After a while, more than 5,000 soldiers led by Zhang Min gathered in front of Zhang Min.

Zhang Honghu glanced at the soldiers present, and then said loudly: "Brothers, do you know what we have just done? We have killed someone! As a soldier, if you kill the enemy on the battlefield, it is not a big deal. However, do you know that we killed Lao Tzu, the assassin of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, just now. Cao Cao's personality must be known to everyone. At the beginning, because Tao Qian invaded Yanzhou, it attracted Cao Cao's revenge, so that Xuzhou was devastated. Now that we have killed Cao Cao's Lao Tzu, will we have an easier time than Tao Qian? Some people may ask why Ben Du Wei still takes you to do this? In fact, Ben Du Wei only understood it under Cao Cao's Lao Tzu's explanation just now. It turned out that all this was what Tao Qian expected. Because Tao Qian doesn't need us anymore, he wants to borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of us. ”

"How can this be, we just follow orders from above, why do you treat us like this?"

"We are not convinced, we have to go back to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian's theory, why treat us like this?"

"Ah, it's terrible, are we going to die, why don't we run away?"

After listening to Zhang Min's words, among the more than 5,000 soldiers, nearly 3,000 soldiers began to discuss with each other. As for the remaining two thousand soldiers, they all maintained a flat expression. It seems that this has been known for a long time. If Zhang Min knew the number of soldiers who reacted abnormally, maybe Zhang Min would have had other reactions. Unfortunately, these 2,000 soldiers mixed in with the crowd. Where does Zhang Min have time to look at them one by one?

"Tao Qian's old thief deceived people too much, I won't accept it, and I will go back to Xuzhou to seek justice!"

"That's right, go back to Xuzhou!"

When the crowd was discussing fiercely, some people shouted loudly, listening to their tone, it seemed that Tao Qian had a hatred for killing his father and wife. Of course. These radicals were arranged by Zhang Min in the crowd.

"Brothers, be still, and listen to a word. ”

Zhang Min stood in front of the soldiers and waved his hand vigorously to indicate that he had something to say. And Zhang Min arranged his subordinates. They all reacted in time, stopped shouting, and some actively dissuaded the soldiers around them, and the scene quickly calmed down with the cooperation of these internal responses.

"Brethren. Tao Qian treated us like this. It's really chilling, and I hope you can listen to it. ”

Zhang Min saw that all the soldiers were staring at him intently, and a sense of pride arose, and it seemed that he was still very good at being a leader.

"Brothers, Tao Qian has given up on us, why do we still have to work for Tao Qian? Is a person like him worthy of our life for him? No matter what you think, you think that Tao Qian is no longer worthy of our life for him. Now we have robbed Cao Song of a huge amount of family assets. And when the world is in turmoil, as long as we have money and people. Therefore, I think that we should leave Xuzhou and establish a career, so that we can glorify our ancestors and raise our eyebrows in the future, what do you brothers think?"

"What Zhang Duwei said is very true, we are willing to follow!"

"Swear to follow Zhang Duwei to the death, there is no second heart!"

The 5,000 soldiers present were all under Zhang Min's command when he was a yellow turban thief at the beginning. Later, Zhang Min led them to the imperial court and was subordinate to Tao Qian in Xuzhou. Among them, nearly 1,000 people have always regarded Zhang Min as their leader, and although they are not Zhang Min's henchmen, they are also loyal supporters of Zhang Min; there are also 3,000 soldiers who still have old feelings for Zhang Min, and they naturally hope to follow Zhang Min to make a career in their hearts. However, these 3,000 soldiers have followed Zhang Min in Xuzhou for many years, and have already started a family in Xuzhou, most of them have already married wives and had children, although they want to follow Zhang Min, it is also a difficult choice. In addition to these 4,000 people, there were 1,000 people who were mixed in with the crowd, showing no attitude, and no one knew what they meant.

Although Zhang Min had already expected that not everyone would be willing to follow him, when he saw that only more than a thousand people were willing to follow him, his heart was still a little bleak.

These more than 5,000 people can be said to have been led by him at the beginning, but now at this critical time, only so many 1,000 people have stood up to support him, and the high-spirited heart that he had just raised was suddenly extinguished again. The ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, this is Zhang Min's inner thoughts at this time.

"Captain Pontus knows that all the brothers have their own ideas, and Captain Bendu will not force them. Maybe after you return to Xuzhou, you can still be an ordinary person with peace of mind, tease your grandson every day, and live a dull life. However, Captain Bendu was not reconciled, born in troubled times, if he couldn't mention the three-foot Qingfeng, he would not come to the world for nothing. Therefore, those who are willing to follow Captain Bendu, Captain Bendu will definitely lead you to a career, and you will be able to raise your head in front of people in the future, only others will look up to you, not you!"

"Lift the three-foot Qingfeng and make contributions!"

"Zhang Duwei is mighty and majestic, I will follow him to the death!"

After Zhang Min finished speaking, the more than 1,000 soldiers who loyally followed Zhang Min shouted excitedly. And the soldiers, who were still thinking about their wives and children at home, were also infected by such an atmosphere, waving their arms and shouting hoarsely. In just a short period of time, nearly 1,000 people joined the army that followed Zhang Min.

In addition to the nearly 1,000 soldiers whose attitudes were uncertain, the other 2,000 soldiers also showed their intentions. As a man, who doesn't want to mention the three-foot Qingfeng, crisscross the battlefield, make meritorious achievements, and become famous all over the world? If you go back to be an ordinary person like this, I am afraid that your wife and children will not be able to raise their heads in front of others. If his son grows up, he will also feel that his son was really a wretched at the beginning, and he didn't even have a little decision.

Thinking of this, nearly a thousand more people soon joined, and only the remaining 2,000 people have not yet expressed their position.

There can be 3,000 people who are willing to follow him. Zhang Min is already very satisfied. As for the remaining 2,000 people, they couldn't make a decision at this moment, and Zhang Min didn't care.

"This time, the brothers followed Captain Pontus to fight. All have credit. Those who don't want to follow the captain of the capital can receive some money and return to Xuzhou to live a peaceful life. And for those who are willing to follow Captain Pontus, the rest of the money belongs to all of us. What do you think, brothers, that everyone can be equipped with weapons, armor, and fine horses, and that Captain Pontus will make you an elite soldier so that everyone can hear our name and be defeated without a fight?"

"Zhang Duwei is wise!"

"Zhang Duwei is mighty!"

Now that the choice has been made. Zhang Min didn't say more, and immediately began to organize people to tidy up the battlefield and pick up loot. Cao Song is also a huge greedy. More than a dozen carriages were full of all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, so that the soldiers who packed up looked straight in the eyes, wishing that these things were their own. There are also many soldiers who secretly hide some when they are tidying up. But not much. It's not easy to spot.

"Adult, the little one has something important to report!"

Just as Zhang Min was thinking about the future ahead, a subordinate rushed to him and said a little eagerly.

"What?"

Zhang Min had a straight face, and was interrupted when he was thinking about the future, Zhang Min was naturally a little annoyed. However, looking at the eagerness of his subordinates, it seems that there is something important. Zhang Min eased up a lot. However, his face still forced himself to put on a posture of a superior person. said that Zhang Min was originally just a yellow turban thief. Most of the people I saw were peasants, bandits, and the like, so how could there be any momentum at all? Zhang Min's posture was learned from Tao Qian. Of course, that was the posture that Tao Qian put on in the early years, and now Tao Qian is already in his last years, and his ambition is not there, so how can he have any momentum at all.

"My lord, when my subordinates were tidying up the battlefield just now, they found that Cao Song's guards were still alive, if they hadn't been discovered by their subordinates, I am afraid that they would have fled. ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhang Min suddenly frowned. Cao Song has nearly a thousand guards, and the battlefield is extremely chaotic, and it is inevitable that some people will fish in troubled waters and pretend to be dead to escape. Now Zhang Min is the murderer, and Cao Song's guards basically know it. If these guards were allowed to escape and report to Cao Cao, it was estimated that Zhang Min would be in trouble. After thinking for a while, Zhang Min made a decision.

"Someone, pass on the order of the captain. A law enforcement team was formed to search all of Cao Song's guards, and no one should be spared. If there is a mistake, it will not be forgiven!"

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

The soldier suddenly felt that Zhang Min had a different momentum, just like the feeling of seeing the official when he was still a civilian. muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, received Zhang Min's order, and hurriedly went to convey Zhang Min's order.

When the soldiers left, Zhang Min continued to ponder where their group would go in the future.

Xuzhou definitely can't go back, as for Yanzhou, as long as Zhang Min's head doesn't get water, it is estimated that he will not consider it here. As for the more remote places, Zhang Min will not think about it, and Zhang Min has not thought about it in places like Liangzhou and Jiangdong. Judging from the current situation, Qingzhou and Jizhou are the best places to go.

Needless to say, Qingzhou does not have a formal history of thorns in management today. Originally, the imperial court appointed Kong Rong as the assassin of Qingzhou, but he was cut off by Gongsun Zan halfway, held the envoy of the imperial court hostage, and took the power of the governor of the four states. And Gongsun Chan appointed Tian Kai, the general under his command, as the Qingzhou Assassin History, as long as people with brains will not recognize Tian Kai's status. Moreover, the people in Qingzhou are relatively idle and have nothing to do, and they like to rebel, like the Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou. If you go to Qingzhou, it is a good idea. However, everything has to be done from scratch in Qingzhou, which is a bit troublesome. Zhang Min now has nothing but the 3,000 soldiers and the looting of Cao Song's family property. Don't look at what Zhang Min said in front of the soldiers, if you want people, money, and money, you seem to be able to do anything. However, only Zhang Min himself understands that with these soldiers who only have some force and Cao Song's family wealth, it is also a fool's dream to occupy Qingzhou.

Therefore, Zhang Min soon had another idea, that is, to take refuge in other forces.

For example, there are more than a dozen well-known forces today, among which Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Ma Teng of Liangzhou are relatively strong. Don't look at Yuan Shu's record in history is not very good, but. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu still had many generals and strategists. It's just that Yuan Shu doesn't know how to operate. was stunned to defeat the huge Yangzhou, and finally became cornered, vomiting blood and dying, I have to say that Yuan Shu is also a cup.

Secondly, the location of Ma Teng in Liangzhou is too remote, and he has to beware of the Xiqiang alien race at all times, which is obviously no longer in Zhang Min's consideration. As for Liu Biao. has become a dog guarding the household, although Zhang Min does not have enough wisdom to think, but. There are many talented people among the people, and they can also see the general trend of the world, Zhang Min heard from these people, and he also knew about Liu Biao's situation.

In addition to the above three forces. The three major forces of Jizhou Yuan Shao, Yanzhou Cao Cao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan remained. Cao Cao excluded. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan are both good candidates.

Yuan Shao once served as the leader of the Eighteenth Route Alliance, as well as the name of the Yuan family, before he had in-depth contact with Yuan Shao and enough IQ to understand Yuan Shao's ability, Yuan Shao was an excellent candidate for the lord in the eyes of many strategists and generals. Zhang Min is obviously not among them, so in Zhang Min's opinion, Yuan Shao is a good candidate, and in addition, the name of Youzhou Gongsun Zan is not weak. can confront Yuan Shao, and there is also a world-famous cavalry team, White Horse Yicong. The top cavalry that makes people's blood boil, Zhang Min also once longed for it.

Therefore, Zhang Min is entangled in the question of whether to take refuge in Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan at the moment, they are all good choices, and it is a pity to give up either one.

"It is rumored that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a deep friendship, and if they take refuge in Yuan Shao, it will be like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. It seems that Yuan Shao can't do it either, only Gongsun Zan can take refuge. ”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Min had already focused most of his attention on Gongsun Zhan.

"My lord, my subordinates have something important to report. ”

When Zhang Min had already thought about it, another voice woke him up from his contemplation. When Zhang Min saw the visitor, he was even more annoyed. It turned out that the soldier who came to report in front of him was one of the guards who guarded Cao Song and the others before. The eight guards who guarded Cao Song, Zou Clan, Zhao Ji and Cao De before, because of their negligence, made Cao Song, Zou and Zhao Ji successfully hidden. At that time, Zhang Min estimated that there would really be no way to live at all. Therefore, Zhang Min was extremely angry with the eight guards. However, because these eight guards were his loyal confidants, Zhang Min didn't want to really kill these eight guards, so he just reprimanded them harshly, and did not pursue them too much. However, at this moment, Zhang Min was thinking about such an important matter as the road ahead, but he was disturbed, and the anger he had before accumulated even more, and he couldn't wait to drag this guard down and behead him on the spot. However, looking at the guard's anxious expression, Zhang Min endured it, but wanted to hear what the guard had to say. If he said something inconsequential, Zhang Min would definitely not be polite, and he would let these subordinates know his majesty.

"What's the matter, say!"

Zhang Min sat upright, staring at the guards with strong and majestic eyes, as if he wanted to use his momentum to deter the guards. However, Zhang Min's posture was originally learned from Tao Qian, and it was a bit nondescript, coupled with Zhang Min's bandit-like temperament, it made people want to laugh when they saw it. At least, the guard, who was about to report an important matter, kept holding back and didn't laugh, so as not to let Zhang Min find a way to take over himself.

"My lord, when my subordinates were tidying up the battlefield, they found that there were still living people..."

"Plop!"

Before the guard could finish speaking, Zhang Min already kicked the guard away with an angry face, and shouted angrily at the same time: "Useless thing, didn't Captain Bendu have already given the order just now, search the battlefield, but there are living people, don't you want to kill, isn't Captain Bendu's order clear enough? If you are all so incompetent, what use does Captain Bendu want you to do!"

"My lord, my subordinates haven't finished reporting yet, and I ask my lord to listen to his subordinates finish talking about this matter!"

"Okay, Captain Bendu will give you a chance, if you can't satisfy Captain Bendu, Captain Bendu will kill you!" Zhang Min said angrily, and then pulled out the sword at his waist with a "sonorous".

"Yes, yes!"

As if frightened by Zhang Min's sword, the guard nodded like garlic, and then said quickly: "My lord, my original subordinates also killed the living mouth according to the orders of the adults. However, the subordinates found that one of them was a little different. Later, after thinking about it carefully, he found that the person was somewhat similar to Cao De, the son of Cao Song, and his subordinates guessed that this person might be the son of Cao De. ”

Zhang Min approached the guard with his sword, gritted his teeth, and said, "What about Cao De's son? We all killed him Lao Tzu and his grandfather. What if one more person is killed? Don't you even have to ask Captain Bendu for such things, ah!"

"My lord, it's not!"

Watching the tip of the sharp sword in Zhang Min's hand shake in front of his eyes. Cold sweat couldn't help but drip down the guard's forehead, and he even quickened his voice and said: "My lord, after the deliberation of my subordinates, I feel that I can make good use of this son of Cao De, so my subordinates came to ask for my lord's opinion." ”

"Oh, what the idea, Captain Pontus wants to hear it. If that's right. When you have done the same, you will be erased, and Captain Bendu will be able to give you a credit. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

The guard said gratefully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's so dangerous, I almost lost my life. The guard thought to himself, if he was killed in the future, he would not do such a job, it would be a human life.

"Your Excellency. After the subordinates have consulted. I think it can be so, so... I wonder what adults think?"

The guard recounted the results of their deliberations in Zhang Min's ear, and then stood aside in a worried mood, not knowing what Zhang Min would decide.

"Haha, yes, very good!"

After listening to what the guards said, Zhang Min was only stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and laughed and praised. At this moment, the look of annoyance on Zhang Min's face had already disappeared, and he patted the guard's shoulder excitedly. As a sign of encouragement.

Subsequently, Zhang Min selected two soldiers from the army who were clever and quick-witted. to cooperate with Zhang Min to complete this matter.

When Zhang Min found out the people, the soldiers on the other side also prepared the corresponding things, as long as they explained to the two soldiers, there would not be much trouble.

"Hey, buddy, haven't you heard?"

"Dude, what the hell is going on, you have to tell it. Otherwise, how can I guess, little brother?"

"Hey, it's my mistake, dude. Do you know that this interception and killing of Cao Song's old thief was actually an order issued by Tao Qian's old man, Tao Qian's main purpose was to take the opportunity to get rid of us, and at the same time, Tao Qian issued such an order in order to retaliate against Cao Cao's invasion of Yanzhou, preparing to kill Cao Cao's Laozi to vent his anger. ”

"Isn't this a bit unkind? As the so-called misfortune does not affect parents, will Tao Qian's actions make the world despised?"

"Hmph, except for Tao Qian, only adults and characters like us know that how many people in the world will know that this incident was instigated by Tao Qian?"

"What my brother said is very much, pity me and others as small soldiers, and we can only obey the orders from above, alas!"

The two guards stood beside Cao Zhi, whispering something to each other. The two may have thought that no one had heard, so although they were communicating, they told all the inside information.

It is said that lying at the feet of these two guards is Cao Zhi and Cao Anmin!

As early as before, Cao De actually knew Cao Song's intentions. However, remembering Cao Song's nurturing grace to him, Cao De did not make any objections, but just silently endured all this. And as Zhao Ji said, the reason why Cao De was able to discover Cao Song's intentions was because of Cao Zhi's problem. Since Cao Song didn't care about the life or death of his children and grandchildren, Cao De didn't say much. However, Cao De was willing to send Cao Song to death, but it was impossible for his son to die with him. Therefore, in the previous time, Cao De asked Cao Zhi to wear the clothes of a guard, and when the killing began, Cao Zhi smeared some red blood on the bodies of his nearby comrades, and lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

The two guards carefully said all the content of this paragraph, looking at the eyes closed, and the corners of their mouths showed a mocking smile. As Zhang Min's confidants and personal guards, as long as they know that, according to Zhang Min's instructions, they will clearly explain the content of the previous explanation in front of Cao Zhi, which is enough. The two guards talked for a while, and seemed to feel that they were a little talkative, and after a short conversation, they quickly left the place. As for Cao Zhi's "corpse", the two guards didn't bother with it, and it seemed that they had forgotten about this corpse.

On the other side, two guards stood in front of Zhang Min and told Zhang Min everything before.

"Very well, if it is done, you will have no merit and merit, and Captain Bendu will keep it in mind. Well, the time can't be delayed too long, the order goes down, and everyone is ready to evacuate.
