Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 176 Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize

Yuan Xi realized that his biggest miscalculation was to underestimate Bai Rao's ability to control his subordinate soldiers.

In the case of the collapse of the bombing camp, it can also stop the subordinates who are fleeing in a panic, which shows that its influence cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, Yuan Xi could clearly see that there were several people standing beside the burning straw hut, despite being licked by the flames, with painful expressions on their faces, they did not dare to move.

Yuan Xi couldn't figure it out, how could Bai Rao's words intimidate his subordinates so much?

Bai Rao saw the restless soldiers on his side quiet down one after another, with a smug smile on his face.

Among the Montenegrin Army, his subordinates are the harshest, but the effect is also the best.

Because he used a lot of remnant alchemists and generals of the Yellow Turban, used the way of celestial masters to control the soldiers of the people under him, and shaped himself into the subordinates of the late celestial master Zhang Jiao, and distributed the mana inherited from him. Any disobedience will be punished by heaven.

Coupled with the cruel punishment and suppression, the soldiers and civilians under him obeyed his words and did not dare to resist at all.

He roared loudly, "I, Bai Rao, is the person favored by the heavens, and I will kill all the attackers!"

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, and began to surround Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi felt regretful in his heart, knowing that he had no choice but to leave at this time, he could only turn around and join his army, and fight back tomorrow.

Before leaving, he was not reconciled, so he got out from the cavalry, stood on the hillside and shouted: "I am Yuan Xi, the prefect of Zhuojun!"

"If you go astray, you can retreat quickly, otherwise when I come back with the army, I won't be merciful!"

Bai Rao laughed and said, "You are Yuan Shao's son? Stupid! I have tens of thousands of troops, what can you do to me!"

"Don't even think about leaving today, go to me and kill this Yuan family son!"

As soon as he flicked the reins, he was about to lead the crowd to charge, but after he ran for a few feet, he found something was wrong.

He stopped his horse and looked back, only to find that the generals and soldiers were hesitating!

He felt bad in his heart and shouted: "What's wrong?"

The crowd became agitated, and a general said: "General, the person opposite is a real person."

After hearing this, Bai Rao suddenly woke up to the rumors circulating in the territory a few days ago, and said angrily, "Aren't you stupid to believe this?"

Li Damu also rode forward at this time, and whispered: "General Bai, that son of the Yuan family, is the man of destiny in the prophecy?"

"Recently, among my subordinates, prophecies about him have also been circulated. One after another, people have escaped and defected to him."

When Bai Rao heard this, he was terrified. Li Da's destination was farther away than himself, already in the middle of the Taihang Mountains. Has this rumor about the Yuan family spread so far?
He felt something was wrong in his heart. If this continues, the situation may change unexpectedly!

He roared: "I am the subordinate of the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao!"

"This kid from the Yuan family is a liar!"

"Come together and kill him!"

However, the situation did not go as he expected, everyone was still hesitating, someone shouted: "If that lord is a real person, aren't we disobeying Huang Tian's order?"

"Also ask the general to investigate!"

Yuan Xi also realized that the situation was wrong at this time, the Black Mountain Army was shaken because of his rumors!
It seems that the rumors I spread have a much greater impact than I imagined?
He made a decisive decision immediately and shouted: "I am Yuan Xi, Yuan Xianyi!"

"My identity, you can keep it in your heart, you don't need to resort to it!"

"But everyone should understand that if you come to vote in Beixincheng, I will treat you like brothers. No matter men, women, old or young, rich or poor, high or low, everyone will be treated equally, and everyone will have enough to eat!"

When Bai Rao heard this, he suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"

"Let's go together and kill him!"

However, it was too late, and the strange atmosphere quickly spread among the crowd, and people whispered, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and then tens of thousands,

"I heard that, that is Yuan Zhenren."

"That's right, we were arrested in a sneak attack on Beixin City, but the real person gave us a good meal and released us all."

"I haven't had a full meal for many years, and the real person let me have a full meal for a month!"

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I have relatives who came back and said exactly the same."

"After listening to you, this Yuan family is indeed a real person. After all, the celestial masters may not make everyone full."

"You don't understand now. It is said in the Taiping scriptures that there are nine people who rule the world. The real person is in charge of the earth, and the celestial master is only the one who speaks for it!" The person who said this was unexpectedly an alchemist.

The people next to him heard this, and said with even more joy: "So that's the case, no wonder there are rumors that his name is a fulfillment of the prophecy, it's all right!"

Yuan Xi released the captives and asked him to bring the rumors back to the Black Mountain Army. After more than half a year of dissemination, they finally began to reap miraculous results!
Before Yuan Xi left, thousands of people from the Taihang Mountains came to Beixincheng, and it was said that there were rumors about Yuan Xi in most of the Taihang Mountains.

When Yuan Xi heard about it, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, only people who believe in rumors will run away. Compared with a few hundred thousand people, thousands of people are still too few.

As a result, today he discovered that this rumor was far more outrageous than he thought!
Now that the right opportunity has been encountered, it finally begins to explode.

Gradually, everyone was whispering the same name in their mouths.

The sound became louder and louder, echoing in the mountains.

After listening to the voice spoken by the crowd, accompanied by the rhythmic rhythm, resounding in the night sky, Bai Rao realized that he lost his composure and lost control!

He used the way of a heavenly master to control his subordinates, but the other party used his own way to fight back against him, and the identity fabricated by the opposite party was much higher than his own!

Volume 42 of the "Taiping Jing": The governance is the will of heaven, so that the nine qi are in harmony, and the nine people are of the same heart, so it can bring peace to the emperor.The so-called nine people are the gods and men with invisible qi, who manage the vitality; the great gods manage the sky; the real people manage the earth; the immortals manage the four seasons; ;The sages are in the management of documents, and they all teach words...
The so-called real person taught by Tianshi is the incarnation of the way of heaven. In a sense, he is the guide of Tianshi. His status is so much higher than that of him, a subordinate of Tianshi!

Bai Rao was furious, Yuan Xi's rumor was true and vicious, it was tantamount to digging his own roots!

Unexpectedly, for the sake of his subordinates, he used alchemists to make the people believe in the Taiping Sutra, but in the end he was used by the other party to counter him!
Bai Rao's mouth was bitter, and he shouted: "This liar deceives the public with his lies, come with me and kill him!"

He yelled and patted the horse out, but found that the generals behind him responded very little, his heart was cold, and his heart was scattered!

His negation of Yuan Xi in this way is tantamount to his denial of the former Zhang Jiao, no wonder everyone is hesitant!
Seeing the great joy, Yuan Xi didn't expect such a change in the situation, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, as long as you come here, the crime of siege will be forgotten!"

As soon as these words came out, the Montenegrin army was moved immediately.

Bai Rao's face was grim at this time: "Do you dare to believe in demons and betray the way of peace, and your family members in Montenegro don't want to live?"

"Whoever dares to betray, I will definitely ask him to destroy the family when I go back!"

"Listen to my orders now, kill all the enemies on Taiping Road and those who want to escape!"

When the rest of the soldiers and civilians heard this, they stopped the steps they had just taken.

When both sides were in panic, screams came from the crowd, and it was unknown who was stabbed to death by the people around them.

No one could tell which side the slain person belonged to, but it was as if cold water was poured into a frying pan, a flock of chickens broke into a wolf, Ximen Qing was born in the Grand View Garden, and the crowd exploded in an instant.

Running away, killing people, Bai Rao's Black Mountain Army quickly fell into a huge panic.

In particular, Bai Rao said that he would kill all the people who ran away. The people who had thought of running away, in fear of death, slashed the butcher's knife at the people around them. The desire to kill, like a stormy sea, swallowed everyone in an instant.

Yuan Xi saw that this kind of madness spread rapidly, and there were people fleeing and hacking all over the place. He asked people to yell to stop, but they couldn't stop it at all.

In desperation, Yuan Xi had no choice but to lead the riders far away, watching this ridiculous scene happen.

Reality is so absurd that it doesn't seem real.

He suddenly became vigilant and used the spread of Taoist teachings to influence people's thinking. The effect was indeed immediate, but if he didn't make much of it, he would suffer a strong backlash just like before.

If he spreads rumors of his destiny among his soldiers and people, will he be like Bai Rao one day, and be used by the enemy in turn, using a bigger and higher name to counter him?

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

Yuan Xi was secretly vigilant in his heart, this kind of trick to exploit people's hearts is after all a small way.

If we want to pacify the world, we still need to win the victory openly and let the people live a good life. This will naturally win the hearts of the people, and this is the right way.

The chaos and screams lasted all night. Qu Yi watched the black mountain bandits killing each other from the city wall, looking crazy, and even knelt down and surrendered.
Young master is so talented, why fight?
The people in the city listened anxiously to the cries outside the city until a cock crow broke the darkness and ushered in the dawn.

In the pale light, Yuan Xi stepped across the ground full of dead bodies, and led the crowd to control the remaining Black Mountain Army.

Qu Yi led his troops out of the city, looked at each other with Yuan Xi, and finally Qu Yi said: "I have fought so many battles, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing."

Yuan Xi thought he was the same. He looked around, and outside Beixin City, within a range of more than ten miles, there were dead bodies everywhere. The soldiers of Beixin City looked pale when they saw it.

The soldiers began to count the number of black bandits who surrendered and died. They killed each other, trampled on each other, and innocent people were hacked to death. There were countless people who died in one night.

Bai Rao fled back to Montenegro with thousands of people, including those who fled everywhere, about half of them escaped, most of them were young and strong men.

Most of those who stayed and surrendered were old, young, women and children. Yuan Xi asked a few people before he realized that almost all of these people were alone, and their family members either died in battle or died of illness.

So they were regarded as useless, and they were driven to attack the city at the forefront.

Those who escaped all had family members in Montenegro. They were afraid that their families would be implicated, so they had to flee back.

These old and young women and children knelt on the ground, very uneasy, because they knew that they were not considered strong laborers, and Beixincheng would not take them back?
Yuan Xi saw him and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as everyone abides by the law in the future, I will never reject anyone!"

When everyone heard this, they burst into tears and kowtowed again and again.

Yuan Xi was in a heavy heart.

Everyone has the right to live.

Do your best and give them a way out.
