I don't know when there were more dark clouds in the sky, blocking the stars and moon in the night sky.

The night was much darker.

Under the dense firelight in the village, some people cried heavily, some people were silent in a daze, and some people gathered their bodies and moved to the hillside behind the village......

At the foot of the mountain, nearly 100 people, including Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Sun Zhong, and Yuan Chao, were digging pits, and there were corpses on the side.

Not far away, Liu Zheng had already changed his clothes and was digging a dirt pit with a hoe.

Next to him are Xiaobai, Zhang Ji, Zhang Chu, and Zhang Mancheng.

Everyone worked together, and soon after, Fang Weng's body was put inside.

Xiao Bai remembered Fang Weng's last life, did not cry, just cried silently, held a few handfuls of soil in his small hand and sprinkled it into the pit, and then watched Liu Zheng and others fill in the pit and set up a wooden sign.

"Brother Zhongjing, take Xiaobai to sleep early. Xiaobai, come to me tomorrow. ”

After Liu Zheng bowed, he raised his chin towards Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Mancheng understood and followed Liu Zheng to a remote corner.

Zhang Fei, Xun You, Sun Zhong and others looked over at the same time, their faces were different, but they didn't bother.

Walking to the shadowy place, Liu Zheng sat on a rock and said straight to the point: "I can't do it." ”

Zhang Mancheng also sat down, his voice deep, "Tell me the way...... Han Zhongxin you. ”

"You accompany him to his death."

Liu Zheng glanced at the other party's favorability as high as 80, and only felt chills all over his body.

It's not as practical as Xun Yu's negative favorability......

So what's the use of this broken system? Is it difficult or a sympathy between opponents? Or can it be solicited?

"Huh...... Interesting? ”

"You died early, at least it's too peaceful here, I can change the next place, go back to filial piety early, why is it boring?"

Liu Zheng looked at the dense torches at the entrance of the village in the distance, and his voice was a little low, "Why don't you surrender early?" I can't give you the days you want, at least not for the time being, and you can't afford to wait...... Sooner or later, you will have to go back to Wancheng, and in two days, Wancheng may be breached. For me to stay here, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"It's going back. But I want to take you, or all of you, with me...... Otherwise, we simply wouldn't be able to survive. Sir, don't talk about boring things. We're dragging you into the water now. ”

"I said it all, I can't do it back."

"That's why I said it showed the way."

“……”

The two sides were silent, Liu Zheng looked at the empty village under the firelight in the distance, a lot of thoughts were messed up in his mind, and after a long time, he said: "On the side of the rice thief, you have to take revenge." Yuan Chao said that it was Zhang Lu who took the lead...... This guy seems to have some tricks, and it's not bad for you to go over there. Isn't Yuan Chao a man? It seems to be a distant relative of the leader of some sage. You go over and work hard with him, and the water in Yizhou can also be muddyed, at least don't let Zhang Lu and them have a good time. ”

This opening can be regarded as having some substantive content, but Zhang Mancheng's mood is not very good, and he said with a wry smile: "It would be good if Mr. could be like this earlier." ”

"You're not bothered! Who got entangled? The lives of a group of people around me are in your hands, or I'll be a piece of! It's possible that I kill you! ”

Liu Zheng was a little irritable, "Yes, Han Zhong is dead!" That's your brother, but ......."

Remembering that it was Zhang Mancheng who solved the crisis in the village, he didn't know what to say, and said impatiently: "Get down to business!" ”

Zhang Mancheng smiled bitterly, "Revenge must be avenged, but in the past, Yizhou ...... More than 100,000 people have passed? Impossible. A little more thoughtful? ”

"Why do you have to bring 150,000 people, if you say 1.5 million people, Lao Tzu has to take care of them all? How good are you using your brains? If I have the ability to force you like this! Zhang Chao is dead! Other Sima, Zhu Jun's confidant...... I'm going crazy myself! What the hell are you letting Shi Yiguan come over? You idiots! What could have been solved a long time ago, how many things have been caused later! ”

"Stop scolding. That's already the case. Who knew that the imperial army came so quickly, and it was still Shi Yiguan's sworn enemy...... Moreover, we only doubted your identity at first, and we didn't expect to be able to lead to other Sima ...... Let's get down to business. ”

"I can't think of it!"

“…… That's what you have to think about. ”

"I ......"

The tone was a little forced, and Liu Zheng gritted his teeth angrily: "Lao Tzu owes you!" ”

"Heh, Mr. has been scolding for a long time today. Zhang originally thought that Mr. was a Sven man. ”

"Why the are you asking for so much! You think I want to do that? It's not your fault! Also, don't teach me a lesson one by one, Lao Tzu is not all the way with you! It's not your juniors! ”

Zhang Mancheng smiled, "Indeed...... But if you think about it carefully, Mr. is very good like this, at least it is true, there is no need to stick to red tape, and it will not make Zhang feel that Mr. is hypocritical and wants to murder me. ”

Liu Zheng laughed angrily at this attitude, "You're so cheap!" ”

"If you want to let the people under you live, you can't help it!"

Zhang Mancheng also laughed.

"Han Zhong also said that I was a child's play...... Hahaha! ”

Liu Zheng laughed louder and louder when he heard this, and Zhang Mancheng also laughed, and the two laughed for a long time and gradually fell silent.

Liu Zheng sighed, "If you had met me earlier, or if I had met you earlier...... It won't be like this. ”

"Are you and I confidants?"

"Think beautifully! You're my subordinate at best. Still thinking that I will be your mastermind? Can you beat me? Is the brain as smart as me? What's the use of just having ideas, pigs have thought about it a little better. ”

"Huh. But you don't have as many people as me......"

Feeling that Liu Zheng had the urge to get angry again, Zhang Mancheng soothed: "Let's get down to business." If you and I talk for a long time, we will arouse suspicion. ”

"It's not what you're looking for, shut up."

Liu Zheng pursed his lips, glanced at Zhang Mancheng's "88" martial arts attributes, taught the other party a lesson, and glanced at the fires outside the village, but still began to think calmly.

Although Zhang Mancheng's death date is somewhat different from his memory, if Liu Zheng is not mistaken, Zhu Jun is a brainless person, and when he attacked Wancheng, he always advocated killing the Yellow Turban thieves until he was afraid - that is to say, Zhang Mancheng really wanted to live, and he didn't want to give up the hundreds of thousands of people, so he could only wait for more than 100,000 people to be recruited, or...... Rounded to zero.

Thinking of this, he hesitated: "More than 100,000 people are too many...... Really, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, and I really don't want them to be harmed, so I can only be dismissed...... Are you willing to disperse them? ”

Zhang Mancheng was stunned, shook his head and sighed: "Unwilling." But the great sage and good teacher were designed and killed by you, and without the backbone, people's hearts are easy to disperse...... Honestly, I ...... with Han"

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the side, and then said with a wry smile: "We have thought that the Taiping Dao is led by great sages and good teachers. If he hadn't died, many of us would have been able to hold on, but he died...... Things are not easy to do. And the few remaining Qu Shuai can't get together. Fighting on their own, sooner or later there is a possibility of being breached. That's why we're looking for people. ”

"Don't mention it, we can still have a good chat."

Liu Zheng didn't feel good in his heart, "That means that you want everyone to disperse now?" ”

"It's not a question of whether Zhang wants to or not, it depends on what the brothers think......"

Liu Zheng nodded, the night wind blew, he listened to the cry mixed with the wind, and rubbed his arm that was a little chilling, "I'll give you an opinion." Let everyone pretend to be civilians and open the city gate directly and let them out. You can't be recruited, then use this kind of strategy, Zhu Zhonglang will be a little paranoid, thinking that the sea is very good, and you can't be allowed to rebel if you want to, and surrender if you want to surrender, but no matter how stubborn he is, it is impossible to kill civilians. Wancheng is the county guard, there must be a lot of people in the city, the people of the whole city are released, your people are mixed in, even if they find some, it is impossible to kill everyone. ”

"...... first"

"Listen to me. That's right. You can't satisfy everyone, and even if you can get them to repent in front of you one by one, if you try to get out of this mess, they will still feel that you have betrayed them - because the purpose is different. You need to tell them now that they are on the wrong path and that they need to find a place to start over. Believe in you, and you bring it. If you don't believe you, you can't stay. ”

"Sir, I've thought about this idea for the past two days. But Han Zhong said...... If they are all scattered, our lives may be taken and sacrificed to the court. ”

Zhang Mancheng smiled bitterly and pulled out a grass, wrapped it around his fingers and looked at the night, and said frankly: "Zhang thought you nodded to understand." To tell you the truth, although the situation we have created now is difficult, so many people still have a dependence on being together, and everyone working together may not be able to survive. Zhang is not willing to ...... like this"

"What do you rely on?"

Liu Zheng looked absurd: "As a result, I just want to find someone to break the unsolvable situation?" You are reluctant to give up hundreds of thousands of people, but you can't be recruited, you are now calling me to show the way, I gave it to you, do you want better? I've made it clear! You don't have a chance! You know for yourself, why hold on? ”

"Zhang remembers what you said, I did something wrong to rob others before...... That's why I found someone to change it, and I found you. ”

Zhang Mancheng pulled the grass in his hand, "It's just, if it is scattered, will there be a chance to live a good life?" Don't you all have to go back to the old days? may not even have a bite to eat sometimes, and they will be bullied by those corrupt officials and powerful gentlemen...... And then then find a way to start all over again? ”

He shook his head and said, "Instead of tossing and turning like this, we might as well die in this battle." Naturally, sir, if you can't come up with an idea, such a skill...... Don't blame Zhang. Either you kill me...... But I have already told Sun Zhong and them, your home is in Zhuo County, Youzhou, and now he has informed many people to know. ”

"...... the"

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth in anger, and then was stunned.

Zhang Mancheng and these people will think so, in the final analysis, they don't want their efforts to be in vain, in their opinion, if they are suppressed, there will be stability after the court, and then they will have to live a dark life.

And Liu considered it from the situation of the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty......

This is simply two levels of people communicating, no wonder the other party is brainless!

Liu Zheng suddenly realized, and said with a strange face: "Are you familiar with Zhang Zhong?" Or is it simply taking advantage of each other? ”

"At that time, I cooperated when I was spreading believers in Wancheng...... He also pretended to be his guest servant and dealt with some things. Actually, it's not familiar. But this time it's about you......"

Liu Zheng suddenly seemed to think of something, and said angrily: "Can you stop mentioning this matter?" I'll fix it! There will be no rebellion! There's no way you're going to pull me over! ”

The voice was a little heavy, obviously it also meant to deliberately say it to those people nearby, Zhang Mancheng smiled noncommittally, and heard Liu Zheng say irritably: "I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with you, such a clumsy skill...... Liu said bluntly, I heard that there are great sages who have calculated that in another four or five years, His Majesty will die. When the time comes, the court will ......"

"What did you say!"

Zhang Mancheng suddenly stood up excitedly, "Is it true? ”

"Tap! Tap! ”

Liu Zheng glanced at Zhang Ji with some weakness, and when he saw many people looking over, he said softly: "Wait for four...... Five years, just five years, how? In just these five years, I will find a way for you to make those who believe in you live a good life. You withdraw from Wancheng first...... If you really haven't waited until then, you will come to me again to settle accounts! ”

"Your Majesty's business...... Are you serious? You can't be the one who tricked me, right? ”

"When the time comes, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, how about it? Five years later, at the end of the year, you came to me! ”

Liu Zheng said firmly, "Of course, we can also exchange letters in the past few years!" But you are not allowed to harm me...... It's okay, in fact, you can't hurt me, if I really want to escape, it's a big deal that I don't want anything, and then the fish will die. ”

Zhang understood. But after a five-year contract, Zhang has to go back and think again, think again......"

Zhang Mancheng's heart was beating like a drum, and he looked at the graves of Han Zhong and the others in the distance, but he suddenly felt a little sad, "First, sir, since I just talked about dismissing the people of Wancheng, let's talk about what I should do later." Future...... Maybe you can use it. ”

A little moonlight appeared between the dark clouds, Liu Zheng's eyes were extremely bright, and then a snap of his fingers sounded, and the two talked for a long time......

When he entered the Zhongyuan Dynasty, not long after the beginning of Chouchu, Zhang Mancheng led a few people to worship Han Zhong and others, and led more than 1,000 people to leave.

But Xun You, who had been paying attention to Zhang Mancheng and the others, found strange that these people were supposed to go to Wancheng together, but most of them dispersed, and only a small number of people, including the people, followed Zhang Mancheng in the direction of Wancheng......

Moreover, Zhang Mancheng swept away the gloom, and his expression seemed to be a little excited when he left.

On the other side, Liu Zheng and Liu Gongzi also looked quite excited.

Xun You's eyes flickered.

What exactly did they say? Why did Zhang Mancheng leave like this?

Or is it ...... Liu Gongzi, did you really collaborate with the enemy?
