Dongfang just showed a touch of fish belly white, and several fast horses galloped around Beizhou City, and immediately the knight shouted loudly: "Holy decree, the people in Beizhou City, as long as they do not follow the thief's harm, they will not ask!" Those who are coerced into following thieves, as long as they are corrected in time, they will not be blamed for the past! Those who can help officers and soldiers enter the city, regardless of the officials and people, will be rewarded with 2,000 yuan. If you want to be an official, send a lawsuit! ”

A few fast horses ran around Beizhou City a few times, and said loudly: "Shuai Ling, the day before yesterday, the people went out of the city, and there were lawless soldiers, killing good and risking merit." The people in the city, all the people of the court, how can they be slaughtered? Today, he commanded Ren Liang and the following thirty-two people to sue the spirits of the dead and appease the wrath of the people! ”

The sun showed half of their heads from the east, and the people in the city knew that the officers and soldiers outside the city were going to kill the generals who had killed the people out of the city the day before, and many people ran to the south city wall to see the situation outside the city.

I saw that outside the city wall, dozens of officers and soldiers pushed twenty or thirty people, and each of them planted a flag behind his back, indicating the reason for his surname. However, it was not true on the city wall, except for a warden who cut off the heads of those men after a short time.

The heads fell to the ground, and the city was cheering, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Ze drank with a few cronies until the early hours of the morning last night, and slept soundly at this time. A guard hurriedly ran in and said in a loud voice: "King, something is wrong! All the leaders gathered in the front hall and waited for the king to come to the palace to discuss the matter! ”

Wang Ze sat up suddenly, with the smell of alcohol, and scolded: "Straight lady thief, just fell asleep, who is screaming!" ”

The guards trembled with fright, stepped forward and whispered: "King, early this morning, the officers and soldiers outside the city sent people to ride fast horses and shout around the city. It is said that the day before yesterday, some officers and soldiers killed good people and risked meritorious deeds, violated military law, and were beheaded in front of the battle. And all the people of the city went up to the city to watch, and everyone applauded. ”

Wang Ze said: "What is this! Those officers and soldiers have no interest, and they deserve to be beheaded! ”

The guard said, "My lord, that's not what you say. The officers and soldiers won the hearts of the people, but they were afraid that the people in the city would be unstable, and several leaders were anxious, saying that they were afraid that the people in the city would listen to the bewitchment and flee from the city. They were gathered together in the front hall and waited for the king to come and take counsel. ”

The king was helpless, and while scolding, he put on his clothes, brought his guards, and went to the front hall.

Prime Minister Zhang Luan and Privy Envoy Bu Ji drank with Wang Ze last night, and at this time they were also in low spirits, full of alcohol, and displeased.

The leader of the city defenders reported the situation in the city, and the king said to Buji: "Privy, the defense of the city is a major matter of the military aircraft, what do you have in mind?" ”

Bu Ji was still half asleep and half awake, and said, "What's so difficult about this! The people in the city can be organized into troops for protection, one person goes out of the city, and the rest are all beheaded. In this way, the people looked at each other, and even if some people wanted to leave the city, they were watched and did not dare to think about it. ”

The king was overjoyed when he heard this: "The Privy Council is a great good! With this good plan, why worry? Scattered! ”

Beizhou City is a grass platform team, and most of their so-called directors of the upper dynasty have heard from Mr. Talk, and there are no rules. When the king said that he was scattered, all the princes dispersed, and according to the plan of Buji, they organized the people of the city.

Wang Ze has long been on the first floor of Beizhou City, sealing I don't know how many Zhizhou, and demarcating the territory. At that moment, Zhang Luan asked his subordinates to draw up an edict and send it to the prefectures, so that they could organize the people under them, and things were done neatly.

It's just that all the decent buildings in the city are occupied by the Maitreya cultists, but the household registration of the people in the city has been thrown aside, and it is difficult to say what the effect of the formation is. Anyway, there are not many literate people in the church, and no one cares about the way things are done.

Beizhou Linyongji Canal, this canal was originally dug by Emperor Yang of Sui for the expedition to Goguryeo, this river connects the Yellow River, Zhangshui, Haihe River, communicates the north and south, at this time it is still prosperous, and there are many people who do business in the place near the river. Wang occupied Beizhou, and these people lost their business when they landed, and suffered a lot of losses.

Among them, there are Wang Wenqing, Guo Bin, Zhao Zongben, and Wang Shun, who rely on Yongji Canal to do various businesses. Early this morning, they heard the decree of the officials outside the city, and they all rejoiced when they saw with their own eyes the general who had killed the people the day before. Discuss together, find a suitable time, and the four families will escape from the city together. As soon as he returned home from the city, he saw the congregation unveiling the list everywhere, saying that they were going to organize the people.

Seeing that it was not a problem, the four of them went to Guo Bin's wine shop together and got together to discuss.

Wang Wenqing said: "The demon thief is really a poisonous plan to make up the army for the people. One person fled, the rest were beheaded, and the people watched each other, which one could still go? Even if there is a chance to escape, thinking of the neighborly feelings, I dare not escape. ”

When the other three heard this, they all hung their heads and sighed incessantly.

Guo Bin instructed the little servant to serve the wine and food, warm the wine, and several people sat together and drank the stuffy wine, thinking hard about how to deal with it.

After drinking a few glasses, Zhao Zongben suddenly raised his head and said: "This plan, in fact, may not be a good thing for demon thieves!" ”

The other three looked at Zhao Zongben together and asked, "Why did my brother say that?" ”

Zhao Zongben said: "You think, originally one family fled, and the rest of the family said that they didn't know." Now it is organized as a guard, one person escapes, and the rest will be beheaded. Those who flee miss the love of their neighbors and dare not flee, and those who don't want to flee don't miss the old feelings, and will sue the people out? In my opinion, nine times out of ten, it's just that one doesn't do it, and the other doesn't stop, and several families run away together! ”

Guo Bin slapped the table: "Brother's words really woke up the dreamer!" That's exactly what happened! Just like a few of our brothers, they were organized into bodyguards, knowing that one family was going to escape, and who would go to the other families to sue first! It's just that everyone is running away from his grandmother! ”

A few people thought for a while, and this is exactly the truth.

Why did the people flee from the city? It is nothing more than the Maitreya sect that does not agree with Wang Ze. This kind of compilation is only a means, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem. If you really want the people to follow you, you must fundamentally win the hearts and minds of the people, otherwise all means will be empty.

Just like during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese also engaged in armor protection in the occupied areas, which caused difficulties in the Anti-Japanese War for a while. However, as long as the fundamental trend remains unchanged, as the anti-Japanese forces become stronger and stronger, and the forces of the Japanese and their lackeys become weaker and weaker, the consequence of defending the armor is to turn the sporadic resistance of the people into organized resistance. Originally, it was a system of mutual surveillance, but on the contrary, it organized the people at the bottom of China.

Means are only means, and they cannot reverse the strategic situation. What Wang Ze had to do after the uprising was to try as hard as possible to win the hearts and minds of the people in the city, and at the same time contact the surrounding military states to share the pressure for himself. The last thing that should be done is to impose high-pressure rule on the people in the city, causing panic among the people. People's fears will be slowly diluted by time, and once the right opportunity arises, the situation will be reversed.

Thinking of this truth, the four of them became excited again and discussed the way out in the future.

Wang Wendao: "I heard from the knights outside the city that if you can help the officers and soldiers enter the city, you can also be an official if you have a reward of 2,000 yuan." ”

Wang Shun said: "Who doesn't want money?" Who doesn't want to do it? But the demons and thieves in the city are extremely well guarded, how can they lead officers and soldiers into the city? ”

Several people thought for a while, and Guo Bin said: "This matter is difficult, but it is not difficult. I've seen it these days, and the thieves in the city aren't well guarded at night. If there is a large rope, you can let the people outside the city go up to the city. If you have a few more cables, you can attract hundreds of people in a short time. ”

Wang Wenqing slapped the table: "What Guo Yuanwai said is true!" What's so hard about this? It's nothing more than dozens of big ropes! ”
