" Celigu's side has also been stunned by our Hao Zhao and Guan Xing's martial arts. Originally, Celigu's original subordinates also knew how powerful we and the Tai Tiger Battalion were, but they had never fought with us personally. Now, the three generals sent by Celigu are also the best in their tribe. After a few rounds, they were all put here. Who would rush up and die?" Those Cao troops that were mixed in were also killed by us in the ambush a few days ago. Especially with me, the god of death, clamoring, no one dared to step forward.
I saw them cowering and shouted,
"Soldiers in front, listen up. You can't escape. I'll give you a chance now. As long as you can capture your general, even a centurion is worth it. If you live the best, if you die, as long as you can take a part of his body, I will consider it as your meritorious service. I will not pursue the past matters between you. As long as you promise not to be enemies with us, I can let you go. Whoever can capture Cheligu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.”
After hearing my provocative words, many of the soldiers 'eyes immediately became passionate. They all looked at the officials beside them in unison. Some of them directly stared at Celigu, causing some of the officials in Celigu's formation to feel goosebumps. They all gripped their weapons tightly to prevent their subordinates from ambushing them. Seeing this, Che Legu knew that the morale of the army was a little scattered. If he did not control it well, so many of his men would be scattered. He quickly shouted,
"Soldiers, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He's lying to everyone. We've killed so many of his men. Even if you surrender to him, he won't let you off.”
Zhang Bao's loud voice gave him a reply.
"Cheligu, you f * cking fool! You colluded with the Cao army to harm my people, and you still have the face to bark here! When have we brothers ever gone back on our words?”
Cheligu's subordinates began to whisper to each other, and some of them nodded at each other. After all, most of the soldiers did not want to die here.
"I can tell everyone that ever since Celigu rebelled, your tribe has been taken over by our people. If you don't want your wives and children to become slaves, quickly capture your leader, put down your weapons and surrender.”
I poured a spoonful of oil on the fire.
Cheligu's original subordinates were in an uproar. Many of them were already preparing to point their weapons at their commander.
"Even Xiahou Yuan's 30,000 men can't defeat us, so how can you? We will lay down our weapons and spare the captives if they surrender, or we will kill them without mercy.”
Looking at the expressions of the Cao soldiers, the Cao soldiers mixed in with the ancient soldiers were also tempted. We really didn't kill any prisoners in the past. It seems like it's working.
After hearing what we said and seeing the soldiers around him, Che Ligu knew that the situation was hopeless. He sighed and said,
"Sigh, how pitiful. I, Cheligu, have fallen to such a state for the sake of the entire tribe. Fine, fine, fine…"
Cheligu suddenly raised his head and said to me in a loud voice,
"If my subordinates surrender to you, can you not treat them as slaves?”
"As long as they promise not to harm the people and become enemies with us, I can agree.”
"Then I can rest assured."
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly saw Cheligu pull the reins and charge out of the formation with his horse. He raised the big knife in his hand and charged at me. I quickly urged my horse and raised my halberd to meet it. The tip of the spear pointed forward and stabbed into Cheligu's chest. My hand felt sluggish and I knew that I had stabbed him. Cheligu's blood spurted out from the blood groove at the back of the spear tip, soaking the red tassel of my halberd. However, a relaxed smile appeared on Che Ligu's face after he had been relieved of his burden. I suddenly understood that he was deliberately seeking death. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to even take a single move from me. Seeing that I had stabbed Celigu, the hundred or so soldiers behind Celigu let out a long cry and rushed over, raising their sabers to fight me to the death. Che Ligu held onto my halberd with one hand and waved his other hand to stop his personal guards from fighting me.
"No, this is just me courting death.”
When his personal guards heard this, they jumped off their horses and knelt in front of Cheligu, crying,"
"Your Majesty, why do you have to short-circuit yourself!”
Cheligu coughed up blood as he said,"
"I…can't bring…happiness to the tribe…I'm sorry…to the entire…tribe.……Surrender to…the little general. Follow him…the tribe will have a better…future.”
The soldiers of Celigu were crying even harder.
"Your Majesty…"
I really didn't expect this to happen. Che Ligu actually colluded with the Cao army for his tribe. I couldn't understand it anymore. My halberd was still stuck in Che Ligu's chest. Hearing what Che Ligu said, I didn't know whether to pull it out or not.
"All of you…in the future…follow the little general well…be loyal to the little general…you must not…avenge me…against the little general.”
The bodyguards kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Yes."
Cheligu stared at me again and said,
"I hope that little general…will treat my…subordinates well. Otherwise…even if I become a ghost…I won't let…you…go. Little General…you have to be careful…of that Meng fellow.”
My mind went blank and I nodded subconsciously. Cheligu smiled at me again. He held my halberd and used all his strength to pull it in. Then, he twisted it and minced his internal organs. Cheligu screamed as blood spurted out from his mouth. He lay on the tip of my halberd and died.
When the bodyguards saw that Cheligu was dead, they all fell to the ground and cried.
We were all dumbfounded. We had never seen such a thing before. Hao Zhao and Jiang Wei were older and woke up faster. Hao Zhao shouted to the soldiers opposite him,"
"Your king has ordered you to surrender. Why don't you put down your weapons quickly?”
Jiang Wei also rode closer to me.
"Third brother, don't stay there. Cheligu is already dead. Put him down."
Only then did I react. I looked at the kneeling soldiers of Cherrigu and said.
"Why aren't you bringing down your king's corpse?”
The soldiers of Celigu quickly stood up and supported Celigu's corpse, allowing me to pull the halberd out of Celigu's chest. Leaving behind two personal guards to support Cheligu's corpse, the rest of the people knelt down again.
"Greetings, little general. We are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives.”
I quickly waved my hand and replied.
"Get up, get up. You guys get up and talk first."
None of them stood up. They shouted together,
"If the general doesn't agree, we would rather kneel here and die.”
I had no choice. Jiang Wei, who was beside me, also signaled me to agree with his eyes. I could only say,
"I can promise you, but you must not harm the people in the future.”
"Yes, as long as the general orders, even if we have to go through fire and water, we won't refuse. If we violate this oath, let us die without a burial place.”
I knew that this was the biggest vow of us soldiers and martial artists.
"Get up and follow me from now on. Hu Ju, from now on, you will be the leader of this group of people. You will be in charge of leading them.”
After that group of people got up, they bowed to Hu Ju.
"Greetings, Commander."
Hu Ju knew many of them. After all, he had dealt with them many times. It was just that they had looked down on him when they were under Che Ligu. Hu Ju became awe-inspiring this time, smashing the big stick in his hand into the ground.
"Alright, from now on, we're a family. Everyone must be loyal to Young Master, or else don't blame my staff for not recognizing you.”
"We will follow your orders."
At this moment, the people on the opposite side saw that Celigu was also dead. His personal guards had also surrendered. They also threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Those officials also heaved a sigh of relief. At least they were not killed by their subordinates.
Wang Ping led his men to tie up those who surrendered and strung them together. However, I still didn't see Xiahou Yuan and the others among the captives. Zhang Bao brought Guan Xing to check if his grandfather was among the corpses. Hao Zhao came over to tell me that in this battle, Che Ligu and the Cao soldiers died and were injured. In addition to the 4000 people who surrendered, there are still 4000 people whose whereabouts are unknown. I waved my hand and called over the original leader of Cheligu's personal guards. He asked them what was going on. The guard wasn't too sure either. He only told me that when they came out, there were more than 8000 people. However, on the way, a middle-aged scholar with the surname Meng said something to Cheligu and then selected a group of people to ride on a horse and leave. Even the guard didn't know where they went. Cheligu's team was behind us, and we caught up to them.
Meng? Just now, Che Legu also called me to be careful of the Meng. In the ambush two days ago, there was also a man surnamed Meng who helped Xiahou Yuan command. Who could he be? Where did they go? I'm racking my brains.
I was pounding my little head trying to recall this person and his whereabouts when Hu Ju suddenly came to report.
"Little General, the scouts have reported that there is news of Yang Fu.”
"Is there any news about Yang Fu? Quickly bring that person over."
Soon, a scout came over with another person. The scout knelt on one knee in front of me.
"Reporting to General, when I was inquiring about the news, I met the messenger sent by General Yang to find us. I brought him here and asked General to inquire about the situation.”
"Alright, you can rest for now. I'll ask him.”
When the messenger sent by Yang Fu arrived in front of me, he also knelt on one knee.
"Greetings general, this is Yang Sima's token. Please take a look.”
I took it and looked at it. It was indeed Yang Fu's token. There was a mark on it that we had agreed on before we left. I nodded and asked the messenger about the situation. The messenger told me that Yang Fu and his cousin were lying in ambush ahead and captured Xiahou Yuan. They are now detained in Li City. They have few people and can't send anyone to escort him back.
"Did you catch a guy named Meng?”
The messenger was stunned and nodded.
"I caught it."
"Do you know who this person is?"
"I'm not too sure, but I heard that he was originally from Jing State and was very knowledgeable. This time, I'm going to Liangzhou to take up a post."
My heart skipped a beat. He's from Jingzhou and his surname is Meng. He's working in Liangzhou. So it's him! Then I have to be careful.
