Chapter 367: The Bitter Meat Trick That Changed Its Taste (Part II)
Good does not make plans, and mercy does not lead soldiers.
In fact, it is helpless to choose Zhou Yu to choose Zhang Yingxing this time.
At present, the forces of the three parties, Qin Xu, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu each have one side. Qin Xu has the righteousness of the will of the Son of Heaven, and it can be said that he has won the time. It is stationed in Jiangzhu for several months, and it is believed that there is an uncle-in-law Mi Zhu who deploys military funds in Xuzhou, and there is also a danger of running out of food.
The terrain of Danyang County, where Yuan Shu is based, is complex, its land is mountainous, and the pass leading to the outside world is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can be said to be geographically advantageous. Moreover, after getting the Yan family's father and son, the strength of the army once again skyrocketed to the sum of the forces of Qin Xu and Sun Ce, which should not be underestimated.
There is only Sun Ce, Qu'a City is on the riverside, and it can barely be regarded as a danger to defend, and with the support of the three counties of Yangzhou, there is no weakness in a short period of time. Moreover, when Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong, he deliberately suppressed the wealthy families of Jiangdong to a certain extent, and he also had a lot of co-optation moves, which can barely be regarded as a person. But Sun Cejun's fatal wounds are also quite obvious. Just like when Lu Bu first won Qingzhou, the local forces were quite insufficient, and they had to deal with the attacks from Jiangzhu and Danyang from the north and west, and also guard against the attack of Yuan Shujun's army on the border between Huiji County and Danyang, which was quite embarrassing.
In fact, Sun Ce sometimes wants to ask, Yasheng has a saying, the time is not as good as the location, the location is not as good as the people, how did it come to his own family, this is also regarded as a classic "truth" by Confucianism, why is it not good?
At present, since Sun Cejun has taken the opportunity to make profits in order to avoid Yuan Shu, who is eyeing him from the sidelines, he can only make a move to break Qin Xu's troops with one blow! And I want to do it. Liu Xuan in Qin Xu's army is undoubtedly the easiest "pass" to break through.
Zhang Ying is Liu Xuan's general, and he once had a life-saving grace with Liu Xuan. In addition to Zhang Ying, there is really no second person who can make Liu Miao not suspicious. And Zhang Yingji is a Gu family. For the sake of the clan and even to be able to inherit the strange eyes of the world, as long as the life and death of his clan are mastered, Zhang Ying will not be used by Sun Ce's army, and there is no danger that Zhang Ying will suddenly turn back. It's nothing more than how to talk about the past on the surface.
"So, without further ado! Let's ask the lord and General Zhou to torture! Zhang Ying gritted his teeth and said. Now that Sun Ce has already given an explanation, Zhou Yu has also expressed his posture. This plan is facing the former lord Liu Xuan, who "can't be supported", for the safety of his family. Zhang Ying can only be "unjust" once.
"It's hard to hurt General Zhang! If this plan succeeds, Yangzhou will be guaranteed, and Sun will swear in the name of his family. We will definitely live up to General Zhang's righteous help! Sun Ce solemnly slammed Zhang Yingchang to the ground, his face showed a little annoyance, and he glanced at Zhou Yu, who also had a strange face, with a little blame, and said to Zhu Zhi: "Junli." After General Zhang was tortured with the cane. You must take good care of your life, and you must not let General Zhang miss the slightest! ”
"Bo Fu ......" Zhou Yu naturally knew that Sun Ce was quite high-spirited, and he was upright, and even regretted that he couldn't fight with Lu Bu happily. This kind of coercion of other people's relatives to force others to be calculated, don't look at Sun Ce's consent, but it is really a hurdle in Sun Ce's heart. But he, Zhou Yu, is not for himself! Originally, Mei Zhoulang's favorite thing was the elegant thing of tuning the piano and composing, but at this time, he just wanted to think about such a strategy to threaten other people's relatives, do you think we are comfortable? But who told Lu Bu to order Qin Xu to "follow the order" to choose such a time to meddle in Yangzhou's affairs? Who is called Sun Ce, although he has already won the four counties of Yangzhou in just half a year. In terms of the actual area of the land, it is almost equal to the sum of the two prefectures of Qingxu. However, the strength of the army is only less than one-third of Lu Bu's army, and he is not sure that he will resist the attack on both sides! is still the same sentence, the situation is stronger than people, no one can be blamed, and only the chaotic Han world, the era of dog days.
"Gongjin doesn't need to say it! Something understands! Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have different paths, they can become close friends, and they marry Jin Lan, and they actually have the same views on many things, and sometimes they even have the same feeling. Seeing Zhu Zhi leave with Zhang Ying, Sun Ce took a deep breath, put a smile on his face again, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, I hope this plan can succeed in making that Qin Zhong retreat knowing the difficulty, so that I can free up my hands to concentrate on cleaning up Yuan Highway, and you and my brothers will work together to strive for the least amount of time, at least let this Jiangdong land not be poisoned by war from now on!" ”
"Hmm! ……”
Cane punishment, mostly spine cane in the Han Dynasty, originated at the end of the Qin Dynasty, originally from the violent Qin Jun law "inheritance", mostly popular in the army, is a kind of severe torture punishment second only to beheading. Under normal circumstances, if a man of full strength is defeated, twenty battles are enough to kill half of his life. Generally speaking, if Shangfeng orders the spine staff to be more than forty, if there is no popularity to say that Xiang released water, it is really a death beating. But Zhang Ying received a full eighty spine cane.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
At first, Zhang Ying could still endure it. After all, he was just making a show to Liu Xuan, not only could he not let Zhang Ying be injured to the root, but he also had to "make the staff wound old", in order to be able to mix up the investigation of the high-ranking people in Lu Bu's army; Therefore, Zhu Zhi specially found the execution master in the army to come and go down with a cane, trying to only hurt the skin and not the bones. But the problem is that even if a person with "experience" is executed, this can be beaten with 80 canes, even if it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, the skin and flesh on the back have been beaten to pieces, and the person will be hooked for half his life.
Zhang Ying insisted on the thirtieth cane, and his face was already pale, and the beads of sweat the size of beans fell to the ground with the tremor of his body, and after a while, a small pool of water gathered. It was easy to get to the sixtieth cane, Zhang Ying was already in pain, but he was ashamed of Liu Xuan this time, just as this was his punishment, although he couldn't control his snot and tears, he still gritted his teeth until his gums were bloody, and he refused to snort lightly. By the time of the last ten canes, Zhang Ying hadn't fainted yet, but he didn't even have the strength to grit his teeth, as if his back had been broken, and he didn't have the slightest sense, but as the stick that seemed to be heavy and light fell on his back and hips, there was a dull sound, and his body also twitched instinctively.
Not to mention the injury, the flesh and blood of the entire back have been beaten into flesh, and white bones are even faintly visible in the shoulder blades and other places, and the end is extremely terrifying.
"General Zhang! True heroes too! Zhu Zhi is convinced! "Rao is Zhu Zhi was once the lieutenant of Wu County, focusing on the affairs of the adversity of the border and the thieves and bandits, and later advocated punishment in Sun Cejun's army, and he has seen hundreds of people who have been tortured with rods, and he has seen a lot of ugly appearances when the tortured people are tortured, and I have never seen a tough guy like Zhang Ying who is still silent.
"No...... Nuisance! Zhang Ying is now in a cold sweat that hurts almost every time he breathes, but he still shows a smile and seems to mean something: "There are still three days left and right, if Zhang is lucky not to die, this level will be passed!" ”
"General Zhang, rest assured! The lord ordered a certain to bring the best stick sore medicine, which will definitely keep General Zhang safe! After waiting for this matter and recuperating for a few months, I believe that even a scar may not be able to remain! Zhu Zhi didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Ying's words, sighed, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, and sprinkled the medicinal powder evenly on Zhang Ying's back, and instantly poured fine foam on Zhang Ying's back, making Zhang Ying twitch again.
The entire eighty canes almost cost Zhang Ying most of his life. and because of the second pain caused by the medicine, Zhang Ying had the intention of seeking death for a while. After Zhu Zhi's sentence was completed, he ordered someone to carry Zhang Ying to the secret room, ordered the doctor to take care of him, and came to Sun Ce to tell him. After hearing about Zhang Ying's tragic situation, he couldn't help but show a little frightened, and hurriedly instructed Zhu Zhi to ask a doctor to treat him carefully, and then once again as Zhang Ying's subordinate, he went to seek the accurate time of "rescue" with Guo Jia, the mastermind of the Qingzhou army who intended to "recruit" him privately.
"General Qin, Guo Junshi, Liu Yuanjun, that Zhang Zhi, who claims to be Zhang Ying's subordinate, is here again!" In Jiang Zhu and Qin Xu's military camp, Qin Xu was pulling Guo Jia, who was not a nose and not an eye, to contact his own cheap "big brother" Liu Xuan, of course, he may not have taken the opportunity to investigate what the discord between Guo Jia and Liu Xuan meant, and when he was chatting, he suddenly heard Tai Shici, who was supposed to be on duty today, report to the account.
"Zhang Zhi?" The day before yesterday, Qin Xu wanted to pretend to be a second ancestor who was delegated to power and had no directors, and then because of Guo Jia's strange situation with Liu Xuan, he didn't have time to ask the name of the person who came back last year.
"Oh, Brother Zhong Mingxian, this person is the brother who was originally under Zhang Yingmen, the general of the Ministry in Yangzhou, and he has a vague impression of being a brother, and he is quite familiar, and he must have met in Qu'a City." Since he "recognized" Guo Jia, Liu Miao didn't know for what purpose, he was reluctant to call him, but he became more and more intimate, so hot that he almost cut off the head of the chicken and burned the yellow paper to worship the handle. If it weren't for the fact that Guo Jia's face turned a little blue at this time, he couldn't say that Qin Xu was angry, and maybe he would really be half-pushed.
"On the same day, when Jia pretended to show the intention of soliciting outside the account, I had heard this person claim to be his word Junli, who was originally the governor of Wu County, and it was the Taifu Ma Riyan who recruited him as a subordinate in Shouchun at that time, and later returned to Wu County and served under Zhang Yingmen. Even if the name is fake, the word will not be fake. Otherwise, sooner or later, Jia will see its flaws. Seeing Liu Xuan's affection for Qin Xu, Guo Jia's face flashed a little unnatural, and he lightly said the origin of Zhu Zhi's words under the pseudonym "Zhang Zhi".
"Huh, Junli? It turned out to be him! That's a great power! The corners of Qin Xu's mouth hooked slightly, and he said with a chuckle.
