Chapter 140: Thieves and Bandits (two in one chapter)
Han Xian realized that he really shouldn't come here to stir up this troubled waters.
It was the first time I used the tactic of feinting to surrender. Before I even said a word to the opponent's camp, the opponent had already faked his intention to surrender...
From the Xia Dynasty, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and now to today... In the civilization of more than two thousand years, people who cheat and surrender are so devastated that it makes people cry. I can be regarded as the number one person.
It would be such an injustice if he really died like this.
"Here comes someone." Tao Shang shouted loudly outside the camp, and when he was young, he saw the four brothers of the Pei family filing in.
Raising his finger and pointing at Han Xian, who was still stunned, Tao Shang chuckled and said, "Please come on, Marshal Han."
"Slow! Slow! Wait a minute!"
Han Xian hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the Pei brothers who were about to catch him, and said anxiously: "Master Tao, you can't treat me like this! Siam came to submit sincerely! If Master Tao kills me, wouldn't it be wrong?
Has it chilled the hearts of scholars all over the world?!"
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows, looking very surprised.
"You yourself admitted to me about the false surrender just now, why are you blaming me again? Besides, you are a bandit leader, how can the hearts of the scholars be cold if I kill you?... That's what they should do if they applaud and applaud you.
performance, right?”
Han Xian was speechless when the pottery merchant asked him, and he had no idea how to answer.
It seems that I really can't get along with the scholars.
Han Xian's expression was so cute that Tao Shang laughed angrily and said pleasantly: "It seems that you really won't be convinced until you figure it out... Well, I'll introduce you to someone."
, after you meet him later, you will know whether Tao has wronged you."
Han Xian wanted to speak again, but Tao Shang did not give him a chance. With a wave of his hand, the four Pei brothers came up to restrain Han Xian and dragged him out of the camp. The men brought by Han Xian
, at this moment, they were also subdued by the soldiers of the Tiger Guard outside the tent.
After the matter was over, the pottery merchant arranged for someone to bring Yang Feng's confidant to the commander's tent.
Although Yang Feng's messenger was entertained with delicious food and drinks by the Xuzhou army, the pottery merchant refused to let him go back, which made him feel uneasy and uneasy. Thousands of thoughts went through his mind, and he didn't know what the pottery merchant's plan was.
.
After tossing and turning like this for a long time, when the pottery merchant finally sent someone to invite him, Yang Feng's messenger's tense heart didn't know whether he should relax or continue to be nervous.
"Master Tao... Do you want the villain to go back and report to Yang Shuai?" After entering the commander's tent, Yang Feng's confidant asked anxiously.
The pottery merchant smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will let you go back soon, but before you go back, please repeat to me what you just said to me when you arrived here this morning.
Once again.”
Yang Feng's messenger seemed a little confused. His eyes were blinking and he couldn't figure it out for a long time.
"Sir...what...what do you mean?"
The pottery merchant encouraged him: "Just tell me the message your Yang Shuai brought to me in its entirety..."
Although Yang Feng's messenger didn't understand what the potter was playing, in order to quickly return to Baibo Valley to report to Yang Feng, he still spoke word by word: "Yang Shuai said that he has given advice to Guo Qushuai, so he ordered
Guo Qushuai sent Han Xian, the third master, to pretend to surrender to Mr. Tao. When the time comes, Han Xian will propose to you a plan to lure Mr. Tao into the Baibo Valley, and Mr. Tao can use the plan to send troops into Zibo City. At that time, Commander Yang will be in the valley to cooperate.
The young master captured and killed Guo Da, Han Xian, Hu Cai and other thieves' leaders in one fell swoop, and presented them to the young master's tent..."
"Very good." The pottery merchant stretched out his hand to stop Yang Feng's words, then stood up and shouted to the outside of the tent: "Bring him in..."
Outside the handsome tent, the four brothers of the Pei family pushed the tied-up Han Siam into the handsome tent.
Han Xian's face was dark, and his eyes were blazing with fire as he glared at Yang Feng's messenger.
If it weren't for the rope tied around his body, Han Xian would probably have pounced on the messenger and bit the messenger several times.
When the messenger saw Han Xian appearing in the commander's tent, he was immediately stunned. His legs kept swinging, and he said in bewilderment and horror: "Han... Han Shuai!"
"How dare Yang Feng, the thief, do this! I swear to kill his whole family and destroy the ancestral graves of three generations!"
Even if Han Siam had a good relationship with Yang Feng on weekdays, he suddenly heard that Yang Feng had betrayed the entire Baibo Valley and even his own life! The relationship was thrown into the dog's belly at this moment.
No matter how well-trained Han Xian was, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart. What's more, he himself had no qualities, so he turned his anger into countless swear words, all of which were sprayed out at the messenger, and Yang was shouted at.
The messenger was stunned.
The messenger was at a loss at this moment. He pointed at Han Xian and trembled angrily at Tao Shang: "Master Tao... you... what do you mean?!"
Tao Shang stood up, sighed helplessly, and said: "Tao understands your Yang Shuai's kindness, but Shang has been adhering to Confucian teachings since he was a child, and takes loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life..."
Hearing this, Yang Feng's messenger wished he could chop him into pieces with a knife. The more pieces he could chop into pieces, the better.
"Although your Yang Shuai's plan is beneficial to me, it is too vicious. The last time he took the initiative to reveal to me Guo Da's underground activities and whereabouts, at that time I felt that he was very unauthentic..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xian was heard jumping like a furious lion, squealing and glaring: "What a Yang Feng! It's true that you betrayed your eldest brother, I'm not done with you! We are incompatible! Traitor! God!"
Kill the traitor!"
Tao Shang smiled and waved his hand to Han Xian, telling him to calm down and said: "Han Shuai, don't shout so loudly. You are a thief or not. Tao feels that you are not qualified to talk about Yang Feng."
Hearing that Tao Shang even shook the story of Guo Da's tunnel in front of Han Xian, the messenger's forehead was dripping with sweat like water, and he said tremblingly: "What on earth do you want?"
"Tao doesn't want to do anything, and he doesn't want to do anything... I will let you go back now. Tell your Yang Shuai, the third boss of Baibo Valley, that Tao will kill him within an hour after you leave."
Returning to Zibo City, within this hour, if Yang Shuai can decisively send people to kill Han Shuai and prevent him from returning to Zibo Valley to inform Guo Da, then it will be Yang Shuai's good luck, but if he
If you can't do it, when Marshal Han returns to Zibo City, please ask Marshal Yang of your family to be able to pray for yourself."
How could Yang Feng's messenger not understand what Tao Shang was thinking at this moment? He was nakedly trying to divide the Bai Bo army!
But the troublesome thing is that even if they knew the potter's evil intentions, they had no way to stop it!
The matter has been done, and as far as Yang Feng is concerned, there is no room for change.
"You...you...you have such a cruel mind!"
The pottery merchant smiled, looked at the messenger innocently, and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You don't have much time. Why do you still have the time to blame others here?"
After saying that, he raised his finger and pointed at Han Xian. Tao Shang said quietly: "I will release him immediately after an hour."
Yang Feng's messenger suddenly choked when he heard this. He stamped his feet angrily, turned his head and rushed out of the pottery merchant's handsome tent like the wind.
The potter slowly turned his head, looked at Han Xian, and asked him calmly: "How do you feel?"
Han Xian's eyes were fixed on the pottery merchant. Although he was very angry, he didn't say much at the moment.
Just now, the pottery merchant promised that he would be released after an hour, but he didn't know whether this was true or not.
"Don't worry, I will let you go back." Seeing the doubts in Han Xian's heart, Tao Shang spoke up for him and said slowly: "And it won't be after an hour, I will let you go after half an hour...
...Han Shuai, be careful when you go back, don't let the foresighted Yang Feng find an opportunity to intercept you in the middle of the road, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
Half an hour was just right. Yang Feng had no time to make arrangements to intercept and kill Han Xian, and it was impossible for Han Xian to chase Yang Feng's messenger.
Han Xian swallowed and said tremblingly: "Tao, what do you mean by this move? Do you still want to divide our Baibo Army?"
Tao Shang smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, I admit that I just want to divide your Baibo Army, but even if I admit it, what can you do, Han Shuai? After the messenger returns, as expected, Yang Feng will turn his back.
, he will definitely gather some of his available troops to attack you and Guo Da, will you still sit back and wait for death? Can't you negotiate with him? "
Han Xian snorted coldly when he heard this and said nothing.
He secretly thought in his heart that even if Yang Feng rebelled, as long as I can inform Guo Da in time and let him mobilize troops to annihilate Yang Feng, Baibo Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you should not be able to defeat him...
This strategy of not cooperating with Yang Feng, but trying to divide us, is clearly because you are stupid.
Young people, if you get a little advantage, you will be arrogant, and you will not be able to win Baibo Valley!
But Han Xian couldn't say this to the pottery merchant. He just hoped that the pottery merchant would let him go quickly because he thought he had a plan.
Time flew by, and half an hour was up in the blink of an eye.
As expected, the pottery merchant did not break his promise. He ordered people to loosen Han Xian's rope and release the followers he had brought.
Han Xian rubbed his red wrist that had been strangled, raised his eyes and looked at the pottery merchant coldly, gave the pottery merchant a fist, turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Han Shuai, go back and tell Guo Da to quell the rebellion. Tao will definitely fight him head-on on the battlefield the next day! I'm not afraid of Dong Zhuo, so why should I be afraid of him, a mere bandit?"
When Han Xian heard this, his heart moved, and then he couldn't help but sneered secretly.
Ignorant people, sooner or later I will let you know the bitter consequences of your being so generous today.
"Han will definitely convey Mr. Tao's words!"
Looking at Han Xian's disappearing back, the pottery merchant suddenly stood up and ordered to Pei Qian: "Immediately send someone to notify Bao Xin and Han Hao, and immediately integrate the troops and go to Baibo Valley. At the appropriate time, they will naturally
Someone clears the passage for us and leads us into the valley!"
"promise!"
…
…
Yang Feng's scouts were sent back first by the pottery merchant. The boy did not dare to neglect and ran back to Zibo City like flying.
At this moment, it was getting close to evening, and the Baibo Army had begun to implement a curfew in each camp. The cold wind was blowing, but Yang Feng did not keep warm inside the house. Instead, he was outside, pacing back and forth in the cold wind, feeling uneasy.
The confidant sent to find the pottery merchant set off in the morning. It was already evening now. Why didn't he come back after so long? Yang Feng couldn't help but murmur in his heart... Logically speaking, it was just a matter of spreading a message. It shouldn't be so annoying.
Bar?
Just when Yang Feng was undecided, a burst of urgent footsteps came over, but it was the messenger who was sent out who rushed towards Yang Feng in a hurry with a dusty face.
Upon seeing this, Yang Feng hurried forward to greet him and said to the panting messenger: "How is it? Is the matter done?"
The messenger had a look of impatience and dejection on his face. He knelt down in front of Yang Feng and wailed: "Shuai Yang, it's over, it's over! We've been tricked!"
Yang Feng looked at the scout with confusion, frowned and said, "Did the potter not agree?"
The messenger shook his head vigorously, gritted his teeth, and with an aggrieved face, recounted the whole story to Yang Feng intermittently.
A gust of winter wind blew from the north, blowing on Yang Feng's face, blowing out two streaks of slightly blue mucus from his nose.
Dumbfounded describes Yang Feng at this moment.
After a while, Yang Feng took a hard breath and pulled the mucus back into his nostrils with a "squeaking" sound, and then his Adam's apple rolled, as if he had swallowed it.
Looking up at the sunset that was about to set in the distance, Yang Feng's eyes straightened, and he stood in the wind and murmured to himself: "Hypocrite... hypocritical."
After the messenger told Han Xian the whole process of Yang Feng's betrayal of Guo Da, Yang Feng understood that at this moment, he had no other choice but to make a prompt decision and gather his own troops before Guo Da made any move.
Soldiers and horses, eradicate Guo Da in one fell swoop!
Of course there is another way, that is, Yang Feng now takes the blame and takes the initiative to admit his mistake to Guo Da, saying that he was confused and mistakenly fell into the enemy's conspiracy, and asked Guo Da to forgive him regardless of past suspicions and not to fall into the hands of the pottery merchant.
A provocative plan...
From the perspective of a bystander, this may be a good method, but from the perspective of the person involved, this is pure nonsense!
Who would regard their own life as a bet, hold it in both hands, and send it to Guo Da to be killed?
Even if Guo Da forgives himself because of the temporary predicament, how can he not have a gap in his heart from now on? Yang Feng will still not survive in the future.
The potter's sowing discord was very obvious, nothing was hidden, it was all in the open!
But this conspiracy leaves you with no choice. Even though you know it's a trick, you still have to close your eyes and walk in the dark until the end.
"Gather my brothers immediately... I can trust them!" Yang Feng was also a ruthless and decisive person. After thinking for a moment, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the close follower: "Hurry up and find all the brothers you can and follow me.
Go to Guo Qushuai’s residence!”
When the confidant heard this, he couldn't help but trembled, and said hurriedly: "Yang Shuai... we are... going to rebel!"
"What the hell!"
Yang Feng glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "This is to get back what should belong to me! I deserve it! ...Also, I am also doing this to save Bai Bogu! I am doing this to save Bai Bo.
Gu’s future! Do you understand?!”
The confidant seemed to be frightened by Yang Feng's ghostly appearance, but he just whispered in a submissive voice: "I understand..."
"Go! Go quickly! If it's too late, we will be the ones who die if Guo Da notices... Also, send some people out of the valley to try to intercept and kill Han Xian!" Yang Feng said gloomily.
Each of the five commanders of the Baibo Army had troops and horses, and they were all in charge of several exits in the valley. Yang Feng knew that the possibility of blocking Han Xian halfway was very low, but at this point, he had to do anything.
Give it a try...
This is treating a dead horse as a live doctor!
Yang Feng touched the severed finger on his left hand. The last time he used the bitter trick, he finally regained Guo Da's trust in him at the cost of one finger... After only a few days, he was exposed by Tao Shang.
He took out the window paper and forced himself into this desperate situation!
This finger was cut off for nothing.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel sad and angry. He raised his severed finger to the sky and cried out in grief and indignation.
"Tao... give me back your finger!"
…
…
Yang Feng was organizing manpower, and Guo Da also welcomed Han Xian, who was specially returned to Baibo Valley by the pottery merchant.
After Han Xian saw Guo Da, he did not dare to neglect and immediately described everything to Guo Da in detail.
This rhetoric only made Guo Da feel like he was struck by thunder, and he was dumbfounded.
The powerful enemies outside have not yet been wiped out, and there are rebellious thieves in the valley... What are internal and external troubles, this is it!
Although Guo Da had doubted Yang Feng last time, it was because of a moment of anger after all, and Yang Feng even chopped off his fingers to show his loyalty. On the contrary, Guo Da was moved and blamed himself... But now things have suddenly turned around.
, throwing Guo Da's heart into the abyss again.
"Second brother Yang rebelled. I didn't expect that he actually rebelled. It's a shame that I trusted him so much before... Third brother, are you not mistaken?" Guo Da was a little incoherent and asked Han Xian angrily through gritted teeth.
Han Xian nodded vigorously and said: "Boss, these are all things I have heard and seen with my own ears, how can they be false? That pottery merchant deliberately let us know, clearly because he wanted me to seize the opportunity to reap the benefits.
, but now that things have come to this, Yang Feng has to get rid of this beast!"
When Guo Da heard this, his expression flickered, and he had no idea for a while.
Over there, Hu Cai, who had been silent for a long time, said to Guo Dayan: "Brother, it is a fact that Yang Feng is rebellious. I understand that he cannot deny it no matter what. Regardless of what the potter wants, how can he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? The top priority is now
We need to get rid of this beast first to avoid future troubles!"
Guo Da said hesitantly: "But if the officers and soldiers take the opportunity to attack the valley, but our brothers kill each other, wouldn't it mean that the officers and soldiers would get an advantage in vain?"
Hearing this, Han Xian said: "Brother, I think that pottery merchant seems to be a noble man. He is young and energetic, and he somewhat looks down on us. I guess he wants to wait for us to fight each other before reaping the benefits.
Attack the valley! Otherwise, wouldn’t it be easy for him to agree to Yang Feng’s suggestion and directly enter the valley?”
Guo Da pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Although I say that, you still have to be careful..."
Hu Cai's face turned red and white at the side, and after some secret calculations, he finally stepped out, raised his hands to Guo Da and said: "Brother! I'm not talented, but I'm willing to guard the dangerous valley entrances for my eldest brother! The eldest brother will lead the troops and horses.
Go and pacify Yang Feng's rebels! My younger brother holds down the mouth of the valley to prevent the officers and soldiers from taking advantage of the situation to attack!"
Guo Da was stunned when he heard this: "Fifth brother... you..."
"Brother, this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. Please make a decision quickly!"
Han Xian agreed from the side: "Brother, the terrain of Baibo Valley is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Lao Wu is here to mediate, even if the number of Liang officers and soldiers is doubled, they will not be able to attack our Zibo city... To pacify
The traitor cannot be delayed and must make an early decision!"
Hearing this, Guo Da slammed his hand on the table and nodded: "Okay! In that case, fifth brother, take my military talisman and in my name, quickly go and take over the dangerous places in the valley. Don't let the officers and soldiers attack you."
Come in! Third brother, go quickly and gather all the troops, and follow me to chop up that traitor Yang Feng!"
Han Xian hated Yang Feng so much at this moment. Hearing this, he cupped his hands and said proudly: "No! Brother, don't worry! It's just Yang Feng, it's enough to deal with him within an hour."
But Hu Cai's heart was full of emotions at this moment.
