Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2558 The strategy of strengthening the troops and horses

I have to say that Lu Hong’s voice is quite good. Even when he is timid, he can still resound throughout the valley.

　　　　Everybody stop it! Captain Wang slowly walked up from behind. He originally didn't want to show up, but now it seems that there is an additional possibility, so it seems that it can be discussed.

Lu Hong's entire queue was surrounded. Whether to kill or to stay was a matter of one sentence, so stopping temporarily was not a big problem.

A few soldiers from Zhongmou were chirping at the back, triumphantly saying, "These so-called elites in the school are too easy to beat and can't even be hit. How can they be just one of a hundred? They're just bragging!" 』

　　　That’s right, I think we can just finish it all, so we won’t have to worry about it! 』

The soldiers in Zhongmu thought that Lu Hong's men were elites, but in fact they were just dressed like elites. Most of them were just wanderers recruited by Lu Hong. They relied on their youth, arrogance and arrogance to create an elite shell. It was easily pierced.

The remaining dozen of Lu Hong's men held up knives and guns with trembling hands, and some couldn't help but leak urine, which fell to the ground in drops, mixing with the smell of blood.

Captain Wang stood forward, his eyes like an awl, scanning around one by one, and then fell on Lu Hong.

Lu Hong stood in the middle, holding his hands tightly, pulling his neck and shouting: "Killing is easy, but the aftermath will be troublesome!" If only I come forward, others will follow! How many can you kill? The bigger things get, the more troublesome they become! When the time comes, I won’t be able to cover it up even if I want to! 』

Lu Hong’s words hit Captain Wang’s heart.

 This is indeed the truth.

The most fundamental reason for taking action this time was because Lu Hong arrived suddenly without any advance notice, so there was no way to make adequate preparations.

As long as you say hello in advance, even if you want to check out the nook and cranny of the roadside stalls, they will be filled with goods, so what is there to be afraid of? Dirty and smelly drains can become clear if given enough time!

 Simply put, there is no problem with inspections. What is problematic is inspections without greetings.

If you have time to prepare, what inspection will you still be afraid of? If we start now, it's not a sudden attack caused by Lu Hong who rushes here non-stop. Otherwise, why would there be a sword-and-gun confrontation?

 Killing the inspector is a last resort.

Who doesn’t know that killing the inspector will cause even greater trouble?

 But no matter how big the trouble is, it will only happen after killing him. In the Han Dynasty when information was not smooth, there were too many missing people, and Lu Hong and others were traveling across provinces, bah, across counties and counties. Don’t we need to go through procedures for various writings and so on?

 This back and forth can delay it for at least half a year! After more than half a year, I can find some buffer, at least it will be better than having my cover exposed right now!

"fart! Killing you is like squeezing a bed bug! 』

　　　　　Look at your bear-like appearance, are you still trying to threaten us? ! 』

The surrounding soldiers with swords and guns raised laughed and were not moved by Lu Hong's words. They even began to laugh at Lu Hong and continued to press forward while shaking their swords and guns.

Lu Hong didn't look at the soldiers, but just stared at Colonel Wang, because Lu Hong knew that Captain Wang was the core figure. If the soldiers couldn't understand, they couldn't understand. There was no reason why Captain Wang couldn't understand.

Sure enough, Lieutenant Wang stopped his men, then stared at Lu Hong and gestured in front of him, "Don't you want to talk?" Come out and talk! 』

Lu Hong gritted his teeth, pushed away his men, stood up, and then controlled his body not to tremble, and walked to Colonel Wang, "You are in for a big disaster!" 』

 Wang Xiaowei laughed.

 The soldiers around him also laughed.

It's all about his mother's sword licking blood. Isn't that a big disaster coming that day?

　　　"Listen to what I have to say. If what I say is wrong, you can just chop me to death with a knife!" ” After Lu Hong said a few words, his breath gradually became calmer. Lu Hong knew that it was impossible to make Captain Wang stop with just such a sentence. He had to come up with a more reasonable strategy that was more in line with the interests of Captain Wang and others in order to save his own life.

Captain Wang glanced at Lu Hong sideways and was silent for a while, "Okay, you say it." 』

"Me too! He was the scapegoat pushed out by the people above! Lu Hong stared at Captain Wang, "I'm dead. I just died a step early, but things are irreversible!" I am an inspector, no matter if I am missing or dead, someone will always be responsible! Your surname is definitely neither Ren nor Pan, right? My surname is neither Cao nor Xiahou! So if you and I die, it actually has nothing to do with the people above! Even if you kill me, nothing will change. If you can defeat these people under my command, is it possible that you can also defeat an inspector? Can he still defeat thousands of Cao's troops? ! I don’t want to be a scapegoat, and I believe you don’t want to either, so we, you and I, can talk..."

After Lu Hong finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Colonel Wang stared at Lu Hong so hard that Lu Hong felt a little hairy, as if he was going to chop him with a knife at the next moment. After a moment, Lieutenant Wang nodded slightly and said, "Continue." 』

　　　If Cao’s soldiers were vulnerable to a single blow, General Yuan’s legacy would not have collapsed and he would have died on the battlefield. Lu Hong said, "You should also understand this, right?" 』

“Yuan Benchu ​​didn’t die on the battlefield...but, it doesn’t matter...you continue. Captain Wang didn't want to worry about Yuan Shao's issue, and he found that what Lu Hong said seemed to be interesting.

Lu Hong nodded and said, "You were able to ambush me not because of what you did, but because of me. Well, I'm not important either. What's important is that the people above think you are friendly forces... Do you understand this?" 』

Captain Wang's eyes rolled and the corners of his mouth twitched. It was obvious that Lu Hong had touched on some important points.

That's right, no one expected that Colonel Wang would dare to do it directly...

Of course, this is not to say that Wang Xiaowei should be weak and incompetent, but this kind of thing was done by big guys before, such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but now a mere school captain, or a small Zhongmu Dare to do this, it is indeed a bit unexpected.

 What should this be?

 Rituals and music collapsed?

 Perhaps.

　　　　There is no hatred between you and me, is there? You and I are loyal to the great man and the prime minister. You must understand this too! So I died. In order for people to continue to be loyal to the Han and the Prime Minister, there must be an explanation! Lu Hong stared at Colonel Wang and said, "And this explanation, whether true or false, must always be given." 』

Colonel Wang sneered, "You mean...this is what I told you?" 』

Lu Hong also smiled, "I don't know. Anyway, if I die, I will definitely not be the one to decide this matter..."

Colonel Wang's expression moved slightly, and then he said, "Keep talking." 』

"The big man needs an explanation, and the prime minister also needs an explanation. As for what to explain, it may not be that important. The important thing is to have this explanation..." Lu Hong emphasized, "If I die, you won't be able to look back. Who knows?" Sent me? It's Xun Lingjun! You can hide it from me, but can you hide it from him? Only if you stay with me can I help you..."

 Wang Xiaowei glanced at Lu Hong.

Well, the decision has changed from whether to kill or not to whether to help or not. I have to say that Lu Hong’s oral skills are also pretty good.

 But Lu Hong did get to the point.

Lu Hong told a fact.

 An undeniable fact.

The fact is that Wang Xiaowei and Lu Hong are actually in the same framework. Because they are "friendly forces", Wang Xiaowei and others won. However, if they were "enemies" at the beginning, Wang Xiaowei and others may not be able to win. Win, at least winning won't be as easy as it is now.

At the same time, Lu Hong also made it clear that if people like Xiaowei Wang really dared to break out of Cao Cao's framework and raise the flag of rebellion, then the gang that had finally been united based on interests would collapse in an instant.

 Wang Xiaowei pondered.

　　Yes, his original plan was to chop everyone into pieces, bury them, and treat them as missing. No matter whether they were alive or dead or their bodies were not seen, they could be left alone for a while.

 Why did Colonel Wang have to chop up Lu Hong, the inspector?

Because as Lu Hong said, if any problem is found in Zhongmou, then the unlucky ones must be himself, the captain of Zhongmou, Wang Hai, who is in charge of the thief Cao's family, Cao, etc.!

 This is "the responsibility is unshirkable"!

 Okay, that’s not what “unshirkable responsibility” means, but isn’t it rare that the original meaning from above is tampered with from below?

 Wang Hai, Wang Xiaowei, is the first person responsible.

As for the others, those who sit on Wang Hai's head, no matter how serious the situation is, can use a "non-person" to shirk responsibility. Generally, they will not die. At most, they will be removed from office. After a while, After that, when the situation calms down, you can resume your official position, or you can go to another place to start a new life, er, become an official.

 Only he, Wang Hai, has no room for evasion. If something happens, he will definitely die.

 There is no leeway. When faced with urgency, you can only jump over the wall in a hurry.

 And Lu Hong’s few words seem to have left some room again.

Then let’s stop dancing for now?

"You are here to check on us..." Captain Wang pointed with his blood-stained sword and said, "How can you help us?" 』

 See, this knife is stained with blood.

　　‘No, not only to help you, but also to help myself. Lu Hong said in a deep voice, "We can make a deal..."

Colonel Wang looked at Lu Hong.

Lu Hong also looked at Colonel Wang.

Captain Wang shook his head, "I heard that you didn't like money before... so I couldn't believe you..." "Well... I think I can like it now..." Lu Hong said.

 Colonel Wang was still shaking his head.

　　　Then how can you believe it? Lu Hong said.

Colonel Wang’s eyes fell on the **** hilt of the knife.

Lu Hong was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, I can't do this..."

Colonel Wang laughed, and then handed over the sword, "Hahaha, now I kind of believe it... Come on... Come on..."

Lu Hong waved his hands.

Lu Hong knew that once he really did this, even if he retracted his confession in the future, even if he survived, he would not be able to escape being exiled or dismissed. Even if everyone else knows that Lu Hong did it under coercion, who else would like to stay with a guy who is afraid of death and may attack his own people at any time just to survive?

So as long as Lu Hong did it, it would be regarded as yellow mud falling inside his crotch, which is either feces or feces. Even if he has a hundred mouths, it would be difficult to explain it.

"Come! If you do it, I'll give you a share of the money! ” Wang Hai said in a deep voice.

Lu Hong said: "I don't want money!" 』

Wang Hai widened his eyes and said, "How can you become an official without money?" 』

　　　… Lu Hong suddenly seemed to be struck by something and stood still for a long time.

Being afraid of death does not mean you are greedy for money. Just like corrupt officials and honest officials have little to do with whether they can do things, honest officials will also mess up a good thing.

Contradiction, right?

 No contradiction!

 ‘Stop **** around and tell me whether you want to do it or not! ” Wang Hai was a little impatient.

 When the knife was raised again and touched the front of Lu Hong's chest and abdomen, Lu Hong sighed.

Lu Hong figured it out, if he just acts as a dog, then maybe he can be a Mission Impossible or something, but that means he will always be a dog...

 If you want to be an official, a dog cannot do it.

I have only heard that if the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked.

 But I haven’t heard of anyone having to cook the official if there is no prey.

 After all, officials can change places...

 Being a dog, or being a human, no, being an official, Lu Hong had his own choice.

 …(＾－＾)V(ㄒoㄒ)~~…

　　『If you want to do it, do it to the end! Wang Hai happily patted Lu Hong on the shoulder, as if he were two good brothers, completely ignoring Lu Hong's mournful face, "Don't worry, all of your men died gloriously when the thieves attacked the camp tonight. I testify! There will be compassionate allowances at that time! It won't hinder your reputation! 』

 ‘Don’t get so frustrated, this is a good thing! Think about it... When the time comes, Zhongmou will give you a subsidy, and you will apply for one yourself. It is up to you to decide how much to give to them..." Wang Hai took Lu Hong and sat down in the large tent of the bandit suppression camp. "This In the world, no matter what you do, you need money... When you have money, you will have new subordinates, and then when you have money, you can also pay filial piety to your boss, your boss will like you more, you can be promoted, and then you will have Opportunities to make more money... So, money is important! 』

Lu Hong was still a little frustrated, "But I think life is more important. Isn't it miserable if I have money but no life to spend?" 』

　　　屮! It’s even worse to have life but no money! ” Wang Hai sighed.

Lu Hong was startled for a moment.

 So it seems to make sense?

　　　"This is a first time for everyone." It does hurt a little the first time," Wang Hai said carelessly, "Just get used to it and think about something fun, okay? 』

Lu Hong said: "How many times have you done this?" 』

Wang Hai glared and said, "It's not you, it's us!" 』

 Lu Hong said: "This will cause problems... You see there is a problem now, I am here... Who is above you?" Your surname is Pan? No, if there were only people named Pan, you wouldn’t be so bold..."

Wang Hai touched his head and frowned, "Tsk...I regret keeping you..."

“No,” Lu Hong waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about this... After knowing this, I feel that my choice seems to be the right one...”

"oh? Feeling good now? ” Wang Hai burst out laughing.

"That's a little bit," Lu Hong nodded, "but if something happens, we, I mean you and me, will still be thrown out as scapegoats... Do you feel like this?" 』

Wang Hai stopped smiling. The deep nasolabial wrinkles on his face looked like he had been slashed with a knife. "What... do you mean?" 』

Lu Hong said: "I mean... you and I are still too weak and too young now... What do you think?" Why not take advantage of this opportunity...』

"Shut up! Wang Haiteng stood up immediately, then walked twice inside the tent with his hands behind his back, then rushed to the curtain of the tent and said, "Twenty steps away from the tent!" No orders from me! No one will come close! 』

 The guards outside the big tent responded and walked out.

Wang Hai put down the door curtain and turned to glare at Lu Hong, "You are so bold!" 』

Lu Hong waved his hand, "I'm not very courageous. Really, I didn't realize until I got here that I'm really not very courageous..."

Wang Hai stared at Lu Hong, and after a moment he suddenly laughed, "Haha, haha, I suddenly realized that you are completely different from before...what can I say?" 』

Lu Hong frowned, "That's called a huge gap, and the back gap is...forget it, that's not important. I mean, do you really think about what I just said?" 』

 Sometimes, once a person is brave enough, his mind will open up. This was the case for Lu Hong. He had no way out, so he could only find a way forward. As long as he could reach the top of the mountain, who would care whether he climbed up from the front mountain or from the back ditch?

Wang Hai sat down again and said, "Say. 』

"If my guess is correct, your original plan was to kill me first and delay the exposure time... Then you can take advantage of this period of time to transfer money..." Lu Hong pointed to the west, "If that doesn't work, Something is wrong, that is... fleeing somewhere else? After all, money is money wherever it goes and can be spent, right? 』

Wang Hai was silent, neither saying yes nor no.

 Lu Hong smiled and said, "Then why, I have been thinking about this just now... why do we have to work so hard that we only get leftovers if we do well, and we have to take responsibility for everything we do wrong?" No, don’t get excited... I know you may want to say that they have more people, more money, and so on... I mean, if we can do the same as them... then..."

Wang Hai was stunned.

“I am loyal to the Han, loyal to the emperor, and loyal to the prime minister. I am dedicated to the country with passion and ambition,” Lu Hong said word by word. “Why should I be worse than them?” You say, why? 』

“…” Wang Hai was silent for a moment, leaning forward a little, “Tell me more details. 』

"I'm here to check for spies. You need spies to be promoted..." Lu Hong pointed at himself, and then pointed at Wang Hai, "You are the leader of the army. You need thieves to have meritorious service..."

"So the first step is that I need spies and you need thieves..." Lu Hong's voice became lower and lower, "Then we need soldiers and horses. Only with strong soldiers and horses can we have the authority to speak..."

Wang Hai nodded.

 Whether you want to be a person or plan a job, you need a development outline and clear goals.

Wang Hai did not have these before, but now Lu Hong has brought him some small strategies that can strengthen his troops and horses.

　　　　For the big man! Lu Hong said in a deep voice and stretched out his hand.

　　　　For the big man! ” Wang Hai repeated, reaching out his hand and shaking it with Lu Hong.

　　　　For the Emperor! For the Prime Minister! 』

　　　　For the Emperor! For the Prime Minister! 』

They looked at each other and laughed, slapping each other and holding each other's arms. If you didn't know that the two of them had met each other before, you would have thought that the two of them had such a good relationship that they were as close as brothers...
