The commotion made by Long Fei this time was huge, and his hatred for taking action was beyond everyone's imagination. The list obtained by Chen Dao and Meng Shuo included not only these generals of the Dragon Army, but also the surrendered ministers of Wu State.
Reduced general. No more fighting. Even though the country is ruined, all the money is still in their hands. Even if they can no longer hold official positions in the empire, they have done a lot over the years, and they will definitely have no worries in the rest of their lives. So this group of people can't wait to go
to the Qinhuai River.
Long Fei did not touch them, but cut his own men. This was to show his skills and also to tell the veterans of Wu State to be calm. People from the whole city came to visit. Since hundreds of people knelt at the entrance of the palace,
, people came one after another. When Zhong Hui tied up the exit, everyone was surprised. The people of Wu State really felt Long Fei's domineering power in their hearts.
Looking at the generals who were tied up and still kneeling on the ground, Long Fei said with a dark face: "Do you know why you are tied up?"
"The general will understand!" Everyone answered together, their voices loud and clear, without the slightest sign of weakness.
"Norimitsu, tell me."
"The three drums were drummed together, but the drums were not pressed on time!"
Long Fei snorted coldly: "Xu Yi, tell me!"
Xu Yi hesitated for a long time and then said: "Sleeping in Huajie and Liuxiang at night will damage the reputation of the Dragon Army!"
"Okay!" Long Fei glanced at everyone: "It's good to know! Soldiers must behave like soldiers, and it's the same as being an official. Always think about your mission! Just after conquering the Kingdom of Wu, you stayed outside the military camp.
You two are still generals, tell me! How are you preparing?"
Xu Yi and Dianman quickly lay down on the ground: "General, I am willing to accept another punishment!"
Long Fei turned back and glanced at Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui swallowed hard. His words can determine the life and death of these people. These are soldiers of the empire. Dian Man and Xu Yi are still his brothers. He can't look at these.
The brother died like this. Zhong Hui thought for a while and said: "If you can't do it at 10 o'clock, you will be punished with fifty military sticks! You must stay overnight in the flower street and willow alley! It is considered as leaving the military camp without authorization, and you will be punished with thirty military sticks. No one will be punished with eighty military sticks. The code is full."
, as Xu Yi is a general, add twenty more!"
Long Fei suddenly turned around and looked at Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui quickly raised his head. Unable to bear Long Fei's eyes, he finished the sentence in one breath. Then he took a deep breath and lowered his head. Everyone around him didn't know.
, these people will be beheaded according to the law, Zhong Hui is taking a risk to save them. Many people are grateful to Zhong Hui, especially Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Some people admire Zhong Hui's courage and dare to play this game in front of Long Fei.
set.
Although Zhong Hui said so, as long as Long Fei doesn't nod, they will still die. Looking at the faces of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Xu Chu's face was expressionless, and he must be in pain in his heart. Dian Wei was in a hurry and had to kneel down to Long Fei.
Next, he begged Long Fei to let his son go. These people had followed him through life and death, step by step, to reach today. Dian Wei and Xu Chu had saved their lives many times. Let Long Fei kill their sons.
It’s really hard to give up.
Long Fei took a breath. When Guo Jia saw it, he stabbed Zhong Hui hard, and Zhong Hui got an idea. Seeing Guo Jia keep winking, he naturally understood what it meant and shouted loudly: "Come on! Execution!"
The military stick is not a whip. When the whip hits the body, it will be bloody and miserable, but these are all skin injuries. The military stick is a round piece of wood. If you hit it, the skin will only turn red, but the internal organs and even bones will probably be broken.
With a hundred military sticks, even a thick-skinned guy like Dian Wei would be disabled. In the square in front of the palace, the sound of cracking and beating could be heard one after another.
There are five executioners in a class, two of them are responsible for holding down the prisoner, two on each side, one on each side, each carrying a military stick, and one person stands behind him and shouts the number loudly without hitting him.
No one participated, everyone gritted their teeth and endured, even the corners of their mouths were bitten and bled, and still remained silent. A quarter of an hour later, the other people had finished their torture and were carried down. Only Dianman and Xu Yi were left.
They were still lying there. Their pants were already stained with blood, and their buttocks were bloody and bloody. Dian Wei looked at them with a tight fist, and held them tightly with both hands.
Guo Yi sneaked up behind Dian Wei and Xu Chu: "Don't worry, uncles, I've told you about these people. They look big and fierce, and they won't hurt the bones of my two brothers!"
The common people had seen such a scene, and this incident soon spread in Jianye and even the entire Jiangdong. The business of Qinhuai River plummeted, and as the largest shareholder, the Zhang family had to announce the closure of Qinhuai River. Qinhuai, which was in great prosperity for a while,
The river just comes and goes in a hurry, flashing in the long river of history for a brief moment.
Without the Qinhuai River industry and land, the Zhang family's days of hundreds of slaves and delicacies were gradually coming to an end. Although Zhang Cheng was not imprisoned, he felt particularly uncomfortable sitting at home. He had long known that Long Fei was here
The set of reforms he instituted in his territory caused the aristocratic families to suffer a great deal. He never thought that this day would come to him.
In order to maintain the reputation of the Zhang family as the largest family in Jiangdong, even though there is no income, they still live a life of spending money every day, even more than before. Zhang Cheng did this to show Long Fei, what he didn't know was
, Long Fei was too lazy to watch, he didn't like the life of rich kids, let alone watch it.
Time flies, and half a year later, the Zhang family has finally gone downhill. What has been passed down for generations has been squandered by Zhang Cheng. As a scribe, he disdains collaborating with businessmen, let alone doing that kind of thing for the sake of petty petty people.
It is a profitable business. Therefore, one day when you have a free day, you first sell the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house, and dismiss the slaves. Later, you sell the real estate until you are homeless.
It’s not just Zhang Cheng’s family who has suffered like this. The big families in Wu State, the whole family, and the Zhu family are not much better. Although there are still several people from these two families serving in the government, it is difficult to maintain the daily expenses of the huge family. They have to
Announce the dissolution of the family and let everyone live their own lives.
Just outside the east gate of Jianye City, under a haystack, all the heads of the family, including Zhu Huan, the head of the Zhu family, were waiting there early. Just before noon, Zhang Cheng appeared in front of them with unkempt appearance. The two of them appeared.
Although the clothes on his body were torn, they were still clean. However, Zhang Cheng was in tatters and his hair was not washed. He still held half a piece of cake in his hand and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
Seeing Zhang Cheng's appearance, Quan Duan laughed and said, "General, you don't look like a general at all now!"
Zhu Huan also said: "Yes, how can I feel like a beggar? If I come in and out of your general's mansion, I'm afraid I will be kicked out."
Zhang Cheng looked up and down at his appearance: "What's wrong? Do you understand this is called disguise? Only by walking on the street like this can I avoid the people sent by Long Fei to follow me. Who can be more vigilant like you two?"
nothing."
Zhu Huan chuckled: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Why did the general come to us? Isn't it just to let us admire your appearance?"
Zhang Cheng looked around and saw no one around, so he decided to do it. The three of them buried their heads together and muttered behind the haystack for a whole afternoon, sometimes cursing each other, sometimes lowering their heads to whisper, sometimes laughing.
, sometimes shed tears of sadness. People passing by only regarded them as madmen, but they had no idea that these three people were making a crazy plan.
Xuzhou, Pengcheng,
After the Kingdom of Wu was destroyed, Zang Ba was in fear all day long. According to his idea, he would have surrendered long ago. However, military advisor Sima Yi said that Long Fei had already conquered the whole world, only Xuzhou was missing. Zang Ba's surrender would be the icing on the cake.
Fei will never give Zang Ba satisfactory conditions. If Zang Ba wants more favorable conditions, it is best to be patient and at least wait until Long Fei's people come to him.
Zang Ba thought it made sense and nodded in agreement. However, after waiting for half a year, Long Fei had no intention of sending anyone. On the contrary, the Long Army's movements were particularly huge. Just like the siege of Wu State, the infantry and navy had surrounded Xuzhou.
.Zang Ba began to regret it.
Zang Ba had several blisters on his lips these past few days because of his anxiety. He even felt uncomfortable eating: "Commander! When will Long Fei's people come? You didn't say it would be March or May at most. It's already been half a year. Isn't it possible?"
Don’t come! What should I do?”
Sima Yi said: "Lord, don't worry. Since Long Fei can't come, it means that Long Fei is not sure about taking Xuzhou. As long as we continue to train soldiers and increase money for defense, Long Fei won't dare to do anything."
General Sun Kang sneered and said: "Will the defense be strong? The military advisor thinks that our city wall in Pengcheng is thicker than Jianye's wall? Can it block Long Fei's cannon?"
Yin Li rolled his eyes at Sima Yi: "In the Battle of Hebei, millions of military advisors could not stop Long Fei from crossing the Yellow River. Why are you so sure that Long Fei will not be able to capture Xuzhou!" He turned to Zang Ba and said: "
Brother, I don’t think we can wait any longer. If we wait until Long Fei really takes action, it will be too late!”
Zang Ba nodded vigorously, but he was a little reluctant: "Yuanlong, what do you think?"
Although Chen Deng only gave the order to Pi, he was the controller of half of Xuzhou. If he did not agree to surrender, Zang Ba would be helpless. Chen Deng and his father Chen Gui have been in Xuzhou since Tao Qian's time, which is at least thirty years.
Not only did he have connections behind him, he also had a lot of troops. That’s why Zang Ba wanted to seek Chen Deng’s opinion.
Chen Deng shook his head and said: "I'm a young general in Picheng, so I can't speak. But from the mouths of several generals, I can tell that the soldiers have no fighting spirit. I'm afraid Xuzhou won't be able to hold on. I will obey the lord's decision in everything."
It felt like he didn't say anything. In fact, he clearly stated his position. He was standing with the generals Sun Kang and Yin Li. Sima Yi immediately understood that he was the only one in the Xuzhou court who was leading the battle, and in his hands
He has no real power yet. Although he has the title of military advisor, it is of no use to him.
Chen Deng was originally a member of the Black Ice Group, and Sima Yi had tried his best to win over him, hoping to unite with him. Unexpectedly, Chen Deng had always kept a distance from him, and was lukewarm, which was why Sima Yi had been in Xuzhou for such a long time without doing anything, and had to move him
His eyes turned to Jiangdong. Now that Jiangdong was dead, Xuzhou was the only one left in the world, so he had no choice but to make a last-ditch effort.
During the court meeting, Zang Ba seemed to be moved, which forced Sima Yi to speed up. He waved to one of his personal bodyguards and pointed at Chen Deng: "Follow him, find out who he has met recently, and report it immediately.
