Chapter 73 To Live to Death
"Where is Liu Yaoben?" After he camped outside the city, Xiao Tianjian immediately asked Luo Yingjie, who came to greet him.
"General Qi, General Liu Xiao is leading his troops to cross the river to chase Wang Shaoyu's troops. After hearing the news of Zu Kuan's great defeat yesterday, Wang Shaoyu fled in the direction of Yiyang overnight. General Liu then led his troops to cross the Luo River and launched a pursuit of it. This time, he should have gained something again! He sent someone back to report the news. Please don't worry, General!" Luo Yingjie replied to Xiao Tianjian with a smile on his face.
After Xiao Tianjian looked at the south of the county, there was also a smile on his face. He smiled at Luo Li and others and said, "This guy dares not give him a chance. As long as he gives him a chance, he will take the opportunity to fight!" But this guy and the teaching camp did a good job this time! He stabilized the way out for us and didn't let us worry about it!"
Luo Li and others also nodded with a smile and said yes. Originally, their veterans were not very optimistic about Liu Yaoben's group of young boys. They thought that Xiao Tianjian's establishment of this teaching camp was superfluous. The war was a matter for these strong men. With these milky boys, how can they do it, so although the table On the surface, they are on an equal footing with the teaching battalion, but they still look at them more or less in their hearts. However, after this incident, they find that these little guys can't be underestimated at all. The fierceness of the war is no worse than that of the soldiers in the barracks, and even more desperate. Some!
On the way back, they also heard about what happened in Yongning County. If they let them stay in the county this time, they will not necessarily do better than Liu Yaoben, the little guys. Hundreds of people defeated two enemy troops that were far more than them, and killed the enemy's defeat and escaped. Many, and when they were not here, they caught Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an, who was hiding in the city. Although they defeated Zu Kuan's headquarters this time, in terms of merit, the teaching camp was not much smaller than their two battalions.
What's more, the teaching battalion is smaller than their two war battalions, and they are not equipped with battalion gun squads, so they fight so beautifully, so these guys put away their contempt for the teaching camp in their hearts, but began to regard the teaching camp as one with the same status as them. Strength.
"Send someone to catch up with Liu Yaoben and tell him that he has chased him. Wang Shaoyu has been scared to death, and it doesn't mean much to chase him again! What's more, Zu Kuan's remnants are also in Yiyang now. Don't chew too much, but they will turn over and bite again! After receiving my order, I asked him to come back immediately. There are still a lot of things on our side. We have to be busy! Let's go! Let's go to the city to meet Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an! Let's also see what's the difference between these royal relatives and ordinary people!" Xiao Tianjian shook his head with a smile and then ordered.
Not long after, Tietou immediately sent a horse to set out in the direction of chasing the enemy by Liu Yaoben, while Xiao Tianjian took the generals into the city and directly came to the county government where Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an, was imprisoned.
King Wan'an sat in a trance in a dark and smelly dungeon. He never thought that he would enter such a place once when he took a photo. These days, the days of hiding in fear made him almost collapse his spirit. At this time, he had no idea in his mind, and he looked like he was at his fate. Son.
And his two teenage sons were crying in the next cell, and the soldiers of the Xing Tianjun were also closely watching them in the dungeon.
Xiao Tianjian strode into the dungeon with his generals and came to the door of Zhu Cai's cell. Someone immediately opened the iron lock with a bang and picked a lantern into the cell.
When King Wan'an heard someone coming in, his body trembled involuntarily. Suddenly, his mind seemed to have returned to his body. He immediately cried, sat desperately on the wet and cold ground and rubbed against the corner of the wall, and shouted, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Help! I'm the prince, you can't kill me! Please, I don't want anything. Everything in the royal palace will be given to you. Please let me live!"
When Xiao Tianjian and the generals saw such an embarrassed Zhu Cai, they couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile. They thought that his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was also a world-class hero, but when it came to their generation, his descendants were so incompetent that they couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
"What's the difference between me being a relative of the emperor! It's just a fat man, just like a nose and two eyes, not more than others! Humph! It's really nothing to see! Pull it out and cut it. What's the use of leaving such a rice bucket? Luo Li looked down curiously at Zhu Cai, who was squeezing in the corner of the wall, and said with a sneer.
After listening to this, Zhu Cai cried even more vigorously and waved his hands and shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" I let you take everything. Please let me go! ......”
Xiao Tianjian looked at Zhu Cai's bear and shook his head secretly. This time, he took his men to see the captured prince, just to satisfy the curiosity of his generals. As for himself, he actually has no curiosity about this embarrassed prince. After all, he, as a traveler, has never The sense of respect for the royal relatives will never feel the pleasure of stepping on such a person under his feet like others.
Luo Li and others surrounded Zhu Cai as if watching a monkey. They quarreled and simply pulled him out and cut him down, so as not to waste food.
But Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "Okay! Just look at it. You should also satisfy your vanity! Let's all go out! I have my own considerations on how to deal with this guy. You should go back immediately, arrange for the troops to take a rest, choose a compound in the city as a medical camp, move the injured brothers into the city, let them take a good rest, and return to the team as soon as possible! In addition, Situ Liang, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard. The thief in Yidougu is not dead. This time, taking advantage of the emptiness of our troops, he actually led his troops to steal the city. We must not spare this guy. He immediately dispatched the scouts of each battalion, plus the cavalry of your headquarters, to explore the wheres of this guy. Since he did so, he would simply give it to him this time. Cut the grass and eradicate it, so that he will fill in the trouble for us again!"
The generals' curiosity has also been satisfied at this time. There is nothing worth paying attention to whether to kill Zhu Cai or not. They have nothing to say about how Xiao Tianjian dealt with Zhu Cai and his son, so they turned out of the cell one after another and went down and began to be busy.
And only Xiao Tianjian, Tietou and Luo Yingjie were left in the cell. Luo Yingjie quickly got a stool for Xiao Tianjian and asked Xiao Tianjian to sit down.
Zhu Cai looked at the thief sitting in front of him through the hair scattered on his face. Suddenly, he struggled from the corner of the room and rushed to Xiao Tianjian. The iron head was shocked. He stepped forward and kicked Zhu Cai back into the corner of the room and scolded, "Get down! If you dare to move again, I will cut you with a knife!"
Zhu Cai cried with a runny nose and tears. He curled up in the corner of the room, struggled and quickly knelt on the ground. He kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian repeatedly and said, "This general, please forgive me!" I haven't done anything. I'm on my own. I haven't done anything bad. Please forgive me, general!"
Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "Have you ever done anything bad? Humph! Let me ask you, didn't you force your tenants to hand over food in Huangzhuang? Haven't you ever watched your tenant starve to death? Didn't you allow your men to rob the people? In this big Yongning County, you alone occupy nearly half of the good land. How many people are forced to die by you? Do you dare to say that you have never done anything bad?
After hearing this, Zhu Cai felt wronged. In his opinion, he was born to be superior. These lands were left by his ancestors. It was a natural thing for the people to work and pay food for him. As for even if his men robbed the people's women, this is nothing. In his opinion, when these women came to his palace, they should It's time to enjoy happiness. It's much better than marrying a poor man!
But he didn't dare to talk back. He even claimed to be guilty and begged Xiao Tianjian to spare his life. Xiao Tianjian looked at his expression and knew that he was not convinced, but he didn't bother to argue with this man. Now it's bullshit to talk to these people about everyone's equality. From beginning to end, there is no such thing as equality in China. Now To say this to him is equivalent to playing the piano to a cow.
So he lowered his head and stared at Zhu Cai and asked him, "Let's not talk about this. Since I rebel, your Zhu family is our enemy. You should have been killed and pulled down with a knife, but I think you don't want to die, so if you don't want to die, there is a way to die. Let me ask you, do you want to die or not? "
Zhu Cai was already desperate. When he heard that Xiao Tianjian said that he didn't want to die, there was still a chance, so he quickly wiped the snot tears on his face and nodded and said, "General, general, I don't want to die. You can do whatever you want me to me. As long as you don't kill me, I can do anything!"
Xiao Tianjian looked at Zhu Cai lying in front of him and begged for mercy like a pug, so he laughed...
