Tong Lifa lowered his head, only to see a long lance slowly drawn from his chest, blood gushing out, his right hand holding the scimitar wanted to slash horizontally, but he couldn't use his strength. Then, his body slowly fell backwards, his gaze swept over the soldiers who were still fighting fiercely around him, and finally froze in a blue sky and white clouds.

The big black man led the soldiers all the way over, and actually wiped out all the subordinates of Tong Lifa who entered Xinkou Town. Originally, Tong Lifa's men were all warriors who had survived a hundred battles, but they were scattered everywhere and were busy looting property, and it was difficult to organize effectively, which is why they were defeated so quickly. Even so, Liu Wuzhou's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and even the highest commander of this army, one of Liu Wuzhou's lieutenants, was killed in battle. The soldiers elected the black man as the leader, and under his leadership, occupied Chenghou Mountain.

Chenghou Mountain is not very high, but the terrain is dangerous, and there is only a narrow valley in the middle for cavalry to pass through. The people who survived the catastrophe in Xinkou Town also organized and joined their ranks. On the slopes on both sides of the long valley, a large number of rolling logs and rocks were piled up. When another small tribe passed through the valley, the rolling logs and rocks on the hillside were pushed down in one fell swoop, killing and injuring many Turkic knights, and completely blocking the road.

At this time, Huang Ziying, Liu Wuzhou's tribe, heard the news and hurriedly led a group of soldiers and horses over. Huang Ziying was originally the deputy general of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, and the army under Liu Wuzhou was mainly composed of the soldiers of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, and these soldiers guarding Chenghou Mountain could be counted as Huang Ziying's old subordinates. Huang Ziying knew the power of the Turks, and he also knew that Liu Wuzhou was now relying on the strength of the Turks, so the first thing he did when he came to Chenghou Mountain was to order the arrest of the big black man who was fighting against the Turks.

Knowing that the black man was arrested, the soldiers were furious, and the people of Xinkou Town also went to Huang Ziying to petition, Huang Ziying did not dare to deal with the black man at will for a while, so he had to order his own soldiers to temporarily detain him, and at the same time sent people to Pegasus to Yanmen to report this place to Liu Wuzhou. When Liu Wuzhou rushed back from Yanmen, it was already two days later.

Welcoming Liu Wuzhou into the camp, Huang Ziying immediately ordered someone to escort the big black man up, and said, "Lord, he is the one who blocked the road of the Turks. ”

The big black man shouted at the top of his voice: "The lord is the general of the Great Sui, how can he allow the Turks to kill the people of the Great Sui?" The lord killed his subordinates, and his subordinates were still unconvinced! ”

Huang Ziying said angrily: "When death is coming, I dare to be tough in front of the lord!" ”

Liu Wuzhou waved his hand, walked up to the black man, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?" ”

The black man raised his head and said loudly: "If a certain line does not change its name, it does not change its surname, Wei Chigong is!" ”

It turned out that Wei Chigong returned to Mayi after breaking up with Liu Ziqiu outside the Shaolin Temple and wanted to join the army. However, the Great Sui implemented a government military system, and non-military households could not serve as soldiers. Wei Chigong opened a blacksmith shop in Mayi. Later, when Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong and recruited troops and horses, Wei Chigong found the opportunity to join the army. But Liu Wuzhou reused the original government soldiers, Wei Chi Gongkong has a body of martial arts, but he only does some miscellaneous work, and rarely has the opportunity to perform, until this time he met Tong Lifa in Xinkou Town, which was the first battle he participated in.

Liu Wuzhou stared at Yu Chigong for a while, and then pulled out his sword suddenly. In a flash of cold light, the saber was already on Yu Chigong's neck. Wei Chi Gongyuan opened his eyes and glared at Liu Wuzhou, without the slightest fear. I saw Liu Wuzhou's wrist shake, and the saber drew a circle around Wei Chigong, and with a "choking" sound, it had been re-sheathed.

Wei Chi respectfully looked surprised, and moved his body slightly, but the rope that was originally tied to him had been broken and fell to the ground. Wei Chigong raised his head and glanced at Liu Wuzhou, and asked in surprise, "Lord, you won't kill me?" ”

Liu Wuzhou laughed and said, "Wei Chigong, you are really a good man." From now on, you are the tiger general under Liu! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Wei Chigong was stunned for a moment, then he understood, hugged his fist towards Liu Wuzhou, and said, "Qi Yu Lord, his subordinates are good at making claims and intercepting the Turks at the foot of Chenghou Mountain, I am afraid that the lord's plan will be ruined, and I hope that the lord will make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Wei Chigong is a Xianbei person, not a Han person, and he doesn't have much feeling about the suffering suffered by the Han people. And he was rough and arrogant on the surface, but in fact, he was delicate, and naturally understood that Liu Wuzhou was able to occupy the three counties because of the support of the Turks. In the past, he was just an ordinary soldier who could come by xìngzi. Now that he has become a general, he naturally has to consider the problem from the direction that is beneficial to Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou waved his hand and said, "It is only the Turkic Lifa tribe that has plagued Xinkou Town, and it is not about the blocking and public occupation tribes in the south of Chenghou Mountain. They've been stopped here for two or three days, and it's time to let them go. In this way, Liu sent two people over to talk to them. Wei Chigong, you immediately organize people to clear all the stones and trees that stand on the road. ”

Wei Chi Gong agreed, and was about to go out to clear the stones and trees on the road, when suddenly a soldier rushed in, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Lord Qi, the Turkic people and horses on the other side of Chenghou Mountain have disappeared!" ”

"It's broken! There was no way through, and they must have gone south! Liu Wu was stunned for a while, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Wei Chigong, do you think Liu doesn't hate these Turks?" But the Turks are powerful, and for a while, Liu had no choice but to make peace with them. It was not easy for Liu to say that he would return to the north, and they would go back one day earlier, so that the place would be peaceful one day earlier. Now those people have turned around and gone south, and I don't know how many people will be harmed! Alas, you did it wrong! ”

These words were just Liu Wuzhou's crooked reasoning, but Wei Chigong was really moved by him, lowered his head, and said, "Please punish the lord!" ”

Liu Wuzhou shook his head and said, "It's useless to punish you now, don't be reckless next time, go and clean up the road now." ”

It is easy to throw a large number of rocks and trees down the hillside, but it is not easy to clean it up. At that time, there were no large machinery, all carried by hand and shoulder, and the road was very narrow, and the personnel could not be opened, so the clean-up work lasted a whole day and a night before barely opening a passage. Wei Chigong took a breath and was about to report to Liu Wuzhou, when he saw smoke and dust rising from the south side of the passage, and a group of cavalry swept over.

Wei Chigong thought that it was the Turks who had gone and returned, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and ordered the soldiers to go up the mountain to form a formation, and his lone rider stood in the middle of the road.

I saw that the people on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, and the first one was also holding a long lance, but it was a Han man. Look at those people again, they are disheveled, their faces are sè, and the weapons in their hands are also varied. Where are the Turks, it is clear that they are a group of thieves.

Wei Chi Gong waved his long lance and shouted: "General Lang of the Great Sui Liu, General Wei Chi Gong is here, and the person who comes is not going to die quickly!" ”

His face is like black charcoal, his body is like an iron tower, he sits on a horse and is majestic, and he has the momentum of being a man and being invincible.

When the person on the other side saw it, he suddenly turned over and dismounted, prostrate on the ground, and said loudly: "In the lower Song Dynasty, I have come to defect to General Liu, and I hope that the general will introduce him on my behalf!" ”

Wei Chigong didn't dare to be careless, rode his horse over, leaned forward, his ape arm was lightly relaxed, grabbed Song Jingang, and lifted him onto the horse. Everyone behind Song Jingang shouted in surprise, and they all waved their blades to recapture Song Jingang.

Song Jingang was unusually calm, and said loudly: "You are waiting here, and you will come with this general Wei Chi!" ”

Seeing Song Jingang's performance, Wei Chigong was also quite surprised, nodded secretly, and said: "Don't worry, General Liu is a master, as long as you sincerely defect to General Liu, you will be fine." ”

It turned out that taking advantage of the chaos in the world, Song Jingang also raised a rebel army in Yizhou to attack the county and seize the county, and the momentum grew. Who expected that the good times would not last long, and the famous general Zhang Xutuo of the Great Sui personally led the army to attack. Song Jingang lost the first battle, and the second battle was even more defeated, so he had to lead the surviving more than 4,000 horses to flee to the west and enter the building. Lou Fu had just suffered from the scourge of the Turks, and there was no local government office, but Song Jingang and his gang came and went freely, so they heard about Liu Wuzhou's name. At this moment, the teams of the two tribes, Blockade and Gongchengzhan, who had retreated from Chenghou Mountain, were turning eastward and wanted to go back to the grassland, but they ran into Song Jingang.

Although these two tribes were large in number, their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the remnants of the group of Qi Lifa. On the contrary, although Song Jingang's subordinates were poorly equipped, they all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they fought as if they were dying, and they were a hundred times more fierce than the Turks. The brave man wins when he meets on the narrow road, and under the first battle, the Turkic soldiers and horses were defeated, and even the blocking record and the public rider Zhan himself lost their lives. Song Jingang took all the property and women that he had taken with great effort to capture the blockade and the public passengers, and turned to Liu Wuzhou, who were his gifts to Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou added such a new force out of thin air, and he was in a good mood, and immediately appointed Song Jingang as a general, and left him in the camp for a banquet.

Song Jingang has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he knows the art of war, and today he is under the command of Liu Wuzhou, and he intends to achieve some meritorious deeds. After three rounds of drinking, relying on a little drunkenness, Song Jingang persuaded: "Now that the chaos of the Great Sui has been decided, and the lord has the Turkic backing, why not raise the banner and plot the world?" ”

Liu Wuzhou actually had this intention for a long time, but Huang Ziying, who he relied on as his help, always thought that the time was not ripe. Now listening to Song Jingang's words, Liu Wuzhou couldn't help but feel that he hated seeing each other, nodded again and again, and said: "If Liu has to become a big thing, Ronghua should be with General Song!" ”

Song Jingang immediately fell to the ground and said loudly: "My subordinates are willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and they will never give up!" ”

Liu Wuzhou laughed, helped Song Jingang up, and asked, "I don't know if General Song has a wife?" ”
