Chapter Sixty-Nine: Receiving Peng Tuo, Goodbye Huangfu

The sergeants on both sides dodged a place, Liu Shi held a gun in his hand, Peng Tuo clenched the big knife, and the two sides stared at each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Peng Tuo is also born with strange powers, since he was twelve years old by Zhang Jiao, he taught martial arts and the art of war, and among Zhang Jiao's many disciples, he was also one of the best. At the age of eighteen, he was appointed as the leader of one of the thirty-six great squares in the world, and naturally had his own extraordinary.

After the defeat, he fled to the mountains, and in the past few years, he has constantly reflected on the reasons for his failure and that of the Yellow Turban Army. In his opinion, the main thing is that there are no suitable weapons, the sergeants are not trained, they are not supported by food and grass, and they are all courageous. After a long time, the government and the powerful rose up to stop the Yellow Turban Army, most of these people had sharp weapons, sufficient food and grass, strong bodies, and well-trained. The Yellow Turban Army was hindered everywhere, lacked food and grass, suffered from hunger, and had low morale, so it could only rely on the large number of people, but this provoked the slaughter of the government and the powerful and powerful.

Helplessly, in this deep mountain, grain and grass cannot be helped, and iron is in short supply, so we have to rely on self-sufficiency to survive. But how can the barren mountains ensure the livelihood of thousands of people? What's more, there are more and more people. These people are all running for his name, so naturally they can't refuse, and they are only divided into a few villages.

I wanted to practice more of these villagers, but these people, seeing that the government did not have the ability to recruit them, did not take them to heart, and often did not listen to orders, or used the excuse that they needed to cultivate the fields and had no time to practice. Only when the need is sent to come and negotiate, rob together, and survive the famine together.

Peng Tuo knew that these people couldn't be pinched together, so he had to give up, while he practiced martial arts diligently and read military books and war strategies. In order to be able to protect himself, Peng Tuo selected a hundred strong men to train every day as his personal guards and follow him. But now in the famine year, it is difficult to support these 100 personal guards, so they have to go out occasionally to rob the government. and forced the governments of Shang County and Lu County to provide protection money.

With these expenses, the life of thousands of people on the mountain was much better, but Liu Shi's arrival broke this peace, and he also used force to conquer them, and soon broke through a village and crippled a village. How does this make these people not panic? I had to come to Peng Tuo.

Peng Tuo looked at Liu Shi, the momentum on his body was getting higher and higher, although he had not fought with Liu Shi, he had heard a lot of rumors about Liu Shi in the past year. Although I am not afraid, I dare not underestimate it.

Liu Shi saw that Peng De had a high fighting spirit, and even he had a sense of oppression, so he nodded secretly.

The two sides were not talking, as if agreeing at the same time, they slapped their horses together and rushed to each other, and with a "bump", Jin Ge was added, Peng Tuo's horse stopped, and Liu Shi also stagnated. Immediately after that, the two sides turned their horses' heads and rushed to each other again, you came and went, and the fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour, eighty or ninety rounds, and the drummers of both sides beat the war drums to the sky, one higher than the other, as if it was not Peng Tuo and Liu Shi who were fighting, but them.

At this time, Peng Tuo was already sweating, his horse was trembling, and Liu Shi was also spitting out.

Peng Tuo was thinking about whether to cheat or not, and shot him with an arrow. Peng Tuo has followed his father to hunt since he was a child, and his archery skills are also perfect, although he can't say that he is a magic arrow, but he can still do it when the arrow rises and falls.

Liu Shi obviously didn't give him a chance, at this time Liu Shi raised his spear again, and smashed it at Peng Tuo with the momentum of Huashan, this smash, like an invisible momentum locked everyone and Peng Tuo. Peng Tuo wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't get out, he only felt that his whole body was covered by a force, and it was oppressing him.

Peng Tuo was in a hurry, plucked up the strength of his whole body, clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and faced Liu Shi, only to hear the sound of "boom", the war horse fell to the ground, and Peng Tuo also rolled aside.

Everyone saw that Peng Tuo's big knife had been bent like a bow hilt, and it was obviously a good knife. Liu Shi's mount also took a few steps back, panting heavily.

Liu Shi clenched the spear with both hands and looked at Peng Tuo fixedly.

At this time, the audience was very quiet, and there was a burst of cheers and screams, and immediately someone ran over to help Peng Tuo.

Peng Tuo shouted, "Stop, I'll come by myself." ”

Peng Tuo knew that he had lost, although there was a certain reason for the lack of horsepower, but the fact was that his strength was indeed inferior to him, and his endurance was not as good as him, and his weapons and mounts were even worse. The defeat was not wronged at all, he knew that there was no if, but.

Immediately endured the pain all over his body, stood up and said to Liu Shi: "You won, I hope you keep your promise, as for me, I want to kill you or follow you." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Peng Tuo, I know that you are a person, and I respect you as a man, so I will compete with you, you have practiced very well, but you just met me." Your strength, stamina, weapons, and mounts are inferior. In this way, I will let you go back today, and you yourself will send the brothers in the village to Shangluo, and I will distribute the fields and sign the contract for your brothers in the village in person. If you don't want to go, you can do it yourself.

But there is one thing, the bandit must not do it again. As long as I'm here, I won't allow the bandits to exist, and I must make sure that one side is safe. After the good thing, if I become a thief again, I will kill him.

In addition, I hope that after you have arranged for the brothers in the back village, you will come to Shangluo to find me, you can join the Guardian Guandao Battalion, and I will appoint you as a military marquis, which is the highest military position I can appoint. You can also join my caravan and become a caravan leader. I know that you still have a mother, and I will arrange a small courtyard for you in Shangluo, so that your mother can live a stable and comfortable life."

Peng Tuo is also a straightforward person, and he bent down and said: "The defeated people have nothing to say, Lord Liu, rest assured, I, Peng Tuo, am by no means a person who rebels, and I will abide by my promise." I hope that Lord Liu will give me a month, and I will give an explanation to the brothers in the village, and I am willing to follow my orders, and I also hope that Lord Liu will keep his promise and leave. Then he turned and got on his horse.

Dian Wei said: "Childe! This Peng Tuo---。 ”

Liu Shidao: "I believe in him!" We're going back to the city too. "Then he turned his horse back.

Dian Wei was helpless, and waved his halberd and said, "Go!" ”

In less than a month, Peng Tuo brought his mother, a hundred guards, and more than 5,000 cottage brothers to Liu Shi.

Liu Shi laughed: "I knew that Zizhen would not keep his promise." I have found the yard where you live, and I have arranged two maid rings, a woman who cooks. Walk! Let's take a look. ”

Peng Tuo was not moved, but insisted: "Some brothers in the village are unwilling to come, and have left the cottage and returned to Yingchuan. Now that more than 5,000 brothers have been brought, please ask Lord Liu to arrange these brothers first, and then it will not be too late. ”

Liu Shi smiled: "Okay! That's in order. He turned to a guard and said, "Go and find the county officials and the household officials." ”

It wasn't until Hu Cao had arranged all the more than 5,000 brothers in the cottage and distributed the fields that Peng Tuo left with Liu Shi.

At the end of the second year of Zhongping (185) Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu rebelled and led troops to attack Sanfu Chang'an, Emperor Liu Hong was worried that the ancestral tomb would be attacked, and appointed Huangfu Song to lead Tao Qian, Yang Qiu, Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and other troops to guard Chang'an, break Bian Zhang, Han Sui. Because of the lack of food and grass, out of prudence, the war was stalemate. Among the ten permanent servants, Zhao Zhong was jealous and hated because Huangfu Song complained to the Son of Heaven that Zhao Zhong's relatives had built a private house, and teamed up with Zhang Rang to impeach Huangfu Song in a series of battles without success, wasting money and food.

Emperor Liu Hong listened to the slander, recalled Huangfu Song, took back his left chariot cavalry general's seal, and cut off 6,000 feudal households. Changed the title of the township, and the food was 2,000 households. Changed to Situ Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot cavalry to replace Huangfu Song, fake festival. Yuan Peng, who held Jinwu, was the deputy, commanding the general Dong Table, and the general Zhou Shen, leading the infantry army of 100,000 people to defend Meiyang for nearly two years. fought against Bian Zhang and Han Sui many times and was frustrated.

In 187, the court recalled Zhang Wen and relieved him of his post as a chariot general.

In 188, the Xiliang Kingdom invaded Sanfu and besieged Chencang, and the emperor once again sent Huangfu Song as the left general, and led the former general Dong Tablefront to support the wind and resist the enemy.

Dong Table believed that it was necessary to enter Baochen Cang quickly, and made a suggestion to Huangfu Song: "Smart people lose no time, and brave people do not hesitate. Now the city can be saved, and if it is not saved, the city will be destroyed. Preservation or destruction is now. ”

Huangfu Song said: "A hundred battles are won, it is better to surrender without a fight." So first of all, you must make an invincible appearance and wait for the enemy that you can defeat. I will not be victorious, but I will be victorious against the enemy. The enemy is unable to defend against it, while our army is very active in attacking, and it can fight wherever it wants, and there is room for it, as if it is moving above the nine heavens, and if it is insufficient, it is as if it is trapped under the nine earths.

Although Chencang is small, the fortifications defending the city are very strong, and it is not the fall of the Nine Lands. Although the soldiers of the kingdom are strong, what they attack and cannot save is not the situation above the nine heavens. Without the situation above the Nine Heavens, the offensive will suffer. Caught under the Nine Lands, the defense will not be breached. The kingdom has fallen into a land of damage, and Chen Cang can be guaranteed not to be breached. I don't need to raise troops to receive a complete victory, why should I save it? ”

Dong Table had nothing to say.

While holding on, Huangfu Song asked the court for reinforcements and allocated grain and grass. However, there was a severe drought in Jizhou, Yanzhou and other places, and there was really no grain to transport, so the court ordered the commander of Wuguan Road and Liu Shi of Shangluo County to ensure the safety of military supplies, grain and grass sent to Chang'an from Huaiyang and Jingzhou through Wuguan Road.

has been escorted by Gao Shun for several months, and seeing that the spring of the year has begun, the matter at hand has been almost dealt with, and the thieves have all subsided. Liu Shi was happy in his heart, and asked Liu Zhen to send it in person. I also heard that it was Huangfu Song who came to Chang'an to supervise the army this time, and thanked him for his recommendation, and planned to personally send a grain by himself, and visit this teacher by the way.
