Chapter 7: Promotion to General Pingnan
Emperor Yan is also very happy at the moment.
It seems that his gaze is not wrong, Liu Tian is indeed a usable person.
Although he doesn't say it, his body is still very honest......
Immediately afterwards, a series of three holy decrees were issued from the imperial city to Fancheng.
Among them, one rewarded Liu Tian as the general of Zhenbei, and the other rewarded Liu Tian as the new general of Pingnan. The other two are commendations and awards for Liu Tian.
These holy decrees are enough for Liu Tian to glorify his life.
In addition, Emperor Yan also brought an edict.
A verbal message that gave Liu Tian a headache.
"The traitors have been eliminated, but the people of Fancheng have been devastated by the traitors, and the people are struggling to make a living, I hope that General Manager Liu will temporarily take over Fancheng and control ......the military and government, if not, the people will rebel again."
This sentence is undoubtedly another test for Liu Tian.
However, Liu Tian is not afraid.
Liu Tian arched his hand and said loudly: "The minister obeys the order and will definitely complete the errand assigned by His Majesty." ”
His tone was categorical and full of confidence.
Liu Tian knew that this was a temptation, a test. He not only had to ensure the stability of the people of Fancheng, but also to complete the tasks assigned by Emperor Yan.
Now he only needs to do two things. The first is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible; The second is to thoroughly solve the problem of Fancheng.
As long as order is restored in Fancheng, the people will no longer be ravaged by traitors. Fancheng naturally stabilized. This is like a nail, firmly nailed to Fancheng, and no rebels dare to make trouble.
"Greetings to General Pingnan (Liu Tian's official position)."
Liu Tian walked into the conference hall, and everyone stood up in unison and saluted him respectfully.
They all looked different, some were relieved and some were terrified.
Liu Tian smiled and thanked everyone.
He paced slowly, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, the rebels have been eradicated, and you have worked hard. This general will reward meritorious deeds, but first solve the troubles of Fancheng. “
Everyone was silent.
Liu Tian swept around, snorted coldly, and said, "The traitors in Fancheng have been cleared out, but the security problem in the city still exists. These days, there are many bandits wreaking havoc in the city, looting property. General Ben hopes that the generals will assist him in capturing the bandits. “
"Yes!"
The crowd answered.
Liu Tian continued: "General Ben is not very demanding, and he can just distribute food, weapons, and silver money to the people in the city every month. Anyone who participates in this matter will be rewarded with a hundred taels! ”
"The last general is willing to serve the general."
Everyone said in unison.
Liu Tian nodded and said, "Since that's the case, without further ado, let's start immediately." “
Soon, everyone was busy.
Liu Tian did not intervene, but sat alone in the conference hall, closing his eyes and recuperating. He knew that this clearance operation was very dangerous, and the slightest negligence would put him in danger of losing his life.
Liu Tian sorted out his plans for this period of time in his mind, screened the troubles he might encounter one by one, and then made a detailed plan.
Once Liu Tian made up his mind, he was also extremely serious about doing things.
He carefully considered and analyzed all the troubles that he might encounter.
Then, he began to work out a specific plan.
This plan is related to the life and death of millions of Li people in the entire Fancheng! There is no room for sloppiness.
………………………………
Fancheng.
A group of ragged people gathered in the market, all with sad expressions on their faces.
Outside General Liu's mansion, an old man walked towards this side. The old man was dressed in coarse cloth, which looked a little shabby, and his face was wrinkled.
He came to the two guards and said, "The old man is the village chief of Wangjia Village in the east of Fancheng City. Today, our fathers and villagers from Wangjia Village are here, and they want to seek justice from General Liu. Our Wangjia Village was slaughtered by traitors, our homes were destroyed, and our wives were separated. General Liu, please call the shots for us! ”
"That's right! General Liu has to call the shots for us. ”
"Kill the traitor!"
"Avenge the death of the father!"
…………
One by one, the people of Wangjia Village shouted.
The crowd suddenly boiled.
There was anger on people's faces.
This disaster was caused by the bandits of Fancheng.
The people were full of resentment.
Liu Tian frowned.
He knew that the best way to deal with it now was to punish the culprit. Otherwise, it will not be able to suppress the people's will at all.
After all, the emotions of the people are now excited.
If you're not careful, you may make a bigger commotion.
When the time comes, it will backfire.
"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, General Ben understands the grievances in your hearts. However, please believe in General Ben, General Ben will definitely return the people of Fancheng to a peaceful and prosperous era. Liu Tian said loudly.
"Really?"
"General Liu, you must not lie to us."
"yes!"
The crowd admonished.
Liu Tian patted his chest and said, "This kind of thing, why would General Ben lie to you?" ”
Liu Tian's words did not deceive everyone.
He is really ready to reorganize the security of Fancheng and return Fancheng to a prosperous era.
However, these things cannot be said directly, so as not to cause panic and affect his management of Fancheng.
"General Liu, we believe in you!"
"General Liu is brave and good at fighting, he is a real man."
"General Liu, please make the decision for us!"
The crowd shouted.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded: "Wait! What General Liu just said, I forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting. “
The crowd followed the sound and saw that it was a young man who was about the same age as them.
Liu Tian also noticed the young man and smiled, "Who is Your Excellency?" What do you have for advice? ”
The boy walked over with his chest held high.
"General Liu, I am the grandson of the Li family in Qingyang County, Li Yulong."
"It turned out to be Li Gongzi." Liu Tian arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Li Gongzi said to me, what do you think?" ”
Li Yulong said: "General Liu's idea is good, but there is a problem. “
"Oh, what's the problem?" Liu Tian asked.
"General Liu just said that he wanted to give the people of Fancheng a peaceful and prosperous world. However, as far as I know, the situation in Fancheng is worse than in the rest of Qingyang County. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"General Liu, you should know that in Fancheng, in addition to that gang of bandits, there are countless bandits and bandits. Moreover, these rogues are kings of the mountains and control several official roads in the vicinity. If you don't have enough strength, it's hard to drive away these bandits. ”
Liu Tian's brows furrowed.
"General Ben knows this." Liu Tian said in a deep voice, "However, General Ben will dispatch troops to exterminate this gang of bandits and bandits." ”
"General Liu, this is just a stopgap measure."
Li Yulong shook his head and said, "General Liu, these bandits and bandits are entrenched in the mountains and forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If General Liu sent soldiers, it would be difficult to win. It may even lose a lot of soldiers and cause heavy casualties. ”
When Liu Tian heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "What Li Gongzi said is extremely true. However, at present, the situation in Fancheng is critical, and there is no room for delay. ”
Li Yulong sighed and said, "General Liu, I also hope to clear the rogue in the city as soon as possible. However, the situation in Fancheng is really worrying! ”
"If Li Gongzi has anything to say, just say it." Liu Tian asked.
Li Yulong said: "The food of the people in the city is becoming more and more tight, and the price of food is soaring. Now it is a grain of rice and five copper coins. If this continues, I am afraid that in the near future, the people of the county will not be able to open the pot. ”
"How can there be such a thing?"
Liu Tian exclaimed.
