Since ancient times, killing people and setting fires, and being edicted have always been one of the ways to embark on the official career of a rogue or rebellious bandit like Li Zicheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It is also one of the most effective means of official strength to deal with the rebels, from the Two Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, from Qi Jiguang to the present, such examples abound. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Qiyu is willing to let go of the rogue. Being able to turn a scourge into a deferential citizen and save as many as 40,000 or 50,000 lives at the same time is the most proud period for Chen Qiyu, a serious scholar. In Chen Qiyu's view, he has made such great feats and saved so many lives, and his name of "benevolence" and "righteousness" will definitely be left in the history books in the future.

There were tens of thousands of grateful shouts of "change the evil and return to the right" in his ears, and he fantasized about the bright prospect of leaving a name in history, and Chen Qiyu was unconsciously intoxicated. Immersed in the dreams that you weave, you can't extricate yourself. But he underestimated the ambitions of Li Zicheng and others, and even more underestimated the insidious, cunning, and capricious nature of Li Zicheng. Chen Qiyu treats Li Zicheng and others with sincerity, but it does not mean that a despicable villain like Li Zicheng will treat him with the same attitude. So he was destined to be tragic.

No matter what the outcome will be, for now, the rogue has surrendered. Now that the rogues have surrendered, the next step is to divide the spoils, oh no, it's time to distribute the spoils. Chen Qiyu did not make it difficult to break the army in this matter. Not only did he return the dozens of cannons that had been captured by the rogues to Liu Fan, but the share that should be given to the Broken Army was no less than others.

The Liukou is centered on the old camp horse team, and several leaders of the big Liukou have their own horse teams directly under them, and these horse teams add up to no less than 30,000 people. That is, this is 30,000 war horses. Although the horses were somewhat damaged due to the lack of grain and grass, there were no less than 20,000 left.

Although there are many war horses, there are more "wolves" who want to eat meat, for these war horses, generals from all walks of life can be said to have used their means, some secretly bribe, some have entrusted relationships, and even some cry poor to Chen Qiyu in person. Chen Qiyu was also made big by these people, and in the end, in order to block everyone's mouth, Chen Qiyu decided to distribute it according to the size of the credit. Except for the two thousand horses left for the standard camp directly under his governor, the rest were distributed to everyone one by one. Even Liu Fan followed suit and got more than a thousand war horses.

The war horse that Liu Fan had been asking for but couldn't get smashed into his hands without warning, and Liu Fan's impression of Chen Qiyu changed a lot in addition to his surprise, putting aside their respective positions, in Liu Fan's opinion, at least Chen Qiyu is not a person with a small belly.

What Liu Fan didn't know was that if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's persuasion, and Chen Qiyu had been in a good mood recently, these war horses would not have fallen on Liu Fan's head.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, only three days had passed since the rogues walked out of the valley, and in just three days, the officers and soldiers, who had always been slow to move, arranged the way for these surrendered rogues with astonishing efficiency. After collecting the weapons, Chen Qiyu took a team of 100 people and sent a pacification officer to escort these rogues back to their hometowns and "repair the earth" again

The rogues are gone, the crisis is lifted, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life are also eating in this feast, and it is time for the end of the song to disperse. Under Chen Qiyu's order, the officers and soldiers of various departments began to leave the carriage gorge and returned to their stations one after another. At the same time, Liu Fan also received an order to return to Jiaozhou, Shandong.

However, Liu Fan didn't want to go back like this, he still had one more thing to do, as long as this thing was done, Liu Fan could return to Shandong with peace of mind. As a traverser, no one knows the future of Li Zicheng and others better than Liu Fan, and Liu Fan knows that Li Zicheng and others will definitely rebel again. And the time of this rebellion will not make him wait too long.

The current rogues have no horses, no weapons, and are bare-handed, like a tiger without claws. In Liu Fan's opinion, now is the time when Liukou is the most "weak", even weaker than when Liukou is trapped in the valley. How could Liu Fan give up such a good opportunity so easily? Therefore, under the pretext of needing to return to Chenggu to join the remaining army, Liu Fan asked Chen Qiyu for orders to return to Chenggu, but secretly followed behind the Liukou team, waiting for the moment when the Liukou rebelled again, and gave him a fatal blow.

For a few days, Liu Fan sent spies to pay close attention to the route of the Liukou, and the army of the Breakers always followed the Liukou less than twenty miles away from the Liukou by day and night. To Liu Fan's helplessness, Liukou didn't make a move for some reason, and quietly traveled westward under the custody of the official army, starting from Xing'an through Hanyin, Xiquan, Chenggu and Hanzhong without the slightest change.

After arriving at Chenggu, Liu Fan lost the reason to continue to follow, so he had no choice but to temporarily stop, preparing to repair the army, replenish the ordnance and gunpowder, and integrate the remaining army in order to catch up with the wandering rogues again. Liu Fan's idea is good, but the world is unpredictable, when Liu Fan just arrived in Chenggu, he was dragged by a person, so that he almost lost the best opportunity to hit the Liukou hard.

It turned out that after Lian Guoshi knew that Liu Fan had returned to Chenggu, he felt that this was a good opportunity to seize Chenggu. So he invited Liu Fan to Hanzhong City to discuss with Liu Fan on the future arrangements for the city consolidation. The purpose of practicing state affairs is obviously to grasp the fat of Chenggu in his hands.

Liu Fan also knew that he was unwilling to stay in Chenggu all the time, and Liu Fan did not dare to underestimate the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Chenggu.

After a few days of bargaining, Liu Fan and Lian Guoshi finally reached an agreement. Liu Fan handed over the management of Chenggu to Lian Guoshi free of charge, on the condition that all the policies of Chenggu remain unchanged now, and that he must not deliberately embarrass the people of Chenggu in the future. At the same time, in order to appease the original landlords and gentry, the people of Chenggu will gradually acquire the ownership of the land by redemption within five years, which is undoubtedly a compromise by Liu Fan.

In order to ensure that the people of Chenggu could survive safely after he left, Liu Fan also left some recruits recruited from the displaced people in Chenggu. And with these soldiers as the backbone, a large militia was formed. This militia team is the last force left by Liu Fan to Chenggu, and with this not weak military force and the care of practicing state affairs, I believe that the people of Chenggu will still be able to protect themselves in the next three or two years. As for the future, it is not up to Liu Fan to control, whether or not they can continue to survive in this troubled era depends on the creation of these people themselves! (To be continued.) )
