Chapter 733: Tiger Wolf!
PS: Chapter 2, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
In mid-April, after learning that Cao Guo had changed and cut off the only way for the Song army to go north, Zhao Wuxian was afraid that there would be danger behind the lone army, so he had to change his plan and eliminate his worries first. He sent Yang Hu to attack and led a division of people to cooperate with the Song army to solve the Cao State.
"Yang Tiger is as good as its name, and so is the Tiger Wolf!"
This is Yang Yin's secret evaluation of Yang Hu, Yang Hu was often the commander of the three armies as early as the Lu State, and was known for his ferocity and ruthlessness in his use of soldiers, although he was reused by the Zhao family after changing his name in Jin, he followed Zhao's father and son as a strategist most of the time, and rarely had the opportunity to lead the troops alone.
This carnivore was very smart, and knew that the reason why he didn't bring many soldiers this time, and most of them were newly recruited soldiers from Hanoi, was because Zhao Wuxian was still jealous of him. In addition to training Cao Guo, why is it not a test for him? Therefore, this mission must be done beautifully, and we must not miss the opportunity to win the trust of Zhao Wuxian.
Cao Bo's stronghold on the north bank of Pushui Taoyi was easily conquered in two days, and then Yanghu crossed Pushui in the south, and drove into Cao with a group of recruits and eggs, and went straight to Taoqiu.
In addition to the ferocity of the attack, the Yang Hu commander was also extremely brutal, he believed that since ancient times, those who have made good use of soldiers are those who can kill half of the soldiers during training and combat, followed by three-tenths of the soldiers, and the next is the one-tenth of the soldiers. Those who can kill half of it, Weigahaine; Whoever kills the thirteenth of them, he will add the princes; Kill the eleventh of them, and order the soldiers!
In his opinion, Zhao Wuxian paid great attention to the casualty rate of training and combat, although he won the love of the soldiers, but if it was just like this, at most he would be able to increase the princes...... If you want to Weijia Hainai, you have to be ruthless.
Therefore, Yang Hu practiced what he preached, and immediately after commanding the troops, he gave the soldiers a dismount and cut off dozens of heads at one time. Silence the generals. After breaking the Taoyi, he also looted the rich and wealthy chiefs, together with the grain of the local treasury, and waited for the army to pass by to eat.
When he attacked Zheng Guo that year, he used a similar method to plague Kuangdi, so that a few years later, Confucius, who was similar to him, passed by and was trapped by Kuangren. Almost died......
Yang Hu knew that what he did was hated, and he would be severely remembered by the historian in the slip. But if you want to do great things, how can you always be so kind to a woman? Although Zhao Wuxian didn't say it directly, wasn't it clear what he was trying to do? is to let Yang Hu play his previous style to be a bad guy, scare Cao Ren's courage, and then wait for the Zhao clan's bureaucrats to take over, so that Huairen can be appeased and Cao Ren return to his heart......
So next, Yang Hu continued to slightly Cao Guo Siye. Burning their fields and plundering their grain. The captured Cao people, regardless of men, women, and children, were all brought in the army, and they planned to press up to fill the ravine after arriving at Taoqiu, and the Song army was also about to arrive, so they could pounce on Taoqiu in ten days at most.
Looking back at the densely packed, ragged, but gloomy gaze at him and his mount, Yang Hu was unmoved.
"For the monarch, false benevolence and righteousness, fame and popularity. Naturally, there have to be eagles and dogs who let go and do evil things. "He planned to have all his recruits dyed red after he captured the potterhill. Strengthened their courage, and by the way, they also shocked the Cao people, so that they would never forget this scarlet night for ten years.
"Taoqiu is rich, the market is full of night, the extravagant place is full of beautiful women, and the money and silk are piled up. After breaking Cao, you can plunder for three days. However, the treasures of the treasury will be used as the general's military expenses, and the military salaries and rewards will be given to the soldiers, and no one shall act rashly! ”
After receiving this promise, everyone cheered, except for the prison guards, who looked embarrassed. This is not quite in line with the military regulations of the military guards.
Seeing that the five acropolis on the periphery of Taoqiu were in sight, the battle was about to begin, but at this moment, a scout rider reported that Taoqiu had suddenly become chaotic for some reason, and people kept running out of the city.
"Duanmu Ci ......" Yang Hu frowned, and Zhao Wuxian said casually at that time, not holding out much hope, didn't he bring the size of the soldiers, and Zigong, who was the grain of the Shengdou, really did something big in Taoqiu?
He accelerated the advance of the whole army, and when he reached the northern outskirts of Taoqiu, he was impartial and captured a convoy that had fled in a hurry.
Outside the car, the resisting armored guards were shot to death by the crossbow in the front row, and the pale-faced beardless man was hit by an arrow, and let out a scream and wail like a woman. In the curtain of the carriage wearing silk clothes and broken axles, the women in palace clothes with beautiful faces hugged each other and shivered.
And the owner of this convoy, a sturdy man, carrying a bow and arrows, and a noble man in a hunting suit, stood in double strands, holding the chariot and chariot, and watched the Yang Tiger beat the horse towards him.
Yang Hu glanced at the golden seal found by the soldiers, and he knew the identity of this group of people, and he did not dismount, but rudely sneered at the embarrassed male master: "Cao Jun, where are you going to hunt?" ”
……
Cao Yang's dream of "seeking hegemony" can be regarded as waking up now, and he has completely woken up.
When he learned the bad news, he went out of the palace to take a look, only to see the gate of the inner city open, and there were surging mobs in all directions, shouting to kill Gongsun Jiang.
"This is a rebellion, this is a great rebellion!" Cao Boyang was trembling with anger at that time, and immediately ordered the soldiers to kill him. Although the mob seemed to be nearly 10,000 people, it only took a thousand soldiers outside the Cao Palace to shoot with strong bows and then charge with spears, and the mob would scatter.
Just like the elk and yellow sheep he often hunts, the monarch Shiqing is like a tiger wolf with sharp teeth and claws. Only tigers and wolves eat deer and sheep, drink their blood and suck their marrow! In Cao Bo's opinion, this is a natural thing!
But embarrassingly, Cao Bo found that he was commanding the soldiers who could not be recruited. They are from the country, and the people are opposed, and the soldiers naturally refuse to fight each other......
"These Chinese people are our Kunfu brothers......"
Squad after squad of newly recruited soldiers cheered and threw down the barriers, hugging and cheering with the mob, so that beyond the walls of the palace were all lost without much bloodshed. Cao Bo only had a few hundred palace guards left, relying on good order and strong bows to guard the low palace walls.
Cao Bo panicked now, it was really a horse that lost its front hooves, hunting all day long, but today, the deer and sheep grew horns and united together to fly the tiger and wolf. He could only change the fierce face, hastily let people shout, and pretended to innocently ask the people why they rioted.
His words were drowned in a commotion, and the thunder of anger, fear, and hatred rolled in from all directions, engulfing the huge Cao Palace, which was the long-suppressed anger of the people.
The invective was also mixed with some shouts: "Kill Gongsun Jiang to be angry with the people!" ”
"Put an end to heavy and heavy labor. End the harshness! ”
There was a crowd of people outside the palace, and there was a force behind them that was manipulating, so they still maintained a certain order and knew what they wanted today.
"Make peace with the Zhao clan and the Song State and end the war!"
"Let our Kunfu brothers, who enlisted in the army to fill the ravine, come home!"
The Chinese people asked for a lot of miscellaneous things, and Cao Boyang hurriedly agreed. As long as he can calm down the ****, he is willing to do anything, and it is not too late to settle accounts with these traitors when the situation stabilizes.
Until a soap-clothed merchant Jia slowly separated the crowd and walked over, bowed to the palace wall, and said something that made Cao Yang's heart cold: "Cao Guo is a country of people, not a country of only husband and one person, it is too late to turn back at this moment, I dare to ask Cao Jun to sin himself and abdicate!" ”
……
"Zigong ......"
Cao Bo knew this person. It was Duanmu Ci who he refused to meet, and the reason why he didn't dare to see it was because this person spoke well, and he was afraid that he would be moved by him. Who expected that Zigong would not be able to meet and lobby face-to-face, so he changed his way, this time not to seek persuasion, but to subvert his rule......
Duanmuci was clearly the instigator of the riot, and his demands woke everyone up. Then a louder cry sounded: "Yes, please abdicate the throne." ”
The emotions of the people outside were ignited again. They crowded against the palace walls, and the guards struggled to hold the line, but bows, stones, dung, and all sorts of filth whizzed overhead.
Uncle Cao was hit by a rotten egg, sat on the ground, and cried bitterly. The fire was so fierce that he was completely out of control. Fortunately, at this time, Gongsun Jiang had already prepared a carriage and asked Cao Boyang to flee to the suburbs from the north of the palace wall.
Leaving behind most of the people, and taking their favorite ladies and sons with them, the convoy opened the north gate of Cao Palace, intending to leave from the ferry by the Pushui River. Several large ships are parked here all year round.
In the end, it was the hunting team he had always trusted the most, but there were also rioting Chinese people outside. At the front of the queue, Gongsun Jiang shouted and gave orders, and the riders of the hunting team immediately raised their spears and rushed forward, and the crowd dispersed in front.
But the red-eyed nationals rushed over after the striker rushed and stopped the car from leaving. To their left, the three guards were overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and then the crowd trampled on their bodies and roared.
Cao Bo anxiously drove in circles, and countless hands crossed the guard's defense line and grabbed him. One hand even succeeded in grabbing the chariot, but only for a split second, his right hand rose and fell, and the other hand snapped at the wrist.
As he was galloping his horse, a bumpy stone flew past his scalp from behind, and a rotten vegetable smashed into the car body, scattering and splashing, and the rotten eggs left on Cao Bo's body became a dish.
People were constantly left behind, and they were thrown to the ground by the countrymen, and even the carriage of one of Cao Bo's concubines was intercepted by the mob, and a group of screaming men climbed into the carriage and dragged her out, and then she was annihilated by the crowd, and only the poignant plea for help could be heard.
Cao Boyang didn't dare to think about her fate, but he just galloped under the striker's left and right chops, even if someone stumbled in front of him, he gritted his teeth and ran over directly.
Suddenly, there were fewer people around, and they rushed to the docks, the crazy city had been left behind, and Cao Yang looked back with trepidation, and the latter's mount was still following, but the master was nowhere to be seen.
"Let's go, let's go!"
After letting the car and horses get on the boat, watching the mob that came one after another standing in front of the green river and stopping, Cao Bo felt at ease for the first time today.
However, Taoqiu was completely fallen, not under the iron heel of the enemy, but was conquered by the countrymen from the inside.
When landing on the north bank of Pushui and hurriedly fleeing north, Cao Bo glanced back at Taoqiu again, reluctant to give up. He had a premonition that he might never come back, just like King Zhou Li, who fled to the land in a hurry during the riot of the Zong Zhou people, and finally died there.
They fled, intending to flee to the northernmost acropolis, which was garrisoned by a son of the public office, the only person Cao Bo could trust now. But the carriage carrying the ladies in the middle of the road broke its axle. At this time, it was already three poles in the sun, the weather was very hot, and when he was anxiously rushing to repair, he was captured by another army that suddenly killed......
……
"Good Duanmu ......" After listening to Cao Boyang's confession, Yang Hu clenched his horsewhip, it seems that he can't get Cao's credit this time.
But at least the credit for capturing Cao Bo is better than nothing, right......
His gloomy eyes stared at Uncle Cao, and he asked sharply, "What about Gongsun Jiang?" ”
"Dead ......" Cao Yang's face was like ashes, this down-and-out monarch who was purely his own death could not regret it, he covered his face with trembling hands and said: "Lone saw him being dragged off the saddle by countless hands, and then ......"
He seemed to see that Gongsun Jiang let out a miserable scream after falling off his horse, and thousands of pieces of clothing spun and flew like red leaves in a storm, and they disappeared in an instant. Then the screams grew thinner, splattering with sticky blood and mutilated pieces of flesh......
……
At the same time, the madness has faded, order is being restored in the city of Taoqiu, the people are dispersed, and the people who take advantage of the chaos to loot and rape are brought to justice. Taoqiu has been decided, and Zigong no longer needs to riot now, but to quell the chaos.
After Shi Qi and Tao Ang took the order, he ran a silk cloth along his mouth and nose, frowning and staring at the unrecognizable body of limbs
It was Gongsun Jiang who fell from the horse, and the Cao people devoured this Orion-born ruling secretary of Cao State alive with great hatred!
Zigong heard eyewitnesses describe that Gongsun Jiang was screaming and begging for mercy from Haotian God, and at the same time was torn to pieces by the countrymen. After his death, the people of the country still wanted to knock out the bones and suck the marrow, just like the two faint kings and evil ministers did to them......
He had a trace of palpitations and regret, although this riot expelled Cao Bo and could completely end the change in Cao Guo, but it caused a lot of bloodshed and tragedy, and the evil of human nature will undoubtedly be exposed under the chaos of order.
There was an extra hand on his shoulder, it was Ji Ran, he slowly walked to Zigong's side, stared at the terrible wreckage on the ground, and comforted: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, killing one person and saving a country, then kill it, don't think too much." ”
Zigong nodded silently, and Ji Ran, the mastermind behind the scenes who single-handedly pushed Zigong to stand in front of the stage, smiled: "But in this way, the princes of the world should also be vigilant, the anger of the people is so great, and the meat eaters must remember...... The deer and sheep who are in a hurry will also devour the tiger and wolf in turn! ”
