The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 420
"I heard that the robes of the Governor of the Eagle and Wolf Guards are purple in color and embroidered with the head of a gray wolf. This person should most likely be Wei Lu, the Governor of the Wolf Guards."

Wen Chou's body turned slightly, and he said to Yan Liang in a low voice. Compared with Wen Chou, Yan Liang naturally didn't have so much patience to understand the situation of the Yellow Turban Army in detail, so Wen Chou reminded Yan Liang.

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Lu's leaving back, wondering what he was thinking.

Wen Chou just glanced at Wei Lv, then looked away, and signaled the small school of the Yellow Turban Army to enter the big tent to report.

If it was the emissary of the Eagle Wolf Guard, it would be normal for him to dare to talk to Xu You like this.

The embroidered emissary of the imperial court was established based on the Eagle Wolf Guard of the Yellow Turban Army. Because of their many actions, the Eagle Wolf Guard has long been known to these officers.

The Eagle Guards are outside, and the Wolf Guards are inside. The Wolf Guards' duty is to monitor the interior of the Yellow Turban Army. It can be said that the Eagle and Wolf Guards are equivalent to Xu An's eyes and ears.

The quarrel that happened in the tent just now seemed that Xu An knew nothing about Xu You's detaining their family members.

But this does not rule out the possibility that it is specially made for them.

"It's no use thinking about it."

Yan Liang handed the huanshou knife around his waist to the guard at the side. He had already noticed Wen Chou's expression, so he naturally knew what Wen Chou was thinking.

"Now we have joined the Taiping Dao. The official road was defeated in the first battle. In fact, we have no way out. The only way out is to join the Taiping Dao. You and I should be very clear."

"I see."

Wen Chou nodded. He actually understood this truth very well. He just said that Xu You threatened the lives of the two of their families and clansmen, which made him very unhappy.

After a while, the curtain was lifted again, and the small yellow scarf army officer who went in was standing beside the curtain and made a gesture of invitation.

After Wen Chou handed over the weapon at his waist to the guards at the side, he followed Yan Liang into the big tent.

Yan Liang walked into the big tent and glanced around habitually.

In the big tent, Xu You sat at the head seat, and behind him was a huge map of map. Apart from a few desks and mats, there was nothing else in the tent. Standing beside Xu You were seven Eight soldiers holding the swords around their heads, these people should be the soldiers protecting Xu You.

However, these soldiers were not taken seriously by Yan Liang. If he and Wen Chou really wanted to kill Xu You, as long as they could get closer, these seven or eight soldiers would definitely not be able to stop them.

But this is just thinking about it. If Xu You were really killed, their families and clansmen would definitely be wiped out.

"Xu Youduo has offended you, and I ask the two Sima's to forgive me."

Seeing Yan Liang and Wen Chou entering the big tent, Xu You also stood up and walked down from the first seat, and then bowed solemnly to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not evade, and accepted Xu You's gift frankly. Although the two armies were fighting, they used all kinds of methods, and Xu You's use of these methods was a good strategy, but it was indeed too low-handed.

Xu You walked up to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"I ordered someone to bring the family members of the two Sima into the barracks. Although it is quite shameless, I actually did this for the sake of the two Sima."

"Mr. Xu arrested the family members of the two of us, but he still said he was thinking of us two?" Yan Liang laughed dumbfounded, and sneered, "Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't understand Mr. Xu's intentions, do we still need the two of us?" Thank you Mr. Xu for your kindness?"

Xu You heard the sarcasm in Yan Liang's tone.

"I am familiar with the two Sima's methods of using troops, and there are more than [-] troops under their command, and the two Sima only have more than [-] troops."

"I use my heart to calculate without intention. Our army treats the near to the far, the lost to the labor, and the full to the hungry. We also have sharp weapons for field battles, and machines that send stones like rain. The two Sima have no chance of winning. Fighting, the two Sima must have known the result."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't speak, they just watched Xu You silently.

Naturally, they are very clear about the result of the battle of officialdom. Now the entire Fuliu camp has been spread, and he and Wen Chou were indeed defeated. Even if they refuse to surrender, then they will inevitably become the winners of this battle. One of the dead.

"Once the army is defeated, the two Sima will have to go to the Embroidered Clothes Envoy Prison after the battle. The two Sima should be very clear about who the Embroidered Clothes Envoys are."

When Xu You talked about the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, a murderous look appeared on his face.

"The plan to abolish the emperor was proposed by Wang Shijun. I was the mastermind and Zhou Jing was the implementer. Later, the plan was revealed and Wang Shijun committed suicide. Zhou Jing and I fled to the Taihang Mountains and joined the Yellow Turban Army. Some of the files have been destroyed, and in fact we have very few contacts."

"It is reasonable to say that the embroidered clothes envoy did not have much evidence, and the arrest of the prisoner was only the arrest of a small number of relevant people, but in fact, a large number of people were arrested and imprisoned, including officials, officials, and generals from Jizhou. .”

A trace of contempt appeared on Xu You's face, and he snorted coldly.

"The embroidered messengers in Jizhou are basically weaving injustice cases. They are called arresting rebels, but they are actually eliminating dissidents..."

Xu You didn't finish his sentence. Jian Shuo took advantage of this incident to arrest officials and generals and imprison them. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen his control over Jizhou and weaken the influence of aristocratic families and tyrants.

But what Jian Shuo didn't expect was that the Yellow Turban Army of the four states would rise up at this time, and in just half a month, they would set off a tsunami that swept across the six states of Ji, Yan, Yu, Qing, Xu, and Sili.

But Xu You didn't finish talking about these things, and told Yan Liang and Wen Chou, because these didn't have much to do with what he was going to say now.

"The two Sima's are very brave. They are heroes. If they were from aristocratic families, they would have already been promoted to the position of captain. However, the two Sima's backgrounds are ordinary people. As I said before, if there is no accident, It must be the Sima of the Stopping Army, and if he is defeated again, his life may not be saved."

"I really feel that it is a pity that the two talents have been reduced, so I want to recruit two Sima to join my Yellow Turban Army. As I said before, it is not a good idea for two talents to worship generals and marquises in my Yellow Turban Army. Difficult."

Xu You paused, bowed his hands, and said solemnly.

"I have worked together for many years, and I know that the two Sima are of high moral character, so I am worried that the two Sima will not surrender, but choose to die on the battlefield for the National Day of Death."

"The emperor's fatuousness caused the world to be in turmoil, the people were miserable, the imperial court extorted violently, the officials were rampant, and they bullied the villagers wantonly. During the severe drought, many lands had no crops. There was no money for relief, but more taxes were collected. In the city of Luoyang Officials, rich and powerful are arrogant, extravagant and lustful, greedy for happiness, and the people live in poverty, so the country is really rotten."

Xu You took another step forward with a slightly harsh tone.

"The king regards his ministers like dirt, and the ministers regard the king as a bandit. A powerful family is high above but has no pen and ink in his chest. People who are brave and truly talented are like the two Sima, but they can only be inferior to others. It is an insult to die for such a country."

Wen Chou wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of words to refute. In the past, all his military exploits were only exchanged for a small prince, and the position of military commander still cost a lot of money.

Xu You changed the subject.

"However, if you join my Taiping Dao, in the eyes of the world, it will undoubtedly be an act of betrayal and lack of morality. That's why I made this bad move and invited the two family members to enter the barracks."

"At that time, in the eyes of the world, Xu You used this as a threat to force the two to join the Taiping Dao. Therefore, they will think that the two Sima joined my Taiping Dao because of the lives of their family members. be preserved."

Xu You took off the folding fan pinned to his waist, waved it and continued to speak.

"Actually, even if the two Sima choose not to join my Taiping Dao, I will definitely not take action against the family members of the two Sima. If the two Sima don't believe me, I can immediately order someone to send the family members of the two Sima back to their original place. land."

Xu You paused, and then spoke after thinking for a moment.

"The two Sima should have heard what Wei Lu, the governor of the Wolf Guard Township, told me outside the tent just now."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou nodded, admitting the incident. The Yellow Turban junior who reported this kind of incident would definitely pass it on to Xu You, and it was not a big deal, so there was no need to hide it.

"The rules of the Yellow Turban Army stipulate that one of them is that those who trample on crops shall be given twenty lashes, and those who infringe on residents shall be beheaded immediately, including powerful families. Those who have not been convicted will be punished by beheading if they trespass without authorization."

"As far as I know, according to this decree, the person with the highest official position who committed the crime was a military Sima of the Yellow Turban Army. With such a high official position, he did not escape punishment. I have no reason to bring the family members of the two Sima's family. It's already a violation of the law, but it's not a capital crime."

"But if you hurt the family members of the two of you, you have violated this law. No matter how bold I am, I dare not really do it. The laws in this army are completely open, and all armies In practice, the two Sima only need to understand a little bit to know what I said is true."

After Xu You finished speaking, he once again bowed solemnly to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

"I also ask the two Sima to forgive me for being abrupt."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou pondered for a while, Xu You's words were indeed convincing, and Xu You's low profile now dissipated most of the pent-up anger in Yan Liang and Wen Chou's hearts.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Xu is like a god in military affairs. The two brothers are convinced that we were defeated by Mr. Xu's men. Since the two of us chose to join the Taiping Dao, we will naturally not regret it."

Yan Liang thought for a while, and then said, Wen Chou beside him also didn't talk about the arrest of his family members.

"Thank you, Sima, for your understanding."

A relieved expression appeared on Xu You's face, and the tense atmosphere in the big tent suddenly eased a lot.

After Xu You took Yan Liang and Wen Chou to sit down, he ordered food to be served, and the three chatted in the tent. Xu You used to be Wang Fen's schemer, and most of the communication was in charge of him. .

After the three of them sat down, Xu You mentioned the things they had worked together in the past, and some topics about Bingzhou, and the expressions of Yan Liang and Wen Chou softened a lot.

The guests and the host enjoyed themselves, but when Yan Liang and Wen Chou were not paying attention, Xu You's eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
