On the official road, the knights held spears and stared fiercely at the women and children walking in the middle.
The long queue moved slowly towards Jinyong City.
Most of them were women and children. The frightened woman was holding her child and hurried forward. There were also half-grown children supporting the elderly.
They were even added to the feet of everyone, young and old alike.
The procession was very long, heading into the city from various official roads outside Jinyong City. There were horse-drawn carriages walking among them. If anyone fell behind or showed any intention of resisting, he would be killed immediately.
Crying all the way, blood and tears all the way.
The crying along the road never stopped.
What a doomsday scene.
Yang Su stood on the city wall, looking at the teams coming to the city from all directions, with a faint smile in his eyes.
The two clerks stood beside him. They were both Zhou people, but even Zhou people could not bear to see such a tragic scene.
Traveling in a hurry is a matter of narrow escape, not to mention that for these old, weak, women and children, it is basically pushing people to death.
Yang Su was not touched at all.
This man had read many books, especially Legalist books. He pursued the doctrine of heavy punishment and advocated Qin's way of governing the country.
In his opinion, continuous imprisonment, servitude, heavy taxes, comprehensive blockade of the people, and repressive and cruel criminal law methods were extremely necessary.
Of course, Yang Su is not the kind of lunatic who indulges in torture and killing. He is different from Gao Chuo.
He was dismissive of the people, either because he was cruel by nature, or because he felt that the people needed to have knives hanging over their heads at all times in order to govern better. Everything must be strict and serious. To control the people, they must know to be afraid at all times. Let them be at the balance between living and dead, so that they have no energy to think about anything else and do other things. The clerk asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yang, is this method really effective?"
"Whether it's useful or not, what does it have to do with us?"
"Have you forgotten your identity?"
Yang Su asked rhetorically.
The two clerks immediately did not dare to speak and both lowered their heads.
Yang Su sneered, "Dugu Yongye is just a fool."
"Don't forget, the purpose of our coming to Henan is not to help Dugu Yongye govern the country, nor to help him beat Liu Taozi. A fool like him still wants to compete with Liu Taozi?"
Yang Su's words were full of disdain.
"We are here to weaken our enemies," he continued.
"The more people they kill, the better. It is better for craftsmen and doctors to turn Henan into a barren land. In this way, when Liu Taozi takes over Henan, not only will he not be able to develop, but he will have to use Hebei to relieve Henan. , it costs a lot of money... and you don’t get any benefit at all.”
The two looked at each other and it was true.
Yang Su suddenly laughed when he heard the crying in the distance, "Liu Taozi has always thought of himself as loving the people, which is extremely ridiculous. "This time we are in Henan, carrying out large-scale campaigns, slaughtering villages and cities, will Liu Taozi continue to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty?
?
Or will he find a way to save the people he loves?"
"Liu Taozi is good at fighting, and few people today dare to say that he can definitely defeat him. But in terms of governance, he is nothing special. He imitates the Zhou Dynasty in the military, imitates the Puppet Chen in the promotion of officials, and imitates the Puppet Qi in governing the country...\n
"Zu Ban was strong enough and persuaded him to implement strict laws and use cruel methods to control the people in the country. This is how it reached its current scale."
"You should continue to win over people. Don't win over those with military power. These people have lived a good life with Dugu Yongye and will not come to us. So go and win over the children of the rich families whose interests have been harmed by Dugu Yongye.
To contact those Han people, we have to do a lot of things in the future."
The two people quickly said yes.
One of them suddenly asked: "What should we do during that period...?"
"You can't kill Duan Shao."
"If Duan Shao dies, Dugu Yongye and his demons will be unable to stop Liu Taozi.
"I have my own ideas. No one can act rashly without my orders!"
"only!!"
After the two people agreed, they turned around and left.
Yang Su stood on the city wall again and looked at it for a long time.
He originally followed Yu Wenhu, but after Yu Wenhu died, Yu Wenyong did not like him and had no intention of using him.
Duan Shao had previously contacted the Zhou people, and the temple sent troops near Fenshui to follow Li Mu to meet Duan Shao. Yang Su's father, Yang Fu, served as the governor of Fenzhou. He followed Li Mu to the enemy's territory, and Li Mu went to the front line to meet Duan Shao.
, Yang Fu stayed behind.
As a result, Yang Fu was defeated by Duan Shao in Anyang and was killed by Duan Shao because he was unwilling to surrender.
However, Yu Wenyong did not pursue the title of Yang Fu, probably because he felt that the defeat was a shame. Yang Su was not convinced and wrote a letter to appeal, hoping to be granted the title. Yu Wenyong ignored him, and he wrote three times in a row.
Yang Su was angry and wanted to arrest him and execute him, so Yang Su angrily scolded Yuwen Yong: "Serving the unrighteous emperor deserves death."
Yu Wenyong saw how tough this guy was, so he looked at him with admiration, pardoned his crimes, and granted his father a posthumous title. He served as Yang Suyi's Third Division and served as a general of chariots and cavalry. He stayed with him and began to use him in important positions. Then Yu Wenyong found out that this guy was doing
Everything is great, so I value him more and more.
This time about Dugu Yongye, it was Yang Su who requested to come over.
Yu Wenyong was still a little reluctant to give up, but Yang Su said to him: If you don't use a sharp knife to kill enemies, how can you keep it in the arsenal for viewing?
Yu Wenyong no longer hesitated and asked him to serve as an envoy to Dugu Yongye, and gave him the privilege of taking full responsibility.
To Yang Su, Duan Shao was the enemy who killed his father.
But Yang Su had no intention of revenge at all, and could even calmly think about how to use Duan Shao to fight Liu Taozi.
Just when Yang Su frowned and fell into deep thought, several officers ran up quickly. When they saw Yang Su, these officers were sweating profusely.
"Gao Jun, what are you doing here...\n...The general has been looking for you for a long time and can't find you anywhere..."
Yang Su looked at them with a smile on his face. Most of the time, his expression did not look aggressive. His eyes were bright and he had a slight smile. He looked like a good scribe with a gentle temperament.
"I'm here to see how the execution is going. Where is the general? Take me there quickly to see you!"
The officers took him down the city wall, got into the carriage, and quickly ran towards the general's mansion.
The General's Mansion was newly built. The best location in the city was chosen and more than 40,000 civilians were mobilized...\n::. The scale of 40,000 people does not seem large. After all, Gaoyang originally built temples and Buddha statues.
With one hundred thousand people,
It took 200,000 civilians to build the palace, but the problem is that what Dugu Yongye built was a mansion...: not a spectacle.
The General's Mansion is built exactly like a fortress, a city within a city that can accommodate a huge number of people.
Yang Su sat in the car and walked around the house for a long time before arriving at where Dugu Yongye was.
He got off the carriage and walked quickly towards the inner hall under the leadership of several officers.
There was singing and dancing in the hall.
The dancer was shaking her body greatly. She only had a few pieces of cloth on her body, and most of her body was naked. Many sages under Dugu Yongye's demon were sitting around, sipping wine and looking at the dancing people with fascination.
The beautiful women were singing loudly along with the musicians. The beef was boiling and rolling in the cauldron. Some people directly picked it up and cut it with a knife to eat.
Yang Su was very pleased with this.
Yes, just play like this.
Seeing Yang Su's arrival, Dugu Yongye, who was sitting in the upper position, was overjoyed and hurriedly waved to him.
Yang Su quickly walked to his side, and Dugu Yongye asked him to sit next to him.
"Why did you come so late?"
"I went to see the families of the craftsmen who were transported here."
"Oh...what's wrong?"
"There is nothing wrong with it. From now on, the craftsmen will not dare to defect again."
Dugu Yongye laughed loudly, stroking his dirty beard and holding out his increasingly obvious protruding belly, "Things are getting better everywhere, but...\n.\nDuan Shao has not been doing well recently.
He's so honest that he just lives with Baibaoying these days."
"Gao Jun, you have to think of a way. How could Baibao Elite fall into the hands of someone like him?!
Dugu Yongye's face was red and his whole body smelled of alcohol.
"We have to speed up, people all over the world are looking forward to the Lord...\n..\n"
Yang Su saw undisguised desire in Dugu Yongye's eyes.
Dugu Yongye is getting more and more impatient. He doesn't want to wait any longer, especially when he sees that Liu Taozi, who was also a minister in the past, has been honored as the King of Han. He also wants to go further. The general is nothing to him anymore.
.
He also wants to be a king!
Dugu Yongye took Yang Su's hand and said in a low voice: "Actually, my surname is Liu, and I am an authentic Han Chinese. I am the Liu family in Zhongshan. The genealogy is engraved on a stone tablet. There are documents that can be checked. It is definitely not the case.
Dugu Qi harmed the Han people who pretended to be leaders like that!"
"In the past few months, people all over the world are talking about Liu Taozi, the golden sword. Liu Taozi is not the one who deserves the golden sword.
It’s my fault!!”
"Gao Jun, if I can sit in a high position, you will be the first to achieve success! I will share half of my wealth with you!!'
Seeing Dugu Yongye who was almost losing his temper, Yang Su also appeared a little excited.
"Thank you so much, my lord..."
"However, the current situation does not allow you to enter the King's Palace yet. If you want to enter the King of Han's Palace, Duan Shao will be the first to rebel..."
"Then kill him!!"
Yang Su looked embarrassed and stroked his chin, "It's not easy to kill. I told you before that whoever strikes first will easily fail."
Dugu Yongye disagreed. He raised his head and said loudly: "In this year, I have recruited tens of thousands of troops. The treasury is full of food, and there are enough ordnance. I have all the people, food, and iron I should have."
Yes! The army of Heluo has never been so powerful. Now I have an army of nearly 100,000 people. Do I still need to be afraid of Duan Shao? Even if Liu Taozi comes, I won't be afraid!"
Yang Su could feel that the closer he got to the final step, the less rational Dugu Yongye became. He was gradually swallowed up by desire and became more and more impatient.
But for Yang Su, this was a great blessing.
Yang Su hesitated for a moment, "If the general insists on getting rid of Duan Shao, I have a good idea."
"you say!!"
"I have always felt that when two countries are at war, we should not just improve our own strength, but also constantly weaken the enemy's strength."
"Currently Liu Taozi is in the north, occupying the richest area, and has more and more troops in his hands. Our improvement in these days is indeed huge, but wouldn't it be better if we could find a way to weaken Liu Taozi's power?
?」
Dugu Yongye was a little confused.
"you mean...."
"Everyone in the world knows the bravery of Da Sima. Henan is currently under great rule. The army is well-trained and has sufficient food. Why not let Da Sima lead the elite cavalry to attack the many towns under Liu Taozi's command?"
"The autumn harvest is coming. Liu Taozi has heard that it is a great harvest, but his army is not large enough to be stationed in all areas. If Da Sima is to lead more than 5,000 cavalry, mainly Baibao, and send some more
elite,
Wouldn't it be great to let him lead these troops to harass and attack, so that Liu Taozi can't make money at ease?"
Dugu Yongye hesitated, "However, the result of letting Duan Shao lead the army was very bad. Let him lead the army again...\n. I'm afraid something will go wrong again."
Yang Su immediately shook his head, "General, don't worry!"
"This Liu Taozi is different from Chen Ren. Da Sima can hit Chen Ren with ease, but when it comes to beating Liu Taozi, it's hard to say."
"Da Sima is very strong, but Liu Taozi is not weak either.'
Dugu Yongye asked again: "What if this action leads to Liu Taozi's massive attack... What should we do?"
Yang Su narrowed his eyes and said, "General, don't worry. If Liu Taozi wants to go south, the Zhou Dynasty and the Turks will send troops to seize his soul. We will join forces to surround Liu Taozi."
In Hebei, the troops in his hands dare not launch a large-scale attack on any party!"
"good!"
"Then do as you said!!"
"Ask Liu Taozi to help us kill Duan Shao. I will go to the emperor later and force Duan Shao to go to war with the emperor's edict. If he resists and refuses to obey, we will take him directly. If he accepts it, he will die.
Liu Taozi’s hands!!”
"Gao Jun, you are responsible for this matter. Duan Shao must not be allowed to come back alive!!"
"only."
Dugu Yongye did not lower his voice deliberately, and many people around him heard his last words,
But everyone doesn't care that much.
Dugu Yongye has already received them by his side again. Moreover, what he can give to everyone is what Duan Shao cannot.
Yang Su had a long drink with Dugu Yongye, and Dugu Yongye asked drunkenly: "Gao Jun thinks,
When can I get my last name back?"
Yang Su looked sincere, "When Duan Shao dies, the general will be able to ascend to the throne of Hanwang and restore orthodoxy!!"
"Hahaha~~"
Dugu Yongye laughed again and fell drunk.
The next day, the Qi State Temple issued an order to attack many prefectures and counties under Liu Taozi's demonic command and to restore the original homeland of Hebei.
The edict to recover the old capital.
The edict was issued directly to Duan Shao.
At this moment, Duan Shao was in a dilemma. His relationship with the emperor was not that close. Although the little emperor was smart, he was very afraid of him.
He was forcibly taken out by Duan Shao and brought here all the way. The public praise he received in the past was all a means of self-protection.
When he met the little emperor, the little emperor still had respect on his face, there was no difference.
A look of sincerity.
Dugu Yongye sat next to the emperor, with his head lowered, looking like a loyal minister.
This was something Duan Shao couldn't do. Duan Shao was already used to the majesty of superiors, even in front of the emperor. He couldn't lower his head to show friendship to a little baby.
An official read out the edict, and the young emperor looked at Duan Shao expectantly.
"Your Majesty wants me to attack Liu Taozi, so I won't hesitate."
"It's just that, Your Majesty, you should take more care after I leave."
Gao Yan felt vaguely uncomfortable after listening to Duan Shao's words.
Dugu Yongye was very kind to Gao Yan, and even sent him the official appointment documents, requesting him to make the appointments. He could order whatever he wanted, and whoever the emperor appointed would be promoted.
This was also Yang Su's idea. Anyway, the people on this list were all Dugu Yongye's people. Promoting anyone would have no impact. Instead, it would make the little emperor happy.
Duan Shao was too strong when facing the emperor, always forcing him to do something, and not giving him any respect for the emperor.
At least in the eyes of the emperor, it was a matter of judgment.
Dugu Yongye seemed to have not understood Duan Shao's words at all, and congratulated Duan Shao with a smile, congratulating him in advance. At the same time, Yang Su's house also welcomed guests.
The official in charge of liaison here stood in front of Yang Su with a very stern look on his face.
"Yang Jun!"
"Your Majesty once said that you are not allowed to attack Duan Shao. We still need him to deal with Liu Taozi...::. If Duan Shao dies, Liu Taozi can rest assured to invade Dazhou without worrying about Henan. Now you are
What's the meaning?!"
With a calm look on her face, Yang Su picked up the wine cup and gulped down the wine.
"Liu Taozi is developing too fast. If he can't find a way to interrupt it, he can attack Duan Shao with one hand and Wei Xiaokuan with the other."
"I can't keep Duan Shao safe for too long. It's also a good thing to let him fight Liu Taozi and cause as much damage as possible."
"As for what you are worried about, if Duan Shao dies...:.wouldn't it be great?"
"Liu Taozi can confidently send a large army to invade Zhou, and he will despise Henan. At that time, he can send troops directly from Henan to attack him...:"
The official's face was full of surprise, "Sending troops from Henan? Who under Dugu Yongye can compare to Duan Shao? Do you think just anyone can defeat Liu Taozi?!"
Yang Su suddenly raised his head.
"I can do that!"
"Duan Shao? Who is Duan Shao?"
"There are no heroes, so Zhuzi became famous!"
"These people in the past were not great generals. Duan Shao was corrupt and seldom changed, and Hu Luguang was reckless and greedy.
Liu Taozi is conceited and weak! The rest of us are not worth mentioning!"
Chapter completed!
