Chapter 862 Absurd Dream Broken (6)

Halfway through the night, there were people roaring in Fancheng, and torches illuminated half of the city as bright as day.

Especially at the south gate, as the official army arrived, Zhang Jing brought people to meet him, which was even more noisy. When everyone saw these robes that had made great contributions to regaining Fancheng, they were filled with praise and admiration. The generals in charge even bowed to Zhang Jing, who had already gone down the city tower: "General Zhang is indeed a brave war and is invincible, which makes the last generals admire him."

"Brothers, don't be so polite." Zhang Jing immediately helped the person up, and then asked in a solemn voice, "What's the situation here now? Does our army have the control of the city again? Also, where are Lord Li and the others?"

"Mr. Li also brought people to guard Xiangyang, thinking that it was perfect. After coming from the floating bridge, the generals had already acted separately and went to control the city gates and cleared out the rebels in the city. However, as far as the situation is concerned, those rebels have escaped from the city because they see the opportunity."

"Well, I just saw that they were retreating to the west, as if they were planning to leave Fancheng from the west gate." Zhang Jing said, as his eyes flashed with a sharp look, "You can't let them run away. In this way, you will leave a thousand people to continue guarding the south gate, and the others will follow me to pursue Xicheng to see if they can be wiped out here in one fell swoop!"

The subordinates immediately agreed loudly that Zhang Jing, except Li Ling, had the greatest power in Xiangfan, and now he decided to do so. He did not delay any longer. He did not care about having exhausted and injured after a few battles, so he turned over and ran along the street towards the west gate first.

The soldiers also made arrangements quickly. After leaving a group of people guarding the city gate, they followed General Zhang's footsteps and rushed westward. A team of thousands of people came to the south gate in a mighty manner and rushed straight to the west gate. This scared many residents in the city along the way. They could only hide at home and recite the Buddha's name and pray for the gods, while secretly observing the movements of these people through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Fortunately, these soldiers and horses had long received strict orders and did not invade anyone from beginning to end. They just brought some pressure and fear to the people of the whole city.

When Zhang Jing brought a small group of troops to the vicinity of Ximen, he saw a team of neatly shaped troops slowly entering the city with torches. The leading flag was illuminated by the fire, and the Yi-Campaign Army, who had fought with him before, had a battle with him at the South Gate.

This made many soldiers nervous immediately. Before Zhang Jing could speak, they had already raised their weapons and treaded the arrows. The generals on the opposite side were also startled and made the same moves. However, the general Xu Cheng, who was in charge, seemed quite calm at this time, shouted loudly: "Who are you? What is the situation in the city now?"

Zhang Jing was still a little secretly complaining, and the enemy was powerful. Once he was allowed to rush over, it would be a death battle without knowing the outcome. He had already grasped the hilt of the sword and was ready to rush, but when he heard the shouting from the other side, he suddenly moved his heart and replied loudly: "I am Zhang Jing, the left guard general of Luoyang Imperial Guard. He is ordered by the imperial envoy Li to quell the Fancheng Rebellion. Who are you?" As he said that, in order to prove his identity, he also showed off a golden waist card, which was a certificate to be able to enter and exit the palace gate. None of the senior generals in the imperial envoy could be awarded. Xu Cheng was surprised. Although he could not tell the authenticity of the gold medal, he also knew that there was an imperial envoy Li in Xiangfan. Looking at the appearance of these people, it was really not a fake. Could it be that the chaos had been calmed by Lord Li?

Thinking of this, he quickly dismounted and bowed: "I don't know that the general is in front of me, so please forgive me. The last general, Xiangfan Yi, was ordered to come to quell the chaos and defend the city..." As he said that, he took two steps forward and bowed to salute him.

Zhang Jing saw that he was not as deceitful as if he was cheating, and he felt even more relieved: "Then you are here just in time. I am having important things to do. The city also needs more troops to guard. Leave all the troops to my command, and you will follow me and wait for the dispatch!" Half of these words were temptations, and his eyes were still on the other party's face. Whenever something was wrong, he would raise his sword and kill him on the spot.

"The last one will obey the order." Xu Cheng agreed without any slight refusal, and then turned around and sent an order, indicating that Zhang Jing could control the troops he brought. Originally, he had not participated in the conspiracy and rebellion of Cai and Chen Da, and everything was kept in the dark, so he was particularly cooperative at this time.

Zhang Jing still didn't dare to relax too much at this time, so he waved his hand to signal his generals to come forward to hand over the officers from the army. At the same time, he grabbed Xu Cheng, who was a little confused and asked him, "Where are you the leader of the camp Yi and some other generals?"

"I, General Chen, met Cai people and others on the road when I came here. Then when he made arrangements, he asked General Mo to take his people into the city to quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, General Zhang had already successfully quelled the rebellion..." Xu Cheng answered truthfully, but Zhang Jing was awkward and at the same time he was a little lucky.

If this was a battle with the Yizi Camp led by Chen Da personally, it would be a war.

Judging from the current situation, it should be that Chen Da saw that the situation was hopeless and did not dare to deceive his soldiers. He found an excuse to lead them to Fancheng, and he fled with the Cai family and others.

At that moment, he looked somber: "Xu Cheng, do you know where they are going?"

Xu Cheng was obviously stunned, but he still honestly said: "When General Returning to General and separated from the last general, General Chen and the others were heading west."

"You stayed with them in the city, and everyone else followed me to pursue those rebels!" Zhang Jing ordered immediately, but it made Xu Cheng and others a little overwhelmed: "General, you are..."

"Chen Da colluded with the Cai clan to take you to rebel under your command, and he was even more aggressive in attacking the south gate that our army guarded. Haven't you understood it yet?" Zhang Jing had no time to explain more. After leaving this sentence, he decisively got on the horse and led his people to rush past the stunned soldiers of Yizi camp, then ran out of the west gate, and headed straight to the west.

It was not until a long time before the soldiers of the Yi Battalion responded and were shocked: "How could this... be?"

"No, it's not true, right? We fought against the south gate of Fancheng before, and it was not the rebels who guarded the city, but the official army?"

"It's us. Do you think we are like rebels?" Some of the soldiers left behind looked at them angrily, but they made the generals even more panicked and didn't know what to do.

...

Outside the city, on the main road, a team was moving forward quickly. In order to hide their whereabouts as much as possible, they only lit a few torches in front of their heads, and there was no fire behind them.

They were the Cai clan and Chen Da’s confidant, and they had only seven or eight hundred people together. Seeing that the situation was over, they would definitely finish staying in Xiangfan area, so they decided to escape from this area first, and then find a safe place to stay. Xu Tu’s plan later.

Chen Da was really regretful at this time. If he had known this was the result, he would not have been deceived by interests and participated in this rebellion. However, it was hard to mention it at this time. He could only look at his uncle and said, "Can we go and hide in the next place?"

"Going south, passing the Yizi Camp's base and going west, it is a hiding place that our Cai family has arranged for many years. The village there is very hidden, and the government would never have thought we would hide there." Cai Dechang said with a calm face. The defeat in this game was too fast and too miserable, and even he regretted it.

Luo Tian Sect, who should have cooperated with him and others in the uprising, was defeated by the government early in the morning, which led to his rush to rise up and eventually defeated him, without even foreign aid. These guys said it nicely, but when it came to uprising, they were useless, especially Chen Da, who had high hopes for him, even...

"What about the future?" The person who asked this was not Chen Da, but a subordinate who had been silently following him not far behind. Because of the fire in front of him, his expression was completely hidden in the darkness.

Cai Dechang frowned. Even Chen Da dared to talk to him so rudely. A military leader was so ruthless! But thinking about his current situation, he still suppressed his displeasure and replied: "I will naturally find another place to stay in the future. My Cai family still has a large number of tribe members and money outside, so I will never starve to death..."

"What if the government investigates it? So many of us..."

"Then let's go separately and break it into pieces. The world is so big that we can't hide people?" Cai Zhili snorted. So these Qiu Bas are useless, so it's better not to take them.

However, Chen Da's expression suddenly changed at this moment, and then he heard a faint voice from behind him: "I thought it was unnecessary to be such a trouble. There was another way to ensure that most of us could live our lives safely again..."

"What method?" Cai Zhili asked casually, then his heart moved, and his body was full of coldness. What they meant was...

"Puchi--" A bloody knife tip suddenly appeared in front of Chen Da, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. After all, he ignored this most fatal problem.

Although these soldiers could have been bribed by the Cai family's rewards and their own official wishes, they were at the end of their journey, but now they are at the end of their lives, and these people can no longer be wandering around the world with the entire Cai family to be the shameful ditch rats.

Moreover, they have a more cost-effective choice, which is to kill all of them, capture them alive, and then offer them all to the government. In this way, these troops will be forgiven for their sins even if they are not good. There is no problem to be an ordinary citizen.
