Even if Jing Wei thought that this world had nothing to do with him, even if he thought that the life and death of the people here had nothing to do with him. If he had two lives, he was actually very willing to die once to see if he could return to his previous world. However, it seemed that no one understood at the moment. He couldn't just die for nothing, right?
Although it did not have much to do with him, they were still lives that looked no different from him. He still had compassion. Judging from the current situation, he only needed to set up an ambush in the city, not spread the news of Sun Zhong's death to the Yellow Turban army, and put on a fake show of turmoil in the city to fool the remaining Yellow Turban members into falling into the trap.
Not long after pacifying the people in the city, Wen Pin came to Jing Wei and said something similar,""My lord, we can use Sun Zhong's plan today to beat him at his own game and earn the remaining members of the Yellow Turbans into our trap. We can ambush them in the city and kill them.”，Jing Wei pondered for a long time before slowly saying,"Zhongye's plan is brilliant. I also know that the food reserves in the city are difficult to maintain. However, my teacher is Confucianism, should love all living beings, what I have done before has violated the teachings of my ancestors. It was better to leave him a way out. When General Zhu's army arrives, let him scatter like a bird and a beast. At that time, life and death are determined by fate.”
Wen Pin was somewhat disappointed that his advice did not work, but he was even more impressed by the benevolence and righteousness displayed by Jing Wei, so he did not advise and silently returned to the city wall to supervise the army. Because Wan City had been previously looted by the Yellow Turban Army, although they had surplus grain to defend against the enemy, it was far from enough to support so many people. Everyone in the city, including Jing Wei himself, had been reduced to two meals a day. Of course, Jing Wei did this purely to win the hearts of the people. However, there was one thing that made him speechless for a long time.
"No, I can't! I only eat two meals a day!" Jing Zhi said in a childish tone. This made Jing Wei very puzzled. Not to mention that he had already suffered so much in this chaotic era, even in the past, Jing Zhi had always been very obedient and rarely lost his temper like the other post-2000s. At most, he was picky with his food and had never argued about not eating.
"Why?" Jing Wei asked softly. You have to eat obediently to grow up!”，"No! I want them to know that I'm also a person who sets an example! I also want to buy people's hearts!" Jing Zhi's childish tone was so thick and dark that it made Jing Zhi jump in fright. He didn't know if his intentions were too obvious for a seven or eight-year-old child to see through, or if Jing Zhi's growth had already deviated from the track.
Helplessly, he could only agree to Jing Zhi's request. However, he also calculated that he might really have to find a great scholar to be his brother's teacher, so that he would have a proper identity in the future. Jing Wei wanted to lecture Jing Zhi, but after being stunned for a long time, he found that he had nothing to say. Was he wrong? His younger brother was just more intelligent!
He planned to let the Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city live so that they wouldn't surround the city and cause panic. Jing Wei specially ordered people to send Sun Zhong's head to the remaining Yellow Turban party, so that their fire of hope would be extinguished as soon as possible.
However, what made Jing Wei feel strange was that even if the Yellow Turban soldiers were all poor people with no ability, no matter how stupid Liu Pi and the others were, they should have understood that there was no hope and made plans early. If they did not leave now, they would only be wiped out. However, these 100,000 people did not leave. They did not beg for surrender or attack the city. They quietly camped in the jungle a few miles away from the city. The left side was denser. On the right side, there was a relatively wide canyon that could allow more than ten horses to pass side by side. The canyon could lead straight to the back of the jungle. The location chosen was very suitable for the Yellow Turban thief's identity and was full of flaws.
He wanted to let them live, but he was stubborn. Therefore, Jing Wei could only order Pang De and Shi Wanbao to lead the army to break them. If he didn't scatter, he would scatter! It would also be good for Pang De and Shi Wanbao to gain more battle merits.
"Report! There was a man outside the tent who claimed to be an envoy from the Yellow Turban Army and had something to report.”A messenger reported to Zhu Rong in the same standard tone as in the TV series. Zhu Yi sat on the chair and said without thinking,"If the Yellow Turbans want to surrender, there's no need to meet. The powerful wanted to break through the city and rob the goods, but now they would probably wag their tails and beg for mercy, making a pitiful appearance of being forced by the court.”，"General, this person said that he did not come to beg for surrender but had something important to tell you.”，Zhu Rong snorted coldly and said,""Hmph, little moth thief, you're just putting on an act. Forget it, let him come in and see what could happen.”
"Greetings, General Zhu." The person was dressed in white and looked like a scholarly family. He did not look like a Yellow Turban thief at all. Zhu Rong was also a little surprised to see the newcomer, but since he was here as a Yellow Turban thief, he couldn't be polite.
Since the other party did not introduce himself, even if he was puzzled, he should not ask. Then, he put on the air of a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years and shouted,"You bandits are still alive. Do you know your sins?”Zhu Rong didn't care what the other party's intentions were, he just wanted to show his strength first. However, the other party looked gentle, but he was not afraid at all. He still had an indifferent expression on his face as he replied slowly,"It is indeed a crime, but now that the eunuchs are in power, Your Majesty did not notice for a moment, resulting in chaos in the world. People in the world are often helpless, but also often deceived by crafty sycophants. I have a letter from the current prefect of Nanyang to the rebel Han Zhong. Please read it.”
These words made Zhu Rong even more suspicious. His words were extraordinary and just right. He said that the Emperor had made a mistake and could express his views without being too extreme. But you can still use the world to talk about things. No matter what, this kind of person should be a descendant of an aristocratic family. Why would he join the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
While thinking, Zhu Xi received the letter that Jing Wei had written to Han Zhong. After reading it, Zhu Xi couldn't help but fly into a rage. However, he immediately calmed down. After all, he had been fighting for many years. It was too laughable for his mind to be so chaotic.
Although the words in the letter were vague, anyone who wasn't stupid could understand Jing Wei's intentions. The Yellow Turban thief might not be able to think of a plan to sow discord, and it would even be difficult to find the person who could write this letter, but this person in front of him did not seem to have any difficulty doing these things. After some consideration, Zhu Rong shouted,""Do you think I can't tell that you're trying to sow discord between us?”
The newcomer pretended to panic when he heard this." To tell you the truth, General, I'm not a Yellow Turban bandit. I said that the Yellow Turban bandits just couldn't bear to see so many people being slaughtered and wanted to get everyone off the hook. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate whether there are more than 1,000 good horses in the Wancheng army for no reason. You can also write a letter to earn a reply from the current Nanyang prefect to see if the handwriting matches.”
Seeing this, Zhu Rong couldn't help but trust him a little more, so he ordered people to check the city. Whether or not there are many good horses for no reason, he also wrote a letter, the general content is: "I will lead my troops to the rear of the enemy and use them as bait to lure the Yellow Turban bandits to chase after us. You will lead your troops to cross the canyon and burn the enemy camp before attacking from both sides. If it's possible, return quickly."
It didn't take long for Zhu to receive a reply. It was true, and the spy's report was the same as what he had said, so he didn't doubt it. He corrected his attitude and said,"Thank you for your reminder, Mister. I'm afraid I'll be deceived by such a villain." May I know your identity?" "A mountain villager, his name is not worth mentioning. General, please don't ask any more questions. I only hope that you will spare the lives of the Yellow Turbans.”The person who came was still as calm as water, without any ripples. Zhu Rong couldn't help but look up at this person even more.
He wore a bucket like headscarf with eyebrows and beams, a black linen shirt with a border, a tea-brown belt around his waist, silk shoes and clean socks below. He was handsome and had a long white beard. Zhu Rong thought for a long time before he said,"That's enough. Sir, you can advise the Yellow Turban bandits to temporarily withdraw their troops and join our troops. We'll make plans after we capture Liu Han."”
"Thank you for your benevolence, General!" the scholar said delightedly. The commoner went to the Yellow Turban camp to persuade them.”After saying that, he silently retreated.
At night, Wang Jingwei sat in his study and looked into the distance. He thought deeply that tens of thousands of people would be beheaded again. He did not know when he could go back. "Report! Someone outside the city said that he has something important to tell you." The messenger's voice broke the silence of the night and interrupted Jing Wei's thoughts. "It must be the Yellow Turban bandits who want to surrender, but it's too late. Forget it, let him in!" Not long after, a tall, sallow, and emaciated man with three strands of long beard stepped in. Jing Wei was shocked when he saw the person who had come."What the f * ck? Isn't Zhang Jiao dead?" Although Jing Wei had never seen Zhang Jiao before, he didn't know why he thought that Zhang Jiao should look like this.
The man slowly walked forward and bowed." Greetings, Lord Prefect. I have something important to report."”Jing Wei only recovered from his shock after hearing this. Obviously, he was not as experienced as Zhu Rong. He hurriedly put on an official stance and said solemnly," Are you a member of the Yellow Turban remnants?" "That's true, but now the Yellow Turban bandits are just candles in the wind. Now that the matter has been leaked to you, I hope you can rely on it in the future.”The person replied.
Jing Wei was afraid that it was not about surrendering, so he asked,""What do you have to report?" "Milord, I saw the Yellow Turbans find a letter from Milord to Han Zhong in the camp, and a literate person informed Zhu Rong. He wanted to exchange for a way out, but Zhu Rong still wanted to kill him after receiving the letter. Now that he had no other way out, he shamelessly told Daren.”Jing Wei's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He repeated it several times and found that there was no problem. Then, he remembered his previous reply. He had no choice but to believe it.
But what should he do next? Join forces with the Yellow Turban Army to resist Zhu Rong and the entire imperial court?
