Chapter 66: The Great Battle of Chasing the Poor
In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), on the second day of November, it was five o'clock in the morning.
The battle started, and it took three hours to come to an end. The rebels suffered a great defeat, and the Wuzhou army went from south to north, and the Yangzhou army went from north to south, making the final conclusion. Those who resisted the stubbornly will be killed without any hesitation; those who surrendered will be temporarily detained; those who fled in panic will be chased by cavalry. However, there are many people who fled in chaos.
At the Sanhe Shu command platform, everyone was ecstatic and filled with joy everywhere. The overall situation finally settled, and the wife became a mother-in-law. Wu Kang took it calmly, lifted up the mask on his left face, scratched the wounds of harassment. During the morning battle, Glory was injured from the corner of his left eye to his chin, and was injured by a knife.
The murderous face was even more ferocious. Three-pointed person is not like a human, and seven-pointed person is more like a ghost. Because the wound cannot be seen, Cui Xiaoqing ordered Qian Shun to return to Wuzhou quickly, find Fang Xiangshi, who was the host of Nuo dance, and buy a copper mask.
If you press your face, the good guy is even more ferocious, it would be better not to wear it. Qian Shun was scolded by Xiaoqing and asked you to buy folk gods. You only buy the gods to drive away the epidemic, and you want to scare people to death? Qian Shun wants to cry, but it’s not that I don’t buy it, but that people don’t sell it, and selling the statue of the gods is unlucky.
Until the Shenshi period, the three armies shouted to vent their backlogs. The scholar sent a war report: the entire rebels were wiped out, and more than 10,000 bandit soldiers were captured, and the formation was in the statistics. Chu Shenke led the security team to the rebels' central tent, and captured Chen Shuzhen, Zhang Shuyin and other leaders, who were escorting here.
The command platform was cheering and thunderous, and the colleagues danced and cried. Cui Xiaoqing was even more happy. Chen Shuozhen in Muzhou rebelled on September 20th and pacified on November 2nd, which took 35 days. The rebels were wiped out in Wuzhou, and the Wuzhou officialdom ate meat, and Yangzhou reinforcements drank soup.
After more than a year of planning, it is worth it no matter how hard or tired he is. When the court rewards merits, there is hope for promotion to the governor and life is hopeful. The benefits of the mask are reflected, Wu Kang smiles and his brothers cannot see it, and he will successfully maintain the majesty of the leader.
Not long after, the prisoners were taken to the stage, with eight leaders in total. They were tied up in a large position, with disheveled hair, and were in a mess. Seven men cooperated very well, kneeling when they were asked, kowtow when they asked, kowtow when they asked, and kowtow when they asked, and raised their heads. A woman, who was extremely uncooperative, forced her kneeling position, forced her to kowtow, and forced her hair to raise her face.
Wu Kang hehe: "Chen Shuozhen, I haven't seen you for several months, and I am still so energetic! I am the winner, and I am the loser, and I kneel in front of me. This scene, I counted into my dreams and finally got what I want."
Chen Shuozhen struggled violently, and her hair was torn off several strands, and she felt pain from a distance.
Wu Kang continued to hehe: "Things in the world are wonderful. Maybe thousands of years later... You will become the leader of the rebel army who resisted evil politics and rose up, and will be remembered forever; I will become your background, and become the dirty official who bloody suppressed the rebel army, and will be infamous for thousands of years."
Chen Shuozhen's eyes were breathing fire, and Wu Kang was content with satisfaction: "But I don't care. I take responsibility for the past, so why do I make a comment? I only care about your head, how many levels can I get promoted to. I should thank you, thank your eight generations of ancestors. You gathered together to rebel, I will fight for ten years less, and take it seriously..."
"Mr. Wu is careful of his words." Di Renjie interrupted. The boss doesn't keep his mouth shut. Don't be proud of the disaster. Be careful of the disaster coming from his mouth. He coughed twice and suggested loudly: "Yangzhou is a guest army, and the governor is here. It's reasonable and we have to go and see him."
This makes sense. Wu Kang ordered Chu Shenke to detain the leader separately. Chen Shuozhen sent him to the central army tent and was guarding the heavy army outside. Don't make things difficult for her. Cui Xiaoqing pulled him aside and whispered: "The old and handsome uncle is very fierce, please be careful. Don't tell him that I'm in the military camp, otherwise you will be scolded?"
Wu Kang's Coke responded perfunctorily and asked the scholar to send her away. He greeted all the younger brothers, walked off the command platform, and went to the Yangzhou Central Army tent.
The soldiers were busy and cooperated with the auxiliary soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Looking around, dead bodies were piled up like mountains, wounded moaned and corpses were continuous. They raised their hands high, like walking corpses, and were beaten and kicked from time to time. They were deeply touched for a moment, and the general eventually became eternal and could not be said casually.
When he arrived at the Yangzhou military tent, Fang Renyu took the lead and waited outside the tent. Wu Kang quickly stepped forward, took off his mask and hung his belt, held his fists and bowed to the end, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Wuzhou is not a leader in Wukang, and lead all his colleagues in Wuzhou to meet the governor of Fang, Cui Zhechong, Qin Zhechong, and Zhao Zhechong."
Everyone was stunned when they saw his declining appearance. The blush robe was full of holes, and the belly was one foot, which represented the knife being hit. The already hideous face and the hideous wounds were simply unbearable. This civil servant was a fierce general.
Fang Renyu immediately decided to strangle his feet to death and think that my baby granddaughter was timid and must be scared to tears by him. He took two steps forward and personally helped him, laughed and said, "He is nine feet tall, heroic, powerful, and powerful, both civil and military. However, poetry and prose need to be improved. You can swallow Fusang, but you can't poke a toad."
My colleagues in Yangzhou burst into laughter, Wu Kang was very embarrassed, and the two poems of Zhang Dashuai were all passed to Yangzhou? This old guy, no matter which pot is open, he would change the topic and win the honor: "The Fang Gong was on his way to the expedition, and Wuzhou is very grateful. It is better to go to the city to rest, and prepare some tea and water to fulfill the friendship of the landlords."
Fang Renyu waved his hand and said, "The rebellion has been quelled. I can complete my mission and I can serve the saints. The army will rest on the spot. After visiting Mr. Cui, we will go back to Yangzhou. There is no need to entertain you. Go and do your job, Cui Zhechong will go too."
After a while of greetings, Fang Renyu issued an order to expel guests, and Wu Kang and Cui Xingfeng ran side by side. Cui Xingfeng first blamed himself, saying that he was slow in marching and could not come back early, which made his nephew suffer. Then he got to the point and asked only two things: Lao Cui's physical condition and why Xiao Cui was in the military camp?
It was hard to answer, so the first one was perfunctory and the second one was the truth. Cui Xingfeng laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "Jiu Niang is so kind, and she will be responsible for it. I will leave it to you here. I will go back to the city to visit my cousin and get together again if I have time."
Wu Kang saluted respectfully, greeted the commander of the left and right Guoyi, and sent them away respectfully. Generally speaking, civil officials and military general groups do not belong to each other. The governor can command militias and cannot instruct Zhechong Mansion unless there is an emergency situation, such as rebellion, natural disasters, etc.
After the busy work, he led his younger brother back to the camp. Seeing the scholar hurried over, he pulled him to the side to whisper. Wu Kang frowned and strode away, leaving the brothers confused. Di Renjie asked what was going on, but the scholar kept silent, smiled apologetically and followed the big boss's footsteps.
Wu Kang came to the Central Army tent and flipped in the tent door. He saw Chen Shuozhen tied it to a wooden stick. The wooden stick as thick as a bowl was buried deep underground. The iron chains and hemp tied her into rice dumplings.
He strode over, took the boot-bar dagger, cut the hemp rope on his chest, cut the hemp clothes, and pulled off the close-fitting little clothes. He squatted down and looked carefully, and immediately gritted his teeth. Seeing the woman's face full of mockery, he wished she could stab her a few times. At this moment, he heard the familiar steps and his scalp was numb.
Cui Xiaoqing rushed over and mocked her sarcastically: "Oh Wu Erlang, you not only love young women, but also widows? No wonder you are locked up here, you have bad intentions. Do you... want to piss me to death? The rebels dare to get tired of being lustful, you are so horny! Isn't there enough women in your family to ruin?"
"What's the matter?" Wu Kang rolled his eyes and stood up and left in a hurry.
Cui Xiaoqing completely ran away and ran out after him. When she saw him lifting a knife and getting on the horse, she roared in a loud voice: "Where are you going? What are you going to do?"
"Go and ruin good women."
The horses left with the forty bodyguards, followed closely behind, and a large area of smoke and dust dissipated. Cui Xiaoqing spitted twice, looked at the black dots in the distance, and jumped up in anger and cursed. The curses were so dry that they waved to Qian Shun beside her.
Qian Shun secretly called unlucky, and came over with a tough bullet, lowered his head and kept silent. Cui Xiaoqing looked up and down, and said sarcastically: "Look at you like this, you're like a turtle eating a weight. No matter how I ask, you won't say it, right?"
Qian Shun pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Xiaoqing didn't force it, so she turned around and went back to the account to rest. Qian Shunru received a general amnesty, quietly wiping cold sweat, and oiling the soles of her feet was very good. She went back to the military tent, washed her face in a clean water, and sat on the bedside in a daze. The boss's wife was so generous? It shouldn't be!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt tired, and I wondered how to suppress my shock. At this time, the curtain of the tent opened, the squadron leader Sun Wu came in, mysteriously took out the sheepskin bag, unscrewed the lid and wafted out the fragrance of wine. Qian Shun smiled, stretched out his thumbs up and praised it, snatched the wine bag and raised his head and poured it.
After half a pound of breath, I felt dizzy. When I saw two Sun Wus, I was waving to him. I regained my consciousness again, opened my eyes in a daze, and saw that there was a big sea bowl on the couch in front of me. A water bag was covered with a wooden spoon, and an iron funnel was also placed on the side of the bowl.
When I was not sure, when I saw that the boss's wife was also there, Sun Wu looked up at the roof. He found that he was tied up and sweated heavily, and the rhythm of torture and confession was so severe that he was gritted. He glared at Sun Wu, and the slaves in the field still looked up and did not look here.
Cui Xiaoqing said lightly: "Don't grin, Manager Qian, I asked him to do it, let's start. Your boss should have said that you should be honest and lenient, and resist strictness. Give you another chance and honestly explain, what did he do?"
Qian Shun cried and gritted his teeth without saying a word. Cui Xiaoqing was happy and said sarcastically: "I can't tell, you are loyal to my Erlang. It's really good, I have to give some rewards. Sun Wu, don't stand there."
Sun Wu responded repeatedly, lifted off the saliva bag, picked up the funnel and spoon. Qian Shun looked at the things in the bowl, and rolled in his belly, and tears were disgusting. Most of the bowl of maggots and things in the pit were squirming happily.
Two bodyguards came over, controlled his head, and scratched his squeak. They were so itchy that they tightened their joy and stuffed the funnel into the corner of their mouth. Sun Wu scooped a spoon of maggots and apologized: "Captain, don't blame me. The boss's wife, I dare not ignore her. You are suffering..."
Seeing the spoon being sent to the funnel, Qian Shun vomited and screamed: "The boss is going to capture Chen Shuozhen. The one in the military camp is a substitute, and looks like Chen Shuozhen. The person who revealed the news is a prisoner of war, and the one who was fed by the boss seems to be Liu Sanxi."
Cui Xiaoqing refused to comment, Qian Zhutong continued to pour beans: "San Xisheng's handsomeness was forced to serve Chen Shuozhen. He found the secret that there were two Chen Shuozhen, and the substitute was the captain of the guard. The difference between them was that under the left chest of the real body, there was a black mole the size of a rice grain, and there was no substitute."
Cui Xiaoqing pouted and finally understood the truth. She was wrongly accused of her lover.
Qian Shun continued: "When the rebels were defeated, the captain of the guard fled and headed northwest. Sanxi suspected that the cicada had escaped. When he was arrested, he shouted that he wanted to see the boss, but was discovered by the scholar. This matter was very strong, and the scholar dared not make decisions, so he immediately reported to the boss."
Speaking of this, Cui Xiaoqing knew it clearly, and Chen Shuozhen must have run away. Thinking of this, slamming the table, pinching her waist and scolding Qian Shun: "Why didn't you say it earlier? I wronged my husband and trapped me for being unfair, and I must be punished. Sun Wu punished him to take a spoonful of it."
Qian Shun was in tears. My God, please let me go. I stuffed the funnel into my mouth again, and watched the wooden spoon roll down, countless maggots fell, and they retching again in disgust. However, I soon found that there was no foreign object in my mouth, and I couldn't help but feel confused.
Sun Wu pulled out the funnel and swayed in front of him. When he saw the leaking mouth blocking the block, he felt as if he was killed and was fooled by the boss's wife.
Cui Xiaoqing hilariously: "You are your husband's right-hand man. I can't even be grateful. How could you insult? Alas, you have been overnight and your husband hasn't come back yet. I'm not at ease. You immediately take all your brothers to pick up your husband. Di Renjie and his fifth uncle are all there. The military camp is very safe and you don't need your protection."
Qian Shun nodded like an amnesty, and wanted to fly out immediately. He went to capture Widow Chen, even if he died in battle, it was even more thrilling. As soon as the rope was untied, he jumped out directly, while arguing, gathering all his brothers to go to the northwest to support him.
Fifty miles northwest is Guoyili, Jishan County, Muzhou (Shouchang Town, Jiande City, Hangzhou, Zhejiang). There is a village in the north of the town, surrounded by mountains and isolated from the world. The hillside to the south of the village is the shortest, and pear trees grow all over the mountains, which is also the only way to get out of the village.
Just after the morning of Mao, there were just dawn. On the gentle mountain road, there were about a hundred pedestrians. Looking closely, they were all Taoist nuns, wrapped in black cloth, wearing green Taoist robes, and like a family moving. When they arrived halfway up the mountain, the Taoist nuns in the leader suddenly stopped and stopped the team behind them. They frowned and stared at the ridge.
After about half a minute, rubbed the sore right eye, gently took away his hand, and his right eyelid continued to twitch. The ominous premonition lingered, and the willow leaves were furrowing. The Taoist nun came over behind her and asked in a low voice: "Miss Xuannv, why don't you leave? Is there anything wrong?"
Chen Shuozhen was silent, put his brows on his brow again, and suddenly noticed something strange. Something appeared at the backbone of the hillside. First there was a human head, then a horse head, a black horse, and a burly knight. The horse slowly went downhill, stopped about forty meters, blocking everyone's way.
Everyone was breathing coldly, and the mask of Hell with green face and fangs was terrifying. The knight slowly raised his head, as if he was praying, and suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife and blew the arrow through the clouds. In an instant, the horse's hooves roared, and a large group of cavalry appeared on the ridge, roaring towards him.
Chen Shuozhen yelled at the "enemy attack". The Taoist nun quickly untied the package and showed the three-foot stunning knife. Hundreds of packages rolled down the slope at the same time. The scene was a bit shocking. The Taoist nun's entire army attacked. He shouted, the sound of killing sounds, his footsteps moved, and the hillside shook.
Twenty cavalry charge, down the slope, like a tiger going down the mountain, unstoppable. When they collided with the enemy camp, they slashed at the same time, at least more than forty nuns were killed, trampled to death, and chopped to death. With diving and inertia, the knight could not control the horse and rushed directly to the bottom of the mountain. When they rushed to the bottom of the mountain, they had to run a distance before they could turn the horse's head.
The other Taoist nuns did not escape, and Chen Shuozhen regrouped and rushed directly to the top of the mountain. Wu Kang raised his head and prayed: Wen Ruoerniu, all the brothers killed by the Chen thief, all the brothers who died to protect the Chen thief, you open your eyes in the sky, I am avenging you!
With a command, all the members dismounted, twenty people lined up to resist the battle between Taoist nuns. The melee began, with swords and swords. Both sides were very quiet, with only the sound of swords and weapons colliding, and no loud shouts. Taoist nuns were Chen Shuozhen's personal soldiers, all of whom were very powerful in martial arts, and they were useless on large-scale battlefields. Small-scale battles were quite difficult to deal with.
On the other side of the hillside is the Pear Garden. If the cavalry charge, they will rush directly to the bottom of the mountain like the brothers did just now. When they come back from the horse, the fish that escaped into the Pear Garden will escape, and if they want to catch them all in one go, it will be difficult to reach the sky. They can only stop them in the foot battle, and when the brothers at the foot of the mountain come back, they will be wiped out.
However, the reality is very skinny. The cavalry rushing to the bottom of the mountain suddenly fell on their backs and overturned. The long trapped horse pit, the mud completely flooded the horse's legs, and the horses could not get out at all. The security guards had no choice but to jump into the mud, and according to their usual training, they lay on the mud and rolled out so that they could get out.
When they got out of the mud, they were covered in mud, with slopes and slippery feet. The speed was slower than the turtle. They were so angry that they cursed. Wu Kang was also cursing. Widow Chen was too bad, and the mud must have been dug in advance. I didn't say anything. They had to stop them until the brothers arrived at the foot of the mountain.
More than fifty Taoist nuns, protecting Chen Shuozhen in the center, fought with twenty security guards. The security guards were extremely fierce and did not occupy a good area. The Taoist nuns were many, but they were all women. Both sides were equally matched, like young and dandy fighting, with each having casualties.
The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road. Wu Kang, as the backbone, must take the lead. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and smashed the Feiyi knife with a horizontal knife. The knife was not reduced and he directly cut off the woman's arm. He raised his foot and kicked the blocker away, and inserted it towards Chen Shuozhen in the center of the circle like a sharp knife.
The clay brothers were getting closer and closer, and Wu Kang became more and more brave as he fought. He cut off a head and stabbed a person's lower abdomen. However, at the moment of drawing the knife, he saw the familiar face, his body was as if struck by lightning, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang. His knees suddenly bent, and he picked up the collapsed woman, and his throat was choked with thick phlegm.
The bodyguard was shocked, and the scholar took the lead, blocking the knife that was slashing at the boss, and hitting his elbow. More than ten life brothers stepped forward together, blocking the boss behind him, and continuing to fight with the bandits. The scholar killed the two of them and waited for the reinforcements to arrive. When the clay brothers joined the melee, Gaoxuan's heart finally let go.
There were thirty people on our side, and the other party was less than forty, so there was no big problem. Thinking of the boss's abnormality, he quickly turned around and looked. He saw him half-kneeling on the ground, took off his mask, hugged the woman, covered the wound on her abdomen, and faced her eyes.
The scholar was about to speak when he heard the sound of "My grandma", and he felt as if he was struck by lightning. His face turned pale as paper, and his body was staggering and almost fell down. Could this woman... Is it because the company is constantly searching for and still missing the contact with the boss? How could he join the rebels when he is with Chen Shuozhen?
A few minutes later, the scholar roared and turned around to join the battle group, and a tear fell to the corner of his eyes.
The woman stretched out her hand tremblingly, Wu Kang hurriedly grabbed it and pressed her cheek tightly. The woman smiled and said intermittently: "Kang Lang... It turns out that it is you, you are really the high-ranking official. Erlang and Xiao Niang are both hungry... Kang Lang, my mother doesn't blame you... it's not!"
Wu Kang's brain was completely blank, and a voice was echoing: the stepmother who loves you died under your knife. The egg hen was slaughtered, the body was repaired, the information was informed, and the escape was made; the head was bleeding, and he begged for you; the stepmother who was traveling through the stars and nights, the stepmother who sent you money died under your knife...
