Chapter Thirty-Six

At noon, a big flag fluttered in the wind in the north of the county, with the big characters of "Eight Hundred Liukou" four dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. One of the rogues unloaded the horn from his back and put it in his mouth, puffing out his cheeks and blowing hard.

Suddenly, the heavy and long horn sound of the bull's horn had rushed into the sky.

The long sound of the horn woke the rogues from their sleep, and they rushed out of the courtyard of the rich family's deep mansion and rushed to the direction from which the horn came to assemble. Although they had traveled more than 100 miles from the night before yesterday to noon yesterday, and had a fierce battle with the officers and soldiers outside the county service yesterday afternoon, after all, they were all young and strong men, and after half a night of indulgence, their physical strength and spirit had almost recovered.

Guan Hai's 200 or so people also came to join after completing the task, although they were exhausted, they had no time to rest, and the 800 Liukou had to turn in immediately and go on a new journey.

After conquering Suixian yesterday afternoon, Ma Yue did not go all out to chase and kill the officials and gentry who fled from Suixian, and the news of the fall of Suixian must have reached Fuyang at this time, presumably Qin Jie and others already knew, what would they do after hearing the news? How will you respond? A hideous smile bloomed at the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, and at that time, it would be difficult for Nanyang soldiers not to be mobilized.

Let those poor Nanyang soldiers compete with the eight hundred Liukou, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'm afraid that I will press the gourd and take care of the scoop, and I can't take care of the tail, right?

The sound of the bull's horn stopped abruptly, and the chaotic rogue army was suddenly silent, and the needles could be heard, all of them straightened their waists, and stared straight ahead with their blazing eyes. Ma Yue nodded secretly in his heart, and it was not only the spirit displayed by these rogues that made him feel happy.

Ma Yue looked at it, and all the rogues looked solemn, except for the dry food bags on their shoulders and the weapons in their hands, all the rogues did not have any extra sundries on their bodies. It is clear that these former farmers are gradually breaking free from the deep-seated grip of the small-scale peasant mentality.

……

The Nanyang army was starving and ambushed outside the city all night, until the next day, when the officers and soldiers were about to freeze, there was still no movement in Fuyang City! Zou Jing could no longer hold his breath, and sent a horse to contact the officials and soldiers in the city, reporting that no abnormalities were found in the city, and the officials and soldiers searched the entire Fuyang City, but did not find any traces of the rogues.

Ji Ling Ling shuddered, Qin Jie was actually awakened by the harsh cold, and after coughing twice, he looked at Zou Jing, who was surrounded by frost flowers and asked, "Ziyu, is there any movement in Liukou?" ”

Zou Jing shook his head with a solemn expression and said, "My lord, there is still no movement." ”

Qin Jie's color changed and said: "Ziyu, could it be that our army's actions are not afraid of being detected by the rogues, and the rogues dare not launch a sneak attack and just run away?" ”

Zou Jing shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, the dense forest is already full of exploration horses, and there are many eyes and ears of our army's Qiao makeup hunters in the nearby mountains. ”

Qin Jie frowned and said, "That's weird. ”

Zou Jing groaned: "The lower officials also feel that things are unusual, but for a while, they really can't think of anything different. ”

The two of them were in shock, and two more horses galloped over, and shouted in a panic from a distance: "My lord, it's not good! Oh no! ”

Qin Jie's heart jumped, he was so shocked that he sat up, and said in a lost voice: "Why are you panicking? ”

The two horsemen rushed to the front, and one of the knights flipped off the horse and climbed close to Qin Jie's soft couch, and shouted with a crying voice: "Lord Qin, the small one is a tun chief under the command of the county lieutenant Zhang of Suixian County, and the eight hundred Liukou suddenly arrived yesterday afternoon, and the county officers and soldiers rushed to the battle, which was unfavorable, the county lieutenant Zhang was killed, and the county commander Kuai was captured, and Suixian has fallen. ”

"Huh!?"

Zou Jing was stunned.

Qin Jie was stunned for two seconds, his originally gloomy face suddenly became flushed, and he immediately opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, shouting, "Zhongjiye!" Hit Ma Yuesheng's plan to attack the west! Ziyu misunderstands me, Ziyu misunderstands me, Ziyu misunderstands me~~~"

Qin Jie shouted three times and fainted on the soft couch.

"Your Excellency!"

Zou Jing was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to probe, but fortunately, Qin Jie still had a snort, so he calmed down a little, got up and said to the herald beside him: "Order, the army will be set aside immediately, drive into Fuyang City, and then send a fast horse to inform Huang Zhong, Cai Mao, Wei and the three generals, and immediately lead the army into the city!" Just go! ”

The three fast horses were like wind and clouds, heading towards the north, west and south of Fuyang City, but Zou Jing sat on the snow with a dejected buttocks, and his eyes were dim. Although the little sister Zou Yuniang may not be a thief, she must have been used by the rogue, she was able to escape from the thief's den, which in itself is a flaw, she should have known it a long time ago, and she should have thought of it a long time ago!

Thinking of the sore spot, Zou Jing hated and stamped his feet, regretting that his intestines were blue.

Two hours later, Fuyang County Yahou Hall.

Qin Jie finally woke up quietly, in front of the soft couch, Zou Jing hung his head and was full of shame, Cai Mao, Huang Zhong, Wei and the generals were either indignant or sad, and they all had no ideas.

"Smack!"

Huang Zhong struck with both palms and said angrily: "My lord, please allow the last general to capture that little slut and stab him to death with a sword in front of the generals!" It is hateful and hateful to dare to collude with thieves to deceive the officials and the army, and mislead me in major matters! ”

Zou Jing looked miserable, and didn't dare to say anything to stop it, if Zou Yuniang really confirmed the charge of being a thief, not only would her own life be at risk, but she was afraid that the entire Nanyang Zou family would suffer! This is a great crime to wipe out the nine clans, little sister, little sister, I'm afraid that the Zou family will be destroyed in your hands.

Qin Jie waved his hand weakly, and said faintly: "The loss of Suixian is a mistake that the official does not notice, and this matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more." After the 800 Liukou raided and occupied Suixian, they would inevitably go south in the starry night and rush to Jiangxia, and now our army is already a hundred miles away from it, and they can't catch up, and the Jiangxia soldiers don't know where they are, and the situation is critical. ”

Zou Jing sighed and said, "My lord, Jing shouldn't have said much about today's matter, but he didn't vomit unpleasantly. ”

Qin Jie said coldly, "Say it." ”

Zou Jing said: "Ma Yue's wisdom is far better than ours, 800 rogues under his control, it is no longer possible to talk with the Yellow Turban thieves in the past, so chasing and suppressing is not a way, if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will be taken advantage of by the rogues, it is better to retreat and defend the city, and wait for the rogues to attack, it is the best policy." ”

Qin Jie glanced at Zou Jing coldly, and said in a dark voice: "Does Ziyu want this official to die quickly?" ”

Zou Jing changed color and said: "Why did your lord say this? ”

Qin Jie said in a gloomy voice: "Now the old lady He is still in the hands of the thieves, the general does not say that he should know the news, and the court will be furious at that time, how can Ziyu save me?" ”

Zou Jing was speechless.

Huang Zhong said solemnly: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead a standard military horse to follow the example of the Liukou and rush forward lightly, swear to save the old lady He, and help the lord to make a consequence and escape this catastrophe." ”

Cai Mao said coldly: "Does Hansheng remember the defeat of Laohegou? ”

Huang Zhong said: "This time and that time!" The defeat of the old river ditch is not a crime of war, but it is actually the last general to take the enemy lightly and violate the taboo of the soldiers. ”

Cai Mao said in a dark voice: "That's hard to say. ”

Huang Zhong said sharply: "My lord, the last general is willing to make a military order, vow to capture Ma Yue, and save Old Lady He." ”

Between Huang Zhong and Cai Mao's quarrel, Qin Jie already had a plan in his heart, took a long breath, and said in a low voice: "Ma Yue is cunning, only Hansheng is afraid that he is not an opponent all the way, and the generals will obey the order!" ”

General Huang Zhongzhu held his head high and clasped his hands into fists.

"With Huang Zhong as the main general, Cai Mao and Wei He as the deputy generals, lead the army of 3,000 lightly armed, go south in the starry night, and attack Suixian, once the whereabouts of the Liukou are detected, they will bite to death, and when the 800 Liukou are exhausted, they will be destroyed with a bang, and the generals should remember that they must not divide their troops on the road, so as not to give the 800 Liukou an opportunity to take advantage of."

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong, Wei and Lang agreed, while Cai Mao reluctantly arched his hand.

Qin Jie said: "This official has introduced 1,000 Chinese troops to sit in Fuyang, and the three generals have received good news. ”

Huang Zhongsen said: "The last general will definitely live up to the general's trust, and he will definitely behead Ma Yue and save Old Lady He." ”

Qin Jie waved his hand, and General Huang Zhongzhu turned around and roared away.
