The dream of a lonely hero

Chen Xin laughed loudly:"You are like Li Weidong, you are so arrogant! In addition to fearing the enemy like a rat, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and preying on the common people, you also have the ability to bully others with big words -"

Yuanda said impatiently:"Second brother! How can this guy be qualified to talk nonsense with you? I'll wait for my eighth brother to take his dog's head." He tapped his feet on the stirrups, danced his four-sided mace, and urged the horse forward to take Li Weidong directly.

Li Weidong was so panicked that he almost fell off his horse. Li Weidong's four pro-camps, Wang Yong, Ding Yong, Luo Yong, and He Yong, bullied the common people. They were as strong as cattle, faced enemies on the battlefield, and were as timid as rats. They usually competed for favors and excluded each other. Ding Yong took advantage of He Yong's unpreparedness and kicked his horse's butt. He Yong couldn't help but rushed forward, clapping his horse and dancing with his spear to fight Yuanda. The battle failed, and He Yong was hit in the left arm by Yuanda's mace and was defeated. Ding Yong was gloating about his misfortune, so Luo Yong whipped his mount behind him. Ding Yong couldn't help but come to Yuanda. Yuanda wielded his mace and attacked Ding Yong. He knocked Ding Yong off his horse with one blow, and then beat Ding Yong's brains to pieces with another blow.

Centipede Mountain won two battles in a row, boosting morale. Zhao Guangyi blurted out:"I didn't expect this grass bandit to be so ferocious!" Dai Xing, one of the"Six Fierce" subordinates, the"Ferocious Wu Ben" with a beautiful beard, was over thirty years old, eight feet tall, with a face as red as gold and three locks. He has a long beard, broad shoulders, and a thick back. He wears a golden helmet and golden armor. His Zaoluo war robe floats behind him. His tiger-headed boots are firmly tied on. He has a yellow dragon horse under his crotch and a flaming spear in his hand. He said:"Your Highness, please rest assured." If you want to raise others' ambitions, let's see Dai Xing capture him." He dismounted his horse and held a flaming spear in his hand. He stabbed Yuanda indiscriminately while looking at him. Yuanda opened his mace to meet him and fought for thirty rounds. Dai Xingli was so powerful that his gun sank, and Yuanda was panting from exhaustion. Chen Xin watched carefully and urgently ordered his minions to ring gold, and Yuanda circled the horses and returned to the formation. Seeing that Yuanda had won two battles in a row, the leader of the Siping Village couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped his horse and attacked Dai Xing with his sword. Zhan Bulianghe was shot to death by Dai Xing. Yang Jian, the leader of Siping Village and the leader of Second Village, dismounted his horse and hit Dai Xing on top of the door with an eight-edged stick in his hand. Dai Xing raised his gun, raised his eight-sided stick, and stabbed him distractedly. Yang Jian couldn't dodge and was stabbed to death. Dai Xing won two battles in a row and was arrogant. Wang Xijie, the leader of the second village in Baihu Mountain,"Kaishan Yaksha", clapped his horse and rushed to Dai Xing. Holding a mountain ax in his hand, he rushed to Dai Xing's top door and struck at it. Dai Xing raised his gun to greet him. The yue comes to the gun stand, and the gun goes to meet the yue. The battle lasts fifty or sixty rounds, and there is no one who is better than the other.

"Silver Halberd Invincible Peach Blossom Little Wenhou" Wang Rong said to Chen Xin:"King Chen! Retrieving Zhao Guangyi's belongings will cost me 60% of Baihu Village! Chen Xin said:"Master Wangzhai!" It's too early to say this now. As long as you make your first contribution, the Sa family will never treat Baihu Village badly."Wang Rong came to the front of the formation on Pegasus and swung his halberd to separate the weapons of Dai Xing and Wang Xijie. Dai Xing and Wang Xijie's arms were numb from the shock. Wang Rong said:"You all go back to your own formation. The Sa family wants to challenge Zhao Guangyi's mob alone."Dai Xing and Wang Xijie returned to the formation respectively.

"Shannan Five Tigers" Zeng Yangang,"Slim-faced Tiger","Jade-faced Tiger" Ding Yanqiang,"White-fronted Tiger" Bai Yanwang,"Golden-haired Tiger" Li Yanchang, and"Diao-Eye Tiger" Deng Yanfei saw the"Five Brave" Dai Xing win two consecutive battles. Everyone was eager to give it a try. Deng Yanfei, the"eye-catching tiger", saw a pretty boy coming to the enemy camp, and he was secretly happy: It was his chance to show his face. How could this pretty boy withstand his own blow? He was really soft and bullied. Deng Yanfei held it up With nine ears and eight rings, Taiyin Sword, he was so happy that he clapped the horse forward, raised the knife and cut. Wang Rong held the halberd and knocked it. With a"clang", the big knife in Deng Yanfei's hand was knocked away, and Wang Rong stabbed him under the horse with a halberd."Bai." Bai Yanwang, the Ehu, and Li Yanchang, the Golden-haired Huli, wielded their spears and used their sticks to mount their horses, and directly attacked Wang Rong. The two horses crossed each other, and there was no three-way collision. They were stabbed under the horses one by one by Wang Rong's halberd.

Zhao Guangyi's subordinates Fu Qian, one of the"Five Braves" and a"valiant soldier", is nearly thirty years old, more than eight feet tall, with a heavy back and waist, a fat head and big ears, a smoky yellow face, small eyes, and a short nose. He sneered:"Hey! 'Shannan Tiger' drinks and eats meat and strolls around Liuxiang without any ambiguity! When you get to the battlefield, you will become a"dead tiger""

""Slim-faced Tiger" Zeng Yan just saw the tragic deaths of his three brothers and was filled with grief. Hearing Fu Qian's ridicule, he became furious and said:"Fu Qian is so talented!" My brother died in battle with honor, unlike you who fear the enemy like a rat!"

Fu Qian said:"Why are you trying to show off your power of words? I have the ability to avenge your brother who died in battle with great honor! Don’t you just want brothers who die together? Go!

Zeng Yangang was so angry that his eyes were about to burst out, and he said,"Fu Ganpo is the best!" After Zeng Mou has taken revenge, I will settle the score with you again! He was about to go into battle as he rode his horse. He was grabbed by"Jade Faced Tiger" Ding Yanqiang and whispered:"Third brother!" A good man won't get angry with this guy unless he suffers the immediate loss."He said to Fu Qian:"How dare I, the 'Seven Tigers of Nanshan', compare with your 'Five Braves of the Royal Palace'? I dare not take this credit from General Fu."

Fu Qian said:"It's okay if you know and don't dare!"Say, he galloped his horse and straightened his spear to attack Wang Rong. The battle failed, and he was stabbed in the thigh by Wang Rong. He returned in defeat.

Zhou Ying, one of the"Six Fierce" under Zhao Guangyi, had a face as bright as silver. Pan, with straight features, white horse and silver spear, leaping horse and spear, went out to fight Wang Rong, fought to the sixth or seventh round, could not resist and was defeated. One of the"Five Braves","Hiao Yong Jun Ke" You Zhi Ke escorted Yamen Cen Chongxin, his face was earth-colored , with thick eyebrows like charcoal, broad shoulders and round waist; he moved his horse on his crotch, and danced with his hand to chop the mountain knife with a golden back. He forced Wang Rong to chop at the head of the building. Wang Rong raised the halberd, opened the knife, twisted the halberd and stabbed, killing each other back and forth. One place. After fighting for more than ten rounds, Cen Chongxin gradually became exhausted. Shang Feng, the"yongyongjungu", had a face as white as paper and a skinny body. He held a Yinfeng tiger-head spear and urged his horse to help in the battle. In a double battle, Wang Rong was still defeated after more than ten rounds. Sang Zan, one of the"Five Braves" and"the brave soldier", is tall and slender, with a pale face, toad eyes, and a flat nose. He is about thirty years old. They came to attack Wang Rong from both sides. The three Martin characters fought each other. When the fight reached 20, there was no difference between the superior and the inferior.

Zhao Guangyi sighed to himself:"There is such a person in the grass!"Thinking: The enemy is outnumbered and we are few. If the mob comes to cover up and kill them, how can Li Weidong's 500 soldiers and the palace's entourage resist them? It is better to defeat the grass bandits first and then worry about it when facing the battle. Follow the order"Cao Meng Wu Ben""Wang Neng came out of the battle.

Wang Neng urged his horse to hold up the mourning halberd and came to the front of the battle. Chen Xin suddenly sat down on his horse, danced the thirteen-section gourd whip, intercepted Wang Neng and fought. The battle lasted for five or six rounds, and Wang Neng was defeated by Chen Xin. The whip hit the heart guard, he held the saddle and vomited blood, and he turned his horse and ran away. Chen Xin was chasing after him. Zhang Xu, the"Ferocious Bird of Prey" in Zhao Guangyi's formation, suddenly dismounted from his horse, holding a bronze fork in his hand, and stopped Chen Xin from striking him in the face. Chen Xin opened the bronze fork with his left whip, and quickly swept Zhang Xu's temple with the"Danfeng Chaoyang" move with his right whip. Zhang Xu hurriedly shrank his head, and his helmet was knocked off with a"pop" sound, which made his ears ring and dizzy, and his legs clamped tightly on the horse. Belly, the war horse ran back to the formation. Zhao Guangyi's"fierce and fierce warrior" Lu Bin raised his gun and rode his horse directly to capture Chen Xin. The two horses met and their weapons were raised simultaneously. The two generals engaged in the seventh or eighth round, and Lu Bin Bin was hit on the shoulder by Chen Xin's whip, so he turned his horse's head back, looked at the formation and then left. Looking at Cen Chongxin, Shang Feng, and Sang Zan fighting Wang Rong, they could only parry but not fight back. Chen Xin waved the steel whip, He shouted:"Brothers, charge! Capture Zhao Guangyi alive and Li Weidong alive."

The green forest leaders of the Three Mountains and Eighteen Villages led their minions with weapons raised, and rushed towards Zhao Guangyi's army formation with fierce force. Li Weidong and Zhao Guangyi's left and right generals were unable to withstand them. Zhao Guangyi and Li Weidong turned around and fled in panic. Countless followers and soldiers abandoned their guns and dropped their helmets. The crowds surged like a tide, and the horses trampled each other like a landslide.

Chen Xin followed Zhao Guangyi with his horse and whip. Zeng Yangang, the"thin-faced tiger" under Zhao Guangyi, rode his horse and raised his gun to stop Chen Xin from fighting.. Chen Xin held a steel whip and danced left and right. He was very brave in killing. He killed Zeng Yangang in just three rounds. Chen Xin shouted:"The one who captures Zhao Guangyi alive is worth a hundred taels of gold. The one wearing the purple robe is Zhao Guangyi. Stop shouting." He ran away!"After saying that, he beat the horse like flying and chased Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi hurriedly took off his official robe, raised his whip and drove the horse, running desperately, but was caught up by Chen Xin. Zhang Ning, the"fierce warrior" driven by Zhao Guangyi, turned the horse's head and raised his hand Holding the Elephant Trunk Ancient Moon Sword, he faced Chen Xin. The two fought for five or six rounds, and the green forest leaders of the Three Mountains and Eighteen Villages and their minions arrived. Zhang Ning turned his horse and fled. Chen Xin led the crowd to continue the pursuit, chasing forty or fifty people. They were about to reach Zhangzhou City. Chen Xin reined in his horse, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot Zhao Guangyi in the shoulder. Zhao Guangyi felt severe pain and urged his horse. After running for more than thirty miles, he came to the foot of Zhangzhou City. The city gate was closed. After waiting for a while, Li Weidong's pro-camp Wang Yong, Luo Yong, He Yong and Zhao Guangyi's entourage arrived. Wang Yong yelled at the city tower:"Damn beasts are blind! Don’t you even recognize the flag of Xingzhou Fangzhen? Quickly open the door, slow down and chop off Yao Shu and Hongbao's pig heads!"

Yao Shu, the judge of Zhangzhou (the ineffective suppression of the bandits resulted in all Zhangzhou thieves being demoted to the rank of judge) and Hongbao, the governor of Zhangzhou, had already peeked at the crenellations of the city tower. They recognized Li Weidong, the governor of Anguo, and hurriedly ordered the city gate guards to open the city gate and fall. The suspension bridge and the city tower that were so frightened that they climbed down were greeted with caution.

Zhao Guangyi and his entourage hurriedly entered the city gate. Wang Yong scolded the governor Hongbao:"Hongbao is a bastard! If you don't close the city gate quickly, will you lure thieves into the city?"

Hongbao hurriedly ordered his soldiers to close the city gate.

Wang Yong said:"Hongbao is a talented person! The thief is coming, so you can guard the city gate. If there is any loss of your three clans!"

Hongbao promised and left. Zhangzhou judge Yao Shu hurriedly welcomed Zhao Guangyi and his party into the state government office.

Chen Xin led the leaders of the three mountains and eighteen villages and his minions to chase the city. Seeing that the city gate was closed, he ordered the Zhangzhou city to be surrounded.. Then he led the leaders of each village to mobilize eight men and horses from the village to Zhangzhou City. In this battle,"Xiao Meng Shang competed with Bian Que" Chen Xin won a great victory, and robbed a lot of horses, equipment, and armor.

The palace personally followed Yangmao, Under the guidance of the prefectural yamen servant, Cheng De, the doctor of the royal palace, hurriedly helped Zhao Guangyi into the back hall and sat down. Zhao Guangyi's face was bloodless and he was sweating profusely; his left arm and sleeves were all red with blood and his limbs were cold. Cheng De quickly treated Zhao Guangyi's arrow wounds..

Two days later, Zhao Guangyi's injuries improved under the careful treatment of medical doctor Cheng De. Zhao Guangyi sat down in the hall, with civil and military officials from the royal palace and the state government arranged on both sides, and ordered the palace chief Shi Jiasu to report the losses after the battle at Centipede Mountain.

Jia Su said:"Report to Your Highness! The palace attendants include Zeng Yangang, the slim-faced tiger, Deng Yanfei, the eye-catching tiger, Bai Yanwang, the white-fronted tiger, and Li Yanchang, the golden-haired tiger.——"

Chai Yuxi, the palace's Sima, winked at Jia Su anxiously, but when he ignored him, he kept coughing."Ahem!"

Jia Su said,"Chai Sima is not feeling well, so he went back to rest."

Chai Yuxi hesitated and said,"Ah - ah, no - - No discomfort."

Zhao Guangyi knew his intention and said:"Yuxi! The solitary king's injury has long been healed, so I asked Juping to report back."

Chai Yuxi said:"Your Highness! I can't report back to Your Highness that day, but today?"

Zhao Guangyi said anxiously:" How could the lonely king not know Yuxi’s intentions! What time is it now? Doesn’t Yuxi not know that Zhangzhou is just a fifth-class state with simple city walls, weak troops, and danger? If you don’t make plans early, the consequences can be imagined."

Chai Yuxi cried and said:"Although I am stupid, I know how powerful it is, and I also know that His Highness's body is the most important thing."

Zhao Guangyi said:"It doesn't matter, Ju Ping continues."

Jia Su said:"Four of the royal family's entourage died and four were injured. Zeng Yangang, 'Diao' Deng Yanfei of the Eye-catching Tiger, Bai Yanwang of the White-fronted Tiger, and Li Yanchang of the Golden-haired Tiger were killed, Wang Neng of the Cao Meng Wu Ben, Zhang Xu of the Predator Meng Wu Ben, Lu Bin of the Fierce Meng Wu Ben, Jian Yong's military guest Fu Gan was still injured, and half of the thirty followers of the palace were lost; Anguo Fangzhen died and one was injured, Ding Yong was killed in battle, and He Yong was disabled, leaving only more than 200 of the 500 soldiers; Anguo Jiedu Li Weidong was captured by the grass bandits. His Royal Highness's appointment as the magistrate of Zhangzhou and the bronze seal of"Liangcheng County King" were also snatched by the thieves. Now Zhangzhou is surrounded by grass bandits, and they claim: One hundred thousand coins are needed, otherwise they will be killed after breaking the city. No chickens or dogs left behind."

Zhao Guangyi's face turned livid with anger and his teeth clenched. There was no sound in the entire lobby. After a moment of silence, Zhao Guangyi finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and slapped the case, saying angrily:"Chen Xin, the leader of thieves! Zhao Guangmei bullied the Gu family. You come to bully the Gu family too. You will be sure when the Gu family is captured alive." I'm going to peel off your skin!" The shock caused unbearable pain all over my arm. I was afraid that my subordinates would notice it, so I endured it, but the cold sweat on my forehead couldn't help but fall.

Chai Yuxi came out of the queue and said:"Your Highness, please calm down! They are just grass bandits, not worth getting angry at. Your Highness sent a warrior to break out of the siege and go to Weibo Fan Town to ask for reinforcements to rush to Zhangzhou. King Wei (Fu Yanqing, Zhao Guangyi's father-in-law), the old master of the Five Dynasties Yuan Dynasty, was in charge. Wei Bo Tianxiong's army has tens of thousands of elite troops, and with only a thousand troops, he can wipe out the grass bandits in Centipede Mountain in one fell swoop."

Chai Yuxi's plan Zhao Guangyi certainly thought: He must not create this problem for Lao Taishan. If Lao Taishan sends troops, he can break the siege of Zhangzhou, and annihilating Centipede Mountain in one fell swoop is not a problem; but without an official decree, as the commander of a major military town, leaving the floodplain area privately is a rebellion! Not only should they be executed according to the law, but they would also harm their relatives. How could Fangjun Wang Zhao Guangmei take it lightly? He must be the first to bear the brunt. If you are connected with the rebellion, then don't think about turning over.

Zhao Guangyi was inconvenient to explain clearly and said:"The King of Wei, King Zuotian, and Marquis Suting are pacifying the three towns. They are responsible for stabilizing half of the sky in the north. How can they have time to rescue Zhangzhou?"

All the officials were silent.

Zhao Guangyi said:"All the ministers are working together to defend Zhangzhou and look for opportunities to wipe out the centipede mountain bandits."

All the officials murmured in their hearts: It is true to defend Zhangzhou. Whether it can be defended or not, God knows! 'Suppressing the bandits', just being killed by the bandits and throwing away their helmets and armors, this is pure fantasy! I just muttered in my heart, who dares to say it out loud.

Jia Su, the long history official, was indeed a real person, and asked:"How can you keep this Zhangzhou governor?"

Zhao Guangyi said:"Don't worry about peace! I have my own clever plan to disperse the government." All the officials withdrew from the hall one after another.

Zhao Guangyi got up and walked into the back hall, followed by Jia Su.

Jia Su was very interested and asked:"What is your highness's clever plan?"

Zhao Guangyi looked unhappy and said:"Juping! Zhangzhou City is trembling, isn't it?"

Jia Su said:"It's absolutely true, the mountain rain is about to come, the wind fills the building, and the black clouds The city is about to be destroyed."

Zhao Guangyi said:"It's not that Zhangzhou City is trembling, but your heart is trembling. The hearts of everyone in Zhangzhou City are trembling! This is far more terrifying than the troops approaching the city and approaching the trench!"

Jia Su was suddenly enlightened and said:"I am an idiot! Stabilizing people's hearts is far more important than holding on to Zhangzhou City at the moment. Your Highness is unruffled in the face of battle. He is truly a commander! I can understand even the slightest bit!"

Zhao Guangyi sat down in the back hall and said, Medical doctor Cheng De rushed to change his dressing. Zhao Guangyi cried out in pain.

Yang Mao blamed Cheng De and said:"Cheng De! Why is it that there is no depth in the attack, causing His Highness such pain?"

Cheng De hurriedly knelt down and said:"You deserve to die! Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Yang Mao said:"Cheng De is really ' A full cow's belly - a straw bag! His Highness's arrow wound has been treated for many days, but it has not recovered yet."

Jia Su said:"When Yang Mao waits for Cheng Medical to change the medicine for His Highness, is it too late to blame him again?"

Yang Mao accompanied him. With a smile on his face, he said:"That's what Jia Changshi taught. What are you waiting for, Cheng De? Quickly change His Highness's dressing."

Cheng De got up and carefully changed Zhao Guangyi's dressing. Yang Mao waited diligently and cautiously on his side, gently wiping the sweat from Zhao Guangyi's face. Cheng De finished changing Zhao Guangyi's dressing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and stepped back carefully.

Yang Mao presented Zhao Guangyi with a cup of tea and said,"This tea was prescribed by Cheng De. It is said to be effective in relieving pain. Please use it slowly, Your Highness."

Zhao Guangyi frowned, endured the pain, took the tea and drank it in one gulp. He thought for a moment and said :"Juping, it was passed down from the solitary family: Prince Sima Chai Yuxi, Zhangzhou judge Yao Shu, Zhangzhou governor Hongbao, Anguofan town pro-camp Wang Yong, and Luo Yong led their subordinates to defend Zhangzhou with all their wisdom and strength. Three days later, the free soldiers from heaven Surrender and wipe out the bandits' nest in one fell swoop. In this way, we will issue a notice to calm the people and post it throughout the city."

Jia Su accepted the promise and retreated.

Zhao Guangyi walked in the hall with a frown on his face. Yang Mao stood cautiously at the side, waiting for instructions at any time.
