"It would be great if one day, we could have so many troops!" Luo Ren sighed with fascination.

"It's only 20,000 people. Shangguan Xiu looked at the county army in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised, and said quietly.

The strength of one corps of the Central Army is 100,000, and the corps of the Central Army is as many as 16, not counting the strength of the reserve army. Compared with the imperial court, what is the strength of these two counties?

Seeing the county army, Luo Ren and the others thought of the large number of county troops and the tendency to swallow mountains and rivers, but Shangguan Xiu thought of the central army, if one day his power in Zhenjun became bigger and attracted the conquest of the central army, how should he deal with it?

The county army advanced until Huya Pass was close before stopping, and then, the battalion formation in front of it was separated to the left and right, and dozens of horsemen marched out of the army, led by two generals with helmets and armor were Zhang Biao, the county lieutenant of Jinchuan County, and Fan Hong, the county lieutenant of Beiqiu County.

The two of them rode on their horses and walked over to Shangguanxiu and the others without hurrying. Shangguan Xiu tilted his head slightly, looked at Luo Ren beside him, and the latter immediately urged him to step forward, intervened in the salute, and said: "Subordinate Huya Guancheng Lieutenant Luo Ren, see the two adults!"

"Isn't the city captain of Huya Pass Wang Dao? When did you become you Luo Ren?" Zhang Biao raised his chin and glanced at Luo Ren domineeringly from the corner of his eye.

Luo Ren understood that the other party was deliberately pretending to be confused and pretending, and he replied: "Back to Lord Zhang, Lord Wang was harmed by the careful work of the fan, and his subordinates temporarily took over the position of Huya Guancheng Lieutenant. โ€

"Oh, I see!" Zhang Biao snorted out laughing, changed his words, and said, "This official asks you, where are the remnants of the rebel army who fled in the direction of your Huya Pass?"

"The remnants of the rebels have fled into Fandi!"

"What did you say?" Zhang Biao heard this, his eyebrows were erected, and his five-short figure went straight up on the horse, he raised his hand and pointed at Luo Ren angrily, and asked sharply: "But you deliberately let go of the rebel remnants?"

Without waiting for Luo Ren to answer, Shangguan Xiu urged him to step forward, came to Luo Ren's side, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, the reason why the rebels were able to pass through the Huya Pass is all on me, because I was accidentally captured by the rebels, and the rebels used me as a threat to force Lord Luo to open and let go. โ€

"You?" Zhang Biao turned his eyes to Shangguan Xiu, and looked at him from one glance to the next.

Shangguan Xiu was only eighteen years old, but two strands of silver hair hung down from his temples, making him look quite a little white-haired and childish.

After looking at him for a moment, Zhang Biao asked with a calm face, "Who are you?"

"In Xiahuyaguan Camp Captain, Shangguan Xiu. โ€

"Just a battalion lieutenant?!" Zhang Biao heard this, his nose was almost crooked, the rebels were just holding a battalion lieutenant hostage, and then forced Huya Pass to clear the customs and let him go, it was simply unreasonable!

He said angrily: "Do you know how many casualties my Jinchuan County Army has paid in order to capture the leader of the rebels? How many battalion captains have been lost? And you Huya Pass was only allowed to pass the customs because a battalion lieutenant was held hostage, who gave you such courage? Come on, take Luo Ren down for me!"

Hearing his words, a large group of officers and soldiers immediately poured out of the county army camp behind and surrounded Luo Ren's group.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes. His gaze was slightly biased and he looked at Fan Hong beside Zhang Biao.

Fan Hong's face was full of disapproval of Zhang Biao's words just now, listening to the meaning of Zhang Biao's words, it seemed that only his county army in Jinchuan County was attacking the rebels this time, and he didn't even mention the county army of Beiqiu County, which commanded two corps.

Shangguan Xiu has a keen mind and is also good at observing words and observing sรจ, at this time, he only looks at Fan Hong's face, and he has already judged the relationship between Zhang Biao and Fan Hong.

He raised his hand and grasped the hilt of his saber.

As soon as he moved, Zhan Xiong and others behind him moved in unison, and people invariably grabbed the saber under his ribs.

At the same time, the three thousand Huya troops behind took a step forward in unison, and the people turned the spears they carried in one hand into two hands clenched in an attacking posture.

Seeing this, Zhang Biao's face suddenly showed annoyance, he raised his hand, pointed forward, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shangguan Xiu laughed and stood side by side with Luo Ren, completely ignoring the county soldiers who surrounded him.

He looked at Zhang Biao with a torch in his eyes, and said slowly: "When my Huya Pass was attacked by the Fan Soldier Brigade, I didn't see Lord Zhang send troops to help, and when my Huya Pass soldiers forgot to die and fought back against the Fan clan in depth, I didn't hear a word of praise from Lord Zhang, and now we just let go of a few defeated and fleeing rebels, and Lord Zhang will take us down for questioning, don't you think it's too chilling to do this?"

"Bold!

When Fan Hong heard the shouting, he immediately raised his eyes to look behind the Huya Army, only to see a young woman running out of the city gate of Huya Pass, it was Fan Yuanling, who had been kidnapped by Fanren and rescued by Shangguan Xiu. Fan Hong had already received a letter from Shangguan Xiu, knowing that his sister had been rescued by him, and now she was safe and sound, temporarily living in the city governor's mansion in Huya Pass. He led the army to crusade against the rebels in Jinchuan County this time, firstly, on the orders of the county lieutenant, and secondly, to take his sister back to Beiqiu County.

Seeing his sister's figure, the expression on Fan Hong's face softened a lot. He arched his hand to Shangguan Xiu and said with a smile: "Thanks to the rescue of Lord Shangguan this time, the sister can escape safe and sound, Fan Mou is here to thank Lord Shangguan!"

"Lord Fan is polite! โ€

"Lord Shangguan, do you know who kidnapped the housemate?"

"It's the work of the fan. โ€

"It's all fan?"

"This ......" Shangguan Xiu was really unsure about this, the other party's clothes were very messy at that time, some were dressed as fans, and some were dressed as wind people. He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said truthfully, "I can't be sure. โ€

While the two of them were talking, Fan Yuanling had already walked quickly through the phalanx of the Huya Army and threw himself into the arms of Fan Hong, who had already dismounted. The latter is tall and has a helmet and armor, and looks unusually powerful, but in front of his sister, he behaves unusually gentlely.

He patted her shoulder lightly, and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, seeing that you're okay, the eldest brother's heart has finally been put down." โ€

When Fan Yuanling heard this, his eyes turned red and he hugged Fan Hong tighter.

She stayed in Fan Hong's arms for a while, and when she noticed the murderous county soldiers around her, she pouted and said to Fan Hong: "Big brother, Lord Shangguan took care of me during my stay in Huya Pass, you are not allowed to bully him!"

Unexpectedly, she would speak for herself at this time, Shangguan Xiu was quite surprised, in the past few days, he and Fan Yuanling have hardly had much contact, in his impression, she is a rude and willful eldest lady.

Fan Hong laughed when he heard this, turned his head to Zhang Biao and said: "Lord Zhang has heard it, but the sister of the house thinks of Lord Shangguan's life-saving grace, Lord Zhang looks at my face, big things turn into small things, and small things turn into small things!"

Zhang Biao dared not to give face to others, but he did not dare not to give face to Fan Hong. This time, Fan Hongke led two corps in Beiqiu County to aid Jinchuan County, and was the main force attacking the rebels, and most of the 20,000 county troops present were the troops of Beiqiu County, and there were not many people left in the county army of Jinchuan County.

He grinned and said, "What did Lord Fan say, since Lord Shangguan can save Sister Ling, it must be a loyal minister of my Gale and has nothing to do with the traitor!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the soldiers standing around Shangguan Xiu and Luo Ren, signaling them to retreat quickly.

After the county soldiers all returned to the main formation, Zhang Biao looked at Shangguan Xiupi and said with a smile: "This official really didn't expect that Lord Shangguan turned out to be Miss Fan is a life-saving benefactor!"

Zhang Biao's face changed like a flip book, and he was still blowing his beard and glaring at Shangguan Xiu just now, but now he is full of smiles.

Shangguan Xiu sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, he arched his hand to Fan Hong and Zhang Biao, and said, "The two adults have worked hard to chase and kill the rebels all the way, please go into the city and sit down!"

Zhang Biao's face was straight, he shook his head and said: "This official doesn't have time to be a guest at Huya Pass, he needs to go back to the county seat immediately to resume his life, in addition, the city lord and the city captain of Yicheng were both martyred, and there are still many affairs that need to be handled by this official." โ€

Fan Hong suddenly remembered something, and said, "Lord Zhang, since Yicheng is now ownerless, why don't you let Lord Shangguan temporarily serve as the city lord and city captain of Yicheng?"

"This ......" Zhang Biao frowned secretly and did not speak immediately.

Fan Hong smiled and said: "Although the rebels led by Dai Yu fled to the outside of the pass, there are still a lot of remnants of the rebels near Yicheng, if you send others to guard it, I am afraid that you will lose your head in three or five days, I think the Huya Pass soldiers are strong and strong, it is better to let Lord Shangguan lead a battalion of troops to defend Yicheng and stabilize the situation inside and outside Yicheng!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Biao felt that Fan Hong's words also made some sense.

Now the city lord and city captain of Yicheng are not a good errand, if they don't get it, their lives will be difficult to protect, let Shangguan Xiu go to Yicheng, if he dies, he deserves to be unlucky, if he doesn't die, he can also find a reason to exterminate the rebels in the future and punish him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao laughed and said, "Since it was Lord Fan who opened his mouth, how could I refuse, just do what Lord Fan wants!"

Shangguan Xiu was so clever, he was just stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed to Fan Hong and Zhang Biao, and said, "Thank you Lord Zhang and Master Fan for their promotion!"

Zhang Biao said with a smile: "Lord Shangguan, in the future, you will be the acting city lord and city captain of Yicheng, you must do your best to ensure the safety of the water and soil in Yicheng, if you deny it, this official will punish you according to the law!"
