Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

A group of people advocated that the crime should be punished, that no one should be kept, and all should be killed, and it would be a waste of food to keep them.

A group of people advocated catching the big ones and putting them down, that the culprits should be targeted for punishment, and these Bailian sect bandits should be given a chance to reform themselves.

Faced with the polarized attitudes of the people below, Guo Ye slowly fell silent, thinking about how to deal with the tens of thousands of prisoners of the White Lotus Sect.

For a moment, neither killing nor not killing, Guo Ye was entangled...

Suddenly, Xue Rengui, who had been silent all this time, interrupted abruptly and said, "What's so difficult about this? Wouldn't it be better to make a compromise?"

"Oh?"

Guo Ye raised his eyes and stared at Xue Rengui, and asked, "How about a compromise, you should come and listen to it."

Xue Rengui said: "If you want to say that all these ten thousand captives should be killed and killed, it is not true. Just like what General Pang Feihu said, the White Lotus Sect is the culprit. They only rebelled after being bewitched or coerced. But Saying that they are all innocent, I am afraid it is difficult to come up with a convincing reason? In Lingnan Road and Guangnan Road, nearly a dozen state capitals were massacred. Even if some of these people were forced to die Those who pick up the butcher's knife must also be a lot of executioners who help the evildoers and their hands are covered with blood. I say that, do you agree?"

What he said was quite to the point, and those who insisted on their own opinions on both sides couldn't help but nodded frequently to express their agreement.

Guo Ye also vaguely guessed the compromise method contained in Xue Rengui's words, but he was not sure, and immediately asked: "Rengui, tell me how to deal with these 1 captives? The way to deal with it will neither kill innocent people in vain, nor leave our food wasted by executioners who help the evildoers."

Xue Rengui nodded his head in greeting, and with a hum, he slowly expressed his thoughts...

……

……

Ten miles away, the Bailian bandit barracks.

With the arrival of more than [-] bandit troops from ten prefectures on Lingnan Road led by Bailian leader Hu Bilie, the entire camp once again fell into chaos and congestion.

Hu Bilie made a decisive decision and asked the remaining six King Kongs under his command to lead various people to open up places nearby and rebuild a new camp to settle down.

And he himself went to Duguyu's camp together with Yu Jingde, the old patriarch of the Yu family in Wuzhou.

Of course, the three brothers of the Yu family closely followed the old father, reporting to Yu Jingde what happened in recent days.On the way to Duguyu's camp, Yu Jingde kept a gloomy face from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.

As soon as he entered Duguyu's tent, Hu Bilie greeted Duguyu with his hand cupped, then found a seat by himself, and sat down.

Duguyu thought about Yu Jingde's seniority in the Guanlong family, and greeted him with the gift of a junior.

Yu Zhong, the youngest of the three brothers in the Yu family, immediately complained to his father Yu Jingde in front of Duguyu: "Father, it is good that you come. Duguyu is self-reliant..."

"Snapped!"

Before Yu Zhong finished his small report, he slapped his father, Yu Jingde, abruptly.

Yu Zhong immediately covered his face in pain, and looked at his father with surprised eyes.

"Father!"

The two brothers Yu Yuan and Yu Zheng cried out in surprise.

"Humph!"

Yu Jingde snorted heavily under his dark hooked nose, glanced violently at the three brothers of the Yu family, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "When is this? Keep your eyes on Li Tang's court, your eyes on That kid Li Shimin has already started to uproot the influence of our Guanlong family, and you are still fighting each other openly and secretly, intrigue and incompatible with each other? Don't you forget that the Guanlong family should watch over and help each other, unite with each other, and be as close as brothers? Have you learned from your ancestors?"

Obviously, Yu Jingde didn't listen to the nonsense of the three brothers of the Yu family, but he already knew the whole story before arriving here.

After reprimanding the third son in front of Hu Bilie, Yu Jingde did not stop there, but turned his head slowly and landed on Duguyu.

I saw that Yu Jingde still had a gloomy face, and said coldly: "I can believe that Zhao Youxin's death is his own fault. Similarly, this old man will bring this sentence back to Zhao Mingfang of the Zhao family in Guangyuan. But similar The matter, the old man hopes that it will stop here and never happen again in the future. All things, all grievances, and all small thoughts must be put aside. Now the situation is critical, and it has reached the critical point of our Guanlong family's life and death. Destroying Qianzhou City and taking back the gold bricks is the most important thing. Nothing is more important than this. After the day is completed, the Yu family in Wuzhou and the Dugu family in Liuzhou will share the southern states. Dugu Nephew, you are a smart person, you should understand what this old man says, right?"

Yu Jingde blatantly kicked the Guangyuan Zhao family away from the loot-sharing team, and blatantly made an agreement with Duguyu, the real head of the Liuzhou Dugu family, to share the post-war benefits together in the future.

Although Duguyu was not at peace in her heart, she still had a calm expression on her face. She bowed politely and replied lightly: "Everything is under the arrangement of the family uncle."

Obviously, Duguyu responded to Yu Jingde's olive branch and reached an agreement with the other party to kick the Zhao family out of the spoils team.

"hey-hey……"

Suddenly, Hu Bilie, the leader of Bailian, who had been watching the play without saying a word, laughed dryly, interjected with a playful expression, and said, "Old Patriarch Yu, Mr. Dugu, you are doing such a dirty trick in front of me." I'm afraid it's inappropriate to talk about it? Have you forgotten the agreement you made when you lobbied our White Lotus Sect to raise trouble in the south?"

"Bah, what are you?"

"You, Hu Bilie, are just a puppet that we set up. Do you really treat yourself like a green onion?"

"That's right, your White Lotus Sect is just a running dog cultivated by our Guanlong family. How can you, Hu Bilie, question my father's decision?"

The three brothers of the Yu family, who didn't remember to eat but not to fight, got mad at Hu Bilie together in front of his father Yu Jingde.

"Hey……"

Hu Bilie was not irritated, but let out an incomprehensible dry laugh.

Chapter 1074 Marionette out of control

"There's no place for you to talk here."

Yu Jingde frowned, raised his arms and waved at the three brothers, shouting: "Get out!"

The three brothers have been particularly afraid of respecting virtue since they were young, so they had to leave the camp angrily.

As soon as the three brothers of the Yu family left, Yu Jingde asked displeasedly, "Master Hu, what do you mean by that?"

As we all know, the White Lotus Sect is composed of three schools: Taipingdao, Bailianshe, and Manichaeism. The teachings of the White Lotus Sect refer to both Buddhism and Taoism, and then they are combined to confuse the people.And it is not Hu Bilie, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, nor the Four Guardians and Eight King Kongs under him who are really manipulating the White Lotus Sect behind the scenes, but the two elders who have been following Hu Bilie.

Because these two elders were assigned by the Guanlong family to be by Hu Bilie's side, called protection, but actually monitoring.

It is precisely because Hu Bilie is just a puppet on the stage that the three brothers of the Yu family dare to yell at him and even insult him repeatedly.

In the eyes of Yu Jingde and Duguyu, the White Lotus Sect is a tool to help them commit treason and evil deeds; while Hu Bilie, they have personally promoted from a heretic of the Taiping Dao to having millions of followers in the south, The supreme leader of the White Lotus Sect.

No matter how high you are, no matter how many followers you have, you can't change the fact that Hu Bilie is just a lackey raised by their Guanlong family.

A lackey who comes and goes when he is called, and can be ordered at will.

But today this lackey is different.

Because, this lackey who was kept in the house dared to challenge them as the master blatantly.

How can this not make Yu Jingde secretly shocked?

How can this not make Duguyu secretly unbelievable?

After Yu Jingde finished asking, Duguyu noticed that Hu Bilie was only smiling dryly, with a confident look on his face, as if the other party turned against the customer today and dominated the two of them in terms of momentum.

"hey-hey……"

Hu Bilie smiled dryly for a long time, looked at the two with strange expressions, finally set his eyes on Yu Jingde, and asked mysteriously: "Old Patriarch Yu, you and I have been walking together this way, didn't you realize that I'm not here?" Does the leader seem to be missing something?"
