"PS: Thank you to the "madmac16" boss for the reward of 10,000 coins! ~』

———— the following text————

From noon to midday, it was just the delivery of hundreds of subordinates, but it took a whole hour.

In this hour, the Black Tiger Crowd and county soldiers on the north bank, as well as the subordinate army generals led by Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma, all watched silently at the atrocities on the other side, and watched as those righteous soldiers forcibly stuffed a fugitive subordinate into a boat, transported it to the other bank, and handed it over to the Kunyang people.

At first, the hundreds of fugitives were still struggling and pleading, believing that they were misunderstood.

But gradually, they understood.

They were betrayed, and they were betrayed to the people of Kunyang by the generals of the trusted righteous masters......

In despair and anger, Peng Fu slammed into the righteous soldiers who tried to force him onto the boat, and stood on the boat and shouted: "Brothers, we have been deceived! It's all a conspiracy! …… There was no so-called arson attack last night, it was a lie deliberately made up by the generals of the righteous division, and their purpose in doing so was to return us to Kunyang......"

"What are you yelling about?!"

Several of the soldiers were furious and stepped forward to try to subdue Peng.

Poor Na Peng Fu's hands were tied with ropes and he couldn't resist, but he still struggled and shouted out the conspiracy of the righteous master: "...... Guan Shuo was afraid of Kunyang, he didn't dare to offend Kunyang, so he didn't dare to contain us, this is the purpose of him making up a lie and framing us as spies! …… He's going to send us all back to the Kunyang people! ”

Liu De, the righteous general in the distance, saw Peng Fu shouting, and said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Take! ”

At the same time as Liu De ordered, the few nominal soldiers around Peng Fu were actually struggling to subdue him, but Peng Fu was the uncle after all, even if his hands were tied by ropes, in the end, there was still a brute force, I saw him struggling and shouting: "Brothers, it is death to send him back to Kunyang, it is better to fight with them!" ”

At his instigation, more than a dozen of his subordinates angrily rammed into the nearest Righteous Soldier, trying to seize the latter's weapon.

"They're going to take weapons!"

A nominal soldier screamed in surprise, holding a long ge, and smashed one of the subordinates who crashed into him to the ground, breaking the bleeding.

At this point, the South Bank became more and more chaotic.

The subordinates looked angry and scolded, and the righteous master and soldiers did not show weakness, and the two people who once belonged to the same righteous master were like enemies at this moment.

In the short clash of moments, at least dozens of subordinates were put to the ground, and some of them were even covered in blood and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

At the time of chaos, Liu De, the general of the righteous division, said angrily: "These people are spies sent by Kunyang to disturb the hearts of our army, there is no need to show mercy to them, if there is a resistant, kill them on the spot!" ”

This order made the righteous soldiers even more confused: since these people are Kunyang's spies, why do they have to negotiate with Kunyang and let the Kunyang people exchange them with armaments?

Gradually, a small group of Righteous Soldiers began to feel that something was wrong.

For example, Uncle Wang Gong.

Between Liu De and Peng Fu, Wang Gong believed that Peng Fu's words, that is, the generals of his righteous teacher, for some reason, betrayed this group of loyal soldiers who were still obsessed with the righteous master after being captured by Kunyang and tried their best to escape back to the righteous master, and betrayed them to the people of Kunyang.

This was not the first time he had encountered the 'conspiracy' among his righteous teachers, he still remembered that during the Battle of Kunyang last year, one of his righteous teachers was a soldier named Liu Ming, who was also secretly executed by some of the righteous teachers as spies......

"Righteous Master, does it really represent benevolence and justice?"

Wang Gong was confused.

However, most of the righteous soldiers still chose to believe the words of the general Liu De, and unceremoniously dealt with the 'malicious rumor-mongers' led by Peng Fu.

Immediately, Peng Fu was knocked to the ground by several nominal soldiers, bleeding from his head and arms, and from the side, those subordinates who tried to seize weapons were killed on the spot by the righteous soldiers.

Seeing this scene from afar, Chen Gui asked Ma Gai in a low voice: "County lieutenant, let's just do it?" ”

Ma Gai, who was asked by him, stood on the shore with his arms crossed at the moment, looking at the other side as if watching a play, and after hearing Chen Gui's words, he said lightly: "These escapees, even if they come back, they will die, and they will die in the hands of the other side, so we don't have to do it." ”

He didn't care about Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma, the four generals, who were standing not far from him at this moment.

As he expected, Qin Yu and Jia Shu changed their expressions after hearing his words, but they didn't say a word.

They didn't know what to say.

But it is a pity that Ma Gaina's idea of 'borrowing a knife to kill' was not realized after all, and the righteous soldiers on the opposite side immediately controlled the situation after killing about 30 recalcitrant subordinates.

At this time, Peng Fu and the others who took the lead had either been beaten to a coma or had been killed, and without anyone taking the lead, the remaining more than 400 subordinates no longer dared to resist.

They just looked at the righteous soldiers who were cruel to them with hatred and resentment, and then, under the persecution and urging of the latter, they squeezed onto the boat, desperately waiting for the fate that would fall into the hands of Kunyang again.

Around the end of the day, a total of more than 400 subordinates were all taken to the north shore, and even the bodies of the dozens of killed subordinates were also brought to the north shore.

Seeing this, Ma Gai did not regret it, and waved his hand: "Give them those armaments." ”

Under his order, more than 1,000 people escorted the armaments to the garrison, sent dozens of people to carry the armaments, and delivered the armaments on the carriages to the other side of the river. 120

During this period, Ma Gai did not count the number of fugitives who were returned, but Liu De sent someone to count the number of the armaments.

Immediately, Liu De led his volunteers back to the barracks.

Seeing this, Ma Gai on the other side of the river shook his head and said, "It's really rude, it's five hundred weapons and armor, and he doesn't even say hello." ”

Of course, what he said was just a joke, after all, today, although the righteous master has gained more than 500 weapons and armor, he has lost much more.

After ridiculing, he turned his head to Qin Yu and said, "A few, then let's go back too?" ”

“……”

Except for Qin Wei, who was silent, Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma glanced at each other.

After exhaling slightly, Xu Shen said with a straight face: "Chief Zhou's methods are really terrifying......

Xu Ma was slightly stunned, and was about to help Xu Shen round the field, but saw Xu Shen looking at the other side of the river and sighed: "However, on the other side, it is becoming more and more chilling." ”

His words can be said to have expressed the hearts of all the subordinate soldiers present: no matter what the reason, the generals of the Changsha Volunteer Division did betray the soldiers who were loyal to them.

Hearing this, Ma Gai put away his jokes, and said, "I have no other intention to invite four people to come and watch today, I just hope that a few of them can do it wholeheartedly." …… The leader of Zhou attaches great importance to the four, and if the four can be sincerely obedient, the leader of Zhou will never be treated badly. ”

Xu Shen and Xu Ma glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

Now, what choice do they have?

At this time, Jia Shu hugged his fist towards Ma Gai, and asked with a tangled expression: "County Lieutenant Ma, I don't know how Kunyang will deal with these fugitives?" ”

"Well...... this"

Ma Gai turned his head to look into the distance, and looked at the more than four hundred fugitives who had no life in their eyes.

Jia Shu was mistaken and pleaded: "Your goal has been achieved, why do you want to slaughter again?" After today, no one will miss the righteous master again......"

From the side, Xu Shen and Xu Ma looked at the tragic situation of those who fled from their subordinates, and they inevitably felt a kind of sadness like a rabbit and a dead fox, and they all looked at Ma Gai.

Seeing that several people looked at him one after another, Ma Gai said with a wry smile: "This matter has to be decided by Leader Zhou......

As soon as the words fell, I heard Qin Yu clench his fists and say: "Lieutenant Ma, I want to ask to see Captain Zhou, and I hope that Lieutenant Ma will be accommodating." ”

"Yes."

Ma Gai glanced at Qin Yu and nodded slightly.

On the same day, except for Shi Yuan, Chen Gui and others, they each led the garrison guards to continue to be on duty along the riverbank, and Ma Gai returned to the county seat with Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma, including more than 1,000 subordinate soldiers and more than 400 deserters.

Immediately, Ma Gai took Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma to the county government to see Zhao Yu.

As the so-called warm words in the mouth and big stick in the hand, since Qin Yu and the four of them have seen their own methods, then when they summon these four people again, there is naturally no need to intimidate.

No, when he took the lead in summoning Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma, Zhao Yu never mentioned what happened on the bank of the river, but just comforted the three of them with kind words and promised all kinds of promises, which made Jia Shu, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma, who were trembling in their hearts, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when it comes to treating Qin Yu, Zhao Yu is a little uncertain.

After all, among the four people, Qin Yu is relatively dull and stubborn.

But to his surprise, after Qin Yu saw him, he knocked on one knee to him, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a complicated expression: "I never imagined that Chief Zhou could really make Guan Shuo compromise, I'm afraid there is a reason I don't know...... I don't want to inquire about that, I just implore the head of Zhou to put aside the butcher's knife and spare the lives of those who escaped. After all, it was my inaction that caused more than 1,300 people in Xiangtun to be killed, and nearly 500 people escaped...... If the leader of Zhou promised not to kill them, the last general would be willing to be loyal to the leader of Zhou, and there would be no half-heartedness. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu stood up, stepped forward to help Qin Yu, and said with a straight face: "Zhou Mou once said at the beginning that I have no malice towards the righteous teacher, but I am the enemy of each other, and some things have to be done. …… If Qin Qu will sincerely defect to me Zhou Hu, Zhou will not be treated badly. As for the matter of Qu Jiang's plea...... In this way, for the sake of Qin Qu's intercession, the rest of the people can not be held accountable, but the few people who lead the people must be punished, otherwise it is not enough to warn everyone. ”

Of course, Qin Yu knew that Zhao Yu was referring to Peng Fu and a few people, and when he heard the words, he was asking for mercy, but he saw Zhao Yu holding his arm and preemptively said: "If you run away from him, you will be punished, this is what Zhou said that day, if Zhou doesn't believe it, don't say anything else, just say that Qin Qu will be you, will you still believe the promise I Zhou Hu made today?" ”

Qin Wei was speechless, and finally sighed secretly and said no more.

Before dusk that night, Zhao Yu ordered the execution of more than 10 fugitives led by Peng Fu, and forgave the remaining nearly 400 fugitives.

Except for Qin Yu's accident, few of the more than 400 fugitives were saddened by the death of Peng Fu and others, and most of them were grateful for Kunyang's forgiveness and grateful to a certain Zhou leader.

The next day, Zhao Yu deliberately transferred the more than 400 fugitives to Beitun and mixed them with the rest of the subordinate reclamation army, and used these more than 400 mouths to inform the more than 10,000 subordinate soldiers of their personal experience.

For a while, more than 10,000 subordinate soldiers were in an uproar, and the crowd was furious, they never thought that the righteous generals they had never forgotten would treat them like this and defect to the righteous teachers again.

At this point, Zhao Yu no longer had to worry about the more than 10,000 subordinate soldiers fleeing back to the rebel army.

During the period when the more than 10,000 subordinate soldiers were indignant at the Changsha Yishi, Zhao Yu also received a message sent by his henchman He Shun.

With joy in his heart, he immediately took Jingnu and Niu Heng and the two black tiger thieves and went straight to Zhushan in the west.

According to Zhao Yu's instructions in advance, He Shun would take Zhang Ji to Zhushan to meet him.
