Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Test of the Knife (6)
In fact, most of the Yellow Turban thieves under the city were plundered by the people, coerced and helpless to attack the city, and they themselves did not want to fight, coupled with the long-term inability to conquer, they all had a cowardly heart, but behind them was a large army of Yellow Turban thieves, and no one dared to be the first to escape.
Zhang Wei jumped down from the city, and then fell to the ground quietly, the yellow turban thief thought it was a corpse thrown from the city, but he didn't pay attention, and suddenly felt that the figure flashed, and a gust of wind blew, and the corpse was gone.
The Yellow Turban Thieves were already in a loose formation and had no rules, so Zhang Wei rushed through the front formation without much effort and reached the middle formation.
A burly general at the head of the middle formation, wearing wolf skin armor and a steel fork in his hand, was dispatching the yellow turban thief, suddenly he felt a gust of cold wind coming, he habitually shortened, dodged Zhang Wei's blow, he just wanted to call the guards, but only shouted a word, and he felt a pain in his chest and flew backwards.
His huge body, like a small mountain, blocked the sunlight and knocked down three or four unsuspecting Yellow Turban thieves, and he had to get up and fight, only to feel a salty mouthful, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then the heavens and the earth spun and fell to the ground.
Some of the general's cronies, seeing that the lord was about to be killed, they all lit up their blades to intercept Zhang Wei, but before the blades could be cut down, they were bounced away by a stream of air, and even people with weapons were far away.
Seeing that there was some commotion in the middle of the formation, the soldiers in the rear knew that the enemy was coming, so they raised their swords one after another, and rushed over when the leader gave an order.
I saw the commotion in the middle from far to near, and a man in soldier armor, like a tiger and a flock of sheep, was invincible, rushing straight to the rear, and along the way, yellow turbans with blood flew all over the sky.
There were three people standing in front of the rear formation, who were the commanders of the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou: Wang Bo, Liang Yu and Hu Xing.
It was his idea to rob the villagers, hold their families hostage, and coerce the people to be cannon fodder for him to attack the city.
Zhang Wei stood still, coldly looking at a large number of these three people, before he could speak, Hu Xing shouted and rushed up with a knife, although this Hu Xing has some kung fu, he is just a reckless background, and he has no adventures without the guidance of a famous person, but he has become a leader with his bravery.
Zhang Wei's eyes stared straight at the other two, as if he didn't see Hu Xing, at the moment when Hu Xing's big knife was about to cut his helmet, his figure flashed, and Hu Xing flew up with a punch, and the big knife took off his hand, and he slammed it on the ground in an arc in the air, although it was not fatal, but it was not lightly injured, lying on the ground and whispering**, he couldn't even sit up.
Liang Yu saw that Zhang Wei defeated Hu Xing with one move, and he was horrified, he took a step forward, clenched his fists with both hands, and pretended to be calm: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Why did you pretend to be a sergeant to go on this trip to the troubled waters? ”
He saw that Zhang Wei had beaten Hu Xing with one move, and naturally knew that Zhang Wei was by no means a mediocre hand, let alone an ordinary soldier, so he was also much more polite in his words, he swept his eyes and signaled the other soldiers not to move.
He is indeed smart, because even if those sergeants rush up, they may not be able to hurt Zhang Wei in the slightest, but if he arouses his murderous intent, he is afraid that there is no one to be his opponent at the moment, and he can only hope that more and more Yellow Turban soldiers will gather to besiege him, and when the time is ripe, there may be a few chances of victory.
How did Zhang Wei know what Liang Yu was thinking in his heart, but seeing this person's respectful expression, his hostility couldn't help but disappear a little:
"I'm just a nobody, even if I say it, I'm afraid that the owner has never heard of it, so I don't mention it."
"It's just that when I passed by here on the lower road, I saw someone robbing the villagers, arrogant and domineering, and my heart was uneven, so I helped him. In my humble opinion, instead of letting your brothers bleed in vain, it is better to make a break between us, if I win, I will also bother a few people to dismiss their subordinates, return to their hometowns to farm, and live this life in peace! ”
"Haha, hahaha!" Liang Yu laughed loudly, as if he had heard some joke.
"What are you laughing at? Am I not right? ”
"Seeing that Your Excellency has delicate skin, not like a coarse person like me, you must also be a child of a rich family, how can you rich people understand the sadness of our poor people? If we still have land to plant and food to eat, who wants to walk on the tip of a knife all day long, doing business with today and no tomorrow? Isn't it that the local wealthy clan is too much of a bully? ”
"Since you are from a poor background, why should you be embarrassed by the fact that you are also from a poor village? What is the difference between what you have done and the great families who oppressed you in the first place? ”
Liang Yu snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhang Wei's analogy:
"Hmph, people are cheap bones, the more you show weakness to him, the more he bullies you, if you are more fierce than him, he is at your mercy, this is the truth of troubled times. If it weren't for your strong martial arts, you might as well inquire, how many people dare to stand in front of me Liang Yu and talk to me so loudly? I'm afraid that the corpse will be on the spot a long time ago! ”
Zhang Wei smiled helplessly:
"What you said is just some excuses, who said that the strong must bully the weak, and even if the weak succumb to obscenity, it is just a compromise, when the time is ripe, it will inevitably fight back, is this day of worrying about life is what you want? If I say, if you want to become a real strong man, you need not only force, but also a generous heart, so that everyone will follow you willingly! ”
"A generous heart? Can a merciful heart help me conquer a city? Look at the current situation, but our army is pressing, and how ridiculous it is to talk about leniency on the battlefield! ”
"You are wrong, your strength is ten times that of the defenders in the city, but not only can you not conquer it for a long time, but also suffer heavy losses, not because there are any masters in the city to defend it, but because of Kuanren, the forgiveness of the people in the city is that the whole city is united and naturally as a rock. Look at the soldiers in front of your formation, all of them have ghosts in their hearts, if it weren't for your rear army to suppress the formation, I'm afraid that they would have scattered and fled long ago, can this kind of battle last long? ”
This sentence seemed to touch something in Liang Yu's heart, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, without words.
The two were talking, and there was a sudden chaos in the front, and then dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers ran over in a hurry, and the sergeant who took the lead saw Liang Yu and hurriedly bowed down: "The lord of the village, those coolies in the front battle have turned against the water, they actually secretly communicated with the defenders in the city, and now they have killed the Chinese army without a master, and the soldiers have come over..."
He ran out of breath, and it took him a long time to finish this sentence, and he saw Zhang Wei wearing a Han army uniform, and said that the enemy had killed him so quickly, and he was so frightened that he stumbled.
"You can believe what I said this time, the so-called enlightened people have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it. The matter has come to this point, please make a quick decision in charge of Liang Da, don't be brave for a while, and send the soldiers around you who sincerely follow you to a dead end! ”
Zhang Wei struck while the iron was hot, he didn't want too many people to be killed or injured, if it could be said that Liang Yu took the initiative to give up, it would be much better than killing a few hundred more people, and the Yellow Turban Army would resurrect in the end, at this time he actually had some understanding, and seemed to understand the reason why Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu but did not kill him.
"Big brother, this little white face hurt our brother with a shot, and now he is talking nonsense here, disturbing people's eyes and ears, big brother must not be fooled!" Wang Bo saw that Liang Yu was shaken, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Although Zhang Wei hated him for making trouble at this time, he couldn't make a rash move, otherwise wouldn't all his previous words become empty talk?
He was anxious, but he saw Liang Yu bow his head and ponder for a while, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhang Wei with firm and expectant eyes, suddenly fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Your Excellency understands the righteousness, we are willing to change our hearts and follow left and right!" ”
"Hmph, Liang Yu, you anti-bone thief, I knew you were not trustworthy a long time ago, but now you are deceived by this little white face and surrendered in a few words! If I want to vote for you, I will never be a bad seed! ”
Wang Bo deliberately said loudly behind Liang Yu, making him mistakenly think that he was angry, but in fact, he quietly pulled out the saber at his waist and slowly raised it above Liang Yu's head.
But he forgot that although Liang Yu couldn't see his small movements, Zhang Wei, who was standing opposite, could see it clearly.
At the moment when Wang Bo's knife was about to fall, Zhang Wei took a step forward, raised the spear forward with his right hand, and the blades intersected, blocking Wang Bo's blade.
In fact, if you want to kill Wang Bo, it is effortless, Zhang Wei is fast, as long as the spear pierces Wang Bo's heart, it can naturally have the miraculous effect of killing people and saving people, but he wants Liang Yu to see clearly: how fragile the so-called alliance in exchange for strength is.
Liang Yu was taken aback when he heard a strange sound in his back, he instinctively rolled on the spot and dodged to the side:
"Wang Bo, you prostitute, I thought you were really willing to advance and retreat with me, but I didn't expect you to be a duplicitous villain!"
He roared angrily, drew his broadsword and slashed off Wang Bo's head.
He raised the bloody head high and shouted to the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him:
"We were not born thieves, and we should not be thieves in the future, if we do something wrong, we must make up for our mistakes and accumulate some virtue for our children and grandchildren! There is also a brother of conscience, follow this brother with me to create a career together, if you want to go home, I won't stop you, but if someone still wants to be a thief, don't blame me Liang Yu's subordinates for being ruthless! ”
Most of Wang Bo's men ambushed Bao Xin in the valley, and only a few dozen people participated in the siege, and now that the thief leader is dead, how dare the others say more, hurriedly drop their blades, and fall to the ground:
"We are willing to surrender and follow the strong man!"
Not to mention Liang Yu's subordinates, the leaders have already spoken, and everyone naturally obeys.
In this way, a bloody storm was resolved by Zhang Wei in a few words, and this matter became his talk for a long time.
