Chapter 242: Desperate Choice
"Sir, is it a little too hard for them to do this?"
After Sun Xia left, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask.
That's right.
Qin Yu, Feng Ji and Zhang Zhao said before, and the things they did were just something they discussed.
Long before Qin Yu determined that Sun Xia was coming, he had already thought about these things.
According to Qin Yu's original intention, he really didn't want to watch those potentially innocent homeless people die in tens of thousands.
But compared to saving their lives.
Qin Yu was naturally more concerned about his own safety.
He couldn't put himself in danger for the sake of someone else.
Sun Xia brought them a good strategy.
Use those wicked people in the Yellow Turban Army to fight hard against Zhu Jun.
While disgusting Zhu Jun, he can also eliminate all those potential destabilizing factors for him.
However, just like this, it was still not enough to impress Qin Yu.
It was not enough for Qin Yu to take a great risk for them to save people.
Therefore, Qin Yu handed over the right to choose to Sun Xia and Zhao Hong.
If he really wants to incorporate these Yellow Turban Army under his command.
That means that Sun Xia and Zhao Hong will be his subordinates in the future.
For his subordinates, Qin Yu's first requirement is loyalty, followed by character.
Whether they can rest assured that they can lead troops and help them make contributions in the future depends on their own choices.
As for letting Sun Xia choose, the worst outcome is just Qin Yu leading the army to fight with those yellow turbans in Wancheng.
It's just a matter of completely killing all these chaotic parties entrenched in Wancheng.
In this way, there will be no more voices in the court that question him.
He can also justifiably become the county guard of this Nanyang County.
Become the ruler of this large county with a population of more than 2 million.
And if Sun Xia and Zhao Hong both chose to sacrifice themselves, they also wanted to find a way for their subordinates to live.
Even if Qin Yu helped them once, what could he do?
Although he has not returned to Luoyang now.
But his divine water has accumulated a lot of connections in the court.
It's a big deal, after this incident, I will find a way to solve the hidden dangers of this matter through He Jin.
But it's really hard to say about trust.
Especially for Liu Hong.
Once Qin Yu accepts these Yellow Turban Army, what will Liu Hong think?
How can this be explained in a few words?
But Qin Yu also knew that Liu Hong would not want his own life because of this matter.
In the imperial court, not only He Jin, but also the three dukes like Yang Ci can say something for him.
Only, if this really happens.
In the future, he will definitely not be treated like before.
Liu Hong can no longer trust himself unreservedly as before.
It can only be said that this matter is indeed risky.
But the risks are not yet uncontrollable.
At most, he can no longer hold the position of county warden.
All of a sudden, he was sent back to the position of a county magistrate in Jianyang County.
But Qin Yu doesn't care.
The county order is the county order, anyway, nothing in this world can stop him from moving forward.
More extreme cases.
Even if he is really demoted to a concubine.
So what?
It's a big deal to take these Yellow Turban troops who have taken refuge in him to directly occupy a place and establish themselves as kings.
Take them to the mountains and plant fields for a few years.
After Liu Hong's death and the chaos in Luoyang, there is naturally a place for him in this world.
Even.
Qin Yu was already ready.
He can't follow the path of Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army if he doesn't try it.
And judging by his current conditions.
If he wants to become like Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, the court can't deal with it, and in the end he can only recruit an model.
His success rate is obviously much higher than Zhang Yan's.
It's just that......
In this way, Xun Yu, who is still by his side now, is probably gone.
Huang Zhong is definitely no problem.
Zhang Zhao should also choose to start a business with him.
Feng Ji and Lou Gui are all old acquaintances.
They will not leave them at this time.
Thinking about it, that is, Xun Yu, the king of Zuozhicai, may become the price that Qin Yu has to pay.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Without Xun Yu, isn't there still Zhang Zhao?
In a few years, I will find a way to get the mountain village man who is still a child to his side.
Let Zhang Zhao cultivate well, and by the way, visit more big families such as Jingxiang Pang Clan.
Lay a good foundation for that big guy.
In the future, without Xun Yu, it will not be a loss.
With such a bottom line, Qin Yu naturally had nothing to hesitate in his heart.
He can accept the results of success and failure.
Now just leave this difficult multiple-choice question to Sun Xia and Zhao Hong.
But.
This kind of thing should be difficult for the two of them.
If Sun Xia and Zhao Hong knew what Qin Yu was thinking now.
I'm afraid they will all kneel down in front of Qin Yu directly and cry loudly with Qin Yu.
How can such a thing be said in a difficult sentence?
That's to let them face life and death, pay the price of this life to fight for others to have a chance to survive!
They are the generous commanders of Taiping Dao, but they are not saints.
Before that, they were just poor ordinary people.
Who can have such a high level of ideological awareness?
Seeing Sun Xia return to Wancheng unharmed.
Zhao Hong, who had been anxiously waiting for the news, was so excited that he almost laughed out loud.
After receiving the report from his subordinates.
He could almost see Sun Xia's excited face.
Then the two of them will talk at night, find a way to screen candidates, and then give Na Zhu Jun a good look.
Then he became a general under Qin Yu.
I dare not say that I will be rich and rich in the future.
At least I don't have to worry about this life all day long.
Being able to do this kind of thing is already very satisfying for them, and it is also very top-notch.
So what else can they say?
However, just when Zhao Hong was full of joy and fantasized about this kind of scene.
When he saw Sun Xia's expression.
The smile on his face that was already full suddenly froze.
"Brother, you are ......"
Zhao Hong looked at Sun Xia Tieqing's expression, and only felt a "chuckle" in his heart for a while.
Sun Xia really didn't do the same as before.
He didn't even pay attention to the etiquette between the two of them.
He just waved his hand and said, "Qu Shuai, let's go back and talk about it." ”
Zhao Hong hurriedly welcomed Sun Xia in and ordered him to go down, no one was allowed to approach without his order.
After that, he closed the door.
hurriedly came to Sun Xia and said, "Brother, but what went wrong with your trip?" ”
"Could it be that the gentleman is unwilling to accept us?"
Sun Xia looked at Zhao Hong, who was a little suspicious at this time, he sighed and said, "That's not the case, when Mr. listened to what I said, he didn't look down on us, he also wanted to help us, but ......"
"But what is it? Brother, can you finish talking at once? ”
Zhao Hong was made uneasy by Sun Xia's words and his expression for a while.
Sun Xia grabbed the feather bud in front of him and drank the wine in the feather bud.
Let that fiery feeling sink and sink in my chest.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Sun Xia began to say: "Qu Shuai, are you willing to die in order to give those brothers a chance to live?" ”
When Zhao Hong heard this, he was directly stunned.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? ”
"It doesn't matter if I die or not, but even if I die, how can I fight for my brothers to live?"
Sun Xia looked at the nervous and worried look on Zhao Hong's face.
Where else could he not understand.
It's himself.
It's been so long.
No, I still haven't thought about it?
So Sun Xia continued: "Actually, this matter is still something the two of us think about after all. ”
"We only think about ourselves, not about my husband's situation."
Immediately.
He told Zhao Hong all the things he had heard from Qin Yu's mouth before.
Just after Zhao Hong finished listening.
Sure enough, he fell directly into the deepest silence.
The two sat quietly opposite each other in the room.
The flickering candle flame on the side burned the shadows of the two of them like demons.
"Does that have to be the case?"
After a long time.
Zhao Hongcai spoke.
It's just that he didn't expect it either.
His voice was so hoarse.
Sun Xia also felt that there was a bitterness and inevitability in his mouth.
It's like the poverty in the cup of cloudy wine that has been completely steamed out at once.
That's a chain.
The chains that are forever trapped in these lowly people.
Even if they struggled all the way, they fought all the way to where they are now.
Isn't the end result just a dead end?
Their fate was predestined from the start.
Who can get away?
Who can get away!
Impossible.
Sun Xia did not answer.
But at this time, Sun Xia's silence made Zhao Hong feel even more desperate.
"What do you mean, brother?"
Zhao Hong couldn't help but ask again.
Sun Xia looked up at Zhao Hong, there was no hesitation in his eyes, but he still shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Zhao Hong let out a long sigh.
It was as if the long sigh had taken his life out of his mouth.
"I don't know."
"I still have a question, though."
"You say, even if the two of us can really do what they say, we will just die."
"Then, will they be able to let go of these brothers under us?"
"Can we really trust them?"
"Will they take advantage of the leaderlessness of the brothers after the two of us are dead, and then attack the city again and kill all the brothers?"
"At that time, these brothers will really not even have a chance to take revenge!"
Sun Xia listened to what Zhao Hong said.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
But no sooner had this smile appeared, and it was covered with a thick layer of bitterness.
It's like painting a very unreal smile on his face.
"I don't know."
Sun Xia said.
"Qu Shuai, I'm in a mess now, and I can't discuss anything important with you anymore."
"Please also ask Qu Shuai to let me retire for the time being, if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow."
After speaking, Sun Xia arched his hand towards Zhao Hong, and then turned around and walked out.
Zhao Hong didn't say anything about Sun Xia's departure.
After he said those words before.
It's like a stone sculpture itself.
The whole person was stunned under the candle flame.
Just looking at the shaky shadows on the ground, I don't know what is going on in my mind.
The night passed in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Hong didn't know how long he had been asleep, whether he had slept or not.
He just felt as if he didn't belong to this world anymore.
The whole person's heart is empty.
I want to vent, but I don't know what I should vent.
I want to eat and drink, but I feel that no matter how much food I eat or how much wine I drink, I can't fill the gap in my heart.
Fortunately.
It was only early in the morning, and Zhu Jun had already sent people to attack the city.
This forced Zhao Hong to mobilize his spirit.
constantly sent those Yellow Turban troops to resist Zhu Jun's offensive.
And he probably didn't even find out about it.
The people he sent out now.
It is the goal that was already set in advance yesterday.
These people were scattered, but they were all sent to the front line by his orders.
Soon they were killed and wounded one by one.
They all have such casualties.
Zhu Jun's side was naturally not having a good time.
Several fierce offensives were all pushed back by Zhao Hong's faction.
If there is no strong man like Sun Jian to lead the generals to condense the clouds.
I'm afraid the number of casualties in their siege battle will be even more ugly.
Compared with Zhu Jun's side.
Qin Yu's siege of the city looked much easier.
Intensity is not on a scale.
If it is said that the offensive and defensive sides on Zhu Jun's side are both professional-level players.
Then the offensive and defensive sides on Qin Yu's side are all amateur ranks.
And it's the lowest rank in the amateur rank.
Speaking of siege warfare, Qin Yu didn't understand it at all.
Although Lu Bu is also a fierce general.
But he lived in Bingzhou all the year round, and dealt with those Huns.
There is no concept of siege between them.
The comparison is whose hard power is stronger and whose horse is faster.
Really encountered this kind of siege warfare.
Lu Bu's performance was not much better than Qin Yu's.
I'm afraid the only one who can control the scene is Feng Ji.
But Feng Ji himself was very clear about Qin Yu's thoughts.
They weren't here to fight the Yellow Turbans.
According to Qin Yu's statement.
It might be more appropriate to call it military training.
And so.
Feng Ji sat in the Chinese army and constantly gave orders.
Let the 10,000 Yellow Turban Soldiers be divided into ten, and each one will rush into a formation.
Let them get acquainted with the atmosphere, and then retreat.
The scene also looks lively.
The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.
But in fact, so many people passed, that is, they brushed up on the number of steps and held a sports meeting.
What could really be a mass attrition, they didn't get too involved in it at all.
down for a few days on end.
The soldiers and horses in Zhu Jun's hands have lost nearly two or three thousand people.
The Yellow Turban Army naturally paid the same price.
But Wancheng is still the same Wancheng.
The sturdy and towering walls are still in the hands of the Yellow Turbans.
Even though Sun Jian once ascended the city wall as a first, he successfully climbed the city wall.
It's a pity.
Those Yellow Turban soldiers really killed them one by one, as if they were not afraid of death.
Instead of weakening, their morale has become stronger.
Rao is a strong man like Sun Jian.
He didn't dare to do it without his own cloud qi bonus.
Fight hard for too long with those tiger and wolf armies who defend the city.
Seeing that there were not many people behind him who could climb the city wall.
Sun Nut chose to give up.
As for Qin Yu's side.
These days down.
He also organized several large-scale sieges of the city.
It's just compared to the number of Yellow Turban defenders.
These people under Qin Yu's command are still a little unsightly.
Without the help of sufficient siege equipment.
They want to attack the city, but the difficulty is too great.
Even Lu Bu was beaten back several times by those Yellow Turban Army.
This made Lu Bu only feel that he couldn't play his bravery.
The heart is suffocating.
"Sir, then Zhao Hong and Sun Xia haven't heard any news in the past few days, presumably they are already determined to go against us."
"In that case, why should we let them do this?"
"Just let me rush down the wall that the security army gave them once!"
Lu Bu angrily proposed.
Those Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't keep up with Lu Bu's footsteps at all.
Even if Lu Bu could rush to the city wall alone.
Under the offensive of the Yellow Turban soldiers, he held on alone for a long time.
But there is no way for the yellow turban soldiers behind him to keep up quickly.
So much so that several times in Lu Bu's eyes were failures.
This is also because the strength of those Yellow Turban Pawns is too low.
One by one is just a flesh and blood realm of steel and iron bones.
If this is changed to the realm of the security army's pure true qi martial arts.
Lu Bu is really confident that he can directly capture the walls guarded by these Yellow Turban Army!
Qin Yu waved his hand and smiled: "Why is Fengxian so anxious? ”
"In my opinion, the current situation shows that Sun Xia and Zhao Hong are still hesitating."
"We might as well give them a little more time, and if they really think it through, I'll let you take the security guards to charge once."
When Lu Bu heard this, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
Feng Ji on the side couldn't help but nod his head at Qin Yu's judgment.
Between life and death, it is not easy to make a judgment.
Moreover, for Sun Xia and Zhao Hong, this kind of life and death is not about righteousness.
There's a lot more to worry about behind them.
It should also be considered a little longer.
So.
A few more days passed.
However, the battle situation in the past few days has been much weaker than before.
Although the official army under the leadership of Sun Jian was very fierce.
But they are not iron-clad either.
Maintaining such a siege intensity all day long also exhausted them from beating them one by one.
The Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng was even more frightened.
They didn't expect the offensive of the official army to come so fiercely before this.
If this continues, it will be impossible for them to withstand the attack of the officers and troops.
And what makes them feel even more desperate.
Except for the offensive on Zhu Jun's side.
Later, the offensive on Qin Yu's side also began to become stronger day by day.
The morale of the Yellow Turbans fell again and again.
I'm afraid it's really only a matter of time before the final city breaks.
