Chapter 446: Coercion

Bixiu Peak is halfway up the mountain near Zhaohu Lake, the forest battlefield where countless people's blood was once shed, once again ushered in a new guest, Tan Feng stood in the forest with a half-smile, stroking the tree pole with his fingers Those deep small holes pierced by feather arrows, countless small purple-black stones at the feet, picked up one at random, and gently twisted, the purple-black layer on the outside was exposed, revealing its original appearance .

With a bang, he threw away a few small stones in his hand from a distance, Tan Feng turned his head and looked at Zhang Junbao whose face was turning red and turning pale, "The terrain here is very good, it's really a good place to ambush and rob, murder people and silence them."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Junbao, but also Zhang Zhuo, Wu Yi, Peng Bin, etc. who followed Zhang Junbao all changed their colors. A lower-level official, but then fell silent. Obviously, he had already learned the news of Zhang Shubao's death, so he had to stop.

Next, Tan Feng's actions confirmed Wu Yi's previous judgment. He took the initiative to meet with Zhang Junbao, and began to discuss with Zhang Junbao about a series of follow-up aftermath of the imminent failure of the Eastern Expedition. tone. After hanging above his head for a few days, the sharpened sharp blade finally returned to its scabbard.

But just after they relaxed their minds and even drank and celebrated, Tan Feng suddenly brought them to this place, especially Zhang Zhuo, whose eyes were flickering. Zhang Junbao and the others had no intuitive feeling, but he personally directed The confidants slaughtered more than a thousand soldiers from Liaoxi County here.

A gust of wind came suddenly, the leaves rustled, Zhang Zhuo shrank his heart, his face suddenly turned pale, Tan Feng glanced at him, "General Zhang, what's the matter? His face is so ugly?"

"Minister, I felt a little cold last night. Commander Lao Tan is concerned, and I will be fine." Zhang Zhuo swallowed. replied.

"I feel the wind and cold! Hehe!" Tan Feng smiled inexplicably. Looking up at the dense purple-black bloodstains in the woods, "There was a war here. Many people died, but where did the bodies of these people go? Judging by the color of these bloodstains, it should not have passed It's been a long time. The corpse can't be completely decomposed, even if it is decomposed, there should be a lot of bones, it looks like someone came to sweep the battlefield!"

Tan Feng swaggered forward with his hands behind his back, while Zhang Junbao quietly took two steps behind and asked Zhang Zhuo in a low voice. "Here?"

Zhang Zhuo nodded.

"Where are the bones?"

"I don't know, I didn't clean up at the time."

Zhang Junbao squinted his eyes, and glanced at Zhang Zhuo fiercely, Zhang Zhuo also felt a lot of grievances in his heart. At that time, after he did such a thing, he was also in a state of panic, after all, he did not kill ordinary people,

It was the son of the old master, and Lu Hong and Huang Desheng were his brothers for many years. It was impossible for him to say that he was not ashamed. Seeing that Bixiu Peak is seldom seen, and the body is left here, there is no danger of it. He once thought that Tan Feng had only been in Liaoxi City for a few days before he explored this place.

After walking forward for a certain distance, he saw the security circle formed by countless Yanling Guards. Tan Feng turned his head, looked at Zhang Junbao, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, follow me, and I will show you a good place. .”

Zhang Junbao was slightly stunned, walked a few steps to keep up, and said with a smile: "Commander Tan, although this Bixiu Peak is beautiful, the scenery is nothing special. I wonder where the Commander will take me to see the scenery?"

Tan Feng laughed loudly, "The scenery here is completely different from other places, it is absolutely unique, Governor Zhang, please!"

Zhang Junbao had no choice but to follow Tan Feng forward, Zhang Zhuo and others were about to follow up, but the alert soldiers of Yan Lingwei stopped them politely, they could only watch helplessly as Tan Feng led Zhang Junbao to the distance, Gradually hidden in the dense forest.

Everyone became even more flustered.

Zhang Junbao was also worried, but if Tan Feng wanted to deal with him, there was no need to drag himself to this inaccessible place with such a big fanfare, it was more because his spies found something, so he chose this place to warn him. . Although Zhang Zhuo didn't clean up his hands, but at that time, he and Zhang Zhuo's confidantes were the ones who shot, and the other party's people were all dead, and there is no evidence of death, so it should be no problem. As long as I don't admit it, the other party will rely on me, and I can only let it go. Thinking of this, I feel at ease.

Tan Feng was in a leisurely mood, and the two of them walked out of a dense forest, and their eyes suddenly became clear. At the foot of the mountain, Zhaohu Lake reflected the bright sun, with ripples and ripples chasing after each other. Arriving all the way to the shore in the distance, stroking the shore of the lake gently, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but feel refreshed, and he felt refreshed.

"Commander Tan has a good eye, so he found this good place!" Zhang Junbao flattered Tan Feng casually.

Tan Feng laughed, "This is indeed a good place, but I didn't discover it. Governor Zhang, come and see!"

Looking in the direction of Tan Feng's finger, Zhang Junbao's expression froze, and the dozens of Yan Lingwei over there dispersed, and behind them, several tombs suddenly appeared.

Those tombs looked like they were built not long ago, and there was not even a single grass growing on the tombs. Thinking of what Tan Feng said in the forest earlier, Zhang Junbao's heart tightened, and he forced himself to laugh: "Commander Tan said this There was a great battle in the forest, and there must have been many casualties, but I never thought that the commander would dig a tomb and bury these bones so that they would not be left in the wilderness and suffer from wild beasts gnawing at their corpses.

Tan Feng chuckled, and slowly approached those tombs, waved his hands, and said to Yan Lingwei who was guarding there: "All of you step back, keep vigilant around, and don't allow idlers to approach."

"Yes!" More than a dozen Yan Lingwei bowed and retreated. Tan Feng turned around, "I also came here today, but I didn't have the time to do such a good thing. I didn't bury these dead bodies. Governor Zhang, come over and have a look. There is a wooden sign on it, which can be written Who is the person who buried the corpse? Well, Huang Zhan, I think you must know De Luo!"

Zhang Junbao's head buzzed, and he almost passed out. Huang Zhan, why is he still alive? Zhang Zhuo, that bastard, sure enough, something went wrong.

Step forward quickly. Seeing the big characters written in blood on the wooden signboard, I couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while.

"The tomb of Zhang Yu's uncle Bao, my subordinate Huang Zhan stands here!"

"The tomb of Huang Yu's victory. My son Huang Zhan stands here!"

"The tomb of Lu Yihong. My nephew Huang Zhan stands here!"

Looking at the swaying Zhang Junbao, Tan Feng sneered. He reached out and grabbed Zhang Junbao's arm, and dragged him to the back of the three tombs, where there was a bigger tomb.

"The tomb of soldiers from Liaoxi County. There are a total of 1,238 people. Huang Zhan stands here!"

If it is said that Zhang Junbao can hold on, then behind this huge tomb, a thick tree with its bark peeled off, and the lines of bright red characters on it make Zhang Junbao almost faint.

That was obviously Huang Zhan's declaration of revenge against him, which directly stated the people who died here. They were all instigated by Zhang Junbao and died by Zhang Zhuo himself.

"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't take revenge. Swear not to be a human being." The last eight big characters are dripping with blood, and the golden hook and silver stroke seem to go deep into the trees. It can be seen that when writing these eight characters, the anger in Huang Zhan's heart .

"This, this is a false accusation!" Zhang Junbao said weakly.

Tan Feng glanced at him sarcastically, "Whether it is a frame-up or not, you can tell at a glance if you find Huang Zhan. Judging from the scale of this tomb, it is obvious that Huang Zhan can't finish it alone. There must be many people following him, and with Zhang Shubao The three people who died here may be more than 1,238. Governor Zhang, tell me, will it be difficult for me to find someone?"

Zhang Junbao looked at Tan Feng, his heart finally lost, his legs became weak, and he knelt down in front of Tan Feng with a beeping sound, "Commander Tan, save me!"

Tan Feng flicked his robe sleeves, turned around and looked at Zhaohu at the foot of the mountain, "Mr. Zhang, you should understand that I don't care who dies or who lives, and I don't care whether Huang Zhan is framing or telling the truth. I only care about Dayan. What's going on here If you are exposed, you will not only fail as a sheriff, but you will be ruined overnight, so it is not difficult to save you, so what can you do to repay me?"

Zhang Junbao's liver and gallbladder were torn apart at this time, and only then did he understand why Tan Feng brought all the civil and military officials from Liaoxi City here. Although his confidants all occupy high positions here, most of them belong to his father. Old minister, if you let them know the truth, you will surely die without a place to bury yourself.

"Commander Tan, I can help you stabilize the situation in western Liaoning, and help you defend western Liaoning and prevent the Donghu people from crossing the frontier. Moreover, from now on, I will follow your orders from Commander Tan, and go through fire and water."

"The Donghu people call, can you defend? Just rely on Zhang Zhuo?" Tan Feng laughed, "Aren't you joking?"

Zhang Junbao's heart broke, "Commander Tan, you can do whatever you say, I just want to keep my Zhang family's position in Liaoxi, and let me take the post of Liaoxi county guard."

Tan Feng turned around and said, "Well, you, Zhang Junbao, will remain as the governor of Liaoxi, and your Zhang family's position in Liaoxi will remain unchanged, but from now on, Liaoxi will be garrisoned by the court's standing army. Your county guard can only have a thousand Personally guard your own safety. This is not to deprive your Zhang family of military power, but after this battle, the Zhang family is no longer capable of defending the frontier. I have to think about Dayan, what do you think?"

Zhang Junbao's heart felt cold. In this way, the Zhang family would be deprived of military power, and a county guard without military power would completely control his life and death in the hands of others.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about it anymore, so let's talk about it after passing the level in front of him.

"I promise!"

Tan Feng laughed, the guy in front of him was still an idiot after all.

"Come on!" He clapped his hands. A general of Yan Lingwei strode forward, "What is the commander's order?"

"Bring your people, cut down this tree, burn it, and don't leave me with a single trace. These tombstones are also treated in the same way. Well, this tomb looks too new. It's old. This barren mountain It's normal for a few unowned graves to appear among the wild mountains!"

"This subordinate understands." The general glanced at Zhang Junbao who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded.

Hearing Tan Feng's order, Zhang Junbao also heaved a long sigh of relief. After passing this hurdle, we will talk about the future. Tan Feng can't stay in Liaoxi for a long time. After he leaves, he will make plans slowly.

Calmly bringing Liaoxi under the rule of the imperial court, Tan Feng was very proud of himself. When he was happy, he actually helped Zhang Junbao with his own hands and went out with him. It's inexplicable, the commander was not yin or yang before, and there was something in his words, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a different person.

It seems that Zhang Junshou has made some kind of agreement with him. Zhang Zhuo, Wu Yi, and Peng Bin all let out a long sigh of relief knowing the inside story.

"Commander Tan!" In the distance, a Yanling guard rushed over.

Seeing this Yan Lingwei, Tan Feng's face changed slightly, "What's the matter?"

This Yan Lingwei came to Tan Feng's ear and whispered something, Tan Feng's expression changed, but he was mostly happy, so he just took a big step. "Go back to Liaoxi City, go back to Liaoxi City immediately!"
