Chapter Seventy-Four: Erfeng Erlu, the Fat of the People and the Anointing of the People

Qi Shihao entered the city in a mighty way, and the people along the road were a little confused: "What's the situation?" ”

"Well, that's like ...... Qi Zi Wang Qi? ”

"Qi Zi Wang Qi, the army of Qi Wangfu?"

"Huh? Isn't our Xuzhou from the imperial army? ”

"I don't know, what's going on?"

"What do you mean, just now Dilong turned over, and our Xuzhou City changed its surname?"

"Forget it, let's say a few words, who is in charge of the house is not in charge, we have to live our lives well."

In the procession into the city, Zhang Fu and Zhu Gaoxu were expressionless, and they rode slowly on their horses.

Say a good tough battle!

What kind of tough battle is this?!

I haven't fought yet, so it's over??

"I heard that the prince was brave and mighty, but when I saw it today, the lower officials were really overwhelmed, and I thought it was a fairy who went down to earth......"

Xuzhou Tongzhi Xie Xinrong followed behind Zhu Huan, and the rainbow fart was filmed non-stop.

"How many Xuzhou defenders are there now?" Zhu Huan asked.

"Back to the prince, the original Zhenjiang Mansion army of 5,000 people, and later a total of more than 13,000 people after the transfer of soldiers and horses from various places, but they were punished in heaven...... Ahem, after the attack of the prince's hero, the garrison army died a lot. At present, the exact number of people left has not been counted, but it should be above 7,000 people. Xie Xinrong replied.

Zhu Huan thought about it in his heart and found that this number was already a lot.

The main force of the southern army is still the Beijing camp, no, it should be said that the main force of the imperial army is the Beijing camp.

However, the northern front was weak, and the south was peaceful, so Jianwen continued to transfer troops from the Beijing camp to the northern front, which also led to the emptiness of the Beijing division and was stolen by Zhu Huan.

In addition to the Beijing camp in the southern theater, the two cities of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang were blocked from the outside of the capital, and Huai'an, which was guarded by Mei Yin, the commander of the horses. Compared with these three cities, although Xuzhou is in a critical place, the defenders are actually not as many as imagined, after all, there is Mei Yin, a fierce general, guarding the flank.

However, Zhu Huan's blitzkrieg had already raided Xuzhou in a lightning speed, and the southern army had no chance to react at all.

"How much grain and grass is in the granary of Xuzhou?" Zhu Huan asked again.

Xie Xinrong hesitated for a moment and said, "No less than 700,000 stones." ”

"So much?" Zhu Huan was a little surprised.

Even though Xuzhou is a grain road in the south, how can there be so much grain and grass?

Xuzhou is just a grain road, not a granary. The strategic significance of this city is that it can accept grain and grass from Pei County, and then send it to the southern cities, and in the final analysis, Xuzhou will not have much more grain reserves than other cities.

Before Zhu Huan hit Xuzhou, the estimated grain in Xuzhou should be 100,000 stones, but now it is seven times worse than his estimate!

"Lord Wang, in fact, the grain in the granary of Xuzhou is only 300,000 stones, of which 200,000 stones were transferred from Pei County yesterday and have not yet had time to be transported to various places." Xie Xinrong gritted his teeth and said it all: "The remaining more than 400,000 stones are all embezzled by Lu Wei!" He oppressed the people of Xuzhou, took countless bribes, raised grain taxes privately, and exploited the people. What's even more excessive is that he actually borrowed Xuzhou to locate the grain road, and every time there is grain and grass coming, he has to deduct 20% of it, embezzling military supplies! ”

The reason why Xie Xinrong is so clear about this is because he is Lu Wei's assistant!

Lu Wei is in Xuzhou to cover the sky with one hand, and Xie Xinrong can be in the position of the second in command in Xuzhou, if it is not without Lu Wei's help, it is impossible. But now that he killed Lu Wei and led the entire territory of Xuzhou to surrender to Zhu Huan, he simply said it all in one breath and sold Lu Wei to the bottom to show his loyalty.

Zhu Huan paused for a moment and stretched out his hand behind him.

Cao Xiu walked over and bowed: "Lord Wang." ”

"Is Lu Wei's body still outside the city?" Zhu Huan asked.

"Back to the prince, he was thrown aside."

"Find someone to sew up his head and body, hang him at the head of the city, and expose him to the sun for three days." Zhu Huan thought about it and added another one: "Hang a white cloth around his neck again, and write 'Erfeng Erlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive!'" ’”

"Command!"

Xie Xinrong knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Huan excitedly: "Minister Xuzhou knows Xie Xinrong, for hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, thank His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

Zhu Huan glanced at him and only said, "You are good at doing it yourself." ”

After speaking, Zhu Huan turned around and left, leaving Xie Xinrong alone in the same place sweating.

The potential meaning of Zhu Huan's words is: You are not a good thing, and this king does not attack you because you have merit in surrendering the city. But you'd better do your duty, otherwise the next Lu Wei will be you!

Xie Xinrong seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but is he really clean?

Lu Wei has been in Xuzhou for so many years, Xie Xinrong is his executor, and he has done many evil things for Lu Wei, and his hands are covered with blood.

If it weren't for Xie Xinrong's meritorious service, the first thing Zhu Huan did when he entered the city was to hang him and Lu Wei at the head of the city to vent their anger to the people of Xuzhou, which was all prestige given for nothing.

……

On the head of the city wall of Xuzhou, a corpse wrapped in a white cloth was hung, which attracted the onlookers of the people of Xuzhou and discussed a lot.

"It's scary to hang a dead man."

"Why is this man so familiar?"

"It seems to be...... Lord Prefect? ”

"What? How could the prefect be hanged at the head of the city! ”

"There are still words written on the cloth wrapped around this corpse, is there anyone who can read it?"

"What about Wang Xiucai, Wang Xiucai?"

In the crowd, an old Xiucai in a long shirt was squeezed out, his old bones were almost crushed by a crowd, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here." ”

"Xiucai, can you show me, what are the words written on this cloth?"

"Yes, Xiucai, we are just a scholar here, you can tell me."

"Okay, okay, I'll show you, don't squeeze me."

Everyone was no longer crowding Lao Xiucai, so he took the time to take a closer look at the white cloth on Lu Wei's body, frowned, and said, "Well, this is...... Erlu is the people's fat and the people's anointing, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. ”

The people looked at each other: "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't know, I don't understand."

"What kind of people's fat and people's ointment, what's the matter with this Lu Governor's Mansion eating people, Emma is too scary."

"Nonsense, I still know about fat and ointment, it's clear that the prefect surnamed Lu has refined people into oil and drank it, so don't you die of greasy if you drink oil directly?"

"Idiot, you have to go farming to let you read more books, don't leave here and talk nonsense."

"What the hell, you know what that means?"

"That's a must, how easy is this, haven't you ever eaten lard bibimbap?"

"Nonsense, you make it clear."

"Just like bibimbap, the prefect surnamed Lu must have refined people into oil, cooled them into pieces, and then eaten them with rice."

"Damn, so perverted?"

"No, these powerful people are all perverts and eat everything."

A lot of people were gossiping, and they were all pulled out of the atmosphere.
