The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 58 Blackmail
"what!"

When Zhao Chong saw Dian Wei, he screamed like an evil ghost, turned around and ran away without thinking.

He had a great future, how could he die in Dian Wei's hands.

"Where to go?"

Dian Wei's eyes were gleaming with ferocity. He held the two halberds in his hands and swung them casually, killing the enemy in front of him. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Chong. Only by killing Zhao Chong could he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Capture Zhang Miao alive. Capture Zhang Miao alive."

Among the chaotic troops, the roar of the army came, conveying Qin Shou's order.

"Capture Zhang Miao alive, capture Zhang Miao alive."

Under the night sky, there seemed to be countless armies roaring in response, spreading far and wide.

Zhang Miao had long been stunned by the situation in front of him. The Knight Cavalry Army appeared in his camp like a ghost. Before he could react, the camp was breached. Now the opponent is still trying to capture him alive.

"Lord, everything is in chaos, leave quickly."

The personal guards around him protected Zhang Miao, urging him to mount his horse and prepare to escape from this place.

Zhang Miao was already numb. At this moment, he understood what Zhu Jun was thinking. No wonder the opponent didn't leave the city. It was not because of incompetence, but because he really couldn't beat the opponent.

Leaving the city without authorization will only increase casualties.

Now I finally taste the consequences.

Now he just wants to escape as soon as possible, not stay here.

"what!"

A shrill voice rang out, echoing in the night sky. He looked back and saw Zhao Chong being chopped off his horse by Dian Wei. He thought it would be difficult to even survive.

"Let's go, go quickly."

Zhang Miao completely lost his will to resist, and Zhao Chong became the last camel that broke his back. Not only him, but also Chen Liujun was stunned by Dian Wei's blow.

Where there was still the thought to resist, they all ran away, for fear that they would lose two legs.

"Whoever captures Zhang Miao alive will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins."

Another burst of shouts came from the chaotic army, shaking the night sky.

"Damn Qin Shou, am I only worth a hundred gold?" Zhang Miao was very angry after hearing this. The reward was too small, at least a thousand gold.

There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and among the chaotic army, it seemed that countless soldiers were swarming towards Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao was powerless to change everything in front of him. He just found that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, and he became more and more frightened, not knowing what to do.

Finally, there was a roar in the ears, and then the war horse fell to the ground with a huge force, overturned by the huge force, and hit the ground hard, making him dizzy.

When he woke up, there was an ugly face in front of him, with a ferocious smile and murderous intent, which made him terrified.

"Dian, Dian Wei, you, you can't kill me." Zhang Miao shouted loudly.

He had never thought that he was so close to death, so close that it frightened him.

"Hmph, my lord asked us to capture you alive. Your life is temporarily saved."

Dian Wei grabbed his back, as if he was carrying a little chicken, and walked towards Qin Shou.

"Reckless man, reckless man."

Zhang Miao, who was born in a celebrity family, had never been so insulted before. His face turned red and he cursed loudly.

Why did Dian Wei care about this? He just wanted to capture him alive. As for the word "honour", he didn't care about it at all.

"Lord, my subordinates have captured Zhang Miao alive."

Arriving in front of Qin Shou's horse, Dian Wei casually threw Zhang Miao to the ground and said proudly.

"You reckless man, Meng Zhuo is the prefect of Chenliu. How can a famous man of today be so negligent?" Qin Shou glared at Dian Wei, then personally stepped forward to help Zhang Miao up and said, "Dian Wei is rude, please forgive me, prefect. "

"Humph, you are not a good thing." Zhang Miao pushed Qin Shou away and sneered: "Tell me! What are you going to do with me!"

Zhang Miao tidied his clothes and looked very dignified.

This man may die, but his magnanimity cannot be lost, especially in front of Qin Shou. This is the last dignity of the defeated.

"The prefect is a prefect appointed by the imperial court. Naturally, I will not kill the prefect. Meng Zhuo can rest assured."

"It's just that Luoyang is in ruins. A certain person is running Luoyang under the orders of the emperor. There are still some items missing. Please worry about it, governor."

Qin Shou smiled slightly and looked very calm. He had defeated the other party, but the other party was in a bad mood. Being scolded by the other party was nothing at all.

"Delusion." Zhang Miao spat out.

"Lord, this guy is rude, why not kill him, then capture Chenliu and destroy his entire family." Dian Wei became furious after hearing this, his big copper bell eyes filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Miao's expression changed after hearing this. The Dian Wei in front of him was a fool. He would kill someone if they disagreed with him. He didn't want to die in the hands of a fool.

"Meng Zhuo, it seems that you haven't understood the situation before you! I don't have to ask you to do it. At worst, I can just go to Chenliu to get it myself. Do you think Chenliu can still stop my cavalry? Is it? But at that time, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee the safety of Meng Zhuo’s family.”

"Besides, if Meng Zhuo dies, who will remember you in the future?"

Qin Shou said quietly.

"What do you want?" Zhang Miao looked gloomy and finally gave in.

"One million dollars, eight hundred thousand dan of grain, and one hundred thousand people."

Qin Shou said quietly: "It can be paid in two years."

Zhang Miao was waiting to refute, but after hearing Qin Shou's words, his face suddenly showed a thoughtful look.

Although there is a lot of money and food, it is not impossible to pay it off in two years.

In fact, there are not many of these things, and the wealthy families in Chenliucheng can get them together. But Zhang Miao was very reluctant to give these things to Qin Shou.

Moreover, money and food are easy to handle, but population is the most important thing.

"Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?" Zhang Miao asked after thinking for a moment.

"Although you are a famous person, I don't believe you. Dian Wei, I will serve you with pen and ink." Of course Qin Shou would not believe him, but asked Dian Wei to send him pen and ink.

"First write a letter to reminisce with the Prime Minister, and then write about your agreement. Don't worry, as long as you fulfill your promise, these things will never appear."

Qin Shou said quietly.

After hearing this, Zhang Miao's face showed shame and anger, which was simply a shame.

But he had to write. Only by writing could he save his life. Only with his life could he have other things. Without life, nothing exists.

"I wrote."

Zhang Miao finally wrote the letter and commitment as required.

"Meng Zhuo is a famous person. I believe that since you promised, you can definitely do it."

Qin Shou received the letter and said with a smile.

"Why did you let me go?" Zhang Miao suddenly asked.

He is not a fool. Whether it is money, food or population, as long as Chen Liu is defeated, the other party can get it. There is no need to wait for two years.

This can only mean that Qin Shou has other plans.

"It's not good for people to be too smart."

Qin Shou waved his hand and asked Zhang Miao to leave.
