It is said that this Han captured the tiger, wearing a dragon silver helmet, wearing a pair of fish scale silver armor, covered with a big red robe, sitting on a thousand-mile horse, nearly seventy years old, with pale hair, five locks of long hair, majestic, holding a big knife, placing all the generals, came to the pass.

Seeing the Sui army hunting with banners, it was murderous, and the formation was strict and solid.

The soldiers on the pass did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the guards in the Chinese army and reported to Sima Chao that he knew.

When Sima Chao heard the news, he sneered: "This old horseman, he deserves to die, wait for me to go out and kill him, and take advantage of the situation to kill Daxing City." ”

As he spoke, he ordered his troops and horses and went out of the city to fight.

Not more than a moment.

The Qilin Pass closes and the door opens.

Sima Chao led the iron cavalry to rush out.

He put on his helmet and armor, took the lead, and came out to bow and salute: "Old marshal, the young general is in armor, and he can't pay a full salute, so he will arch immediately." ”

Han Baohu stared at Sima Chao, laughed angrily, and said, "Okay, good!" The old man promoted you to be the general soldier of the pass, but you came to fight against the imperial court! Now, the marshal was ordered to conquer the south, with 500,000 soldiers, and the Marquis of Dingbei was also among them, and the rear team had Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu to arrive soon...... If you know what is wrong, you should report it to Wu Yunzhao immediately and let him do it early. Otherwise, if you break Nanyang, the jade will be burned, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

Originally.

Han Baohu was bent on letting Wu Yunzhao escape.

However, there were many people in front of the two armies, and he was not easy to say clearly, so he secretly tried to save it.

How could Sima Chao be a reckless man, where could he hear this?

A few days ago, he won two battles, and now he is bullying Han and capturing the tiger in old age, so he shouted: "Don't say more, just look at the knife!" Before the words fell, he stabbed his head and slashed at Han Baohu.

Seeing this, Han Baohu couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "This dog head is so rude!"

I was talking in between.

The big knife in his palm flew over, holding Sima Chao's rolling blade, and let out a loud sound.

Sima Chao saw that Han Baohu's martial arts were strong, and his eyes burst with light, and he said: "Old horseman, you really have some skills!"

But.

What he didn't know was.

Isn't this Han Baohu just a little capable?

He fought a tiger at the age of twelve, went out at the age of thirteen, broke hundreds of thousands of soldiers, fought in the south and the north, I don't know how many heroes, and had no opponent, and then returned to the Sui Dynasty and was named the prince of the country, no less than the king of the mountain Yang Lin.

Now.

This Sima Chao and Han Baohu fought for seven or eight rounds, and the horse had fourteen or fifteen faces, and was suddenly raised by Han Baohu, and looked at the top door with a knife and cut down.

Sima Chao was terrified, and hurriedly lowered his head, and Han Baohu's big knife swept over Sima Chao's helmet and shaved off his helmet.

"That's amazing!"

Sima Chao gasped, didn't dare to fight anymore, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and went straight back to the Qilin Pass, closing the city gate and not leaving.

Han Baohu looked at the cloudy Xiongguan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently took the war horse and ordered the troops to return to the camp.

Back inside the Chinese army.

Han Baohu just sat down.

The pioneer officer Ma Shumou came with Wang Shiji and asked, "Since the boss defeated the thief today, why didn't he take advantage of the situation to seize the pass?"

Han Baohu secretly scolded the two of them for being troublesome, but said in his mouth: "The Qilin Pass City is high and deep, there are many soldiers and horses, and there is a husband who is the pass, and there is a tendency for ten thousand people to open, so it is impossible to fight...... Nowadays, it can only be attacked slowly, and it cannot be taken lightly. ”

When Uncle Ma heard this, he said half-threateningly and half-admonishingly: "Marshal, this campaign is the order of the Son of Heaven himself, if we delay the fighter and be known by the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that it will happen in the future!" Such joints, please also ask the marshal to think about them! ”

"Hahahaha! General Ma, don't you hear the old saying: When the general is outside, the king's order is not affected? I am on the front line, dealing with the ever-changing war situation, if I often invite the Son of Heaven, then it is a delay in the fighter? If someone splits the army without authorization and instigates rumors, isn't it bullying the old man and the sword in his hand is not good? ”

Before he could finish speaking.

His left hand was already on the Shang Fang sword given by Yang Guang at his waist.

See this.

Uncle Ma consciously lost his words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The last general, Meng Lang, please ask the boss to forgive me!"

Han Baohu waved his hand and said, "That's it, you are also loyal to the country, let's go down first!" This conquest of Nanyang, Ben Shuai has his own decision! ”

Ma Shumou and Wang Shiji glanced at each other, and could only bow and retreat.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving.

Han Baohu sneered, and said in his mouth: "Rats!"

After another moment.

Seeing that the time is midnight, the third watch.

Han Baohu closed the book of soldiers and was about to fall asleep in his wide clothes, when the soldiers outside the tent suddenly came in and reported: "Marshal, the Marquis of Dingbei wants to see you!"

"Wang Yanzhong?"

Han Baohu was slightly stunned.

This Wang Ke met him in Jiankang City, and later had some intersections when he competed in front of the emperor.

The most recent one was at the funeral of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian.

Although Wang Ke was born in Yang Su's shogunate, this person is quite scheming, stationed in the north all the year round, and ignores the affairs of the court...... What's more, the last time the rebellion of King Han was quelled, I also had some favors with him, and now that I am here late at night, there must be something important to talk about, and invite him in! ”

Han Baohu frowned slightly, and then weighed it in his mind for a moment, and then ordered his own soldiers to invite Wang Ke to his Chinese army tent.

Not much.

Dressed in a brocade robe, Wang Ke, who was not wearing a military uniform, came to the tent.

He bowed his hand to Han Baohu: "The last general will meet the marshal!" The last time I saw the marshal so majestic, it was in Jiankang City! ”

Han Baohu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Hahahaha!" Thank you Hou Ye for your praise, the old man is old, he can't compare to Hou Ye's heroism, the last time he sent troops to fight the chaos, I have to thank Hou Ye for his help! ”

While speaking, Han Baohu also got up and bowed his hand in return.

Afterwards.

The two of them exchanged a few more polite words.

Wang Ke took out the fine wine brought from the north, poured a full glass for Han Baohu, and said in his mouth: "This kind of wine is a specialty of my Youzhou, called through the bottle of incense, the marshal can taste it!"

Han Baohu has been fighting since he was a child, and he is a good drinker.

When he saw Wang Ke pouring the wine, he had already smelled the aroma of the wine.

At this time.

When he heard what Wang Ke said, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and praised it in his mouth: "Not bad!" Not bad! This wine is powerful! ”

Since then.

The two drank for a while.

Han Baohu opened his mouth and asked: "Coming here so late at night, does Master Hou have something to tell you?"

Wang Ke sighed and said, "This matter is a little difficult to handle, and the marshal asks for forgiveness."

Han Baohu laughed and said, "Master Hou, don't want to be such a high-minded old man!" If the Hou Ye also finds it difficult, the old man may not be able to do it immediately...... All you can say is do your best! ”

Wang Ke said: "Eh! In fact, it is not a big deal, it is exactly the matter of this expedition to Nanyang. ”

When Han Baohu heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Have a difficulty?" Hou Ye might as well speak bluntly. ”

Wang Ke said: "In fact, if it weren't for His Majesty's personal name, the last general would really not want to come here...... Then Wu Yunzhao and I have a comradeship, how can I meet him with a sword? ”

Hear here.

Han Baohu felt a burst of joy in his heart.

He didn't show an abnormal expression on his face, and said in his mouth: "In this expedition, if Wu Yunzhao abandons the city and escapes, it will be enough for Lin Quan...... When the old man meets the loyal and filial king, it can also fulfill the feelings of his friends and descendants...... However, if this Wu Yunzhao is to defend the city, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to do! ”
