Chapter 56: Befriending Cheng Pu

In the battle of Luzhuang, the fierce offensive of the rebels was finally repulsed, and the Guangling army won the final victory. However, when the soldiers of Guangling and the righteous soldiers who participated in this battle raised their arms and cheered, the young black crows were not happy at all, because their direct superior, Dubo Lu Min, who had been with them for many days, was killed in this battle.

"Cheng realized it too late, I'm very sorry......"

Cheng Pu, the de facto leader of the Red Silk Army, conveyed his regretful apologies to the young Black Feather Crows, because even he had mistakenly thought that this was just a small group of rebel army night attacks, and he never expected that the rebel general Gong Yu would have the courage to put all his troops into the battlefield, after all, there will be all kinds of uneasy factors at night due to the limited line of sight, and if these uneasy factors gather into more, there is no guarantee that they will not become changes that change the victory or defeat of the two armies. As for when Cheng Pu realized that something was wrong, it was until he heard that Chen Qi, the commander of the command, had withdrawn from the battlefield under the protection of his men.

At that time, Cheng Pu realized that the battle situation may have changed unexpectedly, so he immediately called on the nearby rebels to come to the aid of the Guangling army, so that the Guangling army, which was almost collapsing at that time, was reinvigorated, and finally repelled the rebels with difficulty after the other half of the troops led by the general Yang Qi.

"What did Uncle Cheng say?" Even Zhang Huang, the leader of their Black Feather Crow, didn't seem to have the heart to reply, just staring blankly at the body of Dubo Lu Min, Shan Fu sighed slightly in his heart, and said gratefully to Cheng Pu, "If it weren't for Uncle Cheng leading the Red Silk Army and many other righteous heroes to come to support, I'm afraid our side would have been defeated in this battle." ”

"Uncle......" Cheng Pu, who was full of beard, was in a trance, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. muttering like self-deprecation.

"Hehe, hehe...... Uncle...... Oh, yes. You're thirty years old......"

Cheng Pu, who is only two years older than Sun Jian, seems to have become a little pale. However, looking at Zhang Huang and others, a group of white-faced heroic juniors. Cheng Pu, who wanted to reach thirty years in the coming year, could only grit his teeth and acquiesce to this title with tears.

"Condolences change!" Cheng Pu patted Zhang Huang on the shoulder.

In this era, it seems that people die as commonplace, especially on the battlefield, who can guarantee that they will be able to see the sun tomorrow? And even more so for the well-informed Cheng Pu, who was a little worried that Zhang Huang, a young hero, would not be able to withstand this kind of blow.

It turned out that Cheng Pu's worries were too much, and Zhang Huang and the others did not do anything out of the ordinary. The love of robes, sometimes just need to be put in the heart.

But this does not mean that Zhang Huang can stay out of it and deal with it calmly.

"Uncle Cheng. That Yuan Han ......"

Seeing Zhang Huang's gaze, Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel a little hesitant because of the uncle, took a slight breath, and said with a wry smile, "It is really unexpected that there are such fierce generals in the rebels. Cheng thought he could leave this person behind, but ...... I'm sorry, but I let him out unharmed. ”

It's an escape, not an escape. Cheng Pu, who doesn't like to exaggerate, implicitly points out Yuan Han's strength.

It's a pity that Zhang Huang didn't seem to understand Cheng Pu's vague reminder, and nodded silently, which made Cheng Pu feel a little worried in his heart.

He was very optimistic about this group of bold young pawns. I don't want them to fold their wings in the immature period when their wings are not yet full. To put it simply, Cheng Pu didn't think that if Zhang Huang and the others found Yuan Han, they would have a few chances of winning.

Only ferocious birds can soar freely in the open sky. And the young eagles, it is better to stay in a safe nest. Waiting for the day when the wings will be full. This is not cowardice, but wisdom.

Cheng Pu thinks so.

Just when he was thinking about how to persuade this group of boys who didn't speak, but understood that people could see the murderous intent in their eyes at a glance. Suddenly, Chen Zhi's angry voice rang out.

"What are you doing here?!"

Cheng Pu subconsciously turned his head to look over, and was stunned to see the commander of Lu Zhuang in the previous battle, and the general Chen Qi came to the residence where they were under the escort of two soldiers, and Chen Zhi was actually tugging at Chen Qi's clothes with an indignant face.

"Presumptuous!"

"Little soldier, you are so bold!"

The two soldiers behind Chen Qi were shocked to see that Chen Zhi was so rude, and grabbed the placket of their general's clothes, they were shocked and angry, and asked.

However, Chen Qi changed his previous hostile attitude towards Zhang Huang and others, and ignored Chen Zhi's rudeness, he didn't even raise his hand to break free, but just looked at Lu Min's body placed on the wooden board in the room with lost eyes, and said in a low voice, "I...... I want to come and see Lu Min...... Hmm, Lu Dubo. ”

"Hey!" Li Tong snorted heavily beside him, put on a mocking expression and was about to say sarcastic, but suddenly heard someone in the room say in a deep voice, "Ah to, trillions, get out of the way!" ”

"Boss?" Chen Zhi and Li Tong looked at Zhang Huang who was standing next to Lu Min's body in surprise, and opened their mouths several times to speak, but finally retreated to the sides and made way for Chen Qitong to guΓ².

Chen Qi didn't thank him, but dragged his seriously injured body to Lu Min's body with difficulty, and stared intently at this life-saving benefactor who died on the battlefield because he saved him and broke off for him.

"Why did he save me, you say?"

Chen Qi asked as if talking to himself.

"Who knows!" Zhang Huang replied with a soft hum. Needless to say, he didn't have the slightest affection for this general who had led their 26 Tent 100-man team and almost wiped out the army, but simply because Lu Min had fought with his life to save this person, he asked Li Tong and Chen Zhi to get out of the way, that's all.

"Maybe I think that if you died in battle at that time, it would have dealt a severe blow to the morale of my Guangling army......"

"That's right." Chen Qi let out a long sigh, as if accepting the answer. And then there was a silence that lasted for dozens of breaths.

After a long time, Chen Qi took a deep breath, the look of lost soul on his face gradually put away, and said categorically, "Okay! Good! Good death! ”

"What did you say?!" The short-tempered Li Tong and Chen Zhi's faces changed when they heard this, and they rolled up their sleeves as if to interrupt Chen Qi to take a look, but they were stopped by the calm Zang Ba and Tai Shici. Because in addition to Chen Zhi and Li Tong, who were strongly hostile to Chen Qi. Everyone else can hear the praise and regret contained in Chen Qi's words.

"Die on the battlefield for the righteousness of the army, this is my Guangling sergeant! Die well deserved! Glory even though you die! This wisp of loyal heroic soul. It will shelter us, and it will never dissipate! Ignoring Chen Zhi and Li Tong's hostile eyes. Chen Qi said a word of praise passionately, only to hear the stunned faces of Li Tong and Chen Zhi, and wondered in his heart that Chen Qi and the previous judgment were like two people.

Finally, Chen Qi turned his gaze to Zhang Huang.

"It is said that you are Lu Min's deputy?"

The deputy position in the army, which is the general term for deputy and deputy general, is a relatively written and formal term.

"Yes! The first Shi Shi Chang, Zhang Huang! Zhang Huang replied without being arrogant or humble.

"Hmm!" Chen Qi glanced Zhang Huang up and down a few times, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Lu Min's high righteousness and consciousness. Let Chen completely change his opinion of your twenty-six accounts, I hope you don't insult some of the things he desperately changed, Uncle Zhang. ”

"Uncle?"

"Uncle?" Chen Zhi and Li Tong looked at each other, their faces full of surprise.

Even Zang Ba, Tai Shici, Shan Fu and others were a little surprised, and they were surprised that Zhang Huang would be promoted in this situation. You must know that it takes at least two or three years for ordinary people to go from a soldier to an uncle.

It's a stroke of luck!

However, Zhang Huang's expression was still flat, and he was even a little angry, "What do you mean by this?" Save your lordship. But Lu Dubo! ”

I don't know if it was because he saw through Zhang Huang's thoughts, Chen Qihui was proud of his usual life, squinted his eyes and said, "Wrong! Lu Dubo only saved Chen Qi, the supreme commander at the time. It's not me Chen Qi! Focusing on the overall situation and not sticking to personal grievances, this is where Chen praised him. Don't get me wrong! ”

Zhang Huang was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

Because Chen Qi pointed him out. LΓΌ Min did not rescue him Chen Qi because of curry favor or other purposes, but because Chen Qi was the commander of the Guangling Army at that time. If it is killed by an enemy general, it will inevitably affect the morale of the whole army. One for private and the other for the public, although they are the same action, but they are completely different concepts.

[This guy ......]

Zhang Huang glanced at Chen Qi, who was full of seriousness, slightly distracted, and had a little good impression of this person in his heart, pouting and saying lightly, "I won't thank you for this!" ”

"Humph!" Unexpectedly, Chen Qi's attitude was even worse than Zhang Huang's, and he said coldly, "Ben will not care about Lu Min's old feelings and tolerate you, if you don't do well, replace you immediately!" After speaking, he snorted heavily, turned around and walked away, leaving only Chen Zhi, Li Tong, Tai Shici, Zang Ba, Shan Fu and others in the room staring at each other, becoming more and more unpredictable.

"What's the situation? The boss said this to him, and that guy could bear it? Chen Zhi shook his head and kept saying that he couldn't understand or see through.

Beside him, Li Tong was thinking about something else.

"So...... Our boss is already an uncle? ”

"It seems so." Zang Ba and Tai Shici glanced at each other, shrugged and replied.

"That'...... Doesn't that mean that we should also be mixed? Li Tong's eyes suddenly became bright, and after hearing his words, Chen Dao, Zang Ba, Shan Fu and Tai Shici were also interested, and a group of people chattered together, so that this happy event dissipated a little of the grief caused by Lu Min's death.

"A good general!" Cheng Pu, who had been standing aside for a long time and didn't speak, stood beside Zhang Huang at some point, and asked curiously, "Do you have a grudge against him?" ”

Zhang Huang briefly told what had happened, Cheng Pu stroked his chin and thick beard, shook his head and said, "No!" Cheng Mouguan Chen Qi is a general with a good character, so he won't stumble on you, it is very likely that you provoked him first......"

I have to say that Cheng Pu is worthy of being a well-informed person, although he doesn't know the truth of the matter, he can roughly guess one or two.

"...... like this" Zhang Huang frowned slightly, but after glancing at Lu Min's body, he still chose to bury this matter in his heart, instead of asking Chen Qi to get to the bottom of it, after all, Chen Qi Shicai had already vaguely expressed the meaning of not being guilty of the past, and there was no need to ask again, which made both sides unhappy. Sometimes, people need to understand what it means to be a tacit.

The funeral in the army is very simple to handle, after all, the army is poor, and there is no big thing to do for nothing. Therefore. After Zhang Huang and the others visited Lu Min's body, they carried Lu Min, who had already washed his body, out on a wooden board for cremation. Place the ashes in a wooden box.

Although the dead pay attention to entering the earth for peace, after all, this is not Lu Min's hometown. Therefore, Zhang Huang and others could only keep LΓΌ Min's urn carefully for the time being, and entrusted those soldiers who left the team because of incomplete limbs to bring LΓΌ Min's ashes back to Guangling County with the ashes of other fallen soldiers, hoping that after the war, the Guangling government would send the ashes of these soldiers to their respective hometowns together with the bereavement pensions issued by the government and hand them over to their relatives.

'Hailing Tiger' Lu Min, the elite commander of the Guangling Army who first subdued the 26 Tent Hundred Troops with thunderous means, and also taught Zhang Huang and others military knowledge. The county lieutenant of Hailing County finally held a grudge against the rebels. This was something that Zhang Huang and the others had never expected before, because they felt that it was impossible for a powerful uncle like Lu Min to be defeated in the fight against the rebels. In fact, an elite uncle like Lu Min is not the only one on the list of killed in the Guangling Army these days.

The only special thing about Lu Min is that he has a half-hung Taoist priest like Zhang Huang who knows how to draw talismans, so he knows how to burn a few pieces of yellow paper. It makes the cold white things a little more formal.

It has to be said that the brutal battlefield facts made the young black feather crows understand that they are still too weak, too weak. Too weak to save the robe that died in front of him.

[If you have the strength of Uncle Cheng Pu, maybe you can save it, right?] ]

Seeing Zhang Huang, who was holding a sword in his hand and waving his sword and burning talismans in the field, he didn't know what he was doing. After staring at Lu Min's body on the fire for a long time, the young black-feathered crows all looked at Cheng Pu, who had met them at first sight. The uncle named Cheng Pu, who is thirty years old, has the illusion that he seems to be targeted by some fierce beast.

Sure enough, after Lu Min's white affair. Cheng Pu was really surrounded by the newly promoted Uncle Zhang Huang and several new chiefs under his command, and the young black feather crow heroes asked Cheng Pu for the so-called advanced martial arts skills, which forced Cheng Pu into a cold sweat.

"Uh...... With a sword? The only way to break the rigid body with a sword is to cut iron, but Cheng Mou can't cut iron......" Seeing Zhang Huang and Shan Fu's disappointed eyes mixed with contempt, Rao is Cheng Pu, who repelled the fierce general Yuan Han, was inevitably crying and laughing at this moment.

And Li Tong, Chen Dao, and Zang Ba were smiling, after all, they originally used guns as their main weapons, but they were good at different marksmanship. Li Tong and Zang Ba are pursuing domineering and powerful heavy guns, while Chen Zhi is biased towards dexterity, but it is a pity that he still has a grudge against Chen Qi, otherwise, Chen Qi with his exquisite dexterous spearmanship, is a good master who can make Chen Zhi's martial arts rise by leaps and bounds. Of course, the premise is that Chen Qi is willing to teach, but seeing that Chen Qi has a dead face all day long, Chen Zhi is obviously unwilling to beg him in a low voice.

Although Cheng Pu is proficient in snake spears, he is also trained in guΓ² marksmanship, so Chen Dao, Li Tong, and Zang Ba can indeed get a lot of help from Cheng Pu's side, which is definitely an opportunity for their martial arts careers.

Isn't it, even Tai Shici, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but blush a little, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Chengpu, do you know how to do archery?" ”

"Uncle......" Cheng Pu was in a trance again, and then replied with a wry smile on his face, "Hey, hey, little ghost, do you think there will be anything that touches the gap in martial arts?" Cheng Pu is only thirty years old! Is it better to be only a dozen years older than you? He vaguely mentioned his age, mostly hoping that a few little ghosts would change their words and call him big brother or something.

It's a pity that a few little ghosts didn't guess the little hope in Cheng Pu's heart, and in a burst of uncle's voice, Tai Shici turned his back on the bow technique very spinelessly and joined Li Tong's team to learn marksmanship.

"Didn't you learn to bow?" Cheng Pu only felt bitter in his mouth, after all, one more professor object, the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy, and he didn't want to mislead people's children.

Tai Shici's explanation is that it is always beneficial to learn more weapons without pressing the body with more skills.

He gave a few more examples, such as Li Tong and Chen Dao, in addition to guns, swords are also the weapons they are used to using; Another example is Zang Ba, who has a set of boxing techniques despite shooting. In that case, what's wrong with him learning marksmanship too much? There is no direct conflict with archery. In the future, if you encounter a strong enemy that cannot be dealt with with by bows and arrows, you can still defeat the enemy with a powerful spear skill.

Cheng Pu was speechless when he said this, and he simply broke the can. took the initiative to ask Zhang Huang and Shan Fu if they also wanted to learn gunmanship, after all, teaching four is also teaching. Teaching six is also teaching, and the number of students has reached such a number. Actually, it doesn't make much difference.

However, Zhang Huang and Shan Fu's answers almost made Cheng Pu blow his beard.

"Nope! My goal is to be a famous knight who is famous all over the world! If you want to be a knight, you must use a sword! Zhang Huang angrily rejected Cheng Pu's kindness, and Cheng Pu couldn't wait to ask: Why did the gun provoke you? Why can't you become a hero with a gun? The Moon Sword, the Year Knife, and the gun of a lifetime, do you know?! Guns are the most difficult and unpredictable of the hundred soldiers!

After thinking about it, he felt that even if he said this, Zhang Huang might not necessarily understand, so he turned his head and asked Shan Fudao, "What about you?" ”

Shan Fu's answer was not much better than Zhang Huang's, and Cheng Pulian rolled his eyes angrily.

"Guns?" Shan Fu showed a disagreeing expression. shook his head again and again and said, "Xiao Sheng is the military advisor of the Black Feather Crow, the military advisor, naturally he is chic and gentle, how can he fight with the enemy with a gun like them?" This is detrimental to the elegance of our army and division. Speaking of elegance, it is naturally the first sword to recommend the head of a hundred soldiers! That's the way to go! ”

[Go to your royal way!] Damn it! ]

Seeing that Shan Fu was feeling good about himself, Cheng Pu rolled his eyes, he had already felt that this group of imps had a strange personality, and he finally understood a little bit.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Cheng Pu said in a deep voice, "Each weapon has a special trick to restrain the rigid body, but Cheng Pu only knows the 'spear penetration' in marksmanship, as for the 'cutting iron' in the sword." Cheng won't...... Don't be in a hurry to despise me! Rolling his eyes at Zhang Huang and Shan Fu, who showed disdain and disappointment, Cheng Pu continued, "If you choose a knife. Cheng Pu can recommend one to you, who is the true leader of my Red Army. But since you have chosen the sword...... Not. The one who uses the sword, in my big man, should be the first to recommend! ”

"Who?" Shan Fu couldn't wait to ask.

Cheng Pu touched the thick beard on his chin. He said in a deep voice, "Luoyang Sword Master, Wang Yue!" In the whole world, there is no more powerful swordsman than that sword master! ”

"Luoyang?" Zhang Huang's heart moved slightly. To be honest, he did think about whether to go to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, but subconsciously there were frequent warning signals: with his current level of strength, it was not enough to break through in Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, after all, it was the center of the entire Han Dynasty, and it was not difficult to guess that there must be a lot of strong people gathered, not for fledgling juniors like them to set foot in.

As if he saw the concerns in Zhang Huang's heart, Cheng Pu said with a smile, "Not bad! The imperial capital where the strong are like forests is not yet qualified for you and other juniors. But don't worry, the news that Wang Yue opened a martial arts hall in Luoyang to accept disciples is not a matter of one or two days, but one thing needs to be remembered, if you don't have enough restraints, Wang Yue will not accept you as disciples and teach you swordsmanship! ”

"Bundles? What is that? Li Tong asked puzzled.

Cheng Pu was about to explain, but he listened to Shan Fu explain on his behalf, "It is the gift money for apprenticeship, and I also paid it when Xiaosheng was in Yingchuan earlier...... Uncle Cheng Pu, I don't know how much this bundle needs? ”

"Five hundred gold!" Cheng Pu touched his beard and said.

The young black feather crows' eyes immediately widened, you must know that five hundred gold is not five hundred catties of rice, that is five hundred taels of gold, for the rich family, this is also a not low price, not to mention the black feather crows whose total property is only a few hundred taels of silver in Li Tong's purse.

"Five...... Five hundred ......" Li Tong, whose eyes looked like copper coins, seemed to have met a fellow practitioner, and he was speechless with excitement.

"Five hundred gold?" Zang Ba, who was still wealthy in the family, frowned and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the king is more greedy for money?" He wondered how a man who was so greedy for money could study swordsmanship without distraction and achieve such proud achievements in swordsmanship.

Cheng Pu, who sensed everyone's doubts, shook his head and explained for Wang Yue, who he didn't know, "It's not that Wang Yue is greedy for money, it's just ...... Alas, one day, if you juniors set foot in the imperial capital, you will naturally understand. Seriously, it's not a good place to be! ”

In the last sentence, Cheng Pu's tone was filled with endless sighs, as if in his eyes, the imperial capital Luoyang was a worse place than the Longtan Tiger's Den.

"......" Zhang Huang looked at Cheng Pu suspiciously.

He sincerely noticed that the cheerful and straightforward Uncle Cheng Pu was reluctant to talk about Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, and his words were full of endless disappointment and indignation.
