Zhang Jun is different from Ma Fangyu, Zhang Jun secretly signaled Ma Fangyu and Li Che to leave the camp, of course, to let these two people contain the soldiers and horses of the Wansheng Army for themselves, so that their men and horses can leave safely.

Of course, Zhang Jun would not be stupid enough to wait for Wan Shengjun to notice the defection of the Pingzhou army on the two roads before leaving, an hour earlier than Li Che and Ma Fangyu, Zhang Jun had already let his infantry go on the road first. With his own right-hand men, only here in Zunhua City slightly bypassed to the north, and when it was five miles away from the city, more than 2,000 infantry troops marched straight to the east around Jingzhong Mountain.

There were no torches along the way, only walking in the direction of the people in front of them in the night, and when they arrived at Dawangzhuang in the north of Jingzhong Mountain, which was the only passage from Zunhua to Anxi County, the infantry army set up a formation there, waiting for Zhang Jun to arrive with the cavalry, and then left the place of right and wrong together, and went away.

When there were faint fires and shouts from the south and west of Zunhua City, Zhang Jun had already led more than 2,000 cavalry troops to the east of the city. The city of Zunhua was crowded with people, the torches were extinguished, and it looked chaotic, and after a while, there was the sound of horses' hooves heading south.

"If General Ma can defect to the Southern Dynasty and settle in a good place, he will never forget my benefits. Hehe. Zhang Jun looked in the direction of Zunhua City and said, "Since Wanshengjun has no time to come to bid farewell to me, there is no need to wait, let's go!" ”

Seeing Zhang Jun riding eastward, these cavalry troops also followed with their horses and left Zunhua City.

Along the official road to the east, gradually into the mountains, the north and south sides are full of mountains. There is only one mountain road that zigzags to the northeast, and suddenly turns to the southeast, and this is Dawangzhuang.

The infantry army that left an hour in advance had been in formation on this mountain road for a long time, and when they saw that their own horses had arrived, they made way for Zhang Jun and others to pass. Zhang Jun didn't dare to stay, these infantry troops had already rested for a while, so they withdrew from the mountain road, and the horses and infantry rushed down the mountain along the mountain road that turned sharply.

By the time the sky was slightly clear, I could already see the town in front of me from a distance. The soldiers around him said to Zhang Jun: "General, on the south bank of the Luan River in front, it is the big town of Anxi County, isn't it ......?"

Zhang Jun understood the meaning of the soldier under him, the army marched all night, did not bring food and grass, tired and hungry, naturally wanted to find a place to rest and rest. Zhang Jun looked at the big town in front of him, this town happened to guard the official road, and it was close to the Luanhe River, which was a traffic artery. Zhang Jun shook his head, he beckoned the two soldiers to come over, and said: "Go up along the west bank of the Luan River, find a village, not too big, just enough for the army to eat a full meal." ”

Although the two soldiers were a little puzzled, they still agreed, and rode back into the mountains to the north.

After a short time, the two soldiers rode back and reported to Zhang Jun: "General, not far from the mountains to the north, there is a cottage with two or three hundred families in it, which is enough for the army to eat. ”

Zhang Jun nodded and motioned for the army to follow the two soldiers into the mountain. After walking about three miles on the mountain road, there is indeed a cottage, and there is a simple wall built outside the cottage, and there are faint people moving inside.

Zhang Jun ordered: "Fence the cottage, no one is allowed to escape, and let these people prepare meals for the army." ”

As Zhang Jun's men and horses broke into the cottage, the usually quiet cottage suddenly jumped and cried, mixed with the terrible shouts of people, and the sound of scolding and whipping of the Pingzhou army. It took more than half an hour before it gradually quieted down, thinking that it was these Pingzhou soldiers who subdued the mountain people in the village and let these mountain people start cooking for them.

The men in the cottage have all been gathered by the Pingzhou army and taken to the square in the center of the village to be taken care of, and the people and horses of the Pingzhou army are standing around.

After a while, the women who were forced to cook for the Pingzhou army in the stockade came over with food, and the soldiers of the Pingzhou army, who were not in a hurry, immediately pounced on them and began to scramble for food, like wolves that had caught their prey, tearing and biting the poor prey.

There was not enough food, so the women had to rush back to make another meal, so that the bandit-like soldiers could eat and leave.

After a few trips back and forth to deliver food, these Pingzhou troops were finally full, and there were soldiers who saw a beautiful woman who moved their hearts, and regardless of the people around them, they reached out and dragged the woman in front of them, and they wanted to move their hands and feet.

Seeing that the woman was about to be humiliated, she was anxious and angry, and cried, Zhang Jun heard it on the side, walked over, and shouted: "Let go of the woman!" ”

When the soldier saw Zhang Jun speak, he had to let go of the woman stupidly. Zhang Jun said loudly: "The army has just walked out of the Zunhua realm, and the chasing soldiers behind are coming in a blink of an eye, and they are not out of danger yet, how can they be so profligate?" ”

When these people in the cottage heard Zhang Jun say this, they only said that they had met a good person and could avoid a catastrophe. Zhang Jun turned over and said loudly: "In order to prevent the enemy from catching up, bring everyone in this cottage here." ”

The soldiers brought the rest of the women and children in the village according to their words, Zhang Jun saw that the people had been brought, and ordered with a cruel smile: "Shoot the arrows to death, and leave no one behind!" ”

The 5,000 soldiers immediately took out their bows and arrows and fired them at the men, women, and children in the square. Only then did these mountain people know that they had been deceived, and in the midst of their cries, some of them wanted to escape, and they were immediately hacked to death with knives by the soldiers standing outside. Many more were killed by arrows.

For a time, there was a river of blood on the ground, and corpses were strewn all over the ground.

Seeing that there was no longer a living mouth in the square, Zhang Jun waved his hand and shouted: "Set fire to it!" ”

The soldiers immediately took out the fire fold, found firewood and dry branches, piled them on the square, and set fires everywhere, and suddenly the fire in the village was everywhere, Zhang Jun led people to withdraw from the cottage, chose a slightly smooth mountain road, and hurriedly fled east in the mountain.

On the hillside, two people got up from behind the rocks they had just taken refuge from, looked at the fire in the village below the mountain, and knew that they could not be saved. One of them scolded in a low voice: "Brute! What a jackal! ”

The other also sighed and said, "I just hate you and I can't save these mountain people." Only when the army catches up in the future, then kill these beasts and avenge them. ”

"Second Brother Sun, go back and report to the lord of Dazhai, send someone to catch up with this Pingzhou army first, and save yourself from harming other people." The man who spoke first said.

"Good! I'll go back and call someone. It's just you, but you have to be careful, and don't act recklessly, just keep an eye on it. The other reassured.

"Then the two of us will say goodbye." The person who spoke led a horse not far away, took the reins of the horse, and walked down the steep mountain road in the direction of those Pingzhou troops. The man behind him stopped any longer, and led his horse down the hill to the west.
