Chapter 90: Do You Want to Betray the Great Sage and Teacher?
If you don't leave, you can't go, if you stay for a second longer, you may get a few more whips, which is not cost-effective.
Liu Bei thought to himself, it would be better to take Gong Jing with him earlier, take over the county seat of Linzi, and then go to the banquet of the county guard's mansion, even if he is whipped, he can still eat and drink and make up for it.
As soon as Gong Jing, Liu Bei and the others left, Cheng Yuanzhi sat quietly on his war horse, waiting for Guan Hai to find him.
Cheng Yuanzhi knew that things were far from perfect now, and there were still 300,000 Yellow Turban troops outside Linzi City, which was a headache.
If Guan Hai is unwilling to be included in Cheng Yuanzhi's command, then the problem is heavenly. The siege of Qingzhou has not been solved in essence.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Guan Hai to come over.
As soon as they met, Guan Hai looked puzzled and puzzled, and asked:
"Silly dog, why did this gate open? But there are ambushes in the city? In addition, I came from afar just now, and it seems that I saw Linzi Taishou Gong Jing, and he also took away some of your soldiers and horses, what is going on? ”
Guan Hai was very confused, Linzi City, which had been surrounded for so many days, was like a stubborn stone that could not be transformed into an ancient one, how could Cheng Yuanzhi come, the situation changed, and in less than half a pillar of incense, the east gate actually took the initiative to open.
Sincerely, the gold and stone are open. Guan Hai definitely doesn't believe this kind of statement, there must be something greasy, and there must be some truth that Guan Hai doesn't know. The strong curiosity forced Guan Hai to come to Cheng Yuanzhi to ask for clarification.
Cheng Yuanzhi and Gong Jing's shouting before, Guan Hai heard it, but Cheng Yuanzhi was talking nonsense and deceiving Gong Jing.
State pastoral? Guan Hai has never heard of this official position, isn't the biggest official position in the state and county the history of assassination? Cheng Yuanzhi is not a decent editor, it is better to say that he is a son of heaven.
As for the letter for help, there were not 100 intercepted by Guan Hai at the beginning, but 80. Guan Hai also threw these letters for help back to Gong Jing, and not only threw one back, but he didn't see Gong Jing immediately go down to the city and open the city gate to welcome Guan Hai into the city.
There must be an ulterior deal in this!
Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Guan Hai and knew that between him and Guan Hai, whether to continue to be brothers and comrades, or to turn against each other, it was all about the upcoming conversation.
"Zhu Hai, you read that right, the old man just now was Gong Jing, the Taishou of Qingzhou, he opened the city gate and surrendered. I have asked my generals to lead their troops into the city in advance to guard all important places in Linzi. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yuanzhi stopped and kept silent.
Guan Hai was overjoyed, although it was not the Linzi County City that he had captured with his own hands, but the city gate was opened, indicating that the entire territory of Qingzhou had been taken by the Yellow Turban Army, and he couldn't help laughing:
"Okay, you dog, when did you become so powerful, you can persuade the enemy to surrender in front of the battle in just a few words, even I began to admire you. Hehe, Linzi, Qingzhou is the territory of our Yellow Turban Army, comfortable. Thanks, dog, when the army enters the city, please drink wine and eat meat. ”
Without further ado, Guan Hai was going to return to the army and let the Yellow Turban army under his command enter Linzi County from the east gate. Guan Hai didn't dare to drag it out any longer, and within three days, the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army would be in an emergency.
It's not impossible to really let the Yellow Turban army enter the city, but the matter must be explained in advance, otherwise there will still be a big mess when you enter the city.
Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly stopped Guan Hai and shouted:
"Wait! Zhu Hai, listen to me, Linzi was surrendered, and Gong Jing, the Taishou guard, took the initiative to open the city gate and surrendered, but not to the Yellow Turban Army, but to the Han Army. Qingzhou is still the Qingzhou of the Han Dynasty. You can lead a large army into the city, but from now on, the soldiers and horses under your command can no longer be called the Yellow Turban Army, but must be changed to the Han Turban Army. ”
"After entering the city, although your soldiers and horses belong to my name, I will not move a single soldier, and you will still be in charge. What do you think, Ino? ”
At this time, this is not the time to laugh and laugh, some things have to be said in advance, otherwise when you enter the city, the nature will change.
The east gate is opened, whether it is Gong Jing or Guan Hai, only if it is surrendered to Cheng Yuanzhi, then he can enter and exit at will, if not, why should Cheng Yuanzhi give people cheap?
For the sake of the past, the 300,000 Yellow Turban army that put Guan Hai into the city? Just kidding, don't say that Cheng Yuanzhi can't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses, and once he enters the city, it is not easy to control, rather than turmoil in the city, it is better to block it outside the city.
Hearing this, Guan Hai's face instantly darkened, and he asked in a cold tone:
"No longer calling themselves the Yellow Turban Army? Do you want to betray the great sages and good teachers and serve the corrupt Han family? The Han family is already rotten to the roots, and the reason why I Guan Hai joined the Taiping Heavenly Dao is precisely because of the Han family's harsh donations and miscellaneous labor, and my life can't go on. ”
"Now that my Yellow Turban Army has done something, and it has improved a little, you have to change your banner and change your court to help the abuse? It is difficult to obey the fate. If you ignore the life and death of the 300,000 Yellow Turban army outside the city, don't think about the kindness of the great sage and good teacher, and don't remember the love of you and my brother, then your subordinates will see the truth. Surrender for Han dogs, absolutely not. ”
When Cheng Yuanzhi heard this, he was a little embarrassed, Guan Hai used to call Cheng Yuanzhi a stupid dog, a dog or something, but now he has really become a big man's dog.
The Han family is bald, the eunuchs are in charge, the world is in chaos, and the people are not happy. Cheng Yuanzhi knows all this.
Cheng Yuanzhi has been a Yellow Turban and a Qu Shuai, and he can better understand the real life of the people at the bottom of the Han Dynasty, but this is not a question of choosing one of the two between the Han and the Yellow Turban.
Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Guan Hai's tone was too impulsive, and his attitude was not good, and he was immediately angry, and he exploded with a sword, and shouted irritably:
"Guan Hai, the person who joked about the lives of 300,000 people outside the city is you, not me. Why did we come? It's just asking for the people's lives, and there is only one purpose, that is, to let the people live a good life, but you hold on to the door? ”
"I didn't betray the great sages and good teachers, nor did I rebel against the great men, I just wanted to find a way to live for the people. There are many problems in the Han Dynasty, and they are rotten to the roots, which is obvious to all, but there are still many places in the Han that are worth supporting. In the past, the great sages and good teachers saved people, treated diseases and donated medicines, and did great good deeds, so I Cheng Yuanzhi followed. ”
"But now, tell me yourself, is this still the Yellow Turban army under the leadership of our previous Taiping Heavenly Dao? A good field, if it is not planted, let it be wasted; A good mountain forest, no matter what, let it be overgrown with weeds. And the people are following the Yellow Turban Army, what are they doing? Starving outside Linzi City, have you ever thought about it? ”
"Zhu Hai, no matter what big men and yellow scarves, we are not scholars, and we don't understand the tall ones. If you really listen to my advice, then join my brothers, we don't talk too much about rules and regulations, as long as we are good to the people, there is meat to eat, and there is wine to drink, not to mention hanging the banner of the Han army, or wearing a yellow scarf, no problem, just ask for a truth. ”
