Chapter 19 Liwei Hanzhong
When Hu Wei heard Tao Song's question, he lowered his head, and his two eyes instantly drizzled, and said: My name is Hu Wei, and my brother-in-law's name is Su Gu, who is the former Hanzhong Taishou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother-in-law hasn't closed his eyes for seven days in order to keep Nanzheng, but just now he ......." Hu Wei cried as he spoke, which made Tao Song, seeing Hu Wei crying heartbroken, so that he didn't know what to say, and Wang Wu next to Tao Song looked at Hu Wei and became angry.
"Shut up!" Wang Wu looked at Tao Song a little uncomfortable, but he didn't speak, which made Wang Wu have to yell at Hu Wei.
Hu Wei wanted to play the sympathy card with Tao Song, but Wang Wu yelled, he glanced up at Tao Song, and saw that Tao Song's face was a little gray, so he immediately held back his tears.
"Lord Taishou, my brother-in-law didn't close his eyes for seven days in order to keep Nanzheng, and now he has been killed by Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, please Lord Taishou make the decision for me!" Hu Wei is very smart, his words are telling Tao Song that Su Gu has hard work even if he has no merit, and now he is killed, all because of Tao Song.
Tao Song listened to Hu Wei's words and thought about Hu Wei's intentions, Su Gu guarded Nanzheng for seven days without closing his eyes, he was indeed a great character, and he was still worthy of respect, if it wasn't for Su Gu dragging Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu to fight a war of attrition here, even if he came, this war would not be easy to fight.
Tao Song looked up at the two middle-aged people standing on the side, surrounded by a group of soldiers, one was dressed in white and riding a white horse with a long sword hanging from his waist, and the other was wearing green clothes, looking a bit like a good old man, always with a smile on his face, these two people were Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu.
Tao Song has been thinking in his heart about how to kill the two of them, and the soldiers who can still surrender the two of them, are thinking of finding an excuse to use force against Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, and they must be above board, and now hearing Hu Wei's words, Tao Song is very satisfied and squints at Hu Wei.
looked up at Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, who were surrounded, and said: Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu openly killed the court officials, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he should be killed, Ben Taishou is also lenient, and only kills the first culprit Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, as long as the others put down their arms and surrender, Ben Taishou will not blame the past.
Tao Song looked at these Shuzhong soldiers, although he was his opponent now, he knew in his heart that he would march to Liu Yan sooner or later, and these soldiers would have a good effect on his surrender, so he said this sentence and broke the fighting spirit of these Shuzhong soldiers who were already tired.
As soon as Tao Song's words came out, these Shuzhong soldiers and generals who were surrounded by Tao Song's army unconsciously turned their heads to look at Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu on the side, especially the general who killed Su Gu, and was even more afraid that Tao Song would kill him.
In order to survive, he came out directly, took the Shuzhong soldiers in his hands, directly put down his weapons, knelt down to Tao Song and said: We are willing to surrender.
Someone will start and someone will follow, which made Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu dumbfounded, and the two of them also wanted to take these Shuzhong soldiers to fight with Tao Song, looking for an opportunity for themselves to escape.
It's a pity that although these people regard Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu as generals and are willing to obey their command, but that was before, and now they have completed Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu's orders, and they continue to attack Nanzheng day and night, and they have been attacking Nanzheng City for seven days and seven nights, and they are already tired, and they no longer have the morale of the past, looking at these people who surrounded them, one by one they were full of spirit with a murderous aura on their faces, they didn't want to fight anymore, and they heard that Tao Song was around their lives, and then there was a general with troops to take the lead, and some of the soldiers naturally surrendered, The fool was buried with Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu.
It didn't take long, and the soldiers in Shuzhong, except for Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu's personal soldiers, almost all laid down their arms and surrendered.
Tao Song looked at Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, who were only a few hundred people around him, and he secretly thought in his heart that these people who were willing to die with Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu were the hateful Five Doumi Sect, Lao Tzu must uproot you when he comes to Hanzhong.
"Those who surrender, lay down their weapons and fight on both sides, lest Ben Taishou do it to Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, the two wicked people who killed the court officials, and hurt the innocent, it will be a great crime!" Tao Song was serious and hung up, and when he said this, he immediately made the soldiers present laugh.
However, this did not affect Tao Song's prestige in the army, he waited for the surrendered soldiers to put down their weapons and walk away, then flicked his fingers, turned around on his horse, and patted his hands gently, and saw the soldiers in the front, left, and right sides of the three sides set up arrows at the same time, forming a salvo of ten thousand arrows, shooting at Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu hundreds of people like raindrops.
This made none of the Shuzhong soldiers who were still laughed at by Tao Song just now laugh, and they didn't nod their heads to kill people, but Tao Song directly ordered these hundreds of people to shoot into stinging foxes, not only suppressed the Shuzhong soldiers who surrendered, but also suppressed the children of the three major families of Chencang who came with Tao Song, although archery also had them, but there was already a sense of awe and fear of Tao Song in his heart.
Even Zhao Cen's Luoyang soldiers are all making trouble in their hearts, remembering that this kind and angry Taishou who talks and laughs all day long is definitely an executioner, don't treat him as a good person.
Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu watched the ten thousand arrows firing together, the pair of brothers in distress shook their heads and sighed, they were complacent just now, and now they have become the cornerstone of Tao Song Mo Ding Hanzhong, in desperation, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu embraced, both of them used their backs to block the arrows shot at them, retaining their last bit of dignity.
Hundreds of people were ordered by Tao Song to be shot with ten thousand arrows, and after waiting for hundreds of people to fall one by one, Tao Song turned to look at the people who were killed by his order at the city gate, and said to Hu Wei who was kneeling on the ground: You go to find someone to burn all these people who died in battle.
Tao Song's words are chilling, in ancient times, people died in the earth for safety, but Tao Song didn't even give the last bit of shelter for the dead, and actually ordered it to be burned with fire.
This time it made people remember Tao Song's ruthlessness, Hu Wei got Tao Song's order and climbed up, quickly went to find someone to pile up all the people killed in the battlefield and transport them away in a carriage, away from Nanzheng City, and then went to the dense forest to find dry materials to burn these corpses.
Hu Wei built a high platform on a hill ten miles away from Nanzheng City and burned people.
When Hu Wei watched the fire on the hill ignite, he secretly remembered in his heart that he must be careful in the future, otherwise even if he died, he would not be able to live in peace.
Tao Song picked up another bargain, looking at the south Zhengcheng of Hanzhong, the tall city wall and the generals and soldiers of Shuzhong who surrendered on both sides, Tao Song squinted his small eyes and glanced at these people, he didn't move, he was waiting, waiting for the officials of Hanzhong to meet him.
Nanzheng City changed several times a day, and the hundred officials of Hanzhong County, except for the military generals, were killed one by one after receiving Su Gu, and they began to think about how to keep their official positions and greet Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, but just as they were thinking about how to please Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, the private soldiers in their respective families once again reported to them that Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu were directly shot to death by Tao Songwan with arrows at the gate of Nanzheng City.
This made them all start to worry about Tao Song's attack on them, after all, most of them had unclean buttocks, and they didn't know what kind of official Tao Song was, if they were like Su Gu in order to pick up money, then they would be okay to say, but if Tao Song was an honest official, then they would be miserable.
The new official took office with three fires, but don't burn yourself, all the hundred officials in Hanzhong went to Deng's house to find Hanzhong Gong Cao Deng Zheng.
Deng Zheng looked at the hundred officials in Hanzhong, he knew that he had been harmed by these people, Lord Taishou led the troops to Nanzheng, these officials did not go to visit, but ran to him one by one, which made Deng Zheng know that the Deng family was going to bleed heavily this time, otherwise it would be terrible to not survive this pass.
"You, hey, I don't want to say anything now, now that Su Gu is dead, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu are also dead, don't you understand, our Lord Taishou, although he is young, but he is terrible and difficult to serve, you are harming me!"
Deng Zheng walked towards the city gate as he spoke, and all the officials followed behind Deng Zheng.
Tao Song rode on the back of the fire, looking at Nan Zhengcheng with the gate open, he simply closed his eyes and waited patiently, and Jia Xiang and Liu Ji beside Tao Song were snub to the hundred officials in Hanzhong, so they just found a few people to come out and establish their prestige, so that Tao Song could establish his prestige.
The hundreds of officials in Hanzhong walked out of the city gate one after another, and knelt down to Tao Song, and an old man took the lead and said: Hanzhong Gong Cao Deng is leading the hundred officials of Hanzhong to welcome Lord Taishou.
"Greetings to Lord Taishou!"
Tao Song heard the words of the hundred officials in Hanzhong, he still didn't move, he was waiting for Su Gu's brother-in-law Hu Wei, because he sent Hu Wei to burn people's corpses, and the hundred officials in Hanzhong did not come to see him for a long time, he needed a villain, let this villain be a villain, and clean up these hundred officials in Hanzhong who dared to snub him.
Because Tao Song has confidence, he has 5,000 Danyang soldiers, 8,000 Luoyang soldiers, 500 cavalry, 3,000 family soldiers and 2,000 Chencang County guards, a total of almost 20,000 people, and the army is in hand, and these hundreds of officials in Hanzhong dare not bow their heads.
Deng Zheng has been in the ground for half a year, and it is the first time that he has knelt on the ground for so long, he still has a little opinion on Tao Song, if Tao Song did not come to Hanzhong with tens of thousands of troops, he really wanted to leave with his hands.
But looking at the soldiers behind Tao Song with a murderous aura on their faces, these soldiers all hold steel knives in their hands and have bows hanging on their bodies, arrows on their backs, they can fight with knives, and they can also shoot arrows from a distance, this is definitely elite.
Deng Zheng knew that Tao Song was the youngest son of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, and looking at the soldiers behind Tao Song, the result in his heart was Danyang's strong pawn.
Jia Xu and Liu Ji looked at Tao Song and didn't let these people get up, which made the two look at Tao Song and smile, the old poison Jia Xu, the god Liu Bowen, how smart these two are, of course they can guess a little bit of Tao Song's thoughts, although nominally the two of them are Tao Song's teachers, but in fact they are still Tao Song's subordinates.
The Danyang soldiers and Zhao Cen behind Tao Song, and the Luoyang soldiers of Cheng Biting Jin stood aside in an orderly manner, but Tao Song clapped his hands when he looked at these soldiers who had followed him for a long time.
This made the Danyang soldiers and Luoyang soldiers both pick up a small cloth bag from their waists, feel out the dry food and put it in their mouths to bite, Yang Dewu and Wu Song watched the actions of the Danyang soldiers and Luoyang soldiers, and they also took the soldiers from Chen Cang to take out the dry food and eat it.
The actions of Tao Song's army completely chilled the hearts of the Hanzhong officials kneeling on the ground, and even Deng Zheng, a person who had lived for half his life, felt a chill in his heart, and Tao Song's actions made him see the anger in Tao Song's heart.
Deng Zheng wanted to get up and look at Tao Song who had his eyes closed, and he secretly hated in his heart, these officials in Hanzhong, even if one of them visited Tao Song in the first and later, it was much better than all of them going to his house and coming with him all the way.
