Chapter 187: Gong Ao
In the empty streets of Liyang City, hundreds of people came, dozens of soldiers under the command of the hundred generals in front, and Xu Yang walked behind with thirty cronies holding Man hostage.
The choices that everyone makes in various situations are always driven by a reason in their hearts.
Fear of death, this is the driving force that prompted Xu Yang to make these crazy behaviors, the fear of dying in a foreign country outweighs the danger of being liquidated by Qin Lu when things are exposed. All the wisdom of this person is used to think about how to escape, and he wants to leave death far behind and let others bear it for him.
Therefore, Xu Yang was very cautious, they walked very slowly, very carefully, almost every lane, Xu Yang would let people go over and take a look, until two hundred steps away from the small courtyard where Li You was placed, a single Qin army commander appeared in front of them......
โฆโฆ
Gong Ao appeared at the other end of the street, holding a bamboo tube high in his hand, and walked towards everyone.
When he saw the hundreds of people in front of him, Gong Ao knew that he had been taken into a big pit by Lixian.
Gong Ao is the qiรณng sieve that Lixian uses for gambling, and it is completely up to him to decide what he can throw.
But even if he threw a bad face, he was useful, not only to delay time so that reinforcements from the city wall could arrive, but also to charge Xu Yang with disobedience and rebellion, intimidate those soldiers who rebelled with him to defect, and finally unite everyone in the city to kill them together to minimize the chaos in the city.
But in this way, Gongao is likely to become a victim.
At this moment, Gong Ao had a trace of regret, but he had no intention of retreating, he still walked forward in a daze, making the person opposite stop because of his appearance.
Gong Ao was born in Yan County, Nan County, and lived with his grandfather since he was a child. So since he was a child, Gongao has had more hatred for the Qin State from the memory of his ancestors, and he doesn't even recognize his Qin people, even if he enters the system and becomes a small official under the influence of his uncle, he is still resentful.
Until he was forced to join the Qin army and work under Heifu.
During this period, he was accidentally rescued by Heifu, owed him two lives, and gradually became familiar with the life of the barracks and became part of this army.
During this period, he saw the collapse of Daliang City.
This brought a huge shock to Gongao, whose family's tragedy had been staged in the Wei State many years ago, and soon it was the turn of the Chu State.
After entering the Chu State, Gongao found that he didn't like this country at all, the nobles here were not as noble as he imagined, and the life of the people here was not as comfortable as he imagined.
He was angry with Qin, but he didn't like Chu, which was probably the identity of many Nanjun people.
A month earlier, when he was confused about the matter, Heifu pointed him out.
"Forget about the Qin State and the Chu State, forget your country, just remember that what you do is related to the rise and fall of the clan, as well as your own life and future, this is enough."
Heifu's words reassured Gong Ao a lot, and at the same time added a sentence to this paragraph privately.
"It's also to pay off the favors you owe."
When the Qin army suffered an unprecedented defeat a few days ago, Gong Ao was also shaken and began to wonder if the Qin State was no longer good? But then Hefu spoke to him again.
"This battle is not decided by one or two victories or defeats, for the Chu State, if you don't want to destroy the country, you have to win every time!"
"The Qin State is different, the Qin State has accumulated six afterglows, a hundred years of momentum, and is qualified to defeat once, twice, and three times, as long as it finally overwhelms the Chu State, it can win the victory."
"Don't think about it now, before you do something, you have to think more about the clans that are still in the southern county of Qin State, and you must not affect them."
Gong Ao obeyed, although he also listened to Heifu's words in the past, he always felt that Heifu was just following the rules in the Qin army, and there was no outrageous behavior, and he was completely different from himself.
Young people who have not grown up always feel that they are different, and the world revolves around them.
But this time, after leaving behind the phrase "don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger", Heifu resolutely went out of the city to deceive and surrender, which is a very high-risk mission, if it doesn't work, he will definitely be separated.
For a while, looking at Heifu's back, Gongao seemed to see a heroic image mixed in the system, and he was even more stunned to find that what he had always wanted to be was a person like Heifu:
Never shouting empty slogans, only inspiring everyone with family and robes, following the rules on weekdays, but there are heroic deeds at critical moments.
In addition to admiration, I was also a little unconvinced!
"You can do it, why can't I?"
After the childishness in his heart came up, he didn't feel strange that he made any moves.
"Who's coming?"
Xu Yang's cronies were far away, so he stopped and asked cautiously.
"It was sent by Captain Li to give an order to Lord Xu Bai!"
"The Lieutenant has an order?"
Xu Yang was stunned when he heard this, didn't Li You faint due to his injury, why did he give himself an order again?
At this time, Gong Ao had already walked in front of the soldiers, and he strode forward with a bamboo tube, not at all pretending to be humble when the black man surrendered, but as usual, he was arrogant, as if he was really the person sent by Li You to give the order.
He also boldly rebuked the group: "Why are you here when you are not guarding the city wall? โ
"Our ......" The cronies in front of him looked back at Xu Yang with some embarrassment, and finally found an excuse: "We are waiting for a change of guard!" โ
"It turned out to be a change of guard." Gong Ao smiled: "That's the case, Captain Du woke up, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to see General Xu Bai, this is a military order!" โ
Xu Yang was a little flustered in his heart, if Li You really came to his senses, then everything he was doing now would be self-defeating!
But although he was flustered, his reason was not messed up, and he pointed at Gong Ao and said, "Hand it over!" โ
"The military order of the lieutenant can only be received by the hundred generals in person."
Gong Ao took the bamboo tube back in front of him, and his face was dissatisfied: "Could it be that General Bai doesn't even know this?" You won't get out of the way! Get out of the way! โ
Xu Yang's face was a little cloudy, Heifu not only took away the command, but also took away his qualification to send people to protect the wings, which was equivalent to robbing him of his eyes, ears, and the way to rise, and now the little chief under Heifu dared to be so arrogant.
But he was more interested in the contents of the bamboo tube, so he could only endure it and let him come.
Xu Yang took the bamboo tube suspiciously, this is the rule of the Qin army's order, in order not to let others see the order, even if it is a simple sentence, it must be sealed.
Inside the bamboo tube was a wooden tablet, with a simple command written on it, so that Xu Yang could come quickly, but it was not Li You's handwriting......
Suspicion arose, but the little chief who gave the order in front of him smiled calmly: "The lieutenant is weak and can't write, so let someone next to him write it." โ
Xu Yang lowered his head again and looked at this order, the private seal on it was indeed true, but he was still uneasy in his heart, according to the state when he went to visit before, how could Li You wake up so quickly?
If Li Youzhen wakes up, then all his previous plans will be completely destroyed!
What to do? What to do?
It was obviously a cold winter, but Xu Yang was sweating profusely, he felt as if he was too smart, and finally forced himself into a dead end.
"General Xu, come with me, Captain Li seems to be in a hurry, and he must see you before he can say it." Gong Ao urged casually.
"I'll go ...... now" But Xu Yang took a step, but suddenly sobered up.
Can't go! It's full of Heifu's men, go by yourself, isn't it sent to death? Besides, this person in front of him is also a cronie of Heifu! This could be a trap!
He hesitated there, but Gong Ao didn't hesitate, he pulled out his sword suddenly, slammed forward, and stabbed at Xu Yang!
The incident happened suddenly, Xu Yang didn't have time to dodge, but fortunately, one of his cronies hurriedly pounced and hit Gong Ao hard, causing his sword to stab off, only cutting a big hole in Xu Yang's clothes!
Xu Yang sat on the ground in horror, and before he could dodge, he threw out another dagger from Gong Ao's hand, but unfortunately the angle and strength were a little worse after all, and he only stabbed Xu Yang's shoulder, although it bleed, it was not fatal.
And Gong Ao has been surrounded by several heavily armed Xu Yang's men, the sword was out of his hand after stabbing one person to death, and he also received a spear on his back, and the blood did not stop!
Gong Ao, who had no weapons, sighed regretfully, he still missed, and in the current situation, he was afraid that he would definitely die.
"I still haven't been able to make it, I knew that I would practice sword throwing with Dongmen Leopard more...... No matter what, if I can exchange the death of one person for the success of the black man, I can also pay off the favor that Huang owes him outside! โ
However, just when Gong Ao was about to be stabbed by everyone, Man on the side suddenly snatched the blade of Xu Yang's cronies who were stunned on the side and blocked a blow for Gong Ao!
"Full!"
Xu Yang was furious: "What are you doing? โ
"Xu Baijiang is afraid that I have forgotten, I am also from Nanjun! His subordinates are all Nanjun soldiers! I'd rather fight to the death with the black man than do such a ridiculous thing with you!" โ
Suddenly, Man and Gongao leaned together, and shouted to the subordinates in front of him, who still didn't know what they were going to do: "Xu Yang rebelled, imprisoned Zhai and slaughtered two hundred generals, and wanted to kidnap the captain, left his soldiers and fled, and also kidnapped me. โ
"Nonsense, it's Heifu who descends to Chu, and I'm going to rescue Du Wei......"
Xu Yang hurriedly shouted, and ordered his cronies: "Kill Man, kill this chief!" โ
Xu Yang's subordinates were also close associates who had been with him for a long time, and he promised them that as long as they did this, they would be able to return home safely without fighting to the death, and everyone believed it at first. But at this time, in the face of the defection of dozens of people in front of him, even Xu Yang's cronies hesitated.
Ignoring the consequences of being ordered to severely punish himself and his family, can he really succeed in following Xu Yang to do this kind of thing?
Gong Ao also said that Li You has woken up! It's a failure!
At this moment of hesitation, an arrow flew in the distance, shooting Xu Yang, who was shouting loudly, to the ground, and the arrow hit his head, and he didn't see it alive!
Xiao Tao appeared on the roof, he opened his bow again, aiming at the people present, and a lot of armored Qin soldiers also rushed out of the lilu, shouting and rushing over, it was Ji Ying who went to the city wall to find the person arrived!
And Lixian, who had been in ambush in the rear for a long time, had already rushed out with a team of people, and at this moment, he had come to the front, but surrounded Xu Yang's subordinates, and pointed at them with spears!
"Xu Yang rebelled and wanted to abandon the army and flee, but now he has been subdued, and if there is a helper, he will be guilty of the same crime!"
โฆโฆ
Little did Heifu know that when he was not in the city, a civil strife that could lead to the collapse of the entire plan was wiped out by his capable men. Because it ended too quickly, the Chu army outside the city didn't hear any movement at all......
It wasn't until Heifu returned to the city that he found that it was not only his subordinates who were full of smugness that welcomed him, but also Xu Yang's huge head......
