Chapter 60: Talent Show

On the official road leading from Beihai to Xiapi, a small town along the way rushed into a government official, and he reported to the town guard that there were about 300 bandits swaggering on the main road towards the town, and these bandits did not even shy away from the surprised eyes of the people.

The town guards were shocked, they only had a few servants, how could they resist the attack of the bandits? However, the inhabitants here have been harassed by bandits for a long time, and they have long been fierce and good at fighting.

The town watchman beat the big drum on the castle tower, and the dull sound of the drum spread throughout the town.

After the townspeople stopped what they were doing and carefully distinguished the sound of the drums, many young men quietly took out their bows and arrows and blades, pushed open the doors of their homes, and then gathered on the streets, and when they were full, they ran to the north gate of the town.

The drums contained the news they needed: there were bandits coming, in the direction of the north, about three hundred!

In the end, no less than 200 people gathered on the city tower, they held weapons in their hands, and stared at the 300 people who came slowly without fear, and they saw that although these 300 people were dressed in rags, they were all young and strong men, and everyone was still armed with swords, and there was no doubt that they were indeed bandits.

Of course, they didn't wear yellow scarves on their heads, so they shouldn't be rebels from Taiping Road.

From a distance, the thieves saw that the gates of the town were closed, and there was a crowd of black-pressed people staring at them coldly, holding longbows and broadswords in their hands, and definitely not flowers.

The bandit was slightly flustered and gradually stopped.

At the front of the thieves were two neatly dressed young men, one of whom was even more unusually bald, very peculiar.

Deadwood smiled and said to that year: "I don't know that the town in front of me is going to Xiapi with the surrendered Yellow Turban Army, now it depends on whether you, the master of Qingzhou Thorn History, have face, and how can you let us pass through this Xuzhou town smoothly?" ”

That year smiled slightly, and stepped forward alone.

The leader on the city wall stretched out his hand to stop the people around him from shooting arrows with bows.

That year, he walked slowly to the city gate, and there were no arrows on the city wall, which surprised him. Although this place belonged to Xuzhou, he had never heard that there were good martial artists in Xuzhou who would be sent to such a small town.

Slightly disappointed that year, he was also ready to perform an empty-handed flying arrow to prove his identity.

Seeing that the people on the city wall did not take the initiative to speak, they had to say loudly that year: "I am a member of the Longteng Squad, the division of the Qingzhou Thorn History, the Xuzhou Mu Senator, and the guest secretary of the Mi Merchant Bank, and now I am going to Xiapi with 300 people from Toucheng Taiping Road, and I also ask the town guard to call the city gate and allow us to pass!" ”

Dragon Squad? The people on the city wall were in an uproar, of course they had heard of the Dragon Squad, although they were well-trained and good at fighting, but they were not real soldiers after all, so they did not have the strict discipline of the army.

One of the armed people was in the middle, stepped forward, stepped on the female wall, and asked the year under the wall: "You said that you are a member of the Dragon Squad, do you have any evidence?" ”

When I saw it that year, I applauded in my heart, this person was fierce and powerful, full of fortitude, although there was still a trace of childishness, but just looking at the appearance was a good general, and in that year's perception, the energy in this person's body was not trivial, although it was far less than Tai Shici and Zhang Liao's super-first-class level, but it was also comparable to Zu Mao under Sun Jian, and he could be regarded as a second-rate fierce general.

Looking at this person, he is still very young, and there is no possibility of improvement in the future!

Who is this person? It's unlikely to be an obscurity, right?

That year's heart turned like lightning, but his hand was not slow, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and threw a token to the city tower.

It is not difficult to throw the token on the city tower, but as soon as this military general stretched out his hand, the token gently fell into his hand, it seemed to be as light as nothing, this person's vision is also good, and he was immediately slightly moved, this kind of lightness is very accessible!

He knew that he couldn't make such an understatement, and he believed a little bit that the people under the city were Beihai Longteng.

He solemnly looked at the token, made of jasper, and there was a big "hole" in the middle, which was extremely exquisite, and it should not be forged by thieves.

This person clenched his fist down with some embarrassment: "This hero, do you know that this is the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, although the two states of Qingxu have been formed, they have not been merged, and Master Kong's token has no jurisdiction over us!" ”

After that, he added: "Besides, we are people of the mountains and wilderness, how can we know that this card is true?" Can the frame be proved otherwise? ”

When I heard it that year, it was right, the Confucian Mansion token really couldn't restrain the Xuzhou government, so he took out the Keqing token of the Mi family firm and threw it up.

This person took a look and was convinced a little again, he had still seen the token of the Mi Clan's trading house.

He clenched his fists again and said slightly apologetically: "This card can indeed prove that Mr. Gui is a guest of the Mi Clan's trading house, but how can it prove that Mr. is a person of Longteng?" We have admired Mr. Longteng for a long time, and we will never allow anyone to pretend to be him! ”

I laughed that year, this person is indeed cautious enough, and when he hears that others admire him, he won't be angry with anyone, right?

That year I thought about it, and suddenly asked: "I don't know what to call this hero?" ”

This person solemnly hugged his fist: "In the lower Langya to remove Sheng, the word is Xiang, and the current position of Wuwei in Langya Ju County." ”

Xu Sheng? I'll go, Soochow general! How did it end up here? It was a pleasant surprise.

That year, he asked suspiciously: "This is Langya County?" ”

Xu Sheng nodded: "It is indeed Langya County, and it is also known as Ju County." ”

I figured it out at once that year, although I don't know where Except Sheng is from, now judging from his self-title, he is a local, and although he is a general of Eastern Wu in history, Sun Ce is still working under Yuan Shu, Xu Sheng is so young, it is very possible to be a small military attache in his hometown.

That year, the joy blossomed in my heart, recruiting a thief, not to mention a Guan Hai, and I could pick up Xu Sheng by the way! Now that I know that you are here, I won't let you run to Sun Ce's place for anything!

That year, he hugged his fist at Xu Sheng with a smile on his face, Xu Sheng was a little inexplicable, he was a martial guard in a small county, but looking at the expression of the person opposite, as if he had heard of him.

That year, I took off the Biluo on my back again, and with a slight shake, a foot-long spear appeared on the tip of the gun! Xu Sheng was immediately moved, this is definitely not a martial art that the Three Kingdoms can have!

That year, I swiped lightly towards the ground, and the tip of the gun was three inches from the ground, but the spear made a deep mark on the ground!

The people on the city walls were immediately in an uproar, is this witchcraft? And the thieves behind him that year also saw this scene, and immediately restrained their carelessness, stood up straight one by one, and became solemn!

They were scared by that year, but at that time, they only used fists, not guns.

Xu Sheng also simply knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have seen Mr., but Mr. is the prince of Long Teng?" ”

It turned out that he had long suspected that the people under the city were that year, and the appearance of the people in the Dragon Teng Squad had already been described in the word of mouth of the people.

Xu Sheng determined through the gun that this person was indeed a person from outside the mountain, and combined with the token and appearance, how could he not guess that this person was Long Teng?

That year, he was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "The public doesn't dare to bear it!" And we people outside the mountain don't like others to kneel, and I'm not General Wen Xiang's superior, so you don't have to call yourself a subordinate, General Wen Xiang please get up quickly! Also, can you open the door for us? ”

Xu Sheng stood up, waved his hand, the gate of the county town slowly opened, and Xu Sheng hugged his fists to the left and right: "Thank you for your help, now you are invincible, folks, please go back." ”

The armed people on the city walls immediately dispersed, and before leaving, they all looked at the year under the city with curious eyes.

That year, he walked back to the bandit team and said to Guan Hai on the soft collapse: "General Guan, you have to restrain your subordinates, and you must not harass the people or make trouble when you enter the city!" ”

Although Guan Hai, who was seriously injured, was pulled back from the brink of death by him after being treated that year, he was still weak, and he said weakly: "Sir, don't worry, with you, they don't dare to make a mistake, and they are also afraid of Master Deadwood's preaching, so no one dares to disobey the order, please rest assured." ”

It turns out that Deadwood sits quietly in front of him and preaches, and it also has such power? I smiled in my heart that year.

That year nodded, and walked into the county seat with the yellow turban thieves.

When he went up to Liangshan, he didn't coax him up, but fought all the way up to the Juyi Hall on the top of the mountain, although he only used boxing from time to time, trying not to take the lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers, but behind him, there were hundreds of traitors who fell to the ground along the way!

Therefore, tens of thousands of people in the Yellow Turban Army heard about the name of that year, and they were all terrified when they saw it, for fear that this killing god would burst out and kill people!

This year, he and Deadwood took Guan Hai to Xiapi, and they could only bring three hundred elites first, which can be regarded as Guan Hai's guards, and then send people to receive the large army of the Yellow Turban Army.

Although these three hundred thieves are considered elite, their banditry is difficult to change, but as long as they are in front of them that year, they really don't dare to make a mistake.

In addition to being afraid of the force of that year, they also understood that their net worth and future, including the land and tax cuts promised to them that year, were pinned on that year, how could they dare to disobey the orders of that year?

Entering the city gate, Xu Sheng was already waiting in the door, he led the people to enter that year, but how to arrange the three hundred thieves made Xu Sheng embarrassed, Ju County is only a small county, but there is no inn that can accommodate more than three hundred people.

Fortunately, the county Cheng who rushed to relieve Xu Sheng of the siege, he also saluted his subordinates that year, he and Xu Sheng both knew that the merger of Qingxu and Xu was imminent, and the Longteng team was the unnamed state pastor of these two states!

The county arranged a huge free courtyard for the three hundred thieves, and finally settled the people.

Then he earnestly asked for instructions on his work that year, and that year laughed, thanking the county for his hospitality and at the same time praising his work.

This is not a kind word that year, on the side of the mountains where there are many bandits, he can run this town well, and he is indeed worthy of a talented word.

That year, he repaired two letters at the same time, asked the county to pass through the post station, and sent one to Guo Wei in Xiapi, in order to tell them that they had successfully found the dead wood that year, and at the same time completed the work of recruiting Guan Hai, for safety reasons, he and the dead wood will take Guan Hai to Xiapi to defect to Guo Wei, he asked Guo Wei to make preparations for accepting the bandits, and at the same time asked Guo Wei to give orders to the counties along the way, so that they can pass smoothly, otherwise, every time you need to make that year famous, maybe a talent show! It was a very annoying year.

The second letter was to be sent to Beihai, he wanted to inform Li Muhao and Hongyun of his whereabouts and that of Deadwood, and at the same time suggested that Hongyun also go to Xiapi, no matter how fast the horse was, it could not compare to Hongyun's flight, so Hongyun might also need to act as a messenger, so as to make Xiapi and Beihai more informed.

As for whether Senior Sister Hongyun is willing to allow to be a human pigeon, he will do Hongyun's work again when he arrives in Xiapi.

The county man said yes and left in a hurry with two letters.

Xu Sheng also wanted to leave together, but was stopped by that year, and invited Xu Sheng to sit down and drink a few cups of tea with him, which made Xu Sheng very panicked, and finally under the persuasion of that year, Xu Sheng and that year sat opposite each other.

That year, I wondered why there were so many guards in the town, and they didn't look like officers and soldiers.

Xu Sheng hurriedly explained that this was the township guard he organized, all of whom were ordinary people, but they often trained together, and when they encountered bandits and bandits, the township guards could organize themselves to fight against foreign enemies.

That year, he was secretly shocked, this Xu Sheng deserved to be a famous general in Eastern Wu in the future, and he was far superior to ordinary generals in terms of organizing township guards.

That year, he asked why the village guards were moving so quickly, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, the village guards scattered everywhere were already standing on the city wall in order.

Xu Sheng also explained that this is a drum warning he invented, and each long pause represents a meaning, the first paragraph indicates the reason, such as the attack of bandits, the second paragraph indicates the direction, and the third paragraph indicates the number of enemies, and it can also be extended downwards depending on the situation.

I was surprised again that year, this Xu Sheng is very smart, isn't this the predecessor of the telegram cipher? Xu Sheng came up with it so early? Talented!

That year, I was going to go back, and then let Guo Wei transfer Xu Sheng to Xiapi to entrust him with important tasks, but now seeing that Xu Sheng is so powerful in commanding the army, I really don't want to wait any longer that year.

That year, he said sincerely: "I don't know the reason for the nearby counties, I will definitely block more, General Wen Xiang is a local person, he must be familiar with the nearby counties, right?" Can you walk with me to help us get through? ”

When Xu Sheng heard that he could walk with that year, he was overjoyed, and he hugged his fists and said: "As long as the county Cheng agrees, I wish to go!" ”

When I heard it that year, I secretly rejoiced: "It's done, and another tiger general has been kidnapped!" ”

As for that county, how could he not agree.
