Chapter 168 The most notorious warlord, because of his madness
When Qin Zongheng paid a visit to his brother, Qin Zongquan was still having a meal in the office.
However, seeing that there were several plates of jerky of different raw and mature levels on the table in front of Qin Zongquan, as he cut the meat sharp knife in his hand, he cut open one of the half-natural jerky made of unknown ingredients. The blood-filled piece of meat was picked up by Qin Zongquan with the tip of the knife and put it in his mouth to chew it. A bright red blood stain was left from the corner of his mouth... Qin Zongheng saw it and suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Because Qin Zongheng immediately recalled that one day when he was negotiating with his brother, Qin Zongquan once looked favored by the beautiful concubine beside him, and said softly: "You look... very tender..."
Since that day, Qin Zongheng has never seen that concubine again, and the next day Qin Zongquan's meal was like jerky today.
If other ingredients are sufficient, who would be addicted to human flesh? An Renyi, who has now turned to Li Tianqu's loyalty, also served in his Qin Zongheng army. Since the Caizhou army turned against the court and caused chaos in the territory, although the government has always been in short supply due to lack of governance and lack of population, it has to slaughter the people as military rations. However, with Qin Zongheng's identity, naturally, there is no need to have to strip and slaughter the same kind of people like ordinary soldiers, until many people are crazy...
However, Qin Zongheng still clearly remembered that Qin Zongquan once said earnestly to him: Whether it was the Chongmo Village, Huang Chao, or the Caizhou Army who plundered human flesh for food, no matter how people hate and despise us, we know that Qin Zongquan's name has changed. This is because cannibalism can make people afraid of you. My children under my command will not only fill their stomachs and have the strength to fight, but also make those who dare to be enemies with me be frightened before the battle... Since such a chaotic world is the prey of the weak, no matter whether it is good or bad, if we fail to do anything, what will happen to the Tang court will be a serious crime to kill the nine clans...
Since we are unwilling to be hypocritical people who seek fame and reputation, we have already been carrying the blame for the world's disgust. It is better to do things as long as others are afraid... So not only do the generals and soldiers who obey my orders want to eat people, but they have to shock them so that they dare not have any unfair intentions... Of course, I also want to eat...
Qin Zongheng was thinking, and he was a little confused, but he soon felt that he seemed to be staring at the cold eyes of the poisonous snake, and he was shivering immediately. He noticed that Qin Zongquan stared at him with faint eyes, and Qin Zongheng suddenly felt excited all over his body, and immediately looked at his nose, his head lowered and his eyebrows were lowered to wait for Qin Zongquan to issue his order.
"...Zongheng, you and I are brothers, and you don't have to be so restrained. I have announced that you have come, and I must have heard some words. Sun Ru will arrive in Caiyang within a few days. At that time, you two will join forces to open up a foundation for me. Although Sun Ru is brave and good at fighting, he will attack Luoyang this time, which offsets the guilt of being carelessly defeated by Li Tianqu, the Yicheng Army in the previous round...
But this time, I don’t have to invade the prefecture with the Henan Daodi, and I can probably still control all the troops. When I raise troops into the Huai River, I am afraid that someone will not obey the orders on the grounds that the generals are not accepted by the emperor. After all, you are my blood-related brothers, and then you will be the chief and Sun Ru will be the deputy, so that I can feel at ease..."
After Qin Zongquan suddenly spoke, his actions of cutting off the jerky with a knife in his hand were still slow. In fact, although Qin Zongquan, who started his own business and took the lead in developing a foundation for a territory, turned against Huang Chao and opposed the Tang court. Until he inherited the pseudo-Qi reign, Qin Zongquan, who claimed to be the emperor of the Great Qi, had been pampering in the deep palace.
Therefore, Qin Zongquan at this time was no more cruel and fierce than when he was a tooth general in Xuzhou, and it also shocked Sun Ru, Liu Jianfeng and other fierce and vicious people to join in. Qin Zongheng saw that his brother who grew up together pretended to be gentle and pretended to pay attention to maintenance. He felt that he felt a little strange, but he felt a little bit sick.
Without thinking too much, Qin Zongheng heard Qin Zongquan say again: "I have long wanted to take the land of Jianghuai, but apart from the influence of Shi Pu, the governor of the army, was not worth worrying about. The only one who was originally afraid of was the only one who was the fallen eagle attendant Gao Pian. After all, Huang Chao was almost destroyed in his hands, and Gao Pian was in charge of the Huainan Jiedushi and was in charge of Yangzhou with more than 100,000 troops. Since he had a bad relationship with the Tang court, he only wanted to defend himself. I was not inconvenient to provoke him...
But now I heard that Gao Pian was old and stupid, and believed in the art of immortals. He favored Lu Yongzhi. Zhang Shouyi and other alms not only acted on their own, but also slandered the generals at all times. Now the vassal states are also dissatisfied with the upper and lower levels. Therefore, it is time for you and Sun Ru to order the troops of Qi and Sun to invade Jianghuai. In this way, our Great Qi occupies Henan Road, encroaches on western Henan, and annex Jingxiang. If we can conquer Huaiyou and Huaiyou, we can not only advance Qi and Lu, Jiangdong, and shock Heshuo. At that time, the troops will be in Guanzhong... Chang'an will also fall into the hands of my Great Qi! Huang Chao was able to intimidate the vassal states back then, so why can't I? But in my opinion, Huang Chao is still not cruel enough, and he is forced to surrender to the situation and surrender to the followers. Those who should be killed have not been eliminated yet..."
Qin Zongquan was talking, and there seemed to be a frenzy flame in his eyes. However, Qin Zongheng hesitated for a moment and still reported carefully: "I am obeying Your Majesty's order! But... north of our Caizhou, there are several vassal soldiers including Zhu Wen, Zhu Xuan, Li Tianqu, Zhuge Shuang and other vassal soldiers who joined forces to occupy the entire Henan Road north and were blocked. The enemy troops were eyeing them covetously. I thought that they must concentrate their forces to eliminate the disasters in front of them first. If they were divided into troops and sent to the Jianghuai area at this time..."
"You don't need to worry about this. Just plan to conquer the war between Sun Ru and Jianghuai provinces."
Qin Zongquan suddenly interrupted Qin Zongheng. He put a piece of jerky dripping with blood and chewed it in his mouth. After a moment, he said: "How come I don't know that Zhu Wen, Li Tianqu and others are close to our Daqi, but it's hindered. We must get rid of it as soon as possible? However, Xuanwu, Yicheng, Tianping and other vassal states rescued each other, but they could not resist the fierce attacks of our army, and it was difficult to kill them all for a while. The surrounding prefectures have already passed by, and our army has shortage of food and fodder. What's the same for this?
With heavy troops in hand, this is my... Our brothers have a foothold in this world. They feed on human flesh, but if they eat all the people, how can they teach their soldiers to fight to the death? For the sake of the present, they can only create a country as soon as possible. Of course, the rats who dare to obstruct my hegemony and other rats who dare to obstruct my hegemony cannot let go. You and Sun Ru divide the troops to seize the Jianghuai land. As for Xuanwu, Yicheng and other vassal states in the north, I will be led by the emperor to personally fight. In this way, the children in our Great Qi army cannot be idle, and they will have a chance to rob and make huge profits."
Seeing that Qin Zongheng seemed to be hesitating, Qin Zongquan suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, and his tone also became a little more resentful and hostile: "What? Do you think I have not been in charge of troops for a long time, so I can't kill Zhu Wen and other annoying disasters in one fell swoop?"
Qin Zongheng's expression changed immediately when he heard this. Even if he followed Qin Zongquan to join the army, from taking the opportunity to invade Caizhou, pretending to surrender to Yang Fuguang to attack Huang Chao, and then rebelling against the Tang court, he had plundered everywhere, and his hands were stained with countless innocent and kind blood. However, Qin Zongquan's words were only light at the moment, and he could still shock his brother to immediately fall on the ground and express his voice loudly: "It is all because of Your Majesty's reputation that I have such a good fortune today. Even if I have the courage to question Your Majesty, how dare I question Your Majesty? Now that I am obedient to the imperial order, I must do my best to do my best. If I violate Your Majesty's heavy trust, I will come to see you!"
"...It's done, it's my brother, why should you be so careful? Although you have done your best over the years, although your methods are already cruel enough, your courage and courage are still a little less... After all, Sun Ru followed our brothers and captured this country with blood. Now that the soldiers are sent to Jianghuai, you are the head coach, so don't show your timidity in front of him."
After Qin Zongquan gave a few instructions, he thought of the mortal enemies in the north who were still eliminating... Gradually, he no longer looked pretentious and gentle, and his face showed a sickly pleasure and became increasingly ferocious, and he seemed to be crazy like a devil:
