The next day, Han Xuan waited for Han Meng to order a thousand soldiers, and then took Dong Ping and them to Yamen Village, Han Xuan came to the gate of the village and scolded: "Can Luo Ping, the dog-headed military master, be in the village? Get him out! ”

The minion patrolling the upper floor of the wall asked, "Who is coming?" What are you looking for our village master? ”

Han Xuan said: "I am Han Xuan, an old friend of your village owner." ”

The minion hurriedly went to report that Huang Ergou, an old acquaintance of Han Xuan, was the carpenter who helped Han Xuan invent a chair in the cottage before. Huang Ergou had already become a mountain patrol general at this time, and he heard that Han Xuan was here and hurriedly reported to Luo Ping.

Luo Ping took Jin Biao, Li Chang and others out of the village, and Luo Ping immediately stepped forward and said: "Isn't this Han Gongzi, you escaped with the help of Hong Lin that day." Why, now you are bringing people and horses to attack my Yamenzhai? ”

Han Xuan glared at him angrily and said, "Less nonsense! Let me ask you, Uncle Su Lesu is a victim of you? He has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm him? ”

Luo Ping smiled: "Yes, I did take someone to Lingwu Village to arrest him." As for why he was arrested, of course, it was for a book of war. ”

Han Xuan scolded: "For the sake of a book of broken soldiers, you actually want to kill an innocent person in Uncle Su, and you also sent someone to assassinate Su Zhong and his wife!" ”

Luo Ping smiled: "Hehe, innocent people? My second sister and the twenty-five members of the Luo family who were killed by Zhao Heihu back then are not innocent people? After surviving that day, I silently swore that I would repay the world as the world treated me! ”

The more Luo Ping said, the more hideous his expression became, and he said with a calm face: "That's not an ordinary military book, but a strange book called "Taigong's Art of War". Before, I wanted to take someone to Lingwu Village to catch Su Lie and ask about the whereabouts of the soldier's book, but Zhao Heihu stopped me. How can he, a scheming person, understand the role of this book, and why is it difficult to learn this art of war to win the world? Later, I caught Su Qiao'er and forced the Su family to pay money to ransom people, and I knew that the Su family couldn't afford to pay the money, so I asked Su Lie to hand over the war book to replace people. I didn't expect you to appear at this time, you brought money to ransom people, and I didn't expect Zhao Heihu to really accept the money and let Su Qiao'er go, what a mouse-eyed person! After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and scolded Zhao Heihu.

Han Xuan was secretly shocked when he heard this, these were Luo Ping's plans before, but he had never heard Su Lie say that there were any military books at home. He asked Luo Ping: "What do you say about the "Taigong Art of War" and Uncle Su, I have never heard him mention it." ”

Luo Ping smiled: "You don't think he's really an ordinary person, right?" He is a descendant of Su Qin, the Guigu Zongheng family during the Warring States Period! Later, I sent someone to arrest him, but I didn't expect him to die rather than hand over his military certificate. ”

While listening to him, Han Xuan beat his horse and quietly moved to Han Meng and Dong Ping, and whispered to them: "Now that the thief is close at hand, capture the thief and capture the king first, you lead the family soldiers to suddenly kill and capture Luo Ping, then the thief will destroy himself." ”

Han Meng said with a smile: "I am enough alone, Dong Zhuangshi only needs to sweep the battle for me and watch me capture this thief alive!" With that, he stepped forward and stabbed Luo Ping with a gun.

"Brother be careful, don't underestimate the enemy!" As soon as Han Xuan finished speaking, he saw that Han Meng had already rushed to Luo Ping. Jin Biao stabbed it diagonally, and picked up the big ring knife to pick up Han Meng's spear head, Han Meng only felt that the hand holding the spear was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the gun.

Han Meng shook his hand, clenched the gun again, and stabbed Jin Biao. Jin Biao dodged, grabbed Han Meng's gun with his left hand, and slashed at Han Meng with his right hand. Han Meng was taken aback, hurriedly dodged sideways, quickly let go of the spear in his hand, and used both hands to hold Jin Biao's right wrist.

Seeing that Han Meng was in danger, Han Xuan hurriedly asked Dong Ping to bring people to support him, and the two sides fought in a mess. Han Meng and Jin Biao were still wrestling, and Han Meng struggled with both hands to snatch the knife from Jin Biao's hand. At this time, Li Chang, who was beside Luo Ping, saw that the two of them couldn't hold on, so he touched the flying knife hidden in his waist.

Han Xuan caught a glimpse of Li Chang's movements, and shouted at Dong Ping and Han Meng, "Brother, Dong Ping." Beware of thieves casting hidden weapons! ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately woke up, and Li Chang had already flown out of his hand and shot at Han Meng with three flying knives. Dong Ping danced his two guns to block two flying knives, but one of the flying knives flew and hit Han Meng's right shoulder, Han Meng screamed, covered his shoulder and fell off the horse.

Dong Ping immediately rode forward, stretched out his hand to Han Meng, Han Meng held his hand, Dong Ping pulled him onto the horse. At this time, Li Chang and Jin Biao killed together, Dong Ping set up two guns to block the weapons of the two, and relied on the stirrups to maneuver with the two of them for a few moves, Han Meng admired it. Dong Ping shot at Li Chang's door, Li Chang retreated, and Dong Ping immediately rushed out with Han Meng.

Han Xuan hurriedly asked the soldiers to answer them, and Han Meng sat behind his horse and shouted at the soldiers: "Withdraw!" Evacuate. ”

Han Xuan and the others withdrew a few miles away, but fortunately, Luo Ping's bandits did not chase after them. Han Meng covered his shoulders and took a breath of pain and said, "Thank you Brother Dong for saving me, otherwise I would have died today." ”

Dong Ping said: "Han Meng's son doesn't have to be polite, you are my son's brother, Dong Ping should save you." ”

Han Xuan said: "Don't talk about it, let's rush back to Luoxian County first, and Xuan Hao will find a doctor to treat my brother." ”

Everyone returned to Luo County, and Han Xuan ordered someone to find a doctor to treat Han Meng, but fortunately Li Chang's flying knife was not poisonous. After the doctor bandaged Han Meng, Han Meng looked at Han Xuan guiltily and said, "It's all because my brother underestimated the enemy and underestimated that thief." If he and Brother Dong lead people to kill together according to what Brother Xuan said, they will definitely be able to capture him. Now that the thieves are on guard, they must not be easy to get out of the village, we can only attack, and it is difficult to break through the cottage! ”

Han Xuan comforted him and said, "Brother doesn't have to blame himself, that cottage thief is no better than other little thieves." It has thousands of thieves, and wants to seize the Qimen military book to attack the world, which shows that its ambition is not small. The elder brother had never fought with them before, so it was inevitable that he would be careless. ”

Han Meng nodded in a deep voice, Han Xuan informed Su Qiao'er about Su Lie, and Su Qiao'er missed Su Lie in her heart after hearing it, and she cried again.

Han Xuan walked around the room, repeatedly reciting the words "Taigong Art of War", Han Meng saw this and said: "Brother Xuan, why bother with a book of war, I heard that there is a book "Liutao" in the world, and its alias is "Taigong Art of War". This scholar can be read by all children, nothing unusual. ”

Han Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" If it was just an ordinary book of soldiers, why did Luo Ping go to all the trouble to get it?

Han Xuan only knew that this Taigong Art of War was rumored to be written by Jiang Taigong, and the information related to it Han Xuan remembered most clearly was a story about Zhang Liang.

It is rumored that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang was walking on a bridge in Xiapi one day and met an old man. When the old man came to Zhang, he deliberately threw his shoes under the bridge, turned back to Zhang Liang and said, "Boy, you go down and pick up my shoes!" Zhang Liang was shocked and angry, but remembering that he was old, he reluctantly went down to take up his shoes and put them on his knees. The old man stretched out his feet and put on his shoes, and then left with a smile.

Zhang Liang was greatly surprised when he saw this scene. The old man walked not far and came back, telling Zhang Liang that he was a teachable material. Let him wait for him here at dawn in five days' time.

Five days later, Zhang Liang came to the bridge, and after the old man tested him several times, he took out a book and said to him: "After reading these books, you can become the emperor's teacher." Ten years later, the world will change greatly, thirteen years later, if you want to see me, go to Huangshi under the Hubcheng Mountain in Jibei, that is me. With that, he disappeared.

Zhang Liang opened this book when he opened it and saw it, only to know that it was "Taigong Art of War". Later, Zhang Liang really helped Liu Bang calm the world.

However, some people in later generations argued that what Huangshi taught Zhang Liang was not the "Taigong Art of War", but the Huangshi Book of Heaven. Han Xuan was thinking that if the "Liutao" circulated in the late Han Dynasty was the book of heaven that Zhang Liang obtained, then those who read this book in the late Han Dynasty would be able to worship the marquis like Zhang Liang, which is obviously impossible.
