Chapter 24 Master Guan Returns to the Green Forest (2)
Let's say that Suo Chao rode into the city and saw that the Green Forest Army and horses were all fearful and uncertain about their positions in the east and west. Suo Chao looked over speculatively and saw that the Green Forest Army's clothes were thin and their armor was covered with crystal ice. Suo Chao was slightly
He smiled. No matter how powerful the Green Forest Army was, they could not defeat the sky. Without logistical supplies, these people were shivering from the cold. How could they fight with me? God was really helping me! Suo Chao was filled with joy and immediately ordered three hundred troops and horses.
Suddenly rushed out of the city.
Suo Chao didn't answer, pointed his ax, and the three armies came straight towards him.
The two armies met, and soon the Green Forest troops and horses scattered and fled. Shi Jin taught the navy leader Tong Wei and Zhang Shun, wearing soft combat, reining in their horses and raising their spears, and came to meet the enemy. The two of them worked together to fight Suo Chao, and Suo Chao turned out to be true.
It's amazing. After only three or two rounds, the two of them looked at each other and abandoned their guns and ran away, especially attracting Suo Chao to rush to the edge of the pit. Suo Chao was such a hot-tempered person, how could he think too much about it? He led his troops and rushed here.
There was a road on one side and a stream on the other. Zhang Shun abandoned his horse and jumped into the river, facing forward, shouting: "Commander, hurry up!"
Suo Chao heard this and looked forward. Sure enough, there was a handsome flag hurriedly turning from the foot of the mountain. Suo Chao wanted to capture Shi Jin alive. He was desperate and rushed over on Pegasus. At this time, there was a sound of cannons behind the mountain and gunpowder.
It exploded among Suo Chao's men and horses. Suo Chao was looking back, but both the man and the horse fell down. There were ambushes from behind, killing the officers and soldiers in four quarters. Even though Suo Chao had three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape.
A disaster.
Shi Jin won the victory, and the generals in the city tightly closed the city gates. When the Green Forest Army reached the city head, the people on the city wall became the targets of hostage. The Green Forest Army hesitated to take action, but let them
The officers and soldiers got the opportunity and shot down random arrows, forcing the Green Forest Army to retreat again. But Shi Jin won a victory, especially capturing Suo Chao alive, and felt it was worth it, so he set up camp ten miles outside Kyoto.
Suo Chao was kidnapped back to the Green Forest Army camp. Shi Jin untied him as usual and offered him a seat and wine, but Suo Chao refused. Even if he was invited to come out of Guan Sheng, Lin Chong came to persuade him in turn, but it was still useless. Shi Jin
Apart from the courtesy, there was nothing he could do. Suo Chao could not let him go back, otherwise it would be difficult to capture Kyoto, which he had been attacking for several days. But I heard from Lin Chong that there was one person who could persuade Suo Chao, and this person was none other than
It was Yang Zhi, whom he had known "without fighting" in Daming Mansion. When Shi Jin learned about it, he immediately sent people to Chang'an to fetch Yang Zhi.
At this time, except for Tong Guan, there was only a group of useless civil and military personnel in the city. I don’t know who leaked the news of Suo Chao’s capture. Fear and joy spread at approximately the same speed in the city, and some people even started to prepare to light up lanterns.
Tong Guan sat alone in the empty central courtyard, clenching his fists tightly without saying a word, and cold sweat soaked his slightly bent back. Tong Guan knew that there were no big names in his hands, and Zhang Qing was his
The imperial court was already in turmoil, and every step on the road to the end was like walking on thin ice. At this time of uncertainty, Tong Guan also began to make plans for his own future.
The dignitaries in the city began to turn from fear to restlessness, from restlessness to madness. They had not seen the Holy Emperor or Cai Jing for several days. Although no one said it directly, everyone knew that the Holy Emperor had left here long ago. Many nobles in the imperial city
Afraid of the invasion of the Green Forest Army, they packed up their belongings and crowded them under each door, asking for the door to be opened to escape. There were more and more pushing and shoving disputes with the garrisoned sergeants. The situation began to escalate, and restlessness and violence in the city could be seen everywhere. A
He hurriedly reported to Tong Guan. At this moment, internal and external troubles broke out at the same time, making Tong Guan very anxious.
Tong Guan didn't want to clean up such a mess any more. The more important news was weighing heavily on his heart, almost making him breathless for the past two days. According to the secret report, all the soldiers and horses of the Protector Saint died unexpectedly.
On a desolate hill, only Cai Jing and the dragon body of the Holy Lord were missing, and no clues were left. It would be fine if the Holy Lord died, and a new leader would be established, but now life and death were uncertain, so Tong Guan
Suddenly all hope was lost.
It's time to consider a retreat for yourself.
At that moment, Tong Guan secretly recruited Zhang Qing, and ordered a large family to quietly pack up their valuable belongings and hand them over to Zhang Qing, and asked Zhang Qing to escort them to Hangzhou, where Tong Guan had bought a piece of property, which was enough for them to remain anonymous.
For half a lifetime, Tong Guan picked out his elite forces, put them in disguise, and handed them over to Zhang Qing, asking him to take care of his family.
That night, Zhang Qing quietly opened the North Gate with Tong Guan's privileges and left Kyoto. However, Zhang Qing did not take Tong Guan's family to Hangzhou, but instead went to the camp of the Green Forest Army.
