Han Shizu

Chapter 1713 Opportunity
"Besides the two brothers Yuan Tai and Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zei's subordinates also have leaders such as Yuan Qing, Yuan Zhong, Ma Shan, Zhang Yu, Liu Heng, Fei Yong, Mi Gu, Feng Yi, etc. These people, or Yuan Thief Luo Zhi The party members, or the powerful party members, were all named generals by Yuan Thief! Yuan Thief also has a military advisor called Zhang Hong, so plan rebellion with him more often!" Wang Qi lowered his head and said:

"In addition to sending Yuan Zhen to lead the army south, Yuan Thief also sent Yuan Tai and Fei Yongxi to Lingzhou to instigate the Lingzhou party to rebel. I don't know the specific situation."

The latter point mentioned by Wang Qi, Liu Fang is clear, although Yulin is chaotic, but the news is not completely blocked, and the traffic in Yichuan is relatively smooth. Regarding the situation in Lingzhou, he also received a report when he was in Chang'an.

However, he was obviously more concerned about the bulls, horses, and snakes in the Yanzhou rebel army. He sneered, and said to several Han generals in the hall: "They are all unknown people! But it is these unknown people who caused such turmoil." , Huo Lianzhou County, the people are suffering, and the court is tired! Remember these people for me, these will be the thieves you need to kill in the future!"

Liu Fang spoke so harshly that even the generals did not dare to be negligent. They clasped their fists solemnly and said solemnly, "Yes!"

After some questioning, Liu Fang also knew that he would not be able to learn more valuable things from these two captives. After all, they were only small roles in the Yanzhou rebel army, and they were still far away from the core secrets. distance.

However, talking is better than nothing, and there are some gains.After pondering for a while, Liu Fang stared at Wang Qi and the two, and said calmly, "Although your two confessions are of low value, I keep my word, and your heads are saved for the time being!"

Having said so much, it was not because of this sentence. As soon as the eyes fell, the two of Wang Qi felt relieved, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and thanked them a thousand times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

"Don't be so busy thanking you, what you committed is a capital crime, so let's put your head on your neck for the time being!" Liu Fang said: "Stay in the army for the time being, and be the guide of the king's teacher, so as to see the aftermath. You perform!"

"Yes! Yes!" Wang Qi responded immediately: "The villain will definitely do his best to guide Master Wang, and he dare not give up his mind!"

What's more, there was still a little enthusiasm in Wang Qi's heart, and there was a kind of ecstasy. Why did they rebel with Yuan Ke? It wasn't because they wanted a way to make progress, to be prosperous, to be a master.

As for how much resentment and resentment you have towards the imperial court, it also depends on the needs. When instigating rebellion, you have suffered from the imperial court for a long time, but now that you are in another place, your buttocks will naturally sit upright again.

Even, this can be regarded as a huge speculation, but the risk is relatively high, and the gambling needs to be based on the life of the family.But judging from the current results, it has to be said that it is a rare opportunity in this life. In normal times, people with their identities, let alone meeting the majestic King Zhao, would be difficult even for a state official. If you see it, you can still speak up in person, even if you are being interrogated.

In the final analysis, the rebellion in Yanzhou was still a traditional peasant uprising, but there were more activities of Chinese careerists who were dissatisfied with the status quo and collusion activities with foreign races. In Chinese history, such situations are not uncommon. Still in troubled times, basic contradictions exist everywhere.

As for those who follow the thieves, it is for fame and fortune, but it is basically for a better living space, but in the big man, if you want to live comfortably and nourished, you have to enter the ruling class from the ruled within the system.

For most people in the world, the advancement of class is a natural moat in the journey of life. Without great luck and great wisdom, it is difficult to achieve it in a lifetime.

Ordinary methods can’t be achieved, that is, only some radical and risky measures are taken. Killing and setting fire to the golden belt is the last word that has been common since ancient times. Those who rebel may not really oppose the imperial court, maybe they are just to recruit security.

For people like Wang Qi, even if they don't have a deep understanding of this, they still know how to choose based on instinct.Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, turning danger into safety, now, an opportunity is in front of you, from being a traitor to being a lackey of the government and the army. Compared with following Yuan Ke's rebellion, this seems to be a bright road.

The ancestors have long pointed out the way, and the "revolutionaries" dye their official hats red through the blood of "revolutionaries", illuminating their future.Wang Qian didn't think too far, but he also knew that sacrificing the "rebel" brothers was a good way out. This was a blessing in disguise, and perhaps it could be regarded as the ultimate goal of the rebellion.
Wang Qi's promise was too cheap, and Liu Fang naturally wouldn't take his pledge of loyalty seriously. However, if it could be of some use and beneficial to the counter-insurgency, he could try it a little.

"Take them down and treat their wounds!" Liu Fang waved his hands and ordered.

"Yes!"

After Wang Qi and the two retreated, Liu Fang fell into silence again, with a face of contemplation. Seeing this, everyone thought he was thinking about the chaos in Yulin, and did not dare to disturb him rashly.

After a long time, Liu Fang raised his head and asked Wu Ping, "In addition to these two leaders, how many rebels have been captured?"

Wu Ping hurriedly replied: "Returning to the king, there are about two hundred people who are temporarily detained in the fortress. What should we do if we don't ask you?"

"How to deal with it?" Liu Fang said indifferently: "Tomorrow I will officially enter Yulin, and I need something to sacrifice the flag. Let's take the heads of these traitors and do it for Wang Shizhuang!"

As soon as this remark fell, everyone was a little surprised, especially the Northwest generals who followed Liu Fang. Did they know that His Royal Highness King Zhao is not such a cruel person.

The Jinzhou Commander hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, have you killed them all?"

Liu Fang glanced at him: "Didn't I make it clear?"

"My lord, most of these two hundred captives are Han Chinese, and they surrendered voluntarily."

Liu Fang didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "The rebellious Han people are more hateful than the party's thieves, and they should be killed! This is what your majesty said. What do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, even in the midst of winter, the commander of Jinzhou couldn't help but turn pale, sweating coldly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has an order, and the last general must obey it! However, killing these captives can certainly boost the spirit of the army. Morale deters the rebels, but there are a lot of rebels in Yulin, and the general will inevitably worry, when the rebels will be desperate and fight to the death, it will inevitably cause obstacles and damage to the Wang Shi."

"This is not something you should consider!" Regarding this, Liu Fang was very firm. He looked around and said, "I repeat, this suppression of the rebellion does not end with the defeat of the rebels. Your Majesty's respect for Yulin We can't bear the ills of the tyrants, and we not only need to put down the thieves, but also thoroughly clean up Yulin to eliminate those ills, so that the rule of the big man will last forever! As for the rebels, there is only one solution, kill!"

The last word "kill" was uttered loudly and equally coldly and resolutely. Obviously, Liu Fang had a thorough understanding of Emperor Liu's will and was fully prepared mentally.

No one dared to have any objection to this anymore. After all, Liu Fang repeatedly used Emperor Liu's words to explain, and Emperor Liu was also a god-like existence to these generals, and the only instinct was to obey.What's more, for a group of rebels, the more they kill, the more credit they will make. If they figure this out, they will not have any scruples and burdens. Soldiers are never afraid of killing.

"Furthermore, regarding the rebels, the imperial court does not leave any room for it. Your Majesty's intention is very clear. The former edict has also stated that those who nominate the heads of the rebels will be spared death. The choice of life and death is their own choice." , we should only act according to the edict! Do you understand?" Liu Fang said sternly.

"Yes!"

"Today we will rest in Guidebao, and tomorrow we will continue to march towards Yanzhou!" Liu Fang said again: "Notify the envoys Zhang Qixian and Wang Xuanzhen of Yanzhou to prepare for their response!"

"Yes!"

In fact, before Liu Fang went north, some high-ranking officials rushed to Yulin, and that was Zhang Qixian, the new governor of Yulin Road. .

And Zhang Qixian is obviously a promising person, and he is very active in the coexistence of opportunities and challenges. He met Liu Fang in Chang'an and communicated with him about the counter-rebellion before rushing to Yulin.

Zhang Qixian did not choose Xiazhou where Daozhi is located. Although Li Jiqian was also very noisy there, the situation was still controlled by the officers and soldiers. The courage to face this difficulty is worthy of encouragement.

As for the original chief envoy Guo Tong, he was removed from his post and recalled to Tokyo. Now, he is still in Xiazhou, and he is regarded as a brother and sister with Wang Yu.Obviously, the Yulin Rebellion involved all the top nobles in the imperial court, and even if they didn't ask for guilt, they couldn't do anything good.

"Your name is Wu Ping, right?" Liu Fang looked at the general of Guideburg.

"Exactly!" Wu Ping replied respectfully.

"You performed well. I will promote you to two ranks. You will be promoted to lieutenant general, and the guards of Guidebao will be reorganized on the spot to make up [-] sergeants. You will be the advance guard and enter Yulin tomorrow!" Liu Fang said.

When Wu Ping heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.Shi, Dui, Qu, Ying, Wei, once Liu Fang opened his golden mouth, Wuping, a small town general, immediately became a fifth-rank officer of the Han army. What is even more enviable is that this is the general that His Royal Highness Zhao ordered. Can be expected.

Great changes often mean great opportunities. This is true for the rebels, and it is also true for the officers and soldiers. This is the town general of Debao who was the first to taste it.
