Chapter 180: Despicable Means

Yu Sheng looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling and crawling over. He had not taken off his standard armor. His face was as pale as paper. His body seemed strong, but his eyes were distracted. When he looked at his hands carefully, he did not find the calluses left by holding weapons all year round. The thick calluses on his hands were more like the remains of using farm tools all year round.

No matter from any angle, the middle-aged man was not a soldier, but an ordinary person who worked every day. And judging from his expression, it should be that he had not had enough water to get into the water for several days.

"Don't worry, say it slowly." Yu Sheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and whispered: "I know you are not a soldier, but a commoner. The people in the enclave are the people of my Dongwang Mansion. If you have any grievances, I will make the decision for you."

"Sir!" When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes immediately rolled in tears. He kowtowed violently, bowed to Yu Sheng, and shouted: "I'd like to make the decision for us and save my wife and children's lives!"

"Please make the decision for us! Save our loved ones' lives!" The people behind the middle-aged man knelt down and begged loudly.

Yu Sheng's eyes were cold and he looked back at the officer who was ruled by the two soldiers. The two officers felt a substantial cold light radiating from Yu Sheng's eyes, which made the two of them feel cold on their backs, and they knelt on the ground blankly, not daring to say a word.

"Speak slowly, let me know the whole story." Yu Sheng glared at the two officers, turned back again, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Yes...yes..." The middle-aged man straightened his upper body, wiped his tears with his rough hands, and said, "We are all natives in Changxiangcheng, a few days ago..."

The middle-aged man murmured, and in a short while, he could figure out the whole story of Changxiangcheng for the rest of his life.

Changxiangcheng, originally called Changxiang, was a small village in a mountain stream. Later, the chief of the enclave fought in all directions and unified the entire territory. He found that Changxiang was a dangerous place and could be used as a protective base, so he ordered the soldiers to build Changxiangcheng.

This place is remote and has many mountains nearby. Apart from a few flat land in front and behind the city, there are barren mountains around it. The establishment of Changxiang City not only did not allow the people to enjoy their happiness, but instead occupied not much arable land and built the city walls, which made the people's lives even more miserable.

Three days ago, the lord of Changxiangcheng received an order that Changxiangcheng was the throat of the traffic. The general responsible for defense ordered the lord of Changxiangcheng to strictly guard against each other, and sent a deputy general to lead 8,000 soldiers to Changxiangcheng, which made it even more unbearable for the already poor Changxiangcheng.

Originally, all the soldiers were stationed in Changxiang City, but the responsible deputy seemed to have received some news and urgently withdrew all the soldiers.

Before leaving, the Lord of Changxiang ordered all the people to be taken away, saying that he wanted to leave an empty city for the enemy.

Later, someone suggested that if it was really an empty city, the enemy would not enter easily, so he left behind two hundred people and threatened their relatives with the lives of their relatives to pretend to be enclave soldiers, deceive the trust of the soldiers of the East Mansion, and let them enter the city.

When they left, the enclave soldiers took away all the food, livestock, and equipment in the city, destroying all the fortifications guarding the city, intending to trap the soldiers of the East Mansion in Changxiang City and catch turtles in the jar.

Yu Sheng quietly listened to the middle-aged man's words, and looked at his tears and looked at him with anger.

"Damn." Yu Sheng turned around and rushed to one of the officers. He kicked him directly.

On this man's lower abdomen, he did not use any fighting spirit, but he used ten percent of his strength. The officer kicked him on the lower abdomen by Yu Sheng, and immediately spit out all the food from last night. His throat made a hoarse sound, his eyes widened, and his head was on the grass in front of him, and he felt extremely painful.

"Are you still fucking humans?" Yu Sheng pointed at another older officer, and acted to go forward and attack, but he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, so he gave up.

Looking back, I saw several soldiers dragging a few dummies made of straw to Yu Sheng, putting the straw man at his feet, and saying, "Report to General, there are no fortifications on the city wall, and only these dummies were found on it."

Yu Sheng looked closely and saw that these dummies were clearly wearing the enclave sergeant's armor. After seeing these dummies, he became even more angry. He turned around and pulled out the long sword from his waist, and made a gesture to chop the officer in front of him.

"General! Don't take action! We are also forced!" The older officer saw that Yu Sheng was about to kill someone immediately. At the critical moment of survival, he immediately opened his mouth: "If we don't do this job, our family will not be able to escape the bad luck!"

"Don't let your mother go!" Yu Sheng took a step forward, cut off with one knife, and cut off the head of the officer who was kicked down in front of him. Blood rolled out. He raised his long sword and pointed at the older soldier in front of him, saying, "For the army, the people are the foundation. The people work hard every day. What you wear, bring, and eat is not the people? If something happens, let the people be cannon fodder. How dare you say you are forced?"

After saying that, Yu Sheng held the knife and wanted to chop down. All the people behind him stretched their necks and looked forward, their eyes different, either frightened, ecstatic, or dodged. They could not avenge themselves, nor dared to attack the enclave soldiers. At this moment, Yu Sheng made the decision for them and really cut off the two officers in front of them. That would be a great pleasure in the hearts of these people.

"I know there is death or no life." Seeing Yu Sheng's appearance, the officer had to kill himself at this moment, so he simply took the initiative and shouted loudly: "But the general did not distinguish between Qingbai and killed people directly. I don't accept it!"

When Yu Sheng heard this, the knife in his hand stopped, looked at the officer with interest, and asked, "What are you dissatisfied with? Tell me."

Yu Sheng killed countless people before, and it was not uncommon to kill enemy prisoners on the battlefield. However, the dying person either cried loudly, emptied everything, or cursed to death. This made Yu Sheng curious.

"I am just a commander, responsible for introducing the general's army into the city, and launching fireworks as soon as possible to inform the ambushing troops around to surround Changxiangcheng. This task is to die without life, but the general knows why I was the two of me who received this task?" The elderly officer spoke loudly, not at all as he had before his death, and spoke righteously.

"Interesting." Yu Sheng obviously became curious about the elderly officer in front of him, but he didn't care at all what the man said. What he was interested in was this man's courage.

There is only such a person who is on the verge of death, the more he lets go of everything. Such people often have an unimaginable courage at critical moments. It is not true that they are not afraid of danger. This kind of person simply becomes unafraid of life and death before he dies.

He always acts like an ordinary person. When Yu Sheng compared the knife to this person's neck, he was so scared that he didn't dare to move. Now Yu Sheng wanted to raise the knife to chop him, but he was not afraid at all.

"You generals have formulated a plan and someone will always implement it. No matter whether you are lucky or framed or have something to say, you will accept it if you accept it, and you will die if you deserve it." Yu Sheng looked at the officer kneeling on the ground in front of him and smiled slightly. He was curious about this man, but he was not as good as he was going to spare his life.

"That's because we were unwilling to participate in the battle against the Eastern Prince's Mansion. We are the masters!" The officer suddenly roared and said, "The masters responsible for the defense near Wufeng City are very strong in their fight. As long as they want to make peace in the army, no one of them will have a good ending. It was because the two of us were heard by others in private talk and reported to the deputy general. Then we sent us out and captured our relatives at the same time. If we don't do this, our relatives will die. If we surrender to the enemy, our relatives will die. If we don't come, our whole family will die together. General! If it were you, how would you choose?"

Yu Sheng was stunned when he heard this man say this.

Is there a pro-East Prince's Mansion in this enclave? The chief of the enclave unified the entire enclave. Isn't it a solid piece?

During the long confrontation with the enclave, Yu Sheng had never heard of relevant information before. He did not know that there was also a saying about the Eastern Prince's Mansion, inside the enclave, the Lord's War.

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, and did not speak, but inserted the long knife in his hand back to his waist, turned to the two hundred people in front of him and said, "Okay, you should get up, you should go home and go home. This city will be under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Prince's Mansion in the future. I will find a way to rescue your relatives."

When the middle-aged man kneeling in front heard this, he glared at the officer behind him, then kowtowed to Yu Sheng, without saying a word, stood up, turned around and left.

Some of the remaining people left after kowtowing, and some cried to Yu Sheng for a while, but Yu was determined and the people had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Yu Sheng ordered several soldiers to distribute the rations they carried to the 200 people in the city. They had not been in water for three days, and they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on any longer. They had just experienced a hearty battle and seized a lot of military rations. Even if they were divided, there were still a lot, which was enough for the battles in the past few days.

When the people received the rations, they thanked them all and kowtowed them one after another. Under the escort of a team of black-armored soldiers, they all went home.

The people dispersed, and Yu Sheng turned around and looked at the elderly officer who was still kneeling on the ground in front of him. He asked with interest: "There are the lords and lords inside your enclave. This is the first time I have heard of it."

At this moment, the body of the officer who had just been killed by Yu Sheng had been dragged away by the soldiers, leaving only a bright red blood on the ground.

The officer was already ready to die. Before he died, he said what he wanted to say, but he was dead without regrets. However, when he heard Yu Sheng say something like this, there was a turning point in his words, and he immediately lit up his eyes and hurriedly returned: "It was divided into two factions, and the war and forces wanted to be the two sides. Before, he had a big fight in Wufeng City."

"Interesting." Yu Sheng showed a playful smile, looked at the officer in front of him, and whispered: "You and me, let me talk about it in detail."
