A knife in love

Chapter 2004
Qi Jiu has been silent for a long time. He shook his head when he listened to Wang Xiaoyu, and said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Miss Wang doesn't know something. Since ancient times, if someone wants to make trouble in the city, the first thing to do is Even if he wants to open the prison and release the prisoners, Yelube is just following the example. This man has read many books written by Han people since he was a child, and these books are indeed not in vain.”

Wang Xiaoyu didn't expect Qi Jiu to speak for Feng Wei. He was very dissatisfied, raised his eyebrows, and said in his mouth: "Why haven't I read these things in the book, are you lying to me on purpose?"

Qi Jiu said in a deep voice: "It is clearly written in the book. When Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, raised his troops, with the help of Xiao He and others, he first opened the prison in the county and released the prisoners. Later, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and others all acted like this."

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Miss Wang, you probably heard that Mr. Shu told the story of the heroes of Wagang Village? There is a passage about Cheng Yaojin, Xu Maogong and other heroes in order to fight for their lives. Qin Shubao was rescued from the military camp of Yang Lin, the backer king, and he sneaked into Dengzhou City and set fires everywhere, making Yang Linkong have hundreds of thousands of troops, but he had nothing to do with the heroes. Ms. Wang still remembers that after Cheng Yaojin and his gang set fire, they immediately did a What's the matter?"

When Wang Xiaoyu heard Qi Jiu say this, he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Of course I remember. This book is called Nao Dengzhou. Cheng Yaojin and You Junda set fires around Dengzhou City together, and opened the book again. The state prison has released all the prisoners."

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he couldn't help but frowned, thought for a moment, and then continued: "Cheng Yaojin and Xu Maogong are both great heroes, great heroes, although You Junda's martial arts are ordinary, but he usually steals from the rich and helps the poor." , have done a lot of good deeds. It stands to reason that they are all good people, why did they open the prison and release those prisoners like Yelubei when they made a big disturbance in Dengzhou?"

Qi Jiu interjected: "Although the stories told by Mr. Storyteller are not necessarily true, but in all dynasties and dynasties, whenever someone wants to make trouble, he will break the prison in the city and release the prisoner. There are two biggest advantages in doing this. One is that most of the prisoners are vicious, and they have been locked up in prisons by the government for a long time. Not to mention that they don’t have enough food and clothing every day, and they are also bullied by the prison boss and guards. Once someone releases them, they will kill and set fire everywhere in the city, rob property, and rape prostitutes. As a result, the city is in chaos, and the officers and soldiers are only concerned with arresting the prisoners who murdered and set fire everywhere after escaping from the prison. Those people can take advantage of the opportunity, and when the officers and soldiers are searching everywhere in the city, they will attack the yamen and kill the officials. At that time, the officers and soldiers in the city will be leaderless, so they will naturally be no match for the rioters."

When Qi Jiu said this, seeing Wang Xiaoyu's thoughtful look, he continued: "The second advantage is that these prisoners know that once they are arrested by the government, they can only die. And not only If I want to lose my head, I am afraid that my parents, wives and children will not be spared. In order to survive by chance, they have to follow the rebels to fight against the government, and there may be a way out. Most of these prisoners are fierce. armed with knives and guns, they are more vicious and vicious than the officers and soldiers. With the help of these prisoners, the rebels are more confident in dealing with the officers and soldiers who come to put down the rebellion. Therefore, since ancient times, when someone makes a rebellion in the city, the first thing to do is to break the prison. Let the prisoner out."

Wang Xiaoyu suddenly realized that after hearing what Qi Jiu had said, she did not refute for the first time, but just nodded and fell silent.Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's appearance, Feng Wei thought to himself, this little girl has no knowledge at all, so it's useless to talk to her.Thinking of this, Feng Wei ignored Wang Xiaoyu, and went on to say to himself: "It was not until after the daylight that Yelubei appeared in front of everyone with a dozen of his cronies. Several prisoners had their eyes red. , Although Yelubei and others stopped him, he refused to stop, and continued to kill people and steal money. Yelubei cut off the heads of several prisoners neatly, scaring the rest of the people from acting recklessly.

"Yelubei frightened everyone, so he claimed his identity. When everyone heard that he was Yelubei, the king of Dongdan Kingdom, they couldn't believe it. Yelubei told everyone that he was framed by treacherous ministers, and he was the king of Dongdan in name. The king of the kingdom of Dan is actually no different from a prisoner. He was imprisoned in the palace every day and suffered a lot. But he finally found a chance, killed the prime minister, and escaped from the palace. Now the treacherous officials in the court are in power, framing Zhongliang, Only by killing all these treacherous ministers can there be a way out.

"The prisoners released by Yelube raged in the city for most of the night, killing thousands of people. The rest of the people fought hard and fought hard with the prisoners. At that time, the people didn't know that the prisoner was released by Yelube. Thinking that he was the savior who came to rescue the people, they all fell to their knees and begged Yelubei to drive away the prisoners and save the people from the fire and water. Although the prisoners were moved by Yelubei's rhetoric, they still hesitated in their hearts. The leader said loudly to Yelubei, we are all survivors of the Bohai Kingdom. When the country was broken, we knew that the Khitan people would not let us go. The reason why we can survive to this day is that the Khitan people want to force us to work for them. Now Bohai The country has perished, even if he helps Yelubei kill the treacherous officials in the court, it will not be of any benefit to them, the survivors of the subjugated country.

"Yelubei told everyone that for more than a hundred years, Daliao and the Bohai Kingdom have never violated the river, and there has been no war. It was only the treacherous officials in the Liao court who slandered the emperor and tricked the emperor into sending troops to attack the Bohai Kingdom. If those treacherous ministers were killed this time, Yelubei would definitely persuade the emperor of the Liao Kingdom to return the old land to the people of the Bohai Kingdom. From then on, the two countries became good friends of Qin and Jin, and they would never fight each other again.

"Those prisoners heard what Yelubei said, and knew that Yelubei was the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom, so they believed what he said. The people and prisoners in the city gathered one after another. Yelubei selected [-] strong men from them and compiled them into a group. He sent an army and led them to the capital of Liao Kingdom.

"Although Yelubei was trapped in Dongdan by Yelu Abaoji, the imperial court did not issue a decree to abolish the name of the crown prince, so every time he came to a city, Yelubei used the name of the crown prince to open the city gate. Then he did the same thing, first opened the prison in the city and released the prisoners, causing chaos in the city. He took the opportunity to lead soldiers and horses into the Yamen, beheaded the officials, and then tricked the people and prisoners to join his army. Within a few days, Yelubei He already had an army of more than 3 people under his command. He led the team and marched westward, until they reached the capital of Liao Kingdom.

"At that time, Yelu Deguang had just rushed back to the capital. Hearing that Yelubei had led an army outside the capital, Yelu Deguang and Shuluping were shocked. Both of them knew that Yelubei was good at using soldiers. If they fought, I'm afraid it's not his opponent. Moreover, when Yelu Abaoji was alive, although he suppressed Yelubei a lot, he didn't issue a decree to abolish Yelubei's crown prince. Among the royal nobles and court ministers of Liao Kingdom, many people There is no ill feeling towards Yelube. If Shuluping and Yelude simply do not allow Yelube to enter the city, or even send troops to kill Yelube, even if they can win this battle, I am afraid that the Khitan nobles and ministers will not be convinced, and there will be chaos. Yes Although Yishuluping and Yelv Deguang had 1 reluctances in their hearts, they finally had to open the city gate and let Yelubei enter the capital."
