A leaf of duckweed returns to the sea. Where can we not meet each other in life? ----------Ming Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West"
It is said that Chen Long led Shamoko and Wuxi masters to ride fifty horses, one person and two horses, and rode to Dangjun. On the way, countless people died of starvation, and the villages were filled with bones. Chen Long rescued them along the way. Not only were the orphans hanging beside his saddle, but there were also hundreds of hungry people behind him.
Seeing that they were running out of food and water, they finally arrived at the foot of Huguan City occupied by the Black Mountain Army. Huguan guards the gateway to the Taihang Mountains between Jizhou and Bingzhou. Since Chu Yan raised his troops north of the Yellow River, he was suppressed by Han Fu's troops in Handan and Yecheng. He moved into Bingzhou and invaded Shangdang County, occupying the important military town of Huguan. Pass, taking advantage of the time when Ding Yuan of Bingzhou led the army to Luoyang, he established a large base area.
Chen Long went through all the trouble to come to Huguan just to unite with Chu Yan, draw in backup, and use Chu Yan's power in Bingzhou to open up the passage to the Xiongnu, so that Zhao Yun and Fu Tong's cavalry could obtain long-term supplies and be able to return to Bingzhou at any time. boundary. In the long run, Bingzhou Chu Yan, like Liangzhou Ma Teng, can be a friend who will strive for world hegemony in the future.
Huguan City is not tall, but it is located at the mountain pass. The terrain is difficult, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Most of the people behind Chen Long were in rags, and the people in the city just regarded them as cross-border refugees. Although they saw that Chen Long and others had hundreds of war horses, and claimed to know Qu Shuai, they still turned them away.
Chen Long had to show off his martial arts skills and shot down the flagpole at the top of the city with just one white feather. When the flag fell with a rumble, Chu Feiyan, the general on the tower, was finally alerted.
Chu Feiyan cooed and ordered a large bamboo basket to be lowered from the tower, and only Chen Long was allowed to go up to the top of the city first. Chen Long shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that girls are just not happy enough. If I want to go to your city, all I need to do is stomp my feet. Thinking about it, it is better to be polite first and then attack. He sat in the basket and pulled the rope, and the bamboo basket began to pull up quickly.
Suddenly, when they arrived at the battlements, five or six big men with bows and arrows came rushing in. They were all dressed in the same color, and their shining arrows were aimed at Chen Long's head at close range. Chen Long couldn't help but laughed angrily and said: "No wonder the sages and sages say that only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise!"
The big men couldn't help but admire Chen Long when they saw Chen Long's calm demeanor, looking at death as if he were home, and not caring about being surrounded by arrows. One of the yellow-faced men even winked and whispered: "Brother, be careful in front of my female general." say!"
Before the big man could finish his words, he was slapped on the head. He squatted down in pain, and the arrows from his bow flew out of his hand, passing by Chen Long's shoulder, causing a commotion below the tower. Behind the big man appeared a woman dressed in men's clothing with a sword in her arms. She kicked him again and said, "How many times have I told you, you are not allowed to put the word "female" in front of the general!"
Chen Long raised his head and happened to make eye contact with Chu Feiyan. He saw that she was in her twenties, wearing men's smart clothes. The smart clothes were covered with beautiful leather armor, which highlighted her slender figure. The black hair on the head is combed into a bun on the top of the head, tied tightly with a black ribbon, and a black and shiny ponytail is pulled out, and it is spread casually on the back, fluttering slightly in the wind, very chic and uninhibited. With a slightly chestnut complexion, a smooth forehead, a pair of eyebrows, and two medium-sized single-lidded eyes with dark pupils, she looks very much like the later Japanese beauty Momoe Yamaguchi. Qiong has pink and fragrant lips under her nose, the corners of her mouth are tightly pursed, and her lower jaw is pointed, revealing a large dimple on the left side of her face.
The beautiful woman held a long sword in her arms, folded her hands, and looked up and down at Chen Long with questioning eyes. Seeing Chen Long sitting in the basket and looking at her at a loss, she seemed to have good looks and good looks, and did not look like a treacherous person. Finally he ordered: "Pull him up."
Chen Long finally stood on the top of the city. His tall and fit body stood forward, more than half a head taller than the big men around him. Chu Feiyan did not expect that Chen Long had a perfect figure and extraordinary momentum. His beautiful single-eyelid eyes lit up. She stared at him politely and looked him up and down, and asked: "Who are you?"
Chen Long smiled bitterly, showing his white teeth and said: "Your brother and I have a relationship in Zhengding, Jizhou. Bring me to see your brother and you will know as soon as you ask. Why should you be confused?"
Chu Feiyan was in high spirits and was not willing to let Chen Long go easily. She said softly: "You want to see my brother? You must pass my test first. Who asked you to show off just now? You shot my handsome flag over." He pulled out his long sword and stabbed Chen Long without any explanation.
Chen Long thought of a unruly girl, and while staggering his steps to dodge, he said: "Miss Chu, no, General Chu, take a closer look at these hungry people and children below the city. They were all rescued by me on the way here. They are all looking forward to entering the city. I can have enough to eat! Be merciful!"
Chu Feiyan hesitated slightly, seemed to glance down at the city, and then shouted: "If you win the sword in my hand, let them in!" As he said that, the long sword picked up three sword flowers and floated towards Chen Long's chest. Come.
Chen Long secretly thought, this girl is good at swordsmanship, so she no longer gave in. She used her excellent light skills with her feet to cut into Chu Feiyan's sword force with her bare hands. She leaned on her opponent's wrist, preventing Chu Feiyan's exquisite swordsmanship from being used. Chu Feiyan realized that her opponent was too close, and tried her best to move forward and retreat, so that her long sword could be used to her advantage. However, she found that her opponent had taken advantage of her, and she could no longer use her long sword.
Chu Feiyan was attacked closely by Chen Long. The more he fought, the more frustrated he became. The sword moves he had thought of were completely useless. He threw the long sword and used his fists and legs to fight Chen Long. Chen Long made a fake move. He tricked her into attacking with his fists, grabbed her wrists, and hooked his feet. Chu Feiyan couldn't take a step forward. He couldn't control his center of gravity and leaned forward, so he fell to the ground. His wrists were controlled and he couldn't support the ground. He was about to Fall like a dog and eat shit.
How could Chen Long let a beautiful woman make a fool of herself in front of everyone? With a shake of his hand, he pulled Chu Feiyan up with great force and floated him a few meters away to stand. Chu Feiyan was shocked and determined. She put her palms in a posture and looked at Chen Long blankly, her plump chest rising and falling, and she was panting slightly.
Chen Long cupped his hands and said, "General Chu is good at martial arts. I managed to escape by chance. Can I stop fighting?" A flash of red clouds flashed across Chu Feiyan's face. She ignored Chen Long and shouted loudly: "Open the door and bring them in!"
Chen Long was overjoyed and hurriedly went to the city to open the door, received a group of hungry people, and unhooked the bamboo baskets containing children from their horses. Chen Long saw that Chu Feiyan personally gave some dry food and water to the young children, and arranged for someone to take care of them temporarily. He nodded secretly in his heart. This girl was not bad at heart.
After some fussing and arranging his men and hungry people, Chu Feiyan came to Chen Long and shouted carelessly: "Hey, I don't know your name yet?"
Samoko next to him was not happy and said with a fierce face: "Little girl, this is my lord, the commander who wiped out the Yellow Turbans in the past, and today the governor of Jiaozhou and the prefect of Lingling." When Chu Feiyan heard about it, she cried out. He said in one voice: "Hoo ho ho, what a great official authority!"
Chen Long was about to say something when suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from outside, and a familiar voice came: "Sister, don't be rude!"
At the sound of the words, the crowd parted, saluting and calling "Commander". A man hurried in, with a dark face and broad cheeks, and a majestic imposing manner. It was Chu Yan, the former Zhengding Heibo boss - the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
Behind Chu Yan, it was Zhang Niujiao, the giant man who had been frightened away by Chen Long by crushing the steel thorn. Zhang Niujiao was stunned for a moment and said, "So it's you!"
Chen Long grinned and said, "Yes, it's me, Chen Long, Chen Wenlong!"
Chu Yan hurriedly clasped her fists and saluted: "General Chen's name is like thunder. Please forgive me for being rude in Zhengding. Please forgive me for being rude in Zhengding. Please also forgive my sister. She saw such a person like the general and was just curious about him for a moment!" "After saying that, he winked at his sister, but Chu Feiyan rolled her eyes hard.
Chen Long saw that Chu Yan was polite and courteous, and his feelings seemed to be negotiable. He cupped his fists and said, "I didn't expect that after leaving Jizhou, Gang Leader Chu became the leader of the Black Mountain Army. He is really extraordinary."
Chu Yan said a few polite words, knowing that Chen Long had something to say, and hurriedly asked Chen Long to return to the city lord's palace to discuss it in detail. Chen Long took Shamoke alone to the living room of Chu Yan City Lord's Mansion. The guests and hosts took their seats. Behind him stood the mighty Shamoke. His eyes with Zhang Niujiao standing behind Chu Yan were like thunder and fire. Miss Feiyan liked the excitement the most and followed every step. She sat aside and watched, her wonderful eyes scanning Chen Long from time to time.
Chen Long felt uncomfortable when Chu Feiyan looked at him. He coughed a few times and said, "I am an old acquaintance of Marshal Chu, so I came here to ask for your help."
"The main force of the Black Mountain Army is in Shangdang County. The main force of Ding Yuan in Bingzhou is in the suburbs of Luoyang. Now that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are both dead, Lu Bu's army has been unable to return from the battle at Hulao Pass. Why doesn't the commander-in-chief take advantage of this opportunity to capture it in one fell swoop? The entire Bingzhou?"
Chu Yan's expression remained motionless, but Chu Feiyan tightened her lips, revealing the big dimple on the left side of her face again, which was extremely beautiful. Chu Yan asked: "But what does General Chen want?"
Chen Long said: "A friend of mine was kidnapped by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu. I want to take the road to Bingzhou and enter the territory of the Xiongnu through Mayi County to rescue him."
Chu Yan was silent. When Zhang Niujiao heard about it, he was shocked and said: "With just a few dozen of you, aren't you going to die?"
Chu Yan raised his hand to stop the horns and frowned: "My troops are just the Yellow Turban troops of the past, as well as some refugees and local armed forces. They are said to be one hundred thousand people, but they can only fight forty or fifty thousand people. General Chen I’m afraid I can’t do anything because I’m busy.”
Chu Feiyan suddenly realized it and snorted: "Do you think we are fools? You actually want us to send troops to work for you."
Chen Long shook his head slightly and said: "The commander-in-chief and the general have misunderstood. I have ten thousand elite cavalry in Pinglu. Our army wants to go north to Shuozhou and then enter the Xiongnu. Wherever we pass, there are no heavy troops. Although it can be conquered, it is unable to defend it, and there is no time to deal with the surrendered troops and manage the internal affairs. I wonder if the commander is interested in these towns? If troops can be sent to guard them, the entire Bingzhou will soon be ruled by the commander-in-chief. All I ask is that the commander-in-chief is interested in these towns. In exchange for supplying supplies along the way and guarding the escape route for me, what do you think, Commander-in-Chief?"
