Deng Qian was completely stunned when he saw the scene of people collapsing and fleeing on the city tower.
All escaped!
What the hell are you blocking?
Run quickly. If you run too slowly, you won't be able to get away.
Deng Qian turned around and retreated without any hesitation. But he had just taken two steps and had not yet left the city. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart, and he felt that his heart was completely penetrated.
The bleeding tip of the knife came out of his heart.
Drops of bright red blood quickly flowed out from the tip of the knife, taking away Deng Qian's life.
Deng Qian turned around with difficulty and found that the person who stabbed him was Zeng Shan, a police officer from Luyang County. Not only that, Zeng Shan, the policeman, was promoted by him personally, but now he betrayed him.
"Zeng Shan, you..."
Deng Qian gritted his teeth and spoke, but blood surged up and his words became slurred.
"Die."
Zeng Shan yelled ferociously, drew his knife and kicked Deng Qian to the ground, then skillfully cut off Deng Qian's head and tied it to his waist. Zeng Shan was originally a bandit, but was later recruited by Deng Qian and stayed in Luyang County as a policeman.
Zeng Shan also wanted to climb up. Now that Luyang County was attacked and the power system in the city was reshuffled, Zeng Shan saw the opportunity and killed Deng Qian directly.
"The dog officer Deng Qian is dead, surrender! Surrender!"
Zeng Shan shouted very fiercely.
After the shouts came out, the situation on the city tower that originally collapsed became even more unstable and completely collapsed. After a while, the city gate opened, and the army led by Wei Fengqing entered the city and met directly with Fang Weihu.
In a short period of time, Wei Fengqing and Fang Weihu took control of Luyang County.
Luyang County fell into the control of the army. Wei Fengqing also saw Zeng Shan who killed Deng Qian and did not pretend to be a traitor. She had no good impression of such a traitor.
It was just that the other party had made a contribution, so Wei Fengqing affirmed Zeng Shan's contribution to killing Deng Qian and left the matter to Fang Weihu.
Fang Weihu had a clear understanding of the situation in Luyang County. He promoted Yu Xiangyang, who was from a local rich family, to serve as county magistrate, and also promoted Zeng Shan to serve as county captain. He quickly promulgated a notice to calm the people, announced court policies, removed many exorbitant taxes, and stabilized Luyang. county situation.
Wei Fengqing was resting in Luyang County. In the middle of the night, he got the news that Zhao Shan had wiped out the Lushan bandits.
Wei Fengqing was not surprised.
The emperor was very capable in both civil and military affairs. He was always good at conquering and fighting, and it was easy to wipe out the Lushan bandits.
Wei Fengqing was not in a hurry to go south and stayed in Luyang County to rest.
The next morning, it was approaching noon.
The army led by Zhao Shan rushed to Luyang County. After meeting with Wei Fengqing, they learned about the situation in Luyang County. They had no objection to the treatment of Wei Fengqing and Fang Weihu, and rewarded Wei Fengqing and Fang Weihu. of credit.
At present, the rewards are given verbally, and once the war is over, rewards will be given based on merit.
The soldiers were eating and resting in Luyang County. After Zhao Shan talked about the battle situation in Lushan, he also mentioned Ye Ruoyu and ordered: "Fengqing, Ye Ruoyu is a female general. She has some strategies, so I will stay with you."
"good!"
Wei Fengqing answered simply and neatly.
Judging from what his big pig trotters mean, it seems that Ye Ruoyu hasn't slept yet. Since there is no such thing, Wei Fengqing will ignore it for the time being.
Anyway, let nature take its course.
She just does what she has to do.
While Wei Fengqing and Zhao Shan were chatting, another soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Ye Yunfei wants to see you."
"pass!"
Zhao Shan gave an order.
The soldiers went to deliver the order. Not long after, Ye Yunfei entered. After saluting Zhao Shan, he quickly said: "General Ye Yunfei, pay homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Ye Yunfei quickly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Luyang County has been captured. However, it is a long way from Luyang County south to Xinye County where the King of Chu is stationed. On this way south, except for the Nanyang bandits south of Xinye County, in fact, There are twelve families of thieves and bandits. The last general, Ye Yunfei, is willing to persuade the bandits to surrender on behalf of your majesty. Please allow your majesty."
Zhao Shan's eyes lit up and he said approvingly: "Seriously?"
"Of course it's true!"
Ye Yunfei answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "If you can persuade many bandits to surrender, I will grant you the official position of General Huwei. If you serve in a local position, I may grant you the status of a county magistrate. As long as the bandits who surrender to the imperial court can perform meritorious service, I will grant you the official position of General Huwei." We will not hesitate to reward and promote, in a word, the capable ones will be promoted and the weak ones will be demoted."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Ye Yunfei answered excitedly.
With Zhao Shan's order, everything will be easy to handle, at least we will have a head start.
Zhao Shan waved his hand, and Ye Yunfei turned around and retreated.
With Ye Yunfei going south, Zhao Shan was willing to spend more time to cooperate, so he postponed the southward journey and delayed his troops for two days before sending troops southward.
When Zhao Shan sent his troops south, Ye Yunfei first arrived in Ye County and came to Gufeng Village, one of the eighteen villages in Nanyang.
The strength of Gufeng Village is not very strong, it is the lowest among the Eighteen Villages, and it is adjacent to Lushan Village, so they have a good relationship with each other. After all, Ye Yunfei once supported the leader of Gufeng Village when he was weak, and the relationship between the two parties was relatively good.
Ye Yunfei came to the foot of the mountain of Gufeng Village. After the news was reported, He Yuanshan, the owner of Gufeng Village, personally came down the mountain to greet him.
He Yuanshan is young, over thirty, with a rough appearance and a heroic demeanor. Compared with Ye Yunfei who came from the Prince of Chu's Mansion, He Yuanshan was a real bandit with a very ordinary background.
With a smile on his face, He Yuanshan clasped his fists and said: "Brother Ye, I heard about the situation in your Lushan Village. Although Lushan Village is gone, you don't have to be afraid. Just live in Gufeng Village. As long as I am there, you will be there. For one day, you can live anywhere and don’t have to worry about anything.”
Ye Yunfei said gratefully with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Brother He."
He Yuanshan said: "You and I, brothers, why are you so polite? If it hadn't been for you, I would have been wiped out by the wealthy households in Ye County. If we don't talk about this between brothers, let's go and follow me up the mountain."
Ye Yunfei didn't say any more, and took Xiong Shan and a few other personal followers with him to climb the mountain with He Yuanshan.
Arriving at the hall of the cottage, He Yuanshan had already prepared wine and meat and entertained Ye Yunfei warmly.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
He Yuanshan said: "Brother Ye, to be blunt, we are all the King of Chu's men, and we are all King Chu's thugs. The army of the imperial court came south, and you met the emperor at the head of the battle, but failed in the confrontation with the emperor. Tell me. We need to understand the specific situation and at the same time prepare for war and resistance."
"well……"
Ye Yunfei sighed.
He Yuanshan looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Ye, why are you sighing?"
Ye Yunfei looked around at everyone in Gufeng Village and said: "Speaking of which, after I fought against the emperor, I found it was too difficult. The emperor was too strong and irresistible. Before, I had only heard that the emperor defeated Xiliang and destroyed Dongying. I thought it was not surprising. Now in the confrontation, I was beaten to pieces, and there was no chance of resistance."
Wow! !
There was an uproar in the hall.
The number of troops in Gufeng Village is not large, with only more than 3,000 soldiers at full strength. The overall strength of Gufeng Village is much weaker than that of Lushan Village. Not only that, the geographical advantages of Gufengzhai are also worse, and there are not enough steep mountains.
The people who were copycats had no idea of the emperor's fighting power.
However, they have an idea about Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei was defeated directly, and he even said that he was beaten to a pulp. There was an obvious gap and comparison.
He Yuanshan frowned, looked at Ye Yunfei and said, "Brother Ye, have you seen the emperor?"
"Seen it!"
Ye Yunfei nodded and said: "I fought with him head-on and shouted to the emperor, so of course I have seen him before."
He Yuanshan said: "What kind of person is the emperor?"
Everyone from Gufeng Village also looked over.
Also very curious.
Ye Yunfei explained: "The emperor has a strong figure, eyes like lightning, and sharp cheeks. His appearance is as good as the sun. He is invincible in battles. He is like a god of death on the battlefield, invincible."
He Yuanshan blinked after hearing this.
This sounds strange.
It was as if Ye Yunfei was specifically praising the emperor to suppress their morale, and even more as if Ye Yunfei was the emperor's man.
