But Zhao Yun said word by word: "Lv Yi, you killed people and sold goods, slaughtered villages, 3,000 people have died in your hands, do you admit these things?"
Lu Yi also sneered: "I just killed a few rebels. I reported this matter to the court, and I am also a hero. You are a big-headed soldier. Do you dare to name your superior? I will let him walk around without eating."
!”
Zhao Yun drew out his long sword and said loudly: "My lord has captured General Liu Xuande, and now I am ordered to take your life!"
"Okay, I remember Liu Xuande! Liu Xuande!" After a long time, Lu Yi remembered that this is Liu Bei! He can't deal with the powerful gentry of the entire Jizhou family! And his uncle can't restrain the generals who want to invade, strictly speaking
It is said that the biggest official in Jizhou now is Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun no longer wanted to spare Lu Yi's life, what he had done was enough to cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts, Zhao Yun slashed Lu Yi with blood!
Lu Yi looked at Zhao Yun in shock. He did not expect that Zhao Yun would really kill him, and he didn't care about his uncle. Killing him was like killing a commoner.
He said with difficulty: "You actually want me to pay for the life of the common people. My uncle will not let you go!"
After saying this, Lu Yi died!
Zhao Yun didn't look at him at all, but said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone related to Lu Yi will be arrested and shot to death if they dare to stop him!"
Zhao Yun is considered a good-tempered person, but when he came to his hometown this time, he couldn't hold back his anger. His hometown has become a purgatory, which is why he has such murderous intent!
The businessmen around him immediately shouted: "This is none of our business. This is the first time we have seen this Lu Yi. Why are we being arrested?"
Zhao Yun said coldly: "What did you say to Lu Yi?"
Several businessmen looked at each other and said, "We are looking for Lu Yi to buy some slaves!"
Zhao Yundao: "These are not considered accomplices. Take them all away with me. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"
"It's unjust!" several businessmen cried heartbreakingly.
But they didn't dare to make any move to resist. The white-faced general was too lethal, and they were also afraid that Zhao Yun would just give them a sword regardless.
They were just buying some slaves, but they didn't expect to get involved in the internal fighting in Jizhou's official circles.
These businessmen are all well-backed and politically sensitive. They know that as long as their families are alive, they will find ways to save themselves. If they die, it will be all over.
Zhao country, wilderness!
Zhang Fei marched quickly with 10,000 cavalry, but not long after, he saw a small hill at the intersection!
He stopped the army from moving forward and took a few personal guards up. But not far away, he smelled the smell of blood. When he got closer, he realized that this was a Jingguan composed of thousands of people. This Jingguan was old and weak.
There are women and children.
Below the Jingguan is a stream composed of blood. The stream shows a strange red color and winds and flows into the distance. Zhang Fei moved forward further and found that there were densely packed headless corpses behind the Jingguan. From their clothes, he knew they were
Ordinary people, but now they are exposed in the wilderness like this!
Zhang Fei and others have also experienced hundreds of battles, and such a scene is not enough to scare them. But on the battlefield, either you will kill me, or I will kill you. That is life and death, wealth and honor are in the sky, and no one will think it is a big problem.
.But this kind of massacre of ordinary people gave people a completely different feeling. Zhang Fei was shocked by the cruel way the nobles treated the people.
This has never happened before. Even during Zhang Jiao's uprising, Huangfu Song killed soldiers captured by the Yellow Turban Army. Although everyone felt that it was harmful to Tianhe, no one would say anything. After all, rebellion is a capital crime. This
It can be considered as well deserved.
Now these common people did not rebel at all, but they were inexplicably massacred by Jizhou's noble families. This behavior was simply outrageous. There is no government in the world that massacres its own people. Zhang Fei thought that everyone in Jizhou was crazy.
Then Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to collect the bones of his villagers. Because they could no longer tell who was who, they dug a big pit and buried them together!
The anger in his heart could not be endured and he said: "They are killing innocent people indiscriminately! Let's go and avenge these dead people!"
After saying that, he led his army to a Wubao not far from Jingguan, and without any explanation he led his soldiers to attack the Wubao.
"Everyone, please kill him without mercy and avenge the people of Zhao State!"
The soldiers also shouted angrily: "Kill!"
They are all ordinary people, and they can empathize with such things even more! The people in Jingguan may be their names!
The owner of Wubao inexplicably found that his home was surrounded by people, and it was also the army of the Han Dynasty!
He immediately climbed up the city wall and shouted: "General, have you made a mistake? My family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and we are not thieves!"
Zhang Fei yelled: "I am going to kill you butchers who commit thieves and bandits in the name of loyalty!"
This Wubao had just been built, and the walls were neither high nor deep. Zhang Fei conquered it in one wave. The soldiers who entered Wubao killed everyone they saw, killing all the people in Wubao!
After the killing, Zhang Fei said: "Leave a few people to watch here and distribute the money and food to the people around you!"
"Next, let's continue to kill. As long as we see Jingguan, I won't leave any Wubao within a 10-mile radius!"
Late at night, Weijun, Yecheng.
A huge army gathered at the gate of the city.
The city gate slowly opened a small crack, and the soldier guarding the gate stretched out his head and asked loudly: "Zhang Yan has been defeated by us, what are you doing here?"
Guan Yu led his men to rush forward and quickly seize the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city were shocked and said: "The Yellow Turban Thief is here again, everyone, be careful!"
The defenders yelling like this really woke up all the soldiers at the gate of the defense city, and the defenders immediately surrounded us!
But Guan Yu loudly said: "I am Guan Yu, a subordinate of General Liu Xuande, the general who is seeking to suppress the enemy!"
At this time, the soldiers recognized Guan Yusong and said: "General Guan, you are trying to scare us to death!"
Most of the soldiers here have fought under Liu Bei, so naturally they know Guan Yu!
Guan Yu said: "I took over Yecheng under the orders of General Tulu!"
After saying that, soldiers from behind continued to pour in, and the entire Yecheng city defense
The soldiers in Yecheng were all moved and confused, but Guan Yu was a 2,000-shi Zhonglang general and their former superior, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions!
After occupying the entire city of Ye, Guan Yu sealed off the entire city, and no one was allowed in or out!
It was not until the next day that the officials of Wei County discovered that Guan Yu had taken control of Yecheng!
The prefect of Wei Commandery led a group of soldiers to find Guan Yu angrily and said, "Guan Yunchang, do you want to rebel? Who asked you to take over the city defense of Wei Commandery!"
But Guan Yu said expressionlessly: "Collect their weapons!"
Hundreds of soldiers rushed over and confiscated their weapons and captured the people brought by the Wei Commandery Prefect!
The prefect of Wei County said angrily: "Guan Yunchang, I am the prefect of 2000 shi appointed by the imperial court. If you dare to kill me, the imperial court will not let you go!"
Guan Yu did not reply to his words, and then said to his personal guards: "Control the officials in the whole city and confine them to their mansions! Get the eunuch's seal to control the city defenses in each county, and also control the officials in other counties in Wei County
live!"
"No!" The soldiers followed the officer's orders.
At the same time, Guan Yu sent 5,000 cavalry in the wild to sweep all directions in Wei County. Anyone found killing people would be killed without mercy. Soon the situation in Wei County was under control.
Grain death
When the powerful nobles of Wei County discovered that the officials of Wei County were controlled by Guan Yu, they were frightened to death. They either hid in their Wubao or fled to Jidong. They were afraid that Liu Bei would follow Zhang Yan's example and massacre them. Don't blame them.
Such cowardice, because basically all the bold nobles in Wei County died!
Liu Bei's behavior caused a sensation in the entire Jizhou officialdom. They did not expect that Liu Bei would dare to go against them like this.
At this time, the judge came to Liu Bei and said, "Does Mr. Xuande really want to make the entire Jizhou an enemy?"
Liu Bei said coldly: "You are the ones who don't care about the life and death of the big man. Who gave you the right to kill my people? You are rebelling. As a general who seeks to suppress prisoners, I naturally have the right to suppress you. I have reported your behavior to the court."
, none of you can escape!"
Shen Pei said: "Gong Xuande should be responsible for what Lei Gong did in Bingzhou. Lei Gong is the source of cholera in the world. He killed the gentry, deceived the people with the idea of equalizing the land, and even used the people to judge people in order to stimulate their ambitions.
Officials, noble families, and powerful gentry have caused the yin and yang of the Han Dynasty to be reversed. There is often no order, no order at all levels, and moral decay.
Shen Pei sneered and said: "Now these people have been bewitched by Lei Gong and Zhang Yan. If we don't kill them now, they will rebel against the imperial court when Lei Gong comes. If the nobles and nobles don't kill them, they will kill the nobles."
Gentry.
I have never been a murderous person, not even a military general. If I kill them, I can't be granted a title. Why would I commit murder? Jizhou is my hometown! It's because now I can't kill them. I have to kill them. Kill them.
If you are afraid of them, Jizhou will be stable and then it will be time to re-establish principles, morals and etiquette."
As a famous scholar in Jizhou, Shen Pei originally looked down on the greedy nobles and corrupt officials. However, he had a neutral attitude towards the Han nobles and the common people. He even sympathized with the common people and agreed that the government forced the people to rebel.
This statement.
Even before Lei Gong appeared, Shen Pei himself had a strong hatred for corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry. Because he knew that it was these corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry who were preying on the big man and destroying the order of the big man.
Therefore, Shen Pei is an outlier in Jizhou's officialdom. Although he is capable, he has never been promoted and can only do some petty officials. If he has a choice, he also wants to kill all the corrupt officials in Jizhou.
.
However, the greatest ideal of Shenpei is that the king is wise and the ministers are virtuous, the local officials work hard for the court, the local nobles are benevolent and moral, and assist the government in treating the people well. The whole world is like a hot land during the Three Dynasties period.
But Shenpei never thought of destroying the wealthy gentry and powerful gentry, nor did he think of destroying the current system and changing the world.
As the noble families of Bingzhou fled to Jizhou, they also brought Lei Gong's policies. From these people, Shenpei discovered that under the action of Lei Gong, the local order of the Han Dynasty had been completely destroyed by Lei Gong.
The Tengjia Army only supported the poor and stirred up the ambitions of the people. They used the method of dividing fields and land to tear apart the harmonious relationship between the gentry and the people in the countryside, and led the people to massacre the powerful gentry and the powerful gentry.
The entire Bingzhou has become a purgatory, with countless noble families wailing in this purgatory.
Although Shen Pei looked down on corrupt officials, he could not accept that his ideals of gentry governing the place and officials assisting the king in managing the country were completely shattered. This was equivalent to denying what he had learned throughout his life and denying his political ideals.
.
Because he found that there was no soil for powerful gentry and powerful gentry in the territory of Lei Gong, Lei Gong wanted to completely destroy the Han Dynasty.
This was not allowed by the judge. After seeing Xu Wei's behavior, the judge decided to choose the lesser of two evils, so he united with the nobles and nobles to suppress ordinary people.
The person he wants to kill the most right now is Lord Lei. He believes that only by killing Lord Thunder can the Han Dynasty be at peace. However, Lord Thunder has hundreds of thousands of troops to protect him, so he won't be able to kill him for a while. Shen Pei can only kill those affected by Lord Thunder first.
People, please don't let Thunder God's ideas spread to Jizhou. In Shenpei's opinion, even if you kill 1 million people, it's still worth it!
Liu Bei sneered and said: "Why didn't you say that it was you who were the first to destroy the rules and morality? If you hadn't been complicit with corrupt officials, the people of the world would not have been forced to rebel by you!"
"There are conflicts between the nobles and the common people, but most of them are caused by the greed of the nobles. Even if you have thousands of acres of fertile land, you still don't let the common people get their footing.
If you think that you are an official of the Han Dynasty, you should do things to curb the annexation of noble families, control the greed of the powerful gentry, safeguard the clans, and maintain harmony and friendly order in the countryside. How could the world be in such chaos?
You were supposed to stand on the side of the people and maintain the order of the Han Dynasty, but instead you collaborated with the nobles and nobles to oppress the people, and now you are shamelessly saying that it was the people who destroyed the order of the Han Dynasty! The Han Dynasty fell to this point because there were too many officials like you."
After saying this, Liu Bei shouted: "Come here, arrest Shen Pei and wait for the court's decision!"
Although Shen Pei was arrested, he did not resist, but said: "Mr. Xuande, sooner or later you will understand that this is the only way to stabilize Jizhou!"
Soon Liu Bei completely controlled Jizhou with his 130,000 troops. The officials in Jizhou were unable to resist at all. At the same time, Liu Bei sued the officials in Jizhou to rebel and reported everything that happened in Jizhou!
The Luoyang court quickly received Liu Bei's memorial, and the memorials from the governors from various places in Jizhou also came to Luoyang City. They also sued Liu Bei, saying that he killed the gentry, gathered property, and wanted to rebel!
All these memorials came to the chancellery of the Han Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Ling was seriously ill and rarely dealt with government affairs. Government affairs in the court were handled by Ma Rixi. Military affairs were jointly handled by Lu Zhi, the minister, and Zhu Jun, the great craftsman.
.
The battle to encircle and suppress Zhang Yan was the work of the two of them. They reconciled Liu Yu with the Xianbei people and wanted to use the Xianbei people to contain Xu Wei.
But none of them expected that Xu Wei would be so active in fighting the Xianbei people and would mobilize his main force to fight against the Xianbei people.
When they learned that Lei Gong was attacking the Xianbei people's territory, they thought it was a God-given opportunity, so they devised a strategy to eliminate Zhang Yan.
After confirming that Lei Gong had really gone to Mayi, they quickly ordered Liu Bei to attack Zhang Yan, and asked Dong Zhuo to lead an army of 30,000 to hide in Hukou Pass, waiting for the opportunity to go to war.
And the two men lived up to their reputation as famous generals of the Han Dynasty. As expected, they completely annihilated Zhang Yan's tribe in one battle and reversed the situation of the Han Dynasty.
Zhu Jun looked at these memorials and looked at Lu Zhi, speechless for a long time.
"Ziqian, this Liu Xuande is your disciple. You should know him very well. Please tell me what he wants to do, to control the officials of the entire Jizhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is treason for such a thing!"
Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Although you may not believe it, I don't know much about Xuande, and even have a poor impression. It was probably in the fourth year of Xiping (175) that he worshiped me as his disciple, but it was not A good student is not good at studying Confucian classics, but a poor boy likes to hang out with Gongsun Zan's famous disciples. He is not good at studying but likes dogs, horses, music, and beautiful clothes. He can be regarded as a relatively poor student of mine. I thought he would have no future,
So we had no contact for more than ten years. It was Bo'an who commissioned Xuande to farm, and I realized that he had become the person with the highest official position among my disciples. In the past few years, he had been out of control, leading an army of 100,000 to suppress the north. It can be said that he has done well in the wars in the north and south in recent years.
In the past few years, I began to pay attention to Xuande, and I found that he was completely different from before. He was good at fighting and martial arts, he was kind and loving, caring for his subordinates, and loyal to the Han Dynasty. It can be said that Xuande now can be regarded as a Han Dynasty. The pillar of our country’s protection has been established.”
"I think 70% of what Liu Bei said is true. After all, if he really wants to go for a rebellion, the first person he wants to win over should be the noble clans in Jizhou, instead of going against the entire wealthy clans in Jizhou like he is now!"
Zhu Jun then searched all the memorials from Jizhou and compared them with Liu Bei's memorials, and finally saw the differences between the two groups.
"It seems that the nobles in Jizhou killed too many people, which aroused Xuande's dissatisfaction, so he took control of the entire Jizhou officials!"
Lu Zhi picked up Liu Bei's memorial and frowned and said: "They didn't kill just a few people. According to Liu Bei, corpses were scattered all over Jizhou and everywhere in the capital. If Liu Bei hadn't stopped them, they would have killed millions of people." , they also set a quota, each county must kill one tenth of the people, they are really officials of the Han Dynasty, why do I think they are barbarians on the grassland, what do these Jizhou clans want to do, no wonder Xuande said They want to rebel, so if I were in Jizhou, I would control them all!"
Zhu Jun sighed and said: "What else could it be? It's just revenge. Zhang Yan has been causing harm to Jizhou for three or four years. Most of the noble families in Jizhou have died in Zhang Yan's hands. Zhongshan, Zhao and Changshan , places like Wei County have been in Zhang Yan's hands longer than the imperial court. It can be said that these places are full of Zhang Yan's accomplices.
Although the nobles in Jizhou killed Zhang Yan, how could Zhang Yan alone make them angry? They would naturally take revenge on Zhang Yan and his associates. Moreover, Zhang Yan had robbed all their property, and they wanted to restore the family business. , obviously taking advantage of the people is the fastest way!"
Zhu Jun also consulted senior officials and analyzed the memorials reported by the two parties to guess what happened in Jizhou.
Lu Zhi said angrily, "Now that Lei Gong has not been defeated, Xiliang has not yet been settled, the people are living in poverty, and the country is struggling. However, the nobles and nobles in Jizhou are so disrespectful of the imperial court. If they do this, they are not afraid of forcing another Zhang Yan to come! They want to kill millions of people. How brave, who gave them the right to do this?"
Then Lu Zhi said thankfully: "Fortunately, Xuande was in Jizhou and stopped their behavior and prevented their deeds from continuing to expand, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Zhu Jun said helplessly: "It is difficult to stabilize the situation in Jizhou. Zhang Yan, Lei Gong and Zhang Jiao are different. Zhang Jiao was originally a world-famous alchemist. He made friends all over the world, including officials from the imperial court and local celebrities. , even if he rebelled, he only targeted the imperial court, and did not target the local powerful gentry."
"The local nobles and powerful gentry can tolerate the Yellow Turban thieves and even use the Yellow Turban thieves to rebel against the court."
"But since Lei Gong was born, the yellow scarf thieves in Jizhou have targeted the local nobles and powerful gentry. The wars in recent years have caused heavy losses to the powerful nobles and gentry in Jizhou, even more than the losses in troubled times, so the two sides The conflict is acute and has reached the point of life and death. The elimination of the Yellow Turban thieves has become the common goal of Jizhou. This cannot be stopped by Liu Bei alone."
Lu Zhi worriedly said: "Then what should we do? The imperial court can't watch the wealthy gentry in Jizhou massacre the common people of the Han Dynasty! How will the common people in the world view the imperial court if this matter spreads out? If the imperial court does not control their behavior, other people will How can the noble families in the prefectures and counties care about the majesty of the imperial court!"
Zhu Jun also felt confused: "If His Majesty can still control the government at this time, there is still a way to solve this matter. However, His Majesty has not been in court for more than a month. Does the Taiwei have much experience in handling government affairs? I don't have much experience either. Prestige can control the imperial court, but now the imperial court is leaderless and is afraid that it will be difficult to find someone to control the officials in Jizhou."
"Xuande's move is easy to attract suspicion. If he continues to control the officials in Jizhou, all his civil and military officials will suspect that Xuande wants to rebel and stand on his own feet."
Lu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Now the imperial court still has the prestige to control the entire Jizhou officialdom and restrict their killing behavior. Only the Yuan family, the Yang family, the Zhang family and the Cui family are the big noble families. If you choose among them If one person becomes the shepherd of Jizhou, he can also control the situation in Jizhou!"
Zhu Jun smiled bitterly and said: "The shepherdship of a state is so important. Who dares to make decisions except Your Majesty? Let's sum up these matters and report them to Your Majesty, and come down and make a decision!"
Lu Zhi said helplessly: "It's really not the right time to get sick. This disease not only caused turmoil in Jizhou, but also caused us to lose the best opportunity to deal with Lei Gong!"
Zhu Jun thought for a while and said: "Lei Gong is powerful, not comparable to Zhang Yan. If the imperial court wants to deal with Lei Gong, it must be prepared for a 10-year war. Such a war must be fought by Huangfu Yizhen. We still propose to His Majesty that Huangfu Yizhen come back." , use Xuande to replace Huangfu Yizhen to suppress the Xiliang rebellion."
