Mianzhu Pass, Liu Bi read the letter in his hand again.
This is Guo Jia sent him a letter of surrender, this time, Guo Jia directly played the banner of the imperial court, there is an official seal on the letterhead, Liu Bi is a general in Shuzhong, in the past two years, Shuzhong and the imperial court because of the relationship between trade, the contacts have also been a lot closer, he can naturally distinguish the authenticity of the seal.
Chengdu, Guangdu, and Xindu suffered a mob rebellion and the news of the complete fall he naturally knew, but what he didn't expect was that Fuxian, which was just a chaotic army in his eyes, turned out to be the people of the imperial court The hand of the imperial court has been stretched so long, and the top and bottom of Shu have not noticed it in the slightest "General, the people in the city are making trouble again, and they ask you to distribute the grain according to the original agreement."
An adjutant general came in and bowed to Liu Bi.
"Got it."
Liu Bi waved his hand with a headache, Liu Zhang's repeated refusal of his request to send grain has caused resentment all over the city, coupled with the news that other counties and counties are occupied by the people, Liu Bi has no doubt that if he continues to be unable to get food, these people who are already full of grievances will definitely rise up and lift his stall.
Mianzhuguan now only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, if these tens of thousands of people are outside the city, it is okay to say, just keep the door behind closed doors, but if there is chaos in the city, ten times their own, and there is no way to line up, there is no way to suppress it, Liu Bi now feels like he is sitting on a crater that may erupt at any time, and he may face the danger of volcanic eruption at any time.
This feeling is very uncomfortable, the most important thing is that Shuzhong has fallen, Liu Zhang has also run away, and now the imperial court has intervened in the affairs of Chengdu again, in all directions, it seems that they are all enemies, and Shuzhong here, it seems that there is only one left, and the people in the court have established a firm foothold in Fuxian, and they insist on having a fart.
"Someone."
Putting down the letterhead in his hand a little dejectedly, Liu Xuan shouted outside the door.
"General."
A guard came in and bowed.
"You personally go to Fuxian and tell the leaders there that as long as you are willing to send food to appease the people, I can surrender."
Liu Bi is not taboo at the moment.
"General, this" The guards looked at Liu Xuan in shock.
"Lord, it's dead, Fuxian is a soldier of the imperial court, and we should also think of a way out for ourselves in the future."
Liu Bi leaned weakly on the back of the chair and glanced at the guards: "Is it possible, you want to surrender to those mobs" "Oh, let's do it" The guard agreed, and left quickly, in less than a day, the guard had already brought Guo Jia's news, and Guo Jia agreed without hesitation to Liu Bi's request.
"General, those riotous people are gathered at the door, clamoring to see you."
Without waiting for Liu Bi to breathe a sigh of relief, several guards hurriedly ran in and said to Liu Bi.
"Let's go, let's meet" Liu Xuan stood up and walked out of the door noisily.
Outside the gate of the mansion, a lot of people have gathered at this moment, one by one holding weapons, looking at Liu Bi with red eyes: "General, you can't go back on your word, it was you who promised us that we would give us food, and we turned against us, and now you don't give it for a long time, what does this mean?"
"I won't hide it from you."
Liu Bi sighed: "Chengdu, Guangdu, and Xindu have all fallen, don't say that you are everyone, you are the soldiers in the army, and there is no food at the moment." ” "Then we don't care, you promised us at the beginning" A group of people heard the words with a panicked look on their faces, and one by one they were surging with emotion, faintly surrounding the government and looking at Liu Bi menacingly.
"Don't be impatient" Liu Xuan pressed down with his hands and looked at everyone: "The army of the imperial court has entered Shu, and the general has made contact with the imperial court, and tomorrow at the latest, the first batch of grain will be delivered, and their army is now stationed in Fuxian, I hope you will wait for another day." ” "What if you lie to us again" Some people looked at Liu Bi in disbelief, obviously, Liu Bi's failure to fulfill his promise before had aroused the disgust of these people.
Liu Xuan smiled bitterly: "It's just one day, General Ben can't go, if there is no grain and grass to be transported tomorrow, General Ben will definitely give you an explanation, now there is no grain and grass in Guanzhong, General Ben and these soldiers are starving like everyone, they are waiting for the assistance of the imperial court, and now even if everyone kills me, they can't get food." ” "Okay, it's only one day, I hope the general won't break his promise again" After everyone quarreled, they finally made a decision, these hungry and crazy people don't care what kind of official you are, don't see the mob everywhere now, those high-ranking families in the past have now become the focus of care, and the Shuzhong family, nine out of nine have been washed and stripped clean.
Looking at the people who slowly dispersed, Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was only at this time that he truly realized the horror of the people's grievances.
However, all this is none of his business, just wait for the soldiers and horses of the court to come tomorrow, and he, the general, will be considered to have done it.
There was no word all night, and early the next morning, when the dragon flag representing the imperial court appeared in sight, the whole city was boiling, Liu Bi had just opened the city gate, and before he could go out of the city to greet him, a group of impatient people had rushed towards the mighty grain cart behind.
Wei Yue frowned, looked at these people who seemed to be out of control, his face sank, and he shouted: "Stop for me, and if you go to the former, there will be no forgiveness."
These people didn't care so much, they were used to the submissive appearance of the Shu army, they didn't believe that these people really dared to do anything, and they turned a deaf ear to Wei Yue's warnings.
"Release the arrow" Wei Yue's eyes were cold, and he did not hesitate to issue a military order, they came, in addition to receiving Mianzhu Pass, there was also a sense of demonstration, if these people who were almost mobs were allowed to snatch the food away like this, then where would he, the face of the court general, be put on What's more, Guo Jia had already explained before he came, so he didn't have to worry too much.
In Guo Jia's words, the people are in turmoil, they must start to collect, if anyone dares to violate the majesty of the court, no one will be killed "Buzz" A rain of arrows rose into the air, and in the frightened roar of a group of people, fell from the sky, these chaotic people never dreamed that this group of people would really move, one by one rushed to dodge, but where to hide, just in an instant, nearly a thousand people were crucified to the ground.
Liu Bi looked at this scene, his heart was blocked, followed by an indescribable sense of pleasure, these days, he was about to be driven crazy by these people, at this moment seeing Wei Yue make a move without hesitation, he just wanted to say: Well done.
Wei Yue rode his horse to the front of the formation, looked indifferently at a group of shocked and uncertain people, and said loudly: "I am the captain of the imperial court, and I came here to be ordered by Your Majesty to calm the chaos in Shu, Your Majesty knows the suffering of the people in Shu, and specially ordered me to send grain and grass, but" Wei Yue looked at these people indifferently: "This is a gift from the imperial court, but it is not a reason to rob it, and then there are those who are reckless, it will be regarded as rebellion, and there will be no forgiveness for killing."
In all fairness, Wei Yue has been in Shu for more than a year, and he has governed a county, and he knows that the people are suffering, but at this moment, in the face of the hungry and crazy crowd, it is useless to be reasonable, if these people are allowed to rush up like this before, not only will the face of the court plummet, but also it will not play a role in quelling the chaos, these already wild mobs will become even worse after seeing them bully, so they must be snuffed out before they are underestimated in their hearts along with the imperial army.
"Later, we will distribute food everywhere in the city, and those who are willing to respect will have food to eat, but if there is anyone who takes the opportunity to make trouble, Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless" Wei Yue snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Enter the city" Five thousand soldiers, under the leadership of Wei Yue, straightened their chests, escorted the grain cart and began to slowly enter the city, Liu Bi had already been waiting at the gate of the city, seeing Wei Yue coming, he sighed in his heart After the grandeur of the court generals, he quickly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Descend General Liu Bi, see the general." ” Wei Yue turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to help Liu Bi up, and said with a smile: "Why did you and I come from the general's words, and why did you come to say that it is difficult to say that Liu Yuanjun has become self-reliant."
"This" Liu Bi was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized, yes, Liu Zhang is not self-reliant, they are still Han soldiers, how to surrender, with this concept, the resistance to surrender to the court is suddenly much less.
"What the general said is very true."
Liu Xuan sighed, looked at the truckloads of grain transported back, and said with a smile: "The weapons of the soldiers in Guanzhong have been sealed, and if the general is sent, it is incumbent on the general." ” "Exactly."
Wei Yue did not shirk, nodded and said: "Now that the imperial army has not yet entered the customs, there is a shortage of manpower, the general has been in Mianzhu Pass for a long time, and he knows this Mianzhu Pass well. ” "What is the Captain of the Tiger Ben" Liu Bi was a little dumbfounded.
"It is to be responsible for law and order, which is a new position created by the imperial court."
Wei Yue explained Hu Benwei's accusations to Liu Bi in detail, and said with a smile: "Now that the people in the city have been mobs, it is inevitable that their minds will be different, and when the grain is distributed next, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied, and the general will organize his men and horses into a hundred teams, and a team of fifty people will be scattered everywhere to maintain law and order." ” "I see, the last general ordered" Liu Bi bowed, turned around and led his men to arrange the maintenance of law and order, Wei Yue began to count the weapons in the city, occupy important places, and at the same time set up a team of men and horses as a court lieutenant to supervise the law enforcement of the tiger guard, and sent people to transport the grain carts to various places in the city to start distributing grain, for these things, there is a set of ready-made rules, no need to change much, except for the occasional mob who wants to share more food to be stopped, because of the interference of the court captain, these new tiger guards did not make any trouble, After the people in the city got the food, coupled with the deterrent power brought by Wei Yue's merciless killers before, most of the people slowly settled down, even if someone wanted to make trouble, but the people had food in their hands, they were naturally no longer willing to follow them to coax, and Mianzhuguan gradually settled down. t1706231537:
