Chapter 2 A Hero Three Gangs(1/2)
"The Black Crow of the Rebel Army, Chen Dao!"
[Note: Chen Dao, whose courtesy name is Shuzhi, was as famous as Zhao Yun in the late Han Dynasty. Historical records: Conquering the South (Zhao Yun) was heavy, conquering the West (Chen Dao) was Zhongke, and belonged to the ranks of peerless generals.]
"Rebels?"
Huang Luo's eyes narrowed and his eyes changed slightly.
He was wondering why these two guys had never met before, and why they came to cause trouble for him. Now when he heard this, he immediately understood.
In recent years, due to the continuous natural disasters in the Han Dynasty, the people were living in poverty, and the emperor Liu Hong was not interested in the government affairs, and the court ignored this and allowed the people of the world to be in a state of prosperity. Therefore, many civilians were forced to fall into robbers due to their lives.
In response to the rampant situation of the Han Dynasty, many chivalrous people from all over the country summoned their companions to assist the officials and soldiers of the government in various places to fight against the rebellious bandits.
And these people are called Rebels.
Because it is not a regular army, it is not even a local army. At most, it is a spontaneous act of righteousness by civilians. Therefore, the Han Dynasty's control over the rebel army was relatively relaxed.
Think about it, there are so many chivalrous heroes who are overwhelmed with chivalrous hearts to drive away the bandits who are in chaos in various places for free for the country and the court to drive down the bandits who are causing chaos in various places. How could the court foolishly reject this force?
The court not only did not refuse, but instead took advantage of the situation and issued a list of articles, saying that as long as the reputation and strength of a certain rebel army reached a certain height, they could be summoned by the emperor and become a regular army, and they were also a regular army with the original banner.
For example, if one day Zhang Huang's Black Crow Army became famous and was recruited by the court, then the Han Dynasty would have an additional regular army called "Black Crow".
What a glory this is?
Therefore, the incense bait thrown by the court made countless hopes in the world become famous, and the heroes who left their name in history joined the ranks of the rebel army without hesitation.
But they didn't think about it carefully. It was such a difficult road to accumulate merits in suppressing thieves without any subsidies from the court. But it is undeniable that the prospects of this road are really brilliant and tempting many heroes.
Look, in the eyes of Huang Luo, the Ashes bandit leader, there were two stupid eggs in front of him who were baited by the Han court.
"Does two little bastards who are still stinky and want to become famous and want to be crazy?"
Huang Luo's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm and said coldly, "Whatever the rebels are talking about, they are just first-class bandits who are willing to use for the government... We originally did not violate the rivers, but since you take the initiative to provoke first and kill my brothers on the mountain behind, don't blame me Huang Luo for being polite!"
Huang Luo thought very well, because at this moment he had nearly thirty brothers around him, but he had to deal with only two little devils. Could it be that thirty people could not beat two little devils?
When the bandits heard this, they surrounded each other with fierce eyes.
This made Zhang Huang and Chen a little nervous. After all, no matter how much they said, they were thirty young men. One or two of them were not afraid of being alone. What they were afraid of was that the other party rushed up and chopped and chopped. As the saying goes, killing the master's tutor by random punches. Since the human wave tactic has been proposed, it obviously has its own reasons.
At this moment, a bandit in Ashes Mountain suddenly staggered and his body shook.
"Erbao, what's wrong with you?" asked his thief companion next to him in surprise.
"No...I don't know what's going on, I'm just sleepy..." The thief named Erbao shook his body, looking a little confused.
What's incredible is that this sleepiness seemed to be contagious. In a while, the other bandits under Huang Luo's hands couldn't stand firm, and even Huang Luo himself felt his eyelids were so heavy.
At this time, a strange singing voice came faintly from afar.
"Ahhh! I keep the words of the sages in my heart, hold the sword to exorcise evil, and cut you down - ahhhh! I hold the sword to cut you down - ahhhh! I'm so happy!"
The bandits turned their heads and looked at them in surprise when they saw the scholar who had just sold wine, carrying a sword toward them.
Somehow, Huang Luo's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "Who is it?!"
The scholar was dressed and said in a singing voice: "Military advisor of the Black Crow Army, Shan Fu is also-ah-ah-ah!"
[Note: Shan Fu, later changed his name to Xu Shu, and before abandoning martial arts and learning literature, he was a local hero who used a sword to eliminate evil. In history, he served as a military advisor to Liu Bei's army, and was Zhuge Liang he recommended to Liu Bei.]
At that moment, there was no sound everywhere. Not only did Huang Luo and the bandits on Ashes Mountain not understand the situation, but Zhang Huang and Chen Dao also had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
This kind of emotion is called, you can't afford to lose this person.
It seemed that scholar Shan Fu also realized the cold situation around him, his expression was a little slouching, and he coughed, hugged Zhang Huang at afar, and smiled and said, "Chief, I'm lucky to be unfair to my fate!"
[How good is it to speak like this earlier?]
Zhang Huang murmured in his heart, nodded at Shan Fu, and then looked at Huang Luo again, and said in a deep voice, "Huang Luo, our reinforcements have arrived, aren't you surrendering yet?"
"Reinforcement? One person? What's the use of that?" Huang Luo laughed when he heard this. Although he had already noticed that there must be something wrong with the wine he had just drunk, he was not afraid. After all, they were also martial artists after all, and their bodies were resistant to medicine and other things.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huang laughed louder than him, and said loudly, "One person?"
After saying that, he pointed at Xu Shu and said in a deep voice, "This person is one of the commanders of our army. His appearance here at this time means that the team members under him have surrounded this valley as planned...a total of four hundred people!"
"Four hundred people?" The bandits of Ashes Mountain were shocked when they heard this, and thought to themselves that only two little ghosts had already caused them to lose face. What's the difference between four hundred people?
However, there are people who are more surprised than the thieves.
"Fight... Battle Captain? Isn't Xiaosheng a military advisor? Boss, you have clearly promised Xiaosheng, no, Xiaosheng wants to be a military advisor..." Shan Fu screamed and looked at Zhang Huang from a distance with a pleading expression.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Dao turned his head and looked at Zhang Huang, asking in confusion, "Four hundred people? Aren't we only four people? When were there four hundred people?"
As the breeze blew, the atmosphere became solidified again, and the bandits blinked and looked at Zhang Huang.
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Huang's face turned red, gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Dao and Shan Fu in anger, and cursed with gritted teeth, "You two, you will die if you don't destroy my platform? I'm scaring them! If you scare me, don't you have to fight! If you don't have blood, do you understand?"
[I said it myself...]
The bandits looked at each other, and this time they even saw that these three little ghosts seemed to have a little abnormal mind.
That's right, how could any normal person do something that would be foolish to provoke dozens of powerful enemies in Ashes Mountain by three people?
Huang Luo himself was even more embarrassed and angry, thinking that he was so embarrassed by these foolish boys' provocation and even more trapped? Doesn't this prove that he is worse than these fools?
"What are you looking at? You can't go up and kill these three bastards?"
Seeing the bandits under his command glance at this side from time to time with strange eyes, Huang Luo shouted in anger.
Seeing that the leader was angry, the bandits did not dare to delay any further, so they divided into two groups to attack Zhang Huang, Chen Dao and Shan Fu.
Because he had seen Chen Dao's ability, several self-righteous bandits took Shan Fu, the seemingly weak scholar.
"Huh?" Shan Fu obviously noticed this. Seeing that there were relatively many bandits attacking him, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Clang—"
The sharp sword in his hand was unsheathed. The bandits never thought that a scholar who looked weak and seemed to have a little bad brain had such a sharp and tricky sword technique. He heard a few sounds of swishing and killing several of their strong companions like chopping melons and vegetables.
Seeing that his companion who had just lived had turned into a cold corpse in an instant, the bandits were stunned.
On the other side, the Ashes Mountain bandits were in a more precarious situation. Who would have thought that more than a dozen strong men with a back and waist would be killed by Chen Daoyijie's seemingly thin boys.
"Boss, have a thrilling idea!"
A bandit who was scratched by Shan Fu's arm with a sword took a few steps back and cried out in a sarcasm.
[Nonsense, I have eyes, I can see it!]
Huang Luo glared at the bandit fiercely when he heard this, and then stared at Zhang Huang, Chen Dao and Shan Fu in the field. He had to say that, and he was also secretly shocked.
[The rebels are crazy about talking about the rebels. These three bastards are indeed a little capable... Wait! Three? Didn’t they say there are three? And there is one?]
Thinking of this, Huang Luo subconsciously looked around. After all, he realized that these little bastards had extraordinary strength. If they had a companion lurking nearby and waiting for an opportunity to attack him, one of them would be bad, and maybe even a boat capsized in the gutter.
And just then, he suddenly heard a joking laugh.
"Are you guessing where our last companion is hiding at this moment?"
Huang Luo's expression changed drastically when he heard this because he found that Zhang Huang had arrived at a distance of only ten feet away from him at some point.
[When did this kid come here?!]
Resisting the surprise that was rushing to his throat, Huang Luo's face remained silent, looked at Zhang Huang calmly, and subconsciously pressed the big knife on his waist with his right hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not here... As for where, you guess?" Zhang Huang raised his finger and shook it, and looked at Huang Luo with a smile.
"..." Huang Luo frowned.
Somehow, Zhang Huang, who was stupid just now, seemed to have an unfathomable illusion at this moment.
Just when Huang Luo was shocked and confused, suddenly a bandit under him saw something in a hurry and shouted in surprise: "Old...Boss, we... the direction of our village has caught fire!"
"What?"
Huang Luo's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw the thick smoke rolling in his camp. He was shocked.
[This group of dogs...,]
In an instant, Huang Luo suddenly thought of Zhang Huang's words just now, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.
Could it be that the fourth member of the Black Crow Army was actually in his village on Huangluo Ashes Mountain?!
"The copycat caught fire?"
"What? The copycat caught fire?"
The nearby bandits were shocked when they heard this. After all, all their belongings and the money they had robbed over the years were in the parody, which was the property they had saved for several years.
At this moment, Zhang Huang's expression suddenly changed, he took a step forward, shouted in a deep voice, "Huang Luo, it's time for you, a villain to give the head! If you throw away your weapons and impose the law, Zhang will not kill you and hand you over to County Guard Liu to give it to him, otherwise..." At this point, he slowly pulled out the sharp sword in the sheath.
[It turns out that this kid still has this trick, no wonder he didn't take action just now...]
Seeing that the bandits under his command were in chaos and their fighting spirit collapsed, Huang Luo immediately understood, and couldn't help but sank, "What's the matter?! Isn't it just that the counterfeit village has caught fire! Over the years, have we been burned by that guy Liu Yan rarely? What are you afraid of if you lose some gold, silver and wealth? Just grab it back!"
When the bandits heard this, their uneasiness gradually subsided. It can be seen that Huang Luo did have a great prestige among the bandits.
After glanced at the quiet bandits and saw that some of them still had a reluctance expression, Huang Luo continued, "What's more, the copycat was destroyed by these bastards before they could be taken seriously. Don't forget that there are still twenty brothers in the copycat!"
“Yes…”
"Boss is right!"
To be continued...
