I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 324: The people applauded, and the rebels were panicked

It is said that Zhongshan Li Tie was dragged away in pain and unwillingness, while the pseudo-dynasty crown prince Zhang Dong was imprisoned first as the biggest gain of this battle and would be handed over to the court for execution.

Under the moonlight, tears glistened in the eyes of the little girl from the Zheng family. When she saw the villain's miserable end, she shed tears of excitement and kept thanking Su Yao.

And Su Yao naturally would not forget the contribution of this little girl.

For this girl who lost her loved ones in the chaos, Su Yao made an exception and gave her treatment as a martyr's orphan, and paid her regular pension.

But giving money is clearly not enough.

Even simply giving money may harm the child.

Zhen Jiang, who is also a woman, obviously understands this.

Therefore, she decided to take the girl in and let her live with her, to ensure that the money would be put to good use and the girl would grow up well.

As for Li Tie and other thieves who were captured tonight, Su Yao ordered them to be beheaded in public at noon tomorrow.

So, the next day, the Zhongshan rebels led by Li Tie were beheaded and thrown into the streets in front of the whole city, and the chaos in the city finally ended completely.

The scene of heads rolling in the market not only did not scare the crowd, but instead attracted applause from the people.

"Marquis Su's officers and soldiers are so brave that they put down the rebellion in just one day. It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty and the people!" An old man stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes, and he also stood up for us common people and punished those corrupt officials and scum of aristocratic families who usually abused their power. It really made people happy!" A young craftsman echoed.

"Yes, yes, yes, did you see that? The one in the middle is the famous young master of the Li family!"

Another middle-aged businessman said:

"He is so aloof on weekdays, and thinks he is the best among the famous families in Zhongshan.

Who would have thought that he was actually doing all kinds of evil things behind the scenes, using his subordinates to rob and rob, not to mention murder and robbery, and he was so bold as to hide a serious criminal! "

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. The young master of the Li family usually pretends to be gentle and elegant, but I didn't expect him to be such a scum!"

A vegetable seller nearby also interrupted.

"This Lord Su did a great job!"

"I heard that the warehouse will be opened to release grain today."

"What a blue sky!"

The common people on this side applauded and praised highly, but the remaining children of the noble families on the other side were furious and terrified.

Those children of noble families who usually look down on others and think highly of themselves now feel unprecedented panic and anxiety.

They could never have imagined that Lord Su, who had just entered the city, would enforce the law with such an iron fist.

Originally, they were still colluding today, hoping to smooth things over through their connections in the court to at least save the life of the eldest son of the Li family.

Unexpectedly, Lord Su did not give him any chance and beheaded him in public.

It's too cruel, it's really too cruel.

They were so frightened by what they saw.

Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun and others were even more filled with emotion.

They originally thought that although Su Yao was brave and fearless, he would still be cautious in front of these aristocratic families and would restrain himself appropriately and not dare to offend them easily.

After all, these aristocratic families are deeply rooted in the local area, have great power, and have close ties with many officials in the court.

To this end, they have also advised and suggested adopting a more cautious strategy, using courtesy before force, or at least looking for solid evidence before taking action.

After all, they were only generals in battle, not local county magistrates or prefects. There was no need to risk offending the local nobles by doing things so thoroughly.

However, Su Yao rushed into the Li Mansion regardless of the dangers and not only found the hidden prince Zhang Dong of the pseudo-dynasty, but also uncovered evidence of the numerous crimes committed by the Li family in the past.

This series of actions shocked Cao Cao and others.

This boy is so young, capable, and so courageous, it's really amazing. He is simply a breath of fresh air in this turbid world, not afraid of the powerful and disregarding personal gains and losses for the sake of the world and the people, it's really admirable.

However, the more brilliant the friendly forces' achievements, the more troublesome their mediocre performance becomes.

What Cao Cao and others felt most regretful about was, of course, that all their hard work had been in vain.

With the conquest of Lunu, the Northern Expedition had come to an end, but their achievements were unremarkable and far from what they had imagined when they first set out to defend the king.

This Lord Su was always victorious in battle and conquest. It would have been fine if it was just an ordinary battle, but he could even take down a city overnight.

It's a foul!
This time, they were about to successfully accept the surrender, but he drove them ahead again. It was such a pity.

The remaining opportunities to make meritorious contributions are becoming increasingly fewer.

Only the county towns of Zhuo County and part of Guangyang that had previously fallen to the bandits remained.

However, while Cao Cao and others were resting their troops in Lunu City and waiting for new orders from the central army, they turned their attention to the two counties of Youzhou.

The local area was in complete chaos.

"Have you heard about it? Have you heard about it?"

"Lecheng fell, Lunu fell."

"The emperor went on a hunt to the north and disappeared, while the crown prince Zhang Dong and the general of the cavalry were captured by the government troops!"

Zhuo County.

This county town, located in the northern part of Zhongshan State, now in Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, is a place where people are in turmoil at this moment.

Zhuo County, a neighbor of Zhongshan Lunu on the Hebei Plain, was the first to receive news of their disastrous defeat in the southern capital.

In Zhuo County, the news spread like wildfire, causing panic and chaos.

This county town, which had just been captured due to the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, was now in a state of panic.

Especially those officials.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, who came from a noble family in Youzhou, attracted a lot of sponsorship from their fellow villagers here.

After taking the city, these fellow villagers changed their appearances and took up their posts.

As a result, before they had even had time to get comfortable, such shocking news came, immediately throwing them into a panic.

"How is it possible, how is it possible?"

Outside the prefect's mansion, the prefect of Zhuo County looked at the panicked crowd and stamped his feet at the officials, saying:
“Let’s not talk about Lecheng. Lunu is the capital of the Great Yan State. Your Majesty and the general have built this foundation for several years. How could it be easily destroyed?

It is impossible to do it just from a time perspective!

This must be fake news spread by the thief to disrupt our army's morale. Send people to find out the source immediately and behead those who spread the rumor!"

After hearing what the county governor said, Bing Cao was shocked and said:

"Oh, County Magistrate, you can't do that, you can't do that!"

"This is absolutely true. Someone from my family has also sent a message."

"That new champion is a genius."

"In one day, just one day, he conquered the strong cities of Lecheng and Lunu."

"This efficiency is absolutely amazing. I can't think of any words to describe it."

"If he comes, he won't give you the chance to surrender. Everyone will die!"

"You'd better come up with an idea quickly!"
