Chapter 528: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain?

Zhang Cheng looked at Liu Tichun, and continued angrily: "Since you call yourself a hero, you should know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, propriety, righteousness and shame. It is disloyal to devote yourself to being a thief and bring disaster to your family and country; since you are a thief, you have already brought shame to your family. It is unfilial to want to make progress and plan for future generations; it is inhumane to drive people to fill trenches and dig cities, and make people lose their lives;

Wherever our army goes today, they are all invincible. If you and other bandits continue to resist in a corner, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg. Gu Nian, you are a martial artist, and you should think of serving your family and country. For the crime of rebellion, you will stay in front of the commander-in-chief to serve. "

Liu Tichun originally held the heart of death, a giant like him, a veteran thief who spent more than ten years licking blood with a knife head, has already seen through life and death, and never thought about being defeated and captured this time live.

It's just that it was not the right time to be captured. Now that King Chuang entered Henan, the situation is very good. All the old generals have dreamed of supporting King Chuang and conquering the world.

The same is true in Liu Tichun's heart, he is really unwilling to ask him to die now.

At this moment, he saw that Zhang Cheng wanted to surrender, but he was unmoved by his loyalty to King Chuang, and he cursed loudly: "Huh, the emperor is dark, the dog officials are in power, and hunger is everywhere, but the kings are ringing bells!" Dingshi, corrupt officials still expropriate and extort violently, this is the official forcing the people to rebel.

King Chuang of my family 'only kills corrupt officials, does not harm the people', and even more 'does not pay food'. He is actually a great savior for the people of the world. One day he will be able to enter the capital and call for a change of dynasty in the world! "

He didn't seem to be satisfied, and continued to curse: "You are only rampant for a while today. I have been around for more than ten years, and I have never seen what kind of fierce general. Even if you gain power today, sooner or later your army will be defeated."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Cheng was scolded by him, but instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Corrupt officials have existed in all dynasties, and they are not unique to my Ming Dynasty. As for Li Chuang's so-called 'only kill officials, not harm the people', his Although it does not harm the people, it drives the people to fill in the trenches and attack the city."

When he said this, he raised his finger to point to the wilderness under the high platform and the root of the city, and said: "Just like you, the corpses of hungry people are scattered all over the city of Kaifeng. Aren't these people? Are these people called by you?" Didn't the thieves who hurt the people persecute them to death!"

The more Zhang Cheng spoke, the higher the tone, and he continued: "Furthermore, what you said is 'not paying food'. Bandit Li is focused on expanding his troops, and has no business at all. How to raise it?

It's not about looting!Even if, as you said, you rob the rich and help the poor, can you guarantee that the robbed houses are all for the rich and unkind?How much of the grain you robbed is used for the people?
So dedicated to destruction and not to production, how can we say that it is to relieve the people's upside down and save the people from the fire and water! "

Zhang Cheng's sentence made Liu Tichun speechless. He stared and said loudly: "I can't say that you have a glib tongue. Hurry up and give me a good time. If you blink your eyes and frown, you are not a good man." .”

Zhang Cheng sighed, and said to him: "Why bother. This commander also thinks that you are a man, so he just wanted to save your life, follow my side, kill the enemy and serve the country, strive for fame and fame, and in the future, he will seal his wife and son, and keep you alive." Wouldn't it be nice to be famous for hundreds of generations!"

A gleam of light flashed in Liu Tichun's eyes, and he seemed to see some hope, but he still insisted: "Since my father has followed Chuang Wang, he never thought of joining the dog emperor. If you want to kill or cut, you should hurry up. You today If you let us go, we will take your dog's life on the battlefield in the future!"

Zhang Cheng also knew that Liu Tichun was a stubborn thief and would never be easily subdued by him, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "As you said, if I kill you here today, it will appear that I am afraid of you." of.

Listen up, Liu Tichun, I am not going to kill you today, not for anything else, but to cherish your talent and leave you a useful body. I hope you will think about it carefully after you go back. If you can figure it out in the future, you can come anytime. Looking for handsome. "

While Liu Tichun was full of astonishment, Zhang Cheng turned his head and told Zhang Chengfang: "Cheng Fang, give him a war horse and let him go!"

Zhang Chengfang also had a look of astonishment, he never thought that his father would let Liu Tichun go just like that, he quickly stepped forward and said: "Father, don't let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Chengfang solemnly, then turned to Liu Tichun, and said in a deep voice: "If I can catch him once, I can catch him a second time. Liu Tichun alone can't make any big waves."

"But Commander-in-Chief, if you let him go today, how will you explain to the court?"

"Hmph, I caught the man, how to deal with it, I have my own decision, but I want them to take care of it!"

"But Marshal Father, it is easier to let a tiger go than to catch a tiger, but if you let him go today, it will be very difficult to catch him again."

Zhang Cheng smiled, and he said to Zhang Chengfang: "Don't be silly, tell you to let go, just do it. Take a few people and escort him through Wei Zhice's car formation, and then give him a horse and tell him to go on his own." go."

Liu Tichun had been standing there stupidly listening to the conversation between Zhang Cheng and his son, and then he interjected with a puzzled face, "You, you really want to let me go?"

Zhang Cheng looked at Liu Tichun, and said in a calm tone: "Liu Tichun, after you go back, give Li Thief a message. He slaughtered Fu Fan in Luoyang, and since then he will never be recruited by the court. However, if Li Thief is willing to consider for others, As long as he pleads guilty and puts him to death, this commander can save the lives of all the generals in his bandit army."

When he said this, he waved his hand and said: "Go, see you on the battlefield tomorrow, if you can survive, you can come to our army to serve at any time!"

…………

Groups of old thieves in the Chuangjun held their shields and guarded in front of Chuangwang Li Zicheng. Their eyes were slightly terrified, looking at the falling rockets in front of them, as well as the iron cannons jumping and rolling. .

There was no trace of fear on Li Zicheng's face, but Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance who were standing beside him could faintly hear his breathing obviously much heavier.

However, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others had not experienced any major battles before. Even when they attacked Luoyang, they mostly participated in the planning, and rarely came to the front line in person like today.

I saw that both of them were pale, breathing more heavily, looking at the bandits on the battlefield ahead, still struggling to kill the fleeing hungry people.

But after all, there were too many hungry people, and they were frightened by the guns and rockets of the officers and soldiers. Now they are rushing back in large numbers. It's just the Chinese army next to King Chuang.

Song Xiance even lamented in his heart: The officers and soldiers are so vicious, they fired artillery and rockets first, killing our army for nothing, and then drove away the hungry people with firecrackers.
