Chapter 151: Scholars also kill
"Find a coffin and bury the Huang family on the spot."
After listening to Zhang's account of what Huang did before his death, Heifu was silent for a long time, and did not behead Huang again, but let people be properly buried.
"She is also a good wife and mother, licking calves deeply, but it is a pity that she was born in a chaotic world...... It's a pity. He didn't say much, waved his hand, and asked a few Qin soldiers to handle the matter.
In the process of reunification, how can there be glorious justice everywhere, under the prestige of the Qin army, I don't know how many wives have been separated and separated.
Although Heifu can guarantee that Humu Township, where he is located, is the best place for military discipline in the Qin army's garrison area, and he dare not say that Qiu did not commit any crimes, but at least there was no bullying of men and women and humiliation of the local people. But he can't be a good man forever, especially he doesn't dare to neglect his duties, and he indulges the wanted criminals to escape in an informed way.
At this time, Chen Ping, who had been busy all night, came over, and seemed to have something to say.
"You, what should I do with this son?" Chen Ping pointed to Zhang Er's son, Zhang Ao, who was stuffed into a small room by the Dongmen leopard.
"Sent to Waihuang or Daliang for a mission, the superior indicated that he wanted to live, so as to coerce Zhang Er to return to the case, and now Zhang Er's wife is dead, and only one orphan remains......"
He smiled helplessly: "It proves that we have indeed captured Zhang Er's wife and son, and the reward of twenty taels of gold is enough for my soldiers to return home." β
Although Heifu seemed to have heard of Zhang Er's name in his previous life, he didn't know what kind of deeds he had, let alone that the child who was crying for his mother in the house was actually the historical King of Zhao and Liu Bang's unlucky son-in-law.
Chen Ping shook his head: "I have heard a saying that those who govern the country, when they see evil, they must hoe off its blades of grass and dig out its old roots like a farmer who is eager to get rid of weeds, so as not to make it grow again...... This is a way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. β
Heifu looked at Chen Ping: "What do you mean?" β
Chen Ping's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, his hand was like a knife, and he waved it down: "Instead of staying it for future trouble, it is better to kill it, don't you hear about Xia Shaokang's revenge?" β
Heifu disagreed: "After this son was handed over to the officials, most of them were brought back to Guanzhong and treated as a small subordinate, and they were all prisoners in this life, accompanied by mud and masonry, so there was no need to worry." β
He asked himself if he was not cowardly enough to kill a seven-year-old child to dispel his fear and calm his heart.
Chen Ping wanted to persuade him again, but Heifu had already made up his mind: "After you go back, prepare your bags, and transport food the day after tomorrow, and you will go with me!" β
After yesterday's incident, Zhang Bo was ill and could not be a director, so the third elder Zhang Cheng temporarily took his position as a husband. Zhang Cheng thanked Heifu for letting Zhang's horse go in this matter, and agreed to his request for grain. Hedong Zhang Xizhang force, 2,000 stone grain, dozens of oxen and horses are all preparing, and they can set off the day after tomorrow.
When they learned that the Qin people were collecting grain, the villagers were full of complaints, but after hearing about the grain loan from the Zhang family, the people in the township were all happy, because this could help them survive the end of April and early May. In this way, when they were called up for rations, they did not arouse much opposition, and they were enough to gather more than 100 people.
This is the power of the local townspeople, without the assistance of the Zhang family, these things would never have been possible by relying on Heifu, the fifty Qin pawns who could not understand the language. This is the reason why he would rather sacrifice the Huang family and pull the Zhang family to stand in the same boat with himself.
After Chen Ping left, Zhong Ming came to Heifu's side, looked at Chen Ping's back and said: "At first, I thought that Chen Ping was just cowardly and filial, but now it seems that his heart is even more ruthless than ours, and he doesn't even want to let go of a seven-year-old child." β
Heifu shook his head, thinking of Chen Ping's reputation as a "desperate plan" in history, this is indeed his style.
"Scholars kill people, sometimes they are more ruthless than martial artists!"
"Because they only need to call the shots and let others do it for them, and they don't have to stain their own blood."
But if you think about it carefully, how could you not be like this yesterday?
So Heifu stopped mentioning this matter, and asked Zhong Ming, who was arranged by himself to contact each other in Zhang's house, "What's going on in Yi?" β
Zhong Ming said: "Zhang Ying asked me to report to You, Zhang Er's friend Chen Yu (yΓΊ) sent someone to contact, but after sensing that something was wrong, he ran away again, and they failed to capture him alive, so they could only shoot him......"
"Chen Yu?" Heifu frowned, another one he hadn't heard of.
Zhang Cheng said that this person is a Confucian student of the Great Liang, and Zhang Er is a close friend, and later Chen Yu went to Zhaodi, and now although the Zhao State is broken, Chen Yu is still a famous person in Zhao, and his reputation has even spread to Hanoi County. There are many Yan Zhao Zhixia under his subordinates, and now the people who come to contact him have died and have not returned, I am afraid that Chen Yu has already known that things have changed, and he hopes that you will be more careful......"
β¦β¦
When he learned that the group of Zhao Di visitors were looking for him, Zhou Shi was repairing his crossbow machine.
Zhou Shi is in his thirties and has a sparse and yellowish beard, which is his most obvious sign. He is a native of Huangchi, and his family has been a military pawn of the Wei State for generations, and his grandfather and father died in the battle with the Qin army, so Zhou City hated the Qin people and hated to eat their flesh raw.
But his resentment alone couldn't stop Qiang Qin. In January and February of this year, Qin destroyed the last main force of Wei with an unstoppable offensive, surrounded Daliang City, and sent people to attack and surrender the surrounding counties and townships.
Zhou Shi, who served as a military official in Yangwu County, planned to be loyal to the Wei State and defend this place, but who expected that Yangwu Ling listened to the advice of Zhang Bo and chose to surrender to Qin!
Zhang Bo is a person, there is a personal intimacy and small righteousness, but there is no great righteousness of the country's survival, Zhou Shi was too late when he heard the news, so he could only take some subordinates who were willing to follow him out of Yangwu and live in exile among the wild woods.
But he didn't give up, because as long as Daliang didn't fall for a day, there was still hope for Wei. As the military soldier with the highest loyalty to Wei, Zhou City began to avoid counties and townships, wandering in the mountains and forests of Lilu, which could not be touched by the Qin army's forces, absorbing people who were willing to join him, and soon gathered more than 100 Wei people.
They began to attack the lone Qin people, cut off the Qin army's riders from various counties, and even organized an attack on the Yangwu County grain transportation team. It's a pity that the Qin people have already mastered the arsenal of Yangwu County and are well-equipped, and they only had time to burn some of the grain and grass in Zhou City, so they left more than a dozen corpses and retreated.
"Our strength can't compete with the Qin army stationed in the county seat."
Knowing this, Zhou stopped trying to recapture Yangwu and began to turn his sights to the townships.
The rule of the Qin people in the countryside is not strong, generally only send a tun of fifty people to maintain order, at present, all parts are sending grain to Daliang, this is the most vulnerable season for defense, Zhou City can choose to take people to attack the grain team, or directly attack the township, as long as a township is captured, the Qin army has to send people to chase him.
In this way, you may be able to buy a little time opportunity for the beam......
What Zhou City wants to attack the most is Humu Township. Zhang Bo persuaded the Yangwu County Order, and Zhou City has always held a grudge against it.
It's a pity that since the Qin people were stationed in Humu Township, the relationship between the Qin army and the Zhang family has not been as stiff as in other townships, and the Qin army of more than 50 people has not coerced the people, bullied the people's daughters, and caused mass incidents like the garrisons in other places.
A peaceful Humu Township makes Zhou City have no way to speak.
I thought that the requisition of grain might make the resentment of the people of Humu Township boil, but the people sent by Zhou City to inquire came back and said that everything was business as usual in the township, and the Zhang family and the Qin army reached an agreement and were willing to lend grain to the people to help them tide over the difficulties......
Zhou Shi was disappointed, but fortunately, his subordinates brought back the news at the same time, and also brought a group of people back.
Or rather, it was under the persecution of those people who brought them back.
Zhou Shi stopped what he was doing and looked at the person standing in front of him with his head held high, but saw that this person was less than thirty years old, eight feet tall, dressed in Confucian clothes, wearing a Confucian crown, and only a sword hung from his waist.
"You are Chen Yu? Zhao Di Mingshi? β
"Exactly down there." Chen Yu's eyes were red, or he hadn't slept all night, or he had just cried.
Zhou Shi has always looked down on the weak Confucian students, and felt that they were useless, and when they died in the country, they would only run away with the ritual utensils, so he smiled and said: "I don't know why Chen Sheng has taken my subordinates hostage and has to come to find me?" β
Chen Yu arched his hand towards Zhou Shi and said: "When I led people to infiltrate the Yangwu realm, I heard that Zhou Jun recruited more than 100 strong men to fight against the tyrannical Qin with his own strength, and Yu was very impressed. Today, I am willing to take ten Zhao Di knights to help Jun and attack Humu Township with Jun......"
Zhou Shi was very wary of this Confucian student with an authentic Liang accent, and sneered: "Guangfu Humu Township? Although you are from Wei, you have already run to Zhaodi, for no reason, why do you help me? β
"Don't hide it from Zhou Jun, I have a good friend with the Xia of Waihuang Zhang County, before the Waihuang City was broken, he sent his wife and son to the Zhang family in Humu Township to take refuge temporarily, and then I secretly picked them up. I thought that although Zhang Bo descended to Qin, he still remembered his old friends and could keep his promises, who would have thought that he would ......"
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, the Zhang family suddenly repented and informed the local Qin officials about the incident, and the Qin officials and the Zhang family together forced my sister-in-law to death, Chen corpse was outside, and kidnapped my seven-year-old nephew, and now he is imprisoned in the camp outside the city......
After hearing this, Zhou Shi shook his head and said, "I only have more than 100 people under my command, which is not enough to besiege the township. Listen to what you mean, since the Qin officials and the Zhang family are compatible, there are fifty armor soldiers, plus two hundred servants of the Zhang family, and the villagers of Humu do not want to oppose Qin, they want to break through Humu Township and rescue your nephew? It's tantamount to a fool's dream. β
"Then I have a second plan."
Chen Yu was unwilling, and said: "When my doorman was investigating outside the township, he saw that dozens of cattle and horse carts had been gathered in the city, and they also transported grain from Zhang's house in a steady stream. At that time, my nephew will definitely be brought with him, and I hope that Zhou Jun can attack the grain team with us. β
"That's not out of the question."
Zhou Shi got up, looked at Chen Yu who was eager to try, and smiled: "Of course, Confucian scholars can also kill people?" β
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"Zhou Jun is prejudiced against Confucianism!"
"I have heard that Zhong Ni has a disciple Zhong You, who is vulgar and brave, the crown of the rooster, and the sword of the dolphin, and then worships Confucius as a teacher, learns Confucian etiquette, and is a Confucian student."
"Zhong You was the ruler of the city in the house of the patriotic doctor Kong Kui and ruled the city for him. At that time, the civil strife of the Wei Dynasty, the rebels besieged Kong Kui, when it was, Kong Kui's warriors all fled out of the city, but Zhong You entered the city retrograde, and met the rebel party on the way, and killed them all. When he arrived at Kong Kui's house, the rebels even besieged Zhongyou with hundreds of spears. Zhong You fought with a sword, with the strength of one person, the enemy was a hundred people, and dozens of wounds were in his body, but he still stood tall, and counterattacked and killed more than ten people......"
"In the end, the crown belt was cut off by Ge, and he said, 'The gentleman dies and the crown is inevitable', so he knotted and died......"
After saying that, Chen Yu suddenly pulled out the two-foot sword at his waist, and Zhou Shi's subordinates all stepped forward nervously, but Zhou Shi raised his hand to stop them.
Chen Yu sat on the ground and played the sword and said: "Although I am a Confucian student and a good Confucian, I advocate Zilu and hope to be a Confucian hero, so I corresponded with Zhang Er and became close friends." β
"Zhou Jun asked me if I could kill someone? Hahaha, when I was in Liang, although I was young, I once drew a sword, killed an evil boy who bullied the market, and fled to Zhaodi. In the bitter state of Zhao, when I met a bandit and wanted to take away my clothes, I drew my sword and rose up again to kill two people. Only then did the local wealthy Gongcheng clan be amazed, and he called me as his son-in-law, relying on the wealth of his wife's family, and became famous in Zhaodi......"
It's a pity that within two years of that, the violent Qin broke through Handan, and Kucheng was also included in Hengshan County. Qin law is strict, does not like Confucianism, forbids rangers, so the former Jinglun meets, talks about the past and the present, the former husband gets together to play, and the sad song is generous, all of which are gone...... My sword has been dusted for a long time......"
After Chen Yu sighed, he stood up with his sword again, and bowed his hand respectfully towards Zhou City:
"Zi Lu said, those who eat their food do not avoid it; As far as I'm concerned, those who have a neck sex don't shy away from it! Now, it is the day when my long sword will cut down the Qin officials, punish the traitors, and drink blood again. β
"It's good to teach Zhou Jun to know that Confucian scholars can also kill!"
