It's no wonder that Liang Xing started to rebel. After all, these people can be said to have started out as rebels. For them, rebellion is as normal as eating and sleeping on weekdays.
Anyway, even if they rebel, they will not lose their lives. As long as they can resist the suppression of officials sent by the court as before, then the court will have to find ways to appease them. It can be said that they have been growing stronger little by little.
Especially now that they have a hundred thousand troops to dominate one side. Although the imperial power represented by Chu Yi is also very strong, these people are really not afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, every time the imperial court did not mobilize troops, but the result was that they could not get a good deal from their hands.
It was only because Han Sui was worried about the power of the imperial court, and because of Yuan Shao's example, he thought that he could do it without fighting, so he made up his mind to surrender to the imperial court.
However, now Chu Yi's request has touched the bottom line of Han Sui and others, so even the eight generals could not bear it without Han Sui opening his mouth.
Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi and the others also turned to Han Sui with angry faces and said: "Master Hou, the Chu thieves are really bullying people too much. Let us fight to let him know how powerful we are. Otherwise, we will really take it seriously."
We are all made of clay."
Seeing that people's hearts were at their mercy, Han Sui stood up suddenly and said solemnly: "Okay, what you generals said is true. Since the Chu thieves won't give us a way to survive, then we will fight with him and let him know that our Xiliang men are not greedy."
People who are afraid of death."
After unifying his thoughts, Han Sui immediately mobilized his troops and generals to prepare to face the imperial army.
As for the movements of Han Sui's troops, Chu Yi naturally sent sentries to keep an eye on them secretly. It could be said that the troubles in Jincheng could not be hidden from Chu Yi's eyes.
Soon the news of Han Sui's dispatch of troops and horses reached Chu Yi.
Among the generals who accompanied Chu Yi on the expedition, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Tai Shici and others naturally also got the news.
At this moment, several generals who had received the news were saluting Chu Yi respectfully in a camp.
The army cannot be on the move all the time. It will choose a suitable place to set up camp every day. Guan Yu and Lu Bu made arrangements for their men to set up camp and came to see Chu Yi.
Chu Yi glanced at a few people, and naturally knew what they wanted to do, but he just sat there and flipped through the scrolls in his hands, paying no attention to what they meant.
Seeing Chu Yi sitting there flipping through the classics, a few people naturally didn't want to disturb Chu Yi, so they could only stand there one by one.
After a while, Lu Bu had the most irritable temper, but he did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Chu Yi, but he looked restless.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi put down the classics in his hands, looked at a few people and said: "You guys are not in the army, why do you come to see me?"
Seeing that Chu Yi paid attention to them, they looked at each other and said almost in unison: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard to capture Han Sui..."
As if they felt that the other party had robbed them of their words, several people couldn't help but glare at each other.
Chu Yi chuckled, looked at a few people, and said with a half-smile: "There is only one position for the pioneer officer, but there are three of you. Tell me, who do you want me to appoint?"
Lu Bu said loudly and without hesitation: "Of course he is the last general. The last general is willing to issue a military order and not to defeat Han Sui's troops. He is willing to die to atone for his sins."
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, narrowed his eyes and said, "Guan is willing to pledge his head as a guarantee."
When Taishi Ci saw this, he said without hesitation: "The last general..."
Chu Yi waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "With more than 10,000 troops under your command, it is a bit difficult to break through Jincheng."
To be honest, it's not that Chu Yi thinks highly of Han Sui, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and even Tai Shi Ci are indeed powerful generals, but if any one of them can lead his troops to break through Jincheng and kill Han Sui, Chu Yi really doesn't think highly of several of them.
.
If Han Sui was so easy to deal with, he would not be called the old fox with nine curved ileum. He would be an old fox who could still survive despite repeated suppression by Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song and other famous court generals.
In terms of force alone, Guan Yu, Taishi Ci, and Lu Bu could indeed overwhelm Han Sui and even their subordinates. However, marching and fighting requires not only force, but also the confrontation of large armies. Although the role of generals is great, if you want to
It is quite difficult to decide the direction of a war.
Unless Han Sui foolishly sacrificed his life and was beheaded and captured the flag. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, the military formation will be enough to suppress the power of the generals.
And what kind of person is Han Sui? If he was that kind of reckless person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive today.
However, neither Guan Yu nor Lu Bu regarded Han Sui as a powerful enemy from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise they would not have been so sure to issue the so-called military order.
After hearing what Chu Yi said, several people were naturally quite dissatisfied, especially the aloof Guan Yu, and Lu Bu, who considered himself invincible, all showed dissatisfaction.
Lu Bu even shouted: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of Han Sui. If you don't believe it, please let me give it a try and confirm that I have taken Han Sui's head."
Chu Yi looked at a few people, nodded slightly and said: "In that case, I will order the three of you to be the vanguard, and each will lead his troops to Jincheng."
Chu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "This time, Lu Bu is the leader, Yun Chang, and Ziyi are the assistants. I hope that the three of you can unite with each other. I wish you a successful start..."
The mighty cavalry team rolled up smoke and dust all over the sky, and the earth shook violently. The movement of such a large team of cavalry on the way could be detected within a radius of more than ten miles.
Chu Yi brought almost 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to conquer Han Sui, while Guan Yu, Taishi Ci, and Lu Bu brought almost 30,000 cavalry.
At this moment, the three of them led their troops and horses and headed straight towards Jincheng. Lu Bu, who was wearing armor, was like a god of war. He faced Guan Yu and Tai Shici and said: "You two, Lu will go first, and you two will follow."
Arrive."
It is indeed difficult to make Guan Yu, an arrogant person, obey Lu Bu's command, but who has such a big Buddha like Chu Yi to suppress him? So even if they are quite dissatisfied with Lu Bu's orders, Tai Shici and Guan Yu can only suppress them.
I suppressed the depression in my heart and clasped my fists to accept the order.
Seeing Lu Bu and his cavalry suddenly speeding away, Guan Yu said to Taishi Ci: "General Ziyi, we will stay behind General Lu just in case."
Although Guan Yu is said to be aloof and arrogant, it does not mean that Guan Yu is arrogant. He still remembers what Chu Yi said before. Although in his heart, he still thinks that Chu Yi overestimates Han Sui, but since Chu Yi
Yi said so about Han Sui. Regardless of whether he believed it or not, he was still vigilant.
Taishi Ci nodded towards Guan Yu. He had no intention of competing with Lu Bu for the limelight, but as a general in charge of the army, he had the habit of competing for first place. His cultivation was indeed inferior to Lu Bu, but he
I don't think that my ability in commanding troops is inferior to Lu Bu's.
Heixiong Ridge is just an inconspicuous mountain, but it is famous because the road to Jincheng passes through Heixiong Ridge.
An inconspicuous checkpoint blocked the Black Bear Ridge Canyon. The canyon was not big or spacious, but it could accommodate four horses passing through it in parallel.
This is enough for ordinary passers-by, but for an army of tens of thousands of people, such a canyon is a bit narrow.
At this time, there was an open area in front of the Black Bear Ridge Canyon, where a dense mass of people and horses were waiting quietly, and a chilling air rose into the sky.
Needless to say, these troops and horses were Han Sui's troops. At first glance, Han Sui's troops and horses were indeed in a mess. They were not even dressed uniformly. In addition, there were a mixture of Hu and Han people among them, making it even more chaotic.
But if anyone underestimates these soldiers and horses, the opponents who fall in front of Han Sui will serve as a warning.
These soldiers and horses all followed Han Sui in the rebellion and survived many battles. Although many of them were recruits that Han Sui had recently recruited, under the leadership of those veterans, there were also
A bit of an elite atmosphere.
Looking at the fierce soldiers and horses behind him, Han Sui, who was wearing a fur robe, smiled and said to Cheng Yin beside him: "Cheng Yin, where are the Chu bandit soldiers and horses forward now, and when will they arrive at the Black Bear Ridge Canyon?
"
Cheng Yin held a spear in his hand and narrowed his eyes: "Back to the Marquis, according to the news from our spies, the Chu thieves sent Lu Bu as the vanguard. Thirty thousand cavalry were rushing towards the Black Bear Ridge Canyon, but Lu Bu took them first.
With thousands of cavalry coming, it will take at most an hour to arrive."
Stroking his beard, Han Sui squinted his eyes and said: "Oh, Lu Bu is really arrogant. He only brought his own troops. Does he think he can defeat us with the more than 10,000 troops under his command?"
Can’t do it?”
Cheng Yi waved the scimitar in his hand and laughed loudly: "Lü Bu's cultivation is indeed tyrannical, but we are not fools. If we don't challenge him in a one-on-one fight, we will only need a large army to press down on him. No matter how strong his cultivation is, how can we still win by then?"
Can you defeat an army of tens of thousands?"
You must know that once the army forms a formation, even if it is a peerless general under the suppression of the evil spirit, it is already good if his cultivation level can reach six or seven points. Therefore, even if Lu Bu has a fierce reputation, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi and others are not afraid at all.
feel.
They are no match for each other when fighting alone. The key point is that they never thought of challenging Lu Bu in a one-on-one battle.
Han Sui smiled slightly and said, "You have made all the preparations you need to do. Let's teach Lu Bu a lesson later."
More than half an hour passed, and the ground shook slightly. Many soldiers were shaken and subconsciously looked towards the direction of the canyon.
Han Sui, Cheng Yin, and Cheng Yi's eyes lit up, and they also looked towards the direction of the canyon. With their cultivation, they could naturally see further than those soldiers.
Several people watched from a distance as a cavalry team roared towards them, sending up smoke and dust all over the sky. Especially the leading general was really eye-catching. After all, Lu Bu's outfit and the red rabbit horse underneath him were as red as fire.
, you can see Lu Bu rushing to the front at a glance.
When Han Sui and others saw Lu Bu, Lu Bu also felt the gazes of Han Sui and others. After looking at each other, Lu Bu judged the identities of Han Sui and others.
Although he said that he had never met Han Sui, he had seen the images of Han Sui and the eight generals brought back by the scouts, so when he saw a few people, Lu Bu knew their identities.
"Tsk, tsk, Han Sui didn't hide in the Golden City. It seems that God is really helping me this time!"
In Lu Bu's opinion, Han Sui is very likely to be hiding in Jincheng. If that is the case, it will take a lot of effort for him to break through Jincheng and capture Han Sui. However, now Han Sui actually led an army to stop him.
, how could this not excite Lu Bu?
If Han Sui can't be defeated in a battle in the wilderness, wouldn't it be even more difficult to capture Han Sui once he hides in the city?
His eyes fell on the mountain in front of him. Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat disdainful look on his face: "Does a mere mountain actually want to stop Lu?"
Just looking at the narrow passage, Lu Bu could imagine that Han Sui had already set up an ambush in the canyon, waiting for him to lead his army.
But how could he, Lu Bu, be the kind of reckless man who would rush in even though he knew there was an ambush? Thinking of this, a trace of disdain flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.
In an instant, Lu Bu's figure soared into the sky, and a lone wolf appeared behind him, looking up to the sky and roaring. The next moment, the halberd in his hand flashed with dazzling light, like a mighty sun hanging in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the halberd fell, and the long halberd fell.
A powerful energy reaching hundreds of feet roared down.
The void exploded, almost breaking into pieces, but it seemed that Lu Bu's blow was not aimed at Han Sui and others on the other side of the canyon, but instead rushed towards the canyon.
Seeing the strange phenomenon caused by Lu Bu's full blow, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi and even Han Sui couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Although they knew that Lu Bu had strong martial arts skills, they never thought that Lu Bu would be so powerful. They just looked at Lu Bu.
That blow, they asked themselves, if they really hit Lu Bu, they might not be able to withstand even Lu Bu's three moves.
Han Sui's hand stroking his beard couldn't help but tremble, but he still said with a confident smile on his face: "Lü Bu is just as I expected. He is a reckless man. He is really a reckless man."
Hearing what Han Sui said, Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin laughed and said: "The Marquis has long expected that Lu Bu would definitely rely on force when seeing terrain like Black Bear Ridge."
Han Sui's hand stroking his beard couldn't help but tremble, but he still said with a confident smile on his face: "Lü Bu is just as I expected. He is a reckless man. He is really a reckless man."
Hearing what Han Sui said, Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin laughed and said: "The Marquis has long expected that Lu Bu would definitely rely on force when seeing terrain like Black Bear Ridge." After hearing what Han Sui said, Cheng Yi,
Cheng Yin and the two generals laughed and said: "The Marquis has long expected that Lu Bu would definitely rely on force when seeing terrain like Black Bear Ridge."
