Chapter 208: Chopped

But if you come forward to argue and quarrel, it is also a crime of disrespecting the order, and in the end it is also pressed to the ground, and the knife falls, and the killing is in the end, the recruits are afraid, and the habits that were developed when they were doing the green forest and ringing horses in the past are put at this time, but it is a capital crime, and the person who stuffed gold and silver in his waist and arms hurriedly threw it on the ground, trembling and following his superiors to search room by room.

In this inner house, the only battle that broke out was in Liu Zeqing's house, and there were some personal soldiers in it, these people were Liu Zeqing's diehards, but few people couldn't resist it, and the outside team had surrendered, so what strength did they resist. Not to mention the hard spirit, after a little torture, I knew that Liu Zeqing ran away from the tunnel with dozens of personal soldiers and concubines, and I didn't know where the exit was open.

Li Meng didn't go in to search, he just stood in the front yard, listening to the reports of the soldiers shuttling back and forth, after attacking the inner city, the Jiaozhou battalion also sacrificed more than 100 people, not including the almost 200 heads in front of him, these are all recruits who did not abide by military discipline and were beheaded.

"It's not far away, there is water under Heze City, and it is impossible to dig too deep in the tunnel, find someone to check along the tunnel, and send cavalry to chase it."

After hearing the report, Li Meng gave a simple order, and the maids and family members in the courtyard were being watched from everywhere, kneeling on the other side, looking at the pile of heads in the field, many people were so frightened that they couldn't even kneel, and they collapsed there directly.

Military discipline is strict, these four words are a joke many times, but those bold former bandits Xiangma, at this time, they all feel that their necks are cold, come to this Jiaozhou camp, eat and drink enough food and pay ten percent This is a benefit, but the example of not obeying orders is also in front of them, and everyone has been awe-inspiring since then.

"My lord, rough statistics everywhere, Liu Bu was captured 2,000, our army beheaded 1,000, my lord Huwei."

A personal soldier who counted the results of the battle was very excited to come over and report that with such a small price and such a big result, as a member of the Jiaozhou battalion, he was naturally extremely happy. Li Meng stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of this personal soldier, but he was not too excited, the effect of this rush should have been achieved, at least it was actual combat training, although Liu Bu's incompetence was somewhat unexpected to him, but Li Meng has also figured it out now, if he trains like this, if he can't beat this kind of army leader who raises soldiers like sheep, it is really strange.

The soldier who reported the results of the battle had not gone too far, and another soldier had already hurried over to report the news, and when he entered the door, his voice was already an octave higher, and he shouted loudly:

"My lord, I've caught Liu Thief!"

The exit of this tunnel is open in a house outside the inner city, although the secret passage is secret, but there are still people who know, just looked at the heads in the field, for fear that this "thief" will cut off his head, and hurriedly told his secret to beg for mercy, Liu Zeqing is vicious, if he knows that someone knows the secret of the secret passage, he will definitely kill his mouth, then the next person naturally understands, so he has been silent, who would have thought that he would say it at this time.

Wang Hai carried the axe that was still dripping blood, and also walked to the front yard, and said:

"My lord, all the gold, silver and copper coins have been poured out, all the corners of the house have been searched, and all the people have gathered in the front yard."

Li Meng nodded, opened his mouth and ordered:

"Only the guards were left in the courtyard, and Tang Er led the cavalry to escort the prisoners out of the city and bring Liu Zeqing over."

Although there are gold and silver beauties in the courtyard, the recruits no longer dare to have any grievances, under the orders of military academies at all levels, they lined up and walked out of the house, and no one even turned their heads to look at the gold, silver and copper coins on the side of the road.

The Li Meng guards who stayed in the courtyard were all real elite soldiers, although there were two hundred and seventy people, but their might was better than Fang Cai.

"A total of three thousand taels of gold, fifteen thousand taels of silver, and copper coins cannot be counted, so they should be around twenty thousand yuan."

The guards checked it quickly, these gold and silver were not marked, and they could be transported directly by horses and vehicles, which was also the spoils of this war, Li Meng calculated, that is, it could offset the cost of this time. As for the people kneeling there, there are really some beautiful women, when Liu Zeqing escaped, he only took away the two most favored women, and the rest were left in this mansion, but these are of no use to Li Meng.

At this time, more than 100 cavalrymen escorted Liu Zeqing and his cronies, a total of more than 20 people, to the courtyard.

Li Meng was wearing heavy armor, but he still stood there straight, looking at Liu Zeqing who was thrown there and the cronies around him, the two sides calculated with each other, and fought openly and secretly for so long, it was the first time to meet face-to-face, to say that this Caozhou general soldier looked more temperamental than Li Meng in this era, such as a full beard, a face full of meat, etc., Li Meng's often shaving his face and beard is really different.

But now one person is standing, and the other person is rolling on the ground, Liu Zeqing's eyes are constantly changing, struggling to see what Li Meng looks like in front of him, but he is tied up like a zongzi, and he can't raise his head at all, Li Meng ignored the two crying concubines beside him, walked up to Liu Zeqing, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Liu, I've been looking up for a long time."

Liu Zeqing heard the other party's polite salutation, and his whole body was trapped in an ice cellar, he knew in his heart that the other party raided Caozhou and broke the inner city, just to do things absolutely and die to the end, he really wanted to grasp the last straw, and couldn't help but say in his throat:

"Uncle, grandfather, the little one didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he offended his grandfather, and the little one had a lot of gold and silver, and along with these women, they were willing to give it to their grandfather."

The general soldier of one side, the general sitting in Lunan, suddenly became so lowly, and he did not have the slightest military backbone, just like a ruffian on the street, the temperament of the main general is often the same as that of his subordinate army, Liu Zeqing is so obscene, his military performance is understandable.

Li Meng looked at the performance of the people below like this, stunned, and couldn't help laughing, thinking that the history he had studied had not talked about this person, I don't know how Liu Zeqing behaved in Pingchuang thief and anti-Nuzhen, now looking at this appearance, he is just a waste, such a person, when he entrusts others to investigate, he is still called a fierce general, indeed, to be the general of a party, there should always be some ability, right?

Of course, Li Meng didn't know that Liu Zeqing in real history was a great warlord in the late Ming Dynasty and one of the four towns in Jiangbei, but his combat record and ability were even more unbearable than now.

Someone came in to report that the remnants of the enemy in various parts of the city had almost been wiped out, and that when the victory or defeat was completely clear, those big gentry in the city naturally knew that they should stand on that side, and under the "suggestion" of Li Mengbu, they gathered Ding Zhuang in the family.

Liu Zeqing below has been twisting his body, desperately saying how much gold and silver he is willing to take in exchange, but he also gritted his teeth and did not mention the place of storage, it seems that he is ready to exchange it for his life.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion carried the gold and silver in the courtyard into the car, and they were almost all cleaned up, Li Meng lifted the Pu knife, opened his mouth and asked with a smile:

"How could Mr. Liu, a smart person, think that he would buy a life with gold and silver today?"

When Liu Zeqing heard this, he hadn't yet cursed about death, the Pu knife in Li Meng's hand had already been chopped down, with a "poof", his body was separated, his head was rolled to the side, and the blood was splashed far away, and many of the kneeling people over there were splashed with blood, and they screamed in fear.

Seeing Liu Zeqing killed, those people felt that they were also certain to die, and they didn't even care about begging for mercy, some people cried with their throats, and some young women fainted directly.

"Those who ran with Liu Zeqing were all cut down, these subordinates don't have to pay attention to them, and the copper coins are left for them."

Li Meng wiped the Pu knife in his hand on Liu Zeqing's clothes a few times, spit on the ground, and planned to attack for so long, and now he achieved his goal and cut off the head of the enemy, but he felt a little bored, and when he still brandished the Pu knife and fought with those soldiers in the inner city, his blood was boiling.

This may be the so-called brave blood, thirsty for battle......

When Li Meng got on the horse and was about to leave, the screams and cries for mercy in the courtyard completely stopped, and now it was the shouting and scolding, those subordinates were desperately fighting for those copper coins, as well as the remaining belongings in the courtyard, Li Meng just took away the easiest gold and silver to carry, and there were really a lot of things left, and without the owner, these subordinates were naturally extremely red-eyed, who could care about their master being cut off his head, and the yard was full of blood. The heads and corpses of the recruits who had violated military discipline were piled together, covered with firewood and grass, poured with oil, and burned.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was already in the west, from the morning rush to the rush into the inner city street battle, that is, about three hours, Li Meng simply ordered a few words, urging the horses to leave.

Walking across the suspension bridge in the inner city, I saw many people kneeling respectfully on both sides outside, the people at the front knew it, it was the few Caozhou squires who were cautious outside the city, presumably the other kneeling people were of similar identities, Li Meng rode on a horse, looking at the gentry below, Li Meng did not have the attitude of a polite corporal......

Li Meng is already quite conscious of a high-ranking person at the moment.
