"Who's coming? Why? ”

Although more than 100 heroic rangers came, due to the small number of people, Xiang Liao, who was the Sima of other departments, was not afraid and led 500 soldiers to meet him. Immediately raised the knife in person, stood in front of the battle, and shouted and asked.

At first, a white horse ran with a chic and calm attitude, like a white dragon going to sea, and immediately sat a young Confucian in his early twenties a year, dressed in a coarse cloth green shirt, wrapped in a scarf, and his appearance was delicate.

While galloping on his horse, he shouted loudly: "The general is going to misunderstand, it's all his own family!" A certain is Yingchuan Xu Yuanzhi, summoned by His Royal Highness King Hongnong, and wants to go to the sour jujube. I heard that the Queen Mother Fengluan went north, so she came to rendezvous! ”

Xiang Liao didn't care what the person said, he ordered to shoot the position, in case the other party cheated and used the sprinting power of the war horse to kill him, and hit his own side by surprise, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"Everyone, stay for now!"

Xu Shu also understood the worries of the officers and soldiers, and whistled more than 100 zhang repeatedly, beckoning the rangers who followed behind him to rein in their horses.

Seeing Xu Shu treating him politely, Xiang Liao felt a little relieved, and said loudly: "Since the person who came claimed to have been summoned by King Hongnong, does he have a certificate?" ”

Xu Shu took out the letter left by Liu Wei last year from his arms, and said loudly: "There is a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness King Hongnong, please take it to the queen mother for the trouble of the general, I must know the handwriting." ”

The soldier stepped forward to take the letter from Xu Shu's hand, and then took it to the Empress Dowager He to identify the handwriting. After a while, he returned and said, "The Queen Mother said." This letter is indeed from the hand of His Royal Highness King Hongnong, please Mr. Xu Yuanzhi to speak in front of Fengluan! ”

Since Xu Shu killed last year, he has turned into a single blessing. Has been a ranger all over the place. In the late autumn of last year, he crossed the Yellow River with his companions, went north to the Taihang area, and encountered the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass on the return journey, so he could only go east to Qingzhou and return to Nanyang. Therefore, the appointment with Lou Gui was delayed, and it was more than a month later than before.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family.

In this turbulent world, whether it is martial arts or literature. Which one is not dreaming of gaining fame and fame, and worshipping the prime minister. Shelter your children. Xu Shu, who has been a ranger for many years, is naturally no exception.

After seeing Liu Wei's letter, Xu Shu was overjoyed, and listened to Lou Gui tell that King Hongnong was eager to seek talent, and even promised to teach him to the county guard in the future. Xu Shu was even more eager to put on his wings and go to Jiangdong to run.

In order to improve his image in the eyes of King Hongnong, Xu Shu did not go to the defection alone, but tried to contact the rangers' best friends from all over Jingchu and agreed to go to Jiangdong together. After going back and forth, it was delayed for more than half a month, and after Xu Shu had gathered more than 100 rangers, he learned that King Hongnong had led his army to the battlefield of Tiger Prison Pass.

The group then changed the route of going south to Soochow and decided to go north to sour dates. When he passed through Wancheng, he learned that the Empress Dowager He had just left the city, and Xu Shu was overjoyed. knew that if the Queen Mother and Tang Ji could be escorted to the Jiangdong Army camp safely, it would definitely be a great achievement, so he hurried over.

"Commoner Xu Shu. Meet the Queen Mother! ”

Coming to the front of Fengluan, Xu Shu was full of excitement and knelt down to pay respects. Finally met today's high-level figures, which means that from now on he will embark on the road to politics and say goodbye to the identity of a ranger completely.

saw that his son was very respectful to this person in the letter, and he saw that Xu Shu looked talented. And it was with more than 100 strong people who came to escort her, and Empress Dowager He was happy. praised Xu Shu, and finally said: "You directly serve the emperor and do your best!" My royal family will definitely not hesitate to reward and pay homage to the generals, no problem! ”

"Empress Dowager Xie brought it, and the common people swore to repay His Royal Highness King Hongnong's kindness! The people are most familiar with the road in this Nanyang area, and they are willing to guide the way. ”

With the encouragement of the Empress Dowager He, Xu Shu smiled and knelt down to thank him for his loyalty.

There were more than 100 rangers with strong martial arts to help protect the Queen Mother, and Yang Hong, the long history, was naturally overjoyed. After greeting Xu Shu, he decided to listen to Xu Shu's construction and take the trail to Xuchang, which could save about fifty miles. On the one hand, he sent an envoy to hurry north, informed Wei Yan, and agreed to meet in Wuyang County, north of Xuchang.

The trail was narrower, but the soil was soft and the path was very smooth, which increased the speed of the march.

A team of more than 1,000 people, surrounded by two carriages, walked for a day, and drove sixty miles north. After entering the territory of Bowang County, the sky gradually darkened, and Yang Hong ordered to set up camp and continue to the north tomorrow morning.

The night was unharmed.

After breakfast early in the morning, Yang Hong ordered to continue the march north, striving to meet the Jiangdong army that came to greet him as soon as possible, and hand over the two hot potatoes of He Hou and Tang Ji. In case you have a business trip on the road, you can't afford it.

Speaking of this Bowang County, it is very famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Kongming's first merit was won here. With a fire, the pines and cypresses on the Bowang slope were ignited, and the burning Xiahoudun 100,000 troops lost their armor and returned in defeat, which made Liu Bei and his generals happy and convinced, and opened the curtain of three points.

It's the end of March, and the pines and cypresses on both sides of the Bowangpo Post Road have become lush and green, and they are lined up in the wind on both sides of the road, as if someone is ambushing them.

Xiang Liao carried a copper knife in his hand, took the lead, and stared at the pines and cypresses on both sides of the road from time to time, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Why does Ben Sima vaguely feel that there are ambushes in the jungle? Hurry up and find out! ”

After receiving Xiang Liao's order, a Shi Chang waved his hand to his soldiers and led a small team to search in Songbai. As soon as the ten soldiers entered the pine and cypress bushes, they broke out one after another cries for help, as well as the fierce sound of gold and iron, and they were obviously ambushed, and no one survived.

"It's not good, there are ambushes, array!"

Xiang Liao was shocked, hurriedly waved his sword and commanded his soldiers to prepare for defense, and ordered the horn to be blown to warn the entire team.

"Kill me, capture Empress He and Tang Ji, the lord will have a heavy reward!"

With an order, four or five hundred soldiers dressed in black clothes and carrying long knives were instantly killed from behind the pine forests on both sides of the road, and they didn't know where they came from. But looking at the weapons in the other party's hands and strict military discipline, they are by no means ordinary bandits.

There was a fierce confrontation, and the combat effectiveness of this black-clothed army was so strong that Xiang Liao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

On the post road, there were more than 100 corpses of officers and soldiers, but the other party only suffered 17 or 8 casualties.

"Resist it for me, and die for the latter!"

Xiang Liao was furious, slapped his horse forward, and killed two retreating soldiers. Then he slapped his horse and danced his sword, and cut down the two black-clothed soldiers, which organized a decent resistance a little.

"Huang Gongzhi is here, eat me a whip!"

In the midst of the chaotic army, a general with a tiger's back and a vicissitudes of life came out of the black-clothed army, holding a tiger's head and two whips, the two horses intersected, and there was no one in the battle, hitting Xiang Liao's head, and immediately rolled off the horse, and died.

Xiang Liao died, and the old and weak remnants of Yuan Shu's army were suddenly frightened, and they no longer had the courage to resist, so they either disarmed and surrendered, or lost their weapons and fled backwards.

Yang Hong got the news and scolded Xu Shu angrily: "I fell for your traitorous plan, and I was led into this desperate situation by you, you tried to rob the queen mother, and you will be spurned by the world!" ”

"What did Lord Yang say?" Xu Shu defended innocently, "Shu led the team to take this road, also to shorten the journey, but unexpectedly, there were ambushes here." Since Xiang Sima died in battle, Xu Shu and the others must try their best to protect the Queen Mother and Tang Ji! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Shu drew his sword in his hand, summoned the ranger behind him and said: "Brothers, it was I, Xu Shu, who brought the officers and soldiers on this road, but I never thought that I would be ambushed in this Bowang Slope, and I couldn't say that I had to do my best to protect the Queen Mother and Tang Ji to break through!" ”

"Even if you fight for your life, you have to escort the Queen Mother to rush out!"

One hundred and ten rangers agreed in unison, each drew his sword and swung his sword, and followed Xu Shu forward to meet the black-clothed army.

A battle unfolded on the post road at Bowangpo, and the scattered officers and soldiers were assisted by a hundred and ten rangers, and the situation improved slightly, although they were still at a disadvantage, but they were no longer as vulnerable as they had been at the beginning.

Xu Shu swung his sword and fought hard, but his swordsmanship could only be regarded as sparse, and he did not have the prestige of killing all sides at all, and he could barely assassinate one or two ordinary officers and soldiers.

"A certain Han Yigong, eat my spear!"

A general dressed as a leader rode a horse in front of Xu Shu, and with a muttering in his mouth, the spear stabbed Xu Shu as fast as lightning.

Xu Shu hurriedly swung his sword to block, only to hear a crisp sound, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the long sword was taken out of his hand. Xu Shu was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his horse away.

The purpose of this team is for Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji, and when they saw Xu Shu defeated, they did not chase after them. The military general brandished a spear and commanded the black-clothed army behind him to snatch the carriage forward, preparing to take Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji away.

"Hugh is going to frighten the Queen Mother, Yang Feng is here to escort her!"

At the critical juncture, a team of 2,000 people suddenly came from the east, although they were all dressed as thieves, but they were carrying the banner of the Han Dynasty and the banner of the word "Yang".

The team that came was the Baibo Army that originated in the Baibo Valley, and the leading Qu Shuai was called Yang Feng, although he was a thief, but he was extremely eager to be a loyal minister in his heart.

If it is according to the natural development of history, the later Yang Feng did also be a loyal minister for a few days, when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was chased by Li Dao and Guo Yan, he and Dong Cheng were both rescued in Huayin County, and also won the title of general of the chariot cavalry.

The scope of activity of the White Wave Army is generally in the area of Xiangfen, Hanoi, and Hedong north of the Yellow River, but why did Yang Feng's White Wave Army appear in the territory of Nanyang? There's a story to tell.
