Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: "Liu Xin has four generals under him, Zhang He makes a gun, and Zhao Yun is a teenager, so he is also a gun." Dian Wei made a pair of big iron halberds, and there was one, a general Xu Huang, who made a big axe. None of them made a broadsword. After Zhang Ning finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not Xu Huang, otherwise this feud would have been even bigger.

Guan Hai said: "At the entrance of the village, there were two generals who made the gun to fight with me, presumably Zhang He and Zhao Yun, could it be Liu Xin himself who made the knife?" ”

Zhang Ning smiled: "How can it be Liu Xin, the big man you said is black and fierce, Liu Xin is a white face and handsome." Dad, I really can't think of who this person is. ”

Zhang Jiao looked at his daughter thoughtfully and said, "Okay, you all stand down, I'll think about it again." ”

What he is most worried about now is whether there will be any living in Liu Xin's hands, and also, if so many people die at once, will Liu Xin check the details of these people, and then follow the vine to find his head. At this time, Liu Xin was already interrogating those living mouths.

Liu Xin also kept watch at the head of the city until dawn, and only then did he see the team returning from Gaoyang, and surprisingly Dian Wei also appeared in the team, and there was a black-faced man with him.

It turned out that Dian Wei returned from Chenliu, encountered heavy fog on the road, got lost, and walked to the place of Qian County by mistake. In a mountain village, I met this big man who led people to block the way, and the two disagreed in words, so they fought, and fought for more than 200 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Dian Wei was furious, and the surname Suo set up camp outside the village, and every time he fought with this big man, he couldn't tell the winner for more than ten days.

Dian Wei saw that it was not early, it was already approaching the Spring Festival, and he was afraid that Liu Xin would blame, so he didn't want to continue to fight with him, but who knew that this big man had a plan, so that people cut off his retreat. Dian Wei was anxious, and shouted to the big man: "Wu Na man, get out of the way quickly, and miss your grandfather's big business." You can't afford to be guilty. ”

The big man sneered: "As long as you win the knife in my hand, it is up to you wherever you go." ”

Dian Wei said: "You and I have been fighting for more than ten days, and we have never decided the winner. Let's change the way we play. ”

Dahan asked, "What's the way to play?" ”

"Drink! Whoever gets drunk first loses. Dian Wei hurried back to the river, and because he had drunk a lot, he proposed this method.

Who expected that the big man laughed when he heard it: "Drink more than me?" You are killing yourself. ”

The big man ordered someone to carry out dozens of jars of wine from the village, and the two of them competed in front of the battle. The two of them drank from midnight to dusk, and they were both drunk. The subordinates were afraid that the two of them would lose, so they rushed forward one after another and exchanged hands. Without this big man, those villagers were not the opponents of the Flying Tiger Guards brought by Dian Wei, and they were all beaten away with a punch and kick, and this big man was still drunk and unconscious, and he was taken prisoner.

The next morning, Dian Wei and the big man's wine gradually woke up. When the big man saw that he was tied up with a rope, he was so anxious that he shouted: "You fool! ”

Dian Wei also said angrily to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly let him go, I will compare with him again." ”

A soldier persuaded: "General Dian, it's hard to catch this thief, don't compare again." It's been a few days since we came out, and if we don't go back, the adults will blame. ”

The big man said angrily: "Who do you say is a thief!" I think you're the thieves! ”

Another soldier said: "Of course we are officers and soldiers, can't you see our uniforms?" ”

The big man's head shook like a rattle: "I don't believe it, the officers and soldiers will run when they see the thieves, and the thieves will run away when they see me, how can you be officers and soldiers." ”

Dian Wei said while untying him: "Since you are not a thief, I will let you go." We are really officers and soldiers, I am Dian Wei, the commander of the personal guards under Lord Liu, if you don't believe it, go to Hejian and ask. I'm really going back to the river now, and I can't compare with you anymore. ”

The big man loosened his tie and said to Dian Wei: "If you don't compare, you won't compare." I am from this village, my name is Xu Chu, if you don't believe it, you go to the village and ask, who doesn't know me. ”

At this moment, there was a lot of noise outside, and an old man broke in and cried and said, "Please let the child go, I will give you as much money as you want." ”

Xu Chu looked at the man and shouted, "Dad, why are you here, I'm fine, isn't this good?" ”

As soon as Xu Laohan saw that Xu Chu was fine, he stopped his tears and was about to kneel towards Dian Wei. Dian Wei hurriedly supported him and said, "Oh, uncle, you must not do this. If my family knew about it, they would think I was bullying the people. ”

Xu Chu shook his head again and again: "Is there an army in this world that does not bully the common people?" I don't believe it! ”

One of the soldiers said angrily, "Why not? We never bully the common people! Yesterday I thought you were thieves, so I fought with you, otherwise, we wouldn't have done anything with you. ”

When Xu Laohan heard this, he asked, "I don't know if you still accept people?" ”

Dian Wei laughed and said, "Uncle, you seem to be a little older. Haha, haha. ”

Xu Laohan blushed and said, "It's not me, it's my son." You see that he has a strong body and a good martial arts, I don't know if your family is willing to accept him. ”

Dian Wei said happily: "That's great! With him, I can finally drink to my heart's content! ”

Xu Chu pouted and said, "Dad, I won't be a soldier, I want to take care of you at home." ”

Xu Laohan scolded: "Why are you so unproductive! You see, this general, who is about the same age as you, is already a commander. And where to find the army that does not bully the common people! If you don't go, I'll break your legs. ”

Dian Wei said disapprerovingly: "What's so difficult about this, uncle, you can't just go with us." ”

Everyone stayed in the village for a few more days, and Xu Laohan sold his family property, packed up the fine and soft, and went on the road with the team. Dian Wei and Xu Chu also competed in some martial arts along the way, but more of them fought for the amount of alcohol at night, slept late at night, and naturally got up late in the morning, and the speed of the march was naturally much slower. When they arrived in Gaoyang County, it was already dark, and they missed the time and could not enter the city, so they had to stay in the wilderness. In the middle of the night, a soldier got up at night, saw a beacon fire lit, and reported to Dian Wei. Dian Wei seized the opportunity to go into battle, and if he was willing to let it go, he ordered all the people to rush over. Xu Chu and Dian Wei got along along this way, and their relationship was very good, so Dian Wei asked Xu Chu to deal with the leader of the horse thieves, so that he could make a great contribution and serve Liu Xin again. Xu Chu also lived up to expectations, and injured Guan Hai in three or five rounds.

When Liu Xin heard that the black-faced man in front of him was Xu Chu, he was overjoyed, held his hand and said, "Okay, it turns out that you are Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, and in the future, you will be in charge of the Feihuwei with Dian Wei." ”

Xu Chu asked puzzledly: "Zhongkang is the word that my father just gave me, how did the adults know?" ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he was broken, and he dared to love this Xu Chu who had just performed the crown ceremony. The ancients were twenty and crowned, and the crown salute was given by the elders or close relatives, indicating that they had reached adulthood. Dian Wei didn't have a word at that time, and it was Liu Xin who helped him take the word "evil", because in Liu Xin's memory, Cao Ying once called Dian Wei "the evil of the ancients". Liu Xin's brain spun quickly: "Well, that's the case, a few days ago I dreamed of that golden armor god man again, and he told me that there is a strong man, surnamed Xu and Chu Zhongkang, who will come to help me." I didn't believe it yet, but I didn't expect you to come today. ”

Last time, Liu Xin pretended to be a god in Jinjia, saying that there was a great drought, and there has not been a drop of rain so far. Today, this golden-armored god mentioned that there is a Xu Zhongkang, and the word "Zhongkang" is exactly what Xu Laohan just gave Xu Chu. Everyone present couldn't help but be in awe of Liu Xin, this adult really has the help of gods and men! Fu Zhu and Tian Feng glanced at each other and nodded secretly, they have always had great ambitions and want to achieve a great cause, so they have made up their minds to assist Liu Xin wholeheartedly.

Liu Xin looked at the adoring eyes of everyone, and he was a little embarrassed, and was about to divert the topic, but heard Zhao Yun stand up and ask, "My lord, Xu Chu is the commander, so what should I do?" ”

Liu Xin then remembered that Zhao Yun was also the commander of the Flying Tiger Guard, thought for a while and said: "Zhao Yun, you are a year older this year, I am going to put some burden on you, you can go to the army to be a Sima." ”

In fact, after Xu Huang was injured, Zhao Yun has been managing the affairs of the army on his behalf, and he has done a good job, and he has always wanted to be a general in the army, and now he has finally got his wish.

Liu Xin knew what had happened, and the first thing he did was to learn about the casualties of the soldiers. The 200 cavalry led by Zhang He suffered the heaviest casualties, 35 killed and 42 seriously wounded, of which 11 could be crippled for life. The Flying Tiger soldiers brought by Zhao Yun also injured more than 30 people, but they were all in trouble. And the fifty cavalry led by Dian Wei was catching up with Guan Hai's defeated army, which was simply a one-sided massacre, with no casualties. Treating the wounded and compensating their families are naturally Tian Feng and Frustrated, but Liu Xin doesn't have to worry about anything.

In this battle, the "horse thief" was beheaded by more than 500 ranks, and more than 300 people were captured. Liu Xin inevitably had to interrogate the captive, because he had his mind, he interrogated it alone, and only asked one person a word, and he understood everything, because the captive told him that the leader was called Guan Hai. This confirmed his suspicion that these people were not horse thieves at all, but people from Taipingdao.

Knowing the truth of the matter, Liu Xin became embarrassed. According to reason, if such a thing happens, he should report it to the court as soon as possible. But inwardly, he was not resistant to the peasant uprising, and although he dropped out of school early, the education he had received since childhood was still deeply ingrained in his mind, and the peasant uprising was nothing but an extreme manifestation of the rebel against the ruling class by the ruling class. Moreover, he never thought that he had the ability to prevent the Yellow Turban Rebellion from happening, all he wanted to do was to keep the river from being affected and let himself live in peace for a few years.

Therefore, Liu Xin only asked one sentence and did not ask any more, and he also made a decision that puzzled everyone, to release all these captives, on the grounds that these people are also poor people, and I believe that after this time, they will change their minds and behave well. In fact, Liu Xin wanted to reveal a meaning to Zhang Jiao by releasing the captives: forget about this matter, I hope that everyone will not violate the river water in the future, and go their own way.

Zhang Jiao waited anxiously, but it was calm, and after a few days, the captured Taiping Daoists were all released. According to their confession, Liu Xin only asked one question - who is the leader of the team? Didn't ask anything else, and then let them all go.

This Liu Xin, what does he want to do? Zhang Jiao fell into deep thought.
