Almost at the same time as they were talking, the few people who were dressed like farmers but did not look like farmers suddenly moved.
Someone suddenly stepped forward and restrained Zhu Qian's right hand.
One person goes to the left and clasps his arm backwards.
The last person pressed his knee against Zhu Qian's stomach. The pain made the thief look ferocious, and he couldn't even hold the weapon in his hand.
Seeing this situation, many thieves rushed forward to help.
However.
But three people held Zhu Qian hostage, put his knife on his neck, and said: "Zhu Qian, tell your minions not to move. Otherwise, the sword has no eyes and will slit your throat. Don’t worry about sewing it on.”
The coldness on the blade had penetrated the skin on his neck, and some blood flowed out.
The threat of death scares thieves like Zhu Qian. Finally, he shouted to his eager men: "No, don't move!"
The words fell.
Those minions, you look at each other, I look at you, and don't dare to move.
At this time.
The person who captured Zhu Qian ordered the people around him: "Send the signal and inform General Huo!"
"good."
Immediately, the person who responded took a wooden stick and an iron knot from his waist, lit the rope in the middle with fire, and then threw it towards the open space.
in a blink.
The black rope burned out, and then there was a violent explosion.
"Boom!"
The sound spread throughout the valley, and then the deafening shouts of killing were heard.
The Han army has a distinct characteristic.
That is to shout loudly when charging to boost morale.
Soon.
This group of bandits was surrounded by soldiers who rushed up. They were so frightened that they quickly dropped their weapons.
A few days ago, I had the experience of fighting with these imperial troops.
They knew how powerful the Han army was.
While they were in a daze, a path suddenly opened up in the encirclement of three levels inside and three outside.
I saw a handsome young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, his clothes were whiter than snow, his skin was like gelatin, his eyes were like vast stars, and he looked at Zhu Qian with a vague smile in the corner of his eyes. He was riding a big black horse that was as black as ink, towards him. He comes.
"Let him go." The young man on horseback said calmly.
After a few words.
The person who was holding him released his hand immediately, allowing him to regain his freedom.
No one is worried about the other party escaping.
There are three floors here, and there are three floors outside surrounded by infantry. Don’t call him a rogue!
Even birds with wings cannot fly out.
Zhu Qian, who was free, shook his numb arm, then looked at the young man who could command the Han Dynasty army, and asked: "Who are you?"
"Me? My name is Huo Guang, and I am the Marquis of Bolu conferred by His Majesty. Oh, by the way, I am also a cavalry general sent by the imperial court to destroy you bandits!" the young man said calmly.
Zhu Qian frowned and asked: "The dignified Marquis Bo Lu, the Qingqi general of the imperial court, used such despicable means to capture me?"
Huo Guang, who was riding on a big black horse, glared at the other party and said, "Why, you don't accept it?"
"Not convinced!"
Zhu Qian also said bravely.
Hear this.
Huo Guang immediately laughed and said: "Okay, since you are not convinced, I will give you a chance. You can choose one of the three people who captured you just now."
"As long as you can defeat one of them, I will let you go!"
"Do you dare to try?"
Hearing this, Zhu Qian immediately said: "Why don't you dare!"
Seeing that the leader of the thieves was still quite tough, Huo Guang smiled and said, "Very good, then hurry up and pick. If you are too late, I won't give you this opportunity."
Zhu Qian raised her hand, pointed her index finger at the three of them, and said slowly: "I choose."
Are you talking about who to pick?
But his finger suddenly turned from the three of them, pointed at Huo Guang, and said: "I choose you!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qian actually jumped over the three captains and pointed directly at herself.
Could it be that you think you are young?
It’s also a little clever!
Unfortunately, this kind of cleverness often ends up being clever but misguided.
Huo Guang, who was sitting on the big black horse, shook his head slightly and said softly: "It's a good idea, but you don't deserve it!"
Zhu Qian took the opportunity to laugh and said: "Hahaha, what kind of young boy are you saying that I am not worthy? If you are afraid, just say so!"
Afraid?
Huo Guang, who dared to embarrass King Zhao in front of him at the age of twelve, dared to go to the Mobei battlefield at the age of fourteen and captured Yu Yi Zhixie, the Xiongnu chief, had nothing to fear.
Turn over and dismount.
Then he walked directly in front of Zhu Qian. Although he looked directly at him, he said to the third lieutenant next to him: "Give the weapon back to him, and you guys move away."
"promise."
The three captains obeyed the order, returned Zhu Qian's sword to him, and stepped aside at the same time.
However.
At this time, Huo Guang took off the Huanshou knife from his waist and threw it aside.
Seeing the young man's behavior, Zhu Qian was very curious and asked: "What are you doing? Do you want to use weapons?"
Huo Guang's expression suddenly became a little more wild at this time, and he said proudly: "I told you, you don't deserve it!"
"What if I still need weapons to deal with someone like you?"
"Wouldn't you be laughed at?"
In his words, there was complete contempt for Zhu Qian.
This time.
Zhu Qian, who was ridiculed, immediately felt a sense of unknown anger in his heart. While Huo Guang was talking, he suddenly got angry and slashed at Huo Guang with his knife.
Facing Zhu Qian's attack, Huo Guang twisted his body away in an extremely weird posture. At the same time, he used the momentum to trip him up with a sweeping kick.
After doing this.
Huo Guang didn't stop, and stepped heavily on the opponent's arm, clearly hearing the sound of bone cracking.
At this time.
Zhu Qian howled in pain and could no longer hold the knife in her hand.
Seeing this, Huo Guang kicked the knife away, then stepped on Zhu Qian's face, squatted down slightly and said, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"
"so."
"I will give you another chance."
"Tomorrow afternoon, you will take your people to Yangguan, and in the name of defecting to Luo Sande and Jiang Long, help us break into the interior, and cooperate with the inside and outside to capture it."
"After success, I will not kill you!"
"Did you hear that?"
After saying this, Huo Guang exerted a little force on his feet, and Zhu Qian howled in pain: "I know, General Chariot and Cavalry!"
In the process of dealing with Zhu Qian, Huo Guang not only didn't use weapons, he didn't even move his hands.
A face-to-face meeting.
Then Zhu Qian was defeated.
The gap between the two in martial arts is huge.
But this is normal.
Zhu Qian was formerly a knight-errant. The knight-errant was originally an idler, but later he became the leader of a thief. He was injured by wine, sex, and wealth for a long time, and he was already empty.
It's okay for such people to bully others.
It would be extremely difficult for the soldiers who had fought in Mobei.
Not to mention Huo Guang!
After finishing Zhu Qian's side, Huo Guang led the army overnight and sent Yangguang from Yumen Pass to make preparations in advance.
There are two big gangsters here in Yangguan.
One is headed by Luo Sande, and the other is headed by Jiang Long.
It's a coincidence.
These two people are two extremes. One is a thief but still maintains a chivalrous heart, while the other is a cruel and ruthless person.
The so-called persimmons should be picked soft!
Huo Guang decided to eradicate these two big thieves and start with Luo Sande.
Although they arrived overnight, they still discussed strategies to deal with the enemy.
First let his soldiers change into the clothes of Zhu Qian's thieves, and then let Zhu Qian take them to visit Luo Sande in the name of taking refuge.
Strange to say.
Other thieves and bandits lived in the mountains to prevent raids by the imperial court.
And this Luo Sande actually lived with the local farmers in such a arrogant manner.
Maybe he does have a reputation for being chivalrous!
From the information he heard, Huo Guang knew that this guy protected the residents in this area from rogue bandits.
Could it be that he is a good person?
No!
No, he protects this group of people because he lived here and was favored by the people here with a few bowls of rice porridge, so he protects them now. This is repaying the kindness.
As a thief, the first thing he needs to do is rob.
Whose to rob?
Naturally everyone outside of this land.
I heard that it was his idea to unite with the Eighteenth Route Bandits to attack Dunhuang.
The thieves opened the gates of Dunhuang City, and thousands of people were killed.
Women were snatched away like objects, and property and food were directly divided up. This situation was all caused by Luo Sande.
so.
He is the culprit!
at this time.
In front of a small folk temple, Luo Sande watched Zhu Qian leading a well-formed group of gangsters to defect to him, and said in confusion: "Brother Zhu Qian, your subordinates don't look like they have lost the battle. What a look!"
"Were you really beaten by the imperial army?"
"Why don't I believe it?"
Seeing Luo Sande being so cautious, Zhu Qian immediately laughed at himself and said, "I was indeed beaten by the Han army, but you also know my style, Zhu Qian."
"As soon as there is any disturbance, immediately cut off the tail to survive."
"Otherwise, I won't have the chance to join you, Brother Luo."
See Zhu Qian talking like this.
Luo Sande remembered the first battle between the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces and the Han Army. There was still a fight. In the end, because Zhu Qian was the first to run away, one person took away ten people, and ten people took away a hundred people.
As a result, the coalition forces were defeated all the way!
Finally, everyone went back to their homes and hid.
Think of this.
Luo Sande got angry and immediately sneered: "You are right, you, Zhu Qian, are not good at anything else, but your ability to escape is first-rate."
"How about saying you are a bandit?"
"The soil of chickens and dogs!"
In the past, calling Zhu Qian a bandit in front of him would make him angry enough to greet your great-grandmother with a knife.
But now.
Not only was Zhu Qian not angry, she even smiled and said, "Hey, didn't I just run away when I saw that I couldn't be beaten? This is called preserving my vitality!"
Luo Sande immediately narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhu Qian and said, "There is something wrong with you, something is very wrong with you today!"
Zhu Qian thought Luo Sande had discovered something.
He immediately explained: "There's nothing wrong. I'm not going to defect to your brother. He's under the eaves!"
Luo Sande noticed something.
But now when I hear what Zhu Qian said, I feel it is very reasonable.
He immediately gave up his worries and said: "Hahaha, brother Zhu Qian really wants to defect to me? But let me tell you first, my second boss already has someone, and it is impossible for him to feel wronged for you."
Hear this.
Zhu Qian immediately laughed and said, "Whatever you say, the third master is fine."
"Brother Luo, can you help me stutter?"
"My brothers followed me and ran out without eating a bite of food on the way. When the Han soldiers came, they didn't have the strength to help Brother Luo resist."
Luo Sande snorted and said, "Food is easy to talk about, but don't hit me and run away again!"
The words fell.
Luo Sande waved his hand, and his men went to get food.
It didn't take long.
A man in charge of the lookout ran over and shouted: "It's bad, boss, a large number of Han soldiers have appeared in the village, and we are surrounded."
Upon hearing this.
Luo Sande immediately came to Zhu Qian, grabbed him, and said, "Bastard, did you bring the Han army here?"
Zhu Qian immediately said in panic: "I told you, brother, I was beaten away by the Han army."
"so."
"Brother Luo, please let me go first. Let's stop fighting among ourselves."
"For our current plan, we must first push back the Han army. Later, it won't be too late for you to settle the score with me!"
Hear the words.
Luo Sande was furious.
But there is some truth in Zhu Qian's words.
finally.
Luo Sande then let go of Zhu Qian, but at the same time he did not forget to say some nice words, saying: "Brother Zhu Qian, if we can defeat the enemy together today, not only will I not care about this with you, but I will also push you to the position of second master. "
When Zhu Qian heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, then it's settled."
The two of them looked quite short of breath at this moment.
only.
After Luo Sande turned around, Zhu Qian suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at Luo Sande.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Luo Sande caught a glimpse of the cold light from the corner of his eye, and his hair suddenly stood up. He turned around hastily and took out the long sword at his waist to block the blow.
at the same time.
With a kick on Zhu Qian, the two were immediately separated by several meters.
After resolving this crisis.
Luo Sande immediately shouted: "You villain, I, Luo, regard you as my brother, but you want to hurt my life behind my back. How can I spare you today?"
Said.
Luo Sande's eyes were about to split and he was about to kill Zhu Qian.
Seeing this, Zhu Qian immediately shouted to the people he brought behind him: "Three captains, why don't you take action? I am no match for Luo Sande."
The words fell.
Among the group of "minions" he brought behind him, the three captains who had originally captured him stood up and scolded: "You are only getting in the way, so please step aside honestly. The three of us Catching him is enough."
It seems.
The three captains really looked down upon Zhu Qian's martial arts skills.
But Zhu Qian was also sensible. After saying "good", he immediately stepped aside and started watching the show.
have to say.
Luo Sande's martial arts skills were much better than Zhu Qian's, and the three captains fought for a while before they captured him.
As for his men.
However, the Han soldiers who were brought in by Zhu Qian in disguise blocked him from entering.
This was the plan Huo Guang had made with them before.
Using Zhu Qian's surrender as bait, he got close to Luo Sande and waited for the opportunity. Then the fight started, and the third captain took action, forming a core area.
Then the soldiers brought in formed a circle to prevent Luo Sande from escaping, and at the same time held his men back.
This is the inner circle.
The outer circle is Luo Sande's men who were held up.
Finally, it was the large army of the Han army that surrounded it completely, completely swallowing it, and not letting a single bandit go.
Luo Sande was defeated.
His men who were held back were even more defeated by the heroic Han army.
Either annihilate them on the spot, or choose to surrender.
When everything was settled, Huo Guang, as a cavalry general, appeared in front of Luo Sande and said as he had done to Zhu Qian before: "I will give you a chance to work with Zhu Qian to help the court capture Jiang Long and make meritorious deeds." .”
"Either!"
"die"
However.
Luo Sande was not as greedy as Zhu Qian. He shouted loudly at Huo Guang who was riding on the big black horse: "Let me be the court's lackey, bah, don't even think about it. Just kill me." , give me a good time!"
