Chapter 12: Du Yuan's Death
Early the next morning, Liu He led his army into Yangzhai City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, it is said that it is a large army, and there are only about 800 people under Liu He's command who can really fight, and all of them are not complete in weapons and armor, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a regular army, but fortunately, Liu He, under the banner of the Son of Heaven, claimed to have been ordered to come to Yingchuan Taishou, and he was really not blocked.
However, no one from the local gentry and celebrities came to greet them, and adopted an attitude of non-confrontation and non-cooperation.
Liu He didn't pay attention to these Liu He, after all, he was new to the city, and it was normal for the other party to distrust him, but he believed that as his strength continued to improve, and then he strengthened the restraint on his soldiers and won the hearts of the people, it would definitely attract the attention of those local celebrities.
But Liu He didn't expect that his plan was almost ruined.
The person who sabotaged Liu He's plan was naturally the restless Du Yuan.
Du Yuan was quite honest on the day after he came to Yangzhai, after all, on this day, Liu He, who was the Taishou of the county, wanted to rectify the order and appoint officials at the same time, as a veteran who defected to Liu He from the beginning, how could he also strive for a little status in the county guard's mansion, but if he didn't go, how could the new Taishou think of him?
In fact, there were seventeen counties in Yingchuan County at that time, but Kunyang, Wuyang, Dingling, Yanxian and other places in the east were occupied by Yuan Shu, and Yanling, Changshe, Xu County and other places in the north belonged to Cao Cao's forces.
This also led to the fact that there were no available talents around Liu He, so Du Yuan felt that he still had a great chance of becoming an official.
In fact, Liu He did give Du Yuan an official of Bing Cao, which was an adjutant in charge of military security, and his power was only under Shi Guojia, the chief who assisted Liu He in charge of the administrative affairs of the county, Zhou Cang, the commander in charge of the military affairs of the county, and Liao Hua, the superintendent of posts and posts supervised by the officials, and even Pei Yuanshao was only a thief Cao in charge, and his position was only equivalent to him.
After Du Yuan received Liu He's reward, his loyalty did rise to 50, which made Liu He feel that now is the time to employ people, and this Du Yuan may be able to help him support his stall.
However, the next day, Du Yuan was completely revealed, that day he was the head of the soldiers, and he was patrolling the street with his soldiers, and suddenly saw a young and beautiful young woman, and his heart immediately rippled, and he stepped forward, accosted the young woman a few words, and then asked the other party if he was willing to marry him.
The young woman was already very disgusted with Du Yuan, but because of his affection as an officer and soldier, she only responded a few words out of politeness, but she didn't expect the other party to be so excessive and make such an unreasonable request.
The young woman immediately said: "This military master, what I said is a bit too much, the slave family has a husband, how can he marry someone else?" As an official of the imperial court, the military master should take care of the people as the foundation, and hope that the general will do it himself. ”
Du Yuan was furious, and said with a cruel smile: "This official gave you face, I didn't expect you, this little lady, to be so bold and open your mouth to slander this official, since this is the case, if you don't give you a lesson, will you slander us next time?" Pass my order, tie up this woman, take her back to the house, hehe, I will interrogate her personally. ”
"No." Most of the soldiers brought by Du Yuan were his confidants, and their gangsterism had not changed, so after listening to the order, he immediately stepped forward, and grabbed the young woman without saying anything, and then he was going to take him to Du Yuan's mansion.
At this time, a soldier beside Du Yuan suddenly stood up and said softly to Du Yuan: "Wait, General Du, Taishou made a clear rule before, you are not allowed to rob people's girls, you are violating the military order by doing this, once you are held accountable, it will ......."
"Bastard!" Du Yuan stretched out his hand and slapped the soldier, and then said forcefully: "Who said that I robbed the people's daughters? I met Diao Min, and you remember to Lao Tzu, even if Lao Tzu robs the people's daughters? Lao Tzu has made great contributions to Taishou, can he really kill me because of a pariah? As for the one in charge of military law, it is Lao Tzu's good brother Liao Hua, do you think that with our original relationship, Liao Hua will be held accountable to me? Without further ado, escort this woman back. ”
"No." Several soldiers agreed, and immediately escorted the young woman to Du Yuan's mansion.
Soon the young woman's husband Wang San rushed to hear the news, and immediately went to Du Yuan's mansion and pleaded with Du Yuan, hoping that Du Yuan could release his daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect Du Yuan not only to disobey, but also ordered someone to tie up Wang San and insult his daughter-in-law in front of Wang San, and finally Wang San's daughter-in-law was humiliated and committed suicide, Wang San and Du Yuan worked hard and were also killed by Du Yuan.
In fact, there were people around Du Yuan who were not his henchmen, and he was shocked after seeing this scene, and hurriedly ran to report to Liao Hua.
Liao Hua was furious when he heard the news, on the one hand, he reported the matter to Liu He, and on the other hand, he personally led the army to Du Yuan's mansion, captured Du Yuansheng, and escorted him to Liu He's Taishou Mansion.
Liu He was in a state of anxiety about An Min's affairs at that time, when he suddenly heard that such a thing had happened under his rule, he was immediately furious, and ordered all the officers and soldiers involved to abandon the city, and posted a notice, and three days later the public execution was carried out in the city center.
The so-called abandonment of the market, in the words of later generations, is to pull to the mouth of the vegetable market and cut it with a knife, such a punishment can not only deter the latecomers, but also allow the people to see their fair and selfless side, which can be said to be the most suitable punishment for Liu and Liwei Shude.
And Du Yuanwu didn't believe that Liu He would kill him, until he was pushed to the city center, and when he looked at the executioner holding a ghost-headed knife with an expressionless face, he finally woke up like a dream, and said loudly to Liu He: "Childe, please spare the last general, the last general will never dare again, the last general will definitely go to the soup for you in the future, and he will not hesitate." ”
"Hmph, if you knew today, why bother in the first place? Du Yuan, I thought that you had a meritorious refuge, although your strength was poor, and you were not very loyal to me, but I had already turned a blind eye, and finally gave you a position as the head of the soldier, but you dared to disobey military discipline, bully men and women, and bully the people, a scumbag like you, how can I allow you to live in the world? ”
Liu He was expressionless and said in a deep voice.
Du Yuan did not repent, and still said: "I am the general under your command, when I first surrendered to you, I also brought hundreds of brothers, I even gave you the goods that I have treasured for many years, I have made such a great contribution, did you want my life for those untouchables?" Or do you unload the mill and kill the donkey, and when you see that I am useless, you will kill me? ”
saw Liu He coldly shouted: "Shut up!" You scumbag, you actually said that the people under my command are pariahs, don't forget, you were the same identity a few years ago, Du Yuan, what did you do back then? Have you forgotten it all now? But you have just cleared your name as a thief, and you have only been an officer and soldier for a few days, and you have been so desperate to oppress and humiliate the people, this kind of practice is really unbearable, hum, as for what you said about unloading the mill and killing the donkey, I don't want to explain it at all now, because history will prove it to everyone in the world. The only thing I regret now is that I still used you to be the chief of this soldier even though I knew that you were unavailable, and as a result, I lost two good people under my rule, and I solemnly promise here that I will bury the two unjustly deceased, and support their old people and children until the old man dies and the child reaches ......adulthood."
In the end, Liu He's words were filled with deep pain and guilt, and then he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I, Liu He, hereby swear that in the future, military and political officials would rather be lacking than excessive, if there are any more officers and soldiers who harm the people, no matter what their origins or status, they will all be killed without mercy, where are the prison officials?" Execute! ”
"No!" As the voice of the prison officer Liao Hua sounded, only the sound of puff and puff was heard, Du Yuan and more than a dozen soldiers who participated in the robbery and murder all fell to the ground, and the audience was silent, and then there was the cheers of the onlookers.
