Chapter 78 The thieves captured Zhou Cang and skillfully used a trick to kill Cheng Da

The next day, according to Liu Bei's arrangement, Le Yin took his soldiers straight to Anping City.

In Anping City, Cheng Da, the yellow turban thief, was drinking and having fun with the concubine of King Anping, and four or five dancing girls danced with the music.

Suddenly, the deputy general Zhou Cang came in from outside.

"Qu Shuai, that Le Yin is challenging outside the city again!" Zhou Cang said to Cheng Da, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on his face, and it disappeared in a moment.

Cheng Da opened his mouth and ate the grapes that the little concubine brought to his mouth, spit the grape skin on the ground with a "pop", squinted his eyes and said, "You just go and deal with it!" ”

"This ......!" Zhou Cang's face was very ugly, he glanced at him coldly, and saw that people didn't look at him, and he was still holding the chick for fun, so he had to "hum" helplessly and turned to leave.

Zhou Cang has always been unaccustomed to Cheng Da's face, if it wasn't for the great sage and good teacher who made him a Qu Shuai, how could he be willing to do things under him?

Everyone is from a poor background, and they have just entered the city and become like this, they really forget their roots!

Zhou Cang cursed Cheng Da in his heart, and at the same time came outside to light up five hundred soldiers, opened the city gate, and came to Le Yin and the others.

To be honest, Zhou Cang still admires the old man Leyin.

In the past few days when Anping City was captured, this old man has come to the outside of the city many times to fight, just to rescue the King of Anping in the city. What a lesson in loyalty!

The number of soldiers under his command has been reduced from 1,000 to 3,400, and he still hasn't given up......

"Master Le, why are you doing this? is an old bone, why bother to work for him? I have already comforted Qu Shuai, and he has promised to let you go on your own. Why are you here again? Zhou Cang asked puzzled.

Le Yin raised his eyebrows coldly, and scolded loudly and angrily: "The body of the king's nobles, how can you be allowed to wait for the bad practice? I have sent for help, and I will be there in the near future. You should surrender early, so as not to be punished when you get it! ”

"You're ......!" Hearing him say this, Zhou Cang had this nest of fire in his heart.

Lao Tzu kindly comforted you, and you cursed Lao Tzu in turn!

I really don't know the hearts of good people!

Zhou Cang was anxious for a while, and he was affected by Cheng Da just now, so he looked very impatient, and said sharply: "Since you don't know how to lift, then don't blame me for being rude!" ”

After speaking, he swung his knife and slashed at Le Yin.

Le Yin pulled out his long sword to resist.

But how is the old and weak Le Yin the opponent of Zhou Cang?

After only three or five rounds, Le Yin was almost hit by Zhou Cang.

In the panic, Le Yin once again escaped from Zhou Cang's knife and escaped on horseback.

Zhou Cang saw Le Yin running away, and teased loudly: "Your Excellency, isn't it embarrassing to escape like this every time?" If I were you, I would have found a tree and hanged myself! ”

Le Yin turned back to Zhou Cang and shouted to Zhou Cang as he ran: "Zhou Cang, I won't die, let alone hang." If you come after me, I'll make your life worse than death!" ”

Hey! You old thing, you still have a hard mouth after losing the battle!

Zhou Cang scolded in his heart, but he didn't want to be frustrated by him, so he shouted: "Ah! I'm mad at me! Wait until I capture you and see if you still say anything?! ”

After saying that, he led the soldiers in pursuit.

Leyin led the soldiers to turn left and right and ran into a mountain pass.

Zhou Cang laughed secretly in his heart, "Le Yin, Le Yin, where do you think you're going?" There is only one way into this col, and if you want to get out, I'm afraid it will be difficult!

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he entered the mountain pass, he saw that Le Yin and the others had lined up in formation, and they stayed there for a long time.

I heard Le Yin say: "Zhou Cang, if you don't get off the horse and surrender, when will you stay?" ”

Zhou Cang wondered in his heart, and was just about to ask questions, when he suddenly heard the sound of a horse stepping on a bell behind him.

He looked back and saw that he had not fallen off his horse.

I saw a sentry horse rushing out behind him, about a thousand people.

But it's a cavalry!

The first member of the general, eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, big ears and shoulders, wearing an iron wolf tooth helmet, wearing chain armor, a Fang Tian painting halberd in his palm, and sitting on a Panhua jade-faced horse.

Who is it if it's not Liu Bei?

When the yellow turban thief saw that he was surrounded, he was in chaos.

Zhou Cang shouted loudly, easily controlled the noise of the Yellow Turban Thief, and dialed the horse to see Liu Bei.

"Hey, that kid over there, who are you?"

"In the next is a person from Zhuozhou, surnamed Liu Mingbei Xuande. Originally served in Guangyang County, Youzhou, the official worshiped the captain of Pingyin, and now led the troops to aid Anpingguo, but unfortunately the strong man was blocked here! Liu Bei said with a smile.

"What? Are you Liu Bei and Liu Xuande of Guangyang? ”

"Not bad! It is under that. ”

Suddenly, Zhou Cang jumped off his horse, threw the big knife aside, turned over and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I have heard the general's prestige for a long time, and Zhou Cang has longed for it. Please love the general and accept the weekly warehouse. Cang is willing to saddle the horse and follow the general! ”

It turned out that Zhou Cang had heard about Liu Bei from the Yellow Turban thief who had escaped from Zhuo County and was shocked, so he was bent on seeing him one day and following him......

Seeing Zhou Cang like this, Liu Bei jumped off the horse, helped him up, and said, "The strong man is exempt, please get up quickly." If the strong man does not dislike it, he will put down the rebellion together and support the Han family. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Zhou Cang bowed to Liu Bei three times in a row, and shouted loudly: "Lord, Cang must be the guardian of the lord." ”

"Good! Good! ”

Liu Bei subdued Zhou Cang, subdued those yellow turban thieves, and then came to see Le Yin.

Le Yin asked Liu Bei about the next step: "Xuande, what should we do next?" ”

"Originally, I wanted Han Sun and Meng Fan to pretend to relieve you and others to enter the city. Now that Zhou Cang has surrendered to me, let Zhou Cang do this! The two soldiers and horses of the four Xijie outside the mountain are ready! Liu Bei explained to Le Yin, and then said to Zhou Cang, "You go back to the city in the name of capturing Le Yin and the others, and by the way, take Han Sun, Meng Fan and others." It is said that it is the Yellow Turban Army that retreated from Zhuozhou. ”

"Yes! Lord. Zhou Cang agreed.

Liu Bei took them to the outside of the mountain, met with Xijie, Zhang Ji, Han Sun, and Meng Fan, and simply arranged tasks for them.

And the people went towards the city of Anping.

Cheng Da, the commander of the canal in the city, learned that Zhou Cang had captured Le Yin and integrated the defeated army in Zhuozhou, and he was a little worried.

He was afraid that Zhou Cang would be full-fledged and wouldn't listen to him when the time came.

Fortunately, Zhou Cang's fellow townsman, Pei An and Pei Yuanshao, who are also the leaders, are on the side to help him speak.

Cheng Da was originally a gangster, and he speculated into Taiping Road, because he was good at sneaking around and flattering, so he was very valued by the Zhang Jiao brothers.

Hearing Pei An's explanation, he relaxed his vigilance and continued to drink Pei An's drinking in the mansion for fun.

The Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city saw that Zhou Cang had captured Le Yin, and shouted excitedly in celebration.

Zhou Cang led everyone into the city.

A group of soldiers and horses went straight to the palace.

When the guards saw them coming towards the office, they hurried in to report it.

Xijie asked Zhou Cang to take Han Sun and Meng Fan to lead 500 soldiers to escort Le Yin first, and sent Zhang Ji to return to the city gate with 500 soldiers, preparing to take the city gate and let Liu Bei and others enter the city.

Zhou Cang took Han Sun and Meng Fan to escort Le Yin and came to the palace like a hurried march.

Cheng Dazheng, who heard the report, took Pei An to the door of the mansion.

Zhou Cang gave Cheng Dashen a salute and said: "Qu Shuai, these two are Han Sun and Meng Fan, the leaders of Zhuozhou's generosity, who can capture Le Yin today, all of them are two of them!" ”

"Cheng Da is very pleased to have the help of the two of them! Please! Cheng Da said on his lips, but secretly slandered in his heart: Damn! It's just two leaders, I thought it was the heavy army of the imperial court!?

When Han Sun and Meng Fan saw Cheng Da's invitation, they hurriedly took two steps forward, one left and one right sandwiched Cheng Da in the middle.

Cheng Da was caught between the two and didn't pay attention.

The guards on the side didn't pay attention to the matter.

Han Sun and Meng Fan saw the opportunity and exchanged glances with each other.

The two of them drew their waist knives at the same time and swung their knives at Cheng Da.

Cheng Da is still thinking about how to get the two closer to his side? Without noticing, the two broadswords flashed with cold light and went straight to his throat.

By the time he found out, it was too late, and it was too late for him to dodge.

"Huh!" With a bang, a head was slashed by two knives, and the bones were thrown to the side; The corpse that had lost its head spurted a foot-high injection of blood from its neck cavity and fell backwards.

It's too late to say that, it's too fast, and it's just a matter of a moment to complete this series of actions.

When Pei An and the others came back to their senses, Cheng Da was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

Pei An immediately led people to surround them.

He asked Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, what's going on?" ”

"Yuan Shao, don't be doing senseless resistance! The imperial army has already arrived outside the city, and if you resist stubbornly, you will only be killed. Zhou Cang comforted Pei An and said.

"Humph! You have taken refuge in the imperial court. ……”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the group of soldiers who had come in with them not far away, brandishing their weapons, rushing towards the place.

"Retreat!" There are only a few hundred people under his command, and it seems that there are one or two thousand people in the family, so when will he not withdraw now?

However, it is a little late to retreat now.

Behind the soldiers, a cavalry rushed past them at a gallop and headed straight for the palace.

The Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city gate had already been cleaned up by Zhang Ji and others.

Liu Bei rushed in with the cavalry and went straight to the mansion.

Seeing that he couldn't run, Pei An hurriedly ran to Zhou Cang and begged him for mercy.

"The lord has come. I'll talk about it later. However, you must fix it to your fault. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you. Zhou Cang told him.

"Good! I'll listen to you. Definitely!" Pei An said.

When the cavalry arrived, Zhou Cang took Pei An to meet Liu Bei.

"Lord, this person is a friend of Cang's childhood, and he has also heard the prestige of the lord for a long time, and is willing to follow the lord. I also hope that the lord will take it in. Zhou Cang recommended Pei An to Liu Bei.

"Pei An has seen the lord." Pei Yuanshao didn't wait for Liu Bei to agree, and called the lord when he came up.

Liu Bei saw that this person had a mediocre appearance, so he felt the friendship recommended by Zhou Cang, so he said: "Since I am a fellow villager of Zhou Cang, I should take it in." Get up!"

"Thank you, Lord." Pei An was taken in by Liu Bei and was quite grateful.
