However, Zhang Niucal had just walked into the Jiangdong camp when he was met by a group of people.

Looking at the strange generals who were blocking the way, Zhang Niucal said: "Who are you and why are you in my way?" ”

The military general took a sip and shouted: "Come on, arrest this spy!" ”

As soon as the strange military general gave an order, more than a dozen soldiers behind him rushed up, and immediately dragged Zhang Niucalf off the horse's back, and then pressed him to the ground and tied him up indiscriminately, not afraid of Zhang Niucalf escaping.

The military general said, "Brothers, come with me and ask the lord for an explanation!" ”

On the way to Sun Ce's big tent, Zhang Niucal finally knew that this group of people was actually Tai Shi Ci's old department, the Qingzhou cavalry who escaped death from the battlefield of Xia Cai, they originally followed Tai Shi Ci to serve Liu Xuan, and after Liu Xiang was defeated, he followed Tai Shi Ci and surrendered to Sun Ce, and now they heard that Tai Shi Ci was not dead, so they had the idea of quality exchange.

The military general who blocked his way just now was Tai Shici's general, Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong took more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers and tied Zhang Niu Calf to Sun Ce's big tent.

Seeing that Ma Zhong actually tied up a calf, Sun Ce knew what was going on, but on the surface, he was furious and shouted: "Ma Zhong, what are you going to do?" Hurry up and release them! ”

Ma Zhong stiffened his neck and said, "Lord, the last general asks you to take Zhang Niu calf as a hostage in exchange for my general!" ”

Behind Ma Zhong, more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers also knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "The lord, the villain and others request to take Zhang Niucalf as a hostage in exchange for my family General Taishi!" ”

"Ma Zhong, you dare to threaten me?!" Sun Ce was immediately furious.

Not to mention that this is acting, even if it is Sun Ce's nature, he is by no means a person who can be coerced.

The evaluation of Sun Ce in the history books is beautiful and murderous, what does it mean?

That is to say, Sun Ce loves to be beautiful and likes to kill, those who anger Sun Ce, whether it is a celebrity or a hero, most of them do not end well, let's just say Yu Ji, Wu Jun, how many people call him Yu Xianshi, when Sun Ce wants to kill Yu Ji, not only the subordinate Wu pleaded, but Mrs. Wu also came forward to intercede.

But in the end? Didn't Sun Ce kill Yu Ji anyway?

In essence, Sun Ce is not a person who is willing to give in!

In other words, Sun Ce is a person who wants to save face!

Ma Zhong and more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers knelt on the ground to intercede, asking to exchange Zhang Niucalf from Yuan Ying for Tai Shici, which naturally was impossible to get Sun Ce's permission, but it aroused Sun Ce's anger even more.

Sun Ce roared angrily: "Come on, tie up Ma Zhong and them for me!" ”

Sun Ce's personal soldiers immediately rushed up and pressed Ma Zhong and more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers to the ground and tied them up.

As soon as Ma Zhong and them were tied up, Sun Ce waved his hand again and shouted: "Push it out and beat eighty military sticks!" ”

The pro-soldiers agreed with a bang, pushing Ma Zhong and a dozen Qingzhou soldiers out, preparing to carry out the cane punishment.

Cane punishment is not a joke, eighty military sticks down, even a ruthless person like Zhou Tai has to shed his skin, and the sergeant who executes must show mercy, otherwise, if you change someone who understands the doorway, you can beat people to death with more than a dozen sticks!

However, at this time, many generals of the Jiangdong Army heard the news, and after asking the reason, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, two veteran generals, took Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang to intercede for Ma Zhong.

"Lord, Ma Zhong also did this in a hurry, so forgive him this time."

"My lord, Ma Zhong's disrespectful words are certainly a great crime, but he is to save General Tai Shici, but it is understandable."

"Yes, lord, Ma Zhongken is really a loyal and righteous man for the sake of General Tai Shici, the lord can't scold Ma Zhong and others for this, otherwise, how can the lord obey the public?"

Although Ma Zhong defected to Sun Ce for a short time, his archery skills were from the same family as Tai Shi Ci, and he was the best in the world, Cheng Pu and others took pity on Ma Zhong's martial arts, and they were unwilling to lose a member of the Jiangdong Army because of a trivial matter.

Cheng Pu and the others didn't know the inside story of the matter, and their words were very sincere.

Zhou Yu also came out to play a round and persuaded Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, Nian Ma Zhong and others are still first-time offenders, so let's give them a chance to change their ways." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu said to Ma Zhong again: "Ma Zhong, why don't you hurry up and admit your mistake to the Lord?" ”

Who knew that Ma Zhong stiffened his neck again, and said sharply: "I'm not wrong, why admit my mistake?" ”

Zhou Yu was angry and said, "You admit your mistake, why do you have to contradict the lord?" ”

"I didn't contradict the lord." Ma Zhong didn't appreciate it, and said sharply, "I don't know how much Jiangdong Erlang's blood is stained on Zhang Niucal's hands, and he killed General Huang Lao in Longkang, he is my Jiangdong mortal enemy, and I propose to exchange Zhang Niucalf for my general, what's wrong with this?" The generals are judging for me, am I wrong? Dare to ask me what was wrong? ”

Cheng Pu and Han Dangzhu were speechless, but Ma Zhong's words poked at the sore spot in their hearts.

In fact, if Sun Ce hadn't stopped him, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others would have taken the head of a calf to pay tribute to Huang Gai.

Sun Ce became more and more angry, and shouted: "If the puppet still dares to speak disrespectfully, how can he be spared?" Those who dare to intercede will be punished together with Ma Zhong and others! ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Ce ordered his own soldiers to push Ma Zhong and more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers down and behead them.

Good guy, now it's not about beating eighty military sticks, but directly beheading it for public display.

At this moment, Zhang Niucal, who was originally watching coldly, could no longer stand by, and said suddenly: "General, slow down!" ”

Sun Ce's expression eased slightly, and he turned back to Zhang Niucal and said, "The calf doesn't have to think too much, Ma Zhong and the others are innocent!" ”

Seeing that Sun Ce still refused to let go of Ma Zhong and the others, Zhang Niuqi was in a hurry, and as soon as he struggled to break free, he actually broke free from the hemp rope on his body, and snatched the ring head knife of one of his own soldiers with his backhand.

Seeing that Zhang Niucalf snatched the knife, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, the two veterans, hurriedly protected Sun Ce.

Cheng Pu reacted even faster, because he had both the bloody memories of Sun Jian being shot by Liu Biaojun, and the painful memories of Sun Ce Zhongfu almost being shot by Yuan Jun, and he had always suspected that Zhang Niucalf was a fraudulent surrender, so he was protected in front of Sun Ce as soon as possible.

It's just that to Cheng Pu's surprise, after Zhang Niucal grabbed the knife, he didn't come forward to kill Sun Ce, but backhanded the ring head knife to his neck, this guy actually wanted to commit suicide?

Seeing Zhang Niuluo holding the knife to his neck, Sun Ce hurriedly said, "Calf, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Niucal really had a will to die, he was already very embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to return to the Yuan clan or stay under Sun Ce, which would make Ma Zhong make such a fuss, and he immediately had a will to die.

Anyway, since there is nothing to repay, let's repay it with this life.

As for the old mother, before she came, Zhang Niucal had already made proper arrangements.

Zhang Niucal held a knife around his neck, choked and said to Sun Ce: "General, the calf is just a Sima under Yuan's account, how can he be gifted by you first, and then courtesy?" Today, the general is going to kill the general because of me, how can the calf be at ease? Although the death of the calf is not a pity, I hope that the general can spare General Ma Zhong and the sergeants. ”

Sun Ce hurriedly said: "Calf, you put down the knife, but I didn't kill Ma Zhong because of you." ”

Zhang Niucal ignored Sun Ce, turned around and swept over the faces of Cheng Pu and Han Dang one by one, and said with a laugh: "Old General Cheng, Old General Han, and all the generals, I know that you have long wanted to kill me Zhang Niucalf, and sacrifice my head to General Huang, my head is here, you ...... Take it! ”

After the last word was finished, Zhang Niucal did not hesitate to take the knife and wipe it hard.

In the next moment, a big hole opened on the right neck of Zhang Niucal, and the red blood suddenly rushed out like a sharp arrow.

"Calves!" Sun Ce was dumbfounded, but this time it was a little unexpected for him.

Zhou Yu was also equally dumbfounded, he didn't expect this to happen at all.

Sun Ce turned around and exchanged glances with Zhou Yu, who nodded secretly.

Zhang Niucal led the knife to kill himself, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhou Yu, but then again, Zhang Niucal's suicide had a better effect.

At that moment, Sun Ce said angrily: "Jia Hua! ”

Jia Hua stepped forward with his knife and responded, "Lord? ”

Sun Ce pointed at Ma Zhong and a group of Qingzhou soldiers, and shouted: "Drag it down, Ma Zhong's staff will be two hundred, and then demoted to what is the length, so that he will wear the crime and make meritorious service, and the rest of the staff will be eighty, all of them will be reduced to auxiliary pawns!" ”
