The dawn of the dawn, the fighting of the night was replaced by the tranquility of the day, and the gate of the Xiaoling Guard Barracks of the Purple Mountain was slowly opened from the inside.

It didn't take long for a man to be tied up and pushed out by the officers and soldiers of the Xiaoling Guard.

Due to the morning dew, the land on the Purple Mountain was a little damp, and Liu Yuanbin sat on the stone, and his buttocks were already wet inadvertently.

He saw the white flag erected in Xiaolingwei's camp, and the corners of his mouth curled, leaned down to wipe the dew on his boots, and when he looked up, he saw the person who was tied up by five flowers.

At this time, the Yongwei battalion was cooking in a pot, and after eating, it planned to collect the team and enter Nanjing.

An officer held a steaming roasted sweet potato in his hand and handed it to Liu Yuanbin, reminding in a low voice: "General, this should be Wu Ye, the commander of Xiaolingwei, and the leaders of these rebels in the barracks, be careful." ”

"Got it."

Liu Yuanbin suffered a loss from Yu Ren, and his left arm was slightly injured as a result, although he was recuperated by a military medical officer, but after all, he didn't have much rest, and he still felt pain when he got up and moved.

After eating a trench and growing wise, he will know how to prevent the other party's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry.

"We are not rebels."

Wu Ye was tied up by Wuhuada, and the first sentence attracted Liu Yuanbin's attention, but the latter didn't speak, just stood up and wiped his buttocks, took a big bite of the sweet potato, and turned around and said:

"Send a letter back to Chen Shuai, Xiaolingwei has been pacified."

The pacification operation against Xiaolingwei was carried out for a day and a night, and the people brought out by Liu Yuanbin basically did not eat much.

When the battle was over, the tense expression relaxed, and the stomach rumbled, and the generals were so hungry that they naturally had to finish eating before leaving.

While eating roasted sweet potatoes, Liu Yuanbin looked the rebel leader in front of him up and down, and said vaguely:

"You are also sensible, and you know that if you don't go against the court, otherwise none of your family members will survive."

An officer came up to him, picked up the conversation, and said:

"Hmph, last night at the Xiaolingwei station, dozens of relatives of Yu Ren's people, up to seventy or eighty, down to those half-grown children, everything that was found was cut by us."

Wu Ye was stunned for a moment, and said straight to the point:

"The blame for this time lies with any of you, those of us who stayed in the barracks didn't want to rebel with him, and asked the general to go back and tell Your Majesty the truth."

Liu Yuanbin finished eating the roasted sweet potato, rubbed his hands, raised his head when he heard the words, and said bluntly:

"There is no discussion on this matter, Your Majesty has issued an edict, and it is impossible to take back the decree, you people are all sinners."

"Don't say that you didn't rebel with Yu Ren, the day before yesterday besieged the Xiaoling Palace, but there were one or two thousand people, and as far as the general knows, there are less than four thousand people left in this military camp."

"Say you're all thieves, wronged?"

Wu Ye looked at him and said, "The general really wants to kill them all, and then go back to the relatives station, and slaughter them all, leaving no old and young?" ”

Liu Yuanbin frowned, after he said this, he, the chief general who was ordered to quell the rebellion, was no different from those Jianyi outside the gate.

He took a few steps forward and narrowed his eyes:

"Ben Jiang has a way to mention it to His Majesty, but I'm afraid that you won't dare, and you will be reluctant to give up your life."

Surprisingly, Wu Ye did not hesitate, he knelt on the ground, knocked his head twice, and when he raised his head, his forehead was still stained with mud.

"When I come out, I'll be ready, general, please."

Liu Yuanbin didn't believe that this Xiao Lingwei commander, who he had never even heard of before, could be so refreshing, only when the other party was pretending to be tough, and sneered:

"If you take full responsibility, just say that it is the fault of any of Yu, and the Xiaoling guards in this camp are all at your command."

"I don't dare to guarantee that I am absolutely sure, but as long as Your Majesty believes it, the relatives of these people behind you will never have anything to do with it."

"It's just that your relatives can't survive, do you dare?"

Wu Ye did not hesitate, and said directly:

"With my relatives alone, in exchange for tens of thousands of filial piety and relatives under the mountain, if the general is persuaded to do it, it should be a great good deed!"

At this time, it was Liu Yuanbin's turn to hesitate, he frowned, and asked again:

"You're really not afraid?"

Wu Ye nodded, looked at the half of the sweet potato in the hand of the officer who was already stunned and speechless, and said, "I'm hungry, can you give it to me?" ”

The officer was stunned for a moment, then laughed, turned around and took another one, and after getting Liu Yuanbin's permission, he untied Wu Ye and handed it to him:

"Here's it all for you."

Wu Ye took it in his hand and began to bite it in large gulps.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yuanbin and everyone in the Yongwei Battalion were surprised, in this world, there are really not many such real men.

It's a shame to die here.

......

An hour later, Liu Yuanbin, who was dressed in armor, sat in the imperial tent with an unnatural expression.

Wang Chaofu instructed the inner supervisor to serve a plum blossom cooked in warm water, sat on the other side, smelled the aroma, smiled intoxicatedly on his face, and asked:

"What is worthy of General Liu's personal report?"

"Your Majesty has transferred a large army and horses to Jianyang, Xijiangkou and other places, and the efforts of the past two days, presumably the rebellion that is still brewing in the local area should also be stopped."

"If the generals from other places have to report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be too busy."

Liu Yuanbin picked up this well-cooked warm tea, although it was full of plum blossom tea, but he didn't have the slightest thought about tasting tea, and suddenly asked:

"Father-in-law, those who have rebelled since ancient times have been exterminated by their relatives?"

Wang Chaofu looked at him in surprise and replied:

"That's different, in the past, King Ning rebelled, and it was only the relatives of those generals who led the troops to be killed, and there were too many people underneath, if you really want to kill it, I'm afraid you have to kill hundreds of thousands of people."

"Oh..."

Liu Yuanbin answered, and his heart settled down a little.

"The general asks what this is for?"

Wang Chaofu's mind was all about tasting tea, and he just asked casually.

In fact, he, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, had more things to do when he was in the palace, but when he came out, there were not many things.

Along the way, the Emperor of the Apocalypse not only had to deal with the government affairs sent by the Jingshi, but also had to be busy dealing with local heroes, officials, and nobles, and he was the one who was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

"Nothing."

When the words landed, the outer tent was lifted, and the two hurriedly put down the tea and got up to salute.

Dressed in military uniform, Zhu Youxiao, who had just returned from Nanjing City, walked in in with high spirits, patted the dust on his legs with a horsewhip, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, and asked:

"You're going to see me for the first time, tell me, what's going on."

For this cavalry general under his command, the famous general of the Yongwei battalion in history, Zhu Youxiao still attaches great importance to training.

In the future, this may be a general who can take charge on his own.

Liu Yuanbin had never been so formal to meet him before, this kind of thing is often to lead the troops to calm down, and then report a victory and it's over.

In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, Liu Yuanbin should have encountered some trouble in Xiaolingwei.

Liu Yuanbin bowed his hand, bowed his head and said:

"Xiaolingwei's nearly 4,000 rebels may deserve to die, but their relatives should not be implicated in this."

"Minister... I want to ask Your Majesty to take back your life! ”

The words landed, and the imperial tent suddenly became quiet, Wang Chaofu almost squirted out a sip of tea, he swallowed the tea forcefully, and stepped forward and said:

"You're fooling around——!"

"Your Majesty's decree, how can there be any reason to take it back?"

Liu Yuanbin glanced at him gratefully, in fact, he could also see that this eunuch had a good heart, this was saving himself and giving himself a step.

When Liu Yuanbin killed those relatives of the chieftains in the southwest, even in the face of children and the elderly, he would never fail to do it, and he was never a person who would be indecisive on the battlefield.

But this time I went to Xiaolingwei to see it, those relatives of the Xiaolingwei garrison really lived in the Purple Mountain for more than 200 years to guard the tomb of Emperor Taizu, and they couldn't suffer such a big disaster just because of Yu Ren, a dog thief.

Therefore, he has to do his part to have a clear conscience.
