Chapter 124: Servants are like clouds
Standing in the center of the square, looking around, Guan Ping's eyes moved slightly, he had a plan, and began to organize the language.
"Fellow Jiangling, since our army has occupied Jingzhou, my father, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, has no desire to oppress you, but always follows the will of the king of Hanzhong and supports you and other villagers."
"In the past, you were often oppressed by local wealthy families, and most of the harvest in the fields was harvested every year."
"The oppression of the wealthy family, heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, are always with you, but if you think about it carefully, in the past ten years, since my father Hanshouting Marquis was the governor of Jingzhou, has your livelihood improved?"
These words came out loud and resounded for miles in a radius, and the people around them couldn't help but ponder when they heard it.
In the middle of the crowd, an old man who was a little rickety, nearly fifty years old, with a cane in his hand, couldn't help but change his expression, and instantly became energetic, and said loudly: "Major General, what you say is good. ”
"In the past ten years, our life has indeed improved a lot compared with the past, less of the government's expropriation and tyranny, less oppression of local wealthy families, at least we can be self-sufficient after paying taxes."
"The villain understands that this is all a situation in which the prince rectifies the rule of officials. Otherwise, we would not have such a good life. ”
"Guan Junhou, it's like my reborn parents!"
After a pause, the old man suddenly turned around, his face suddenly became serious, his old eyes looked at everyone, and he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, you say, should we thank Guan Junhou, General Guan?" ”
"Yes, yes."
It is only said that with the leadership of the old man, soon, many people will react that they can have today's life, and they can endure the rectification of the government and drastic reforms after Guan Yu supervised Jingzhou.
So, in a moment, the people shouted.
The next moment, the people of the whole city suddenly knelt on the ground in unison and shouted: "The king of Hanzhong is benevolent and righteous, and the prince of Guan is mighty." ”
"Benevolence, righteousness, might."
For a time, the people spared no effort to roar, but this roar spread throughout the city, and the villages around Gangneung also heard it, and then they also joined in the roar.
At this moment, on the high platform, the county guard Mi Fang and the surrounding people were all shocked, and they all felt incredulous!
"This, the young general actually caused the people to bow and worship in just two sentences?"
"Young General, if you are really resourceful, the prince has this son, it is really a blessing in life."
"From this point of view, Guan Ping's acting skills are not weaker than those of Wang Ye in Hanzhong."
The last words are what Mi Fang thinks from the bottom of her heart.
All of a sudden, seeing this, everyone also secretly praised Guan Ping, and couldn't help but pay more attention to him.
Half-roared, Guan Ping's face loosened, and he waved his hand.
Gradually, the people also stopped clamoring.
At this moment, Guan Ping chuckled: "Everyone, please get up!" ”
"King Hanzhong, my father rectified the rule of officials, and he just hoped that the people of the world would be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and at the same time, they also hoped that they could help the Han family as soon as possible, sweep away the traitors, and set things right, so that the world could be a bright and prosperous world, so that the people of the Han Dynasty can be like you, and there is no worry about starvation."
"So, you don't have to thank my father, that's what he should do."
At this moment, although they did not say it explicitly, the slightest belief in their eyes had already been moved by Guan Ping's words, and they respected Guan Yu and Liu Bei even more.
After a pause, Guan Ping felt that the time had come, so he said: "Everyone, we now have a stable life, but the general has received information that the Wu army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River has disregarded the alliance with our army, wantonly destroyed the alliance, and took advantage of the opportunity of the northern expedition led by the prince and the marquis to attack in a big way, trying to seize Jingzhou and destroy our stable life. ”
"What do you think our army should do?"
After a rhetorical question, he slowly stopped and continued to guide the people.
Originally, Guan Ping had not yet thought about how to stimulate the morale of the people in the city, so that they could share the same hatred and hatred for the enemy, and unite as one to resist the imminent attack of the Wu army.
However, the rebel general just now struggled with the restraint of the executioner, and rushed wildly, shouting and screaming, trying to use the public opinion of the people to save his life.
This move suddenly made Guan Ping have an idea, and he thought of stimulating the morale of the people.
When the words fell, the surrounding people shouted and echoed: "We should defend the city to the death, resist the thief army, and prevent them from ruining our stable life." ”
"Resist the Wu army and swear to the death."
"Yes, we should pick up our weapons to resist the onslaught of the thieves and defend our hard-won life."
After a pause, Guan Ping's eyes instantly became serious, and he said again: "It's just that the Wu army is also a foreign enemy, and it is understandable that they attacked our army." ”
"However, after hearing the news of the attack of the Wu army, there are many people in our army who are greedy for life and afraid of death, eating inside and out, secretly communicating with the Wu army, and trying to sacrifice the city and surrender."
"Use this as a petition to sell our interests in exchange for their glory and wealth."
"You say, can you stay like such a scum?"
"No, no."
"Kill, kill."
At this moment, with Guan Ping's layers of foreshadowing, not only the surrounding people were boiling, but the sergeants in the formation were also furious, filled with righteous indignation, and looked at the rebel generals on Xingxingtai in unison, their eyes were filled with endless anger, and they shouted.
At this time, under the high platform, the general named "Lao He" couldn't help but sink in his heart, his face was expressionless, and he muttered: "It's over!" ”
Originally, his plan was to shout and scream, attract the attention of the people, and use public opinion to make Guan Ping throw himself into a trap and give up executing them.
After all, they had only just exchanged notes with Wu Jun and had not had substantial collusion.
Therefore, he thought that under the pressure of public opinion, at least the capital crime could be avoided!
It's a pity that he underestimated Guan Ping's ability, and never expected that Guan Ping would be able to fight back, which aroused the nameless anger in the hearts of the people.
Now, when the people look at them, they can't help but be filled with endless anger, eager to devour them alive, how can they exert public opinion?
Sure enough, in the next second, Guan Ping held the sword in his hand, his face was cold, his steps were staggering, and he walked towards him with great heaviness.
At this time, he looked at Guan Ping's murderous machine all over his face, and suddenly felt fear, as if his back was cold.
"Young General, spare your life, the last general will know his mistake, and he will never dare to do it again in the future."
At this moment, this general immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
Half-ringing, Guan Ping approached, his face was indifferent, merciless, and drew his sword out of the sheath.
"Ahh
A sword seals the throat!
Immediately after, it was as if the square had fallen into silence, and only the endless sound of bullying was circulating.
In the next second, Guan Ping wiped the blood stains on the sword on the corpse, and then put it back on the hilt, and then shouted coldly: "Listen to the general's order, and kill all the rebel generals." ”
"Kill them all!"
This shout spread to every corner of the square, and it was extremely cold.
In the next second, the executioner was expressionless, and he swung his knife and slashed down.
"Ahh
In an instant, the remaining rebel generals on Xingxingtai, without exception, were all cut in half, and then blood was dripping and flowing out in unison, contaminating the earth.
It's just that more than a dozen rebel generals did not die immediately, they were still moaning, their faces distorted, and they were extremely painful.
This is the halving!
It can be called the most painful form of execution in ancient times.
Since after the beheading, there will be blood first, and only if there is too much blood loss, the person will die, therefore, at this stage, the person who is beheaded will suffer inhuman pain.
Guan Ping ordered the beheading, also to warn the rest of the people, if anyone dared to surrender, they would inevitably be sentenced to such capital punishment.
After half a ring, the moans slowly fell silent, obviously the rebel had lost too much blood and died completely!
At this moment, Guan Pingcai's face was relieved, and he walked back to the center of the square, facing the surrounding people, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, now that the rebellion has been completely eliminated, the Wu army has also killed on a large scale. ”
"However, the main army led by the prince will not be able to return for a while, so Jiangling City still needs us to hold on for a while."
"But our army is slightly weak in the face of the Wu army that is pouring out, and I hope that at this time of life and death, you can stand up, take up arms, defend our own city, and repel the thief army."
"Guys, do you have a voluntary response?"
As soon as the words fell, Guan waited quietly.
It's just that after half a ring, in the crowd, except for some hesitation, no one stood up.
Seeing this, Guan Ping's complexion sank, and he said loudly: "Everyone, now that life and death are at stake, is there no one in my majestic land who can stand up and defend their own interests?" ”
"Could it be that you can't bear to watch the Wu thieves wantonly trample on their homeland?"
"My Han people should not avoid war, not cowardly war, when fighting, those who dare to fight, how can they be afraid like rats, cowards are not worthy of being Han people, that can only be a shame!"
As soon as the words fell, suddenly more than ten young men were unprovoked, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Major General, we are willing to join the army to fight, defend the Han Dynasty, and protect our own interests." ”
"Repel the Wu thief, and the Han will win."
As more than a dozen people stood up to answer the call, in a short period of time, more than 100 young people stood up to answer the call.
"Okay, good, this is worthy of being my big man, bloody."
Encouraging, Guan Ping suddenly said in a loud voice: "I will promise you on behalf of my father that all those who are voluntarily called to defend the city in this battle will be exempted from taxes for three years and given ten acres of land by their families after the war is over." ”
"If a person dies, the government should pay double the pension to his family to support his family."
A high shout resounded in the square.
Hearing this, the people of the whole city were boiling, and their eyes seemed to be bursting with golden light, ready to move.
"Major General, I am willing to answer the call."
"I'm willing to go into battle and kill the enemy."
All of a sudden, the number of people who responded to the call increased more and more, and in a short period of time, there were tens of thousands of people who answered the call.
Seeing this, Guan Ping's sword frowned, and he muttered an order: "In this battle, our army only needs to recruit 5,000 people, and the young and strong are given priority, and those with courage are given priority." ”
"Liu Jia, you are in charge of the selection!"
"No."
When the order was passed, Liu Jia immediately handed over the order, and then led the crowd to the selection.
This is the charm of being free from taxes and giving land.
This simple promise instantly attracted the people of the city to answer the call to defend the city.
On the high platform, everyone saw the scene of the surrounding people responding to the call, and they couldn't help but stare sideways at Guan Ping's body, and couldn't help but sigh: "Young General, you really deserve to be a general!" ”
"This kind of ability, if it grows for a few more years, I'm afraid that the prince will not be able to do it a little!"
As for Mi Fang on the side, seeing this, he secretly thought: "From this point of view, the peace is here, and the Wu army is worry-free." ”
"Gangneung must be as strong as a rock."
At this moment, the generals saw Guan Ping's ability one after another, and they couldn't help but solidify their faith and strengthen their confidence in defending Jiangling.
