Chapter 42 The King of Chu is nothing to worry about
Torture King Li Zhiyun soon let Dugu Huaien know how he was going to beat Nan Zheng.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Nanzheng soldiers who surrendered took the metal microphone and started to speak frantically towards the city wall, describing the various benefits of surrendering to the Tang army, and all kinds of benefits. What about a basic salary of three ounces of money, double commission, and group travel during New Years and holidays?
, big red envelopes, etc., which makes people’s eyes turn red after listening to them.
Even Li Zhiyun felt that he was really a conscientious boss after hearing this.
"...His Royal Highness the King of Chu has said that every five days we will have two days off and let everyone go home and sleep with their mother-in-law. The salary will be a lot of money. If you have land, you will be exempted from taxes, and if you don't have land, you will be rewarded with land!"
Damn it, who the bastard wrote this copy? It’s so explicit and lacking in restraint.
So Du Ruhui told him that Xue Yuanjing wrote the first draft and the soldiers were free to use it.
Needless to say, the effect is outstanding.
Dozens more people surrendered that night.
But Li Zhiyun knew that this was not enough, so that night, after many days of torture, the Tang army officially began to launch long-range fire strikes.
With the help of the trebuchet, the fire oil tank was smashed on the top of the city, and the flames instantly filled the air, burning the hearts of the Nanzheng defenders.
Originally, they were tortured to death, but now that the kerosene was used, the mentality of the Nanzheng defenders instantly exploded.
Resistance? Come to hell, surrender!
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
Wang Defa knew that he would definitely die if he continued like this, so he planned to take the last road to fight!
surrender!
Yes, he really didn't think he could defeat the 30,000 Tang troops under the city. Dragging him down would be a dead end, and a fight would be a dead end.
Apart from the chance of survival by surrendering, Wang Defa really didn't know how he could continue to live.
Soon after, Li Xiaogong found Li Zhiyun and said that Wang De had surrendered from the city.
This really surprised Li Zhiyun. He thought that Wang Defa was going to fight to the death, but he didn't expect him to be so spineless.
"Okay, get ready to enter the city."
"What should Wang Defa do?" Li Xiaogong asked. During this period, he had witnessed with his own eyes how Li Zhiyun tortured the Nanzheng defenders. How could he still fight like this? What a cheap way of fighting. Fortunately, Li Zhiyun was one of his own. If he were an enemy,
It can disgust yourself to death.
"Arrest him and keep him under strict guard. No one is allowed to approach without my order, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!"
"yes."
The news of Wang Defa's surrender reached Dugu Huaien's ears, and he smashed three large bowls in anger, and the crystal clear rice spilled on the floor, which made people feel distressed.
"Spineless thing!"
Dugu Xiude on the side said: "With Li Zhiyun's style of play, no one can hold on, let alone Wang Defa who is isolated and helpless."
He always felt that Dugu Huaien was a little childish, just to embarrass Li Zhiyun, which led to them being in a dilemma now.
"If we want to find Wang Defa, we can't let him reveal our affairs."
"What about the granary in Nanzheng? There are still thousands of pieces of armor that have not been moved." Dugu Xiude said.
Gan!
Only then did Dugu Huaien remember that Nanzheng had not been captured for so long, and the Dugu family's food and armor had not yet been transferred.
"I'll hold Li Zhiyun while you quickly go into the city and find our people to transfer supplies."
"yes."
When the Tang army entered Nanzheng, Li Zhiyun left the matter to Li Xiaogong and Dou Jing, giving them full responsibility for handling Nanzheng's affairs.
Then, he went to find Wang Defa.
In the past few days, Wang De had been trembling with fear, for the same reason. On the one hand, he was worried that the lunatic Li Zhiyun would use his head to claim credit from the Tang Emperor, and on the other hand, he was worried that Dugu Huaien would find someone to kill him.
All in all, it was a very hard life.
The food in the bowl was very fragrant, but Wang Defa had no appetite at all.
bump!
The iron prison door opened, and a young man with red lips and white teeth walked into the prison with a large number of tall, rough men.
"Get up!" Xie Shufang's eyes widened, and the bowl in Wang Defa's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a snap.
Just kidding, of course he was not frightened by Xie Shufang, but because he saw Dugu Huaien with a dark face behind Xie Shufang.
Dugu Huaien wanted to hold off Li Zhiyun so that Li Zhiyun, who was tired of government affairs in Nanzheng, would not have time to find Wang Defa. But he never expected that this bad guy was so speechless that he left all kinds of things to Li Xiaogong when he entered the city.
, I wandered around the city looking for someone to drink tea with.
Mudd, this guy's behavior is completely out of character.
"Are you Wang Defa?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"The sin will be just that."
"Why don't you want to surrender?"
Wang Defa's heart suddenly stopped when he asked, and he subconsciously looked up at Dugu Huaien, only to find that the latter glared at him fiercely.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the general is doing random things in the city and oppressing the people. I am worried that His Highness will...will..."
"Are you worried that this king will settle accounts with his wife?"
"yes."
The excuse was good, Li Zhiyun was not blind, and he didn't miss Wang Defa and Dugu Huaien's little moves.
"Then why did you surrender later?" Li Zhiyun asked again.
Nima, you torture people when you fight, and you also torture people when you ask questions, right?
Wang Defa was about to cry but had no tears. How could he have found such a miserable person?
"Your Highness, King Chu, the guilty general is guilty. I beg your Highness to forgive the guilty general's life."
"Spare your life?" Li Zhiyun snorted coldly, "If you had surrendered before, I would not only spare your life, but also entrust you with important tasks. But now, you can talk to the saint about this."
Wang De was stunned, this is so wrong, aren't you going to use my head to claim credit?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Dugu Huaien, who glared at him again.
"By the way, you have been in Nanzheng for so many years, do you know where the iron mines of the previous dynasty were?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Dugu Huaien's originally worried heart suddenly dropped.
He had already looked at Li Zhiyun with admiration, feeling that although this guy was a little bird with no hair, he was good at fighting and torturing people, and he was also a little clever.
But the question just now completely exposed Li Zhiyun's character.
Greedy for money!
Greedy for merit!
He remembered very clearly that Lao Li did not ask Li Zhiyun to find any iron ore, and this was something he came up with on the spur of the moment.
Humph, Li Zhiyun is just mediocre.
"I know, I know." Wang Defa nodded hastily.
Li Zhiyun gave Du Ruhui a look, and the latter understood. Then, Li Zhiyun took the people away, leaving Du Ruhui to record the location of the iron mine.
Walking on the road, Dugu Huaien couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Wang Defa is cunning and cunning. If you want to escort Chang'an, you must be careful on the road."
"Oh, what does my cousin think?"
"Dugu Xiude has always done things properly. How about letting him personally escort Wang Defa to Chang'an?"
Li Zhiyun was overjoyed, took Dugu Huaien's hand, and said kindly: "My cousin is really Zhiyun's think tank. Originally Zhiyun was still worried about this matter, but he didn't expect his cousin to have a countermeasure, which really moved Zhiyun.
"
Take your hand away! Dugu Huaien smiled and said: "Zhiyun, we are a family, how can my cousin not help you?"
Help you numb yourself and stop causing trouble for me.
"Then I'll ask my cousin to arrange it."
"Oh, no trouble, no trouble." Dugu Huaien agreed wholeheartedly.
In my heart, I despised Li Zhiyun a little bit, thinking that this kid is just a little trash with no eyesight and is nothing to worry about.
