Let's say that after Wen Chou was defeated by Zhang Yuan, his heart was full of infinite anger, and he wanted to continue to rush and kill, but the weapons and armor and horse mounts of the troops were gone, and he really had no combat power to fight with Zhang Yuan's army again, and he could only return to Jizhou on foot with the army full of anger.

And Zhang Yuan, after defeating Wen Chou, led his army to Liaoxi and Zuzhao round. After three days, as soon as he entered the territory of Liaoxi County, the spies reported on the Pegasus meteor, saying that an army was found not far ahead, all with loose hair and yellow scarves wrapped around their heads. The general led by this army is a general surnamed Yicheng, and it is not known who the specific one is, but the thief army is huge, with forty or fifty thousand people.

Although Zhang Yuan's army is all elite generals, but in the face of an army of forty or fifty thousand, and he doesn't know who their generals are, if they rashly attack, I am afraid that some will suffer. So Zhang Yuan asked Xu Tu: "Now that the thief army is overwhelming, what trick can Mr. have to lure the enemy?" ”

Xu Tu said: "Now that the enemy does not know the strength of our army, he can lure them over, and then divide them and punish them. Although the Yellow Turban Thieves are powerful, they are a rabble after all, and there is no need to be afraid, and there is a way to capture thieves and kings, as long as their leader is captured, then the other soldiers will inevitably flee, and there is no need to be afraid. ”

"That's a good idea." Zhang Yuan praised it. After planning with Xu Tu for a while, he explored a terrain suitable for ambush, and ambushed the army in the mountains, originally wanting Zhang Pre to lead the troops, but the deputy general said that in the face of such a Yellow Turban thief, why should Zhang Pre go out, he just led the troops forward.

This person has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a dark complexion, a big hammer, a thousand catties of power, surnamed Deng Mingzhong, and Zhang Yuan followed Zu Zhao together, once made a lot of contributions, and is now the vanguard general of Zhang Yuanjun. Zhang Yuan allowed him to go into battle and asked him to bring 500 troops to lure the Yellow Turban thieves into the trap.

Deng Zhong received the order, and with five hundred troops, he rushed directly to the Yellow Turban army. In his line, there were already Yellow Turban spies who told their generals the information. However, it was said that the general of this army was originally a brother of Cheng Yuanzhi, named Cheng Yuanxiong, who was also fat and healthy, and the waist strength of the tiger back bear was endless. used to follow Cheng Yuanzhi to follow Zhang Jiao to rebel, but later Cheng Yuanzhi died and Zhang Jiao was defeated, he took a group of remnants of the defeated generals to hide in the mountains and became a group of robbers, but he also had no worries about food and clothing, and there was no government army to encircle and suppress them.

Later, another defeated army came to his land, and he was supposed to lead his subordinates to rob, but who knew that it was a subordinate with Zhang Jiao, because he had suffered a defeat, so he fled here. Among them, the leader is a personal guard of Zhang Jiao. When Zhang Jiao died, he handed over the "Taiping Technique" to him. But the guard was illiterate, and he didn't understand the contents at all.

This Cheng Yuanxiong, although he looks rough, but he has studied for a few years, and he knows a few words, and he heard that the general who led the troops actually had Zhang Jiao's Taiping skills, and he was overjoyed and got it. But the content inside is unfathomable, Cheng Yuanxiong has studied for several months, and he only has a little bit of fur work, but he can also call the wind and rain, causing the weather to change greatly, and he can even use illusions, making people think that there are thousands of troops coming to help.

After having this function, Cheng Yuanxiong began to vigorously recruit troops and horses, intending to revolt again, but because the imperial court has been encircling and suppressing, in order to avoid its edge, he has also been hiding there, secretly developing his strength, but he has not been publicized.

At this moment, there were Yellow Turban Army rebellion everywhere, and some people attacked the entire territory of Liaoxi, Cheng Yuanxiong got the news and immediately went to Liaoxi with an army of 50,000, wanting to meet with the Yellow Turban Army there, so as to start their road to seize the world.

Coming here at this moment, a spy reported that an army was coming, and there were only 500 people in Zhilu Dao, Cheng Yuanxiong couldn't help but laugh, saying that this was a benefit sent to him, and immediately ordered the army to turn back and meet the challenge.

Deng Zhong led five hundred elite soldiers and rushed straight to the Yellow Turban Army's array, he brandished his axe and asked loudly: "Bold anti-thief, you still dare to cause chaos, and you don't report your name quickly." ”

Cheng Yuanxiong stepped forward and said sharply: "Where are you from that you dare to come to die." ”

Deng Zhong said: "I am a subordinate of Lord Zhaozu, the county guard of Liaodong County, and I heard that a yellow turban thief is going to Liaoxi, so I led the army to meet it again. Are you a Yellow Turban thief? ”

Cheng Yuanxiong said: "I am Cheng Yuanxiong, the general of the Yellow Turban Righteous Army, you don't know whether you are dead or alive, and you don't get off your horse and surrender quickly." ”

Deng Zhongha smiled and said: "The Yellow Turban Thief Party, the country and the people, and dare to speak wildly, I will take your head today." As he spoke, he brandished his axe and killed him. Cheng Yuanxiong disdained to fight him, and ordered a general around him to go out to meet the enemy. The deputy general brandished his twin knives, flew up, and took Deng Zhong directly.

The two intersected, and in only two rounds, the pair was beheaded by Deng Zhong with an axe. Cheng Yuanxiong was furious when he saw it, brandished a big knife, patted the horse's back and killed Deng Zhong directly, Deng Zhong was not afraid at all, and held an axe to kill Cheng Yuanxiong. Seeing that Deng Zhong was in good spirits and full of fighting spirit, Cheng Yuanxiong couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, and fought with him with all his spirit, and after less than 20 rounds of fighting, Deng Zhong was defeated. Cheng Yuanxiong commanded the army to chase after him, and chased him for a mile, only to hear a loud roar from behind, and a general rushed out with an army, it was a deputy general under Zhang Yuan, and the man shouted: "Where will the thief go." "Rushed directly towards Cheng Yuanxiong.

The two fought for less than 20 rounds, and Vice General Zhang Yuan was defeated. Cheng Yuanxiong knew some art of war, and chased here, fearing that there would be an ambush, so he sent people to look around, but there were no ambushes, so he continued to pursue. After chasing for about five miles, Cheng Yuanxiong looked back, and there were no ambushes, so he continued to pursue with the army. After chasing for a while, suddenly a person came out of front of him, played a banner, and scolded loudly: "The thief will leave and come to fight me to the death." ”

Cheng Yuanxiong reined in and asked, "Are you Zhang Yuanye, the general under Zu Zhao?" ”

"I'm his younger brother Zhang Pre, kill you, the Yellow Turban thief, and I don't need my brother to do it." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he came up with a gun. Cheng Yuanxiong knew that the first fierce general beside Dao Zuzhao was Zhang Yuan, but now it was his younger brother who came out, and he didn't dare to underestimate it in his heart, and he responded with vigor.

The two fought for less than fifty rounds, Zhang Pre made a flaw, and was almost cut down by Cheng Yuanxiong, Zhang Pre was horrified, immediately turned the horse's head, and fled. Cheng Yuanxiong sneered: "I have heard how brave Zhang Yuan is, he is the talent of the three armies, but now his brother can't take me for fifty rounds, that Zhang Yuan is also a mouse, not to be afraid." After speaking, he continued to urge the army to pursue. After chasing for a while, he was afraid that there would be an ambush, so he continued to let people probe around, and the spies reported that there was no ambush. Cheng Yuanxiong was very relieved, knowing that the enemy would not have an ambush, so he commanded the army to chase and kill as much as he wanted.

After chasing for a while, a stab in front of the stabbed was killed, and it was Deng Zhong again. Cheng Yuanxiong said angrily: "If you don't run for your life quickly, do you dare to turn back?" ”

Deng Zhong didn't say anything, and rushed directly to kill. Cheng Yuanzhi was angry, swung his knife forward, and after less than twenty rounds, Deng Zhong was defeated again, and the soldiers all fled through the woods, and Deng Zhong also flashed into the woods and disappeared.

Cheng Yuanxiong abandoned them and continued to chase them. Chased to the mouth of a valley, Cheng Yuanxiong was afraid of an ambush, and let people spy again, but there was still no ambush, Cheng Yuanxiong was relieved to catch up, and he was bound to take Zhang Pre, and when the time came, he would threaten Zhang Yuan, as long as there was no general except for Zhang Yuan, Zu Zhao would have no generals, then he could take advantage of the situation to seize Liaodong.

After chasing for a while, he saw Zhang Yu in front of him, and Cheng Yuanxiong shouted: "Zhang surnamed Xiaoer, do you dare to fight me to the death?" ”

Zhang pre-said: "If you dare to come, I will dare to kill." As he spoke, he stopped running away, and rushed straight to kill. Cheng Yuanxiong shouted loudly and chased after him. The two fought for forty or fifty rounds, Zhang Yu was defeated again, and just chased not far, only to see that Deng Zhong had already copied to the front, blocked the way, and said: "If you want to catch General Zhang, you have to pass my pass first." ”

Cheng Yuanxiong said angrily: "The defeated generals also dare to speak bravely." As he spoke, he directly commanded the army to charge and kill. Deng Zhong fought for ten rounds, and when he saw the thieves showing his way, he immediately fled, and the soldiers also threw away their armor and fled. When Cheng Yuanxiong's soldiers saw it, they dismounted and snatched it one after another. Most of them were clothed and had no armor, but now when they saw armor to grab, they naturally had to fight hard.

Cheng Yuanxiong also ignored the soldiers, and chased after him with cavalry. Along the way, Deng Zhong and Zhang Pre alternately covered and took turns to fight, and in each battle, soldiers abandoned their armor and fled, while Cheng Yuanxiong's subordinates naturally dismounted and fought and no longer participated in the pursuit.

When chasing before the wooden gate of a camp, Cheng Yuanxiong thought that he had arrived at the enemy's camp, and he didn't dare to chase anymore, and was about to retreat, but he stabbed Zhang Yu out again, and said loudly: "Thief Cheng Yuanxiong, I will no longer dodge, if you have the ability, you will chase after you, and I will fight you to the death." After saying that, he stood with his gun and stood up, without the slightest sign of running away.

Cheng Yuan was angry and slapped the horse. Zhang Pre responded to the battle with a gun, but after less than 20 rounds of battle, Zhang Pre was defeated again, and he crossed the camp and went directly to a small road. Cheng Yuanxiong sent people into the camp to check, knowing that it was an empty camp, it was estimated that it could accommodate more than 1,000 people, and now there is no one, but there is still residual heat, and it is estimated that there were still people before.

As soon as Cheng Yuanxiong calculated, he chased them all the way, and there might be a team of more than 1,000 people who came out to stop them. Now that Zhang has fled, there is no army left to resist. Cheng Yuanxiong was so strong that he didn't care about the army behind him, and chased Zhang Yu with more than a thousand light soldiers.

Along the way, I saw a lot of weapons and armor, as well as a little grain and grass, Cheng Yuanxiong's soldiers saw it, and hundreds of people dismounted and grabbed it, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't care, and continued to pursue with the army. Chased to a cliff, suddenly saw Zhang Yu in front, Cheng Yuanxiong shouted, about to rush to kill, suddenly heard a cannon sound, the front of the rocks and firewood rolling down, blocking the way forward.

"I've been tricked." Cheng Yuanxiong sighed secretly and immediately ordered the army to retreat, but before the order came out, there was a sound of rocks and firewood rolling down behind him, and the way back was also jammed. Cheng Yuanxiong was shocked, and at this moment he saw an army appear on the mountain, led by one person, the same as Zhang Yu, holding a hook and sickle, a talent, majestic, it was Zhang Yuan.

"The thieves will disrupt the party, you are now in my ambush, and you dare to ask for your life?" Zhang Yuan said.

Cheng Yuanxiong raised his head and asked, "Are you Zhang Yuan, the general next to Zu Zhao?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "I also let you die blindly, that's right, I am Zhang Yuan, you are not ashamed to die in my hands." As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows. The soldiers on both sides fired arrows together, killing all of Cheng Yuanxiong's nearly 1,000 cavalry, but that Cheng Yuanxiong was quite capable, but he was only hit by an arrow in the arm. When the soldiers were waiting for the arrows, Cheng Yuanxiong suddenly had words in his mouth, and suddenly the wind blew fiercely, blowing so that everyone couldn't open their eyes and couldn't see the direction clearly. Some soldiers were panicked in their hearts, and they had no sense of direction, and their hearts were nervous, and they shot arrows indiscriminately, but they hit their own people, and the others were all frightened when they heard the shouts, and they drew their bows with arrows one after another, and shot indiscriminately, killing and wounding many people.

Zhang Yuan saw that the situation was not good, it turned out that Cheng Yuanxiong actually knew the demon method, but it was the same as the demon method used by Zhang Jiao before, he immediately asked everyone to stop, this is just an illusion, it will not hurt people. After listening to Zhang Yuan's order, all the soldiers stopped one after another. When the wind passed, I looked below, but Cheng Yuanxiong was gone.

Just as he was surprised, a spy came to hug him, Cheng Yuanxiong had already fled, and now he was joining his army and leaving quickly, not daring to stay longer. It was a good time to pursue, but Zhang Yuan thought that Cheng Yuanxiong actually knew how to demons, and he was afraid that the soldiers would hurt his own people because they didn't know, so he decided not to chase and let the spies continue to probe to see where they were camped and what were the trends. The spies were ordered to go.

"It's a good game. It's really unwilling for him to escape like this. Zhang Zhen put the gun on the ground in hatred.

Xu Tu also had a look of displeasure on his face, and said: "I didn't expect him to know such a demon method, as long as his demon method comes out, our army will definitely be in chaos, how should this be?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I look at his demon method, which is no different from all the demon methods of Zhang Jiao before, and it is far less powerful than Zhang Jiao. Before, I attacked Zhang Jiao with General Zu, and at that time, General Zu used dog blood, pig dung and other filthy things to break Zhang Jiao's demon law, and I think now we can also use this method to break his demon law. After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he immediately ordered people to go to the nearby villages to collect all the filthy things such as dog blood and pig dung, so as to use them to break Cheng Yuan's bear demon method.

The soldiers were ordered to be led by Deng Zhong to collect filth in the nearby villages. And Zhang Yu and the others took the soldiers and set up camp on the spot to prevent Cheng Yuanxiong from sneaking attack.

Let's say that after Cheng Yuanxiong escaped with demon methods, he was even horrified in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he had fallen for the trick like this, and almost lost his life, but he was also happy in his heart, fortunately, he knew this kind of Taoism, otherwise he would really return to the West Heaven. He found a place to camp on the water side of the mountain, and at the same time asked the spies to spy on the situation of Zhang Yuan's army.

At night, Cheng Yuanxiong didn't know how many military horses Zhang Yuan had, in order to prevent them from sneaking up on the camp, let the soldiers take turns to keep vigil and not relax, and at the same time he also set up a formation on the periphery of the camp, as long as Zhang Yuan's army dared to sneak attack, then he would be able to find out as soon as possible and lead the army to counterattack.

There was nothing to do all night, and the next morning, before the army had eaten, a spy came to report that Zhang Yuan's army had sent a general, less than two miles away from them. Cheng Yuanxiong listened to it and sneered: "There are less than two thousand people coming, not enough to be afraid, notify the three armies, be ready to attack at any time, as long as I use the Dao method, the army will attack immediately." ”

Not long after, a group of military horses appeared in front of the camp, with a total of less than 2,000 people, the first general, it was Zhang Yuan, and on his left, the deputy general Liao Bo, and on the right was the deputy general Deng Zhong. These two lieutenants fought against Cheng Yuanxiong yesterday, and they were defeated in less than ten rounds, but that was needed for a strategy, whether they could fight Yuanxiong in the end, no one could know the way, unless this battle could be won or lost.

Cheng Yuanxiong rushed out with the army, the two armies faced each other, Cheng Yuanxiong said loudly: "I couldn't kill me yesterday, will you come to die today?" ”

Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Yesterday I spared your demon dog's life, and today I came to take it." Do you dare to fight? ”

Cheng Yuanxiong said: "My subordinates are defeated, and I disdain to fight with you." After speaking, he said to the left and right: "Who dares to fight?" ”

As soon as the general came out, this person had a black beard, but no long hair, and he was wrapped in a yellow scarf on his head, looking fierce and vicious. Cheng Yuanxiong was overjoyed and ordered him to fight. Deng Zhong saw it, and without waiting for Zhang Pre-order, he directly slapped his horse out.

The two fought more than 100 rounds in front of the two armies, and they still won or lost. After another 50 rounds of fighting, Deng Zhong's horse's hooves suddenly missed, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground. When the black-bearded general saw it, he immediately came straight to Deng Zhong. When Zhang Zhuan saw it, he was shocked, and immediately pulled the bow with an arrow, and an arrow shot out, hitting the right arm in the middle and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground. The general roared, and without a weapon in his hand, he did not dare to come, and rode back.

At the same time, Liao Bo rode out and rescued Deng Zhong. "Thank you, General, for saving your life. The young general was defeated, which damaged the morale of the army, and asked the general to punish "Deng Zhong knelt down to Zhang and pleaded guilty."

Zhang Yu dismounted and helped him up, and said: "It is not your fault that the horse has lost its front hooves, victory or defeat is impermanent, so why bother." ”

Deng Zhong was grateful for a while and waited for Zhang Yu to be around. At this moment, another one rushed out from the opposite side, using a double halberd in his hand, and scolded. When Liao Bo saw it, he immediately waved his spear and slapped his horse out, and went straight to the general. After less than fifty rounds of fighting, one shot will be under the horse.

When Cheng Yuanxiong saw this, he was furious in his heart, and said loudly: "Who dares to fight?" ”

"The end will go." As the words fell, an eight-foot-long lieutenant with fat ears rushed out with a big knife. But after only twenty rounds of fighting, he was killed by Liao Bo with one shot. Seeing that he was about to die, without waiting for Cheng Yuanxiong's order, the two lieutenants on the left and right rushed out at the same time and took Liao Bo directly.

When Liao Bo saw it, he was not afraid in the play, and he fought with vigor. In less than 20 rounds of fighting, he stabbed one to death with one shot, and the other saw the situation, turned the horse's head and fled, Liao Bo raised the gun, dart out, hit the general's back, screamed, fell off the horse, lay on the ground and died.

Liao Bo stepped forward, pulled out his gun, pointed at Cheng Yuanxiong's army and said loudly: "Who dares to come?" ”

When Cheng Yuanxiong's troops saw this, they all took half a step back, and no one dared to fight. Liao Bo killed Cheng Yuanxiong's four generals one after another, and Zhang Yu's army couldn't help cheering loudly and applauding one after another. Zhang Yu couldn't help but praise: "It's really a tiger." "It turns out that this Liao Bo has markings, and the battle is brave, and people give the nickname Flower-faced Tiger, Zhang Pre-sighed.
