The local army of Denglai was defeated, and no matter how the officers shouted and chased, those local army leaders refused to return. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers are not stupid: the soldiers and horses of the Duke of Jin have already defeated the Guanning army, and turning around to defeat the local army of Denglai is not the same as playing? When the time comes, the settlers will settle accounts after the autumn, and the soldiers' dedication to Shi Hanzhang, the governor of Denglai, will be a stain for a lifetime. Fleeing this hopeless army a moment earlier would have reduced the risk of being liquidated by the Duke of Jinguo.

Is it still in the Denglai army, waiting for the Tiger Ben army to come back and slaughter?

Twenty thousand local soldiers ran wildly on their legs, throwing away all the weapons and armor of inferior workmanship—the swords made by the craftsmen of those places were the work of cutting corners, and they were not strong and sharp enough to cut vegetables. Not to mention the unspeakably thin cotton armor. Since the rout is at this time, there is no need to keep these inferior equipment.

The generals of those local armies are also all elites. When they heard the news of Li Zhi's defeat of Guan Ningjun, they also secretly said that it was not good, and the soles of their feet were about to slip away. On the surface, they rode out to chase the rout, shouting and slashing, but in fact, they fled directly as soon as they ran away, and none of them came back to accept Shi Hanzhang's command.

Shi Hanzhang, who was originally hugging from the front and back, stood there and watched the officers "gather the rout", but the generals around him ran away one after another. In the end, except for a few civil officials and family members, they also stood with Shi Hanzhang, but there was not a single soldier or general by Shi Hanzhang's side.

Chen Wanxin, the governor of Guizhou, reacted first, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Shaft!" These shafts are all slipped! ”

It took a long time for Shi Hanzhang to react and understand that those generals and defeated soldiers would not come back. He led 20,000 Denglai troops to attack Dengzhou, and in the end it ended up being such a ridiculous ending?

Shi Hanzhang sighed embarrassedly, so he could only step on his military horse and take his family and a few civil officials and gentry to Qixia County in the south.

Shi Hanzhang's Denglai Army used Qixia as the distribution center of grain and grass, and Qixia can be regarded as Shi Hanzhang's base camp. There are not only the salaries of the Denglai army, but also more than 100 Shandong gentry.

In the second hall of the county government in Qixia County, celebrities and scholars from Shandong gathered together, all waiting for the news of Shi Hanzhang's victory in Dengzhou! Among these people, there are many officials who are famous for their careers, Jinshi, and people who are so rich that they have contributed the most money in this fund-raising campaign in Shandong.

Every other hour, a messenger who ran back from the Dengzhou battlefield went to the county government to report the situation on the front line.

At the beginning, the gentry were still shaking their heads and sighing for the long-term attack on Dengzhou. However, they are not too anxious, after all, Shandong is only a sub-battlefield of this "down-the-lee" movement. As long as the Guanning army that entered the customs defeated Li Zhi's tiger army, Shandong would sooner or later recover from Li Zhi's clutches.

However, when Shi Hanzhang and several civil officials returned to Qixia in a gray manner, the celebrities in Qixia were dumbfounded.

The Denglai army was completely defeated all at once? Not a single soldier left? Even the generals of the battalions of Denglai ran away?

Of course, what is even more shocking is the news from Luanzhou. Li Zhi actually defeated Guan Ningjun? More than 70,000 soldiers and horses of the Guanning army, known as the strongest army in the world, were defeated by Li Zhi as soon as they entered the pass?

Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are only 30,000, how can they be so strong?

At this moment, the Shandong scholars who thought they were sure to win were only full of surprise. Then this suspicion gradually precipitated and turned into fear, fear.

The gentry understood that it would not be long before Li Zhi would lead his troops back to Shandong. How will these gentry who pooled money to "pour Li" be treated by Li Zhi? With the reputation and style of Li Thief Killing Demon King, the result is self-evident.

The gentry became more and more frightened, and suddenly someone shouted: "Lord Futai! This place is not to stay for long! Li Zhi is afraid that he already knows about our fundraising to dump Li now, and his cavalry will come from Luanzhou in a few days! ”

Someone shouted in a trembling voice: "If Li Zhi catches us, this head will not be saved!" ”

Zhou Xuemu stood up suddenly, and said loudly in the second hall: "Everyone, at this time, we can't take care of the fields and houses, we might as well go home quickly to sort out the yellow, white and soft, and quickly go to Nanzhili to hide." It was only 900 miles from Yizhou to Nanzhili, and we passed as fast as possible, faster than Li Zhi in Luanzhou. ”

Denglai Governor Shi Hanzhang listened to Zhou Xuemu's words, and his face turned pale. The gentry can hide in Nanzhili, where is he hiding in the dignified governor? At this time, sitting down and thinking about it carefully, Shi Hanzhang knew that Li Zhi, who had returned from a big victory, would definitely not let him go. Even the Son of Heaven will not let himself go, even if he hides to the ends of the earth, he will be caught.

He regretted more and more that he had organized a "reverse lee" operation. was supposed to be a good governor, how could he make such a big thing?

Shi Hanzhang was remorseful there, and Chen Wanxin said loudly: "Futai, now, the only way to go is to go!" What about Futai? ”

Shi Hanzhang thought about it, and his face was bloodless. He waved his hand and said sadly, "Go!" Quickly walk to Nanzhili to avoid the limelight! ”

Hearing Shi Hanzhang's words, the gentry in the second hall all stood up, and they wanted to quickly go back to their homes in various states and counties to get the silver.

But before everyone reached the second hall, they saw a Shi family running in in a panic. The man tripped on the threshold of the second hall and fell to the ground with a thud. However, he was extremely loyal, and he didn't care about the pain, so he shouted at Shi Hanzhang when he lay on the ground: "Master, run, the secret guard of the Li thief is coming to arrest someone!" ”

As if to verify the words of this family, a few gunshots suddenly rang out at the main gate of the county government. Obviously, Li Zhi's secret guards were too lazy to talk to the family and the servants anymore, and rushed in with guns.

Shi Hanzhang only felt a chill down his spine. He slammed up from his chair and walked to the back door of the county office without looking back.

The gentry were colorless one by one, and followed Shi Hanzhang to the back door.

However, they only walked a dozen steps, and one by one they retreated.

Han Jinxin, the "ambassador of the secret guards", wore a royal flying fish suit, a black gauze hat, an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and black and white-bottomed soap boots, and entered the county office from the back door with more than 30 secret guards. The guards were armed with short guns and forced all the gentry who tried to escape back to the second hall of the county government.

Shi Hanzhang regressed step by step and walked back to the second hall backwards. After he entered the second hall, he turned his head to look ahead, and sure enough, more than fifty Tianjin secret guards with short guns rushed in from the direction of the main gate, and he was already unable to escape.

Han Jinxin walked into the second hall, touched the embroidered spring knife scabbard on his waist, laughed, and said: "It's really a gathering of sages, I didn't expect to be served by this official, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Shi Hanzhang couldn't care about decency anymore, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Han let us go to the hundred gentry, and we will each pay 10,000 silver to ask Lord Han to raise his noble hand and let us go to Nanzhili." More than 100 people are more than 1 million taels of silver, and Lord Han can't spend it in his life! ”

Han Jinxin seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in the world, and raised his head and laughed.
