Chapter 100: Zhou Cang's allegiance
"Tai Shici, you can't die well...... I want to see the master. ”
Liu Ping wondered, what is Daci doing again?
Following the sound to find the past, the two maids hurriedly walked towards them, and their faces were pale with fright, and when they saw Liu Ping, they stood on the path and bowed their knees and saluted.
"What are they doing here?" Liu Ping listened to the rough voice, which seemed to be from Zhou Cang.
After Zhou Cang was arrested, he was firmly controlled by Tai Shici.
"Head of the house...... Too...... It's scary......"
The little maid pointed to an empty house in front of her, and was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Liu Ping simply didn't ask, and directly stepped forward to open the door, and the scene in front of him also startled Liu Ping.
I saw Zhou Cang lying on the ground naked, with the flesh and blood on his back blurred, muddled, and bleeding continuously.
And Tai Shici was holding his shoulders and pondering, no matter how Zhou Cang screamed and scolded, he was still dripping blood with a knife in his hand.
Damn, this is too much of a game, isn't it?
As soon as Zhou Cang saw Liu Ping coming in, he hurriedly said: "Master, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, let me do anything."
But Tai Shici didn't believe it, and he always bullied me.
Mind him, or I'll die." ”
Zhou Cang went from a rampant mountain king to a slave who was not even a human being, he couldn't fight and fight, he couldn't escape, and his life was worse than death.
Zhou Cang felt that if he continued like this, he would have to die under his hands sooner or later, and it was better to beg to surrender.
Tai Shi Ci smiled honestly at Liu Ping: "This guy used to be a bandit and harmed countless people.
If you don't teach him a lesson, how can you be worthy of so many Dongguan women who have been harmed by him?
Don't listen to him shouting for surrender, I wanted to run a few days ago, but fortunately I was clever enough to get him back again.
So I've been thinking of a way to make him never run. ”
Liu Ping figured out his thoughts, Tai Shici was right, Dongguan County was already under his own rule.
This week, Cang has done a lot of killings on his own territory, how many families have been destroyed, and his wife has been separated.
Even if you cut it with a knife, it's not too much.
It's just that if he wants to surrender, it's not impossible, after all, he is in troubled times, and he can't be required by the standards of later generations.
If it comes to killing civilians, my father-in-law is afraid that he will kill even more.
"What do you think of?" Liu Ping asked.
"Master, please see," Tai Shici proudly wiped Zhou Cang's back with a rag.
The bloody flesh was turned over, wiped with a rag, and Zhou Cang screamed in pain like killing a pig.
Wipe the fresh meat with a rag, can it not hurt?
Liu Ping felt a burst of nausea, and when he looked closely, Tai Shici actually carved a few big characters crookedly on Zhou Cang's back.
"Liu Ping's Slave"
In this era, it is the official book, and there are many thieves in the strokes, and these four words are from top to bottom, and the word "slave" has reached below the waist.
"With these words on his back, he can't rely on it even if he runs to the ends of the earth," Tai Shici scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's just that I didn't calculate it well, and the word 'Li' is not engraved anywhere, I am thinking about whether to engrave the left or right for him." ”
Liu Ping looked at Tai Shici in surprise, this guy is too creative, as long as this is engraved, no matter who Zhou Cang wants to serve in the future, I am afraid he will not be able to feel at ease.
Dare to love Tai Shi Ci has been thinking about whether the word "Li" is engraved on the left buttocks or the right buttocks.
"Don't carve, don't carve," Zhou Cang screamed: "I Zhou Cang's spit is a nail, and if I swear to serve my master, there is no reason to rebel." ”
Liu Ping somewhat believed what Zhou Cang said, after all, in the original history, after this person was loyal to Guan Yu, he heard that Guan Yu was killed in battle, so he killed himself with a knife, which shows that his loyalty is still reliable.
The people of this era pay much more attention to verbal credibility than later generations, and those who repeatedly betray are a minority after all.
So he ordered someone to give Zhou Cang medicine.
Zhou Cang's skin was rough and thick, and those wounds were only painful, but they didn't hurt the muscles and bones.
He came over again to salute Liu Ping: "Since then, I have followed the master, before and after the saddle, I will never regret it." ”
Before he was the king of the mountain, although he lived a happy life, but after all, he was a bandit, and he had to avoid the armies of the princes at all times, so what future could he have?
Since he was brought back to Yanzhou, he gradually heard about Liu Ping's status in the Cao family, so he had already had the intention of surrendering.
What's more, now that Tai Shici has engraved his name on his back, he can't serve others if he wants to.
Liu Ping nodded slightly, although Zhou Cang's force this time is not as good as Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Liao, but it can also be regarded as a fierce general.
"I've got something for you here."
"But at the master's command!"
"Go and bring me a girl." Liu Ping said with a slight smile.
Zhou Cang: "??? ”
Is this a way to get yourself back to your old job?
"Which girl does the master have a crush on?" Zhou Cang patted his chest and said, "Tell me Lao Zhou, I'm doing this."
Whether it's sweat medicine or stuffy sticks, no matter how difficult the girl is, you can get it. ”
"What do you think?" Liu Ping looked at Zhou Cang, who was eager to try, and dared to love this guy as a robber and became addicted.
"I asked you to go to Pengcheng to help a girl, she is the daughter of Lu Bu, her name is Lu Qi.
Remember, make sure you bring her back unscathed. ”
……
Three days later, Liu Ping received an order for the army to go on an expedition.
Liu Ping immediately rushed to the barracks to see Cao Ren and found that this uncle had a sleepy face and his eyes were blood-red.
I haven't slept well in the past few days.
At the same time, Liu Ping also found an unknown person, who was introduced by Cao Ren and found out that it was Xi Zhicai.
"Ping'er, the drama sacrifice wine god is clever, two days ago, Guan Yu really led 10,000 troops and horses to leave Pengcheng, and went to Dongguan County, at this time there are only 10,000 troops and horses commanded by Zhang Fei in the city, it is a good time for us to capture the city.
I will immediately lead the army to the battle, and the grain and grass will be completely handed over to you. ”
Liu Ping arched his hand and said: "Uncle, don't worry!" ”
Xi Zhicai interjected next to him: "Ping Gongzi must not be careless, although the grain and grass are behind the army, you need to guard against one person."
That is Zang Ba who is stationed in Kaiyang.
This person was subordinate to Tao Qian before, and was worshiped as a cavalry captain, and his generals Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, etc., were all brave people, with more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Zang Ba is subordinate to Xuzhou, but he is self-contained, belonging to the small princes of Xuzhou, the big princes.
But after all, he belongs to a part of Xuzhou, and if Liu Bei lures him with interests, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not obey Liu Bei's dispatch.
For Liu Bei, the simplest and most effective way to force Cao's army to retreat was naturally to cut off the grain road.
Since there is this possibility, Xi Zhicai, as a strategist, of course has to bring up the crisis.
Liu Ping smiled nonchalantly and said: "Little Zangba, don't be afraid, if he dares to come, I will let him come and not return." ”
"Ping'er, don't talk big," Cao Ren said with a calm face: "You don't have a powerful general, and the combat strength of the army is poor, although the three thousand men and horses belonging to Le Jin are transferred to your command, but if Zang Ba comes to attack, it will be difficult for you to deal with it." ”
"Uncle, don't worry about attacking the city," Liu Ping said with a smile: "Give me the weight of grain and grass, and it will be foolproof." ”
Cao Ren's siege of the city was already insufficient, and Liu Ping naturally could no longer let him divide his troops to protect the grain route.
At this time, Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows: "Can Prince Ping dare to make a military order?" ”
