Chapter 82: Coercion
It was dawn, Zhang Desheng rubbed his eyes, he felt very tired, but no matter how tired he was, life had to go on, he had lived a life licking blood on the tip of the knife in the early years, he was not afraid of death, but he was worried about his relatives, especially his three-year-old son, who was his hope, and nothing could happen. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But how can you escape?
Without waiting for Zhang Desheng to think of a way, his younger brother Zhang Dekai hurriedly ran over, his face was very bad, and when he came to him, he shouted on his face: "Big brother, something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong? What happened to make you so fussed? Zhang Desheng said, very dissatisfied.
Zhang Dekai said: "Big brother, the officers and soldiers are outside. Unconsciously, Zhang Dekai's voice was already trembling, and he was very frightened.
"What?" Zhang Desheng was taken aback, stood up, dodged a few steps, and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”
Cautiously arrived at the edge of the forest, Zhang Desheng looked out, only to see heavily armed soldiers standing outside, guarded by a person every few steps, very well guarded, Zhang Desheng squatted in the grass, with a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that these officers and soldiers would appear here, there was something else to do, and it had nothing to do with him.
But soon, this hope was dashed, and after the sky was completely bright, the officers and soldiers began to approach the dense forest in twos and threes and began to search.
"Big brother, they must have found out." Zhang Dekai was very nervous, the officers and soldiers searched, where should he flee now? Dead, dead, Zhang Dekai was sweating profusely.
"What's the panic?" Zhang Desheng glanced at his brother, what is there to be afraid of death? Zhang Desheng hurriedly returned to the resting place and woke up his wife and children, who were also sweating when they heard that the officers and soldiers were coming.
The wife cried: "You, the enemy family, originally had a house and land, although it was not very rich, but you finally had no worries about food and clothing, you had to listen to the demagogy of those people and assassinate the envoy of Jiedu, and now something has happened." What if something happens to you and you call us mother and son? ”
"Phew!" Zhang Desheng snorted twice, thinking that his wife's words had really touched his brow. But then again, if I hadn't wanted to get more land, how could there be so many things now?
When the three-year-old son saw Zhang Desheng's fierce appearance, he immediately cried.
"My little ancestor!" Zhang Desheng hurriedly stepped forward and covered his son's mouth, crying at this time, didn't he lead the officers and soldiers over?
The child's mouth was covered and he struggled desperately, and the anxious wife said repeatedly: "Daddy, what are you going to do?" Are you going to kill your son? ”
"Crazy, what are you thinking? If the cry attracts the officers and soldiers, everyone will die. Zhang Desheng said.
The wife's face changed, she also knew the importance of this matter, and hurriedly held the child and coaxed, at this time, the brother-in-law also rushed over and said in a low voice: "The officers and soldiers have come, what should I do?" ”
"Let's go first!" Zhang Desheng immediately made a decision, and the group didn't have time to pack their things, so they immediately walked towards the depths of the dense forest. The dense foliage in the deep forest makes it difficult for the sunlight to penetrate, and in the dimness, the group walks step by step, and the soil in the forest is very soft, and if you are not careful, half of your feet are trapped in it.
But at this time, everyone had no choice but to continue to go deeper, Zhang Desheng and the others fled quickly, but the speed of the officers and soldiers was not slow, two or three people were a unit, separated by only four or five steps, so that it was convenient to support each other.
Chen Tie led people into the dense forest, and soon, he saw a bonfire still smoking by the tree, obviously, someone stayed here last night, it was very likely that it was Zhang Desheng and others.
"Search, keep searching!" Chen Tie shouted loudly. Soon, Chen Tie found the footprints again, and he chased them down.
Zhang Desheng and the others fled for a while, his wife couldn't walk, panting, Zhang Desheng hugged his son, hesitated for a moment, or pulled up his wife, just walked a few steps, and heard the shouts of soldiers from the periphery, "Hurry up!" Zhang Desheng's face changed, he picked up his wife and left, but just after running two steps, his wife groaned and fell to the ground.
"Hurry up and go!" Zhang Desheng said in a low voice.
But his wife seemed to be injured and covered her feet on the ground and screamed, she couldn't stand up in the middle of the sound, and the anxious Zhang Desheng stomped her feet, at this time, Chen Tie and others heard the sound and walked over quickly, and the sharp-eyed soldiers had already seen Zhang Desheng and immediately shouted.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, and the soldiers from other places heard it, and they all rushed to it, and suddenly the forest became lively, and the birds flew up in fright, and circled in the air.
Seeing the officers and soldiers coming, Zhang Desheng let go of his wife's hand and was about to flee with the child in his arms, but his wife grabbed him and said, "Don't leave me." ”
The woman grabbed very tightly, Zhang Desheng wanted to get rid of it but found that he couldn't get rid of it at all, he was ruthless and kicked his wife, the wife screamed miserably, rolled twice on the ground, and the child cried in his arms, calling his mother. After jumping for a while, when Zhang Desheng wanted to escape, he found that he had been surrounded by officers and soldiers.
The capture of Zhang Desheng was so smooth, which made Yang Lian a little strange, and when he asked clearly, he knew that Wu Ergou, the main force who ambushed him, had secretly fled, Yang Lian asked a little about the matter, and then announced that he would withdraw his troops and return to the city. In such a big move, only a few people were harvested in the end.
Yang Lian returned to Chuzhou and imprisoned Zhang Desheng's family.
In the Jiedu Embassy, Yang Lian was thinking about how to solve Zhang Desheng's matter, killing him was just a gesture, and it was too cheap for him. When Yang Lian was thinking, Fu Jinzhan came, and when he saw Yang Lian pondering, he asked.
Yang Lian put things simply, Fu Jinzhan couldn't help laughing, and said a plan. Yang Lian was taken aback when she heard this, Fu Jinzhan was doing him a great favor, wasn't she worried about things being self-defeating?
The prison was very dark, and the floor was covered with straw, and I slept on it, and I was a little panicked. Zhang Desheng didn't care, but his son was crying all day long, which made him flustered. I've been in prison for three days, and I don't have enough to eat with just a little bit of food every day.
Compared with before, the current life is not a little worse than before, and in this regard, the wife is complaining again, and the younger brother and sister are also dissatisfied in their words, and the consequences of impulsiveness are really terrible.
Zhang Desheng lowered his head and didn't speak, what he was most worried about was his son, the Zhang family couldn't have no roots, otherwise he would be a sinner through the ages. There is no day or night in the prison, there are no windows, and I don't know when, when Zhang Desheng woke up, there were a few more people around him.
Yang Lian was standing outside watching him when a servant opened the door and several heavily armed soldiers walked in.
Zhang Desheng bit his lip and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Take him out." Yang Lian shouted.
Zhang Desheng looked like he was about to be captured, but the officers and soldiers stepped forward and took away not him, but his three-year-old son.
"What are you guys doing at this time?" Zhang Desheng was taken aback and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Chen Tie.
Zhu Qi took the child and went out, and soon, Zhang Desheng heard a heart-rending sound from the child, in addition to the sound of a whip.
The woman cried and threw herself on the ground, pleading and pleading.
"Jiedu envoy, everything is my fault, it has nothing to do with the child, please be magnanimous and let my son go." Zhang Desheng knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said.
Yang Lian looked at him lightly and said, "Zhang Desheng, what qualifications do you have to bargain with this section?" What you do, even if you kill you 10,000 times, is not enough to pay back. ”
Zhang Desheng kowtowed and said: "Jiedu envoy, I will bear all the consequences, even if it is a thousand cuts, I will not frown, and ask the Jiedu envoy to let him go and leave a root for the Zhang family." ”
Yang Lian laughed out loud, and after laughing, he snorted coldly and said, "A thousand cuts, I'm not interested in this section, but it's not impossible to spare this child, this section wants you to do one thing, can you do it?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Desheng said hurriedly as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Okay, bring the child back." ”
Zhu Qi got the order and brought the child back, Zhang Desheng hugged the child, looked left and right, the child was not injured at all, and he felt a little at ease. At this time, he also understood that the festival envoy must have something important for him to do.
In another room, Yang Lian paced slowly and said what he thought in his heart, it was very simple, he wanted Zhang Desheng to rush to the Han Kingdom, contact the thirteen families in Huaibei, and make trouble in the Han Kingdom, the purpose was to cause civil strife in the Han Kingdom.
Zhang Desheng was very surprised, Yang Jiedu did this, did he have an intention to go north? But why didn't he just go into the army? This matter is a big deal, Zhang Desheng is not very sure, but the lives of his wife and children are in the hands of Yang Jiedu, and he can only choose to obey orders.
Yang Lian thought about it for a while, and gave the order to go down, block the border between Chuzhou and Han, and strictly investigate, so that Zhang Desheng and others must not be allowed to escape to Han. At the same time, all villages are still strictly ordered to strengthen their precautions. Leaving the village, Yang Lian took the soldiers to Liujiazhuang to search carefully, but there were no clues left in Liujiazhuang, and he didn't know where Zhang Desheng had fled.
After returning to Chuzhou, Yang Lian has been thinking about how to catch Zhang Desheng. A wanted notice is necessary, but Zhang Desheng will certainly not sit still.
The next day, not only in the city of Chuzhou, but also in all villages outside the city, Zhang Desheng's wanted notice was posted, and Yang Lian's festival envoy seal was hung under the notice, as long as Zhang Desheng was caught or reported, Yang Lian would reward him. Yang Lian also hopes that there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and someone will report Zhang Desheng. At the same time, the soldiers were asked to patrol around to find Zhang Desheng's whereabouts, and for a while, tension became inside and outside the city of Chuzhou.
After waiting for two days, someone provided news, saying that it was in the northwest of the city, close to the Han Kingdom, where there were many dense forests, and there were many people in the forest recently, looking at their appearance, they did not look like hunters in the forest, and the accent of their speech was a little special, not like people in the Chuzhou area.
After careful interrogation, Yang Lian felt that it was necessary to take a look, so he ordered two hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry and rushed towards the location mentioned by the messenger. Yang Lian's purpose was to sneak attack, so he chose to travel at night. It was dark, the moon was unknown, and the stars were dotted around.
After sneaking out of the city, the officers and soldiers did not light torches, and under the leadership of the informant, they walked towards the dense forest in the northwest direction of the city. No one said anything along the way, and after walking for more than two hours, they finally arrived outside the dense forest. Yang Lian did not rush to attack, but waited.
Yang Lian listened carefully, there were birds chirping above the dense forest, and in addition, Yang Lian could also see birds hovering in mid-air through the night. In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is that there are people in the forest.
Since there are certain people in the forest, Yang Lian is relieved, he sent people to guard the dense forest, the dense forest is close to the river, although there are many exits, but five hundred infantry three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, can still block the dense forest. As long as they find people, the cavalry can quickly catch up with them. Now what Yang Lian needs to do is to wait, wait for the dawn, and then wait for the rabbit to come out.
For the sake of safety, Yang Lian asked Zhu Qi to return to the city, transferred 3,000 soldiers and horses, besieged step by step, and completely surrounded the dense forest. This night is very long, but it is also very short, the soldiers hurry up to rest in the night, only a small number of soldiers are monitoring the dense forest, the sky is finally bright, Yang Lian stared at the dense forest, and ordered Chen Tie to let the soldiers get up and prepare to arrest Zhang Desheng.
The sky finally dawned, and Zhang Desheng stretched his waist. Zhang Desheng has not rested well in the past few days, and his wanted notices are posted inside and outside Chuzhou City, and he is like a lost dog, panicking all day long. Zhang Desheng originally planned to flee to the Han Kingdom, but soldiers were suddenly stationed on the border, patrolling day and night, strictly checking the passing merchants and people, and also comparing his portraits around, so that Zhang Desheng did not dare to risk himself. Therefore, he could only hide in the dense forest and wait for the opportunity.
Wu Ergou had already left, he covered his face, Yang Lian and the others didn't know what he looked like, so he was not wanted, Wu Ergou told Zhang Desheng that he would return to Huaibei first, and then bring people to support. The words are very good, but Zhang Desheng knows that once Wu Ergou goes, nine times out of ten he will definitely not come back, the husband and wife are the same forest birds, and they fly separately when disaster comes, and they are only in a cooperative relationship with each other, and they are temporarily together because of interests, and there is no loyalty at all. Will Wu Ergou come back? Will it confront the government? It's impossible.
Zhang Desheng was dissatisfied, but he was helpless, what else could he do? Wu Ergou is a lot of people, he wants to leave, Zhang Desheng can't keep him at all, after Wu Ergou left, Zhang Desheng is even more weak, he can only hide in the dense forest, eat some dry food, sometimes lucky, find birds and birds in the forest, pluck the feathers, wash them by the river, roast and eat.
Eating is still a trivial matter, worrying about fear is the most important thing, he often touches his head, thinking that when will this head be gone? Now that I think about it, with land, I also have the conditions to survive, why do I have to be a Feng woman again and return to my old business? It's also greedy to say, if he didn't want to take a few more acres of land, how could he let his brother become a soldier, and if his brother was not a soldier, how could he die? If he didn't die, how could he be so angry that he would attack the envoys? (To be continued.) )
