Chapter 59 Turning Hands to Cloud

In the morning, the morning sun emitted thousands of rays of light through the cracks in the clouds. Soon, the dark clouds dissipated, the fiery red sun jumped out, and a new day began.

Jiangling City did not stop overnight, fighting fires, shouting killing... It didn't stop until dawn.

The people of Jiangling who got up early in the morning suddenly found that there were no officers and soldiers in the city, and the gate opened, as if these officers and soldiers had evaporated overnight.

Of course, the army of nearly 10,000 people could not disappear out of thin air, but all gathered together. At this moment, they are listening to the lecture on the big campus in the west of the city.

Now even Huan Xuan has to admire the courage of this guy who caught him. How dares to bring all his men together with only dozens of his people? This guy is not too bold. I guess he was kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a child.

Although Huan Xuan still fantasized that his men could come to save him, but with two knives behind him, he did not dare to act rashly. No matter how important power and wealth are, life is not important!

Taking this step, it can be said that Lu Qiang has no choice but to come here as soon as possible. He will not arrive until tomorrow. During this period, although Huan Xuan is in his own hands, who dares to guarantee that nothing will happen?

After thinking about it, Lu Qiang made another bold decision.

He used Huan Xuan's military charm to gather all the people and horses to the school, and then escorted Huan Xuan to the high platform of the school.

He is gambling that Huan Xuan has lost his heart and gambled that Huan Xuan's men are afraid to fight against him.

Huan Xuan's actions are not restricted. He looks like a normal person. The difference is that he is followed by two shadow-like bodyguards.

Forty Lu Qiang's men stood in front of the stage in a row, bowed and stringed out of the sheath. Although the number is small, the momentum is beyond the reach of these Jiangling soldiers.

They themselves are strong soldiers, and they are more sure of Lu Qiang's ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain. It's not wrong to follow such a commander.

Bian Fanzhi was treated the same way. Lu Qiang faked Huan Xuan's order and looked at him after cheating Bian Fanzhi who had just arrived home to Huan Xuan's house.

Bian Fanzhi saw Lu Qiang, but at that time, Lu Qiang was completely different from his current image. Therefore, although he was suspicious and felt that this person was very familiar, he did not think about him, Sima Dezong.

The generals under the high platform have also experienced a hundred battles, and although they have different intentions, they are still loyal to Huan Xuan. At this moment, as soon as they see Huan Xuan's appearance, they know that they are coerced by others, and suddenly someone shouted.

However, after all, he is afraid of Huan Xuan's safety, and no one dares to act rashly. At the same time, they also wonder who these people are. Why are you so bold?

Lu Qiang knew that there would be such a scene and turned his head to look at Huan Xuan. In this case, he could no longer wear a mask, and although Huan Xuan felt that this person was familiar, he also did not remember who he was.

Wang Kai hit Huan Xuan with a knife. Huan Xuan sighed helplessly, took two steps forward, and said loudly to the generals below, "Brothers, don't be dry. This is the new governor of Jingzhou sent by the court. Lord Lu, he has something to say to everyone."

Although Huan Xuan's voice was weak, many generals and soldiers near the high platform still heard it.

Officials sent by the court? So what are you? Isn't it the emperor of Chu?

In fact, when Huan Xuan escaped from Jiankang, he did not dare to claim to be the emperor again.

The generals now heard what he said, thinking that he had resubjugated to the court. They were silent for a while, but they had all kinds of ideas at the same time. After all, they also followed Huan Xuan to overthrow the court to rebel. Will the court investigate afterwards?

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Qiang stepped forward and glanced at the confused soldiers below with a solemn expression.

The rising morning sun shone on Lu Qiang, as if he had put on a holy coat, just like a god, which made some of the soldiers below nervous and subconsciously closed their mouths and listened attentively to what he wanted to say.

"I want to announce a few things here on behalf of the court. First, all those who followed Huan Xuan's usurpation before, as long as they sincerely repent, the court will not blame the past"

"Second, in order to pray for the forgiveness of the court, Huan Xuan has donated all his property, including land, to the court, and this official is here on behalf of the court and solemnly promised his brothers that all part of Huan Xuan's land will be given to you, starting from 10 mu each, with a father and son in the army, except for 20 mu of land. Outside, the son stays, the father leaves, and the brothers are in the barracks, and they are treated the same."

Lu Qianglang's voice clearly came to the ears of every soldier present, and these two extremely lethal conditions really stirred up a thousand waves, making the soldiers suddenly boil.

Huang Xuan started his life in Jingzhou and is a rich family. How can the whole family own more than one million land? Even these soldiers get 10 mu each, but only 200,000 mu. Although it is not much, it is already a lot of wealth for ordinary military households. No wonder these soldiers are excited.

However, Huan Xuan and Bian Fanzhi on the stage suddenly changed their faces like dead ashes. It was not that they were heartbroken the land, but Lu Qiang's move, which was hitting their weakness. In this case, who would like to follow them into Shu?

"Your Excellency, what you said is true..."

Countless same voices sounded almost at the same time.

Seeing the warm eyes of the soldiers, Lu Qiang's heart couldn't help but let go. It was like a gambler who bet all his money as a bet, and when he knew that the joy was indescribable.

But this was just the beginning, and then Lu Qiang threw another blockbuster.

"Most of the brothers don't know yet! Lord Huan is ready to take you away from your hometown to drill into the mountains in Shu. He will be the imperial official and will soon be the parent official of Jingzhou. Although he is reluctant to leave you to travel far, if someone is willing to follow Huan Xuan, he will never stop him."

Lu Qiang's treasure has undoubtedly been corrected again. In fact, rumors about retreating to Shuzhong have long been spread in the army, but after all, this is a rumor, and the generals have not confirmed it. In fact, they do not know whether the news is correct or not.

Now Lu Qiang announced it in public, and gave the soldiers such a big piece of cake in front of him. Who would like to follow a finished master?

Besides, people in this era have a very serious concept of locality, and no one wants to leave their hometown unless they have to.

The soldiers are boiling again.

"We won't go, and we won't go..."

Not everyone is excited. Some generals who are still loyal to Huan Xuan or have other ideas in their hearts are a little unnatural at this moment.

However, these people also know in their hearts that the military has dissipated. Now with the strength of several of them, it is impossible to turn the table.

You should know that Lu Qiang represents the imperial court, which is where the great righteousness lies. It is not that that person casually came up to hold Huan Xuan, which can cause this result.

Lu Qiang secretly put the expressions of these people in his heart. Now is not the time to pay attention to them. We must fight while the iron is hot and completely subdue these soldiers.

He pressed his hands down, signaling everyone not to make noise, and then said loudly, "Today's royal brother, Langya Wang Qiansui"

Some people know and some people don't know about Sima Dewen's identity, but his appearance at this moment is undoubtedly more stable.

At this time, Sima Dewen, who had changed into a gorgeous suit and a solemn face, strode on the stage.

Lu Qiang had already discussed with him and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, but as soon as he bent halfway, he was supported by Sima Dewen.

"Emperor... General, don't be rude. I still have to rely on a loyal man like the general!"

Although he had practiced many times, Sima Dewen almost called out the royal brother at first sight of his powerful royal brother.

The capital of Huan Xuan and Bian Fan was not far away. Sima Dewen's expressions and words clearly came to their ears. The two couldn't help shaking their bodies and once again stared at Lu Qiang.

It doesn't matter. The more you look at it, the more it looks like "Why is it him? Why is he here? No.. It won't be him..." Although he comforted himself, he couldn't help thinking, "Since he appeared, can you forgive us?" Unconsciously, the two of them were extremely nervous and afraid, and their bodies began to shake, and then their legs softened and collapsed on the high platform.

Lu Qiang knew that they had recognized him and said coldly, "Shut up if you want to live."

At this time, it's time for Sima Dewen to perform. After all, he is a member of the royal family. He doesn't have to deliberately disguise himself, and he has a temperament that others can't compare with.

"You and others are all loyal righteous men of the Jin Dynasty. Although they were deceived for a while, it is not too late to return. I am here on behalf of the royal brother and the court, and fully support all the decisions of General Lu. Amnesty and others are innocent, and everyone can be divided into the land of the Huan family. I swear here in the name of my ancestors that if there is any falsehood, people and gods will abandon it together."

In ancient times, it was not a casual oath, especially the oath made by King Langya in the name of his ancestors.

After Sima Dewen's words, he only believed seven points, but now he also believes ten points.

Near 10,000 soldiers knelt on the ground at the same time and shouted, "We are willing to be loyal to your majesty and loyal to the court without any intention"

At this point, Lu Qiang took a long breath and ordered Wang Kai and others to escort Huan Xuan and Bian Fan first, and then summoned battalion officers to come to discuss the matter.

Now Sima Dewen can't go back. Lu Qiang's strength is not strong enough, but the flag of brother must be pulled up.

At this time, someone came to report that hundreds of people of the Huan family fled from the south gate and fled there.

These people can escape. It's useless to catch up. Anyway, the gold and silver treasures accumulated by Huan Xuan are already in hand.

Let these officers go back to perform their respective duties and lead troops to guard the city gates everywhere. At the same time, officials are strictly prohibited from fleeing.

My own people haven't arrived yet, and now I have to rely on these people to manage this city. Moreover, Jingzhou is vast. If you want to be completely in your hands, you can't complete it in a day and a half.

At the same time, he sent someone to urge Zhou Kui to speed up. He was not at ease without his own people around.

Fortunately, whether Zhou Kui or Wang Zhenbei and others, after receiving the news that Lu Qiang had controlled Huan Xuan, they knew that the situation was urgent. Immediately ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed. When the sailors were tired, they changed people, took turns to drive the boat, drove out the original two-day journey in one day, and finally rushed to Jiangling that night.

This also made Lu Qiang, who was on guard, finally relieved, but he did not dare to be careless. He ordered to give the exhausted soldiers an hour's rest, and then immediately take over the city defense and completely control the city.
