Chapter 850 The banquet farce
"Lord, General Gao Shun is looking for a meeting outside."
Yang Tao was asking Xi Zhicai when a servant suddenly walked in outside the tent.
"Gaoshun is back? Let him come in."
"promise!"
Gao Shun, wearing war armor, walked up to the steps and saluted respectfully before reporting to Yang Tao: "The last general has completed the lord's public service and captured more than 300 old and small people from the Sun clan of Wu County, but Sun Quan, Sun Huan and Sun Shangxiang escaped, and several other Sun clan members died during the arrest."
"Oh, it's actually dead?" Yang Tao shook his head with a little regret. At first, when he ordered Gao Shun to take the camp to arrest Sun Jian's tribe, he wanted to use the Sun clan as a threat to force Sun Jian, Sun Ce and others to commit crimes, but he did not expect that someone would die in the process.
With the temperament of people like Sun Jian and Sun Ce, it would be a bit difficult to conquer them if their own tribe members died at his hands.
Yang Tao's goal is to the entire Yangzhou, and the Sun family is naturally his biggest opponent. Originally, he could have taken it slowly and slowly made Sun family surrender, but as soon as the system announcement came out, Sun's strength increased greatly, and it would be almost impossible to conquer according to the previous method.
There was no way to imagine that he decided to take action first.
Sun Jian led his troops to Luoyang, and the only Sun Ce was the Sun clan. Because Sun Jian was the prefect of Changsha, Jingnan, and his ancestral land was in Wujun, Yangzhou, it was impossible for him to bring the Sun clan to Luoyang north in a short period of time, so he gave Yang Tao the opportunity.
According to the historical records of the Sun family during the Three Kingdoms period, there were nearly a hundred people and there were many famous scholars and generals. If they were given time, Yang Tao would lead troops to Luoyang again, and he was afraid that at least one county in Yangzhou would fall into the hands of Sun family. Once the Sun family's general situation was formed, it would be at least a hundred times more difficult to wipe him out than attack Yuzhang.
Unfortunately, the arrest of the Sun clan was still dead. As for the escaped people, it is not worth worrying.
"I will be unfavorable to do things, and I hope the lord will punish you!" Gao Shunfu said in his head and confessed to Yang Tao.
Yang Tao was thinking about the Sun family, but before he could wake up from Gao Shun's reaction, Zhou Tai and others sat down and seemed to hesitate when they saw him, their hearts became alive. Could it be that Gao Shun was going to be punished by the lord?
"Oh." Yang Tao responded, and found that everyone below looked like they were watching the show. He shook his head helplessly and ordered Gao Shun, "It's okay, Sun's family is also dispensable. It's best to be able to subdue it. If it can't be subdued, it's just that it's dead. The more than 300 Sun's family members are useless. Gao Shun, you can kill them all."
Yang Tao waved his hand and determined the lives of all people from all over the Sun clan.
"No!" Gao Shun responded, and was about to go outside the tent to execute an order, beheading more than 300 Sun's people.
Zhang Xiu, the governor of Yuzhang County, suddenly stepped out at this time and advised Yang Tao: "My lord, please wait. The act of killing the entire Sun clan is too cruel! It should be noted that the more than 300 Sun clan members include not only Sun Bofu's wife Wu, but also Sun Luyu, and Sun Luban's female relatives. The lord was too unkind! Moreover, the Sun clan has not yet had a feud with us, and it should not be that the lord for forcing the Sun clan members to force the Sun clan members. If you do another act of extermination, you will be ridiculed by the people of the world. The wise men who have not become officials will feel disgusted and will not come to surrender... In short, there are countless disadvantages to killing the entire Sun clan. I hope the lord will think twice!"
Zhang Xiu talked a lot of bad things about killing the entire Sun clan, but Yang Tao was in a bad mood. It was the first time since he woke up that someone dared to openly stand up against what he decided, and it was at the celebration banquet where everyone was there!
Notice the anger that appeared on Yang Tao's face, Xi Zhicai was secretly smirking Zhang Xiu's stupidity.
What will happen to the Sun clan? He is a cruel person by nature and will not take it seriously. He only takes his lord's lead, but Zhang Xiu committed a big taboo.
In history, Xi Zhicai was one of the people who personally presided over the incident of Cao Cao's military jerky meat. Even human flesh dared to lie that military rations were supplied to the army for consumption. More than 300 innocent people were beheaded, so Xi Zhicai naturally would not show any concern.
It was also because of Xi Zhicai's ferocity and loyalty that Yang Tao handed over the commandership of most of the troops in Yuzhang County to him. The more fierce the person is, the more he can control the situation in the troubled times.
Compared with Xi Zhicai, Zhang Xiu is different. Some are still kind-hearted. Perhaps because he became a county magistrate, he wanted to correct Yang Tao's powerful behavior in his power.
Hua Xin, who had just joined, was watching the fun and was curious about what Yang Tao would do.
After Zhang Jiu was listed as Sun's plea, everyone was watching the wall, looking at the nose and the heart, as if they were intentional and did not want to be implicated by Zhang Jiu. Even Han Heng and others who formed a group with Zhang Jiu remained silent.
"What Zhang Jiu is saying, why can't I understand? What's wrong with these people? They sit upright, like wood?" Mo Xue, who is only in her early teens, is the youngest and does not know the situation in the field, quietly asked Shen Ruomeng and others.
Shen Ruomeng was so amused that she couldn't explain, but she couldn't explain it. Yang Hanrong, who was not much bigger than Mo Xue, stretched out her little hand and pointed Mo Xue's little head, and taught her a lesson in an adult tone: "Don't worry about them, we can eat ours."
...
Seeing that no one of his colleagues supported him, Zhang Xiu's passion instantly cooled down halfway, his whole heart was frozen and his face was pale. Only then did he realize that he was reckless this time!
The tent was silent. The originally noisy and lively celebration banquet was a mess because of this incident. Even thousands of banquets in the schoolyard outside the tent were frozen. Only a gust of cool breeze blew across the military tent, and the "swinging" sound from the flag came into his ears, making everyone feel the cold wind thrust and couldn't help but shivering.
When a man gets angry, blood splatters five steps. As the lord of Yuzhang County, Yang Tao, how many people will die if he is angry?
Seeing everyone's performance, Yang Tao gently put down the wine cup and was about to speak when a man suddenly stepped out of the front row of civil officials to support Zhang Xiu.
"Zi Yang recognized the words of the Chief Zhang County, and Yu Zhang is now unstable. At this time, the Sun family in Wu County is a large clan of Jiangdong. If the lord rashly kills all the clans, this is too bad for the lord to behead the entire Sun family, is it better not to kill the entire Sun family?"
The person who supported Zhang Jiu was Liu Ye who stayed in Jianghe County for a long time but was only known by everyone at the banquet. However, his reason for supporting Zhang Jiu was ridiculous.
"I actually came up with a reason that my reputation was too bad. What is Liu Ziyang doing? Wouldn't he not know the character of his lord?"
Compared with those who most people struggled to hold back and didn't dare to laugh out loud, they laughed at Liu Ye for being confused and dared to interfere in Zhang Xiu's affairs. As the wise planner, Hua Xin and Xi Zhicai and others didn't think so.
Hua Xin thought in her heart, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked out of the seat, knelt down and pleaded with Yang Tao, "Ziyu agreed with the county magistrate and what Mr. Ziyang said."
Then Xi Zhicai also realized and left the list.
This made everyone stare at the ox, completely unsure of the situation in the field, why did the four accurate planners in the army kneel down?
