Chapter 158: I'll Cope
The soldiers of Bajun not far away were taken aback when they saw the red light burst out, but Zhang Ren could see clearly, Huang Zhong's knife turned into a strange blood color under the sun, he didn't dare to slack off, he held the gun with both hands to greet it, only to hear the sound of "snap", the gun in Zhang Ren's hand was broken in two, in a panic, his head was biased, only to feel a cold ear, and half of the hair on the helmet had been cut off by Huang Zhong,
Zhang Ren's body was short, and Le Ma rushed past Huang Zhong, and shouted loudly: "General, move slowly, Zhang has a word to tell." ”
Huang Zhong put away the big knife and said coldly: "Zhang Ren, what else do you have to say." ”
Zhang Ren threw the two severed guns, and immediately hugged his fist at Huang Zhong, saying: "The general is strong in martial arts, Zhang is willing to bow to the wind, and my family master, Lord Liu, is eager to seek talent, I don't know if the general is willing to seek another career." ”
Huang Zhong laughed: "What is Liu Yan, Huang doesn't kill defenseless people, you go back and change your weapon, and we will fight again." ”
Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang has also heard of your family's state pastor Liu Xin's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but now that he is dead, the tree is falling and scattered, what else do you have to hesitate about, general." ”
The news of Liu Xin's attack, Zhang Ren didn't want to say it so early, his plan was to kill Xiangyang directly after taking Nanjun, and then talk about Liu Xin's death in Xiangyang, when the Jingzhou army was leaderless, the military spirit would be in chaos, and Xiangyang was at his fingertips, but now Huang Zhong couldn't pass this pass, so he had to sacrifice this killer weapon in advance.
Huang Zhong was furious: "Boy, you dare to talk nonsense, take your life." ”
Zhang Ren shouted: "Wait, the general listens to me, Liu Xin was ambushed on the road in Qike, and even the people and cars were crushed into powder, the general, please think about it, how confidential Liu Xin's entry into Qike, if his death is not true, how can Zhang know that he arrived in Qike County." ”
Huang Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, Liu Xin went to Qike County to participate in the Three Surnames Alliance, and there are not many people who really know it, and now even Zhang Ren knows it, is it ......
Seeing Huang Zhong's hesitation, Zhang Ren took the opportunity to rein in his horse, ran back to his main formation, and shouted back: "Jingzhou soldiers, your state pastor has been ambushed and killed in Qike County, and those who know the current affairs should dismount and surrender early, don't be a ghost who dies in vain." ”
The soldiers of Ba County also clamored in unison, and the momentum shook the sky, and the Jingzhou army really caused a wave of confusion, and Huang Zhong hurriedly shouted in response: "Everyone calm down, don't fall for the enemy's tricks." ”
I don't know who in the Jingzhou army shouted: "Kill them and avenge the Lord." ”
Immediately, the crowd was furious, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison: "Kill them and avenge the Lord." ”
Over the years, under the jurisdiction of Liu Xin, the status and salary of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army have gradually improved, in the past, the peddlers and pawns were synonymous with low social status, but in today's Jingzhou, eating food and being a soldier is definitely a promising profession, these soldiers are grateful to Liu Xin from the heart, even to the point of blind worship, just a short time of confusion quickly turned into anger, and now it has turned from anger to strength,
Seeing this scene, Huang Zhong waved his big knife and shouted: "Sons, rush forward and capture Zhang Ren alive." ”
The soldiers of Jingzhou shouted: "Capture Zhang Ren alive, capture Zhang Ren alive." "Rushing forward like a tide, these soldiers have undergone long-term and arduous training, and I don't know how many times they have experienced actual combat drills, and many tactical actions are subconsciously reacted, and they will not be out of shape in the slightest because of anger.
Zhang Ren did not appear in the scene of the enemy's confusion, but rushed over a group of angry bulls, Jingzhou soldiers were like crazy, like fierce tigers, as soon as they came into contact with the enemy, the knives and guns went straight to the fatal place on the Ba County soldiers, and the Ba County soldiers did not fully react, and in a blink of an eye, a large piece fell,
Huang Zhong took the lead, slashed left and right, such as entering a no-man's land, Zhang Ren had no weapons, and lost his helmet, his hair was scattered, very embarrassed, seeing Huang Zhong killed, he reined in his horse and left, and saw that the main general fled, and turned back one after another, and the formation of the Bajun soldiers collapsed instantly, one by one lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, and fled in the wilderness.
The Jingzhou army has long been red-eyed, relentless pursuit, covering up all the way, beheading more than 5,000 levels, capturing more than 10,000 people, even Zhang Ren's deputy general Lei Tong was captured alive, chased all the way to Pingdu County, Huang Zhongcai restrained the team, on the way back to the division, Huang Zhongshun took the sheep, and captured the three counties of Chongguo, Xuanhan and Hanchang in Ba County.
Huang Zhong collected the army and returned to the camp, immediately interrogated Lei Tong, asked if the news of Liu Xin's attack was accurate, Lei Tong let how he tortured, insisted that Liu Xin had died in Ke, Huang Zhong did not dare to be careless, while arranging the three armies to strengthen the guard, on the other hand, he ordered someone to escort Lei Tong to Xiangyang to hand over and confuse him,
Just when Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren were fighting, a group of barbarians came to Xiangyang City, and as soon as these people entered the city, they went straight to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, saying that they asked to see Mrs., Ma Yun was concerned about Liu Xin's safety, and seeing that they were barbarians, they might be able to know Liu Xin's movements, so he ordered the guards to bring them in.
After a while, I saw four barbarian men walking in with a big tie of flowers, holding him down and kneeling in front of Ma Yun.
Ma Yun asked strangely: "Who are you, where are you from, and what is the matter with this person." ”
The barbarian man at the head obviously knew Chinese, he took a step forward, pointed to the person kneeling on the ground and said: "Mrs. Qiqi, we are all people who brought the Dongzhu family from Qike County, he is our young patriarch Zhu Ying, we are ordered by the patriarch to escort him here, hand him over to his wife, and wait for the state pastor to return, and then let the adults dispose of it." ”
Ma Yun knew that the destination of Liu Xin's trip was the cave brought by Qike County, and couldn't help asking: "Since you are from Qike County, do you know where my family is now." ”
Zhu Ying was already shouting somewhere: "Madam, just ask them to let me go, anyway, we are also relatives." ”
Ma Yun was inexplicable and asked, "What kind of relative am I with you?" ”
Zhu Ying grinned: "My sister-in-law is about to marry an adult, and the adult is my brother-in-law, and our two families are naturally relatives." ”
Ma Yun's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "Put this humil in prison first, and wait for Liu Xin to come back before he is released." "In Jingzhou, except for Ma Yun, who dares to call Liu Xin by name in public, I really can't find a second one.
It turned out that Zhu Ding was prevented by Liu Xin, and temporarily let Zhu Ying go, when he learned that Liu Xin turned out to be the pastor of Jingzhou, he used his brain again, thought about it, or decided to hand over his son to Liu Xin to deal with personally, Zhu Ding was also worried that Zhu Xin might not agree to take Zhu Ying back at that time, so he took advantage of Liu Xin's few days of staying in Keke, and took the first step to escort Zhu Ying to Xiangyang, Ma Yun knew that Liu Xin was safe and sound, and a heart finally let go,
Early the next morning, Fu Zhu suddenly stumbled into the governor's mansion and choked up: "Madam, something is wrong. ”
In the past few days when Liu Xin was away, Ma Yun took on almost all internal and external affairs, she was witty and resolute, not at all like an ordinary weak woman, she would take the initiative to report to her if she had any major or minor affairs, but she had never been so tearful as today, Ma Yun's heart couldn't help sinking, and she said calmly: "Mr. Fu, you say slowly, what happened." ”
Frustrated Zhu has long been unable to cry: "Lord, Lord, he was killed......"
Ma Yun only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she could barely stand,
Frustrated and hurriedly said, "Madam, you have to mourn, here's how it ......"
After listening to his narration, Ma Yun calmed down and said: "This is Liu Yan's trick, several carriages are for us to sit on, Liu Xin never sits, why do you even bring people to the car to press powder, this matter must be kept secret, not leaked out, what we have to do now is to stabilize people's hearts, and wait for him to come back." ”
After listening to Ma Yun's analysis, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and couldn't help but blush his old face, and said: "Yes, I really haven't seen the lord in the car, thanks to the lady's reminder, Fu almost fell for the enemy's annihilation." ”
Ma Yun's face did not improve much, she muttered: "It seems that Liu Yan already knows Liu Xin's whereabouts, and we must not be on guard, and immediately ordered, ordering Zhang Fei to lead his troops into Qike and go to respond, Xu Huang led part of the department to Nanyang and Nanxiang two counties, but there are imperial envoys who are all seized on the spot." ”
Frustrated and wise, he understood what Ma Yun meant as soon as he heard it, no matter whether Liu Xin was dead or alive, as long as the news of his death reached the imperial court, it would inevitably fall into the eyes of people with a heart, and when the time came, he would re-send someone to serve as the pastor of Jingzhou, and the situation would be difficult to manage.
Although Ma Yun said this to Frustration, in fact, she was very anxious in her heart, she knew that in this era, although the information was not smooth, the rumors were still spreading very quickly, as long as Liu Xin did not show up, this kind of rumor would have its market, in order to appease people's hearts, Ma Yun had to bring personal guards to patrol the streets as usual, go to the academy to teach the children as usual, and listen to the officials report on all aspects of the situation as usual, and her face could not show the slightest worry,
Although Ma Yun made great efforts and tried his best to blockade it, the news of Liu Xin's attack and death in the territory of Qike still spread, first in a small area, and gradually expanded more and more, almost all the officials and scholars in Xiangyang City heard the news, and there were many people who deliberately spread it, and many people quietly went to the door of the state pastor to listen to the news, and slowly, the news spread into the state pastor's house.
Hearing this sudden news, Liu Xin's women were shocked, and at this time, Ma Yun, who was their backbone, was not in the house, and the women were all very affectionate animals, Cai Yan and Zhu Qian couldn't help crying secretly, and gradually, the entire state pastoral mansion was shrouded in a cloud of sorrow.
Liu Xin's trip to participate in the Three Surnames Alliance was originally very secret, and now it has been known all over the city, in the eyes of these scholars and officials, those barbarians are tantamount to flood beasts, Liu Xin went to the place where they lived, it was simply a suicide, and now the women in the state pastoral mansion cried again, which further verified the accurate surname of the news,
Now, the wealthy Jingzhou is like a huge cake, there will always be people ready to move in front of interests, some officials and scholars have begun to focus on the door of the state governor's mansion, noisy and shouting, and even some people say "Jingzhou can not be said to be ownerless, should be planned early" and so on,
There was a cry in the house, someone outside the door forced the palace to come to the door, Ma Yun was not at home, at a critical moment, Bian Yu stepped forward and said: "Sisters, we can't listen to the rumors, I believe that the master will be fine, everyone must be strong, take care of the family, and I will deal with these people outside." ”
