Chapter 42: Quelling the Rebellion

"Hey, wake up! Let the general see watch your ass. A soldier guarding the city woke up a sleeping soldier with a spear in his arms.

The soldier who was woken up rubbed his sleepy eyes and complained dissatisfiedly, "It's all this time, what can happen." ”

At the beginning of the ugly period, the people who had worked all day were asleep, and even the guards standing guard on the city wall leaned against the city wall to steal their laziness. At this time, four or five hundred people gathered in the backyard of the Hou Mansion in the city, and they were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and some even carried wooden sticks.

Looking at the house slaves and tenants gathered in the courtyard, Hou Dong felt a little helpless. Compared with the regular army, these people are not two grades worse, but there is no way, and time is pressing. Hou Dong held the sword at his waist and shouted to the people in the courtyard, "Our purpose tonight is to save Gao'er, and after the deed is completed, each person will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan." ”

When the people below heard this, they all swept away their tired faces, their eyes lit up, and they shouted excitedly, "Swear to save the son!" Swear to save Childe! ”

Hou Dong has been in business for many years, how can he not understand the truth that money can make ghosts grind, this is not a simple sentence, and everyone is ready to die. With a wave of his hand, Hou Dong led the five hundred people straight to the bad mansion, carefully avoiding the patrolling soldiers on the street along the way.

A rocket soared into the air, and shouts of killing sounded in Xuchang City one after another. This is undoubtedly bad news for the people of Xuchang, who have been peaceful for many years, and many people wake up in their dreams. The man in the family took the kitchen knife in the house, blocking in front of his wife and children, ready for the next thing.

The Xuchang grain depot was suddenly attacked by unidentified people, and the guard of the grain depot led his soldiers to support it hard, "Brothers, hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon." At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was also attacked, and Cao Pi commanded the tiger guards in the mansion to resist.

"Childe, Hou Dong led five hundred people to kill the bad mansion, and the rest of the people also took action." Nameless, who covered his face with a black scarf, knelt below Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang slapped the table and stood up, his face full of excitement, "I finally did it, I didn't wait in vain." ”

At this time, Qi Fei and his people had already handed over Hou Dong, and with the encouragement of Hou Dong's money, five hundred family slaves rushed towards the bad mansion like crazy. From time to time, some people fell under the knives of unscrupulous people, and the blood not only did not make the Hou Mansion slaves retreat, but aroused their blood.

At this moment, a rocket rose in the bad mansion, and suddenly rushed out of the street with many Cao soldiers. The door of the bad mansion also opened at this time, and Cao Shuang rushed out with Jingyang and others. Cao Shuang had a smile on his face, looking at the Cao soldiers and the Hou Mansion slaves who were fighting in the field.

"Give me all the charges, kill Cao Shuang, and the bounty will be 10,000 taels." When Hou Dong saw Cao Shuang, his eyes were red, waving the sword in his hand, and shouting hysterically.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the offensive that had been weakened suddenly strengthened after Hou Dong said this. Cao Shuang smiled slightly, and said to Jia Xu, who was belated, "It seems that this money is really a good thing." Jia Xu didn't answer, just glanced at Hou Dong coldly, "A few days ago, the Hou family wanted to propose marriage to the prime minister, but I didn't expect him to become the backbone of the rebels today." ”

Two of the most conspicuous people in the fighting crowd were one holding a double iron halberd and a beard. It's like a demon god crawling out of hell.,Ruthlessly harvesting everyone's lives.。 The other man was armed with a large knife, and his face was splattered with blood, which made people feel very cold. The two of them were surrounded by corpses, and the house slaves around the two of them did not dare to rush forward, these two were Dian Man and Xu Yi.

At a crossroads, Hou Dong and five other families gathered. There are not many of Hou Dong's men left, almost all of the remaining people are injured, and the situation of the other five families is not much different from him. The five families were driven to this intersection by the Cao army, and every street was covered with Cao soldiers, and the six families were more than 3,000 people, and at this time only four or five hundred people were surrounded by the Cao army. Hou Dong asked anxiously, "What's going on?" What about Dong Cen? ”

"I wonder what Mr. Hou is looking for me?" I saw a man on a high-headed war horse on the street to the west.

Looking at this person as Dong Cen who contacted them, Hou Dong had already understood at this time that all this was a trap. Dong Cen was pretended to be sent by Cao Shuang, that is, to lead Hou Dong and the others to rebel, so as to achieve Cao Shuang's goal of setting an example. After figuring out the joints, Hou Dong sat on the ground weakly, his eyes were full of despair, Hou Gao is finished, the Hou family is finished, everything is finished.

"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! Sergeant Cao shouted as he knocked his weapon on the ground.

The leader of the Sun family shouted, "Don't listen to them, there is still a chance to survive if you fight hard, and there is only one death if you put down your weapon." ”

Hearing only a whoosh, a feather arrow came out of the brain. The leader of the Sun family looked straight ahead and slowly fell to the ground.

"Those who don't descend will end up like this."

The lesson from the past is here, money is also known as spending, what is the use of having so much money without life. Someone lowered the weapon in his hand, and then it spread like a plague, and the sound of the weapon landing was incessant. Hou Dong raised his voice and sighed, "I, Hou Dong, am smart and confused for a while." ”

"Beat me, I can let you go." Cao Shuang came to the opposite side of Hou Dong with a sword in his hand and looked at Hou Dong very confidently.

Hou Dong bent down and slashed at Cao Shuang with his sword in advance, and the swords of the two collided together, stirring up sparks. Don't look at Cao Shuang as just a six-year-old child, the strength in his hands is not smaller than Hou Dong's. Cao Shuang pressed forward violently, Hou Dong took two steps back, and taking advantage of this gap, Cao Shuang knocked the sword in Hou Dong's hand away. Cao Shuang slammed the sword in his hand into the ground, walked up to Hou Dong, and punched him in the lower abdomen. Hou Dong sat on the ground in pain, panting heavily, after all, he was sixty years old.

"Is it worth it to take the whole family for the sake of your uncompetitive son?" Cao Shuang tugged at Hou Dong's beard under his chin and whispered in Hou Dong's ear, "Originally, my son-in-law thought that you were just looking for a relationship, and it was just a matter of pulling the skin, but I didn't expect that you would betray the prime minister when you were old and strong." ”

After speaking, Cao Shuang slapped Hou Dong hard, "Escort this person back to the bad mansion and torture him, and make sure he recruits other accomplices." The rest were sent to Xuchang Prison and awaited their release. "Hou Dong was taken back to the bad mansion by bad people like a dead dog, and what awaited him was the torture of Yicheng.

Dianman and Xu Yi led the soldiers to clean up the bloodstains on the street and bury all the corpses. At dawn, it was as if nothing had happened on the street. It wasn't until noon that the people hiding at home dared to go out, and the number of people on the streets gradually increased.
