Chapter 68 Wang Hun Reports

"What!" Meng Bao's palm trembled, and the wine cup he was holding fell to the ground.

"Meng Shuai, Gaotang City is lost, and there are countless officers and troops."

The broken soldiers who escaped from Gaotang City knelt on the ground, covered in blood.

Meng Bao frowned. Since he occupied Pingyuan Kingdom, he has been stable. Although he heard that there was a Liu Ye in Qingzhou who stirred up the situation, but after all, across the Yellow River, Meng Bao didn't take it seriously. He had long thought of being the king of the mountain, and now Zhang Liang, the hero and general of Guangzong City, was besieged and sent envoys everywhere to ask for help, but Meng Bao just pretended not to see him.

What are you kidding? With 70,000 to 80,000 people in Guangzong City being blocked inside, what small splashes can the 10,000 people under his command make? In this plain city, drinking good wine and playing with beauties, it's a damn joy.

After all, Meng Bao is a handsome man with a yellow scarf, so he pushed the beauty out of his arms, rushed forward, grabbed the collar of Kuu Zuu, the bridge of his nose almost pressed against Kui Zuu's face, and steamed from his mouth .

"How many officers and soldiers are there, and who is leading them?"

The ruffian was startled for a moment, Meng Bao strangled the ruffian so hard that his face turned purple, and hurriedly shouted: "The walls are surrounded by officers and soldiers, I don't know how many there are, I'm afraid they are the victorious officers and soldiers of Qingzhou , it’s time to kill and rush to the plains!”

Meng Bao was furious, he threw the rout out casually, and snorted angrily.

"Close the city gates on all sides, and no officer or soldier is allowed in."

With Meng Bao's order, the gates of Pingyuan City were immediately closed, and the yellow scarf bandits who usually had nothing to do in the city hurriedly put on their clothes, picked up weapons and rushed to the top of the city, standing on the top of the city.

The gate of the city was closed for a full day, but there was no one outside the city. At night, only a small man was seen walking towards the top of the city from a distance.

The little leader of the yellow turban thieves guarding the city suddenly regained his spirits: "Don't sleep! Someone is coming, where is his mother's archer, come up for me."

Most of the yellow turban thieves fought hand in hand, but they also carried many archers from the army, and the Taiping believers also had a lot of hunters, so there were still some archers. A dozen or so archers were lying on the top of the city, with bows and arrows , Around the infantry held up torches, and the flames flickered on the top of the city.

At this time, relying on the firelight from a distance, it was already possible to see who was under the city. There were only a dozen or so people in the group all wearing yellow scarves, and they looked like fellow robes.

However, the little leader of the yellow turban thief still didn't dare to be careless. He snatched a bow and arrow, and shot it with a swish. Only after firing the arrow did he survive.

"Are you crazy? Take a good look at who this handsome is!"

Wang Hun managed to reach the top of Pingyuan City, and just as he was about to take a breath, an arrow shot towards him. Fortunately, "Zhang Dun" saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise he would have been shot to death on the spot.

The little leader of the yellow scarf thieves frowned, and threw down a torch. Zhang Dun reached out and picked it up, which made Wang Hun's fat face red, but his strong and calm appearance really looked a little funny.

The little leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves was taken aback: "Wang Shuai? Aren't you in Gaotang City?"

Wang Hun yelled: "You bastard, you don't know that the officers and soldiers entered Gaotang City. If I didn't run out of the handsome man, I would have left my head in Gaotang City."

The little boss scratched his head: "Wang Shuai, I'm such a fool, I"

"Stop talking nonsense and open the city gate quickly. This commander has something important to explain to Meng Shuai. It's an urgent military situation!"

"But Meng Shuai has an order that the gates of the city are not allowed to be opened day or night, and those who violate it will be executed immediately, and so will I."

Wang Hun was furious: "Open the door quickly, delaying the emergency military situation, how many heads do you have enough to chop off?"

The little boss had no choice but to order the city gate to be opened, and let Wang Hun and his party enter the city. Wang Hun didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the commander's mansion, which was the former county guard's mansion.

The guards of the Sheriff's Mansion also knew Wang Hun, so they let him in naturally, but Zhang Dun and others stayed outside.

Meng Bao was worrying about how to deal with the affairs of the officers and soldiers, but when he saw Wang Hun running in, he was both surprised and happy.

"Wang Hun, you kid isn't dead yet?"

Wang Hun squeezed the fat on his face, and forced two lines of tears out of his eyes: "Meng Shuai, I almost lost sight of you."

Meng Bao hugged Wang Hun excitedly, suddenly his expression changed, he put his kick on Wang Hun's stomach, and kicked the back of his head to the floor, this kick stunned Wang Hun.

"Gaotang City was captured by the government army. There are tens of thousands of people guarding the four gates. How did you get out? Could it be that you surrendered to the court and betrayed the great virtuous teacher!"

Meng Bao held the handle of the knife with one hand, the knuckles protruded under the force, and the finger bones creaked and made a crisp sound. It seemed that as long as Wang Hun dared to say a stupid word, the knife would cut off his head.

Wang Hun was taken aback, and howled violently, knelt on the ground, wiped the floor step by step, hugged Meng Bao firmly with both hands, and touched Meng Bao's trousers with tears and snot.

"Meng Shuai! How could I, Wang Hun, betray the great virtuous and good teacher? I can escape from my life because of the perseverance of my brothers."

"They're just outside, if you don't believe me, call them in and ask!"

Seeing Wang Hun's look of being wronged, Meng Bao slowly let go of the handle of the knife and said hesitantly, "If that's the case, then why weren't you caught by the officers and soldiers? I'm a rout who escaped from Gaotang. Everyone heard it there, and the officers and soldiers encircled the city gates on all sides, at least a few thousand people."

Wang Hun sobbed and said, "Meng Shuai, don't listen to their nonsense. Although the officers and soldiers encircle the city gates, there are only more than a thousand people. They all rely on cavalry to break into the city and drive everyone out. The rest of the infantry blocked the city. The door will be cut down, they don't know how many officers and soldiers there are."

Meng Bao frowned: "Is there really only more than a thousand people?"

Wang Hun nodded hastily: "I guarantee with the head on the item, there are no more than a thousand officers and soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of people in Pingyuan City. If Meng Shuai leads them, the officers and soldiers will definitely be wiped out."

Meng Bao didn't dare to believe Wang Hun's words, so he let Wang Hun get out first, thinking alone in the brightly lit county guard's mansion.

Wang Hun was driven out, but he managed to save his life.

"Brother Zhang, you can rest assured to follow this commander. Meng Shuai has always attached great importance to this commander. If you follow this commander, you will be the commander of the personal army sooner or later." Wang Hun cried bitterly to Meng Bao, but straightened his back to Zhang Dun, He still looks handsome.

Zhang Dungong cupped his hands: "Wang Shuai narrowly escaped death, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings, so you should swear to follow Wang Shuai to the death."

Wang Hun was very happy, turned around and walked towards a rich man's house arranged by Meng Bao, while Zhang Dun showed a mysterious smile.

This night was still peaceful, and the gates on all sides of Pingyuan City were tightly closed.
