Liu Zhang knelt down and looked at the body, which had no human shape. There was no sword wound on the body. It was trampled to death. Looking at the red stripe on the hilt of the sword, Liu Zhang felt sour in his heart. He took off the red strip and tightened it tightly.
Holding it tightly in his hand, he stood up slowly and said to Zhang Ren: "Pursue the rebels. Pang Xi's trusted followers will leave no one behind."
"Yes." Zhang Ren responded loudly and led the army towards Brazil.
In the city of Brazil, at the villa that Pang Xi opened for the Qu family, the housekeeper rushed to the inner courtyard and shouted: "Master, it's not good, Master, it's not good, Pang Xi has been defeated, Pang Xi has been defeated."
"What?" An old man ran out of the back room with a shocked look on his face. It was Qu Zhen, the leader of the Qu tribe, shouting in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again, how could Pang Xi's 30,000-strong army be defeated?"
The steward said: "It's true. Pang Xi was really defeated and he was killed. Now Liu Zhang's army is following the defeated soldiers into the city. Those defeated soldiers are fleeing from the east city. Sir, let's go too."
"It's over, it's over." Qu Zhen staggered back a few steps. Pang Xi rebelled, and the Qu family was the one who funded the most money and food. Many of his own family members served as officials and generals under Pang Xi. His nephew Qu Tian even followed Pang Xi and became a
Pang Xi's cronies, if Liu Zhang leads the army to attack...
Qu Zhen shuddered when he thought of the three imprisoned clan leaders in Jiangzhou, and hurriedly said to the housekeeper: "Don't panic, don't panic, we people can't run as fast as the army, let me think of a way, let me think of a way,
Let me think..."
Qu Zhen kept tapping his forehead, and suddenly an idea came to him, and he said to the housekeeper: "Take all the servants to the Huang Family Courtyard immediately, find Huang Yue, capture him, and move them together to the tea garden outside the south city."
"Yes." The housekeeper hurriedly went to summon the servants.
Qu Zhen put his hands together and looked up to the sky and prayed: "Liu Zhang, you must not be too cold-blooded. Huang Quan is an official under you, so you can't ignore his sister's life."
Liu Zhang entered the Brazilian County House and said to the attendants on the side: "We have to ask the best body repairman to sew up the body of the volunteer, and use the best coffin to bury it. The body cannot rot before the coffin arrives in Chengdu. Do you understand?
?”
"yes."
At this time, a powerful man rushed in from outside covered in blood. His big feet were covered with blood marks on the ground. He said loudly: "Well, my lord, I have arrested many noble families for you. Those people wanted to drag their families and escape, but I arrested them all."
Get up."
Liu Zhang said angrily: "Who asked you to arrest so many noble families? My order is to find Miss Huang Yue first, and then arrest the noble families after you find her. Those people have properties in Brazil, can they still escape?"
"But, I can't find it." He drooped his head.
Liu Zhang was angry when he saw this idiot, but he was so powerful that he led his cavalry among the enemy troops. Five hundred cavalry were reduced to only a dozen. He didn't know how many injuries he suffered. Seeing how he was covered in blood, he didn't know.
So harsh, he sighed and said: "Okay, okay, you go down to heal your injuries first. I will arrange for someone else to deal with Miss Huang Yue."
After Hao Sheng left, Fazheng said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, if you arrest those noble families, do you want to follow the example of Jiangzhou?"
Liu Zhang said: "If I do that, will you agree?"
"cannot."
"That's right." Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "The matter in Jiangzhou is unavoidable. I am too benevolent but do not know kindness, and I am too harsh but do not know power. I have been guarding Yizhou for several years. I have always been tolerant and benevolent, so that those noble families have taken advantage of their power and become arrogant.
, I have to kill them as a warning to others, but after all, it is impossible to kill them all. If I kill one group, the next group of noble families will rise up. After all the harshness, I should be lenient. Brazil, I will only kill Pang Xi’s close associates, and not the rest.
But after all, they are funding the rebel party, so it is still necessary to arrest them and give them a warning."
Fazheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Zhang: "In this way, the affairs of the family should not be urgent. Now the remnants of Pang Xi are fleeing eastward. Although Pang Xi is dead, he is still a serious danger. We should pursue him closely. We must
Total annihilation."
Liu Zhang nodded: "I think so too, but I'm just a little worried about Miss Huang Yue. Logically speaking, she can't avoid seeing us when we enter the city. I'm really worried about something happening to her."
At this time, the general Yang Huai suddenly came to report: "My lord, according to reports from Nancheng, the Qu family took Miss Huang Yue hostage and went south. Her whereabouts are unknown."
"What?" Liu Zhang changed his color instantly and said sternly: "Did his Qu family eat the guts of a leopard? Wang Xu, immediately gather your soldiers and follow me to the south to pursue them."
"Yes." Wang Xu took the order and left.
Fazheng immediately stepped forward and said: "My lord, what should I do with the remnants of Pang Xi?"
"Tell Zhang Ren to chase him."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the county with his soldiers. Fazheng had no choice but to order Yang Huai to lead 3,000 troops to protect him.
Xiaoyang Mountain is a tea mountain, the property of the Qu family in the southern suburbs of Brazil. Every spring and summer, the terraced fields set off a wave of green. Unfortunately, now in late autumn, it is all yellow, with the mountain covered with dead trees and broken leaves.
The Qu family's villa is just at the foot of the mountain, covering an area of over a thousand acres and surrounded by high walls. At this time, thousands of troops gathered outside, and the heads of the Qu family's servants who poked their heads out of the wall from time to time were full of fear.
"Listen to the Qu family, let Miss Huang Yue go immediately. Mr. Zhou Mu will spare your life, otherwise, the whole family will be killed."
Liu Zhang looked at the ten-meter-high wall with cold eyes. As long as he gave the order, he could immediately raze this place to the ground. After Yang Huai shouted, a head popped out from inside. It was Qu Zhen. Qu Zhen shrank his head and shouted outward:
"Sir Zhou Mu is famous, and the little old man is like thunder. The incident in Jiangzhou is still fresh in my memory. How can I dare to hurt the woman whom Master Zhou Mu values but the little old man is really afraid of you, so I beg you to give me a way out and withdraw all the troops.
Go to the border of Brazil so that we can safely move our family out of Yizhou, so that I will return Miss Huang Yue safely and ask for mercy from the state shepherd."
Qu Zhen calculated clearly that if he offended Zhou Mu, he would not be able to stay in Yizhou. Even if Liu Zhang did not attack the Qu family this time, the life of the Qu family would not be easy in the future. What's more, if the sword is in someone else's hand, if Huang is released
Yue, aren't you just a piece of meat on the chopping board? Now seeing Liu Zhang leading his troops to chase her so quickly shows that this little girl Huang Yue is of great value, even more than she expected. Of course she must make good use of it.
Liu Zhang dismissed Yang Huai and stepped forward in person: "Captain Qu, the remnants of Pang Xi's troops are stranded in Brazil. It is absolutely impossible for me to withdraw the troops. If you let Miss Huang go now, I, Liu Zhang, guarantee my reputation and will never touch any of the Qu family."
One person, I can send troops to escort you out of Yizhou, otherwise, I will ask your entire Qu family to die for Miss Huang."
If Huang Yue hadn't come to report Pang Xi early and colluded with Zhang Lu, I don't know what disaster would have happened to Xichuan. If Huang Yue hadn't arranged the internal response, I don't know how many soldiers would have died, and he might have even been defeated. Liu Zhang felt that he owed Huang Yue too much.
, I absolutely don’t want to watch Huang Yue’s misfortune.
"Then let me go back and think about it."
After Qu Zhen returned to the courtyard, his grandson Qu Xi said: "Grandpa, why don't you agree to the conditions of state pastoral care?"
Qu Zhen snorted: "Liu Zhang is always pretentious and will kill people without any warning. At the beginning, Yu An, Zhao Wei, and later the Jiangzhou family, and Pang Xi, who was about to succeed in the rebellion this time, had accepted the order a few days ago.
Liu Zhang's decree was wiped out in a blink of an eye. Who would have known that Liu Zhang was not paralyzing us? Only by holding on to Huang Yue's card can we keep our people safe."
"But Aunt Huang Yue is Uncle Qu Tian's sweetheart."
"How can we care about the love between children at this time? Qu Tian might have been killed by Liu Zhang during the war."
