Zhang Xuan did not return to Jixian County, but continued to go to Zuohuang Mountain, Lu Mingyue snatched his beloved horse, how could he swallow this evil breath.

Although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, Zhang Xuan never thinks that he is a gentleman, he has revenge and revenge, he has kindness to repay kindness, and he has always had clear grievances, and he can't wait for a moment.

Without Lu Qing's drag, he did not have any scruples, all the way to the west stride, in the evening, he had walked out of Gunma Mountain, and gradually arrived at the place of competition with Lu Mingyue, this is a basin with a radius of dozens of miles, surrounded by mountains, covered with endless forests, only in the middle there is a wide open space of more than ten zhang, and a straight official road is built in it.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow had dyed the mountain beams and forests with a magnificent layer of lilac, making the mountains and rivers extraordinarily beautiful and magnificent, but Jang Hyun had no intention of appreciating the beauty, he just walked with his head down, he had to get out of the basin before dawn.

At this moment, a shrill whistle swept over his head, and he was secretly surprised, this was Mingdi, could it be that he met Lu Mingyue's secret whistle?

He hurriedly looked at where Ming Di came from, and saw more than a dozen soldiers pouring out of the forest, looking at him coldly, Zhang Xuan recognized at a glance that it was not Lu Mingyue's bandits, but the Sui army.

His heart moved, could it be that Luo Yi led the army to save Lu Qing? Although the old family was killed by Lu Mingyue, Lu Qing's disappearance will inevitably alarm his father Lu Zhuo, and with Lu Zhuo's influence, Luo Yi's dispatch of troops is expected.

"Who are you?" A dozen scout cavalrymen rushed in the distance and asked loudly.

Zhang Xuan immediately turned around and walked towards the Sui soldiers, "I'm a guard of the Yan Palace, I want to see your boss!" ”

The leader of the team looked at him for a moment, and ordered, "Take him to the governor!" ”

To Zhang Xuan's surprise, the commander of this Sui army was not Luo Yi, but Guo Xuan, the governor of Youzhou.

Guo Xuan is about fifty years old, thin and strong, full of white hair, and a pair of eagle-like eyes are particularly cold and sharp, as if he can see through Zhang Xuan standing in front of him.

Guo Xuan was assassinated by an assassin on the street half a month ago. However, his luck was good, although the carriage overturned and eight of the guards died, Guo Xuan was only slightly injured. It's just that he has many enemies, and he has no conclusion after half a month of investigation.

But in the process of investigating the assassins, Guo Xuan got a piece of information that the bandit leader Lu Mingyue led thousands of his men to quietly infiltrate the territory of Zhuo County, which made him immediately vigilant.

On the one hand, he was very suspicious that the assassin was Lu Mingyue. On the other hand, when the army gathered in Zhuo County and the Holy Lord came to Jixian County in person, Lu Mingyue's appearance would seriously damage his image in the heart of the Holy Lord, and Guo Xuan immediately decided to send troops to exterminate Lu Mingyue.

However, his information is not very detailed, he only knows that Lu Mingyue is in Gunma Mountain's lair, but he pounced, there is no mountain bandit in the cottage, which makes Guo Xuan distressed, and he also knows the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. But I don't know where Lu Mingyue's other lair is?

It was obviously unrealistic to withdraw the army back to Jixian County, so Guo Xuan had to send scouts to the vicinity to investigate clues, and at this moment, one of his scouts met Zhang Xuan, who was rushing to Zuohuang Mountain.

"Can you be sure that Lu Mingyue's lair is in Zuohuang Mountain?"

Guo Xuan's cold gaze stared at the young man in front of him, he called himself King Yan's guard, serving as the crown prince Qianniu, although the other party took out the waist card, Guo Xuan was still a little suspicious in his heart, what are the guards of King Yan doing here?

Zhang Xuan saw the suspicion in Guo Xuan's eyes, and he didn't deliberately explain. Said lightly: "I came from Zuohuang Mountain, my war horse was snatched away by Lu Mingyue, I can't swallow this breath, I want to take the war horse back." ”

"Then why didn't he kill you?" Guo Xuan asked coldly.

"Because I inadvertently saved him at an inn in Jixian County. I was living next door to him at the time, and I gave him a packet of wound medicine, about half a month ago, and for this reason, he let me go. ”

Guo Xuan frowned slightly, could it be that the person who assassinated him was really Lu Mingyue. He pondered for a moment and then said to Zhang Xuan: "Okay! I'll believe you once, as for whether you are King Yan's guard, I will naturally check, but I said ugly things in front, if you are Lu Mingyue's sentry, I will not hesitate to cut off your head. ”

Zhang Xuan didn't care about his attitude, he said to Guo Xuan: "Since Governor Guo believes in me, then please lend me a horse and give me a weapon, a gun and a halberd!" ”

Guo Xuan glanced at him, turned around and ordered, "Give him a halberd!" ”

A soldier handed a forty-pound halberd to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan lifted it and shook his head, "It's too light, but there is a seventy-pound halberd?" ”

Guo Xuan was really surprised in his heart, and shouted again: "Give him the grain pressing gun!" ”

Guo Xuan was born in a civil official, a little bit of martial arts, he did not have seventy catties of weapons in his team, but there happened to be a seventy catties of big iron gun in the grain truck, called the grain pressure gun, a moment, a soldier carried a heavy black iron gun and handed it to Zhang Xuan.

Although Zhang Xuan currently has only one breakthrough in cohesion, his qualifications are extremely high, and his strength is a few points stronger than Wang Bodang, who has two breakthroughs, Zhang Xuan took the big iron gun, turned over on his horse, and hugged Guo Xuan and said: "You can set off at any time!" ”

Guo Xuan nodded, and immediately ordered the whole army to set off, and five thousand soldiers marched towards Zuohuang Mountain under the guidance of Zhang Xuan.

At noon the next day, the 5,000 army gradually arrived at Zuohuang Mountain, less than ten miles away from Zuohuang Mountain, Zhang Xuan, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly waved his hand and stopped the team moving forward. ”

"Guo Dudu, look over there!"

Zhang Xuan pointed to a forest on the mountainside a hundred paces away, and saw a large flock of egrets rising into the air, which was clearly someone who alarmed the birds in the forest, and it would not be a few people, at least hundreds of people or thousands.

Guo Xuan's face changed, could it be that there was an ambush ahead? He looked carefully ahead, there was a valley in front of him, about two or three miles long, it was an easy place to ambush, and he immediately ordered: "The first team of scouts go to the front to investigate, be careful!" ”

More than a dozen skilled scouts rushed into the woods and rushed towards the frightened birds, but only for a moment, only to hear a miserable scream, Zhang Xuan shouted, "Retreat!" ”

Five thousand Sui soldiers retreated dozens of steps, quickly suppressed the position, the soldiers on both sides raised their shields, and soon, more than a dozen guards rushed back, missing two people, and the scout team headed was reporting to Guo Xuanyu: "Governor Qiyu, there is really an ambush on the mountain, I don't know how many people and horses?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a piercing gong sound, a general took the lead, followed by hundreds of mountain bandits, and quickly rushed out of the mountains and forests, Zhang Xuan thought that it was Lu Mingyue who led the troops to kill it, and then looked closely, it was not Lu Mingyue.

This is a general who is two meters tall, with a purple face, broad and majestic shoulders, dressed in iron armor, holding a gold-backed half-moon knife, and a black black horse with a strong physique in his crotch.

"I am Shanggu Song King Kong, who dares to fight with me?"

The solo challenge is a general combat method left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In a war, the commanders have clear responsibilities, the commanders are responsible for strategizing and commanding the overall situation, while the generals are responsible for charging into battle and killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.

Winning a war, enjoying the glory is often only the boss, the soldiers are just chess pieces, slightly unfair, as a general, they also need to accumulate personal prestige, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is one thing, and the opponent's general single-handedly and defeating the other party, you can be famous, and get great glory.

Therefore, the way of fighting heads-up is highly valued by the generals, and has gradually formed a kind of rule of war, although it does not determine the outcome of the war, it is still generally accepted, and it is not only conducive to improving personal prestige, but also conducive to motivating morale.

If a general sends a heads-up invitation, the other party will generally fight, of course, you can also not fight, directly urge the army to cover up, but it will inevitably be ridiculed by people, although the war is cruel, but more or less pay attention to the glory of the soldiers.

Song Jingang is one of the three kings of Hebei Wei Dao'er under the account of the first fierce general, nicknamed the purple-faced King Kong, so that a eighty-pound gold-backed half-moon knife, there is the courage of ten thousand people, he came to Zhuo County to find Lu Mingyue this time, is on the order of Wei Dao'er to negotiate with Lu Mingyue to borrow grain conditions, but unexpectedly met Guo Xuan led the army to come to clear the suppression.

Song Jingang swung the big knife and urged Ma Li to shout: "To go to Zuohuang Mountain, you must pass the knife in my palm." ”

Guo Xuan also has more than a dozen generals, they have heard of the name of Song Jingang, today everyone saw this person, more than a dozen generals are eager to try, have asked the governor to fight, Guo Xuan nodded, "General Wen can go to meet him!" ”

A white horse galloped out, and immediately there was a general in his thirties, named Wen Ji, a native of Zhuo County, who worshiped the eagle and hit the general, making a sixty-pound red tasseled silver spear, strong in martial arts, and the first general under Guo Xuan.

Wen Ji shouted, "Song thief is killed!" ”

He urged the horse to gallop forward, stabbed with a spear, Song Jingang sneered, waved his knife to fight, and beat the war drums on both sides, but the two only fought for more than a dozen rounds, Wen Ji gradually ran out of strength, and the defeat had appeared, he took advantage of the opportunity of the two staggered to turn around and fled, but Song Jingang's knife was extremely fast, and he hit the horse's buttocks with a backhand.

The white horse screamed violently, raised his front hooves high, and knocked Wen Ji to the ground, Song Jingang was overjoyed, and slashed with a knife, "Go die!" ”

Seeing that Wen Ji was about to die under Song Jingang's knife, at this moment, an iron spear suddenly struck, 'Dang! With a loud bang, the iron spear blocked Song Jingang's fatal knife.

The person who came was Zhang Xuan, who saved Wen Ji's life at a critical moment, both of them were shocked to the point that their arms were numb, and the war horse retreated again and again, Wen Ji seized this opportunity and fled back to the main formation, and the bright silver spear was also thrown on the battlefield.

Guo Xuan's face turned pale with shock, he thought that Wen Ji would definitely die, but Zhang Xuan made a timely move, so that Wen Ji escaped with his life, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and looked this young man up and down again, staring at him intently.

Song Jingang was very shocked in his heart, he never thought that Guo Xuan would have such a fierce general under him, and he could block his full strength, you must know that against Wen Ji just now, he only used seven points of strength.

Song Jingang looked Zhang Xuan up and down, and saw that he was tall and straight, heroic, and talented, but he was riding an ordinary war horse, and the iron gun in his hand was also rusty, and more importantly, this person was not wearing armor, only wearing a coarse linen robe, wearing a flat scarf, and he was a young man he had never seen before.

Song Jingang pointed with a big knife and shouted: "Who are you, report your name!" ”
