Hubao Town is a small town under the rule of Linjin County, Hezhong Prefecture, with only more than 1,000 households. Last year, when there were robbers, most of them fled to the same state, and now some are coming back one after another. In the first few months, there was a detachment of officers and soldiers camped here for training, and there were not many troops, only a thousand people. But a few days ago, I don't know if it was a thief who recruited an in a certain place, and he was detained for thousands of years, and he also fell asleep in the grass at night, and there were still guards. Dare to run? Break your legs! Since yesterday, the people of the town found that those "thieves" had received equipment and began to practice. Anyway, there is not much difference between the soldiers and bandits, and the common people don't take it seriously.

When noon arrived, the sun was so poisonous that the leaves were sunburned. In the military camp outside Hubao Town, the sound of trumpets shook the sky, and there were about thousands of people, all shirtless, holding guns and sticks in their hands. At the head of the line, there was a man who looked like a leader, who was carefully examining the ground with a gun. But what is puzzling is that from time to time there are heavily armed soldiers patrolling around the team. In the ranks, there are also soldiers with horses and whips passing through them, and if they don't practice correctly, they will be rewarded with a whip. The soldier didn't cover his upper body, and there was a blood mark when he went down, and he didn't dare to cry out for pain, otherwise the second whip would come.

From the gate of the camp came a strong man, about thirty years old, dressed in a gray cloth straight jacket, with his chest and abdomen exposed, revealing his horizontal flesh. Thinking that it was a nap to wake up, this person yawned at the gate of the camp, stretched his waist again, and walked unhurriedly towards the drill team. When the sect leader saw it, he hugged his gun and stepped forward to salute and said, "Please correct the manager." ”

The person who was called the chief steward glanced at it a few times, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that there is a foundation, and it looks decent." ”

"Mr. Zhang, forgive me for talking too much. It doesn't seem appropriate for us to do this when we first arrived, right? The head whispered. At that time, they received an order that a thief had fled from Pingyang Mansion and demanded that they meet the enemy immediately. But when he arrived at Jishan, the other party sent someone to negotiate, claiming to be the rebel army of Pingyang Prefecture, and returning Zhu Ji as evidence. Mr. Zhang killed the incoming people with a knife, ordered an attack, and the rest were taken here and forcibly absorbed.

"What's wrong? Can Jingzhao manage it? Li Xuanfu's set didn't work in the army, and no one paid attention to him. Manager Zhang squinted his eyes and said indifferently.

When the sect leader heard this, he seemed to be relieved, but then his face was full of anxiety: "It is less than fifty miles south from this place, but it is the boundary of the Dingrong Army. That Zhijun's surname is Xu Mingwei Xingjiu, who is Xu Dashuai's cousin and the head of the righteous army, will he give up? ”

Manager Zhang sneered: "This is Shaanhua Road, Qu Dashuai sits in the first place!" Xu Wei also has to listen to Shuai Si's moderation! How dare he? I don't believe he came to bite my? After that, he suddenly said unhappily, "I said, where did you hear about these things?" ”

The head of the sect bowed and hurriedly said: "In the morning, a handful of birds were whipped, so they called there, saying that he was a subordinate of General Manager Xu, and sooner or later he would come to us for an explanation." ”

"Bah! Where is Xu Jiu? Why didn't I see it? Manager Zhang took a sip, his face full of disdain. But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the face of the sect leader in front of him was not right, and he saw that the other party looked to the south in a daze, so he turned away. I saw a big flag coming out at the foot of the mountain in front of me, and the flag was not very clear. After a while, I saw dozens of riders in front, and a crowd of people pressed over. When I got closer, I saw clearly the four big characters on the flag, "Hedong Recruitment".

Hedong recruitment? At the end of last year, the imperial court set up a Hedong envoy in Shaanxi, and Li Gang recruited the envoy by name, and Xu Wei was the deputy, in fact, Zijin Hu was in charge. So, is it really Xu Jiu here? What did he do? What is the intention of bringing such soldiers and horses?

The muscles at the corners of the manager's mouth naturally tugged, and he suddenly shouted, "Quick! Immediately sent someone Pegasus to inform my brother, saying that Xu Jiu had brought his soldiers and horses to Hubao Town, and asked him to come to help quickly! ”

As soon as the head of the sect left, Manager Zhang also woke up like a dream, stomped his feet, turned around and ran into the camp. Before Xu Wei arrived, a large number of soldiers poured out of the camp and blocked the camp gate with open swords and guns. Many people looked at the Hujie army a stone's throw away, and their faces were full of confusion. I saw thousands of people on the other side, all of them were clearly armored, marching in an orderly manner, and after an order was given, everyone stopped synchronously and never moved lightly. The sound of the collision of armor weapons just now was still in my ears, but at this time, it was like a wooden stake.

The officer on horseback at the front of the team jumped down, strode to the gate of the camp, and looked at the soldiers who were waiting in front of him as if they were nothing, and a military attache with a gloomy face and a thin face shouted forward: "Hedong recruits deputy envoy Xu Wei here!" Move! ”

Seeing that the officers and soldiers blocking the camp gate were unmoved, the military attache seemed to be expected, and with a move, hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the ranks in an instant, rushing forward, everyone opened their bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows were aimed at the officers and soldiers guarding the camp gate.

Xu Wei looked at all this expressionlessly, and when he saw the other soldier's involuntary retreat, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he strode forward with his hands behind his back and the swords and guns in front of him. In a panic, the officers and soldiers at the camp gate hurriedly withdrew their weapons and dodged a way. Yang Yan was on the left, Ma Tai was on the right, with a gun and an axe, escorting Xu Wei straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. Behind him, Hujie soldiers poured in like a tide and seized the barracks.

Before the Great Tent, the guards were tighter. Xu Wei was probably too lazy to talk nonsense, Ma Tai picked up his opening axe, didn't greet a single one, and swept away! Looking at his physique, it was terrifying enough, coupled with the heavy power of the axe, the acquaintance had already dodged away, and the remaining few uninteresting people still wanted to use weapons to block, but they were all swept to the ground.

Xu Wei stepped over these people and stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army. I saw that in the tent, two rows of military attachés stood left and right, both pressing the hilt of their swords. The first person was wearing only a piece of armor, and before he had time to tie his arms, he had a knife in his hand and stood there with a tiger's eye.

"Who is in charge of this camp?" Yang Yan raised his bladed gun and asked loudly.

"Zhang Zhongyan, the deputy head of the soldiers and horses of this official Hezhong Mansion, who are you waiting for, who dare to trespass on the important place of the military camp!" Mr. Zhang's voice was full of expression.

It was too hot, Xu Wei took the hood and threw it to Yang Yan, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said casually: "Xu Wei." ”

Zhang Zhongyan stared at him and asked loudly: "Zhijun is at ease, how did he get here?" And with so many soldiers and horses! ”

Xu Wei pointed at him, nodded and said, "That's a good question, I'll tell you why." When the words landed, dozens of soldiers rushed in from outside the tent, all holding spears, and the left and right sides filled the military tent. The sharp tip of the spear, right behind the officer in the tent.

Zhang Zhongyan gritted his teeth and raised the steel knife in his hand: "Xu Jiu!" Don't deceive people too much! Qu Dashuai can't spare you! ”

"Don't use the curved end to press me!" Xu Wei shouted! But after this flash of anger, he returned to normal, and chuckled, "I'm cleaning the door for Qu Dashuai." With that, his gaze swept over the military attachés, and finally fell on Zhang Zhongyan.

"A few days earlier, the Binh Duong rebels had been attacked by Li's army, and some of them had withdrawn into Hazhong Province and were attacked at the foot of Ji Mountain. Does anyone want to explain? Xu Wei asked.

The tent was silent, Xu Wei saw this, nodded and said, "Okay, don't explain, don't explain." This official has been to the Huazhou Marshal's Mansion today, and it has been confirmed that the Shuai Si does not know about this. That means you foodies did this behind your back. Tell me, what should we do about this? ”

The captured prisoners of the rebels are now outside the barracks, and this matter must not be denied. But Xu Jiu is not good, and the fire is definitely not good, first, he can't beat it, and secondly, he has to take responsibility, so he can only mess around with him and delay time. He made up his mind and said loudly: "At that time, our army received a report that thieves came from Pingyang Mansion to rob the village and harm the people. The commander of the soldiers and horses immediately ordered to meet the enemy, but only later did he know that there was a misunderstanding. ”

Xu Wei laughed when he heard this: "Misunderstanding? I am the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, and if you misunderstand, you will kill and arrest the Pingyang Righteous Army. Do you believe it or not, as soon as Lao Tzu misunderstood, he treated you as a rebel army and corrected the law on the spot? ”

Zhang Zhongyan knew that he was bragging, and snorted: "You can't scare me, you don't have that power!" ”

Xu Wei didn't say anything more to him, turned his head and drank: "Left and right!" ”

"In!" The sergeant roared in response!

"The deputy head of the soldiers and horses of Chahezhong Mansion, hey, what is your name Zhang? That's it, Zhang, with ill intentions, ambushed the rebels of Pingyang Mansion under Jishan, causing great casualties! This move, which is of a bad nature, directly undermines the situation of Hedong's anti-gold resistance! Zhang's crime is extremely heinous, and not killing is not enough to clean up military discipline! Immediately tied up outside the tent and beheaded for public display! As soon as Xu Wei finished speaking, the soldiers moved when they heard the sound and rushed forward to arrest Zhang Zhongyan.

The military attachés in the tent and the river are all disgraced! Zhang Zhongyan's face was even more like ashes, and he slashed a few times to force away the Hujie soldiers in front of him, and shouted hysterically: "Xu Jiu! Don't deceive people too much! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, grandpa was ordered by Qu Dashuai! ”

Xu Wei ripped open his collar to let in the air, glanced at him and said with a smile: "The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, right?" Dare to slander the handsome ministers? This official can't tolerate you! Tied up! ”

Zhang Zhongyan was in a hurry, and used his means, taking advantage of the situation to open a gun in front of him, and knocking down a tiger soldier from bottom to top. Yang Yan roared, stepped forward with a gun, slapped the steel knife in the opponent's hand with the first shot, and slapped it directly to the ground with the second shot. The soldiers rushed up and tied Zhang Zhongyan's hands in a ball. The military attachés in the river under the tent just wanted to help, and they also had to consider how many guns there were behind them.

"Passing on my order, the garrison in the river ambushed the Pingyang rebels and conspired to sabotage the anti-Jin situation, which is really a heinous crime. However, the law is not to blame the public, and the official now only takes the first evil, threatens not to ask, and let the Hezhong army outside lay down their arms, otherwise they will all be punished as chaos! Oh, tell them that Zhang has already surrendered. After Xu Wei's order was issued, Du Feihu immediately went out to execute. Zhang Zhongyan's subordinates only had a thousand people, and they were rushed in and occupied the barracks by the Hujie army three times their size, and they were at a loss, and when they heard that even General Manager Zhang was captured, they all laid down their weapons, and they were disarmed one by one.
