Shenkeng system

Chapter 38
He Sanhuai no longer intends to probe into Zhao Si's bottom, because he feels that he is facing an abyss, the depth is bottomless, and there is no way to probe!
The ghost knows what Zhao Si is thinking in his heart!

He just wants to know what Zhao Si plans to do next.

Now that there is such a commotion, the 500 people in Qinglong Mountain are basically wiped out, and there are more than 200 people left, and almost everyone is injured. As for Wang Lun in Liangshan, after this thunderstorm, everything about Wang Lun was shattered. Fantasies and plans, according to Wang Lun's temperament, must have murderous intentions towards Zhao Si and He Sanhuai, and they can't go back!And out of these eight hundred miles of water, the world is so big, there is no Song Dynasty soldiers and horses anywhere, this time they hurt them, how can they let them go easily...

"Okay, I admit that you are powerful, the mast and scull were wiped out while talking and laughing, but now we have lost all our people, we are afraid that we will not be able to go up this Liangshan Mountain, what can we do?" He Sanhuai asked.

"Now that we have the prestige of a great victory, of course we want to take advantage of the situation to wedge into Liangshan, but we can no longer be disrupted by Wang Datou's flower arrangement! My younger brother thinks that now we are going up the mountain with a strong force, instead of going to the Juyi Hall, we will occupy the Liantai Temple. As our stronghold... oh, by the way, where is the third family now?" Zhao Si asked.

"Sister Sister! Of course she won't stay on the mountain! My five hundred brothers are fighting the enemy bravely at the foot of the mountain. How can she stay idle? Of course, she is fighting with the brothers!"

"That's good, there is no weakness for us on the mountain, brother, let's go and accept the surrender together! Now the water is full of treasures!"

He Sanhuai had no choice but to follow Zhao Si into a small boat and sail towards the vast reed marshes. When he arrived there, he saw Wang Wendao, Jiao Erpi, He Wenyu and others standing in formation to prevent false surrender, waiting for Zhao Si to come to make a decision.

Although Jiao Erpi was steaming wine at the foot of the mountain, when the war came, he naturally wanted to come back and fight the enemy with the five hundred brothers!

"Haha, our God of War is here!" Jiao Erpi yelled, everyone turned their heads and saw Zhao Sihe and He Sanhuai's boat rowing over.

"Third Master, Brother Wang, Brother Jiao, brothers, everyone has worked hard!"

"Brother, we didn't work hard! This battle was fought heartily! In the end, we led the remaining 200 brothers to chase the defeated army of the imperial court! Keep the ground with one arrow, protect yourself with shields, keep feints, and don't chase after merit. People just shoot arrows, hurry up and flee, now the lake is full of arrows!" Wang Wendao said excitedly.

"Okay! Let's salvage these treasures later! In the past, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a grass boat, and today we also borrowed arrows from the Navy Navy!" Zhao Si laughed.

"It's a pity that most of our brothers were also broken, and the rest were all injured!" Wang Wendao was a little sad when he said this.

"There is no such thing as an immortal in a war! Today, when we faced off against five thousand elite naval divisions, none of the 500 of us should have died, but now we have won a big victory. This is already an unprecedented good thing!" He Sanhuai patted Patting Wang Wendao on the shoulder, he said, "Everything is due to the strategic planning of Brother Zhao. If it weren't for him, we would all be feeding fish in the water today!"

"This time, I really want to thank Brother Zhao Si for his life!" He Wenyu said, bowing his hands and bowing to Zhao Si!
Everyone followed suit.Zhao Sidao: "You don't need to be too polite. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We either live together or die together. Some brothers died in battle today, but we are still alive. We have to salute and pay tribute to them! Brother Wang, Explode and shake the sky and thunder, and see off the dead brothers! Everyone take off your hats and mourn in silence!"

Wang Wendao then ordered people to light ten thunderbolts and throw them into the free water to explode. Everyone took off their hats and remained silent for a while.

No one knows what this etiquette is and what allusions it is based on, but they feel that this is indeed a good way to see off the dead brothers!

"The bones of the brothers, you can take them back for burial!" Zhao Si ordered, and said: "Brothers, let's board the enemy ship together to accept the surrender! Order the brothers to shout, 'Listen, people on board, put down your weapons, put your hands up Hold your head and squat on the bow, or shoot and kill!'”

With an order, all the living brothers began to shout, and gradually all the loach boats were filled with people squatting on the bows, and they were all bare-armed and bare-legged people, and it was obvious at a glance that they were members of the boat. Coolie!
Zhao Si and his party boarded one of the loach boats, Zhao Si pointed to some of them and said: "You guys, take a few small boats and go to the other boats to send a message, telling everyone to gather, I have something to ask."

After a while, all the loach boats gathered, and the surrenderers from each boat also sent representatives to board the loach boat where Zhao Si was. Those who came were some leaders who looked like Kong Wu, Wang Wendao, Jiao Er, etc. Pi, He Wenyu and the others all drew their bows and arrows, ready to prevent these people from violently attacking them suddenly.

"Don't be so nervous! These people are all Xiangjun brothers rowing boats, and they have never killed our brothers! They are not our enemies!" Zhao Si pressed the bows and arrows in the hands of everyone around him, and said with a pleasant face.

"You have to be careful!" He Sanhuai whispered.

"It's okay! These people are the same as the brothers in Shuizhai. They are all poor people from poor backgrounds, refugees, and military personnel. We are on our own, and we will not embarrass each other, don't you think?" Zhao Si said deliberately raising his voice.

"Your Majesty! I'm just waiting for people who suffered from floods and lost their homes when the river flooded. In order to fill their stomachs, they begged everywhere with their families. In the areas of Kaifeng Mansion and Daming Mansion, they were incorporated into the Xiang Army by the government. The hardest handyman. Now that the navy of the Imperial Army came to offend King Huwei, we were just rowing boats, and did not kill any of the King's men! I hope that the King will show mercy and spare us the lives of the grassroots! We wait There are old and young in the family, if I throw my life here, the whole family will starve to death!" Among the coolies of the Xiang army, a braver one knelt down on the bow of the boat and kowtowed Such as pounding garlic, while saying these words, the rest of the people also kowtowed and echoed.

Zhao Siqiang could not bear to look at the dead bodies, sawdust and arrows floating on the lake, as well as the still burning and smoking flags, the red lake water, etc., which made up the Shura field-like picture, and also turned a deaf ear to the wounded remnant soldiers. They wailed, suppressed the urge to vomit, tried to keep calm as usual, did not change face, and said kindly to those people: "Brothers from Xiangjun, I am a hero of Liangshan, and I will do justice for the sky and never kill innocent people indiscriminately." , but have you ever thought about it, even if I don't kill you, after you go back, won't your generals kill you?"

"My lord, it's not my fault!"

"Uh... don't call me a great king! Brother, I'm not even a small leader of Liangshan... and there is no king in my water village, only brothers and sisters! Let me listen to my little brother to analyze it carefully, and I still insist on it when I'm done If you want to go back, the younger brother will let you go without saying a word! Just now someone said that you are not to blame. Do you think that those generals of the imperial army killed you and need to convict you? Some people are always needed to take responsibility! Do you think it will be the generals of the Imperial Army? Don’t they say that you did not try your best to cause the big defeat? Even so, let you wait at this time Why did you wait to come back? Are you going to tell the court that it was my cottage that showed mercy and let you go? Or are you waiting to fight hard to break through and fight your way back? The court will not hold you accountable These, with [-] sailors fighting against [-] thieves, ended in such a disastrous defeat, do you think that the navy generals of the imperial army want the whole world to know this humiliating failure? Therefore, killing a group of silencers is a must. , you must be among those killed!"

Everyone, including He Sanhuai and others, was dumbfounded when they heard this analysis. Indeed, no matter what, once this group of people go back, they will only have the fate of being killed!
"Your Majesty!—" those Xiang soldiers cried out, "Then please give us a good time, Your Majesty, and the knives are quicker! Don't torture us..."

"I've said it before, don't call me the king! I'm just a little boy! And, I want to tell you guys, we won't kill you!"

"what--"

"Don't be surprised! Liangshan heroes, like you, are also born in poverty, why make things difficult for you! Come to our cottage, and everyone will eat meat and drink in one big bowl in the future!"

"what--"

"Don't be surprised! We don't want to rebel, but the court oppressed us too much, and we have no way out!"

"Our family—"

"As long as you don't wait to go back, your family members will be fine! The army will think that you have died in battle with the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army, and the food and salary will be sent to your home as a comfort! When you wait here to stabilize in the future, we can take you away. Family members, come to the cottage together! If you are beheaded when you go back, even if your family members are not killed by the court, they will end up starving and cold..."

"Good man!" This man finally changed his words and stopped calling him Dawang, although Zhao Si was a little bit flustered by calling him Dawang.

The leading man continued: "There are not many sailors left in the imperial army. We have taken them down and are now tied to the boat! Let me wait to go back, kill them, and get a certificate of honor. I will also die in the cottage in the future." Never mind!" They heard that there was only one way to go, so they decided to rebel!
"No need, everything is according to your wishes. I, Liangshan, will act on behalf of the heavens and will not force others! Besides, let's forget about things like Natou certificates, we believe in your determination!"

The Xiang soldiers bowed their heads and said: "The hero is Gao Yi! From now on, I will wait until my heart is broken, and I will never go back on my word!"
