Chapter 481: The Little Things, the Big Picture
In Suizhou City, everyone in Yuan's mansion hugged and hugged, drank heartily, and called a heart blooming, but the Shandong army soldiers standing outside the mansion were heavy-faced and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Outside the city, there were nearly a thousand disheveled officers and soldiers kneeling, these people were still shocked and frightened when they learned that their commander had been executed, and suddenly heard that Anton Hou had set up a big banquet in Yuan's mansion, which was already lively at this time, and suddenly turned into a happy smile.
Not long after, a sturdy Shandong general wearing iron armor and a shiny leg skirt around his waist walked over and asked in a thick voice:
"Is everyone here?"
A sentry officer who had been guarding the area for a long time saw the coming, hurriedly stepped forward, clenched his right hand into a fist and struck him heavily on his left chest, and replied:
"General Yu, Liu Bu and the officials and soldiers who are in turmoil in the city, a total of one thousand and nine people are left, all here."
At this time, a general of the Liu Department opened his mouth and said nonchalantly:
"Hey, sooner or later, you're going to have to enter that outer department, why don't you loosen our ties early?"
Hearing this, the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately burst into laughter.
It is also said that at present, there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to be soldiers, and these nearly 1,000 rebels, as long as you are willing to collect them, will become more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in a blink of an eye, and they are all competing for control in other places.
At present, the capital of the military generals in various places is the number of soldiers and horses under their command, and even if these more than 1,000 people cannot be powerful in the important land, they can at least ensure that they can be a local overlord in a small town.
Dong Youyin walked up to the general who had just spoken, looked him up and down a few times, sneered a few times, and said coldly:
"Just you crooked melons and cracked dates, and you also want to join the foreign department of our Shandong army?"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Shandong Army next to him laughed loudly, Dong Youyin raised his foot and kicked him in the lower abdomen, seeing that this guy was grinning in pain, he almost kicked out the urine, and immediately pinched his nose and walked aside.
Dong Youyin waved his hand and said in a low voice:
"Lord Hou has an order to cut off all these rebels who have not achieved enough success and more than enough to lose, and transport their heads directly to the capital to report to the imperial court."
"Okay!"
The soldiers of the Shandong Army responded a few times, pulled out the steel knife on their waists, walked in front of those chaotic soldiers, and waved it down on their heads without hesitation.
The continuous screams suddenly sounded outside Suizhou City, and the Yuan Mansion was still laughing openly, drinking for three rounds, and the women in red and white were mixed in, hugging and hugging on the left and right.
In the city, it was the dead of night.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared outside the Zhizhou Mansion, and a few small officials guarding the door were about to go up to stop them, but they didn't think that the other party had the heart to say a word at all, and directly pulled out the steel knife.
The man pushed the gatekeeper away, holding the token and shouting:
"We are under the order of Anton Hou, and everyone who knows each other will be out of the way."
"If you dare to take a step forward, you will be splashed with blood on the spot!"
Chen Jia, the governor of Suizhou at that time, had just written a letter and delivered it to the servant, and instructed him to bring it to Nandu within three days and hand it over to Shi Kefa, the secretary of the current Nandu Military Department.
This servant is calm, and he can be trusted.
The servant knew that this matter was very important, and Anton Hou had set up a big banquet in Yuan's mansion, and it was the most appropriate time to go out of the city at this time, and he was waiting to pay homage to the master of the family.
I didn't want to, the door suddenly opened by itself, and the two turned their heads to look over, but saw Chen Shuilian, the daughter of Chen Jia of Zhizhou, wearing a light pink profane dress, standing in front of the door.
The servants ignored the incivility and didn't look back, but Chen Zhizhou scolded his beloved daughter repeatedly.
"Look at you, since you were a child, you have been married to the son of Wei Guogong, why are you still dressed like this before the wedding, how can you have a little bit of famous lady's virtue, and you won't go back!"
Chen Shuilian was unmoved, looking at her father with a cowardly face, just shaking her head constantly.
Chen Jia seemed to notice something unusual, and was about to ask, when the door was kicked open, and a general in crimson armor appeared in front of him.
This person was dark-faced, burly, followed by several armored soldiers, Chen Jia saw that his heart sank, why did the people of the Shandong army come.
Looking at the environment in the room, Deng Heizi nodded, and two soldiers of the Shandong Army stepped forward with swords and grabbed the servant who wanted to escape from the room while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos.
Although the servant struggled as best he could, he had little effect in front of the two Shandong soldiers, like an underage child, who was completely subdued in a few strokes.
Deng Heizi took the letter from the servant's arms, did not open it, but violently pulled out the steel knife on his waist, turned around and hacked the servant to death.
"Lord Chen, where are you going to send the letter?"
Chen Jia's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the Shandong army would be rampant to such an extent, killing people in the mansion of the imperial court.
After a while, Chen Jia came back to his senses and said fearlessly:
"Even if it is the soldiers and horses under the command of Anton Hou, who broke into the official's mansion in the middle of the night to kill people and discipline, there should be an explanation!"
Deng Heizi was a person who didn't talk much, he put the blood-stained knife back into its sheath, shook it in the air with the letter in his hand, and said:
"Why the last general is here, Lord Zhizhou should understand in his heart, so don't deceive yourself." Speaking of this, Deng Heizi kicked the corpse next to his feet, intentionally or unintentionally, and continued:
"Lord Zhizhou doesn't have to think about delaying time anymore, in this year, what should our Shandong Army do, looking at Suizhou and beyond, can anyone dare to say something?"
Chen Jia thought for a long time, and suddenly understood in his heart, and suddenly sneered and said:
"This Anton Hou, such a powerful calculation!"
Chen Jia knew in his heart that since the letter had fallen into his hands, there was no room for maneuver, and suddenly, he suddenly made a move.
There is no sword in this study, Chen Jia also supervised the soldiers in his early years, so he threw a heavy blow with his bare hands, Deng Heizi subconsciously dodged sideways, but it hit his heart.
Immediately after, Chen Jia picked up the vase next to the table and threw it towards the people of the Shandong army, seeing that the two hits missed, he still did not give up, shouted, picked up a chair and rushed over.
Dodging left and right, Deng Heizi couldn't help but feel angry, and kicked directly towards the main door, only to hear a "click", the wooden chair cracked, and Chen Shuilian's screams were heard behind.
Chen Jia stepped on the table, jumped out, and held the long sword hanging on the far left side of the room.
Deng Heizi followed, and did not give him any time to draw his sword, and made a move like the wind, intending to force Chen Jia to submit.
As a last resort, Chen Jia could only put down the long sword and retreat again and again, but his eyes rolled around, turned around and ran towards the window.
"Dare to act in front of the Shandong army!"
Deng Heizi sneered, pulled out the long sword hanging in the room, and without leaving his hand, he kicked Chen Jia back a few steps with a flying kick, and rushed forward to stab a sword into his left hand.
Chen Shuilian's screams and Chen Jia's miserable howls were intertwined, Deng Heizi nailed his left hand to the table, kicked his eyes and asked coldly:
"Lord Zhizhou, my lord has an order in advance, telling me not to kill you, but I didn't say that this flower-like beauty can't move at all, do you say it or not!"
Shouting here, in order to cooperate with Deng Heizi, several Shandong army officers and soldiers could only move forward step by step, constantly forcing Chen Shuilian, who was cowardly and shrinking.
Although the Shandong soldiers would not touch Chen Shuilian in the slightest, Chen Jia couldn't care about it when he saw this meeting, and shouted at the moment:
"Don't touch my daughter, what do you want to know, I say, I'll say it all!"
