Chapter 5: Sudden Changes in the Storm Section 50

The sound of the horn of the charge suddenly appeared in the sky above Yecheng, becoming clearer and clearer.

Yan Liang slashed down the enemy with a knife, looked back and roared: "Brothers, the reinforcements have entered the city, they have entered the city, kill ......"

Tannu spat a mouthful of blood on the ground and shouted, "Tiger Head, you crazy man, you want to die." ”

"Shrink the defense, shrink the ......"

"Brothers, hold on and wait for reinforcements, shrink intensively......" Tannu shouted wildly while covering the retreat of his comrades, "Everyone withdraw, withdraw quickly......"

The machete lay under the base of the wall, holding a shield in his hand, and laughed loudly: "If you dare to oppose our black panther, go to death." With all his strength, he sounded the horn for help.

Under the command of Tannu, the righteous soldiers quickly contracted the formation, and soon formed an impermeable barrel-shaped formation. The shield soldiers are outside, the axe men are in it, and the crossbowmen are shooting at will in the back, and the battle array is squeezed into a small space, impregnable.

The thieves who commanded the attack and the guards who attacked frantically heard the horns of the bull in the city from far and near, they saw the crisis, smelled the blood, and attacked more and more fiercely. The small courtyard was overcrowded for a while, the shouting and killing sound was earth-shattering, the eyes were full of swords and sword shadows, the arrows in the air were like rain, and the piercing roar made people's souls fly.

Yan Liang roared in front of the battle, rampage, and fought fiercely, he did his best to rescue several of his subordinates who were besieged by the enemy, and covered their smooth retreat into the battle formation, but he himself was surrounded by the enemy. He killed so many people that he became the first target of all enemies.

Although he was only five steps away from the defensive position, he was stabbed several times, and he was already struggling, and he was unable to kill him at all.

Before he died, a tall strong man plunged a spear into Yan Liang's thigh. Yan Liang, stimulated by the cone-like pain, opened his mouth and let out a heart-rending scream, which also inspired his most primitive ferocity.

"Kill ......" Yan Liang suddenly had infinite strength, pulled out a spear in one hand, and held a knife in the other, like a god, let out an earth-shattering shout, "Kill ......"

Suddenly blood splattered, screams erupted, severed limbs and stumps trembled and groaned in the air, and the killing was even more tragic.

===

Jiang Wu rushed to the mansion with five hundred iron horsemen at the fastest speed.

Jiang Wu tightened the war horse, and the war horse raised its front legs in a painful neigh, and its huge body almost stood upright.

"Brothers, kill in, kill in......" Jiang Wu shouted while raising his sword, and flew off his horse and shot into the gate of the mansion like a long arrow.

The righteous soldiers shouted loudly and marched in from behind. More soldiers mounted close to the wall and climbed straight into it.

Although the enemy in the first courtyard resisted desperately, they could not hold up more and more righteous soldiers, and they were immediately cut down. Jiang Wu was the first to enter the second courtyard.

At the sound of Tannu's order, the formation split, and nearly two hundred angry righteous soldiers shouted, like tigers out of a cage, and slaughtered into the enemy group with their teeth and claws.

The guards besieging the Black Panther Righteous Servants fought hard under the command of the thief Cao, and everyone was entangled in an unprecedentedly fierce battle. The sound of killing in the government shook the sky.

Several righteous soldiers who crossed the wall cooperated with each other, killed several people in a row, and quickly surrounded the thief Cao Cao, who was a strong martial artist. The man was already very tired after a long battle, and under the siege of several war knives, he was a little in a hurry, and the slightest negligence was immediately hit in the abdomen by the follow-up crossbowmen. In an instant, several war knives roared down, and suddenly chopped the thief Cao into several pieces.

The enemy lost command and immediately fell into disarray, and many guards fled into the garden, fleeing in all directions.

The black panther swept up from behind with a roar like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and the momentum was terrifying.

Yan Liang lost too much blood, staggered and barely stood on his spear, and was no longer able to chase, he raised his knife and shouted: "Kill them, kill them for me, don't let any of them go." ”

===

Wang Fen heard the sound of the horn sounding everywhere in the palace, and was extremely desperate.

He didn't expect Li Hong's subordinates to enter the city so quickly. The Black Panther was quickly supported and could immediately search and arrest the government, and many of the evidence of rebellion hidden in the government was too late to be destroyed.

He thought of the many people who followed him, the protégés who followed him were about to be arrested and beheaded, and his heart ached as if he had been chopped out.

He hated Li Hong and gritted his teeth. A murderous barbarian sabotaged his great cause of eradicating the traitorous eunuchs, reviving the dynasty, and revitalizing the Han Dynasty, and a golden opportunity was taken away by Li Hong in this way.

The shouts of killing are getting closer.

Wang Fen waved away a few guards who followed him, and walked into the hall alone.

===

Zhao Yun quickly surrounded the government with iron horses.

He hurried into the courtyard and saw the machete lying near the base of the wall.

"Are you seriously injured?"

"It's fine." The machete grinned with teeth, "The tiger head was saved quickly, and he was not killed by the enemy, but he was wounded a little flesh and skin." ”

"How many brothers have you lost?"

The machete looked around and said sadly, "There are about 100 people." ”

Zhao Yun's face was cold, and he suddenly rushed up angrily, and stepped forward and shouted: "Scatter around, don't kill you!" ”

===

Jiang Wu kicked open the door of the conference hall, and the soldiers who followed him swarmed in.

Wang Fen sat quietly behind the desk without raising her head.

"He's dead." A righteous soldier reached out to probe Wang Fen's snort and said loudly.

"He died of poisoned wine." Another soldier picked up the wine on the table and sniffed it, and said hatefully, "We just drank it, we are a step slower." ”

Jiang Wu gritted his teeth and beckoned: "Go, arrest all the people in the mansion and leave." ”

===

Zhao Yun and Yan Liang stood in front of Wang Fen's corpse with solemn faces.

"Wang Fen committed suicide, and many things have died without proof." Yan Liang sighed and said helplessly, "The most unfortunate thing is that Bi Lan's traitorous eunuch also died. When this news reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, we were all more or less guilty. ”

"yes." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "We have been in Jizhou for a month, not only did we not properly solve the security matter, but also let the rebel kill a Hou Ye, this matter will definitely be impeached by the traitor." ”

"Impeachment is impeachment, anyway, Bi Lan is dead, and there are more happy people." Yan Liang said, "The key now is to collect evidence of Wang Fen's rebellion. ”

"Wang Fen has several henchmen, and they all directly participated in the plan." Zhao Yun said, "Xu You is the most important one among them, and Wang Fen has told him to do many things. Before leaving, the adults repeatedly instructed him to be caught. ”

Yan Liang's face changed, and he said eagerly: "He is not in the mansion, he has returned to his residence." “

"How do you know?" Zhao Yun asked strangely.

"He was detained in the barracks by me for the other day." Yan Liang explained, "I took him back to the city today, and he said that he wanted to go back to bathe and change clothes, so he left first, and did not follow me into the mansion." ”

"I'll get him." Zhao Yun said, "Now that the city gates are closed, forgive him for his wings." ”

Zhao Yun turned around and ran away.

===

Several righteous soldiers escorted Tao Gao into the lobby.

Tao Gao saw that Wang Fen had committed suicide, and the remains were still sitting on the seat, and he couldn't help but feel like a knife. He fell to his knees and kowtowed a dozen times in a row, tears raining down.

"My lord, this is the list of the history of the government." A soldier handed a scroll of books and said.

"There is still a part of the history of Pengshi in Jizhou Mansion in Gaoyi City." Yan Liang took the book, didn't open it, and asked the soldier directly, "Have you asked clearly who followed Wang Fen to Yecheng?" ”

"Nope." The soldier pointed at Tao Gao and said, "This person doesn't want to say. ”

Yan Liang limped up to Tao Gao, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Tao Qiuhong, you'd better say everything you need to say, otherwise you'll ......"

"Isn't it just to kill the Nine Clans?" Tao Gao said disdainfully, "I dare to even do something to rebel, and I'm afraid of killing the Nine Clans." He pointed to his head and shouted, "Don't ask, kill me." ”

Yan Liang was furious, his thick eyebrows tightened, and his right hand involuntarily grabbed the handle of the knife.

"Zishan, Zishan, someone has recruited, someone has recruited." Jiang Wufei rushed over, "Let's go, let's go." ”

The sound of the horns of the assembled bull horns sounded almost simultaneously inside and outside the palace.

The two thousand iron cavalry were divided into more than a dozen squads, rampage through Yecheng, and began a large-scale search.

====================

Zhang Zhang, about thirty years old, was tall and thin, with deep-set cheeks, high cheekbones, and a pair of gloomy eyes, and looked very shrewd and capable.

He used to be a disciple of He Mansion, his martial arts were very good, and he was also very loyal to He Jin, and handled a lot of tricky things for He Jin, and won He Jin's trust. After He Jin soared to the top, he has been with him and is He Jin's confidant. He Jin is also good to him, and he vigorously supports him. Now he is a military commander in the Vietnamese cavalry battalion of the Northern Army.

He saw that Xu Yu was the only one who arrived in Wucheng, and his clothes were wet and embarrassed, and he knew that something was wrong.

"Lord Xu, what happened to Yecheng?"

"Immediately send fast horses, rush to Luoyang day and night, and tell the general to close the door and send off the guests." Xu You was out of breath and said with a blue face, "Hurry, hurry ......"

Zhang Zhangfei rushed out of the house. After a short time, he hurried back again.

"Lord Xu, do you want to change into clean clothes?" Zhang Zhang asked with concern.

"It's too late, it's not going to change. We immediately left the city and rushed to Liyang overnight to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"The Changshui camp is under Li Hong's control." Xu You said to Zhang Zhang as he walked out, "Today they suddenly returned to Yecheng, and now they are being arrested in the whole city." Wang Fen is finished, the matter in Jizhou has been exposed, we must immediately go south to sweep away the traces, so as not to get into trouble. ”

"What about Brother Zhongfu? Is he still staying in Yecheng? Zhang Zhang hurriedly asked.

"The city gates are all under the control of Liu Ming of the Changshui Battalion, where can I escape?" Xu You wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a miserable smile, "Fortunately, Zhongfu lowered me from the city wall with a rope, otherwise I would have been finished." I swam across the moat, and I ran twenty or thirty miles in one go, and I was going to die of exhaustion. ”

"Lord Xu, can you hold on?"

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on." Xu You grinned and said bitterly, "We're short on time." I put them in the city because I wanted them to make trouble in the city, and the longer the trouble, the better. If they chase down, they will be much faster than we are. ”

======================

It's dark. The torches in the government were bright, and the voices of the people were boiling.

Yan Liang endured the pain and sat in the lobby, and scolded angrily: "Xu You, this cunning thing. If he had run away, the news would have gotten out immediately. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and said cautiously: "Wang Fen is dead, we are already very passive, if we let Xiangkai and Chen Yi run away again, we will ......"

"We don't know where Xiang Kai and Chen Yi have gone now?" Jiang Wu said, "Although Zhou Jing said that they went south to pick up the king of Hefei, we don't know the route of their return journey. , even if you want to catch it, you can't catch it. ”

Several people were silent.

"Do you want to find a way?" Yan Liang said, "No matter what, we have to catch them, otherwise, how can we explain to adults?" ”

"Look, do you want to interrogate that Tao Gao severely?" Jiang Wu asked, "He probably knows." ”

"There must be only a limited number of people who know about this kind of secret thing." Tan Nu said angrily, "Wang Fen died well, as soon as he dies, we just need to stare dryly." In my opinion, let's search for Xu Yu in the whole city. Didn't Zilong say that this person is very important? Maybe Xu Yu knows. ”

"Brother Qiansi, you can also talk about it." Zhao Yun patted Liu Ming, who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

"Have you noticed, but many of the guards of the government who attacked Lord Commander today were impersonated by Xianbei and Karasuma people from Northern Xinjiang." Liu Ming groaned a little and said slowly, "There are also some of them that I don't look like the guards of the mansion. ”

Yan Liang and Tan Nu both nodded their heads again and again.

"Yes, yes, Lord Liu is right, these people have very high martial arts, and they don't look like the guards of Jizhou Mansion." Tan Nu said with trepidation, "If it weren't for your timely support today, we would be finished." ”

"Who does Lord Liu think they are?" Yan Liang asked, "Does this have anything to do with going south to capture Xiangkai?" ”

"I think it's from Dachido. I've heard from my teacher about Dazhitang, their disciples are generally martial arts, and many of them still consider themselves rangers. Liu Ming looked at everyone and said, "We should arrest the monks of Dazhitang, and there must be Xiangkai's henchmen among these monks." Think about it, Xiangkai goes south, what should I do about this Jizhou? He must leave a capable subordinate to assist Wang Fen. We'll arrest this man. ”

Yan Liang hesitated slightly, looked at the few people in front of him, and said: "At present, we don't have any definite evidence of Dazhitang's involvement, and at this time, suddenly arresting the disciples of Dazhitang is afraid that it will cause the anger of the people in the city, you see......"

"Then what is the reason for Lord Du Wei to arrest Xiangkai?" Liu Ming asked strangely.

"Xiangkai and Chen Yi secretly went south to meet the king of Hefei." Zhao Yun hurriedly explained, "We also heard this news from Zhou Jing, so Lord Li meant to let us catch it secretly." After all, Xiangkai's influence is very great, and we can't stir up public anger and stir up riots at this time, otherwise, the Son of Heaven will blame him, and none of us can afford it. More importantly, this matter involves the royal family, and we cannot but be extremely cautious. Zhao Yun said in a low voice, "If one is not handled well, not only will we lose our heads, but even Lord Li will also be in danger of his life." ”

Zhao Yun sighed, and then said, "Now, except for Zhou Jing being persuaded by adults, no one has spoken. Yuan Shu didn't speak, Tao Gao and Ku Chief didn't speak, Wang Fen died, Xu You ran away, although we roughly knew the inside story of the matter through Zhou Jing's confession, but the evidence we had at hand could only prove that Wang Fen was guilty, but we couldn't catch Xiangkai, let alone the king of Hefei. ”

"Do you know how serious the consequences are if you don't catch them?" Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and asked.

Everyone looked at Zhao Yun with puzzled eyes.

"Zilong, what did the adults say to you? Is there anything else in this? Jiang Wu asked anxiously, "If we can't catch them, at most we can hide some of Wang Fen's tricks, is there any serious consequence of this?" ”

"Whatever happens here will be passed on to Luoyang exactly as it is, and this is beyond our control." Zhao Yun said, "This is Jizhou, not our military camp. So, if we can't catch it, some people will accuse us of conniving at rebellion, and some people will even say that we are complicit in rebellion. It's nothing, anyway, Your Majesty trusts your lordship, and you won't be punished very severely. ”

"But what if they die?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked.

"Kill the king of Hefei." Jiang Wu stood up in surprise and said with a shocked face, "Who dares to kill the King of Hefei?" ”

"We." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "Only we will arrest him and kill him." Everyone in the world thinks so. ”

"It's a capital offense, a capital offense anyway." Yan Liang suddenly realized, "If the king of Hefei is dead, adults will have to die, and none of us will survive." ”

"Xiangkai and Chen Yi can kill him." Tannu jumped up and shouted, "If they turn black and white upside down and frame the Lord and the Yellow Turban Army for conspiring to rebel, even if the Lord has ten heads, it will not be enough to kill." ”

"It's not that simple." Liu Ming shook his head and said, "It's still Li Zhongyuan's thoughts." Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Xu You, you may not know the relationship between them, but I know that they were like brothers when they were young. Now you don't have to think about it to know who is behind this. ”

"It's still Li Zhongyuan and Xie Yongzhi who think more thoroughly than us, and they are more thoughtful than us." Zhao Yun shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for them this time, we might have to suffer a big loss." ”

Several people looked at each other, but no one made a sound.

"Since it's him, it's not easy to kill the King of Hefei." Jiang Wu sighed, "Then they will take advantage of this incident to take the opportunity to kill Master Li, and it will be a matter of effort." ”

Yan Liang stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "Someone is coming!" ”

"Assemble the iron cavalry, immediately arrest all the disciples of the Dazhi Hall, and don't miss a single one."
