"I have treated you well, so why should I betray you?"
Three to four hundred people knelt in front of Li Yue, with two Black Cloud Mountain soldiers behind each person holding their shoulders. Everyone in the village was summoned to watch.
"Do you think this general has been defeated?" Li Yue said calmly.
"General, have mercy on me. I regret that I listened to the Zheng family's instigation of discord. I am completely sincere to the general, but I was deceived by others for a moment. I beg the general to give me another chance!"
The gray-haired Yu sharpened his knife and kowtowed several times.
Li Yue laughed, "If you wait for the mutiny to happen, will you give me a chance?"
"We never thought of murdering the general!"
He has already reached this point and is still telling lies. If he really falls into their hands, it would be very difficult for him to die so happily. Li Yue smiled and glanced at Liang Xiao, "Leader Liang, What do you think you should do with them?"
The man kneeling on the ground looked at him pleadingly.
Liang Xiao cupped his hands and said, "You must obey the general's orders."
"Then Chief Liang will supervise the execution and leave no one behind."
Half of the people on the ground were slumped on the ground, and the other half were yelling, "Li Yue, you are so ambitious and cruel, you will be punished by God one day!"
"You will not die well."
"Liang Xiao, you are helping the tyrants, and today will be your tomorrow!" Yu MoDao roared hysterically.
Liang Xiao closed his eyes, "Follow the order."
Li Yue sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about whether I am dead or alive. Your family members will be demoted to slaves and all your family property will be confiscated!"
There was a burst of crying and howling among the onlookers.
Cui Jin on the side took a deep look at Li Yue, his eyes full of unbearable feelings, but in the end he didn't say much.
Liang Xiao, accompanied by more than a dozen of his followers, raised the knife and began the execution.
Every time a head was cut off, the crowd looked at Li Yue with awe.
The open space in front of the cottage was soon stained red with blood.
The cold wind blew by, the dead trees rustled, thick smoke billowed in the distance, and the fire spread deep into the mountains.
There were sounds of fighting halfway up the mountain, and it seemed that Zhang Yu was launching a fierce attack.
Half an hour later, 372 heads fell to the ground, the corpses were thrown off the cliff, and the blood was covered with loess again. Except for the strong smell of blood, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Prestige, prestige, prestige first and then credibility.
"From now on, there will be no Xuanyuan Mountain. All the soldiers will be sent to the war barracks. Wei Shan, Cui Jin, Xu Cheng, and Liang Xiao will all be promoted to captains!"
Even though he is a wild man, he still has to give what is due.
Jiangdong's appointment may come at some time. Black Cloud Mountain and Xuanyuan Mountain are connected together, with a radius of more than two hundred miles. Together, the women, old and young, there are more than 35,000 people, which is already a considerable force. .
"Thank you, General!" The three of them handed over their hands.
The sound of fighting at the foot of the mountain is getting louder and louder, and getting closer and closer. Occasionally, a few feather arrows can be seen flying out of the mountain forest and flying into the sky.
Everyone's eyes glanced at Li Yue again.
Although Zhang Yu is known as the governor of Yuzhou, he is the most ruthless refugee commander who has emerged in the past ten years.
People who can rise up in the land of hundreds of battles in the Central Plains are naturally not ordinary people.
That’s why so many people on the mountain responded to him.
However, while others were afraid of Zhang Yu, Li Yue looked calm and calm, and Xu Cheng was pretending to retreat as planned.
On the flat ground, Li Yue admitted that the three Heiyun Mountains were no match for Zhang Yu, but if they were on the mountain, it would be a different matter. "Martial law is enforced on the mountain. All tribesmen gather on the main peak. They are not allowed to go out unless they have nothing to do. Scouts patrol day and night." .”
The crowd was driven back to the village.
Wei Shan said: "We are in a hurry to attack and kill, why not go down the mountain and fight? Even if Zhang Yu has strong soldiers and horses, what can he do to me?"
Liang Xiao is also eager to try.
Cui Jin looked calm.
The huge commotion at the foot of the mountain shows that Zhang Yu's morale is high and he has plenty of energy.
"This battle has just begun, why should you be impatient? You might as well wait a moment." Li Yue stood up and walked between the soldiers.
You can faintly feel their eagerness to fight.
After taking out various equipment from Xuanyuan Mountain's treasury, Li Yue personally put on leather armor for a tall soldier.
A small gesture that made the soldier's eyes filled with gratitude.
The way to behave as a human being is the same as that of a general: be ruthless when you need to be ruthless, and be benevolent and righteous when you need to be benevolent.
After a while, the movement at the foot of the mountain gradually became less frequent.
The scout came to report, "Lieutenant Xu retreated to Qingnikou, but Zhang Yujun also rested where he was."
Will Zhang Yu pursue Xu Cheng?
It was a bit beyond Li Yue's expectation. Could it be that he saw something?
Anything can happen on the battlefield.
However, if time delays, it will be beneficial to our side on the whole...
As the sun sets in the west, the mountains are dyed with golden color, magnificent and magnificent.
In the cold wind, a general in his forties wearing a basin collar was staring at a burnt corpse attentively, and then looked at the top of the mountain, but his vision was blocked by the mountains.
"The thieves have retreated. Why don't you go all out and kill all the chickens and dogs in the Lord's village?" Zheng Sheng gritted his teeth and said.
His clothes were in tatters, covered in blood and mud, and his face had several wounds scratched by thorns. He looked like a lost dog.
And standing in front of him was Zhang Yu, the governor of Yuzhou in Jie Zhao.
Zhang Yu glanced at him sideways and said in a cold tone: "Do you know why you lost?"
Zheng Sheng was stunned and didn't know why he mentioned this matter. "It's all because of Gou Zhan's incompetence and Liang Xiao's betrayal of me. That's why we were defeated like this."
"So it's all other people's fault and has nothing to do with you?" Zhang Yu teased.
Although the Zheng family supported Zhang Yu in the early years, Zheng Sheng would never dare to be rude to him, "Please give me some advice."
"Great ambition but little talent!" Zhang Yu didn't give him any face.
Zheng Sheng's face turned red when he was reprimanded in front of so many people. He always thought highly of himself and was outstanding in his family. He thought he could guide the country and control the world. Unexpectedly, he fell into trouble as soon as he went out and fell into the hands of a bandit. superior.
Zhang Yu sneered and said, "Knowing ourselves and our enemies means we can fight a hundred battles. Just take a look at these corpses."
The charred corpse was beyond recognition and was so hideous that Zheng Sheng couldn't help but feel sick.
"Did you see anything?" Zhang Yu's tone had already given up on him and said straightforwardly: "Since he was burned to death, why are there knife and spear wounds on the bones?"
Sure enough, there were one or two wounds on each charred corpse. Although the skin and flesh were charred, clear fractures were left on the bones.
It's hard to spot without looking carefully.
"Could these corpses be placed here intentionally by thieves?" Zheng Sheng sweated on his forehead.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "You can teach me. The thieves put so many corpses in order to create the illusion of heavy casualties and lure me to continue the fierce attack. Moreover, at three consecutive passes, the enemy collapsed at the first touch and the formation was not disordered."
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, Zhang Yu's vision and battlefield intuition are definitely not bad, otherwise he would not be where he is today.
"Bah, the Black Cloud Mountain thieves are insidious and cunning!" Guo Ning jumped out and cursed at an inappropriate time.
There was no chance for him to speak on this occasion.
Zheng Sheng frowned slightly, "Do you have any plan to defeat the enemy?"
Zhang Yu's eyes drifted back and forth between the two of them, "Our army has strong soldiers and horses, why do we need to use tactics? Whenever we use our troops, we must use force to defeat them. If we are opportunistic, thieves will take advantage of them."
