"The sinner Luo Rucai has met General Zhendong!"
On the bank of Xiangxi River, in a temporary tent, Liu Ruyi met Luo Rucai, nicknamed "Cao Cao", for the first time!
He was shirtless, white and fat. I don't know whether it was because of the cold or fear, but his fat body was trembling and shaking!
"Haha! I have admired the name of 'Cao Cao' for a long time! Seeing him today is enough to satisfy my lifelong wish!" Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, sitting on his tiger-skin throne with a golden sword, looking down condescendingly.
Luo Rucai, however, had no intention of letting him get up!
Reality is so cruel!
The winner is destined to have all rights!
Luo Rucai smiled awkwardly, kowtowed and said, "General Zhendong is joking. Luo's nickname will only offend the general's ears! This time, Luo was greedy and dared to offend General Huwei. It's really shameful
What a heinous crime! However, the general is requested to spare the lives of Luo and his brothers, Luo, for the sake of Luo’s surrender! Luo and his brothers are willing to follow the general’s command and do whatever they want, even if they die.
!”
Liu Ruyi glanced at Luo Rucai, and Luo Rucai quickly lowered his face humbly, not daring to look into Liu Ruyi's eyes!
Liu Ruyi suddenly stood up and waved his hand to signal the soldiers in the tent to retreat. After a moment, only Luo Rucai and Liu Ruyi were left in the tent!
"General Luo, you are a smart man! I like talking to smart people! Do you want me to let you live? You can! However, you must give me a reason not to kill you!" Liu Ruyi smiled and took the photo.
Take a picture of Luo Rucai’s fat face.
Luo Rucai was startled and said hurriedly: "General, I have three or four thousand brothers under my command. If the general is willing to spare my life, I am willing to let them serve you, general!"
Liu Ruyi's face suddenly turned cold, and the hilt of the knife was already placed on Luo Rucai's neck, "General Luo, do you think I, Liu, have made it this far because I am so easy to coax as a three-year-old? I will give you another chance and say
Well done, you stay, and I'll protect your prosperity! Bad done, I'm sorry, today next year will be your death anniversary!"
Luo Rucai was shocked. Only then did he realize that this seemingly young general was not as easy to fool as his age!
Luo Rucai swallowed hard and said tremblingly: "General, general, can you allow me to think for a moment before I answer?"
Liu Ruyi suddenly smiled, took off the sword, and said calmly: "General Luo, you are a smart man! You should understand what I mean!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he turned around and sat back on the tiger skin throne, picked up the wine bottle beside him, took a sip, and said no more!
Luo Rucai was sweating profusely in an instant. This unknown and inexplicable feeling was simply more frightening than beheading. He was trembling and swinging his body back and forth, but his mind was spinning rapidly!
This, this young man, what does he want?
Liu Ruyi was not impatient and looked at Luo Rucai quietly. This fat man who seemed to have a kind face was far from being as honest as he appeared!
This kind of person is born with a bone in the back of his head!
If it can't be used for his own purposes, Liu Ruyi will definitely get rid of it and then quickly!
Later Mr. Wang said it well, 'It would be better to kill ten thousand people in vain than to let one person go!'
This is a bloody lesson!
"General, I have friendships with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. If the general is willing to spare my life, I am willing to help the general to destroy them!" After a while, Luo Ru finally regained his strength and said.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing, and Luo Rucai, who was laughing so hard, felt scared in her heart!
"General, this, is this a minor statement?" Luo Rucai panicked. He suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake!
"You're right, you're right! Hahaha!" Liu Ruyi laughed and walked to Luo Rucai's side, "I must have said this to Xiong Wencan back then, right?"
Luo Rucai was stunned for a moment. Just when he was about to speak, he noticed that Liu Ruyi's eyes were cold!
Luo Rucai was startled, and when he looked down, he found that the sword in Liu Ruyi's hand had been inserted fiercely into his heart!
"General, I was wrong..." Luo Rucai wanted to say something, but his body suddenly tilted and he no longer had any chance of breathing!
Liu Ruyi took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the blood on the sword, and shook her head slightly, "You are also a smart person! What a pity! You can never put yourself in the right position!"
"Come here~~! Cut off this guy's head and send it to Xiangyang City together with his body. I'm going to ask Mr. Ge for credit for all the brothers!"
"Yes!" The soldiers outside the door were overjoyed and hurriedly picked up Luo Rucai's body and ran out of the tent!
At this time, Chunwa walked in and asked: "General, what should we do with these refugee troops?"
Liu Ruyi glanced at Chun Wa, "If you take a peek, you can see the whole leopard! Cao Cao, Cao Cao! Haha! I can't bear it! Kill them all! Just burn them all!"
"Yes!" Chunwa quickly lowered her body, not daring to show any air!
But in the early morning of the next day, everything was calm again!
Early in the morning, Liu Ruyi had already gotten up. He walked to the Xiangxi River and quietly stared at the green and transparent river water!
The sun rises from the east, and the soft sunlight shines on the water. Pieces of thin ice melt, like small boats, floating wantonly on the river.
What no one would have imagined is that just last night, the ashes of nearly 20,000 people were scattered in this "clear" river.
Liu Ruyi's shadow was reflected on the water. This face was still as young and handsome as ever, but there was an indescribable flavor in it!
Even Liu Ruyi himself doesn’t know what it is!
In fact, if Luo Rucai was sensible, Liu Ruyi would be willing to let him die. With the opening of the Age of Discovery, the area and territory that Liu Ruyi can control has become stronger and stronger. If possible, Liu Ruyi would rather Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai.
Ordinary characters went to develop in other lands, such as the Japanese country, Nanyang, or the American continent separated by the Pacific Ocean!
But it is a pity that Li Chuang, Xian Thief and his like are also heroes after all. It is almost impossible to make them bow their heads and obey orders!
However, for the younger generation, that’s hard to say!
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi suddenly thought of someone!
That Han hero who later generations fought with Wu Sangui for many years in Myanmar but was ultimately defeated!
Perhaps, when that day comes, I will be more patient with him than with Luo Rucai and others!
~~~~~
Walking quietly along the river, Liu Ruyi suddenly discovered that the scenery of Xiangyouping was so beautiful!
The sky is blue, the water is green, and the air is fresh. If in later generations a road was built here and hundreds of luxurious villas were built, it would cost at least 20,000 yuan!
The land of China has beautiful mountains and rivers. This fertile soil has nurtured five thousand years of civilization. How can barbarians be allowed to dictate on this land?
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi's blood seemed as cold as the fragrant stream water!
'Those who deserve to be killed should still be treated with mercy!'
At this time, a soldier hurried to Liu Ruyi and reported in a low voice: "General, there are still more than 2,000 local soldiers captured. What should we do with these people?"
Liu Ruyi was stunned and said displeasedly: "Didn't I ask you to clean up yesterday? Why are you asking more questions today?"
"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, then turned around and left.
Liu Ruyi suddenly realized that he was talking about "local soldiers", that is, these chieftain tribes who were attached to Luo Rucai!
"Wait!" Liu Ruyi hurriedly waved to stop the soldiers, "Where are they now? Take me to meet them!"
More than two thousand native soldiers were imprisoned in the original army camp.
Last night, this was the 'cremation ground', and the smell of burnt human oil has not dissipated yet. They were hiding in the camp fearfully, not knowing what kind of fate they would face, and they did not dare to express their anger!
Liu Ruyi took more than a hundred soldiers and looked around the camp, and couldn't help but frown.
"Go and find their leaders, I want to talk to them!"
"Yes!" The soldiers hurried in to search, but Liu Ruyi sat on a wooden stake nearby, thinking for a while.
Since the Song Dynasty, the imperial court has basically focused on appeasing the chieftains and chiefs in the southwest. They have been promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries, allowed them to raise private soldiers, and given them land rewards. These native tribes basically have a high degree of autonomy.
But there are good and bad ways to do this!
If the imperial court is strong, these Tu people will generally be respectful, pay tribute on time, and accept canonization on time!
But once the imperial court weakens, it will end up like this. These chieftains actually dare to collude with Luo Rucai, Xian Thief and others to plot rebellion!
This problem is somewhat serious!
In fact, there are countless examples of battles to quell these Tu rebellions throughout the ages!
The most famous one is the Bozhou Rebellion during the Wanli Period!
That is the Yang family of the ‘Yang Family General’ in the novel!
In the 20th year of Wanli, since the Tang Dynasty, the Yang family has continued for 21 generations. The head of the Yang family, Yang Yinglong, due to competition between wives and concubines, his favorite concubine Tian Feng killed his legitimate wife Zhang!
But Tian Feifeng was just a concubine, while Zhang was from a wealthy family. Afterwards, Zhang Shizhao, Zhang Shizhao's uncle, angrily cursed Yang Yinglong: "Asshole, I will definitely take revenge on my niece!"
Soon, Zhang Shizhao contacted He En, Guo Shichen and other dignitaries and wrote to the court, accusing Yang Yinglong of treason. So the court ordered Guizhou Governor Ye Mengxiong to take the lead in the suppression, which kicked off the Bozhou Rebellion!
This civil strife lasted for nearly eight years. The imperial court repeatedly sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, but they all failed miserably. On the contrary, Yang Yinglong's power increased greatly!
Finally, as a last resort, the imperial court had no choice but to dispatch the famous general Liu Ting, who had just returned from the Korean battlefield where he fought the Japanese slaves, to lead his troops to annihilate them!
But after all, it happened during the prosperous Wanli years. If it happened now, the consequences would be simply unimaginable!
Of course, among the chieftains, there are also people who are sensible and famous throughout the ages, such as Qin Liangyu from Shizhu County, Chongqing!
She is the only female hero in history who is recorded alone in the official history and the biography of generals, and she is also the only female general who was awarded the title of marquis based on her military exploits!
The white-armed soldiers she trained will still make the blood of countless Han family members boil with excitement even five hundred years later!
However, thinking of Qin Liangyu, Liu Ruyi's heart also moved, "This old lady, the old general, must be over sixty now! I wonder how she is now? It would be a good thing to be on good terms with her."
Piece!'
However, just as Liu Ruyi was thinking about it, the soldiers stepped forward to report: "General, the leaders of the Tu tribe are here!"
