Text Chapter 2: The Beacon Flames Fill the Sky

Zhao Yangqi said: "There is still this kind of thing, let's hear about it." Chen Zheng said slowly: "It was almost ten years ago, my brother and I had not inherited the family business at that time, and once we went out to play, and we happened to arrive in Ruyin County. On the outskirts of that place, we suddenly heard a shout of killing, and our low martial arts naturally did not dare to show our faces, so we hid in the grass. I saw a man in his forties, covered in blood, unkempt and running forward, and seventy or eighty people behind him were desperately chasing after him with swords and swords. The person being chased can kill one person with a single palm, but his speed will also be slowed down by one point. The two of us had never seen such a battle, and we didn't dare to come out. They all ran away without a trace, and we crawled out of the grass. The virtuous brother didn't dare to look at it, so he pulled me and wanted to leave, I was curious at the time, so I still suggested catching up and seeing. We were still young and vigorous, and we finally followed. I saw a three-way intersection in front of us, and the footprints and car prints on the three roads were mixed and difficult to identify, so we didn't care so much, so we picked a road and left. After running for three or four miles, I saw more than 20 people who had just chased them lying on the ground, and they had all been killed. Now the two of us didn't dare to go anymore, and we wanted to run when we turned around, when suddenly, a faint voice behind us said, 'HelpΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I. When we looked back, we saw that the man we had been chasing was also on the ground, unable to stand. We were all so frightened that we didn't dare to come forward for a while. But he still asked for help there, and I couldn't bear it, so I finally stepped forward to help, and my brother also stepped forward to help. The man's weight was really not light, and we were exhausted and out of breath when we carried him out of half a mile. The man suddenly said, 'They are coming, do you know where to hide?' Although it is not Pingyu County, it is also in Runan after all, and the terrain is complicated but it is well known to me and my virtuous brother. There is a 'maze array' within half a mile, the structure is like a labyrinth, if it is a foreigner, unless there is a map to guide it, you can't go out. So we tried our best to help him hide in the 'maze array', and when it was dark, we were ready to escape. But the man said, 'Now you go out and you are throwing yourself into a snare.' I didn't believe it, so I let my brother accompany him in the battle, and I went out alone. ”

Zhao Yang said: "If you come out of the battle, I'm afraid you will be arrested." Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, after the group of people were lost at the three-way intersection, they divided into three ways, and all of them were killed by that person." The other two chased after him for a long time and then turned back, and after the round, he searched around, and as soon as I came out of the formation, I encountered several people with weapons. But it wasn't just me who was frightened, they were also startled, and one of them asked me in a trembling voice: 'YouΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Are you healed?' I also reacted too badly at the time, and replied directly: 'Then you need to say? Of course, it's okay.' The sound was completely wrong, and I was immediately recognized, and as soon as they swarmed me, they immediately pinned me to the ground. ”

Zhao Yangqi said: "It's amazing that you are still alive under their swords." Chen Zheng shook his head and said: "Of course, the senior helped, I only felt a gust of wind blowing, and the person who held me down fell two, and the other people were screaming in a hurry, and they were all killed in a while." ”

Zhao Yang said: "That senior has been recuperating in the 'Maze Net Array', and those people don't gather together but act separately, so it's strange if they don't die." I guess that senior is Wu Ze. Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, after Wu Ze's predecessor saved me, he took me and my virtuous brother to leave quickly, and took us to the county seat of Ruyin County in less than a pillar of incense." Zhao Yang smiled: "This is still when he is seriously injured, if he is in his heyday, it will be faster." After all, he is known for his speed. Chen Zhengdao: "We learned his name the next day, but he didn't say his name or other information. We asked him why he was hunted down by those men. He snorted coldly, saying that he was attacked by thieves and was seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't have taken those thieves seriously. ”

Zhao Yang said: "There are very few people in the world who can hit Wu Ze head-on, and there are very few people who can seriously injure him with a sneak attack and even dozens of thieves can hardly deal with it. It seems that the other five people should have done this. Chen Zheng nodded and said: "It should be so, and then he said that in order to thank me and my virtuous brother, he promised to teach us two martial arts, I was very happy, and immediately agreed." The virtuous brother said that he had passed the best age to learn martial arts, and hoped that Wu Ze's predecessors would accept his son as an apprentice in the future, and Wu Ze's predecessors also agreed. Later, I followed Wu Ze's predecessors to practice the 'Huanhu Gong' for ten days, and Wu Ze's seniors drifted away, leaving only one address. Later, the virtuous brother sent his three-year-old second son to the place, and there has been no news of him so far. ”

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "I think if Brother Chen is ten years younger, it will be enough to defeat Zhao with this ten-day practice of 'Huanhu Gong'." Chen Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't dare, I don't dare, my qualifications are dull, I'm afraid no matter how young I am, it will be difficult to learn this 'Huanhu Gong'." Now I really regret not giving this opportunity to my son. ”

Zhao Yang asked: "Brother Chen, how is your son-in-law studying now? Chen Zheng sighed: "I have five sons, the eldest is only twelve years old, and his talent is not more than Erer, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a big man in the future." Those masters of theirs are also mediocre in martial arts, and if Brother Zhao fights with them, I'm afraid they won't be able to take many moves. ”

Zhao Yang patted Chen Zheng's shoulder and said, "I have won awards, I want to take a look at them when I have time." Chen Zheng smiled: "Okay, I can't ask for it." ”

At this time, the butler came over and said, "Master, that Li Zhuangshi has finished bandaging. Chen Zheng and Zhao Yang hurriedly stood up and followed the housekeeper to see Li Jing. I just heard the doctor say: "The wound is not very deep, but it needs to be rested for a short time, remember not to exercise vigorously so as not to affect the wound, which may leave scars in the future." Li Jingchang smiled and said, "It's just a scar, it has nothing to do with life, so what's so difficult?" Thank you, doctor." Chen Zheng paid for the medicine, Zhao Yang thanked him more, and the doctor left.

At this time, Zheng Zhe also came to Chen's mansion and learned about Li Jing's injury, but saw that Zhao, Li and Chen were all solemn, and said strangely: "What's the matter, isn't Brother Li's injury not serious, how can you Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·?"

Chen Zhengdao: "The Yellow Turban Army is coming in a blink of an eye, they burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil, I am afraid that our people will Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· in peace."

Zhao Yang said: "The decision of a war will not be a few of us, but more about whether the people of the whole city can be united. The most important thing now is to find the county guard and the county order, so that they can gather the men and soldiers of the whole city to prepare for battle. Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe nodded yes, and Chen Zheng said: "Brother Zhao, Brother Li, you are resting in my mansion, and Brother Xian and I will go to the county guard." Zhao Yang waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do, so let's go with you." Chen Zheng knew that he was well-informed and his martial arts were superior to himself and Zheng Zhe, so he no longer objected. Zhao Yang said to Li Jing: "Senior brother, you can recuperate with peace of mind, we will go back as soon as we go." Li Jing nodded. Zhao Yang, Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe walked out of the Chen Mansion.

The three of them walked on the street, and Chen Zheng said slowly: "This county guards Luo Hu, has a cowardly temperament and good fortune, and is greedy for a lot of money. Usually he always scolds us big families, and we are embarrassed to expose him, after all, we are not court officials. And Mai Xuan, the county commander, is very tactful in doing things, but he is very timid. These two people are willing to help each other defend the city this time, and if they want to abandon the city and flee, they will sacrifice their flags. ”

Zhao Yang said: "But although their sergeants are not enough to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, it is still more than enough to surround us." If we want to control them, we must first win the hearts and minds of the people. Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe nodded yes.

The three of them walked to Fucheng, and happened to see several soldiers packing up their things, Chen Zheng knew seven or eight, and couldn't help but be furious, grabbed one person, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

The man was taken aback by Chen Zheng, and hurriedly replied, "County Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The prefectural magistrate is in Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· in moving. Chen Zheng threw him away and walked straight into Fucheng with Zhao Yang and Zheng Zhe.

I saw that dozens of people inside were packing up their things, Chen Zheng didn't speak, grabbed a person who was wearing a county magistrate's mansion, and said angrily: "Mai Xuan, are you going to abandon the city and flee?" That Mai Xuan was over forty years old, thin and small, and seemed to have no resistance in front of the sturdy Chen Zheng.

At this moment, those servants shouted one after another, dozens of government soldiers drew their swords and surrounded them, and someone shouted: "Chen Zheng, do you want to rebel?"

I saw that although Mai Xuan was lifted in the air by Chen Zheng like a baby, he looked like a hippie smile, and I saw him smile and said: "Chen Gongzi, why do you bother, presumably the current situation is very clear to both of you and me, why don't you take money and food with your life?" Oh, I forgot, you are a big family in Runan, and you can't bring all your treasures, so you have to pull us to be buried with your treasures, and it is really a good plan." ”

Chen Zheng sneered: "In my eyes, gold and silver treasures have never been valuable, I Chen Zheng only value conscience and friendship, compared to these two, gold and silver don't care." Mai Xuan said with a smile: "You said it lightly, can you do it? Now that the Luo County Guard has run away, you just kill me, and the army of the whole county can't be integrated, I think you still let me go, why don't we withdraw together." ”

Chen Zheng was furious, grabbed Mai Xuan's hair and walked out, and Mai Xuan screamed in pain. Those government soldiers wanted to attack, but they saw Zhao Yang pressing the knife on the side, majestic and majestic, and they didn't dare to step forward, but just followed closely.

Chen Zhengzhi dragged Mai Xuan to the most prosperous street in the city, and Zheng Zhe picked up an iron rod and smashed it on the iron rod on the side, which immediately attracted the attention of the surroundings. Everyone saw that it was Chen Zheng, Zheng Zhe and Mai Xuan, Chen Zheng was still pulling Mai Xuan's hair, and they all immediately became interested, whether it was eating or playing, they all stepped forward to watch.

Mai Xuan was dragged by Chen Zheng to more than half of his hair, and when he saw everyone watching, he hurriedly shouted: "Chen Zheng is about to rebel, everyone catch him quickly!" But Chen Zheng has always had prestige in the whole city, and no one listened to Mai Xuan's words.

Chen Zheng dragged Mai Xuan onto a high platform, and said loudly: "Folks in Pingyu City, the Yellow Turban Army is about to be killed, and our Luo County Guard and this Mai County Commander are going to abandon us people and flee for their lives alone, let's talk about it, can we let them go?"

Thousands of people were discussing, some of them should agree with Chen Zheng's words, but more of them were asking: "What's so terrible about the Yellow Turban Army, isn't it a peasant army, it should be very friendly to the peasants, right?" Chen Zheng knew that it was the government that blocked the news about the Yellow Turban Army, and he was even more angry in his heart, and said loudly: "Everyone doesn't know that the Yellow Turban Army has done all kinds of evil, burning, killing and looting along the way, and it is far more ferocious than the corrupt government. And after our county guard and county commander knew about this, instead of telling everyone, they were preparing to escape, our Luo county guard had already run away, and this Mai county commander also wanted to escape, can we let him go?"

At this time, there were some farmers in the crowd who followed Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe to work in the fields, and they confirmed the fact that the Yellow Turban Army brutally killed, burned, killed and looted.

Mai Xuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't be deceived by this kid Chen Zheng, he is a big family, and there are countless gold and silver treasures, and he can't move them at all." Not only did he not run away, but he also wanted the whole city to be buried with his treasures. ”

Now, the situation has changed, and some people have begun to question whether Chen Zheng is thinking about his own property. Chen Zheng said awe-inspiringly: "The husband is for the country and the people, and will never live for his own selfish interests, please believe that Chen, he will definitely fight for everyone and for the peace of the public until the last moment!"

"It's easier said than done!" As soon as Chen Zheng's voice fell, a voice came, and he saw a person jumping up to the high platform, a palm on Chen Zheng's shoulder, Chen Zheng's left shoulder was numb, Mai Xuan was out of control, and the man pulled Mai Xuan over.

Zhao Yang and Zheng Zhe hurriedly jumped on the high platform to support Chen Zheng, only to see that this person was about thirty years old, with a handful of beard on his lips, a green robe, two long swords on his back, a ruddy face, and bright eyes. Zhao Yang noticed him as early as in the crowd, and as a result, he acted quickly, and he could quickly fly up to a high platform about seven feet high from a few zhang away, Zhao Yang knew that the opposite side was a martial arts master, and the sum of his three people was difficult to match, if it was a malicious person, it would be a big bad day today.

Seeing that a savior had come, Mai Xuan hurriedly hid behind the green-robed guest, and kept shouting: "Hero, help!" The audience was even more noisy. The green-robed guest looked at Mai Xuan with a disdainful expression, and just said to Chen Zheng: "What you just said, can you do it?"

Chen Zheng said loudly: "I, Chen Zheng, value my own conscience and the love of the righteous in the world most in my life. I don't value money, but it must not be compared with the first two. As soon as he heard this, hundreds of people in the audience nodded their heads in praise.

The green-robed guest just sneered: "So, you still value money very much?" Chen Zhengzheng said: "People in the world, who doesn't love money, it's just that some people mistakenly put money in the most important position." The green-robed guest laughed and said, "Okay, you give me all the gold, silver and jewelry in your Chen Mansion, and I will return this county order to you." ”

Zheng Zhe was furious when he heard this, and suddenly stepped forward and punched the Qingpao Ke: "What are you talking nonsense?" Zhao Yang wanted to hold him, but it was too late, the Qingpao Ke slapped out with a palm and hit Zheng Zhe's fist, Zheng Zhe was immediately shocked and fell straight off the high platform, smashing a wooden table under the stage.

Where can Chen Zheng endure it any longer, and swing his fist towards the green-robed guest. Zhao Yang pulled out his long knife and stepped forward to help. As soon as the green-robed guest pointed at the big hole on Mai Xuan's waist, he pushed him out a zhang away with a palm, and then came to pick up Chen Zheng's attack. Chen Zheng slammed his fists into the lower abdomen of the green robe guest, and the green robe's right arm pressed down to block Chen Zheng's fists, and then swept his right arm towards Chen Zheng's chest, knocking Chen Zheng into the air and slamming him on the high platform.

Zhao Yang then arrived, he knew that the other party's strength was strong, and he had a chance of winning only by taking advantage of the other party's carelessness to go all out, so he directly used the trick "Yuanyong Wind" and slashed down at the green robe. The green-robed guest's eyes were shining, and he exclaimed, "Interesting!" and stepped back six feet to dodge a sharp blow. Zhao Yang knew that it would be even more difficult to win today, but he was never willing to admit defeat. A move of "breaking a thousand armies" attacked the green robe guest again, and the green robe guest did not fight back, but just dodged. Zhao Yang didn't stop, continuous attacks, "Linyuan net", "for the abyss to drive fish", "white tiger flying high", "spirit snake tail" and other tricks in a row, the green robe guest did not fight back, he was forced by Zhao Yang to constantly retreat and dodge, more than ten moves later, Zhao Yang forced to the corner of the stage. Zhao Yang didn't have time to think about why he didn't fight back, and a move "Blue Wolf Slash" slammed down towards the green-robed guest. The green-robed guest had no way to retreat, and suddenly pulled out a steel whip that came out of nowhere, and he blocked Zhao Yang's "Blue Wolf Slash". Zhao Yang turned into a thorn and stabbed at the chest of the green-robed guest, and the green-robed guest laughed and said, "It's too ruthless!" tilted the steel whip and blocked the tip of Zhao Yang's knife impartially.

No matter how hard Zhao Yang exerted his strength, he couldn't stab the steel whip, and said in his heart: "I'm ashamed." Then he withdrew the long knife and sighed: "Your Excellency's martial arts are very high, Zhao Yang admires it." Who knew that the young robe guest said: "Brother Zhao, why did you say this? If your 'Yuan Crazy Sword Technique' is hot for a few more years, I'm afraid I, Liu Yuanqing, will not be able to resist it." ”

Zhao Yang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is Liu Yuanqing, the head of the Taishan faction?" Liu Yuanqing smiled: "It's exactly below." Brother Zhao, I have admired your master for a long time, and if I have time in the future, you can help me introduce you. Zhao Yang said: "This is natural, but the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of the Yellow Turban Army." Liu Yuanqing nodded and said, "That's true." With that, he walked towards Mai Xuan and threw him to Chen Zheng.

Zhao Yang said: "This is Liu Yuanqing, the head of the Taishan faction, and there is no malicious intent, Brother Chen, you can continue." Liu Yuanqing also arched his hand: "It was Liu who was reckless just now, and he was offended." Brother Chen, Brother Zheng, Liu is here to apologize. Chen Zheng nodded, while Zheng Zhe stood in the audience, annoyed in his heart, and did not respond.

Chen Zheng lifted Mai Xuan up and said loudly: "The Yellow Turban Army has committed me Runan and killed countless people. We were born in Runan, so naturally we want to fight for Runan to the end, and I, Chen Zheng, swear to live and die with Runan!" Zheng Zhe also jumped on the high platform and shouted: "I swear to live and die with Runan!" Thousands of people in the audience were immediately excited when they heard this, and the words of "vowing to live and die together with Runan" quickly swept the entire Pingyu City like a sea of mountains.

Liu Yuanqing gathered his internal strength and said loudly: "The Yellow Turban Army will arrive in less than three days, the men of the whole city, pick up your weapons and prepare to fight them to the death!"

The people of the entire Pingyu county town began to act. Chen Zheng threw Mai Xuan on the ground, turned to those officers and soldiers and said, "Put him in prison, and after repelling the Yellow Turban Army, he will be disposed of." The officers and soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Mai Xuan just wanted to scold, but he couldn't move because the acupoint was pointed.

Zheng Zhe said: "You just have to do it, and we will bear everything." The soldiers escorted Mai Xuan away.

Chen Zheng bowed his hand to Liu Yuanqing: "This Liu Zhuangshi is so good at kung fu, why don't Chen Zheng want to invite you to my mansion to talk about it?" Liu Yuanqing smiled: "I just wanted to try your martial arts background, three of you are not strange." Chen Zheng waved his hand: "Please." Zhao Yang took Liu Yuanqing to walk in front.

Chen Zheng saw Zheng Zhe's displeasure and asked, "Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Zhe took a sip and said: "Cut, what's the big deal, isn't it just high martial arts? Zheng Zhe reluctantly followed.

As soon as he arrived at Chen Zheng's mansion, the housekeeper Chen Hong came out and said, "Uncle, the second master is back." I only heard a hearty male voice say: "Big brother, little brother, I only came back once in three years, but you are not at home, it's really disappointing." I saw a white-faced man of twenty-five or sixteen years old walking out of the house.

Chen Zheng said with a smile: "Second brother, do you still know how to come back? I haven't gone home once in three years, who knows which gust of wind will blow you back one day?" Then, he said to Liu Yuanqing and Zhao Yang: "This is my second brother Chen De, who likes to wander the rivers and lakes since he was a child, rarely idleness at home, and has made many heroes and heroes outside." ”

Liu Yuanqing said suddenly: "Brother Chen Dexian, I didn't expect you to be Brother Chen Zheng's younger brother, it's really fateful." Chen De fixed his eyes and said, "Hey, Master Liu, why are you here?" Liu Yuanqing said: "What you come to do, I will do it." Chen De smiled: "Oh, thank you for your help." The Taishan faction really deserves to be a famous and decent family in the world, and I think Senior Brother Zheng will get their head over to help with a word. ”

Liu Yuanqing waved his hand: "My second junior brother drank too much, and talking nonsense after drinking is part of it, but more because the Yellow Turban Army killed innocents indiscriminately, my Taishan faction can't sit idly by, and now the six of our senior brothers have gone out to help each other." Chen De, I have only one person, whether I can save you Pingyu County depends on you people, not me, understand?" Chen De nodded and said: "This is natural, but with the help of Master Liu, the matter of defending the city is naturally twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhao Yang took advantage of the two chatting and looked at Chen De. I saw that he had a fair complexion, and he didn't look like a brother at all with Chen Zheng, who had darker skin, but was quite similar to Zheng Zhe, which was very strange.

Chen Zhengdao: "Okay, okay, don't say it at the door, go in and say." ”

After the five entered the mansion, Zhao Yang introduced Liu Yuanqing and Chen De to Li Jing, and the six of them sat at a table to discuss how to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Yuanqing took the lead and said: "According to the news of my Taishan faction, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army who attacked Runan this time is Peng Tuo, and his army exceeds 50,000. According to my calculations, they are still about two days away from Pingyu, and at the same time, Nanyang's commander Zhang Mancheng has already broken through Nanyang with 70,000 men, and will come to join forces with Peng in about seven days. ”

Chen Zheng asked: "Is it possible that they will bypass Pingyu and attack Yingchuan instead?" Liu Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "There is this possibility, but they are peasant armies with limited supplies. Once they bypass Pingyu, their supplies will be insufficient, and Pingyu will definitely not reassure them if they are in the rear. If we want them to give up attacking Pingyu, they will only give up Pingyu if we block their attack for a certain amount of time, so that they cannot assemble with Zhang Jiao's troops at the scheduled time. ”

Chen De asked: "Then how many days are we going to block them?" Liu Yuanqing said: "There must be at least ten days, the first seven days are only Peng Tuo's 50,000 troops, and the last three days will be at least Peng Tuo's and Zhang Mancheng's 100,000 combined forces." ”

Zhao Yang asked Chen Zhengdao: "How many men and horses can Pingyucheng mobilize now?" Chen Zhengdao: "All the men and soldiers add up to tens of thousands of people. Liu Yuanqing said: "The war is the same as the battle on our rivers and lakes, not in the number of people, but in the quality." If we can train them effectively, they will definitely be stronger than the Yellow Turbans. Zheng Zhe said: "This is also in vain, our soldiers are only a few thousand, how can we train those men to the level of soldiers in two days?" Liu Yuanqing glanced at Zheng Zhe and said: "This is naturally not possible, so we have to start from morale." Chen Zhengqi said: "How to start from morale?" Liu Yuanqing stood up and said: "You will know when the time comes." Okay, time is running out, let's go and prepare. ”

The six dispersed, Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe went to gather the men and soldiers, Zhao Yang and Li Jing stayed in the mansion, and Chen De accompanied Liu Yuanqing to drink.

Zheng Zhe complained all the way, saying that Liu Yuanqing had no one in his eyes. Chen Zheng said with a smile: "People are knights in the rivers and lakes, and their lives on weekdays are different from ours, so why should you bother with him, okay, everyone is now in the same boat, and only by working together can we repel the Yellow Turban Army." Zheng Zhe snorted and followed Chen Zheng to gather people.

A day later, outside the city.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army of 3,000 gathered on a dirt slope called "Jianquan Slope", and the first one, named Yu Fifteen, was dark-skinned and tall, and he was the vanguard officer under Peng Tuo. He led 3,000 elite cavalry to attack Pingyu City.

Yu Fifteen looked at the silent Pingyu City, and couldn't help sneering: "It seems that this official is running faster than a rabbit." This whole city is empty, where is there any need for our light cavalry to come to attack at night in such a hurry. Huang Seventeen, who was behind Yu Fifteen, said: "Brother Fifteen, Qu Shuai has his own reasons, let's attack the city quickly, so that the other brothers will know the majesty of our light cavalry tomorrow." Yu 15 nodded and smiled: "Yes, in the first few battles, everyone rushed to the front, who knows who is more powerful? Those useless infantry really think that we are on the same level as them! Brothers, charge me and capture Pingyu City!"

The three thousand light cavalry shouted together, raised their swords and guns, and urged their horses to charge. As soon as he rushed out of half a mile, he heard a "kill" sound from the air, and countless torches immediately lit up in Pingyu City. Yu Fifteen was taken aback, and saw that the cavalry around him had stagnated in their charge, and hurriedly shouted: "It's just a rabble, don't be afraid, rush with me!"

Liu Yuanqing had just urged the internal force to shout "kill", and when he saw that the enemy soldiers were still charging, he couldn't help but sneer. Chen Zheng beside him was draped all over his body, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" Countless archers on the city wall fired thousands of arrows in unison, and the random arrows rained down on the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, and countless cavalry fell from their horses with arrows.

Yu Fifteen didn't expect such a scene at all, but at this time, retreating was something he didn't want to do, so he immediately swung his big axe and rushed to the city gate.

There was only a sound, and the gates of the city were opened. Yu Fifteen was overjoyed, he rushed over first, but only saw Zhao Yang wearing armor and riding on a war horse.

Zhao Yang didn't speak, and swept towards Yu Fifteen with a move of "Yuanyong Wind". Yu fifteen only felt a gust of wind sweeping, and he didn't know what was happening in the darkness, only heard a "click", and the big axe in his hand had been cut in two.

Yu Fifteen knew that it was not good, and wanted to run away. Zhao Yang chased after Yu Shifu with a move of "driving fish for the abyss", Yu Shifu only felt a chill on the back of his neck, so he fell off the war horse and never stood up again. Zhao Yang finished his move, returned to the horse and left, and the city gate was closed. The other cavalry rushed into the gatehouse but could not open the city gate, and dozens of people were killed by the boulders that fell from the city. 3,000 light cavalry were shot dead and stoned to death, nearly 1,000 were killed, and the Yellow Turban Army suffered huge losses in the first battle of the night attack.

Back at Chen's Mansion, Chen Zheng said with a smile: "Today's defeat of the enemy army is mostly due to the fact that Master Liu is like a god and Brother Zhao is extremely brave." Liu Yuanqing and Zhao Yang both waved their hands and said: "Where is it, today is just the beginning, and tomorrow will start, and the big war is coming." We need to do a lot of preparation. Li Jing also said: "Yes, today they have lost a vanguard, and tomorrow the heart of revenge will definitely be stronger, and we have to guard against it." Chen Zhengdao: "That's true, we have to be more careful." ”

Late at night, Chen Zheng and Chen De went to the city tower to guard. Chen Dedao: "Big brother, do you understand, what the head of Liu said yesterday?" Chen Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't understand." Chen Dedao: "Master Liu asked me to tell you, what is the treatment of soldiers, what is the treatment of generals, then soldiers will have the strongest combat effectiveness." Chen Zheng suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder he asked us to accompany the soldiers to defend the city." Alas, it's a pity that the virtuous brother doesn't want to come. Chen De shook his head and said: "I can see that Brother Zheng Zhe is a little dissatisfied with Master Liu, and he probably won't listen to any suggestions from Master Liu." Chen Zheng sighed: "That's what I'm worried about." Forget it, let's do what we have to do first. ”

At noon the next day, the Yellow Turban Army of Jianquanpo was in Dazhai. I saw a person lying on Yu Fifteen's corpse crying, and Huang Seventeen and a man in gold armor next to him comforted him.

Huang Seventeen said: "Sixteenth brother, you mourn, the fifteenth brother was killed by the thieves and soldiers of Pingyu City, tomorrow, we will avenge him." The person wearing the gold armor was none other than Qu Shuai Peng Tuo, I saw that he had brown skin, a full beard, and very small eyes, so he couldn't see more expressions. Peng Tuo said: "Yu Sixteen, people are inherently dead, and your fifteenth brother died in battle for Huang Tian. You can rest assured, tomorrow I will avenge your fifteenth brother in Pingyu City. Yu Sixteen wiped his tears and replied: "Thank you Qu Shuai, tomorrow I am willing to be the vanguard and capture Pingyu City to avenge my fifteenth brother!" Peng Tuo nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow you will lead 8,000 cavalry to charge, and I will lead 30,000 main forces with Huang 17 and Wang 11 to help you." Go and rest and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle. Yu Sixteen left.

Peng Tuo beckoned, and Huang Qiqi and Wang Shiyi, who was dressed as a scholar, stepped forward. Peng Tuo sighed: "Although I have an army of 50,000, the only real henchmen are the Yu family brothers and the two of you. I originally wanted Yu Fifteen to take this opportunity to quickly take down Pingyu City and stand up in front of the brothers, who would have thought that Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" When Peng Tuo said this, he couldn't help but leave tears, and Huang Qiqi's eyes were also red. Only Wang Shiyi's face remained the same, and he sighed: "Not only that, our most elite 3,000 cavalry lost nearly one-third of the battle in the first battle, it seems that this Pingyu City is not like those previous cities that are about to collapse at the touch of a button." Although we want to avenge Yu Fifteen, we must not underestimate this peaceful city. ”

Huang Seventeen said: "That's true, I was not far from the fifteenth brother during the battle, and he was killed by someone in the city gate. I think there must be a master in this city. Wang Shiyi said: "If there are really honest people in the city, it will be difficult for us to take it." Qu Shuai: I have two suggestions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Peng Tuo said: "You say it directly. Wang Shiyi said: "First, I think for the sake of safety, don't rush to attack Pingyu City. First, I can let the defenders in the city relax their vigilance, and Zhang Mancheng, who can wait for Nanyang, to join forces with me and attack Pingyu together. Second, we can abandon Pingyu and directly bypass Pingyu and attack Yingchuan directly. First, we saved the troops to attack Pingyu, and second, with Zhang Mancheng behind, the army of Pingyu City did not dare to intercept our rear road. ”

Peng Tuo shook his head and said: "Neither of these are feasible, although Zhang Mancheng and I are both Qu Shuai, but in the eyes of the general, Zhang Mancheng is one of the "Six Yellow Turbans", obviously with a higher status. If I can't win Pingyu before him, won't I let him steal the limelight again? If I bypass Pingyu and let Zhang Mancheng see my back road, how can I pin the life and death of tens of thousands of troops on my competitors? These two plans will not work. ”

Wang Shiyi hurriedly said: "Qu Shuai! Now don't look at our Yellow Turban Army, although it has occupied a lot of cities, but now the situation is still unstable, the army of the Han Dynasty and the general have started a big battle in the north of the Yellow River, and now the general urgently needs the support of the Yellow Turban Army in our south, the longer the battle drags on for a day, the more unfavorable it will be for us, and only by breaking through Yingchuan as soon as possible and threatening Luoyang is the right way." Now is not the time to fight for power with friendly forces!"

Peng Tuo said angrily: "This Zhang Mancheng didn't take care of his subordinate Ma Yuanyi, if it weren't for his incompetence, how could the tens of thousands of sect members in Luoyang and the surrounding areas die tragically? You asked me to compromise with the master of such an incompetent person, and there was no door! Don't say it again, I have made up my mind, and I will definitely capture Pingyu City tomorrow!"

Wang Shiyi's hard persuasion was useless, knowing that it would be useless to persuade again, he sighed and left. Huang Qiqi caught up and said, "Brother Eleven, let's rest first, don't worry, we will definitely be able to capture Pingyu tomorrow." Wang Shiyi sneered: "Okay, tomorrow I will see how you capture this peace." ”

The next day, the Yellow Turban Army launched a charge, and wolf smoke rose everywhere in Pingyu City, and the sun that had just risen spread on the ground. The 8,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry of the Yellow Turban Army poured into Pingyu City like a tide, completely covering the sunlight on the ground. Liu Yuanqing, Chen Zheng, Zheng Zhe, Zhao Yang and Chen De each climbed the city wall to command the defense, and Li Jing sat in the Central Council to command the defense. At first, the Yellow Turban Army attacked fiercely, but after Liu Yuanqing's dispatch, all the manpower and material resources were used to make the four gates resist to the death, Chen Zheng, Zheng Zhe, Zhao Yang and Chen De were the first soldiers, each guarding their own city gates, and the entire Pingyu City and a radius of hundreds of miles were filled with shouts of killing.

The two sides fought fiercely for almost four hours, and the Yellow Turban Army lost several thousand men, and its morale had long since fallen. Liu Yuanqing took advantage of the situation to climb the city wall of the East Gate and shouted with strong internal strength: "The Yellow Turban Army can't resist anymore, the soldiers of Runan, fight them away!" The soldiers and villagers of Runan were already very tired, and when they heard the words that spread throughout the city, they all lifted their spirits and raised their weapons to fight hard.

Huang Seventeen and Yu Sixteen were commanding on the front line, and they saw that every time their soldiers attacked, seven or eight adults would be stopped or killed by bows and arrows and boulders, and only two or three adults could get close to the city wall, but it was difficult for such a few people to pose too much threat to the city of Pingyu. Huang Seventeen had the idea of retreating, but Yu Sixteen did not retreat, and shouted angrily: "My fifteenth brother died at the hands of this group of thieves, and I must not let them go, kill me!" Huang Seventeen's bitter persuasion was useless, and it was not until Peng Tuo gave the order that Yu Sixteen retreated with the army with a sad and angry face.

After withdrawing to Jianquanpo, Yu Sixteen angrily went to Peng Tuo to theorize. Peng Tuo said angrily: "Don't you know that we have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties? If the stalemate lasts until dark, we are even in danger of annihilation, do you want to harm the soldiers of the whole army with your own personal feelings?" Yu Sixteen was also furious, and wanted to fight back, but Huang Seventeen and Wang Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him away. Peng Tuo lost the first battle, and he was already quite annoyed, and immediately called Wang Shiyi to discuss countermeasures.

Wang Shiyi said: "Yesterday, Qu Shuai did not stop my strategy, and so far he was defeated, in my opinion, there must be a person with prestige in this Pingyu City who is leading the battle, so the combat effectiveness of the whole city will be so strong." Peng Tuo said irritably: "You are right, what else is there to do now, come quickly." Wang Shiyi whispered to Peng Tuo, and added: "Now, this is the only way to do it." ”

Peng Tuo thought for a long time, nodded painfully, and said, "Okay, now that the matter is over, you can do it." Wang Shiyi nodded and retreated.

In the Pingyucheng Council, Liu Yuanqing, Chen Zheng, Chen De, Zheng Zhe, Zhao Yang, Li Jing and several officers were all in office.

Liu Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "What about the casualties today?" Zhang Lou, the general of Pingyu, said: "About 3,000 people were killed in battle, and the number of wounded was more than 4,000. But because our army won, the morale is great. ”

Liu Yuanqing waved his hand: "It's still early before the end of the war, they will definitely change, but we don't know how they will change, and now the best strategy is to respond to all changes with the same." The gates were ordered to defend the city as originally planned. ”

"No. ”

After the meeting ended, Chen De came to Liu Yuanqing's side and said, "Master Liu, I didn't expect you to be very proficient in commanding troops and fighting." Liu Yuanqing said: "What a mastery, I used to read some military books with my master, and I only know a little about defense, if there is really a military master on the other side, I will have no way." Chen De smiled: "Don't be modest, you are clearly a military wizard." Liu Yuanqing pushed him away and said, "Okay, you hurry back to your position, I have something to do." Chen De sighed and said, "Okay, you go to do something, I'll guard the city." ”

Five days later, Jianquan Slope.

The sun is only shy to show the corner, but the battlefield is very different. Peng Tuo led Wang 11, Yu 16 and Huang 17 to the south to meet the rolling yellow sand, before the yellow sand, there were tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, the leader of the person had a Chinese face, full of beard, the skin was the same as Peng Tuo, but the figure was much stronger, it was Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army Nanyang. Peng Tuo reluctantly stepped forward and said, "Brother Mancheng, thank you for leading the troops to help me in advance." Zhang Mancheng said with a smile: "Brother Peng, you can see the outside world when you say that, why are they all the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, and now in this situation, we must work together so that we can capture Yingchuan as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that Zhang Mancheng was so enthusiastic, Peng Tuo was also embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, then ask Brother Mancheng to go to my camp to rest and rest." Zhang Mancheng waved his hand: "There is no need for this, our army is new and the sergeants are not tired, it is a good opportunity to attack the city, and it must not be missed." Seeing this, Peng Tuo was also furious in his heart, and immediately said: "Okay, we will capture Pingyu City now and avenge the fallen brothers!"

Chen Zheng only heard the sound of war drums coming constantly, and hurriedly rushed to the council house, seeing that everyone was there, he hurriedly took the position. I only heard Liu Yuanqing say: "The enemy soldiers did not attack the city for five days, and our fighting spirit has been greatly reduced, now we have to improve our fighting spirit first and deal a heavy blow to the enemy, do you understand?"

Zhao Yang asked, "Does Master Liu know what changes have happened to the Yellow Turban Army?"

Liu Yuanqing replied: "The siege method will not change much, but the number and morale will increase greatly. After all, there is more Zhang Mancheng and his tens of thousands of horses. ”

Everyone was shocked, Chen Zheng asked, "Zhang Mancheng, is he here today?" Liu Yuanqing nodded and said: "Yes, I went out of the city a few days ago to find out the news, and I learned that Peng Tuo invited Zhang Mancheng to join forces in advance. This Zhang Mancheng was a rectal man, and immediately sent his lieutenant general to lead 10,000 soldiers to continue to attack the city where he was located, and he led an army of 60,000 to Pingyu unhurriedly. This not only paralyzed us, but also recharged his army. ”

Zheng Zhe asked, "Then how are you going to deploy it today?"

Liu Yuanqing didn't look at Zheng Zhe, and said word by word: "Act according to the original plan, come one, fight one." The generals took their orders and departed.

Chen Zheng and Chen De stayed and didn't leave, Chen Zheng smiled bitterly: "Master Liu, how rude he is with his virtuous brother, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Liu Yuanqing said with a smile: "I know he's dissatisfied with me, it's okay, anyway, I'll leave after defeating the Yellow Turban Army." You'll go about it as usual, but remember not to talk to him about me again. ”

Chen Zheng and Chen De gave up.

The second battle was more dangerous than the first, Zhang Mancheng's army attacked more fiercely than Peng Tuo's army, and Peng Tuo's army was greatly demoralized and launched a fierce attack. Chen Zheng, Chen De, Zhao Yang and Zheng Zhe defended the four gates, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. This battle lasted five hours, and it was fought until dark, when Zhang Mancheng and Peng Tuo withdrew their troops.

I saw that the entire Pingyu City was covered with corpses, and the blood-colored breath completely overwhelmed the sunset. Zhang Mancheng and Peng Tuo's allied forces suffered more than 30,000 casualties and retreated to Jianquanpo to re-encamp. Pingyu City, on the other hand, was covered in blood, with most of the soldiers and villagers killed or wounded, and men died in almost every household. At night, I only heard the sound of crying all over the city, and the haze shrouded the entire Pingyu City.

Chen Zheng sat in the council house with a heavy heart, Zhao Yang and Zheng Zhe were exhausted, and they fell to their respective seats and couldn't say a word, Li Jing sighed: "If you continue to fight like this, it is estimated that all the men in the city will die in just two days." I'm afraid we'll have to think of something new. ”

Liu Yuanqing also nodded yes. Chen Zheng suddenly said, "I may have a way to defeat the Yellow Turban Army." Everyone asked the method urgently, Chen Zhengdao: "Last year, I was taking a nap in the room, and suddenly a person fell from the sky and said to me, 'The world is about to be in chaos', I saw this person sitting cross-legged, but floating in the air, the white beard dragged to the ground, I don't know if it is a person or a ghost." Then he said, 'What will you do when the world is in turmoil?' and I said, 'You should save the world with what you have learned.' He nodded and said, "That being the case, I give you a copy of the "National Salvation Policy", which is the sum of many years of combat experience of Li Mu, the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, and Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Guangwu, so you can make good use of it and use it to save the country." I hurriedly asked, "Senior, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· this "National Salvation Policy"?" But he interrupted me and said, 'I have placed this 'National Salvation Policy' in your library, you must find it and keep it safe, if you don't want to use it, you can give it to other masters, and if no masters come, remember not to look at it.' I was about to ask something, and he was already laughing and gone. ”

Chen Dedao: "Big brother, are you dreaming, how can there be such a thing?" Chen Zheng replied: "When I woke up, I found that I was really dreaming. But the most amazing thing is that I found the "National Salvation Policy" mentioned by the immortal in my library, and I can guarantee that there was absolutely no such book before. ”

Liu Yuanqing said: "Then have you read this book?" Chen Zheng shook his head and said: "No, since the immortal said it, how could I read it randomly?"

Zheng Zhe hurriedly said: "How can there be any immortals in this world? This "National Salvation Policy" may be used by God to save our peace, so why don't you wait for a while now? Brother Chen, why don't you go and take a look at it?"

Chen Zheng shook his head and said: "No, the words of the immortals, don't dare not listen, now among us, can anyone be regarded as a 'master' in the mouth of the immortals?" Zheng Zhe said to Liu Yuanqing: "Isn't this it?

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Since it is the guidance of the immortals, it is natural to listen to the words of the immortals, otherwise it will be difficult to fulfill." So I don't think it's better to use it. Zhao Yang and Chen De nodded one after another, and Zheng Zhe saw that no one agreed with him, so he had to give up.

Zhao Yang asked: "Since we don't need this "National Salvation Policy", then what should we do tomorrow?" Liu Yuanqing said: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, and only if you kill or injure their leader will you have a chance." ”

Chen Deqi said: "How can you kill Zhang Mancheng and Peng Tuo?"

Liu Yuanqing's eyes flashed, and he said, "Surrender!"

The next day, the Yellow Turban Army Dazhai.

"What? surrender and give us the jade seal?" Zhang Mancheng said in surprise.

"Calm down, Brother Mancheng. After our onslaught yesterday, it is estimated that they are already disheartened, after all, it is their relatives who die, who wants to watch their relatives fight and kill every day?" Peng Tuoyun said lightly.

"That'Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What is this jade seal for?"

"I heard that it was the jade seal of Runan County, which was issued by Emperor Guangwu back then. ”

Zhang Mancheng scratched his head and said, "How come I've never heard of such a thing?"

"Don't worry, they came to our Dazhai to surrender, I don't believe they can play any tricks in our 100,000 army. ”

Zhang Mancheng nodded and said, "It seems to be the case." ”

Wang Shiyi said: "The two commanders, we might as well take the plan, accept their surrender on the one hand, and take advantage of their unpreparedness to break through Pingyu City in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes, that's a great plan. Zhang Mancheng's strategist Miao Song echoed.

"Okay, Brother Peng, you are responsible for accepting their surrender in the camp, and I will lead 10,000 cavalry to go around their backs and attack them, how about it?" asked Zhang Mancheng.

Peng Tuo was very reluctant in his heart, but after all, the other party helped him, and it was inconvenient to object, so he had to nod and say, "It's just like Brother Mancheng's arrangement." ”

"Okay, I'll reply now, it's noon today, and accept their surrender. ”

In the peace hall, everyone was discussing countermeasures. Liu Yuanqing said: "They have accepted our surrender and agreed to open the village at noon to welcome us. Which of you is going with me?"

Zhao Yang said: "This matter is too risky, I'll come." Chen Zheng said: "Brother Zhao, this time is too dangerous, let me go." Zhao Yang shook his head and said: "Brother Chen, Zhao is in the imperial court, there is only one son in the family, and my wife is still alive, so I don't care about life and death, but you have five sons." Besides, in the future, Pingyu City will depend on you to recover. Chen De also said: "Big brother, your martial arts are not as good as Brother Zhao, it's better to stay, I'll go with Master Liu and Brother Zhao." ”

Li Jing said at this time: "I didn't go into battle in the first two battles, so let me accompany Master Liu and Senior Brother this time." Brother Chen Dexian, it's better for you to stay. ”

Chen Zheng hurriedly said: "Brother Li, your injuries have not healed, how can you go in person, or I will go." Li Jing said: "The injury has healed quickly these days, and it is no longer in the way, so it is better for me to go." ”

Everyone was arguing, and Liu Yuanqing interrupted: "Stop." He asked Li Jing again: "Brother Li, are you sure it's okay?" Li Jing said firmly: "There is no impact." Liu Yuanqing said: "Okay, Brother Zhao and Brother Li will go with me, and the others have other tasks, I think you should understand." Chen Zheng, Chen De, and Zheng Zhe understood in their hearts and nodded.

At noon, the gate of the Yellow Turban Army was wide open, waiting for the surrender of Pingyu City.

Liu Yuanqing, Zhao Yang and Li Jing followed Mai Xuan out of the city gate slowly, and Chen was watching from the city tower. Zhao Yang held a jade box in both hands, claiming that it contained a jade seal. Li Jing pressed his right palm on Mai Xuan's back and said in a low voice: "Remember, do what we say, otherwise I will kill you with one slap." ”

Mai Xuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Understood, understood." ”

After a body search, the four of them walked into the village, and Liu Yuanqing saw that Peng Tuo was the only one, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.

Wang Shiyi asked, "What kind of official position do you have?" Mai Xuan pointed at Zhao Yang and replied: "This is Luo Hu, the county commander of Runan County, and I am Mai Xuan, the county commander of Pingyu County." ”

Peng Tuo suddenly pointed at Zhao Yang and scolded: "Okay, you thieves from Runan, the heavenly soldiers are still resisting in vain here, they really deserve death!"

Mai Xuan was taken aback by his sudden scolding, but Zhao Yang was not afraid at all, he just smiled and said: "We have now understood the power of the heavenly soldiers, and we have come to surrender, I hope the general can forgive us ignorant villagers, we are all from peasants, why hurt each other?"

Peng Tuo was shocked by Zhao Yang's bearing, and wanted to scare the other party, but was stopped by the other party, it was really difficult to ride a tiger. At this time, Wang Shiyi said: "Okay, quickly present the jade seal." ”

Zhao Yang had just taken three steps forward when he heard a shout of killing. Peng Tuo deliberately asked, "Oh, what kind of sound is this?"

Zhao Yang's face did not change, and he smirked: "Oh, that's General Zhang Mancheng attacking the city." ”

Peng Tuo was stunned for a moment, Zhao Yang didn't wait for him to react, he took out the steel whip, long knife and long sword from the jade box, turned around and threw the whip and sword to Liu Yuanqing and Li Jing behind him, and then danced the long knife and rushed to Peng Tuo. Peng Tuo hurriedly punched, and Zhao Yang flashed behind him with a "whoosh", pointed at his "shoulder well point", and then put the long knife on his neck.

Only then did the generals of the Yellow Turban Army react, and they all picked up weapons and surrounded them. Wang Shiyi stopped Yu 16 and Huang 17, who wanted to come forward, and said, "Are you here to deceive you into surrendering?" I advise you to give up, General Zhang Mancheng has already broken through your Pingyu City. Those who know each other will quickly let go of our Qu Shuai, and then tie their hands together!"

Liu Yuanqing sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want him to die, get out of the way!" The sergeants looked at each other and had to get out of the way. Peng Tuo wanted to stop them, but he was hit by Liu Yuanqing and couldn't make a sound, so he could only secretly complain.

On the other side, Zhang Mancheng led the army to attack the north gate, and no one released arrows until he rushed to the city. Zhang Mancheng was overjoyed and said: "They must think that we will not attack, come and come, everyone climb up with me." With that, his men set up a ladder.

Miao Song reminded: "Qu Shuai, be careful of deception. Zhang Mancheng didn't care: "Forgive them for being a small county, it is already quite difficult to resist two attacks, and now they definitely have no manpower to defend." Come, follow me. ”

Miao Song was inconvenient to persuade again, so he led people to stay under the city wall. Zhang Mancheng had just led his troops to the city wall, only to hear a bang, and Zheng Zhe led countless soldiers to rush out of the shadows.

Zhang Mancheng saw that the number of people on the other side was inferior to himself, and laughed: "Playing a tug-of-war with us is simply looking for death, big guy!" After that, he raised his knife and rushed towards Zheng Zhe, and the rest of the soldiers also raised their knives forward.

Miao Song was commanding the soldiers to enter the city, and suddenly the city gate was opened, and Chen De led the troops to kill them, intercepting the Yellow Turban Army who were ascending the city, and suddenly there was a scuffle in the city. The Yellow Turban Army thought that the soldiers of Pingyu City had suffered heavy casualties in the last battle, and their morale must have been lost, who knew that almost all the soldiers in Pingyu City were relatives and friends, and the soldiers who died in the last battle, Xiang Yong and the rest were brothers and friends, and the remaining soldiers and Xiang Yong were even more angry when they saw the Yellow Turban Army, and their fighting spirit was extremely high, and they all fought with the Yellow Turban Army like crazy, although there were few people, they also fought with the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Yuanqing, Zhao Yang and Li Jing escorted Peng Tuo and Mai Xuan to slowly retreat to the south gate of Pingyu City, which had already been opened. Liu Yuanqing and the others quickly entered, and Zhao Yang shouted: "Don't attack the city, otherwise your Qu Shuai will be in a different place." Wang Shiyi stomped his feet anxiously: "Oh, they came prepared, what can we do?" Huang Qiqi also hurriedly said: "Brother Eleven, what should we do?" Wang Shiyi said: "So far, I can only look at Zhang Manchengqu Shuai." Let's go over and take a look. ”

After Liu Yuanqing and others captured Peng Tuo alive, they sent someone to take him into custody, and then took Mai Xuan back to the prison, and immediately rushed to the north gate.

Zheng Zhe and Zhang Mancheng fought fiercely, Zhang Mancheng had a lot of strength, and knocked Zheng Zhe down with a few slashes. Zheng Zhe rolled to dodge, Zhang Mancheng didn't hit the continuous attack, and the anger "soared", and said angrily: "Coward, how long are you going to hide?"

Zheng Zhe couldn't roll anymore, he slashed Zhang Mancheng's left foot with a knife, Zhang Mancheng took the knife, and with a slam flick, Zheng Zhe's knife flew out. Then he slashed at Zheng Zhe's head, and said in his mouth: "Suffer death, little thief!"
