Chapter 263: Lucky Ones
If Gongsun Chan was just a copycat leader, everyone would never have any complaints.
Because two hundred taels of silver is really not a small amount for a cottage, it is not easy to make up this number.
But the fact is that Gongsun Chan is not a cottage leader, he is a dignified northern hero, in charge of all the cities in Youzhou!
Even during the war, it is impossible to only have two hundred taels of silver, and the other party is obviously perfunctory.
Therefore, after hearing it, everyone in the audience was not only difficult to accept, but also very angry, and had a feeling of being fooled.
But even so, there are still a small number of people who have not given up hope.
Although there is only a ransom of two hundred taels, if it is calculated according to one person and one tael, it can save 200 people!
Maybe Lady Luck will fall on your head?
So it didn't take long for someone in the audience to shout:
"Guan Changshi, have you decided who to ransom? Is it according to military age? Or according to official positions? ”
"Yes, it's just two hundred, how do you divide it? If you want me to say...... It should be arranged according to official positions. Priority to redeem the sergeant major, they are definitely worth more. A centurion in a military uniform said.
"That's not right!"
But soon, it was denied by an old man with gray sideburns:
"Since ancient times, it has been the elders who have been respected! I said it should be ranked by age. ”
"Well, I'm also in favor of sorting by age, but I think ...... The young people should be saved first! When it comes to fighting, they're the main force, right? ”
Seeing that everyone in the audience has become a mess for these two hundred places, if they continue to argue like this, they must fight again!
In order to avoid this scene from happening, Hua Xing immediately stepped forward and urged the silent Guan Jing loudly:
"Guan Changshi, what exactly are you going to do, please tell me quickly! Can't you see that everyone is anxious? ”
At the urging of both sides, Guan Jing let out a long sigh.
Although it was a little difficult to speak, in the end, with a face full of apologies and helplessness, Gongsun Zhan's decision was revealed:
"Ahem, according to the lord's will, these two hundred taels of silver are used for, used for...... Redeem the two generals of Guan and Zhang, so ...... Alas! I hope you will forgive me! ”
After saying that, Guan Jing bowed deeply to everyone in the audience.
After that, I don't know if I was ashamed to face everyone, or I was worried that I would be scolded if I stayed, and after stuffing the ransom of two hundred taels to Huaxing, Guan Jing took Guan and Zhang and left the prison in a hurry, and walked out of the village without looking back.
……
Leaving Luoyuan Village, Guan Jing and his party of five rode north.
But instead of going hand in hand, they split into two groups, one in front and one behind.
Guan Jing and the two soldiers were at the front, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were at the end of the line.
As the "lucky ones" who were redeemed by the lord, Guan and Zhang should be happy.
But the truth was the opposite, and the faces of the two of them were not only not happy, but even a little sad.
Obviously, the two of them were not satisfied with the lord's decision.
"Second brother! I know I shouldn't speak ill of my lord behind my back, but, but, but...... The lord's approach is really uninteresting! How could he bear to leave all those soldiers in the enemy camp? ”
Zhang Fei, who held back all the way, would not be able to hold back the injustice in his heart after all, and with a face of resentment, he expressed his inner dissatisfaction with Guan Yu:
"If this were a big brother, he would never be so ruthless! Even if he was bankrupt, he would not be able to give up these soldiers! ”
Guan Yu actually has the same opinion as Zhang Fei, and he also thinks that Gongsun Zhan's move is not very righteous.
But in comparison, Guan Yu would definitely be more rational, and soon listened to him sigh and replied:
"Alas! The matter has come to this point, let's talk about it too much, this matter is ...... Just let it pass. By the way, you can just say this kind of thing in front of me, and after you go back, you don't dare to talk in front of the lord, do you hear it? ”
"Humph! He can do it, why not let people say it? ”
After replying with a hard mouth, I heard Zhang Fei suddenly sigh again: "Alas! It would be nice if the eldest brother hadn't died......"
Guan Yu originally wanted to nag a few more words, but when he heard Zhang Fei say this, there were bursts of sourness in his heart.
After a sigh, he finally closed his mouth and walked forward silently.
"By the way, second brother, I still have something I want to ask you."
About half a minute later, I heard Zhang Fei ask again:
"You said that after we leave, will the surnamed Hua really kill those soldiers?"
After hearing Zhang Fei's question, Guan Yu first frowned and thought for a moment, and only after an interval of six or seven seconds did he hear him shake his head and reply:
"In my opinion, he probably wouldn't have killed a soldier."
"But the Nahua Demon Boss made it very clear before, as long as he refuses to surrender, he will kill them all! Could it be that he deliberately scared people? Zhang Fei said with a puzzled expression.
"Well, he's probably just bluffing!" Guan Yu nodded while analyzing:
"Think about it, if he really wanted to kill the captives, why did he spend so much energy trying to save our soldiers in the first place? This is inconsistent. In addition, I have heard that shortly after the end of the battle, he held a funeral for the dead soldiers. From this alone, it is not difficult to see that this person is not a cruel and unrighteous person. Therefore, I believe that he is just saying that, and he will not really attack the soldiers! ”
Hearing Guan Yu say this, the worry on Zhang Fei's face finally receded mostly:
"Oh, that's good! Alas, if they were to be put to death, I would have to die in my heart. Ay? By the way, what will he do with that white-faced protector? ”
Although Zhang Fei didn't like the white-faced protector very much, he was also a brother in the camp.
Thinking that this person was still in the enemy camp, Zhang Fei was still a little worried.
"It's hard to say! After we leave, Zhao Hujun is the supreme commander of the army, and his attitude is very important...... Alas! Let's hope he can save the day. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yu's eyes couldn't help but cross a little worry.
……
After Guan Jing and the others left, Huaxing did not deal with the prisoners of war as soon as possible, but ordered someone to invite Zhao Hujun to the command room.
As the saying goes, shooting a man first shoots a horse, and it is said that the thief captures the king first.
Before starting the recruitment work, he wanted to have a good talk with the other party's commander.
On the battlefield before, Hua Xing had fought against this Zhao Hujun.
At that time, Zhao Hujun left a very deep impression on Huaxing.
This person is not only strong in martial arts and energetic, but also full of vitality and unstoppable courage.
