Chapter 22 The halberd goes to the meeting
The dust settled.
The ambushed men and horses walked out of the dense forest, Zhou Xin walked over with a big knife, first looked at Xia Zhao's corpse on the ground, sighed, shook his head, turned his head, looked at Guan Suo with burning eyes, and said: "The halberd technique of the young prince seems to have improved again. ”
Guan Suo nodded and said, "I have some understanding of the battle with you." ”
The enemy has surrendered, and the rest will be done. There are so many thieves, there will definitely be an accident if they are brought together, after all, they are thieves, and the number exceeds the more than 100 people who are locked up in them. After discussing with Li Yan and Zhou Xinyi, Guan Suo immediately made a decision, and Zhou Xin came forward and divided these thieves into two waves, one of which was a relatively positive person, even if he was born a thief, he had no good deeds of oppression; Another wave, quite the opposite.
With Zhou Xin, it is impossible for these thieves to hide it.
Soon, people were singled out. Xia Zhao came out this time with a total of more than 250 people, and after being killed by a round of crossbow arrows, only 53 thieves with no evil deeds were singled out.
"These people ......"
Guan Suo pointed to the remaining one hundred and fifty thieves, frowned, and said coldly: "Kill them all!" ”
"Huh?!"
"Don't, General Guan, the second leader, spare your life, spare your life......"
"You don't have to die well...... Yes! ”
When these thieves heard this, they all panicked, crying and begging for mercy, but Guan Suo seemed to be iron-hearted, and Li Yan and others were not ambiguous under their hands, and the thieves who had no weapons couldn't even resist.
Guan Suo turned around indifferently, looked at the fifty-three thieves who were picked out and trembled with fear by this scene, and spoke, and a faint voice sounded, "Do you think I'm particularly ruthless and a butcher?" Do you all think so, you have surrendered, I can't kill you? ”
"To be honest, I don't want to kill them, but the innocent people who have died under their butcher's knives have forced me to raise their butcher knives!"
"I can allow you to kill, but I can't allow you to oppress the good and harm the innocent!"
"That's my bottom line."
"That's why you're still standing, you don't have innocent blood on your hands! Although he is a thief, he can still stick to the bottom line of being a man, which is extremely rare! ”
"I, surnamed Guan Mingsuo, in Hedong, some people also call a certain Hua Guansuo. You have all heard it just now, a certain is the third son of Guan Junhou of Jingzhou, and this trip is only to go south to Jingzhou to find his father. If you are interested, you can go to Jingzhou with Guan, and you will be treated as a brother; If you don't want to, you won't force it, but you will give enough money, and you can leave on your own, and Guan will never be embarrassed. ”
"Now, those who are willing to stay, who are willing to follow me Guan Suo to create a career, stand on the left!"
Fifty-three thieves Mu Ran, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, more than twenty people stood up.
Zhou Xinyi frowned, took a few steps forward, looked at these people's eyes full of anger, and hummed: "Look at you, what do you all look like?" Why, don't you believe the words of the young prince? Then can you still trust me Zhou? What's the matter, all the thieves are addicted? What Shaojun Hou said to me Zhou Xin before, I will give it to you now, you don't want to think about yourself, don't you want to think about your family, your parents? ”
"Do you know what the world thinks of us? Yes, they call us thieves! The upper is the thief's father and mother, and the lower is the thief's son and grandson, and he is a thief himself, and he stinks for 800 miles...... If you stand out one by one, people will hide away from you, not because you are very majestic and can scare people away, just because you are thieves and beasts...... At the end of the day, I didn't see you as a person......"
"Now, the young prince has given you the opportunity to be a new person, you still don't cherish it, hesitantly, do you still want to be a thief for the rest of your life? In the future, will your children and grandchildren be thieves all their lives, like you? Let people point at the backbone behind their backs and scold ......"
"Second leader, don't say it, we are willing, willing......"
A group of thieves were ashamed of being scolded by Zhou Xin, all of them were blushing and thick-necked, panting heavily.
If so, who would be a thief?
They are also a group of poor people, who followed Shangguan to create Cao Jun's rebellion, but they just obeyed, but it was not their original intention, they couldn't help themselves, but they blocked the back road. Later, he was defeated, except for following Xia Zhao to fall into the grass and become a thief, he couldn't think of any other way out.
How?
What are they?!
They don't want to be thieves, they don't want people to point fingers at their backs and scold, they don't want to ...... But they didn't have a choice.
They're just little people.
"We're willing to follow!"
A group of thieves, fifty-three, knelt down in unison, and one of the leaders tilted his head and said, "We don't want to be thieves, but the world has forced us to fall here." The reason why he hesitated before was only because he was frightened by the young prince before, so he behaved uncertainly...... I hope the young prince will forgive me. ”
Before killing more than 150 people, Guan Suo had this mental preparation, smiled kindly at the moment, and said: "Guan Mou is not a murderer, nor is he a butcher, of course, if one day in the future, some of you also do things that oppress the good and kill innocents, Guan Mou would rather be a butcher again!" ”
"In the future, if there is a day when my words and deeds are inconsistent, you can stab me in the back!"
The fifty-three people were suddenly heartbroken, and they were so busy that they said in a loud voice: "Don't dare!" ”
They are no longer thieves.
Guan Suo nodded, let them get up, stand aside, and be under the jurisdiction of Zhou Xin. Then he called Zhuang Ding from Lujiazhuang, and after thanking them repeatedly, let them go back.
I went to Lu Jiaozhai and brought them with me.
……
Longcrest Mountain.
At about three o'clock, at the foot of the mountain, a group of people came.
Nearly 200 people, all on horseback, led by three people, all of them were wearing helmets and armor, a group of majesty, a halberd, a sword, and a big axe.
It was Guan Suo and others.
Knowing that his mother and others had fallen in Lu Jiaozhai, Guan Suo was not so anxious, and went back to join the soldiers who stayed behind, a group of nearly 200 people, all the way to Lu Jiaozhai.
"Young Junhou, this is Longcrest Mountain, and the village on the mountain is Lu Jiao Village." On the right hand, Zhou Xin's big knife pointed to the mountain and introduced Guan Suo.
Guan Suo nodded and looked up.
What a mountain!
What a Lu Jiao village!
I saw that the mountain rises from the ground, such as the dragon mist is hidden, only one ridge remains, there is the danger of Huashan, there is the spirit of Hengshan again, the pine and cypress on the mountain, the strange stone is rugged, the end is a good place to go in the good scenery and good mountain.
A wide road leads straight to the mountain, the mountain road is smooth, halfway up the mountainside, a tall pass stands, up to several zhang, two measurements lean against the wall of the mountain, at the pass, the giant crossbow is neat, the swords and guns are clear, the soldiers come and go, hold their heads high, with a strong temperament. There is a big flag in the wind, and there are three big words "Lu Jiaozhai" written on it.
Stepping forward, Guan Suo came to the halfway up the mountain, and when he arrived at the pass, he shouted loudly: "Hedong Guan Suo, come to worship the mountain!" ”
A head poked out from behind the female wall of the gatehouse, first looked at the pass, and then said: "The people below, but they are here for the people Xia Zhao robbed?" ”
"Exactly!"
"My village owner has been waiting for a long time, and the general can go up the mountain by himself!"
After the man had spoken, he gave an order, and then he heard a loud noise, and the door of the fortress opened, and the man poked his head out again, and shouted: "So as not to misunderstand, the general can only take no more than ten people up the mountain, and I hope not to blame." ”
Guan Suo was not surprised, he wanted to come before he came, this time he was the only one to go up the mountain, Lu Jiaozhai's request was in line with his thoughts, and he looked back at Li Yan and Zhou Xindao: "You take people to stay at the bottom of the mountain, and I can go up the mountain." ”
Even if these 200 or so people go up, if there is really an entanglement and a fight, there is not much difference between 200 people and one person, it is nothing more than that they can kill a few more people, but more people die, even so, it is better to go up alone, why implicate others.
"No!"
Zhou Xin urged the horse to come to Guan Suo's side and said, "How can you let the young prince go up the mountain alone?" It was Guan Junhou who went to the meeting single-handedly, and he also brought General Zhou Cang with him...... Although Zhou Xin is not talented, he is also willing to follow General Zhou Cang and go up the mountain with the young monarch and marquis, at least, he can also lead the horse for the young monarch and marquis! ”
"Hahaha!"
Guan Suo laughed loudly, patted Zhou Xin's shoulder, and said, "Okay! , When my father went to the meeting alone, he despised the heroes of Jiangdong and the ancient and modern, how could I, the son, be worse and fall into the prestige of his old man? ”
"Zhou Xin, go up the mountain with so-and-so!"
"Whoa!"
Zhou Xin jumped off the war horse, handed over the reins to the soldiers behind, took Guan Suo's painted dragon and heavenly halberd, connected his big knife and looked at it on his shoulder, and led Guan Suo's war horse with one hand, straightened his chest, raised his head, and strode towards the mountain.
Behind, Li Yan was in awe.
He asked himself, he couldn't do Zhou Xin like this, although he Li Yan was also respectful and loyal.
There is Zhou Cang in front, and Zhou Xin in the back.
In the future, these two men will be told a good story to be recited by the world.
……
Under the guidance of the people in the village, they went all the way to the front of the village.
Someone had already flown up, Guan Suo and Zhou Xin had just arrived, Wang Linggong took someone out to greet him, and from afar, Wang Linggong's hearty laughter came over, "Hahaha, the old man saw the magpie barking on the branches in front of the house this morning, and he was still wondering which noble person was coming, and now that he thinks about it, it should be General Guan Xiao." ”
"The nobleman really doesn't dare to be it, the old village owner, but don't kill the kid, the kid doesn't dare to be ashamed!"
It seems that his identity has also been guessed.
Xia Zhao and they could all guess it, and Wang Linggong also guessed it, which was not surprising, as early as Guan Suo's expectation. Mother is still in the hands of others, Guan Suo did not dare to slack off, busy is dismounting, stepped forward a few steps, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and said: "Hedong Guan Suo, I have seen the old village master Wang." ”
A sincere courtesy, without the slightest fake.
Guan Suo still admires Wang Linggong, although he is a thief, but in the eyes of Guan Suo, who came in later generations, he has nothing, let alone looks down on him.
It's like digging graves, with an official identity, it can be called "excavation", and it also has a glamorous identity. If you don't have an official status, you become a crime, a tomb robber. To put it bluntly, it is a legal and illegal thing, and in the end, not everyone is doing the same thing.
It is true that Wang Linggong is a thief, but what he gets is more distributed to the poor people, even if he is a thief, he is also a thief, worthy of respect.
Didn't later generations spread a "thief" Chu Liuxiang!
Picking up the rope and looking up and down carefully, Wang Linggong couldn't help but admire in his heart, he deserved to be the son of Jiangmen, and he was really a talent!
The heart is full of appreciation.
After rolling in the rivers and lakes for so many years, he has seen and contacted all kinds of people, a pair of eyes have been trained viciously, in a word, the eyelashes are empty, Wang Linggong saw the sincerity in Guan Suo's words at a glance, and his satisfaction with Guan Suo rose in a straight line.
The two exchanged a few words, Guan Suo went straight to the point, and said: "The owner of the village, Guan Suo took the liberty to come, just for his mother, and asked the owner of the village not to embarrass the boy, let my mother go, let my mother and son reunite, he day, Guan Suo will have a return." ”
"Well...... this"
Guan Suo's heart was tight at that time, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Wang Linggong continue: "It's not impossible, it's just that there is a condition here in this village." ”
"On what terms?"
"I had a fight with the old man's two daughters...... As long as the little general can win the little girl, the old man will not say a word, and let your mother and son reunite. ”
