    Chapter 2716: Ban Gu sacrificed his life to make a death refusal, and the ban on the Qiang people were mad


    Seeing that Yang Guang was so decisive, Cheng Gongying, Ban Gu and others were anxious.


    Ban Gu advised, "My lord, it must not be done. Although the situation is now in crisis, our army is united.


    As long as I am united in the Sui Dynasty, I will definitely be able to defeat the Qin Dynasty. ”


    Ban Gu''s words were not wrong. Although the Qin army was powerful, the Sui Dynasty was still extremely united. The reason was that the people of Liangzhou had been too hard in the past.


    Liangzhou first had a century-long battle between Han and Qiang, and then the princes of Liangzhou fought in a melee. It was not until Yang Guang unified Liangzhou and implemented land reform that the lives of the people of Liangzhou began to get better.


    In addition to land reform, Yang Guang also vigorously managed floods, dug canals, and restored agricultural production in Liangzhou.


    He was also the first king to propose imperial examinations, breaking the monopoly of the powerful families over the career of the officialdom and giving the common people a promotion.


    For the people of Liangzhou, everything they have now is brought to them by Yang Guang, so the people at the bottom naturally support and love him.


    Far from Cao Cao, who has mixed reputations and criticisms, Yang Guang’s reputation is not only in Liangzhou, but also in the whole world. The Sui Dynasty also sincerely supported him.


    This is also the main reason why the Qin army still united even after the four groups of Qin attacked and formed a trapped dragon situation.


    The infamous Emperor Yang of Sui in history, but in this era, the Sui King Yang Guang was a wise ruler who was highly supported and loved by the people. It is hard to believe that this would be the same person.


    As soon as Ban Gu finished speaking, Cheng Gongying couldn''t wait to persuade: "Lord, the biggest advantage of our Sui Dynasty is not that there are many soldiers and generals, the vast territory, nor that the people are strong, but that they are united internally and united.


    If the Qiang Order is released, our country will inevitably be in turmoil. At that time, people''s hearts will be fluctuating and the soldiers will not be in a fight, and there will be no need for the Qin army to invade. Our army may collapse without fighting. Please be cautious. ”


    After saying that, Cheng Gongying knelt down.


    "Please be careful."


    Ban Gu and Li Delin also knelt down, hoping that Yang Guang could take back his life, but this move angered Yang Guang.


    “Prevent.”


    Yang Guang was like an angry lion and glared at the three of them and said, "The Qiang people have already been broken. I lifted the ban. The Qiang people must be grateful. How dare they rebel against me? What you just said is really exaggerated."


    Today, Yang Guang has 100 politics and 95 intelligence. How can he not know the risks after Qiang Ling?


    But it is precisely because we know that Jie Qiang Ling cut off his arms and killed 800 enemies and lost 1,000 enemies. Even after losing 1,000, he might not be able to kill 800 enemies. This is what Yang Guang is most unacceptable.


    Because of Li Jing''s trapping dragons, Sui State had no other trump card that could be used except for this evil move of drinking poison to quench thirst.


    Death is not terrible, and it is the most tormenting thing to wait for death slowly.


    Yang Guang is another person who can''t afford to lose, so he will naturally not be able to wait for death. So even though he is clear-headed, he still chooses to comfort himself, only think about the better side, and deliberately ignore the risks.


    "Lord, the Qiang tribe is a barbarian, barbarian, and beast. If you fear power but do not have virtue, how could you be grateful for the lifting of the ban?"


    Ban Gu raised his head and said seriously: "Lord, the general trend of the world will be together for a long time, and if you are united for a long time, you will be separated for a long time.


    The dispute between Qin and Sui Dynasty was an internal struggle among the Han people. Even if I lost the Sui Dynasty and lost Liangzhou and Haizhou, it would be just a bad luck and there was nothing to be ashamed of.


    But if the Qiang people who had finally destroyed the ban were lifted, the Qiang people who had been lifted for a hundred years were revived, then I, the Great Sui Dynasty, will be the sinner of the Han people. Please be careful. ”


    It is not difficult to see from Ban Gu''s words that in the hearts of many scholars and officials, they have gradually accepted the fact that the Qin Dynasty was about to unify the world, so the perspective of considering the problem began to change into the entire Han nation.


    In the minds of opposition groups such as Ban Gu and Cheng Gongying, the Sui Kingdom could be destroyed, but the Xie Qiang Order could not be released because it would harm the interests of the entire Han nation. If it was really implemented, they would be the sinners of all Han people.


    But in the hearts of Yang Guang, Yang Su, Gao Bing and others, the interests of the Sui Kingdom were overwhelmed by the entire Han nation.


    What about the Han people? They can''t control so many things, but the Sui Kingdom must not perish.


    It is precisely because of this that Yang Guang, who was already angry, was naturally even more angry when he heard that Ban Gu kidnapped his morality with national justice.


    Seeing Ban Gu so tough, Gao Feng thought to himself that he didn''t know anything. He was about to shut up quickly, but Yang Guang, who was furious, took the lead.


    "Okay, okay, Ban Gu, you finally said your heart."


    Yang Guang suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted: "Even if Da Sui loses this battle, it''s not embarrassing? Of course you are not embarrassing.


    If the Great Sui Dynasty is destroyed, you can take off your official uniform and put them on the official uniform of the Great Qin Dynasty. You will be an official of the Great Qin Dynasty and you will still enjoy wealth and glory.


    But what about me? Do you want the king to surrender and beg for surrender from his father''s enemy, and live in humiliation for the rest of your life? ”


    Ban Gu''s face turned pale by Yang Guang''s roar, and he quickly defended with panic: "Don''t be angry, Ban Gu has no intention of surrendering to Qin..."


    Before Ban Gu finished speaking, he was interrupted directly by Yang Guang.


    "You have no intention of surrendering to Qin? You, Ban Gu, have a younger brother who is the prefect of Hanzhong in Daqin. Do you dare to say no?"


    Hearing Yang Guang''s words, Ban Gu did not hesitate at all and said decisively: "No, Ban Gu has no intention of surrendering to Qin. All his words are for the lord and for the sake of my Great Sui."


    Yang Guang sneered when he heard this: "What a great Sui Dynasty for me. If you can say such things, you will not be ashamed to lose for me. I think you have long wanted to sell your owners and seek honor and exchange your own wealth for wealth."


    As soon as Yang Guang said this, not only Ban Gu, but even Cheng Gongying and Li Delin''s faces changed drastically. However, due to the situation, they could not help Ban Gu, so they could only bend their waists lower.


    Ban Gu''s face was pale at this time. Yang Guang not only questioned his position, but even questioned his loyalty. This was undoubtedly a great insult to him, who had always been conscientious and loyal. "Ban Gu is definitely not a seller who seeks honor. If the lord doesn''t believe it, Ban Gu is willing to die to prove his innocence."


    As soon as Ban Gu said this, not only Gao Yang, Yang Su and others, but also Yang Guang could not help but change his face.


    He naturally knew Ban Gu''s loyalty to him. In recent years, Ban Gu''s younger brother Ban Chao, the prefect of Hanzhong, wrote more than once to persuade Ban Gu, but Ban Gu did not even read it in order to avoid suspicion and handed it over to him.


    Ban Gu''s loyalty is beyond doubt, but now Ban Gu''s words of showing his ambitions have made Yang Guang feel a little out of trouble.


    Just when Yang Guang was a little hesitant, Ban Gu said again: "Lord, Ban Gu can die, but the ban cannot be lifted, otherwise we will all become sinners of the Han people."


    As soon as this said, a cold light flashed in Yang Guang''s eyes, and he had a murderous intention in his heart, but he finally endured it.


    "Hmph, it''s stubborn, the Qiang Order must be implemented, and the will of your own will have been decided. If you want to die at the right time, find a place to die by yourself. Don''t pretend to be hypocritical here."


    After saying that, Yang Guang didn''t even look at Ban Gu, and left directly, leaving Ban Gu''s stall alone, kneeling in his place, his eyes full of disappointment and silence.


    Cheng Gongying and Li Delin looked at Yang Guang''s back, and were increasingly disappointed with Yang Guang''s performance in order to survive the country and regardless of national justice.


    Seeing this, Gao Yang and Yang Su immediately stepped forward to comfort the three of them. They had to collect the mess Yang Guang made after all.


    "Mr. Ban, the lord was just talking angry just now, so don''t take it seriously." Gao Feng comforted.


    When Ban Gu heard this, he had a flash of hope in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Gao Jin and said, "Prime Minister, you must also think that the Jie Qiang Order cannot be introduced, right? Go and persuade your lord. Once the Jie Qiang Order is implemented, we will all become sinners."


    Gao Bing''s face suddenly froze. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Master Ban, you have to understand the lord''s difficulties. Now I, the Great Sui Dynasty, want to protect myself, and there is no other way except to borrow from the Qiang people."


    Ban Gu looked at Gao Yang with disbelief, unable to believe that Prime Minister Gao, who was diligent and loving the people, would actually support Yang Guang in introducing the Qiang Order.


    Suddenly, Ban Gu suddenly realized that he was born as a civilian and Gao Yang were never the same person.


    literati and officials born in aristocratic families like Gao Yang and Yang Su have always focused on their own interests and do not consider any national justice.


    As for Yang Guang, who was born in a noble family, he was essentially a kind of person like Gao Yang Su. In his heart, the interests of the Sui Kingdom were above everything else.


    He would have implemented so many benevolent policies in Liangzhou, and it was only because doing so would be beneficial to him and his hegemony, so he did this, not because he really cared about the common people.


    Although a gentleman does not care about his actions and hearts, he should not look at what others think, but rather on how they do it.


    It was precisely because Ban Gu saw Yang Guang''s actions that he decided to be loyal to Yang Guang. But when Yang Guang exposed his selfish nature, he just felt like a joke.


    "The way is different, don''t make plans for each other." Ban Gu said to himself with a desperate look on his face.


    Because the sound was too low, Gao Feng didn''t listen to it, so he asked, "What did you just say?"


    And he was responded to a roar.


    "I said different things and didn''t make plans." Ban Gu roared.


    Everyone present heard this time, and their faces changed, and Gao Yang said with a serious face: "Master Ban, be careful of your words."


    Gao Yang knew Ban Gu’s character and ability, and did not want Ban Gu to go to a dead end, so he said so. He wanted to pull Ban Gu back from the dead end.


    But Ban Gu no longer cared about these things. He was broken by Yang Guang and had a desperate ambition.


    Ban Gu smiled with a self-deprecating look on his face and walked back to his home stumbled back. What he said just now in the hall was soon submitted to Yang Guang.


    Yang Guang was naturally furious when he learned about it, and even more murderous in his heart. He knew that Ban Gu might have been disappointed with him, otherwise he would not have said such a rebellious statement in public.


    But considering Ban Gu''s contribution and his prestige among poor scholars and officials, Yang Guang suppressed his intention to kill and instead prepared to arrest him and imprison him.


    The people sent to arrest Bangu quickly returned, but they did not catch Bangu, but only brought back Bangu''s body.


    "Lord, something is wrong. Lord Ban committed suicide. This is the suicide note written by Lord Ban before his death."


    "What?"


    Yang Guang was stunned and quickly took the suicide note. After reading it, he was so angry that he trembled all over and directly tore the suicide note to pieces.


    Yang Guang never expected Ban Gu to be so strong. He was determined to be alive because of his angry words, and he advised him not to implement the order of Xie Qiang, and the suicide note also advised him to turn back and not to make repeated mistakes and make repeated advice.


    After reading Ban Gu''s suicide note, Yang Guang was moved and angry. Ban Gu was really thinking about him until his death. What was angry was that Ban Gu''s death made him completely unable to get out of Taiwan.


    Yang Guang, with a complicated mood, pondered for a while, ordered: "If you pass the order, Ban Gu committed suicide because of his conscience. I am polite and resentful, and will not get his family''s child because of his crime, and will allow his family to collect his body and bury him."


    "No."


    Yang Guang looked at the fragments of the suicide note of Ban Gu on the ground and said to himself: "No one can stop Xie Qiang Order, and no one can destroy me."


    That night, several carrier pigeons flew from Daxing to Haizhou. Since it was late at night, the Qin army''s falcons could not intercept the carrier pigeons, so the Qin army did not know about the news about the Xie Qiang Order.


    As for Yang Xinmi, Yang Xiong and others in Haizhou, although they were shocked after receiving Yang Guang''s inquiries, they were all royal families of the Sui Kingdom, so they naturally put the interests of the Yang family first, so they announced the understanding of the Qiang Order without much hesitation.


    Overnight, the order of Xie Qiang spread throughout the seven counties of Haizhou.


    After learning the news that the ban was lifted, the Qiang people in the seven counties of Haizhou could no longer describe it with joy. It was simply a joyful and even crazy for the whole clan.
