They all say that Feihu is brave and lives up to his eternal reputation as a hero. -------Ming Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
Two flowers bloom, one on each side. After Chen Long left, Zhang Ning returned to her true nature as a resourceful saint. At Zishi, she launched a surprise attack, dispersed the weak siege troops outside Xiaquyang North City, and burned all their camps. Zhang Bao, who was in the city, had already set up fake torches on the south wall and planted a bunch of straw men to confuse Dong Zhuo. Seeing a fire in the camp outside Beicheng, he led a heavy army to fight out, broke out of the siege in one fell swoop, killed the imperial soldiers and horses outside Beicheng, and successfully joined forces with Zhang Ning. Zhang Bao's troops, who had been cut off from the rear in the city, also successfully withdrew from the North City.
After the two divisions were combined, there were about 25,000 men in total. Zhang Ning didn't care to talk to his second uncle Zhang Bao, discarded his baggage, and passed through the gap between Xue Li's troops and the west city gate with light equipment. Xue Li's troops were unaware of the situation in the dark and were caught off guard. They did not dare to intercept across the board. The small reconnaissance troops they sent were also shot back by the flanking archers arranged by Zhang Ning.
Xue Li was unable to send someone to communicate with Dong Zhuo for a while, and he had few soldiers, so he had to lead the army to chase Zhang Ning's army after it passed. At the same time, he sent a thousand death squads directly into the west city of Xiaquyang. Soon, news came from the death squad that Xiaquyang was already an empty city. Only then did Xue Li realize that the one who had just passed by his stronghold was the besieged Yellow Turban Division.
Xue Li immediately sent someone through the city to notify Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo received the news, Zhang Ning's army had crossed Dong Zhuo's eastern camp from the flank, and the troops passed two ambush points. Zhang Ning considered that Dong Zhuo might have learned the news, and arranged another 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Dong Zhuo's army. Set up an ambush along the interception route. The rest of the troops retreated towards Guangzong.
Xue Li led four thousand men in pursuit, collecting the baggage discarded by the Yellow Turbans along the way while hoping that Dong Zhuo would send troops quickly. Kankan pursued them into the wilderness outside Meihua Town. Xue Li's soldiers and horses formed a long dragon. Suddenly, a yellow turban ambush emerged from the sparse forest on the roadside, slashing Xue Li's soldiers and horses in two. , the soldiers and horses in the front section could not turn around in time, and most of them continued to pursue. The soldiers and horses in the rear section were smashed to pieces. They fought independently for a while, and the baggage they had just snatched was lost on the ground.
By the time Xue Li restrained the troops in the front section and turned back to fight, the Yellow Turban ambush troops had broken away from the battle circle and poured into the sparse forest on the roadside to the west. Xue Li knew that he had been ambushed, so he ordered him to reorganize his troops, ignore the ambush, and continue to pursue the large fleeing Yellow Turban troops. At the same time, the march became cautious and more scouts were sent to explore the road, which greatly slowed down the pursuit.
Just as Chen Long expected, Dong Zhuo did not expect that the Yellow Turbans would have Zhang Ning's supporting force, nor did he expect that Zhang Baojun would not flee all the way north, but would take the risk of breaking through the gap in front of Xue Li's troops. By the time he received the news from Xue Li and gathered his troops on the eastern front to pursue Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Ning had already crossed Xinhe County and reached the countryside of Julu.
Zhang Ning once again sent a small team of 500 cavalry to Guangzong, asking Zhang Jiao to send troops to respond and prevent Julu from sending troops to intercept. At the same time, the ambush troops in Hancun Town had engaged Xue Li's pursuit troops, once again throwing Xue Li's troops into chaos and successfully stopping Xue Li's pursuit. Dong Zhuo's army was ambushed halfway by the five thousand troops reserved by Zhang Ning, and fell into chaos in the darkness.
When it was daylight, Dong Zhuo and Xue Li's pursuit troops met in the countryside of Julu. Xue Li was worried about the safety of Changshan County and led his troops back to Changshan County without mentioning it. Dong Zhuo's army pursued through the Julu Wilderness, and when they arrived at Guangzong City, they saw trenches and antlers scattered outside the city, and they were already well prepared. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he vomited blood and had to set up camp again. When the army was gathered, Xu Tuguangzong did not mention it.
In Guangzong City, Zhang Baoan had finished setting up his army. He excitedly took Zhang Ning with him and met Zhang Jiao in the Xuan Hall of the city lord's palace. Zhang Bao praised to his face: "My husband, Mei Niang, is so good at saving my troops without any effort. He just doesn't respect me as my second uncle, so he blocked my mouth with this tattered scarf in the middle of the night. It made my mouth smell bad to this day. Haha." Zhang Ning blushed with embarrassment and repeatedly said that the second uncle was disrespectful, and then said that he would turn around to deal with Chen Long and avenge the second uncle.
Zhang Jiao was very happy when he saw that his second brother and his beloved daughter had returned safely, but his expression was still very bad. Everyone knew that they had to deal with Dong Zhuo's siege next, and after arranging everyone's defense tasks against Guangzong, they dispersed. Zhang Jiao left Zhang Ning alone and said, "Mei Niang, where is Chen Long?" Zhang Ning told Chen Long's whereabouts.
Zhang Jiao sighed slightly and said: "Wen Long gathers the world's heroes because he aims at the world. My illness has not been good and I don't know how long I can live." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Ning who was about to speak and said: "Wen Long is my beloved son-in-law. , and such a hero. If I can repel Dong Zhuo this time, I want to hand over the troops to Wen Long and let him transform them. What does Mei Niang think?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ning said sadly: "Father, I, the Yellow Turban, are a serious concern for the court. The war is in the ascendant and I don't know when it will end. When Wenlong comes back, I want to ask him to search for famous doctors all over the world and cure my father. Wenlong's The master is an old immortal, and he may have a life-saving method. As for handing over the troops to Chen Long, you still have your second uncle and third uncle, can they agree?"
Zhang Jiao lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he said slowly: "If I surrender to the imperial court in the name of defeat and then hand over the troops to Chen Long, it can become his political capital. If the situation with my second uncle and third uncle is unfavorable, they will also listen to me. As for the treatment, let's discuss it later." After saying this, Zhang Ning remained silent. Just as he was about to say more, the soldiers suddenly brought up a young man covered in blood. When he looked closely, he turned out to be a young man under Shuai Bocai of Huangjinqu, Runan. He will go to Gongdu.
Zhang Jiao was shocked, and Gong Du cried and worshiped: "General, I came here to ask for help on the orders of Boss Bo. Although he was walking at night in Xiaoxiao, he was unfortunately discovered by the Puyang defenders and escaped in a bloody battle. Boss Boss's army was defeated by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song and his two men besieged and won the first battle, repelling Zhu Jun and besieging Huangfu Song in Changshe. Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew in the evening, and Huangfu Song took advantage of the night to burn the weeds around the camp, burning the camp. I The army was in chaos, and was attacked by Zhu Jun's troops and Cao Cao's reinforcements. They were defeated and tens of thousands of people were killed. Now Bo Shuai retreated to Yanling, formed a formation on the mountain, and desperately resisted the counterattack of Huangfu Song and others. The faction was really in danger. The young general is here, please ask General Tian Gong to send troops to rescue quickly." After that, he cried and worshiped on the ground.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiao's face became even more ugly, and he called Bu Si, who had just recovered from his injuries, and said, "You can lead ten thousand troops and horses, and quickly follow Gongdu to rescue Bocai's army. You must not be reluctant to fight along the way. You can cross the Yellow River near the plain of General Renggong and rush to Yanling's aid." ." After saying that, he handed the order to the talisman, and Gong Du hurried away with Bu Si. Zhang Jiao let out a long sigh, and went back to his room to rest under Zhang Ning's worried eyes.
Again, Chen Long, with unlimited expectations for Zhao Yun, and Zhou Buyi rushed outside Zhending City in casual clothes. Because the Yellow Turban Army was approaching, Zhending City was heavily fortified. The two of them had no way to lead from the imperial court and could not enter through the city gate. It was almost noon, and the two of them were sitting in a tavern on a farm outside the city. They were discussing where to buy Zhang Luyin. Suddenly they saw a few big men with swords and swords walking in a hurry. They also came to the tavern to have lunch.
Those big men were drinking and making loud noises. Chen Long listened carefully and found out that these people seemed to be going to a farm in the suburbs to join the Yi Cong team. Chen Long asked the waiter to bring a jar of wine and deliver it to the tables of the big men. Seeing that Chen Long was so polite, the big men raised their glasses and invited Chen Long to come over and talk.
Chen Long picked up a bowl of wine with a smile and said: "Brothers, I just saw that you are all heroes, so I specially bought some wine to invite you. May I ask some of you, are you going to join the army?" After that, he drank all the wine in his hands. .
Seeing Chen Long's generous drinking, the big men raised their glasses and toasted, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. One of the black-faced men said: "There is chaos in the world today, and the Yellow Turbans are raging. We are about to defect to Yi Cong. If we go in, we can serve the imperial court, and if we retreat, we can protect our children. My brother is an extraordinary person, so why not go?"
Chen Long laughed loudly and said: "That's what I meant! I am Chen Long, courtesy name Wenlong, from Chang'an. May I ask my brother's name? Where do you want to join Yi Cong?"
The big man cupped his hands and said: "I have Gao Lan, whose name is Huanzhi, and I am from Hejian. I heard that Changshan County Duke recommended Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong as the leader of the righteous followers. He is training in Zhaojiazhuang nearby and is about to defect."
Chen Long was overjoyed and thought that it was such a coincidence. Gao Lan would be a famous general in Hebei Province in the future. If he came back with Yun on his left and Lan on his right this time, it would be a real blessing and a joy. I was thinking about lust when I suddenly looked towards Shu. I remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Gao Lan and Zhang He always appeared together. I quickly looked at the other people, wondering if Zhang He was there?
Gao Lan saw him looking at the others and hurriedly introduced the remaining big men to him. There were only five kings and six kings, but there was no famous general Zhang He. Chen Long was slightly disappointed. He raised his wine bowl and offered a toast to everyone. He said to Gao Lan: "Brother, I heard that there is a Zhang He who is very skilled in martial arts in the country of Hejian." , have you ever known it?”
Hearing this, Gao Lan smiled and said: "Zhang He is my friend. I wanted to come with you, but unfortunately his parents blocked it, so we were delayed. How did Wen Long know about him? If you know him, you can visit with me in the future." Chen Long nodded. He clenched his fist secretly, as if he had Zhang He in his palm.
After dinner, everyone meandered to Zhaojiazhuang. Gao Lan looked at Zhou Buyi's short and chubby figure and frowned: "Wenlong, this little brother of yours wants to join the army. This figure is a bit... a bit awkward." Chen Long burst out laughing, making Zhou Buyi feel angry. , slandered: "Well, Gao Lan, I rely on my brain. Unlike you, a big pig with only well-developed limbs, the skill of the fifth limb may not be as good as mine."
Without looking up at the sight of Zhou Buyi, everyone meandered to Zhaojiazhuang, where they saw small bridges, flowing water, green trees and red flowers, and it turned out to be a small paradise. It was very quiet outside the village, and you could hear shouts coming from the empty space in the center of the village. Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw that the people in the village were watching beside the small empty field, and warm cheers could be heard from time to time. Gao Lan caught one person and asked, only to find out that everyone was watching Yi Cong's training.
After leaving the people, Chen Long saw fifty or sixty righteous followers in the empty field, holding long sticks and practicing a set of stick techniques with a young man leading them. When I looked at the young man, I saw that he was eight feet long, with a white face and no beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and tiger eyes with power. He was a phantom wielded by a long stick. He was indeed skilled in martial arts.
Chen Long and Gao Lan both thought it was Zhao Yun. When the training was over, they led everyone forward and saluted: "Is this brother Zhao Zilong? We and everyone are here to defect to Yi Cong."
The man smiled and said: "All the heroes are invited. I, Zhao Ya, am Zilong's biological brother."
Only then did everyone realize that something had happened, and they quickly apologized. The man smiled and said: "You're welcome. Zilong is studying with his master Tong Yuan, so he will be trained by me for the time being. You can register with me later."
Chen Long said: "Brother Zhao, you are not busy registering. We admire Zilong's name and would like to meet him first. I wonder where Zilong studied?"
Zhao Ya said: "It's at the north end of the village. After leaving the village, you walk along the river and you see a single courtyard."
After Chen Long heard this, he said goodbye and left with Zhou Buji, while Gao Lan and others went to register on their own. After crossing a small bridge, the river turned to the west, and the terrain was undulating. The road skirted a small slope, and suddenly I saw a clean small courtyard gate, next to a thin artificial bamboo forest, facing the flowing river, divided into The appearance is quiet and elegant.
When Chen Long knew that he had arrived at the residence of Tong Yuan, a master outside the world, he did not dare to make a loud noise and walked slowly around the courtyard wall. When I walked to the wall of the backyard, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting. I stood on tiptoes and took a look. I saw a young man in white robes inside the wall of the courtyard, brandishing a silver gun. Next to him stood an old man with childish face and dark hair.
The silver gun seemed to be given fresh life in the hands of the young general. It was suddenly like a dragon entering the water, suddenly like the auspicious snow, and in the blink of an eye, it was like the strong wind shaking the willows, and it must have been thunderous and silent. The head of the gun was scattered like scattered stars, and the body of the gun was dancing like a silver wheel of light. There is a poem that praises: The wandering dragon throws the universe and destroys it, and the lonely spear nine times leads to the end of the country.
Chen Long was so excited when he saw it, he couldn't help nodding his head with joy. The little chubby Dunzhou Buyi next to him was so anxious that he jumped up. Just as he stood up, he was spotted by the old man.
The old man's calm and majestic voice sounded: "Which friend is here to take a peek at the marksmanship? Please come in and talk." Hearing this, the young man who danced with the gun stopped his gun and slapped the silver gun on the ground. Yuan Ting couldn't explain it. The mountains stand tall and stand tall.
When Chen Long saw his whereabouts revealed, he was mistakenly misunderstood to peek at his marksmanship. He laughed, picked up Zhou Buyi, and dropped him lightly into the courtyard. When the old man and the young man saw that Chen Long was tall and tall, with an extraordinary appearance, handsome and elegant, and that he could cross the wall so easily while carrying a small fat man, their expressions softened a bit.
Chen Long saw that the old man had a boyish face and fair hair, and a dignified appearance. Although he was wearing wild clothes with a kudzu scarf, he still stood like a javelin, showing an air of immortality. Looking at the young man again, he was wearing white clothes, white shoes, black hair like ink, face as white as the moon, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like hanging gallbladder, a mouth as if painted with vermilion, eyes like lightning, and a majestic appearance. He has thin cheeks and a faint dimple, and he looks very handsome. Chen Long thought to himself that this must be Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
Chen Long cupped his hands and said to the old man: "I wonder if the old man is Master Tong Yuantong? Chen Long, courtesy name Wenlong, is from Chang'an. Today, he and a group of volunteers defected to Yi Cong. Because of their admiration for Zilong's name, he was eager and took the liberty to come here. Visit. I also wish to see you, senior Haihan."
The old man said calmly: "I'm famous for my Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear. Ever since I moved here, there have always been people who want to steal my skills. So I made a rule. Anyone who peeks at my marksmanship and discovers it must be defeated." Only the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear in my disciple's hand can be accepted as a disciple. Although you didn't mean it, you can't break my rules." Zhao Yun suddenly turned the gun in his hand and inserted it into the ground again with a thud, adding more power.
Chen Long said helplessly: "Master Tong, I have the Han family's marksmanship passed down by the immortal master, and I have no intention of becoming a disciple. Zilong's marksmanship is so superb that I am willing to be inferior. Can I be exempted from the competition?"
Tong Yuan smiled and said: "In this case, we need to test the authenticity of the Han family's marksmanship mentioned by Wen Long." After that, he picked up a steel gun from the weapon rack beside him and threw it towards Chen Long without any explanation.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Chen Long had no choice but to grab the steel gun and use the first style of the Han family's marksmanship. He said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, then I accept it."
Zhao Yun was not in a hurry, he picked up the steel spear in his hand and said to Chen Long: "The spear in my hand is called Storm Pear Blossom. Brother Wen Long, be careful."
Chen Long held the steel gun in his hand and faced Zhao Yun, the most powerful opponent in his life. He felt that the steel gun was connected to his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't help but feel confident. Deep in his heart, a fierce fighting spirit was ignited.
