Judging from his shifty-eyed appearance, calling him Bai Shengzhun is definitely the right name!
Upon seeing Zhang Yan and Zhang Baiqi, Bai Sheng immediately cried out, "Commander-in-Chief, Vice Commander-in-Chief, please save me! These people killed more than twenty of my brothers, and now they want to kill me too!"
Zhang Yan saw that Liu Wei's face was gloomy, and there was a girl beside him who was wearing Liu Wei's clothes. Yan Da was still wiping the blood off his crescent-shaped sword.
He immediately realized something was wrong; Bai Sheng had gotten into trouble, and had even offended Liu Wei.
But this Bai Sheng is the younger brother of Bai Bo, one of his subordinates.
What should we do?
Zhang Yan hesitated immediately.
"Bai Sheng? You know him?"
Liu Wei also saw that this guy who wanted to bully Fan Juan made Zhang Yan's expression complicated. Presumably, this person must be a leader in Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army.
Otherwise, how could ordinary Black Mountain soldiers have let Zhang Yan save them?
"Master, this man is the younger brother of Bai Bo, one of my leaders!"
At this moment, Zhang Yan could only honestly confess, "I don't know what mistake he made?"
"General Zhang! Is this how you manage your men?"
Liu Wei snorted coldly, "He allowed his men to plunder villages, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and even tried to rape women."
"Aren't you Black Mountain Army peasant rebels? Why are you attacking ordinary people too?"
Faced with Liu Wei's questioning, Zhang Yan was sweating profusely and her face was full of anger.
He previously joined the rebel army of the Great Teacher of Virtue in order to overthrow the corrupt Han Dynasty, equalize land distribution, and share wealth.
Although the uprising failed, the seed had already been planted in Zhang Yan's heart.
He fled back to the Taihang Mountains, gathered the scattered rebel armies from various places, and raised the banner of rebellion against the Han Dynasty and pleading for the poor people. The suffering people responded in droves, which led to the formation of the million-strong Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains.
The reason it has been able to grow so large is because it stands on the side of the general public.
However, Bai Bo's younger brother, Bai Sheng, actually turned his knife on the people. Wasn't this just shooting himself in the foot?
"Bai Sheng, how could you do such a thing? I'll kill you!"
Seeing that Liu Wei was extremely dissatisfied with this matter, Zhang Baiqi knew that Bai Sheng had no choice but to die.
However, Zhang Yan was mindful of the fact that the brothers had sworn brotherhood beforehand, so he couldn't personally take action against Bai Bo's younger brother. Therefore, Zhang Baiqi stepped forward to see Bai Sheng off, so as not to put Zhang Yan in a difficult position.
"Vice Commander, we have no choice! You haven't returned yet, and our 30,000 troops haven't eaten for two days. My elder brother sent me out to find food!"
Bai Sheng shouted, "Commander-in-Chief, Vice Commander-in-Chief, are you really going to kill me for the sake of an outsider?"
His words only enraged Zhang Yan.
"Will you die if you wait one more day? Besides, even if you're robbing the people of their food, why are you also abusing the women?"
"What outsider? This is the leader of the Mohist school, the successor of the Great Teacher of Virtue. From now on, the entire Black Mountain Army must listen to him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Sheng's face turned deathly pale and his legs went weak. Even if his elder brother Bai Bo came now, he probably wouldn't be able to save him!
"You've tarnished the reputation of the Black Mountain Army, you deserve to die!"
Zhang Baiqi drew his sword, ready to finish off Bai Sheng.
"Wait, spare his life for now, he'll be very useful!"
Liu Wei frowned.
We'll meet Zhao Yun when we go to Zhao Family Village later.
He would be furious if he found out that his childhood sweetheart was being bullied.
This kid is young and hot-blooded, and probably won't give anyone face. If he starts fighting without knowing the facts, his own people might suffer too.
We should spare Bai Sheng for now and let him vent his anger a little.
Bai Sheng watched as his head was about to fall, only to be stopped. It was as if he had just escaped death, and he was so frightened that he wet himself.
He thought he could escape death, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the problems that were about to unfold.
"Zhang Baiqi, you lead a hundred men ahead. If you see any Black Mountain Army soldiers committing atrocities along the way, kill them all, no matter who they are."
Zhang Yan sensed Liu Wei's murderous intent and immediately ordered Zhang Baiqi to go first, upholding military discipline.
The 30,000 Black Mountain troops outside Zhen Ding City were there to be reorganized by Liu Wei.
If they all ran around like Bai Sheng, bullying the common people, wouldn't Liu Wei kill them all?
It's better to kill your own underlings!
I believe Zhang Baiqi can handle this well; kill those who should be killed and release those who should be released.
Liu Wei did not stop them and immediately ordered the entire army to advance.
“Girl, it’s all in chaos right now. It’s not safe for you to go alone. We’re going to Zhending. You can come with us and seek refuge with your relatives once we get there.”
Liu Wei said to Fan Juan, who was standing to the side looking worried.
At this moment, Fan Juan was overwhelmed with gratitude when she saw that Liu Wei's men had saved her from the jaws of death and preserved her innocence.
But when she saw that the villains who had robbed her village were actually Liu Wei's men, she panicked and became wary of Liu Wei.
"I'm not going to Zhending to stay with relatives; I'm leaving now!"
"Don't worry, young lady!" Liu Wei saw Fan Juan's concern. "The bad apples in our army will be severely punished. You saw it yourself, those twenty men in the woods were killed on the spot!"
Fan Juan hesitated for a moment: "There is a hillside ten miles ahead, and on the other side is Zhao Family Village. I will go there to seek refuge with my relatives and friends."
"No problem! Please mount your horse, young lady!"
Liu Wei asked Wang Fangyi to bring a horse, and Fan Juan silently mounted it.
The group continued forward, and after half an hour, they arrived at a valley.
"This valley is where the 1,300 weapons and armor you are promised are kept. Quickly take your men and retrieve them!"
Liu Wei looked at the terrain. The valley was deep and secluded, suitable for "dropping equipment from the sky" without causing a huge commotion.
