The guards of the left guard of the governor's palace rang gongs in the streets, and the soldiers on patrol shouted:

"The fathers and elders of the people of Anqing, the Tartar court took off the handsome army and slaughtered Huainan, the people cried hunger and cold, Yu Que helped the enemy to abuse, the enemy used grain and grass, Hao Ren, the governor of the Qingfeng Army, was ordered to cut off the enemy's grain road, and did not commit any crime against the people.

Bang –

"Under the rule of Hao Dudu, regardless of the Han people, the Semu people, the Mongolian people, and the Hui people, all of them are flat, and the day of the Han people turning over has come, and all the residents in the city can go to the treasury to receive two stones of grain......

Two stones of grain, equivalent to the unit of measurement of later generations, is equivalent to two hundred and forty catties, enough for a family of three, for about half a year, such a bribery policy, should always let the people settle down, right?

Clinker, without waiting for the patrolling guards to finish shouting, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere, and with a "whoosh", the soldier was shot down.

The soldiers patrolling the streets of Anqing of the Red Turban Army can only walk with shields, and there are cold arrows flying from time to time, and the sound of "bell" is shot on the shield, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Yu Que poured into the people of Anqing.

In three days, the public order in Anqing did not improve at all, and the remnants of the enemy in the northwest corner of the city, firmly surrounded by artillery, refused to surrender and resisted desperately, and it was useless for Hao Ren to personally persuade him to surrender.

Hao Ren knew that in order to occupy Anqing for a long time and clean up the hearts of the people in Anqing, he couldn't kill more people, and the more people he killed, the greater the people's anger, and the more difficult it was to keep Anqing for a long time.

Chen Youliang and Chizhou, Raozhou soldiers and horses besieged Anqing City on three sides, after the city was broken, the people did not pay, forcing many soldiers and civilians in the city to die, Anqing City, not long in his hands, it was lost again, Hao Ren did not want to follow in the footsteps of Chen Youliang.

I also heard that Li Zongke and Hu Boyan, the marshals of the Mengyuan Volunteer Army, led tens of thousands of troops from Feixi and Tongcheng to counterattack Anqing City, and suffered internal and external troubles.

With such social security as Anqing, there are no conditions for field warfare with the armies of Li Zongke and Hu Boyan, and I am afraid that as soon as the Red Turban Army leaves the city, the people behind will rebel and seize the back road of the Red Turban Army.

If there is a war in Luzhou and Hezhou, Hao Ren's 20,000 troops will be trapped in Anqing City and cannot be rescued.

"Governor, slaughter the city!"

If you can't pacify the security in the city and want to fight the enemy, only by slaughtering the city can you solve the threat inside the city, Yu Tongyuan said.

How is this different from detachment? How else can the governor clean up the hearts of the people in the world and make the heroes of the world surrender? Robben retorted.

Hao Ren had not slept in the face of such a dilemma for three nights, and he softened his temples and said: "Now there are only two ways, the first is to prepare the warship, pull the booty, and return to Hezhou!" ”

"Governor! I can't help it! Robben said.

"Governor! It took a lot of effort for us to finally attract the Yu Que army to help occupy Anqing, if we retreat, when will we be able to fight back? "Yu Tong Haidao.

Hao Ren raised his hand to stop the crowd and said: "The second way is to save Yu Que, persuade him to submit, and let him come forward to comfort the local people!" ”

"This is a good policy, if Yu Que and other imperial generals return to the Red Turban Army, China will inevitably be shaken, but I don't know, how can Yu Que surrender?" Robben touched his bare chin and groaned.

"Robben obeys!" Hao Ren shouted, Robben hurriedly bowed his head and obeyed the order: "Appoint you as the Taishou of Luzhou, please go to Luzhou in the starry night to take over the position of Mr. Shi Nai'an, please Mr. Shi Nai'an and join the army in Shouzhou Yu Dechen, rush to Anqing in the starry night, and the governor of Bendu has other arrangements!" ”

"No!" Luo Ben ordered that after knowing that Hao Ren had thought it through, he wanted to move his troops and rush to Luzhou.

Hao Ren has a red heart, prepare with both hands, Anqing is not easy to get, he can't give up easily, Yu Que is so popular with the people, it is really obedient, Hao Ren can't leave him in Anqing, use Yu Dechen to coerce Yu Que's Yu Wei, and the old Shi Nai'an sits in Anqing, Anqing may be able to hold it firmly in his hands.

Yu Tongyuan is old and steady, as a royal family in the decline of Mengyuan, he was the first to be persuaded to surrender by Hao Ren, but he was splashed with soup by Mr. Yu Que and swept out of the house.

Hao Ren begged Jiang and Xiao An'an to go and talk to the old gentleman, and the couple hugged their heads and cried, but there was no result, but Yu Que's temper seemed to be much calmer, and Hao Ren was helpless, so he had to bite the bill and appear in person.

Yu Que's head was wrapped in gauze, and he was lying on the bed with a snort, seeing Hao Ren enter the door and smiling at each other, followed by a Han family's long bow to the extreme, he couldn't afford it, and he didn't say a word, Yu Que saw that he didn't say anything, and he didn't return the salute, so he twisted his head to the inside of the bed angrily.

Although he and Hao Ren belong to two camps, they really don't have much hatred for Hao Ren, and Yu Que has heard a lot about what Hao Ren has done, and he agrees with it.

The two armies are fighting, and the one who fights is only for their masters, and the fight is just one breath, and now that Yu Que is defeated, Hao Ren still treats each other with courtesy, and treats each other with courtesy, that's it, you are a word, but this Hao Ren was stunned and poked there, without saying a word, in an instant, a quarter of an hour passed.

For a quarter of an hour, although the two did not speak, and neither of them even looked at each other, but this is a profound psychological game, whoever speaks first will be in a disadvantaged position, and the other person can see the stitches and take advantage of the weakness.

Yu Que finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Hao Du's governor is vain, since ancient times, loyal ministers have died, and Yu Que has only one death to his full name!" ”

Hao Ren saw that Yu Que spoke first, and then said such words, he had a good chance of winning, and said in his heart: "This old man is asking for fame, then it will be easy to do!" He straightened up and followed Yu Que's line of thought and said: "Once the adult dies, the name and festival must be saved, but it will suffer the people of the city and harm the country!" ”

"Yu dies to seek fame, what do you have to do with others? Later generations should set up an immortal archway for Yu, and it will be praised through the ages! Yu Que was puzzled.

"Lord Yu is loyal to the people of a city, and now the hundred beliefs and the benefits of the adults have now been broken, and he still uses his flesh and blood to fight against the steel torrent of the Qingfeng Red Turban Army, isn't this the innocent sacrifice of the people of a city? As soon as an adult dies, you need to know, how many people will follow suit, self-immolation, throwing themselves into wells, and committing suicide, if Guozuo kills adults, he will have a notoriety of 'forcing and killing Zhongliang', and many people will be martyred for adults, and Guozuo will not harm the lives of many people? Hao Ren spoke generously and said quite sincerely.

Hao Ren said again: "It's easy to die, stop fighting, don't let more people die in vain, this is the true meaning of 'the big husband should benefit the common people', now the people of Anqing refuse to return, and many of my subordinates persuade me to slaughter the city......"

"Loyal and righteous people, how can they sit down and slaughter the city and make the world shameless!" Yu Que cherished the people in the city, and when he heard that Hao Ren was going to slaughter the city, he said angrily.

"The Mongolian Iron Cavalry, once slaughtered many cities? Let's not talk about Khorezm and Dajin Kingdom, let's just say that the Western Xia Kingdom where Lord Yu was born also had many cities slaughtered, right? In recent years, there have been Meng Yuan Prime Minister Tutuo slaughtered 400,000 soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, Guozuo is to slaughter the people who do not follow the attachment, this is understandable, but the governor of Bendu does not want to commit such a capital crime, please Lord Yu with Mencius's broad feelings of "pan-love for the public", consider the people of this city! ”

Yu Que just wanted to seek fame and honor, but he never thought that after his death, there would be many aftermaths, Hao Ren was sincere, and Hao Ren threatened to slaughter the city, so he couldn't help but think about it carefully.
