After hearing the news, Li Shan dressed up calmly and set off. He was going to play the leading role of Wei Zhengguang according to the script he had written long ago... By the way, he is the leading actor and the director of this drama.
, he is the screenwriter, and even the props master and scene recorder are all done by him.
Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Bao, you are so brave!
Gu Zao issued a strict order, Yuan Gong surrendered, and all the Tang troops under his command were to treat everyone equally in the supply of food and grass, and there should be no partiality.
You actually dare to withhold food and grass and use bad food to make up for it. Do you think I can't kill you?!
Li Shan believes that some people will see that this is a drama, but at the same time, as long as this drama can be staged perfectly, the uneasy factors inside and outside Mayi can be eliminated.
The reason is very simple. The current initiative is in Li Shan's hands. If Yuan Junzhang's old troops are unwilling to give up and want to achieve something, the only way is to start a mutiny. Even if they cannot make a comeback, they can still cause trouble inside and outside Mayi.
Restless, he led his troops and horses to the Turks in order to seek wealth and power... maybe he would still have Yuan Junzhang's status in the future.
Mutiny cannot occur without reason. In this era, the most likely way to cause mutiny, and the most likely method used by generals and commanders, is to use food and grass.
When Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong and occupied Mayi, Luo Yi defeated Li Jing and raised troops in Youzhou, they all used this reason.
Although Yuan Junzhang had defected to the Tang Dynasty before, he ended up hanging outside the Great Wall with his army, and he had not yet gone to court to see the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, so the grain and herbs sent to Daizhou were barely enough.
In the past few months, Liu Bao was also responsible for distributing food and grass, and sometimes the distribution was uneven...it always depended on the attitude of the other party.
This is understandable, but Li Shan is keenly aware of this.
If someone wants to rebel, Liu Bao's handling methods can be used, so Li Shan chose to act in this play.
As long as you perform well, clearly understand the details, appease the soldiers, and take the initiative to expose weak points, if someone wants to use it again, the effect will definitely be unsatisfactory.
In other words, after this play is completed, the fundamentals will be stable.
It's just that Liu Bao has to take the blame... Li Shan feels a little sorry that Liu Bao is not as stubborn as Liu Shirang. Although his temper is straightforward, he is also flexible.
That's all, as long as no one is killed... Li Shan was thinking in his heart, and when Li Jing takes office, he can say a few more good words.
But before Li Shan could drive his horse out of the alley, the guards from a distance rushed towards him with ugly expressions on their faces.
Was this an accident?
The initiative is in my hands, so nothing should happen... Could it be that someone is going to cause trouble today?
Li Shan's expression was unpredictable, and he leaned over to listen to the detailed report from his personal guards... A quarter of an hour later, in the military camp outside Mayi City, Li Shan's expression was very exciting.
I have written a script, but someone dares to steal the show?!
In a short period of time, Li Shan figured out what happened.
There was indeed an accident.
The first surprise is that Liu Bao is obviously not good at acting. He has done similar things before, but today he was too deliberate. The food distributed was not enough, but shoddy, but Liu Bao still made sarcastic remarks... In the end
This provoked many soldiers to block outside the camp gate and ask for an explanation.
Liu Bao knew in his heart that he must not take action. Once blood was seen, it would not end well. But the problem was that the soldiers outside who gathered to fight did not want to stop. They were already holding knives and guns, and it seemed that they were mutiny.
The second surprise was that at the critical moment, Zhang Sanlang suddenly appeared.
This man was not impressive in appearance, and his position was only that of a small military leader, but he was quite prestigious in the army. He could stop the chaos and suppress the rebels with just a few words.
Li Shan glanced at it for a few times, then ignored it, focusing on Liu Bao who was walking out quickly to greet him.
"Meet the King of Handan."
Li Shan was indifferent and silent, while Liu Bao knelt on the ground nervously and could not get up for a long time.
At this time, a member of the bodyguard quietly squeezed into Li Shan's side and said softly: "Lang Jun, when the incident happened, there was someone investigating outside, and there was someone behind the scenes... Fortunately, Liu Wu and Zhang Sanlang arrived in time."
They really bumped into each other. Li Shan was also speechless, but he was thinking in his mind. Those people Liu Shirang were staring at, who did it?
Seeing that more and more soldiers were gathering, Li Shan no longer delayed, kicked Liu Bao down who was still kneeling on the ground, and cursed: "Yesterday, under the spotlight of everyone, I swore to treat everyone equally, but you want me to break my promise."
To people?”
"Now that Duke Yuan has entered the imperial court, if he hears that his former subordinates were treated so harshly, and then returns to the north in anger, can he bear the responsibility for such a crime?!"
"As a Shuozhou official, I joined the military and acted unfairly, which aroused the anger of the soldiers and almost led to a mutiny. This is a serious crime!"
Li Shan stretched out his hand and tapped Liu Shirang, who was walking over quickly, "Do you think your brother is the governor of Shuo and the county magistrate, so he wouldn't dare to chop off your head?"
"This dynasty has been decided for the first time. The Duke of the country does not know Fanfan. How can a county official be considered to be on the memorial tablet..."
Speaking of this, Li Shan suddenly stopped talking, and his words were too slippery.
Liu Shirang said nothing. Qin Wutong, who was behind him, took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness, Liu Bao has made meritorious deeds in several battles. Please show mercy to your Highness and allow him to make meritorious deeds."
"Do you make meritorious service for your crime?" Li Shan sneered and raised his voice: "Even if you have made great meritorious service, you cannot absolve yourself of the crime."
"Someone is coming!"
Li Shan's face was slightly distorted. That's not how the script was written. There was no mention of mutiny in the script... Although there was no blood, the situation has reached this point and Qin Wutong can no longer let go with just a few words of advice.
Already.
But we can’t really chop off Liu Bao’s head, right?
Liu Bao was indeed at fault. His fault was that he did not arrange proper response measures in advance. His fault was that he should not have been used as a gun by Li Shan when his head was hot.
At this moment, Li Shan saw a person coming out of the corner of his eye and bowing to the ground.
"The recorder joined the army and acted unfairly, passing off the best as good, and he should be punished. However, in the situation here, His Highness beheaded him, causing chaos in the army and instability in Ma Yi. This is not something a wise man would do."
Sure enough, it came out, and Li Shan was slightly relieved, "Are you Zhang Sanlang?"
"The villain pays homage to the King of Handan."
Under the current situation, there is only one person who is qualified to jump out to plead for Liu Bao, and that is Zhang Sanlang, who suddenly arrived and judged that the mutiny had not completely broken out yet.
If Zhang Sanlang hadn't jumped out, then Li Shan could only detain Liu Bao and hand it over to Yousi for disposal. It was impossible to actually kill Liu Bao.
Of course, if that happens, the next thing will not be easy to handle.
Li Shan still had a gloomy look on his face, but in his heart he admired Zhang Sanlang for his quick thinking and courage. Although he suddenly rushed out to steal the scene, he not only did not ruin the scene, but made up for it with added charm.
