After tying up Zu Dashou, Zhu Qing and Xuanwu and other generals of the army drank tea and wine leisurely in the inn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Shopkeeper!" Zhu Qing suddenly shouted angrily, and the shopkeeper of the wild shop came out of the back room tremblingly.
"Will ...... Checkmate?! "The intact shopkeeper should have defected, Zu Dashou has been here for two days, the brothers of the Yedian are dead and wounded, those who are caught and flee are fleeing, and only the shopkeeper is safe, which can't help but make people suspicious.
"General, I'm going to clean up the portal?" Xuanwu asked, already drawing his sword.
The generals stared at Zhu Qing to see how he reacted. Zhu Qing took a sip of tea, "Jinyiwei can't tolerate traitors, I think he didn't serve the heavens, you can help him." ”
"Yes, General!" Xuanwu said, then got up and walked towards the shopkeeper.
"General, spare your life, General!" The shopkeeper knelt in front of Zhu Qing with a plop.
Zhu Qing didn't pay attention to it, just waved his hand to Xuanwu, "All the generals are eating and drinking tea in the hall, don't hurt your Yaxing, go to the back room." ”
"Yes!" Xuanwu said, then picked up the shopkeeper and walked to the back room.
"General! Spare your life, General, the last general will never dare again! The shopkeeper begged for mercy all the way.
When I entered the inner room, the door curtain hung down, and I only heard Xuanwu say coldly, "Don't blame Big Brother!" As he spoke, he heard a scream, thinking that the shopkeeper had been killed with a knife.
When the soldiers outside heard this, they were all frightened, and they stopped the teacups and bowls in their hands one after another, and looked fixedly at the curtain of the inner room.
Xuanwu came out of the curtain, holding a bloody short knife in his hand, and wiped it with a white cloth without a sound, and when it was clean, he inserted the short knife back into his waist, and the bloody white cloth was thrown into the basket in the corner with one hand. After that, he quietly returned to the table to eat and drink.
Zhu Qing didn't ask anymore, he was always at ease when doing things in Xuanwu.
"Come, it's about to dawn, let the new shopkeeper prepare steamed buns and mutton soup for the army, and we will drink a few more cups of him." Zhu Qing said, pouring wine into the Xuanwu bowl, drinking tea just now, and now eating wine.
Xuanwu didn't dare to refuse, nodded slightly, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The new shopkeeper with a few helpers cleaned up the inn that Zu Dashou had ruined, and began to make noodles and make steamed buns.
The generals saw that Zhu Qing did not move, and he had just cut his shopkeeper, no one dared to make a noise, so they could only silently follow Zhu Qing to eat wine and drink tea.
"General, the spies have come to report that several intruders have left the army with their sergeants and fled to Kaifeng." The young and vigorous Xian Xing said bravely.
When the generals heard this, they paused again, and when the generals pinched a handful of sweat for Xian Xing, Zhu Qing smiled slightly, and filled Xian Xing's wine bowl, "General Xian, they are running hungry, let's chase after we are full of food and drink, who do you say is running fast?" ”
"Of course it's us, but I'm afraid they'll run away long ago." Xian Xing responded.
The generals also nodded, in fact, the three troops led by Liu Xiangyi had already led the 10,000 troops of each department to retreat to Kaifeng after the battle of Yedian. Zhu Qing said that he could catch up, which made all the generals feel incredible.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the way forward is Kaifeng City, the reason why they dare to go out with the army, in addition to being lucky, is to try against Kaifeng City, and attack Kaifeng City back and forth. If I'm not mistaken, the camp is now in disarray. Seeing that the generals were puzzled, Zhu Qing explained.
"In that case, why can the general be so calm?" Shen Hui asked.
"Don't chase after the poor." Zhu Qing said, taking another sip.
Since the commander had spoken, the generals didn't say anything more, and the people chatted without saying a word, and before they knew it, it was still dawn.
At dawn, there was a sound in the direction of Kaifeng, and the dust and smoke were swaying all over the sky against the background of the morning sun.
"Report! The sergeant who left last night suddenly turned back! "A spy came to report.
When the generals heard this, they put down the cups in their hands and stood up!
"Do you have to kill the carbine?" Shen Hui and the others had already rushed out of the inn to investigate.
After everyone left, Zhu Qing gave Xuanwu a look, and the two of them walked out of the inn.
"General! Sure enough, it was the sergeants who escaped last night! It seems that they are moving very fast, and even the army is about to run out of order. Lu Chong said to Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing stretched out his hand with Xuanwu, and Xuanwu handed the clairvoyance to him, "General, it's them, this is not an attack, it's a retreat, and it's a rout!" ”
Zhu Qing took the glasses and glanced at them, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Huzi didn't disappoint us!" As he spoke, Zhu Qing put away his clairvoyance, pulled out his embroidered spring knife, and shouted angrily, "Warriors, it's time to punish those who defected!" Zhu Qing said, and took the lead in rushing up with a "driving" sound, and the other generals of the Great Western Army and the Chuang Army saw this and hesitated, after all, they were partners who rebelled together, and it was really a little unaccustomed to fighting in the same room like this. But the Jinyi Guard Pioneer Battalion is different, under Zhu Qing's order, no one dares to hesitate a step, although there are only 8,000 iron cavalry, but the Jinyi Guard Pioneer Battalion that followed Zhu Qing to kill has a shock to hundreds of thousands of troops, as if the 30,000 rebels in front of him are not enough to worry about.
"Two generals, what should I do? To be on or not to be on?! Xian Xing asked Shen Hui and Lu Chong beside him.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Up! Since the war with Zu Dashou last night, we have no turning back! Let's go, go and help Qinglong! As soon as Lu Chong gritted his teeth, he carried a big knife and led his generals to rush up, and Shen Hui also followed closely to support Zhu Qing.
However, before Lu Chong and the others arrived, Zhu Qing had already led the Jinyi Guard Pioneer Battalion to encircle the retreating rebels.
"Liu Xiangyi! As a general, you just passively responded to the battle, and now you are leading your troops to defect! What is the crime?! Zhu Qing shouted to Liu Xiangyi, the leader of the defected army, in front of the formation.
"Hmph, Qinglong, you are an official and I am a bandit, how can you not escape?" Liu Xiangyi saw that there was no way to escape and there was an interception in front of her, so she could only stiffen her scalp and call Zhu Qing for battle.
"Ridiculous! Since the imperial court has recruited peace, what officials are not officials and bandits? I think this is just an excuse for you to defect! Zhu Qing pointed at Liu Xiangyi angrily.
"Humph! What Zhao'an? Ming Ting is rotten to the bone, how can a few of you brocade guards save it? Qinglong, you are the most powerful general I Liu Xiangyi have ever seen, and those who know the times are Junjie, I advise you to surrender to my army this morning and try to dominate the industry! Liu Xiangyi didn't run away, so he confronted Zhu Qing in front of the battle, and what was even more ridiculous was that he also tried to win over Zhu Qing!
"A good person who knows the times is Junjie, I think that the dozens of generals behind me, such as General Shen and General Lu, are the real Junjie, and you are just a complete one!" Zhu Qing stared at Liu Xiangyi mockingly.
"What? What color? Liu Xiangyi naturally didn't know that this was an English word. Even the other generals didn't know what Zhu Qing was talking about, but judging from Zhu Qing's expression, this was not a nice word.
