At this moment, inside and outside Juancheng were like a chaotic slaughterhouse. Due to the threat of the bandits in the Central Plains, the rule and constraints that were originally barely maintained by the King of Donghai shogunate were gone; tens of thousands of defeated soldiers released the greatest energy when they fought each other. Fortunately, when everyone was dealing with the imperial army in the Taihang Mountains, there were many scenes full of dangers. The self-protection instinct cultivated by the bandits cultivated is indeed beyond the reach of people. Once everyone finds that the situation is not good, they immediately seek to escape and will never delay it.

Even so, the group was still in danger of danger. They were trapped in the surging crowds several times along the way, and were almost trampled into meat paste; they were involved in the battlefield of chaos and armed battles several times, and were almost hit by the ten thousand blade clones. All kinds of dangers were hard to describe in words. At this time, everyone was not in trouble, which was a great luck.

When the shock was a little calm, according to everyone's thoughts, don't linger in the dangerous place. After all, the gang of cavalry of the Central Plains bandits was not far away, and no one planned to go to the mantis arm to get a chariot. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wu suddenly said that he would wait for the King of East China to leave the city for some reason... The subordinates were inevitably confused, and for a moment, no one wanted to respond.

There was a nest of bandits in Funiu Village, which was not as clear as the ordinary army. Although Zhang Wu was the person in charge of this trip, he had to discuss with everyone on his daily behavior. He was stunned for no response at this moment, and he felt that his ideas were a little abrupt. He also reacted very quickly and immediately turned around and said sincerely: "Everyone, we have worked hard for several months and finally fell into the Central Plains. Recently, relying on your fellow villagers, relatives, old friends and other relationships, we gradually made friends with various people and set up sources of intelligence. Among them, I see how smart and decisive you are and how hard you are. I thought that these achievements would be beneficial to the military palace, and this would be enough to make you receive high rewards in the future, which would be worth the effort. Who would have expected that the King of Donghai shogunate was so incompetent..."

Zhang Wu raised his hand and pointed to the noisy Juancheng behind everyone, and shouted: "Today, the last powerful stronghold of the King of Donghai shogunate in the Central Plains, and the final force of the troops also fell into a complete collapse. Have you ever thought that almost all the officials and generals who were deliberately made friends with us will die in this collapse! Those sources of information, both open and secret, will also be completely destroyed! Have you ever thought that the mission solemnly entrusted to us by General Pingbei has undoubtedly failed! Since he was entrusted, he has gone nothing. What is the difference between you and those people? How can you face General Pingbei? How can you face the leader of the village?"

As he said these few words, more and more military and civilians crowded out of the city gate. The successive failures in the Central Plains battlefield accumulated too much pressure on the whole city, and the news that the bandits approached became the last straw that crushed their psychological defense line. These people who were in collapse had no command and were in an orderly manner, like an ant colony that was smashed to their old nests, running around aimlessly, clashing and fighting with each other, and making calls like a beast before it was dying. I don’t know who it was, actually ignited a forage yard on the north side of the official road, and blazing flames rose. Even when it was the daylight, the red flames and thick black smoke columns were still leaping in Zhang Wu’s pupils.

Everyone was silent for a moment. Some people gritted their teeth and some sighed in a low voice. The nearby scattered soldiers saw a group of people riding horses, and some people became greedy and shouted to come and snatch them. Several riders ran out with cold faces, wielded their reins, drove them away with swords, and turned around again, still silent. After a while, someone said in a deep voice: "When the situation in front of you, Juancheng must not be defended, and the King of Donghai will probably escape soon. However, in the chaos of war, how can we find the King of Donghai and his party? Even if we find it, how can we protect them with our meager strength?"

"It's easy!" Zhang Wu laughed, raised his hand and pointed to a forest land near the official road not far west: "This place is the only way for King Donghai to escape, and deep in this forest is our camp where we raise cattle and horses. There are dozens of Youji Liang horses and several healthy cattle here. I also invited many of the close servants of King Donghai to come here to watch in the name of offering good horses. Everyone, after the Central Plains garrison's success, they lacked the power of animal power. When they were in a hurry, the shogunate could not prepare well... When they fled here in a panic, would they think of exploring and mobilizing cattle and horses from our horse dealers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was moved. Zhang Wu continued, "As for you, to protect them... Haha, why do we need to protect those people? We just need to serve cattle and horses and escape with them. This friendship of sharing hardships is enough to allow us to be accepted by the King of Tokai shogunate and gain more trust. And isn't this what General Pingbei wants us to do the most?"

He stared at the cavalry with bright eyes and asked, "We'll wait here for a while. If we can run into the people in the shogunate of the King of East China Sea, we'll walk with them. If the Central Plains bandits arrive first, we won't delay and run away from our own lives. What's the matter? Is it OK?"

The cavalry looked at each other. Perhaps they felt the master's mentality gradually becoming high. The originally tired war horse suddenly raised its head and neighed one after another.

*******

Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, many of the royal family members have become generals and ministers, and most of them have general leaders and military travelers. Although they often fail, their accumulated escape experience seems to be no less than the bandits in Funiu Village. Since the King of Donghai led his army out of the Central Plains, he has lost countless troops and land, but he and his relatives and nobles of the shogunate have not lost any damage. His talents in this regard are more than enough to stand out from his peers.

As soon as Zhang Wu and others had time to clean up the many livestock, there were people on the official road, and a team surrounded by hundreds of cavalrymen galloped towards them. Although the official road was congested, dozens of riders who drove the cavalry and drove the crowd with long whips and drove them away, as if the river water that broke the embankment overflowed into the depression outside the riverbed. A large number of ox carts and horse carriages in the center of the queue wedged into the gaps where the crowd was dispersed. Even if someone slipped in the mud on the official road and couldn't get up, the vehicle did not stop, but crushed without mercy and tried to speed up.

The first half of the team quickly passed the camp where Zhang Wu and others were, while the second half of the team was winding like a long snake. Many luxuriously dressed officials did not ride and could only stagger and followed on foot. Sometimes they would gather smaller teams, and soon they would be dispersed due to physical differences. Occasionally, a few pack horses were seen in the queue, and they were all trapped and pulled into a big cart, and the cart was filled with people. People who could not squeeze into the big cart could only hold the shaft tightly with both hands to leverage the force and follow along on foot.

Although there was no flag mark in the entire queue, Zhang Wu was almost instantly sure that this was the team that fled with the King of East China. Within a range of twenty or thirty feet in front of him, he recognized five or six high-ranking officials and nobles who had met him. Just yesterday, he had to kneel down and serve him carefully before he could speak a few words to them, but the current situation was completely different.

He couldn't help but sneer, his legs gently clamped his horse's belly, and led several subordinates to appear from the woods. Many people struggling on the road looked at the fully equipped small cavalry team with jealous eyes, as if cursing something in a low voice, but they were afraid of the swords in the hands of the knights and dared not approach them.

However, after all, Zhang Wu has been active in Juancheng for a long time, and there are quite a few people who are familiar with him. After a moment, someone shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang save me!"

The man was shouting in the flying dust. He was about thirty years old, his face was covered with dust and mud, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. Perhaps because he had been in a high position for a long time and was pampered, he gave birth to an extremely fat belly, which swayed with every movement of his movement, which was very cumbersome. The man shouted a few times, then fell to the ground and panted. After a while, he continued to open his throat: "Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang, it's me! It's me Cheng Hui here! Come and rescue!"

Zhang Wu looked at him from afar, raised his whip and pointed at the man, and said to the left and right: "This Cheng Hui, Cheng Shuhong, is the son of Cheng Yan, and one of the close ministers who serve the King of Donghai. Since he met this man, it is our best to do anything."

Turning his head, he slapped forward, his face changed to seven-point surprise and three-point care, and almost even tears were about to flow: "Can't it... is it really Mr. Shu Hong? Oh, ah... why did you end up in such a field!"
