Hearing this, the first thought of the people around them was that they felt a little unbelievable, but if they thought about it carefully, they all felt that this was very credible.

Because the sale of smuggled salt is really dishonorable, and although no one cares about it now, it is still a serious crime in the official face, even if it is an ordinary ordinary citizen, if it is not at the critical juncture, no one is willing to do this murderous act.

Many people have never heard of this kind of thing in their lives, and a general like Xing Yidao, who is leading troops outside, will willingly put this basin on his head, which seems to be true.

Who would have thought that the chief general of the Shandong Army, who is now guarding one side and the general who is a close associate of Zhongliebo, is actually from selling smuggled salt, which is really surprising and surprising.

If we talk about it alone, the origin of the torture knife is even lower than that of most people here today.

"In that case, there is really a lot to be done in the Shandong Army!"

After Su Youfang listened to the words of the torture knife, somehow, he suddenly felt that the opportunity he had been longing for in his heart was about to come.

He muttered this sentence unintentionally, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that trouble came out of his mouth, and glanced around worriedly, but it may be that the people around him were also thinking, and no one noticed him.

"Recognize people!"

Xing Yidao nodded with satisfaction, and with a move of the waist knife in his hand, many soldiers of the Shandong Army immediately escorted those who were arrested down the city wall and stood at the empty city gate.

"What, recognize people?"

This made many people confused, and at this time, they only heard Kong Luan in the city laugh a few times, and added:

"What the criminal commander means is that if there are relatives who the big guy knows, they can all be brought home after registering their names over there, but remember that if this kind of demagogic thing happens again, it will not be spared!"

Originally, Kong Luan was the local leader of Guide Mansion, and these people should hate him, but after hearing him say this, many people were overjoyed and grateful to him.

"Thank you, little ones, thank you!"

"Don't dare, don't dare anymore!"

Those who had long been anxious spontaneously knelt down, and after being frightened at first, and then experiencing this unexpected surprise, no one had the hatred that they had at the beginning.

Although these Shandong soldiers are now standing there motionless, the kind of power is more powerful than ordinary officers and soldiers of the guard holding swords and guns in front of them.

Everyone understands a truth in their hearts, these soldiers of the Shandong Army, don't look at the weekdays and never bully them, but if they are really ruthless, they are all eating people and not spitting out bones, and it is a great blessing to be able to pick up a life in this kind of thing today, so don't ask for trouble again.

As for the pieces of paper that "meet the king and do not pay for food", they have already been trampled on the soles of their feet.

There were many people who were arrested, hundreds of them, but when those who had families and families were brought back by their relatives, there were less than 50 people left.

It was only now at this time that these self-righteous spies and ruffians finally panicked, and some even kept begging the people who came to find their families, wanting them to take them away together.

But at this time, many people are still in shock in their hearts, even those who have calmed down, they don't dare to make a mistake step by step, how dare they take these guys who don't look like good people home.

Kong Luan also said just now, if there is a next time, it will not be so simple to end, and if it is found out at that time, isn't it asking for trouble.

"Woo woo woo ......"

When many people see their children or other relatives again, they immediately embrace each other and feel pain, and this kind of pain of separation is really not something ordinary people can bear.

After the pain, those who were brought back thought that they were dead, and some of them were so frightened that they peed their pants, and when they came back, they felt that they had walked before the ghost gate was closed, and often knelt down again, crying that they would never dare again.

Looking at the people kneeling in the city, Xing Yidao slowly stared at the dozens of people who were still in the center, and shouted:

"Someone, beheaded!"

"Obey!"

The soldiers of the Shandong army who had been waiting around for a long time came forward with knives and guns, and they would not have any left, if there were still people and dogs jumping over the wall, trying to escape and make trouble, they would not need to be tortured and ordered again, and these soldiers would naturally kill them on the spot.

After a few screams, these last young people were finally escorted to the city tower with great reluctance, and a row of strong men in red armor armed with large knives had been waiting for a long time.

The shiny broadsword was sprayed with wine, and the next moment, a row of heads "gurgled" and rolled down.

Tuocheng, which was originally stormy, finally gradually calmed down under the decisive treatment of both soft and hard punishment.

When Wang Zheng, who was still traveling in Denglai and Denglai with his soldiers, received this report, although he was relieved a lot, he still didn't dare to slow down a little.

Under Wang Zheng's order, the soldiers of the 12th battalion of the Shandong Army were still marching to Guide Mansion with all their might.

......

Since then, the Chuang army camp in Machangji has never received any information from Tuocheng.

At first, Niu Jinxing didn't care, but after about five days, he finally felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly found Song Xiance overnight to discuss.

Early in the morning of the second day, the two persuaded Li Zicheng to give up looking for Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who had escaped, and concentrate on dealing with the Shandong army soldiers and horses in Suizhou and Tuocheng.

Liu Zongmin, a general who was ashamed of Hao Shaoqi's defeat to the Shandong army several times, immediately came out in front of everyone to ask for battle, saying that he was willing to be a pioneer and take Tuocheng for King Chuang.

At this time, Li Zicheng was still vacillating about whether to divide the troops, and the Shandong army was divided into three ways to reinforce the Defu, although it was very likely to be a bluff, but no one wanted to be attacked when the fierce battle was in full swing.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng brainstormed, and finally decided to take the advice of the military advisor Niu Jinxing to meet the Shandong Army in three ways, in fact, with the current strength of the Chuang Army, even if the soldiers are divided into three ways, any one of them has a huge advantage.

First of all, Li Zicheng sent Liu Zongmin, a former army general, as the vanguard, to lead 100,000 troops to conquer Tuocheng within three days, and then go north to join forces and enter Shandong.

Secondly, the Shandong army under Shao Yong's command in Suizhou and Ningling was weak, with only three battalions of troops, but in order to prevent it from reinforcing the city and disrupting the siege, Li Zicheng ordered Gao Yi to break into the army of 50,000 to be responsible for blocking the attack, only defending but not attacking.

Again and again, "a tiger" Li Guo led the old battalion horse team of 5,000 to open the road, only to detect but not attack, the king of the invasion Li Zicheng personally led the old battalion 8,000 to suppress the Chinese army, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Hao Shaoqi and other generals each led the main force of the army more than 200,000, to meet the Shandong army commander Deng Heizi led the seven battalion soldiers.

The small Guide Mansion, due to the intransigence of the Chuang Army and the Shandong Army, had a strong smell of gunpowder, and suddenly became a frontline area of war and wolf smoke.

When the news came out, not only the local heroes of Guide Mansion were terrified, but even Henan, Huguang, and Nanbei Zhili were all concerned.

From the point of view of military strength alone, one side is the invasion army that coerces the hungry people, known as one million, and the other side is the Shandong army, which has a total of less than 100,000 soldiers and does not have a single soldier, and even the loyal and martyred Bowang Zheng is not in Guide Mansion.

The two sides are one weak and one strong, and the contrast in strength is quite huge, and everyone feels that this so-called "Mingwei Army" has come to an end.
