Chapter 17 Heroes can't hide their true colors
said that Du Qianhu, who was in trouble, was thrown from the city by Liang Qianhu with one hand, and fell to the ground on the spot. So the other soldiers put down their weapons, and Zheng Tianbai called the soldiers to open the city gate, so the Imperial Forest Army immediately escorted Emperor Cheng into Cangzhou City. As soon as the gate was closed, the vanguard of the rebels had arrived, and Zheng Tianbai immediately called the commander to order the four gates to be closed, and the rest of the soldiers would ascend the city and defend it. Ma Hongyuan also assigned the Imperial Forest Army to be stationed at the four gates.
Emperor Cheng entered the city and escaped with his life, and he couldn't help but be grateful at the moment, so he called Liang Jin to question, and Liang Jin immediately reported that Xiao Liang, the commander of the garrison horse army in Cangzhou Mansion, rebelled, and the 30,000 army was in chaos, and he had already cooperated with Heifeng Mountain. At that moment, Emperor Cheng was furious, but there were no rebels in the city, so he could not be severely punished. So Emperor Cheng asked Na Liang Jin to temporarily take the post of governor of Cangzhou Prefecture, responsible for the garrison of the city, and Zheng Tianbai was responsible for managing the people in the city and solving the problem of grain and grass. Han Baiwen has also changed deacons now, and there are really a lot of officials who were killed last night, so he had to temporarily fill the position of garrison commander and general judge, assist Liang Jin in garrisoning the city, and also be responsible for the security of the city, of course, the Imperial Forest Army still has to help him. For a time, the grass and trees in Cangzhou City were all soldiers. At this time, the horse team under the city began to call for battle, and Ma Hongyuan asked Ying to kill the enemy, but Emperor Cheng did not allow it. So Wang Fu gave them an arrow at the head of the city, and shot the enemy general who was scolding the battle, and the enemy soldiers retreated.
It is said that at this time, Gongsun Liang's carriage left Cangzhou City for more than 30 miles, and he looked at the flags all over there, thinking that the enemy was besieging the city. So he thought for a long time in the car and said: Caiyun, now that Cangzhou is suddenly surrounded, there must be a lack of grain, rice and manpower, looking at this posture, the enemy has about 70,000 at least. Fang Caiyun said in the car: What is the husband's plan? Gongsun Liang said: Go sixty miles here, it is Yancheng, although it is a small city, but as the Central Plains to send grain and rice to Youzhou, not to mention you can also lend seven or eight thousand people and horses, plus there must be enough grain and rice there, if you can send military horses and grain and rice into the city, you can probably let Cangzhou City hold on for a while! Caiyun Dao: We are all ordinary people, how can we borrow people? Gongsun Liang said: I'm also worried about this matter.
As he spoke, he heard the drums and horns sounding in the distance from Cangzhou City, thinking that the rebels were attacking the city. Gongsun Liang said: No matter! Anyway, it's not far away, and the guards of Yancheng have to listen to me no matter what! As he spoke, he drove the carriage vigorously, no matter how the carriage shook, Gongsun Shuo slept in his mother's arms, Fang Caiyun said: It seems that my family Shuo'er is destined to fight horses for a lifetime, alas!
The carriage drove all day, and in the evening, because Gongsun Liang was in a hurry, he rushed to Yancheng. At this moment, Yancheng has already detected the rebels, intending to attack Cangzhou, and is discussing in the big tent at the moment. As soon as Gongsun Liang's carriage arrived at the city, it was seized by the guards because they found Gongsun Liang with a weapon in his hand. However, Gongsun Liang had identity documents, so those soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they reported the matter to the commander of the city. The man looked at it and smiled: But after the famous general! So he went down to the city to see him, but Gongsun Liang said anxiously: Cangzhou is now under attack and urgently needs assistance! The general said: Without the instructions of the superiors, no one has the right to mobilize troops and horses, although we also know the movements of the rebels, but the Pingdong Royal Mansion has not yet replied, so we can't send troops without authorization!
Fang Caiyun said in the car: Even if the saint is surrounded, you will not help? That will be shocked: Mrs. Sister-in-law is joking! Gongsun Liang signaled not to make a noise, but Fang Caiyun said: Now there are only 8,000 Imperial Forest Army guards around the saint, and the rebels are more than 70,000, and your Yancheng is only a hundred miles away from Cangzhou City, if you don't save it, wouldn't you be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason? That will sweat and say: Is it really the Holy One who is surrounded? Nearby Xiaobing said: General Qiyu, yesterday there was a sentry horse that reported that the Royal Forest Army had appeared near Cangzhou...... That will be the first to hear: Why not report it early? The soldier said: We all thought that the adults knew, so we didn't report it! Na Jiang shook his head and said: If the situation is true, not saving it is a great crime to destroy the nine clans! If not, the unauthorized mobilization of the army will not escape death. But if you make a war achievement, you may be able to make up for it, eh...... I'll make a decision after I've consulted with the generals! So a few soldiers arranged for them to stay in the inn. Gongsun Liang was so anxious that he couldn't even eat. Seeing her husband like this, Fang Caiyun had no choice but to cry silently.
Less than half an hour later, I heard a crowd of people in the street. Gongsun Liang clapped his hands and said: Great! Uncle and two brothers are saved! As he spoke, he pushed open the door, and just as the general came over and said, "Brother Gongsun, we have discussed, and we are still saved!" We can't watch those grass robbers attack the city and ignore it, otherwise we, who practice martial arts, how dare we dare to eat the court? Now I have transferred the deputy general to lead 10,000 horses, with 300,000 stones, grain and grass, and I will definitely send them to the city, brother, please rest assured! Gongsun Liang said: Okay! That's good...... So the general was gone. Gongsun Liang looked at those people for a while, and then closed the door. Then he came to the table and sat down, just picked up the bowl, but saw the colorful clouds on the side with tears. So Gongsun Liang immediately walked over and said: What's the matter?
Fang Caiyun said: I know that you are a tiger general, and sooner or later you will still go into battle to kill the enemy...... But people ...... Gongsun Liang said: Don't worry, I won't leave yours, let's eat, and set off to Nanyang tomorrow morning to find your father-in-law and mother-in-law, okay? Fang Caiyun looked at his concerned look and bowed his head and said: Just because of me, you have to bury your talent, and you are really ...... for your wife Gongsun Liang said: I have no intention of traveling in the army, what do you do? Fang Caiyun said: Originally, people wanted to have a comfortable life with you, and then they supported you to do what you liked, but since you got married for more than a year, you have always been so considerate to others, so I ...... Gongsun Liang said: You think too much, I have my own plans, even if it's not for the two of us, I have to think about Shuo'er, right? Hurry up and eat! So he coaxed his beloved wife to eat together, and then blew the lamp and went to sleep.
Just lying down, knocking on the door, Gongsun Liang jumped up and walked over and said: Who? Ask the foreign way: Gongsun Gongzi, the general, please! Gongsun Liang said: I know! So he put on his clothes, Fang Caiyun was obviously awake but pretended not to know, and when his husband went out, he sat there and watched the child sleep.
Gongsun Liang hurried to the head of the city, and the general guarding the city sat there, pointing to the city and saying: Brother Gongsun, that thief is so rampant, he actually dares to wave his army to attack the fortress of the important town! Gongsun Liang said: Have the reinforcements already set off? The general said: Now that the enemy is now, how can he be transported out? I'm afraid that if you don't repel these fanatics, you won't be able to rescue them! Gongsun Liang said: Probably the enemy also thought that Yancheng would send troops, so he came to cut off the passage! The general said: Unfortunately, the enemy is fierce, you see, the man in the black armor and the horned beast helmet on his head is the enemy's vanguard. The general was afraid that the enemy army would attack the city, so he sent two generals to fight, both of them were invincible, one dead and one wounded, seriously hurt morale, this general was responsible for defending the city, and could not easily go down to the city, and now in this salt city, it can be compared with it, only the son of General Zuolong Wuwei! Gongsun Liang was stunned and said: My father is no longer a general, and he is not an official of the imperial court anymore, how can he go down to the city? That general said: Since Brother Gongsun wants me to help Cangzhou, then in addition to the current threat, otherwise the military rations will not be delivered, Cangzhou will not be guaranteed, and the general will not be able to help!
When Gongsun Liang heard this, he stretched out his head and looked down again. In the night, it will look like a ghost in the firelight. He looked up at the city, and saw a man watching, so he took his bow and shot it. Arrows hit in the dark night, and it must be difficult to prevent, but Gongsun Liang is used to archery, and he has it at his fingertips. So Gongsun Liangyi stretched out his hand and said: Bow come! One of the soldiers handed over his bow. Gongsun Liang pulled the bow with his hand and tried his strength, then took the arrow and looked at it from afar. The enemy general heard the sound of arrows flying, and there seemed to be wind in his face, and when he looked down in shock, the arrow hit the tassel of his helmet. He drew an arrow in his hand, and when he looked closely, it was his own, so he was shocked and changed color, and hurriedly led his troops to retreat. So Gongsun Liang returned the bow and said: Now you can go!
That will get up and say: It is worthy of being a tiger of the gate, and it is worthy of its name! Okay, let the lieutenant go right away. But...... I'm afraid there will be a loss on the road, so brother, you see...... Gongsun Liang arched his hand and said: I will naturally follow a trip to Cangzhou, but I still hope that adults will see it! That will say: Naturally, even if the city is lost, it will never lose the family of Brother Gongsun, please rest assured! So Gongsun Liang immediately went down to the city and returned to the room, but Fang Caiyun sat on the bed and said: You are going to Cangzhou! Gongsun Liang said: Knowing that I am Mo Ruo's wife, don't worry, I will just escort them back to Cangzhou, and it will not be delayed for a long time! Fang Caiyun said: You can wear this! Wear it inside! Gongsun Liang took it and saw that it was a purple middle coat. Fang Caiyun said: I dreamed that my husband was wearing a purple robe, and I believe that I will definitely bring good luck to my husband! Gongsun nodded, then touched his child, and reluctantly parted with Caiyun.
So Gongsun Liang rode a horse, picked up the guy wrapped in cloth, and followed the army out of the city. After looking at it from afar, he said: I hope that those heroes and heroes in the world can be like this person, and then the world will be peaceful! As he spoke, he shook his head and went down to the city.
Along the way, Gongsun Liang just followed the team and did not walk in front. The army had stretched out for more than thirty miles, and sure enough, the rebel general led his cavalry to attack from both sides. The army immediately divided into two teams, the front and the rear, and trapped the grain and rice in the core. The enemy was carrying torches, and the purpose was obvious. At this time, the bull-horned fierce general attacked from the middle of the front and rear armies, in a vain attempt to cut the battle line and decompose morale, but he was riding in front of Gongsun Liang's horse. Seeing that Gongsun Liang had no armor, he rushed over directly with a gun. The two rebel cavalry in front also slashed with big swords, Gongsun Liang waved the iron rod, one at a time, cleanly, and the two cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another. The enemy general saw that Gongsun Liang's martial arts were good, so he danced the spear, and then suddenly retracted a stab, and the guy in Gongsun Liang's hand blocked it and stabbed the gun. So the general shook slightly, stabbed hard, Gongsun Liang twisted his body and swung the gun body to sweep, and his arm clamped his gun, so the general had to bend down to hide, but Gongsun Liang's gun was pressed down, and it pressed straight on his back, and he was out of breath for a while.
When a nearby cavalryman saw it, he immediately slashed it with a knife, and Gongsun Liang had no choice but to let go of the general's return pestle, and the cavalryman flew off his horse. So the general got up and swept again, Gongsun Liang stood up and blocked the gun, and used his strength twice, Gongsun Liang lifted it vigorously, reached out and grabbed his gun, and then hit his horse with the gun in his right hand, and the horse fell to the ground at the moment. So the general fell, and the gun fell into the hands of Gongsun Liang. He didn't expect the enemy to be defeated, so he had to spread his legs and run, but Gongsun Liang couldn't catch up. So the enemy retreated, and the army simply packed up and continued to set off.
By noon, the army had traveled more than seventy miles, and the wolf smoke could be seen in the distance. Looking at the mountains and wilderness, there are flags all over the side, and the drums and horns on the other side of Cangzhou City are shaking the sky. Gongsun Liang was relieved, it seemed that the city had not yet been breached. So the deputy general ordered: Take a break and strive to rush to Cangzhou City in one go! So the centaurs took a break for a while. The deputy general had already heard of Gongsun Liang's name, and knew that he had easily repelled the enemy general in a battle last night, so he brought him a flatbread to eat, and gave him a pair of soft armor, but Gongsun Liang patted the package on his body and said: I have my own armor on my body, but I don't need it yet. The general was impressed, so he asked Gongsun Liang to go to the front of the army.
After walking for about two hours, the army finally arrived less than three miles south of Cangzhou City, and found that the first army was blocking the way in front of the camp. The soldiers in the city were all overjoyed when they saw the army coming from the direction of Yancheng. Liang Jin, Zheng Tianbai, Han Baiwen and several Praetorian Guard generals all went to the city to watch, and the one who blocked the way of reinforcements was Xiao Liang, the commander of the Ma Army. At this time, another group of rebels in the distance opened up, and there was a tendency to flank the attack, and all the generals couldn't help but worry.
The adjutant general asked Gongsun Liang in a low voice what to do, and Gongsun Liang said helplessly: The other party has few people, and it will be crushed with one blow, and when I break away from the enemy, you will enter the city immediately, otherwise once you are flanked, it will be terrible to lose food and rice! Just as he was about to say, Gongsun Liang had already stepped out, brandished the iron rod and rushed over. As soon as Xiao Liang saw that the other party was coming, he didn't have time to shoot arrows, so he retreated into the formation. The soldiers behind were covered, the archers took the arrows and shot them, Gongsun Liang blocked left and right, Pegasus came to the front, those soldiers raised their knives and cut them, Gongsun Liang waved slightly, and the wrapped cloth was cut, so he simply tore off the layer of cloth, revealing a three-pointed two-edged knife. At that moment, Gongsun Liang brandished a long knife, slashed left and right, and killed more than a dozen soldiers immediately, and the archers at the back door immediately retreated, and the adjutant general gave an order, and the horse team immediately supported the attack.
When the archers in the back saw that the front was broken, they turned over and ran. So Xiao Liang immediately commanded the pikemen to defend the first line, and the cavalry on both sides flanked him, hoping to stop the attack of the horse team. As a result, Gongsun Liang saw that the other party changed formation, and waved the long knife in front of him, and the nearby soldiers dodged, and then broke directly into Xiao Liang's Chinese army from the gap in the formation, and the long halberd of the Chinese army immediately came to stab, Gongsun Liang's three-pointed two-edged knife was also surprisingly long, so it was not a loss to wield it, he only turned his hand and stabbed two guards, and the knife hand next to him came to cut, he swung the knife and cut it in two, and then suddenly jumped over, danced the long knife and pointed at Xiao Liang and said: Yingchuan Gongsun Liang came to take your head! Saying that the horse moved forward, the cavalry on both sides came to block, and he was knocked off the horse with the blade of the knife twice, Xiao Liang was sure that he couldn't beat it, so he turned the horse and walked back, and Gongsun Liang chased out of the formation behind.
At this time, the rebels completely lost their backbone, and they all scattered and fled in all directions. The adjutant general immediately waved forward and the Chinese army to cover the past and seize the camp, leaving the rear army to continue to walk towards the south gate of the city. The city saw that the killing outside was turned upside down, so the drums and horns sounded in unison, and Wang Fu immediately led the Royal Forest Army 300 horsemen out of the city to support. The reinforcements of the rebels saw that the situation was unfavorable and immediately accelerated to run, caught Xiao Liang, and the leader immediately slashed with a big knife, Gongsun Liang slashed his arm with a knife, so the general fled with pain. Gongsun Liang continued to chase closely, Xiao Liang had no choice but to fall off his horse and fled in the army, so Gongsun Liang had no choice but to turn his horse back.
At this point, the rebels were not conducive to fighting again, so they had to collect men and horses and return to the camp. The Yancheng reinforcements won a big victory and calmly entered the city from the south gate. Knowing that there were 300,000 stone grains and rice with him, enough for Cangzhou to last more than half a year, Emperor Cheng was very happy and met with the lieutenant. So the general told about Gongsun Liang's courage and recommended it vigorously. But Emperor Cheng frowned and said: It's a pity that such a fierce general is unwilling to go out of the world, wouldn't it be a pity!
At this moment, Gongsun Liang ran over to see Liang Jin and Han Baiwen, and when he saw Liang Jin, he was surprised and said: In the battle just now, the person who beat Xiao Liang was looking for teeth all over the ground was actually you! Han Baiwen said: The eldest brother is out of the horse, naturally different, in my opinion, with the eldest brother coming forward, it won't take a few days for the rebels to be cleaned up! As a result, Gongsun Liang smiled and said: It's a pity that I promised your sister-in-law to send reinforcements and go back, now that you are fine, the eldest brother will rest assured! When you see Brother Nie again, tell him that now that his brother and his family have moved to Nanyang, it is really helpless to say goodbye, and our brothers will definitely meet in the future! With that, he turned around and went down to town. Emperor Cheng also knew that he couldn't keep him, so he had to let him leave alone. So the deputy general made a place with the Cangzhou soldiers and horses and guarded the city. Before leaving, Emperor Cheng wrote a decree, and Gongsun Liang took it to Yancheng to mobilize troops and horses to more state capitals to quell the rebellion.
Gongsun Liang stayed in Cangzhou for less than an hour before hurried out of the city. No rebels dared to stop him all the way, so he went to Yancheng, walked for about ten miles, and immediately stopped him with a horizontal knife. Gongsun Liang arched his hand and said: Who is coming? Friend or foe? The general smiled and said: Why, now that I have a wife, I don't know my childhood playmate? Gongsun Liang was stunned and said: Who are you? Why don't I recognize it? He smiled and said: My brother has been reckless all these years, and there is an extra scar on his face, and you don't know him anymore. However, back then, the words of righteous marriage and Jin Lan, living and dying together, especially in front of his ears, how could my brother forget?
Gongsun Liang was stunned and said: You are ...... You are Zhang Wanren!
Hahaha! Finally someone remembered me! It's been ten years, and I haven't used this surname, and my brother is now with a beautiful family, and he has saved his car, so he naturally gains fame and fortune. But eldest brother, since my family was defeated, I had to live a life of licking blood from the knife, and now it is easy to wait for the opportunity to avenge my father, but you! I haven't seen you for ten years, but brother, you appeared at this time! As he spoke, the knife in his hand trembled, and the iron ring clanged.
Could it be that these rebels are all ......
Not bad! It's all after the unjustly killed generals under my father's account! Of course, there were also other heroes who were killed who came to help. These brothers have been waiting for countless sad and sad days, just for today! And you, you ruined him with your own hands! I promised my brothers that even if you die and become a ghost, you will take revenge for this, so I think you should be enlightened! As he spoke, the edge of his knife was aimed at Gongsun Liang.
Gongsun Liang was surprised: Big brother! The little brother has never sabotaged your intention to take revenge, but now the emperor can't die! As soon as he dies, the world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer greatly from the flames of war!
! If he doesn't die, there will be many people suffering, and besides, so many people have died, will they all die in vain?
However, after you kill him, those dog officials in the court will change their banners one after another and provoke a war, have you taken this responsibility?
We still have the prince, and as long as we have the prince, we will be the heroes who will eliminate evil and punish adultery and help him ascend the throne, and the people will be grateful to us, won't they?
Do you really have the prince in your hands? Gongsun Liang was skeptical.
Of course, of course there is the crown prince, didn't the dog emperor just want to take him away this time? It's a pity that he underestimated our brothers, so he ended up deserved!
Good! Since you have the crown prince, why don't you ask the prince to come forward and recruit the soldiers and civilians of Cangzhou? In this way, Fang is justified, and the emperor is restrained, and he is free from war, the best of both worlds, why not the eldest brother?
You don't talk nonsense! You don't need to teach me this! No matter what today, I also want to give an explanation to my brothers! Saying that, he rushed over with his horse, slashed with a knife, and Gongsun Liang said with a long knife: Big brother! If you don't listen to good words, how can you make your brother understand that what you do is a good deed? Zhang Wanren said: Hmph! In the early years, there was speculation in the army, I don't know if the left dragon martial guard is powerful, or the right dragon martial guard is powerful, and now they are competing! Come on! Saying that, he slashed with his backhand.
When there was a sound, Gongsun Liang blocked the road with the barrel of the gun again: Big brother! Don't be embarrassed for your little brother!
Less nonsense, look at the knife! Saying that, he flew up and slashed at Gongsun Liang's neck like a thunderous sword!
