As soon as He Tao and a few people entered the forest, they immediately found the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi and the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin who hugged their chests and sneered, he also ate this bowl of rice anyway, and suddenly felt bad, just about to run but only to see this "one dragon and one beast" pounce on, three times five divided by two, they all knocked them to the ground, and then tied them up strongly, and the snow bright steel knife also drove to their necks.

At this time, Ye Ling came over in a good time, and said with a slight smile: "Lord He, you have worked hard to fall into the net, I suggest that you better not shout and talk nonsense, otherwise I can't guarantee that my two brothers will not miss and cut you in a panic, of course, that is, a little more small wound on the neck, several adults are iron men, if you are not afraid, just shout." ”

The entourage was so frightened that their faces turned white, please it was the neck and not somewhere else, even if it was a wound, it might be dead, and they didn't dare to say a word honestly, He Tao had the courage to ask, "Who are you?" Dare to sneak attack the court officials, do you know what kind of crime this is? I advise you to hurry up and rein in the precipice, and the official can let you go if you commit a first offense. ”

Ye Ling smiled dumbly and said, "Lord He, you think too much, if I guess correctly, you came here this time for the Birth Gang case, right?" Why are we embarrassed not to welcome the guests when they come to the door, hehe. ”

He Tao was so frightened when he heard this, he stammered and said, "You, you, it's difficult, is it that Chao Gai's subordinates?" ”

Ye Ling said lightly: "Yes, we were sent by Brother Chao, you dog officials are so bold that you dare to arrest our Bai Sheng brothers, what else do you have to say if it falls into our hands today?" ”

He Tao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, the villain just acts on orders, and he really doesn't do anything to me, and I still have an eighty-year-old lady at home, so a few of them will spare my dog's life." ”

Yang Zhi roughly guessed what Ye Ling wanted to do at this time, and he was also extremely impressed in his heart, and deliberately asked in a rough voice: "Brother, these male dogs want to trouble us, and what are they talking about, just kill them with one knife." ”

Ye Ling glanced at Yang Zhi appreciatively, and then said slowly: "If those dogs are killed, kill them, but this He Tao still left him alive, otherwise no one will talk to the Jeju Mansion dog official, Lord He, take out everything on your body and get out, remember to help us bring two words to your dog Taishou, first, release Brother Bai Sheng as soon as possible; Second, don't bother the old men in the future. ”

Shi Jin and Yang Zhi immediately stabbed in and out of the electricity when they heard this, and before the entourage could even spare their lives, their throats had already been cut, and the people fell down softly, He Tao was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he was busy taking out all the things on his body, for fear that Ye Ling would change his mind if he slowed down.

But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Shi Jin: "Do you want to leave like this, a dog official?" My brother spared your dog's life, but the crime of life is inescapable, and the lord saw that your two ears grew well, so he stayed and forgot it. ”

He Tao was so frightened that he knelt down again and begged bitterly, but Shi Jin glared at him with strange eyes: "Your subordinates are all dead, as long as your two ears are already cheap to you, what are you still noisy?" If you are verbose, the old man will even accept your life together. ”

After saying that, Shi Jin went up and cut off He Tao's two ears with two knives, where did He Tao dare to speak again, he immediately covered his head and hugged his head and ran away, Shi Jin and Yang Zhi both laughed.

Seeing He Tao walking away, Yang Zhicai asked: "Brother, I already understand that you want to take in Na Chao Gai and the others, but why do you want to let go of He Tao, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill them all?" In my opinion, this Jeju Mansion Taishou will definitely not give up, not only will he not release Bai Sheng, but he may also continue to send people, this time it will not be a few people but hundreds or even thousands of people. ”

Ye Ling said with a smile: "Yang Zhi, you know one thing, you don't know the other, I just want them to send officers and soldiers, you think, just the three of us to inform Chao Gai and their group, although they are grateful to us, but if they are willing to take the initiative to take refuge in me, it may not be, the biggest possibility is to send us some gold and silver, and then they will calmly escape."

And if He Tao goes back to inform the Jeju Prefecture Taishou, and then they send soldiers to Yuncheng County to arrest people, it will be different, in the face of this kind of crisis, then Chao Gai will feel great pressure, and it will be convenient for us to act at this time. ”

Ye Ling has grasped the weakness of human nature, this is like a person who wants to fall down and pull him, he will thank you but that's all, but if he almost fell under the cliff with one foot and you pulled him, this is equivalent to saving his life, and he is grateful to you to repay you as a life-saving benefactor, so it is also a pull, and the reward is absolutely worlds apart.

The same is true for helping them, if it's in relative safety, they'll thank you if you give them a message, but at most it's "a reward for some gold and silver"; But if it is already a danger for the officers and soldiers, if you come to inform them again, it will be a life-saving grace, and the difference between the two cannot be calculated.

Therefore, Yang Zhi nodded again and again when he heard this, and he was even more impressed by Ye Ling's strategy in his heart, as a general, he is not like an ordinary hero who only knows how to fight and blood, if you just want to be a good man, these two things are enough, but if you want to be the master of one force, you must know some strategies.

And Ye Ling's ambition is to become a powerful party and even overthrow the imperial court, such requirements are naturally higher, and people who have no scheming and strategy have already died I don't know how many times.

Like the three heroes of the famous Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao has always been known for being suspicious and ruthless, and his people are all in awe of him; But if you really think that Uncle Liu is as generous, benevolent and righteous as "he himself said", it would be ridiculous - if that were the case, he would not have gone around to others in the first half of his life, and then ran away and even betrayed many times when he saw that the situation was not good, it was just the "perfect character" he advocated for himself, coupled with his so-called "Queen of Zhongshan Jingwang" and the emperor's uncle's signboard, which allowed him to fight against Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the second generation of officials, as a commoner.

And there are not no people who are really righteous, such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the third master Zhang Fei; There are not without generous and benevolent people, such as Kong Rong, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and other civil officials; But whether it is a military official or a general, they can only be destined to be dependent on a male lord in order to show their ambitions, and the people mentioned above are undoubtedly very good talents, but if they are allowed to be the monarch of a force, they must not, this force is absolutely doomed.

Therefore, a monarch, he can not write, he can not be martial, but there are two things that are absolutely indispensable, one is ambition, and the other is the art of the emperor - that is, power and strategy.
