The loud shout of Chen Tufu, the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, was like thunder, deafening Zeng Ziyun and others. Zeng Ziyun, who was still crying, raised his head to look at this eight-foot-tall strong man. He didn't know that he was frightened.
, or stopped crying in despair!
Butcher Chen's angry shouting actually had the effect of stopping the child from crying!
The five or six soldiers around Zeng Ziyun looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they all looked at Zeng Ziyun who was still lying on the ground. In the end, they all expressed sighs.
They silently put down the long swords in their hands one after another!
Seeing the last few enemies in front of him put down their swords, Butcher Chen snorted coldly, the contempt on his face clearly evident.
Just when Zeng Ziyun and his party surrendered under the intimidation of Butcher Chen, Su Jianjiang and others continued to run away in embarrassment.
Now Su Jiakang can be said to be in a state of disarray. One of the shoes under his feet has disappeared. The official hat on his head is also missing. There are also a few holes in the wide sleeves. He doesn't know who pulled him just now.
.
In a panic, he looked back at the valley as he ran. From his sight, the valley was filled with dense bandits. Zeng Ziyun and others who had stayed behind had disappeared. It was not known whether they were dead or captured.
.
Damn it!
When he led the army from Longhua Town, he was so high-spirited and heroic. At the time, he, Zeng Ziyun and others were full of confidence that this time they would be able to defeat the puppet Tang Dynasty hiding in the mountains.
Completely defeated.
By then, the great achievement of annihilating the rebellion of the puppet Tang Dynasty will be at your fingertips!
In order to wipe out the puppet Tang Dynasty and capture Li Xuan alive, he even asked his subordinate Master Sun to contact a bandit leader in Jiguan Mountain, trying to find the location of Huangzhu Mountain with the help of people from Jiguan Mountain.
But they didn't expect that before they found Huang Zhushan, they were ambushed by the puppet Tang Dynasty.
After being ambushed, although he escaped with his life, at least sixty or seventy people were left behind, and even Zeng Ziyun fell into the enemy's formation.
This matter suddenly became troublesome.
It doesn't matter if dozens of people were killed or injured. The despicable lives of ordinary military households were not taken seriously by the county magistrate Su Jiakang. The key is that even Zeng Ziyun, a fifth-grade Qian household, is gone. This is not easy to explain to the superiors.
Even though Su Jiakang looked down upon Zeng Ziyun, in any case, Zeng Ziyun was an official of the imperial court and a serious military officer of the fifth rank. Once he was killed in battle, the impact would be great.
What Su Jiakang was even more worried about was that when he was fleeing just now, he saw a large number of soldiers surrendering behind him. If Zeng Ziyun also surrendered, then this would definitely be a huge scandal.
A scandal that Su Jiakang himself cannot afford.
No, you must find a way to change this situation!
As for how to change the situation?
Turn around and continue to attack the Puppet Tang Dynasty to atone for the crime? This is not possible. Who knows how far the Puppet Tang Dynasty has grown. Just now in the valley, they were surrounded on three sides. Their strength was at least five or six hundred people. Now the morale of their officers
There is nothing, even the general is gone. No one can lead the soldiers to fight the war. Moreover, the situation is dangerous now. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Naturally, he, a gentleman like Su Jiakang, cannot take risks easily, so he should leave the mountain and return to the county early.
Yamen safety...
After I leave the mountain and return to the county seat, I will report it immediately!
The memorial reads like this: The pseudo-Tang Dynasty took the people and gathered three thousand thieves. Because the thieves were powerful, the minister decided to lead his troops to seal the mountain to contain them, waiting for reinforcements to arrive and use the power of thunder to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. However, Zeng Ziyun, a thousand households, refused to listen.
After giving the order, he privately led five hundred troops to advance, but unfortunately he was ambushed by the bandits. Upon hearing this, he immediately led his troops to the rescue. They fought hard for three days and killed hundreds of bandits. The bandits were defeated and fled in a hurry. However, Qianhu Zeng Ziyun was besieged for a long time.
Died from exhaustion...
After such a memorial was sent, all the responsibility for the defeat could be shifted to Zeng Ziyun. Not only was he not responsible, but he was responsible for the rescue.
As for Zeng Ziyun, he must die. Even if he is not dead but is captured, he must still be said to be dead. This is not to give Zeng Ziyun a posthumous reputation for dying for his country, but to reduce the negative impact.
At the same time, he also pushed all the responsibilities to Zeng Ziyun.
Because the dead are the final scapegoats.
And Su Jiakang understood that not only did he know this, but the other surviving hundreds of households who entered the mountain this time, the generals such as the general banner also understood this. If the responsibility was not put on Zeng Ziyun, they would all have to
Bad luck.
Even his immediate boss, the Lord Fu, had to cooperate with Su Jiakang's actions, because the reason why Su Jiakang and Zeng Ziyun hurriedly led officers and soldiers into the mountains to encircle and suppress them was because of the instructions of the Lord Fu.
If he didn't want to be implicated, then he absolutely couldn't admit that he was the one who instructed Su Jiakang to rush in and suppress the enemy.
For this defeat, the only one who should bear the responsibility is the unlucky boy Zeng Ziyun, and it must be a dead Zeng Ziyun.
Su Jiakang, who was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, still had the energy to continue the siege of Huangzhushan. He wanted to rush back and write a lofty memorial to save himself from this disaster.
Su Jiakang took the remaining more than 400 Ming troops and ran away without looking back, which also made Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren heave a sigh of relief.
Although they had taken advantage of the chaos to kill off the Ming army before, they even blocked a group of sixty or seventy Ming soldiers in the valley, and finally forced them to surrender quickly.
But even so, they don't have much confidence.
Because at this time, if the Ming army outside reacts and regroups to attack the valley, it is really a question whether the Huangzhushan group can stop it.
Seeing the Ming army leaving, Fang Dongquan and the others turned their attention to the people in Jiguan Mountain on the other side of the valley.
On the other side of the valley, everyone in Jiguan Mountain was in a daze from beginning to end, because for a quarter of an hour, they didn't understand what happened at all.
I and others came here to follow the people in Huangzhushan. What they wanted was to find Huangzhushan's lair and then grab a handful.
But I didn't expect that the first people I encountered while chasing him would be officers and soldiers.
Then the officers and soldiers directly regarded them as enemies and planned to attack them. This frightened everyone in Jiguan Mountain and they were all ready to run away.
But before the officers and soldiers could come over, the people from Huangzhushan appeared out of nowhere, and these daring guys dared to directly ambush the officers and soldiers.
What surprised them was that the officers and soldiers didn't even resist and ran away. Not all of them had escaped. Sixty or seventy of them were blocked in the valley by the people from Huangzhushan.
What made them even more confused was that the officers and soldiers who were blocked in the valley could not hold on for a moment, and they all surrendered neatly before long.
The scene they saw today made them feel that the world was changing too fast!
When the people in Jiguan Mountain, who looked stunned, saw Butcher Chen and his men coming over, they didn't know who shouted: "Everyone, run!"
As a result, all the bandits in Jiguan Mountain who had originally planned to rob Huangzhu Mountain and then watched such a big show on the road, all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Butcher Chen saw the Jiguan Mountain bandits running so fast, he did not continue to pursue them, but snorted coldly, with disdain on his face.
After the battle, Fang Dongquan and the others did not dare to stay, fearing that the Ming army would return. They quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then escorted Zeng Ziyun and the others back to Huangzhu Mountain.
And when they returned to Huangzhu Mountain, Li Xuan looked at Zeng Ziyun who was wearing a fifth-grade official robe in front of him, with a look of astonishment on his face.
