Chapter 60 The second quarter

When the soldiers of Wu and Han sent to Nanyang, they still remembered Liu Xiu's lesson at the beginning and did not dare to indulge the soldiers. After conquering Wancheng, they soon returned to their old ways.Successive victories have dazzled his mind, and the power to do whatever he wants has led to arrogance. Liu Xiu's painstaking exhortations to him before his departure have long since become deaf ears. Unlike Liu Xiu, although Nanyang is also Wu Han's hometown, the memories left to him are not happy.Wu Han was a young man from a poor family, full of blind eyes and bullying. When he grew up, he finally squeezed into the civil service team and became a kiosk leader. , In the end, he had to leave his hometown and go to exile in Hebei.

When he left Nanyang, he was ashamed and unwilling. When he returned to his homeland this time, of course he felt proud.Now he is an official in the Grand Sima, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. He wants Nanyang to prostrate at his feet and make up for his loss in the past. As for Liu Xiu's exhortation, he also refused to accept it.He is a military commander, his bounden duty is to win battles, kindness does not lead soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, in order to win, he will do whatever it takes, at all costs.As for caring for the common people, that's the business of civil servants, and he doesn't want to do it.

In fact, even if Wu Han had the heart, it would be difficult for him to restrain his subordinates.The subordinates have been fighting for many years, and they have long been used to being reckless and reckless. It is difficult for them to change course suddenly!Moreover, his subordinates are all Hebei soldiers, and they have no feelings for Nanyang at all, and they have not turned around in their thinking. Sovereignty means that no one has sovereignty. Of course, if you don't grab white, you can grab more and more.The red eyebrow army and the green forest army won it, so why can't we grab it?

Wu Han defeated all the way, and the soldiers also burned, killed and looted all the way, indulging in brutality, almost no different from the Red Eyebrow Army and the Green Forest Army.Wu Han saw it, but he didn't stop it. On the contrary, he felt that it was not easy to be a soldier, and he was also eating his youth.Only by allowing them to plunder and plunder can improve their morale and maintain their combat effectiveness. The people of Nanyang dragged their families and fled after hearing the news. Their destination was Xinye, where there was nothing but Deng Feng. Wu Han was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and successively captured the cities of Nieyang, Li, and Rang. They followed the fleeing people, driving chickens and ducks, and traveled to Xinye within a few days. Here" four characters.

Wu Han rode his horse and circled the monument, suddenly furious.Before Liu Xiu left, he told him not to mess with Deng Feng.He still doesn't believe in evil, but wants to provoke Deng Feng to try! Didn't Deng Feng just kill a giant in Kunyang? What's the big deal?Deng Feng is just such a battle example, which can't explain any problems.But he, Wu Han, has experienced hundreds of battles with few defeats, and his subordinates are all elite cavalry from Hebei, so he has no reason to be afraid of Deng Feng.The more Liu Xiu told him not to provoke Deng Feng, the more rebellious he became in his heart. He felt that Liu Xiu looked down on him, and he must fight for it.

Wu Han ordered people to tear down the monument and smash it to pieces.With a wave of the command flag, the army went straight to Xinye. Five miles into Xinye, suddenly a young man riding a white horse floated up, blocked the way of the army, and said proudly: "I would like to see Wu Da Sima." Wu Han snorted coldly, and said, "You see. Say it!" The young man said: "Under the order of Marquis Deng, please let Da Sima return to his teacher and leave the country. Xinye has already surrendered to the imperial court, and the people are also the subjects of the emperor. Fortunately, don't disturb them."

Wu Han looked up to the sky and smiled, a mere boy, alone on a horse, if you tell me to go back, I will go back, then I would lose face, so I sternly said: "Since the army has entered Xinye, there is no reason for it to return!" The young man's face remained unchanged, and he said again: "By the order of Marquis Deng, please return to the teacher and leave the country." Wu Han became more and more annoyed, and shouted: "You dare to stop the army! Take it down with me!" The young man said with a smile, "Don't bother Da Sima. I have humiliated my mission. I have no face to see Deng Hou again. Please commit suicide and apologize." After speaking, he drew his sword and smiled again, "Deng Hou will avenge me." After speaking, he waved his sword His throat was cut, blood gushed out like a fountain, and he fell on the horse's back.The horse turned around as if psychic, carried the dead master on its back, galloped away, and disappeared into the sky immediately.

Wu Han rubbed his eyes, not knowing whether what he saw just now was real or an illusion, a chill ran down his spine for no reason.If one person dies, a hundred people cannot be defeated. If all the youths under Deng Feng are like this, they will indeed be invincible.But Wu Han's words have already been spoken, how can he show weakness halfway, so he urged his troops to go. A few miles away, there was another young knight waiting under the tree.When the young man saw Wu Han's army, he rode up to meet Wu Han without the slightest fear, and said to Wu Han, "Forgive others and forgive them. Xinye is innocent, and the people are innocent. By order of Marquis Deng, please return to the army and leave the country."

Wu Han's blood surged, and he said angrily: "Deng Feng, all the officials and nobles are under me, how dare you stop my army again and again! Watch me attack Xinye, and take his head to relieve my hatred!" The young man's face was calm, and he said indifferently: "The words have been brought. Since Da Sima refuses to return to the teacher, please thank him with death." After speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself. The horse turned around and carried the corpse away. Two teenagers committed suicide one after another. All the officers and men under Wu Han's command felt guilty. They were already a little bit timid in their aura, and they dared not rush in any more. The fiefdom, Deng told the emperor, it is destined to be our fault, so we might as well take a detour."

Wu Han said angrily: "I was ordered by the emperor to pacify Nanyang. Now that the bandits are rushing into Xinye, if they are not wiped out, why should they be reinstated to the court? If the emperor blames me, I will bear it alone. Why should you be afraid of it?" After speaking, he urged the troops to advance and went straight to Xinye City.The soldiers followed Wu Han tremblingly, fearing that another young man who was not afraid of death would appear on the road and block their way and perform suicide for them.They are really scared. Finally arrived at the foot of Xinye City, everyone looked around, but saw that the city gate was closed, no one was at the top of the city, and there was no sound in the city, it was like an empty city, there was no life, only death.The more empty the city was, the more uncertain the people were, and they persuaded Wu Han: "Da Sima, why don't we go back. The emperor has already told you not to mess with Deng Feng. Let's give the emperor a face and let Deng Feng go. , this kid Deng Feng has a strong backing, Yin Guiren's cousin, Changshan prefect Deng Chen's nephew, chief situ Deng Yu is his cousin..."

The more his subordinates persuaded him, the more he added fuel to the fire, even if Deng Feng was the king of heaven, Wu Han would still want to provoke him now.Wu Han ignored the crowd, looked at the city hysterically and shouted: "Deng Feng, come out and answer."
