After the Pingyang Rebels incident, Xu Wei immediately announced several countermeasures. The first is to properly settle the soldiers of the rebel army who entered Dingrong. Secondly, Yang Yan and Ma Tai were ordered to assemble troops in Yuxiang County, which was close to Hezhong Province. After finishing these two things, he went to Huazhou. Unlike this time, he brought a team of people and asked Du Feihu to accompany him.

When they arrived at the entrance to the city, the soldier guarding the city gate saw Xu Zhijun rushing over with so many men and horses. I don't know if I got an order or what, I immediately blocked the city gate and strictly forbade Xu Wei to enter. While the soldiers were pushing and confronting each other, Xu Wei stepped forward and asked loudly, "What do you have to do to block the city gate?" ”

Still turned back to the house, stared at Xu Wei and said in a stiff tone: "If Xu Zhijun wants to enter the city, please ride alone, and all the guards will stay outside the city." As soon as he said this, the officers and soldiers of Hujie immediately exploded the pot and shouted and cursed. The guards at the city gate did not give an inch, and the spears and swords were flattened in unison, aiming at Xu Wei and the others.

"Presumptuous!" Du Feihu shouted, "What do you think of my Tiger Warrior!" Still not allowed to enter the city? ”

Instead of retreating, the defender forced a step, resting his right hand on the hilt of his sword. Xu Wei was furious! Suddenly, a horsewhip was whipped, snapped, crisp and loud, and suddenly there was an extra purple whip mark on the other party's face! Before he came back to his senses, Xu Wei clamped his legs and rushed into the city. The subordinates behind him were shouting and drinking, and they all rushed in. The last time I came, I remembered the doorway, and went straight to Shuaifu at the moment. The guards of the city had obviously reported the news a long time ago, and the front of the Shuai's Mansion was heavily guarded and ready for battle. More than 50 horsemen rushed to the front, and Xu Wei and Du Feihu got off their horses, and after just two steps, the guards of the Shuai Mansion blocked the way with their bodies as a wall.

"Dingrong Zhijun Xu Wei, ask to see Marshal Qu." Xu Wei stood in front of the Shuai Mansion with a golden knife and said loudly.

"The handsome is not here! Please Xu Zhijun go back! An officer swept Xu Wei's subordinates and said in a deep voice.

Xu Wei sneered: "Such a coincidence? I'm not there? Then dare to ask where the big handsome has gone? ”

Before the officer could answer, he saw a person rushing out of the Shuaifu, it was Kang Sui, who had arrived in Dingrong a few days ago to inform Xu Wei, and the official was under the jurisdiction of the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses of Huazhou. When he left the Shuai's mansion, his face changed slightly when he saw Xu Wei with so many people. Then he stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Humble Kangsui, I have seen Xu Zhijun, please take a step to speak." ”

Xu Wei watched for a long time and moved to the side of the street, Kang Sui hurriedly followed, and whispered, "What is this for Zhijun?" ”

Xu Wei stared at each other with blank eyes, and said with a smile: "You know in your heart, the Pingyang Rebels were attacked in the river, don't tell me that you don't know." ”

"I really don't know, is there really such a thing? Otherwise, when the marshal returns home, I will ask for ......" Kang Sui still had a smile on his face, a sincere look.

The other party is just a subordinate of Qu Duan, and he can't say anything to him, Xu Wei said: "It's useless to talk more, I'll just ask, do you see the handsome?" ”

Kang Sui was about to answer, but Xu Wei knocked the other party on the shoulder with a horsewhip: "Think clearly before answering, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”

The Purple Gold Tiger is menacing, and this matter cannot be covered up. Let's go, which clove of garlic is it, don't talk too much, and quickly send Xu Jiu away according to the meaning of the above. After making up his mind, Kang Suiyi smiled and said, "Dashuai is indeed not here." ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he made a mistake and nodded: "It's good to have your words!" Tell Qu Dashuai that the Pingyang rebels were attacked within the boundaries of Hezhong Province and suffered heavy casualties. Xu Wei, as the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, could not sit idly by. With that, he turned and strode on his horse.

Kang Sui's expression changed drastically, and he chased after him and called: "Xu Zhijun! Know the army! This matter ...... Xu Wei ignored him, and took his subordinates straight out of the city. Tang Sui stared at the backs of the group for a long time, rolled his eyes, smacked his mouth twice, turned around and went to the Shuai Mansion.

After the festival hall, through the meantime, after a while, I came to the flower hall. Qu Duan took the black yarn, took off his official clothes, and sat in the flower hall drinking tea in only a single shirt. Seeing Kang come in, he took a sip of tea foam and asked, "Gone?" ”

"Gone." Kang replied with a bow.

When Qu Duan heard the news, he smiled casually, held the tea bowl in one hand and the cup lid in the other, and said: "Xu Jiu is from a Hebei township soldier, so that's all he can do." After that, I took a sip of tea and tasted it carefully, only to feel that the aftertaste was long and very pleasant.

Kang Sui glanced up at him slightly, and said cautiously: "Can the handsome know that Xu Jiu is the cousin of the handsome Xu of Jingyuan?" ”

Qu Duan was angry for no reason, and buckled the teacup heavily: "So what? ”

"Xu Jiu's father, but Xu Tianfu, is now an official and a captain. In his early years, he was a general of the family, known as the first tiger of the Western Army, and there were many old departments in the five roads of Shaanxi. Now Yan Yan Zhang Dashuai used to be just a commander under Xu Zhang. Kang Sui whispered.

Qu Duan pulled the corners of his mouth, put the teacup on the table and sneered: "These old things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, Ben Shuai is not interested." Even if Xu Jiu's uncle is a privy envoy? This is Shaanxi, we are the Western Army! Li Gang can't control this matter, and neither can the Privy Council! ”

Seeing this, Kang Sui took a few steps forward, leaned around and said, "Listening to Xu Wei's meaning, it seems that he doesn't plan to have a battle of words. ”

This attracted Qu Duan's attention, and he sat up straight and asked, "Oh, what did he say?" ”

"Xu Wei said that as the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, he can't sit idly by." Kang Sui replied.

Qu Duan heard that he was gone, frowned, and said, "That's it?" Nothing to do? After Kang Sui shook his head, he thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" He's a milky boy who can't make waves. Tell Zhang Zhongyan that if you want to step up the reorganization and gain a firm foothold in Shaanxi, you must have a strong army in your hands! ”

The words were divided into two ends, and after Xu Wei took the conversation from Kang Sui, he hurried back to Dingrong non-stop. I didn't enter the city, I didn't eat lunch, and I went straight to Yuxiang. At that time, on the border of Yuxiang County near Hezhong Province, Yang Yan Matai was ordered to gather 3,000 troops, all infantry archers. They didn't know what was going on with the gathering of men, but they heard that something had happened to the Pingyang rebels, and that hundreds of them had fled to Dingrong. Some people say that it is a good deed done by the officers and soldiers of Hezhong Prefecture, but how is this possible? The official army fought the righteous army, didn't this the flood wash the Dragon King Temple, and their own people beat their own people?

On a flat ground, 3,000 soldiers sat on shields or in the grass, waiting for orders in the sun. Just after lunch, some soldiers were sleepy, so they simply stood up and didn't dare to take a nap. Xu Wei rode over dozens of horses, attracting the attention of the soldiers.

"Brother Jiu, Wu Jinqing arrived in the morning and is waiting for you." Yang Yan grabbed Xu Wei's reins and said.

Xu Wei got off the horse with a gloomy face, mumbled, and said casually: "Get something to eat." "When the three thousand soldiers saw that they were all commanding to rush over, their faces were gloomy and frightened, and they secretly thought that there was another battle? It's just, who will you hit this time? Li Zhi? Or Jurchen?

Wu Jie hurriedly stepped up to meet him, and after clasping his fists, he asked, "What did Shuai Si say?" ”

"Damn, I don't know it, Qu Dashuai is also closed, he is a three-year-old baby!" Xu Wei said in a deep voice. Wu Jie's face was uncertain when he heard this. There is a good chance that this matter has something to do with Shaanxi Hua Shuaisi, otherwise the people below would not have the courage. Qu Dashuai has overdone this, and the Hedong situation that our Hujie Township Army has fought down with great difficulty may make him do this and waste his previous efforts. However, this incident can be complained to Jingzhao Xuanfu Yamen, the Zhijun is gathering troops here, is it trying to use force?

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly caught up with Xu Wei and said quickly: "Zhijun, before the matter is clear, do you maintain restraint?" If our army rashly enters the Hezhong Mansion, it will be a slap in the face of the Marshal's Mansion. ”

Xu Wei turned around suddenly, patted his cheek and said, "Is his slap still light?" Knowing that Lao Tzu is the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, and knowing that the current situation in Hedong is what thousands of my brothers in exchange for their lives, they dare to do this! If I don't return the color, he will really be a soft pestle when I am a tiger and a swift army! ”

Wu Jie was so anxious that he was helpless, and persuaded: "But in the end, he is the commander of the road, as soon as we enter the army, will we be regarded as infighting, if this hat is buckled, can the army think about the consequences?" ”

Xu Wei didn't answer, just pointed his hand in one direction. Wu Jie took a look, what is it? I saw a big banner with the book "Hedong Recruitment". But after looking at it twice, he suddenly took a breath and said tentatively: "Before I knew that the army went to Huazhou, I expected that the Shuai Mansion would insist that I didn't know, right?" ”

A smile flashed on Xu Wei's face, and it happened that the soldier brought a pot of steamed buns, as well as broth, beef and mutton. Xu Wei sat down on the ground, grabbed a piece of bun with one hand, stuffed the mutton to the brim, and chewed on the broth. Wu Jie probably didn't eat lunch either, so he sat there and ate.

"Lord Zhijun!" Li Guan's skin was soaked with sweat, he ran over and shook off the sweat, and whispered: "I figured it out, just forty miles ahead, there is a Hubao Town, and there is a camp outside the town." The brothers did not dare to look closer, but when they asked the people of the town, they said that the officers and soldiers had escorted many people into the camp a few days ago. ”

Xu Wei didn't say a word, choked on the last piece of meat, and after pouring half a bowl of soup, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked around and said, "Brothers! The river province is out of rebellion! Dare to attack the Binh Duong rebels in broad daylight! Let's go pack up the bunch! Come back in the evening, add vegetables and enjoy the wine! ”

"Good! Good! Good! When the soldier heard that he had added food and wine in the evening, he immediately rejoiced. Some of them seem to smell the aroma of wine and swallow their saliva.

Xu Wei wiped his mouth and shouted: "Xu Cheng! ”

"Humble duty!" Xu Cheng was fully armored, with a black tassel sprinkled on his helmet, and a mace in his hand, and he rushed over in all directions.

"Hold the flag!" After Xu Wei finished speaking, he didn't delay any longer, stepped on the war horse and led the soldiers to the north. Behind him, there was a loud sound, and three thousand soldiers ran forward to kill Hubao Town!
