(Chapter 2: Around 12 o 'clock in the evening. This time I got heatstroke and took a good rest. In the last few days there have been a lot of new Zhuangyuan. I will try to thank them one by one by the end of the month. PS: I hope there will be more suggestions and criticism in the book review section and Tieba. I will read them all. If there is something, I will correct it. If there is nothing, I will encourage it. PS2: I feel like in the blink of an eye, the second volume is about to reach a hundred chapters!)
Under Sweet Potato's instruction, they followed the military book's policy of besieging the city, deliberately leaving a way out. It was obvious that Tao Yong was willing to abandon the foundation of Dunhuang. He took the lead in abandoning the Mao family, which had lost its backbone, and escaped with his trusted subordinates. The old general of Jinxi Province, Lu Wu, had no choice. His whole family and his life were hanging in the city. Before he died bravely in battle, he loudly begged Sweet Potato not to cut the weeds and pull out the roots, so that his Lu family could survive. Sweet Potato ignored him. Lu Wu died with his eyes open. The Mao family's retainers were all killed in battle. It was clear that Mao Rui, father and daughter, did not have moral integrity, but in terms of raising their soldiers, they indeed had a unique ability. Xu Pu slaughtered the Jin Wu Guards outside the Palace. The remaining surviving cavalrymen were scared out of their wits. They threw away their weapons and prostrated themselves on the ground.
Xu Pu casually picked up an iron spear and returned confidently. He saw Sweet Potato, as well as Hsu Fengnian, who was sitting on a bookcase to regulate his breathing and recuperate. Sweet Potato wanted to say something but hesitated. Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "Dunhuang is your city, you know best the pros and cons. Don't worry about me, just do what you need to do. This Uncle Xu is my Shifu's best friend, you can trust him. "
"Greetings, Governor." Sweet Potato curled her skirt and gently performed a 'Wan Fu' gesture. First private, then official. With a stern countenance she said, "I will have to trouble Uncle Xu to lead fifty cavalrymen to pursue and annihilate Tao Yong, leaving him alone to return to Orange Province. This can be considered Dunhuang City giving Murong Baoding some face. Uncle Xu will lead the troops to the Imperial Mending Platform. You don't have to do anything. "
Xu Pu accepted the order and left. A few old eunuchs and female officials from the Palace of Purple Gold who were lucky enough to survive also followed behind this strange middle-aged man. With a few words, Xu Pu roped in fifty to sixty Golden Knights who wanted to atone for their crimes and charged toward the Imperial Mending Platform that was either wavering or biding its time.
Hsu Fengnian had been sitting on his book box the whole time to heal himself. Although he looked like he was covered in blood, he was actually only lightly injured and his external injuries were not serious. However, his meridians were severely damaged. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was able to fight against five hundred cavalry alone. Although the Mao Family Iron Cavalry lacked experts to oversee them, they still had to rely on Hsu Fengnian's iron fist and the promise of generous rewards to hide in the thickest part of the cavalry formation. She ordered the cavalry to launch continuous attacks, throwing spears and crossbows. Later on, she even used the method of charging dozens of cavalry at the same time. Among them, some of the cavalry captains who were slightly more powerful took advantage of the opportunity to ambush Hsu Fengnian. It could be said that if both sides were playing chess on the Chessboard Mountain, they only cared about the lives of the chess pieces and did not care about the hearts of the people. Even if Hsu Fengnian risked his life to kill a hundred cavalry, he would still be doomed to die outside the city gate. However, when Spring and Autumn used the Sword Qi Rolling Wall and the Green Dragon Sleeve to open the way and used the Spring Thunder Saber to stab Mao Rou to death, it was as if he had beheaded a general in an army. The Iron Cavalry's morale fell to the bottom and they could no longer gather their momentum. It was reasonable for the army to be defeated like a landslide. Even if Hsu Fengnian had fifty to sixty percent of his Great Yellow Hall realm and the initial stage of Vajra realm, he would still need to recuperate for twenty years to recover. This bloody battle was no less thrilling than the death battle with Tuoba Chunsun and the other two experts on the grassland. In the marketplace, it was like a strong young man fighting three men of the same age. In the eyes of the onlookers, it was very exciting. The latter was like risking his life against hundreds of children, being entangled endlessly, bitten several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times. It was equally hair-raising.
Hsu Fengnian calmly looked at those Jianghu people, who, after the dust had settled, looked somewhat nervous. He then looked at the sturdy old man, who had fallen to the ground dead. This Dunhuang city's Lu family head originally wanted to put on a tiger that would not fall down, before he died, he would crush his iron spear into the ground and hold it with both hands until he died. However, very quickly he was hacked down by some people's sabers and trampled over. Some astute Jianghu people fought as they walked. They approached the corpse, pretended to roll on the ground, got close to the old man's body, and with a touch, stole the jade pendant on his waist. Several people who were slow to act followed suit, rolling back and forth on Lu Wu's corpse. They did not even let go of the jade-inlaid buckle, which was taken away. There was only one ox-leather boot left on his feet. It was said that the dead were the most important, but in Jianghu, who cared about being the most important? At this time, other than the two fragrant maids curled up in the corner of the carriage, the rest of the Mao family were already dead. A sharp-eyed Wulin man wanted to go to the carriage to have a good time. Even if he did not take off his pants and did not work, it would be good to have a good time. In the end, Xu Pu, who was riding on top of him, happened to stab him in the back with a spear. With a twist of the spearhead, his body was torn in half. No one dared to mess around in the chaos.
Hsu Fengnian had already put the Spring Thunder Saber back into the box. A blood-stained scarlet Spring and Autumn Sword lay across his knees. He said to Sweet Potato, who was standing beside him, "How do we appease the many forces that have surrendered?"
Sweet Potato thought for a moment and said, "These aftermath matters should be handed over to Governor Xu Pu. I should have died outside the palace gate. It is not good to draw legs on a snake."
She smiled. "Since the young master is here, of course it is up to you to make the decision."
Hsu Fengnian furrowed his brows. "I will only watch. I won't talk or do anything. But first you have to arrange a passable identity for me. Right, even you know Xu Pu. Will anyone recognize him as the former Governor of the 12th Light Cavalry Battalion of the Beiliang army? "
