    "Beheaded!"

    " Two words are decisive, and there are tens of thousands of rebels. Tang Zihe's authority cannot be doubted and there is no room for resistance.

    Ge Laowu's eyes flashed fiercely, and his sword was unsheathed.

    "Slow, wait!" The evil general panicked. He realized that Marshal Tang was telling the truth and was not bluffing. She was just an ordinary girl. Moreover, the struggle just now had not yet ended, so he never thought that she would  It was dealt with so harshly.

    "General Tang Dynasty, I have confessed my crime and begged the general to spare my life. Tomorrow the imperial army will attack the city. I will fight to the death and cut off the heads of several thousand households to atone for my sin" The general looked pale and knelt down to beg for mercy.

    Tang Zihe was unmoved at all and glanced at Ge Laowu with an extremely harsh look.

    Ge Laowu sighed secretly, tightened his grip on the knife, and a snow-white sword light passed by. The general begging for mercy didn't even seem to feel the pain. His huge head rose into the sky, and a fountain of blood filled the yard.

    There was silence in the yard.

    Seeing the bloody scene, the humiliated woman trembled all over, rolled her eyes and fainted. The woman's parents hurriedly supported her and looked at Tang Zihe with horror on their faces.

    Tang Zihe pursed his lips, clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "It was my lax management of the army that led to such scum among my men. You two old men, I apologize to you."

    "No, I don't dare. The general will defeat the old man" The old man shook his head and knelt down to her, but was supported by Tang Zihe.

    "Old man, we risk our lives and die and resolutely raise the flag of justice to oppose the imperial court. For what purpose? I only hope that after the world changes, people like you can live a good life and no longer have to bear heavy taxes and no longer have no support for the elderly.  We are young and helpless, and we are no longer bullied and oppressed by the government. If our rebel army oppresses the people in the fish and meat village like the imperial government, what is the difference between us and the imperial court? What is the meaning of raising the flag of rebellion?"

    Tang Zihe sighed, his expression a little obscure: "Old man, our rebel army has just gathered. It is inevitable that the army will be mixed with good and bad, and some scum will be in it. It is my responsibility as a marshal to insult your daughter today. I hope you will forgive me. I will run the army in the future."  We will be stricter and we will never allow such a thing to happen again. Please wait and see whether we can do it."

    The old man burst into tears with gratitude, and the fear disappeared from his eyes. A general with tens of thousands of troops could actually lower his stature and explain so much to a commoner like him. What kind of grace and magnanimity it showed. At this time, the resentment in the old man's heart had already disappeared.  The smoke disappeared, and Feng Shuang's old face was instantly filled with endless gratitude.

    "The Generalissimo condescended, and the old man was flattered" The old man hesitated for a moment, and a look of resoluteness appeared on his face: "Generalissimo, the old man has lived a stupid life for fifty years and has been oppressed countless times by the government. Today is the first time in his life that someone has treated the old man like this.  The people take it for granted that most of the old man's body is buried in the loess. He has nothing to ask for in this life. You are risking your life for the people. Why should I, old man, cherish this life? These old men live in Bazhou City. I can't guarantee anything else, but  Nine out of ten people in the city know the handsome old man. The Generalissimo is having a hard time defending the city, so the old man will call on the neighbors for the Generalissimo and do his best for the rebels"

    Tang Zihe was slightly moved. She didn't expect that killing an evil general would bring such blessings. The people's support was indeed usable and could not be bullied.

    "Thank you, old man" Tang Zihe actually bowed and saluted the old man. Seeing this, the guards such as Ge Laowu also hurriedly bowed and saluted together.

    The old man hurriedly helped him, but he didn't even dare to answer.

    The yard was quickly cleaned, and the beheaded general's body was quickly carried away by the guards. A thick layer of plant ash was sprinkled on the blood-stained ground, and then shoveled away. Everything in the yard remained as before, as if there was nothing.  Happened generally.

    After ordering the guards to leave a hundred taels of silver to calm the old man's family, Tang Zihe turned around and walked out.

    "Generalissimo" the old man called her from behind.

    Tang Zihe turned around and saw the old man looking at her with some excitement.

    "General Marshal, the imperial army is fierce. You must hold on. If you don't abandon the people, the world will not abandon you."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Walking out of the yard, the night was still cold, but Tang Zihe's heart was filled with warmth.

    For the first time, she realized that she had done something right.

    She was raised by the White Lotus Sect as a Hongyang girl since she was a child. From a young age, she has been doing things like pretending to be gods and ghosts to fool her neighbors. The so-called birthless mother, the so-called vacuum hometown, those irrelevant beliefs are so illusory that even she finds it ridiculous, and she doesn¡¯t know the world.  Why believe it so religiously.  However, today, an ordinary word spoken by an ordinary person moved her inexplicably.

    "Ge LaoFive, did you hear it?  If we don¡¯t abandon the people, the world will not abandon us This is the people¡¯s will.  "Tang Zihe murmured.

    Ge Laowu nodded heavily, and then a bitter look appeared on his face: "Marshal, the general who was killed just now was a subordinate of Yang Hu and his wife. This couple is not big-minded, and they are very protective of their shortcomings. We killed their subordinates without even saying hello."  General, Yang Hu and his wife may not say anything, but they must be very uncomfortable in their hearts. Although our rebel army has more than 70,000 people, it is all made up of heroic thieves from the North. If the generals below have no feelings for the marshal,  If there is a rift, it may be detrimental to our great cause"

    Tang Zihe sighed lightly, she didn't know the current situation. However, good is good and evil is evil. Promoting good and punishing evil is a must. In everything, if you stand on the basis of truth, no matter how ruthless you are, you will have no regrets.

    "Where are Yang Hu and his wife now?"

    Ge Laowu said: "According to the order of the marshal, Yang Hu and his wife led an army of 10,000 to capture Jinan Prefecture in Shandong Province. They should be leaving Beizhili soon."

    Tang Zihe thought for a while and said: "I will write a letter and send a horse to catch up. I will explain today's actions to the couple. As for whether they accept it or not, that is their business. The military law I issued was not a sway.  As you can see, I did nothing wrong in this matter."

    Ge Laowu nodded helplessly: "Yes."

    After a moment of silence, Ge Laowu said with a smile: "Marshal, Xing Huhu sent a military report. He led 20,000 rebels to capture Zhangde Mansion in Henan. The army commander rushed in with overwhelming force. The court was unmatched. In a few days, Zhangde  Then the government can be included in our bag."

    Tang Zihe raised his eyelids without feeling sad or unhappy, and said calmly: "This is a plan, so there is nothing to be happy about. There are too many people in the world who are bullied by the government. The 20,000 rebels killed them all the way, and they arrived at the gate of Zhangde Mansion.  There are more than 20,000, our army is like a rainbow, and the imperial court is retreating steadily. If Xinghuhu can't even take Zhangde Mansion, his life will be in vain."

    Looking up at the dark sky, Tang Zihe sighed: "Bazhou is only two hundred miles away from the capital. Everyone in the world thought that after occupying Bazhou, I would send my army directly to the capital, but I just did the opposite and abandoned the north.  As for taking the south, I will not take the capital, I will take the world! North Zhili, Henan, Shandong If these places are all in the hands of our rebels, our army will have a solid rear, sufficient food, grass and soldiers. The imperial court in the capital will direct  Rikeke, now I just hope that Xing Hu, Yang Hu and the others can move faster, and even faster, we will not have much time left"

    Ge Laowu asked doubtfully: "Why?"

    Tang Zihe said bitterly: "Xu Tai has besieged the city for half a month. The capital camp has suffered heavy casualties but Bazhou has not yet been defeated. Its defeat has been determined. The court will not allow us and Xu Tai to continue to waste time. The capital will inevitably change its generals within a month.  The general to counter the rebellion who was replaced by Xu Tai was none other than Qin Kan!"

    "Marshal, what you mean is that we are not Qin Kan's opponents?"

    Tang Zihe was in a trance, staring blankly at the night. He was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Qin Kan is a genius in the world. He fought against us when he suppressed the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin. His methods were unpredictable, including last month.  Liu Jin was executed in the capital court. It is said that at that time, there were waves of offensives in the Golden Palace, each one more deadly than the last. These were all Qin Kan's behind-the-scenes work. The powerful generation of Quan eunuchs fell to Qin Kan's calculations.  A formidable opponent, to be honest, if I were to fight him on the battlefield, I wouldn¡¯t be sure.¡±

    ***************************************************  ***************

    Ten days later, Xu Tai was defeated.

    After a month of siege, he achieved nothing, and the big bosses in the court who had full confidence in him began to whisper. Although Xu Tai had served as deputy general soldier in the Xuan Mansion and fought against the Tatars, it was all in the plains.  In the encounter, when it came to attacking the city, he really lacked experience. In addition, his opponent Tang Zihe was not a light-hearted opponent. The city was impregnably defended. There was still no progress in the siege for a month. The minister who had a close personal relationship with the central government sent people  He sent a letter secretly, saying that there was a lot of criticism from the imperial cabinet and the Ministry of War, and they were planning to initiate a court meeting to replace the general.

    Xu Tai was anxious. If the imperial court really changed the chief general of the counter-rebellion, Xu Tai's official career would probably stop here, and he would not be able to make any further progress. It was about his future, and Xu Tai suddenly lost his position.

    On the sixth day of November in the second year of Zhengde, Xu Tai once again ordered the entire army to attack the city. The two sides fought fiercely, with numerous casualties on both sides. Bazhou City still could not be captured for a long time. When the morale of the soldiers in the Beijing camp was gradually declining, a sudden attack occurred in the northeast of Bazhou.  A supporting army appeared, but it was Tang Zihe who secretly deployed more than 10,000 people from Qi Yanming's troops. These 10,000 rebel troops became the straw that broke the camel's back. Xu Tai's troops suddenly fell into the cracks of enemies both inside and outside.  After a round of fierce fighting, the Chinese army was in chaos. The soldiers threw away their helmets and armor and fled. When the Chinese army was in chaos, the vanguard of the front army and the rear army were unable to hold their positions and they also became chaotic.

    In this battle, there were 40,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, and more than 20,000 died. The siege of the city ended miserably in one month. Xu Tai, the leader of the rebel army, was defended to death by his own soldiers. Only then did he escape with his life.  Shi Ma Zhongxi was killed by the rebels with swords in the rebel army.

    When the news came back to the capital, the court was shocked and the officials were in an uproar!
