Great Han Empire

Chapter 276 The situation changes suddenly
Jiang Wu rushed into the post with the soldiers.

Although there were more than a dozen guards in the posthouse, no one dared to move in the face of the strong bows drawn one after another, and the shining swords. They dropped their weapons one after another and tied their hands.

Under the auspices of several soldiers, Zhou Jing was brought before Jiang Wu.Zhou Jing was quite calm, with a calm demeanor and no fear.

Jiang Wu didn't even look at him, she waved and said, "It's tied."

"Slow, slow, slow..." Song Wen yelled loudly and ran over quickly, "Master Jiang, don't be reckless, don't be reckless."

Song Wen walked up to Zhou Jing, gave a deep salute, and said with a smile, "Mr. is the favorite student of Mr. Chen Shi, Mr. Chen Yingchuan. His virtuous name spreads far and wide. Why do you want to do such a rebellious and troublesome thing?"

Zhou Jing said with a smile: "Li Hong is the one who rebelled, and Li Hong is the one who caused trouble, so why am I the only one to blame?"

Song Wen shook his head and persuaded: "Mr. knows what Wang Fen is going to do, and Master Li also knows, otherwise we would not arrest you today." He carefully looked at the expression on Zhou Jing's face and continued, "Mr. The original intention is to punish traitors, clean up the filth, and restore the big man to a bright future, not to hijack the emperor and do such a treasonous thing that disrupts the country."

Zhou Jing was shocked when he heard the words, a look of fear instantly appeared on his chubby face, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.How could Li Hong know about this?If Li Hong knew about it, would His Majesty know about it too?Zhou Jing suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

The expression on Zhou Jing's face did not escape Song Wen's eyes at all. He secretly sneered, and then said: "Mr. listened to the slander, but Xiangkai..."

When Zhou Jing heard Xiang Kai's name, his heart jumped suddenly. He could no longer control his emotions, and his eyes suddenly opened wide, showing great shock and fear.They even knew about Xiang Kai, let alone about Wang Fen.Zhou Jing's confidence was instantly shaken.

Song Wen was overjoyed.Master Li guessed right, this alchemist Xiangkai really participated in Wang Fen's scheme.Song Wen stared at Zhou Jing, and continued word by word, "Mr. was used by Xiang Kai, Wang Fen and other gangsters to go astray. Don't you think that once this matter is exposed, the nine clans will be killed?" If you don't say it, will you still harm the teacher's family and be cast aside by the world?"

Zhou Jing's face became more and more ugly.

"Mr.'s nine clans were condemned, which should be taken for granted, but Mr.'s teacher was innocently implicated, and Mr. Chen's teacher, Mr. Chen, was innocently ruined. Isn't Mr. guilty?" Song Wen said slowly, "Mr. Chen He is old and time is running out, do you have the heart to let him suffer such a blow in his twilight years?"

Zhou Jing bowed his head and was speechless, with a miserable expression. He stood there as if he was in a daze. His face was full of remorse and frustration, and he was no longer calm and calm as before.

Zhou Jing's teacher, Chen Shi, was from Xu County, Yingchuan. He was respected by the world for his fame and virtue, and he was well known all over the world.He remembered that the teacher was already 84 years old this year, but he still had to be implicated and suffered innocent disasters because of his sins. He couldn't help but feel guilty and sighed.

Seeing Zhou Jing's annoyed look, Song Wen was secretly happy. He stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "Master Li has already said that, as long as you are willing to tell your plan, Lord Li guarantees that you will not be harmed."

Zhou Jing looked at Song Wen in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How do you guarantee it?"

"Master Li said that Mister hid under his tent to avoid the limelight temporarily. After the matter calms down, as long as Mister encounters an amnesty, he will naturally be free." Song Wen laughed, "What do you think, Mister?"

====================
Yuan Shu was very excited today, and he told several anecdotes in succession.Li Hong listened with great interest and kept urging him to tell another one.Tian Feng and the government bureaucrats who accompanied him, as well as Zhao Yun and Pang De booed again and again, and the room was full of laughter.

At this moment, there was a sound of scolding outside the house, followed by the sound of swords and guns clashing, and the sound of killing, all in a mess.

The people in the house were in shock.Zhao Yun and Pound jumped up, guarding Li Hong.At the same time, the door was pushed open, and the tall and mighty Liu Ming appeared at the door.

Yuan Shu looked at it in disbelief, doubts in his heart.How did he appear in the city?The Black Panther Yicong outside the city was solved so quickly?Didn't you agree to do it in the middle of the night?Before he could ask, Jiang Wu appeared.Yuan Shu was startled suddenly, and his body shrank back involuntarily.How could this be?How did these two people run together?Why did they appear in the city at the same time?
Liu Ming and Jiang Wu faced Li Hong and bowed in salute.

"Report to my lord, He Feng and Zhou Jing have been captured by us, and the Changshui camp soldiers who ambushed at the west gate have also returned to the team." Jiang Wu said loudly, "The only one left is Yuan Shu, who committed chaos and planned evil."

"Thanks for your hard work." Li Hong said with a smile, "The two adults should step back first."

Yuan Shu was startled and frightened, his face was horrified, and his short eyebrows were tightly knit together.He was completely confused, he didn't know how things suddenly turned out like this?Yuan Shu grabbed his beard with his right hand, and put his left hand on the hilt of his waist. His nervous heart was about to jump out. He looked at the smiling Li Hong, as if he had seen a ghost, and he was so frightened that he almost suffocated.

"Brother Lu, do you want me to explain?"

Yuan Shu opened his mouth slightly, murmured, but did not speak.

"Grab it!"

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

Li Hong kindly invited Song Wen to serve in the army.

"The matter of Wang Fen's rebellion and rebellion will be clear immediately, and those who deserve to be arrested will be arrested. Mr. Jiang's grievances will naturally be cleared." Li Hong said with a smile, "Brother Changfeng has avenged his revenge, and his wish has been fulfilled." I see you have nowhere to go, why don't you follow me to Xiliang?"

Song Wen hesitated and looked at Tian Feng.Tian Feng said: "Changfeng, you blocked the road in Yecheng and wronged you, which caused Wang Fen's treachery to be exposed. You have long been a thorn in the side of Wang Fen and others. Although Wang Fen is about to be punished, many people who follow him may not be able to catch them all, so in the near future You are very dangerous in Jizhou. From my point of view, since Mr. Li values ​​you so much, you should go. Now that the barbarians are fighting at the border, and the war is imminent, Mr. Li may go to the border to lead the battle at any time. This is a good opportunity to serve the country Ah, how can I miss it?"

Song Wen thought over and over again, but still hesitated.

"Don't worry about your parents, and don't worry about Mr. Jiang's family, I will arrange it properly." Tian Feng said with a smile, "You and my friend for many years, don't you still trust me?"

Song Wen bowed to thank him movedly, "I'll leave everything to Brother Fu Hao."

Tian Feng patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I'm leaving today, I don't know when I'll see you again, take care of yourself."

Li Hong came over and bowed respectfully to Tian Feng, "Thank you for your great help regarding Xindu."

"My lord is too modest." Tian Feng hurriedly replied, "My lord has planned a strategy and made a plan long ago. I just happened to meet him at the right time. I'm ashamed, ashamed."

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

Li Hong hurried back to the camp and called Zhao Yun, Jiang Wu and Liu Ming.

"Take two thousand cavalry, each with two horses, and rush back to Yecheng overnight." Li Hong ordered, "Don't stop on the road, and rush back to Xiangyu Mountain in one breath."

The three of Zhao Yun bowed to accept the order.Jiang Wu and Liu Mingfei rushed out of the big tent and assembled the team.

"My lord, is there something wrong with the tiger's head?" Zhao Yun hesitated for a while and asked worriedly.

"Zhou Jing said that as soon as Wang Fen receives news of him, he will immediately trap and kill Yan Liang." Li Hong frowned and said, "As for the method, he doesn't know, but there are hundreds of people from Beijiang and Dazhitang in the city. These people's fighting power is very strong, Zhou Jing said, they can at least match our two thousand black panther followers."

"Really?" Zhao Yun said with a smile, "Isn't this too mysterious?"

"Don't be careless." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "When I returned to Hanyang from Jincheng last year, Master Fan escorted me with his disciples. I don't think any of those people's martial arts is worse than Ling Ming." Li Hong looked at Zhao Yun and asked He asked, "How many righteous soldiers can Pang Lingming deal with by himself?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "A dozen or so."

"What about the hundreds of Pounds?" Li Hong asked rhetorically, "If our cavalry get stuck in the streets, the situation will be very bad."

Zhao Yun said with a face full of disdain: "My lord, there can't be hundreds of Pounds. My lord is too worried."

Li Hong gave him a hard look, and said loudly: "You guys, especially Black Panther Yicong, have won many battles, and none of them are arrogant and conceited. How do you know that other people's strength is worse than ours? ?”

Zhao Yun didn't make a sound, and nodded respectfully to be taught, but his eyes were full of contempt.

"According to Zhou Jing, before we left Xiangyu Mountain, Wang Fen had already decided to kill us." Li Hong said, "It seems that although the tiger head drove Wang Fen into a hurry, he himself fell into Wang Fen's trap." Fern's trap."

"My lord, nothing will happen to Tiger Head?" Zhao Yun asked.

"It's hard to say, as long as the opportunity is good, Wang Fen will strike ahead." Li Hong said worriedly, "After all, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army is hidden in the military market, which has a great restraint effect on the tiger's head. If Wang Fen pushes too hard, If the tiger head is not handled properly, it will lose sight of the other and fall into crisis."

Outside the big tent, horns and war drums sounded loudly, and the passionate and violent sound immediately tore the silence of the night, echoing in the cold and desolate night sky.

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

The drums of the Xiangyu Mountain camp were thunderous, and the shouts were earth-shattering and deafening.

Soldiers, led by the officers of various tribes, gathered in formation, ready to rush to Yecheng to grab food.

In the big tent, Zhang Xiao was excited, and he was trying to persuade Lin Xun, Pan Ta and others not to be impulsive, so as not to make things worse, because the emperor is about to leave from Luoyang.

"I don't have any food to eat, and what kind of protection is there to protect the emperor, it's bullshit." Liao Lei gritted his teeth and cursed loudly, "Zhang Bochou, tell the captain to come out, if he doesn't lead us, we will go by ourselves Now, if we want to kill or cut into pieces in the future, that's all our business, and has nothing to do with Captain Captain."

"Why doesn't the captain come out?" Panta shouted at the side tent, "What kind of distinguished guest has come to the city, it's so important."

"If Mr. Yan doesn't come out again, we will leave." Lin Xun also shouted.

"Stop arguing." Ding Bo waved his hands and shouted, "pass down the order and order all the troops to go out of the camp one by one and prepare to march to Yecheng. Today, regardless of whether the captain agrees or not, we have to go to Yecheng, otherwise, at night We're going to eat grass."

======================
In the side tent, Yan Liang held a roll of documents in his hand, looked at Tao Gao, and asked, "When did Lord Hou arrive in Yecheng?"

"I arrived yesterday evening." Tao Gao said, "Master Hou was ordered to go to Jizhou first. Lord Hou is anxious to see you. He wants to know how the army in Jizhou is doing."

Yan Liang sneered, he threw the paperwork in his hand on the desk, and joked: "The soldiers are starving to death, why are you practicing? You go back and tell Lord Hou that I, Yan Liang, have fainted from hunger, and now I don't know what to do. "

"Your Excellency, calm down." Tao Gao smiled, "Master Hou personally sent a post to invite Your Excellency to go to the government office to discuss important matters. Wouldn't it be too impolite for Your Excellency not to go? Moreover, if Your Excellency delays His Majesty's important event of returning home to worship ancestors, My lord's head..."

Yan Liang chuckled, looked at Tao Gao with sharp and cold eyes, as if trying to see through his mind.

Tao Gao was in his 30s, of medium build, handsome, well-mannered, and quite delicate in speech.He was startled by Yan Liang's eyes, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and said: "A few days ago, my lord brought his subordinates to smash the mansion, and then detained Xu You, who was working in the mansion. My lord should know that these things are all illegal."

Yan Liang's eyes widened suddenly, and murderous aura spewed out immediately.Wen Chou on the side also snorted very dissatisfied.

Tao Gao's face was startled, and he hurriedly continued: "For the sake of the overall situation, Mr. Wang has not mentioned these matters to Lord Hou. He has done his utmost to benevolent and righteous. Please, Mr. Captain, understand our difficulties..."

Yan Liang patted the table impatiently, and said, "He doesn't even give us food, how do you ask me to understand him?"

"The grain will be delivered right away." Tao Gao said, "When I left the city, my lord had already ordered the granary to release grain, and it is estimated that it will be delivered by noon."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other, dubious.At this time, Panta was yelling and cursing in the big tent again.

"Your Excellency, let's go out to comfort your subordinates." Tao Gao smiled, "Your Majesty has already arrived, and in three days, His Majesty will leave from Luoyang, I think, Your Excellency should calm down and stop making trouble. "

"What about the military salary?" Wen Chou asked, "When will the military salary be paid?"

"Tomorrow, the military salary will be allocated tomorrow." Tao Gao immediately replied, "Bohai County has sent taxes, and the state capital is already rich."

Yan Liang hesitated for a while, then said: "Okay then, I'll go to the city immediately to see Lord Hou."

Tao Gao was overjoyed, stood up and said, "My lord, I will leave now. I wonder if my lord can let lord Xu You Xu go?"

"I haven't seen the grain or the money, how can you tell me to believe you?" Yan Liang sneered, "Go back to the city alone. As soon as the grain arrives in Daying, I will release Lord Xu immediately."

Tao Gao smiled awkwardly, and bowed to leave.

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

Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other speechlessly.

"It's really not the right time for Bi Lan to come here." Yan Liang stood up slowly, shaking his head and said, "Now we know that this is a trap, but we have no choice but to jump in. Wang Fen, Wang Fen is very accurate in his calculations."

Wen Chou looked serious and lowered his head in thought.

"Instead of being beaten passively like this, it's better to take the initiative." Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou and said, "Wang Fen didn't know that we knew he was going to rebel, so after angering us, he suddenly promised to give us food and military pay. His purpose It's nothing more than trying to lure me into the city and appease the soldiers. The arrival of Lord Hou just provides him with an opportunity. Since you have to fight, let's fight to the death."

"This is what they arranged in advance." Wen Chou said in a low voice, "Look, today Lin Xun and others suddenly assembled a troop, formed a barracks, and surrounded our cavalry in the middle of the camp. We are about to react, Tao Gao came here with Lord Hou's handwriting, asking us to enter the city immediately. If you refused to enter the city just now, after Tao Gao leaves, Lin Xun and the others will definitely attack us."

"These bastards dare to treat us as idiots." Yan Liang smiled, "Your Majesty will leave Beijing in three days, Wang Fen must be in a hurry, he has to take action, if he doesn't take action, his treacherous plan will be destroyed." It has been affected. Zijun, can you agree with my method?"

Wen Chou hesitated and said: "When your lord left, he repeatedly told us to act accordingly. If the situation was critical, he asked us to break through first, so as not to suffer in vain." He looked at Yan Liang, and said worriedly, "If you follow your way Come on, if we are not careful, our entire army may be wiped out, this is too risky."

Yan Liang said confidently: "It's not that we don't know who Wang Fen has in his hands. His few troops are enough for us to kill. Zijun, are you going to do it or not?"

Wen Chou grinned suddenly and said, "Okay, it's up to you. Who are we brothers afraid of? Then I will take someone away first."

"Okay, be careful." Yan Liang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Remember, don't kill him, the adults said to live."

====================
Yan Liang strode into the big tent, raised his hand and shouted: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel."

Several army Sima rushed forward, shouting.

"My lord, we are going to enter Yecheng." Liao Lei shouted, "Would you like to go?"

"If your lord doesn't have the courage to go, we'll go by ourselves." Panta sneered, "Your lord is already a coward anyway."

"Who said that?" Yan Lianghu stared, and roared loudly, "Beat the drum, order the military marquises and commanders of each department to go to the big tent to discuss matters quickly, and those who do not come in violation of the order will be executed!"

"My lord, you are crazy. How dare you attack Yecheng. Do you know that this is a rebellion?" Zhang Xiao was shocked and tried his best to stop it.

Yan Liang glanced at him coldly, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and then waved to the attendant behind him, "Tie him up!"

Ding Bo shouted excitedly: "Okay, okay, your lord is indeed a man."

It didn't take long, and the military lords, fake military lords, fake military Sima, and military Sima of all tribes rushed to the tent one after another.

Yan Liang motioned for everyone to sit down.

Yan Liang stood in the middle of the big tent with his hands behind his back, looked around coldly, and said slowly: "My lords are all Yellow Turbans from Montenegro."

In the big tent, except for the officers of the Black Panther Rebel Army, everyone else was shocked.

Liao Lei, who was sitting next to Yan Liang, jumped up suddenly, and the saber in his hand was like lightning, and struck in the air.
