In the afternoon, in the Huangjiabao meeting hall, dozens of prestigious old men in the fort arrived one after another, and Huang Tai described the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and asked everyone to discuss and express their opinions.

For a while, the hall was full of people and discussions.

An old man with a fat shape and a thick beard said loudly: "I Huangjiabao can go to the battlefield more than 2,000 people, plus the city wall is high and solid, and the food is abundant, I am afraid that he will do something, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will come to cover the earth, forgive him What can I do?"

Someone chimed in: "Yes, I'm not afraid of him!"

An old man in a thin black shirt said: "The population of the Zalai tribe is tens of thousands, and I am afraid that there are 10,000 people who can fight, can we defend for a month, can we defend for a year?

The old man with a thick beard said angrily: "It's a big deal to die with them!"

A white-haired old man said in a clear voice: "Recently, the world has been in turmoil, I heard that a large number of Han people in Hebei have moved to Jiangdong, and we can't live here in peace, so why don't we also move south? It's just a pity that the fertile fields left by our ancestors are here!"

As soon as this remark came out, most of the people nodded in approval.

Huang Tai carefully observed everyone's discussions, and his heart was already measured.

The fat-shaped and thick-bearded old man said again: "Lord Huangbao, you can make up your mind! The crowd echoed in unison.

Huang Tai got up, bowed deeply to everyone, and said in a clear voice: "The dog is reckless and has caused a big disaster, and the old man is here to make amends to everyone." Now there is a big chaos and thieves are rampant, but Huangjiabao is not a place to live for a long time. And the Jin Court is thousands of miles away, and there are many thieves on the way, and they set off blindly, only fearing that there will be more luck and less luck. Wang Qing, the lord of Wangjiabao Fort in Xingyang County, is my old friend in Beijing in previous years. The day before yesterday, a letter was sent, which said that the Jin court had launched a large-scale northern expedition, and the Central Plains scholars and the general public had crossed the river and surrendered. He has contacted more than 500 families in the county, about 100,000 people, and set off in Shuangshi Town on the day of this month, and said that he had sent a request for ambulance to the Jin Court, and the ambulance soldiers and horses would be answered in Qian County. At the same time, the lord of the castle advised me to move south together to avoid trouble. The situation is critical, and it seems that this is the only way. We will wait patiently for a few more days, and then we will join the people of Xingyang in the promotion. ”

As soon as the words fell, a Zhuang Ding came to report in a hurry: "Lord of Huangbao, thousands of Hu soldiers have been killed outside the south gate, and they are about to attack the city." ”

The crowd was shocked and in chaos.

Huang Tai's heart also sank, he expected that the Hu people would come to attack the city, but he didn't want to come so quickly, and secretly thought: I have to stabilize people's hearts first, and then think of a strategy to resist the enemy. So, he first ordered Huang Xian and Huang Yuan to send Zhuang Ding to guard the city, strengthen precautions, and then shouted to everyone: "Father, old folks, don't worry, I, Huang Tai, promise you that on the 15th of this month, I will lead everyone to Shuangshi Town on time to meet with the people of Xingyang and join the Jin." ”

Someone asked loudly: "Now that the thieves are besieging the city, how can we escape by helping the old and the young?"

Huang Tai said: "I have my own proper arrangements, and it is inconvenient to tell you now, in case I leak the secret and be known by the thief!"

Everyone was skeptical, and Huang Tai said: "The top priority is to bother everyone, go back and mobilize men who can fight, and go to the city wall to defend against the enemy!"

Everyone knew in their hearts that if the castle was breached, the consequences would be unimaginable, so they had to go back, on the one hand, send their own strong men to resist the enemy, and on the other hand, pack up the soft and prepare to escape from Huangjiabao.

Huang Tai and Dian Heng sent the elders away and rushed to the south gate.

Huang Xian, Dian Ruojing, Huang Yuan, and Dian Ruolan have already led Zhuang Ding to defend the city to repel an attack by Hu soldiers, and both sides have suffered casualties. Ruojing was originally at her mother's house, and when she heard that her husband was injured, she was very sad, so she hurried back and assisted the Huang Xian brothers with her sister Ruolan in defending the city.

Huang Tai climbed the city tower to look, only to see that the Hu soldiers had set up camp in the distance, front and back, continuous, and had surrounded Huangjiabao.

As the sky got darker, the war horses in Huying neighed, revealing a murderous aura. The two couples accompanied their father to inspect the city wall, and strictly ordered the leader of Zhuang Ding to strengthen his guard and not slack off.

Huang Tai saw that there was no omission in the city defense, so he relieved himself and ordered the two brothers to inspect on time and properly arrange for Zhuang Ding to guard the city in shifts. After the entrustment was completed, Huang Tai and Dian Heng went home without mentioning it.

The two brothers, Huang Xian and Huang Yuan, did not dare to slack off, so they ordered the food camp to transport the food to the city wall, and the village guarding the city to monitor the enemy situation while using the rice.

The city wall of Huangjiabao is strong and tall, the pheasant moat and the lookout hole are complete, and several people can be parallel on the city wall, and everyone does not feel narrow to eat here. After the meal, Huang Yuan said: "Big brother, sister-in-law is pregnant, and you are also injured, you go back to rest first, and Ruolan and I will defend it tonight!"

Huang Xian groaned: "Then it's hard second brother and younger brother!" The four of them parted.

When she got home, Ruojing went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginseng soup, brought it to Huang Xian, and said softly: "Brother Xian, does the wound still hurt? Drink this bowl of ginseng soup to replenish your body." After speaking, he stared at Huang Xian, and his watery apricot eyes were full of concern.

Huang Xian took the ginseng soup and blamed himself apologetically: "It's no big deal, don't worry about me." Sister Jing, because I was too reckless, I brought great disaster to Huangjiabao!" So he roughly told his wife what happened.

Ruojing comforted: "Brother Xian, you don't have to blame yourself, these Hu people are rampant and domineering on weekdays, and they regard us Huangjiabao as a thorn in their side, even if there is no conflict today, they will come to the door sooner or later!" As she spoke, Ruojing brought hot water to wash her husband's feet and served him to sleep before going to bed.

After a day of fighting, Huang Xian was exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

In his sleep, Huang Xian came to a palace, Master Lin walked out from the inside, led him to the front of the first bedroom, and said: "To collect yin and supplement yang, you must grasp the essentials of fire, otherwise, you can't help but be unable to achieve miraculous success, and I am afraid that it will hurt your body." Go, the Holy Maiden is waiting inside!"

Huang Xian went straight inside, there were a few feasts in the indoor screen, beautifully decorated, and in the curtain on the bed, a young girl's jade body was horizontal, with affection. Huang Xian suddenly felt that his desire was blazing, his heart was shaking, and he couldn't control himself, even if he undressed and went to bed, he took the girl into his arms and lingered together.

I overheard Master Lin shouting: Turn your desire into wisdom and be angry with Dantian. The woman seems to be unbearable, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, her pink is lewd, her eyes are angry, and when she examines it carefully, it is his wife Ruojing, who woke up in shock, but it was a dream, and she felt that her lower body was sticky and wet, and she was already a dream.

There was a sound of bangzi on the street, it was the second watch, Huang Xian couldn't sleep for a while, so he recalled the situation of getting acquainted with Master Lin.

Master Lin was originally a Taoist priest of Qixia Temple in Xishan, half a year ago, the Taoist Temple was burned by the Hu people, and there was nowhere to live, so he slept in Huangjiabao City. Huang Xian felt pity when he saw it, and settled him in the compound of the head of the training ground and served three meals. On weekdays, Huang Xian practiced the fort, which was convenient for the head to practice martial arts in the compound. Whenever this happens, the Lindao people smile and sit quietly and watch.

After going back and forth, after a long time, Huang Xian asked Lin Daoren: "Isn't Lin Daoist also aware of martial arts?"

Lin Daoren nodded and smiled.

Huang Xian invited him to try his skills. Lin Daoren did not shirk, took a wooden stick casually, and asked Huang Xian to attack. Huang Xian was young and vigorous, and he didn't take the old Taoist priest in his eyes, he deliberately showed off his gun skills, and when he saw the Taoist priest pulling his hair in a bun, he deliberately wanted to shoot his hair in a bun to scare him. Huang Xian made up his mind, shook the spear and stabbed, and the red tassel at the root of the spear head rotated, like a red disc, holding the silver spear as fast as a meteor, and went straight to the top of the Taoist priest's head to pierce the bun.

Huang Xian thought to himself: Let you see the power of this young castle master, this shot has to scare you into a cold sweat. Who knew that Lin Daoren was not in a hurry, and raised his stick to the left side of Huang Xian's gun, Huang Xian felt that there was a strong force to snatch away the gun in his hand, and he used all his strength to fight against this force, but his body was uncontrollable, and he fell straight to the open space in front of Lin Daoren.

Lin Dao was quick and gently held Huang Xian. Huang Xian was shocked, he didn't expect Lin Daoren to have such miraculous skills, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, called Master, and begged Lin Daoren to accept him as an apprentice and teach him the stick skills. Lin Daoren happily agreed, and then taught him the stick technique.

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest said goodbye, said that he wanted to travel the world, parting with a book of martial arts secrets to Huang Xian, and said: "Disciple, the martial arts contained in this book can not be practiced in vain, but you can learn one or two of them, you will be able to succeed. After speaking, he drifted away.

Huang Xian looked through the cheats, and the martial arts contained in them were very bizarre, mostly related to the guidance and cultivation of pills, and the sentences were obscure and difficult to understand, which was very different from what his father-in-law taught. One of the sessions is devoted to the practice of male and female practice, the quick way to complement yin and yang, the combination of diagrams, and the details of pranayama and the secrets of visualization.

After Huang Xian saw it, his ears were red and his face was hot, and he thought to himself: There is such a strange cultivation method in the world, if it is a husband and wife who practice together, it is very convenient. While recalling, Ruojing rolled over, snuggled under Huang Xian's shoulder, and fell asleep again. The moonlight shines in front of the bed through the window cracks, everything in the room is vaguely recognizable, Huang Xian looks sideways, his hair covers the pillow, his shoulders are slightly exposed, he is sleeping peacefully, recalling the scene in the dream, and the feeling of apology arises spontaneously.

Since I got this cultivation secret book, when I was entangled with my wife, I had to practice according to what was taught in the book, who knew that Ruojing was quite disgusted and did not cooperate, and the little couple quarreled twice about it.

Huang Xian looked at the sleeping Ruojing again, tucked the corner of the quilt for his wife, and secretly thought: Ruojing is two months pregnant, and she must not go her own way in the future, which hurts the heart of his beloved wife. He thought of the daytime competition again, and a trace of pride swept through his heart, and secretly thought: The martial arts contained in this secret book are also good, and Helian Longjian was killed by his own punch, which is really incredible. But when I thought of the Hu people's siege of the city, it was directly caused by this conflict, and my mood became heavy again. Thinking like this, Huang Xian fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Huang Xian accompanied his father to Nancheng Tower to replace his second brother Huang Yuan. Huang Tai ordered a pre-written letter to be shot at the enemy camp. The letter wrote: As long as he is willing to withdraw from the army, Huangjiabao is willing to compensate 1,000 taels of gold, plus 1,000 cattle and sheep.

How could Helian Longqiang and Helian Longshu agree that this time they will send troops to wash Huangjiabao in blood and avenge the third brother. Helian Long forcibly tore up the letter, but did not reply, and then besieged the city.

Huangjiabao desperately defended, coupled with the high and solid city wall, the Zha Lai tribe could not attack the city for a while. For many days, the city was attacked every day, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. When all the rolling wood and stones in Huangjiabao were used up, the house was demolished and the wood and bricks were taken out to ward off the enemy.

Seeing that it was June 15, everyone was worried and suspicious, and they didn't know what the master of Huangbao had to do to lead his people to escape from Huangjiabao safely.

On this day, just after repelling an attack by the Hu people, Huang Tai ordered Huang Xian to lead a thousand Zhuang Ding to defend the city, and he must hold on until tomorrow evening before retreating. The rest of the clan were only allowed to carry soft treasures and silks, and all of them gathered in their back gardens.

Huang Tai asked people to remove a pile of dry wood in the northwest corner, revealing a secret passage entrance. The secret passage is so wide that even horses and vehicles can pass it.

It turned out that Huang Tai's house was in the northwest corner, close to the city wall, as early as many years ago, Huang Tai ordered someone to secretly dig a secret road to the outside of the fort, so that the Hu people could safely evacuate when they besieged the city, even if it was a transfer route, it had already been explored by his cronies. Except for Huang Tai's father and son, most of the other clansmen don't know about this secret way.

The people of Huangjiabao were all overjoyed when they saw that there was a secret way to escape safely, and they also admired the foresight of the lord of Huangjiabao.

Huang Tai ordered Zhuang Ding, who was able to fight, to break off, and instructed Huang Yuan: "After the clansmen evacuate, leave a few people to take care of the secret road, and then go back to assist the eldest brother in defending the city." Then let the cronies lead the way in front, and he and his wife took a car together, if Jing was pregnant, it was inconvenient to ride a horse, and his mother was in a car, followed behind, and Dianheng, Xiuniang, and Ruolan rode horses to follow and guard, and entered the secret road in turn. All the tribes followed each other.

On the west side of Huangjiabao, close to a big river, the bank is high and dense, the exit of the secret road is on the inner side of the river, and the bricks and stones sealed at the entrance of the cave have been removed by Zhuang Ding in advance, and they are hidden in the grass. The people of Huangjiabao went out of the secret road, went north along the inner side of the river, reached the bank of the Yellow River, and then along the south bank of the Yellow River, headed for Shuangshi Town.

The west side of Huangjiapu is close to the big river, the terrain is narrow, and it is the weakest area for the deployment of Hu people's troops.

The night was uneventful. In the early morning of the next day, Helian Longqiang led his troops out of the camp, an arrow away from the city, and set up his position, so that a letter was shot into the city, asking the commander of the city tower to negotiate peace.

Huang Yuan said to Huang Xian: "Big brother, Hu Bing has been attacking the city for many days, and suddenly proposed peace, I'm afraid there will be fraud!"

Huang Xian pondered for a long time and said: "Regardless of whether he is fraudulent or not, you answer him in the city tower, I will hide behind the flag and peep, if there is fraud, I will shoot an arrow, even if I can't kill him, it will also frustrate the prestige of the Hu people." ”

The plan was decided, and the two climbed the tower. Huang Xian hid behind the flag with a bow, and Huang Yuan said loudly to Helian Long: "General, please withdraw first, we will definitely offer a thousand taels of gold, plus a thousand heads of cattle and sheep." ”

Helian Long said strongly: "If Huangjiabao is sincere, you can send the golden cattle and sheep out first, and our side will definitely retreat." ”

Suddenly, not far from the city tower, the two corpses left by the Hu people attacking the city turned over, revealing a Hu man from below, and the strong bow was rounded, aiming at Huang Yuan and shooting.

Huang Yuan was frightened, hurriedly dodged, one arrow just passed, two arrows and three arrows roared, it was too close, Huang Yuan didn't have time to react again, sneered at two arrows, hit the chest, screamed and fell to the ground.

It turned out that Helian Longqiang saw that Huangjiabao could not be attacked for a long time, so he set up a plan: in advance, he took advantage of the night to secretly dig a tunnel to the vicinity of the city tower, and the entrance of the cave was hidden by a dead body, so that Helian Longshu lay in it with a bow, and then under the pretext of negotiating peace, he tricked Huang Xian into showing up, and shot him when Huang Xian showed up.
