The two gangs of rabble were very happy to kill, and they seemed to be enthusiastic, but in fact they had no technical content, and some basic tactical applications could not be obeyed, and the battle was only brutal, and the casualties on both sides were very serious; "Kill!" , a crisp roar, accompanied by the galloping sound of war horses, Ma Chao led three thousand black turban troops to gallop on horseback, the tide generally split the formation of the rebels, and a piece of enemy fell in the neighing of people; Probably aware of his own problems, after Ou Xing consciously carried out in the middle of the military formation, the large array of 40,000 people was very thick, and only 3,000 cavalry was not enough to break through his protective array, but he forgot that there was another group of elite soldiers behind the Black Turban Army!

In the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, Sun Jian's headquarters of 3,000 men and horses can be called elite soldiers! Elite of a hundred battles! This is a group of thugs rolling out of the sea of corpses and blood, but their leader is more powerful than them, so they have been suppressing them, and now the iron cage is open, and the tiger has entered the forest!

"Kill the district star! Kill the district star! Kill the district star! Li's voice shouted: "The dragons have no leader, and the rebels will be defeated!" Kill! ”

He is purely idle and bored, fanning the flames, can he not react in his heart when he hears his shouts? The guards around him gathered more and more, and it seemed that he still cherished his life very much; What I want is this subtle change, if Ou Xing does not move, he will be disappointed, this kind of action is undoubtedly to tell the rebels again, our strength is not as good as the other party, I am ready to flee The rebels are affected by it, from attack to defense, passive defense; It seems that the defense of the rebels has been strengthened, and it is more difficult for the officers and troops to break through, but! As long as they break their formation in one go, threatening the life of Ou Xing, Ou Xing will either flee or die, and the rebels will be defeated and defeated!

The murderous Sun Jian's troops completely frightened those rabble, and there was only life and death on the battlefield, and there was no fun! Everyone who survives the war is a tough man! Those hideous-looking guys who forgot to die, it's really terrifying!

"If you don't want to die, give it to me!" , Ou Xing looked at the cavalry of the Black Turban Army and Sun Jianjun who were constantly advancing and impacting, his originally calm expression was gone, holding high the anti-flag meant that he was either alive or dead, and there was no third way to go, especially him, the initiator; I guess I didn't listen to the shouting throat, the officers and soldiers they easily defeated were crazy and rushed towards their defense line wave after wave, even the defense became very difficult, at this time everyone was thinking about how to survive, who would listen to him?

"Give it to me! Give it to me! Ou Xing carried a sword and slashed several fearful soldiers in a row, and roared angrily: "My righteous army, his anti-thief!" There is no way back! Defeat them and we will survive! ”

In the final analysis, it is a person who has read the book, and it is very tricky to demagogue, and the rebels have improved slightly under the combination of soft and hard, but unfortunately Ou Xing has been targeted, "Whoosh-!" A feathered arrow pierced his shoulder with a sound that broke through the air!

"Whoosh!" , a more swift sound of breaking the air, click, the rebel army in response to the sound of the big break! A short gun stuck in the ground not far away!

Look at the source of the feather arrow and the owner of the short spear, Daddy Huang glanced at Ma Chao with approval, and then shouted: "Ou Xing is dead!" Ou Xing is dead! Only the head of the thief will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated! Lay down your arms and surrender quickly! ”

Ou Xing was stiff, and after falling off the horse, he broke the feather arrow, and shouted loudly: "Don't listen to his gossip to confuse the public!" Resist me! Kill! ”

This kind of brave style made the rebels morale boosted and their blood rushed, but at this time, someone poured a basin of cold water on them Sun Jian's big knife was already on Ou Xing's neck, sneering again and again!

The boss has fallen into the hands of the enemy, what resistance does the others have? Those who fled, ran, and surrendered, and those who dared to resist were all killed by the red-eyed Nanyang army like cattle, and a vigorous peasant uprising was quelled after only about half a month; Ou Xing was escorted to Li Kai, holding his neck, neither speaking nor saluting, but the feather arrow on his shoulder made him occasionally pull the corners of his mouth, which seemed to be in pain, Li Kai waved away the soldiers around him who wanted to make Ou Xing bow down with great interest, and walked in front of him; Smiled and asked, "I said that what you do will be written by me for you!" Believe it, right? District Star! Your so-called ideal is simply a selfish idea, something built on the suffering of others, which should not exist! You say, yes and no? ”

"Humph!" , Ou Xing snorted lightly: "I'm afraid what I want to do is something that many people want to do but don't dare to do!" I asked myself, I wasn't wrong! It's you who are at fault! It's this Han Dynasty that's wrong! I just want to get what belongs to me back! ”

"Your stuff? What's yours? Joke! You will never be able to repay your bounty to your parents, but what you are doing now has disgraced them! The books you read and the knowledge you learn are the culture inherited from the Han Dynasty, how can you repay them?

The land you farm, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the house you live in, everything this country provides for you! He is also the one who provides you with a peaceful environment for growth, but what you are doing now is precisely to disturb this peace and impose your so-called pain on others!

You! What a heinous sin! There are too many people you are ashamed of, and you dare to be so stubborn? I don't want to talk to you anymore! Pull it out and cut it off! Take me to write a war report and submit it to the court! Li Kai waved his sleeves, and the guards around him framed Ou Xing on the left and right, and dragged him out; Maybe when he was dying, Ou Xing figured out something, so he closed his eyes and didn't say a word, just waiting for the door of death to open for himself!

After the counterinsurgency is completed, the credit may not be small, but there will be no part of Li Xiaoxian in these credits, and he can only write Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, firstly, he himself does not want to find any trouble, and secondly, he himself has not raised filial piety, and he will not get any good rewards, so it is better not to; "Brother Wentai! See how? After writing it casually, he handed the book to Sun Jian, who was a little embarrassed after looking at it: "Mr. Xiao, this is a little unrealistic, right?" Sun doesn't seem to have such a big credit! ”

The credit for capturing and beheading the thief and breaking the enemy's formation is all counted on him, and this credit is not light, and he himself led only 3,000 people, and most of the credit for defeating the rebels is actually attributed to the Nanyang army, but Li Kai didn't ask for so much, he wanted very little; This is for good intentions, Li Mouren rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "You also know that Nanyang County is very poor now, and there are many adopted homeless, so I need captured rebels, do me a favor, these captives can't be handed over to you!" Brother Wentai, don't blame me! ”

"A favor? I wonder how Mr. Little is going to help? Need someone Sun", Sun Jian asked with great interest, with a smile on his face, the corners of Li Kai's mouth curled slightly: "It's nothing, a few days ago, Wang Rui, Lord Wang Zhoumu, promised to sow us some grain in Nanyang, I need to move these grains back!" 600,000 displaced people can count on such a small amount of food! ”

Having said that, Sun Jian also understood what it meant, this thing has set its sights on Jiangxia County! Jiangxia County has a lot of grain in stock, and he knows this, but he didn't expect that Li really planned to attack Jiangxia County!

"Hahaha! Mr. Xiao gave me such a big credit, and also explained to the imperial court to help me explain the matter of crossing the border, Wentai is deeply grateful, but I can't stay here for a long time! There are often Wuxi thieves in the Changsha area, and the duty of protecting the territory and the people cannot be discarded! So, that's it! Sun Jian stood up and said goodbye; Where the duty is safe, Li will not leave Brother Wentai! Come and see each other, and you must have a drink! Li Kai sent Sun Jian away with a smile, and when he turned around, he summoned the generals to ask: "What are the casualties?" Captive geometry? ”

"In this battle, our army lost more than 5,800 people, including serious wounded and incurable, and more than 20,000 people were slightly wounded, and there were very few unwounded, and more than 18,000 enemy soldiers were captured and more than 6,000 people were killed; There are still many people who have taken advantage of the chaos to escape! Huang Zhongyu reports; The casualties are huge! Li's brows furrowed, and he knocked on the weapon beside him: "The names of the dead are recorded, and the reward for them will not be less, and 3,000 people will be specially sent to transport them back, and the rest of the people will follow me to receive the reward!" ”

Soon, outside Xiling City, that is, outside Jiangxia County, there was a group of Qiu Ba, waving flags, people boiling and neighing, and a huge number of people who temporarily led Jiangxia Taishou were named Cai Mao, this old man had just arrived, because Liu Jingsheng and Wang Ruiming were fighting in Xiangyang City, and the capable Huang Zu had to give him a pressure on the field, so the task of foreign aid was handed over to him; Liu Biao's purpose is to let Cai Mao develop another force in Jiangxia County, and it may be a bit of an inopportune time for this brother to come as a backup, it just so happened that the district star rebelled, and after Jiangxia County was transferred by Huang Zu, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses left, and all of them were old and weak; Originally, he was already in a hurry and asked Xiangyang for help, but two groups of fierce men came to Nanyang and Changsha, and it didn't take long to kill Ou Xing, but now it seems that this is not a good thing! It's clearly coming for itself!

Standing at the head of the city, the mighty Cai Mao raised his voice and shouted: "Who is coming? Why knock? ”

A carriage swayed over, slowly stopped, and a very gentle white-faced scholar walked out and said with a smile: "Dare to ask who is in the city?" Is it the new Jiangxia Taishou-sama? A certain Nanyang Li Kai, Li Xiaoxian! Come and see you! ”

Okay! Cai Mao's eyes rolled, I'm afraid that this thing can't be good! Who is Li Xiaoxian, he has seen it, why Liu Biao was knocked down from the altar of the state pastor, he also witnessed it with his own eyes, originally the Nanyang Army was under the banner of Yuan Zi, he thought it was Yuan Shu who came, but he didn't expect a worse one to come!

The army was pressing, Cai Mao's palms were full of sweat, he didn't dare to believe that if he shut up and didn't answer, or if he didn't shut up, what would happen if he didn't come out, the other party was a bold character, and Cai Mao smiled: "It's Mr. Li!" Under Cai Mao! It's been a long time! ”

"Ahh Yes? It turned out to be General Cai! It's a blessing, it's a blessing! Li Kai arched his hand with a smile: "I waited to follow the instructions of the imperial court to come to Jiangxia to suppress the bandits, and I just completed the counterinsurgency, but I can't go back because of the lack of food and grass!" So I can only come to you to fight the autumn breeze! I don't think Jiangxia County will be so stingy, right? ”

This is telling the truth, the Nanyang Army now has no food and grass at all, because Ou Xing's circle is a bit big, and all his grain and grass are wrapped in, and the half-moon grain and grass that he originally only brought is boiled into gruel in the end so that these men can barely eat a little, which is very pitiful!

Cai Mao was speechless, Jiangxia County has a lot of grain, it's not a secret, but he has never seen such a thick-skinned person, directly blocking the door and asking for food! This is a large-scale armed campaign!

Seeing that Cai Mao didn't say a word, Li raised his eyebrows: "I'll tell you the truth!" General Cai! We're hungry! It's a fact! Something happened to you Jiangxia County, and we, as neighbors, are bleeding and sweating, so you can't let us cry! ”

The words are pitiful, but in fact, it has risen to the threat of force, Cai Mao knows that if he doesn't make a statement, maybe this Jiangxia County will be troubled by these people, and he will not be able to live in peace, and even dare to fight with him; Helpless, Cai Mao could only force a smile: "It's not that Cai doesn't know how to be hospitable!" It's just that the soldiers and horses brought by Mr. are too murderous, and I'm afraid of disturbing the people in the city, so how about we talk about it in detail when you come to the city? ”

"Sir, no! I'm afraid that there is fraud in it! This Cai Mao is Liu Biao's relative, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not be a secret killer because of what happened last time! Huang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, for fear that someone Li would take a risk and something big would happen; Cai Mao is very timid, although he is talented, but he is too timid, as long as you are there, he will not dare to take any action against me, he will only treat me like a guest! Hahaha! Super! Come with me! Li Kai smiled disappreciatively, and walked towards Jiangxia County with Ma Chao; The drawbridge was lowered in the city and the city gate was opened, Cai Mao bowed very humbly: "After a long time, I don't know if Mr. Li is okay?" ”

"How could it be bad? I ate and slept well, but I was a little tired from coming to Jiangxia County this time, no, I asked General Cai to make compensation! Brother Cai, don't blame! As soon as they met, Li Kai poured bitter water:

"Nanyang! Poor! I didn't even want to make a new dress to wear during the Chinese New Year! Don't you know, Nanyang has become a refugee shelter now, with more than 600,000 displaced people, and it is difficult to feed so many mouths, so I can't bring people out to eat and drink! It's a pity that more than 5,000 people died in Jiangxia for a meal of food and clothing! ”

While talking, Li Mouren shed two lines of tears, this is the true feeling, although he ruthlessly let the Nanyang Army fight to the death with the rebels, but people's hearts are always long, so many dead people, just for training, he has no guilt in his heart It is impossible!

As soon as the words changed, Li Kai stared at Cai Mao deadly: "General Cai!" I need a million stone grain and grass now to feed those displaced people, help, they are all from Jingzhou, not outsiders! The state pastor also promised me this, but there is no news so far, even if I beg you! ”

Cai Mao's eyes rolled, his mother's reading person is different, his courage is so fat, it's just a bag! One million stones of grain and grass, thanks to which he can open his mouth, touching his nose, Cai Mao said embarrassedly: "Although I sympathize with you, after all, it is not me who is in charge of Jingzhou!" A million stone is too much, right? ”

"This is righteousness! Could it be that Brother Cai wants to put millions of people to death? Li Kai suddenly shouted: "General Cai! Isn't it the duty of my generation to protect the territory and the people, and to help the needy? ”

Cai Mao snorted twice, and then said: "The grain stored in Jiangxia County is all the seed grain used in the spring ploughing period, if I give it to you, won't it hurt more people?" So be it! How about I make my own decisions and give you 100,000 stones? That's my limit! 100,000 stones, a lot! You can't push me anymore! ”

"100,000 stones?" , Li Kai shook his head: "Our army only has 5,000 dead people, and there are as many as 10,000 wounded, and there are no wounded people, so much blood has been shed, you tell me that a life is only worth 20 stone of grain and grass?" Brother Cai, are you kidding me? At least 800,000 stones! The rest is enough to make seeds! ”

"Eight hundred thousand stones? You're trying to kill me! Cai Mao shook her head, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "200,000 stones, no more!" I'm risking my life to help you! Mr. Li, you have to forgive me! ”

"600,000 stones!" , Li Kaibi drew a posture of six: "Most of the grain and grass in the entire Jingzhou are hoarded in Jiangxia County, don't tell me that there are only one million stones of grain and grass!" Don't forget, if we didn't help you, there was a good chance that the rebels would have taken the food!

That's 40,000 enemies! Don't tell me that without our help, these three or five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people in Jiangxia County can defeat the rebels! Be kind! Brother Cai! Man must not be ungrateful! ”

Cai Mao's face was red and white, if this matter could not be solved as soon as possible, he was afraid that there would be disaster, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, Cai Mao sighed: "Lao Cai's head is enough to be saved, I won't say 400,000, 500,000 stone grain and grass, this is the limit!" If not, then ask Mr. Li to kill me first! ”

"Hahaha! Brother Cai is benevolent! What a kindness! Li Mou patted Cai Mao's shoulder and laughed, the admiration continued, Cai Mao was also laughing but very reluctantly, this thing is really worse than the thief!

The two of them discussed the price of goods like a businessman, but the buyer did not give money, but only some words of praise, while the seller had to give it as if it were an employment relationship because of various things, but the mercenary came to the door by himself, not the employer willingly; Because he was afraid that Li would take the opportunity to enter the city and stay behind, 500,000 stone grain and grass were transported by Jiangxia Army, and the Nanyang Army, which was upgraded from a homeless person to an army, was still the kind of simple people who cherished food in their bones, and when they saw so much food, they immediately cheered like thunder; In a battle, although there were many casualties, but also got a lot of grain and grass to make up for it, which was not bad, in Cai Mao's cold sweat and Li's satisfied expression, the two sides said goodbye and embarked on different paths; Sun Jian, who rushed to Changsha County, was calculated, and this calculation had a great impact, especially for Li! Sun Jian, this bastard, swallowed him 500,000 stones, grain and grass!
