Chapter 63 Favoring One over the Other
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
When Zhang Ting heard this, he scoffed, isn't it just the death of a rebel, this is still a thing?
However, seeing that the rebels present were glaring at him with extremely angry eyes, Zhang Ting also realized that the situation might get out of control, and now was not the time to tear his face.
He looked at the murderous subordinates and said slowly: "Kill the rebels indiscriminately, and their crimes should be punished, and they will be whipped with a hundred horsewhips to set an example!" ”
One hundred horse whips, this punishment is not severe, and whether it is light or not, mainly depends on the mentality of the executioner.
If the executioner is beaten to death, a hundred horsewhips are enough to whip a person to death, and if the executioner deliberately waterproofs, after a hundred lashes, the tortured person can still be alive.
Zhang Ting said that the murderer was punished with a hundred horse whips, and even if everyone in the rebels was dissatisfied, they all endured it, after all, this punishment was not light.
But when the cavalry began to execute, everyone in the rebels was angry and blew up their livers and lungs, and smoked from all their orifices.
When the murderer was whipped, he didn't even take off the armor on his body, and the executioner took the whip and slowly whipped the armor behind the murderer's back, and the laughter around him was endless.
It's not about enforcing military law, it's more like playing a game.
Liu Xuan and Feng Yi stopped the angry rebels, and Feng Yi sighed meaningfully: "People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, what can I do!" ”
When the surrounding rebel brothers heard this, their eyes were red and their faces were full of grief.
This was just a small episode on the march of the two sides, but this small episode planted the seeds of anger and hatred in the hearts of the rebels. Any external cause may detonate this force that is on the verge of exploding.
The rebels and cavalry chased another twenty miles to the east, but they were still in the air, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Green Forest Army.
Looking at the traces left by the Green Forest Army, they ran north again, and Zhang Ting had to order a pursuit, but the rebels really couldn't run, and many people were lying on the ground, already exhausted to prostration, and let the cavalry's whip fall on him, he just couldn't stand up from the ground anymore.
Liu Xuan and Feng Yi found Zhang Ting again and asked to rest in place. The people who watched the righteous army were indeed not good, and Zhang Ting had no choice but to give an order, rest in place for a quarter of an hour, and then continue to rush and pursue the Green Forest Army.
In just a quarter of an hour, in the blink of an eye, the rebels, who had not relieved themselves at all, set off again and marched north.
When they pursued to the north of the county, it was already dark, and as for the Green Forest Army, it still did not appear in people's field of vision.
On this day, they basically didn't do anything else, they kept running, almost making a big circle around Zhushan County.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Zhang Ting had no choice but to order the troops to be collected and return to the county seat.
On the way back, Zhang Ting's mouth was not idle, he kept scolding, complaining that he was dragged down by the rebels.
Zhang Ting's attitude towards the rebels directly affected the attitudes of his subordinates towards the rebels. Zhang Ting was greatly dissatisfied with the rebels, which led to the attitude of his cavalry towards the rebels becoming more and more bad and unscrupulous.
When entering the county seat, Liu Xuan and Feng Yi came to Zhang Ting and proposed to change to cavalry tonight to keep vigil.
When Zhang Ting heard this, he was almost angry, your righteous army ran all day and worked very hard, didn't the brothers under his command run all day, and they didn't work hard? Zhang Ting didn't even think about it, and categorically rejected Liu Xuan and Feng Yi's request.
When Liu Xiu and Feng Yi were discussing with Zhang Ting, Liu Xiu hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Big brother, we found ...... over there" Halfway through the sentence, he looked at Zhang Ting and swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
Zhang Tingyou heard Liu Xiu's shout, raised his eyes, and saw that Liu Xiu was turning around and walking back, he shouted loudly: "Liu Xiu, you stop!" Come here! ”
Liu Xiu's steps that had already taken him slowly retracted, and then slowly walked to Zhang Ting, drooped his head, and whispered, "Lord Zhang." ”
Zhang Ting asked, "What did you say you found just now?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......," Liu Xiu said hesitantly.
Zhang Ting snorted coldly and said, "Concealing military information and not reporting it, do you know what the crime is?" ”
Liu Xiu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his head and said, "Lord Zhang, I didn't hide the military situation!" ”
"Then you say, what did you just find?" Zhang Ting stared at Liu Xiu.
"Yes...... Be...... A tavern! Liu Xiudu muttered.
Zhang Ting rolled his eyes, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. There are so many taverns in the county, what's so strange about this, as for Liu Xiu coming to his eldest brother in a hurry and shouting?
He rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked, and asked, "Liu Xiu, did you find something in the tavern?" ”
"This ......"
"Say!"
"Yes...... There is wine! Liu Xiu said with a shrunken neck.
Zhang Ting was stunned at first, then laughed out loud, and asked casually, "How many?" ”
"It's ...... Lots of wine! ”
"How much is a lot?"
"At least...... There must be at least hundreds of altars! ”
"How much?" Zhang Ting wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, there were still hundreds of jars of wine hidden in Zhushan County, how could this be?
The entire county has been emptied, and I don't know how many times it has been looted, how can there be so much wine preserved?
"Hundreds of altars!"
"You should be well aware of the consequences of lying in front of the lieutenant." Zhang Ting warned word by word.
Liu Xiu said urgently: "The villain didn't lie, what the villain said is true." ”
"Okay, you can take me to see it now!" Zhang Ting really didn't believe what Liu Xiu said.
Liu Xiu looked helpless and disappointed, and reluctantly took Zhang Ting and the others to the tavern they had made an appointment with Ma Wu and the others last night.
Under Liu Xiu's guidance, Zhang Ting led the guards into the wine cellar of the tavern. After coming in, seeing the mountains of wine jars in the wine cellar, Zhang Ting and the others were also taken aback, but they didn't expect that Liu Xiu, this kid, really didn't lie, there were really hundreds of wine jars stored here.
Zhang Ting looked surprised and asked, "How can there be so much wine here?" ”
One of the guards beside him stepped forward, grabbed a jar of wine, pierced the seal, first lowered his head and sniffed it, then took a handful of wine with his hand and poured it into his mouth. After a moment of aftertaste, his eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Tingxi with a smile: "My lord, it's good wine!" ”
Zhang Ting nodded quietly, he turned his head and asked Liu Xiu seriously, "Liu Xiu, how did you find out here?" ”
Liu Xiu cleared her throat and said, "I came here to find something to eat, but I didn't expect to find that there is a hidden wine cellar here, and there are so many unopened wines hidden in it!" ”
Old God Zhang Ting hummed on the ground, and said casually: "Now that wine is rare, you can find so many jars of wine, it can be regarded as a contribution, pick two jars and take them!" ”
Liu Xiu subconsciously looked at Liu Xuan and Feng Yi, and said cautiously: "Master Zhang, Brother Yijun......"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ting interrupted: "Of course I won't forget the part of the brother of the righteous army. As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xuan and Feng Yi and said, "When you leave, you can move the five altars!" ”
Hundreds of jars of wine were given to Liu Xiu in two jars and five altars in the righteous army, and a total of seven altars were given to them.
Liu Xuan and Feng Yi were naturally unwilling. Liu Xuan coughed dryly and said, "Lord Zhang, the brothers haven't drunk a meal of wine since they entered Yizhou to fight......
Halfway through his words, Zhang Ting said impatiently: "Haven't I already given you five altars now?" ”
But there are more than 500 people in the righteous army, what are you doing with these five jars of wine?
Zhang Ting glanced at Liu Xuan and said, "Don't forget, your rebels still have the task of patrolling the city tonight, in case you drink and make a mistake, even I can't protect you!" ”
Seeing that Liu Xuan was still going to speak, Zhang Ting waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to fight over this little thing, it hurts the harmony between each other." ”
At present, natural disasters are repeated, grain is not harvested every year, people can't eat enough, where is there any surplus grain to make wine?
Not to mention that the righteous army can't drink alcohol, even Zhang Ting and his subordinates haven't smelled the smell of wine for a long time, and now that such a big piece of fat has fallen into his hands, how can he let it out easily?
A total of seven jars of wine can be distributed to the righteous army, which is already cutting his flesh.
Out of the tavern, Zhang Ting immediately ordered his cavalry to carry all the wine in the cellar to the inn.
Tonight's Zhushan County can be described as two heavens of ice and fire.
The cavalry of the Beijing division was inside and outside the inn where Zhang Ting stayed, pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing, while the rebels were deserted and miserable, and everyone only got a share of the wine at the bottom of a bowl, to be honest, it was not enough for people to drink in one sip.
A volunteer soldier drank all the wine in the bowl, smashed the bowl in his hand, and said indignantly: "I can't live this day!" ”
The Jingshi army did not treat them as human beings at all, and scolded them when they wanted, beat them when they wanted to, and killed them when they wanted to.
If this continues, it is estimated that they will not die on the battlefield, but will have to die in the hands of the Jingshi army, even if they are not killed, they will have to be exhausted to death! The actions of this volunteer army immediately resonated with everyone around, and the people threw down the wine bowls in their hands, looked at Feng Yi in the center of the crowd in unison, and said in a gossipy voice: "Lord Feng, we followed you to join the righteous army and traveled thousands of miles to Yizhou, but we didn't come to suffer from this
Target! ”
"Yes, Lord Feng, we are not even as good as beasts in the eyes of the Jingshi Army, how can we fight this battle?"
Zhu Yun said angrily: "What? Do you regret joining the rebels? It's too late to regret it! Now if you want to go home, you will be able to escape, and if you are caught, you will die! ”
"But if we stay here, sooner or later we will die! Didn't Brother Yun see today's events? The brother who was killed, what did he do wrong? ”
Zhu Yun shrugged his shoulders and said: "Now in this world, one day is a day, as soon as your eyes are closed, no one knows if you can see tomorrow's sun!" ”
He said it lightly, but the crowd listened with sorrow, thinking about the brothers who had died in battle, and thinking about their present situation, many of the rebels could not help but crouch on the ground and cry loudly. Feng Yi's eyes widened, and he shouted: "What's the name of all ghosts crying ghosts?" ”
