The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 568 567 The Burning Yangtze River (7)

Zheng San was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei, and all the thieves were stunned, including the officers and soldiers in Fuling City, who were also shocked. Zheng San has been a thief here for many years and has dealt with the officers and soldiers for a long time. No matter what actions the officers and soldiers take, Zheng San was never caught.

Fortunately this time, Zheng San and Zhang Fei had just met each other before he was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei. For the officers and soldiers, this was a joyful event, but for the thieves, it was a heavy blow.

Zheng San is the backbone of the entire thieves army. Once Zheng San dies, the thieves army will fall into a situation where there is no leader. What's more, many of these thieves are forced to join the thieves army by local people. They were very afraid of Zheng San, and now that Zheng San died, some of them seemed a little happy.

Bandit A was riding a war horse. After seeing Zhang Fei stab Zheng San to death, he was surprised, so he drew the sword from his waist, swung it forward, and shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone. , and there is only one person, if we go together, we will definitely be able to kill him and avenge the king, everyone follow me!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people in the bandit army who were not afraid of death rushed over. These dozens of bandits were all Zheng San's confidantes. Usually, Zheng San treated them well. This time Zheng San was killed, they To avenge him, of course.

Thief A didn't rush up, but stayed in place quietly, watching the dozen or so thieves on horseback rushing towards Zhang Fei.

When Zhang Fei saw ten thieves on horseback charging towards him, he immediately drew his spear and retreated quickly. Everyone thought that Zhang Fei was afraid and wanted to run away, but when Zhang Fei hurried to the gate of the city, Suddenly turned around and rode on Zheng Sanzuo's war horse, pulled the rein, the war horse let out a long neigh, and turned the horse's head directly. A cavalryman, without saying a word, rode his horse forward and rushed over.

Anyone who saw it, this was a battle without any suspense. Zhang Fei had only one person, while the opponent had more than a dozen people.

However, Zhang Fei's power once again made people feel incomparably amazed. I saw him galloping like lightning, and charged over a dozen people. With a single shot, he directly stabbed a thief off the horse, Then, like a spirit snake spewing out letters, the spear stabbed from left to right, knocking down the dozen or so thieves one after another, hitting their vital parts, one shot at a time, and they all died.

The thieves were shocked again, this time they were so surprised that they couldn't even close their mouths. If Zheng San's death was an accident, then these dozens of people were all personal guards trained by Zheng San, and their martial arts were not weak, could it? Also an accident?
Everyone suddenly realized that it wasn't that these people were too weak, but that Zhang Fei was too strong.

Thief A was astonished and hadn't reacted yet, but seeing Zhang Fei galloping towards him, the thieves behind him were trembling after seeing them. Those who were able to survive turned around and ran away, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Seeing this, Bandit A also turned his horse's head and began to retreat, but Zhang Fei's horse was too fast, and rushed over with a "swish", the spear directly pierced Thief A's entire body from the back of his heart, and immediately Fall off the horse.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei took the bow and arrow from Thief A again, and shot two arrows in a row. With two sounds of "swoosh, swish", the arrows pierced straight into Thief B, Thief B, and Thief who were released by him last night. C's throat, thief B and thief C were killed successively.

The leader of the thieves, Zheng San, Zheng San's confidants, as well as thieves A, B, and C, were all killed by Zhang Fei alone.

Then, a strange scene appeared. The officers and soldiers upstairs in Fuling County suddenly saw that Zhang Fei was alone, chasing the thieves army of more than 1000 people, and the thieves were still in a panic and dispersed one after another.

At the same time, in the northwest of Fuling County, a wave of officers and soldiers had just turned over a high slope, and they were all very surprised to see this scene before them.

One of the leaders, wearing a long robe, was young and handsome, but the iron armor on the outside of the robe made his attire look a bit nondescript.

After Zhang Fei chased him for a while, he stopped chasing. He turned his horse's head around and returned to the city of Fuling.At this time, the gate of Fuling City was opened, and the two chiefs of the officers and soldiers led all the officials and troops in the city to line up at the gate of the city, warmly welcoming Zhang Fei's arrival.

When Zhang Fei arrived at the gate of the city, the two village chiefs walked over in unison, and they both cupped their fists respectfully towards Zhang Fei and said, "The strong man drove away the thieves for us, and we thank the strong man on behalf of the people of the city! If you dare to ask the strong man's name, in the future We can also report to the prefect!"

"No need, just take it as your credit." Zhang Fei got off his horse, thrust his spear into the ground, and waved his hand.

At this moment, there was a rush of hooves behind Zhang Fei, and a cavalry dressed like an officer was rushing towards here, and not far behind the cavalry, there was another group of soldiers with clear banners and neat military appearances. The official army, the banner above is the word "strict".

And those thieves who escaped were arrested one after another, and were driven towards Fuling City by the officers and soldiers.

After the two village chiefs met, they immediately became nervous, looked at each other, and said in unison, "It's Prefect Yan who has arrived!"

Fuling County is under the jurisdiction of Bajun County in Yizhou. Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun County, is a famous general in Yizhou. A few days ago, the news that the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Fuling County were successively killed by thieves spread to Jiangzhou, the county seat of Berkshire. The prefect Yan Yan thought that this gang of thieves was too rampant, and this time he led the army here just to encircle and suppress this gang of thieves.

Unexpectedly, when they came, they saw Zhang Fei chasing more than 1000 thieves by himself, and those thieves also fled in all directions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Yan ordered the army to chase and intercept them, and arrested all the more than 1000 thieves.

After Zhang Fei heard the words of the two village chiefs, he turned his head and looked into the distance. He saw a man riding a war horse who was about 50 years old and had a gray beard hanging from his chin. , but his eyes are piercing, and he looks very energetic. This person is Yan Yan, the prefect of Berkshire.

And beside Yan Yan, there was a young man who was wearing a long robe and an iron armor. He looked a bit out of place with these soldiers.

In a short while, the cavalryman came to the city of Fuling, stopped directly in front of Zhang Fei, looked at Zhang Fei quickly, and said, "The prefect has seen your performance just now, what is your name?" Name, our prefect will give you a good reward."

Zhang Fei thought that he was in Yizhou. If he reported his real name, he might cause a lot of trouble, and he didn't want to cause trouble.But at this moment, it seemed that he could no longer get out, so he said to the cavalryman: "Next to Zhang De!"

"It turned out to be Zhang Zhuangshi. The strong man is waiting here for a while. My family's prefect will arrive in a while. He will definitely reward Zhang Zhuangshi at that time."

After a while, Yan Yan came to the gate of the city with a few followers. He sized Zhang Fei up, and then asked: "This strong man, all your feats just now have been seen by the government. This government never imagined that Fuling City is still a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, it is a pity that you are not a soldier with such force!"

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your love. Zhang is not a local, but just passing by." Zhang Fei replied.

Yan Yan said: "Zhang Zhuangshi is extremely brave and his martial arts are world-class. I heard from the thieves just now that you killed the leader of the thieves, Zheng San, and then successively killed Zheng San's confidants. The government solved this scourge, the government should reward you heavily..."

"Zhang doesn't ask for any reward, he just wants to leave this place as soon as possible. Besides, these thieves came because of me, so I can't just sit idly by." Zhang Fei said.

Yan Yan hurriedly asked: "Strong man, what do you say? Could it be that you have something to do with this thief?"

So, Zhang Fei told what happened last night, about his release of thieves A, B, and C.

After Yan Yan and the others heard this, they smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. This group of thieves, the government and the army have repeatedly encircled and suppressed them, but they can't win a big victory. I didn't expect to be defeated by the strong man today. The strong man is grateful for me." In addition to one major disaster in the county, the government should thank you well. Xiaozhi!"

The young scholar in iron armor beside Yan Yan responded, "Your subordinate is here!"

"You can arrange it, I want to entertain Zhang Zhuangshi in the city!" Yan Yan said.

After Zhang Fei heard Yan Yan's words, he focused his attention on this person named Xiaozhi. He was surprised, but he didn't expect that Fazheng, whom he had worked so hard to find, was right in front of his eyes.

Xiaozhi is the word of Fazheng. Xiang Lang once told Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also remembered it in the letter. Therefore, the moment Yan Yan called out Xiaozhi, Zhang Fei felt that he didn't have to run around anymore. .

A group of people entered the city one after another, Yan Yan locked up all the captive thieves in the cell, and planned to deal with them tomorrow, but today, he wanted to treat Zhang Fei well, and wanted to get Zhang Fei to serve as a soldier under his own hands. After all, he is a great general, and Yan Yan is also a person who loves talents, so naturally he will not miss this good deed.

Zhang Fei called Xiang Lang over again. When Fazheng saw Xiang Lang, he was surprised for a moment, and then immediately regained his composure. After preparing the banquet, he went to chat with Xiang Lang.

At noon that day, Fazheng had arranged everything. Yan Yan, Zhang Fei, Fazheng, and Xiang Lang sat in the hall of the county government office and started a chat.

During the banquet, Yan Yan toasted Zhang Fei several times with a glass of wine. In his words, he revealed his love for Zhang Fei and hoped that Zhang Fei could work under him.

Zhang Fei just laughed it off, neither refused nor agreed, his mind was not on this at all, but was wholeheartedly thinking about how to bring Fazheng back.
