Chapter 175: A certain is Zhou Cang
Guan Ping walked closer and saw that the other party had fifteen horses, but vaguely led by the two people in front.
These two men, one with a full beard, about thirty or forty years old, looked rather rough, and looked like a fierce man.
The other person was relatively younger, but he also looked like he was in his twenties and nearly thirty years old, this person looked mediocre, but his right hand holding the big sword looked vigorous and powerful, and it was obvious that this person's martial arts and strength seemed to be very good.
"A certain is Guan Ping, Wei County, Jizhou, received a solicitation letter from Uncle Liu Huang, and he didn't want to come to Hanzhong thousands of miles. Since you have also received a solicitation letter from Uncle Liu, can you give the letter to check to distinguish the authenticity? Guan Ping held a big knife in his right hand and clenched his fists in both hands to inquire.
This is to tell these people on the other side that he Guan Ping also received a solicitation letter from Uncle Liu Huang.
If these people are fakes, don't play with axes in front of Luban's gate; If these people were really recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, they would have a clear conscience and take out the solicitation letter they received to verify their identity.
In fact, all the way to Hanzhong, Guan Ping encountered countless strange robbers.
Therefore, even if there is no Li Yan's request, Guan Ping has to guard against it.
Hearing that Guan Ping was also recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, more than a dozen people on the opposite side were obviously relieved.
In other words, they are also worried about whether this township in front of them is a den of bandits.
At present, it is a troubled time, although most of the states and counties are still peaceful, but many places are rampant with robbers and bandits, and they have encountered this situation more than once through the mountains and mountains: on the bright side, it looks like the township, and the villagers inside look like honest people, but when they enter the township to spend the night, they find that this is a special township, a special bandit den!
If it weren't for the strength of the two of them, where would they have been able to travel all the way to the border of Hanzhong?
"A certain is Zhou Cang, this is my eldest brother Pei Yuanshao, both of whom are from Wufengshan in Yanzhou."
"Some time ago, the Mijia caravan brought me and other brothers a handwritten solicitation letter from Uncle Liu Huang, wanting to recruit our brothers to serve and drive forward, so my brothers gave up their family business and rushed to Hanzhong all the way."
"Well, this is the solicitation letter written by Uncle Liu Huang himself, and I invite the little brother to check it."
Zhou Cang said, and handed over a silk book, which was the solicitation letter brought by the Mi family caravan in the past.
In other words, this solicitation letter was almost lost at the beginning, but he finally knew the importance of this letter, and then did not hesitate to fight, so he regained this solicitation letter. Otherwise, when facing these people today, we will have to fight again.
……
This second wave missed the stay, but it happened to be Zhou Cang and them.
It is said that after receiving Uncle Liu's solicitation letter, they decided that the whole village would defect to Uncle Liu.
However, there are hundreds of men, women and children in the entire cottage, and there are several leaders.
Although everyone wants to defect to Uncle Liu Huang, it is also a long way from Wufeng Mountain to the border of Hanzhong; Along the way, not only will the government arrest these bandits, but there are also many bandits and roadlords who also want to swallow them.
Many of the bandits under his command disappeared, either lost during the chaos or swept away by several other bandit leaders. The little leaders who shared weal and woe in the past couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and swept away some of their subordinates.
In the end, when Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang arrived at the Hanzhong realm, there were only fifteen horsemen left from the hundreds of troops in the past.
The only good news was that when they left Wufeng Mountain, they only had three mounts. But when they fought all the way to the border of Hanzhong, they had fifteen mounts under their command. These war horses are either robbing the officers and soldiers, or robbing other cottages.
Who told these guys to want to annex him Zhou Cang?
In fact, in the middle of the road, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang also hesitated.
After all, although Uncle Liu Huang also has the name of benevolence and righteousness, compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, Liu Bei's power is too different, and among the many princes in the whole world, Uncle Liu Huang is not outstanding. They traveled thousands of miles to go to Uncle Liu Huang, and they wouldn't have rushed to the border of Hanzhong on the front foot, and Uncle Liu Huang would be wiped out on the back foot, right?
However, after entering the Jingxiang realm, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang did not hesitate, but strengthened their determination to defect to Uncle Liu Huang.
Nowadays, in the seven counties of Jingxiang, especially in the area of Xiangyang, two things are rumored.
One of them is that Uncle Liu Huang entered the territory of Hanzhong, and robbed Shangyong and other cities as a basis, and recruited soldiers in the seven counties of Jingxiang. The second is that Zhuge Kongming, who is famous all over the world, has already come out of the mountain, and the monarch he assists is Uncle Liu Huang.
Although Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang are martial artists, they have their own unique wisdom.
Even Zhuge Kongming is from Uncle Liu Huang, what do they have to worry about as thieves?
Yes, because of Zhuge Pox, Zhuge Kongming, who was originally only famous in Jingxiangbo, is now famous all over the world.
Therefore, before arriving at Zhuyang Pass, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang were firm in their determination to serve Uncle Liu Huang.
Hurried all the way, but when he arrived at Shangyong City, he missed the accommodation. Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang had no choice but to find a nearby township to spend the night. If so, about twenty miles away from Shangyong City, it is the best choice.
It's just that when they were about to get close to the water, they saw a bonfire suddenly appearing in the middle of the room, and there was a military formation of dozens of people, which made Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang suspicious: It can't be that they have entered the bandits' den again, right?
Similar situations, along the way, they have encountered many times.
Fortunately, the other party is indeed a normal township, and there are a few fellow Chinese people who are staying in the village.
Well, it's a bit wrong to say that people in the same way, but Zhou Cang doesn't know what words to use to describe it, and the people who stay in the middle of the house are actually similar to them, and they are all virtuous people who were recruited by Uncle Liu Huang from thousands of miles away.
……
Guan Ping took the book in Zhou Cang's hand, but brought it back to the entrance of the village and handed it to Li Yan for inspection.
Since these people took out a book and silk, Guan Ping didn't think there was anything wrong with them. But there is no big mistake in being careful, Guan Ping still has a cautious attitude and asks Li Yan to verify the authenticity of this book.
Although he Guan Ping can also distinguish the authenticity of this letter, he is only a martial artist, and he is naturally inferior to Li Yan in terms of carefulness.
Guan Ping is still self-aware of this.
Li Yan knew Uncle Liu's handwriting, and after a cursory comparison, he knew that this letter was true.
"Yes, it is indeed a solicitation letter written by Uncle Liu Huang himself." Li Yan confirmed.
In this world, there may be people who can imitate other people's handwriting, but there is not much need to imitate Uncle Liu's solicitation letter.
Even if the hostile party forges Uncle Liu's handwritten solicitation letter to do bad things for the sake of ruining Uncle Liu's reputation, it is impossible to be abducted and deceived to the vicinity of Shangyong City, isn't this the rhythm of looking for death?
It must be known that now Shangyong City and other places are all under the rule of Uncle Liu.
Therefore, Li Yan also confirmed that nine times out of ten, these people were recruited by Uncle Liu Huang.
