I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 246 If you are a man, follow me to Dongguan
There is no doubt that Chang Xi is a born rebellious man, and people like him will never truly submit to anyone.
Even if Wang Jing captured and released him seven times, Chang Xi would not become the second Meng Huo. Even if he agreed to surrender on the surface, he would find an opportunity to strike back secretly.
However, Chang Xi's arrogance has basically been worn away. If possible, he just wants to escape to the ends of the earth and stay away from Wang Jing.
The sand mining field was really not a place suitable for human beings to stay. Chang Xi was very afraid that he would die here one day, quietly and insignificantly, like a piece of weed trampled on by the roadside.
"Changxi!"
The warden's roar brought Chang Xi back to reality.
Chang Xi, whose edges had been smoothed out, no longer had the arrogance he once had. Not to mention facing Wang Jing, even when facing a low-ranking warden, he instinctively knelt down, stepped forward, and nodded and fawned on him: "Warden, I wonder what you want from me?"
"It's not me who wants to see you, it's the military advisor who wants to see you."
After saying this, the warden bowed and nodded to please a young man next to him.
Although he was young, he was dressed elegantly, had red lips and white teeth, and his handsome face was filled with a faint smile. One could tell at a glance that he was from a wealthy family who had no worries about food and clothing and could afford to go to school.
However, Chang Xi guessed wrong. Guo Jia came from a poor family and indeed had no connection with the aristocratic family.
"Are you Chang Xi?"
"Yes, yes, I am Chang Xi."
In the past, Chang Xi was as unruly as a wolf, and whenever he looked at people, his eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty cold light.
But now, he has almost been domesticated into a dog, and a most spineless one at that.
Guo Jia secretly sighed in his heart, hard labor is really torturous. Even a devil like Chang Xi who fears nothing was tortured into this state. It shows how evil this place is.
Guo Jia looked at Chang Xi with a cold gaze, as if he was not looking at a living person, but examining a tool or an object: "Chang Xi, there is something I need you to do now. If you do it well, you can live the carefree life you had before. But if you mess up, you may not be able to live like this anymore."
It is obvious that Chang Xi is taller than Guo Jia, has a more muscular build, and looks more ferocious than him.
But standing in front of Guo Jia, Chang Xi felt that he was the humble and weak little sheep who was powerless to resist. He did not dare to resist Guo Jia's will at all: "It is my great honor to serve as a military advisor. I will go through fire and water and will not refuse even if it means death."
Guo Jia just laughed at the promise of the Jianghu people, and didn't take it to heart at all. His tone was still cold and ruthless: "What I want you to do is very simple. I will ask the local warden to release you later, and also release some of your men, and give you weapons and armor."
Chang Xi thought that Wang Jing had finally remembered him and wanted to surrender, so he was very excited and knelt on one knee: "I pay my respects to the military advisor and am willing to die for Marquis Qi!"
Guo Jia sneered: "I have seen many people like you. I dare not believe you when you say you are willing to serve me. In fact, the lord originally intended to keep you here to serve until death, but I think you are still a little useful, so I suggest to the lord to let you go back and let you go back to your old job."
These words made Chang Xi break out in a cold sweat, his hands and feet trembling with fear.
After all, he has the blood of Haozhi and his perception ability is not low, so he knows that Guo Jia's words are not a bluff, but Wang Jing really intends to throw him into the sand mining field to serve his sentence until death.
Now that he finally had a chance to escape, Chang Xi was so excited that he wanted to cry loudly on the spot, but he did not dare to show his weakness, only because Guo Jia gave him weapons and armor, and also summoned his old subordinates for him, and what he was asked to do would inevitably involve bloodshed.
If I cried and Guo Jia felt that I was unworthy of being trained and continued to leave me here to die, that would be really unfair.
So Chang Xi suppressed his grievances and once again showed the arrogance and ferocity that he had shown when he was rampant on Mount Tai. He said to Guo Jia, "May I ask, Advisor, who do you want me to deal with?"
Guo Jia couldn't help but look up to Chang Xi for his bachelor behavior. "Your attitude is very good. Keep it up and let me see your value. Otherwise, in this vast world, if I want you dead, no one can save you."
Chang Xi thought of the scene of fighting with Wang Jing on the battlefield, and shuddered. He lowered his head to show respect: "I will do my best!"
Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction and ordered Chang Xi: "After you return to Mount Tai, find a way to gather the bandits and go to Xuzhou to cause chaos."
Chang Xi immediately understood that Wang Jing was targeting Xuzhou. Then he thought of Sun Guan, one of the people who had gotten him into this situation. He became furious and said, "As you command!"
Baby, oh baby, don't blame me!
Chang Xi thought viciously in his heart that he wanted to attack Xuzhou and take revenge!
…………
Mount Tai, Black Dragon Pool
The mountains are towering and the atmosphere is majestic. Such a magnificent scene makes people feel passionate and ambitious.
After entering the mountain along the secret path, Chang Xi looked at the familiar scenery around him, and a fire in his heart ignited again: "I'm finally back."
"Wang Jing, Guo Jia, Tao Qian, each of you wants to use me as a pawn, but now I have finally broken free from the fake restraints on my body, all of you, just wait for me!"
Chang Xi's heart was burning with anger. Now he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Even though he acted like a grandson and showed his loyalty to Guo Jia in order to survive, all that was just an act. He was a wild and unruly wolf, and his unruly nature was ingrained in his bones.
The mountain road was rugged, but Chang Xi's steps were very brisk. No matter how difficult the road was, it was better than being locked up in a sand mine to dig sand.
Chang Xi, with more than 500 men, followed a mountain path that only they knew and soon arrived at the outskirts of Black Dragon Pond, where they were discovered by the sentry on duty.
"He who comes is stopped!"
The bandits in the mountain stronghold were very vigilant, mainly because Xue Lan, the governor of Mount Tai, had sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times before. Therefore, until this moment, the entire mountain stronghold was still in a state of panic, fearing that the government troops would attack again.
When the time comes and the gate of the village is breached, they will be in no danger of escaping with their crimes.
Chang Xi took off his bamboo hat, revealing an ugly face that had experienced many hardships: "It's me, I'm back!"
"Boss Changba!?"
The guard on duty had an expression of disbelief, his mouth opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in it.
After a short silence, the whole village was in an uproar, with people everywhere shouting and cheering: "Boss Changba is back!"
Chang Xi was very satisfied with this. Although he had been away for some time, it seemed that his influence in the village had not declined. This saved him a lot of worries.
Wu Dun and Yin Li rushed over after hearing the news, accompanied by a group of personal guards. Then they looked at the returning Chang Xi with complicated eyes. Unlike ordinary bandits in the mountain stronghold, they did not want Chang Xi to come back.
After Chang Xi was captured, these two people have been fighting openly and secretly, trying to swallow up the power that Chang Xi left in Heilongtan.
If they had not restrained each other, Chang Xi's troops and money would have been divided up by them long ago. However, even so, most of the things Chang Xi left behind were eaten by the two of them.
The subordinates who were originally loyal to Chang Xi have had a very difficult time in the past six months and can only rely on each other for warmth.
Chang Xi glanced at the faces of Wu Dun and Yin Li, and from their evasive gazes, he realized that something was wrong. With just a quick thought, Chang Xi roughly guessed what the two of them had done.
"Boss Changba!"
Among the bandits, several old bandit leaders came out excitedly, "You are finally back!"
"Boss Changba, you have to make the decision for us!"
After saying this, these people seemed to have found a backer, and glared at Wu Dun and Yin Li with resentment. Their angry eyes seemed as if they wanted to eat them alive.
Wu Dun and Yin Li were not the type to sit and wait for death. They also had a group of loyal followers behind them, so they put their hands on the knife handle with cold brows and angrily said to Chang Xi: "Chang Ba, what are you going to do?!"
He cowered in the sand mining field, and struck hard in the bandit den. Seeing that the younger brothers who used to call him "big brother" now dared to challenge him, Chang Xi felt both emotional and angry. His eyes became cold, staring at Wu Dun and Yin Li: "Why, you have grown wings, so you dare not take me seriously? Once I am your big brother, I will be your big brother forever!"
Wu Dun and his men had already divided up a lot of the inheritance left by Chang Xi. Now he was in a difficult situation and could only stand in front of Chang Xi and said, "Chang Ba, you were captured by Marquis Qi and became a prisoner. What can you do now even if you come back? There is no place for you here."
"That's right! There's no place for you!"
Yin Li also stood on Wu Dun's side and joined hands to challenge Chang Xi.
Chang Xi's return with his old troops not only failed to strengthen the power of the Taishan bandits, but also led to an internal conflict and a fight, making the situation tense in an instant.
"You fart!"
Chang Xi was such a domineering person. When he saw that Wu Dun and Yin Li actually wanted to expel him from the Black Dragon Pond, he was furious. His whole body was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "You two, do you want to rebel?"
In a rage, Chang Xi drew his sword, and with his wolf eyes, he stared at Wu Dun and Yin Li with a bloodthirsty cold light, as if he was ready to fight immediately if they couldn't reach an agreement.
Wu Dun and Yin Li were not afraid to give in. They tightly grasped their weapons, their blood boiling, and stared at Chang Xi angrily without showing any weakness: "Flowers do not last forever, and people are not good forever. You have been the leader for so many years, it's time for us to take that position!"
"That's right, fight if you want, who's afraid of who?"
Behind Wu Dun and Yin Li, a group of younger brothers were also very excited and wanted to take a chance and succeed in getting to the top.
Chang Xi was defeated by Wang Jing and had long lost his former prestige. Now he was just a loser who escaped in a panic, and he was no longer the leader of the four bandits who dominated Yanzhou.
In terms of cultivation, Chang Xi is naturally far superior to Wu Dun and Yin Li. However, he was tortured so hard in the sand mining field that even though he has the blood of a Haozhu, his qi and blood have been depleted, and his strength has been reduced by 60% to 70%. This is exactly when he is the weakest. If he fights hard with Wu Dun and Yin Li, he may really capsize in the ditch.
What's more, even if he killed Wu Dun and Yin Li, what would happen?
Before anything big is done, there's already an internal fight. What's the point of doing anything in the future?
Therefore, seeing that he could not subdue Wu Dun and Yin Li, Chang Xi rolled his eyes and changed his tone: "Humph, I can let bygones be bygones. I am too lazy to care about how much you took advantage of me. Next, I will do something big, and you must lend a hand to me, otherwise we will die together."
After saying this, Chang Xi rode his horse and sat down on the leader's seat, looking down at Wu Dun and Yin Li.
Wu Dun and Yin Li were full of questions, wondering what Chang Xi was up to.
"Changba, what do you think?"
Neither of them wanted to fight. After all, Chang Xi had the blood of Haozhi and was quite powerful. If they really fought, it would not be good for anyone.
Wu Dun and Yin Li looked at each other, and both stopped at the same time, intending to listen to what Chang Xi had to say first.
Chang Xi opened his mouth wide and said with a fierce smile: "You still want to seize power from me here, don't you know that your death is approaching?"
Wu Dun and Yin Li felt uneasy after hearing this: "Chang Ba, what do you mean by this?"
"Idiot, why don't you think about why I can come back alive?"
Chang Xi's words made Wu Dun and Yin Li react instantly and realize that something was wrong.
Because Chang Xi did not come back alone, he brought back more than 500 subordinates, and each of them was fully armed. It didn't look like they had escaped at all.
Suddenly, Yin Li thought of a possibility and looked at Chang Xi in surprise: "Did Marquis Qi let you come back on purpose?"
Wu Dun was so frightened that he dared not speak, because the matter involved Wang Jing, so he dared not act rashly.
Chang Xi saw that both of them were stunned by the shock, and then he nodded with satisfaction, and his tone was even more mocking: "Well, are you scared now? Marquis Qi not only let me come back, but also gave me a mission."
"What mission?"
Chang Xi's words made Wu Dun and Yin Li very curious.
After all, the matter involved Wang Jing, and they had no choice but to take it seriously.
Chang Xi wanted to chop these two traitorous brothers into pieces and feed them to the dogs, but in order to survive, he had to cooperate with them.
"Marquis Qi said that he wants us to attack Xuzhou. As long as this matter is done well, the past grudges can be written off and we may even be rewarded."
Chang Xi did not hide anything and told Wu Dun and Yin Li everything about Guo Jia's instructions.
"You want us to attack Xuzhou?"
Wu Dun and Yin Li were full of suspicion, always thinking that Chang Xi was fooling them, so they didn't trust these words: "Did Lord Qi really say that?"
Chang Xi knew what the two idiots were thinking, and immediately laughed angrily: "Marquis Qi is of such high status, would he come to tell me such a small matter in person? Although I didn't see Marquis Qi himself, the person who came to deliver the message was Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao. It's up to you whether you listen or not. Anyway, if this matter is not handled well, then the people who come to encircle and suppress us will not be small fry like Xue Lan."
Wang Jing has many brave generals under his command. In Yanzhou alone there are four first-rate generals: Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and Taishi Ci, who have all made a name for themselves on the battlefield.
No matter who comes, they will not be able to deal with it.
Wu Dun and Yin Li gave in on the spot, thinking that Chang Xi would not deceive them in such a matter.
Chang Xi saw that he had finally subdued the two traitors after bringing up Wang Jing, so he continued, "Guo Fengxiao only gave me ten days to send troops immediately, through Gai County, across Laigong Mountain, and along the Yishui River to attack Dongguan County. As long as we take Dongguan, we will have made a great contribution and will be rewarded in due time."
If the attack on Dongguan County in the north of Xuzhou succeeded, everyone would be happy, but if it failed, his subordinates would inevitably suffer huge casualties, and might even be seriously injured.
Therefore, Wu Dun and Yin Li both suspected that this was a deliberate attempt to consume their strength.
Chang Xi sneered: "What great things can be accomplished by being timid?"
Wu Dun was not convinced and immediately retorted to Chang Xi: "Who was it that said that he would never be a lackey of the imperial court? Now you seem to be very concerned about Marquis Qi's affairs. So, are you going to be a lackey of the imperial court too?"
Chang Xi was furious: "What a joke! I am the greatest in the world, Chang Ba. I will not submit to anyone!"
After venting his anger, Chang Xi finally expressed his thoughts: "Humph, you two idiots have been hiding in the Black Dragon Pond, oblivious to what is happening outside. How could you know that it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive in Yanzhou nowadays? If I don't find a way out for you guys as soon as possible, are we going to die together?"
Wang Jing improved the public security in Yanzhou with increasing force.
Anyone who dared to dissent would basically have their property confiscated and their clan exterminated, and scenes of bloody suppression by Qingzhou soldiers could be seen everywhere.
Chang Xi had been in the sand mining field for more than half a year. He saw new people being captured and thrown in almost every day, so he was well aware of the changes in the situation in Yanzhou.
The good life of occupying mountains and robbing and extorting is gone forever.
Chang Xi also believed that the Taishan area would sooner or later be targeted by the imperial court, and would then be encircled and suppressed with great efforts.
Wu Dun and Yin Li were not familiar with this change and still did not take it seriously: "If the imperial court wants to encircle and suppress us, then so be it. It's not like we haven't fought before. Are we afraid?"
"That's right, Changba. It seems that the older you are, the less courageous you become."
"idiot!"
Seeing that the two had no sense of crisis and even mocked him, Chang Xi was immediately furious and scolded them for being short-sighted: "Do you really think you can rest assured by hiding in Mount Tai? Can Marquis Qi turn a blind eye to the threat that is so close to him? It's simply stupid!"
Chang Xi pointed at Wu Dun and Yin Li's noses and taunted them: "When the time comes, Marquis Qi only needs to send soldiers to guard a few entrances to the mountain roads to prevent us from going down the mountain to plunder. What can we do if we hide in the mountains? Starve to death? Use your pig brains to think about it. If we really piss off Wang Jing, how many lives will we have left?"
After being scolded, the two of them realized that something was wrong with the current situation. (End of this chapter)
