Chapter 11: Chaos in the South

Cheng Ping was enraged again.

As soon as the big knife was crossed, Cheng Ping shouted loudly: "You have to look down on people, I, Cheng Ping, will make a bet with you, and then you will not be trustworthy!" “

"I, Xu Han, have always done what I said, so you can let the horse come."

Xu Han held the long knife in his arms and smiled faintly, with that relaxed look, he didn't take Cheng Ping in his eyes at all.

Such contempt stimulated Cheng Ping to be annoyed and ashamed, only to hear a loud shout, the tower-like body came out of the ground, and the big knife in his hand carried the power of the wind, slashing at Xu Han.

Cheng Ping jumped abruptly into the air, and with the momentum of falling, the bright blade slammed down.

The hearts of the subordinates on the left and right all raised their throats in an instant, and their hearts said that the other party had already attacked in front of them, why didn't their own General Xu make a move, and it would be too late if they didn't make a move.

In a moment, I saw Xu Han's sword eyebrows horizontal, and his towering figure moved like the wind.

He moved so fast that before anyone could see it, the long knife in his hand had already burst out of the wind.

Boom!

There was a sharp metallic clash, sparks splashed in all directions, and a long knife flew into the air.

And Cheng Ping's tower-like body flew upside down in front of everyone's eyes and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, the steel knife that flew out of his hand was stuck in front of him.

One move to break the enemy, Xu Han's arrogance is really not a wild speech.

Xu Han made a dashing gesture, thrust the long knife into the ground, and stood with his hands in his hands, his mouth still indifferent.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then, the crowd of onlookers erupted in thunderous cheers, and all the soldiers were amazed by Xu Han's powerful sword.

In addition, everyone's face also flashed with a kind of shock.

That was the fear of Xu Han's force.

Cheng Ping, who fell to the ground, got up from the ground with difficulty, and there was a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, obviously his internal organs had been injured.

His bloodshot eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he really couldn't even catch Xu Han's knife.

But he soon realizes that, while brutal, it is true.

Moreover, Xu Han's knife clearly leaves room for it, if people do their best, they are afraid that they will not have their lives to climb the mountain again at this moment.

Cheng Ping was very disappointed, and when he looked at Xu Han again, there was no anger in his eyes, only deep awe for Xu Han.

He was a man of great strength.

Xu Han is a strong man.

"Cheng Ping meets General Xu." Suddenly, he fell on one knee and bowed his hands.

This worship actually means that he is willing to gamble and lose, and is willing to submit to Xu Han's command.

A hint of pride flashed at the corner of Xu Han's mouth, leaned over to support Cheng Ping, and said with a faint smile: "Hurry up, come on, quickly help General Cheng to treat his injuries." ”

Everyone was still immersed in Fang Cai's thrilling knife, and it took a while to react.

Several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cheng Ping away.

"What are you doing around, don't clean up the mess yet."

Xu Han woke up his subordinates with a word, and more than a thousand people dispersed, busily cleaning up the battlefield.

"General Xu Bi's sword skills are really amazing, and he deserves to be the general of my country." Ling Zirui behind him praised him, looking at his expression was sincere, it didn't seem to be an intentional compliment.

Xu Han waved his hand, "I haven't played tricks with people for some days, and my knife skills are a lot rusty, which makes Mr. smile." ”

"The general is humble." Ling Zirui laughed dryly, and then suddenly changed his words, "I have something very strange, that Cheng Ping is just a nobody, why does General Xu have to go through such a difficult time to surrender to him?" ”

What Xu Han needs most at the moment is a loyal henchman like Cheng Ping, how can Ling Zirui see it.

"Although Cheng Ping is a small character, he is a member of the rebel army in the south, we have come all the way here to recruit them, so naturally we have to show them our mind and strength, otherwise how can we convince these rebel army."

Xu Han's words were not specifically designed to deal with Ling Zirui, which was one of the reasons why he accepted Cheng Ping.

He wants to establish himself as king, and a thousand soldiers are not enough, and this group of rebellious troops in the south is naturally the best target for him to expand his troops and horses.

It's just that he is now in charge of the overall situation, relying on the prestige of Emperor Li, in order to make these soldiers still loyal to him when he leaves the country in the future, Xu Han must establish his personal prestige as soon as possible.

These private thoughts, of course, Xu Han could not tell Ling Zirui the truth at this time.

"So that's the case, I didn't expect the general to be so thoughtful, so it seems that Ling is a little short-sighted." Ling Zirui laughed at himself.

Xu Han smiled and said nothing, and then said: "This toss has made me hungry, come on, why don't you bring the half leg of mutton that Ben Jiang didn't finish eating......"

As he spoke, Xu Han turned around and walked into the tent, nibbling on a roast leg of lamb while continuing to read his unfinished half of the book.

The soldiers in front of the tent were filling in the pit, and the subordinates outside the tent were busy cleaning up the mess, but Xu Han ignored it as if it were nothing.

Looking at Xu Han's idleness and open-mindedness, the strange color in Ling Zirui's eyes became more and more intense, and he muttered in his mouth: "This Xu Han is decisive and never drags his feet, but he has hidden strategies, and he has a bit of the demeanor of His Majesty when he was young......"

Realizing that his words were careless, Ling Zirui was busy and silent.

Three days later, Xu Han led his 1,000 light horsemen to Ancheng, the southern governor's office.

The south is located in the southernmost part of Bianzhou, to the west through the mountains can reach the city of Luoyang, along the Yingshui in its territory homeopathic south, then can reach the important town of Huancheng in Huainan, go up against the Rushui, can go deep into Sichuan County in a few days, and the soldiers point directly to the imperial city of Xuanguo Kaifeng.

Because it is mountainous in the south, after the founding of the Xuan State, the southern rebel army was broken, and many remnants of the rebel army fled into the mountains and fell into the grass.

Emperor Li of Yi sent troops south, the Central Plains shook, and the remnants of these rebellious armies took advantage of the fact that Xuan Guo had no time to look south, and took advantage of the situation to kill from the mountains, and under the banner of responding to Emperor Li, they secretly united with the rebel army and attacked everywhere.

Under such internal and external attacks, the officers and soldiers in the south were unable to resist, several counties opened the city and surrendered one after another, the county guards were killed, and the city of Ancheng, the administrative office, also fell into the hands of the rebels.

When Xu Han arrived in Ancheng, nearly tens of thousands of rebel troops had gathered inside and outside this administrative office, and the leaders of the southern rebel army, Zhang Baihai and Zhou Liang, were also among them.

To Xu Han's surprise, this group of rebels claimed to be tens of thousands, and their momentum was huge, but in fact, there were only six or seven thousand people who could fight, and the so-called tens of thousands of people actually included family members who could not go into battle, such as the old and the young.

Moreover, the six or seven thousand young and strong combat forces are also of uneven quality, most of them are not even armored, and they don't even have a decent weapon in their hands, and the weapons they use are just sharpened wooden clubs.

"With such a group of grass robbers, if you want to threaten Xuanguo Kaifeng, I don't think it's ......"

Riding a horse and slowly walking towards the east gate of Ancheng, along the way, looking at the messy and chaotic military camp on the side of the avenue, Ling Zirui kept shaking his head and saying cool words.

Xu Han smiled secretly in his heart.

The south was just a passerby to him, and he didn't plan to fight with Xuan Jun at all.

At present, although this gang of rebels is a rabble, if they can be trained by their strength, Xu Han believes that with his ability to command the army, he can definitely train an elite division.
