Chapter 1198: Capturing Zu Kuan alive

readx; Zu Kuan suddenly heard that the evil wind behind his head was not good, and he knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly turned around and raised his gun to parry. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info only heard a loud bang, and the two big iron guns slammed together, followed by the sound of weapons colliding, and the sneak attacker launched a stormy attack on Zu Kuan, which made Zu Kuan scramble for a while.

It was only at this time that Zu Kuan understood that behind this small mound, there was a small group of cavalry in ambush, and he only cared about chasing the fleeing "bandits", and he didn't expect that someone would set up an ambush here, so he set up a road.

When he saw the appearance of the person he was fighting with, he was even more shocked. It turned out that this person was not an outsider, it was Cao Wenzhao, the official leading military general of Guanning Iron Cavalry! The two of them can be regarded as old acquaintances, not only are they from the same Li family, but it was Zu Kuan who squeezed Cao Wenzhao away back then, so that he could get half of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. If you talk about working hard immediately, Zu Kuan is a cut worse than Cao Wenzhao, and now he is being attacked again, so he was pressed by Cao Wenzhao as soon as he came up, and he couldn't fight back at all.

Now Zu Kuan didn't have time to think about how Cao Wenzhao came here and how he targeted him, he just thought about getting rid of his iron spear, and then relying on the advantage of his large number of troops to turn defeat into victory. So he immediately shouted with all his might: "Give it all to this soldier!" ”

But even if he shouted out his throat, none of the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry behind him stepped forward. The reason is also very simple, they all recognized the ambusher as their original commander Cao Wenzhao. Cao Wenzhao was the general personally designated by Li Chongyao, the head of the family, second only to Li Chongyao in martial arts, and he was old and respected in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, although he didn't take them now, who would dare to rashly do anything to him?

At the same time, the group of "bandits" who had fled just now also rode back, and everyone immediately recognized that the leader was Cao Wenzhao's nephew and Cao Bianjiao, another general of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the rest were all brothers who had fought side by side, so they didn't dare to step forward.

Cao Bianjiao saw that Cao Wenzhao had completely suppressed Zu Kuan, so he was not busy helping the battle, but shouted at the fifty Guanning iron horsemen: "Are you crazy? Why did you rebel with Zu Kuan? ”

Everyone was stunned, and one of the hundred households hurriedly said: "General Cao, we... We didn't rebel! We are by order..."

"Fart! Whose will are you doing? Cao Bianjiao pointed at the man's nose and scolded, "Today's saint is unharmed, it is Zhu Changxun and Hong Chengchou who colluded to rebel, and now the saint has taken the royal conquest, and the holy car is in Zhangde Mansion not far from here!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Zu Kuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and roared hoarsely while trying to parry: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Zhu Youzhen is dead, we are ordered to go north, they are the rebels..."

But Zu Kuan didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, it aroused Cao Wenzhao's greater anger. His martial arts path was originally to take the fierce route, but now he simply no longer uses any fancy tricks, and directly uses the gun as a stick, smashing it at Zu Kuan, scolding while smashing: "The name of the saint, how can you, a despicable and shameless thief, be called?" I call you nonsense, I call you nonsense, I call you nonsense!! ”

Zu Kuan endured Cao Wenzhao's heavy blows at once, each blow was like a sledgehammer directly smashed into his body, his arms were in great pain, and finally his strength was exhausted, and the iron spear in his hand was smashed off at once, and the iron spear with the thickness of his wrist smashed into his right shoulder. Despite his heavy armor, the thunderous blow shattered his collarbone instantly. Zu Kuan screamed and fell off the horse, and Cao Wenzhao broke off and said, "Tie!" ”

Several Guan Ning iron horsemen immediately jumped off their horses, punched and kicked Zu Kuan, and then tied him up firmly. The people brought by Zu Kuan were dumbfounded, they didn't leave, let alone fight, and they were extremely embarrassed for a while.

At this time, Cao's uncle and nephew once again emphasized to them: The so-called "Emperor Chongzhen is dead" is completely a rumor spread by traitors, and if they are still obsessed and help the abuse, they will be removed from the Li family forever, and they will be killed now. If it is indeed deceived, then it is not too late to know that it is lost and returned, just gather the rest of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and from now on, re-enter the account of Cao Wenzhao, and then you can not blame the past.

The soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry were originally very dissatisfied with Zu Kuan's "airborne", but the imperial court's order had to be obeyed, and they followed Zu Kuan to the east and west for nearly two years. In the past two years, Zu Kuan has not let them do such a lack of virtue as "raising food", although everyone carried out one by one, but when they woke up in the middle of the night, they always felt ashamed of their conscience, especially when they first formed the army, in front of the head of the family Li Chongyao's oath of "protecting the country and defending the people".

Now being scolded by Cao's uncle and nephew, the soldiers suddenly woke up, first one by one else silently stood behind Cao Wenzhao, and then more and more people joined one after another, and until the last one was left, all of them returned to Cao Wenzhao's command. Zu Kuan saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to close his eyes tightly and not say a word.

The next thing was simple, Cao Wenzhao successfully received all the hundreds of Guanning iron cavalry left in the town, and all the silver taels that had been robbed from the people just now were also returned to Zhao. Due to the holy order, Cao Wenzhao did not dare to stay here for a long time, and only sent twenty cavalry to escort Zu Kuan back to Zhangde Mansion, while the brigade continued to gallop to the southeast.

An hour later, when Zu Kuan was sent back to Zhangde Mansion, Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard the news. Zu Kuan's five hundred Guan Ning iron horses have always been a piece of his heart. This is not only because the Guanning Iron Cavalry is strong in combat, but if it becomes a rebel, it will be very tricky to deal with; What's more, because this team was brought out by his Chongyao, even if he could easily annihilate Zu Kuanbu, how should he explain to Chongyao in the dark?

And now this ending can be called perfect, Zu Kuan was captured, and Guan Ning's iron cavalry returned to Cao Wenzhao, and there was no longer any need to worry about the problem of cannibalism. Zhu Youzhen secretly swore in his heart that he must carry forward the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the scale of 1,000 people is still too small, and it will be expanded to at least 10,000 people in the future, so that they can gallop on the land of Liaodong and the Mongolian steppe, and beat the Tartars and the Mongols fiercely, so as to comfort Chongyao's spirit in the sky!

Of course, these are all later words, and the top priority is to interrogate Zu Kuan and get the movements of the rebels from him. The stakes are very high, and Zhu Youzhen and Lu Xiangsheng presided over the trial together. However, Zu Kuan knew that his sin was unforgivable, and he couldn't escape death if he didn't say it, so he simply played the meat head formation, no matter how Lu Xiangsheng drank and asked, he didn't spit out a word. provoked Lu Xiangsheng to be furious and said: "Holy Lord, since this thief refuses to recruit, it is better to immediately cut off the sacrificial flag!" ”

But Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time, but shook his head and said, "It's better not to kill it!" ”
