Liu Cong and Zhang Zhao looked at each other for a long time, and they each had trust. Liu Cong naturally wanted to subdue Zhang Zhao, and now Da Qiao is in trouble in Chaisang, if Zhang Zhao submits to himself, then the remaining Kan Ze, Han Dang and others and even most of the Jiangdong soldiers may fall to themselves, so that Liu Cong can save a lot of effort.

"Thank you Prime Minister for rescuing, thank you Prime Minister for taking care of Mrs....... for all these days," Zhang Zhao finally chose to sit down at the top of the left side of Liu Cong's military tent. In the past few days, he has also listened to his wife, Xu Sheng and others talk about getting along with Liu Cong. In fact, on the way to Chaisang, Zhang Zhao couldn't believe that in just a few years, Liu Cong really sat firmly in Jingzhou, pacified Yizhou, and attacked Xuchang.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, Mr. is a pillar of my Han Dynasty and has lived in Jiangdong for a long time. Jincong was ordered to pacify Jiangdong, and asked Mr. to help Cong regardless of his previous suspicions! ”

The prime minister laughed, the prime minister is a young hero, both civil and military. is old and dying, and now he is even more homeless, just hoping that the prime minister can open the net and spend the rest of his life. Although Zhang Zhao is very grateful to Liu Cong, it is mainly because Liu Cong did not hurt Da Qiao. As for his old life, Zhang Zhao thought that Sun Quan would not be interested. Of course, the biggest worry is still the Zhang clan. If Zhang Zhao only came to take care of his wife, maybe Sun Quan wouldn't be the same.

Once Zhang Zhao publicly surrendered to Liu Cong, then the Zhang clansmen who remained in Wu County could be bloodbathed. Moreover, Zhang Zhao has followed the Sun family for so many years, it is impossible to turn the corner all of a sudden.

"Sir, what are your concerns? Cong was ordered by the king to pacify Jiangdong. I don't want the world to continue to fight for years. Mr. is a genius, Sun Quan is not a Ming Jun, why should Mr. stick to his own thoughts? When the court is the most important, the people of the world are the most important! Liu Cong knew that Zhang Zhao was still a scholar in his bones and had a certain recognition of the Han court, so he did not let Zhang Zhao submit to himself, but to the court, which was also high-sounding.

"The prime minister doesn't need to work the old man in vain, and the old man is really grateful to the prime minister. The old man didn't want to see his wife go into exile. As for other things, please don't say more! ”

"......" next is exactly what Fa Zheng said before, no matter how Liu Cong lowers his figure, if he advocates the righteousness of the court, Zhang Zhao seems to be iron-hearted. Anyway, no matter what you say, if you let me live well, thank you, and if I am brought to prison, I will never cry out for injustice! One day he dies, and he hopes that Liu Cong will take care of his wife on his behalf......

Liu Cong knew that it would definitely not work to go on like this, so he called Fa Zheng in. Fa Zheng is eloquent, but Zhang Zhao seems to be an old stubborn, although Sun Quan does not treat him well, he has always treated Sun Quan as a child and grandchild. Besides, a scholar who is nearly sixty years old will be afraid of death, and when it comes to debate, Liu Cong naturally can't overpower him. After a battle of words, Fa Zheng was also defeated, and looked at Liu Cong helplessly.

"Sir is just worried about the people, isn't he worried about the people of the world, and isn't he worried about the captives in this Chaisang city?" Liu Cong finally returned to the front of the case, and before that, he deliberately sat face to face with Zhang Zhao, in order not to give Zhang Zhao the feeling that he had been on top. But now it seems that whether it is humble and humble, whether it is Corporal Lixian, it will not work for Zhang Zhao.

"Prime Minister, the old man has not asked about political affairs in Jiangdong for many years, and he is powerless to worry about the world."

"That's it! Mr. insists on this, and it is inconvenient to be reluctant to do so, but there are still some things to deal with today, so please sit down for a while, and if there is something inappropriate in this appearance, please ask Mr. not to be stingy with advice. After Liu Cong sat down, he waved his hand towards Fazheng.

Fa Zheng comprehended, so he quickly came to the tent to give instructions, and after a while, Gan Ning, Yu Ban and others also came to the tent.

"Lord Qiqi, there is not much food and grass for our army." Yu Ban did not shy away from Zhang Zhao, and after coming in, he picked up the important thing and said.

"What? Didn't you check it a few days ago? It is said that it can hold on until the end of the summer harvest. Liu Cong looked surprised.

"My lord, in the past few days, there have been deserters from inside and outside the city begging for food. In addition, after the destruction of the city, the injuries of the captives gradually improved, and the amount of food increased greatly, and many victims in the city who had lost their homes due to the war also came to ask for food, so they ......"

"Lord, the grain and grass are related to the stability of the army, and please make a decision as soon as possible!" Fa Zheng hurriedly stood up again.

"Well, filial piety, what good can you do?"

"My lord, at present, there are more than 7,000 captives and deserters in Chaisang City, and I am afraid that most of them are unwilling to submit to our army. Not only do we have to waste a lot of food to feed them, but we also need a lot of soldiers to take care of them. I just thought that I would start surrendering immediately, and all those who didn't surrender today would be executed, and Rui Yi would be able to reduce some food consumption! ”

"It seems that this can only be the case, Wen Ze, this matter will be left to you. Xingba, you must always pay attention to the ripeness of grain outside the city, and once the people start to harvest, they will immediately start to go to the countryside to harvest grain. Liu Cong glanced at Zhang Zhao, and then commanded.

"The last general commands!" Yu Ban seemed to be prepared, glanced at a few people in the hall and continued: "Lord, in fact, before the ban came, he had already asked his subordinates to do it, and it seems that there are still about three or four thousand people who refuse to surrender to our army, including Mr. Derun and a few people......"

"Mr. Derun is a guest of his own life, and cannot be treated as an ordinary captive. Let's deal with the rest first. Liu Cong and the others almost ignored Zhang Zhao's existence, but Zhang Zhao knew in his heart that the young prime minister deliberately said it to himself. So I sat there with my eyes closed and listened to all this.

Soon Yu Ban took the order and left, Liu Cong seized the opportunity to speak again: "Sir, in fact, these captives respect Mr. and Madam very much, if Mr. is willing to return to the imperial court, presumably they will follow Mr. as well." Then you don't have to die! ”

"The prime minister is good at killing, and Zhao can't stop it. It's just that the dignified prime minister wants to detain this crime on the old man? Zhang Zhao heard what Liu Cong had to say, so he frowned, looked at the young man and said.

"What the gentleman said is very true! It's not that Cong wants to charge Mr., but these people were indeed killed by Mr.! The prime minister has made up his mind that from now on, he will kill a hundred people every time he burns incense, until the gentleman returns to the imperial court! Seeing Zhang Zhao's attention being attracted, the corners of Liu Cong's mouth turned up slightly.

"My lord, General Yu ordered me to come and tell you that there are still 3,200 captives in Chaisang who refuse to surrender." Soon after, a herald came in to report it.

"Well, pass on the order, from now on, kill a hundred per incense stick!"

“？” The herald looked at Liu Cong in confusion, thinking to himself what happened to the lord today? Usually he is resolute, how can this thing of killing prisoners still kill with a stick of incense? Just as he was about to continue asking, Fa Zheng waved his hand and asked him to go out.

"The prime minister still shouldn't waste his efforts, although the old man is a dying man, he is also used to killing in his early years, and this kind of carving insect skill can't frighten the old man."

"Really? I believe that I can't frighten Mr., but I don't believe that Mr.'s heart is made of stone! Liu Cong knows that this kind of old stubbornness is to fight patience with him, and he must be defeated psychologically.

"My lord, a hundred people will be brought to the school grounds."

"Kill!" Liu Cong also sat down in front of the desk following Zhang Zhao's example, and the rest of the people in the conference hall stopped talking, and only the herald came and went.

"Lord, the second batch is brought."

"Kill!"

"Lord, bring the third batch."

"Kill!"

Liu Cong looked at Zhang Zhao, who was originally very calm, and his face began to be a little difficult, and he seemed to be ready to add some materials: "Xiaozhi, you go and inform Wen Ze to tie up the entourage and family members of Mr. Derun and others to the school field, and it will be their turn after killing the prisoners." ”

"My lord, no! Mr. Derun is a generation of Confucian, and General Han Dang bravely crowns the three armies......"

"Xiaozhi, you are so confused, the more powerful the enemy, the more you can't stay! It would be great if they were willing to surrender, but if they insisted on not surrendering, would they not be able to let the tiger return to the mountain?"

"But?"

"It's nothing, if Mr. Zibu refuses to surrender after these people's entourage and family members are killed, continue to kill a few of them!"

"Yes!"

The dialogue hall between the master and servant could be heard very clearly inside and outside the hall, and Zhang Zhao naturally did not say a word. He knew that Liu Cong was fighting a mental war, but as time went by, he gradually couldn't sit still. Because the herald always shows up in the council hall on time, and every time the herald goes out, there will be a scream on the school yard not far away! Liu Cong said first, he couldn't move around casually if he entered Chaisang, and now in the former Governor's Mansion Chamber, Zhang Zhao couldn't go out to see what was going on, and everyone who reported the news.

And Liu Cong seemed to be red-eyed, and he didn't even have time to elaborate on the order, he said the word as soon as possible, kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The killing is going on, and the contest between the two sides is also going on, Liu Cong looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile on his face from time to time: "Sir, don't doubt Benxiang's determination, if Benxiang is a weak person, Jingzhou will have already become a place of four wars, not to mention pacifying Yizhou and crusading against Jiangdong." And what about the sir? You don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of you! ”

"You!" Zhang Zhao was angry, how could this Han prime minister, who seemed to be heroic before, become a scoundrel, he wanted to kill the prisoners and save food, but he planted the charge on his head?

"Sir, what my lord said is true, if Mr. insists on this, not only will 3,000 captives die in Huangquan, but even the pillars of the country such as Mr. Derun and General Han Dang will be killed one after another? I don't know what Mr. is insisting on? Didn't Mr. go south to avoid trouble, and later came out to assist the Sun family, just for the peace of the world and the health of the people?

Could it be that the gentleman could bear to watch thousands of people die for fear of tarnishing his reputation? These thousands of captives, as well as Mr. Derun and the others, and the reputation of Mr. and Mr., compared to Mr. 's people, is it more than right? ”

"You ......" you, you have become you, Zhang Zhao became angry.

"Sir, this prime minister will fulfill you, if Mr. insists on refusing to surrender, then all the captives captured in Jiangdong in the future will have to die! They all died because of Mr.! And this phase will definitely pacify Jiangdong and shock the world! After pacifying Jiangdong, the prime minister will return to Mr. Free! ”
