Chapter 86 The heroes came to Jingkou Town, and the bandits harassed and collected Zhongliang
Let's say that at this time, Zhou Shuyu and Xie Mengyao accepted eighteen heroes. For Zhou Shuyu, he accepted this gang of subordinates for the sake of multiple helpers.
Now, on April 12 of the ninth year of Yan Song Guotaihe, Zhou Shuyu is taking Xie Mengyao and the eighteen helpers he had just accepted, and galloping away according to the direction calculated in Zhou Shuyu's heart.
At this time, Zhou Wenbo and Zhou Wenxuan had already said goodbye to the grandmother who saved them, and walked along the road pointed by the grandmother.
The two children looked at the mountains and mountains around them, although they couldn't help but be a little scared in their hearts, but the longing for their parents made them overcome the fear in their hearts. Now, with the chaos raging, the two children are in danger almost at any moment.
Naturally, Xie Mengyao, who was worried about her two children at this time, was in a hurry almost day and night, and Zhou Shuyu knew very well in her heart that a mother who was worried about her children could do anything. Therefore, Zhou Shuyu has been taking care of her meticulously on the road.
When they came to a large town called Jingkou Town, they saw that there were piles of corpses and bones, and they were full of devastation.
"Alas, the disaster of the sword soldiers!" Zhou Shuyu couldn't help but sigh.
And just when Zhou Shuyu sighed, many ragged people suddenly poured out of the town, they glanced at Zhou Shuyu and them numbly, and then went to collect the bodies of their relatives!
Zhou Shuyu saw a teenager who was preparing to drag away the body of an adult woman on the ground. It's a pity that no matter how hard he tries, he can't drag half a step. Zhou Shuyu jumped off the horse, gave Peng Tingzhong beside him a look, walked to the young man's side, and asked gently, "Child, let's help you!"
"Thank you, uncle. As soon as the young man in front of him thanked him, he immediately fainted in Zhou Shuyu's arms.
"Give him something to eat. Zhou Shuyu said.
"Here you go, sir. Peng Tingren handed a small piece of dry and hard cake to Zhou Shuyu. And Zhou Shuyu took the cake, and then said, "Give me a bowl of water and soak the cake." ”
"Yes, sir. Peng Tingren went to bring a bowl of water and soaked the cake in it.
For Zhou Shuyu's actions, the eyes of these eighteen heroes were filled with both a touch of pathos and a touch of emotion. At this moment, Peng Tingzhong suddenly fell to the ground, listened to the ground with his ears for a while, and said loudly: "Sir, about three thousand people have come to this town. ”
"What? Peng Yanzhen, take this boy to a safe place and feed him the soaked cakes. Zhou Shuyu commanded.
At this time, Xie Mengyao had already lightly jumped on the high roof on the side. She glanced at it from afar, and what came into her eyes was an army dressed in the armor of the Yan Song Kingdom. Xie Mengyao said to Zhou Shuyu and them: "Fujun, it is a group of defeated soldiers of the Yan Song Kingdom, among them there are 800 cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry. ”
Zhou Shuyu heard his wife's announcement, and also flew onto the roof, he looked at the terrain of the town where he was located, and already had a plan in his heart.
At this time, the people of Jingkou Town, who were cleaning up the bodies of their relatives, had already discovered the arrival of this group of Yan Song Kingdom routs, and as a result, they shouted, "The bandits are coming, the bandits are coming!"
The people in the whole town began to flee in all directions, and Zhou Shuyu had a general guess in his heart when he saw the people on the whole street so panicked. So, he was determined to wipe out the invading enemy.
He said to Xie Mengyao beside him, "Mengyao, I'm going to destroy this group of enemies. ”
"Okay, husband, as long as you decide something, the concubine will support you. Xie Mengyao said softly.
"Good. Zhou Shuyu agreed, and he said to the seventeen brothers who were standing on the street watching him: "Brothers, I am going to kill this group of bandits, are you willing to follow me?"
"Sir, we do. The seventeen men all agreed.
"Okay, you all follow me to guard the east gate of Jingkou Town. Zhou Shuyu said, jumped off the roof and rode on his mount. Similarly, Xie Mengyao also jumped off the roof.
"And me, sir. I saw that Peng Yanzhen, who had just fed the young man, also jumped on the horse and said to Zhou Shuyu.
"What about that young man?" Zhou Shuyu asked.
"Sir, I've already hidden him!" Peng Yanzhen reported.
"Okay, let's go. Zhou Shuyu said.
As for the townspeople who were scattered and fled, when they saw Zhou Shuyu and them fearlessly rushing in the direction where the group of bandits came, they couldn't help but mutter, "Aren't these people afraid of death?"
However, there were also young townspeople who were affected by Zhou Shuyu's heroic spirit, and they also began to follow Zhou Shuyu and them to the east gate of Jingkou Town.
Almost instantly, Zhou Shuyu and them were followed by nearly a thousand young adults, who were either holding various farm tools in their hands or unarmed, but their eyes were full of hatred, and they wanted revenge.
In fact, even Zhou Shuyu didn't expect that he would bring out an extremely strong army.
"General, the front is the town of Jinkou, I heard that this town is very rich, with a population of tens of thousands of households, a lot of beauties, gold and silver, I am afraid we will have a greater harvest this time. I saw a lieutenant flattering to a good-looking general who was leading the three thousand people.
"Great, let's get some rest!" said the general triumphantly.
"General, this is the territory of our Yan Song Kingdom, we are the soldiers of the Yan Song Kingdom, how can we rob the people!" Another school captain, who was about thirty years old and had a dignified appearance, strongly objected.
"Captain Chu, do you really think that we are soldiers of the Yan Song Kingdom? Don't forget, we are a rout, and if we are caught by the imperial court, we will also be dealt with by military law. Therefore, we might as well fall into the grass, eat wine and meat, divide gold and silver in a big scale, and be happy. I saw the general say.
"No, I, Chu Zheng, joined the army just to protect my family and defend the country, please forgive me for not being able to follow the general, and I will lead my brothers to accept the guilt. Chu Zheng decided to part ways.
However, I saw this general and said coldly to Chu Zheng: "What? I want to leave, but do you think General Ben will agree?"
"Could it be that the general is preparing to kill him?" Chu Zheng said fearlessly.
"Hmph, Chu Zheng, don't think that these 800 soldiers under your command will really obey your orders and send them to death. I saw the general's murderous gaze, staring at Chu Zheng.
"Captain, please don't make it difficult for us. Sure enough, among the 800 soldiers under Chu Zheng's command, only 43 of his own soldiers and more than 250 soldiers followed him, and the other soldiers actually slashed at him.
"Brothers, can you really bear to do such a beastly thing to the people?" asked Chu Zheng in disbelief.
"Lord Captain, the brothers have not eaten for several days! Just like the general said, why should we follow you to lead the army? How many battles have we fought and how many wounds we have suffered for the sake of the imperial court, but has the imperial court ever remembered us? So, Lord Captain, we have decided to follow the general into the grass and become a coward!" I saw that the more than 600 brothers under Chu Zheng's command, who had been following him, completely betrayed him.
"Why? Is the captain bad to you? Why do you betray the captain?" I saw that one of the soldiers who was protecting Chu Zheng at this time asked in disbelief.
"Yes, what is the Captain sorry for you? Our brothers, if it weren't for the Captain, would we be alive?" the subordinates who had followed Chu Zheng unwaveringly also asked angrily.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I saw that these betrayers under Chu Zheng's command had discarded the so-called shame.
"Captain Chu, get ready, let's go on the road! General Ben thinks it's best to let those of you who followed Captain Chu do it before!" I saw the general say coldly.
"Yes, General. They immediately said yes.
Chu Zheng glanced at them coldly, and said to the brothers who were still following him: "Brothers, it seems that we are going to die at the hands of our own brothers! It's a pity that we can't be loyal to the country." Brothers, follow me, do you regret it?"
"Lord Captain, we have no regrets, it is our honor to follow you. But, Lord Captain, you must live, live to avenge us. I saw those subordinates who had always been loyal to Chu Zheng said loudly. Immediately afterward, they are going to prepare to fight a bloody way for Chu Zheng!
However, to everyone's surprise, only a "whoosh" was heard, and a feathered arrow actually pierced the general's head.
"Enemy attack, run. "This group of defeated soldiers, although they can bully the people, but they have long been soldiers, and now that the general who led them has died, then they will have no fighting spirit and will soon disperse.
Today, only more than 200 people led by Chu Zheng are left in the same place. Chu Zheng looked at the nearly 1,000 young men led by Zhou Shuyu and others who came to them, he jumped off the horse and said to Zhou Shuyu: "Thank you for saving your life." ”
And Zhou Shuyu also jumped off the horse, helped Chu Zheng up, and asked him, "Excuse me, what is Your Excellency's name?"
"This gentleman, my surname is Chu, and my single name is a Zheng character. Now, it's just a defeated general. Chu Zheng laughed at himself.
"It's okay, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. My name is Zhou Heng, and my name is Shuyu. Do you want to follow me in the future!" Zhou Shuyu looked at Chu Zheng, who was still a little conscientious in front of him, and suddenly had a heart to solicit. After all, I have to accomplish a big thing in the future, so I still need a lot of helpers.
"Chu Zheng is willing to follow Mr. Chu Zheng agreed very simply.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
