Chapter 300 Capture


Chapter 300 Capture

Wei Tong was taken out and beheaded in public, and then more Wei party members were picked up and followed in Wei Tong's footsteps.

Wei Tong and others, as the founders of Taiping Taoism, were purged in this way, which would inevitably lead to great turmoil.

In order to control the situation, Zhang Bao kept all the young commanders in the hall and were not allowed to go out. Then Zhang Bao himself transferred his old troops in Quyang into the city and began to recruit people according to the list.

Zhang Bao did not use the soldiers and horses in the city, but specifically eliminated his old troops outside. This is because the Wei family has been rooted in Taiping Road for a long time, and no one knows how many people have benefited from it. If we use the old troops in the city, we may attack here, but the news from the other side will leak out. Therefore, foreign soldiers are usually used to perform this kind of cleaning tasks.

So from this point of view, in another dimension, Yuan Shao's suggestion that He Jin send foreign troops to Beijing to eradicate the eunuchs is still very pertinent. Because the eunuchs have been in power for more than a hundred years, who in Kyoto has nothing to do with them?

Moreover, in all previous struggles, the eunuchs were always the ones who won the final victory. Who doesn’t know that among those who grew up in Kyoto?

Therefore, if He Jin really listened to Cao Cao's advice and wanted to take down the eunuchs with only two or three people, it would be a dream. As long as He Jin gives an order, someone will be sold to the eunuchs in exchange for wealth.

Compared with using the Northern and Southern armies, the advantages of foreign troops are too great. They neither understand politics nor know any eunuchs. They just kill them if they have orders from above.

But there are also disadvantages to using foreign troops to carry out the operation, that is, if it is not done well, the massacre will be indiscriminate.

At this time, Zhang Bao's old department in Quyang was like this. Zhang Bao's old men were fighting on the front line in Quyang, and their daily lives were very difficult.

Once we began to inspect the residences of the Wei family, we saw that they were extravagant, extravagant and licentious. Especially the Wei Shou residence was filled with beauties and women from Yan and Zhao.

These bitter fellows are neither angry nor jealous. They were fighting bloody battles in the front, while these high-ranking figures known as Taoist envoys were enjoying themselves in the back. Thus, a systematic massacre began.

Zhang Bao, who originally gave the order, probably never imagined how quickly the faith of these Yellow Turban Army soldiers would collapse when they saw the arrogance of the upper class. And how crazy will the low-level soldiers who only rely on faith to restrain themselves become after the collapse of faith.

Zhang Bao doesn't know these.

At that time, Zhang Bao's old troops entered the city with 3,000 soldiers. Led by their respective military officers, they quickly raided Wei Shou's mansion and killed all of Wei Shou's party members.

At the beginning, when all the Taoist disciples in the city heard about Wei's execution, the whole city cheered. Because it is these Wei clan members who are responsible for controlling the supply of supplies to the whole city. These people usually skimp on food rations, pocketing who knows how much. Everyone has already complained.

That's not all. When the Wei Mansion was built, a lot of people were recruited, and there were many contradictions. Therefore, Wei's gangsters were arrested, and the whole process was cheered.

But gradually, the Taoist disciples watching nearby realized that something was wrong.

Those of Zhang Bao's old men who were responsible for arresting people became murderous and murderous. From the beginning, only the remnants of the Wei family were killed, to the whole family being implicated. These Yellow Turban soldiers not only killed with passion, but also had their own thoughts.

They have killed the remnants of the Wei family. Will the relatives and children left behind by these remnants not hate them? If you come into power in the future, will you retaliate against them? Rather than being retaliated against in the future, it is better to eradicate it now.

As a result, the massacre began to expand, and more and more people were involved. The blood melted the ice and snow, and the whole city was filled with a fishy stench. The remaining members of the Wei family knew that they could not survive, so they rose up to resist and fought against Zhang Bao's tribe to the death.

On this day, corpses filled the moat, and blood flowed down, only melting the frozen water.

……

While Guangzong City was hunting and killing members of the Wei clan indiscriminately, at night, outside the city, the flying army of the Taishan Army, led by the guard general Shi A, climbed over the wall and broke in, directly arresting the owner and ten of his guests. The remaining people.

The owner of this room still resisted, but Shi A cut off his thumb and threw it to the ground.

The owner covered his severed finger and said viciously:

"Who are you? Do you know who I am?"

Shi A ignored him, but a fat black man came in from outside the house and walked along the path:

"I know very well who you are, aren't you Lu Xun, general Lu Zhonglang's guard."

This man named Lu Xun turned pale when he heard this, and then he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide. But unfortunately, it was really difficult for him to commit suicide in front of Shi A.

Finally, Lu Xun, whose jaw had been removed, and a group of his gang members were put into a sealed van and sent to another place in the city.

Afterwards, the flying army officers quickly cleaned up the place and left with Dong Zhao and Lu Xun.

On the road, Dong Zhao and Shi A were in a car.

Shi A couldn't help but said to Dong Zhao:

"Mr. Envoy, do you want to tell the Taiping Road in Hebei Province about the deputy envoy's communication with Han army spies this time?"

Dong Zhao thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"This matter should not be made public. We just need to hand this person over to Ma Yuanyi."

Shi A nodded. During this time, he had been convinced of Dong Zhao, so he didn't say anything more about his decision.

Then just like that, Dong Zhao closed his eyes and rested in the car.

To be honest, Dong Zhao is really tired these days. He never expected that Guangzong would be involved in such a big whirlpool this time, but Dong Zhao also enjoyed it and played a pivotal role in it.

And the beginning of everything was when Ma Yuanyi announced that he had joined the Guangzong with the mission. After arriving at Guangzong, Ma Yuanyi left everyone and entered the military mansion. No one knows what he and Zhang Bao talked about after that. But Ma Yuanyi invited Dong Zhao and asked him to act in a play.

Later, Dong Zhao successfully lobbied Wei Shu to lead his troops to conquer Julu, and Zhang Bao took the opportunity to transfer Wei Shu away from Guangzong to prepare for the elimination of his wings later.

But in the process, a big change occurred, namely the Lutai fire this morning. This was not part of the plan of Zhang Bao and others. Even if they wanted to purge the remaining members of the Wei family, they would not risk the safety of the great virtuous master.

And the Wei family is even less likely to attack Zhang Jue, because Zhang Jue is still biased towards the Wei family, otherwise Zhang Bao would not have used the rat weapon.

Therefore, Zhang Bao and others knew that there must be another force in the city, and most of them were spies of the Han army. They set fire to Lutai to burn the Great Master, the spiritual leader of the entire Taiping Dao.

And who is this force? Dong Zhao knew exactly that. This person turned out to be none other than his deputy, Zhong Yan, a member of the Zhong clan in Changshe.

He arranged for Shi Achacha, who was monitoring Zhong Yan, to see him communicating with a group of people in the city one day before the Lutai fire. And it was these people who burned Lutai.

It turned out that Zhong Yan was really a spy of the Han army.

Then Dong Zhao and Shi Ashun found the Han army's stronghold in the city by following the clues, and then served them in one go.

……

Dong Zhao and others took Lu Xun to a private room.

At this moment, the fire in the room was burning brightly, and God sent Ma Yuanyi to personally take charge, preparing to torture Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was hung on the wooden frame. He looked at the yellow scarves who wanted to sleep on their skins and smiled contemptuously, but he was speechless because his chin had been removed.

Ma Yuanyi did not ask Lu Xun. Instead, he called an old man and asked him to concoct Lu Xun. The old man looked wretched, but when he faced Lu Xun, he felt an inexplicable eagerness. Lu Xun was a military man and was very sensitive to temperament. He only felt that this person was sinister.

The old man smiled at Lu Xun, and then began to open a box, which was filled with golden needles. The old man thought about it, took out the thinnest one, and blew it. The sound was crisp and clear.

Then Lu Xun saw the old man inserting the needle somewhere on his face, and then a heartbreaking pain came over him, making him sweat on his forehead and lose consciousness.

But it wasn't over yet. Another injection followed, and another injection. Finally, Lu Xun was soaked to the skin, with feces and urine coming out from his lower body. But the old man was still torturing him, and he couldn't help but want to die.

Finally, Lu Xun closed his eyes in despair and whined.

Ma Yuanyi, who had been watching the execution throughout the city, said slowly:

"Have you thought about it?"

Lu Xun nodded desperately.

So, Ma Yuanyi gave the old man a look. Then this person thoughtfully pulled out the needle for Lu Xun, and then the yellow scarf warrior beside him fixed Lu Xun's chin.

Ma Yuanyi said meaningfully:

"You have to seize the opportunity when it's given to you. It's not always possible to meet someone with my kind heart."

Lu Xun closed his eyes and said nothing.

Ma Yuanyi was not in a hurry and just watched.

After a long while, Lu Xun finally said:

"What do you want to know?"

Ma Yuanyi asked:

"What is your name, how did you enter the city, how did you lurk, who did you contact, and how did you burn the deer platform? In short, I am interested in knowing everything you know."

Lu Xun stopped struggling and explained the matter in detail.

His name was Lu Xun, and he was the domestic slave of Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhong Lang, and also one of his military commanders. He entered Guangzong to assassinate Zhang Jiao, the spiritual leader of Taiping Dao.

Lu Xun was in Guangzong a long time ago. In other words, when Taiping Dao attacked Guangzong, Lu Xun was sent by Lu Zhi to assist Guangzong in guarding the city.

After the city was broken, Lu Xun prepared to die in the city together with the defender, but he did not die after jumping into the moat and was fished out. After that, Lu Xun comforted the widows of former Guangzong officials who died in the city, while actively getting in touch with the Han army outside.

Soon the Han army's offensive swept into Guangzong, and Lu Xun and Lu Zhi got in touch and made an appointment to cooperate internally and externally.

Previously, Lu Xun relied on his bravery and was recruited into Yan Zheng's command. He became a captain and was in charge of fifty people. Lu Xun gathered together the elite Han troops who had been scattered in the city and joined the Yellow Turban Army together. Each of them had a hundred and ten men, and he could seize one gate.

However, the plan to seize the door was canceled because of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban who unexpectedly joined the battlefield. In this battle, the Han army was defeated. Lu Zhi led his army to Julu, and Lu Xun also lost contact with the Han army.

Just when Lu Xun was desperate and prepared to take the opportunity to leave the city, the Han army turned around and actually won a great victory in Julu. After that, the Hebei Yellow Turbans shrank from Guangzong, and the Han army contacted him again and asked him to lurk in Guangzong and take the opportunity to assassinate Zhang Jiao.

In order to make it easier for Lu Xun to win over the Yellow Turban generals, Lu Zhi also sent Lu Xun more than a dozen blank confession letters. If it is less than a thousand stones, Lu Xun can fill it in, and it will take effect once it is filled.

In this way, Lu Xun began to lurk and recruit people in the city.

The first person he found was his own Qu Shuai Yan Zheng.

Yan Zheng is an old man from Taiping Road. He is in his thirties, has a majestic appearance, a white face and a long beard, and is quite cunning. In several battles with the Han army, Yan Zheng made contributions, and was later promoted to Xiaoshuai, who would be responsible for guarding the east gate of Guangzong.

Although the east gate is far away from the direction of the Han army's attack, this is already the most suitable Yellow Turban general that Lu Xun can come into contact with.

In fact, it is very dangerous for Lu Xun to seek strict government.

Because of his strict administration, agility and alertness, he is a capable person in the army and is the first echelon among the young commanders. It turned out that during the Guangping War, the Hebei Yellow Turbans originally planned to use strict government to replace Yang Feng in guarding the important areas of Guangping.

But before Yan Zheng could leave, Guangping had already been captured by Lu Zhi’s army. People at the time sighed:

"As long as strict government is in place, Guangping will not be lost."

From this, it can be seen that Yan Zheng is good at fighting and is quite famous in the military. Moreover, when Lu Xun found Yan Zheng, he was at the height of his power, so how could he change sides?

But in fact, Lu Xun was right in his bet, and Yan Zheng was really instigated by him to rebel, and the price was the prosecution of Ye Chengwei. However, Yan Zheng was also very cunning. He did not actually participate in Lu Xun's affairs, but turned a blind eye to his actions and acquiesced.

Don’t stop, don’t take the lead, and don’t participate. But once the Han army successfully broke through the city, the due credit still belongs to his strict rule.

This is typical Guizhou cunning, eating both ends and wanting both ends. But who knows, by acquiescing, I am also participating.

The reason why Yan Zheng was able to instigate rebellion was not just because of the complaint, but because he was uneasy. As an upper-level military officer, he knew the extent of corruption in Taiping Road in Hebei and the strength of the Han army.

It is different from the enthusiasm of the people below who crazyly believe in Taiping Tao, want to establish an earthly kingdom, and open up the world of Huangtian. Yan Zheng believed everything Taipingdao said. He was already confused about his future, and Lu Xun's appearance was just in time. He could finally jump off the ship of the Yellow Turban Army before it sank.

This is why for every dog-slaughterer at the bottom who is righteous, the ones at the top are more disloyal, simply because the latter are too close to power and more desperate.

Later, with Yan Zheng's tacit approval, Lu Xun began to instigate rebellion among the military officials. All sixteen notices were used, not even one of my own.

And soon, Lu Xun found an opportunity, that is, Wei Tong, Yan Zheng's backer, was transferred to Lutai Chief Guard. Lu Xun thought of a way.

That was to burn Lutai on fire, directly burning Zhang Jiao to death. Moreover, this move can also be used to frame the Wei family. He made friends with Guangzong and knew deeply about the contradiction between the Wei family and Zhang Bao. I know that the two factions are incompatible with each other.

Regardless of whether the action is successful or not, Zhang Bao must eradicate the Wei family. By then, Guangzong's chaos will be right in front of him.

In fact, all this happened exactly as Lu Xun expected. When the Lutai fire broke out, Zhang Bao captured Wei Tong on the spot at the military meeting, and then launched a large-scale purge of Wei's party.

After the meeting, when Yan Zheng told him this with fear, Lu Xun felt more than happy? It’s so cool and transparent!

Then the whole city was in chaos, with fighting everywhere. Lu Xun listened to this and was immediately intoxicated.

Until the fat black man broke through the wall with someone.
