Zhao Guangyi led 600 cavalry of his cronies and chased more than 100 miles eastward on the muddy road, without even seeing Zhang He's shadow. had no choice but to turn back and run to Wuguan to catch up with the main army.
When he was halfway through, a cronie in charge of the search suddenly came to report quickly: "Report to the second master, Zhang He's traces have been found in the village three miles to the left." ” "Haha, it's not that I don't report it, it's just that the time has not yet come for me Zhao Guangyi to vowed to avenge the humiliation of the previous time" Zhao Guangyi let out a cruel smile, waved the spear in his hand, and ordered his cronies to lead the way, "Sons, follow me to arrest the traitor Zhang He" Zhang He braved the rain to drive forty or fifty miles eastward, evaded Zhao Guangyi's pursuit, and had just begged a family in the village for food when he was discovered by Zhao Guangyi's scouts.
Zhang He was unarmed, secretly screaming in his heart that it was not good, and he didn't care to explain it to the farmers, so he grabbed a shovel and ran wildly outside the village, hoping to hide in the crops and wait for an opportunity to escape.
After all, the cavalry chasing were all cronies of the Zhao brothers, and Zhang He didn't think he could convince them.
It's just that the road is narrow, and Zhang He, who was covered in mud, just rushed to the entrance of the village, and met the cavalry led by Zhao Guangyi on a narrow road.
With Zhao Guangyi's shout, hundreds of cavalry lined up and surrounded Zhang He in the center.
"Traitor Zhang He, do you still want to go, why don't you hurry up and arrest him" Zhao Guangyi immediately crossed the gun, letting out a gloomy sneer, with a villainous expression.
Zhang He held a shovel in his hand, maintained a defensive posture, and admonished the knight beside Zhao Guangyi: "Brothers, you are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, why do you help the Zhao brothers to plot and rebel, you must not be blinded by him, and when it is too late to regret it in the future, you will now rein in the precipice, help me take down the traitor, and I will definitely be able to atone for my sins."
Zhao Guangyi immediately ridiculed him: "Zhang He, you traitor don't want to spew blood, you are just a general, and you miss the grace of the old master Yuan Shao, so you conspire to collude with Sun Ce."
I caught the evidence, and I actually took a bite here about He killed Zhang He was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and he was crowned as a general."
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and these people have been following the Zhao brothers for a long time, they are very loyal, and they believe that Zhang He is a thief.
After receiving Zhao Guangyi's order, they shouted and waved their weapons, driving the horses to pounce on Zhang He.
Although he was in a desperate situation, Zhang He was not in a panic, and the shovel in his hand was swung out, cutting down the cavalry who rushed to the ground first, snatching the spear and turning over on his horse.
"Zhang Junyi never kills his own soldiers, if you wait for each other to work hard, don't blame me for being ruthless under the gun" Zhang He waved his gun to parry, and used psychological warfare to break the fighting spirit of Zhao's cronies.
"Hugh wants to listen to him, a traitor who sells for glory, single-handedly, can still put on wings and fly away" Zhao Guangyi knew that he was not Zhang He's opponent, so he hid behind and commanded the cavalry to come forward to besiege Zhang He.
These horsemen bullied Zhang He and pounced on their horses.
Zhang He knew that he couldn't make a ruthless move, but he was afraid that he couldn't deter the other party, and at that moment, the spear was like electricity, provoking several spear flowers, and picking down more than ten soldiers in a row, so as to curb the momentum of the enemy's advance.
"Give me arrows and shoot this guy into a hedgehog" Seeing Zhang He's marksmanship, Zhao Guangyi changed his strategy.
Hundreds of cavalry bent their bows and arrows and aimed at Zhang He.
At the last moment, a sharp sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded from behind Zhao Guangyi, as fast as a meteor With a "poof", the sharp arrow penetrated the armor, hitting Zhao Guangyi's left shoulder, and suddenly shot through the blade.
The severe pain made Zhao Guangyi's eyes darken, and his limbs suddenly lost strength, and he turned over and fell off the horse.
The sound of vigorous horses' hooves came from far and near, and a horse as red as red carbon galloped over, and a general immediately was majestic, holding a halberd and shouting loudly, "Zhang Junyi is going to panic, Xue Li is coming to your aid."
"General Xue help me, the Zhao brothers and Chang Yuchun are reversed" Zhang He was desperate, the spear stabbed several people like lightning, and the other cavalry who were shocked were in chaos, and the bow and arrow in his hand didn't know whether to put it well or not Why did Xue Rengui suddenly appear here In the blink of an eye, the red rabbit horse had already rushed to the front of hundreds of cavalry with Xue Rengui on his shoulder, drawing a halberd in his hand, and scolding sharply: "You are all Han soldiers, and you have fallen into the tricks of the Zhao brothers, and you still don't know if you really want a way to go until it is dark, if you repent, it is not too late, otherwise I Xue Rengui will be ruthless under the halberd."
If the Zhao brothers accused Zhang He of being a thief, and these soldiers still believed it, then in the face of Xue Rengui, they only had a sense of awe and did not dare to have the slightest hostility.
First of all, Xue Rengui is one of the few generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his official position is second only to Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Qin Qiong, and his status is 108,000 miles worse than that of the miscellaneous general Zhao Kuangyin.
For example, Xue Rengui is like the commander of the military region in later generations, and Zhao Kuangyin's status is equivalent to that of a division commander; The division commander asked the small soldiers to catch the deputy division commander, maybe some people dared to do it, but if the commander was arrested, it is estimated that few would dare to be the first bird.
Moreover, as soon as Xue Rengui made a move, he shot Zhao Guangyi off the horse, fell to the ground unconscious, and the dragons were leaderless for a while.
In addition, Xue Rengui is also the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven and the husband of Princess Wannian, and he may be slightly inferior to Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Qin Qiong in terms of official position, but in terms of identity, I am afraid that no one in the entire Jinling court will dare not sell his face The Zhao brothers accused Zhang He of rebellion, and Xue Rengui stood up and accused the Zhao brothers of rebellion, so who is the real rebel In terms of Xue Rengui's identity and status, he should not rebel, so to speak, it is the Zhao brothers who are opposed The most important thing is that Xue Rengui's fame is in full swing, when he entered Luoyang, the Xiliang Army shot by three arrows collapsed; Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Li Dao, the three major leaders of Xiliang, were all killed with one arrow, and Luoyang, which was guarded by hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, let him come and go freely, unscathed, and he relied on a few hundred horsemen, how could he get others All of a sudden, the hundreds of cavalrymen present were confused, and they put down their weapons one after another, bowing their heads and not daring to speak, let alone knowing what to do At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the southeast direction, and one hundred and ten horsemen galloped over, all dressed as brocade guards, and it was Li Yuanfang and his party who came.
After coming to the front, Li Yuanfang asked about the situation clearly, turned over and dismounted and saluted Xue Rengui: "It turns out that Xue Yuma is here, it's really good, I have His Majesty's edict here."
Ordered to bring Zhao Kuangyin into the capital and appoint another appointment, if there is anything unusual in Chang Yuchun, he will also be taken away, if the two refuse to obey the edict, they will be killed on the spot" "Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun have already reversed, I don't know if they are still staying in Wuguan at this moment, please ask General Xue to go to Wuguan to suppress it quickly. lest he be coerced by his soldiers and horses to join the enemy" Zhang He didn't have time to explain in detail, and said a rough idea in a hurry.
"What Chang and Zhao are the opposite" Li Yuanfang was taken aback, "Fortunately, Your Majesty was prescient, but it's a pity that I took my brothers to travel day and night, and the two thousand five hundred miles traveled for three days and three nights, and everyone changed their mounts at least ten times, but I didn't expect to be one step late."
"Fortunately, Zhao Er was caught, first taken into custody, and then interrogated slowly" Zhang He took a step forward, picked up Zhao Guangyi, who had just woken up, and threw it to the Jinyi guard behind Li Yuanfang.
Holding the holy decree, he said loudly to hundreds of dazed-looking cavalrymen: "See, this is the real holy decree is an edict personally issued by Lord Li under the command of Jinyiwei, Your Majesty said in the edict, if Chang Yuchun and Zhao Kuangyin behave abnormally, they will be killed on the spot, and you now know which one is the thief."
Hundreds of cavalry dismounted one after another, and there was silence, and no one made a sound.
There are Zhao Kuangyin's sworn cronies, but more people are innocents who have been kept in the dark, and at this moment the truth is revealed, and they know that they have been used, so they have to pretend to be confused silently.
And Zhao Kuangyin's supporters saw that the general trend had gone, and they could only obediently accept the reality, and maybe they could get away with it and save their lives.
Xue Rengui turned over and got on his horse and asked Li Yuanfang for the holy decree: "There are still 5,000 cavalry I brought in the back hundred and ten miles, and they were left behind by my red rabbit horse."
Zhang Junyi, you are responsible for leading the follow-up, I will go to Wuguan first, do my best to catch up with Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun, expose the truth of their false holy decree and conspiracy to rebel, save 30,000 soldiers, and hold Wuguan" t1706231537:
