The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Wu and Chen Dao led the crowd to the top of the mountain one after another.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ

There were not many guards on the top of the mountain. There were only one or two hundred people. There were only a few people. They were suddenly attacked. They were defeated with little resistance and fled in all directions. Chen Wu and Chen Dao did not pursue the fleeing guards. After dispersing them, they turned to the mountain road to attack.

It was late at night, although there was a bright moon hanging high, but under the shadow of the mountain wall, the mountain road was quite dark, and the guards could not understand the situation. Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, He Yi, Li Xiang, Cheng Jia, Xin Ai and others below were ordered by Xunzhen's army and took the opportunity to attack. They attacked from top to bottom, and the guards under Huang Beard had no way to retreat, panicked and trampled on each other.

In the middle of the night, the mountains were quiet, and the sound of the collapse and killing spread far and wide with the wind, and could be heard ten or twenty miles away.

Since Xun Zhen led his troops into the mountains, he has been riding along the mountain roads for nearly 2,000 steps, with great momentum. The bandits in the mountains along the way and the bandits in the mountains near Luling have long been known. The righteous members of Xun Zhen's headquarters are all veterans of hundreds of battles. The sound of the attack and battle spread far and wide, which made many thieves feel terrified. Now suddenly I hear the chaos in Luling, the cheers of Han soldiers chasing and killing the mountains and the mountains, the birds flying because of it, tigers and leopards fleeing for it, Xun Zhen The movement of the Ministry's pursuit and killing resounded through the mountains and forests, and the nearby bandits heard it from a distance, and became more and more terrified.

There are thousands of people in the Huangbeard Department, all of them are old soldiers of the Yellow Turban who have experienced the battle of Julu, and they have the advantage of defending the mountain, but they were defeated after only a little more than a day under the fierce attack of Xun Zhenbu. With Huang Beard's strength, he was not Xun Zhen's rival, not to mention these small bandits in the mountains around Zhou. With Huang Yan's defeat, these bandits had to think carefully about their way out.

On the Luling Mountain Road, Jiang Qin, Liu Deng and others, along with Chen Wu and Chen Dao, attacked on both sides, and the Huangbeards were defeated.

The mountain road is narrow, which is an advantage for the defending side when defending the mountain, but a fatal disadvantage for the defending side when it is defeated.

On the mountain and on both sides of the mountainside, there was no way for the yellow beard to escape. Except for a few brave and desperate people who risked their lives to break up or down, the rest either trampled on each other and died, or put down their weapons and surrendered on the ground.

Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, etc. took turns to go into battle and attacked fiercely for more than a day. Only then did they finally break the last barrier of the guards because of the sudden arrival of Chen Wu and Chen Dao, and won the victory. Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, and others all held anger and resentment after fighting hard for a long time, regardless of whether the guards in front of them surrendered or not.

It was not until Xun Zhen rushed to the battlefield and found that the situation was not right, and hurriedly issued a military order, which stopped this one-sided massacre.

Under the guard of Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou, etc., Xun Zhen climbed the last barrier of the guards.

The front and rear of the barrier were filled with the dead bodies of enemy and allied soldiers, and the corpses were piled up even higher than the barrier. At this time, "blood flow into a river" is no longer an adjective, but a real river of blood flow. There are mountain walls on both sides of the mountain road. The accumulated blood water can only flow downward. The soldiers of righteousness came up from the bottom, and everyone's black lacquer shoes and trousers were soaked with blood.

Xun You, Handan Rong, and Xuan Kang also followed Xun Zhen to the barrier. To be precise, what they climbed was not a barrier. The barrier was not wide enough to accommodate so many people standing side by side.

In the deep winter night, the mountain moon hangs in the west and sheds its brilliance. Xun Zhen looked up on the mountain road. Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, etc., and Chen Wu and Chen arrived at the division. They were assigning people to control the soldiers. Looking back, under the barrier, a group of soldiers from righteousness were advancing in an orderly manner, taking over. battlefield.

Handan Rong looked at the corpses and rivers of blood on the mountain road, and sighed: "'The soldiers are like the city, and the people are dead like the forest.' In the past, the Yellow Turbans attacked Handan several times. The first battle was far less dangerous than it is today. Now I know what a battle is!"

When Xun Zhen saw that Cen Rong did not come up with Handan Rong and others, he stood alone on the mountain road with a face that could not bear it.

Xun Zhenyin smiled and said, "Pity the benevolent. Shujing, Qing is a benevolent person."

Handan Rong was sturdy, disapproving, and said: "Xiaoren is the thief of Daren. The heart of compassion is common to all people, but if the thieves are not attacked because of compassion, then more people will suffer."

Cen Yan sighed and wanted to say something, but he was clumsy and didn't know what to say, so in the end he just said, "The master is right."

While everyone was talking, several people came down from the mountain and came to the fortress.

Xun Zhen looked at him and saw that the leader was Li Xiang, and two or three soldiers led one behind him. , it is not the yellow beard!

Li Xiang bowed down and said, "The villain has captured the yellow beard and dedicated it to the lieutenant!"

Xun Zhen jumped off the base, came to Li Xiang, helped him up, turned to look at Huang Beard, looked up and down, looked back at Xun You, Handan Rong, Xuan Kang, and Cen Rong who were following, and smiled: "Gongda, uncle Ye, how long has it been since I raised troops to attack the Yellow Turbans until now?"

Xuankang replied: "It was also when the lieutenant started his army, and he fought such hard battles when he attacked Bo Cai and He Man alone."

Xun Zhen turned around and looked at Huangbeard up and down again.

Huang Yan was pinned down by two soldiers, knelt on the ground, lowered his head dejectedly, not daring to meet Xun Zhen's gaze.

Seeing that Xun Zhen only looked at Huang Beard but did not speak, Xun You guessed his thoughts and said, "Zhenzhi must be hesitating whether to recruit this person or not."

There are two advantages to recruiting the yellow beard.

On the one hand, the bandits in Zhao State can know that Xun Zhen is not a person who kills indiscriminately, as long as they surrender, they will have a way to survive. Second, in the battle of Luling today, although Xun Zhen's clan won a great victory, Huang Beard's troops were not completely wiped out. After Chen Dao's defeat, about a hundred people fled to the mountains and forests. There are not many defeated soldiers who escaped, but there are not many. It is a trouble to keep them. If Huang Beard is recruited, they may be able to escape. The pawns were also recruited to surrender.

But then again, recruiting Huangbeard has its disadvantages.

The downside is: Huang Yan is the rest of the Yellow Turbans, not to mention whether he is willing to surrender, he is surrendering, and he is not sure of his loyalty.

There are pros and cons to recruiting and surrendering the yellow beard. In contrast, the pros outweigh the cons.

First of all, you can't give up those two benefits because you are not sure of Huang Beard's loyalty; secondly, even if Huang Beard surrenders and revolts, it is expected that he will not do anything.

Based on what Xun You knew about Xun Zhen, before Xun Zhen made a decision, Xun You had already guessed: "Zhen Zhi is able to tolerate people and dare to employ people, even He Yi and Li Xiang who once led tens of thousands of people and horses to the Yellow Turbans surrendered. The generals can accept them and entrust them with military power, and I think they can also accept this yellow beard."

As expected by Xun You, after a brief hesitation, Xun Zhen decided to surrender Huang Beard.

He took two steps forward, picked up Huangbeard, patted his arm, looked into his eyes, and said with a smile: "In the battle at Julu, you will lose and I will win, and in the battle at Luling today, you will lose and I will win again. , do you want to fight a third battle?"

Huang Yan is not like Zuo Xu. He has no personal enmity with Xun Zhen, and although he believes in the Yellow Turban Dao, he is not a staunch believer. Between life and death and belief, of course he would not choose belief, and was captured by Li Xiang and brought to see him. In the time of Xun Zhen, he was uneasy and feared that he would be killed by Xun Zhen. At this time, when Xun Zhen laughed, it seemed that he did not intend to kill him.

"Haha, I don't need you to be intimidated. I want you to surrender to me.... Jun, beard and beard is beautiful, brave and talented, she is a beautiful woman, how can I be a thief? Now that I have been defeated and captured by me, would you like to surrender?"

Huang Yan bowed to the ground, bowed his head and said, "I would like to surrender to the general."

"I'm not a general, Lieutenant Er of Zhao Jun." Xun Zhen laughed happily and lifted Huang Beard up again.

The yellow beard is not low in height and has a majestic figure.

Xun Zhen's gaze stopped on his beard, he touched it, smiled at Gu Xunyou, Handan Rong and the others, and said, "It's really beautiful!" Ling Xuankang found a towel and put it on himself. Huangbeard's messy hair was tied up, wrapped in a towel, and he wiped the blood on his face with his own sleeves, smiled and said to him, "I have a lot of majestic and strong warriors, handsome and handsome men. There are also quite a few, and those with such beautiful beards and beards are the only ones whose ears are yours! When I go back to Handan, I will give you a gift bag, especially for the beautiful beards of the prosperous king.”

As his status rose and more and more talents were recruited, Xun Zhen became more mature in accepting people. "Trust with confidence" is almost natural. He and Huang Beard met for the first time. Not long ago, the two of them were both enemies and us, but judging from his words and actions towards Huang Beard, he seemed to be an old acquaintance.

His gracious, casual attitude was immediate and immediate.

Because Huang Yan didn't know his personality and attitude, although he gave it to him, he was still a little uneasy. Now he said a few words and made a few actions. It is also very stable.

As soon as Huang Beard descended, things would be easier to handle. With him coming forward, even those who were unwilling in the descendants would no longer act stupidly.

Xun Zhen instructed Xia Houlan to write down Li Xiang's credit for capturing Huang Beard, and then ordered Li Xiang to take Huang Beard to the mountain road to appease the soldiers. Xia Houlan was the military judge of Cheng Jia and Chen Wu, and he was always on the front line. , but although he is good at shè, his melee combat ability is not outstanding, so he has not been in battle.

Cleaning the battlefield, gathering soldiers, pacifying soldiers, etc. were carried out in an orderly manner. At this moment, a few people carried a person down the mountain road and came to Xun Zhen. These people carried the person. Put it on the ground, kneel on the ground, kowtow and weep, and say, "Report to Lieutenant, He Jun was injured by the enemy when he was chasing the enemy."

Xun Zhen turned to look at the man who was put on the ground, and saw that it was He Yi, and the soldiers who brought him were all the old soldiers who surrendered with He Yi.

Xun Zhen hurriedly approached and crouched beside He Yi, only to see that He Yi's abdomen was severely wounded, probably by the ring-head knife, the entire abdomen was cut open, blood stained his clothes and armor, and his intestines were exposed. outer.

Xun Zhen was taken aback. He didn't expect that He Yi was not injured when attacking the mountain, but suffered such heavy injuries while chasing the enemy. With the current medical methods he knew, such a serious injury could not be saved.

He Yi's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, she barely opened her eyes, and struggled to remember to salute.

Xun Zhen held him down and said, "Lie down, lie down!" She turned her head and called out to Xuan Kang, "Come and find the doctor who is accompanying the army!"

He Yi said weakly: "Lieutenant, you don't need to look for it. I knew that I was injured, so even if I found a sore doctor, it would not be able to cure it. I knew that my life would be soon, so I ordered my subordinates to carry me to see the lieutenant, just for the sake of There are a few things I would like to say to the lieutenant."

"Please tell me."

"Yi made a mistake in his early years. He passed the Yellow Turban and was fortunate enough to meet the lieutenant before he was reborn. After the lieutenant came to Zhao, there were many thieves in the Zhao country. , but I didn't expect to be injured by this injury only after hitting Zuo Xu and Huang Yan. I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve the lieutenant again in the future. I deeply regret it! Before I die, I have something I want to entrust to the lieutenant."

"I will raise your wife!"

"It's not my wife or son that I want to entrust to the lieutenant."

"what is that?"

"When I came down from me to lieutenant, most of the old yellow turban soldiers were from the land of ceremonies and old friends. I knew the lieutenant was generous and wanted to entrust them to the lieutenant."

This was because He Yi felt that it was difficult to live. He was worried about the villagers and old friends who followed him to surrender to Xun Zhen, and was afraid that Xun Zhen would not treat them kindly, so he begged on his deathbed. Although He Yi had surrendered to Xun Zhen a little bit, but Xun Zhen didn't know him very well. Hearing his dying words at this time, he was stunned and said, "You are a man of love, but I am not one. People who do not value righteousness. Runan and Yingchuan are in the same prefecture. Your villagers are my villagers, and your old friends are my old friends. Please rest assured, I will treat them. Treat me like an old man from Xixiang."

He Yi knew that Xun Zhen was a man of great promise, and after hearing what he said, he felt relieved, with a smile on his face, took a few breaths, and said to the people who brought him: "There are many thieves in Zhao County, and the world is uneasy. This is the time when this man uses martial arts. The lieutenant is a wise man, as long as you do your best for the lieutenant, your fame and wealth will be indispensable in the future."

Those people fell down in mourning and wept silently.

Suddenly one person said, "Ah, why did you get so badly injured? Lieutenant, if you can get him down the mountain quickly, maybe you can save him."

Xun Zhen raised her head and saw that it was Chen Wu and Chen Da who had come, but it was Chen Wu who spoke.

"Can you save me?"

Chen Wu first fought hard for a day, then climbed the mountain in the middle of the night, and chased and killed the guards for a long time. Although his physical strength was strong, he was not able to support himself. His face was covered in sweat, and his face was stained with blood. With a big face, he leaned on a spear, wiped his sweat, and said, "Oh, yes, the lieutenant doesn't know, a genius doctor came to my county a few days ago. If he can cut the intestines and sew the abdomen, the doctor may not be able to treat such a serious injury, but he will definitely be able to treat it.”
