75. Sophistry

Therefore, Wu Tao resolutely pulled out his sword and pointed at Yan Yan and Liu Qi, and roared angrily: "How can this be true! You two bewitched the ignorant people to commit rebellion, and they should be beheaded for their crimes? Come on, take these two down! ”

Wu Tao's guards around him drew their knives and forced Liu Qi and Yan Yan one after another, Liu Qi secretly screamed well, waved his hand, and the team behind him immediately rushed forward to protect the two of them in the center, seeing that Wu Tao not only did not kill the traitor, but wanted to treat Liu Qi's crime, where were the people around willing to let go, and spontaneously stopped the soldiers outside from surrounding Liu Qi and them.

"Chen Aniu, do you have a conscience? Those officials have taken care of our life and death? Without General Liu, can you keep your wife and children? You dare to embarrass General Liu, see that the old man doesn't break your dog's legs! ”

"Li Xiaolang, have you forgotten how your father and mother died? Now that the enemy is in front of you, instead of taking revenge, you will harm your savior, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”

"Rebel son, do you want to devote all your family resources to your father, is it to teach you to be loyal and treacherous, and not to help and abuse? If you want to go forward, kill your father first! ”

Most of the soldiers on the periphery were natives, and there were not a few people in the crowd who knew them, and there were scolding for a while, and there were many people who reprimanded their sons and nephews in public, and the soldiers who were originally interested in Liu Qi had an excuse to simply stay put.

Liu Qi's soldiers are all elite soldiers brought out by Zhao Zhen himself, and they have been prepared for a long time to quickly form a circle around Liu Qi, with a big shield as a wall, and rows of long halberds shining with cold light are poked out in the gap between the shield walls, and in the face of the murderous aura in their eyes where the cold is better than the blade, Wu Tao's personal guards are afraid from the bottom of their hearts, where dare to take half a step forward.

"Kill!"

With a shocking low shout, the circle took a step forward, causing Wu Tao's guards to shudder and involuntarily take a step back.

Liu Qi in the center of the formation nodded with satisfaction, although the cooperation between the soldiers and soldiers was not perfect, and the formation was a little messy when it moved, but fortunately, the momentum was compelling, and the effect was still good.

"Liu Qi! Are you really going to rebel?! ”

Wu Tao's heart was also beating nervously, but he couldn't bear it without showing fear, but his confidence was already a few points weaker.

Yan Yan also stood on the prisoner car and said: "General Liu is entrusted by the old man to ask for the people's life, how dare we rebel, but Yan Tong's crime is extremely evil, and it is difficult to stop the people's grievances, the old man as a parent official has to be anxious about the people's urgency, this move is also a last resort, after recovering the fish, the old man will write to the state government to ask for guilt, please make the king order to cut down the Yantong sacrifice flag!" ”

Seeing that the two did not press further, Wu Tao regained his composure slightly, and saw that the angry scolding of the people around him increased rapidly, and he asked in a hurry: "Why didn't I want to immediately raise troops to recover Yufu?" But Yan Zhan still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how easy it is to cut it down, I originally intended to use Yan Tong as a hostage to force Yan Zhan to surrender, without damaging a soldier and a pawn can return the peace of the people, Yan Zhan and his ilk can be designed to get rid of it in the future, why rush for a while? If you kill one person today to vent your anger, how many people will die in vain tomorrow? Who will do justice for them? ”

It seems that there is some truth in what is said, and many people can't help but whisper about it.

"Hahaha! …………”

Liu Qi laughed loudly, and Wu Tao let out a low shout: "Why are you laughing!" ”

He's meowing, this guy still has to quibble!

Liu Qi looked at Wu Tao with disdain and said: "Make you worry too much, how can a group of rabble in the Yan Rebellion Department be enough, you don't need your people and horses to work hard, the last general is willing to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters to recover the fish within a month!" ”

Yes?!

Liu Qiyu was shocked, not only Wu Tao was dumbfounded, but even Yan Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Qi's sleeve and said hurriedly: "Ziyuan............"

Liu Qi smiled and shook his head gently, signaling Yan Yan not to worry, Yan Yan couldn't open his mouth to ask what was going on in front of everyone's eyes, seeing that Liu Qi looked confident, he had to wait and see what happened.

Wu Tao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "There is no joke in the army, you don't want to open your mouth, do you dare to make a military order?" ”

"Why don't you dare, as long as you order Yan Tong to be beheaded, the last general will stand now!"

Yan Yan was anxious, and tugged on Liu Qi's sleeve tightly, and Liu Qi said softly: "Don't worry, Hebo Gong, I have been prepared, and this matter is foolproof." ”

"Good! Grab the pen inkstone. Wu Tao hurriedly ordered someone to take a few cases and spread out the pen, ink and silk silk, and ordered the guards to retreat behind him, Liu Qi also waved his hand to signal his subordinates to disperse, and strode to the front of the case with Yan Yan.

"Heber, please write on your behalf, come here, and get the letter!"

For Liu Qi, it was more difficult to pick up a pen and write than to fight with the rebels, so he hurriedly threw this arduous task to Yan Yan, and looked at Wu Tao with a smile with his hands behind his back a few steps forward, Yan Yan couldn't bear the curiosity and apprehension in his heart and worked hard to write.

Yan Yan blew the ink that had not dried, took a deep breath, picked up the written military order and handed it to Liu Qi: "An Liang is also an old man!" ”

The plan agreed with Yan Yan only aroused public anger and forced Wu Tao to kill Yan Tong, but it did not include the content of Liu Qi marching alone, and now Liu Qi suddenly came to such a hand to make Yan Yan extremely displeased, thinking that Liu Qi still did not trust himself, and wrote his name on the military order to tell Liu Qi: The old man cooperated with you without reservation, and now he has handed over his life to you, you kid will do it!

Looking at Yan Yan, who was not good-looking, Liu Qi could only smile in return, how could he not leave a hand at stake, but now that Yan Yan has completely stated his position, it is impossible to have two hearts, and he can rest assured that Liang Feng's matter can be told to him after he goes back.

Stamped and drawn, Liu Qi walked to Wu Tao with the military order, Wu Tao stretched out his hand and took it and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned his head and looked Liu Qi up and down, his eyes were full of confusion, and after a long time, Wu Tao, who was puzzled, had to sigh slightly: "I hope that the general's flag will be victorious and the good news will be passed on early." ”

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Thank you Jun Jiyan, then, ............ this Yan Tong?" ”

"The thief will be handed over to the general."

Since Liu Qi dared to openly disobey the order, he would undoubtedly hold on to it, how could he care if he agreed or not, if he forcibly beheaded Yan Tong, what could he do to him, and transfer Pang Xi's troops and horses to fight with him?

That's it, you can't lose a big one because of a small one, swallow this breath for the time being, hum, the coming day is long, let's see!

Wu Tao glanced at the prisoner car helplessly, and waved his hand angrily to lead people away.

Yan Tong in the prisoner car felt that the angry crowd around him seemed to gradually stop attacking him, and slightly moved the arm protecting his head and face to look out, only to see many soldiers in armor and halberds in front of him gathered in a circle, and several people in the center of the circle seemed to be arguing, and one of the old people standing tall waved his arm and shouted from time to time, and the crowd would immediately give a warm response.

Yan Tong sensed something and tried desperately to hear what they were saying, but he was deaf from the beating in one ear, and the other ear was covered with broken eggs, vegetable leaves, and mud, and now the dull humming sound could only be heard when the crowd shouted.

Yan Tong rushed forward desperately and hugged the log fence of the prisoner cart tightly, looking at those people with anticipation, even unaware of the sharp pain in the arrow wound in the abdomen.

The men seemed to hold on to what they saw, and after a while they parted unhappily, when an old man stood up and shouted a few words, and there was a disturbing buzz from the crowd.

This, isn't this Yan Yan's old horseman, what is he doing here?

The two people approached with murderous briskness, and Yan Tong saw clearly that the smiling faces of the two people were immediately as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they were cold, it was Gao Hong and Zhu Wen!

Yan Tong climbed back hard, and after being blocked by the fence of the prisoner car, he still kept kicking his legs and trying to get away from the two, but the sturdy log made him have to watch the two people who had been squeezed and suppressed by him open the wooden door and dragged him out by the hair.

With a tom sound, Yan Tong was slammed to the ground by Gao Hong, and before Yan Tong could recover from the severe pain, Zhu Wen stretched out his foot and stepped on his back fiercely, and then Yan Tong heard the unique sound of the ring knife slowly pulling out of the scabbard, Yan Tong desperately wanted to beg for mercy, but his swollen mouth could only make a vague whining sound.

"Poof!"

The last thing Yan Tong saw was the blinding sunlight and the cheering crowd and his own blood, and in the last moment of his life, his gaze fixed on a young face.

Is this the Liu Qi who caused him to end up like this?

Liu Qi likes the feeling of standing on a high place and letting the wind blow his robe, although it is a little cold now, Liu Qi is still happy to do it, but at this moment, because everyone is engrossed in watching Yan Tong who was beheaded, he can only enjoy it alone.

Although he didn't dare to see the scene of Yan Tong being beheaded, the tragic scene of the corpse being separated and blood splashing seven feet still appeared in his mind, and it was not until he heard his subordinates carry Yan Tong's head away in a wooden box that Liu Qi wiped the cold sweat on his head and turned his head.

Shouldn't you put a few talismans on the outside of the tent to ward off evil spirits?

Liu Qi secretly thought in his heart, you will die if you die, but don't come to entangle in the middle of the night, and provoke Lao Tzu to dig your ancestral grave!

may really be afraid that Liu Qi will be reincarnated obediently, and after that day, Yan Tong completely disappeared from Liu Qi's memory, and was replaced by Yan Tong's grandfather, Yan Zhan.

After beheading Yan Tong, Liu Qi immediately waved his army down the river, and soon approached Yufu County, and Wu Tao saw that the matter had come to this point, and he could only make mistakes, and also ordered the army to march, and it took only two days from the departure of Quren to the capture of Baiquan.

Liang Feng also replied to the message, promising to fully cooperate with Liu Qi to kill Yan Zhan and collect the fish, and the messenger by the way described Yan Zhan's reaction when he received Yan Tong's head to Liu Qi, and the viciousness of his words made Liu Qiqi's teeth itch, and it was really unreasonable to secretly hate that this old thief was not angry on the spot.

The Yan family once again realized the consequences of offending Liu Qi, Liu Qi brought those gangsters under Guan Zhao and asked them to play to their strengths of scolding the street, and made up more than ten versions of Yan Zhan's glorious deeds such as peeking at the woman taking a bath and being unclear with his daughter-in-law, tied them to feather arrows and shot them into the rebel camp, and became a sought-after commodity in the hands of the rebel officers and soldiers overnight.

Yan Tong, who had not been able to knock down the pain of losing his grandson, vomited blood and fainted on the spot, unconscious, and the backbone of the rebel army could no longer sit still, so he had to hand over most of the military power to Liang Feng, the only one who could compete with the official army.

Liu Qi was not in a hurry to launch an offensive, but just practiced the navy every day, and the sophisticated weapons and warships and tacit tactical coordination made the rebels feel powerless to fight against them, and the morale of the rebels became more and more depressed all day long, and there were more and more deserters.
