Chapter 34 The people were devastated, saving Xuande and worshipping their ancestors

Putting down Han Zhong's serious illness with a cold, he was bedridden and unconscious, and he even thought it was in a dream during the whole process of his cold. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that after Zhang Fei led three heavy armored cavalry battalions through Longshan and entered Beiping County, he discovered the ferocity and cruelty of the Yellow Turban thieves.

Dozens of households in a village at the foot of Longshan Mountain in Beiping County, in the past peaceful years, this small village every time the meal season, the whole village rises with smoke, and the laughter of children in the village is accompanied by the sound of the stream at the edge of the village, constituting a natural paradise. At the beginning, Liu Qian and others took Zhang Fei and others into Liaodong and rested in this village. Even later, Zhang Fei went to Beiping with caravans many times, and he also rested in this village. The people of the village were very hospitable.

Therefore, when Zhang Fei led the crowd through this village, he was angered by the scene in the village. I saw that the houses at the entrance of the village had collapsed, and there were even traces of burning thatch on the roof. Several corpses with missing skin and flesh were on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, apparently the remains of dead villagers who had been devoured and torn by unknown beasts.

Zhang Fei endured his anger and instructed Zhang Jun to take people in to see if there were still anyone alive.

Zhang Jun led the people in not long ago, and then came out. It seems that no one alive has been found.

"Boss, the situation in the village is even more miserable, more than 100 people have been killed in front of that ancestral hall. It doesn't matter if it's the elderly or children, there's it all. The women were plucked and killed, apparently after being ruined. Zhang Jun introduced the situation to Zhang Fei, "Boss, I think I will send someone to bury the people!" Otherwise, a plague may form! ”

Zhang Fei stared at a pair of copper bell eyes, and his anger continued to burn.

At this moment, Li Shun came over and said, "Fifth General, it seems that the people here have not been dead for a long time. No enemy was found on the road we came. I guess these thieves should be ahead of us. Well, now we're going full speed ahead. Should catch up with them in a day or two. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he suddenly became energetic! "Zhang Jun, your battalion is responsible for burying these people. I led them in pursuit. When you have finished buried, come after us. ”

After that, Zhang Fei took Li Shun and Meng Tong to lead two heavy cavalry battalions and began to pursue at full speed.

As expected, the bandof thieves had passed by outside the village two days earlier and had been attracted by the smoke of the noon cooking. The villagers never thought that a few wisps of cooking smoke would become their talismans. A hundred or so people in a village were killed by these thieves. This is a group of more than 300 thieves, after seeing Zhang Jiao Taiping Dao*, it seems to see a glimmer of hope, although they are not Taiping Dao people, but they all have yellow turbans wrapped around their heads. The leading thief is called Gao Li, and under his leadership, this gang of thieves has ransacked no less than ten villages.

At noon on the third day, Zhang Fei and the others had already seen these thieves. However, when they found a well-equipped and armed regular army rushing out behind them, Gao Li and his group of thieves lost the prestige they had once looted the village. Suddenly, like birds and beasts, they fled in all directions.

However, two legs can run more than four legs! Soon, they were surrounded by more than 2,000 armored cavalry. Dozens of guys who fled with all their might were hacked to death with long knives, and the remaining hundred or so people all leaned closer to the center, looking at these cavalrymen with trepidation, and even their pants were wet.

Zhang Fei rode on the horse, stared at the copper bell with wide eyes, and opened his mouth to shout: "Ah! Wu Na thief, that village under Longshan is your scourge? ”

Gao Li stood in the middle of this circle of robbers, bowing his head and not daring to say a word. The other thieves kept their heads down and didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that no one was silent, Zhang Fei was furious: "Ah! Wu Na thief, blatantly ignore your Grandpa Zhang! Come on! Bind them up for me. ”

A group of cavalrymen jumped off their horses and swarmed up to tie up the shoulders and arms of the hundred or so men. Zhang Fei jumped down from the horse, took the horsewhip, walked up to a thief, picked his chin with the horsewhip, blew his beard and glared: "Boy, you said that when you were scourging that village, how many people did you kill?" ”

This guy is too good at picking people, and this person is Gao Li. Gao Li stumbled and said, "Master, I didn't kill anyone? ”

"You didn't kill anyone? Then why did you run away when you saw us? Who is leading the way? Don't you say that Lao Tzu killed you? Zhang Fei threatened.

"I...?" There was a moment of hesitation on Gao Li's face.

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean that the people on the side don't say it. At this moment when he hesitated, a man said: "He is our big boss!" ”

Zhang Fei's anger in the past few days has really found a place to spread.

"! You're too much of a thing, kid. Even your grandfather Zhang dares to fool! Zhang Fei was suddenly furious, rounded his arm, and beat this kid so much that he screamed.

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Fei stopped and asked, "Where did the main force of your group of thieves go?" ”

That's a good question! They are fakes at all, how do you know where the main force is? Gao Li talked to this group of thieves for a long time, and Zhang Fei didn't believe it! They all have yellow turbans on their heads! Zhang Fei, a stunned young man, didn't ask for a long time, and killed all these people in a fit of anger.

However, after this episode, Zhang Fei and Zhang Wuye's fire has been extinguished a lot. After pacifying the bandits, Zhang Fei waited for Zhang Jun to catch up and then led his soldiers and horses to Beiping.

A few days later, when I came to a small town in the south of Beiping City, I met several merchants from the south who passed by in a panic. Zhang Fei hurriedly sent someone to stop him and inquire in detail, only then did he know that Zhuojun was besieged by Cheng Yuanzhi's military horses. Originally, Zhang Fei wanted to go to the rescue immediately, but was stopped by Li Shun.

"Five generals, don't rush forward! When the lord came, he commanded, and we will meet with the lord after we have here. Li Shun was found by Liu Qian before he came, just to restrict this fierce Zhang Fei a little. However, Liu Qian still underestimated Zhang Fei's domineering, how could a small commander restrain him.

Zhang Fei pounced on his cold head, and then blew his beard and glared: "Li Shun, don't always talk about big brother!" Now I say I will go, and saving soldiers is like fighting fire. You take the two of you here and wait for the big brother's troops. ”

After that, Zhang Fei took 3,000 soldiers and horses and went straight to Zhuo County.

Li Shun was afraid that he would make a mistake with a few soldiers, so he unloaded the armor on his body and horse and handed it to his two cavalrymen, and galloped towards Liu Qian's team.

After receiving Li Shun's report, he immediately ordered Yang Huai and Xu Rong to be responsible for escorting his sick father-in-law Han Zhong, and then led his seven thousand light horsemen to chase Zhang Fei under the leadership of Li Shun.

However, after three days of rapid marching, Liu Qian finally caught up with Zhang Fei before rushing to Zhuojun.

Outside the city of Zhuojun is a plain of Pingchuan, and to the south is a small county town called Pingyuan. However, there was a forest more than fifty miles away from Zhuo County, and Liu Qian temporarily stopped his troops in the woods. Liu Qian led Xu Chu, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei with more than 50 cavalry to pass through the woods and go to check the enemy's situation.

The woods are not large, and it took about half a day to ride through them. Coming to the edge of the woods, a light cavalry went up to the tree and looked into the distance for a while, and then came down to report to Liu Qian: "My lord, about five miles away from the woods is the camp of thieves. Looking from the trees, there are three more places in the camp of thieves, one directly opposite the woods, and two next to it. It seems that contrary to what the lord said before, the enemy was divided into four battalions to besiege the people in the city, and there was a battalion at each of the two gates, and a battalion on each side to echo it. ”

"Excellent! Go and bring the soldiers here! Liu Qian was very satisfied with the reconnaissance ability of this light cavalry raider, "In addition, tell everyone to prepare dry rations as soon as possible, and we must take the enemy's large camp tonight." ”

It is no coincidence that no book is written. In a hurry, Liu Bei broke into the camp and moved troops to be trapped tonight. Liu Qian led three battalions of heavy cavalry with Zhang Fei to break into the enemy camp, and then Xu Chu led two battalions of heavy cavalry to attack from the left flank, and Dian Wei led three battalions of light cavalry to attack from the right flank.

After Zhang Fei and others surrendered a group of Yellow Turban thieves, Liu Qian led four battalions of crossbow archers over. Liu Bei was very happy when he saw this, and stepped forward to express his gratitude to Liu Qian and others, which was completely overflowing, and his sincerity came from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Qian immediately led Xu Chu and others to use this camp tent to arrange for his soldiers to set up camp. Leave it at that.

It is said that Liu Bei led Liu Qian into the city to see Liu Yan. Two years ago, Liu Qian negotiated with Helian Mengge in Liu Yan's mansion in Beiping because of the dispute between Kuitou and Helian Ganhe. At this time, Liu Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the years are unforgiving! Deep wrinkles already appeared on Liu Yan's forehead.

"It's too late! Frightened uncle! Liu Qian came to Liu Yan and knelt down. This is the titular clan uncle!

"The Holy Lift has come. If you come, you won't worry about your uncle! Liu Yan is well aware of Liu Qian's achievements outside the Saiwai, and when he saw that Liu Qian broke Deng Mao's camp, his trust in Liu Qian has reached the point of superstition, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Liu Bei's character Xuande in Zhuojun, and he is the king of Zhongshan." It is clearly written in the genealogy that the two of you are equals, and the two of you will be closer and closer in the future! ”

Knowing that he is Liu Bei, didn't he wait for you to come to him before he chatted with him?

"That's that! I don't know Xuande, what year was he born? Liu Qian replied respectfully, turned around and asked Liu Bei.

"Bei was born in the third year of Yanxi, I don't know what year Shengju was born?" Liu Bei replied and asked rhetorically.

"Qianqu is one year old and born in the second year of Yanxi."

"I've seen my brother." When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted, and called Liu Qian as his brother.

"Virtuous brother doesn't have to be polite." Liu Qian got up and said, "Today's saint is young, which leads to internal troubles. We are all descendants of Taizu, and we should do our best to save my Han family. My uncle is old, and it is up to me to be a young person to take care of these things. If you don't dislike Qian's layman, Qian hopes that the virtuous brother can work together to eliminate the thieves in front of the army. ”

"Good! What the virtuous nephew said was extremely true. Uncle Wei will set up an incense table to worship Taizu today, hoping that Taizu will bless me with the spirit of heaven and bless me with the prosperity of the Han River for ten thousand years. ”

Subsequently, Liu Yan made people set up incense cases. Liu Qian and Liu Bei, under the leadership of Liu Yan, jointly worshiped Liu Bang, the founding ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Qian swore in front of the case and said: "In today's miasma, Qian is not willing to follow the grand plan of the ancestors of Guangwu, destroy the thieves in front of the army, calm the rebellion under the sword, and restore the glory of my Han Dynasty." ”

What does that mean? That is to say, the current Han Dynasty is full of miasma, thieves and troubled times, although I Liu Qian is not successful, but I am willing to follow the example of the ancestor Emperor Guangwu, display the grand ambition of saving the country, eliminate the rebellious thieves in front of the two armies, and kill the rebellious rebellious ministers and thieves under the sword, so as to restore the brilliant glory of our Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei swore in front of the case and said: "I am willing to jointly destroy the thieves in front of the army from my brother and holy move, and to defend the foundation of my Han Dynasty." ”

After swearing, Liu Qian took Liu Bei back to the camp outside the city, and the two lived in the main tent together and talked all night. Liu Bei himself is a sage, and he is deeply benevolent and righteous, and since he recognizes Liu Qian as his brother, he is very sincere to Liu Qian.
