Chapter 040, the fall of the Cao family
040
The patriarch of the Cao clan watched his brothers and elders run to safety, while the three junior officials on the other side remained motionless, and smiled at the moment, looking at Tang Hong's expression with a disdainful smile, expecting to see the other party's expression of disbelief.
However, he was disappointed, Tang Hong's expression was actually the same with disdain, which gave him a sense of foreboding, and he hurriedly looked at the soldiers behind the other party, but there was no change in the slightest.
Halfway through, an uncle of the Cao clan who was captured by Tang Hong suddenly broke free of the rope and took out the object blocked in his throat, shouting: "Watch your back!!"
As soon as the things that happened in the heart of the Cao clan patriarch passed, he turned his head with a thought of disbelief.
Under the flash of the knife, the corpse fell to the ground with a bang, silently making the sound of gurgling water flowing with blood, and the grass looked particularly tender green under the blood!
Everything happened too quickly, the death of the patriarch of the Cao clan, and the killing began. The more than 100 soldiers behind him who had originally supported the scene suddenly began to kill.
A massacre lasted only three minutes from beginning to end, and the rest of the soldiers had already killed the Cao family's private soldiers at the gate of the dock fort, rushed to the city wall, and bursts of shouts rang out.
And Tang Hong and Chen Gong were chatting and laughing hundreds of steps outside the city, while their foot guards firmly guarded the city gate and did not let anyone go, and waited for about half an hour, the entire Cao's Dock Fort calmed down, and Tang Hong couldn't help but yawn.
After a day of exhaustion and bumpiness, Tang Hong was indeed very tired, and suddenly such a high-intensity action really made his whole body sore, and his black hair fell out, Chen Gong hurriedly said: "The lord is tired?" Yes, but it's fast, and I'll be able to leave the statistics to me after that. In other words, it's time for the lord to perform the crown ceremony, is there any suitable candidate? ”
"I know a highly respected person, let's invite him to the crown ceremony next year, this hair is not used to being scattered."
At this time, the eldest prince walked to the door with a pale face, looked at Tang Hong with a fearful gaze, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Will the things you promised me fulfill?"
Tang Hong's eyes when he looked at the eldest prince were very complicated, in fact, the eldest prince was not accepted by him as a retainer, but promised him to make him the patriarch of the Cao clan by way of promise, and all the fields and properties belonged to him were given to him intact, but he could not be an enemy of him, and Shou Qingshan was not the private territory of the Cao family.
That's right, Tang Hong is just teasing him, what are you kidding about a thousand acres of land! It's just wishful thinking.
"Ahem, what happened like this, after the defeat of the eldest prince Cao, you and your subordinates made up lies and threw all the sins on Bailize's body, and then when the two sides exchanged prisoners, the eldest prince, you were afraid that the truth of the matter would be discovered, so you gritted your teeth and ordered your subordinates to slaughter everyone, waiting for an opportunity to usurp the throne, and were killed by the righteous me on the battlefield. Do you think this kind of writing can bring out my justice? ”
The eldest prince looked relieved, knelt on the ground and sighed: "Alas! Success and defeat are nothing more than that. ”
Tang Hong's smile faded, revealing a look of kinship.
At this time, all the archers had their bows and crossbows removed, their stomachs were separated, ropes were tied, and more than 100 foot soldiers were pressed to Tang Hong's 100 meters away, and they knelt down with kicks and knees, looking up at Tang Hong with a tired face.
Tang Hong waved his hand, and Chen Gong said knowingly: "If you are willing to surrender to my lord, you will call him the lord, and if you are not willing to surrender, you will die."
Immediately all the people shouted to the Lord and bowed down, and all the foot soldiers cut the ropes and let the men go, and each of them took away his armor, his bow, his arrow, and his quiver.
Yu, 2000
"Lord, find a room to sleep in here tonight!"
Tang Hong nodded and said: "You are tired, you must check everyone's loyalty to the Cao family, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I don't want anyone in Ning County to incite this matter, I will write a letter to Donghe County in a while, and attach a hundred gold, and implement this matter."
There are also people from the Cao family in the Taishou Mansion who asked Yu Qing to stare at him for me, I can't let go of any clues, it's best to find an opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
He immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Gong, and then found a room to prepare for sleep, and twenty soldiers guarded the door all night.
However, in the middle of the night, the dark room suddenly became cold, and the soldiers outside the door suddenly became suspicious and shouted: "Lord, is there something wrong?" Do you need us in? ”
No one in the room answered, the soldier kicked open the door in a panic and rushed in, and when he looked around, Tang Hong was sitting at the head of the bed, sweating profusely, his face was full of palpitations, and when he saw them, he waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry to worry you!" I was just...... I had a nightmare, it's much better with the candle flame on, you guys go out. ”
Tang Hong did have a nightmare, and in the dream, the Cao family was looking for him to settle accounts, and then he woke up. After lighting the candle, my heart suddenly became much more steady, and I slept until dawn.
On the second day, the sun rose, and the noisy sound woke Tang Hong, and before he knew it, the candles had burned out, and Tang Hong walked out in his clothes to see Chen Gong directing the people to carry the goods with a tired face.
"Gongtai, be careful that your body collapses, haven't you slept?"
Chen Gong said with great interest: "In the warehouse inside the dock fort, we have found more than 100,000 stones, 600 gold, 200 leather armor, 350 weapons, 50 bows and arrows, and 3,000 arrows."
After hearing this, Tang Hong immediately felt excited.
"It's just that the weapons and leather armor are relatively old, not sophisticated enough, and they are not as good as those in our warehouse, so I have replaced them with inventory equipment, and I suggest that you give them to Lord Taishou."
Tang Hong nodded and said, "Okay."
"In addition, I have gathered the tenants of the 1,000 acres of land, and in a moment the harvested grain from all over the country will be delivered, and those farms are going to be burned down. As for the dock fort, some building resources should also be used before it burns. Also, we found that some books have been transferred to Ning County. ”
Tang Hong nodded and said, "You are also tired, but it's a pity that the current resources are limited, and you can't bring out more people to share it for you."
After hearing this, Chen Gong said proudly: "This is exactly the weight of the lord, it can help the lord's hegemony, even if the life span is reduced by ten years, why not?"
Tang Hong was very moved when he heard this, pursed his lips and did not speak, deeply engraved this sentence in his heart.
…
Tang Yan returned to the academy with a pale face, sensing the strange gazes of everyone around him, and his heart was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to hold a grudge against Lu Qing, so he could only hate Tang Hong more and more.
Who is Luqing? Who is Tang Hong?
Tang Yan still didn't believe that Lu Qing would speak for a mongrel in Yu, and said through gritted teeth in his yard: "That bastard, a pale white natal qi, can apologize for me, that's his glory, I don't know what kind of shit he ate, he can actually make that old deer immortal pity him."
Mr. Xiao on the side immediately nervously went to the door and looked around, breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door tightly and said: "My lord, you yourself have a deep foot, and the frustration of the family is a trivial matter, and the most important thing now is to open the opening here in the genius of the world, then everything will not be a problem!" If you still can't impress the talent of the world within three months, you will still be able to develop the team first. ”
Tang Yan wandered back and forth, frowning and said, "Now that I have this stigma, how can the talents of the world who ignored me before ignore me?"
"No matter what, you can't give up if you have a chance to live."
"Okay."
In the attic, Jiang Xiu looked at the cloth in his hand and muttered, "Tang Hong, the third son of the Tang family in Shichuan County, Jiangzhou?" The inexplicable appearance of gold, various resources, and talents seemed to appear out of thin air, without a trace. ”
"Childe, Tang Yan of the Tang clan of Shishan County asks to see you."
Jiang Xiu was surprised.
