Chapter 243: Zhou Cang's Defection Reason
After Zhou Cang finished speaking, Xiang Cheng carefully calculated, there were really a lot of these rogues. There are more than a dozen dens, with an average of two or three hundred people per den, if they really converge, it is really a force that is not weak.
However, these rogues have not been integrated.
This is also the reason why Zhou Cang wants to take refuge in Xiang Cheng, which is Zhou Cang's so-called truth.
Since Zhao Ci's death, these small leaders of the rogue have no unified decision-maker, and no one is convinced of anyone, so they get together in twos and threes to avoid Xiang Cheng's liquidation.
Zhou Cang was naturally a small leader under Zhao Ci in the past, but this person was born as a serious farmer. He had the strength to deal with his brothers well, so he found the best place to hide, which not only had water, but also a lot of wild vegetables.
So, this place is always being peeped at.
Just two days ago, Zhou Cang's department was inexplicably attacked, not Xiang Cheng's army, but those people they used to call brothers, for the place where Zhou Cang is hiding now.
Zhou Cang's subordinates were quite numerous, including two or three hundred. This place is not small, if that person has good words, Zhou Cang will also keep them.
However, people's hearts are so strange, if these people say good words, even if they stay, they will not be able to become the "king of the mountain". Therefore, the person who came did not have a good face with Zhou Cang at all, in order to be able to drive Zhou Cang away and continue to be his so-called "mountain king".
But Zhou Cang's subordinates are not weak, and the number of people on both sides is about the same, so they will fight if they don't agree.
Four or five hundred people began a life-and-death struggle between the mountains and fields.
According to what Zhou Cang said, they had all the top points at that time, and Xiang Cheng also believed that according to Zhou Cang's skills, they should theoretically be among the best among these rogues.
But who knows, the two groups of people are in full swing, only to hear the leader on the opposite side shouting, if you don't make a move, we will be killed by Zhou Heizi.
With this voice, two more rogue armies were killed in the oblique field, and the number of people was much less than that of Zhou Cang, and each team was about less than a hundred. However, at this time, Zhou Cang had already suffered most of the casualties, and if he was caught by these 200 fresh forces, he would either be wiped out or scattered and absorbed.
For a while, Zhou Cang was also ruthless, shouting to let their people gather towards him, and with the momentum of not wanting to die, he forcibly killed these three hundred people.
Xiang Cheng thought about it for a while after listening to it, and some of the rogues outside the city today really had injuries on their bodies.
Zhou Cang continued: "We were killed and dispersed, and I was also in a hurry at that time, thinking that if I didn't survive, I would make them unhappy. ”
Zhou Cang rushed out and rushed straight towards the leader who had beaten them at that time, with less than fifty people scattered behind him. But Zhou Cang's charge frightened the man, and without waiting for Zhou Cang to tighten up, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran down the mountain.
The battle array split into three parts in an instant, turning into a joke.
The man ran for his life in front of him, and Zhou Cang took fifty people to form a second echelon, biting the man to the death, and chasing after him desperately. The remaining 300 or so people in the end are the third echelon. But looking at it, the people in the third echelon don't seem to have any intention of saving that person, but hang at the end.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and under Zhou Cang's desperate pursuit, in the end, the man was captured by Zhou Cangsheng ten miles away.
After being captured, it was nothing more than kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and Zhou Cang chased after him all the way but thought a lot - this person couldn't stay.
Without waiting for the man to ask again, Zhou Cang was very decisive, and he accepted a good human head with a knife in his hand.
Later, a few people discussed, this revenge must be avenged, otherwise these living people are really shameless to face those brothers who died in the battle on the mountain.
At that time, Zhao Ci discussed the code when he raised the army, and Zhou Cang, as the small leader, naturally had his own code, and after leaving the code, it took another three days, and his brothers who were lucky enough to survive arrived one after another.
There were originally nearly 300 people, but he lost more than half of them in this battle, and only the few 180 people outside the city found him.
Everyone discussed it and finally decided to defect to Xiang Cheng together. In order to be able to kill those three groups of men and horses, so as to avenge their brothers.
Although when he arrived in the city, Gan Ning killed a few people without saying a word, and was killed by Zhou Cang himself. However, fortunately, Xiang Cheng finally took them in.
After Zhou Cang finished speaking, Xiang Cheng sighed: "Do you know that this city is full of displaced people who have been harmed by Zhao Ci? ”
Zhou Cang replied: "This is a natural province, I will also restrain my brother so that they don't make trouble, general, you can rest assured." ”
"It's necessary not to cause trouble, the people in the city have grievances against you, as long as it doesn't hurt your name, you can put up with it for the time being, and wait for Nanyang to stabilize, and then talk about it." Bai Ren said.
Zhou Cang woke up when he heard this, presumably there were already people in this city who were dissatisfied with his group. At this time, it was naturally difficult to argue, so I had to respond: "This is nature." ”
Seeing Zhou Cang's low tone, Bai Ren smiled and said, "Since you already know your intentions, then General Zhou, let's talk about where those rogues who robbed your territory are now?" ”
This is a typical beating stick to give a sweet date. Bai Ren let Zhou Cang endure the bullying, and the latter was bound to be unhappy, but this portrayal turned to help Zhou Cang take revenge, and this sunspot was happy in his heart. In the final analysis, this person is actually very simple and knows how to be satisfied.
Zhou Cang was overjoyed and said: "General, the two groups of people who killed my brothers are thirty miles east of Nanyang, and they will march tomorrow morning and arrive at ten o'clock at noon." We'll be able to catch him off guard! ——Zhou Cang is not talented, willing to be a pioneer! ”
The last sentence was addressed to Xiang Cheng, but Xiang Cheng chuckled twice and did not answer.
Bai Ren said with a smile: "Today's business is finished today." If it is delayed until tomorrow, there will be some variables. Ignoring Zhou Cang's confusion, Bai Ren shouted outside the house: "Call General Gan to come to discuss the matter!" ”
Not long after, Gan Ning boasted his saber on his waist, strode into the house, picked up the water bowl in front of Bai Ren and drank it all, and said in his mouth: "What do you want to discuss with me?" I think it must be some kind of ghost idea in Zifu, right? Hurry up, I'm going back to training! ”
Bai Ren smiled: "What? My idea is the devil's idea, and I promise you'll thank me when you're done. ”
"Then tell me about it."
"Hurry tonight and raid the rogue camp!"
After listening to these words, Gan Ning was extremely excited, just as Bai Ren said, and clasped Bai Ren's shoulder and said, "Really? Do you want me to go? ”
"Exactly." After Bai Ren finished speaking, Gan Ning was even more excited, and his hands increased his strength, and he actually raised Bai Ren upright. "Hey, hey, Xingba let go, you scratched me!"
