The two generals fought jingle-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang for more than ten rounds, and Du Bo's snake spear appeared and disappeared. The three generals Shen An, Lu Yuan, and Wang Ji saw that the main general was in trouble, and immediately stepped forward to attack. Du Bo was not in a hurry, and pointed his tongue Holding the upper teeth, Dantian mentioned the Hunyuan Qi, "Hey!" He shouted loudly.
This drink was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz. Several thieves trembled in unison, especially Lu Yuan Minggui. His face was facing Du Bu's big mouth, and a stream of air hit them in the face. Come, he was so shocked that he narrowed his eyes. Du Bo took advantage of the situation and stabbed out the snake spear, and the man's narrowed eyes could no longer be opened.
An Shirong and others were greatly shocked, wondering why such a fierce general had not been seen fighting before?
Du Bo didn't care what they thought. He danced with the spear in his hand, like a nest of poisonous dragons rushing out of their holes, stabbing at the three generals. Wang Ji dismounted from his horse.
The remaining two lost all their courage and, relying on the large number of soldiers and horses, retreated to their own formations, shouting: "Surround him and kill him, surround him and kill him."
How could Du Bo be willing to let him walk so easily? He rushed into the enemy's formation with his horse and smashed his snake spears across the enemy's lines. The thieves fell to the ground in rows. Who dared to step forward and die?
Regardless of the lives of their men, An Shirong and Shen An abandoned their troops and fled. They rushed a few steps, but before they could see the direction clearly, another cavalry army suddenly rushed towards them. They were led by a pair of generals, Yuan Lang and Zhu Jing.
Yuan Lang laughed loudly and said: "This Lao Du actually gave me a share of the credit?" He raised his hand and smashed Shen An to death.
Poor An Shirong has not yet recovered from the shock, and he is so threatened. How can he still have the slightest will to fight? He reluctantly raised his weapon, but Yuan Lang broke his Panlong stick, and then Zhu Jing split half of his body with an axe.
When Du Bo broke out of the siege, he saw two corpses and couldn't help but said angrily: "There are thieves all over the place, how can they steal my credit?"
Yuan Lang laughed and said, "It's just that General Xiong Wei was cowardly. He withdrew his troops after a few fights. Yuan was fighting all the way and happened to encounter Zhu Jing being besieged by several Generals Biaowei. He rescued him and joined forces to return, and met him face to face. These two, their heads are in front of their hands, how can you hold back and not kill them?"
The three people were noisy and killed An Shirong's men in a moment. They joined forces and went back. When they met Lu Junyi, Du Bo shouted: "Lao Lu, I will fight one against five. Kill three of them and take away the other two." How are you doing here?"
Lu Junyi said proudly: "I also said that all five of his generals died under this gun."
Yuan Lang and Zhu Jing looked at each other, secretly shocked.
The four of them faced off against four powerful generals, and it was roughly a one-on-five situation. Yuan Lang was able to kill them, Zhu Jing was tied and in danger, Du Boli killed three of them, and only Lu Junyi wiped out all his opponents. Divide yourself.
Yuan Lang sighed secretly and said: "The vigor of the thieves has been reduced. After all, we have few soldiers and cannot fight for a long time."
The other three also agreed, and the four of them joined forces to charge again. Seeing that the thieves retreated in fright, they calmly went back to catch up with Cao Cao.
Lao Cao led three thousand troops out, and when he returned to the camp, only about two thousand were left. Fortunately, Liu Yanqing was rescued and the bandits were prevented from pursuing him. I don't know how many defeated troops survived.
After returning to the base camp, Cao Cao went to see Tong Guan alone. After asking Tong Guan's cronies, he learned that Tong Guan had occupied his central military tent since he entered the camp, drove everyone out, and sat inside alone to get angry.
Cao Cao was secretly amused, and walked to the door and shouted loudly: "The last general, Wu Zhi, has repelled the thieves who pursued him, and I came here to see the grace minister."
There was silence for a long time before Tong Guan responded in a low voice: "Come in."
Cao Cao entered the account proudly. Tong Guan sighed and nodded: "Thanks to you today, otherwise the army would be completely scattered by him. How could I go to see the officials? It can be seen that I am still somewhat blessed."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "The prime minister is the pillar of the Song Dynasty, and he will naturally be blessed with great blessings. Even if there is a small setback, it will only make the rebels proud for a while, and they will be arrogant. They will be destroyed even faster."
Tong Guan nodded after hearing this, with a smile on his face, and asked gently: "Are Jingnan and Nanfeng both settled?"
Cao Cao then selectively talked about everything that happened after leaving, and then said: "Now that all the lands are at peace, we will have nothing to worry about until the imperial court sends officials. The last general also recruited several surrendered generals, all of whom are They are quite capable of fighting, and they were responsible for many of the enemies killed today."
Tong Guan frowned after hearing this, shook his head and said: "Hey, I'm afraid that thieves are hard to get rid of. If you want to use them, they must be right, but you must be careful to prevent them from being vicious and difficult to train, and even backlash... Well, just call those few In the future, I will give you a beating. I am not afraid that he will not be convinced, and he will obey your orders from now on."
Cao Cao pretended to be grateful, thanked him again and again, and went to summon all the descendants to tell Tong Guan one by one their abilities and achievements.
Before he could say a few words, Tong Guan waved his hand to stop him. He glanced at the generals coldly and said calmly: "I'm impatient to hear a lot. Let me tell you the truth. You guys should know in your hearts. You were originally a traitor who was killed by a thousand swords and committed a crime that deserves death. Now, thanks to the mercy of the officials and the tolerance of the kings in the court, they are willing to give you a chance to live. This opportunity is hard-won. You must live well. Pay your dues, fight hard in battle from now on, make more contributions, and the results will come to you in the long run, so go ahead."
He waved his hand outward, just like driving a slave away from a dog. Anger appeared on Du Bo's faces. Fortunately, Tong Guan didn't even notice them.
Cao Cao coughed and looked at it with his eyes. When several people saw it, they swallowed their anger and left.
Du Kuo, Yuan Lang, Teng Si, Teng Kan, Liu Yuan, Wen Renshichong, Hu Jing, and Hu Xian, a total of eight surrendered generals, were sullen all the way. When they returned to Du Kuo's account, Yuan Lang roared in a low voice: " If you don't look at Wu Dalang's face, you can kill that eunuch with one shot."
Du Bu smiled evilly and said: "Brother Wu and the officers and soldiers are not of the same mind. Sooner or later, they will avenge today's humiliation."
The remaining few were also blaming the sky and the earth, hating endlessly. At this time, Sun An hurried over, persuaded everyone, and comforted: "It's best to keep these words in your heart, so as not to have ears across the wall. Brother Wu family, I will never let my brothers We are disappointed, just wait and see."
In the Chinese army's tent, Tong Guan spread his disdain and sent word to Wang Zhen and Liu Yanqing to enter the tent. Cao Cao saw that Ma Wanli and Zhou Xin were not in custody, so he asked out of curiosity. Wang Zhen sighed: "This matter doesn't matter. It’s a long story…”
It turns out that Duan Wu led an army of 50,000 to attack Xijing before. He followed the plan of joining the army to challenge Xijing and secretly sent more than a thousand warriors to sneak into Xijing in batches. When the army arrived, he should rush out and seize the city gate in one fell swoop, and then conquer Xijing.
After capturing Xijing, Duan Wu plundered massively while sending generals Gong Duan, Gong Zheng, and Xie Ning with 30,000 troops to attack Zhengzhou and Bianjing.
Chen Zhu, the warden of Zhengzhou, led 10,000 troops and accompanied Tong Guan on the expedition. Zhengzhou was naturally empty. He was attacked by Xie Ning at night. He came down with a drum and killed directly towards Kaifeng. This attack did not frighten the emperor to death, and he burst into tears. After the war broke out, the capital was moved to avoid the situation, causing panic throughout the court.
At the critical moment, a seventh-rank official stepped forward and made a strong statement. This person was Li Gang, a member of the Ministry of War. His father, Li Kui, was an official in Taichang Shaoqing and the pacification envoy of South Beijing Road. He once accompanied Lu Huiqing had made great achievements in resisting the invaders from the Western Xia Dynasty and was proficient in military affairs. Li Gang was deeply influenced by his father and also knew the art of war. He threatened the emperor at that time and said: If the capital is moved, the world will be shaken and all the seas will rebel. If you defend the city, the world will be peaceful. Just wait for Commander Tong to come back and help you. Can be determined.
The walls of Bianjing were thick and thick, and the grain and rice were plentiful. The rebels could not attack them. Tong Guan returned to his army. In the next battle, the veteran Liu Yanqing slashed Gong Duan with his sword, and the general Wang Xunli killed Gong Zheng. The rebel army was defeated. Xie Ning led The remnants of the army fled back to Xijing.
Tong Guan entered the city and was scolded by the emperor. He chopped up Duan Er and others in the street and asked him to go back to Xijing.
At this time, Duan Wu also learned that Wang Qing was defeated and died. He burst into tears and wrote a letter to Tian Hu, asking him to accept it.
Tong Guan led his troops to Xijing, and the king challenged him in the city. He killed several generals in the bandit army. Duan Wu was so afraid that he closed the city and could not leave.
The officers and soldiers thought that they were sure of victory, and they showed off their power and attacked for days. Unexpectedly, Tian Hu had already sent people to agree with Duan Wu on the strategy of a pincer attack. On this day, before dawn, the Xijing bandits came out in full force. Tong Guan was not surprised but overjoyed. , then he organized his troops and went to kill him.
In the chaos of the army, the "Poison Flame Ghost King" came out and burned Wanli Ma to death with a burst of fire. The front army suddenly collapsed. Liu Yanqing's troops came forward to fight, but Niu Wenzhong suddenly led the Jinzhong bandits to fight out in large numbers. Zhou Xin, who was behind the palace, Unable to defeat Niu Wenzhong, he died under his three-pointed and two-edged sword. Tong Guan was attacked from both sides and was immediately defeated. If Cao Cao hadn't come to take over at the right time, he might have been defeated back to Bianjing.
After listening to Wang Zhen's story, Cao Cao was a little worried and said: "Although our troops and horses won the battle against Wang Qing, they have been fighting for several months and have become exhausted. There is no harm in attacking Xijing. If we want to fight Tian Hu again, I'm afraid it will be necessary." Only if Enxiang mobilizes fresh troops from elsewhere can we have a chance of winning."
After hearing this, Tong Guan showed a complacent look on his face and said with a faint smile: "Although General Wu is brave, he is still young. Who said we want to fight Tian Hu? It is enough to kill his tribe across the river and let him know the power of the imperial court. The remaining The next thing is just a letter and an envoy to recruit him, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Cao Cao didn't expect that Tong Guan was planning to recruit him, so he laughed secretly: Tian Hu proclaimed himself king, and his ambitions are not small. I'm afraid the conditions for recruiting him may not be easy, right? Besides, he is not my father-in-law’s wise brother, so he may not necessarily value the fame of the old Zhao family.
Of course, these words were only thought in my heart, but there was a look of admiration on my face: "Enxiang is indeed brilliant. This is a weapon that can subdue others without fighting!"
Tong Guan laughed suddenly.
There is a branch of the sect: they robbed the fifth Huai section of Xijing and attacked the tigers who went south to Jintian. Lao Cao didn't care about recruitment, but he used force to wipe out all the bandits.
