Luda got the banquet given by Liao Li, put the wine aside, and distributed the meat to the soldiers. After eating, arrange for the sergeant to patrol the camp, and go to rest without saying anything. In the early morning of the next day, without waiting for the Wuling officials to see him off, Luda pulled out the camp with the whole army, took the dry food prepared by Zhang Xian, and went to Yuanling.

When Zhang Xian heard that Luda had left and right, he didn't say anything, so he waved his hand and ordered him to retreat. Zhang Xian and Fuzhong dealt with government affairs, and at the beginning of the unitary period, there was a fleet from Changsha downstream of the Yuan River, and it had reached the outside of the city. When Zhang Xian heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to find out.

After a few moments, the left and right came to report, it turned out that it was Wang Qiuman's tent sailor right Zhonglang who led Ruan Xi to lead the Changsha naval army. This Ruan Xi heard that Luda had left the camp this morning, and he was going to chase after him overnight, but because the chief secretary Liao Li persuaded Yuanshui to be shallow and fast in Wuling, and it was inconvenient to sail at night, so he had to give up. He also led the soldiers to rest some of the grain and grass from the ship, and entered the camp to rest after handing over to Liao Li.

Zhang Xian listened, his face was expressionless, and he waved his hand to retreat left and right. After retreating left and right, Zhang Xianfang said to himself: "Hmph, you are a good little king, and you really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." I miss Zhang Xian, although I have a gap with you, but I am also a gentleman. If I ask you to calm the chaos for me, how can I treat you harshly with the grain and grass of the army? After that, Zhang Xian sighed and didn't go to meet Ruan Xi.

It is said that Luda led the army all the way to the foot of Yuanling City, and the sergeant came to report the entrance of the gate of Yuanling City, and there were no barbarians guarding it. Luda was deeply surprised, so he and Huang Xin rode horses to watch. When the two of them went to the city, they saw that the four gates were open, and the people went in and out on their own, but they did not see any barbarian soldiers. Lu Da was about to ride his horse into the city, and Huang Xin calmly stopped: "General Lu, the soul of your army, if the barbarians are deceitful, the general enters the city lightly, and is held by the enemy, then the army will be chaotic." It is better for me to lead the sergeant into the city first, and if he is safe, the general will enter. Otherwise, the general is asked to act at the opportunity. Luda was thick and fine, and seeing that Huang Xin's words were pertinent, he allowed it.

Huang Xin led 100 soldiers into the city to investigate, and within a short time, someone came to report to Luda. The sergeant said: "When Captain Huang entered the city, he ordered the sergeants to divide into four teams, each to the other three gates, and to take one team to the county government by himself." When the barbarians first came down to Yuanling, they killed Yuanling, plundered the treasury and the people, and transported all the plundered out of the city. Yesterday, I don't know what happened, and all the barbarians suddenly left the city and looked into the mountains. Captain Huang saw that there were no thieves in the city, so the envoy villain came to invite the general to enter the city. ”

When Ruda heard this, he ordered all the soldiers to enter the city, and ordered the soldiers to guard the four gates. Luda finished arranging to come to the county government to find Huang Xin. Seeing Huang Xin, Luda asked: "Yanzhi, all the barbarian soldiers have gone out of the city and into the mountains, what do you think?" Huang Xin pondered for a moment and said: "Xu is a barbarian soldier who is not good at defending the city, so when he heard that an army has arrived, he scattered into the mountains in order to fight against our army." After hearing this, Ruda nodded yes and said, "Since this is the case, then we can rest assured that we can be stationed in the city." Huang Xin said: "The general should not be careless, the Han barbarians in Yuanling City live together, and there may be barbarians in the city, but it is not known." Be careful. Ruda said yes, and said, "So the soldiers will patrol the four gates and the streets of the city, and if anyone wanders the streets after nightfall, they will be judged as barbarians and will be killed." Huang Xin took the order and left, and Luda rested in the county government.

After nightfall, a barbarian army quietly emerged from the mountains northwest of Yuanling City. When they reached the edge of the water, the barbarian army waded through the water. To the northwest corner of the city, dozens of elite barbarian troops came out of the crowd and went up from the northwest corner of Yuanling City to help the city. The soldiers in the city did not notice until the barbarians reached the city gates. Huang Xin was patrolling the night near the city gate, and when he saw a barbarian army stealing the city gate, he immediately gathered soldiers to rob it. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the gates of the city were already opened by the barbarian army. I saw a barbarian general with a face like blood, and his blue eyes were prominent, making an iron thistle bone flower, and two bows on his belt, majestic and vigorous. The barbarians under his command were all sent to their feet, and they all made bows, crossbows, spears, and swords and axes.

Huang Xin led the sergeant to meet him, and the barbarian general was in a hurry, and shot an arrow with a bow. Huang Xin raised his sword to block, and the brute general saw that he was not hit, so he came immediately in the early shot. Raising the thistle terrestris bones, looking at Huang Xin's head and smashing it, Huang Xin raised his sword to meet him, and the two fought for more than 20 times. Huang Xin saw that the barbarian general was brave, and he was expected to be invincible, so he looked in the direction of the county government, and fought and retreated.

But he said that Luda was lying high in the county government, and when he heard the sound of killing, he was not in a hurry, and ordered the sergeant to put on armor and lead the horse for him. Tied up, Ruda shoveled his horse and looked at the city gate. When Huang Xin was defeated by the barbarian generals, he looked at the county government to retreat, only to hear Luda shouting: "Huang Yan is panicking, and he is also scattered." "Stop, pat the horse to get the brute general.

Seeing the ferocity of Luda, the barbarian general hurriedly abandoned Huang Xin to welcome Luda. But seeing that this barbarian general was holding an iron thistle bone and looking at Luda coming, he shouted in his mouth: "Xiongxi Shamoke is here, and the Han dog is famous." Luda responded: "Wild dog, your grandfather Luda is also." ”

Shamoko was furious when he heard this, and the iron-boned Duowang Ruda smashed it with all his might. Seeing that he was using such a stupid weapon as the Iron Tribulus Guduo, Luda knew that he was powerful, and he went all out to meet him at the moment. The two of them fought on horseback, the iron bones and the crescent shovel intersected, and the sound of "bell, bell" did not stop, and only the Han barbarian sergeants on the side were frightened. The two of them crossed their horses and let go of a circle ten zhang in size.

The two men and two horses intersected, and the armament was raised at the same time, and there were more than 100 battles, from the city to the outside of the city, regardless of victory or defeat. Shamoke's horses were tired, and he said: "Don't rest, my horses are tired, can I dare to change horses and fight again?" Luda said: "You go, I'm afraid you won't make it." With that, the two went back to the army and changed horses.

The two changed horses, fought again before returning to the battle, and fought about 100 times, and the sky was already bright. Ruda fought from late at night to dawn, and his stomach was hungry, so he jumped out of the circle and said: "The barbarian general will rest for a while, and wait for the family to return to the army to eat and fight again." Shamoke also felt hungry, and said with a self-improvement: "General Han asked me to go back to the camp to change horses before, and I will spare you for a while this time." Ruda said angrily: "The barbarian will stop talking and talk after dinner." Then the two of them went back to the army.

Ruda hastily ate his meals in the army, rested for a while, did not use a helmet, only wrapped his head with a cloth towel, and fought in Shamoko before going out to the army. Shamoko came out again, and the two fought again. After more than 30 fights, Shamoke made the iron bone Duo in his hand look at Luda to hang, Luda flashed, held the iron bone Duo under his ribs, and made the crescent moon shovel Shamoke to shake it away. He was also flashed by Shamoko, and he held the shovel under his ribs. Both of them dragged with all their strength, and they both rolled off their horses.

The rise of Ruda killing, abandoned the blade, grabbed Shamoko and fought. Shamoko also cowardly him, and also abandoned his sword to scuffle with him, and his robe was torn to pieces. In the end, Shamoko only practiced wrestling, not as proficient in fists and feet as Ruda, and Luda was powerful, so he was pressed to the ground by Ruda and couldn't move. Huang Xin had already seen it early, and ordered the sergeant to snatch Shamoke. He also waved his army to cover and kill the barbarians. The barbarians were defeated and fled through the mountains of Yuanshuiwang.

Ruda was victorious, and he met Shamoke in the county capital. The sergeant twisted Shamoko to the court. Ruda sat on the hall, Shamoko stood at the bottom of the hall, and the sergeant wanted to force Shamoko to bow down. Luda went down to the hall and retreated, untied his ties, untied his clothes, helped him up to the hall, sat high in the middle, bowed his head and bowed: "The right sergeant has no form, there are many offenses, fortunately don't be responsible." Shamoke hurriedly came to help Ruda and said: "I am a general of the criminal army, how dare I accept the general's gift?" With that, he helped Ruda to rise.

Ruda also ordered wine and meat to be placed on the left and right, and feasted with Shamoko. When the wine was half drunk, Shamoke deeply felt Luda's respect, and admired Luda's martial arts, so he got up and left his seat to worship: "I am a general of the defeated army, and I can't redeem a hundred deaths, how did I expect the general to treat me so kindly." I, the Xiongxi people, are the most brave in martial arts and can drink well. I dare to marry the general as the Jinlan brothers. Lu Daxi said: "I can't ask for it." ”

After that, Luda ordered the three animal incense cases to be prepared left and right. The two were in the courtyard, swore an oath to the sky, burned incense and worshipped, and became brothers. After the ceremony, the two talked about the New Year, Ruda was the elder brother, and Shamoke was the younger brother. The two went to the court hand in hand, and ordered the sergeant to re-distribute the wine and food, and then make a high drink.

During the banquet, Luda asked, "Brother Xian, why are you waiting for the Wuxi people to rebel?" Hearing this, Shamoko stopped and sighed: "That's a long way to say. Ruda poured a full glass of wine for Shamoko and said, "That is the case, brother Xian, you should speak slowly." ”

Shamoke drank the wine in the cup and said: "We Wuxi people are the descendants of the ancient Sanmiao, and the factor likes to live by water, and is divided into five branches, which are named Wuxi, Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, and Youxi. The Wuxi people have their own disputes and fight each other. Later, because the Han people avoided Wang Mang's rebellion and entered the land of Wuxi, they had disputes with the Han people. In order to protect the people from being deceived by the Han people, the wise man in the clan summoned the five clans to discuss. The five masters follow the wisdom of the wise, connect with each other, and help each other. Since then, although the Wuxi people have occasional disputes, they can help each other when the Han people come to attack, and connect with the Han army to resist the Han army. A hundred years ago, Wuxi Jingfu, because he could not bear the oppression of the Han officials, gathered a crowd to cause trouble, and the five clans rushed to respond, and jointly pushed Wuxi Jingfu to be the leader of the one-way fight against the Han army. After years of war, due to the lack of food and grass, it had to be surrendered. However, the Wuxi clan was the head of the tribes because of the one-way appearance, and after the war, it became the head of Wuxi and overwhelmed the tribes.

In this Wuxi rebellion, although Zhang Taishou was very kind to our clansmen, because of the ancestral covenant, Wuxi was forced by a large army, and the clansmen were also afraid that when the Han army arrived, they would rebel regardless of good and wither, and had to respond to Wuxi. With that, Shamoko poured himself another drink.

After hearing this, Luda on the side said: "That is the case, why don't you join the account of the lord of the Sprinkle family." In this way, there is no need to worry about the officers and soldiers seeing it as a rebellion, and it can also resist the coercion of Wuxi. Shamoko sighed: "Alas, brother, you don't know, brother, the covenant of the five tribes has an oath first, and if any clan does not follow the deeds of several tribes, the rest of the tribes will discuss it together." How can I not be calculated by the clansmen, so what my brother said, I dare not obey. ”

After hearing this, Luda hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, since you have voted under the lord's account, the lord will protect your people." If the other four clans dare to offend each other, the lord will raise a large army to ask for it, how can he stop it? Shamoke just shook his head and said, "This matter is not trivial, as a Xiongxi Jingfu, I am a member of the clan, I dare not be hasty, and I dare to decide when I return to the clan to discuss with the elders." ”

After hearing this, Luda said helplessly: "Brother Xian, since this is the case, you and I will drink first, and after the banquet, the family will return your horses and ordnance, and you will return to the mountain." After that, the two were relatively speechless and just drank with their heads bored.
