Chapter 19 The ruthless Zuo Liangyu
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the fourth day of the first month, at dusk, returned to the southern suburbs of Defu.
Zuo Liangyu's army was assembled here, and they had just annihilated the rebels of Cao Wei and others in Xiayi. Cao Wei and others turned out to be thieves, and after surrendering, they obeyed Zuo Liangyu's orders, but they led a rebellion at the end of the month of Layue, slaughtered Zuo Liangyu's old camp in Xuzhou, and then fled east and went to Xiayi.
After Zuo Liangyu heard the news, he immediately organized an army to chase after him. Today, I met in Xiayi, but the process was very simple. As soon as the two sides started fighting, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu and others in the rebel army led their men to fight against the water and killed them from the inside out. In this way, the rebels of Cao Wei and others were attacked from inside and outside, and the team collapsed in an instant.
Then it was simple, Zuo Liangyu led the soldiers and horses to chase all the way, killed Ma Jincai, one of the masterminds of the rebels, and captured Yang Menzi. But the leader of the rebels, Cao Wei, and Yu Ruhu managed to escape. There is no way, these people have a group of diehards around them, and everyone has horses, chasing the dead and chasing the north when they win, and fleeing on horseback when they are defeated, so there are really not many bandit leaders caught over the years.
Zuo Liangyu sat silently on a chair, covering his body with a thick cloak to block the invasion of the cold wind. His soldiers also stood in silent formation, watching the dozen or so companions who were busy in front.
These dozen soldiers were nailing wooden stakes, and the rebels slaughtered their marshal's family, so this Yang Menzi had to be executed by Ling Chi in order to relieve the hatred in Zuo Shuai's heart!
As the clanging sound ended, a cross-shaped stake was nailed to the ground.
"Dog thief!" Yang Menzi was escorted up and tied to the cross, and he kept scolding angrily: "Zuo Liangyu! You old bastard! You don't have to die well! ”
Zuo Liangyu still sat silently on the chair, not half moved. It wasn't until Yang Menzi's hands and feet were tied that he shook his cloak and stood up.
He slowly walked in front of Yang Menzi, followed by his son Zuo Mengeng. This is also the reason why he has been able to deal with things calmly until now, he still has this eldest son, and although the other wives and concubines and young sons have been killed, it is far from making him feel hopeless.
"Zuo Kunshan! You dog thief! It's all your trap! You forced us! Let's brethren jump in! You don't have to die well! Yang Menzi saw Zuo Liangyu coming over, so he scolded more and more. This can't help but make him angry, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu, Du Yingjin, these people are all Zuo Liangyu's internal responses. If it weren't for the sudden attack of these people in the military formation, they would not have been defeated so quickly.
Zuo Liangyu came to Yang Menzi and said expressionlessly: "You are right, I forced you." ”
"You bastard!" Yang Menzi continued to scold: "What is our brother sorry for you?!" You're going to use such a poisonous trick?! ”
Zuo Liangyu turned his head and looked north. After a while, he turned around and said in a low voice: "You thieves have always been in the Central Plains, how have you ever seen the power of Jiannu?" Iron armor is a protective body, steel is made of knives, thousands of horses are galloping, and arrows are as dense as rain. Originally, we still had general cannons and general cannons in the Ming Dynasty, but now the Hongyi cannon in Jiannu is bigger than the Ming cannon, why should someone on my left take the sons and daughters to die? ”
"You scum! You are the official of the Ming Dynasty and receive the salary of the Ming Dynasty, but you do not give the Ming Dynasty loyalty! What kind of face do you have to be a general soldier?! What other face leads the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?! Yang Menzi shouted and cursed at the top of his voice, which was more than twice as loud as just now, so that all the soldiers of the Left Army could hear it.
"Hahaha," Zuo Liangyu looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly: "I Zuo Kunshan only wants to be worthy of my sons!" ”
"I am willing to die for Zuo Shuai!"
"I am willing to die for Zuo Shuai!"
……
The generals of the Left Army, who were standing in the sunset, shouted loudly in unison. They support Zuo Liangyu from the bottom of their hearts, every time they rob a place, Zuo Shuai doesn't take a penny from everything they grab, and what they grab is their own. So they only listen to Zuo Shuai's orders, even if Zuo Shuai wants to lead them to rebel, they will not hesitate to put up the anti-flag.
"Do you hear that?" Zuo Liangyu stared at Yang Menzi, who was still glaring angrily, and said, "Your sowing discord is useless. If you turn it back, you will do it, but you shouldn't have killed my family! ”
"Hahaha," this time it was Yang Menzi's turn to laugh, and he laughed enough, before he said happily: "This is your punishment!" If it weren't for your eldest son by your side, you would have been cut off from your grandchildren! Hahahaha! Last of your line! ”
Zuo Liangyu waited for Yang Menzi to laugh out of breath, and finally stopped, and then said fiercely: "So I'm going to scrape you!" Eat your meat! ”
"You dog bastard! There's a kind of you killing Lao Tzu right now! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will turn into a powerful ghost and curse your Zuo family for not having peace in the world! Yang Menzi's eyes widened in fear and roared in a pitch-shifting voice. Thousands of cuts, this kind of punishment is too terrifying, even a fierce warrior like him is instinctively afraid.
Zuo Liangyu finally smiled, it was a laugh from the heart, making his enemies feel terrified, and his goal was finally achieved. He waved lightly, then slowly returned to his handsome chair and sat down.
The subordinates came over with fishing nets, ripped off Yang Menzi's clothes, leaving only one trouser, and then tightly strangled the fishing net on Yang Menzi's body, so that the meat on his body protruded from the mesh piece by piece. After that, a strong man, carrying a large pair of pliers in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, came to Yang Menzi.
Ling Chi is a technical job, and he really can't do it without good craftsmanship. But this is not difficult for the wise, and people use fishing nets to cut out the flesh of the prisoner, and then clamp it with pliers, and then use a knife to cut off the flesh of the prisoner piece by piece.
At this time, the soldiers lit a bonfire, some set up a cauldron on the fire, some were roasting meat, and the soldiers gathered around the campfire, laughing uncontrollably, drinking soju in large bowls, waiting for their food to be cooked. These wines and meats were all sent by the squires in the city of Guide, and these things were the price for the left army not to enter the city.
In the noise of the soldiers, there are also Yang Menzi's screams, insults, and begging for death. The meat cut off by Yang Menzi would soon be thrown into a boiling cauldron to boil the broth for the soldiers of the Left Army.
"Father," Zuo Mengeng said to Zuo Liangyu in the military tent: "Do we really want to go back to Xuzhou?" I'm afraid that the court can't prevaricate, right? ”
Zuo Liangyu said lightly: "What can't be prevaricated? Report to the Ministry of War, saying that our army has just been in rebellion and has suffered a great injury, and after a little repair, it will rush to help and attack the eastern captives to repay the king. ”
The staff in a long robe hurriedly got up, bowed to Zuo Liangyu, and then immediately went to draft the document to the military department, not daring to delay for a moment.
