Chapter 41: The Tiger

On the last day, Yang Zheng tried to find Ling Husheng's traces.

The side knock was mentioned in front of Xiahou Xuan, but Xiahou was the governor of the day, and obviously did not remember a messenger.

Tang Fang, Zheng Jun and other people he was familiar with had already returned to Luoyang with Cao Shuang.

In this huge Chang'an City, Yang Zheng suddenly felt his eyes darkened.

And Du Yu also returned to Chang'an after Ling Husheng left.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to let Zhou Yu go back to Luoyang and ask Tang Fang and Zheng Jun.

The arrangements were made, and he said goodbye to Du Yu, and the next day he rode west with more than 400 horses.

Longxi is connected to the northwest of Hexi, Guanzhong in the east, Hehuang in the west, and Hanzhong in the south.

The county governs Didao City, which is an important node leading to the Western Regions.

It is also an important place for soldiers.

There is the Qinling Mountains as a barrier in the pass, and the road is difficult.

At the western foot of the Qinling Mountains, Qishan and Longshan are not as steep as the Qinling Mountains, and they are relatively easy to walk.

That's why there is the battle of Zhuge Wuhou six out of Qishan.

Among them, the first threat was the greatest, Zhuge Wuhou took Zhao Yun as a suspicious soldier, and went out of the valley to feint and attack Yixian in order to attract the main force of the Wei army, and he led the main force out of Qishan, Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding The three counties looked at the wind and fell, and Longxi was crumbling.

Guanzhong was shocked, and Longxi was too guarded by You Chu and did not surrender.

Zhang He led 50,000 cavalry to rescue Longxi.

Zhuge Liang divided the horses to guard the street pavilion and delayed Zhang He's reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, Ma Tan carelessly lost the street pavilion, and Zhang He's reinforcements entered Longyou and copied the back road of the Shu army.

Zhuge had to give up the good situation and retreat to Hanzhong.

Since then, the Northern Expedition of the Shu Army has not had such a good situation.

The perennial war also brought a huge burden to the Longyou counties, the Han people withered, the land was barren, and Wei and Shu all moved to Qiang to fill the border land.

The farther you go west, the fewer villages and towns you see, and there are no people for hundreds of miles in a row, only barren grass.

Occasionally, I see a village, but it is a mixture of Chinese and Chinese.

The Di people farm and speak the same as the Han people, and even their names are Han surnames and Han names, only the style of clothes is slightly different.

The Han get along well and intermarry with each other without the slightest barrier.

Yang Zheng secretly thought that if there was no rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Di people would almost be integrated into the Han people.

Just like the Southern Xiongnu, most of its nobles were well-educated Confucian scholars.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a mercenary of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Dou Xian attacked the Xiongnu in the north, only took 1,000 fine horses out of the chicken and deer stop, and the Southern Xiongnu sent more than 40,000 cavalry to fight together, and broke the Northern Xiongnu in Jiluo Mountain, beheading 13,000 people under the king, more than 100,000 miscellaneous animals, and more than 200,000 people from the small kings of each department asked for surrender......

Cao Wei has always been very vigilant against the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, after the death of the Xianbei male lord Tanshi Huai, Kebi can rise, and there are more than 100,000 people who control the strings, and there is a tendency to unify the grassland, but Cao Wei interferes.

Tian Yu, the captain of the Karasuma school, the Yanmen Taishou led the move, and Liang Xi, the assassin of the state, defeated Kebineng many times.

Later, Youzhou assassinated Wang Xiong and sent the warrior Han Long to assassinate him, and Xianbei was once again in civil strife.

If the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family is a little human, these aliens have little chance.

The Central Plains has an overwhelming advantage over the grasslands.

The road was bumpy, and I arrived at Didao City just before the heavy snowfall.

After checking the documents, Yang Zheng took Zhang Te, Du Bin and others to meet Xiahouba.

Of course, the authentic city is not as good as Chang'an.

The people in the city were scarce, and most of them were military households.

The only decent buildings are all mansions, with a rough style, swords, axes and chisels, without too much carving, and they are not as elegant as Chang'an.

Yang Zheng was introduced into Xiahou Mansion by his subordinates, and when he came to a wooden pavilion, he only heard the sound of weapons in the pavilion, as if someone was fighting.

The servants reported for a while, but no one came out to greet them.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but play a little drum in his heart, could it be that this is the dismount?

Du pre said that Xiahou Ba has a bold personality, and he doesn't know whether it's true or not.

The cold wind blew down from the sky like a knife and poured into the wooden pavilion, and no amount of clothing could resist it.

Du Bin's legs swayed, and the others couldn't stand it.

But here and now, no matter how hard it is, you can only endure it silently.

The blind date also tells a first impression, and it is natural to meet the top boss.

Suddenly there was a rapid clash of gold and iron in the pavilion, followed by the sound of people falling on the wooden plank.

"Waste, for such a long time, there is no growth at all, ten military sticks per person!"

There was a roar of a man in the pavilion, as if there was a tiger hidden inside.

The door of the pavilion opened, and four or five sturdy men in short shirts came out with blue noses and swollen faces.

"Enter!"

Before I had time to think about it, there was another voice inside.

Yang Zheng didn't dare to delay and stepped through the door.

The pavilion is dimly lit.

His eyes were still adjusting, but he suddenly heard the terrible sound of breaking wind in his left ear.

Yang Zheng was shocked in his heart, if he was hit this time, wouldn't his brains be beaten out?

It doesn't matter what the other party means, hurry up and roll on a donkey.

"Peng", sawdust flying.

A hole was smashed out of the wooden floor, Yang Zheng got up, and a burly and sturdy person in front of him met him, holding an iron rod, staring at him.

"Captain ...... of the Armed Guard Battalion"

"Hugh has to say more!"

Throwing an object in front of him, Yang Zheng caught it, and it was also an iron rod, which was quite heavy.

The man let out a "hey" and smashed the stick on his head.

Yang Zheng raised a stick to parry.

A cloud of sparks erupted in the dimness.

A huge force came from the tiger's mouth, his arms were numb, and he retreated seven or eight steps in a row, almost unable to hold the iron rod.

Yang Zheng was depressed and annoyed.

The more the martial artist concedes, the more the other party looks down on him.

The northwest is not as good as Chang'an, there is no real ability, and it will not be valued by Xiahou Ba in the future.

Thinking of this, I will no longer be polite.

Holding the iron rod with both hands, he held his breath and stared at the person in front of him.

The man's eyes flashed with approval, and he pointed at Yang Zheng with one hand and waved provocatively.

Yang Zheng brandished an iron rod and rushed up.

I have never slackened off these days, and my physical strength, arm strength, and martial arts have all improved.

Moreover, this kind of iron rod fight does not require many moves, and it can sink vigorously.

Yang Zheng swung out a stick, and the wind screamed.

There was another explosion, sparks splashed everywhere, Yang Zheng took three steps back, and the other party also took a step back.

"Good!" The man laughed, "Come again!" ”

The two of them smashed in the wooden pavilion, and sawdust flew wildly.

It was the first time for Yang Zheng to face the enemy with an iron rod, so he naturally fell behind, but when he came out of the stick, he was barely able to resist the opponent with a fierce fist.

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party is more relaxed the later he comes, which makes Yang Zheng support him for so long.

Dozens of rounds later, the opponent slammed into Yang Zheng with one blow and smashed Yang Zheng away.

Yang Zheng endured the soreness in his arm and stood up again.

"Good boxing." The other party threw the iron rod on the ground, and immediately trotted out a few subordinates in the back hall and lit the lights.

In fact, this kind of competition is not fair, Yang Zheng has worked hard all the way, and he uses inappropriate weapons, and he is still in the opponent's home field.

If you use a knife, maybe it will be better.

Of course, the other party didn't do their best.

"Yang Zheng meets General Right!" Yang Zheng half-knelt on the ground, panting.

The other party can have this kind of momentum, of course, it is not an ordinary person.

"You are Yang Zheng?" At this time, Xiahou Ba was already in the prime of life, with a majestic appearance, a broad forehead and short hair, and his temples were stained with two wisps of wind and frost from the northwest.

"Subordinates exactly."

"Yes, Taichu finally sent a useful person." Xiahou Bahu's eyes opened slightly, "I heard that you are the son of Yang You!" ”

Yang Zheng was taken aback, "Does the general know his father?" ”

Xiahou Ba's face showed a look of remembrance, "Your father was ...... back then"

Yang Zheng listened attentively, but unexpectedly, a person hurriedly broke into the hall, "Report to the general, hungry He Yao Ge gathered more than 100 people to make trouble in the city." ”
