Chapter 122: Heaven's Will Is Hard to Disobey
Ou Yangguang was about to step forward to stop Li Keyong, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice say, "Brother Ouyang, don't come unharmed!"
Ou Yangguang saw that the person who spoke was Xu Zhi, and he was followed by Zhou Yuanzhi, and the two of them were holding long swords and forcing them towards him. Ou Yangguang thought that he was not Xu Zhi's opponent, and he was afraid that his cruelty to Huifeng would be lost, so he shouted: "Xu Zhi, I am also acting under orders, and this matter has nothing to do with you." If you block it, I will be rude to you!", after speaking, seeing that Xu and Zhou ignored themselves at all, they had to order the soldiers of the Bianjun army to shoot arrows at Xu and Zhou.
Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi used their swords to block the flying arrows, and fought and retreated, escorting Li Keyong and others out of the post gate, but the poor eleventh Taibao Shi Sijing independently supported the jack gate, his strength was not supported, he was pierced by ten thousand arrows, and died under the post gate of Changyuan Station.
Li Keyong and the 11th Taibao just rushed out of the post gate and saw the Bianjun holding the bridge. Xue Zhiqin roared, took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, slashed left and right with his sword, and killed the soldiers in the darkness one after another.
At this time, Li Keyong's intention to drink was not gone, and the support was uncertain, the third Taibao Li Cunqiao simply carried Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, Li Cunxuan, and Li Cunxuan guarded Li Keyong's surroundings, Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi broke off, taking advantage of the looming light, and rushed into the enemy formation.
Xue Zhiqin took the lead in ascending the city tower of Weishi County and led everyone down with ropes.
At this time, Zhu Wen had just arrived, and when he heard that Li Keyong had escaped from Shangyuanyi, he was shocked, and hurriedly chased after Ou Yangguang on horseback. Ou Yangguang said to Zhu Wen: "If the Hu people are in a hurry, they will inevitably flee on horseback, if the marshal sees a Hu man riding a horse, he should shoot an arrow immediately, don't let him escape!"
Zhu Wen nodded yes, and the two went out of the city to chase after each other, Ou Yangguang saw that there were people walking in the darkness ahead, and Pegasus chased after him. Zhu Wen lagged behind slightly, because it was dark and he couldn't distinguish it, he mistakenly thought that Ou Yangguang was a Shatuo soldier, and shot him with an arrow through the back of his head, but poor Ou Yangguang didn't expect that he would die in Zhu Wen's hands.
Zhu Wen saw that Ou Yangguang was shot to death by himself, and Li Keyong had also fled, so he had to collect his troops and return to the camp in a stupid manner. After a while, Li Zhen also came back and said: "The subordinates are incompetent and have failed to complete the mission assigned by the marshal!"
Zhu Wen saw that everything was not harmonious, and immediately said in frustration: "There are so many soldiers in our army, how did Yun Feiyang, Jiang Chengfeng, and Jiang Chao escape with a dozen people?"
It turned out that after Yun Feiyang, Jiang Chengfeng, and Jiang Chao had a banquet, they knew that Zhu Wen was narrow-minded, suspicious and suspicious, and if he stayed in Bianzhou for a moment, he would be in danger for a moment. The three of them decided to carry a few boxes of books overnight and escape from the Bianhe River by boat, all of which were seen by Xu Zhi and others, but they were mistaken by He Mengjiao for the guards in the camp and stolen themselves. So when Li Zhen arrived with his troops, Yun Feiyang and the three of them had already gone away, Li Zhen asked people to extinguish the fire, and they were busy for half the night, losing some grain and grass, and there was no trace of Yun Feiyang and others, and they didn't know the truth until they tortured a few soldiers.
Zhu Wen heard this and shouted, "None of these two major events have been done, if the people of the world know that I assassinated the King of Jin and killed General Ouchi, where will the old man's face go?"
Li Zhen had a thick face and persuaded: "Don't worry about the handsome, the world has always only recognized the successful, no matter how humble the successful person is, it doesn't matter, the key is to win the world, what we do is not important, the face is irrelevant, the important thing is the result, whether it can be successful." ”
Zhu Wen listened to Li Zhen's persuasion, only then did he come to his senses and muttered, "Then according to what you see, what should be the next step?"
Li Zhen replied: "The most important thing is to block the road along the canal and back to the south of the Yangtze River, as long as the marshal orders a strict investigation of the water and land transportation in Bianzhou, Songzhou, Yingzhou, and Bozhou, we will definitely be able to intercept Yun Feiyang and others on the road! Second, we can first report to the imperial court about our assassination of Li Keyong, and reverse black and white, and say that Li Ke will attack us first with his troops, and our Bianjun will be forced to defend itself, and no third party will see this matter, even the people in the city can't tell it, and the commander can rest assured!"
Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Just do what Secretary Li wants, the old man immediately went to the court, and said that the rebellion in Shangyuanyi was caused by Li Keyong's inability to restrain the Shatuo soldiers, causing the Shatuo soldiers to plunder the people in the city after entering the city, and there was a conflict with our Bianzhou garrison, and our soldiers and civilians were forced to defend themselves!"
Besides, Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi used Changyuan Station from Li Ke, and everyone braved the electric light and thunder in the dark, braved the drizzle, and carried torches into a dense willow forest, and suddenly the soldiers who were exploring the road in front shouted: "Go and tell the King of Jin, a wild boar and a python in front of you are blocking the way!"
Li Keyong was still drunk at this time, and with all his courage, he shouted: "Where did you come from? Let Ben Shuai go and see!", after speaking, ignoring the admonition of everyone, he staggered and stepped forward to watch.
I saw a swarthy wild boar, showing its sharp fangs, staring at a yellow python more than three feet long on the ground with wide eyes, and making a "whoop" sound. When they saw that the boar kept retreating, they thought that it was afraid of the python and wanted to flee.
Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi also came forward to watch, only to see that the wild boar had retreated ten steps away, suddenly bowed its head and arched the ground, and rushed towards the python. The python hurriedly coiled its body, raised its huge head, opened its bloody mouth, and exposed its fangs in its mouth, trying to intimidate the wild boar.
The wild boar hesitated for a moment, but was not frightened by the python's attacking movements, but jumped forward with all his might, dodged the python's bite, went around the python's back, and bit the python's body.
The python was in pain, wrapped its long tail around the boar's neck, squirming desperately, tightening its body, trapping the boar firmly and putting it to the ground. The boar was encircled by the snake and began to breathe rapidly, but it desperately gnawed at the python's tail.
Everyone saw that the wild boar and the python were trying to kill each other before they died, and won the final victory. The boar's cry grew deeper and deeper, but it was never suffocated by the snake. The golden python's tail was also gnawed by the wild boar more than a foot long, and it was drenched in blood, but it surrounded the wild boar and never let go.
After a long time, everyone saw the python and the wild boar on the road, still fighting to the death, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they all turned their eyes to Li Keyong!
Rick shot an arrow with a curved bow, which pierced through the python's head and then into the boar's neck. When everyone saw Li Ke shoot the giant python and the wild boar with one arrow and two eagles at the same time, they all shouted in unison: "King Jin shoots gods, kills two eagles with one stone, and is unparalleled in the world!"
Li Keyong saw his divine might, one arrow, killing two harms in a row, his heart was overjoyed, and he saw his own magic skills, and was respected by the soldiers as a god of heaven and man, he couldn't help but think of the story of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who killed the White Snake uprising, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight Ben Shuai had a strange dream, dreaming that the heavenly court sent a messenger to let the servants go to heaven to participate in the queen mother's peach event, and at the imperial banquet, the Jade Emperor personally sealed the servants as the messengers of heaven, and gave three cups of wine, so that the servants could save thousands of people in the world. Before leaving, the Jade Emperor repeatedly instructed his servants: There will be small disasters and small disasters after Your Excellency goes to the lower realm, but these cannot stop Your Excellency's grand cause, please work hard!"
Li Siyuan, Li Cunmiao and other eleven Taibao led the soldiers and shouted: "King Shengming of Jin, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!"
Li Keyong waved his hand to stop the crowd's chanting, and continued to speak: "After Lone went down to earth, he met two children fighting on the way, one child was wearing ochre yellow clothes, and the other child was wearing black clothes, the two children fought inextricably, blocking Lone's way, Lone asked them to give way many times, they all turned a deaf ear, and spoke to Lonely, Lone was afraid that he would miss the big thing that Heaven had explained, so he drew the bow and arrow behind him and let them make way, otherwise he would be unkind to them, who knew that the yellow-clothed child first laughed and said: My family has been the emperor for generations, sitting firmly in Guanzhong, and it has been passed down for 20 generations in my generation, are you more noble than me, why should I make way for you?"
When Zhou Yuanzhi heard this, she secretly asked Xu Zhidao: "Could it be that the boy in yellow is the current Son of Heaven? This Li Ke is too bold, he actually let the son make way for him today!"
Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "Listen to him continue!"
I saw Li Keyong continue: "Just when the yellow child was proud, the black-clothed child raised his fist violently, and while beating the yellow-clothed child, he shouted: The emperor has no seed, and he will fall into my house next year, since ancient times, the world has been inhabited by capable people, how can your family be broken, and you will not give up the throne, and after speaking, you will keep beating the head of the yellow child."
That Huang'er begged for mercy in pain: I was willing to give up the throne, but I wanted a way to live, but the black-clothed child didn't allow it, so he beat that Huang'er to death, and that Huang'er turned into a yellow snake and disappeared without a trace. I saw that the black-clothed man was too cunning and murderous, and an arrow struck him in the head, and he was killed, and the black-clothed child turned into a wild boar with fangs, and disappeared without a trace!
Li Keyong looked at the wild boar and the golden snake lying on the ground, so he was surprised: "What is this?
Li Cunmiao hurriedly led the soldiers to kneel on the ground and shouted: "My father has the throne of God, Zhu Wen is just a clown who jumps off the beam in the clouds, and these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains still belong to the King of Jin in the end, everyone says, right?"
When all the soldiers heard this, they shouted in unison: "Long live King Jin, long live!"
Li Siyuan persuaded: "My father has a heavenly opportunity, why don't you immediately claim respect, command the world, and replace Li Tang!"
Li Keyong said modestly: "At that time, the Western Zhou Dynasty had accounted for two-thirds of the world, and it was still subordinate to Chaoge, and the great sage of King Wen of Zhou did not dare to claim to be respectful. How can he dare to be in this position?"
Li Cunxun also persuaded: "Father, what the eldest brother and the third brother said is that now the Tang court's orders are not working, and the local princes are all secretly recruiting troops and horses to expand their territory, we are originally a different race of Shatuo, even if we have great merit, we will not be reused by the imperial court, this will only attract endless jealousy and resentment in the imperial court and the local area, why not call the emperor Hedong, wouldn't you be happy? Why be controlled by others?"
Li Keyong said with a smile: "Children don't have to persuade each other, they will never lose their temperance in their lifetime, if the destiny of heaven is in me, I am the king of Zhou Wen!"
Xu Zhi saw that Li Keyong was like this, knowing that he had great ambitions and unlimited prospects in the future, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "The King of Jin loves the people like a son, and he will definitely become famous and famous in the future, and now that the King of Jin has escaped, we will say goodbye, and I wish the King of Jin and all the Taibao a smooth journey!"
Li Keyong said with a smile: "Thank you Xu Yingying for saving you this time, and the servant escaped from danger." If you have time, I hope that Xu Daxia, Miss Zhou, and my thirteen Taibaoer will come to Taiyuan to meet together!"
Xu Zhi nodded and agreed, and led Zhou Yuanzhi back to Bianzhou Jingfu Inn along the original road. At this time, He Mengjiao, Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, Anger, and Idiot had already left the barracks safely and returned to the inn.
Xu Zhi asked He Mengjiao and others how to get out of the siege, and only then did he know: It turned out that He Mengjiao and other 5 people went straight to Zhu Wen's Chinese army tent, but because they didn't know Zhu Wen, everyone bypassed the guards, and saw a general sitting in the camp tent through the window, wearing gold armor and a treasure knife at his waist, majestic and majestic, reading in the tent.
Li Cunxiao guessed that he must be Zhu Wen, and shot a few stones through the window, hitting the man's eyes, He Mengjiao immediately threw out the sword in his hand and stabbed the man in the chest. Xue Atan, angry, and stupid, had no choice but to use his sword to kill several exclamating guards outside the tent.
He Mengjiao was afraid that the shouts of the guards would attract more soldiers, so she hurriedly pulled Li Cunxiao with one hand and Xue Atan with the other, led the anger and foolishness, and walked out of the barracks from the north gate, which made everyone strange that there were no chasing soldiers behind him. When everyone listened to Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi's speeches, they knew that Zhu Wen's army was concentrated at the south gate of the barracks at that time, so the north camp was almost an empty camp, and the general they assassinated was not Zhu Wen himself. It turned out that Zhu Wen was afraid of other people's plots, so he usually did not live in the big tent of the Chinese army, but found a stand-in to live in his own line.
The next day, Zhu Wen ordered another auspicious place to be selected as the military marshal's mansion in Bianzhou, and ordered the closure of the four gates of Bianzhou under martial law, waiting for the arrival of the imperial envoy.
It was not until the fourth day that the imperial court sent a messenger to enter Bianzhou City, and Zhu Wen led the officials at all levels in the city to greet him. Seeing that the welcome ceremony was very magnificent, the envoy arched his hand towards Zhu Wen, and said with a smug smile: "Lord Zhu, you and the King of Jin each have a book of notes, describing the mutiny of the two armies of Bian and Jin in Shangyuanyi a few days ago.
Zhu Wen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The Qin is on the top, and the lower officials must obey the order!"
Seeing that Zhu Wen was suspicious, the envoy comforted: "Master Zhu doesn't need to panic, in fact, long live let me come down to Bianzhou, and the investigation is fake, the main thing is to mediate the grievances between the two of you!"
When Zhu Wen heard this, he was relieved and said with a smile: "Qin is on top, the blue sky can be learned, I and the King of Jin were ordered to pursue the remnants of Huangchao, relieve the siege of Chenzhou, and kill more than 10,000 thieves." Later, our Bianjun captured the thief general Shang Rang and the public opinion service and other things, drove the thief head Huang Chao into the Wolf and Tiger Valley, and beheaded him, ready to send him to Xingzai. I didn't know that on the way, I was taken by Li Ke's Shatuo Black Crow Army, and snatched the head of the Yellow Nest, my Bianzhou soldiers were really angry in their hearts, so there were contradictions and conflicts between the two armies! This really has nothing to do with the subordinates and the King of Jin, they all blame our soldiers for being arrogant, and please ask the Chinese envoy to be clear!"
The lieutenant envoy listened to Zhu Wen's words and said with a smile: "I see, Lord Zhu's words, Ben Qin has written it down, and when he returns to the court, he will ask for the Holy Judge!"
Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi and others followed the lively people until they came to Zhu Wen's mansion, only to see the door of the mansion open, gongs and drums, very lively, two red lanterns hung on the lintel, and even the two stone lions on the steps were tied with red silk on their chests.
Zhou Yuanzhi listened to the discussion of the onlookers, only to know that Huang Chao had been killed, she was so angry that she fainted, and Xu Zhi hurriedly held her up. Zhou Yuanzhi woke up after a while, twitched a few times, and was about to cry loudly. Xu Zhi was afraid of attracting Zhu Wen's attention, so he hurriedly covered Zhou Yuanzhi's mouth to prevent her from crying.
Zhou Yuanzhi pushed Xu Zhi away, drew her sword, and was about to step forward to assassinate Zhu Wen and avenge her father. Xu Zhi saw that Lieutenant Envoy Zhu Wen was surrounded by heavily armed guards and archers, and hurriedly stopped her. At this time, Zhu Wen had already entered the gate of the Shuai Mansion with the help of the imperial envoy. Zhou Yuanzhi looked at Zhu Wen's background, sighed, and cried loudly.
Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi was overly sad and almost unstable on her feet, so he had to hold her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Yuanzhi, people can't be resurrected after death, and we will definitely avenge the revenge of the Yellow King!"
He Mengjiao also persuaded: "Sister Zhou, Zhu Wen betrayed the Yellow King and killed the Yellow King, heaven and earth will definitely not tolerate him, and he will definitely not die well in the future!"
Zhou Yuanzhi listened to everyone's persuasion, and then stopped crying, and muttered: "Daddy will be fine, maybe it's Zhu Wen's fraudulent words!", After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhu Wen's marshal mansion.
I saw the housekeeper's scolding voice coming from the house: "Dog slave, today the marshal is going to hold a banquet to entertain the envoy of the imperial court." You are a crippled man, dangling around the house on crutches, and you are unsightly, and you don't want to find a place where no one is to hide!", and with that, he threw out a young slave on crutches.
Xu Zhi saw that the man's hair was scattered and he was unsteady on his feet, and he rolled down on the steps outside the door, hitting the ground heavily, Xu Zhi leaned down, brushed away the man's long hair, and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Hui, why are you?"
Hui Feng saw that the person who helped him was Xu Zhi, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he got into Xu Zhi's arms and cried loudly. Xu Zhi hugged Huifeng, and neither of them spoke, but cried to each other.
Li Cunxiao, He Mengjiao, Xue Atan and others saw that the crippled servant was actually the Huifeng brothers who had gathered the day before, and they all surrounded them.
Seeing that Huifeng was haggard and hoarse, and Zhiwu couldn't speak for a long time, everyone shook their heads in frustration to express their regret. Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao couldn't help crying when they saw that Huifeng was unstable on his feet, his limbs were crippled, and he could only walk on crutches for the rest of his life.
Hui Feng ignored the sadness of the crowd, but struggled to stand up with a cane, and staggered forward, Xu Zhi and the others didn't know where Hui Feng was going, so they had to follow him closely.
