Chapter 62: Impressed

Zhang Shun and others stood on the top of the Wangfu Mountain in Nanyang City, staring dumbfounded at the changes in the distance.

First the "officer and soldier" reinforcements arrived, then the "officer and soldier" reinforcements turned into rebel reinforcements, and the siege officers and soldiers suddenly collapsed.

Immediately, the rebel reinforcements surrounded the officers and soldiers' camp. The officers and soldiers' cavalry suddenly appeared, and the rebel reinforcements were killed and defeated.

For a time, Zhang Shun's mood was ups and downs, happy and sad, ups and downs, and finally became calm.

Zhang Shun calmly ordered: "Where is Xiao Qinhu? Speed ​​up my two thousand cavalry, repel the officers and cavalry, and rescue the rebel reinforcements!"

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't know who the rebels were in front of him. In line with the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, Tai Cai ordered the initiative to rescue them.

However, Zhang Shun still kept a hand and asked brothers Ren Guangrong and Ren Jirong to be ready to prevent internal and external enemies from taking advantage of the chaos.

Although Xiao Qinhu was born as an Orion, his physical coordination was very good and he quickly mastered the riding skills. Now he is also a rare warrior under Zhang Shun.

After receiving Zhang Shun's order, he quickly led his cavalry out of the Bowang Gate of the North Gate of Nanyang and attacked directly behind the officers and soldiers.

You Shiwei was born into a general and is a veteran, so why should you be afraid of him?

She immediately sent out deputy commander Zhang Waijia with 2,500 horses to stop Xiao Qinhu.

However, as a result, the troops attacking Zhang Xianzhong's troops were weakened.

Niu Jinxing and Zhang Yichuan also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, had few soldiers and could not resist, so he had to abandon the camp and flee.

You Shiwei personally led the cavalry to break off the rear and monitor the armies. The rebel army, which was originally in neat formation, after this chaotic battle, the soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not know the soldiers, and they did not know how many flaws they had.

Niu Jinxing was afraid that You Shiwei would find a flaw, so he rode in and turned defeat into victory. Seeing that the siege of Nanyang had been solved, he couldn't help but raise his gold and withdraw his troops, asking the soldiers to retreat and reorganize their formation.

However, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, could not do anything. Under the protection of You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia's closed-door cavalry, he slowly retreated and was defeated in Zhenping County.

Seeing that the enemy was gone, Xiao Qinhu quickly sent his soldiers to communicate with the rebels in front of him.

The "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong was an old acquaintance, so to speak. The "Sweeping King" Zhang Yichuan and the military advisors Niu Jinxing and Xiao Qinhu were only famous but had never met.

So, he hid his secrets. After meeting these three people respectively, Xiao Qinhu made his own decision and said: "Nanyang city is small and there is no room for so many soldiers and horses to be stationed. Please station your soldiers outside the city first and then follow them."

It’s not too late for me to pay my respects to King Shun!”

"That's fine!" Niu Jinxing smiled slightly when he heard this, and then persuaded, "I think this officer and soldier barracks is quite organized. It would be easier to use this place as a foundation and expand it!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Yichuan were a little dissatisfied, but they also knew that "a guest should not deceive the host", so they reluctantly agreed. After they arranged for the general to take charge, they followed Xiao Qinhu into Nanyang City.

Zhang Shun had already seen clearly from Wangfu Mountain that people were entering the city, so he went down from Wangfu Mountain, left the Tang Palace, and hurried all the way to the gate of Bowang to greet everyone.

Zhang Shun and others had just arrived at Bowang Gate when they saw Xiao Qinhu walking in with two big men and a scholar, followed by dozens of guards.

Before Zhang Shun could open his mouth, he heard the "Eight Great Kings" shouting: "I haven't seen you for a long time, King Shun. I didn't expect that I saved your life today. I wonder how you can thank me?"

Zhang Shun looked up and saw the slender Zhang Xianzhong, who stood out like a chicken, with a slightly messy long beard.

Zhang Shun nodded to Zhang Kewang who was behind him, and then said with a smile: "How are the 'Eight Kings' farewell? We haven't seen each other for several months, and I heard that you even burned the Zhu family's imperial mausoleum?"

"What's that?" Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but feel proud after hearing this.

He waved his hands in an exaggerated way and boasted: "Since leaving Fengyang, I and the 'Sweeping King' have worked together to traverse Luzhou, Shucheng, Chaoxian, Lujiang, Wuwei and other prefectures and counties. Later, we invaded Anqing Prefecture.

The three counties of Zhenqianshan, Taihu and Susong."

"The officers and soldiers are invincible, I feel so good!"

"Haha, we have been separated for three days, so we should treat each other with admiration!" Zhang Shun asked and couldn't help but praise, "Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang will also have this day!"

To be honest, Zhang Shun was a little surprised when he heard this. In just a few months, it was obvious that Zhang Xianzhong had made considerable progress in both ability and strength.

"Hey, it's not as majestic as King Shun. He defeated the three vassals, captured all the kings, and the officers and soldiers were invincible!" Zhang Xianzhong was somewhat self-aware.

Hearing this, he spoke a little modestly, and then he took a strong man beside him and said, "Come on, let me introduce you two. This is King Shun, the leader of the 36th Battalion of the Rebel Army!"

"This is Zhang Yichuan, the 'Sweeping King' of one of the thirty-six battalions in the past."

"King Shun, don't underestimate this brother. He is also a great person. After crossing the river in Mianchi in the past, we all went to western Henan and Luonan to escape, but this brother ran to Ying, where Henan, Huguang, and Nanzhi meet.

In Huoshan District, we had tens of thousands of troops, and we were quite powerful. At one time, we were superior to me, 'Chuang Jiang', and 'Living Cao Cao'!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look at the "sweeper king" Zhang Yichuan in surprise, and said with a smile: "Judging a person by his appearance will make you lose a good man. Just because I don't know you, I almost missed a good man!"

"I have ordered my servants to prepare some wine, and we brothers will have a good drink later!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Yichuan were pursued in a hurry by Luo Ju, the commander-in-chief of Sui Chen, Ma Xu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch. They did not have two days of rest along the way.

Now that these two people heard the word "drink", their saliva almost stopped flowing.

Xiao Qinhu had already flown to Java due to his displeasure at shutting out their army.

Zhang incidentally welcomed them into the Tang Palace, laid out a banquet, called Wang Jinyi, Xiao Qinhu, and Niu Jinxing to accompany them, and started eating and drinking.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit smoky.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but shout out under the influence of wine: "King Shun, I know there are many women around you, but they don't really count?"

"But there's nothing unusual about two steamed buns with one hole in them!"

"After I captured Fengyang Mansion, I got a handsome little eunuch. I can't put it down every day. I love him so much."

"I would like to dedicate it to King Shun, and I also ask you to let Niu Junjun follow me. I will definitely eat the same food and sleep in the same bed, and I dare not slack off at all!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel a black line on his forehead when he heard this. If you exchange a young eunuch for me a military officer, do you think I'm a fool?

What's more, what do you mean by this? Why do I feel weird hearing this from me!

Before Zhang Shun could respond, Niu Jinxing couldn't help but said angrily: "'Eight Kings,' please keep your mouth clean!"

"I am a dignified Baofeng Juren and a decent man. How can you say such things to me?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Xianzhong said unhappy, "I praise you, so don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

Niu Jinxing's face turned dark and he wanted to teach Zhang Xianzhong a lesson with the strength of his wine.

Zhang Shun took a look and asked, "Why are you, a scholar, fighting with bandits?"

He quickly asked Xiao Qinhu to hold Niu Jinxing while Wang Jinyi went to persuade him to drink.

After all, "capture the kings while drunk" finally found the characters, fought with them for five or six times, and then brought down Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Yichuan.
