Chapter 262: A plan within a plan
On the morning of October 14, shouts of killing rang out in the camp of the bandits.
Yan Jiegang launched an action to cut off the leaders of Zhao Changba's family of Luzhai, Huan Shihenge beheaded Pan Wei, and Fang Nongshi, Wenshan, and Han Zhilin joined forces to capture Zhao Changba alive.
Such an action is not only carried out in the camp of sending deer villages, but also in other cottage camps that are good friends with sending deer villages.
Due to Yan Jiekun and the others' thorough preparations, the timing of the launch was sudden and ingenious, which caught Zhao Changba off guard, and finally in less than an hour, that is, when the sun had just risen, the incident subsided.
Zhao Changba was taken to the open space in front of the Chinese army's tent, and he was subdued with more than a dozen leaders, some of whom were already seriously injured and were dying, and many more had their tongues cut off.
Zhao Changba's mouth was gagged, his hands and feet were tied firmly, and he couldn't move at all.
Yan Jiegang walked onto the temporary high platform and said loudly: "Last night, XX said that I would give an explanation to all the brothers, and today, I will give an explanation to the brothers!" ā
"The spy, the traitor, the one who gave the Tiqi a tip, the one who killed his own brother and surrendered, he is the one! Zhao Changba! ā
Many of the leaders in the audience were in an uproar and gasped.
Although the early morning fight did not last long, as the leader of the cottage, his keen intuition and judgment of the situation made some people who did not receive the news perceive something, wāww., and these people were very wise to hibernate down.
Of course, it's not without eyes that don't open their eyes, and after hearing the movement, they gather people to make trouble. For this kind of person, if he is on Yan Jiegang's side, he will naturally welcome him with open arms, and if he is on Zhao Changba's side, he will naturally be killed directly.
So nearly half of the people standing here are involved in the action. The remaining half, a considerable part of which can guess what Yan Jiegang meant by the explanation. What's more, Zhao Changba and the others were tied up and held in the middle of the field, which is enough to explain the problem.
It's just a matter of guessing how different it feels compared to hearing it with your own ears.
Yan Jiegang said loudly: "Brothers, you may want to ask, why is it him!" Yes, I also want to ask, why did he do such unkind, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial things! ā
"Have I ever treated him badly?"
Han Zhilin responded loudly: "No! ā
"Have I ever disrespected him?"
"No!" The number of people who answered increased.
"Then why did Zhao Changba betray me?"
"Judge him!"
"Yes, try him! I want him to make it clear! ā
"Let all the brothers see him for what he really is!"
"Get justice for your dead brother!"
"Let him summon all his accomplices! Return my cottage clean! ā
āā
All the leaders angrily reprimanded Zhao Changba, if it wasn't for Yan Jiegang sending his own soldiers to stop him, everyone would have stepped forward to tear Zhao Changba alive.
Whether it is a bandit or a horse bandit, an official or a normal person, a traitor is always the most shameful person and the one who can arouse people's anger the most. Yan Jiekun suddenly made a difficulty, preconceived, and led people's first thinking to "Zhao Changba is a traitor", took the opportunity to build momentum, and occupied the absolute initiative in a short period of time.
Zhao Changba struggled hard under the suppression of the two big men, and the fierce light was revealed. It's just that at this time, his anger is more like the fear and panic of the poor dagger in the eyes of everyone.
Han Zhilin stepped forward and ripped off the cloth ball in Zhao Changba's mouth, and as soon as Zhao Changba's mouth was untied, he scolded.
"Yan Jiekun! Despicable villain! Lao Tzu is not a traitor! You're the traitor! You spew blood, dare to frame Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill your whole family"
"Smack!" Heng Niu stepped forward and kicked Zhao Changba, who was kneeling and scolding, to the ground.
"Dog (Harmony Light) mother's crumbs! Will my brother be a traitor? You're the traitor! When death is dying, I still want to bite people! Look grandpa doesn't kill you! ā
"Slow down!" Yan Jiegang shouted, stopped Hengniu, looked around, ignored Zhao Changba, who was still scolding on the ground, pressed his hands weakly, and said in a clear voice: "Zhao Changba is the internal response of Tiqi, there is no doubt about it!" The informant and correspondence he contacted with Tiqi were actually intercepted by me four days ago, but at that time, I couldn't believe that he Zhao Changba, the sworn brother in the third position of my Taihang Mountain Cottage, could be a spy! ā
"In order to avoid startling the snake, and in order to confirm the facts, I chose to withhold it, I was expecting him to turn back, and I was willing to hide his mistakes for him for the sake of the cottage plan. But I don't want to, he, Zhao Changba, not only didn't stop the trouble, but intensified! As a result, my cottage has lost tens of thousands of brothers! Just last night, I provoked a lot of copycat brothers! I can't bear it! So today, take him down and hand him over to the brothers! ā
After Yan Jiegang finished speaking, he pulled out the saber, stuck it on the ground, and shouted: "Today, I swear to kill the traitor!" ā
"Swear to kill the traitor!"
"Kill him!"
"A thousand cuts!"
āā
"Hahahaha" Zhao Changba struggled to kneel on the ground, looked at the brothers around him who hated to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and said with a smile: "Yan Jiekun, you keep saying that Lao Tzu is a traitor, you have evidence, then you take it out!" Let the brothers see if it was written by Lao Tzu or if you forged it yourself! ā
"What is the danger of adding sin? You framed me, it's just that I disagreed with you before! In order to consolidate your power and exclude dissidents, you have eliminated all those who have joined us one by one! Dye your crown red with our blood! Lao Tzu traitor, how do you prove that Lao Tzu is a traitor! ā
Yan Jiegang smiled faintly: "Evidence? Well, I'll give you proof! ā
After receiving a stack of letters handed over by his own soldiers behind him, Yan Jiegang threw them in front of Zhao Changba and shouted: "This is the evidence of your fornication with the thief!" ā
Wen Shan, Han Zhilin and others also shouted: "Look what else you have to say!" The evidence is conclusive, can you still deny it? ā
"Let people compare the handwriting and recognize it!"
Zhao Changba smiled sadly and indignantly, and said: "Hehehehe, who doesn't know that Xiao Wu Qiwenshan is good at calligraphy, and copying and copying can be real?" If you want to kill me, you will be fully prepared for it."
"Hmph, Zhao Changba, don't quibble! Keep saying that Brother Gongming framed you, what evidence do you have? Brother Gongming worked hard for the cottage, turning a plate of scattered Taihang Mountain into a powerful party with tens of thousands of subordinates, and leading my Taihang Mountain brothers to the top, which is a great merit! Brother Gongming is determined to be in the world, will he attack his own brother for those flies and dogs in your eyes? ā
"Zhao Changba is a traitor, there is no doubt! When he first heard that Tiqi had arrived in Jincheng, my army had not moved, so he encouraged some people to say that the court was powerful, and it was not possible to start a war lightly, so he must have been playing a trap on us from then on! ā
"Yes, yes! After that, he pretended to attack the city, presumably the siege was also a show, and your informant should have passed on my cottage's every move to the riders in those days! Those Tiqi killers should have been caught up in your remnants! ā
"It turned out to be premeditated! Brothers! Such disloyal, unkind, unrighteous and unfilial people, we will kill them! ā
"You have long been jealous of Gongming's brother's position and want to replace him, and you yourself are talentless, virtuous and incompetent, and you know that you will never be able to succeed! So you can only take refuge in the imperial court, be the lackey of Tiqi, and bring us all into a desperate situation, as your advanced vote! ā
"Such a despicable villain, shameless traitor! In vain I used to call you brothers! ā
"Kill him! Avenge your dead brother! ā
āā
Zhao Changba smiled weakly, he looked at the people around him, and knew that he would definitely die today.
There were also people around him who had befriended him and who had received favors from him, but at this time, everyone stood on the opposite side of him, brandishing the sword in his hand, and wanted to kill himself.
Naturally, he was not a traitor, and it was impossible for him to count everyone from the beginning. Counting everyone, only Yan Jiegang is the only one.
Although he is cruel and murderous, he is definitely not an ordinary reckless man, and he is still quite insightful about the situation. Only this time, he didn't expect Yan Jiegang to be so bold to attack his own people.
The bandits of Taihang Mountain have always been a great disaster for the Jin Kingdom, but they have not attracted enough attention from the Jin Emperor. Even after the Handan tragedy, the influence of the Taihang Mountain bandits could not withstand the Shandong horse bandits.
This is related to the geography of Taihang Mountain and the dispersion of forces.
If you are scattered, you can't make a big deal, so the Jin court can sit idly by. However, once the Taihang Mountain bandits are unified, they will inevitably face the outcome of being wiped out by the imperial court, and the unified bandits are far more threatening than the divided bandits who are constantly strife, and the court is more willing to see a Taihang Mountain bandit who will only fight in the nest and will not cause trouble to the Great Jin, rather than a bandit with a complete system and one heart.
In this regard, the Shandong horse bandits did better than Yan Jiegang.
This is the truth that he realized after Tiqi released the news. That's why he tried his best to prevent the attack on Jincheng and not to challenge the bottom line of the Jin court. But by then it was too late.
Yan Jiegang is an ambitious person, but his ambition will destroy everyone.
Before everyone was destroyed, he Zhao Changba was just the one who died more soberly.
Zhao Changba gave up resistance.
The few who died by touching the pillar were right, they went first.
They went, and then it was us.
We went, and it was you in the end.
His head was stepped into the soil, Zhao Changba stopped resisting, his heart was dead.
Several shirtless men stripped Zhao Changba naked, then washed his body with spirits and covered it with fishing nets.
The mesh of the fishing net stretched out pieces of bulging quadrilateral muscles on Zhao Changba's muscle-coiled body.
Ling Chi.
Zhao Changba's eyes were blank, there was no fear and trembling, and he did not see death as home.
"It's exposed, it's hopeless"
"I expected that there would be today"
"Sacrifice his dead brother with the blood of his heart!"
"Hearts and blood dipped in steamed buns to cure all diseases"
On the morning of October 14, the tired Xie Shence was woken up by General Secretary Yang.
"Lord Admiral, some of the bandits have surrendered!"
"Oh what? The bandits surrendered? Xie Shence was taken aback.
General Secretary Yang said: "It's not the bandits who surrendered, Lord Admiral, it's someone who surrendered. ā
"Oh" Xie Shence rubbed his head and said, "How many people surrendered?" Can there be a petition for nomination? How much silver will we have to pay according to the conditions we have given? ā
Mr. Yang looked at Xie Shence, who was still a little sober, and hurriedly beckoned outward, and immediately four maidservants came up to serve Xie Shence and dressed and washed.
When Xie Shence was dressing, General Secretary Yang said: "Back to the Admiral, I didn't vote for my name." ā
"Didn't vote? What kind of surrender is that? Killed all. ā
Mr. Yang hurriedly explained: "There is no vote, but that person brought a thousand people to surrender!" ā
"A thousand? Who is it? ā
"Yin Zhonghe."
Xie Shence was stunned for a moment.
Yin Zhonghe? Xie Shence thought for a moment, and then said, "It turned out to be him, where are they now?" ā
General Secretary Yang said: "All of them were confiscated, except for clothes, and arranged in the big school field. In order to prevent fraud, the black armor guard personally took care of it. ā
Xie Shence finished washing, ate two bowls of broken rice porridge brought by the maidservant, nibbled on two more steamed buns with pickles, and went to the school field with Mr. Yang.
When I came to the colonel's field, I saw that more than 1,000 people were placed in the colonel's yard, wearing only calf-nosed pants, not even shoes and socks, surrounded by soldiers with large shields and spears and archers.
Mi Yu pointed to a middle-aged man who was kneeling cross-legged at the front for Xie Shence, and said, "Lord Admiral, that is Yin Zhonghe." ā
With a white face and a slight beard, and a long body, if it weren't for the blood stains and scars on his body, Yin Zhonghe would look more like a scholar.
Xie Shence stepped forward and asked, "You are Yin Zhonghe?" ā
Yin Zhonghe got up and saw the black admiral suit on Xie Shence's body, which was different from the ordinary Tiqi mandarin duck suit, and knew that the young man in front of him was the Tiqi Commander Xie Shence.
Humbly bowing his head, Yin Zhonghe bent down and replied: "Back to Lord Admiral, the villain is Yin Zhonghe, and today he will lead a thousand cronies to surrender to Lord Admiral." ā
Xie Shence smiled: "These thousand people are all the votes you gave me?" If you bring a living person here, you might as well bring your head directly. The living Admiral Ben is still in charge of rations, and now that we ourselves are not enough to eat, how can we have food for you? Do you really make Admiral Ben doubt the sincerity of your surrender, are you here to deceive us, or are you here to bring us down? ā
Yin Zhonghe said in a low voice: "No, the villain is sincere and has no two hearts." ā
"How do you prove it?"
"The wounds on the villain are proof of that!"
Xie Shence looked at the injuries on Yin Zhonghe's body with interest and said, "Tell me? ā
Yin Zhonghe breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In recent days, under the clever plan of the Admiral, our mountain and bandits have suffered heavy casualties, the morale of the army is turbulent, and internal contradictions have arisen. In order to break the adult's divisive plan, Yan Jiegang turned to attack the brothers who opposed the continued war. In the early morning of this day, Yan Jiegang launched a purge under the pretext that Zhao Changba was a spy of Lord Admiral, and dozens of brothers were killed. The villain was not angry in his heart, so he said a few more words, but he was suspicious of Yan Jiegang, saying that the villain may have been rebelled early. Because the first target of the Admiral's attack was to use the guise made by the villain's men. Yan Jiegang was extremely suspicious, his strength was narrow, and he killed Zhao Changba and others just because of disagreement, and the villain thought that he was suspicious, and sooner or later he would not escape his poisonous hands, so he brought his cronies from the headquarters, and went out of the camp under the pretext of defecting to the Admiral. ā
"You are the military commander Yin Zhonghe, how can you get injured when you leave the camp under the pretext of leaving the camp? Did they do it to you? ā
Yin Zhonghe sighed and said, "Lord Admiral is really like a god! It turned out that Yan Jiegang had already become suspicious of me, and arranged three hundred cavalry on the periphery, in order to prevent the villain from escaping, the villain was injured when he broke through, the hateful villain was loyal to him, he didn't take my brother a long time ago, if the villain didn't leave early, I'm afraid he would have followed in the footsteps of Zhao Changba! Thousands of my brothers who were born and died will also be poisoned! ā
Xie Shence looked at Yin Zhonghe's shoulders that were trembling slightly because of anger, and said, "In this way, are you sincere?" ā
"Sincerity, God can learn from it, as long as the adults treat these brothers of the villain kindly, Yin Zhonghe is willing to be a pawn under the Admiral, but if there is a life, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will never give up!"
"Good! In that case, I will take good care of these brothers of yours, and you can kill yourself now! ā
"Villain Lord Admiral, I, the villain killed himself?"
Xie Shence glanced at Yin Zhonghe strangely and said, "Yes, didn't you say that you will never give up if you have a life?" Admiral Ben doesn't want you to die 10,000 times, as long as you do it once, it's a sign of trust, how about it? ā
After Xie Shence finished speaking, General Secretary Yang threw a straight knife in front of Yin Zhonghe.
Yin Zhonghe's eyes widened, he picked up the straight knife with difficulty, pulled out the blade, and put his hands tremblingly on his neck.
Do you really want to die?
"The Admiral really kept his promise, and he is not guilty of my brothers?"
"Admiral Ben's words, the horses are hard to chase!"
"Can the Admiral and the villain be buried in a thin wooden coffin after death?"
"Admiral Ben still has this money, don't worry that you won't be exposed to the wilderness."
"I believe in the Admiral."
Yin Zhonghe turned his head and said to the thousand bandits: "Brothers! After I go, you must obey the orders of the Admiral, and under the leadership of the Admiral, avenge the unjust death of your brothers! ā
After Yin Zhonghe finished speaking, the thieves all cried loudly with tears in their eyes.
"Yin Shuai, no"
"Yin Shuai brothers, I can't live without you!"
"If I want to die, I am willing to die with Yin Shuai!"
"Don't want to live together, but want to die together!"
"But please die together!"
āā
"Shut up!" Yin Zhonghe yelled: "Death is death, a certain person can see the blue sky before he dies, it's worth it!" Don't cry for me! ā
After saying that, Yin Zhonghe suddenly increased the force in his hand, and the straight knife slammed into his neck
With a "dang chang", the straight knife fell to the ground, and Yin Zhonghe looked at Xie Shence in disbelief.
"Lord Admiral, this is"
"I believe that those who are willing to die for their brothers, since you can die for them, then Admiral Ben has given them a way to live, and you can die for Admiral Ben. You've earned the trust of Admiral. ā
Xie Shence turned to leave.
Yin Zhonghe's eyes were blank, and cold sweat fell from his forehead and dripped on the instep of his feet, which was cool.
"Your life is Admiral's."
Yin Zhonghe's ears heard the voice of Xie Shence drifting away.
"The villain, Lord Admiral, will not kill! I am willing to work for the Admiral, and serve the dogs and horses! ā
Yin Zhonghe threw himself to the ground, buried his head deep in the ground, and almost shouted out this sentence.
Mr. Yang waited for Xie Shence to go away, pulled up Yin Zhonghe, and said with a smile: "Yin Shuai, please get up, please get up, since this is the case, Yin Shuai will be my Tiqi person in the future, and you and my colleagues will be closer and closer."
Yin Zhonghe was shocked when he heard this, and said: "The villain has now abandoned his former identity, just call him by his name, and the Lord General can no longer be called a gangster." And listening to the meaning of the Chief Division, does the Admiral want to bring the villain under the command of the Cavalry Division? The villain's ability is meager, and his knowledge is ugly, I'm afraid"
General Secretary Yang smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Brother Yin doesn't need to worry, everything is up to the Admiral." ā
Yin Zhonghe was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
When General Secretary Yang instructed Tiqi to take Yin Zhonghe and the others to other places to settle down, Yin Zhonghe was happy on the surface, but he had a faint bad feeling in his heart.
It seems that everything is not exactly the same as what he and Yan Jiegang planned
(ps: I took the time to watch "The Theory of Everything" today, and I feel very good, I recommend it, Stephen Hawking, it's very touching.) It's a chapter today, good night~. ~ļ¼
