Chapter 335: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots
"No, Master. Let's go, let's go together. If you don't leave, we'll stay with you! Wang Jiayin said emotionally.
Xu Hongru smiled sadly, and he slowly lowered his arm. A bright dagger was plunged deep into his chest.
"Jiayin, you, take your brothers, go, go! Again, don't mention the incense teaching, and again, don't say anything about fighting, heaven, and down! ”
When Xu Hongru said this, he finally couldn't hold on and fell on his dragon chair.
When the women saw Xu Hongru commit suicide and die, they threw themselves on him and cried.
Wang Jiayin held back her tears and kowtowed to Xu Hongru three times.
"Sect Master, don't worry. I, Wang Jiayin, swear here today that I will definitely help you avenge this great revenge. I'll rush back to my hometown of Shaanxi. I must reorganize the people, overthrow the court, and establish a world that belongs to our poor! ”
After speaking, Wang Jiayin stood up, no longer hesitated, and hurriedly went out with a knife.
When Yu Ren arrived at Xu Hongru's mansion, Xu Hongru was already dead. And his 300 personal guards were nowhere to be found.
At this time, the county seat of Tengxian County was full of fleeing people. For the time being, the officers and men have not launched an offensive.
"Zhang Pan, you rush back immediately and prepare to attack the city.
However, you have to keep in mind that you can only attack one side of the city, and let them flee for their lives on the other three. ”
"General, wouldn't that be good? Since ancient times, soldiers have said that they are surrounded by three and one. Why do you want to go around one? ”
Yu Ren smiled lightly. "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent. There are too many disciples of the Smelling Fragrance Sect gathered in Teng County right now. If we enclose three corners and the passage is too small, there will be very few people who can escape. This will kill a lot of innocents. The resistance we suffer will be much stronger.
Right now, Xu Hongru is dead, and the rest of the people are basically nothing to worry about. As long as Liu Ziming is caught again, the others will let them go! ”
Zhang Pan heard this, agreed, and hurriedly left with more than ten people.
After Yu Ren waited for Zhang Pan to leave, he led the others to the alley outside Liu Ziming's house.
The gate of Liu's mansion was closed, and there was no light in the courtyard, and it seemed that no one was there.
"They must have escaped! General, let's hurry out of the city and chase it, shall we? Ruomei saw this and said.
Yu Ren shook his head. "No, we'll just wait here."
"However, there is no one in this courtyard anymore! Wait a little longer, they probably won't come back! Ruomei asked puzzled.
Yu Ren smiled lightly, "You don't have to ask so much, just wait." I promise I won't let Liu Ziming escape. ”
Ruomei saw Yu Ren say this, so she had no choice but to stop saying it. She thought that Yu Ren deliberately wanted to let Liu Ziming escape, otherwise why not chase her. This is not surprising either. After all, he had a relationship with Yu Yuqian, even if he let Liu Ziming and them go, it was normal.
At least, this approach is acceptable in Ruomei's little girl's heart. In this girl's heart, there are not so many countries that rise and fall, she only cares about her friends and relatives.
The crowd waited for about half an hour, and a short man hurried over from the other side of the alley.
"Stop, who's who?" Ruomei saw that the man was about to approach them quickly, and she couldn't help but raise her vigilance.
"Please tell General Yu that the person he is looking for is in Qilizhuang outside Xicheng."
When the man had said this, he said no more, turned and left.
Ruomei was a little baffled by him. She tried to catch up and ask, but the man walked too fast. Before Ruomei could catch up on the alley, she saw the man's body flash and disappear.
Ruomei had to come back in frustration, but Yu Ren was not angry at all.
"Alright, it's time for us to go!" Seeing Ruomei coming back, Yu Ren said to everyone.
"Where?" Ruomei asked.
"Didn't that man just say? Outside the West City, Qilizhuang! ”
Ruo Mei then figured out that the person was here to report Liu Ziming's whereabouts to Yu Ren, no wonder Yu Ren was waiting here.
A group of people rushed out of Xicheng and marched towards Qilizhuang.
At this time, Teng County has already been wide open, and people are constantly coming in and out. Although it was midnight, the man who guarded the city gate had already jumped without a trace, and there was no one to care about the opening and closing of the city gate.
The people followed along the official road among the people and deserters who had fled out of the city. After walking about three miles ahead, the four sides began to become less and less.
After walking for about seven or eight miles, I saw a village next to the official road. There are about 1 or 200 households in this village, and the village is not big, but it is not small.
At this time, it was the third watch, and it was dark in Zhuangzi, and if they wanted to find Liu Changle and them in such an environment, it was impossible to rely on the twenty or so people in their hands alone.
Yu Ren took the lead and came to the entrance of the village. He didn't act right away.
The small village at midnight is quiet, and there is no abnormality to be seen. The village was surrounded by open fields on all sides, and the enemy could flee from any direction if they wanted to. This is the most troublesome thing at hand.
"General, do you want to disperse the people and surround the village?" Ruolan Zema followed, and asked softly.
Yu Ren shook his head, "No need. Liu Ziming's three disciples are not easy to mess with. What's more, there is also a Cao Wenzhao. This village is so big, if we spread the people apart, we are afraid that they will be broken by each of them.
It's not difficult for us to defeat them now, but it's too difficult to destroy them, and if we're not careful, we may be eaten by them. Therefore, our task is to keep an eye on them until Li Zhaoji or Zhang Pan sends someone to support us. ”
Before Yu Ren finished his words, a person suddenly jumped down from a big tree beside him.
"Be careful!" Ruolan exclaimed.
The man did not sneak attack Yu Ren, but bowed down and saluted Yu Ren.
"The man the general was chasing had left here in two carriages a quarter of an hour ago."
Yu Ren looked at the man in front of him, a person dressed like a full dealer. Yu Ren estimated that he should also be the Jinyiwei secret agent arranged by Li Zhaoji for him.
This time, although Li Zhaoji did not come, he still provided Yu Ren with an important help. It was to help Yu Ren contact the Jinyi Guards around Teng County. In fact, these people broke into the interior of the Wenxiang Sect as early as the beginning of the Wenxiang Sect, and it was only at this time that they really played a role.
They were the ones who deliberately deceived those deserters from Yanzhou outside the city before.
"Take us after it!" Yu Ren heard this and said hurriedly.
The man said unhurriedly, "Actually, there is no need for the general to be in such a hurry to chase them. We have sent three groups of men to follow them. I won't let them escape anyway. The general only has more than 20 people at the moment, and even if he really catches up, it will inevitably be a fierce battle.
In the case of Liu Ziming's desperate situation, the general will also suffer heavy casualties. Why don't you let them run first? The general can rest here for the night, and when General Zhang's army arrives tomorrow, we will chase after it! ”
Yu Ren listened to this person's words and did not speak. He knew that this man was just trying to save face for him. In fact, he was worried that his two dozen or so people would not be able to beat Liu Ziming, but let them run away. If you let them escape, it will be much harder to find them again.
Ruolan also said at this time, "This big brother is right. General, we really haven't rested for a long time. We don't care, if you wear out your body, that's a big deal.
Anyway, now the rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Sect has been put down. There are only a few people left with Liu Ziming, even if they let them escape, they won't be able to make any waves. It's better to wait and chase after General Zhang when he arrives! ”
Yu Ren turned his head to look at the subordinates around him. They are indeed all tired. After working all night, people have not dismounted and horses have not rested. Even if a person can hold it, this horse probably can't hold it.
"Alright! Then let's rest on this village for one night! When General Zhang Pan comes tomorrow, let's chase it together. ”
When the crowd heard this, they burst into a chorus of joy.
With the help of this brocade guard, they found a few families in Zhuangzi and rested casually for the night.
