Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

As Xiao Mohe and his party mounted their horses to prepare for a breakout, their location naturally became more and more clearly highlighted. Although it deviated from the position that Tang Jun had previously guessed, it had completely lost its suddenness.

The two cavalry teams of the Tang Army were arranged on both sides of the reed swamp, waiting for the enemy cavalry in the reed swamp to fall into the trap.

But the Wuzhong villagers who had been harvesting reeds now became extremely excited. They each waved their tools and ran towards Xiao Mohe and others who had already rushed in, shouting: "Capture thieves and kill enemies." , Confer meritorious service!”

Xiao Mohe and his party were already panicking, but the excited reactions of these villagers caught them off guard. The war horses rushing into the dense reeds were not fast enough, and their vision was obstructed. The rider was caught off guard and was stumbled by the ropes, fishing nets and other objects thrown by the villagers. Before they could struggle to get up, they were thrown down into the reeds with both men and horses.

As soon as Xiao Mohe led his troops to the outskirts of the reed swamp, powerful and swift arrows were fired at them. These arrows hit his armor, causing his chest to surge with anger. As for other armed protection, His soldiers, who were already inferior to him, were constantly shot to death by arrows during the charge.

At the same time, the two Tang Army cavalry teams outside had also formed a mighty battle formation outside the reed marsh. They were about to collide head on as soon as they rushed out of the reed marsh.

Although Xiao Mohe himself is brave and brave, he is already helpless in the face of such a dangerous and bad situation. Even if he rushes out and kills several opponents at the risk of his life, it is difficult to reverse the current disadvantage.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and even the first half of his life, which was not long, flashed through his mind. Seeing that he was still a few feet away from breaking out of the reed swamp, and was about to be attacked even more fiercely, Xiao Mohe He suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, pulling the horse upright, causing him to fall down from behind. Then he quickly jumped up on the ground, crossing his hands toward the reeds and shouting: "General, please have mercy on me. Please spare my life." Wait for it to come down!”

At this point, it actually makes no difference whether they are willing to surrender or not. It is just a matter of how many people are captured alive. Therefore, the soldiers of the Tang Army outside the Weiwei did not stop the attack and were still drawing their bows to kill some who still showed resistance. He then ordered the others who were willing to surrender to dismount and abandon their weapons and walk to the open space outside the reed marsh.

Xiao Mohe and the hundred or so disciples around him walked out with their heads bowed, but before they could stand firm outside the reed swamp, many Wuzhong village disciples swarmed out from behind and rushed to throw these people to the ground. He tied them up tightly, and then looked at the Tang army soldiers on horseback with uncertain faces and asked: "Excuse me, general, do these count as the success of capturing the living mouth?"

As the time spent together increased over the past few days, these Wuzhong disciples also learned more about the treatment enjoyed by the Tang Army soldiers, and their desire for military glory had reached an extreme. Not to mention Xiao Mohe and the others, even if the king of the country Chen Chang appeared here at this moment, the thought that came to their minds would probably not be that the power of the king is untouchable, but how many hectares of fertile land would be granted to the ability to capture the king of the country?

Under the enthusiastic performance of these Wuzhong villagers, the soldiers of the Tang Army did not even dismount. The battlefield was swept, and Xiao Mohe and others were also tied up and carried on the shoulders of the villagers. Then he happily and vigorously headed to Shen's manor more than ten miles away.

At this time, in the Shen family's Xiaxi Manor, all the Shen clan members and Quzhuang people gathered inside the fence of the manor. Under the leadership of their clan leader Shen Zhong, they faced off against the Tang army outside the manor across the wall.

"If the Duke of Dai came to the countryside to visit, I would be flattered and would bring the whole family, old and young, to the village to greet him. But now the Duke of Dai has entered the countryside with troops, horses, and weapons. Although the villagers did not dare to offend the king's military power, they were frightened and occasionally It's human nature to be disrespectful."

Shen Zhong is not just greedy. He is also well-informed and has a stubborn temperament. Even when faced with the Tang army generals who suddenly led their troops to surround the village, he can still maintain an attitude of neither being humble nor being arrogant and arguing with reason: " I suffered a calamity in Jiangling in the past years. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is compassionate and caring for the people, and respects the courtesy of scholars, so I can survive the disaster unscathed and return home safely.

I remember this kindness to this day and often teach the descendants of the clan. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, heroic in appearance, and generous as a master. If he can rule the world in the coming year, it will be a great blessing for our scholars from the north and the south! Dai Gong is the most beloved general of His Majesty the Tang Emperor. He should be grateful for this magnanimous intention and continue to be kind to the people in the world who are thirsty for kindness. How can he be good at imposing authority and subjugating others with violence?

The flesh and blood of my clan cannot be sharpened by a knife, but they live in this part of the world in the middle of Wuzhong. They are honest and upright, and they have no shame. They allow the clan to go into trouble without compromising their integrity. Today, the Duke suddenly comes to show his authority, and I don’t know why he is guilty. Whether he exists today or not, justice will be spread to the world in the future! "

When Shuofeng heard Shen Zhong's righteous speech, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he had grasped the truth early on. Otherwise, just looking at this man's confident appearance, he would have been bluffed by him and doubted. I really made a mistake.

"Master Shen, please be patient for now. The reputation of Duke Shen has spread throughout Wuzhong, and I have heard about it a lot. The former is busy with military affairs and has no time to visit the countryside. Although the sudden visit today is abrupt, there is a reason for it. If Duke Shen doesn't know why, he will come to visit later." I have been suing you for a long time. Don't worry, Lord Shen. Whether you are here today or not will not harm the justice of our king. , to comfort the common people!”

Several Phoenixes raised their fingers and said with a smile, then looked at the Shen clan members inside the wall and said: "I urge all Shen clan disciples to return home obediently. If you still gather here and make wild gestures, it will inevitably happen later." Donate your life to serve our division!"

When the Shen clan members heard this murderous threat, their faces became worried. Some people couldn't help but shrink back and retreated into the village, but there were still some Shen clan members who stood firm and unswervingly. Beside the patriarch Shen Zhong.

Several phoenixes were not in a hurry to enter the village, but under the glare of the Shen family, they leisurely rode around the village to look around, and raised their hands to arrange where the soldiers would attack.

When the Shen clan members in the village saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel more and more worried, especially Shen Zhong, who was the backbone of everyone. Because there was something wrong in his heart, his lips were pursed tightly and his face was bloodless.

Seeing that it seemed impossible to get through this time, Shen Zhong's tense expression gradually relaxed, and his eyebrows showed a bit of flattery. As he walked towards the village, he loudly said: "People in the countryside have simple etiquette. How can we refuse distinguished guests when they come?" Outside the door. It’s getting late now. Please come into Zhuangrong and sweep the bed for me to entertain you..."

If Shen Zhong had been so understanding when he first came to the door, Shuofeng would have been interested in making excuses with him, but now he was no longer in such a mood. After hearing this, he just waved his hands slightly and said: "Of course you have to enter the village, but you also have to go in." There is no need to rush, I must let Mr. Shen know my intention and be convinced before he blames me for coming and causing trouble. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise of people and horses was heard from behind. Soon, a knight rode his horse forward and announced to several phoenixes: "Your Majesty, all the thieves have been captured and killed, and none of them have slipped through the net!"

After hearing the words, several phoenixes smiled slightly, then raised their whips and pointed towards the village, shouting: "Enter the village! If anyone in the village dares to stop and resist, kill them!"

"Wait a minute, wait..."

When Shen Zhong saw this, he couldn't help being frightened. He was about to go in to quibble, but was frightened away by the armored soldiers who had been waiting outside for a long time and raised their swords. On the left and right, the Shen family's children came forward with weapons to protect the clan leader, but they were stopped by the sergeants outside. He was deemed to have recalcitrant intentions and was shot directly on the spot.

As the armored soldiers outside the door swarmed in, everyone in the Shen family was frightened and retreated. The patriarch Shen Zhong was directly controlled by several warriors who jumped off their horses. The rest of the Quzhuang people fled into the village.

This was not an evenly matched confrontation. Soon the Tang army took control of the manor. Several Feng went straight into the manor's living room to sit down, and then asked people to bring the captured Chen Army soldiers up to confront Shen Zhong.

Now that the matter has come to this, there is naturally no room for further quibbles. Xiao Mohe, who was captured by the villagers and beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, quickly explained the mission of his trip and his secret contact with Shen Zhong. Confessed. At this moment, Shen Zhong had long lost his previous momentum. He was lying on the ground exhausted and his face was ashen.

Shuofeng was not surprised that Shen Zhong and other countrymen contacted Chen Qian. Based on Tang Jun's various actions in Wuxing in recent days, it was strange that they couldn't find a way to save themselves. As for Shen Zhong's arrest, it was just another piece of fat.

However, when Xiao Mohe revealed his life experience, Shuifeng was a little surprised: "Are you Xiao Mohe? Xiao Mohe, the general of Qiantang Town? Why did you die here if you are not stationed in Qiantang?"

"The criminals who came here were also harmed by others. Because they had offended King Linchuan before, they were resented by him. Furthermore, King Linchuan wanted to seize the defense and military affairs of Qiantang City, so he forced Duke Hou and Hou An to send out the criminals..."

Xiao Mohe also knew very well why he had fallen to this point, so he immediately paused and said: "The criminal has served the Chen family loyally. The country's fortunes are declining and there is no room for loyalty. If the Duke is willing to tolerate and grant life, the criminal is willing to serve the Duke and serve the Chen family. Datang is loyal to you!"

Shuofeng himself was not on the front line, and he didn't know much about the situation on the front line. When he heard Xiao Mohe say this, he said again: "I don't need your wholehearted loyalty, but you did help me to defend Qiantang a few days ago. It will cause a lot of trouble. Now I will send you to the front line. If you are lucky enough to survive, you may not be able to return to the court with you on the day of victory."

After ordering his soldiers to send Xiao Mohe and some prisoners to the front line overnight, Shuofeng looked around at the manor outside the hall that had been shrouded in night, and then ordered: "Search this manor quickly, and the money, silk, grain, and rice will be sent to you as soon as possible." Don’t miss any materials!”

"No……"

Shen Zhong, who was already looking like he was about to die, suddenly became excited after hearing this, and suddenly let out a shrill roar from his mouth, which was even more frightening in the night.
