The big man is on the run

Chapter 188

The Hebei Plain in autumn has beautiful scenery, and the sun in the sky is like a burning flame, reflecting half of the sky red.

"Hoo hoo."

Carts were parked outside Zhending City. Thousands of civilians were carrying supplies. They unloaded the supplies from the carts. The respective captains led the soldiers to escort the supplies back to different camps.

The army's actions were very fast. In less than a stick of incense, the various materials brought in were distributed. Immediately, the accompanying cavalry mounted their horses and galloped westward.

Standing at the top of the city, looking at the densely packed army below, Zhending county magistrate Zhao Cheng not only sighed deeply.

"County Honor!"

At this moment, a soldier came to Zhao Cheng's side and said respectfully: "On the order of the school captain, I came here to ask the county magistrate if it is necessary to block the city gate and strengthen the defense to the west?"

Zhending City is not far from Jingxingkou, and Yuan Shao also stationed thousands of people in Zhending after an emergency call. Although the war in Changshan County has been in a rotten stage during this period, Changshan County is after all a barrier in the west of Jizhou. There are tens of thousands of people in Changshan County. If Yuan Shao defends Changshan County with all his strength, he can resist the army.

It's a pity that there is no accurate statement until now. Zhao Chengcheng really doesn't have the confidence to resist for a long time with this little reinforcement.

"What about the other cities in Changshan County?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"The southern part of Changshan County has not yet been attacked by the official army. There are only a small group of official troops wandering in the southern part of Changshan County. No official battle has been launched. The main force of the official army is still on both sides of the Hutuo River." The soldier said.

Zhao Cheng nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't block the city gate, continue to observe, if there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"

"Here!"

Zhao Cheng glanced at Lie Sun in the west, and couldn't help sighing. In his heart, he was still a little worried that the officers and soldiers would bypass Zhending and other cities and raid Yuan Shaojun's supply line on the east side of Changshan County.

Zhao Chengfu smiled wryly again, but he was worrying for nothing, so he should worry more about himself, he couldn't say how many days he could defend, maybe the officers and soldiers broke the city in one day, so it didn't matter whether they bypassed it or not.

But the official army hadn't attacked the city yet, and the official army didn't know how much they valued Zhending, so Zhao Cheng inevitably had a fluke mentality.

Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes became firm.

"No matter what, you have to resist!"

Zhao Cheng didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately summoned the officials under his command and the lieutenant colonel to discuss the matter.

"Xianzun, what do you want us to do?"

Zhao Cheng looked around at everyone in Zhending City, and then asked straight to the point: "Everyone, how should we deal with the officers and soldiers now?"

"This"

All the people present fell into silence after hearing the words.

Today, Yuan Shao's main forces are concentrated in the northern part of Jizhou and the southern part of Youzhou. Most of them here are non-directed descendants of Yuan Shao. If the city is lost, they will have no way out and surrender.But if they didn't defend and surrendered directly to the officers and soldiers, they would not be reconciled, fearing that Yuan Shao would come back and settle accounts with them.

Therefore, most people still plan to defend and try. In case the officers and soldiers don't think it's good to fight, so they don't plan to continue to attack the city and choose to go around, don't they have to worry about Yuan Shao's reckoning, and don't have to worry about their lives?
"Why not. Let's ask Yecheng and Jixian for help first, and see if the reinforcements can arrive. After all, the official army has already occupied half of Changshan County. They certainly don't want Zhending City to be lost, right?" A small official thought for a while. , said hastily.

Zhao Cheng nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"Yeah!" Zhao Cheng agreed, "Okay, let's do it like this."

But they didn't know that there was already a force in Zhending City who was preparing to cut off their heads and present them to the emperor.

In Zhending City in the dark night, two or three hundred rangers were divided into groups and gathered at the agreed place.

"Zi Long!"

Xia Houlan, the leader of the rangers in Zhending City, couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "When will we do it?"

Looking at his friends from the same village, Zhao Yun tightened his grip on the big gun wrapped in black cloth, and said in a low voice, "Let's start now!"

"it is good!"

Xia Houlan's eyes lit up immediately when she heard the words, and she quickly called a group of subordinates, and ordered: "Go and inform everyone, and start to act now. Remember, after you do it, you must take the city in the shortest time. If you can't take the city, then We're all going to die!"

"Yes!"

The rangers responded one after another.

Immediately, a few clever people who ran fast and were familiar with the ground temporarily acted as messengers and dispersed one after another to deliver orders.

But this time, Zhao Yun did not follow Xiahou Lan to seize the city gate, but stayed in Zhending City and was responsible for directly capturing the official temple (the name of the county government in the Han Dynasty). After all, this time was a large-scale operation. With strong combat power, he took on the most difficult target as a matter of course.

With his subordinates and rangers, Zhao Yun walked through the alleys with a big gun in his hand, and slaughtered all the soldiers who were watching the night silently.

Soon, they came to the official temple in Zhending City.

This group of people also looked nervous. After all, what they received was the task of seizing the official temple, which was equivalent to killing officials and rebelling. Army to get in touch.

At this time, the lights in the official temple were brightly lit, and soldiers were patrolling the door one by one, and, judging from their expressions, they were all very tired.

Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed, and then he rushed over suddenly. Seeing someone killing him in the dark night, he instantly frightened all the patrolling soldiers around him. They were all startled and backed up one after another.

Zhao Yun waved the big gun in his hand, and with a flick of the gun, one of the patrolling soldiers was instantly lifted away. The soldier died before he even hit the ground.

Seeing this scene, the remaining patrol soldiers were frightened and kept running away in panic.

"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, don't stop me and ruin your own life!"

Zhao Yun yelled, and shot out, and another soldier was picked up by Zhao Yun.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the soldiers stopped running and turned around one by one, looking at Zhao Yun with fear in their eyes.

After hearing Zhao Yun's self-report, some people even gave up resistance.

Zhao Yun led people into the outer gate of the official temple.

"Which of you is the head of the official temple?" Zhao Yun strode up to a small official and asked sharply.

"What do you want to do?"

The little official looked at Zhao Yun with vigilance in his eyes.

"We are not thieves, we are officers and soldiers. Our mission is to protect the county lord. If you are sensible, let the county lord come to see me, otherwise, I will be rude!" Zhao Yun shouted coldly.

At this time, a group of soldiers rushed out from the inner gate.

"Is that Zhao Zilong in front of you?"

"Exactly!"

Zhao Yun replied boldly.

Hearing that it was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong in person, the remaining defenders in the official temple suddenly lost their fighting spirit. They all knew the shadow of the famous tree and Zhao Yun's prestige. Even if everyone's life was filled in, it might not be enough for Zhao Yun. Gun kills.

"Let Zhao Yun come in!"

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded in the lobby of the official temple, and then Zhao Cheng, with a gray beard, walked out of the lobby.

"See the county magistrate!"

Seeing this, several small officials of the government stepped forward to salute and shouted respectfully.

"Yeah!" Zhao Cheng nodded, then handed a piece of silk paper to Zhao Yun, and sighed: "Take my order and go, welcome the officers and soldiers into the city."
