(Thank you very much for your strong support!) Zhao Wuxian 2014, Fluctuating Waves, UFGW, Glorious Charter, thank you! )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhang Hai stretched out his hand into his arms and said, "This is a brief letter sent by the house slave when he parked in Linpu yesterday......"

However, instead of a letter, he pulled out a short meat cutting knife, the tip of which shone with the faint golden glow of the setting sun, and stabbed it into the side of Ma Han's neck.

Turned into an elbow and armpit, Zhang Hai's assassination was extremely sophisticated and powerful, and what was even worse was that at the same time, the four servants behind Zhang Hai rushed out together. The fierce and swift skills, the tacit understanding of joint efforts, no matter how you look at it, are all movements that have been practiced many times and have actual combat experience.

The assassination was perfect, not impromptu, but premeditated. If it weren't for Zhang Hai having a flaw at this time, and this flaw was keenly grasped by Ma Han, who was in danger, it would be hard to say what the result would be.

When the short knife in Zhang Hai's hand was about to cut into Ma Han's neck, he paused slightly—he had to pause, because his purpose was not to kill Ma Han, but to hold him hostage. I also think that I know that there are 500 people, and you only have 80 people, so if you don't come to capture the thief and capture the king, and coerce the people to surrender, you still want to fight hard?

In the past and present lives, how many times have he haunted in the shadow of swords and arrows, wandering on the line between life and death, forging Ma Han's personality that is more dangerous and calm. When Zhang Hai made a move, he was already alarmed, but he didn't have time to wave his arm to block, and between the lightning and fire, he only did one thing - free fall and fall backwards.

Zhang Hai's hesitation made him miss the only chance to hurt Ma Hao. When he found that the target was very likely to be out of the attack range, Zhang Haicai hurriedly stabbed forward. But it was already a step slower, and the tip of the knife swept a few inches away from Ma Han's chin, cutting a cold light that was colder than the river wind.

The horse fell to the ground, not only dodging Zhang Hai's knife stabbing, but also directly breaking the joint blow of the four servants.

The five Assassins combined to strike missed, and the horseman's counterattack came like a raging storm.

The horse fell to the ground, not in embarrassment, but in the beginning of a counterattack. As his back touched the deck, he twisted his feet and grabbed one of the Assassin's calves. With a twist of force, the assassin spun sideways and flew out; The iron arm struck at him, shattering the leg bones of the other assassin and stumbling with a wail. At this time, the remaining two assassins pounced on one left and one right, and they all leaned down and pressed Ma Hao's arms, wanting to create a chance for Zhang Hai to strike a second blow, but they didn't know how stupid this move was.

The horse was now sitting up, and a head hammer knocked the bridge of the assassin's nose down. Dripping with blood, his left arm broke free from the assassin's hands, grabbed the assassin's throat, and crushed the throat bone with a click.

An assassin on the right arm of the horse. It was the strong man who contacted the boat that day, and this man was the best of the men, and he was very experienced in his grappling movements, and he also used anti-arthrosis. Ordinary people, no matter how powerful they are. It is inevitable to be restrained by anti-joints. Unfortunately, he took the wrong person, or the wrong arm.

The Assassin felt like he wasn't clasping his arm. It was a cast iron pillar, which could not move at all, making his hands numb and painful. Then, he saw his opponent grinning at him, and a chill arose from the bottom of his heart. Before he could make a move, his opponent suddenly pointed at him like a knife, poofed, and stabbed him in the abdomen. Then, to his horror, he watched as his steaming, scroaful, greasy intestines were pulled out raw, wrapped around his neck for several turns, and his tongue spat out with a violent blow......

Disemboweling, dragging the intestines and strangling the neck, this bloody scene not only made Zhang Hai's second knife stabbed halfway to the point of shock, but also the white wolf cavalry guards who reacted and wanted to draw their knives to attack were also stunned on the spot.

It took a very short time for Ma Han to kill and injure three assassins, no more than three seconds, and it was divided among the three of them, which can be called an instant kill. In this extremely short period of time, Zhang Hai wanted to make a move twice, but missed the opportunity because he dodged his own people and fell. When Ma Hao killed the fourth assassin, Zhang Hai's henchman, it took the longest time, six seconds. This time Zhang Hai had a chance, but his courage was also broken. When the knife stabbed halfway, it suddenly turned, jumped onto the bow female wall, and wanted to escape.

Ma Han rushed forward with an arrow step, and at the moment when Zhang Hai's body took off, he clasped his ankle in the air. Zhang Hai's soul was scattered, and his head and feet were hung upside down on the outside of the women's wall.

"Want to take a shower? Then give you a ride! Ma Yan shouted violently, waved his arms, and swept Zhang Hai like a sandbag a few times, and let go of his hand - whew! The discus, uh, human pie flew out and slashed through the air in a hard parabola and smashed straight into the water, causing a huge splash.

The entire assassination was from beginning to end, but it was only ten breaths, and it was a complete failure.

At this time, Zhou Cang and the four soldiers who inspected Zhang's passenger ship were also killing - to be precise, only Zhou Cang was the only one who was killed.

Zhou Cang boarded the ship for a surprise inspection, which caught the more than 20 Zhang servants gathered in the cabin by surprise, and the long knives and axes in their hands didn't have time to hide, so they simply rushed out and killed Zhou Cang and the four soldiers one after another. The four shipwrecks rushed into battle, were killed and retreated, and finally dived into the water.

And Zhou Cang held a nine-foot long-handled broadsword, which ran like a wheel, and the force was so powerful that it killed all the servants who rushed to the bow deck. Then he pounced in front of the hatch, yelled and slashed, like a mad cow, and pressed ten times the enemy to the hatch, wanting to get out.

At this time, Ma Han's order has been urgently issued, all the servants of the Zhang family are captured, and if there is resistance, they will be killed.

Although there were many servants of the Zhang family, most of them were scattered in various ships, and except for the more than 20 people, the rest were unarmed, and they were captured in front of the heavily armed white wolf horsemen.

Soon, Zhao Yun also approached the building boat, jumped off the Zhang passenger ship with a spear in his hand, and attacked from the stern. Zhou Cang was just stopping the enemy from rushing out, while Zhao Yun was directly killing in.

The soldiers outside the cabin heard only screams one after another, and from time to time someone smashed the panes and fell into the rapids...... About ten breaths later, a person rushed out of the hatch, and Zhou Cang slashed sharply, and the tiger was in the wind. But the man who came only held the spear in one hand and gently drew it, and then unloaded the heavy knife aside.

Click! The tip of the knife fell to the ground and chopped the ship's plank. Zhao Yun's calm voice without a little panting came from his ears: "Let the soldiers clean up, there is nothing to do here." ”

An assassination and rebellion, only a moment before and after, was completely disintegrated. Ma Han's side. Except for two boatmen and three soldiers, who were slightly wounded, none of them were damaged.

……

"Ahh......h I can't imagine that I, Zhang Min, have been in such a humiliating way for half my life, and in the end I was arrested in such a humiliating way, if I was known by my former colleagues, I am afraid that I will laugh with shame. When Zhang Hai, who was like a chicken in soup, was escorted into the finch room for trial, his face was gray, his lips were purple, he was covered in chaff, and he kept sneezing, but his first sentence shocked everyone.

Ma sat behind the desk. Eyebrows shrugged: "Your name is not Zhang Hai?" What is it called...... Zhang Kai? When he figured out that it was the "Min", he blurted out, "You are Zhang Min!" Killed Cao Song, the culprit who triggered the Battle of Xuzhou, Zhang Min! ”

Zhang Min raised his head and laughed wildly, looking open-minded: "That's right, Cao Song's old boy and more than 50 people from a family were all killed by someone, and the dozens of carts of property you saw were taken from Cao Song." I, Zhang Min, have fallen into the hands of my feet. I can't live anyway, but I can't die as a nobody. What is going to be cut off at the foot is not Zhang Hai's head, but the head of Zhang Min, the governor of Xuzhou! ”

The emergence and arrest of Zhang Min. It was definitely a pleasant surprise, what could I gain from this accident? Ma Han turned his head quickly, and at the same time, he did not forget to continue to interrogate: "I seem to have heard that you have fled to Runan, and Cao Cao has also sent an army to search and kill all the way. How did you end up here? ”

Zhang Min sighed dejectedly: "It's Han Hao's chasing army that forced a certain person into such a situation......"

Cao Cao raised troops for revenge. The first to bear the brunt is of course the culprit Zhang Min, but Zhang Min has absconded to Runan, and there is no trace of him, and it is impossible to send a heavy force to Manyuzhou (Runan County is in Yuzhou) to search and kill this mouse. Cao Cao's main focus was on attacking Xuzhou, and the matter of searching for and killing the culprit was handed over to Xiahoudun, the Taishou who stayed in Dongjun, to be responsible. Xiahoudun immediately sent the army to engage Han Hao, led a thousand cavalry, entered Yuzhou, and killed Runan.

At this time, Yuzhou had no owner, and the county guards and guards were self-reliant, the power was weak, and the sand was scattered, which was also the reason why Zhang Min fled here after killing people and crossing goods, but he didn't expect this to become the main reason why he was finally expelled from Runan.

Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian, invaded Xuzhou, pulled out almost a city a day, slaughtered it if it was broken, and accumulated corpses in the city, which greatly shocked the forces of the surrounding states and counties. The small and medium-sized forces in Yuzhou bordering it were all trembling, and Han Hao raised troops to the area, and the various forces supplied grain and straw one after another, acting as a leading party, and vigorously assisting Cao's army in searching and killing Zhang Min. Imagine how Zhang Min, who was caught in the "vast sea of the people's war", could still hide? What's more, he is not alone, but a big target with 200 cavalry and dozens of carts of property.

Zhang Min didn't think about hiding in the deep mountains, the Funiu Mountains in the northwest of Runan, but the famous deep valleys and ravines, the peaks stretched, and the 100,000 troops threw into it without even a bubble, hiding 200 people and horses a piece of cake. But his subordinates were unwilling, they killed people and seized money, not to burrow deep into the mountains and old forests to be bandits, but to enjoy themselves in the big city.

As a result, the opportunity was lost in hesitation and quarrels, and was finally caught up by Han Hao in the area of Xiangcheng, and after a fierce battle, more than half of the casualties were killed. Zhang Min led the rest of his troops to escape Yingshui and ran eastward for his life, and it was easy to get rid of Han Hao, who was like maggots attached to the bones, and fled to Guangling. At this time, Zhang Min and his gang had a sense of despair that the Central Plains was too big to live in. So he planned to take the sea route by boat, flee to Jiaozhou, leave the Central Plains far away, and leave the sphere of influence of the Cao army.

If you want to go to sea, the first thing is of course the right ship, Guangling is mostly ordinary small and medium-sized ships, which do not meet the requirements. Zhang Min and his gang waited for a long time, and finally waited for the appearance of the White Wolf City fleet. It happened that Yu Xin went around to inquire about the purchase of grain, and Zhang Min, who had already prepared enough grain, immediately sent one of his military marquis to contact him and send food by boat.

After a qiē shun lì, Zhang Min conspired with his men to seize the ship. They packed their weapons in batches in advance, tied them firmly to the bottom of the boat, and after being inspected by the white wolf cavalry, they dived into the water at night and took out the weapons. Since their men were scattered among the ships, the only people who could be gathered were more than twenty people from their own ships. Zhang Min selected four of the most elite and brave subordinates, planning to capture the thief and capture the king, restrain the horseman, and force down his people.

The plan was good, but I didn't expect that when it was about to be launched, I didn't know where to show the horse's feet, but I was discovered by the horse and called for questioning. When the matter came, Zhang Min had to take risks and attack first. Unexpectedly, he was kicked on the iron plate, and he was robbed instead of robbed, and finally fell into the net.
