Chapter 163: Persuasion
Liu Zhiyuan was too confident, thinking that one move to set fire to the mountain would scare the people of Hutou Mountain, and to deal with these mountain bandits, it would be like a hand, effortlessly, they had no way out except to surrender, and the conditions they said were also domineering.

Liu Gouwa knew that the ancient imperial court dealt with the major crime of rebellion, which was severely punished and unrelenting, and the status of himself and others was low, and it was even more impossible to avoid crime and light punishment, and now Huang Yun said that the court was only a symbolic punishment, which was obviously deceiving himself and others, and deceived himself and others into going down the mountain.
Liu Gouwa also knew that Hutoushan was originally a stubborn bandit in the eyes of the imperial court, and now he was accused of colluding with Tang and Shu and plotting to rebel, and he had become a thorn in the side of the Jin State. Therefore, Liu Gouwa did not plan to surrender to the imperial court, and when she came to this troubled world, she could not be rich and noble, and she would be a random bandit, but she would be free.
After letting Huang Yun and Deputy Fang join the army drive down the mountain, Liu Gouwa knew that Liu Zhiyuan had said the plan to burn the mountain in advance, and he would definitely not set fire to the mountain again, but he still asked people to cut down all the trees near the cottage, and also ordered some people to cut down some isolation zones on the mountain in case of accidents.
Hearing that the people of Hutou Mountain refused to surrender, Liu Zhiyuan immediately ordered to attack the mountain, and there were more and more sergeants gathered under the mountain. Obviously, Liu Zhiyuan is determined to pull out the cancer of Hutou Mountain in his rear first, and then march south.
The soldiers under the command of Liu Zhiyuan fought bravely and were not afraid of death, attacking the mountain again and again, one after another, and there was a great tendency to not be able to attack Hutou Mountain and not give up, which was very different from the army of Hao Dongqing and Shi Weiyi.
Although Hutou Mountain was violently attacked by the officers and troops under the mountain, and there were many crises and dangers, the people of Hutou Mountain, after many days of military training, were no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, no longer scattered and unprepared, and panicked in battle, but relied on the steepness of the mountain pass, threw stones and rolling wood, and killed many officers and soldiers who attacked the mountain.
The official army under the mountain attacked several times, still like Hao Dongqing Shi Weiyi's army, could not attack Hutou Mountain, and killed many soldiers.
For several days in a row, the officers and soldiers under the mountain attacked the mountain, each time more and more fiercely, but the people of Hutou Mountain, relying on the danger of the mountain, repelled the officers and troops under the mountain again and again, which made the officers and troops under the mountain a little discouraged.
Tasting the taste of failure, Liu Zhiyuan sent people up the mountain to persuade him to surrender, this time the conditions were raised a lot, promising to invite the imperial court, not to blame the people of Hutou Mountain, and also promised to make some official wishes, so that some people in Hutou Mountain were very moved.
In ancient times, it was very difficult for people to cross identities, and being an official was a dream that everyone couldn't look forward to, and they were eager to do it, not like the TV dramas boasted in later generations, some high-ranking people would rather live far away from the rivers and lakes than be officials. That is when they are excluded, or the officialdom is incompetent, and they are discouraged and lazy, so they will abandon the official and run away, and complain.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the people who have not known what officials are in Hutoushan all their lives, now listen to Liu Zhiyuan's official wish, can clear their identities and be a new person, they are very moved, and they all look at themselves and look forward to their choices, especially the four-headed person Deng Ergou, it can be said that he looked at himself with bright eyes, hoping that he would agree immediately.
They are simple-minded, where do they know the truth that officialdom is like a battlefield, they are shackled by thieves and anti-thieves, and they can't get rid of it for a lifetime, even if Liu Zhiyuan's promise is true, and they become officials as they wish, they have no backers and no foundation, and sooner or later they will be cleaned up, they come from later generations and have seen many bloody lessons, Song Jiang in "Water Margin" is an example, loyal and sincere are used by others, and they are all dead.
So, Liu Gouwa said to the envoy with a smile: "This lord, please go back and tell your boss, we are used to traveling in the mountains and rivers, and we are not comfortable being an official, so we have thanked him for his kindness." ”
Hearing that Liu Gouwa refused to surrender again, the envoy was stunned for a while, and then said euphemistically: "Lord Liu Zhai, our boss can't rub sand in his eyes, the southern expedition is urgent, and he will definitely not allow you to make trouble in the back of Hutou Mountain. ”
When Liu Gouwa heard this, how could she believe his nonsense, since ancient times, she could say whatever she wanted, and when the time came, she would come to a repeated reckoning, and it was not a suicide attempt.
However, in order to get rid of the current predicament, Liu Gouwa still said: "You can rest assured, our Hutou Mountain is not a person who is evil, and does not know the current affairs, just to survive and make a living, so we have to make peace with Tang and Shu and seek some benefits, as long as you don't look for our trouble, we won't have much trouble." ”
Seeing that Liu Gouwa refused to surrender, the envoy had to leave and go down the mountain. After the envoy left, Deng Ergou couldn't help but ask Liu Gouwa: "Big head, why didn't you agree to them just now?" This is a good opportunity for us to be a new person in Hutou Mountain, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
Everyone on the mountain also had Deng Ergou's thoughts, and Liu Gouwa had no choice but to express the concerns in her heart, and everyone pressed down on their restless thoughts.
Deng Ergou still didn't give up and said: "Big heads, their official position is not very big, they won't take our small fish and shrimp anymore, are you too worried?" ”
"It is precisely because you are small fish, shrimp and shrimp that you can't make any waves if you kill them, so you will have no scruples." Liu Gouwa said, Deng Ergou listened, and had to be silent.
Since then, the officers and troops under the mountain no longer attack the mountain, nor do they send people up the mountain to persuade them to surrender, and many sergeants have been withdrawn, leaving only a team of sergeants to guard the various crossings at the foot of the mountain. Liu Gouwa sent someone down the mountain to inquire about the news, only to know that Liu Zhiyuan could not attack Hutou Mountain, and persuaded Liu Gouwa and others not to surrender, the military situation was urgent, so he had to take most of the men and horses to Suzhou first.
Liu Gouwa knew that Liu Zhiyuan just used a delaying tactic, and when he won the battle and freed his hands, he would definitely find a way to deal with himself and others.
Nowadays, what worries about the mountain is always food, and Liu Gouwa wants people to go down the mountain to get some food, but there are five or six hundred fierce officers and soldiers stationed under the mountain, patrolling the mountain every day. These officers and soldiers are all ready, the swords are bright and the armor is bright, blocking everyone's way, if you want to go down the mountain to get food, you must bypass these obstacles, Liu Gouwa can't help but let everyone go to the cottage hall to discuss countermeasures.
