The visitor was naturally Xu Kang, a remnant of the Yellow Turbans who had disappeared from Guangyang County in the grassland for several months, but now his army was no longer called the Yellow Turban Army. Just when they were about to enter Liaodong, Xu Kang proposed that the army

The name was changed to "Fengtian to fight against the rebels". At the same time, the slogan "Do justice for heaven, rob the rich and save the poor" was launched.

This is mainly because the Taiping Road has been completely defeated by the imperial court, and the three Zhang brothers were all killed. The Yellow Turban Army has long been unable to control itself. If it continues to use this name, once it captures Liaodong, the army will inevitably become the focus of the imperial court.

It would be better to change the name for a new start. After all, for most Taiping Taoists, Zhang Jiao is Taiping Dao, and Taiping Tao is Zhang Jiao. Since Zhang Jiao is dead, Taiping Tao has disappeared. Now

It's time for a new leader to emerge, and this person is undoubtedly Cheng Yuanzhi.

At this point, the motion to change the name was voted unanimously by everyone and was quickly passed.

But now Xu Kang personally went to war as an outpost, with the idea of ​​capturing Xiaorong Fort and secretly opening the Liaodong portal.

It was very easy to capture the small Rongbao with only a few dozen people, but preventing them from lighting the beacon fire was the difficulty of this operation. That's why he pretended to be a merchant and sneaked into the small Rongbao.

Things went very smoothly. When he saw the fort master who was sitting according to the case, Xu Kang came forward with a smile and said: "This is my first time passing through Xiaorong Fort. I am only here to explore the way for my family."

That's all. If anything happens in the future, I have to ask you to help me." After saying that, under the signal from his eyes, a maid came up with a tray and placed it in front of Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang opened the hood and took a peek. He saw a thin layer of gold cake, which was so dazzling that he felt a chill in his heart.

It dawned on him instantly, it seemed that the other party must be an ignorant young master sent by some big family for training, otherwise who would give so much money to bribe him, a little castle owner.

With this money, he can bribe his superiors. When an order is given, he will not only be obedient.

However, Lao Zhang naturally would not remind the other party kindly. After accepting it naturally, he said with a smile on his face: "Young Master is too polite. If you have any requests in the future, just ask. We, Xiaorongbao, will do our best to fulfill it for you."

"Thank you so much." Xu Kang said happily.

At the moment, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Xu Kang even brought various delicacies and invited other brothers in the castle to have a drink together.

Lao Zhang did not refuse and called several of his confidants to accompany him.

The wine was so drunk that the maids brought by Xu Kang performed sword dances for everyone present.

The passionate sword dance immediately caused all the men present to scream strangely.

Just when the wine, meat, and dancing were getting better, suddenly someone pushed the door open and stumbled in.

When Lao Zhang saw that it was someone from his own castle, he felt that he had lost face in front of the distinguished guests. He frowned with dissatisfaction and said angrily: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Sir, our beacon tower has been occupied." The person's words shocked everyone on the spot.

Lao Zhang pushed forward the case and said with a pale face: "Who is so bold?"

The visitor pointed at Xu Kang and said with a horrified face: "It's him, the one he brought."

Lao Zhang was startled and looked at Xu Kang blankly: "Is it him? How could it be? Why?"

But he could only ask so much. A thin sword tip was inserted into his heart. When he pulled it out, a drop of blood came out.

Xu Kang said helplessly: "So fast." Then he threw the wine glass and said harshly: "Do it."

Lao Zhang fell softly to the ground, and with his misty eyes, he realized that the maids who were gentle and graceful just now, dancing like goddesses, instantly transformed into seductive Rakshasas, waving their swords and rushing towards those who shared life and death with him.

brothers.

This was the last scene Lao Zhang saw. Maybe he should be glad that he died so early and didn't have to watch his brothers die tragically in front of him one by one.

In the blink of an eye, all the officers and soldiers in the entire room were dead, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Xu Kang was already used to this kind of situation and didn't take it seriously at all.

I saw him walking forward gently, actually picking up the wine glass he had just thrown, looking at it for a while, and curling up the corner of his mouth. He was too excited just now, just like in a TV series, so he reluctantly entered

The character actually smashed a cup to show off, but he forgot that the wine cup he was using was a copper three-legged wine cup and could not be broken at all.

It's a pity that a good wine glass was smashed.

At this time, Gong Yinglian came up and said: "The officers and soldiers in the fort have been dealt with. Now the entire Xiaorong Fort belongs to us, and no one from the officers and soldiers has escaped." Seeing Xu Kang holding the cup in a daze, ignoring himself, he couldn't help but

He asked curiously: "What happened to this cup? Well, it's a pity that it broke. By the way, why did you drop the cup just now?"

Hearing this, Xu Kang's face became even more disgusting, and he ignored her and ordered a maid: "Send out the scouting horses immediately and tell the army that they can enter the pass."

"Yes." The maid agreed and withdrew.

Xu Kang also took the opportunity to follow him out, leaving Gong Yinglian with a confused look on her face.

Although Xiaorong Fort has been conquered, there are still other bunkers guarding it, so Xu Kang and others did not dare to show off too much.

The next day, tens of thousands of embarrassed troops quietly entered the boundaries of Xiaorong Fort and set up camp.

In the newly established commander's tent, Xu Kang found Cheng Yuanzhi and presented him with a great gift.

When Cheng Yuanzhi saw him arriving, a smile finally appeared on his tense face and he said, "You have made another great contribution this time. How do you want me to reward you?"

Xu Kang said with a smile: "How can such trivial things be worthy of being rewarded by my adoptive father? Why not remember them first and reward them together next time."

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed and scolded: "You slippery man, don't you need credit for changing the method? Well, the credit this time is not big anyway, so I will remember it for you first."

Xu Kang said: "Although the credit is not big, the effect is not small. Whether we can secretly capture Xiaorong Fort will determine whether our next actions will go smoothly."

Cheng Yuanzhi also nodded, suppressed his smile, and said: "I didn't expect our army to really come out of the grassland this time. Thinking about life on the grassland, it is really like a dream. If the plan to capture Liaodong this time is

If you succeed, you will be a great help to me, Zhuojun Huangjin, and after a hundred years, these people will be led by you." His words already meant to declare his successor.

How could Xu Kang dare to agree? He immediately bowed and said: "My foster father is in his prime, why are you saying such discouraging words? We will not only capture Liaodong, but also march into the Central Plains in the future, so that the reputation of our foster father can be resounding in the court."

above."

Cheng Yuanzhi immediately laughed and said, "Okay, I'm just waiting for the good news you bring me."
