Besides, Liu Qian, he and the remaining two hundred households rode horses, and the three of them fled with their guards all the way, running out for more than ten miles in one go, until their men and the robbers chasing them were gone, and these three guys dared to rest and rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them sat on the avenue without any image, almost after resting. Liu Qian sat on the ground and looked at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but cry bitterly: "It's over, it's over, I was ordered to suppress the mob, but I didn't see the face of the mob, I was defeated by the robbers, and when I went back, how could the county Yin spare me." After losing the army like this, and returning with a big defeat, I was still defeated by a group of robbers, and I waited for death and death. ”

When the other two hundred household officials heard this, their faces also changed greatly. Yes, when they encountered robbers, they fled without a fight, and they also caused a great defeat of the officers and soldiers, no matter which dynasty or generation this Nima is, the three of them are a stable capital crime, and crimes like theirs, not only will they die, but it is estimated that their families will also be affected.

When the two hundred households thought of that fate, their hearts were full of fear and despair.

But I have to say that people are in despair, and the potential to explode is really unimaginable. No, one of the two hundred households, surnamed Baihu, came up with a way. I saw that the grandson surnamed Baihu gritted his teeth and said to Liu Qian, who was crying: "My lord, my subordinates have a plan, maybe they can save our lives." ”

When Liu Qian heard the words of the grandson surnamed Baihu, he immediately stopped crying, as if he had seen a savior, and held the hand of the grandson surnamed Baihu and said: "Sun Baihu, you say quickly, is there any way to save our lives." And the other Baihu also looked at Sun Baihu with hope on his face at this time, after all, if he could live, who would want to die.

Sun Baihu glanced at the two of them, waved his hand to signal the two of them to approach him, and after both of them leaned over, Sun Baihu lowered his voice and said to Liu Qian and them: "My lord, you just said that the robbers defeated us, but the last general thought that it was not the robbers who defeated us, but those anti-tax mobs in Xucheng Town. The mob did not hide the tax from the imperial court, so they planned to join forces with the robbers and cause chaos. And knowing that the Lord would lead his troops to attack today, he joined forces with the robbers on our way to prepare for an attack on us. Although the adults led us to fight to the death in the mob, the mob was far outnumbered by us because of the alliance with the robbers, and because we were outnumbered, although we fought to the death to kill the thieves, we still could not escape defeat. The adults wanted to burn the enemy jade, but for the sake of the overall situation, they led us to break through desperately, but the thieves were too strong to break through for a while. Fortunately, Wang Baihu fought hard to kill the thieves, so that our army was able to break out of the encirclement, but Wang Baihu died of exhaustion in the breakthrough. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Baihu glanced at Liu Qian and another Baihu official and said, "My lord, do you think such a statement can save our lives?" ”

Although it was a question, there was a ruthless firmness in Sun Baihu's eyes.

When Liu Qian and the others heard Sun Baihu's words, they also gritted their teeth and said: "This is the case, where is the rhetoric." ”

Saying that, Liu Qian pulled out his waist knife, slashed it on his arm and leg, and then said to Sun Baihu with a fierce face: "Since it is a breakthrough, how can you do it if you are not injured, but wait a minute, don't forget to seal the mouths of others, no, no, but let them understand that we were defeated by the mob, you two understand." ”

The two hundred households looked at Liu Qian's fierce eyes, and each took a knife to cut a few wounds on his body, and then said to Liu Qian: "The last general, naturally understand." ”

As for what kind of consequences the people of Xucheng Town will suffer after they report these words, they don't care, after all, as long as they can save their lives and die some outsiders, what can they do.

And the result of the matter evolved like this, it is estimated that Xu Ming did not expect it, but if Xu Ming knew Liu Qian's thoughts, he would definitely be happy in his heart. After all, as long as the county Yin Feng Fule believes Liu Qian's words, it is equivalent to pushing the entire Xucheng Town to the opposite side of the imperial court, and Xu Ming will be completely sure that he will rebel with the people of Xucheng Town.

At that time, that is, at more than nine o'clock in the future, Liu Qian and his two hundred households, with more than 100 defeated soldiers gathered in the afternoon, returned to the county seat dejectedly.

At this time, the gate of the county town has long been closed, and there are several officers and soldiers guarding the gate on the city wall, but they are also listless at this time, after all, ancient times are different from now, there is not so much colorful nightlife, in that era when ordinary people can't even light candles, the vast majority of the people have maintained the habit of "sunrise and sunrise and sunrise", nine o'clock for ancient times, it was really late.

But Liu Qian and the others were really frightened, and they didn't dare to spend the night outside the city at all, so after collecting most of the defeated troops, Liu Qian rushed to the county with people. Because most of the officers and soldiers had night blindness and could not see the road at night, Liu Qian and his team lit a lot of torches, and let those officers and soldiers who did not have night blindness return to the county seat with those with night blindness.

At first, Liu Qian was far away, and the officers and soldiers couldn't see anyone, and they thought it was the robbers who came to attack the county seat, and when Liu Qian approached, they found that this group of people was the county lieutenant who went out at noon to suppress the mob.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall took advantage of Liu Qian's firelight to see the injuries of the county lieutenant and the other two hundred households, and the number of officers and soldiers in Liu Qian's group has shrunk so much, so they naturally understand that something has happened to the county lieutenant.

So, before Liu Qian could call the door below, the officers and soldiers guarding the city even ran down to open the door, after all, they didn't want to touch the county lieutenant's head at this juncture.

Outside the city gate, Liu Qian and the three of them looked at the slowly opening city gate, each glanced at each other, and nodded with a determined look.

The chief officer guarding the gate was a chief, and he was also the brother of the Wang Baihu who died in the battle, but before the city gate was completely opened, he walked to Liu Qian and the three of them in three steps, and asked Liu Qian and the three of them: "Lord County Lieutenant, what happened to this, and where is my eldest brother?" ”

Liu Qian sighed when he heard Wang Shichang's question, and said to Wang Shichang with a sad face: "The mob of Xucheng Town united with the robbers to make a rebellion, and we were outnumbered and defeated, and Wang Baihu was injured by thieves in the breakout, and finally died heroically. ”

When the king heard this, he was so sad that even the weapon in his hand fell to the ground, and he called out to his eldest brother, and then he hugged his face and cried bitterly.

Seeing that Wang Shichang was like this, the hundred households surnamed Sun also pretended, dismounted and comforted them, and then they took the officers and soldiers who were as sad as Wang Shichang into the city. After the three of them entered the city, they didn't care about settling down their officers and soldiers, but rode straight to the county office.

Two quarters of an hour later, in the hall of the county government, Feng Fule had already listened to Liu Qian's report, although Liu Qian and the others were talking about the argument they had discussed in the afternoon to shirk their responsibilities, but such a statement still could not change the fact that the officers and men had failed.

So Feng Fule was still very angry, extremely angry. Feng Fule looked at Liu Qian who was kneeling on the ground, thinking about this person's previous incompetence and today's defeat of the army. is even more angry. Then I saw Feng Fule, who was extremely angry, picked up the teacup next to him and threw it at Liu Qian, fortunately the water in the teacup was not hot, otherwise Liu Qian would probably be disfigured this time. But even so, Liu Qian's forehead was colored, and blood remained on Liu Qian's face, but Liu Qian didn't even dare to wipe it.

Seeing this, Sun Baihu was also taken aback by Feng Fule's actions, but then he kowtowed to Feng Fule and said: "The last general is guilty, the last general failed to complete the adult's order, and the last general deserves death!" Sin deserves death! This Sun Baihu kowtowed, and at the same time cried in pain.

I have to say that this Sun Baihu is really poisonous, this sentence seems to be a confession, but in fact it is threatening Feng Fule: "Don't forget, it was your order to send us out, we deserve to die if we are defeated, can you escape." ”

And Liu Qian and another hundred household officials were able to climb to such a position, naturally they were not fools, and the meaning of such extraneous words could still be understood. So Liu Qian and another hundred households also kowtowed one after another to "confess".

When Feng Fule saw them like this, he even felt like his heart and lungs were exploding. Then I saw Feng Fule covering his chest with his hands, slumped on the chair in pain, and pointed at the three of them with his finger: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

When Liu Qian and the three of them heard Feng Fule's words, they kowtowed and retreated, and when the three of them came out of the county government gate, Liu Qian wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve. After the blood was wiped dry, Liu Qian said to the two hundred households beside him: "It's time for us to scatter our wealth, after all, there is still a Su Ri Lakun." ”

When Liu Qian said Su Ri Lakun's name, he said it completely with gritted teeth, and Su Ri Lakun's name seemed to pop out of Liu Qian's teeth.

Thinking of Su Ri Lakun's greed again, Liu Qian's already somewhat painful face looked even more hideous.
