"Slashed!"

The two words are simply and decisive, tens of thousands of people oppose the army, Tang Zihe's prestige is unquestionable and cannot be resisted.

Ge Lao Wu's eyes flashed fiercely, and the long knife came out of its sheath.

"Slow, slow!" The evil general panicked, he found that Generalissimo Tang was telling the truth, not a lie to scare, just a woman from an ordinary people's family, and the scuffle and entanglement just now had not yet been completed, so he never expected her to deal with it so harshly.

"Generalissimo Tang, the last general is guilty, beg the generalissimo to spare me, tomorrow the imperial army will attack the city, and the last general will fight to the death and cut off the heads of several thousands of households to atone for his sins......" The general knelt down with a pale face and begged for mercy.

Tang Zihe was unmoved, and his eyes glanced at Ge Lao Wu very sternly.

Ge Lao Wu sighed secretly, the hand holding the knife tightened, a snow-white knife light swept by, and the general begging for mercy didn't seem to even feel the pain, the huge head had risen to the sky, and the fountain-like blood flowed all over the courtyard.

There was silence in the courtyard.

Seeing the bloody scene, the insulted woman trembled slightly, rolled her eyes and fainted, and the woman's parents hurriedly supported her and looked at Tang Zihe with a frightened face.

Tang Zihe pursed his lips, hugged his fists at the two and said: "It was because I was not strict in governing the army, and I caused such scum to come out of my subordinates. ”

"No, don't dare to be, the generalissimo tortures the old man......" The old man trembled and knelt down to her, but was supported by Tang Zihe.

"Old man, what are we doing without regard for life and death, and resolutely holding high the banner of righteousness against the imperial court? I only hope that people like you will be able to live a good life and no longer be burdened with heavy taxes. No longer old and young, no longer bullying and oppression by the government, if our righteous army oppresses the people in the same way as the imperial court, what is the difference between us and the imperial court? What is the significance of this banner of righteousness? ”

Tang Zihe sighed, his expression was a little obscure: "Old man, when my righteous army first gathered, it is inevitable that the army will be uneven, and some scum will be full of it. I hope the old man will forgive. In the future, I will govern the army more strictly, and I will never allow such a thing to happen again. ”

The old man was grateful. The look of fear in his eyes was gone. A generalissimo who led tens of thousands of troops was able to lower his stature and explain so much to him as a small person. What kind of demeanor and open-mindedness this is, the resentment in the old man's heart has long disappeared at this time, and the old face of the wind and frost is instantly filled with endless gratitude.

"The Generalissimo condescended. The old man was flattered...... "The old man hesitated for a moment, and his face appeared resolute: "Generalissimo, the old man has lived for fifty years, and has been oppressed countless times by the government, but today is the first time in his life that someone treats the old man and these people as people, most of the old man is buried in the loess, and there is nothing else to ask for in this life, you give up your life for the people, why do I regret this old man?" These old men live in Bazhou City, and they dare not guarantee anything else, but the old men in the city and the neighborhoods know eight or nine times out of ten, and it is difficult for the generalissimo to defend the city, so the old man will call on the neighbors for the generalissimo and do a little effort for the righteous army......"

Tang Zihe was slightly moved, she didn't expect that beheading a general who did evil would be exchanged for such a blessing, and the people's hearts would be usable and could not be bullied.

"Thank you, old man......" Tang Zihe actually bowed down and saluted the old man, and when Ge Lao Wu and other guards saw this, they hurriedly bowed down and bowed together.

The old man hurriedly helped him, and he didn't dare to do it.

The courtyard was quickly cleaned, and the bodies of the beheaded generals were quickly carried away by the guards, and the blood-stained ground was sprinkled with a thick layer of plant ash, and then shoveled away, and everything in the courtyard was as before, as if nothing had happened.

After ordering the guards to leave one hundred taels of silver to talk about the old man's family, Tang Zihe turned around and walked out.

"Generalissimo......" the old man called out to her behind her.

Tang Zihe turned around, but saw the old man looking at her with some excitement.

"Generalissimo, the army of the court is fierce, you have to defend it, you don't abandon the people, and the world won't abandon you."

…………

…………

Walking out of the yard, the night was still cold, but Tang Zihe's heart was full of warmth.

For the first time, she realized that she was doing something right.

Since she was a child, she was cultivated by the White Lotus Sect as a red yang girl, and all she did since she was a child was pretending to be a god and fooling her neighbors, the so-called childless mother, the so-called vacuum hometown, those boundless beliefs were ethereal, even she felt ridiculous, and she didn't know why the world believed in it so devoutly. However, today, an ordinary sentence spoken by an ordinary person moved her inexplicably.

"Ge Lao Wu, did you hear that? If we do not forsake the people, the world will not forsake us...... This is the will of the people. Tang Zihe muttered.

Ge Lao Wu nodded heavily, and then his face became bitter: "Marshal, the beheaded general just now is a subordinate of Yang Hu and his wife, this couple is not big-hearted, and they are particularly short-sighted, we will kill their subordinates without greeting them, Yang Hu and his wife may not say anything, but they must be very uncomfortable in their hearts." Although our rebel army has more than 70,000 people, it is all a patchwork of heroes from the north, and if the generals below are suspicious of the marshal, it will probably be detrimental to our great cause......

Tang Zihe sighed lightly, she didn't know the current situation, but good is good, evil is evil, promoting good and punishing evil is a must-do.

"Where are Yang Hu and his wife now?"

Ge Lao Wu said: "On the order of the marshal, Yang Hu and his wife led the army to take Jinan Mansion in Shandong Province with 10,000 yuan, and they should be about to get out of Beizhili at this time." ”

Tang Zihe thought for a while and said: "I will repair a letter and send a fast horse to catch up, I will explain today's actions to the couple well, as for whether they accept it or not, it is their business, the military law I issued at the beginning was not for view, I did nothing wrong in this matter." ”

Ge Lao Wu nodded helplessly: "Yes." ”

After a moment of silence, Ge Laowu smiled and said: "Marshal, the torture tiger sent a military report, he led 20,000 righteous troops to take Henan Zhangde Mansion, the army leader tends to enter like a bamboo, the court is unmatched, in a few days, Zhangde Mansion can be included in our bag." ”

Tang Zihe lifted his eyelids without sadness or joy, and said lightly: "This is in the calculation, there is nothing to be happy about, there are too many people in the world who are bullied by the government, 20,000 righteous troops have been killed all the way, and there are more than 20,000 under the city of Zhangde Mansion. ”

Raising his eyes and looking at the dark sky, Tang Zihe sighed: "Bazhou is only two hundred miles away from the Beijing Division, and everyone in the world thinks that after I occupy Bazhou, I will wave my army to take the Beijing Division, but I just go the other way, give up the north and take the south, I don't take the Beijing Division, I take the world!" North Zhili, Henan, Shandong...... If these places are all in the hands of my righteous army, our army has a consolidated rear, sufficient food, grass and soldiers, and the imperial court of the capital division is just around the corner, now I only hope that the punishment of the tiger, Yang Hu and their movements will be faster, faster, and there is not much time left for us......"

Ge Lao Wu was puzzled: "Why? ”

Tang Zihe said bitterly: "Xu Tai besieged the city for half a month, the Beijing camp suffered heavy casualties and Bazhou has not yet been defeated, its defeat has been decided, the imperial court will not allow us and Xu Tai to continue to consume, within a month, the Beijing division will inevitably change generals, and replace Xu Tai with the main general of counterinsurgency,...... It has to be Qin Kan! ”

"What does the marshal mean is that we are not Qin Kan's opponents?"

Tang Zihe's expression was in a trance, his eyes looked at the night with empty eyes, he was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Qin Kan, the ghost of the world, when he fought with us in Tianjin, his methods were unpredictable, including the elimination of Liu Jin by the Jingshi Dynasty last month, it is said that at that time, the offensive on the Golden Palace was wave after wave, one more fatal than the other, these are Qin Kan's behind-the-scenes handwriting, the powerful generation of eunuchs fell in Qin Kan's calculations, such a powerful opponent, to be honest, if the battlefield is against him, I am not sure. ”

*****************************************************************

Ten days later, Xu Tai was defeated.

The siege of the city for a month has not made any achievements, and the bigwigs who were originally full of confidence in him in the DPRK whispered a little, although Xu Tai had served as the deputy chief soldier in the Xuanfu and fought with the Tartars, but it was all a plain encounter, if it was about the siege, he really lacked experience, and his opponent Tang Zihe was not lightly followed, the city was held as solid as gold, and there was no progress in the siege for a month.

Xu Tai was anxious, if the imperial court really replaced the main general of the counterinsurgency, his career in Xu Tai's life would probably only stop there, and he could no longer make an inch, it was a matter of the future, and Xu Tai suddenly lost his inch.

On the sixth day of November in the second year of Zhengde, Xu Tai once again ordered the whole army to attack the city, the two sides were in full swing, the attack and defense suffered countless casualties, Bazhou City was still unable to take it for a long time, and the morale of the Beijing camp was declining, a support army suddenly appeared in the northeast of Bazhou, but it was Tang Zihe who secretly laid down more than 10,000 people under Qi Yanming's department, and the 10,000 anti-army became the last straw that crushed the camel, Xu Tai's department suddenly fell into the cracks of the enemy inside and outside, after a round of fierce fighting, the Chinese army was in chaos, the soldiers abandoned their armor and fled, and the Chinese army was in chaos. The vanguard and rear army of the front army could not hold back their positions, and they were also in chaos.

This battle of 40,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, more than 20,000 dead, the siege of a month finally ended in failure, the main general Xu Tai in the chaotic army was desperately guarded by his subordinates, only then escaped with his life, the right deputy of the military affairs of the commander of the capital Yu Shi Ma Zhongxi was killed by the rebels in the chaos of the army.

When the news was transmitted back to Beijing, the court was shocked, and the ministers were in an uproar!
