Chapter 39: Knocking on the mountain, shaking the tiger and the tiger are frightened
welcomed Brother Zhu back, encouraged him a few words, and then asked him to rest first. It can be seen that although Brother Zhu's spirit is a little excited, he is actually still a little tired, and in that extremely tense situation, after suddenly calming down, he will naturally feel tired.
Liu Xie is very clear about this situation, so there is no need to trouble him with the next things to deal with. Moreover, with Dong He here, there is no need for Liu Xie to interfere in the aftermath, just order it directly. The barbarians who surrendered were first naturalized and then pulled to work as coolies.
As for these people, their treatment naturally cannot be compared with those barbarians in the past, this is Liu Xie's punishment for them, and the intensity can be said to be not very heavy. In fact, everyone understands that the real masterminds behind the scenes are not these barbarians, they are just being used as guns.
If you want to kill the barbarians, it is estimated that the entire southern part of Yizhou will become a ghost domain. What's more, the two armies were at war, and in this Three Kingdoms era, there was rarely such a thing as killing prisoners. The only killing of prisoners was during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
But the reason why the prisoners were killed at that time was also because the court couldn't afford such a big burden, and the military rations were not enough, so how could there be food and pay for the prisoners!
But now it's different, although Liu Xie doesn't have so much food, but he can 'take it from the people and use it for the people'! That's what he's done all the way. Extract enough benefits from those noble families to feed his army. Otherwise, how could he have been able to keep fighting?
Moreover, with so much fertile land leased from a wealthy family, this year's tax revenue will definitely be better than in previous years. In addition, there have been no natural disasters in Yizhou in recent years. In this way, Liu Xie is fully capable of continuing to increase troops and continue foreign wars.
This is also the reason why he doesn't mind those noble families going against him. The more they danced, the happier he killed.
Just like now, after the arrangement was carried out, Liu Xie lent the five hundred Shenwuwei to Dong He, and asked him to send the Shenwuwei to arrest the rest of the rebellious families in Yizhou County...... He sat in Dianchi Lake, waiting for good news.
The battle of Dianchi in Yizhou County soon spread to Yongchang County next door, and the powerful families who detained Fei Shi and Wu Yi immediately panicked.
Looking at Liu Xie's posture, it seems that he doesn't plan to negotiate! Could it be that he really intends to go on another killing spree?
So the men got together again and discussed what to do.
"If you have any thoughts, let's talk about them! Whether it's down or waiting, let's make it clear first! ”
"Elder Yan, you said before that there are people in Jingzhou who will cooperate with us, but now that things have come to this point, what about those who cooperate?"
"Don't worry, since Jingzhou said so, there will definitely be some action. Before the news came from Guigui, the Jingzhou Navy had been trained there, and as long as it worked overnight, it could directly attack Yufu...... I guess it's been a few days! ”
"Just these days? How much time do we have to wait? An obese middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "If I knew this was the case, I should have lived honestly in the first place." The tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers in Yizhou County were destroyed by him overnight, even if we have 20,000 or 30,000 on our side, what is the use? ”
The old man didn't expect that his attitude would be so tough. I thought that we would make a fuss, if he wanted to have a better time, he should listen to our conditions, after all, he was still fighting against Xiliang...... Can ......"
"That person's attitude has never been weak, we should have seen it clearly......"
"It's useless to quarrel now, Elder Yan, you can say it accurately! We have 20,000 or 30,000 barbarians in our hands, if he really doesn't talk about any affection, it's a big deal for us to fight to the death. Since we are going to die, it is better to bring the entire Yongchang County to the funeral! ”
……
As soon as this person's words came out, the entire lobby was filled with the sound of gasp, which ...... How crazy this is!
This is to make trouble with the contradictions between the barbarians and the Han people! If that were the case, they would be sinners for the ages!
"Brother Wang Xian, you've said a little too much!" The sixty-year-old Yan said with a frown.
The middle-aged man surnamed Wang snorted, "Do we still have a choice?" From the beginning of agreeing to make trouble, we have no way out. It's better to go crazy than let the one who cares about him put us all to death. Don't tell Wang, you can't do anything about our extermination! ”
At this moment, a young man with short hair who had been sitting in the corner without speaking smiled and said, "Why don't you go and ask that Fei Taishou to see if he has a way!" Presumably, he wouldn't want to see such a bloody thing happen in Yongchang County! ”
Hearing this, everyone felt a little ridiculous, Fei Shi was under house arrest by them, and they even asked a question to a prisoner, which is too shameless!
"Lu Jiping, although you have served in the county government and are Fei Taishou's subordinates, you must know that we have embarked on this road, and there is no turning back. Why do you think the guy surnamed Fei will help us? The middle-aged man surnamed Wang snorted.
The young man surnamed Lu still smiled and said, "Just because he and we are grasshoppers on the same rope!" Don't forget, if Yongchang County really happens to what Brother Wang said, as a Taishou, he will be blamed, and if he is not punished in the future, his future will be bleak. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded, and at the end, Elder Yan looked at the young man surnamed Lu and said, "Since Ji Ping raised this matter, let's ask on behalf of everyone!" ”
……
Fei Shi, the word Gongju, was originally a native of Qianwei Nan'an, and was recommended by Zhao Wen to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie asked him to be Yongchang Taishou.
He is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a thin face, although he has been reduced to a prisoner, but Fei Shi is very calm, not as short-tempered as the Wu Yi brothers who were locked up in the next room, and scolded those heroes in the room for not being able to die well.
He knew that at this time, it was useless to scold. From the beginning of the barbarian rebellion, he knew that something would happen sooner or later, but Fei Shi didn't expect that things would involve those heroes, and as a result, he became a prisoner of the subordinates if he was not careful.
But he also knew that those people put him under house arrest and did not put him in a cell, so he knew that those heroes did not want to kill them all, but wanted to negotiate with His Majesty. If this is the case, then their lives will not be in danger.
But this is not enough, a good county guard becomes a prisoner of the ranks, although it is not too embarrassing, but in terms of political performance, it is a stain. Especially when I heard that Dong Taishou of Yizhou County next door actually prevented the barbarians' sudden counterattack, he would lose too many points compared to the two.
Therefore, he was racking his brains to think about how to recover these lost points, otherwise, not to mention that he has no face, even Zhao Wen and Zhao Situ, who recommended him, have no face! When the time comes, not to mention continuing to be the Taishou of Yongchang, it is a question whether he can go to a small county town to be a county magistrate.
And just when he was racking his brains to figure out a way, his subordinate Lu Kai came to see him coming.
"I don't know how well Fei Taishou has been doing these days?" Lu Kai glanced at Fei Shi with a smile, asked with a smile, and finally looked at the two guards next to him, and said, "You guys go down first!" I have something to discuss with Fei Taishou and wait outside the door. ”
The two guards who came with Lu Kai nodded, not thinking that Fei Shi had the ability to take down Lu Kai.
"Please forgive me for being too sure!" After all his subordinates left, Lu Kai waved at Fei Shi and said, "Let Taishou be frightened!" ”
Fei Shi's brows frowned slightly, although Lu Kai was his subordinate, but the Lu family was not Wei Haoqiang, Lu Kai would be involved in this matter, he didn't think it was strange. The only thing that makes him strange is Lu Kai's current attitude, what does he mean by this? Admit your mistake? Or is there another conspiracy?
Seeing that Fei Shi just looked at him and didn't speak, Lu Kai knew that Fei Shi was wary of him in his heart.
So Lu Kai said in a low voice: "Fei Taishou, we don't have much time, the lower officials have to participate in this matter, and the lower officials also know that only by participating in it will there be a glimmer of life." The heart of the lower officials is loyal to the Han and His Majesty, please don't doubt this! ”
Fei Shi was a little unsure whether Lu Kai's words were true or false, but smiled and said: "I don't know if Lu Gongcao is here to show his loyalty, or is he here to pay so-and-so?" Fei Mou is only a hundred catties of meat, it is not worth Lu Gongcao's great effort! ”
Lu Kai smiled bitterly: "The lower official knows that Taishou does not trust the lower official in his heart, but please Taishou must believe in the lower official, otherwise, after this time, you and I will have no chance to turn over." Taishou should understand that even if His Majesty rescues Taishou in the future, the position of Yongchang Taishou is difficult to protect, and it is difficult to say whether there will be a turnover in the future. To tell the truth, His Majesty had arrived in Yizhou County two days ago, and that night he beat the barbarians outside the Dianchi City of Yizhou County and fled. With His Majesty's marching speed, he will come to this Yongchang County soon, and at that time, Fei Taishou thinks, is there still a chance? ”
Fei Shi was a little anxious, His Majesty came so quickly, so he didn't have time to react at all, what should he do?
Lu Kai sighed lightly: "The most important thing is that Your Majesty's attitude, does Taishou think Your Majesty will compromise with those powerful people?" If you don't compromise, Wang Yu will let the barbarians slaughter and plunder the Han people of Yongchang County, and at that time, the entire Yongchang County will fall into a greater war, and it will still be a melee between the barbarians. Can you afford this sin? ”
……
In the end, Fei Shi was persuaded and gave Lu Kai a trick, asking Lu Kai to persuade those heroes to send a letter to His Majesty......
Fei Shi's tricks can't be said to be clever, it's just that those heroes don't have the courage to lobby Liu Xie. Lu Kai was reluctant on the surface, but when everyone felt that he should go, he had no choice but to go. But at night, several black shadows quietly rolled into Lu Kai's house. (To be continued.) )
