But when the short arms are in hand, the comparison is fast, whether ancient and modern Chinese and foreign swords and swords The weight of short weapons is between 3-5 catties, for no other reason, beyond this weight is too slow for ordinary people's arm strength, so those who dare to use the iron whip are all arms and skilled warriors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Liu Guoneng followed behind his subordinates disguised as the leader, staring intently at Yuan Zongdi, who was coming slowly, only to see his head wrapped in white cloth, dressed in iron armor, covered with a gray sheepskin cloak, a bamboo iron whip hanging on his right leg, and a bow bag and Hu Lu full of arrows on his left. Although the nearest soldier was also more than 20 paces away, he was both happy and worried.

Yuan Zongdi tightened the reins at a distance of about ten steps from the other party, and said with a smile: "Where are you from?" Have you ever met officers and soldiers along the way! ”

The pro-soldier was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously turned to Liu Guoneng on the side, Liu Guoneng snorted coldly, and secretly screamed badly, so he had to reply with a forced smile: "This brother, we are from Yexian, the officials and soldiers are all shrunk in the city, just like the turtle son, we have a smooth journey!" ”

"Ye County?" Yuan Zongdi looked at Liu Guoneng a little strangely, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and asked: "Who is this brother, I am a little familiar!" ”

"My surname is Liu Mingwu, and I have a nickname called Abduction Six!" Liu Guoneng replied casually, but his left hand waved behind his back a few times, signaling that he was ready to move. Another soldier saw it in his eyes, kicked the war horse lightly, pulled out his waist knife and rushed towards Yuan Zongdi, swinging his knife to slash. Yuan Zongdi's eyes were fast, and he swung an iron whip like lightning, and the steel knife suddenly flew out two or three feet away, and the tiger's mouth of the pro-soldier cracked, and Yuan Zongdi's backhand whip hit the back of the pro-soldier's head, and the brain that was hit through the helmet suddenly collapsed. At this time, the second person had already rushed to the horse and was whipped off by Yuan Zong. Liu Guoneng saw that his two specially selected soldiers were on the horse in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly beat the horse and turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "Come on, come and kill the thief!" But before he could turn the horse's head, Yuan Zongdi had already caught up and stretched out his left arm to lift it from the horse.

Almost at the same time, the drums and trumpets of the officers and soldiers on one side of the river rushed towards the middle of the river, and the peasant army sentry on the opposite bank saw this, thinking that it was black and eating black, and they also rushed up, wanting to protect their own main general. Yuan Zong pressed Liu Guoneng on his saddle with the first hand, and waved an iron whip with one hand, beating the officers and soldiers who surrounded him to turn over on their backs, and they couldn't get close. But most of Liu Guoneng's personal soldiers are his fellow villagers, and Liu Guoneng is also very indulgent to them on weekdays, no matter what mistakes he makes, he covers up the past for them, so he fights very bravely and wants to snatch Liu Guoneng back. Yuan Zongdi saw that there were more and more enemies around, roared, and splashed the brains of the enemy in front of him with a whip in his hand, and took advantage of the opportunity of Liu Guoneng's personal soldiers to retreat a little, and rushed out, his horse was fast, although there was one more Liu Guoneng on it, and the personal soldiers couldn't catch up in a short distance, and they just didn't dare to release arrows, for fear of accidentally injuring Liu Guoneng on the saddle. Although Liu Guoneng also had a bit of courage, he was crossed by Yuan Zongdi's left hand around his neck, not to mention that he was moving, and it was difficult to even breathe, so he had to plead in a low voice: "Brother Han Ju, I am Liu Guoneng, read it in the past, spare me!" ”

"It's you bitch, no wonder Lao Tzu is a little familiar!" Yuan Zongdi scolded: "You surrendered to the imperial court, turned around and killed the brothers who swore righteousness together, and dare to ask Lao Tzu for mercy?" ”

At this time, Yuan Zongdi had already rushed ashore, and nearly half of the cavalry he brought was killed or wounded, and the rest of the people saw that the leader had already broken out of the encirclement, and they all gathered their formations, wanting to cover Yuan Zong's retreat. Liu Guoneng's men and horses saw that Yuan Zongdi was about to arrest the general, and they couldn't care about it so much, and several people who were good at archery on weekdays opened their bows and arrows and shot at Yuan Zongdi's mount. Yuan Zongdi only felt that the war horse under his crotch suddenly jumped suddenly, and even turned around and fell, Yuan Zongdi jumped off the horse in a hurry, but fortunately he didn't press it. Yuan Zongdi got up and wanted to catch Liu Guoneng, only to find that the other party was already rolling outside. Yuan Zongdi jumped up and was about to step forward to take it down, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a horse rushing towards him, and immediately the knight held a spear and leaned down, trying to pierce himself. Yuan Zongdi waited until the spear was stabbed, reached out to grab the spear on one side, dragged it off the horse, and took the life of the guy with a shot, and when he was about to kill Liu Guoneng again, he found that the other party jumped on a lost war horse and had already run away.

Yuan Zongdi knew that it was too late to kill Liu Guoneng, so he had to pick up the iron whip, pull out the saber from the waist of the slain enemy, jump on the captured war horse, and rush towards the enemy army. Although the number of officers and soldiers is large, but Yuan Zongdi has a killing temperament, and he is a hundred times more courageous, just now he wants to hold down Liu Guoneng with his left hand, and can only fight with one hand, now he is holding a knife in his left hand, holding an iron whip in his right hand, and the bow is unstoppable, killing a pair from the enemy's front team, rescuing more than ten of his subordinates who were surrounded, and killing them back with them before retreating.

"General, do you want to catch up and wipe out this group of thieves in one fell swoop?" The adjutant general asked Liu Guoneng.

Liu Guoneng didn't speak, his face still had the horror of escaping death, he looked left and right, his own soldiers were all frightened, obviously killed by the brave and abnormal Yuan Zongdi, even if it was useless to catch up. He coughed lowly, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "That's it, it's just a few fish that have slipped through the net, and now that the military situation is urgent, it is better to return to Shiye County as soon as possible and inform the superintendent of the military situation of the fall of Nanyang!" ”

When the adjutant general heard that Liu Guoneng did not plan to pursue, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "The general is really old!" ”

"Okay, time is urgent, cut off the head quickly, and count the captured weapons and horses, you can't stay here for long!" Liu Guoneng waved his hand impatiently.

Nanyang, Chuang Wang camp.

"The general is the emperor's family, the letter and righteousness are focused on the four seas, the heroes are generalized, the thinking is thirsty, if there are Jing and Yi, protect its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, the outside of Sun Quan, the internal cultivation of political affairs; If there is a change in the world, he ordered a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. ”

"Mr. Song!"

Li Zicheng sat in front of the desk, with a copy of "Three Kingdoms" in front of him, Song Xiance was reciting and shaking his head, he was interrupted by Li Zicheng, he raised his head and asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't really understand what you just read!" Li Zicheng pointed to the book: "What Zhuge Liang said about Wan, Luo, and Yizhou, where are these referring to?" ”

"Oh!" Song Xiance said with a smile: "The general asked well, Zhuge Liang mentioned Wan is this Nanyang Mansion, Wan, the four sides are high and the center is down, in the early Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Wen destroyed Lu and Shen Erguo, and built a city here to enter the Central Plains, because its land is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water, so it is called Wanyi." And Luo refers to Luoyang; Yizhou refers to what is now Sichuan and Hanzhong. At that time, Jingzhou's seat of governance was now Xiangyang, and according to Zhuge Liang's deployment, Shu crossed the Han River from Xiangyang to the north with a large general, and the troops went straight to Luoyang and Luoyang, and the Central Plains would inevitably shake; And Liu Bei himself led the army from Hanzhong to Qinchuan in Guanzhong, and the two armies cooperated with each other, Wei was bound to be at a loss, and the revival of the Han dynasty was hopeful! ”

"So that's what happened!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Zhuge Liang's planning is naturally very clever, but we are also here now, and it is only two or three days away from Longzhong, so Mr. Song will also plan for me!" ”

Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng's words had the meaning of comparing himself to Zhuge Liang, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "Based on what I can see below, the general's next actions should be described in seven words!" ”

"Oh? Those seven words? ”

"To the man and not to the man!" Song Xiance said in a deep voice, and when he saw the confused look on Li Zicheng's face, he explained in a low voice: "Sun Tzu said: 'Those who are on the battlefield first and treat the enemy will be lost, and those who will be on the battlefield and tend to fight will work. Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause others but not others. He who can make the enemy self-defeating, also benefit; Those who can prevent the enemy from reaching will also be harmed. Therefore, the enemy can work, be hungry, and be safe. Going out of the way, tending to what it doesn't expect; Those who travel thousands of miles without working will also walk in a land where no one is man; Those who attack and must take will attack what they do not defend; Those who defend and must be solid, defend what they do not attack. Therefore, those who are good at attacking, the enemy does not know what they are defending; Those who defend well, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. Although the imperial court has built the capital of Youyan, it eats in the southeast, and the luck does not stop for a day, and the Son of Heaven sleeps and eats restlessly, and he is not time to eat. Hong Chengchou placed his troops in Luoyang, and when he learned that Nanyang had fallen, he would inevitably dispatch officers and troops from all over the country to attack. If the general breaks up with Cao Shuai and lets him go west and return to Guanzhong from Wuguan, but you personally lead the army eastward and sneak out of the Jianghuai River, what do you think Hong Chengchou will do? ”

"Okay, Mr. Song is really a good move!" Li Zicheng slapped his thigh, it turned out that whether it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong or Cao Cao, most of the soldiers and backbones in his army were from Shaanxi, and the local concept of the Ming Dynasty was extremely heavy. And now they have been fighting in various places for several years, and the army is very homesick for their hometown, and now they are winning a big victory in Nanyang, looting a lot, as the saying goes, the rich and noble do not return to their hometowns like clothes and brocade at night, so in Li Zicheng, Cao Cao, Zhang Xianzhong's army in the west to break through Wuguan and return to Shaanxi is very loud. Moreover, the small group of people in Shaanxi has not been completely eliminated, and these armies will definitely set off earth-shattering waves all the way back. Hong Chengchou is very clear about this, so if the news of the peasant army is about to go west, Hong Chengchou is very likely to focus his defense on the northwest. The south was originally a relatively empty area of the Ming army, once Li Zicheng went east between the Jianghuai River, he could directly threaten the southeast, the main source of wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and even cut off the Cao Yun, at that time Hong Chengchou would have to completely break the original deployment, exhausted, and the whole situation would be completely different.

"But this plan must be coordinated by Cao Shuai and Zhang Dawang!"

"That's easy to say!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Cao Shuai, I know that he has gained a lot from breaking Nanyang this time, and he has long wanted to go back to his hometown to see, and Cao Shuai is a person who understands, this is a matter of mutual benefit, he will definitely agree." Zhang Jingxuan had the least number of troops among the three of us, and most of them acted with Cao Shuai and returned to Shaanxi. ”

As he was talking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and Yuan Zongdi rushed in, his hands and sleeves splashed with blood, his cloak was cut in several places by the tip of his sword and spear, and he was shot through three holes by arrows. Seeing this, Li Zicheng's face changed drastically, and he asked, "Hanju, what's wrong?" ”

"I've met Liu Guoneng, a dog thief!" Yuan Zongdi panted and scolded: "This guy is disguised as a rebel, saying that he is the second master who flies with wings, and wants to earn me!" Instead, he killed me, but unfortunately he didn't cut off his head! ”

"Liu Guoneng?" Li Zicheng's face changed slightly: "Isn't he an errand boy under Hong Chengchou?" How many soldiers does he have? Where did you and him meet? ”

"About six or seven hundred, all cavalry! I met on the edge of Fangcheng, and it is a day away from Nanyang! ”

"With such a little soldiers and horses, there must be a large team of soldiers and horses behind him as a successor, seeing that Hong Chengchou is not far from here, I can't imagine that he didn't take the Three Crows Road, this old fox!" Li Zicheng scolded in a low voice, he thought for a while and shouted: "Come on, please invite Jing Xuan and Cao Shuai to come to me, saying that there is something important to discuss!" ”

Cao Cao leaned back in his chair, looking lazy, and even when he heard Yuan Zongdi's report on the imminent arrival of the Ming army, he still did not change his expression.

"Self-formed brothers, we have been here in Nanyang for a long time, and the bones of the brothers will be soft if we stay any longer, Hong Hengjiu is just right when he comes, let's return this Nanyang to him." Jing Xuan, did you say? His last sentence was said to Zhang Xianzhong on the side.

Zhang Xianzhong snorted noncommittally: "It's not so easy to leave, according to my meaning, I want this big family in Nanyang to make another blood, otherwise I will burn this place with a fire!" ”

"No!" Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Since we are righteous soldiers, we have to set up a rule, those officials and gentry oppress the people on weekdays, but what is the fault of the people in the city?" How can it just be a fire? ”

"Haha!" Zhang Xianzhong sneered twice: "I heard that Brother Zicheng accepted a Song dwarf as a clerk, and now it seems that Song Dwarf is a layman who cultivates at home, right?" After a while, Brother Zicheng, do you want to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and you won't even eat wine and meat? ”

Li Zicheng's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "Jingxuan, you say that I am nothing, but Mr. Song is a university questioner, you can't say it!" ”

"The university asked?" Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "Some universities ask if you can't even get into a show? Lao Tzu doesn't know how many people he has killed, and he can't say anything about a sour thing! (To be continued.) )
