Liu Yu laughed and raised his right arm high: "Is there anyone willing to join me in establishing justice and punishing thieves?"
Hundreds of strong men poured onto the streets from all corners, waving their fists behind Liu Yu and shouting: "Challenge thieves and build justice!"
Liu Yu's eyes were as bright as lightning and he looked directly at the Zhu brothers on the tower: "Have you seen it? This is the people's heart. This is the voice of the people in Jingkou and the people of the world. Even if Huanxuan has more troops, he can't defeat the people of the world."
You are all smart and thinking people. Should you stand on the side of the people and be loyal people, or should you stand on the side of the national traitors and help the tyrants..." At this point, Liu Yu took out the gun on his back.
The big sword was held horizontally in front of him, and he yelled like spring thunder: "You can choose!"
Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi looked at each other, sighed, dropped their weapons, and said, "Master, I am willing to surrender."
As they lowered their weapons, all the defenders on the city followed them and lowered their weapons. There was a cheer from the city. Many Jingkou men behind Liu Yu rushed forward, moved the barricades, opened the city gate, and the city gates opened.
All the troops from outside also poured into the city. These Beifu sergeants, together with the war sergeants who were on duty up and down the city wall, either held their arms to celebrate or hugged each other and cheered. After all, these Jingzhou sergeants were stationed at Jingkou.
Over the past year or so, I have gotten along quite well with the locals in Jingkou, and most of them have made some friends and relatives here. It is a happy thing for everyone to be able to shake hands and make peace without using weapons. Moreover, Liu Yu was there before the war.
He also specifically explained that soldiers who are willing to rebel against Huan and join the uprising must treat them as brothers and must not beat, scold or abuse them.
Liu Yu himself walked quickly to the top of the city. The Zhu brothers came forward and knelt down in front of him, whispering: "We traitors, who do not understand the righteousness of our master, and still gather a crowd to resist, are punished by death!"
Liu Yu laughed loudly: "Everyone is his own master, what crime is there? After all, Huan Xuan has old favors for you, and it is difficult to abandon them for a while, which is reasonable. If you are really going to the wind, surrender without resistance
, but I look down on you, because you can surrender to me today and betray me tomorrow. This kind of disciple is not taught by me!"
Zhu Chaoshi had a look of shame on his face: "Master, actually, I was angry with you for lying to me. I couldn't think of anything right now, so I..."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "This is Master's fault. I apologize to you. However, Master, I raise the flag and build righteousness, which is related to the lives and fortunes of thousands of people. I can't be careless. Master will never lie to you again, this time."
I apologize to you, and if Jianyi succeeds, Master will accept your punishment in person!"
Zhu Chaoshi quickly waved his hand and said: "How dare you do this. Now we have also joined the rebel army. However, Master, my brother and I just made a plan. We... Hey, brother, it's up to you to say it."
Zhu Lingshi nodded: "Master, it stands to reason that if I turn my armor and turn against you now, I should serve in front of your army, and even take the initiative to be a vanguard to show my true intentions. However, the Huan family does have great influence on our Zhu family."
Well, there are also Huan Fu and Huan Xiu. Although he belongs to the Huan family, it is understandable for you to kill him, but he is a good man and has always cared about our brothers. My two brothers want to collect his body and collect it.
To fulfill my duty as a subordinate. After we finish dealing with it, we will definitely charge into battle for you, even to the death!"
Liu Yu laughed and patted Zhu Lingshi on the shoulder: "Of course I know Huan Xiu is a good man, but he is the prince of the Huan family, and everyone is his own master. I Jianyi Jingkou must kill him, but as a
Soldier, I also respect him very much. Now that the banner of justice has been raised, and I can't allocate more men, I will let your two brothers lead fifty sergeants to bury him in the suburbs of Jingkou. When we put down Huanxuan, you can help him.
His coffin should be returned to Jingzhou for burial. The Huan family's party is an unforgivable crime, but I also know that the Huan family has spread out in Jingkou and has great power. In the future, as long as you are willing to stand up against Huan Xuan, I will petition
The imperial court pardoned some members of the Huan clan who had not rebelled, and arranged the funerals of Huan Xiu and others."
The Zhu brothers' eyes filled with tears, and they said in unison: "Thank you so much, Master Gaoyi!"
Liu Yu nodded: "I know you followed me in the uprising. On Huanxuan's side, you are already guilty of treason and genocide. I don't doubt you. I can only say that you have involved your family in the disaster.
I'm very sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it. All our righteous soldiers are risking the lives of the entire clan. In this battle, you should stay in the rear. Don't go to the front first. Let Huan Xuan see you. Treat your family first.
To the outside world, I will spread the news that you have been killed by me. I hope this will protect your family, at least until I capture Jiankang!"
There were already lines of tears on the faces of the Zhu brothers. Zhu Lingshi choked with sobs and said: "I didn't expect that the master would still be like this at this time, thinking so much about his disciples. Even if I die, I, the Zhu brothers, will never be able to repay the kindness of the master."
If, in this life, we don’t recognize the emperor or the Huan family, we only recognize the master, we are willing to stand up for you through mountains of swords and seas of fire.”
At this point, Zhu Chaoshi suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh suddenly: "Oh, no, when I just received the news that Master killed Huan Xiu, I sent a fast horse to break into the city and go to Jiang Cheng to inform Sima Diao.
Hong led his troops to rescue him, what should we do?!"
Behind Liu Yu, Wei Yongzhi's voice sounded: "Jinu, there was chaos in the city at that time. Five knights ran out. We stopped three, shot one to death, and another one ran away. Count the hours, I'm afraid it will be half an hour later."
, the garrison from Jiangcheng’s camp is coming here.”
Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth, picked up the weapon on the ground, and said: "Our brothers are responsible for the trouble. Please master, let me be the vanguard and attack Diao Hong first!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I have expected these things for a long time. Jiangcheng Camp is the main Jiangnan camp of the Beifu Army. It has been in operation for many years and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they come here on their own initiative, it will be exactly what I hope, so as not to
Use your precious strength to attack the enemy's camp. Lingshi and Chaoshi, follow what I just arranged. Find a good coffin and put Huan in it. After I finish this battle, I will bury him outside the city.
Don't worry about him. Don't worry about other things."
Zhu Chaoshi said anxiously: "But Master, we want..."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Your mission is to pacify the city now. For other things, the master has his own arrangements. Go ahead. This is a military order."
The Zhu brothers looked at each other, saluted and turned around. Liu Yu suddenly said: "Wait a moment."
The two stood there, Liu Yu stepped forward, took out two crimson cloth belts, handed them to them, pointed to the crimson belt wrapped around his left arm, and said: "Time is in a hurry, martyrs.
There are no new military uniforms, so I can only use this crimson belt to identify myself. You should tie it on first, and go to Meng Changshi to ask for it."
Liu Muzhi's voice sounded behind Liu Yu: "Send slave, it's not fun to leave me behind for such a big deal."
