Chapter 261: Limelight: Hou Cheng

Here is Jin Liang and others who kill the gods, and there is a trapped camp blocking the pontoon bridge and not crossing the river, and the embarrassed Xiliang cavalry found that there were at least two roads in front of them in addition to the dead end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are many Xiliang soldiers who have only joined the Xiliang army in recent months, most of them are soldiers in Chang'an and Luoyang, and they do not have much loyalty to Dong Zhuo, and some even hate the Xiliang army that ravages Luoyang, and they know that Jin Liang's central army is well treated, so they dismount and surrender one after another.

Some Xiliang cavalry have been following Dong Zhuo for several years, they are under the connivance of Dong Zhuo, burning and looting everywhere, full of evil, knowing that after joining the Jinliang Central Army, they will also be turned over the old accounts and killed, naturally unwilling to surrender Jinliang, under the leadership of Yan Xing and other generals, more than 3,000 Xiliang cavalry fled to Bishui, they rode their horses across Bishui, and their luck was almost washed away by the turbulent river, and the lucky ones were like Yan Xing with the help of the snow-treading black horse successfully crossed the Bishui, and fled to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Xu Rong also wanted to follow Yan Xing to escape to the Tiger Prison Pass, but his horses couldn't do it, and he was always taken to the pontoon bridge by the rushing water, and was caught by the soldiers of the trapped camp, Gao Shun escorted Xu Rong to Jin Liang.

Jin Liang sat on the red rabbit horse and looked down at Xu Rong: "Are you convinced now?!" ”

Xu Rong's face turned pale by the cold water of February, and he coughed suddenly: "Wen Hou is the god of war, and I, Xu Rong, bow down!" ”

Jin Liang laughed loudly and said, "Then are you willing to surrender me?!" Xu Rong bowed his head and was silent.

"Wait a few days and see what Dong Zhuo does with your family, and you will be dead to Dong Zhuo!" Jin Liang shouted loudly: Come on, lock him up and keep him under strict supervision! ”

Jin Liang continued to lead Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other fierce generals, and continued to pursue Yan Xing and other Xiliang routs. ”

Jin Liang looked around at the dense forest here, extending from the west bank of Bishui to the Tiger Prison Pass, which stretched for more than ten miles, which was a wild mountain forest on a high hill, very lush, and such a long defense line was estimated to be impossible for Xiliang people and horses. When the Xiliang army ambushed the coalition army of the princes of the Kwantung family just now, I am afraid that many allied troops will flee into this dense forest, just like Wu Anguo.

Jin Liang asked, "General Wu, have you ever encountered any allied generals who fled to this mountain forest?" ”

Wu Anguo said: "Back to Wenhou, the last general just saw two scholars, their soldiers were killed by the Xiliang sword soldiers, they were also about to be killed by the Xiliang soldiers, and they were caught up by the last general, saving their lives, they are resting in a dense forest." The last general came out to inquire about the news, and happened to meet Yan Xing's dog thief, but fortunately Wen Hou rescued him, otherwise the last general would have died under the spear of Yan Xing's dog thief. ”

Jin Liang frowned: "What are their surnames called?" ”

"The older ones are surnamed Chen, and the younger ones are surnamed Ren. They seem to be Chen Liutai's advisers under Zhang Miao," Wu Anguo scratched his head. He was embarrassed and said, "The last general has forgotten their names, only their surnames." ”

Jin Liang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is the older one called Chen Gong, with stiff eyebrows and not smiling, and the younger one is called Ren Jun, with sparse eyebrows and a lovely smile?!" ”

Wu Anguo said with a smile: "It turns out that Wen Hou knows them, and the last general will take you to find them." ”

Jin Liang smiled and said, "Then General Lao Wu will lead the way in front!" ”

Zhao Yun was surprised to see that Jin Liang was no longer chasing Yan Xing but going to see the two scribes, and hurriedly asked, "Lord, why don't you let the last general go after and kill Yan Xing?" ”

Jin Liang glanced into the distance, Yan Xing had already run away without a trace on the snow treading black horse.

The reason why Jin Liang didn't chase and kill Yan Xing immediately just now, but stopped chatting with Wu Anguo was because he couldn't kill Yan Xing, which was a very strange feeling, a little sympathy, and even more expectation, because Yan Xing had replaced himself in history and became Dong Zhuo's righteousness.

Yan Xing's character in history is not very good, just slightly better than Jin Liang, but not much better, in Yan Xing, Jin Liang can actually see his own shadow.

Jin Liang suddenly felt that keeping Yan Xing might be beneficial and harmless to eliminate Dong Zhuo in the future, Jin Liang was looking forward to Yan Xing being able to do something, because of these inexplicable things, Jin Liang decided to let Yan Xing live at the moment, otherwise, with the speed of Jin Liang's red rabbit horse, Yan Xing would be sleepy and lacking in horses, and he would catch up and solve him after a while.

Jin Liang smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Yan Xing is just a brave and unscrupulous horseman, it is not worth mentioning, but it will help us to recruit Xu Rong." I hope that Yan Xing can escape back to Luoyang to manipulate Xu Rong's rights and wrongs in front of Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo is angry and beheads Xu Rong, we don't need to try to persuade him, Xu Rong will naturally take refuge in us. ”

Dian Wei on the side was very unconvinced: "Then Xu Rong is just a defeated general under the lord, why should the lord be so concerned about him?!" ”

Jin Liang laughed and said: "Just because he can lead the troops to defeat Wang Kuang, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Yuan Shao and others, you can see that he is a general." Evil, he may lead hundreds of people to fight, he is not as good as you, but thousands of soldiers and horses against each other, you will definitely not be able to beat him. He is proficient in the art of war and good at using soldiers, and there are no more than eight leaders in our Central Army who are better than him. ”

Jin Liang, under the leadership of Wu Anguo, came to the depths of the dense forest, sure enough, it was Chen Gong and Ren Jun, they were sitting on the ground resting, with a bunch of dead corpses around them, and they were also stained with a lot of blood, many of them were from Xiliang soldiers, and it is estimated that some of them were shed, because they were pale, obviously caused by excessive blood loss.

Chen Gong and Ren Jun heard the sound of horses' hooves, hurriedly clenched the sword, jumped up from the ground, they fixed their eyes and saw that the fiery red red rabbit was sitting upright Jin Liang Jin Xianting, Chen Gong and Ren Jun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, dropped the sword, bowed down and said, "Meet Your Excellency Wenhou." ”

Jin Liang turned over and dismounted, and helped Chen Gong and Ren Jun up: "Our Central Army has defeated the Xiliang Army, Xu Rong has been captured by me, and Zhang Taishou is safe and sound, so you two will return to Xingyang City with me." ”

Chen Gong and Ren Jun couldn't help but show a look of shame on their faces, Jin Liang Jin Xianting, who they were not optimistic about before, and they had refused, has now developed into such a force, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which had no choice but to be defeated by the Central Army built by Jin Liang, can see how powerful Jin Liang's Central Army is, I am afraid that it is not difficult to sweep the world, I am so wide-sighted, just because Jin Liang is too appalling and arrogant, I think Jin Liang is a big deception, Now it seems that Jin Liang is fully qualified to say such big things. It's just that it's hard to recover when it's covered with water, and I'm afraid it's hard to take it back if you say the past.

Chen Gong and Ren Jun defected to Zhang Miao for several months, and they always felt that Zhang Miao was one of the eight chefs of the party, fighting righteousness and squandering money, and was famous all over the world, and he could talk about masturbation with such a lord, but after this war against Dong, Zhang Miao sat down and talked about the problem of not understanding military affairs, and it was difficult to support such a lord to dominate the world, not to mention compared with Jin Liang, but compared with Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, Zhang Miao was extremely incompetent.

Chen Gong and Ren Jun were full of remorse, but they could only hurt themselves secretly.

Jin Liang noticed their gloomy expressions and chuckled: "A month ago, I have sent the general Qin Yi to lead 2,000 sailors across the ocean to the legendary South America in search of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, by the way, as well as peppers and peanuts. ”

Chen Gong and Ren Jun admired it so much, they originally thought that Jin Liang was fooling them, judging from some of Jin Liang's governance measures in the past five months, Jin Liang did know that there were potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers, and peanuts in South America, and Jin Liang really wanted to find these high-yield crops, so that the hungry and displaced people in the world could live and work in peace and contentment.

Chen Gong changed his previous unsmiling attitude and showed a warm smile: "Wen Hou, the two of us believe that General Qin Yi will definitely be able to find those five crops, so that our Han people can have enough food and clothing." ”

Jin Liang laughed loudly: "Do you really believe it? Don't you need to inspect the real thing? ”

Chen Gong heard that Jin Liang revealed his intention to recruit again, and his heart was very excited, Jin Liang is now full of talents, and he can still think of recruiting himself, it seems that Jin Liang really values himself, but he is now very trusted by Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses are nearly all lost, it is the most difficult time, if he leaves Zhang Miao now to join Jin Liang, it seems too unkind, Chen Gong thought of this, and said: "Zhang Tai is here, we just believe, and we can only be happy for the people of Jizhou." ”

Jin Liang originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, but seeing that the central soldiers were already very tired, and they also had to reorganize the Xiliang prisoners and the allied prisoners, and there were many aftermath matters of this war, so he temporarily canceled the tactical arrangement of continuing to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.

Jin Liang led thousands of elite horsemen of the Central Army to search around in the dense forest, and rescued thousands of allied deserters.

After leading 10,000 flying bear troops to rush to the aid of the Tiger Prison Pass, Guo Yan took Yan Xing's hundreds of defeated soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass, and was intimidated by the military prestige of the Jinliang Central Army, and could not go out.

Jin Liang set up camp in a place close to the Yellow River ten miles away from Hugao Pass, leaving Wei Yue and Yu Ban to lead two brigades with a total of 4,000 soldiers and 4,000 auxiliaries to guard Xingyang City, and Jin Liang allocated three brigades and 6,000 soldiers and 6,000 auxiliaries led by Zhao Yun and Xu Shu to sweep all the counties and towns between Xingyang and Hugao Pass.

All the rest of the horses gathered in the camp outside the Tiger Prison Pass, set up camp, counted the prisoners, reorganized the prisoners, counted the spoils, and distributed the spoils according to military merits, and were very busy.

Jin Liang was riding on the red rabbit horse, looking at the Tiger Prison Pass in the distance, and he was thinking about whether he should lay the Tiger Prison Pass.

At this moment, Gao Shun led a few soldiers and escorted a general who looked like a chicken in soup to Jin Liang's horse, and Jin Liang sent him down.

This person is in his early thirties, with a fat body and a particularly large belly, like a pregnant woman in June, with his eyes squeezed together with his face full of flesh, more and more like mung bean eyes, and the most impressive thing is that his face is red, especially his nose is even redder, and he can smell his wine when he gets closer.

Jin Liang couldn't help frowning: "Who are you, actually drinking in front of the two armies?!" ”

The man had a big mouth: "I am Hou Cheng, the general under Chen Liuzhang Taishou." ”

Hou Cheng?! Could it be that Hou Cheng in history who recaptured fifteen horses from the Hougou people, ignored Lu Bu's alcohol ban, made wine to celebrate privately, and held a grudge after being beaten by Jin Liang, and then stole the red rabbit horse to surrender to Cao Cao and betray Lu Bu? !

"Hou Cheng, a military general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was one of the eight generals of Lu Bu's department, Lu Bu was injured by wine, so he was banned from drinking, Hou Cheng didn't know, and he was beaten by Lu Bu by Lu Bu. Cao Cao surrounded Pi, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others bound Chen Gong and Gao Shun, and led the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao.

At the beginning, Hou Cheng, the general of the cloth cavalry, sent 15 horses to herd horses, and the guests drove the horses to Peicheng to return to Liu Bei. Cheng Zi will ride away, and know that the horse will be returned. The generals congratulated each other together, brewed five or six wines, hunted more than ten pigs, did not eat, first held half a pig and five buckets of wine from the front of the cloth, kneeling and saying: "Between the general's grace, chase the lost horses, all the future congratulations, brew less wine, hunt pigs, do not dare to eat, first offer a slight meaning." Bu was furious and said: "Bu bans alcohol, Qing wines, all the generals eat and drink together as brothers, and murder Bu evil together?" Cheng was afraid and left, abandoned the wine, and returned the generals' courtesies. Because of self-doubt, Taizu surrounded Pi and led the crowd to surrender. - "Spring and Autumn in Kyushu"

At the circle of the formation, Lu Bu took the lead, and eight strong generals lined up on both sides: the first Yanmen Mayi person, surnamed Zhang, named Liao, and the word Wenyuan; The second Taishan Huayin person, surnamed Zang, famous tyrant, the word Xuangao. The two generals each introduced three strong generals: Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng. There were 50,000 troops, and the drums shook loudly. - "The Eleventh Uncle Liu Huang Beihai Rescues Kong Rong, Lu Wenhou, Puyang, and Cao Cao"

However, he said that Hou Cheng had fifteen horses, which were stolen by the Houchu people, and he wanted to sacrifice them to Xuande. Hou Cheng was conscious, chased and killed the Houchu people, and recaptured the horse; The generals congratulated Hou Cheng. Hou Cheng brewed five or six wines, and wanted to drink with the generals, fearing that Lu Bu would see the crime, so he first used five bottles of wine to Yibu Mansion, and said: "Tuo General Huwei, chase the lost horse." All the generals came to congratulate. I can make some wine, but I don't dare to drink it, so I will offer it first. Bu was furious and said: "I forbid alcohol, but you can drink wine, is it a conspiracy to attack me!" "Kill it. Song Xian, Wei Xu and other generals all entered to say mercy. Bu said: "Therefore, if you violate my order, you will be beheaded." Look at the crowd today, and hit a hundred! And the generals mourned, and beat fifty flowers, and then let them go. - "The Nineteenth Episode of Cao Cao's Soldiers in Picheng, the Death of Lu Bu in Baimenlou"

Song Xian and Wei Xu came to Hou Cheng's house to visit, and Hou Cheng cried and said: "If you are not public, I will die!" Xian said: "Bu only loves his wife and treats us like mustard." He continued: "Under the siege of the city, the water surrounds the edge of the trench, and we will die without a day!" Xian said: "Bu is unkind and unrighteous, I will abandon it, what is it?" He continued: "It's not a husband." It's better to capture the cloth and offer Cao Gong. Hou Cheng said: "I am blamed for chasing horses, and the one who the cloth relies on, the red rabbit horse." If you and the two of you can sacrifice the door and capture the cloth, I should steal the horse first to see Cao Gong. The three of them agreed. It was the night Hou Cheng who went to the horse yard in the dark, stole the red rabbit horse, and galloped to the east gate. —— "The Nineteenth Episode of Cao Cao's Soldiers in Picheng, Baimenlou Lu Bu Died"

Jin Liang sat on the red rabbit horse, frowned, looked down at Erwuzai Hou Cheng carefully, and found that there was a gourd hanging behind this guy. The mouth of the gourd is tightly plugged though. But it can't stop the refreshing aroma of wine inside.

Jin Liang raised the stone dragon broadsword and knocked it on Hou Cheng's head: "You are a general under Zhang Miao, why were you captured by our Central Army in the Xiliang Army?!" ”

Hou Cheng's little eyes turned quickly: "Back to Wenhou, the last general saw Xu Rong, and wanted to capture him and sacrifice him to Wen Hou, but the last general was greedy for merit, and rushed into the Xiliang army without paying attention, how did he expect that Xu Rong to cross the river on horseback." The last general also chased after him, who expected the river to be turbulent, and the last general was swept away by the river with Xu Rong, and the last general thought that his life was at stake. Who knew that he was rescued by General Gao. ”

Hou Cheng bowed to Gao Shun and saluted: "Thank you General Gao for saving your life!" ”

Another person may have believed Hou Cheng's words, but Jin Liang had historical prejudices against Hou Cheng, and seeing that this guy's eyes were very cunning and full of alcohol, he asked Gao Shun very suspiciously: "Zhongping, is Hou Cheng really chasing Xu Rongcai into the river?" ”

"Lord, this Hou Cheng is full of nonsense, can you listen to him," Gao Shun looked at the cheeky Hou Cheng with a look of disdain: "Hou Cheng, after the defeat of the allied princes, they retreated to the east bank, and I don't see you by Zhang Taishou's side." () I saw you in the Xiliang Army! ”

"Gao Shun, you are talking nonsense, spewing blood!" Hou Cheng looked at Gao Shun with an angry face: "I, Hou Cheng, am extremely loyal to Zhang Taishou, how can I surrender to Dong Thief!" There are a lot of people in the Xiliang Army who are as fat as me, and you have wronged me by the fucking mistake! ”

Gao Shun sneered: "It seems that Hou Cheng, you are very sure that no one will see you surrender to Dong Thief, then ask the prisoners of the Xiliang Army to recognize it!" ”

A scribe was pushed and shoved by two central sergeants and came to Jin Liangma, Jin Liang glanced at the scribe in front of him, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, since the three sluts who conspired with Wei Zhongdao to frame him, Li Fu, Hua Kai, and Xu Li, Jin Liang has never seen such an ugly person in this world.

I saw that this person had variegated hair wrapped in a green turban. Embedded with a piece of green jade, the thin and withered body is wrapped in a green silk robe, the skeleton-like face is full of green energy, a pair of mung bean eyes, and many whites. The eyes are less dark, and the garlic nose and nostrils are facing the sky.

Pang Tong?! According to the person's physical appearance. Jin Liang thought of the ugly name far louder than the famous phoenix Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, Pang Tong was called the phoenix, which means that the phoenix when he was a child, in time, will definitely soar in the nine heavens and sing in the clouds; Another meaning, phoenix, bird king, newborn birds, is always ugly.

Gao Shun pointed to the man and introduced to Jin Liang: "Lord, this person's surname is Wang Mingxing, he is the younger brother of the Taiyuan Wang family of the famous family, the nephew of the pseudo-Situ Wang Yun, who is a military leader in Xu Rongjun, and is known as an uncrowned scholar. ”

Jin Liang frowned: "I remember, Wang Yun's nephew's name is Wang Ling?!" ”

Wang Ling, the word Yanyun, in his early years and Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, Jia Kui and others befriended, in history Wang Yun was killed by Li Dao Guo Yan, Wang Ling fled back to Taiyuan, and later defected to Cao Cao, won Cao Wei's appreciation, and has been the general of the car and cavalry Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, because of dissatisfaction with Sima Yi's dictatorship, remembering the rebellion, first by Gao Gan's righteous brother Gao Rouyin, and then by Sima Yi lightly.

That Wang Xing, as a prisoner under the stairs, still didn't realize himself, and his nostrils were still facing the sky: "My Taiyuan Wang family is a century-old family, with deep roots and many younger brothers, in addition to Wang Ling, there are also my uncle Wang Gai, Wang Jing, Wang Ding, and Wang Chen, as well as my Wang Xing, all of whom are the elite of the Wang family!" ”

Jin Liang didn't have the slightest good impression of the Taiyuan Wang clan who produced Wang Yun, and when he saw that Wang Xing was arrogant and rude to himself, he couldn't help but be furious, and a halberd stabbed out, piercing one of Wang Xing's legs, Wang Xing fell to the ground, covering his bloody thighs, and wailed incessantly.

Jin Liang shouted murderously: "Let you say it, you can say it, otherwise I will kill you immediately!" ”

The crescent moon of the shining, murderous stone dragon broadsword rested on Wang Xing's neck, Wang Xing was so frightened that he forgot the pain, and nodded again and again like a chicken pecking at millet: "Wen Hou, please ask, I must know everything and say everything." ”

Jin Liang pointed at Hou Cheng: "Have you ever seen this person in your Xiliang Army?!" (To be continued.) )
