Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 141 I will be back
With a ferocious face, Lei Gong slammed the sledgehammer at Liu He, imagining the scene where he would be blown away and vomit blood the next moment.

bang——

Amidst the loud noise, Liu He held his hammer with a horizontal gun, and a cloud of sparks flew up.

Lei Gong's face changed drastically, a huge counter-shock force came from both arms, his tiger's mouth was sore, and he couldn't hold it anymore, the sledgehammer flew out of his hand.

The gun in Liu He's hand was slightly bent before it bounced back. He then swung the steel gun and took advantage of Lei Gong's instability to hit him with his backhand.

Lei Gong dodged in a hurry, but he was shot in his left arm, and he cried out in pain. He dropped his weapon and turned around in a panic, but Liu He's horse was fast and stopped in front of him.

Without waiting for Lei Gong to react, the big gun swept over and slammed down. Lei Gong flew up from the horse's back with a miserable howl, landed on the ground with a plop, and rolled several times.

Before he could struggle to get up, soldiers rushed up, pointed their swords at him, and tied him up.

"Eight Great King Kong, that's it?" Liu He urged his horse to come closer, looked down at Lei Gong covered in dirt, and smiled coldly.

At this time, every exit in the city was guarded, the bandit army was so smoky that they had no power to resist, and those who escaped in panic were all captured by the officers and soldiers, and they fell to their knees in all directions, wailing incessantly.

Liu He got off his horse and approached him, and asked, "You are also from the common people, but you become bandits, and you come to rob houses and kill the people, how can you bear it?"

"Bah!" Lei Gong spat bitterly, and cursed: "We hid in the mountains, and we were all killed by you dog officials?"

Liu He frowned slightly, and sighed: "The corruption of the imperial court is caused by the eunuchs, but there are also upright and honest people. Now the people in Youzhou are happy, and the corvees and taxes are light. Are you willing to surrender?"

Lei Gong sneered, and said: "I, Lei Gong, is a good man in the way. Who doesn't know the name of the Eight Great King Kongs of Heishan? Our brothers work together, there is no reason to surrender, if you want to kill, kill, why bother?"

"Unexpectedly, there is still some backbone!" Liu He smiled lightly, pressed the hilt of his sword and said coldly: "Okay, I will help you."

After saying that, he drew out the sword with a clang, and slashed at Lei Gong's neck.

Lei Gong trembled all over, unconsciously closed his eyes, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

After a long time, there was no movement, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw the blade of the sword in front of him, emitting a dazzling cold light in the morning sun.

"Hahaha, since you're not afraid of death, why bother to sweat?" Liu He laughed loudly, put away his sword, "I don't want you to surrender either, I'll let you go after I ask you a few questions."

"Really?" Lei Gong stared at Liu He, the brilliance in his eyes reappeared, he was naturally unwilling to die if he had a chance to live.

Liu He asked: "First tell me who are your Eight King Kongs?"

"There are Yu Du, Mu Gu, Bai Rao, Zuo Miao Wen Ba, Qing Niu Jiao, Li Damu, Yuan Cheng, and me—" Lei Gong said proudly: "The eight of us followed General Zhang to Taihang Mountain to start a business and created this piece of foundation. , how can you just say surrender?"

Liu He heard that the Eight Great Vajras were all unknown people, so Yu Du and Mu Gu had some reputations. Later, they stayed with Yuan Shao for a long time in the territory of Changshan. It is also relying on the deep mountains and deep ditch to deal with Yuan Shaojun.

Hearing Lei Gong's impassioned speech, Liu He couldn't help laughing, and said: "Even you can't even eat and drink, and you are still thinking about your foundation here, it's a big joke."

Lei Gong asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Why did Zhang Niujiao go to Changshan? Do you think this Marquis doesn't know? Liu He smiled lightly without explaining, and asked again: "Clarify the deployment of the various ministries in Montenegro, and then let you go. "

"Black Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, so what if I tell you?" Lei Gong didn't care, and sneered, "There are more than 30 hills in this mountain. Our brothers are here. General Zhang is at Heihu Peak. If you have the ability, come and get it." .”

Liu He frowned slightly, the bandits were scattered everywhere, and it was definitely not the best strategy to go into the mountains to clear them up. After thinking for a while, he said: "This Marquis will let you go back, and you explain to Zhang Niujiao that as long as he is willing to lead the people to surrender, this Marquis can do it." Please pardon your crimes, everyone in the Black Mountain Army can enter Youzhou and resettle in Zhuojun and Fanyang."

"Hmph, daydreaming!" Lei Gong sneered, "We have a hundred thousand brothers, how happy we are to be king, why should we be oppressed by the government?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find food when you're hungry." Liu He didn't argue with him, but said: "You can find out how the refugees in Zhuo County are resettled. Now my father governs Youzhou and the government is lenient." Aimin, you just need to tell Zhang Niujiao, as long as he still has some ambitions, he will make a wise choice."

The soldier let go of Lei Gong, he stood up and said, "Liu He, although you won't kill me today, remember, I want to avenge my brothers, and I will come back again!"

Liu He smiled and said, "Welcome back!"

He ordered Lei Gong and a dozen of his followers to be let go, and the rest of the bandit army were all detained. These people could not be sent back to Montenegro.

The fire in the camp burned all morning, and black smoke continued to rise at noon, so the soldiers had to rest and cook outside the camp temporarily, and gave a share to the captured bandits. Everyone was very grateful, and it would be much easier to persuade them to surrender. up.

Then Zhang Fei sent someone to report that Tang County had been captured with Qu Yi. Liu He immediately ordered the whole army to march to Tang County, and then send the prisoners to Fan Yang after arriving there.

It turned out that after Qu Yi burned the food and grass of the bandit army last night, he immediately rushed to Tang County overnight, and sent someone to pretend to be a bandit army to report to Zhang Baiqi for help. Take the opportunity to take the city.

When Zhang Baiqi arrived at Qiaoling, Lei Gong had already led his troops down the mountain. Zhang Fei led Yan Yunqi up the mountain from the back of the bandit army, and was intercepting Zhang Baiqi's troops. The two armies fought, and Zhang Baiqi saw that the situation was not good. , Hastily fled to Tang County.

Zhang Fei led the troops to chase him down. Outside Tang County, Zhang Baiqi had nowhere to go. He wanted to ask for surrender, but Zhang Fei angrily denounced him as a scum of the Zhang family.

The officers and soldiers set off from the stronghold, crossed the steep mountains smoothly, and rushed to Tang County that night. Liu He ordered the whole army to rest and set aside half of the property looted by the bandits to reward the three armies.

At the celebration banquet, Zhang Fei offered a cup to Qu Yi in person, and said: "The strong Qu Yi has made great contributions in this battle, why don't you join us in following the king and accomplishing great things together?"

Qu Yi immediately left the table and bowed down, cupping his fists and said: "From now on, Qu Yi is willing to listen to the order of the prince."

Liu He was overjoyed, and hurried forward to help Qu Yi, and said with a smile: "I know you are quite capable of dealing with the Qiang people. In the future, you can train an army to deal with the Hu cavalry outside the Great Wall. From then on, the border will be worry-free!"

Qu Yi looked excited, cupped his fists and said: "This subordinate will definitely go all out."

In fact, Liu He asked Qu Yi to train the army first to deal with all the cavalry, but it is not yet time for the princes to separate themselves, so it is most appropriate to target the Hu people.

Qu Yi was killed by Yuan Shao because of his arrogance in history. As long as this kind of person is controlled properly and someone can suppress him, he will obediently obey orders. Now about Zhang and others, how can he have the capital of arrogance?
