Chen Qun and Xu Shu both thought that the Ten Standing Servants and the others would launch an attack on Shaomu Mountain in January, but neither of them expected that the Ten Standing Attendants' men would not act until March.

After it got dark on March 9 in the third year of Zhonghe, tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people went out of the city from the east gate of Luoyang City.

Zhang Yan had already sent people to keep an eye on the four city gates of Luoyang for more than two months, so as soon as these people acted, Zhang Yan got the news and contacted Chen Qun in time: "Changwen, according to my report, in the evening, there are about fifty or sixty thousand people who go out of Luoyang City, you must be careful tonight." ”

Chen Qun nodded and said: "Thank you Gongwei, don't worry about it on my side, we have made sufficient preparations, you must be careful during this time, be careful that it is not good for you to be angry and angry." ”

Zhang Yan nodded: "I know, hang up." ”

At the same time, Jia Xu, who was in the broken temple in Luoyang Dongcheng, shook his head after listening to the report of his subordinates and said: "Zhang Rang and others are not enough to succeed, and only 50,000 people want to take Shaomu Mountain, does he think this is a sneak attack before?" They may not be able to break through the defense line of the 23,000 Danyang Guards on Shaomu Mountain, but it's a pity! ”

"My lord, shall we send someone to help them?" The beggar who came to report looked at Jia Xu when he heard this.

Jia Xu shook his head: "You go down first, I can't be the master of this matter, I have to ask the master before making a decision." ”

"Yes!"

After the beggars left, Jia Xu came to the statue placed in the middle of the broken temple, and after putting a stick of incense on the statue, he jumped up, came to the statue, bowed to the statue, and broke the little finger of the statue with his right hand.

After Jia Xu walked into the cave, he pressed a bulge on the wall next to him, and the idol above automatically reset, and at the same time, a row of horse lanterns lit up in the cave.

After Jia Xu walked along the tunnel for several miles, he came to the end of the hole, and then knocked three times on the baffle above the hole, and the baffle above was lifted, and Jia Xu jumped up from the hole.

Jia Xu jumped out of the hole and came to a brightly lit room.

"Wenhe, are you here to ask if you want to send the people of the White Horse Hall to help Zhang Rang and the others?" A middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the room asked softly after seeing Jia Xu.

Jia Xu hurriedly bowed to the middle-aged man: "Teacher, yes, Zhang Rang's move will definitely fail, and his subordinates don't want to lose so many people, so they intend to let the people of the White Horse Hall help them, so that the enemies on both sides of Shaomu Mountain will inevitably be broken." ”

The middle-aged man who was called his mentor by Jia Xu shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "No need for Wenhe, let Zhang Rang attack Shaomu Mountain is just to attract the attention of the world, not to really take Shaomu Mountain." Next, you just need to urge Zhang Rang and the others to persuade Emperor Ling to repair Nangong as soon as possible, and this matter must be done. As for the side of Shaomuro Mountain, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu hugged his fists again and said: "My subordinates have taken orders, but my teacher, letting Chen Qun continue to grow like this will be very unfavorable to us, and my subordinates are worried that once Chen Qun really grows up, even if the troubled times open, it will fulfill Chen Qun, and we are afraid that we will make a wedding dress for Chen Qun." ”

The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this: "Your worry is right, but now there is no need, the teacher has already sent your senior brothers Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai to assist Cao Cao."

Cao Cao still has the ability to do this, but Cao Cao has a fatal weakness, and this weakness will make him only a person we manipulate.

What you have to do now is to start the troubled times as soon as possible, hehe, once the troubled times are opened, we will let the people of the White Horse Hall help Cao Cao do things, Chen Qun is not worried, he can at most be in a corner of the troubled times, and then we will control the power, and then Chen Qun is dead, and then send someone to destroy his forces. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he didn't immediately obey his fate, but frowned and thought for a moment before contemplating and said: "Teacher, Cao Cao is a brave and resourceful person, and the family power behind him is not small. ”

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry!" You play Senior Brother and Senior Brother Xun, you will not let the teacher down, the teacher is also worried about this, so let the two of them go together to assist Cao Cao, you will first help the teacher to open the troubled times, and after the troubled times open, the teacher will see the situation, and you will also be asked to assist Cao Cao. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he bowed to the middle-aged man and hugged his fists and said, "The teacher is thoughtful, so it couldn't be better!" Teacher, why didn't you recruit Senior Brother Xu Shu back from Chen Qun's side? ”

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this: "Xu Shu is not our person, this kid is extremely intelligent, he only paid attention to martial arts before, and only focused on strategy in recent years. It's good that you have a rival who can push you to improve, otherwise it's too boring, and we focus on the process, not the result.

You also know that the Han Dynasty is now a big tumor, if we don't get rid of these tumors through the troubled times, then even if we control the regime, we will have a headache for this, just let Xu Shu go, for the teacher and trained a few junior disciples for you, these people are very intelligent, so you don't need to worry about Xu Shu. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu hugged his fist and saluted the middle-aged man: "It turns out that the teacher has already made plans, so the subordinates will rest assured, the teacher, if there is nothing else, the subordinates will retire." ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Go ahead!" Don't care about the results of the battle on the side of Shaomu Mountain, you must urge Zhang Rang and others to start the troubled times as soon as possible, the Han world must be chaotic within three years, otherwise, the teacher will be too disappointed in you. ”

"Students don't let their teachers down! Students quit! Jia Xu bowed to the middle-aged man again and turned to leave.

After Jia Xu left, the middle-aged man said to a child beside him: "Zhongda, seal the tunnel entrance, send someone to tell Jia Xu, come to me after the troubled times open, I will leave Luoyang and go to Yingchuan Academy, you continue to stay in Luoyang to practice what I taught you, don't be lazy, next time I come to Luoyang, I will test you, if you can't pass, you know the consequences." ”

"The nephew did not dare to live up to the high expectations of his uncle! Please rest assured that the nephew will study the knowledge taught by the uncle to the nephew and ensure that the uncle is satisfied. "The teenager who was middle-aged and became Zhongda hugged his fist to the middle-aged humane.

The middle-aged man didn't speak again, but stood up and walked out of the room. When the middle-aged man walked out of the room, ten shadows appeared from all sides of the room, and then ten shadows turned into ten young people and left after the middle-aged man.

The young man looked at the back of the middle-aged man and his entourage, and secretly decided in his heart that he must satisfy the middle-aged man, for his own future, and for the future of the Sima family.

The young man is Sima Yi, he knows very well in his heart that his younger brothers are very smart, so Sima Yi is under a lot of pressure, and he decided in his heart that he must take the initiative with the advantage of his age, and he must not let his younger brother replace him.

At the same time that Jia Xu ordered Baimatang to stand still, Gao Wang, one of the ten permanent attendants, also took 50,000 black-clothed men to speed up to Shaomu Mountain on horseback.

And Shaomu Mountain's side is also making full preparations for the war, and Shaomu Mountain is already fully prepared, so when Gao Wang led people to the foot of Shaomu Mountain, Chen Qun's side was already ready, waiting for Gao Wang's people to throw themselves into the net.

After everyone arrived, Gao Wang ordered the sword and shield soldiers to be in front, the archers to be behind, and the cloud ladder to follow, and launched an attack on Shaomuro Mountain along the mountain road of Shaomuro Mountain.

Gao Wang originally planned to divide his troops to attack Shaomuro Mountain from the rest of Shaomuro Mountain, but when he saw that Shaomuro Mountain was surrounded by towering city walls and archers, Gao Wang directly gave up his troops and chose to strengthen Shaomuro Mountain Castle from the front.

Gao Wang knew that it would be very difficult to attack Shaomu Mountain this time, and he knew that he had to pay a certain price to break through the mountain gate of Shaomu Mountain, but he didn't expect the price to be so great, when Gao Wang's army came to the gate of Shaomu Mountain, it had lost more than 20,000 people, and half of the combat strength was left.

Gao Wang looked at the dark mountains and forests around him and was a little frightened, because from time to time, a group of archers would come out of it and shoot at them from the side, and the bows and arrows were very powerful, causing great casualties to his men.

The archers who came out of the mountains and forests were the five thousand archers that Huang Zhong personally selected from Danyang Wei. Danyang Wei is already good at mountain warfare, walking in the mountains is like walking on flat ground, coupled with superb archery skills, it will bring such shocking results.

Gao Wang didn't know if there were any casualties on the other side, because they had never really taken over from the other side. Although he had already rushed to the gate of Shaomu Mountain, Gao Wang already wanted to withdraw his troops at this time.

Gao Wang thought of the promise he had given to Zhang Rang when he came, so he was ruthless and still gave the order to storm the mountain gate of Shaomu Mountain. With Gao Wang's order, the black-clad man rushed towards the gate of Shaomu Mountain, but they were greeted by more violent arrows.

Although the sky was dark, Gao Wang could still see the men in black who were besieging the city falling one by one.

An hour later, the sky was already dark, but the man in black still couldn't touch the head of Shaomu Mountain, and after losing half of his men again, there was only Gao Wang, who had less than one or three thousand subordinates, so he had to retreat.

When Gao Wang retreated down the mountain with the man in black, Chen Qun ordered five thousand Danyang Wei archers to chase and kill at the same time.

Gao Wang retreated, listening to the miserable screams from behind him, and wanted to cry without tears. After finally retreating to the foot of the mountain, Gao Wang immediately ordered everyone to evacuate on horseback, at this time there were only about 5,000 people left around Gao Wang, Gao Wang glanced at the horse, and was so frightened that he pulled out his horse and withdrew. However, what awaited them was the pursuit of the Mt. Shomuro archers, who had been trained for half a year.

After Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi rushed to the foot of Shaomu Mountain with their respective subordinates, Huang Zhong directly shouted: "The archers are pursuing with me. ”

After Huang Zhong finished shouting, he flew up and rode a horse to chase after him, and the archers also chose a horse to follow. Chen Zhi took Danyangwei and began to collect the remaining horses, which were more than 40,000 horses!

After Chen Qun took Dian Wei and Chen Jiawei to the bottom of the mountain, he saw that Danyang Wei was each holding two horses and said with a smile: "Zhang Rang is asking us to set up cavalry!" ”

Dian Wei sighed: "It's nothing if the cavalry is not cavalry, but it's a pity that these thousands of acres of fertile land are gone, and the villages under the mountain have also been ruined by Zhang Rang's people, it's really hateful!" ”

Chen Qun looked at Dian Wei's serious appearance and smiled slightly: "Yes! It's a pity that the grain is so expensive now, and the crops are growing so well this spring. Brother Dian, now that Cao Cao is developing in the Yanzhou area, you don't want to go back, stay in the mountain city to do things. ”

Dian Wei nodded when he heard this: "Okay!" It is indeed a wonderful thing to be able to live in a mountain town for a long time. In addition, your sister-in-law is pregnant, and Shancheng is indeed a good place to raise a baby. ”

Chen Qun looked at Dian Wei with a smile and said, "Okay! The crisis of the Ten Permanent Servants has been resolved! My sister-in-law can finally raise a baby with peace of mind. ”

Dian Wei nodded.

On the road from Shaomu Mountain to Luoyang City, Huang Zhong led the archers to chase the black-clothed man who fled in front of him, shooting while chasing.

Gao Wang fled and ordered people to intercept the pursuers behind him, and the five hundred people sent each time couldn't stop for long before they were caught up by Huang Zhong and others behind him. Gao Wang fled half the distance, and there were only 2,500 followers left behind him.

Gao Wang thought that if he wanted to live alive, he was afraid that a strong man would really break his wrist, and after thinking clearly, he said to the little eunuch beside him: "Xiao Lizi, you take everyone to intercept the pursuers behind you, you can go with confidence, I will help you take care of your family." ”

"My lord, the slave's family will leave it to my lord!" The eunuch known as Xiao Li Zi saluted Gao Wang with a fist and then stopped his horse, then raised his right hand and shouted, "Everyone obey the order, follow me to intercept the pursuers." ”

"Yes!" More than 2,500 black-clothed men heard the sound and stationed their horses in unison, and at the same time turned their horses' heads to face Huang Zhong and the others who were chasing, and Gao Wang behind them fled with only five followers.

Xiao Lizi is not only a eunuch, but also a eunuch with high martial arts, he looked back at Gao Wang, who had fled, and sneered: "If you want your master to block the knife for you, you want to be beautiful, and hand over my family to you, how can I rest assured?" Brothers, everyone knows the combat strength of the archers on the opposite side, and if we are left behind to block, we will definitely be sent to death.

So I decided to surrender, brothers who want to leave, go away, and those who want to stay will dismount with me and surrender, but the ugly words are ahead, you are not allowed to talk nonsense when you go back, just say that we are all dead in battle. ”

Huang Zhong saw that only six horsemen fled, and the rest of the people were all stationed on horseback, and also ordered the archers to stop, just as Huang Zhong was about to order the archers to charge, he saw a scene that puzzled him, only to see the two thousand five hundred horsemen on the opposite side all dismounted under the leadership of the first eunuch.

After Xiao Lizi dismounted with everyone, he knelt down in front of Huang Zhong in unison.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong waved his right hand, and all the archers quickly stepped forward to surround Xiao Lizi and the others.

Huang Zhong came to Xiao Lizi and frowned, "You are a eunuch?" ”

Xiao Lizi looked up at Huang Zhong and said, "Yes, general, the little one has been purified since he was a child, and he can't help himself when he becomes a eunuch." ”

Huang Zhong frowned when he heard this: "Who escaped just now?" ”

Xiao Lizi hugged his fists when he heard this: "It is Zhao Zhong, one of the ten permanent servants, he ordered me to lead people to intercept you, and I chose to surrender, I don't think we people can intercept you." ”

Huang Zhong laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha...... you are a very smart eunuch, I think you must know a lot of secrets of the palace, let's go, follow me back to the mountain city first." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Lizi got up and saluted Huang Zhong: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill." ”
