Let's say that Han Baohu was defeated by Luo Cheng and fled back to Qilin Pass in embarrassment.

In this battle, the imperial court soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses. More than half of the 100,000 troops were killed and wounded, and many generals were killed in the battle, even Yuwen Chengdu was also shot in the shoulder, and it was difficult to do his best in a short period of time.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Han Baohu's face was cold and ugly. He sat silent for a long time before he said, "Come on, go and invite General Yuwen up!"

The pro-soldiers naturally knew that Han Baohu was angry, how could they dare to touch his bad head? He hurried down to receive the order

After a short time, Yuwen Chengdu strode into the hall. Although his right shoulder was wrapped in a wound, his steps were strong and he still walked with full energy.

When Han Baohu saw Yuwen Chengdu, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "General Yuwen, this battle is all because of the commander, if the rear army is not chaotic, the general will not be injured because of this."

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and said, "The marshal doesn't have to blame himself, after all, no one would have thought that there would be so many fierce generals under the command of this traitor."

Han Baohu's eyes were slightly gloomy, he nodded slightly, looked at Yuwen Chengdu, and said: "Now that our army is newly defeated, General Yuwen is wounded, the traitors are arrogant, and the morale of our army is low. Ben Shuai wants to send generals from other places to help in the war, what does General Yuwen think? ”

In this regard, Yuwen Chengdu didn't have any opinions, nodded slightly and said: "This matter is all up to the marshal, but I don't know if the marshal wants to dispatch those generals?"

Han Baohu thought for a while and said: "This commander wants to dispatch the general soldier of Lintong Pass to be a master and apprentice, and the general soldier of Hongni Pass, Xin Wenli, to come to help in the battle and destroy the traitors together."

Yuwen Chengdu said in a deep voice: "Speaking of this master and apprentice, the last general has long been famous. This person carries four treasures, so he is called the Four Treasure Generals! ”

Han Baohu eased up a lot, and said with a smile: "What General Yuwen said is good, although the strength of these two people is not as good as the general, but they also have the courage of ten thousand people, if they go to Nanyang, they must be a big help from this commander."

Yuwen Chengdu replied: "In this case, the marshal should give an order to the general as soon as possible and dispatch the second general." Break Nanyang as soon as possible, capture the traitor Wu Yunzhao, and bring him back to the capital to ask for the guilt! ”

Han Baohu did not hesitate and nodded slightly. Before, he still had the idea of admonishing Wu Yunzhao, but after several battles, Han Baohu just wanted to break through Nanyang as soon as possible and return to the dynasty to restore his life.

Losing several battles and losing troops is simply a great shame in his life.

Thinking of the masked figure, Han Baohu suddenly gritted his teeth with hatred, and his heart became nameless.

Without going into details, Han Baohu made two handwritten letters, and sent them to Lintong Pass and Hongni Pass together with his general orders.

……

Besides, Jiao Fang, who was ordered by Wu Yunzhao, went to Tuoluo Village, Hebei Province, and asked Wu Yunzhao's brother Wu Tianxi for help.

Since Jiao Fang came out of Nanyang, he was in a hurry day and night, and after more than ten days of traveling, he finally arrived in Hebei.

But Jiao Fang was originally from Nanyang, how did he know where Tuoluo Village was? And because the place is sparsely populated, there is no way to ask, so I can only look for it all the way.

But it was still fruitless, and the time was getting late, so Jiao Fang had to continue to move forward. It was dark that day, and Jiao Fang's heart was disturbed, so he didn't check for a while, and a tripping rope suddenly pulled out of the grass and tripped Jiao Fang to the ground.

Jiao Fang didn't react when he was still confused, but three or five little minions rushed up and tied him up directly with ropes.

Jiao Fang shook his head fiercely, sobered up a little, looked at the little minions, was a little anxious, and said, "A few heroes, what are you doing here?" There's something important going on, can you let me go? ”

The person led by the little minions looked Jiao Fang up and down, and said with a smile: "I can't help this, you can wait with me to return to the mountain first, and the king will deal with it himself!"

After all, the minion led the horse and the gun to the mountain.

Seeing this, Jiao Fang was silent for a while, so he had to go up the mountain with him. The minion refused to let go, he said that no matter how much it was, it was useless, it was better to go up honestly, or have a glimmer of life.

But Jiao Fang remembered the task of his trip, but he was a little anxious. It doesn't matter if he dies, but if he delays the big thing of the Hou Ye, what should he do?

Jiao Fang followed those little minions, crossed a few hills, and built a big paddock under Xiaogang, in which there was a huge cottage.

Around this cottage, the security is tight, and many small minions are armed with weapons and stationed in order.

A few little minions escorted Jiao Fang into the village and went straight to the cottage Juyi Hall. Among them is a tiger skin chair, on which sits a burly cottage king.

When the cottage king saw this little minion, he asked, "How many merchants have you robbed today?" And how much money did you make? ”

The little minion hurriedly said: "There are no merchants passing by on the road today, and the little one only gets a cow to sober up the king."

The cottage king frowned, and finally said, "Okay, you can take it and let this king taste it."

The little minion took the order and left, that is, Jiao Fang was escorted to the front of the hall and tied to a pillar. The minion asked someone to take a basin of water, put it in front of Jiao Fang, and said: "It is also your honor to take your heart and liver today and sober up for the king!"

The minion poured water on Jiao Fang's heart, took out a sharp blade from his waist, and prepared to dig his heart.

When Jiao Fang heard the words of the minions, he was stunned at first, seeing the sharp blade, how could he not know that death was coming?

He was sad and sad, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and say: "It's not a pity for me Jiao Fang to die, but I hate and miss the great event of the Hou Ye, the Wu family has been loyal and good for generations, why is God so unfair?"

The minion was about to start, and walked out of the cottage king from the righteous hall and asked, "Who is saying that the Wu family has been loyal for generations?"

The minions didn't dare to slack off, and said in a loud voice: "King Qiyu, Fang is the one who claims that the Wu family has been loyal and good for generations, and what else is the Hou Ye to say...... The villain didn't know what he was talking about. ”

The cottage king frowned, and when he came to Jiao Fang, he asked, "The Hou Ye you just talked about, could it be Nanyang Hou Wu Yunzhao?"

Jiao Fang thought that he would definitely die, who would have thought that the turnaround would come so quickly, he hurriedly explained: "Master Hou Wu of Nanyang is the main general of the villain, and now the imperial court has sent a large army to attack Nanyang, so the Hou Ye sent the villain to Tuoluo Village, Hebei Province, to find Master Wu Tianxi for help."

Jiao Fang glanced at the cottage king, and hurriedly said: "I don't want the villain to pass here, that is, I meet the king, I just hope that the king can spare the villain's life, go to report the news, and there will be heavy thanks in the future."

The cottage king's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "What's your name?"

Jiao Fang replied: "The villain is the commander under the Hou Ye's account, named Jiao Fang."

The cottage king waved his hand and said, "Come on, untie his rope."

Jiao Fangzheng looked confused, and the little minion had already moved a chair for him. The cottage king looked at Jiao Fang and said, "Are you saying that you want to find Master Wu Tianxi of Tuoluo Village?" I'm Wu Tianxi. ”

Jiao Fang's eyes widened, and he was in a trance for a long time.
