When Liu Yu said this, he changed the topic: "However, my good friend Liu Muzhi reminded me that although the rebellion in Wu was caused by monsters and thieves, it was also because of improper promulgation of government affairs and the military conscription order that destroyed the people of Wu. The centuries-old agreement with the imperial court has been made, and the interests of the local tycoons have been unconditionally deprived, which will lead to chaos due to resentment. To put down this war, we cannot just rely on killing, but also need to clean up the hearts of the separated people."
"The five sons of the Shen family followed their father in rebellion. Their father and uncle were executed and they paid the price for their crimes. Although they committed crimes, they were repentant and willing to atone for their crimes. The court can pardon such people. , then why do we, the soldiers on the front line, want to kill them all? It is easy to kill the five sons of the Shen family, but it will allow 5,000 households to continue to cause chaos to the end, and let 50,000 or 500,000 households in Wudi who have followed the demon thieves be wiped out. The path to repentance and renewal!”
"Then how much more blood do we have to shed and how much more time do we have to spend to clean up this situation? Even after it is pacified, Wudi is completely ruined. Where will we find people to come here to farm and weave, and how will the country be here? How about levying men, collecting taxes, and supporting us?"
Shen Qingzhi suddenly clapped his hands: "Liu Canjun said it so well!"
Bao Sizhi reluctantly raised his lips: "Well, since Liu Canjun said so and the court pardoned them, I won't argue with them for the time being. However, I hope that the five Shen brothers can really fight with Liu Canjun. It's the same thing as they say, change your mind, be a new person, and redeem your sins with practical actions. I heard that this time the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao came back again, and some natives of Wu who were hiding in the mountains came back to rebel and cause trouble. Huh, these people are just like that. There is no chance of getting a pardon anymore, we must kill without mercy!"
Shen Yuanzi said loudly: "This is natural. I was abandoned by the demon thieves last time and realized my mistake. My father and uncles also died for it. What we hate most now is that they deceived us into causing chaos in the first place and then deceived us. The demon thieves we abandoned can be said to be full of regret and sworn with them. This time, Brother Jinu took the initiative to go to the front to help quell the rebellion. We also selected more than 300 warriors from among the villagers to go south with him. , just for revenge!"
Bao Lou laughed: "We have been making trouble for a long time, and now we get to the point. I have been wanting to ask Liu Canjun why he is here. Did the Jiankang court give you an order to come to your rescue immediately? The monsters and thieves are causing trouble. The news reached the court so quickly, and the troops were ordered to be sent out so quickly? Or did Marshal Liu ask you to go ahead?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I did not receive any orders from the court, nor did I receive military orders from Marshal Liu. However, Liu Muzhi, who had just returned from Kuaiji, informed me of the raid by monster thieves in Kuaiji. Only this news That was enough, so I immediately gathered all the subordinates I could dispatch and rushed to support General Xie in Kuaiji. I left in a hurry and didn't even bring any luggage. So I came to you because I wanted to trouble Magistrate Bao to provide some dry food. Give us something to eat on the way."
Bao Chou's face changed: "Well, Liu Canjun, you are the Kai Cao Canjun of the Beifu Army. It is your duty to guard the Wuzhuang Warehouse. Now you are absent from your post without permission. If we are held accountable afterwards, I'm afraid For military law."
Liu Yu said seriously: "The military situation is like a fire. If we report it slowly according to the usual procedures or wait for orders to be issued, we may lose the opportunity to fight. Anyway, I, Liu Yu, have acted on my own many times in the Beifu Army, and I don't care if I violate it one more time." Regarding military discipline, if we can reverse the situation of the war and put down this rebellion, then I, Liu Yugan, will be engaged in military law."
Shen Tianzi raised an eyebrow and rushed to say: "We brothers are also willing to undergo military law together with Brother Liu."
Bao Sizhi sneered and said: "You are not our Jin generals, so why should you be punished by military law? Don't join in the booing."
Liu Yu shook his head, pointed to the military uniforms and armor on their bodies and said: "Mr. Bao, let me remind you again that they have accepted the recruitment and pardon, and their current identities are state and county soldiers in Wuxing County and the personal guards of Yuan Neishi. , the people sent to assist me in guarding the Wuzhuang grain depot were of course the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. This time they followed me south. When I left the city, Yuan Neishi came in person and agreed to their transfer, even though I, Liu Yu, was detained by the military law. , and they are fine because Yuan Neishi allowed them to go on the expedition."
Bao Chou rolled his eyes and said, "Did Yuan Neishi really agree to send troops?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yuan Neishi is not very good at military affairs, but he also knows that rescuing troops is like putting out fires, so he came here to ask for my opinion. I have three hundred people from Kuding, plus three from the Shen brothers." More than a hundred people, as well as another 100 government officials assigned by Yuan Neishi, totaling 800 warriors, were the first batch to set off. They were probably the first people in the entire Jin Dynasty to go to Kuaiji for rescue. Yuan Neishi was recruiting people in Wuxing. Ding Zhuang, the second group of people may arrive here in a day, and Magistrate Bao will be asked to receive them then."
Bao Hou nodded quickly and said: "Mr. Yuan is from a high-ranking family and has extraordinary knowledge. Since he took office recently, he has loved the people like a son and has been a role model for us and other local officials. Since he has done this, I have nothing to say. Si Zhi, aren't you clamoring to go to the front line? Then my father will give you this opportunity now."
Bao Sizhi excitedly clapped his hands with his fists and said with a smile: "My child, listen to your orders!"
Bao Hou said: "Immediately select 200 strong men in the county, join your 300 county government garrison, and quickly set off with Liu Can's army. Along the way, you will be controlled by Liu Can's army and are not allowed to act without authorization. We will arrive at Shanyin in Kuaiji." Behind the city, listen to Commander Xie’s military order, do you understand?”
Bao Sizhi was slightly startled: "The three hundred county government guards are here to protect you, father. If the child is taken away, what will you do?"
Bao Hou shook his head: "If the front is defeated and the bandit army comes, what will happen with these three hundred people? I don't understand military matters, but Liu Canjun is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles and is famous in the world, and Marshal Xie is even more so. They have commanded countless battles, so you just have to obey their orders. Liu joined the army, he is young and frivolous, and has not had much actual combat experience. I ask you to support me and be tolerant along the way."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Master Bao is devoted to the country and is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. With County Magistrate Bao understanding the righteousness and sending troops to help, the frontline has a better chance of winning. It shouldn't be later. Let's set off now."
Bao Sizhi curled up his lips and said: "Well, Liu Yu, you are Kai Cao joining the army. I am the army leader and captain. The military position is higher than yours. Now that the matter is urgent, I can act with you temporarily. , but everything must be discussed, you can't order me. After all, I am still a subordinate of Commander Yan, not your Beifu Army. Just like Commander Yan and your General Liu, they are not subordinate to each other. My father is a civil servant. These You may not know much about things in the military, but you should understand."
