The people in the city rushed to tell each other, and the stories of soldiers raping women and slashing and killing people had long been spread and everyone knew about it. Now they saw that the two people in the prisoner car were the perpetrators, and they grabbed the stones, eggs, and vegetables that they could catch and threw them at them, and chased them all the way to the vegetable market, and when the two were guillotined by the soldiers, they still threw things at the two of them, shouting loudly to put these two pigs and dogs to death.

At this time, Zu Zhao also brought people here, and he announced to the people: "Fathers, my subordinates have done such an intolerable thing that hurts heaven and reason, and my ancestor Zhao cannot escape the blame, and I apologize to everyone." Now, these two shameless people are beheading in front of you, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone. ”

"Kill them, kill these two pigs and dogs." The people shouted.

Zu Zhao saw that the people were angry, and they all scolded endlessly, and when he gave an order, he saw the sword light flashing, and two blood lights rose to the sky, grunting twice, and two heads fell to the ground. At this moment, the people rushed forward, and someone kicked the two people directly on the head, and everyone rushed up and kicked them one after another, and then the head was kicked without a trace.

After Zu Zhao beheaded the two, he comforted the people and promised that such a thing would not happen again in the future, so he led the team back to the mansion. He sent Ma Yuan to investigate the previous matter in detail, and learned that the woman who was abused was a rule to be married, her parents died early, and only one grandmother was also beaten into the river and died, as for the people who went upstairs to save people, two were seriously injured, two were hacked to death, and only one escaped with minor injuries, which was the one who asked Ma Yuan for help.

When Zu Zhao heard this, a wave of anger couldn't help but rise in his heart, and he kicked a small table away, and scolded in his mouth: "Beast, how can there be such a person." Now how do I explain it to the people? ”

Su De persuaded: "General, no one wants this to happen, but since it happened, we can only accept it, and now the perpetrator has been beheaded, which can be regarded as an explanation to the dead and the living." ”

Zu Zhao's heart is extremely uncomfortable, although he also likes beautiful women, but this kind of hurtful thing, he never dares to think about it, now this kind of thing has happened in his army, if it spreads, when he seizes other cities in the future, as long as the defenders emphasize to the people, Zu Zhao's army has many bullies and adulterers of women, if the city is broken, the people's families will inevitably suffer like this, and when the time comes, I am only afraid that the soldiers and people in the city will work together to fight against themselves, and at that time, it will be inevitable that the old and weak women and children will go into battle, Just like when the whole people were soldiers against Japan, even if they could hide in the city at that time, it would be an empty city and a dead city, what was the use.

was annoyed, and suddenly Han Ye ran in in a panic, saying that Zhao Meng had put away his things and was about to leave. When Zu Zhao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, now that he is in turmoil, his heart is already chaotic enough, how can Zhao Meng still have this mind to add chaos. That's a rare talent, he can't just let him go, he must be guilty in his heart, it was his former subordinates, and it was his relatives who did this kind of thing, so he had to leave.

Zu Zhao hurriedly chased out with everyone, intercepted Zhao Meng at the city gate, and asked, "General Zhao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhao Meng carried a cloth bag and said very ashamedly: "General, my subordinates do such things, what face do I have to stay by your side, what face do I have to lead troops to fight, and what face do I have to face the people in the city?" I can't escape the blame for this. In the future, I can only retreat to the mountains and forests to wash away the sins in my heart. ”

Zu Zhao said: "You are wrong, now is the time when people like you are needed to come out and lead a group of righteous troops to save the people." This is a basket of good eggs, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two bad eggs. The responsibility is not on you, but for all of us to put it this way. What we have to do now is to give the people an explanation, a compensation, instead of blindly evading, if you are a person of insight who escapes, the future leaders will be treacherous villains like the ten permanent servants, shameless juniors like those two, no one to fight them, how hard it is for the people in the world, how dire is it? Do you think that if you escape you, you will not be guilty? On the contrary, by running away, you are contributing to the breeding of sin, and you know that this is sin? ”

Zhao Meng was speechless by Zu Zhaoyi's call, and finally under the persuasion of everyone, he agreed to go back, and at the same time he also understood that leading troops to fight a big war should not only pay attention to their combat quality, but also pay attention to physical and mental quality, so that they know what they can do and what they can't do.

In response to this matter, Zu Zhao issued a death order to the army, and those who harass the people in the future will be severely punished, and those who are serious will be executed. If a soldier makes a mistake, the commander is implicated, the commander is wrong, the chief is implicated, the chief is wrong, the general is implicated, and so on, if the general under Zu Zhao makes a mistake, then he Zu Zhao also consciously accepts the punishment according to the seriousness of his situation.

After this incident, Zhao Meng has been blaming himself in his heart, he took the initiative to carry thorns on his back and walked on the street under the escort of soldiers, which can be regarded as a kind of atonement and an explanation to the people.

The people know that the fault is not him, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and it is normal for such people to not be able to see through, and these tens of thousands of troops, it is inevitable that there are people who are not right, they do not cover up and connive, and decisively execute them, which is already the greatest explanation to the people.

After this, Zhao Meng felt a little relieved in his heart. And when he did this, Zu Zhao also had appreciation and trust in him in his heart, knowing that he would definitely be able to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future.

Zuzhao's army continued to rest in Wangping County for three days, and during these three days, nothing disturbed the people. One night it was raining heavily, and the soldiers camped in the rain-soaked streets, and some of the people could not stand it, so they invited them into their houses to sleep, but no one dared to go in and disturb the people, and they still lived in the tents. In this regard, the people admired the Zu Zhaojun very much, and when they exchanged dialogues, they could not help but praise this army.

And thinking of the woman who was humiliated, they couldn't help but sigh, but she met the wicked people in the army, the destiny is like this, and everyone can't do anything, they just hope that such a thing will never happen in the future. Zu Zhao's army is really for the people, and some of the policies implemented by Zu Zhao are also free from the people, so they naturally support it vigorously.

After being stationed for three days, Zu Zhao continued to lead a large army to Xinchang to conquer Zhao Ci. Feng Ma Yuan and Han Ye were the pioneers of the left and right, and took the lead in the troops. And Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng, who were responsible for escorting grain and grass, followed closely.

It is said that Zu Zhao led the army to recapture Wangping County, and Zhao Meng and others all surrendered, and a spy had already reported it to Zhao Ci in Xinchang. That Xinchang was originally a large county seat in Liaodong County, and the city was no less solid than Wangping County. After Zhao Ci arrived in Xin, due to the lack of food and grass, he immediately ordered a strong attack, and finally captured the county seat, but he also suffered heavy losses, and he was recuperating in the county town at the moment, planning to let the soldiers recover some vitality and then try to plot him.

At this time, when he heard that Zhao Meng had surrendered to Zu Zhao, he was very angry in his heart, and he blasted the spies out with a burst of drink. This Zhao Ci has learned some techniques of arranging troops, he is eight feet long, has a long jade face and beard, and looks quite good, and his talent is extraordinary, but this person is extremely violent, and he likes to kill people the most when he is anxious.

At this moment, when he heard that Zhao Meng surrendered, he had a sense of anger in his heart to vent, and immediately sent someone to bring up the Xinchang County Order, cut it with a knife, and felt that it was not enjoyable, and he wanted to kill the whole family of the county order.

Not long after, another spy rushed to hug him, saying that Zu Zhao's army had left Wangping County, and at this moment, he was worshipping Youzhou warrior Ma Yuan and Zhao Meng's subordinate Han Ye as the left and right vanguard to kill Xinchang County. Zhao Ci was furious when he heard this, and immediately asked who was going to fight, and destroyed their vanguard first, so as to frustrate the other party's prestige.

At this moment, a general came out, this person's surname was Ji Mingling, he was originally from Shandong, and later there was a war, he failed to join the army, killed an officer, and went to Nanyang in order to escape the war in Shandong, and when Zhao Ci rebelled, he took refuge in Zhao Ci.

This Ji Ling is nine feet long, good at using a three-pointed two-edged knife, extremely brave, invincible in all previous battles, and failed to meet opponents, so Zhao Ci kept him by his side. Now that Ji Ling took the initiative to ask for battle, Zhao Ci was very happy in his heart, and immediately asked him to lead two thousand troops to the ancestral vanguard army.

Ji Ling said: "Little vanguard, I can already afford them when I go to meet them, why do I need two thousand, as long as eight hundred cavalry, I can bring their heads to meet them." ”

Zhao Ci said: "No, that Ma Yuan's ability is not small, and now he and Han are also the vanguard of the left and right, then Han Ye is the number one fierce general by Zhao Meng's side, and his ability cannot be underestimated, and there are many people in their vanguard troops, so you should bring more of them." ”

Ji Ling said loudly: "Lord, you also look up to them too much. That Han Ye, I have practiced with him before, he has brute strength, and he is not afraid, as for Ma Yuan, the unknown junior is also, it is not enough to mention. I will bring only 800 cavalry, and I will surely be able to take their heads. If the lord does not believe, I can make a military order, and if I cannot get their heads, I am willing to be punished by the military order. ”

Seeing that Ji Ling was so domineering, Zhao Ci was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "How can I not believe the general, okay, then you will go with eight hundred cavalry, I want to see their heads." When you successfully return, I will set up a celebration banquet for you here, and the beauties in the city can choose as you like. ”

"Thank you, Lord." After Ji Ling thanked him, he went out of the palace, selected eight hundred cavalry, opened the city gate and rushed out. Zhao Ci looked at the Ji Ling army on the city tower, and couldn't help but admire in his heart: "Ji Ling is really a god general." This battle will be won. ”
