The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 244
Perhaps it was because after Xu He's rebellion a few years ago, Guo Jia failed to kill the Yizhou wealthy families who followed Xu He's rebellion, so Zhang Baiqi felt that he had the confidence to beg Guo Jia to surrender.

Regardless of whether Zhang Baiqi's begging for surrender was out of helplessness or because he thought Guo Jia would think about his old love, but Guo Jia's punishment of the Yizhou wealthy family last time was just a strategy to rule Yizhou and divide the Yizhou wealthy family. There is no such thing as soft and kind treatment At present, Zhang Baiqi has no capital to let Guo Jia be punished lightly.

When Zhang Baiqi resolutely embarked on the road of rebellion, the consequence of his reckless rebellion was a complete break and confrontation with Guo Jia.

All past achievements have been obliterated.

Guo Jia and Zhang Baiqi are hostile and each other's enemies.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

"Zhang Baiqi is more naive than I imagined. He will oppose what he says, and he will surrender when he says he will. Could it be that I didn't kill enough people or I was too kind to him?"

Guo Jia sneered.

Once, he forgave Zhang Baiqi once. He thought that Zhang Baiqi would have a better memory, but he didn't expect that there are really unrepentant idiots.

Qin Mi was silent, Zhang Baiqi had nothing to sympathize with, but did Guo Jia give the impression of being too kind?There are some.

In those years when Yizhou was peaceful, Guo Jia hardly let down his anger. He smiled harmlessly in front of everyone. He treated the common people and officials with more generous policies and treatment. It seems that Guo Jia is like a lord who helps the world. Although he adheres to the rule of law, he will send people to review the case before he is severely punished, for fear of being wronged or the sentence is too severe.

It doesn't matter whether Guo Jia is compassionate or kind-hearted, Qin Mi knows that if others think that such a monarch will not kill people or have thunder and anger, then it is a big mistake. Emotions and anger are invisible. The best mask is not to have no expression, but to keep a smile all the time. Officials like them often cannot guess Guo Jia's mind. They can't do what they like, they can only follow the rules.

The epee has no edge, Guo Jia's sharpness has long been restrained, but if he is not angry, it is enough, once angry, it will definitely make all directions tremble.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao angered Guo Jia. Cao Cao almost died in Guanzhong. He was reaping the benefits, but in the end he lost Xiahou Dun. Yuan Shao's 20 troops were annihilated in Guanzhong. However, he was also forced by Guo Jia to tremble and compromise, and if he angered Guo Jia, he would have to pay the price.

Zhang Baiqi is insignificant, but it makes Guo Jia even more angry. Nothing is more chilling than stabbing a knife in the back by one of his own people.

"Reply to Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, young and old, can be killed! If Zhang Baiqi wants to surrender, give him a good time, otherwise, just spend time with him. Anyway, now he is a turtle in the urn and cannot escape. "

Guo Jia was merciless, and the moment Zhang Baiqi rebelled, there was no room for mutual affection.

Cao Cao has an extremely cruel military law.

To surrender, as soon as possible!

If the army besieges the city, those who surrender will not be forgiven!
This is a way to deter the enemy, but it makes sense.

The siege of an isolated city is almost the end of defeat. Surrender at this time is out of helpless survival instinct. Cao Cao does not pardon the surrender in this situation.

Never, never, don't let my army surround your city!

Otherwise, I will not accept your surrender!
The opportunity to surrender only exists when the outcome is not decided. If after the siege, the winner is in hand, and the besieged want to surrender again, I'm sorry, it's too late!
Zhang Baiqi was besieged in Hanping County, with ten deaths and no life. At this time, he still wanted to give his descendants a way to survive by begging. .

When the news of Guo Jia's refusal to accept Zhang Baiqi's begging to surrender spread to Zhang Yan's camp outside Hanping County, Zhang Yan was expressionless and walked out, intending to kill Zhang Baiqi's family on the spot.

Deng Zhi stood in front of Zhang Yan and said: "General, why don't you lie to Zhang Baiqi and tell him that the lord accepts his begging, but asks him to kill himself in front of his face. In this way, Hanping County can be broken in the blink of an eye."

Soldiers never tire of deceit, and there is nothing wrong with intrigues and tricks in war.

But Zhang Yan sighed inexplicably, shook her head and said, "Give Zhang Baiqi some dignity."

Begging for a surrender is already a disgrace, if the death is unknown again, Zhang Yan really can't do it.

Zhang Baiqi has a dead end, how to die, or leave it to Zhang Baiqi to choose.

In the scorching sun, Zhang Yan once again brought out Zhang Baiqi, all three tribes, young and old, and escorted them to kneel beside the river one by one.

As soon as Zhang Yan appeared, Zhang Baiqi, who had been paying attention to the movement on the other side of the river, appeared at the head of the city.

"Feiyan, what does my lord say?"

Seeing Zhang Yan dragging his family out, Zhang Baiqi knew something was wrong, but asked more questions.

Zhang Yan didn't answer Zhang Baiqi, and waved the butcher knife without the slightest hesitation.

Blood splattered and screams suddenly broke out.

A human head rolled into the river.

Zhang Baiqi turned pale with shock, and yelled at Zhang Yan in grief: "Feiyan! How could you do it?! Have you forgotten? He is Liu'er, and he and your eldest son were brothers the year before last! Feiyan! Stop it!"

Unmoved, Zhang Yan beheaded Zhang Baiqi's family, young and old, one by one. Standing in a pool of blood, Zhang Yan looked up at the head of Hanping County. Zhang Baiqi's crumbling bloated body came into view.

"Zhang Baiqi, come out of the city to fight!"

The distraught Zhang Baiqi suddenly straightened his back, leaned out of the wall and shouted at Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yan, I will tear your body to pieces!"

"Come on! I'm here, come out and fight to the death!"

Zhang Yan did not retreat an inch, and his momentum was soaring, it was louder than Zhang Baiqi's roar, and the roar seemed to penetrate into the sky.

Intimidated by Zhang Yan's condescending aura like a tiger pouncing on his prey, he retreated a few steps hastily, trembling all over, and the saber he was carrying fell to the ground with a clatter. He dared not, dare not go out of the city to fight...

In front of the tragic death of his relatives, it was like a nightmare tormenting his heart. At this moment, he wanted revenge, but was also timid and afraid of death.

Zhang Baiqi disappeared at the top of the city, and Zhang Yan, covered in blood, came to the river, bent down to scoop up the river water, trying to wash off the filth on his body.

But just as he picked up the water with both hands, he saw blood floating in the river out of the corner of his eyes, and he woke up suddenly. In this river, there were heads of Zhang Baiqi's family...

Deng Zhi came behind Zhang Yan. When Zhang Yan was in a daze, Deng Zhi hesitated for a while before asking: "General, is what Zhang Baiqi said true? His son and the general's eldest son really became brothers with different surnames?" "

Looking at the bloody river water, Zhang Yan nodded slightly without changing his face.

He and Zhang Baiqi did not have any intersections before they took refuge in Guo Jia. At that time, the Yellow Turbans scattered in various places fought on their own. There was neither a leader who could come out to integrate the Yellow Turbans, nor did the generals from all over the country form an alliance to advance and retreat together. the plan of.After taking refuge in Guo Jia, the friendship between Zhang Yan and Zhang Baiqi can only be understood by colleagues, there is no congeniality or brotherhood, no one isolates Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Baiqi not only has friendship with Zhang Yan, but also with Xu Chudian Wei and others also had it, but when Zhang Baiqi rebelled, their personal relationship was completely cut off due to official business.

"You should know that both Zhang Baiqi and I were born in yellow scarves, right?"

Zhang Yan waved her hands, stood up, looked up at Hanping County, who was waiting in full force, with flashes of reminiscence in her eyes.

Deng Zhi is young, he was appointed by Guo Jia and sent under Zhang Yan's command before he was 20 years old. He has a promising future, but he only knows about many major events that have influenced the direction of history in the past through hearsay. He has no idea.

The Yellow Turban Uprising was far away for him. When the Yellow Turban Rebels came into his eyes, Zhang Jiao was already dead, and the Taiping Road was also approaching the end of its destruction.

Even today, few people in the world know why Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, Xu He, and Sima Ju went to seek refuge with Guo Jia who could not protect themselves.

At that time, Guo Jia had no soldiers, horses, money or food, and he was still a prisoner of the imperial court. No one with normal thinking would choose to take refuge in such a young man.

Just like when Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo back then, without this background, the counselor Chen Gong would probably not have chosen to join Lu Bu. Today, there are many people who do not understand the fact and timing that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo as a great hero for the people. It is difficult for people to understand why Chen Gong would take refuge in the capricious and brave Lu Bu.

"At that time, millions of disciples of the Taiping Road followed the great virtuous teacher and held high the flag of righteousness, intending to overthrow the Han Dynasty and create a peaceful world. Unfortunately, they were defeated in Luoyang. The 36 Fang Qu commanders were killed, wounded, surrendered or fled. The days when we took hundreds of thousands of people to hide in the mountains and forests, and there were fields that could not be plowed, because there would be wars at any time, food and food were exhausted, and they were dying. Clothes and bodies were not enough to eat, and grass roots and bark were commonplace. To this day, I still remember the feeling of that time, it is simply unbearable to look back on.”

Zhang Yan's tone was flat, but he said a heavy sentence.

Nowadays, Zhang Yan is very beautiful, has no worries about food and clothing, and is a general in the army. She has long since stopped worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Deng Zhi only saw Zhang Yan's glamorous side, but she didn't know how long ago, Zhang Yan could only be regarded as the leader of a group of refugees , Want money but no money, want food and lack food.

"I later realized that, based on troubled times, if I don't have the ability to set up a family and start a business, I should follow a wise master and be able to serve my lord. The lord has fulfilled the promise of the day, Sima Ju is dead, Xu He is dead, Zhang Baiqi is about to die, and the remaining generals of the Yellow Turbans will soon be left alone. Prejudice, I will definitely let that person take a look at the current life of the people of Taipingdao. All this is given by the master, and the death of Sima Ju and others just proves why the Yellow Turban Uprising failed. I leave the fate to the master , I won’t think about it anymore, I Zhang Yan, I will be a minister all my life, and I will give up my heart, let alone me as a husband, so why not die? The great virtuous teacher wants to create a peaceful and prosperous world, and on this day, the Lord will realize it!”
