Chapter 145: Under Taiyin Mountain
The sky is already bright, the warm sun is shining on the desert outside, and the fine sand is golden everywhere. The sound of horses' hooves outside the inn sounded as if it were a horse, but it was impossible for a horse to make such a loud vibration.
The five hundred tigers and leopards led by Xu Chu arrived, and the five hundred horses marched as neatly as one. When the sound of horses' hooves reached the door of the Dragon Gate Inn, they stopped moving forward, and stopped in unison, and everything was silent. Like a long time ago, these soldiers were already here.
It was not they who came, but they never left. Like the Qin figurines.
I knew that Xu Chu must have noticed something wrong, so that the tiger and leopard rode here to a halt. I have signal fireworks on me, and they didn't go off last night, so they're only here now.
I walked out of the inn and arched my hand, "General Xu, I'm here." ”
Xu Chu turned over and dismounted, and said in surprise: "General Duan, I think this inn must have gone through a fierce fight last night, are you all right?"
I smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's okay, General, get off your horse and drink a glass of water and wine before leaving." ”
Xu Chu patted his water bladder and said with a smile: "No, I brought it." He paused for a moment and said, "After this Yanmen Mountain, it is the boundary of the Xiongnu, I am afraid that this trip is very dangerous, I think it is more appropriate for us to go together." ”
"Well, that's exactly what I mean. ”
At that moment, he said goodbye to Long Pei and Jin Xiangyu, and stuffed silver privately into the shopkeeper Ding Hei. Hu Chuquan and I went on the road with 500 tigers and leopards. Long Pei went to contact the old department alone, and it was inconvenient to go with us.
In the middle of the desert, Hu Chuquan and I walked ahead, and the tiger and leopard rode only half a mile away from us.
Although Xu Chu joined Cao Cao's military camp not long ago, he was definitely Cao Cao's confidant general, and the character he replaced was Dian Wei, who died young. Dian Wei made a double halberd, weighing eighty pounds. Chasing the tiger across the stream, holding the flag with one hand, he has saved Cao Cao's life many times.
At the time of Wancheng, Taishou Zhang Ji surrendered to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was careless, and when he saw Zhang Ji's wife, who was as beautiful as a flower, he did that kind of thing that night. But Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the Northland, couldn't see it, and led his troops to rebel that night, almost killing Cao Cao. Fortunately, Dian Wei did not leave the left and right, inserted more than ten small halberds on his back, took people in five steps, and saved Cao Cao's name, but he died in Wancheng. Dian Wei was praised by Cao Gong as "evil".
After surrendering to Cao Cao, I heard Cao Cao talk about Xu Chu being the first in the martial arts Cao Ying! He and Lu Bu fought alone for more than 20 rounds without winning or losing, which can be said to have earned enough face.
Among the Cao army, there are several other generals worth mentioning, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are his brothers, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun are his brothers. In addition, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Yu Ban and others are all Cao Cao's most comfortable generals.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Dynasty, when there were many famous generals of Jin Ge Iron Horse, it was the most brilliant era of martial arts, and these generals under Cao Cao were the generals who rose from the battles of life and death.
Fighting on the battlefield is more than a military general than a soldier! A military general will win a decisive victory with martial arts, and a soldier will win with a good one. Among the world's combat power, Cao Cao's 5,000 tigers and leopards are the best in the world, and they have not yet been defeated. In the turbulent times of the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao realized a bloody truth, that is: the victory or defeat on the battlefield is never a competition in the number of soldiers, but in the matching of troops.
This is also his combat skill in the battle with Yuan Shaoguandu.
Under the closure of Yanmen, this ancient battlefield that has fought countless times is overwhelming, the team is outdated, and the evil spirit rises to the sky, and even the tiger and leopard rider can't help but tremble. Xu Chu suddenly laughed and said, "You dogs, who hasn't touched a woman yet?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they heard him talk about women, they suddenly came to their senses. The cold atmosphere of Yanmen Mountain seems to have decreased a lot. A soldier said: "General, we are all people who live on the edge of the knife, how dare we marry a wife? At most, we will go to the kiln to wander around, but it will be the same as those celebrities, and ten literati will have to admit it, how can they be our opponents?"
I only heard Xu Chu snort, and said with a cruel smile: "I'll go to the fucking wind and snow!" Lao Tzu took six hundred Yellow Turban troops to grab the territory the year before last, robbed a daughter who assassinated Shi Shi, stripped her naked on horseback, and stabbed her to death and hung on the spear when he was done, this is Lao Tzu's wind and snow!"
A person who looked like an adjutant was familiar with Xu Chun, and quipped: "I heard that the general once got drunk after playing with women." Lying bare-ass on the snow for a while, I heard that your thing was frozen so that you couldn't see it, and now you can still call it?"
Xu Chu didn't care, patted his stomach and said with a heroic smile: "It's still thick or thin, my old Xu is on the horse and bed, it's all the same, if any of you don't believe it, borrow your daughter and give it a try, I can't accept you!"
The adjutant smiled: "These brothers don't have daughters. If the general is in a panic, find a woman from the Qinglou and our brother to scrape together some money, which is still enough for eight times out of ten. ”
Xu Chu sighed: "It's been more than a month since I left, and I don't know what happened to Prime Minister Cao and Yuan Shao?
I deliberately stayed where I was and waited for him, and said with a smile: "General Xu has received this drudgery, but he is so depressed that he can't sleep every day?"
Hu Chuquan looked at the sky above his head and muttered, "The sky has changed." ”
After the Yanmen Pass, the sky suddenly changed. Originally, the sun was still shining, but at this time, it was cloudy and windy, and it became extremely cold. At this time, it is already late autumn, and I am afraid that it will snow.
After traveling more than ten miles, suddenly a group of military horses with about ten people blocked the way. Seeing us coming, one of the leaders took the lead in kneeling down to Huchuquan, muttering endlessly, it should be the language of the Xiongnu. Hu Chuquan shouted loudly, obviously quite angry, but the leader said a few more words, and Hu Chuquan pondered for a long time, but nodded.
"Brother Hu, what did he say?" I couldn't understand his words and was quite anxious.
Hu Chuquan said: "Brother Duan, I decided to go to Taiyin Mountain alone. ”
"Taiyin Mountain?" I exclaimed, "Isn't that the territory of one of the four demons, the black bear, what are you going to do?"
"The bears have a heavy army, and it would be a great help to persuade him to submit to me. He had always been ambiguous about my two brothers, and did not take a stand in support of my brother, and this time I went alone to persuade him and promise him some benefits. Hu Chuquan said.
I pointed my horsewhip at the leaders and asked, "These are the people of Taiyin Mountain?"
Hu Chuquan said: "Exactly." They had been waiting here for a long time, on the orders of the black bear, in order to invite me up the mountain to plot. Since the black bear has this intention, if I don't go, it will be timid, how can my Hun boy be greedy for life and afraid of death? This is also a godsend, I and the black bear can discuss alone, and the grasp is still very great. He muttered: "Besides, if I don't go, we won't be able to get through this Taiyin Mountain!"
When I heard him say this, I felt that it made sense, and said, "You can go up the mountain, but I must be with you." This trip is unpredictable, in case there is a mistake, I am also sorry for the trust of Your Majesty and Prime Minister Cao Cheng. ”
Hu Chuquan was quite embarrassed, but still nodded and said, "That's fine!"
He went to negotiate with the leader of the team again, and muttered a lot, the leader was not very happy, the two argued a few words, Hu Chuquan was very angry and ignored him, the leader was helpless, but after looking at me a few times, he still nodded reluctantly. I discussed a few words with Xu Chu, and Xu Chu waited at the foot of the mountain with his men and horses.
At the foot of Taiyin Mountain, Hu Chuquan and I went up the mountain with knives.
