Ou Jing retreated deep into the dense forest with Bu Qu's support. His right leg was almost penetrated by a long arrow. The injury was very serious and blood flowed all the way.
For such an arrow wound, the arrow must be removed as soon as possible and bandaged to stop the bleeding, otherwise he will die of excessive bleeding soon.
Ou Jing didn't dare to delay, so he was helped to sit under a big tree and asked his bodyguard to fetch arrows for him.
When the bodyguard cut open the wound with a dagger and violently pulled out the arrow that had penetrated into the flesh and blood, huge pain hit him like a tide, making Ou Jing's face twist into a ball. If he hadn't bitten the dagger sheath in his mouth, he would have lost his voice in pain.
Screamed.
Zhang Jin stood aside, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. As soon as Qu Jing had bandaged the wound, he immediately urged: "Ou Zhonglang, we should take advantage of the darkness to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. If we wait until dawn, we may
It is difficult to have a chance to break through again. District Zhonglang's leg is seriously injured and it is difficult to ride a horse. You can share a horse with Bu Qu."
"Haha..." Ou Jing couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then the laughter became louder and louder, looking particularly eerie in the silent woods.
"Ou Zhonglang..." Ou Jing's unusual behavior made Zhang Jin feel a little uneasy.
Ou Jing laughed until he was out of breath and then stopped. He stared at Zhang Jin with his eyes a little wildly, and asked breathlessly: "Does the commander really think that we can successfully break through?"
Zhang Jin became increasingly uneasy and said, "It's difficult. Is it possible to surrender to the enemy? I am the lord of a state and a vassal town of the country. If I surrender to a traitor who is a merchant, my reputation will be ruined and I will become a laughing stock in the world."
"The commander is so majestic and unyielding that I really admire him." Then Ou Jing changed the subject: "The commander does not have the integrity of the commander. In order to survive, he has no choice but to surrender. For this reason, he needs to borrow something from the commander. I hope he can return the favor.
Your grace is right."
Now that the situation is at the end of the rope, Ou Jing wants to surrender, and Zhang Jin can't be too harsh on the other party, but after hearing his last words, he clearly wants to take his own head. Zhang Jin can't help but get furious, and yells with an angry look: "Ou Jing! How dare you?
!”
"Kill!" Ou Jing gave the order, and the more than 20 people around him all rushed towards Zhang Jin without hesitation. However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Jin and his left and right bodyguards were chopped down to the ground by random knives.
"Dog slave! How can the world tolerate you for killing your master? You will not die well in the future!" Zhang Jin was stabbed several times and died full of resentment towards Ou Jing. His head was immediately chopped off.
Hearing Zhang Jin's curse before his death, Ou Jing fell into silence for a moment. How could he not know that killing the master is a taboo in the world and is not allowed by etiquette, but he had no choice but to do it.
A general who loses his followers is like a tiger and leopard losing their claws. He has lost all his followers and only has about twenty people left. He must give a big gift in order to have a place under Liu Jing's command, and Zhang Jin is this
Big gift.
The only way to deal with Zhang Jin is to capture or kill him.
If Zhang Jin is captured and surrendered, Zhang Jin will definitely be resentful towards him. Zhang Jin is the lord of Jiaozhou, and Liu Jing will most likely not kill him, but will use his name to command Jiaozhou. As long as Zhang Jin is alive, he will be jealous of him.
Always a huge threat, so Zhang Jin must die.
…………
On Pingdan, the Jiaozhou Army camp was still blazing with fire, illuminating the surrounding areas as bright as day, but the fighting had stopped. Including the thousands of Yulin Hanyi who had previously responded to Zhang Jin, more than 10,000 had surrendered, and the rest were either dead or escaped.
Just when Wang Qiang and Wu Dang were busy dealing with the aftermath, some cavalry reported that they besieged Zhang Jin, the Jiaozhou herdsman, and others in a forest. Afterwards, internal strife broke out among the Jiaozhou people, and Zhonglang killed Zhang Jin.
He bowed his head and surrendered.
When Wang Qiang heard the news, he was overjoyed. In this battle, he beheaded thousands of people and captured over 10,000 enemies at a very small cost. It could be said that he had achieved a complete victory. The fact that Zhang Jin was awarded the head was simply an astonishing joy.
However, Wu Dang was first happy and then angry, and said to Wang Qiang: "Ming Mansion, Qu Jing, this person killed the lord and rebelled against human principles. It is really a wolf's ambition. He must not be allowed to stay. He should be the leader to correct people's hearts."
Wang Qiang had different opinions on this and said: "In the past, Peng Chong disobeyed the destiny and rebelled in Youzhou. The ancestor Guangwu announced to the world: Whoever kills Peng Chong will be made a marquis. Later, the slaves of Peng Chong's family secretly killed Peng Chong Yique. Although the ancestor Guangwu If you despise him, you will still call him an unjust prince."
Wang Qiang came from a merchant family and was literate since childhood. Later he joined Liu Jing's army and read not only military books but also historical books.
Wang Qiang then added: "What's more, whether to kill or not to kill the scene is not something I can decide. I will report it to the general and let him make the decision."
Wu Dang sighed and said: "The nature of evil people will not change, and there is only one evil in the world. At first Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan to serve Dong Zhuo, and later Dong Zhuo was killed by him. I hope the general can learn from the past and execute disloyal people like Quan Jing." Unjust people." :(/
Wang Qiang did not answer the question. He believed that Liu Jing would probably not kill Ou Jing. After all, the latter was from the Ou family in Changsha and could be considered Liu Jing's township party. Without harming his own interests, what reason did Liu Jing have to kill him? Woolen cloth?
Wu Dang also stopped here and looked towards the south. The only place where the Jiaozhou Army camp remained intact was that there were almost no traces of the battle.
Stationed there were the thousands of Yulin Han Yi who had previously served as Zhang Jin's minions. They had been watching the fire from across the bank from beginning to end. As soon as the war came to an end, they immediately sent envoys to surrender, fully demonstrating the true nature of the wall grass.
Wu Dang asked Wang Qiang: "How should the Ming government deal with these people?"
"How to deal with it?" Wang Qiang's plain face was instantly filled with a sinister and ruthless look, and he sneered: "Do you even need to ask? I will naturally kill his leader and recruit his disciples..."
Wu Dang frowned subconsciously: "There are more than twenty leaders, will Qu Shuai kill them all?"
Wang Qiang nodded slightly and said: "This is natural, as the proverb goes: eradicate evil. If we don't kill them all this time, it's hard to say whether someone will take a chance and defect to the enemy again the next time a foreign enemy invades."
Although Wu Dang felt that Wang Qiang's killing was too heavy, what he said was reasonable and he immediately said no more.
Because of his leg injury, Ou Jing had difficulty riding a horse. It was not until dawn that he returned to the Jiaozhou military camp in a deer cart to pay homage to Wang Qiang.
The two chatted in general for a while, and Wang Qiang asked him to rest in peace and recuperate, then dismissed him.
The shouts of killing outside the city kept the people of Bushan awake all night. They finally waited until dawn. People went out to inquire about the situation. They learned that the prefect Wang Qiang led his troops to attack the Jiaozhou army at night. After killing him, the people were stunned and dumbfounded.
In the afternoon, Wang Qiang held a banquet in the city, inviting everyone from all over the mountain to celebrate the victory.
During the banquet, Wang Qiang suddenly launched an attack and killed the newly-reigned leader, more than 20 of his commanders, and 300 followers. The entire banquet was filled with blood, and all the invited guests were horrified.
Then Wang Qiang sent troops directly into the military camp, killed those who refused, and took over more than 5,000 Han Yi soldiers. Wang Qiang selected 3,000 of them and took them under his command, while the rest were distributed among the generals.
