Chapter 194: Killing to Gain Authority
The potter only smiled faintly, and looked at it, but the east gate of Yicheng had been opened, and the banner of the word "Lu" on the city had also been lowered, and thousands of Huainan soldiers knelt on both sides of the city gate, which turned out to be the opening of the city to surrender. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"The army defending the city surrendered without a fight!?" Hua Mulan looked at the potter with amazement, and was deeply impressed by the potter's amazing insight.
The potter said with a calm face, and said with emotion: "It seems that this lucky attribute is really useful, there is Chen Deng in the front, Yang Hong in the back, Lu Bu, you like to betray others, but you have been betrayed twice, it's really ironic." β
On the same day, the second secret letter sent by Yicheng City was Yang Hong's letter of surrender.
In the letter, Yang Hong not only revealed Lu Bu's plan to rob the camp, but also claimed that he would open the city and surrender at a critical time to help him break through Yicheng.
The pottery merchant didn't know much about Yang Hong, but he was Yuan Shu's most trusted strategist.
But when the potter learned that Yang Hong was afraid of LΓΌ Bu's threat and lured Yuan Shu to go to LΓΌ Bu's army alone, but was controlled by LΓΌ Bu, the potter judged that Yang Hong had no loyalty in his heart, and he was just a villain who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and was repeatedly untrustworthy.
The character of repeated unbelief is like a poison, as long as you eat it, you will never be able to quit.
is like Lu Bu, like Liu Bei, who has been repeating his life to seek refuge in others and betray others, in this kind of repeated and untrustworthy life.
The difference is that Lu Bu is not as treacherous as Liu Bei, and in the end he failed, leaving a notoriety of being repeatedly untrustworthy and a three-surnamed domestic slave.
But Liu Bei succeeded and achieved the hegemony of the Shu Han Empire.
As the so-called king and defeat, Liu Bei succeeded, so no one cares about his bad deeds, and some people will even beautify his repeated defeats, repeated defections, and beautification into indomitable and his advantages.
Yang Hong and Liu Bei are both this kind of people.
Therefore, after the potter received Yang Hong's letter, half of them believed that Yang Hong's surrender was true.
As for the other half, the potter can only rely on his own "lucky" attribute.
Today's outcome proves that the potter was lucky enough.
In his thoughts, the potter had reined in his horse and stopped the march of the army.
Sure enough, I saw Yang Hong coming alone on a flying horse, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward, and respectfully bowed in front of the pottery merchant horse, "Hong and Huainan Shimin, looking forward to Taozhou herdsmen to kill crimes, to save the people in water and fire for a long time, and now finally Taozhou Mu is looking forward to, Hongte led the righteous into the army and the people, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and was willing to submit to Taozhou Mu, please accept the state pastor." β
The potter did not put on a thirsty look like he had treated the previous generals, rolled the saddle and dismounted, helped Yang Hong up enthusiastically, praised Yang Hong with emotion, and then knighted him.
The potter just looked down at him and sneered: "I really didn't see it, it turns out that Yang Hong, you are still a good person for the country and the people, you are a good person, why have you helped Yuan Shu to fish and meat the people of Huainan for so many years?" β
Yang Hong's face changed, his eyes were a little surprised, and he didn't seem to expect that the potter would not play according to the script he envisioned.
Embarrassed for a moment, Yang Hong sighed, and said helplessly: "Although Hong wants to get rid of Yuan Shu, he has no choice but to be weak, so he can only endure and hibernate, day and night looking at the arrival of Taozhou Mu, the master, Hong has the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Shu by the hand of Lu Bu, and then secretly help Taozhou Mu get rid of Lu Bu. β
In a few words, Yang Hong described what he did as "lying on the salary and tasting guts".
"The dead can be said to be alive, and the black can be said to be white, your mouth is really enough to compare with Zhang Yi......"
The potter sneered, suddenly his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Come on, take down this repetitive and untrustworthy villain for me." β
The order was handed down, and the soldiers on the left and right rushed up and pressed Yang Hong to the ground.
"Taozhou Pastoral ...... What are you doing...... Hong is sincerely obedient to the state pastor, and please ask the state pastor to be clear......" Yang Hong was shocked, knelt on the ground and shouted.
The potter glared at him coldly, and said sharply: "You repeated untrustworthy villain, first betrayed Yuan Shu, and then betrayed Lu Bu, now seeing that Lu Bu is at the end of the road, and thinking of my potter's hands to eat mixed rice, obviously a wall grass with no loyalty at all, but he still dares to say that he is for the country and the people, my potter hates you the most in his life This kind of hypocrite who says one thing and does another, come on, give me five horses to divide the corpse!" β
Yang Hong, who is not faithful, resourceful and mediocre, it is useless for the potter to keep him, it is better to kill him to deter people's hearts.
Under the command of the pottery merchant, there are also people like Chen Deng who betrayed the old master and surrendered to himself, he just wants to use Yang Hong's blood to warn these people, don't think about me, otherwise, Yang Hong will be your fate.
In order to achieve this goal, the potter didn't even want an extra "cash machine", and he had to kill Yang Hong.
"Taozhou Mu spares his life...... Hear me out...... Listen to me......"
Yang Hong was terrified to the extreme, howling and screaming, but the potter was indifferent, and sat and watched the soldiers use five horses to put his limbs and neck on his neck.
The person was already in the air, and the potter did not have a trace of soft-heartedness, and raised his hand.
When the order was given, the five knights twitched their whips at the same time, and the five horses kicked out in all directions.
There was a terrifying sound of flesh and bone tearing, Yang Hong's howl and begging for mercy disappeared, and five war horses dragged the bloody corpses and ran out in all directions, leaving only a blurry pool of flesh and blood in place.
The soldiers of the Tao army on the left and right all took a cool breath.
Chen Deng, who was following behind him, witnessed this tragic scene, and a layer of cold sweat quietly soaked out of his forehead.
The thousands of soldiers who were crawling on the ground were even more deeply shocked, and they were all so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a breath of air, and they were full of fear from the bottom of their hearts for the new master of the potter.
With Yang Hong's life, the potter easily suppressed everyone's hearts.
The goal has been achieved, the potter raised his head, the eagle eyes shot straight to the west, raised his sword and shouted: "The army enters the righteousness first, rest for two days, and follow me to take Shouchun!" β
β¦β¦
Jiangdong, Moling City.
Since the pacification of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, the little overlord, moved his military government from Wu County to this city by the Yangtze River at the suggestion of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu said that this city is a place of kingship.
In the lobby of the military palace, a huge map was hanging high on the wall, Sun Ce was holding his hands behind his back, staring at the map with bright eyes like stars, listening to the military under his command and analyzing the situation in the world.
"Gongsun Zhan is at the end of the road, I believe that in less than a year, Yuan Shao will break through Yijing, and then he will inevitably move south to fight for the Central Plains ......"
At the bottom of the stairs, the beautiful man who talks eloquently like a river, with a high crown and a long sword, red lips and a pink face, stands out in the crowd, and has the temperament of standing out from the crowd.
That handsomeness, even the conceited and heroic Sun Bawang is ashamed of himself.
This beautiful man is the legendary Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, and how many Jiangnan women think about Zhou Yu day and night.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was standing behind Sun Ce, and his fingers made of jade were comparing the map, discussing the world.
The Jiangdong heroes kneeling on both sides of the lobby, except for the white-haired Zhang Zhao with a disapproving face, the rest of the people were all attentive and listening, looking like ignorant children listening to Mr. 's teachings.
Even if it was Sun Ce, he couldn't stop frequenting.
"Yuan Shao waved the Central Plains, Cao Cao is his biggest enemy, although Yuan Shao's army is strong, Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven to order the princes this sharp weapon, the two princes clash, the outcome is really unpredictable, but for us, it is a great opportunity to concentrate all our efforts to destroy Liu Biao, capture Jingzhou, and take the Yangtze River."
Zhou Yu poured endlessly, and then moved his hand from the Central Plains to Huainan, "As for Huainan, I recently heard that Lu Bu has mutinied and seized the power of Yuan Shu. When they are both defeated and Lu Bu's strength is almost consumed, we can take advantage of the situation to wave our troops north, capture Huainan in one fell swoop, and take Yangzhou. β
"At that time." Zhou Yu raised his voice, "If we take Yizhou again, the entire southern half of the world, and all of them will be taken by you." At that time, whether Cao Cao or Yuan Shao possessed the north, we could fight for the Central Plains when we entered, and we could protect ourselves by relying on the risks of the Jianghuai and Qinling Mountains. β
Sun Ce nodded again and again when he listened, and his handsome face was filled with a slight smile, as if he had been sketching a great blueprint.
"Among them, the most important thing is to take Huainan. I estimate that in less than a month, Cao Cao will return from Nanyang and march east to Xuzhou, and the potters will only return to the division, and it will be our ...... at that time."
"Huainan Urgent-"
Just as Zhou Yu was talking about the key point, the scouts outside the hall rushed in, interrupting his exuberance.
The scout hurriedly entered and presented Sun Ce with the latest information book.
Sun Ce took the silk book, opened it and glanced at it a few times, and suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face.
"This potter, how quickly captured Yicheng and entered Shouchun?" Sun Ce blurted out in surprise.
As soon as this news came out, the Jiangdong heroes in front of the hall were all shocked.
Zhou Yu's face also changed, "How is it possible, even if Lu Bu is not good, he will not lose his righteousness so quickly." β
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't believe it, Sun Ce gave him the information.
Zhou Yu took the information and looked at it, and his handsome face was as beautiful as jade, and he suddenly had a trace of surprise.
Obviously, he, like Sun Ce, did not expect that Lu Bu could be defeated so quickly, seeing that the potters were about to take Shouchun and take Huainan all.
"Is this potter really so good at using soldiers?" Zhou Yu's starry eyes flashed with disbelief.
Sun Ce was also suspicious, "I heard that this person has sprung up in recent years and defeated Liu Bei and Cao Cao in a row, he is indeed a strange person." β
Zhou Yu's face became more and more strange, he knew Sun Ce, and knew that his vision was extremely high, and there were only a few people who could make Sun Ce look up to him.
This potter, but Sun Ce's high evaluation, is naturally extraordinary.
Surprised for only a moment, Zhou Yu regained his composure, and a trace of murder was ignited in his starry eyes, "If Shouchun is lost, the entire Huainan will fall into the hands of the potters, and our plans for Yangzhou will be destroyed, no matter how strong the potters are, we must no longer sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Bo Fu, it's time to do it." β
Sun Ce's expression was slightly shocked, and he stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes staring at the map, and fell into silence.
After a moment of silence, a sneer appeared on Sun Ce's handsome face, "Didn't the potter send that Zhang Yi to form an alliance with me, how could I, an ally, not help and pass on the order, tomorrow the army will go north and go straight to Shouchun, I will go to help my good ally." β
