As soon as Pei Yuanshao finished speaking, the two hundred Yellow Turban soldiers pulled out all kinds of weapons and surrounded Dong Song and the others.
Facing the sharp spear tip and the cold blade, Dong Song was fearless.
"What do you mean?"
Pei Yuan Shao sneered at Dong Song and said,"General Di Gong and Bo Cai have already been killed. Although there are still 30,000 soldiers in Lower Qu Yang, they are leaderless and have low morale. If the officials and bandits attacked, Qu Yang would definitely not be able to defend. Once Lower Melody falls, I'm worried that you officials and bandits will go crazy and start a massacre of the soldiers in Lower Melody. So just in case, I have to keep you as a hostage.”
Hearing Pei Yuan Shao's words, Dong Song couldn't help but lightly shake his head.
"If the government army really decides to massacre the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City, do you think that by keeping me as a hostage, you can force the government army to submit?”
Dong Song smiled and took a few steps towards Pei Yuan Shao.
"In war, you and I are both chess pieces. Since we are chess pieces, we should be prepared to be abandoned at any time.”
"You previously said that you are the son of the Hedong prefect and a former military lieutenant among the government bandits. I don't believe that with your status, the government bandits wouldn't be afraid of taking action.”
"Hahaha, you believe what I said before? If I really had such an illustrious identity, why would I take the risk to enter Lower Melody?”
"You're lying to me, I…"
However, before Pei Yuan Shao could finish speaking, Dong Song suddenly exploded.
Before Pei Yuan Shao and the Yellow Turban soldiers could react, Dong Song had already rushed in front of Pei Yuan Shao.
The long sword was unsheathed and placed directly across Pei Yuan Shao's neck.
Seeing that Pei Yuan Shao was being controlled by Dong Song, Zhou Cang was about to pull out his saber when Dong Song swung his Zhanmadao and the sharp Zhanmadao was once again placed across Zhou Cang's neck.
"What do you want?"
Pei Yuan Shao swallowed his saliva and asked Dong Song softly.
"You planned to use me as a hostage. Now, it's just a role swap.”
"Even if you control the two of us, you can forget about leaving Qu Yang alive.”
"Why should I go out?"
Dong Song sneered," It won't be long before the government troops take down Qu Yang. With the two of you in my hands, I think I should be able to live until Qu Yang is taken down.”
"Now tell your soldiers to put down their weapons, or I will cut off one of your arms.”
Pei Yuan Shao and Zhou Cang looked at each other and finally chose to compromise.
"According to what he said, everyone put down your weapons first.”
The Yellow Turban soldiers put down their weapons.
"My name is Pei Yuan Shao, and his name is Zhou Cang. I now believe that it was you who killed General Heaven Duke and General Bo Cai.”
"Pei Yuan Shao? Zhou Cang?"
Dong Song muttered in a low voice. These two people had appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although there wasn't much writing, Zhou Cang had left a deep impression on Dong Song.
Zhou Cang was originally a Yellow Turban general. Later, he followed Guan Yu and was extremely loyal to him. After Guan Yu was defeated and killed, Zhou Cang chose to commit suicide.
Zhou Cang was a good man.
Pei Yuan Shao was a mountain bandit in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Because he had taken a fancy to Zhao Yun's precious horse, he wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yun and was killed by Zhao Yun with a single spear.
Dong Song didn't expect that these two people had actually served under Zhang Bao and were still guarding Qu Yang.
"The two of us failed to recognize Mount Tai before. Please let us go, general.”
"If I let you go, will you go back on your word and continue to want to take me as a hostage?”
"The two of us only want to protect the 30,000 brothers in Qu Yang. As long as the general guarantees that the government troops will not slaughter us once Qu Yang is conquered, the two of us will definitely treat the general as an honored guest.”
Hearing Zhou Cang's words, Dong Song nodded slightly and put away his sword and Zhanmadao.
"You two can rest assured. Right now, there are 10,000 surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in my team. As long as you surrender sincerely, I can guarantee that you will be able to become paid soldiers.”
"General, are you serious?"
"I have no reason to lie to you, but don't be happy too early. There were 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Lower Quyang, many of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. Therefore, I will only select 10,000 people from the 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to serve me.”
Dong Song's words caused Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao's hearts to sink.”
"I've already thought about it. I'll send the remaining 20,000 people to Liangzhou. Liangzhou has a small population and is often harassed by the Qiang people. I sent these 20,000 people to Liangzhou so that they can reclaim the land and resist the possible attack of the Qiang people.”
"I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that the surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who enter Liangzhou will be able to eat their fill from now on.”
In this chaotic world, nothing was more desirable than eating a full meal.
Thus, when Dong Song finished speaking, Pei Yuan Shao and Zhou Cang hurriedly knelt on one knee.
"The two of us represent the 30,000 brothers in Melody Sun to thank General.”
"In a chaotic world, population is the most important thing, so you don't have to thank me. I'm doing this for my own good.”
