Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 475
Chapter [-]

Chen Ying was also very distressed about how to deal with the issue of Zhu Can's surrender.If according to Li Shimin's opinion, they were directly reorganized as soldiers of the Tang army, emotionally speaking, Chen Ying would not be willing to do so.Perhaps not all of Zhu Can's men were scum and scum, but there were many soldiers who followed Zhu Can to eat human flesh.

Whether these cannibal soldiers were born instinctively or coerced, they couldn't change the fact that they were already cannibals.In Chen Ying's mind, people can die of illness, old age, be killed, starve to death, or even be frightened to death, but what Chen Ying can't accept the most is that people will be eaten like food.

Chen Ying really couldn't imagine that Pao Ze, who got along day and night, accidentally became the food in the belly of the other party.

While Chen Ying was thinking about how to deal with the ogre army under Zhu Can's command, Zhou Chengdong had already completed his masterpiece.

Zhou Chengdong asked an important craftsman to build a wooden cage, and fixed Zhu Can's hands with iron nails. At this time, four iron nails were inserted into the palms of Zhu Can's hands, and the sudden severe pain made Zhu Can's face distort. become more ferocious.

Chen Ying also did not expect that under such circumstances, Zhu Can could still show his final madness. He actually used his tongue to push out the stinky sock stuffed into his mouth.You must know that this is not a TV show, the sock stuffed in his mouth has been stretched to the limit, and when Zhu Can pushes the stinky sock out of his mouth, the corner of his mouth is also dripping with blood.

From Zhu Can's throat, he could only make a whooping sound like killing a chicken: "With this little ability, there is no way to make this king submit!"

"You are wrong!" Chen Ying pointed at Zhu Can who was in a daze, with an extremely disdainful expression on his face: "This general has no interest in making you submit. This general has only one purpose, which is to let you die, to make you regret, despair and Die in pain."

Zhou Chengdong chattered evilly and said with a chattering smile: "Do you really think that the Lord will execute you in such a simple way?"

Zhu Canju shouted loudly: "Isn't it?"

Zhou Chengdong laughed chatteringly, and then asked someone to pull a fishing net. The fishing net was tightly pulled by two soldiers, strangling Zhu Can's body.At this time, Zhou Chengdong opened the package that had been carried on his back. The packages were all knives, big and small, of different lengths. There were common boning knives and Jie knives, but there were more uncommon knives.

The smile on Zhou Chengdong's face became wider and wider, making people feel more and more weird. He took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing. The blade was about four inches long, and the handle was only six fingers long.He could barely hold the small knife with two fingers.

Chen Ying feels very familiar, it seems to be the scalpel of later generations, but it doesn't quite look like it.The scalpel is also three points larger than this knife.

Zhou Chengdong took out the wine gourd from his waist, took a few gulps of wine, and then sprayed the wine on the knife.The knife in Zhou Chengdong's hand flashed coldly, and blood appeared on the wound at this time.

Zhu Can's face instantly changed.

Chen Ying said coldly: "His Royal Highness Jialou, how do you feel? This punishment is called Ling Chi, which means thousands of knives. If Zhou Chengdong kills you before [-] knives, he will be punished. Of course, if If he survives three thousand six hundred knives, he will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

Because of Zhou Chengdong's swordsmanship prince, Zhu Can's tolerance for pain is extremely strong, so at this moment, he hummed and said: "Mysterious tricks, it's just mutilation, haven't you seen it before?"

"I hope you can still laugh later!" Chen Ying reached out and patted Zhu Can's face lightly, and said coldly, "Enjoy it!"

Saying that, Chen Ying really couldn't watch such a bloody scene.

……

The soldiers of the Zhu Can tribe were bound with cowhide ropes, and they were locked in tents one by one.Chen Yingsi thought about it, but finally he couldn't bear the desire to execute all the prisoners.Just like in Cao Zijian's poem: "It is born from the same root, why is it too urgent to confront each other?" If these captives were Hu people and committed heinous crimes of cannibalism, Chen Ying would naturally not mind beheading these captives , built into the capital, cloth Wei Quartet.

However, most of the soldiers under Zhu Can's command were ordinary farmers, either coerced or forced by life.To be precise, none of the crimes they committed were original sins.

Chen Ying finally decided: "Evil must be punished, and threats are lenient". All the soldiers under Zhu Can's command have no one who will not touch them. As long as they take the initiative or instigate them, there is no reason to talk kill directly.As for the forced captives, Chen Ying planned to send them to the gold mines, where they would dig until they died of old age.

After Chen Ying thought of this method, he gave Zhou Qing and Guo Luo instructions for a while. At this time, Zhou Qing and Guo Luo took Chen Ying's personal guards and scattered them into the tents of the prisoners.

"General Chen has an order that only the chief culprit will be punished, and the subordinates will be spared from death. Report the chief culprit, and he will be spared death after verification."

Hearing this, the prisoners immediately boiled.From the moment many prisoners put down their weapons, their hearts were hanging in the air, not knowing how Tang Jun would deal with them.Hearing this, the culprits are naturally not counted, but those culprits are downcast and terrified.

These captured soldiers began to scramble to report the culprit to the soldiers of the Tang army. Of course, it was inevitable that they bit and framed each other.However, in the end, Chen Ying only killed more than [-] culprits, and the [-] captives who were reported were put in shackles by soldiers of the Tang army and locked up alone.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"General Chen is free from courtesy!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "How does General Chen plan to deal with these prisoners?"

"Oh, only punish the chief villain, and avoid death by threatening the subordinate!" Chen Ying handed the pamphlet he had just sorted out to Li Shimin, and then explained: "I will execute all the more than [-] officers above the school lieutenant and above among the prisoners of Zheng Jun, and the rest will be killed." There are more than [-] people among them, and I plan to put these captives in shackles, send them to Taolin to dig gold mines, and let one of the five ordinary mines monitor them until they die of old age!"

Li Shimin nodded. Chen Ying only killed more than [-] people. Li Shimin was very satisfied with the result. Change the battlefield gains.

The key is that there are more than [-] captives. Li Shimin can also select thousands of soldiers from these more than [-] captives. If he selects some young and strong men from the peasants, he can form thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.

Li Shimin also knew that the time was urgent, and without any pause, he immediately ordered Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan to take over the prisoners.

After Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan left, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Shan Xiongxin were left in the tent.Suddenly, Li Shimin stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ying's hand, walked to the door of the tent, looked at the rain curtain outside the tent: "General Chen, King Gu hopes that you can advance and retreat together with Gu."

Chen Ying was taken aback, Li Shimin was too straightforward, right?

Li Shimin would win him over. Chen Ying had already been mentally prepared, but Chen Ying did not expect him to win over Chen Ying so straightforwardly.Chen Ying didn't look into Li Shimin's eyes, but looked back at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji. Chen Ying secretly thought, who came up with this bad idea.

Looking at Changsun Wuji, Chen Ying shook his head.Although Changsun Wuji doesn't have great wisdom, he is not lacking in small cleverness. If such a choice is neither black nor white, Changsun Wuji should not be so determined.

In fact, Chen Ying has been forced into a dead end by Li Shimin at this time. Can Chen Ying agree to join Li Shimin and betray Li Jiancheng?Chen Ying is really not that kind of person. Chen Ying's style of dealing with people has always respected me a foot, and I make people respect him.Although Li Jiancheng had an unpleasant relationship with Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng's kindness to Chen Ying's knowledge and support made Chen Ying betray Li Jiancheng, but Chen Ying could not accept it emotionally. ,

In desperation, Chen Ying had no choice but to pretend to be confused: "I don't understand what His Royal Highness Qin Wang means!"

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a little disappointment in his eyes, but this look of not disappointment disappeared in a flash.

Li Shimin let go of Chen Ying's hand, pointed in the direction of Luoyang City, and said loudly: "General Chen, now Luoyang is a piece of fat, and Wang Shichong is a dead fish. Do you want to return without success?"

Chen Ying said seriously: "I am not reconciled either!"

"Gu is not reconciled!" Li Shimin said: "So Gu rejected the emperor's proposal to retreat!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin in amazement and said, "Dou Jiande's army can reach Luoyang City within ten days or half a month. Is His Royal Highness King Qin absolutely sure to capture Luoyang City within ten days or half a month?"

"It can't be done!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Luoyang City has high walls and thick walls. Let alone ten days, even half a month, Gu is not absolutely sure to capture it."

"Yes, but Dou Jiande came too fast!" Chen Ying picked up a chopstick, broke off a piece, and used the chopsticks as sharp as a point to draw a schematic diagram of Luoyang's surroundings.

Chen Ying asked without raising his head: "How long will it take His Royal Highness King Qin to conquer Luoyang City?"

"With the current strength, it can take as long as three months, or as slow as half a year!" Li Shimin said: "A few days ago, the fire in Luoyang City burned many houses, including a granary. According to reliable information, the fire in Luoyang City Food, only 30 shi."

"30 shi? So little?" Chen Ying was very surprised. Did he accidentally burn down a granary in order to rescue Shan Xiongxin's family last time.In fact, as early as the 12th year of Daye, when Li Mi attacked Luoyang, there were more than 80 soldiers and horses in Dongdu at that time, and the population was close to 30.Although fleeing or dying in these years, Luoyang's population is still not less than 40 people. With the army, Luoyang City has a population of nearly [-].The food in Luoyang City is actually less than one stone per capita, which means that within three months, Luoyang will run out of food.

Li Shimin's intention is to surround Luoyang City and exhaust the food in Luoyang City. If there is no food and grass from outside, Luoyang can be destroyed without attack.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "If Luoyang wants to take Luoyang, I have a way!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "What way?"

Chen Ying pointed to the simple topographical map he had just drawn on the ground and said: "Luoyang City is surrounded by four fortresses, and there are many majestic passes. The eight gates!"

Li Shimin nodded.As for the map of Luoyang, Li Shimin actually didn't need to look at it at all. The topographic map around Luoyang had already been installed in his mind.Hangu Pass is in the west of Luoyang, and Dou Jiande cannot fly through it at all, while the four passes of Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, and Shenyuan mainly guard against enemy threats from the south or southeast, so Dou Jiande, unless he is mentally ill, Only then will I turn to the south line for thousands of miles.

At this time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji all surrounded him, while Chen Ying and the other five squatted on the ground without any image.Everyone looked at the map drawn by Chen Ying.

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Chen Ying and said, "The revolving door?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "To reach Luoyang, Dou Jiande has only one way. He passes through the Hulao from Xingyang, breaks through the revolving door pass, and breaks through the pass. I lead the left and right guards in the East Palace plus the left and right officials, twenty-five thousand Soldiers and horses can guard to ensure that the revolving door, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, Hulao pass, and the four passes are not lost within half a year."

6000 troops sound like a lot, but they have to defend four levels separately and share them on average. There are no more than [-] troops in one level, which is really not a lot.

Li Shimin thought for a while, he now has [-] captives, and together with the remnants of civilian husbands, how can he reorganize an army of [-]. It is naturally impossible for these [-] troops to completely encircle Luoyang City, but now Wang Shichong dare not fight him at all. At this time, Li Shimin can also transfer the Hedong Army to the south, or ask for help from Luoyang.

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "If you talk about slashing swords immediately and being majestic, there is only General Chen."

"But!" Chen Ying said suddenly at this moment.

"But what?" Li Shimin's heart tightened.

Chen Yingdao: "The horses of the cavalry with hooks and spears under my command are all lost. If His Royal Highness King Qin can send [-] horses to Hulao Pass, then I will dare to issue a military order!"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Yes, the lonely king will ask the father to order the horses from Chang'an Shanglin Racecourse, but it will take half a month at the fastest!"

"As long as it's within a month, it doesn't matter if the horse arrives at Hulao Pass!" Chen Ying said again: "I also ask His Royal Highness King Qin to give me the right to make decisions on the fly!"

"It's up to you!" Li Shimin said without hesitation.

Chen Ying said again: "His Royal Highness, please don't believe in rumors. Unless you see the body of the minister with your own eyes, or see Dou Jiande's army arrive at the city of Luoyang with your own eyes, don't believe the news of your surrender or defection!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's all up to you!"

Chen Ying no longer hesitated: "I will use Xiangshang's head and Hou Mo's family as security. If you can't keep the four gates, I would like to see you with your head up!"
