Zishuo, the chief general of the Pi army, saw that the general Zhang Hu was captured and his morale was low, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, reorganize his troops and horses, and wait for the next day to fight again.

When he led all his troops and horses to withdraw to the camp, he ran towards the camp of Commander Pi Tong in the rear again to report the situation.

However, it was said that after Wang Mang took Zhang Hu from Shangguan Ningxuan's hand, he laughed three times and said to the soldiers on both sides: "Castrate him for me first, and then hang him up, and let the wind and rain cover it with snow." And let people cut their flesh and blood three times a day, for seven or four hundred and forty-nine days in a row, not one day less.

Moreover, it must be guaranteed that he will not be killed until forty-nine days later, either a day earlier or a day later. I want to use this to tell the whole world that whoever dares to beat me for the idea of quiet smoke, I will definitely make him unable to survive and die. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Two soldiers on the side rushed up, tied Zhang Hu to a giant log.

Then, a soldier took out a sharp knife, first castrated Zhang Hu, and then cut a thin piece of flesh on Zhang Hu's chest. He then slashed at his left and right legs.

Suddenly, Zhang Hu wailed, the pain was unbearable, the blood was gushing, and he begged for mercy: "Lord Wang, the slave should die, the slave should die." Spare my life, I will surrender, I will surrender. ”

"Surrender? Hahaha, everyone in the world can surrender, but you and that Su An can't. Wang Mang looked at the miserable Zhang Hu and wailed, and he was still angry.

So he picked up a thick piece of wood from the side and slammed it into Zhang Hu's knee.

After smashing several times in a row, Zhang Hu's knee was completely wasted, and the clicking sound caused by broken bones was endless, and the people who listened to it were terrified and terrified.

After Wang Mang smashed Zhang Hu's knee, he took a slight breath and said to the soldier: "Find me a Lang Zhong to stop the bleeding for him." lest he die prematurely. ”

The generals and strategists standing on both sides, such as Dong Wu, Yan You, Chen Shou, Gongsun Ce, He Jin and others, couldn't help but be a little scared when they saw Wang Mang being so ruthless.

In their eyes, Wang Mang had always been benevolent and righteous, paying attention to convincing people with virtue, and was a perfect person, never tortured.

But now, they seem to have reacquainted with Wang Mang. found that Wang Mang was actually a layman, even more ruthless than ordinary laymen.

At this moment, all the generals have a consensus in their hearts, that is, no one can provoke Wang Jingyan, otherwise the end will be extremely miserable.

Wang Jingyan is Wang Mang's only reverse scale, which angered the reverse scale, and there is only one way to die.

The generals didn't approve of Wang Mang's approach, and they all thought that Zhang Hu should be given a good time, or tortured for two or three days, there was no need to torture for so long.

Of course, they didn't dare to express this idea.

Some people disapprove, so naturally some people approve, and it can even be said that they appreciate Wang Mang's approach very much.

There are three people in favor, one is the killer Qiu Tong, one is Gongsun Ce's wife Nie Shuang'er, and the other is Sun Jiao, the second head of the bandit.

They unanimously agreed that Wang Mang's move was done well and rightly. To deal with thieves who insult their own women, they should be ruthless, the more ruthless the better, and there is no need to pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality.

In their opinion, if they still pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality to such a person, it is simply hypocritical to the extreme, and they are not worthy of being a man.

They all believe that since a woman is married to a man, then the man must at least do his best to take care of him. Not to mention how much wealth it can bring to a woman, but at least it must not make your own woman feel wronged. Especially if this grievance comes from someone else, this is even worse.

After torturing Zhang Hu for a while, Wang Mang led everyone back to the big tent and comforted Wang Jingyan a few words.

Then he calmed down and said to everyone: "Generals, now the battle situation has deviated slightly from our original plan, I don't know what you think?" ”

Everyone thought for a while, and the strategist He Jin took the lead in speaking: "My lord, in the humble opinion of my subordinates, the battle situation has not deviated from our original plan. Today, although they lost one of their generals, they retreated. But they should continue to come to challenge tomorrow, and I don't think Pi Tong will break his original plan because of one person. ”

Wang Mang nodded, and then asked, "Then in your opinion, is it better for us to challenge first tomorrow, or wait for them to come to challenge?" ”

"This..."He Jin shook his head, indicating that he didn't have any suitable opinions yet.

Wang Mang glanced at everyone, and when he saw everyone, there was a trace of unnatural look in their eyes. After thinking about it, he understood what was going on, and said with a light smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that I was too ruthless in dealing with Zhang Hu like that?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were taken aback, and hurriedly said in unison: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Hypocrisy!"

Wang Mang snorted: "I can guarantee that most of you people definitely think that my treatment of Zhang Hu is too harsh. But I'm not afraid to tell you that if I had to do it again, I'd give it that order.

Our wives and daughters have been wronged by others, and we as husbands are not angry for them, so who can be angry for them? When a woman marries us, she just wants us to give her a care and warmth.

We are not just soldiers on the battlefield, not only those on top of the country, but also the husbands of a woman. The best thing we can give our wives is absolute peace.

We must pat our chests and make bold promises that no one in the world dares to beat our wives and daughters with impunity. Whoever dares to make up his mind, even if it is the emperor, we will pull him off the horse and kill Ling Chi with a thousand knives.

In other words, if I dare to beat your wife and daughter, you will do everything possible to catch me and torture me by all means. If you don't, then I'm wrong.

Think about it, if we are defeated, will my wife Jingyan suffer the fate that those people say? What if it were your wives and daughters? Will you be able to calm down and give the enemy a good time? "Benevolence" is not pedantic, and "ruthlessness" is not ruthless. ”

"Your Excellency's words are very reasonable, and the women agree!"

Gongsun Ce's beautiful wife stood up, she put a pair of apricot eyes on Gongsun Ce, and said word by word: "Gongsun Ce, now take this opportunity, I want to tell you a word." You can ignore any of the strengths and weaknesses of Lord Wang, but this idea of protecting his wife and children, you must not leave it out at all and learn it.

I don't want you to be indifferent if I am humiliated by someone else. I don't want to be rich, I just want you to give me the most peaceful environment, to ensure that I am not bullied by outsiders..."

When Gongsun Ce heard this, his face suddenly turned red and white, and he was very embarrassed.
