Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 286

Du Po walked on his knees, hooked his head, and looked at the paper all over the floor. Beads of soybean sweat kept oozing from his forehead, and his nostrils fluttered rapidly.

"No, it's impossible!" He suddenly raised his head with a ferocious face: "I followed the King of Chu to raise troops because the court was immoral and the officials were rampant! I took brothers under my tent and suffered all the sufferings of those rich and corrupt officials. , How could they do such a wicked thing?"

Sheets of papers, stained with blood and tears, killing the whole family for a piece of silver and a few strings of copper coins is only common among them. Rape and robbery are not uncommon, and brutal killings are just for fun... The evil of human nature is fully revealed.

Cao Cao said calmly, "I just want to ask you, if these things are true, how should you deal with your people and you!"

"If it's true..." Du Po's eyes were confused for a moment, and then sparks flashed and turned into Liaoyuan's fury: "What's the point of asking! You should be killed, beheaded, and cut!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao patted the table and stood up: "Guan Zhong, you take General Du to verify the authenticity one by one!"

"Decree!" Xu Guanzhong clasped his fists, grabbed Du Po's arm and walked away. Outside the hall, there were people kneeling all over the ground...

Several hours later, Du Po was dragged back to the hall like a dead dog by several people.

Cao Cao's eyes swept away. This fierce general known as "Sai Zhang Fei" now has a black face that seems to have been beaten by frost.His face was full of bewilderment, and he murmured: "Why is this? Why is this?"

Cao Cao nodded secretly, went down to the hall and drew his sword, and cut the rope amidst the exclamation of everyone.

Du Po was stunned, kneading his paralyzed arms, and looked at Cao Cao in amazement.

"Fight him with a knife! Bring those murderous bandit soldiers up!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he went out with his head held high, walked outside the government office, stood on the high steps, and clasped his fists at the people in Jingnan: "My servant, Wu Zhi, led the army here to put down the rebellion, and learned that the bandits have committed countless evil deeds." , I asked the thief general, how should he be judged? The thief general said, he should be killed, he should be beheaded, and he should be cut!"

Soldiers and horses from both sides rushed to drive away the people and cleared a large area in front of the gate. Geng Gong led more than a hundred bandit soldiers to the front of the Yamen. Thieves and bandits, their evil deeds are obvious, and there are suffering masters to point out that their crimes are undeniable."

He turned his head and said, "Du Po, didn't you say you should kill them? The thief you brought out, you come to kill."

Xu Guanzhong pulled Du Po out, put the knife in his hand, Du Po tightly tightened the handle of the knife, his eyes swept over the faces of Jingnan people who were angrily hated, his face gradually became murderous, he nodded, jumped down the steps, and The subordinates kneeling on the ground stared fiercely, and suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "You wait one by one, most of you come from a hard background, and you know what it's like to be oppressed by officials and bandits. Hand, you can do such evil things!"

After saying that, the light of the knife rolled up the turbulent waves, and the heads fell to the ground one by one. The rest were terrified, and at the same time cried loudly: "Du Du, spare your life, Du Du, spare your life."

There were also people who screamed and cried: "The villain only says that he will die in battle sooner or later, but he has never been used in this life..."

Du Po cut off half of his body with a knife, and cursed angrily: "I'll help you! You bastard."

In front of the government office, Du Po beheaded more than a hundred people in one go, blood flowed all over the place, even the angry Jingnan people remained silent for a while.

"Bring someone again." Cao Cao's voice sounded indifferently.

Geng Gong led more than a hundred rebels to come, these rebels were shocked when they saw the miserable scene, the officers and soldiers cursed and beat them, and then forced them to kneel down.

Du Po changed his knife, his complexion was iron, and he didn't speak, he just chopped up his heads, and as the heads fell to the ground, the bandit soldiers suddenly burst into tears, and some of the bandit soldiers were probably Du The soldiers, with deep friendship, cried and begged one by one: "Commander, you promised my mother that you will take care of me, how can you cut off my head?" "Commander, I don't want to die, please spare my life." "Captain, I, I am your fellow villager!"

As if Du Po hadn't heard of it, the saber came out like lightning, and every stab killed his life.

Gradually, those crying and begging turned into cursing, scolding him for being heartless, scolding him for killing his brothers to survive, scolding him for being stupid, pretending to be a good person even though he is a bandit.

Cao Cao heard these curses in his ears, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth-Du Po, although he was ineffective in governing the army, he did not join forces.

Lu Junyi came up and said in a low voice: "Brother, this guy is not a bad guy, his martial arts, it would be a pity to kill him."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinion."

After a while, all the people were killed again.

Cao Cao said: "Bring someone again."

...Twilight falls, corpses pile up on the street like mountains, blood runs down the shins.

Geng Gong's face was pale, and he reported: "General, there are 37 people who owe blood debts, and they have all been killed today."

Cao Cao said: "Take it to the mass grave and bury it."

Geng Gong nodded, and escorted the prisoner to clean up the corpse.

The common people kowtowed in unison and retreated, each with a look of horror on their faces.

Du Po raised his head, looked at Cao Cao, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I have killed all the thieves who harmed the people, now I will pay for this life, and don't look for me for other things."

After finishing speaking, he returned the knife and slashed towards his throat.

Xu Guanzhong had been on guard for a long time, the thin iron rod in his sleeve slipped out, and with a "dang", the single knife was released from his hand.

Du Po was stunned, and Cao Cao said: "There are more than two thousand petitions, and no one has sued you, Du Po. Although you have committed a crime that cannot be investigated, you will not die. You should surrender. Since you have the heart to save the world and the people, the world is suffering. There are so many people here, with your abilities, you can always do something for these poor people."

Du Po raised his head and sneered: "There is a saying that a bandit's faults are like a comb, and an official's faults are like a grate. If you become an officer and a soldier, you won't harm the people?"

Cao Cao took a few steps closer and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to be an officer, you can go to Liangshanpo. You must trust the name of Chao Gai, the king of Tota!"

"Chao Tianwang!" Du Po was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that this person called himself Wu Zhi: "You know Liang Shan, you are...'Wu Mengde'?"

Cao Cao nodded: "I respect you for being upright, so I don't want to hide it. I came to join the army. It's just an expedient measure. I want to secretly take Shandong and Hebei as my foundation, so as to resist Jinliao."

"You have to deal with foreigners!" Du Po showed surprise and respect, thought for a moment, bowed down and said: "If so, my younger brother is willing to work hard."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "The strong man is today's tiger man, and now he is willing to help, so why not worry about it!"

A few more days later, all the soldiers and horses sent back returned, and all the thirteen counties in Jingnan Prefecture were pacified.

Cao Cao packed up his army and horses, went up the Han River, and returned to Xiangyang within a few days. Sun An and Liu Yuan said that they had surrendered the "Dragon King of Han River" and heard that people were adoring them. Hu Xian and two of them all returned to the nine counties of Nanfeng.

At this point, the rebellion in the three states was pacified, and Cao Cao counted his men and horses, together with the bandit soldiers who had eliminated the waste and kept the best, and selected the best from the best.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way, and walked to the foot of Funiu Mountain. Just after setting up the camp, suddenly a soldier came to report that there was a white-clothed scholar at the camp gate, who came to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked Jinjun to take a look at the tent, and he felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, this person is Li Huai, the defender of Jingnan. He met him from a distance when he led the army to attack Xiangyang.

Cao Cao saw that his hands were empty and he was not carrying a weapon. He wondered, "Mr. Xiangyang is missing, and he came to see you suddenly today. He must teach me!"

Branch teaching: There are many heads in front of the government office, and blood is pouring on the street.In the past, he suffered all the hardships of the world, but now he is aggressive.
