Chapter 321 Give you three feet of white silk (four-in-one, eight thousand-character chapter
The eyes of the Su Gu family members and slaves who were brought up by Liu Cheng's soldiers suddenly turned red when they saw Yang Song kneeling on the ground.
If Liu Cheng, the person who upheld justice for them, was not standing here, the situation would be different at this time.
According to their current state, they had already pounced on this guy Yang Song, punched and kicked him, and bit him to death!
"thump!"
"thump!"
"thump!"
…
After seeing Yang Song, these close friends of Su Gu, whose eyes were red and their eyes were about to burst, knelt directly in front of Liu Cheng.
"Uncle Emperor, you have to make the decision with my uncle!
The person who killed my uncle, named Zhang Lu, was actually Yang Song, a thief!
The Yang family is a powerful family in Hanzhong and has frequently committed illegal acts!
Acting arrogantly!
In the past, many times he openly and secretly opposed my uncle and the imperial court!
I have long had a great grudge against my uncle and the imperial court!
Later, Zhang Lu led his troops into Hanzhong. Yang Song immediately began to contact Zhang Lu and did evil things to my uncle...
This, this thief...will...kill my uncle..."
A man about the same age as Liu Cheng knelt on the ground, pointed at Yang Song, and began to accuse.
The anger in my heart materialized directly and came down from the corner of my eyes!
A continuous stream of drops fell to the ground.
On the side, Yang Song, who knelt on the ground first and expressed his position and attitude to Liu Cheng, could not help but shrink his eyes after seeing these people brought up by Liu Cheng's soldiers.
My heart can’t help but sink!
Because he knew one of them and knew he was dead, Su Gu’s nephew!
Ever since Su Gu was dealt with and discovered that Su Gu's nephew and several close followers were missing, Yang Song and Zhang Lu sent people to look for him.
Just haven't found it yet.
Later, when the war broke out, they stopped looking for him.
I just thought this matter was over.
But I didn't expect that these damn people would come to Liu Cheng at some point!
He is a smart man. After seeing Liu Cheng's attitude and the appearance of these people, he was basically convinced.
Damn Liu Cheng, he just wants to kill the donkey!
I'm going to kill him!
However, I still have some luck in my heart.
I feel that the Yang family is a powerful family and plays an important role in Hanzhong.
There should be room for redemption.
He immediately said: "Uncle Huang, this matter is different from what they said. It was clearly Zhang Lu who coerced me...
However, this matter has already happened. I am indeed involved in the death of Governor Su. At this time, I really can't argue.
No matter how I say it, I can't explain it clearly.
In order to make up for his own sins, he showed his determination to repent.
At the request of the subordinates, I resigned from the post of Chief Registrar of Hanzhong.
Return home to the people.
He is also willing to donate half of his family property and send it to Chang'an to build a palace for His Majesty, and do his best.
Please ask your uncle to fulfill your wish."
I have to say, this Yang Song is really a character.
His mind works very fast and he is very decisive.
In an instant, he figured out a way and made such a big concession at once!
That’s half of the family property!
The Yang family has been in Hanzhong for many years.
I don’t know how much wealth I have accumulated for a long time.
Half of the family property is really not a small amount!
Even Liu Cheng, looking at Yang Song at this time, felt a little admiration for this guy.
However, the more he admired it like this, the more determined he became in his heart to get rid of Yang Song.
It is too dangerous to keep such a person!
For Hanzhong, it is like a cancer!
He can do that to Su Gu and do that to Zhang Lu.
Liu Cheng doesn't think that in the future, at the right time, this guy will give him special treatment!
Liu Cheng is a person who cherishes his talents and is also a decisive person.
Some things touch his principles, and he will not waver because of them.
There is no need for someone to remind me by saying something like, "Have you seen what happened to Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo?"
This will strengthen his determination to kill Zhang Lu.
At that moment, he shook his head.
Yang Song immediately despaired when he saw this.
He was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said with trembling: "I am willing to ask for three feet of white silk and give 80% of my family property to the court to repent.
I would like to express my sincerity in repenting, and I would like to ask the emperor's uncle to grant my permission."
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng was silent for a while and then said:
"Some mistakes should not be made. Once they are made, they cannot be resolved by putting down the butcher's knife and repenting.
If this is the case, how can there be any fairness or reason in this world?
No matter how big a mistake you make, it is impossible to get rid of it just by crying twice and shedding two tears to express repentance!
Su Gu was an official of the imperial court and the governor of a county.
You just murdered him like this, and it's impossible to end it easily.
However, God has the virtue of good life.
There is also human kindness outside the law.
Seeing that you have a good attitude, I will boldly deal with this matter first.
When the time comes, return to Chang'an and intercede with the Emperor and the Prime Minister on your behalf!"
Yang Song never thought that he would one day ask for death.
Moreover, he still knelt down and begged others to let him die!
After someone else agreed, I actually felt as if I had accepted this person's love.
I still need to be grateful to this person!
But now, these things that he had never thought about before have really happened!
In the past, as long as I thought about it, I thought it was impossible. Now, I have actually done it by myself...
"The common people pray to the emperor to give him paper and pen, so that the common people can leave a few words with the stupid younger generations in the family to wake up future generations."
Liu Cheng nodded: "Okay."
As soon as the voice fell, soldiers came up with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Along with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, three feet of white silk were also brought up.
After Yang Song thanked Liu Cheng, he lay down on the ground and began to write.
In an extremely depressing atmosphere, with many people watching, it took a long time before I finally finished writing a letter.
I held it in my hand and looked at it carefully for a while.
After the ink dried, he held it with both hands and raised it to Liu Cheng.
"I beg your uncle, please pass these last words to my family members."
Yang Song's move had two purposes.
The first is to reassure Liu Cheng and let Liu Cheng know that there is absolutely no content in his suicide note such as revenge.
Moreover, it was intended that after Liu Cheng saw the sincere content in the suicide note, some other emotions would arise in his heart.
Being able to treat his family as promised, or even better than promised.
Secondly, it is also to let people in the family understand his intentions.
Definitely, don’t even think about avenging him!
Don't do anything illegal under Uncle Liu Huang.
Under Uncle Liu Huang, he was not even forced to make three moves.
Not to mention those members of the family who are far inferior to him...
If they really do this, their Yang family is really not far away from decline!
And he died in vain!
"Thank you, uncle, it's time for the common people to hit the road!"
Yang Song looked at the suicide note he had written, accepted it, and said this to Liu Cheng.
Then he put his hands on the ground, took the three-foot white silk, and stood up.
Walk towards the middle of the city gate building.
In the middle of the city gate tower, there is a big bell hanging.
The clock is used to tell time.
Or it is used to call the police in case of emergency during war.
Yang Song put the white silk in his hand on the shelf hanging the big clock.
Yang Song, who had always seemed very decisive and calm before, was shaking violently at this time.
I threw the white silk in my hand onto the shelf several times, but couldn't get it up.
In the end, I had no choice but to stop.
Turning around and looking at Liu Cheng, he saluted and said: "Uncle Emperor, the hands of the common people are shaking badly. I would like to ask the Emperor to send some soldiers to come and help the common people."
His demeanor still seemed relatively calm, but his body was shaking violently.
Liu Cheng nodded, glanced to the side, and immediately the guards passed by.
He took Bai Ling from Yang Song's hand and put it on the shelf easily.
He also very considerately helped Yang Song to hold Bai Ling in place for hanging.
Yang Song thanked the soldiers and looked around to the northeast and west where there was no stepping stone.
He said to the soldier again: "Excuse me, please hang me up."
He spoke so calmly, but his body was shaking like chaff.
When the soldier heard this, he squatted down and picked up Yang Song.
Send Yang Song's neck into Bai Ling.
"That's it."
Yang Song held Bai Ling in both hands, tied it under his neck, and said to the soldiers.
When the soldiers heard this, they gave up their hands.
Yang Song's neck was hung on Bai Ling.
The feeling is naturally unpleasant. As soon as I hung it up, my neck and face were already red.
Then he started struggling wildly...
In front of the city wall, those Hanzhong officials who had accompanied Yang Song went out to welcome Liu Cheng into the city.
Looking at the scene happening in front of them, everyone turned pale with fright, lowered their heads, did not dare to look there, and did not dare to express their anger.
Liu Cheng, on the other hand, kept his expression unchanged and just watched quietly.
He waited until Yang Song stopped struggling and waited for a while before giving the order.
Yang Song, whose face was livid, his tongue was hanging out, and he was making faces, was taken off the rope...
After doing this, Liu Cheng turned his head and looked at these Hanzhong officials with a smile, looking back and forth at them.
Then he spoke out: "Zhao Zhizong, Shen Shuzuo, Gongsun Zhuji, Zhao Jishi..."
Liu Cheng nodded six people in a gentle voice.
Looking at them, he said kindly: "Master Yang has left, what are you going to do?"
These six people were deeply involved in Su Gu's death.
Of the six people whose names were called by Liu Cheng, some looked pale, some were sweating like pulp, some were shaking like chaff, and some simply collapsed on the ground.
Some people knelt down, kowtowed, and cried bitterly.
Some people directly excrement and urine flow, making it extremely filthy.
Among these six people, none of them were as elegant as Yang Song.
However, Liu Cheng was determined to strike while the iron was hot and sort out Hanzhong, and he would not hesitate due to this.
Seeing that these people were unwilling to take action on their own, he gave the guards around him a look.
Immediately, warm-hearted personal guards came over to help these six people and do this.
In order to help these people on their way quickly, someone also sent some white silk ribbons.
At once, four pieces of white silk were placed on the shelf of the wall clock, and four people were hung on it at one time.
Efficiency was immediately improved.
I don't know if it's an occupational disease.
Liu Cheng stood here, looking at the four people hanging motionless on the shelf, and inexplicably thought of the big fan fat that had been disemboweled, split in half from the middle, hung on the meat shelf, and sold.
pig!
Shaking his head and throwing this unreliable idea out of his mind, Liu Cheng continued to deal with things here.
After dealing with the seven most lawless people in Hanzhong, headed by Yang Song, Liu Cheng looked at the rest of the Hanzhong officials and some of the leading figures from powerful families with a smile on his face.
Many of them were so frightened that they expressed on the spot that they would follow Master Yang's example and donate 80% of their family property to the imperial court.
Liu Cheng laughed when he heard this and said, "What are you talking about?
Is the emperor such a person who loves money?"
Saying this, Liu Cheng, the emperor's uncle, then said that the emperor's life was indeed difficult, and with their donations, life would be much better.
He also said that the emperor would never forget them.
Then, the soldiers were asked to bring up some people.
These people were also the victims of Liu Cheng's troops when they conquered the land of Hanzhong.
It was the knife that Liu Cheng specially prepared for these people in Hanzhong.
The knife that left them speechless.
Our Uncle Liu Huang has powerful military force, but we must be reasonable in our actions!
With the appearance of these people, some people who originally felt at a loss suddenly became honest...
Of course, our uncle Liu Huang's skills are not so simple.
Know how to use both grace and power.
I know how to hit a stick and give a sweet date to eat.
After using reasoning and physics to deal with Yang Song and other famous powerful worms in Hanzhong, and beating many people.
Liu Cheng began to change his strategy and began to give these remaining Hanzhong officials some benefits.
He was very skilled at doing this.
After some operations, these living Hanzhong officials were very afraid of him, but they couldn't think of anything against him.
In just half a day, Liu Chenggong impressed himself deeply on the hearts of Hanzhong officials and powerful families.
The entire Hanzhong was put into mourning, making the situation completely different.
In half a day, he completed what the former Hanzhong Governor, Su Gu, had spent several years on, even at the cost of his own life, and could not complete it!
I have to say that on some matters, Liu Cheng really takes action and is very efficient.
The results are also very good...
…
"Uncle Emperor, if you deal with these officials and powerful families in Hanzhong like this, I'm afraid it will have some bad effects in the future."
Zhao Yun, who had returned from leading his troops to do some tasks, heard about some of the things Liu Cheng had done at the gate tower of Nanzheng City and saw Liu Cheng reporting on the tasks, so he brought the topic to this matter.
He looked a little worried and said this to Liu Cheng.
Zhao Yun was from a low background and had seen a lot of darkness and suffering in the world.
I also wanted to make this world different.
However, in the context of the entire era, there is no such ability and no hope.
Until by mistake, I met Uncle Liu Huang...
To be honest, Zhao Yun was actually very happy that the emperor's uncle did such a thing as soon as Nanzheng City was defeated.
However, when I think of the various places in Xichuan that the emperor will attack later, I can't help but feel worried for the emperor.
The methods the Emperor's uncle used this time in Nanzheng City were extremely ruthless.
In the future, the aristocratic families and powerful landlords in those places will know what the emperor's uncle did here in Nanzheng City.
There are many, but I’m afraid I won’t compromise easily if I lose them.
He would stand on the opposite side of the emperor's uncle and help his enemies.
Therefore, Zhao Yun would say such words at this time.
When Liu Cheng heard what Zhao Yun said, he couldn't help but smile.
He handed a piece of watermelon to Zhao Yun and motioned for him to sit down and eat.
Then he said: "These aristocratic families and powerful landlords are the cancer of the place and the scourge of the Han Dynasty.
They are the main factors leading to local instability.
They invaded land, bent the law for personal gain, and opposed the government overtly or covertly.
They can even kill officials who don't agree with their wishes...
Unless these people and forces are eliminated, it will be extremely difficult for Hanzhong to be brought under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Now that I'm here this time, I'll sort it out.
To avoid trouble in the future.
As for Yizhou, there are other places that have not been conquered.
Those aristocratic families and powerful landlords will resist and will be targeted because of this..."
Liu Cheng said this and grinned: "Then let them resist!
The biggest fear is that they don’t show up!
They all showed up, and when the time came, they were all taken away at once.
Save trouble.
It’s better to leave a stable Yizhou!
Other officials will coddle them and compromise with them, but I, Liu Cheng, will not!
If you can, stand up and make a fuss!
Let’s see if it’s because they are making a lot of noise or because the butcher knife in my hand is sharp!”
Zhao Yun, who had finished chewing a piece of watermelon beside him, put down the rind of the watermelon and stood up, his body stretched as straight as a spear.
"Zhao Yun is willing to be a pawn! Follow the emperor's uncle to kill these people!"
Liu Cheng smiled and nodded to Zhao Yun, then handed over a piece of watermelon again, indicating to Zhao Yun to sit down and continue eating the melon.
He continued: "Actually, in this incident, I am mainly targeting those aristocratic families who commit crimes and make excessive noises.
Those who made some small mistakes with little harm were ignored.
Moreover, not all of these people are assholes.
In addition, we are punishing thieves under the imperial edict, which represents orthodoxy and righteousness.
If this kind of operation continues, the obstruction will naturally increase.
However, it will not reach the point where all the aristocratic families and all the powerful landlords will come to resist us..."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he knew that the emperor's uncle had already made his own considerations on these matters.
Therefore, I won’t say more.
The two said a few more words, and Liu Chenggong turned his attention to Dingjun Mountain.
There, the results should have already come out...
…
Dingjun Mountain.
According to his brother's instructions, Zhang Wei was executed in the dark, and Zhang Lu, who led the troops to Dingjun Mountain, was shot away.
Yang Bai paused for a while and then began to send men to Liu Cheng's subordinate Hua Xiong.
He said that the rebellious Zhang Wei had been punished, and now he asked Liu Huangshu's subordinates to take over the affairs of Dingjun Mountain.
Hua Xiong and Li Su, who was born in Bingzhou and could be considered a fellow villager with Lu Bu, have become very reliable men under Liu Cheng after going through so many things.
Therefore, Liu Cheng had already secretly told Hua Xiong and Hua Xiong what Yang Bai might do.
At this time, Hua Xiong and Li Su were not surprised to see Yang Bai sending people over and saying such things.
They quickly acted according to Liu Cheng's previous secret instructions to them.
Hua Xiong led his soldiers and horses to guard the military camp, and asked Li Su to lead his troops and go to take over Dingjun Mountain...
Dingjunshan received it very successfully.
This can be seen from the unwilling expressions on the heads of Yang Bai and many of Yang Bai's die-hard guards.
Dingjun Mountain, like Nancheng City, changed hands twice in one day.
In the end, everything came into Liu Cheng's hands...
Looking at the head on the table in front of him, sent by Hua Xiong from Dingjun Mountain.
Let's listen to the news from Dingjun Mountain reported by this person.
Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile.
Dingjun Mountain and Nanzheng City were successively acquired, which meant that the entire Hanzhong was already in his hands.
The two nails that were driven into Hanzhong were thus removed.
At this time, there were no famous generals like Xia Houyuan stationed on Dingjun Mountain.
There are not that many elite soldiers and horses.
Therefore, compared with Huang Zhong's defeat of Ding Junshan in history, it is much less exciting.
However, the significance is not small at all.
The saying that you can win Hanzhong by winning Dingjun Mountain is not for nothing.
When famous generals are stationed there, the strategic position of Dingjun Mountain cannot be underestimated.
When there are no famous generals stationed there, the status of Dingjun Mountain cannot be ignored!
…
The soldiers and horses carrying the message, carrying letters written by Liu Cheng and some boxes containing human heads, set out from Nanzheng City and galloped towards the north.
They wanted to cross the Shu Road, enter Guanzhong, and report the news of Hanzhong's victory to Dong Zhuo.
Let Dong Zhuo take a reassurance.
Of course, it was not just the victory documents that were shipped.
In addition, there are many gold and silver jewelry.
This was obtained from Yang Song and other wealthy Hanzhong families who were eliminated.
Under Liu Cheng's previous deception, Dong Zhuo was bleeding heavily.
A lot of the things I had saved for the bottom of the box were used to support the development of Guanzhong and the attack on Yizhou.
At this time, Liu Cheng captured the entire territory of Yizhou, and it was also time for Dong Zhuo to see the joy of harvest!
Otherwise, something would be a little bad.
In addition to these things, Liu Cheng also wrote some other letters.
Begin further deployment of troops.
This time, the troops and generals mobilized were no longer real soldiers, but some civilian officials.
The main task here is to govern Hanzhong and Yizhou that have been conquered.
If you want to take Hanzhong and Xichuan, which will be attacked next, into your own hands, just attacking them will not do it.
Someone still needs to be sent to take care of it.
You need to arrange people who are close to you in key positions to do it.
With some necessary policies, we can ensure the stability of Yizhou in the future and make it work for ourselves.
Therefore, Liu Cheng now set out to mobilize some talents from Guanzhong to help govern Hanzhong, and later Xichuan and other places.
The main reason why we did not directly bring some talents in this field when we brought the troops was that there were still a lot of things to do in Guanzhong at that time.
It was a bit difficult to adjust for a while.
Therefore, Liu Chenggong decided to lead troops to attack Hanzhong first, and after Hanzhong was captured, he would transfer some scribes from Guanzhong who had a certain emotional foundation when he had done a series of things in Guanzhong.
The road has been opened and there is no need to wait to enter Hanzhong.
Many obstacles in Hanzhong, he had already led his troops to eliminate them first.
After these people are brought in, they can directly start to manage.
It can be said that it can save time to the greatest extent.
Let your talents play their due role.
With this period of buffering, many things in Guanzhong can be completed...
…
The team of messengers sent out by Liu Cheng headed north with many missions and countless treasures.
After leaving Nanzheng Pass, entering the Shu Road and heading to Chang'an, the journey was extremely smooth...
And Liu Cheng, after dealing with these matters, was in Nanzheng City and looked towards the southwest.
Following his gaze, one can see Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass, the two gateways of Western Shu, in this direction.
"I don't know if the fish has eaten the hook..."
After watching like this for a while, Liu Cheng spoke up and murmured...
…
Here in Jiamengguan, it is raining heavily.
In addition to the rain, there were also many more people.
Before meeting Liu Cheng, Zhang Lu, who had been heading toward the peak of his life smoothly, fled all the way and led thousands of defeated troops to Jiameng Pass.
He begged the people above Jiameng Pass to let him and his troops enter Jiameng Pass for the sake of Liu Yizhou's subordinates.
Let him be protected.
I can continue to serve Liu Yizhou and continue to shine for Liu Yizhou.
He also said that Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses were holding tight behind him. If he didn't open the door to let them in, he and the soldiers and horses under him would be really doomed...
Outside Jiameng Pass, a large number of defeated soldiers and horses gathered. Zhang Lu, who had some wounds on his body and looked very embarrassed, was shouting lively there.
Above Jiameng Pass, because of their arrival, it also became more lively than before.
"Zhang Biebu thinks that Zhang Lu should be allowed in?"
Above Jiameng Pass, Yan Yan, the commander of Jiameng Pass, looked at Zhang Ren and said with a smile.
Yan Yan wore a bamboo hat on his head and a coir raincoat on his body.
The patter of raindrops fell on it, gathering into little drops of water, dripping down along the brim of the hat and the edge of the raincoat.
Beside him, stood a young man.
It was none other than Sima Zhangren of another department.
Zhang Ren only wore a bamboo hat on his head and no raincoat on his body.
His gaze was always looking at the city, it was light and there was no sadness or joy in it.
Hearing Li Yan next to him ask himself, he thought about it and said, "In my humble opinion, it's better not to let him in.
Who knows who is among these defeated troops?
If there really is Liu Cheng, and the arranged details are mixed in, and they enter Jiameng Pass together, then things will not be good after that.
and……"
When he said this, his voice paused and continued: "Moreover, didn't Zhang Lu say that Liu Cheng's pursuers behind him were about to arrive?
Then let him wait here and give the pursuers a fight and let us see.
It's just a good opportunity to see the strength of Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses through these.
We can see some reality from it.”
Yan Yan beside her nodded when she heard this, and said with a smile: "But my mother is our Liu Yizhou's pillow."
Although the voice is serious, no matter how you listen to it, you feel that there is something not serious about it.
Hearing this, Zhang Ren smiled silently and said:
"It's true, but if we really talk about it, if we shut this guy down, we, Liu Yizhou, will have to be called your lord!"
Yan Yan showed a smile on her face and said, "That's useless. After all, his surname is Zhang, not Liu."
After that, he continued: "Furthermore, the most important reason why we, Liu Yizhou, are able to tolerate this man and misbehave in Hanzhong is to want him to isolate Guanzhong.
Let Guanzhong have no influence on us.
But now, what this person is doing is not good at all.
Hanzhong was lost directly!
Now that he has become a defeated general, what value does he have left?
Even if he has two more mothers in front of our Liu Yizhou, it will still be of no use."
Hearing Yan Yan say this, the smile on Zhang Ren's face became even stronger.
It can be known from the conversation between the two that they despise Zhang Lu.
Think about it too.
Both of them are the kind of people who rely on themselves to work hard.
Naturally, they looked down upon people like Zhang Lu, who sent his wife out to serve men and then used it to gain a high position.
The two said this and stopped talking.
Standing in the pouring rain, I looked outside Jiameng Pass.
"Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses are quite slow."
It's been over an hour since Zhang Lu came over, but his troops haven't caught up with him yet."
After doing this for a while, Yan Yan, who was staring at the direction where Zhang Lu's troops were retreating, spoke out.
Zhang Ren smiled when he heard this and said, "Maybe it's because Zhang Lu can't fight because he's too good at escaping."
The two of them stood here, jokingly talking and laughing, discussing some major military matters, and directly ignored Zhang Lu who was leading the soldiers and horses below Jiameng Pass and begging to enter the pass.
"Coming!"
More than a quarter of an hour later, Yan Yan suddenly said this.
After he finished speaking, a moment later, through the gray rain curtain, men and horses appeared in sight.
"Prefect Zhang, if you can lead the troops and repel the pursuing enemies, I will let you and your men enter the pass!
Fang Xin, you are sincere and you are not just trying to make money with that traitor Liu Cheng!"
Yan Yan looked at Zhang Lu in front of Jiameng Pass and shouted...
(The 16,000-word monthly ticket will be given with extra updates, and the remaining 4,000 words will be given with extra updates in a few days. For the sake of Lao Mo’s diligence, I also ask book friends to vote for some more monthly tickets.
As long as there are still 1,000 pieces this month, there will be more updates next month.)
