【Chapter 395】 Xujiazhuang
"General Flying Tiger must not be like this, this fact is that the younger brother does not know how powerful it is, and it has nothing to do with the elder brother. Before, the younger brother saw that the eldest brother of the flying tiger was extremely talented, and it was absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people, but the eldest brother just said that daxiao had such a huge power, which was really the only one in the life of the younger brother, which was really amazing. In the future, if the eldest brother does not dislike the stupidity of the younger brother, and hopes that the elder brother will give him some guidance in his spare time, the younger brother will thank him first. ”
After speaking, Chen Zhi turned around and dismounted, bowed down and said to Li Li: "Lord, the crime of Fang Cai lies with the last general, and it has nothing to do with General Feihu, the last general is willing to be punished, please take back the punishment of General Feihu." ”
A hint of appreciation flashed in Li Li's eyes, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "Uncle Zhi doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." Were you hurt just now, and how do you feel now? ”
"Thank you for your concern, the end will be fine." Chen Zhi replied respectfully.
Li Li smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's good." Uncle Zhi has recently joined our army, and he is not very familiar with the generals in the army, but he will slowly know it in the future. At present, among my Xiliang generals, there are not a few people with strong martial arts, and Feihu and Zicheng are among the best, and their strength is the strongest. In the past, both of them had fought against Lu Bu, and their strength was equal to each other, and they all ended in a draw. I have already seen that Shu Zhi's martial arts are at a bottleneck, so I can ask the two of them for advice in the future, and I think I will be able to go further soon! ”
Chen Zhi turned his head to look at Li Zhi and Huan Fei in astonishment, but saw the two of them nodding with a smile, and immediately Chen Zhi bowed down excitedly and said: "Thank you for the success of the lord, the last general will definitely ask the two generals for advice, and live up to the high expectations of the lord!" ”
"Well, Uncle Zhi doesn't have to be anxious, the way of practicing martial arts is relaxed, and you must not be in a hurry." Li Li bowed his head and told Chen Zhi a few words, and then waved his hand to signal Chen Zhi to get on the horse. Holding the reins, he said loudly: "The rear team led by Duan Xuan should be almost here, we don't have to wait, we don't have to stay in the city, we must rush to Xujiazhuang this evening." Departure -- "
"Da Da Da!"
With a wave of Li Li's big hand, the group once again jumped on their horses and whipped their whips, and galloped straight to the gate of Qian County. About two teas later, Duan Xuan led more than 100 cavalry teams to rush over, and encountered the messengers specially left by Li Li and his party, and then they quickly whipped their horses. After that, they passed through the city and headed straight to the southeast.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Quick, hurry up, besiege Xujiazhuang, and capture Xu Manzi alive!"
Outside Xujiazhuang. Nearly 10,000 Gepi Yellow Turban thieves walked like a fly, quickly surrounding the huge wall fortress. It's blocked.
Outside the fort of the wall. A sturdy man dressed as a leader shouted loudly to his thieves to speed up and surround Xujiazhuang as soon as possible.
Under the scorching sun, I saw that this person was nine feet five inches tall, with a yellow scarf on his head and a green robe and a fine jacket. He has a rough face, a beard, and holds an iron rod nearly two feet long. He stood under a large locust tree with a crooked neck, looking into the distance. His eyes stared at the humble fort five feet high in front of him, and he shouted to his men to rush forward; The shouting was loud and the voice was loud. From this, it can be seen that his breath is long, his body is strong, and he is a big man with a height of nine feet and five inches, holding an iron rod, just like a yaksha.
And that's exactly what happened.
This tall and burly man is He Man, the leader of the Yellow Turban who has long been entrenched in Runan, Yingchuan and other places, known as "Intercepting the Sky and Yaksha", this name is extremely loud and widely known in Runan and Yingchuan. He has tens of thousands of horses under his command, all of whom are habitual bandits and soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, and their combat strength is quite strong.
In fact, there are more than ten Yellow Turban leaders entrenched in Runan, Yingchuan and other places, among which He Yi, He Man Brothers, Liu Pi, Gong Du and Huang Shao are the most powerful, and they are the five leaders of the Yellow Turban thieves in Runan. Each of them has tens of thousands of horses, occupies the top of the mountain, and each has its own government. When encountering the advance of the officers and soldiers, they will unite, with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and their strength is extremely strong, and they will unite with the outside world to resist the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, the government in Runan, Yingchuan and other places has always been helpless against them, and even extremely afraid, and they dare not provoke them easily. However, these yellow turban leaders often fight with each other because of the uneven distribution of spoils, and internal strife continues, and over time, they both cooperate and wary of each other.
Otherwise, if they are completely united into one army, even if they can't occupy the entire Yuzhou, they can occupy most of the counties and become a very powerful prince. If this is the case, then they will make the princes of the Central Plains like a man on their backs, like a fish in their throats, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat. It's a pity that the Yellow Turban thieves are difficult to become big after all, and their leaders are all reckless horsemen with brute strength, who have no ambitions, and are safe if they are rich; I only know that the mountains are kings, and the tigers roar in the mountains and forests, but I don't know how to seize a piece of land as a stable foundation and occupy a place in the troubled times.
The two Ho brothers are not brothers, but cousins of the same clan; He Yi is the brother, and He Man is the younger brother. Therefore, He Man has always looked at He Yi's horse, and was regarded as He Yi's subordinate general by other yellow turban heads. The two of them are both powerful people, He Yi is nearly nine feet tall, his strength is amazing, a spear in his hand is powerful, although his own martial arts are vulgar, but he relies on brute strength, and has a combat power comparable to the early stage of the top generals. Moreover, although He Yi has a rough appearance, he is a person who is rough and fine, quite strategic, and lives in seclusion at the head of the five yellow scarf leaders in Runan, occupying the top spot.
Compared with He Yi, his brother He Man is even stronger. He Man is known as the "Yaksha of the Intercepting Heaven", which is by no means a waste of fame, but a well-deserved name, and its force is strong, comparable to the deadly Yaksha. Whether it is height and body type or strength and martial arts, He Man surpasses his cousin He Yi in an all-round way, and it is not a slight advantage, but a huge gap.
Like his cousin He Yi, He Man was also from a poor background, and in his early years, he was the commander of the Yellow Turban Lux under the command of the Yellow Turban Heavenly Master Zhang Jiao, and also served as Zhang Jiao's personal guard together with Guan Hai, who fled to Beihai. During this period, he was instructed by Zhang Jiao and learned some martial arts tricks, unlike his cousin He Yi, who completely relied on his own brute force to fight. However, he didn't follow Zhang Jiao for a long time, he only learned some fur, and still relied on his own liliang to fight. Despite this, he has a combat power comparable to the peak of the top generals, and when he is strong, he is strong, and when he encounters strong opponents, he is often ferocious, using combat power comparable to the middle level of top generals.
Because of this, ordinary generals fought against him, and He Man was able to easily win with almost no effort. Therefore, among the Yellow Turban tribes in Runan, the name of "Intercepting the Sky Yaksha" is extremely loud, and it can be described as prestigious.
The hill occupied by He Yi and He Man brothers is Gepi, which is located at the junction of Runan and Yingchuan, and has been entrenched here for several years. The Yellow Turban thieves who besieged Xujiazhuang this time were the soldiers and horses under the command of the two brothers, but this was not the first time they attacked Xujiazhuang. In the past two years, they have led many sieges of Xujiazhuang, but they have been repeatedly frustrated and have not been able to attack for a long time. Over time, they regarded Xujiazhuang as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they did not remove unhappiness; As long as they find an opportunity, or if they have leisure time in the cottage, they will lead their troops to surround and attack Xujiazhuang.
In other words, Xujiazhuang has become a place where the He brothers trained their soldiers to fight, and they came to attack when they had nothing to do, forcing the people in Xujiazhuang to build a fort outside the village to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves. In the midst of repeated battles, Xujiazhuang is by no means a good place to bully, on the contrary, Xujiazhuang is an out-and-out hard bone. However, the He brothers had a large number of men and horses, and every time they bullied the few with more, and the individual combat power was not strong, so they used the tactics of crowds to beat thousands of strong men in Xujiazhuang to defend the fort, and it was unspeakably miserable.
It is worth mentioning that every time they led troops to attack Xujiazhuang, the He brothers came together, without exception.
Although there are a lot of thousands of strong men in Xujiazhuang, and their combat power is not bad, compared with the Gepi Yellow Turban Thieves, who are outnumbered, they are weak and outnumbered. In the repeated wars, Xujiazhuang was on the defensive side, only had the ability to parry, but had no power to counterattack and enterprising.
In fact, before Gepi was occupied by the Yellow Turban Thieves, Xujiazhuang was just a village with hundreds of households, and there were more than 2,000 people in the whole village, which was considered a relatively large village. Because most of the people in the village are people surnamed Xu, and there is a family with quite solid family resources Xu Yuanwai settled here, so it was named "Xujiazhuang". Since He Yi and He Man led the Yellow Turban Thieves to occupy Gepi, many villages within a radius of 100 miles have been ransacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves, but Xujiazhuang was able to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Thieves, so the people of the Ten Miles and Eight Towns dragged their families to Xujiazhuang to escape the robbery of the Yellow Turban Thieves.
Over the past year, the population of Xujiazhuang has increased dramatically, from more than 2,000 to nearly 10,000 people, and the number of strong men in the village has also increased from the initial hundreds of young people surnamed Xu to more than 3,000. Under the leadership of Xu Yuanwai's two sons, the strong men quickly built a fort on the outskirts of Zhuangzi to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves. In the following months, more than 3,000 young people in Xujiazhuang repeatedly defeated the Gepi Yellow Turban thieves, so that the thieves could not break through the defensive fortress of Xujiazhuang, and they were not allowed to enter the door, and they returned repeatedly in vain.
However, due to the long-term attack of the Yellow Turban thieves, the once wealthy Xujiazhuang gradually declined, and the life of the people in the village became increasingly difficult. Nearly 10,000 people live in villages within a radius of several miles, but the grain cultivated is snatched away by the yellow turban thieves, and they can only rely on Xu Yuan's help to survive on weekdays. As the Yellow Turban thieves became more and more rampant and the attacks became more and more frequent, the life of the people of Xujiazhuang became more and more difficult.
At this time, the He brothers led the Yellow Turban thieves to besiege Xujiazhuang again. For the people in the village, this is tantamount to a catastrophe, there is no way to survive, and they are completely desperate.
Obviously, these thieves have already discovered that Xujiazhuang is in a difficult situation and has run out of grain and grass, so this time they came to take advantage of the fire to rob, wanting to kill nearly 10,000 people in the village!
