Chapter 374: Interrogation

Ju Sheng finally surrendered, and after Legui ordered the county army crossbowmen to shoot and kill about two dozen rebel soldiers, Ju Sheng hurriedly offered to surrender on the condition that he wanted to be treated well.

But Le Gui obviously won't pay attention: what conditions do this group of rebels who are dying dare to negotiate with him?

So, Le Gui made a final warning: "Surrender or die!" ”

Under the threat of Le Gui, Ju Sheng surrendered unconditionally with dozens of old soldiers who were still following him at the moment.

Speaking of which, this battle has been fought to this day, and the Kunyang side has killed many generals of the rebel army, such as Gan Guang, Fan Wu, and Ying Sheng, who were killed by Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others, all of whom were generals at the level of the rebel army.

Even, even Xu Bao, the general under Guan Shuo, was killed by Ishihara of Kunyang Fang.

But capturing alive a 'Qu General' level rebel general, Kunyang Fang is the first time.

Therefore, even Zhao Yu was quite interested in this captured enemy general, and wanted to meet him and ask about the information about the rebels from the other party's mouth.

However, before that, Zhao Yu had to wait for all aspects of the city to count the casualties, and at the same time send people to appease the people in the city.

After all, it was naturally impossible for him and Wu Zhi to conspire to 'trap and kill the rebels' in advance, which meant that when Ju Sheng led the army into the city in the middle of the night, the movements they caused inevitably frightened the people in the city.

Although the vigilant Brotherhood militia received the order and immediately pacified the people who tried to flee, many of them were frightened, mistakenly believing that the rebels had entered the city, and wept in despair until the Brotherhood militia knocked on doors and told them that it was just a ploy to 'lure the enemy deeper'.

Many of the people did not believe it, and they hid in their homes and did not dare to go out until it was dawn, and they looked out of their windows to find that the Brotherhood militia they knew was still patrolling the streets back and forth.

At this time, the people in the city dared to go out, and even some dared to go to North Street to inquire about the situation, and saw with their own eyes the rebel soldiers who had been trapped by straw ropes.

At the same time, the county commander Liu Bi also came forward in person, with a team of county guards to comfort the people, swearing that everything was under the control of the Zhou leader and the county government.

With the guarantee of this Liu County Order, the panicked people in the city slowly calmed down.

For this reason, Li Xu, the county magistrate, complained to Zhao Yu afterwards, complaining that Zhao Yu's strategy was too risky, and in order to trap and kill less than a thousand rebels, he almost caused a commotion among the people in the city.

As Li Xu said, despite the casualties on the city walls, Kunyang County took such a big risk last night, but in fact only managed to earn about 700 rebels - about 500 of them surrendered.

In order to trap and kill more than 700 rebels, the people of the city mistakenly thought that the rebels had really entered the city, causing panic, which was not worth it in Li Xu's opinion.

In response to Li Xu's complaints, Zhao Yu Zhengse explained: "Booby-trapping the rebels is one thing, but in addition, I also hope that the people in the city can 'adapt to the danger'. …… We all know that there are tens of thousands of rebels outside the city, and if these tens of thousands of rebels take a strong attack against all means, I am worried about whether they will be able to resist them at the city walls. …… And last night's swift attack on the city wall by the rebels is enough to prove that the rebels have the idea of 'as long as they capture the city wall, they can capture Kunyang'. I have always said that if we can hold on to the city wall today, we can't guarantee that the city wall will still be in our hands tomorrow, in order to ensure that my Kunyang will not be wantonly slaughtered by the rebels, I think we had better prepare for the worst......"

"Worst-case scenario?"

"Street fighting." Zhao Yu said solemnly: "If the city wall unfortunately falls, guard the streets and alleys, build defenses on the narrow streets and alleys, and continue to resist the rebels. …… Therefore, I think it is necessary to let the people in the city adapt to the danger in advance. ”

"I see."

Li Xu suddenly realized and looked at Zhao Yu with a strange gaze.

Even he didn't expect that under the current situation that the situation was still stable, the leader of the black tiger thieves had already considered the next move of 'being breached by the city wall', and made some arrangements in advance.

He couldn't help but sigh again, he had this black tiger thief leader in Kunyang, which was really a reassuring thing.

Around the end of the day, Zhao Yu, Liu Bi, Li Xu and others listened to the reports from all aspects of the city, and then sent someone to inform Chen Mo and asked the latter to send someone to escort the famous Qu Jiang to the county office.

"Your name is Ju Sheng? …… Are you under Guan Shuo, or which of his generals? ”

Zhao Yu looked at the rebel general Qu who was tied up in front of him with great interest.

The so-called face is born from the heart, unlike most of the green forest thieves who look like thieves with eyebrows and rat eyes, crooked melons and cracked dates, the rebel general in front of him can be described as dignified, even if his whole body is tied by ropes, but he still gives Zhao Yu a temperament similar to Sun Xiu.

When Zhao Yu looked at Ju Sheng, Ju Sheng also secretly observed Zhao Yu, and asked instead of answering, "You are Zhou Hu?" ”

Seeing that Ju Sheng didn't answer Zhao Yu's question but asked the latter, Niu Heng, who was standing on the side, stared at him and scolded: "Ask you anything, you will answer!" ”

"Huh."

Zhao Yu chuckled and raised his hand to stop Niu Heng, then looked at Ju Sheng and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am Zhou Hu." ”

"What about these two?"

Because his hands were tied behind the rope, Ju Sheng pouted at Liu Bi and Li Xu, who were sitting in the seats on both sides.

Zhao Yu was not annoyed, and introduced warmly: "This is my county order in Kunyang, Duke Liu." This one is the county leader of my county, Li County. ”

"......" Liu Bi and Li Xu glanced at Ju Sheng with cold expressions.

Hearing this, a few different colors flashed in Ju Sheng's eyes.

He had heard many times that Kunyang was different from the other counties they had conquered before - the other counties were all called by the local county commanders and county lieutenants, but in this Kunyang County, a local bandit leader named Zhou Hu was in charge, giving orders and taking the lead against his righteous teacher.

Originally, he didn't believe much about it, but it wasn't until he saw the man who called himself Zhou Hu sitting in the main seat at this moment, while 'Liu County Order' and 'Li County Cheng' were sitting at the bottom, and he was convinced.

It's just that he still doesn't understand why Zhou Hu is just a local bandit in Kunyang, so he can preside over the overall situation here.

He couldn't help but ask: "I heard that the leader of Zhou is a bandit on the ground of Kunyang, and he has been surrounded and suppressed by Kunyang County many times, and these two are officials of the Jin court, why would he allow the leader of Zhou to call the shots?" ”

"Because we have to fight against your army together. …… Zhou is a small family, but Liu Gong and Li Xiancheng are people who know the general situation, and they don't have the same knowledge as me. ”

Zhao Yu said casually.

Hearing this, Liu Bi and Li Xu shook their heads and smiled in unison.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two of them, Ju Sheng looked at Zhao Yu suspiciously, he didn't believe the latter's explanation, and felt that it was nonsense. Yiyun Chinese

However, just as he was about to ask again, he saw Zhao Yu smile and said, "Okay, I answered your three questions, so you can also answer my three questions, so it is fair." ”

Ju Sheng was stunned, thought about it carefully, and found that Zhao Yu had indeed answered his three questions, and after hesitating, he nodded and said, "Okay." …… However, if it involves the urgent matter of our Changsha army, please allow me to refuse to answer below. ”

"You guy!"

Niu rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists and threatened: "You, the general of the defeated army, dare to be so arrogant?!" ”

“……”

Ju Sheng glanced at Niu Heng, although he was a little afraid of Niu Heng's physique, but his face did not show the slightest fear, he still looked directly at Zhao Yu's eyes, and his words and deeds were quite not arrogant or humble.

『…… It's kind of interesting.'"

Zhao Yu waved his hand to dissuade Niu Heng and nodded: "Yes." ”

Immediately, he asked Ju Sheng: "Let's answer my previous question first, are you a subordinate general under Guan Shuo?" ”

Ju Sheng thought for a while, shook his head and replied, "No, it is General Qu under General Liu De." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Yu and deliberately didn't say anything.

Of course, Zhao Yu saw Ju Sheng's careful thinking at a glance, and he didn't say anything, and continued to ask according to Ju Sheng's intentions: "Who is Liu De?" ”

"General Liu De is the general under the account of Guan Qu Shuai, and he is also our general who is responsible for attacking the east city wall of Guixian."

"Oh."

Zhao Yu nodded clearly, and asked again, "How many soldiers do you have waiting for?" ”

Ju Sheng shook his head and said: "This matter involves the secrets of our army, please forgive me for the inconvenience." ”

At this time, Niu turned his head to Zhao Yu sideways, and pretended to be fierce and said, "Ah...... Uh, chief, I'll clean up the boy, and make sure he's got everything. ”

Zhao Yu looked at Ju Sheng meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "If you are tortured, will you recruit you?" ”

"Who would have asked that?"

Ju Sheng felt a strange feeling in his heart, and said with a straight face: "But I want to die." ”

When Zhao Yu secretly observed Ju Sheng, Niu Heng snorted coldly: "Obviously a guy who surrendered, what do you say, 'but ask for death'?" ”

Hearing this, Ju Sheng finally couldn't help it, his face was full of shame and anger, and he defended: "I just don't want to see the soldiers under my command being shot to death with arrows in vain." …… Am I greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"Huh."

Zhao Yu chuckled.

As soon as he heard Ju Sheng's words, he had a way to restrain this general.

He waved his hand to persuade Niu Heng to retreat, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it, who let me agree in advance?" ”

"Why do you want to talk to the tiger this week?"

Ju Sheng glanced at Zhao Yu in surprise, and then said, "Thank you Leader Zhou for your understanding." …… So, it's my turn to ask again, I don't know why Chief Zhou wants to ......"

"Huh."

Before Ju Sheng could finish speaking, Zhao Yu raised his hand and interrupted: "Fang is the first thing you ask, I'll ask again, if it's fair, Zhou should ask three more questions." ”

"Huh?"

Ju Sheng was a little dumbfounded, because he still wanted to play tricks and deliberately 'trick' the leader of the black tiger thief in front of him with a question.

Zhao Yu looked at Ju Sheng with a smile, and then asked with a straight face: "First of all, I want to ask, who are you loyal to, or for whom...... I don't want to hear your righteousness of 'overthrowing the tyranny', I just want to know who you are loyal to." That's always the answer, right? ”

"He doesn't know?"

Ju Sheng glanced at Zhao Yu in surprise.

Indeed, this is not a big deal.

He thought for a moment and replied, "I'll wait, be loyal to the King of Chu." ”

“……”

Liu Bi and Li Xu glanced at each other.

At this time, Zhao Yu asked again: "King Chu? Who's that? ”

Ju Sheng's expression became even more strange, and he was about to answer, but he saw Li Xu arching his hand towards Zhao Yu and said: "The king of Chu in his mouth, that is, Yang Gu, the Marquis of Chu in the old days, after Yang Meng, the Marquis of Chu when I founded the Great Jin Dynasty...... If Leader Zhou wants to know the origin, he doesn't need to ask him, we can tell him. ”

As he spoke, he got up and approached Zhao Yu, and whispered in his ear: "Yang Meng, the Marquis of Chu, is the righteous brother of my Great Jin Taizu, who helped Taizu recover the rivers and mountains and was named the Marquis of Chu...... When it comes to Taizu, it is not appropriate to discuss it in public, so as not to cause rumors. ”

"Oh."

Zhao Yu nodded clearly, and ordered someone to temporarily detain Ju Sheng, preparing to ask Liu Bi and Li Xu about the matter first.

It is also ashamed to say that he led the Kunyang army and people to resist the rebels so far, but he still does not know the origin of the 'rebels'.
