Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 278
Just in case, Li Yue also asked Xu Cheng to lead a battalion of [-] Xiao cavalry to go south to avoid collective riots.

However, Liang Xiao handled it cleanly. A grand banquet quickly uprooted Du Neng, and the more than [-] plays under his command were also brought under control.

Du Neng and his cronies were escorted to the camp of the Chinese Army.

Li Yue originally had Ran Min's power of false integrity, and he could kill those who violated the military law during wartime.

If you don't check, you don't know. If you check, you will find that what you see is the tip of the iceberg.

The appearance of a praying mantis means that there is a nest of praying mantises out of sight.

It is nothing new to kill good men and make meritorious deeds. Various righteous soldiers have done it more or less. Some people even cut off the head of Paoze who died in battle, and pretended to be the head of the enemy army, just in exchange for the few buckets of food.

It's just that Du Neng did it with great fanfare, and his hands and feet once went deep into Beihai, Qijun, Mount Tai and other places.

While taking the opportunity to coerce the young and strong to plunder food and grass, they beheaded those who refused to submit as enemy troops, and exchanged their heads for food for the Heiyun army.

When the troops were dispatched, Du Neng had less than 700 soldiers, but now there are more than [-]. A large number of looted women, food, money and silk were also found in the camp.

Earn a lot of money.

The evidence is conclusive and indisputable.

"If you don't kill these thieves, it won't be enough to anger the civilians, and if you don't kill them, it won't be enough to enforce the law." Jia Jian sighed.

Chen Duan was furious, "The face of the beggar army was thrown away by this kind of people, and it deserves to be hacked into pieces."

Ding Rao and Sun Yuan looked ugly.

Zhu Tu was originally invited to this trial, but he was guilty and dared not come.

Ding Rao and Sun Yuan, who were close to him, came instead.

If you dare to come, you have a clear conscience, if you dare not come, there will be problems.

"What else do you have to say?" Li Yue's face was livid.

It's nothing more than the Hu people harming the Chinese people, but I didn't expect my own people to be more ruthless.

The scouts and school officials could find more than 600 people who died in the hands of Du Neng, and I don't know how many people didn't find out.

"This subordinate is blinded for a while, and the crime is unforgivable, but I still hope that the governor will give me a chance to let my subordinates go into battle and fight the barbarians to the death, and make meritorious deeds!" Du Neng is also a person who has gone through a lot of troubles. He knows that begging for mercy is useless, so he changed a method.

But this kind of person Li Yue can't believe him anymore.

When it comes to the battlefield, who knows if he will turn against him.

"If you donate crimes and make meritorious service, you will be exempted. Those who come here will be dragged down, all of them will be cut in half, and the leaders will be passed on to the army." Li Yue's heart has long been as hard as a stone.

Since going down the mountain, this is the first time that this kind of torture has been used.

But it was a last resort. In fact, many people these days are not afraid of death at all, especially those who lick blood with the tip of a knife. They can't be restrained without torture.

"You... If you dare to kill someone today, someone will turn against you tomorrow!" Du Neng burst into a rage, wanting to pounce on him, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, and the three guards held him down.

Li Yue sneered and said, "Oh? Are you talking about who is going to rebel? The governor wants them to jump out now!"

Du Neng refused to give up the last chance, "Speak out, will it save my life?"

"Procrastinate." Li Yue waved his hand, too lazy to talk to him anymore.

Since you dare to do it, you are not afraid of others rebelling.

Not long after, there were bursts of screams outside the camp, and Du Neng, along with 56 of his cronies, were all cut in half.

Compared with the evil they committed, they absolutely deserve this kind of torture.

Ding Rao, Sun Yuan and others were silent like cicadas.

Afterwards, Du Neng's head was sent to various units of the Rebel Army, which did not cause much shock. Du Neng died under the military law in an upright manner, and no one could fault it.

Just five or six teams left without saying goodbye.

Li Yue did not force him to stay. This battle itself was a selection process. Those who left were not fellow travelers. Those who stayed could be fought for in the future.

As long as the Cui family, the Zheng family, and the great tyrants like Jia Jian do not leave, the situation is still under control.

After beheading Du Neng, the various units of the rebel army became more disciplined, but they were also more cautious. They no longer took the initiative to attack Yao Xiang and Shi Kun, and began to muddle along.

The battlefield is in a stalemate.

Yao Xiang and Shi Kun have 30 horses. With such a scale, it is impossible to decide the winner in a short time.

The battle of Guanggu was not isolated, it was closely related to the battle of Weichang, and also closely related to the situation in the south.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Soon there was a secret report from Zhongshan that after three victories in three battles, Ran Min won two more and beheaded the rebel General Duan Kan, suppressing Murong Ke's tens of thousands of troops.

However, although Wei Jun won, the situation is not optimistic.

The [-] elite soldiers who went out lost [-]%, and the soldiers fought one after another. Under the harassment of Murong Ke's light cavalry, they could not rest and reorganize. It was difficult to supply the rear, the food in the army was short, and the horses were not intensively fed. They became weaker and weaker. There are three or four hundred war horses.

In addition to the loss on the battlefield, the original [-] elite riders can only maintain [-] riders now, and it is still declining.

Dong Run and Zhang Wen advised Ran Min several times to take it away when he was good, and go back and stick to Xiangguo or Yecheng, but Ran Min was immersed in the pleasure of five battles and five victories, and vowed not to give up until Murong Ke was killed.

With the lessons learned from Wei Jian and Wang Tai, Dong Run and Zhang Wen didn't dare to persuade them anymore, otherwise they would die, and if they failed, the whole clan would die with them.

"Captain, Zhu Tu sent envoys to Yao Xiang and Xiapi last night!" The school affairs came to report early in the morning.

"Okay." Li Yue was not surprised.

When Du Neng was killed, Zhu Tu was the most affected. The two had a good relationship before. One was in Leling and the other was in Pingyuan.

His lips were dead and his teeth were cold, Zhu Tu's betrayal was bound to happen sooner or later, so the scouts and school officials had been watching his every move.

This person's reputation in the lower reaches of the Yellow River has never been very good.

When Du Neng was interrogated, Li Yue summoned him to come, but he declined on the grounds of being injured.

"The governor wants to take the two Huaihe Rivers, and the key lies in Zhu Tu!" Chang Wei got up earlier, and every day he got up at dawn to freshen up and handle various official duties.

"Jiang Dong has always been timid, I'm afraid Xun Xian may not dare to go north." Li Yue laughed.

"In ordinary times, he would definitely refuse. However, Yin Hao failed in the Northern Expedition. Wang Xie, Xun Yin and other Jiangdong gentry urgently needed to save face, otherwise Huan Wen would not be able to pass the test. The subordinates felt that our army might not be able to defeat Yao Xiang and Shi Kun's 30 people. Annexation is worse than driving him to the south, Yao Xiang is ambitious, Jiangdong scholars have always been afraid of the northern generals, since Yin Hao and Xie Shang are pushing Zhang Yu away, Yao Xiang will not be tolerated!"

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: move when it suits your interests, and stop when it doesn't suit your interests.

The 30 people, Yao Xiang and Shi Kun, can't hold on. They have been exhausted, and the outcome is unpredictable. If they lose too much strength in order to defeat Yao Xiang and Shi Kun, the loss outweighs the gain.

The Kingdom of Yan is staring at the north, and the Heiyun Army has so many elites.

Ran Min is a good example. He fights for the sake of war and wins every time, but Ran Wei gets weaker and weaker as he fights.

Li Yue sorted out his thoughts, "Mr. is generous, but it also depends on Yao Xiang and Shi Kun's movements."

It can only be said that Zhu Tu brought a chance to break the situation, but how the situation develops depends on how Yao Xiang, Xun Xian and others make choices.
