Northeast of Jingzhou, Gyeongju.

Tongchuan, Yima Pass.

Xue Rengao, the Qin Emperor who succeeded to the throne as emperor in Jingzhou, once again waved his troops eastward, this time he did not directly kill Chang'an, but first killed Qingzhou. Because there was an official in Gyeongju who wrote an article to scold him, he was extremely literary and scolded very badly.

The angry young Qin Emperor Xue Rengao vowed to meet him in person.

The one who wrote an article to scold Xue Rengao is called Lu Li, and he is the Taishou of Gyeongju.

This person is not an ordinary person, but an authentic genius after the famous scholars at this time, and the article is first-class. It's a pity that his ability to defend the city and fight is a layman, Xue Rengao attacked the post horse pass, and broke through the pass in only three days, and then he captured Lu Lisheng who came to supervise the battle.

After meeting, Xue Rengao found that this man was very handsome and had a very good temperament.

originally wanted to kill him, but at this time, the Yellow Gate servant Lang Yuliang came out to persuade him, saying that this Lang Taishou was a famous talent in the world, and a famous family, if His Majesty killed him, wouldn't it make the world's corporal cold, how to recruit talents in the future, it is better to persuade him to surrender.

Zhen Liang is the same as this Lu Li, he is also a great talent, his talent is so high that even the Sui Emperor Yang Guang, who has always been talented, is jealous, so he accused him of being implicated with Yang Xuangan, and demoted him who was originally a bachelor of the East Palace to the Sihu of Xihai County, and Xue Ju rebelled, and he could only accompany him.

"Okay, that's what Mr. said."

Xue Rengao is very young, but he still believes in this old man Chu for Yu Liang, so he asked Lu Li to come in, personally untie him, and persuade him with good words.

"Mr. Lu, it's better for you to surrender to my Xue family, and I promise to grant you a high-ranking official."

Xue Rengao was young after all, and he wanted to recruit Lu Li, but he didn't grasp the square inch well and didn't pay attention to his words. If you want to surrender him, you have to look at the thatched house, make a sufficient gesture to give enough face, how can you do it if you want to surrender like this.

Lu Li also put on a high-minded appearance, not only did he not appreciate it, but he scolded, "Shameless rebels and thieves, kill if you want to, why are you talking all this nonsense?" ”

Of course, Lu Li is not a loyal minister, he is just for face.

This can be regarded as a kind of routine, you persuade you to surrender, I will scold you a few words, and then go back and forth, and finally I am sincerely moved by you, and I have to be attached, and everyone is happy.

He forgot that Xue Rengao was not Xue Ju, when Xue raised the army, he was relatively patient, so Xue Liang also scolded Xue Ju at that time, but Xue Ju let Xue Liang spray his face, and finally greeted him with a smile, giving him enough face.

But now Xue Rengao, the new Qin Emperor, is still very young.

At first, he endured.

But the more he scolded, the more powerful he became.

At this time, Xue Rengao finally became angry.

What did the Xue family do before?

The Xue family used to be the richest man in the northwest, and Xue Ju's father used to be a big businessman with a huge fortune, so Xue Ju was a rich second generation since he was a child, and the money couldn't be spent at all, so it was best for him to make friends.

Later, Xue Ju's father saw his son grow up, so he spent money and used his connections to find a military position for Xue Ju. After all, in this era, the military position is a very good way.

Xue Ju was rich, generous, and easy to make friends, so in the northwest, he soon became a lieutenant. When the world is in turmoil, they simply raise troops.

With the Xue family's money and Xue Ju's connections, he quickly opened up the situation in Longyou.

It's a pity that Xue Ju died early.

And Xue Rengao is a rich third generation.

Compared with Xue Ju, this Xue Rengao has higher force and is brave, but his temper is not very good, he is more conceited, and even a little perverse, after all, Xue Ju has been polished before he entered the military government. As for Xue Rengao, he has been a little bully since he was a child, and no one has ever disobeyed him.

Lu Li is still not interested, and he is still scolding.

Xue Rengao is already impatient here, damn it, it's really embarrassing.

His face grew darker and darker.

"Fetch a wooden frame."

The wooden frame is erected.

Xue Rengao's face was ugly, and he waved his hand, "Please go up Mr. Lu." ”

At this time, Lu Li realized that something was not quite right, because Xue Rengao not only tied him to the wooden frame, but also had people start a fire underneath.

Is this to burn him?

His lips trembled.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't let it go, and he had a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that Xue Rengao was trying to scare him.

"Ignition!"

Watch the flames go up.

Lu Li finally begged loudly for mercy.

But Xue Rengao's temper has come up, and it's too late for you to beg for mercy.

Yu Liang persuaded the side, but it didn't work for anyone.

"Isn't Mr. Lu resolute not to surrender, very good, I will fulfill him."

The flames rose up, and Lu Li finally screamed and wailed in the fire.

But Xue Rengao didn't care about this, he just stood there and watched the flames devour his standing, listening to his screams, he felt extremely happy, it was as cool as drinking ice water on a June day.

Lu Li was silent.

The firelight wafted the smell of meat.

"Don't scorch, control the heat!" Xue Rengao actually said to his subordinates like this.

Those Qin soldiers did have a hand, and sure enough, they began to control the fire, and after a while, they were roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fragrance was bursting.

Xue Rengao stepped forward, took out a short knife and cut off a piece of meat from his thigh, and directly put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"The fire is a little bigger, and the outside is scorched."

Chu Liang only felt his stomach churning and vomited all of a sudden.

"Chu Xiang, you can also taste it, it's actually pretty good."

Chu Liang squatted aside, spitting up.

"Let's eat together while it's hot."

Xue Rengao began to greet the other subordinates present, so everyone stepped forward, first cutting meat from the thighs, then the abdomen, then the arms, and finally even the heads were eaten.

Chu Liang almost vomited out his bitter gall, he had never seen such a perverted person.

And those Qin army officials and generals, many of them were also forced by the emperor's obscenity, so they could only endure to swallow the meat.

In the end, Lu Li, a famous talent in the world, only had a skeleton left.

After eating the ring, Xue Rengao gave a gloomy order, since the people of Gyeongju are so ignorant, then don't be polite, and confiscate all the official Haoqiang in Gyeongju and take it out.

At the same time, Xue Rengao also ordered to carve out territory in Gyeongju and share the rewards of the Longyou Qiang tribes that belonged to him, so that they could be resettled from the barren mountains of Longyou to the fertile land of Gyeongju.

The order was issued.

Few of the officials in Gyeongju are willing, after all, no one's industry is blown by the wind.

For these uncooperative Gyeongju officials and heroes, Xue Rengao is not polite, he even ate Taishou Luli, will he let them go?

So Xue Rengao ordered to arrest all the officials and rich people in the city, and set up a long row of shelves in the open space outside the city.

This time, instead of roasting people, he hung them all upside down on the shelf, and then poured vinegar into their noses.

People hang upside down and pour vinegar into their noses, which is almost like pouring vinegar into their brains, and they are still filled with vinegar.

This taste is as sour and refreshing as it is.

At this moment, no one can stand up, it's even more ruthless than killing the head, after all, killing the head is not enough, and it will be over with one knife. But this vinegar is better than death.

Soon, one by one, they all compromised and relented.

Gyeongju Castle.

Chu Liang, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was still retching, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted and churning when he thought of his former friend Lu Li, being burned alive in front of him, and then being cut off by a knife and eaten by others.

"Xue Rengao's brutality is unmatched, so harsh and cruel, and unkind to others, he will eventually be defeated."

Chu Liang's son Chu Suiliang said to his father, "Father, let's make plans early." ”

"Don't I know that when you look for an opportunity to escape from this demon king?"

"If you leave, will you still be Luo Cheng if you vote for Li Yuan?"

Chu Liang said disgustedly, "We are now in Guanzhong, except for being able to vote for Li Yuan, I don't have a chance to vote for Luo Cheng." ”

After the capture of Gyeongju, Xue Rengao accepted Hao Ming's suggestion, this Hao Ying was the commander of Jincheng County, was held hostage by Xue Ju's father and son, and was held with a knife around his neck, so he was later attached, and now it is Xue Rengao's Zhongshu Order.

He advised Xue Rengao not to fight further north, because to the north was Shuofang of Liang Shidu and Monan of Yundingxing.

"Now our primary target is Li Yuan in Chang'an, as long as we can defeat Li Yuan, we can occupy Chang'an, and then the entire Guanlong will determine the overall situation."

"Northern Union Liang Division, and then bribe the Turks, do things together, and force Chang'an!"
