Chapter 606 Various Arrangements
The night of the 29th was difficult for the people of Jicheng.
Except for a few big-hearted people, the vast majority of the people stayed up all night.
They don’t care who comes on stage, they just want it to end quickly. If you want to fight for power, please go to the wilderness to find a wasteland, fight face to face in a man's way, and decide the winner. Please don't be so chaotic in the city?
No one listens to them.
The total number of bankers entering the city exceeds five thousand, with a fierce momentum and golden eyes.
Human beings are complicated. Light and darkness coexist in human nature. Darkness magnifies the dark side. In addition, some officers do not restrain their subordinates very much. Therefore, after eliminating all enemies who dared to resist, many people began to plundered.
High-end families are protected by servants, have relatively good weapons, and are protected by high walls. They may not be able to deal with organized armies, but when faced with small groups of people who rob in private, No problem.
Therefore, the soldiers entering the city can only harm ordinary people.
On this night, countless women were wailing and crying, countless people had their half-life savings taken away, and countless people who had lived in peace with the world had their heads chopped off.
In the end, the people couldn't stand it anymore. They took out everything they could withstand, including wooden sticks, spears, hatchets and even a few tables, and started fighting with the soldiers who came to rape and rob them.
Fires soared into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.
Lu Shen, who led the team into the city, realized something was wrong and immediately sent his troops to search for the looting sergeants everywhere.
But in the darkness, how can things be so simple? This chaotic situation lasted until the sun rose, and then it came to an end.
Lu Shen still hasn’t found everyone.
Xu Shi stood beside him, his expression ugly.
If another army of soldiers and horses had entered the city last night and suddenly killed them, the entire army would have collapsed.
They underestimated the difficulty of commanding thousands of soldiers and horses, underestimated the inconvenience of command caused by darkness and chaos, and even underestimated human nature.
Lu Shen couldn't help but think of the situation when Shao Bing entered the city.
The elite soldiers stormed in and led the army into the city. The officers perform their duties and lead their troops to control various key points. They have passwords and identity certificates for each other. When they meet on the street, they can figure out who is who by negotiating with each other and avoid fighting among themselves.
The sergeants who entered the city had strict orders and were not allowed to plunder privately. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.
If you want money, after all the dust has settled, military officials will come forward to discuss with city officials or prominent figures, set a donation amount, and distribute it uniformly.
This is the standard process for capturing a city, but they are too messy and have too many flaws.
Xu Shi couldn't help but think of many night raids and captures of cities in history books, most of which did not describe the process in detail. He had an idea of what the situation was like.
"Let's go and see Wang Pengzu." Lu Shen waved and entered with Xu Shi.
"Zili, how would you treat Wang Pengzu?" Xu Shi followed and asked.
"This has to be decided by Mr. Chen." Lu Shen said matter-of-factly: "Even if Wang Pengzu is going to die, I have no right to deal with it."
"That's good." Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them, one after the other, soon arrived at the place where Wang Jun was imprisoned: his bedroom.
Wang Jun was wearing a single coat and sitting on the couch with his hair disheveled. He no longer had the energy of last night and was silent. When he saw someone coming in, he subconsciously raised his head.
"Are you Lu—" he asked.
"Lu Xu, my father Lu Zidao." Lu Xu cupped his hands and said, "Has the prince been frightened?"
Wang Jun sneered, disdaining to answer this question, and asked instead : "Where is that bitch Cui?"
Up to now, he may not be able to figure out which people in the shogunate have rebelled and who have not rebelled, but this bitch Cui ran away first, so there is definitely a problem! Since the Cui family was from Qinghe, it can be deduced that the Cui family of Qinghe must have participated in the planning, so it is already clear who the mastermind behind the mutiny is.
"Mrs. Cui is resting in the Moon Tower." Lu Shen replied.
"Does she dare to come to see me?"
"Mrs. Cui was disturbed and bedridden. I'm afraid she won't be able to come."
"Bloody maid!" Wang Jun gritted his teeth and said: "She is just a plaything in the hands of others. She will be ruined for her whole life by betraying me. She is a stupid woman."
"The prince is wrong." Lu Shen said: "The building is about to collapse, and everyone has to save themselves. Mrs. Cui is young and young. Are you willing to die with you?"
"By following me, she will enjoy endless benefits and be extremely noble in front of others." Wang Jun scolded Said: "Once a disaster strikes, just think about running away. How can it be so cheap?"
"There is great terror between life and death. When the prince governs Beizhou, the fathers and elders share the same hatred, the barbarians and Xia are all rebelling, and countless people have died because of you." Lu Shen shook his head and said, "Mrs. Cui is not the only one who has carried you away. ."
Wang Jun was silent for a while.
At this point, even a fool can see that such a massive mutiny cannot be accomplished by one or two people. The senior officials of the Youzhou shogunate must be deeply involved.
Furthermore, judging from the fact that he had not received any news beforehand, Lu Shen's words were not an exaggeration. There were too many people in Youzhou who wanted him to step down, too many to count. Even if Lu Shen and others didn't launch an attack last night, someone else would in the future. To him, it is just a matter of dying early and dying late, there is not much difference.
"Is it Shao Xun?" Wang Jun suddenly asked after a long silence.
Lu Shen was about to leave when he heard this and stopped, looking at Wang Jun without saying a word.
“It’s really him!” Wang Jun said angrily. "My lord, Mr. Chen has not sorry for you." Lu Shen said: "The year before last, Shi Le attacked Youzhou, and the prince was defeated. If Chen Gong hadn't led his troops northward, built a city at Fangtou, and forced Shi Le to lead his troops to come back for reinforcements, the prince would have died at that time. That's it. Last year, Shi Le attacked Youzhou again, but the prince had great difficulty in resisting it. It was Chen Gong who sent his troops north to conquer Yecheng and relieved the trouble in Youzhou. Otherwise, the prince would have been ruined. How could the prince repay him for his righteousness? You sent people south to Jizhou to appease the counties and compete with Chen Gong. You also sent Zaotai Chan to Ye to openly claim Jizhou. This year, you are planning to take advantage of Chen Gong’s battle with the Huns. This is you. Who is to blame for what he did?”
Wang Jun was stunned.
In his understanding, it was he who attracted Shi Le's main force, and they fought in succession, killing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. And Shao Xun was just a shameless villain who took advantage of the chaos to capture Ye City. Without him, how could Shao Xun capture Ye City so easily?
Why did Lu Shen say something else when he came to his mouth?
There are two ways to say the same thing...
Seeing that he was silent, Lu Shen was not interested in talking to him.
"Where are Zaosong, Zhu Shuo and You Tong?" Wang Jun asked again.
Lu Shen only looked at him.
Wang Jun understood, laughed twice and said nothing.
"My lord, please live here with peace of mind." Lu Shen said one last word: "Don't think wildly. Mr. Chen has his own thoughts and decisions."
After that, he left.
******
By the afternoon of the 30th, the situation in the city finally stabilized.
Fan Yanglu's tribe mainly gathered in barracks, granaries, arsenals and other places. They have been guarding them since last night until now, and no one is allowed to approach.
This is the most valuable thing in Jicheng. It will be handed over to Mr. Chen in its entirety in the future and cannot be ignored.
Some scholars and generals have gathered in the shogunate office, divided into several groups, chatting and reminiscing about the past, while talking about the happy events of last night.
I have wanted to kill Wang Jun for a long time! It's just that no one has come forward, which makes me suspicious, thinking that everyone else supports Wang Jun, so I don't dare to be the first person.
Actually, this was the current situation in Youzhou before. Too many people were dissatisfied with Wang Jun. Not only the scholars and barbarian chiefs were dissatisfied with him, but ordinary people also kept scolding him. But no one was willing to be the first to stand up, so Wang Jun's miserable rule continued.
To this day, it is still kicked over by external force.
Lu Zhi, who worked under Shao Xun's account, took the lead in contacting him. With Chen Gong's reputation, he connected countless people at once. When Lu Zhi secretly contacted him, he did not expect it to be so smooth. It can be seen that Wang Jun is so unpopular.
After last night's fighting, Jicheng has changed. But this is only the first step. There are still many things to do next.
After Lu Shen and Xu Shi arrived at the shogunate, they first greeted everyone, and then used their eyes to signal You Tong, Zaosong, and Zhu Shuo, the "three giants" of Youzhou, to follow him inside to discuss important matters.
"Guangming." As soon as he sat down, Lu Shen looked at You Tong and said: "There are still many soldiers and horses outside the city. Now we can send envoys to calm them down and prevent them from causing chaos, let alone Let them disperse.”
"Need money." You Tong didn't talk nonsense and only mentioned the key points.
Lu Shen was silent for a while and said: "In urgent matters, you can use part of the treasury to distribute rewards and appease the morale of the army. If the treasury is not enough, priority will be given to reliable troops. Those who have not received rewards, If they want to leave, let's leave."
"Okay." You Tong nodded and said, "It's time to do it."
"Taiwan." Lu Shen then said to Zaosong: "The shogunate's generals and assistants often stay at home and watch. They need to be comforted and asked to come back and straighten the shogunate to run the shogunate. The soldiers and people in the city can also be comforted, and notices to calm the people can be posted everywhere. "
"This is the right principle, and you should obey your orders." Zaosong said respectfully.
If they had an equal cooperative relationship before, after the coup was completed, as the de facto representative of Chen Gong, Lu Shen's status was faintly above him, so he quickly changed his attitude.
After the ceremony, Zao Song also left in a hurry.
"Zi Li, I..." Zhu Shuo waited and waited, but before he was sent, he subconsciously asked.
"Uncle Qiu is willing to go to Yishui and recall Sun Wei's troops?" Lu Shen asked.
Zhu Shuo's face turned pale and he didn't know how to answer.
"Of course I don't want Qiu Bo to go alone." Lu Shen said with a smile: "Qiu Bo has been in charge of important matters for a long time and has a great reputation. He can go with a few respected elders. Don't worry, the family members of the sergeant under Sun Wei's tent are all here. , there won’t be any big trouble. I will also ask You Sima to send thousands of sergeants to accompany him south. It’s expected to be no big deal.”
Zhu Shuo’s expression changed for a long time, and finally he reluctantly said: “Okay. "
After Zhu Shuo left, Lu Shen pulled Xu Shi and whispered: "Yizu, I'll give you a good job."
Xu Shi looked excited if he realized something. got up.
"Go and see Mr. Chen, explain the matters here, and ask him to make a decision." Lu Shen said.
Xu Shi was struck by the great happiness. After calming down his mind, he bowed and said, "Zili's kindness is hard to repay without words."
"What are you and me doing?" Friendship? Go quickly." Lu Shen said with a smile.
Xu Shi left in a hurry.
Lu Shen took a long breath. Suddenly, he found that the back of his clothes was soaked.
From last night to now, he has been highly nervous, and several times he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. He knew that he had little experience and was not calm enough, but he was really nervous.
Even now, it is not time to take things lightly, there are still many things to do. If you are not careful, all your efforts may be wasted. It is really not easy.
