In the middle of the day.

In the Taishou Mansion of Wancheng, Sun Jing and others were like pins and needles.

There were still three or five hundred soldiers in the Taishou Mansion, but they didn't dare to move.

Sun Jing had sent people several times to contact the families and landlords in the city, hoping to send troops with them to encircle and suppress the bandits who had entered the city, but those families and landlords Haoqiang did not react, and instead wanted to use the hands of the bandits to raze the Taishou Mansion to the ground, so that they could control Anhui City without much effort.

After all, it is impossible for the bandits to occupy the city without leaving.

"Qi Yu Taishou, the thief who came back from Crouching Tiger Ditch has woken up and is yelling!" One of the soldiers guarding Zhang Min quickly walked into the lobby and reported to Sun Jing.

Sun Jing raised her eyebrows and raised her hand: "Bring it over!" ”

"No!"

This group of bandits inexplicably appeared near Wancheng, which made Sun Jing a little suspicious that they were pawns set up by a certain great family or a big man in Lujiang County, after all, Sun Ce was not very popular here.

At that time, Sun Ce was ordered by Yuan Shu to lead the army to attack Lujiang, which lasted for two years, Lujiang County can be said to have suffered heavy losses, almost every family is covered with linen, everyone wears filial piety, and the people of Lujiang hate it to the bone.

Zhang Min was escorted over by several soldiers and forcibly pressed to kneel on the ground.

"Who is your name, where did you come from, and by whom did you instruct them?" Sun Jing looked at Zhang Min with a stern expression and asked.

Zhang Min found that he was tied up by Wuhua at this moment, and there were many armor soldiers around him, so he knew that it was not good, he was afraid that he was captured, but he was also stubborn, knowing that he would have such a day sooner or later, he immediately held his head high and said: "Grandpa will not change his surname or change his name, Zhang Min is also!" ”

"Zhang Min?" Sun Jing frowned, thinking of a person in his heart, he couldn't help but not want to, in fact, this person is not very good, but his name is too loud.

"Zhang Min, who killed Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and assassinated Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and Luo Jun, the minister of state, on the orders of Yuan Shu?"

Zhang Min said loudly: "It's grandpa, I fell into the hands of you, and it should be like this, if you want to kill or scrape, listen to it!" ”

It's really that Zhang Min, Sun Jing, Ling Cao, Sun Yu and others were dumbfounded.

Ling Cao never thought that he would go to Crouching Tiger Ditch and return defeated, and the person he brought back who was in a coma turned out to be the notorious Zhang Min!

Zhang Jing retracted his thoughts and asked, "Why did you arrive near Anhui City, and why did you fall into a coma in Crouching Tiger Ditch?" ”

"After Yuan Highway died, the generals robbed the grain and grass, and then they scattered, our troops were attacked, suffered heavy losses, and were encircled and wanted by the local government, and fled all the way here!"

"As for why a person fell asleep in Crouching Tiger Ditch, this was done by my rebel general Qin Feng, this person committed the following crimes, and drugged me in my wine with a beauty, and I fell asleep!"

Qin Feng? Sun Jing and Ling Cao both remembered this name!

Sun Jing asked again: "At noon, you will take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, is it your idea or Qin Feng's idea?" ”

Zhang Min didn't hide it: "It's what I mean, we originally intended to leave the territory of Anhui City quickly, but there was no grain and grass to pull, and the careful detectives sent heard that there had been a big battle in Anhui City in the past few days, and it was a time of chaos, so I decided to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city and loot before leaving!" ”

Sun Jing asked again: "What is the reason for the infighting?" Then why did Qin Feng make a woman stun you with medicine? ”

Zhang Min seems to be rude, and he doesn't make a draft when he lies, he just opens his mouth, "It's not for Qiao······ Miss Joe! Qin Feng kidnapped Miss Qiao to forcibly occupy her, I thought she was the daughter of Duke Qiao, and the unmarried wife of Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, to dissuade Qin Feng and wanted to let her go back, but Qin Feng didn't allow it, I had planned to take him down, who knew that he persuaded Miss Qiao first and made Miss Qiao toast to me, I didn't know that the wine was poisonous, and the later things were not clear! ”

Sun Jing didn't fully believe Zhang Min's words, but there was one point, Zhang Min was completely defeated in the internal conflict with his subordinate Qin Feng, but Qin Feng didn't kill him, which is a bit interesting.

At this time, a soldier ran in from outside, "Report - the thieves robbed the treasury and went out of the west city gate, and most of the grain, grass, baggage, and money in the treasury were removed by them!" ”

Sun Jing ordered Zhang Min to be taken down and locked up, waiting for Sun Ce to come back and deal with it.

He took a piece of silk cloth, dipped his pen in ink, pondered, and wrote down what had happened here on the silk cloth.

After he had finished writing, he rolled up the silk cloth, packed it in a small bamboo tube, put it on his cap, and shouted, "Someone! ”

A man came in from outside the door, "Here! ”

"Ride a fast horse and send this letter to the lord quickly, there must be no mistake!"

"Send an order to Xunyang County, send troops to block the road, and prevent the bandit leader Qin Feng from leading his troops into Jiangxia!"

"No!"

This time Sun Ce deceived Liu Xun and took Lujiang lightly, he only brought a few thousand soldiers and horses when he came, and it was precisely because the soldiers and horses did not bring much, and the action was fast enough to conceal Liu Xun, and the city of Anhui was defeated under the sneak attack.

But at this time, the weakness of the insufficient troops was revealed, even a group of small bandits, only more than 200 people, Sun Jing, who stayed in Anhui City, could not stay, so he could only watch Qin Feng and his party snatch a large amount of grain and grass.

"General Ling Cao, quickly send a team of sentry sentries to follow the bandits, if there is any change in the bandits' route, quickly send someone to report to the lord!"

Ling Cao clenched his fists and agreed: "Take the order!" ”

Now that there are not many troops in the city, Sun Jing really has no spare strength to take care of the bandits, but the bandits can't ignore it, because Xiao Qiao was taken captive, and if there is no result, it is not easy for him to explain to Zhou Yu.

On the march, the ranks of the bandits were very long, and Qin Feng had considered how to control the nearly two thousand Liu Xun's subordinates who had surrendered to Cheng, and if he managed it according to ordinary methods with his strength of less than three hundred, there would be problems sooner or later.

At present, the only thing that can be done is to control the grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass are firmly in their hands, these people will not be able to turn over the big waves, so Qin Feng arranged his nearly two hundred cavalry around the grain and grass baggage.

Qin Feng rode his horse to Xiao Qiao's side, and at this moment, Xiao Qiao was in a carriage.

"Miss Qiao, this journey is going to make you tired, and when you get to a safe place, if you want to go back, I will definitely let you go!"

Inside the carriage, Xiao Qiao's voice came: "I hope you don't break your promise!" ”

"I mean what I say!"

It was a coincidence to kidnap Xiao Qiao during the day, Qin Feng knew very well that robbing Xiao Qiao was a big trouble, and it was better to let her go when she got to a safe place, as for her future fate, it had nothing to do with him.

He can't take care of himself now, how can he have the energy to care about the lives and deaths of others?

After walking for a while, Xiao Qiao's voice came from inside the carriage again: "Where is this going?" ”

"I don't want to go anywhere, I will see as I walk, in short, I have to leave Lujiang County first!"

Xiao Qiao guessed that Qin Feng's purpose in leaving Lujiang County was to get rid of the pursuit of the Jiangdong Army.

When it was almost dawn, Qin Feng suddenly ordered everyone to turn around and move towards the northeast.

Originally, the team went west, but now it suddenly turned to the northeast, and the span of this direction change is not small.

Qin Feng's order made the nearly 2,000 people of Xintoucheng complain one by one, some people sneaked away before dawn, but only a very small number of people, most people knew that Lujiang was already Sun Ce's territory, and they would definitely not be able to live if they didn't have food, and they would be caught back if they ran around, and life and death were also a matter of Sun Ce's words.

Following Qin Feng will not worry about his life at least for the time being, and so much food is enough to eat for a while.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Qin Feng rode his horse and galloped on the edge of the team, roaring as he galloped, and from time to time he used his horse whip to beat the soldiers who walked slowly.

Throughout the morning, several groups of routs joined in, and Qin Feng found a few people to inquire, only to learn that these routs were Liu Xun's subordinates who were scattered during the battle with Sun Ce.

By evening, the team had already reached the west bank of Wanshui in the northeast direction, and Qin Feng ordered to set up camp.

"Captain, something to report!" Lu Sheng walked in and said with his fists clenched.

Qin Feng, who was studying the map on how to march to avoid the pursuit of the Jiangdong Army, raised his head and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Captain, I found that someone in the camp got together to discuss in private, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to us, and I ask Captain Du to take precautions as soon as possible! After all, there are less than 300 people in our headquarters, and these people are all Liu Xun's subordinates, there are nearly 3,000 people at this time, and the number is ten times that of my headquarters. ”

Qin Feng was surprised, "In this day's work, our army has gathered thousands of defeated soldiers?" ”

"Yes!"

Qin Feng pinched his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then said to Lu Sheng: "This time, we have snatched a lot of property from the treasury of Anhui City, you take some out, select some clever people from those three thousand people, buy their hearts with money, let these people mix in to find out the news, as long as there is any news of a conspiracy to rebel, report it immediately!" You need to find out who is leading the way and who is cooperating with them, understand? ”

"No! Let's do it! ”

Lu Sheng's method of buying money is very effective, and his vision for selecting people is also very good, and the selected people are all very clever, good at observing and inquiring, and they are all bought without exception.

That night, Lu Sheng reported to Qin Feng: "Duwei, sure enough, someone is secretly discussing, planning to attack us, and after taking the grain and grass, he will go north to Cao Cao!" ”

Qin Feng became nervous, he didn't expect the news to come so soon, "Who are the people plotting?" ”

Lu Sheng said: "According to the detailed report, three of these people are all former advisors under Yuan Shu's account, namely Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Yin!" This time the person in charge is Yuan Yin, Yuan Yin is Yuan Shu from the low, and Yuan Yin plans to instigate the generals to kill us, take the grain and grass to Runan, and then echo with Yuan Shao in Hebei, and attack Cao Cao in the north and south! ”

Qin Feng asked, "Yang Hong and Yan Xiang agreed?" ”

"It is rumored that Yang Hong and Yan Xiang had no intention of serving the Yuan family anymore, and just wanted to return to their hometown to enjoy their old age in peace, but Yuan Yin gathered some people, all of whom were brave people, and Yang Hong and Yan Xiang had to succumb to it in order to survive!"

Qin Feng's eyes suddenly became murderous, and he immediately ordered: "Go and call Juniper and Huang Yi over!" ”

"No!"

Jun Song and Huang Yi soon arrived, and according to Qin Feng's orders, they led their troops to arrest people overnight, and arrested Yuan Yin, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and all the brave people they had gathered.

More than 120 people were arrested, except for Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, Yuan Yin was beheaded by Qin Feng on the spot.
