Chapter 63

Liu Bei laughed loudly, waved his whip, and ordered Dian Wei: "Go, let go and kill. I, Liu Bei, have not killed me for many years, and everyone in the world thinks I have become a Bodhisattva. Let this fool know that I, Liu Bei, are not clay figures."

Dian Wei turned his head and left, Chen Deng followed behind and shouted repeatedly, Dian Wei ignored it, Chen Deng had no choice but to turn around and begged Liu Bei: "Duke Xuande, please summon General Dian back quickly. The situation in the army is unknown, and whether the rebellion exists has not been investigated. It is ominous to kill randomly at this time. We should join the camp and mobilize the generals before making plans."

Perhaps it was because of the indiscriminate killing that Liu Bei was angry and eager to kill people to establish his authority; perhaps it was because Xuzhou, which had been in operation for many years, that the turbulent situation exceeded Liu Bei's expectations, which made him lose his calmness and needed to vent his heart. However, Liu Bei was not from Xuzhou. After he killed people to establish his authority in no way, Chen Deng was left to clean up the mess. If Chen Deng wanted to stabilize the position of governor of the state, he must win over the hearts of the people and officials. Therefore, he must not bear the reputation of suspicion and indiscriminate killing with Liu Bei. Chen Deng must come forward to persuade him.

"Duke Xuande, who is obsessed with his strength, and who is benevolent with virtue, is the king. Today, Xuzhou is in turmoil. It is time to win the trust of the people with benevolence. As the saying goes, Jie and Zhou lose the world, lose the people; lose the people, lose their hearts. There is a way to gain the world: if you get the people, you will gain the world; if you get the people, you will gain the people; if you get the heart, you will gain the people; if you get the heart, you will gain the people: if you get the heart, you will gain the people; if you get the heart, you will gain the hearts: if you gather with them, don't do anything to what you hate. Duke Xuande, only the laws in the world can determine the crimes of others. Ordinary people have no right to decide the faults of others, and they cannot kill them indiscriminately without being judged. This is what Xuande has always advocated. People's hearts cannot be lost. Please order the killing to be stopped quickly."

Chen Deng knew that Liu Bei was good at reading "Mencius", and used the "people-oriented thought" of "Mencius" as the test questions for the Qingzhou scholars' assessment. The quotations just now were all about "Mencius", and the last sentence was emphasized by Liu Bei in Qingzhou. Chen Deng hoped to resonate with Liu Bei and persuade Dian Wei to stop him.

"Killing people in the wild can be a general, killing people in the city. You can be a public, leading beasts to eat human flesh, you can be a king, you can be a emperor, recite for thousands of years, worship for thousands of years. The world is so unfair, history is just a "bird history", an imperial family surname, and people like to raise swords and guns to their compatriots, so I will kill and stop killing, swing these dregs, abscesses, scum, and cancers, and give me a bright world."

At this moment, Dian Wei was already roaring and approaching the city. At the gate, the guards of the city gate shrank and could not make up for the purpose of interception.

Because the Qingzhou law is different from Xuzhou, Tao Qian agreed with Liu Bei that the Qingzhou people who committed crimes must be transferred to Lianyungang and the verdict will be made by the joint court of both parties. Therefore, Qingzhou people in Xuzhou are in Xuzhou and are not afraid of local governments at all. This leads to Qingzhou people often quarrels in Xuzhou, which makes local officials very troubled. In the end, as long as they do not violate the law, local governments are often unwilling to care about small quarrels involving them.

Now, the martial law order issued in the city has not passed through the city lord Chen Dengzhi's hand. The man in front of him is obviously a native of Qingzhou, looking fiercely looking for trouble. There are countless cavalry behind him covering the military flags and staring at the city gate fiercely. The city gate guards watched Dian Wei tremble so hard that he was covered in flesh. He approached the city gate, raised his axe and cut off the cables of the suspension bridge.

Liu Bei waved his hand and Chen Dengjun took charge of the flag. He spread the military flag and waved the military flag and rushed towards the suspension bridge first.

"The Lord of the State Council returned to the city, and the generals knelt down to welcome him." Chen Deng's subordinate shouted in unison.

The guards at the city gate were about to get angry, and this loud shout made them stop. Before hesitate, another loud shout came.

"The General of the Sanqi General was appointed as the Chief of the Shizhong Governor. The General of the Military Town of the Six Prefectures and the General of the East Kaifu Yi and the Third Office of the Three Divisions of the Qingzhou Mu Guangrao Hou Zhiyun Duke Liu Bei and Liu Xuande entered the city, and the idle people avoided it." Liu Bei's flag-holder roared loudly.

The guards at the city gate were trembling and fell to the ground. Dian Wei did not turn around and took big steps into the city gate.

"I'm going to die. I'm so proud of you calling out such a long name without stopping." Liu Bei angrily scolded the flag-holding official: "Is it useful to say so many names? You just said, 'Will there anyone in the world know me, Liu Bei?"

The flag-holder and Liu Bei galloped together and answered without any concession: "Sir, this kind of etiquette should not be abolished."

Chen Deng was interrupted just now, and at this moment, he was anxious and angry, and ran and said with a sarcasm: "Don't Xuande Gong rely on his official title to show off himself? Throughout the ages, there are countless miscellaneous officials, but Liu Xuande has only one person. In the future, you can only apply for the name of "Xuande".

Liu Bei couldn't hear the sarcasm, and even his flag-holder was confused. He stood up immediately with an admirational expression and roared: "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande enter the city, and the idle people avoid it." After saying that, he looked complacent and said: "Lord, it's really good. The sentence is short and the voice is loud. If you shout like this, you can make sure that the city can hear it clearly."

Liu Bei's horse hooves rumbled onto the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. Without waiting for Liu Bei's order, Li Jin immediately ordered: "The First Battalion of the First Brigade, dismount and take over the city; the Guard Brigade, follow General Dian, and the rest follow me."

Chen Deng was quite dissatisfied. With such a division of troops, Liu Bei was no longer in his arms. How could this man be his subordinate? The angry Chen Deng was about to scold Li Jin. When he turned his head, Liu Bei urged his horse to follow closely behind the guard brigade.

Chen Deng hesitated for a moment and immediately understood Li Jin's intention, urged his horse to rush into Liu Bei's side, and asked for verification: "Where has this military academy gone? Are you a military camp?"

Liu Bei nodded: "Clog the Xuzhou military camp gate. If there is any change, the other party can be disconnected."

Chen Deng replied: "If I don't have my military order, I'm afraid it will cause conflicts. If someone comes, I'll send my order arrows."

After arranging the trivial work, Chen Deng said dissatisfiedly: "Duke Xuande, your subordinate is too self-righteous. He took everyone away by his own initiative and left you without soldiers to escort..."

When he rushed into Yicheng Government, Liu Bei fell off his horse by slashing and explained: "Yuanlong, I am not you, so I don't blame him. He understood that I have been experiencing thousands of troops, as long as I follow the guards, it doesn't matter if I have no one to guard them. At that time, blocking the camp gate was the most important. Li Jin was good at seizing the opportunity of the fighter, making quick decisions, and doing very well. However, you are just a literati who leads troops, and you just can't adapt to this practice."

At the entrance of the government office, corpses were crooked and broken limbs were broken; at the front of the government office, Dian Wei roared, and screams came from time to time. Liu Bei grabbed Chen Deng and listened. Suddenly, the surrendered general Qiao Rui rolled out, covered in blood and looked frightened. When he saw the people standing at the door, his feet became weak and he tried to force himself to say, "Sir, why did he suddenly face us with swords and swords?"

Qiao Rui said, his eyes were still circling around, looking around. When he saw Liu Bei, he was shocked and his body slowly fell down: "Lord Xuande arrived in person. So, the general has been defeated?"

The latter general refers to Yuan Shu. Qiao Rui did not call Yuan Shu a name, which means he still had a slight fantasy of Yuan Shu. Before Chen Deng could express his opinion, Liu Bei, who had always advocated loyalty and righteousness, nodded and expressed his appreciation: "Qiao Rui still has the heart of the Lord, which means he still has loyalty and righteousness in his heart, but why did he surrender and rebel again?"

Qiao Rui was still in amazement and reluctantly defended: "What is the basis for the rebellion? We are just discussing the future political situation in Xuzhou. A rash man will kill him when he enters the door. Why is Xuande Gong guilty of his crime?"

Liu Bei smiled coldly, pointed at the corpse lying on the door with a knife in his hand, and asked sternly: "Gather to discuss? Why are all the guards at the door surrendered? Yuan Long was not in the city for a few days, and the surrendered soldiers have been trained? Where are the soldiers in Liangguo County?"

After Liu Bei reminded that Chen Deng had the time to look at the corpse lying on the ground. Sure enough, there was no soldier in Liangguo County. The soldiers of Liangguo County completely adopted the Qingzhou military system, and all the armors were Qingzhou plate-type iron armor. All the soldiers lying on the door were wearing leather armor. You can tell the difference between the two sides by just distinguishing them.

Qiao Rui's eyes were wandering and replied: "This is what General Cao did. We are just following orders."

Chen Deng then inserted his mouth and asked, "Where is Cao Bao?"

Qiao Rui replied: "I have died in the hands of the reckless man."

Liu Bei walked towards the government office with his hands behind his back, and Chen Deng hurriedly said to Qiao Rui, "Follow me."

Several attendants immediately rushed up and set up bridges and walked into the mansion.

Liu Bei came in just in time. At that time, the only surviving general in the hall was holding his chair legs and trying hard to block Dian Wei's slash. With Dian Wei's roar, the axe cut off the chair legs and broke his forehead. Suddenly, Dian Wei's panting sound was left in the entire lobby. He was waiting for the red eyes and searching for the remaining ones. When he saw Qiao Rui, he raised his axe and was about to exert force. Liu Bei cut down his sword in front of him, attracting his gaze.

"Lord, fortunately, I'm not disgraced." Dian Wei threw down his axe, hammered his chest with his right hand, and saluted.

Liu Bei picked up a chair that was still complete from the pool of blood, raised his hand and asked Chen Deng to sit down, and ordered: "Is the military judge here? Call him here."

After a moment, Chen and other servants called the military judge, and Liu Bei asked, "A native of Qingzhou?"

Judge Jun bowed with a surprised expression on his face, nodding his head while giving inquisitive gaze.

Liu Bei smiled faintly and said calmly: "Only the people of Qingzhou dare to look at Shangguan at the same time. I heard that Xuzhou used many retired soldiers in Qingzhou as military judges, especially in Liangguo County. It seems that this is true."

After a breath of relief, Liu Bei said again: "Do you know the rebellion in the city?"

Judge Jun replied: "I don't know."

Liu Bei pointed out the bloody massacre in the hall and said, "The main culprit is dead. Go and summon the judicial officer. I will try this case myself."

The judge bowed and bowed while saying, "It is the judge's duty to picket crimes and punish evil. Lord, leave it to us."

Liu Bei was furious and pressed his sword to ask: "What do you mean is that I have no right to interrogate?"

The judge of the military stubbornly replied: "That's right."

Liu Bei looked at the military judge angrily. The military judge faced tit-for-tat and looked at Liu Bei with a firm look. Dian Wei let out a low growl in his voice, picked up the bloody axe, and acted to chop the military judge.

Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Dian Wei, slowly inserted the knife into the sheath, and said angrily: "Well, this place belongs to Xuzhou, and I have no right to judge."

The military judge refused to give in: "Mr. Envoy, even in Qingzhou, you have no right to hear the case."

"What?" Liu Bei pulled out his waist knife and asked angrily: "I am Mu Shou of Qingzhou. Tell me, the entire Qing, Ji and Youzhou are under my governance. I have no right to personally try a case. What is the reason?"

After listening to Liu Bei's words respectfully, the military judge said firmly: "Sir, you are of course the supreme commander of the four states. You are responsible for the internal affairs and diplomatic strategies. However, it is absolutely necessary for the envoy to personally examine the case."

"Haha," Liu Bei laughed up to the sky, but there was no smile on his face: "I promulgated the laws of the four states by me. Do you not let me judge the case because you think I am born stupid, or you and your colleagues are not as familiar with the law?"

Judge Jun replied in a straightforward manner: "Thank you, God of Father, for giving us a wise envoy in Qingzhou, who gave you extremely profound knowledge and unparalleled mind. Although Envoy has formulated the law, he is not proficient in the practice of the law. The cases that judges want to deal with involve criminal cases, civil disputes, economic disputes, and human life, integrity, property, etc. It is impossible to handle only the legal knowledge in books. Law is an independent discipline that requires long-term study and practice to master. Without professional study and personal practice, no one can engage in the trial and judgment of cases. Envoy, don't you always emphasize that officials take their own responsibilities? Therefore, I think you have no power and are not suitable for personally hearing and hearing cases."

Liu Bei calmed down, walked around the military judge for a few steps, and asked: "Since that's the case, how would you make a judgment?"

The military judge pointed to the corpses everywhere and replied: "There is no evidence to die, and there is no investigation. The crime of rebellion is not valid."

Liu Bei put away his sword in a frustration and said helplessly: "You are right, just do what you said."

Walking to Qiao Rui's side, Liu Bei gave a meaningful reminder: "Yuan Shu is about to lose, and the road to turning back is no longer possible. After Yuanlong ascended the state patriarchal system, he must vigorously promote the Qingzhou law. If you rely on the Qingzhou law to survive, you have no way out. Please support Yuanlong well."

Without waiting for Qiao Rui to answer, Liu Bei walked to Cao Bao's body and said to Chen Deng without raising his head: "If you lose a Cao Bao, you will get a Qiao Rui, and you will get a much greater harvest than your loss. Yuanlong, that's it."

Qiao Rui knelt down on the ground, and expressed his sincerity to Chen Deng with a swearing swearing. Chen Deng reluctantly agreed to Liu Bei's statement: "This is all done."

The Yicheng Rebellion has since become a major historical mystery, and later generations have different opinions on this. However, even historians who agree with Liu Bei often admit privately that during the Yicheng Rebellion, Liu Bei had briefly lost his rationality. Fortunately, he stopped his horse in time.

The Han Dynasty advocated the strengths of officials. The Eastern Han Dynasty once called the "Strong Point". After the Party and Fines, the party members claimed to be Qingliu. The actions of the judges of the army made him famous. Since then, Qingliu's public opinion and struggle direction have completely changed. They fought desperately to defend the independence of the law and the uniqueness of the judge's ruling crimes. Later historians commented that the rule of law society began with the Xuzhou army judge Liu Chong contradicting Liu Bei.

At the same time, Cao Cao was not by his side and the emperor who had no control was considered for a long time. Finally, he accepted Huangfu Song's suggestion on his deathbed and prepared to go on a tour of Qingzhou, participate in the Qingzhou Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival and worship Mount Tai.

The locust that has been huge is about to enter Qingzhou...
