Chapter 39: The Tide Rises on the River-16

The reason why the old fox is here starts from a few days ago.

After the Battle in the Mist, Song Yang had to rush home to discuss with his old father in order to deal with possible investigations and even revenge from the imperial court.

After listening to his son's report, the old fox angrily slapped the tea bowl in his hand on his head, and then scolded and said, "You are a fool! Those disguised Han soldiers want to spy on intelligence, you let him spy and let him investigate! I don't believe it, who dares to chew the root of the tongue in our territory? When he found the person he was looking for, it was estimated that three to five days would have passed. Besides, what if you find it? Their sneaky actions will not easily gain the trust of the people. It will take time to convince the people. There are these ten days and eight days, whether you ambush them, or go to Liang Hu to explain, it's all too late! But it's good for you to fight now, if you fight a battle, you won't be self-defeating! And you didn't do things well, and you even let the officer who led the team run away! What is it that you say you are not stupid! ”

It is rare that the old fox's condition has improved recently, and he can say so many words in one breath. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to dissect and understand his foolish son.

Song Yang only reacted now, without this battle, their Song family is boiling with public resentment and plotting against them, with this battle, it is not a plot to misbehave, it is a direct misfortune.

After thinking about this, Song Yang was also very remorseful, but what was the use? Everything has been done, and the only way to remedy it now is to do everything possible to prevent Leng Zheng from seeing Liang Hu alive.

So he said, "I will send more men to eliminate the evil!" ”

"No!" The old fox flatly refused, "You gather the family and guard our dock fort." I'll take people to do the things that are being pursued! ”

Song Yang was startled, and hurriedly said, "Father, your condition is still ......"

"Shut up!" The old fox interrupted him and said, "With a stupid son like you, I was already angry to death before I could die of illness!" ”

The old fellow got up angrily, and staggered past his son, who was kneeling on the ground with a wail, leaving only a last word of advice: "If neither I nor your brother or I come back, then you will act ahead of time and set yourself up as king!" ”

"Father!" Song Yang let out another wail. He knew what that meant, and his elderly father had prepared for the worst.

The old fox ignored him, and just walked out of the house to board the bus under the service of his own students. In view of his condition, he could not see the wind, so he could only ride in a thickly wrapped carriage. After a day, this particular carriage and the deployment of the gathered were successful in making peace with the leader of the Yue Clan. The whole team was then divided into three groups by the old fox and pursued alternately to maintain pressure on the fleeing man.

This pressure quickly exhausted the physical strength of Leng Zheng and the others, and they could only hide in the mountains and forests, so there was the battle in the mountains. During this period, Guan Yu, Suning and others showed combat effectiveness that made him feel very surprised!

The death of the leader of the Yue clan has greatly reduced the morale of his side. In desperation, the old fox could only adjust his strategy. He knew that as long as he sent the Yueshi people on horseback, he would bring out the cruel side in their blood.

His strategy, at the cost of a student's life, was a success. The pursuit for more than ten miles in a row almost made Suning and others have no way to escape.

The sick old fox gritted his teeth and endured the bumps of the carriage, and insisted on following closely on the front line in order to observe the situation at the first time. But he still ignored Liang Hu's thin figure.

Teacher Liang is not very well nourished, probably because he drank too much in the northwest wind of Liangzhou, and when he greeted Suning and the others and guided them around the woods, he was not discovered by the old fox.

If the old fox was aware of it, he would naturally know that someone was coming to meet them, so how could he not care that there might be an ambush ahead.

When the vanguard confronted Suning and the others, the old fox thought that they had caught up with each other. Listening to their shouts of excitement, everyone would think that they were only a stone's throw away from victory.

The follow-up troops obviously thought the same way, and they didn't wait for the old fox's order to catch up and rush to help, only to be turned into a hedgehog by Lu Yi. At that time, many people were blindfolded, even including Suning, who was fighting, but the old fox was a person with a heart like a stone, he was not shocked by this, but responded as soon as possible!

Ordered the Yue's cavalry to turn over and dismount and march into the forest, in the eyes of others, he lost his strengths. However, this forest controls the pursuit route, and it cannot continue to advance without uprooting, and this is not a mountain, just a forest on the plain, and only sparse trees can block bows and arrows, not all kinds of ravines and boulders.

However, the old fox met an opponent this time, a Xiping man who had traveled in Liangzhou for a long time.

For the possibility of various changes in the Qianghu cavalry, Lu Yi has long been prepared. So when the old fox brought him a delicious meal, he smiled without hesitation.

When the sea of fire devoured the woods, and at the same time devoured most of the Huangzhong Righteous Followers, the old fox realized that his wisdom might be beyond its expiration date.

After that, although he continued to face life and death with indifference, he had to remind himself to move forward steadily.

They slowly walked around the woods, regrouping a hundred paces across the hill. During this time, he closely observed the movement on the other side, but Koji Yoshiki did not attack.

However, the stupid son of the old fox brought him a heavy blow.

Song Jian came in a hurry, not because the news of Leng Zheng's attack had spread all over the city of Ji County, making him the object of suspicion, but because Suning's counterattack was launched shortly after Liang Hu left the city.

Wei Qi witnessed the whole process excitedly. First of all, Sun Jianai ignored everyone's dissuasion, insisted on sending the draft to Zizi immediately, and added news about Leng Zheng's attack. Later, the Jiang brothers sent people to sell the printed newspapers on the street. The children who had previously signed up for school became the main force under the leadership of Ma Chao. They learned the routine of peddling fruit from vendors, and shouted on the street, during which Sun Jianai also gave some guidance.

After all, he is an educator who has seen modern newspapers, and it didn't take long for him to train many Republican-level newsboys for the Eastern Han Dynasty. The sound of "outside the number" instantly flooded Ji County, and the entire Hanyang County soon learned about the newspaper "Reuters".

Picking up the sheepskin bag and drinking a few sips of water to moisten his throat, Ma Chao continued to shout on the street: "The inaugural issue of "Reuters", the captain of Huqiang was attacked, and his life and death are unknown! ”

"New crops, 1,000 catties per mu!"

"Wool weaving, good for the country and the people!"

"The content is rich and the price is cheap, only ten dollars!"

He was shouting vigorously, but he saw a man running up to him with a roar, shoved a handful of five baht coins into his hand, grabbed a newspaper and ran back.

That person was Zhao Si, and as for the newspaper he bought, it was naturally delivered to Song Jian quickly. After reading the content, the number three person of the Song family instantly realized the danger. If the circulation of "The Book of Sins" is still limited to the market and has not attracted official attention, then the attack on Leng Zheng will inevitably attract the investigation of the imperial court!

The former can also find excuses to quibble, and with the guarantee and support of various families, he may really be able to carry it through. However, once the matter of Leng Zheng is known to everyone, the government must give public opinion a result, otherwise many people will feel that the government is weak and can be bullied. At that time, Liangzhou, which is already chaotic, will fall into an even more chaotic situation.

Under this situation, his Song family is likely to become the target of Liang Hu and Leng Zheng to kill chickens and monkeys.

He didn't dare not tell his father about such fear.

So the newspaper came into the hands of the old fox.

The hands like withered branches trembled on the paper, and the strong and powerful italic characters had turned into a sword in his field of vision, penetrating the old fox's heart.

"The Song clan of the Han Dynasty built a fortress to kill the soldiers, stored money and grain to gather the Qianghu, and when the government was in the government, the yang and the yin were violated, and the people were expropriated and extorted...... It was the late school captain Leng Zheng who went to investigate, but he was attacked unexpectedly, and his life and death are still unknown...... Let's ask who doesn't want to survive Leng Zheng, who doesn't want to thoroughly investigate Caohan, only Song Jiaer...... Today, we know the sharpness of the Song family's minions, and the Han family's border army will not be spared, and today we know the arrogance of the Song family, and the court officials must not let go of ......"

There was still a lot of content behind, but he didn't read it, but turned his gaze to the sky, and after a long time, he asked his son: "You mean, this kind of newspaper is sold on the street, so isn't our Song family's plot already known to the world?" ”

Song Jian hesitated for a long time before he dared to continue: "I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid yes......"

The old fox was no longer talking. He looked at Liang Hu opposite, Leng Zheng opposite, Suning opposite, and ...... opposite

"Get me out of the car!" He didn't finish reading them one by one, but shouted to his son, "Quick! ”

Song Jian didn't know what his father was going to do, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders.

So he quickly stepped forward to help his critically ill old father get out of the car, but he heard his father take the opportunity to whisper in his ear: "I helped you plan before, and after I die, you will sit firmly in the position of the head of the Song family, and it will not be too late to report recovery." It's a pity, you can't wait, you can't wait to get revenge, and you can't wait for me to die! ”

Song Jian was frightened by his words, he couldn't wait to take revenge, but he didn't want his father to die.

However, the old fox seems to have already decided something. With the last bit of strength in his body, he pulled out Song Jian's saber with his right hand, and dragged Song Jian's arm with his left hand.

With a snort, the sword pierced through the fox's skin, through the fox's flesh, and through the fox's heart.

At the same time, one of Song Jian's hands was pressed against the hilt of the sword. He saw his father's fox blood flowing down the blade, slowly covering the hilt and staining his own hands.

Song Jian was frightened, he hurriedly wanted to break free, but he was held by the fox's left hand! The left hand of Liangzhou Jin, who once tore tigers and leopards and walked dragons and snakes, is now holding his son's hand, holding the sword given to his son, and inserting it into his chest!

"Father!" Song Jian wept bitterly and couldn't stand on his knees.

But the old fox ignored him.

Liang Hu's hands were trembling in the distance, and so was Leng Zheng. They vaguely saw what was happening on the other side, and they also noticed that the dying fox was looking at it.

Suddenly, the fox began its final howl: "Liang Thorn Shi, Captain Leng!" I raised a good son who was loyal to the Han family. ”

Su Ning was slightly stunned, if your son is loyal to the Han family, Wang Mang's coffin board will not be able to hold it.

But I heard the old fox continue: "The old man wants to rebel and want to kill Captain Leng, but this stupid boy doesn't agree!" What did you say that I just taught him a few days ago to be loyal to the Son of Heaven! ”

"Well said!"

"That's a good wow!"

"Not only is it well said, but it is also well killed! What a righteous annihilation! ”

"What a ...... Yi...... Extinguish ......"

With a plop, the old fox fell into the dust before he could finish speaking.

Only then did Suning and Liang Hu react. The old fox has memorized all the charges, and given his son a counterinsurgency merit!

In this way, although he is dead, as the son of a hero, he will continue to live, and one day, everything that the Song family has lost today, his son will take it back!

Except for his life!
