Rebirth of the Qinglian Road in the Great Desolation

Chapter 43: Hou Hu Designs to Capture Jiu Gong Jizhou Dazhi

It is said that Chonghou Hu heard the words of his brother Chongheihu and wanted to defect to Jizhou Hou Suhu. In order not to be looked down upon by his subordinates, he must first achieve a meritorious service. How to achieve this meritorious service, the two brothers discussed it and knew that this time

After they were defeated, Chaoge would definitely send people to conquer Jizhou again and capture the commander by then. Such a feat would not be insignificant.

The two brothers agreed that even if King Zhou did not want him to come to help, he would still go to King Zhou and say that he would do meritorious service in response to the crime.

In this way, the two brothers came to an agreement, and this time Deng Jiugong was defeated. Although the external defense was very strict, internally, Deng Jiugong did not expect anyone to rebel, so the defense was relatively loose. In addition, Chonghou Hu also

Bei Bohou, the soldiers were not prepared for him.

In this way, Chonghou Hu succeeded and captured Deng Jiugong. He took Deng Jiugong and his subordinates and defected to Su Hu at starry night.

Let us say that Su Hu was overjoyed when he learned that Chonghou Hu had come to surrender, and that Deng Jiugong was also involved. After thinking for a moment, he immediately met the two of them.

When Su Hu saw the two of them, he quickly stepped forward to help Deng Jiugong untie him. He also ordered his servants to prepare a banquet and led the two of them to eat.

During the banquet, Su Hu saw that although Deng Jiugong did not resist, he remained silent. He knew that he was dissatisfied and did not know where to start for a while. At this time, he came to report that Prime Minister Kasyapa asked for an audience and had a way to subdue Deng Jiugong. Su Hu

When the protector heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned Kasyapa to see him.

Not long after, Kasyapa came to the banquet and found out that the middle-aged man with a rebellious face was Deng Jiugong. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Marshal Deng is not convinced."

Deng Jiugong did not make a sound, but snorted softly.

Seeing this, Kasyapa smiled slightly, shook his head slightly and said, "Marshal Deng is a loyal and righteous man, how come he doesn't understand the general situation?"

Deng Jiugong couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this, but because he was imprisoned, he didn't speak to refute, but remained silent.

Kasyapa rolled his eyes and saw what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "Why, Marshal Deng is still dissatisfied?"

Deng Jiugong still said nothing.

Kasyapa said solemnly: "You are not unconvinced, just listen to me and see if it is what I say. If it is wrong, you can refute it without any worries!"

Deng Jiugong could only say: "Please speak."

Kasyapa solemnly said: "You should know that King Zhou is stupid. First he blasphemed the gods in his parents' palace, then he repeatedly killed loyal ministers, built deer platforms, and killed and injured hundreds of people. He also built wine ponds and meat forests. He only cared about enjoying himself every day and ignored political affairs. Now, now

The people are resentful, and the world is disloyal. You came to attack Jizhou on the order of King Zhou, don't you know that you hate the world? What's more, Su Hou is a virtuous king. Now the dragon sings about Jizhou, and the destiny of Jizhou is to be prosperous. But you don't know that it is already.

Having done something against heaven, have you ever thought about how many of the people who came to attack Jizhou could survive? Besides, you are a mortal, how can you defeat me, the stranger from Jizhou?"

The words made Deng Jiugong so cold that he broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly said to Kasyapa: "What should I do in this case? I beg the immortal to tell me a solution. Jiugong is very grateful."

Kasyapa comforted him and said, "You don't have to be impatient. I'm going to tell you something. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

Deng Jiugong said hurriedly: "I would like to ask the immortal to speak."

Kassapa said: "You only need to surrender to Jizhou and from now on help Suhou conquer the merchants. Not only will you not be reviled by the people, but you will also be able to grant the title of feudal lord in the future. Isn't that wonderful!"

Hearing this, Deng Jiugong hesitated and said: "Although this method is feasible, the only problem is that all my family members are in Chaoge City. If I surrender to Xiqi and the news reaches Chaoge, King Zhou will be furious and order all my family members to be beheaded.

What can I do?"

Hearing this, Kasyapa smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter! All you have to do is surrender to Jizhou, and I will send someone to Chaoge to bring your family members to Jizhou. By then, you will have no worries.

I can now safely assist Su Hou to achieve his great cause."

After hearing this, Deng Jiu Gong bowed gratefully: "Deng Jiu Gong thanked the Immortal for his guidance." Then he bowed to Su Hu and said, "Common general Jiu Gong pays homage to Su Hou."

Su Hu couldn't help but laughed and said: "Haha, Jiu Gong doesn't need to be polite, we will be a family from now on." After saying this, he patted Chonghou Hu on the side.

When Kasyapa saw this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and quietly retreated.

Moreover, Kasyapa ordered people to save Deng Jiugong's family, and Jizhou got Deng Jiugong to vote for him. Ji Chang was so frightened that he turned around and ran away with the remaining troops.

Before Chao Ge's stranger arrived, the army retreated first, which made King Zhou furious again. He was about to send people to conquer again, but no one dared to go at this moment. Someone recommended Wen Zhongwen, Grand Master, to go to conquer. King Zhou

He also had this intention. Firstly, he sent Grand Master Wen to pacify Jizhou, and secondly, he also hoped that Wen Zhong would leave Chaoge so that he could continue to enjoy it.

However, Wen Zhong heard the words of his teacher, the Holy Mother Guiling, and was not allowed to go out to sing. Just then, he heard King Zhou's decree. Although he wanted to conquer Jizhou, he was unable to do so, so he had to stay home sick.

Let's say that Chaoge here was unable to attack Jizhou for a while, until Jizhou got a breather, so Su Hu listened to Kasyapa's words and recruited talents in Jizhou.

At that time, Su Hu's reputation as a talented person spread all over the world, and countless people came to Jizhou to apply for the army. Although most of them were incompetent people, there were also some talented people who had not been reused in their own country, such as Tai Dian, Hong Yao,

Wu Xiong, Xin Jia, Xin Mian and others were all talented people, but they were impressed by Su Hu and threw themselves into Jizhou's tent.

Su Hu asked everyone about the strategy of governing the country, and Xin Jia gave some advice: "Governing a country is just about governing the people. As the saying goes, "The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country." As long as the people under the rule have no worries about food and clothing, the country will naturally be peaceful. So.

According to my opinion, as long as you protect the people, it will be easier to govern the country."

Su Hu heard this and asked, "How can we protect the common people?"

Xin Jia replied: "I have been poor since I was a child. When I was young, all I wanted was to have enough food every day and a new piece of clothes to wear every few years. That's all. So I use myself to save others. I think this is what I want."

All people in the world should be the same, right?"

"What does the Qing family mean?"

"What Weichen means is to lower taxes so that the common people can recuperate and live a healthy life. When the common people can have enough to eat, no one will commit crimes and there will be peace under the rule of the superiors."

"Then according to the Qing family, how much should this tax be?"

"Weichen believes that the policy of "nine-to-one assistance" should be adopted, that is, dividing the land and allowing people with no land or little land to help cultivate public land and pay one-ninth of the tax."

"Isn't this too little?" Su Hu thought that he would have to recruit an army and collect such a small amount of tax revenue, which might not be enough for him. Therefore, although he knew what Xin Jia said was reasonable, he still hesitated.

"Wei Chen feels that it is already quite a lot. Even if he pays one-ninth of the tax, it is enough to pay for the palace and officials of the Lord. In addition, it can also demonstrate the benevolence of the Lord among all the people in the world."

Su Hu heard this and knew that he was going to revolt in Jizhou. The first thing he needed to do was to win the hearts and minds of the people and collect the September 1st tax. Although it slowed down the expansion of his army, this loss was nothing compared to winning the hearts and minds of the people.

What. Moreover, the wealth accumulated by his family over several generations should be enough to support the expansion of the army.

Thinking of this, Su Hu said: "What the Qing family said is absolutely true, let's leave this matter to the Qing family." After saying that, he turned around and left the hall.

When Xin Jia and others heard that Su Hu had really agreed to this matter, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Knowing that they and others had met Master Ming, they immediately discussed with each other how to deal with what they had just discussed.
