Fenghou

Chapter 197 Beheading
Liyutou is a place name, named after a large rock resembling the head of a carp. This official road going north is a narrow mountain depression. , A valley with a width of more than ten miles.

Chen Qing had to deal with this pursuer not in this mountain depression, but in the wilderness behind the mountain depression.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the dust was flying. Chen Qingju looked down at the large group of small black spots in the distance, and said coldly to his opponent: "You don't shoot people when you shoot horses!"

The large group of cavalry was getting closer and closer, and they were already about a hundred paces away, and their faces could be vaguely seen.

Chen Qing drew out an arrow, stretched the bow and set the arrow, and the string was drawn like a full moon. The arrow was shot out like lightning, and the horse leading the cavalry was shot down by the arrow.

The armor of the three hundred cavalrymen is exactly the same, Chen Qing needs to know who is the leader among them?

Chen Qing's subordinates shot arrows at the same time. In an instant, more than a dozen war horses were shot down, and the soldiers were in a mess. Yuan Gang's war horse was also shot down by Chen Qing's soldiers. He got up from the ground and turned on a spare horse. , brandished a knife and shouted: "There are only a dozen people on the other side, kill them!"

The cavalry yelled and galloped, and Chen Qinghe shot down more than [-] horses. Chen Qing took a deep look at Yuan Gang and shouted, "Let's go!"

He led his men into the wilderness along the hillside
Chen Qing led the cavalry to gallop in front, and a hundred steps behind, a large group of cavalry pursued closely.

Yuan Gang knew very well that Chen Qing's bow and arrow were powerful, and he was very cunning. He was wearing the same armor as the soldiers and mixed in the crowd, with the pockets covering most of his face, making it difficult to recognize him.

After a while, the cavalry had galloped into the wilderness. Chen Qing glanced back from the corner of his eye, and immediately locked on to the enemy leader hidden in countless pockets. An arrow was incomparably fast and powerful, passing through the gaps in the bodies of several soldiers, and reaching Yuan Gang in the blink of an eye.

As the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages. When Yuan Gang hid among the soldiers, his field of vision was not as wide as that at the front. When he saw the arrow in front of him, it was too late to hide, "Pfft! 'An arrow hit the center of the eyebrow, the arrow shot through the head, and a bloody arrow spurted out from the back of the head.

With a scream, Yuan Gang threw his head up and fell off his horse. This arrow made all the pursuing soldiers terrified.

At this time, Chen Qing stopped running, and immediately stood on a high place, holding the golden-backed tiger-tooth knife horizontally, and fifteen soldiers behind him raised their spears together.

"kill!"

Chen Qing let out a loud roar, galloped his horse, and charged towards the enemy cavalry group. The murderous aura of the cavalry group had disappeared at this moment. The death of the general made them hesitate, unable to decide between advancing and retreating.

This kind of hesitation is fatal to an army. It means that morale has been affected and the will to fight is not so strong.

All of a sudden, Chen Qing rushed into the crowd from the gap between the cavalry. He slashed out with a big knife, blood shot out, and four heads flew up. Dodging sideways, he slashed back like a whirlwind with a big knife, 'click! 'Chop this person up to the chest into two sections.

Fifteen personal soldiers also rushed into the enemy group. They did not fight alone, but guarded Chen Qing from behind.

With no worries, Chen Qing's attack became sharper, and the killing became more cruel. Although he hadn't practiced any sword skills, no matter what weapon, there were only two killing moves in the world, fast and ruthless. In the face of absolute speed and strength, Any fancy moves are decorations.

Where Chen Qing passed was a bloodbath, with limbs flying, heads rolling, and corpses all over the place. In one round trip, more than fifty cavalrymen died under his knife, and the death conditions were extremely miserable. Not a single corpse was intact.
Many cavalrymen wanted to shoot cold arrows at Chen Qing from the outside, but Chen Qing's personal soldiers shot them down first.

When Chen Qing turned his horse's head and was about to charge into the enemy group again, the cavalry group finally collapsed. The main general died, and the heads of the three soldiers also died. There was no reason to kill any more. On the contrary, saving their lives became the common thought of all soldiers.

More than two hundred soldiers turned their horses and ran away, but it was so easy to escape. Chen Qing chased and hacked all the way, and countless soldiers became his souls.

When the rest of the soldiers fled to Liyutou, they unexpectedly discovered that ten soldiers from the other side had blocked the entrance of the canyon first. It flows into a river, and corpses are everywhere.

There were less than half of the remaining cavalry. Seeing that they could not pass the carp head, they turned their horses to flee for their lives. Chen Qing and his men took the opportunity to chase and kill them until it was dark before letting go of the last dozens of enemy troops. The cavalry stopped chasing, Chen Qing tidied up a bit, and returned to Qinzhou with a batch of spoils northward.

Two days later, Fu Xuan got the news that he sent out to chase after Chen Qing's [-] elite soldiers, and Chen Qing killed more than [-] of them, leaving only [-] cavalry who fled back to Longzhou. Yuan Gang and the others were all killed in battle. The news made Fu Xuan almost vomit blood.

He had no face to see Zhu Shengfei again, told Fu Jingyi, and returned to Fengxiang in desperation with the remaining two hundred soldiers.

Zhu Shengfei didn't care whether Fu Xuan chased Chen Qing back, he had already made up his mind that Chen Qing would be the first fire among three fires when he took office.

He signed the suspension order, ordered Chen Qing to be temporarily suspended, and sent Shen Dayuan, a judicial envoy, as a special envoy to go to Qinzhou with his order to investigate Chen Qing's embezzlement of spoils. Once the evidence was obtained, he would propose dismissal to the emperor. Please ask the emperor to remove Chen Qing from all his posts.

Zhu Shengfei's attack on Chen Qing was not impulsive. He had been in the officialdom for decades, and he knew that in order to establish his prestige in Sichuan and Shanxi, he must either lead the army to a big victory, or kill chickens and scare monkeys.

He doesn't have the ability to fight, but he is good at manipulating people.

Among all the generals, the governors have deep seniority, are not very active, and may not be able to catch the handle, but the Qinzhou governor Chen Qing was promoted by the former Xuanfu envoy Zhang Jun, and he has a handle again. Not deep either.

Bringing down Chen Qing not only avenged Zhang Junkeng himself, but also deterred the army. At the same time, he could severely teach this general who didn't take himself seriously, killing three birds with one stone.

A fly in the ointment may offend Lu Yihao, but after all, Chen Qing is not Lu Yihao's grandson-in-law, he just fell in love with him, maybe it's just one of the options.

Once there is a stain on Chen Qing, Lu Yihao may not think highly of this person.

In fact, there is another very secret reason, which is the case of exchanging Chen Qing for the empress dowager. Although this matter was settled in the end, no one in Lin'an has mentioned it anymore.

But Zhu Shengfei's heart is like a mirror. Although this incident has been gradually forgotten, there must be a thorn in the official's heart.

After some weighing, Zhu Shengfei found that Chen Qing was simply a gift from God for his appointment.

This morning, in front of the military envoy's office in Fengxiang County, a man in his thirties was asking the soldiers on guard what?
The soldier shook his head, "My Dutong hasn't come back yet, I don't know when he will come back?"

The man had no choice but to leave with a face full of disappointment.

This man was Zhang Jian who escaped from the military camp in Chengji County. He fled to Fengxiang Mansion, hoping that Yuanwai Pan would introduce him to Fu Xuan, the commander of the capital. up.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Pan could not be found at all, and because Fu Xuan failed to seize the property, he was also quite indifferent to Zhang Jian and asked him to wait for news in the inn.

It has been almost half a month, and there is no news at all. Zhang Jian is a little anxious. He doesn't have much money in his hand. If this continues, he may not even be able to pay for the room.

Zhang Jian is not stupid. How could he fail to see that Fu Xuan didn't want to see him at all. He was fooling himself with the words of Pan Daguan who said that talents are rare, not to mention the commander. It is already an eye-opener to do it all.

Zhang Jian regretted it too late, but it's useless to regret now, just wait another three days!If it doesn't work, go back to Huating County.

Zhang Jian is currently living in an inn diagonally opposite the military office. He returned to the inn sullenly. As soon as he opened the door and entered the room, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

Half an hour later, the clerk yelled in fright and rushed down from upstairs, "Shopkeeper, that man surnamed Zhang, his head is gone!"
