"Here!" Although there was some hesitation, Zhang Mancheng gave the order, and the soldier had no choice but to carry out Zhang Mancheng's order. He shouted, turned around and left the military tent.
"Wait!" Just when the soldier bent down and was about to get out of the military tent, Zhang Mancheng suddenly shouted to him again. The Yellow Turban soldier had to turn around again, prostrate himself to Zhang Mancheng, and wait.
Zhang Mancheng's new instructions. Zhang Mancheng took a deep breath. The order he had just issued was just a moment of indignation. Now he calmed down a little and thought about it. The news of Zhang Jiao's death had just come here, and Liu Pi and Gong Du were there.
appeared. If there is no connection, I would not believe it even if I beat Zhang Mancheng to death.
Before knowing the news of Zhang Jiao's death, Zhang Mancheng would not hesitate to have these two traitors killed! But now Zhang Mancheng has to think about the Yellow Turban Army who has been following him. Now that the Yellow Turban Army's failure seems to have
It has become a foregone conclusion. Now only more than a thousand officers and soldiers are coming. Soon, more officers and soldiers will come here. Zhang Mancheng may not be able to defeat the more than a thousand officers and soldiers in front of him, let alone more officers and soldiers.
.
Zhang Mancheng has heard that the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers who were defeated and captured in Nanyang City last time have been killed by the officers and soldiers. Zhang Mancheng can foresee that if he waits until he is defeated, these brothers under him will be a
What will happen? Zhang Mancheng himself could die for the Taiping Dao, but he couldn't bear to be buried with his brothers. He had to find a way to survive for them!
With an uncertain face, Zhang Mancheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted to the soldier: "Bring them two here!"
"Here!" the soldier responded again, turned around and left the military tent. Zhang Mancheng straightened his back, straightened his clothes and armor, then turned around and sat down on his seat in the military tent, quietly
Wait quietly.
Not long after, the soldier, Liu Pi and Gong Du, wearing officer and soldier armor, walked into the military tent. The soldier clasped his fists at Zhang Mancheng and shouted: "Commander Qu! Bring Liu Pi and Gong Du!"
"Final General Liu Pi (Gong Du)! I have met Qu Shuai!" Seeing Zhang Mancheng again, Liu Pi and Gong Du subconsciously raised their fists and saluted Zhang Mancheng, just like they had served under Zhang Mancheng's tent.
Zhang Mancheng ignored the two men and said directly to the soldier: "Get back!"
Seeing Zhang Mancheng's indifferent expression, Liu Pi and Gong Du couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Only then did they remember that they were no longer a Yellow Turban general, but a Yellow Turban traitor!
After the soldier retreated, Zhang Mancheng turned his head again and looked at Liu Pi and Gong Du. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a contemptuous sneer, and he said: "I don't know that these two adults condescended to come to me today.
What are you doing?"
Hearing Zhang Mancheng's cynicism, Liu Pi and Gong both blushed immediately. Liu Pi clasped his fists at Zhang Mancheng and said, "Qu Shuai! I know you are very dissatisfied with us! No matter how we explain it now, you will not forgive us.
Us! But this time we hope Qu Shuai can believe us. We are here this time solely for the lives of all the brothers on this mountain!"
"Huh!" Liu Pi said so directly when he came up that Zhang Mancheng didn't know how to answer. He could only snort in response and stopped talking, waiting for Liu Pi and Gong to tell them their purpose.
.
Seeing that Zhang Mancheng stopped talking, both Liu Pi and Gong knew what Zhang Mancheng meant, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they took a big risk when they came to Phoenix Mountain this time. After all, they had also been in Zhang Mancheng's tent.
After staying down there for so long, they knew Zhang Mancheng's attitude towards traitors all too well. Before going up the mountain, Luo Yang, who commanded the more than a thousand officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, once said that it was very likely that they would not even meet Zhang Mancheng.
If they didn't, they were killed by the Yellow Turban Army. Luo Yang also said that they didn't need to go up the mountain. It all depended on their own wishes. However, after thinking about it, Liu Pi and Gong Du decided to go up the mountain in person to persuade Zhang Mancheng to surrender.
It can be regarded as for the sake of the Yellow Turban Army brothers on this mountain.
Immediately, Liu Pi clasped his fists at Zhang Mancheng and said, "Commander Qu! I believe you have received the news that the great sage and mentor has passed away in Guangzong City!"
Hearing Liu Pi's words, Zhang Mancheng couldn't help but feel cold. He stared at Liu Pi, and the anger in his heart was rising. If the news of Zhang Jiao's death had not come, what would happen to Liu Pi and Gong Du?
Going up the mountain, Zhang Mancheng wanted to see what Liu Pi had to say! Liu Pi faced Zhang Mancheng's angry look, but he was not afraid at all, and said: "Shuai Qu is a smart man! I believe it is also clear that the great virtuous master has no regard for the Yellow Turban Army.
The significance! Without the great sage and mentor, it is absolutely impossible for General Digong and General Renggong to hold up the banner of the Yellow Turban Army!"
"Stop talking nonsense! What do you want to say? Just say it!" How could Zhang Mancheng not know that what Liu Pi said was the truth? The Digong General and Renggong General Liu Pi said were
Zhang Jiao's two younger brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, are more than a little inferior to Zhang Jiao in terms of ability, but they still like to scheming and fighting for power! In the past, Zhang Jiao was suppressing them, and they still made trouble.
There won't be any big trouble. Now that Zhang Jiao is gone, I'm afraid they will be the first to cause trouble!
Although these are the facts that are about to happen, it does not mean that Zhang Mancheng is willing to hear them. Although he already knew that the Yellow Turban Army was about to fail, Zhang Mancheng still felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. However, Liu Pi did not seem to see Zhang Mancheng.
Those burning eyes continued: "Huang Pu Song burned down General Bo Cai's army with a fire! Zhu Jun also defeated General Peng Tuo's army! Now the imperial court appointed Huang Pu Song to replace Dong Zhuo's dog thief
Serve as the commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers! Huang Pusong is not a wimp like Dong Zhuo’s dog thief. With him here, it will be a matter of time before Guangzong’s Yellow Turban Army is defeated! And the Yellow Turban Army everywhere is also at a disadvantage..."
"That's enough!" Zhang Mancheng shouted angrily, directly interrupting Liu Pi's talk, stood up suddenly, pulled out the sword from his waist, looked at Liu Pi with a pair of red eyes, and cursed: "
Dog thief! I'll kill you!"
When Gong Du saw it, he immediately stood up in front of Liu Pi, but Liu Pi straightened his back and looked at Zhang Mancheng without fear, and said with a serious face: "Qu Shuai! The reason why I said so much
, I just want to tell you one thing! That is that the Yellow Turban Army is now at sunset, and there is no possibility of success anymore! Does Qu Shuai really have the heart to let his brothers wait to die together? "
Hearing Liu Pi's last words, Zhang Mancheng couldn't look down on his sword, which he had raised so high. He could see Zhang Mancheng's face turning red and white, changing several times in a row, and finally at the end of the
He staggered and fell back to his seat, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground feebly. Zhang Mancheng raised his head. Although he didn't make many movements just now, he gasped involuntarily, glared at Liu Pi and Gong Du and shouted
: "What can we do? Could it be like the two of you! Join the imperial court and become the eagle dog of the imperial court!"
Liu Pi patted Gong Du's shoulder in front of him to indicate that he was fine, and then said to Zhang Mancheng in a deep voice: "Qu Shuai! Believe it or not! Gong Du and I have never surrendered to the imperial court! Until now, we have never
Not some royal eagle dog!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Mancheng took a deep breath, finally calmed down, snorted with disdain, and shouted: "Don't tell me such clumsy lies! Do you think I will believe it? Lies
When you are here, don’t forget the dog skin you are wearing!”
Seeing that Zhang Mancheng refused to believe it, Liu Pi and Gong Du could only smile bitterly. Gong Du said: "Qu Shuai, we know that it is very difficult for you to believe that we have not defected to the imperial court! But we can both
God swears! Ever since we were in Nanyang that day, we have never thought of surrendering to the imperial court! We haven’t even thought of it until now!"
As he said this, Gong Du told him in full what he had experienced in Nanyang, including being captured by Huang Zhong that day and following Luo Yang here before. Finally, Gong Du said: "Qu Shuai! Neither do I.
I plan to hide it from you! The more than a thousand officers and soldiers brought by the lord are all temporary recruits from Nanyang City, and they have only been trained in Nanyang City for just over a month!"
Recruit! Zhang Mancheng's cheeks began to twitch. He didn't expect that he had more than 50,000 troops in his hands, but he was so frightened by a mere thousand recruits that he didn't dare to go out! Zhang Mancheng just wanted to slap himself hard!
Zhang Mancheng has already believed more than half of Gong Du's words. Gong Du's personality is different from Liu Pi's. He usually talks less and does more things. He is not as clever as Liu Pi, but what he said is definitely the truth!
What Zhang Mancheng couldn't accept the most was that in Gong Du's words, his failure in Nanyang City was entirely due to a young man in his twenties! Zhang Mancheng has been studying with Zhang Jiao since he became a disciple more than ten years ago.
, although he doesn’t think highly of himself, he thinks he is much better than the average person. Now he is completely defeated in the hands of such a young person. How can Zhang Mancheng bear it!
However, the honest man Gong Du did not notice the change in Zhang Mancheng's expression, but continued: "Qu Shuai! Although I have not seen much of the world, I can see that the lord is definitely not a thing in the pool! Brothers, if you follow the lord
, you will definitely not suffer any loss!”
"Stop talking!" Zhang Mancheng shouted with veins popping out on his forehead: "I want to see how capable that boy who is so highly regarded by you is! If he has the ability, let him break through my village gate! Defeat him in an upright manner.
I! I want to make my brothers work for him so easily! I’m dreaming!”
