Chapter 138
.If you don’t kill, you won’t kill, but the prisoners cannot fully trust them, otherwise you will only suffer.
First, the surrendered troops were taken care of in batches, and then ordered the three armies to take a break. When the soldiers recovered their strength, the sky was already bright.
Gu Beicheng was originally from Shu. Later, because the Hu people invaded the border, he turned to Yao Qin when he saw that the Hu people were in great power. Now he was caught by the Jin army. Where can he still have the heart to sleep? He didn't know what to do with him. He was uneasy all night, and the noise made him frightened. Maybe someone would pick up his sword and take his life.
But unexpectedly, no one paid attention to him until it was dawn. At this time, sleepiness came, and he couldn't hold on. He thought that anyway, he couldn't run away, and he might not be able to escape and die. It would be better to have a good sleep, even if he was a ghost, he would be a little energetic on the way to the underworld.
Just as he closed his eyes hazyly, someone kicked the door of the room where he was imprisoned. A big man held the rope on his body and pulled him out of the room without saying a word.
The person who pulled him was Santong, and Santong was extremely powerful. It was easy to mention him like him. He came to the wide area in the city. There were soldiers in front of him. Santong first threw Gu Beicheng into the open space, then stepped on his chest and shouted loudly: "Brothers, he is the guardian of Yinping. He first surrendered to the Hu people and helped the Hu people kill me, Han people. You think, should such a bastard who forgot his ancestors and backed his sects be killed?"
"It's time to kill!"
"It's time to kill!"
Many soldiers shouted in unison.
"Okay!" Santong stopped the noise, lowered her head and pointed at Gu Beicheng and shouted: "You are a shame for me, Han people. Once you avenge the people you killed, we Han people eliminate you, as a scum, and today I will kill you as a bastard."
After saying that, Santong had already pulled out her waist knife, raised her head high, and was about to chop it down.
Gu Beicheng thought he was mentally prepared to be killed, but at this time, he was still frightened and his eyes were closed.
People often feel fear of unknown things. People are afraid of death because no one knows what death feels like.
Death is a feeling? Those who know will not tell others, because those who know are dead.
The long sword suddenly slashed down, and Gu Beicheng had even felt the sword wind coming. Just when Gu Beicheng thought he would die, a voice suddenly sounded: "General, please calm down for the time being."
After closing his eyes for a long time, he didn't feel the pain. Gu Beicheng opened his eyes again - the long sword was just an inch from his neck, scaring him to his cold sweat.
The person holding Santong's hand holding the knife is a monk.
Needless to say, this monk is Daoxuan: "General, I am merciful. Besides, according to my opinion, this person is not unforgivable. It is better to let him go."
"Nonsense," Santong said angrily: "Isn't it a shame to surrender to the enemy and sell the country?"
Seeing someone talking for him, Gu Beicheng seemed to see the vitality again, and hurriedly shouted in a crying voice: "General, please spare me, please spare me! I, Gu Beicheng, just surrendered to the enemy, but I have never treasoned the country, and I have never killed a commoner among the Han people. General, and General, and General!"
Santong obviously didn't believe it: "Are you messing with a three-year-old child? You can still become a high-ranking official if you surrender to the enemy. How could you not betray the country? I will never forgive you today."
After saying that, he raised his long sword and tried to cut it.
Daoxuan was about to stop him again, and Santong said angrily: "You are a monk, how can you understand military affairs? If you don't get out of here, I will chop you up."
Daoxuan quickly laughed: "God of anger, if the general says, this person should indeed be killed."
Hearing the only person who spoke for him said that he should be killed, Gu Beicheng felt ashamed, but Daoxuan said again: "But this person is a guardian of Yinping and was captured alive by General Qin. He always had to let the governor see him and then kill him again, so as not to be able to get the credit for General Qin."
"That's right," Santong Taotao then put away the knife: "I'm so reckless that I almost ruined Brother Qin's credit."
Daoxuan said, "It's better to take him to see the governor first and then do it."
Santong nodded, and sent a team of soldiers to escort Gu Beicheng with Daoxuan and came to the prefect's mansion to meet Zhang Chi.
Daoxuan sighed along the way, "Hey, it's a pity that such a living person died like this."
Who is not afraid of death? Even if he is not afraid of death, if someone is chanting these words by his side, he will feel that he is not alive enough. Now Gu Beicheng sees Dao as if he is merciful, of course he has to grab this life-saving straw and begs: "This master, I am really a good person. I have vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. Although I surrendered to the Hu people, there is no way to surrender. I have never killed half of the Han people. Please save my life."
"Oh," Daoxuan sighed: "I'm willing to let you out of the city and save you your life."
Gu Beicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but Daoxuan followed and said, "But this is not OK. What should I do if I let you go? Besides, even if you let you out of the city, you will still be unable to escape death."
"Why?" Gu Beicheng was puzzled.
"You think, Yin Ping was captured and we captured you again, but you were able to escape safely. Do you think the Hu people believe it?"
A word made Gu Beicheng speechless.
This is indeed the truth. Now even if he escapes from the city, there is no way out. If he goes to Yao Qin again, how can he believe it? He can escape back if he is caught. How can he do such a coincidence in the world? Even if he is not a counter-espionage plan, Hu people will think so. It is really that there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Daoxuan patted Gu Beicheng on the shoulder: "There is only one way now, which is to ask our Grand Governor not to kill you, but to keep it for your own use."
Gu Beicheng nodded, thought for a while and asked again: "Is our Grand Governor's heart good?"
Daoxuan shook his head decisively: "It's very bad."
"Ah!" Gu Beicheng suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured down from his head: "Then why should I beg him?"
"Think about it, are there any bargaining chips that can make the governor feel that you are useful, so he will naturally not kill you." Daoxuan induces him to induce him.
With Daoxuan's induction, Gu Beicheng really got his clues: "Now there is a military general in Hanzhong County who is good friends with me, and maybe it will be of some use."
"Well, yes, this one is good, this one is good."
As he said that, he had already arrived at the prefect's mansion. Daoxuan took Gu Beicheng into the hall, and Zhang Chi was casually tasting tea. As soon as he reported, Zhang Chi waved impatiently: "What else can you do to such a traitor? Remember General Qin's merit and drag the traitor out and behead him!"
He was frightened by this statement. He had just experienced one thing and almost died. Now he was still scared. He knelt down on the ground and begged, "Governor, please spare me, the Governor, although the villain has defected to the Hu people, he is indeed in Cao's camp and is in the Han Dynasty. Please give me a chance. The villain is willing to hold a horse and hold a whip for the governor and serve his life under the tent."
"Huh?" Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "I have more than 100,000 soldiers. If you want to find someone to hold a horse and hold a whip, wouldn't you choose casually? I need you to hold a horse and hold a whip for me?"
Gu Beicheng didn't know what to say, and he was so nervous that he sweated like a sludge.
"He just said that he was in Cao's camp and his heart was in Han, and I don't know if it was true." Zhang Chi asked Xuan.
"I have checked it, this person has indeed done nothing evil in Yinping."
Seeing that things might have had a turnaround, Gu Beicheng hurriedly said, "Report to the Governor, the villain is indeed in Cao's camp and in the hearts of Han, and the villain has also been in good faith with the generals of some prefectures and counties. Maybe it will be helpful to the Governor's Northern Expedition."
"Oh?" Zhang Chi became interested: "Let me tell me in detail."
Now at the critical moment, Gu Beicheng dared not hide anything anymore. He explained the situation of various prefectures and counties in the Bashan area to Zhang Chi clearly, including the distribution of troops, general details, and strategic deployment of each prefecture. Finally, he said: "A general in Hanzhong County is called Ma Jingrong. He has always been intimate with me. I am sure to persuade him to surrender. In this way, we will have an extra supporter."
"Okay!" Zhang Chi suddenly slapped the table, which scared Gu Beicheng.
Gu Beicheng said so much, but in fact, this sentence is the most useful. The goal that Zhang Chi wants to achieve is to recover Hanzhong, but Hanzhong is bound to the throats of Shaanxi, Sichuan and Gansu. It is impossible for him to be unprepared. With Zhang Chi's more than 30,000 troops, he can't even think about siege. He can only take a different approach.
"I ask you, are you sincerely surrendering?" Zhang Chi asked.
Gu Beicheng nodded quickly and said, "Sincerely surrender, sincerely surrender."
"Okay, then I won't kill you. Come and loosen your ties for General Gu."
Gu Beicheng escaped from death this time and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Chi walked to his side, patted his shoulder and said, "Since you can have an inner support in Hanzhong, we will attack Hanzhong now."
This sentence shocked Gu Beicheng because Hanzhong did not want to be flat, because the geographical location was important, and there were many guards: "Governor, how many people do you plan to use to attack Hanzhong?"
Zhang Chi stretched out eight fingers, and Gu Beicheng thought it was 80,000, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chi followed and said, "Eight thousand."
"Eight thousand?" Gu Beicheng thought he had heard it wrong.
"General Gu, don't worry, you should first contact General Ma Jingrong, Hanzhong County you mentioned just now."
Gu Beicheng was anxious to survive just now, so he showed all his trump cards, but now Zhang Chi let him contact him, but now he was in trouble: "It's just that Hanzhong must be careful. I have surrendered to the governor, and the governor will not let me go to Hanzhong to counterattack."
"General Gu, don't worry, you can contact us with letters. I can send the letters to Hanzhong freely." Let you go back? I'm afraid that you won't come back if you let you go, Zhang Chi said.
…
…
It was not until everything was arranged and a soldier sent Gu Beicheng out that Santong leaned in and walked to Daoxuan and hit his shoulder, grinned: "How is it? I pretended to be quite like it."
"I really didn't expect that you can't do martial arts or lead troops. The scene just now was really good." Daoxuan also laughed, then patted his chest and said, "But the best one is me. Look, I will definitely be the one who scares him. I will definitely do my best."
After Daoxuan finished speaking, he laughed together with Zhang Chi and Santong.
Organize and clean cloth.
