Yang Feng was pushed to the ground, unable to breathe in a hurry, then dizzy and unable to see clearly. It wasn't until his hands were tied and the soldier on his body stood up, and he was breathing heavily that he slowly saw Liu Bei in front of him.
Over the past few years, Liu Bei's appearance has not changed much. Except for his iconic big ears, his figure is still tall and thin, and he still has not grown much beard on his chin. Several years of prosperity and wealth have not made him dull. Obesity, on the contrary, gives it a sense of majesty, giving it a dignified look in its friendly face. Especially his dark brown eyes, Yang Feng couldn't see any hatred or joy in them. Maybe they had been there before, but now they have faded away, leaving only a deep gaze.
Yang Feng didn't dare to look at him. He turned around and saw Chen Gui standing upright in the Han army. He couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He already knew the cause and effect: Chen Gui's so-called plan was a scam. He openly deceived his trust, and then used tricks to delay the relocation, but secretly he had already been connected with the Bafu. The so-called taking the people as hostage was actually a cover-up for the Bafu, making him hide in it, and then launched an attack today. Capture the leader.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng couldn't help but cursed: "Old thief Chen Gui! I treat you with sincerity, and this is how you repay me?"
Chen Gui bowed without answering and only said to Liu Bei: "General, Han Xian is still in the northern camp. We don't know the situation at this time. General, give me five hundred people. I will definitely capture him and return." Liu Bei waved his hand and left Han Dynasty. Zhu Zhong pulled out a person and motioned him to leave with Chen Gui. Then he turned around and smiled at Yang Feng: "Does Marshal Yang also treat others with sincerity?"
Yang Feng knew that he was wrong, so he held his neck and said: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, why bother to say more? Today I fall into your hands, whether you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei slowly pulled out the blade of his sword from his waist and pressed it against Yang Feng's neck. Yang Feng felt a chill and was filled with fear in his heart, and his body trembled slightly unconsciously. Seeing this, Liu Bei moved the edge of his sword and smiled at Yang Feng: "It seems that Yang Shuai didn't speak so forcefully."
He passed by Yang Feng without talking, then turned towards Dugu Qubei, and said slowly to him: "I heard that it was you who came up with the idea of plundering people in Yuzhou and running eastward."
Dugu Qubei looked at him with hatred in his eyes and shouted back sharply: "So what? You killed my eldest brother Su Kelan! In the battle of Shaling, it was your incompetence that made my second brother weak! All the kings were blinded. Eyes, you actually respect you! If you didn't have traitors like Chen Chong to help you, you would be nothing more than a dog on Longshan Mountain! I can't wait to eat your meat, let alone these Chinese dogs! You can cut me up if you want, but I will never humble myself alone. Scream in pain!"
After saying that, Dugu bowed his head and laughed. His expression suddenly changed. He immediately bit off his tongue and spit it on the ground. Then he swallowed the blood and glared at Liu Bei. Everyone was not expecting this change, and they all looked horrified for a moment. Only Liu Bei's expression remained the same. He nodded and said: "So, you and I are indeed feuding with each other, so I won't blame you more, so I'll just give you a good time." "
After that, Dugu Qubei was lifted up by several people and carried to the crowd outside the pavilion. Although he was bleeding from the mouth, he kept whining. He was obviously cursing Liu Bei in his heart, but it is unknown what the dirty words were. . The sergeant forced him to the ground, and one of them grabbed his hair and stretched his neck. There was already a soldier standing aside with a sword ready, but Dugu Qubei shouted again. In an instant, blood splattered from his neck, and his body and head were separated.
When Liu Bei saw that Dugu Qubei was dead, he turned to look at Bai Bo and the others, and said loudly: "Who else has such backbone? I, Liu Bei, will definitely make it happen." Everyone trembled and did not dare to answer. Only Yang Feng knew that he would betray again and again. , was inseparable from Dugu Qubei, and the end would be even worse, so he shouted: "Then kill me!"
Liu Bei knew what he was thinking, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Then I'll give you a chance." After that, he ordered a long pillar to be erected in front of the pavilion, and then dragged Yang Feng out and took off the clothes on his body. The armor, the crown on the head, tied it to the long pillar with disheveled hair. The Han soldiers then called in the refugees who were watching around, saying that the man on the pillar was Bai Bo Yang Feng, and now they were at their mercy.
The refugees were overjoyed when they heard about it. Yang Feng's years of governance were nothing but looting and massacre, which bankrupted many people. Now nearly 700,000 people have been forced to relocate. There is only a little food supply, but an unknown number of people have starved to death on the way. The grievances have become The sea was in danger, and now they had the chance to take revenge, they all rushed forward. Some were beaten with stones, some were burned with fire, or some were bitten with their mouths. Within a quarter of an hour, Yang Feng had expired and died, and his body could not even be seen as human.
Anyone who sees such a horrific scene can't help but be frightened. It can only be said that the people's anger is so extreme that it is beyond human imagination. When Liu Bei saw his death, he felt a little emotional, but Yang Feng had been wandering around the world for more than ten years, switching to five masters, losing consecutive battles, and yet he was able to survive to this day, which was indeed unexpected.
It's just that everyone in Bai Bo was even more timid, kowtowed to the ground, and didn't even dare to raise their eyes to look up. Liu Bei had already cared about them and would let them farm for the rest of their lives, so he stopped looking at them. Instead, he said to the local Xuzhou commanders: "Don't panic, everyone. Today's matter is to punish the rebels. You are all famous men. I was also forced by him, and I knew it well, so I didn't pursue it. It's just that I still have to trouble you to move the people back to their hometown afterwards. "
After that, Liu Bei helped them up one by one. Instead of greeting them by name and family background, the scholars also answered them one by one. In addition to the Chen family of Xiapi, there were also Zhugeqiu of the Langya Zhuge family, Xu Yi of the Xu family of Langya, Zhou Kui of the Zhou family of Xiapi, Mi Zhu of the Mi family of Donghai, Wang Lang of the Wang family of Donghai, Wu Tong of the Wu family of Pengcheng, etc., from Xuzhou County Hope can be said to be gathered here.
When the scholars heard Liu Bei's words and knew that they would not be held accountable and still had the opportunity to be reused, they all felt relieved and their joy was naturally beyond words.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Bei finished greeting people, he slowly said: "It's just that people's livelihood has been very difficult in the past few years. Yang Feng's governance is not good, and the people of the state have no money. They come and go, and this year's spring planting has been delayed again. I'm afraid it will be even worse." It's hard to endure. Emperor Xiaocheng once issued an edict: 'Restraint and restraint to prevent extravagance and lewdness are the first in politics. This is a way that is difficult for hundreds of kings.' Since all the kings have submitted to the king, they should also follow this way."
When he said this, he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, casually chopped off the corner of the table next to him, and said seriously: "Anyone who takes the opportunity to abuse the people and merge their fields, set up slaves, wear expensive clothes, and cause resentment in the state will be treated like this! "
Everyone did not expect this to happen. They saw Liu Bei holding his sword with a sharp edge. Cold sweat broke out, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Seeing his fear, Liu Bei lost his stern look and explained to everyone calmly: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, how much more noble men like you? I have high hopes for you. After a hundred generations, don't let others laugh at you and say, ' Meat eaters are despicable."
Then he ordered the appointment of county governors on behalf of Zhang Xian, with Chen Deng as the prefect of Guangling, Chen Gui as the prefect of Pengcheng, Wang Lang as the prefect of Langya, Mi Zhu as the prefect of Xiapi, and Xu Yi as the prefect of Donghai. Among them, Chen Deng and Chen Gui had great achievements. They were given hundreds of horses and promised to be marquises in the country.
After the banquet ended, the Han soldiers took off the heads of Yang Feng and Dugu Qubei and spread the news among the refugees and Baibo army, so that they would stop at Langya and not go north again. The people of Xuzhou were forced by others. After hearing the news, they all thought of Liu Bei's kindness and shouted long live the people behind him. The Baibo soldiers who originally held the people hostage changed their faces when they heard this. They originally planned to flee north to Qingzhou, but they thought Liu Bei had sent them. People blocked the way out, and there was the main force of the Overlord in the south. When they were desperate, except for a small number of people who either fled into the mountains and forests, most of the soldiers chose to surrender.
The only fly in the ointment is that when Chen Gui led his troops to arrest Han Xian, Han Xian noticed his traces. Han Xian strictly ordered his soldiers to fight, but he left his guards and fled over the wall. When Chen Gui invaded his camp, he only His armor and property could be found, but his whereabouts were missing. He probably changed into civilian clothes and took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The checkpoints arranged by Chen Gui in the north failed to detect Han Xian, which made his whereabouts a mystery. Chen Gui had to plead guilty to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei didn't take it seriously. He excused Chen Gui and said: "Now that Bai Bo is gone, what can he do if he escapes alone? There is no need to pursue him any more."
Although Yang Feng and Dugu Qubei were executed in public, Liu Bei, who was already a general, did not care about the lives and deaths of these people. What made him most sensitive was Yuan Shao's actions: he instigated Qingxu to lead the rebellion, and when Bafu advanced eastward, Yuan Shao immediately raised his troops to surround Yi Jing. He grasped the timing so keenly, and he was really a good opponent of Bafu.
But Yijing is thousands of miles away, and it is really difficult for Bafu to rescue them. The best strategy now is to take advantage of the victory and conquer Qingzhou with the power of Baibo's destruction. But if the attack fails and delays, so that Qingzhou cannot be pacified before Yuan Shao conquers Yijing, then Yuan Shao's intention to unify Youyan cannot be stopped.
Therefore, Liu Bei quickly put Han Siam behind and thought about everything in Qingzhou instead. Xun You suggested that since Bai Bo had already spoken with Linzi and planned to go north via the Qi State, it would be better to send a strange force in disguise before the news reached the Qi State and go north to Qingzhou. As long as they could capture one or two cities along the way, they would be able to do so. Thinking of the successor, the troops pointed directly at Linzi.
Liu Bei was greatly moved. He immediately selected Wang Lang, the most famous among the scholars, and Tai Shici, who was born in Donglai, from the army. He named two thousand troops and asked them to cooperate with each other to get some flags from Bai Bo's army. Armor, a little supply, then took advantage of the night to go north to the city.
Xun You's plan was indeed successful. Wang Lang once served in Linzi and was quite familiar with the Qingzhou garrison. Two days later, they passed through Muling Pass and arrived at the gate of Linqu City of Qi State. Wang Lang stepped forward to speak. Seeing that it was him, the Qi people did not take precautions and opened the city to let them pass. As a result, Taishi Ci took the opportunity to seize the city gate. After occupying Linqu, Bafu was only a hundred miles away from Linzi.
After Linqu, the Qi people were not in danger from the three mountains of Muling. Liu Bei was able to march straight in and press the army into Qingzhou. Then, while he reorganized his army and waited for Guan Yu to go north to join him, he also sent an order to Cao Cao of the East County, ordering him to lead the army to attack the two counties of Mount Tai and Jinan, so that the imperial army could approach Linzi from the east and west sides.
It was only then that Guan Cheng learned the news of Baibo's destruction, but he had no one to use and no troops to send. With no choice, he could only order various places to defend and garrison, and at the same time he sent a letter to Yuan Jun in Liao City to hope for them. Help as promised.
