There was a corpse lying on the ground. His name was Li Erniu. The smell of blood floated around the camp.
The hundreds of people on the side narrowed their eyes. Their bodies began to lean forward, and their hands reached for the sabers at their waists. They kept a safe distance from Shi Yuan. If Shi Yuan made a slight move, he would definitely be attacked by swords. Killing people was a common thing for these people in the Huang Army.
Pang Shiyuan was very satisfied with the reaction of these Huang Army soldiers. They were capable, but they were not in a hurry. To put it nicely, they were calm and collected. To put it bluntly, they were cowards. Or it could be said that one of their bad habits was revealed. They would not care if it was not related to them.
This was what Pang Shiyuan wanted.
These people were selected by Pang Shiyuan. Each of them was a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. If they were to fight to the death, ten of Pang Shiyuan would not be their opponent. Pang Shiyuan was lucky to be able to kill Li Erniu because Li Erniu did not put a weak scholar in his eyes. That was why he was killed by Pang Shiyuan.
But these people were "old, weak, sick and disabled"! It wasn't that they lacked arms or legs, but that they were all old, had accumulated enough military merits, and were about to get tired of the battlefield.
They were now only thinking of one thing, and that was that they were going to retire from the army. They did not want to fight anymore.
Thinking like this, these people did not want to interfere. He did not want to be a hindrance to his retirement because of his meddling.
Li Erniu had nothing to do with him. As long as he was not the one who died, he would naturally not care.
Second, this person was a thorn. Not only was he like this to Shi Yuan, but he was also very disrespectful to these old, weak and disabled people.
One was a senior expert, and the other was a rising star. Naturally, they would compete for power. General Huang Nuo was also a young man. He naturally wanted to cultivate his own team.
Therefore, these old people were ostracized by Li Erniu. If it wasn't for the fact that their hostility had been wiped out, they would probably have stood up and fought Li Erniu to the death.
Pang Shiyuan killed Li Erniu because he grasped the thoughts of those veterans. Firstly, Pang Shiyuan really didn't like Li Erniu. It was fine if Huang Nuo was causing trouble for him. After all, Huang Nuo was the cousin of Military Advisor Huang She. But Li Erniu, who did he think he was?
Of all the generals that Pang Shiyuan had seen, which one was not as big as Li Erniu?
Therefore, Pang Shiyuan wanted to kill Li Erniu.
Secondly, after killing Li Erniu, the monkeys below would be much quieter. They would probably be very happy that he had helped them vent their anger.
Pang Shiyuan saw that Li Erniu was rampaging in the crowd. It was obvious that he didn't put these seniors in his eyes. Several of them wanted to settle the score with Li Erniu, but they were stopped by the people next to them. They forcefully endured it.
They had to endure it. Killing Li Erniu was to let these monkeys know that Pang Shiyuan was not so easy to talk to. Similarly, Pang Shiyuan would also kill people. This group of monkeys would no longer have that kind of contempt towards him. It should be known that no matter how much hatred Li Erniu had with them, it was an internal conflict. Pang Shiyuan was the external conflict. Therefore, Pang Shiyuan killed Li Erniu to make the internal conflict worse.
"I believe there is no need to say who I am! You all know me, right? " Pang Shiyuan looked at the hundred people over there with a smile.
These hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people did not speak. They just looked at Pang Shiyuan vigilantly.
"If you don't know me, then let me introduce myself. My surname is Shi, and my name is Yuan. I am your new commander! I got the order from your young master. See, this is the Tiger Tally that your young master gave me! "Pang Shiyuan took out half of the Tiger Tally and said to the crowd over there.
"So what?" A person who seemed to be the leader stood up and asked vigilantly.
"Nothing. This means that all of you have to listen to me. Otherwise, only death awaits you!" Pang Shiyuan said with a smile as he looked at the crowd.
"A dead end? Based on what? Do you think you can kill all of us by yourself? "The leader asked doubtfully.
"Hehe, based on what? Based on the fact that I killed Li Erniu and you all didn't stop me. Based on the fact that I am your commander! " Pang Shiyuan continued, "This Li Erniu must be the confidant of your former commander, General Huang Nuo!" Pang Shiyuan stepped on Li Erniu's corpse as he spoke to the crowd over there with a smile.
Although the crowd did not answer, Pang Shiyuan had already gotten the answer from their silence. Li Erniu was indeed Huang Nuo's confidant.
"What do you think if those people outside knew that I killed Li Erniu and you all didn't stop me? What would they think?" Pang Shiyuan smiled as he walked over to the crowd beside him.
"What would they do? They would ostracize you. They would hate you. Even General Huang Nuo would despise you because you did not take up the position of a comrade. You just watched me kill Li Erniu! Although you are not the murderer, you are better than the murderer! "Pang Shiyuan described their future lives to them one by one.
"Bullsh * t! Did those people ever treat us as comrades-in-arms? Li Erniu was not our brother! We didn't kill him either! " One of the old soldiers couldn't help but shout.
"Chi Kang!" The old soldier who was leading the group held back the man named Chi Kang.
Seeing this, Pang Shiyuan was laughing in his heart. He wanted to focus on this internal conflict. He wanted to break them one by one from the inside.
"Li Erniu was not your brother? They didn't think so! They thought that you didn't save him. Although you didn't kill Li Erniu, who would believe it? You or me? Or you? "Pang Shiyuan pointed at them one by one. One by one, they lowered their heads!
"No one will believe it!" Pang Shiyuan said, "They will only treat you as the murderer and my accomplices. You watching your comrades-in-arms die is a much worse crime than me, the murderer. So, when you go out, you will only have a dead end! If you listen to me, you may live! "
"Hmph, we will kill you!" The leader of the old soldiers snorted coldly at Pang Shiyuan. Killing Pang Shiyuan could be considered as revenge for Li Erniu.
"Okay! Come on! You are here to kill me? " Pang Shiyuan was not scared by the leader of the old soldiers at all. "Kill me, and you will have no way to live!" Pang Shiyuan said indifferently. He, Pang Shiyuan, was personally invited down the mountain by Huang Nuo. If Huang She killed Pang Shiyuan, Huang Nuo would be angry and take away his official position. But if these old soldiers killed Pang Shiyuan, then there was only one ending. That is, Huang Nuo would not let any of them go and kill all of them.
They didn't even need an excuse because they killed their superior. It was impossible for Huang Nuo to plead for them. After all, these old soldiers were about to retire. These old soldiers helped Huang Nuo to get rid of Pang Shiyuan.
If they killed Pang Shiyuan, then the Young Patriarch wouldn't let them off. But if they didn't kill Pang Shiyuan, then they would have to watch their comrade die in front of them. Even if this person was someone they hated, but he was still a comrade. If they went out like this, then they would be looked down upon by others. Looking down on them might not be a big deal, but once they were on the battlefield, then they would have to be careful of being shot in the back.
Therefore, they were now caught in a dilemma.
"What do you want!" The leader of the old soldiers gritted his teeth and looked at Pang Shiyuan.
"I don't want anything! As long as you listen to me, then none of this will happen! "Pang Shiyuan said to the old soldier with a smile.
"Even if we listen to you and win this game, can you guarantee that the others will not reject us?" The old soldier continued to ask. After all, Li Erniu died in front of them.
"Of course, I can guarantee it!" Pang Shiyuan said to the old soldier.
"You are lying!"
"Why should I lie to you! Don't you care about the thoughts of your fellow soldiers? Well, I will give you a promise. That is, if we win this game, you can all retire if you want. If you don't want to leave the army, you can stay and be my personal guard! "Pang Shiyuan said to the old soldiers.
"What!" Pang Shiyuan's words were like a bomb exploding in their hearts.
Retire? They can retire?
"Mr. Shiyuan, is what you said true?" The leader of the veterans began to use honorifics. Retiring from the army was something that they yearned for day and night. They were different from the Huang Family Army outside. They were thinking about how Ru Huo was going to make a name for himself. However, these veterans were thinking about how to survive and retire from the army. They wanted to find a good village, buy a few acres of land, have children, and have a wife. They were really tired of the military life. Every time they fought and killed, they had to put their heads on their waists.
However, it was impossible time and time again because they were veterans. They were precious resources in the army.
Which general would let them go? So they stayed. One by one, they were either dead or disabled. Those who really wanted to leave the camp were either half-dead or already dead.
Now that they heard Pang Shiyuan say that he could help them retire, it was like a bomb.
"Of course I can! When the army goes to war, those young people are enough. You? I feel that you are a burden! "Pang Shiyuan said to the old soldiers below.
"You!" Some of the old soldiers were very unhappy. They had been through hundreds of battles. Now he said that they were a burden.
The old soldiers on the side stopped them. Now they were thinking about how to retire. There was no need to argue with him.
"However!" Pang Shiyuan's words suddenly changed. "If I want you to retire, I am not enough!" Pang Shiyuan said as he pulled open the chain of the tent. He looked at Huang Nuo and said to everyone, "If I win, all of you can retire from the army. But if I lose, hehe, I will be kicked out of the army by Huang Nuo. All of you can just wait to die on the battlefield!"
