Xu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to the Duke."
Taking Zhao Xingyu's life, this battle can be said to be a complete victory.
After leaving a certain number of soldiers to garrison Qingyun Town and other cities, Zhao Jin also returned to Liyang.
Because of the great victory, Xu Yan and other generals did not restrain everyone. In addition to drinking, they allowed all the soldiers to celebrate properly.
In the past few days, Zhao Jin had hardly rested. After returning to Liyang and discussing with Xu Yan and others how to place the prisoners, Zhao Jin fell asleep.
I didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning on the second day.
After briefly washing and having a meal, Zhao Jin walked out of the camp, thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the place where the prisoners were placed.
Although Zhao Xingyu is dead, there are still rebels in more than ten cities that need to be dealt with.
He needs to figure out what strategy to use to solve this problem.
When Zhao Jin arrived, Ling Rui was being driven by Zhao Jun to repair the city wall.
Liyang was attacked many times by rebels before, and many of its walls were damaged.
In fact, this was not only true for Liyang, but also for cities like Qingyun Town. A lot of the city walls were damaged by explosives. Moreover, they still experienced two bombings by the rebels and the Zhao army.
Zhao Jin looked around, and finally his eyes were fixed on Ling Rui.
Ling Rui's five senses were very obvious. When Zhao Jin's eyes fell on him, he quickly noticed it. He turned around and looked into Zhao Jin's eyes.
"Come here." Zhao Jin folded his arms, raised his chin, and shouted loudly.
Ling Rui put down the things in his hands, raised his feet and walked towards Zhao Jin.
Seeing the rebels nearby, some were anxious, some were jealous, and some were relieved.
They all know that Ling Rui directly killed Zhao Xingyu yesterday, which is logically a meritorious service.
It's just that Ling Rui is a rebel after all, and the crime of treason alone is enough to outweigh all the merits.
But everyone originally thought that Zhao Jin would be lenient or imprisoned separately, but when they saw that Ling Rui was still imprisoned with them.
These people laughed and felt a little anxious.
This means that even if you surrender and perform meritorious service, you cannot save yourself.
Ling Rui ignored those gazes and stopped directly in front of Zhao Jin, "Duke Xuanping."
"Come with me."
Zhao Jin didn't say much, he believed Ling Rui would leave with him.
The two of them walked in tandem, and Zhao Jin took the people to the interrogation place. The soldiers inside wanted to tie up Ling Rui, but Zhao Jin stopped him.
"Bring a chair over here."
Several soldiers looked at each other, but still moved a chair and placed it behind Ling Rui.
Zhao Jin raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Sit down."
Ling Rui was not polite to Zhao Jin, lifted up his robe and sat down, "What does Duke Xuanping want to know?"
"You are a smart man." Zhao Jin sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Ling Rui sharply, "Apart from Zhao Xingyu, who else is more powerful and prestigious in the rebels?"
"No." Ling Rui didn't pause at all. The moment Zhao Jin finished speaking, he immediately picked up the conversation.
There was no smile on Zhao Jin's face, and his face darkened. He put his right hand on the table, "Ling Rui, although you have done a great job by killing Zhao Xingyu."
"But if you play any tricks, your life will not be saved."
Ling Rui's eyes flashed, and he heard the implication of Zhao Jin's words, "Don't worry, Lord, I still cherish my life."
He suddenly laughed, "After all, without life, you can't enjoy any glory or wealth, right?"
The soldier next to him looked at Ling Rui as if he were looking at a fool.
Having fallen into such a situation, it was unknown whether he could save his life, but he actually thought about whether he could enjoy glory and wealth.
Zhao Jin used his right hand to stand up, holding on to the table, and approached Ling Rui step by step.
"Da, da, da" the sound came towards Ling Rui with an overwhelming momentum.
Zhao Jin looked at the other party condescendingly, "So, you still don't have an answer?"
Ling Rui reluctantly pulled his lips. The aura coming from Zhao Jin made his scalp numb. He waited for a while before he could speak neatly, "No."
"My lord, Zhao Xingyu holds on to power very tightly, not to mention such vital things as reputation and prestige. He is almost the voice of the rebels."
"In this case, who can have higher reputation or power?"
"Those people are his confidants, but they don't have much power, let alone reputation."
Ling Rui swallowed and said what Zhao Jin wanted to know most, "If we say the most powerful among the rebels now, they are the city lords of each city."
They were in charge of a city, and without a leader, they were not the most powerful.
"Is there any city lord who is more likely to replace Zhao Xingyu's position?" Zhao Jin frowned and asked.
"No."
Ling Rui shook his head, his tone mixed with a little ridicule, "This is almost impossible to happen. These city lords are all about the same. No one is more sure."
Zhao Jin lowered his eyelids, which was a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that it eliminates the possibility of someone quickly replacing Zhao Xingyu's position and re-entangling the rebels. These people may even compete more fiercely because they want to be the leader.
The bad thing is that they are likely to point their finger at Zhao Jun.
You have to keep them busy and then find a way to defeat them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jin was about to leave, but just as he walked around Ling Rui, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Zhao Xingyu is eager to buy time to win that position, so there are not many reserves in each city."
Zhao Jin thought about it, tilted his head and asked: "How long can it last?"
"One month has been overwhelming."
A stern look flashed across Xing's eyes, and Zhao Jin turned his head, "I will save your life."
After hearing this assurance, Ling Rui took a long breath and relaxed his shoulders.
He knew that his life was completely saved.
Before Zhao Jin left, he asked Ling Rui a question, "Why did you suddenly turn around and kill Zhao Xingyu?"
"I hate traitors the most." Ling Rui's voice had no fluctuations, even a little cold.
However, Zhao Jin heard hatred from it. When he turned to look at Ling Rui's back, he could see that all his muscles were tense and the veins in his neck were exposed.
Suddenly, Ling Rui added, "It's also to survive."
The toes of his right foot touched the ground, and with a strong push, he turned around and faced Zhao Jin face to face.
Ling Rui looked up at Zhao Jin, "In that situation, there was no possibility for Zhao Xingyu to escape."
The formation chosen by Zhao Jin was obviously to prevent the rebels from escaping, so Zhao Xingyu had no chance.
"In this case, by killing the rebel leader, I must have done something good. If I provide some information, it will not be difficult to survive."
