Bet 2/3 ()
"Marquis Qingshan's words are indeed reasonable.”
"However, rebellion is rebellion. Once you do something rebellious, you have to be prepared to face the consequences of such a treasonous act.”
Huangfu Song was the first to speak up in the face of Liu Xuan's analysis. He treated the Yellow Turban Army differently from Liu Xuan.
Huangfu Song had always used violence against violence.
In the face of the riot, he adopted the most cruel and iron-blooded method. Almost none of the Yellow Turban soldiers who fell into his hands survived. Most of them were beheaded.
At this moment, Lu Zhi spoke. He had clearly been dissatisfied with Huangfu Song's actions for a long time.
"General Huangfu, although I don't want to comment on your past actions, although your army is afraid of the Yellow Turban soldiers by simply using violence to deal with violence, don't forget that the number of soldiers you have lost in the past few months is more than the number of soldiers we have combined.”
The Yellow Turban Army had become so slippery and deceitful. On the one hand, the Yellow Turban Army had learned to be smart with the passage of time. On the other hand, they had also been forced into this state.
Huangfu Song had contributed greatly to this process.
Zhu Rong, who was sitting beside Huangfu Song, remained silent after hearing Lu Zhi's words.
Silence was the only reaction he could make.
Although Zhu Rong agreed with Lu Zhi's words from the bottom of his heart, his official position was the lowest among everyone.
Sometimes, he even had to listen to Huangfu Song's orders. Therefore, not speaking at this time was his only choice. This was also a kind of tragedy for the Humble Class.
Watching Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's argument, Cao Cao did not join in.
For some reason, Cao Cao had a strange feeling as he looked at the calm Liu Xuan beside him. This brother of his seemed to be on the weaker side, but he felt like he was plotting something.
But in the end, Cao Cao saw the awkward atmosphere and asked,""Since Brother Qingshan said so, I presume you have a solution!”
"Why don't you tell me? Perhaps there's a way to get the best of both worlds.”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi remembered that the person involved had yet to speak.
Liu Xuan looked at Cao Cao and nodded with a smile. He cupped his hands and said to Lu Zhi,""Mr. Zigan, I actually support General Huangfu's point of view.”
"A crime is a crime. As long as it is committed, whether it is forced or voluntary, it cannot be avoided.”
Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi immediately stopped arguing. Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud, indicating that great minds think alike. It wasn't too late for Liu Xuan to wake up now.
Lu Zhi's expression darkened, but he did not speak immediately. He felt that Liu Xuan had more to say, but his gentle gaze toward Liu Xuan now had a hint of scrutiny.
Liu Xuan didn't mind.
Looking at Huangfu Song, who was laughing happily, he suddenly changed the topic and continued,"However, although I agree with General Huangfu's attitude, I can only use one word to describe General Huangfu's actions.”
"Marquis Qingshan, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just sighing. General Huangfu, you didn't use such a great labor force, but killed him directly.”
"Labor? Are you talking about the Yellow Turban Army? What is the use of those rebels?"
"It's very useful. You can be banished into the army, turned into refugees, sent to various places to work, and so on.”
"Banished? Become a refugee? He was originally a traitor. How dare you use such a sinner?”
"General Huangfu wouldn't dare, but I would!"
"Hmph, so you're saying that I'm inferior to you?”
When Huangfu Song heard Liu Xuan's words, his face instantly turned cold. He even revealed a mocking smile.
As a general, hadn't he tried to turn the Yellow Turban rebellion into a military force and drive them away?
However, the result told Huangfu Song that what he thought was one situation, and what he did was another!
The Yellow Turban soldiers were originally refugees. They had no one to rely on, and their relatives were cut off. Everything was for the sake of having something to eat. They had to endure one day at a time.
Huangfu Song had once tried to drive the Yellow Turban captives to the front and use them as human shields against the Yellow Turban army.
But in the end, the captured Yellow Turban soldiers once again shouted,'The sky is dead, the yellow sky shall rise.' They turned around and joined the Yellow Turban army again to fight against him.
In that case, it would not be of much use. Instead, it would be suspected of aiding the enemy.
From then on, Huangfu Song also treated the captured Yellow Turban bandits as useless things. Every time he captured them, he would kill them all and make their heads into 'Jingguan' to intimidate the thieves.
Therefore, when Liu Xuan proposed to use the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfu Song could not help but find it funny. His impression of Liu Xuan, which was originally good, also rapidly declined.
However, Liu Xuan did not back down. He looked at Huangfu Song and said with a faint smile,""General Huangfu, this is the difference between you and me.”
"I believe that the other Generals have the same thoughts as General Huangfu.”
"They all think that the Yellow Turban captives are either a group of stubborn rebels who are a pity to kill and a waste of food to keep!”
"Why don't I make a bet with these Yellow Turban captives here?”
As Liu Xuan spoke, he looked around. The confidence on his face never faded.
After Cao Cao heard this, he revealed a curious expression and immediately asked,""What kind of bet?"
"I need the Yellow Turban captives under the generals. Seven days. I only need seven days to turn them into a force that can face the Yellow Turban alone.”
"Hehe, seven days? General Liu is really confident." When Huangfu Song heard Liu Xuan's words, he couldn't help but sneer. Then, he said,""Alright, I, Huangfu Song, will bet."
"But what if General Liu fails?”
Huangfu Song looked at Liu Xuan with a mocking gaze. He obviously did not believe that Liu Xuan could do it.
The other factions around him also watched this scene silently. They didn't think Liu Xuan would win either.
However, Liu Xuan remained indifferent to this.
Facing Huangfu Song's question, he did not avoid his gaze. He looked at Lu Zhi beside him and the people around him who were waiting for his answer. He solemnly said,
"As the saying goes, a new official has three fires. I'm actually doing this to establish my authority.”
"General Huangfu, if I lose, how about I ask His Majesty to resign?”
"Good, Marquis Qingshan, you have guts."
When Huangfu Song heard Liu Xuan's words, he also laughed heartily, as if the outcome had been decided.
