Chapter 165: Goodbye Feng Changqing
Everyone looked at his fingers, but they saw smoke billowing and flames flying in the distance!
The dust is all over the sky, and it is really the momentum of the army pressing the realm!
How so? Why is there suddenly an official army rushing to help? This... It's impossible!
Pan Wendi suddenly had ten thousand whys in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down and shouted around: "Don't panic, everyone, if it's really a reinforcement from the imperial court, just kill us directly?" As a dignified imperial historian, why would the surnamed Cui take the risk and come down the mountain to negotiate an oath with us? This eighty percent is a mistake where the mountain fire started, my brother and brother don't mess up the morale of the army! โ
As he spoke, he looked at him in a hurry, and ordered his two henchmen to take advantage of the noisy and noisy opportunity to go around behind Chen Yuanguang.
"Hahaha, Pan Wendi, do you still want to deceive yourself at this time?"
Cui Geng laughed loudly: "Mountain fire? There will be no such movement in the wildfire, listen carefully! You have thought about it, surrender now, and this official can still count you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you can not blame the past. If you really wait for my army to kill the bandits and quell the rebellion, hmph, they will all be convicted in the name of rebellion and bandits! What will be the consequences, you can figure it out for yourself! โ
Hearing Cui Geng's words so straightforward, the wingmen couldn't help but be suspicious of the believers, and they plucked their ears to listen carefully. It seemed that they had heard some strange noises, and they began to whisper one after another, and the hearts of the wingmen and soldiers became confused.
Even the two henchmen sent by Pan Wendi to go around behind Chen Yuanguang subconsciously stopped,
Seeing this, Pan Wendi stomped his feet and scolded: "Don't listen to him pretending to be a ghost here, now in addition to the wolf howling, there is a fart sound?" Whoever dares to disturb the hearts of our army will not be spared. โ
The two henchmen understood and continued to tiptoe forward.
However, just when they were a foot away from Chen Yuanguang, they suddenly stopped.
Pan Wendi was really anxious this time: "What are you two hesitating about?" Now I want to change the door, it's too late! Don't forget that your family is still in Zhangxian Cave! โ
"It's not!" A henchman suddenly said in a loud voice: "Cave Master, there really is, listen carefully." I'm afraid if we don't withdraw, we won't be able to leave! โ
"I'm a ghost...... Well? โ
Pan Wendi's voice stopped abruptly, there was really a voice!
I only heard the sound of shouting and killing in the distance, which became louder and closer, gradually overshadowing the noise of everyone here.
"Rush, kill, save Cui Yushi!"
"Annihilate all the counter-bureaucrats, and a head will be rewarded with five big money!"
"Keding Zhangzhou, in one fell swoop!"
"Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be spared."
The mountain night is quiet, and this sound seems to be made by thousands of people together, like a landslide and a tsunami, the sound is huge and shocking.
Seeing the opportunity, the sharp-eared wingmen immediately lay on the ground and shouted: "The sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry of the Han people is coming." โ
What's more, he was already frightened and exclaimed, "Oh my God, everyone, look...... How many people do you have to have so many torches? โ
Obviously, when Chen Yuanguang led his troops to level Fujian and open Zhang, he was indeed frightened by the local bureaucrats. So much so that before the wingmen could meet the reinforcements in a short fight, they were already in a slight rout.
At this time, Lei Wanlong took the opportunity to raise his arms and shouted: "Fellow bureaucrats, my clan brothers, do you really want to go all the way to the dark with werewolf ambitions like Pan Wendi and Lei Guyun?" We have been here for thousands of years, we don't love war, we don't have ambitions, we want to eat, have clothing, have a house to live in, have land to cultivate, be able to raise a wife, and be able to pass on the family lineage. Knowing that the imperial court is unstoppable and the Tang Dynasty officials and troops are invincible, why do you want to rebel with them? It's still too late to strike back! โ
In the years when Chen Yuanguang was in Fujian and Kaizhang, the army was invincible everywhere it went, and the generals were already scared and hurt, and they had accumulated prestige for a long time.
If this has made the wingmen frightened when they hear the Han army, then the remarks of Lei Wanlong, a bureaucratic nobleman, are the last straw that overwhelms their hearts of resistance.
Ground!
"Capture Pan Wendi and return to the Tang Dynasty, we will not rebel, we will have a peaceful birthday!"
I don't know who shouted, and Lei Wanyun's subordinates began to turn against each other one after another, rushing towards the wingmen of Pan Wendi's subordinates in Zhangxian Cave.
At the same time, a small number of Pan Wendi's wingmen began to throw away the weapons in their hands.
Since then, the morale of the army has been completely weakened, and Pan Wendi's long-planned rebellion plan is on the verge of collapse!
Pan Wendi was suddenly frightened, where could he still take care of his ally Lei Guyun Great Sacrifice?
Lei Guyun's subordinates have all rebelled, and Lei Guyun has no value in his place.
He hurriedly yelled at his henchmen around him: "Withdraw! Let's withdraw! Everyone and the master of the cave went back to Zhangxian Cave, and when they arrived in the old forest, no matter how powerful the Tang army was, what could they do to me? โ
Remove?
How can it be that easy?
Behind was Lei Guyun's wingmen fighting back, and in front were Lei Wanlong's men blocking the way.
In an instant, the internal division of Pan Wendi's department also began to fall apart, those who threw weapons threw weapons, those who knelt to surrender surrendered, and for a while, there were only about a hundred people left around Pan Wendi.
But what can you do if hundreds of people resist stubbornly? It's just a grasshopper after autumn!
He was soon killed, and Pan Wendi was captured alive.
Seeing this, Chen Yuanguang opened his mouth in some surprise and muttered: "This gang of cowards, before the Han army arrived, they did it themselves, and this is the first time for this general to fight such an easy battle!" โ
Then, he handed over Lei Guyun to Lei Wanlong's men, came to Cui Geng's approach, pointed to the reinforcements not far away that had not yet arrived, but could already see the figures shaking and the torches flickering, and asked, "Cui Yushi, when did you arrange the reinforcements?" Thanks to you to arrange this move in advance, otherwise this is in danger! โ
"Huh? General Chen, I saw the torches flickering in the distance, and I heard the sound of thousands of horses chirping, so I bluffed to fool Pan Wendi, I have been with you since I went up to Yunxiao Mountain, how can I have time to ask for reinforcements? โ
Cui Geng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, I was right, seeing that this posture is indeed someone coming to help us." Could it be that Jia Renyi's conscience found out? โ
"His conscience finds?" Chen Yuanguang snorted and said, "Unless the sow can go up the tree!" โ
"Who could send reinforcements?" Cui Geng wondered.
"Forget it, I can't guess the ugliness here, don't worry about him, I'll know when I arrive!"
However, when this so-called reinforcement arrived, Chen Yuanguang and Cui Geng were also dumbfounded.
What kind of Tang official army is this Nima? In addition to the dozens of saber soldiers, what remained was a group of ordinary people with hundreds of people, and most of them were old, weak, women and children!
Soon, a big man in the crowd wearing heavy armor and riding a horse slowly came to the two, turned over and got off the horse.
Ordinary people can't even bend their waists when they put on this heavy armor, but this big man knelt on the ground without any difficulty, and said loudly: "It's too late for lowly rescue, and I hope that Cui Tingshi will forgive his sins!" โ
Cui Geng was overjoyed when he saw that the figure of the big man in the iron tower was guessed, and then he took a light from the torch, and quickly picked him up, and said happily: "Changqing, why are you here?" Didn't you deal with the matter I told you in Zhangpu County? This... This... And this ......"
Cui Geng pointed to the group of hundreds of people not far away and asked, "You just used this group of people as reinforcements?" Where did you recruit so many people? โ
Feng Changqing grinned, sold a pass, and said, "The closest to this place is only Zhangzhou City, which is naturally requisitioned from there." Don't worry, my lord, I will tell you ...... carefully."
It turned out that Feng Changqing left Zhangpu County a few days later than Cui Geng, and when he arrived in Zhangzhou City, he heard in the city that Cui Yushi visited General Chen, but was trapped in Yunxiao Mountain by thousands of soldiers.
After learning the news, of course, as the guard of the Lingnan Provincial Governor's envoy, he paid homage to Shi Jia Renyi, hoping that he would quickly send troops to rescue.
But Jia Renyi said that all the soldiers of the Zhichong Prefecture in Zhangzhou were transferred to the mountains to clear the bureaucrats, and at this time, the troops in the city were insufficient, and the remaining troops also needed to defend the city, so as to protect the thousands of people in Zhangzhou City from being harassed by the bureaucrats, and refused Feng Changqing's request to send troops.
Feng Changqing had no choice but to be self-reliant, and came up with a way that was not a solution.
He made a good advocacy, spent all the funds for Cui Geng's inspection of Lingnan Road, and in the name of rescuing General Chen and Cui Yushi, he offered a heavy reward and summoned a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. Of course, these people can't fight, but it's okay to bluff. He also ordered his men to buy lamp oil, as well as all kinds of livestock, such as mules, horses, cattle, and sheep.
Torches were made with lamp oil, some of which were fixed on trees in advance, some on the backs of livestock, and finally even for the old, weak, sick and disabled.
First light a large fire to attract the attention of the wingmen, and then quickly light all the torches.
From afar, it looks like a large army is advancing at breakneck speed.
In the end, Feng Changqing ordered the old, weak, sick and disabled to be not far away, shouting the slogans prepared in advance.
He himself, with twenty cavalrymen, tried to attack the wingmen on the periphery.
He also had no choice, pointing to this method that was not a solution, hoping to scare off the thousands of soldiers besieging Yunxiao Mountain.
What I didn't expect was that there were also contradictions within the wingmen besieging the foot of the mountain this time, so this time he hit by mistake, and the blind cat touched the dead mouse, and the effect was unexpectedly good.
Chen Yuanguang, Xu Tianzheng, Lei Wanlong and others on the side were stunned after hearing this, especially Lei Wanlong and Xu Tianzheng, who were secretly surprised, this is too lucky, right? Can you still fight like this in a war?
After Cui Geng listened, he couldn't mention how happy he was!
He secretly pondered, this time it was really thanks to Feng Changqing's method that was not a solution, otherwise he and Chen Yuanguang would really be blind!
In a hurry, if you can think of this idea and put it into action, you are worthy of being the Tang Dynasty general who will be able to shock the Western Regions in the future - Feng Changqing!
Being able to take this person under the account is simply too good value and a lot of money.
He's only in his twenties this year, how far will he grow in another ten years? It's really Cui Geng's expectation!
In front of everyone, he praised Feng Changqing a few words, but Feng Changqing said: "I am a lowly and arrogant assertion, and I have spent all the funds for your inspection of Lingnan Road, my lord, and next, we will have no money!" โ
"What is silver? Don't say that I have to find a way to make up for it from Jia Renyi, even if it is our Cui family, it is not bad for that bit of silver! โ
Cui Geng said that, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Chen Yuanguang: "General Chen, Cui and Feng Guards will go elsewhere for a private chat first, and Pan Wendi and Lei Guyun will be handed over to you first!" โ
Chen Yuanguang said: "Cui Yushi and go, there is a general here!" โ
"Su Zheng reassures the adults, and the small ones will also help General Chen deal with it!" Lei Wanlong smiled at Cui Geng with a little flattery.
"Okay!"
Cui Geng responded lightly, pulled Feng Changqing to his "reinforcements" team, and asked in a low voice: "Have you done everything I told you?" โ
"Rest assured, my lord, everything is arranged in order and seamlessly."
Then, he turned around and called another sergeant in heavy armor from the crowd of reinforcements, this person was more fully armed than Feng Changqing, his face was covered with a layer of iron skin, and only his two eyes were bare~ exposed.
It wasn't until he saw Cui Geng that he took off his helmet, revealing his true face, kneeling down on his knees and saying, "Sinners see Cui Yushi!" The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, and I am willing to serve the dogs and horses for Cui Yushi. โ
Cui Geng was originally full of spring breeze smiles, but by the illumination of the glittering torches, he was instantly shocked when he saw this person's face, and said in surprise: "You...... How did you become like this? โ
What kind of face is this?
The bridge of the nose is collapsed, the face is full of bubbles, the eyebrows are completely gone, and one ear is missing!
An ugly, terrifying face!
It's like a ghost crawling out of hell!
The man kowtowed twice in a row and said, "Since the villain has already died once, of course his appearance cannot be the same as when he was alive, and this is all his own hands." From today onwards, please call me Zhou Ghost, there is no Zhou Xing in the world! โ
That's right, this person is Zhou Xing who Cui Geng saw in Zhangpu County more than a month ago.
Thinking that at the beginning, Zhou Xing begged Cui Geng to save his life, Cui Geng was in a dilemma at that time, and finally thought of such a way that was not a way, and pointed out it in Buddhist language.
At that time, he let Feng Changqing stay in Zhangpu County, just to prepare for a play, and arranged for Feng Changqing to take 20 trustworthy government soldiers, pretend to be assassins, and "assassinate" Zhou Xing one night and chop him into meat sauce. Make a fake death game.
As for corpses, just find a newly deceased person.
Anyway, Zhou Xing has too many enemies, even if he is dead, there is no specific object of suspicion at all, and people do not suspect him.
As for chopped into pรขtรฉ? That's a better explanation, people hate it. didn't eat all his meat, leaving only the bone frame, which was already very worthy of Zhou Xing.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing burned his face with boiling oil, broke the bridge of his nose by himself, and tore off one of his ears, completely disfigured.
is really a famous cool official in history, he is so cruel to himself, no wonder he can be heavy-handed when framing and interrogating others!
Now even if Zhou Xing is allowed to return to Chang'an and stand in front of Lai Junchen, I am afraid that no one will suspect that he is the thick-eyed Zhou Xing at the beginning.
Cui Geng is right to think about it, if Zhou Xing keeps his original appearance, he will really be discovered by someone with a heart, and it will be a catastrophe for everyone who knows the inside story.
Now that he has changed his skin, using him again is indeed an extra help.
However, things must be reversed, and it is precisely because Zhou Xing is too ruthless to himself, which causes Cui Geng to have a little more worries in his heart, because Zhou Xing's appearance is too eye-catching, and he will frequently appear by his side in the future......
