With a crisp sound, the Northland cavalry pulled out the bronze swords at their waists one by one.
Seeing that these wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers are about to pounce on the sheep like the artillery...
Shen Bing got ahead in time and shouted:
"Wait a minute, do you know who killed General Li Mu?"
Shen Bing was betting that they still didn't know the cause of Li Mu's death.
As long as they don't know, they will definitely be interested.
Because they were all brought out by Li Mu, many of them were deeply favored by Li Mu.
And as long as they are interested, they will definitely want to hear what Shen Bing has to say.
As long as you are willing to listen to what Shen Bing has to say...
Sure enough, the cavalrymen were stunned when they heard this, and then cast their eyes to the rear.
An officer wearing a feathered helmet broke through the crowd and walked up.
Shen Bing knew at a glance that it was a school captain, because the feathers on Wang Bai's helmet were the same.
The captain said:
"It doesn't matter what you say, the whole world knows that General Li Mu died at the hands of Zhao Cong."
"After taking your life, I will settle the score with that guy!"
When Shen Bing heard these words, his heart was half relieved.
If you want to settle accounts with Zhao Cong... Then there is a chance!
I was thinking in my heart, but put on a look of disdain on my face and chuckled:
"I wondered how capable the Northern Cavalry led by Li Mu was, but they turned out to be a bunch of trash!"
The cavalrymen immediately gave up and drew their swords and stepped forward, but were stopped by the officer.
Shen Bing had expected this. Provoking him like this would only arouse his curiosity even more.
On the other hand, it doesn't make any difference whether you take action sooner or later, so why not listen to the answer?
This is indeed the case. Military Colonel Zhao raised his head towards Shen Bing and said:
"You should tell me the cause and effect!"
"If it's the truth, I'll spare your life!"
Shen Bing said "hehe" twice in his heart.
This so-called "spare your life" is just a trick to deceive a three-year-old child.
Among these soldiers who have been on the battlefield all year round and fighting against the Xiongnu, which one of them is not ruthless? How can they leave anyone alive to cause trouble for themselves?
But of course, Shen Bing hopes that this will not be the result in the end.
Shen Bing bowed his hands towards the officer and replied:
"The captain must also know in his heart that Zhao Cong is nothing more than an executioner."
"He was actually just following King Zhao's order..."
The captain interrupted Shen Bing with a "hum":
"What you mean by this is that the king was the one who killed the general?"
Of course Shen Bing would not be so stupid. It would be too obvious to say that King Zhao had the intention to drive away wolves and fight tigers.
What's more, this is a semi-feudal and semi-slave society. Although the king's important ministers cannot be said to have to die, it is just a wrong decision, and there is no revenge.
Shen Bing replied:
"Of course it's not King Zhao."
"King Zhao was just bewitched by a villain and lost his sight for a moment."
"The person who really killed General Li Mu was the villain who bewitched the king..."
Speaking of this, Shen Bing paused intentionally.
As expected, hatred showed in the captain's eyes.
As a Zhao native, how could he not know that there were many slanderous ministers around King Zhao, so he knew that what Shen Bing said was true.
Then Shen Bing revealed the answer:
"I wonder if the captain has ever heard of Xuchang?"
"This man led the army to set up camp in Wuniu Mountain ten days ago. However, he was set on fire by our army and suffered heavy casualties."
"In this battle, only Xuchang escaped back to Handan alone."
"Because he was worried about being punished by King Zhao, he claimed that General Li Mu collaborated with the enemy and conspired to rebel, and put all the blame on General Li Mu..."
…
What Shen Bing said was true, but he didn't mention the part about using Wang Bai to implement a divorce plan.
Just kidding, if you say this, won't you be eaten alive by these cavalry?
These words only made all the Zhao soldiers filled with indignation.
The captain gritted his teeth with hatred. He glared at Shen Bing angrily and asked:
"Is this true?"
"General, did you really let that Xuchang be harmed?"
Shen Bing replied:
"There are no lies!"
"Then Xuchang not only killed General Li Mu, but also killed Wang Bai in the battle of Woniu Mountain."
"Wang Bai has surrendered to Da Qin at this time. If the captain doesn't believe it, he will know after just asking!"
The captain said "hum":
"It's okay not to talk about that traitor Wang Bai!"
"You can wait and die..."
As he spoke, he glanced around, and a group of soldiers stepped forward with swords in hand.
Shen Bing felt panicked. This was a bit inconsistent with the script.
But he didn't show it on his face, but continued to shout:
"I just want the Northern Cavalry to at least have someone who understands. They don't want to remain useless."
"Li Mu died unjustly!"
The captain said angrily:
"Don't use sweet words. How can you deceive me, Lei Hui?"
Shen Bing retorted as fast as he could:
"The captain keeps saying that he wants to avenge General Li Mu. Can you tell me how to avenge the general?"
This is not fast enough, Zhao Bing's sword is placed on his neck.
However, Lei Hui stopped him at the last moment.
Lei Hui sighed, looked at Shen Bing and nodded:
"Well, a soldier has such courage."
Shen Bing replied:
"Lei Hui must already know what I'm going to say, so why are you afraid that I'll say it?"
"Are you worried that your subordinates won't agree with you?"
"Or are you worried about your reputation?"
"Whether it is to honor one's moral integrity or to avenge General Li Mu, the general will have to make a choice today!"
The cavalrymen all turned their attention to Lei Hui. They didn't understand what Shen Bing meant.
Lei Hui's face was filled with uncertainty. He thought about it for a while before speaking to the people around him:
"What this guy said makes sense."
"Even if we escape back to Zhao, with just a few hundred people trying to avenge the general, it's just an egg against a stone."
"For today's plan..."
"If you want to avenge the general, you have to surrender to Qin and use the Qin army to kill Zhao Cong and Xuchang."
"I, Lei Hui, don't care about my reputation, so what if I am reviled by thousands of people?"
"The general has treated me with as much kindness as a mountain. Lei Hui only hopes to cut off the enemy's head to appease the general's spirit in heaven!"
"Whether you want to go or stay, I, Lei Hui, will never force you!"
The cavalry were stunned for a while, and then several of them shouted:
"I'll go with the captain!"
"Avenge the General!"
"Swear to kill the thief to appease the general!"
…
Then more and more people joined Lei Hui’s ranks.
Lei Hui nodded, then pulled out the bronze sword from his waist and threw it on the ground, raised his head towards Shen Bing and said:
"I've surrendered, take me to see your master!"
Then there was another sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang", and the cavalrymen threw their bronze swords to the ground one after another and accepted the surrender.
Xun and the other craftsmen didn't even react at this time.
Damn, what is this?
Just now my life was hanging by a thread and I thought I was going to die.
The next second, these Zhao soldiers, who had fully grasped the initiative, dropped their weapons and surrendered?
And there are so many people?
This is not a dream...
Cang, in particular, opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while without responding.
Until Shen Bing shouted:
"What are you still doing?"
"Pick up weapons!"
Only then did Cang say "Oh", and led the men forward tremblingly, carefully picking up the weapons.
From time to time, he would look up at Zhao Bing, as if he was worried that they would regret it and give him another shot...
