Liu Biao led his troops to surround Xuanyang City on all sides, and insisted on trapping the people in the city to run out of food. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu led his troops from the east. Liu Biaojun immediately adjusted the formation and faced Lu Bujun.

I saw Liu Biao shouting in the middle of the battle: "Shameless people, surrender quickly." ”

Lu Bu held the halberd and scolded: "You surrounded the city, and you are still polite?" ”

Liu Biao laughed and said, "Whose city? The whole world is not the king's land, but the land of my Liu family! ”

Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "Who wants to capture this thief?" ”

A horse galloped out, it was the young general Gan Ning, the word Xingba, wearing a tiger skin coat, two bells tied around his waist, and holding two halberds. He exclaimed, "The last general wishes!" ”

Lu Bu just wanted to go out of the battle, but he only heard a voice: "Kill chickens with a knife?" ”

Zhang Liao galloped out, and the silver-armored halberd shuttled under the sun. After a while, the two horses intersected, and the three halberds blocked, stabbed, and chopped constantly, and they fought for more than 50 rounds without winning or losing. Lu Bu sighed: "Liu Biao also has such fierce generals, and there are many real people in Jingzhou. ”

Before he could say anything, one person in Liu Biao's formation galloped out, looking nearly fifty years old, but with a strong body. Lu Bu immediately rode out. Intercepted the man, and the man used a big sword to draw a halberd against the heavens, and he resisted five rounds. Lu Bu frowned, swept his halberd angrily, and the man blocked it, pulled out the horse and left. Lu Bu did not chase after him, and killed directly to Gan Ning. Seeing this, Gan Ning immediately threw out two halberds, one halberd towards Zhang Liao and the other at Lu Bu. Both of them dodged, but let the youngster run.

"Be careful!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately ran on his horse, only to see an arrow almost passing by. The man who shot the arrow was a good knife hand, and at this moment he put down his bow and said, "This person knows how to fight. Lu Bu took the bow from his waist and turned around and shot an arrow. The veteran flashed in a hurry, and the arrow cut through the flesh of his neck, but fortunately only saw a little blood.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao returned to the battle. Lu Bu said: "This elder is good at archery. ”

The veteran covered his neck with one hand and said, "My name is Huang Zhong, and I see Lu Fengxian's martial arts and courage today, which is really worthy of his name." ”

At this time, the war drums sounded, and Liu Biaojun's army was in chaos. It turned out that Zhao Yun opened the east gate and came out, disrupting the rear army of Liu Biao's army. Liu Biao immediately withdrew his troops and retreated south. Huang Zhong led 5,000 archers and 10,000 infantry to press the formation, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to enter the overwhelming arrow array, killing those who blocked the way to the ground one after another, as long as they were close to it, it was like mowing grass.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong pulled out his horse and left. This time, tens of thousands of soldiers were surrendered, and more than 3,000 people were captured, and Liu Biao was depressed. Huang Zhong went to the account and said: "You need to order Huang Zuti 100,000 horses to come quickly, otherwise it will be more difficult to capture Luoyang after the people and horses arrive." ”

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun gathered in the city and drank and talked.

Five days later, a light snow fell in the sky, and Liu Biao's thoughts were wandering. Suddenly, Huang Zu's people came to report that Sun Jian crossed the river to attack Nanjun. Liu Biao was shocked and came to gather civil and military forces. Everyone thought that it was not advisable to stay here, so they quickly gathered their troops and left. Tanma returned to Xuanyang City, and Zhao Yun and Lu Bu went up to the city tower. In the evening, light snow was falling. Lu Budao: "Where is this thief going? ”

Zhao Yun stared at the small tail of Liu Biao's army and said, "Liu Biao has a lot of strategists, I'm afraid there is fraud." Lu Bu nodded in agreement. Two days later, Tanma reported several times, all saying that Liu Biaojun had gone away. The two of them were relieved. At this time, Pang Tong was already a hundred miles away, and when he heard about this, he ordered the army to retreat to Luoyang and led a hundred horsemen to Xuanyang City.

After he saw Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, he went to the place where Liu Biao had been stationed to take a look. Zhao Yun and Lu Bu followed, and reported the battle that day. Pang Tong stepped on the snow and said in his heart: "The one with the bell should be Gan Ning, he and Huang Zhong are both ruthless characters, and Liu Biaojun is also strong." Said to the two: "It's hard work, it's a great achievement to be able to stop Liu Biao in Jingzhou." ”

After returning to the city, the soldiers and horses were reorganized. In winter, it was not easy to move troops, so he posted lists in various cities to recruit famous people. Within a week, there were a lot of people coming to Xuanyang City, but they didn't like it. Another week passed, and two people came, both at the same time. Pang Tong ordered to be summoned into the palace. One person is about forty years old, and he arched his hand and said: "I am Hua Xin, the word Ziyu, this is Jia Xu, the word Wenhe." We once served under Dong Zhuo, and after he disturbed the dynasty, he abandoned him. I've been living in Hongnong County, and I heard that the adults are recruiting, so I recommend myself. ”

Pang Tong grinned and shouted in his heart: "Finally, someone who is a little famous in the late Han Dynasty has come." Then he got up and said, "I have long admired the great name, and in the future, please deign to discuss the affairs of the world with me." ”

Hua Xin and Jia Xu hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Let it be sent." Four days later, someone led 2,000 soldiers and horses to the city, and Pang led the troops out of the city. After the battle between Huaxiong and Yang Feng, he followed Yang Feng, but who expected him to be destroyed by Cao Cao. At that time, he led the troops to go first and camped in the mountains at the junction of Hongnong County and Yingchuan County. When he heard that the adults had recruited men who were resourceful and brave, he came to take refuge. ”

Pang Tong hurriedly dismounted, approached and said, "Since it is Lord Hu, how can you not use it." It's just that you are a general at the beginning of the imperial court, will you take too much care of it? ”

Hu Zhen smiled bitterly: "The court is played with by others, and we are as ridiculous as chess pieces." From Dong Zhuo to Huaxiong, and then to Yang Feng. Now it's the turn of Cao Cao, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, which is really shameful. My lord, you have a good way of governance, and we are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and work together to help the community. ”

Pang Tong arranged for him to enter the city, and the soldiers and horses were absorbed. Finally got some people. This year, the snow fell like clouds, and the territory was like silver frost, and it was difficult for cars and horses to travel. At this time, someone reported that Hua Xiong's men and horses were watching outside Tongguan for days. Pang Tong was shocked in his heart, it would be a big trouble if Hua Xiong came to make a mistake. He had spies go around to observe the situation.

In this way, you observe me, I observe you for a while, and when spring begins, the horse returns. In the mountainous forest area north of Tongguan, a large number of people and horses from Linjin County were found, escorting some convoys to and from the mountains. Pang Tong frowned, immediately called twenty horsemen, set off with himself, and two days later left Tongguan and headed north, and about a day later, he came to the place called Tongshan at night. Secretly ascend the mountain at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is lit up everywhere. Pang Tong and the others tied up their horses, walked up, and reached the mountainside after half an hour, where there were dozens of guards, and Pang Tong looked out in the forest. I saw that there was a big hole with bright lights, and the sound of chiseling could be stopped from time to time. Someone came out with mud and rocks, walked to the edge of the cliff and fell down the mountain. I waited like this for a long time, until 10 a.m., when I found that someone was pulling a trailer out of the truck, and there were boxes on it. A man who looked like an officer and soldier followed behind, holding an irregular gold nugget in his hand, which seemed to be made naturally. Pang Tong thought to himself: "Okay, you Huaxiong, secretly digging gold here." ”

At this moment, Pang Tong led people to retreat, but unexpectedly, there was a patrol passing by on the side of the road, and he heard the sound of moving, so he immediately took a closer look. The patrol shouted: "Someone! This voice attracted nearly fifty soldiers around him. Pang Tong and the others ran wildly in the woodland, found the way they came and went down the mountain, and the pursuers shouted to kill.

I saw that I had just arrived at a small road, and there were patrols in front of me, and the two sides collided. Pang Tong pulled out his twin swords, and slashed the man's face with a single blow, and the entourage behind him was brave and killed. The voices of Hua Xiong's men echoed in the mountains. Pang Tong and the others encountered a group of patrol soldiers along the way, numbering six people, and they were all cut down without fighting.

Running all the way to the foot of the mountain, I finally saw the horse, and was just about to get on the horse, only to see more than ten horsemen galloping from the mountain road. Pang Tong was not afraid and prepared for battle with twenty horsemen. The leader of the other party has a fair face, round eyes and thin eyebrows, and a goose egg face. The man said sharply: "Hugh away!" ”

Pang Tong was afraid of them, so he rushed over with the cavalry, and the two sides rushed together, Pang Tong slashed with his swords, and the leader had a spear in his hand. The two fought each other, Pang Tong's double swords blocked for a while, and the horse slashed a few times at close range, but the man was sensitive, and the gun danced for a while, and the sword blow was resolved. When Pang Tongzheng frowned, the infantry on the mountain rushed down. He slashed with one sword, and when the opponent parried, he stabbed the other sword into the horse's face. Fortunately, the man's horse stood up with a scream, and frantically threw the man who sat on it down. Pang Tong said loudly: "Go!" ”

The cavalry did not like to fight, and ran south with him. Pang Tong turned around and looked, and the man always gave him a feeling of indescribability and incomprehension. Pang Tong returned to Tongguan and quickly recruited Zhao Yun to lead 20,000 horses to come to the pass and station. He stood on the gate, and Zhao Yun looked down below, only to see a ride in the distance and watch here. The man looked at it and left.

Pang Tong said: "Although the outside of the pass is Huaxiong's territory, but that mountain is so close to us, and it is where the gold mine is located, so we have to take it." Otherwise, it's not good to be fattened Huaxiong. Zhao Yun said: "If you fight, it will lead to a big war, how do you calculate?" ”

Pang Tong thought for a moment and replied: "At present, Zhang Yang of the state is guarding against Gongsun Zhan, and Wang Kuang is weak. Liu Biao was restrained by Sun Jian. This is a great time to break through Huaxiong. ”

Zhao Yun leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and said, "My lord is far-sighted. However, Huaxiong occupies Yongzhou, with nearly 300,000 soldiers, which should not be underestimated. ”

Pang Tong smiled at him and said, "Zilong is also afraid of Huaxiong? ”

Zhao Yun stood still when he heard this, and said, "How can you be afraid of him!" As long as the huge people want me to go on a campaign, I will not move forward. ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "I know." After he looked at the outside of the gate, he said: "After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the five baht is no longer valuable, and he has made inflation." Now they are bought and sold in gold and silver, or directly exchanged for utensils. So the gold mine is important to us. Linjin County, which took Chang'an County, and by the way, included the gold mine in the bag. ”

Pang Tong was under the night and led 10,000 troops to the north quietly. Along the way, you will walk through the dense forest. He calculated the time just right, and when he arrived at Tongshan, it was the second watch, and it was getting late. But the problem is that the enemy has already been prepared, Pang Tong immediately looked far away, and at the foot of the mountain was a big village. Zhao Yun came to his side and said, "If you take advantage of this night to rush to the village, the enemy won't know that we have arrived." ”

Pang Tong thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Rushing to the village at night, if there is an ambush, we will become a turtle in the urn." But this Dazhai must be fought tonight. He ordered Zhao Yun to lead a hundred horsemen to go first.
