007 Hunt and Kill

Gao Fei led fifty cavalry to chase in the northwest direction, the wind was whistling in his ears, and the sound of horses' hooves falling to the ground, after chasing for several miles, he finally caught up with Guan Hai and others.

"Guan Hai!" Gao Fei fixed his eyes on Guan Hai, who was only a mile away from him, and immediately shouted loudly.

The sound was like rolling thunder, but when he saw Guan Hai's horse, the horse fell to the ground with a bang, and Guan Hai's whole person was lifted off the horse's back. Guan Hai turned a few times on the ground, but when he saw that the horses under the seat were foaming at the mouth and were neighing like a mournful roar, he was frightened and hurriedly got up from the ground, and scolded loudly: "This damned beast! ”

Almost at the same time, the rest of the horses under the Yellow Turban Thieves also fell to the ground one after another, those skinny horses had not eaten good food for a long time, and they were already skinny, plus they had been running for a long time with people, and finally they were physically exhausted in this unknown ravine.

"General, let's go, leave it to us here!" Several Yellow Turban thieves got up from the place, holding their blades, and quickly gathered together, guarding around Guan Hai, and howling loudly. (Note 1)

"Don't let any of you go!" Gao Fei quickly ran over with the cavalry, surrounding Guan Hai and the Yellow Turban thieves.

Seeing that he had no way to retreat, Guan Hai sighed, dropped the big knife in his hand, bowed respectfully to Gao Fei, and said loudly: "General Gao, Guan Hai's head is here, just come and get it, it is also a blessing to be able to die in the hands of the general, you can do it!" ”

Gao Fei originally had the intention to subdue Guan Hai, and when he saw that he took the initiative to ask for death, he laughed and said: "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death!" You followed Zhang Jiao's rebellion, it was an unforgivable sin, and I saw that you were also a good man, so it was better to submit to me and kill Zhang Jiao with me, which can be regarded as a crime. ”

"I participated in the Yellow Turban, just for fame and wealth...... If you can change from a traitor to an official soldier, it is also a good choice, since the great sage and good teacher are gone, why should I die for this? ”

Thinking of this, Guan Hai knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, from now on Guan Hai's life will be the general's." It's just that...... It's just that the great sage and good teacher are my old master, and I can't do this no matter what......"

"I understand what you mean, I won't be strong, you just need to tell me, where Zhang Jiao fled, and the rest will be handed over to me, and after the matter is completed, you will also be a great achievement." Gao Fei saw the sincerity on Guan Hai's face, so he hurriedly said.

Guan Hai's face was embarrassed, he bit his lip, and reluctantly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Due north, go down to Quyang!" ”

Gao Fei said to the left and right: "Leave twenty people to escort Guan Zhuangshi back to the camp, if anyone asks, say that Guan Hai has been submitted to me!" The rest come with me! ”

"No!"

Guan Hai stood up from the ground, bowed deeply to Gao Fei, and said slowly: "May the general succeed!" ”

Gao Fei smiled slightly, rode on horseback, moved the dragon spear in his hand forward, and shouted loudly to the thirty cavalrymen behind him: "The horses under the thief are thin and weak, and they will definitely not be able to run far, as long as I chase all the way, I will definitely be able to catch up with Zhang Jiao." ”

"No!"

Gao Fei let out a loud shout and rode out, followed by thirty cavalrymen behind him, and quickly pursued towards Xiaquyang in the direction of due north.

As soon as the group chased less than five miles north, they saw dozens of horses on the side of the road lying to the ground and dying of exhaustion.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Gao Fei immediately made a gesture and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Gao Fei looked around, saw a long list of footprints on the ground, his heart was overjoyed, and he shouted: "The thieves have no horses, go forward on foot, the Zhonglang general has an order, capture the thief leader, the bounty is 500 catties, brothers, the time has come to get rich, follow me and continue to chase!" ”

After continuing to chase forward for less than two miles, Gao Fei suddenly saw a three-way intersection, ordered his subordinates to stop again, dismounted himself, and checked the footprints on the ground, but saw that there were human footprints on the three roads, he smiled: "Zhang Jiao is not stupid!" ”

"My lord, what shall we do now?" A pro-soldier asked.

Gao Fei walked to the side of the mount, turned over on his horse, and immediately asked, "Which way to go down Quyang?" ”

"Northwest, take this one on the left!" The soldier replied.

"Follow me all to the northwest!"

"My lord, there are thieves passing through the three roads, why do you only chase in the northwest direction? If Yijiao doesn't take this road, won't the adults have lost all their efforts? ”

"Xiaquyang is a place where thieves and soldiers gather, Zhang Jiao will definitely go to Xiaquyang! Although there are more thieves than us, they are already hungry, and they must be exhausted after walking so many ways. As long as we chase a little longer, we will definitely be able to catch up! Come with me! Goofy shouted.

At the sound of an order, Gao Fei and his subordinates rushed out in the northwest direction, and walked forward along the crooked path for less than three miles, but saw Zhang Jiao in front of him running forward quickly surrounded by a group of yellow turban thieves.

"It's Zhang Jiao!" Gao Fei's face was filled with joy, and he shouted loudly, "Chase, don't let Zhang Jiao run away!" ”

Zhang Jiao ran forward under the escort of his subordinates, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and looked back to see Gao Fei chasing with thirty cavalrymen, his face suddenly panicked, and hurriedly shouted to the fifty thieves behind him: "You stay, block the officers and soldiers!" ”

Immediately, more than 80 Yellow Turban thieves quickly separated, and 50 thieves raised spears and swords in their hands to form a human wall, blocking the center of the road. Seeing the sturdy cavalry on the opposite side rushing quickly, some of the thieves trembled all over, and had a great fear of these cavalry, and before the cavalry arrived, they hurriedly dropped the blades in their hands, flashed on both sides of the road, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

When the rest of the thieves saw it, they immediately panicked, and suddenly heard Gao Fei and others shouting angrily at the same time, "Surrender and avoid death", so they threw down the weapons in their hands, flashed on both sides of the road, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Gao Fei's face was grim, seeing that the human wall collapsed in an instant, giving way to a road, and ignoring the thieves kneeling on both sides of the road, he led his subordinates to quickly drive in front of those thieves, staring at Zhang Jiao less than three hundred meters in front of him viciously, and shouted loudly: "Don't go Zhang Jiao!" ”

The roar reached Zhang Jiao's ears, he was already frightened, and the sound of horses' hooves was gradually approaching, and when he turned back suddenly, he saw that there was no one behind him, and those guards who usually respected him like gods knelt on both sides of the road one by one. Although he was angry, he had no choice but to speed up his pace and run desperately.

No matter how Zhang Jiao's two legs run, they will definitely not be able to outrun the four-legged war horse under the high-flying seat.

Goofy quickly chased after him, holding the dragon spear in his hand, and as the horse passed by Zhang Jiao's side, he stabbed forward and pierced Zhang Jiao's body from behind.

Reined in the horse, Gao Fei turned the horse's head, saw that his dragon spear was still inserted in Zhang Jiao's body, and saw that Zhang Jiao had already died and fell in a pool of blood, so he rode his horse to the side of Zhang Jiao's corpse, turned over and dismounted, pulled out the sword in his waist, and cut off Zhang Jiao's head.

"My lord, what about these thieves?"

"The crime is only in Zhang Jiao, these thieves are just deceived by it, and they will all be escorted back to Guangzong, and after hearing this, Zhonglang will send the adults down!" Gao Fei pulled the dragon spear from Zhang Jiao's body, carried Zhang Jiao's head and turned on the horse, glanced at the tired and panting thieves, and said softly.

"No!"

The cavalry gathered the weapons of the dozens of thieves, drove them to the middle of the road, and after giving them a short rest, they were escorted to Quanzong.

Goofy tied Zhang Jiao's head to the horse's neck, and followed the team with a soft shout of "driving". He looked ahead, his heart extremely proud, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When I returned to Guangzong, the war in the city was over, the city was full of Han army flags, and none of the more than 100,000 yellow turban thieves ran away, and all of them were driven to an open ground outside the west gate.

Surrounded by cavalry, Gao Fei entered from the north gate, with a horned head stuck in his dragon spear, showing off his exploits, and slowly galloped into the city through the opening of the north gate.

The city was already a mess, with corpses everywhere, blood splattered all over the streets, some houses still had slight flames and thick black smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and fireworks.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Gao Fei's heart seemed to have a faint pain, and it may be the best explanation for the success of ten thousand bones. He looked up at the dragon spear held high in his hand, and saw the bloodstained head with a hideous face, and he sighed softly.

The Han army in the city was busy, they moved the corpses outside the city one by one, threw all the corpses into a deep ditch, and then buried them.

Gao Fei inquired about where Lu Zhi was, and then ordered his subordinates to join the ranks of carrying the corpse, and went to the county office to find Lu Zhi in person.

After turning a few corners in the city, they met many Han soldiers along the way, and when those soldiers saw the head of the person Gao Fei was carrying, they immediately cheered loudly, and their eyes were full of awe and respect. He soon came to the county office, turned over and dismounted, took Zhang Jiao's head off the dragon spear, and swaggered into the county office.

In the county office, Lu Zhi was sitting in the center, there were people standing on both sides, all the officials above the military Sima level were all there, and when they saw Gao Fei coming from outside the door, holding the head of Zhang Jiao in his hand, his eyes showed a light of envy.

Gao Fei entered the hall, put the head in his hand on the ground, and clenched his fists: "See your lord!" The last general flew high, fortunately not dishonored, and came to present the head of the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn! ”

Note 1: During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiaoli was 36 parties, more than 10,000 people were generous, and 6 or 7,000 people were small, each of them was called a general, Guan Hai was the master of one party, and the thieves were called generals, but it was definitely not equivalent to the official position of the Han Dynasty.
