I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 5 This is no longer an ordinary yellow turban thief
Cheng Yu laughed loudly, put the roasted dog leg in front of his mouth and blew on it:
"What are you talking about Yuan Zhi? How can I not believe what Yuan Zhi says? Zifeng, Yuan Zhi has had a hard journey, take Yuan Zhi to rest first! I will discuss with Wen Bo and see when we can send troops to exterminate the thief."

Xu Shu knelt down and kowtowed, then thanked him and said:

"I am willing to be a pioneer for Duke Cheng, to be a strong man, and to make great achievements."

Cheng Yu smiled and said:
"Gong Cao is a man of merit. Gong Liu is also a knight-errant. He is now in charge of the central army and is very popular with Duke Cao. I think Duke Cao will definitely like Yuan Zhi when he meets him."

Xu Shu knew that Cheng Yu was deliberately stabilizing him. He pretended not to know and kowtowed even more affectionately:

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Wen, for your support."

Wen Ji was in a good mood. He took Xu Shu back to the camp. In order to show his trust in him, he let him live in his tent and had food delivered to him.

Xu Shu asked Wen Ji to share some meals with the refugees who came with him. Wen Ji chuckled and said that of course he didn't have to do such a thing.

In the middle of the night, Wen Ji and Xu Shu rested against each other and fell asleep. Xu Shu, of course, couldn't sleep because he could hear heavy footsteps outside the tent.

Wen Ji stood up suddenly, raised his sword and shouted:

"Who dares to come near my tent?"

A voice came from outside the tent:
"it's me."

This was Cheng Yu's voice. Wen Ji didn't dare to delay, so he quickly opened the tent door and asked Cheng Yu to come in.

Cheng Yu, who was eight feet tall, was covered in armor. Under the dim candlelight, neither Xu Shu nor Wen Ji could see his face clearly.

He sneered:

"Xu Shu, say what you said during the day again."

Wen Ji was shocked:
"Is what Yuan Zhi said false?"

Xu Shu was very calm. He started to talk about how he met Mr. Ai and how Mr. Ai asked him to go to Luocao in Liangshan.

These were originally true. He just gave Mr. Ai the identity of a yellow turban thief. He spoke naturally, quickly and clearly, and soon repeated what Bai Ri said clearly.

After hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded silently. After a moment, he grinned:
"I believe Yuan Zhi, but Wenbo doesn't believe it, so I have to ask. It's exactly what Yuan Zhi said."

Of course, Cheng Yu couldn't completely believe Xu Shu's words.

To be cautious, he arrested all the refugees and questioned them one by one. They all talked about Mr. Ai's advice to Xu Shu to go to Liangshan Luocao, and said that it would be a good place for bandits a thousand years later.

There were slight differences in what different refugees said, but in general they all said the same thing. They said that Xu Shu was furious when he heard about being a thief. He originally wanted to turn around and head west, but Mr. Ai tried to persuade him, but he was knocked over by Xu Shu with a punch. .

Afterwards, Cheng Yu tortured Mr. Ai again. Mr. Ai was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He kept saying that he was a time traveler from a thousand years later and was here to help Duke Cao achieve great things. He cried and asked Cheng Yu not to believe Xu Shu's lies. Xu Shu In history, he was an evil thief who helped Liu Bei, a hypocrite.

He told Cheng Yu with snot and tears that Xu Shu was famous for being in Cao Cao's camp and his heart in Han. He was completely oriented towards Liu Bei and had no good intentions at all. As a time traveler, he admired Cao Cao's tyranny. Compared with Liu Bei's hypocrisy, he I prefer Cao Cao's true temperament, so I came to help Cao Cao achieve hegemony and become emperor in the future.

Cheng Yu listened with amusement at first, but when he heard it later, he broke into a cold sweat.

Good guy.

Cheng Yu had never seen this kind of yellow turban thief before. The previous yellow turban thief's ideas were very simple. They just made up slogans and led a group of hungry and unruly people to cause chaos. The more powerful ones were to gather mountain bandits to rebel. This yellow turban thief also Will it hurt your heart?

Fortunately, Xu Shu captured him. If he went to Mount Tai and spread the word that they wanted to help Cao Cao become emperor, would Cao Cao believe it or not?

Don't beat them, they continued, there must be some people who think Cao Cao just wants to be emperor, otherwise why don't you beat these people.

Beat them up... What if, what if, if Duke Cao really has this idea in the future, will his subordinates persuade him or not?
This is no longer an ordinary yellow turban thief, he must hit hard.

He immediately asked someone to put Mr. Ai in a prison car. He was afraid that he would talk nonsense and blocked his mouth with rags. He wrote a letter to Cao Cao explaining the matter and asking Cao Cao to decide whether to kill the person who helped him proclaim himself emperor.

Afterwards, he discussed with Zhu Ling and asked him to temporarily guard Juancheng, while he immediately led a battalion of soldiers and horses to Liangshanbo to catch the thieves off guard.

Before setting off, he was ready to try Xu Shu again.

If a person lies, there will definitely be some deviations between the two words spoken. In order to put Xu Shu off guard, he deliberately broke in suddenly in the middle of the night to see if Xu Shu would panic, and then asked him to repeat what he said during the day.

Cheng Yu could not be said to be careless, but he never expected that Xu Shu did not lie at all.Except for falsely accusing Mr. Ai of being a Yellow Turban thief, everything else was told truthfully. Even the details of Mr. Ai being a Yellow Turban thief were figured out by Cheng Yu himself. Xu Shu didn’t say anything. Cheng Yu had preconceived ideas, so how could he ask? There can't be a problem either.

When Wen Ji heard that there was no problem, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a wry smile:

"Mr. Cheng Fu, you scared me so much. At midnight, I..."

"Stop talking about it." Cheng Yu waved his hand and skipped the topic, "I will personally lead the army to break out of the camp at night and go straight to Liangshanbo!"

"Ah?" Wen Ji was startled, "At this moment?"

You must know that most people in this era suffer from severe night blindness due to nutritional deficiencies. In an era without industrial light, the endless fear brought about by the long nights can easily cause trouble. Coupled with Cao Jun's morale...

Well, what kind of morale do you expect from an army that is forced to be a perverted murderer every day by a perverted murderer? You are just joking. If you can see if these soldiers at the city gate can run away, it will be over.

Cheng Yu has been fighting for many years, and certainly not a pawn like Wen Ji can understand. He waved his hand:
"Soldiers are very fast. They leave the city silently in the middle of the night. The advance is slower, and the head and tail of the brigade are guarded separately, and they go straight to Liangshan.

I have sent someone to inform Duke Cao that this matter will be handled quietly. "

What Cheng Yu fears most is that behind these Liangshan bandits are the five Taishan bandits.

These five thieves were headed by Zang Ba, the cavalry captain appointed by Tao Qian. They were stationed in Kaiyang. They had already taken in Cao Cao's rebel generals Xu Xi and Mao Hui. They clearly did not take Cao Cao seriously, but Cao Cao's army has become like this now. , and dare not provoke them.

Cheng Yu was worried that they had seen the weakness of Cao's army and wanted to take advantage of this winter to cause chaos. Although sending troops late at night was dangerous, it always allowed them to get the news and be on alert in advance.

As for deserters...

Haha, do you think Cao Jun’s soldiers are willing to come?It's not because Cheng Yu looted all the food in these ten miles and eight villages. I sent out troops with the baggage. If you have the ability, you can run away. You will either starve to death or die under Cao Jun's military law. This is a problem for most soldiers. They can all be carried clearly.

Xu Shu cautiously breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that most of his plan had been successful, and now there was only one last step left.

"Mr. Cheng Fu, I have a heartfelt request."

"Oh, Yuan Zhi, but it doesn't matter!"

Xu Shu said with shame:

"I know Mr. Chengfu still has doubts about me. I am willing to be a hostage in the city. Mr. Cheng can put me in prison and lead the refugees to find a way to kill the thieves.

If it succeeds, release me. If it fails, ask military law to engage in it. "

Cheng Yu originally wanted to do this, but when Xu Shu said it directly, he suddenly felt that he was really a bit of a villain.

After that, the thieves were successfully exterminated. Wen Ji said in confusion in front of Duke Cao that Duke Cao would definitely reuse Xu Shu. When the time came, Xu Shu would mention this matter again and again, making me look like a clown.

He grinned and said in a deep voice:
"Is Yuan Zhi dissatisfied with the difficulty of the journey and unwilling to contribute to Duke Cao?

No!How about taking Yuan Zhi as the vanguard? "

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment:

"Why don't you let me lead the horse beside Cheng Gong, and let the refugees go first to search for the thief? When the thief is found, I am willing to fight first and never retreat."

This……

Although Cheng Yu kills people like dogs, he can't help but feel moved at this moment.

Look at people!
you see!
What is a child?

This is a naive person!
In order to avoid suspicion, he separated from the people he knew first, and then he was the first to kill the thief when he discovered it. If Cheng Yu objected again, it would be difficult to get along with him in Cao Gong's tent from now on.

Cheng Yu patted Xu Shu's shoulder and said with appreciation:
“The previous neglect of Yuan Zhi was all Cheng’s fault.

Yuan Zhi... Hey, Yuan Zhi is tired from running around. Choose a car to take Yuan Zhi to rest, don't neglect it! "
