The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 397: Yunchang, where should you be buried after your death?

On both sides of the official road, a large number of people were fleeing northward. In addition to the poor, a large number of gentry and wealthy families were also fleeing. In times of war, even if you have a fortune, you will be killed. The best way is to escape from the battlefield immediately and go to a peaceful and stable place.

“Are there any settlements along the way?”

Qin Shou asked with a frown.

Qin Shou himself had no way to deal with this situation. He could only avoid death as much as possible and make arrangements as much as possible to provide assistance to these fleeing people.

Looking at the numbness, anger and dissatisfaction in the eyes of these people, Qin Shou sighed deeply.

"Zhongda has already made arrangements, and Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are also mobilizing the noble families of Jingzhou to help." Xu Shu didn't dare to lead and quickly responded.

Qin Shou nodded. He understood what Xu Shu meant. The matter of pacifying the people was not implemented until Sima Yi came. Before that, people in Nanjun and other places also migrated and fled, but they were not properly resettled.

You know, the Cavalry Corps had already planned for such things and was very experienced. Now that they have arrived in Jingzhou and such a thing is happening, it is undoubtedly very inappropriate.

It only shows that Cai Mao and others did not make proper arrangements for them, which will definitely affect the people's hearts and morale.

"These aristocratic families in Jingzhou are really capable." At this time, Qin Shou saw a man in brocade clothes talking with a man in plain clothes in the fields, and he immediately felt dissatisfied.

If nothing unexpected happened, the other party must be buying land. These hateful guys took advantage of the war and spent a small amount of money to buy a large amount of land.

This kind of thing often happens during disasters and wars.

"My lord, isn't this the trust that the Jingzhou families have in the prime minister?" Pang Shanmin took over the conversation.

"So, I have to thank them?" Qin Shou sneered, "Pass the order down, freeze all land and house sales this year, and wait until after the war to confirm."

"Yes." Pang Shanmin did not dare to neglect and quickly agreed.

"Tell Xiangyang to comfort these disaster victims as soon as possible so that fewer people will die." Qin Shou sighed.

Although his troops entered Jingzhou, his control over Jingzhou was still very weak. In many aspects, he had to rely on these Jingzhou families.

"Yes." Pang Shanmin agreed immediately after hearing it, but how many people could be rescued depended on God's will.

Two days later, the army entered Dangyang, and Wen Pin and Kuai Qi welcomed them.

"Zhongye, is Guan Yu still clamoring outside the city?" Qin Shou asked.

"In reply to the Prime Minister, I am incompetent and unable to repel Guan Yu. Please punish me." Wen Pin's face changed and he quickly apologized.

"Zhongye is joking. I don't mean to blame you. There are very few people in the world who can resist Guan Yu. Apart from me, there are probably only a handful of them." Qin Shou said with a smile.

"My lord, I am willing to meet Guan Yu."

"I am willing to go too."

As soon as Qin Shou finished speaking, he heard two dissatisfied voices, from Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.

"Okay, the person next to him is the one who can rival Guan Yu." Qin Shou burst into laughter after hearing this.

"My lord, when we were in Chang'an, I wanted to kill Guan Yu's prestige." Huang Zhong seemed very dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, Han Sheng, you will have such an opportunity soon." Qin Shou comforted.

The next step was the confrontation between the two sides. As the main general, Huang Zhong had the opportunity to fight Guan Yu on the battlefield to decide the winner. However, in Qin Shou's opinion, the final result of the two sides should end in a draw.

Qin Shou looked at the Dangyang city wall. The wall was mottled, but there were few arrow holes and not much blood. It was obvious that Guan Yu did not launch many attacks on Dangyang. This was just as he imagined. Liu Bei did not want to occupy Jingzhou, at least not now. What he wanted to do most was to drag himself here.

Otherwise, given Guan Yu's character, the other side would have launched a frenzied attack on the small town of Dangyang long ago. This is a guy who will not give up on anyone when he has the upper hand, so how could he give up such an opportunity?
"The military camp is in good order and full of murderous intent! Guan Yu is still so aggressive." Qin Shou looked at the military camp in the distance and sighed slightly.

"No matter how powerful you are, you are no match for our lord." Dian Wei said disdainfully.

Everyone also nodded.

Guan Yu, who was far away, also received the news that Qin Shou's central army flag had appeared in Dangyang City. He knew that Qin Shou had arrived, and immediately led his son and generals to the foot of Dangyang City.

"Yun Chang, long time no see."

Qin Shou looked at the Martial Saint in front of him. He had long fluttering beard, was dressed in a green robe, held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, and rode a blood-red Red Hare. He looked majestic and had an excellent appearance.

"Prime Minister, Guan is honored."

Guan Yu had a complicated expression and bowed to Qin Shou.

He has traveled all over the world and has always looked down on others, but when facing Qin Shou, he is still very grateful in his heart. In terms of martial arts, Qin Shou is far superior to the other party, and Qin Shou treats the other party well.

It is just like what Cao Cao did to Guan Yu in history. Guan Yu knew that letting Cao Cao go would be equivalent to leaving a powerful enemy for Liu Bei, but he still let him go just to repay his kindness.

Qin Shou rewarded him with numerous gifts and even returned his wife to Guan Yu, who was deeply grateful for his kindness. Liu Bei and others called Qin Shou "Qin Thief", but Guan Yu always called him "Prime Minister". This is the difference.

"Yunchang, do you want the people of Jingzhou to suffer?" Qin Shou came down from the city wall and rode his war horse to see Guan Yu.

"Prime Minister, this is not what I want, but my brother is determined to revive the Han Dynasty, so I will obey your orders." Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

Qin Shou nodded. He knew that no matter how he tried to persuade Guan Yu, he could not change his mind. The words loyalty and righteousness had long been deeply rooted in Guan Yu's heart and bones, and could not be changed.

"Where does Yunchang want to hide after his death?" Qin Shou asked.

Guan Yufeng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said: "If there really comes a day, please send me back to my hometown, but my head must be facing the direction where my brother is."

"Okay." Qin Shou agreed.

"The Prime Minister was defeated and killed. Where should he be buried?" Guan Yu asked.

Qin Shou burst into laughter, pointed his whip at Guan Yu, and said, "Yun Chang, I'm afraid you can't see it."

If he was defeated and died, he would have no time to think about this problem.

"Yun Chang, try to survive to the end. When I capture Liu Bei alive, I will definitely spare his life. I believe that at that time, Yun Chang will definitely work for me."

Qin Shou turned around and left without hesitation.

It was impossible for Guan Yu to surrender to me, and it was impossible for Liu Bei to surrender, and the same was true for Cao Cao.

The struggle in the world is a fight for life, and it is impossible for the three overlords of the world to surrender.

"Farewell, Prime Minister."

Guan Yu looked grim.
