Any kind of creature, even a person who claims to be the head of all spirits, has always been fearful of power and rarely virtuous in his nature. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info It's a biological instinct, and there's nothing wrong with that.

It is common to be afraid of strength and dare not resist, but to sneer at Ende, and even take revenge on Ende.

Especially in the last days of the dynasty, people are like beasts, without the constraints of order, and the more chaotic they are, the closer they tend to be instinctive beasts.

Thieves are such a group of things that have brought their animal nature to the extreme.

When they were holding the people hostage, killing the people, treating the people as mustard, and destroying everything, they never put themselves in their shoes and thought about what kind of mood they would feel if they were themselves.

On the contrary, they will hate.

Why should you, the people, live in peace and contentment, while I am going to be a thief?

Defy!

I'm a thief, so don't even think about it.

This is the bestiality of human nature. In the final analysis, human beings are also animals, but they are a little more intelligent than animals. But animal nature has always been buried in the depths of instinct. In peacetime, there is orderly restraint. And when there is chaos, it will erupt.

Why do you say that troubled times use heavy codes?

Here's why.

The more troubled the times, the more ruthless they must be. Otherwise, how can you suppress the people who have erupted in bestiality?

Zhao Yu in front of the twenty or thirty thousand thieves and prisoners, and beat Ma Shouying into pulp with one cone, nothing more than that.

Shouzhou is down, and the next is Huoqiu. According to the original plan, at this time, the other four armies were about to be in place. He has no time to waste time in Shouzhou along the way.

To go to Huoqiu, you must take most of the soldiers and horses, leaving only one thousand. And there were twenty or thirty thousand prisoners here. Disproportionate. Once there is a change, I am afraid it will not be suppressed.

It must be allowed to deepen the fear in the hearts of these captives.

Previously, Zhao Yu crisscrossed the city of Shouzhou, killed dozens of people with one cone, and returned to the 3,000 old camp, and was almost killed by him alone, and it took only half a pillar of incense.

It's scary enough.

But Zhao Yu still feels unsafe.

The court was accustomed to Zhao'an, and the thieves were lucky. If you follow Ma Shouying's idea and recruit him, it is not only not a good thing, but a huge hidden danger.

This compromise will make the captives think about it.

How wonderful is it to think that the imperial court is weak - surrender if you can't fight anyway, rebel when you see the opportunity, and surrender again if you can't fight?

Zhao Yu directly interrupted this fluke.

first killed Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, and then without saying a word, he directly dragged out a hundred people from the captives below, and the swords fell to the ground.

It's not okay to kill the old man, these thieves are not necessarily grateful to the old man, maybe the old man will become a meat puree, and many people are still happy in their hearts.

You have to let them know that it hurts!

A hundred heads are not many, but they are killed without saying a word, and this kind of ruthless method is really terrifying.

Zhao Yu spoke, causing the captives to testify against each other and find out the leader. It is limited to ten breaths, and if there is no one to testify, another hundred people will be pulled out and continue to kill.

So they scrambled to be the first.

As long as it is the leader of the thieves who leads more than 100 people, in less than a stick of incense, all of them will be pointed out, and then dragged out and killed.

In just two moments, this group of captives was truly scattered.

All that remained, hundreds of heads in a pool of blood.

Only at this time did Zhao Yu relax his heart.

He just nodded slightly to the guide, that is, the person who controlled Shouzhou City from then on, walked down the Dianjiang platform, and left Shouzhou City.

Outside the city, about 9,000 soldiers and horses have been waiting for a long time.

In this attack on Shouzhou, the loss of soldiers and horses was negligible. The main reason is that Zhao Yu broke through the door with one blow, and with the strength of one person, he defeated the old camp of thieves, making the thieves in the city chaotic and unable to form combat effectiveness, which is so easy.

Real casualties, less than a hundred.

Speaking of which, such an easy battle almost exists in legends.

After this battle, the soldiers became more convinced of Zhao Yu. There is no doubt about that. The victory raised the morale of the soldiers. And the benefits of victory, such as capture, made the soldiers smile.

Like a thief, he is the best at looting, and almost every rogue, has silver on him. captured Shouzhou, defeated Lao Huihui, and the silver taels captured alone exceeded 800,000 taels!

Combined with valuable items such as gold beads and jewelry, as well as grain and grass, etc., the value of the spoils of war is definitely more than 1.4 million taels in general.

This is the number that Yang He preliminarily calculated.

Grain and grass are left directly in Shouzhou, and they are not wanted. The silver was left for 300,000 taels and Shouzhou, and all the jewelry was handed over to the person to deal with. The remaining 500,000 taels of silver, according to Zhao Yu's promise in Shanhaiguan, were all owned by the soldiers.

However, 10,000 people, on average, each person has fifty taels of silver, and this kind of harvest is simply ecstatic.

Not to mention anything else, at this time alone, the regular soldiers in the Ming Army have a month's salary, at most, one or two taels. Fifty taels of silver, that's at least two years' military salary!

You have to pay the full amount.

In fact, among these soldiers, there are definitely a few who have seen fifty taels of silver at one time. And only if you have an officer.

Zhao Yu fulfilled his promise, and even did not hesitate to waste some time to distribute silver taels outside the city. The intention was to show the soldiers that he, Zhao Yu, was good at what he said.

So the morale was high.

Victory, and silver, is a source of morale.

As for honor, not yet. It takes a lot of time to count the combat exploits of the whole army. At present, the war is not over, so we can only press it down first, and after the five battalions of the left side of the revolution are wiped out, we can only talk about meritorious deeds.

Then the army marched and went straight to Huoqiu.

...

Huang Degong is a face-saving person. In other words, people with a little status do not have no shame.

Zhao Yu trampled Huang Degong's face under his feet in broad daylight, in front of so many people, this kind of humiliation, not to mention that Huang Degong is a martial artist, he can endure it again, and he can't stand it.

So he wants revenge.

As for the general trend of the world and the safety of the imperial court, what is that?

However, what made Huang Degong feel aggrieved was that when he was about to deal with Zhao Yu, he found that the military camp outside Huaiyuan was empty.

But Huang Degong is not a person who is good at giving up. Of course, it is a matter of personal honor and disgrace and interests, and it must never be given up. As for the rest, let's talk about it.

So he sent someone to track the traces of Zhao Yu's army, and then found a way to give Zhao Yu a knife.

When people are angry and angry, they are often irrational.

Huang Degong never thought that even if he stabbed Zhao Yu in the back, would he ever be able to kill Zhao Yu? If he couldn't kill him, what would be the consequences?

Huang Degong, known as Huang Chuang'er, is a hot-tempered and impulsive person, and he will not think so far.

Especially the next thing, which made him think that God helped.

The old man of the central cabinet actually sent people here!

I thought it was a crime, but after all, being a thief has a weak heart, and Huang Degong has done a lot of things that have no conscience. Or thought that he would be ordered to cooperate with Zhao Yu to suppress the thief.

Unexpectedly, the old cabinet of the court asked him to drag Zhao Yu back.

even hinted to him that he would kill Zhao Yu if he had the chance.

How can Huang Degong not rejoice?

At the moment, he promised to offer a sum of silver taels and send people away, so his heart was greatly lifted, and he summoned left and right, and sent a large number of people who did not collect it at night and went to track the traces of Zhao Yu's army.

With the support of the old cabinet of the DPRK, what are you afraid of?

Seeing Jin Wuxi falling, Huang Degong was a little impatient to wait. Finally, there is a scout reward.

"Zhao Yu went down to Shouzhou in a battle, killed the old man and returned to Ma Shouying, and captured nearly 30,000 prisoners. ”

Huang Degong was dumbfounded.

So fast?!

Impossible!

When he went to Zhao Yu's camp, he secretly observed. Although Zhao Yu has many soldiers, there are 50,000. However, he did not carry heavy siege equipment. Neither trebuchets nor cannons were nowhere to be seen.

Although Nashouzhou doesn't say anything about the strong city in the world, the city wall is also two zhang high, especially after falling into the control of the thieves, it has also been heightened and reinforced.

How can you take a city without heavy equipment?

And in such a short period of time ?!

Huang Degong naturally didn't know that Zhao Yu attacked the city not with equipment, but with an iron cone in his hand. As for not carrying heavy siege equipment, the reason was simple - it slowed down the march.

The siege of Kaifeng is critical, and the thieves happen to gather slightly, all in the Huanghuai area. If you don't take this opportunity to catch all the thieves and wait for the thieves to scatter, it will be a big trouble.

Besides, the prince went to Kaifeng in person, which made Zhao Yu not very relieved. In the hands of the prince, there are not a large number of elite soldiers available, and the rest of the local armies are all inconspicuous rabble, which is not much different from the thief, in case of an accident, put the prince in danger, which Zhao Yu does not want to see. It is necessary to deal with Ge Zuo and Xian thieves as soon as possible, so as to outflank the north and hit Kaifeng.

Therefore, Zhao Yu's army is all lightly armed and simple. None of the heavy equipment should be carried.

If you change to someone else, you can't carry it without it, because the siege is a big trouble after all.

And without heavy equipment, you will be in a weak position against the cannons and heavy weapons of the upper thieves.

But Zhao Yu is not worried about these.

Siege, there is an iron cone.

The thief's heavy weapon, Zhao Yu also has his own way to deal with it - very simple. Only one person and one horse, kill the general and go in, destroy the thief's heavy weapon directly, and then the army covers and kills, why worry?

That's why Huang Degong was puzzled.

Although Zhao Yu cleaned him up like a chicken cub, he never thought that Zhao Yu could break the city with the power of one person.

When Huang Degong heard the letter, his face darkened.

I was annoyed again.

If he had known that Zhao Yu was attacking Shouzhou, he secretly fell on it, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack from behind, how good it would be.

In fact, Huang Degong is unmatched in his bravery in addition to fighting against the wind, and if you want to talk about wisdom, he really doesn't have it. Zhao Yu led the army to Fengyang, and if he was a slightly more sensitive general, he would be able to guess Zhao Yu's goal.

But his mind didn't turn a corner.

The fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution is in Fengyang, and the army of people is coming, is it a tourist?

At this time, Huang Degong's brain finally turned, and he hurriedly asked, "Then where is Zhao Yu now?"

He said: "Back to the general soldier, Zhao Yu only left 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard Shouzhou and take care of the prisoners. The rest of the army should have gone to Huoqiu. ”

"When?"

"It's past noon. ”

When Huang Degong heard this, he stood up and paced anxiously, and after a while, he had to sigh: "It's really angry with me!"

There is nothing to be done about it.

Fengyang to Shouzhou, there are 100 miles. And Shouzhou to Huoqiu, there are still 100 miles. It was already dusk, and if he chased after him with a large army, he would have to walk for three or four days for two hundred miles.

By then, the daylilies will be cold!
