Just when Cheng Zhijie was about to approach the big tent of the Chinese army, he suddenly heard a loud "boom", a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the big tent, and the people who rushed into the big tent in front of him let out a scream. Cheng Zhijie has a bad heart, and there must be a pit dug in the big tent in advance.

At this time, there were suddenly shouts around the camp. The torches were bright, and one of them shouted: "Listen to the fish mountain thieves, you have been surrounded!" Lay down your arms, pardon and other innocent people! Those who resist will be killed! ”

This shout was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it implied endless coercion, so that the fish mountain thief Kou Mo who rushed into the village was secretly frightened, and many people had already lowered their weapons. This shout was naturally made by Liu Ziqiu, and since he ascended the throne, his spiritual power seems to have improved invisibly. Although I don't know the method of cultivating spiritual power in the Dao, those who are in a high position naturally give people an unspeakable pressure between their gestures.

Cheng Zhijie also felt that his head was "buzzing", and he almost gave up resistance, but he quickly came back to his senses, waved his lance, and shouted: "Brothers, go out with so-and-so!" ”

Outside the camp, there was a sudden banging sound, and the sound of "whooshing" broke the air endlessly, and the surrounding fish mountain thieves screamed again and again.

They were shot with iron arrows, but they were covered in white cloth with lime, leaving only a few white spots on them. This is a headless arrow used in the Han army's exercises, and it originally did not have real lethality. But this time, the target of the iron arrow was not the Han soldiers with armor, but the fish mountain bandits. Even if they were shot by such a headless arrow, even if they were not fatal, they were also slightly or severely injured, and in severe cases, they even broke their bones and tendons. If a real iron arrow hits them, their lives will definitely be lost.

At this time, the voice outside the camp sounded again: "If you are obsessed again, let you see the real iron arrow!" ”

Hearing this, the thieves who were just about to risk their lives to rush out of the camp stopped one after another, looking around for a hiding place that could block the iron arrows. A few cronies who followed Cheng Zhijie were singles, gritted their teeth and said, "King, I'll escort you out of the city!" ”

Cheng Zhijie has always put righteousness first, which attracted everyone to swear to the death, this is the foundation of his life, how can he give it up? At this time, it was impossible for him to leave behind the minions and flee alone, so he had to puff up his chest and shout: "You can only deceive, but someone dares to come out and fight to the death!" ”

Outside the camp, Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "If you want to fight to the death, it depends on whether you have the qualifications!" ”

Single-handedly has become the only way out for the Yushan group, Cheng Zhijie was ruthless, and no longer concealed his identity, and said loudly: "Cheng Zhijie, the leader of Yushan, I don't know if Lu Dao is qualified enough!" ”

Liu Ziqiu also smiled: "Since you are Cheng Zhijie, I will give you a chance." If you can hold on to my hands for ten rounds, I'll let you go!" ”

Cheng Zhijie saw that the other party was so big, and it was clear that he didn't take him seriously, so he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and shouted: "Okay! I'm going to fight you! ”

At the gate of the camp, the lamp ball torch was as bright as day, Liu Ziqiu was dressed in a snow-white robe, carrying a big knife upside down, like a god, majestic. Cheng Zhijie was also not to be outdone, carrying a long lance, and stepped forward step by step.

Liu Ziqiu secretly wondered: "You make the lance not an opponent of a certain person, show your big axe!" ”

Cheng Zhijie was stunned: "What a big axe is not a big axe, this is a certain weapon!" You don't want to be noisy, eat a certain lance! ”

After speaking, the long lance in his hand stabbed straight towards Liu Ziqiu's door with a strong wind.

Only then did Liu Ziqiu realize that many historical stories have apocryphal elements, and Cheng Biting Jin's weapon was not a big axe at all, but a long lance. In fact, it can also be understood that in the Great Sui Dynasty, the lance was the most commonly used weapon, as Liu Ziqiu saw recently, many famous generals, such as Qin Shubao, Wei Chigong, and Luo Shixin, their weapons were actually lances. Even Wen Hao, Zhang Liang, Hua Yun and others, the original weapons were also lances, but they were later changed to long knives. Immediate engagements are flexible, and swords and axes are too heavy, and most of them can only be used for honor guards. Even the long knife that Wen Hao and the others are using now has been improved, but it weighs more than thirty catties. It is really unusual for Liu Ziqiu to wield a fifty-pound broadsword with ease, and it has higher requirements for horses.

But tonight is a foot battle, and Liu Ziqiu is even more like a fish in water. Liu Ziqiu barely made any movement for the long lance that Cheng Zhijie stabbed, and it wasn't until the lance came close that he saw his body twist at an impossible angle, and he could dodge this lance. Cheng Zhijie said with a pity, and swept over with another lance. Liu Ziqiu still didn't make much movement, and the tip of the lance was still a finger's width away from him, and he didn't even touch the placket.

Cheng Zhijie failed to hit Liu Ziqiu in two moves in a row, and he didn't feel annoyed and angry, jumped up, used the long lance as a big knife, and slashed at Liu Ziqiu's head. Liu Ziqiu's body twisted slightly, and the lance fell at his feet, but he still couldn't touch a cold hair of Liu Ziqiu.

The lance was running like a fly, with the sound of tigers and tigers, and nine moves had passed in an instant, and Cheng Zhijie realized that Liu Ziqiu's feet had not moved a step from beginning to end. This discovery surprised him, his martial arts were not on the same level as Liu Ziqiu at all.

"It's my turn next!" But listening to Liu Ziqiu's smile, the long knife slashed a circle in mid-air, and slashed at Cheng Zhijie.

In the panic, Cheng Zhijie blocked each other, but this block was empty, Liu Ziqiu's knife came from an incredible angle, and it was smashing on Cheng Zhijie's shoulder, directly smashing him to the ground, the blade was against his throat, and he was only an inch away from taking his life. The surrounding Yushan group was suddenly in chaos, and some people were screaming to come forward and fight with Liu Ziqiu, but they were shot back by a random arrow. However, the guards' arrows only hit the ground in front of them, and they did not really hurt them.

Liu Ziqiu put away the knife, raised his hand and said, "How is it?" To accept or not to accept? ”

Cheng Zhijie got up from the ground, moved his muscles and bones, and found that he didn't hurt anything, so he couldn't help shouting: "Don't accept it!" Again! ”

Liu Ziqiu was not angry, waved the long knife, and said lightly: "Okay!" I won't let you go this time! ”

Dare to love that Cheng Zhijie was able to hold up to ten moves in Liu Ziqiu's hands just now, and it was because Liu Ziqiu let him. This made the arrogant Cheng Zhijie extremely depressed, and without saying a word, he rushed up again. However, this time, Liu Ziqiu did what he said, he didn't let him make a move at all, he didn't even move the long knife, just a whip leg, and kicked Cheng Zhijie to the ground.

If he is more kung fu than horses, Cheng Zhijie can still fight Liu Ziqiu for three or five rounds, but compared to foot combat, he is really a little insufficient. After three more fights in a row, Liu Ziqiu made a move and threw him to the ground. It's just that Liu Ziqiu's strength is just right, and he only puts him down, and it doesn't hurt him in the slightest.

Looking at Cheng Zhijie, whose clothes were covered with mud, Liu Ziqiu raised his hand: "Still fighting?" ”

Cheng Zhijie threw the lance: "Don't fight!" ”

"Convincing or not?"

"Serve!"

"Then do you surrender or not?"

"Don't fall!"

Liu Ziqiu laughed angrily at his scoundrel appearance, couldn't help waving his hand, and said, "Come on, then his wife please come out." ”

With this shout, Tuoba Qianyu walked forward with Shi Huiniang in her arms, and more than a dozen female guards around her were each holding horizontal knives and shields. Now the situation is unclear, and Liu Ziqiu is also worried that some people in the group are plotting against each other, and secretly use cold arrows. In case he hurts Shi Huiniang, it doesn't matter if the matter is irreparable, and he himself will feel guilty and uneasy, so it's better to be careful.

Seeing that his wife really fell into the hands of others, Cheng Zhijie jumped up from the ground and shouted: "What kind of hero are you when you catch a woman!" ”

When Shi Huiniang saw her husband's down-and-out appearance, she couldn't help but feel heartache, sighed, and persuaded: "Lang Jun, for the sake of the child in the belly, you should surrender!" ”

Cheng Zhijie was in a dilemma, and sighed: "If so-and-so surrenders, what will these brothers do?" ”

Liu Ziqiu listened to his tone and loosened, threw the long knife to the guard behind him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange a way for them to live." ”

Cheng Zhijie hesitated for a moment and asked, "What way to live?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said: "The canal has thousands of miles of water, and someone has to dredge and maintain it. ”

Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said, "That's not good!" When Yang Guang was in power, the brothers did this, and they couldn't even eat enough, so they might as well be robbers! ”

"Nonsense! Now it is the Han Dynasty, how can it be compared to Yang Guang! Liu Ziqiu stiffened his face, "Being a robber is a life where there is no tomorrow today." If you are a thief yourself, do you want your children to be infamous for the rest of your life? In the future, the river workers will be different from the Great Sui, and the imperial court will pay wages on time. If you encounter an accident while maintaining the river, resulting in casualties, the imperial court will also give you a pension, how can you not be a robber! ”

During the Yang Guang period, these river laborers were voluntary laborers, and the imperial court did not allocate a copper plate, and their income mainly came from doing odd jobs for passing merchant ships or catching some fish from the canals. Canal boats come and go, and the fish are frightened, and it is not easy to catch. As for odd jobs, it's all about luck. Now that Liu Ziqiu promised to be paid by the imperial court, which is equivalent to giving them a fixed income, all the thieves can't help but be moved, and some people have quietly dropped their weapons.

Cheng Zhijie didn't believe that there was such a good thing, frowned and asked, "Can you call the shots?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Of course you can call the shots." If something is expected, the documents of the imperial court on the canal and river work should come down in a few days. Everyone can go back and wait for the good news. If the conditions given by the imperial court are not as everyone wishes, everyone can raise the flag and rebel again. ”

Cheng Zhijie was skeptical, and muttered: "You don't want to stabilize us first, and then find an opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn, right?" ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed loudly: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be appropriate for someone to directly order you all to be killed?" And why bother! ”

Shi Huiniang also continued to persuade: "Lang Jun, what the adult said has some truth, you can believe the adult!" ”

"Good! A certain will believe in you, and a certain wish will fall! Cheng Zhijie lowered his head and suddenly exclaimed, "It's broken!" ”
