Chapter 60 Rectify Jiangling
In a quiet room in the back hall of Jiangling Mansion, Lu Qiang sat on a chair with a cold face, and there was no escort beside him. On the table beside him was the jade seal handed over by Huan Xuan.
Huan Xuan and Bian Fan knelt in front of Lu Qiang with a gray face, trembling, like two livestock to be slaughtered.
These two people are very sure that the person sitting above is Sima Dezong, who was once regarded as a waste by them. Although they are puzzled about how the original waste has become like this, they are now very clear about one thing, that is, their lives are in the hands of others.
The once invincible and the once call for wind and rain have long disappeared from them, and the rest is just to shake their tails and beg for mercy, praying for this person to spare them to die.
Lu Qiang was also a little embarrassed. Once upon a time, he wanted to kill Huan Xuan tens of thousands of times, and even this was the driving force for him to climb up.
But now Lu Qiang can't just think about revenge. He has more things to think about. Now he is no longer alone. In addition to the newly integrated army, more than 10,000 people are following him. No matter what he does, he must think about these people.
The silent pressure is sometimes more frightening, and I don't know how long it will take, just when Huan Xuan and Bian Fanzhi are about to despair.
Lu Qiang, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, "I can forgive you, but there is one condition that you are not allowed to mention my identity to anyone. If you can do this, I will let you go."
"Can... Your Majesty.. General, don't worry, we promise to keep our mouth shut and never reveal your identity."
The two shouted almost in one voice.
Huan Xuan is already an abandoned person. Although Bian Fanzhi is a little resourceful, this person is too loyal to Huan Xuan, and the death of Wang Shen's love has nothing to do with him, so Lu Qiang will never use him.
If Lu Qiang doesn't kill them now, it doesn't mean that he won't kill them in the future. The reason why he wants to let them go is, on the one hand, to create a benevolent and righteous impression for the people of Jingzhou. On the other hand, letting them away can also attract the attention of some people, at least not pay too much attention to him.
Huan Xuan is alive and can still disperse the power of the Huan family. Even if he can reintegrate the power of the Huan family, what kind of storm can he set off with an incompetent person like him? If he can really unite the remnants of the Huan family, Lu Qiang would thank him instead.
The reason why Lu Qiang believes that these two people will not go out to publicize their true identity is that whether anyone can believe it or not, so that they are really no different from looking for death. I believe that with their IQ, they will understand the key.
After explaining them, Lu Qiang ordered the two to be sent to the boat with great fanfare, and also mercifully gave them some money to avoid them starving to death on the road.
In addition to them, of course, some of their families are dismissed on the spot if they don't want to go with them.
None of the soldiers are willing to go with them. I don't know if this is a betrayal?
When the two were released, Wang Zhen didn't say anything, but Tao Yuanming didn't understand. He thought that such a traitor should be a typical example and an example.
Lu Qiang just smiled and didn't say anything about Tao Yuanming's opinion. He has found that Tao Yuanming is indeed very knowledgeable and good at internal affairs, but he lacks urgent wisdom and is not suitable to be a counselor.
After arranging Huan Xuan, the next step is the rectification of Jiangling. Although there were some officials in Jiangling, who can guarantee that they will be one with themselves? So he first began to appoint officials and form his own team as the governor of Jingzhou and the military governor of Jingzhou.
However, there are too few people available, so we can only take Tao Yuanming as the governor of the governor and be in charge of Jingzhou government affairs.
Wang Zhen is evil as Sima and is in charge of all military affairs, logistics and other affairs in Jingzhou. His power is second only to Lu Qiang. Jingzhou is actually the second-in-command.
Zhou Kui is the guardian of the army and leads Jiangling's soldiers and horses under the leadership of Lu Qiang, the governor of Jingzhou. However, his ability is average, and Lu Qiang can only use him temporarily because there is no one in his hand.
All the officials of the rest of the divisions will be selected by Tao Yuanming and Wang Zhen, and then reported to Lu Qiang for approval.
Mr. Linlin can't finish these things in a while, but the most important thing is the army. It still needs some means to make Jingzhou's army completely become his own private army.
On the evening of the third day, Lu Qiang hosted a banquet for the captain in the best restaurant in Jiangling. He was afraid of inviting these people in the government, and these generals who were still a little wary of him would not come.
On this day, the scout finally came the news that 10,000 Beifu troops, led by He Wuji, were killing Jiangling.
What should come always comes, but Lu Qiang still doesn't want to be an enemy of the Beifu army.
Before the dinner time, Lu Qiang first set up a banquet in the government office, and then ordered someone to invite Fan Cheng over.
Fan Cheng has had a very bad life these days. Although his life is not in danger, he is not free to act. He can't help but hate Lu to the extreme.
Seeing Lu Qiang, he didn't see any courtesy. He looked at the wine and dishes on the table and said with a sneer, "What, are you going to kill me?"
Lu Qiang smiled indifferently: "I have no grudge against Brother Fan. Why did I kill you? This meal is just a practice of wine, please sit down"
Fan Cheng was not in a hurry to sit down. He looked at Lu Qiang with a little disbelief and said, "Are you going to let me go? Aren't you afraid that I will tell General Liu about your ambition?
"Under the world, is it the king's land, the guest of the earth, the king's minister? I rescued the King of Langya and restored my Jin orthodoxy. What's the ambition? I'm afraid General Liu's idea is not that simple, is it?
Although Fan Cheng is Liu Yu's confidant, Liu Yu has always disguised himself well. In the eyes of most of his subordinates, he is a loyal and patriotic general, so Lu Qiang said that Liu Yu is ambitious, and Fan Cheng only thinks he is provoking.
He said with hatred: "It's useless to say more. Since you let me go, you don't have to pretend to hold a banquet. I will keep everything you do to me in mind."
How could Lu Qiang be afraid of his threat? He said indifferently, "In this case, I won't keep you. Please tell General He that the King of Langya has been rescued by me and he can come to pick up people. But if you want to fight against Jingzhou, don't blame Lu for not talking about friendship."
"Hmm!"
Fan Cheng snorted angrily, turned around and left.
He Guangsheng and others behind Lu Qiang were so angry that they were about to chase them out, but they were stopped by Lu Qiang waving his hand.
"Let him go! It's enough to wrong him these days."
As he spoke, a murder flashed in his eyes and said, "Are you ready at night?"
"General, don't worry, no one can run away"
He Guangsheng has been following Lu Qiang these days, which can be said to be inseparable. He vaguely heard something about Lu Qiang's identity. In surprise, he also knew that he had picked up the treasure. Isn't it right for Lu Qiang to die?
A total of 20 officers invited by Lu Qiang tonight are the main generals of each battalion. These people turned out to follow Huan Xuan. Since they can betray Huan Xuan, how can Lu Qiang guarantee that they will not betray themselves in the future? With these people, there are some unstable factors after all. So he has decided to take the opportunity to catch them all, and then reorganize the army as soon as possible to install his own people.
As the last ray of residual sun fell, the gate also closed in a rumble.
Just before the gate closed, a thin donkey slowly entered the city with an old woman who came to visit her daughter.
However, the old woman was not in a hurry to find her daughter, but rode a donkey straight to the government office. As she passed the government office, a light suddenly flashed in her seemingly cloudy eyes, glanced at the government office quickly, and then lowered her head and rushed forward.
Feihe Tower is the most luxurious restaurant in Jiangling. It is said that the owner of this restaurant is the Huan family, but after the Huan family fled, the restaurant has never been closed, which seems to show the world that it has nothing to do with the Huan family.
Although Jiangling City has changed its owner, it has not been affected at all, and after knowing that Huan Xuan has been exiled, all the people can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least there is no need to fight.
Especially those military households who are about to get land, they have almost not been offered Lu Qiang's position now. Their military households used to have this kind of treatment!
In this case, the originally dead city seemed to have come back to life overnight, and many people with property began to linger in the Red Mansions.
There are also many people who come to the Flying Crane Tower banquet tonight, but after arriving, they will be politely persuaded to go back, because this place has been chartered by the new Assassin Lord Lu.
Before the time of the banquet, the generals of the battalion gathered one after another. It should be said that they were not unprepared at first, but in the past few days, they have been almost paralyzed by Lu Qiang.
Huan Xuan left countless gold, silver, money and silk. Of course, Lu Qiang did not have any heartache about these effortless things. He gave them to these generals with various names almost every day, directly creating a kind of Lu Qiang's idea that they can't do.
So after receiving Lu Qiang's invitation today, he rushed over at the hour.
Just after these people entered the restaurant, there was a sudden change in the street, and a team of heavily armed soldiers came out of nowhere. Blocking the streets, all the people were persuaded to go home.
The same is true in the barracks. Some people took the tokens and letters of appointment of the Assassin, promoted some deputy officers to presidents, and then transferred them to other battalions.
This can ensure that they don't know the generals and the generals. Even if someone has any ideas, they can't make any waves.
Twenty generals sat at two large tables. Some wine and dishes have been served, but Lu Qiang hasn't arrived yet. Of course, they can't do it first.
However, no one doubts that Lu Qiang's paralysis work in the early stage was so good.
The generals sat together talking about war and women, noisy, like a vegetable market.
I don't know how long it took, and finally someone found something wrong. Not to mention the wine and dishes, the maid who had just stood at the door disappeared.
"Why hasn't Lord Lu come yet?"
"It seems wrong..."
Before the messy words fell, the windows on all sides suddenly opened at the same time, and countless sharp arrows with cold light appeared in the window.
"No, we were fooled..."
"Arrow"
I don't know who issued an order outside the window, and the arrows shot into the room like raindrops.
Although these are generals, they also know how to guard against bows and arrows, but at this close range, in the face of locust-like arrow rain, how many arrows can be prevented?
In a blink of an eye, the elegant room of the restaurant seemed to have a piece of arrow feathers on the flat ground, and each general was hit by dozens of feathers and arrows, becoming a veritable hedgehog.
After the arrow rain stopped, He Guangsheng came in with a team of soldiers. Looking at the bodies all over the ground, he said in a ferocious voice, "Everyone can make up for a knife, and never leave a living mouth."
In fact, he also knew that no one could survive under this kind of shooting, but just in case, he ordered the soldier to make up another knife on everyone.
Then the soldiers carried these people downstairs in sacks. At this time, several carriages were waiting outside the building. After loading the bodies, the carriage quickly started and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.
On the side of the restaurant, the soldiers pulled up feather arrows, wiped the blood stains, and picked up the overturned tables and chairs. Soon, it was as if nothing had happened here.
The street also quickly regained calm, but behind the restaurant and in the room of the original shopkeeper, at this moment, the shopkeeper knelt in front of Lu Qiang like a sieve.
"Big... Lord, spare your life, little... There's nothing you can do about it."
Lu Qiang waved his hand and said, "I'm not a good person to kill. As long as you are loyal to me from now on, you have your own benefits. I will protect your family, and you must also change to my people. Are these no problem!"
Lu Qiang already knew that this restaurant was the eyeliner of the Huan family, so he took it down with a thunderous momentum and let it obey his orders.
Huan Xuan was defeated, but Huan Xuan also had many family members to lead the army, and some officials who obeyed the orders of the Huan family, which are unstable factors.
If you want to be invincible, you must know yourself and your enemy.
Unconsciously, the night was already very deep. When he came out of the restaurant and walked on the empty street, Lu Qiang suddenly had an unreal feeling.
It doesn't seem to be long from time travel to now, right? But why is it like many years?
Lu Qiang in his previous life never sighed about this. If Wang Shen loved him, maybe he would not be like this, but how many if in the world?
The night breeze, I don't know if it's because I just killed someone, and there seems to be a trace of blood in the air.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the government office, Lu Qiang suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at a big tree in front of the government office.
