Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Might of the Officers and Soldiers
In November of the ninth year of orthodoxy, Zhang Qiuzhen.
When Liu Juntao led more than 600 young men from Chen Ziping's department to hurry, he was still a little worried in his heart, whether Huo Qianhu would not contribute to the work, and just dragged the Chen family's horse team in Zhangqiu Town.
If that is the case, Liu Juntao will have to face the death-defying counterattack of hundreds of horse teams again, and there will be heavy casualties among his young men!
But when Liu Juntao led the crowd to Zhang Qiuzhen, he found that Zhang Qiuzhen was doing everything as usual, and the official road was full of pedestrians, and there was no tension before the war.
So, Liu Juntao ordered the brigade to stop a few miles outside Zhang Qiu Town to rest and recuperate, and first sent more than a dozen young men to inspect it.
At this time, Chen Ziping said: "Mr. Lian, it seems that there is no conflict on Zhang Qiuzhen's side, is it that Huo Qianhu cheated us, and he didn't come to clear the Chen family horse team at all?" ”
This is exactly what Liu Juntao is most worried about!
If Huo Qianhu didn't attack at all, it was very likely that the Chen family horse team would raid the Yushan Guard, and then something would have happened!
But after thinking about it, Liu Juntao shook his head again and said, "Probably not!" Since Huo Qianhu has set off with his troops, he will definitely keep his promise! ”
Although Liu Juntao is still a little worried, he is still confident in the preparations he made in advance.
Really!
It didn't take long for more than a dozen young men who went to inquire about the news to rush back, accompanied by Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen.
As soon as they met, Hu Dexing asked with concern: "I said Brother Juntao, you came back late enough!" Is the Chen family's cooking clean? ”
Next to him, Chen Ziping, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen greeted each other one by one, while Liu Juntao smiled and said, "Brother Hu, don't worry, the Chen family is finished!" The head of the family, Chen Herui, the housekeeper Xu He, and the martial artist Chen Bin, none of them ran, and they have already been served by me! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Juntao leaned into Hu Dexing's ear and whispered; "And the capture and capture of the Chen family, I have already asked Zhou Zongsheng to send it back to Yushanji first!"
Hu Dexing was relieved when he heard this, and excitedly pulled Liu Juntao and said, "Juntao! We've won this battle! From now on, I look at Yanzhou Mansion, no! It's Shandong! Who would dare to go against our Yushan set! ”
Liu Juntao was also happy when he heard this, and he laughed loudly, and then asked, "Can Lord Qianhu be in Zhangqiu Town?" ”
"In! At! ”
Hu Dexing said with a smile: "Lord Qianhu is in Zhang Qiu Town, and he has been waiting for a long time. ”
Liu Juntao asked, "What happened to the Chen family's horse team?" Have you ever clashed with the soldiers and horses of the Thousand Households? ”
"Conflict? Haha, Jun Tao, you can put a hundred hearts, before the soldiers and horses of the Thousand Households arrived in Zhangqiu Town, the leader of the Chen family's horse team learned the news, they didn't have the courage to fight with the official army at all, and they just ran away! ”
"What! Did the Chen family horse team run away? ”
Chen Ziping couldn't hold back when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Hu, where did the Chen family's horse team go!" ”
"Haha! With the officers and soldiers of the Thousand Households here, how could they let the Chen family's horse team run away? ”
Hu Dexing said with a smile, and Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen next to him also laughed, which made Chen Ziping a little embarrassed.
Hu Dexing continued: "Lord Qianhu sent me with Sun Xu, Meng Fanchen and a few other subordinates to Zhang Qiuzhen first, announced on the spot that the Chen family was plotting rebellion, and ordered the hundreds of Chen family horses to immediately disarm and surrender, otherwise they will be punished as accomplices!" In a few moments, the hundreds of horses were my prisoners on the spot! ”
Hearing this, Chen Ziping breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped talking, while Liu Juntao was shocked, he never expected that the Chen family horse team, which was rampant in Yanzhou Mansion and Zhangde Mansion, would surrender directly in the face of the official army, and there was no heart to resist!
"It seems that no matter how strong the folk are, it is just a hero! It is impossible to confront the official army, after all, the official army represents the imperial court and is orthodox! ”
Liu Juntao sighed: "After all, it is not a troubled time, it is still a peaceful person, it seems that if you want to develop and grow, you still have to find a way to enter the official mansion!" ”
"Brother Hu, where are the hundreds of Chen family horse teams now?"
Hu Dexing said: "Hundreds of members of the Chen Family's horse team are all in Zhangqiu Town, and they have been detained by the Lord of Qianhu. ”
At this time, Hu Dexing also said in a deep voice: "Jun Tao, I see that Lord Qianhu is quite interested in the riders of the hundreds of Chen family's horse team, and he has a great plan to earn under his command, Jun Tao, if you also have this intention, you had better be prepared!" ”
After hearing this, Liu Juntao couldn't help but be taken aback.
Liu Juntao did have the intention of bringing hundreds of Chen Jiama teams and the more than 600 captives under his command, if Huo Qianhu also had this intention at this time, then he would have a conflict with Huo Qianhu, which was not a good thing for Liu Juntao!
Thinking of this, Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Brother Hu, I will pay attention to this matter!" ”
After speaking, Chen Ziping asked, "Mr. Lian, shall we enter the town now?" ”
Liu Juntao waved his hand and said, "Of course! ”
"Since Lord Qianhu has been waiting for us for a long time, how can I stop here?"
After speaking, Liu Juntao led everyone into Zhangqiu Town, and on the way, Hu Dexing also told Liu Juntao the specific details of the capture of the Chen family's horse team, so that Liu Juntao could take the lead in the negotiations with Huo Qianhu.
However, when everyone came to Zhang Qiu Town, they were stopped by Dong Baihu under Huo Qianhu.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning, and his face was a little ugly.
Seeing this, Chen Ziping stepped forward to say that Hu Dexing was worried that the two sides would make a big deal because of the quarrel, so he stopped Chen Ziping and stepped forward to negotiate.
"Jun Tao is not the Chen family, he is the master who dares to do anything, but he can't let Jun Tao and Huo Qianhu form a bond!"
Hu Dexing secretly muttered in his heart, so he walked up to Dong Baihu and said, "Lord Baihu, what does this mean?" ”
"The Lord of a Thousand Households has an order! Zhang Qiu found the Chen family's anti-thieves in the town, and the whole town needs to be under martial law, and it is best not to enter the town with a brigade like Liu Lian, so as not to let the people in the town see a misunderstanding and have any accidents! ”
"Accident?"
Chen Ziping looked at Dong Baihu's domineering appearance, and couldn't help it anymore, so he said loudly: "Then please ask Lord Baihu to tell me to wait, my people from Yushanji have driven into Zhangqiu Town, what accidents can happen!" ”
"How daring!"
Dong Baihu was about to have a seizure when he heard this, but suddenly saw Liu Juntao staring at him, and he couldn't help but panic, so he smiled and said: "Liu Lian Zong Haihan, I was also ordered by Lord Qianhu, and I can't help myself!" ”
"What a body!"
Liu Juntao said loudly: "Dong Baihu said, what else do you have to explain?" ”
Hu Dexing next to him was also angry, glared at Dong Baihu and said: "What does Lord Qianhu mean, Lord Baihu has to make it clear!" ”
Looking at Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing, Dong Baihu was already panicked, and even spoke a little stumbling, and said: "I, Qian, Qianhu don't mean anything else, that is, I confessed not to let Liu Lian's people enter Zhang Qiu Town. Other than that, everything is negotiable. ”
Hearing this, Chen Ziping, Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen all changed their expressions, and several of them all lost their voices and said: "Jun Tao (Mr. Lian) can't be like this, Lord Qianhu must have other plans!" ”
Liu Juntao pondered for a moment, suddenly laughed, and said to everyone: "Since Lord Qianhu has arranged it like this, then I, Liu Juntao, will definitely obey my fate!" ”
After speaking, Liu Juntao ignored Chen Ziping's hard persuasion, and ordered him to lead the young men of his department to retreat five miles and station, and he only brought 21 personal guards into the town.
Seeing this, Hu Dexing was also so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "That's it! I'll accompany Juntao to you today! Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen also followed.
