The Zhang brothers were difficult to ride a tiger, knowing that they might not be able to capture Wuzhou with their strength, but they had to send the arrow, otherwise how could they talk about Long Lingxiu? Long Lingxiu often boasted that his subordinates were all elite soldiers, and the Zhang brothers were even more trusted and favored by him, if they didn't dare to lead the troops at this time, would it be difficult to really let Cao Weiming personally give it a go?

Cao Weiming just grasped everyone's psychology, anyway, now the soldiers are divided into two factions, one faction is afraid of death, they all support Cao Weiming, and the other faction is also afraid of death, but they still don't want to live a hard life in the wilderness, so they hope to follow the Zhang brothers to coax together, and then be lucky to take a city, and then eat and wait for death after owning a city, wouldn't it be very happy?

So in the end, the Zhang brothers succumbed, and Cao Weiming also showed great "sincerity", this time giving the two 15,000 men and horses, Cao Weiming only left 5,000 men and horses in the camp for defense, and all the others were given to the Zhang brothers.

The Zhang brothers are shallow-eyed goods, how do they know how powerful they are? Seeing that he had the absolute strength of 15,000 men and horses in his hands, he was a little floating, feeling that his two brothers had the upper hand in the confrontation with Cao Weiming!

In fact, they deserved to fail, because Cao Weiming returned to his account and told Tong Zi all the detailed strategies for using troops, and the boy only needed to repair a book and return to Hebei, and Lu Zheng could arrange countermeasures according to the Zhang brothers' use of troops.

The Zhang brothers originally only had 15,000 people, but this time Lu Zheng let them see the city wall of Wuzhou, but what about seeing the city wall?

Before the Zhang brothers had time to attack the city, they killed a Biao people in the city, and there were 5,000 of them, 5,000 cavalry, and then an army was killed to attack Zhang Yi's left flank, and the two armies surrounded the Zhang brothers' army one after the other.

The defeat is like a mountain, it is really embarrassing and embarrassing, the Zhang brothers are not people who can fight well, they eat good cattle when they enter the city, and the key is to give birth to a good skin, Long Lingxiu, a crazy woman, has always been nepotistic in choosing people, seeing that the Zhang brothers are very powerful, and Zhou Zheng looks like the two of them are fierce generals!

As everyone knows, once the fierce general went to the battlefield, he was immediately frightened after encountering a real strong enemy, and the army was defeated again, after this rout came back, Cao Weiming counted the number of people, and there were only a little more than 10,000 people left in 15,000 people, Cao Weiming was furious, and immediately tied up the two Zhang brothers and said to everyone:

"You have all seen it, I treat these two people surnamed Zhang with great courtesy, but these two people have murderous intent in their hearts, they not only want to kill me Cao Weiming, but also kill all of you!

Hehe, could it be that more than 20,000 of us really have to die in Hebei to break this situation? Anyway, my Cao Weiming made a statement, if people want my life, then I want someone else's life, there is nothing to say, there is no catastrophe except death in these years, the Zhang brothers have sent our brothers to death again and again, and today I Cao Weiming can't spare them! ”

Cao Weiming's passionate speech was very demagogic, the army had just suffered a defeat, and everyone's mood was extremely low! At this time, everyone is holding back an evil fire in their hearts, usually everyone can't find a place to vent when they hold the fire, and now Cao Weiming has lifted the Zhang brothers out, isn't this a target for everyone?

Immediately, there was humanity: "General Cao is right, according to military law, the Zhang brothers failed to send troops twice, and they lost their armor and suffered countless casualties. ”

Zhang Yi sneered and said, "Cao Weiming, you have simply eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard, just because you dare to kill our brothers?" We are all cronies appointed by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I tell you the truth, Her Royal Highness the Princess has a secret decree that we can deprive us of your military power at a critical time, and we are the leaders of this army! ”

Zhang Yi said that the audience was in an uproar, Cao Weiming sneered, and said: "People are about to die, and they have made such crazy words, before I came, Her Royal Highness the princess gave me a talisman, saying that seeing a talisman is like seeing His Royal Highness, can you still deceive people with such a demonic word?"

Let me tell you brothers, your brothers were still nursing when I Cao Weiming killed people! Today, so many soldiers are here, and everyone is a witness, so I will ask you, should incompetent people like the Zhang brothers who harm everyone be killed? ”

Cao Weiming and Zhang Yi have their own opinions, and the others don't know who to help, you must know that Long Lingxiu is true that the Zhang brothers are favored, and it stands to reason that their brothers have secret intentions that are credible. But if everyone supports these two goods with a clear banner and lets these two goods collide with everyone in Hebei, the final result will inevitably be that everyone will die in Hebei, who wants to die in this year?

In addition, Cao Weiming's statement is also tenable, that is, the military talisman in the army is very sacred, the talisman is important, Cao Weiming has the talisman in his hand, of course he is handsome, besides, although the Zhang brothers are the confidants of Her Royal Highness the princess, but they will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, the Zhang brothers have lost the battle one after another, and there are too many brothers who died in the hands of people, and now the morale of the army is low, if you go to war again, wouldn't you want everyone to die?

Under this psychological trend, no one is on the side of the Zhang brothers, but what about the Zhang brothers, they themselves feel quite good, because they are the henchmen of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Cao Weiming dares to kill them? Unless Cao Weiming wants to rebel.

Therefore, the two brothers not only did not reflect on and admit their mistakes, but scolded Cao Weiming, with an extremely arrogant attitude, in fact, this kind of behavior was deliberately done by Cao Weiming, he just wanted to make the Zhang brothers crazy, if they didn't go crazy, how could Cao Weiming kill them?

The result was that the Zhang brothers were extremely rebellious, and Cao Weiming, as a hero, couldn't bear it, so he ordered the two people to be pushed out of the tent and beheaded directly.

When the knife was on the neck, the Zhang brothers realized that something was wrong, and Zhang Yi began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but Cao Weiming was about to kill them, what was the role of their begging for mercy?

So the executioner finally cut off Erzhang's head with a knife in his hand, and as soon as Erzhang died, Cao Weiming immediately took action to eliminate all other dissidents in the general, many of these people were secretly planted by Long Lingxiu, and they generally had no reputation, and their main role was not to rebel, but to find an opportunity to report some abnormal situations in the army to Long Lingxiu.

Who is Cao Weiming? These days stationed in the wilderness, where can these dark lines send messages to the outside world? Cao Weiming took the opportunity to find out these people a long time ago! Today, I just took the opportunity to kill them all, and the rest of them were under Cao Weiming's control.

At this point, Cao Weiming then convened a meeting of the generals, and when she said that she had killed Erzhang, Her Royal Highness the Princess was furious, and asked Cao Weiming to take the soldiers to die immediately, otherwise they would not have to go to the capital.

Cao Weiming's incitement, the emotions at the scene immediately got out of control, and the generals were so frightened that they couldn't make a sound! You must know that many of them are not descendants of Long Lingxiu, and some of them are even people who joined Long Lingxiu's camp with Su Zhi, and now when they hear that Her Royal Highness the princess wants to let them die, what is the way to live?

The mood exploded, and suddenly someone said: "General Cao, I will take you as the leader in the future, and now at this point, go to the city of his mother and take his mother's princess, otherwise we will simply forget it!" ”

One person said that he was against it, and immediately some people echoed it and wanted to rebel, and this time the momentum was big, and everyone said that they wanted to rebel!

Cao Weiming was secretly happy when he saw this situation, but he was silent on his face, and said: "Rebellion is not a way, where do we have a way to survive if we rebel?" Now we are in Hebei, here...... Where can we go to rebel here? ”

What he said was equivalent to providing everyone with an answer, and sure enough, someone immediately said: "We will go to Lord Lu now!" Lu Wangye is eloquent, we defect to him in the future, maybe we can still make contributions, he day we broke through the capital, the capital of the one acre and three points of land we may be more beautiful than the princess's lineage! ”

"Yes, General Wang said well, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have a few soldiers in her hands, how can she compare with Lord Lu with her strength? We will defect to Lord Lu, and from now on, we will have a future with Lord Lu! ”

The crowd below was excited, Cao Weiming took in everyone's demeanor, and then made a statement immediately, and after letting the generals disperse, he secretly found those generals who did not say a word in the council hall, or had different looks, and then killed them all without hesitation, so that there was no more opposition from the whole army.

Seeing him behave like this, even if they let them drive the army into Wuzhou City, after arriving in Wuzhou City, the army will stay first, and he himself will go to Bianzhou to meet him, and after arriving in Bianzhou, Cao Weiming will quickly meet Lu Zheng.

When he arrived at the palace where Lu Zheng was, Cao Weiming prostrated on the ground and kowtowed: "Cao Weiming, a grass man, has seen Lord Lu, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Lu Zheng squinted at Cao Weiming, paused deliberately, and then said, "General Cao, what are you doing here?" You and I were brothers back then! Why do brothers need to be so polite? Hurry up, hurry up! ”

Lu Zheng personally helped Cao Weiming up, looked at Cao Weiming's first-class official robe, he nodded and said: "General Cao, don't worry, my Lu Zheng's words count!" You come from Wuzhou, or will go to Wuzhou, in addition, I worship you as the general of Gyeonggi, the general of Gyeonggi, from now on the military affairs and government affairs of Gyeonggi should be controlled by you, General Cao, you and my brothers must work together for the country and the people! ”
