Chapter 650 Killing Stick 3 The atmosphere in the hall was dull and awkward, and there was silence.
This made the sound of the execution rod in the courtyard outside the hall particularly clear.
The executioner was the escort of the county king's mansion, and General Xuanwei Wuxian was imprisoned.
Although Gu Chao gritted his teeth and resisted, the killing rod used by Kong Sheng's army was a special torture instrument, and the ordinary military stick was wrapped with layers of metal wires, and the executing guards were ruthless, every time the stick fell, Gu Chao could feel the pain of drilling his heart and let out an irrepressible muffled snort.
That is to say, Gu Chao's body is strong and his endurance is much higher than that of ordinary people, even so, after this hundred kills, he was still beaten with skin and flesh, and blood collapsed, and he almost fell out on the spot.
When Gu Chao arrived, the cries of the meal became more and more high-pitched, reaching the ears of Yang Qi and the generals under his command, and the ugly faces of everyone can be imagined.
Everyone understands that although this is Gu Chao, the target is Yang Qi.
Killing the mighty stick and killing the mighty stick, it is not only the prestige of Gu Chao and these local generals that are killed The corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched, and his face turned pale.
Today's events have dealt a heavy blow to his authority.
This hit Gu Chao's body and hurt in his heart.
Yang Qi couldn't imagine that Kong Sheng would be so faceless, and he couldn't imagine that Kong Sheng's methods were so ruthless.
He had a hunch that if Gu Chao refused to accept Kong Sheng's punishment with a hundred killings, Kong Sheng might really kill him on the spot.
And if he really wants to tear his face, Kong Sheng naturally has no scruples, he is appointed by the emperor, and he has the emperor's edict, even if he is about to make trouble with the emperor, Yang Qi still can't eat and walk around.
Therefore, Yang Qi has been suppressing the monstrous anger and has not acted rashly.
As long as he doesn't move, everything has room to maneuver.
At most, it is just to sacrifice one or two of Gu Chao's henchmen.
Wu Xian ordered the two guards to drag Gu Chao, who was covered in blood and couldn't walk for a long time, Gu Chao's tragic situation made Yang Qi raise his eyebrows, and he almost couldn't control it on the spot.
And the henchmen behind him looked even more hideous, and they all projected Yang Qi's body with indignant eyes.
As long as Yang Qi gave an order, they would naturally obey.
Kong Sheng's eyes were clear and calm, looking at Yang Qi.
If Yang Qi is a little reckless, Kong Sheng will do today's matter more thoroughly.
In fact, subconsciously, Kong Sheng hoped that Yang Qi would rebound, so that he would take advantage of the situation and use all means to uproot Yang Qi's power in Jiangnan.
But Yang Qi is a person who has been in the officialdom for decades after all, and he finally made a choice after weighing the pros and cons in a flash.
Yang Qi knew that Kong Sheng's move was to force himself into a dilemma, and the purpose was to suppress his authority and divide Gu Chao's henchmen.
But Yang Qi still couldn't move, he took a deep breath, sat up straight again, and straightened his waist.
At this time, Yang Qi had to admit that Kong Sheng, a young man in Jiangning in the past, was a scoundrel who was looked down upon by many people, and his methods and his city were as wicked as his talents, and inadvertently, he had fallen into Kong Sheng's overall design and could not extricate himself.
Yang Qi didn't look out for it, and everyone under Yang Qi was really slightly disappointed.
Kong Sheng retracted his gaze, looked at Gu Chao, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and said coldly: "Gu Chao, you can be convinced" Gu Chao's voice was hoarse and weak, but it was unswerving: "The last general will not accept it, the last general will not know what crime he has committed, and there is no excuse for the crime that the county king wants to add."
"This king is ordered by His Majesty to lead the two important military and political affairs of Jiangnan, Shannan and Nan, you are just a deputy general under Yang Yuanjun, and you dare to resist the decree and disobey the order, and you have no king, based on this alone, this king can kill you on the spot to set an example."
"However, this king is an enlightened person, remembering that you have served in the army for many years without merit, and you have no intention of speaking, I will give you a chance to defend your innocence, how do you disobey the law, if what you say can convince the public, this king will not do anything for himself, spare you from death.
Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing," Kong Sheng's voice was low, and he said word by word.
Gu Chao raised his head with difficulty, his eyes were unruly and unruly, staring at Kong Sheng and sneering: "Ask the king of the county, this whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the Tang Dynasty is all owned by Your Majesty, but Your Majesty also appoints courtiers and military generals to act in charge of government and military affairs, what is the reason?"
Kong Sheng smiled lightly: "Your proposal is a little new, you continue to say, this king listens to it." ” "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, but you can't do everything yourself, not to mention that the king of the county is just like the inherent strengths of people, some people are erudite and talented, such as the king of the county, and some people are brave and good at fighting, and they are good at leading the army.
Scholars governing the army and military generals governing the country are generally the scourge of the country. ” "The last general thinks that although the king of the county is famous all over the world, he is known as the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River, but leading the army to fight is a major event of the country, not a poem and a painting to show off the wind and moon, the king of the county is in charge of the army himself, but it is just a talk on paper.
Don't say that the last general will not be convinced, even the tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people belonging to Jiangnan Province will also be dissatisfied."
"Of course, the county king is high and powerful, and he oppresses people with power, even if the last general is not convinced, he is helpless.
However, even if the king of the county kills the last general on trumped-up charges, the last general will speak out and oppose it loudly, and the last general will have the courage to write to His Majesty and participate in the king of the county for his own selfish interests and ignoring the foundation of the country."
Gu Chao's voice gradually rose, and the unyielding color in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Kong Sheng looked at Gu Chao with an indifferent smile, knowing that this person had a strong personality and a strong will, and it was probably not so easy to make him submit or submit to his authority.
What's more, this person is Yang Qi's absolute confidant, which in itself makes him stand on the opposite side of Kong Sheng, and he has a natural sense of rejection for Kong Sheng no matter what.
Kong Sheng felt a little helpless at this time.
In the past, his reputation as the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River was too loud, and his several popular poems praised the world was his identity label as a genius, so although Kong Sheng repeatedly showed a super high military value, as well as the merits of counterinsurgency in Henan Province and the recovery of Luoyang, the eastern capital, he was always subconsciously classified as a scholar.
In Chang'an, no one in the government and the opposition regarded Kong Sheng as an ordinary scribe or minister; But Datang is too big and too big, and in other places, at least in the hearts of most people, Kong Sheng is still a weak scholar.
So much so that Gu Chao also used this as a reason to refute and oppose his righteous and strict remarks in controlling the soldiers and horses of Jiangnan Province, although this reason is far-fetched, it can be regarded as tenable.
Kong Sheng smiled lightly: "Gu Chao, what you mean is nothing more than that this king is a scribe, a nerd, and he can't lead soldiers, and forcibly taking charge of the army is to bring disaster to the country and the people, right?"

Gu Chao's expression was silent, and he sneered in his heart.
Kong Sheng took a deep breath and said lightly: "Gu Chao, do you know that this king quelled the rebellion in Henan Province, went through dozens of battles, killed tens of thousands of rebels, and never suffered a single defeat. ” Gu Chao's complexion did not change at all, and he said in his heart Even if this is true, it is a bloody battle between the officers and soldiers of the army and the soldiers, and it has nothing to do with you Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng said indifferently: "In every battle, this king takes the lead in charging forward, and the Gyeonggi Shence Forbidden Army is formed by me personally.
And outside Lingwu City, this king once led 5,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 Lingwu defenders to base 100,000 Hui troops outside the border pass, but you said that this king is a soldier on paper and does not know how to run the army."
Kong Sheng's voice rose sharply, and he said indifferently: "This king is too lazy to care about what is long or short with you.
However, Gu Chao, this king can make a bet with you, you go back to recuperate first, and when you recover from your injury, this king is willing to try it with you, the art of war, martial arts, cavalry and archery, the art of arranging troops, etc., let you draw out the way, if this king is not your opponent, then, from now on, this king will never be involved in Jiangnan military affairs. ” As soon as Kong Sheng's words came out, Wu Xianwu Xie and others knew it in their hearts, and they were indifferent at all.
In Wu Xian's opinion, there are absolutely very few generals who can beat Kong Sheng in this world.
Although this Gu Chao is also a famous general in Jiangnan, both civil and military, if he competes with Kong Sheng, he will definitely be crushed by Kong Sheng with all his strength and have no power to resist.
But Yang Qi and the others were unexpectedly happy.
Kong Sheng was born with a bit of brute strength, and later learned martial arts from Sima Chengzhen, Yang Qi knew a little.
And later, Kong Sheng actually led the army to fight the rebels head-on in Henan Province, obviously also dabbling in cavalry archery, but in any case, how could it be Gu Chao's opponent After Gu Chao is a famous general, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and a spear makes him superb, in this Jiangnan army, no one is Gu Chao's opponent, known as a hundred enemies.
Kong Sheng actually wanted to test his riding and archery skills with Gu Chao, which in the hearts of Yang Qi and the Jiangnan generals under Yang Qi, Kong Sheng was either crazy or arrogant to the point of not knowing why.
"The county king's words are true" Gu Chao was stunned, a little unable to believe his ears.
Kong Sheng smiled lightly, Huo Ran got up, turned around, and only left a categorical sentence: "What is the identity of this king with a quick word, how can you be a partial general in the army without trust?"
Kong Sheng walked away, coming and going as fast as he could, Yang Qi and the others knew that they didn't have time to see them off, Kong Sheng had already strode away.
Liu Pingshan hesitated slightly, and hurriedly arched his hand to Yang Qi, and then chased after Kong Sheng's back and left.
Yang Qi sat there with a complicated face, staring at Gu Chao, who was still a little unsteady who was supported by the two generals, and said softly: "Gu Chao, you have suffered, he is the king of the county, the old man can't fight him face to face, you can understand the old man's suffering."
Gu Chao looked excited, and reluctantly clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Jun, the last general knows that the adult is involuntarily, how can he have the slightest complaint, but this king of Jiangning County is not good, he wants to meddle in the military and politics of Jiangnan, and the lord should prepare early."
However, if he is true to his word, he will definitely kill his arrogance when he recovers from his injuries, and raise his eyebrows for my generation of Jiangnan."
"He's going to test your mount and shoot in battle, and he's arrogant.
He can't be your opponent, the old man knows it.
It's just that he has a deep city and endless means, and he knows that he is invincible, and the old man is worried that he has other plans.
Yang Qi's words were slightly solemn. oshow7 t1706231537:
