Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 755 The Ferocious Earth Leopard
The reason why Zhao Zaili had the weird idea of ​​surrendering and losing half was because he felt that his rebellion could be forgiven.

What!Can rebellion be forgiven?
It was not possible in other dynasties, but it seemed to be possible in the Five Dynasties.

Rebellion in other dynasties is definitely a serious crime of genocide, but in the Five Dynasties, it is just an ordinary farce among countless farces of the same kind.

Not to mention that this is the typical Wei Bo Yabing of the Five Dynasties. Isn't it standard for rebellion?

Therefore, Zhao Zaili did not take this rebellion as a serious matter. The only thing he felt different from before was that the atmosphere in the world had really changed.

If in the past, there was a rebellion in which both Wei Bo Yabing and the Silver Spear Effect Festival established later participated, there would have been tens of thousands of people who brought their own swords, guns and armor to join in three to five days if they didn't raise their arms and respond to the rebellion.

But this time, he, Zhao Zaili and Liu Jixun, who came from Weibo, took the initiative to solicit, and only three or four hundred people responded. The times have indeed changed.

Speaking of it, the reason why Zhao Zaili jumped out to take the initiative to rebel was because of money.

Originally, after Zhang Yu entered Tokyo, he really wanted to find an opportunity to kill Zhao Zaili, because Zhao Zaili's name was so resounding that he almost ran through the entire Five Dynasties, and he was the most typical concrete embodiment of the five generations of warriors.

Greed, brutality, cruelty, cunning, and no loyalty.The word "thorn in the eye" used to describe him, Zhao Zaili, has even become a common term used by later generations to describe the most hated person who wants to get rid of it quickly.

But at that time, after the Luoyang War, Zhao Zaili was very discerning, and Zhang Ting was still in Luoyang, so he became the first Marshal of the Later Jin Dynasty who led his dental soldiers to kill the Khitan people in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and responded to Li Cunhui.

When Zhang Yu discovered this thorn in his side, he had already turned around and became a hero to welcome the new emperor.

I, Zhang Shengren, am a reasonable person. Although I wanted to kill Zhao Zaili immediately, I didn't do it out of personal preference.

It's just that there was always a thorn in his heart, so he grabbed Zhao Zaili's sore foot in various places, and kept sending people to the door to hint to Zhao Zaili that he would hand over the ill-gotten gains so that he could save his life.

I am a saint!

He Ning did a rough calculation for Zhang Tie. Zhao Zaili only counted the property in his hometown of Weizhou and the gold and silver hoarded at home, at least 100 million guan.

If you add his shops and real estate in Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Xuchang, Shangqiu, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, it can be worth at least 150 million.

If so much property belongs to Zhang Tie, then I, Zhang Shengren, can use this money to support the reconstruction of water conservancy facilities in Hebei, and bear the travel expenses for some people from all over the country to move to Liaodong.

Land property can be used to equalize the land, and shops in various places can be used to reward meritorious ministers.

But Zhang Ting sent people to the door to hint three or four times, and even Zhang Lieming, the deputy commander of Jinyi's personal guards, came to the door in person, but Zhao Zaili still refused to let go.

This old boy is a bastard who is determined to eat weights, not to mention all his property, and he is not going to give out even ten thousand yuan.

Because in Zhao Zaili's eyes, the money is more important than his life!
This is the family fortune he accumulated through wind and rain, almost being killed by the soldiers below, and the emperor and king above, shameless and shameless.

Even because of the wickedness of his actions, people all over the world cursed him for cutting off his sons and grandsons. Coincidentally, among Zhao Zaili's four sons, except for the eldest who lived to be in his twenties, none of them lived past 20 years old.

As a result, Zhao Zaili had a bunch of wives and concubines, and had a lot of children. Now, except for three daughters and one grandson, he has no close relatives.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Zaili, the family property of more than 100 million yuan is not money, it is the life of his four sons, how could he be willing to dedicate it to Zhang Yan.

Therefore, Zhang Ting had long wanted to kill Zhao Zaili, and Zhao Zaili also knew that the emperor would find a reason to kill him, so the rebellion became a matter of course.

It's just that Zhao Zaili discovered at this moment that he and Liu Jixun raised their arms, but they could only summon a few hundred people, and they couldn't beat the inspection department of Yanhebao.

This expert in military chaos finally realized that the times had changed.

He suddenly felt that if he could surrender and lose half, no!It is not impossible to keep only 20 million guan for the grandson, and donate the rest.

Hmm... a little whimsical, but also a little reasonable.

Because Zhao Zaili’s greatest wealth is his hoard of gold and silver. There can be no banks in this era. Zhao Zaili had already melted the gold and silver into balls or long strips and buried them. He also killed all the servants and craftsmen he knew. If he doesn't say it, it's really not easy to find out.

Combined with the situation since the later Tang Dynasty, as long as the rebellious Jieshuai below knelt down and begged for mercy, there is still a high probability of survival.

They are all from Bei-Hedong. No one knows what is good and what is bad. It is convenient for others.

So after having this idea, Zhao Zaili immediately winked at his confidants around him.

His confidant is actually more afraid than Zhao Zaili, because he knows better than Zhao Zaili, an old man who has not been out of Weizhou City for many years, and even the mansion, how powerful Da Zhou is now.

Damn it, there are bow and arrow clubs and spear clubs all over the mountains and plains, and there are even Qiji clubs in Helong and Guanzhong in wealthier places.

And there is also an ascending route from Fanshang Yicong - Long March Jianyong - County Xuedutou - Weisuo Army Chief and Team Deputy - Forbidden Army Xiaorui - Pro-army heart.

What's even more frightening is that there are substitutes for this route. For example, if you go to the county school, you will not be able to go up. the petty officer.

If you retire from the imperial army and the pro-army, you can become a local inspector or a centurion of the guard army.Military officers even have the channels of county lieutenants and tax ambassadors.

This is very attractive to a local leopard who was born in the countryside and longs to change his destiny. There are so many people willing to trade their lives for it.

The confidant can even feel that in the woods around the Fort along the river, there are red-eyed 'earth leopards' looking at them with eagerness.

It's better to run, go back to Weizhou first, it's really not possible, the cronies took a look at Zhao Zaili, then they can only take Zhao Weng's family to buy his life.

Feeling anxious, his confidant quietly brought a few horses, and even summoned a dozen or so knights who were closest to him on weekdays.

Zhao Zaili looked at the distance and was almost 50 years old, and he rushed to the front to take a look at Liu Jixun who was climbing the fort wall along the river.

Poor guy, the Khitans ransacked all his property in Tokyo, his wife and daughter-in-law were all stabbed to death by the Khitans, and his son was beaten to death outside Yanshi City, leaving him alone.

In the past, he made a lot of enemies, but now that he has no official position, if he doesn't rebel, he doesn't know when he will be found and killed.

"Let's go! You follow the old man back to Weizhou, and kowtow to the emperor to plead guilty. The old man gave up all his family property, and he wants to keep you."

Zhao Zaili thought it was better to appease and show some kindness. After all, if he could save his life, then the remaining 20 to [-] yuan of family property would still have to be protected by these people.

The confidant also nodded happily. As long as he returns to Weizhou, it doesn't matter whether he runs away or buys a way of life for Zhao Zaili's family. It is much better than it is now.

However, he glanced at the surrounding forest with some anxiety, for fear that a group of desperate earth leopards would come out there.

It's a pity that sometimes it's a good spirit that doesn't work and a bad spirit.

When Zhao Zaili was running away under the guard of his cronies, Kang Sanlang's family of forty or fifty members had been lying in ambush in the woods for a long time.

The reason why they didn't dare to come up was because Zhao Zaili and the others were all well-armed, and apart from attacking Yanhe Fort, there were also 30 to [-] people present.

Among the members of the Kang family, there are only two or three spears and a bow, and the rest of the weapons are all agricultural tools, let alone armor.

Rushing out in this way will not have any secondary consequences other than death, so they have never dared to go out.

But now, Zhao Zaili and more than a dozen people are about to run away, and that is their chance.

Kang Sanlang breathed in the cold air continuously, using the cold feeling to his lungs to stabilize his trembling hands and feet as much as possible.

He, Kang Saburo, practiced hard regardless of the cold and heat, but he didn't want to plan food in the soil like his father.He wants to be an official, eat big fat meat, and drink big bowls of wine.

I want to marry a girl with black hair, black eyes and white skin, so that my son and grandchildren will no longer be ridiculed for their yellow hair and gray eyes like him.

Under the watchful eyes of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Zhao Zaili and more than ten riders passed by the woods where Kang Sanlang and the others were ambushing. Kang Sanlang took a deep breath, held a hunting bow and shot five or six arrows in a few breaths.

The arrows are made of sharpened sheep bones, the shafts are not straight, and the hunting bow is not strong enough, so Kang Sanlang has to use quantity to make up for quality.

He was very lucky, because Zhao Zaili and the others were running, and they didn't dare to wear the armor, but put the armor on the horse behind.

So even though it was an arrow shot by a hunting bow, all the arrows and arrows pierced into the body of Zhao Zaili's entourage at the front. out.

"Kill the thief!" With the sound of a gong, the young adults of the Kang family, like vicious dogs pouncing on their food, howled and rushed towards Zhao Zaili and others from the woods with red eyes.

Moreover, their division of labor is very clear, some of them outflanked from front to back, the fastest, and the most courageous went straight to Zhao Zaili.

Such an old man is still on the battlefield, he looks like a high-ranking official, ah!At first glance, it is the leader of the thief. If you take him down, you will have military merits.

Kang Gouzi didn't take anything, so he ran the fastest, just by hearing his name, he knew what situation he was in.

The Kang family and the others only had thirty or so young adults in their lifetime, but he couldn't even get the rank of Kang Thirty Lang, so he only deserved to be called Kang Gouzi.

The elder sister who loved him the most got married, but his parents couldn't afford the dowry and was annulled, so aggrieved that he jumped into the river and committed suicide.The younger brother obviously has a talent for reading, but he can only be called Kang Ergouzi like him.

A Niang is sick, and I can only watch her being tortured to death by the pain.

Kang Gouzi never wants to live like this again. He doesn't want his family to be called down by the second and third Gouzi, so he has no plan to live.

Amidst the howling sound, Kang Gouzi really looked like a hyena. He howled like a vicious dog, and with a single swoop, he threw himself on the side of Zhao Zaili's horse, grabbed Zhao Zaili's thigh, and went crazy pull.

The war horse was frightened, it kicked and kicked, but it didn't kick, Zhao Zaili was terrified, he yanked the handle of the knife, trying to kill Kang Gouzi.

But in this kind of panic, he couldn't draw the knife no matter what. Zhao Zaili had no choice but to smash down the knife with its sheath.

One hit, two hits, three hits, Kang Gouzi was hit with blood all over his face, his legs were dragging on the snow and he was almost unconscious.

But he just didn't let go, and tried his best to lift his legs vigorously to kick the little sparrow on Zhao Zaili's crotch.

The mouth kept howling crazily, "Sanlang! Sanlang! Sanlang!"

Even if it was a eunuch horse, the place where he urinated was constantly being hit hard, and it was still painful, and his speed slowed down very quickly.

Just at such a slow pace, countless Kang family members rushed over from all directions. They threw away their weapons, just to run faster, and many of them risked their lives to pull the horse's tail, or even hug the horse's legs.

Finally, the horse couldn't hold it anymore, and was surrounded by a dozen people and fell to the ground directly. Zhao Zaili had already been torn off the horse by them.

Seeing that Zhao Zaili was gone, the remaining cronies panicked, how dare they get entangled with these desperate earth leopards, and hurried to gallop.

Shocking cheers sounded, No. 40 Ding Zhuang of the Kang family, covered in blood, was cheering and roaring. They knocked down four people and captured the leader of the bandit.

The confidant didn't run very far, because the sound of the gong rang everywhere in this land.

People from the eight townships around Yanhebao, an inspection department, and Huazhou Zhongwei all came.

Zhao Zaili opened his mouth wide and was about to beg for mercy. He really wanted to say that he would buy his life with his family wealth, but Kang Sanlang grabbed a handful of mud, slammed it into Zhao Zaili's mouth, and then covered his mouth.

"Let's go! Let's go! Black Burger Zhao's family is here, don't let those ass steal our credit!"
