When Hua Xiong heard the words, his spirits immediately perked up, and he responded with a grin: "Okay."

The drawbridge was lowered and the city gates opened.

Hua Xiong led [-] cavalry out of the city, and he stepped forward even more, pointed the simple knife in his hand to Zhang Xiu, and shouted: "Come, come, who dares to come up and fight with your grandfather Hua Xiong!"

Since Hua Xiong was defeated at Sishuiguan before, he had no record to speak of, and people in the world did not know that there was such a number one person as Hua Xiong.

Hearing Hua Xiong's cry of war, one of the brave generals behind Zhang Xiu rushed out, with a spear in his hand, he came straight for Hua Xiong, and shouted: "The enemy general is going crazy, Guanghan Quanzhi is here to take your leader!"

Seeing someone coming to kill with a gun, Hua Xiong yelled, "Good job", and rushed towards him.

The moment the two met and clashed, Hua Xiong raised the saber in his hand and cut him off the horse before Quan Zhi could use his moves.

thump!

Quan Zhi, who landed on the ground, stared at his eyes, lifeless.

"What a strong guy."

Zhang Xiu, who was watching the battle, frowned slightly, Quanzhi was neither top nor weak under him.Even if he played by himself, he might not be able to defeat Hua Xiong.

"The enemy will stop leaving, I will meet you when I come!" Another general came out.

This person is under Zhang Lu's command, named Ding Mao, and he is quite famous for his long sword.

Ding Mao rushed up to Hua Xiong, without further ado, shaved his brows, and slashed down with his long saber.

Hua Xiong took advantage of the situation to block, and after feeling the force coming from above, he couldn't help but sneered: "Hmph, I'm overestimating my strength."

Then Hua Xiong pushed upwards vigorously, making Ding Mao involuntarily lean back on the horse and pause.Hua Xiong seized the opportunity and slashed down on the head. His saber technique was so fierce that he directly split Ding Mao's body in two from the ceiling, splitting it into two pieces.

The scalding blood splashed all over Hua Xiong's face, he wiped off the blood on his face, looked at Zhang Xiu and laughed grinningly: "Little Zhang Xiu, hurry up and die!"

Zhang Xiu looked embarrassed, he was very clear in his heart, killing Quan Zhi with one attack, and Ding Mao with two attacks, even if it was him, he was not capable.But according to the information they got before, Su Gu didn't have a powerful person named 'Hua Xiong' under his command.

"Why, no one came?"

Lu Bu didn't call back to the city, Hua Xiong continued to provoke.

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu looked at each other, and they both looked at the general at the top of the wall, feeling an extremely bad premonition in their hearts.

Could it be that the general in the city is really Lu Bu?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu withdrew their troops for the time being, and retreated five miles to the village.

In the afternoon, in Nanzhengcheng County Guard's Mansion, Lu Bu was discussing with Chen Gong the next related matters.

Now that Su Gu is dead, Lu Bu's trip is considered to have achieved his goal. Hanzhong County needs a new sheriff, but the selection of the sheriff has become a headache for Lu Bu.

The mountains in Hanzhong are high and the emperor is far away, and the Qinling Mountains are separated from Chang'an, so it is difficult to communicate with each other.To govern Guanzhong, it is best to use local officials to govern the local area like Xiliang did, which is the most appropriate.

However, among the officials big and small in Hanzhong County, only Xue Qi had a good impression of Lu Bu.

The only thing that worries Lu Bu is that he has not been able to find Xue Qi's weakness, and if he can't hold him, this kind of person may rebel at any time.

It's like he was still working for Su Gu yesterday, and he can do things for himself immediately today, and he can't guarantee that as soon as Liu Yan comes tomorrow, he can hand over his hands and send him to Hanzhong to join Liu Yan.

What Lu Bu needs is a character who can defend until he leads an army to help even if foreign thieves invade.People like Song Xian and Pan Feng under his command are fine as city guards, but it is not suitable for them to be county guards and manage one side.

If it doesn't work, Chen Gong can only be allowed to stay in Hanzhong Jinglue temporarily, and then let him replace Chen Gong when there is a suitable candidate at the recruiting hall.

But before going back, we must resolve the worries of Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu in Bashu.

I originally wanted to take Hanzhong in one go and go straight to Bashu, but the plan may have to be shelved for the time being.

The main reason is that Lu Bu underestimated the dangers of the road here and the difficulty of marching.He was able to enter the main pass, which accounted for a large part of luck.

Liu Yan has been operating in Bashu for a long time, and his foundation has gradually stabilized, and he will not be able to conquer it in a short while.What's more, with Lu Bu's current military strength, it is difficult to dispatch a large number of soldiers and horses to Hanzhong.

It is better to wait until Hanzhong is stabilized in the future, or the land of Jingxiang will be opened up in the future, and then attack Liu Yan in Bashu.

As long as Liu Yan doesn't take the initiative to pick things up, let him play around for a few years.

"General, Zhang Xiu sent an envoy to see you." The soldiers outside the gate reported.

Lu Bu, who was dozing off with eyes narrowed slightly, heard this, opened his eyes, and said, "Let him in."

Soon, an assistant officer with the appearance of a literati walked in outside the door. He bowed to Lv Bu in fear and respect, and said, "Your Majesty, the master of the Sima Tent of the Biebu Department, please greet Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu glanced at this person, and asked calmly, "What did Zhang Xiu ask you to do?"

"Returning to Marquis Wen, the two generals Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu didn't know that Marquis Wen was coming to Hanzhong, so they dared to bump into Marquis Wen in the city today, so they held a banquet in the camp and wanted to apologize to Marquis Wen. Special officials came to invite them , Marquis Wen, please honor your face and go to the banquet."

While talking, Zhu Bo watched Lu Bu's expression carefully, for fear that if he was careless, he would offend the right general of the Han Dynasty.

"Since the two of them are so sincere, go back and tell them that the general will be here tonight." Lu Bu said very decisively, without the slightest procrastination.

Seeing that Lu Bu agreed so readily, Zhu Bo breathed a sigh of relief.I thought it would take a lot of effort to invite this great god, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, so Lu Bu agreed.He didn't say much, bowed to bid farewell to Lu Bu, and left the hall.

After Master Bo left, Chen Gong looked worried, and advised: "General, this time is very likely to be a Hongmen banquet set up by Er Zhang, so don't go lightly."

As a counselor under Lu Bu's tent, Chen Gong naturally had to consider Lu Bu's safety in advance.

Lu Bu didn't take this seriously, and his tone showed a little disdain: "They are not the overlords of Chu, and I am not Han Gaozu, the generation of snakes and rats, what are you afraid of! If I don't go, people in the world will laugh at me for being cowardly, Lu Bu?"

Seeing that Lu Bu had made up his mind, Chen Gong stopped persuading him.

Lu Bu went to change his clothes, Chen Gong found Song Xian, and said to him: "General Song, take two thousand horses and set off tonight, hide outside the Shu army stronghold, if there is any movement, rush in and rescue the general."

Lü Bu prided himself on his martial arts, but Chen Gong had no choice but to defend himself. This was his duty.

"Decree." Song Xian clasped his fists in response.

At dusk, at the gate of the Bashu military camp.

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu led a group of generals to stand outside the gate of the village, looking in the direction of Nanzheng City, with anxious expressions on their faces.

"The sun is already setting, why hasn't it come yet?" Zhang Xiu frowned, as if complaining.

The master Bo Macaijun was also here, and he replied: "At that time, Marquis Wen had clearly and unequivocally answered the villain, saying that he would definitely come!"

"Do you want to send someone to remind you?" A certain general behind him whispered.

Zhang Xiu shook his head slightly, suppressing the irritability in his heart: "Wait a little longer."

After a while, the sound of trampling horseshoes came from far and near.
