We rested in Gaoyuan for four or five days, and decided to stay with Cheng Yin to guard the city, but he did not agree; So he left the original Yuru city guard Ge Hui to guard the city, and still let Xu Ding return to the army to manage Guangyuan County. During this period, I received another battle report, the second brother and the military Hou Zhang Zhiyuan and Li Junxuan attacked from Guangyuan County in the other direction to the north and broke through the Tangchi Pass, which also belongs to the North County, and another rebel army attacked the North County!

In the east-west direction of Gaoyuan and Yuikeguan, there are only two castles, Kiyono and Chifeng, which are important supply places for the border army. Both cities were built on high hills, and there was no access to the other cities except this line, so they had to be heavily defended. If you want to connect with them, you have to fight two fierce battles. "This time, let's go our separate ways." I sighed.

"My lord, no." Huang Fujing said. "Qingye and Chifeng are the grain routes of the Iron Army, and if they are captured, their grain routes can be cut off, and as long as they are delayed, they can surrender without a fight."

Chu Rui also said: "My lord, the iron army in the north is cunning, maybe there are other small roads in Qingye and Chifeng, and the grain road has not been cut off because we occupy the big cities at both ends. It doesn't matter if the grain road is not broken, if the iron army smuggles over to give us a two-sided attack, we can't be defeated. ”

Chen Bao also agreed with Chu Rui's statement. "Fourth General, I think Vice General Chu is right, there is nothing wrong with doing things safely and leaving no hidden dangers."

While there was a heated discussion, Cheng Yin walked in from the outside with a smile on his face. "My lord, the last general has informed the guards of the cities that the four big cities of Qingye, Chifeng, Yangling, and Jinchengguan have undergone a military mutiny, and they are willing to take refuge in us, and Cangshan and Yubei are also waiting!"

The headache was unexpectedly solved, and a wave of ecstasy rushed into my mind. "Great! Summoning the guards of the four places, sending Di Qing and Zheng Xiao to guard Qingye and Chi Feng, Zhang Gongba to guard Jincheng Pass, and Cao Shixiong to guard Yangling! ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the people immediately set up troops to march north into Gangling, and make a beautiful battle for Cangshan and Yubei to see!"

"Order!"

At the foot of Degangling City, the four original generals Shi Bo, Ma Jun, Huo Gang, and Liu Yuan have also arrived. The three armies set up a phalanx, and the city shouted and cursed. The city gate was wide open, and a veteran ran out of a single horse under the white dragon, with a pale face and white hair, a white beard left over his waist, and a tiger's eye steel knife in his hand.

Not a single person stepped forward. The old general raised his sword, and behind him rose in unison, more than 10,000 iron soldiers from the northern border wearing white armor.

The old general shouted in front of the battle: "Yan Gang, the general of Canglong in the north, is here, and the traitor Hugh will be rampant!! ”

The voice echoed in the mountains and forests behind us, still loud.

I pondered for a moment, but I couldn't fight hard, so I stepped forward and said: "Old general, we all rose up for Kuang Zhengtian, and there is no intention of offending, why not do it?" ”

"The little thief is talking nonsense, look at the knife!" Yan Gang picked up the tiger's eye steel knife, urged the white dragon under his crotch, and galloped towards me, the movement was so fast that I was even stunned for a moment. I reacted, hurriedly urged my horse back to the battle, and shouted: "Who wants to take the lead!" ”

"The young general is willing to go!" Qingye Castle General Shi Bo agreed, picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife, urged the war horse, and rushed out. Both of them are generals in the north, I thought there would be a fierce battle, but the moment the two horses intersected, Yan Gang let out a loud shout, his hand rose and fell, and he cleanly cut off half of Shi Bo's helmet, and he didn't even have time to burst out with a dying scream.

"Poof." Bow's body was planted in the snow and made a final sound.

"Qingye and Chi Feng are dependent on each other, and killing Qingye's guards is the enemy of my Chi Feng! Old thief, Ma Jun is here! Ma Jun slapped the horse and danced a mixed iron rod and flew out, and Liu Yuan and Huo Gang each held an iron gun in the oblique stab. The three of them only expected to surround and fight, and they didn't want Yan Gang to be fast, so they whipped the horse, ran to the far right of the team, held the knife with one hand to hold Liu Yuan's gun, drew the sword with his right hand and stabbed Liu Yuan's waist, couldn't stand on the horse, fell off the horse, struggled for a while, and didn't move. Yan Gang didn't look at whether Liu Yuan was dead or not, nor did he draw his sword, nor did he stop the horse, but urged the horse forward, and Huo Gang and Ma Jun took a detour for a moment, and suddenly turned the horse's head, slapped the horse and slashed the knife to take Ma Jun.

When Ma Jun reacted, Yan Gang was already in front of him, the white dragon under his crotch jumped high, and the big knife had already been raised above his head.

Ma Jun hurriedly parried.

Unexpectedly, Yan Gang's movements should have been a full blow in everyone's opinion, but he relied on his physical fitness against the sky to slash three times in a row!

The first knife was barely held; The second knife, the iron rod flew out; The third knife landed on the head. The tall body spurted blood from the horse, and in a moment the plasma clotted into ice. Huo Gang was timid and wanted to retreat. Yan Gang didn't chase either, hung up the knife, shot an arrow at the back of the bow, hit the back of the heart, and also fell off the horse and died. Yan Gang dismounted in a hurry, pulled out his sword from Liu Yuan, and turned over on the horse, still holding a big knife in one hand and his white beard in the other.

"Who else dares to go up?"

Chu Rui didn't know when he came to me. "The young general is willing to go."

"Please, be careful."

Chu Rui didn't ride a horse, walked to the front of the formation, pulled out his two-handed knife, and roared. Yan Gang had a long beard and didn't rush over immediately, but sighed: "This kid is more like a general than the first four." Go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand up to my knife. ”

Chu Rui also saluted: "Old general, the young general came to challenge the old general on the order of the main general Sima Zhonghuan, and he didn't win or lose, so he didn't dare to retreat in disgrace." ”

A smile appeared on Yan Gang's cold and weather-beaten face. "Good. Anyway, the old man will fulfill you! He whipped his horse, slashed his knife with both hands, and flew out of battle for the third time. Chu Rui held the knife in both hands and took three steps slowly. Yan Gang rushed over and slashed down, Chu Rui looked at the knife on his head, and Yan Gang's knife couldn't move for half a minute. Yan Gang didn't wrestle with him either, let go of his hand and took a few steps back, and rushed over again. "Good boy, look at this trick!" The two went back and forth for more than 80 rounds, and they were all exhausted. The three armies continued to cheer. The two of them fought to a good place, and suddenly Yan Gang lost the white dragon under his crotch and threw Yan Gang off the horse. Yan Gang sat up with difficulty and sighed: "Kill the old man, the old man is sorry for the first emperor!" ”

Chu Rui threw away his knife and bowed to the ground, did not move the knife, and did not return to the battle.

Yan Gang was confused by him. "You're ......"

"The old general's loss before the war horse is not the fault of the old general. The four generals of my family were brutalized by the king of the county, and they had no choice but to raise troops for revenge, and all the killings were corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

"So, is it really Sima Zhonghuan who killed the county king?"

"It's true."

This Chu Rui really understands my thoughts, and follows Yan Gang's thoughts every sentence. I've figured out how to subdue him.

Yan Gang sighed, turned south, and immediately knocked down.

"Old general, stop!"

"Young man, you are not very old, but you have done things with a courage that even I have never had. Just rush this, the old man is convinced. After saying that, I hurriedly shouted to the three armies: "Scatter on both sides and give way to a passage!" ”

Yan Gang looked surprised: "Why is this?" ”

I smiled and said, "Sima Zhonghuan is just a fugitive outlaw, and he is a junior; The world is a place where all living beings live, and when the world is safe, all people are safe. Don't worship me, the old general, but the world. ”

As I expected, Yan Gang was so moved that he bowed down in tears, and shouted: "First Emperor!" This country is saved! ”

I looked at him with a smile. It is true that I want to correct this world, but after Kuang Zheng, this world may not necessarily be surnamed Wei......

After worshipping, Yan Gang saluted me again. "The old man killed your four generals, the crime is unforgivable!"

I laughed, those four didn't matter anyway. "The four of them are all generals, and their martial arts are not as good as the old generals, and they have not seen their sincerity."

"General Meng Xiao will not give up, and he is willing to take the whip and fall into the stirrups and go to the soup and fire!"

The old general was serious. I don't know the old general Gui Geng? ”

"The old man is sixty and two this year, and he is born in five years in the town."

"The order went down, and those who disrespected the old general by the three armies were confined for three days. Remember Chu Rui's head work. "I am sincerely grateful to Chu Rui for his emotional intelligence, and I am also glad for myself.

"Yes!"

Yan Gang was in tears, and he wanted to bow down, but I hurriedly held on. "The old general doesn't have to be polite to the juniors, your physical strength should be reserved for killing thieves! Three armies, enter the city! ”
