Before noon, the officials of the fourteen counties of Weizhou, large and small, including the assassin history and long history of Weizhou, were all there, and everyone brought Wang Hanxin rich labor and army materials. Wang Hanxin was satisfied with the opening of the meeting.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Hanxin suddenly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, this general has been edicted to beg the thieves this time, and thanks to the emperor's heavenly might, he was able to surround the main force of the thief army in this Niubei Mountain. It's just that the lower officials have some doubts, and I ask you to give me advice. ”

Everyone said: "The king is disobedient and humble, but my lord has asked, do we dare to tell me directly?" ”

Wang Hanxin smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, General Ben also learned about this situation when he arrived at the boundary of Weizhou. Now Weizhou is sparsely populated, and almost no one is still farming in the fields, and all of them follow the action of the thief army. And now the main force of the thief army has been surrounded by this general, and it will only take another month to starve to death, but in this way, there will be no more young strong laborers on the boundary of Weizhou, and what can the remaining group of old and weak women and children do? In that case, there will be no one to do the farming work in Weizhou, and the land will become more and more barren. In the long run, this is tantamount to raising the soup to stop the boiling and putting out the fire. ”

Hearing this, the assassin of Weizhou replied: "Lord Wang doesn't know anything, and the lower officials and others also know the stakes involved, but if these people are not removed, Weizhou will never have peace." The so-called lesser of two evils, a strong man breaks his wrist, and he has to do it as a last resort. ”

Wang Hanxin looked embarrassed and said: "It's just that before the general left this time, the emperor had something to say to the general, saying that the people of Weizhou would rebel, which shows that the people's will have lost, so the rebellion is only a symptom rather than a root cause. There will be no peace in Weizhou. Therefore, General Ben has been considering what is the best way to save the hearts of the people and calm the chaos, so that this Weizhou can return to peace. ”

Weizhou Assassin's face changed when he heard this, because Wang Hanxin's words were obviously saying that it was because of the incompetence of the Weizhou magistrates that led to this popular uprising. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xia Guan is only a shallow learner, and he can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, I wonder if Lord Wang has a good plan?" ”

Wang Hanxin smiled and said, "General Ben thinks about it. I really came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. It is only with the help of all of you that we can accomplish this, so I invite you to come here to discuss this matter. ”

Weizhou Thorn Shi's eyes lit up, and he said, "My lord, since you have a good plan in mind, why don't you teach me and wait?" If we have the ability, we will definitely help. ”

Wang Hanxin waved his hand and said: "My lord's words, this matter is not difficult at all, just ask you to borrow something." ”

"Dare to ask Lord Wang, what is it?"

"It's your head! Come on, tie me up! Wang Hanxin suddenly made a face as he spoke. The slap shouted.

This sound was like thunder, and before the officials could react, they were pressed to the ground and tied up by the soldiers who rushed into the tent with hulala.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! What do you mean?! The officials shouted together.

Wang Hanxin stepped on the table with one foot, pointed at them and scolded: "What do you mean by you birdmen still have the face to ask me?!" You withheld the emperor's money and grain for disaster relief to fill your own pockets, lent food and plundered the people, and did not think about disaster relief to cause a plague epidemic and force the people to be displaced. Uprooted from home, unable to live! They also collude with each other to form parties. The private murder of officials sent by the imperial court to investigate caused the people of Weizhou to have no choice but to rise up. Any one of these crimes is enough for you dogs to die a hundred times, and you dare to ask what Lao Tzu means? So many people have been killed by you, and you can't pay a thousand lives for each person, do you still think you can live? Today, I want to use your heads to apologize to these thousands of people, and win back the hearts of the emperor again! ”

Weizhou Assassin Shi shouted: "Wang Hanxin! How dare you kill the court officials without permission! You know who I am! ”

When Wang Hanxin heard this, he smashed the wine jug on the table into the face of Weizhou Thorn Shi. Immediately, his face was smashed and blood burst out. Wang Hanxin scolded angrily: "Let your mother's fart!" Talk to Lao Tzu! You don't want to inquire about who Lao Tzu is! Even the King of Goryeo's family chopped it all up for him! You are a pig and a dog, and if you don't cut your belly and dig out your heart, you will be lucky! I don't care who you are backstage! Even your emperor's own father, Lao Tzu, chopped you up! ”

Zhou Siyi felt that Wang Hanxin's words had not passed through his brain at all, wasn't the emperor's father the first emperor? He even dared to talk nonsense about the emperor, it seems that this notorious guy is really not bold. But there is an indescribable joy in my heart.

At this time, Wang Hanxin waved his hand and said, "Come on, escort this group of dog officials to the top of the mountain!" ”

The sergeants said yes and escorted the officers out. At this time, Wang Hanxin turned around and said to Zhou Siyi and the Chen brothers: "Three." Please come with me, so that I can be a witness to the rebels. ”

"Lord Wang's words are serious, we should follow you." Zhou Siyi hugged his fists.

Chen Shihua said happily: "Lord Wang, you are really good!" It's a good job! ”

Chen Shijie also said: "Lord Wang can avenge the people like this, it is really immeasurable!" If Weizhou had you come earlier, why did my brothers do so much? ”

As he spoke, he had come to the top of the mountain, and the soldiers had already shouted loudly to call out the rebels in the valley.

Wang Hanxin stood on the top of the mountain and said loudly: "Fellow rebels of Weizhou! I know that you are all ordinary people who do your duty, if you can survive, who is willing to risk death to rebel? They were all harmed by this gang of dog officials who did all kinds of evil and hurt the heavens and reason! General Ben has come to bring you a message on the orders of the emperor. The emperor said he was wrong! He failed all the folks, fathers, and elders, and failed to get rid of these dog officials in time to relieve your suffering! Now General Ben has arrested all these dog officials who have plagued you for many years, and he will vent his anger on you! Come on, cut them all down for me! ”

Wang Hanxin gave an order, and amid the cries of many officials, dozens of human heads left their bodies and rolled down the mountain into the valley. Seeing this, the rebels in the valley immediately thundered with joy, and the resentment and resentment of the past two years were suddenly vented, how could they be overjoyed?

Wang Hanxin waited for the rebels under the mountain to calm down a little before continuing: "Fellow villagers, all the officials in Weizhou have been slaughtered by me, and now this general is the person with the highest rank in Weizhou!" Before I came, I asked the emperor for a holy decree, and I can arbitrarily decide on the spot, so now Weizhou is under my control! From today onwards, all government granaries will be opened, enough food and seeds will be distributed to every household for one year, and the Weizhou area will be exempt from taxes for five years! If you have land in your family, go back to farming, and if you have relatives who have fled abroad, you will send a letter to them to come back and work well in farming. ”

"Lord Qingtian!" I don't know who shouted this sentence first, and then more than 10,000 rebels followed suit, and the voice of the Qingtian Lord resounded in the sky.

"I'm not the Lord of the Blue Sky, I'm here for the emperor to call the shots for you! If you want to thank the emperor, thank the emperor! Wang Hanxin shouted loudly, but unfortunately the sound of the rebels was too loud, and no matter how loud it was, it could not overshadow the thunderous cheers.

Wang Hanxin saw that his efforts were fruitless, so he had to sigh, turned to Zhou Siyi and the Chen brothers, and said, "Three, now I want you to surrender to the imperial court again, are you willing?" ”

Zhou Siyi immediately knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Lord Wang saved the people from hanging upside down, even if we are escorted back to the capital and cut with a thousand knives, we will die without regrets!" ”

The Chen brothers also knelt on the ground and said, "We are all willing to surrender!" ”

Wang Hanxin sent troops for a month and five days, and the Weizhou rebellion was put down. (To be continued.) )
