Just as Legui and Ju Sheng were chatting on the north city gate, the twenty rebel captives who were released had also run out of Kunyang's arrow range.

They escaped and ascended to heaven, lying on the ground panting, or some wept with joy.

They didn't doubt the words of the Kunyang people - what reason did the Kunyang people have to use their grain to feed a group of captives?

When the general surnamed Le gave the order, they both knew that the other party really wanted to kill them.

Fortunately, God forbid, they finally saved their lives.

But what next?

When everyone looked at each other, one of them was the first to ask, "Shall we ...... Do you really want to return to the righteous teacher? I don't think the people of Kunyang will lie, and the ten brothers who were released earlier may have really been ...... We killed ourselves. ”

The rest of the crowd was silent.

Neither of them thought that the Kunyang people were lying, because the Kunyang people did release them.

In this way, if the righteous master did not respond for a long time, there were only two possibilities left: either the ten fellows were all cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled for their lives regardless of their captured companions; Either that, or those ten guys were killed, and they were righteous teachers, and they were their own people.

When everyone was silent, one of them whispered: "If it is really our own hands, then it will be a dead end for us to go back, otherwise, let's escape, escape back to Yuncheng......"

Listening to him, he knew that this person was from Yuncheng.

But when I heard his words, some people immediately objected: "What about the others?" If there is no response for a long time, the group of 'black scarves' will definitely kill everyone, 500 people......"

"What's wrong with five hundred? Are there still fewer people killed in this battle? …… It's not that I won't save them, but the problem is that if we return to the righteous teacher, the righteous teacher's people will kill us instead...... Hengzhu can't save them, so it's better for us to save our lives. ”

"Saving your life? Do you think you can save your life by fleeing back to your hometown? The righteous master never shows mercy to the fugitives, even if you return to your hometown, it is a dead end. ”

"That'...... Then flee north......"

"Fleeing north? How far do you think you can escape? ”

"Not necessarily. …… Didn't Kunyang stop the righteous teacher? ”

Just as everyone was arguing, suddenly, a man in his thirties said in a deep voice: "Enough! ”

Seeing that everyone turned their heads to look at him, he said with a calm face: "Before leaving the city, you made a vow to rescue the captured brothers, and now you want to abandon them one by one, are you worthy of your conscience?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, or one person asked, "Liu Ming, what do you say?" ”

I saw that the soldier named Liu Ming thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The promise you made must be fulfilled to the death." …… But we can't die in vain, if it's really the general of the righteous division, or even the commander of the canal, wants to block the news, then we will first reveal it to the other brothers in the camp. Even if you want to run for your life, you must at least convey the words of the 'black turban thief' to the righteous master, so that you can be worthy of the brothers who chose us." ”

The twenty people discussed privately and decided that five people would go to the camp of the general Huang Kang, five people would go to the camp of the general Liu De, and Liu Ming would take the remaining ten people to the camp where his Changsha Yishi Qu Shuai Guan Shuo was.

It turned out that not everyone had the consciousness to risk their lives, and when Liu Ming and the others came to the camp where Guan Shuo was located, there were only six of them left - the remaining four secretly ran away halfway.

As Ju Sheng said, the three rebel camps outside Kunyang City were very strictly guarded against sneak attacks, and outside the camp where Guan Shuo was located, there were patrolling rebel soldiers everywhere.

When these patrol soldiers saw Liu Ming and the others, who were only dressed in single clothes, they immediately surrounded them and asked questions.

Liu Ming hurriedly identified himself: "I was a soldier under General Xu Bao before, and then I was under the command of General Liu De and General Ju Sheng......."

Seeing that Liu Ming said clearly, the patrol rebels were a little less vigilant, but they still asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" What about your armor? ”

Seeing this, Liu Ming briefly told them about their capture by Kunyang, and immediately said to the captain of the patrol rebel army: "The black turban thieves in Kunyang asked us to summon us and ask the righteous master to exchange food for more than 500 captured brothers, as well as Ju Sheng and Ju Qu generals, for which they released ten people yesterday...... Have you ever heard of it? ”

“……”

The patrol rebels shook their heads.

That's right, the ten captives released by Kunyang yesterday had just escaped back to Liu De's camp, and they were secretly executed by Liu De's order, and they had never been to Guanshuo's camp at all, so how could the rebel soldiers patrolling around this camp know about this?

After learning what had happened, the captain of the patrol nodded and said, "In that case, I will lead you into the camp to ask to see Guan Shuai." ”

So, this patrol team of soldiers brought Liu Ming and others to the camp.

The rebel soldiers guarding the camp immediately reported the matter to Guan Shuo.

At this time, Guan Shuo was discussing with Chen Miao under the grass hut about the countermeasures to attack Kunyang, hearing this, Guan Shuo angrily slapped the shabby table in front of him: "Damn Zhou Hu, use this despicable trick again and again!" ”

On the side, Chen Miao said calmly: "Although it is despicable, it is undeniably a wonderful move, if you can't gain something, I won't give up." …… What are you going to do? ”

"What else can I do?"

A trace of killing intent flashed in Guan Shuo's eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Miao frowned and said, "You are walking on thin ice. …… That Zhou Hu didn't care about those captives at all, if he could release one or two batches, he would be able to release more. He sent these captives back to let you kill, and it would be fine if you could keep blocking the news, but once the news leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. …… Rather than this, it is better to promise that Zhou Hu to exchange grain and grass for those prisoners, and if you are a hundred, you can still win the hearts of the army. ”

“…… There is no precedent. ”

Guan Shuo thought for a long time and shook his head.

In fact, he didn't see through it, the problem was that he couldn't contribute to the culture of 'exchanging food for prisoners', and once he agreed to this one, it would happen in the future.

If you agree to a prisoner exchange this time, what will you do next time? - Didn't Zhou Hu get a few prisoners that day?

The grain and grass of his Changsha army were not blown by the wind, how could he use the grain to redeem the captured soldiers again and again?

What's more, once he acquiesced to the matter of 'exchanging food for prisoners', it was tantamount to acquiescing to the surrender of his soldiers to Kunyang - as the commander of the first army, how could he allow such a thing?!

Thinking of this, he instructed his henchmen, "Go and bring those men to the camp...... Dispose of it. ”

"Yes!"

Guan Shuo's henchmen left with their fists clenched.

After a while, the guard came to the camp gate with a few soldiers, and after seeing Liu Ming and a few people, he immediately stepped forward and nodded: "I am Guan Shuai, Guan Shuai ordered me to take you into the camp, please come with me." ”

“……”

Liu Ming and the others glanced at each other, nodded and followed the guard.

Before entering the camp, he whispered to the captain of the patrol: "If you can't see me tomorrow, it must be Guan Shuai who killed us in order to block the news......

“……”

The patrol leader frowned.

After Liu Ming and Guan Shuo's guards walked away, the guard on duty asked in a low voice, "Wang Teamzheng, what's the matter?" ”

This rebel patrol team member is called Wang Gong, and he shook his head when he heard this: "...... Come back to that. ”

At the same time, Liu Ming and the others were taken to the depths of the camp by Guan Shuo's guards.

Seeing that the direction in which he and the others were moving was becoming more and more remote, Liu Ming realized something, and said in a deep voice: "Guard Yu, haven't you arrived at Guan Shuai's military tent yet?" ”

"It's coming soon." The guard, surnamed Yu, replied with a chuckle.

But Liu Ming was not fooled, and said coldly: "Guan Shuai's military tent will not be in such a remote location. ”

Hearing this, the guard surnamed Yu, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head and saw that his face, which was still smiling, became very indifferent at the moment, and said coldly: "I can't see that there is still a bit of wit." Since he is so witty, why do you want to make an internal response to Kunyang? ”

"What?" Liu Ming and the others hadn't reacted yet.

Seeing a few bangs, the soldiers around the guards surnamed Yu immediately drew their weapons, surrounded Liu Ming and the others, and slashed and killed them for a while.

Pity Liu Ming and a few people, there is no armor, where is the opponent of these soldiers, they were cut to the ground in the blink of an eye, and fell in a pool of blood.

"What's the matter?"

"What's going on over there?!"

The soldiers patrolling and on duty in the camp in the distance were alarmed, and more than a dozen soldiers ran over one after another.

The guards surnamed Yu did not panic, waiting for those soldiers to approach.

"Guards?"

The soldiers seemed to recognize the guard.

The guard surnamed Yu nodded, then pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Don't panic, I'm dealing with the traitor." …… These people on the ground, after being captured by Kunyang, have become the internal response of the opposite side, and I asked about the conspiracy and wanted to resist, so I killed them. …… It's okay, you can continue to patrol on duty. ”

“…… Be. ”

The dozen or so soldiers looked at the corpses on the ground with no armor, looked at each other, but they didn't dare to ask, and left one after another.

Seeing this, the guard surnamed Yu instructed several soldiers beside him: "Dispose of the body." ”

"Yes!"

In the evening of the same day, the patrol team named Wang Gong was returning to the camp, but was stopped by the soldiers on duty at the camp gate.

"Wang Teamzheng, the few people you brought back today are Kunyang's internal responses, and they have been executed by Guan Shuai's guards......

"What?"

Wang Gong's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of what Liu Ming said when he said goodbye to him.

He frowned and returned to his tent, a huge straw hut, and sat on his straw bunk.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a general walked into the grass hut and said in a deep voice: "Who is Wang Gong?" ”

"I am."

Wang Gong stood up.

The general walked up to Wang Gong and asked in a deep voice, "You are one of the team members in charge of patrolling outside the camp today, and you brought back the six traitors of my righteous division?" ”

"Traitor?" Wang Gong was stunned and was about to explain, but he saw the general raise his hand to interrupt him, and asked in a deep voice, "Those six people, have you ever told you?" ”

Wang Gong pretended to be confused and shook his head, and said, "They only said that they asked to see Guan Shuai, but I asked the reason, but they refused to say, so I had to take them back to the camp." ”

"Really?" The general looked Wang Gong up and down.

"Yes." Wang Gong replied solemnly.

Seeing this, the general's tense face relaxed slightly, and then nodded and said: "Those six people have surrendered to Kunyang, and they are willing to come as the messengers of Kunyang, and they are shameful traitors to my righteous teacher...... Regardless of whether they say anything to you and others, the words of this group of people are not gullible. Got it? ”

"Yes!" Wang Gong Zhengse responded.

The general nodded and left satisfied, leaving only Wang Gong and a few unknown soldiers.

Within a few days, there was a news among the rebel soldiers in the camp: Qu Shuai Guan Shuo refused to accept Kunyang's representation of 'exchanging food for prisoners', and also secretly executed the captured soldiers released by Kunyang in order to show his sincerity, and blocked the news.

At the same time, the Huang Kang military camp in Kunyang West and the Liu De military camp in Kunyang East also spread similar rumors among the soldiers.

For a time, the three camps of the Changsha Army were fluctuating.
