"Zihu, is Zihu here?"
In Shuofang, Zhao Feng was resting in the yard when he suddenly heard someone calling him at the door. He frowned and dropped the stone lock.
"Who?"
The voice didn't sound like a colleague of the Longshan Army. It could only be a nearby neighbor. He had just moved here and was not very familiar with the people nearby.
Sure enough, the person outside the door shouted: "Brother Zihu, it's me, Lao Fan who lives across from you."
Zhao Feng was about to open the door when he heard another voice shouting excitedly: "Brother, it's me."
Zhao Feng was startled at first, then ran over and pulled the door bolt open.
"Zi Long!"
The person coming is not Zhao Yun, who else is Zhao Zilong!
"Hahaha, brother, you didn't expect me to come." Zhao Yun jumped in like a child.
When the old neighbor saw this, he smiled and said: "It's really your brother, that's good, that's good. Next time, young man, don't climb on the fence. Those who don't know think it's... uh, haha, it's okay. , you two brothers chat, the old man leaves first."
When Zhao Feng heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and told the old man no. He knew his brother's temper best. He must have been looking for him when he couldn't find the door, so he searched around nearby, which obviously offended the neighbor.
The identity of this old man is not simple. He is the chief officer sent by the Fan family in Xingyang to garrison Shuofang.
The old man bowed his hands, said goodbye and left.
Zhao Feng glared at his brother angrily, then laughed again and asked: "Zilong, you are not in Youzhou, why did you come to Shuofang?"
Zhao Yun chuckled and said: "I didn't come alone. This time I came with Ji Hou to discuss the fight against Hu."
"oh?"
Zhao Feng was stunned, "Ji Hou is here too?"
Zhao Yun nodded, looked around at his brother's residence, and asked narrowly: "Brother, this yard is so big, are you the only one who lives there?"
Zhao Feng reached out and slapped Zhao Yun so hard that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy, "You are so young, what are you thinking?!"
Zhao Yun is not afraid of pain. He is used to being beaten since he was a child. The eldest brother is like his father. Ever since his old father left, all matters in their family have been handled by his eldest brother Zhao Feng. Zhao Yun is more than seven or eight years older than Zhao Feng, so he is even more... obedient.
"Brother, I'll be staying at your place for the next few days. I'll welcome you if you have good wine and meat. Brother, I came all the way here, but I haven't even had a half-full meal." Zhao Yun rubbed his stomach and complained incessantly.
Zhao Feng frowned and said, "Why, Ji Hou can't control your mouth anymore?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "It's not that Jihou is stingy, it's that we can't find a place to stay. Don't you know? There are barbarians invading Shuofang. There are barbarians from Wuyuan, Dingxiang, and even Youzhou going south." , it was a mess along the way.”
Zhao Yun complained and walked towards the kitchen.
At this time, the kitchen was usually set up in the corner of the yard. Zhao Yun lifted the lid of the pot, lifted the dustpan, looked in the cupboard, and found a bowl of horse meat and two pots of good wine.
"Hahaha, you're giving me an advantage." He said, picking up a piece of meat and stuffing it into his mouth to eat.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw his younger brother looking like he was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
He walked to the water tank aside and washed his face, put on the coat on the stone table, and said softly: "Eat slowly, we have a lot of horse meat in the house. We harvested nearly 10,000 dead horses in the previous battle. They have all been made into dried meat, and I still have several hundred kilograms in my house.”
Zhao Yun swallowed the horse meat and exclaimed: "Are all the tens of thousands of horses dead?"
Hearing the distress in his tone, Zhao Feng laughed and said, "I can't help it. You didn't see that scene with your own eyes. Come on, I'll tell you about it. Even if you hear it, you'll find it incredible..."
···
The other side.
Gongsun Zan rode a white horse, followed by several white horse followers, and also found a temporary guard station stationed in Shuofang City.
"Brother Jiangong!"
"Bogui?"
As the prefect of Shuofang, Sima Fang was sorting out city affairs documents. Suddenly he heard someone calling him. When he looked back, he was stunned.
Gongsun Zan and Sima Fang also knew each other. When Sima Fang was still the order of Luoyang, Gongsun Zan visited him.
The boy who led the way saw that Sima Fang was familiar with the visitors and immediately went to prepare tea and snacks.
Sima Fang put the documents and other items into the secret compartment under the table, and then stood up to greet them.
"Bogui, what kind of wind is so strong that it blew you from Youzhou to Bingzhou? Hahaha, come and sit down and talk."
Gongsun Zan cupped his fists and saluted, and responded with a smile: "There is no other way. The war in Youzhou is tense. I heard that you were the governor of Bingzhou and killed tens of thousands of enemies in less than ten days. Liu Shijun asked someone to come and ask for help. "
"Liu Yu?" Sima Fang frowned.
Gongsun Zan drooped his eyelids and nodded disdainfully, "Yeah, I don't know what he is afraid of. There are tens of thousands of Wuhuan soldiers, but he doesn't take it seriously, but he refuses to let him use his troops. Instead, he wants to Stabilizing the situation through peace talks, what do you think he is doing?"
Sima Fang looked at Gongsun Zan thoughtfully and asked curiously: "Since we want to negotiate peace, why do we send you to Bingzhou to ask for help?"
The feud between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu was not a secret in the Han Dynasty. In Sima Fang's view, it was impossible for Gongsun Zan to listen to Liu Yu so obediently. Liu Yu asked him to come to ask for help, so he really came to ask for help?
There must be reasons for this that I don't know about.
Gongsun Zan's brows moved slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Sima Fang and said, "Brother Jian Gong, I have a favor to ask of you."
Sima Fang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "That's what Bo Gui said."
Gongsun Zan seemed to be organizing his words. After being silent for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "There will definitely be people from Liu Yu coming to you for help in two days."
"Why is this? Aren't you already here?" Sima Fang asked puzzled.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan smiled awkwardly and said: "You know, he doesn't trust me very much. The reason why he sent a certain branch to merge with the state is actually because he didn't want to have a certain branch in front of him all day long to propose sending troops. Therefore, he will definitely send troops again. People come here.”
Sima Fang looked at Gongsun Zan speechlessly, not knowing what he was planning to do when he and Liu Yu were so unhappy.
"So, you want someone to reject him, right?" Sima Fang said amusedly.
Gongsun Zan nodded, clasped his fists and said: "That's right, he will only send troops to attack Wuhuan if he is completely deprived of support. Then someone will let him know that Wuhuan is just a small fish and shrimp, not worth a damn." carry."
Sima Fang frowned slightly and did not agree immediately.
Because he did not command troops. Although he held the title of prefect, the person who could really command the Longshan Army and the City Guards was actually Xu Shu.
Sima Fang was hesitant about whether to help Gongsun Zan. Based on his understanding of Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng would definitely not send troops to Youzhou. In other words, Gongsun Zan's request was actually unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Sima Fang felt that he could sell Gongsun Zan a favor.
So, he nodded and said, "Well, since it's Brother Bogui who's asking for it, I'll go and let him know later. On the Wei family side, I'm still a bit thin-faced."
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Jiangong is really heroic. Now that something has happened, I will put some good wine and food on the table and have a good drink with Brother Jiangong."
···
···
"Hey, brother Zihu, you drank it so early!"
While brothers Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun were drinking and chatting, seven or eight men from the Longshan Army came in outside the door.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Feng hurriedly stood up and introduced several people.
After learning that he was Zhao Feng's biological brother, Lao Gao and others instantly became friendly with him.
Zhao Yun also looked at this group of soldiers known as the First Army of the Han Dynasty with admiration. At this time, he looked a lot shy.
Zhao Feng originally wanted to invite a few people to drink together, but unexpectedly, Lao Gao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to drink this wine later. News just came from outside the city. The secret guards discovered a barbarian cavalry thirty miles to the north. "
Zhao Feng's expression changed, and Zhao Yun also became nervous.
Seeing this, Lao Gao said with a smile: "It's not a big army. I guess it only has seven or eight hundred riders. Mr. Xu asked our team to deal with it. You quickly put on your armor and put your men on." Call us, we’re about to set off.”
Zhao Feng had made great achievements this time, and was even praised in the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List". At this time, he was already the captain of a small team, and he was in charge of a small staff of ten people.
"Okay, Brother Gao, don't worry, I'll send someone over right away."
Lao Gao and others also wanted to go back and change their armor, so they didn't stop much.
After a few people left, Zhao Feng looked back at his younger brother and said helplessly: "You heard it too. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you today. You stay at home by yourself and try not to run around or cause trouble. Do you understand? ?”
Zhao Yun nodded, indicating that he would spare the trouble.
Not long after, Zhao Feng changed into the Dragon Mountain Armor and walked out the door under Zhao Yun's envious gaze.
However, before they went out, a man ran in at the door and said, "Captain Zhao, it's not good. The arrow wound suffered by that boy Chen Chong last time has turned pus. It seems that it is difficult to get up and walk. Our team can only There are actually nine people.”
Zhao Feng's expression changed and he asked with concern: "The wound is pus-filled, can I ask the medical servant to take a look?"
"The medical servants are already diagnosing and treating him. It's true that this boy concealed his injuries for the sake of military exploits. This time, General Xu has been alarmed. I'm afraid he will inevitably be beaten." The visitor sympathized.
Zhao Feng had a look of helplessness on his face. He had just taken charge of the team and he encountered this situation. Later, everyone else was here, and he was the only one missing. He didn't know how many people would laugh at him.
"Brother, I, I can take his place!"
After listening to the words of the two men, Zhao Yun ran forward in excitement, "Brother, let me go to the battlefield for that man."
The visitor saw Zhao Yun and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Zhao Feng made another introduction.
When the visitor learned that he was Zhao Feng's younger brother and was good at martial arts, he rolled his eyes and whispered: "I think it's okay, Captain Zhao, let your brother go into battle for that kid Chen Chong. He's wearing a mask anyway." I didn’t recognize him, otherwise our team might not be able to get the perfect attendance award this month.”
Zhao Feng hesitated, "This..."
The person who came said again: "It's okay, we just need to gather ten people. You can report it to Lao Gao later and say that you have to do it in order to complete the task. Besides, your brother is not as strong as that kid Chen Chong." It’s time to go.”
Zhao Yun looked at the visitor with a grateful face, and then looked at his eldest brother Zhao Feng expectantly, "Brother, let me try it."
Zhao Feng thought for a while, nodded helplessly, and said to the visitor: "Well, you go and inform the other brothers first, and I will take him to Chen Chong's place and put on Chen Chong's armor."
The visitor laughed, and Zhao Yun jumped up with joy.
When Zhao Feng saw this, he said angrily: "You kid, don't be too happy. You are on the battlefield. You must obey my command in everything."
"Yes, Captain Zhao!" Zhao Yun played a trick and made both of them laugh.
···
Thirty miles north of Shuofang County, this place is not very far from the location of the last battle at Langshou Peak.
When Lao Gao led Zhao Feng and other 20 teams, a total of 200 people arrived, the secret guards had already figured out the number of opponents.
Without delay, Lao Gao directly ordered: "Wei Feng, Zi Hu, Lao Bai, Hong Chuan, and Li San, your five teams will be the main attackers. I will lead the other brothers to cover you. Remember, don't rush into the enemy." In the encirclement, after all, we don’t have the advantage in numbers.”
"Yes!"*5
Zhao Feng looked at Wei Feng on the side and knew that he was a descendant of the Wei clan and the commander-in-chief of Shuofang's new army. He also had the same name as him. As for Lao Bai, Hong Chuan, Li San and others, he was familiar with them. , they also cooperated with each other in previous battles.
When Wei Feng saw Zhao Feng's gaze, he dropped the metal mask on his face and said with a smile: "Brother Zihu, I have admired your name for a long time."
Zhao Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be a good talker and it would be much easier to cooperate like this.
He quickly hugged Wei Feng and saluted, "Brother Wei, please take care of me later."
Wei Feng nodded. He belonged to the Shuofang New Army and was also the commander-in-chief of the Shuofang New Army. But this time because Xu Huang personally took action, the Shuofang New Army became an auxiliary. The reason why they were able to send troops to fight today is He finally asked for the opportunity, so naturally he had to perform well.
After a stick of incense.
Zhao Feng and his party of fifty people have arrived at the plain where the Hu people stopped.
The barbarians from all the way noticed their arrival. At this time, not only did some people shoot arrows to warn, but some people rushed up on horses and shouted.
Unfortunately, Zhao Feng and others could not understand what they were talking about.
And they have only one mission, which is to ensure that there are no barbarians fifty miles north of Shuofang. This is the death order given to them by Wei Cheng when they left Hedong County.
Seeing more and more cavalry gathering on the opposite side, Wei Feng couldn't help but become nervous. After all, it was a new army. With only fifty cavalry facing seven to eight hundred Hu people and light cavalry, he was still a little nervous.
Just as nervous as Wei Feng's team was Zhao Yun, who was following Zhao Feng.
However, he was nervous with a hint of excitement and anticipation.
Fifty against an enemy ten times stronger than our own, is this about to happen?
Zhao Yun couldn't help but hold the spear in his hand tightly. It was fate. Chen Chong was also a good wielder of a spear.
At this time, a roar suddenly sounded among the gathered Hu cavalry.
This was the signal to attack. Zhao Feng and others looked at each other and clamped the horse's belly in a tacit understanding, "Kill, kill, kill!"
Zhao Yun instinctively followed the team and rushed forward. He pointed the spear in his hand at a Hu cavalry and was about to succeed with one blow.
Unexpectedly, a man from the Longshan Army next to him cut the Hu man in two with a sword.
"Hahaha, the head belongs to me, Chen Chong, you kid can't do it."
'Chen Chong', also known as Zhao Yun, was stunned for a moment and was accidentally hit by an arrow in the chest. Fortunately, he was wearing dragon mountain armor, so he was not in danger.
Zhao Feng, who was charging ahead, was startled, turned around and shouted: "You brat, can you do it? If not, go away and cool down."
Zhao Yun looked at the generals of the Longshan Army who were like wolves among sheep. He couldn't help but feel blushing and thick-necked. He said loudly: "Who said I can't do it? I'm just robbing heads!"
Chi~
Zhao Yun shot away a barbarian cavalry that was charging forward with a clean shot. He was proudly about to show off to his eldest brother, only to find that his eldest brother was facing four or five barbarian cavalry.
"Brother, let me help you!"
"Get out of here, don't get in the way."
Zhao Feng nimbly dodged the enemy's mace by turning sideways, and then swung the gentian bright silver gun upwards. The sharp blade of the gun directly ripped open a gash from the enemy's chin to his nose, and blood flowed out like a stream of blood. Pillars spewed out.
After dealing with one of them, Zhao Feng pulled the spear and made a spin, narrowly escaping another enemy's long knife again. Then the silver gentian spear turned into a stick and knocked the other Hu man off his horse at an angle.
In just one breath, he easily saved the day, and then he stabbed twice to kill the remaining two people.
Zhao Yun was dumbfounded. This move was really impressive.
"I'm coming too!"
Zhao Yun swept around, aimed at a place where the barbarian cavalry was densest, and charged directly towards it.
In the distance, Lao Gao and his team, who were in charge of the coordination, were observing the battle situation with clairvoyance on the hillside.
Suddenly seeing a man rushing towards the crowd of barbarians desperately, Lao Gao frowned and said: "Which team does this kid belong to? You have turned a deaf ear to what I said, right? You just rushed in so stupidly, and after a while... …Fuck, fuck, fuck~”
"Kill, kill, kill, kill... Hahaha, it feels so good, so good."
Like a stupid young man, Zhao Yun rushed directly into the dozens of Hu cavalry. These dozens of people were archers responsible for shooting arrows to cover the main force, so they were a little far away from the main battlefield.
However, what they didn't expect was that someone would leave the battlefield and stare at them.
Seeing that there was only one person coming, the strong man at the head said loudly: "You continue to shoot arrows, and I will deal with him."
Then, there was nothing more. This strong man just met him and was shot away by Zhao Yun. He fell off his horse and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
But the Hu people, who originally thought someone could restrain Zhao Yun and were still shooting arrows, realized that it was already too late.
The short distance of a hundred steps, with the horse galloping, only took a blink of an eye.
Zhao Yun took a spear made of Longshan iron tires and faced dozens of archers armed with short knives and long bows. The killing was simply not very satisfying.
This wave of tricks made everyone on the hillside look stupid.
Lao Gao even began to doubt whether his decision was correct. If he had known that these barbarians were so weak, he would have simply let Shuofang's new army come and practice their skills early in the morning. Why should he bother with it?
At this time, a man frowned and said: "No, this guy's marksmanship is the same as that of Brother Zihu. When did our Longshan Army have such a number one figure?"
Lao Gao's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered the young man he saw at Zhao Feng's house in the morning.
