Chapter 20: The Death of Zhang Miao
Blood splashed and dripped on the white snow, making it look so dazzling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Du Yuancai didn't care what Zhang Miao shouted before he died, he only knew that the purpose of his coming this time was to take Zhang Miao's head. Lifting Zhang Miao's head that had fallen on the snow, Du Yuan glanced at the dozen or so remaining sergeants who were struggling to support them in the corridor, and waved his hand: "Kill all of them if you don't leave them all!" ”
The screams suddenly became loud and extinguished, and these apologists, who were particularly hostile to the officers and soldiers, did not let go of the seriously injured sergeants who fell to the ground and wailed, and in the desperate begging for mercy of those sergeants, they coldly stabbed them in the vital places.
"According to the original plan, take advantage of the fire to retreat from the West Gate!!" Du Yuan carried Zhang Miao's unsightly head, led hundreds of guardians from the front gate of the county guard's mansion, and if he encountered the people who came out to see the truth along the way, he also ruthlessly cut it off, and finally cut down the suspension bridge and opened the city gate to the west under the negligence of the guards at the west gate.
Although Du Yuan had evacuated, the fire he ordered to light was getting stronger and stronger. At this time, although it was a snowy night, because of the ignition of the things in those carts, the fire began to ignite several streets around the county guard's mansion, and the people who woke up from their sleep called loudly, and the chaotic people shouted, but instead covered up the shouts and killings in the county guard's mansion, and the sergeants stationed in the nearby barracks found that there was a fire in the city and immediately rushed to the rescue. But when he wanted to rush to the county guard to see if there was an accident there, he found that the people who had fled from their homes in disarray had blocked their way to the county guard's house. The fire became bigger and bigger, but these soldiers could not kill the people and force the passage, so they could only help the people fight the fire while sending people to take a detour to the county guard's mansion.
However, when those people made a long detour to the county guard's mansion, they found that the mansion was full of dead bodies, most of them were county guards, but some of them were attackers with yellow towels tied to their arms. And Zhang Miao, the owner of the county guard's mansion, was found by them holding a sword and fell in the courtyard. He was only cloaked in a single coat, apparently in a hurry to get up and fight back against the attacker. But his headless corpse proved that the attackers had won the battle.
"Someone! Go and give me an order, and gather all the soldiers in the city to search the whole city. Let the four gates be guarded and the city gates closed, and not even a single mouse will be allowed to go without my order!! "Chen Liucheng garrison captain Fan Xiang is a good friend of Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao was appointed as Chen Liujun punctuary, specially recruited him from his hometown in Xuzhou. Now that his friend Zhang Miao has been killed in the city, as Fan Xiang, who is in charge of security in the city, he is ashamed at the moment. If it weren't for the thought of revenge filling his mind, he would have planned to kill himself with a sword.
Just as the soldiers were about to convey the military order of Fan Xiang, a bloodstained cavalryman staggered off his horse: "Captain Fan! Hundreds of thieves armed with swords launched an attack on the Ximen city defense from the city, and the Ximen garrison Wang Cheng led the crowd to resist, but was killed by the thieves under the city gate. Now the thieves have rushed out of the city and fled westward! ”
Fan Xiang suddenly felt a wave of dizziness when he heard this, and in the exclamation of everyone, he fell on the headless corpse of his old friend Zhang Miao!
"Meng Zhuo, I owe you a lot.......
When Chen Liucheng caught fire, Dian Wei, who also lived in Wu Yi's small courtyard, woke up as soon as possible. Touching the double halberd beside him, he walked quickly to the door of Wu Yi's room and woke up Wu Yi.
"What's going on?" Wu Yi hurriedly put on a robe, and was shouted by Dian Wei as soon as he fell asleep, and he was still a little confused at the moment.
"It seems that there is a fire in the castle, and looking at the source of the fire, it seems that it has burned from the county guard's office." Dian Wei didn't know the specific situation, but he could see the direction of the fire.
Xu Shu, who lived in the next hut, also walked out with his clothes on, and was shocked when he heard Dian Wei's words: "It's snowing heavily tonight, if it was an unintentional mistake, it would never have burned into such a fire." There were hundreds of sergeants stationed around the county guard's house, and the fire had not been brought under control so far, and it could only be said that someone had deliberately set the fire and delayed the sergeants from putting out the fire. My lord, I'm worried that someone is doing something bad for the county guard. ”
Wu Yi was stunned, remembering the seriousness of this matter, and hurriedly patted Dian Wei's arm: "Dian Wei, you immediately take some people to the county guard mansion to inquire about the situation." ”
Xu Shu added: "Now that the situation is unknown, Dian Wei, you should stay in the house and don't go, and let those who go to inquire about the news remember that no matter what happens, come back and report it as soon as possible, and don't make trouble on your own." ”
Dian Wei bowed his hand and strode away.
After a short time, Dian Wei returned to the small courtyard, followed by an old servant of the Wu Mansion.
"Young master, the master asked you to go to the study to discuss things."
Wu Yi went back to the house and dressed neatly, and asked Xu Shu and Dian Wei to follow him to the study.
In the study, Wu Ke was sitting on the main seat with a sad face, and only a few servants were lighting the stove for the study. Seeing that Wu Yi was coming with Xu Shu and Dian Wei, Wu Ke asked all the servants to retreat, and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
"I just got the news that Lord Zhang Miao, the county guard, was attacked and killed tonight."
Jing, not to mention that Wu Yi and Xu Shu were stupid, even Dian Wei, a rough man, stared at the copper bell with big eyes.
That's Chen Liujun Shou! Although Chenliu County has been affected by the disaster in the past period, it is undeniable that Chenliu County, located in the Central Plains, is still a rare place in the Han Dynasty. And the county keeper who was in charge of such a land was actually killed on this snowy night near the end of the year? This is simply appalling!!
Perhaps as Wu Yi is concerned, he knows that in the coming troubled times, whether it is the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors or the high-ranking Eastern Han Emperor, they are all living a miserable life. But now it has not yet reached the troubled times of the group of males competing for deer, Liu Hong is still enjoying the wine pond meat forest, Dong Zhuo is still fighting with the Qiang people in Liangzhou to survive, and Zhang Jiao is still plotting to rebel. Why did Zhang Miao, one of the eighteen princes who crusade against Dong Zhuo in the future, die today?
Wu Ke knew that his news shocked everyone, but the news he got was more than that, after everyone's mood stabilized a little, Wu Ke said with a solemn expression: "In addition, the people sent to inquire about the news got in touch with our secret sons in the city defense army, according to the news from those people, the group of thieves who attacked the county guard mansion had excellent weapons in their hands and yellow scarves tied to their arms, and only a dozen corpses were left after killing nearly a hundred elite soldiers in the county guard mansion. And after cutting off the head of Lord Zhang Miao, he turned a blind eye to the county guard mansion and treasury in front of him, and he didn't even take some money and utensils in the room. Can't you guess the identity of such disciplined and powerful thieves? ”
"The Yellow Turban Lux of Taiping Road?" Wu Yi exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and the expression on his face was very strange.
