Chapter Twenty-Five: Murder and Authority

"Zheng."

A clear string sound passed, and the aftersound was abrupt, and Yaxuan was immediately silent, and a faint sigh came out after a long time: "The yellow turbans in Yingchuan and Nanyang have been destroyed one after another, and it is expected that Jizhou will not last long." Taiping Dao and Zhang Jiao Lao Dao are not enough, it is too disappointing......"

The dressed woman asked, "Miss, what should we do now?"

Yaxuan's coquettish voice said: "The fall of the Taiping Dao is imminent, there is no need to pass the news of the imperial court to them, what we have to do now is to hide and wait for the opportunity." ”

"Yes, miss."

The dressed woman stood up from the ground and withdrew from the house.

……

Who is sorrowful, and only thinks and sorrows.

Introspection is not sluggish, and it is stronger and stronger.

Hidden for three years without decision, the years are like a decline.

The rest of the body is not enough to be discouraged, and I hope to return at first sight.

The misfortune of mourning people is a salty pond entrusted by destiny.

……

After a while, there was a faint and gentle song in Yaxuan, like crying and complaining, like silk, and even the birds on the branches by the pond forgot to return......

……

Zhang.

In the open space at the entrance of the village, the eight hundred Liukou have been assembled, and the banner that Ma Yue ordered the people to make overnight has been in Guan Hai's hands, and it is hunting and hunting in the wind, and the plain white cloth curtain is embroidered with the four blood-red characters of "Eight Hundred Liukou", which is eye-catching.

Ma Yue walked over to a rogue, and his cold gaze fell on him, making him feel uncomfortable. The rogue was carrying a big bag in his arms, bulging, and he didn't know what was in it.

"What's in there?"

Ma Yue's tone was very cold, like a whistling wind, freezing people's bone marrow.

"Some clothes...... Clothes, I feel beautiful, I want to ...... I want to keep it for my daughter-in-law to wear in the future, wear ......"

Ma Yue's eyes sharpened, and Liukou was silent.

There are not a few such rogues, many of them are either hugging or carrying a lot of things, the most outrageous one guy actually carried a carved table of eight immortals, at this time the eight hundred rogues no longer look like an army, more like a group of refugees fleeing. If you take these guys on the road and don't need the official army to chase them, just being tired is enough to exhaust the eight hundred rogues.

Ma Yue's expression was like a knife, and he turned and walked to the front of the queue.

There was a hunting cold wind blowing from the open space at the entrance of the village, swinging Ma Yue's crazy black hair, Xiao Su's murderous intent leaked out of his dark eyes, like a sharp steel knife scraping through the hearts of eight hundred rogues, and everyone held their breath.

"Throw away all these useless things! Everyone is only allowed to hold weapons in their hands, and they are only allowed to carry food on their bodies, and if anyone dares to disobey orders, steel knives will wait! You are soldiers, not refugees! ”

"Thrown!"

Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao yelled in disgust, and the rogues threw Bao Yu and the useless guy to the ground one after another.

Ma Yue snorted, his eyes were full of murderous intent and with a move, the four fierce rogues had already escorted the two dejected rogues to the queue, and knelt down in the muddy snow.

Ma Yue's cold, sonorous voice rolled like a hard stone through the hearts of every rogue.

"Before entering the village yesterday, I made it clear that we must not harm the poor people, otherwise there will be no forgiveness! But last night, there were still people who did not listen to the order and sneaked into the village without permission, killing people and setting fires, * women! Lao Tzu's words count, if anyone violates the ban, the king of heaven Lao Tzu will also cut and behead! ”

"No, big boss, we know that we are wrong, spare us, we don't dare anymore!"

The two rogues thought that a reprimand would be enough, but they didn't expect Ma Yue to really kill them, so they panicked and begged for mercy, and the eight hundred rogues also showed unbearable expressions, and even Guan Hai couldn't help but come forward to plead and said: "Bo Qi, I think forget it, they already know that they are wrong." ”

Ma Yue's eyes sharpened, and he took out a steel knife and handed it to Guan Hai, shouting: "Guan Hai, you come to execute!" ”

Guan Hai was silent, he had never seen Ma Yue's expression so hideous, he took the steel knife ruthlessly, handed the flag to Pei Yuanshao beside him, and then turned to the two rogues and said: "Brother, close your eyes, it'll be fine for a while." ”

The two rogues glanced at Guan Hai in despair, gritted their teeth and closed their eyes.

A trace of hideousness swept over Guan Hai's dark face, his hand rose and fell, the sharp steel knife cut a cold arc in the air, the blood splashed, and the two heads had already rolled down the snow.

The eight hundred rogues all showed awe-inspiring expressions, Liu Yan couldn't bear to open her eyes, and Zou Yuniang, who was standing next to her, had different eyes, thinking that this murderer wanted by the imperial court seemed to be different from other thieves? It is impossible for even a well-disciplined officer or soldier to kill his subordinates for the sake of innocent people.

In order to survive, Ma Yue did not hesitate to train this group of farmers to become wild wolves, but he also knew that he must not let this group of wild wolves lose control, and he must establish absolute supreme authority among this group of evil wolves, otherwise, the 800 Liukou will eventually become a disaster and a catastrophe.

Taking a long breath of cold air, Ma Yuelang shouted: "Pei Yuanshao! ”

Pei Yuanshao took a step forward proudly and said sharply: "Here!" ”

……

Besides, Zhang Qiu, the housekeeper of Zhangzhuang, escaped to return to Yangyang County at a terrifying speed not inferior to a marathon, and reported to the county commander Chen Zhen that Zhangzhuang was attacked by thieves, and only one of the more than 100 people in Hezhuang survived.

The county commander Chen Zhen was shocked when he heard the news, and urgently summoned the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the small officials of various ministries to discuss the matter.

Many officials thought that the city gate should be closed and martial law should be imposed, and then sent people to quickly notify Lord Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang, and asked Lord Taishou to send troops to clear it. Only the thief Cao Peng Li Yan disagreed, thinking that there were only more than 100 rogues, and there was no need to be afraid of them, and there was no need to send troops to come at all, and only the 500 county soldiers in Fuyang County were enough to defeat it.

Li Yan, a native of Nanyang, was only 20 years old at the time, and was a thief in Fuyang County, Cao Peng, who belonged to a petty official in charge of arresting thieves.

Someone questioned: "Li Yan, how can you conclude that there are more than 100 Liukou?" ”

Li Yan laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Qiu and said, "Although Steward Zhang is obese, his fat body is only about 100 catties, how many people are enough to have a full meal?" I dare to assert that there are no more than 100 people. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the county commander Chen Zhen was even more convinced.

Li Yan flicked the sleeves of his robe and said casually: "My lord, Nanyang Huangyang has been broken by the joint forces of General Zhu and Lord Qin, and the ten of the Yellow Turban thieves have been destroyed, and only a few are scattered. This is just the remnants of the defeated army that have been defeated so far, and only 200 sergeants are needed under it, and when they can be broken down, the head of the thief will be sacrificed. ”

Chen Zhen was relieved, stretched out his hand and stroked the willow whiskers under his chin, and said happily: "This officer and your 300 sergeants will make food on the third watch and go out on the fifth watch." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Yan clenched his fists, a trace of pride flashed on his young and handsome face, and he became more and more high-spirited.

……

Wancheng, too guarded mansion.

Wen Ping rushed in and said to Qin Jie, who was restless, "Brother-in-law, there's news." ”

Qin Jie Huo Ran stood up, and the generals of Huang Zhong who were standing on the side also turned their faces together, their eyes showed excitement, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban who had disappeared like ghosts for a day and a night finally had any news?

Qin Jie asked anxiously, "Where is the remnant of the Yellow Turban today?" ”

Wen Ping took a breath and replied: "The fast horse ran 80 miles east, and finally found out the news that there were fleeing people hiding in the wild grass, and they saw a group of Yellow Turban thieves going to the southeast, and they thought it was Ma Yue's bandits. ”

Qin Jie's face changed, and he asked, "Where did you meet, and what time?" ”

Wen Ping said: "In the southwest stone mountain area of Biyang County, yesterday was not the time. ”

"Stone Mountain in Biyang County! Yesterday was not the time? Qin Jie said in shock, "In this way, wouldn't the thief have reached the Fuyang realm now?" ”

Zou Jing, who is familiar with the geography of Nanyang, was shocked when he heard this: "Fuyang is the hometown of the general, if it is attacked by the rogues, I am afraid that the general will be angry." ”

Qin Jie paused and said: "If this is enough, then the general's old father is still in Fuyang City, once ...... The consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Everyone was disgraced, and they didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if the general's old father met with an accident? I'm afraid everyone here will fall to the ground. After a while, Jiangxia Cai Mao came back to his senses and said disapprerovingly: "Ma Yueliu has more than 1,000 people, and there are 500 county soldiers stationed in Fuyang County. ”

Huang Zhong said in a condensed voice: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, my lord, send troops to pursue quickly!" ”

Qin Jie was shocked when he heard this, and said sharply: "The generals listen to the order." ”
