Zhang Xiang agreed to Yang Xu more out of consideration of the situation, no matter whether Yang Xu's surrender is sincere or false, let's save his life now! Other things will be discussed in the future.

"Strategist, since you are taking refuge with others, you must have thought of a way out in advance! It's up to you to lead the way. Zhang Xiang patted Yang Xu's shoulder and said with a smile, not at all like the tense appearance just now.

Yang Xu: "This is natural, I have prepared a way out, lord, please." Zhang Xiang didn't expect Yang Xu's transformation to be so natural, and his face changed faster than turning a book, so Zhang Xiang couldn't adapt for a while.

Although Zhang Xiang still didn't trust Yang Xu in his heart, he was in a hurry to obey the power, so he had to believe him this time, Yang Xu was still very stable, and he took Zhang Xiang and the others out of danger safely.

"People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, although I don't dare to agree with the original approach of the military advisor, I can't say anything, but the military advisor, you did this to help Lang Sheng get the county seat of Shangquyang, is it not good for you and me in the future!" After Zhang Xiang finished speaking, he handed Yang Xu a handful of dates.

Yang Xu took the jujube, "No, lord, how can I be big?" Lang Sheng is just a reckless man, his current power seems to be very large, in fact, there are many factions in the force, if I hadn't adjusted it before, Lang Sheng's troops would have dispersed a long time ago, plus not long ago he used tough means to win the Tang Wu tribe, his power will be even more chaotic, I believe that Lang Sheng will die soon. ”

Zhang Xiang felt that he really had to ask this mouth, so he saw Yang Xu's means once, "I didn't expect the military advisor to think so thoughtfully, it's really amazing, it's really a blessing in life for me to get the help of the military advisor." Zhang Xiang said a few polite words and left.

The Xiangfei army lost more than half of the battle in Shangquyang, and there were only more than 700 people left, although there were 2,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Xu to replenish them, but after all, these people were newly surrendered and could not be of great use.

Zhang Xiang was not at ease with these Yellow Turban soldiers who took refuge at first, but as he learned about it, he found out that these Yellow Turban soldiers were all children of the Liang family, and they were coerced by Lang Sheng to join the uprising, and they also hated the Yellow Turban thieves, and they also hated Yang Xu.

It seems that it was Yang Xu who led people to ruin their comfortable days, Zhang Xiang had to look at Yang Xu from a new perspective, if he really had any plans, he shouldn't give himself these soldiers, the more Zhang Xiang understood Yang Xu, the more he couldn't see through this person.

But fortunately, Zhang Xiang is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, so he simply doesn't want to think about it, he knows that as long as Yang Xu leaves Shangquyang and leaves Langsheng, it will be difficult even if he is thinking about making trouble.

So Zhang Xiang ordered the rebels to speed up the march, fortunately, many of the new soldiers were locals, and the route was very familiar, and they finally left Shangquyang after a few days of long travel.

Xiang Feijun stepped into the boundary of the southbound Tang, Zhang Xiang felt that the air was very humid as soon as he entered the southbound Tang, and did not feel the heat of summer at all, the southbound Tang can be said to be a county of water towns with the Shahe River in the east, and the Cihe River in the west, and there are Gao River, Qu River, Jianghe, Huanglonggang, Hungry Gong River, Kurgou River, Longmen Ditch, and Miaoling Ditch.

Maybe it's the land of water towns, the character of the people here is relatively mild, although there are some Yellow Turban Liukou here, but for Zhang Xiang and others, they have experienced the Great War in Quyang in Zhongshan Kingdom, and these Liukou are really trivial.

Most of the soldiers in Xiangfei's army are now new soldiers, and they also need to rest, and the southbound Tang is the best place, so Zhang Xiang decided to rest here for a while, and the soldiers cheered after the news spread.

The newly recruited soldiers looked at these veterans very strangely, but Zhang Xiang understood very well that these subordinates who had followed him all the way had come out of Youzhou for several months, and although they didn't say anything, their bodies were already exhausted.

Xiangfeijun is stationed near the Shahe River, of course, the land of the water town is going to eat fish, Wei Ran personally went into the water to catch a few fish for Zhang Xiang, now Wei Ran is not the young man in the fishing village, after many battles has become a hundred generals, a steel fork is a look.

Zhang Xiang drank the sweet fish soup, looked at the water in the river, and suddenly relaxed, and suddenly a few things flowed down from the river, but Zhang Xiang looked at it carefully but there were several corpses, which was really a little unappetizing.

These corpses were fished up by Hua Yiting, after all, it is a woman who is a little soft-hearted, and she pays attention to what to put into the soil for safety, of course, these things are not done by Hua Yiting herself, but she is followed by a group of wild bees and butterflies?

This thing can be done in a while, they dug a big pit, and when they were about to carry the corpse in, they were stopped by Zhang Xiang, because Zhang Xiang had a strange thing about these corpses were tied hands and feet, and there were calluses in the tiger's mouth, and they looked like a practicing family.

At this time, since it is not an official army, it is a thief, which means that there is a righteous army or an official army somewhere in the upper class, so Zhang Xiang sent the Ning brothers to check.

The Ning brothers also took refuge in Zhang Xiang in the past few days, which is also thanks to Yang Xu's credit, Zhang Xiang asked Yang Xu how he did it, but Yang Xu kept silent, and Zhang Xiang was not easy to ask.

After all, as long as the result is good, Zhang Xiang will not care what means Yang Xu used, it must be right to see the light, the Ning brothers have been walking around when they see Yang Xu since then, it is conceivable that these two brothers have experienced something bad.

The two brothers of Ning Feng and Ning Zhen are the fastest among Zhang Xiang's subordinates, and only the scout commander Pan Ying can compete with one or two, and after a while, the Ning brothers came to Zhang Xiang's side to resume their lives, "My lord, there are no official troops or righteous troops in the upper class, but there is a water bandit." ”

Zhang Xiang's face has become several layers thicker after this exercise, so he naturally won't be embarrassed because he guessed wrong, "That's it!" How many people are there in that bandit? ”

Ning Feng: "The specifics are not very clear, but judging from the number of ships, there are only five or six hundred people at most. When Zhang Xiang heard that there were only five or six hundred people, he didn't care, so he sent Zhang Fei to deal with these bandits.

But in the evening, Zhang Fei came back with a disgraced face, and at a glance, he knew that he had lost the battle, "Third brother, these water bandits are very cunning, they all ran into the water if they couldn't fight, and I burned their thieves' den in a fit of anger." ”

Zhang Xiang: "That is, you haven't solved this gang of bandits yet, wait until you just said that you burned the thieves' den, big brother, you are not mistaken!" You don't keep the ready-made camp, you really want to sleep by the river! ”

Zhang Fei then realized that he had done something wrong, "That third brother is also very cool by the river." Zhang Xiang looked at Zhang Fei and smiled, in fact, Zhang Xiang was not really angry, he didn't take these bandits seriously, just escape.

At night, when Zhang Xiang went to sleep, he finally knew the consequences of provoking this gang of water bandits, who were beating gongs and drums outside the Xiangfei Army camp in the middle of the night, Zhang Xiang really didn't sleep at all!

In the following days, the water bandits were all like this, Zhang Xiang's righteous army fled like water once they counterattacked, Zhang Fei and other generals were also anxious with these water bandits, and they would not give up if they did not catch these water bandits.

In fact, Zhang Xiang still thought that I couldn't provoke and couldn't hide, but as soon as I saw my subordinates like this, I dispelled this idea, so Zhang Xiang slept with his ears plugged every night.

Those generals led by Zhang Fei who fought chicken blood slept during the day, and it seemed that they were ready for long-term battles, Zhang Xiang originally planned to let the soldiers rest well, but he didn't expect that after a few days, he became more and more tired.

This is contrary to Zhang Xiang's original idea, just when Zhang Xiang was about to stop it, Yang Xu found Zhang Xiang, "The lord is not right!" I can't stay by the river anymore, the water level of the Shahe River is dropping, and these water bandits seem to have intercepted the upper reaches to attack with water. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiang immediately came to the river, and found that the river was already clear, and the water level had really dropped a lot, and Zhang Xiang had to admit that he was really negligent.

If Yang Xu hadn't found out in time, the consequences would have been really unimaginable, it turned out that Zhang Xiang didn't want to compete with these bandits, but this time these bandits really angered Zhang Xiang, he didn't expect these bandits to be so ruthless.

Zhang Xiang woke up the sleeping generals, although the generals didn't know what was going on, but looking at Zhang Xiang's expression, they knew that something was wrong, and after a while, Ning Feng entered the camp tent, "Lord, there is indeed a stream of water bandits stationed in the upper reaches to block the flow of water. ”

"This time, thanks to the reminder of the military advisor, otherwise we will be planted in the hands of this gang of water bandits this time, it will be really embarrassing at that time, Zhang Feilong went to Lu to kill the upper class of the water bandits, this time I am not allowed to take people there, but I want to see the head of the bandit."

After Zhang Fei and the three left, Yang Xu: "Isn't it a little too risky, the three of Long Ben seem to be the generals in the main army." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Don't worry about this, although we can't do anything about these bandits these days, at least we have found out the number of bandits, there are only more than 200 people, and there are more people who have gone and run away, with the ability of my eldest brother and the three of them, there is no problem." ”

When Zhang Xiang said more than two hundred people, Ning Feng also turned his head as if it had nothing to do with him, and Ning Feng's performance was seen by the generals and caused laughter, and the original serious anger disappeared all of a sudden.

In fact, Zhang Xiang was not inactive, he secretly sent Pan Ying to help, if Zhang Fei and the others really encountered any danger, they could bring the three of them back with the ability of their scouts.

Zhang Xiang actually gradually believed in Yang Xu through getting along these days, but with Yang Xu's character, he might vote for him one day, so Zhang Xiang would keep a hand on him in everything like just now.

Just two hours later, Zhang Fei and the three of them returned to the big tent, and there was still a person in their hands, "Third brother, this person is the leader of this gang of bandits, and he can pee his pants?" The leader of the bandits fainted when he saw this posture.
