In the fifth year of the Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, Lu Peng took his army out of the base area of the Savage Valley and walked towards the historical stage of the Han Dynasty.

Xi Zhen's 2,000 troops, known as the Tiger Battalion, have a huge tiger head painted on a large banner.

Zhang Yan's 2,000 army, known as the wolf hunting camp, has a hideous wolf head painted on a large banner.

The two armies walked on the road, so that everyone who saw it trembled and did not dare to face it, and every village they passed through was closed, and the people hid behind their doors, praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that these plague gods would leave as soon as possible.

For soldiers and bandits, the people are afraid, the bandits will be coerced and broken, and the soldiers will be blackmailed and broken, whether it is a soldier or bandit, the end of the people is a broken family, no one can protect them, they can only pray to the gods and Buddhas that do not exist, but the gods and Buddhas they only enjoy the worship and worship of these small people, and often do not bless these mourning small people.

Maybe this time the gods and Buddhas really remembered the suffering of these small people, so there was no suffering of the soldiers and bandits in the past, this army was neatly dressed, the pace was the same, and the soldiers carried strange guns majestically, and rumbled away on this street, without looking at the doors on both sides and the frightened eyes behind the doors.

So the people began to worship Changtian in the house, thanking the gods and Buddhas, and the bold and cautious walked out of the house to observe this unique army up close.

Zhang Er, a veteran in the ranks, was originally the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, who was defeated and captured in World War I, and thought he had his head cut off, but he was accidentally purchased as a slave.

The status of the slave is low and pitiful, and sometimes it is not as valuable as a dog life of the master's family, but in any case, he picks up a life himself.

After being taken to the base of the Savage Valley, he originally thought that he would be driven out to open up the wasteland and farm, but in the end, he was trained into the military and continued to be a soldier.

Well, it's a rotten life anyway, and for whom is a war not a war? Serving for whom is not a life, slave, is this life?

But his master suddenly announced that as long as he participated in a war, he would release their slave status, return to the common people, and return to freedom, which was a great grace and temptation, which made him feel the kindness of the master, so Zhang Er, who had become the captain of the team, walked in the team with a long spear and looked around, he really hoped that at this time he would suddenly encounter a group of bandits, even if it was a small group, so that he could really fight, and then obtain the identity of a common man in the battle.

As a result, Zhang Er's ideals were of course shattered, and in the face of this powerful army that had never appeared in a hundred years, the bandits had long been hiding far away and did not dare to face them. Even the fortresses of the big families that passed along the way were closed one after another, and the walls of the fortress were covered with family weapons, nervously guarding this strict army, and then they sent their families out one after another, sending rich wine and meat, which was considered to buy peace.

When Lü Peng approached a huge fortress, outside the closed gate of the fortress, on the side of the road, stood a scribe with a high crown, behind him stood a team of trembling house slaves, and there was a sliding altar of cattle and sheep wine on the ground.

When Lu Peng's war horse walked in front of him, the scribe respectfully bowed his hand: "I don't know which hero is in front of me, but the representative of the Zhao family, Zao Wou-ki, is so polite." Then he pointed to the cattle, mutton, wine and meat behind him, and said with a peaceful and humble attitude: "This is a little reward for my family, and I hope that your army will not harass our fortress." ”

Emotional people think of themselves as robbers of which way, or the remnants of the yellow scarf, this is to pay protection money.

It's no wonder that his own men and horses are strong and strong, in this place of Youzhou, even the official army is not as good as just in case, and everyone wears different clothes from the official army, at this time, Lu Peng has no spare strength to unify the clothes for the soldiers, so it is not surprising that he is regarded as a bandit.

Lu Peng took the war horse, got down on the war horse, and walked a few steps forward to arch his hand: "Under Lu Peng, heroes don't dare to be." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Lu Peng, this Zhao Wou-Ki was surprised at that time: "Could it be Lu Peng and Lu Hanqiang who broke the yellow turban in Youzhou, rescued in Qingzhou, and cut off the enemy's horse with one sword?" ”

"Sir praised it falsely, it is under it." Lu Peng is very proud, it seems that his name is not small, and he already has fans following, come on, I will sign for you.

Saying this, Zao Wou-Ki was shocked, could it be that this Lu Peng is also the opposite? So what's going on in this world?

Seeing Zhao Wouji's surprise, Lu Peng explained: "I followed General Zhu Wei to crusade against the Changshe Zhang Jiao anti-thief, and the war is over, this is to go back to Youzhou to report to Lord Taishou and Lord Captain, but I don't want to disturb the Zhao family, it is really a sin, a sin." ”

Hearing that Lu Peng didn't rebel, but it was the rescue from all over the country who came back to return to Captain Taishou, at that time, this Zao Wou-Ki breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was not as humble as just now, and he became arrogant.

The family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the power has been extremely huge, so huge that they can influence the court situation, of course, they are not afraid of officials, but they are afraid of thieves, since Lu Peng wants to ask for officials, it is not in their eyes at all.

Zao Wou-Ki asked again, "What is the general's position now?" ”

Lu Peng replied honestly: "White body." ”

At this moment, Zao Wou-Ki was even more arrogant, raising his head directly to the sky, and his contempt for Lu Peng was all written on his face, and he didn't have the slightest fan-like consciousness at all.

snorted contemptuously, and then took out a charity posture, and pointed to the cattle and sheep on the ground and said: "The general's triumphant return is really gratifying. Then without waiting for Lu Peng's humble answer, he turned around directly, and led his subordinates to lead the cattle and sheep and drove away directly.

At that time, Lu Peng was embarrassed and stunned. It's too much of a slap in the face.

If you call yourself a thief, then the cattle, sheep, wine and meat are all your own, or you can extort more money, but as soon as you say that you are a township brave rebel, you are still white, and as a result, people directly drop ten jars of worthless wine lees, and then pull the cattle and sheep that should be their own with their nostrils facing the sky and go back directly, and they don't bother to pay attention to themselves at all.

Lu Peng's face turned red and white, what's wrong with the big family, can the big family be so humiliating?

This made Lu Peng feel infinitely embarrassed, but he was even more annoyed and angry, this was a direct contempt for himself, and this was a direct slap in the face for himself.

The ten jars of wine lees are gone, and then Lu Peng climbed on the war horse, and secretly thought: "When I control the world, I must deal with the big family seriously, Xiaoyi, you wait for me, I not only want your cattle and sheep, but also your land and money, especially the population you control." ”

After making a disgraced face, the army moved on.

This time Lu Peng came out without grain and grass, according to his original rules, they were all bought along the way, and they could be bought and sold fairly, but the result was the Zhao family, although the big families along the way sold themselves grain and grass, but they were all of high quality and high quality, and they were all cynical, and they didn't put Lu Peng in their eyes at all, which increased Lu Peng's resentment towards the Zhao family, this must be what the Zhao family said, or it wouldn't be so, this is what the Zhao family is doing for themselves.

"Dismount?" Lu Peng thought hatefully: "Look at who of us gives the horse to whom, the Zhao family, you don't know a classic saying, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, if you want to gain a foothold in Youzhou, your Zhao family will be my stepping stone." ”
