The hundreds of people by the side of Shaopidu were not ordinary soldiers, they were all mid-level generals and above from the Chinese and foreign armies in Yangzhou and the military garrison, including many generals and officials such as Zhuge Dan.
So Queen Mother Guo, who was surrounded by a group of maids in green clothes with hair and swords, wearing silkworm clothes and a seal ribbon, came in. Although she was wearing a tulle scarf, someone quickly recognized Queen Mother Guo.
People who have never seen the person and only heard the voice can roughly guess the identity when they see the clothes.
No one greeted the generals, but everyone gradually became silent.
This is not as simple as an edict from His Highness, but His Highness himself. In addition to the governor, governor and other high officials, Wang Ling also has various generals under his command. Some of them have seen His Highness or heard voices in the court.
.Edicts may be faked, but people cannot be faked!
Huan Fan, Zhuge Dan and others had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They stood there with eyes wide open and could not help but bend down a little.
Wang Ling and his son, Linghu Yu, and Qin Liang already knew the identity of Queen Mother Guo. When they saw her coming, they first bowed to her.
Several of the most powerful people in Yangzhou bowed to a woman. It was self-evident who she was. But no one came forward to confirm the identity of Empress Dowager Guo, and it was so sudden to everyone that most people didn't know it for a while.
Come back to your senses.
At this time, Queen Mother Guo walked to the small mound where the altar was set up and said: "When the country is in crisis and the country is in danger..."
Several civil and military officials in front were kneeling on the ground, including Zhuge Dan, Huan Fan, Wang Jinhu and others.
Queen Mother Guo glanced at them and said, "No courtesy."
There was an uproar among the crowd who were still watching, and many people were asking: "Is it really Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother?"
One after another, more people bowed down and bowed their heads. Most of the generals confirmed the identity of Queen Mother Guo from others or were coerced. Gradually, a large number of people knelt down in the open space. People spoke various words and greeted her respectfully.
Your Highness, I didn’t know that Your Highness was coming so suddenly there was another burst of noise.
Empress Dowager Guo said: "You are all loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty. Please get up."
Wang Ling said loudly: "Your Highness asked the generals to refrain from courtesy and listen to the imperial edict first."
Wang Ling, who is in his seventies, is indeed in good health. He speaks with great energy and is more energetic than many people in their fifties and sixties.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone thanked him one after another and got up from the ground one after another.
Empress Dowager Guo said coldly at this time: "Sima Yi has committed a rebellion and is kidnapping the emperor in Luoyang. He is killing his relatives, assistants, and ministers. He is acting recklessly and ambitiously. The Wei Dynasty is in danger. I was alert in advance and escaped in advance.
In Kyoto, thanks to the support of Wang Yanyun and other loyal ministers from the country, we were lucky enough not to be harmed. Today there is no other way. I hope that the loyal ministers and good generals will kill the treacherous ministers, and the diligent king will fight against the rebellion and clear the emperor's side."
Wang Ling shouted: "His Royal Highness has issued an edict to King Qin to fight against rebellion and clear your side!"
The generals echoed one after another, and many of them may not have quite understood the situation. Seeing that the generals on the peak were responding, they also shouted. The sparkling Shao Pidu seemed to be more turbulent amidst the noisy shouts.
Wang Ling said again: "Today we obey His Highness's order, we will pledge our blood to become an alliance, and raise our troops to Luo! Come, please read His Highness's edict, and then bury the oath of alliance in sacrifice. Shao Pidu will serve as proof. If there is any violation,
Those who swear this will be punished by heaven and earth!"
After saying this, someone took the imperial edict and passed it to the crowd. White horses and oxen were also brought up. Because there were too many people, the soldiers used small bowls to hold the blood and distribute it.
Most of the people here had just learned about the big event, and there was a lot of discussion among the people for a while, but the edict had already been passed, so everyone was looking at the edict. Some people, encouraged by everyone, were daubing blood on their lips in a daze.
superior.
At this moment, Qin Liang calmly walked onto the mound, bowed to Queen Mother Guo, Wang Ling and others first, then turned around and said: "I am General Huwei, Qin Liang, the governor of Lujiang County, many brothers in Yangzhou should
Everyone knows me."
Someone below shouted: "Ruhu!"
Qin Liangming nodded: "I worked as a capital official in Luoyang and knew some people. The news was faster than everyone else's, but then everyone could find out what happened in Luoyang.
The general's wife and the late emperor's concubine (Cao Shuang's concubine) were annihilated. The majestic Princess Wei kowtowed to Sima Yi's son and begged for mercy. The dignity of the royal family was lost. The general and countless other ministers and family members were killed. Your Majesty was too frightened and handed over the surrender.
Imperial jade seal."
When the generals heard this, they suddenly became very noisy.
Qin Liang raised his hand and made a gesture, "Needless to say, Sima Yi's attack on the arsenal when his troops were in danger, and his seizure of Sima Gate by force were all serious crimes of treason. You are all knowledgeable generals, and if you think about it, Sima Yi did it
What do you want to do with these things?"
Countless eyes looked at Qin Liang, and some people were whispering among themselves.
Qin Liang said: "Isn't Sima Yi afraid of being punished afterwards? Not to mention the enemies he insulted and killed, if your majesty is not controlled by him, can you tolerate such things? He is not afraid! Because he wants to be emperor, and the Sima family wants to replace the big brother
Wei Sheji!"
People's emotions were more intense than before, and the sounds of cursing and cursing could be heard all the time.
Qin Liang added: "The Sima family swore an oath on Luo Shui, cursed and swore not to harm the general's life. In the blink of an eye, within a few days, they killed the general's whole family! And they did all the humiliating things. Kill everyone who had the slightest connection!
In this way, regardless of the indiscriminate nature, as long as they are against his ambitions and threatening people, he will kill them. It is unfaithful, unfaithful and unjust! If everyone is silent at this time and pretends not to see it, everyone's wealth and life will be protected in the future.
, is it still safe?
The gangster intends to threaten the public with a knife, and a hero must be the first to stand up and uphold justice. Generals, you are the hero! As long as we strike first, the millions of people in the world who control strings will surely respond. The iron armor of justice,
It is about to come to Luoyang, and the time to judge the sins has arrived!" As Qin Liang understands, most people, as long as they have not been alienated by extreme experiences, are inclined to be kind, otherwise people in the world would not have to do things.
Looking for justice. Sure enough, the generals were filled with righteous indignation. Many people shouted: "Surge into Luoyang!" "The guilty will be punished..." Wen Qin shouted the loudest, his eyes widened, he obviously wanted revenge.
Qin Liang knew this well and continued to shout loudly: "Without this battle, the State of Wei, to which you are loyal, would have perished. The unfaithful and unjust Sima family would have become the emperor, and the world would have perished. From now on, the great empire of China will be destroyed."
The earth is full of barbarians. God has chosen you to save the country and the people in this battle! What you have done today is not only a major event in the world, but also a great contribution to the future. It will bless future generations and will shine in history!"
Hundreds of people in the open space were already boiling. People were waving their arms, gnashing their teeth, their faces flushed, and they wanted to rush into Luoyang immediately.
When Huan Fan and others saw that Qin Liang's words had incited so many generals, they were surprised and shocked. Wang Ling and others cast approving glances and slightly nodded to Qin Liang. After all, even though he said now
It's so great. A person with millions of people controlling strings is actually very risky. The heads of the entire clan are hanging in the air, and everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.
Qin Liang waited for a while, his tone calmed down, and he said: "Go back and tell the soldiers that those who died fighting for the country or have disabilities that affect their labor will be compensated. Each family will be counted on a per capita basis, and the elderly, children, and women will all be counted, and each person will be given fertile land."
Fifteen acres of land, as well as iron plows, grain, seeds, and several farm cattle, mules, horses, and other livestock are also given as gifts, with tax exemptions and reductions, and royal rewards are not included.
Meritorious officers and soldiers will receive generous rewards, and His Highness has made it clear that he will not begrudge his official position and property. I boldly predict that more than half of all of you here will be granted the title of marquis. This is the time to make your achievements."
The generals heard that most people could be granted the title of marquis, and Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager was standing by as a guarantee. Looking at the countless eyes here, there were some changes. In fact, as long as the battle was won, a large number of marquises was not a big problem. Sima Yi was just one
There are thousands of households in the city, and many people in the family can be granted marquisships. Just taking away the things awarded to the Sima family by the Wei Dynasty can be distributed to hundreds of people! Of course, if the battle is lost, many people will die and their lives will not be saved.
, what else do you want to be granted a title of marquis?
Qin Liang paused for a moment and then narrated: "I have detailed work in Soochow. There is a plague in Jianye and other places at this time, which will not threaten Yangzhou for the time being. Shouchun, Lu'an and other places will also stay and garrison troops. And there are a large number of troops in Yuzhou
We will take the food and grass by surprise and immediately seize the food and grass first. We have a sure chance of winning this battle. All generals encourage each other!"
At this moment, Queen Mother Guo said a few words to Wang Ling.
Wang Ling stood up and said: "His Royal Highness has issued an edict to command all King Qin's troops to attack Sima Yi. He has ordered Qin Liang to supervise all the military forces in Yuzhou. During the holidays, he will lead the vanguard to attack the sun!"
(Guanqiu Jian is still in Youzhou, and Wang Chang is the governor of Jing, Yu. There is no governor of Yuzhou yet, and the governor is Han Guan, a very old man.)
The three of them bowed their heads and thanked them, and Qin Liang said in public: "I will not be partial to relatives or friends, nor will I be partial to personal interests. I will reward and punish fairly, and fight the enemy bravely until I win."
