Astral Apostle Chapter 260: Knowing and turning face
The officers and soldiers advance along the path, marching silently.
Huang Ping walked at the forefront, his face was condensed, and he secretly calculated:
"Now I have dug the Dingbo mouth, causing a flood, and the flood is sweeping and flooding the Huyang boundary. The longer the time, the more extensive the disaster, and the foundation of the thieves has been dug. This battle seems to be defeated and won... After the imperial court, I don’t know if I will be able to perform the performance.”
He knew that this move would lead to criticism from the DPRK and China, but as a general, he only cared about how to benefit the war situation and how to win, and he would do anything to achieve this.
In Huang Ping's opinion, it is better to inflict heavy damage on the enemy than to return without success after consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, which is even more dissatisfied by the emperor.
"Now that the boat is done, as long as you tell these officers and men to go back to the army and don't let the trouble come out of your mouth, you should be fine."
Huang Ping looked back at his soldiers and shook his head silently.
Silent secrecy is aimed at the outside world, mainly in order not to be interrupted before completing the task.
Now that the goal has been achieved, even if the thieves know about it, the breach will be difficult to fill, so he doesn't care too much about leaking it. As for killing his subordinates and soldiers, it is easy to cause mutiny, and it is not appropriate to do so.
"It's a pity that this opportunity to command the army... Today's sages are stingy and unwilling to invest in military expenditures, and finally can lead troops to fight. If they can delay for a year or two, they can earn a lot of money, but now they have to End the war early..."
Huang Ping secretly regretted.
However, at this moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of him, standing in the middle of the road, blocking the way, with very distinctive features.
"Chen Thief?!"
Huang Ping's pupils shrank suddenly, his face changed suddenly, and he quickly reined in his horse.
Many officers and soldiers were equally shocked, clenching their weapons, all kinds of rumors from Chen Feng flashed in their hearts, and their bodies could not help trembling.
"This road is dead."
Zhou Jing stood with arms crossed and spoke coldly.
With his strong feet, he copied directly in front of the team of officers and soldiers, and appeared to block the road.
Zhou Jing stared at the officers and soldiers, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Huang Ping's appearance.
Why did this high-ranking general suddenly appear in the vicinity?
While he was thinking about it, Huang Ping did not hesitate and immediately drew his sword and shouted:
"Quick retreat!"
The officers and soldiers were in a commotion when they heard the words, and hurriedly turned to flee.
But at this time, there were a lot of people in the rear, but the soldiers from Longwangzhai caught up and blocked the way.
Just as the officers and soldiers were in a dilemma, the sky-breaking scream suddenly sounded.
Whoosh!
Zhou Jing threw a large spear, penetrated the bodies of the officers and soldiers along the way, and plunged straight into the formation, frightening the officers and soldiers around them to sit on the ground.
"Throw down your weapons, and those who descend will not kill."
Zhou Jing's violent shouts exploded, but in the ears of many officers and soldiers, it was like sounds of nature.
There was almost no entanglement. Groups of officers and soldiers resolutely threw away their weapons and surrendered. They didn't care about Huang Ping's orders at all, and even some of the supervising teams did the same.
It's true that Chen Feng has left a deep impression on the officers and soldiers during this period of time. He is famous for his fierceness. The officers and soldiers present are also human beings. No one in the audience thought that they could compete with them.
Violation of military law is a death, but resistance is even worse, so it is better to take a chance to live!
Just using the vicious name to deter him, he directly let the officers and soldiers out of Huang Ping's control. It can be seen that Zhou Jing's actions during this period were very effective, and the officers and soldiers basically had no will to fight when facing him.
"Drive! Go!"
Seeing this, Huang Ping knew that he was powerless, but he didn't want to sit still and run away.
Zhou Jing didn't plan to let him go, but with a flash, he was faster than the galloping horse, and he chased after him in a few seconds.
He simply leaned against the mountain and knocked Huang Ping out with his horse and his horse.
Bang!
Huang Ping fell from his horse, his legs were crushed by the fallen horse, and he screamed in pain.
"It's over, it's over..."
Huang Ping was sweating profusely in pain, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
I dug a river and burst its banks and flooded Huyang. Now that I have fallen to the enemy, wouldn't I have to suffer terribly?
Never fall into the hands of thieves!
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he turned his sword and wanted to kill himself.
However, this move failed. As soon as the sword was raised, it was kicked out by Zhou Jing at will.
"Want to cut the neck? The reaction is so intense, there must be something tricky."
Zhou Jing frowned, pushed the war horse away, dragged Huang Ping out, and slammed off the other's limbs and joints with his hands.
This is one of the generals appointed by the imperial court. After being honored, it is not low in value. It is not very cost-effective to let him die so easily.
"What are you planning to lead troops around here?"
Zhou Jing asked Huang Ping in a deep voice.
Huang Ping's face was pale and silent.
"You don't answer, some people answer."
Zhou Jing didn't take it seriously, and let the boys who caught up to control the surrendering officers and soldiers to conduct cross-examination.
It didn't take long for everyone to ask for information from the group of officers and soldiers, and they were all furious.
"Zhaizhu! These officers and soldiers sneaked to Dingbokou and demolished the embankment there!"
"These **** officers and soldiers want to cause a flood and flood the lake and Yang!"
"The imperial court did not dare to fight with us in a dignified manner, but to use such a vicious and insidious tactic, it really deserves to be damned!"
Numerous children shouted and cursed.
Most of them are natives of Huyang. When they heard that the officers and soldiers were going to harm their hometown, they were all furious.
Zhou Jing's face also turned dark, his backhand was a slap, he slapped Huang Ping's teeth, and shouted:
"Okay, it seems that we still overestimated the lower limit of you guys. In the future, instead of looting your family and exterminating your blood, it seems that we are too kind."
Huang Ping drooped his head, had bleeding from his nose and mouth, and was dizzy when he was slapped with a slap. He had no words to refute.
Zhou Jing threw him directly into the hands of the personal soldiers, and said solemnly: "Take good care of this guy and bring him back to the cottage. Don't let him die on the way, it will be too cheap."
There is no relevant news from Bill's side, it seems to be a secret operation in private.
The government's actions like this will inevitably lead to an uproar in the world. He has seized a bunch of witnesses, which happened to be made public, completely destroying the legitimacy of the court's rule in Huyang.
But before that, the flood caused by the officers and soldiers must be resolved.
If the flood is allowed to overflow, it will not only drown the people, but also drown the cultivated land, destroy agricultural production, etc., and the disaster will be endless. Shanzhai is not acceptable.
Zhou Jing quickly divided the troops into two groups, one group escorted Huang Ping and Jiang soldiers back to the cottage, and by the way informed the situation and asked for help.
The other group followed him and went straight to Dingbokou.
…
During Zhou Jing's decision to turn around and hurry, the flood had already spread to many areas and was still expanding.
And the gods are not beautiful, and the heavy rains for several days have caused the river to flood even more and the floods have become more serious.
As the floods spread, the news of the outbreak of the floods quickly spread in the Huyang area, causing shock and panic among the local people, and they could not even pay attention to the war.
The officers and troops also discovered the flooding situation and quickly reported it back to the main camp.
Inside the army tent.
"Hahaha, God helped me!"
"Our army and the bandits were at a stalemate, but a flood broke out at this juncture, which would certainly disrupt the bandits' positions. Sure enough, God blesses me in the orthodox Xia, and these rebels can't be helped by God!"
"This is called a lot of injustice and one's own death!"
The officers and soldiers were beaming with joy.
They thought that the flood was a natural disaster, and they all felt gloating and lamented that the court had luck to help.
"This commander has already said that if the thief Chen rebels, he will be condemned by heaven!"
Ma Zhen's face did not change, and he spoke in awe.
He has not disclosed his plans for the time being. He plans to wait for the dust to settle before he can take credit. Therefore, the officers and soldiers still do not know that the flood disaster is the coach's plan.
However, although it was kept secret for the time being, Ma Zhen was still a little complacent.
But at this moment, Ling Fengzi, who was listening in the tent, suddenly got up and walked to the center.
Under everyone's suspicious eyes, he slowly opened his mouth:
"General Ma, Pindao has something to tell me."
"The real person please speak."
Ma Zhen frowned, resisting the boredom and responding.
Lingfengzi threw off his whisk and said slowly: "The floods are endless, tormenting the common people, and the poor Taoist has achieved success in practice, so he cannot ignore it. Therefore, the poor Taoist must go to control the flood and try to save the people. I hope General Ma will understand."
When the voice fell, the faces of the soldiers became subtle.
Ma Zhen's face instantly turned gloomy, and said coldly:
"The real person, do you know what this is? Floods can hit the thieves severely, but you have to manage the flood and help the thieves get through this disaster. If it is passed back to Beijing, how will the sage view this matter?"
Lingfengzi's tone remained the same: "Being a poor man with a clear conscience, whether General Ma agrees or not, I will go."
Having said that, he turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Lingfengzi! You don't know what's wrong!"
Ma Zhen slammed the table. He couldn't bear to see Lingfengzi paddling in the water for a long time.
"You have repeatedly disobeyed the commander's orders and delayed fighters again and again. That's all. Now you have to help the bandits. Are you an enemy or a friend? com~ If you dare to walk out of the camp today, it will ruin my battle situation, I will definitely participate in your book, and the loss in this battle is all your fault!"
Lingfeng Zili ignored him, kept walking, walked out of the Chinese army tent, directly rode the wind, took off, and quickly went away.
All the officers and soldiers looked back and looked at Ma Zhen, who was furious. They were all silent.
They didn't expect that their coach and Yufeng Zhenren would turn their heads in public.
Ma Zhen's chest rose and fell, and after a while, he suppressed his anger and said solemnly:
"You have all seen what Lingfengzi did. If the flood is contained, the thief Chen will be able to recover and recuperate, and he will harm the society again in the future. It is all due to what Lingfengzi did today. This commander has exhausted his personnel, but If he doesn't listen to the advice, I can't stop him, there's nothing I can do."
The generals hesitated, knowing that this was for them to testify.
"Don't worry, Commander, I've seen it with my own eyes, that Lingfengzi is ignorant of Jiangshan, society, and Ji, helping a group of rebels, and letting him break the sky is also an act of disloyalty, no king and no father!" /
Yu Wenyan made a statement immediately.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and had no choice but to make a statement together.
Ma Zhen nodded, no longer bothered about this, and said coldly:
"That's good. It will save the courtiers' impeachment against me and the army. Since Lingfengzi helps the rebels, he doesn't need to worry about his life or death... Announce the whole army, pull out the camp and withdraw!"
"The last will obey."
Everyone's faces froze, and they all responded.
