At this time, in a large camp, the bandit leader He Man was sitting quietly in the Chinese army tent, with a group of generals below him.
"Brother, if you're afraid of a ball, then Fancheng is just a small place, and my old horse can only do a few axes."
The big man who spoke had a full beard and intricate scars on his face, which made him look even more terrifying. He was none other than Ma Quan, the second leader of Jigong Mountain, who was good at using a double axe.
"That's right, it's just Fancheng. We can drown even if we spit..."
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans below were shouting angrily, and the scene was chaotic. However, the bandit leader He Man was not annoyed. Instead, he was very proud and his morale was commendable.
Military advisor Qian Bojun also had a toothache when he saw this scene. The scouts he sent had disappeared without a trace. It seemed that Fan Cheng should not be underestimated.
Just when he was about to say a reminder, a report from a soldier came from outside.
"Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao came to visit Chief He Man."
You must know that Zhou Cang was also a Xiaoqushuai of the Yellow Turban Army, and he was quite famous. When he heard that an old friend was visiting, He Man couldn't help but happily welcomed him out.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Pei, please quickly..."
"Come here, let's set up a banquet. I'm going to drink three hundred glasses of wine with two good friends today."
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao recommended themselves to persuade He Man.
They used to work under Qu Shuai, and they knew each other well, but there was no close friendship. But now that the Yellow Turban Army had been almost wiped out, He Man felt that they had a sympathy for each other when he saw them, so he was so enthusiastic.
"Come and finish this bowl..."
He Man raised the wine bowl in his hand and said enthusiastically.
"Both brothers are so happy..."
A loud laugh spread throughout the big tent.
As the three drank the wine in one gulp, the soldiers next to them refilled their glasses.
Zhou Cang drank another bowl of wine, which was as light as water and incomparable to Fancheng's wine.
However, this is not the time to comment on wine. If you can persuade He Man to join the Lord without losing any blood, it will be a great achievement.
"By the way, I heard that the two brothers were setting up their own mountains on Youlong Mountain. Why did they come to my place?"
Zhou Cang drank down the wine in his hand with a sad look on his face.
"Brother, you don't know. Since Qu Shuai was killed by Huangpu Song, my two brothers escaped with their lives, and there are only 5,000 men left under them."
"The three princes and generals have all been shattered. Now that the dragons have taken over, many brothers have either defected to the imperial court or been torn apart. Now it is difficult to save their lives."
"Thinking about it, we brothers originally wanted to be crowned princes and prime ministers, but now we have turned into bandits. Brother, I have been thinking about it day and night. I can't let my brothers carry the title of bandit forever."
He Man, who was still smiling at first, became darker and darker as he listened. He raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl.
"So you two are here as lobbyists."
Bang, bang, bang...
Ma Quan waited for the bandit to draw out the long knife from his waist and was about to pounce on him.
"He Man, my lord is wise and martial, a serious member of the Han clan, and has a benevolent heart as a doctor. Don't you want to think about your brothers?"
Zhou Cang was not at all frightened by the flash of swords on both sides, and after finishing speaking, he drank another mouthful of wine.
"He Man, I, Pei Yuanshao, respect you as a man. Otherwise, I would never come to fight with you. We would have fought on the battlefield long ago."
Pei Yuanshao also drank a bowl of wine and said.
At this time, Military Advisor Qian Bojun stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Liu Qi only has a man of eight thousand men. My brother Jigongshan has fifty thousand men. He asked us to take refuge with him. Zhou Cang, are you out of your mind?"
The bandit leader He Man waved his hand, and Ma Quan and others withdrew their swords.
"What the military advisor said is true. I chose to be an official of the imperial court even if I wanted to join him. Liu Qi's son doesn't even have an official status. How about we join forces with someone inside and outside. As long as Fancheng is destroyed, how about taking the gold, silver and jewels at will?"
After hearing this, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao knew that it was impossible to get He Man to surrender.
After all, he used to be a comrade of the Yellow Turban Army, so he wanted to help him, but He Man was arrogant and thought he could conquer Fancheng by relying on his large number of people.
This guy also set up a counter plan for himself. Fortunately, the master is a wise man.
Otherwise, relying on the fact that both of them are from the Yellow Turban Army and are in harmony with each other, if these words reach the ears of a mediocre master, I am afraid they will still be suspicious.
"He Man, please think about it..."
Zhou Cang wanted to continue speaking but was suddenly interrupted.
"No need, let's see the guests off."
"Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, let's meet on the battlefield."
The bandit leader He Man waved his guests off, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao had no choice but to leave.
"Big boss, why don't you let me wait to kill these two guys who sell themselves for glory?"
The second leader, Ma Quan, said angrily, after all, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were quite famous in the past and had extraordinary martial arts skills.
The other bandits were also shouting, and some were ready to chase them out.
These words made He Man's face change slightly. Zhou Cang's martial arts skills were extraordinary, but he himself was also a little embarrassed.
Seeing that a group of bandits were about to chase them out, military advisor Qian Bojun suddenly stood up.
"Wait a minute, as the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoys, they are just two reckless men. I have 50,000 troops in Jigong Mountain. How can I be afraid of two people?"
As soon as these words came out, He Man, who was originally hesitant, let go again.
"The military advisor is right. Everyone should eat well and drink well. Once Fancheng is destroyed, we will use a big scale to divide the gold and silver..."
"The leader is wise and powerful, unparalleled in the world..."
Hearing the roar of the small leaders who were dividing the gold and silver, their eyes were full of greed.
I have long heard that Fancheng is very wealthy and there must be many women in it.
"Go quickly."
After leaving He Man's military tent, Zhou Cang suddenly whispered, and the two of them jumped on their horses and ran all the way.
"Brother, why is this happening? Does He Man really have no regard for morality?"
Pei Yuanshao asked confusedly. After all, he was once a colleague of Qu Shuai.
"I can't tell, I just noticed a fierce light flashing in Na He Man's eyes. I might regret letting us both go..."
call……
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao whipped their mounts hard and rode away.
"Military advisor, why did you stop me from killing those two guys?"
Military advisor Qian Bojun knew that although leader He Man looked like a rough guy, he was actually very thoughtful.
"Chief, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao are both from the Yellow Turban Army. Even if they join Liu Qi, I'm afraid they will be jealous. It's better to let them go than to kill them."
After hearing what military advisor Xu Ji said, He Man couldn't help laughing.
What the military advisor said makes sense. Maybe these two guys will be severely interrogated by Liu Qi'er when they go back. If they are suspicious again, they might turn around and fight.
"This bitch He Man is so insidious."
Pei Yuanshao's double hammers pushed away the flying arrows behind him and shouted.
Zhou Cang felt good. More than a hundred cavalry suddenly appeared from behind and kept shooting bows and arrows.
Seeing that the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao beat their mounts desperately.
