Chapter 264: 263 The Dust Settles
Chapter 264 The Dust Settles
Somewhere in the wild.
Zhou Jing pushed aside the blades of grass, stopped on a flat ground, and put down the unconscious Ma Zhen on his shoulders.
He left with a single blow to the imperial army, and had already thrown off the enemy. At this time, he was in a place where no one was there, so he could rest for the time being.
“You son of a bitch, wake me up.”
Zhou Jing was not polite, and slapped Ma Zhen a few times in the face, causing his cheeks to become red and swollen.
Ma woke up in shock, his cheeks were burning, his blank eyes quickly focused and fell on Zhou Jing.
Seeing the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, Ma Zhen immediately remembered what happened before he passed out, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, but soon his face showed a look of anger, and he gritted his teeth:
“Chen Thief!”
“Oh, you still dare to be arrogant?” Zhou Jing raised his brows and said savagely: “You set up a plan to flood the lake and Yang, killing people I don’t know how many people, and now it’s in my hands, it’s both evil and evil. Report!”
Ma Zhen’s cheeks twitched, and he shouted: “Chen thief, you don’t have to look good in front of this commander! It’s just a fluke that you are better than our army. If that Lingfengzi follows my orders, uses supernatural powers, and learns to attack the city and pull out the village, you will This group of thieves has long been my defeat!”
Zhou Jing is happy:
“You can’t command that Daoist, so what’s the deal with me? Besides, if it wasn’t for that Daoist to help the officers and soldiers, you would have been defeated long ago. Do you really think that with the officers and soldiers, you can conquer Grandpa?”
Ma Zhen’s expression froze.
At this time, Zhou Jing had some bad taste and deliberately sneered:
“Speaking of which, I went to Dingbokou for disaster relief a few days ago, and I happened to meet that Lingfengzi. I thought he was ordered by the court to stop me, but he came to help me block the river bank. Stop the flood, claiming that this move is for the common people… Hey, you really failed to be the coach. Such a master does not give you face at all. It can be seen that your poisonous plan has never been discussed with him, which caused that person to be estranged from you. ”
When Ma Zhen heard the words, his eyes were split, and he roared hoarsely:
“Ling Fengzi, ruin my plan, the most important thief of the country!”
Although he had a hunch that his plan of extinction might be destroyed by the real Yufeng, he was still very resentful when he got confirmation from Chen Feng.
Zhou Jing smacked his lips and continued to pierce his heart:
“Fortunately, you are a narrow-minded fellow. If it wasn’t for the two of you being in turmoil, forcing that Lingfengzi to act alone and not beside you to protect me, I wouldn’t be able to attack you.”
Hearing this, Ma was shocked, angry and regretful.
But then, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that all this is the plan of the Taoist… He deliberately turned against him under the pretext of disaster relief, but he actually took the opportunity to leave the camp and let the enemy take advantage of it to attack him and kill him with a knife?
Ma Zhen was shocked, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He was 80% sure that this matter was inseparable from Lingfengzi.
He was not afraid to judge Lingfengzi with the greatest malice, and was full of resentment in his heart, so he directly determined Lingfengzi.
—This real Yufeng, who seems to be out of the dust, is in fact extremely insidious.
Zhou Jing saw this guy’s expression was distorted, and stopped teasing, the corner of his mouth grinned:
“Anyway, the boat is done, you are already my defeated general, gossip is useless… After returning to the cottage, I will treat you well, otherwise how can I be worthy of your vicious heart?”
Ma Zhen regained his senses, suppressed his panic, and did not want to show a state of begging for mercy, so he gritted his teeth and said:
“If you want to kill, kill, don’t want me to beg for mercy, this commander is a general after the founding of the country, benefiting the descendants of the country, loyal to the monarch from generation to generation, and serving the court, how can I be afraid of you being a traitor? To die for the country, die without regret, and You thief will bring disaster to the world, you will die without a place to be buried in the future, this commander is waiting for you under Jiuquan!”
Hearing this, Zhou Jing suddenly showed a hideous smile:
“Don’t worry, Grandpa won’t let you be alone in the underworld for too long. In the future, I will slaughter all the Yiguo Gong clan, leaving no chickens and dogs. I will dig up your ancestral grave, expose the corpse in the wilderness, and send it all to you to do. A companion, let you have a prominent family background under Jiuquan, come to a reunion for generations, and ten generations in the same house.”
“The thief dares!”
Ma Zhen was furious.
“Oh, if one life pays for one life, even if you pay for your nine clans, chop them all into mashed meat and cut them into pieces, it will not be enough for you to flood Huyang and cause casualties.”
After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he didn’t speak anymore. He chopped down with a knife, knocking out the emotional Ma Zhen.
After resting for a while, he had recovered a lot of physical strength, picked up Ma Zhen again, and continued on his return journey.
…
the other side.
Because Chen Feng attacked Huanglong and captured the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the morale of the officers and soldiers plummeted and they panicked.
In an emergency, Yu Wenyan and others suppressed their panic, shouted and restrained the soldiers, took over the command, ordered the officers and soldiers to stand by, and sent sentries to chase after them symbolically.
Naturally, there was no gain. Chen Feng had already run away without a trace, and he didn’t even leave their butts to eat. He was very stingy.
The coach fell into the enemy’s hands and should not be ignored according to common sense, but Yu Wenyan and other generals summed up and felt that Ma Zhen could not be taken back, and most of them had already been killed. The army of Longwangzhai caught up.
Thinking about it, everyone reluctantly decided to sacrifice themselves to protect the army, leave the coach and continue to evacuate.
—Ma Dashuai is a general who is dedicated to the country, if Izumi knows about it, he will definitely agree.
So the officers and soldiers marched again and continued to withdraw from Huyang. They were always on guard on the road, fearing that Chen Feng would visit again, they all became startled.
However, he was worried all the way, and it was all useless. Chen Feng was like an old cow who didn’t eat back grass. He had never attacked this large army of officers and soldiers again. Yu Wenyan and others only felt that they were throwing their eyes at the blind.
But they were able to evacuate smoothly, everyone was already satisfied, and they couldn’t help but feel the joy of escaping.
“This expedition has been unsuccessful. If the flooding plan is broken again, then the general trend of anti-thieves has been completed…”
The setting sun on the horizon is like blood. On a small hill, Yuwenyan pulled back his horse and looked at the landscape of Huyang in the distance, sighing in his heart.
I still remember how high-spirited it was when the imperial court ordered three generals to lead the troops out of the capital.
But now he is the only one left on his way home, Ma Zhen and Huang Ping are both in rivals, Yu Wenyan inevitably has a kind of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox, and things are wrong.
“After returning to Beijing, I don’t know how much to eat…”
Yu Wenyan pursed his lips.
Now that he has calmed down, he realizes that Ma Zhen’s capture is both beneficial and detrimental to his situation.
The advantage of is that some faults can be pushed to the head coach. The downside is that it is impossible to escape all responsibility with this. As the only remaining one of the three hand-picked generals, he will definitely become the target of public criticism and face the accountability of the storm.
As for the Lingfengzi who helped the anti-thief and disaster relief, can it be used to dump the pot…
Yu Wenyan was a little swayed.
Ma Zhen planned to do this at the beginning, but Yu Wenyan’s statement at the time was mainly to echo the coach’s intentions and stand firm.
And now that the coach is gone, no one is picking the lead. Yu Wenyan has to reconsider the pros and cons, and he doesn’t really want to be the leader.
While he was pondering, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky and flew quickly.
Yu Wenyan came back to his senses, and immediately recognized that it was the real Yufeng, and his face changed.
Not long after, Lingfengzi descended on the hill.
“Real man, you are back.”
Yu Wenyan took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, and greeted in a deep voice.
Ling Fengzi nodded, and without waiting for the other party to ask questions, he took the lead in hitting back:
“Where is General Ma? Why did he withdraw his troops without waiting for Pindao, causing Pindao to search for a long time.”
Hearing this, Yuwenyan immediately felt the pain of the stallion shaking his feet with a rock.
“Good to teach real people to know, the commander was captured by Chen Thief…”
He had to tell the truth and told the process again.
Lingfengzi frowned: “General Ma acted like this to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He deliberately did not wait for the poor road to cause this disaster.”
Yu Wenyan gritted his teeth, and asked in a deep voice, “You can’t blame the commander for this. What’s the reason for the real person not obeying the general’s order and leaving the camp abruptly to help the rebels and rescue the disaster?”
“Oh? General Yuwen also wants to blame me?”
Lingfengzi’s face did not change.
Yu Wenyan clenched his teeth and clasped his fists, and did not back down: “I dare not, it’s just a real person’s move, and there needs to be a public opinion in the end.”
Lingfengzi glanced at him and said casually: “You don’t have to worry about this matter, I will share with the sage, if you don’t trust the poor road, the poor road will return to Beijing on his own.”
“Cough, that’s not what I meant, I just talk about the stakes to the real person, and have no other intentions… The carriage is ready, the real person, let’s go and rest.”
Hearing the words, Yu Wenyan quickly changed his mouth, gave a stiff smile, and stopped entangled in this topic.
No matter what is wrong with this person’s disaster relief behavior, it should be judged by the Holy One. In any case, when the real Yufeng came back, all the soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about Chen Feng leaving and returning, so he repeated the sneak attack.
Yu Wenyan didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of the coach, so seeing the real person saying this, he immediately changed his attitude, not wanting to care about like Ma Zhen, so as not to offend the real person.
Ling Fengzi nodded indifferently, then found his own disciples’ team, walking with the officers and soldiers, as if nothing had happened.
…
Xinghe end of the fourteenth year.
Officers and soldiers from all walks of life withdrew from Huyang one after another, indicating that the court’s expedition had failed and it was a foregone conclusion.
The leader of the thieves, Chen Feng, revolted and the imperial court failed. This was an irreparable damage to the prestige of the Daxia court.
At the same time, Longwangzhai revealed the truth of the flood disaster, using the court commanders Ma Zhen and Huang Ping as witnesses, claiming that these two were the masterminds of digging the embankment and flooding Huyang, disregarding the life and death of the local people.
Once the news of came out, the people of the various states in Huyang were outraged and angry, and their hatred for the imperial court rose to a new level.
Seeing that the situation was not good, officials from all over the country abandoned the city early and fled.
After this section, the people of Huyang can be said to have completely given up on the imperial court. As for Chen Feng, who solved the flood disaster, his reputation skyrocketed, and he was almost regarded as a living Buddha of all families.
The hearts of the people in Huyang go to Chen Feng.
The masterminds of this time, Ma Zhen and Huang Ping, were publicly executed, and they were tortured to death by lingering and screaming day and night.
After these two nobles, the more prominent the family background, the more resentful the people, and the happier they saw.
The corpses of the two were hanged by Chen Feng at the city gate of the capital of a prefecture, and the corpses were exposed to the public.
On the other side, after the imperial army was expelled, Longwangzhai no longer clings to Yueshan Lake, and sent troops to formally occupy the cities and towns of various prefectures. There was no resistance on the way, but was welcomed by many people.
In this battle, the officers and soldiers were defeated, and Chen Fengjun officially separated Huyang and took one of the twenty-four provinces from the imperial court. He was the first rebel who rebelled and dared to be the first in the world.
The smoke of the beacon ignited, and the general trend of division began.
And this result quickly spread all over the North and South, shaking the world!
