Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-one

Xue Renguo should have been called Xue Renguo, but the later copyist (Xiao Xian's job) made a mistake in writing, so he wrote Xue Renguo as Xue Renguo.However, I think the person who copied the book was wrong. The name Xue Renguo sounds more comfortable than Xue Renjie.Therefore, this book absorbs the natural habits of heaven and earth, and changes the name of Xue Renguo to Xue Renguo, and it will be used without regret.Xue Renguo is the son of Xue Ju, so naturally the habits of the Xue family are indispensable. The Xue family has good genes. In that era, anyone who heard a person surnamed Xue would feel a little afraid of it.

It is the fine tradition of the Xue family to be brave and good at fighting. But when Xue Renguo came here, the genes began to mutate.This kind of mutation was not benign from the beginning, he made Xue Renguo not feel ashamed at all, let alone any kindness at all, on the contrary, he was very proud of what he did.It can be said that he has done everything that animals have done, and he has done everything that animals have not done.Within the Three Realms, there is no one more cruel than Xue Renguo. If one word were used to describe his life, I believe it would be: devoid of conscience. First of all, Xue Renguo is a person who loves to eat human flesh.

Xue Renguo cannibalized countless people throughout his life, and among these countless people, Yu Gengli was the most famous.Speaking of Yu Gengli, no one may know, but this does not mean that he was not well-known at the time.Yu Gengli's father, named Yu Xin, was a famous writer during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Du Fu said: "Yu Xin's essays are more mature than old ones, and Ling Yunjian's brushwork is full of style." What he said is that Yu Kaifu's poems and essays are amazing. It is impossible for Xue Renguo to meet Yu Xin, because when Yu Xin died, he was still running around in the street wearing crotch pants.But he can meet Yu Gengli, and he can kill Yu Gengli.After capturing the city, Xue Renguo captured him, saw that he was upright and dissatisfied, and asked: "Are you dissatisfied?" Yu Gengli said: "Dissatisfied!"

Xue Renguo sneered and said, "It's amazing, it's amazing, but no matter how powerful you are, can you beat my knife?" Xue Renguo thought with all his heart that Yu Gengli would be scared to the ground by his viciousness, but he was firmly wrong once.He didn't expect that not only did Yu Gengli show no signs of fear, but he cursed at him instead.Xue Renguo had never been so angry since he was a child, so he became ruthless. He ordered Yu Gengli's clothes to be stripped off, and he cut his flesh bit by bit with a knife.This method of cutting flesh is called Ling Chi in the criminal law, and only the heinous people will enjoy this kind of treatment. When Yu Gengli met Xue Renguo, he would go to hell.Xue Renguo didn't think it was exciting enough, so when Yu Gengli was half dead, he skewered the cut meat and roasted it on the fire.While eating barbecue, he looked at Yu Gengli's pained appearance, feeling very satisfied.

When he was full, Yu Gengli also died.Small scenes like this are really commonplace for Xue Renguo, and it's not worth talking about. The second characteristic of Xue Renguo is that he is extremely stingy and very stingy.This is a fatal flaw of being a leader. Xue Ju could still protect him when he was alive, but when Xue Ju died, Xue Renguo's stinky flaw was immediately exposed. Take the war as an example, Xue Renguo has indeed made military exploits, but we must also beware of him taking everything.Because you don't know when he will put the city you fought so hard into his name.This is obviously a trivial matter, and more importantly, you can't guarantee that you will work hard to defeat the enemy for him, and he will not give you a penny.

It's not that Xue Renguo has no money, he is not short of money.Every time he invaded the city, Xue Renguo first ordered the rich households in the city to be arrested and forced them to hand over all their belongings.Naturally, rich people refused to hand over, so Xue Renguo took one as an example, hanging him upside down at 180 degrees, digging out his nose first and then his eyes, and cutting his liver open if he refused to accept it. Facts have proved that under Xue Renguo's despotic power, no matter how rich and heartless a guy is, he is just a cloud.They have dedicated all their property to Xue Bawang, but Xue Renguo's performance at this time will chill the soldiers.After he asked his subordinates to carry a whole box of treasures, he waved his hand and sent them back to eat their nests.

Xue Renguo was indeed very stingy, and his stinginess brought about even more serious consequences.That is, every time the West Qin troops captured the city, his subordinates would lead soldiers and bandits to slash and loot the city like bandits. This happened every time, a typical massacre of the city. Xue Renguo was a natural scum, the first two characteristics were enough to send him to the nineteenth level of hell, but for him, only two shortcomings were not enough to describe him.Xue Renguo is good at using soldiers, but he is quite dishonest.For example, once he led an army to attack Fufeng, but was stopped by Tang Bi, a peasant rebel army.Xue Ju sent people to surrender. Tang Bi saw that Xue Ju was strong and wanted to join him, so he led the army to surrender.

Unexpectedly, just as Xue Ju was about to pay homage to his brother, Xue Renguo killed him from behind.The first thing to declare is that his father Xue Ju didn't know that Xue Renguo would come to such a play.Therefore, he once commented on Xue Renguo helplessly and said: "Renguo is a good fighter in war, but he is extremely tyrannical by nature, and he is merciless to others. If I hand over the country to him, he will definitely die in a few years." Destroy my West Qin Jiangshan!" What Xue Ju said was correct, but there was one difference. Xue Renguo didn't kill Xiqin within a few years, but completed the task before this year.This is also thanks to Xue Renguo himself. He started to harass Tang Jing as soon as he ascended the throne, which made Li Yuan unbearable.

On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shimin was ordered to adjust his state and touched the vicinity of Gaoqian again. The shadow of the failure of the last battle still lingers in the hearts of the Tang army officers and soldiers. This time, Li Shimin fought back again, and the opponent did not change. Xue Renguo's art of war was not blown out, he was not as knowledgeable as Li Shimin, when he saw the Tang army besieging Gaoqiang, he didn't say much, and led his troops away to attack Jingzhou not far from here.That is to say, no matter how Li Shimin wants to surround Xue Renguo, it is not realistic.If Xue Renguo's opponent was replaced by anyone else, he would not let his opponent play tricks at the most critical moment, but now, his opponent is Li Shimin.

When Xue Renguo besieged Jingzhou, Li Shimin's army was still on the long journey.When Xue Renguo besieged Jingzhou, Tang Jun set up his camp and surrounded Xue Renguo again.To put it simply, the two armies are drawing circles. The central army of the Tang Dynasty is the outermost layer, the thickest layer is Xue Renguo's Western Qin army, and the innermost and weakest layer is Jingzhou. Xue Renguo is worthy of being the god of war. He can take care of both sides, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.And among these two aspects, he did know that Jingzhou City cannot be taken down, and everything else is nonsense.Theoretically, no matter how many troops Li Shimin leads, he still cannot encircle the Western Qin army. If he wants to encircle him on all sides, he will need at least a million soldiers.That said, Lee Shimin's siege has many weak spots.

Xue Renguo was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and his abacus was crackling.At this time, it was not Li Shimin who was in direct conflict with Xue Renguo, but Liu Gan, the defender of Jingzhou.With the efforts of Liu Gan, although there were several crises in Jingzhou City, they were able to save the day and cleverly avoided Xue Renguo's crazy attack. However, in the era without airdrops, it is impossible for a city to last long if it is surrounded by groups.A large part of the reason is lack of confidence, and a larger part of the reason is lack of food.Jingzhou was originally located in a remote area, and the situation is not good these years, so when Xue Renguo was besieged for a few days, the city ran out of food. Liu Gan, the guard of Jingzhou, is a very low-spirited person. It doesn't matter if there is no food, you can kill the horses and stew the broth to drink.This really moved the soldiers, and they shed tears of emotion.But when the soldiers were drinking the broth and gnawing their bones, an unexpected scene happened. Liu Gan seemed to be very interested in bone dregs. Whenever he saw soldiers spit out leftover bones, he collected them and boiled them into bone soup.Then I found a lot of sawdust and sent the sawdust to my stomach with soup.Liu Gan is a very strange person. When the soldiers asked him, he said: "I like to eat this food since I was a child. I used to eat tree bark when I was in bad times!" So the soldiers were very moved. History always likes to joke. When everyone thought that Jingzhou could not survive, a strange army went straight to the outside of Jingzhou.When Liu Gan saw it, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He knew that it was Changping Wang Li Shuliang who came to support him with his troops.When Xue Renguo saw someone rushing in, seeing that the task of starving the people of Jingzhou to death could not be completed, he turned around and left. Xue Renguo was ruthless to his subordinates, so after King Changping led the reinforcements to Jingzhou, Gaochai City sent people to surrender.The task of guarding Jingzhou fell to Li Shuliang, and it was naturally Liu Gan who went to accept surrender. Xue Renguo: The sky is dark and the field is vast, so he dragged Hongxing out of the wall.
