Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 433 Xin Xingzong's Version of Yang Liulang

Why did Xin Xingzong come back early?Originally, he planned to go to see Tong Guan after he came back to bind his wounds, but Tong Guan came first, which saved him energy, so he gathered up his strength and cried a lot, and then he talked about the "cause and effect" of this battle——

"Marshal Rong Feng, early this morning Yang Weizhong and I led our troops to attack Hangzhou. When we reached the foot of Linping Mountain, to rebels blocked our way. The leader of the army was Fang La's puppet Marshal Shi Bao."

"My brother fought against him. It was my second brother who beheaded one of his generals. Shi Bao went out in person. This man is the strongest among thieves. He beheaded three of my brothers..."

Speaking of this, the fellow wept again and again, sucking his nose and continued: "The last general saw that he was powerful, so he used a trick to lure the enemy. As expected, the fellow came to chase him, and the late general commanded the crossbowmen to shoot him in formation. The rebels were in chaos. The last general sent troops to counterattack. At this time, Liu Guangshi and Liu brothers led more than cavalry, and our two sides joined forces to kill the rebels and flee all over the mountains and plains."

Xin Xingzong's face showed resentment, and his voice became louder: "The last general wanted to kill more bandits, so he asked General Yang to command the brigade. The last general and his second brother personally led 2000 people, interspersed behind the bandits, and sealed them off. Stopping him on his way back to the city, he thought that the bandit soldiers would be annihilated when they joined forces. Unexpectedly, at this time, Senior Brother Liu collected the cavalry to watch the battle, and Old General Yang also marched slowly. The sealed off The thieves were eager to flee for their lives and attacked the last general's position."

"Oh!" Tong Guan looked solemn, and pointed him out: "There is a saying in the art of war: return to the teacher and don't stop him. You only know how to make meritorious deeds, and his life is blocked by you. Why don't you try your best? Since you have few soldiers, at that time Then we should release a small path to distribute the 2000 people around. Seeing his life, he just ran for his life, and you led the soldiers and horses to repair on both sides.

Xin Xingzong's tears were not dry yet, but at this moment they burst into tears, and he cried loudly: "The last general has not listened to the commander's teachings, he is young and has little knowledge, so he is defeated! How can the last general have such a plan as the commander? Blindly fight with all your might. Unexpectedly, at this time, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared from behind, claiming to be Liangshan bandits, and came to help Fang La."

"Liangshan thief?" Tong Guan was startled, and said seriously: "This group of thieves, most of them are former officials and generals, but they should not be underestimated."

Xin Xingzong cried even more sadly: "The commander-in-chief sees thousands of miles away! His group is more powerful than the southern thieves. They attack back and forth, and the formation collapses at the sight. The two brothers at the end struggled to maintain it. Unexpectedly, how many of them are capable?" In the fight, the second brother was killed by a man with a three-pointed knife, and the last general was stabbed by a man with a spear, so he fought bravely and killed several of his leaders and escaped with his life."

Tong Guan's white eyebrows were tightly frowned: "Why didn't Yang Weizhong come to help? If the Liangshan group came to the south of the Yangtze River, there would be countless prefectures along the way, and they would not be able to go with a large army. They could only be a partial division. Your Xihe soldiers have soldiers. , are you afraid of him?"

Xin Xingzong shook his head and cried, "When the final general fought his way out of the siege, General Yang was still in formation two miles away. The final general was going to join him, but he bled so much that he passed out. Unexpectedly, the horse knew the way. , When I woke up, I was already at the base of the city, and I saw the commander-in-chief's flag, so I hurried to see him. I just ask the commander-in-chief to give me a soldier and horse, and let me rescue General Yang!"

After hearing this, Tong Guan sneered again and again: "This guy delayed the military plane and was afraid of the battle. It's a shame that you still wanted to save him! It's just too late, and the urgent report has just been sent. It's a big defeat. Yang Weizhong and Liu Guangshi is on his way back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a report came from the military academy, and Liu Guangshi had led his troops back.

Tong Guan called to pass in, and not long after, Liu Guangshi entered the tent with his head held high and his chest held high. When he saw Xin Xingzong, he couldn't help being stunned: "Brother Xin, are you still alive?"

He saw Tang Bin poke Xin Xingzong off the horse from a distance, but he didn't see the scene of Xin Xingzong getting up and fleeing into the infantry.

Why did Tang Bin scare him away with more than a hundred bows and horses?Insufficient courage is only one of them, the main reason is seeing Xin Xingzong being beheaded, so that he suddenly realized the wise saying "a son of a thousand gold can't sit down", so he decisively turned in.

Tong Guan knew that the two of them had always been at odds, and after hearing this sentence, he immediately believed in Xin Xingzong's previous words.

Xin Xingzong struggled to get up, wiped away his tears, and said lightly: "Blessed by the sage, the commander-in-chief Huwei, Xin was lucky enough to survive, otherwise, wouldn't my generation of the Xin family die? It was just that he bled and fainted for a while, and was carried by a war horse." back here."

These words were quite tragic, Tong Guan sighed secretly, looked at Xin Xingzong's pale face, and decided to not pursue Xin Xingzong's responsibility for this defeat.Shaking his head, he called for a doctor to re-bandage his injury.

Turning to Liu Guangshi, he said, "Let's hear how you fought this battle."

Liu Guangshi straightened his back, posed in the posture of an iron-blooded warrior, clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the commander, the last general was ordered to lead the cavalry to join the Xihe soldiers, and hurried all the way to the bottom of a small mountain. The soldiers are fighting with tens of thousands of rebels, and the last general immediately leads the troops to attack and cut the enemy's formation, causing the rebels to collapse. You know, commander, that Brother Xin is a man with a small mind. The last general sees that the overall situation is settled, so he retreats Go to the side and let him Xihe Bing go to complete the work."

What he said is slightly different from Xin Xingzong. Xin Xingzong said that he had already won when the cavalry arrived, but Liu Guangshi said that he won when he came. Without going into details, he asked: "Then how did you defeat it again?"

Liu Guangshi suddenly showed a sad, indignant and helpless expression: "At that time, brother Xin led a group of troops and interspersed to block the rear of the rebels. A strong army came out from behind my brother, killed his second son, and stabbed brother Xin. I also said that he was dead, so I wanted to avenge him. Being blocked behind the formation, the newcomer fought with old general Yang and defeated him in one fell swoop. I saw that his army was defeated like a mountain, so I was afraid of disrupting my cavalry, so I led most of my troops to retreat first, and ordered my fierce general 'Yasha' 'Wang De divided his troops to rescue General Yang."

Right!
Tong Guan nodded, and said bitterly: "Yang Weizhong is an idiot, fighting for half his life, the older he is, the more useless he is!"

At this time, the military academy came to report, and Yang Weizhong packed up more than remnants of the army, withdrew to Chongde County, and asked to see Tong Guan.

Tong Guan said angrily: "He is a defeated general, what face does he have to come to see this commander? If Liu Guangshi hadn't sent someone to save him, his old life would have been given away long ago! I didn't see him, so I went to pick him up Yijia, imprisoned in the camp, and let the officials personally send him out when the squadron returns to the court in the future."

A group of wolves and tigers led the military academy to lead out. Yang Weizhong, dressed in dust, waited respectfully outside the camp.

Wang De was baffled, and when Liu Guangshi returned to the base camp, he asked Liu Guangshi to help him and pleaded with Tong Guan: "If it wasn't for Xin Xing Zonglang's battle, how could there be such a defeat? Yang Weizhong is a veteran in the army. Falling on his head?"

But Liu Guangshi pointed his nose and scolded him: "I'm afraid you have lost your mind, Yasha? Plead for him? He, Yang Weizhong, is also the leader of the Xihe army. Now he has suffered a big defeat. Why is he not responsible? You also Don't compare with Xin Xingzong, four of the five wastes of his Xin family died, even if the officials knew about it, they would praise him for his loyalty! Also, what kind of foundation does the Xin family have in the Western Army? I'm telling you the truth, Xin Xingzong is like this now Back then, Yang Liulang was just like him, if the commander-in-chief really dealt with him, wouldn’t those veteran generals of the Western Army go against the sky?”

Wang De was speechless after being scolded by him. He was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he had to speak out in a depressed mood.

Tong Guan originally wanted to go to Hangzhou in a hurry, because the Xihe soldiers suffered this big defeat, which somewhat affected the morale of the army, so he had to rest for a few days, and then he personally led the troops to attack the Hangzhou government.

Cao Cao didn't know that Yang Weizhong, who he didn't catch, was actually caught by Tong Guan, otherwise he would have some emotions in his heart.

However, in the battle that day, Shi Bao's subordinates were defeated, those who were quick-footed first returned to Hangzhou to report, and when they heard that Shi Bao was defeated, Fang Tianding, the eldest prince of Nan'an who was in Hangzhou, was shocked and hurriedly called all the generals to discuss how to deal with it.

This Fang Tianding is the eldest son of Fang La, who has been with him since he was a child, preaching and teaching by example, is deeply loved by everyone, and is also the young leader of Mingjiao.This Hangzhou is the first big destination in the southeast, why should he be called to sit in town?The reason is to reuse experience.

Therefore, if we talk about the guards of the states, only Hangzhou has the strongest army and horses. In the Mingjiao, apart from the leader Fang La and the saint Fang Fang Baihua, the left and right envoys, the four great kings, the five scattered people, and the five marshals are the most powerful.

And now assisting Fang Tianding in guarding Hangzhou, there are six Guangming Left Envoy Fang Qifo, Baoguang Dharma King Deng Yuanjue, Nanli Generalissimo Shi Bao, Beixuan Generalissimo Si Xingfang, Xirui Generalissimo Pang Wanchun, and Dongqing Generalissimo Li Tianrun Including, supplemented by 24 flying generals, and the two crossbow generals Lei Jiong and Ji Ji under Pang Wanchun's command, the combat power is not weak.

As soon as Fang Tianding told about Shi Bao's defeat, Deng Yuanjue immediately jumped up and wanted to lead troops to rescue him. Si Xingfang and Pang Wanchun wanted to go with him, but Fang Tianding still hesitated. It was Fang Qifo who got up and said, "Shi Bao is a brave general. Don’t save them? Besides, those soldiers and horses are also Mingzun’s subordinates, we are all brothers in the sect, if we just sit and watch, we will break the hearts of the sect.”

Fang Qifo, known as the "Seven Buddha Sons", has extraordinary martial arts skills, is proficient in teachings, is generous, and has a high prestige in the world.He and Fang La are brothers of the same clan, they can be regarded as Fang Tianding's clan uncle, and they have always been trusted by Fang La and his son.

Seeing him speak, Fang Tianding finally made up his mind, ordered Deng Yuanjue and the others to lead soldiers and horses, and sent eight flying generals to assist them, telling them to be careful, and return as soon as Shi Bao is rescued, and don't want to fight the Western Army.

The three were so anxious that they ordered their soldiers and horses out of the city in a hurry. After running for more than ten miles, they suddenly saw the southern army rout and came slowly. Seeing these three were furious, Deng Yuanjue shouted: "It's lost." If the opportunity is defeated, why don’t you flee home quickly, are you still on an outing? Where’s your marshal?”

Those rout soldiers stood still, splitting up and down, revealing the Liangshan troops in the middle. Seeing Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao laughed loudly: "You bald donkey, my sons managed to save their lives, why are you bluffing them? Come on!" Come, see who I brought!"

As he spoke, he rode his horse out of the way, revealing the dwarf behind him.

Deng Yuanjue took a closer look, laughed loudly, and galloped towards him. When he got close, his fat body rolled over slightly and landed silently. He stretched out his arms to hug Lao Cao, and laughed loudly: "Brother, isn't it just a dream? You How did you get to Jiangnan!"

He turned around and shouted: "Brother Wu has arrived, you two are still not here to greet him!"

When Si Xingfang and Pang Wanchun saw Cao Cao clearly, they were both surprised and delighted, and hurried forward to greet him. Si Xingfang looked at the people behind Cao Cao, and asked with a smile, "Where is brother Luan and that iron bull? Come play together?"

Li Kui laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to take off the mask: "Smiling brother, only you are a good person, and you are worried about my Tieniu in your heart! Brother Luan's family has never come, he married a princess in Fusang country, and lived that romantic life , if you miss him, you have to go to Fusang!"

Si Xingfang wondered, "How did you get to Fusang?"

Li Kui cheered up and was about to elaborate, but was interrupted by Shi Bao, who put his arms around him and said, "Tie Niu, there is a time to say these things later, let me talk about the big things first, and the big things are now—"

He scanned Deng Yuanjue's three faces twice, and said with an accent: "Liangshan Chao Tianwang knew that the officers and soldiers were coming to conquer us, so he specially ordered Brother Song Jiang Song Gongming to bring these brothers to help us fight! These Don't look at the number of people, brothers, everyone is a good player. The Western Army's large formation of more than people will be broken as soon as it is broken. Shibao is also inevitable."

Those three are also experienced people. Hearing this, they knew that Wu Zhi wanted to hide his name again, so they all smiled and said: "Okay, it turned out that Brother Song Jiang came to help, and Brother Liang Shan is really generous. Our Mingjiao has received it! Since that’s the case, please go to the city with all the brothers first, and report to the eldest prince to know!"

This is: the heroes of Liangshan entered Hangzhou, and the heroes of Mingjiao went to Hailiu.Can't bear Yingjie to go to death lightly, but think about trying his best to recover Jin'ou.
