Chapter 5 Sudden Change of Wind and Cloud Section 46

The soldiers of the Xiangyushan battalion were furious.

Even if the military salary has not been paid for a long time, now they are not even given food, and the bureaucrats in Jizhou Prefecture have gone too far. For three days in a row, there had been a "howling camp" incident in the barracks, and the soldiers had repeatedly gathered in the barracks' tents to demand that they enter the city to grab food. Bing Cao engaged in Zhang Xiao and Jun Sima Linxun, Panta and others urged Yan Liang to enter the city to ask for food.

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 took two thousand black leopards to go with him, Wang Fen would not give food, it was very simple, he just wanted to harm me, and he wanted to force me to lead people to smash the warehouse and grab food.

"Do you know what the consequences of smashing open the granary without permission are?" Yan Liang said expressionlessly, "According to the law of the Great Han Dynasty, the Nine Clans will be killed. I still want to live for a few years, so I don't plan to go into the city to be Wang Fen's pawn. If you don't have any tricks, please go back to your tents. ”

Lin Xun and Panta originally wanted to open their mouths to scold Yan Liang in order to provoke him, but seeing Yan Liang's angry and murderous appearance, several of them were a little afraid, and they didn't dare to spit out the words that came to their mouths.

Zhang Xiao wanted to go to the palace to talk to Wang Fen, but then he was chased by Wen Chou, who rushed to Yuanmen to intercept him. Wen Chou persuaded him not to go, Wen Chou said: "We detained Xu You, Wang Fen must be very annoyed, you go now, just throw yourself into the net." If he uses the excuse of putting you in prison or beating you half to death in anger, how are we going to save you? Aren't you asking for hardship? ”

Zhang Xiao was very moved, he said: "I am familiar with Wang Fen, the Lord of the Thorn History, I will go to ask for mercy, maybe he can give us a day's food on my thin noodles, and we can save the emergency." Now Lord Lieutenant and Lord Thorn Shi have fallen out, and the two will not let each other go, and if the confrontation continues like this, it is the soldiers who suffer. ”

Yan Liang then chased after him. He was very angry, pointed at Zhang Xiao and said sharply: "I see that you don't want to live anymore, who let you leave the camp without permission?" If you dare to take a step, I will kill you immediately. ”

Lin Xun and the others saw that Yan Liangtie was determined not to enter the city, and the soldiers of the battalion were bewitched by the black panther Yizun, and their anger had reached the limit of the outbreak. No one expected the situation to be so bad. The four military commanders secretly discussed and sent Liao Lei to the military city to report the crisis of the camp to the bitter chieftain, hoping to temporarily ease the extremely tense atmosphere through his help.

Liao Lei scolded Wang Fen bitterly, saying that Wang Fen was a fool, and there were many ways to lure Yan Liang into the city, why use this most stupid method. If Wang Fen continues like this, he will not only lose the morale of the army, but also be hated by the soldiers, who else will obey the orders of Jizhou Mansion in the future? Of course, the bitter chief was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly sent someone into the city to contact Wang Fen.

If you want to achieve great things, you can't do it without an army. Although Wang Fen was very anxious, Yan Liang was not fooled, and refused to take a step out of the camp, which made Wang Fen helpless, he felt that Yan Liang was like a big turtle with a shrunken head, so he had no idea what to do. After receiving the news of the bitter chieftain, he was also worried that the soldiers would be forced into a hurry, and in desperation, he ordered the grain depot to allocate a day's grain to the Xiangyushan camp to relieve the urgent need.

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

He Feng took a dozen attendants and swept into the camp like a whirlwind.

Liu Ming and Lu Xian looked at each other and smiled after reading Yuan Shu's warrant. Liu Ming casually threw the warrant on the case, and asked very dissatisfied: "What is the basis for Lord Yuan to say that Lord Li is plotting to rebel?" ”

He Feng only arrived in the Changshui camp, and he was not familiar with these military horses, so he just drank a few meals together, and he didn't have any friendship, but he knew that this Liu Ming had high martial arts skills and was a man of all kinds in the Changshui camp. Liu Ming's ability to sit in the position of military Sima was completely cut out of the Xiliang battlefield with the war knife in his hand, so he was very prestigious among the soldiers. If Captain Changshui is not in the camp, he is usually in charge of the army.

He Feng saw that Liu Ming's face was not good, and he muttered secretly in his heart. If you can't convince Liu Ming today, you can't do anything.

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

Liu Ming glanced at him, snorted coldly in his nose, and suddenly burst out of his eyes with a chilling murderous aura. He Feng was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he and Yuan Shu imagined. These barbarians not only have brains, but also have a keen sense of smell, and they are not fools who blindly obey them. Could it be that Liu Ming heard something?

Liu Ming and Lu Xian didn't have scarves today, and their hair was draped on both sides arbitrarily, which invisibly added to the violent spirit of the two. Lu Xian stretched out his hand to comb the long hair on his face, and sneered: "Lord Li was still fighting bloodily on the Xiliang battlefield three months ago, fighting on the battlefield, and making great achievements for the Han Dynasty, how come he became a rebel in the blink of an eye?" Lu Xian immediately picked up the Yuan Shu warrant on the case, shook it twice in the air, and said disdainfully, "With these few words, you told us to kill Master Li?" ”

Seeing Lu Xian's arrogant appearance, He Feng couldn't help but bump upwards angrily, a pair of eyes suddenly widened, he tried his best to lower his voice, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu is going to disobey the order?" ”

"If Lord Yuan tells me to kill you, should I kill you too?" Lu Xian said coldly, "What is the crime of the Black Panther Righteous Accomplice? How did they rebel? Why should we believe your word and lead men to kill them? ”

"Lord Deer, like you are now, it is a flagrant disobedience to military orders, which is a capital crime, do you know?" He Feng threatened, "I think you're tired of living." ”

Lu Xian was furious, he struggled to smash the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "I just disobey orders, you come to kill me!" ”

He Feng is usually used to being majestic, and he speaks without measure, he was stunned for a moment when Lu Xian called him like this, and then he realized that the two people sitting opposite him were military horses, not his own subordinates. He realized that he had lost his words, and the atmosphere suddenly became very stiff, but it was impossible to redeem it. If the things outside the city can't be solved, 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 at the cracked Luxian, trying to calm himself down. He had no idea that a planned event would completely change the direction of development in a few words, and he was almost mad in a hurry. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his reckless intrusion into the camp was a fatal mistake. He was not familiar with the two big men opposite, but he could deduce from the words of the two just now that they were on Li Hong's side, they turned a blind eye to Yuan Shu's warrant, and there was no Yuan Shu in their eyes at all.

The Great General, the staff of the Great General's Mansion, Yuan Shu, almost all of them were self-righteous from their own point of view, and they all thought that the Changshui Battalion was loyal to them, but they were all wrong. After the Changshui battalion returned from the Xiliang battlefield, the Hu soldiers in the Changshui battalion were full of gratitude and admiration to Li Hong, it was Li Hong who rescued them when they were about to fall, and it was Li Hong who defeated the Xiliang rebels with the Fengyun iron cavalry, which was dominated by Hu soldiers. Now among the generals of the Great Han State, who treats the Hu soldiers as their own brothers? Who paid the soldiers of the Hu nationality military salaries and pensions? Who gave the Hu soldiers the same glory as heroes? Except for Li Hong, there is no one else. Although the Hu people are barbaric and ignorant, they believe in good people and worship heroes, and Li Hong is a good person and a hero in their minds, and they can follow Li Hong unconditionally and obligedly.

The more He Feng thought about it, the colder his heart became, and the heat in his body suddenly disappeared, and cold sweat quietly broke out.

He Feng couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up suddenly, forced his composure, pointed at Liu Ming and Lu Xian and said, "Okay, since the two adults disobeyed the military order, then I have to go back to the city and report to Lord Yuan truthfully, I hope the two adults will do it themselves." ”

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

He Feng was taken aback, and then his anger surged up, and he changed color. He was originally a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but being threatened by Liu Ming aroused his fighting spirit and ferocity. He Feng opened his eyes angrily and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu can leave if he wants to, who dares to stop me?" ”

He turned and strode toward the curtain.

Liu Ming looked at He Feng's back, the muscles on his face twitched nervously, his eyes were almost spewing fire, and he slowly pulled out his sword.

Liu Ming exhaled and suddenly roared: "Stop!" ”

He Feng stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Ming, and then let out a disdainful sneer from his nose, he spat fiercely on the ground, and shouted arrogantly: "Phew! Hu Manzi, what can you do with Lao Tzu? ”

Liu Ming held the knife in both hands and shouted: "You are looking for ...... death" Before the words fell, his body rose violently, and his huge body suddenly shot towards He Feng like a long arrow off the string.

"Kill ......" He Feng was not afraid, suddenly drew his knife and turned around, and flew up to meet him, "Kill ......"

"When ......" two knives crossed, making a loud noise.

Liu Ming is tall and powerful, and he chops down with a thunderous force, domineering and fierce. He Feng only felt a huge earthquake in the tiger's mouth, half of his arm was in unbearable pain, and the war knife in his hand almost fell to the ground, He Feng was so shocked that he took three steps back.

Liu Ming was unforgiving, rushed forward, slashed the knife and slashed again, "Lao Tzu hacked you alive!" ”

He Feng was so angry that he had no choice but to take another step back. He handed the knife to his left hand, opened his mouth and shouted: "Barbarian, Lao Tzu and you are fighting!" Then he went berserk, and then regardless of the defense, he attacked bravely, and his hearty shouts were endless.

The two fought fiercely, stabbing back and forth, fierce and tragic.

Lu Xian sat on the seat and smiled leisurely: "He madman, don't you boast that you are the first knife in Luoyang?" Kill, if you have the ability, kill it, I want to see how many moves you can resist today? ”

He Feng forced Liu Ming back with a knife, and just wanted to scold Lu Xian a few words, he saw Liu Ming catapult back, and the war knife in his hand was thunderous, and he was immediately swept into the stormy waves. He Feng tried his best to resist, but he still felt like a rotten wood on the cusp of the waves, which could be torn to pieces at any time. He was struggling, trying to find a chance to survive.

Lu Xian pointed at He Feng and scolded: "In Luoyang, you dog is a dog who is powerful, does evil, bullies men and women, acts arbitrarily, and does all kinds of evil, what do you think you are, but you are just a dog in the General's Mansion." ”

The more he scolded, the more angry he became, he suddenly jumped up from the seat, kicked the desk in front of him, and roared wildly: "Tiele Mingqiao'er, kill him......"

(Tiele Mingqiaoer is Liu Ming's Xiongnu name.) )

He Feng was startled when he suddenly saw a desk flying in the air, he hurriedly pulled back, and with all his strength, he chopped the case into pieces with a knife head-on. Liu Ming took the opportunity to fly up and chop it in the air. He Feng couldn't dodge, so he had to seal the frame again.

"When ......" gold and iron resonate. He Feng's sword was cut off, Liu Ming landed steadily, and in this short moment, Liu Ming suddenly punched out like lightning. He Feng screamed miserably, opened his mouth and spurted 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 for a long time swarmed up, fists and kicks. He Feng is extremely strong, although his mouth and nose are bleeding, his hair is scattered, and he looks like crazy, but he still supports himself and fights fiercely, which has the intention of not dying.

Liu Ming lifted the war knife upside down, rushed out of the big tent in a flying step, kicked the exhausted He Feng to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Tie it up, hang me on the gate." ”

The guards immediately tied He Feng up in a sturdy knot. He Feng was not afraid and scolded. One of the Karasuma soldiers thought he was noisy and grabbed a handful of grass from the ground and gagged him.

Lu Xian walked out of the big tent with his hands in his hands, looked at the embarrassed He Feng, and sneered: "Luoyang's first knife? Hmph, I thought it was some kind of knife, but it turned out to be just a pig-killing knife. Drag it away, hang it up! ”

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

I don't know if He Feng was too arrogant in Luoyang or offended too many people, more than a dozen guards of the Changshui camp scolded him and beat him violently, and then hung him from his head and feet on the gate. A dozen or so attendants who had come with him were also tied to a wooden fence near the gate.

He Feng was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, bruises all over his body, and suffered enough, just when he was dizzy, he saw a smiling face, it was Li Wei.

Li Wei took out the weeds from his mouth and asked with a smile: "What a madman, I will let you down, you don't want to spread wild and beat people." ”

He Feng thought to himself that I was going to die, where would I still have the strength to beat people. He Feng closed his eyes and nodded again and again. Li Wei then ordered the guards to untie the rope. He Feng lay on the ground softly, weak.

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

He Feng was furious and scolded: "What do you see? Isn't Lao Tzu in trouble, what's there to see? ”

The crowd laughed. Chen Hao walked up to him and said with a smile: "Hurricane, if you go to Luoyang today, will you still have the face to see people in the future?" ”

He Feng glared at him and said: "Lao Tzu has been embarrassed a lot, and he doesn't care about such a time, but this time he was too embarrassed and embarrassed, and he was beaten like this by his own people." He turned his face to look at Li Wei and shouted, "Li Zhongyuan, let me go quickly, I want to go back to the city to complain to Lord Yuan." These barbarians dare to beat me, I don't think they want to live anymore, and I must avenge this revenge. You're going to let me go. ”

"Let you go? What a madman, you can dream about it. Chen Hao scolded, "I'm going to kill you?" You say, why did you let the Changshui camp attack us in the middle of the night? ”

He Feng's face changed, knowing that today's matter was completely over. The Changshui Battalion not only did not listen to Yuan Shu, but also colluded with the Black Panther Yi Army to deal with Yuan Shu. How so? What method did Li Hong use to make even people like Liu Ming and Lu Xian bow down to him?

Li Wei smiled slightly and said, "He madman, let you go, as long as you truthfully tell when and where you and Yuan Shu are going to rob and kill Lord Li." ”

He Feng didn't say anything, he scolded hatefully: "If Li Hong hadn't suddenly changed his itinerary and was in a hurry to go to Hejian Country, you would definitely not have survived tomorrow." ”

"We're not going to the Riverland at all." Li Wei smiled, "After solving you, we will return to Yecheng tomorrow." When the adults say this, they just want to force you to jump off the wall in a hurry, and then do it in advance. ”

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

Li Wei smiled but did not speak.

"Chen Daaxe, what is the relationship between that Hun and you?" He Feng saw that Li Wei ignored him, turned his head and asked Chen Hao again.

He wanted to know the answer too much. Before leaving Luoyang, the general personally hosted a banquet in the general's mansion to entertain them, and also gave each military Sima a sum of money and two beauties. When they arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shu gave them another sum of money, and these people were very happy, and swore one by one that they would resolutely follow Yuan Hou and have no second thoughts. It's only been a few days, and it's changed right away.

"Haha......" Chen Hao laughed, he pointed at He Feng and said, "You fools, you look down on people too much." Do you think that if you are a Hun, there will be no one to support you? Let me tell you, I am a disciple of my teacher. ”

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

"You don't check it out, you are going to kill Master Li casually, I think you and Yuan Highway are really crazy." Chen Hao continued to joke, "Master Li has not yet left Luoyang, and he already knows about your conspiracy. A bunch of fools, Master Li's knife has long been on your neck, and it's ridiculous that you are still shouting there: 'I'm going to kill, I'm going to kill.'" 'Haha......"

Chen Hao's thick Yizhou accent and his dancing posture made the people around him laugh.

He Feng's face suddenly turned to ashes, and his heart was extremely desperate. What is going on, his gang is there every day worrying about how to kill Li Hong, but they didn't expect that all this was in Li Hong's hands from beginning to end.

"He Luozi, it doesn't matter if you don't say how to kill Master Li, anyway, we are going to enter the city to arrest people soon." Li Wei smiled, "If you want to not die, then you can talk about Wang Fen, what does he want to do?" lest the adults come back and be angry, and kill you. ”

He Feng was so disheartened that he didn't even bother to open his eyes, let alone speak.

"My lord, let's hang him up." The guard in charge of the guard said

"Forget it, forget it. Although Madman He is rampant and domineering in Luoyang, he is a good person and has done a lot of chivalrous things, so let's lock him up. Li Wei smiled, "He also helped with the matter of Yongping Street, and I have to thank him." ”

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

It was dark, and Xindu ordered Tian Feng to set up a banquet in the government to entertain Li Hong and Yuan Shu and his party, and the scene was very lively.

Song Wen held Tian Feng's warrant in his hand and hurried to the north gate of Xindu City with more than a dozen government guards. The city gate was opened, and Song Wen ordered three guards to stand under the city gate with torches.

After a short time, Jiang Wu and Liu Ming quietly appeared in the dark night outside the city with a thousand iron horses.

"Who is Master Jiang?" Song Wen greeted the cavalry and asked loudly.

"This official is Jiang Wu." Jiang Wu lightly kicked the horse's belly and rode out of the column, "The adult is ......"

"Below is Song Wen, on the orders of Lord Li, waiting for Lord Jiang here." Song Wen said as he handed over a warrant stamped with Li Hong's seal.

"Is that you?" Jiang Wu stretched out his hand to take the warrant and said with a smile, "It turned out to be you." You've taken refuge in the city of Shinto. ”

Song Wen smiled and bowed his hand.

"What do you have to say?" Jiang Wu asked eagerly, "Is your adult safe now?" ”

"Master Li is in the mansion, and it is well guarded, so it will be fine." Song Wen said, "Yuan Shu is preparing to ambush Master Li at the West City Gate, and his soldiers are now lurking in a courtyard near the West City Gate, and have not yet entered the streets and alleys, so 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, and then arched his hand and said, "My lord has an order, tonight's matter is under the command of Mr. Song." Please Mr. Song for instructions. ”

Song Wen seemed to know about this in advance, he humbly arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Please also ask your lord to cooperate." ”

"Meditate." Jiang Wu turned around and shouted to Liu Ming behind him, "Come here." This is Mr. Song Wen Song, and he is in command of tonight's affairs. Liu Ming glanced at Song Wen in surprise and bowed on the horse.

"Yuan Shu's five hundred soldiers are basically the cavalry of the Changshui Battalion." Song Wen said with a smile, "After Lord Liu led his troops to surround that courtyard, as long as he stood at the door and shouted a few times, it was estimated that he would be fine." ”

"Master Jiang will take two hundred people and follow me to arrest Zhou Jing. This person is very critical, he is Wang Fen's henchman, and if he is caught, Wang Fen's matter will basically be clear. ”

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