The Three Kingdoms have signed for 30 years, and I am in charge of the universe

Chapter 69 Lingling County Belongs to the Han Court

The sudden roar was like thunder on the ground, and it made people's ears buzz, and everyone shut their mouths in fright, and knelt on the ground trembling.

Xue Rengui stood holding a sword, standing in the lobby, under his feet, was a headless corpse, in the headless cavity, blood was still gurgling, gurgling.

Not far from the corpse, a human head was rolling on the ground. Looking at its face, if it wasn't Liu Du's eldest son, Liu Yan, who else could it be?
Liu Yan's head kept rolling on the ground until it reached the side of Liu Du who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and then stopped.

Liu Yan's face was facing Liu Du, with those big eyes staring at Liu Du, as if he was blaming him for not protecting himself.

"Ah! my son!"

Suddenly, Liu Du, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, yelled, waved his hands indiscriminately, grabbed Liu Yan's head a few times, and then hugged Liu Yan's head in his arms, crying and roaring continuously.

"Is he Liu Du?"

Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui put the sword on the shoulder of the person kneeling at his feet, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back... back to the general... that is indeed my master..."

Xue Rengui's sword rested on his shoulder, and the man trembled from fright, and replied tremblingly.

"Liu Yan disobeyed the imperial edict. He openly resisted with his sword and was executed. If anyone dares to resist the edict, don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword!"

Xue Rengui scanned the audience and said in a deep voice.

"No...don't dare..."

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, everyone responded tremblingly.

"Come here, please let Taishou Liu's family members go to the back house, so that they can take care of them. Three meals a day are indispensable. After the general asks His Majesty for instructions, I will deal with it!"

Xue Rengui ordered to the guards behind him.

"Follow the order!"

Hearing Xue Rengui's order, the guards responded, rushed into the hall, picked up Liu Du's family members who were kneeling on the ground, shivering into a ball, dragged them out of the hall, and headed for the back house.

"Prefect Liu, please!"

Xue Rengui came to Liu Du with a sword, looked at Liu Du who was holding Liu Yan's head and crying, and said in a deep voice.

"Why did you kill my son, why did you kill him!"

Seeing Xue Rengui coming to him, Liu Du hugged Liu Yan's head and roared.

"This general acts according to the imperial decree of the emperor. Anyone who resists and fails to obey the decree will be punished with death!"

Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.

"Come here, collect Liu Yan's body, bury it generously, and send the prefect Liu back to the back house!"

Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.

Xue Rengui didn't give Liu Du a chance to continue entanglement, and with a big wave of his hand, he slashed Liu Du's neck with a knife, knocking out Liu Du who looked like a madman.

"Follow the order!"

Hearing Xue Rengui's order, the guards rushed forward, someone snatched Liu Yan's head from Liu Du's arms, someone lifted Liu Du, and sent it to the back house.

"Keep the prefect's mansion well, no one is allowed to break in, no one is allowed to hurt Liu Du and his family."

Xue Rengui said to the commander of the personal guard.

Outside the prefect's mansion, Xue Rengui left his [-] personal guards to guard the prefect's mansion, taking care of Liu Du and his family.

"Follow the order!"

The commander of the personal guard responded.

"Everyone follows this general, patrols the whole city, and puts down the turbulent mobs in the city!"

Xue Rengui got on his horse and said in a deep voice.

Xue Rengui led [-] Han troops to patrol the city. Whenever he saw a rebel army bullying the people, he would kill them on the spot regardless of the reason.

This move severely won the hearts and minds of the people in Quanling County.In my heart, a seed was planted.

It wasn't until the sky turned pale that the Han army completely occupied the city gate, suppressed the rebellious soldiers of Quanling County, and also killed a group of aristocratic families who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the city gate and escape.

Xue Rengui led [-] Han troops and patrolled the city round after round. Whenever they encountered rebellious troops, they suppressed them all, which greatly reduced the losses of the people in the city.

It was not until noon that Quanling County was completely silent, and the Han army completely occupied Quanling County.

At this moment, it also means that the Han army captured Lingling County, successfully recovered Lingling County, and brought Lingling County under the rule of the Han Dynasty. After Nanjun, Jingzhou lost another county.

"Jin Yiwei, can you find out which aristocratic families participated in the defense of the city, and which aristocratic families participated in the robbing of the city gate?"

In the front yard of the prefect's mansion, Xue Rengui sat in the lobby and asked in a deep voice.

In order to facilitate things, Liu Hong has long arranged a team of brocade guards in each army, and these brocade guards are all carefully selected people.

That is to say, it can assist the leading general in commanding the army, scouting intelligence, and if necessary, assisting the general in governing the local area, serving as a local official temporarily, and handling government affairs.

"Return to the general, we have already checked, and the list is all here!"

The commander of Jin Yiwei who accompanied the army took out a piece of paper and replied.

"Well, I will allocate you a thousand soldiers to capture all these aristocratic families, register their wealth, and hand it over to Your Majesty."

Xue Rengui glanced at the list in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"

The leader of Jinyiwei responded.

"Quickly choose Jinyiwei and go to the counties to supervise government affairs.

Send someone to take the prefect order and imperial decree to the five princes to surrender. If anyone resists the decree and does not obey it, report it to me immediately! "

After pondering for a moment, Xue Rengui continued.

"Follow the order!"

The leader of Jinyiwei responded.

"I am writing a good report to His Majesty and sending it to Nanjun!"

Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!"

The leader of Jinyiwei responded.

Xue Rengui successfully obtained the battle report from Lingling County, and it was delivered to Liu Hong three days later. Seeing the battle report, Liu Hong immediately summoned Guo Jia to discuss matters in the Zhongjun Baozhang.

"Bong Xiao, Rengui has successfully captured the entire territory of Lingling County, captured Lingling prefect Liu Du alive, beheaded Lingling general Xing Daorong, Liu Du's eldest son Liu Yan resisted with a sword, and was also beheaded by Rengui on the spot."

Liu Hong held the battle report in his hand and said to Guo Jia.

"Benevolence is noble and brave, not like a dragon!"

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Guo Jia laughed.

"Hahaha, indeed, the courage of benevolence is rare in the world!"

Liu Hong laughed loudly.

"Now, His Majesty still needs to send someone to be the prefect of Lingling as soon as possible, and bring Rengui back to his side to listen to him. It is a waste of money to put Rengui in Lingling so suddenly!"

Guo Jia laughed.

"It is true that Rengui should be transferred back. Regarding the post of Lingling prefect, can anyone recommend Fengxiao?"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Hong pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.

"In the land of Lingling, one general can be dispatched, and the government affairs will be handed over to Jin Yiwei for the time being. After our army recovers Jingzhou, the handover will take place."

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"Well, pass the decree back to Chengdu and ask Wen He to select some of the Liangshan generals under him who are worthy of serving as the sheriffs of a county, and come to Jingzhou to listen to them."

Liu Hong thought for a while and said.

"According to the order!"

Hearing Liu Hong's order, Guo Jia laughed.

"Rengui successfully captured Lingling. I think there should be news about the other four counties."

Looking at the sky outside the tent, Liu Hong murmured.

"I think it's coming soon. On the Yangtze River, there should be a result. The courage of Xingba is not comparable to Cai Mao."

Guo Jia agreed.
