The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 128

After listening to the report of the scouts, Xun Zhen said to the generals: "Bu Ji has nowhere to go. When he escaped from Puyang, he took two or three thousand people with him, and now there are only less than two thousand left. There is no food and no ships. There is a big river in front of him. , there is no way to advance or retreat, the turtle in this urn is also, it is not difficult to destroy, the only thing to worry about: it is necessary to prevent him from abandoning the bandit soldiers and cross the river with relatives and confidence."

Cangting is near the Yellow River. Without preparations in advance, it would be extremely difficult for more than 1,000 people to cross the river. However, if the number of people is smaller, with a hundred or ten people, it is not difficult to cross the river. When the troops fled north, Xun Zhendian dispatched Liu Deng, Dian Wei, and Xin Ai: "The three of you take this song on a rush, and go to Cangting now. Be sure to seize the ferry and trap Buji. If you cross the river to escape, then you will chase after him, and you must not let him escape."

The Yellow River flows across Dongjun, Puyang, Baima, Dong'e and other counties are in Henan, and the rest of the counties are in Hebei. If Bu Ji fled to Hebei, with the Yellow River in the middle, Huangfu Song's tens of thousands of troops would need at least three to cross the river. The time of the day, three days is not long or short, but it is enough to call up his garrison troops in the counties in the north of the county. There are about four or five thousand people in total. It is not impossible to gather 10,000 people. Gathering 10,000 people is enough to defend a city, so to speak, there will be another siege battle. Although it is sure to be able to be captured, it will delay time. Soldiers who come to Han will also suffer unnecessary casualties. Therefore, in order to avoid these situations, it is best to stop Bu Ji and prevent him from crossing the river. Xin Ai's troops were cavalry soldiers with high speed. Dian Wei and Liu Deng were both generals, and their troops were also the most elite soldiers under Xun Zhen's command who dared to fight, so the three of them were dispatched to lead the troops first.

Xun Zhen paused, his eyes fell on the faces of the three of them one by one, and then said: "You three are dominated by Yulang, and Lao Dian and A Deng are supplemented." It was necessary to choose one who would call the shots. The Xin and Xun clans were relatives, and with Xin Ai as the main general, Liu Deng and Dian Wei had no objection. The three of them received the order and immediately returned to the headquarters. They took the song and horses out of the main force and ran to Cangting.

Xin Ai, Dian Wei, and Liu Deng's trio combined with hundreds of cavalry might not be enough to defeat Bu Ji, but it should be more than enough to occupy the ferry. However, the result was beyond Xun Zhen's expectations. He walked slowly with his team for about an hour. When he was still more than ten miles away from Cangting, several horses rushed from the direction of Cangting, but Xin Ai sent him to report the news. 's messenger: "Report, Sima, my army is a big thief!"

Xun Zhen was overjoyed when she heard the words. He did not expect that Xin Ai, Dian Wei, and Liu Deng could defeat nearly 2,000 men and horses of Bu Ji with only a few hundred steps. But thinking about it, it was not surprising. The troops were defeated soldiers with low morale. They had attacked Dong'e before and failed to attack twice in a row. The soldiers were exhausted and lacked food. The troops and horses led by Xin Ai, Liu Deng, and Dian Wei were the victorious army. All of them were warriors of Xun Zhen's clan, and more importantly, there were two hundred knights under Xin Ai's command. If they attacked them, it would be normal for them to break down their own clan.

Xun Zhen asked, "Can Bu Ji be caught?" The messenger said, "I was captured alive by Liu Jun." Needless to say, it must be Liu Deng who took the lead and captured Bu Ji alive in the battle. Xun Zhen smiled happily, and smiled at Xun You and Xi Zhicai who were accompanying him: "Now that I have been arrested, the East County has been settled!" Xun You and Xi Zhicai were also very happy, and Xi Zhicai said with a smile, "Congratulations to you. , Zhenzhi. It is a great achievement to capture Bu Ji alive." Bu Ji is the commander of the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun, and his status is comparable to that of Yingchuan Bocai and Runan Pengtuo, although the Yellow Turbans of Dongjun are not as good as the yellow turbans of Yingchuan and Runan. Many, it is possible to capture Bu Ji alive, which is indeed a well-deserved achievement.

Xun Zhen recalled the battles since Yingchuan defended Yangzhai, Wuyang defeated the enemy, Xihua defeated the enemy, and now he is alive again.

He thought to himself: "Because of the meritorious deeds of defending Yangzhai, General Huangfu went to the court and took me from Cao Ye, a soldier of Baishi County, to the Sima of the army. Runan beheaded Liu Pi, surrendered He Yi, and recovered more than ten counties. He also broke Wei Township, defeated Baima, and captured Bocai alive. If these two credits are added together, two thousand stones may not be possible. However, being called into the court to worship as Lang, or being appointed as a thousand stone commander in a large county should be enough. That's it."

The county magistrate (chief) is divided into several levels according to the size of the county, the number of people, and the wealth and poverty of the land. Purely based on Xun Zhen's current achievements, being promoted as Qian Shi Ling, or being worshipped as Lang is of course not a big problem, but the premise is: no one in the court interferes, you know, Zhang Zhi died because of him. of. Now that the expedition is not over, it is too early to think about this issue, and Xun Zhen has no support in the court, so even thinking about it is useless. Therefore, this thought just flashed in his mind, and soon he put his attention back to his eyes, smiled and said to Xi Zhicai: "Even if it is a great achievement, it is all due to Zhicai, you and Gongda. Your ingenuity and the valiantness of your lords to fight." After speaking, the messengers who came to report the news, "Don't stop, hurry to the white horse, and let the general know this news." The messengers received Order, beat the horse to bypass the marching troops and go straight to the White Horse to report the news.

Xun Zhen raised his riding whip, pointed to the road ahead, and said to the generals on the left and right, "Hurry up!" It was almost ten miles away, and Xin Ai, Liu Deng, and Dian Wei greeted him on the road. Xun Zhen dismounted, walked up quickly, shook Xin Ai's hand, then shook Liu Deng's and Dian Wei's hands again, and said with a smile, "You have only a few hundred cavalry, how did you defeat nearly 2,000 thieves? As he spoke, he looked behind the three of them, and behind the three of them, two people were **** with five flowers, kneeling on the ground under the custody of dozens of soldiers.

Xin Ai turned around, pointed at the two and said, "Sima, these two are Bu Ji and Li Xiang."

Xun Zhen took a closer look and saw that one of the two was in his thirties, with thick clothes and buns, his face covered in blood, his legs and arms were injured, the man was glaring at Xun Zhen with his head held high, and the other was in his twenties, with a big waist and a round waist, probably wearing something before. The armor was stripped off by the Han soldiers, exposing his naked upper body, his muscles protruding like a qiu, and he was lying on the ground at this time, honestly waiting for Xun Zhen's hair to fall.

Xun Zhen understood immediately, and said to herself, "This person who looks like a peasant must be Bu Ji." After asking Xin A, he was right.

Xun Zhen recognized that Bu Ji was not because of Bu Ji's dress. To be honest, Xun Zhen was taken aback when he saw Bu Ji's outfit. He had seen many of the Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai of the Yellow Turban Army. None of them were as shabby and simple as Bu Ji, who still kept their peasant clothes. , Not to mention the coarse linen clothes, not even wrapping the towel, but only tied in a bun, and throwing it into the crowd, no one will notice. As far as Xun Zhen saw, most of the Huangjinqu handsome and Xiaoshuai were wearing jade belts and silk clothes, and even the simpler ones were all dressed in brocade and bright armor. Where can there be someone like Bu Ji? The reason why he recognized that this person was Bu Ji was because although Bu Ji was captured, he had his own power under his anger.

He was already sympathetic to the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, but now seeing Bu Ji dressed up like this, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself, "Compared to those who have forgotten their duties after the rise of the army, handsome Qu and Xiao Xiao who are dressed in silk and brocade with powdered sachets. Handsome, but this Buji is simple." I didn't realize the love for talent.

Xun Zhen asked Xin Ai and others just now how they defeated the enemy, and Liu Deng smiled on the side: "Although there are more than a thousand thieves, they are vulnerable to a single blow. After I arrive with my troops, we will first divide our troops to grab the ferry, and then Yulang Leading the cavalry to disperse the two flanks, Dian Wei and I led the infantry to rush into the battle, and in just a while, they were defeated.

Xun Zhen looked at Bu Ji and Li Xiang and asked, "What is worth talking about?"

Liu Deng smiled and said: "This Li Xiang has some bravery, and it took a lot of effort to take him down. There is also this Bu Ji, after the thieves were defeated, his personal soldiers protected him and fought desperately to the shore. They had already prepared by the river. After a few ships, who knows that this Bu Ji refused to cross the river, and repeatedly killed the general and came back, so he was captured."

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "When you get to the shore, you don't cross the river. Hey, although this person is a village farmer, he has the style of an overlord." He asked Bu Ji with great interest, "Since you fled to the shore, why didn't you take a boat to cross the river? ?"

Bu Ji glared at Xun Zhen and scolded: "Are you a thief Xun? Today, the army is defeated and captured. It is not a pity to die. Sooner or later, the great virtuous teacher will avenge us!" Liu Deng kicked Bu Ji over, Dian Wei pulled out a short sword, placed it across his neck, and said viciously, "What a thief, a thief who is defeated by an army would dare to be so tough!" He squeezed his mouth with one hand, forcing him to open it. opened, the other sword was aimed at his mouth, and he was about to stab in.

Xun Zhen stopped him, and smiled generously: "He was defeated and captured, so he would inevitably have resentment in his chest, so I asked him to scold him a few times. What can I do? I won't lose a piece of meat anyway." Instructed Dian Wei and Liu Deng, "Help him up." Waiting for Dian Wei and Liu Deng to help him up, they asked again: "Since you fled to the shore, why didn't you want to cross north? You know that you have sinned deeply, so you have no face to see the north of the county. Youngest parent?"

Bu Ji was illiterate, did not read, and did not know the allusion to "seeing Jiangdong's elders without face", but he understood Xun Zhen's words, spit out angrily, and said, "Sinful? Thief! Kill my Daoists, and be my enemy of Taiping, and sooner or later you will be punished by heaven!  …, I am indeed an old man in the north of the county!"

Xun Zhen didn't mind the first half of his scolding, just pretended he didn't hear it, and asked him the meaning of the second half of the sentence: "Why do you have no face?"

Bu Ji said: "Most of the soldiers who started from me are my disciples from the north of the county. I told them that the unjust heaven is dead. I said that the yellow heaven will rise, but now I have killed all the jackals, and here comes the fox! I am from the north of the county. How hard it is for the elders! How hard!" He looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes, and cried out in pain, "Heaven, God! If the death of Buji can bring peace to the world, Buji is willing to die, and Buji is willing to die!" , trying to break free from Dian Wei and Liu Deng, he scolded Xun Zhen with red eyes, "It's a pity that my tens of thousands of Dongjun disciples died in battle, but it's a pity that I have hundreds of thousands of Dongjun leaders to be attacked by the army of rats. Shuzi! It's Nai Gong. Even if you turn into a ghost, I will never let you go!"

Xun You and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but take a step back. Xun Zhen stood still, listening to his screams and curses~www.mtlnovel.com~ not only did not get angry, on the contrary, she became more interested in love, not only more in love, but even more pity. This is a man with ideals and aspirations, but unfortunately he has ideals and aspirations but no direction. He has not found the right way to realize his ideals and aspirations.

He beckoned behind him, called He Yi who was standing behind to come up, smiled and said to Bu Ji, "Do you recognize him?" Bu Ji didn't know He Yi. Xun Zhen introduced, "This is Runan He Yi." Bu Ji scolded, "Traitor!" He Yi's face turned red, and he was quite ashamed.

Xun Zhen said: "Since the rebellion, the places where you have gone have been burned, killed and looted, ten rooms and five empty spaces, and I have moved to three counties. What I saw along the way, there were dead corpses, the wild exposed white bones, the fertile fields were uncultivated, and the wheat seedlings were all trampled. Ruined. You say that the sky is unfair, so you want to establish a yellow sky. Is your yellow sky just like this? Is it just such a 'peace' that you want to give the people of the world?"

What Xun Zhen said was the truth, and Bu Ji also knew that he blushed and wanted to refute, but he couldn't say it. After all, he was simple in nature, not a sophistry and shameless person.

Xun Zhen said: "That's why I said that your sins are serious, and He Yi suddenly woke up, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, how can you say that he is a traitor?" He Yi straightened up after hearing Xun Zhen's words. Xun Zhen then said to Bu Ji: "You said just now that you have no face to see the elders in the north of the county, which shows that you are a person who knows honor and disgrace. Now that you know honor and disgrace, I can give you a chance, give you a chance to atone for your sins, are you willing to surrender to me? ?"

Bu Ji was forced to kneel on the ground, holding the soil in his hands, staring at Xun Zhen with his head raised for a long time, and said, "I wish to surrender to the general." Xun Zhen ordered Liu Deng and Dian Wei: "Let him go." Going forward in person, wanting to help him get up, Bu Ji jumped up and rushed over!
