Lu's relatives

Chapter 363
Kindness does not use tricks, compassion does not use soldiers.

In fact, it is helpless to choose Zhou Yu to choose Zhang Yingxing's flesh and blood this time.

Right now, there are three forces, Qin Xu, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu each occupying one side.Qin Xu has the righteousness of the emperor's will, so it can be said that he has the right time.It is also backed by Xuzhou, only separated by a big river, and there is no danger of being cut off from food and roads. Even if it is stationed in Jiangzhu for several months, I believe that my brother-in-law Mi Zhu is deploying military resources in Xuzhou.

However, the terrain of Danyang County where Yuan Shu is based is complex, with many mountains, and the pass leading to the outside world is easy to defend and difficult to attack.Moreover, after winning the support of Yan's father and son, the military strength increased sharply again to the sum of the forces of Qin Xu and Sun Ce, which should not be underestimated.

Only Sun Ce, Qu'a City is on the riverside, it can barely be regarded as dangerous to defend, and with the support of the three counties of Yangzhou, there is no weakness in a short period of time.Moreover, when Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong, he deliberately suppressed Jiangdong's aristocratic families to a degree, and he also tried to win over them, which can barely be regarded as harmony.But Sun Cejun's fatal injury is also quite obvious.Just like when Lv Bu first won Qingzhou, the strength of the army becomes quite insufficient when the area is large. It is quite necessary to deal with the attacks from Jiangzhu and Danyang from the north and west, and to guard against Yuan Shu's army at the border of Kuaiji County and Danyang. A little bit of embarrassment.

In fact, Sun Ce sometimes wants to ask, Yasheng said that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. How did it come to his own family? This is also regarded as a classic "truth" by Confucianism. Why is it not easy to use?

At present, since Sun Cejun wants to avoid Yuan Shu, who is watching him from the sidelines, taking advantage of the opportunity, he can only make a plan to succeed with one blow to defeat Qin Xu's soldiers!And to achieve this, Liu Yao in Qin Xu's army is undoubtedly the easiest "pass" to break through.

Zhang Ying was a general of Liu Yao's department, and he once had the kindness of saving Liu Yao's life.Apart from Zhang Ying, there is really no other person who can make Liu Yao unsuspecting.Moreover, Zhang Yingji is a member of the Gu family. For the sake of the clan, he can even bear the strange eyes of the world. As long as he controls the life and death of his clan, there is no reason why Zhang Ying will not be used by Sun Ce's army, and there is no fear that Zhang Ying will suddenly turn against him.It's nothing more than what was said on the surface.

"That's it, it's not too late! Let the lord, General Zhou, punish you!" Zhang Ying gritted her teeth and said.Now that Sun Ce had given an explanation, Zhou Yu also made a gesture.This plan is facing Liu Yao, the former protagonist who "cannot afford to support". For the safety of his family, Zhang Ying can only be "unjust" once.

"It's hard for General Zhang! If this plan works out and Yangzhou is protected, Sun Ce swears in the name of his family that he will live up to General Zhang's help!" Sun Ce solemnly rushed to Zhang Ying and bowed to the ground. There was a bit of boredom on his face, and he glanced at Zhou Yu, who also had a strange expression, with a little reproach, and said to Zhu Zhi: "Jun Li, after General Zhang has been punished with the cane, he must be taken care of well. The general made a slight mistake!"

"Bo Fu..." Zhou Yu naturally knew that Sun Ce had a high spirit and a straight temper, and even always regretted that he couldn't have a good fight with Lu Bu.This kind of matter of coercing people's family members to force people to accept schemes, although Sun Ce has already agreed, it is really a hurdle in Sun Ce's heart.But Zhou Yu wasn't doing it for himself either!Originally, Mei Zhoulang's favorite thing is the elegant thing of tuning the piano and composing music, but now he has to think about such a trick of threatening his family. Do you think we are at ease?But who told Lu Bu to order Qin Xu to "follow the order" to pick such a time to intervene in Yangzhou affairs?Who is Sun Ce? Although Sun Ce has captured the four counties of Yangzhou in just half a year, the actual area of ​​the land is almost equal to the sum of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but his military strength is only less than one-third of Lu Bu's army, so he is not sure. Resisting attacks from both sides!Still the same sentence, the situation is stronger than people, no one to blame, but only this chaotic world of big men, the era of shit.

"Gong Jin needless to say! I understand!" Although Sun Ce Neng and Zhou Yu have different paths in civil and military affairs, they can become close friends and become close friends. They have the same views on many things, and sometimes they even have the same mind. Feel.Seeing Zhu Zhi leaving with Zhang Ying, Sun Ce took a deep breath, put on a smile again on his face, forced a smile and said, "Okay, I hope this plan can succeed so that Qin Zhongming knows the difficulty and retreats, and let I'll be able to free up my hands to concentrate on cleaning up Yuan Gonglu, and you and I will work together to save the Jiangdong land from the flames of war in the shortest possible time!"

"Well!……"

Staff punishment, mostly spine sticks in the Han Dynasty, originated in the late Qin Dynasty. It was originally "inherited" from the brutal Qin law, and it was mostly popular in the army. It was a severe punishment second only to beheading.Under normal circumstances, if an adult and strong man is beaten, twenty battles are enough to kill half of his life.Generally, if the upper peak orders more than forty spine sticks, if there is no popularity to say that the item is released, then it is really a death blow.But what Zhang Ying received was a full eighty sticks.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

At first Zhang Ying could bear it.After all, it was just a show for Liu Yao, not only could Zhang Ying not be hurt at all, but he also had to make the stick wound "old-fashioned" in order to confuse the investigation of the experts in Lu Bu's army; so Zhu Zhi specially sought out the execution masters in the army. Come forward, go down with one stick, trying to only hurt the outer skin and not the root bone.But the problem is that even if someone with more "experience" executes the torture, even if it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones in this series of eighty sticks, the flesh on the back will be beaten to pieces, and half of the person's life will be hooked.

Zhang Ying persisted until the No. 30 stick, his face was already pale, and the bean-sized beads of sweat fell to the ground with the trembling of his body, and after a while, a small puddle of water gathered.After finally getting to the No.60 stick, Zhang Ying was in great pain, but she felt ashamed of Liu Yao this time, and only thought this was her own punishment. Although she couldn't control her nose and tears, But he still clenched his teeth until his gums were bleeding, and he refused to snort.By the time of the last ten sticks, Zhang Ying hadn't fainted yet, but she didn't even have the strength to grit her teeth, as if her back had been broken, and she didn't feel the slightest, just falling with the seemingly heavy stick. On the back buttocks, there was a dull sound, and the body twitched instinctively.

Not to mention the injury test, the flesh and blood on the entire back has been beaten into a fleshy paste, and the bones of the shoulder blades are even faintly visible, which is extremely frightening.

"General Zhang! What a hero! Zhu Zhi is subdued!" Rao was Zhu Zhi who was the captain of Wu Jun, who was in charge of arresting rebels and bandits, and later advocated punishment in Sun Ce's army. He saw that he was punished with a stick There were hundreds of them, and I have seen a lot of those who were tortured in various ugly appearances. I have never seen a tough guy like Zhang Ying who was beaten up like this and didn't say a word.

"No...not a problem!" Zhang Ying is now sweating in pain almost every breath, but still forced a smile, and said with a hint of meaning: "There are still three days left." , if Zhang is lucky enough not to die, this level will be considered passed!"

"Don't worry, General Zhang! My lord ordered someone to bring a good sore medicine, and it will surely keep General Zhang safe! After this matter is over, I believe that even a scar may not be able to stay after a few months of recuperation!" Zhu Zhi looked as if he did not understand the meaning of Zhang Ying's words, sighed, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, and evenly sprinkled the medicine powder on Zhang Ying's back, and instantly gushed out fine powder on Zhang Ying's back. The bubbling caused Zhang Ying to twitch again.

A total of eighty sticks, almost killing most of Zhang Ying's life.And because of the pain caused by the medicine, Zhang Ying thought of dying for a while.After Zhu Zhi's sentence was finished, he ordered people to carry Zhang Ying to a secret room, ordered the doctors to take care of him, and came to find Sun Ce to tell him.Even Sun Ce, who is so used to the battlefield and has seen many people who lived and died, could not help showing a bit of horror after hearing Zhang Ying's tragic situation, and hurriedly ordered Zhu Zhi to ask the doctors to treat him attentively, and at the same time, again As a subordinate of Zhang Ying, he went to seek the exact time of the "rescue" with Guo Jia, the mastermind of the Qingzhou Army who wanted to "recruit" him privately.

"General Qin, Guo Junshi, Liu Shijun, Zhang Zhi, who claims to be Zhang Ying's disciple, is here again!" In Qin Xu's barracks in Jiangzhu, Qin Xu was pulling Guo Jia, who had neither nose nor eyes nor eyes, with his own cheap "Big brother" Liu Yao made contact, and of course, he may not have taken the opportunity to investigate the meaning of the quarrel between Guo Jia and Liu Yao. While chatting, he suddenly heard a report from Tai Shici, who was supposed to be on duty today.

"Zhang Zhi?" The day before yesterday, Qin Xu wanted to pretend to be a second-generation ancestor who delegated power to the people and ignored him. Later, because of Guo Jia and Liu Yao's strange situation, he hadn't had time to ask the name of the person who came back last time. At this moment, he heard Tai Shici say Get up, accidentally stunned for a moment.

"Oh, brother Zhongming, this person is my brother who was originally under Zhang Ying's family in Yangzhou, and I have a vague impression of him, he is quite familiar, and I must have met him in Qu'a city. "Since he "recognized" Guo Jia, Liu You didn't know what the purpose was. The address he was reluctant to call at first became more and more intimate. Paper thanks.If it weren't for the fact that Guo Jia's face turned blue every time at this time, it might be that Qin Xu's anger would come up, and maybe he would have pushed it halfway.

"When Jia pretended to be soliciting outside the account that day, I heard that this person claimed to be Junli. He was originally the captain of Wujun. It was the Taifu Ma Rixun who confiscated him as a vassal in Shouchun at that time, and later belonged to him. Wu Jun, served under Zhang Ying's sect. Even if the name is fake, the word should not be fake. Otherwise, sooner or later Jia will see its flaws." Seeing Liu Yao's affectionate address to Qin Xu, Guo Sure enough, Jia's face flashed a little unnaturally, and he lightly told the origin of what Zhu Zhi, whose pseudonym was "Zhang Zhi", said.

"Oh, Junli? So it's him! This is a great power!" Qin Xu said with a slight smile, with a slight hook on his lips.
