Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 792 Mad King
Northeast of Jingzhou, Gyeongju.

Tongchuan, Yimaguan.

Qin Huang Xue Rengao, who succeeded to the throne in Jingzhou and proclaimed himself emperor, once again swung his troops eastward. This time he did not directly kill Chang'an, but came to Qingzhou first.Because an official in Gyeongju wrote an article scolding him, with all his literary talents, scolding him very fiercely.

The angry young Emperor Xue Rengao vowed to meet him face to face.

The one who wrote the article scolding Xue Rengao was called Yu Li, the prefect of Qingzhou.

This person is not an ordinary person, but a well-known noble family at this time, an authentic talent, and his writing is first-rate.It's a pity that his ability to defend the city and fight is a layman. Xue Rengao attacked the post-horse pass and broke through it in only three days. Then he captured Yuli who came to supervise the battle alive.

After meeting, Xue Rengao found that this young man was very handsome, personable and very temperamental.

At first, he wanted to kill him, but at this time, the servant of Huangmen, Xiuliang, came out to persuade him, saying that the prefect of Yu is a famous talented person in the world, and he is also a famous family. How to recruit talents in the future, it is better to persuade them to surrender.

Like this Li Li, Xiu Liang was also a great talent. His talent was so high that even the talented Sui Emperor Yang Guang was jealous, so he accused him of being involved with Yang Xuangan, and demoted him, who was originally a scholar of the East Palace, to Xihai County Secretary. If Xue Ju rebelled, he could only follow him.

"Okay, just as Mr. said."

Xue Rengao was very young, but he still believed in the old man Chu for Xu Liang, so he asked people to invite Yu Li in, untied him personally, and persuaded him with kind words.

"Mr. Yu, why don't you surrender to my Xue family, and I promise to give you a high position and rich salary."

After all, Xue Rengao was young, and wanted to recruit Yuli, but he didn't grasp his position well and didn't pay attention to his words.A talented literati like Yuli has the best face. If you want to recruit him, you have to visit the thatched hut three times and make enough gestures to give yourself enough face. How can you be so straightforward to ask people to surrender.

Yu Li also put on a high-minded look, not only did not appreciate it, but cursed, "Shameless traitors and traitors, if you want to kill them, why do you say such nonsense?"

Of course Yu Li is not a loyal minister, he is just doing it for face.

This can be regarded as a routine, you try hard to persuade you to surrender, I scold you a few words, and then I go back and forth, and finally I am sincerely moved by you, and I have to surrender, everyone is happy.

He suddenly forgot that Xue Rengao was not Xue Ju. When Xue raised his troops, he was more patient, so Xu Liang also scolded Xue Ju at that time, but Xue Ju let him spit all over his face, and in the end he still greeted him with a smile. It brightens up.

But Xue Rengao, the new Emperor of Qin, is still very young.

At first he endured it.

Ke Yuli scolded more and more vigorously.

Now Xue Rengao was finally angry.

What did the Xue family do before?

Xue's family used to be the richest man in Northwest China, and Xue Ju's father used to be a big businessman with huge wealth, so Xue Ju has been a rich second generation since he was a child, and he couldn't spend all his money, so he had better make friends.

Later, when Xue Ju's father watched his son grow up, he spent money and used his connections to find a military post for Xue Ju.After all, in this era, a military career is a very good way.

Xue Ju was rich, generous, and good at making friends, so in the northwest, he soon became a school captain.When the world is in chaos, simply raise troops.

With the money of the Xue family and Xue Ju's contacts, he quickly opened up the situation in Longyou.

It's a pity that Xue Ju died early.

As for Xue Rengao, he is a rich man of three generations.

Compared with Xue Ju, this Xue Rengao is more powerful and brave, but his temper is not so good, he is more conceited, and even a little perverted. After all, Xue Ju has been polished before entering the military mansion.As for Xue Rengao, he has been a bully since he was a child, and no one has ever disobeyed him.

Yu Li didn't know what to say, but he still scolded vigorously.

Xue Rengao is getting impatient here, damn it, it's really shameless.

His face became more and more gloomy.

"Bring a wooden frame over here."

The wooden frame stood up.

Xue Rengao looked ugly, and waved his hand, "Please come up, Mr. Yu."

At this moment, Yu Li realized that something was wrong, because Xue Rengao not only tied him to the wooden frame, but also made people start a fire underneath.

Is this to burn him?

Yu Li's lips trembled.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't let go of his face all at once, holding a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that Xue Rengao was trying to scare him.

"ignition!"

Watching the flames rise.

Yu Li finally begged for mercy loudly.

But Xue Rengao's temper has come up, it's too late for you to beg for mercy.

Xiu Liang tried to persuade him, but it would not work for anyone.

"Isn't Mr. Yu determined not to surrender? Very good, I will fulfill him."

The flames rose up, and Yu Li finally screamed and wailed in the fire.

But Xue Rengao didn't care about that, he just stood there watching the flames engulfing him, and listening to his screams, he felt extremely refreshed, as refreshing as drinking ice water in June.

Yu Li lost his voice.

Bursts of meaty aroma wafted from the flames.

"Don't burn it, control the heat!" Xue Rengao actually said to his subordinates like this.

Those Qin soldiers were really skilled, and they really started to control the fire. After a while, Yuli was roasted until the outside was burnt and the inside was tender, and the fragrance burst out.

Xue Rengao stepped forward, drew out a short knife, cut off a piece of meat from his thigh, put it into his mouth and began to chew.

"The fire is a little bigger, and the outside is scorched."

Chu Liang only felt his stomach churning and threw up all of a sudden.

"Chu Xiang, try it too, it's actually not bad."

Chu Liang squatted aside, vomited profusely.

"Let's eat together while it's hot."

Xue Rengao began to greet the other subordinates present, so everyone stepped forward, first cut the thigh, then the abdomen, then the arms, and finally even the head.

Chu Liang almost vomited out his gall, he had never seen such a perverted person.

As for those Qin army officials and generals, many of them were also forced by the emperor's lust, so they could only swallow the meat with restraint.

In the end, Yu Li, a world-renowned talent, was left with nothing but a skeleton.

After eating Yuli, Xue Rengao gave a dark order, since the people of Qingzhou are so ignorant of flattery, then don't be polite, and confiscate all the property of all the officials and powerful officials in Qingzhou, and confiscate them.

At the same time, Xue Rengao also ordered to set aside a territory in Qingzhou to reward the Qiang tribes in Longyou who belonged to him, and let them settle from the barren mountains of Longyou to the fertile land of Qingzhou.

The order was issued.

Few of the powerful officials in Qingzhou are willing, after all, no one's property is blown by a strong wind.

For these uncooperative Gyeongju officials, Xue Rengao is not polite, he even ate the prefect Yuli, would he let them go?

So Xue Rengao ordered that all the officials, powerful and rich people in the city be arrested, and a long row of shelves was erected on the open ground outside the city.

This time he didn't roast people, but hung them all upside down on the rack, and then poured vinegar into their noses.

A person hangs upside down and pours vinegar into his nose, which is almost pouring vinegar into his brain.

This taste is as sour and refreshing as it is.

This time, no one can stand it, it is even more ruthless than beheading, after all, beheading is not enough, and it is over with one knife.But this vinegar filling, life is worse than death.

Soon, one after another, they all gave in.

In Gyeongju City.

Chu Liang, the servant of the Huangmen, was still retching non-stop. When he thought of his former friend Yu Li, who was burned alive in front of him, and then his flesh was cut off one by one for others to eat, he couldn't help it. Can not help the nausea writhing.

"Xue Rengao's cruelty is unmatched by anyone. He is so harsh and cruel, and he has no kindness to others. He will eventually be defeated."

Chu Liang's son Chu Suiliang said to his father, "Father, let's make plans early."

"I don't know, I should look for opportunities to escape from this devil."

"If you leave, will you vote for Li Yuan or Luo Cheng?"

Chu Liang said disgustedly, "We are in Guanzhong now, apart from being able to vote for Li Yuan, we have no chance to vote for Luo Cheng."

After the capture of Qingzhou, Xue Rengao accepted Hao Yuan's suggestion. Hao Yuan, who was the magistrate of Jincheng County, was held hostage by Xue Ju and his son with a knife around his neck.

He advised Xue Rengao not to go further north, because the north is Shuofang, the capital of Liang Shidu, and Monan, Yun Dingxing.

"Now our primary goal is Li Yuan in Chang'an. As long as we can defeat Li Yuan, we will be able to occupy Chang'an, and then the entire Guanlong will be determined."

"Beilian Liangshidu, no matter how generous the Turks are, let's work together and push Chang'an!"
