"General! Lin Fan's army of hundreds of thousands is outside the city. Moreover, there are one hundred thousand elite cavalry. It looks like they are going to attack the city!"
Lu Shiliu's men were shocked.
There are only 30,000 defenders in their city, and the defenses in the city are also average. If Lin Fan leads his troops to attack the city, they will definitely not be able to hold out for an hour.
"I know! Damn it! I asked Your Majesty to surrender, and His Majesty agreed, so why is Lin Fan still here?
Could it be that His Majesty has betrayed his trust?"
Lu Shiliu said in a deep voice.
"General! In my opinion, it's not Your Majesty's problem, it's that Lin Fan doesn't listen to Your Majesty at all!"
The subordinate said in a deep voice.
Lu Shiliu also realized the key point of this matter. Lin Fan had a lot of troops in his hands. When had he ever heard of His Majesty's opinion?
They all go their own way and do whatever they want.
"Damn! I won't defend anymore! Just open the city gate and welcome Lin Fan into the city. I want to take a look. I have surrendered. Like him, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Can he still kill me?"
Lu Shiliu said coldly.
He asked people to open the city gate and went out to greet Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was a little surprised when he saw the person coming out of the city to greet him.
"The guard in Gaiping City should be Lu Shiliu, right?"
Lin Fan asked the people around him.
"My lord, it's Lu Shiliu. This man has 30,000 troops. Over the years, I don't know how much military pay he has received from the imperial court. But when Jiannu came to kill him, he surrendered immediately!"
One person said.
hehe!
Lin Fan sneered in his heart. As a descendant, he knew the situation in Liaodong very well.
People like Lu Shiliu are just like warlords. In order to consolidate their own power, they try to do evil things.
Why can the Jiannu slaves wreak havoc in Liaodong?
Why it has developed to where it is today is not because these people, for their own benefit and an excuse to ask for money from the court, allowed the establishment of slaves to grow.
The court gave him money, and they suppressed him, but they did not kill him. When the court stopped giving him money, they supported Jiannu to stand up again and continued to ask for money from the court.
Such behavior can be said to be extremely abominable and should be killed a hundred thousand times.
"Master Wuhou! My general said that he has asked His Majesty the Emperor to surrender. His Majesty the Emperor agreed to the general's request to surrender. Now, we are all one family!"
"Master Wuhou has come to Gaiping. My general should fulfill his duties as a landlord and invite the general to enter the city for repairs!"
The person who greeted him looked at Lin Fan and said.
kindness!
This Lu Shiliu actually surrendered, damn it! This guy is really worthless! In order to survive, he will do such shameless things!
"Oh! Your general is really thick-skinned. He does things like playing both sides so smoothly!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Zhu Cijiong also said coldly: "Although my father has accepted your surrender, all the soldiers in Gaiping City must be inspected."
"Yes! Yes! Lord Wuhou, Your Highness the Prince, we are going to prepare for you to inspect the garrison in Gaiping City!"
The man said hurriedly.
Lin Fan led the army into the city. At this time, the people in Gaiping City were kneeling on both sides of the street.
All this was arranged by Lu Shiliu. Only by showing enough humility and not giving Lin Fan any chance to make trouble could he possibly save his life.
"Hmph! This Lu Shiliu is really cowardly. He actually asked the people to kneel on the ground to greet me. If this matter is reported back to the capital, I don't know how many ministers will be given excuses."
Lin Fan said coldly.
The more Lu Shiliu did this, the less likely it was for Lin Fan to spare his life.
"Lord Wuhou! Lu has been waiting for you again for a long time!"
Lu Shiliu greeted Lin Fan from the front.
Because his 30,000 people could not be Lin Fan's opponent at all, so he did not bring any soldiers, which would be safer.
Lin Fan said coldly: "Lu Shiliu, do you know your guilt?"
kindness?
Lu Shiliu's heart skipped a beat, no way, this Lin Fan just entered the city and he was going to cause trouble for himself, didn't he do any showmanship?
"Master Lin! What do you mean?
What crime did Lu commit?
I have asked His Majesty to surrender, and Your Majesty has accepted Lu’s request to surrender!”
Lu Shiliu said in a deep voice.
"Do you think you can get your life back by sending a letter asking for surrender?
When the Jiannu attacked, you did not resist the Jiannu, but surrendered. This is a mortal sin!"
"You are two-faced. You surrendered to slavery and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. This is the second crime. You deserve to die even more!"
"The third crime is, over the years, how much military salary have you taken from me during the Ming Dynasty? How did the Jiannu develop and grow? Do you think I don't know?"
"Fourth, you accepted my money but did not send troops to help me exterminate the slaves. This is a crime worthy of death. These crimes are definitely not exempted by your surrender!"
"Come on! Kill!"
Lin Fan gave the order directly.
The Jin Yiwei stepped forward and captured Lu Shiliu. All Lu Shiliu's confidants were killed. For a time, the streets were full of heads and blood flowed like rivers!
The people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. Lu Shiliu shouted loudly: "Master Wuhou! Do you want to disobey His Majesty's will?"
"Haha! Your Majesty's decree has not yet reached me. Besides, keeping people like you is a disaster. I guarantee that one day you will do something harmful to our Ming Dynasty!"
After that, Lin Fan personally swung his knife and chopped off Lu Shiliu's head.
All the people present felt Lin Fan's decisive killing. Lin Fan looked at these people and said: "You are my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never harm you!"
"And please remember, as long as you are my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, you will enjoy the emperor's favor!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, the people promptly shouted long live your majesty and long live Lord Wuhou.
Lin Fan frowned. These common people would really cause trouble for him. If these words reached the ears of the officials in the court, he would be in trouble again.
Zhu Cijiong's expression had changed. These people supported Lin Fan so much that he felt a sense of crisis.
"Come here! Gather all the defenders in this city together!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
When the defenders in the city were gathered together, they naturally wanted to kill all their generals and replace them with their own people. With their current power, these defenders would never dare to rebel.
Next, he can go to Fuzhou and Ninghai, kill the generals who defend the city there, and subdue the defenders there. Liaodong will be completely pacified.
"Sir, if you do something like this, if the generals guarding Fuzhou and Ninghai learn about it, they will definitely fight to the death!"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice.
"Haha! They dared to resist, but I did not kill the soldiers guarding the city. Those soldiers knew that they would die if they resisted, but they could survive by surrendering, so would they still fight to the death?"
Lin Fan said with a sneer, having already taken everything into consideration.
