Jia Xu told Zhang Yan his plan, and after Zhang Yan heard it, he thought it was very good, so he asked Jia Xu to deal with the matter with full authority.

Yuan Shu was robbed, for Zhang Yan, this is not a trivial matter, but it is not a big deal.

After all, Yuan Shu's foundation has been lost, and as a traitor, everyone in the world has to be punished.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was not too worried about what the robbed Yuan Shu would set off.

However, the news of Yuan Shu's robbery can't be spread, otherwise, where is his face?

For this reason, Zhang Yan specially called Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Ying, and asked them to lead 200 cavalry each to look around. Once he met the person who robbed Yuan Shu, he brought him to see Zhang Yan, and he wanted to see with his own eyes who was so bold and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head!

In the main hall, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Ying were still drinking, and the amount of alcohol of the five was not small, although they drank a lot, they were not very drunk, and after the five people got Zhang Yan's secret order, they did not hesitate to leave the main hall immediately, and each ordered two hundred cavalry, and rushed to the place where Yuan Shu was robbed.

Half an hour later, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Ying came to the place where Yuan Shu was robbed, and Yang Lie, who was in charge of escorting Yuan Shu, immediately came forward and hurriedly bowed: "The last general Yang Lie, see the generals!" ”

Yang Lie is Xu Huang's general, after Yuan Shu was captured, Xu Huang sent his henchman Yang Lie to lead the troops to be responsible for the escort, I thought it would be foolproof, but I didn't expect Yang Lie to miss it.

Xu Huang took two steps forward on his horse, reined in the horse, raised the whip and whipped Yang Lie fiercely. Furious: "Yang Lie." What do you eat? For such an important matter, you can actually let people rob Yuan Shu away? You...... You ......"

Although the whip was whipped on Yang Lie's body, it didn't hurt at all, because of Yang Lie's negligence, Yuan Shu was robbed, and he couldn't escape the blame. Yang Lie also knew in his heart that Xu Huang whipped him in public, and he was also making a show for the rest of the generals. lest they fall into the tongue.

Yang Lie didn't dare to refute, and immediately blamed himself: "Yang Lie's poor guarding, let such an important prisoner be robbed, Yang Lie can't escape the blame, and ask the general to punish him!" ”

Xu Huang said coldly: "Punishment? Even if I kill you, it's not too much! But now is the time to employ people, and the lord has not condemned you, you should be good haodexiexie lord, and strive to redeem the credit! ”

"Yes, yes, the last general will definitely strive to atone for his crimes!"

"I ask you, how many robbers are there? And in what direction did they flee? Xu Huang asked straight to the point.

Yang Lie said: "There are about 200 robbers. After robbing Yuan, he fled in the northwest direction! ”

"Bastard thing!" Xu Huang listened to Yang Lie's words. Immediately became furious, this time, he was really angry, he raised his horsewhip and slapped Yang Lie's body fiercely, the whip collided with the battle armor, and made a crisp sound, "Lao Tzu gave you a thousand elite soldiers, who are specifically responsible for escorting prisoners, and only two hundred robbers can rob people from your hands, which shows how useless you are?" ”

Yang Lie hurriedly said: "The general is angry, it's not that the last general doesn't do his best to escort, but that those robbers are too powerful, all of them are strong in martial arts, especially the leader, the martial arts are even higher than the last general, and the last general fought with him for a few rounds, and was almost killed by the thief with one sword." Moreover, the last general and others have been gone for a day, and the people are sleepy, and the robbers have suddenly killed, which is really unexpected for us, so ......"

"Don't fuck me and find a reason with Lao Tzu! If the escort is not good, it is the escort is not good! What else is there to say? The rest of these people, you must take care of me, if one more is robbed, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head! Xu Huang said angrily.

Yang Lie clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Xu Huang turned around and said to Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Ying: "Generals, the robbers are strong in martial arts, they are not opponents, it is better to let them stay here, and we will immediately chase in the northwest direction, how about it?" ”

"General Xu, I will lead my troops to stay here, in case the robbers come back, I am afraid that these soldiers are not opponents." Chen Ying said immediately.

Xu Huang hugged his fists and said: "General Chen's words are reasonable, then there is General Lao Chen!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Xu Huang pursued in the northwest direction, but the four of them only brought 400 cavalry, in order to prevent accidents, they deliberately left 600 cavalry for Chen Ying to command, so as not to have any more accidents.

A group of people galloped along the northwest direction, along the way can see the robbers left horseshoe prints, a face chased out more than thirty miles, and in front of everyone is a fork in the road, there are horseshoe prints on both roads, in the end the robbers will go from which way, no one knows.

So, Xu Chu proposed: "General Gao and I will take the left road, and General Xu and General Zhang will take the right road!" ”

Everyone had no opinion, so the soldiers divided into two ways and continued to pursue.

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao took the road on the left, led two hundred cavalry, and chased forward for about five miles, but they encountered another fork in the road, and there were horseshoe prints on each road.

"It seems that we can only go separately!" Xu Huang said.

Zhang Liao nodded and said to Xu Huang: "The robbers continue to be suspicious at the fork in the road, which means that the robbers are very treacherous and don't want us to find each other so quickly, and our forces will be scattered." General Xu, be careful on the road! ”

Xu Huang said: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself!" However, General Zhang drank too much, in case he encounters robbers, be careful that he can't beat the robbers! hahaha......"

Zhang Liao knew that Xu Huang was secretly competing with him, and when he heard Xu Huang's words, he smiled, rode forward, and chased along the road on the left with a hundred cavalry.

Xu Huang also immediately led a hundred cavalry to chase the road on the right, and walked all the way forward for about seven miles, and suddenly found that the horseshoe prints on the ground had disappeared.

Xu Huang reined in the horse, frowned, and immediately turned over and jumped off the horse, searching the ground, but found nothing.

"There's no way the horses will suddenly disappear here, can't they have wings?" Xu Huang said to himself in wonder.

He calmed down for a moment and thought about it carefully. Bring torches at once. Reflecting the firelight. After searching the ground again and again, I finally found some clues.

"Humph! Carving insect skills, dare to deceive Lao Tzu? ”

Xu Huang found that the ground had been treated, and the dirt on the ground had been loosened, which was clearly different from the ground he was standing on.

Although this approach can confuse the real with the false, it cannot escape his eyes.

It just so happened that Xu Huang would make a plan. Simply followed the loose ground and followed it directly.

The group walked about a mile forward and found that the dirt had deviated directly from the official road and was heading towards a low hill.

Xu Huang was overjoyed, thinking that the robbers would inevitably be here, so he ordered someone to extinguish the torches, and then the whole army dismounted and walked up the mountain with him.

The hill is not high, but the road is really difficult to walk, in the narrow mountain road. The troubled times are full of thorns.

Xu Huang led people to the entrance of the mountain road. Suddenly found horse manure, he lowered his body, tested the temperature of the horse manure with his hands, and there was still some residual heat, which means that the robber has just passed.

The mountain road was rugged and the road was narrow, allowing only one war horse to pass through, and Xu Huang saw that the thorns in front of him had been cut open, so he was sure that the robbers had entered from here.

So, Xu Huang didn't say a word, and immediately led people to quietly enter the mountain from this mountain road, walked forward about two hundred steps, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and at the mouth of the mountain road, dozens of war horses were still tied to the stump, and they were bowing their heads to eat the green grass on the ground.

Looking further inside, you can see a cave with a faint light in the cave, and you can faintly hear the sound inside.

Xu Huang looked around for a week, and saw that there was no one around to defend, and it was estimated that they thought that such a strategy was already clever, and it was impossible to find them, so they sat back and relaxed.

"Brothers, we will rush straight in, and if the thieves resist, we will kill them. However, Zuihou wants to leave three alive for Lao Tzu! Xu Huang turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him.

"Whoa!" The crowd replied softly.

"Good! Rush in! ”

Xu Huang gave an order, immediately took out the steel knife he was wearing at his waist, and with the hundred soldiers behind him, he cautiously moved towards the cave.

At this time, the cave was brightly lit, and Yuan Shu, who was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, was still tied up with five flowers, but there was no stuff in his mouth.

Yuan Shu was also overjoyed that they rescued him from the prison car, but he didn't know this group of people, and he didn't know what the origin was, so he immediately asked: "You saved me, you are a great hero, you are about to loosen my bonds, I will definitely be good to you." ”

"You're all dying, and you're still there, do you really think of yourself as an emperor?" A man in black led by one took off the veil tied to his face, revealing a slightly immature face, which looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, this man in black is very tall, and his body is also strong, if you don't look at his face, he is almost no longer like an adult.

"What do you say? Dying? Didn't you go to great lengths to get me out of Zhang Yan's army to release me? Yuan Shu said with some surprise.

"Save you? Are you dreaming? The reason why I got you here with all the hard work is to kill you with my own hands, and I will slaughter you with my own hands, so that you can taste the taste of life is worse than death! The black-clothed young man said with a fierce face.

Yuan Shukong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Are you...... Who the hell are you? I have never seen you, why do you ......"

"Yuan Shu! You haven't seen us yet! But you had people kill three hundred and eighty-six people in our village, and even my father died at your hands. The revenge of killing the father is not shared! I don't want you to settle this account, who do you want to settle it? The young man in black said.

"I'm your father-killer? How come I don't know? Who are you? ”

"Yuan Shu, you remember for me, my name is Lu Meng, I am a native of Fupi in Runan County, when you sent troops to attack Runan, the soldiers burned and looted, my father was brutally killed by your army in order to protect the village, and 386 people in our village were all killed by your subordinates, men, women and children, not a single one was left, and my village was burned. This sea of blood and hatred, how can you not take revenge! ”

"Brother Lu, what kind of talk do you have to talk to him, kill him, and avenge the villagers and elders!"

"Revenge! Settle an old score! Settle an old score! The dozens of black-clothed people behind Lu Meng were all excited, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, raising their arms and shouting.

At this time, Xu Huang had already arrived outside the cave with the people, and suddenly heard the shout of "revenge" coming from the cave, thinking that Yuan Shu's old department wanted revenge, he shouted, raised his knife and killed into the cave, and the soldiers behind him followed closely and cut behind the group of black-clothed people.

Xu Huang's sudden appearance surprised Lu Meng and the others, they never expected that they would be found hiding.

Seeing that Xu Huang was extremely fierce and had already killed several people in a row, Lu Meng immediately swung his knife and slashed at Yuan Shu with one sword.

"Ahh

Yuan Shu screamed in fright when he saw the long knife coming, but his body was controlled by people, and he couldn't dodge this knife at all.

But seeing the cold light flashing, Lu Meng raised the knife in his hand, and beheaded Yuan Shu with one knife, a fresh human head rolled down, and blood continued to gush out of the cavity, splashing Lu Meng's body.

Xu Huang slashed left and right, and suddenly saw Lu Meng kill Yuan Shu, which surprised him, if these black-clothed people came to save Yuan Shu, why did they kill Yuan Shu again, and Yuan Shu is still tied up on his body, could it be that there is another secret in this?

"Stop!"

Xu Huang suddenly shouted, stretched out his arms, blocking the attack of the soldiers behind him, he glanced at the black-clothed people opposite, this group of people looked immature, young and very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, the first one, maybe a little longer than a year or two, but not too big.

"Who are you? weishenme wants to kill Yuan Shu? Xu Huang's eyes were like torches, staring directly at Lu Meng, who was the leader, and he could see at a glance that this person was the leader of many black-clothed people, and immediately asked.

Lu Meng faced Xu Huang and the others, his face did not change, and he said without humility or arrogance: "Yuan Shu should die, we killed him to avenge our whole village!" ”

"Revenge? What revenge? Xu Huang asked.

Lu Meng then told the story that all the 386 people in his village died tragically under Yuan Shujun's butcher's knife, and Xu Huang realized that this group of people had come to Yuan Shu for revenge!

"Revenge is not shared, it should be rewarded! However, Yuan Shu is already a dying person, and this time he was escorted to Pengcheng to obey the fate of the Son of Heaven, but you hijacked the prisoner car and committed a big crime, which is a capital crime! ”

Lu Meng said: "We are not afraid of death, as long as we can take revenge." Now that the great revenge has been avenged, we are worth it even if we die. Now that we are surrounded by you, I am afraid that we will not be able to break out, but this matter is planned by me, and has nothing to do with these brothers of mine, I am willing to tie my hands and follow the general back to confess, I just hope that the general can let these brothers of mine go! They are still young, and if they die, it is not worth it! ”

"Brother Lu, we are willing to live and die with you!" The rest of the men in black said with tears streaming down their faces.

Xu Huang was a little bold when he heard Lu Meng, and immediately said: "You are all good, but the family has family rules, and the state has national laws, and you have violated the national law by doing so." Go back with me, and I will exonerate you before the general!" ”

Lu Meng discarded the long sword in his hand, immediately knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the general has clear rewards and punishments, and he will definitely not kill us for Yuan Shu, a dog thief, whether we live or die, it all depends on the general!"
