"General! This man's name is Gongsun Zi, he is the leader of those rebellious clans when we were defending the city."
After retaking Xiapi, the first thing Taishi Ci had to do was to arrest all the clans involved in the rebellion.
If it weren't for these scoundrels, how could Xiapi have been lost? How could the soldiers of the Chu army have suffered numerous casualties? How could General Liao Hua have been killed on the spot?
Looking at Gongsun Zi who was being held down by soldiers, Taishi Ci had a sneer on his lips.
"General Taishi Ci, I am willing to surrender. I am willing to surrender."
All the clan members involved know it."
In order to survive, Gongsun Zi no longer cares about anything else.
I regret it! If I had known that Xiapi could be gained and lost again, I wouldn't have said anything so arrogantly!
It turned out that after Liu Bei captured Xiapi, Gongsun Zi suddenly became arrogant.
After all, he was the one who contributed the most, and Liu Bei was very tolerant of what he did in order to show his courtesy and virtuous corporal.
As a result, when Taishi Ci regained Xiapi, the specific situation of other clans was not known, but Gongsun Zi, the most enthusiastic one, knew everything clearly through casual inquiry.
What else is there to say? Before the street fighting in the city ended, Taishi Ci sent his own soldiers to capture him.
"Very good. If you perform well enough, the general will definitely consider what to do with you."
I originally planned to push this thief out and kill him, but suddenly I heard that this guy was planning to sell his teammates, so Tai Shici would not be polite.
This time, I, Taishi Ci, will wipe out all these thieves who are eating inside and outside.
After receiving Tai Shici's assurance, Gongsun Zi quickly told everything he knew, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Dead Taoist friends but not dead Taoists, as long as I can live, what do you have to do with me whether you live or die?
But as the large and small clans that Gongsun Zi had confessed to were captured one by one, Gongsun Zi discovered that Tai Shici's eyes were getting colder and colder when he looked at him, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"General Taishi Ci, you just promised me..."
The atmosphere was getting worse and worse, and Gongsun Zi could only muster the courage to remind Taishi Ci.
"Yes, I promised you, and I have already considered what to do with you.
If anyone comes, push them down and behead them, confiscate their homes, and exterminate their clans!"
Having said that, ignoring Gongsun Zi who began to curse loudly after repeatedly begging for mercy to no avail, Taishi Ci turned around and left this hell.
Unexpectedly, there were twelve clans in Xiapi City, and three of them participated in the rebellion that night. After Xiapi fell, the other nine clans all surrendered to Liu Bei.
After Xiang Ji, Taishi Ci became another figure who was frightened by the clans.
Xiapi City was washed with blood.
At the same time, Jia Xu, who was far away in Yanzhou, also acted as the executioner.
After conquering and plundering along the way, the army commanded by Jia Xu expanded from the 20,000 at the time of departure to more than 80,000.
Yes, that's right, Jia Xu, who doesn't know what compassion is, is the one who will truly fight to the end.
Ever since the first Nancheng was captured, Jia Xu had continuously forced the people of Yanzhou to join the army.
The obedient ones will be given food and drink, and the disobedient ones will be killed.
Under such bloody tactics, Jia Xu's army expanded rapidly.
Even facing every city that refused to surrender, Jia Xu had only one choice: to massacre the city.
The main vanguard of the massacre were these Yanzhou people.
After getting over the initial discomfort, the animal nature hidden in these Yanzhou people was aroused.
The cowardice of the past disappeared, and the surrender of the past disappeared. These people who were inspired by their animal nature burst out with incomparable cruelty and ruthlessness.
Countless compatriots fell in their hands, countless women were brutally persecuted in the streets, and countless wealthy families were slaughtered and exterminated by these mud-legged people who usually looked down upon them.
Now, the only thing Jia Xu can control them is to lead them to kill the next city to fill the gap and satisfy their never-ending animal nature.
Now, Jia Xu has led his army to the first Dacheng in Yanzhou, Rencheng!
"General Zhu, the demon's army has arrived at our city, and the letter from the demon Jia Xu has been shot into the city just now.
He demands that we surrender immediately, otherwise we will massacre the city!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhu Ling, the defender of Ren City, frowned.
Damn it, why did this evil star come to Rencheng? Shouldn't he be going to Lucheng?
Yes, according to Jia Xu's previous marching route, he should indeed appear in Lucheng at this moment.
But Jia Xu was not stupid. He was so blatantly slaughtering cities and destroying territories. How could Cao Cao's garrison in Yanzhou not react?
If you go to Lucheng now, although you will not be defeated by Cao's army, if you are delayed by Cao's army and cannot advance or retreat in Lucheng, you will be in big trouble.
Calculating time, Cao Cao should have almost received the news of the bloodbath in various places in Yanzhou by now.
If he was dragged into Lucheng at this time, Jia Xu would have faced the fate of being made dumplings by Cao Cao.
Therefore, Jia Xu temporarily changed his marching route and returned south to Rencheng.
"Inform the entire army to prepare to meet the enemy.
Don't be afraid, they are just idiots.
Moreover, Master Xun You has already sent a messenger to ask for help from the lord. As long as we persist for a few days, when the lord's army arrives, this demon Jia Xu will definitely be punished by the lord."
This is Zhu Ling's confidence in guarding Rencheng.
You know, no matter how bad the city is, it is still guarded by five thousand soldiers.
What's more, facing the demon Jia Xu who massacres the city, the people in the city will still do their best to help him. The number of soldiers is not more than 5,000, but tens of thousands of troops can be assembled overnight.
"Inform the army and prepare to attack the city. After the city is defeated, massacre it!"
Jia Xu, who was standing in the rear formation, saw all the soldiers of Rencheng lined up on the city wall, and he immediately understood that he was planning to fight to the end?
Rencheng was the first big city that Jia Xu entered Yanzhou, and it was also the big city that Jia Xu had to destroy.
Only by defeating Rencheng will Cao Cao be enraged and completely abandon Xuzhou, turning his army to pursue him.
Only in this way can the crisis in Xuzhou be completely eliminated.
As for the losses during the siege? Anyway, they were all Yanzhou people, and even if they were all dead, Jia Xu would not even frown.
You know, the 20,000 Chu troops that Jia Xu brought with him when he went on an expedition were always at the rear.
For matters like charging, it is most economical to leave it to cannon fodder.
As Jia Xu issued the order to attack the city, the Yanzhou people in the front line began to charge.
In their eyes, there is no trace of timidity, only endless desire.
Only by destroying Ren City can their thirst for killing be satisfied.
Only by destroying Rencheng can their endless animal desires be satisfied.
"Command, archers, fire arrows!"
Seeing Jia Xu's army begin to charge, Zhu Ling, who was standing at the top of the city, gave the order.
