Wang Zuohang's several leaders, Miao Mei and Feishan Hu, all agreed to accept the appeasement, on the grounds that the grain in the valley was exhausted, and the displaced people under him were panicking.

"Big boss, if the officers and soldiers are trapped for another ten days and a half months, they can starve to death by starvation alone." The Flying Mountain Tiger said worriedly.

"You biaozi, where is it so exaggerated!" The big red wolf scolded, "It's the end of summer, and you can survive even if you dig wild vegetables and eat grass roots." Besides, who knows if the official army is lying to us, if we go out of the valley, will there be knives and guns waiting for us? ”

Feishan Tiger retorted: "Isn't Zhao Sheng okay with that lamp, and it is the emperor who ordered to appease him, and the emperor Chrysostom said it, how can he break his word?" ”

The big red wolf said: "That lamp is a big boss of nearly 10,000 people, and now he hasn't even mixed up with an official and a half-position, how can the emperor have good intentions?" ”

Wang Zuohang stopped the two arguing and looked at Li Hongji: "General, do you think we should surrender?" ”

Yes, Li Hongji gave himself the nickname "Breaking General", claiming to break out of the world.

Li Hongji groaned: "Big boss, I thought we should be cautious. What the big red wolf said is not unreasonable, what if the officials and soldiers lure us out first, and then poison us? After all, we have fought several battles with the officers and soldiers, and we have killed and injured many officers and soldiers, and the ordinary militia may be fine, and those of us who are leaders may not end well. ”

Looking at his subordinates, Wang Zuohang was in a dilemma, so he asked each of them to go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it tomorrow.

"Uncle, why don't you want to surrender? I heard that this time the officers and soldiers are different from the past, and they are quite benevolent. On the way back to the cave, Li Jin asked quietly.

Li Hongji looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Jin'er, do you remember that Jinyiwei chased and killed us?" If someone else surrenders, it may be okay, but if our uncle and nephew surrender, I'm afraid it won't end well. ”

Li Jin nodded, and suddenly pointed ahead: "Why are so many people gathered there?" ”

In front of a narrow cave, Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, was sitting on the ground, talking like a river, talking about the war with the official army:

"On that day, I set up a plan to lure the enemy, ordered my subordinates to throw the stolen silver money in front of the battle, tried to use the money to disrupt the formation of the official army, and then took advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill, and broke the official army. Tens of thousands of taels of silver, tens of thousands of copper coins, spread out to fill this valley, guess what? ”

"What else can I do, the officers and soldiers must be crazy to rob it." Imagine so much money, there are homeless people drooling.

"Yes, so much money, fools don't rob it, but it's a pity that all the money we grabbed was taken away by the big boss......"

"Wrong!" Zhao Sheng slapped his thigh, "This official army is different from the past, it is a Praetorian Guard trained by the emperor himself, and it is very disciplined, and in the face of the money rolling all over the ground, not even a single soldier moved." ”

"Ahh Many homeless people were stunned, how could it be, there were still officers and soldiers who didn't see the money?

"If the officers and soldiers do not move, my original strategy of taking advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill cannot be implemented, so I can only order my men to hide behind the hills, but I don't know that the emperor noticed it and ordered it to be bombarded with artillery. The Praetorian Guard was armed with hundreds of artillery, all of which were Hongyi cannons purchased from Xiyi, and the mountain could collapse if the cannon went down. Hundreds of cannons opened fire at the same time, and the cliffs dozens of feet high where my brothers and I were hiding were razed to the ground, and thousands of brothers were exposed in front of the officers and soldiers.

In addition to artillery, there were also a large number of firearms, and the brothers had no shelter, not even a single armor and shield, and if they continued, before the two sides could engage in short combat, at least half of my thousands of brothers would be killed. Fortunately, the emperor was merciful and did not want to kill or injure the people, so he ordered people to surrender us.

I didn't want to surrender, but when I think about it, I can't let thousands of brothers die because of my selfishness. He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of the emperor's royal car with himself, hoping to use one life to change the life of thousands of subordinates. Who knew that the emperor did not kill me, nor did he kill any of my brothers, but allocated grain, sheep and wine, so that everyone could have a full meal. What touched me the most was that the emperor actually came specifically for us and other poor people, not to kill us, but to make decisions for us.

Just outside Qingjian City, His Majesty ordered Jinyi Wei to arrest the bad gentry and evil officials in Qingjian County, and judge their crimes one by one. It turned out that at the beginning of this year, the emperor issued an order to reduce this year's money and grain, and also allocated 500,000 stone of grain for disaster relief. However, those evil officials still pursued taxes, and the inferior gentry colluded with the government to embezzle disaster relief food, so that we people could not survive, so they took risks and took risks.

After His Majesty found out the truth, he immediately ordered the execution of those inferior gentry and evil officials, and cut off their heads in front of tens of thousands of people, and even the county magistrate was cut off by His Majesty. There were hundreds of human heads, their heads rolling all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river. ”

"Well chopped!" Some homeless people shouted, "These officials should be fucking killed!" ”

"Yes, there are also those old men who lift people, a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes, and my niece was robbed by Li Juren in the next village......"

"It seems that the emperor is a good man, and he will make decisions for us poor people."

The surrounding homeless people exchanged heads and talked about each other.

"Of course the emperor is a good person, he has issued an order to reduce taxes in northern Shaanxi for three years, and allocated hundreds of thousands of stone grains to come over for disaster relief, and he will also distribute the fields occupied by those squires and officials to us landless people, and now Qingjian County is dividing the fields!" Zhao Sheng shouted.

"The emperor really wants to give us the land?" A homeless person asked in surprise.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, go to Qingjian County to take a look, how can you hide such a big movement." Zhao Sheng said with a smile.

"Brothers, everyone is poor, hungry and has no choice but to take risks, but now that the Son of Heaven has come to northern Shaanxi, he wants to make decisions for us, everyone doesn't have to worry about starvation and bullying in the future, what kind of rebellion, go out and surrender as soon as possible." Zhao Sheng continued.

"What are you doing here? How can he bewitch the public here! Li Jin really couldn't listen to it, and shouted loudly.

The leader of the displaced people guarding Zhao Sheng shrank his neck and hurriedly drove away the surrounding displaced people: "It's late at night, everyone go back to wash and sleep." ”

"Master Zhao, let's go back to the cave to rest." The leader was very kind and attentive to Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, and completely ignored Li Hongji's uncle and nephew standing in front of him, in fact, he was not afraid of Li Hongji, because Li Hongji's uncle and nephew only had a few hundred people under him, and they belonged to outsiders.

Looking at Zhao Sheng, who was "escorted" into the cave, Li Hongji's eyes flashed.

"Uncle, or just kill this lamp!" Li Jin said fiercely.

Li Hongji shook his head: "Killing people rashly will arouse the suspicion of the king's master." However, if this Zhao Sheng is allowed to stay in the camp for a few days, I am afraid that the military spirit will really be over, so I will go and persuade the big boss to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

After speaking, Li Hongji turned around and walked towards the cave where Wang Zuo hanged.
