Chapter 19: Homecoming
"What for?"
A Caiyang city guard soldier stared at the dirty three people in front of him, with obvious disdain on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although they vaguely knew what big people the county commander and the county lieutenant were entertaining, Qin Jie didn't bring his intentions to this level after all, so although the soldiers were stern, they still had a good heart in their hearts.
Seeing that it was about to pass the evening, Jingzhou also needed a curfew at night, and when he saw three people at this time, the soldiers had to interrogate him.
"The villain is from Xiangyang, wow, he encountered the Yellow Turban Thief who burned down the village, so he fled with his daughter and son-in-law."
"Refugees?" The soldier rested his chin with one hand, his eyes constantly rolling, as if thinking about something.
"Master Jun, there is only so much money left under him, you look at it and buy some wine to drink, my wife and my father and I have to go into the city to find a place to stay."
The son-in-law spoke in a very small voice, and the soldier took a few five-baht coins he gave and weighed them in his hand, and was just about to let go, when suddenly something suddenly came to mind.
"Why don't you kid have a Jingzhou accent?" As soon as the soldier said this, he immediately tightened the spear in his hand.
The father-in-law immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised. This kid was recruited by the villain, and his ancestral home is Sili. ”
"Phew!" When the soldier heard this, he was even more disgusted, "A good man with hands and feet still wants to be rich, and he is also a bad thing without seeds, and he is blind to such a little lady." ”
Turning his eyes off the son-in-law, he looked at his daughter's face, and saw that the little woman's face was full of dust, and she immediately scolded.
"Blind master's dog eyes, still an ugly embryo!"
The soldier seemed to be in no good mood for a day, and waved his hand impatiently, "That's it, let's go in, settle in the city, if you disturb the purity of the brothers, the military master will not spare you!" ”
"The province of the province." The father-in-law took his daughter and son-in-law and nodded for a while, and quickly approached the city.
…
"What people!" A soldier who was napping suddenly had a spirit, and just as he was about to scream, he felt a cool feeling in his neck, and then he collapsed softly downward.
But his exclamation caught the attention of two of his companions, and just as he was about to rush this way, a female figure appeared in his eyes, and the next moment the dagger was already in his throat.
The soldier, who was still alive, saw his companion clutching the weapon on his neck and struggling in pain, and he spread his legs and prepared to run.
But the man hiding in the corner saw the opportunity, quickly pressed the trigger, and the arrow was stuck in the back of his heart, although unwillingly, he fell to the ground with a pop, stirring up a puff of dust.
"It's still easy to use a hand crossbow." The man said without expression, and in less than a moment he was dealing with the dead soldier.
In an alley where no one was around, the three of them had already changed into the armor of Cai Yang's soldiers.
"Strategist, what do you need to do next?" Huang Zhong carefully placed the soldier's long knife on his waist, although it was certainly not as good as his own sword, but it was still a worthy weapon.
As soon as Huang Zhong said this, Huang Wudie also looked at Wei Yu with blank eyes, the dust on her face had been washed clean, and she was still the "ugly embryo" in the mouth of the soldiers defending the city.
"Wait, I've just sent a signal, and the two spies who entered the city first should come here to meet me."
Wei Yu was very anxious, but at this time, he couldn't mess up, and it was impossible to attack the county government dignitaries, so he could only find out the information first.
Sure enough, within a while, a man had jumped off the roof, although he did not have the skills of a first-class general, but his steps were relatively vigorous.
"Your Excellency." The man knelt down on one knee and had already surrendered his hands.
Compared with Huang Zhong and others who are called Weiyu military divisions, they are more willing to call them adults, leaders and the like.
"How's it going?"
"Lord Hui, Cheng Changshi and General Xu are already in the county government, although Qin Jie entertains everyone on the surface, but I am afraid that there will be bad intentions, so I left B there to take care of it."
"Yes." Wei Yu sighed softly, A, B, C and Ding are the four strongest detectives under Chen Jia, and at present, A and B have been transferred to Wei Yu's subordinates.
looked at Jia Weiyu and continued to ask: "Who are the current generals of Caiyang City, and how many guards are there?" ”
"The general is Qin Jie's chief bookkeeper, called Du Yuan, a native of Jingxiang, and he is quite powerful. As for this Caiyang City, after Qin Jie's operation for a long time, there are already more than 4,000 guards. ”
"Four thousand? Du Yuan? Wei Yu was surprised for a while, and the four thousand soldiers of Caiyang City greatly surprised him. These numbers are completely enough to eat the three thousand people in Xu Huang's hands.
But he also knew that Gu Yong couldn't blame him, because how many soldiers in these county orders would not be reported, and most of them hid these soldiers who exceeded the establishment in the name of private soldiers in well-connected families, after all, the family was the expert in hiding the population.
As for this Du Yuan, Wei Yu has been able to determine that it is the person who fell into the grass with Liao Hua, although he doesn't know if the two know each other now, but he can be sure that the historical trajectory of this person has also been deviated.
The chain reaction brought by himself has gradually affected the overall situation, but Wei Yu is no longer in the mood to care about these at this time.
In the next moment, the soldiers in Caiyang County suddenly surged, and Wei Yu felt bad in his heart, so he looked at Jia who had already gotten up.
A carefully looked at the direction in which the soldiers were assembled, his brows were already twisted, and he turned around and said: "My lord, the big thing is not in time, this group of people is obviously gathering in the direction of the county government, I am afraid that there has been a change on the county government, I should go and answer it quickly." ”
As A spoke, he grabbed a soldier who had fallen behind, covered his mouth with one hand, and broke his neck with the other hand.
Seeing that Jia had changed his clothes, Wei Yu said: "Now let's follow the team first and go to the county government to see if we can meet Gongming and Shaowen." Two hours are approaching, and when Zhongye and Yuan Jian will attack the city, success or failure in one fell swoop. ”
…
On the other side, Xu Huang had already recaptured his big axe, and Cheng Xi beside him did not have the demeanor of a literati, holding a crossbow in his hand, and from time to time he suddenly had cold arrows at those pursuing soldiers.
When Qin Jie besieged them, the two thought that they were going to die, but at this moment, one of the sword and axe players suddenly turned against them, slashed the people around him to the ground, and gave Xu Huang and Chengxi an exit to kill.
From the mouth of the sword and axeman, "Two adults, go quickly, I am a subordinate of the military advisor." The two of them already knew that it was Wei Yu who came, and his sentry had unknowingly blended into the inside of the knife and axeman, so he gave himself a way out.
As for the fate of the detective, both of them already knew that it was nothing more than Qin Jie, who was burned to the extreme with anger, chopped into mashed meat, but the two of them did not have nostalgia, because they didn't want their people to sacrifice in vain.
Xu Huang's big axe flashed, and there was another splash of blood, and seeing that the first team of people chasing after him had already died, he said to Cheng Xi.
"Shaowen, we are already some distance away from the pursuers, it is better to find an alley to hide for a while, and get rid of it for the time being."
Cheng Xi nodded, and saw the big fork in the road ahead, and when he was just about to decide where to go, a big hand had already blocked his mouth.
He couldn't see the appearance of the person behind him clearly, but he glanced at Xu Huang and found that Xu Huang was also locked in his mouth, and the brave Xu Huang couldn't escape, how could Cheng Xi, as a literati, resist?
"Don't panic, we're military advisors."
The two of them were dragged to a low house where no one was around, and they heard the words ringing in their ears. And who were Huang Zhong and Jia who saved them?
Looking ahead, I saw a familiar appearance in the dark place, and there was a petite figure beside that person...
Qin Jie held his sword and looked angrily at the soldiers who were searching, he was already very angry in his heart, but the duck in his hand flew away, and he blamed the temporary renegade knife and axeman!
Cutting that knife and axe man into pulp seemed to be still angry, and Qin Jie stabbed a few useless subordinates in his eyes on the spot.
When he was about to continue the search, he heard the shouts of killing outside the city, so he grabbed a soldier and asked, "What's going on outside the city?" ”
"Back... Back to the words of the prefectural commander. The soldier seemed to be frightened half to death by Qin Jie's red pupils, and replied tremblingly: "The soldiers of Yuan Shu outside the door have already called for battle, and Master Du has already led the soldiers to fight!" ”
"Damn." Qin Jie scolded fiercely, although he was angry at this time, he realized that the most important thing was to win the battle, if he killed Xu Cheng and the two of them were defeated and the city was destroyed, everything he did would become meaningless.
"Follow me up to the city tower to cheer for Master Du!"
Under the city tower, Du Yuan had already led an army of 4,000 out of the city, and this time he did not adopt the tactics of holding on.
In his opinion, the backbone of the enemy has been trapped in Caiyang City behind him, and his side has the advantage of troops, so he is ready to go out of the city to meet the attack. How could he give up this monstrous feat?
When he stood in front of the two armies, he began to regret it, where were there three thousand people, and there were at least five thousand people in the black oppression.
"Qin Jie misunderstood me!" Du Yuan scolded fiercely, but there was no time to retreat at this time, how did he know that it was not Qin Jie's intelligence that was wrong, but that Wei Yu brought another three thousand armor soldiers.
After Liao Hua saluted Wen Ping, who was leading the army, he stepped forward, and as the deputy general who assisted Wen Ping, his task was to fight with the enemy.
"The thief is bold and dares to collude with the thief to murder the important ministers of our army, and today is the day of your death."
Du Yuan was holding back the fire in his belly, how could he not stand Liao Hua's insults at this time, and immediately patted the horse and rushed to meet it.
"Die!" Liao Hua was like the angry King Kong at this time, his pupils were like copper bells, and the long knives were raised to the sky together, and he stabbed Du Yuan, who had just revealed his flaws!
"You!" Du Yuan was at a loss in the face of the powerful blow, and he was about to raise his gun, but he always underestimated Liao Hua's martial arts.
Snapped, the handle of the gun broke in response, and along with the handle of the gun, there was also his head Du Yuan.
This pair of historical enemies still staged a familiar scene, but the identities of the two have changed, the time has changed, the location has changed, and the ending remains the same.
Seeing Liao Hua's formation beheading the enemy general, Wen Ping began to charge with the army, he liked this feeling, and the six thousand army seemed to be at ease under his leadership. The four thousand soldiers of Caiyang City lost their morale because of Du Yuan's death, and all that awaited them was harvest!
Qin Jie stared at the scene of the defeat of his army under the city, which was all his savings for half a year. A few hours ago, the situation was firmly in his own hands, and a few hours later, the peak was turning.
He seems to have seen the light of Du Yuanwei's planned path, and he seems to be about to touch the pole of power. Whether it is Xiangyang or Jiangxia, he will see the dawn of his own secession in the troubled times.
But now he understands that he underestimated Cheng Xi, underestimated Xu Huang, underestimated Yuan Shu's army, and underestimated everyone. The so-called peerless plan is just a rhetoric, and the so-called great prospect is just a dream after all.
"Leave, my lord, if we continue like this, we will die."
Qin Jie was pulled back to reality by his henchman's words, and he had already realized that evacuating now might save his life. He even believes that as long as he can lie dormant for a while, he may not be able to make a comeback with his own skills.
Yuan Shu! Qin Jie remembered this name to the death, and when he was about to leave with a few guards with great reluctance and unwillingness in his heart, he heard a low cry coldly.
"Today, thank you so much for the warm hospitality of Qin County Ling."
He looked at the soldier in Cai Yang's uniform who suddenly said such a sentence, and just as he was about to scold, he saw that the familiar giant axe had been swung towards him.
Xu Huang! He will never forget this fierce face for the rest of his life. But his thoughts were limited to a few seconds.
Xu Huang grabbed the head of Qin Jie's de-energized body and shouted: "Qin Jie is dead, your army has been defeated, why don't you descend quickly?" ”
…
The evening had completely passed, but the blood light of Caiyang City seemed to be still flickering. In this campaign, Liao Hua defeated the 4,000 Caiyang defenders led by Du Yuan, killing more than 2,000 enemies and capturing more than 2,000. The thief leader Qin Jie Du Yuan ambushed him.
Wei Yu was already fighting in the city tower, watching Wen Ping Liao Hua take everyone to dispose of the corpse under the city tower, he seemed to feel very tired, but he just smiled slightly, because he still needed to persevere.
Huang Wudie's little girl leaned on Wei Yu's side very affectionately and was reluctant to leave, but Huang Zhong stood aside and smiled bitterly.
A stood in the back, looking at the corpse downstairs, his eyes in a trance, as if he didn't know what to think anymore.
Xu Huang and Cheng Xi were on the side, and Xu Huang's lips, who had a rather bold personality, were trembling faintly, and he finally squeezed out a few more words.
"I'm sorry."
"The general laughed, these are originally B's duties, some people are born to work hard for a mission, I think this kind of death is also a good destination for him."
"Can you tell you your names?" This time it was Cheng Xi who spoke.
A laughed for a while, and it seemed that he hadn't been asked for his name for a long time.
"My name is Ji Ying, and my name is Ji Hu. We are twin brothers..."
