Chapter 225: Passing on the Torch (2)

The lead clouds were in the sky, and in the camp outside the city of Luoyang, which was scattered with the Duting as the center, the banners were hunting with the wind, the drizzle flew in from the eaves, the stone slabs were wet, and a few drops of bean-sized rain dropped on the smoker, disappearing in an instant.

In the curling cigarette, a burly figure in armor knelt on the mat of the pavilion, flipping through the bamboo slips sent in from outside the camp, and after a while, the man pinched the bridge of his nose, put down the bamboo slips and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Outside the camp, there were endless screams and begging for mercy, and occasionally there was heavy drinking, and the armor of the soldiers walking nearby was sonorous, and from time to time someone shouted, and after the response sounded, the sound of horses' hooves and armor was far away, and he thought that there should be another mob making trouble, and his heart was a little irritable.

As the deputy general of Zhao Zhong, who is nearly forty years old, Jian Shuo has been in a bad mood recently.

Whether it was the group of Diao people slandering the Ten Permanent Servants in the past few days, or the gossip in the army about him as a eunuch leading the army, it all made him depressed.

Not to mention that Zhao Zhong's guy appeared a few times and let it go, and handed over this offending thing to him, and the torture for half a month has made his image in the hearts of many people and even the court plummet, if Zhang Yan's matter is not handled properly, he is likely to have to stay in the palace for the rest of his life, that is, occasionally travel back to the mansion, and have to be surrounded by people for protection.

In the past, such things have not happened, those reckless men who claim to be "righteous people" are assassinated by the side of the road, not only him, but other Zhongchang servants and Huangmen have experienced it, and in the past half a month, it has intensified, Zhao Zhong will hide in Luoyang City, in the final analysis, he is also afraid of being assassinated in the army, but he is a deputy general, and he must be ordered to stay here.

What's more, he really wanted to lead the troops to fight, and he was reluctant to leave like this.

He is the military strategy to get the favor of the saint, this time He Jin can not interfere, belonging to the Shi clan Si Li Lieutenant and Zhi Jinwu is not good to meddle in this matter, the city gate captain Zhao Yan as Zhao Zhong's younger brother will fully cooperate with him, if he can handle the matter well, he will definitely be able to get the military power at such a time when the war is everywhere, so as to go further, it is still a trivial matter to worship the marquis, maybe he can be promoted to the position of the general, squeeze the He butcher down, and also take the real power, and cut off everyone's contempt for him.

He was thinking about it, when two people suddenly came in outside the pavilion, Sima Panyin clenched his fists and smiled flatteringly: "Congratulations to General Jian for his great achievements!" ”

Jian Shuo's eyes lit up, raised his eyebrows and looked at the big man who followed Pan Yin, the big man looked restrained, his expression was faintly happy, if he remembered correctly, the other party was one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Army, named Ku Xu, a treacherous person.

But when he heard Pan Yin talk about it, he was still in a happy mood, pinched his smooth chin, and said with a smile: "Found Zhang Yan?" ”

"Exactly!"

Caring about Pan Yin's opening, he clenched his fists bitterly and said excitedly: "General Jian, a certain family has helped Pan Sima identify, and this time, along with Zhang Yan, there are also Luo Shi Pinghan and other leaders of the Eight Roads. If they can be wiped out this time, the Montenegrin army will definitely be in chaos, and when the time comes, a certain family will definitely be able to reach the top of the alliance with the officials and lords rewarded by Zhao Zhonglang, and in the future, integrate the people and horses with Zhao Zhonglang to join forces with the outside and defend my Han Dynasty together! ”

and Zhao Zhonglang will be inside and outside......

Jian Shuo's heart lit a fire, and he smiled quietly: "If General Ben remembers correctly, General Zhao Zhonglang also asked you to inquire about the reason for this matter, have you confirmed the identities of those people?" ”

"I only heard that Cai Nu has some knowledge, and Yang Feng's gang is usually strict-mouthed, and he inquired with his brother in the village in the morning, but he didn't ask anything. Pan Sima used the corpse to hook up a party again, but after the torture, the military brother's nose was damaged...... I didn't inquire about the true origin of Cai Nu. However, a certain family inquired that Tong Bao, the person next to Cai Nu, was the 'Penglai Gun God Sanren' Tong Yuan Tong Xiongfu, who was as famous as the tiger general Wang Yue in the rivers and lakes, and had previously guarded merchants in Youzhou, Xuzhou. ”

Jian Shuo raised his eyebrows, "Where is Youzhou?" Zhuojun? ”

"Jixian seems to have been there too."

"Also?"

Ku Yu hurriedly trembled and said: "Even in Zhuo County, I came and went to Langya in Xuzhou, and it seems that Jixian County has also been to one or two times. ”

"That is to say, that Zhang Yan went to Zhuo County, maybe it was Cai Nu's idea? That Pinghan has the courage of ten thousand people in your mouth, and as a result, he suffered a loss in Zhuo County, maybe it was a play, and it was played for you to see, and by the way, he gave Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng momentum? ”

In fact, Zhao Zhong had also asked these words before, Jian Shuo was still present at the time, and Jian Shuo was not busy looking for someone to kill Zhang Yan at this time, but took the trouble to ask here, bitterly slandering in his heart, but he also thought that Jian Shuo was going to put on an official stand, and said respectfully: "Exactly." But I also heard that they are looking for revenge on Liu Zheng. After all, Ping Han was a disciple of Taiping Dao before, and he was a disciple of Zhang Jiao with Cheng Zhiyuan. And it is rumored that Liu Zheng also challenged Tong Yuan...... Piff. Zhang Yan is also good at using spears, and is suspected of flattering...... If General Jian wants to investigate, if he waits for the people sent to Youzhou by Zhao Zhonglang to come back, he will definitely know by then. ”

"As it should be. What General Ku said is extremely true. ”

Jian Shuo nodded, stunned bitterly, and said excitedly: "General Jian, that Zhang Yan is known as 'Feiyan', and Yang Feng and others in Luo City are not good at stubble, this is a rare opportunity, but there are many people, if you send someone to arrest it early, I am afraid of change!" A certain family has already notified Zhao Chengmen, just waiting for the general to join forces with him, the danger of the ten permanent servants will be solved, and when the time comes, General Jian will definitely be able to follow the official into the knighthood and pay homage to the marquis! When a certain family gathers the Montenegrin army, they can take care of each other with the general and ...... in the court together."

"Did you make a note of their faces?"

Jian Shuo suddenly looked at Pan Yin, Pan Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at Jian Shuo's slightly rubbed right hand, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "The last general naturally wrote it down!" ”

"Okay, take General Ku down and treat him well."

Jian Shuo waved his hand and smiled, Pan Yin nodded with a slight hint of light, and went out with bitterness.

The two of them came out of the pavilion, and took the hat bitterly, although they were a little anxious and did not send troops to arrest Zhang Yan, but the overall situation had been decided, at this time, looking at the fully equipped and heroic sergeant of the fifth battalion, they were also distracted, and said with envy: "Pan Sima, will my Montenegrin Army also receive such excellent equipment in the future?" ”

"What do you say? You have an army of millions, and the saint will make you a lieutenant general, and it is not a matter of one sentence to meet the military needs? You go back to my tent and sit with a few brothers, arrest Zhang Yan, and let me wait for my subordinates to do it, so as not to be exposed, and when you become a Zhonglang general, this frame still needs to be there...... Hehe, General Ku will go first, I will ask people to prepare a few pots of good wine, and by the way, I will ask General Jian what he means, and I will help General Ku in advance. ”

Ku Yu hugged his fists quite reluctantly and said: "Then thank you Pan Sima!" ”

"Be polite, General Ku must eat and drink well, don't let down Pan's intentions."

Looking at Ku Xi leaving quite satisfied, Pan Yin grinned, then gave a few words of advice with an entourage, turned his head and entered the pavilion again, knelt down and said with a smile: "General Jian thinks that this person is disloyal and unjust, and he can't be used well?" ”

"It's still Sima who knows me. Such unkind and unrighteous people, who today can conspire with us for their own selfishness, will one day turn against us for their own selfishness. ”

Jian Shuo opened the lid of the furnace, threw a few pieces of bamboo slips into it, and looked at Pan Yin, who was slightly hesitant.

Speaking of which, Pan Yin is also a eunuch, and he was originally his henchman, but this person is also a native of Nanyang Wan, and he has a personal relationship with He Jin, and he can be with He Jin, in addition to his former love and status in the palace, it is naturally because he has some insight in the art of war, and he should have seen that his decision-making is a little inappropriate at this time.

He thought about the relationship between the other party and He Jin, and recalled that there were not many Montenegrin troops among the more than 20,000 people at this time, but there were already a large number of Montenegrin troops in the surrounding cities and even counties of Luoyang at this time.

Pan Yin sneered and said, "General Jian, with all due respect, General Zhao Zhonglang wants to use this person to control the Black Mountain Army after all, although General Jian has carried out General Jian's orders, he is also afraid that General Jian will do something bad for General Jian, this matter is ...... Please also ask General Jian for guidance, so that the last general will not worry about General Jian. ”

"Hehe, you have a heart. Zhao Zhonglang hated this rumor, and when Zhang Yanfang arrived, he ordered someone to chase and kill, but he didn't want the black mountain thief to be a stupid person, so he was absolutely suspicious. Zhao Zhonglang will only know that the bitterness is an internal response, but he doesn't know that the bitterness does not know how to be flexible, if he is allowed to do it, he will immediately take the official position of the imperial court Zhao'an, and he happened to meet the black mountain thief who has doubts, and it is not certain whether he can become the leader of the alliance. It's better to talk about Xiang alone, thinking that he should be internal, and when Zhang Yan and the others die, he will take the bitter head to enhance his prestige, which is enough to control the Black Mountain thieves, and he will not know it. ”

"The general is wise, this strategy is unpredictable! If His Majesty knows, the general will definitely increase the rank and enter the knighthood, and go further! ”

"It's still the credit of Cai Nu, but I want Zhang Yan and others to come here to take a look at the miserable situation of the people and find out information...... If he stays outside the Tiger Prison, where will I be able to take advantage of it? ”

Jian Shuo smiled and raised his hand to bake on the top of the smoker, "Two thousand people disguised themselves to blend in with the people, so they thought that there was no fear for their lives. But I don't want to be led away by the bitterness...... Hehe, if Zhang Yan knew from the spring, he would definitely feel that he had died unjustly, who told him to take the oath as a ...... at a young age"

After a pause, an idea flashed in Jian Shuo's mind, and he suddenly frowned: "How long has it been since you informed Zhao Yan?" ”

"There should be...... Three quarters, right? ”

"Not good!"

Jian Shuo was shocked, and at the same time, outside the camp gate, a horn suddenly sounded, he immediately stood up and strode out, "Zhao Yanding wants something bad!" ”

……

Running and fleeing, he felt that the shouting he had just revealed his identity was too stupid to send to the door, so he didn't speak again.

At first, he could restrain himself, but he pushed the people who stopped in front of him away, but later, when he saw those disguised officers and soldiers surrounding him, and the women and children who came in a hurry, they suddenly took out daggers, and after the sleeves were torn, they couldn't tell whether they were pretending to be people or not, and they carried guns and knives and killed all the people who came over to the ground.

In the field of vision, those people didn't seem to expect that they would react so quickly, Zhang Yan pursed his lips, thinking that you guys are too underestimating Lao Tzu's name "Feiyan", he pulled the spear tightly with his right hand, and pulled the knife in the rapid running with his left hand, forcing a big man who ran over, and then ran towards the most eye-catching tall figure.

In the past, in Jizhou and Youzhou, it was in the county seat, and where did he dare to be so bold and reckless if he knew himself, but now it is good, among more than 20,000 people, he was even found out, and even chased after himself.

Thinking in his heart, he looked left and right, and watched many people running out from far and near to fight with Yang Feng and others against those disguised officers and soldiers, and his pace slowed down a little.

I had also expected that someone would be rebelled against before, in fact, most of the people around him now are people he thinks he can believe, Sun Qing and Wang Dang needless to say, they were brothers around them before they joined their father-in-law, Luo Shi Pinghan is also the brother of his father-in-law, and it is impossible for Yang Fenglei Gong Bai Bo and Wei Gubai to be poisoned by the six of them, so just more than 20 people, and the remaining more than ten are cronies around them, and they are accompanied all the way, and it seems that it is impossible to have kung fu to become a fine work.

On the contrary, those who came here early may have betrayed them......

Or......

He swept his eyes and caught a glimpse of the forest, now Cai Nu's carriage had disappeared, and five or six guards had also stayed, and they were dealing with a few big men who surrounded him, and Zhao Yun even rode a small white horse with a strong mane on his neck and rushed over to this side, so it seems that they are afraid of being besieged and hiding in the forest, shouldn't it......

No, if they are wiped out by the Black Mountain Army, then Liu Zheng will have the credit of pacifying Youzhou and Jizhou, just Zhao Yun is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is valued by Liu Zheng, I am afraid that it is also a reason to paralyze himself, not to mention, he even dares to challenge Tong Yuan, maybe he really didn't take Cai Nu and these people in his eyes, just to lure himself into the bait sent out......

He thought as he suddenly erupted on the left, "Ah——! With a sound, he turned his head and flashed Luo Shi's bloody face, carrying a big axe towards his head, he lowered his head suddenly, and a bloody light burst from the right.

Zhang Yan glanced left and right and wiped her face, and subconsciously leaned behind Luo Shi, "You scared me to death!" ”

"Fuck off! There's still a distraction! Run! Escape into the woods! ”

Luo Shi raised his knee and kicked him, and ran towards several big men who had caught up.

Zhang Yan staggered a few steps, looked at the few arrows hanging on the thick clothes on Luo Shi's back, and could still see the inner armor in the gap, grinned a little enviously, swept away, and then threw the spear in his hand.

In the middle of the spear, a big man who was about to shoot an arrow at Yang Feng's back, Zhang Yan ran, and the ring-headed knife slammed on the spear that suddenly stopped in front of him, "Dangdang" twice, he slashed the spear hard, and then kicked the spear-wielding man out, and shouted in the process of running towards Ping Han: "Withdraw!" Withdraw! Sun Qing, blow the trumpet! Trumpet! Seeing Sun Qing who was cut down and fell to the ground during the run, he rushed over and finished off the opponent with a knife, stabilized the embarrassed Sun Qing, pulled down the horn on his waist, pointed at the forest and shouted: "Run!" Blow while running! ”

"Big brother, you ......"

"Don't fucking bullshit! Fast! ”

Zhang Yan slapped Sun Qing's head, slashed over a killing shout, and strode towards Pinghan.

Over there, Ping Han held three spears, and snorted, Pu Fan's big hand slapped suddenly, the spear was broken, he waved his hands, so that the heads of the two people in front of him collided together, and then dragged the other person in front of him, but the bow and arrow that he had already noticed still passed through the top of the person's head and shot on his left shoulder, Ping Han gritted his teeth, pressed his hands on the head of the person who dragged him, and after a turn, he pulled the corpse in front of him and ran towards Zhang Yan.

"Big ...... Elder brother! ”

The figure flashed in front of him, and Ping Han threw the corpse in his hand at the man, pulled out the arrow from his shoulder with his head down, picked up a ring-headed knife, and threw it towards Zhang Yan suddenly.

The ring-headed knife came head-on, Zhang Yan immediately fell to the ground and rolled up, a chasing figure behind him fell to the ground with a knife, he rolled and pulled the ring-headed knife to cut off the right foot of the person who was screaming and running, listening to the man's fall and howling, impatiently stabbed the man in the chest, leaned in front of Pinghan, listened to the sound of the horn, and pushed Pinghan, "It's safe, let's go to the forest to hide......"

Seeing that Ping Han's thick face was extremely gloomy and dignified in vain, he seemed to have thought of something, and when he turned his head to scan, he saw Sun Qing holding the horn and stunned in place, and some young faces were looking in the direction of Luoyang City.

He subconsciously gasped for air, swallowed his saliva and looked over, and saw the flag raised, and the black-pressed cavalry gathered by the city gate, and then the earth began to shake, shaking the sky. At the sound of this, the people were drowned in the black wave, and countless people ran and surged in all directions.

Larger chaos erupted in vain.
