Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 165 The Rebellion at the Post Station
At this time, Zhao Dezhao's personal guards had already climbed onto the official boat, and they couldn't use it on the small boat. Once they got on the official boat, these people immediately started killing.

Zhang Xianze's subordinates are all local armed forces, not much stronger than the militia.

Zhao Dezhao's subordinates were all seasoned and elite soldiers, and they killed the rebels in no time.

Jiang An himself killed five or six people.

When Zhao Dezhao saw him on the front boat, he also ordered to come back for support.

Not long after, all of Zhang Xianze's men were killed, even he was stabbed and almost died.

It's a pity that the dozen or so people in the middle boat were all shot to death except Yu Bai.

Zhao Dezhao ordered people to rescue Yu Bai aboard the official ship, and Yu Qiushi's body was naturally brought up as well.

Looking at his son's body, Yu Bai burst into tears, but still prostrated himself on the ground to plead guilty.

"The old minister didn't expect that this Xianze was actually a traitor, and he almost killed the county king. The old minister deserves death."

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly helped him up, "The old man is not only innocent, but also meritorious! Fortunately, you have asked people to prepare three boats. If everyone takes this official boat, I am afraid that I have already fed the fish in the lake by now."

Zhao Dezhao turned to Zhang Xianze, his face turned cold, "Who told you to attack and kill this king? If you really do it, I will spare you nine clans!"

Zhang Xianze was shocked. Originally, he wanted to make great achievements and win glory for his family, but he never expected that he would lead to the catastrophe of exterminating his family.

Suddenly, I remembered Madam Li's instigation, "It's this bitch who killed me! If I had given Li Jian'an's letter to the county king and Zhizhou Yu at that time, it would have been a great achievement!"

"You recruit carefully!"

"Thousands of years for the king of the county! It's that thief Li Jian'an who sent me a superstitious letter, telling me to kill the king halfway, saying that the king of Jin promised me a high-ranking official and a generous salary. .”

"Where is the letter!"

"It's just a message! He sent my nephew, personally deliver the message!"

"Since there is no letter proof, your empty words are completely useless." Yu Bai was greatly disappointed.

"Your Majesty the King of the County! This person is unforgivably guilty! Please kill him!"

Zhao Dezhao nodded.

"Wait a minute..." Zhang Xianze shouted, "The guilty minister knows that his crime is unforgivable! But the one who pushed me is my wife Li, and she deserves to be punished!"

Zhao Dezhao nodded expressionlessly, pulled out the waist knife and handed it to Yu Bai.

Yu Bai personally slaughtered Zhang Xianze to avenge his son Yu Qiushi.

All the ships were damaged and had to go back to shore to change ships.

Zhao Dezhao personally brought people to Zhang Xianze's home.

Mrs. Li thought that Zhang Xianze had returned home after success, so Xi Zizi came out to greet him.

Zhao Dezhao chopped off the head with a knife, and ordered someone to hand it over to Yu Bai, and together with Zhang Xianze's head, he would sacrifice to Yu Qiushi.

After changing boats, the group crossed the lake again.

It took less than two days to arrive at Henan Road.

Tokyo is already far away.

Yu Bai said to Zhao Dezhao, "Your Highness! The capital is approaching, and the King of Jin will use all means to prevent you from entering the capital. The old minister thinks that it is better to take a detour to avoid dangers ahead!"

"It's too late! The Battle of Yuezhou was delayed for half a day, which has already exceeded my expectations. If we have to make another detour, I'm afraid there will be changes in the palace."

Zhao Dezhao knew that Yu Bai had good intentions, but at this moment, he could only go forward bravely and not do what he thought.

Speaking of Yuezhou, Yu Bai was both pained and ashamed. It was because he didn't know how to employ people, not to mention wasted His Highness's time, and even cost his son's life in it.

Since he couldn't persuade His Highness, he had no choice but to come to Jiang An.

"His Royal Highness insists on not taking a detour, but the capital is just ahead, and King Jin's influence is everywhere. From now on, it can be said that every step will be thorny!"

Jiang An nodded and said, "What the Zhizhou said is very true, and the humble position also has a feeling. From here on, we are all in one place, and there is no need to send sentry horses to go out. That is tantamount to reminding the other party."

The two of them have one document and one weapon, one inside and one outside, and they are fully prepared at any time.

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Dezhao and his party rushed to the Songyanpu post station in Henan Province, where they rested and changed horses.

The postman's reception was extremely considerate, Zhao Dezhao did not reveal his identity, but only said that Yuezhou sent people to the capital for business.

The post station still served very well, and everyone was very satisfied.

"Your Highness, the inn kitchen has made fresh meals, so it's better to hurry after eating."

Seeing what Jiang An said, Zhao Dezhao nodded. Everyone has worked so hard these days, so it's rare that everyone is happy today.

As a county king, he is also willing to have fun with the people.

For the sake of safety, everyone eats dinner separately.

Jiang An was very satisfied with the food, and personally brought a food box to deliver the food to Zhao Dezhao.

"Your Highness! Among other things, this dish of sweet and sour live fish is delicious, and the fish soup is very fresh. Please try it."

Zhao Dezhao tasted it, and it tasted really good.

However, after eating a full stomach, the more Zhao Dezhao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Immediately recruit Jiang An, Yu Bai and others.

"You keep saying that the service station is very considerate, and those melons, fruits and vegetables are all fresh?"

Jiang An nodded repeatedly.

Seeing Zhao Dezhao's question, Yu Bai couldn't help thinking.

"The lake fish is indeed delicious, but have you ever thought that there is no lotus pond near the Songyan shop!"

Having said that, Jiang An also realized something was wrong, "That's right! This place is remote, and there are no lakes and ponds around, so these fresh lake fish..."

Yu Bai blurted out, "They have prepared this for a long time! They knew that we must pass by here, so they prepared a lot of ingredients in advance, in order to serve us comfortably, so that they can relax their vigilance at night... ..."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time, knowing everything in their hearts.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was soundly asleep, suddenly the post was on fire all around at the same time.

When the flames filled the air, the people in the station were startled, and then someone shouted, "The bandits are coming! The bandits have killed people and robbed money!"

With the shouts, there was a turmoil of people, and hundreds of bandits rushed into the post station.

However, searching around, they did not find the group of people who claimed to be in Yuezhou for business that stayed in the evening.

The bandits were surprised and panicked.

Suddenly there was another shout, and a group of people attacked from outside.

It was Zhao Dezhao and others who had been prepared for a long time.

The 50 people on Dongting Lake lost more than a dozen people, but Yu Bai sent his personal followers to make up for it.

There are still nearly 50 people.

Zhao Dezhao personally rushed to the forefront, led Jiang An, Yu Bai and others, and killed the gang pretending to be bandits.

These people are exactly the confidantes led by Zhu Wencheng, the military commander of Henan Province.

The combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Yuezhou Regiment's military training.

Once they meet Jiang An's elite soldiers, they will not be opponents in one fight.

In a moment, one hundred and ten people were killed, some were injured, some fled.

Zhu Wencheng was indeed a Yin official, he had no command ability at all, and was too slow to see the opportunity, so he didn't escape himself, and was captured alive by Jiang Ansheng.

"His Royal Highness, spare your life! I am willing to recruit! It was Li Jian'an who passed on King Jin's order, asking me to intercept and kill you!"
