Chapter 463: Killing Star
It is said that in Qingshuihe County, Yongzhou, Zhang Fei encountered a horse thief, and he took action on the street in broad daylight. The leader of the bully was none other than Niu Fu's confidant general Hu Chi'er. After the defeat of the Xiliang Army in Luoyang, he gathered thousands of defeated soldiers and occupied Yongzhou County. They burned, killed, and looted, intimidating the local gentry, and became a Grasshead King.
No coincidence, I visited Qingshuihe County today.
Because he saw Taxue Wuzui's handsome figure, he actually bumped into Zhang Fei and Mr. Zhang. At that time, Tuxue Wuzui and Zhangba Snake Spear had not followed their masters to become famous all over the world. Hu Chi'er wanted to win with more and ordered his men to kill them.
But who is Yide? He is the Hebei Qilin, the ancient god general, and he can easily capture a few thieves.
After the loud roar, when the thieves were in chaos, the snake spear emerged from its hole like a spiritual snake, swaying in Zhang Fei's big hand. The tip of the spear was like a meteor fire, piercing into the ugly bodies, and there was an extremely dense sound in the air. With a pop-pop sound, the tall black figure transformed into countless afterimages, and instantly returned to its original state. The snake spear hit the ground with a bang again, waking up dozens of thieves outside, as well as those carrying a broadsword on their shoulders. Hu Chi'er was scratching her head, and her eardrums were buzzing.
Hu Chi'er suddenly woke up, and in front of him was a hellish scene. The twelve men who had just besieged Zhang Fei fell down one after another. Some were shot in the Adam's apple, some had blooms between their eyebrows, some had their chests shattered, and some had their intestines pierced. The belly was rotten, and without exception, the wounds were gurgling with blood.
The corpse collapsed in an instant, and Hu Chi'er felt a cold air rushing from his vest to the top door. This scene was too shocking, and the bloody smell came straight to him. If he had taken action rashly just now, I'm afraid he would be the one with more transparent holes in his body now. .
Zhang Fei was calm and calm, and the snake spear stood quietly by his side, as if he had never taken action. Only the bright red blood on the tip of the spear revealed that it was the black-faced killer who had just taken action.
All the subordinates were frightened and looked at Hu Chi'er, wondering whether they should run away immediately. Hu Chi'er took off the steel knife from his shoulder and put it on again, hiding the panic in his heart. The steel knife trembled slightly, and finally with a clang, it was inserted into the loess under his feet by Hu Chi'er.
Everyone didn't know why, they all looked at Hu Chi'er and saw him inserting the steel knife into the ground. Suddenly he fell to his knees, clasped his hands and prostrated in the tunnel: "Sir, you are a true god general! Dare you ask Gao's name? If you don't mind, I would like to follow you." !”
All the subordinates suddenly realized it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Knowing that they did not have to die today, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "God General! God General!"
The situation quickly eased. Zhang Fei did not expect that the sword-resistant man was such a bachelor. He was speechless for a moment and asked for a long time: "Who are you waiting for? Who are you, and why are you so arrogant here!"
Hu Chi'er respectfully replied: "The good general learned that the villain's name is Hu Chi'er. I am originally from Hu, and the Han people often call me Hu Chi'er. I have been naturalized in the Han Dynasty and followed General Niu Fu for many years. Unfortunately, my fate is over. In Luoyang, I have been in ruins for several years, and I have occupied a separate area of Yongzhou City." He pointed to his subordinates and said: "These are my brothers of life and death. They have been with me for many years. They died at the hands of the god general today. It is also their own fault. "
"Although Yongzhou City is small, it has hundreds of miles of fertile land and countless cattle and sheep. If the God-General does not dislike it, he is willing to give up the position of city lord to the God-General brother today. We will hold whips and stirrups for him, and we will be free and happy. With my brother, Brave, how did you know that you won’t be able to unify the Central Plains in the future?”
Hu Chi'er said that he was a big brother. Zhang Fei also became excited after what he said. He laughed and said: "Good boy! A man will never change his name or surname. I am Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide of Hebei Province! But look at you burning and killing in Yongzhou. Robbery, I, Zhang Fei, am an upright person, how can I be the leader of thieves and bandits!" Then he leaned his snake spear against the wall and said, "I, Zhang Fei, will not kill those who beg for mercy, so I will spare you today. I hope you will change your ways from now on. Xin. If I find out that you are oppressing good people again, I, Snake Spear, will not be a vegetarian!"
Everyone was greatly disappointed when they heard that Zhang Fei was unwilling to join the gang, and they were deeply disappointed in their usual disregard for principles. Hu Chi'er kowtowed again and said: "What eldest brother said is absolutely true! Of course, in these troubled times, brothers are also trying to survive. If you are not ruthless, who will be afraid of you? I, Hu Chi'er, swear here that if eldest brother is willing to be the master of Yongzhou City today, I will I must repent of my past mistakes, change my ways from now on, follow my big brother, and be determined to save the people from the fire and water."
After listening to Hu Chi'er's heartfelt words, Zhang Fei recalled the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and the same great pride arose in his heart. He laughed and said: "Determined to save the people from fire and water! Well said! However, I am not your eldest brother. Your eldest brother's surname is Liu Mingbei, nicknamed Xuande, is the uncle of the current Holy Emperor. He is the hero who can save the world! Do you remember?"
Hu Chi'er listened to Zhang Fei's words and agreed to accept them as a rabble. He said happily: "I remember, little man! The eldest brother is Liu Huangshu Xuande!"
From then on, Zhang Fei settled down in this small Yongzhou. The more than a thousand people gathered under Hu Chi'er also respected Zhang Fei as the Lord of Yongzhou, and they were known as Flying Generals. Zhang Fei also appointed Hu Chi'er as the general protecting the army, and asked him to restrain the people, severely punish the tribesmen who disturbed and looted the people, and insisted on training his troops. Gradually, the ground in Yongzhou stabilized, and the people were able to recuperate and recuperate, providing cattle, sheep, grain, horses, tea, and even silk. Cloth and other businesses became active and a fixed market was formed. People from far and near came to Yongzhou to do business, which brought stable financial resources.
Life gradually got better, and Zhang Yide sent some troops to Youzhou to find the whereabouts of his eldest brother Liu Bei and second brother Guan Yu. However, Liu Bei had been assassinated by Chen Long and became a vegetative state, and Chen Long had blocked all news about Liu Bei, so naturally his whereabouts could not be found. , and Guan Yu was wandering at that time, and he was not yet famous in the world. The world was so big, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was no news for a long time.
But the world is so turbulent that little Yongzhou can be left peaceful. After the Chang'an Incident, the large armies of Li Jue and Guo Si retreated from the northern front and marched northward, passing by the border of Yongzhou. They burned, killed and looted along the way, and had several fierce battles with Hu Chi'er's troops. Although Zhang Fei personally supervised the battle, the number of troops was too small. The troops of Li Jue and Guo Si rushed straight into the Hexi Corridor, and the war in Yongzhou stopped for a while.
After Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated, Yongzhou fell into depression and its former prosperity was gone. Zhang Fei was filled with hatred, but had no choice but to organize reconstruction. The person who came next completely changed Zhang Fei's fate.
The visitor was Wang Gai, who claimed to be the son of Grand Situ Wang Yun and was known as the emperor's special envoy. Zhang Fei personally greeted him, and Wang Gai said that the emperor wanted to recruit him. Zhang Fei wanted to save the Han Dynasty, so how could he refuse such an opportunity? Then he handed over the troops to Hu Chi'er with full authority. He followed Wang Gai to the palace and was appointed as the general of Yongzhou and the commander of the guards. Together with Pang De, he became the most secret and powerful force in Weiyang Palace.
As for Pang De and Pang Lingming, his martial arts skills were as strong as Zhang Fei's. He was known as the White Horse General, and he was a natural match for the Black Horse General Zhang Fei. Pang De was a native of Goudao County, Nan'an County. During the Chuping period, he defected to Ma Teng's camp and made many military exploits in the conquests to pacify the Qiang people.
According to the official history, during the Jian'an period, Pang De followed Ma Chao in the battle against Pingyang, resisted Yuan general Guo Yuan and Gao Gan, and personally beheaded Guo Yuan on his horse. When Zhang Baiqi rebelled against Hongnong, Pang De also participated in the battle. He often charged into battle every time he went on an expedition, and bravely topped the three armies of Liangzhou. After several twists and turns, he followed Zhang Lu and surrendered to Cao Cao. He was awarded the title of General of Righteousness, and was granted the title of Tinghou in the pass, with a settlement of 300 households.
The most famous thing in official history is that in 219, Pang De assisted Cao Ren in resisting Guan Yu. During the confrontation between the two armies, he often rode a white horse and galloped to kill. He once shot Guan Yu in the forehead with an arrow and was called "White Horse General" by Guan Yu's army. At that time, the Han River overflowed, and he led his generals to fight Guan Yu to the death. They ran out of arrows and fought hand to hand. As he fought, he became more angry and courageous. After fighting for a long time, his boat was overturned by a flood and he was captured by Guan Yu's army. Guan Yu respected his fortitude and prowess and offered him the title of general to persuade him to surrender. However, he glared angrily and refused to kneel, angrily scolded Guan Yu, and eventually died as a martyr.
