Chapter 516, General Light Pole

On the official road in front of Jiejia Mountain, Zhang Yuanyuan rode on a horse, with a horizontal knife in his hand and a lovely smile. He led his five thousand elite Flying Bear Army to put on a defensive battle formation, blocking Lin Guanqin's way. At first, Lin Guanqin thought that Zhang Yuanyuan wanted to invite him up the mountain to drink, but soon found that something was wrong, how could he invite someone to drink with thousands of soldiers and horses to block the road, and put on a posture that he would not let him lead the troops over?

There is still a distance of about 300 miles from Jiejia Mountain to Luye City, and Lin Guanqin only needs to lead his troops to march forcibly for two days and nights to rush back to Luye, but on the official road in front of Jiejia Mountain between these two mountains and a ditch, Lin Guanqin was blocked by Zhang Yuanyuan and his troops. Zhang Yuanyuan smiled and said: "General Lin, time flies so fast! Since the general's representative Jinglu sent the yamen to the mountain to recruit an and secretly allowed me to be a guerrilla general, it has been four years in the blink of an eye!"

Lin Guanqin smiled and arched his hand: "I heard that a few days ago, our prince sent Gu Anyue as a special envoy and crowned Zhang Dazhai as the general of Huaihua, which is really gratifying!

Although Lin Guanqin knew that Niu Mandi had bribed Zhang Yuanyuan to crown him as the general of Huaihua, he was still unconvinced. Lin Guanqin's ancestor was a native of the Western Regions, so Niu Mandi crowned him as the general of Huaihua in the name of the King of Jiannan.

Zhang Yuanyuan laughed and said: "I heard our second village master say that General Lin's ancestors were from the Western Regions, and he also grew up in the Western Regions when he was young, and there is nothing bad about being crowned as General Huaihua, but I am crowned General Huaihua, and I am not even allowed to give me some soldiers, horses, grain and grass, isn't this funny boy?

Lin Guanqin was stunned at first, and then said unhappily: "Master Zhang Dazhai, what do you mean by this? King Jiannan has always treated you well! When he promised you to be a guerrilla general a few years ago, how many weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, grain, grass, and military salaries were given to you? People should be grateful for their kindness, but they must not be ungrateful!"

Zhang Yuanyuan twisted his neck, waved the saber in his hand, and said with a grim smile: "General Lin, I have always been pragmatic, or I will give you the title of General Huaihua, you just need to leave the three or four thousand soldiers and horses under you! I will let you go immediately, how about it?"

Lin Guanqin was furious, pulled out his two swords in his hands, and shouted: "The surname is Zhang, you are worthy of being a thief! You are simply a wolf that you can't raise! In the past few years, our prince has not been good enough for you?

Zhang Yuanyuan was just about to answer, and a black horse came to Zhang Yuanyuan's side behind him, it was Qiao Chongliang who was dressed in a scribe's uniform, Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "General Lin's words are wrong! The reason why your prince is full of cattle and wants money and grain is nothing more than to raise his own dignity and use the master of my family's big village! Don't think that others are fools, he is full of smart cows, a few days ago he crowned the master of my family as the general of Huaihua, nothing more than to use us to recapture the Yujiang River!" As a result, we lost our troops and lost our generals, shouldn't we ask him to get this loss back?"

Lin Guanqin was furious, although he lost the battle outside Jianzhou City, it was because the opponent was Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng put Ning Chenggang, Hou Jingxian, Jin Chengzhang, Zheng Chong and others under the account, as well as Shui Rulong, Chen Chengshu, Xiahou Lingyu, Chonglai and others to help, against him, the local forces had an advantage, and he himself failed to personally command the battle on the way to transfer troops, so he lost the battle of Jianzhou.

However, Zhang Yuanyuan and Qiao Chongliang were just bandits and grass cowards who robbed houses and houses, how could they be put in his eyes Lin Guanqin? Lin Guanqin shouted: "You brazen bandits who have milk and are mothers! The heavenly soldiers are here, and you dare to block the way? I don't know how to write the word dead! Bandit, do you want to fight the general, or do you want to fight? This general will accompany you!"

Zhang Yuanyuan laughed, raised the saber in his hand in front of him, blew the blade lightly, and said with a mocking face: "I have long heard that General Lin is skilled in martial arts and martial arts, and the double swords are invincible all over Jiannan, so I will teach and lead General Lin's double swords! I don't know how cheap General Lin's double swords are, hahahaha......" Zhang Yuanyuan's minions laughed together.

Lin Guanqin was so angry that he almost gritted his steel teeth, this thief who didn't know whether he was alive or dead insulted him too much! Lin Guanqin clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and rushed towards Zhang Yuanyuan, and the horse's hooves raised a burst of sand and dust on the official road. Lin Guanqin's beard and hair are all Zhang, dancing double swords to take Zhang Yuanyuan directly, Zhang Yuanyuan also runs the yellow horse forward, and dances the saber to fight Lin Guanqin. The two horses circled, and the two of them started a fierce battle in the open space next to the official road in front of Jiejia Mountain.

The two fought for about five or six rounds, and Zhang Yuanyuan's head was sweating, he didn't expect that Lin Guanqin not only had high martial arts, but also great strength, and those two seemingly ordinary swords weighed more than ten catties. Zhang Yuanyuan fought with Lin Guanqin for two or three more rounds, turned his horse and ran, shouting as he ran: "General Lin's double swords are really cheap enough, Zhang is not your opponent, let's meet another day!"

Lin Guanqin was angry, and when he saw Zhang Yuanyuan fleeing, he also slapped his horse to catch up, and scolded while chasing: "Bandit, didn't you still talk wildly just now? Come on, come on, General Lin will accompany you to fight for another twenty rounds! If I don't kill all your nest of bandits, you won't know the three eyes of Ma Wangye!"

Zhang Yuanyuan didn't answer, didn't look back, didn't return to his own position, rode a horse to the mountain road next to the official road and fled, Lin Guanqin rode a horse and chased closely behind, the mountain path was only five feet wide, with dense woods on both sides and deep grass. Lin Guanqin chased out of the two or three miles, but suddenly realized, this place is lush with vegetation, just suitable for ambushes, this guy knows that he is not my opponent, he wants to ambush me here, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Guanqin immediately grabbed the horse with a "whoosh", looked at Zhang Yuanyuan's back and laughed: "Bandit, do you want to set up an ambush here to harm me?

Zhang Yuanyuan urged the horse to flee, turned his head and pouted and scolded: "My son, Uncle Zhang is not a three-year-old child, he knows that his skills are not as good as others, do you want to trick me into going back and capturing me alive? Uncle Zhang is even more unlucky!"

When Lin Guanqin heard him say this, he was a little puzzled, could it be that there was no ambush here, and this guy was just panicking? After thinking about it again, don't make trouble, the more than 3,000 brothers under his command are still waiting outside, and the top priority is to rush back to Luye City, and it is not too late to turn around and reorganize the soldiers and horses, and slowly clean him up! Thinking of this, Lin Guanqin turned his horse's head and was about to leave.

As soon as he turned the horse's head, he saw a few big trees on the side of the road more than ten zhang away, which just blocked the way back, Lin Guanqin was taken aback, his heart turned over, and he said secretly: "It's broken, it's really a trick!" When he looked back again, there was no trace of Zhang Yuanyuan on the path, and he must have taken the opportunity to escape. Lin Guanqin had no choice but to pat his horse and walk slowly along the path to the side of the fallen trees.

The tree fell sideways on the road, and people could find a way to turn over it, but what should the horse do? Lin Guanqin's head was sweating in a hurry, what should I do? Suddenly, I heard a noise behind him, and when I looked back, there were also several big trees that had been cut down not far behind him, and now they were blocked by people before and after, and the slopes on both sides were steep, and the horses could not walk.

Lin Guanqin was anxious, and suddenly heard the shouting of killing outside, and hundreds of minions came out of the mountains around the path, standing on the top of the small low mountain more than ten zhang high, all of them holding bows and crossbows aimed at him. A bearded minions shouted loudly: "Lin Guanqin, you have fallen for the trick of our second village master, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender? If you don't surrender, we will not be polite!"

Seeing that he had fallen into the trap, Lin Guanqin's hands and feet were cold in a hurry, this time it was bad, those soldiers outside were afraid that they would be more auspicious, Lin Guanqin secretly hated herself, why was she so impulsive? If she didn't chase her, she wouldn't have landed on this step! Lin Guanqin really wanted to slap herself a few times, because she underestimated the enemy, and accidentally fell into the tricks of this group of bandits.

Lin Guanqin calculated in her heart, the enemy condescended to release arrows, and he already had nowhere to escape, rather than being shot into a hedgehog by these bandits, it was better to surrender first, and then have the opportunity to take his soldiers and horses out of the cottage or kill these bandits directly. Thinking of this, Lin Guanqin shouted sharply: "Don't let go of the arrow, I'm willing to surrender!"

The leader of the little minions on the mountain said with a smile: "General Lin really knows the current affairs!" Okay, since General Lin is willing to surrender, I will throw a long rope down, and trouble the general to tie your double swords to it, I will pull the double swords up first! Otherwise, the general is strong in martial arts, and we will not be able to control you once he surrenders!" As he spoke, he ordered his subordinate little minions to put down a rope more than ten zhang long.

Lin Guanqin looked at the rope that had been put down, and cursed in his heart, this group of thieves was simply too cunning! But he had no choice but to shout loudly again: "Call you Dazhai master! You just took away my double swords, if you break your promise and release arrows downward, won't I be finished? I don't have any protection at all!" Lin Guanqin looked around as she spoke, seeing if there were any substitutes that could be used as weapons.

The little leader laughed and said: "General Lin, even if we don't take away your double swords, how long can you hold out if we release the arrows now?" General Lin is a smart person, don't do such a foolish thing, those who know the times are handsome, with your General Lin's skills, you have lowered my family's big village master, and my family's big village master will naturally be reused for you, and then the brothers will all work under General Lin, why should everyone be so embarrassed!"

Lin Guanqin had no choice but to jump off the horse with her twin swords, tie her twin swords to the long rope, and watch as those minions pulled the twin swords up with the rope. The minions untied the double swords from the rope, took the heavy double swords in his hands, and praised: "General Lin is not only high in martial arts, but also has great strength!"

The minions took the two swords in their hands, their eyes lit up, and they laughed: "Thank you General Lin for unsheating the sword! Brothers, release arrows to me!" More than 100 minions released arrows down the mountain, Lin Guanqin scolded, abandoned the horse, picked up a wooden stick that had been seen for a long time on the side of the road, used enough qi, and abandoned the horse and ran away on foot while striking the arrows. At this point, the horse has become a burden, and Lin Guanqin is thankful as long as he can escape by himself.

Lin Guanqin fled out of the mountain on foot, and scolded loudly: "These thieves who have children have no fart and no words!" Lin Guanqin hated, he knew that he wouldn't hand over the double swords, and it would be good to abandon the horse and rush out, alas, he didn't want to open it for a while, and he was fooled again! Lin Guanqin carried a stick and ran all the way out of the path, running out of breath, only hating his father and mother for having two legs.

When Lin Guanqin ran to the official road, he was dumbfounded, and from a distance, he saw that the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command were disarmed and escorted away by the Flying Bear Army under Zhang Yuanyuan, Lin Guanqin was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the dignified General Lin let the bandits play with him! He had no weapons or horses at this time, and he would die if he rushed up! Lin Guanqin sighed and fell to the ground, his heart like ashes. The soldiers and horses are gone, what is the use of him returning to the deer field?

Lin Guanqin really had the heart to die, and then thought about it again, he was left in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, Lao Tzu was just without soldiers, and he was not nowhere to go, with Lao Tzu's ability, which prince could not find an official and a half-job? It's just that he hated Tang Jiusheng, and he would never throw himself into Tang Jiusheng's hands!

Lin Guanqin took out the short dagger in her arms, went to the woods on the side of the road to find a small iron birch tree, used enough gas to break the iron birch tree, made a self-defense stick, took it with her, and walked along the official road to the direction of Jiangnan Road on foot. The dignified General Huaihua under Niu Mandi turned out to be a bare-rod general, and it was so bad that people laughed out when it was passed out!

It turned out that eight days ago, after Lin Guanqin led the remnants of the army to flee to the direction of Luye City under Jianzhou City, the Dongwei Fan in Jianzhou City had already received the news, and the flying pigeon passed the book to Cheng Lijian, a hundred Dongwei households lurking in Luye City, Cheng Lijian had already been bought by Zhang Yuanyuan, so he sold the news to Zhang Yuanyuan, and Zhang Yuanyuan was overjoyed when he heard the news.

A while ago, Zhang Yuanyuan suffered more than 2,000 casualties outside Yujiang City, and his vitality was greatly damaged for a while, but outside Anshu City, he watched He Yongjiang, the owner of the old Longshan Village, kill the one-eyed Ji Tianda, the owner of the Dufeng Mountain Village, and also incorporated 3,000 soldiers and horses under Ji Tianda.

Qiao Chongliang gave Zhang Yuanyuan an idea, designed to provoke Lin Guanqin, prepare to capture him alive, and then recruit his men. However, Zhang Yuanyuan knew that Lin Guanqin was strong in martial arts, and he would not be willing to be under his hands, so he secretly ordered his minions to trap Lin Guanqin, and after trapping Lin Guanqin, he must trick him into handing over his weapon and shoot him to death, but he didn't expect Lin Guanqin to be scheming and escaped with a stick.

Lin Guanqin's mind was hot, and when he chased Zhang Yuanyuan and ran into the mountain path, Lu Ye's soldiers and horses suddenly shouted behind him, and Lu Chengqiu, the commander of the army, looked back, and it turned out to be Lu Yecheng's ambush soldiers blocking the retreat behind him. He and his more than 3,000 soldiers and horses have been surrounded by the soldiers and generals of Jiejia Mountain, and the main general is not there, so Lu Chengqiu immediately panicked. Qiao Chongliang stepped forward and said loudly: "There is a steward on the other side!"

Lu Chengqiu was helpless, so he had to come out of the crowd, and said loudly: "Lu Chengqiu, the captain of the Commander of the Army, I don't know what the second master of Qiao has to say?"

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "Captain Lu, your General Jialin has been tricked and trapped in the mountains, if you don't surrender, you will inevitably be pierced by random arrows, and these soldiers and horses under your command have also been surrounded, and there is no way out! You might as well surrender with these soldiers and horses as soon as possible, so that you can have a place to stay." If the lord of my family is thirsty for talent, he will definitely not treat you badly, and you will also have a chair in the mountain, even if you are lucky enough to return to Luye with the generals, the cattle will not spare you defeated generals, do you think so?"

Lu Chengqiu heard that the main general was in the plan, he looked helpless, and thought that there was no way out, so he had to obediently dismount and surrender, Qiao Chongliang was overjoyed, and let the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Luye City lay down their weapons and were escorted to the mountain by the Flying Bear Army, only Lu Chengqiu's waist knife was retained. Therefore, when Lin Guanqin fled from the mountains in a hurry, he only saw their backs.

Zhang Yuanyuan got these more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he was overjoyed, and immediately let Lu Chengqiu sit in the third place in the cottage. Qiao Chongliang was very sorry, thousands of troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find. Therefore, Qiao Chongliang said with a regretful face: "Lord Dazhai, it's a pity that Lin Guanqin, a fierce general, escaped, if Lin Guanqin can also be surrendered, then our Jiejia Mountain will be even more powerful." ”

Zhang Yuanyuan shook his head and said: "Lin Guanqin's house, he doesn't take us seriously at all, even if it is temporarily dropped, sooner or later it will be reversed, the way is not the same, he will leave if he leaves! We have already got more than 3,000 horses, such a big bargain, what else do you need Lin Guanqin!"
