Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 150 Occupy Guzang

Huan Xi is not a gentleman, otherwise he would not have always wanted to be a rebel minister.

But Zhang Zuo's behavior still exceeded Huan Xi's moral bottom line.

Especially Zhang Chonghua's sister who was raped and humiliated by him in the original time and space, and was not Zhang Zuo's own sister.

Yang An received Huan Xi's order and had Zhang Zuo dragged away from the commander's tent, just like dragging away a dead dog.

Since Huan Xi didn't want Zhang Zuo to die too comfortably, Yang An naturally had to follow his orders.

He didn't know where he found a dull knife, and asked someone to chop Zhang Zuo's neck hard. Zhang Zuo struggled hard and cut Zhang Zuo's neck more than ten times, but he couldn't cut off Zhang Zuo's neck.

Zhang Zuo was in so much pain that even the cloth in his mouth was shaken out due to too many cuts. Zhang Zuo wailed feebly, begging Yang An to give him a happy life even though he was as precious as he was.

Beheading with this blunt knife really caused Zhang Zuo to experience extreme pain.

In the end, Zhang Zuo died. Because of excessive bleeding and shortness of breath, at least his head had not fallen off before he died.

Yang An switched to a sharp knife after Zhang Zuo's death, and killed the owl's head with a clean cut.

Huan Xi did not send Zhang Zuo's head into the city at night. Gu Zang was already in his possession, so there was no need to rush.

After all, once there is a commotion in the city, who knows what kind of trouble will be caused and affect the people in the city.

The next day, when it became brighter, Huan Xi formed a formation outside Guzang City.

A captured Zhang Zuo's horseman was driven to deliver Zhang Zuo's head into the city. Only then did everyone know that Zhang Zuo ran at night and was captured and killed by the Jin army.

But before that, no one could find Zhang Zuo, but Wei Ji and Zhao Chang lied that Zhang Zuo was recuperating in the mansion.

Now that they learned that Zhang Zuo was dead, even Zhang Zuo's cronies were in confusion.

Zhang Zuo's general Zhang Fang took the lead in attacking, captured Wei Ji and Zhao Chang on the spot, and had people open the city gate to let the Jin army enter the city.

When the south gate of Guzang opened, Huan Xi knew that there could be no fraud at this time, so he hurriedly ordered Xie Ai to lead his troops into the city to control the situation in the city.

Xie Ai took the order and entered Guzang City with his 3,000 cavalry and 8,000 soldiers. When he came forward, the 10,000 defenders in the city disarmed one after another. As for those who took advantage of the chaos to plunder, they were all killed by Xie Ai.

At this time, Zhang Zuo was dead, and news of the Jin army's entry into the city had reached the Liang Palace.

The Queen Mother Ma and the Queen Mother Pei couldn't bear to grieve for their lover. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the time to dress up, hoping to appear in front of Huan Xi in the most charming way.

Zhang Yaoling was not particularly afraid. He had already known from Suo Xia and others that Huan Xi would not murder his life.

As for Zhang Chonghua's eldest daughter, Zhang Yu'er, she didn't know whether she should be happy or worried at this time.

Since Zhang Chonghua became seriously ill, Zhang Zuo, Ma and Pei no longer concealed their secrets. Of course, Zhang Yu'er also knew about the scandalous affairs of her grandmother, aunt and uncle.

Recalling the looks that looked at her in the past, she couldn't help but feel heart palpitations.

Zhang Yu'er understood that if Huan Xi hadn't issued a message to Zhang Zuo, he would have been usurped by his uncle and forced to serve him along with his grandmother and aunt.

Now that Zhang Zuo is dead, Zhang Yu'er is naturally happy, but she can't help but worry about her own fate.

When the situation in the city stabilized, Huan Xi led his troops into the city and directly occupied the Liang Palace. He was accepting the congratulations of his generals in the main hall of the palace.

The first people to be escorted were Wei Ji and Zhao Chang.

The two of them were begging for their lives, but Huan Xi said in a deep voice:

"Zhang Chonghua has always favored and trusted the two of you. It can be said that he has been very kind to you, but how did you repay him?

"How can I dare to use people like you.

"Come here! Drag the two of them out of the palace gate and behead them. Their heads will be hung on the Guzang Tower as a warning to others!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his own bodyguards came out and dragged Wei Ji and Chief Zhao out regardless of their pleas.

At this time, the scholars and people of Guzang gathered outside Liang Palace. When Wei Ji and Zhao Chang were beheaded in public, everyone was jubilant. At the same time, Zhang Zuo’s wives, concubines, and heirs were also brought to Huan Xi.

Huan Xi looked at Zhang Zuo's two sons, Zhang Taihe and Zhang Tingjian.

They are not very old.

Huan Xi pointed at the two of them and ordered his bodyguard:

"Give them a good time, don't put them through too much pain."

The two teenagers were naturally frightened and cried.

Zhang Zuo's wife Xin also guarded her son behind her in fear. She begged:

"They are still young and have never done any evil. Please ask Huan Gong to be kind and spare their lives. We, mother and son, are willing to be slaves and maids and serve Huan Gong wholeheartedly."

Huan Xi asked instead:

"Because they are Zhang Zuo's descendants, they can enjoy a life of fine clothing and fine food. Now that Zhang Zuo has been defeated, how can they be said to be innocent.

"Besides, if I keep the two of them alive today, could it be that I want to wait until they grow up to avenge their father?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xin cried:

"Zhang Zuo deserves his punishment. How dare the two of them hold grudges. God has the virtue of a good life, so please have mercy on Duke Huan."

Huan Xi, however, was determined to eradicate the problem and did not want to leave any further trouble.

The guards came forward to seize the person, but how could the Xin family protect them.

Although Mrs. Xin has a good appearance, Huan Xi is not prepared to live in the house and kill his son to take care of his mother. How serious must he be.

Just when Huan Xi was about to give Xin to his generals, Xin saw his two sons being forcibly dragged away. In grief and anger, Xin committed suicide by hitting a pillar in the main hall.

Huan Xi felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, but he did not feel any regret. He just ordered that Xin be buried with her two sons.

As for Zhang Zuo, his head was taken back and sent to the sentry cavalry to report to Cangsong, Yici, Pupai, Luanniao and other cities.

Huanxi only divided his troops to guard these cities, but did not capture them.

As for Zhang Zuo's side chamber, Huan Xi ordered people to keep him under guard. After counting the military merits, he would be rewarded to his generals.

Xin's body was carried out of the main hall, and Zhang Chonghua's family members happened to see it. Everyone was shocked:

Could it be that Duke Huan also killed his female relatives?

The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Ma, and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Pei, turned pale. They were not the only ones to know what evil things they had done.

Therefore, he was escorted into the main hall and showed off his charm in front of Huan Xi.

Seeing Zhang Yu'er, Zhang Yaoling, and Zhang Xuanliang frowning, they also felt that their faces were shameless when they saw such a shameless grandmother and aunt.

However, Ma's and Pei's efforts were destined to be in vain, as Huan Xi hated them as much as Zhang Zuo.

Unkind as a mother and unkind as a wife, the two actually had an affair when Zhang Chonghua was seriously ill.

He is still planning for Zhang Zuo to be the leader of Liangzhou, which is simply stupid and bad.

If Huan Xi remembers correctly, in the original time and space, after Zhang Zuo's defeat, the Ma family got involved with another powerful minister, Zhang Guan.

Huan Xi couldn't finish eating such a rice bowl for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

　I’ll make up for two thousand first, but I’m still short of three thousand.

　　Today's first chapter will probably be a little later, probably before 2 p.m.
