Chapter 344, Breaking the Siege

Farther away, Zhang Xianzhong began to gather the remnants of his defeated army, which was already a common thing for him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Xianzhong retreated quickly, the most elite more than 3,000 troops around him did not suffer losses, in terms of strength alone, the strength in his hands still exceeded the opponent, but Zhang Xianzhong knew that the number of people is one thing, and the combat effectiveness is another. And after this battle, his army did not have the courage to fight against the model army for a short time. Zhang Xianzhong sent his own soldiers out and asked them to go out to find other troops that had escaped, and it took more than a day for him to recover about 4,000 troops and find Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi who had escaped.

"Daddy, the child is incompetent, he lost the battle, and he asks his father to punish him." Sun Kewang, who fled back, knelt down and pleaded guilty as soon as he saw Zhang Xianzhong.

"After this defeat, it's your." Zhang Xianzhong scolded, "Lao Tzu has been thinking all day long, if there is another fight, Lao Tzu personally commands the fight, what kind of fight can it be." Lao Tzu finally had to admit that if he fought hard, he really couldn't beat others. To win them, you can only win them by grinding them slowly. Lao Tzu can only grind slowly to win them, and it's no wonder if you can fucking win! If you can win like this, then Lao Tzu will not become a fool? Do you think you can fight better than me? Holy shit, why are those sub-animals so hard to beat! ”

When Sun Kewang saw Zhang Xianzhong say this, he knew that although the battle was lost, Zhang Xianzhong did not blame himself. This is actually not surprising, although in the original history, in various historical books and legends, my Qing Dynasty portrayed Zhang Xianzhong as an indescribably evil and completely unreasonable monster, just like the green-robed ancestor in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan". According to them, Zhang Xianzhong is the most brutal psychopathic murderer in Chinese history, and there is no one. And Zhang Xianzhong's murder has two major characteristics: no choice and no purpose. He kills simply because he loves it.

According to them, on one occasion, Zhang Xianzhong was admiring flowers with a group of concubines in the garden, and his youngest son walked by from a distance. Zhang Xianzhong called out his son's name, but because it was too far away, his son didn't hear it. So, Zhang Xianzhong, who was originally in a good mood, immediately asked people to tie up his son and kill him. The next day, Zhang Xianzhong regretted killing his son again, so he killed all the people who were present yesterday and related to this matter, except for himself, on the grounds that they did not dissuade themselves.

In addition, there is a legend that once said that, Zhang Xianzhong had a whim and asked his generals to make some "three-inch golden lotus" over. What is a three-inch golden lotus? It is the small feet made by ancient women who bound their feet. Moreover, the three-inch golden lotus mentioned by Zhang Xianzhong does not refer to a woman with a three-inch golden lotus, but a pure "three-inch golden lotus" - that is, a woman's small feet. His generals collected women all over the city, and then cut off their little feet and gave them to Zhang Xianzhong. Soon, Zhang Xianzhong's courtyard was full of bloody "three-inch golden lotus", like a hill. Zhang Xianzhong looked at these little feet with satisfaction. Suddenly, I turned around and found that the small feet of a certain concubine were even more chic. So he asked people to cut down the golden lotus of this little concubine and pile it on the hill.

After that, he set a fire and burned all the little feet. And then all sorts of satisfactions.

There are also "heaven killing", "earth killing", "meeting killing" or something, all kinds of tricks renovated, all kinds of killing methods that only you can't think of, and there is no killing method that he can't do. portrays Zhang Xianzhong as a complete psychopath, and anyone, no matter who he is, can be killed for no reason as long as he appears in his sight.

But just think about it with your head to see how unreliable these legends are. Zhang Xianzhong's young son and wives and concubines were indeed killed by his order. However, it was not for no reason, but when he was defeated by the Manchus, and he himself was seriously injured and his life was not guaranteed. Although this kind of thing is inhumane, Zhang Xianzhong is really not the only one who has done this kind of thing in history.

As for the stranger legends that follow, they are even less worth refuting. I believe that there are indeed people in this world who do nothing but take pleasure in killing people, and have the same neurosis as the green-robed ancestor, but such a neurosis is absolutely impossible to start from scratch and become the boss of a force. The reason is very simple, Zhang Xianzhong is not a green-robed ancestor after all. The power of the green-robed ancestor comes from himself, and Zhang Xianzhong's strength comes from the system. The green robe can kill indiscriminately because he is stronger than all the people he kills indiscriminately, and he doesn't need to rely on others to kill indiscriminately. But Zhang Xianzhong does not have such overwhelming personal strength, and if he wants to kill, he must rely on the organization he has established and his subordinates who follow him. And the reason why these subordinates are willing to follow Zhang Xianzhong is because they all like to be cut down anytime and anywhere?

Indeed, Zhang Xianzhong is the leader of the robbers, and he is also a large number of robbers. And to be a good bandit leader, it is true that he may need to be more fierce than others, but this alone cannot be a bandit leader, as a bandit leader, he must be able to protect the overall interests of the entire thief team. And indiscriminately killing people, even killing one's own people for pleasure, is obviously contrary to this. Zhuangzi wrote in the "Xuan Zheng": "The disciple of the plantar asks and asks: 'Is there a way to steal?' He said, 'Why is there no way?' The hidden in the room of the husband's delusion, the saint also. Be the first, be brave. After coming out, righteousness also. I know if it's okay, Zhiya. Evenly, benevolence also. Those who can become big thieves if they are not prepared for the five are not available in the world. Not only can he not take care of his little brother, but he also kills them happy, which point is in line with the five virtues of a thief, how can he become a thief like Zhang Xianzhong? Zhang Xianzhong is either a green robe or a green robe, and he has been overshadowed by his own subordinates. Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are not good, if Zhang Xianzhong is really the legendary one, I am afraid that a hundred heads have been cut off by his subordinates.

"How dare a child compare with his father?" Sun Kewang said, "It's just that now that our army has been newly defeated, what should we do next, I still have to get an idea from my father." ”

Zhang Xianzhong listened to it and said: "What are you afraid of if you are defeated?" It's not that he hasn't been defeated, Yang Sichang was also majestic back then. As for now, what else do you have in mind? 'Thirty-six strategies are the best', that's the idea. This is like gambling, if you lose a bet, you will leave immediately, and if you lose, you will lose your wife. Well, boss, you arrange for someone to inform the second child, let him bring people, and quickly withdraw and come to Huoshan to make peace with Lao Tzu. ”

Sun Kewang nodded, and was about to go out to order, but he suddenly remembered one more thing, so he turned around and came back and asked, "Daddy, the second brother, he captured Liu Liangzuo alive, what should I do with this person now?" ”

"Now that Lao Tzu doesn't fight Tongcheng anymore, what's the use of keeping this thing? Does Lao Tzu have a lot of military rations? Zhang Xianzhong squinted his eyes and asked.

Sun Kewang hurriedly said, "The child understands. Then he turned and went out to give orders.

"Well, Boss, you wait a minute." Zhang Xianzhong said suddenly.

Sun Kewang hurriedly turned around and hugged his fists and said, "Daddy, what else do you have to tell the child?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and asked, "I seem to remember, the one surnamed Liu seems to have been snatched out of the dog's mouth bar by the second child, right?" ”

"What Daddy said is that I heard from the person sent by the second child that when the person surnamed Liu was found, he was being pressed to the ground by a group of wild dogs to eat, and I heard that several pieces of meat fell off his body, and his nose and lips were bitten off by dogs."

"It's pathetic, it's pathetic." Zhang Xianzhong shook his head, his face full of compassion. However, Sun Kewang did not interface, but mourned for Liu Liangzuo's future for about a second or two in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Xianzhong sighed and sat down and said, "Boss, do you think these dogs are too pitiful?" The second child is really not a good thing, is it easy for other dogs to find such a piece of fresh meat? After only two bites, he ran away, and he didn't eat it himself! Isn't that a waste? Well, as the saying goes, people are doing, the sky is watching, all things are born to support people, and people have nothing to report to the sky...... The second brother is doing this, that's not good, you, the eldest brother, have to teach him how to do it. ”

Sun Kewang hugged his fists and said: "The child understands, the child will let the second brother be informed, and then he will find those hungry dogs and return the piece of meat to them." Daddy, how do you think the child does this? ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's good." That's it. ”

Sun Kewang saw that Zhang Xianzhong agreed with this handling opinion, so he bowed again, and then withdrew.

……

"Handsome! Handsome! The rogues under the city dragged that Liu Shuai out again. said that if we don't surrender again, we will feed Liu Shuai to the dogs. Huang Degong had just half lay down and squinted for a while, when a personal soldier came in and reported like this.

"What." Huang Degong struggled to get up from the folding recliner, "It's been making noise, it's been making trouble, they're not bored!" Speaking of which, this folding recliner is also sold from the Zheng family's trading house, this thing is relatively lightweight, and it can be carried when marching and fighting, and it can be supported and lying down anytime and anywhere, so it is very popular with Huang Degong. In the past few days, Huang Degong has been highly nervous, and he has not taken off his armor and left the city tower for several days. When he was really tired every day, he spread his chaise longue in the castle tower and lay down on it for a while. At the same time, he also ordered that as soon as there was the slightest movement below, he would be called up immediately.

Although he complained, when Huang Degong still got up and walked outside, holding on to the railing of the city tower, he looked down and saw that those rogues had placed a big wooden cage about two hundred steps below the city, and a person could be vaguely seen in the cage.
