Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 433 Zhang Cigong

The more Youxian King thought about it, the more afraid he became. He didn't dare to chase into the valley before confirming his safety, and watched Liang Xiao leave helplessly.

Liang Xiao moved forward all the way, passing through a not too long valley, crossing the northern tributary of the Yellow River, meandering eastward.He didn't dare to go too hastily, for fear that King Youxian would see a flaw and catch up again.He didn't speed up until he confirmed that King Youxian had retreated, and rushed to Daze.

He and Cheng Bushi were not far away, but Youxian King chased him too closely and never gave him a chance to meet Cheng Bushi.Now that King Youxian has left, he arrived at Daze in only half a day.

Beside Daze, he met Wei Qing and others who had just arrived.

Seeing the appearance of Liang Xiao and the others, Wei Qing was startled and got off his horse. "Bo Ming, you are..."

"Haha...it's a bit miserable, isn't it?" Liang Xiao laughed twice in self-mocking. "Is there anything to eat? Hurry up and get us some. I haven't had a good warm meal for a few days."

Wei Qing didn't dare to neglect, and quickly arranged for someone to prepare food for Liang Xiao.Just after saying a few words, Zhang Cigong got the news and rode over to see Liang Xiao's appearance, he couldn't help being happy.

"Hey, who is this? It's really majestic. You won another battle?"

Liang Xiao didn't know Zhang Cigong, so he glanced at him and said nothing.He knows that he has a bad image now.After being chased by King You Xian staring at his butt for two days, he almost never closed his eyes and didn't even have a chance to wash his face.The ashes that stuck to his face when he set the fire that night are probably still there. Anyway, when he picks his nose, he can always pick out black ash, and the color of his saliva is also gray. Needless to say, his hands, all ten seams between his nails are black. .

However, he didn't think that Zhang Cigui would fail to recognize him, whether it was his battle flag, his war horse, or Pang Shuo and Tu Niu'er beside him, it was enough to show his identity.Even just looking at the closeness between him and Wei Qing, one should know who he is.

This guy's attitude is not very friendly.But we are people with status, so we can't have the same knowledge as him.

Liang Xiao ignored Zhang Cigong and asked Wei Qing, "Why are you here?"

"Han Gong was worried that General Cheng was in danger, so he asked General Li and I to come over to support him. General Li hurried forward and went to the front."

Liang Xiao groaned, somewhat understanding.Li Guang has three horses for one man, but Wei Qing is the standard configuration of cavalry in the Han army, one horse for each man, plus [-]% of the spare horses.The marching speeds of the two sides could not be at the same level, and Li Guang was not the kind of person who liked to build good relations, so he probably just cared about his own pleasure and rushed to the front, leaving Wei Qing and others behind.

However, he couldn't say anything, so he could only deal with it vaguely.

Zhang Cigong was already angry, but seeing Liang Xiao's appearance, he became even more annoyed.He jumped off the horse, walked up to Liang Xiao, looked him up and down, pretending to be surprised. "Hey, isn't this the famous champion? Why does he look like this? Could it be that he just killed the Xiongnu Shanyu and hasn't had time to clean up?"

Pang Shuo was furious.He and Zhang Cigong have known each other for a long time, so they are kind of friends.He is Liang Xiao's disciple, Zhang Cigong is disrespectful to Liang Xiao, just doesn't take him seriously.He snorted: "Zhang Cigong, pay attention to your identity, don't forget your dignity."

Zhang Cigong had seen Pang Shuo a long time ago, but he didn't take Pang Shuo seriously at all.He glared at Pang Shuo and retorted. "Pang Dahu, pay attention to your identity, you are a house slave, dare to talk to me like this, are you afraid that I will smash your mouth?"

"You should give it a try." Pang Shuo took a step forward and stood with his sword horizontally.

"You dare to threaten me?" Zhang Cigong was also angry. He drew out the saber from his waist, held the saber in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Come on, let me see if you have improved in the past few years."

Liang Xiao frowned, a little unhappy. "Where did this idiot come from?"

Embarrassed, Wei Qing stepped forward to stop Zhang Cigong. "Second Lord, don't be rude to the champion."

"What champions!" Zhang Cigong spat and scolded: "Looking at their bad looks, they must have suffered a defeat. Who knows how many days this champions will be able to do? Isn't it just bad luck? Well, do you really think you are a famous general?"

Liang Xiao frowned even tighter.He gritted his teeth, stood up, and lowered his eyelids. "According to what you say, my name as a champion does not match the truth?"

Zhang Cigong snorted. "Well, don't you, you know it yourself."

"Are you saying that His Majesty's rewards and punishments are unknown? Or, that His Majesty is not smart enough to be deceived by me?"

"You..." Before Zhang Cigong could say anything, Wei Qing covered his hands.He struggled to break free, wanting to curse again.Wei Qing was in a hurry, raised his leg and kicked him, kicked him so hard that he stepped back a few steps, and sat down on the ground.

"Zhongqing, you..."

"Presumptuous, Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and the title of the champion is real, how can you allow you to talk nonsense?" Wei Qing winked at Minister Zhang Ci repeatedly, and sternly shouted: "Why don't you plead guilty to the champion?"

Zhang Cigong wanted to argue again, but Gongsun Ao just arrived and heard their conversation clearly, so he also rushed over at this time, taking the opportunity of helping Zhang Cigong, he whispered a few words in his ear.After Zhang Cigong heard this, he realized Liang Xiao's insidiousness. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but stood there stubbornly, refusing to salute Liang Xiao and make amends.

Liang Xiao clapped his hands and looked at Wei Qing. "Zhongqing, I, a defeated general, have no face to eat your food. Let me take my leave."

"Bo Ming, Bo Ming..."

Liang Xiao ignored Wei Qing, got on his horse, turned the horse's head, and glanced at Zhang Cigong. "Boy, I'm giving Zhongqing face today, and I don't care about you. Next time you see me, you'd better stay away, otherwise, don't blame me for being black. Dahu, let's go."

"Here." Pang Shuo put away the knife, glared at Zhang Cigong, took big steps, and followed Liang Xiao.All three of his horses were killed, and he couldn't find a suitable horse for a while, so he could only walk.

Seeing this, Zhang Cigong further confirmed Liang Xiao's judgment that he had lost the battle, and scolded him endlessly.Wei Qing was furious and yelled a few times before he restrained himself.However, he was confident in his judgment.Even Wei Qing felt a little uneasy.The appearance of Liang Xiao and the others was too embarrassing. They looked like bereaved dogs. There was no other explanation except for losing the battle.

Liang Xiao rushed to Cheng Buzhi's camp.

Cheng Bushi was cleaning up the battlefield.After two days of confrontation with the Huns, Li Guang arrived and became the last straw that crushed the Huns.As soon as they saw Li Guang's battle flag, the Huns collapsed and fled in all directions.

Li Guang led the cavalry to pursue, and Cheng Bushi arranged for people to treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and count the casualties on both sides.These tedious tasks take time, but don't be careless.The military law of the Han army was very strict, and if the number of beheadings was wrong, he might be convicted of a crime. Cheng Bushi didn't want to fight hard, but it was in vain because of a few numbers.

However, seeing Liang Xiao, Cheng Bushi was in a very good mood.

"Bo Ming, why did this happen?" Cheng Bushi asked with concern.

"Oh, don't mention it." Liang Xiao was offended by Zhang Cigong, and he was not in a good mood. "Youxian King chased me for two days, and he didn't even give me time to wash my face. I was almost killed by him."

When Liang Xiao described the situation of the past few days, Cheng Buzhi laughed, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.If he hadn't reacted in time to hold King You Xian back, it would be really hard to say whether Liang Xiao would come back alive.When King Youxian first decided to rescue the rear army, he had [-] cavalry.

"How is the situation here, General? Looks like this, is it a big victory?"

"Thanks to you attacking the Huns' baggage. King Youxian rushed to chase you, and the rest of the Huns had no leader and no desire to fight. General Li arrived in time again. I was almost out of danger and won a small victory."

"Haha, the general is being modest." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "The general has made a great contribution by defending this place. In this way, the Xiongnu Shanyu may have to withdraw his troops. General, you have to be prepared, there are still tough battles to fight Well, we can't let Shan Yu go away so easily."

"If that's the case, then of course it would be great." Cheng Bushi was in a good mood, talking and laughing happily with Liang Xiao. "People's suffering is not enough, I always feel that this credit is not enough. Young people are awesome. You young people are better at fighting each other. If I don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid I will fall behind."

The two smiled at each other.

Chang Shi Chen Anping came over and told Cheng Bushi that Wei Qing came with ten thousand riders.Cheng Bushi quickly asked Chen Anping to lead Wei Qing into the account.Although Wei Qing is a close minister of the emperor, he is his lieutenant general, so he would not lower himself to meet him.

Not long after, Wei Qing and others came to the Chinese army.Seeing the situation on the battlefield, they knew that they were one step late again, and had traveled for a few days just to be witnesses of meritorious deeds for Li Guang and Cheng Bushi, so they were inevitably upset.Seeing Liang Xiao and Cheng Buzhi talking lively, Zhang Cigong couldn't bear it anymore. "It's really shameless for a defeated general to still have the face to joke around here."

Cheng Buzhi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately sank his face. "what are you saying?"

Although Zhang Cigong didn't regard Cheng Bushi as a real superior, he was unwilling to cause this misunderstanding.He hurriedly said: "General, didn't someone lose a battle, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot."

Liang Xiao smiled and remained silent, pretending not to hear.

Cheng Bushi glanced at it and immediately understood.He shook his head. "General Wei, this time I was able to defend the camp and repel the Huns. First, I want to thank you for your timely support. Second, I want to thank Liang Xiao for his surprise attack and burning down the Huns' supply camp. If it weren't for this, the Huns might not have made it so easy. give up."

Wei Qing was taken aback. "Bo Ming... burned the Huns' supply camp?"

Liang Xiao stood up, nodded with a smile, stretched out two fingers, and waved them in front of Zhang Cigong and others. "Two. Why is my face so black? The fire is too big, too many things are burned, and it's smoky."

Zhang Cigong's face immediately turned into a pig's liver, and he was speechless, unable to utter a word.

Wei Qing was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted and stepped forward to salute with a smile on his face. "Bo Ming, you really lived up to everyone's expectations and created a miracle again."

"Don't dare to live up to expectations, I'm afraid some people..." Liang Xiao glanced at Zhang Cigong and laughed. "Very disappointed."
