Not in the middle of the day.

The hottest time of the day.

It's close to September, and the weather is finally a little cooler, but it's only cool in the morning and evening.

During the day, the sun was shining, but it was still hot.

A mile away from the county seat, Han Zhen led the cavalry and the infantry led by Xiao Wu to successfully converge.

Glancing at the direction of the county town, he ordered: "Rest in place for half an hour!" ”

It's not that he doesn't believe Liu Qi and Nie Dong, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Maintain the combat strength of your soldiers, even if you encounter an accident, you can calmly deal with it.

Hearing this, the soldiers sat on the ground one after another, seizing the time to eat and drink water to replenish their strength.

Half an hour later, Han Zhen slowly stood up.

"Armor!"

With his order, the two thousand Qingzhou soldiers immediately stood up and began to put on their armor.

These two thousand soldiers are the elite of the Qingzhou army, and aside from the heavy armored cavalry, the 1,500 foot soldiers, even the crossbowmen, are wearing half-body iron armor, not to mention a hundred pairs of foot armor.

Soon, the soldiers were fully equipped, one by one, with their heads held high, and lined up in a neat line.

Under the scorching sun, a set of iron armor flashed with cold light.

An invisible evil aura gathers together, just like substance.

Looking around, Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction and waved his big hand: "Enter the city!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers roared, their eyes flashing with excitement.

No one in the Qingzhou Army was afraid to fight, and from top to bottom, they were full of arrogance.

This arrogance was brought out by Han Zhen leading the troops one after another.

Every time it is a game with less, and every game is a big victory.

After the recruits enter the camp, they will also be unconsciously infected by the words and deeds of veterans in the army.

Secondly, meritorious service will be rewarded.

Even if a soldier dies on the battlefield, he does not need to worry about the reward being greedy, but will send it to his family in full, and there will be an additional generous pension.

Psychologically, he is not afraid of war, and he has no worries, so every time he fights, everyone rushes to be the first to kill the enemy!

Boom Boom!

Han Zhen rode a war horse, led 500 cavalry to take the lead, and 1,500 foot soldiers in the rear, marching neatly and closely behind.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the defenders on the city tower.

The defenders were startled at first, and when they saw the people clearly, their faces suddenly turned happy, and a burst of cheers broke out from the top of the tower.

"The county magistrate is here!"

Immediately, soldiers went to the inner city to report the news.

When he heard the news, Liu Qi was drinking fragrant drinks at the tea shop opposite the mansion.

I saw him stand up and say excitedly: "I'll go to greet the county magistrate." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Nie Dong to react, stepped on a war horse and galloped towards the outer city.

……

Bang!

The two heavy gates slowly opened, and a man and a rider immediately rushed out of the gates.

All the way to Han Zhen, Liu Qi grabbed the reins and arched his hand: "I've seen the county magistrate!" ”

Han Zhen didn't stop, still urging the war horse, slowly walking towards the city gate, and at the same time ordered: "Tell me about the situation last night." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly adjusted the direction of the war horse, half a position behind, and then told the story of what happened last night.

Compared with the brief emergency report of the three soldiers, Liu Qi said in more detail, and the details were mentioned everywhere.

"The county magistrate didn't know, if it weren't for the fact that the errand officer suddenly came out and spoke, causing the achievement to fall short, I would have led those daring soldiers away."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked a little regretful.

He asked himself to be alert and easy to deal with, if it weren't for the errand soldier, I was afraid that it would be another ending.

After listening, Han Zhen nodded and praised: "You dealt with it well this time, although you were finally recognized, but it was not your fault, it is not in vain that I value you so much." ”

"Hey, hey!"

After receiving Han Zhen's praise, Liu Qi was extremely happy, grinning and smirking.

As they spoke, the two of them had passed through the cave and entered the county town.

The streets were deserted, and the people of the city were hiding in their homes.

Da-da-da-da!

The horseshoe-inlaid horseshoe stepped on the bluestone slab, making a crisp sound.

As the cavalry continued to pour in, the sound of horses' hooves gradually converged and echoed in the silence of the county.

In the houses on both sides of the street, people quietly opened their doors and windows and looked out through the gaps in the doors and windows.

At first glance, the people were shocked.

Cavalry!

Heavy cavalry!

These cavalrymen were already tall and strong, and at this moment they were heavily armoured, and they were even more powerful.

Even the war horse under the crotch is dressed in iron armor, like a chariot.

The cavalrymen's faces were grim, and their eyes flashed with a chill.

A murderous aura immediately rushed to his face.

Daunting.

On the second floor of the teahouse next to the street, the windows were half open, and several old men dressed as scribes sat in front of the windows, looking down.

"Shhh

The first old man gasped and exclaimed, "Fierce and fierce, it is really a division of tigers and wolves." ”

This person's name is Wang Chongkai, and his grandfather is a generation of virtuous Wang Zeng.

Although the Wang family has no one in the court now, with the help of his grandfather Yu Yin, he is also a wealthy family in Qingzhou, and even Zhao Ting does not dare to offend easily.

Another old Confucian nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Looking at its momentum, it has the majestic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties." ”

"It's a pity that such a strong teacher is a thief."

Wang Chongkai sighed, looking regretful.

The old man smiled slightly: "Hehe, why do you need to mind Brother Fuyang, the thief at that time may not be able to become a pillar of the country in the future." ”

As soon as the letter of Zhao'an persuaded to surrender, a few people were able to resist the temptation of sealing their wives and sons, and high-ranking officials.

Wang Chongkai was not as optimistic as Lao Ru, and said in a worried tone: "I'm afraid that this son is like Fang La, and he has a big plan!" If you insist on rebellion, the land of Qingzhou will be ruined again, and mourning will be everywhere. ”

Hearing this, another old man smiled bitterly and said: "Right now, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, so what can I do." ”

……

In the inner city, thousands of daring soldiers squatted on the ground.

After being exposed to the scorching sun for a day, one by one drooping their heads, like frosted eggplants, wilting.

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves and heavy and neat steps reached everyone's ears.

Shi Wenhui raised his head suddenly, only to see a team of heavily armored cavalry approaching him.

The first person was dressed in human armor, and his whole body was wrapped in iron armor, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

A dark horse lance in his hand flashed with bursts of cold light.

Behind him, more than 500 cavalrymen were all heavily armoured, like a torrent of steel.

Further, the black-pressed foot soldiers walked towards the inner city with neat steps, and the heavy footsteps were like drumsticks, knocking on the hearts of all the daring soldiers.

Gollum!

Shi Wenhui swallowed his saliva, and his heart was terrified.

He originally thought that the 1,000 foot soldiers led by Nie Dong were already elite.

Looking at it again at this moment, I know that I am sitting in a well and watching the sky.

The real elite of the other party did not dispatch at all.

In contrast, Zhang Wanxian's Dare Blazing Army is like a beggar and a wanderer.

Nie Dong immediately stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will see the county magistrate!" ”

"Good work."

Han Zhen comforted him, and then said in a loud voice: "Xiao Wu, lead the foot pawn to change the defense!" ”

"Order!"

Xiao Wu in the rear responded loudly and sent his soldiers to replace the 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers who came last night.

Glancing at the prisoners of war of the Dare Blazing Army, Han Zhen's gaze fell on the mansion and asked, "Since last night, have anyone been in and out?" ”

"No one is in or out."

Nie Dongyu reports.

Hearing this, Han Zhen raised his chin towards the mansion.

Nie Dong immediately understood, and commanded his soldiers to start banging on the door.

Rumble!

The door was slammed open in an instant, revealing panicked faces.

Han Zhen waved the reins of his horse and set up his horse and walked towards the mansion.

Da-da-da-da!

The crisp sound of horses' hooves was heard in the ears of the state officials at this moment, but it was like a talisman.

Dozens of non-commissioned officers, all with frightened faces, kept retreating, and the hands holding the blades trembled slightly.

Stepping over the threshold, Han Zhen looked at the official and said condescendingly: "Put down your blade and kneel down to surrender!" ”

Although the tone is flat, it reveals an unquestionable meaning.

Bang Dang!

Without the slightest hesitation, Dutou decisively threw away his blade and knelt on the ground.

He is not stupid, those cavalrymen showed murderous intent, but they were afraid that if they descended slowly, they would lose their heads.

Seeing that all the heads had been lowered, the remaining officials and soldiers were relieved and knelt down to surrender.

The next moment, a group of cavalry rushed into the courtyard and collected all their weapons.

"Which army are you waiting for?"

At that moment, an official asked tremblingly.

Han Zhen didn't pay attention to it, turned over and dismounted, handed the horse lance in his hand to the old nine queen behind him, and he stepped into the lobby in a hurry.

Entering the lobby, Han Zhen walked straight to the middle hall case, and sat down.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Ting and Liu Mi hurriedly walked out of the backyard at this moment.

Seeing the scene in front of them, a trace of horror flashed in the eyes of the two.

Sure enough, the one who came was not good!

Pulling up the face cover, Han Zhen smiled and said, "Liu Tongju, don't come to harm!" ”

Liu Mi forced a smile on his face: "Thank you Han Langjun for leading the troops to help this time." ”

Han Zhen looked at Zhao Ting again and asked, "This is Zhao Zhizhou." ”

"Exactly."

Zhao Ting pretended to be calm.

It was the first time he had met Han Zhen, and the two had previously exchanged letters.

Seeing the real person at this moment, the breathtaking aura made him a little breathless.

At this time, Liu Mi arched his hand and said: "Han Langjun galloped to the aid of the county town, we are really grateful, and we are willing to offer 100,000 stones of grain and grass to express our gratitude." ”

"Huh!"

Han Zhen smiled meaninglessly.

Liu Mi and Zhao Ting suddenly chuckled in their hearts, and secretly said that it was not good.

Han Zhen stared at the two of them, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "I want Yidu County, do you have any objections?" ”

Rumble!

This sentence was like thunder, exploding in the minds of Zhao Ting and others.

Liu Mi's face was pale, and the whole person was shaky.

"Vulna thief!"

Suddenly, a furious voice rang out outside the lobby.

I saw an official jumping out of the crowd, walked into the lobby with an angry face, pointed at Han Zhen at the back of the hall and scolded: "You chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, and this official can't eat your meat!" ”

Subsequently, the official pointed the finger at Zhao Ting and Liu Mi: "You are in a high position, and you eat the king's lu, but you don't want to be loyal to the king and serve the country, but you are in cahoots with the anti-thief, and you are a minister in vain, but you are really a traitor!" ”

Zhao Ting's faces were white and blue for a while.

Boom!

Lao Jiu took out the knife at his waist and was about to step forward, but saw Han Zhen waving his hand.

Han Zhen looked at the other party with interest and asked, "What's your name?" What is the official position? ”

The official held his head high and said: "This official Wu Guinian is the manager of the state government to join the army. The traitor does not need to say much, today there is only death! ”

"Not bad!"

Han Zhen nodded, turned his head to Liu Mi and said: "The manager of the state capital joined the army in Wu Guinian, colluded with the thief Zhang Wanxian, and dared to enter the city at night, intending to rebel, and died after being exposed. Liu Tongju, am I right? ”

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, the officials outside the hall looked at him with shocked faces.

Even Wu Guinian, who was about to die generously, had a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

Murder, but also punishment?
