Chapter 53: Liwei
"Under the order of Wu Hou to pay tribute to the imperial court, and meet the prime minister, my Wu Hou has a gift to give to the prime minister, I hope the prime minister can like it!"
Cao Cao said: "Oh? What kind of gift is it? ”
Zhang Hong clapped his hands, and an entourage walked over with a wooden box and put it on the ground.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and the military general Xu Chu stepped forward with a sword in his hand and opened the wooden box, only to see a pickled human head in the wooden box.
"Ahh Everyone in the hall was shocked.
Seeing that Cao Cao and everyone were puzzled, Zhang Hong said: "Prime Minister, this is Zhang Min's head!" ”
"What? Zhang Min's head? Cao Cao immediately got up and walked over to check, he didn't know Zhang Min, and he hadn't seen it, but this didn't mean that there was no way to identify it, he immediately sent people to find the officials and generals who had followed Yuan Shu at the beginning.
After the identification of several people, it was determined that this was Zhang Min's head.
"Hahaha······ Okay, good, this gift is valuable, I accept it! ”
Immediately, Cao Cao asked again: "Sun Ce must have asked for such a valuable gift to me, right?" ”
Zhang Hong saluted and said: "The prime minister is discerning, and he admires it so much!" My family Wu Hou has now recovered Danyang, Wu County, Huiji, Lujiang four counties for the imperial court, and crusaded against Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, occupying most of Jiangxia, now there is Yuzhang County raised his hand Hua Xin seems to have a heart of disobedience, my Wu Hou is bound to share worries for the imperial court! ”
"It's just that now my family's Marquis Wu is too low, if the imperial court can canonize my lord as the general of Pingdong······"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "This matter ······ I will speak to the Emperor! ”
"Thank you so much, Prime Minister······ There is also one thing to inform the prime minister that there is a general named Qin Feng under Zhang Min's command, and Zhang Min killed the prime minister's father back then, but it was actually instigated by this person, and it is reported that this person has led the rest of the army to flee into Runan! ”
Cao Cao's face gradually rose with murderous intent, and then he said to Zhang Hong: "I already know about this!" ”
"That being the case, the lower official will retire!"
After Zhang Hong left, Cao Cao asked the strategists: "Princesses, Zhang Hong said that Zhang Min killed my father at the instigation of the subordinate general Qin Feng, is this matter credible?" ”
Strategist Mao Jue said: "Prime Minister, Zhang Min died in the hands of Sun Ce, what words are not said by them?" As for whether this matter was Zhang Min's own opinion, or the instigation of Shou Tao Qian, or the instigation of the subordinate general Qin Feng, there is no evidence that he is dead, for the prime minister, it is nothing more than killing a few more people, so I don't think there is any need to care about this matter! ”
"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu asked Zhang Hong to tell the prime minister about this, just to use the prime minister's hand to get rid of Qin Feng!"
"If you can learn Qin Feng's whereabouts, the prime minister can not only avenge his father, but also get peerless beauties like Xiao Qiao, and appease Sun Ce, he can be used by him once, but it doesn't hurt to think in the future!"
Cao Cao said: "It makes sense! ”
Then he said to Cheng Yu: "Increase the number of spies, if you can know the whereabouts of Qin Feng's remnants, this time it will just solve the disaster of Runan!" ”
Cheng Yu promised: "No! ”
Jizhou, Yecheng.
Yuan Shao, the lord of Jizhou, was discussing with the strategists and generals about crossing the Yellow River to conquer Cao Cao's troop deployment, when a small colonel walked in quickly to report: "Qi Qi lord, the Runan clan sent someone to see the lord and say that there is something important to report in person!" ”
Yuan Shao asked, "Do you know who appointed it?" ”
"It's Yuan Li, the elder brother of the lord clan!"
"Oh? It's him? Bring the man in! Yuan Shao waved his hand.
"No!"
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in a businessman's costume walked in and saluted Yuan Shao in the hall: "Yuan Cong greets the general!" ”
Yuan Shao asked, "Yuan Cong, why did Yuan Li send you here?" ”
Yuan Cong looked left and right, and stopped talking, but Yuan Shao said: "These are my henchmen, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"My father has a letter to the general!" After Yuan Cong finished speaking, he took out the letter and presented it with both hands.
Someone next to him came over and gave it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao took the letter and opened it and read it quickly, with a little joy on his face, and handed the letter to Guo Tu: "Let everyone take a look!" ”
Yuan Li's letters were circulated in the hands of the strategists.
Then Guo Tu stood up and said: "Lord, I think this matter is feasible, but Qin Feng has never heard of it, and I don't know what his talent is, I think I can fund him, but I can't let him get out of control!" ”
At this time, the strategist Xin Ping stood up and said: "My lord, you can send someone to Runan to contact Liu Pi and Gong Dukou to the south of Xu Du, and Qin Feng is not subordinate to each other, these two people must not only work together to attack Cao, but also contain each other, so as not to let the situation get out of control!" ”
Yuan Shao asked: "Liu Pi and Gong both have soldiers and horses in their hands?" ”
"About three or four thousand!"
"There are fewer people!" Yuan Shao said.
At this time, the strategist Xu You stood up and said: "You can send a capable general to recommend Liu Bei!" ”
"Liu Bei?" Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and promised: "Okay, send Liu Bei to Runan to contact Liu Bi, Gong Du and others, and then let Yuan Li fully fund Qin Feng and let the two of them disturb Cao Cao's rear!" ”
······
Xincai, military barracks school field.
"Captain Qiyu, all the 6,000 men and horses brought by various families and landlords are gathered here!" Huang Yi rode his horse and reported to Qin Feng on the platform.
Qin Feng stood on the platform with the handle of his knife in his hand, looked at the six thousand guards and private soldiers who were in chaos below, and immediately said loudly: "Pass on my military order, everyone put down their weapons, run out of the barracks, and run around the city!" ”
Yuan Kun, the leading general sent by the Yuan family, walked over with suspicion on his face and asked, "Captain Qin, why did you do this?" ”
"This is my method of training!"
"Then why do you want your brothers to put down their weapons and go around the city?"
Qin Feng asked rhetorically: "Holding a weapon around the city greatly increases the burden on the soldiers, and it is easy to cause accidental injury, since you have been ordered to come to assist, just listen to my orders, no need to say more!" ”
"The order goes down, and you must return to the barracks after an hour, and if you are late, you will be fined ten laps of the school field!"
“······ Promise! ”
Under the supervision of Qin Feng's soldiers, the 6,000 men and horses successively put down their weapons and ran out of the barracks with a chaotic team.
As soon as the horses left, Qin Feng waved his hand, "Collect all the weapons!" ”
Huang Yi immediately ordered: "Quickly, collect the weapons!" ”
Hundreds of soldiers quickly ran to the school field and collected all their weapons.
It took a full hour and a half for the 6,000 men and horses to come back one after another, and the number of late arrivals was as high as more than 200.
"Come on, let these 200 people run ten laps of the school field with punishment, and those who don't follow will be beaten with thirty military staffs!" Qin Feng ordered again.
At this time, those private guards were not happy, and more than 200 people who were late clamored one after another, "Why should you be punished?" ”
"Don't run!"
"Yes, absolutely not!"
"Whatever you want!"
Qin Feng made a straight face, waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, take down all the noisy people, each of them will hit thirty military staffs, even if they are killed, they must be enough!" ”
The soldiers around the school ground swarmed up and surrounded them with spears, broadswords, and bows and arrows, and when some of them tried to pick up their weapons to resist, they found that they had no weapons in their hands.
"If you have a kind, you will kill me!"
"Yes, do it!"
"It's a grandson if you don't do it!"
Seeing that some people took the lead in the noise, others also chimed in.
Huang Yi's face turned to look at Qin Feng with an ugly face.
Qin Feng waved his hand: "Kill-"
Huang Yi immediately shouted: "The lieutenant has an order, kill—"
The soldiers immediately stabbed with their spears, "Puff-poof-"
The archers outside also kept putting arrows, "whooshing ······"
"Ahh
In less than a minute, all 200 people fell into the blood, and the soldiers stepped forward to mend the swords of those who were not yet dead.
This scene frightened more than 5,000 other people, and no one dared to make a noise anymore.
Yuan Kun walked up to Qin Feng with an ugly face and said angrily: "Captain Qin, how can you kill innocents indiscriminately, this is more than 200 people, you will kill if you say kill?" ”
Qin Feng turned his head to stare at him: "Have you ever heard that Ci is not in charge of the army?" For such those who do not obey orders, it is also a curse to keep them in the army, so it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible! If you have any objection to this, you can go to Yuan Li and ask him to negotiate with me, you are not qualified to question me! If you want to stay, obey the command, and if you don't want to stay, go back! ”
"Thou ······" Yuan Kun wanted to be tough, but Qin Feng took away his momentum, so he could only retreat gloomily.
Qin Feng once again shouted to the more than 5,000 people below: "From today onwards, those who do not listen to my military orders will be killed!" Rape and captive, behead! Those who rob the women of the people, behead ······"
He announced more than a dozen prohibitions in one breath, all of which were for the crime of beheading, and the more than 5,000 people below were terrified when they heard it.
Next, he began to train these people, extremely strict, the amount of training every day was amazing, the military discipline was strict, the law enforcement was strong, and the attitude was so resolute that Yuan Kun and some other families and landlords sent to lead the troops could not help but be frightened.
What's even worse is that Qin Feng actually asked them, the people who led the troops, to also take the lead in participating in the drill and eating and living with the soldiers.
This makes them unbearable, these people are the henchmen of the families of various families in Runan, landlords and heroes, when have they suffered this kind of hardship?
After only three days, these leaders couldn't stand it anymore, so they simply picked their sons, hid in the barracks and slept in the barracks during morning exercises, and did not come during drills.
At first, Qin Feng didn't care about them, but after another three days, some soldiers saw that these officials were not punished, and they also hid and slept in the middle.
Qin Feng was worried that he didn't have a chance to attack these people.
Early that morning, when the assembly horn sounded, most of the soldiers got up and ran to the school field to assemble, until the specified assembly time passed, the leaders of the troops, including Yuan Kun, and more than 30 of their henchmen did not arrive.
Qin Feng ordered to send people to arrest people, and Huang Yi took hundreds of people to arrest them one by one from the barracks and escorted them to the point general's platform.
"Qin Feng, you, what are you going to do? I am the henchman of the master! Yuan Kun shouted, he was tied up but couldn't break free.
Qin Feng sneered, "What am I going to do?" You and others have repeatedly violated military discipline, been absent from weeding, and brought others to violate military orders together! Just right, punish the crime together! Come on, line them up, cut off their heads, and punish them! ”
Yuan Kun was frightened and shouted: "You can't kill me, I am a member of the Yuan family, Qin Feng······ I understand that thou hast annexed these ······ long ago."
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Huang Yi's punch.
