At this time, Zhang Meng has long lost his previous momentum, in the face of death, he threw all his dignity out of the clouds, and his only direction now is to survive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So after seeing Liu He, Zhang Meng immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said bitterly: "General, they are all villains who are confused for a while, and they have fallen into the hands of Han Sui, an old thief, please ignore the past suspicions, spare the villain this time, the villain must change his mind, be a new man, and swear to serve the general!" ”

saw Liu He sneering: "Zhang Meng, you can hide this trick from others, but you can't hide it from me, so this is the end of your pretentious performance." I know that you were tyrannical and unscrupulous in the past, and the people had no less hard life under your hands, although there was a shortage of people under my command, there was no shortage of people like you who were neither capable nor quality, come and drag me down, behead the public! ”

"Huh? Big, general, spare your life, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged......" Zhang Meng howled loudly and said: "All this is instigated by the horse, it has nothing to do with the villain, the villain is also forced to be helpless, what evil things did he do, the villain is actually a victim......

Because Liu He's disposal of Zhang Meng was near the city gate, there were some people here who were more bold and wanted to escape by chaos, and when they heard Zhang Meng's shout, an old man suddenly came to the front and said sadly: "Forced to be helpless? Zhang Meng, do you also have the face to say such things? A few days ago, you robbed my niece and humiliated her to death, which is also the instigation of horse play? Is it also forced to be helpless? You are playing with that horse and running rampant in the villages, robbing the people's daughters today, and leviing taxes tomorrow, do you really think that the people of the whole city are blind? ”

Then I saw the surrounding people shouting excitedly: "Zhang Meng has been arrested, big guy, let's see the general judge Zhang Meng." ”

After a while, dozens of people gathered at the city gate, and then there were more and more people, and more than a thousand people gathered at the small city gate, and behind these people, there was a long queue, and the people climbed to the roof, the tree, stretched their necks, and watched the scene of Liu He's trial of Zhang Meng.

There are countless people who knelt on the ground, crying loudly and shouting that the sky has eyes, and the wicked have finally received evil retribution, and countless people are worried that Liu He will let Zhang Meng go, and loudly accuse him of his evil deeds, praying that Liu He will not let go of such a wicked person and put him to death, so as to make the people angry.

Seeing this scene, Liu He stood up and shouted at Zhang Meng: "Do you see it now?" Is this what you call a grievance? If you are wronged, how wronged should the people of the city be? Isn't it time for snow to fall in June? A villain like you is a sin to live in this world, if I leave you, how can I be worthy of the will of heaven? The order goes down, drags it down, and imposes the punishment of abandoning the city, and executes it at three o'clock in the afternoon! ”

Then Zhang Meng was dragged to the center of the market, and then his head was cut off with a knife under the onlookers of the people, and the onlookers all rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Meng's body, and some even couldn't help but bite it directly, but in an instant, a corpse was torn and bitten and robbed.

After the execution of Zhang Meng, Liu He announced the appointment of Jia Xu's brother Jia Cai as Wuwei Taishou, although Jia Cai was born in a big family, but he has always been very benevolent to the people, and has always had prestige among the people, but because of Jia Xu's reasons, he has not been able to be reused, and he is idle at home, and now Liu He appointed him as Wuwei Taishou, and the people immediately cheered.

And Jia Cai did not live up to Liu He's expectations after taking office, implemented a series of policies of light and meager endowments, attached importance to agricultural production, and restored the originally somewhat dilapidated Wuwei.

Of course, the current Wuwei is not the original complete Wuwei County, but eleven counties west of the river, and as for the easternmost Zuli County, it is the garrison of the coalition army under Han Sui.

The news of Liu He's seizure of Wuwei spread far and wide, and the magistrates of the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the west heard the news, and thought that they were outnumbered and could not fight against them, and they had heard that Liu He was a man of leniency, so they went to Wuwei in person and asked Liu He to surrender.

Liu He treated all these people who came to surrender well, so that the three county Taishou still held the original official position, and at the same time decided to set up a Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate, with Pei Qian as the Hexi Metropolitan Protector, the same as the general of Anxi, supervising the military of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang four counties, envoys, and Deng Zhi as the long history, Fang Yue as Sima.

In addition, in order to allow the newly established Hexi Protectorate to have enough military strength, Liu He divided 5,000 elites from the army and handed them over to Pei Qian.

It's not that Liu He doesn't want to hand over more people to Pei Qian, it's mainly because Hexi is barren and can't support so many sergeants, even Tuntian. Hexi's strength needs to develop slowly, but fortunately, after Han Sui's defeat and retreat, there are no too strong enemies in the four counties of Hexi now, and these five thousand soldiers are enough to deal with the situation.

"Lord, in fact, in the early stage of expansion, we couldn't get benefits from here, but we had to take a lot of manpower and material resources, such a thing looks at the world, maybe only the lord will do this, right?"

In Liu He's account, Lu Su said with a smile on his face, saying to Liu He, but his heart was full of respect, with his businessman's eyes, it can be seen that although Liu He seems to suffer a little in the short term, but once the Silk Road is rebuilt, it will be the foundation for the Han Dynasty to reappear prosperous, in this sense, Liu He's plot of the four counties of Hexi is much more important than capturing Han Sui's old nest Jincheng.

Guo Jia and Xun You also nodded, as one of the most intelligent people in the world, they naturally knew Liu He's profound intention to do this, and believed that this was like the Shang Ying Reform Law back then, laying the strongest foundation for dominating the world!

At this time, after hearing the news that Liu He had occupied the four counties of Hexi, Han Sui was furious and scolded: "Damn Liu He, damn guy, I really didn't expect him to sneak attack my Wuwei, and also take the other three counties of Hexi in one fell swoop!" ”

At this time, he saw Cheng Gongying come forward and said slowly: "Lord, don't be angry first, in fact, Liu He abandoned us and rushed thousands of miles to attack the four counties of Hexi, which is really a taboo for soldiers, but we can take the opportunity to attack Anding, and then take advantage of Liu He's main army to directly attack Chang'an when he has not returned. ”

When Han Sui heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Gongying, you are right, haha, Liu He, this thief, was greedy for small profits, but in the end he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, and he deserved it!" Pass my order, the army will set off tomorrow, go all out to attack Anding, I want to capture the traitor Yang Qiu alive, and divide his five horses into corpses to vent my hatred! ”
