In the chaotic Chaoyang City, there are faint fights and battles, as well as the screams of execution, which are still endless.

Standing on the tower of the city gate and controlling all this, the main messenger deputy general Ding Hui, but he no longer has the original self-confidence and calmness and can hardly hide his anxiety; For as events unfolded, he found that his influence and control over the Fury Camp was not as perfect and easy as he had expected; And now it is the fourth day of the incident, and there are still opponents in the city who continue to resist the new forces he represents.

"Lao Ding, you did this badly, and it was too embarrassing."

And beside him, the leading general, who is now one of the biggest helpers and foreign aids, is also unceremoniously mocking his injuries.

"The Lord has abolished all these troubles and strengths to nurture you."

"What I want is a furious wind battalion that can fight well and is generally intact,"

"It's not a camp full of feuds and strife, and eventually tends to be torn apart and disheartened."

"It's really a waste of our opportunity and back hand to fight for you."

"You didn't swear by it."

The other voice is also the interface channel.

"As long as the purple face is not there, and there is no false monk to add chaos, can you quickly grasp the situation?"

"It's been the first few days, and my men and horses are also very expensive."

"And you have to cut off the road again."

"You can't spend it here in vain."

"It's come to this, only give me some more time and a helping hand."

Ding Hui also said unceremoniously.

"Why don't you want to please the Lord once you have lost all your efforts?"

"It's not like I'm not alone."

"That's fine."

The first general stomped his foot hatefully.

"I'll give you a little more energy."

"But when the benefits are copied out, I want to take another percent."

"It's not going to work."

Ding Hui shook his head without hesitation.

"This is a treasure on a large tribute ship."

"Half of them are destined to be handed over to the military government and the Yellow King, and no one can mess with their minds."

"The rest is also a free arrangement and a place to go, at most you can copy a handful in the city."

"Jokes."

The other person is the interface

"If things don't work out here, everything will have to be done."

"Just ask a question, do you succeed or not."

"It's a big deal, this is divided equally between the three of us in private."

Ding Hui exhaled heavily and barely bowed his head, and saw the other party blow a sharp whistle with his hand on his mouth, and then the flags on the head of the city shook one after another; Under the city wall, several groups of men and horses rushed out, and they rushed towards the city in a fierce manner.

And at the northeast corner of the other end of the city, in the camp where the baggage was stored; Around the defensive line of the camp formed by the layers of vehicles and furniture, the offensive and defensive battles of back and forth continued intermittently. And between these fortifications and obstacles, layers after layers of corpses of all kinds have been scattered,

Zhao Yinggong, the cavalry general of the former official army, also grabbed a long knife and survived in the middle; It's just that he still has a ridiculous delusion, and he didn't expect that he would also have a day of helping and abusing from thieves, but the difference is that this time he is on the side of the grass thieves who are more familiar with him every day, and he camps against other grass thieves who seem to be very strange.

Although he tried to hide his identity after the defeat of the officers and soldiers and was captured, he was only treated as an ordinary soldier; But it didn't take long for those grass thieves to see it, and coercion and temptation to teach their military experience and experience, the way of the army that they already knew.

only revealed his identity, but it was actually Officer Zhao who also survived but was seriously injured; In order to get a chance to survive with treatment, instead of letting those grass thieves make up for him, he simply broke the jar and played the role of a traitor who was corrected and exposed among the captives.

It's just that after the fact, it was a pity that among the prisoners and corpses, there was no name of Zhao Ziri, the former owner of the Zhao family, and it seemed that he was likely to run away with the tooth general.

Then, for the first time, he also saw with his own eyes that hundreds of officers and soldiers had invited themselves to join the ceremony and scene of the grass thieves anyway; In order to swear to break with their past identities, these former officers and soldiers even cut off their knotted hair under the leadership of Zhong Yi of the Fujian Military Academy, leaving only the flat and short hair ends like the thief's head to clear their minds.

But what surprised and shocked him was that those grass thieves finally let these former officers and soldiers join the gang and surrender their names; It was actually to gather the families of more than 20 captured officers and soldiers, let these former soldiers expose their evil deeds and sins one by one, and then force each of them to go forward and cut their flesh and bleed to death one by one, so as to cut off their ties with their past identities.

Some people howled and cried, some people were afraid, some begged bitterly, some tried to resist, and some simply tried to deal with things, but under the threat and persecution of their lives, in the end, they could not escape this cruel selection process; In the end, only a few people, including him, were spared and even treated for his injuries because their crimes were not obvious, and there were only some cases of beating and scolding to drive the soldiers; But this can be said to be particularly vicious.

Even Zhao Yinggong, who is known as well-informed in the army, has experienced this process before and after, and he can't help but sweat and chill all over his body; However, there were many more things that surprised him even more;

For example, the grass thief who was in charge of supervising them was not at all like the beast cannibalism or vulgar and unwritten as claimed in the imperial court's documents, nor did it have the various miserable conditions that most of the grass thieves usually saw in the rumors after gaining power, and the poisonous and wreaking havoc in the place; In fact, they acted in a disciplined and targeted manner, only targeting the notoriously wealthy families, and were harmless to most of the small people, and even had much more unhindered communication.

It can be said that in the daily behavior and conduct, in addition to their banners and uniforms, they are more like the roads of the officials and soldiers than most of the court officials and soldiers he has seen; In other words, it is more constitutional (formalized) and organized (rigorously organized) without losing the decisiveness and decisiveness of the prohibition; If you really want to talk about it, that is, under the command of Gao Linggong who once served, the hundred battle teams that chased from the northwest to the southwest, there may be some similarities and similarities.

Moreover, their slogans and claims are equally different from those of most grass thieves; Under the general banner of "Heaven Makes Up for Average", the feud and goal are directed at the government and the powerful, and the root cause of all the suffering that occurs frequently in natural and man-made disasters in time is sworn to eradicate; Even this has a considerable degree of demagogy, and specious truths and arguments have attracted many foolish and blind people to follow.

This can't help but make him more vigilant and appalled in his heart, because with less and scarce material use and special ideas, he can support this momentum and appearance of the grass thief army, if he really gives the momentum, I am afraid that it will not be the sign of a great thief who will ravage the world and the henchmen of the country in the future; And the concept preached by this grass thief even influenced and infiltrated them, the former officers and soldiers who were forced to labor as prisoners.

Although Zhao Yingong still has some contempt and disbelief in the slogans and ideas declared by these grass thieves, such as "overthrowing the imperial court and this cannibalistic world, the world of Qingping and powerful households wantonly ruining fish and flesh, and creating a new world where lowly people can live in peace"; After all, all the cognition in his half of his life, how can there be less dignity and rank in this world, and how can he not have the protection and thoughtfulness of the imperial court;

But as time passed, the various compulsory ceremonies of peace were awakened day by day, between the daily food and daily work of these captive laborers; As a result, some former officers and soldiers who were originally from poor backgrounds or from poor families began to show signs of vacillation and private identification; It made him feel numb and helpless, because he found that although he was full of resistance, he didn't know how to refute and justify it.

As a result, under the current situation, Zhao Yinggong, who has always thought that he was in vain and forced to do things, now has a reason to insist on fighting; Of course, he did not do this for the safety and survival of these grass thieves, but for the sake of the former officers and soldiers who were captives like himself;

After all, no matter how unlikable these already familiar grass thieves are, they still have evidence and rules for their actions, and they are only spurred by "transformation and atonement" in daily life to drive them to work hard, at least they still have a hope of living; And the grass thieves on the other side are murderous and cruel who kill people when they see them, and they don't even see their own people, not to mention what kind of fate will happen to their own official and military prisoners.

Although he already had the consciousness of the horse leather shroud, after being able to survive for a while, he was reluctant to give up his life easily, at least he was unwilling to die inexplicably in the infighting of these grass thieves.

Therefore, he had to take up arms and command Ding Zhuang, who commanded the labor team, to fight side by side with these grass thieves who supervised them, so that he could kill and suppress the little internal response that caused the riot, and re-stabilize the situation of internal and external troubles in the rear camp, and then keep those besiegers out to the death.

Thinking of this, he leaned on an axle with a long knife, and stuffed a large piece of so-called compressed rations into his mouth, and suddenly felt that the taste was still quite good, at least compared to the things that were eaten most of the time in the officers and soldiers were pig food and dog food. He also had to admit that among these grass thieves, there were still some good things and novelties.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hold on, brother."

I saw a young grass thief, holding a young grass thief who was still bleeding and trying to stuff his intestines back.

"The head will definitely come back to the rescue."

"There's a way to heal you."

Zhao Yinggong pouted disapprerovingly, these left-behind grass thieves have reached the end of this mountain, do they still believe in this kind of thing; Since the other party has been planning to attack for a long time, he is afraid that most of the rear battalion that will be assigned under the pretext will not be so easy to get the news; That is, it is just used to deceive people and talk about **.

By now, they were tired and wounded, and there was not much place left to defend. If it weren't for the fact that there was really nowhere to escape, Zhao Yingong didn't feel that he could still hold on, and now he was just holding on to a few more pads and weakening the power of the grass thieves for the imperial court.

He glanced at the charcoal piled up in front of the vehicles and barns, which was their last proof; Suddenly, I had a very bold idea, if I used these things in exchange, could I give my people a chance to live and open the net?

The thought had already arisen and could not be contained, and it sprang up like wildfire in his line, and made him drag his long knife and walk slowly towards the pile of charcoal, carrying the torches of a few and a half sizes, which were not as high as the fence in the army; If he suddenly burst into a blow, he wouldn't have joined hands at all.

He thought back and forth in his heart, and walked to the edge of the charcoal pile step by step, and took one last look at the number of grass thieves scattered around, and made a preliminary assessment according to their distance and reaction speed, and then clenched the handle of the knife and sighed silently in his heart; I have no personal enmity with you, and we really can't miss the opportunity, so I have to ask for a good birth in the next life.

Then I saw that the other party suddenly threw down the torch and stepped on the ground, and after Zhao Yinggong was startled and took two steps back, he saw them pointing to the sky with some excitement and stammering.

"It's coming. It's back. ”

Then, I heard a sudden earth-shattering shout in the distance

"The tube head is back."

"The Void Head is back."

"The head of the pipe is finally back."

"Pipe, you're back."

And near the sound, the cold streets that had become full of messes in the chaos of the battle seemed to be awakened and brought to life at once, and many scattered voices and figures suddenly appeared.

"Simon's Who's Guarding and Guarding?"

One of the other two generals standing at the head of the city changed his face and shouted angrily at Ding Hui

"Why hasn't anyone sent the news at all?"

"So he let people touch the city and open the door."

"I've sent several teams of men to guard and patrol the outside,"

The other screamed

"Why hasn't there been any news or sign of coming back."

"It's going to be a problem now."

And in the northwest outside Chaoyang City, in a ravine beside the road.

Huo Cun, the silent lieutenant, was also looking at the corpses that were being buried all over the ground with mixed feelings, several of which he disguised as the passing Shaoguan Feihuang Army messengers, and when he led these people out to negotiate, he took the lead in slashing and killing them with his own hands; In my heart, I sighed that this was my own vote, and after this time, I had no way back.

But thinking of the art of war book that Ge got from Zhou, he felt that this might not be such a bad new beginning.

is different from Ge Congzhou, who is hesitant and full of thoughts, or Zhang Guiba, who quickly accepts reality and identity; He cares more about the real thing, the person with this kind of strength and pattern, who can lead them to that point in these rebel ranks.
