"You have acted on your own initiative and want to trap me to death!"
In the Xiangyang military camp, Liang Wang Xiao Jin glared at Yin Deyi and several others with a furious look on his face.
Several people who were kneeling in the tent to plead guilty were also full of fear and panic. Only Yin Deyi, who joined the army, looked calm. When he heard the scolding of King Liang, he even said in a deep voice: "My lord thought that I would not do this."
, the Lord can live peacefully in the world? The former attached himself to Wei, perhaps for survival and self-protection, but now he takes the initiative to lead the invaders to attack and destroy his own country, can the Lord feel no guilt? Now Wei is fighting within the country, and Li Boshan's army is hanging outside.
, The destination is uncertain, I can just gather the Jiangling soldiers to occupy the city and drive them away, causing them to lose their footing..."
"In the past, the traitors, the emperor, and the ministers were all in the city, and Jiangling was defeated in three days. Now, my lord, who is following the weak travelers, dares to think wildly and attack the victorious army of Wei?"
When Xiao Jin heard what Yin Deyi said, he said angrily: "I am the Prince of Liang who was personally granted the title by the Wei Dynasty. Now that the traitor court has been destroyed, I am the natural choice for the country..."
"Your Majesty, this idea is too foolish! If someone from the Wei State comes to attack, or they are afraid that the situation in Jiangling will be unstable, there is still a place to rely on the Lord. But Li Boshan has been in Jingxiang for a long time and is powerful in Jianghan, so why should he rely on the Lord's false name to come to peace?
Scholars and people in this country?"
After Yin Deyi heard what King Liang said, he sighed again.
King Liang was at a loss for words for a while, but he quickly pointed his halberd at him and said: "How clever is your plan..."
The masters and subordinates in the tent had not yet decided what was right and wrong. At this moment, another general came hurriedly into the tent and said: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened! Wei soldiers suddenly surrounded the camp in large numbers..."
Outside the Xiangyang military camp, Liang Shiyan led several battalions to surround the camp. Then he went to the camp gate and shouted inward, asking the King of Liang to quickly hand over Yin Deyi and other members who were spreading rumors and causing trouble.
The King of Liang had no choice but to personally escort Yin Deyi and other criminals to the gate of the camp. After delivering these people to Liang Shiyan, the King of Liang stepped forward and grabbed Liang Shiyan's horse bridle and whispered: "These are all Yin Deyi and others."
It is absolutely not my intention for all the members to be greedy for merit and forget their duty and make their own decisions! I beg Liang to open the government. I beg the government to express this intention to the general. We know each other well. How could I make such slander? I am in the camp.
There will be a banquet, and if the general is willing to forgive, he will go into the camp and have a pleasant conversation. If he is not willing to forgive, I will wait in the crime camp and let him be punished."
Liang Shiyan just nodded slightly after hearing this, and immediately escorted several people to the Chinese army's tent, but the soldiers he brought did not leave the Xiangyang army's camp, and still maintained the encirclement posture.
In the Chinese army's tent, as the Wei army stationed in the city lined up the certified evidence obtained from the investigation, Yin Deyi and others had no way of making excuses and could only confess to their crimes.
Several other Xiangyang ministers kowtowed and spared their lives, but Yin Deyi still glared and said: "General Li's entry into the country is not a visit from a friend? How can someone be unjust for making such remarks! It's very simple to confess one's personal desires. I will enter the city for my lord."
After obtaining the legal authority of the Liang family, Gongze led the Wei troops back to the east of the Han River. From then on, the Liang Kingdom has always been a friendly country and will never have any conflict! If so, why would I regret my death? If not, what crime would I have committed!"
When Li Tai heard these words, he couldn't help but sneered: "How could the Liang family's national fortune be suddenly lost at this time? The old man of the Xiao family destroyed the country and worshiped Buddhism, feeding thieves with his own body. He is greedy and stupid, and has become a laughing stock in the world.
, after his death, the clans and branches will fight each other, the family and the country will be uneasy, how can the King of Liang be safe without my protection?
Foreword, where is Yin? But he did something heroic, and he is not allowed to meet today. Now that the building has collapsed, it is not ridiculous to come from a minister who is a minister of the country. Besides, the plan is just to deceive the public, in order to revive the people of Jiangling.
Twists and turns, no courage and ugliness, nine deaths are inevitable!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, indicating that these people who had spread rumors and deceived the public would be dragged out and beheaded in public.
At this time, Liang Shiyan came in from the side and reported to Li Tai what King Liang said.
After listening to these words, Li Tai pondered for a moment, and then said to Liang Shiyan: "Go and tell King Liang that our deep love for each other is hard-earned. It would be a pity if it was wasted carelessly because of trivial matters. The Liang family's moral character has declined, so they lost it.
Country, this is not the fault of King Liang alone, and there is no need to harm himself too much.
Although the Liang Dynasty no longer exists, regardless of the kings, grandsons, or heads of Guizhou, instead of commemorating the dead, it is better to think about the future. Sick trees will fall down, and thousands of trees will be renewed, but if they are not entangled, they will all rot together!"
Historically, the Western Wei Dynasty had no intention of strategically managing the Shannan area. Especially when targeting Jiangling, it had the mentality of an invader and did everything possible to smash, smash and loot. That is to say, the Yangtze River was too long.
, they can’t take it away, otherwise even the Yangtze River will have to be rolled up and packed away, and will never be left to Jiangling.
Of course, they still left something for Jiangling, that is, Xiao Qi and the Western Liang monarchs and ministers who were forcibly moved from Xiangyang to Jiangling became their tools to divide and resist the Nanliang survivors and the later Nanchen division.
Nowadays, Li Tai has worked hard to retain Jiangling's vitality, of course not to give it to others. Moreover, Jingxiang is the base camp he manages carefully, and there is no need for a Xiliang like Yuwentai's hegemony in history.
Tool man.
To put it more realistically, with his current prestige and personnel accumulation among Jingxiang and Xiangxiang, Liang Wang Xiaoqing is somewhat respectable except for his birth. Otherwise, even if he is not worthy of carrying his shoes, why should he support him?
A completely worthless puppet of Xiliang?
Therefore, after Jiangling was captured, regardless of the follow-up of those moths in the lower reaches, at least between Jingxiang and Jingxiang, the rule of Nanliang came to an end and was completely over.
Friendship is friendship, and pros and cons are pros and cons. Li Tai never denied the friendship between him and King Liang, just as he had always appreciated Yu Wentai's kindness and support. However, they had different career plans, and they had to part ways in the end.
But if they encounter difficult problems in family life and other aspects in the future, Li Tai will definitely try his best to help. This is his code of conduct as a normal person, not a violent power animal.
After listening to Li Tai's explanation, Liang Shiyan resigned and returned to the Xiangyang military camp. Looking at the waiting eagerly, Liang Wang Xiaoqi, he relayed the general's words to Liang Wang word for word.
After hearing these words, the slight glimmer in King Liang's eyes suddenly dimmed. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His body swayed and he fell directly into the seat. It took him a while to cover his eyes.
Face, burst into tears.
Li Tai has no time to comfort King Liang for the time being. Although the first culprit of spreading the rumors has been found guilty, the negative impact has already been formed and has gradually affected the situation in Jiangling.
In recent days, people near Jiangjin have even carried logs into the river, hoping to escape by swimming. However, it is the end of the year and the cold winter season, and the river is freezing cold. People will lose body temperature quickly after entering the water, and they still want to swim long distances.
It's simply asking for death.
But even so, there were still people who were frightened by the rumors and threw themselves into the river. This shows that the Hou Jing's Rebellion caused harm to the people of Nanliang, and they would rather die than experience it again!
Faced with this situation, Li Tai was a little helpless and simply asked the masses, hoping to find a proper solution to calm the public sentiment in Jiangling.
However, the military generals did not have any good strategies to contribute to this. Liu Guangde, who had experienced the power of printing communication, had the idea of distributing leaflets. However, the dissemination of written messages still has its limitations nowadays, and if there is no good
The angle of refuting the rumors enhances the persuasiveness, but in the end it is probably just in vain.
When I was at my wits' end, I collected a strategy that looked more feasible in the camp where captured war criminals were detained.
The person who gave the advice was Lu Fahe, the former governor of Yingzhou in the Southern Liang Dynasty. He said that there was an old proverb in Jingzhou that if there are hundreds of Jingzhouzhous, the emperor will come out. Some people in Jiangling had made suggestions based on this and advised Xiao Yi not to proclaim himself emperor in Jiangling.
Go to Jiankang. Now we can hold another surrender ceremony outside Jiangling City in front of the masses, so that the people of Jiangling can witness with their own eyes that Emperor Liang Xiao Yi could not bear the destiny and could only hand it over to General Li.
Li Tai naturally doesn't believe in the so-called destiny. No matter how lucky he is, he still has to work hard and work tirelessly on the right path. But Lu Fahe's strategy can be regarded as defeating magic with magic.
, and Li Tai doesn't mind adding some sanctity to himself.
So soon a carefully rehearsed drama was staged in the north of Jiangling City. The sun was shining brightly on this day. Xiao Yi and other officials in Jiangling who had been imprisoned for a long time all went out of the city to ask for surrender. Many scholars and people gathered here inside and outside Jiangling City.
Watch the ceremony.
Li Tai and his generals surrendered in front of the camp gate. Today, he was wearing a majestic Mingguang armor, which was already shining under the sunlight. When Liang Emperor Xiao Yi's letter of surrender was handed over to him,
At this time, the whole body was bathed in golden light, the armor and clothes shone brightly, and the whole person was shrouded in dazzling brilliance.
This is naturally just a simple use of light and shadow reflection. Many armored soldiers scattered around the camp gate used bronze mirrors to refract the light. But in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers and people watching the ceremony, it was no different than a miracle, and they all exclaimed: "
The general is truly a god!"
After the surrender ceremony was held, various coordinated propaganda began. Under the personal witness of the Jiangling people, more and more people believed that because of General Li's unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, Jingzhou had accumulated thousands of years of destiny.
The anger was transferred from Xiao Yi, the king of the country, to General Li!
Soon all the noise in the city gradually disappeared, and the people's mood returned to calm, and they even became slightly excited. Although they were not people who liked the new and disliked the old, who didn't want the ruler to protect them from a benevolent and brave man?
A strongman? Although General Li came to power not long ago, his image of benevolence and bravery has already been established in the minds of the people of Jiangling.
Just after the public turmoil had just calmed down, envoys from the Western Wei Dynasty in Guanzhong arrived in Jiangling and began to try to restore contact with Li Tai.
