Duan Qi and the wolf bully rode for five days to reach Xiangyang, and found out that Zhang Xianzhong's camp was in Dongjin, Duan Qi smiled and said: "Dongjin is a ghost gate, Zhang Xianzhong actually chose to camp here, and he is bold enough." The wolf bully was puzzled: "What the hell is the door?" Duan Qidao: "Dongjin was originally called 'Cabinet Gate Pass', when the Yuan army destroyed the Song Dynasty, they besieged Xiangyang here, killed 30,000 people, and countless souls, so later generations called this place 'Ghost Gate Pass' again." ”

The two came to the "Ghost Gate Pass", but when they saw the sergeants coming and going, they all said that Marshal Zhang lived in the Xiangwang Mansion in the city, so they rushed to the Xiangwang Mansion to ask for a meeting. The two reported their names, and the guards entered the mansion to report, and after a while, the guards came out, unloaded their weapons, and introduced them into the mansion to meet them.

Zhang Xianzhong sat on the handsome case, on the left sat the military advisor Xu Yixian, strategists Wang Zhaolin, Yan Xi, and on the right were the four fierce generals under his command: Pingdong General Sun Kewang, Anxi General Li Dingguo, Funan General Liu Wenxiu, and Dingbei General Ai Nengqi. Seeing Duan Qi and Wolf Ba, Lang smiled and said, "You are all idle people in the rivers and lakes, how can you do the opposite?" Don't you see that the Ming Dynasty is about to die, and my righteous army is about to succeed, and I want to come over to get a piece of the pie? ”

The four generals under Zhang Xianzhong's command laughed.

Duan Qi sighed in his heart when he heard this, and secretly thought that this guy was not good, and saw me ridiculing him, so he smiled and said: "The faint king has no way, and the puppet still raises the flag against the violence, how can we and other righteous people lag behind?" Think back then, the heroes of the world all fell into Pingyang, or lurked in the jungle, or fled in the wilderness of the barren hills, or succumbed to the sword of the imperial court, the official army showed off their might everywhere, Yang Sichang, Xiong Wencan, Zuo Liangyu opened their teeth and danced their claws, if it weren't for the marshal of my family roaring at the top of Shennongjia in Daba Mountain, how could the righteous army in the world be prosperous today? ”

After Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were defeated and surrendered to the imperial court, they endured in Gucheng and Fangxian, and were subject to Xiong Wencan and Zuo Liangyu. Later, Tang Hai raised troops to besiege Baokang and Fang County, attracting Zuo Liangyu's army, and Zhang and Luo had no choice but to rebel, and they fought hard several times to have today's prosperity. Therefore, Duan Qi's words implied the meaning of ridiculing and sarcastically mocking the second handsome.

Zhang Xianzhong was quite embarrassed when he heard this, and after laughing, he said to Xu Yixian, Li Dingguo and others: "Although this Duan Qi General is a woman, his courage and courage are no less than that of men, and it is commendable to think that he would hold high the banner of righteousness in Xinyang Jigong Mountain alone. He said to Duan Qi and the wolf again: "Two generals, please sit down!" ”

A sergeant had already moved a stool to invite Duan Qi and Wolf Ba to sit down, Zhang Xianzhong said, "What do the two generals have to do when they come to see each other?" ”

Duan Qi said: "I heard that the marshal played Yang Sichang in Sichuan, and attacked Yang Sichang's lair for thousands of miles, killing Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, which shocked people's hearts. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed, quite proud, and heard Duan Qi add four words: "This is one of them." ”

Zhang Xianzhong's laughter stopped abruptly, and he asked again: "What about the second?" ”

Duan Qidao: "My marshal hopes that the righteous army from all walks of life will fight together to destroy the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said lightly: "Ben Shuai thinks that King Chuang and heroes from all walks of life are in the north, but they can pass through the Yellow River and the Beijing Division in the north." Ben Shuai and all the heroes are in the south, which can cross the Yangtze River and take the capital in the south. ”

Duan Qi nodded and praised: "Zhang Shuai's proposition coincides with my marshal, but my marshal thinks that while we go through the north and south separately, we must also cooperate more." ”

Li Dingguo said: "That's natural, we went west to Sichuan last year, transferred the elite of the official army, and King Chuang and Tang Hai were able to grow in the Central Plains, isn't this cooperation." Xu Yixian said with a smile: "If it weren't for us, King Chuang would still be hiding in the woods of Shangluo Mountain." ”

Duan Qi's main task in Xiangyang was to save Cao Yin, so he didn't want to hurt his anger with Zhang Xianzhong and others, so he just smiled at Li Dingguo and Xu Yixian's self-esteem.

Zhang Xianzhong asked, "Is there another three?" ”

"Third, my marshal and that Cao Impression Mountain fighting spirit, now Cao Yin was captured by Chongzhen in Xiangyang, can be said to be a lost dog, ruined and discredited, but my marshal led the army to victory, playing a triumphant song, the two are contrasting, the victory and defeat are clear, Zhong Bo has appeared, my marshal asked the marshal to hand over Cao Yin to him, he wants to humiliate this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "Your marshal and Cao Impression Mountain's fighting spirit is known to the world, the two of them are a Jingwei Wenchen and a Taoluo general, and it is not appropriate to settle the dispute, so why bother with the past." ”

Hearing this, it seems that Cao Yin has already returned to Zhang Xianzhong.

Duan Qi looked at the wolf bully and said with a smile: "It seems that Tang Hai is going to be disappointed again?" ”

The wolf bully was slightly startled, although he didn't know what Duan Qi's words meant, but he still nodded in approval.

Although Zhang Xianzhong is a military general, he is extremely fine, and when he heard Duan Qi call him "Tang Hai", instead of "marshal" and "big brother", he couldn't help but guess in his heart: "These two people came on Tang Hai's orders, but they didn't seem to respect Tang Hai, and they were tempted at my night wine table." So he said with a smile on his face: "The two generals have worked hard all the way, but they can temporarily go to the pavilion to rest, and in the evening, the marshal will put on a banquet to wash the dust for the two generals." ”

That night, Zhang Xianzhong, Xu Yixian, Li Dingguo, Duan Qi, and Wolf Ba sat in the back garden of Xiangwang's Mansion.

After drinking a few bowls, Duan Qi said: "The handsome man is heroic and strategic, and he has been admired by the wolf bully for a long time. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Your marshal is well versed in the art of war, resourceful, your eighteen brothers are all equipped with unique skills, and the means are amazing, which makes the rivers and lakes shake, the court is panicked, and the marshal admires it in his heart." ”

Duan Qi sighed coldly: "What the marshal said is true, how happy we are when we crisscross the rivers and lakes, but since the beginning of the army, we have been restrained by people everywhere, but we have lost the happiness of the past. ”

The wolf bully patted the table and said: "Alas, the marshal thinks that King Chuang is a hero, and he listens to King Chuang's orders in everything, and he has long forgotten the hatred of his brothers!" ”

Duan Qi and Wolf Ba each shook their heads, Zhang Xianzhong looked at each other coldly, and teased: "Your marshal has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and revenge will be avenged, you follow him, happy rivers and lakes, how satisfying, what else is not satisfied!" ”

The wolf said domineeringly: "Do you know where I and Seventh Sister are?" Zhang Xianzhong said: "Aren't the two generals both from Luoshan? ”

The wolf said domineeringly: "Exactly, my seventh sister and I were originally at ease in Luoshan, but we were forced to be cornered by the government, and had to live in the rivers and lakes, not only that, but the government also killed the seventh sister's in-laws and my three brothers Ruan Tianhu, Chen Hu, Liu Guangfu, although there are thousands of troops and horses, but we can't snow the hatred in our hearts, alas, in vain, as a husband!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "Brother Wolf Ba, your skills are as good as those of Xiaolong, the number one thug in Hanzhong, what is the difficulty of revenge, this marshal will rest in Xiangyang for a few days, and lead his troops to capture Xinyang and Luoshan at the beginning of next month, why don't you and General Duan Qi go with my army, kill corrupt officials together, and take revenge?" ”

Li Dingguo also instigated: "The marshal takes good care of the generals of each battalion, which brother has not repaid his kindness, he will give gold and silver to repay, and which brother has hatred, he will lead the army to fight for revenge." ”

Xu Yixian said indignantly: "The Luoshan official mansion dares to persecute Duan Qi and the second general of the wolf tyrant, and the marshal should lead the righteous soldiers to cut them down, and don't spare these dog officials." ”

Duan Qi thought about it for a while, looked at the wolf tyrant, the wolf tyrant nodded in agreement, and Duan Qi made up his mind and said: "If the big handsome can hate for the two of us, the two of us are willing to follow." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed: "To get two generals, this handsome man is like a tiger with wings, hahahaha......"

"Seventh sister, I heard that Cao Yin did not surrender and is still locked up in the military camp of Ghost Gate Pass," Wolf Ba inquired among the sergeants in many ways as a general of the righteous army and found out the news.

Duan Qidao: "Zhang Xianzhong refused to confide in Cao Yin's affairs, it is estimated that he wanted to surrender but couldn't, he wanted to kill but was reluctant, he was in a dilemma, and he hesitated, so it was inconvenient for the two of me to know." The army will be marched tomorrow, and if Cao Yin does not surrender tomorrow, Zhang Xianzhong may not be willing to take him away. ”

The wolf said domineeringly: "If you don't take it away, what should you do?" ”

Duan Qi smiled: "Of course I killed it." ”

The wolf said domineeringly: "Then how do we save Lord Cao?" ”

Duan Qi sighed: "If you kill it secretly, you and I are helpless, if you are publicly escorted to the execution ground and executed, I have my own way to deal with it." Wolf Ba, you must inquire about Cao Yin's whereabouts today and tomorrow, and notify me as soon as there is news. ”

The wolf said domineeringly: "Seventh sister, don't worry. After a pause, he asked again: "Seventh sister, do you and I really want to follow Zhang Xianzhong?" ”

Duan Qi sneered: "How is it possible? Although this person is also a hero, he is good at killing, and sooner or later he will be defeated. However, he is going to attack Xinyang, and you and I are going to Luoshan to kill happily. ”

The wolf bully suddenly realized: "It turns out that the seventh sister falsely followed Zhang Xianzhong, first, she wanted to inquire about Cao Yin's whereabouts, and second, she wanted to go to Luoshan for revenge?" ”

Duan Qidao: "Luoshan's gang of dog officials, I will capture and kill them, I was worried that if Luoshan was captured, my eldest brother would not allow us to kill indiscriminately, now it's okay, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't have so many rules here, just let my aunt and grandmother kill happily!" ”

The wolf bully said worriedly: "If I really want to capture Luoshan, when I meet Wang Wu's gang of corrupt officials, I will definitely kill them, but where the blade goes, it is inevitable that the jade will be burned, and there are always a few good people in the county government, all of whom will be killed, will it violate the military order of the eldest brother?" ”

Duan Qi smiled and said, "That was done by Zhang Xianzhong's sergeants, what does it have to do with you and me?" After the slaughter of Luoshan County, it is not too late for us to go back and be honest generals of benevolence and righteousness! ”

When the wolf bully heard this, he smiled knowingly and praised: "It's still the seventh sister who has an idea." ”
