Chapter 360: Immortal Law
"Oh my God," throwing the brush in his hand on the table, Zhang Yi patted his forehead, and muttered: "This group of captives consumes so much food a day, where are the prisoners, this is a group of rice buckets, it is depressed to death." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In order to solve the problem of the captives, Zhang Yi didn't sleep all night, he carefully calculated the food consumed by these captives every day, and found that the grain and grass he captured were enough to last for two months at most, if he didn't solve the problem of these captives, Zhang Yi undoubtedly put a huge burden on his back, but if he really wanted to kill these captives, Zhang Yi was really a little unbearable.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yi wrote a letter to Sima Wei and Chen Gong, and at the end of the two letters, they were each embellished with a sentence: "This problem is a problem that our army urgently needs to solve, I hope Mr. will think carefully, do not delay, if there is no reply within three days, I will take extreme measures to solve the future trouble."
The extreme means Zhang Yi said was naturally "killing", he believed that Sima Wei and Chen Gong could understand, so he didn't break it, and added such a sentence, Zhang Yi wanted Sima Wei and Chen Gong to understand the seriousness of the problem, but at the same time, he really had such thoughts.
In fact, for the disposal of these prisoners, Zhang Yi also thought about picking out the strong ones, training them and then forming a new army, after all, these prisoners of war have some experience in the army, and it is easier to train them than to train recruits, but Zhang Yi is worried that the hands of these Yellow Turban prisoners of war are definitely stained with the blood of a lot of innocent people, although it cannot be said that they are all burned, killed, looted, and plundered, but Zhang Yi deduced that most of these people have done those things, and Zhang Yi guesses that many of these people must have been born as robbers. This can be seen from Zhang Bao's previous recruitment of horse bandits, so Zhang Yi was reluctant to turn them into his own soldiers.
In addition to being jealous of their "case record", Zhang Yi also expressed deep doubts about whether he could train them into a qualified soldier of the Dingping Army, people said that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, the combat quality of these Yellow Turban soldiers, Zhang Yi saw it clearly on the battlefield before, if you want to correct their wandering and war-fearing nature, Zhang Yi feels that this can not be changed overnight, and now the war situation is changing rapidly, Zhang Yi cannot stay in Zhuojun for a long time for these prisoners.
Even if he took 10,000 steps back, Zhang Yi collected those sturdy prisoners of war, but what about those Yellow Turban soldiers who had passed the prime of life and were still in their youth? Killed? Zhang Yi couldn't bear it and let it go? That's even more impossible, Zhang Yi can think with his toes, as soon as he is released here, a large part of those people will definitely return to the Yellow Turban Army, and some will definitely fall into the grass, after all, they are already considered to have a "case record", and they will definitely not have any psychological burden if they "return to their old business", and once they make trouble with the Yellow Turban thieves, they must have no home, and people who are homeless and have a case record, what can they do?
It is precisely because there are so many reasons that Zhang Yi doesn't know what to do, but Zhang Yi is not a brainless person, he can't think of it himself, so he simply doesn't want to, and directly pushes the problem to Sima Wei and Chen Gong and let them find a way.
After calling Han Tao to arrange the task of delivering the letter, Zhang Yi ordered him to bring Cheng Yuanzhi up.
Cheng Yuanzhi was not killed by Guan Yu and the others, Guan Yu's horses were almost the same, except for Zhang Fei's black horse, Guan Yu and Dian Wei's mounts were all peerless, so they all caught up with Cheng Yuanzhi, and after catching up with Cheng Yuanzhi, Cheng Yuanzhi was immediately so frightened that he fell off the horse, and almost did not do anything to resist, and for those who did not resist, Guan Yu and the three of them didn't even have the mind to kill him, plus Guan Yu considered how Cheng Yuanzhi said that he was also the enemy's commander, and if he was caught back, he might be able to ask for some information. So Cheng Yuanzhi was captured alive.
Looking at Cheng Yuanzhi, who had been beaten and his face was swollen, he glanced at the information that came out of Cheng Yuanzhi's mouth, Zhang Yi smiled coldly: "Cheng Yuanzhi, don't be careful with me, if you want to save your life, just tell everything you know, otherwise, hum, Ben Hou will definitely let you understand what life is better than death." ”
After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Cheng Yuanzhi, who was originally kneeling on the ground and trembling, suddenly stopped shaking, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yi, and after finding that Zhang Yi was actually a young man, his face showed a puzzled expression, he didn't expect that the general who led the Han army to defeat his tens of thousands of horses would be so young.
Cheng Yuanzhi's expression, Zhang Yi saw it really clearly, he smiled and asked, "What?" Does Ben Hou have flowers on his face? Worth staring at for so long? ”
"That's not it," shaking his head, Cheng Yuanzhi said with a smile: "I thought that the Han general who defeated me should be a battle-hardened veteran, but I didn't expect the general to be so young, it's really unseemly, I ......"
"Okay, don't pat yourself on the back," interrupting Cheng Yuanzhi, who wanted to continue to praise himself, Zhang Yi banged on the table and said: "Tell me everything you know, I guarantee that you can live, and the crimes you committed before can also be written off, but don't fool me with the trivial things written above, and don't try to deceive me by pretending to be weak." ”
After seeing the confession confessed by Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhang Yi concluded that Cheng Yuanzhi did not confess honestly, and in fact, Cheng Yuanzhi did not reveal all the core secrets he knew, because he felt that once he told everything he knew, he would definitely not be far from his death, so what he confessed was indeed like what Zhang Yi said, it was all trivial things, and he kept pretending that he was afraid of death and weak, in order to let the people who guarded him relax their vigilance. He was looking for a chance to escape, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to see through his disguise at a glance.
How did Zhang Yi see through Cheng Yuanzhi's disguise at a glance? This is naturally related to Zhang Yi's experience in the previous life, in the previous life, Cheng Yuanzhi, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, etc., these Yellow Turban generals who were called Qu Shuai by Zhang Jiao, and even Deng Mao, who was killed by himself before, and Bu Ji, who was killed today, Zhang Yi knows a little, although they each have their own shortcomings, and their strength and intelligence value are not very high, but they are definitely hard bones and smart people, otherwise how could Zhang Jiao hand over the army to their command.
After being told by Zhang Yi, Cheng Zhiyuan stopped pretending, he changed his kneeling posture to a sitting position, sat directly on the ground and looked at Zhang Yi with his head held high, and after seeing his movements, the two personal soldiers guarding behind him immediately shouted boldly and raised their feet to kick him, but they were stopped by Zhang Yi.
Waving his hand to let the two pro-soldiers step aside, Zhang Yi leaned forward and asked Cheng Yuanzhi with interest: "How is it?" Figured it out? After thinking about it, I said, I promise you can live, and your previous sins will be written off. ”
"Guaranteed to live? A write-off? Hmph, say it easily," pursed his lips disdainfully, Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Zhang Yi unruly, pouted and said, "Who do you think you are?" Gelding or Dog Emperor? It's just that big ...... you have."
"My name is Zhang Yi, and I'm sure you've heard my name."
Zhang Yi smiled and reported his name, and after hearing the word Zhang Yi, Cheng Yuanzhi was stunned.
"Zhang Yi? Zhang Yi ......" After chanting Zhang Yi's name a few times, Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly shouted: "General Pingbei, wait for Zhang Yi?" That Zhang Yi who recovered the four counties from the Xianbei people? ”
"It's like a fake," After nodding a little smugly, Zhang Yi suddenly asked Cheng Yuanzhi: "Anyway, it's so clear on my banner, can't you see it?" ”
"That...... I don't know how to read," smiled awkwardly, Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly said excitedly: "If that's the case, then I will believe you, I believe that you can save my life, but I still need some guarantees, after all, it is common for people in the government to turn their faces ruthlessly." ”
Cheng Yuanzhi, who was afraid that he would die after telling the secrets he knew, was still very uneasy about Zhang Yi, after all, people only have one life, and he had to be careful.
"Looks like there's a door!"
Cheng Yuanzhi's words made Zhang Yi realize that Cheng Yuanzhi's mouth was looser than he imagined, so after he muttered, he leaned his body back on the chair, and pretended to be relaxed: "If you want to guarantee, kneel down and kowtow directly, and serve me as the master, this is the best guarantee." ”
"Good!"
As soon as Zhang Yi spoke, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, startling Zhang Yi.
"You're quite casual," calmed down his mood, Zhang Yi deliberately said with a straight face: "You said that you have rebelled, and when you turn around, others are arresting you, will you also defect immediately." ”
Zhang Yi is deliberately teasing Cheng Yuanzhi, he has loyalty skills, how can he be so easy to rebel.
After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Cheng Yuanzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly embarrassedly, and continued: "What Hou Ye said, isn't there such a saying, tell people to go to a high place, right, besides, with your immortal law binding me, how can I betray you, if I rebel, won't I ......?"
"Wait!"
After drinking Cheng Yuanzhi's words, Zhang Yi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What did you say?" Immortal law binds you? Do you mean loyalty? ”
"Yes," nodded, Cheng Yuanzhi blinked and asked Zhang Yi, "What?" Isn't it? ”
"Yes, but how do you know?"
"I don't know this, anyway, if I kowtow to Hou Ye, I'll know."
"Hizz~"
Cheng Yuanzhi's words made Zhang Yi chuckle in his heart, he suddenly sounded Deng Mao's words before, and a strange thought rose in his heart, he felt that these generals of the Yellow Turban Army might have some secrets that they didn't know, otherwise how would they know their skills, and Sima Wei and Guan Yu didn't know it.
Regarding the question of whether Guan Yu and others knew their loyalty skills, Zhang Yi once asked everyone on the side, and almost all of them answered that they didn't know, or couldn't understand Zhang Yi's words, so Zhang Yi was very sure that they didn't know, but Deng Mao and Cheng Yuanzhi knew, which made Zhang Yi extremely puzzled.
What Zhang Yi was thinking in his heart, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't know, and he didn't have the heart to know, he was in a hurry to show loyalty to Zhang Yi now.
Kneeling up straight, Cheng Yuanzhi smiled, and said sincerely: "Please rest assured, whether or not there is a fairy law to bind me, I Cheng Fei will follow you, in other words, if you can follow Hou Ye to make contributions, who wants to be a thief." ”
"No," Zhang Yi, who came back to his senses, shook his head and said to Cheng Yuanzhi: "I accept you, I still want to be a thief, you have to do this......"
On the night when Zhang Yi finished arraignment of Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhang Yi interrogated hundreds of Yellow Turban prisoners in batches overnight, and it was not until dawn that Zhang Yi fell asleep under Han Tao's constant supervision.
When Zhang Yi was sleeping, at Wuhan Pass, a hundred miles away, another team of the Dingping Army encountered the Yellow Turban Army.
According to the order of General Zhang Yi, the Dingping Army divided its troops into fifteen routes, from Fenyang, Daijun and Yuyang into Youzhou, Zhang Yi led the five roads from Daijun to Youzhou, Sima Wei led the five roads from Yuyang, Chen Gong commanded the five roads from Fenyang, and encountered the enemy at Wuhan Pass, which was a branch under Zhang Yi, the leader of the troops would be Xiao Wu, and the vanguard was Lu Bu.
Why did Zhang Yi let Lu Bu partner with Xiao Wu? Lu Bu's ability, Zhang Yi knows, although he is impulsive and aggressive, but he also knows a lot about the art of war, and it is not a problem to command the troops all the way, but Zhang Yi also knows that once Lu Bu encounters the enemy, he must be at the forefront, and once he kills the red eye, then he doesn't care about anything, he has the Xuanjin armor to protect himself, and he also holds a divine weapon in his hand, so he is naturally not afraid of any strong enemy. So Zhang Yi had to find someone who could restrain him to be with him.
Lu Bu can't be commanded by others, even Sima Wei and Chen Gong can't, so at first Zhang Yi wanted to tie Lu Bu to his side, but Zhang Yi was worried that Zhang Fei would make a mistake, so Zhang Fei had to take it with him, and Zhang Lu had never dealt with each other, Zhang Yi was afraid that the two would be bad when they got together, so he could only choose one of the two, Zhang Yi was worried at that time, and later Xiao Wu and Zhang Yi bragged about how powerful her soldiers were, how to defeat the Hundred Beast Battalion, Zhang Yi decided to let Xiao Wu partner with Lu Bu, of course, Zhang Yi also arranged this for the sake of Xiao Wu's safety, because he knew that Xiao Wu would not obediently stay in the rear, rather than waiting for her to sneak out with the troops, he might as well arrange things to do, so that at least Zhang Yi would know where she was and what she was doing.
But will Xiao Wu really fight according to Zhang Yi's orders? Of course not, Xiao Wu and Lu Bu's appearance in Wuhan Pass is the best proof, because according to Zhang Yi's order, they should be diverted to Jizhou at this moment, and they will not encounter a brigade of Yellow Turban Army like this one along the way, to be precise, since entering Youzhou, in fact, Xiao Wu and Lu Bu have not encountered any decent Yellow Turban Army, this time they heard that the Yellow Turban Army surrounded Wuhan Pass, so they brought troops to support.
The commander of this Yellow Turban Army is Pei Yuanshao, and he is also a general under Zhang Jiao, he has nearly 50,000 horses under his command, and his momentum is also extremely huge, and he has defeated many Han troops along the way.
Because of the great contribution of the Fengwu Battalion in rescuing Zhang Yi in the special vortex platform, it also allowed Zhang Yi to see their strong combat power, so Zhang Yi specially updated their equipment, and they were also wearing chain armor, and the horses were also wearing half armor.
What is Half Armor? Only the horse's face, neck, and two front legs were tied with horse armor, in order to maintain the speed of the cavalry, and at the same time to provide good protection for the horse and cavalry.
Under the rush of the Fengwu Battalion and the Hundred Beast Battalion, coupled with the assistance of more than 10,000 infantry led by Xiao Wu, Pei Yuanshao's army was quickly scattered, and after the Yellow Turban Army was dispersed, Lu Bu saw the direction of Pei Yuanshao's escape and chased after him alone, but when he was about to catch up, a one-meter-wide wooden plank bridge appeared in front of him.
found that Pei Yuanshao, who was embarrassed by Lu Bu before he was able to escape, laughed and mocked Lu Bu, and asked Lu Bu to fly over to chase him, and Lu Bu couldn't help but be angry after hearing it.
