Tan Zhi's expression changed drastically, and he shouted directly: "Tao rules, it is absolutely forbidden."
Liu Daogui turned around and looked at the surprised Tan Zhi, Tan Daoji and Dao Yan, and said calmly: "Why not?"
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth and said: "This will tell the rebels all the truth and falsehoods in the city. Moreover, if this is done, Jiangling will be undefended. I am afraid that all the Jingzhou sergeants guarding the city will escape."
Yanzhi also said: "Yes, there were people clamoring just now for defecting to Huan Qian. What we need to do now is to find out these traitors and punish them in order to deter the scoundrels. How can we do the opposite?
Let them come and go as they please?"
Liu Daogui said seriously: "Actually, didn't you hear it just now? These people from Jingzhou are not ungrateful people. Although there were casualties in the war between Jing and Yang in the past, some people in Jingzhou are resentful towards us, but in the face of national justice, everyone
We know who is the most ferocious and terrifying enemy. At least in the past few years, the country has not treated Jingzhou badly. It has reduced taxes, encouraged farmers to teach mulberry trees, and sent troops to protect them. All of these have been done. People's hearts are made of flesh. Under our rule, it is better than
I had a better life under the Huan family before, but now I go to the demon thieves or the Qiang captives. Is it possible that I will be better off than this?"
Tan Zhi gritted his teeth: "But now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, I don't rule out that someone will take the opportunity to turn against the enemy. As Yanzhi said, aren't there people in the city who are already making secret arrangements with the enemy?"
Liu Daogui laughed: "Yeah, we can't stop it anyway. Doesn't it mean that our army doesn't have to fight the enemy now, but is just here to catch spies in this city to guard against our own people? Ah Ji, with all due respect, if you do this, you will only
It will make more and more people turn to the enemy out of fear and fear. Because in this way, it proves that we can no longer defeat the enemy and can only use high-pressure policies to make our own people panic."
Speaking of this, Liu Daogui sighed: "I think back when we were building Yi in Jingkou, Huan Xuan clearly had a hundred thousand troops in his hands, but he didn't dare to directly fight with our rebel army. Instead, he searched for Wang Yuande, Wang Zhongde, Tong Houxing and others in the city.
A righteous man, this is because he is afraid in his heart, thinking that all the soldiers and civilians in the city are spies and are trying to harm him. Not only that, he does not let the Beifu army go to fight. He only dares to let his Jingzhou sergeants be the vanguard. Wait until Wu Fuzhi and Huangfu Fu
After these generals have been defeated by us, if you use the Beifu army again, you will only defect on the battlefield. Even if you have a powerful army, if your heart is not strong enough, you will be completely defeated. How did we win back then? How did Huan Xuan lose? You guys
Don’t you even remember?”
The three generals all had gleaming eyes and were lost in thought.
Liu Daogui turned back and pointed at the people who were also discussing in the city, and said: "If the people of Jingzhou and we can never be of the same mind, then even if we defend Jiangling this time, we will be alienated from morality in the future, and we can only rely on the army to suppress it. Once we leave, there will be rebellion here."
, If you rebel again, you may break away from the rule of Jin forever and become our enemy. I have received the trust of my eldest brother and the trust of the country to guard this place. What I want is for Jingzhou to truly integrate into Jin and achieve long-term peace and stability.
The surface was calm for a while. In this time of crisis, I still believe in the loyalty and integrity of the people of Jingzhou. I do not believe that all the people in Jiangling will rebel and surrender to the enemy!"
After Liu Daogui said this, he continued to speak loudly: "If everyone is afraid of fighting and feels that their lives are in danger if they stay in the city, then it is human nature to leave this dangerous city now. For those who stay, our army will provide protection for those who leave.
, we will never stop it, I, Liu Daogui, have made a public promise in the name of the governor of Jingzhou and will never break my promise!"
Uncle Cang's voice sounded below the city, matching the "squeak" sound when the city gate opened: "Liu Governor, thank you for trusting us Jingzhou people so much. If we continue to rebel and cause trouble, we will be beasts worse than pigs and dogs.
! Folks, have you seen that Governor Liu really wants to protect us, the Beifu army is really fighting for us, and that Huan Qian, the barbarians he recruited are raping and killing our brothers and sisters, he
Not only is he a traitor to the Jin Dynasty, but he has also betrayed the lord of the Huan family for generations. Even if he is a descendant of the Huan family, he is no longer worthy of being a descendant of the Huan family. If anyone goes out to seek refuge with Huan Qian, I, the old man, will be the first to fight with him!"
As soon as these words came out, many people shouted, but a loud voice still said loudly: "Liu Governor, do you really want to let us all go? If we want to defend our homeland, do you dare to give it to us?"
Are we distributing weapons? It’s not just lip service, right?”
Liu Daogui laughed: "Why don't you dare? Come here and open the door of the arsenal for me. Those who want to participate in city defense operations and defend Jiangling can register and let them choose weapons and armor."
As soon as these words came out, even the faces of the people in the city who had looked unbelieving just now changed drastically. Uncle Cang burst into tears with excitement, knelt down and said loudly: "The governor is so righteous, I will wait for you."
The people of Jingzhou will remember Wu Nei, and we will definitely work together with the governor and the soldiers of Beifu to protect Jiangling!"
The dark crowd all knelt down and followed Cang Bo in unison: "Work together to protect Jiangling! Work together to protect Jiangling."
Uncle Cang stood up from the ground and waved to the people around him: "Young and old men, what are you still waiting for? Come with me, an old man like me, to get weapons and kill thieves." As he said this, he walked towards the arsenal.
He left, and thousands of strong men, and even many women, followed behind, like a long dragon.
Liu Daogui smiled and nodded. Tan Zhi behind him looked at the bustling scene below the city and sighed: "Daogui, you are really yours. Treat people with your heart, and you will win people's hearts. However, if you open the city gates wide and take weapons at will, what if?"
If there are really a few traitors causing trouble, I'm afraid there will be problems."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "As long as most of the elders are on our side, even if the thieves and spies make trouble, they can't escape everyone's eyes. In the past, they might have regarded the Beifu army as enemies, and the Jingzhou people had a blood feud with the Beifu brothers.
These banners are hidden among the people, but now that it is clear that the vast majority of Jingzhou people will not rebel, they will not dare to use these shady tricks, because the people of Jiangling will not help them hide and escape!
"
Tan Daoji laughed, looked at the arsenal in the distance, and said: "These days, we have tried our best to recruit young people in the city to join the army, but few have responded. Brother Daogui, these few words of yours have attracted so many people."
Being willing to join the army has really opened my eyes. Now Jiangling City can suddenly have tens of thousands more troops. It is also feasible to attack and defeat the enemy all the way. I am willing to lead 20,000 troops to attack Huan Qian.
!”
Liu Daogui shook his head: "No, I will lead the troops myself!"
