Chapter 435: Yan Feng marched westward

In the distraught, a rain of arrows came from the black curtain, Tian Zhu and the others might as well dodge, immediately hit the arrow, rolled off the horse, thirty steps away, Peng Ji and Xin Zi led the troops to wait here.

Before the attack, Peng Ji and Xin Zi carefully calculated Han Mingzhen's surprise attack strategy and found that Tian Zhu was either directly slaughtered in the chaotic battle, or fled from the south to the village. As a new general, Zhu Mao and Dai Liang, these veterans of the Yan Army, went to the battle to grab merit, the two of them didn't have that idea, if one accidentally offended someone, they were afraid that they would be restless in the Yan Army camp in the future, but if they waited for the rabbit to pick up merit in the forest of Nanxiang Village, it would mean something else.

It was also a loss that God had eyes, so that Tian Zhu escaped after the melee of the three generals Huangfu Chenghao, Wang Xutuo, and Zhu Mao, but Tian Zhu never imagined that even if he did not die at the hands of Huangfu Chenghao, he would die in the nameless forest road.

"Brother Peng, what do you mean by Han Mingzhen? Give us such a great achievement in vain? ”

Lin Daoyan rode in front of the queue, Xin Zi asked puzzledly, that Peng Ji stared ahead, and after Tian Zhu and the other horses were shot by random arrows, he immediately ordered the left and right to go and inspect, and only at the end did he respond to Xin Zi's predicament.

"The veteran will hold the merit, the new general is weak, His Royal Highness's move is to weigh his subordinates, compared to those Jianghuai family generals, you and I are rootless people, better control, but this is good... Under the current situation, King Yan is much higher than the new emperor in Zhongdu in terms of strength and fame, as long as we grasp the opportunity, it is not impossible to run to a dragon general! ”

"That's a good idea!" Xin Zixin smiled: "When the Liaoyuan army was dispersed, you and I were transferred to the captain of the bullshit city gate, it was really in vain that we were loyal to the old commander..."

"It's over, don't say it again!"

Peng Ji didn't want to talk about Qin Yi anymore, so he immediately cut off his voice, and at the same time, his own soldiers pressed Tian Zhu from the chaotic corpse and came to the front.

"General, this guy still has a breath!"

Hearing this, Peng Ji dismounted and shone in front of him with a torch, reflecting the firelight, Tian Zhu gasped for breath, and an old face had passed away for most of his life.

"You... You are..."

"What? Recognize us? On the side, Xin Zi drew his knife and said coldly: "Tian Zhu... Although I used to be a minister in the same palace, but now I need your head to ask for credit... Just bear with me..."

"Traitor... Mixed species..."Tian Zhu scolded angrily, but he couldn't keep out his throat, Xin Zi's blade had fallen, and in the next second, Tian Zhu's head fell off his neck and rolled off, so that the rear soldiers took out the sack and put up Tian Zhu's dead head.

"Brother Peng, let's go back to the army next and ask for credit!" Xin Zi smiled, Peng Ji nodded, and the two led their troops back to Yanzhou to ask for their lives.

Puyang, Wang Xutuo desperately escaped from the siege of the Yan army, originally wanted to enter Puyang City to temporarily avoid the soldiers, but Puyang has been taken by the Yan thieves, unable to go down, Wang Xutuo continued to flee north to the mouth of the Neihuang County, and did not find a boat, Zhu Mao led his own cavalry to catch up.

"Wang Xutuo, I heard that you are also a brave general under Tian Zhu, since Tian Zhu is defeated, you might as well surrender, so that you can avoid death..."

In the face of Zhu Mao's playful surrender words, Wang Xutuo was straight with his blade: "Yan thief, the master's head is here, come and get it if you want, let the master survive under your kind of goods, and make your spring and autumn dreams..."

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

Zhu Mao reprimanded him coldly, and fought and chased for a long time, he Zhu Mao seemed to be tough but also exhausted, and Wang Xutuo showed courage and calmness in the raid in Shouchun County, if it was a short encounter, there were casualties, so Zhu Mao ordered his own horse to release arrows, Wang Xutuo had nowhere to stop, several arrows in his body, and the mount was frightened, and he fled madly, dragged Wang Xutuo into the river, a wave passed, Wang Xutuo and the mount were lost, and Zhu Mao did not stop, led the troops back to the army.

In Yanzhou City, Xin Zi and Peng Ji were the first to come back, and when they presented Tian Zhu's head, King Yan was overjoyed: "This bastard in Zhongdu has really brought a lot of trouble to Ben General..."

"Your Highness, Puyang has been taken, Qin Yi has led the army to Zhongmu, if we wait for it to be stable and strike first, we will have unexpected results!" Han Mingzhen pleaded, and King Yan thought secretly, but did not respond directly.

"Sir, although the Puyang line is unimpeded, it is in the direction of Yecheng..."

"The direction of Yecheng is unobstructed!" Han Mingzhen analyzed it carefully: "According to the news that the old man received recently, the Bei'an army is less than 20,000, plus the Li army is only 30,000, they can break Yecheng, with the ability of Lu Yan, the loss of the Bei'an army will not be small, at least ten days before continuing to move south, and the period of time is enough for us to stabilize the smooth flow from Puyang to Yanzhou, so the old man asked His Highness to send someone to take Puyang West to Muye County, which is a three-way road, as long as our army sets up a large camp on that road, it can involve Qin Yi and the battle front of the Bei'an army." ”

"As Mr. said!"

Immediately, King Yan looked at Peng Ji and Xin Zi at the bottom of the stairs, and the two of them knew what to do and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, please command, your subordinates will definitely serve your life!"

King Yan nodded: "You two also heard what Mr. said, Muye is the key to the battle of this king, can you two dare to lead your troops to camp Muye to resist Qin Yi and the Bei'an army?" ”

The two looked at each other, and Xin Zi said in a rough voice: "Each is his master, don't worry about the past, dare to be two-hearted?" ”

"Well said!" King Yan laughed: "The two of you have been in the Liaoyuan Army, knowing the habits of Qin Yi's army, this time this king does not ask for victory in the battle, as long as you can stick to Muye and drag Qin Yi, it is a great achievement, when this king wins, you two are the high generals in the palace!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

A moment later, Peng Ji and Xin Zi led 8,000 troops to Muye County, there were no defenders in Muye County, only hundreds of regiments of soldiers, under the pressure of the two soldiers, the county order immediately opened the door and surrendered, and then the two were ordered to set up a solid camp on the wide field of the west fork in Muye, standing on the wall, Peng Ji looked at the southwest direction, and frowned: "Qin Shuai... War is coming, please forgive the sin of disrespect..."

On the high platform in the middle of Yecheng, Lin Xiu led the generals to follow this, and when Zhuang Fei read Lu Yan's self-sin book to the poor people, the refugees who had been poisoned were in mourning, and finally Tang Chuanwen knelt down to listen to the punishment, and he was punished by the fact that he could not be treated, and he was whipped more than ten times in public, and executed in front of the refugees.

When the whipping was halfway through, Tang Chuanwen had passed out, Rao was Lin Xiu's heartache, but Zhuang was not executed by the prison army, and the military law was prestigious, he had nothing to stop, and when the whipping was over, Lin Xiu bowed to the poor people to comfort the hearts of the people.

At this point, the poor people only slightly relaxed their vigilance against the military, and then Lin Xiu personally set up a public opinion team to help the poor people, in view of the war situation in Yecheng, most of the villages in the fields of Siye are dilapidated, in order to ensure their livelihood, Lin Xiu opened the official warehouse of Yecheng, put tens of thousands of stones of grain, and on the occasion of the people's gratitude, Lin Xiu posted the order of the poor to the north, and those who are willing to go, people make a lot of money consistently, send five acres of land to the place, and the tax will be paid by Bei'an on behalf of the three years, and the tax will be paid by Bei'an on behalf of the people, and the tax system will be fulfilled according to the capital after three years.
