After living in Shouchun City for nearly ten days, Yang Guang became deeply interested in the climate and scenes south of the Huai River and Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places, and gradually gave birth to the idea of going to Guangling privately.

However, when he revealed this idea to Zhang Heng and asked for his opinion, he was strongly opposed.

"Lord, the situation is very different from when the prince went out of the town and merged with the state eight years ago, the prince is the generalissimo of the three-way war Chen's soldiers and horses, and his safety is related to the success or failure of the Chen. And Huainan and Kandong, Hebei and different, the previous time the prince of the micro service private line, the place passed through the territory of the Great Sui, and now the Nan Chen army has retreated to the riverside, but according to the official to the prince to understand, he still often sent troops to harass the people of Jiangbei, it can be said that the current Jianghuai between the enemy and us to occupy the territory is still in a staggered situation, the prince must not be cautious. ”

Zhang Hengyi put forward a clear objection, and Duan Da, Li Hun and other hussar battalion generals echoed and put forward their own objections.

Yang Guang saw that everyone in his entourage was clearly opposed to his micro-service private line, so he had to pretend to accept everyone's suggestions, and no longer insisted on the micro-service private line and rushed to Guangling, but within two days, he proposed to Wang Shao to take a boat to inspect Nanchen's defense line along the river, so as to have a clear idea of the deployment of the war against Chen.

Wang Shao tried to persuade him repeatedly, but he still couldn't convince Yang Guang, so he had to reluctantly agree to his request. Considering that the generals of the hussar battalion who came with Yang Guangnan were all northerners and did not practice water warfare, Wang Shao specially sent a naval army general to Yang Guang to protect and accompany Yang Guang to inspect the river by boat, and rush to Guangling to meet Gao Ying and others by water.

According to Wang Shao's arrangement, Zhang Heng, Duan Da and others were supposed to lead 500 hussars to escort Yang Guang to Guakoudu, Anzhou, along the river, and then Lai Hu'er, who was waiting here, led the navy to escort Yang Guang down the river by boat from the waterway to Guangling.

But Yang Guang had a micro-service in his heart, so he refused to go out of the city under the escort of five hundred hussars to Guakoudu to meet with Laihu'er, taking advantage of the day Zhang Heng was invited by Wang Shao to count the vacancies of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, carrying Duan Da, Li Hun and others, only Liu Fang and Xian Yuluo two guards, and falsely claimed to the sergeant guarding the gate that he wanted to go to the city for a casual stroll, and quietly rode out of the Xingtai Office, rode his horse and whipped up, and drove straight to the south gate of Shouchun.

Among the two guards, Liu Fang has always been serious about his actions, and saw that Yang Guangkou said that he wanted to take himself and Xian Yuluo to go shopping, but he went out of the gate of the Xingtai Bureau, and rushed to the south gate of the city, as if he was going out of the city, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Yang Guang hurriedly retreated.

Liu Fang had no choice but to take the opportunity to go out of the city gate, and secretly ordered the defenders at the city gate to send a message to Wang Shao, asking him to personally dissuade Yang Guang from traveling without authorization.

In the first two days, Yang Guang had inquired in detail about the itinerary from Shouchun to Guakoudu in Anzhou to the officials of Huainan Dao, so he took Liu Fang and Xian Yuluo out of Shouchun City, without the slightest delay, and immediately followed the path inquired in advance and ran south.

Yang Guang rode out of the city and ran for a while, and when he turned around and saw that there were no chasing soldiers behind him, he relaxed the reins and slowed down the speed of stepping down the "iron hoof dragon", and rode on horseback without hurrying along the way, and from time to time he also accosted a few words with the pedestrians on the road and the farmers who were busy in the paddy fields on the roadside, and inquired about the local customs.

I walked like this for most of the day, watching the sky gradually darken, after inquiring with passers-by, I knew that the front was still seventy or eighty miles away from Anzhou City, and it was estimated that it would be three watches in the middle of the night at the earliest.

Yang Guang then ordered Xian to find a suitable place to live in the nearest village, and prepared to stay in the middle of the road for one night, and then calmly rush to Anzhou at dawn tomorrow.

But along the way, Yang Guang only cared about talking with the pedestrians and farmers he met on the road, interviewing the people, and he didn't know that when he found that the sky was about to get dark, the three of them had entered a deep mountain. When he looked around, he couldn't see any nearby homes to stay in, let alone villages.

"Lord Wang, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry as soon as possible, and strive to rush to Anzhou City tonight and then rest for the night." Liu Fang saw that the big trees on both sides of the road were towering and the wind was blowing, so he was really worried that something would happen on the road, so he was busy persuading Yang Guangdao.

Just as Yang Guang hesitated, he suddenly heard a loud whistle from someone in the dense forest on both sides of the road, and then saw twenty or thirty strong men wearing dark soft armor and holding four-foot halberds rushing out of the dense forest, blocking the way.

"Xian Yu Luo, protect the master's family and retreat." Seeing that there were bandits robbing, Liu Fang immediately shouted at Xian Yuluo, pulled out his sword, and rushed towards the bandits in front.

"Acquaintances, quickly drop off your horse and the gold and silver you are carrying, and run for your life. Gentlemen don't kill civilians. The first bandit pointed at Liu Fang, who rushed up with the halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly.

Liu Fang didn't answer, and rushed forward at a gallop, believing that the head of the bandit was a sword.

The leading bandits hurriedly raised their halberds, and Liu Fang did not wait for the opponent's halberd to touch the sword in his hand, that is, he changed the split into a sweep, and the sword went sideways and swept towards the opponent's waist.

Yan Zhao is a heroic warrior who learns martial arts, Liu Fang and Luo Yi are the Hebei warriors selected by ten thousand, if they fight alone, how can the robbers led by this be his opponent.

The two fought head-on for only one round, and the robber led by him was swept by Liu Fang's sword on his waist, and his huge body flew out horizontally and smashed heavily on the ground.

"Brothers, let's go together!" Seeing that their leader was swept to the ground by Liu Fang's sword, the other robbers rushed up with shouts and short halberds, surrounding Liu Fang in the middle.

Yang Guang also recovered his composure from the panic when he first met the bandits, opened his eyes and looked around in the dense forest beside the road, and saw no more robbers rushing out of the forest, so he put his mind at ease, stretched out his hand and drew the sword at his waist, and shouted to Xian Yuluo: "Rush up with me and destroy them." ”

Xian Yuluo didn't have time to stop him, Yang Guang had already slapped his horse and swung his sword and rushed into the battle group.

In terms of fighting alone, although this group of robbers was far from Liu Fang's opponent, when twenty or thirty people formed a formation and surrounded Liu Fang, Liu Fang found that the other party was not as vulnerable as he imagined.

Although the halberds held by this group of people were only more than four feet long, which was not conducive to launching an attack on Liu Fang, who was riding on a war horse, the halberds in their hands could be used as a hidden weapon if necessary. After a long confrontation, Liu Fang discovered that each of the robbers was carrying a halberd on their backs, and it seemed that they were carrying no less than a halberd in the bag, besieging the enemy, and nearly half of the people formed a formation to surround the other party, and the other half of the people looked at the sky and threw the halberd at the enemy from time to time to injure the enemy, which made people unable to prevent it.

Yang Guang rushed forward from behind, and although he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and slashed down a robber with his sword, he was put into an encirclement by other robbers and surrounded by Liu Fang. At the same time, Liu Fang stepped off the war horse he was riding and let out a miserable neigh, was hit by a short halberd in the chest, and fell to the ground with a "plop" forward, throwing Liu Fang off the horse.
