Zhang Yan did not object to Zang Hong's request for prisoners, but he hesitated and did not express his position on Zang Hong's request to move into Yecheng. He responded to Zang Hong's request that he get the two counties of Yanshan and Zhao, and Wei County
All the proposals belong to Zang, with different opinions.
Why! Zhang Yan of Yanshan County used actual control before he captured Yecheng. Now that he has finished conquering Yecheng and asked him to take something, he gave him Zhao, the smallest state in Jizhou, even if he dismissed our Black Mountain Army.
and face
Yanshan County is the first to bear the brunt of the incoming Yuan army. Let them block and fight Yuan Shao. One of you will run away, and the other who has preserved his strength will be waiting behind to clean up the mess, which will hurt both sides. Who is willing?
Zhang Yan and Zang Hong, who had just met in Yecheng for a day, had a very unpleasant quarrel over the spoils-sharing agreement that had not been reached before the war. They even asked Cao Zhi to make a judgment. Cao Zhi thought to himself: "It's none of my business, I've already done it."
I got what I want, but you can’t tell it apart. Is there any use in asking me? Can you recognize who I’m telling you to give it to?”
So, the smart Cao Zhi came to Duan Taiji with these two big guys. What you said made sense, and what he said was right. Anyway, they discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't make a decision.
Zhang Yan and Zang Hong broke up unhappy because of this incident, and each returned to their own territory. But no one in Yecheng was willing to let go; Zhang Yan stayed with Yu Du, Zuo Miao Zhangba and Yu Shigen who accompanied him.
There are still 10,000 troops and horses who continue to stay in Yecheng. Zang Hong, not to be outdone, asked Tao Sheng to make up for 3,000 troops and continue to stay in Yecheng to safeguard his due rights.
The two gangs were already a bit angry, and Cao Zhi was happy for them to fight. He took advantage of Yudu's loose surveillance of the external warehouse and moved all the weapons, armors, uniforms and even some herbs that the army stocked in the warehouse.
He got on the car and threw the old weapons and clothes that Cao Jun had replaced in the warehouse.
When the villain Cao Zhi succeeded, Yu Du and his Black Mountain Army became addicted to confiscating homes. He directly appointed Tao Sheng as the temporary "warden" of Yecheng, mainly responsible for guarding those Jizhou officials who had become prisoners.
After two days of cleaning up, a huge number of Jizhou officials and their families were detained in the state capital.
The banditry of the Montenegrin Army was also being unleashed. As soon as Yu Du and other upper-level generals opened their mouths, the subordinates began to follow suit, and planned house raids, which really turned into a catastrophe for the entire city.
At dusk on the third day after the capture of Yecheng, Cao Zhizheng, Xu Chu and Li Ru stood at the top of the west city and looked out. The 50,000 soldiers and horses and most of the food and grass that had been withdrawn from Yanzhou were already on the road. Le Jin's western front combat troops had also withdrawn.
As Cao Zhi's forward army, they contacted Yanmen Karasuma who was stationed on the western front and were already heading towards Bingzhou.
Large trucks filled with military supplies were lining up in an orderly manner and driving out of the West City. Cao Zhi's current fleet of cargo vehicles could definitely be described as very large. Cao Zhi looked at these trophies being transported to Bingzhou, and he felt satisfied again.
surged in his body.
As he was watching, a strong wind suddenly rose, yellow sand covered the sky, the sun was dark, thunder shook and then heavy rain poured down. All the soldiers above and below the city had their clothes and shoes wet.
When Cao Zhi and others saw the thunderstorm this summer, they couldn't help but feel trembling in their hearts.
Cao Zhi and others returned to the lower city, commanded the crowd, took out their raincoats and oilcloths, and ordered the troops to continue their march. He was about to turn back to the north gate of Cao Zhi's temporary headquarters, but when passing through an alley, he heard the sound of weapons clashing.
With the sound of shouting and scolding, dozens of Montenegrin Army soldiers rushed out with swords in hand.
Cao Zhi thought to himself: "What are these many Montenegrin soldiers doing here?"
So, he led Xu Chu, Li Ru and dozens of guards to quicken their pace, turned their horses and entered the alley. They dismounted and walked to the door of a house. They saw a group of their own soldiers wielding their swords and killing more than ten people. The Montenegrin Army soldiers who were trapped in the house and unable to escape were running around.
Cao Zhi shouted: "Stop, stop! We are all our own!"
The general led by Cao Jun turned his head when he heard the sound, saw Cao Zhi, and hurriedly bowed and shouted: "Lord!" Then he loudly ordered the soldiers of Cao Jun who were fighting with the Black Mountain Army to step aside. Suddenly, the Black Mountain Army soldiers saw someone. There is a way to escape, and the swarms come out.
A man who looked like the leader of the Black Mountain Army rushed to Cao Zhi. He saw that Cao Zhi was wearing a black robe. He didn't know what military position he had. He was stunned and said: "You... you are their commander, right?"
Cao Zhidao: "Exactly, everyone misunderstood, brother, don't blame me."
The leader of the Montenegro army said angrily: "Misunderstanding! Huh, look, your people killed many of our brothers." He pointed to the seven or eight corpses on the ground.
When the officer of Cao Jun who had just stepped aside heard this, he ran out unconvinced and cursed: "Damn it, you guys, as soon as you entered the house, you grabbed things with your hands and said that if you don't hand over the gold and silver, you will set them on fire." House. We followed the Lord's order and patrolled the city. We came here when we heard the shouts. We happened to see these bastards touching the girl of this family, saying that she was a spy and wanted to take her away. Damn it. Bastards, what's the difference between you and bandits?" He said and punched out, and with a bang, the leader of the Montenegrin Army flew straight away.
Although the officer of the Montenegrin Army who was beaten suffered a loss, when he saw that Cao Zhi was outnumbered, his mouth was filled with blood. With the help of the left and right guards, he got up and shouted: "You officers and soldiers are waiting. , I’m going to find our leader right now, and I’ll come back to save this place later!” The leader of the Montenegrin Army turned around and ran away in a hurry with his men after making these harsh words.
Cao Zhi stopped Xu Chu who was about to pursue him, turned around and walked into the house. He saw the young and pretty girl, who was currently curled up in the arms of a gray-haired old lady, trembling. Standing next to him was a trembling, half-century-old man who was forcing a smile. The room was in a mess and turned upside down.
When Xu Chu saw this, the patrolling officer behind him angrily told him what he saw in the market, saying that the Montenegrin Army, which had been relatively honest since early this morning, suddenly started running around everywhere, occupying some houses, and even * * All kinds of plundering were carried out, almost all kinds of things were done.
Xu Chu was surprised and said, "Does their generals not care if they do this?"
"No one cares. Many of them are led by their generals!"
"Damn it, if you dare to ignore our orders, I will go find Yu Du right now and ask him if he has forgotten the three chapters of the agreement between the master and him? If he doesn't remember, I will twist off his head and stuff it into him go!"
After Xu Chu finished speaking, he was about to impulsively walk out of the house. Li Ru held him back and persuaded Cao Zhi, who was equally indignant: "My lord, many of the Black Mountain Army were originally thieves and came to this Jizhou government office and the colorful world. How can we not be arrogant? Let them go, we will leave tonight, or not..."
While talking, suddenly there was a loud shout outside. Cao Zhi and others were startled and ran outside the door. They saw countless people running back and forth at the exit of the alley. Judging from the uniforms, they were all soldiers of the Montenegrin Army. This outer city has always been occupied by Cao Zhi. Zhi's men were mainly stationed and controlled. Now so many Black Mountain troops suddenly poured out. Cao Zhi didn't know what happened, so he took Xu Chu and others and hurried out of the alley.
As soon as I came out of this alley, I saw countless Montenegrin troops setting fires all over the city and killing people. Hooligans and gangsters in the streets and alleys also took the opportunity to come out and plunder. There were cries, shouts, thunder, and the sound of rain.
, one after another, what a chaotic scene.
As soon as Cao Zhi and others turned around a street, they saw dozens of Montenegrin soldiers robbing a large house and dragged two young women out. The two women just cried and struggled and refused to leave.
Cao Zhi was furious and ordered his subordinates to come forward and ask questions. When the Black Mountain Army saw the scar-faced general from Cao's army, they had already heard about Xu Chu's glorious deed of slaughtering two hundred defenders in Xicheng without leaving a single prisoner behind.
Knowing that this man was powerful, he shouted, threw away the woman's belongings and ran away.
Xu Chu didn't catch anyone, so he yelled angrily and roared: "If he catches the blind one, he will be crushed to ashes" and other threatening words.
Cao Zhi also felt that the Montenegrin Army had gone too far. Yesterday, he also heard that Duidu had sent people to raid the official residences in the inner city. Cao Zhi thought about it and thought about it. After all, those officials were rich, and there was no money inside.
People, wealth
Take whatever you want. Today, these ungrateful guys actually went to the outer city to plunder. The outer city is full of ordinary people. Cao Zhi decided to go to the state capital to have a good talk with Yu Du and let him
Restrain your subordinates and be more restrained.
Everyone followed Cao Zhi, got on their saddles, and walked all the way to the inner city. They could only hear the soldiers shouting and laughing, and the people crying and lamenting everywhere. In the streets and alleys, Black Mountain soldiers were galloping back and forth, some
Carrying property on their backs, some carried women in their arms and walked openly.
After walking a few more steps, I saw several corpses lying on the street. Two of them were female corpses. They were all naked, and a stream was flowing out of mixed rain and blood. The abdomen of one of the female corpses was cut open, and there was nothing inside. Cao Cao
Xu Chu and others around Zhihe gasped, and immediately judged that this was a pregnant woman. After death, her abdomen was cut open and the baby inside was taken away. How cruel this was.
Most of the soldiers were experienced in the battlefield, and they had seen corpses that were ten times worse than this. But killing a defenseless pregnant woman like this, and then having to disembowel her and take away the baby, was beyond the pale.
The bottom line for anyone with a conscience.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky. Cao Zhi's face turned pale as he looked around at the tragic scene of the corpses under his mount, whose wounds continued to bleed. He could no longer bear it, and a violent and overwhelming emotion filled Cao Zhi's mind.
At this time, my heart was in chaos, but full of all kinds of negative emotions: anger, bloodlust, irritability...
He suddenly jumped off the horse, and the anger on his body was not dissipated by the rain. At this moment, Cao Zhi's eyes were completely red and bloodshot. He could no longer control his calmness, so he
Feeling that the murderous aura in his heart was becoming more and more unbearable, he finally yelled, "Kill! Xu Chu, kill these sons of bitches!"
