In order to win over the families of Liangzhou and the power of the Hu tribe, Shi Min adopted a policy of gentleness and wantonly accepted outstanding children of the family and the Hu clan into the army, either as civilians or as military positions, depending on their ability.

But they are not very important positions, at least until they fail to show their abilities, Shi Min will not dare to reuse them easily!

On the other hand, Shi Min got a lot of rewards.

The Duan, Ma, Yan and other clans in the northwest donated a lot of money and grain as military expenses to fund the Zhao army to continue to fight in Liangdi. The Hu tribes such as Lu Shuihu, the Bald Division, and the Fuqu Division dispatched tribal warriors one after another, drawing three out of five, that is, three out of five males were selected to join the ranks of the Zhao army to deal with the Liang army together.

Whether it is the family or the Hu family, they are both the first rats, and this Shi Min is very clear.

Now the Zhao army has gained the upper hand, and the front of the army is directed at Guzang, the capital of the Liang State, but the main force of the Liang army is still there, although these families and the Hu clan have sent representatives to surrender to Shi Min and express their goodwill, it does not mean that they will really support Shi Min wholeheartedly.

Among those who entered the army, Shi Min valued Lu Polou and Yan Sha, and added the two to his staff group, and joined the army with the army and the record to join the army, as the right and left hands of Qin Mu, the military division of the army.

After sending off these Hu representatives, Qin Mu ran in again and asked to see Shi Min.

"The lord only relied on a few words, and some means were supported by the family lords and the Hu tribe of Helong, so that they turned against the Zhang family, and presumably the war of the western expedition will be able to succeed immediately." Qin Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shi Minyun said lightly: "Qin Mu, this matter is not that simple, you still don't want to make fun of me." ”

If Shi Min was naïve, believing that with his only words and the pressure of the soldiers, he could force the gate valve of Liangdi and the Hu clan to bow down to him, Shi Min might not be alive now!

Qin Mu restrained his smile and said, "I don't know what the lord is going to do?" ”

"I have received news that Zhang Jun has appointed Xie Ai as the envoy, the governor of the military and the generals, Suo Yao as the general of the army, and the Liang State has 50,000 horsemen, and is dispatching troops and generals, preparing to come to Quliu."

"Zhang Jun, is this going to be ruined?"

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Things are far from getting to that point. Previously, my promises to the Gate Valve and the Hu Clan, as well as the things they promised, were all false, and whether they could come true or not depended on the outcome of this battle. ”

"Is the lord worried that this battle will be difficult to win?"

"Is it the way to be timid before you fight?" Shi Min shook his head and said, "But for Xie Ai, I really don't have the certainty of victory." ”

Hearing this, Qin Mu bowed his head slightly and said: "Xie Ai is a Confucian general, he has twice defeated my Zhao army with less, and beheaded nearly 20,000, which should not be underestimated. But now that the lord has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, high morale and sharp weapons, why is he afraid of a mere Xie Ai? ”

That being said, Shi Min's heart still has no bottom.

Xie Ai's ability should be about the same as Murong Ke, and it is impossible to fight against such a strong Confucian general, Shi Min's heart is not under pressure.

"Qin Mu, you're right. Maybe I'm overthinking, what are you doing here? ”

"That's right. Lord, the day before yesterday you sent me to persuade Zhang Ju to surrender, but this guy doesn't eat hard and soft, doesn't eat oil and salt, and seems to be bent on death, and his subordinates now have a plan to make Zhang Ju surrender and use it for my use, but this matter still needs your approval. ”

Qin Mu muttered in Shi Min's ear again.

Shi Min cried and laughed: "What else should I do?" You just let go and do it, Zhang Ju is a rare general with both wisdom and bravery, like such a person, I can't get it, and I can't let others get it. ”

"No!"

With Shi Min's words, Qin Mu was relieved.

Under Shi Min's command, there are countless good generals, and there is no shortage of talents, and there is no shortage of Zhang Ju. But talent, the more the merrier, even if you can't get it, you can't let him serve his enemies and add so much trouble to himself, right?

Soon, Zhang Ju, who originally thought that Shi Min was going to go out in person to persuade him to surrender, was escorted to the prisoner car and rushed to the execution ground with those death row inmates.

There were twelve death row inmates, lined up, their heads pressed against wooden piers, and only one executioner sharpened his knife next to him.

Look at this, the executioner is going to cut off the heads one by one!

This is the scariest of all!

These twelve death row prisoners, some of whom are like Zhang Ju, are die-hard members of the Zhang regime, and some are local corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

"It's noon!"

Qin Mu, the supervisor of the beheader, immediately took out the order arrow on the table and threw it down!

"Slash!"

With a "poof", a huge head fell to the ground.

"Click!"

Another head.

"Poof!"

Another head fell to the ground.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

This time, the sharpened ghost head knife failed to cut off the man's neck at once, and the man howled miserably, and the pain was extreme.

The executioner slashed three times in a row, and this resulted in the man's life!

As we all know, executioners never change knives in their lives, and some executioners don't even know how to sharpen knives!

In fact, the executioner industry is an unpopular one, and people are reluctant to be executioners because they are afraid of losing their longevity. Most of the executioners were from poor families, and because they earned a lot of money as executioners, they chose this path.

There are also because they are naturally bold and do not believe in evil, they like to punish adultery and eliminate evil, so they are willing to take this path.

But the executioners are not all really five big and three thick, those are all executioners in TV series, and the real executioners are ordinary people, of course, it is not excluded that there are strong ones.

But there are two versions of the executioner's knife.

One theory is that the knife of the execution must be sharpened, so that the tortured person will reduce the pain, the general executioner will drink a large sip of wine during the execution, half of his own drink to strengthen his courage, half sprayed on the knife to eliminate bad luck, they always execute when the prisoner is not paying attention, so that they will have less pain, in fact, the executioner does not want to see people die in pain.

There is also a theory that some executioners never sharpen their knives, because if they sharpen their knives before they carry out executions, then they will think that they are accomplices in killing these prisoners.

Even they don't want to sharpen their knives, let alone sharpeners, they can hide as far as they can, for fear of getting bad luck and attracting unclean things.

But either way, the executioner is also a very bold person, and they are usually beheaded at noon, because at that time the yang energy is the heaviest, and even then, when they get home, they will cross the brazier and pat their bodies to go back and forth.

An executioner, cutting off people's heads, no matter how sharp the ghost knife in his hand is, I am afraid that in the end, when the executioner who has no strength cuts people, he still has to cut a few more knives, so that the death row prisoner will suffer more!

And unfortunately, Zhang Ju is the last one to be stabbed!

When the tenth death row prisoner died tragically, Zhang Ju finally couldn't bear it anymore and completely collapsed.

"It's down! I fell! ”
