Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Fu Hongzhi's expression changed, and he said anxiously: "Brother Dao Gui, this, this can't be done."

Liu Daogui said calmly: "Why not? Because you think I let those Jingzhou scholars who secretly collude with the enemy, so that they may take the opportunity to cause chaos?"

Fu Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "Yes, just like Wang Tianen, the magistrate of Zhengyang who beheaded me this time. It turns out that he is a general in the Huanchu army, and he is quite familiar with me. The last time the army conquered Jingzhou This man was also defeated and captured. At that time, Brother Xi Le pardoned him and gave him a county magistrate, but the thief was not grateful. Huan Qian came back, and he was the first to respond. Fortunately, God has eyes, Dao Gui, your sage soldier descended from heaven and conquered Zhijiang. This thief was also beheading me on the way to escape, but he was more than one like this. , But there is a whole box. If these thieves are let go, then Jingzhou, I am afraid there will be no peace forever."

Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Hirozhi, I admire your loyalty and spirit of the country, but please think about it. If Wang Tianen did this to the county magistrate, or the literati family, it would be full. In other words, I'm afraid that most of the officials and powerful people in Jingzhou are here. If I have to blame all of them, do I have to punish the elites of Jingzhou? After killing all the civilians and generals here, I Where can I find someone to help me manage these nine counties and 87 counties in Jingzhou?"

Fu Hongzhi opened his mouth: "Well, this is not to kill them or let them be in charge now. You have to take precautions. Otherwise, even if they don't surrender to Huan Qian, they will secretly communicate with other thieves. Even if they know that these letter evidence are in your hands, Dao Gui, they might actually get into trouble for self-preservation."

Liu Daogui sighed: "If I told you that now I keep defending Jiangling, it is the soldiers brought by the Tong Huanqian in these boxes, do you want me to open the box to capture them now?"

Fu Hongzhi took a breath: "Brother Dao Gui, you actually..."

Tan Daoji smiled slightly: "Hirozhi, you might not know. Before the expedition, Dao Gui had opened the four doors in front of the soldiers and civilians of Jiangling, saying that if he wanted to go out of the city to take refuge in the rebels and the monsters, let it be. Not only that, but also opened the door of the arsenal, letting everyone take it for themselves. Those who are willing to defend the city will join the defending army, and those who want to take refuge in the enemy's army will join us with weapons and will never stop them."

Fu Hongzhi was silent for a long time before he sighed, “I’m so pushing my heart to others, and I finally win people’s hearts. Although my ancestral home is in Niyang, Beidi, I can be regarded as a native of Jingzhou since my great ancestor. I know the character and grudges of the people here. Obviously, grievances must be retributed, and gratitude must be retributed. The Huan clan used to be kind to many Jingzhou scholars. In addition, in recent years, the Beifu Army’s westward expeditions eliminated Huanchu, and many of the local gentry’s children died in the war, so It is human nature to have the opportunity to rebel, but Dao Gui you are so righteous, coupled with the **** of the culprits, aroused righteous indignation, so everyone is willing to work for Dajin, fight for Dao Gui, even if it is Those who have secretly communicated with Huanqian will not betray and join the enemy at this time."

Da Yanzhi laughed and said, "You kid understands quite quickly. Then you say, do you want to check these letters one by one, or..."

Fu Hongzhi smiled and picked up the box, and strode out: "I personally burned this box, so I won't leave a word in this world."

Liu Daogui calmly watched Fu Hongzhi's figure disappear out of the account, then looked at the two heads on the ground, and sighed softly: "Presumably if the two Huan Wen and Huan Chong came back to life, he saw his nephew in order to seize power. , Even if you don't hesitate to invite the Husbands to invade, you will destroy your relatives righteously if you cause demons and thieves to mess up the country."

Tan Yi cursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "That's natural. Although General Huan wanted to usurp power, he was at least a Northern Expedition hero. If he were replaced, he would probably die like Huanzhen instead of doing this. This time, most of the suffering of the people in Jingzhou was caused by this Huanqian. According to Taoist rules, it is best to put him out of the camp gate to frighten the enemy and comfort the dead."

Liu Daogui shook his head: "Finally, death is like a lamp extinguished. All the grievances and grievances, just go with it. Suture the heads and corpses of Huan Qian and Huan Shisui, and transport them back to Jiangling, where they are buried in the ancestral grave of the Huan family. , You don’t need to continue to owe your head or accumulate Jingguan."

Tan Yi's brows frowned slightly: "Dao Gui, are you too kind? We don't punish these thieves severely, I'm afraid there will be more of me in the future."

Liu Daogui said loudly: "If we act benevolence and righteousness and promote kingship, so that the people of Jingzhou can live and work in peace, then how can anyone let a good life go and join the thief? This time the Jingzhou scholars are willing to let go of their previous grievances. In the end, I still stood with us. Isn’t it grateful for the amnesty after the last Western Expedition and the tax relief in the past few years? Huan Qian has been defeated~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Let his corpse vent his anger, It is not a brave move. As for the deterrence of the thieves, are these thousands of beheaded traitors not enough to deter them?"

Tan Daoji laughed: "Brother Dao Gui made a point. Actually, this land of Jingchu can't be subdued by massacre. Wu Bing entered Ying and Qin Emperor destroyed Chu by absolute violence and killing. The people here did not really frighten the people of Chu. Therefore, there are legends that although Chu has three households, the Qin will be defeated by Chu, and there are also stories about Shen Baoxu's recovery of Chu through military forces. Here, it is best to do more benevolence and justice with Chu people Concentric, this is the only way to have long-term peace and stability. As for the behavior of accumulating corpses for Jingguan, it is better to do less, and it will only be counterproductive."

Da Yanzhi nodded: "There is no need to insult the dead, but it is necessary to deal with the living prisoners. After this battle, we killed more than 4,000 thieves, and more than 10,000 thieves did not run away. The prisoners, according to preliminary screening, many people follow Huanshisui, Wang Tianen’s long-time thieves and old bandits, and the diehard old Huanchu army. Now it’s an extraordinary period. They are released. I’m afraid they will continue to gather people to cause chaos. So I can get rid of them all, once and for all."

Tan Yi also said: "Yes, most of these people are willing to join the anti-thief, not to threaten the innocent people. If they are put back, they are also likely to be homeless and will become a rebel force again, and according to As a result of the interrogation, many of these people were enemies of us in the Chu army back then, and they have already been spared once. This time of rebellion, I think that killing them is the best result."
