Niushuan sang a tune proudly, took out a small wine gourd from his pocket, and took a sip of it happily. His huge nose, which was reddened by the cold wind, became even more rosy.
"Ah... after taking a sip of strong wine, I felt a warm current flowing from my throat to my stomach. A comfortable feeling flooded my whole body, and Niuxian felt more and more comfortable.
Thinking that he would get what he wanted tonight, Niu Shuan felt more and more comfortable. The heat surged under his lower abdomen not only did not dissipate with the cold wind, but became even hotter. Niu Shuan tied the wine gourd
With his hands on his waist, he was about to ride his horse to the carriage and joke with the two beauties when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind.
When Niushuan turned around, he saw a black shadow coming from behind in the distance. He felt a little strange and couldn't help but looked over curiously. Could it be that some of the cavalry from the invading army were coming from behind? He couldn't remember.
There are still cavalry in Wuchang City.
"Or are the officers and soldiers catching up?" This possibility was driven away by Niushuan as soon as it emerged from his mind. Not to mention whether the officers and soldiers were so fast, even if the officers and soldiers rushed to the gates of Wuchang City, even if they were
There are only some remaining defeated soldiers defending the city. It will take at least a day or two to break through the city. It is impossible for them to transform into heavenly soldiers and fly from the sky.
Niu Shuan looked into the distance with confusion, stretched his neck and kept looking at it.
The sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, causing the ground to tremble continuously. Niu Shuan cursed in a low voice: "Which bastard dares to gallop on such a road? Aren't they afraid that the horse will stumble and fall to death?"
Niu Shuan, who originally tried to save others by himself, did not think that any guy would dare to risk his life and run wildly on such a muddy road, but now it seems that he has miscalculated. It turns out that there are really people in the world who are not afraid of death.
At this time, Ma Tao, the commander in charge of the escort, rode his horse over and said to Niu Shuan with an anxious look on his face: "Mr. Niu, the sound of horse hooves seems to be coming fiercely. He shouldn't be our brother. Hurry up to the front of the convoy. I can let you go."
People protect you."
Ma Tao's words were very tactful, but Niu Shuan understood what he meant. What he meant was to let Niu Shuan go to the front, so that if anything happened, he could escape first.
But Niu Shuan didn't appreciate it. He glared and shouted, "What's the matter? You don't even know who is coming from the other side and you just let me go to the front. If it's a friendly army, wouldn't it be a joke?"
When Ma Tao heard this, he was so anxious that he almost knelt down, "Master, don't forget, when we came out, there were no brothers in the cavalry team in the city. Most of the people coming now are officers and soldiers, you'd better hurry up and get to the front
Go ahead, otherwise you will be in trouble later!"
After saying that, Ma Tao stretched out his hand and pulled Niu Shuan's horse rein, trying to pull him away by force, but Niu Shuan glared at him, "You bastard... don't forget who you are, how dare you
You are so rude to me, so open your eyes and take a closer look. Are the people coming behind you...these are...his fucking officers and soldiers?" said the last sentence.
As he spoke, Ma Tao's tone changed into a sound like a rooster's crow.
At this time, the cavalry who had come very close had caught their sight. A bright red flag and a red cloak were dancing in the cold wind!
Niushuan's voice suddenly changed. He pointed his stubby fingers at the cavalry approaching him quickly and trembled: "No, those are officers and soldiers. They are officers and soldiers coming. Everyone, run away!"
The sound was loud enough to be heard by everyone nearby, but it made Ma Tao so angry that he almost fell off his horse. What was this bastard doing? Isn't it chaotic enough? Everyone saw the officers and soldiers coming.
It's something, but you yelled like this. The morale of the whole army was destroyed by you.
"Shut up!" Ma Tao couldn't bear it any longer. Did this guy want to kill everyone? He waved his riding crop and hit the horse's buttocks hard, making a "snap" sound as the horse sat down.
There was a crisp sound.
The horse couldn't help but neigh under the pain, and ran forward like crazy with its front hooves, no matter how hard the bullhose pulled it, it couldn't hold it back.
Niu Shuan was so frightened and angry that his face turned blue. He shouted angrily: "Ma Tao, you bastard, stop me quickly!"
Ma Tao followed him and apologized: "Master, I'm sorry, the officers and soldiers are coming. If you don't run away, you will be finished!"
Like an ox bolt, he tried hard to control the horse that was running wildly, and shouted, "You idiot, even if you want to run away, you have to take away my beauties, especially the mother and daughter. If I lose them, I will
I’ll peel off your skin!”
Ma Tao was also a little dumbfounded. How long had it been and he still remembered the women he had snatched? Did he really not want his life?
As soon as Ma Tao and Niuxuan ran away, many soldiers in the convoy panicked and abandoned their vehicles one after another and fled. For a time, the long convoy suddenly became a mess, and thousands of soldiers also fled in a rush.
As soon as they dispersed, even the driver jumped out of the car and ran towards the wilderness by the roadside.
At this time, no one had time to pay attention to the food and treasures on the cart, let alone the women in the seven or eight carts behind.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the cavalry from behind came to this row of abandoned convoys. Thousands of cavalry quickly surrounded these hundreds of large vehicles. The middle-aged officer at the head had a dark face and was dressed in exquisite and sturdy clothes.
He is the guerrilla black iron of the cavalry battalion.
Kurogie jumped off his horse and walked to a cart. He took out the long knife from his waist and aimed it at a box. The copper lock fell with a sound. Kurogie opened the box and saw that the silver was shining.
The white light shone directly under the sunlight. It turned out that the box was full of pieces of silver. Even Heitie, who thought he was "well-informed", was dazzled by the silver light.
"Damn, it's all silver here." A look of joy appeared on Kurogie's face, and he turned to the surrounding cavalry and shouted: "Everyone, please open the boxes and bags of the car and see what's inside?
"
"yes!"
"ping pong ping pong"
Soon, the sound of metal clashing and the sound of sacks being unwrapped came from the motorcade.
Soon, a cavalryman came over and reported: "Sir, everything here is filled with gold, silver, jewelry and food!"
Kurogane asked in surprise: "Is there food? Have you calculated how much there is?"
"Sir, according to my humble estimate, there are about three hundred carts of grain. Calculated at ten dan per cart, it would be about three thousand dan."
"Okay!" Kurogie smiled broadly after hearing this. He knew very well that in this troubled world, food is the foundation for survival, and the money that can neither be eaten nor drunk is secondary.
Heitie waved his hand: "Okay, drive all these carts back to Wuchang City immediately."
"Sir, aren't we going to chase those bandits?"
Kurogie shook his head: "No more chasing. Even if we kill them ten times, they won't be able to compare to these things. Okay, hurry up and hurry back. Panda must be waiting impatiently!"
Kurogie was urging the cavalry to turn the cart around and drive back. A cavalryman came to report again: "Sir, sir, the brothers found some women in the cart!"
"What, a woman?" Heitie was stunned... Although it was an hour after Youshi, the sky had gradually darkened. It seemed that night was about to fall, but Heitie's team had not returned yet. A group of people from the inner courtyard of the governor's Yamen In a study room, Pang Gang was pacing anxiously. Next to him sat Li Yuan, Wang Zhi, Bin Shiqian and other generals. Everyone looked at the anxious Pang Gang. Although they wanted to comfort him, they saw Pang Gang's unkind expression. He didn't even dare to say a word. As Pang Gang's official position grew, more and more soldiers and horses were under his command. The majesty on his body became more and more intense. When the sergeants and officers saw the thick displeasure on him, Ang Ziwei's Majesty would feel terrified in his heart. Only Wang Zhi and Li Yuan, his subordinates who had been with him from the beginning, dared to speak out when he was in a bad mood. But today, Heitie's behavior of pursuing him without authorization was It was a taboo in the army, and no one dared to say anything.
After a long time, Pang just stopped and coldly snorted: "If Heitie comes back this time, I will punish him severely!"
Pang Gang was really angry today. Niu Jinxing had left him a mess and a big burden, but Heitie actually led his cavalry to pursue the enemy without permission. What kind of behavior was this? To put it nicely, it was an unauthorized attack. To put it harshly, it means lack of military discipline. This is something that cannot be tolerated by any military discipline.
What's more, it took Pang Gang two years of hard work to set up this cavalry battalion. During this period, he spent countless efforts and time. There are still less than 5,000 cavalry so far. If anything happens, Black Iron will chop off his head ten times. Death is not a pity, how can you make Pang Gang not anxious!
Wang Zhi and others all understood Pang Gang's mood. They just sat quietly and said nothing. Even Li Yuan, who was usually the rudest, did not dare to say a word and sat quietly waiting for the news.
When it got completely dark, Pang Gang finally stopped pacing and asked in a deep voice, "Has Yebu, who went out to make contact, come back?"
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, Bin Shiqian stood up and said bravely: "Master Qi, Ye Bushuang hasn't come back yet. It's probably because General Hei attacked too far and couldn't contact him for a while, but there's no need to worry, sir. General Black has thousands of cavalry under his command, they will not suffer any loss."
Pang Gang's face was so cold that it could be covered with frost: "Bastard! This black iron, I think he has been living too comfortably these days and has forgotten our military regulations. It seems that I want to treat him well." Time to brush up on military regulations!”
Pang Gang's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. Hearing Wang Zhi and others secretly shuddered, they couldn't help but secretly said: "Old Hei, my brothers can't help you. Just ask for your blessings. This Sir, you are really angry."
"Report!" Shi Bowen's voice rang loudly outside.
Pang Gang inside said angrily: "Come in!"
Shi Bowen strode in and said to Pang Gang with a joyful face: "Master Qi, General Black is back."
"What, Heitie is back!" Pang Gang's voice was filled with three parts anger, three parts surprise and four parts surprise.
"Exactly, General Black not only returned with the entire cavalry battalion, but they also brought hundreds of carts, all of which were filled with food, gold and silver."
"What? Hundreds of cartloads of grain and silver?" There was a burst of exclamation in the study, "Quick, go out and take a look!"
At this time, the lights were brightly lit outside the governor's yamen, and Heitie dismounted triumphantly and stood on the steps outside the gate. In front of the yamen were the brothers from the baggage camp, who were seizing the time to unload the silver and grain from the carts.
, preparing to move into the inner courtyard of the governor's office.
"How is this going?"
A voice appeared behind Heitie. Heitie looked and saw that it was Pang Gang standing behind him with an unkind expression, looking at him gloomily.
Seeing Pang Gang's face, Heitie's joy just now suddenly disappeared. He then realized that he pursued the enemy without authorization without Pang Gang's order. This was a violation of military law. If this crime is seriously pursued,
Beheading is not an exaggeration.
Kurogane, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head and bowed: "Sir, please explain to General Rong Mo. The thing is like this... It took Kurogane a long time to stumble and pursue him.
The reason was, and he hugged the result with a bang, and then looked at Pang Gang with an uneasy and helpless expression, waiting for his boss's announcement.
Pang Gang pondered for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Heitie, you attack without reporting. This is a taboo in the army and is not allowed by military law. However, because of your eagerness to serve, you have recovered thousands of dollars for the army."
For the sake of grain and stone, I will not punish you severely this time. I will temporarily relieve you of the guerrilla duty and demote you to the rank of Qianhu. You will temporarily command the cavalry battalion. If there is a problem next time, I will not spare you lightly."
After listening to Pang Gang's words, Heitie's originally worried heart was relieved. Only then did he realize that in this freezing weather, a thin layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Wiping his forehead casually, Heitie suddenly remembered something and said to Pang Gang, who was about to walk towards the gate: "My lord, stay back. General... Well, when I was chasing the bandits, I found the bandit's convoy.
There are also more than a dozen women in the house. I have interrogated some women in my humble position, and they claimed that they were kidnapped. I don’t dare to be expert in my humble position, so I came here to ask for your advice on how to deal with it!"
Pang Gang was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Heitie, what do you mean? It's your first day as a soldier or something. You are a guerrilla general who can't even deal with such a trivial matter. I am
I think you might as well stop working in Qianhu and become a general manager!"
After scolding for a long time, the evil fire in Pang Gang's heart was mostly dissipated. Seeing Heitie being scolded so much that he didn't even dare to say anything back, Pang Gang was secretly amused, so he said: "Okay, don't
Acting like a frustrated little daughter-in-law. This is not the character of your black general. Tell me, what is going on?"
Pang Gang knew that although Heitie could not be called a wise general, he would never be so stupid that he could not solve even the smallest problems by himself, and even had to report to him the rescue of several women.
Heitie saw that Pang Gang's expression had softened. Knowing that his boss's condition was almost gone, he came over and whispered beside Pang Gang: "Sir, I originally knew that I should not bother you, but I should not bother you.
However, he discovered that two of these women were the family members of Feng Longxiu, the former governor of Hubei Province. They did not dare to specialize in their humble positions. Only then... Kurogie did not continue and looked at her with a look like "you know".
With Pang Gang.
"Oh? Feng Longxiu's family members?" Pang Gang muttered something and fell silent.
Originally, Pang Gang wanted to send all the abducted women to the supply camp, and those with families would be given money to go home, or let them live with relatives and friends. If there was no place to go, they could be brought back to Shandong after the war.
, you can let them work by themselves, or betroth them to others, but if it is Feng Longxiu's family, it will be a bit troublesome. If it is not handled well, it will easily cause criticism. This is what makes Pang Gang scratch his head.
.
Thinking of this, Pang Gang couldn't help but glare at Heitie. This guy is too trouble-making. It seems that demoting him to a thousand households is too light. Next time, he should be demoted to a hundred households.
Pang Gang's glare didn't matter, the sweat on Heitie's forehead started to break out again. Seeing his boss's face, Heitie complained secretly and quickly opened the thick curtain of the carriage behind him and shouted to the inside.
: "Come out, you have already returned to the governor's office of Wuchang Prefecture. If you have any grievances, you can tell my master."
As soon as Kurogie finished speaking, two figures emerged from the car. Two extremely beautiful beauties, one large and one small, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Hiss... Pang Gang couldn't help but was secretly surprised. Logically speaking, Pang Gang is not a person who has never seen beautiful women. Not to mention that her concubine Chen Yuanyuan is the type of beauty that will bring disaster to the country and the people. Let's talk about Li Xuezhu, Kong Ruolan and
Wei Man Ting is a first-class beauty, but when Pang Gang first saw this mother and daughter, he couldn't help but feel amazing from the bottom of his heart.
Pang Gang didn't expect that the wife of Hubei Governor Feng Longxiu was so young and pretty, and she looked so similar to his daughter. People who knew better knew they were mother and daughter, but they didn't know and thought they were sisters. No wonder
The bandit didn't forget to take them with him even when he ran away. Putting this mother and daughter together could easily arouse evil thoughts in some people's hearts.
At this time, the mother and daughter who got out of the car stood in front of Pang Gang and said long blessings to him and then said: "The widow Feng Li, Feng Xuan'er has met you, sir, I wish you all the best!"
Seeing the mother and daughter Hua Zheng who had just gotten out of the car looking at him timidly, Pang Gang couldn't help but sigh secretly. The ancients said that beauty is a disaster. It seems that you are not deceiving me. It is indeed easy for a woman to be too beautiful.
It causes trouble, not to mention in this feudal society, let alone future generations four to five hundred years later.
Pang Gang sighed slightly, took a few steps forward and said kindly to the mother and daughter: "Mrs. Feng, Miss Feng, you are too polite. Please get up quickly. Pang is a minister in the same palace as Mr. Feng. Now Mr. Feng has already
Martyred for the country, Mrs. Feng and Miss Feng are in such trouble, how can Pang not care? It's cold outside, please come in quickly!" (To be continued)!~!
