Maoshan has been known as the "Altar of the Supreme Purity" and the "First Blessed Land" since ancient times.
The mountain scenery is beautiful, with peaks hiding springs. The nine peaks, nineteen springs, twenty-six caves and twenty-eight pools in the mountain are famous far and wide.
According to legend, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were three brothers from the Mao family who practiced cultivation on the mountain. Eventually, they achieved great success and were listed as immortals. Therefore, later generations built the Sanmao Taoist temple, called them Sanmao Zhenren, and called the mountain Sanmao Mountain. As time passed, Sanmao Mountain eventually evolved into today's Maoshan.
Li Hanzhi was stationed on the west side of Dinggong Mountain, one of the nine peaks of Maoshan Mountain, while Chen of the Xuzhou Ganhua Army was stationed on the east side of Dinggong Mountain. Chen was on the defensive and Li Hanzhi was on the offensive. However, Chen defended himself in a dangerous place and Li Hanzhi was unable to do anything to him.
Spring is back and everything comes to life.
The deep winter is finally over. For Li Hanzhi, who has always liked to fight and run around, this winter has really suffocated him. Now he just feels itchy and uncomfortable all over. He has nothing to do, so he might as well tease Chen again to see if he can lure this old turtle out of his shell, Li Hanzhi thought.
Just do it. Li Hanzhi brought 5,000 troops and came to the gate of Chen Daying in a proud manner.
The gate of the Ganhua Army was closed, which made Li Hanzhi very disappointed. Was his trip here in vain again
How could he be willing to make a wasted trip? Li Hanzhi's face was as gloomy as water. He immediately mobilized his guards and started to curse.
Following Li Hanzhi's order, countless guards of the Cao army immediately turned into brainless shrews, opened their mouths and greeted Chen's aunts, uncles, and ancestors warmly. For a moment, obscene words roared into the sky and rolled towards the Ganhua Army camp.
Outside, the shouting and cursing of the Cao army could be heard again. The guards of the Xuzhou Ganhua Army had become accustomed to it over the years. When they heard the enemy greeting Chen's ancestors, they had no temper at all. What's more, some of them were even fascinated by the sound and had strange smiles on their faces.
Being scolded is much better than being killed. This is the unanimous thought of the Xuzhou guards now. Ever since more than a dozen officers known as Xuzhou's fierce generals were smashed into meat paste by Li Han's stick, they have had to think so.
Of course, the most aggrieved and ashamed person in the entire Xuzhou camp was Chen himself.
At this time, he was sitting in the big tent with a gloomy face and unfriendly eyes. The soldiers and generals on his left and right did not even dare to breathe deeply, for fear that if something went wrong, they would be sent out by Chen to die.
At this moment, outside the big tent, a 6-foot-tall, sturdy, high-spirited man came to pay his respects, filled with righteous indignation.
This man was none other than Chen Gong, who had just arrived here. The guards outside Chen's tent knew that this guy was a captain as soon as they saw his attire, but they did not stop him and let him walk into the tent.
If anyone dares to offend Chen at this time, this guy will be considered blind, so let him go in and get beaten to a bloody pulp, so that his brothers will not have to suffer in the end.
Chen Gong entered the tent easily. When he looked up, he saw Chen Gong sitting on the commander's seat with a gloomy face, looking at him unkindly. Before the other party could scold him, he immediately bowed and said, "General, the bandits are rampant and speak bad words. I am willing to fight against the bandits Li for you. Please allow me."
When Chen saw that someone was blind, he was about to scold him to relieve his annoyance; but unexpectedly, the other party asked for a fight as soon as he opened his mouth, which aroused his curiosity.
Looking up, I saw
The man was over six feet tall, with a strong face. As the unbearable curses were heard outside the camp, the grief and anger on his face became more and more intense.
This discovery immediately touched Chen. This was a loyal subordinate. He was immediately certain that, didn't he see that he was being scolded? Wasn't this guy angry
Having first thought about it, his tone softened and he asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Chen Gong, a junior officer under Commandant Zhang."
"Are you new here?" Chen rolled his eyes and asked with certainty.
"Yes, General. He just arrived from Pengcheng at the beginning of the month."
Chen heard this, with an expression that it was just as he expected, and sighed, "Forget it, if Li Hanzhi wants to scold, then let him do it. Just don't go out, or you might not be able to come back alive."
Chen Gong looked up at Chen and said angrily, "General, why do you want to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? As a man of Xuzhou, why should I be reluctant to die?"
The tone was sonorous and full of indignation.
Chen was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at him unhappily and said disdainfully: "You have good ambitions, you are a real man; but knowing that you will die, you still go to die, you are a coward; this general, seeing your courage and sincerity, cannot let you lose your life in vain, go down."
Chen was probably really frightened by Li Hanzhi. Apart from closing the gate of the village and defending it tightly, he didn't even dare to show his head. Even if someone asked him to fight, he had no interest in it.
With this thought in mind, Chen Gong did not retreat as he was told. He said generously, "General, please pity me, but I would rather die in battle than watch the thieves insult you. Please allow me to go to battle."
Chen Gong was unwilling to fight, so he immediately made an impassioned speech with an expression that showed that the master would be humiliated and the minister would die.
However, his artificial behavior won Chen's great favor. He originally didn't want to let such a loyal general go to war, and when he saw that the other party was willing to take the risk to fight in order to avoid humiliation, he was even more moved.
"I appreciate your loyalty, but Li Han is no match for you. You will die if you go. You'd better go down."
"General, how can you know that your subordinates are defeated without fighting?" Chen Gong said stubbornly.
This bastard, Chen cursed inwardly, but when he saw the other party's stubborn look, he thought about it and finally compromised. Since he wants to try, let him try. People will only learn their lessons after suffering a great loss.
With this sigh, Chen looked at Chen Gong with a complicated look and said, "Well, since you insist on doing this, I will allow you to fight. As long as you can win a move or just come back with your life, I will immediately promote you to captain."
Chen Gong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and said in a thankful tone, "Thank you, General."
Looking at Chen Gong who walked out with excitement, Chen shook his head, as if he didn't think highly of him at all. He had seen how powerful Li Hanzhi was, and that guy was simply not a human being, he was almost like a ferocious beast.
Outside the camp, Li Hanzhi sat on his horse, yawning. He thought that today would be just like the previous days, with all kinds of trouble. However, unexpectedly, his guards only cursed for less than a quarter of an hour, and the gate of the Ganhua Army's camp was opened from the inside with a "creak".
As the camp gate opened, more than two hundred guards filed out. A strong and capable general, more than six feet tall, rode out on his horse with a sword in hand, and headed straight for the Cao army.
The person who came was Chen Gong, followed by Zhu Li and Yang Zai.
Xing, Han Zhi and others.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Li Hanzhi. The two sides were about 400 meters apart, and Chen Gong and his party stopped their horses.
Judging from the posture, he should be out to fight. Li Hanzhi instantly became energized. He immediately picked up the iron stick and rushed forward, his heart filled with a hot excitement.
Li Hanzhi was a very cruel person. Born into a poor family, he had an extremely unfortunate childhood and was forced to become a monk, where he developed many skills. Perhaps it was the trauma of his childhood that made him psychologically distorted, and he was extremely cruel, and fighting was a common occurrence for him.
As soon as Chen Gong and his men appeared, he didn't even let the other generals test them. He rode out of the main formation and shouted, "Chen, the coward, finally gave up. Who of you will come up and die first?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong said in dissatisfaction: "Li Hanzhi, you are too arrogant. You dare to assert that we are here to die before we even fight. You underestimate us too much."
Hearing this, Li Hanzhi laughed loudly: "Haha, if I am arrogant or not, come up and try it and you will know. My iron stick has been thirsty for a long time."
This Li Hanzhi is indeed very arrogant. Chen Gong snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "You are not worthy to fight with me. Defeat my other generals first."
After saying that, Chen Gong turned to look at Yang Zaixing. This was something they had discussed long ago. Except for Zhu Li and Yang Zaixing, it would not be safe for anyone else on their side to test the waters. Zhu Li finally decided to let Yang Zaixing weigh Li Hanzhi.
Yang Zaixing was very satisfied with Zhu Li's arrangement. As early as in Yongfengli, when Zhu Li said that Li Hanzhi was no inferior to him, he was very dissatisfied. Now he finally got the chance to verify it. How could he not be happy
Of course, he also had his own little thoughts. He wanted to use Li Hanzhi to let Zhu Li see who was braver, Yang Zaixing, or who was stronger, Li Hanzhi. As long as he killed this guy named Li, Zhu Li would surely be impressed.
With this thought in mind, Yang Zaixing rode out of the camp without hesitation, waved his spear, pointed at Li Hanzhi and said, "Little Li, come out and die quickly."
Li Hanzhi saw that the person who was sent to fight by the Ganhua Army was actually a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face like a tiger and a leopard. He was satisfied and waved his iron rod, responding: "Okay, then let me see what you are capable of."
One of them was eager to prove his strength to Zhu Li, and the other was combative by nature. They were really a pair of bastards, and they hit it off immediately. Yang Zaixing rode his horse at full speed, swinging his spear and stabbing. His spear was like a dragon and his spears were like rainbows.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether a player is good or not just by looking at his moves. In Li Hanzhi's eyes, Yang Zaixing's composure, timing and speed were just right, and he was obviously a master at first glance.
What's the point of killing a few idiots? Only an equally matched opponent can inspire the general's fighting spirit.
Yang Zaixing was obviously not a weakling, which made Li Hanzhi very excited. He did not dare to be negligent at all. He jumped up on his horse and swung his stick across the sky. With a "bang", the spear and stick hit each other. Li Hanzhi swung Yang Zaixing's spear away with his stick. He only felt his arm tremble and a little numb. The force coming from the spear was really strong, and it was actually on par with his. He was not surprised, but even more excited.
However, Yang Zaixing's deliberate stab was fruitless. The recoil force from Li Hanzhi's iron rod made him realize instantly that the opponent was indeed extraordinary. He immediately put away his anxiety and desire to verify, and concentrated on waiting.
