Chapter 7: The Fight at the Station
After Zhao Ziliang turned around and walked out, he remembered what Fu Meng Lingjing had just said, it was indeed not safe to leave the Turkish envoy at the post station, if they were discovered by someone with a heart along the way, and leaked the news, so that the Turks in Shule Town would know what kind of consequences might occur, who could guarantee that the Turks would not have armed forces in Shule Town?
The more Zhao Ziliang thought about it, the more he felt unsteady, he couldn't help but speed up his pace when he walked, and when he walked out of the town guard's mansion, he was in a hurry, and accidentally collided with a person, he was tall and burly, so he was naturally fine, but the person who was hit was not happy, and he was hit by a stumbling stumbling all of a sudden, and he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhao Ziliang hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up.
There are a few lanterns hanging at the door of the town guard's mansion, some of them are bright, Zhao Ziliang saw that the person who was hit was full of beards on his chin, or squinted, and looked at his face in his thirties, not only thin and thin, but also short feet and lame, this image is really not flattering, but just now he bumped into someone, it is indeed a loss, and he said repeatedly: "Under Zhao Ziliang, I was walking in a hurry just now, and I accidentally bumped into Brother Tai, and I ask Brother Tai to forgive me!" ”
This thin and ugly man grinned in pain, and kept rubbing his buttocks and gasping: "Hiss-it's okay, it's okay, Brother Zhao is also unintentional!" ”
Zhao Ziliang remembered the envoy of the Turkey Horse at the post station, and it was inconvenient to stay here for too long, and when he saw this thin man wearing armor, he said: "I don't know what kind of position my brother has a high surname and a big name, and he holds in the town guard mansion?" ”
The thin man arched his hand and said: "Brother Feng Changqing, he is Lord Fumeng's entourage, and he just eats with Lord Fumeng!" ”
"Feng Changqing?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he heard this, this is the famous Tang Dynasty general Feng Changqing in the future? That's it? He was a little incredulous, but if the Tang Dynasty did not have a second Feng Changqing, then this person would undoubtedly succeed Gao Xianzhi as the deputy capital protector of Anxi and the envoy of the four towns of Anxi in the future.
sighed in his heart, but Zhao Ziliang remembered the safety of the envoy of the Turret in his heart, and immediately said to Feng Changqing: "Brother Feng, the junior brother still has an errand to do, and when the junior brother finishes his errand, he will definitely come to the door to make amends!" ”
Feng Changqing was born with an ugly appearance, and the people around him didn't treat him very well, at this time, Zhao Ziliang was so polite to him, he suddenly had a good impression, and hurriedly replied: "It's okay, since Brother Zhao has an errand, let's go on an errand first!" ”
"Little brother go first, farewell!" After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
After meeting with the three dogs, the two rode horses eagerly to the post station, just a cup of tea, the two rushed back to the post station, less than two hundred meters away from the post station, from the direction of the post station suddenly came to the sound of shouting and killing, Zhao Ziliang was shocked when he heard it, if the shouting and killing sound came from the post station, it would be very bad, so he beat the horses even more, and ran to the post station at the fastest speed.
Rushing to the door of the post station, Zhao Ziliang and Sangouzi saw that there was already chaos in the post station, and the two sides were fighting together, one of them was a soldier and horse he brought, and on the other side were more than a dozen black-clothed and masked people, all holding steel knives. At this time, one of his soldiers formed a shield and gun formation under the leadership of Wang Can, the chief of the main hall, and blocked the gate of the main hall, although there were many thieves, they could not rush into the main hall for a while.
"The thief is so daring, kill!" Zhao Ziliang burst into a shout, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, and rode his horse from behind to rush into the group of thieves and slash with the knife, cutting down several masked thieves in a few breaths, and several green fluorescents were sucked into the wrench.
The three dogs were also brave and abnormal at this time, following Zhao Ziliang to take care of each other, and with the cooperation of the two, the unsuspecting thieves were cut to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, most of the thieves were killed and wounded, and their morale plummeted, and when Wang Can saw this, he immediately took his soldiers to divide into three groups, a group of three, and formed an attack formation to take the initiative to attack the thieves.
Zhao Ziliang immediately rode his horse and turned around to chase over, brandished a horizontal knife, raised and fell with a knife, and cut the last three thieves to the ground in three strokes and five divisions by two.
The three dogs rode war horses and Wang Can, the chief of the army, chased them out with four soldiers, and Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered when he saw this: "Tie them all up, find someone to treat their injuries, don't let them die!" ”
"Yes, man!" Wang Can agreed, and waved his hand to the four soldiers behind him, and the soldiers didn't know where to find ropes to tie up the three masked thieves who had been cut to the ground.
Wang Can said again: "Captain, there are still two thieves in the courtyard who are not dead, everyone else is dead, plus these three, there are a total of eighteen thieves, one of our side was killed in battle, and four were injured!" ”
"Let's go, go back!" Zhao Ziliang listened to Wang Can's report, rode his horse to the post station, and after confirming that the messenger was still safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Under the command of Zhao Ziliang, the soldiers in the courtyard were holding torches to neatly place the bodies of the dead thieves in the courtyard of the post station, and the body of a soldier killed in the battle was also collected properly, and the soldiers who were sent out to ask for a doctor also quickly brought the doctor to treat the wounded soldiers and thieves.
The torch illuminated the courtyard of the post station inside and out, Zhao Ziliang held the handle of the knife and walked around the corpses on the ground, and also observed, he squatted down in front of one of the thieves' corpses, unveiled the mask, the thief looked the same as the Tuqi Shi, in order to confirm the speculation in his heart, he contacted to uncover all the masks of the thieves' corpses, as expected, these thieves were all Tuqi Shi.
"Yicheng, where is Yicheng?" Zhao Ziliang turned around and shouted.
After the battle, some of the guests who stayed at the post station earlier but were frightened came out to watch, and the post soldiers and soldiers of the post station were naturally among them, hearing Zhao Ziliang's shout, a fat middle-aged man hurriedly agreed: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Ziliang was burly and tall, heroic and extraordinary, Yi Cheng thought that his military position must be not small, so he was extremely deferential, "I am Fan Ren here, I don't know what this general commands?" ”
"Prisoners?" Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but complain, how could someone still have such a name, this is also a strange anecdote.
"It's Fan Yang's Fan, Benevolent Ren!" Yi Cheng explained.
"Oh!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, and bowed his hand to Yicheng: "Bother Fan Yicheng, look at it, do you know these people on the ground?" ”
Fan Ren returned the salute, and said that he didn't dare to dare, and after some identification, Fan Ren shook his head and said: "I don't know, these people seem to be Tuqi Shi people!" ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Wang Can: "Bring those thieves who are not dead yet!" ”
"Yes!"
The injured thieves were quickly escorted over, and at this time their masks had all been removed, Zhao Ziliang pointed at these thieves and said to Fan Ren: "Look at these people again, do you know anyone!" ”
Fan Ren looked at the five injured thieves, his expression suddenly changed, and he pointed to one of the middle-aged thieves with a beard
"Isn't this the owner of the town's Beida Shun Warehouse, Negro?" ”
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he thought that there was a play, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Our town is not big, there are only so many shops that do business, although I don't know him very well, but I still know him!" Fan Ren said affirmatively.
Zhao Ziliang thought that the top priority now was to send the messenger to the town guard mansion safely, but his men were short of manpower, there were five thieves to guard, and he had to escort the messenger to the town guard mansion, if there were still thieves' accomplices in the town, after he led the team to escort the messenger to the town guard mansion, what if the thieves' accomplices came to attack the post station again? Now I can only send someone to the town guard mansion to ask for a visit to Fu Meng Lingjing, and ask him to send troops to pick up the messenger.
He immediately said to Sangouzi: "San'er, you go to the town guard mansion, ask to see General Fumeng, report what happened to the general just now, and ask the general to quickly send troops to pick up the messenger, I will take someone to guard here!" ”
"Yes, Brother Liang!"
