In order to continue to win Liu Jianye's heart, things must continue to be done.

I think back then, in order to keep the second master Guan, Cao Cao asked for one ingot of gold when he got on the horse and one ingot of silver when he dismounted. He was prepared to let the second master Guan go home with nothing to do, and he didn't even have to pay for the trip. In the end, Guan Erye came to his senses with only his underwear left. After finally pledging a robe to Cao Cao, he couldn't stand it anymore and ran away with his sister-in-law. Then you have to be brave to your enemies. Although you can't become a close friend, at least you have to be a fair-weather friend.

The next day, Lu Mou specifically asked Jin Yiwei to go out and hunt a deer and come back, which meant that if the deer were to be competed in the Central Plains, the deer would be killed by my hand.

As a result, Jin Yiwei felt very guilty and hunted back two yellow sheep for him because, in this era, there were no deer in the Central Plains.

"Okay, that's good. I'll call the deer a horse tonight."

In the evening, Xiao Lizi was sent to invite guests again. This time, Liu Jianye actually brought several of his subordinates over to eat and drink together.

This made Lu Mou very happy, and he graciously accommodated the guests and entertained them warmly. Cigarettes were flying all over the place.

Never talk about persuading surrender at the wine table, never induce the other party's military secrets, and appear calm and generous.

A group of generals gathered together to discuss plans for the upcoming war.

"Leaders, we will go to the den of thieves in Yongping Prefecture tomorrow. According to the local military work team of Jinyiwei, the White Lotus Sect rebels have gathered 5,000 people. But most of the people who listened to the so-called sermons of the rebels have They were rushing to collect eggs. There were only seven or eight hundred people who were actually rebels. This time, we made such a big movement and mobilized a large number of people to come. In fact, we suffered a loss."

When they heard the dignified prince calculating the financial accounts, these gangsters, as if they had met a close friend, slapped their thighs and shouted about their losses.

Is this the atmosphere where officials and bandits are like a family?

"Brothers, don't rush to slap your thighs. Let's first talk about how to deal with the seven or eight hundred loyal White Lotus followers."

Whether in terms of military strength or righteousness and orthodoxy, both families have an absolute advantage, so what else can they say?
Everyone shouted: "Send troops to encircle and suppress us. No mercy."

"Everyone, I'm talking about how to deal with those believers and the seven or eight hundred loyal White Lotus Sect members during our encirclement and suppression."

A bandit leader loudly said: "What are you talking about? There is no one left to cause trouble in our territory. The culprits will be killed."

Everyone applauded unanimously.

Only the Ming army looked at Lu Mou and did not dare to express their opinions.

Here, Lu Mou has the final say.

Lu Mou pressed his hands: "Brothers."

Note that Lu Mou's address to everyone here has changed from the original general leader to brothers. While it means that the officials and bandits are a family, it actually implies some other ulterior motives.

"Brothers, the White Lotus Sect is indeed a freak who rebels against whoever sees it. It is really a social cancer. Neither your Dashun nor our Ming Dynasty can tolerate it, right?"

"Yes, this cancer cannot be tolerated." Regardless of the officials and bandits, it was a scene of shouting and killing.

At this time, Liu Jianye frowned: "However, among these, those who are just selling eggs for a small price, we still persuade them to return, instead of directly killing them."

Lu Mou shook his head: "However, my opinion is that those who are just greedy for petty gains should also be killed."

Liu Jianye frowned: "You still can't escape the cruelty of the court and its cruelty to the people."

Lu Mou shook his head: "No. The current court is tolerant. You already know that my father pardoned all the sins of rebels, including those who dug up my ancestral graves. No matter what era they were in when they dug up my ancestral graves, At any time, even the most ordinary person cannot tolerate it, is this the truth?"

This is the greatest hatred of the Han people, greater than killing his parents.

But the current emperor has pardoned even those who dug his ancestral graves. What kind of tolerance is this?

"I forgive even those who dig my ancestors' graves, but I will never forgive the White Lotus Sect, and must kill them all. This is my bottom line, and for this reason, I do not hesitate to bear the reputation of being cruel and easy to kill. Then he said seriously: "This is why I personally led the troops and participated in this matter."

Liu Jianye frowned: "Why can't we forgive the innocent people who are just greedy for petty gains?"

"Do you admit that the White Lotus Sect has caused far-reaching disasters?"

"I admit this. This is why, even when we were besieged by you and our troops were stretched thin, we sent me to destroy them."

"Since you admit it, we can communicate easily." "Please tell me, Your Majesty."

"Anyone who is greedy for petty gains is greedy in nature. They all have ambitions. Although the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are righteous and peaceful on the surface, they are extremely inflammatory in their hearts. His teachings are the easiest Brainwash people.

Once you are contaminated with it, you will be able to follow it blindly.

Those who are greedy for petty gains will see that this method can quickly gather popularity and have followers around them, whether it is for the future, to gain greater profits from this group of believers, or to make themselves famous wherever they go. unlimited. Then, they will spread this idea.

We have released the five thousand believers here now. In the future, they will be five thousand seeds, and there will be five thousand places where the White Lotus Sect will prevail again. When the time comes, a spark will start a prairie fire, and both you, Dashun, and I, Daming, will be exhausted and miserable. Therefore, I believe that we should eradicate the root cause without leaving any future troubles. "

Liu Jianye was not persuaded by Lu Mou, and he still insisted on letting those ordinary believers go home. At this point, it is enough to prove that in troubled times, bandits are more kind and loving to the people than the officers and soldiers.

Faced with Liu Jianye's persistence, Lu Mou had no choice but to agree to let him go home after surrendering to ordinary believers and going through screening.

The White Lotus Sect is absolutely powerful in terms of belief, but in terms of organization, it is absolutely loose. This uprising is a real gathering of rabble-rousers.

Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the government and the army from both sides, more than 4,000 believers surrendered.

Only the leader of the White Lotus Sect gathered seven to eight hundred die-hard followers and occupied a town to resist.

Of course, this kind of resistance is simply vulnerable to the absolutely powerful Ming army.

With just one charge, the Ming army took the lead in breaking through the town gate and rushed in. The battle was over in less than half an hour.

The leader and the three most loyal incense owners set themselves on fire.

In fact, Lu Mou had no ulterior motives and there was no need to create such a big battle.

Lu Mou took the surrendered congregants to this town, then closed the town gate. Lu Mou took out the grain to make porridge and distributed it to the congregants. Tell them that after everyone has finished eating, the officers and soldiers will screen them again before letting them go home.

After the believers had eaten and drank happily, they all suddenly felt unbearable stomachaches. After a brief cry for help, the whole town turned into dead silence. Lu Mou calmly ordered: "Burn this town and we will return to the army."

Back on the road, the two armies suddenly became tense.

Once the alliance under a common goal ends, the two sides will still be enemies. According to convention, the Ming army would never allow themselves to return to Taiyuan to strengthen the city wall defense.

If he really kept his promise and let everyone go back to Taiyuan, wouldn't he become a fool?
What do you think? This fake king is not stupid, he is smart. In the eyes of that sincere smile, there is always a kind of fox's light flashing.

Faced with this situation, Lu Mou rode his horse and came to Liu Jianye: "If we fight side by side, we can be regarded as comrades. There is no need for this. I am a promise-keeper, and I keep my promises."

Liu Jianye sneered: "Are you a promise keeper? Why didn't I see it? Just now, you promised to let those believers go home, but you poisoned more than 4,000 people with just a little poison. There are many old people there. Weak women and children. Is this your promise?"

Lu Mou said confidently: "Why didn't I keep my promise? What I promised you at the beginning was that I would screen them and then let them go home. But didn't I screen them? The result of my screening was that those were all They are die-hard loyalists of the White Lotus Sect, so I will still keep my promise and kill them all. Look, how determined I am to implement my promise, you really have wronged me."

Liu Jianye was speechless by this sophistry.

I've seen people who talk shamelessly, but I've never seen people who are so shameless. Today, my eyes were opened.

"To prove that I keep my promise, I will not take the opportunity to attack and annihilate you. Because I feel that we still have feelings after getting along day and night."

Liu Jianye felt excited all over.

What do you mean? But it is said that you and that Li Yan are not getting along. For this reason, Mrs. Li Yan, a famous shrew in the world, chased you into the grassland.

"The friendship of fighting side by side, the love of comrades is the most rare thing. It belongs to one of the four iron friends who went to school together, carried guns, fought, and went whoring. For this reason, I will not make it difficult for you. I respect your Choose, so I won’t persuade you to surrender, and I won’t make it difficult for you to annihilate you. I will let you go back to Taiyuan as promised. When the day comes when we actually meet in arms, each will be his own master, and there is no need to show mercy."

Then he handed over to Liu Jianye in such a cool manner: "Goodbye, let's go back to our respective homes."

Then he left like a handsome soldier.

Looking at the backs of Lu Mou's team that was gradually disappearing, Liu Jianye couldn't help but sighed: "You are young, and you have the merit of rebirthing the Ming Dynasty. You are indeed extraordinary. In the future, you will definitely be the mortal enemy of Dashun."

Then he waved his hand to his brothers: "Brothers, let's go back to Taiyuan and continue to fight the Ming army to the death." (End of this chapter)
