Chapter 52: Conspiracy to Rebel
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, as soon as the golden mountain is broken, the horns of the Xiliang army's painstaking management suddenly collapse, and Jincheng is equal to the **** people in front, up to the commander Han Sui, down to the ordinary soldiers, all of them are panicked, there is no good plan inside, there is no rescue outside, and the lonely city is difficult to defend!
In order to break the fighting spirit of the defenders, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu were escorted to the city, beheaded and displayed to the public, and the heads were raised high with long poles, allowing the birds to peck at them!
At the same time, hundreds of headless arrows were shot into the city, with Xiao Yi's letter of persuasion tied to it, with four simple sentences: "Only Han Sui will be punished, and the rest will not be asked, stubbornly resist to the end, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”
'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' said, no one will doubt that the slaughter of the city and the extermination of the clan can not be done by others, this 'killing god' is no problem, Di people are a lesson from the past, the same way, he said that if he does not kill the soldiers, then he will never kill, this is also the credibility of the killing god!
On the one hand, it is to surrender and avoid death, on the other hand, the chickens and dogs are not left, no matter how stupid people are, they know how to choose, besides, Han Sui betrayed his brother and took Jincheng by fraud, and the people's hearts were not convinced, and they relied on iron-fisted means to suppress it, so they barely maintained, and now the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the lonely city is difficult to defend, who is willing to sell his life again, just that night, taking advantage of the absence of the city patrol general, more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers walked out of the city to surrender!
Hearing the news, Han Sui jumped like thunder, and immediately ordered to kill the captain who led the team, and hang his head on the city tower to deter people's hearts, then knowing that it would backfire, the soldiers would kill the captain if they ran away, and the captains didn't want to die, so let's run together, and bring a few more people over, and you can also atone for the crime!
For a while, the Xiliang soldiers fled even more violently, in groups, in an endless stream, and even deserted in broad daylight, hundreds of people ran out in one day, and the hearts of the people in Jincheng were completely shaken!
"Those who spread rumors and shake the hearts of the army - kill!"
"Those who leave their posts without permission and run away without permission - kill!"
"Poor supervision, connivance with subordinates fleeing - kill!"
In a desperate situation, Han Sui went completely crazy, ordered three killings in a row, personally led the guards to inspect the city defense, caught the fleeing soldiers, or those who had the intention of escaping, immediately beheaded, and dozens of bloody heads were hung out on the gatehouse of Jincheng every day!
In addition, Han Sui was also suspicious of his generals, for fear that they would launch a rebellion and endanger their lives, so he sent double guards in the Assassin's Mansion.
"Han Sui old thief, crazy to such an extent, it is not far from destruction!" Seeing the panicked situation of the people of Jincheng, Xiao Yi sneered for a while, and ordered to treat the troops well, and those who are willing to serve the imperial court should immediately change their armor and be incorporated into the army.
In addition, Xiao Yi also selected hundreds of strong and loud soldiers from the surrendered troops, and after eating and drinking enough every day, they stood at the bottom of Jincheng, shouting at the top of their voices, and recruiting their companions inside!
"Brothers, most of the governors are powerful and invincible in the world, and there is only one way to die in confrontation......"
"Surrender is innocent, stubborn resistance will die, why bother to sell your life to Han Sui's old thief, think about your wife and children......"
"Everyone is a Han army, why kill each other, take refuge in the imperial court, let's go to fight the people and recover the homeland of Xiliang......"
……………………………………
Things have developed to this point, and the fool also knows that Jincheng can't hold it, and it's only a matter of time before it falls, the soldiers just want to live, just escape, and the generals think more, in addition to surviving, they also want to be rich!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Late at night, in the golden city, a majestic general's mansion, pavilions, magnificent, here is the mansion of General Shenwei - Ma Chao, after Han Sui seized the city, rewarded the generals under his command, and gave this mansion to Liang Xing, the head of the eight generals, to buy people's hearts, but unfortunately, the hearts of people bought with money are also easy to lose!
In the mansion-secret room, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan will sit together, their faces sinking like water, looking at each other from time to time, guessing the minds of others, in fact, everyone is sitting together, and it already explains the problem, but it's not good to say that the seller seeks glory!
"So far, there is only one way to die if you resist stubbornly, Xiao Dadudu's thunderbolt methods, several brothers know, and the head of the person on the long pole outside the city is an example!" Liang Xing is the master of this room and the convener of the secret meeting, so he was naturally the first to speak!
"What the eldest brother said is extremely true, Jincheng can't hold it, the ghost-faced Xiao Lang will do what he says, once the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!" Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan nodded yes, thinking of the fate of the other four generals, they all felt a chill, the ants were still stealing their lives, they had countless family wealth and beautiful wives and concubines, so they were naturally even more reluctant to die, but where was the way to live?
"If it doesn't work, let's take our family and treasures, go out of the city overnight, cross the Huangshui, and escape, the world is so big, there is always a place to stay!" The candidate is the second of the eight generals, and he is quite simple, and his method is to escape!
"The enemy army is very tightly besieged, the wind and rain are impenetrable, with family and property, I am afraid that I will not be able to rush out...... besides, even if we are lucky enough to rush out, can we go there, fall into the grass, or live in seclusion in the mountains, years of hard work to get the power, once you give up, are you willing?"
In Liang Xing's words, it is not difficult to escape, the difficult thing is to give up power and wealth, they are all from a hard background, starting from the army, more than ten years of hard work, hundreds of deaths, before becoming a general, with a beautiful wife and concubines, countless wealth, once discarded, it is really better to live than to die!
For generals, if you can fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, if you don't fight, if you don't go, you will surrender, this is also the only way out, but surrender is also divided into different methods, surrender, kneel, or surrender?
Fraudulent surrender, that is, to pretend to surrender, paralyze the enemy, take advantage of its unpreparedness, suddenly attack, and reverse the defeat in one fell swoop, this method can deal with arrogant and arrogant people, and when encountering a resourceful general like Xiao Yi, it will be useless at all, but will die even worse!
Kneeling down is to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, completely hand over your life and death to the other party, meet a soft-hearted opponent, and still have a way to live, meet a bloodthirsty one, where the game is completely finished, think about the killing of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', this method will not work!
The only feasible thing is to surrender, offer a gift, touch the hearts of the opposing generals, and under the joy, not only their lives are worry-free, but also the glory and wealth can be preserved, which is the best way to surrender!
The question arises again, what is a gift that can impress the 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang'?
Beauty, gold, jewelry, war horses, cattle and sheep...... These are all useless, people are not moved at all, otherwise the peace would have been successfully negotiated a long time ago, and there is only one thing left - Han Sui's head, the 'God of Killing' likes to collect skull cups!
At the thought of killing Han Sui, several people hesitated again, and the accumulated power generated over the years made them afraid, in addition, Han Sui was thoughtful and treacherous, and it was not easy to calculate him, not to mention that there were heavy guards in the Assassin's Mansion, patrolling day and night, once things didn't work out, they would be the ones who died!
"Everything is up to the eldest brother, we share weal and bene, and we have no regrets in life and death!" The three of them bowed and saluted, among the eight generals, Liang Xing was the most cunning, known as the 'Liang Fox', if he wanted to clean up Han Sui, only he had to give advice!
"In that case, brothers, listen to me!" Liang Xing has been planning the rebellion for a long time, and he has already made up his mind......
"Candidate, tomorrow afternoon, you go to report to the old thief, just say that there are many subordinates who have fled, and they can't take care of it, ask to borrow some of the pro-soldiers of the Assassin Mansion to suppress the situation, the old thief will not be suspicious, as long as the tiger talisman is in hand, immediately take the pro-soldiers out, set up an ambush in advance, kill them all, and leave no one behind!
Cheng Yin is responsible for guarding the four gates, stabilizing the people in the city, and the clan disciples of the old thieves in the army are all killed, in case they rescue the Assassin Mansion!
Li Kan led people to guard the arsenal, the treasury, and the grain depot, which is the capital of our lives, and it is also a generous gift to the Metropolitan Governor, and there must be no mistakes, as for the old thief's assassination mansion, it will be handed over to me to deal with! ”
Liang Xing is worthy of the name of 'fox', and the strategies he came up with are closely linked to each other, and he will definitely kill Han Sui, and he will firmly grasp the great work of capturing the thief in his own hands, and his intentions are unfathomable!
"Big brother has no last resort, I admire it!" The three of them clapped their hands together, thinking that this plan was feasible, but they didn't get up, Liang Xing was smart, they weren't stupid, if they wanted to rebel, they had to work together inside and outside, at least with some guarantee, otherwise they killed Han Sui, but Xiao Yi didn't give a reward, wouldn't it be a waste of work!
"Hehe, brothers rest assured, after the matter is completed, high-ranking officials will be generous, and wealth and wealth will be shared!" Liang Xing smiled and took out the Prime Minister's order from his arms, showed it to a few people, and contacted the things outside the city, he had already done it!
"Tomorrow night, the red light will be the signal, let's get rid of the old thief together and welcome Governor Xiao into the city!"
"No!"
