Zhang Ning thought for a while and said, "There are four generals under Liu Xin. Zhang Yun is a spear, Zhao Yun is a boy, and he is also a spear. Axe. There is no one who makes a big sword." Zhang Ning finished speaking, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not Xu Huang, otherwise the enmity would become even greater.
Guan Hai said: "At the entrance of the village, two soldiers made the gun generals fight with me. It must be Zhang Yun and Zhao Yun. Could it be Liu Xin himself?"
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "How could it be Liu Xin? The big man you mentioned is black and fierce. Liu Xin has a white face and handsome appearance. Dad, I really can't think of who this person is."
Zhang Jiao looked at his daughter thoughtfully and said: "Okay, you all get back, I will think about it again."
What he worries most now is whether there will be a livelihood in Liu Xin's hands, and if so many people have died at once, will Liu Xin check the details of these people, then follow the vine and find his head. At this time, Liu Xin was already interrogating those who live.
Liu Xin also stayed on the top of the city until dawn before seeing the team returning from Gaoyang. Surprisingly, Dian Wei also appeared in the team. There was also a black-faced man who was walking with him.
It turned out that Dianwei returned from Chenliu, lost his way in heavy fog, and went to Qiaojun by mistake. In a mountain village, when he encountered this big man leading someone to block his way, the words were inconsistent for two times, so he fought and fought for more than two hundred rounds, regardless of the outcome. Dian Wei was furious, and simply camped outside the village, fighting with this big man every day, and couldn't tell the outcome for more than ten days.
Seeing that it was not early and the Spring Festival was approaching, Dian Wei didn't want to continue fighting with him for fear of Liu Xin's blame. Who knows that this big man is careless and cut off his retreat. Dianwei was anxious, and shouted to the big man: "Wu, that man, quickly get out of the way and missed your grandfather's important affairs. You can't afford to blame it."
The big man sneered: "As long as you win the knife in my hand, you will be up to you wherever you go."
Dianwei said: "You and I have fought for more than ten days, and we have never distinguished the winner. Why don't we change the gameplay."
The big man asked: "What is the gameplay?"
"Drink! Whoever gets drunk first loses." Dian Wei hurried back to Hejian, and relied on being too drunk, so he proposed this method.
Unexpectedly, the big man laughed loudly after hearing this: "Drink more than me? You are seeking your own death."
The big man ordered him to bring dozens of jars of wine from the village, and the two of them competed in front of the battle. Both of them were drunk from the middle of the day until dusk. Fearing that the two of them would lose, they all rushed forward, actually handing in hand. Without this big man, the villagers were not the opponents of the Feihuwei guards brought by Dian Wei. They were all beaten away after a fist. The big man was still drunk and became a prisoner.
The next morning, both Dianwei and the big man's wine gradually woke up. Seeing that he was tied up by a rope, the big man yelled anxiously: "You are a fool!"
Dian Wei also angrily said to the soldiers beside him: "Let go of him quickly, I will compare him with him again."
A soldier persuaded: "General Dian, it's hard to catch this culprit, don't compare it. We have been out for many days, and you will be blamed if you don't go back."
The big man said angrily: "Who did you say is the culprit! I think you are the culprits!"
Another soldier said: "Of course we are officers and soldiers, can't you see the uniforms on us?"
The big man shook his head like a rattle: "I don't believe it. The officers and soldiers will run when they see the culprit, and the thief will run when they see me. How could you be officers and soldiers."
Dianwei untied him and said: "Since you are not a thief, I will let you go. We are really officers and soldiers. I am the guard leader Dianwei under the prefect Liu of Hejian. If you don't believe it, go to Hejian. Just ask. I really want to go back to Hejian now. I can't compare with you anymore."
The big man loosened his tie and said to Dian Wei, "No, no, no. I'm from my village. My name is Xu Chu. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask who doesn't know me."
At this moment, there was noisy outside, and an old man rushed in and cried and said: "Please let the baby go. I will give you as much money as you want."
Xu Chu looked at the man and shouted, "Father, why are you here? I'm fine, isn't this good?"
The old man Xu stopped his tears when he saw that Xu Chu was okay, and knelt toward Dianwei. Dianwei hurriedly supported him and said, "Oh, old man, don't do this. If my adults know about it, I think I'm bullying the people."
Xu Chu repeatedly shook his head and said, "Is there an army in this world that doesn't bully the people? I don't believe it!"
A soldier said angrily: "Why not? We never bully the people! Yesterday we thought you were thieves, so we fought with you, otherwise, we would not fight with you."
When Old Man Xu heard this, he asked, "I don't know if you still accept people?"
Dianwei laughed and said, "Old man, you seem to be a little older. Haha, haha."
Old man Xu blushed and said, "It's not me, it's my son. You see that he has a strong body and a good martial arts. I don't know if your adult will accept him."
Dian Wei said happily: "That's great! With him, I can finally drink happily!"
Xu Chu pouted and said, "Father, I won't be a soldier, I will take care of you at home."
Old man Xu cursed: "Why are you so boring! Look at this general, who is about the same age as you, and is already in command. And where to find an army that doesn't bully the people! If you don't go, I will break your leg. "
Dian Wei said disapprovingly: "What's the problem with this, old man, you can just walk with us."
Everyone stayed in the village for a few more days. Old man Xu sold his family property, cleaned up his belongings, and went on the road with the team. Dianwei and Xu Chu also competed in martial arts along the way, but they mostly competed for alcohol at night. They slept late at night and got up late in the morning, so the speed of marching was naturally much slower. When they arrived in Gaoyang County, the sky was already dark. They missed the time and couldn't enter the city, so they had to stay in the wild. In the middle of the night, a soldier woke up and saw a beacon burning and reported to Dian Wei. Dian Wei caught the opportunity to play, and when he was willing to let it go, he ordered all the people to rush over. Xu Chu and Dianwei got along this way, and the relationship was very good. Dianwei asked Xu Chu to deal with the leader of the horse thief, so that he could make a big contribution and then serve Liu Xin. Xu Chu did not disappoint, and he hurt Guan Hai in three or five rounds.
Liu Xin heard that the black-faced man in front of him was Xu Chu, and was overjoyed, holding his hand and said, "Well, well, you are Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang. From now on, you will lead the Feihuwei with Dianwei."
Xu Chu asked puzzledly: "Zhongkang is the character my father just picked for me. How did the adults know?"
When Liu Xin heard it, it was broken, dare to feel that Xu Chu just gave the crown ceremony. The ancients were crowned in their twenties, and the crown ceremony was given by the elders or relatives to indicate that they had reached an adulthood. At that time, Dianwei did not have a word, it was Liu Xin who helped him take the word "evil comes", because in Liu Xin's memory, Cao Cao once called Dianwei "the evil comes from ancient". Liu Xin's brain turned quickly: "Well, it's like this. A few days ago, I dreamed of the golden armored god man. He told me that there was a strong man with the surname Xu and Chu Zi Zhongkang, who would come to help me. I still don't believe it, I didn't expect you to come today."
Last time, Liu Xin gave a false statement to the god of Jinjia, saying that there was a severe drought, and there has indeed been no single drop of rain. Today, this golden armor god man mentioned that there was Xu Zhongkang again, and the word "Zhongkang" was exactly what Old Man Xu had just given to Xu Chu. Everyone here couldn't help but awe at Liu Xin. This adult really has a god-man to help! Jushou and Tian Feng looked at each other and nodded secretly. They have always had great ambitions and wanted to achieve a great cause, so they have made up their minds to assist Liu Xin with all their hearts.
Liu Xin looked at the worshiping eyes of the crowd, and felt a little embarrassed. He was about to divert the topic, but he heard Zhao Yun stand up and ask: "My lord, Xu Chu is the commander, so what do I do?"
Liu Xin remembered that Zhao Yun was also the commander of Feihuwei. He thought for a while and said, "Zhao Yun, you are one year older this year. I am going to give you some burden. You can go to the army to be a Sima."
In fact, after Xu Huang was injured, Zhao Yun has always replaced him in managing the affairs of the army, doing a good job, and he has always wanted to be a general in the army, and now he finally got his wish.
Liu Xin knew what happened. The first thing was to understand the soldiers' casualties. The two hundred cavalry that Zhang Yun brought with him suffered the most casualties, with 35 killed and 42 severely wounded. Eleven of them might be disabled for life. At that time, there were many enemies and we were few, so it would be pretty good to have such a result. The Flying Tiger soldiers brought by Zhao Yun also injured more than 30 people, but none of them were serious. And the fifty cavalrymen led by Dianwei were catching up with Guan Hai's defeated soldiers. It was a one-sided massacre with no casualties. Tian Feng and Jushou should naturally take care of the wounded and caring for their families, so Liu Xin didn't have to worry about them.
In this battle, the "horse thief" was beheaded more than 500 levels, and more than 300 people were captured. Liu Xin inevitably had to interrogate the captives, because he had deliberately interrogated him alone. He only asked one person a word, and he understood everything, because the captive told him that the leader was Guan Hai. This confirmed his guess that these people were not horse thieves at all, but peaceful people.
Knowing the truth of the matter, Liu Xin became embarrassed instead. According to reason, if something like this happened, he should report it to the court as soon as possible. But from the bottom of his heart, he did not resist the peasant uprising. Although he dropped out of school early, the education he had received since childhood is still ingrained in his mind. The peasant uprising is only an extreme manifestation of the ruling class resisting the ruling class. Moreover, he has never thought that he has the ability to prevent the Yellow Turban Uprising from happening. All he wants to do is to keep Hejian from being affected and let himself live a stable life for a few years.
Therefore, Liu Xin only asked one question and did not continue to ask. He also made a decision that everyone was puzzled by, and released all these prisoners. The reason is that these people are also poor people. I believe that after this time. , They will change their minds and behave well. In fact, Liu Xin wanted to release the prisoners to reveal Zhang Jiao's meaning: Let's forget about the matter this time, I hope everyone will follow their own paths without violating the well water in the future.
Zhang Jiao was waiting anxiously, but it was calm. After a few days, all the captured Taiping Daoists were released back. According to their account, Liu Xin only asked one question-who is the leader of the team? Nothing else was asked, and then they were all released.
This Liu Xin, what does he want to do? Zhang Jiao was lost in thought.
