Chapter 50: The Lost Bonds

β€”β€”Time goes back fourteen years ago, Niuhu Mountain, Jiangling Countyβ€”β€”

Niugu Mountain in Jiangling County is a mountain peak on the south side of Jing Mountain, with gourd valley in the southeast and Huashigang in the northeast. Fourteen years later, the two outstanding princes of the Li clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty will launch a huge campaign near this place with more than 200,000 troops, but at this time, this vicinity is occupied by a gang of bandits, known to the local people, Niu Gu thieves.

The leader of the Niu Gu thieves is called Wang Hun, nicknamed "Wang Dare to Dang", which means that there is nothing in the world that he does not dare to do. This person is quite powerful, good at using two hammers weighing 100 catties, his martial arts are not bad, and his mind is not bad, to put it mildly, even if this person enlists in the Jizhou Army under Xie An for 14 years, he also has a place, although he is not as good as Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Ma Dan, but at least he is also a general at the level of Ou Peng and Zhang Dong.

It's a pity that this person has a bad character, relying on his own strength, taking advantage of the chaos in Jiangnan, Jingzhou and other places, taking advantage of the chaos, occupying the mountain as the king, and making a fortune. The Jingzhou government government sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, and this person hid in the mountains, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou government to retreat and come out to make trouble again; But if it was an ordinary county order, he went to encircle and suppress, but he was defeated by Wang Hun because of insufficient troops.

It can be said that this thief has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Jingzhou Mansion, and he is eager to peel his skin and cramp, but unfortunately, it backfired, so that the Jingzhou Mansion issued a notice to suppress the thief for several months, and the county towns around the country still could not eradicate this thief, and even was defeated by it several times, and took advantage of the situation to attack the county, and the loss was so heavy.

After coming back several times, the county commanders in various places no longer dared to send county soldiers to attack the Niugu bandits, and the local people were also afraid of the Niugu thieves.

And at this time, Lingling County, Nanjun County, Jingzhou, sent a team of 500 thieves to suppress the county soldiers.

The news reached the ears of Chen Qi, the warden of Jiangling County, Nanjun, and Chen Qi was shocked. You must know that in these days, the ploppy and thief robbers in the counties and counties of Jiangling heard about the strength of Niugu Mountain, and went to take refuge one after another, which made the thieves under Wang Hun's hands more and more numerous, and now they have gathered 8,000 thieves, known as 80,000. It seriously threatened the local government.

With only 500 soldiers, how can this Lingling County be the opponent of the Niu Gu thieves? It is naturally a good thing to have the intention to suppress thieves and defend the country, but you must also have self-knowledge, how can you give your life in vain?

Chen Qi, the warden of Jiangling County, shook his head secretly, and immediately sent a letter to send people to the location of the five hundred Lingling soldiers, warning them not to hit the stone with eggs, but to retreat for the time being, and wait for the next joint crusade of various counties formed by him Chen Qi himself.

And when Chen Gong, the messenger who delivered the letter, arrived at the location of the five hundred Lingling soldiers, he found that the Lingling soldiers did not seem to have begun to use troops against Niugu Mountain. For this reason, the Chen Gong Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Chen Gong came to the location of Lingbing County. He froze. For he saw it in astonishment. Three young men of similar age are expressing their opinions and debating them so violently that they are about to fight.

"Discuss? What's negotiable? I killed the head of the thieves, and the thieves were naturally defeated! ”

A young man who can easily say such a bold statement that he has taken the rank of general among the armies. Obviously, it is Chen Bei, who was newly given the title of "Kaiyang Divine General" by Liu Qian, that is, the twelfth generation of the descendants of the Liang Qiu family, Liang Qiu Hao.

"I just can't get used to your style! - Do you think you can kill thousands of thieves by one person? What this reckless man did! - Listen to me, I'll choose some people to pretend to be thieves who go to take refuge, and wait for the opportunity to get rid of Wang Hun! ”

The one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who constantly ridiculed and ridiculed Liang Qiuhao, was the fourth generation of the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army in the future, Wu Heng.

Seeing that Liang Qiuhao and Wu Heng were arguing about this, a young general on the side sneered and said. "What nonsense? - One with brute force, the other with trickery, not in a proper manner! Just hit it with dignity! ”

This young general, who speaks more domineering than Liang Qiuhao, is one of the cornerstones of the Taiping Army in the future, the second generation of Tianfu Soldiers. Yang Yu.

"Just use force!"

"Use the count!"

"Righteous soldiers!"

In this era that was about to belong to them, Liang Qiuhao, Yang Yu, and Wu Heng, the three most dazzling leadership generals in the Taiping Army in the future, actually ignored Chen Gong, the envoy sent by Chen Qi, the commander of Jiangling County, Nanjun, and quarreled, only to see Chen Gong stunned.

[Who are these people...... Obviously, there were 500 soldiers attacking nearly 10,000 bandits in Niugu Mountain, but their own side clashed first, which is really ...... But then again......]

As if sensing something, Chen Gong looked around, and he was shocked to find that these five hundred Lingling soldiers were all composed of young people in their teens, and they all looked like recruits, even the three who quarreled and the young generals who looked like they were the leaders.

[What exactly does the Lingling County Prefectural Order think?] If you send these recruits to suppress the thieves, will you send them to die in vain? Or is this just a military exercise? ]

Chen Gong was puzzled, and seeing that the three were still arguing, he coughed and asked politely, "Dare to ask the three little brothers, where will this landlord be?" ”

The three of them who were arguing endlessly glanced at each other, Wu Heng and Yang Yu glanced at Liang Qiuhao and snorted coldly.

At the same time, Liang Qiuhao replied indifferently, "It's Chen!" ”

For some reason, Chen Gong felt that he was shocked. He was shocked by a young man who was far younger than himself.

"Gu ......" swallowed his saliva, Chen Gong suppressed the inexplicable shock in his heart, barely squeezed out a few smiles, and verified again, "I refer to Lord Chen Bei of Lingling County......

"If you don't say it, it's me!" Liang Qiuhao glanced at Chen Gong with some displeasure.

At this time, Liang Qiuhao, because he had not yet experienced the death of his most beloved woman Liu Qian, was still young and vigorous, and he was not the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army who was dead and silent in the future.

"This ......" Chen Gong was stunned, where would he have guessed that the chief general of the Lingling County army this time would be a half-old child who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Seeing Chen Gong's stunned appearance, Wu Heng glanced at him unhappily, and said indifferently, "The three of us are discussing the military situation, don't bother the envoy!" ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then remembered his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "Come here this time......

As soon as he said this, he saw Yang Yu shouting impatiently, "Didn't you shut up?!" ”

[These young people, such a powerful momentum!] ]

After looking at Liang Qiuhao and the three of them a few times, Chen Gong was secretly speechless, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he watched quietly.

After half an hour, Liang Qiuhao and the three of them were still arguing. Chen Gong couldn't help it, and asked the Lingling soldiers not far away, that is, the first Tianfu sergeant, "These three little generals...... How long has the argument been? ”

The Tianfu sergeant shrugged his shoulders loosely, and said with a smile, "Actually, I arrived last night, but it's a pity that the three generals quarreled from last night to this morning, and then had a meal, and then quarreled, and what the envoy saw was just the follow-up of last night!" ”

Chen Gong was angry and funny when he heard this. But it also stirred up the good spirit in his heart. He couldn't help but ask again. "I don't know why the three little generals are arguing?"

Maybe he was idle and had nothing to do, the Tianfu soldier explained with a smile, "That's the case, Brother Chen Bei plans to kill him like this." He killed Wang Hun, and the rest of the minions belonged to us; Brother Wu Heng's idea is to ask people to mix among the cattle thieves, and the inside and outside should be together; Brother Yang Yu proposed to attack the ...... in a dignified manner Isn't that a quarrel? ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head with a smile, and saw that Liang Qiuhao and the three of them were still arguing, so he couldn't help but interject, "How about this?" β€”β€”Chen Xiancheng is the vanguard, Yang Bing Commander is the commander, and Wu Xianzuo is the military division. Do your job and don't interfere with each other! ”

Liang Qiuhao, Yang Yu, and Wu Heng, who were arguing with the "......", were stunned when they heard this, looked at each other silently, and seemed to acquiesce to this suggestion.

Seeing that the three of them had resolved the fight, Chen Gong smiled. Immediately, I was stunned.

[Strange, didn't I come to persuade them to quit?] ]

However, the matter has come to this point, and Chen Gong does not plan to persuade again. First, the other party doesn't seem to be a person who can listen to persuasion, and second, he really wants to see how far this unusual Lingling soldier can go.

So, in the early morning of the next day, the Tianfu Army officially launched an attack on Niugu Mountain, and the command of the leading troops was Yang Yu. It's just that the number of troops is no longer the previous five hundred, but three hundred, and the other two hundred people don't know where they were sent by Wu Heng.

Seeing his 300 people provoking Niugu Mountain, which had nearly 10,000 people, Chen Gong couldn't help but be enthusiastic, but in addition to the boiling blood, he couldn't help but feel a little timid in his heart, after all, the difference in strength was too great. If it weren't for the fact that this Lingling Soldier was different, Chen Gong would have fled a long time ago.

Wang Hun, the leader of Niugu Mountain, accepted the battle letter of the Tianfu Army, but he did not come forward in person, but only called a small leader named Li Erniu to come out, and he did not bring many soldiers, but more than a thousand people, which made Chen Gong secretly relieved.

After all, three hundred and one thousand......

[…… The difference in strength is still huge! ]

Chen Gong looked at Liang Qiuhao, who was single-handedly in front of the formation, with a worried expression.

"Which one is called Wang Hun? Come out and die! Liang Qiuhao, who seemed to be a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, immediately shouted, causing the bull thief on the opposite side to laugh.

Can't be ignorant of those bull thieves who insulted Liang Qiuhao, after all, at this time, who knows that this man named Liang Qiuhao will be respected as the strongest general of the one-man army in the future?

"Yellow-haired child, are you in such a hurry to die? - It just so happens that your grandfather is still short of a batch of war horses, so it will fulfill you! ”

After some laughter, a squad leader among the thieves rushed over, on the other hand, Liang Qiuhao was holding a gun and reining in his horse, not moving at all, and said lightly, "Didn't you come, that Wang Hun ......"

There was a hint of regret in his words.

Finally, the leader of the thief squad rushed to Liang Qiuhao, slashed at Liang Qiuhao's body with the machete in his hand, and scolded with a wild laugh in his mouth, "Boy, are you stupid by your grandfather?" ”

Under Chen Gong's worried gaze, Liang Qiuhao didn't look at the thief squad leader, and swung out a shot with one hand, not only blocking the opponent's knife, but even knocking the person out several feet away.

"Click-" The thief slammed his head to the ground, tilting his head and not moving again.

Do whatever you want, and defeat the enemy with one move!

"This and this ......" Chen Gong gasped in shock, and was about to speak, but he heard Yang Yu not far away beside him snort coldly, and said with a little jealousy, "That damn guy, I don't know where that good body came from......"

At this time, the thieves who were still laughing at them on the other side were also silent, after all, even if they did it casually, Liang Qiuhao also proved his courage to them.

"Who else?"

"......" The thieves and soldiers looked at each other, and suddenly one of them rushed out and shouted, "Don't be arrogant with the yellow-haired child, look at your grandfather Zhou to get you!" ”

One move, another move!

Chen Gong was shocked to see that Liang Qiuhao once again shot the squad leader of the thief army.

Without looking at the corpse not far away, Liang Qiu Hao rode his horse slowly towards the thief soldiers, and said coldly, "Who else?" ”

Subsequently, in just less than half a column of incense. Liang Qiuhao actually killed more than ten people in a row, and only made one move each time, which shocked the faces of more than a thousand thieves, and they no longer dared to come up and provoke this terrible young man.

"Didn't anyone come? Then it's just me! With his legs between the horse's belly, Liang Qiuhao didn't pay any attention to the three hundred soldiers behind him, and actually killed the more than 1,000 thieves alone, only looking at Chen Gong's face like earth.

"This, this, this...... Chen Xiancheng this ......"

Glancing at Chen Gong, who was stammering and couldn't even speak, Yang Yu looked at Liang Qiuhao again, gritted his teeth, and ordered hatefully. "Assault of the whole army! - Don't pay attention to the reckless man in front of you. Just follow the training on weekdays...... Kill! ”

"Oh!" The three hundred Tianfu soldiers raised their arms and shouted. The whole army attacked, but the more than 1,000 thieves were demoralized one by one, and they rushed to escape.

Less than a quarter of an hour. The battle was over, and the 300 Tianfu soldiers defeated more than 1,000 Niugu Mountain bandit soldiers and won 400 heads, but no one was killed.

"It's hard to ...... Confidence ......"

Chen Gong looked at this scene dumbfounded, especially when Liang Qiuhao came back later with the head of the small leader of the thief army.

[Take the rank of general among thousands of troops...... So the young man wasn't joking?! ]

Looking at Liang Qiuhao, who had obviously killed more than a thousand thieves alone before, but when he came back, he didn't have an inch of scar, Chen Gong was stunned.

This battle seems to have alarmed Wang Hun, the leader of Niugu Mountain, so that on the third day. When the Tianfu army fought again at the foot of Niugu Mountain, Wang Hun, who wanted to take revenge, personally led 6,000 thieves to fight.

With 6,000 against 300, in Wang Hun's opinion, this is enough to cut this army of only 300 people with a thousand knives!

But before that, he set his eyes on Liang Qiuhao, who was still fighting in front of the battle.

"Is that the kid? Hum! ”

Sneered. Wang Hun sent Wu Lei, a thief under his command, known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who thought that Wu Lei would be able to cut that hateful boy with a thousand knives, but in the end, he was still stabbed to death by Liang Qiuhao.

Although he was horrified in his heart, Wang Hun still did not believe in evil, and sent the remaining three generals out one after another, but as a result, he was killed by Liang Qiuhao one by one.

"This, this, this, this ......" Jiangling's envoy Chen Gong was stunned again, although he had already made a preliminary estimate of Liang Qiuhao's martial arts, but the facts once again refreshed his estimate.

[Unfathomable!] This county magistrate Chen Bei of Lingling County has unfathomable martial arts! - Why is he so strong when he is not as old as a weak crown? ]

Chen Gong was secretly speechless.

Fortunately, Chen Gong didn't know that Liang Qiu Hao was just relying on the tricks in his remaining memories to resist the enemy at this time, and he had wasted at least seven years, just gnawing on the old book of learning martial arts under the teaching of Liang Qiu Gong before, otherwise, his achievements would not only be to this extent. Of course, it is also a loss, if Liang Qiuhao at this time will stimulate the stunt of Wuyan on his own, although the anti-thief of Niugu Mountain is not a problem, but within a few days, he will recruit his grandfather, Liang Qiugong, the first fierce general of the Great Zhou.

"There...... Is it? ”

Just when the bandits of Niugu Mountain were shocked by Liang Qiuhao's bravery, Liang Qiuhao also found Wang Hun's location. As on the previous occasion, he single-handedly killed the past.

"Again?!" Chen Gong gasped in shock.

You know, this time it's a full 6,000 thieves!

"That reckless man who only knows how to snipe the enemy's leader......" Yang Yu gritted his teeth hatefully, but he couldn't admit that the reason why the situation on the battlefield was in favor of his Tianfu soldiers was because of Liang Qiuhao's existence.

"No...... Don't you save it? Seeing that Yang Yu was indifferent, Chen Gong asked in surprise. After seeing Liang Qiuhao's martial arts, he didn't want this tough young general to die alone.

Facing Chen Gong's almost questioning question, Yang Yu actually yawned and said lightly, "It's not time yet!" - Don't worry, that guy won't die so easily! As he spoke, he paused, frowned, and said, "Compared to that reckless man, I'm more curious about that guy Wu Heng...... That bastard wouldn't be hiding somewhere to sleep, would he? - If that's the case, I'm going to have to be ruthless when I turn around...... Hey? ”

As if noticing something, Yang Yu's annoyed face slowly relaxed, and even showed a few smiles, and scolded with a relaxed tone, "That bastard...... Do you think we're all bait? ”

Chen Gong was puzzled when he heard this, and subconsciously followed Yang Yu's line of sight to look into the distance, only to see that on the Niugu Mountain in the distance, the fire was raging and the smoke was billowing out, as if someone had brought the Niugu thief's nest to the end.

"Good!" Overjoyed, Chen Gong remembered. We also have a squad of 200 men.

[Is that the county leader named Wu Heng?] - Interesting! Is it because he believes in his companions that he leads a detachment of troops to attack the thief camp? ]

Chen Gong nodded secretly. How did he know that Wu Heng didn't care about the life or death of Liang Qiuhao or Yang Yu, anyway, in his opinion, even if there were no latter two, he could still shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Taiping Army and restoring the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As soon as the fire in Niugu Mountain burned, the thieves who found out about it were suddenly in chaos.

"Battalion...... The camp is water, the camp is water! ”

"What?" The king of thieves looked back at the mountain in disbelief, but found that there was indeed thick smoke billowing in the direction of his camp, and his heart was terrified. To know. He left at least 2,000 soldiers in the camp.

Just when Wang Hun was shocked in his heart. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting next to me.

"Chief, be careful!"

Wang Hun subconsciously turned his head. Only then did he realize that Liang Qiuhao, that terrible boy, had single-handedly killed not far in front of him.

"You...... Is that Wang Hun? Not far in front of the king, Liang Qiuhao asked coldly.

"Ahh Grinning hehe. Wang Hun said in a cold voice, "Wang Dare to be a good 100-pound sledgehammer, Wang Hun is Lao Tzu!" ”

"Oh? A 100-pound sledgehammer? Liang Qiuhao snorted with a smile on his face.

"What? Don't believe me? With a sneer, Wang Hun took advantage of Chen Bei's inattention and smashed a hundred-pound sledgehammer from the hands of his corporal to Liang Qiuhao.

He originally thought that this alone would be enough to smash Liang Qiuhao to death, and even if he couldn't smash it, at least it would make the other party's head bleed, but what shocked him was that Liang Qiuhao easily caught the big hammer with only one hand. And waved it a few times, only waving the wind, as if what he was holding was not a hammer weighing a hundred catties, but just a light and fluttering branch.

"Is it really just a hundred catties? No wonder I don't feel anything......" Liang Qiuhao shook his head with a little disappointment.

It's no wonder, after all, his arm strength is stronger than his cousin, the future Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance. Hundreds of catties of chopping knives are driven by one hand like an arm, how can they care about a hundred catties?

However, this hand made Wang Hun stunned, you know, even he couldn't swing the hammer so fast as Liang Qiuhao.

"Give it back to you!" Looking at Wang Hun coldly, Liang Qiuhao used the strength of his right arm and threw the hammer in his hand at Wang Hun violently.

Wang Hun, who only heard a loud bang and did not react at all, was smashed to the ground by the force of the hammer, and the entire chest cavity was dented, and after smashing away from the horse, he flew upside down for seven or eight feet, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"Chief?"

"The King?"

The thieves and soldiers were in chaos all of a sudden, and no one thought that Wang Hun, the leader who was good at using a hundred catties of iron hammers and natural powers, would not be able to receive a young general's hammer and was stoned to death.

"It's time......"

Seeing Liang Qiu Hao beheading Wang Hun from a distance, Yang Yu waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "The whole army ...... Sortie! ”

"Wowβ€”β€”!" The morale of the Tianfu soldiers who were greatly boosted because of their own commander Liang Qiu Hao's beheading of the thieves killed the thieves one by one like wolves.

It's overwhelming!

Chen Gong finally understood what it was like a bamboo!

At the end of the battle, when Wu Heng also returned with 200 soldiers, the Tianfu soldiers began to count the losses.

Chen Gong couldn't believe it, in such a big battle, there were only 500 Lingling soldiers in total, and only a few dozen people were lost.

Ah, this incredibly powerful local army annihilated a gang of nearly 10,000 thieves at the cost of only a few dozen people.

[These three men...... It will definitely be famous all over the world in the future! ]

Seeing Liang Qiuhao and the three of them arguing in the distance over who would take the lead, Chen Gong said secretly in his heart.

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful! - The cooperation of the three of them is really wonderful! ”

Chen Gong couldn't help but pat his palms and praise.

……

……

[As long as you wait for the three of you to work together, you can be invincible and invincible...... Is it? ]

Looking up at the dark night sky, Wu Heng suddenly remembered the praise of a local government official of Zhou State for some reason, the praise that he didn't know what to call at the time, but now he tasted it carefully, but Wu Heng felt inexplicably bitter.

[Once upon a time, the Tianfu Army was so powerful, with Chen Bei in bravery, Yang Yu in command, and Wu Heng in wisdom...... Conquer everything, conquer everything, and win the battle! Why did it end up like this?

Ah, if Chen Bei is still here, it seems that Fei Guo and Ma Dan are so careless?

If Yang Yu's guy is still here, then it will not be his turn to worry about Liao Li...... That guy is the only monster in the army who can walk through twenty moves in the hands of Chen Bei's guy!

There are also Tianfu soldiers...... The Tianfu soldiers have been trained for more than ten years so far!

If all the staff are still there, why should Zhou Jun be concerned? ]

"The West City Gate is in an emergency, the West City Gate is in an emergency! β€”β€”Zhou Jun...... The Zhou army has attacked the West City Gate! It is suspected that the main force of the Zhou army led by Xie An and Li Xian! ”

"General Zhang Nan was defeated by General Fei Guo of Zhou, was beheaded by him, and his soldiers and horses were scattered!"

"Luo Qing, the general of the Tianquan Army, occupied the southern city gate, refused to hand over the city gate, and did not obey the general's order to meet the Zhou army!"

"Zhou Jiangcheng attacked the rear of our army......"

"General Guo Da surrendered to the Zhou army, and the north of the city was in a hurry......"

"General Wang Mu surrendered to the Zhou army, and the west of the city is in a hurry......"

"General Chen Li surrendered to the Zhou army, and the east of the city is in a hurry......"

In the army, urgent calls for help sounded everywhere, one after another, making Wu Heng's already gloomy face even more gloomy.

Betrayed and embattled?

After a dead silence for a while, Wu Heng suddenly laughed, and a little bitterness faintly appeared on his seemingly tired face.

"Heh, hehehe......"

"Big ...... Handsome? The Taiping soldiers beside him looked at each other

Ignoring the soldiers around him, Wu Heng slowly walked towards the direction of the city guard mansion alone, muttering something to himself.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why didn't you think of it? It's really tiring to do something three people by yourself...... Tired...... Very tired. - I'm so tired, I am alone to shoulder the burden of revitalizing the Taiping Army......"
