Chapter 42 Shocking Officers and Army with Strength

Jingzhou Liu Biao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan formed an alliance two years ago. The territory of the two overlords formed an alliance thousands of miles apart, thanks to Yuan Shao, another hegemon, Yizhou Mu. In recent years, Yuan Shao's power has become more and more powerful. In order to protect himself, Youzhou Gongsun Zan took the initiative to cooperate with Liu Biao in Jingzhou to jointly resist Yuan Shao's unscrupulous expansion.

Liu Biao and Gongsun Zan hit it off immediately. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the alliance, the two forces sent important personnel to serve as messengers. Youzhou Gongsun Zan appointed his cousin to Jingzhou as an envoy, while Liu Biao appointed his son Liu Pan as an envoy to Youzhou.

It can be seen that the so-called messenger is just a disguised hostage... This time, Gongsun Yuan's messenger's term of office has expired. Under the protection of 200 soldiers, he left Jingzhou and drove around Qingzhou to Youzhou. Originally, Gongsun Yuan was directly from Yizhou to Youzhou, but he also had a secret task, which was to escort nearly 300 craftsmen to Youzhou. Therefore, if such a team passes through Yizhou, it will definitely be closely watched by Yuan Shao from Yizhou.

In view of the current situation, Gongsun Yuan and his party decided to make a detour to Qingzhou. Of course, they should try to avoid the area where the Yellow Turban Army gathers.

These 500 craftsmen are gifts given by Liu Biao from Jingzhou to Sun Zan, Gongsun Zan from Youzhou. In return, Gongsun Zan gave thousands of weapons and armor to Liu Biao from Jingzhou. However, these weapons and armor were robbed by horse thieves on the ground of Qingzhou...

At the front end of the migration team, Gongsun Yuan was absent-minded. His mind has traveled through the real space and returned to his hometown. There is his mother, wife and children in his hometown, even if he has lived freely in Jingzhou this year. The more homesick you are, the more people wander around the world, the stronger you feel!

As long as you turn over this mountain road, climb a gentle slope, and walk another hundred miles, you will reach the boundary of Youzhou. The closer you are to home, the more relaxed Gongsun Yuan is.

Gongsun Yuan stopped at the gully near the mountain road, and the flow of people continued calmly. He looked at the flow of people and shouted loudly, "My fellow villagers, after walking through this mountain road and climbing a section of hillside, we will rest. Let's stick to it..."

The marching craftsmen heard the sound and smiled at him one after another. However, when the team was halfway forward, it was blocked at the corner, and a series of exclamationes spread like waves from the front end of the team to Gongsun Yuan's ears.

A soldier rushed over from the front and said on one knee in front of Gongsun Yuan, "General Gongsun, there are thieves blocking the road on the hillside in front of him..."

When Gongsun Yuan heard the sound, he couldn't help taking a breath: Why is he so unlucky that he met the thieves in Qingzhou? It's really not as good as agreeing to the escort request of the Ma Gang...

When he first entered the boundary of Qingzhou, the horse gang came to chat up and negotiate business. However, he was turned down by Gongsun Yuan. He thought that he had 200 officers and soldiers with him, and ordinary thieves did not dare to touch them... Even if they met the emerging strong horse thieves, they also had the power to fight. What's more, they had no property and military supplies. They were just a group of people. Such a team would not attract the attention of thieves. Of.

But the reality is that this team still attracted the attention of the thief. Gongsun Yuan heard what Liu Pan from Jingzhou said about the strength of the horse thief. In the boundary of Jingzhou, Liu Pan, who was dejected by Gongsun Yuan Road, was already Liu Pan with intermediate martial arts cultivation. He was equipped with the best equipment and weapons, and accompanied by 400 soldiers. It was such strength. The ten heavy trucks and military supplies he escorted were robbed by the ring horse thieves in Qingzhou, and Liu Pan himself was within ten moves. Defeated by the leader of the ringing horse thief...

While Gongsun Yuan was rushing forward, he was still thinking: Why are the horse thief interested in a group of migrants? There are not many women in this group...

Because the craftsman automatically gave way, Gongsun Yuan quickly rode to the front of the team. The statue-like general stood on the gentle slope 50 meters away from him: the leader was wearing the star and moon armor, holding the reins of the mount in one hand, and a pair of bright eyes staring at Gongsun Yuan behind the star and moon mask. Behind this man were ten generals in lock gold armor, and behind the ten generals were four phalanxed infantry.

To Gongsun Yuan's surprise was: First, the weapon rings next to the saddle of these eleven generals were empty, and there were no long weapons. They were all short knives hanging around the waist. An inch is strong and an inch is dangerous, which shows that the martial arts skills of these 11 generals are excellent. The second is: the eleven generals are all masks. Of course, the color of the masks is different.

When Gongsun Yuan was still immersed in surprise, a golden armored general of the other party raised the reins and urged the horse to cross the leader of the horse thief, and then stood still. Facing the panicked people, he shouted, "I opened this road, and I planted this tree. From now on, I will pass by and stay to buy money..."

As soon as Jin Jia shouted, the crowd crowded on the mountain road began to be chaotic. When encountering robbers, even with the protection of officers and soldiers, ordinary people are still very afraid.

Through observation, Gongsun Yuan quickly knew that the eleven generals of the other side were all intermediate martial arts, and their side was definitely not the opponent of the robbers.

In such a situation, Gongsun Yuan could only admit defeat. He arched his hand and shouted to the Jinjia general, "Friend, we are just passing by the boundary of Qingzhou, and we voluntarily offer a thousand taels of silver..."

"Hey hey, today we don't want silver..." The golden armored general said leisurely.

"What do you want?" Gongsun Yuan looked suspicious.

"We want... people!" The tone of the golden general suddenly became sharp, "Your officers and soldiers will leave by themselves, and those people will stay!"

At this time, the mount of the golden armored general shook his noble head in time, and the golden bell hanging on its slender neck made a "dingling bell" sound. Such a delicate golden bell and such a unique sound is the origin of the "horse thief".

When Gongsun Yuan heard the special request of the Jinjia general, his mind suddenly short-circuited: robbers don't want money, want people? What kind of robber is this...

And the golden armored general didn't give Gongsun Yuan too much time to think at all. His eyes flashed and he said intimidly, "Don't be my mother-in-law. If the officers and soldiers leave, let them go; if the officers and soldiers stay, there will be no mercy!"

In the face of the invincible strong enemy, Gongsun Yuan turned his head and looked at his soldiers and 300 craftsmen with a depressed expression. When he turned his face again to face the strong enemy like a heavenly soldier and a general, he had no choice but to accept the other party's opinion: voluntarily gave up 300 craftsmen, and the officers and soldiers retreated completely.

If it is on the battlefield, it is a defeat without a fight. The golden armored warrior, on behalf of the horse thief, accepted the surrender of Gongsun Yuan. He waved his hand back, and the soldiers behind him moved to the two sides of the official road and gave up a passage.

Under the gaze of the horse thief, Gongsun Yuan was the first to rush his horse through the passage, and the two hundred soldiers behind him stepped forward nervously one by one.

At this time, there was a sad shout from the craftsman group: "Brother Qiang, don't leave Xiao Cui..." In the tense situation, this sad shout seems very special, just like the sudden sound of the flute in the gentle performance of the band, which is quite harsh and noticeable.
