Chapter 237: South of the Battle City (5)
In the night, shouts and threats and begging for mercy fell far away near the farm behind him, from time to time people were driven towards the city gate, horses ran back and forth, riders cheered and ridiculed and scolded, Huang Chang occasionally turned back, rode slowly, and on the side Shan Jing was communicating with two white horse servants who followed and walked together.
"Scared...... The pioneer fell to the ground, thinking he had been ambushed...... And they panicked. ”
"It's an ambush. Haha, it's just an ambush by one person. There was a hard guy who said that their handsome horse just moved, and he had an accomplice who quibbled and was killed by him in front of us...... Hey, these people are really a rabble, in addition to complaining and attacking each other, they also say that if they are there, the farm will be captured...... I have been thinking about relying on others, but I can't make it. ”
"It's strange that you can take it down, you can be scared to death by that Zhang Yide's roar. The sake bag and rice bag are also like ...... But the horse stumbled and became such a joke, and it was also the luck of those people. ”
"In fact, finding a few more people to explore the situation is not impossible to break this false reality...... Someone shouted dead, huh. ”
Shan Jing smiled, and then said suspiciously: "Say...... Who is Bu Ji? ”
"Who knows, we don't know each other with these moth thieves, but I know Qiu Liju, Suli, Lianhe, and Kebineng, the leaders of Wuhuan Xianbei Shan Yu, ......"
"It should be pretty impressive. Thirty-six Fang Qu Shuai has thousands of soldiers and horses, and he can be pushed out of various places to be the Qu Shuai to command these people, and there is always a bit of force. ”
"It's amazing, but in this way, I can privately listen to the people of Zhuo County boast that Liu Gongzi is the head of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he is still eight people...... Tsk, I hear people talk about this every day, and now I feel sick when I hear 'eight'. So Liu Gongzi is not invincible in the world? ”
"At least this bravery is unmatched...... However, it is said that there are 1,000 people, and only more than 200 people appeared...... Go back and be on guard. Brother Huang Chang and I hurried over to meet with the lord. Did anyone come over there? Okay? ”
"I'm waiting for a shot, what can go wrong? It's already set. Then he took his leave...... Alas, brother, which side of Bu Ji is Qu Shuai? Ever heard of it? What does it look like? ”
A white horse was just about to leave, when he suddenly looked at Huang Chang and asked.
Huang Chang tightened the reins and said with a dry smile: "A certain family doesn't know very well, maybe it's a wine bag and a rice bag, isn't it a retreat?" ”
"Haha, that's true. Originally, I wanted to catch a Qu Shuai and let a certain family also become an official, but it seems that there is no hope. But your father-in-law is a big problem for the moth thief, and you don't even have this preparation...... Uh, jokes. Went first. ”
The two white horses walked away, and the other person who stopped the man was still stumbling and still speaking, "You don't want to die?" Look at Liu Gongzi and his brothers, the sword mountain and the sea of fire have all broken through, and they dare to kill in the face of hundreds of people single-handedly tonight. His brothers must have the courage to do so......"
"Brother Shisun reminded ...... Hey? Wait, what are you afraid of, we have the lord on our heads......"
The voice was far away, and it was gradually inaudible, so he leaned over and said with a dry smile: "A bunch of rough men, Brother Huang Chang must not be surprised." ”
"It doesn't matter."
"Brother Huang Chang, your father-in-law is a big victory, why does a certain family see that you are not in high interest all the way, but you are worried about ......"
"I'll wait for the first step, it's been delayed for a while, and this is not the time to speak. Drive! ”
The horses galloped, Shan Jing was stunned, always feeling that the other party was complaining about his delay, but he didn't expect that there was such a loyal person under Liu Gongzi's command, so he also smiled and patted the horse forward.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at Zhuangfu, and they greeted Bai Ma Yicong along the way, and they probably knew that the moth thieves here had broken up after Bai Ma Yicong appeared.
It is said that those who made a detour originally tried to rush to the village to take hostages without believing in evil, and after a few people were broken by the rolling wooden trap, some people fled, and then they also dispersed, and now most of the people who were caught begged for mercy and were wronged, and those who escaped were also chased by the white horse who got off the horse from all over the mountains and ran away, and it really sounded like a group of rabble.
The two arrived at the gate of Dezhuang Mansion, at this time Gongsun Zhan Lu Zhi was chatting with a bloodied person, that person except for the face is clean, the other places are filthy, but there is no sign of serious injury and weakness, Shan Jing Fang also heard that this person is blocked at the crossing, single-handedly killed more than 30 people, killing the thieves are frightened for a while, at this time to see the other party talking and laughing, some admiration, and then leaned over to say hello, and Gongsun Chan explained the situation on Gongsun Yue's side.
"Since you cursed me, it should be Huang Shao."
Gongsun Zhan had just caught a few prisoners, and Liu Zheng also inquired about the situation, and then frowned, "Bu Ji didn't show up, Brother Bo Jue, you have to be cautious." ”
"Xu really wants to turn the tiger away from the mountain."
Lu Zhi also frowned.
At this time, the three of them had already thought of everything, Gongsun Zhan, as the county guard, knew that the thieves were in trouble, and the county government was naturally guarded by heavy soldiers, so he was not nervous at this time, but he also looked at Huang Chang and said with a smile: "Deran, for my brother, I think that there is still a possibility of being a traitor." Maybe Nabuji is among your brothers! ”
Huang Chang was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and then knelt down and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Mingjian, Huang is definitely not ...... Culprits! ”
Liu Zheng's face suddenly changed in his eyes, Huang Chang's voice trembled when he looked at it, and then he saw Liu Zheng striding forward with a gloomy face, removing the ring knife on his waist, and said coldly: "Didn't I say it?" Do you dare to wear a knife when you see my brother Boju? You don't die fast enough! ”
"Huang Mou......"
"Hey, where is Deran. Strong, please get up. ”
Seeing that Liu Zheng was changing color, Gongsun Zhan smiled and helped Huang Chang up, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
Although he was still hostile to Liu Zheng in the past two months, he had also heard a lot of Liu Weitai's Gongsun Fan's praise for Liu Zheng, not to mention that the guards had also been taught by Lu Zhi and Li Yan here, and Gongsun Xu had a lot of maintenance, so he felt that he should not be so wary of Liu Zheng because of Liu Bei.
At this time, he said a joke in passing, which actually caused Liu Zheng to beat his subordinates quite outwardly, saying that there was something else in his identity, thinking of the gap between Zhao Xin and Liu Zheng on the day of the spring equinox, Gongsun Zhan also sighed in his heart.
It's just that he was really hard to explain at the time, after all, the other party was Zhao Zhong's henchman, and when he was out of the house, it was still a sensitive period when the ten permanent servants were spreading gossip everywhere in Youzhou, if there was a mistake, he couldn't argue, and at that time, he could only let Liu Zheng suffer a little loss.
Liu Zheng ridiculed him that day, he was angry, but Gongsun continued to defend his "Uncle Deran" on one side, and he was relieved later, and asked Gongsun Yue to talk about Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng, but he did not reveal Zhao Xin's identity, and the royal guards he was looking for were not allowed to offend.
Originally, I thought that this matter had been turned over, but when the other party came to ask for help today, he was also sincere, saying that he was thinking about the old feelings, but he didn't expect a joke to make people insinuate outside.
At this time, he looked at Lu Zhi and was quite surprised to see Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zhan's mind turned, and he also knew that this joke during the sensitive period could be regarded as poking at Liu Zheng's weakness of lack of henchmen, otherwise there would be no need to work here alone.
So he patted Huang Chang on the shoulder, but he was also ready to tell the joke to the end, "A joke for a while." Strong men must not be taken seriously. Naturally, if De Ran is really a Yin person, you can come and take refuge in me. Haha, after all, I am a classmate with him, and this experience is a sharing of hardships and hardships, that is, it is reasonable to say that the same breath and branches, you must seize this opportunity...... It's not early, just in case there is a change, teacher, Deran, I will ...... first"
Suddenly, a horse came up on the mountain road, looked at Gongsun Zhan, and shouted: "Lord, there are thieves attacking the county government and the mansion of your lords!" Even several of Captain Liu's workshops were burned by thieves, and Tian Juncheng and his family soldiers were lacking in skills, and now the north gate has been captured by thieves! Please also ask the lord and the prince to come to support! ”
"Wen Chang, go and inform Wang Junwei! Single, go to inform Yuan Zheng...... He's on the mountain, let them go and notify the Zidu Zijie to lead the troops over! I'm one step ahead! ”
Gongsun Zhan's face was slightly gloomy, but he was also in danger, he pulled his hand towards Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng, turned his head and left, Liu Zheng felt strange in his heart, and felt that Gongsun Zhan's crow mouth was simply amazing, and hesitated for a moment, "Brother Bo Zheng, or I will ...... with you."
"Didn't you suffer internal injuries? Let's keep it first. A little thief, can you still deal with it as a brother? But you guys will lend me one of them first! ”
Gongsun Chan smiled and turned over on his horse, turned his head and shouted a few times, and then left from the fast horse with a few white horses who had mounted the horse.
Huang Chang was speechless, but he also understood that these things were by no means Huang Shao's idea, and then thought about what Lu Zhi said about "diverting the tiger from the mountain", and also expected that someone would use Huang Shao's matter to fish in troubled waters, he was thinking, in the afterglow, he suddenly saw Liu Zheng looking at him with burning eyes, and his heart suddenly sank, and he was about to hug his fists, Liu Zheng suddenly smiled and hugged him, and shouted to Lu Zhi: "Teacher, I'll talk to Brother Huang Chang for a while, you go to rest first." ”
"You ......"
Lu Zhi was stunned, remembered the joke of Gongsun Zhan, looked at Huang Chang's back, and squeezed his eyebrows a few times.
The old man's gesture was quite interesting, Liu Zheng also stuck out his tongue and shook his head, and then hugged Huang Chang and walked from the trail to Taoyuan.
The two walked to the shadows, and seeing that Liu Zheng kept walking, Huang Chang was a little puzzled, "It's ...... the lord to find Huang."
The words stopped abruptly, his body suddenly stiffened as the blade pierced his clothes against the muscles of his back, he turned his head, and Liu Zheng's gaze was a little cold in the darkness, "Bu Ji, what is it about Liu that attracts you so much?" It's worth forbearance, but it doesn't matter if the half-brother and the robe you worked with in the past die? ”
Cold sweat came out of his back in vain.
……
Bang bang bang bang ......
In the darkness, there was a constant sound of footsteps, and someone was running outside the door on the loose wooden steps and floors, and unscrupulous, completely incomprehensible words came through the cracks in the door, hurried and urgent, and occasionally a few scoldings.
Farther away, the shouts were also sounding in the distance, although it was the language of the Han people compared to the barbarian dialect outside the gate, but the Youzhou dialect had not been learned, and could only hear the panic, curiosity, and schadenfreude in those shouts...... There are all kinds of emotions, and they are also noisy.
Chen Zhen was a little irritable and lay on the bed tossing and turning, covering his ears for a long time, but the sound from far and near couldn't stop, and even there were people next door arguing fiercely, the sound insulation effect of the room was too poor, the sound almost sounded in his ears, he couldn't understand a word of the words, buzzing, as ugly as flies and pigs.
He sat up abruptly, took a deep breath, and a voice of comfort came from the floor next to the bed: "Bear with me." Barbarians, when you go out, it's still the territory of our Han people, and you will definitely be a master, and the master's temperament should be reckless. Maybe you still have the heart to get into trouble and fight, and if you are afraid of others, the awkwardness of being in a foreign country can be smaller...... And there are more than thirty of them, and you and I can't afford to provoke them. ”
There are more than 30 Wuhuan people living in the neighboring rooms, and the one next door seems to be their head, and on weekdays, the gang of people swaggers through the market with scimitars, and even occasionally find prostitutes to come to the door, acting wild and uninhibited, Chen Zhen feels vulgar and impatient.
These words are mentioning the point as always, and he has not heard it once or twice, and he can still calmly say the last sentence in the past, "What my father taught me." At this time, I was upset and irritable, and I only felt that the nest was incomparable, and then I heard that a porcelain bowl suddenly broke next door.
Chen Zhen was taken aback and said angrily: "Patience, patience...... We are also strangers, aren't we masters here? More than thirty people are remarkable? Pu Hu was provoked when they came, and it wasn't that they hadn't beaten thirty people! It's not like killing everyone yet! It's just a bunch of Wuhuan...... Lawless, believe it or not, I co-opted a group of Han people to fight with them! ”
The last sentence was very heavy, and the next door was lightened, in the dark, Chen Xiu suddenly grabbed the knife and stood at the door, holding his breath, listening to a few scoldings from the next door, and then someone scolded, followed by someone to open the door, and when he listened to the footsteps of those people walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that if the amount of gas on the other side is smaller, you and I may still die here!" ”
He lit the oil lamp, took the table and knelt on the bed, slammed the knife into the case, and his face was dark in the firelight: "Don't forget, you are the one who insists on taking revenge." worked hard for his father to win over Pu Hu and them, and they couldn't be ruined. Don't have this idea of having something extraneous in the future. For the father, I don't want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person! ”
The two of them sent someone to assassinate Wen Ren that day, and then they heard that Jian Yong, Huang Zhong and others were going to visit Mrs. Zhang, and they were a little nervous, but when they heard that Mrs. Zhang and Jian Yong were united, and even Wen Zhi and Niyang Ling began to investigate the assassin's assassination of Wen Ren, for fear of being found out, so they also fled away.
They stayed in the Xiangyang area for a month or two, and when they heard that a group of people suddenly appeared in Hanzhong County, Yizhou to kill the rice thief, and even chased them to Ba County to find Ban Yuman to take revenge, they also remembered the grudge between the rice thief and Liu Zheng in the past.
Chen Zhen's days of glory and wealth were ruined by Liu Zheng, and he insisted on going over to find the rice thief for help, but the rice thief was also overwhelmed by those mysterious people at this time, and the two of them heard that there was a person named Yuan Chao who went back alive, so they also went to Ba County, and had the intention of instigating the thief to retaliate against Liu Zheng.
That Yuan Chao didn't see it, I heard that the man and his brother Yuan Yue brother wall, is grabbing power, and has no time to care, just when Chen Xiu was about to persuade Chen Zhen to give up, Chen Zhen heard that one of the leaders of the people Pu Hu had a brother-in-law who died in the sneak attack on the night of Niyang, Pu Hu's wife was worried about this matter, and even the two leaders of the rice thieves, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu, were quite concerned about this matter so that the people had a gap with them, and Pu Hu, as one of the leaders of the people, was as close to Zhang Lu as brothers.
When this matter took a turn for the better, Chen Zhen naturally refused to give up, Chen Xiu saw that his son was doing his best for this matter, and he responded half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, and then made a lot of effort to Pu Hu.
That time Zhang Lu did something bad in Nanyang, Pu Hu because of Zhang Lu's relationship, he had to be gossiped by rice thieves and people, so he was naturally angry, and his wife was bewitched by Chen Xiu and Chen Zhen, and he blew the wind in his ears every day.
can make Pu Hu come all the way to Youzhou, but also because when he was looking for revenge in Nanyang, Pu Hu carefully laid out, but was planned by Jian Yongyin once, that Huang Zhong was really brave, killed many people in Pu Hu, Pu Hu was deflated, so he called the clansmen and Jian Yong and others to consume, and then after Chen Xiu listed a large list of benefits for killing Liu Zheng, he decided to go north to kill Liu Zheng.
It's just that along the way, in addition to leading the way, the father and son occasionally help Pu Hu's clansmen come forward to do something, or give advice, which is really not very important, it is generally a dispensable strategist translator, and everything depends on Pu Hu's face.
At this time, Chen Xiu's face was dark, and he was also a little impatient, his son was obviously ambitious for revenge, and he had honed some resilience, but at this moment, he was disproportionately disproportionate by his own selfish desires.
Chen Zhen had always been a little afraid of Chen Xiu's black face, and he was a little timid when he calmed down next door, and then he listened to "the white-haired man sends the black-haired man", knowing that Chen Xiu might give up on him and escape, he hurriedly began to apologize.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door and shouted.
Knowing that it was Pu Hu, Chen Xiu opened the door, and saw that Pu Hu was still holding a robe in his hand, obviously he had gone out, listening to the shouts in the distance, some lively shouts, Chen Xiu asked, Pu Hu said in a deep voice: "Your father and son are ready, the city is not peaceful tonight, there may be a chance, let's go and see." ”
Chen Xiu was stunned, Chen Zhen hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, and said with an excited face: "Finally something to do!" Liu Zhengpifu, Lao Tzu will definitely cut you with a thousand knives! ”
"How he dies is up to me."
Park Hu frowned and glanced at Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen was stunned, then apologized repeatedly, and when he picked up the sword on the side, he pinched the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
