Chapter 240: Kneel
In the past, even if the children of the clan violated the law, they would punish them painlessly, but in the end, the people who denounced them had to suffer, so that the wronged people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
I heard that Liu Zhang killed hundreds of thousands of children of the world clan in Hanzhong, Jiangzhou (what Fan Lixiang said), the people all felt angry, and finally met a good official who was not pretentious and not afraid of the world, and now they have to see if Fan Lixiang is really the same as his words and deeds, if Sima Xiang goes in with gold, if he really gets benefits, these simple people will be very disappointed.
And often a person or a group has only one chance to win credibility.
Just when the people were probing their brains, they only saw from a distance that Fan Lixiang's big tent in the army suddenly rolled out of a person, and if you took a closer look, wasn't it Sima Xiang?
Sima Xiang was followed by a large number of Sichuan army generals, all of them in armor and majestic, pointing at Sima Xiang and scolding.
"Old immortal."
"Kill a thousand knives."
"Skull-chopping one."
What a kind scolding voice, especially from the mouths of those generals who looked to be wearing formal military armor, the people only thought that it must be Sima Xiang's high-sounding guy, who tried in vain to bribe the "jealous and hateful" female general Fan Lixiang, which annoyed the group of upright generals under General Fan.
Sima Xiang was driven out of the camp, and the people surrounded him from afar, all showing a look of disgust and contempt, pointing at the disgraced Sima Xiang, and talking to each other, all of them were laughing at Sima Xiang, Sima Xiang was pushed to the ground, an old face was defeated, and he hated Fan Lixiang very much in his heart.
At this moment, Fan Lixiang walked out of the big tent wearing red armor on a white background, followed by Chen Ying and other generals of Jingnan, with the heroic righteousness of the universe at every step.
Fan Lixiang's face was like frost, stretching out her slender white palm to the side, Chen Ying respectfully handed a plate of gold to Fan Lixiang's hand, Fan Lixiang originally just wanted to make a cold action, but she didn't expect the gold to be heavier than she imagined, and she almost didn't hold it.
Fan Lixiang held the golden plate, and under the gaze of the people, she walked to Sima Xiang who was rolling to the ground step by step, pointed to the people who were talking about it around her, and said in a deep voice to Sima Xiang: "Sima Xiang, look at how many people hate you?" What your Sima family has done is angry and resentful, do you still want to buy the general?
Tell you, you miscalculated, this will not be Cai Mao, the lord of Yizhou Liu Huang Uncle is not a thief Liu Biao, from today on, the era of lawlessness of you wealthy families has passed, there is Ben General, there is Uncle Liu Huang, who dares to bully the good and bully, it is his end. ”
Fan Lixiang said, and glanced at the plate of gold in her hand with disdain: "Don't talk about this bit of gold, it's 10,000 taels, 10,000 taels, and don't want to change the will of the general, and the determination of the general to avenge the people, Mount Tai will not waver." ”
Fan Lixiang's hall was full of righteousness.
Fan Lixiang said and tilted the gold plate, smashing down one ingot of gold after another, poor Sima Xiang, an old man, osteoporosis, was smashed, and couldn't say a word, and the two family members couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
The gold ingots fell one by one, and the strong visual effect impacted the eyes of the people, Fan Lixiang's generosity and justice, and the temperament of treating gold as dung, deeply shocked the onlookers, first silent, and then erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
"Long live General Fan, long live Uncle Liu Huang."
"Long live General Fan, long live Uncle Liu Huang."
"The Divine Army is invincible."
The cheers of the people were deafening, and those lazy soldiers of the "Shenwei Army" suddenly felt extremely glorious, and one by one they cheered up, their faces were radiant, and they only felt extremely proud to be a member of the Shenwei Army.
The fluttering red battle flag of the Shenwei Army is even more vivid at this moment.
The peasant leader, asking for the people's life, the beautiful female general, blasted out of the hero, and regarded gold as dung.
Countless auras shrouded Fan Lixiang.
From this moment on, Fan Lixiang and her reputation for the Shenwei Army spread, Fan Lixiang became the revered general in the hearts of the people, and the Shenwei Army became the most trusted army of the people.
Because of the relationship between Fan Lixiang and the Shenwei Army, the impression of the entire Sichuan army in the hearts of the people began to change, and the low-level people under Liu Zhang's jurisdiction began to rethink everything the Sichuan army did, the massacre of Jiangzhou, Hanzhong, and Wuling, the Chaisang Hui army attacked Shanyue, and the two rivers broke the embankment for disaster relief.
Even though the nightmare of Gu Xiangyang lingered, the overall impression of the Sichuan army, in the hearts of these simple people, began to be positive.
In addition to Jingyi Erzhou, in addition to the mainstream of the world's propaganda, there are also gradually different voices.
Fan Lixiang poured one plate, poured another plate, and smashed it all on Sima Xiang, Sima Xiang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, fled in embarrassment under the support of two family members.
Fan Lixiang didn't say a word to the people, turned around in a dashing manner, and when she walked past Chen Ying, she said without a trace: "After the people disperse, put away the gold." ”
………… At night, Liu Zhang picked up the booklets handed by Li Yan and Zhang Ren for review, these booklets Li Yan and Zhang Ren had already approved, and he just read them for the last time.
After observing in the past two days, Li Yan's governing ability is indeed the same as in history, it is still good, many miscellaneous things are in order, and Zhang Ren does things, Liu Zhang is more at ease.
Zhang Ren is a double disciple of Tong Yuan and Jia Long, his martial arts are enough to be a general, and the deployment of troops is also considered to be superior, from Fucheng to Xiangyang, all the way down, he has matured a lot, and he can be on his own.
The most rare thing is that Zhang Ren is not arrogant or impatient, there is no problem with great joy and impulsiveness, and Liu Zhang is relieved of the things handed over to him.
"Turning back to pass the order, Li Yansheng Xiangyang County is too shou, Baichuan County is Jiang Wan, Nan County is transferred to Jiangling, and Huang Zhong is transferred to Xiangyang to stand by."
"Yes." The Chronicler agreed.
Liu Zhang clutched his pen and thought, there is only so much that can be done now, Huang Zhong said that he would not participate in the battle of Jingzhou, and now Liu Biao is terminally ill, and he has no scruples.
Through the Xiangjiang disaster relief, Jiang Wan's ability was vividly displayed, pacifying the victims, allocating food, maintaining law and order, preventing and controlling diseases, and rebuilding the river embankment, all of which were carried out in an orderly manner.
"Jiang Wan, Fan Lixiang." Liu Zhang read these two names, when there was a shortage of civil officials, Fan Lixiang could find such a great sage for herself, which was really a blessing in the snow.
"Xing Daorong, Chen Ying, Liu Min, Liu Min......" Liu Zhang thought about the names of the generals under Fan Lixiang's tent, and suddenly remembered that this Liu Min was Jiang Wan's cousin, raised his head and asked the notekeeper: "Who is this Liu Min?" Is he as talented as Jiang Wan? ”
The chronicler thought for a while and said: "Liu Min and Jiang Xianling are from the same township, both are children of poor families, and both of them are famous in the township, but it is not clear what the real talent of governance is. ”
Liu Zhang bowed slightly, now many counties have not found officials to fill them, resulting in the people have no governance, Liu Zhang sent military generals to govern, how can he manage any talents, as long as he can talk loudly.
When do you have to dig up this Liu Min too?
When Liu Zhang thought of this, he was suddenly stunned, did he still want to dig people from his subordinates?
At this time, the recorder frowned and said: "The lord mentioned the Jingnan Army, but his subordinates have something to report, a few days ago, General Fan gave his army a new name, called the Shenwei Army, and it seems to be very popular with the people, these days, many people are outside the Shenwei military camp every day, queuing up to sign up to be soldiers. ”
"Oh?" Liu Zhang raised his head in surprise, "This is a strange thing, since the beginning of our Sichuan army in Yizhou, no one has taken the initiative to join the army, and it took a lot of effort to recruit hundreds of soldiers in Jiangling, Fan Lixiang is really capable." ”
"Don't you think it's worrying?"
Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "Did she accept it?" ”
"It should be confiscated, it's not clear." The chronicler shook his head, judging from the military salaries, grain, grass and ordnance requested, it was indeed confiscated, but who knows the specifics, anyway, there are many people who are now sending eggs to the Shenwei Army.
"Then let's wait."
At this time, Yang Zishang walked in from outside the door and presented a booklet to Liu Zhang, "Lord, this is the total number of properties reported by more than 30 large and small families in Xiangyang, and more than 70 large and wealthy families, and his subordinates have made a summary. ”
Liu Zhang took the booklet, and while checking it, he casually said to Yang Zishang: "Hasn't Qin Ming been with you recently?" What's going on with him and Fan Lixiang? ”
Yang Zishang elaborated on the contradictions between Qin Ming and Fan Lixiang that he saw.
Liu Zhang nodded, and suddenly frowned: "Is the Sima family's property so small...... I didn't see that the Huang family had so much property. ”
Liu Zhang thought of Huang Yueying's ugly girl again, she stirred up the good marriage that others had won so hard, and she didn't know if she would marry at this time, but if she has money, she should be able to get married.
"The Huang family is a local family, and there are naturally more properties, the Sima family, the Pang family, and the Zhuge family are all moved from other places, and the clans are not in Jingzhou, especially the Zhuge family, the property is almost zero, and the people are almost gone, and there are no statistics on it."
"Yes, that's good." Liu Zhang nodded, suddenly stunned, and saw that there were still a few rows of words on the left: "What's the matter with listing these gold and silver artifacts later?" ”
"That's for the clan."
Liu Zhang raised his head suspiciously, will the Shi clan donate money to the Sichuan army? Liu Zhang looked at Yang Zishang's treacherous face and said suspiciously: "You won't be persecuted, right?" ”
"Absolutely voluntary." Yang Zishang assured.
"Yes, if it is persecuted, even if you hand it over to the treasury, you will not be able to escape the responsibility."
"Subordinates remember."
"What's on your hands?" Liu Zhang noticed that Yang Zishang was holding something like a thread-bound book in later generations.
"This is the Huang family's account book, paper, and my subordinates look rare and often carry it."
"Paper?" Liu Zhang stood up in surprise, took the account book, and looked at it carefully, from the invention of Caihou paper to the Three Kingdoms period, there have been a lot of improved paper, but it is impossible to break the two major shackles, one is expensive, and the other is inconvenient to write, all types of paper are at most the same.
Such an account book, you have to spend a lot of money, the Huang family is really rich, and the bookkeeping is paper, Liu Zhang sighed, the account book of his pastoral house is still the bamboo slip.
But just opened the first page, and seven words blinded Liu Zhang's eyes.
"This volume is worth thirty wen."
There is also a row of small characters below, handmade: Huang Wanzhen.
………… Heavy rain fell for seven days and seven nights, and it was sunny on the seventh day, which was also the time to give Pang Tong a reply, according to the spies' report, after Chen Sheng left Xiangyang, he colluded with the Xiling rebels who were defeated by Huang Zhong, and fell into the grass in Jingshan, looking at Xiangyang, and had the situation of re-attacking as soon as he left Xiangyang.
Jiangxia Huangzu refused to accept Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun led the Jingzhou Navy to garrison Jingling Xiaogang, and the Jingzhou Navy was transferred more than 100,000 troops into the two battles of Baichuan and Xiangyang, leaving less than 100,000, and the strength was greatly weakened.
Huang Zu didn't know what to think, because he had a grudge with Jiangdong, he couldn't be effective, and he didn't listen to the announcement under Liu Biao, and he didn't listen to Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, and now he has an independent situation, the land of the four wars in Jiangxia, Jiangdong, Jingzhou, the Central Plains, and the three Xinjiangs, is Huang Zu really so stupid?
The Jiangdong Army led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai stagnated when they arrived at Sanjiangkou, either sending people to persuade Zhang Yun and Huangzu to surrender, or plotting against Jingzhou.
Liu Zhang decided to solve the internal problems as soon as possible, and then calm down and start dealing with the four armies.
During the seven-day period, Jingzhou's government affairs were initially straightened out, and it also represented the official entry of the Sichuan army into Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang held a celebration ceremony on the outskirts of the city.
The sky is clear and clear, and the clouds are high and the rivers are far away.
Liu Zhang led the civil and military forces to the high platform, the three armies stood in the wilderness, and some clans were invited to come to watch the ceremony, and the wilderness was surrounded by people in Xiangyang who watched the excitement.
Liu Zhangzhenyi sat on a high position, Xiao Furong stood left and right behind him, Fa Zheng and other civil officials sat at the bottom, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Sha Moke, Fan Lixiang, Yang Ren, Deng Zhi, Gao Pei, Lei Tong and others galloped in this formation.
Li Yan stepped forward with the proclamation and read it out hoarsely.
"Husband, the river flows into the sea and folds, the society is long and prosperous, and now the Han Dynasty is in trouble, the stars are harmful, the stars are harmful, Cao Cao is holding the Son of Heaven hostage in the north, the princes of the Quartet are not subservient, the rivers and mountains are cracked, and the people are separated.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who is a royal family, does not read the emperor's virtues, does not honor the emperor, has 400,000 armor, and sits and watches the chaos of ministers and thieves scourge the Han world, and the crime should not be forgiven.
Fortunately, God bless the Han, Yizhou Mu, Liu Zhang, the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, the heart of Sheji, raised 100,000 soldiers to crusade against the ministers, defeated Liu Pan in Hanshou, rejected Jiangdong in Chaisang, defeated Shanyue, took Jiangling, stepped on Baichuan, Weijia Liangxiang, saved the people of Jingzhou from fire and water, helped the Han world to fall, Kuang helped the Han, and Ze was all the people.
In this troubled era, the Son of Heaven was trapped in Xuchang, the land of the Quartet, the virtuous lived in it, and Uncle Liu Huang led Jingzhou to guard on behalf of the Son of Heaven, with the hope of all the people.
The emperor's uncle was benevolent and righteous, grateful to the thief Liu Biaohan's clansmen, forgave his capital crime, and three days later sent Emei Mountain, and handed over the Jingzhou seal ribbon to his son Liu Cong. ”
Li Yan closed the bamboo slip and looked at Liu Cong.
Liu Cong stood next to Cai, Liu Cong, who was already an adult, looked a little timid, and when he heard his name being read, he cowered at Cai, and Cai gently slapped his shoulder and pushed it.
"Three days later, Emeishan will be dispatched." Cai knows very well that this is the deadline given to him by Liu Zhang, if within three days, Liu Biao will not die...... "Childe, please." "It's amazing, and I said it loudly.
With such a powerful and vicious face and a loud voice, Liu Cong, who was frightened, did not dare to move, and only after a long time did he take the seal ribbon handed by the civil official tremblingly, and looked at Liu Zhang, who was staring coldly ahead, with fearful eyes, and walked over carefully.
At this moment, a rumbling sound was suddenly heard, and then the earth trembled, and the faces of the clan and the people were afraid, and they didn't know what was going on, and at this time, the three armies of the Sichuan army raised their spears and roared in unison under the command of the general.
"Ho, ho, ho, hoo, hoo, ho, hoo.
"Hooray."
"Hooray."
The people who came to watch the ceremony did not change their color, and all the people were shocked, Liu Cong stepped on the trembling stone slab, and was frightened by the exhalation of the army, and rolled down the steps with the seal ribbon in his hand and the plate.
"Huh."
There was a sound of drawing a sword, and he said loudly: "The son has lost the seal, and he is disrespectful, and the crime should be punished." ”
Liu Cong looked at the giant hammer in his hand, and finally his whole body was so frightened that he fell to the bluestone floor, his eyes looked at Liu Zhang and he was so powerful, his whole body was stiff, and he couldn't move anymore.
Liu Zhang's hand was raised, and all the guards collected their swords one after another.
Fa Zheng stared at the ground with his eyes on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Cong lost his seal, he should be beheaded, the lord is benevolent and righteous, he remembers his youth and ignorance, forgives his sins, and his mother replaces him and kneels." ”
"Kneel."
The two words came from Fa Zheng's mouth in a deep voice, and Cai's face, who was standing dignifiedly, moved, his hands in front of his abdomen almost slipped, and his right thumb and index finger tightly pinched the belly of his left finger.
Liu Zhang looked straight ahead, and the three armies struck the shield with their swords, and the shouts were incessant, deafening.
The generals looked at Cai, Cai's hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped out, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Sichuan army, leaders of large and small wealthy clans, and thousands of people, Cai picked up the seal ribbon from the steps, walked in front of Liu Zhang, and knelt down.
As soon as the overseers pressed their hands, the army stopped shouting, and everything was silent.
Cai Mao, Cai Yu and other Cai family backbones looked at the high platform, they were all stunned, and other clans also changed color, the Cai family, as the largest local clan in Jingxiang, under the cultivation of Liu Biao, covered the sky in Jingzhou, and the Cai family was superior in front of other clans.
Although the Cai family is a woman, she has single-handedly laid the rise of the Cai family, although she has always lived in the attic, and everything is done by Cai Mao, Cai Yu and the head of the Cai family, but in the Cai family, they have always been true to their words, even if Cai Mao and the head of the Cai family are also obedient to the Cai family.
And at this moment, this person, who has never changed his face, and every Jingzhou official and general has to give three points when he sees it, kneels down in front of Liu Zhang, buries his head deeply, and holds up the seal ribbon.
The family is strong and powerful.
And this has also achieved the goal of Fa rectification, bending to the group and succumbing to the head first.
The rumbling sound came from afar, today is the day when the Han River opens the floodgates, and the flood that has been stored for seven days has set off a monstrous wave and swept towards the ancient Xiangyang, where ashes are dead and silent.
Ancient Xiangyang has been ancient since then, and the whole city will become a white land in addition to the ruins and broken walls.
Liu Zhang took the seal ribbon and held it high to the northern royal family, and the army shouted again, and the sound was magnificent.
"My lord." A general ran into the high platform from the army and said in a loud voice: "On the occasion of this grand event, the clouds are wide and the sky is clear, it is a good time to get rid of the treacherous, and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the world will be determined, and the last general Qin Ming will have something important to tell the lord." ”
