Chapter 505 Zhou Feng
Although Yichun County officials fled to flee, there were also those who were loyal to their duties, such as the thief Cao Cao and Zhou Feng.However, he was not loyal to Sun Nan, the county magistrate of Yichun, but Liu Jing.

Liu Jing was well aware of Sun Quan's threat. After he unified Jingzhou, he immediately began to plan Jiangdong, and arranged in advance. Yichun is close to Changsha, so it naturally became the main direction of attack.

Zhou Feng is in his early thirties this year, strong and skilled in martial arts. He was originally a local tyrant in the Yichun countryside. Later, when he saw the chaos in the world and the restlessness in counties and counties, his inner ambitions were full of ambitions, so he gathered followers, lawbreakers, desperadoes, etc., and entered the valley to form a village as a thief.

According to the original historical development, like Peng Hu, he would eventually become a great thief in Yuzhang. In his heyday, he had more than [-] disciples, wreaking havoc on counties and counties, and was later wiped out by Zhang Zhaodu generals.

In this time and space, Zhou Feng had not yet become a climate, but he was defeated and captured by Liu Xiu when he robbed Changsha.In the face of life and death, Zhou Feng chose life without hesitation. Liu Jing took the time to meet him in person, comforted him, and then released him to wait for the call in Yichun.

As for whether Zhou Feng really attached himself or not, to be honest, Liu Jing didn't care at all, because it was just a casual chess game, whether it was successful or not, it didn't affect the overall situation.

But Zhou Feng has been completely overwhelmed by Liu Jing's magnanimity, and regards this arrangement as a step forward. After returning to Yichun, after thinking about it, he thinks that if he continues to be a thief, even if he gathers thousands of people again, it will be difficult to do anything. Because of this, he put his idea on Yichun's head. If he can win Yichun and dedicate it to Liu Jing, it must be a great achievement.

Zhou Feng is well-known in Yichun, he is willing to abandon the thief and do good, and lead the people back. Of course, Sun Nan, the magistrate of Yichun, will not refuse him.

Zhou Feng himself is capable, and he has a group of desperadoes under his command. Soon he became a thief Cao Cao. His family also raised hundreds of swordsmen.

You know, there are only five hundred soldiers in Yichun City at present.

When Zhou Feng heard that Liu Jing led a crowd of [-] people from Jingzhou down the river and swept across the northern part of Yuzhang, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. , responding to Liu Jing.

However, before he could do anything, Zhuge Liang led an army of tens of thousands to attack from the west. Zhou Feng was more surprised than happy this time.

Since Liu Jing was unstoppable in the north, he might go south to Nanchang at any time, so Sun Ben repeatedly recruited troops from all over the country to defend Nanchang.Yichun originally had thousands of soldiers, but half of them were transferred away. Now there are only [-] soldiers left. This strength cannot stop the tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops.

Before the Jingzhou army attacked the city, he had to take the first step, find an opportunity to kill Sun Nan, the county magistrate, and gain control of Yichun, otherwise all his previous plans would be in vain.

"School officials are untrustworthy!" Sun Nan, the county magistrate of Yichun, looked at the empty county temple and said with a livid face.

Sun Nan was tall and tall, and he looked like a man of extraordinary bravery. He was from Wu County. Although he was not from the Sun clan, he had followed the expedition as early as Sun Jian's time, and he was regarded as the elder of Jiangdong.

Zhou Feng, who was following Sun Nan heard the words, quickly calmed down, only to see Sun Nan turned around and asked Zhou Feng, "Ziyun, tell me, how do I treat the officials of the county temple on weekdays?!"

Zhou Feng replied without any hesitation: "The Ming court naturally treats its subordinates very well, not to mention other people, the subordinate officials were originally from bandits, but the Ming court did not give up on them, causing them to treat their subordinates as their confidantes, and the subordinates will fight to the death to repay the Ming court. Grace."

Sun Nan was deeply moved when he heard this, and sighed: "I think I treat the people below well, but now that Yichun is in trouble, they are ungrateful and abandon me one after another. Ziyun, Man County is an official, only you are a loyal person ..."

Zhou Feng was hesitant for a while, and was about to show his loyalty again, when suddenly someone came to report that Jingzhou cavalry had arrived several miles away, and they would be approaching the city soon.

"The Chu thief is here...?" Sun Nan couldn't help but change his face. He thought that the Jingzhou army would arrive tomorrow at the earliest, but he didn't expect that the other party sent cavalry to arrive one day earlier.

Fortunately, he has led the army for many years and has rich experience. He took precautions early, closed the north and west gates, and sent scouts to go out to investigate, otherwise there was a real possibility of being attacked by the opponent.

Seeing the terrified expressions on the faces of the people around him, Sun Nan pretended to be calm and said, "The city of Yichun is strong, and it is definitely not for the Chu thieves to take down in a short time. I have sent people to Nanchang for help. As long as I can hold on for a few days, The Ming government's reinforcements will arrive soon, and the Chu thieves have nothing to worry about."

Zhou Feng immediately stated: "The officials are willing to fight to the death with the Ming court to resist the Chu thieves."

Everyone reacted and echoed in unison: "I would like to fight to the death with Ming Ting to the city to resist the Chu thieves..."

"Okay!" Sun Nan gave Zhou Feng an appreciative look, and then said with a big laugh, "Follow me to the northern city wall to wait for the Chu thieves."

"promise."

Immediately, Sun Nan led a hundred and ten songs and county officials out of the north gate of the county temple and went straight to the north.

When passing Taoli, Zhou Feng, who was riding behind Sun Nan on horseback, suddenly accelerated to Sun Nan's side, and said: "Ming court, the proverb says: 'If the army has no money, the soldiers will not come; if the army has no reward, the soldiers will not go.' Today The enemy is overwhelming, and the soldiers are afraid, so we must encourage morale with generous rewards."

How could Sun Nan not know this truth? The problem is that Jiangdong's military system is different from that of other places. Sun Quan does not allocate military expenses to foreign generals, but let them feed on the counties where they are stationed to raise troops.With the endowment of a county, Yichun has raised more than a thousand soldiers, and they are living a tight life on weekdays. There is no money left to reward the soldiers.

Seeing Sun Nan's embarrassment, Zhou Feng sneered secretly, threw out the bait and said: "The officials also know that the Ming court is loyal and upright, and they don't accumulate wealth. The officials used to be thieves, and they had quite a lot of property. These are all ill-gotten gains." , Yichun is in trouble today, and the officials are willing to donate their family wealth for military support."

"Ziyun's words are serious?!" Sun Nan stared with disbelief.

Zhou Feng said awe-inspiringly: "Of course it's true, it's just a waste of money. The Ming court is kind to the subordinates, so the subordinates will naturally share their worries for the Ming court." Then he pointed to the alley in front of him and said, "My home is in Taoli in front of me. , the Ming court can take it home with me."

"Okay!" Sun Nan said happily, "If you can repel the Chu thieves this time, I will recommend you to Sun Qiulu, and you can expect fame and wealth."

"Thank you Ming Ting, the officials have admired Sun Nan for a long time, and only hate his low status and not being able to serve his subordinates..." Zhou Feng said while leading Sun Nan to his house.

Zhou Feng claimed to be quite rich, although it was to lure Sun Nan into the urn, but it was not a lie. His family occupied a large area, with three buildings in three directions, and there were many pavilions. Sun Nan couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw it. Zhou Feng is so rich.

Zhou Feng had sent someone back home to report the news, and hundreds of swordsmen fell under the backyard wall.

Zhou Feng led Sun Nan all the way through the courtyard, into the back courtyard, and opened the door of the warehouse where the belongings were stored. Sun Nan took a closer look and was immediately dazzled by the large amount of treasures in the warehouse.

"Ming Ting, please..." Zhou Feng only invited Sun Nan and a few personal guards to enter, but the rest were all blocked out.

Sun Nan could understand this. After all, it was an important place to store belongings. How could people enter it casually. If someone had dirty hands and feet, and his face was not good-looking, he didn't say anything.

Zhou Feng took Sun Nan to visit, and his subordinates took advantage of the mechanism to go to the gate of the treasury.

Hearing the noise from behind, Sun Nan looked back, faintly sensed that something was wrong, and was about to ask why the door was closed, when he suddenly felt a wind in the back of his head. Years of experience in bloody fighting made him subconsciously dodge sideways, but in the end he was still a step too slow, and the sharp blade slashed across his neck On the side, blood gushes out.

Sun Nan firmly pressed the wound with his left hand, backed up again and again, looked at Zhou Feng who was holding a knife and grinning at him in disbelief, and yelled, "You bastard! How dare you devour the Lord?!"

Zhou Feng sneered and mocked: "A mere soldier like you is worthy of being my master? I have already joined General Annan's command. Your head and this Yichun city are my great gifts to General Annan."

"Dog thief! How dare you bully me! Even if you die today, I will hold you back!" Sun Nan realized that he had been played by the other party between the applause from the beginning to the end, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he looked at him desperately. Follow Zhou Feng to kill.

Because of intentional calculations and unintentional calculations, Sun Nan's left and right guards were all killed in just a short while, and there were fierce fighting sounds outside.Now that the overall situation has been decided, Zhou Feng will naturally not be in danger himself. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to surround and kill Sun Nan.

Although Sun Nan was extremely brave, his neck was severely injured, he lost a lot of blood, and his combat power was not strong. Facing the siege from all directions, he soon fell into a pool of blood, but even if he died, his eyes were still dead Staring at Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng didn't like it, so he asked his subordinates to poke his eyes blind, cut off his head, and take it outside to show the public. Those who don't surrender will be guilty of the same crime as Sun Nan!

Sun Nan Quben was attacked by a sneak attack, and suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that Sun Nan was dead and his fighting spirit was gone, they all knelt down and surrendered. Only a few loyal men tried to regain Sun Nan's head, but they were outnumbered and their blood spattered on the spot.

Then Zhou Feng led the crowd to the north gate without stopping. The guards in charge of guarding the gate thought they were reinforcements sent by Sun Nan, so they had no defense against them.

After Zhou Feng approached, he held up Sun Nan's head and shouted: "Sun Nan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" He led the crowd to kill and disperse the defenders, and opened the city gate.

At this time, Liu Liang and his cavalry had just arrived. They were still on the north bank of the South River, facing Yichun across the river. Suddenly, they saw the north gate of Yichun open, and a group of people came out from the city gate to meet the roadside.

Liu Liang raised his eyebrows, guessing in his heart whether the other party really wanted to surrender, or whether he was deliberately leading him across the river in order to ambush him...

But soon he dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart, and gave an order to ride across the river. He has thousands of fine riders to rely on, so why should he be afraid of the other party's conspiracy.

"Boom... boom..."

The sound of horseshoes shook the mountains, dust billowed up, and thousands of cavalry galloped towards them, including Zhou Feng, all of them were shocked.

There have always been few horses in Jiangnan, and there is almost no organized cavalry army. It is the first time to see thousands of cavalry charging, and one can imagine the shock in my heart.

At this time, Liu Liang had already made sure that the opponent was not cheating, otherwise he would be only a few dozen steps away from the city gate, and the opponent would not be able to stop his charge at all, and would be able to charge directly into the city in one breath.
