Chapter 69: Night Rebellion
In a sense, apart from Sun Jian, an extraordinary person who has transformed into a monster, Xu Kun can be said to be the first martial artist from a famous family that Zhang Huang and others have encountered, although the Xu family does not belong to the four major families in Wu County, but the Xu family's energy that is married to the Sun family is not under the four major families of Wu County. Compared with Xu Kun, the eldest son of the Xu family, although Zang Ba and Li Tong are from a small martial arts family, they are not enough to see.
Danyang Taishou Xu Kun's nephew, Fuchun's tiger Sun Jian's nephew, Xu Kun's first debut was already a store that Zhang Huang and others could only look up to, and he had a bright future. Maybe Danyang guarded Xu Kun too much to shock Zhang Huang, but Xu Kun, as Sun Jian's nephew, couldn't help but secretly say good luck in people's hearts, even if it was Zhang Huang. You must know that Sun Jian is the most courageous and shocking general at present, whether it is a military general or leading an army to fight, he is a good hand, and even Dong Zhuo, who will be in power in the future, is also afraid of it. Dong Taishi and Dong Chengxiang, who were not afraid of the alliance of local princes in more than ten towns in Kanto, only handed an olive branch to Sun Jian, you must know that even Yuan Shu, the 'master' who Sun Jian was attached to at that time, did not get Dong Zhuo's awe. It is not difficult to guess that Sun Jian's weight in Dong Zhuo's heart is at least as important as Wenhou Lu Bu.
However, Lu Bu is just a brave general, and he is definitely not a good commander who is good at commanding troops, but what about Sun Jian? Cutting Huaxiong, seizing the Tiger Prison, and ascending to Luoyang first, what the coalition forces of more than a dozen towns in the eastern part of the country failed to do, Sun Jian could do it alone. This makes people have to admit that Sun Jian is definitely the most dazzling hero at present, and he is one of the few big people in the late Han Dynasty who can separate the process of the times with personal milestones.
Sun Jian, who bore the brunt of the attack, Dong Zhuo, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, Cao Cao, who ordered the princes of the narrow heavens, and only these three can be called milestones of the changes of the times in the stage of the struggle for hegemony in the late Han Dynasty.
And Xu Kun was fortunate to be Sun Jian's nephew. In Zhang Huang's opinion, this is simply the favor of God, therefore, whether it is Zhang Huang or the Black Feather Crows, they are not very concerned about Xu Kun's identity as a Danyang general, maybe in their opinion, if they are Sun Jian's nephews, they must be able to achieve this kind of achievement lightly.
However, after gradually contacting Xu Kun, Zhang Huang and others learned that under the many dazzling halos of the Xu family, his personal strength should not be underestimated.
"Snail...... That's the name of the gun I loved! β
Afterward. When the relationship with Xu Kun reached a certain level, the cheerful Xu Kun smiled and introduced the black crow to the name of his love gun, the snail, a small insect that trembled and walked all its life with a heavy shell.
At that time, Zhang Huang felt very funny, you must know that Xu Kun, who is good at using guns, is definitely not bad, whether it is strength or speed, Zhang Huang and others have never encountered it, even if it is Chen Qi, even if it is Cheng Pu. Especially Cheng Pu. Zhang Huang was very shocked at the time, he never thought that Xu Kun, who had only mentioned a few times in history, was only in his twenties. The attainment in gunnery has approached Cheng Pu, and even surpasses it.
is obviously a thunderous marksmanship, but the gun used is named 'snail', Zhang Huang can't understand it. He speculated wildly: Could it be that this is Xu Kun's trick to fool his opponent?
Later, I thought about it carefully. Only then did he gradually understand the deep meaning of Xu Kun's naming of Aijiang as 'snail'.
Maybe for Xu Kun, he is the snail, and Sun Jian is the volute on his back. Protecting him from the enemy, but at the same time, it also brought great pressure and burden to Xu Kun. Because Sun Jian's light is too dazzling, so dazzling that it covers up all the glorious deeds of the people around him, especially the children of the Sun family and the Xu family. One of the most typical examples is Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing. (The basic army at the beginning of Sun Jian's army was called by Sun Jing to the township and the children of the same sect, and this article is called the 'Red Silk Army' by Cheng Pudai.) And later, when Sun Ce attacked Liu Xiang and did not go well, Sun Jing, who received Sun Ce's letter asking for help, resigned without saying a word, and took his relatives to Sun Ce, who was poor and white at the time, and offered advice to help Sun Ce pacify Huiji. But when Sun Ce stood up in Huiji, Sun Jing retired, refused Sun Ce's retention and reward, returned to the township guard, and took charge of educating the children of the Sun clan. Although there is little history, he is a rare filial piety gentleman. οΌ
Sun Jing and Zhang Huang haven't heard of it yet, but Xu Kun is an indisputable fact in front of him: this guy who is qualified to be called the second ancestor, when others only pay attention to his relationship with that uncle Sun Jian, actually works harder than anyone else, and he has mastered a skill at a young age. It's a pity that his uncle's edge was so sharp that it completely overshadowed him. This made Xu Kun have to be like the 'snail' in his mouth, he had to carry a heavy shell and walk forward step by step, moving towards the goal in his heart.
[It's really a sin to be an enterprising second ancestor......]
Seeing that Xu Kun alone solved a patrol of rebels without moving, peeling off the leather armor on the corpse for Zhang Huang and the others to replace, the black feather crows secretly sighed in their hearts.
They can understand why Xu Kun wants to 'fight' with his uncle Sun Jian, it is by no means arbitrary, Xu Kun just wants others to prove that he did not rely on his uncle Xu Kun or his uncle Sun Jian to climb to the high position of Danyang general. It's just that acting is a little bit impatient.
"Are we really going to assassinate the rebel commander Shen Ying?"
After changing into the rebel's leather armor, Zhang Huang couldn't help but ask Xu Kundao again. He himself is not afraid, after all, Ren Wujuntun did not suppress the evil spirit, and when he saw that the situation was not good, Zhang Huang could escape with a curse, but he couldn't take away Xu Kun and the other brothers of the Black Feather Crow. Therefore, for the sake of the safety of the brothers, Zhang Huang must be cautious.
Xu Kun seemed to guess Zhang Huang's concerns, and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, right now, the rebels are all their energy on my uncle, I'm afraid no one will think that we will assassinate his boss Shen Xing." Although my uncle only made a tentative night attack tonight, with his character of fighting for everything, he would definitely do everything in his power to capture the barracks if there was a chance at all. There are no fierce generals in the rebels who can stop my uncle, and the only thing they can do is to use the lives of their soldiers to stop my uncle's footsteps. My uncle will not retreat, and the rebels will never sit idly by and watch my uncle take the barracks. In this way, most of the rebel soldiers in the battalion will undoubtedly gather in the west camp, and at this time, we will suddenly enter the camp of the rebel commander, and we will definitely be able to kill Shen Ying by surprise! β¦β¦ Shen Xing's head, that is the greatest merit of this battle! β
"......" Zhang Huang and the black feather crows glanced at each other, and nodded one after another, and they didn't know whether it was Xu Kun's enlightenment that moved them, or it was purely because of the heavy exploits of the enemy commander.
"Then General Sun will be fine, right?" Zhang Huang couldn't help but ask, to be honest. His impression of Sun Jian is quite good.
Hearing this, Xu Kun glanced at Zhang Huang with strange eyes, and couldn't help but say contemptuously in a proud tone, "How can anyone in the rebels hurt my uncle?" It's a joke! β
[It turned out that he was convinced that Sun Jian would be fine...... Alas, it's good to have a brave uncle, and no one can help him when he puts it in front of the enemy......]
Zhang Huang secretly sighed in his heart that the strength of martial artists, especially a fierce general like Sun Jian, who was invincible, was literally translated on the battlefield. He couldn't help but fantasize that if he and the Black Feather Crow's brothers also grew up to Sun Jian's kind of Cheng dΓΉ in the future. With the world's most powerful force, can they win an army or conquer a city with just a few of them?
Thinking about it. Zhang Huang couldn't help but get a little excited.
At this time, Zhang Huang didn't know that the Mo Confucians of the Ruyang Confucian Academy had already extracted the essence from the 'Buzhou Stone' containing a little impurities many years ago, a crystallization named 'Breaking Air Stone'. And put it into armaments, and developed a batch of arrows that specialized in breaking the rigid body of martial artists. In the face of this kind of special arrow that crosses the era, the rigid body that the warriors are proud of is just a joke. And the first to get this special arrow from Mo Ru as a strategic reserve. It was the royal surname of the Han Liu clan who later succeeded Wang Rui and became the clansmen of the Han Liu family in Jingzhou, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng.
-At the same time--
When Xu Kun and the Black Feather Crows were in full swing to start how to assassinate the rebel commander Shen Xing, Shen Ying was actually not idle.
At this time, Shen Ying had already learned that Sun Jian was leading hundreds of people to attack his Ren Wujun Tun at night, and Shen Ying did not have the slightest nervousness about this. Maybe in Shen Xing's opinion, no matter how powerful you Sun Jian is, can you kill more than 30,000 soldiers in my military camp? If you can do it, then I will appoint it, or you will not have to retreat obediently?
"Concentrate your forces to snipe the Danyang soldiers led by Sun Jian, as for Sun Jian...... Let him kill as much as he likes, and don't pay attention to him! β
Shen Ying casually gave a very irresponsible order, and sent away a deputy general who came to report on the battle situation in Xiying. But it is undeniable that Shen Ying's irresponsible order caught Sun Jian's sore feet. After all, it was impossible for Sun Jian to risk sacrificing hundreds of Danyang soldiers and go deep into Ren Wujuntun alone to find him Shen Xing. Therefore, in Shen Xing's view, as long as the hundreds of Danyang soldiers were dragged to death, it meant that Sun Jian could only go back and forth in the western camp. As for how many rebel soldiers will be sacrificed in this way, this is not in Shen Xing's consideration.
"Shen Shuai is so calm, even if the other party beheads several of your generals...... Aren't you afraid that Sun Jian will go straight in and be unfavorable to Shen Shuai? A playful laugh rang out in the tent.
Surprisingly, it turned out that there was someone else in the tent besides the rebel commander Shen Xing, a mysterious man who covered his whole body in a black cloak.
"Your Excellency smiled." Shen Ying smiled and said indifferently, "Then no matter how powerful Sun Jian is, is he still worthy of you, Heavenly Master?" After a pause, he asked tentatively, "For the sake of the private covenant between the two sides, the Heavenly Master should give some help, right?" β
"Hehehe. β¦β¦ Shen Shuai rest assured, if that Sun Jian really comes, this heavenly master will ensure that you are safe and sound! The mysterious man's elusive laughter came from under his unreadable cloak.
Shen Xing seemed to believe in the strength of the mysterious man, and was relieved to hear this. After exhaling a breath, Shen Xing shook his head and said sarcastically, "Poor people in Guangling County, they probably thought that they had a chance to win this battle, but they didn't know that they had already been trick......ed."
The mysterious man tasted tea with himself, as if he hadn't heard Shen Xing's words.
Seeing that the mysterious man didn't talk, Shen Xing also felt a little bored, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his voice and said, "Heavenly Master, Shen can't understand, why didn't your Dao Sect take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble?" We don't say dark words, although your Daozong has given us a lot of support, but when it comes to the fundamentals, it is nothing more than hoping that my Majesty Yue Wang XiΓ can sit on the throne in Huiji, and block a lot of attention from the imperial court for Guidaozong...... But there is one thing I don't know if your Daozong has considered it, after the defeat of Guangling County this time, if the imperial court sends the 'Northern Army' to conquer it...... How good is that? It must be known that the 'Northern Army' is not the rabble of the Guangling Army, even if it is a Danyang soldier, it is not as good as their Baiyi. β¦β¦ At that time, will Guidaozong still spare no effort to support our Yue Kingdom, or will Guidaozong just regard us as an outcast to attract the attention of the imperial court, and can be discarded at will after achieving his goal? β
The mysterious man raised his head, but even then he couldn't see his face clearly, as if the face under the black cloak was shrouded in a thick mist, like a deep pool of stagnant water.
"It's a bit too much for Shen Shuai to say that...... When you and I made the alliance privately, it was made clear that as long as you can cause the imperial court to suffer losses, then accordingly, I will give the same amount of support, whether it is manpower or material resources...... As for 'achieving the goal', the Han Liu clan is still sitting firmly in the country, what can we talk about to achieve the goal? β
"That's what I said...... Shen Xinghu looked at the mysterious man suspiciously, he knew very well that they were doing a stupid thing to conspire with the tiger, but there was no way, their newly established Yue Kingdom foundation was too shallow, if there was no support from the Dao Sect behind the man in front of him, it would not be enough to fight against the Han court.
As if seeing through the concerns in Shen Xing's heart, the mysterious man said lightly, "Shen Shuai rest assured, there are also allies who are interested in overthrowing the tyrants, and this Heavenly Master thinks that it is naturally better to have more than less......
"In case ......," Shen Ying said hesitantly. If he could, he still hoped that the ally would spit out more good, not just words.
"There is no whatever. The Northern Army and the Southern Army sat in Luoyang together, that was just the news deliberately released by the imperial court, in fact, the northern grassland has not been peaceful all these years, and the northern army has already been quietly transferred to Yanmen, Bingzhou, ready to go out of the fortress to conquer the grassland again......"
[It turns out that they are waiting for the 'Northern Army' to get out of the fortress......]
Shen Xing's eyes rolled slightly, obviously capturing some important information, but his face was still hesitant.
"Even if the 'Northern Army' is not there, then there is still the 'Southern Army'......"
"The Southern Army?" The mysterious man sneered when he heard this, and sneered, "Do you think Yan Liu has the guts to transfer the Southern Army away?" Scold! If the Southern Army is transferred away tonight, tomorrow will be a national funeral! β
"......" Shen Xing was frightened by the mysterious man's determined tone, of course he knew what the national mourning meant.
"In order to reassure Shen Shuai, okay...... Even if there is a case, this Heavenly Master will take action to protect your King Yue and help him ...... again" At this, the mysterious man's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the tent as if he was aware of it.
Shen Ying glanced in the direction of the mysterious man's turn, and was puzzled to find that there was nothing unusual. However, just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly saw a surge of figures outside the tent, and then there was a burst of shouts and exclamations from the soldiers on duty outside his tent.
[Sun Jian?!] No way? ]
Shen Xing's eyebrows froze, and he subconsciously grasped the sword on the side, and glanced at the mysterious man as if he was asking for help. (To be continued......)
