Chapter nine hundred and sixty seventh eunuch party collapse
Deng Weigong naturally had his own plans. His three thousand cavalry were nothing to Guo and Song, and they were just the icing on the cake. But it was different with Zhu Si or Li Na. Especially Zhu Si, who was generous and himself
The three thousand cavalry will definitely receive his attention.
Although Deng Weigong was promoted by Ju Wenzhen, it does not mean that he is willing to work for the eunuchs. Before, there was still the skin of the empress dowager and the emperor, and the shadow of the court. Now that the empress is gone, the skin has been peeled off.
The officials also ran away, which meant that the imperial court collapsed. In fact, only the eunuchs of Beiya and a bunch of lonely people were left. They went to Jingnan, not to mention Jiangnan. Will Liu Pi, the governor of Jingnan, let them go?
Deng Weigong knew very well that it was the right time to leave now, but there was still a lot of money on the ship and he had no share of it. Deng Weigong felt very sorry, but he had no choice. If he didn't leave, it would be too late.
The atmosphere in the cabin was depressing. The three eunuchs had gloomy faces and no one said a word. All three knew that they were in big trouble this time and their lives might not be saved.
"Why don't you give up your money and beg for your life!"
Huo Xianming said for a long time: "Discuss with Guo Song, give him the money, and let us go to the countryside to become rich."
"No!" Ju Wenzhen flatly denied.
Dou Wenchang was a little anxious, "Brother Ju, I can't save my life. No matter how much money I have, it's useless!"
Ju Wenzhen waved his hand, "Both of you, please listen to me. I am not reluctant to give up money. Guo Song wants to arrest us not for money. He wants fame. He uses our heads to attract fame to the world. They will definitely not compromise with us."
Ju Wenzhen's words silenced Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang. They had to admit that Ju Wenzhen was right and Guo Song would not spare them.
Zhu Si was even more sinister. He robbed their money and even wanted to kill them to silence them.
At this time, Ju Wenzhen said: "The only way is to escape, take the most valuable treasure with you, sneak off the boat at night halfway, and the boat continues to move, while we hide and disappear forever. This is our only way out."
"I agree!"
Dou Wenchang immediately expressed his position: "Brother Ju, this method is our only way out."
Huo Xianming also nodded and expressed his approval...
Although the three people had good ideas, their plans often failed to change quickly. The fleet was stopped on the river in Nanpu County. Eight thousand Jin cavalry, led by General Zhang Lingyun, had already arrived first. They pulled two men on the river.
Without an iron chain, the fleet could no longer continue eastward.
The river wind was filled with sadness and murderous intent. Everyone knew that the end was coming. When the ship docked at the south bank, they disembarked one after another and fled for their lives.
Nanpu County is in the north, and the south is very desolate. Not far away is the endless mountain forest, and in the distance are the towering mountains. Generally, only hunters, herb collectors and woodcutter will enter the mountain forest. If there are not enough supplies and food, there will be no way.
If a guide leads the way, there will be dangers and misfortunes when entering the forest.
Zhang Lingyun also took the ferry to the south bank. At this time, more than 500 soldiers had arrived from the south bank. Zhang Lingyun led the soldiers to the large ships. Only the boatmen were left on the boats. These boatmen were very scared, fearing that they would be liquidated.
Zhang Lingyun boarded the big ship that Ju Wenzhen and others were on. It was a mess inside. They didn't take away any of their personal belongings. They left behind tea cups and utensils, and none of them were exquisite. If you just take any one, you can sell it in big cities for hundreds of dollars.
It's a pity that the boatmen didn't know the goods and thought they were just ordinary teacups and teapots.
"What's down there?"
Zhang Lingyun found that the entrance to the ground floor was covered with thick wooden boards and locked with a large iron lock.
The boss of the ship bowed and said: "General Qi, there is a warehouse below. There seem to be dozens of large wooden boxes."
"Open the cover!"
The ship boss shook his head, "The key is not with us. It seems to be in the hands of a eunuch named Jiang. He seems to be the deputy manager. He holds a small box. All the keys to the cargo ship are in the box."
At this time, someone shouted from below: "General!"
Zhang Lingyun walked to the side of the boat and saw several soldiers dragging a young man who looked like a eunuch over. Zhang Lingyun asked: "What's going on?"
The soldier pointed at the eunuch and said, "This eunuch ran out of the woods and was caught by us. He seems to know something about the situation."
Zhang Lingyun got off the boat and saw that the eunuch was a young eunuch who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He asked: "What do you know? Tell me honestly and I will spare your life!"
The young eunuch cried and said: "I am a slave serving Eunuch Dou. The three of us followed him and fled into the forest. When we were resting, a big bead fell out of Eunuch Dou's arms. He asked us if we wanted the bead. Yes.
When one of my companions said he wanted them, Eunuch Dou fell out and drew his sword and stabbed two of them to death. I ran fast and escaped with my life."
"Where did Dou Wenchang escape?"
The young eunuch pointed in the direction of the mountain col and said, "Run that way."
Zhang Lingyun saw the Nanpu County Magistrate coming with a large group of young men, more than a hundred of them, so he stepped forward and asked: "An County Magistrate, are they all?"
The county magistrate nodded, "They are all hunters and are very familiar with the mountains and mountains. They can serve as guides for the general in hunting down the eunuchs."
Zhang Lingyun was overjoyed and immediately ordered the boatmen to transport soldiers to the other side. An hour later, the number of soldiers on the south bank had reached 5,000. Zhang Lingyun divided them into 100 teams, with each team assigned a guide, and began to search the mountains and forests.
The first eunuch caught was Dou Wenchang. With the young eunuch guiding the direction, the pursuing soldiers quickly caught this powerful eunuch. He was older, over sixty years old, and he carried a large amount of treasures.
, unable to escape at all, and unable to run within three miles of entering the woods, he was caught on the spot by the pursuing soldiers.
A group of soldiers were running in the dense forest. When they entered the forest for more than ten miles, they suddenly heard someone talking. The leading brigade commander soon discovered that it was several eunuchs digging holes. He waved his hand gently, and his soldiers surrounded them from all directions.
, they suddenly came out and several eunuchs were so frightened that they immediately collapsed to the ground.
The brigade commander saw an old eunuch with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged against a big tree with a dark face. A soldier came forward to test his breath and turned back to the brigade commander and shook his head.
The brigade commander yelled and asked, "Tell me, who is he?"
One eunuch said tremblingly: "He...he is Huo Xianming. He knew he could not escape, so he committed suicide by taking poison. He gave us the money and asked us to bury his body for him."
The brigade commander was overjoyed that they had found Huo Xianming. He saw a big package next to him. He stretched out his hand and lifted it up. The package was very heavy and filled with all kinds of gold, pearls and treasures.
"Take them away, and take their bodies back with them!"
........
Night fell quickly, and the search teams came back one after another. They captured more than a hundred eunuchs and dozens of guards. Most of the guards were much more powerful than the eunuchs. They could go directly up the mountain and over the mountains and ridges. As for
Whether he could escape alive or not, all the hunters thought it was unlikely.
At this time, Li Bing also rushed to Nan'an and listened to Zhang Lingyun's report.
He looked at the dark mountains in the distance against the night background and asked: "How many of the eunuchs in Beiya have not been caught?"
"Reporting to the general, there are a total of sixty-seven eunuchs in the Beiya. Sixty-two of them have been arrested so far, and five of them are still missing, including Ju Wenzhen."
Li Bing frowned and asked an old hunter next to him, "Excuse me, my husband, what are the chances of surviving if you escape into the forest?"
The old hunter shook his head and said: "Even if we are familiar hunters, some of us fail to return every year. There are not only poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, but also many monkeys. They are more terrifying than ferocious beasts. Although they do not directly kill people, they will rob you."
Once the dry food and water bottles are taken away, we usually can't survive for two days. We all have horns specially designed to deal with monkeys. If they don't have them, it will be dangerous. It is easy to get lost inside, and most people starve to death after getting lost.
"
At this time, a general hurriedly ran over and said: "General Qi, there is a eunuch who said that he knows the whereabouts of Ju Wenzhen and wants to make atonement for his sins!"
Li Bing said quickly: "Bring him here!"
After a while, the soldiers escorted a Beiya eunuch up. He knelt down and said, "I know where Ju Wenzhen is? I beg the general to spare my life, and I will tell him."
Li Bing said calmly: "If you really catch Ju Wenzhen, I can spare your life!"
The eunuch quickly said: "Ju Wenzhen didn't escape at all, he was hiding on the big ship!"
Li Bing perked up and asked, "Where is he hiding?"
"In the cargo hold of the ship where he rode."
Zhang Lingyun said a little annoyed: "I've seen that entrance. It's locked from the outside. How can he get in?"
"He locked it after he entered. At that time, the boatmen were kicked off the boat and no one saw it."
"Did you lock it?" Li Bing suddenly realized.
The eunuch nodded and took out a key from his arms. Li Bing nodded to Zhang Lingyun. Zhang Lingyun snatched the key and shouted: "Follow me!"
He rushed to the main ship with more than a hundred soldiers...
