Overlord!

Chapter 131 Famous General Xu Huang
In Yuanguan, Cao Hong's army suffered a crushing defeat. It was not that he was not brave, but the opponent's army seemed too well-trained.

At the end of the Yanzhou army's strength, the Chinese army that was directly beaten collapsed and fled across the board.

The knights on the side asked enthusiastically: "Should we go down and help hunt down, Lieutenant?"

Chen Wu said with a smile: "If you want to go down and grab the spoils, the Xiliang army might want to fight with you too."

Liu You also said with a smile: "Looking at their tattered Yanzhou army, it's not worth my time to chase them down. Let's go up and contact them under the banner."

A banner is a flag and a trumpet.

More than 20 knights lined up, drums and horns sounded together, and flags were unfurled, which immediately attracted the attention of both sides on the battlefield.

This is not like the dilapidated appearance of the two warring parties. Although the Jiangdong knights are full of dust, everyone can see their neat scarlet uniforms and the extremely sophisticated black armor and pockets all over their bodies.

The fleeing Yanzhou army hurriedly fled from this area, and the defenders at Zhiyuanguan who were chasing them were also taken aback, and turned around and fled quickly.

If dozens of Xuanjia cavalry rode their horses into the formation, it would be no problem to trample hundreds of rebels in one wave.

It wasn't until they saw that the cavalry was standing on a high slope at the edge of the battlefield that the opponent was sure that the cavalry was not malicious.

Then a group of knights stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Chen Wu took a step forward and said, "General Mi Kou led the commander of Kuaiji prefect Sun Ce's Xiaoqi school lieutenant Chen Wu, and was ordered to guard the envoys to pay tribute. Who are you?"

Send envoys to pay tribute?

The team of knights who asked forward laughed loudly: "He came to give us wealth!"

"Haha! Someone brought us food and drinks again."

"Just hand over the tribute to us!"

The Xuanjia knights in Jiangdong looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this the legendary master?It seems that it is not much better than the bandits.

Someone suddenly gave a loud bah: "Bah! This kind of stuff is also worthy of our Jiangdong's tribute?"

The opponent had just won a big game, and at the moment of arrogance and brutality, he immediately raised his blood-stained spear at the black-armored knight, and shouted: "Which scorpion is shouting? Come out!"

The knights on the side raised their swords and spears one after another, surrounded them, and cursed wildly: "Who is talking nonsense, stand up? Let's see if Nai Weng will not hack you to death?"

"Stand up! Nai Weng has killed so many people today, and I'm not short of one of you."

"Stand up! Hurry up! Otherwise, no one will be spared, and all of them will have their heads cut off!"

Liu You's face was livid, is it this kind of corrupt military discipline and rampant people who are guarding the emperor?What is the majesty of the emperor?What are you talking about conquering the world?
But before he could speak, a cold light flashed aside, and the next moment, blood spattered and screams rang out.

Chen Wu directly pierced the leading cavalry in front of him with his long lance, pierced his chest with the lance blade, and directly lifted him into the air.

In the horror of the other party, Chen Wu yelled violently: "Whoever dares to act recklessly will die!"

Will be the guts of an army!
With Chen Wu's fierce spirit, the Xuanjia knights were immediately inspired, and immediately raised their spears and surrounded all the cavalry of the king's division in front of them.

Right now is the most violent and aggressive confrontation between men. The rough and burly cavalrymen roared and shouted violently, "Disarm immediately, get off your horse and stand up!"

"Dismount! I will let you dismount!"

"He moved! Kill him!"

In the chaos, someone roared, and the two fierce knights immediately fought together, and the bloody fight was violent and bitter.

In an instant, swords and guns intersected, blood spattered, and flesh and blood flew.

But the result surprised the opponent. The cavalry from Kansai did not gain the upper hand in the close combat.To be more precise, they were smashed to pieces!
The moment the swords and guns intersected, the three cavalrymen were stabbed and fell off their horses, but their counterattacks had little effect.

These Xuanjia cavalry are not only burly and well-armored, but they are also extremely proficient in stabbing techniques.

They didn't run, and the two sides hacked each other on the spot. These Kansai cavalry had no advantage in terms of numbers, equipment, and assassination.

Immediately someone wanted to escape, Chen Wu rushed over immediately, stabbed the cavalry who wanted to escape to death, and shouted: "Bind your hands, and those who dare to act recklessly will die!"

Seeing blood from swords and guns, these cavalrymen were finally afraid. They were pale and panicked. They couldn't believe that the other party dared to kill people when their own army gathered.

Liu You was about to speak, but Chen Wu raised his hand decisively to stop him, and said, "If Sun Lang punishes me in the future, I will bear it alone! At worst, I will pay tribute instead. I can still afford the loss of ten thousand stones of grain."

In this day and age, few things are truly urgent to the point where every second counts.

Paying tribute one month earlier or paying tribute one month later will not have much impact on Jiangdong or even the world.

And Chen Wu is also quite conceited, believing that his status is more than a mere ten thousand stone grain grass.

After all, I have been sent to see the general since I was a famous assassin, and then I have been serving as a personal guard. I have blocked countless blades for the general on the battlefield.

He definitely wouldn't kill himself for the loss of more than ten thousand stones, grain and grass.

But looking at these domineering and rude enemy cavalry in front of him, Chen Wu couldn't accept it at all, and handed over his tribute to them.

On the chaotic battlefield at this time, the enemy army has already seen the fighting here. After all, the corpses stabbed and the horses without owners are so obvious.

Immediately, troops gathered and surrounded here.

After all, Chen Wu is the chief general who guards the tribute this time, so Liu You can't say more.

In fact, he was also filled with righteous indignation, who wasn't a powerful team of famous teachers who swept one side?
Jiangdong's arrogant soldiers are invincible.It was out of respect for the emperor that he came to pay tribute, but the other party seemed to take pleasure in treating himself like a fool.

If the tribute was really given to them, wouldn't the tribute team be as disgusting as eating a fly?
Just looking at the opponent's pawns who were about to encircle him, Liu You was also very dignified, and asked, "What do you do now? I haven't seen the opponent's general for a long time, so it's rare to have a big fight?"

The Xuanjia knights on the side shouted: "Hit it! Kill them and let their blood flow into rivers. Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant?"

"Lieutenant, let's rush over, get caught up in the formation, fight for a few rounds, come and go freely, kill their prestige!"

The Kansai knights on the side saw the army coming up at this time, they regained their courage, raised their chins, and threatened: "I advise you to surrender obediently! I can also leave you with a whole body. Otherwise, when the army arrives, all Everyone is crushed to pieces."

"Come on! Come on! Continue to chop me up, I see if you still want to pay tribute!"

"I've never seen such a cheap request." Chen Wu slashed at the arrogant soldier who was stretching his neck begging for a slash. With a sharp slash, the place was immediately chilled again.

The rest of the Kansai knights gritted their teeth with hatred, and all stared at Chen Wu whose face was splashed with blood, wishing to eat his flesh alive!
At this time, a black knight shouted in surprise: "Captain, we are about to be surrounded. An enemy Hu cavalry is circling behind us from the west."

"There are Hu Qi?" Everyone was shocked, the army under the emperor's command is really messy!

Facing the enemy troops surrounded from all directions, Chen Wu wiped the blood on his face, and shouted violently: "I am afraid that we will have to fight a bloody battle today! Although we are not willing to wait, but the enemy is domineering and blindly persecuting. In this case, Let the enemy army see the might of our Jiangdong army."

More than [-] knights shouted excitedly with their spears and formed formation. Even though the enemy army was tens of thousands, they showed no fear.

At this time, an enemy general led dozens of cavalry to the front of the black army formation, and scolded Chen Wu: "Looking for death! How dare a few dozen cavalry provoke my emperor's army? Immediately dismount and kneel down!"

Chen Wu scolded back: "Damn! You deserve it too!"

The other party was furious, and immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Kill! Kill him to death...!"

The violent roar stopped abruptly, and the other party's excited body suddenly froze, his eyes widened, his face was full of shock, and he looked forward in shock.Even the war horse under his crotch was turning its hooves on the spot anxiously, full of uneasiness.

And the densely packed army behind him also seemed to be enchanted, and instantly froze, and the noisy battlefield was stagnant, as if the world had lost its voice.At the same time, another sound of orderly and heavy footsteps was getting closer and louder.

Chen Wu and the others immediately cheered up and turned their heads to look behind.

I saw a vermilion army of the same size, lined up in formation and stretching for several miles, marching towards the sun with banners unfurled.The army is in neat uniform, full of vermilion, the army formation is dazzling with black armor, and the red flag is crimson to the sky!

Just by looking at its army's majesty and appearance, everyone can tell at first glance that this must be an absolutely elite force.

The Xuanjia knights shouted excitedly: "Our reinforcements!"

"It's our reinforcements! Colonel, let's kill them! Let's see how they can stop our Jiangdong army with thousands of people!"

At this time, Gao Cheng rode out in front of Jiangdong's army, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to stop Jiangdong's tribute army?"

"Roar!" The soldiers immediately slapped their shields with knives and shouted excitedly.

The general who had scolded before fled back to the army in desperation.On the bloody battlefield, the enemy army was confused for a moment, and then another tall fierce general rode out with a spear in his hand.

"I'm Captain Qi, Xu Huang, Marquis of Duting! Since it's a tribute team, why do you want to use swords against Master Wang?"

Liu You immediately stood beside Chen Wu, turned his head and said, "This is the general who defeated Cao Hong's army before. His army did not chase after him indiscriminately, and he was the first to gather here."

Chen Wu nodded, and then looked at each other in surprise with Liu You. Unexpectedly, this general did not command many troops, but he was still a prince.

Du Tinghou is also Tinghou, but there is no fiefdom.But even so, that is above the Guanneihou, the real Liehou.Walking outside is enough to be respected as a king.

But Jiang Dong's subordinates couldn't call Xu Huang a prince.They didn't have any status as subordinates before.

So Gao Cheng said directly: "Captain Xu, or there is a little friction between the officers and men. Are you going to abolish the public for personal reasons and hinder the princes from paying tribute to the emperor?"

Before the three armies, Xu Huang naturally didn't dare to deal with such crowning words.

No matter how you say it, the small imperial court in Luoyang is very concerned about the approval of the world.

If he dared to bear the crime of obstructing the tribute, the emperor and ministers in the court would definitely question him at any cost.

When the time comes, his fate will not be any different from the few pawns killed by the enemy cavalry.

In the eyes of the world's ministers and princes, the life and death of a few grassroots generals are insignificant and dismissive.

When the Jiangdong tribute envoys arrived in Luoyang, the emperor and ministers in the court would only be very pleased and reward them for their merits.

As for the few pawns who died today, it may be a matter of life and death for the generals and schools who are confronting each other at the grassroots level.But when it was heard by Gong Qing, it was just a trivial matter that the tribute team was domineering and had a little conflict with the Xiliang army, and a few people died.

Which public minister would blame the Jiangdong envoy for this matter?

So Xu Huang immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "Nowadays there are rebels who intend to disturb Wangjia, and we have just defeated the rebels. It is reasonable to have conflicts with you. Since you are paying tribute, where is the tribute?"

With Xu Huang's reply, the conflict quickly subsided.

There were only a few Kansai cavalrymen who fled back, with horror and anger on their faces.

They overestimated the status of a few ordinary people too much. In the face of such a general situation, the loss of life would not cause much trouble.

They themselves have trampled on the majesty of the emperor, but they intend to use the majesty of the emperor to suppress the princes of the world, and they are just humiliating themselves.

As the two sides stopped fighting and each retreated, more than [-] chariots arrived at Guanxia in an endless stream, and the road was endless!
This scene made the soldiers guarding the gate proud, so much wealth?Is the court afraid that the warehouse will be full of money and food?
At this time, the general who had fled back to the front line in desperation before turned back and said to Gao Cheng, Yang Feng and others who were leading the guards and guarding by the side: "I am Dong Cheng, the general of the guard, you wait to give the tribute to my soldiers. , you can follow me to Luoyang to pay tribute."

General Wei Dong Cheng?
Everyone in Jiangdong has heard of this name.

Guarding the emperor's return to the east, this person is indispensable.

Now he has united with the others and repelled Cao Hong, indeed he has some talent.

If the majesty of the Han Dynasty was still there, Gao Cheng, a five-official officer, and Chen Wu, a small lieutenant, would never dare to refuse the order of a general of Wei.

But at this moment, Gao Cheng resolutely refused: "I will pay tribute to the Son of Heaven in my lifetime. If the tribute has not been delivered to Luoyang, it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to other people. The tribute must be escorted to Luoyang by us."

Dong Cheng blushed angrily when he was directly refuted in such a way.I am General Wei, and a small county official with a bronze seal on his waist dares to disobey him like this!
He said angrily: "Zhuzi, An dare to resist orders! Don't you know my general power?"

Gao Cheng cupped his hands and said, "It's my duty, I dare not bear military orders."

This attitude is very clear, I only recognize the order of Sun Cezhi, General Jiangdong's extermination, and you, General Dong Cheng of Wei, are also worthy?

"If you don't hand over the tribute, you can't pass through this pass today!" Dong Cheng shouted angrily.

Gao Cheng immediately waved his hand and said, "Retreat five li and set up camp!"

His attitude was so resolute that the soldiers guarding the gate could only watch anxiously as thousands of carts left slowly.

Luoyang was poor, and all the ministers in the imperial court, from the Shang Shulang down, had to go to the House of Thorns to dig wild vegetables, and there were many people with scantily clad clothes.

And now there are thousands of carts of grain, grass, and silk, but they just leave me waiting?
But Dong Cheng is also resolute, if you don’t give it to me, grab it!
He directly sent his troops to attack the camp of the Jiangdong tributary team.

But this time, he couldn't mobilize the troops of the other generals.

Yang Feng and Han Xian had the same interests as Dong Cheng in resisting Cao Cao's westward march to Luoyang, so they could join forces to fight against Cao Hong.

But regarding the distribution of tributes, their interests are quite different!

Dong Cheng could only lead more than a thousand of his men to attack the camp guarded by Chen Wu.
