Liu Bei laughed loudly, waved his horsewhip, and instructed Dian Wei: "Go, let go and kill, I, Liu Bei, have not killed for many years, and the world thinks that I have become a Bodhisattva." Let this straw bag know today that I, Liu Bei, am not a mud man. ”

Dian Wei turned his head and left, Chen Deng followed behind and shouted, Dian Wei ignored it, Chen Deng was helpless, and hurriedly turned back and begged Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, please summon General Dian back quickly." The situation in the army is unknown, the existence of the rebellion has not yet been investigated, and the indiscriminate killing at this time is ominous. I'll wait until I'm in the camp to mobilize the generals before making plans. ”

Perhaps it was Zhenrong's indiscriminate killing that made Liu Bei resentful and eager to kill people; Perhaps it was Xuzhou, which had been in business for many years, that the turbulence exceeded Liu Bei's expectations, making him lose his cool and need to vent the fire in his heart. However, Liu Bei is not from Xuzhou, and after he indiscriminately killed people and established his authority, it was Chen Deng who left to clean up the mess. And if Chen Deng wants to stabilize the position of state pastor, he must win the hearts of the people and subordinate officials, so he must not bear the reputation of suspicion and indiscriminate killing with Liu Bei. Chen Deng must come forward to persuade him.

"Xuande Gong, the power of the false benevolence, the king of virtue and benevolence, today's Xuzhou turmoil, should be benevolent to win the trust of the people, as the saying goes: the loss of the world, the loss of its people; Lose its people, lose its heart. There is a way to win the world: to win the people, to win the world; There is a way to win the people: to win their hearts, to win the people; There is a way to get his heart: gather with it as much as you want, and don't do anything evil. Xuande Gong, only the law in the world can condemn people, mortals have no right to decide the wrongs of others, and they cannot be killed indiscriminately without trial, this is what Xuande has always advocated, and the people's hearts cannot be lost, please Xuande Gong quickly order to stop killing. ”

Chen Deng knew that Liu Bei was good at reading "Mencius", and took the "people-oriented thought" of "Mencius" as the test question for the assessment of Qingzhou scholars, and all the works just quoted were "Mencius", and the last sentence was emphasized by Liu Bei all the time in Qingzhou, Chen Deng hoped to resonate with Liu Bei and persuade Dian Wei.

"Killing people can be generals, killing people can be public, leading beasts and eating human flesh can be kings and emperors, chanting for eternity, and worshipping for thousands of years. The world is so unfair, history is just a 'history of beasts', a family name of an emperor, the world is so fond of raising knives and guns against their compatriots, let me kill to stop killing, cut these dregs, abscesses, scum, tumors with a knife, and return my Han a bright future. ”

At this moment, Dian Wei had roared and approached the city gate, and the city gate guards cowered, unable to make up their minds to intercept it.

Because the laws of Qingzhou are different from those of Xuzhou, Tao Qian agreed with Liu Bei when he was alive that the Qingzhou people who committed the crime must be handed over to Lianyungang, and the joint court of the two sides will make a judgment. Therefore, the people of Qingzhou in Xuzhou, as long as they occupy the reason, are not afraid of the local government at all. This led to the fact that Qingzhou people in Xuzhou often liked to argue on the basis of reason, which made the local officials quite a headache. Eventually, as long as they don't break the law, the magistrates are often reluctant to care about petty quarrels involving them.

Now, the martial law order issued in the city did not pass through the hands of the city lord Chen Deng, and the big man in front of him was obviously dressed as a Qingzhou person, looking like he was looking at the fault with a fierce attitude, and there were countless cavalry behind him to cover the military flag, staring at the city gate viciously, and the city gate guards looked at Dian Wei shaking all over his body, approached the city gate, and cut the cable of the drawbridge with an axe in his hand.

Liu Bei waved his hand, and Chen Dengjun's flag officer unfurled the military flag, waving the military flag and rushing towards the suspension bridge first.

"When the governor returns to the city, the generals kneel to greet him", Chen Deng's subordinates shouted in unison.

The guards of the city gate were just about to be angry, and this shout stopped them, and after a moment's hesitation, another shout came.

"Loose cavalry, regular attendants, envoys, special envoys, special envoys, Zhongdu Governor, Nan Xu, Yanqing, Ji You, and Liuzhou Zhujun Zhendong, General Kaifuyi, Tongsansi Lu, Shangshu, Qingzhou Muguang, Rao Marquis, Izumo Guogong, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, entered the city, and the idle people avoided it", Liu Bei's flag officer shouted loudly.

The guards of the gates trembled and fell to their knees. Dian Wei didn't look back, and strode into the city gate.

"I'm going to die, such a long name, you can't stop shouting it out in one breath", Liu Bei angrily scolded the flag officer: "Is it useful to say so many names?" You only said, 'Liu Bei is here, is there anyone in the world who doesn't know about me Liu Bei?' ”

The flag officer galloped with Liu Bei and replied without backing: "My lord, the etiquette system is like this, and it should not be wasted. ”

Chen Deng was interrupted just now, and at this moment, he was anxious and angry, and said sarcastically as he ran: "Does Xuande Gong need to rely on his official title to show off himself?" Through the ages, there can be countless miscellaneous officials and officials, but Liu Xuande has only one person, and if you sign up in the future, you can only report the name of 'Xuande'. ”

Liu Bei couldn't hear the sarcasm, and even his flag officer was a confused person, so he actually stood up on the horse with an appreciative expression, and shouted: "Liu Bei Liu Xuande entered the city, and the idlers avoided it." After speaking, he still looked smug and flattered: "Lord, it's really good, the sentence is short and loud, shouting like this to ensure that the city can hear it clearly." ”

Liu Bei's horse's hooves rumbled onto the drawbridge and rushed into the city gate, Li Jin did not wait for Liu Bei's orders, and then ordered: "The first battalion of the first brigade, dismount, take over the city; The guard brigade will follow General Dian, and the rest will come with me. ”

Chen Deng was a little dissatisfied, with such a division of troops, Liu Bei was equal to no one around him, how could this person be his subordinate? The angry Chen Deng was about to scold Li Jin, and as soon as he turned his head, Liu Bei urged his horse to follow closely behind the Guards Brigade.

Chen Deng hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood Li Jin's intentions, urged the horse to rush into Liu Bei's side, and asked, "Where did this military academy go?" Barracks? ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Block the door of the Xuzhou military camp, in case there is a change, you can cut off the other party's response." ”

Chen Deng replied: "Without my military order, I am afraid that it will cause a conflict, so if someone comes, send my order arrow quickly." ”

After arranging the trivial work, Chen Deng said dissatisfiedly: "Xuan Degong, your subordinates are too self-righteous, he took everyone away on his own initiative, and let you have no soldiers to protect ......"

Rushing into the Yicheng Mansion, Liu Bei threw his stirrup and dismounted, explaining: "Yuanlong, I'm not you, so I don't blame him." He understood that I had broken through thousands of troops, and it didn't matter if I followed the guards and had no one around to protect me. At that time, the blockade of the camp gate was the most important, and Li Jin was good at grasping the fighter plane, making a quick decision and doing a good job. However, you literati lead troops, this practice, you just can't adapt to it for a while. ”

At the door of the government office, a corpse was crooked and twisted, with broken flesh; In the palace, Dian Wei roared, and occasionally there were bursts of screams. Liu Bei grabbed Chen Deng and listened attentively. Suddenly, the general Qiao Rui ran out of the ground, covered in blood and with a frightened face, and when he saw the people standing at the door, his feet were weak, and he forced himself to say, "Lord Taishou, why did you suddenly face us with a sword." ”

Qiao Rui said, her eyes still rolling around, looking around. Seeing Liu Bei, he was shocked, and his body slowly softened: "Lord Xuande is here, so to speak, the general has been defeated?" ”

General Hou refers to Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui does not call Yuan Shu by name, indicating that he still has a trace of illusion about Yuan Shu, Chen Deng has not yet expressed his position, Liu Bei, who has always advocated loyalty, has nodded his appreciation: "Qiao Rui, still has a heart for the master, indicating that there is still loyalty in his heart, but why did he rebel?" ”

Qiao Rui was shocked, and reluctantly defended: "What is the basis for the rebellion? We are just discussing the political situation in Xuzhou in the future, and a reckless man will be killed when he enters the door. ”

Liu Bei smiled coldly, pointed at the corpse lying at the door with the knife in his hand, and asked sharply: "Gather people to discuss?" Why are all the guards at the gate surrendered? Yuan Long has not been in the city for a few days, and the troops have been formed and trained? Where are the soldiers of Liang Guojun? ”

Liu Bei reminded Chen Deng to look at the corpses lying on the ground, and sure enough, there was not a single soldier of Liangguo County - the soldiers of Liangguo County completely adopted the Qingzhou military system, the armor was all made of Qingzhou plate iron armor, and the soldiers lying down at the door were all wearing leather armor, and the difference between the two sides was immediately known.

Qiao Rui's eyes wandered, and he replied: "This is General Cao's doing, and we are just following orders." ”

Chen Deng interjected at this time and asked, "Where is Cao Bao?" ”

Qiao Rui replied: "I have lost my life in the hands of that reckless man." ”

Liu Bei walked towards the palace with his hands behind his back and in a pool of blood, Chen Deng hurriedly said to Qiao Rui: "Come with me." ”

Several attendants immediately rushed up, built a bridge and walked towards the house.

Liu Bei came in just now, at that time, the only surviving general in the hall was holding the chair leg and struggling to block Dian Wei's slashing, with Dian Wei's roar, the axe cut off the chair leg, breaking the forehead, suddenly, the whole hall was only left with Dian Wei's wheezing gasp, he waited for the red eyes, looking for the remnants everywhere, saw Qiao Rui, raised the axe, and was about to exert force, Liu Bei cut down in front of his eyes, attracting his attention.

"Lord, fortunately not dishonored", Dian Wei dropped the axe, hammered his chest with his right hand, and gave a military salute.

Liu Bei picked up a chair that was still intact from the pool of blood, raised his hand to invite Chen Deng to sit down, and ordered, "Is the military judge here?" Call him. ”

After a while, Chen and the other attendants summoned the military judge, and Liu Bei asked, "Qingzhou people?" ”

The military judge bowed his hand, his face full of surprise, and nodded his head while handing out an inquiring look.

Liu Bei smiled faintly and said calmly: "Only Qingzhou people dare to look at Shangguan with their eyes. I heard that Xuzhou used a lot of retired Qingzhou soldiers as military judges, especially in the Liangguo County army, and it seems that this is the case. ”

After breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Bei said again: "There is a rebellion in the city, do you know? ”

The military judge replied, "I don't know." ”

Liu Bei pointed to the bloody massacre in the hall and said, "The main culprit has been killed, you go and summon the judge, and I will personally try this case." ”

The military judge bowed and saluted and said, "It is the judge's duty to picket crimes and punish adultery. ”

Liu Bei was furious, pressed his sword and asked, "You mean to say that I have no right to interrogate?" ”

The military judge stiffened his neck and replied simply: "Exactly." ”

Liu Bei looked at the military judge angrily, the military judge was-for-tat, his eyes were firmly looking at Liu Bei, Dian Wei let out a low roar in his voice, picked up the bloody axe, and made a gesture to cut the military judge.

Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Dian Wei, slowly inserted the knife into the sheath, and said stupidly: "Okay, this place belongs to Xuzhou, and I have no power to judge." ”

The military judge did not give an inch: "Lord Envoy, even in Qingzhou, you do not have the authority to hear cases. ”

"What?" Liu Bei pulled out half of his waist knife and asked angrily: "I am the shepherd of Qingzhou, you can tell me, the entire four prefectures of Qingzhou, Hebei, and Youzhou are under my governance, and I have no right to personally try a case, what is the reason?" ”

After listening to Liu Bei's words, the military judge said firmly: "Lord Envoy, of course you are the supreme commander of the four states, and you are in charge of all major internal affairs and foreign strategies. However, it is absolutely impossible for the king to try the case in person. ”

"Haha", Liu Bei laughed at the sky, but there was no smile on his face: "The laws of the four states are all promulgated by me, and you don't let me try the case, do you think that I am inherently stupid, or I don't know the law as well as you and your colleagues?" ”

The military judge replied with a blank look: "Thank you, Father, for giving us a wise envoy in Qingzhou, endowed with extremely profound knowledge and an incomparable mind. Although he made the law of the king, he was not proficient in the practice of the law. The cases to be handled by judges involve criminal cases, civil entanglements, and economic disputes involving the common people, and are related to people's lives, integrity, property, and so on; it is impossible to handle them well only with the knowledge of the law in books; law is an independent discipline that requires long-term study and practice to master, and no one can engage in the trial and trial of cases without professional study and personal practice. Haven't you always emphasized that officials are responsible for their own responsibilities? Therefore, I think that you have no power and are not suitable to hear the case in person. ”

Liu Bei calmed down, paced a few steps around the military judge, and asked, "In this case, if you come to try this case, how will you judge?" ”

The military judge pointed to the corpses everywhere and replied: "There is no evidence of death, there is no investigation, and the crime of rebellion is not established." ”

Liu Bei put away his sword in frustration, and said helplessly: "You are right, just do as you say." ”

Pacing to Qiao Rui's side, Liu Bei said meaningfully: "Yuan Shu's defeat is imminent, and there is no way back." After Yuanlong ascended to the state pastoral system, he must vigorously promote the laws of Qingzhou, you rely on the laws of Qingzhou to survive, you have no way out, support Yuanlong. ”

Without waiting for Qiao Rui to answer, Liu Bei paced to Cao Bao's corpse, and said to Chen Deng without raising his head: "If you lose a Cao Leopard, you will gain a Qiao Rui, and the gain will be far greater than the loss." Yuanlong, this matter is like this. ”

Qiao Rui knelt on the ground and swore a curse to express his heartfelt heart to Chen Deng, and Chen Deng reluctantly echoed Liu Bei's statement: "That's all this matter will do." ”

The Yicheng Rebellion has since become a major historical mystery, and later generations have different opinions on it, but even historians who agree with Liu Bei often admit privately that in the Yicheng Rebellion, Liu Bei briefly lost his rationality, but fortunately, he stopped the precipice in time.

The Han Dynasty admired the strength of officials, and the Eastern Han Dynasty once had the title of "Strong Order". The military judge's actions made him famous, and since then, the direction of public opinion and struggle has completely changed, and they desperately defend the independence of the law and the uniqueness of the judge's judgment on crimes. Later historians commented: The rule of law society began with Xuzhou Military Judge Liu Chong's confrontation with Liu Bei.

At the same time, Cao Cao was not around, and the Son of Heaven, who was not controlled, thought about it for a long time, and finally accepted Huangfu Song's dying suggestion, and prepared to go out to Qingzhou, participate in the Qingzhou Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival celebration and seal Mount Tai.

The locusts, which have always been huge, are about to enter the territory of Qingzhou......
