Bright Spring

At this moment, Jin Zhong suddenly felt something was wrong!He immediately shouted: "Stop! Stop for a while! Uh..."

Everyone's mounts gradually slowed down, and the sound of horseshoes in the distance to the south became more and more obvious!A sergeant next to Jin Zhong didn't need to do anything, jumped off his horse and bowed his head to the ground to listen.

"Cavalry! I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred horses!" The sergeant shouted.

People panicked, and the eunuch blurted out, "Whose team is this?"

Of course Jin Zhong didn't know either!But he thought about it for a while: the rebel army can't cross the river for the time being, and if the rebel army visits the horse, they don't need so many people.After Jin Zhong thought about it, he opened his mouth and responded, "Zhang Fu."

Why did Zhang Fu come over suddenly in the early hours of the morning?The voices in the crowd grew louder.

But everyone reined in and waited, and people could neither be sure what had happened nor what to do about it.

In an instant, Jin Zhong suddenly remembered the scene of watching the execution of criminals when he was in Wuchang Mansion!The same is true of those who know they must die.

Jin Zhong suddenly became flustered, and he also became flustered!But he was going to deliver the decree, and he was already close to the goal, should he just give up and turn back?What's more, at the moment, it is still unclear who came and what it is for.

So Jin Zhong, like those prisoners, knew that the danger was approaching, but waited where he was and did nothing.The situation was urgent, but Jin Zhong couldn't come up with a temporary solution!

It didn't take long before the flames on the south side of the post road got closer and closer.Jin Zhong and others hurried on their way, also holding torches to light their way. At this time, their troops had obvious targets under the night sky!Sure enough, after the cavalry in the distance approached, it gradually slowed down and approached Jin Zhong's side one after another; it was obvious that the cavalry that came was aimed at Jin Zhong and the others.

In the light of the fire, Zhang Fu slapped his horse and rushed to the front, clasped his fists and said: "Jin Butang came, why didn't he make a sound? I'm going to be far away to welcome you!"

Jin Zhong held his breath and said, "Why do you want me to greet you in person?"

After Zhang Fu and others approached, the strong, well-trained cavalry suddenly patted their horses and made a detour to both sides of the post road!Before people could react, Ma Jun had already surrounded Jin Zhong and others!There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone panicked even more. Many people were looking left and right, and some people kept asking.

Jin Zhong also frowned and asked, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Zhang Fu said coldly: "This place is already a battlefield, and I would have worried about the safety of Jinbutang."

Jin Zhong's face was flushed, knowing that his face was about to be torn apart, he immediately scolded: "Mr. Yingying, you actually arranged private eyes and ears at the post station to monitor court officials. What do you want to do?"

Zhang Fu clasped his fists and said: "To each other, this general is still the 'Pinghan General' personally appointed by the Holy Majesty, isn't he also being watched by spies secretly sent by Jinbutang? Jinbutang, what are you here for, why don't you tell me quickly? ?”

Jin Zhong took a deep breath and said to himself: Zhang Fu is also a cunning person. He should have guessed at this time that the fact that he hid the "spies" in the Zhongjun Xingyuan before was revealed.

Jin Zhong's voice was quick and amiable, and he said: "My colleagues in the Ministry of War think that the battle strategy sent by the British Duke is inappropriate, and they are afraid that the British Duke will suffer losses. The Ministry of War urgently ordered the British Duke to cancel the strategy immediately and lead the army back to Changsha City!"

"Where is the thing?" Zhang Fu asked.

Jin Zhong took out the military order of the Ministry of War.

Zhang Fu took it over and looked it over, and suddenly said: "What are your intentions? How dare you use fake seals, did you fall into the trap of the rebels and spies?!"

Jin Zhong was furious, just as he was about to speak, suddenly a general rushed out from Zhang Fu's side, with a "shua", the sword flashed!

"Keep people under the sword!" Zhang Fu said urgently.

But before the words fell, there was a "crack", and a stream of blood spurted into the air, splashing on the torch with a "squeak".Jin Zhong only felt a tingling pain and a coldness on his neck, and then he saw that it was dark all around.In an instant he understood it in his heart, but it soon became blurred.

... Jin Zhong didn't even make a sound, so he covered his neck with his hands, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell off his mount limply!Everyone around was shocked, and the post road became dead silent in an instant!

"I fucked your mother! Is there something iron in your head?" Zhang Fu's expression also changed, and he blurted out a curse.Of course he wasn't scolding Jin Zhong, his eyes were fixed on the general who made a sudden move.

That general is Zhang Fu's confidant, named Shi You.

Shiyou's father was a thousand-family man who had followed Zhang Fu to the Annan Kingdom; in the bloody battle in Duobang City, all the soldiers under Shiyou's father's command were wiped out, and he himself was bloody and bloody under the Battle City!Shiyou, who was less than 20 years old, inherited his father and took up the post of Qianhu.

After Zhang Fu took over the military power of the "Ping Han Army", he mobilized many local guards under his command, and Shi You was also in the army.Zhang Fu doesn't dislike Shi You for being young and inexperienced; for his father's sake, and seeing that Shi You is loyal, upright and brave, Zhang Fu takes care of Shi You in many ways!He also found an opportunity to ask Shiyou for credit, and he was promoted to the military position of commanding Tongzhi.

But Zhang Fu didn't even realize in his dreams: young people tend to be impulsive when doing things, and their brains grow on their buttocks!

Zhang Fu said with a painful expression on his face: You fucking fucked me up!

Zhang Fu's complicated emotions were only for a moment. At this time, everyone was shocked and surprised, and almost hadn't reacted yet.But Zhang Fu immediately understood that now is not the time to blame others!

He quickly ordered: "Kill! No one can stay!"

Immediately there were several screams on the post road, and all the cavalry officers and soldiers rushed into the imperial court's imperial envoy with their weapons in their hands.At this time, Zhang Fu's subordinates were all warriors. Hearing the commander's military orders, they didn't care about the reason. The warriors were very cruel when they saw the blood.

After some confusion, a large number of corpses were left on the ground, including human corpses and horse corpses. Some empty horses hadn't run away yet, standing still and neighing.

Zhang Fu asked, "Has anyone escaped?"

Shi You's voice said: "Marshal, no one should run away!"

"Should?" Zhang Fu was already very angry, but now he looked at Shi You with red eyes and resentment.

Zhang Fu listened for a while, and then shouted: "Check again, and make sure there are no survivors."

"Order!"

Zhang Fu himself jumped off the horse, squatted beside Jin Zhong's body, and rummaged through it with his hands.After a while, Zhang Fu found an imperial edict!He unfolded it and looked at it, then hurriedly stuffed it into his arms.

At this time, the young Shiyou also flattered and returned.Seeing Zhang Fu with a bad expression, Shi You looked apologetic, and said, "Don't be angry, Commander, I will listen to Jinbutang's disrespectful words..."

Zhang Fu thought that he could still use such a person, so he immediately suppressed his anger and said expressionlessly, "You did the right thing!"

Shi You hurriedly said: "The final general wishes to be loyal to the commander-in-chief!"

Zhang Fu nodded, looked around and said: "These people look suspicious, but they are court officials! The brothers present all have the blood of court officials and palace envoys on their hands; if you are caught, the whole family will be executed! No one is allowed to speak out."

He paused for a while, and then shouted: "Brothers, follow me. This commander will lead you to get promoted and get rich!"

All the soldiers responded one after another: "Decree!"

Zhang Fu ordered: "Hide the corpse and return to the camp!"

Chapter 562 I'm so happy

"It's not too late! I can't wait for the army to reach the other side of Hengzhou, so let's do it now." Zhang Fu said to Liu Sheng in a deep voice.

Liu Sheng held the imperial decree in his hand, the imperial decree written by the emperor of Ming Dynasty and stamped with a seal!There were blood stains on it.His hands were shaking gently and quickly!Liu Sheng also came from the "Battle of Jingnan", a military commander who has experienced hundreds of battles and killed people like hemp; but this incident also made him terrified.

Sure enough, the truly terrible thing is not necessarily the scene of corpses strewn all over the battlefield.

But Liu Sheng was only stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded, "Do it!"

Zhang Fu's eyes were red and wide open.He stared at Liu Sheng, but suddenly showed a crazy smile: "General Liu, you are happy!"

Zhang Fu solemnly nodded his head slowly, stood up abruptly, walked out of a broken tile house quickly, and said, "Beat the drums! The order has changed, the military situation has changed; there are more than a thousand generals in the land division, and each of the navy divisions is in danger." The captains, generals, civilian officials and eunuchs accompanying the army all went to the central army to discuss tactics!"

The personal soldier clasped his fists and said, "Decree!"

Zhang Fu and Liu Sheng immediately entered a state of combat readiness.The necessary talent for a general is to make impromptu decisions no matter how the situation on the battlefield changes and is unpredictable!

Right now the situation is very urgent, there is no room for any roundabout mediation, it is simply life or death.
