Chapter 456 Persuading the Bandit Army to Surrender

Liu Huan was taken aback: "What are you going out for?"

Liu Ye didn't turn his head back. He carried a knife in one hand and his head in the other. He went out and sat on the back of his horse. Then he turned around and said, "Zheng Bao still has thousands of bandits outside. Things will change later. Brother, take care of them. I'll go." Go and come back."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ye put his head and ring sword on his waist, waved his whip, and rode away.

But at this moment in Zheng Bao's barracks, Zheng Jing, who was ordered by Zheng Bao to stay behind in the camp, felt a little uneasy, walking back and forth in the camp, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Why haven't you come back?" Zheng Jing muttered.

"Second leader!" The guards rushed in suddenly, with a face full of panic.

Zheng Jing frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, you barged in without notifying, panicked, how decent?"

The soldier gasped for several breaths, and panicked: "Second leader, big leader, he."

Zheng Jing's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with my elder brother?"

"You, you'd better go and see for yourself, he's just outside." The soldier gasped.

"Could it be caught by someone else?" Zheng Jing frowned, hurriedly strode out, led dozens of soldiers to the wall of the village, and took a closer look.

"Zheng Jing!"

It was only seen that Liu Ye's clothes were covered with blood, especially the hem was seeped by Zheng Bao's blood. Liu Ye untied Zheng Bao's head from his waist, held it in his hand, and said loudly, "Here is Zheng Bao's head."

As soon as this statement came out, Zheng Bao's subordinates in the camp were shocked.

"What? The leader was killed by him?"

"Go out and avenge the leader!"

"The leader brought hundreds of people there, how is that possible?"

The voices of the soldiers under his command were disturbing, but Zheng Jing seemed to have never heard it, and his ears were buzzing.

Brother, was killed?

"quiet!"

Liu Ye yelled loudly, holding Zheng Bao's head in his hand, and said loudly: "The envoy of the imperial court has come, conveying the order of General Che Qi, secretly ordering Liu Ye to kill Zheng Bao!"

"But General Cheqi is kind, he only punishes the chief villain, and let the rest be spared!" Liu Ye said loudly: "Zheng Jing, if you are sensible, come down and surrender."

"No!" Zheng Bao's confidant grabbed Zheng Jing and said angrily: "Second boss! The big boss was killed by them, we have to avenge."

"That's right, revenge!"

Liu Ye's heart changed slightly. Although he killed Zheng Bao with great glory, he was single-handed after all. If the gate of the village was opened and thousands of people poured out, he, Liu Ye, would have to be hacked to pieces.

but

"Hahahahaha!" Liu Ye laughed loudly: "It's ridiculous! Let me tell you, Liu Cheqi is the humerus of the imperial court. He has long intended to calm down the world. He has ordered the general to ban Chen Bing 30,000 in Yuzhou. He will annex it immediately when the grain is harvested. Yuzhou, Yangzhou, do you want to compete with the emperor's army?"

When Liu Ye's words were released, everyone in Zheng Baoying immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

"Liu Cheqi has pacified the north and the south over the years. He has been invincible in dozens of battles, big and small. His subordinates are all masters of tigers and wolves. What are the thousands of us?"

"That's right, don't annoy Liu Cheqi."

"Second leader, didn't Liu Ziyang say that he only punishes the leader? Or should we surrender?" the soldiers said cautiously.

Only then did Zheng Jing react from the huge chaos, looked at the soldiers beside him who had no fighting spirit, and waved his hands helplessly: "Open the gate of the village, let's surrender!"

The gate of the village was opened, and Zheng Bao's soldiers came out slowly in two rows. Zheng Jing walked in the forefront, walked more than ten steps in front of Liu Ye, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Sinner Zheng Jing, please surrender."

Liu Ye nodded without changing his face, and threw the head out of his hand: "Although Zheng Bao committed a crime, but for the time being, you should take it for burial because of brotherhood."

"Thank you." Zheng Jing said painfully.

But Liu Ye said loudly: "You put down the weapons in your hands and don't act rashly. In the future, when the chariot general leads his troops to pacify Yangzhou, they will all be meritorious officials, you know?"

The clever soldiers in Zheng Bao's army immediately shouted: "Support the chariot general!"

"Long live the Son of Heaven!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Ye heaved a sigh of relief in satisfaction, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

His back was covered in cold sweat, and when the wind blew, Liu Ye shivered from the cold. You must know that Liu Ye was actually dancing on the wire rope just now, and if he was not careful, he would fall down and be smashed to pieces.

He beheaded Zheng Bao with his own hands, and Zheng Jing was Zheng Bao's brother. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. What if Zheng Jing was angry and ignored him, and directly opened the gate of the village to let thousands of soldiers come out? No matter how courageous he was, Liu Ye hadn't reached the point where he could be as powerful as a thousand. Even the invincible Overlord of Chu would kill more than a hundred people with all his might.

Fortunately, the bet won.

Liu Ye immediately reorganized the sergeants of Zheng Bao's army, and at the same time ordered Zheng Jing and Zheng Bao's cronies to go home and think about their mistakes behind closed doors, and arranged for his elder brother Liu Huan and Liu's cronies to take control of Zheng Bao's army.

As for Zhang Duo and Xu Gan, who were not as strong as Zheng Bao, they were threatened by Liu Ye and obediently offered up their troops. Suddenly, Liu Ye changed from a scribe to a man with five or six thousand people in his hands. A hero.

"Admiration, I really admire Brother Ziyang." Fazheng sighed: "Brother Ziyang is the only one who can subdue five thousand people with the power of one person."

Hearing this, Liu Ye smiled modestly: "What is this? Just like a chariot general, with thousands of soldiers defeating a million yellow scarves and a hundred thousand Qiang people, this is a true hero."

"That's right." Fazheng took out two emperor's edicts from his bosom: "General Chaqi ordered that brother Ziyang go to Jiangxia and Danyang before entering the imperial court."

Liu Ye laughed and said, "Could it be that the Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu and the little overlord Sun Ce passed on the order?"

Fazheng nodded: "Exactly."

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "The two tigers are fighting, it seems that Liu Cheqi is very dissatisfied with Sun Lang's quick determination of Jiangdong."

Fazheng said solemnly: "That's right, although Liu Cheqi's military power has shaken the country, but after all years of fighting and insufficient food and grass, Sun Ce can't let Sun Ce unscrupulously expand his power in Jiangdong."

"Okay." Liu Ye took over the two emperor's edicts from Fazheng: "In this case, I'll make a trip for the chariot general."

"That's right." Liu Ye said again: "Someone is not good at leading troops, please inform General Che Qi, and ask him to send another famous general to lead Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo and others' bandit army."

Fazheng nodded: "Brother Ziyang, don't worry, someone will understand."

After explaining everything, Liu Ye immediately set out for Danyang County with two edicts from the emperor, while Sun Ce was leading the troops to station in Kuaiji, and Zhou Yu was in charge of staying in Danyang County.
