Chapter 106: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

"Well said." Liu Zhangzheng lifted his robe and sat on the Taishou chair: "Wuling is already a city under the rule of this official, and the people of Wuling are already the people of this official, come and give orders, if the barbarian army wants money, the official will reward him for his merits and deeds, and if he wants a woman, the official will give them to them tomorrow, and after half an hour, who dares to plunder the people of the city, he will be punished with mutiny, no matter who it is, he will be beheaded immediately." ”

"Yes."

The reported soldier was about to leave, Xiao Furong stepped forward with a cold face: "I'll go with you, whoever dares to rob people and property, I'll cut off his head first." ”

After Xiao Furong left, Liu Zhang turned to Fa Zheng and said, "Continue to talk about the battle situation." ”

Liu Zhang did not condone the barbarian looting, Fa Zheng was slightly relieved, and continued: "Liu Pan is powerful, Huang Zhong has the courage of ten thousand people, we are thousands of miles away, we should avoid its edge, stick to Wuling, and send another army to camp on the mountain peak, each other is the momentum of the horns, Wuling City is strong, and the barbarian army is good at mountain warfare, we must be able to retreat Liu Pan, drag Liu Pan's tens of thousands of troops, Liu Pan can't fight for a long time, Zhang Yi in the rear will inevitably have trouble, we can take the opportunity to pour out the troops, around Youxian, we will be able to cut off Liu Pan's way back, let him annihilate." ”

"Steady is safe, so when will it last?" Liu Zhang said coldly: "I intend to pour troops out, first destroy the reinforcements sent by Liu Pan to Wuling, and then attack Youxian County, and then take the whole county of Changsha." ”

"This ......," Fa Zheng wanted to say and stopped.

"Do you think this official's plan is inappropriate?"

Fa Zheng nodded, thinking in his heart that it was not only inappropriate, it was simply imaginative. "Lord, we only have 8,000 troops, although the 5,000 Wuxi barbarian army is strong alone, but it can't arrange troops, and it is definitely not the opponent of the Jingzhou army, not to mention that Wuling is succumbing to the lord's force, if the troops come out, the Wuling officials and wealthy families will not be able to control it, and they will inevitably rebel."

"Then let's settle down inside." Liu Zhang said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Ren, Shamoke, Leng Bao, Gao Pei."

"The end will be." All four will be listed at the same time.

"After the barbarian army is collected, you will each lead a thousand troops and arrest all the wealthy families in Wuling according to the civil register provided by Liang Qiao."

"Yes."

"Wang Xu."

"The end will be."

"Lead the pro-soldiers, concentrate all the officials in Wuling, and strictly guard them."

"Yes."

After the generals left, Fa Zheng asked puzzledly, "My lord, what do you want?" ”

Liu Zhang said lightly: "Since you can't control it, then don't care about it." "Liu Zhang only has 8,000 troops, if he wants to fight Liu Pan, how to manage the huge Wuling City, and the only ones who can rebel are officials and wealthy families.

The wind of Dongting Lake blew towards Wuling with the cold air, and there was a desolation in the early morning, and all the Wuling officials were gathered in one place like prisoners last night, and now they have just been released, and they are held hostage by a group of Dongzhou tiger and wolf soldiers and walked towards the official dam, which is a stone white land, usually a place where the people of Wuling City gather and are happy.

Liu Zhang sat on the main seat, the Wuling officials stood aside tremblingly, and a table of wine and food was placed in front of each official, Liu Zhang took advantage of the gap between the officials' seats, pulled down Xiao Furong next to him and sat next to him, and said softly: "Hurry up and eat something, you won't be able to eat later." ”

"Oh." Xiao Furong responded, not polite at all.

If there is no one next to the two, the generals in Yizhou will turn a blind eye, and the Wuling officials will be disdainful, no matter whether Xiao Furong is a concubine or a general, Liu Zhang will lower his price at the same table with him, but he doesn't dare to say it clearly, and he has to look straight ahead, as if he didn't see it.

Liu Zhang raised his glass and said loudly: "You are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, the world is favored by the emperor, and now there is a giant thief Cao Cao, who hijacks the Son of Heaven and persecutes the concubine.

This pastor is guarding the Son of Heaven to crusade against the ministers, everyone, this Spring Festival, come, in order to destroy Liu Biao, a toast. ”

",." The Yizhou generals and Nanban generals all raised their glasses, and those Wuling officials could only raise their glasses, shouting embarrassedly: ",." ”

Liu Zhang drank a cup of wine, blinked and said: "It is the end of the year, and it is the day when Wuling abandons the darkness and turns to the light, it is really a double happiness, this official has prepared a banquet for the ministers, wine, but also a bonfire, dance, and the people are happy, and the whole world celebrates, but before that, there is a more exciting program that must be staged immediately." ”

Liu Zhang clapped his hands, and the flag soldiers next to him raised the flag, and the trumpet sounded melodiously in the sky.

The officials followed the prestige, thousands of soldiers outside the official dam escorted thousands of men into the dam, all kneeling on the ground, Liu Zhang's murderous reputation is far and wide, of course these people know what consequences await them, and suddenly the shouts are everywhere, and the Wuling officials have changed color.

Liu Zhang smiled and said to the officials: "Liu Biao resisted Wang Shi, since he was a minister, these people secretly collaborated with Liu Biao, funded the rebellion, and should be beheaded for their crimes, what do you think?" ”

Wuling officials all did not dare to make a sound, wanted to perfunctory say "should, should", thousands of people's shouts echoed in their ears, but found that the words were blocked in the throat, could not come out, and finally could only swallow with spittle, some officials just picked up the chopsticks, at this time the hand could not move, the chopsticks slipped unconsciously.

Zhang Ren's arm moved upward, and the Dongzhou soldiers immediately dragged a group of wealthy children forward, and as the arm fell, hundreds of heads fell to the ground.

Batches of old and weak men of the wealthy clan were dragged forward, the blood soaked the white rocks, a mess, those officials looked at the dishes in front of them, not to mention eating, but they didn't vomit out last night's food, only Liu Zhang underestimated Xiao Furong's ability to bear.

Liu Zhang left his seat and walked down the steps slowly, every step could cause the heartbeat of the Wuling officials, Liu Zhang stopped in front of the officials, and the officials suddenly raised their hearts to their throats.

"The sins of these wealthy children are unforgivable, and among you, there are their comrades."

As soon as Liu Zhang's voice fell, the nerves of the Wuling officials collapsed instantly, and Liang Qiao was the first to kneel down: "The old minister is loyal to the lord, the sun and the moon can be seen, and the heaven and earth can be expressed." ”

"We are willing to follow Uncle Huang, swear to destroy Liu Biao, Cao Cao and other traitors, saddle before and after the horse, and die."

A group of officials vied with each other to show their loyalty, Liu Zhang waved his hand back, Yang Huai immediately took out a bamboo slip and stepped forward, reading: "After investigation, the waiter Zhang Cong, the guard officer Liao Bai, and the captain of the East City Gate Xue Yi...... The Hao family fornicated with Liu Biao, and all of these people were internal responses, and the crime should be questioned. ”

A group of tiger and wolf sergeants immediately stepped forward, and brought the officials who read it to the dam alive, Liu Zhang said lightly to the remaining officials: "These are found out by this official, but this official thinks that there are still fish that have slipped through the net, you yourself say, who acted as the internal response of the wealthy family to fornicate with Liu Biao?" ”

The remaining Wuling officials looked at each other in fear, and many people were still entangled in Liu Zhang's accusation, they were originally officials under Liu Biao, but now how to change their internal responses, only Liang Qiao has been an official for decades, and instantly understood Liu Zhang's intentions.

The officials who were taken away were all from the Wuling wealthy family, and all the officials from the Shu clan, the Hanmen family, and the foreign wealthy families were not taken away, plus the men who knelt were all children of the Wuling wealthy family, Liu Zhang was blaming Liu Biao for fornicating with Liu Biao, obviously to completely eradicate the Wuling wealthy family.
