Chapter 164: Go to Lingzhou

Zhujiazhuang's second anti-encirclement campaign was a complete victory, and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers were captured, disarmed with weapons, unloaded their battle armor, and became unarmed prisoners, tied into strings by ropes.

Zhu Long asked Hu Yanzhuo to take two cavalry battalions and be responsible for escorting them to Zhujiazhuang.

Escorting 5,000 captives is not a simple matter, it requires extremely strong organizational skills, and Hu Yanzhuo has commanded a large army, so escorting the captives should not be a problem, not to mention that Zhu Long sent two of his old subordinates, Han Tao and Peng Xi, to help.

In terms of the personnel appointment of the Guards, Zhu Long is painstaking, and there is a close relationship between the partial general and the deputy general, for example, Li Yan is Zhu Hu's subordinate, Huang Xin is Qin Ming's old subordinate, Han Tao and Peng Xi are Hu Yanzhuo's old subordinates, Zhu Fei has been working with Hu Gang, and only Lu Fang is Zhu Long's bodyguard.

Usually everyone has a tacit understanding, like Qin Ming when he performs a task, he usually only takes Huang Xin with him, and does not order Han Tao and Li Yan to them, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule!

Whether it's a mountain or a faction, Zhu Long can't be eliminated, he can only balance it.

Now that the war is over and the outcome has been decided, the generals of all armies came to Zhu Long with a smile.

"The Xuanwu Army and the Sailor are moving fast enough, just blocking the official army here!" Zhu Long smiled and said to Zhu Biao and Lu Zhishen, full of appreciation in his words.

Although the two armies did not fight, it was precisely because the Xuanwu Army blocked the way of the official army, and the sailor battalion pressed on it from the side, which became the last straw that destroyed the defense line in the hearts of Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo.

Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "After receiving the military order conveyed by Brother Yang Lin the day before yesterday, the Sprinkle family quietly set off with the brothers, and arrived at the cluster yesterday afternoon. ”

He touched his bald head, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Why did the third master come so coincidentally?" ”

Zhu Biao smiled, "The master doesn't know, we have been robbing the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers on this road!" ”

Since he won the battle, Zhu Long did not hesitate to praise everyone's efforts and merits, and he wanted to look back on the merits and rewards. Then he introduced Shi Wengong, the five tigers of the Zeng family, Su Ding and Wei Dingguo, and everyone greeted each other in turn.

Zhu Biao, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Hua Rong were all very interested in Shi Wengong, because they all heard about his record of beating Guan Sheng and beating Lin Chong.

Everyone is a martial arts master, and they know Pets' strength, Guan Sheng and Lin Chong are the top masters of Zhujiazhuang, and no one dares to be stronger than them.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were a little unconvinced, but they were more curious and wanted to know how powerful he was. When martial arts reach their level, they are already at the top, so they are the top masters.

But Shi Wengong obviously went beyond this category, so I really wanted to see what this realm was like.

However, they didn't ask for advice or anything like that, lest others think they were provoking, just a polite greeting.

Lu Zhishen walked in front of Wei Dingguo, clasped his palms together, and said with his head bowed: "Brother Wei, how much did you offend the Sprinkle family just now!" ”

Wei Dingguo hurriedly said: "The master's divine power is amazing, and my brother admires it so much that he throws himself to the ground!" ”

Zhu Long said with a smile: "You may not know that Master Lu was originally the commander of the Western Army, and the fierce general under the command of the old Zhong Jing and Xianggong once uprooted a willow tree in the Xiangguo Temple in Tokyo, King Kong descended to earth!" ”

Lu Zhishen hurriedly said: "If someone else says this, the Sprinkler family will be proud of it, but if it is a big official, it will be ashamed of the Sprinkler family!" ”

He changed the subject and said, "Great official, you and your brothers are tired, why don't you go into the barracks and rest!" ”

Zhu Long shook his head, "Master, I'm afraid we don't have time to rest, you immediately order the brothers of the White Tiger Army to change into the clothes and armor that the official army has taken off, and we will go to Lingzhou!" ”

"Lingzhou?" Everyone looked at Zhu Long in surprise.

Zhu Long nodded and affirmed: "Not bad!" Come and don't be rude, we will also go to Lingzhou City to fight the autumn breeze and empty their treasury! I'm also going to pick up a few new brothers! ”

After Lu Zhishen understood what was going on, he folded his hands, bowed his head and said, "The Sprinkle family is going to let the children change their clothes and armor!" ”

Ba and Wu Song turned around and went together.

Zhu Long looked at Zhu Biao and said: "Third brother, all of your sailor battalions are here, Liangshan is empty, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, you go back first, leave the Huarong brothers and a thousand men and horses, and follow me to Lingzhou." ”

"Okay!" Zhu Biao agreed, pulled Hua Rong to the side, and advised: "Brother Hua take care on the road!" ”

"Third master, rest assured!" Hua Rong nodded and smiled.

"I'll tell Sister Cheng that you went to Lingzhou, I don't know if Brother Hua has something to explain?"

Hua Rong shook his head, although he values love and righteousness, he is not a man with long love for children and short of heroic breath.

A gust of north wind swept by, and Zhu Long felt that the wind was a little more chilly than yesterday.

He looked up at the trees in the distance, the dead leaves had fallen, only the bare branches remained, and a flock of black crows hovered over the trees, not knowing that winter was coming.

And higher in the sky, a group of geese flew south, and the loud chirping of geese resounded throughout. They seemed to fly slowly, but it didn't take long for them to disappear into the distance.

Seeing him looking at the distant side in a daze, the generals who were originally talking and laughing quieted down and did not disturb his thoughts.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at the generals, and said, "Winter is coming!" ”

Zhu Hu smiled: "Big brother, it's already winter, don't you know wow?" ”

Zhu Long smiled and did not explain.

Seeing that the other armies were changing their clothes and armor, Luan Tingyu asked Zhu Long for battle: "Lord, why don't you let our Vermilion Bird Army also change their clothes and armor and go to Lingzhou with you!" ”

"Master Luan, I have another task for you!" Zhu Long's face was solemn.

Luan Tingyu hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Please command, the lord!" ”

Zhu Long said in a deep voice: "There were more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who fled last night, these rebels scattered nearby, they burned, killed and looted, which will bring serious disasters to the people, you lead the Suzaku Battalion to pursue these routs, and all those who harm the people will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Yes!" Luan Tingyu said solemnly.

"This matter is urgent, please leave immediately!"

"Yes!" Luan Tingyu was about to leave, but Zhu Long stopped him again, "Wait!" ”

He looked at Hu Gang behind him and said, "Hu Gang, you are a local, you are familiar with each other, you and Zhu Fei took a cavalry battalion to assist Master Luan."

Hu Gang was very reluctant in his heart, he was now the captain of Zhu Long's guard, and he usually arranged Zhu Long's security measures, and Lu Fang was just a personal bodyguard, responsible for fighting.

Now that Zhu Long is going to attack Lingzhou, but he, the captain of the guard, is staying, what about the safety of the leader? Do you count on that cool Lu Fang?

So he said with a bitter face: "Then your lord, your safety?" ”

Zhu Long said lightly: "In the army, it is safe!" You have to help Master Luan sweep away the rout as soon as possible! ”

Hu Gang did not dare to disobey the order, and reluctantly went to gather the cavalry.

Seeing Luan Tingyu and Hu Gang lead the cavalry to leave and disappear at the bend of the road, Zhu Long retracted his gaze and said loudly: "The rest of the people all change into the clothes and armor of the official army and go to Lingzhou with me!" ”
