The reason why Zhang Xiu didn't agree to the Deng family's plea for mercy was not only related to her own face, but also her desire to kill the tiger and the monkey. In the eyes of such aristocratic families as the Deng family, Liu PI and Gong Du are not on the table.
Although Gong Du and Liu PI were occupying Runan, they were extremely arrogant. If you really want to annoy the aristocratic families, it's easy for these aristocratic families to work hard to wipe out Gong Du and Liu PI.
The killing of Liu PI and Gong Du by Zhang Xiu could not deter these big families.
In order to make the big families in Nanyang County, or in the north of Yuyang County, bow down and obey, one must be brought out to build a power.
The Deng family is typical.
In Nanyang County, the Deng family is the strongest.
Zhang Xiu's capture of the Deng family is to kill the tiger and frighten the monkey, and frighten the big families in Nanyang County.
So even if the Deng family begged for mercy, Zhang Xiu would not stop.
Deng Jing left, and Zhang Xiu led his troops to the south.
Zhang Xiu's journey is leisurely and leisurely, and her attitude is very relaxed. Deng Jing is not the same, he was rejected by Zhang Xiu, heart nervous, thinking about how to go back to Deng Xi.
When he came here, Deng Xi said that only success is allowed, not failure.
But he failed.
He wanted to persuade Zhang Xiu, but there was no chance at all.
Deng Jing rushed all the way back to Deng's house, went straight to his study, bowed to Deng Xi, and said, "master, Zhang Xiu doesn't accept our request for peace from Deng's family, and insists on going to the door to ask for a crime!"
Deng Xinu yelled: "waste!"
Deng Jing a pair of unjust look, explained: "the master, not my incompetence, is Zhang Xiu too inhuman."
"I can't speak in front of Zhang Xiu."
"Just imagine, I don't even have a chance to speak. How can I succeed?"
"Zhang Xiu said directly that if Xie Yu had not been captured, our Deng family would not have taken the initiative to seek peace. What he meant was that the Deng family was not sincere in seeking peace. "
Deng Jing also said: "Zhang Xiu also said that if the Deng family wanted to ask for a crime, they would ask for a peace. It is impossible for the Deng family to ask for a peace. Therefore, Zhang Xiu is determined to come and ask for justice. "
"Rampant!"
Deng Xi slapped on the desk with fierce eyes.
He has been in charge of the Deng family for decades, from the governor to the prefect and the head of the pavilion. Unexpectedly, I met a Zhang Xiu who didn't know the current affairs.
Deng Jing slightly bow body, uneasy asked: "master, how do we do?"
Deng Xi's face was ferocious and said: "what else can we do? If Zhang Xiu wants to fight, the Deng family can only accompany her to the end. However, it is the best way to go to war. You immediately go to the county government to meet with the magistrate of Xinye, Cai you, and ask him to mediate after Zhang Xiu's arrival. "
"Here it is
Deng Jing answered and turned to leave.
In Deng Jing's opinion, it doesn't make sense. But now the situation is difficult, only dead horse as a live horse doctor, even if it is useless, also want to try.
Deng Jing came back soon. Seeing Deng Xi again, he replied, "master, the magistrate of Xinye has agreed. He said that when Zhang Xiu arrived outside Deng's house, he would mediate for us. "
"Good, good!"
Deng Xi even said two good words, and was immediately relieved.
Deng Xi also issued an order to gather the Deng family's private soldiers and let them all wait and be ready to attack at any time.
Time goes by.
Zhang Xiu is getting closer and closer to the county. In the evening, Zhang Xiu's 8000 elite soldiers arrived outside the city. Soldiers stationed at the gate of the city, to see the mighty lineup, dare not stop, can only let Zhang Xiu into.
Moreover, Zhang Xiu's visit to Deng's home to ask for a crime has already spread in Xinye county. Everyone knows that Zhang Xiu is here for the Deng family, not to attack Xinye, so no one does not open his eyes to stop Zhang Xiu.
The team entered the city and soon came to Deng's home.
The soldiers on the street outside the dense house of Deng ma. Six thousand soldiers under Xie Yu's command surrounded the Deng family under Zhang Xiu's command.
Zhang Xiu's two thousand clans were arrayed outside the main gate, murderous.
"Creak!"
When the door opened, Deng Xi led his family to the gate.
All of us look dignified.
Zhang Xiu galloped her horse and stood up, squinting at the Deng family and shouting, "who is Deng Xi?"
Deng Xi shook his robe, walked forward two steps, arched his hand and said, "I've met General Zhang. I don't know what general Zhang wants to do when he comes to Deng's house? "
Zhang Xiu chuckled and replied: "Ben's intention of the future Deng family has been clearly stated for a long time. Dengxi, in front of so many people, it's meaningless to pretend to be stupid. "
Deng Xi is accused by Zhang Xiu, and his face is dull.
But now, he has to bear it.
For the sake of the Deng family, he has to fight to defuse the current fight.
Deng Xi said: "General Zhang, Deng Chen is wrong, and Deng's business is also wrong. Please forgive the Deng family for offending General Zhang. General Zhang, please make an offer. My Deng family is willing to apologize. ""Seriously?"
Zhang Xiu has a faint smile in her mouth.
Deng Xi said: "of course, it's true. General Zhang, please make an offer."
For duncy, it's worth it if money can solve the immediate problems. As long as the Deng family is still there, it is still the Deng family.
This is duncy's consideration.
Zhang Xiu raised her lips, raised a smile, and said: "you Deng family are willing to apologize, this will not be unkind. As long as you take out 90% of the Deng family's property, you will forget the past. "
"No way!"
Dengxi did not hesitate, refused directly.
For the Deng family, to take out 20% of their property is to gouge out the heart and blood of the Deng family. Deng Xi's tolerance limit, that is, 20% of Deng's family property, is not enough.
It's the price of Deng's family.
It's impossible.
Deng Xi took a deep breath and said slowly: "General Zhang, the Deng family are willing to apologize. They are sincere. General Zhang, please give me a suitable condition. "
Zhang Xiu said with disdain: "this is the only condition for this general. If the Deng family can't be satisfied, it's time to score. "
Hearing Zhang Xiu's threat, Deng Xi said: "General Zhang, the Deng family has retreated. If you take an inch, Deng Jiate is not afraid. Nanyang Dengshi, will accompany to the end. "
"Good, good one. I'll accompany you to the end."
Zhang Xiu gave a smile and said, "I'm afraid you don't want to fight. If you want to fight, that's the best."
"County magistrate Cai is here!"
Suddenly, a cry came from a distance.
"Wheel! Wheel
A carriage came fast and stopped not far away. The curtain of the carriage door was lifted, and a thin middle-aged man of letters, dressed in a long black shirt, wearing a Jinxian crown and a sword hanging from his waist, stepped out of the carriage.
His name is Cai you, the magistrate of Xinye county.
With a faint smile on his face, he came to Zhang Xiu, arched his hand and said, "Cai you, magistrate of Xinye County, has met General Zhang."
Zhang Xiu said, "what can I do for you, magistrate Cai?"
Cai you didn't beat around the Bush and said, "General Zhang, the Deng family is a famous family in Xinye. If something happens to the Deng family, there will be unrest in Xinye. Can you give me a chance to sit down with the Deng family and have a talk? "
Zhang Xiu asked: "your surname is Cai, who came from the Cai family in Xiangyang?"
"Yes
Cai you answered directly.
Zhang Xiuzheng said: "not long ago, Cai Mao was captured by the general and became a prisoner. Because of this, the Cai family paid 100000 Jin of food, 1000 swords, 500 sets of armor and 100 craftsmen. Cai you, are you sure you want to get involved? "
There is a threat in the words.
When Cai you heard the speech, his eyes were solemn.
He knows about CAI Mao. Cai Mao was captured by Zhang Xiu, not only lost Cai Mao's face, but also let the family bear a great loss.
After thinking about it, Cai you asked, "I have heard about the conflict between general Zhang and the Deng family. I don't know general Zhang, what kind of price does the Deng family need to pay before they are willing to withdraw? "
Zhang Xiu said: "it's very simple. Let the Deng family hand over 90% of their property."
Cai you said, "is there no room for negotiation?"
"No!"
"As long as the Deng family doesn't agree, there will be a war," Zhang Xiu said
Cai you looked at Deng Xi and asked, "master Deng, what's your opinion?"
Deng Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I, a famous family in Nanyang, can't accept Zhang Xiu's conditions. As soon as you open your mouth, you'll get 90% of Deng's family business. It's impossible. "
Cai you sighed: "you have different opinions and are not willing to give in. It's useless for me to mediate. Master Deng, you should do it yourself. "
With that, Cai you said, "General Zhang, goodbye!"
Zhang Xiu looks at Cai you and smiles. The magistrate of Xinye county is a smart man.
