NOVEL NEXT Chapter 179
As soon as Wu Anguo returned to the city, he went straight to Kong Rong and relentlessly denounced the clan members.
He angrily said that it was entirely possible to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, but because of the clan members' eagerness for quick success and rash actions, the carefully arranged plan fell through.
If it weren't for his superior strength and the close fight with Zhang Liao, he would have suffered greater losses today.
However, Kong Rong didn't care about these, but said worriedly: "Now is not the time to argue about these. The Yellow Turban Army will definitely attack again tomorrow. What should we do?"
Although Wu Anguo and Zhang Liao fought to a draw, Kong Rong was worried that the Yellow Turban Army would send more generals, and there would be no one else in Beihai who could resist.
By then, everything would be destroyed, and he, Kong Rong, would also bear the infamy of a criminal of the Han Dynasty.
Wu Anguo comforted him: "Don't worry, sir. No matter how many enemies come tomorrow, I, Wu Anguo, will fight to the end!"
Wu Anguo was full of confidence and believed that he could defeat any opponent.
But Kong Rong was still frowning. Although he believed in Wu Anguo's strength, he was very clear that two fists could not beat four hands.
Now there is no one in Beihai who can cooperate with Wu Anguo, and it is difficult to support alone.
Ni Heng walked up to Wu Anguo with a gloomy face, pointed his finger at his nose, and said bluntly: "Wu Anguo, did you deliberately let him go? That young general of the Yellow Turban Army looks less than 20 years old, and you can fight him until dark! This is unbelievable!"
Ni Heng's voice was full of doubt and anger, which made people around him look sideways.
Wu Anguo widened his eyes and wanted to explain, but Ni Heng did not give him a chance at all, and continued: "You are the most powerful general in Beihai! If you didn't deliberately let him go, how could the fight be so difficult? Did you accept bribes from the Yellow Turban Army?"
Ni Heng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Wu Anguo's heart.
Wu Anguo was so angry that his face turned red. Just as he was about to refute, Ni Heng interrupted him again: "Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you guys are thinking. You want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits and don't hesitate to collude with the enemy! I think you are a traitor!"
Ni Heng's accusations became more and more fierce, and his words became more and more unpleasant. Wu Anguo snorted coldly and turned away.
Ni Heng saw Wu Anguo leave, and his anger became even stronger. He continued to shout at Wu Anguo's back: "Wu Anguo, you coward! You dare not face my questioning, you can only escape! People like you don't deserve to be called the first fierce general of Beihai!"
Ni Heng's voice echoed in the air, as if to shake the whole world.
He then cursed: "You useless thing, you dare to betray Beihai! Your behavior is simply a shame to our Beihai Navy! How can you still stay here?"
Ni Heng became more and more excited, even a little hysterical.
His words swept in like a storm, making it impossible to resist.
Ni Heng's eyes swept around the people around him, with anger flashing in his eyes.
He continued to insult: "Look at this man, how does he treat our Beihai Army? How does he treat our lord Kong Rong? He is a shameless guy!"
Ni Heng's words caused a lot of discussion among the people around him. They looked at the direction where Wu Anguo left, with complicated expressions on their faces.
Ni Heng did not stop his scolding, but said more passionately: "Wu Anguo, you scum! Do you think you can escape punishment? Everything you do will be retribution!"
Ni Heng's words were like thunder, deafening.
His anger seemed to break through the sky, making everyone feel his anger.
Ni Heng's scolding skills are unique. Every word he said is like a sharp blade, piercing Wu Anguo's heart.
He spoke very fast, like a string of cannons, not giving Wu Anguo any chance to breathe.
Ni Heng's eyes revealed deep contempt and disdain. He thought Wu Anguo was a person who was not worthy of respect.
Ni Heng's scolding lasted for a long time, until his voice became hoarse, and then he stopped for a while.
However, his eyes were still fixed on the direction where Wu Anguo left, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.
Ni Heng's performance shocked everyone present, they had never seen Ni Heng so angry.
And Wu Anguo became the object of his venting anger, and was scolded to pieces.
......
Watching Ni Heng start to insult Wu Anguo again, Kong Rong shook his head helplessly, thinking that this guy was really a thorn.
However, as a friend of Ni Heng, Kong Rong could not let him go on like this, so he stepped forward and persuaded him: "Brother Ni Heng, don't say anything more, let's go."
Although Ni Heng was unwilling to hear this, he saw that Kong Rong, stopped cursing Wu Anguo for the sake of his face.
Afterwards, Kong Rong and Ni Heng left the city gate in disgrace under the pointing of the crowd.
Wang Xiu and Sun Shao, who were hiding in the dark, witnessed all this and were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.
They knew in their hearts that if it weren't for Wu Anguo's efforts to turn the tide, Beihai would have fallen long ago.
However, Ni Heng turned black and white and slandered Wu Anguo for colluding with the Yellow Turban Army, which undoubtedly put a huge hat on Wu Anguo.
Wang Xiu said indignantly: "This Ni Heng is really too much, he is simply arrogant. Who does he think he is? Apart from that stinky mouth, what else can he do?"
Sun Shao sighed and advised: "Forget it, don't bother with him. After all, Ni Heng is Kong Rong's good friend, and we are just Kong Rong's subordinates, and our status is far different."
"I just feel sorry for General Wu Anguo. He should have been a meritorious official, but he was scolded by Ni Heng and became a sinner!" Wang Xiu clenched his fists.
If it weren't for the relationship between Ni Heng and Kong Rong, Wang Xiu was ready to beat Ni Heng up directly. Now he was really uncomfortable with the anger in his heart.
"Alas, this Ni Heng's mouth is really powerful. Now the discussion of the people around has changed!" Sun Shao was naturally very angry. Following such a person, there is no future at all.
At this moment, Wang Xiu suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Why don't we join the Yellow Turban Army? The Yellow Turban Army fights for the people of the world. With your and my talents, we can definitely benefit the people of one side!"
"This is not good..." Sun Shao was a little hesitant. Betraying the Han Dynasty and joining the Yellow Turban Army was equivalent to becoming a traitor.
Wang Xiu naturally knew Sun Shao's concerns, so he began to persuade Sun Shao again. He had already made up his mind. Now as long as he persuaded Sun Shao, the matter could be settled.
Joining the Yellow Turban Army is much more promising than following Kong Rong.
Wang Xiu saw that Sun Shao had wavered, and he was secretly happy, thinking that his efforts had finally paid off.
He decided to strike while the iron was hot and further persuade Sun Shao to join the Yellow Turban Army. So, Wang Xiu began to talk about the benefits of joining the Yellow Turban Army: "In this situation, there are only two options for us."
"One is to join the Yellow Turban Army, so that we can give full play to what we have learned and show our skills."
"The second is to follow Kong Rong to die together. You know, Kong Rong is self-righteous, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and will never surrender. In this way, we will inevitably be implicated."
Wang Xiu knew that Sun Shao was loyal to Kong Rong, but he knew even more that Sun Shao was still eager to display his talents and realize his ambitions in his heart.
Therefore, he cleverly used various rhetoric techniques, praising the strength and bright future of the Yellow Turban Army, and elaborating on the severity of the current situation, as well as the opportunities and achievements that can be obtained after joining the Yellow Turban Army.
"If it is true as you said, then it seems that there is no other choice. It is wise to join the Yellow Turban Army. After all, there is no other way to survive."
Sun Shao frowned and fell into deep thought. He had to admit that Wang Xiu's analysis was quite convincing.
The current situation is indeed as Wang Xiu said. If you don't join the Yellow Turban Army, you will probably die.
Seeing that Sun Shao was already somewhat moved, Wang Xiu continued, "Yes, now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the world is in chaos, we should look for a wise leader to display our talents."
"And the Yellow Turban Army led by the Holy Son Zhang Fu is a force full of vitality and hope. They have firm beliefs and lofty goals. If we join them, we will definitely make a difference."
Sun Shao listened to Wang Xiu's words and couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his heart.
He remembered that he had studied poetry and books for many years just to serve the country, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
Now, facing such a difficult choice, he must consider it carefully. However, under Wang Xiu's constant persuasion, he gradually felt that his determination began to waver...
Sun Shao pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, let's do what Brother Wang said!" He knew in his heart that the current situation was tense and joining the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be the only way out.
Wang Xiu smiled slightly and continued, "Next, we have another important thing to do, which is to persuade Wu Anguo to join the Yellow Turban Army!"
Although both of them have certain talents, there are many talented people in the Yellow Turban Army today. If you want to stand out among them, you need to win over a powerful general.
Sun Shao nodded in agreement and reminded, "But it is definitely not appropriate today. Wu Anguo is angry at the moment. If we try to persuade him now, I am afraid he will be beaten up severely. It is really not worth it."
Wang Xiu smiled and replied:"I think so too. We can wait until tomorrow before Wu Anguo goes to war to persuade him. After all, he is a simple military commander. As long as the method is appropriate, it should not be difficult to persuade him."
"And after what happened today, his dissatisfaction with Kong Rong may make it easier for us to persuade him."
The two smiled at each other, as if they saw hope for the future. As for Kong Rong, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry, but they could only shake their heads helplessly.
After all, Kong Rong has paid more attention to his good friend Ni Heng in recent years, and he doesn't pay much attention to them.
No matter how well they perform, as long as Ni Heng scolds them, their achievements will be gone. It can be said that today's decision has been accumulated for several years.
