Imperial Capital Chapter 51 The second generation of Xungui has made meritorious service
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Liu Xin wiped the blood stains off his body with his robe, and sat on a stone, the stone was still slightly hot buttocks, but the physical exertion was too great, and Liu Xin couldn't care about it.
There was a shade overhead, and one of the four officers and soldiers was skillful and made a straw hat out of the nearby weeds. Later, Gou Liangyu stared at him covered in blood, so he made two more tops. Leng Peijun's body was not much better, it was full of bloodstains, so the officers and soldiers had a hard eyelid, so they didn't need Leng Peijun to say it, so they made a top for the latter.
The other three officers and soldiers were not so lucky, they escaped all the way, and their strength was not enough, but they still had to clean up the battlefield for the three life-saving benefactors.
Just half an hour ago, Liu Xin's three cavalry fought against more than ten cavalry, one charge, the opponent lost three horses, and the second charge, the opponent lost five horses. Liu Xin angrily beheaded the two, and Gou Liangyu broke out and actually beheaded the two. The third time was not a charge, the Liangshan Heavenly Prison Star fled in a hurry with the remnants, but was easily caught up by the treasure horse under Liu Xin's seat.
Little brother, what kind of breed are you, uncle is a treasure horse, you run, do you run away?
At that time, Liu Xin felt that the treasure horse under the seat should think so, because this treasure horse took him to easily surpass the Liangshan Heavenly Prison Star, and then continued to run forward, and finally turned a corner in front of him and circled back, so that the Liangshan Heavenly Prison Star faced Liu Xin's impact, and he didn't even have time to say the last words of begging for mercy.
As for why he kept calling that Liangshan Heavenly Prison Star, because Liu Xin didn't remember the other party's name.
This guy has a local accent when he speaks, and when he roars, he broke the sound, and he can't hear the name he reported at all, but the Heavenly Prison Star is very easy to remember, and everyone who has read the Water Margin knows it.
From Leng Peijun, I learned that this Liangshan Heavenly Prison Star seems to be one of the leaders of the Liangshan bandits, who is a fugitive from the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm and is good at raising horses.
No wonder the cavalry brought by this guy still has some taste, which is slightly different from the rabble outside.
After the battle, Liu Xin asked Gou Liangyu to find the four officers and soldiers, and after inquiry, he learned that the military horses on the Hanzhong side launched an attack on the mountain where the mountain bandits gathered early this morning.
A thousand officers and troops thought that they were sure of victory, but they were attacked by mountain bandits and cavalry, besieged on all sides, and the officers and troops were defeated. After the four of them escaped, they were chased by Liangshan Tianjiao Xing, and they were all cats and mice all the way.
But it was also because of this that the four of them were given a glimmer of life and met Liu Xin.
Liu Xin sighed, looked at the three officers and soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and said to Leng Peijun, who had won the lottery on the side: "I don't know who the leader of the official army is, he is too impatient, he is too light on the enemy, and his luck is not good. ”
The fourth is a thousand households, and the strength is a proper Dacheng realm. It's nothing in the imperial capital, on the rivers and lakes, wow, meet the big guy!
Leng Peijun chewed on the grass roots, with a look of lovelessness, he was the least number of enemies among the three, only three kills, but he was the only one who hung the color, he was slashed in the thigh by a mountain bandit's short knife, it was simply a skin injury, and there was no major problem after the bleeding stopped.
Now that half a day has passed since the morning battle, and they have already returned to their respective homes, Liu Xin is not in a hurry, and he will rush to Hanzhong after cleaning up the battlefield.
They now have enough horses, they can change cars on the road, and they can quickly whip their horses, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Hanzhong at night.
Seeing that the battlefield is almost cleaned up, in fact, it is some weapons, armor and the like are packed up. This group of mountain bandits wears a variety of clothes, basically leather armor, and the armor is all scattered parts, but it can also have two and a half sets together. The key is weapons, these weapons cannot be left outside, and it is troublesome for them to be picked up by the people. As for the corpse, it was naturally kept to feed the wolves.
patted his robe, Liu Xin stood up, stretched his body, and said, "Let's go, hurry up, and strive to get to Hanzhong today." ”
On the way, he made a move and saved people, so he couldn't keep a low profile, so he simply entered the city generously, and then secretly went to the military horse farm and did the key task.
The defeat of Hanzhong's army should have attracted the attention of some people, which was one of the reasons why he was in a hurry to rush over.
The identities of the four officers and soldiers were not revealed, and they did not dare to ask, they had just experienced life and death, so how could they care about this.
-----------------
Three quarters later, on an unknown mountain
This originally unknown mountain now has a name, Raptor's Mountain!
The name was given by Qiu Shaoyan, the leader of the mountain bandits, a burly man who liked to go topless and show his protective hair.
At this time, there was a roar of laughter and laughter everywhere in Raptor's Mountain, for no other reason, this morning, when the sky was dark, the officers and soldiers launched an attack on them.
The leaders of the little mountain bandits were all as frightened as quails, and even one of them was scared to death on the spot. In fact, this can also be understood, a large part of the leaders of this group of mountain bandits are brave and ruthless street in various places, and they can't live a hard life.
How many real green forest heroes can there be?
Later, under the leadership of Qiu Shaoyan and Wen Renshu, more than 300 horsemen first charged down the mountain, and the ranks of the officers and soldiers were scattered at once. Part of the reason for this success was that the cavalry took advantage of the situation from the top down. Another part of the reason is that the officers and soldiers did not expect that there would be cavalry in a group of mountain bandits.
Although most of this group of cavalry rode mules and donkeys.
After being swept away, the officers and soldiers were no longer so terrifying, and more than 3,000 mountain bandits, large and small, on the mountain rushed down the mountain with a roar, and the officers and soldiers saw that the situation was not good, so they retreated directly.
It creates the illusion that the mountain bandits are invincible.
In fact, although the official army had losses, it was not large, except for the loss of dozens of people under the first wave of cavalry, and later the loss of more than a dozen people was successfully withdrawn.
The officers and generals were mainly worried about forcibly fighting and the losses of the officers and troops would be too great.
This kind of thing of conquest of mountain bandits, it is your duty to win the battle, lose the head if you lose, win the battle but the loss is big, then congratulations, your life is saved, and the official is lost.
Therefore, this decision is the best solution for the officers and generals.
When Shan Si, Zheng Xiao and the seven noble second generations rushed back with more than 20 henchmen and guards, the mountain bandits were already celebrating.
Shan Si asked a few mountain bandits, and he knew the ins and outs of the matter. He automatically ignored the boasting of the mountain bandits, and when the officers and soldiers saw them, their faces turned pale with fright, their legs trembled, and they fled for their lives like crazy.
However, after some understanding, Shan Si also found the real reason for the defeat of the official army.
"The temporary leader of the mountain bandits is called Qiu Shaoyan, and he also has a brother named Wen Renshu." Shan Si sat in a cave and explained to the other nobles why the official army was defeated in this battle.
Well, this cave is their stronghold.
On the mountain, the big bandit forces live on the top of the mountain, and there are wooden houses to live in. Ordinary mountain bandit forces are on the mountainside, looking for caves to live in. Some small mountain bandit forces, usually well-known, such as the three young people of Donghe, the Shama family, etc., but they are only qualified to find a clean turf, or simply sleep in a tree and return to the pre-evolution overnight.
"What does these two have to do with the rout of the official army?" Zheng Xiao asked, he didn't know what these two names represented.
Shan Si pointed to the northeast and said in a deep voice: "These two people are the leaders of the cave Liangshan Shuibo. Heavenly Retreat Star Qiu Shaoyan, and Heavenly Prison Star Wenren Rate, they are all members of the Thirty-six Tiangang Stars discharged from the Liangshan Gathering Hall, and they are also among the top in Liangshan, and they have their own means and magical powers. For example, this Qiu Shaoyan is a god and is very brave. Wen Renshui was originally a fugitive from the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm and was good at raising horses. The cavalry that stormed the position of the official army was probably from his handwriting. Having lost the opportunity, the officers and troops chose to retreat in order to reduce their losses. ”
Zheng Xiao knew that Shan Si was born in the rivers and lakes, and he was quite familiar with these characters in the rivers and lakes, and in the end, he also analyzed the choices made by the officials and soldiers reasonably, and if it were him, he would also judge it this way.
"In other words, not only have we entered the den of thieves, but we don't need to count on the external forces that should be combined with the outside for the time being!" Zheng Xiao sighed.
Shan Si also straightened his waist, looking at the increasingly dazzling sunlight outside the cave, feeling helpless.
Shan Si because of his heroic and strong birth, and Qiu Shaoyan can be said to be familiar at first sight, on the entire mountain, there are not many people who can resist Qiu Shaoyan's courtesy greetings, and only Shan Si can return the same etiquette.
Therefore, a carnival began on the mountain, and Qiu Shaoyan also found someone to look for Shan Si together.
Shan Si and Zheng Xiao glanced at each other and decided to go together.
At this time, in the open space formed by the felling of a large area of forests on Raptor's Mountain, more than a dozen people have gathered, a group of strangely dressed mountain bandits holding earthen bowls, drinking turbid wine, some gnawing on freshly roasted bamboo rats, some holding corn cobs, and some gnawing on the head of the nest.
Zheng Xiao, who saw this scene for the first time, was full of confusion and confusion in his eyes.
Qiu Shaoyan's people led the way in front, and Zheng Xiao asked Shan Sidao softly: "How can the people here be like homeless people?" ”
Shan Si glanced at it and said as a matter of course: "They are homeless people!" ”
Zheng Xiao was speechless for a while, the mountain bandit gathering in his imagination should be a group of strong men with five big and three thick, full of hair, gathered together to eat meat and drink a lot of wine, and then the meat jokes that can be heard everywhere, gossip and obscenity, or after getting drunk, a few strong men splashed with wine gall, and then the leader burst into a shout, staring at the silver bell-like eyes, with wine on his beard, with a wave of his hand, someone took a machete to cut the troublesome guy, and then he could get a lot of applause...
Well, Zheng Xiao knew that he might have listened to too many books or watched too many romances, and now this scene, like the people in the disaster area, really can't be associated with the image of the mountain bandits who just defeated the official army.
However, at this time, he could also understand why Shan Si thought that he and other twenty or thirty people would be able to defeat this gang of mountain bandits when the official army attacked.
Because these mountain bandits are... It's so downset.
Just when Zheng Xiao lost his mind, a roar of green forest as he imagined came.
"Brother Shan, you are finally here, I can't find you early in the morning, but you didn't see my brother and I were so powerful that I killed those official dogs and fled, wahahaha!"
Zheng Xiao followed the sound and saw a burly man with a naked body, knotted muscles, and a heart guard hair on his chest that grew all the way to his neck and climbed to his face, sitting on a tiger skin chair and holding a wine jar in his hand. The beard was full of liquid, and the whole person looked dirty, but it had a terrible smell.
This is in line with the image of the leader of the mountain bandits in Zheng Xiao's mind.
The next moment, I saw Shan Si also laughing and walking forward, picking up a leader who was blocking the road and throwing it aside, the leader just glanced at Shan Si in fear, and then retreated to the other side, while the others laughed loudly and applauded Shan Si absently.
"Boss Qiu, didn't I go to the bottom of the mountain to find my brother, but unfortunately I missed Boss Qiu's heroic killing of the enemy, and my brother punished himself with three cups!"
Zheng Xiao looked at Shan Si and punished himself with three cups, then picked up the wine jar and poured it down, and dried three jars in a row.
Zheng Xiao's scalp was numb when he watched this scene, he is also a good drinker, but he won't drink like this, and you have a good amount of alcohol, a glass is actually a jar, but don't leak so much, drink a jar and leak an altar, what kind of drinking method is this, don't you think it's a waste?
Of course, Zheng Xiao's thoughts are just his thoughts, Shan Si is so bold, only the compliments and applause of the people around him are attributed.
Qiu Shaoyan glanced at Zheng Xiao, seeing that he was burly, and his cloth clothes that had been changed in advance were tightly propped up, so he believed Shan Si's words, and with a look, his subordinates invited Zheng Xiao to another place to drink and eat steamed buns. He, who has just arrived, has not yet shown his ability, so naturally he is not valued by Qiu Shaoyan.
After sitting down, Zheng Xiao's hanging heart finally let go, and he subconsciously took the steamed bun handed over from nowhere, and there was a black handprint on it, which was extremely clear.
Knowing that he couldn't arouse the suspicion of others, he bit it without saying a word.
Before coming, Shan Si had already talked to him about the situation on the mountain, Qiu Shaoyan was the leader of all the mountain bandits at the moment, and he was a man of martial arts who was brave on the mountain, but he was simple-minded and did not need to worry. The most important thing to pay attention to is actually the rate of hearing people, the latter is a rather shrewd, and Shan Si can join because of a mouthful of words in the rivers and lakes, and he is also a real person in the rivers and lakes. But even so, the rate of hearing people has been several times, and the temptation in the open and in the dark, if it weren't for the fact that the four books alone were born in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the flaws would have been exposed.
Shan Si can not be exposed, and his generals are also from the rivers and lakes, and they will not be exposed. But Zheng Xiao can't do these people, a group of nobles and nobles, where do they know what the rules of the rivers and lakes are.
Therefore, at the beginning, Shan Si's plan was to secretly go up the mountain, stay aside, and wait for the officials and soldiers to kill, and they should cooperate with each other.
And now in this situation, they can only take one step at a time.
After a feast, before the sun became scorching, the crowd dispersed. Shan Si and Zheng Xiao returned to the cave, one hiccuping, the other burping, and nausea and nausea convulsions from time to time.
Entering the cave, a group of second-generation nobles surrounded him, Zheng Xiao felt that his stomach was turbulent again, he had never eaten so many black buns since he was born. I was just about to gag, but I heard Shan Si's voice sound:
"I just got a piece of news and I have an idea about it."
It turned out that Zheng Xiao had been patient, forcibly eating the turbid wine and black buns, and did not notice the situation on Shan Si's side.
At the end of the banquet, it seemed that someone came to pass on the secret message, and then Qiu Shaoyan left, and it didn't take long for the banquet to end.
And Shan Si, who was beside Qiu Shaoyan, heard this secret letter.
"I heard that the rate died, and the death was unknown!" The four words are amazing.
"Wen Ren's men came down to report, Wen Ren led his personal guards to pursue the official army, but he did not return, so his men went to look for them, and found their bodies on the plain ten miles away, and the weapons, armor and horses on their bodies were all gone, probably because they were ambushed by the official army."
Shan Si recounted what he heard, and then said solemnly: "Now may be our best opportunity." As soon as Wen Renrate died, the cavalry he was entangled with was equivalent to being wasted, and almost all the guards he brought died outside, and now Qiu Shaoyan has no one to command the cavalry at all, which also laid the foundation for one of my plans. ”
"What's the plan?" Zheng Xiao asked.
"Operation Decapitation!" Shan Si looked at the second generation of nobles, and his eyes showed a glittering essence.
On the mountain, the second generation of Xungui can only rely on Shan Si, and for Shan Si's words, they obey their words, even if they are a thorn like Shi Wenbin, they don't dare to say a word.
The fourth man was a man of action, riding the scorching sun to scorch the earth, almost everyone hid in the shade, and he took his general, Zheng Xiao and his guards to sneak up the mountain.
Several of the guards of the second generation of Xungui stayed halfway up the mountain, waiting for them to be beheaded before leaving.
From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, there is an improvised road that is specially used to transport supplies up the mountain, otherwise the people in the mountain would have to starve to death by manpower alone. Because the mountain bandits really focus on guarding the position above the mountainside, there is no road further up.
Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, they would go down the mountain road, and the person who answered them would wait on the mountainside with their horses, and when they reached the mountainside, they could ride their horses away.
As for the rest of the second generation of honors, they had already gone down the mountain in advance when they went up the mountain in Shan Si. They don't do much, but are more likely to become a burden.
On the top of the mountain, Qiu Shaoyan was incompetent and furious, and Wen Renshu was the military advisor of this trip, a think-tank figure, and the real core of the team. And he is just a spokesperson who fits the image of the big leader in the minds of the mountain bandits. Now that the think tank and core are gone, Qiu Shaoyan has lost his square inch.
If the affairs here fail, it will only be a trivial matter, and with Qiu Shaoyan's ability, he still has the confidence to flee back to Liangshan.
The key is to face the questioning of the military advisor, which makes his heart tremble.
Since the advent of the first Tiankui star of Liangshan, the twenty-five forces of Liangshan have basically been divided into three factions.
With the Tianzi Camp as the leader, the Iron Wing Fort is second, and the Four Gods will be the last.
Among them, the Tianzi Battalion has the top three bigwigs ranked in the Juyi Hall, the strongest Tiankui Xing, and the Tianji Xing, known as the Liangshan Military Division. Qiu Shaoyan and Wen Renlu's forces are both members of the Tianzi Battalion.
At the same time, the Tianzi Camp is also a force that advocates outward expansion, bent on gathering the world's bandits and carving up the world with the intention of becoming independent.
And the Iron Wing Fort, which is not against the Tianzi Battalion, has the Luo family's father and son, Tianxiong Star Luo Sheng, Tianmeng Star Luo Xuan, and Tianwei Star Luo Qi. This Luo family was originally a wealthy family on the rivers and lakes, and after being suppressed by Emperor Wu City, they entered Liangshan, and rose strongly with their strong strength. What he advocates is the imperial court Zhao'an, and there are several forces under his command.
As for the Four Divine Societies, it is composed of the four great masters of Tianxian Star, Tianyong Star, Tianying Star, and Tiangui Star, which are in the forefront of the thirty-six Tiangang Stars. Acting as a peacemaker between the two forces is considered a neutral faction.
This time, Qiu Shaoyan and Wen Ren came to Shaanxi with thousands of miles in order to entangle a group of mountain bandits in order to plan for the future. Similar measures were carried out at the same time in several places in the world where bandits are rampant.
Before the departure, the military advisor Yu Kong had already made a threat, and the fate of the loser would be very high and tragic, unless you don't return to Liangshan, but after Liangshan has a strong future, a wanted warrant will also be issued.
"Wen Ren rate, you Ba Wazi, why did you die, damn it, damn it!" Qiu Shaoyan was impotent and furious, tearing at his scalp.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Boss Qiu, it's me, Shan Ding, I have something important to discuss with you, Boss!" ”
Qiu Shaoyan frowned, why didn't anyone come to report, but he was simple-minded and had no doubts about anything else, so he stepped forward and opened the door.
The cold light flashed at the door, Qiu Shaoyan reacted quickly, hurriedly dodged the attack with an iron plate bridge, and then rolled a few times, and when he got up, his body continued to retreat.
Two people broke into the gate, it was Shan Si and Zheng Xiao.
Shan Si's reputation is not obvious in the rivers and lakes, but the name of the far-sighted and powerful eight characters in the world is famous in the rivers and lakes, so the list of single four is Ding.
"Brother Shan!" No matter how sluggish Qiu Shaoyan is, he should react now, his eyes are red, and he gritted his teeth and shouted these three words.
Shan Si looked at Qiu Shaoyan coldly, and said contemptuously: "Just by you, you are also qualified to call me brother?" ”
Both of them are old rivers and lakes, Qiu Shaoyan has been a Kou for more than ten years, and Shan Si has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, so there is no extra greeting nonsense, and with one eye staggered, the two of them shot at the same time.
Qiu Shaoyan was experienced, flashed to the side, and picked up his mace.
Turning around, he swept down with his mace.
The mace is known as the first soldier on the battlefield, no matter what you do, you can break it with force!
But Qiu Shaoyan's mace just smashed down lightly, and he easily dodged it on all four sides, and at the same time withdrew the hand that was pressed on Qiu Shaoyan's head.
The mace fell to the ground, and Qiu Shaoyan's huge body first knelt on his knees, and then fell straight forward.
Zheng Xiao looked at this scene in a daze, just now Shan Si's body speed was so fast that there was an afterimage, in his eyes, the latter disappeared for a moment, and when his eyes caught it again, Shan Si's hand had already slapped on Qiu Shaoyan's head. I don't know how powerful this palm is, Qiu Shaoyan's head was sunken in a large chunk, and his brain was broken, and he died in an instant.
I secretly sighed in my heart, Shan Si is already the most outstanding figure in his generation, and two months later, Shan Si will become a high-profile existence.
Then the thought moved again, Zheng Xiao was excited, this time, it can be regarded as a military merit!
That's right, kill the enemy chieftain, this rabble will inevitably be in chaos, and the officers and troops will come again, and they will be easily wiped out. Back in the imperial capital, this can be regarded as a proper military merit, and the first merit is naturally Shan Si, but he came with Shan Si as a secondary merit.
As for the others, they are just here to gild, and there is no merit but hard work, and it is estimated that it will be symbolically expressed at that time, and it may not add up to as much as his secondary merit.
I was still happy in my heart, Shan Si over there had already done everything, Qiu Shaoyan's corpse was missing a head, and it was estimated that he would be even more brainless in his next life.
Because of the fast movements, Qiu Shaoyan's movements had not attracted the attention of others, Qiu Shaoyan and Zheng Xiao left with the guards and hurriedly descended the mountain.
When someone found the body of the guard at the door of Qiu Shaoyan's house, as well as Qiu Shaoyan's body with a missing head, it was already a moment later.
There was chaos on the mountain, and at this time, Shan Si and the others had already reached the mountainside. The chaos on the top of the mountain went down with the wind, and in the ears of Shan Si, Zheng Xiao and others, several people glanced at each other and smiled.
"Let's go, set off for Hanzhong, and find the official army to come and sweep the Dragon Mountain!"
[August starts!] Struggle Again]
