"Yang Han," Lu Guang said sincerely, "what kind of person is Liang Xi? You have been a local official in Liangzhou for a long time. You know better than me. This man was a capable official in peacetime. It can be said that he loved the people like his son and was honest.
Integrity, but you know that if the king is defeated, we will soon be in troubled times! Liang Xi cannot defend Liangzhou."
"That doesn't allow you to take advantage of others!" Yang Han said with a stiff neck, "Lv Guang, your talent may be far superior to Liang Xi's, and your army is even more powerful, but there is one thing you can't take away, and that is people's hearts!"
"I can encourage people to farm and mulberry trees, protect the people, and neglect corvee and underpay taxes, but how can I not win their hearts and minds?"
"But at least you can't take my heart away!"
"Why are you so persistent? There are hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou. Now the world is in chaos. Liang Xi cannot protect them. Even if you think about them, you must work hard to prevent Liangzhou from war and disaster!"
"You want me to recruit Liangzhou for you?" Yang Han asked with his eyelids rolling.
"If sir is willing to go, that would be great."
"This is impossible! Yang Han was so kind to his envoy, and now he has been captured by miscalculation. He has already failed his envoy. What he wants now is nothing more than death. If it can be fulfilled, that is the best. If not, it will be nothing more than a living death.
That’s all, Yang Han won’t advise you, won’t govern the place for you, and won’t even speak anymore.”
Lu Guang shook his head helplessly. This Yang Han had long been famous. It was said that when he was down and out, Liang Xi was kind to him. Therefore, when he became an official, he always considered Liang Xi. It felt like a scholar would die for his confidant. See
Get up and try to persuade him to surrender, but it is impossible.
Duan Ye, who had been watching with cold eyes, said at this time: "Jie Xia, time is running out now. Once the news of your Majesty's defeat is fermented, the hearts of people everywhere will inevitably change. Time waits for no one."
"you mean?"
"Leave troops to garrison Gaochang and seize Yiwu Pass quickly. Haha, this is a good plan from our Lord Yang. If we quickly deploy troops to defend Yiwu Pass now, we will be in big trouble."
"Everyone is his own master! Even though I know it, the envoy will not use my strategy, alas." Yang Han's face was full of melancholy as his ambition was unfulfilled.
"Then Mr. Yang..." Lu Guang hesitated.
"Mr. Yang, benevolence will lead to benevolence. Let's help him, huh?" Duan Ye's mouth curled up, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you Duan for joining the army!" Yang Han was also very proud.
Lu Guang nodded silently. He knew that this was not the time for benevolence and righteousness. "Duan Canjun, please send Mr. Yang on his way."
"It's been prepared." Duan Ye waved his hand, and Duan Ping had already brought a plate with just a glass of wine in it. Duan Ye raised the cup and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, this wine contains medicine that can seal your throat when you see blood.
, drink it quickly, you will be relieved, at least you will have some dignity, what do you think?"
"Hmph!" Yang Han was not afraid, "Thank you Duan Canjun for giving me such thoughtful consideration! But I also have a message for you! Those who do unjust things will be punished by death! Give me the wine!"
He took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp under the watchful eyes of Lu Guang and Duan Ye!
When they saw that Yang Han had finished drinking, the two warriors who were controlling him also let go of him! Yang Han was a scholar after all. After drinking the poisonous wine, he knelt down towards the east and shouted "Envoy!"
He was speechless and made a "hehe" sound in his throat. It was obvious that the poison had taken effect.
After struggling hard on the ground for a few times, Yang Han twisted his neck and died from the poison.
Lu Guang looked at Yang Han's body silently, waved his hand and said, "Carry it down and give him a good burial. He is a loyal minister!"
Two soldiers came in and carried Yang Han's body down. Lu Guang looked at Duan Ye meaningfully and said: "Give me the order to blockade the nine cities. Only entry is allowed and no exit is allowed. The army will rest for one day. Early tomorrow morning,
Let’s set off!”
"yes!"
Lu Guang stabbed away, and Duan Ye sighed deeply. Thinking of Yang Han's expression when he was dying and Lu Guang's last look, he felt sad in his heart.
What he meant just now is actually very obvious. Duan Ye knew it, and Lu Guang knew it even more. To put it simply, Duan Ye poisoned Yang Han to death. To a certain extent, it can be said that he handed over the name certificate to Lu Guang!
In fact, the two of them had expected that Yang Han would not surrender. Moreover, although this Yang Han was quite popular among the people and had good political achievements, in this era where the big families had the final say, Yang Han, who was born in a poor family, did not
How much substantive influence is there? It makes no difference whether such a person is locked up or killed.
But one problem is that Yang Han is an official appointed by the Qin Empire after all. So far, Lu Guang has only supported Liang Xi and put down Zhang Dayu's rebellion, and has not openly rebelled!
Killing local officials was a clear sign of rebellion. Lu Guang did not necessarily want to kill Liang Xi to scare other officials in Liangzhou, but Duan Ye did it for him, which not only had the effect Lu Guang hoped for, but also betrayed Lu Guang.
Black pot.
Once the investigation is started, either Lu Guang is unfavorable, or Fu Jian takes control of the situation, then Duan Ye is the best scapegoat. Lu Guang knows this, and Duan Ye also knows this.
It would be impossible not to show sincerity at this time. Duan Ye was very glad that he had thought about this in advance.
As for Yang Han's life, Duan Ye can only say sorry.
Time for rest was precious, so Duan Ye still found a room in the prefect's mansion and wanted to have a good sleep.
It's a pity that this is destined to be a dream, because after sleeping on the road for a long time, I am full of energy now and come to the door again.
Duan Ye was very dissatisfied when he was woken up and roared: "What are you going to do? Sleeping is not peaceful! Get out of here!"
"Really going out?" Xian Sheng sat on the only table in the room, shaking his legs with a very amused expression.
"Really!" Duan Ye couldn't sleep anymore, sat up and said angrily.
"Then I have to go." Shengsheng jumped off the table and was about to leave. Duan Ye had no choice but to surrender, "Okay, okay, just tell me if you have anything to do."
"Ahem." Xian Sheng cleared his throat grandly and said seriously: "Two things. One thing is that I received a letter, but you must not be interested in this letter, so..."
"Yes, who said there isn't? How could it be?" Duan Ye quickly put on a smile, "Which of us will follow who, eh? Just give it to me."
"Humph, that's more like it." Shengsheng was no longer embarrassed and gave the letter to Duan Ye. Duan Ye didn't want to read it now, so he put the letter into his arms and asked, "What's one more thing?"
"This is a bit troublesome." Xian Sheng stopped joking, "When I entered the city today, Lu You happened to be out of the city. I think he might have recognized me."
"What did you say?" Duan Ye's voice changed! This seemed to be the biggest bad news.
