The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 5 Chapter 85: But the case of bandits and thieves in the mountains (9)

There is a mountain in the mountains in the west of the county called Yunding Peak, which is named because this mountain is the highest and most dangerous among the surrounding peaks.

The bandits of the Yellow Beard series are hiding in this mountain.

In February, the mountains are already warm, and the mountains are full of green leaves and safflowers, and there is a beautiful scenery.

This day, he managed to get rid of his attendants, and came to the top of the mountain alone, where there was no one, and looked at the mountains and peaks in the distance.

At the end of last year, he went to the mountain to recruit the Yubu under the order of Xun Zhen, but he did not expect to be kidnapped by the Yubu and forced him to betray Xunzhen.

After all, he didn't want to betray.

He had personally experienced the bravery of Xun Zhen's soldiers, and knew that it would be better if Xun Zhen did not come to pacify them. Once Xun Zhen led his troops into the mountains, these old troops who had hijacked him and rebelled would be destroyed. But under the coercion of the sword, he had to betray and once again became a thief.

In the past few months, his beard, which he was so proud of, had fallen off a lot. He was always worried that Xun Zhen would come up the mountain, and he couldn't eat or sleep well.

To say that since he is unwilling to betray, wouldn't it be alright to go down the mountain quietly and run away? But first, his old clan took him very seriously and never gave him a chance to go down the mountain alone. Second, under the coercion of his old clan, he led the way down the mountain and looted a township at the beginning of the year, killing dozens of them. County soldiers, and burned the local villager Qiangfu.

The spring breeze blew his face, and he stood on the top of the mountain in a trance, looking at Zhaojun County and Township to the east, and unconsciously recalled how he was forced out of the mountain to loot the village pavilion that day by the old ministry.

Because of the lack of food and clothing in the mountains, the snow was freezing, and he couldn't stand it any longer. That afternoon, under the coercion of the old team, he sneaked out of the mountain with more than 200 people and arrived at the nearest township around the early morning.

Xun Zhen had already ordered that all the townships and pavilions near the mountain should be on guard to guard against bandits coming out of the mountain, and dispatched county soldiers to be stationed in the township pavilions near the mountain. Thirty or forty county soldiers were stationed in the village temple in this township.

He quietly entered the village with more than 200 troops, surrounded the village temple, shouted, and launched a fierce attack.

Many of the county soldiers were sleeping and were not prepared. Although they had the high wall of the village temple as their backing, they were at a disadvantage when the battle started.

At that time, he was surrounded by the old team and charged forward, and was almost hit by an arrow. Fortunately, a guard came out from behind him with a spear and blocked the arrow that flew in front of him. He had a deep fear of Xun Zhen, fearing that Xun Zhen would suddenly appear. Although he was in the battlefield, he was in a state of confusion. He still remembered that he kept looking around all night.

The entire battle to capture the Xiangsi Temple was directed by a leader of his old division.

There was no sound from far and near, only to hear the screams of killing from inside and outside the township temple, the torches were bright, and the night was deep.

There was a man by his side in his thirties, and it was the leader who commanded the attack on the village temple. His name was Hu De, and it was this man who led him to betray Xun Zhen. This Hood was a stammer. He held up his spear and watched the battle nervously, guarding against hidden arrows. The other said to Huangbeard: "Big, big, big general, small, small, be careful!"

There are only a few hundred bandits under his command, but he is embarrassed to call him a general. He is really a dead man. Huang Yan remembered that he gave a vague response at that time, and after reacting from the panic, he took a few steps back to watch them attack the Xiangsi.

Although the county soldiers were not prepared, they had a high wall as a barrier and could not attack for a long time. Hood said: "Great, Great General! This village temple has a high wall, and it is really difficult to attack. Why don't you set it on fire!"

Huang Yan was startled.

Attacking the village temple was not what he wanted, and then set fire to the village temple? Wouldn't this offend Xun Zhen to death? But the situation is stronger than people, but he didn't dare to refuse, he nodded randomly at that time.

Hood then ordered dozens of thieves to run outside the wall and lit rockets with torches. In an instant, the arrows were fired, and the fire snakes flew into the village temple. Some people shouted loudly inside, and the fire was everywhere. Unfortunately, they were understaffed and had no time to put it out. For a time, the temple was in a hurry and made a mess. The county soldiers guarding the wall were half-hearted and looked back at the fire in the temple. Several county soldiers were hit by rockets and rolled down the wall screaming. A dozen or so thieves rushed to the door, holding their shields, and knocked open the temple gate.

Once the gate of the temple is broken, the township temple cannot be defended.

Huang Yan was like eating Huanglian, and his mouth was full of bitterness, and he knew that Xun Zhen was offended by this. While he was annoyed, the bandit soldiers cheered for a while. The bandit soldiers who rushed into the temple first ran out of the temple: "General! I have caught Gou Qiangfu, and all the Goujun soldiers have captured them too! Please come in."

Huang Yan really didn't want to enter, but he couldn't help himself.

Hood asked him: "Gou Qiangfu and Goujun soldiers, follow the old rules of the past?"

The old rule that Hood was talking about was the old rule for counties, counties and cities that would not surrender when he was in the Yellow Turbans.

Huang Yan was helpless and replied, "Okay, okay."

Hood immediately sent an order: "The general's order, the dog Qiangfu was burned, and the county guards are all pitted."

Huang Yan's eyelids twitched. He knew that Hu De had deliberately asked to prevent him from returning to Xun Zhen, but what if he didn't agree?

Hu De and others surrounded the yellow beard and came to the inner hall of the temple. After finally sitting in the lobby, Huang Yan's legs softened. This time out of the mountain, he burned the village temple, the village Qiangfu, and the Kengjun soldier. Even though Huang Beard was reluctant to betray Xun Zhen, he could never turn back.

Those who followed Huang Yan into the hall were all the leaders of the thieves. Eyes twitched on their bloodstained armor, swords, and their beaming faces, Huangbeard was disheartened, not knowing what to say to them.

These leaders also underestimated Huang Beard. They underestimated him for surrendering Xun Zhen. It was only because Huang Beard was the most famous among the rest of their Yellow Turbans that they forced him to rebel and respected him as the leader. .

At this moment, these leaders are sitting on the ground, talking loudly, laughing from time to time, and no one pays attention to Huangbeard.

They don't talk to Huang Beard, Huang Beard's heart is like a numbness, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to them, so he just pretends to be sleepy. He squinted and tilted his head up and down. He just pretended to sleep for a while when Hood entered the lobby: "General, General, please go and watch, watch, watch the ointment."

This ointment is also an old rule among their Yellow Turbans. Huang Yan really didn't want to go, so he made an excuse not to go because he was tired, but he didn't dare to say it, so he stood up helplessly and went out. The leaders stopped talking and went out with great interest.

The bodies of the soldiers and thieves who died in the battle had been moved to one place and piled up in the center of the courtyard. The torches were shining brightly everywhere, reflecting the daytime in the courtyard. More than a dozen captured county officers and village officials were tied into a line, stripped naked, and digging pits under the surveillance of a dozen bandits. Several bandits were pouring water to the ground to clean up the blood. Huang Yan didn't want to look more, and followed behind Hood without looking sideways.

After the second door, there is a shadow wall in front.

The villager of this township lost his clothes and hat, was tied tightly, and threw it on the edge of the shadow wall. There was a pile of clothes pulled from the soldiers of the county under his feet. Huang Yan came over, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to spit fire.

Hood took the torch handed by a thief soldier, smiled and said to Huang Beard: "General, General, please, please watch the ointment." When he lost his hand, the torch fell on the clothes, and there was wine and flames sprinkled on the clothes. Immediately jumped up the old high.

Huang Yan reluctantly showed a smile, looked at Huoyao Qiangfu, and cursed inwardly: "Shuzi! Don't you want to force me to defect to the lieutenant? It's another false rumor that I ordered Huoyao Xiangfu to burn down, and it forced me to see Huoyaoxiangfu. "

The flames instantly surrounded this Xiang Qiangfu, scorching his clothes and running up, his beard and hair were immediately on fire, and the rags in his mouth were also on fire. past.

The burning pain awakened this Xiang Qiangfu from the coma. After a while, both legs were cooked, and the meat was fragrant. This Qiang husband couldn't hold it any longer, and there was a begging look in his eyes. This begging look is not begging for mercy, but begging for a quick death.

Hood remained calm, and the leaders pointed and commented.

One person said regretfully: "How come his mouth is gagged? It's a fly in the ointment that he can't hear the screams to add to the fun."

"This thief Qiangfu's mouth is not clean, Nai Gong didn't want to hear him making noise, so he blocked his mouth."

Huang Yan has always been dissatisfied with Hu De, but he agrees with Hu De's words. Fortunately, he blocked the mouth of this Xiang Qiangfu, otherwise he would not know what threatening words he would swear. Huang Yan didn't want to hear a word, and he didn't dare to listen.

After watching the ointment, more than a dozen county officers and village officials were buried alive. The crowd returned to the hall, gathered wine and meat, set up a banquet, and ate and drank wine.

Huang Man knew that after his defeat, Hu De and Wang Dang got on the line, and it was Wang Dang's idea for Hu De to coerce him to defect from Xun Zhen this time. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Huang Yan is a smart person. Although Hood didn't tell him about Wang Dang in detail, he just heard about it in bits and pieces, but he could guess it. It must be Wang Dang's fear of Xun. Zhen, so I wanted to use Hu De et al. and the "rebel general" Huang Yan to attract Xun Zhen's attention, but unfortunately he could see it, but Hu De et al couldn't. .

The little handsome who thought it was a fly in the ointment when watching the paste said: "I heard that Wang Dang and Chu Feiyan are preparing to fight in the near future." He turned to look for Huang Beard, "General, why don't we vote for them! And go to the brothers who stayed in Laozhai. , and the strong man who voted for me recently, I am now there are three or five hundred people, plus the famous name of the Yellow Turban Road, after he is done, whatever happens, I can also change for wealth."

Someone sneered and said: "Three to five hundred people, do you want to change to rich and noble? Wang Dang's army is relatively small, only more than 3,000 people, but Chu Feiyan's command is less than tens of thousands of people. How can I wait for such a few people? In your eyes?"

Huang Yan was frightened by Xun Zhen's beating, and laughed secretly: "The million-strong Yellow Turban army has been wiped out, and you still expect the tens of thousands of Chu Feiyan to succeed? I really don't know whether to live or die."

(To be continued)

Although he thinks that these old minions of his are dead and alive, but now he is being coerced into a "rebellion", and in addition to sneering, it is more of a heavy heart for him. His heavy mind has been maintained to this day. He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the peaks in the distance, and sighed heavily. The weather was getting warmer, and the epidemic outside the mountain should have stopped soon. .

But what can he do?

Not only was he coerced into a betrayal, but he also burned to death a villager who was under the rule of Xun Zhen.
