Great Military Division

Chapter 447 Mutiny!

Yellow Turban Camp.

Central Army, big tent.

With his hands behind his back, Guan Hai waited for Sima Ju's arrival with an unconcealable joy on his face.

Not long after, the curtain was raised, and a man with a slightly slender figure entered the tent. Beside him, there was a man wearing a sage crown, and a burly man with a sword on his waist.

hiss-!
Surprised, Guan Hai couldn't help gasping, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly.

Originally, he wanted to take the initiative to meet Sima Ju and shake hands with him, but at this moment, he clearly felt an extremely strange atmosphere, which forced him not to take a step forward, let alone shake hands and talk.

"Brother Sima, these two are..."

Guan Hai frowned, his eyes flicked from Sima Ju, and then fell on the person behind him, hoping to get the answer he wanted from Sima Ju.

"Oh."

Sima Ju smiled lightly, and did not answer Guan Hai's question directly, but said casually: "It's just two friends, not outsiders, Brother Guan, don't worry."

Having said that, Guan Hai still felt a bad breath from the two of them, especially the fierce pawn who was holding the Huan Shou knife all the time, he was definitely a master, even he could clearly feel a pressure.

As for the man next to him wearing the Jinxian crown, he has a handsome face, his head held high, and he has an aura of arrogance, as if he stands out from the crowd, he is definitely not a member of the yellow scarf.

Sima Ju's friend?

Guan Hai didn't believe it, he was puzzled.

But
Since Sima Ju said so, Guan Hai had no choice but to accept it for the time being. He just gave Guan Cheng a wink, indicating that he must be careful and not be careless.

Guan Cheng naturally understood what Guan Hai meant, nodded silently to express his understanding, and immediately waited aside, watching the guy holding the Huan Shou knife closely, in case something unexpected happened.

Everyone sat down as guest and host, and after a short exchange of greetings, Guan Hai went straight to the topic and said, "I don't know what's the matter with Brother Sima's visit this time?"

"Oh."

Sima Ju responded, and immediately became solemn: "That's it. I think Brother Guan has already received the news that Xu Rong of Hanting in Nanyang is leading the army and marching towards Qingzhou along the Langya Corridor."

"Yes."

Guan Hai nodded, but he didn't hide anything: "Your Majesty has indeed received the news, and also heard that the Nanyang court has prepared a large amount of food and grass to accept our Qingzhou yellow scarves, and also prepared winter clothes and tents to ensure that we can survive the winter safely. "

"Oh, right."

Speaking of this, Guan Hai looked up at Sima Ju, and said softly: "I heard that Cao Cao has also prepared a large amount of food, winter clothes, and tents, and their team has already defeated Jinbei Prime Minister Ma Sheng. Very close."

"Brother Sima—!"

Guan Hai grinned, and said with great interest: "Could it be that you have become a general under General Cao's account, and you came to me on purpose to show off to me?"

"No way."

Sima Ju waved his hand and said softly: "Cao Cao has not yet entered Jinan, and I and Xu Qushuai are not prepared to submit to Nanyang Hanting and accept their arrangement."

hiss-!
Guan Hai was stunned for a moment, and he was very surprised: "Brother Sima is not going to accept the food and grass of Hanting in Nanyang? Then how will the hundreds of thousands of people under your command survive the winter? You can't let them all die in the middle of winter, right?"

"Of course not."

Sima Ju nodded with great certainty: "To be honest, I and Xu Qushuai are going to attack Cao Cao by surprise, grab all the food, winter clothes, and tents of his troops, and then take advantage of the situation to enter Yanzhou."

Boom!

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Guan Hai and Guan Cheng were stunned in place like thunder.

You know, the two originally thought that Sima Ju was here to discuss the matter of submitting to Nanyang Hanting, but they never thought that the other party not only did not intend to submit to Nanyang Hanting, but even planned to do something to Cao Cao?
"Brother Sima, aren't you joking with me, brother?"

Guan Hai tried his best to keep himself calm, staring at the other party with burning eyes.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Sima Ju immediately put away the joke on his face, and stared at Guan Hai solemnly.

quiet!
Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

There was no sound in the big tent, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

After a long time, the Jinxian crowned man next to Sima Ju broke the embarrassing situation: "Guan Qushuai is so wise and powerful, so he probably wants to submit to Nanyang Hanting?"

Guan Hai glanced past Sima Ju, landed on the man with the Jinxian crown, and said coldly: "Who are you? This general is talking to Brother Sima, what are you talking about?"

"you"

Sima Ju on the side was about to speak back, but was interrupted by the man Jinxian Guan: "Don't be angry, Sima Qushuai, this matter should have been discussed in the first place, and it is the best."

Sima Ju frowned, and glanced at the man Jinxianguan: "Since that's the case, there is Lao Guo's military advisor."

The Jinxian crowned man nodded his head, turned to look at Guan Hai, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm called Guo Tu, and I'm under Yuan Shao's command, Jizhou Mu."

"Yuan Shao?"

While Guan Hai was in a daze, he naturally understood everything.

Since Sima Ju was with Yuan Shao's people, he had naturally surrendered to Yuan Shao. No wonder he wanted to attack Cao Cao, and then took advantage of the situation to enter Yanzhou and become an enemy of Nanyang.

"Yes."

Guo Tu nodded affirmatively: "Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, is my lord. Now General Sima and General Xu have surrendered to my lord. We will assist them to defeat Cao Cao, and then take advantage of the situation to enter Yanzhou."

"At that time, whether it is food, winter clothes, tents, or even the whole of Yanzhou, it will belong to the two generals. General Sima will become the shepherd of Yanzhou, and General Xu will be the captain."

"If General Guan is also willing to submit to my lord, after defeating Xu Rong, the general will be Qingzhou Mu, and General Guan Cheng can take advantage of the situation to enter Langya and become the governor of Langya County."

"Isn't this better than Guishun Nanyang?"

Guo Tu spread his hands, asked a soul-level rhetorical question, and then added: "Of course, the general may not be very clear about Nanyang's system, so I feel that Nanyang is a peaceful and prosperous age for you."

"Is not it?"

In fact, Guan Hai really thought so.

After all, everyone has food to eat, and every family has fields. This is the peaceful and prosperous world described by the great virtuous teacher at the beginning, and it is the dream that the great virtuous teacher pursued all his life.

only.
The unrealized dream of the great virtuous teacher was realized by His Majesty Nanyang Emperor.

Guo Tu smiled and said softly: "General Guan, you have been deceived by the appearance of Nanyang Hanting. It is far less perfect than you imagined."

"Oh?"

Guan Hai asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Guo Tu explained: "Nanyang Hanting implements an internal examination system. If a general leads the army to surrender to Nanyang, the brothers under his command must accept the Nanyang Hanting's re-arrangement. Those who join the army join the army, and those who work in agriculture work in agriculture."

Guan Hai frowned: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Don't worry, general, just listen to me."

Guo Tu paused for a moment, then continued: "For the general, it is natural to join the army, but you need to accept the internal arrangements of Nanyang, they will break up all the brothers under the general's command and arrange them into different armies. "

"At the same time, there may be some young people under the general's command who have taken part in the exam. They are proficient in the art of war, good at strategy, and their martial arts are not bad."

"In future battles, the Nanyang court will give priority to promoting these people, while ignoring the generals and others. In the end, your patience will be worn away, and you will become completely low-level soldiers in the army."

"General!"

Guo Tu took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly: "Isn't the purpose of throwing our heads and blood on the battlefield just to get ahead, so we can worship generals and become marquises in the future?"

"But based on your background, in Nanyang Hanting, there is no bright future at all. The brothers under your command are just doing it themselves. They are just of ordinary background, and they only need to have land, but you may be willing to do it, general?"

At this moment, Sima Ju on the side echoed: "Master Guo is right. Brother Guan has to think carefully. Surrender is easy, but you have to find a good background. We can't work for a long time. There is no benefit at all. In the end A depressed person."

"This"

Speaking of this, Sima Ju shook his head and sighed lightly: "Isn't it a bit too unworthy?"

Guan Cheng immediately said: "Is my Qu Shuai a person who only cares about his own interests?"

"of course not."

Guo Tu immediately picked up the conversation, and said impassionedly: "I know the character of General Guan very well, but even if I don't take refuge in Nanyang, can't I guarantee the livelihood of my brothers?"

"Whether it is Cao Cao or Xu Rong, there is no defense against you now, and their troops are only 7 to [-]."

"That's right, Cao Cao is indeed more numerous, with 9 to 50 men, but Xu Rong, who is opposite to you, has less than [-] soldiers and horses, and you have a full [-] men. When the other party is unprepared, defeating them is simply impossible. It's as easy as pie."

"At that time, food, winter clothes, and tents will all be available, and the livelihood of the brothers under your command will naturally be solved, and you only need to guard the Langya Corridor to occupy Qingzhou."

"General Guan is the shepherd of Qingzhou, and there will be millions of fields to be cultivated in the coming year. Isn't this better than the bowls of the Hanting in Duannanyang? You are the real masters of the country, and you still have the opportunity to realize the peace and prosperity of great virtuous teachers .”

"This"

Guan Cheng was a little moved.

That's right.

As long as Xu Rong is defeated, there will be no problem with his livelihood this winter.

And once the Langya corridor is occupied, the entire Qingzhou will be in Guan Hai's pocket, and the hundreds of thousands of people under his command will also have enough land to cultivate.

As Guo Tu said, this is the real master of the country, rather than accepting the arrangement of Nanyang Hanting, who will inevitably divide the power of Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

"He's handsome, what do you think?"

Guan Cheng fell into hesitation, feeling that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Moreover, the actual benefits obtained by taking refuge in Nanyang Hanting are simply a little more than I don't know.

The most important thing is that the brothers don't have to separate because of the Nanyang Hanting's arrangement, which will blow up the Qingzhou Yellow Turban's sense of security.

At this moment, Sima Ju also echoed: "Brother Guan, this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, brother is thinking of you, so I came here to tell you, when I occupy Yanzhou and you occupy Qingzhou, we will have hundreds of thousands of troops. Enemy with Nanyang?"

"and!"

Speaking of this, Sima Ju emphasized: "General Yuan has already contacted Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao. Once next spring, they will attack Nanyang from the south and contain Nanyang's soldiers and horses. We will occupy Yanzhou and Qingzhou separately. Safety."

"what?"

Guan Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Even Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao are going to attack Nanyang? Aren't they the clan of the Han Dynasty?"

Guo Tu likes this kind of Xiaobai who doesn't understand anything, and immediately explained: "What about the clan of the Han family? His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang has offended everyone. I don't know how many noble families are planning to attack him."

"In the past two years, although the rumors of the Hanting in Nanyang have been strong, they are at the end of their strength. Once Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao launch an attack on Nanyang, then the powerful families in Nanyang will inevitably rise up and sweep the world with the momentum of a single spark. "

Guan Cheng was stunned: "Really?"

Guo Tu nodded affirmatively: "Of course, how can I lie in front of General Guan?"

Guan Cheng frowned: "Shuai Qu, what should we do?"

Although there are many yellow turbans, most of them are from peasant backgrounds and have never seen the big world. They even heard a lot of news and names today for the first time. Some trepidation.

But
Guan Hai is no ordinary yellow scarf.

From the very beginning, he was Qu Shuai of the Yellow Turban, and he worked for seven or eight years. He has experienced far more things than Guo Tu imagined, and he is not so easy to fool.

At this moment, he frowned, and kept thinking in his mind: "Brother Sima, this is a big matter, can you give it some time to think about it next time, if you think it through clearly, we will give you the answer."

"I don't know how important this matter is."

"but."

Sima Ju was obviously not prepared to give in, and said softly: "Now Xu Rong has almost passed the Langya Corridor, and he may come to Beihai in a short time. If we don't make a decision now, it may be too late to deploy."

"You are handsome Qu. In the army, you have always kept your promises. These people all obey your orders. As long as you think clearly, they will definitely follow."

"Not as good."

Speaking of this, Sima Ju couldn't wait any longer: "Just think about it now, we'll just wait here. After making a decision, we'll start deploying immediately, and the winning rate will be higher. Xu Rong is not an easy guy to deal with."

"Did you see it!"

Sima Ju turned his head to glance at the guard with the knife, and said softly: "This is Yan Liang, General Yuan's general. He was originally from Langya. If you agree, he will assist you."

Guan Hai obviously sensed something was wrong, his gaze swept over the three of them, and said coldly: "Brother Sima, this matter involves the lives of 10 people in my department after all, are you going to force me like this?"

"What do you mean by Brother Guan?"

Sima Ju naturally refused to admit the coercion, and said softly: "The decision is always in your hands."

Guan Hai glanced at Guo Tu and Yan Liang: "Hmph! In my hands? Then what if I don't agree?"

Sima Ju's expression changed suddenly, and anger rushed into his throat: "Brother Guan, don't be ignorant, I'm thinking about you, so I'm giving you this chance, is it possible that you want to go to Nanyang and be a pawn for others?" A soldier?"

Guan Hai raised his head and looked down at Sima Ju: "I only know that the food, winter clothes, and tents brought to us by Nanyang Hanting are our saviors, and Yuan Shao's soldiers are not abandoned, so I have to count 10 people to work for him. .”

"Humph!"

With an angry snort, Guan Hai gritted his steel teeth, and the last sentence was almost squeezed out: "I tell you Sima Ju, you can let the brothers under your command be Yuan Shao's dogs for your own self-interest, but I don't care. Hai will never be like this!"

"you"

Sima Ju was furious, raised his finger to Guan Hai, and was about to speak angrily, but was interrupted by Guo Tu directly: "General Guan, have you really made a decision?"

Guan Hai's eyes widened angrily: "Naturally!"

Guo Tu turned his head and glanced at Guan Cheng: "What about you? Are you willing to serve as a soldier in Nanyang and remain unknown for the rest of your life?"

"I?"

Guan Cheng frowned, hesitantly: "I, this."

Guo Tu naturally understood the other party's concerns, and immediately raised his finger to Guan Hai: "General Guan, if you kill this person, this team will definitely obey your orders, and then the big thing will be done, and you will be Qingzhou Mu."

"what?"

Guan Cheng was stunned: "How can I do anything to Qu Shuai? No, absolutely not."

Guan Hai seemed to have expected this to happen, without the slightest shock: "Hmph! You guys are ready to kill people, right? That guy named Yan Liang didn't come to help us at all, but came to kill me, right?"

"Humph!"

Sima Ju snorted coldly, and simply stopped hiding it: "You are half right, General Yan Liang is indeed here to help you, but the premise is that you agree to submit to General Yuan."

"And if you don't agree, then I can only kill you, and then lead the brothers from Beihai to fight Xu Rong in person, so as to stabilize Qingzhou."

"Brother Guan!"

Sima Ju let out a long breath, and said in a cold voice: "It's not my brother, I didn't give you a chance. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. You didn't cherish the opportunity!"

"General Yan Liang, kill him."

After saying that, Sima Ju waved his hand and shouted in a cold voice.

In the next moment, Yan Liang strode past Sima Ju, and in a flash, he rushed straight to Guan Hai in front, and quickly pulled out the Huan Shou Saber in his palm, drawing a gloomy awn in the air.

However.
Guan Hai is also not a vegetarian.

He is a veteran in the battlefield, he fought step by step, and at the moment when the two sides confronted each other, he swooped and directly came to the place where the sword was hung next to him.

Clang!

The sword edge was unsheathed, and the cold light flickered.

The long sword in Guan Hai's palm drew a cold light from bottom to top, facing Yan Liang's falling blade, he slammed it head-to-head, making a crisp clang, and thousands of sparks flashed out.

In the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Hai is naturally a fierce general who can be defeated by thousands of people. He is also very confident that he can compete with Yan Liang, but when the two sides fight against each other, Guan Hai suddenly feels something is wrong.

At this moment, there is a strong force, along the long sword, along the arm, rushing into his body like the waves of the Yellow River, constantly impacting his internal organs.

Guan Hai only felt that what he was holding on his long sword was not the Huan Shou Dao, but a small mountain. The thick and continuous force was overwhelming him and he couldn't breathe.

Only one knife!

Guan Hai knew that he was not his opponent.

"Ho!"

Guan Hai gritted his teeth and roared, his two thick and powerful arms seemed to be broken by the shock, his body felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his internal organs couldn't help churning, and his throat felt sweet.

However.
This is not finished.

Taking advantage of this blink of an eye, Yan Liang slashed his sword across the head, and made his next move like thunder, aiming at Guan Hai's tiger's mouth, and immediately slashed across it. Once he succeeded, Guan Hai would either die or be injured.

"drink!"

Guan Haidun didn't feel well, so he let out a shout immediately, and with all his strength, knocked off Yan Liang's blade, then he flew back a few steps, slashed towards the tent, and made a gesture to rush out.

It's a pity that Yan Liang's reaction was extremely quick, and he immediately followed up with a stride, and the Huan head knife in his palm slashed down in the air, immediately cutting off Guan Hai's escape route, and then cut across the Cangshan Mountain with a move, and the blade directly rushed towards Guan Hai's neck.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded impressively.

Yan Liang's blade stopped suddenly less than an inch away from Guan Hai's neck, and glanced back, but Guan Cheng stopped him hoarsely: "He is my commander-in-chief, even if he wants to kill him, I should kill him."

Yan Liang glanced at Guo Tu, as if he was waiting for Guo Tu's order.

However, Guan Cheng spoke again at this moment: "If you kill Qu Shuai, I won't live alone. At that time, you may not be able to control this team. You must know that we have followed Qu Shuai for seven years!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Guo Tu tentatively asked: "Could it be that you want to join us?"

Guan Cheng let out a long breath and nodded: "Yes, I can rely on you, but there is a condition, let me kill Guan Hai with my own hands, and then bury him with my own hands, which can be regarded as the full of feelings for so many years."

"Oh, it's interesting."

Guo Tu smiled lightly and stared at Guan Cheng in disbelief.

"He's handsome, I'm sorry."

With tears in Guan Cheng's eyes, he nodded towards Guan Hai: "I don't want to submit to Nanyang Hanting as a pawn. I want to be Qingzhou shepherd, truly be the master of the house and control my own destiny."

"you"

Even at this moment, Guan Hai didn't know what to say.

Guan Cheng stepped forward, let out a clang, and drew his sword out of its sheath: "Shuai Qu, I've been with you for so many years. Although we are not brothers, we are better than brothers. I used to listen to you in everything, but this time, I can't." !"

"forgive me!"

Speaking of this, Guan Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.

puff!
The long sword stabbed fiercely, aimed at Guan Hai's heart, and pierced it directly.

Guan Hai stared with disbelief on his face, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his lips: "A Cheng, you...you actually..."

Pfft!
In the next second, Guan Hai fell to the ground on his back.

Yan Liang watched helplessly as the sword pierced through his heart. It was impossible to live with such a depth.

Only then did he put away the Huanshou knife, and nodded towards Guo Tu, implying that there was no problem.

Guo Tu smiled lightly, stepped forward, and said softly: "General Guan Cheng, congratulations, as long as we defeat Xu Rong and defend Langya County, then you will be Qingzhou Mu, and you can truly control your own destiny."

Guan Cheng didn't raise his head, tears still streaming down his face: "Let's not talk about this first, I'm going to hide Qu Shuai with my own hands, and then give an explanation to my brothers, otherwise it will be difficult to really control this team."

Guo Tu nodded: "Okay, yes!"
