Chapter 53: Huang Zhong
On an official road, a long line was moving slowly, and there were many large carriages in this procession, and in the near distance you could see that these carriages were very heavy, because they pressed deep marks on the official road. This army is obviously an escort army, but this escort army is very elite, on the continuous avenue for several miles, there is no loud sound, and the formation of the troops is very uniform, at the forefront of this army is a middle-aged man, he is eight feet tall, powerful and powerful, carrying a strong bow on his back, and a knife across his waist. This person is none other than Huang Zhong, the fourth of the five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom, whose bow name is Skylark Bow, and his sword name is Cirrus Cloud Knife.
It turned out that Huang Zhong was ordered by Changsha Taishou to escort tribute to Luoyang, the ruling center of the Han Dynasty. Originally, such a trivial matter as escorting tribute did not need Huang Zhong to escort it, although there are many bandits and bandits in the Han Dynasty now, but they are all small-scale bandits and bandits, they have no courage and no ability to grab the tribute of the imperial court! However, there are accidents in everything, some time ago, even the niece of the general He Jin was robbed, although the tribute is more important than the general's niece He Ling, but he is also afraid of an accident, so Huang Zhong had to be ordered to come out to escort the tribute.
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and several people dressed as scouts appeared in front of Huang Zhong's eyes, and some of them had blood on them. As soon as those scouts arrived in front of Huang Zhong, before they could speak, Huang Zhong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"My lord, we found other scouts twenty miles ahead, because they were also wearing military uniforms, so we thought they were friendly troops, and we didn't pay much attention to them, who knows, they are not official soldiers, they took advantage of our relaxation of guard, and suddenly attacked, and only a few of us were left of our team of ten brothers, my lord, you have to avenge your brothers." Eventually, the scout who spoke began to cry, and the other scouts followed suit.
Huang Zhong's face became gloomy, and he asked, "How is the combat effectiveness of those bandits?" ”
A younger scout cried and said: "My lord, their combat effectiveness is not worse than ours, even more powerful than us, the reason why we broke through is not only because we were attacked and lost manpower at the beginning, but also because they are indeed better than us, if we fight hard with them, it is estimated that all of us will have to stay." Therefore, in order to allow us to escape and report the news, the chief personally led a few brothers to stay behind and break the queen. My lord, why do you want to avenge them? ”
Huang Zhong's brows tightened, he knew the combat power of his scouts, after all, he personally brought out these people. It seems that this group of people is not so easy to deal with, Huang Zhong thought silently in his heart. He looked at a few crying scouts a little impatiently, and said loudly: "Manly man, blood does not shed tears, crying and crying, shut up for me." ”
Sure enough, Huang Zhong's majesty was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and immediately, those crying scouts stopped. Huang Zhong watched them stop and exhaled.
He turned his head to look at the supreme commander of the scouts, Nie Yuan, and said, "Nie Yuan, Nie Bairen will obey the order. ”
The rough-looking Nie Yuan replied loudly: "The subordinates are here." ”
Huang Zhonglang said: "I order, you lead the scouts to set off, check the enemy situation, remember, each team of scouts must have at least twenty people, you know?" ”
Nie Yuan replied loudly: "No, my subordinates respect the order." ”
"Come with me, boys." With Nie Yuan's order, a large group of scouts set off.
At the same time, Li Ziqiang also received news from the scout.
"What, you said you met a scout from the official army." Li Ziqiang asked in surprise.
The scout replied, "Yes, young master, and this scout is a little different from what we've encountered before. ”
Li Ziqiang asked, "What's the difference?" ”
The scout replied respectfully: "Young village master, first of all, the combat effectiveness of these scouts is even more powerful than all the officers and soldiers we have encountered before. Secondly, these people are not afraid of death, and despite our best efforts to keep them, they have escaped. ”
Li Ziqiang frowned and asked, "How did they escape?" ”
The scout replied, "They left six men behind, and the other four ran away." But even those six people left us with a lot of trouble, and we managed to restrain them. ”
Li Ziqiang then asked: "Then did you catch those six people, and did you ask anything?" ”
The scout smiled bitterly and said, "Please forgive the young master, we didn't catch them, they all died in battle, and none of them were willing to survive." ”
Li Ziqiang exhaled and said lightly: "In other words, you don't have any information about them. ”
The scout bowed his hand again and said, "Please forgive the young master." ”
Li Ziqiang laughed lightly and said lightly: "It's none of your business, you are doing a good job, okay, you go down, pay attention to vigilance." ”
Li Ziqiang looked at the scouts who left, turned to Luther and said, "Pass the order, the scouts will strengthen their vigilance, and the number of scouts in each team will be doubled." ”
Luther frowned and said, "Young village master, but in this case, our vigilance will be narrowed. ”
Li Ziqiang said with a smile: "If it shrinks, it will shrink, people are the most important, go down and give orders." ”
Luther replied loudly: "No, the young master, I thank the young master for my brothers." ”
Li Ziqiang smiled: "They are all their own brothers, what is there to be thankful for, go quickly." ”
Subsequently, all the scouts on Li Ziqiang's side also set off, Li Ziqiang looked at the marching troops, and ordered: "The whole army slows down." He wanted his army to recuperate, and not to be tired and lie down before he had already fought with the officers and soldiers.
However, although Li Ziqiang was a little worried about the sudden appearance of the Han official army, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, even a famous general of the Three Kingdoms like Huang Zu was cut down by them, and he still had nothing to be afraid of for those miscellaneous officials and soldiers. But it was this kind of thinking that made Li Ziqiang suffer the first defeat in his life, and also made him clearly understand himself.
Hearing that there was an official army nearby, Pei Yuanshao, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, immediately became energetic, and he said to Li Ziqiang: "Young village master, otherwise, you can let me lead the wolf army to try their catties, I don't want more, you can send three hundred wolf soldiers and five hundred soldiers to me." ”
Hearing Pei Yuanshao's words, Zhou Cang immediately coaxed: "Oh, Pei Fatty, it's okay." Now it's all about the credit. ”
Pei Yuanshao glared at Zhou Cang angrily and said: "You are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry, you already have a battle achievement, don't fight with me, how about it, Shaozhai master, is it okay?" ”
Li Ziqiang said lightly: "Brother Pei, we don't know what the other party's situation is now, so it's better for us to be stable." ”
Pei Yuanshao was furious when he saw that Li Ziqiang actually didn't let him lead the army, and he said loudly: "Young village master, I am willing to make a military order, if I don't break that official army, I Pei Fatzi will not come back." ”
