"Hey. He kills whole families at every turn. He is indeed the general who helped the Han Dynasty slaughter the city and destroy the country." Zhang Guangcheng sighed, lowered his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Amitabha."
"I dare to ask General. Do you have nightmares when you sleep at night?"
"Is it because you had nightmares at night that you built such a temple in this manor?" Wu Nian laughed and asked.
"Of course I also have nightmares. I just hate that I didn't kill enough." Then he wrote lightly.
"Amitabha." After hearing this, Zhang Guangcheng's face trembled, he clasped his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name again.
"Old boy. Do you want to do it or not?" Wu Nian gradually lost his patience and asked impatiently.
"Yes. But I also ask the general to agree to a few conditions." Zhang Guangcheng opened his eyes, raised his head and said seriously.
"First. I want to decide your head. You helped the pirates sell their stolen goods and fueled the pirates' arrogance. I can't see the sand in my eyes."
"Second, I've secured your property."
Wu Nian stood up and looked at Zhang Guangcheng condescendingly. His left hand was holding the handle of the knife at his waist. His body was like a javelin and his attitude was extremely tough.
"Hey." Li Tianbao sneered and stood beside Wu Nian with his head held high. The rest of the soldiers showed murderous intent.
"Death is a relief for me. I am not begging for my life." Zhang Guangcheng shook his head, then stood up, clasped his hands and bowed to Wu Nian and said: "First. Before I started this line of work, We have one hundred acres of thin farmland at home. This land is clean. Please leave a message to the general’s men and leave one hundred acres of thin farmland for my descendants so that they won’t starve to death on the streets.”
Said. Zhang Guangcheng walked calmly, came to the corner of the Buddhist hall, took out pen and ink and wrote many words on a piece of paper, handed it to Wu Nian, and said: "Since the general is not afraid of killing, then the people on this list should still be General, please kill them all."
Wu Nian raised his eyebrows, reached for the paper and took a look. His eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked at Zhang Guangcheng in surprise.
"As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. How could you be so cruel?"
Among the people on this list is Zhang Guangcheng’s eldest son Zhang Yongyuan.
"Amitabha. He is ruthless and ambitious. General, you have confiscated his family property. He will definitely not accept it and will kill himself to retaliate against the general. Sooner or later, my whole family will be killed. Kill a hundred of them. As for the others, they are all desperadoes gathered by my family. If you kill, you will kill."
Zhang Guangcheng lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
"Okay. I agree to your terms. I will leave one hundred acres of thin farmland for your family. But I have to investigate the people on this list so as not to kill good people."
Wu Nian folded the paper, put it away, and agreed.
"It turns out that the general is not a butcher." Zhang Guangcheng was also a little surprised and looked up at Wu Nian.
There are too many legends about this person in front of me, butcher is the mainstream. I didn't expect that in this thick fog, I could actually get a glimpse of his true face.
He still has principles when it comes to killing people.
Wu Nian didn't talk nonsense with him. He turned to Li Tianbao and said, "Keep everyone under guard. When the matter is done, kill the people you want to kill."
"All the confiscated property will be given to you. I will ask the prefect Lu Sheng to help you recruit shipwrights and soldiers to build warships."
"Their family made their fortune by selling stolen goods and drank the blood of the people. Now I use his family's property for the navy, which can be regarded as making the best use of it."
"Yes." Li Tianbao took a deep breath, straightened his chest and abdomen, and lowered his head after responding loudly.
Wu Nian nodded, left the main hall, got on his horse, and returned to the city surrounded by a small number of soldiers.
He can be considered a repentant old man.
But without Li Tianbao's knowledge, without his arrival. The old man just repented and recited the Buddha's name with peace of mind until his death.
The people of the Zhang family continue to live a prosperous life like a master.
This wretched place exudes a foul stench. Wu Nian didn't want to stay even for a second.
............
morning.
The sun is a bit harsh.
Xiong Wuwo led the horse infantry and returned to Ke County. Then he came to Wu Jing's mansion with only dozens of soldiers.
"Huh." At the door, Xiong Wuwo stretched out his hand and tugged on his jacket. Even though it was a summer jacket, it was still very hot when he wore it.
"Let someone bring me some fruits." Xiong Wuwo was thirsty. He turned around and ordered his soldiers, then entered the mansion and came to the main room.
"General Xiong. What should we do now?" Wu Jing's face was ugly. When he saw Xiong Wuwo, he asked directly.
The battle for Wanghaishan failed. Not only did they fail to contain Wu Nian, they actually made Wu Nian stronger.
There are six cities in Yingqing Prefecture.
The four cities of Guangchuan Prefecture.
Now there are ten cities under Wu Nian's rule.
Saying "princes" is completely qualified.
"We still need to use Long Qie's line to kill Wu Nian. Then annex his army." Xiong Wuwo came to the main seat and sat down on the left Taishi chair and said.
"Of course Long Qie is a killer move, but his soldiers are too few. Didn't the general say before that he needs to plan well?"
Wu Jing frowned, shook his head and said.
at this time. Xiong Wuwo's personal soldiers came in carrying seasonal fruits. Xiong Wuwo grabbed a big peach and started to bite it. With his mouth full of juice, he finished it in two or three bites.
Wu Jing saw that he was enjoying the meal. The weather was hot now, so he couldn't help but grab a big peach to eat, but he ate it more gracefully, in small bites.
"Then increase our bargaining chip. I have investigated before. Compared with the other captains under Wu Nian, Zhao Yanting does not seem to be so determined. You can send someone to try to shake him up."
"In addition. Now Wu Nian is competing with me. Although there is no big battle, the traitor's heart is already known to everyone. We secretly sent people to post notices in ten cities."
"Calling the people to rebel against him."
"Although Wu Nian is popular, Chu State is still orthodox, and there will always be people who will support us."
Xiong Wuwo finished one peach and asked for another. He said as he ate the peach, his cheeks bulging.
"Zhao Yanting seems to be relatively easy to sway." Wu Jing's eyes lit up, he held his beard and pondered for a moment. Then he raised his head and said, "Let's jointly write a letter and stamp it with our seal."
"Promise him a second-grade lieutenant general position."
"Yes. If Zhao Yanting changes sides, we can unite with Long Qie again. We should cooperate internally and externally. We are not afraid that Wu Nian will not capsize the boat."
"By the way, there are also officials and people from various places."
Xiong Wuwo nodded, with a sneer on his face.
Wu Nian, Wu Nian, if you don’t toast me, you will be fined with wine. I won't be polite and will directly kill you.
After the annexation, I will lead your army to pacify Liaodong. Prominent military exploits are at your fingertips.
