Chapter 46, Kill Without Pardon

Zhaojun defeated Zhao Meng's army, successfully recaptured Wangping County, and successfully recruited several of Zhao Meng and his subordinate generals. When his troops were beaten and escaped before, they knew that Zu Zhao ordered not to hold them accountable and would subsidize them, they returned to Wangping County one after another to be surrendered.

At this point, Zu Zhao's original 20,000 expedition troops have now incorporated Zhao Meng's army, and the number has suddenly increased to 30,000, and the momentum is even greater. However, the resulting food and grass problem has also become something that Zu Zhao must face. The grain and grass they brought before is only enough for 20,000 troops in a month.

Later, I opened the Wangping grain warehouse and found that there was enough food in it. It turned out that after Zhao Meng captured Wangping County, he arrested the county magistrate. He took several subordinates to see the grain warehouse, did not open the warehouse to release grain, and did not allow the soldiers to mess around, so the things inside were proudly preserved. Zu Zhao was overjoyed and praised Zhao Meng again.

The county magistrate is very popular with the people here. Although he can't resist Zhao Meng's attack, this is inevitable. Zhao Meng's army is so powerful that there are only more than 1,000 people guarding Wangping County. After choosing symbolic resistance, the county magistrate chose to surrender. Zu Zhao felt that there was nothing wrong with this practice. A thousand people fought against 10,000 people. No matter how strong the city is, it is impossible to resist it. Choosing sincerity is actually a wise choice. Therefore, Zu Zhao still asked him to be the county magistrate here and issued a series of measures to appease the people, exempting all taxes from the people in the coming year, and will send people to help them continue to repair water conservancy projects, so that planting water shortages or rainy season floods will not become a problem.

After knowing that Zu Zhao had made such a series of measures to appease the people, Zhao Meng was also very impressed. He knew that Zu Zhao was indeed a good county guard general who thought for the people. Compared with him, Zhao Ci was indeed much more cruel. Everywhere he went was to search for the stock of the people for the army's grain and grass reserves, and the people dared to be angry. I dare not say.

In addition to appeasing the people, Zu Zhao also ordered the army to rest for a whole day in Wangping County and send troops to Xinchang another day to fight for mercy. He set iron rules for the army. During this rest period, all soldiers are not allowed to disturb the lives of the people, live in the people's homes at night, organize training during the day, and harass the people. Whoever does something unfavorable to the people will be killed without mercy.

There were two people, the little commander, who belonged to Zhao Meng's relatives. On this day, the two toured the street and came to a river. They were about to stop and rest. Suddenly, a basin of water splashed down and looked up, but it was a girl like a flower. She looked tender, white and beautiful, and the god was charming.

The subordinates of the vanguard commander who had been killed by Ma Yuan before, followed the commander a lot of things, but they were protected by the leader, and Zhao Ci also turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, because Zhao Ci himself did not do such things less, and that Ling is also happy about this kind of thing.

Now when the two see such a girl upstairs, their evil thoughts arise again. Think about it, since Zhao Meng entered this city, Zhao Meng also ordered not to mess around and suffer from the face of the great enemy. At that time, they had no time to go out to hunt for beauty. Now they have been hit by such beautiful women, and how can they be let go?

The two looked at each other and walked upstairs. When the woman saw a military man coming up, she knew that it was because she had just splashed their water, so she hurried to apologize. She knew that Zu Zhao ordered not to harass the people, and the soldiers did take care of the people these days. They slept on the street at night and refused to knock on the door to enter the people's home. Now that the military master came up, she didn't expect that she would encounter something wrong.

But when she came forward, the two military masters tampered with her. The girl was absolutely wrong and ran away shyly. But the two of them have been beaten up, and how can they let her go like this, and there is no one else in this place. The two were not afraid of anything. They immediately rushed forward to pull out the girl. One covered her mouth, the other hugged her body and pressed her to the ground.

The girl struggled, but how could she move? She is a weak woman, and those two are the commanders who have killed people. Just as the woman's clothes were taken off, an old woman suddenly came out of the room. Seeing such a scene, she was shocked, shouted for help, and rushed up to fight with the two people.

One of them waved his hand and pushed him out of the building and fell directly into the river below. After solving the old woman, the two continued to rape the woman. At this moment, a cargo ship was passing by in the river. When he saw an old man falling downstairs, he hurriedly rescued him. The old man pointed to the upstairs and said, "Save my granddaughter." After saying that, he died of breath.

Four or five people on the ship heard the woman calling for help from time to time, and hurriedly picked up the wooden pole and rushed up. When they went upstairs, they saw that the two were violent against a woman. They shouted loudly, waved the pole and rushed up, directly beating the two. Then the two stopped being violent to the woman and fought back.

They were so good that they quickly knocked over a few people who rushed up with their bare hands. When several kind-hearted people saw the clothes on the ground, they knew that they were actually soldiers, and they secretly shouted in their hearts. The two knew that the matter was exposed, and they were afraid that they would reveal it to Zu Zhao, so they were murderous, pulled out a knife, and cut several people randomly. Several people fled for their lives in a panic. Three of them were immediately cut to the ground. The other two stumbled downstairs. In the corridor, another person was hacked to death, and one of them was kicked in the back. The butterfly flew directly to the first floor, and blood suddenly flowed in his mouth and nose.

He chased after the two behind him, got up in a hurry, shouted and fled out, shouting for help. As soon as he escaped from the door, the river suddenly splashed everywhere. After a while, a woman floated up and found that the humiliated woman had jumped into the river and died.

The man was shocked, looked back and fled to the street. The latter two still refused to let him go and quickly chased after him. The man fled to the street in panic and saw a team patrolling in front of him, calling for help to escape to them.

It turned out that the patrol team was a small detachment led by Ma Yuan. He was ordered by Zu Zhao to lead the team to inspect in person to see if there were any soldiers bullying the people or street bullies or something. Ma Yuan suddenly heard someone calling for help in front of him and hurriedly greeted him and asked what was going on.

The man grabbed Ma Yuan's arm, knelt down and cried. Ma Yuan helped him up and asked why he was so panicked and if something had happened. The man nodded, rescued his brother and companions the old man, and saw the soldier violence against a woman upstairs. The soldier later said about their pursuit.

Hearing this, Ma Yuan was furious and shouted. He saw that two untidy people came with knives not far away. He gave up the man and rushed straight forward to get the two people. When the two saw that it was Ma Yuan, the vanguard general under Zu Zhao, they panicked and knew that the enemy could not defeat him, so they turned around and ran away.

Ma Yuan roared and chased them up. After 20 steps, he chased them. The two of them didn't give up and raised their knives. Ma Yuan did not draw a knife and rushed directly. Before their knife was cut, he punched one of them down, and then flew up and kicked the other one a meter away. In just one round, the two commanders were knocked down by Ma Yuan.

After defeating the two, Ma Yuan ordered someone to salvage the woman's body in the river, while sending someone to check the injured people in the building, and he took them directly back to see Zu Zhao. When he entered the county government, he didn't inform him, but rushed in directly with the two of them.

Zu Zhao was currently studying with Su De how to attack Xinchang. Zhao Meng was also listening. Suddenly, he heard a roar outside and looked up, but it was Ma Yuan who came in with the two. He threw the two directly to the ground and said angrily, "Zhao Meng, look, this is your subordinate, your soldier."

Zhao Meng was puzzled and asked what was going on. Zu Zhao's face changed color and said, "Pingyi, don't be rude. What the hell is going on?"

"What's going on? General, let them say for themselves what they have done. With a snip, he pulled out the knife and stood aside angrily, staring at the two people with round eyes. Zu Zhao and others were puzzled and quickly asked what was going on with the two people.

The two looked at each other and said what they had done tremblingly. Then the two knelt down in pain and kowtowed, saying that they had drunk. They were confused for a moment before doing such a thing, hoping that Zu Zhao could spare them this time.

Zu Zhao heard this and was furious. He slapped them in the face and shouted, "Come on, drag these two guys out and kill them."

When the words fell, four people immediately rushed in and escorted the two out. When the two heard that Zu Zhao was going to kill them, they had been scared for a long time. They didn't expect that they were going to die like this. They cried and broke free from the bodyguard, hugged Zhao Meng's thigh and said that they knew they were wrong. They hoped that Zhao Meng could help them plead for mercy. In the future, they would definitely kill the enemy and rush to the front line, and never dare to do so again.

Zhao Meng was very sad. His subordinates or his relatives did such a thing, and he had no face to face Zu Zhao. He looked up to the sky and said quietly, "If you do evil, you can't live." After saying that, he kicked them away.

Zu Zhao shouted and said, "Blash them with the warrior's sticks, then pull them out to show off the street, and then drag them to the vegetable market to kill them. I will kill them in person." Unexpectedly, such abusing women and killing the people happened. Zu Zhao felt that it was too cheap to kill them two like this, which not only could not calm his anger, but also could not calm the anger of the people. If the people had a misunderstanding, they thought that they were good people on the surface, but in fact, they condoned their subordinates to make trouble to the people.

The two were pushed out, and there was a whole sound of beating and a howling cry from outside. The two were beaten with fifty military sticks and died of pain. After that, they were taken to a prison van and dragged to the middle of the street to show the public.
