Chapter 17: "My lord, Lu Qi! (Grand Chapter, 2-in-1)
"You..."
"Click!"
"Horn!"
saw that before Zhang Mancheng could make an inquiry, he was directly twisted by the comer, and his body was thrown aside like a broken bag.
"Master."
On the other hand, Xu Cang, who was standing in place and had never moved, said to Lu Qi with an expressionless face.
"Xu Cang, I'll leave the rest to you."
After condensing a cloud of water vapor and cleaning his right hand, Lu Qi said indifferently.
"Yes, master."
Hearing this, Xu Cang lifted the long knife in his hand, walked to Zhang Mancheng's corpse, looked at his Qu Shuai's sad appearance, and when the knife fell, a huge head was cut off!
"Poof!"
Blood spurted out of the gap!
Xu Cang didn't react to this kind of restrictive picture, but completely obeyed Lu Qi's order, lifted Zhang Mancheng's head smoothly, and walked towards the outside of the house.
Under the moonlight, Xu Cang's face seemed to be painted with a layer of silver light, making his temperament look a little mysterious, but the specks of blood and the head in his hand made this scene extremely infiltrating...
......
"Quick! Keep picking up the pace! ”
"There is a big movement there is Qu Shuai, hurry up and go to support!"
On the street not far from Zhang Mancheng's residence, Zhang Hong led a large number of people and horses towards this place.
From his anxious face, people can't help but have the illusion of being loyal to the Lord and going to the soup to fight the fire.
If Lu Qi is here, I am afraid that I will have to give Zhang Hong a thumbs up for his acting skills.
After all, the 'Bloody Warfare Method' affects an individual's mind and subconscious mind, and will not cause a person's soul and soul to change drastically, and what was the previous mind and personality will be, and it will be the same in the future.
Therefore, I have to say that Zhang Hong is indeed a good actor.
And a good actor, what is most lacking, is also a good stage and a good supporting role.
Tonight, Zhang Hong got what he wanted.
Without him, just because someone in front of him is about to cooperate with him in a play.
"Stomp, stomp...."
"Who's coming?!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps around the corner not far ahead, Zhang Hong hurriedly stopped and asked sharply!
"That's..."
"Xu Cang?!"
"Wait!"
"The head he's carrying..."
"Qu Shuai?!"
It seems that Zhang Hong, who saw the picture in front of him clearly, was shocked by this!
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly reprimanded:
"Okay, you Xu Cang! Qu Shuai treats you well on weekdays, but he never thought that you were such a wolf-hearted thief! ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Cang, who was standing opposite, stopped, and then, under the stunned gaze of a group of yellow turban soldiers, he raised the long knife in his hand and killed himself directly in front of everyone!
"This..."
Seeing this, Zhang Hong was full of 'shock', and the expression on his face seemed to say, 'What the hell is going on?!' 'General...
At the same time, the Yellow Turban soldiers who followed Zhang Hong in confusion were really shocked and didn't know how to speak.
"General Xu Cang, why is this?"
"After killing Qu Shuai, and then killing yourself in public?"
"Could it be that it was because he killed Qu Shuai and wanted to seize power, but he was discovered by us and others, and there was no way to refute it, so he died directly in public?"
“...”
"Seemingly, that's the only way to say it..."
In the crowd, a Yellow Turban soldier arranged by Zhang Hong before heard this answer, and immediately smiled silently, and then retreated and continued to hide in the crowd.
"Someone! The corpse of Qu Shuai was buried alive, and the body of the thief Xu Cang was hung above the city gate to sacrifice Qu Shuai's spirit in the sky! ”
After making some inexplicable expressions of grief, Zhang Hong learned from the pain and ordered his subordinates.
"No!"
In the crowd, the soldier with the title of the book suddenly walked out and began to converge the corpse in front of him.
On the other hand, Zhang Hong, seeing that everything had been decided, led the soldiers in the rear and turned towards Zhang Mancheng's residence.
He's got to get everything in order tonight.
......
Day 2.
After cleaning Zhang Mancheng's residence, Zhang Hong began to rectify the 200,000 troops that originally belonged to Zhang Mancheng.
I saw that on the stage of Wancheng's martial arts, Zhang Hong was wearing a black armor and standing on the stage, looking at the crowd in front of him with an excited expression:
"Everyone!"
The voice containing inexplicable energy is very easy to echo in everyone's ears, as if Zhang Hong is whispering in everyone's ear.
"Yesterday, the thief Xu Cang, if he wanted to seize power, he killed Qu Shuai at night, but the matter was revealed and we found out, so he had to kill himself in public!"
"Such disloyalty and unrighteousness will be the wrath of heaven and the wrath of the people!"
"I have ordered Xu Cang's body to be hung above the city gate as a warning!"
"At the same time, my colleagues, we all know that the country cannot be without a king for a day, the dragon cannot be without a leader, Qu Shuai has unfortunately passed away, we are naturally deeply saddened, but someone must continue to lead us."
"But before I do that, I'd like to ask you."
"Do you really want to continue to be called a 'rebellious thief?!"
"Do you really want to continue to live this painful life of fighting against your own people?!"
“...”
In addition to the 50,000 troops led by Zhang Hong yesterday, the remaining 150,000 people were all at a loss.
Yesterday, after they were taught a technique called 'Bloody Warfare' by their own branch generals, they felt as if their lives had ushered in a new life, and they had heard about last night's movements, but their own generals just let them stay at their posts.
It wasn't until now that they understood what was really going on.
After hearing the news of Zhang Mancheng's death, their first reaction was not grief, but confusion, and they were confused about who would lead them next.
Zhang Hong on stage?
Although he was also a close general by Qu Shuai's side before, it seems that his strength is not strong.
If such a person leads them, is there really hope for life afterward?
But General Zhang Hong's two questions, as if asked, went deeper...
If it's not that life is really unbearable, who really wants to be a thief?
It has been several months since the Yellow Turban Uprising, and they have been stationing troops in Wancheng, so is it possible that they will directly surrender to the imperial court next?!
So in the future, won't you continue to return to the point where life is worse than death? !
And what are they revolting for...
The vast majority of the crowd was confused.
But there are also a few people who have the courage to ask directly at the top of their throats:
"General! Do you mean to take us to surrender to the imperial court? ”
"If we surrender, won't we all die?!"
These words were like a boulder crashing into a lake, and it set off waves in an instant!
"yes!"
"We have been called rebellious, if we surrender to the court at this time, wouldn't we be killing ourselves?!"
"That's it!"
"If so, why are we waiting for an uprising?"
"Isn't it thankless!"
"That's right!"
“...”
Zhang Hong on the stage didn't expect that he would cause such a reaction just by asking two sentences, and his face suddenly turned dark, and his heart was extremely angry!
It's a pity that he also knows that the anger of the public is difficult to offend, and he doesn't dare to refute it immediately.
Just as he was in a hurry, a blue light flashed beside him, and immediately after, a young man in a black robe appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
"Lord..."
When Zhang Hong saw the comer, he wanted to speak, but he was awakened by a gaze, and suddenly stopped speaking.
And the many Yellow Turban soldiers below, when they were originally angry in their hearts, when they saw the faces of the comers, they suddenly seemed to be bathed in a fresh breeze, and their hearts calmed down in an instant.
At the same time, I feel that there is a strange power in the comer, which can automatically soothe people's hearts and calm them down, and at the same time, I also begin to involuntarily have a desire to surrender to the comer...
It's a strange idea, but it doesn't make people feel a little bit of resistance.
And the person who came to the stage, after seeing that the 200,000 troops under the stage had calmed down, said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know the difficulties in your hearts."
"If it weren't for the inaction of the imperial court, you wouldn't have rebelled and given yourself the name of rebellion."
"After all, everyone is a Han people, and it is natural to feel guilty for burning the flames of war under their own land."
"However, the inaction of the officials of the imperial court, the lack of livelihood of the people, the stiff bones on the roadside, and the miserable scenes of changing children and eating abound."
"This is because the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel."
"So, I understand everyone's behavior."
"However, since the uprising, many people in the Yellow Turban have gone the opposite way!"
"The original purpose was to find a way to survive, but the process was to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil!"
"Do you know that some of you and some of your hometowns also have relatives and friends who have been violated by your so-called colleagues?"
In one word, a thousand waves were suddenly set off!
"What?!"
"I have lived in Wancheng for a long time, and I have never known anything about the outside world."
"Could it be that the Yellow Turban soldiers in other regions can't do this?!"
"It's hateful!"
"We are only looking for a way to survive, and the main goal is the corrupt court and the mediocre dog emperor! But I never thought of harming others! ”
"I was originally from Youzhou, but I ended up here in desperation, and I participated in the rebel army, could it be that even my hometown of Youzhou was trampled by them?!"
Everyone in the crowd was full of disbelief.
"That's right."
The person on the stage, hearing this, replied directly.
"I came from Youzhou before, and Cheng Zhiyuan, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai in Youzhou, died at my hands."
"Everywhere they went, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil! For women, that's even more..."
"So, I would like to ask everyone, is the so-called uprising to kill your own compatriots?"
“...”
"Naturally not!"
"We were all forced to come here, if it weren't for life, who would want to be that rebellious person?!"
"Hateful Cheng Zhiyuan! They trampled on my hometown! I can't wait to eat its flesh and gnaw its bones! ”
“...”
Everyone in the audience was suddenly aroused with resentment in their hearts!
"That being the case, then there is an opportunity in front of you, give you wait!"
"If you want, you can now fade the name of rebellion, become an army of the court, and enjoy the lulu!"
"Life is natural and worry-free after that!"
"By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is 'Lu Qi', and I am the official residence of the imperial court's 'General Anton', and I am also the commander of the suppression of the Yellow Turban."
"Everyone can believe what I say."
“...”
Everyone in the audience was shocked when they heard this!
"The official of the imperial court will appear here?!"
"What he says will be true, and I will believe him!"
"Yes, if one person dares to come, it will be impossible to deceive us!"
"I'm willing to accept the opportunity!"
"I do, too!"
"Yes, I do!"
“...”
Who knows, just because a few soldiers under Zhang Hong fanned their words, it was like a fire in the prairie fire, and no one even raised any objections!
"That being the case, from now on, you will be my subordinates, and at the same time, you will no longer be Yellow Turban soldiers, and you will have a unified name."
"That is, the 'Bloody Army'!"
Lu Qi, who was standing on the stage, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
......
On the other side, somewhere in the dense forest outside Wancheng.
Huangpu Song and the others, who spent the night here, seemed a little anxious at this time.
"Gongwei, do you think Ziyi can succeed?"
Huangpu Song looked a little haggard, he almost didn't sleep last night, and he had been waiting for Lu Qi to send news, until now.
"Yizhen, don't be anxious, didn't Ziyi ask someone to send a letter before, saying that the overall situation has been decided? It's better for us to wait here for news, if we rush there, I'm afraid that Ziyi's steps will be ruined. ”
Although Zhu Jun on the side was also a little haggard, he still patiently comforted Huangpu Songdao.
After all, both of them are the first generals, and one of them is already confused, if both of them are like this, it is a taboo in the army!
"Well, I understand the truth, but it's..."
Huangpu Song sighed softly.
"No way, who would have thought that Ziyi would make such a strange method."
Zhu Jun also shook his head and sighed.
"Persuade 200,000 troops to surrender without spending a single soldier."
"Such a result has never been seen in the ages!"
"If it succeeds, that Ziyi will also become famous in an instant!"
"But, if it fails..."
"Ugh..."
Huangpu Song had a headache when he thought that his coach would go deep into the enemy camp alone.
"Wait a minute, it's close to noon at this time, and if you are persuaded to surrender, it should be almost done."
Zhu Jun had no choice but to comfort others while comforting himself.
In this way, the two of them, along with 8,000 court soldiers, continued to wait patiently.
Until, half an hour later.
A herald dressed in a yellow turban rode towards the area.
"There's movement!"
One of the scouts was aware of the movement ahead.
"General! There's a Yellow Turban herald ahead of you, heading here, do you want to take it down? ”
The soldier walked up to Huangpu Song and reported.
"Oh?!"
"Could it be..."
Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, and said in unison:
"Release! Let him come! ”
"No!"
Immediately afterwards, the Yellow Turban herald, under the attention of a group of court soldiers, rode quickly in front of him.
"Who are General Huangpu and General Zhu Jun?"
After the Yellow Turban herald dismounted, he asked directly.
"The two of us are!"
Hearing this, Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun took a step forward.
"In the name of the lord, I came to invite the two generals to Wancheng to discuss Nanyang matters."
The Yellow Turban herald bowed his hand.
“...”
"Who is your father-in-law?"
Although he already knows the answer, Huangpu Song still wants to confirm it again.
Sure enough, the Yellow Turban Herald said directly:
"My father-in-law, Lu Qi!"
"For the imperial court General Anton! The leader of the Yellow Turban Affair! ”
......
ps: The next chapter is to accept a fierce general, and then it is to start fighting Guangzong.
The plot is going to develop quickly.
