Chapter 23: Contradicting Bao Hong
Xu Chu can be called a tiger on the ground, but there is not much difference between going into the water and sheep, after being pressed by Zhou Cang in the water and pouring a few mouthfuls of water, he was caught in a daze at the moment, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, only to find that his arms had been tied by a rope, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. Looking around, I happened to see the four people who besieged him before, led by Chen Qiong's little guy, and the other generals were lined up on the left and right.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Chu said in a loud voice, sitting on the ground with no fear.
"I have become a prisoner of the ranks, and I dare to be so arrogant, do you really think that the lord's sword can't touch the blood?" Pei Yuanshao was driven away by Xu Chu before, and shouted loudly, under the persuasion of Zhou Cang, he saw with his own eyes that Chen Qiong was indeed wise, and Pei Yuanshao, who had nowhere to go, also voted for Chen Qiong.
"If you have the ability to let go of so-and-so, just rely on a few other people, and together you are not a certain opponent, today you mistakenly fell into a treacherous scheme, tied up so-and-so, but so-and-so is not convinced!" Xu Chu didn't bird Pei Yuanshao pouted and said.
"Come on, untie this strong man!" Chen Qiong smiled when he heard this, although this fierce man is brave and invincible, but his temperament is also straightforward, he is still tied up so far, his face has not changed, and his courage is naturally not lacking, and I don't know if this person is born bold, or has few roots and tendons, and has big nerves.
"Lord, this person is very powerful, if he loosens the tie, I am afraid it will be difficult to restrain him." Zhou Cang said with a change of color.
"It's okay, just let go." Chen Qiong waved her hand, signaling that there was no need to worry.
Zhou Cang reluctantly stepped forward and untied Xu Chu's rope that bound Xu Chu, Xu Chu moved his hands and feet in surprise, looked at Chen Qiong suspiciously and said, "Tie a certain is here, and a certain person is released, what do you mean?" ”
"I was raised by Runan Taishou as a cavalry captain, inherited the order of the Taishou Lord, went out of the city to suppress bandits, but was jealous by the officials, was abandoned in the tens of thousands of yellow turban army, rushed left and right, fought a succession, beheaded the giant bandit Baijue, broke the enemy tens of thousands, broke through the enemy siege, and turned to the county, listen to what Zhongma said, Er's bravery is rare in the world, so he specially led the army to come, since you have this ability, why not serve me. An eight-foot man, when he fights on the battlefield and quells the troubled times, how can he learn from the countryside for years? ”
Chen Qiong stared at Xu Chu and said, "I Xi'er is good at fighting, and there are unrivaled people under him, so I have a little trick and talk to Er in front of the tent, I don't know what the strong man wants?" ”
"The county is also rampant, if you leave Xujiawu, it may be difficult for the fort to protect itself." Xu Chu hesitated for a moment and said, Xu Chu also felt a little bored about the boring life in Xujiawu, but if he left him, what should the Yellow Turban Thief do in the future?
"It's okay, there are no big bandits in the county, before leaving, I can lead the troops to clean up the Yellow Turban rebels near the fort, and give away a batch of weapons, and the fort is enough to protect itself." Chen Qiong said with a smile.
"Xu Chu meets the lord!" Xu Chu bowed his head, and his voice was like a bell, which shook the military tent slightly.
What, Xu Chu? Chen Qiong is not very familiar with Cao Cao's generals, but Xu Chu remembers it, firstly, this fierce man has fought with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and the other is a big Persian in the arcade game Three Kingdoms. This is a peerless fierce man who can compete with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and he is also a super-first-class military general in the Three Kingdoms, and he is afraid that only Lu Bu, a non-human, can be overpowered. Unexpectedly, he fell into his hands by mistake, and Chen Qiong wanted to sing about today's good days, or good luck or something.
"Haha, please get up quickly, I have you, why worry about the bandits?" Chen Qiong was inexplicably excited in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Chu up, laughing loudly, Sister Ni, it seems that the luck of the labor-management traverser is not bad, with this fierce man, he will charge into battle in the future, so he is not ready to be caught? is like Bai Jue, and it is only a matter of a few rounds to kill before the battle.
"Drive! ….”
After winning Xu Chu, Chen Qiong cleaned up all the Yellow Turban bandits near Xujiawu, and several bandits ranging from hundreds to thousands of people were wiped out or moved to other places. made it impossible to find the bandits in Xujiawu within a radius of nearly 100 miles, so Chen Qiong stopped his troops.
Due to the needs of logistics, although he robbed a few of the nests of the Yellow Turban rebels, the consumption of grain and grass was still quite large, and during this time, he kept cutting out the thin and weak soldiers, replenishing the strong and healthy people from the captives, and Chen Qiong expanded the number of troops to 4,500. It is more than double the size when it left Runan County. In addition to not having much armor, but after several battles and more than a month of rectification, he finally has a trace of elite.
"Hehe, I want to see what kind of look Bao Hong's wife looks like after seeing the lord." Zhou Cang rode his horse beside Chen Qiong and said with a smile.
"Throwing me into the Valley of the Oxtongue to lure the enemy, probably thinking that I have been trapped for a long time, it must be very exciting. It's just that I don't know how the war is going on in Gepi. Chen Qiong laughed, now he has nearly 5,000 combatable soldiers in his hands, all of them are trustworthy parts, for Bao Hong, there is no longer the awe when he came.
"Bao Hong's fight suppressed the lord, and he wanted to monopolize the credit, and the lord would return to Luyuan, or return directly to Runan County, what does he do?" Xu Chu's reckless man is the same as Zhou Cang's thoughts, if it weren't for Chen Qiong's tricks to capture him, the official army would be no different from a fart to him.
"The husband is in the world, if there is revenge, he will repay it, and if he has kindness, Mrs. Liu will treat me with kindness, how can I not repay it. Bao Hong is Bao Hong and cannot be confused. Chen Qiong waved her hand, and the horsewhip pointed at Luyuan, "We can't get enough grain and grass, so let's go back to Luyuan first." ”
Thousands of people swayed and galloped close to Luyuan County, and there was a sound of bows and crossbows on the city wall, obviously startled by his army.
"I am Chen Qiong of Runan, and I was ordered by Captain Bao to suppress the bandits and returned, why did you close the city gate and block my army outside the city?" Chen Qiong shouted to the city wall.
"Captain Bao is fighting fiercely with the rebel army in Gepi, why has he no reason to lead his troops back? There is no evidence for empty words, but there is an official seal letter? The general on the wall responded.
Not long after, after the other party verified the token, the city gate was opened, and before Chen Qiong could enter the city, he encountered a cavalry, and the banner was a huge Bao character, which was actually Bao Hong's personal return.
"The last general, Chen Qiong, has seen the captain!" Chen Qiong dismounted and saluted Bao Hong, who was headed by a white cloth belt wrapped around his arm, and secretly said how Bao Hong was injured, there were more than 10,000 well-equipped people under his command, did he still need to go into battle in person, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
If he were replaced, he wouldn't have done this kind of thing, in case he ran into a fierce man like Xu Chu, he would hang up if he was not careful. Even if he encounters a warrior like Chen Zhi, it is enough for him to drink a pot, and he still has to hang up if he is not careful. If he hadn't had a small number of soldiers before, where would he have personally raised his sword into battle? Chen Qiong sneered in her heart, you also have times when you are injured, but unfortunately the hit is not the key point.
"I ordered you to go into the mouth of the cow to suppress the bandits, and I don't think about actively seeking war, how to lead the army back?" When Bao Hong saw Chen Qiong standing here intact, he was first startled, and then furious. "If you passively avoid the war, I will punish you for the crime of ruining the war!"
Listening to what Bao Hong said, Zhou Cang, Chen Zhi and others all had anger on their faces, and Chen Qiong even raised his voice, "Lord Captain, the lower officials were ordered to enter the Ox Tongue Valley, and I don't know who leaked the military information, causing more than 2,000 lower officials to be surrounded by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels. Now that a little rectification is carried out, the army will be led back immediately, lest the Yellow Turban Rebellion will poison the land of Runan, how can it be called a passive avoidance of war? If you let the subordinate know who leaked the military information, so that the subordinate is surrounded in the Valley of the Oxtongue, even if he is desperate for the future, he will vow to behead him and avenge the death of the trilogy! ”
Chen Qiong stiffly contradicted, and his two eyes did not shy away from meeting Bao Hong's angry gaze. Sister Nun, give you three points of color and really open a dyeing room, Lao Tzu is under the control of Runan Taishou, you are not Lao Tzu's direct prefect, I'm afraid of you ball. I ate a dark arrow on the front line, and I really found the wrong person to spill my anger on him.
This yellow-mouthed kid dared to contradict him, Bao Hong was furious, and was about to reprimand a few more words, only to see Chen Qiong back with a tiger on his back, and a mountain-like strong man pressed a sharp blade in his hand, and his eyes glared angrily. Suddenly his heart jumped, he snorted heavily, and led his troops into the city.
