C46 Showing off Everything in Life That's Exactly What I Want

​

Early in the morning, sunlight shone down from behind the clouds, the pale sunlight shone into every corner of the Liucheng, causing the citizens of the Wuhuan of Liaoxi to feel a bone-piercing cold. Compared to the cold sun, their hearts were even colder. Throughout the entire night, the soldiers of Liaodong Wu Huan had been burning and killing them. Lust. The Liucheng had become a living hell on earth.

Other than the collapsed residence, there was not a single intact building in the city. Ruins and rubble littered the area, and with just a glance, one could easily see corpses buried in the rubble. Wisps of black smoke rose from the charred ruins, and the stench of charred bodies and unburned debris filled the air. The streets were littered with broken corpses. The puddles of blood had already turned into black-green 'mirrors', reflecting a devilish glow under the sunlight.

On the left side of the street, in front of a five-foot-high wall, an old man with a head full of white hair was holding onto the wall with both hands. Half of his body had already turned over, but unfortunately, a long spear pierced through his back and nailed him to the wall. Five or six steps away from the old man was a white-haired old woman lying in a pool of blood. Both her arms and legs had been cut off, and her orange-skinned old face was filled with the pain and fear before her death. There were no less than thirty people lying dead on the street. They were all old, weak, and handicapped – Wu Huan would treat the prisoners of war differently, abducting women and children, killing the old, the weak, and the women and children.

"This is too tragic, isn't it?" Gongsun Yi swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. He raised his sleeve to cover his nose and took a deep breath. Only then did he manage to suppress the churning feeling in his chest.

Gongsun Jia, who was beside Gongsun Yi, looked calm. However, his tightly clenched fists were trembling slightly.

Zhao Yun, who was standing behind Gongsun Jia and his brother, pulled Yan Rou and whispered, "Zi Hu, has Wu Huan always been treating the losers like this?"

The corner of Yan Rou's mouth twitched a few times. She pulled out a smile that looked more like she was crying and tacitly accepted Zhao Yun's question.

Zhao Yun raised his right hand to rub his forehead to hide his shock.

Gongsun Xu, who was standing at the back, shook his head and sighed before turning around and walking out of the city.

The few of them looked at each other in dismay for a moment, then quickly followed.

Three kilometers outside the west gate, there was a single horse station. Behind the horse stand a neat line of White Horse Camp warriors.

Gongsun Xu walked out of the city gate and took a deep breath as he looked at the pale white sun. Gongsun Xu did not care about killing, much less how many people Wu Huan died. After all, he was the one who planned the entrance of Kurna's faction into the city, but he could not accept the brutal killing of an unarmed commoner. This had nothing to do with the enemy or the enemy, but rather the bottom line of humanity. For a moment, Gongsun Xu felt as if he had once again passed through time and space and entered a city that had once been ravaged by the wild dogs.

"People?" Just now, he noticed that Gongsun Xu was acting abnormal, so he quickly spurred his horse over and shouted in concern.

"Your nephew is fine." Gongsun Xu shook his head slowly and clenched his right fist gently.

He stared at Gongsun Xu for a while and slowly advised, "Hu people are always like that. The winner gets everything, while the loser becomes the fish. They are already used to it, so why should they care too much about it?"

Gongsun Xu nodded. The anger in his eyes soon disappeared without a trace.

He twirled his beard and smiled approvingly, thinking that the young duke had a firm and compassionate personality. He was much stronger than the duke in this aspect.

Gongsun Xu whispered, "We have to teach them a lesson!"

"You can't!" Simply shaking his head, he jumped down from the horse and walked in front of Gongsun Xu and said solemnly: "The military order is like a mountain, how can it be changed so easily? "I promised Kurna that I would let him do whatever he wants after the city is broken. If he were to suddenly impose his punishment, not only would Wu Huan refuse to accept it, I'm afraid the soldiers in my army would also have a grudge!"

Simply speaking, robbing during a war was the main way for soldiers to get rich. If Gongsun Xu were to punish Kurna with the term 'burning, killing, looting', the warriors of White Horse Camp would think that the general was ungrateful. Once on the battlefield, who would be willing to work for him?

Gongsun Xu was shocked, he quickly bowed and said: "Thank you uncle for your teachings, this nephew will be forever grateful!"

"Ke ke." Simply said, he gently laughed, "Is there a need to be too courteous to our own people?"

Gongsun Xu smiled along with him and thought to himself, 'Looks like I have to reform the military system as soon as possible and raise the salary of the soldiers!'

Simply stroking his beard, he suddenly said: "If I want to punish Kurna, I have a reasonable way."

Gongsun Xu's interest was piqued: "Please enlighten me, Uncle!"

Suquan raised his head to look at the black smoke in the city and leisurely said, "Very simple. Just give Liucheng to Kurna."

Gongsun Xu's eyes lit up and immediately understood the meaning of the Single Scripture. The distance between Youzhou and Liucheng was more than 800 miles, it was a pity to give up on food. If the Liaodong Wu Huan's archenemy, the Royal City, were to be given to Kurna, Gongsun Xu would gain a generous reputation, but Kurna would have to divide his troops to defend this place. If Ta Dun or Liu Tie led a large crowd to attack, Kurna would definitely fight to the death for the fame and the interests of the warriors under his command.

Meridian's idea was to kill two birds with one stone, which was the same as Guo Jia's suggestion that day that Zhang Yan should do the same for Jizhou's Mu.

"Uncle is very shrewd, this nephew is extremely impressed!" Gongsun Xu sincerely bowed to the Meridian as he secretly sighed that there was indeed no incompetent person who could produce such an appearance.

Just being praised like this, Ye Zichen smiled widely, then thought of a bad idea: "Didn't Kurna say he wouldn't take anything except population?"

"That's right. Uncle wants to laugh it off. Let's do it this way!" Gongsun Xu was stunned for a moment and then understood immediately. He couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gongsun Yi poked his brother and laughed softly, "Young master is ready to cheat again, smiling in such a sinister manner!"

Gongsun Jia glared at him fiercely, but in his heart, he was rather taken aback by Ye Zichen's words. Ever since the young master had woken up, his actions had been much different than before. There were already rumors in the Wu Steel Manor that the young master had been guided by an immortal in his sleep.

Gongsun Xu waved to the warriors of the White Horse Camp and shouted: "Everyone line up neatly."

Zhao Yun and Yan Rou walked into the line to assist Wang Wei and Yang Hong in their formation.

After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, the troops who were originally acting as a proper team became even more orderly. The soldiers held their heads high and held their chests high, their swords and spears like a forest as a chilling air assaulted their senses.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from inside the city gate. Kurna staggered out of the gate with a group of guards around him. When Kurna saw the scene in front of him, he immediately sobered up and ran over quickly.

Gongsun Xu smiled from a distance, "My King, did you enjoy last night?"

Kurna's old face turned red and he was speechless. Last night, he occupied a collapsed mansion, and after getting drunk, he 'visited' his wife and daughter many times. He played around with them for an entire night, and when the sky was bright, he drank a cup of Soul-Returning Wine before wobbling out of the city.

"The King must have enjoyed himself to his heart's content, otherwise he would not have come out so late."

Kurna smiled awkwardly and cupped his hands in apology.

Gongsun Xu did not tease anymore, and asked seriously: "What does the King think of Liucheng?"

Kurna was stunned: "What does the young duke mean by this?"

"After discussing with General Dan, I have decided to give Liucheng to the King. Does the King have this intention?"

"What!" Kurna was pleasantly surprised. To Wu Huan, it was a great honor to take over the kingdom after defeating his arch-enemy! With just this, those people in the tribe who were against him trying to curry favor with Gongsun Zan were speechless!

"However," Gongsun Xu looked at Kurna and suddenly paused.

Kurna hurriedly said, "Young Marquis, if you have something to say, just give it to me. As long as I can do it, I will not shirk my duties!"

"It's not a big deal." Gongsun Xu's expression was relaxed as he casually said, "Before this, the King said that he would take nothing in this battle except population. Youzhou is already destitute, and our army has expended a lot of resources to travel a thousand miles, I thank the King for his generosity! " After which, he cupped his hands and bowed.

Kurna hurriedly smiled in return, feeling bitter in his heart. Originally, when he followed Gongsun Zan, he also encountered similar situations. Gongsun Zan would take the agreement as a joke and take at least 30 to 40% of the reward. Unexpectedly, when it was Gongsun Xu's turn, he didn't give him any face at all.

'Fortunately, I got my hands on the Liucheng, otherwise I would be in big trouble this time.' Kurna did not dare to retort and could only console himself in his heart.

"Hehe." Dan Chuan laughed at the side: "Half of the reason for attacking Liucheng this time was to avenge the King. Back then, there was someone within the Youzhou who opposed this matter, and it was thanks to the people's perseverance that they were able to send troops. Now, we still have to give Liucheng to the King. If we do not capture him heavily enough, we will not be able to explain ourselves when we go back! "

"Rushing Liucheng to take revenge for me? This reason was really the same as meeting you face to face. Mother. "What a big head!" Kurna silently cursed, but he had no choice but to smile: "General Dan is right, I will take care of it! Please rest assured, This King will make them hand over the loot right now. " With that, he dispiritedly ordered his trusted aides to go into the city and send orders for his men to come out of the city as soon as possible.

"Very good!" Gongsun Xu laughed, "The King is indeed my father's most reliable friend! "My predecessors have thanked the King for his generosity!"

"Hehe, that's how it should be! "Of course!" Kurna laughed with blood dripping from his heart. He couldn't wait to punch Gongsun Xu's smiling face a few times, then knock him down and kick him forcefully a few times.

After a full hour, groups of Liaodong warriors finally left the city and began to slowly form a formation beside the moat. Many people were cursing and swearing in low voices. It was so easy for them to win the battle, and most of them were happily playing. Woman, who would want to leave the hot quilt at this time?

Kurna spurred his horse to the front of the line, waving his arms and shouting, "Children, let This King tell you a piece of good news!"

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it. After you're done, I'm going back to sleep!"

"That's right, my king. It's such a cold day, why do you need us to line up? Isn't this a depraved person? "

"Great King, Achoo! What good news? Is it to reward us women Achoo and the money? "

"Haha, haven't you fought enough?" Your father saw with his own eyes you steal a large chunk of gold yesterday! "

Kurna was furious, he pulled out his machete and shouted, "Everyone shut up! Whoever spouts nonsense again, behead! "

The team quickly quieted down as everyone stared at Kurna.

Kurna swept the surroundings with his dignified gaze and shouted, "This king has asked the young duke and General Dan for the Liucheng. From today onwards, the Liucheng is our Liaodong's Wu Huan!"

Gongsun Xu and One-Pun looked at each other and saw a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.

"Let's slap him on the face to make him look fat." Gongsun Yi muttered with a smile.

Liaodong Wu Huan's soldiers were stunned for a moment, before they let out an earth-shattering cheer. Previously, they were expelled by Qiu Liju and Wu Yan together, but there was almost no place for them to stand in in the north. Now that the situation had changed, the Liaodong Wu Huan could take over the Wuhuan of Liaoxi's imperial city in one fell swoop. This was extremely good news! However, many people were thinking, since the good news is so good, the bad news must be quite bad as well, right?

"Silence! Silence! " He straightened his back and shouted, "Before this expedition, I made an agreement with the young duke. After this battle, I will take the entrance, and give the rest to the young duke. The young duke's spirit of loyalty is deep, how can we break our promise? "My sons, the women you've robbed are still yours. As for the gold and silver, cough cough, everyone, you should hand it over!"

As soon as he said that, the team in front of him exploded.

"Why should I? According to the rules, whoever got it would get it! Wasn't that how you fought when you fought with the duke in the past? "

"That's right! "Great King, we fought so hard last night that we managed to take over the city. We lost a few hundred brothers. If we 'painstakingly found' those gold and silver treasures and were given them away, how would we be worthy of our dead brothers?"

"Your Majesty, please discuss this with the young duke. Can we not hand it over or only hand it over to a small half?"

"All of you shut up for This King!" A bunch of greedy idiots! " Kurna was furious and could not help but curse out loud, "Killing and robbing women and children, the old and the weak and the weak are also fighting with their lives in blood? F * ck all of you! milk. Milk! If it wasn't for the young duke's order taking down the city gates, you wouldn't even be able to enter the city! You don't know what's good for you! Someone come! "

"Great King, please give the order!" Dozens of personal guards cupped their hands and waited for orders.

Kurna waved his waist blade and shouted with a murderous look, "Have them hand over all their gold and silver products! Defiance Slash! "Hidden Hand Slash!"

"Here!" The personal guards jumped off their horses and walked towards the group, holding their weapons.

"Great King, do you need my help?" Gongsun Xu asked with a smile, but he did not wait for Kurna's reply and waved to Yan Rou.

Yan Rou took the hint and led the thousand archers forward.

"Cough cough cough!" "Thank you, young duke!" Kurna almost failed to catch his breath as he kept cursing Gongsun Xu in his heart.

The situation was better than the enemy, so the soldiers of Liaodong Wu Huan could do nothing but open their pockets in pain and pour down the gold and silver money that they had arduously looted onto the ground. In an instant, the front of the moat was covered with gold, silver, copper coins, jade pendant, pearls and other items.

"What are you all planning to do? Dog. Day. "How dare you hit me!" Suddenly, a clamor came from the crowd.

Everyone looked up and saw dozens of soldiers in leather armor pushing and shoving Kurna's personal guards, cursing non-stop.

"What's going on?" Kurna shouted with a sullen face.

The leader of the personal guard said loudly, "Your Majesty, these fellows refuse to hand the item over!"

Kurna was furious. "You don't want to live anymore, right? I will count to three. If I don't hand over this thing, I will cut you down! "One!"

Gongsun Xu sneered and winked at Yan Rou.

Yan Rou waved her hand, and the archers nocked their bows and nocked their arrows.

The companions around those few dozen people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they quickly moved to the side. In the blink of an eye, the area around those people was emptied. They looked at each other, hesitant.

"Two!" Kurna shouted the second number.

"Kill!" Gongsun Xu suddenly shouted without waiting for him to say 'three'.

"Shoot!" Yan Rou gave the order, and the several hundred archers standing in front released their bowstrings at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, every single one of those men had been shot by over ten arrows. They all died on the spot before they could even make a sound. There were too many arrows on their bodies. Even though they were all out of breath, their bodies did not collapse. Their faces were all filled with horror and disbelief before they died.

"Young duke!" Kurna cried out in anger, "May I ask what's the meaning of this, young duke?" After enduring for so long, Gongsun Xu had finally reached his limit.

"What do you mean? Ha Ha Ha "laughed Gongsun Xu towards the sky. After laughing, he glared at Kurna and shouted coldly," What do I need to do? Do I need to ask the King? Does the King think he is worthy enough for me to ask? Or could it be that the King thinks that the power in his hands can contend against my Youzhou? "

Kurna felt as if a bucket of cold water was being poured on his head. The anger in his heart instantly vanished like smoke into thin air. His teeth chattered but he was unable to utter a single word. At this moment, he finally understood one thing — the smiling young duke was not only scheming and merciless, but his methods were far superior to his father, Gongsun Zan!

Kurna was scared witless, and the warriors of the Liaodong Wu Huan were even more so, afraid that they would accidentally offend Gongsun Xu, which would result in a severe consequence that would pierce the heart.

Gongsun Xu swept his vicious gaze in a circle from left to right. Everywhere he looked, all of the Liaodong's Wu Huan's warriors hurriedly lowered their heads. The power of a single glance … was so great that it could even reach the heavens!

Gongsun Xu retracted his gaze, stared at Kurna whose legs were trembling, and said sternly: "What I gave you, you can take! If I don't give it to you, whoever dares to reach out my hand will have their head smashed to the ground! Do you understand? "

These words were spoken in a stern voice, and the last sentence contained an ice-cold killing intent that soared to the sky. The soldiers under Kurna were scared out of their wits. They kneeled on the ground and kowtowed.

Kurna looked around and hopped off the horse helplessly. He knelt down on one knee and begged Gongsun Xu for forgiveness.

In the days that followed, Gongsun Xu's words and actions often flashed through Kurna's mind. Every time he thought about it, his back would be drenched in cold sweat. Every time when he had ill intentions, he would think of Gongsun Xu's sneer and the tens of men who were shot like hedgehogs. For the rest of his life, Kurna never dared to disobey Gongsun Xu's orders!

"Haha, King, General Gongsun was actually joking around! Great King, please get up! " He walked up to Kurna at the right time and helped him up with a smile.

"Hehehehe." Kurna laughed foolishly for a while before finally calming down. He looked at Gongsun Xu with a fawning face and said, "This subordinate only found out today that the Young Marquis really likes to joke around."

Previously, Kurna called himself "This King", but now, he called himself "Subordinate". Even in front of Gongsun Zan, he had never been this respectful. It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of Gongsun Xu.

"Haha!" Gongsun Xu laughed and jumped down from the horse, grabbing Kurna by the arm. In the blink of an eye, his expression turned into one of spring's, "The King is right, sometimes I really like to joke. Isn't it easier to joke around?"

"Yes!" "The young duke is right!" Kurna smiled fawningly, he didn't dare to say half of it.

Yan Rou swallowed her saliva with difficulty and turned around to look at Zhao Yun. She noticed that Zhao Yun also had a face full of shock.

As for Yang Hong, Wang Wei, Gongsun Jia, and the other brothers, they were all stupefied.

At this moment, countless of people had the same thought in their hearts, 'What a formidable person!'
