Liu Yu frowned: "No, now that I have just left the Beifu Army, I have to recruit the old brothers from the Beifu Army. This is not a good approach. What will others think of me?"
Liu Daogui said with a smile: "Brother, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean is to establish your own power. It doesn't mean that your old brothers who have been with you through life and death will come directly to you now. When I say win over, I mean to win over people like Kong Jing." If you let everyone see that following your elder brother means you have the opportunity to make meritorious service and be promoted, then naturally some people will take the initiative to defect to you in the future."
Liu Yu's expression softened slightly: "But this merit is not easy to achieve. Guarding the granary or pacifying the remnants of bandits will not achieve any great achievements. Even Kong Jing himself did not expect this promotion unless he fought a big battle and eliminated a large number of remnants of bandits. OK."
Liu Daogui looked around, then stepped forward and whispered: "Brother, there is someone who can bring down the remaining bandits. He has already come to our door. It depends on whether you want it or not!"
Liu Yu's expression changed: "What great achievement? Tell me in detail!"
Liu Daogui said seriously: "Brother, do you still remember the Wuxing local tycoon Shen Mufu?"
Liu Yu frowned: "Why don't you remember? The Shen family can be regarded as a big indigenous family in Jiangnan. Shen Mufu and his five sons are all famous for their bravery. During the battle in Luoyang, he also followed the Tianshi Tao Lu Xun has helped us, and we have dealt with him. But this time he was so obsessed that he actually collaborated with Tianshi Dao to cause trouble, and finally ended up defeated and dead. It is sad, but his five sons..."
At this point, Liu Yu's heart moved: "Are the great achievements you are talking about the five sons of the Shen family?"
Liu Daogui said with a smile: "Eldest brother really knows everything. Yes, Shen Mufu died in the battle, but he asked his five sons to take their grandfather Shen Jing and his four brothers to break out. The five sons of the Shen family originally wanted to Then my grandfather and four uncles went to the mountains to seek refuge. However, Officer Shen was over seventy years old and did not want to endure hardship. Instigated by his fellow villager Shen Yu, he went to find relatives and friends of the Shen family elsewhere. As a result, it was Shen Yu who secretly reported to Xie Yan. After learning the whereabouts of Police Shen and his son, Police Shen and his four sons fell into the hands of Xie Yan as soon as they escaped the capture of the Beifu Army and were beheaded in public. The five sons of the Shen family were desperate. The eldest brother Shen Yuanzi and the second brother Shen Yun My son, who used to be on the same team as me in the Battle of Luoyang, has some old friendship. He secretly came to me the night before yesterday and begged me for help."
Liu Yu frowned again: "Third brother, you are confused. The Shen family is a repeat offender of the imperial court. Apart from the three brothers of Tianshi Dao, Shen Mufu has the highest official position and the most evil deeds. If nothing else, he is Your brother Xu Xianzhi, Xu Zuozhi, his father, Xu Zuozhi, was personally beheaded by the then county magistrate Shen Yunzi, and his flesh and blood were even eaten. If you come into contact with these people, once the outside world finds out, I am afraid that you are wearing a military uniform. , I can no longer wear it, let alone how you will face your Brother Xu in the future!"
Liu Daogui sighed: "The Shen family also suffered a lot from Tianshi Dao. Their family was originally a wealthy family in Wu, so they did not need to be involved in this rebellion. However, Sima Yuanxian ordered to recruit troops in Wu, and the Wang family and Xie family were rich. , relying on their own power as local officials, they used all the conscription quotas on these local villagers in Wudi. They wanted to take the opportunity to seize the industry and population of these local tycoons in Wudi, but they had no choice but to do so. If those who can rely on the Celestial Master's Way to retaliate really have the intention to rebel, why didn't they rebel when the imperial court executed Sun Tai and others last year."
Liu Yu nodded: "Forcing the local tycoons of Wu to rebel was indeed a vicious plan of the mafia, and it was also an important part of the civil war in Changdao. However, they were trapped in a cocoon, and they did not expect that the former Qinglong Xi Chao would in turn allow the three masters of Tianshi Dao to have their lives.
They had enough strength to fight the mafia, and with the help of these local tycoons in Wu, the trouble reached such a point. It was just that the mafia responded quickly and sent two powerful armies, the Suwei Army and the Beifu Army, to quell the rebellion. Tianshi
The three guys on the road left these Wu rich people behind to die, but they ran away. The tragedy of the Shen family is almost what happened to the Xu family, Zhang family, Lu family, and Qiu family, and it is not the same as what happened to the Wu family.
Not worthy of sympathy."
Liu Daogui nodded: "Having said that, my eldest brother has always wanted to make an end of the land. Doesn't he also want to take back the land of the high-ranking families in Wu to the country? This Tianshi Dao rebellion is, on the surface, a military issue.
In fact, it is still inseparable from a human heart and a land. If we really kill all the natives of Wu land, then the three Wu lands will completely fall into the hands of the major high-sect families. We will not want to destroy them in the future.
, but it is even more difficult. Moreover, the people of Wu are not towards the imperial court. If these indigenous families are killed and not even given a chance to surrender, then the people here will only further fall towards the Heavenly Master.
Tao, become a constant source of manpower for the demon thieves. If you want to pacify them, I don’t know how much time it will take and how much blood will be shed!”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "So, you mean to ask me to accept the surrender of the five sons of the Shen family? I don't have this power now. Now I can only bring five hundred people to guard the grain depot in Wuzhuang. If I want to accept their surrender
, to pardon these people, at least they must be at the level of Yuan Song, the internal historian of Wu, or Xie Yan, the internal historian of Kuaiji."
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Yuan Neishi has always been kind to others. He is now the domestic history of Wu, but the land of Wuxing has become an empty city. All the people are fleeing in the mountains and do not dare to come out. It is because they were attacked by our Beifu army a while ago.
The robbery was too fierce and the disaster was too tragic. Now Xie Yan's Suwei army was stationed in the Kuaiji area, and the Beifu army was heading north to return home. The land of Wuxing was almost empty. How could they search for the refugees in the mountains?
If they are forced too hard, it is very possible for them to counterattack the prefectures and counties under the leadership of fugitive tycoons like the five sons of the Shen family. Brother, you said that the most important thing now is to calm people's hearts and resume production, then pardon
Aren’t the five sons of the Shen family just trying to control people’s hearts?”
Liu Yu sighed: "Third brother, if it had been anyone else, the pardon would have been a pardon, but the Shen family is different. Their hands are stained with the blood of your brother Xu's family. If you pardon him, you are betraying him."
Brother Xu, is it really worth it?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "To be honest with you, brother, this is the most difficult thing in this matter, but I think you can meet Shen Yuanzi first and see his attitude before deciding how to deal with the Shen family. Of course.
, in the end, no matter what you decide, you must hand them over to Brother Xu. The truth is clear, whether to kill or release, respect his decision. In this way, people's hearts can be restored, and they will not let down their friends, how about it?"
Liu Yu nodded vigorously: "Very good, I'll do as you say!"
