Just when Guo Jia and others were out of the list, Zhang Pet knew that the two military marquis under his command actually fled with their respective subordinates because they were worried that they would be guilty. After killing several soldiers who had made small mistakes in a row, he couldn't help but muttered to himself: Let go of Li Dao, presumably General Zhao will not let me go, should I also run away with the soldiers and horses?

Just when he was undecided, Huangfu Li came to the city under the escort of a group of soldiers. He saw the dejected Zhang Pet at the city gate, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Captain Zhang, why are you so depressed, could it be that something is wrong?" ”

Seeing the appearance of Huangfu Li, Zhang Pet seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, grabbed the other party's arm, and said excitedly: "Mr. Huangfu, please be merciful and save a certain life." ”

Huangfu Li was frightened by Zhang Chong's reaction, and hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhang, what's going on?" Hurry up and talk to the old man, and the old man can give you advice. ”

Zhang Chong hurriedly fought for his merits, and after taking people into the city, he rushed directly to the station of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and had a misunderstanding with Wu Xi's soldiers and horses on the way, and started a scuffle, Huangfu Li said it in detail. Finally, he said: "Later, I heard from General Zhao that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others might escape from the city by taking advantage of the chaos, and a certain hurriedly ordered two military marquis under him to lead the troops to the city gate to come to the rescue. But they were a step too late, and Li Dao had already led his men out of the city. He ordered the two of them to lead their troops to chase after them, but they actually fled with their respective men. ”

After listening to Zhang Chong's narration, Huangfu Li also realized the seriousness of the problem. He hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhang, Li Wei has escaped, what about Guo Yan?" Will they die in the rebellion, or will they flee from the city? ”

"I don't know." Zhang Chong shook his head and replied: "It is said that after Wu Xi ordered his subordinates to open the city gate for General Zhao, he led people to attack Guo Yan's mansion, and it is unknown what the situation is now. ”

Seeing that Zhang Chong didn't know what to ask, Huangfu Li was quite disappointed in him. However, considering that the other party is a newcomer, he can't be too harsh on him, so he can only persuade him with good words: "If Wu Xi really leads his troops to attack Guo Yan's mansion, presumably Guo Yan's life will definitely be difficult to protect." Captain Zhang, and went with the old man to see General Zhao and Mr. Guo. ”

If Zhang Chong was alone, he would definitely not dare to see Zhao Yun and Guo Jia. But now with Huangfu Li's company, the situation is very different, even if Zhao Yun and others are furious because they let Li Dao escape, Huangfu Li can also stand up and say a few good words for himself. So he readily agreed: "In this case, I will go with Mr. Huangfu." ”

Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were in the conference hall, thinking about what to do next. Zhao Yun sighed and asked Guo Jia: "Mr. Fengxiao, after Wu Xi killed Guo Yan last night, he was also seriously injured. A certain originally planned to keep him in the dock, so he could only reconsider the candidate. ”

"Although Wu Xi is seriously injured, it is not difficult to find the people who stayed in Yiwu." Guo Jia said confidently: "Not only Meng Dai, Cheng Yi, Hou Cheng and others can take on this important task, but even Zhang Chong, who has just surrendered to our army, can stay in Yiwu. ”

"Let Zhang pet guard the dock?" Hearing Guo Jia say this, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning: "Not long after this person was newly descended, he rashly entrusted him with a heavy task. If he has a different heart and stands on his own feet, we will raise troops to fight against him, and it will be ......"

Before Zhao Yun finished speaking, Guo Jia interrupted his later words: "Zilong has to worry, but after clearing the remnants of Li Dao's army in the city, we will also move the people in the city to Yecheng one after another." Even if Zhang Pet has different intentions in the future and tries to occupy Yiwu to stand on his own, but there are no people in the city, where will he get the taxes and soldiers? ”

Zhao Yun saw that the problem he was worried about was solved by Guo Jia so lightly, and his heart was much more steady. But then he thought: Although Guo Yan is dead, Li Dao's whereabouts are unknown because of Zhang Chong's negligence, and after Zhang Pet comes later, what should he do with him?

Zhao Yun was thinking about this in his heart, when suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "General Qiyu, Mr. Huangfu and Captain Zhang are waiting outside the mansion." ”

"Invite them in!" After Zhao Yun and the other soldiers left, he turned his head to Guo Jia and said, "We were talking about him, but we didn't expect him to come." ”

Soon, Huangfu Li and Zhang Chong came together. Zhao Yun first greeted Huangfu Li, and then asked Zhang Pet with a straight face: "Captain Zhang, I don't know if you can capture Li Dao?" ”

"General Zhao forgiveness!" When Zhang Pet heard Zhao Yun's question, he knelt on the ground with a puff of fright, and said in a low voice: "When the last general led his troops to the north gate, Li Dao had already led people out of the door. ordered the two military marquis under his command to lead the troops to chase, but who knew that they could not catch up with Li Dao, and they were worried that the last general would be blamed, so they actually fled. ”

Although Zhao Yun had already known in his heart that Li Dao had fled, he heard that the two military marquis under Zhang Pet, because they couldn't catch up with Li Dao, were worried that Zhang Pet would blame him, so he actually fled with his troops in private, and he couldn't help but be furious, he put his hand on the table in front of him, pointed at Zhang Pet and said: "Last night, you were greedy for merit, disobeyed a certain military order without authorization, and led the troops into the city to kill Wu Xi's soldiers and horses; Now, not only did you let Li Dao go, but there were also subordinates who fled with soldiers and horses. What are you guilty of? After speaking, Zhao Yun shouted outside, "Someone! ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's shout, he immediately rushed in from the outside with four big-shouldered and round-waisted soldiers. The four of them stood in the hall and asked loudly, "What does the general command?" ”

Zhao Yun pointed to Zhang Pet, who was kneeling on the ground, with his hand, and instructed his subordinates: "Drag this person out and behead him!" ”

The soldiers agreed, stepped forward to hold Zhang Pet, lifted him off the ground, and dragged him outside. Zhang Pet didn't expect Zhao Yun to disagree, and he was about to push himself out and behead, and he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life." After shouting twice, seeing that Zhao Yun did not react in the slightest, he shouted at Huangfu Li again, "Mr. Huangfu Help, help!" ”

"Wait!" Huangfu Li shouted, stopped the soldiers who were dragging Zhang Chong outside, and then said to Zhao Yun: "General Zilong, please read that Captain Zhang is a first-time offender, so let's spare him." ”

Hearing Huangfu Li's plea, Zhao Yun was unmoved, waved his hand at his own soldiers, and said in a stern tone: "You are still standing here and doing something, why don't you hurry up and push him out and behead him." ”

"Mr. Guo!" Seeing that the soldiers dragged Zhang Zhong and continued to walk out, Huangfu Li hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Captain Zhang has not long been surrendered, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, so he will inevitably make some mistakes, and please ask Mr. Guo to look at the old man's thin face and spare his life." ”

Guo Jia didn't want Zhao Yun to kill Zhang Chong, the reason why he didn't open his mouth to persuade him at first was to give Zhang Chong a dismount, but when he heard Huangfu Li speak, he turned to Zhao Yun and said: "General Zilong, read the first offense of Captain Zhang, in Jia's opinion, let's bypass him this time." ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhao Yun asked his own soldiers to bring Zhang Pet back, and said with a straight face: "Zhang Pet, since you have violated the military order, although Mr. Guo and Mr. Huangfu intercede for you, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." Left and right, quickly drag him out, and take fifty military sticks seriously. ”

Huangfu Li heard that he was going to fight with a military stick, but he couldn't persuade him again, so he could only watch Zhang Pet being dragged out. Soon, there was a dull sound of military sticks hitting his body outside the council hall, as well as the screams of Zhang Pet.

After the execution, Zhang Pet was brought into the council hall by two personal soldiers. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Yun, and said, "Thank you General Zhao for not killing!" ”

"Zhang Pet, a certain military stick beat you because military law is ruthless." Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Pet, who was kneeling in front of him, and said to him, "Since you have been punished, this matter is over." From now on, you are the defender of the city, and you are solely responsible for the safety of the city. If there is anything wrong, General Ben will only ask you. ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Chong never dreamed that Zhao Yun would appoint himself as the guard of Hewu after beating himself with a military stick, and hurriedly said gratefully: "Please rest assured General Zhao, the last general will definitely make a consequence of his crimes, fulfill his duties, serve Jizhou, and guard Hewu." ”
