Chapter 270: Disposing of the Demote
The Quanzhou County Office, which had been cleaned, sat on the high table, yes, he was used to sitting on the chair and not used to kneeling on the mat anymore. So, all his men sat down at the table and discussed a very important matter, and this scene was very strange.
"General Zhao, oh, by the way, Zhang Ju has already named you Quanhou, according to the rank, you are older than me." Lu Peng deliberately teased Zhao Wan, hoping to relax the cowering Zhao Wan.
As a result, this joke made Zhao Wan even more frightened, and quickly jumped down from the table and knelt down for Lu Peng: "The sin will not dare, Quan Hou is just a rebellious Zhang Ju as the name given by the sin general, in the Han Dynasty, this is a false name, and I dare not call it again, please don't mention it again." ”
Since Zhao Wan no longer mentioned this fake name that was not recognized by the Han bureaucracy, Lu Peng was relieved, so he also jumped off the table, pulled up Zhao Wan, and then jumped on the table.
"General Zhao, you are very happy to be able to lead the troops to return to the Han Dynasty, where are you going to go next?"
This is very critical, Quanzhou, it must not be handed over to Zhao Wan to guard, this is a matter of principle, as for the reuse of Zhao Wan, Lu Peng definitely does not have that mind, with Zhao Wan's submissive temperament in front of the Wuhuan people, it can also be seen that this person is not of great use.
But no matter what, after all, Zhao Wan's original position was there, if he surrendered himself but could not be arranged equally, it would be a negative impact on other people who surrendered to him in the future, which must be carefully considered.
Lu Peng still knows the story of his daughter's bones.
As a result, Zhao Wan seemed to understand Lu Peng's difficulties, so he knelt down and kowtowed again: "The last general followed Zhang Ju's traitor to rebel against the imperial court, and also led the wolf into the house, bringing the Wuhuan people into Youzhou in the Central Plains, causing the Han people in Quanzhou to be killed and injured. I will now hand over the military power, take a group of my brothers back to my hometown, and concentrate on thinking about Lin Quan from now on, hoping to be forgiven by the world and accepted by my ancestors after death. ”
What Zhao Wan said was sincere, Lu Peng could only jump off the table again, support him with his hands again, comfort and comfort with kind words, and invite again.
But no matter how sincerely Lu Peng retained, Zhao Wan would not stay anyway.
Helpless, Lu Peng had no choice but to take hundreds of officials to the gate of Quanzhou to send a group of Zhao Wan's brothers home.
Watching Zhao Wan and his more than 300 brothers roar away with 200 carts, the carts were overloaded, and the axles squeaked painfully, as if they would break at any time.
Lu Peng smiled, took Zhao Wan's hand sincerely, and sincerely wished Zhao Wan a safe journey.
Speaking of this most sincere blessing, Lu Peng's heart was dripping blood, and his back molars were creaking.
The property of 200 carts is the flesh and blood of countless unjust souls in Quanzhou.
Wuhuan people went south, the farthest place has hit Qingzhou, where they passed, like locusts transiting, no matter people and animals were slaughtered and looted, hundreds of people were ruined, countless families were destroyed, Wu Tuhan was designated by the Wuhuan king to stay in Quanzhou, so all the wealth was concentrated in Quanzhou and could not be transported back to the grassland, as a result, Zhao Wan closed the city gate, killed Wu Tuhan, and stole all the gold and silver money obtained by Wu Tuhan.
This time, he went home with an iron heart, in fact, to enjoy this huge wealth that he could not enjoy in several lifetimes.
Lu Peng's concept is that war is not a money-burning business, but an opportunity to make money, he is now holding a butcher's knife and looking around, in fact, every opponent he chooses, almost all of them are robbers, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army, or the big families in various places, his favorite thing is to rob robbers by himself, which is a shortcut to get rich in a blink of an eye.
When he first sent troops to Quanzhou, Lu Peng had already explained his purpose to his subordinates. First, to recover Quanzhou, expand their own base, in order to recruit more displaced people in the future, to expand their own population base, the second point, that is, Wuhuan has swept away Quanzhou, whether it is the common people and the big families, and he himself waives the high banner of justice for the country, confiscated those ownerless land contracts to resettle the displaced people, confiscates the wealth looted by Wuhuan to enrich the military salary, and rebuild the place, especially the latter is the top priority.
As a result, what is always planned does not change quickly, who would have thought that Zhao Wan could simply block the city gate and kill Wu Tuhan, and then turn the massive amount of money obtained by Wu Tuhan into his own?
At that time, this money was in the hands of Zhao Wan, and Lu Peng had no way to stare at it, so he grabbed the money in the hands of the general, and said that it was not good for Lu Peng's reputation, Lu Peng cherished his reputation very much.
Originally, Lu Peng still thought that Zhao Wan would be an official under him in the future, and he slowly pondered to let him spit out some, but it turned out to be good, Zhao Wan simply pulled this massive amount of thieves back to his hometown, and didn't say anything to Lu Peng before leaving, which was really infuriating.
Looking at the car that was slowly moving away, Lu Peng cried, not because he was reluctant to Zhao Wan, but because he was reluctant to have those belongings, Quanzhou wanted to be rebuilt, and he still needed this money.
At this time, Zhang Yan stepped forward, and an upright person leaned on Lu Peng's ear and bit his ear: "Although Zhao Wan surrendered, what he got was all the people's fat and people's ointment, and all the flesh and blood of the people of Quanzhou, how could he let him go so easily?" ”
Lu Peng turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, looking at his face that was close to distorting
Zhang Yan hated Zhao Wan with itchy teeth, thinking that he would not have his good life outside Qingzhou City, and the gold, silver and jewelry that he had worked so hard to hide, but he watched Lu Peng take it, and he didn't say thank you, this Zhao Wan, you definitely have to die, this is jealousy.
"What else if not?" Lu Peng said with a depressed face.
"Zhao Wan, helping to abuse, the people of Quanzhou and Qingzhou have committed heinous crimes, if anyone who commits heinous crimes against the people, and finally presides over justice, as soon as the king who presides over justice comes, he will immediately surrender and be forgiven, and he can take the property he looted back to his hometown to enjoy, then, how can the unjust souls of the people in the sky be willing?" Zhang Yan gritted her teeth in defense.
Lu Peng looked at the sky, and there were several goshawks hovering in the sky, looking at the unresolved souls of the people who seemed to be wronged.
"However, if we confiscate the looted property, it seems that we have made some dirty moves." While saying, on the other hand, look at the current Tian Feng who supervises the imperial history.
"It is only natural to take back the flesh and blood of the people who have been plundered and use them on the people, which is more worthy of your conscience." Tian Feng told Lu Peng sternly.
"If I do this, will I be worthy of my conscience?"
Zhang Yan and Tian Feng nodded firmly: "Yes, if you do this, you will be worthy of those people who died unjustly and worthy of your conscience." ”
"Really?"
"Really."
"It's a matter of getting rich." Lu Peng sighed, and then said firmly: "Since I want to be worthy of my conscience, then, it is so decided, Zhang Yan, you took a thousand brothers to rob Zhao Wan's property halfway, so that I can return it to those wronged people, so that I can benefit the people." ”
Then Lu Peng went home and waited to count the money.
