Zhang Xuan was taken aback, looked at Geng Gong, and said, "You are Geng Gong?" Ok, good, good! Bring the wine, I'm going to have a drink with this Geng hero today! It turned out that Zhang Xu was also a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and with Dou Gu, he also established a lot of war labor, but he had three unique habits: good wine, good sex, and good money.

Geng Gong said coldly: "You don't need to drink the wine!" Zhang Taishou, the emperor is trapped in the mountains, don't you know? ”

"What? Is it the emperor trapped in the mountains? Zhang Xu's wine suddenly woke up half, and he said in fear: "I saw that the Qiang soldiers were overwhelming, surrounding a mountain, thinking that they were hunting, but the emperor was trapped in the mountain?" Zhang Xu's heart suddenly sank, and he thought: "The emperor is trapped in the mountains, I have strong soldiers, but I stand by, after the emperor breaks through, where is my life?" So, Zhang Xuan sneered: "Geng Gong, Hugh has to lie to me!" The emperor is far away in Luoyang, how could he come to this wild place? I sent scouts to reconnoitre, but the Qiang soldiers are just hunting, how can the emperor be trapped in the mountains? ”

Fan Qiang hated, took a step forward, took out his shirt, threw it over, and said, "Zhang Taishou, this is an edict written by the emperor himself, take a look!" ”

Zhang Xuan took it, unfolded it and took a look, and wrote a few lines of words on it, vigorous and powerful: I was trapped in the barren mountains of Longxi, and Fan Qiang broke through with the Huhui camp, and summoned the cavalry captain Geng Gong to rescue him, and all counties were controlled by Geng Gong, so I admired this! Zhang Xuan was afraid in his heart: "The emperor is really trapped in the mountains!" Even if I send troops at this moment and save the emperor, I will be guilty of a capital crime! He sneered repeatedly: "Hmph, this edict is obviously forged, if the emperor passes Longxi, don't I know?" After speaking, he threw the placket back to Fan Qiang.

Fan Qiang was so angry that his whole body trembled, and said, "Zhang Xu, you, you, you...... Hmph, you are a defeated general under the Qiang people, we don't want you to save the driver, as long as you send 10,000 troops to help! ”

"Send 10,000 troops?" Zhang Xu laughed, laughed for a while, his eyes widened, and exclaimed, "What a big breath!" If you open your mouth, you will ask for 10,000, do you have a troop transfer charm? Hmph, there is no troop transfer talisman, and I don't send a single soldier! ”

At this time, a subordinate general came over and said in a low voice: "General, I have seen the emperor's handwriting, and those words are indeed written by the emperor." Geng Gong is a hero in the world, how can he bully each other? I thought that the emperor must be trapped in Longxi, if the general did not send troops to rescue him, I was afraid that the general would have the worry of extermination! ”

"Bold, dare to curse the general! Is Lao Tzu too shou, or are you too shou? Someone, drag him down and blast him outside! Zhang Xuan pulled his hair and roared. A few guards, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated, grabbed the general, and walked out.

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and shouted, "Send off!" ”

Geng Gong didn't insist, and arched his hands: "Zhang Taishou, I'm disturbed, there will be a period later!" He turned and walked out. Fan Qiang was unwilling, glared at Zhang Xuan fiercely, and said angrily: "Zhang Xu, one day, you will regret it!" Following Geng Gong, he went out of the Longxi Mansion.

Fan Qiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said, "This Zhang has no king, why didn't my brother kill him?" Now that there is no soldier under him, how can he save the emperor? If you go to a neighboring county to borrow troops, and it's too late, what should you do? ”

Geng Gong smiled slightly and didn't say a word. Shi Xiu was silent, and Fan Qiang complained: "Shi Xiu, why don't you keep quiet?" Could it be that the three of us will go up the mountain and rescue the emperor? ”

Shi Xiu said: "Brother Fan Qiang, don't worry, after tonight, there will be their own soldiers, but it's hard to say how many there are." ”

Fan Qiang was inexplicable, looked at Geng Gong, and said, "Brother, is this really the case?" ”

Geng Gong smiled and said: "Fan Qiang, let's have a good rest tonight, tomorrow will be a fierce battle!" ”

Fan Qiang saw that Geng Gong was confident, and his heart was a little settled. Yurong was also full of questions, and he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he had to slowly approach Shi Xiu and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi, tomorrow morning, will there really be soldiers?" ”

Shi Xiu smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, and Yurong's exhalation like an orchid came into view, his heart fluttered, he hurriedly lowered his head, didn't dare to look, and said softly: "Princess, this is a crime that does not save the driver, but it is a capital crime!" Zhang Xuan is not afraid, but others are afraid. Have you seen the general under Liu Xu? With an indignant face, he will definitely recruit soldiers tonight and go with us to rescue the driver! ”

Yurong was skeptical: "Really?" What if not? What about the emperor's brother? ”

Shi Xiu smiled slightly and said, "I wasn't sure about it, but my brother is confident and as stable as Mount Tai, so I expected that there would be soldiers tomorrow morning!" Longxi is windy and sandy, don't worry, princess, get a good night's sleep. ”

Yurong smiled like a flower, nodded at Shi Xiu, Shi Xiu's heart suddenly fluttered, and his blood was churning, only the two of them were the only ones in the world, and this moment of time was extremely happy.

There was nothing to say for a day, Geng Gong, Fan Qiang, Shi Xiu, and Yurong rested separately. Geng Gong slept until midnight, suddenly woke up, tossed and turned, difficult to sleep, simply got up, took a spear, found a vacant space, danced, only to see pear blossoms, gun shadows, Geng Gong practiced sweating profusely, and his heart was a little settled. At this time, the sky was already bright, the west was white, he went back slowly, and suddenly saw a person sitting on the side of the road, his eyes were blank, looking at the morning glow in the west sky, his robe was wet with dew, and he was indescribably lonely and lonely, Geng Gong cried out: "Shi Xiu, why are you here?" ”

Shi Xiu was startled, woke up suddenly, stood up hurriedly, patted the dust, and said, "My brother came to practice so early, and I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk." ”

Geng Gong sighed and said, "Brother Xiu, I don't know if you should say it as an elder brother, since you return to Luoyang, you have become preoccupied." Yang Yan told me before, but I didn't believe it, and scolded him for being too careful. However, you do change. You don't say what's going on in your mind, and my brother doesn't ask about it, I just hope that you will come out of the shadows and not be so sad. ”

Shi Xiu lowered his head and said softly, "Don't worry, brother, I don't have anything on my mind." ”

Geng Gong shook his head, pulled him to sit down, and said, "People who don't have a heart won't have such sad eyes." Brother, you have to treat yourself well. ”

Shi Xiu nodded. After a while, he said, "Brother, the Longxi soldiers haven't arrived yet?" ”

"Longxi soldiers will definitely come!"

"Brother, are you so sure?" Shi Xiu was a little shaken.

"Brother Xiu, the general who confronted Zhang Xuan yesterday is called Li Cheng, who used to go on an expedition with my brother Geng Bing against the Huns, and we are old acquaintances. He was brave and loyal, upright, and tactful, and when the soldiers dragged him down, he glanced at me, and I knew what he meant. Li Cheng and the soldiers share weal and woe, and he has won the hearts of the soldiers, he will come to recruit the Longxi soldiers to rescue them together! ”

As soon as the words fell, there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Shi Xiu was overjoyed, hurriedly lay on the ground, put his ear on the ground, listened for a moment, and said: "Brother, there are soldiers coming from the direction of Longxi Mansion!" At this time, Fan Qiang and Yurong also followed, Fan Qiang heard the movement, lay on the ground, listened for a while, and said happily: "Brother, two thousand cavalry, is rushing towards this side, it must be Longxi soldiers!" ”
