Chapter 35: Suppressing Bandits (5)
Zhao Gu smiled, accepted his compliment, and then ordered them to be untied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"You're not afraid of us running?" Qin Qiong asked with a strange face.
"A true hero, knowing right from wrong, valuing benevolence and righteousness." Zhao Gu said with a smile.
Qin Qiong nodded: "You are right, the five of us are all men who aspire to be true heroes, and we will not take revenge, are you going to let us go?" What can we help with? ”
To this day, they still want to be other people's men, and Zhao Gu is helpless.
"It's not a help, I'm just letting you think of ways to help yourself." Zhao Gu said.
"How can I help myself?"
Zhao Gu pointed to Mojian Mountain not far away, and said, "Since you are all bandits because you worship the Five Tiger Generals of the Tang Dynasty, and I have now made the truth clear to you, do you still want to be bandits?" ”
Qin Qiong and the five shook their heads like rattles: "I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it." ”
Zhao Gu continued: "Then if I let you go back to the mountain and persuade the rest of your brothers to go down the mountain and subjugate the Fa, are you willing?" ”
"This ......." Qin Qiong and the five of them were reluctant to make a sound, and Zhao Gu saw everything in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"There are two purposes for bringing you back to the mountain. First, if your ruler wants to go down the mountain, persuade him well. Second, if your boss wants to defend the cottage to the death, you will wait with them on the mountain for our encirclement and suppression, and you will die together, with the righteousness of all brothers. ”
Hearing this, Qin Qiong's eyes were red, and their chests rose and fell rapidly, as if they had seen the scene where their brothers and the officials and soldiers fought to the death, but none of them retreated, everyone fought together, died together, died together in this life, lived together in the next life, and became brothers again.
"This is the true nature of a man of my generation!" The five of them sighed in unison.
Afterwards, Qin Qiong and the five of them hugged their fists heavily towards Zhao Gu, looking generous and righteous, and then strode away from the handsome tent and went back to Mojian Mountain.
It wasn't until the five of them left that Cao Wei asked, "Is it really good to join the army?" In this state, I am afraid that after returning to the mountain, they will really fight with us. ”
Zhao Gu smiled incomprehensibly and asked rhetorically: "General Cao, if you are them, knowing that it will not end well with the officials and soldiers, will you still die?" ”
"It depends, if I have to fight to the death, I think I'll fight to the death." Cao Wei replied.
"What if you didn't have to die? Are you willing to jump into the pit with your brother? Zhao Gu asked again.
"Of course I don't want to,...... I understand, they were fooled by you, thinking that the bandits and the official army would definitely die in a battle, and they were bound to persuade the 800 bandits to go down the mountain, and then we could take the Mojian Mountain without blood. Cao Wei said excitedly.
Cao Wei thought he had guessed Zhao Gu's thoughts, and he didn't want Zhao Gu to shake his head directly, Cao Wei couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"You'll know then, and I'm not entirely sure if this will work." Zhao Gu said uncertainly.
Cao Wei didn't ask anymore, lowered his head and pondered.
On the other side, after five hours of traveling, Qin Qiong and the five of them interspersed in the Mojian Mountain for a long time, and after making sure that no one was following behind, they took advantage of the night to burrow into the belly of the Mojian Mountain.
But in the belly of this mountain, there is a natural valley, the valley is surrounded by mountains, and only a crack in the mountain that allows only one person to pass through is used as an exit, and if you are not very familiar with this place, you will not be able to find it at all.
Because this is the exit of the canyon, there are wild grass more than one person tall all over, and the trees everywhere are dense and obscuring the view, even if anyone walks here, they will not notice that there is a mountain crack here.
Qin Qiong's five people cleared the wild grass with ease, got into the mountain crevices, and soon entered the small valley.
"Who?" A cold drink came from the woods at the entrance to the valley.
Qin Qiong laughed: "Little cub, don't you even know me?" ”
"Five masters!"
Two seventeen or eighteen-year-old youths walked out of the woods and happily greeted Qin Qiong.
"You are back from the fifth master, our brothers still think that you were captured by the official army." One of the young men laughed.
Qin Qiong's face was slightly unnatural and he waved his hand and asked, "What about the big bosses?" ”
"In the Hall of Justice." The young man replied.
Qin Qiong took the other four people into the valley and went straight to the Juyi Hall.
Seeing Qin Qiong come back unscathed, everyone in the Gathering Hall was pleasantly surprised, and surrounded them to ask questions.
But there are also two people who look quite weird, they are Wang Xiongxin and Li Maogong.
How could the officers and soldiers let them go?
The two glanced at each other and exchanged ideas silently, Li Maogong nodded at Wang Xiongxin, Wang Xiongxin separated from the bandits, patted Qin Qiong's shoulder, and said, "Old Five, you are back, our brothers are worried about you." By the way, did you escape on your own or did the officers and soldiers let you go? ”
Qin Qiong replied truthfully: "It was the official army who let me go, otherwise how could I escape in the 5,000-strong army." ”
Wang Xiongxin frowned, and asked as calmly as possible: "Why did the official army let you go?" ”
Qin Qiong said what Zhao Gu said, and finally hugged his fists heavily: "Big brother, second brother, and all the brothers, I think Zhao joins the army and is reasonable, the Great Song Dynasty has been founded for less than a hundred years, but the country and the people are safe and secure, we want to learn from the five tiger generals of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that we will not be able to succeed, it is better to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and strive for leniency for the government." ”
Sure enough, this kid wants to rebel! Wang Xiongxin and Li Maogong glanced at each other again, and their eyes were cold.
The other bandits, on the other hand, all showed pensive expressions.
Among these people, there are people like Qin Qiong who became bandits on a whim, and there are also those who can't live at home and have no choice but to fall into the grass, and some are simply one of the refugees this time, after listening to Qin Qiong's words, they can't help but regret being this bandit.
If it were normal times, when they heard Qin Qiong's words, at most they would tremble slightly, and then what should they do, after all, not everyone is a man like Qin Qiong who aspires to be a general.
But now there are only 800 of the 2,000 bandits left, and the 1,002 bandits have either entered the underworld or have been captured by the officials and soldiers.
So as Qin Qiong's words were finished, many people had the idea of going down the mountain and turning themselves in.
As the brainchild of Mojian Mountain, Li Maogong also has some skills, and when he saw the expressions of the bandits, he immediately understood their thoughts.
With a sneer, Li Maogong walked to the middle of the hall, looked directly at Qin Qiong and asked, "Old Five, let me ask you, many of our people have killed people, if we go down the mountain with you, the government will let us go?" ”
These words directly hit Qin Qiong's death hole.
Yes, if these brothers go down the mountain, will the government let them go?
The reason why he persuaded everyone to go down the mountain was to save the lives of the 800 bandits, but if they went down the mountain, would the 800 bandits really be able to save their lives?
