Chapter 650 Blood debt must be paid with blood

In a certain village, the soldiers from Xiliang knelt on the ground in front of Su Yao and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Yes, sir. Got it!"

"Thank you, Champion Hou, for sparing my life!"

"We all obey your orders!"

These deserters from Hu Zhen's army hurriedly agreed. Knowing how powerful Su Yao was, they were extremely grateful at this moment, thinking that they had saved their lives.

However, when they understood what Su Yao wanted them to do, they all had smiles on their faces that were uglier than crying.

"What? A spy? Stealing a city???"

"Hey hey!"

"Lord Su, you might as well kill us."

When General Kang Bai heard Su Yao's words, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs went weak.

He originally thought that surrendering to Su Yao would mean fighting behind the invincible champion marquis. Not to mention waving flags and shouting slogans to fish in troubled waters, even if he had to do some hard labor, it would be a job that would not risk his life.

But he never expected that the Champion Marquis would actually let them, the surrendered soldiers, do such a dangerous thing.

You know, spies have to go deep behind enemy lines to collect intelligence and conduct sabotage activities. This not only requires facing the enemy's tight defense, but also the danger of being discovered at all times. Once their identities are discovered by the enemy, what awaits them will be endless torture and death.

Stealing a city is a matter of life and death, and the slightest mistake will lead to eternal damnation.

These deserters chose to run away because they were afraid of fighting. Now they are sent to carry out such a dangerous mission. Naturally, they are extremely afraid and resistant.

However, Su Yao did not give them a chance to refuse and said firmly:

"Last time I gave you a chance to choose and let you go."

"This time, do you think I will show mercy?"

"This"

Kang Baijiang didn't expect that the Champion Marquis still remembered them. He was so scared that he trembled all over and begged for mercy again and again.

Kang Baijiang and the others looked at each other, their hearts filled with despair and fear. They knew that Su Yao always kept his word and did what he said.

If I refuse his order again this time, I will probably die without a burial place.

At this moment, behind Su Yao, Li Yi, Zhang Long and others who had surrendered before stood up one after another, shared their own experiences and tried to persuade them to surrender.

"Brothers, we were also deserters under Hu Zhen's command. We once felt hopeless about the future."

Li Yi stood up and said sincerely:

"But since we surrendered to the Champion, he not only forgave our mistakes, but also gave us the opportunity to prove ourselves again."

"Yes, yes, the Champion Marquis is a famous master in the world."

Zhang Long also echoed:

"He is invincible and is very clear about rewards and punishments for his subordinates. As long as you sincerely submit and serve him, he will never treat you unfairly. We and Li Junhou are proof of this."

Kang Baijiang and others looked at each other when they heard this. They looked at Li Yi and Zhang Long, a little undecided.

"Oh, it's not that I don't trust the Marquis Guanjun, but sneaking into Hangu Pass is really extremely dangerous!"

Kang Baijiang shook his head like a rattle:
"That garrison commander, Dong Huang, is Dong Zhuo's nephew. He has no chance of taking advantage of the situation if he personally supervises the army."

"There are more than 5,000 soldiers guarding the city. It would be a pipe dream for us to sneak in and seize the city."

"I am really worried. Losing our lives in vain is a small matter, but delaying your important affairs is a big matter."

"Then you can rest assured."

Li Yi laughed:
"We are not alone in this infiltration. Lord Su will personally work with us!"

"I think everyone is very clear about his abilities." "As long as everyone acts according to the plan and protects Lord Su, then taking Hangu Pass will definitely not be a problem!"

When Kang Baijiang and others heard this, they showed expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They knew that Su Yao was extremely brave and had a brilliant record of military success, but for a commander to personally sneak into the enemy's rear to steal a city sounded like a fairy tale.

"Lord Su sneaked in personally?"

Kang Baijiang widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice:

"Isn't this too reckless?"

"Why, you don't believe it?"

Su Yao snorted coldly:
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. You now have two choices: either follow my orders and go with me to steal the city, make merit, and get a chance to live."

"Either you die here and put an end to it, or I'll find someone else to do this."

As Su Yao spoke, the knights around him drew their swords, which flashed cold light.

Kang Baijiang and others immediately waved their hands:
"No, no, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, I am willing!"

"I am more than willing to fight alongside the Champion Marquis!"

Kang Baijiang and others quickly expressed their opinions, fearing that Su Yao would really take action.

They knew very well that the Marquis of Guanjun in front of them was no good man. Even the captain Hu Zhen was killed by him. He was a man who would not show mercy if he said so.

Seeing this, Su Yao smiled quietly, put away the knife, and nodded:

"Very good. A man who knows the times is a hero. As long as you cooperate well, I will not treat you unfairly after the matter is accomplished."

Then, overnight, similar things happened in several villages.

Su Yao quickly selected a team of about a hundred people, and added the carefully selected Xiliang surrendered soldiers from his own team to form an infiltration team of nearly two hundred people.

The next morning, Su Yao led everyone, pretending to abandon their weapons and weapons, and ran towards Hangu Pass in groups of three or five.

As the morning mist gradually dissipated, the towering walls of Hangu Pass gradually came into view.

Kang Baijiang brought Su Yao and Li Yi, who were disguised as his soldiers, and they immediately ran to the city gate and reported the military situation in panic.

The officer guarding the city gate knew Kang Baijiang. After hearing what he said, he really didn't notice him and didn't pay any attention to Su Yao, who was standing next to Kang Baijiang with dust on his face and looked disheveled.

As soon as they entered the city, General Kang Bai took Su Yao and others directly to a remote corner of the city, where several simple houses had already been arranged as their temporary hiding place.

"Everyone, take a short break here and wait for my signal."

Here, everyone lay dormant for a short while, avoiding the limelight.

Everyone knows that if they want to capture Hangu Pass as quickly as possible and at the lowest possible cost, it is crucial to strike a blow to the morale of the soldiers guarding the pass.

So, General Kang Bai found his nephew who was stationed in the city, and through him he found some trustworthy soldiers in the city.

Immediately afterwards, rumors began to spread and ferment rapidly.

However, not everything was smooth sailing for them.

The kid from the Kang family was obviously too excited and went too far.

He carried out the mission too successfully, and under the influence of rumors spread by his accomplices, the soldiers in the city were already in danger before Su Yao's army arrived.

As a result, the Kang family boy's outstanding performance also sent himself to the gallows.
After hearing the news, General Kang Bai was in tears.

"His sacrifice will not be in vain."

Su Yao stood up, drew his weapon and said:

"Blood debt must be repaid with blood, traitors must pay the price with blood!"
