Qin Ge sighed after hearing this: "I am just a small captain in Taishan County. This campaign in Qingzhou is appointed by the imperial court. Who will take over from Jinan in the future depends on the imperial court!"
"That bullshit court! Every time they send us evil officials, we will not lose our skin every time we come. If you leave, we will really have no way to survive!"
"Why don't you take everyone to move to Taishan County!" The people were excited, seeing Qin Ge as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
On the tower, Liao Hua stood with a middle-aged scribe. This man was about thirty years old. He was thin and dark-faced. He was wearing prison uniform. This man was Sima Ju.
Liao Hua pointed to the people below the city and said: "Brother Ziquan! After you were born into a famous family, your father was appointed by the imperial court as the Grand Administrator of Julu..."
Sima Ju's eyes were blood red and he said: "What a bullshit governor! My father was appointed to Julu that year, but the court asked my father to pay a hundred thousand taels of gold to the Han Dynasty within three years as a 'palace fee'. If he were any other governor, he would definitely plunder the people. It is not difficult to plunder these one hundred thousand taels of gold in one county, but my father is an official and a citizen, and he is unwilling to betray his faith. As a result, when the three-year deadline was up, the Dog Emperor actually asked my father to pay the palace fee within a time limit, otherwise he would have to pay the palace fee within a time limit. The three clans were implicated, and my father committed suicide in shame and anger! And our Sima family was actually going to be exiled to Youzhou. Fortunately, the great sage and good teacher took action. With such a court, I wish he would perish! If Guan Cheng had not listened to my advice this time, what would have happened? I will be attacked by you so easily!" The hatred in Sima Ju's heart was like a torrential river.
Liao Hua was silent for a moment and said: "Brother Ziquan's ambition is to destroy the Han Dynasty at all costs! Are you even willing to risk the lives of tens of millions of people in Jinan?"
Sima Ju shook his head repeatedly and said: "I...I don't. I just want to be a man who serves the country and the people like my father. But this court is too decadent. What is even more hateful is this Qin Ge. He is the eagle dog of the court. He is in vain." In the name of a righteous man!”
Liao Hua said tit for tat: "I once thought that we could overthrow the Han Dynasty with violence and establish a peaceful and prosperous age. However, since the uprising, what we have brought to the people and fellow villagers is endless war and death. Look at the people in this city. They have already How do you think the Yellow Turban Dao is worse than the Han Dynasty after being tortured by us? I think it is even worse!"
Sima Ju fell into silence but still said unwillingly in his heart: "Then you can't surrender and become the executioner who kills our brothers!"
Liao Hua took out a battle report from his arms: "This time the lord led an army to attack the county. The Yellow Turban Army only had 30,000 casualties. The remaining 300,000 Yellow Turban Army were only detained by the lord. And look at the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry Strategy Every time the county fights, no one will be left alive, and they will even massacre Yellow Turban believers. Now more than two million people have been massacred. Although other legions of the Han Dynasty are not so bad, they adopt an attitude of annihilation towards the Yellow Turban soldiers. Only the Lord's The Northern Route Army almost never committed any crime against Qing Beiqiu along the way. In order to compete for the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, your Excellency killed the confidants of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and offended the Han family members to death. Why did he do this? Could it be that It's for the fame and wealth you mentioned. No matter how great his achievements are, if he offends the clan of the Han Dynasty, the governor of a state, his future will be slim! Moreover, this time Qingzhou was captured, he fought against all opinions and will capture it. The grain and grass supplies were distributed to the people, which made the Yanzhou nobles dissatisfied. After this battle, let alone meritorious service, I am afraid that you will have no place in Yanzhou!"
Sima Ju looked at Qin Ge in the city in disbelief, and murmured: "This... is really..." Sima Ju's expression softened and said: "I admire Lord Qin's righteous deeds. Your name is indeed well-deserved, but I think it's just that I'm here I swore before my father’s grave that I would never join the ranks of the Han Dynasty in this life!”
Liao Hua lowered his voice and said: "Brother Ziquan, have you ever heard of the predictions made by the evolutionists? At the beginning, we all thought they were nonsense, but now they are not fulfilled one by one. Now the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty are scattered, and the world has returned to a world of great strife. , when the time comes, the world will inevitably be divided by heroes. Instead of me and the people being enslaved by the overlord, why not we take the initiative to choose the lord?"
Sima Ju's eyes flashed and he said, "What do you mean..."
Liao Hua whispered: "I'll tell you top secret news. Lord Chen Yuan has already left for Le'an County. With his influence in Qingzhou, his friendship with Liu Pi, and his military strength and tiger power, I'm afraid that General Le'an will It will destroy itself without attack! At this time, as long as you let the people submit to the imperial court and give up the Yellow Turban Road, the people of the three counties can be saved from the war. This is your original intention! And you can wait among the people and wait for the situation to change. Your Excellency, when you take control of Qingzhou, isn’t the governance model of the Free Territory exactly what the great virtuous master said about the peaceful and prosperous age? Our ideals and ambitions can be realized again!”
Sima Ju's eyes were shining brightly and he said: "Master Qin has unparalleled majesty and a benevolent heart to help the world. I have also sneaked in to observe the administration of the free territory. It is the asset of a powerful leader, but now he is trapped in Yanzhou. He is lying in the stinky ditch, but you are right, he will definitely fly to the sky, okay! I am willing to submit to Lord Qin!"
Qin Ge and Man Chong finally broke away from the crowd of people and came to the foot of the city tower. Sima Ju and Liao Hua bowed and stood. Sima Ju saluted Qin Ge and said: "Sima Ju, the sinner, kowtows to you, sir. I am willing to ride for you and die for you." !”
"Sima Ju wants to recognize you as his master, do you agree?" A message of recognition appeared in his mind.
Qin Ge readily agreed. Sima Ju was a well-known intelligent man in Qingzhou. He once helped Bu Ji capture the entire Qingzhou. However, Bu Ji was cruel and unkind. Sima Ju was sent to the Kingdom of Jinan because of his disagreement with his political views. thing.

Qin Ge quickly helped Sima Ju up and said with emotion: "Zi Quan is actually the son of the famous minister Sima Zhi. I have heard that my father is a model for all officials!"
Hearing such high praise for his father, Sima Ju felt a little sad in his heart: "I am even more ashamed to receive such praise from you. Every time I think of my father, I feel helpless. Meeting my lord today is like the rain after a long drought! But both I have spoken beforehand, I swear that I will not be at odds with the Han Dynasty, and today I will only submit to the lord, not the Han Dynasty!"
Although Qin Ge's face looked as usual when he heard this, he was already happy in his heart. The top leaders of the Free Leader Man Chong, Mao Jie and Chen Yuan were all celebrities. Even Zang Jie still respected the Han court even though his son had become a rebel. God, this is the limitation of the aboriginal people. Qin Ge can only subtlety, but he does not dare to blatantly oppose the Han and do anything extraordinary in front of these people. Sima Ju is simply Qin Ge's ideal general, and the Han Dynasty They are irreconcilable, and his plan in Qingzhou needs such a person. Moreover, Sima Ju has a fierce personality. Such a person attaches great importance to friendship and reputation. He is a loyal and reliable person. He is also proficient in water warfare near the Bohai Sea. He is definitely a rare talent!
Qing Ge picked up Sima Ju and said, "Come here! Go and hold a banquet quickly. I want to entertain you, sir. If I am happy today, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
…
After the banquet, Qin Ge was a little drunk. He held Sima Ju's hand and led him all the way to the dormitory. Dian Wei was guarding the door. Qin Ge pointed to the bed and said, "Today I want to stay with Mr. Fall asleep!"
Sima Ju was shocked and said: "My lord is drunk! How dare you, the criminal minister of the next level, to collapse with your lord!" Let me explain to everyone that in the Han Dynasty, there was a trend of falling together, not a broken back. Falling with someone means that the lord is close to that person. Wu Jian treats this person as a confidant and has the highest reception etiquette.
Qin Ge laughed and said: "Drunk! I really hope I get drunk, but I don't dare to get drunk! When I get drunk, I am afraid that those nobles will raise the butcher knife. Now I am just a fattened pig. They have already They were sharpening their knives and looking at me! In the past, they relied on me to defend them against the bandits, but now that the bandits are wiped out, haha! I have become a fat pig in their eyes, and everyone wants to kill me! I heard that Mr. I was born into a famous family, so I want to talk to you about the current generation of nobles!" After saying that, he pulled Sima and lay down directly on the couch.
After hearing what Qin Ge said, Sima Ju was silent for a moment and said: "The Han Dynasty has experienced the trouble of alternation between relatives and eunuchs. The power of the Han clan has basically disappeared, while the noble families took advantage of the drama in the court to annex land and accumulate people. Hope, today, with the collapse of dragon power, the gentry will inevitably rise, and the Han gentry are just a group of greedy wolves. Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is promiscuous, he is not stupid. The purpose of the palace fee he recommended is to draw money from the gentry. Extracting resources to weaken the power of the nobles, but he once knew that the superiors were immoral, the subordinates collapsed, and the big man was already terminally ill and hopeless!"
Qin Ge sighed leisurely: "It's exactly what I said, it's hard for the people to prosper, and it's hard for the people to die!"
Sima Juwenzhi stood up and praised: "My lord has hit the mark. Ziquan follows my lord just to find a way out for the people of Qingzhou!"
Qin Ge seemed to be talking in his sleep: "Although the foundation of the Han Dynasty has been rotten, the centipede insect is dead but not stiff. The future situation will change unpredictably. In order to prevent the people of Qingzhou from further disasters, we can adopt the means of Baojia autonomy and form an autonomy based on the village. The team is called A, and the team established by the township as a unit is called Bao. You can secretly recruit elite soldiers to form a guard army, dormant in the mountains and among the people, and ask for orders to protect the people. I am the free general to secretly support you. You provide food, grass and weapons. I believe that this big man will change his destiny soon. When he falls..." Qin Ge fell asleep due to drunkenness before he could finish his words.
Sima Juze listened to every word very clearly, and his heart was full of shock. He looked at Qin Ge who was sleeping in a daze, but soon he seemed to understand something, and he quickly lay on the bed and kowtowed to Qin Ge: "Sima Ju will definitely fight to the death to complete this task." The lord's strategy, Sima Ju swears to heaven that today's events will not be passed on to anyone else!" After saying that, he lay down beside Qin Ge, holding the quilt in his hand, unable to fall asleep for a long time because of the excitement in his heart.
