"Kill! Long live the Yellow Turban! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The shocking sound of killing finally rang out in Lujiang City. Because the city gate was not closed in time, dozens of Yellow Turban generals and more Yellow Turban Army cavalry rushed in. In less than ten minutes, the Yellow Turban Army took control of Lujiang.
The north gate of the city.
The cold blade was placed on Hou Cheng's neck. At Hou Cheng's signal, his guards surrendered without any resistance.
"Why...why are you doing this?" Guo Jia stared at Hou Cheng, who had a calm expression, and asked calmly.
At this time, Hou Cheng had already cooperated and handed over the spear in his hand and the sword at his waist. He glanced at Guo Jia and was not moved at all by the extremely unfavorable battle situation for his side.
"I can order the troops in the city to give up resistance, but before I see the Yellow Turban King Ming, please restrain your soldiers from launching an attack."
"Oh?" Guo Jia thought. Hou Cheng had been following Lu Bu a long time ago. At that time, Hanzhong Military Academy had not even been established, so Guo Jia did not think that Hou Cheng would be a military spy for his side. But at this time, Hou Cheng
Cheng's performance was clearly giving Lujiang City away, and even Guo Jia couldn't figure out the reason for it.
But now the Yellow Turban Army has controlled the north gate of Lujiang City. Seeing a steady stream of troops marching to the front line, the total strength of the Yellow Turban Army in the battle soon exceeded the Lujiang defenders, so Guo Jia pondered for a while and finally nodded.
Said: "Okay, I promise you."
The sound of killing gradually subsided. After Guo Jia's order was issued, the Yellow Turban Army quickly built a defense line in the occupied area of the city to stop the attack. At this time, the defenders of Lujiang City also got a chance to breathe in panic.
Without the command of the general, it would be impossible for them to organize an effective counterattack.
Along with Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, who was escorted to the front of Qinyang's horse, was also struggling to support himself outside the city. After the ambush reinforcements from the Yellow Turban Army arrived, Cao Xing and the five thousand elite soldiers under his command were completely divided and surrounded. And Cao Xing was completely surrounded.
Xing was also captured alive under the siege of Liao Hua and several other generals.
"General Hou, you also..." Cao Xing looked at Hou Cheng, who was also tied up beside him, and muttered in despair. The two generals of Lujiang City were all captured, and Lujiang City must not be saved.
Hou Cheng glanced at Cao Xing, but did not speak to him. Instead, he turned his attention to the young man sitting on the white horse in front of him.
"The defeated general Hou Cheng. See His Royal Highness the Yellow Turban King Ming."
Qin Yang was naturally a little proud of having captured Lujiang City with just a little trick. But after hearing Guo Jia's report, he asked with some doubts: "Are you General Hou Cheng? Who's here?
, Untie General Hou!"
Under the surprised gazes of the generals and Cao Xing, Hou Cheng was quickly released from his bonds. After moving his muscles a little, Hou Cheng bowed to Qin Yang again and said: "Hou Cheng has long admired His Highness Prince Ming.
Tianwei. I am willing to die to serve His Highness."
What?! The generals may still understand Qin Yang's order to loosen the bonds, but it is unimaginable for anyone to imagine that Lu Bu's trusted generals surrendered so easily.
Cao Xing, who was still tied in place, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly yelled, "Hou Cheng! You weakling! You are a bastard who seeks glory behind your back! I bribed you just to untie you. Shameless"
Disciple!..."
"Guan Hai, go and shut this guy's mouth! Well, yes. Just use your unwashed socks..."
"Ah, it stinks! Qin Yang, you are so despicable... Uh, uh..."
After Qin Yang glanced at Cao Xing, who was "full of tears" because of Guan Hai's socks, he said to Hou Cheng calmly: "The famous wise general Hou Cheng has joined me, and I naturally welcome it. But...
Why are you doing this?"
Hou Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Good birds choose trees to roost in. Although I, Hou Cheng, am not a talented person, I still think I have some abilities. Naturally, I don't want to be buried..."
Qin Yang laughed and shook his head: "You can defeat the elite of our Yellow Turban Army by luring the enemy, and you can also see through our army's strategy. Does General Hou's evaluation of himself be too low? For a great man with both civil and military skills like the general,
Talent, how can it be just some ability?"
Just after passing the country's reward, Qin Yang had already judged that when Liao Hua appeared outside Lujiang City with more than a hundred people, Hou Cheng must have seen the Yellow Turban Army's strategy. But Hou Cheng deliberately fought with
Cao Xing went out of the city together to give the Yellow Turban Army a chance to capture Lujiang City. At the most critical moment, he deliberately ordered the city to be opened to allow the Yellow Turban Army to successfully enter the city.
But this way, Qin Yang couldn't understand even more why Hou Cheng wanted to surrender to him. Could it be that Hou Cheng had wanted to surrender since the war started?
When Hou Cheng saw Qin Yang thinking deeply, he couldn't help but said lightly: "Does your Highness think that the general is trying to surrender?"
Hou Cheng's words undoubtedly spoke to Qin Yang's heart. Fake surrender is a common tactic used by both sides when the two armies are fighting. However, using a city and an army of 100,000 as the price for fake surrender is a bit too high.
…
Thinking of this, Qin Yang laughed and said: "Haha, what did General Hou say? If I, Qin Yang, are so suspicious, who of the wise people in the world would dare to defect?"
"Your Highness is an honest gentleman, and Hou Cheng is grateful. Your Highness can rest assured that since the general has sworn allegiance to Your Highness, he will never have second thoughts towards Your Highness. As for the defenders in Lujiang City, I am confident that all I have to do is climb up and give a shout.
, they will definitely surrender to His Highness and hand over Lujiang City."
"That's easy to say..." Qin Yang chuckled, but he didn't expect Hou Cheng to be so flawless in what he said. Although Lujiang City was within easy reach, he still asked with some uneasiness: "I just didn't know that General Hou had made such great contributions and wanted me to grant him the title."
What title do you have?"
"Hmm..." Although Cao Xing, who was tied to the side, was beaten to a pulp, he could still hear the conversation between Hou Cheng and Qin Yang. At this time, the two of them had already begun to talk about being promoted to an official position.
, couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and roared at Hou Cheng again and again.
Hou Cheng turned to look at Cao Xing and smiled slightly, and then said to Qin Yang: "Your Highness clearly knows that Hou Cheng is a defeated general and has no merit. Therefore, he does not dare to ask for promotion or promotion. I just hope that Your Highness will win."
Later, you can sympathize with us defeated generals and open up a way for us to survive. The other is General Cao Xing, who is worthy of his brother and has been friends with me for many years. I can't bear to see General Cao's body missing, so I ask Your Highness to hand him over to me.
, I will persuade him to submit to King Ming."
"In this case, I will wrong General Hou first. Guan Hai, give Cao Cao to General Hou, and send someone to accompany General Hou to Lujiang City to accept the surrender!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Hou Cheng didn't say much. He came directly to Cao Xing and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, I have to wrong you for a moment..."
"Uh, uh...!" Cao Xingwu struggled and glared at Hou Cheng. If eyes could kill, I believe Hou Cheng would have died countless times by now.
But Hou Cheng didn't take it seriously and signaled the sergeants on the left and right to strode towards the direction of Lujiang City with Cao Xing, who was constantly twisting.
After Hou Cheng left, Guo Jiacai slowly came to Qin Yang's side and said, "Your Highness, this guy Hou Cheng..."
"This kid didn't tell the truth, but it doesn't look like he's pretending to surrender..." Qin Yang's eyes flashed and he said in deep thought: "Why did he do this?"
Shouchun City, in the middle of the ruins, a huge pitch-black tent was erected high and high. The tent was so big that it could accommodate nearly ten thousand people without feeling crowded at all.
I don't know whether it is because millions of souls died tragically at the same time and their souls are still alive, or for some other reason, but the entire Shouchun City is filled with an extremely sinister atmosphere. Especially near the camp, the sinister winds are even more chilling.
There was silence in the big tent. Hundreds of generals stood with their heads bowed in the big tent. The heart-stopping wind in the big tent became even more fierce. Even these powerful fighters would be stunned if they did not use their fighting spirit to resist.
Trembling.
"Hou Cheng and Cao Xing surrendered to Qin Yang. Like you people, they have sworn allegiance to me. Can I still trust you?" Some gloomy voices came from the high platform in the center of the tent, just
The hell-like pressure contained in the voice made all the generals in the tent shudder in unison.
"Lord, don't worry. Our loyalty to your lord is a lesson! I, Gao Shun, swear to the death not to be like Hou Cheng and Cao Xing, who betray the Lord and seek glory!" After the silence, Gao Shun was the first to bow and speak, with red eyes.
There was a cold light flickering in the air. But even with the "Eye of Breaking Formation", he did not dare to raise his head and look directly at the red-haired man on the high platform.
"We will swear allegiance to our lord to the death!" With Gao Shun taking the lead, the rest of the generals also shouted in unison, swearing their loyalty.
"Well... you are very good." Lu Bu nodded on the high platform, seeming to be very satisfied with the oaths of his generals. After a moment, he spoke again: "Apart from Diao Chan, the only one I can trust is you...
As long as you work for me loyally, after I take over the world, you will all be like me, possessing the strength and authority that everyone will fear! Do you still remember what I told you?"
As soon as Lu Bu said these words, the hearts of all the generals in the tent were stunned. After secretly looking at each other, they finally agreed in unison: "Only the devil is the only one in the world! The devil comes to the world, and all souls are conquered."
Surrender!”
"Hahaha...well said! The devil has come to the world, and all souls surrender!" On the high platform, Lu Bu laughed to the sky amidst the shouts of the generals, with his red hair flying, and a pair of eyes shining with a strange light.
"I never thought that my fate, Lu Bu, would be to be the enemy of everyone in the world! But even so, I have no regrets!"
The sound of wild laughter instantly spread everywhere, and came out of the big black tent. Outside the big tent, a huge black flag fluttered fiercely in the howling wind, with huge scarlet words embroidered on the flag - "Demon"
