Chapter 177 Hengma is immediately majestic

How to deal with these issues of Zhu Cang's army surrender, Chen Ying was also very distressed. If, according to Li Shimin's opinion, he was directly reorganized into Tang Army soldiers, emotionally speaking, Chen Ying was unwilling to do so. Zhu Cang's subordinates may not all be scum and scum, but there are many soldiers who have followed Zhu Cang to eat human flesh.

Whether these cannibalistic soldiers were born out of instinct or coercion, it could not change the fact that they had already eaten people. In Chen Ying's heart, people can die of illness, old age, death, starvation, or even scare to death, but what Chen Ying can't accept the most is that people will be eaten like food.

What's more, cannibalism is like drug addiction, but after getting wet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to quit, Chen Ying really can't imagine that the robe that gets along day and night will accidentally become the food in the other party's belly.

Just when Chen Ying was thinking about how to deal with these ogres under Zhu Cang's command, Zhou Chengdong had already completed his masterpiece.

Zhou Chengdong asked the craftsman to build a wooden cage and fixed Zhu Cang's hands with iron nails, and the palms of Zhu Cang's hands at this time were inserted by four iron nails, and the sudden severe pain made Zhu Cang's face distorted and became more hideous.

Chen Ying didn't expect that Zhu Cang would be able to burst out into the last madness in this situation, and he actually used his tongue to push out the stinky socks stuffed into his mouth. You must know that this is not acting on TV, the socks stuffed in his mouth have broken the limit, and when Zhu Cang pushed out the stinky socks in his mouth, the corners of his mouth were also dripping with blood.

Zhu Cang could only let out a murderous sound from his throat: "With this little ability, if you want to make this king succumb, there is no door!" ”

"You're wrong!" Chen Ying pointed at Zhu Cang, who was stunned, with an extremely disdainful look on his face: "General Ben has no interest in making you submit, General Ben has only one purpose, which is to let you die, let you die in regret, despair and pain." ”

Zhou Chengdong chattered evilly and said, "Do you really think that the Lord will execute you in such a simple way?" ”

Zhu Cang roared with all his might: "Isn't it? ”

Zhou Chengdong chattered and laughed, and then asked someone to pull a fishing net, which was tightly pulled by the two soldiers and strangled on Zhu Cang's body. At this time, Zhou Chengdong opened the package that had been carrying him on his back, the packages were all knives, large and small, of different lengths, there were common boning knives and ring knives, but more were uncommon knives.

The smile on Zhou Chengdong's face became thicker and thicker, and it became more and more weird, and he took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing, the blade was about four inches long, and with the handle, it was only six fingers long. I could barely hold the knife between two fingers.

Chen Ying felt very familiar, this seemed to be the scalpel of the later generations, but it was not quite like it. The scalpel is also three points larger than this one.

Zhou Chengdong took out the wine gourd on his waist, poured a few large sips of wine, and then sprayed the wine in his mouth on the knife. The knife in Zhou Chengdong's hand flashed with cold light, and a piece of meat that was almost as thick and high as brushing mutton was peeled off from Zhu Cang's body, and even when Zhou Chengdong put the meat slice on the plate, blood appeared on the wound at this time.

Zhu Cang's face instantly became.

Chen Ying said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Jialou, how do you feel, this punishment is called Ling Chi, that is, a thousand knives, if Zhou Chengdong lets you die before three thousand six hundred knives, he will be punished, of course, if three thousand six hundred knives do not die, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" ”

Because of Zhou Chengdong's knife skills, Zhu Cang's tolerance for pain is extremely strong, but he snorted at this time and said: "So it's mysterious, it's just circumcision, haven't you seen it when this king has not?" ”

"I hope you'll be able to laugh later!" Chen Ying stretched out his hand and gently patted Zhu Cang's face, and said coldly: "Enjoy it!" ”

Saying that, Chen Ying really couldn't watch such a bloody scene.

……

The soldiers of Zhu Cang's army were tied with cowhide ropes, and they were locked in tents in teams by team. Chen Ying thought about it, and finally couldn't wait to put all the captives to death. Just like in Cao Zijian's poem: "It is born from the same root, so why be too anxious to fry each other." "If these captives are Hu people and commit the heinous crime of cannibalism, Chen Ying naturally doesn't mind cutting off the heads of these captives and building them into a capital city.

However, most of the soldiers under Zhu Cang's command were ordinary peasants, either coerced or forced by life. To be precise, none of the crimes they committed were original sins.

Chen Ying finally decided: "Evil must be punished, coercion is lenient", these troops under the command of Zhu Zheng have no untouched people in their hands, as long as they take the initiative to eat people or instigate cannibalism, there is no emotion to talk about, and they will be killed directly. As for the captives who were forced to eat people, Chen Ying planned to send them to the gold mines, where they would be mined until they died of old age.

After Chen Ying thought of this method, he gave orders to Zhou Qing and Guo Luo for a while, and at this time, Zhou Qing and Guo Luo took Chen Ying's personal guards and scattered to various prisoner tents.

"General Chen has an order, only punish the first evil, threaten to avoid death, report the first evil, and avoid death after verification."

Hearing this, the captives immediately boiled. Many of the captives had their hearts hung in the air since the moment they laid down their weapons, not knowing how the Don Army would deal with them. Hearing this, they naturally couldn't count the first evil, but those first evildoers hung their heads and trembled.

These captive soldiers began to scramble to report the first evil to the Tang soldiers, and of course, it was inevitable that they would bite and frame each other. However, Chen Ying finally killed only more than 300 people who were the first evil, and the 2,700 cannibal captives who were reported were shackled by the Tang soldiers and held in solitary confinement.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"General Chen is exempt from courtesy!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What does General Chen plan to do with these prisoners?" ”

"Oh, only punish the evil, and threaten to avoid death!" Chen Ying handed the pamphlet that he had just sorted out in his hand to Li Shimin, and then explained: "The minister has executed all the more than 300 officers above the rank of captain among the Zheng army's captives, and more than 2,700 of the remaining have already eaten people. ”

Li Shimin nodded, Chen Ying only killed more than 300 people, for this result, Li Shimin is still very satisfied, killing more than 300 people is not even killing prisoners, he can even kill these more than 300 prisoners with a stroke of a pen, and directly change the battlefield to capture.

The key is that for these more than 13,000 prisoners, Li Shimin can also select thousands of soldiers from these more than 10,000 prisoners, and if he selects some young and strong people from among the people, he can make up thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.

Li Shimin also knew that the time was urgent, and without pause, he immediately ordered Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan to take over these prisoners.

When Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan left, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, and Shan Xiongxin were left in the tent. Suddenly, Li Shimin stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ying's hand, walked to the door of the tent, and looked at the rain curtain outside the tent: "General Chen, King Gu hopes that you can advance and retreat with Gu. ”

Chen Ying was stunned, Li Shimin is too straightforward, right?

Li Shimin would win over himself Chen Ying had been mentally prepared, but he was so straightforward to win over Chen Ying, but Chen Ying didn't expect it. Chen Ying didn't look at Li Shimin's eyes, but looked back at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, as well as the eldest grandson Wuji, Chen Ying secretly wondered who came up with this bad idea.

Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, Chen Ying shook his head. Although the eldest grandson Wuji does not have great wisdom, he is not short of small wisdom, such a non-black and white choice, the eldest grandson Wuji should not be so determined.

In fact, Chen Ying has been forced into a dead end by Li Shimin at this time, can Chen Ying agree to take refuge in Li Shimin and betray Li Jiancheng? Chen Ying is really not that kind of person, Chen Ying's style of dealing with people has always respected me, and I make people feel good. Although Li Jiancheng once had an unpleasant relationship with Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng couldn't accept Chen Ying's betrayal of Li Jiancheng emotionally for Chen Ying's acquaintance and kindness. 、

In desperation, Chen Ying had no choice but to pretend to be confused: "The minister doesn't understand what His Royal Highness King Qin means!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a slight disappointment in his eyes, but this look of not being disappointed still disappeared in a flash.

Li Shimin let go of Chen Ying's hand, pointed in the direction of Luoyang City, and said loudly: "General Chen, now Luoyang is a piece of fat, Wang Shichong is a dead fish, do you want to return in vain?" ”

Chen Ying said seriously: "The minister is not reconciled!" ”

"Lonely is not reconciled!" Li Shimin said: "So Gu rejected my father's proposal to withdraw from the army!" ”

Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin in surprise and said: "Dou Jiande's army will be ten days fast, and half a month will be slow, and it will inevitably arrive under Luoyang City, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, is it absolutely sure that Luoyang City will be captured in ten days or half a month?" ”

"Can't do it!" Li Shimin sighed and said: "Luoyang City has thick walls, let alone ten days, even if it is half a month, Gu is not absolutely sure of the capture." ”

"Yes, but Dou Jiande is still coming too fast!" Chen Ying picked up a chopstick, broke it off, and used the chopsticks as sharp as a pointed tip to draw a schematic map of the surroundings of Luoyang in the place.

Chen Ying asked without raising his head, "How much time will it take for His Royal Highness King Qin to conquer Luoyang City?" ”

"With the current strength, it will be three months at most, and half a year at the slow!" Li Shimin said: "A few days ago, Luoyang City caught fire, burning down a lot of houses, including a granary, according to reliable information, the grain in Luoyang City, only 300,000 stone. ”

"Three hundred thousand stones? So little? Chen Ying was very strange, could it be that in order to rescue Shan Xiongxin's family last time, he accidentally burned down a granary. In fact, as early as the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Li Mi attacked Luoyang, when there were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the eastern capital, with a population of nearly 800,000. Although fleeing or dying over the years, the population of Luoyang will still not be less than 300,000, and with the army, the population of Luoyang City is nearly 400,000. The grain in Luoyang City is actually less than one stone per capita, which means that within three months, Luoyang will run out of food.

Li Shimin's intention was to surround Luoyang City, exhaust the grain in Luoyang City, and if there was no grain and grass outside, Luoyang would be able to attack itself.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "If Luoyang wants to take Luoyang, the minister has a way!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "What way?" ”

Chen Ying pointed to the simple topographic map just drawn on the ground and said: "Luoyang City is surrounded by four guards, there are many Xiongguan, the situation is dangerous, and there are eight passes around Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin!" ”

Li Shimin nodded. For the map of Luoyang, in fact, Li Shimin didn't need to look at it at all, the topographic map around Luoyang had already been installed in his mind. Hangu Pass is in the west of Luoyang, Dou Jiande can't fly over it at all, and the four passes of Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, and Yuyuan are mainly to guard against enemy threats from the south or southeast, so Dou Jiande, unless he is sick in the head, will turn around for thousands of miles to bypass the southern route.

At this time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji all surrounded them, and Chen Ying and the other five squatted on the ground without any image. Everyone looked at the map drawn by Chen Ying.

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Chen Yingdao: "The revolving door is closed? ”

Chen Ying nodded and said: "If Dou Jiande wants to arrive in Luoyang, he only has one way, from Xingyang to pass through the Tiger Prison, break through the revolving gate, and break through the pass. The minister led the left and right guards of the East Palace plus the left and right divisions, 25,000 soldiers and horses, and could hold to ensure that the revolving gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, Tiger Prison Pass, and Siguan were not lost within half a year. ”

Twenty-five thousand troops sound like a lot, but if you have to defend four levels separately and divide them evenly, there are only five or six thousand men and horses in one level, which is really not a lot.

Li Shimin thought about it, he now has these 10,000 prisoners, plus the remnants of the Minfu Alliance, how can he reorganize 30,000 troops, it is naturally impossible for these 30,000 troops to completely surround Luoyang City, but now Wang Shichong does not dare him to fight, at this time, Li Shimin can also transfer the Hedong Army to the south, or ask for help from Luoyang.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "If you talk about the horizontal sword, you are majestic, and there is only General Chen." ”

"But!" At this moment, Chen Ying said suddenly.

"But what?" Li Shimin's heart tightened.

Chen Yingdao: "The hook and sickle lancers under the command of the minister, the war horses are completely damaged, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin can send 15,000 war horses to the Tiger Prison Pass, then the minister will dare to make a military order!" ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Yes, King Gu will ask his father for a decree to transfer the war horses from Chang'an Shanglin Horse Farm, but this will take half a month at the earliest!" ”

"As long as it is within a month, it doesn't matter if the war horse arrives at the Tiger Prison Pass!" Chen Ying said again: "The minister also wants to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to grant the minister the right to make a decision on the spot!" ”

"It's up to you!" Li Shimin said without hesitation.

Chen Ying said again: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin not to believe the rumors, unless you see the body of the minister with your own eyes, or see Dou Jiande's army arrive at Luoyang City, don't believe the news of the surrender or defection of the minister!" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's all up to you!" ”

Chen Ying no longer hesitated: "The minister will take the head of Xiang Shangshang and Hou Mo Chen's family as a guarantee, if you can't keep the four passes, I am willing to come and see you!" ”
