Han Shizu

Chapter 118 Pu Yin
Qizhou, in the northeast of Zhending, was separated from Dingzhou at the end of Tang Dynasty, and governed by Wuji. It is a southwest-northeast-oriented zone, with a narrow and long territory of nearly a hundred miles, but the territory is not large.Because it is located in the frontier, there are not many households, and after several wars, the three counties under its jurisdiction add up, and now Dingkou is less than [-]. Pay attention, it is Dingkou.

Liu Chengyou took Bai Zairong, the former Jin general, as Qizhou's defense envoy, and led his old troops to garrison Wuji.When the Khitan went south to attack and harass, they went out of the city to attack and took the initiative to fight in waves. In the end, they lost more than 500 soldiers and returned with more than half of the losses.

However, there is no such thing as undefeated in battle, and a defeat can slightly lower the vigilance of the Liao army and reassure them.However, Bai Zairong, it's fine if he loses a battle, he is too stupid, greedy and violent, and there are only a thousand soldiers and civilians in Wuji City, so he can scrape a piece of land.

The oppression and extortion caused the people to live in dire straits, and the people's grievances boiled over, and the grievances spread to Liu Chengyou's ears.For this, Liu Chengyou was furious.After entering the true state, Liu Chengyou has been trying hard to create an image of being close to the people and loving the people. In the end, Bai Zairong, a violent general, was appointed by Liu Chengyou, and to a certain extent, his reputation was the one who lost, how could Liu Chengyou not be angry.

He even had some scruples, he had appointed a lot of generals before, if they were all like Bai Zairong, there would be no need to talk about winning people's hearts, and he would be able to bring peace to the world.

In Wuji's dilapidated yamen, Liu Chengyou directly dismissed Bai Zairong from his military post, disarmed him, disarmed him, and sent him back to Zhending.The expression was very calm, but Liu Chengyou's mind was filled with disgust, he patted the table lightly, and did not relieve his anger.

"This Bai Zairong, how dare he complain about injustice!" He cursed softly.

According to Liu Chengyou's original idea, he wanted to kill him, but Wei Renpu dissuaded him.Therefore, for the first time, Liu Chengyou showed dissatisfaction with Wei Renpu.

"Your Highness, there are so many warriors like Bai Zarong in the world. Killing them may give you a moment of anger. But in the eyes of other former generals, it is easy to arouse their fear, which is not conducive to the stability of the country!" Liu Chengyou can feel Angry, Wei Renpu persuaded calmly.

Wei Renpu's statement obviously couldn't convince Liu Chengyou, and he glared at him: "Such a villain who is cruel to the people, there will be people complaining about it? Killing a thief will win the hearts of Qizhou people, why not?"

Wei Renpu was silent for a while, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, then he arched his hands and said slowly: "Your Highness, since the Tang Dynasty, warriors have ruled the country. There are countless people like Bai Zarong in the world, like the sand in a big river, but These people, holding soldiers and horses, governing the prefectures and counties, are the cornerstone of the country. What's the use of killing only one Bai Zairong, can they kill everyone?"

"If you don't kill Bai Zairong, Your Highness only needs to publicize his evil deeds and announce his crimes. Even if this person can survive, what will others think? They will feel the kindness and tolerance of His Highness and the court, and their resistance will disappear. .The country is just established, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. Everything should be based on the stability of the country.”

Wei Renpu's words were heard in his ears, and he was very familiar with them.Liu Chengyou remembered that when he was still in Luzhou, Gao Fang also said similar things to Liu Chengyou because of Wang Shouen.

"It's exaggerated! Bai Zairong can cause chaos in the world?" Liu Chengyou showed a little irritability, and retorted: "What kindness and tolerance are useful to these arrogant and violent fighters? I'm afraid it will make them even more arrogant and unscrupulous!"

It can be felt that Liu Chengyou seems a little anxious these two days.Looking at that face that was as cold as iron, Wei Renpu said in a heart-to-heart tone: "Your Highness has the desire to eliminate serious illnesses and clarify the world, but this matter cannot be rushed, and it must be tolerated for a while. , don't engage in emotional disputes!"

Taking a few deep breaths to calm some abnormal emotions in his heart, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Forget it, let it go, it's useless to talk more."

He closed his eyes, and after a while, when he opened them again, Liu Chengyou seemed to have discarded all negative emotions, and ordered: "I won't stay in Wuji any longer, rest for half an hour, and go to Puyin."

"Who will take care of the aftermath on Wuji's side?"

"Let's Li Yun!"

Puyin, located at the northeast end of Qizhou, is a small town, more than 140 miles away from Zhending.This small town is now a prominent point in Liu Chengyou's control area. Originally, he could give up directly, but there is a temptation here that is hard to give up.

The city's medicinal resources are too rich. Since it was occupied, the villagers have been organized to search for it, and provided a large amount of medicinal materials for the Longqi Army.However, Liu Chengyou didn't come here to take a stroll in this medicine city.

More than [-] Yan army infantry have been mobilized here in batches by Liu Chengyou.These people have been carefully selected, and they are basically Youyan people. They yearn for their homeland and have no intention of going south to join the New Dynasty's Forbidden Army.

Liu Chengyou came here with Zhao Yanshou, and led him personally, instead of inspecting it.Sure enough, the Yan generals still gave him face and were willing to be his subjects.

The news of sending troops to the north has spread throughout the Yan soldiers. In order to boost morale and reduce their fear, the information about the emptiness of Youzhou was also revealed.Liu Chengyou set a goal and slogan for them: Go home!
Not to go to war, not to deal with the Khitans, or to go home and reunite with relatives.At the same time, Liu Chengyou also made people publicize that in Youzhou, in order to retaliate against the Yan army's betrayal in Luancheng, the Khitan people persecuted their relatives in Youzhou in various ways. Come.

"King Yan, what do you think?" Liu Chengyou asked Zhao Yanshou, leaning on the railing and looking around the camp on the fortress.

Putting on the armor again, Zhao Yanshou, who has changed his image, looks radiant, as if he has the pride of "looking down on the world" back then.

Glancing at Liu Chengyou, looking at his calm side face, Zhao Yanshou had mixed feelings about this young man.A bit of admiration, a bit of displeasure, and a bit of doubt.

The eyeballs slowly rolled around twice, concealing a little cunning, and asked: "Your Highness, with this army and Gu, can you really trust Gu?"

Zhao Yanshou, a little deliberately calling himself a widow in front of Liu Chengyou, is still making the final test arrogantly.

Liu Chengyou turned his head and looked at him, his bland eyes made Zhao Yanshou a little embarrassed.

"I have given my heart and soul to the King of Yan, how can the King of Yan betray me?" Liu Chengyou's tone was full of "emotion": "The matter has come to this point, I treat each other with all my heart, and I have no regrets!"

Talking nonsense with his eyes open, Liu Chengyou was already very smooth, except for his stiff expression.Of course, Zhao Yanshou would not take it too seriously.

"Your Highness, I admire you alone." Zhao Yanshou replied.

"King Yan, it's time to think about how to take Youzhou!" Ear said, ignoring these useless words.

Mentioning this, Zhao Yanshou's expression also became serious. He looked to the north, narrowed his eyes, and said a little confidently: "As long as you can come to the city of Youzhou, Youyan can take it!"

　Thanks to the book friend Wendiao Xinlong for the reward.

　　PS: Some people are talking about the identity of "Shatuo people". Have you really understood what constitutes the establishment of the Later Han Dynasty?I don't understand what kind of mentality this kind of person is, deliberately causing war?
