As the sun sets over the western mountains, the earth becomes drowsy, and the long wind blowing from the direction of the river brings a slight chill.
On the rugged mountain road, a team of several hundred people was slowly advancing. On a mountain wall on both sides of the mountain road, two people were looking down, and one was tied to the ground.
The tied man had his eyes closed, and his chest was rising slightly, proving that he was still alive, but there was nothing wrong with his face. But among the two people standing, one had an earth-colored face and was constantly looking at chaff.
"Brother Xu, those are five hundred young men, not old and weak. Do you really want to stop them by yourself?"
The other person looked at the team on the mountain road very intently and replied without thinking: "How about you come with me?"
"..." The expression of the man who spoke before became even worse. In front of five hundred elite soldiers, is there any difference between two and one? Yes, yes. Only Brother Xu can still find a bloody way to escape, plus he
If so, then no one can escape.
Brother Xu suddenly shook his head and whispered: "It's a little strange..."
"Is it a scam?"
"It's not a scam, it's just a little strange.
When I was spying on the military camp, someone saw my figure, and just now there was a light cavalry chasing me from behind, probably coming to report a message..."
"Is there already a defense down there?"
"It's hard to say whether they are prepared or not, but didn't you notice? Their marching speed has slowed down."
"It's getting dark soon. Are they probably going to set up camp?"
"No." Brother Xu shook his head, "If you want to camp, you should go faster. We will be out of this mountain road in less than ten miles. Wouldn't it be safer to camp in the wilderness? Even if these five hundred people are on top
There is no yellow scarf, but it is obviously a white wave. There are many locals among the white waves, how could they not know the way?"
"Then..." The timid man thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, so he simply changed the subject and said: "Brother Xu, you should tell us now why we came to Yuncheng and guarded Baibo Camp.
So, you caught a spy, and then came to track these people? I have done so many things with you, and I can’t figure out a single thing... You’re good, tell me quickly, let me
Zhao Xiaoliu will understand even if he dies."
"Xiao Liu, it's not that I didn't tell you, in fact, before I came, I didn't know what I was going to do.
Brother Xu finally turned around and said sincerely: "That day, Feng Lingjun wanted to surrender the thieves. I can understand his difficulties. However, even if he wanted to surrender, he had to wait until the court issued a decree to pardon and ban the bandits, right?
What does it mean now? I sent an envoy out, but when Guo Taiyi frightened me, I opened the city gate! Our Xu family has been clean for generations, how can we ruin our reputation by slandering this generation?"
"I know this. If I didn't admire your ambition, Brother Xu, I wouldn't be able to let go of the green flowers in Chunfeng Tower."
"Then I planned to find out the real identity of the Bai Bo thieves and figure out the secret method of siege, and ended up catching this guy..."
Xu Huang pointed to the man tied on the ground and said doubtfully: "This man said that he was Bai Bo sent by Prince Situ to lobby, and there were two other people with him. The one who drove Bai Bo to attack Yuncheng was the young man among them, Xiao Liu, don't you
Do you think this is a bit strange?"
Xiaoliu echoed with sadness: "Well, it's quite strange. There are so many young heroes these days. There is Wang Pengju in Taishan who is unparalleled in bravery. We in Hedong have another eloquent person who can talk about things with just his words."
The extremely vicious Baibo thief has been tidied up and kept in submission."
"No." Xu Huang said seriously: "It's not that simple. Don't forget where we caught this person."
"In Wushan...uh, Brother Xu, you mean..."
"At the beginning of Baibo's siege of Yuncheng, Xiliang soldiers and horses were ready to move. The army had already crossed the river. This man went south from Yuncheng to Wushan, obviously going to Shaanxi County! A certain person who had always heard that the prince had a reputation for loyalty, how could his messenger
Is it related to the Xiliang Army? What’s more, there is a rumor among the Baibo Army that there is a little Celestial Master, and it is the little Celestial Master who has cast various spells..."
Xu Huang's brows knitted together: "Speaking of it this way, the little heavenly master is clearly the envoy of the prince, but how could the prince's envoy collude with the Baibo bandits? Does he also know magic? Today he suddenly left the camp and returned east.
I also have five hundred Baibo elites with me... This matter is full of weirdness."
"The Baibo thieves are quite weird to begin with. They were living a good life, but they decided to rebel..."
While talking, Zhao Xiaoliu peeked at Xu Huang. He felt that Xu Huang was quite weird. Instead of being a good county captain, he gave up his official position and came to do this dangerous thing. Is loyalty true, but is it worth it?
In the new year, all loyal people end well. Didn’t Wang Pengju also get squeezed out and go back to his hometown in Taishan empty-handed?
But it's the same for me. I don't want to do a good job in the government anymore. I've been running around with Brother Xu these days. Alas, through the ages, this word of loyalty has killed so many fools.
"They are weird, just let them be, Brother Xu, we still..."
"How can you let them go?"
Xu Huang held the handle of the ax with his backhand and said decisively: "The prince is in a high position, the Xiliang army has caused great harm to the country and the people, and the Baibo thieves have harmed one side. If there is really a shocking conspiracy here, it will definitely shake the country. It's okay if someone is unkind, but
Since the truth is before our eyes, how can I not investigate and get to the bottom of it?"
He took off the big ax from his back and warned: "Xiao Liu, don't show up. I'll go find out more about it first. If that young man is willing to come out and answer, I will confront him. When the time comes, look at the gesture of
, depending on the situation, push this guy out to confront him; if things are not harmonious, I will rush in and take his life! You don't need to worry about me, just kill this guy and retreat on your own."
"…···" Xiaoliu wanted to persuade him again, but he was frightened by the murderous aura on Xu Huang's body, and how could he say anything? He just nodded and watched Xu Huang roar from the mountain wall.
Down!
"This is Xu Gongming from Hedong! People at the foot of the mountain, please stay!"
This roar was so powerful that it echoed endlessly in the mountains, causing the ears of everyone present to buzz. When they saw the mighty and domineering figure jumping down from the mountain wall again, the Baibo army was shocked and confused.
Became a ball.
"There's an ambush!"
"Protect the lord!"
"who?"
Although they are elites, the elite standard of the Yellow Turban Army is mainly based on physical fitness and courage. It has little to do with military discipline and appearance. As long as they dare to charge and fight, and can fight, they are good soldiers.
The five hundred white waves that were shocked by Xu Huang became a mess. If an ambush attack was launched, only a hundred or ten elite troops could annihilate this white wave. The only thing that satisfied Wang Yu was that these people were still obedient.
, he changed his words quickly and did not call out the name of the little heavenly master.
In fact, these thoughts flashed through his mind subconsciously, and he had no time to pay attention or think about them.
At this moment, his heart was filled with joy: It was really him, finally here!
Xu Huang, Xu Gongming!
Another heavyweight among the five good generals!
Cao Cao once compared and praised the famous general Zhou Yafu of the Western Han Dynasty!
When he heard about the news, Wang Yu had suspected that it was Xu Huang who was in the city. He couldn't confirm it at the time, and even if it was confirmed, there was no way to win over him. He originally thought that after returning to Luoyang, he would use his uncle Hu Muban's relationship to come to Luoyang.
They pretended to be public servants for personal gain, so they transferred the other party to Luoyang and took the opportunity to win over his subordinates. Unexpectedly, the other party actually showed up at his door.
What kind of surprise is this? It is clearly happiness falling from the sky!
When luck comes, it is really unstoppable.
Wang Yu was overjoyed. He spread his hands, pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and quickly rushed forward, shouting: "Xu Huang, Xu Gongming?"
"Do you know someone?" Seeing the chaos in the Yellow Turban team, Xu Huang intended to take advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack and capture the person before talking. Unexpectedly, Wang Yu came up to him alone and even called out his name! What surprised him even more was that,
Facing his fierce self, Wang Yu showed no fear on his face.
Wang Yu laughed loudly and said: "Guarding for the news, protecting the people, and the general turning the tide from collapse. Sooner or later, these deeds will be spread throughout the world. How could someone not know this?"
Xu Huang did not doubt that he was there. It would be difficult for his deeds to be spread throughout the world, but people in Baibo's army wanted to know, but it was easy. He pointed his ax at Wang Yu and shouted: "Then who are you? Baibo, the little heavenly master.
? An envoy from the imperial court? Or a spy from the Xiliang Army? Or both?"
Wang Yu said loudly: "If you don't change your name when you are walking, and if you don't change your surname when you sit down, you are Wang Pengju of Mount Tai! I have admired the name of General Xu for a long time, and today I can meet him, which is a lifetime wish!"
"What?" Xu Huang never dreamed that he would get such an answer. With his Qi-nurturing skills, he was stunned.
He was not the only one who was frightened. The Baibo soldiers also made an uproar. How could they have thought that the true identity of the little heavenly master who could control the wind and rain was so incredible? But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the only way to make the most sense. That Wang Pengju was originally incompetent.
It's impossible, and it's not surprising that there are multiple ways to stir up troubles and spread the beans into soldiers.
Thinking of Wang Yu's attitude in the Baibo Army, everyone was relieved. Their lord's methods were as good as the sky, and more importantly, he had no discrimination against the Yellow Turbans. This is the real hero!
Your mind is as big as a mountain and your courage is as strong as the sea!
Xiaoliu on the mountain almost fell down. This really means Wang Yu, Wang Yu has arrived! I just mentioned the legendary character, but in the blink of an eye I saw a real one! It can't be an impostor, right? But Wang Pengju is pretending to be someone
What's the benefit? Prime Minister Dong hated Wang Pengju so much!
The man tied to the ground also began to struggle, but his mouth was tightly gagged, and he could only make a "whimpering" sound. Xiao Liu's soul was flying in the sky, how could he hear it? He couldn't hear it even if he heard it.
Be reasonable.
Brother Xu's plan is completely outdated. Xiaoliu is very curious, how will the situation evolve next? With Brother Xu's seriousness, I am afraid that people will not listen to people saying that wind is like rain. It is very likely that there will be a battle under the mountain soon.
Enter the dragon and the tiger!
Is the brave and invincible Brother Xu superior in skill?
Or does the legendary Wang Pengju live up to his name?
