In October of the fourth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (187 AD), Ou Xing proclaimed himself a general in Changsha and led more than 10,000 troops to rebel and besiege the city.

"What! Who is the district star? Han Xuan really couldn't remember such a person in history for a while.

In addition to sneak attacks and assassinations, Han Xuan also made them serve as a temporary intelligence department and be responsible for spying on intelligence.

Dong Ping explained: "Ou Xing was originally an ordinary person in Changsha Youxian County. Because of this former Emperor His Majesty's regulations, new officials must first go to the West Garden to determine the amount of money before taking office. At that time, there are often people who commit suicide because they cannot pay it all. Therefore, when the new officials take office, they will compete to loot the people and accumulate wealth as compensation. The people complained about it.

Nayou County is often plundered by thieves such as Shanyue Pengcai, and in addition to natural disasters for many years, the people have no harvest. As soon as the new county magistrate of Nayou County took office, he levied and extorted violently, and finally provoked a popular uprising. Ou Xing became their leader, calling himself 'General Tianxing', and he contacted the Zhou Dynasty of Lingling County and the sect thief Guo Shi of Guiyang County to start the incident together. The thieves were powerful and broke through many counties, townships and towns. ”

After hearing this, Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh, it's really the officials forcing the people to rebel! But Guo Shi seems to have heard the name of Guo Shi somewhere. Han Xuan recalled for a long time before he remembered, wasn't he the powerful landlord who besieged Zhao Heihu with Lei Ling of Huangfeng Village in the first place, but how could he do something with these mutants? Han Xuan had a bad premonition, this matter was not that simple.

Han Xuan immediately said to Dong Ping: "Dong Ping, let the brothers of the Shadow Tiger Army continue to spy on the military situation. You led a thousand elite soldiers to guard Luoping Pass. ”

He said to Cao Xing again: "Zijian, you put aside the affairs in the yamen for the time being, and lead six hundred cavalry to patrol around Luo County day and night. This official personally led 2,000 soldiers to sit in the county seat! Let the officials inform the people that the whole county is in a state of war readiness! ”

Changsha County guarded Linxiang, and Ou Xing attacked the city with more than 10,000 people. Most of them were composed of peasants, dancing with farm tools and carrying long ladders to attack Changsha City, and they attacked Changsha City for two days in a row, and they couldn't even hit the city wall. Taishou Zhang Yi led the county soldiers to hold the city, and Ou Xing led people all the way from Youxian, and the plundered grain was only enough for more than 10,000 people to eat for another day.

Zhang Yi's subordinates told him: "The thieves came from afar, and the tired master could not last long. Lord Taishou only needs to hold on to the city and wait for the imperial court to send troops to rescue. ”

Zhang Yi listened to his advice and couldn't hold on, but waited for reinforcements from the imperial court, but his official position was gone. Han Ting saw that Zhang Yi could not break the thief for a long time, so he appointed Sun Jian to replace him as the new Changsha Taishou to lead the army to meet Ou Xing.

Ou Xing stood under Changsha City, looking at the towering city wall and couldn't help but sigh. When it was dark, one of his men told him that he had been asked to see him.

I saw that the man was dressed in black, and said with a smile: "Ou Xing, how can you lead this group of rabble to break through Changsha City, which is strong and deep?" Presumably, you have little food and grass left in your army! ”

Ou Xing asked: "Who are you, shouldn't you be here to help me solve the problem of food and grass?" ”

The man in black smiled evilly: "That's right! Luo County, you know, the past two years have been stable and stable, and it has a large population, presumably a lot of grain has been harvested this year, and Luo County is small. Wouldn't it be a pity if the general didn't take it? ”

Ou Xing clapped his palms, but he was a little hesitant, and said to the man in black: "It makes sense, it's just that I heard that Han Xuan, the county lieutenant of Naluo County, seems to be a difficult lord to mess with." ”

The man in black smiled and said, "General, you have 10,000 soldiers, and you are still afraid of him Han Xuan?" You don't have to worry, I've got you in touch with foreign help, it's just up to you to see which of you can take it first. After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Ou Xing immediately decided to give up attacking Changsha City and attack Luo County first, this piece of fat can't be snatched by others first! When Ou Xing's subordinates heard that they were going to go north to Taluo County, their eyes showed greed.

In the county seat of Luoxian, a member of the Shadow Tiger Army told Han Xuan that Zhang Hu, a water thief in Jiangxia, led 2,000 men and horses from Jiangxia to Luoxian under the banner of avenging Zhao Heihu.

Han Xuan listened to the news he had spied on and asked, "You said you saw a white-clothed swordsman among the water thieves!" Did the brothers who disguised themselves as undercover brothers be discovered by him? ”

The team member shook his head and continued: "They have already passed Xiajun County and are heading straight to the county seat of Luoxian. ”

Han Xuan couldn't calm down at the moment, the white-clothed swordsman who killed Yang Xiong was in that group of water thieves. Since they were coming to Daluo County, why didn't they take the initiative to ambush them on the road, catch them off guard, and just avenge Yang Xiong. Han Xuan immediately went to the school field and ordered more than 1,000 elite soldiers, and asked Cao Xing to follow with more than 600 cavalry.

Han Xuan found Qian Rui and Zhao Mu and said, "Qian County Order, Zhao County Cheng." I will go with my army to ambush the thieves, and there will be only more than a thousand soldiers and two commanders left in the city. If the thieves come to attack, they can teach the people to go to the city to defend together. ”

Qian Rui and Zhao Mu bowed their hands and said: "Please rest assured, I will wait here to defend the city and wait for the triumph of Han County!" ”

Han Xuan led people across the Miluo River to a valley, and he followed the five methods in the "Book of Tricks": one Xuan, two yellow, three white, four green, and five red. Divide these thousand people into five battalions.

A battalion of Xuanwu battalion, with shield soldiers lying in ambush behind the valley, only waiting for the water thieves led by Zhang Hu to arrive, the sword and shield men will come out to block their way.

The second battalion of the Huanglong Battalion is in charge of the Chinese army and commands the overall situation.

The three battalions of the White Tiger Battalion, consisting of more than 600 cavalry, swam on both sides of the valley, and as soon as the horn sounded, they went around to the rear and copied the road behind it.

In the fourth battalion of the Qinglong Battalion, Han Xuan ordered Cao Xuan to take the archers to ambush in the grass and rocks on both sides. Prepare a strong bow and crossbow, ready to snipe Zhang Hu and the white-clothed swordsman and others at any time.

In the five battalions of the Suzaku Battalion, the soldiers on both sides of the valley put down the radium rolling wood from the top of the mountain, and then set fire to the thatch, rolled it up on the big round stone, poured pine oil and fire oil, etc., and ignited the fireball that rolled down the mountain to disrupt the formation of the water thieves.

The whole valley formed a pocket array, and the more than 600 elite cavalry of the White Tiger Battalion were big killing weapons, they were armed with special iron swords, riding good horses, and each cavalry was equipped with stirrups, which could be said to be the most powerful battalion in the whole army. They are the ropes that tie this big bag.

Han Xuan and the others had been in ambush here for a long time, and finally waited for a large number of water thieves led by Zhang Hu.

He was just about to tell Cao Xing to let the soldiers calm down and let their vanguard come in first, but there was a shout of killing from the back of the valley.

The sword and shield men of the Xuanwu battalion fought with a group of men and horses of unknown origin, and Zhang Hu and the water thieves, who were about to enter the valley, stopped. Han Xuan led the soldiers of the Huanglong Battalion to the Xuanwu Battalion to support, only to see a person riding a jujube yellow horse, holding a horse lance galloping, and a shield soldier flew away.

Han Xuan was surprised: "Lei Ling? Why are the people of Huangfeng Village here! ”

A sturdy man wielded a big ring knife and led the bandits on horseback to kill the shield soldiers who retreated into the valley.

"Jin Biao! Luo Ping: They originally went to take refuge in Huangfeng Village. Han Xuan suddenly realized.

Cao Xuan hurriedly came with someone and said to Han Xuan: "Oh no, my lord, we are surrounded by counter-surrounding!" Zhang Hu led the water thieves around the mountain, and they had already met the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion. ”

Han Xuan immediately ordered: "Blow the horn and let the cavalry of the White Tiger Battalion attack the rear of the water thieves and support the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion." The spearmen marched forward in formation and slew the bandits' stragglers. Sword and shield men, protect the archers. Cao Xing, do you see the man hiding behind the crowd and commanding the bandits with a sword, can you find a way to shoot him with an arrow! ”
