Chapter 125
More than half a year has passed, and there are no rats in the city.
Soldiers secretly killed women and children because of hunger, and ate human flesh to satisfy their hunger.
At this time, Guo Wei ordered the siege to begin.
It is conceivable that there is no suspense in this, and it will break through the city directly.
Li Shouzhen had no choice but to retreat to Zicheng with the remnants.
Guo Wei's generals all suggested taking advantage of the situation to strike iron and attack Zicheng as soon as possible.
Guo Wei said with a smile: "That bird will peck people when it has nowhere to escape, let alone an army!" Slowly scoop the water dry and catch the fish, why be so anxious! ”
Sure enough, in desperation, Li Shouzhen took his wife and son Li Chongxun to play with fire and burned himself to death.
So, Guo Wei led the army Shi Shiran into the city, captured Li Shouzhen's other son Li Chongyu and the appointed prime ministers Chen Jing and Sun Yuan, the privy envoy Liu Rui, the national teacher Zonglun and others, escorted them to Daliang, all of them were killed and brutalized on the streets.
After entering the city, Guo Wei checked Li Shouzhen's official letters and saw that there were letters from the court's powerful ministers and feudal town officials who colluded with Li Shouzhen.
At this time, Guo Wei's secretary Lang, Wang Pu advised: "The ghosts only fight to come out at night, and when they see the sun, they will naturally disappear." I hope to burn it all down to calm the capricious. ”
When Guo Wei heard this, he thought so, so he burned the letters with a fire.
After cleaning up Li Shouzhen, Guo Wei began to pay attention to Zhao Siwan in Yongxing.
Unexpectedly, this Zhao Siwan couldn't stand the attention of others, and when he heard that Li Shouzhen was burned, he sent someone to send a letter of surrender to Guo Wei in fear. explained that he was going astray, and after getting Guo Dada's attention, he suddenly woke up. Now that I hope to return to power, I also ask Guo Dada to raise his noble hand and let me go.
Guo Wei looked at Xinle, what does this mean, it shows that this handsome is famous, and he is a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
So, he wrote back to agree to Zhao Siwan's request. Give him a chance to be a new person, and show Liu Chengyou to Feng Zhao Siwan as the queen of Huazhou.
This Zhao Siwan is an out-and-out demon, he likes to eat human liver. I once cut open a person's abdomen in front of me to take the liver and cut it into thin strips, but after the cut, the person was not dead. He also devoured the gall of men with wine, and said to them, "Swallow a thousand." It's bold. ”
When there was no food in Chang'an City. They relied on eating women and children as military rations, and a certain amount of supplies were provided every day, and every time they rewarded the army, they slaughtered hundreds of people to eat, just like slaughtering pigs and sheep.
Therefore, although he surrendered and stayed in Huazhou, the good times did not last long, not many days. Guo Wei used the excuse of rebellion as an excuse to reward him with a knife and a total of 300 people, along with Chang Yanqing and Zhao Sijuan's father, brothers, and subordinates. All of them were pushed to the market and beheaded.
Now only Fengxiang Wang Jingchong is left, Guo Wei naturally knows the truth of the Dao Bird Hidden Bow,
Therefore, Guo Wei left Wang Jingchong, led the army to play a triumphant song, and returned to Bianliang City in a beautiful manner.
On the way, Guo Wei passed by Luoyang, and the officials guarding Luoyang should come to greet him, but he didn't expect that Wang Shouen, who stayed in Luoyang, was too big to be a general, so he came to greet him in a sedan chair, and he didn't get off the sedan chair when he arrived in front of him.
Guo Wei was furious, you are a thief and a bird, Lao Tzu is playing with his life in front of you, when you come to your one-third of an acre, you actually play a score against me? Don't you really know the three eyes of the prince of the horse?
So, he said that he was tired from the journey and was taking a shower, so it was inconvenient to see each other.
On the other hand, he planned to appoint Bai Wenke, the envoy of Baoyi Festival and Tongping Zhangshi, to replace Wang Shouen as the guard, and Bai Wenke did not dare to disobey his will.
Poor Wang Shouen was still sitting in the guest seat in Guo Wei's camp, waiting for Guo Wei to summon him, and he didn't want any of his officials to come and tell him: "The new left-behind guard is now working in Luoyang Mansion." ”
Wang Shouen was taken aback and returned in embarrassment, seeing that hundreds of family members had been driven out of the house and standing on the street.
In the future, the imperial court didn't even ask about this matter, and directly appointed Bai Wenke as a servant and served as the guard of Xijing.
And Wang Shouen came to Daliang in embarrassment, afraid of being convicted, so he went everywhere and bribed the powerful with heavy gifts.
The imperial court also forgave him because Wang Shouen was the first to lead Luzhou to surrender to the Later Han Dynasty, and only punished a few people in power under him, and the matter was over.
Since ancient times, a country that has been in turmoil and perished must have first destroyed its legal system, and then turmoil followed, which is inevitable, and this is exactly the case now.
Bai Wenke and Wang Shouen were both ministers of the Han Dynasty, and Guo Wei was only replaced by a privy envoy at that time, just like changing the guards.
At that time, Guo Wei did not ignore the monarch's ambitions, but he was able to do this because everyone had been accustomed to it for decades, so Bai Wenke did not dare to disobey, and Wang Shouen did not dare to resist.
Since the emperor did not suspect this practice, the monarchs and ministers of the court also ignored it, and the court was corrupted and chaotic to the extreme.
When Liu Chengyou heard that the rebellion was swept away, he was already happy and didn't know why, thinking that the world was peaceful now, and he gradually indulged in extravagance and indulgence, and played with the favored ministers around him at will.
Guo Wei was appointed by Liu Chengyou as a privy envoy, and was promoted from deputy to be in charge of the military power of the country. At the same time, there is also a large list of official names, such as Ye Du staying, Tianxiong Army Festival Envoy, and so on. In these years, promotion is like riding a rocket.
In order to stop the mouths of other ministers, Guo Wei said: "This time the rebellion is all due to the concerted efforts of His Majesty and the ministers, and the ministers have triumphed, and the ministers have just done their best. ”
Typical get cheap and sell well.
As a result, Liu Chengyou rewarded three ministers who took care of their lives, and also rewarded various courtiers together, and even everyone in the feudal towns in various places had a share.
It's just that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven, no, not only the chicken and dog in this person's house have ascended to heaven, but even the pigs and dogs within 108,000 miles away from his house have ascended to heaven.
Guo Wei does not monopolize the credit, but transfers the credit to others, which is indeed a noble act, but the title of the country, because of one person's meritorious service, is it too indiscriminate!
Fengxiang Wang Jingchong has lived in dire straits every day since Li Shouzhen and Zhao Sijuan were destroyed, and he couldn't sleep every night.
After the last, he seemed to hear Li Shouzhen's call.
actually set up his own soldiers in the house, and also played with fire, and went to find Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan as companions.
Since then, Guo Wei has completely stood out from the four major ministers of the Later Han Dynasty, laying a solid foundation for the future usurpation.
……。
Since appointing Feng Dao as the academy of Jinling Academy.
Baili Wuji will be disturbed by this old man every few days, and Baili Wuji has already regretted why he left this old man?
Feng Dao knew that he was disgusted by Baili Wuji, but he pretended not to see it.
The prime ministers of the six dynasties are not in vain, their cheeks have long been trained into thick cowhides, and they are afraid of what they dislike.
I'm just a plaster, and as soon as you put it on, you want to tear it off. Feng Dao was proud in his heart. (To be continued......)
