Great Han Empire

Chapter 275 The situation changes suddenly
The soldiers of the Xiangyu Mountain Camp were furious.

It's fine if the military salary has not been paid for a long time, but now they don't even give them food. The bureaucrats in Jizhou Prefecture have gone too far.The "Xiaoying" incident has occurred in the barracks for three consecutive days. Soldiers have gathered around the barracks tent many times, demanding to enter the city to grab food.Zhang Xiao, the military commander, Lin Xun, Pan Ta and others urged Yan Liang to go to the city to ask for food several times.

Yan Liang refused to enter the city. He repeatedly explained to Zhang Xiao and others that Wang Fen was deliberately making things difficult. Even if he went in person or brought two thousand black leopards with him, Wang Fen would not give food. It was very simple. , He just wanted to harm me, to force me to lead people to break open the warehouse to grab food.

"Do you know the consequences of smashing open the granary without permission?" Yan Liang said expressionlessly, "According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the nine clans are to be punished. I want to live for a few more years, so I don't plan to go to the city to be fooled by Wang Fen." If you don't have any good ideas, please go back to your camp."

Lin Xun, Pan Ta and the others originally wanted to scold Yan Liang in order to provoke him, but seeing Yan Liang's angry and murderous look, they were a little afraid, and they dared not utter the words when they reached their mouths.

Zhang Xiao wanted to go to the government office to talk to Wang Fen, but he was chased by Wen Chou who heard the news and stopped him at the gate.Wen Chou persuaded him not to go, Wen Chou said: "We detained Xu You, Wang Fen must be very annoyed, if you go now, you will fall into the trap of yourself. If he puts you in prison under the pretext or beats you half to death, what shall we do?" Save you? Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Zhang Xiao was very moved. He said: "I am quite familiar with Lord Inspector Wang Fen. I will go to ask for mercy. Maybe he can give us a day's food for my sake, so that we can save us in an emergency. Now Lord Captain and Inspector The adults fell out, and the two refused to give in to each other. If this confrontation continues, the soldiers will suffer."

Yan Liang followed after him.He was very angry, pointed at Zhang Xiao and said sharply: "I think you don't want to live anymore, who told you to leave the camp without permission? If you dare to step out of the gate, I will kill you immediately."

Lin Xun and others saw that Yan Liang was determined not to enter the city, and the soldiers in the camp were bewitched by the Black Panther Yi Cong, and their anger had reached the limit of explosion. Today, not only will the soldiers collapse, but they may also attack the city out of control and cause riots.No one thought that the situation would be so bad.The four army commanders discussed in secret, and sent Liao Lei to the military market to report the crisis of the camp to the bitter chief, hoping to temporarily ease the extremely tense atmosphere with his help.

Liao Lei scolded Wang Fen severely, saying that Wang Fen is an idiot, there are many ways to lure Yan Liang into the city, why use this most stupid way.If this continues, Wang Fen will not only lose the morale of the army, but also be hated by the soldiers. Who else will obey the orders of the Jizhou government in the future?Of course, the bitter chieftain was afraid of accidents, so he hurriedly sent people into the city to contact Wang Fen.

If we want to achieve great things, we cannot do without the army.Although Wang Fen was very anxious, Yan Liang was not fooled, and refused to step out of the camp, which made Wang Fen helpless. He felt that Yan Liang was like a big turtle with its head shrunk, which made him unable to do anything.After he received the news from the bitter chieftain, he was also worried that the soldiers would be pushed into a hurry and cause disasters. In desperation, he ordered the grain depot to allocate a day's worth of grain to the Xiangyu Mountain camp to relieve the urgent need.

===================

He Feng brought more than a dozen attendants and swept into the camp like a whirlwind.

Liu Ming and Lu Xian read Yuan Shu's warrant one after another, and smiled at each other.Liu Ming casually threw the warrant on the table, and asked very dissatisfied: "Master Yuan said that Master Li plotted rebellion, what is the basis?"

He Feng just came to Changshui Camp, and he didn't know these army Sima well, just drank a few drinks together and didn't have any friendship, but he knew that Liu Ming had high martial arts skills, and he was an undeniable figure in Changshui Camp.Liu Ming's ability to sit in the position of Army Sima was achieved by using the saber in his hand on the Xiliang battlefield, so he has great prestige among the soldiers.If Lieutenant Changshui is not in the camp, he usually leads the army.

Seeing Liu Ming's unkind expression, He Feng muttered inwardly.If you can't convince Liu Ming today, you can't do anything.

He explained a little bit, and then said: "We are all subordinate officials. We have no right to intervene in many things. We can only obey. This is military law. The two adults should know better than me."

Liu Ming glanced at him, snorted coldly, and suddenly shot a murderous look in his eyes.He Feng was startled, and suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he and Yuan Shu imagined.These savages not only have brains, but also have a keen sense of smell, they are not blind obedient fools at all.Did Liu Ming hear something?
Both Liu Ming and Lu Xian didn't wear scarves today, and their hair was loosely scattered on both sides, which invisibly added to their violent aura.Lu Xian stretched out his hand to comb the long hair that hung on his face, and said with a sneer, "Master Li fought bloody battles on the Xiliang battlefield three months ago. Turned into rebellion?" Lu Xian immediately picked up Yuan Shu's warrant on the case table, shook it twice in the air, and said disdainfully, "Based on these few words, you told us to kill Lord Li?"

Seeing Lu Xian's arrogance, He Feng couldn't help being angry, his eyes widened immediately, he tried his best to lower his voice, and said with a fake smile: "Master Lu is going to disobey orders?"

"If Master Yuan told me to kill you, should I kill you too?" Lu Xian said coldly, "What crime did the black panther's accomplices commit? Why did they rebel? Why should we believe your words and lead people to kill them?" ?”

"Master Lu, as you are now, it is a capital offense to openly disobey the military order, you know?" He Feng threatened, "I think you are tired of life."

Lu Xian was furious, he smashed the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground with all his strength, and shouted: "I am disobedient, you come and kill me!"

He Feng is usually used to being majestic, and he doesn't speak properly. When he was called by Lu Xian, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the two sitting opposite him were military Sima, not his own subordinates.He realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and made the atmosphere tense all of a sudden, but it was impossible to restore it.If the things outside the city cannot be resolved, then the things inside the city... He Feng didn't dare to think about it, and was at a loss for a while.

He glared angrily at Lu Xian, who had cleft fingers and canthus, and tried his best to calm himself down.He never expected that a planned event would completely change the direction of development within a few words, and he was so anxious that he almost went crazy.At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was a fatal mistake for him to break into the camp rashly.He was not familiar with the two big men on the opposite side, but he could guess from their words just now that they were on Li Hong's side. They turned a blind eye to Yuan Shu's warrant, and there was no such person as Yuan Shu in their eyes.

The general, the staff of the general's mansion, Yuan Shu, almost everyone started from their own point of view, they were all self-righteous, and they all thought that Changshuiying was loyal to them, but they were all wrong.After the Changshui Camp returned from the Xiliang battlefield, the Hu soldiers in the Changshui Camp were full of gratitude and admiration to Li Hong. It was Li Hong who rescued them when they were about to be destroyed. The Fengyun cavalry dominated by soldiers defeated the Xiliang rebels.Among the generals of the Han Dynasty, who treats the soldiers of the Hu nationality as their own brothers?Who pays Hu soldiers salaries and pensions?Who gave Hu soldiers the same glory as heroes?Except for Li Hong, there was no one else.Although the Hu people were barbaric and ignorant, they believed in good men and worshiped heroes. In their minds, Li Hong was a good man and a hero. They could follow Li Hong unconditionally and obligedly.

The more He Feng thought about it, the colder he felt, the heat all over his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and cold sweat broke out quietly.

He Feng couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up abruptly, tried to be calm, pointed to Liu Ming and Lu Xian and said, "Okay, since the two adults disobeyed the military order, I have no choice but to go back to the city and report the truth to Lord Yuan. My lord, please do it yourself."

Liu Ming stood up slowly, looked at He Feng coldly, and said word by word: "Crazy He, do you think this is Luoyang? Do you think you can leave if you want?"

He Feng was taken aback, and then his anger surged up, and his face changed suddenly.He was a person who was not afraid of anything, but Liu Ming's threat aroused his fighting spirit and ferocity.He Feng opened his eyes angrily, and shouted loudly: "I can leave as soon as I want, who dares to stop me?"

He turned around and strode towards the curtain.

Liu Ming looked at He Feng's back, the muscles on his face twitched nervously, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he slowly drew out his saber.

Liu Ming exhaled, and suddenly roared, "Stop!"

He Feng stopped, turned his head and glanced at Liu Ming, then let out a sneer of disdain from his nose, he spat on the ground fiercely, and shouted arrogantly: "Bah! Hu Manzi, what can you do to me? Sample?"

Holding the knife in both hands, Liu Ming yelled: "You are looking for death..." Before he finished speaking, his figure exploded, and his huge body suddenly shot towards He Feng like a long arrow that left the string.

"Kill..." Without fear, He Feng suddenly drew his sword and turned around, and rushed to meet him, "Kill..."

"When..." The two knives clashed, and there was a loud noise.

Liu Ming was tall and strong, and he chopped down with a thunderous force, domineering and fierce.He Feng only felt a huge shock in the tiger's mouth, half of his arm was in unbearable pain, the saber in his hand almost fell to the ground, He Feng was terrified, and retreated three steps in a row.

When Liu Ming gained power, he rushed forward, swung his knife and slashed again, "I'll kill you alive!"

He Feng was so angry that he was about to burst into tears, so he had no choice but to take another step back.He put the saber in his left hand, opened his mouth and shouted wildly: "Manzi, I will fight with you!" Immediately after he became mad, he ignored the defense and attacked bravely, and the sound of shouting was endless.

The two clashed fiercely, with swords coming and going, fierce and tragic.

Lu Xian sat on the table and said with a leisurely smile: "Crazy He, don't you claim that you are the number one swordsman in Luoyang? Kill, kill if you have the ability, I want to see how many moves you can resist today?"

He Feng forced Liu Ming back with a knife, and was about to retort and scold Lu Xian, when he saw Liu Ming bounce back, the saber in his hand was violently blown by wind and thunder, and immediately caught him in the stormy sea.He Feng resisted desperately, but he still felt like a piece of rotten wood on the top of the waves, which might be torn to pieces at any time.He is struggling, trying to find a chance to survive.

Lu Xian pointed at He Feng and scolded: "In Luoyang, you are a dog, do evil, bully men and women, act recklessly, do all kinds of evil, what do you think you are, but a dog of the general's mansion."

The more he cursed, the angrier he got, he suddenly jumped up from the seat, kicked the desk in front of him, and roared loudly: "Tie Le Mingqiaoer, kill him..."

(Tie Le Ming Qiaoer is Liu Ming's Huns name.)
He Feng suddenly saw a case whistling in the air, and he was startled. He hurriedly drew back, exhausted all his strength, and chopped the case into pieces with a single knife.Liu Ming took the opportunity to fly up and chopped off with a single knife in the air.He Feng couldn't dodge in time, so he had to seal the frame again.

"When..." Jin Tiejiao cried.He Feng's saber was broken at the waist, and Liu Ming landed steadily. At this short moment, Liu Ming suddenly punched out like lightning.He Feng screamed, opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time his tall body flew upside down, rushing out of the big tent.

The guards who had been waiting outside the door rushed forward, punching and kicking.He Feng is extremely strong, although his mouth and nose are bleeding, his hair is disheveled, and he looks crazy, but he still supports himself strongly and fights fiercely, with the intention of never ending death.

Liu Ming raised the saber upside down, rushed out of the big tent, kicked the exhausted He Feng to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Tie up and hang me to the gate."

The guards immediately tied up He Feng tightly.He Feng was unafraid and cursed loudly.A Karasuma soldier thought he was noisy, so he grabbed a handful of grass from the ground and blocked his mouth.

Lu Xian walked out of the big tent with his hands behind his back, looked at He Feng who was in a state of embarrassment, and said with a sneer, "The first knife in Luoyang? Huh, I thought it was some kind of knife, but it turned out to be nothing more than a pig-killing knife. Drag it away and hang it up!"

====================
I don't know if He Feng was too arrogant in Luoyang or if he offended too many people. While cursing, more than a dozen guards in Changshuiying beat him up, and then hung him head to foot on the gate.A dozen attendants who came with him were also tied to the wooden fence near the gate.

He Feng was beaten until his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his body was covered with bruises, and he suffered a lot. Just when he was dizzy, he saw a smiling face, which was Li Wei.

Li Wei took out weeds from his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Crazy He, I'll let you down, don't you want to beat people wildly."

He Feng thought to himself that I was going to die, so I didn't have the energy to beat people.He Feng closed his eyes and nodded repeatedly.Li Wei then ordered the guarding soldiers to untie the rope.He Feng lay limply on the ground, powerless.

After a while, he opened his eyes and saw Xie Ming, Chen Hao, Yin Si, and Tang Yun surrounding him, whispering to each other.

He Feng was furious, and scolded: "What are you looking at? Isn't I just in trouble, what's there to see?"

Several people around laughed.Chen Hao walked up to him, and said with a smile: "Kangfengke, if you spread to Luoyang today, will you still have the face to face people?"

He Feng glared at him, and said, "I've been humiliated too often, and I don't care about doing it one more time, but this time it's too unfair to be beaten like this by my own people." He turned to look at Li Wei and shouted , "Li Zhongyuan, let me go soon. I want to go back to the city and sue Master Yuan. These savages dared to beat me. I think they don't want to live anymore. I must avenge this revenge. You let me go soon." .”

"Let you go? Crazy man, go dreaming." Chen Hao scolded, "I still want to kill you? Tell me, why did you let Changshuiying attack us in the middle of the night?"

He Feng's face changed, knowing that today's affairs are completely over.Changshuiying not only refused to listen to Yuan Shu, but also colluded with the Black Panther Yi Congjun to deal with Yuan Shu.How could this be?What method did Li Hong use to make even people like Liu Ming and Lu Xian bow to him?

Li Wei smiled slightly, and said, "Crazy He, I can let you go, as long as you tell the truth when and where you and Yuan Shu plan to rob and kill Master Li."

He Feng didn't say anything, but he cursed bitterly: "If Li Hong hadn't changed his itinerary suddenly and was in a hurry to go to Hejian Kingdom, you would definitely not survive tomorrow."

"We won't go to Hejian Kingdom at all." Li Wei laughed. "We've settled for you, and we'll return to Ye City tomorrow. My lord said that, but I just wanted to make you jump over the wall in a hurry, and then do it in advance."

He Feng was obviously surprised, he asked loudly: "How do you know we are going to kill Li Hong?"

Li Wei smiled without saying a word.

"Chen Dafu, what is the relationship between that Hun and you?" Seeing that Li Wei ignored him, He Feng turned around and asked Chen Hao again.

He wanted to know the answer so badly.Before leaving Luoyang, the general personally entertained them with a banquet at the general's mansion, and gave each of the military Sima a sum of money and two beauties. At that time, all the five military Sima expressed their gratitude to the general loyalty.When they arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shu gave them another sum of money. These people were very happy, and they all swore that they would resolutely follow Yuan Shu and have no second thoughts.It's only been a few days, and it will change immediately.

"Haha..." Chen Hao laughed, pointing at He Feng and said, "You idiots are too contemptuous of people. Do you think that Ming Qiao'er is a Hun, so there is no one to support him? Tell you, Ming Qiao'er is My teacher's disciple."

He Feng was stunned.It is inconceivable that a Hun would be Zhu Jun's disciple.

"You don't check it out, and you want to kill Master Li casually. I think you and Yuan Gonglu are really crazy." Chen Hao continued to tease, "Master Li already knew about your conspiracy before he left Luoyang. A group of You idiots, Mr. Li's knife is already on your necks, it's ridiculous that you are still shouting: 'I want to kill, I want to kill.' Haha..."

Chen Hao's strong Yizhou accent and his dancing posture made the people around him burst into laughter.

He Feng's face suddenly turned ashen, and his heart was extremely desperate.What is it all about, my group of people are there every day, planning how to kill Li Hong in fear, but they don't expect that all of this is under Li Hong's control from the beginning to the end.

"He madman, it doesn't matter if you don't say how to kill Mr. Li, anyway, we will go to the city to arrest people soon." Li Wei smiled, "If you want to survive, then you can talk about Wang Fen, he wants What are you doing? lest the adults get angry and kill you when they come back."

He Feng was so disheartened that he didn't even open his eyes lazily, let alone talk.

"My lord, let's hang him up," said the guard in charge.
"Forget it, forget it. Although Crazy He is domineering and domineering in Luoyang, he is a good person and has done a lot of chivalrous things. Let's lock him up." Li Wei said with a smile, "The matter on Yongping Street, He helped too, and I have to thank him."

===================

It was getting dark, Xindu ordered Tian Feng to host a banquet in the government office for Li Hong and Yuan Shu and his party, and the scene was very lively.

Holding Tian Feng's warrant, Song Wen rushed to the north gate of Xindu City with a dozen government guards.The city gate was opened immediately, and Song Wen ordered three guards to stand under the city gate with torches each.

Not long after, Jiang Wu and Liu Ming quietly appeared in the dark night outside the city with a thousand cavalry.

"Who is Master Jiang?" Song Wen asked loudly as he stepped up to the cavalry.

"My official is Jiang Wu." Jiang Wu lightly kicked the horse's belly and rode out, "My lord is..."

"This is Song Wen, under the order of Lord Li, to wait for Lord Jiang here." Song Wen said while handing over the warrant stamped with Li Hong's seal.

"It's you?" Jiang Wu reached out to take the warrant, and said with a smile, "So it was you. You hid in Xindu City."

Song Wen smiled and bowed his hands in salute.

"What can your lord say?" Jiang Wu asked eagerly, "Is your lord safe now?"

"Master Li is currently in the government office, where the guards are tight, so nothing will happen." Song Wen said, "Yuan Shu is going to ambush Master Li at the west gate, and his soldiers are currently lurking in a courtyard near the west gate, and have not yet entered the streets. , Now is the best time to catch them all.”

Jiang Wu nodded.He glanced at Li Hong's warrant, glanced at Song Wen in surprise, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency has an order. Mr. Song will direct the matter tonight. Please give Mr. Song orders."

Song Wen seemed to know about this in advance, he bowed his hands humbly, and said with a smile: "I also ask you to cooperate with me."

"Thinking." Jiang Wu turned around and shouted to Liu Ming behind him, "Come here. This is Mr. Song Wensong, and he will direct the matter tonight." Liu Ming glanced at Song Wen in amazement, and immediately bowed. Sincerely.

"Yuan Shu's [-] soldiers are basically cavalry from the Changshui Camp." Song Wen laughed, "After Master Liu led his troops to surround the courtyard, as long as he stood at the door and shouted a few times, he would probably be fine."

"Master Jiang brings 200 people and follow me to catch Zhou Jing. This person is very important. He is Wang Fen's confidant. If he is caught, Wang Fen's affairs will basically be clear."
