The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The arm separated from Sun Yang's body in an instant, bleeding profusely, Sun Yang didn't even have time to let out a scream, and saw Gan Ning slashing at Sun Yang's body with a knife.

The whole process happened very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning landed on Sun Yang's body.

And it hit Sun Yang's throat, and directly killed Sun Yang, the leader of the horse thief.

When Sun Yang died, he didn't even understand why these brothers behind him suddenly turned against him and put him to death.

Of course, he didn't need to know, and the one who also felt extremely surprised was the young man standing at the gate of the house, looking at Liu Zheng, Gan Ning and others.

This young man is already ready for one against three, or even more.

But he was just about to launch an offensive, but a dramatic incident happened in front of him.

That horse thief leader was killed by his own men?

The young man was stunned for a moment, but he recovered quickly.

"you"

Seeing that Liu Zheng and Gan Ning did not continue to attack him after killing the horse thief, he was also curious at this time, and asked a question, wanting to know what Liu Zheng meant.

Liu Zheng turned his head, glanced at the young man, and then at the house behind him. When the words "Tai Shi Fu" were written in black ink on the plaque in the middle of the house, Liu Zheng's expression shook.

Only then did I realize what I was thinking at first.

Taishi.

The word Taishi, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, actually represents an official position, Taishi Gong.Generally, there are three generations of historians. In the Qin Dynasty, it was called Taishi Ling, and later it was changed to Taichang in the Han Dynasty.

But in the Three Kingdoms period, when the word Taishi was used, Liu Zheng only knew one general, Taishici.

And in his impression, it seems that Tai Shici is from Qingzhou. Now here, seeing this young man who is good at archery and martial arts is surprising. The person in front of him is indistinguishable, he is Tai Shici.

Liu Zheng stared at the young man in front of him, and looked at Tai Shici carefully again. If you want to say that Tai Shici is handsome, he is not, but he is in his early twenties, tall, with powerful arms and strong muscles, which is true. , you can tell by looking at the appearance that he is a fierce general.

"This strong man, don't panic, we are the official army, and we sneaked into such horse thieves just to annihilate them!"

Liu Zheng knew that Tai Shici was a small official in the county, so in order to stabilize Tai Shici, he did not say that he was a traitor, but that he was an official soldier.

"Oh, that's how it is. That's great. I'm still worrying about how these horse thieves can resist. Now that I have you, it's great."

After Tai Shici heard Liu Zheng's words, a smile appeared on his face immediately. He didn't doubt Liu Zheng's identity. After all, Liu Zheng didn't hesitate at all, and he killed Sun Yang with one knife. Sun Yang is a gang of horse thieves.

And there is no need for Liu Zheng to lie to him, after all Tai Shici is not a high-ranking official, and there is no benefit in lying to him.

After Liu Zheng chatted with Tai Shi Citao for a few words, he immediately ordered his thirty or so subordinates to fight back against these horse thieves.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai each led a dozen men and began to rush to the gate of the city to clean up the horse thieves. Liu Zheng and Tai Shici were not idle either, and joined hands to attack. Liu Zheng rode over to fight and Tai Shici obviously could ride a horse , he jumped up, turned on Sun Yang's previous horse, and then followed Liu Zheng to attack these horse thieves.

Liu Zheng and others fought in close combat, while Tai Shici used the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot from a distance.

Those horse thieves were busy robbing and killing people, and even occasionally set fire to them. Even if Liu Zheng killed Sun Yang, not many people would know about it in a while, and those who knew were all killed by Liu Zheng.

In the chaotic environment, few people knew that Liu Zheng was riding a war horse, but he was not one of them. When Liu Zheng approached, he suddenly turned against him and killed many horse thieves.

Half an hour later, the voices of some people and horses came from the formation outside the city. It was Liu Zheng's thousand sailors who had arrived.

With the arrival of these navy troops, it will be easier for Liu Zheng to block the gates and surround the entire Huang County to prevent those horse thieves from breaking out of the county, and Liu Zheng has been chasing and killing horse thieves. , but almost killed.

An hour later, there were actually not many horse thieves in the city. Even if a few were still alive, they would not know where they were for a while, but the incident in the city was not over yet. Many wounded needed medical treatment, and some were set on fire by horse thieves The house also needs to be saved.

Liu Zheng actually wanted to leave. Originally, his plan was to steal the horse thief's horse and run away, but at this time he saw Tai Shici and learned about the existence of this famous general. Liu Zheng wanted to leave like this. I'm also embarrassed, so I just pretended to be a good person and brought my own thousand sailors to fight here.

After working until midnight, the fire in Huang County was brought under control and the battlefield was cleaned at the same time.

Of the more than 700 horse thieves, only 600 were found. During the melee, some horse thieves escaped. Of the 600 horses, only 500 survived. Some were killed or injured during the battle, and some were surprised by the flames and ran away.

These war horses were confiscated by Liu Zheng, and after the fighting subsided, Liu Zheng was about to leave, but Tai Shici looked at the sky and saw that it was already midnight, so he invited Liu Zheng to stay in Huang County for the night.

"Brother Liu, I think you should stay. It's so late, it's not safe for you to leave now. Stay here with a friend to take care of you, and I'm also worried that these horse thieves have other helpers in case they attack again."

Tai Shici and Liu Zheng fought side by side, so they knew each other.There is nothing embarrassing about communicating with Liu Zheng.

Chapter 385 Talking at night while holding a candle

By this time, Tai Shici was even more convinced that Liu Zheng and his group were all officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Not only helped these county soldiers in Huang County clean up all the horse thieves who came, but also helped them extinguish the burning flames in the city afterwards.

The deep friendship formed by fighting side by side is reflected at this time.

In fact, Liu Zheng is not particularly willing to stay in this Huang County. After all, their real identity is a gang of rebels in Jiaozhou. Although Qingzhou is far away from the Central Plains controlled by the imperial court, after all, Qingzhou is still under the control of the imperial court at this time. below the range.

If the identities of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses were known by the people in the court, I am afraid that a tragic fight would still be unavoidable, and Liu Zheng has only a thousand soldiers and horses around him at this time, so if he really fights with the people in the court, he will not win or lose. It's easy to say, even if you run, you will have nowhere to run.

But Tai Shici's invitation was hard to refuse.

In addition, Liu Zheng did have some interest in Taishi Ci and wanted to take him under his command, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Then we'd rather be respectful than obedient, and stay here in Huang County for a night."

Hearing that Liu Zheng agreed to stay, Tai Shici immediately beamed with joy, and then directly invited Liu Zheng, Gan Ning and others to visit Tai Shici's home.

Liu Zhengzheng wanted to promote a relationship with Tai Shici, so he would naturally not refuse Tai Shici's invitation.

So he agreed right away, Taishi Mansion is on the main street of Huangxian County, after all, Taishi Ci is quite well-known in Huangxian County, and his family is in decline.

The lights in the courtyard had already been turned on at this time, such a big event had happened in Huang County, and there was a lot of noise outside, even if Tai Shici's family had fallen asleep at first, they would definitely be woken up by the horse thief attacking the city.

Liu Zheng followed Tai Shici into the mansion, and a beautiful woman walked towards him.

The woman looked to be in her 30s, the sexiest age for a woman, but she was dressed plainly and behaved dignifiedly, she didn't look like a rogue at first glance.

"mother."

As soon as he saw the woman, Tai Shici took the initiative to open his mouth and called out to the woman. The woman's face was still a bit worried, but when she heard Tai Shici's call, the worried expression on her face disappeared immediately and was replaced by What was shown was a smile.

"Ci'er, it's good that you're fine. There was a lot of chaos outside just now, and I don't know what happened. Go out and check. I'm still a little worried about your safety."

"Don't worry, mother, don't you know my skills?"

Tai Shici doesn't seem to care about women's concern, but there is a mother in this world who doesn't worry about her son, even if she knows that Tai Shici's martial arts are good, but in this dark time, go out to fight those enemies , will definitely be worried.

"These are"

At this time, the woman saw that her son had returned safely, and her heart had settled down, so she shifted her gaze to Liu Zheng, Gan Ning and his party beside her.

For Liu Zheng and others, the woman had never seen them before, so she had such a surprised look on her face at this time.

Their family has lived in Huang County for a long time, and they know the people in this small county of Huang County. Liu Zheng and others don't look like local people, so the woman is curious.

"Mother, this is Master Liu. Thanks to Master Liu, we were able to repel those horse thieves this time."

Tai Shici immediately introduced Liu Zheng to his mother, but he didn't know Liu Zheng's full name, he just knew that Liu Zheng's surname was Liu, and he was an officer, able to command more than 1000 soldiers, and his official position was definitely not low, so Tai Shici would call him Master Liu.

The beautiful woman didn't worry too much, she just smiled and thanked Liu Zheng together with Tai Shici, and then invited Liu Zheng and others into the courtyard.

Let Tai Shici, Liu Zheng and others chat in the room for a while, and he went to tidy up the guest room, and arranged for Liu Zheng and others to rest here today.

After all, Tai Shici's house seldom had guests. Although there were some guest rooms, if they hadn't been cleaned for a long time, there would still be some dust. The woman was embarrassed to lead Liu Zheng to the room directly.

At the same time, Tai Shici asked the maid to present some pastries, and began to ask Liu Zheng how they got mixed up with those horse thieves.Tai Shici also said that if Liu Zheng and the others hadn't turned against the water suddenly and killed the horse thief, he would have thought that Liu Zheng and the others were horse thieves.

Liu Zheng smiled. Of course he couldn't say that he was from Jiaozhou. When he passed by, he originally wanted to catch the attention of their horses.

Liu Zheng can only say that he has devoted himself to tracking down these horse thieves for a long time, and has been sending people to infiltrate these horse thieves as spies. These days, after learning that these horse thieves are going to attack the county, he uses troops to encircle and suppress these horse thieves.

He also pretended to be sorry, saying that the soldiers and horses under his command did not arrive before these horse thieves attacked the city, and he was sorry for the people of Huang County. If they hadn't come late, Huang County wouldn't have to suffer like this tonight. doomed.

"Then Master Liu, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Tai Shici was quite concerned about Liu Zheng's whereabouts.

"Well, since there is nothing wrong here in Huang County, I will naturally leave. I still have things to go to Liaodong."

Liu Zheng told Tai Shici about his upcoming itinerary.

But as soon as the word Liaodong was said, Tai Shici's expression changed accordingly.

"Are you going to Liaodong too?"

Tai Shici asked in surprise.

"What does it mean to go too? It's difficult for Ziyi and Tai Shici to go too?"

Liu Zheng was a little surprised by what Tai Shici said, he didn't expect Tai Shici to say such a thing.

"I do have this plan. In fact, I am going home this time to say goodbye to my mother."

"Farewell? Ziyi, did you do something wrong?"

Liu Zheng looked at Tai Shici suspiciously, and at the same time thought carefully in his heart, did Tai Shici commit any crimes in history?

This, Liu Zheng is really not clear, he is not an encyclopedia, how can he remember so much, it would be nice to know that Tai Shici was a powerful general in the Three Kingdoms period, how can he remember what Tai Shici did in his life? .

The only thing he has an impression of Tai Shici is that when Tai Shici, the prefect of Beihai, Kong Rong was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army, it was Tai Shici who came out to rescue Kong Rong and found the three Liu Bei brothers.

Liu Zheng really doesn't know much about other things.

"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't commit a crime. I just offended some people who shouldn't be offended. The other party is too powerful. I really can't afford to offend them. I can only go out to avoid disaster."

Chapter 386 To Avoid Misfortune Liaodong

When Liu Zheng heard Tai Shici's description, he became even more interested, and became more curious about what Tai Shici said.

"Ziyi, who have you offended? Can you tell me?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously, but Tai Shici was honest and felt that there was nothing shameful, so he immediately explained to Liu Zheng.

"It's not a big deal. I'm a senior official in Donglai County. I don't have any important official positions. I usually just run errands and deliver official documents."

"Huh? Go on."

"Recently, the prestige of the imperial court has been getting smaller and smaller, and the conflict between the prefect of Donglai and the governor of Qingzhou has also become more and more serious. The governor of Qingzhou wants to recruit troops and dispatch troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army in the surrounding areas. Don't pay attention to the new governor and ignore their orders."

"The conflict between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, but after all, they are still officials of the imperial court. Officials above the prefect can only be appointed by the imperial court, so the governor of Qingzhou decided to go to Luoyang to file a complaint. He wanted the imperial court to abolish the prefect of Donglai. After our prefect knew , how can I be reconciled, so I drafted the document overnight and asked me to send it to Luoyang, planning to file a complaint first and bite back."

Tai Shici continued, this kind of fight between the prefect and the governor, and their errands, of course, are not qualified to intervene, they can only do things for their superiors with peace of mind.

When Tai Shici took the eunuch's papers and rushed to Luoyang in the starry night, he was still a step late, and the envoy from Qingzhou Governor's side had already arrived one step ahead of time.

Seeing everyone queuing up and preparing to deliver documents, Tai Shici had a quick wit and thought of a bad move.

He changed himself, pretending that he was an official in Luoyang, walked up to the envoy sent by the governor of Qingzhou, and directly asked if the envoy from the governor of Qingzhou was here to deliver the documents.

The envoy from Qingzhou had never seen the style of the officials in the capital. When asked, he quickly said yes, and Tai Shici directly asked for the documents.

The envoy was also stunned, and unexpectedly handed over the document to Tai Shici without thinking.

After Tai Shici got the document, he immediately chopped the document into several sections.

The envoy of the governor of Qingzhou realized that he had been duped, and screamed angrily, and prepared to fight Tai Shici with his life.

What strength does Tai Shici have, he held that person down immediately.

Then he stopped the envoy from making noise, and bit the other party back, the document was destroyed, this is a serious crime that lost his head, and the envoy was furious, it was all Tai Shici's fault.

But Tai Shici showed his ability to fool, saying that he could not be blamed for this matter, but that the emissary himself was not careful enough, and now that he lost the document, he would be punished with death.

So simply, let's run for our lives together.

The envoy was taken aback for a moment, he lost his documents, Tai Shici should be very proud, why should he run away together.

Tai Shici pretended that he was not here to deliver the documents, but to see if the envoys came. Destroying the documents was his arbitrariness, and if he spread them out, he was also a death penalty, so naturally he wanted to escape together.

When the emissary heard it, he also felt that it made sense, so he joined forces with Tai Shici and ran out of Luoyang.

Tai Shici waited for the envoy's chariot and horse to leave before returning, and then presented the document handed over to him by the governor of Donglai.

In the following, there was no suspense about the matter. The former governor of Qingzhou was abolished by the court, and Huang Wan was appointed as Qingzhou pastor to continue to be in charge of Qingzhou.

And when this matter was revealed, the former governor of Qingzhou naturally understood that it was Tai Shici who was behind it.

The governor of Qingzhou couldn't deal with a Donglai prefect, but it was very simple to deal with a Tai Shici, so the Donglai prefect asked Tai Shici to go out to avoid disaster for a while, so as not to be caught by that person and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Tai Shici didn't want to leave, but when he thought of the huge power of Qingzhou governor, he could only agree to leave.

The next thing was to return to Huang County, intending to see his mother for the last time, and planned to leave the next day. Who knew that there would be such a thing as a horse thief attacking the city again.

I met Liu Zheng again.

"The governor of Qingzhou is really a small-minded person, but that kind of big man is also such a person. After all, if their minds are big enough, they won't still be in such a position."

"Yeah, I also wanted to go to Liaodong to avoid disaster because of this willingness. In fact, it is not safe to go to Liaodong. I heard that a group of Karasuma people are making trouble recently."
