Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 824 Who is the Boss!

Two gate-shaped torture racks were erected in the small square of Jiaohe City. This place used to be the place where the former car master punished criminals, and now it is used by the Great Wei Protectorate.

What is Sven sweeping the floor, this is Sven sweeping the floor!The armor and robes that Zhang Jai and Zhong Hui wore were all stripped off, and they were naked like a low-class fool, leaving only a pair of face cloth pants, and then they were hung on the torture rack with their arms straight. superior.

You can't punish a doctor, and you can't be polite to a common man!Although this is a false proposition, in the era of rampant aristocratic families, it is extremely rare for a son of a noble family like Zhong Hui to be tortured in public. With the sound of gongs beating, I was discouraged and hid in front of the barracks to sleep. Dajue's former cavalry of the capital guard, the infantry of the rear capital guard who just learned that they might be disbanded if they don't have enough to eat, as well as the common people in the city, small merchants and small officials, and tens of thousands of people of all colors. The small square was surrounded by water, and everyone watched the excitement curiously.

Now that he has figured out Zhong Yao's helpless intentions, he opened his jaw and drooped his head helplessly.

It is completely different from the previous Protectorate of the Western Regions. This term does not represent the interests of the emperor or the imperial court. It is here to maintain a plan for the balance of power in a small country. For the interests of adventurers, they want to open up markets in the Western Regions, plunder wealth, and extend the trade route to the west until they reach the legendary West Sea.

Therefore, the forces that determine the direction of the Protectorate are not the old official position, but these big capitalists and private adventurers!

This incident seems to be Zhong Hui's jealousy of Deng Ai, and deliberately provoked the defeat. In fact, it also implies a power struggle between the two camps. With Zhong Hui as the leader, nearly 100 backbones of the Central Plains family were dispatched to the Western Regions. , the Central Plains forces who formed the team for Cao Zhang, and the native Kansai forces like Deng Ai and Wang Shuang.

Just like the suppression of Guanxi by the Kanto gentry in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, whether it is Zhong Hui, Yang Jun, or Zhang Jai, they all want to continue to implement the official position, especially after Cao Zhangdong failed to fight for the right of inheritance. Urgently wanting to gain the right to rule in the Western Regions and maintain their own status, this has caused them to prefer to sell the interests of the Protectorate, but also to suppress the local military officers.

But now, the local forces are no longer soft persimmons!In just a few days, with Wang Changle as the core of this connection, he almost connected all the forces investing in the Western Regions together, so that the officers and officers from the Kanto region understand who is the master!
No food, no pay, no reinforcements, the Western Regions Protectorate was established to meet the needs of the big guys to open up the Western Regions. If the Protectorate deviates from this need and wants to ride on top of everyone, these big business groups in Liaodong and Kansai Adventurers can abandon them at any time, invest their capital in other people's homes, and even everyone can save it without sending it out. Wait for a while, and rebuild a new Protectorate after the Protectorate itself collapses without water or sources. .

The team of Zhong Yao is not indispensable to Changle, to the Zhuge clan of the Wang family of the Hu family, Gao family, and the landlords and knights in Kansai, but conversely, can Zhong Yao and others lack the support of these forces?The answer is absolutely not!

It's only been a few days, and old Zhong Yao, who is good at scheduling and talented as a prime minister, has already become a clever woman who can't cook without rice!Zhang Jai and Guo Huai are indeed fierce generals, and the [-] elite troops of the hegemony are also a fierce brigade, but without the support of these big business families, they are also a flower in Jing Zhongyue's mirror. Without food or drink, the only way is to disband, abandon the cause of the Western Regions and return to the Central Plains. Sorry, there is no door.

A while ago, Cao Hong, Cao Cao’s starting general, because he was on Cao Zhi’s side when he was standing in line, Cao Pi almost killed him because of the trivial matter of his disciples breaking the law. Dog's life, and was deprived of all rights and titles by Cao Pi.

They didn't do well under Cao Zhang's subordinates in the Western Region, and they were driven back. They still want to start anew in the imperial court of Yecheng?Sorry, Cao Pi doesn't collect junk either!
So Zhang Jai and Zhong Hui had to accept this humiliation, to show that the Kanto faction officially kowtowed and surrendered to the local forces!

Behind the back, Cao Dadu, who went drinking everywhere and solved the matter, had a flushed face from drinking. Under the respect of old Zhongyou holding his fist, he dressed in the armor he hastily put on, and walked to the front of the stage Beside him, Wang Changle also followed up with great excitement.

This is the first time for her to solve a year's major problem according to the life experience taught by her father Wang Hou, and it is the first time for her to experience the power of manipulating power.
He had guessed the result a long time ago, looking at the boiling crowd, Cao Zhang tilted his head arrogantly.

"Execute!"

"Old man, follow orders!"

"Da Du has an order, and there are two generals, Zhong Hui, with his jaws open, timid and not brave, and will not go forward when encountering the enemy! Abandoning the friendly army led to the defeat of the Battle of Shule, and he deserves to die! However, the death penalty is too light! Today in public One hundred lashes, denounced as the vanguard of the cannon fodder battalion, to atone for his crime, and executed!"

While speaking, the two whippers ruthlessly turned the long and heavy whips in their hands, and whipped them down with a whistling sound, and the clear and crisp sound of whipping came out immediately.

Don't underestimate a hundred lashes, the only Malaysia in the future that still practice caning, three or five lashes is enough to make a strong man cry!Even if he is as strong as jaws open, his whole body can't help trembling violently when he is called out.

And while being tortured, he was still roaring with all his strength.

"The soldiers don't want to learn how to open their jaws!"

"Clap~"

"Cowardly enemies and cowards end here!"

"My Capital Protectorate's army is one, and those who abandon their allies will die! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

However, during the crackling whipping of the two, the morale of the Duhufu army, which had been getting lower and lower, was raised again, watching the whip whip after whip, and the hissing sound in pain. Roaring, I don't know which soldier involuntarily raised his fist, and roared like venting the grievances in his heart these days.

"Dadu Protectorate!"

Like a spark, a cry gradually ignited the burning point in everyone's heart, and their fists followed the rhythm of whipping, and they all raised their fists with great excitement and shouted wildly.

"Dadu Protectorate!!!"

Sometimes justice will be late, but it will never fail to come. Zhong Yao's compromise and surrender this time can be regarded as regaining a bit of life for the Protectorate. They were glued together again, and the sound of cheers reached its climax especially when Deng Ai was also released and carried to the square by the sergeant full of astonishment.

However, in the great pain, Zhong Hui raised his arms high and was sweating profusely, seeing the hero being held up and cheered by the crowd, the resentment and resentment even flowed out!
