Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 640: The fierce general who seized military power died.

As a famous brave general in Tianquan Sixth Division, Xu Hanqing is not a vegetarian. He has killed countless warriors with a mountain-breaking ax. A few days ago, everyone discussed that Xu Hanqing and Ma Ting would each bring 1,500 troops to Yazhou to assist in the defense. Ma Ting's movements were slow, and before the soldiers, horses, money and food were ready, news came that Tianquan's Sixth Recruitment sent Gao Jitai to surrender and the guards entered Lizhou, so he stayed in Lizhou and did not go; only those who actually reinforced Yazhou Xu Hanqing had 1,500 soldiers and horses along the way. After receiving Gao Jitai's military order, he rushed to Yazhou non-stop. He arrived in Yazhou in only seven days and was arranged by Zhang Shiwei to guard Rongjing County together with Rongjing garrison Hong Tao.

The reason why they acted so quickly was because Tianquan Liuban and Yazhou were brothers who depended on each other. Thinking back when the Great Western Bandits entered Sichuan, many chieftains from Tianquan Sixth Division and even Jiarong Eight Divisions gave their full support to Yazhou in fighting against the Great Western Bandits; similarly, if Tianquan Sixth Division encountered natural or man-made disasters, Yazhou would never sit idly by. The blood of Jiarong people is hot. As soon as he received the order from Tianquan Sixth Recruitment Envoy Gao Jitai, Xu Hanqing led 1,500 troops from his headquarters to cross mountains and rivers. Although these soldiers and horses are not many, they are all veterans who have followed him through bloody battles and have extremely strong combat effectiveness.

As winter turns to spring, the climate is most volatile. It was still cold and windy in the morning, but the warm sunshine returned at noon. I just got the news that the Daxi bandits are currently stationed in Zhuqing Mountain, Hongya County. They are just building forts and villages. It seems that they have no intention of attacking Yazhou for the time being. Moreover, Rongjing County is located behind Yazhou at the junction with Lizhou, so the Daxi bandits must first Only by conquering Yazhou can we defeat Rongjing. Xu Hanqing was depressed because he couldn't win the battle, so he danced with his famous weapon, the mountain ax, in the military camp. Good guy, the big ax weighing more than 70 kilograms can be lifted easily, dancing like a flower.

"it is good!"

Suddenly, loud cheers came from behind him. Xu Hanqing turned around and saw Hong Tao, the guard of Rongjing. He couldn't help laughing heartily, "Hong Shoubei, why are you here? How about we compete together?" It is said that the official position of the general is much higher than that of the guard, but he is an upright man who doesn't like to put on airs, and he doesn't get along well with the local officials in Rongjing. good.

"Oh, my Hao Shenrong. You are born with supernatural power and superb martial arts. How can I be your opponent? If I really get to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch a single move. It's better to skip the competition. I'll help you hold a hand. A horse or someone with an ax is fine," Hong Tao said with a smile.

"You, this mouth is sweeter than honey. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Xu Hanqing glared at him, but he was happy in his heart.

"Shenrong, Hongya's Daxi bandits seem to have made some changes recently. Zhang Zhizhou invites you to go to Yazhou to discuss military affairs." Hong Tao started talking about business. ,
"Is there something unusual about the Daxi bandits? This is great! There is a battle!" Xu Hanqing laughed loudly, "I will prepare my horse and rush to Yazhou with you."

Seeing that things went unusually smoothly, Hong Tao secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Gao Jitai's letter to this person was intercepted by him, otherwise how could it have gone so smoothly?

The two of them rushed to Yazhou without stopping with their personal entourage. Because it was in wartime, the atmosphere in Yazhou Zhizhou Yamen was extremely tense. Today, for unknown reasons, the number of sentry posts has doubled.

"It looks like we are really going to have a big battle." Xu Hanqing laughed upon seeing this.

"Zhizhou and everyone are waiting in the back hall. Please hand over your weapons and follow me to the back hall. My entourage is waiting in the front hall." The general guard of Zhizhou Mansion stopped everyone and said politely.

Hong Tao quickly took off his sword and ordered his entourage to stay where he was and wait. Xu Hanqing hesitated for a moment and did the same.

The two came to the back hall, where Zhang Shiwei, Xiong Zhensheng, Pan Lin, Hong Qiren and others were already sitting and waiting.

"The last general will visit Zhizhou." Xu Hanqing saluted Zhang Shiwei who was sitting in the middle.

"General Xu Shen, don't be too polite. Please take a seat and serve tea." Zhang Shiwei smiled and ordered his servants to serve tea. He is a refined scholar. He does not use maids, but uses bookboys. The two book boys served tea to the two of them, and the aroma of tea immediately overflowed.

Xu Hanqing opened the lid of the tea cup, blew a few breaths, swallowed a big mouthful, and praised it profusely, "Zhizhou is so elegant and joyful. It's a pity that the stupid people in the end really wasted such good tea!"

"Xu Canrong, don't be modest. This tea is produced in Ziyang, and its name is Qingsong Yunwu. An old friend gave me two kilograms as a gift a few days ago. I have been reluctant to drink it. I just gave it to guests today. Only a great hero like you is worthy of it." Such good tea, I'll have someone bring it to you later." Zhang Shiwei smiled more and more warmly.

"Thank you Zhizhou." Xu Hanqing felt warm in his heart and said with emotion: "Zhizhou called us, but there is some movement among the Daxi thieves? The last general is willing to be the vanguard, and he will kill them all without leaving any trace!"

The air suddenly became extremely quiet, and no one spoke. "Ahem~" Zhang Shiwei coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "Xu Canrong doesn't know yet, does he? The guard troops sent out the blockhouse, and your commander Tianquan ordered Gao Jitai to surrender in the sixth round. At present, the guard troops have entered Li Prefecture, it has the intention of violating my elegant prefecture."

"How is this possible?" Xu Hanqing was shocked.

"This is a letter written by Gao Jitai to you. Please read it." Zhang Shiwei ordered someone to show him the letter intercepted by Hong Tao.

Xu Hanqing's expression changed drastically after reading this, "The letter sent by Gao Zhao to the general fell into the hands of Zhizhou. In this way, today's military meeting is a Hongmen banquet hosted by Zhizhou for the general."

"Let's not talk about the Hongmen Banquet. I just want to know where Xu Canrong is going." Zhang Shiwei narrowed his eyes and looked at him, his gaze like a torch.

"The general is a Tianquan man, so he must obey the military orders of the high-ranking envoys," Xu Hanqing replied loudly.

"Gao Jitai betrayed the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Western Fans. As a general of the Ming Dynasty, are you going to help the Zhou Dynasty? Why don't you stay and fight against the Western Fans with us?" Zhang Shiwei asked slowly, his tone almost pleading.

Xu Hanqing bowed his hands to everyone, "Everyone, I am a member of Tianquan, and my family members are all in Tianquan. I really can't disobey the military order of the high-ranking envoy. I hope you will fulfill it!"

"Alas! In this case, I have no choice but to offend you. Take it!" Zhang Shiwei shouted.

A group of sword-wielding soldiers rushed into the back hall and wanted to capture Xu Hanqing.

The good Xu Hanqing kicked one person over with his flying kick, flashed his fists, knocked down several more people in a moment, and grabbed a waist knife in his hand. Just as he was about to step forward to restrain Zhang Shiwei, his back suddenly hurt, and a short knife penetrated his body. He coughed blood and turned around to see Hong Qiren, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, looking at him coldly. All this time, this scholar has presented himself as a Confucian scholar, but unexpectedly he is also a swordsman.

"It's you, Mr. Hong~" Xu Hanqing laughed miserably and fell to the ground without making a sound.

Hong Qiren loudly said to Zhang Shiwei: "Please tell the state to immediately send people to take over the Tianquan native soldiers in Rongjing, and they must guard Rongjing."

Zhang Shiwei nodded and said to regiment training staff general Xiong Zhensheng and Rongjing guard Hong Tao: "General Xiong and guard Hong Tao, you two immediately led 3,000 elite troops to Rongjing. You must guard Rongjing."

"Yes", the two of them accepted the order in unison.

After the military meeting dispersed, the back hall of Zhizhou Mansion was filled with the strong smell of blood, which was the blood of Xu Hanqing, the fierce general of Tianquan.
