The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 320 Put it back

As night fell on this day, and he was busy until the early morning of the next day, Hao Jingcheng took out a list and handed it to Zhang Rui. This is the favor that Hao Jingcheng is going to give to Zhang Rui. This is a must in the officialdom system of the Celestial Dynasty. The county magistrate might as well take care of the matter now, even if he is His Majesty's envoy, he should not be too strong at this time, otherwise this group of people will be obedient, and he will have no way to wipe out the rebels.

The 300 people on this list are considered to be the most stubborn and hopeless among the captives. They were given to Zhang Rui to deal with, and Zhang Rui immediately sent troops to clear these more than 300 people.The remaining people were gathered in a valley near Langya Ridge. Since more than 200 people were killed during the interrogation, the remaining people were probably around a thousand people.

Hao Jingcheng walked into the square surrounded by the valley, where more than a thousand captives were gathered, and he was still a little bit surprised, but Hao Jingcheng entered the wooden platform in front of him, and after his cold eyes swept over, the surroundings became quiet.Among them, there are at least 500 people who have been arrested before and know his appearance.

Surrounded by torches and guarded soldiers surrounded, Hao Jingcheng put hats, bracelets, and a large set of materials that recorded everyone's information on the table between the wooden platforms. The surroundings were silent, and Hao Jingcheng said to himself: "There are many of you. Everyone has seen me, don't worry, I don't want to kill people tonight, all of you will be released before dawn... This is the last time you will be released..."

Whispering voices rang out again, Hao Jingcheng stood by the table and slammed his fist on the wooden table with one hand.Immediately, the surroundings became quiet again. Hao Jingcheng was standing there, staring at the entire small square, with an aura of power without anger, and even the atmosphere in half of the venue was a little suffocated.After a long while, Hao Jingcheng finally turned around and pulled the chair behind the wooden table with cold eyes.

The night wind blew past, and the flames swayed around.Hao Jingcheng's words were transmitted from the wooden platform, echoing in the night.The wind roared through the night sky, the figure on the wooden platform turned around, then sat down on the chair, looked over again, and then his tone began to fade.

"I know many of your families are on the rebels and all of you will be put back later. After today, I will say nothing more, you take your weapons and go your own way, whatever It’s fine. Go back to the rebels, continue to drink big bowls and eat meat, and then wait until I come to fight, pick up a knife and fight with me, either you kill me, or I kill you and send your family members down.”

"You can also leave the rebels and find a hilltop to continue living the days of licking blood. But as I said before, His Majesty's personal conquests and victories in the war against gold will not last long. .”

Regarding this news, not many people came from below. Mostly now that Hao Jingcheng said it, some people couldn't help whispering, and some of them even said, "It's fine for everyone to put down their weapons and surrender at that time".

After Hao Jingcheng listened, he couldn't help but snorted and said: "Don't think that the officers and soldiers are coming, you just throw down the knife and surrender, it's not that simple, I have a thousand ways to make you die unhappy. You guys If you have stood there and done evil things, you must pay your debts.”

At this moment, the people below began to whisper again, and someone whispered in the crowd: "Then what do you want us to do to let us go?"

"If you want to write it off from me, there is only one way, to exchange your head. In exchange for your life, your family's life." Hao Jingcheng stood up, took out a stack of blood-stained papers from his clothes, "The rebels have already Dispersed! This is when some leaders among you shot in to fight for Lijiazhuang, but they couldn’t come on the battlefield. You go back and talk about the matter, and I guarantee that the entire rebel army will be in chaos.”

After a pause, Hao Jingcheng went on to say: "You rebels are in chaos, you can start. Protect yourself, and use your head in exchange for your life. When the officers and soldiers fight over, they will be rewarded if they have more heads. The rules of the award are all outside, take a look and listen when you leave. After this thing is done, your identity will be cleared, and you will go home to farm or become a rich man, it is up to you."

He walked to the table and began to pack his things, saying that he had finished what he was supposed to say. At this time, he made a final concluding speech and said: I said a bit too much, I hope you can remember it clearly in the end.You may think that I am intimidating, or you may think that I am not capable of doing this. After I go out, whether you will leave or stay is your choice.Picking up a knife and pointing it at me or at the people around me is to find a way for the family to survive, and there is no shame in it.In order to kill you all, I still have a lot of arrangements to do, so I have to go first. "

The sound of footsteps went to the side of the wooden platform. When he got to the edge, Hao Jingcheng turned his head, glanced at the more than a thousand people below, and said again: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. You have no choice but to join the rebels. I have no choice." Come here to kill you. I just want to kill you and your family, but I don’t know you, and I don’t have any ill feelings towards you. , everyone hold the knife in your hand, let's fight for our own lives. Take care, goodbye."

This solemn and cold voice echoed over the small square. If Hao Jingcheng said these words a few days ago, they would only be regarded as a joke by others, but the words at this time are filled with cold seriousness. In the past, the momentum of the entire rebel army reached its peak.But after breaking the rebel army in three days, everyone will see the defeat of the entire rebel army formation.

In the deepest darkness before dawn, they were finally sent out of the barracks, and each of them was given a weapon. The other party didn't care how they chose afterward, they just wanted to put them to death.

Many people gathered on the road in the darkness, among the mountains, some were at a loss, some were discussing, and some were just walking forward subconsciously. In the deepest darkness, no one could find next road.

At the same time, the entire rebel force is also falling into a gloomy and bleak state.

Compared with the mighty and majestic appearance when they entered the battle, no one thought that in less than half a month, the entire rebel army would plummet from the sky to the bottom of the valley so quickly, and the reason was just because of a seemingly useless scholar.

Things in the world are weird, nothing more than that, but when things happen to him, no one can laugh.
