Chapter 203 Dissolution of Beifu

No matter how strong the Beifu army is, it is also composed of people. People must know fear and panic.

The news that the Jingzhou army was surrounded on all sides, the Beifu army was defeated in a row, and even the main general Liu Yu was going to surrender. After being spread by people of intention, it has become more and more evil in the barracks.

From this alone, it is not difficult to see that the Beifu Army is indeed a disciplined army, otherwise these rumors alone can make the army collapse without fighting.

After all, since the fight against the Jingzhou Army, the Beifu Army has never had the upper hand. Although nothing can be seen in the barracks, it is inevitable that people are panicked.

Lu Qiang was really surprised that Liu Muzhi came back so quickly, but at the same time, it also slightly changed his mind.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Liu Yu immediately abandoned the pawn to protect the commander and preferred to give up the army he relied on to save his life. It can be seen that he can tolerate what ordinary people can't stand. Once such a person indulges, will he really raise a tiger?

This time he met Liu Muzhi in person.

Liu Muzhi also learned to be obedient. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the big tent, he bent down and knelt down and worshipped Lu Qiang with a great salute.

"Your Majesty, the sinner Liu Muzhi, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live"

The last time Lu Qiang saw him was two years ago. After two years, Liu Muzhi did not change much, but he was a little black and thin.

smiled indifferently and said, "I have heard the name of Mr. Liu for a long time. At this moment, you can still run for the former Lord and can be called a loyal man. In this case, don't go back. The new establishment of the court is the time to employ people. As long as you are dedicated to the court, I... I won't treat you well."

It's really awkward to call myself like this for the first time.

Liu Muzhi is a little stupid. Why didn't Liu Yu mention it and deducted me first? Does he want to go back on his word?

Busy said, "It is my duty to be loyal to your majesty, but it's General Liu's..."

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "Have you ever heard what the emperor said? How can you go back on what you have said?" I added a sentence in my heart, "At least I won't regret it for now"

He picked up an edict from the case and continued: "The appointment of Lord Liu has been drawn up for a long time, but it really surprised me that Lord Liu could reply to me so quickly. Can you tell me the reason? Or does Liu Yu want to play the trick of lying on firewood and tasting gallbladder?

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, the sweat behind Liu Muzhi immediately came down. Lu Qiang's smiling expression was no different from the devil's smile in his eyes.

He knelt down again and said in a trembling voice: "The sinner can guarantee for General Liu. General Liu has no intention. He knows that he was guilty in the past, so he dares not come to see His Majesty. If His Majesty is really worried, he can give another edict to let General Liu go home to retire."

Lu Qiang sneered secretly. In this case, it's almost the same to deceive a fool.

said lightly, "Get up! Don't kneel down beside me in the future. I'm not used to it. You can go with the edict! I will give him a day to prepare. Tomorrow morning, I will ask all the Beifu army to put down their weapons and accept the adaptation of our army. I have arranged the ship for General Liu. At that time, he will lead the army to board the ship and go straight down to Xuzhou."

paused and said, "You stay in the camp first and cooperate with General Tan and Lord Wang to appease the soldiers in the north. At that time, I will make another decree to the sergeants. Well, that's it. Go!"

Liu Muzhi's underwear had been soaked with sweat at this time, and he felt what imperial power was for the first time. After bowing again, he turned around and retreated.

With the news of Liu Yu's surrender, the Beifu army battalion and Jingzhou army battalion moved one after another.

At this time, Lu Qiang ordered someone to call Liu Sinu over.

After waving to others to retreat, Lu Qiang asked directly, "Is there any people around Liu Yu who can use it?"

Liu Sinu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. The generals of the Beifu Army are all from Liu Yu's subordinates, and it is difficult to buy them. I have decided to change my strategy and start from other aspects. As you said, people have shortcomings. I believe it won't be long before I can be used by your majesty."

Lu Qiang couldn't help nodding to replace Qianqiu's ability. It was almost impossible for Liu Sinu to catch him by normal means, but Liu Sinu still did it. Isn't she just grasping the weakness of Dai Qianqiu's son?

"When Liu Yu completely leaves the Beifu Army, it won't be long before his shadow will fade from the army"

Liu Sinu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know how to do it."

So far, everything has been smooth and smooth, almost unbelievable.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yu gathered all the generals in the camp, and then told them that he had directly returned to the court and read out the emperor's appointment to him in public.

Hearing this result, the generals in the north were relieved and had a trace of worry. According to Liu Yu, they had been fighting with the emperor before. Isn't that a rebellion? Now they have returned to the imperial court, and Liu Yu has been assigned to Xuzhou. What should they do? Won't the emperor settle the accounts with them?

At present, some people shouted that they would follow Liu Yu to Xuzhou together. At the critical moment, Liu Muzhi calmed everyone. According to Lu Qiang's instructions, the court would not blame the previous events. The generals could rest assured that the emperor was a golden mouth, and what he said must count.

The generals have given up. What else can they insist on? In an instant, people's hearts completely dispersed.

Liu Yu had no time to take care of them. What made him angry was that Lu Qiang actually detained Liu Muzhi, which was his think tank!

After driving away the generals, Liu Yu couldn't help taking Liu Muzhi's hand and said, "Taohe, what should you do if you leave me? Why don't you come with me? If Lu Qiang disagrees, at worst, just fight to the death with him. I can't live without you!"

Liu Muzhi could feel Liu Yu's sincere feelings and said with red eyes, "If I leave with Ming Gong, Luqiang will definitely kill us. At that time, I'm afraid we will not be able to leave. Minggong must not delay his ambition because of me! Minggong can rest assured that Daohe has its own way to save his life, and he will definitely rush to assist Minggong as soon as possible."

Liu Yu was forced to the corner by Lu Qiang, and he was not very panicked, but without Liu Muzhi, he was like being knocked off his spine, and he had no idea for a while.

However, he also believes that Liu Muzhi is right. If Lu Qiang is taken away, Lu Qiang will definitely use this as an excuse to send troops to chase and kill him, and then everything will be done.

With Liu Yu's order to return to the court, the Beifu army of Guangyang and Shicheng put down their weapons and gathered at the designated place of the Jingzhou army outside the city.

And Liu Yu took Liu Daogui, Zhao Zigui, Zhou Anmu, Meng Huaiyu, and 10,000 selected people and horses, and boarded the warship prepared for them by Lu Qiang, went down the stream and went straight to Xuzhou.

In order to ensure that Liu Yu did not get off the boat halfway, Lu Qiang ordered Deng Xiang to lead 5,000 iron riders along the river and return to Xuzhou.

Then Lu Qiang ordered Wang Zhen to read it in the Beifu Army with his own will.

The intention reiterated that it would not be blamed for the past of following Liu Yuzhi, and announced that the soldiers who were willing to return to return to the field would be paid travel expenses and two months's money so that they could return home. In addition, it also promised them that the government would allocate land to them and exempt them from taxes for two years.

And those who are still willing to stay in the army must obey the adaptation. Those who do not comply with the decree will be punished as treason.

Once the will spread, the soldiers of the Beifu army suddenly gathered in groups to discuss it as if they had opened the pot.

The world is not good. Beating in the army is a way out to support your family, but in other words, how many people are willing to live a stable life and live with their heads all day long?

Now the court has liberalized its policy and given preferential treatment to those who have been soldiers, and it is said that there will be no war in China in the future. In this case, how many people are willing to join the army?

In just one day, someone first went to the officials sent by the Jingzhou army to inquire. After receiving a positive answer, someone came to sign up one after another.

Although the specific number has not been sent to Lu Qiang, it is initially estimated that half of the soldiers will put down their weapons and go home to farm.

This news is really great for Lu Qiang. Although it costs a lot of money to demobilization these soldiers, it is not worth mentioning compared with the military expenses to support them.

Many young soldiers are willing to continue to join the army, because they also know that the Jingzhou army is well treated. They are soldiers under the emperor, and even their families are favored.

Those young people who do not lack labor and want to develop in the army also go to designated places to sign up, then accept the adaptation and report to the new generals.

This is a huge project, which can't be completed in a day or two, and these trivial things don't need Lu Qiang to come forward in person, so three days later, Lu Qiang is ready to leave for Jiankang.

At this time, the old and young of the Sima family who stayed in Jiankang came up.

To be from the bottom of my heart, Lu Qiang is annoyed with these relatives. During the war, they hid under other people's wings with their tails between their legs and survived. Now that they are back in power, they jump out again and can't wait to get a piece of the pie. What is it?

But you can't ignore it! Who let him have Sima's blood on his body! However, with the lessons learned from Sima Xiuzhi, he will never reuse any Sima clan.

The order sent to these relatives led by Sima Zun to meet.

It's not long, and the relatives haven't come in yet. The curtain suddenly became chaotic, and then a bodyguard quickly came in to report that several royal families were beating a soldier guarding the gate at the gate.

Is there such a thing?

Lu Qiang's eyes stood up as soon as he heard it. Without saying a word, he got up with a tiger face and walked around the table and strode out.

At this time, many people had gathered at the door. In the noise of people, several young people in brocade kicked the soldiers lying on the ground while scolding something.

Bao, who was in charge of the patrol camp, stood aside with a pale face, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand. It could be seen that he was very angry, but looking at the teenagers who beat people, he was obviously a little afraid of rats.

"Your Majesty is here"

A shout made everyone calm down...
