Chapter Fifty-Four: Military Power is Like Life
Seeing that the destination had arrived, but seeing the Han soldiers waiting on the city tower, Xu Kang understood that if he dared to move forward again, then what was waiting for him would be a large rain of arrows.
After all, in the eyes of the other party, he is now a yellow scarf.
And he will not do such a thing as rashly stepping forward to reveal his identity, after all, the situation of the Han army is so grim now, and he will not trust others if he changes his main general.
"Ma Dan, it's obviously Lao Tzu's place, but now I can't even go back to myself, what the hell is this, alas...... It seems that we can only think in the long run! ”
Thinking of this, he immediately asked Zhao Hong and others to pass on the order, and let everyone retreat three miles to set up camp, and distance themselves from other Yellow Turban troops in Changshe County.
When night fell, a new camp was set up, and the soldiers began to light a fire and cook, and they were busy with it.
Xu Kang, on the other hand, got into his tent and began to think about how to meet Lu Zhi.
For him, it is not difficult to see Lu Zhi, the wall of more than ten meters high can block Zhang Jiao and the yellow scarf, but it can't stop him.
What he thought about was how to meet Lu Zhi in order to gain the recognition of the other party, and then lie down and win peacefully, which was the key to this trip.
The easiest way is to meet and take out the official seal, as long as his identity and the big seal of the Changshe County Order shine in front of Lu Zhi, he can't help but deny it!
When the time comes, he will take people to maintain order in the county, cheer everyone up, and when the war is won, he will naturally have his own credit, and then he will manage it well in the future, and it will not be a big problem to mix into a generation of celebrities.
Maybe in just a few years, the people will make up their names into ballads, and then sing them all over the world, and then their reputation as "Xu Jun" will also spread all over the world.
It's delicious when you think about it!
But this has a disadvantage, that is, you have to hand over the military power to the other party.
Now is the time when the Yellow Turbans are fierce, in order to resist the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has asked the states and counties to recruit their own soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to giving the majority of local officials the power to recruit troops and horses!
In the future, those princes who supported their own troops and respected themselves actually began to rise during this period.
Originally, Xu Kang didn't think about it so much, but now looking at the 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, he suddenly realized that if he wanted to let him hand over this hard-won corps to others, would he be willing?
Of course not!
In this troubled world, soldiers are the lives of generals, and without soldiers, it is equivalent to becoming meat on someone else's chopping board, and you can chop it as you want!
Is he, Xu Kang, the kind of person who would put his fate in the hands of others?
Are you kidding!
If that were the case, he would not have thrown millions of money into the West Garden to buy officials, would not have traveled long distances to support the Changshe, and would not have sweated to lead the soldiers and the Yellow Turbans to fight hard!
Didn't he just want to take his fate into his own hands?
Do you want him to hand over his military power?
Dream!
Thinking of this, a hint of fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Everything else is easy to say, but I absolutely can't hand over this military power, whoever wants Lao Tzu's soldiers, Lao Tzu will want someone's life!"
After having an idea in his heart, Xu Kang's whole person became extremely calm, his mind was empty, and his originally chaotic thoughts were instantly cleared.
He immediately lifted the curtain and ordered the soldiers who were guarding the tent.
"Go tell Zhao Hong or Zhang Cheng and ask them to bring Peng Tuo over!"
"Yes, General!"
The soldier said yes and trotted away, and soon, Zhao Hong and Zhang Chengcheng took Peng Tuo to Xu Kang's camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, Peng Tuo smiled happily at Xu Kang.
"Hehe, is the little general going to let me go? Hey, hey, hey...... I knew that the little general was really a believer, but I didn't know what the little general promised me......"
"Haha, Peng Tuoqu Shuai doesn't need to worry, my words naturally count!"
Xu Kang smiled and hugged his shoulders affectionately.
"I said at the beginning that as long as I see Lu Zhi or Lord Huangfu Song, I will let you go, but now I have encountered a little trouble, and I can't go to see Lord Lu Zhi and them for the time being, so I still need Peng Tuoqu Shuai to help, and I hope you don't shirk it!"
"Hey, that's nature!" Hearing Xu Kang's words, Peng Tuo nodded without thinking about it, "The little general said that it doesn't matter, as long as something can be done, he will never shirk it!" ”
"Haha, Peng Tuoqu is really refreshing, then I'm welcome!"
Speaking of this, Xu Kang immediately put away his smile, instantly drew his sword out of its sheath, and then raised his hand and fell!
"Borrow your head for a while!"
"Poof......
As his words fell, Peng's blood instantly spurted out of his neck like a fountain, staining the side of the tent bright red.
After about three or four seconds, Peng Tuo's headless body fell to the ground with a "pop".
And this voice also brought Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng back to their senses.
"Your ......, my lord"
The two seemed to want to say something, but before they could finish speaking, Xu Kang, who had just put his sword into the sheath, raised his hand towards them.
"Okay, let's talk about it when you come back, I'll go change my clothes first, you clean up here, and then wrap Peng's head for me, I'm going to take him to see Lord Lu Zhi."
After speaking, he turned around and left the big tent, then took out his black official uniform and official boots from the space backpack, found a place where no one was and quickly changed them, and then returned to the big tent again.
At this time, Peng's body in the tent was gone, and several soldiers were covering the blood stains on the ground with dry soil, and when they saw him coming in, they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted him.
"General!"
"Hmm!" Xu Kang nodded, then turned his head to look at Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng, "Where's the thing?" ”
"Here!"
Zhao Hong agreed, then handed over the burden containing Peng's head, and said at the same time: "My lord, why don't you let the last general go with you!" ”
"No need!"
Xu Kang took the burden in his hand and waved his hand at him with a smile.
"I'm just going to see someone, it's not a big deal, I'll just go alone, and you're such a big person, I can't take you?"
"Huh? Can't take it? Hearing this, Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng immediately showed puzzled looks, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”
"Hehe......"
Xu Kang smiled again, but didn't explain anything, but directly carried the package containing Peng's head and turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng immediately glanced at each other, and then hurriedly walked out.
However, as soon as they walked out of the tent, they felt a gust of wind blowing, blowing and causing them to close their eyes.
When the wind dissipated, the two found that Xu Kang was no longer in front of them.
At the same time, a high-pitched and loud eagle's cry was heard in the sky.
"Tweet ......"
