Chapter 349: The Scholar's Proudness (I)

"drive……"

The horse was whipping, and the knight on the horse rode forward frantically.

Cangzhou City was ahead. The guards discovered the enemy early and set up a siege to resist the horse, and were ready to fight.

However, the knight on the horse had no intention of entering the city. He drove his horse along the city wall and walked around the city, drawing out a bow and arrow and raising the arrows.

"Swoosh..."

An arrow fell onto the city wall from afar.

The soldiers looked at each other. The man's archery skills were obviously not good. The arrow was clearly aimed at the flagpole, but in fact it was quite far behind and it just fell on the top of the city wall.

But his arm strength is far beyond their comparison. Even if he wants to give him a shot, he has the will but lacks the strength.

The knight kept running and shouted loudly: "The victory in Taiyuan, General Xu Haifeng and Xu, the Black Flag Army, personally led 100,000 iron cavalry to defeat the Huns at the city of Taiyuan, and killed 200,000 enemy heads. Countless people captured. Now the Huns fled in a panic and disturbed their neighbors. The General's Order: Anyone who raises the righteous flag, surrenders to the Han Dynasty, and captures the defeated Huns, will not blame the past for the mistakes."

His voice was strong and powerful, spreading from afar, although it could not spread throughout the city. However, the people inside the city gate could hear clearly.

After a while, I don’t know who made the first shout, and then there was a thunderous sound of joy.

The joy spreads very quickly, and everyone runs around and tells each other, with unconcealed ecstasy in their eyes.

The city is boiling...

The knight kept his mouth and slashed twice in the air.

The BMW under his crotch suddenly exerted force and left for a moment.

He also had to send flyers to the next city and village. Although he was very tired at this time, he was extremely excited, like drinking nectar and indulging in it without any pain.

As early as the first day of the victory, Xu Haifeng transferred the military's experts and fifty members of the special forces.

Each of them brought two horses and prepared enough water and food.

Of course, the most important thing is the thick stack of flyers and several sets of arrow boxes.

As for the marching route, Xu Haifeng had already arranged it for them.

They walked all the way, if they encountered cities, villages, and towns, no matter whether there was a single person inside.

They all put an arrow on a flyer and shot it into it.

At the same time, he shouted loudly, spreading the news of the victory throughout the Han Dynasty.

Although the Huns controlled most of the northern regions.

However, they have not occupied for a long time and people's hearts have not yet been gathered.

After obtaining the exact news, most of the officials and gentlemen who had surrendered to the Huns and pretended to be sons in front of them abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, united and killed the Huns nearby.

Anyone already knows that the Huns have exhausted their energy, and it is the turn of the Han Dynasty to make a comeback.

So, in just a few days, the entire northern land was filled with the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Han Dynasty again.

"Master, Master..."

A hurried call came from the yamen gate. The old butler took two steps at a time and hurried to arrive.

Zeng Zhihong raised his head from the desk, and all the official documents in Cang and the other prefectures were already concentrated here.

Since he became the supreme supervisor of the two states, he has been busy with darkness and day and night.

However, he could only use this kind of never-ending work to numb himself. As soon as it was empty, a young innocent face would flash in front of his eyes.

"What's the matter?" A voice filled with fatigue slowly rang.

"Master, a messenger just came to report the victory in Taiyuan."

"bite……"

The pen in his hand fell to the ground inadvertently, but Zeng Zhihong seemed to be conscious of nothing.

His body suddenly stood up from his seat, and due to excessive tension, his voice trembled a little. He asked softly: "Which messenger is it? Is it from Marshal Gu?"

Zeng Zhihong stared at the old housekeeper with his eyes tightly, afraid that he would make a negative move.

However, what made him fall into deep despair was that the old housekeeper's head was shaking like a rattle.

His body sat down dejectedly, and the chair behind him suddenly felt heavy pressure, making an unpleasant "scream..." sound.

"Did the Huns actually win?" he murmured.

"No... Master." The old housekeeper did not notice Zeng Zhihong's changes. He was still addicted to joy. He said incoherently: "Win, we won."

"Did the Han people win?"

“That’s right, we won.”

The ecstatic voice erupted from his throat uncontrollably. From great sorrow to great joy, Zeng Zhihong stood up again, but only felt that his eyes were filled with stars. His steps staggered and almost fell.

The old butler noticed this time and immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Didn't you say it's not the messenger of Grandmaster Gu?"

After stabilizing his emotions, Zeng Zhihong suddenly remembered something and asked.

After the strong emotional changes just now, he was a little worried about gains and losses.

He held his eyes and paid attention to the old butler's every move, for fear that he would hear any negative news from him.

"It is indeed not General Gu, but General Xu's messenger."

"General Xu? Which General Xu?" Zeng Zhihong asked in surprise.

The old butler slapped his forehead, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zeng Zhihong, and said, "Master, a messenger shot this arrow into the city just now. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "The Black Flag Army Commander Xu Da led 100,000 elite troops, defeated the Huns at the city of Taiyuan, beheaded 200,000, and countless prisoners." The young man got the news, picked up the letter and came to you immediately."

After snatching the letter, Zeng Zhihong couldn't wait to open it and browse it quickly.

After a long time, he closed his eyes, and a trace of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, which were tears of joy.

"Master...Master..." The old butler called carefully from the side.

Zeng Zhihong woke up from his dream. He took a deep breath and his voice suddenly became stern: "Hurry, find Chen Yinggao for me."

"Yes..." The old housekeeper responded and turned around. However, as soon as he went out, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Master, Deputy Guard Chen is here."

One person strodes with the old housekeeper behind. It was Chen Yinggao, the guard leader of the former garrison general of Cangzhou.

"Ying Gao, have you received the news?"

"Yes, sir, it's a lot of controversy in the whole city, and it's hard not to know."

Chen Yinggao's tone was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. This incident happened too suddenly, but it was the great joy he had always dreamed of.

Nodding slightly, Zeng Zhihong asked, "Cangzhou City Guards, can you still control it?"

Chen Yinggao straightened his body, his voice high and powerful: "Don't worry, the city guards are all good men who are loyal to the great man. As long as you give an order and charge into battle, you will never be embarrassed."

"Okay..." Zeng Zhihong's eyes were indifferent, and his voice became even colder: "Then gather the city guards and catch all the Huns in the city, remember... not to leave any one."

"yes……"

Since the Huns took over Cangzhou City, due to the number of people, they could not have placed a large army of idleness here.

Therefore, they only stationed two hundred men.

The position of garrison general of the city guards was naturally appointed by the hundred-man long fence.

At the same time, some of the higher positions in the garrison army were also controlled by the Huns.

However, there are also a small number of places left for the Han people.

Chen Yinggao took on this position under the recommendation of Zeng Zhihong.

At this time, after receiving the news that the Huns were defeated in Taiyuan, Bazhi gathered together early to form a team.

The troops issued an order to block the entire city and drive the pedestrians home. If there is any nonsense, the person who talks will be killed without mercy.

However, his commands are obviously not executed effectively.

After a moment, the noise in the city not only did not diminish, but instead showed an increasing trend.

He was furious and ordered his personal soldiers to prepare horses and to go on battles and kill people to establish authority.

However, before he could leave the lieutenant schoolyard, he heard a clamor outside the door.

He felt nervous and hurried there.

Zeng Zhihong was seen raising his head and striking his chest.

Behind him was a garrison army filled with weapons in their hands and fierce lights splattered in their eyes.

Ba Yi felt an ominous sign in his heart for no reason. He reached out and held the knife handle and shouted, "Mr. Zeng, what do you want to do?"

Zeng Zhihong smiled coldly and said, "Baozhi, I want to do what I want to do, don't you know yet?"

Ba Yi's pupils gradually contracted, and he whispered: "Zeng Zhihong, do you want to betray the Shanyu?"

"Betray?" Zeng Zhihong's eyes suddenly gasped in the second group of angry angry: "If it weren't for you group of Hun dogs, would I have to betrayed? I wish I could eat raw flesh and blood to eliminate my hatred."

Ba Yi also flashed with anger in his eyes, but he was naturally not a reckless person to be appointed as the supervisor of Cangzhou.

He calmed down and suddenly said, "Sir Zeng, others can rebel, but you can't."

“Why?”

"Mr. Zeng, do you still remember Chen Xinhong. He is a martyr of your Han nationality. You have the blood of his orphans on your hands. Do you think the Han people will let you go?" The tone of Bazhi had a temptation: "It's better, listen to my advice and take your family back to the grassland with me. I guarantee you to continue to enjoy wealth and glory."

"Hehe...hehe...hahaha..."

Zeng Zhihong suddenly burst into laughter, but in the end he started howling.

He stared at Bali, his eyes full of resentment. The hatred that came from his bone marrow made Bali shudder inexplicably.

One word at a time, Zeng Zhihong almost said:

"Catch me...I'm going to cut off his head with my own hands."

"yes……"
