Chapter 241: Only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be prosecuted
The Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng is now under the command of Zhao Hong.
Whether it is qualifications or connections, Zhao Hong is the first person under Zhang Mancheng who deserves to be well-deserved.
It's just that Zhao Hong has been shrouded by Zhang Mancheng's aura for too long.
Maybe I didn't get any exercise.
His ability is much worse than Zhang Mancheng's.
Especially when it comes to dealing with such a big situation, it is even more panicked.
However, Sun Xia, who was much younger than him, was more calm at this time.
At this time, Zhao Hong was a little flustered and asked Sun Xia.
Sun Xia looked at the neat military appearance of Qin Yu's corporal outside the city.
There was a bit of solemnity in his gaze.
"Zhao Qushuai, have you ever thought about why Qu Shuai has been standing still before?"
Sun Xia asked.
Zhao Hong touched his head and said, "I've thought about this before, but I still can't understand it. ”
"What do you think?"
Sun Xia nodded and said, "I just have a few small guesses. ”
Zhao Hong hurriedly said: "Brother, come quickly." ”
Sun Xia said: "Zhao Qushuai, do you think there is a possibility that Qu Shuai actually didn't want to rebel against the court from the beginning, but wanted to find an opportunity, and then submit to Mr.?" ”
Zhao Hong asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I waited for the day of the incident, killed so many powerful families, and all the way to attack this Wan City."
"If you really want to submit to your lord from the beginning, how can you do such trouble?"
Sun Xia said: "This is actually a point that I don't understand. ”
"But if Qu Shuai really didn't have this idea at the beginning, then why didn't he lead us to wave our troops north and attack Luoyang earlier?"
"Those brothers in Yingchuan, they are not necessarily better prepared than us, they can fight all the way to the north, why can't we?"
"Besides, Mr. has been gone for more than a month, and it is precisely because of Mr. that those brothers were finally defeated."
"If you really want to rebel, you really don't care about your husband's feelings."
"When Mr. left, he should have gone directly to attack Thorn Yang City."
"Even if it's just to force Mr. to return from Yingchuan, at least we have to make an appearance."
"But Qu Shuai has never made any moves at the beginning."
"You say, if this wasn't for Mr. Guishun in the future, why would you do such a thing?"
Zhao Hong was speechless by Sun Xia's general analysis.
He thought about it, as if there was really nothing to argue with.
But on the other hand.
He couldn't understand why it was the way it was.
Zhang Mancheng died too suddenly.
So much so that many things that only he knew about ended up not being passed down even a little.
"Then, according to you, we just need to go directly to Mr. now?"
Zhao Hong couldn't make up his mind.
He is not a martial artist of all flesh and blood.
Although his strength has reached the realm of eight veins.
But most of this strength was raised by Zhang Jiao.
If you divide it carefully.
Zhao Hong's kind of Qu Shuai is almost equivalent to a civilian in the Taiping Dao, similar to a missionary priest.
He is not very good at force, and at this time, looking at the scene of fierce soldiers and horses outside the city, he naturally thinks that it is better not to fight.
Even with heavy troops.
But if he could find a way for these brothers to live, he would naturally be more willing.
Sun Xia shook his head and said, "Naturally, you can't directly surrender to Mr. ”
"Qu Shuai, do you think, what have we done before, and now if we rush to the city to surrender, will Mr. dare to accept us?"
Zhao Hong nodded, quite agreeing with this statement: "Then in your opinion, what should we do now?" ”
Sun Xia said: "We now have 100,000 troops, and there is still a lot of grain in Wancheng, so it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being." ”
"Besides......"
"Among our people, people like Qu Shuai and me must not be all of them."
"When we were absorbing these people before, many of them were bandits and rogues, so let them go directly to the command of Mr."
"I can't believe it."
"And if Qu Shuai makes such a decision rashly, once it is announced, those people will not use it to blackmail you and me, at this special moment, if we are in chaos first, I am afraid that the big thing will really be gone."
"When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Mr. to come and surrender me, and I will be killed by Zhu Jun first."
Zhao Hong slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, what you said is good, if it weren't for your brother and your advice, I really don't know what to do now." ”
"Then do what you say, brother!"
"Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?"
Sun Xia said: "Naturally, there are still many things to pay attention to. ”
"Qu Shuai, please take a look."
He pointed to Qin Yu and the others under the city, and said: "Mr. Iguan personally led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to come this time, his momentum is extraordinary, but he is by no means a person from the same way, otherwise, Sima Sun Jian of the previous Nazuo army would not have almost died in the wild." ”
"Even if he has a big fate, he dares to provoke Mr., but he is not dead, he is a blessing in disguise, and he has broken through the realm."
"But that's our chance!"
Zhao Hongdao: "You mean ......?"
"Shall we give Mr. a breath?"
"Throw all those uncontrolled guys out to fight with that Zhu Jun, and when these people are almost killed, we will raise the city and surrender, and directly welcome Mr. into the end, and then turn that Zhu Jun away?"
Sun Xia laughed and said, "Qu Shuai's move is also wonderful, but how to make this thing beautiful is not an easy thing." ”
"My opinion is, why don't we go and ask the gentleman first?"
Zhao Hong was shocked: "Ask Mr.?" How to ask? ”
Sun Xia said: "What's so difficult about this? Now the gentleman is not outside the city. ”
"I expect that Mr. will come on this trip, and Zhu Jun will definitely let Mr. go and surround our two positions separately."
"After Na Zhu Jun returns to the camp, I will go out of the city and go directly to visit Mr."
"If Mr. doesn't kill me, then the general trend has been decided, if I am beheaded by Mr., then Qu Shuai can only fight to the death."
Zhao Hong frowned and asked, "Wouldn't this move be a bit too risky?" ”
"Why do you want to go in person, as long as you send a random messenger over, can't you also convey your and my intentions clearly?"
"It's really not possible, we can still repair a book, throw it directly from the city wall, and I think it can be delivered to the gentleman."
Sun Xia said with a smile: "Qu Shuai don't worry about me, in fact, there is no difference between going and not going now." ”
"If Mr. is like that Zhu Jun, who just wants to kill us cleanly, what is the difference between dying now and dying a few days later?"
"And if Mr. also wants to attract us, then I will go over in person now, which is a sincere gesture to Mr."
"Could it be that Qu Shuai, do you really think that with these people in our Wan City, we can resist the joint attack of Mr. and Zhu Jun?"
Zhao Hong sighed and said, "What you said, how can I not know?" ”
"If it's just Zhu Jun, I won't be scared of him."
"But now with Mr.'s words, then we can't resist it at all."
Sun Xia smiled: "That's right. ”
"So Zhao Qushuai, what else do you have to worry about?"
"Wait for the good news that I'll be back tomorrow."
"Mr. Iguan is not such a ruthless person!"
After speaking, Zhao Hong could only nod.
He felt like he couldn't do it to this extent.
Now I can only wait for Sun Xia to pass.
The reality is just as Sun Xia expected.
After Zhu Jun met Qin Yu, he handed over two of the walls of Wancheng to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu naturally didn't have any opinions.
One of the city walls, Qin Yu directly sent the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang to garrison it.
On the other hand, he personally led the army to suppress the formation.
Liu Bei and the others only had 4,000 troops.
It was the people they had brought from Luoyang before.
If they were to be allowed to work with this amount of force, it would be really.
Therefore, what Qin Yu told them was to let them defend their camps, and as for the siege, it was better to assume that no such thing had happened.
Wait until all the soldiers have completed their deployment.
Qin Yu set up camp.
He was sitting in the tent, and suddenly the curtain of the tent was windless.
Qin Yu's eyes were in a trance, and he said with a smile: "It seems that there should be a distinguished guest coming to the door tonight." ”
Everyone was puzzled by what they meant.
Qin Yu didn't explain much.
Wait until after nightfall.
It was on the walls of the city of Nawan, where there were no torches.
Sun Xia descended from the city wall with a rope very neatly.
He came to Qin Yu's camp in the dark, which he had already observed earlier.
The outpost in front of the camp gate had also been ordered by Qin Yu in advance.
There was no panic when he noticed someone coming.
Instead, he greeted Sun Xia directly without making a sound.
didn't wait for Sun Xia to explain his intentions.
Such a situation naturally surprised Sun Xia.
However, it also made Sun Xia's original heart finally let go.
"Sir, you're really good."
"Before I came, did he already guess it?"
Sun Xia secretly said in his heart, and for a while, he admired Qin Yu's ability even more.
In the tent.
After Sun Xia was introduced, he saw that there was already a banquet in the camp.
And among them, there is an extra seat.
When everyone saw Sun Xia coming, their faces were different with surprise.
Only Qin Yu seemed to have already seen the future.
"Sun Qushuai, sit down."
Qin Yu said with a smile.
Sun Xia bowed respectfully to Qin Yu before sitting down as he said.
After sitting down, Sun Xia made up his mind.
He took one look and immediately noticed.
The people sitting around were all the core figures in Thorn Yang City without exception.
Lu Bu, Feng Ji, Zhang Zhao and others were all here at this time, as if they had been waiting for him from the beginning.
Qin Yu then said: "I don't know if Qu Shuai came tonight, what are you doing?" ”
Where did Sun Xia dare to put on a score in front of Qin Yu, the words he had prepared in his heart before seemed to be useless in front of Qin Yu at this time.
So he thought about it, and said according to the truest thought in his heart: "Mr. Hui, I came here rashly tonight to seek a way to live for the brothers in Wancheng. ”
Qin Yu was noncommittal when he heard this, and said, "You go on." ”
Sun Xia then repeated all the words he had said between him and Zhao Hong before.
From his thoughts and speculations about Zhang Mancheng, as well as what they wanted to do in the future, they all explained to Qin Yu as they were.
After Qin Yu heard this, he just sighed lightly.
He didn't respond directly.
Instead, he turned his head to look at Feng Ji on the side and asked, "Yuan Tu, what do you think?" ”
Feng Ji didn't have any shy thoughts in front of Sun Xia, he said directly: "Sir, even so, if you accept these yellow scarves, it will not be a good thing for Sir." ”
Sun Xia was shocked when he heard this.
Put yourself in his shoes.
It never occurred to me that such a thing could happen.
In his opinion.
The surrender of these Yellow Turban Army was not a burden for Qin Yu, but a major benefit.
This can only be said to be the reason why Sun Xia did not understand the situation in the imperial court.
He had no idea what kind of situation Qin Yu was facing in the current imperial court.
Qin Yu shook his head and said, "Is there no other way?" ”
"Zibu, what do you think?"
Zhang Zhao on the side naturally bowed his hand to Qin Yu and said: "The subordinates and Yuan Tu have no different opinion, these Yellow Turban Chaos in Wancheng will not benefit from it, but may be harmed by it." ”
Sun Xia saw that the situation had slipped in a direction that was out of his control.
He hurriedly left the table, came to the tent, and bowed to Qin Yu: "Mr. Mingjian!" We are sincerely begging for the Yellow Turban Army, how can we let my husband suffer from us? ”
Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "You get up first, Sun Xia, you will be mistaken." ”
"What really worries us is not the desperate people behind you, but the court."
"Do you know how many people in this court don't want me to have a good time?"
"As you said before, even you suspect that Zhang Mancheng didn't come to attack my Thorn Yang City, because he wanted to take refuge in me."
"Wouldn't anyone in the court know about this kind of thing?"
"What do you think they would think if you were to transform into one of my people now?"
"They don't think that I, Qin Yu, have such great ability to make you unruly and murderous Yellow Turban Army return to your heart so easily."
"They'll just think I'm actually in touch with you before that."
"Now you are only under my command, and I."
"In the future, it is very likely that they will be branded as the Yellow Turban Army, not to mention the official career, whether it will be liquidated after this chaos, that is still two words."
Sun Xia listened to Qin Yu's words.
His face became more and more ugly and pale.
He hadn't thought about this before.
How could he have thought that the surrender of these Yellow Turban Army would mean such a great danger to Qin Yu.
He froze in place for a moment.
Half an hour later.
Just when Sun Xia was almost desperate.
Qin Yu suddenly said: "I can't bear so many ordinary people to suffer from this calamity, what can you do to break the situation?" ”
Feng Ji on the side sighed: "There is indeed a way, but whether this method is useful or not, the subordinates are not clear now." ”
Sun Xia's eyes lit up suddenly.
He looked at Feng Ji with great anticipation.
Qin Yu's reaction was very ordinary, and he said, "What way?" ”
Feng Ji glanced at Sun Xia meaningfully, and then said: "Only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated." ”
As soon as these eight words came out, Sun Xia suddenly felt like a basin of cold water poured on his body at once.
As a result, he didn't come back to his senses almost all at once.
Qin Yu didn't speak either.
Everyone seemed to be looking only at their desks in front of them.
But Sun Xia felt that everyone's eyes were fixed on him now.
Half an hour later.
Sun Xia seemed to finally catch his breath.
He looked up, trying to pull his lips and smile.
But he didn't expect that the muscles in his face would become so stiff now.
Only half laughed, and he couldn't laugh anymore anyway.
"Sir, please allow me to think about this kind of thing for a while."
Qin Yu didn't talk.
It's as if all the space and time here have been left to Sun Xia.
Sun Xia pondered for a long time.
His thoughts went from anticipation and excitement to the deepest abyss now.
He kept asking himself a question: What am I here for?
What is the purpose of all this I am trying to do now?
Am I not trying to find a way to live?
But now I can't live no matter what.
So what am I going to do?
Let me die, and then live for those who don't know me at all?
Why?
I'm Qu Shuai!
I am the one who rules over them.
If you want to survive, it must be me who comes more valuable!
Why!
Sun Xia only felt that in this big summer, he wanted to be in an ice cellar, and he shivered coldly.
I don't know how long it has been.
Sun Xia still felt as if he was holding a piece of paste in his head.
He was in a daze, unaware of what he had just been thinking.
Until now, he hadn't been able to make up his mind in his mind.
Sun Xia was in a state of confusion, and finally stubbornly said: "Sir, can you allow me to retire first, and after I discuss this news with Zhao Qushuai, I will give you a definite answer to Mr." ”
Qin Yu didn't stop it.
He nodded and said, "In that case, Sun Qushuai, please go back." ”
Hearing this, Sun Xia bowed to Qin Yu, and then turned around and left the tent.
When he walked back, he felt that his body seemed to be light and fluttering, and there was no trace of strength.
There were always two voices in his heart tormenting him at the same time.
One is fierce and ruthless, and the other is full of pain and remorse.
What the hell am I going to do?
Am I really going to die this time?
