Chapter 350: The death of Wugong Mountain leader Gao Ju

Views:

Although there is a lot of grain and grass in Wugong Mountain, there have been several problems before this. Gaoju also attaches great importance to the issue of grain and grass. The granary in the south of the city had accumulated nearly one-third of the grain and grass in the Wugong Mountain City. As soon as he heard that the granary was on fire, Gao Ju wanted to put on his wings and fly over to see the situation! And when Gao Ju hurriedly left the barracks in a carriage, he didn't notice that the cronies who told him that the granary was on fire did not know when, and slipped away quietly.

In an alley next to the barracks, the cronie who just slipped out of Gaoju said to the soldier next to Baishan with a full face: "Big, sir! I, I have already followed what you said. Do it! Where are my wife and son?"

The soldier gave a dark smile, just opened his mouth, but suddenly his body shook. The poor confidant who had just betrayed his master, only felt a cold in his neck, so he fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up anymore. And the soldier said in a gloomy manner: "Don't worry! Your wife and son are already one step ahead of you!" After finishing speaking, he didn't go to pick up the corpses, but just turned around and disappeared into the shadow in the alley. , He still has to rush to Baishan to report!

Let alone Gao Ju hurriedly drove to the gate of the warehouse in the south of the city in the carriage, got out of the carriage, but Gao Ju was dumbfounded. I thought that the warehouse had become a mess, but I never thought that the door of the warehouse was still the same as usual, there was no such thing as a big fire at all! The sergeants guarding at the door of the warehouse naturally recognized Gaoju, and when they saw Gaoju arrived, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Gao Ju didn't care about so many things. He stepped forward and grabbed a sergeant's jacket, and asked, "Isn't it said that there is a fire here? Where is it? The fire?"

The sergeant was confused on one end, and was frightened by Gao Ju's appearance again. He stammered: "Fire, fire? Report to the chief, there is no fire?"

"There is no fire?" Gao Ju was surprised, how could there be no fire? Gao Ju immediately left the sergeant aside, and turned around and shouted, "Little Liuzi! Where is Xiao Liu? Liu Xiaoliu!"

It's a pity that Liu Xiaoliu, whom Gao Ju spoke of, had already returned to the underworld, so how could he answer his call? He shouted several times, but no one answered, and the suspicion in his heart became stronger and stronger. At this time, there were already many people watching on the street at the entrance of the warehouse, and they all looked strangely at the chief king today.

And the expressions of these people fell in Gao Ju's eyes, just like mocking faces, a feeling of anxiety that made him shudder! Immediately, Gao Ju stepped away and ran to the carriage, and while running, he shouted, "Go! Go! Back to the mansion! No! Back to the barracks! Back to the barracks!"

Gao Ju finally made a correct judgment, but unfortunately, it was too late. Just as Gao Ju’s voice just fell, there was a scream of killing from the city gate. So scared Gao Ju couldn’t help but fought a cold war. The foot that had just stepped on the carriage pedal was also empty. Gao Ju fell directly beside the carriage.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Gao Ju, who was helped by the coachman on the carriage, was already full of panic, and looked straight towards the city gate where he shouted. Originally, there were still many people around this street, and they heard the screaming and killing. Those people were just stunned for a moment, and they immediately ran away. Except for the high gatherings and the sergeants on the whole street, There is no one anymore. However, it is precisely because of this that Gao Ju can clearly see that on the other side of the street, a large group of people are rushing over here in a murderous manner!

Don't look at Gao Ju playing a set of conspiracy and tricks, but his martial arts is absolutely terrible. Seeing those people and horses killed like this, Gao Ju's calves are frightened, how can he do it? reaction. But the coachman who helped him before was finally a sergeant, and hurriedly shouted to Gaoju: "Your lord leader! Your lord leader! Get in the car! Get in, huh!"

Before the coachman finished speaking, he heard a squeak. A sharp arrow appeared suddenly and shot directly through his throat. At the same time, dozens of arrows flew out. Fortunately, Gao Ju was shot. The fallen coachman was overwhelmed to the ground, and he didn't hurt anything! However, the high-gathering carriage was shot into a hedgehog by those arrows, and naturally all the horses pulling the carriage fell to the ground.

Gao Ju, who was pushed to the ground by the coachman, finally came to his senses, his face was full of blood from the coachman's throat and mouth, and Gao Ju couldn't help but scream in fright. The panicked Gao Ju didn't notice that the direction from which these suddenly appeared arrows came was not the same direction as the men and horses rushing to the south!

"My lord! My lord!" At last the few sergeants who guarded the granary were still loyal to Gao Ju. Seeing Gao Ju was attacked, they hurriedly raised their weapons and stepped forward to block Gao Ju. And as if they appeared so suddenly, these arrows all stopped suddenly, as if they had completed their tasks.

The carriage is gone, and the soldiers and horses that are unknown to us are getting closer and closer. If they rely on two legs, it is absolutely impossible to win. Those sergeants could not, and they could only return to the granary with Gao Ju. If the gate is blocked, how long can it be delayed? I just hope that the army in the military camp in the city can find out the movement here soon and come to help in time!

Soon, the mysterious team of soldiers and horses has arrived at the door of the granary, naturally headed by the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, and the four generals under him! Taking a look at the carriage filled with arrows at the door of the granary, the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, turned his head to look at the granary, but said with a smile: "Yunshan, your method seems to be of no use. ?"

After listening to Pang Yunshan behind the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage, his old face blushed. Originally, according to the strategy he offered to the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage, he made the Pingxiang army pretend to be a defeated army from Pingxiang and deceived to open the city gate. , And then waited for an opportunity to kill Gao Ju. But I never thought that before they could speak for fraud, the city gate just persisted for half an hour before it opened automatically, and the Pingxiang army came all the way, but didn't even see half of the enemy. It can be said that the Pingxiang army The previous actions were all in vain.

He would still be loyal and careful, even when he said to the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, "Master, this Wugong Mountain City is a little bit wrong? How could the defenders of Wugong Mountain City just let us into the city like this without blocking it? "

The leader of the Pingxiang cottage, Liu Guang, was not in a hurry at the moment, and smiled faintly: "There is no need to worry, I'm sure this must be the Bai family or the Tu family again! Now the officers and soldiers no longer threaten Wugong Mountain, and the situation is stable. . So now we all want to be the master of Wugong Mountain. Now we want to kill Gaoju, so why don't the two of them want Gaoju's life!"

This point, the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, figured it out when he first entered the city. He was sure that, relying on the power of the Bai family and the Tujia family in Wugong Mountain, no one would stop them in a short time!

"You! You! You are the leader of Liu Guang from the Pingxiang cottage!" There was an exclamation from the granary. The leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage looked up and saw that it was Gao Ju who was standing at the lookout on the granary platform. Looked at himself dumbfounded. Immediately afterwards, Gao Ju's face showed anger again, and he shouted: "The leader of the Pingxiang cottage, Liu Guang! You, you are so bold! You dare to lead troops to attack the mountain city of Wugong! You, you are trying to make me Da Chu The country’s rebellion! Are you not afraid of being executed by the Great Sage King?"

The leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage just saw Gao Ju hiding in the granary from a distance, and now he saw Gao Ju, the leader of the Pingxiang cottage Liu Guang's mouth turned slightly, and he smiled and shouted: "The leader is so bad! This time I entered the city, I came here to express my gratitude to Lord Chief! Thank you Lord Chief for your help before!” Although Chief Liu Guang of Pingxiang Shanzhai said this with a smile, no one can hear it. The leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, said this is an irony.

Immediately afterwards, the leader of the Pingxiang cottage, Liu Guang, said with a sneer, "But Liu did not have the ability and failed to get the rations from Pingxiang, which disappointed the leader! But Liu went north this time for the sake of For all the heroes of the uprising and the major events of my great Chu country, the army must not be without food, but there is only a shameless way to find the leader for some munitions! Please also the leader to promise!"

Gao Ju was trembling with anger at the words of the leader of Liu Guang from the cottage of Pingxiang. What a request, it was a threat! Looking at the thousands of people behind Liu Guang, the leader of the Pingxiang cottage, Gao Ju couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Now that the man is a knife and I am a fish, how dare he say no, he can only say: "Liu Gou thief! Chief Liu calmed his anger! Quiet his anger! I really don't know the matter of Pingxiang! This matter of food and grass is easy too! I agree to all! As long as Chief Liu retreats!"

"Huh hum!" The leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, hummed coldly, and said loudly, "His lord! You are going to delay the time! The adults don’t want to think about it. The Wugong Mountain City has thick walls and there are so many things. There are many defenders, and Liu has only more than 5,000 people. How can he enter the city so easily? The defenders in the city will never come here!"

The remarks of the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage are the heart of the middle and high gatherings. He didn't expect that the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage would really retreat. He just hoped that he could hold the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage and let him temporarily stop Will launch an offense. Wait until the 20,000 defenders in the city come to rescue. But the leader of the Pingxiang village, Liu Guang said so, Gao Ju only then remembered the strangeness of the leader of the Pingxiang village who had entered the city, and couldn't help but scream. It's Baishan! It must be Baishan! Gao Ju naturally knew about the news that the Tujia brothers left Wugong Mountain. Now, in Wugong Mountain City, the only person who would stumble themselves upon themselves is the Bai Mountain of the Bai family!

Gaoju's face was also pale this time, and his eyes were filled with despair. Of course, Gaoju knew exactly how powerful the Bai family was in the Wugong Mountain City. If there are soldiers and horses nearby, the Bai family will have to worry about themselves. Now the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, has entered the city and besieged himself in this small granary. For Baishan, it must be a wonderful opportunity to seize military power! At this moment, Gao Ju also suddenly remembered that he had had the opportunity to escape in a carriage, and the sudden arrow rain cut off Gao Ju’s last ray of life. Now think about it, it must be Baishan’s subordinates who started secretly. !

That's it! It's all over! Gaoju, who was completely in despair, looked at the restless sergeants around him with eyes blankly, and finally said with a wry smile: "You all surrender! Leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage is right, I'm not saved! You guys! If you surrender, maybe the leader Liu Guang of the cottage in Pingxiang will let you have a way out! Go!"

No one is really not afraid of death, and these sergeants of Wugong Mountain are no exception. They were already in awe when they saw the leader of Pingxiang Shanzhai Liu Guang with so many Pingxiang troops. Now that Gao Ju said so, they looked at each other, and finally decided to go down and open the door to surrender as Gao Ju said. After seeing the sergeants leave, Gao Ju laughed bitterly. In the past few months, since the beginning of Juyi repulsed the officers and soldiers, he has been fighting against the Bai family and the Tu family, and has never stopped fighting for power. What can be exchanged, it is such an ending, it is really unpredictable!

Leaving life and death aside, Gao Ju suddenly became courageous, but walked to the window again and shouted to the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage outside: "Liu Guang leader of the Pingxiang cottage! I know you want to kill me! But I want to tell. You! No one of you can take my life from Gao Ju!" After finishing speaking, Gao Ju suddenly jumped and jumped from the lookout!

Gao Ju jumped like this, the leader Liu Guang of Pingxiang Shanzhai and the others were all taken aback. Seeing Gao Ju fell to the ground so hard, and still landed head first, his head was smashed into blood and blood. Lost his life on the spot!

The leader of the Pingxiang cottage, Liu Guang, and others never thought that Gao Ju would choose to commit suicide. Since the uprising, Gao Ju has been cherishing his life and his life. Even when he went out of the city to patrol, he had to bring thousands of soldiers and horses to protect him. Such a timid person who was afraid of death would have the courage to choose to decide on his own, which was really beyond the expectation of the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage.

In fact, since the start of Gaoju, he has seen many corrupt officials and rich men killed by his own army, and he himself has killed many traitors and enemy generals. Liu Guang is a violent temper. He knows that if he is captured alive, he might not escape Liu Guang's cruel torture. Anyway, it is a death, and falling to death is better than torture.

Therefore, Gaoju didn't fear death, but was afraid of suffering before death, so he chose the method of death by jumping off the building.

Looking at Gao Ju's corpse, the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, didn't feel so comfortable. On the contrary, there was a feeling of trying his best, but in the end he was hitting the empty space.

The leader of the Pingxiang cottage, Liu Guang, let out a long sigh of relief and shook his head. The general Chao Guang next to him stepped forward and asked, "Master! What shall we do next? Should we simply take this Wugong Mountain?"

Take the martial arts mountain? The leader of the Pingxiang cottage Liu Guang shook his head with a wry smile. It is undeniable that this proposal is very attractive to the leader of the Pingxiang cottage, but the problem is that the current leader of the Pingxiang cottage does not have that strength at all! Don’t think Baishan did not attack the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage before. Instead, he helped the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage several times. But now that Gao Ju is dead, the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage has no use for Baishan. Now, maybe Baishan will shoot him again!

Immediately, the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage shouted in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers be swift and move all the grain and grass in this granary! We will leave here immediately!" Now the leader of the Pingxiang cottage Liu Guang is missing. Grain, this is a granary in front of you. It's better to take advantage of the momentum to grab these grains and grass, at least you can hold on for a while!

In addition to Kai Chao Guang, the other three generals had good minds, and immediately understood the meaning of the leader Liu Guang of the Pingxiang cottage, and one after another brought his soldiers into the granary to grab food. The poor Wugong Mountain Army sergeants who guarded the granary just opened the door, before they had time to say the word surrender, they were shot one by one by Huizhong, and they were all resolved!

Although there were a lot of grain and grass in this granary, the 5,000 Pingxiang army's hands and feet were very quick and the entire granary was emptied soon.

After grabbing the grain and grass, the leader of Pingxiang Village, Liu Guang, didn't dare to delay any longer. He didn't want to fight with the 20,000 troops of Wugong Mountain. Therefore, he directly withdrew his troops and horses from Wugong Mountain and retreated all the way north.

Not long after, Bai Shan, who had already received the news, finally rushed over. Looking at the high-gathering corpse on the ground, Bai Shan's face suddenly showed joy, and he was busy sending his soldiers and horses to block the Wugong Mountain City, and he started his plan for a long time. Great cleaning!

At the same time, in Xishanzhai City, the westernmost part of Wugong Mountain, the panic in the city is no less than that in Wugong Mountain City. The reason is naturally the mysterious army outside the city.

On the east side of the West Mountain Walled City, Ximen Feng, the leader of the West Mountain Walled City, frowned, looking at the neatly formed army outside the city, he was anxious in his heart! Early this morning, this sudden army almost broke the gate of the city in a surprise attack. Thanks to the quick response of the soldiers guarding the gate, they quickly closed the gate, finally resisting the opponent's first attack.

However, Ximen Feng was not happy because of this. The mysterious army outside the city did not retreat. Instead, it gathered outside the city and moved out a lot of ladders. It seemed that it was about to attack the West Mountain Walled City! Looking at the banners of this soldier and horse, Ximen Feng asked with a gloomy face: "Have you ever heard of such a soldier and horse in Wugong Mountain?"

It's a pity that anyone in the West Mountain Walled City knew that so many troops had suddenly appeared in Wugong Mountain, so all of those generals shook their heads blankly. Without an answer, Ximen Feng's face became more and more ugly.

And at this moment, a horse walked out of the soldier and horse outside the city, looking like a soldier, and shouted: "We are ordered by the leader of Wugong Mountain! Come to take over the Xishanzhai. Why didn’t you wait to open the city gate? Is it because you want to resist your orders?"

"Humph!" Ximenfeng heard the words of the warlord outside the city asking to open the gate of the mountain walled city in the name of Gaoju, but couldn't help but snorted coldly. Ximenfeng didn't believe what the other party said!

take over? To put it nicely, if it were not for the wariness of the soldiers guarding the city gates, these soldiers and horses of unknown origin would have rushed into the city long ago! Besides, Ximenfeng himself is a close friend of Wugongshan leader Gaoju. Some time ago Gaoju also sent Wugongshan military rations. He never mentioned the takeover of Xishanzhai. Naturally, Ximenfeng would not believe that the opponent is Gao Sent by Ju!

The soldiers and horses outside the city are naturally the Xie Xiaogui army who was sent by the Shimen Army leader Zhao Yan to capture the West Mountain Village! Xiaogui Xie boasted Haikou in front of Zhao Yan, the leader of the Shimen Army, and was determined to take the West Mountain Walled City within three days. It’s just that Xie Xiaogui did not expect that the journey from Pingxiang to Xishanzhai would take two days. In other words, if Xie Xiaogui wants to fulfill his promise, he must capture this Xishanzhai today. city!

It's a pity that the raid just did not succeed! Xie Xiaogui patted his thigh with some annoyance. He didn't expect Ximen Feng to open the city gate in a few words. A trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, and he waved the long knife in his hand, pointed at the city wall in front, and shouted: "No nonsense! Brothers! Charge me! Take down the West Mountain Walled City!"
