Chapter 289 Xuzhou’s Great Reckoning! (Part 1)
Outside Xuzhou City.
The chaotic battlefield is coming to an end.
The peasant soldiers gathered outside the gate of Xuzhou City have been attacked by the trapped camps, and they are beaten to death and flee.
Only some injured peasant soldiers were left behind, lying on the ground and wailing.
"Stop!"
Xu Chang saw that the peasant army had lost its resistance, so he did not chase after him and killed him, but quickly issued an order to stop.
The soldiers of the trapped camp returned to the team one after another, and the city gate was unobstructed, and no one dared to stand in front of the trapped camp anymore.
At this moment, Gao Shun and Wang Zhi from the Central Military Office slowly came to the front of the army and looked at Xuzhou Prefecture in front of them.
"General Gao Shun, the people who are blocking the entry into the city have dispersed. The trapped camp can attack the city at any time!"
Gao Shun nodded. Just as he was about to issue an order to attack the city, the tightly closed city gate in front was suddenly opened.
A middle-aged man in military uniform, led a dozen people out of the city gate and bowed his hands and fists at them. "The last general Xuzhou Prefecture commander Cui Zhu welcomes the imperial army and enters the city to suppress the rebellion!"
This is already very obvious. Cui Zhu takes the initiative to offer the city, just to surrender.
However, the peasant army blocking the road was beaten away, and you only realized that you were going to open the city gate and surrender.
It is conceivable how sincere Cui Zhu was when he opened the door and surrendered at this time.
Gao Shun's expression did not change much. He just waved to the army behind him: "Enter the city and take over all the military and political affairs of Xuzhou Prefecture."
"Yes, General!"
Under Xu Chang's command, the camp, the Three Thousand Battalions, the Shenji Camp, and the border troops who were supporting him, they were divided into two routes and entered Xuzhou City from both sides in turn.
Gao Shun, Wang Zhi, Xu Chang and others entered Xuzhou Prefecture from the middle of the city gate.
Cui Zhugong waited aside and followed the few people to the Xuzhou Prefecture City.
As soon as he walked out of the city gate, Gao Shun and others saw four old men kneeling in front of the city gate.
What's strange is that these four old men's mouths are covered in blood and blood is still dripping.
Their clothes were stained red with blood.
Gao Shun frowned, with a little confused expression.
Cui Zhu followed up at the right time and explained, "General, these four are the patriarchs of the four major families of Xuzhou Prefecture." "The general may not know that these four major families are domineering in Xuzhou Prefecture and causing harm to the other side is a major disaster for Xuzhou Prefecture!" "They oppress the people, and they have occupied a lot of land for Xuzhou Prefecture in the fish countryside." Cui Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was righteous. "I'm not hiding it to you, I have incited the people to attack Pei County Government, beat the magistrate of Pei County to kill, and drive away the imperial envoy from the court. These are all secretly supported by the four patriarchs."
"The purpose is to stop the imperial envoys from investigating the land in Xuzhou Prefecture, and protect the land they bullied."
"In addition, today, these four of them were also gathering the surrounding peasant army and blocking the gate of Xuzhou City, trying to prevent all the adults from entering the city to quell the rebellion!"
"These four people are extremely guilty and cannot be punished!"
Cui Zhu said with gritted his teeth, and even he wanted to believe it. "The generals have long wanted to eliminate the harm for the people and take down these four people. Unfortunately, the four major families have a huge influence in Xuzhou Prefecture, and even I, as the commander, cannot do anything to them."
"Fortunately, Your Majesty sent troops to Xuzhou Prefecture to quell the rebellion, which gave the Du General the opportunity to eliminate violence and maintain good fortune." "The Du General had spent a lot of effort before capturing these four people alive, and now he is specially handed over to all the adults to deal with it!" After Cui Zhu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Gao Shun and others, his face full of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, enduring humiliation and carrying heavy burdens, and the joy of having the hardships.
Gao Shun didn't say anything, but looked at Wang Zhi beside him. He was only responsible for quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan and eradicating all enemies standing in front of them.
As for how to deal with these sinners, Wang Zhi, the West Factory Supervisor, will be responsible.
Wang Zhi faced the expressionless and said lightly: "Qin Lu."
"Subordinate is here."
Ten Lu walked up from behind Wang Zhi, glanced at the patriarchs of the four major clans, Cui Zhu and others kneeling on the ground, and bowed respectfully to Wang Zhi.
After seeing Qin Lu's appearance, the four patriarchs were shocked, with deep despair and regret in their eyes.
"Ah Ah Ba... Ah Ba..."
They opened their mouths wide and tried hard to roar, wanting to say something.
But what came out of their mouths was only a series of roars of unknown significance.
When Qin Lu was in Qingzhang land in Fengxian and Peixian, he had a lot of dealings with people from these four major families, and both sides were still very familiar with each other.

When they saw Qin Lu appear, how could these four clan leaders not be excited?
But what happened later deeply stimulated their nerves and made them extremely excited.
"There are no descendants of the four major families, and no matter men or women, they will beheaded!"
"Take more people and kill them carefully. Anyone who is in contact with them will not be kept!"
"Yes, the factory governor!"
After Qin Lu bowed his hand to take the order, he looked at the four clan leaders so cruel that he didn't have any feelings.
Such cold eyes made the four clan leaders feel in a panic and extremely frightened.
They never expected that this Western Factory manga would be so cruel when they started.
It’s not all that I can only kill them. I will kill the nine clans with one move!
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah Ba! Ah Ba!"
The four clan leaders were heart-wrenching, but no one cared about their feelings.
After hearing Wang Zhi's order, Cui Zhu felt full of fear, but his face showed an expression of incomparable agreement.
Cui Zhu was extremely scared and felt extremely grateful.
Fortunately, I predicted the situation in advance, took the initiative to open the door and surrender, and presented the four patriarchs.
It seems that these adults who went south are all focusing on these four major families, and they have been able to escape.
Just when Cui Zhu was thinking this way, suddenly, Wang Zhi's eyes looked straight towards Cui Zhu.
Cui Zhu's heart suddenly shrank, as if a beat was missing, and he fell straight into the abyss.
Cold sweat slid silently from Cui Zhu's forehead. Just a look made Cui Zhu feel like he fell into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold from head to toe.
Immediately afterwards, Cui Zhu heard the verdict that he was driven from the clouds into the ground.
"Cui Zhu, commander, will be arrested, and will be punished after the West Factory is investigated!"
"Yes, Master of the Factory!"
For a moment, Cui Zhu felt dizzy, his eyes turned black, his head heavy, and he was about to faint on the ground.
Before he fainted, a monk from Xichang rushed over quickly, pressed him to the ground, and controlled him.
Cui Zhu woke up suddenly, and a huge panic surged into his heart. He struggled desperately and let out an excited roar.
"I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why should I arrest me!"
"Sir, please understand clearly! Sir!"
