When Qin Qiong and the others fled, after all, the number was still too small, and they were closely pursued by the Li brothers with the rest of the troops and the Praetorian Guards, and finally Li Xiuning and the eldest grandson Wujian and her uncle's family all fell into the hands of the Li family brothers, and even Chen Shen did not escape, and most of the Chen Kefu guards who guarded them died in battle.

After fleeing for three days and three nights, less than 50 of the 500 people who fled at the beginning were left, and with the men and horses of Li Jing, Wang Rengong and Zhang Zhongjian, there were less than 70 people left at this time.

Finally, at the suggestion of Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and Luo Lin's grandfather, Luo Zhong, the remnants continued to retreat eastward and were divided into three divisions.

The first group consisted of the remaining men and horses of the Secret Service Division, and they set off with orders to Xingyang and other nearby places to convey information to the contact points of the Secret Service Division. Let all the people in the entire Henan of the Secret Service Division immediately go out to find Chen Kefu, and try to rescue Chen Shen, Li Xiuning, Changsun Wujian and others who were captured.

The rest of the men and horses were led by Luo Lin with some scribes such as Fang Xuanling and Luo Zhong and some seriously injured people, as well as Li Jing, Wang Rengong, Zhang Zhongjian and others to withdraw to Liaodong first, inform Liaodong of the situation of the marshal Chen Kefu, and assist the generals of Liaodong to resist the army sent by the imperial court.

As for Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and other generals, none of them were willing to leave. Everyone swore that they would not return to Liaodong until they found the commander. Fang Xuanling also supported their decision, and finally left the eldest grandson Wuji, who had all his family members arrested.

Qin Qiong and the thirty or so people who stayed behind have been active in Henan and Xingyang, and the time has passed for more and more, but none of them are willing to give up. In the end, Qin Qiong and the others transferred 5,000 men from the Secret Service Division, and stationed them in the hidden valleys of five counties near the eastern capital, such as Henan County and Xingyang County, to carry out more detailed search operations. And the three brothers Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin and Li Chengyi are one of the troops stationed in Dongjun.

This place is close to Xingyang, very close to the Yellow River and canals, and people who go southeast of Luoyang, Kyoto, basically have to pass through this vicinity. They stayed here, and it was precisely because of this valley that they were relatively hidden, so that they could hide the more than 1,000 people. Second, it's easier to find out information here. If the imperial court finds the marshal east of Xingyang first, then they will be able to intercept it on this necessary path.

None of them came back with their brothers, and there was such a thing as a clairvoyant mirror, which was particularly convenient for reconnaissance. Before the other party approached, he had already checked the incoming person, and they had just secretly caught someone back.

In the big tent, Qin Qiong and the others looked at the tongue that had just been caught, and their brows furrowed. The man was disheveled, and his upper body was covered with a cavalryman's leather armor, which was torn in many places, and was covered with dried blood. At this time, this young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was looking at Qin Qiong and the others around him with a panicked face, his face full of vigilance.

"Tell me who you are, we won't embarrass you, and as long as you say it, these gold coins are yours." Qin Qiong said softly to the young man, and placed five stacks of ten gold coins in front of him.

The young man looked at the light in the eyes of the gold coin, tiǎn tiǎn mouth chún, and finally couldn't help yòuhuò, "I am from Hedong, and I joined the team of our Wang Da in Hedong last year. ”

"What's the name of the king?" An officer of the Secret Service Division on the side said.

The young man shook his head, "I don't know what the name of the big boss is, but we have a very long and beautiful beard, and everyone calls him Sai Guan Gong, and some people call him Wang Dadao." ”

The officer of the secret service department thought for a while, then turned to Qin Qiong and the others, "I know one of the leaders of the people's army who came from Hedong and called Saiguangong. His name is Wang Junkuo, known as the King of Big Knives, and there are also people called Sai Guan Gong, who make a big knife, quite brave, and there are more than 10,000 people under him, which is not a small force. However, this man has been a scoundrel since he was a child, and he has done everything to bring disaster to the township, stealing and robbing, and despising the township. In the ninth year of the great cause, because he offended the local officials, he killed the officials. After killing the official, he wanted to pull his uncle to cause trouble with him, but his uncle did not comply, so he lied that his uncle and neighbor had a relationship, and after killing the two of them with his uncle, he scattered his uncle's family wealth and started an incident. He is a very scoundrel and has repeatedly surrendered to the officials and soldiers. And it does not distinguish between the official army and the civilian army, as long as it is profitable, it will draw its sword and fight with each other. ”,

When Qin Qiong and the others heard this, this Wang Junkuo was so unbearable, and they all despised it in their hearts.

"Since you are in Hedong, why did you come here again?" Qin Qiong took out a few of the stacks of gold coins and threw them to the young man.

The young man clutched the gold coins tightly, as if the money would fly away if he was not careful, and even stuffed it into his mouth and bit it with his teeth, looking at the tooth marks on it to believe that it was a real gold coin.

"A few years ago, our big boss surrendered to a county in the east of the river, and later took the opportunity to defeat the official army. However, after a few years, the imperial court sent a tiger tooth lang to beat Song Laosheng to beat us, and the big boss went to deceive us, this person first accepted it on the surface, but he was already prepared. Last month, the big boss was in trouble, and he never thought that he would fall for the old Song Sheng, and many brothers were killed and injured. Later, the big boss took us all the way to the east, but the man surnamed Song refused to let us go and chased and killed us all the way. Yesterday evening there was another great fighting near the north bank of the Yellow River, and we lost more brothers, and now there are less than 2,000 people left, and half of them are wounded. ”

Speaking of the situation in the past month, the young man's face was particularly frightened.

Luo Shixin waved his hand and asked the sergeant to take the young man away, "Shubao, this Wang Junkuo fled all the way from Hedong to here, it should be impossible to know the news of the marshal, so it is better to let them go." ”

"No, we can't be careless at all, they don't have many people anyway, we'll take someone to meet this rogue general for a while. Maybe they can know something, and it doesn't matter if they don't have news, but if they know something, it's very important. Qin Qiong said.

The king of the big sword was born as a scoundrel, but he was also very famous in history. After the incident with his uncle, he was alone for a long time, and Li Yuan went to collect him after the incident, and he used a trick to put Li Yuan together and went to take people to Wagang. It's a pity that Li Mi despises his past background and doesn't reuse him. So he later re-voted for Li Yuan and entered Li Shimin's Qin Palace, but made many great achievements, and finally sealed the prince of the country and guarded Youzhou. It's a pity that this person's quality is not good, and he also acted recklessly in Youzhou, and finally defected to the Turks, and finally died at the hands of several border Tang Township soldiers.

At this time, he finally arrived in the valley with two thousand remnants, but suddenly found a horn sounding, and suddenly a troop of soldiers and horses poured out from the bottom of the mountains on both sides, and surrounded them. Wang Junkuo's face was pale, but he didn't expect to rush to Wagang, but he still capsized in this ditch.

It was only for a long time that he didn't see the soldiers and horses attacking, and just when he was a little confused, he saw that the soldiers and horses on the other side of the valley suddenly opened a passage, and dozens of young generals in exquisite armor came out.

Wei Zheng said in Wang Junkuo's ear, "Great boss, this is not the imperial court's soldiers and horses, you see that although their armor is as good as the Praetorian Guard, they have no banner. And if it was the imperial court's soldiers and horses, since they surrounded us, they would have attacked a long time ago. ”

Wang Junkuo heard this, and sure enough, after so many years of the incident, he also knew a lot about the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui. The soldiers and horses in front of him are well-equipped and unified, especially those who came later, and the armor they wore was even more general-level. These people are not only well-armored, but also have horses, such equipment, it is impossible for the government soldiers in various parts of the Great Sui to equip it. But if it was the Praetorian Guard, then their banner would have been lit up and attacked early.

It can't be a government army, it's unlikely to be a forbidden army, and it's even less likely to be a civilian army. Wang Junkuo was a little confused by the two-headed monk, and he didn't understand where such a group of soldiers and horses came from.

After arching his hand towards Qin Qiong and the others on the horse, Wang Junkuo said loudly, "In Xiahedong, Wang Junkuo, the people of the rivers and lakes are called the King of the Great Sword. I don't know which way the brothers in front of me are on, so please come forward and tell us! ”

Qin Qiongce stepped forward immediately, because his true identity was still wanted by the imperial court, and he didn't want to let this not-so-reputed Wang Junkuo know. So he arched his hand and said loudly, "Qin Yong in the lower two rivers is doing business between the Yellow River and the canal in Xingyang and Dongjun. Today's encounter with Wang Da's master is also fateful, I took the liberty to come to see him, please forgive me. ”

Wang Junkuo and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, shook their heads at each other, he turned his head and looked at his uncle Wang Shimeng, Wang Shimeng also shook his head, "Uncle hasn't heard of these two river villages, is it a new incident?" ”

Seeing that it was a name that no one knew, Wang Junkuo felt that it was very likely that the other party was lying. Among the eastern counties, as far as he knew, there was only one Wagangzhai that was the strongest. And Wagangzhai has always started as a canal trader, are these people the people of Wagangzhai who have recently gained momentum?

Thinking that it might be the people he wanted to take refuge in, Wang Junkuo didn't dare to be careless, and said with a smile, "I don't know what Qin Yingying has to say?" The heroes who are about to rush to Huaxian County and lead their brothers to Wagang? Qin Yingying has something to say, if there is nothing serious, then he has to hurry, and when he settles down in Wagang, he will definitely come to visit everyone again. He thought that the other party must be a native of Wagangzhai, and when he said this, he would not immediately win the favor of the other party.

It's just that to his disappointment, the other party didn't react after hearing it, but repeatedly asked him a bunch of nonsense topics, and after he answered them one by one, he roared away with the people. Only those who were left there were puzzled and stunned.

Today's second update is delivered, and there will be more later!
