Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 368
The first thing Wang Zheng thought of was naturally Huang Zhong.

There is no way, although the big stage in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty is full of stars, but there are not many brave "veterans".

In the eyes of Wang Zheng, a history novice, only three people can be remembered.

Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and Huang Gai.

Naturally, Huang Gai was the first one to be excluded. This man has followed Sun Ce's father to travel all over the world, not to mention the last time he lived in Yangzhou, Wang Zheng had heard of this name. At this time, Huang Gai was only a brave general, not a veteran. , it is said that in the process of Sun Ce's rapid rise to Jiangdong, he also dealt with the armor and made a lot of contributions.

Yan Yan is also unlikely.

First of all, there is still a gap between this person's bravery and the current performance of the man. Wang Zheng generally remembered that when Yan Yan and Zhang Fei were fighting generals, they were captured alive by him within less than ten rounds of fighting.

Through this "capture alive", it is enough to prove that the gap between Yan Yan and Zhang Fei in terms of personal force is not small.

Even considering the age and the chaos of the army at that time, according to Wang Zheng's inference, Yan Yan in his prime was at most similar to Ji Ling's level, right?
Moreover, Yan Yan has been the prefect of Bajun for many years under Liu Zhang's command. In addition to the exaggerated "45 passes along the way, all of them were persuaded to surrender by one of them", from this point of view, the opponent's status in the Yizhou army And the reputation is too high, and this is not achieved overnight, so even at this time, I am afraid that Yan Yan's status in Yizhou and Liu Zhang will not be too low, how could he suddenly come to Xuzhou.

As for Huang Zhong
To be honest, Wang Zheng knew more about this Five Tigers general when he really became a "veteran".

After all, it is not too early for this uncle to appear in the novel. At that time, Liu Bei was about to pacify the four counties in Jingnan, and when Guan Yu went to attack Changsha, Huang Zhong officially started his own role.

And Wang Zheng also clearly remembered Zhuge Liang's two descriptions of Guan Yu when he challenged Guan Yu: Although he is nearly sixty years old, he has undue courage.

In what year did Liu Bei pacify the four counties in Jingnan?Wang Zheng racked his brains and thought about it. One year after the Battle of Chibi, it would be 209. Huang Zhong was nearly sixty years old at that time.
Glancing at the man who was complacent after showing off his majesty, Wang Zheng touched his chin, um, his age is right.

But after thinking about it, another memory popped up in his mind, which made him feel at a loss again.

That's not right, Huang Zhong seems to be following Liu Biao, right?

Why did you come to Xuzhou?
While frowning and thinking hard, the scattered guards finally found the soldiers who were supposed to guard the list, and then brought Shichang to Wang Zheng's side.

Na Shichang was already panic-stricken, but when he saw Wang Zheng, his face turned pale, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his knees gave way. Fortunately, the guards around him were quick-sighted and stopped him immediately, and whispered a few times in his ear, as if to remind him That's too long, don't arouse the attention of the people around you, and reveal the identity of Wang Zheng.

"Do you recognize me?" Wang Zheng raised his eyes just in time to see this scene, raised his eyebrows, and asked calmly.

"Yes, yes." Shi Chang said anxiously: "When I was in Yunting, I met Mr. Zhou."

That was the army he joined when he was in Yunting. Wang Zheng was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "You can be regarded as an old soldier."

He no longer looked at that long.

His five senses were far superior to ordinary people, as soon as Na Shichang approached, Wang Zheng smelled alcohol, and he knew the reason without asking.

It's just that the new year is approaching, and these people feel that it is very safe to go to the Pi, so they neglect their duties, go to be lazy at noon, and even drink and have fun.

Wang Zheng looked around and gave up the idea of ​​sending someone up again. Not only is that man amazing in strength, but he is also quite skilled in martial arts. Even if all the third-tier soldiers in the personal guard went up, he would be invincible. Now if these second-tier soldiers are sent up , the chances of winning may not be greater, not to mention, if you lose again, it will be really embarrassing.

Taking a deep look at the strong man again, Wang Zheng was a little overjoyed to see Lie, and his hands were itchy.

Speaking of returning to Xiapi, he has been lying on the desk every day, and he has not exercised his muscles for a long time.

When he dismounted, he whispered a few words to the left and right, dozens of guards nodded at the same time, and stepped forward to open the way for him. Wang Zheng strode in, stepped forward quickly, and arrived in the field after a while.

Hearing footsteps, the man looked up, and was startled when he saw Wang Zheng.

After staring at the man for a while, Wang Zheng smiled and said, "You are very powerful."

"But beating people in the government is not right. Are you despising the king's law?"

This is what the captain of the personal army said before, but the man ignored it. According to Wang Zheng's thinking, he has not revealed his identity now, and the man will definitely ignore it, so that he can be reasonable and reasonable, and then act with courtesy first.

After winning the opponent in a single fight, and then revealing the identity after finding the venue, maybe you can reap a wave of hearts, so happy.

This is Wang Zheng's plan at this time.

But the result was beyond Wang Zheng's expectation.

The man seemed to be stunned, but he remained silent for a long while like a daze.

Just when Wang Zheng and the others got a little impatient, the man seemed to come to his senses, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

This time Wang Zheng was stunned.

"You..." Wang Zheng was about to speak when he heard the man shout respectfully, "See Zhou Mu!"

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent immediately, and Ya Que fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Zheng.

The next moment, those who reacted quickly also knelt down immediately, and in the blink of an eye, countless people followed suit and knelt down.

When Wang Zheng looked around again, he was surrounded by a cloud of human heads, all of them fell to their knees.

Hey.
Wang Zheng sighed secretly, looked up at the sky, I finally wanted to pretend to be a pen, why are others so uncooperative.

Today the sun is not glaring, the sun shines on his body, and there is a slight warmth, as if comforting him, it's okay, you are still young, there are plenty of opportunities.

At this time, the guards also drew out their long and short swords and surrounded them.

They would not disobey when Wang Zheng said before that they wanted to conceal their identities, but now that Wang Zheng's identity has been made public, they will naturally assume the responsibility of guarding immediately.

Many people even stared at the kneeling man covetously, as if they were only waiting for Wang Zheng's order to make this man's head fall to the ground.

After calming down, Wang Zheng looked at the man again: "Are you guilty of beating an official?"

"The villain is guilty."

"Are you guilty of being violent and disturbing the market?"

"The villain is guilty."

"Insulting my soldiers is like insulting me." At this point, Wang Zheng's voice turned serious, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Are you guilty?"

"Insulting the state shepherd? I have no intention of doing so!"

Hearing this, the man raised his head and argued loudly: "Wangzhou Mu's young hero, who rose from the humble beginnings and created the current foundation, can be described as prestigious!"

"I came to Xuzhou with my son all the way because I admired the prestige of tigers in the state and wanted to imitate the power of dogs and horses,"

"so what"

Thousands of miles?

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's heart was moved, the man's words were sincere and his expression was agitated, these words should not be fake.

If this is the case, it is human nature for others to come here in a hurry, but they are not even allowed to join the army, and they lose control under the excitement.

Leaving aside the man for the time being, he ordered the guards to bring up the lazy drinker, and asked: "You have been in our army for a long time, why is it so long, you should be familiar with our army's discipline and law."

Na Shichang was sweating profusely, and nodded his head after a while.

"That's very good, then I will ask you." Wang Zheng asked again: "What is the crime of neglecting duty and leaving the post without authorization?"

The soldier's lips trembled for a long time, Fang trembled and said: "It should be cut."

Wang Zheng asked again, "Who is your superior?"

This is to be jointly held accountable. This soldier was both afraid and guilty. He trembled and almost went limp. Bosun Bei, Captain Gong Fan."

Wang Zheng turned his eyes to the left and right: "Order, Sun Bei's command is not strict, and he can't escape his responsibility. The military stick is thirty, and he is reduced to very long. Gong Fan is in the top position, and he loses the post of discipline and education. The military stick is fifteen, and he is fined for three months. As a warning. Follow you."

"Here!" The guards responded awe-inspiringly.

The superiors who were implicated were so severely blamed. Needless to say, the fate of this soldier, Wang Zheng stared at it for a while, then suddenly sighed:

"You and other old soldiers are like brothers and sisters of the general. If you talk about your true heart, you really want to forgive you, but what can you do?"

In Xiapi, the hearts of the people have never been fully attached, and it is necessary to spread favors and stand up all the time. Thinking of this festival, Wang Zheng hardened his heart and ordered to beheaded on the spot.

One word decides life and death, and everyone in the audience trembles.

"Bring those two clerks here."

"Meet the state shepherd."

When facing the two of them, Wang Zheng instantly became amiable: "You are not bad, you are not bad!"

"Being forced by others, I still refuse to bow my head. It is rare for me to be loyal to my duty. I am a good official in Xuzhou."

"Order: Reward fine wine, bestow money, promote government offices, promote officials to a higher level, and spread the word to the whole prefecture as praise."

The phrase fixes people's honor and wealth, and makes everyone around them enthused.

Those who neglect their duties will be killed, and those who are loyal will be rewarded. How will Wang Zheng deal with the perpetrator?

Thousands of gazes gathered in the arena, and everyone vaguely guessed the answer at this moment.

Seeing Wang Zheng's face sinking like water, and turning to the man with inexplicable eyes, the captain of the personal guard hesitated for a moment, thinking that the general was planning to kill, so he felt dissuaded.

In the opinion of the captain of the personal guard, this man humiliated him in public, if he followed his heart, he would actually wish to kill him quickly.

But for the man's ability, the captain of the personal guard was convinced, and even thought: "This man is brave, even far above the general. If he can serve the general, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?"

Therefore, without waiting for Wang Zheng to open his mouth, he took the initiative to say: "General, since this man is known to have committed a crime, I ask the general to recite his loyalty and bravery, and give him a lighter sentence."

nice!
Wang Zheng glanced at the captain of the personal guard, and secretly praised him in his heart, but his face was full of anger: "Sentenced lightly? How can such a bold and lawless person be punished lightly?"

"Loyalty and bravery? I have [-] tigers and [-] people in Xuzhou. Who is not loyal and brave? But some brute force, how dare you say that you are brave?"

"Pull it down, cut it off!" As he spoke, he immediately issued an order through the system. The captain of the bodyguard is sincere, but lacks some wit. It's screwed up.

Sure enough, after receiving the message, the captain of the personal guard was determined, and immediately persuaded again: "General, calm down!"

"Although this man is arrogant, he has the heart of serving others. The villain sees that he is very skilled in martial arts, so it is a pity to lose his life! I beg the general to forgive him and spare his life!"

Wang Zheng said nothing.

At this time, the other guards who received the message also knelt down on the ground at the same time: "I beg the general to be lenient and spare his life!"

The man saw that the veterans who neglected their duties were all beheaded in the street, and he was already prepared in his heart. Although his death was imminent, he showed no fear, his face was calm, and there was only regret and loss in his eyes.

But when he saw the former defeated generals pleading for him one after another, the man was startled at first, but then his face turned red, feeling quite ashamed.

Wang Zheng, who was watching with cold eyes, nodded secretly when he saw this.

The two clerks were just storytellers before, but now that they have been promoted exceptionally, their grievances have long since disappeared.Seeing everyone kneeling down to beg for mercy, they didn't want to be a villain alone, they seemed narrow-minded, and they had just won the king's award, so they were a little bolder, and they also persuaded: "I think he is straightforward and cute. If you know your mistakes, please correct them. Please correct me." Let Zhou Muwang show mercy and spare his life!"

There were more and more people begging for mercy, most of them had a herd mentality, and the people in Xiapi already admired and recognized the man, so they took the courage to beg for mercy after seeing this.

There were only a few hundred at the beginning, and then everyone called for it, one after another, and the momentum was quite huge.

almost.

Feeling that the fire is coming, Wang Zheng looked at the man and said: "You insult my soldiers, and my soldiers repay grievances with virtue, mess up my people, and my people return magnanimity, what else can you say?"

"I am not afraid of death! But I am ashamed to die under the military law!"

Hearing this, the man raised his head and said, "I have practiced martial arts diligently since I was a child, and I have practiced martial arts all my life. Up to now, I have been busy for half my life and have not made any achievements. It is only because I have not met the enlightened master! There is no place to use my martial arts!"

"You can't eat five tripods in life, but you have to cook with five tripods in death. A man deserves to die. I only hope that Zhou Mu will give me a chance!"

Hearing this, all those who heard it looked sideways, and some even praised loudly: "Good man!"

The words of Zhu Fuyan are deeply in line with the mainstream values ​​of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the previous performance of Hanzi, it proves that he is not a person with empty words, but a person with ability and ambition. In the eyes of the world, Is a hero.

The crowd became more and more excited, and countless people shouted in unison: "I beg Zhou Mu to be merciful, spare his life, and let him take the blame and make meritorious service."

"What a worthy death!" Wang Zheng was also moved when he heard the words, and thought for a while, only to hear a clang, but the divine sword jumped out of its sheath.

"Life can be spared, but crime is unforgivable."

When he said this, Wang Zheng raised his sword and slashed back, but he saw the dazzling blue light whistling and flashing, and amidst the exclamation of everyone, he saw that he had already cut off his hair without the crown.

Looking at the man again, Wang Zheng paused every word and said: "The crime you committed should be beheaded according to the law. The reason is that it was only because of impulsiveness, and there are all people pleading for you. Now cut off my hair and replace you as the head."

Looking around the audience again: "Anyone who violates my laws and regulations, no matter how big or small the official rank, whatever the reason, will not be exonerated."

Hearing these words, everyone in the common people was terrified, the people in Xiapi were not blind, compared to the previous armies whether it was Tao Qian or Liu Bei, in terms of military discipline alone, the Heavenly Army was already extremely strict.

But everyone didn't expect that it was so strict that even the commander of the three armies like Wang Zheng couldn't pardon the crimes of a small citizen, and even made the move of cutting off the head.

This makes everyone horrified and admirable.

The man was even more surprised, ashamed, and moved at the same time. His mood was agitated, and he shouted directly: "Thank you, Zhou Mu, for your kindness."

"My life, Huang Zhong, belongs to the state shepherd from now on!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zheng, who was enjoying the reverence and admiration of thousands of people, immediately turned his head to look.

"What did you just say?" The young Zhou Mu couldn't hold back his arrogance at all, his eyes were bigger than a copper bell:

"Your name is Huang Zhong?"
