At this moment, inside and outside Juancheng, it was like a crazy slaughterhouse. Forced by the threat of bandits from the Central Plains, the rule and restraint that had been barely maintained by the East China Sea King's shogunate were gone; tens of thousands of defeated soldiers released their greatest energy as they fought with each other to fight for the road. Fortunately, when everyone was dealing with the imperial officers and soldiers in the Taihang Mountains, they experienced many dangerous scenes. The self-preservation instinct developed by this bandit over many years is indeed something that only a few people can possess. Once everyone realizes that the situation is not good, they immediately seek to escape without any delay. Even so, the group still encountered dangers many times. Along the way, he was caught in huge crowds of people several times, and was almost trampled to pieces; he was also involved in battlefields with random weapons and weapons several times, and was almost cloned by Ten Thousand Blades. All kinds of dangers are simply difficult to describe in words. At this time, everyone was not damaged, which was really a lucky thing. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out According to everyone's thoughts, don't stay in dangerous places anymore. After all, the Central Plains bandit's large group of cavalry was not far away, and no one planned to use Mantis as a chariot. Unexpectedly, for some reason, Zhang Wu suddenly said that he would wait for King Donghai to leave the city His subordinates were inevitably a little confused, and for a while, no one wanted to respond. There is a group of thieves in Funiu Village. It turns out that they are not as hierarchical as in the ordinary army. Although Zhang Wu is the person in charge of this trip, he must consult with everyone on daily matters. At this moment, he didn't get a response after speaking. He was stunned and felt that his idea was a bit abrupt. He reacted very quickly. He immediately turned his horse around and said sincerely: "Everyone, we have worked hard for several months and finally got a foothold in the Central Plains. Recently, relying on your fellow townsmen, relatives, old friends and other relationships, we have gradually made various friends. I can see how alert and decisive you are and how dedicated you are in laying out the sources of intelligence. I originally thought that these results will be beneficial to the military government, and it will be enough to get you high promotions and generous rewards in the future. All this hard work has been in vain. Who would have expected that the Donghai shogunate would be so incompetent" Zhang Wu raised his hand and pointed at the noisy Juancheng behind everyone, and said loudly: "Today, the Donghai shogunate is the last powerful force in the Central Plains. The stronghold and the final force have also fallen into complete collapse. Have you ever thought that almost all of the officials and generals who were deliberately befriended by us will die in this collapse? They will all be completely destroyed! Have you ever thought that the mission that General Pingbei solemnly entrusted to us has undoubtedly failed! You have come with great trust, but have accomplished nothing. What do you have with those people? Different? Why do you want to face General Pingbei? "As he said these words, more and more soldiers and civilians crowded out of the city gate. The successive defeats on the battlefield in the Central Plains have accumulated too much pressure on the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the news that the bandits are approaching in large numbers has become the last straw that breaks their psychological defenses. These collapsed people have no command and no order. They are like a colony of ants that have been smashed into their nests. They are running around aimlessly, clashing and fighting with each other, and emitting cries like wild animals on the verge of death. I don't know who actually set fire to a hayyard on the north side of the official road. Raging flames burst out. Even in the daylight, the red firelight and thick black smoke pillars were still dancing in Zhang Wu's pupils. Incessantly. Everyone was silent for a moment. Some gritted their teeth in a dignified manner, while others sighed in a low voice. When the nearby stragglers saw a group of people riding horses, some became greedy and came over to snatch them. Several of the knights had cold faces, picked up their reins and ran out, waving their swords to disperse them, then turned their horses back, still remaining silent. After a while, someone said in a deep voice: "With the situation at hand, Juancheng cannot be defended, and the King of East China Sea will probably flee soon. However, in the chaos of war, how can we find the King of East China Sea and his party? Even if they are found, With our meager strength, how can we protect them? " "It's easy!" Zhang Wu laughed and pointed to a forest not far to the west, adjacent to the official road: "This is where the King of the East China Sea fled. The only way to go, and deep in this forest is the camp where we raise cattle and horses. There are dozens of Youji horses and several healthy cattle here. I also invited the king of Donghai in the name of donating fine horses. Many capable servants came here to watch. Everyone, after the Central Plains garrison suffered successive defeats, they already lacked animal power. When they set out in a hurry, the shogunate could not be fully prepared When they fled here in embarrassment, would they have thought? Let's do some research and get the cattle and horses from us horse dealers?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately moved. Zhang Wu continued: "As for you saying that you want to protect them Haha, why do we need to protect them? We just need to offer cattle and horses and escape with them. This friendship of sharing weal and woe is enough for us to get the East China Sea Accepted by the royal shogunate, and thus gain more trust, isn't this what General Pingbei wants us to do most?" He stared at the knights with bright eyes and asked, "Let's wait here for a while. . If we can run into someone from the East China Sea King's shogunate, we will go with him. If the bandits from the Central Plains arrive first, we will not delay and escape for our own lives.??Also. How about it? Ok? " The knights looked at each other. Perhaps sensing the master's increasingly high-spirited mentality, the originally tired war horses suddenly raised their heads and neighed one after another. ****** "Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the clan members have When the king was a general or a prime minister, he often led troops. Although they were often defeated, the experience they accumulated in escaping seemed to be no less than that of the bandits in Funiu Village. Since the king of Donghai led his army out of the Central Plains, he has lost countless troops. However, he and the shogunate's relatives were unscathed, and their talents in this area were even more impressive than their peers. As soon as Zhang Wu and others had time to pack up the many livestock, there was a buzz on the official road, and a group of hundreds of cavalry came. The team came at a gallop. Although the official road was congested, the dozens of riders at the front of the cavalry were beating the crowd forcefully, just like the river that had burst its embankment and spilled into the depression outside the river bed. A large number of oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages were wedged in along the gap where the crowd had been dispersed. Even if someone slipped in the mud on the official road and could not get up, the vehicles did not stop, but crushed them mercilessly, trying to speed up. The first half of the team quickly crossed the camp where Zhang Wu and others were, while the second half of the team stretched like a long snake. Many officials in luxurious clothes did not ride and could only stagger along on foot. Sometimes smaller teams would gather and soon disperse due to differences in physical strength. Occasionally, a few packhorses would be seen in the queue, and they would all be harnessed to pull the cart, which was crowded with people. Those who boarded the cart could only hold on to the shaft with both hands and follow on foot. Although the entire queue did not have any flags, Zhang Wu was sure almost instantly that this was the team that was fleeing with the King of the East China Sea. Within a radius of twenty to thirty feet, he recognized five or six high-ranking officials and nobles who had met him once. Just yesterday, he had to kneel down and wait carefully before he could say a few words to them, but now. The situation was completely different. He couldn't help but sneer, his legs lightly clamped on the horse's belly, and he led several of his subordinates to emerge from the forest. Many people struggling on the road looked at this well-equipped team with jealousy. The small cavalry seemed to be cursing something in a low voice, but they were afraid of the swords in the hands of the knights and did not dare to get close. However, after all, Zhang Wu had been traveling around Juancheng for many days, and there were quite a few people who were familiar with him. After a while, someone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang, help me! " The man shouted loudly in the flying dust. He sounded about thirty years old. His face was covered with dust and mud, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Perhaps because he had been in a high position for a long time and was pampered, he had an extremely fat belly. As he Every movement he made was swaying, which was very cumbersome. The man yelled a few times, then he suddenly fell to the ground and gasped, and after a while he continued to shout: "Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang, it¡¯s me! It¡¯s me, Cheng Hui, here! Come to the rescue! "Zhang Wu looked at it from afar, pointed at this person with his whip, and said to the left and right: "This Cheng Hui, Cheng Shuhong, is the son of Cheng Yan in the imperial court, and one of the close ministers of the Donghai King. Now that I have met this person, he is just right for our needs. " Turning his head, he clapped his horse forward. His face had changed into an expression of seven parts surprise and three parts concern, and he was almost on the verge of tears: "Could it be could it be that it's really Mr. Shu Hong? Alas, alashow did you end up in this situation! "
