0610 Surrender and rebel

The school field, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, has already been occupied by the crowd who rushed to hear the news, and many of the people who were crowded in the rear actually couldn't hear what the people on the high platform in the center of the school field were saying, but it did not prevent them from following the shouts of the masses in front of them with righteous indignation.

As the first stop of the public trial of Liu Zhongli, the people of Yucheng can be said to be very supportive, the first scene still needs the government to organize the people to come to watch, and two days later, the second scene, there is no need for the government to organize again, and the people have flocked to the time of the public trial.

Now this public trial has been added to the tenth one, which can be said to be full, and the enthusiasm of the masses has not diminished. Some people even did not pull on the field, and they were already familiar with the public trial links and content on the high platform, but they still actively participated, and took the initiative to undertake the work of voluntary propaganda, explaining to some people on the periphery of the school who did not understand the situation.

"It can't be true, can it? That Liu Zhongli is Liang Guowei's famous general, how can he be so shameless, stupid and ridiculous?"

The reality is so absurd that many people can't believe it's true.

The reason is also very simple, this person is richer than me, more famous than me, and more prominent than me, and his quality must be far better than mine, otherwise how can he enjoy so many social resources? But even I wouldn't be stupid enough to make such a mistake, how could he?

"That Liu Zhongli is just a scum who deceives the world and steals his name, if he is really as famous, how can he let the thief Hou Jing rob his father? How could he be captured by our Governor Li Dadu to Jingzhou?

He was disadvantaged to be a diligent king, surrendered to the thieves, and was released by betraying his father and bribing the thieves, but he was also contaminated with the thief's nature and wanted to enter our Jingzhou, only to be attacked and captured by Governor Li, he is a stupid thief!"

All kinds of voices continued to emerge on the school field, because the public trial had been going on for many days, and the discussion among the people was no longer limited to Liu Zhongli's ugly crimes, but gradually extended to other people.

For example, the old Bodhisattva Xiao in Nanliang, the children and grandchildren are all unfilial people, the courtiers are all disloyal, and even Hou Jing, who is now causing trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, is also his initiative to open the door to welcome the thief. Such an ignorant old man can enjoy the country, it is simply a disorder of heaven, and now it is really a disaster to the common people.

Li Tai patrolled the school grounds for a week under the protection of his own soldiers, and when he heard the indignant discussions of the masses, he was also quite emotional.

Whether it is the ancient imperial court or the so-called elite class in later generations, there is an idea of wanting to educate and guide the common people, but in fact, the real public order and good customs are precisely upheld by the common people, and they are the representatives of a social conscience and morality. Because once they violate public order and good customs, they will be punished very severely, and they will have to pay a greater cost when they connect and interact with others.

On the contrary, it is the ruling class and the elite class, whose position in the social structure allows them to exempt themselves from some of the punishment for violating public order and good customs, so whether or not to abide by public order and good customs really depends on the level of personal quality.

For example, Liu Zhongli and his people can be described as extremely disloyal and unfilial, but they are extremely vicious and vicious, such as Hou Jingdu, who treats them more preferentially. If it weren't for the defeat and capture, the Southern Liang Huchen who is still proud of Handong, the masses would not dare to be disobedient.

After a public trial, when Liu Zhongli was escorted back to the state capital, Li Tai visited him in person, and saw that Liu Zhongli only looked gloomy and his face was as pale as paper, but his physical condition was fine, his injuries gradually improved, and he even drank a few glasses of wine at dinner.

Originally, Li Tai was worried that Liu Zhongli might not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion referred to by Qianfu, but now it seems that he is completely worried about himself. Many times, once the bottom line is broken, that person will become completely bottomless. If Liu Zhongli wants to seek death, he has had many opportunities before, and he didn't have it before, so of course he won't now.

In that case, it is time to continue to increase the efforts. So Li Tai informed Liu Zhongli that he would go on patrol with him next, and of course the public trial was also indispensable.

After Liu Zhongli heard this, his expression stiffened for a moment, and then he nodded again. He knew that he had no room for bargaining at the moment, and even if he refused, he would not be allowed, and he was just humiliating himself.

Therefore, it is said that the husband cannot win the ambition, the battle of Jiankang that day had already made Liu Zhongli lose his will, but he was blindly greedy for Gou An, and directly opened the door to Hou Jing to ask for surrender

It is also not spared. Now in the face of Li Tai, who is even more ruthless, he doesn't even have the courage to refuse.

Previously, Yang Zhong transferred to the wind in the Handong region and accepted many surrenders, although he nominally occupied the entire territory of Handong, but such a conquest was obviously unreliable.

Therefore, while informing the Taiwan government of the results of this stage of the war and asking the Taiwan government to send additional personnel assistance, Li Tai was ready to lead a large army to patrol and make more in-depth adjustments to the personnel of the occupied prefectures and counties.

On this patrol, he was going to lead more than 12,000 people to ride southward through the Suizao Passage, and then turn west along the river to enter Jingling, and stay in Jingling for a few days to deter Xiao Laoqi in Jiangling.

However, after the plan was agreed, the patrol team had not yet had time to set off, and bad news came from the newly occupied Anlu realm, the original Liu Zhongli Changshi, who was temporarily appointed as the Taishou of Anlu after the surrender, Ma Xiu, who was temporarily appointed as the Taishou of Anlu, made an urgent report that there was a disturbance in the city of Anlu, and the powerful Xiahou Zhenqia and other supporters in the city made a rebellion, intending to attack the state city, but were defeated by Ma Xiu and the people, so they left the city and went out of the three passes of Yiyang.

Although Li Tai knew that the current Handong region was still not stable enough, Yang Zhong had just left on the front foot and Anlu on the back foot, which was really a bit of a slap in the face. Ma Xiu's son, the former Yiyang Taishou Ma Bofu, was in Jingzhou, and Li Tai summoned him to ask about the matter.

Ma Bofu was in his thirties, but he cowered and looked a little restrained and frightened when he visited the governor of Jingzhou, who was much younger than him.

It's not because he is too timid, but because after seeing Liu Zhongli being ruined by this manager, he subconsciously feared him in his heart.

Who doesn't have a bit of ugliness to hide? If in the coming year, like Liu Zhongli, his subordinates and cronies will be exposed and announced to the public one by one, they will naturally not have Liu Zhongli's consciousness of seeing through the red dust and the four major emptiness, and they will feel terrible when they think about it.

"Yangquan Hou, Liu Thief, when the Liu Thief was appointed as the Yongzhou Assassin for the King of Xiangdong before, he used to be the general Xiahou Qiang Zhizhi Prefecture Affairs, out of the town of Beiyiyang, Xiahou Zhenqia is his clan, and now the capital governor Xiongxiong governs Handong, but the Xiahou clan has no heart to serve at all......

The local administrative establishment of Nanliang is chaotic and complex, the prefectures and counties are often abandoned, and the names of many prefectures and counties often coincide, coupled with the practice of double-headed prefectures and counties, which makes the establishment of local prefectures and counties in Nanliang as if they had added a password.

Like Liu Zhongli served as the assassin of Sizhou before, and at the same time Yang Yaren served as the assassin of Beisizhou, one was in Zhi'an Lu and the other was in Zhiyiyang, and they did not belong to each other. But in fact, North Sizhou is the original Sizhou, because it was captured by the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it was placed in Sizhou in the south of Yiyang County, and soon moved to the land of Zhilu. Later, the original Sizhou land was recovered, so it became Beisizhou.

However, this superposition of east, west, south and north is even troublesome to the Liang people themselves, and they will omit it when describing it occasionally, such as the Yiyang Taishou served by Ma Bofu before is the Southern Yiyang, that is, the Hubei Xiaogan of later generations rather than Xinyang, Henan, where Yiyang is located, and they are separated from each other by a whole Tongbai Mountain.

Liu Zhongli was appointed by the king of Xiangdong as the assassin of Yongzhou, but he transferred his old post of Sizhou assassin to the general Xiahou Qiang, and took advantage of the chaos of this local establishment and subordination to Xiahou Qiang out of the town of Yiyang.

Looking at Liu Zhongli's move, it is obvious that he wants to establish a separatist force centered on the two prefectures of Yong and Si, and then penetrate into the Huainan region with his minions. But now that the army has been defeated and captured, the hegemony has become empty, but the personnel arrangements made before have laid hidden dangers for the safety of the land area.

This Xiahou clan was based on Yiyang, obviously did not want to recognize and accept the rule of the Western Wei Dynasty over the Suilu region, if he could successfully capture Anlu, then he would have a basis for advancing and retreating, with Anlu and Yiyang as the center, and become a local powerhouse with power across the north and south of the state. However, the two states in the north and south are respectively connected to the two major regions of Handong and Huainan, so the value of the united front of their clans naturally surges.

After listening to this Ma Bo Fu's recital, Li Tai groaned a little in his mind, and immediately sketched out the logic of this Xiahou clan's action, and listening to Ma Bo Fu's words and Xiahou Clan's disgusted expression, it was obvious that the two parties were quite contradictory when they were under Liu Zhongli's command.

Ma's father and son are also Yongzhou Haoqiang, born in Fufeng Ma's, and their own township is not weak, so they will be relied on by Liu Zhongli. as

Today, the Jingzhou Governor's Office controls Suilu, and it also needs to borrow its power temporarily.

In such a situation, it is obviously not good to ignore the demands of the Ma clan to win over the rebellious Xiahou clan. And Li Tai didn't plan to do this, because the Xiahou clan's power layout hit his heart again, that is, the unknown Murong Shaozong.

Although Murong Shaozong's whereabouts are unknown for the time being, it is estimated that he will not let go of Huainan's fat meat based on this posture. If the Xiahou clan is recruited by it, then the three passes of Yiyang and Yiyang that the Xiahou clan now occupy are a passage for Murong Shaozong to enter the Handong region.

Although the Xiahou clan rebelled at the beginning, the two sides have not yet colluded together, but this trend is very obvious.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty was far more powerful than the Western Wei Dynasty, and Murong Shaozong was the most powerful person left in Henan by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and he personally defeated the Southern Liang and Northern Expeditionary Army and put down the Hou Jing rebellion. It is normal for this Xiahou clan to betray Handong and choose Murong Shaozong as the object of refuge.

Of course, even if the Xiahou clan didn't have such an idea, and they dared to openly rebel under the initial decision of Handong, Li Tai also needed an object to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

So he led Yang Zhong to lead two thousand elite cavalry south to Anlu, and summoned the defenders of the other realm to attack the three passes of Yiyang. And he himself led troops to Liyang City, where Zhao Gang and others were stationed, and sent people to notify Hou Zhi and Quan Jingxuan of Eastern Jingzhou, so that they could cooperate in the capture of Yiyang.
