"Open the city as soon as possible to welcome the red handsome, the red handsome will not pay for the food!"

"The Red Turban Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and the purpose of doing things is to hang the people and kill the crime, not to kill people and not rob ordinary people, and the poor people in the world are one family."

"Open a warehouse to release grain, divide the fields, and be rich and poor!"

"If the officials and gentry in the city are willing to surrender voluntarily, their lives will be saved."

Looking at the lines of handwriting on the arrow book, Bian Shiyu's face became more and more heavy.

It's really that the "Red Turban Army" that came out of nowhere has too strong ability to bewitch.

If you don't kill people and rob, the soldiers and civilians in the city will have no determination to resist!

Not paying for food is the dream of hundreds of people! After years of drought, the crop harvest was extremely poor, and the government expropriated the people, the people were actually on the verge of collapse, and hundreds of people outside the city were reduced to homelessness, and there were countless beggars in the city. And just the three words of not paying food are enough to make hundreds of people crazy!

Not to mention the opening of warehouses to release grain and divide the fields to equalize the rich and poor, it is a fatal temptation for the landless people and the people who cannot eat!

And if the last gentry surrendered to save the lives of their families, the lives of the gentry and officials were guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Of course, there are many loopholes in this arrow book, such as the contradiction between opening a warehouse and distributing grain and distributing the land to the rich and poor, and ensuring the life of the gentry. How can the gentry ensure the money and food needed by tens of thousands of thieves without robbing them? Where does the field come from? Isn't it robbing from the rich gentry?

However, when the siege of the city by the army of ten thousand thieves is over, when it is in danger, who can still care about contradictions and contradictions?

As long as they can save their lives, even if they lose most of their possessions, the gentry will gladly obey them.

After all, there is no anti-thief siege, and when Pingbei Hou Zhang Shize leads the Praetorian Guard to come over, he will also take these gentry to ask for the crime, and they were robbed by the anti-thieves, and the entire Taikang County was looted by the anti-thieves, and the evidence of the gentry bullying the people disappeared, that is, the emperor came in person, and in the face of the bitter gentry, what reason is there to do it?

The hearts of the people were lost, and when the arrow book was shot into the city, everyone in the city lost the courage to resist! As the county magistrate of Taikang County, as a two-list jinshi, Bian Shiyu can naturally see these clearly.

As an official of the imperial court, Bian Shiyu was naturally unwilling to surrender. His family is not here, and once he surrenders to the thieves, his family will inevitably be implicated.

Looking at the boundless anti-thieves outside the city, and then looking at the panicked officials and officials at the head of the city, Bian Shiyu smiled bitterly. Everyone still has a choice, and the worst can surrender to the thief, and they can always think of ways to earn their lives, but they have no way to live.

The family of the thief who surrendered will inevitably be implicated, and it is also a great shame for himself! And if you defend the city, the hearts of the people in the city will be lost, and there will still be defense. Even if he can hold on, what can he do, when Pingbei waits for Zhang Shize to arrive, he will still inevitably dismiss the official and ask for the guilt......

"County Zun, what should we do?" Song Zhao, who was in charge of commanding the officials, walked over and asked respectfully.

"There are still 500 yamen in the city, and mobilizing the people in the city can get thousands of strong men, so they should be able to defend the city, right?" Bian Shiyu said lightly.

"It is said that it can be defended, but when the thief army shoots arrows, many officials are also panicked, and they don't listen to the officials at all." Song Zhao sighed.

Bian Shiyu naturally understood this guy's thoughts. If you say who is the most greedy and cruel in Taikang County, it should be the classic history Song Zhao. Relying on being the No. 3 person in the county government and the local head snake, Song Zhao's reputation in Taikang County even exceeds that of Bian Shiyu. Most of the three classes of officials were Song Zhao's henchmen, and the gentry and wealthy households in Taikang County were all in cahoots with Song Zhao. Song Zhao did everything for the gentry and wealthy households, and did all the bad things of oppressing the people, once Pingbei Hou sent someone to Taikang, he would definitely not be able to escape punishment! So I'm afraid this guy is a thief with an iron heart.

"What are Song Dianshi going to do?" Bian Shiyu asked calmly.

"County Zun, or, let's surrender, lest the people of the city be slaughtered and robbed by the thieves." Song Zhao said.

Bian Shiyu was silent for a while, and sighed: "If Song Dianshi wants to surrender, just surrender." As for the official, he is deeply favored by the country, how can he be a thief? ”

After speaking, Bian Shiyu took out his sword from his waist, strangled it into his neck, and killed himself.

Committing suicide so that his family would not be implicated was his best choice.

Looking at Bian Shiyu's corpse, Song Zhao's face changed, and he sighed and went down the city wall.

"With just a few arrow letters, Taikang City opened the door and surrendered, the military division is really powerful!" Looking at the open city gate, the red lady applauded and laughed.

Li Yan smiled indifferently: "The gentry and officials in the city have no fighting spirit, as long as we promise not to loot, and then promise to open a warehouse and release grain, the people can't wait for us to enter the city." ”

In the final analysis, it was the faint monarch's disappointment, whether it was the gentry or the officials, who were afraid of being killed by the emperor for no reason, and they were unwilling to serve the court anymore.

Suddenly, Li Yan felt as if he had found the code to rebel. As long as the emperor's massacre of officials and gentry in northern Shaanxi and Shandong is widely publicized, and then promised to open warehouses for the hungry people to release grain, the future siege of the city will be invincible.

And as their ranks grow, as they occupy more territory, more gentry will come to vote.

However, there are still some problems in this, if you want to expand your team, you have to get more money and food, and the money and food can only be obtained from the gentry and rich households, but in the future, you can't use knives against the gentry, and you must take care of the proportions.

"The order went down, and after entering the city, he occupied the grain depot and arsenal, but he was not allowed to trespass into people's houses, and he was not allowed to loot and kill! Li Mou, you take my personal battalion as the supervising team, and all those who dare to violate military discipline will be executed! Li Yan commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Strategist!" Li Yan's brother Li Mu agreed.

"But if we don't rob the rich families, I'm afraid we won't have enough money and food to feed our brothers, right?" The Red Lady said.

"Don't worry, Hong Shuai, I have a way to make the gentry and rich families pay for silver and grain." Li Yan explained, "Our Red Turban Army wants to do the right thing for heaven, and if we want to do a great job, we must strictly enforce military discipline, so that more people of insight can join us." Otherwise, you can only remain a rogue. ”

"Okay, military advisor, you read a lot, and I listen to you." The red lady nodded.

"The criminal officer Taikang County Dian Shi Song Zhao visited the two masters!" Song Zhao knelt down and said.

"The history of the Song Dynasty is meritorious and exempt from courtesy." Li Yan said, "By the way, where is the Taikang County Order?" ”

Song Zhao lowered his head and said: "The county respects him and doesn't know the current affairs, so he committed suicide." ”

Li Yan sighed: "He is also a loyal person, let's put away his corpse well." ”

This Song Zhao is just a classic history that does not enter the stream, and it is obvious that he is not a scholar, Li Yan hopes that Taikang County will make Bian Shiyu surrender to him, which really means that the scholars will be attached.
