Chapter 700: Absolute Confidence
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Penzi and asked, "You are Liu Penzi?" ”
Liu Penzi was in front of Liu Xiu, his body was almost trembling, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence. It was Liu Gong who bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the brother of the criminal minister, Liu Penzi." ”
Liu Xiu sighed and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have also been the Son of Heaven for almost two years. ”
Liu Penzi was crowned emperor in the first three years of the change, that is, in the twenty-fifth year of AD. It is now the third year of Jianwu, the twenty-seventh year of A.D.
Listening to Liu Xiu's words, Liu Penzi was even more frightened, and he was even more speechless. Liu Gong kowtowed forward, and Zhengse said: "Being promoted as the Son of Heaven is not Liu Penzi's original intention, and please don't be angry with him." ”
Liu Penzi nodded like pounding garlic, snot and tears flowed down together, and said in a choked voice: "It's all ...... It was all ...... They forced me to be the Son of Heaven, I ...... I don't want to be the ...... of the Son of Heaven."
As he spoke, he also raised his hand and pointed at Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others. But Fan Chong's eyes looked over, and Liu Penzi was so frightened that he immediately put his hand down, lowered his head, and his body shook non-stop.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu sighed secretly. How did Liu Penzi do the Son of Heaven, he knew very well in his heart that in the past two years, what kind of life Liu Penzi had lived in the Red Eyebrow Army, he had heard some of it.
Speaking of which, this Liu Penzi is also a poor person. Liu Xiu really couldn't be angry with him, and he couldn't even have the slightest resentment towards him.
He asked, "Liu Penzi, if I let you go, how will you live in the future?" ”
Liu Penzi didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people can go home to herd cattle!" "Go home and continue to be his cattle herder.
In the past, he and his eldest brother were coerced by the Red Eyebrow Army, and they joined the Red Eyebrow Army in a daze, and later, the Red Eyebrow Army asked them, the Liu clansmen, to draw lots, and he became the Son of Heaven in a daze.
Liu Xiu muttered: "I want to go home to herd cattle...... "This is too ambitious, no matter what, you are also a person who has been the son of heaven." Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "When I return to Beijing, I will give you an official position." ”
Liu Penzi blinked and looked at Liu Xiu in puzzlement. Give yourself an official position? I don't know anything, what can I do? When he was in a daze, Liu Gong secretly stabbed him and whispered, "Don't thank you yet!" ”
He finally came back to his senses, and kowtowed three times in a row at Liu Xiu, and said loudly: "Grass people, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
"Huh!" Liu Xiu was amused by him, waved his hand at him, and said, "Please get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Don't look at Liu Penzi is also a son of heaven, but calling Liu Xiu Your Majesty is quite smooth.
Then, Liu Xiu turned his eyes and looked at Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others. Liu Xiu's gaze was not very sharp, but it was swept away by his gaze, Fan Chong and the others all shook their heads, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to face Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu looked around and asked slowly, "Where is Mo Yan?" ”
Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, and Feng An, the main leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army, were not the people Liu Xiu wanted to see the most, and now what he wanted to see most was Mo Yan, a fierce enemy who wanted to kill him and sent assassins to assassinate him repeatedly.
Everyone looked at each other, no one answered, but Xu Xuan cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, Mo Yan is missing." ”
"What?" Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows, missing?
Xu Xuan lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said cautiously: "After the battle between the two armies, I haven't seen Mo Yan again. ”
Liu Xiu blinked his eyes and asked word by word, "You mean to say that Mo Yan may have died in the chaos of the battlefield?" ”
"Yes...... There is also this possibility. ”
Liu Xiu sneered and asked, "Do you believe this possibility?" ”
"Sinners don't believe."
"Oh?" Not only did Mo Yan disappear, but even his subordinates disappeared, and it was inferred that Mo Yan saw that the red eyebrows were gone, so he took his subordinates and fled secretly. As for where they fled, the criminals really don't know
。 ”
Liu Xiu looked at Xu Xuan intently, and after a long while, he withdrew his gaze and said quietly: "I believe your words." Xu Xuan subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu, seeing that the latter's blazing eyes were also staring at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "For an ungrateful villain like Mo Yan, the criminal minister is also very shameful, if Wei Chen knows about Mo."
Yan's whereabouts, Weichen must tell His Majesty the truth. ”
Liu Xiu no longer said much about Mo Yan's affairs, he changed his words and asked: "If I spare you and don't die, how should you live after you wait?" ”
The same question he asked again to Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others. Fan Chong immediately said: "The criminal minister is willing to saddle the horse before and after His Majesty, and serve the dogs and horses!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was happy, and said slowly: "Our army has many generals and a wide range of generals, and there is no shortage of people. Liu Xiu looked down on these generals of the Red Eyebrow Army in his heart, in his eyes, this was a group of mediocre people, and they were not worth it at all.
His words can be described as merciless, Fan Chong's face was red, and he was silent.
Liu Xiule glanced at Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and the others, and said: "In the future, you will settle in Luoyang, and I will give each of you a hundred acres of fertile land, so that you can wait for food and clothing without worry, so good?" ”
Fan Chong, Xie Lu, Feng An, and Yang Yin's faces were more ugly than the other.
In the Red Mei Army, they are all generals who command thousands of troops and horses, and in the Jianshi Imperial Court, they are the imperial historians and the left and right masters, but they surrendered to Liu Xiu and can only be farmers who farm?
Seeing that everyone was silent and their faces were gloomy, Xu Xuan was afraid that they would be rash and have an argument with Liu Xiu. Xu Xuan took the lead in kneeling and kowtowing, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing you!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Fan Chong and the others with a smile.
Under the glance of Liu Xiu's gaze, Fan Chong, Xie Lu, Feng An, and Yang Yin clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and knelt down one after another, kowtowed forward, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!" ”
"Good." Liu Xiu said: "Since you have no objections, then, the matter is decided!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
For the Red Mei Army who surrendered, Liu Xiu was extraordinarily gracious, and did not kill anyone indiscriminately, even Liu Penzi, the founding emperor who fought against him, he did not kill, and promised that after returning to Beijing, he would give him an official position.
I have to say that Liu Xiu's heart is indeed broad enough. After Liu Penzi, Liu Gong, Fan Chong and others all withdrew from the Chinese military tent, Geng Yi turned his head and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty, Weichen looks at Fan Chong and others, they are all superficially subservient, and they are not grateful for Your Majesty's extrajudicial kindness, but there are many disadvantages
Man, in the opinion of Weichen, now should cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future. Wu Han agreed with Geng Yi's opinion very much, he snorted coldly and said, "The general of the defeated army should be executed!" Your Majesty's grace is vast, sparing the lives of the thieves, but the thieves still have resentments, they are really shameless, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks, uncle
That's a good word! Deng Yu continued: "The Red Eyebrow Army is in the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan and Henan, and has a high prestige, and there are still many supporters
In the battle, our soldiers can take the lead and take the initiative! ”
His words won Liu Xiu's heart. The latter nodded and said, "Zhonghua is reasonable! ”
Geng Yi said: "What Weichen is worried about is that the remnants of the red eyebrows are afraid that there will be changes in the future. ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said in a brisk tone: "Then completely dispel their thoughts of changing in the future." ”
The next day, Liu Xiu personally went to receive the Red Mei troops. The more than 100,000 Red Eyebrow Army surrendered, and the scale should not be underestimated. Truckloads of weapons were pulled out of the camp of the Red Mei Army, and hundreds of truckloads were transported.
At the same time as the Red Eyebrow Army disarmed, the bare-handed Red Eyebrow soldiers were also taken out of the camp in batches.
Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, Feng An and other generals of the Red Mei Army came to Liu Xiu's side and told him in detail which army, which part, and which song the soldiers and horses belonged to.
When all the 100,000 Red Eyebrow troops left the camp, Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked, and the crowds surged, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance. The scale of the army of 100,000 is overwhelming.
Liu Xiu did not ask his soldiers to bring these surrendered troops to the Han army camp, but led them to Luoshui. Luoshui is on the edge of Yiyang, not far from Yiyang.
100,000 Red Mei soldiers were brought to the shore of Luoshui by the Han soldiers, and at the same time, the Han soldiers lined up opposite the Red Mei Army.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The dull sound of drums sounded rhythmically, and the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army present were stunned, not understanding what the Han Army was going to do.
Fan Chong and the others turned pale, could it be that Liu Xiu really wanted to go back on his word and kill all his 100,000 soldiers in Luoshui?
Feng An's body trembled, looked around in a panic, and stammered: "Liu Xiu...... Liu Xiu: What does he want to do? He...... He's not going to kill us, is he? ”
Fan Chong's face was also very pale, he turned his head to look at Xu Xuan angrily, and asked, "Xu Xuan, didn't you say that Liu Xiu has always kept his promise and will not do anything that goes back on his word?" ”
At this time, Xu Xuan's head was also confused. He has obviously surrendered, why does Liu Xiu still want to kill them all? It doesn't make sense! Liu Xiu did things, how could he be so vicious?
"Huh!" Xie Lu suddenly grinned, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I waited for my life to fight, but I didn't expect to end up like this, wretched!" There is no one in the world who waits, right? Haha......"
Looking at Xie Lu, who seemed to be crazy, people felt sad in their hearts, and some generals and soldiers couldn't help but cry.
At this moment, the luan bell of the carriage rang out. People subconsciously raised their eyes and saw carriages, loaded with weapons handed in by the Red Eyebrow Army, slowly walking over.
The endless carriage convoy finally stopped in front of the officers and soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army.
The people stared blankly at the carriage, at the carriage full of weapons, all of them looked like they wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare to go up.
This situation made Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others also dumbfounded, and they didn't understand what the Han army wanted to do. If you want to kill them, why did you bring the weapons they turned in?
Just when people were all with question marks, Liu Xiu rode a horse, surrounded by Deng Yu, Wu Han, and Geng Yi, and came to Fan Chong and Xu Xuan.
Seeing that Liu Xiu actually came over in person, everyone's bodies were shocked, and for a while, they didn't know whether to kneel down and salute, or to make a defensive gesture.
Liu Xiu rode a horse, came to the front of everyone, pulled the reins, and stopped the war horse.
He sat on horseback, looked at everyone condescendingly, and said, "I know that you and others have dissatisfaction and complaints about my arrangement. Now, I'm going to give you a chance, a chance for you to turn defeat into victory! As he spoke, he raised his horsewhip and pointed to the carriage convoy not far away, and said: "The weapons you have handed in are all here, now, you can pick up your weapons and fight with my Han soldiers on the bank of Luoshui, and see who will kill you and me!" ”
