Chapter 111: Forced to Surrender
For a long time, there was silence in the tent.
Whether it was Xiong Hu, the Pingyu Monarch, or the rest of the general-level Chu captives, they were all frightened by Zhao Hongrun's decisiveness.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun slowly spoke: "Is there no one who wants to die anymore?" In that case, let's talk about surrendering to this king. โฆโฆ Whoever is willing to throw himself on the king, let him come forward. โ
These captives of the Chu State looked at each other when they heard this, although no one spoke out again, but they did not take the slightest action, just looked at Zhao Hongrun silently.
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Isn't anyone willing to take the initiative to step forward?" Then the king had to be named one by one......"
With that, he raised his hand and pointed at the Chu captive on the far left in front of him and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?" โ
I saw that the Chu State captive glanced at Zhao Hongrun with cold eyes, and there was still a bit of indignation in his eyes, as if he had turned a deaf ear and ignored Zhao Hongrun's inquiry.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't say much: "Kill!" โ
"Wei Jiao."
Bailiba pointed at Zong Wei Weijiao.
The latter understood, and like Shen Yu of Fang Cai, stepped forward and pulled the Chu prisoner out.
I saw that the Chu prisoner was dragged out by Wei Jiaosheng, his face was full of horror, and he scolded, but Wei Jiao ignored it at all, raised his knife and slashed at this person's neck.
As a result, blood splattered, and another headless corpse appeared in front of the Chu State captives.
"This ...... This ......
The Chu captives were shocked and frightened, and glared at Zhao Hongrun angrily.
However, Zhao Hongrun ignored these hostile gazes at all and pointed at the second captive: "You, are you willing to surrender?" โ
"I ...... I ......"
The Chu captive watched as two Wei soldiers dragged another headless corpse to the side, his face full of horror, and he stammered speechlessly.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun's eyes were cold: "Kill!" โ
This time there is no need to be reminded. Zong Wei Lu Mu took the initiative to step forward and dragged the Chu captive out.
"I will surrender, I will surrender ......"
Under the threat of death, the captive of the Chu State was in a state of confusion, and his face was full of horror and screamed.
Seeing this, Lu Mu hesitantly glanced back at Zhao Hongrun. saw the latter say lightly: "It's late!" โ
Hearing this, Lu Mu did not hesitate any longer, and raised his knife to cut off the captive's head.
The three of them were killed, and the remaining Chu captives looked at Zhao Hongrun with fear in their eyes.
Whoever speaks disrespectfully, kill!
Those who refuse to surrender, kill!
Those who hesitate, kill!
It is really hard to imagine that such a decisive approach to killing came from the mouth of such a young King of Great Wei Su.
Noticing the angry and frightened eyes of these Chu captives. Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "This king is not patient, and he has no time to delay for a long time...... Death or surrender, a matter of one word. โ
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at the fourth Chu captive, and asked in a deep voice, "You, do you want to surrender?" โ
Hearing this, a struggle flashed in the eyes of the Chu captive, and suddenly, he saw that Zhao Hongrun had the intention of speaking. Subconsciously thought of the fate of the previous person, and hurriedly shouted: "I am willing to surrender." I will ......"
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun's killing intent in his eyes narrowed a little: "Do you really want to surrender?" โ
I saw that the Chu captive gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
Seeing this scene, before Zhao Hongrun could speak, one of the remaining Chu captives scolded: "Duanmu Qi, you dare to turn your back on Lord Xiong Hu." Surrender the Wei people?! โ
The Chu general named Duanmu Qi lowered his head in shame when he heard this, not daring to fight back.
"Duanmu Qi ......" Zhao Hongrun muttered his name, raised his hand to the prisoner who scolded Duanmu Qi, and said to Duanmu Qi: "He scolded you, you go and kill him." โ
Hear that. Li Qi, the general of the Junshui battalion, took a knife from the soldiers beside him, walked to the side of Mu Qi, personally cut the rope tied to his body for him, and then threw the knife in his hand at his feet.
I saw that Duan Mu Qi's eyes were struggling, and he slowly bent down to pick up the knife on the ground, and looked at the colleague who had just scolded him for betraying the master with a complicated expression.
"Duanmu Qi, you ......"
"Duanmu Qi, Lord Xiong Hu is not thin on you."
"Greedy for life and afraid of death!"
The captives of the Chu State were shocked and angry, some of them were advised, and some of them were scolded.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and I saw a trace of determination flash in Mu Qi's eyes, and he actually rushed towards Zhao Hongrun with a knife in his hand.
It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun's side had already prepared, and before Duanmu Qi could take a step forward, more than a dozen crossbowmen instantly raised the crossbow they had already loaded with arrows, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Tuk-tuk-"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Qina's flesh and blood body, which had been stripped of his armor, hit more than a dozen crossbow arrows.
Two of them were the deadliest, one in the throat and the other in the heart.
"Poofโ"
A lifeless corpse slowly collapsed to the ground, blood trickling down the wound.
"Stupid!"
Bailiba snorted coldly, not surprised by this result.
He waved his hand and ordered Wei Bing to drag this person's body aside, and then turned his head to Zhao Hongrun and said, "Your Highness, I think that these people are probably not willing to surrender...... Anyway, it's useless to keep it, so it's better to simply kill them all. โ
His words suddenly made the faces of the rest of the Chu captives in the tent change greatly.
And what made them even more desperate was that the young King of Great Wei Su also seemed to approve of Bailiba's suggestion, nodded and said, "Bailiba is talking about ......"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at those Chu States and said lightly: "It's a pity, it seems that you are unwilling to surrender to this king...... Come on! โ
As soon as the words fell, more than two dozen crossbowmen poured into the tent.
I saw Zhao Hongrun raise his hand and point at Pingyujun Xiong Hu, and said in a deep voice: "Bring that Xiong Hu over, this person is still useful to keep, and the rest of the people ...... Kill! โ
When the guards heard this, they rushed forward, and dragged Pingyujun Xiong Hu out from the rest of the Chu captives who were struggling to block it with their bodies, and at the same time, more than 30 crossbowmen loaded the crossbows together, and aimed the crossbows at those general-level captives, just waiting for Zhao Hongrun to give the final order.
And just when Zhao Hongrun was about to speak. Finally, three Chu captives squirmed, forcibly squeezed their colleagues away, and shouted in their mouths.
"King Su, I am willing to surrender."
"Lord Su Wang spares his life, I am willing to surrender."
"I would like to surrender, Lord Su."
See here. Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to signal the crossbowmen to stop shooting arrows for the time being, beckoned to the three people, and motioned for them to come forward.
In the frightened eyes of the rest of the Chu captives, the three Chu generals crawled forward like a huge insect because they were tied up with ropes, and looked at Zhao Hongrun with their heads held high and expectant.
"What do you call the three?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.
"Qu ...... Qu Cheng. โ
โโฆโฆ Grains. โ
"Wu Maggio."
The three Chu captives reported their names one after another.
Before Zhao Hongrun could speak, Xiong Hu, the Pingyu Monarch who had been mentioned by the Wei soldiers near the tent, stared at him in astonishment, and muttered with an incredulous face: "You...... You ......"
At the same time, the rest of the Chu captives were also shocked.
"What's going on?"
A little puzzlement appeared on Zhao Hongrun's face.
See here. Bailiba explained in a low voice in his ear: "Your Highness, inferring from the pattern of the armor that these people have been stripped of, Na Qu Cheng is three thousand generals, and the other two are two thousand generals. โ
"Three thousand generals?" Zhao Hongrun showed a little surprise in his eyes when he heard this, and asked Qu Cheng curiously: "Are you a 3,000 general?" โ
"Yes......," Qu Cheng replied meekly.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, and thought of the two generals of the Chu army, Wu Gan and Shen Kang, who were killed by the Wei soldiers, and asked, "How are they compared to Wu Gan and Shen Kang of your army?" โ
Na Qu Cheng frowned, with a little inexplicable emotion. said in a low voice: "Wu Gan and Shen Kang are five thousand generals, and they are the confidants of Ping Yujun...... and they are the favorite generals." As if he had thought of something, he raised his head and added: "A certain self-esteem is not inferior to Wugan and Shen Kang, just because a certain person is from the surname 'Qu' and was once the general of 'Xiangchengjun', therefore, Pingyujun is unwilling to reuse me!" โ
Zhao Hongrun looked at Baili Baba curiously. It's a pity that Baili Ba didn't know anything about the affairs of Chu State, and shrugged helplessly.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked Qu Cheng: "Is there any secret in this?" โ
I saw that Qu Cheng glanced at Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Su doesn't know about my Chu State. ...... the surname "Qu" and the surname "Mi" are the same as the Xiong family, but for decades. The family surnamed Qu and the family surnamed Mi are arguing endlessly about who is the orthodoxy of the Xiong family, although a certain is only a side of the surname Qu, but it is still taboo for Mi Amber (Xiong Amber). โฆโฆ What's more, I used to be a general under the command of 'Xiang Chengjun'. โ
"Xiang Chengjun? Who is it? โ
"Xiang Chengjun Xiong Ling, the uncle and nephew of the King of Chu, is the cousin of Mi Hu in terms of seniority, only because he supports the 'Liyang Jun' Xiong Sheng, so he is jealous of Mi Tuo and Mi Hu, and the two conspire to kill Xiang Chengjun Xiong Ling......"
"Shut up!" Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu said angrily: "Qu Cheng, you don't want to spew blood!" โฆโฆ Xiong Cheng died on a woman's belly, what does it have to do with Lord Xiong Tuo and Benjun? โ
Qu Cheng sneered: "That woman is not a gift from Lord Xiong Hu to Lord Xiong Ling?" Lord Xiong Cheng was originally in good health, but the woman had only been with Master Xiong for more than a month, and Lord Xiong Cheng contracted a strange disease...... That's a coincidence, isn't it?! โ
"Your country is really in chaos......
Zhao Hongrun looked at Xiong Hu and Qu Cheng who were scolding each other with a smile, and waved his hand to signal a Wei soldier to cut the rope on Qu Cheng's body.
It can be seen that Na Qu Cheng is indeed dissatisfied with Xiong Hu, and after loosening the tie, he stood up, moved his wrist while thanking Zhao Hongrun, and did not make any radical moves.
"If you suspect that Xiong Amber killed the fiefdom lord you once sold, why would you still want to join him?" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.
Qu Cheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "I don't hide it from King Su, just because of the old lord of a certain person, Lord Xiong Cheng of Xiang Cheng was not very good to a certain person in the past, so after Xiang Chengjun died, when Xiong Tuo was the master, Xiang Cheng was placed under the rule of Pingyu Jun, so we became a subordinate of Qi Hu...... It's a pity that because of various relationships, it has been sealed to 3,000 generals for many years and cannot be reused. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Pingyujun Xiong Hu, and said coldly: "If you don't trust you, you don't deserve to die for him!" โ
Looking at Qu Cheng, who was calm, and then at Xiong Hu, who was angry, Zhao Hongrun thought in his heart.
It is true that if these 3,000 people sincerely surrendered to Qu Cheng, then his existence may be able to play a pivotal role in Zhao Hongrun's plan.
Of course, the premise is that the person is sincere and surrendered. (To be continued.) )
