Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 32
Guan Ziyang and his entourage fled overnight, leaving behind the rhetoric of bringing peace to the world for the time being.

I left in a hurry, I just suffered from the old scalper of the Guan family...

After walking day and night for three days, he finally left Jingzhou and arrived in Cangwu County, Guangzhou. It was only two days away from Luofu by water.

It's early summer in Guangzhou at this time, and it's already sweltering and hot, and it seems that the old scalper can't keep up.

"Young Master, you guys are going to cool off under this post booth. I'll take the cow to the river to drink water. The weather is too hot. If the old cow doesn't soak in the water for a while, I'm afraid it will go bad." Tie Wei said.

Hei Nuer hurriedly said: "Uncle Tiewei, I'll go with you, and I'm going to take a bath too, hehe..."

Guan Ziyang took off only his loose white coat, fanned him nonstop, and said impatiently, "Go, go, I'm so hot..."

Qingchan pouted: "Little Lang, it's very indecent for you to just dress like this. Put on your outer shirt. There are a lot of pedestrians on this official road, so don't let people see it as a joke."

Guan Ziyang said again: "Oh, how can you stand such a hot day? If others want to laugh, they can just laugh."

As soon as the words fell, three war horses came galloping on the official road. Why are they war horses? Because the horses are covered with horse armor, and the people on the horses are all in black light armor. The black luster is very dazzling in the sun.

There were not many battle armors for soldiers in the Jin Dynasty. Black light armor and bright light armor were the two best iron armors. General soldiers still mainly used the lower-cost sleeve armor, also known as fish scale shirt.

Seeing a pavilion by the side of the road, Sanqi was the first to say: "The weather is too strong, feed the horses water before leaving."

The three got off the horse, each took out the water bag hanging on their body, each took a few big gulps, and handed it to the mouth of the war horse to feed the water.The three of them were busy with themselves, and they didn't seem to see Guan Ziyang and Qingchan in the pavilion.

Naturally, Guan Ziyang was more concerned than less, and took the initiative to lean against the pavilion with Qing Chan to make room for the three of them.

"Lord Zhou Mu, Fan Ben died in Chengdu last month. Zhou Fu's [-] elite soldiers are approaching us at Zitong. Deng Yue said that he would send [-] troops. I don't know if it's true or not. Let's..." The soldier said halfway, The other person winked with a squint, and the soldier quickly shut up.

The leader was at least 1.9 meters tall, with a big beard on his face. He glanced at Guan Ziyang, turned his head and smiled and said, "It's okay, just keep talking. They're just two little kids. When you leave, just kill them." yes."

……

Guan Ziyang's heart sank, what kind of operation is this stupid!
The man continued: "Huan Wen's energy is now in our Yizhou. This Deng Yue can still live a good life for a few days. He still understands the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. But let's go back to Zitong County first, and he will be there in two months." what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? If we can persist for two months, it means that we are still saved. If we can't persist for two months, he will naturally not have to send troops to help." Another soldier said.

When Guan Ziyang heard this, he couldn't guess that the leader was called Master Zhou Mu, who else could he be if he didn't call himself Yizhou Mu Xiao Jingwen.

"Didn't he be surrounded by Huan Wen in Zitong County? He was able to pretend to be an ordinary soldier and travel hundreds of miles south to find Deng Yue, the governor of Guangzhou, to borrow troops. It seems that Deng Yue has already agreed to him, but it will take two months."

"In the official history, Huan Wen sent troops for the first time in 349 and was repelled by Xiao Jingwen."

"Until 352, Sima Xun, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhou Fu, the governor of Yizhou, attacked Xiao Jingwen from both the north and the south, and then surrounded Zitong County, and Xiao Jingwen stood firm."

"From February to August, they went out of the city and surrendered. Zhou Fu beheaded him and sent them back to Jiankang, the capital."

And the big man in front of him who threatened to kill him before he left was the traitor general Xiao Jingwen, and Guan Ziyang was angry from the heart, and the evil came to his side.

"Dog thief, if you want to kill me, maybe I will attack first. If you are not prepared to sneak attack, you may not be able to kill you first."

Guan Ziyang estimated the distance and the plan for his actions later.

Qing Chan was already so frightened that her legs were trembling, she faintly moved in front of Guan Ziyang.

Guan Ziyang looked at Qing Chan's small movements and was also moved: "This girl, you are so scared that you still don't forget to protect me. Even if I die, I won't let them touch you!"

The three continued to talk, Guan Ziyang secretly mobilized the innate energy in his body, and later he would try to kill one person with one blow, so that he would have a slight chance of winning.

He doesn't know how Xiao Jingwen's martial arts are, but whoever dares to rebel has no real skills!
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder-like noise in the distance, and it became louder and louder, and the yellow sand above the official road was flying all over the sky!After a few breaths, it was clear that a large group of soldiers and horses galloped across the road.

Xiao Jingwen remained motionless, looking into the distance, one of his subordinates shouted: "Lord Zhou Mu, this Deng Yue has regretted it, and sent us troops!"

Xiao Jingwen didn't speak, but said lightly: "It's very good."

After a while, thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded the post booth completely.With a ring-locked armor and a horizontal sword, the general immediately said, "I am Zhang Zhen, the governor of Cangwu County, under the order of Mr. Deng, the governor of Guangzhou, to arrest the Yizhou rebels."

Xiao Jingwen took a step forward, laughed, and said contemptuously, "Oh? Then did Mr. Deng tell you, what is the name of the traitor you want to arrest?"

Zhang Zhendao: "I didn't say my name, but your black light armor is too obvious, who else could it be!"

"That's right, I am the Yizhou rebel, but he didn't tell you my name, because he was afraid that you would not dare to come. In fact, he didn't ask you to catch me, but to send you to die!"

Zhang Zhen's expression froze: "You!"

"You are Xiao Jingwen?"

"That's right! Exactly!" After Xiao Jingwen finished speaking, he pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at Zhang Zhen: "Master Deng is very good, I gave you some greeting gifts first, then I will accept it!"

With a wave of the long sword in his hand, the black sword energy soared to the sky, flew up in the air, and cut down with a sword.

The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and the [-]-foot-long black sword energy went straight to Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen blocked it with the spear in his hand. Suddenly split into two!
Guan Ziyang was dumbfounded, is this the power of a general in this world?Remembering that I didn't think I could do a sneak attack just now, I'm afraid it's just a mantis' arm.

As soon as Zhang Zhen died, thousands of soldiers and horses panicked. This is Xiao Jingwen, the 'Black Fury Sword Demon'! People ranked tenth on the "Martial Arts Grandmaster List", how can they be no match for the county's motley guards!

A school lieutenant shouted: "Everyone, don't panic! Set up formation!"

Formation, specially created for generals whose strength is too amazing to restrain, it can gather the strength of soldiers to resist a certain powerful enemy together!
But these soldiers who have not fought a few battles in the Taiping territory have no real skills.

The panicked soldiers were frightened when they heard Xiao Jingwen's name!They all started to retreat, and since Zhang Zhen was dead, who would listen to his orders as a captain.

Xiao Jingwen kicked his foot, and it flew straight towards the captain like an off-string arrow. Before the captain raised the weapon in his hand, Xiao Jingwen's long sword had already pierced his chest!
"Put down your weapons, and I will surround you without death. Those who don't surrender! Kill without mercy!" Following Xiao Jingwen's roar with strong inner strength, thousands of soldiers put down their weapons one after another!
Good guy, he surrounded thousands of soldiers and horses by himself, and successfully captured them!

Guan Ziyang was panicked, and now he was thinking about "how to save my life later!"
