Chapter 40: The Hanzhong Strategy (1)
"grown ups!"
Hao Yaoqi did not expect Yang Xiao to issue such an order.
"Kill him, I'll accept you, otherwise you will die!" Yang Xiao then repeated.
"Sir, you promised to let me go." Li Guo couldn't believe his ears and knelt there and shouted loudly.
"Hmph..." Yang Xiao didn't look back, but just snorted coldly.
"Sir..." Hao Yaoqi held the knife tightly, his eyes hesitating.
"I'll say the last time, kill him." Yang Xiao's voice became deeper and colder, just like the ice in the 39th heaven.
"Zuo Liangchen, we are all obedient people. If you dare to kill and surrender, aren't you afraid that the court will punish you?" Li Guo roared, stood up desperately, and rushed towards Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao disdained to answer, but just raised his hand high. With his movements, the soldiers around the square raised their swords and guns and pointed at the bandits kneeling in the field.
"Ah!" Just as Li Guo passed by Hao Yaoqi, Hao Yaoqi shouted wildly and stabbed him with a sharp knife.
A knife stabbed Li Guo in the chest, and a burst of blood spurted out a few steps away. Yang Xiao faced Li Guo, and all the blood was sprayed onto the blue clothes he was wearing. But he seemed to have not felt it, just staring at everything that was happening in front of him calmly.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
Since he stabbed out with a knife, Hao Yaoqi had no choice but to chop Li Guo's body like crazy. Blood splattered everywhere, splashing everywhere.
"Sir, I'm lucky to be unfair."
After chopping like this for more than a dozen times, Hao Yaoqi finally stopped. Looking at Li Guo who was chopped in front of him, he gasped desperately. Then he knelt on the ground, put his waist knife across his hands, and ordered Yang Xiao to tell him.
"Li British, you can watch here. Each of them has to kill two bandits for me. If there is a beheader, he will be killed immediately!" Yang Xiao pointed to the more than a hundred bandits who had just been picked out by Hao Yaoqi on the sidelines and explained to Li British beside him.
"I understand, don't worry, sir." Li British responded.
"Zhengnan, let's go!" Yang Xiao said, then left with his hands behind his back.

Twenty days later, Meixian County Government Office.
"Sir!"
Hao Yaoqi sent Wang Zhengnan out of the county government office with a smile on his face, and even handed over a cloth bag when he handed over.
"I'm not an adult! I'm just a personal soldier. In addition, you just need to do what the adult commands, and you don't need anything else." Wang Zhengnan didn't even look at the cloth bag, and then he left after saying a word.
"If I don't take it down, I can't help but be filial?" After Wang Zhengnan left, Hao Yaoqi put the cloth bag in his arms again and cursed in a low voice.
"The whole team is all for me." Hao Yaoqi rushed back to the county government several steps and shouted loudly.
Hearing Hao Yaoqi's order, his personal guard walked out of the county government gate lazily and blew the horn.
It took half an hour to get the county yard full of bandits. Everyone looked lazy, yawning one by one, and many people were wearing messy clothes and carrying bulging bags. What's more, some people put a pink bellyband on their heads. Needless to think about it, they knew they had snatched it.
"Stand for me." Hao Yaoqi stood on the steps and shouted loudly.
Only when the team heard Hao Yaoqi's voice could barely have a team shape.
"The troops went southeast, fifty miles, Zhaojia Village." Hao Yaoqi said in a simple and inspiring manner, and finished his destination in just a few words, and then waved his hand to let the team lead the team to set off.
"Sir, what are you doing there?" A thief came over and asked with a smile on his face, relying on his familiarity with Hao Yaoqi.
"You just go there. Don't talk so much nonsense. If you say too much, I will slap you." Hao Yaoqi gesturing the whip in his hand with a frightened face.
"Don't ask, don't ask." The bandits knew Hao Yaoqi's virtue and led the team forward without regard.
The team set out slowly like a lazy bug. There were only more than 300 people left in front of the county government.
"Miss Nephew is in Zhaojia Village. This news has been confirmed by Brother Guo. Moreover, Brother Guo also found out that there is an authentic tunnel in Zhaojia Village. I will take you to sneak into Zhaojia Village to save Miss Nephew." Hao Yaoqi looked at the three hundred people in front of him and said. One hundred of them were surrendered by killing their companions in Zhaojia Village, and they were also Hao Yaoqi's confidants.
"I actually discovered the whereabouts of my nephew!"
"Roar in, kill those dog officials, and rescue the nephew."
After hearing Hao Yaoqi's words, the bandits were talking about it. Everyone knew Gao Guiying's identity, and it would be a great achievement to rescue her. Although there were no high-ranking officials in the rebel army to reward, at least they had to reward some gold and silver or a few beautiful ladies.
"Everyone is right!" Hao Yaoqi looked around and waved the steel knife in his hand suddenly: "Run into the Zhaojiazhuang courtyard with me and kill the dog official. At that time, rewards on merit will be indispensable for everyone."
Hearing Hao Yaoqi's shouting, all the bandits were full of blood and shouting, fearing that they would fall behind and lose their credit.
Gao Guiying lived a very simple life. According to Yang Xiao's arrangement, she was locked up in a single room and delivered three meals a day on time. But except for a little free time, she could only stare at the window in the rest of the time. Life that no one paid attention to for more than 20 days was so she would have to hold her crazy. If she hadn't heard the voices in the courtyard occasionally, she would have thought she was isolated from the world.
"This dog official wants to use this to make me surrender, he is delusional." Gao Guiying kept cheering herself up and forcing herself to become stronger. But she also knew in her heart that Yang Xiao had nothing to make her surrender. If she wanted her body, it would be as easy as a palm. But Yang Xiao didn't touch her, which made Gao Guiying extremely strange and puzzled.
"One team! The whole team!"
That night, Gao Guiying was standing in front of the window and looking at the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly heard a noisy cry in the manor.
"Go and report to the lord that the bandits are surrounded." The voice became more and more urgent, followed by the anxious shouts of the soldiers and the neighing of the horses.
"Uncle!" Gao Guiying was extremely excited when she heard the scream. The past twenty days made her think that Gao Yingxiang had already forgotten her, but she did not expect that just when she was about to be in despair, this hope suddenly came.
"Don't panic, everyone is on the wall to defend." A familiar voice rang out, and Gao Guiying could hear the voice of the personal soldier beside Yang Xiao.
"How many people are outside?" Then Yang Xiao's voice also sounded.
"More than a thousand people!" The report made Gao Guiying ecstatic.
"Prepare to break through!" Yang Xiao's voice became extremely solemn.
"Wang Zhengnan!"
"I'm here!"
"Go and tie Miss Gao!"
"yes!"
When Gao Guiying heard that Yang Xiao had not forgotten himself yet, he felt miserable. What does this dog official mean? Just kill or cut off my aunt and give her a happy life. But she was so hungry that she was so anxious.
Gao Guiying took a long breath and forced herself to stabilize. Now is the best chance to escape. If Yang Xiao was asked to take her away, I don’t know when the rebels will be with him next time.
