However, before the Cheng clan could finish their preparations, a scream suddenly came from near the pigsty in the backyard!

The screaming man was a servant girl.

This maid couldn't help but go to the toilet because she was flustered. In the Han Dynasty, the toilet and the pigsty were connected. The maidservant hurriedly came to the pigsty, and when she looked at it, she saw a few shimmering blades, and a few strangers of unknown origin!

"Exposed!"

The attacker cursed in a low voice, and was about to finish off the maid who was running and screaming with a knife, but when he saw the other party's body shake, he fell to the ground. It turned out that this sudden fright actually made this timid maid faint on the spot?

"Enemy attack!"

"Kill!"

Although there were some surprises, the people of the Cheng clan gathered together, relying on the swords, bows and crossbows in their hands, did not lack the courage to fight to the end with these evil guests who invaded their homes.

Now, Cheng Li clearly knows that the situation is no longer under his control. However, at this moment, Cheng Li had no choice, so he had to shake his long sword and lead more than a dozen sturdy clansmen to rush forward bravely.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Although Cheng Li is a scribe, he is not only tall and strong, but also relies on 30 years of study to cultivate an incomparably strong "Spring and Autumn Prison Heart". This kind of "Spring and Autumn Prison Heart" is used to punish and judge cases, which is very suitable. Even if it is used in battle formations, it has a unique effect.

The most important key to the rectification of an army is discipline. If the heart is peaceful, the punishment will be public. If the punishment is public, the people will obey it. If the hearts of the people are convinced, the battle will be united. With such a dignified and impartial celebrity as Cheng Li in charge, the combat effectiveness of the more than ten people around him can rise by at least thirty percent!

It's a pity that although the number of enemies attacking is not large, if it is about combat power, it is not more than three times that of the Cheng clan? !

"Cheng Li!"

Before the two sides could confront, the attacker at the head saw the sturdy scribe who was eight feet three or four inches tall in the opponent's formation, and he actually shouted in surprise. The voice was quite similar to that of the miser who found a string of big money not far away.

A guest of the Cheng family, holding a large knife, pointed at the leading attacker, and the head was a knife. But seeing the leading attacker, with a wave of his hand, a bright yellow light attached to the sharp knife light, like a quick knife cutting through the mess, chopped this still brave guest, with a knife, into four or five pieces!

The power of a knife is so far?!

The Cheng clan was stunned one by one. They couldn't imagine at all, how could there be such a terrifying sword technique in this world?

- Nope! It's not a knife technique, it's a battle qi!

Cheng Li's hand holding the sword tightened, and he had already recovered from the shock. With his eyesight, he naturally knew that the enemy in front of him at least had the strength to "kill a thousand people". Such a fierce general, as long as he is willing, can kill the Guangcheng clan with the power of one person and be unscathed.

Because, among the dozen or so strong men of the Cheng family, none of them can cultivate "Zhan Qi" at all......

"Cheng Li!"

It was just such a stunned kung fu, that terrifying enemy had already swept past five or six Cheng clan people, and flashed to Cheng Li's side. Cheng Li drew his sword and stabbed, still thinking in his heart:

- Legend has it that in the pre-Qin period, there was an assassin's kung fu called "ten steps and one kill". Looking at the figure of this thief, could it be that he has cultivated this technique......

"Boom!"

"Ahh

Cheng Li, who was quite good at swordsmanship, was subdued by the enemy. Seeing that the main heart bone was captured, the Cheng clan was at a loss for a while. Under the enemy's slogan of "kneel down and not kill", they had to surrender one by one.

Seeing that the situation had become like this, Cheng Li sighed and was silent.

- If you want to kill me this day, it is not a crime of war......

The enemy who was extremely good at "Zhan Qi", after controlling the situation in the courtyard, was also polite and asked Cheng Li:

"Are you Cheng Li and Cheng Zhongde? I'm Zang Ba, I'm offended today! ”

- Zang Ba? Isn't this a Tarzan thief?

Cheng Li didn't say a word, but he was secretly pondering in his heart.

Because of Zang Ba's glorious deeds of intercepting more than 100 people to save his father in the past, he was once honored to be wanted by the Yanzhou government. Of course, Cheng Li is not the kind of rotten Confucian who studies hard, and he still knows a little about this strong man who is famous for his bravery.

- No, this person seems to have joined the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army?

Cheng Li was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help asking:

"Zang Zhuangshi, noble, but Master Guan Hai?"

- Probably not. Otherwise, Yanzhou is in danger!

Zang Ba smiled:

"I'm not Guan Hai's subordinate."

Cheng Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, Zang Ba's next sentence made Cheng Li stunned.

"I'm from the Tianping Army."

- Tianping Army, isn't it the strong Yellow Turban Army that joins forces with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans?

While pondering, Cheng Li suddenly found the young face of the "moth thief" Zang Ba, and unconsciously came to a position that was extremely close to him. Without waiting for Cheng Li to speak, Zang Ba whispered into Cheng Li's ear:

"My family Zhang Qushuai asked the foot, do you remember: When I was young, I went to Mount Tai and held the dream of the sun with both hands?"

This sentence is tantamount to a bombshell stuffed into Cheng Li's mind!

Cheng Li's body trembled, but he asked Zang Ba without moving:

"Your family is handsome, what do you want you to say to me?"

Seeing Cheng Li's reaction, Zang Ba knew what to expect, and said casually:

"My family Qu Shuai said: Do you remember that when you were young, you went to Mount Tai and held the dream of the sun with both hands?"

Cheng Liqiang pretended to be calm. Unexpectedly, Zang Ba then said:

"My family Qu Shuai also said that the reason why you didn't have a reputation in the first half of your life is because you haven't found the lord who made you realize your dream."

- What?

- Lord Ying Meng?

Cheng Li is not a superstitious person. Of course, whether there is superstition here or not needs to be compared with the social climate of the time.

Because of the use of modern literature and scriptures as the textbook for official examinations, people at that time had a considerable belief in theories such as "the five virtues are always true". Even a person who is not superstitious will pay enough respect to the existence of ghosts and gods. The so-called "atheism", in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, could not find a market at all.

Therefore, when someone suddenly revealed the secret that Cheng Li had never told others in his heart, the shock in his heart could be imagined.

Of course, Cheng Li would not immediately make any special reaction. A scholar whose mind is calm enough to his level will never lose ground because of this. However, this matter can become a starting point, a starting point for Cheng Li to slowly identify with the Tianping Army.

So, how did Zhang Qiang suddenly think of asking Zang Ba to bring such a sentence to this Mr. "Cheng Li"?

Let's go back two days.

After Zang Ba finished the discussion, he took the initiative to ask to meet Zhang Qiang and put forward a bold idea:

- Surprise attack on Dong'e County!

Historically, the Taishan thieves under Zang Ba were strong in large-scale mobile battles. Combined with his extraordinary bravery, he even carried forward the surprise attack operation, especially the medium-distance surprise attack operation in the mountainous area, to an extremely effective point.

In the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Zang Ba attacked Xiao Jian, who had seized Jucheng in Xuzhou, and directly shook Lu Bu, who was in full swing at that time. Later, in the face of tens of thousands of Yuan Tan's army in Qingzhou, Zang Ba relied on his powerful surprise attack ability to seriously threaten Yuan Tan's back line, and dragged Yuan Tan's tens of thousands of troops in the Qingzhou area, so that Yuan Tan did nothing during the entire battle of Guandu.

Now, under the command of Zhang Ba, Zang Ba has not given full play to his abilities. However, when Zhang Qiang thought of Zang Ba's prestige in history, he did not object to Zang Ba's quest for war. What he did was just to ask the local Taiping Daoist who was more familiar with the situation in Dong'a to come back and provide information.

Then, Zhang Qi heard more information about Cheng Li. Because when the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city a few months ago, he leisurely recited the scriptures aloud in the city where the battle was most intense, and he became famous for a while. Therefore, although the local believer did not see Cheng Li with his own eyes, he was quite familiar with this person's information.

The word Zhongde?

Eight feet three inches tall with a beautiful beard?

There are two sons, one of whom is called Cheng Wu?
