Hearing that the black man persuaded himself to write to the court again to plead, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at the big man, and said: "Brother Shi doesn't know, now the Jin State is getting more and more bandits, occupying the hills, resisting donations and taxes, disobeying the control of the court, and harassing the luck of the court from time to time, Your Majesty is furious, and is planning to vigorously suppress the bandits, if it weren't for the war between the Tang and Shu countries this time, we may still be suppressing bandits everywhere now, and now the people who have caught Hutou Mountain are just killing chickens and monkeys, warning those who are ready to move, lawless bandits in the world, How can they easily forgive these people this time, and it is in vain for us to go to the book. ”

"So what should I do, kill them all?" When the black man surnamed Shi heard that his suggestion was useless, he couldn't help but glance at the worried Liu Chengqian, and then asked urgently.

"Brother Hongzhao, don't worry, there must be a road before the water reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally ......go straight to the bridge" A middle-aged general with a thin face, a slightly pointed chin, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth swept the fine hair under his chin and smiled.

"Su Yu, you are not in a hurry, what is the matter, you will slowly drop the bookbag first, there is a bird to use, what is the matter, don't hide it, say it crisply, don't let everyone be in a hurry." The big black man named Shi Hongzhao was a quick temper, and after listening to the words of the middle-aged general with a black mole, he was disgusted, and couldn't help interrupting him with some dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged general named Su Yu was rudely interrupted by Shi Hongzhao, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said with a forced smile: "The younger brother thinks that the people of Hutou Mountain have many talents that can be created, especially many people, who used to be officers and soldiers, and they are skilled in equestrianism, it would be a pity to kill them, and the generals in the DPRK and China have secretly raised private troops, so it is better for us to ......" Speaking of this, Su Yu lowered his voice and looked around the yafang.

"How about it?" Shi Hongzhao asked rudely, his voice shook the yafang, and then he saw that the people in the yafang were all looking at him with strange eyes, so he immediately came to his senses, and said: "What are you afraid of, here is all our own brother, the one surnamed Dou, who went to inspect the barracks." ”

Su Yu saw Liu Zhiyuan sitting on the upper seat, listened to Shi Hongzhao's words, nodded to himself slightly, and continued: "Let's choose some strong ones from among these people, mix them into our horse army, kill all the prisoners in Songzhou, and replace the people in Hutou Mountain, what do you think?" ”

"Isn't it good to kill innocents indiscriminately like this?" Guo Wei, who was sitting on the side, said, "Besides, there are hundreds of people in Hutou Mountain, and the number of people is not enough, it is too much." ”

"Lao Guo, these are all scum, most of them are untouchable refugees, they should have died a long time ago, don't hesitate, as for the number is not enough, I heard that there are still many homeless refugees in Songzhou, robbing and fighting everywhere, causing trouble, making several county orders come to the Jiedu Embassy every day to complain to Lao Tzu, making Lao Tzu one head and two big, it is better for us to kill a few untouchables unknowingly, kill two birds with one stone, and solve the urgent needs of the counties, anyway, these refugees are not starving to death, but also going up to the mountains to be bandits......" A middle-aged general with a somewhat fat face and small eyes squinted slightly, and took Guo Wei's words and said.

"Nonsense." Guo Wei glared, his anger rushed to the crown, and he shouted loudly, "Ye Renlu, is your human heart long, if you punish your heart like this, you can also say it, aren't you afraid of being punished by God." Then he saluted Liu Zhiyuan and said: "Dashuai, these refugees are miserable enough, very pitiful, lack of food and clothing, no fixed place, they are forced to survive, and their behavior is inevitably a little extreme, but it is also excusable, and I hope that Dashuai will have mercy and let them go." ”

"Daddy, the kid has been a refugee before, he has suffered like this, knowing their situation, let's just not lend a hand, and there is such an idea of exterminating humanity and falling into the well, it is simply mad and inhumane." When Liu Chengqian heard Ye Renlu's cruel words, he was also very angry, very dissatisfied with him, and couldn't help but stand up and say.

was ruthlessly opposed and whipped by Guo Wei and Liu Chengqian, and Ye Renlu's face couldn't help but turn red and white, and his expression was very embarrassed and embarrassed. Liu Zhiyuan sat on the top, and saw Ye Renlu's expression clearly, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Ye's statement is a little ruthless, although it is not advisable, but he also said a way to solve the problem, if you have any other ways, please speak freely." ”

"Dashuai, why don't we kill a few more cottages tomorrow, and then there will be enough people." Su Yu gently twisted the fine hair under his chin and suggested.

"Lao Su's method is excellent, handsome, let me go out tomorrow to fight the tooth sacrifice, I haven't moved for a few days, and my hands are a little itchy." Shi Hongzhao grinned and praised Su Yu's suggestion to suppress bandits.

Because everyone had no better way, and the date of the execution was imminent, Liu Zhiyuan decided to adopt Su Yu's suggestion, and from tomorrow, send troops to suppress bandits in various counties in Songzhou, and use these bandits to fill the number of Hutou Mountain.

The next day, Liu Zhiyuan sent Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, Ye Renlu and other generals to lead his horse teams to suppress bandits in Songzhou, raising dust and dust in the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

But in the evening, when the horses returned to the team, they only brought back a few dozen heads, which was considered to be fruitless. It turned out that the bandits in the counties of Songzhou, when they heard that the famous Hutou Mountain were planted in Liu Zhiyuan's hands, life and death were uncertain, and they were all like frightened birds, and when they heard that Liu Zhiyuan's army came to suppress the bandits, they all fled into the deep mountains and dense forests, never looking at each other, Shi Hongzhao and others were also very helpless, and they couldn't help but return to Songzhou in frustration.

There is no one to die on his behalf, Liu Chengqian is very anxious, worried that the brothers of Hutou Mountain will be weak and will not be able to escape death.

Liu Zhiyuan dragged out his sentence for two days, and on the third day, it was the deadline for execution, Liu Chengqian sat in the lobby of the Jiedu Embassy early in the morning, thinking hard about good strategies, hoping to be in danger and wise, but in the end he had no clue, the old method of robbing the prison did not work, impostor, there were too many people, hundreds of people, saved this, could not save that, it was difficult to decide.

Just when Liu Chengqian was worried, Zhang Dongping suddenly appeared at the door of the lobby and walked quickly towards Liu Chengqian. Seeing Zhang Dongping, Liu Gouwa was inevitably a little nervous, afraid that he would bring the news of the immediate execution. But Zhang Dongping came to Liu Chengqian's face, but whispered in a low voice: "Son's mind is relaxed, it's done, and the person who replaced Hutou Mountain has been found, but I just ask Childe not to make a noise, so as not to show his feet." ”

Liu Chengqian was shocked when he heard this, and the first thing that came to mind was those refugees in Songzhou, could it be that when Liu Zhiyuan had nothing to do, he really used them as substitutes for the dead? I can't help but ask, "Who are they?" It can't be those refugees from Songzhou, right? ”

"It's not a refugee, it's the Tang Army in a prisoner of war camp, anyway, there are a few hundred people who can't be found, and even if they do, let's say that they tried to escape, resisted and were killed, and no one doesn't believe it." Zhang Dongping replied softly again.
