The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"So, does this district star really have some strength?"

After hearing Su Fei's introduction, Liu Zheng nodded again.

In fact, Liu Zheng himself has heard of such a character as Ou Xing.

It's not that Liu Zheng knows much about Ou Xing, but that in a certain Three Kingdoms game, Ou Xing is one of the bandit forces.

Liu Zheng's understanding of him means that he is a bandit, and his strength is not bad. In history, it seems that when Sun Jian was the prefect of Changsha, he rebelled and led tens of thousands of troops to attack the city.

It's a pity that the strength is not strong enough. In just one month, more than [-] people were suppressed by Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger.

Then it got cold.

Now, as soon as Liu Zheng appeared in Yichun County, the first trouble he encountered was the district star.

This person raised his troops to rebel probably two or three years later, but now, the accumulated strength must be very strong. Although Liu Zheng has more than [-] soldiers and horses, Ou Xing occupied Mingyue Mountain in advance, which has the advantage of geographical location , really want to attack down, is not an easy task.

"Hearing what you said, the strength of this district star is indeed very strong. It is not so easy to deal with him."

"Shuai Qu, since everyone is fighting against the imperial court, why do you want to kill each other? Why don't you offer a letter of worship, meet with the star in that district, and talk about it. If he doesn't want to be with us, he won't use his sword anymore late."

Xu Huang could take it easy, he didn't want to make Ou Xing an enemy as soon as he opened this place, after all, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.

It is also a good way to come to a ceremony first and then a soldier.

"Well, what Brother Xu Huang said is true. Let's come here to be a soldier first, and lead people to camp in a secret place outside Yichun County, and then send people to send greeting cards to Ou Xing. We agreed to meet him tomorrow."

During the exchange between Zhou Cang, Su Fei and the others, Liu Zheng thought of a way for the time being, instead of taking someone to call him directly, he decided to take him to meet Ou Xing first.

Chapter 149 The Old Nest in the Mountain Stream

Day two.

After Liu Zheng settled his soldiers and horses, he took a few of his men and headed towards the location of Mingyue Mountain that Zhou Cang had found before, intending to pay a visit to Ou Xing.

The location of Ou Xing's lair is exactly in the mountain range that Liu Zheng told Zhou Cang before.

About sixty miles away from Yichun County, there is no official road leading to it. If you want to go there, you can only go through a winding path, which is difficult to reach directly.

In addition, the road is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to walk. Most of the time, more people go to that place and go up the river in small boats.

In this way, the arrival time can be greatly shortened, and Yichun County is also built with water. This water area called Yuan River can directly lead to Ou Xing's old nest. Land routes are well developed.

Liu Zheng and others found a boatman to get a small boat, took Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong and Su Fei with them, and a group of dozens of people found a boatman who was familiar with the vicinity of Yichun County to lead the way to Ou Xing's old lair .

The boat floated on the Yuan River, advancing slowly, and it took about an hour.The boatman sailed the boat to a small ferry.

There are some remaining ships on the ferry, and it is vaguely known that there are people staying here.

"Here, you go down from here and walk along this path to the mountain. It takes about a cup of tea to reach the cottage."

Liu Zheng originally planned to let the boatman take Liu Zheng and others into the mountains to find Ou Xing's lair, but no matter what Liu Zheng said, the boatman refused to go. He was afraid of Ou Xing's name and dared not go up the mountain .

After repeated persuasion, the boatman was unwilling to go, so Liu Zheng had no choice but to give up, and then took his men and horses, along the road the boatman said, and started walking all the way up the mountains.

When the ship arrived here, it was actually impossible to move forward.

The water poured down from the lake above, and it was so fast that boats could not pass through the river directly. Liu Zheng's people could only walk, along the path along the river bank, to the mountains.

It didn't take long to see some relatively simple village buildings.A wooden arrow tower similar to a house number appeared in front of Liu Zheng and others.

Three or five guards on duty came out from the inside, and when they saw Liu Zheng's people, they immediately questioned them.

The words spoken by these people are not like the official words of the Han court, but more like some local dialects, which are difficult to understand.

After all, in areas such as Changsha and Yuzhang, each village has a different dialect.Even if you find an old man who knows countless dialects here, you can't understand all the dialects, you can only understand what they say roughly.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng is different. He is from here himself, but he just traveled here after 2000.

I can still understand what these guards said.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you know where this is?"

Three or five guards immediately gathered up, all holding sharp weapons in their hands, and their menacing appearance immediately caused the two sides to be at war with each other.

Zhou Cang Xu Huang who was beside Liu Zheng immediately guarded Liu Zheng.

But Liu Zheng immediately stepped forward and pushed away the swords of Xu Huang and Zhou Cang's guards, then smiled and said something to the guards in front of him.

"Brothers, don't be nervous. My name is Liu Zheng. I sent someone over yesterday to hand over the greeting card. I want to ask to see your leader, Ou Xing. I'll go in and let you know."

Liu Zheng felt a sense of intimacy when he heard the dialect spoken by these people.So my attitude towards them is quite kind, and I also used my little knowledge of dialect to chat with them.

At the same time, the dialect that Liu Zheng revealed immediately surprised the guards, and then they lowered their guard a little bit, put away their swords, and responded to Liu Zheng.

"You wait here, we will go in and report."

Not long after, a few more ornately dressed soldiers and horses came out of the inside, and came in front of Liu Zheng and others.

"Our leader has heard the name of Liu Zheng and Qu Shuai for a long time. We welcome Qu Shuai to visit us. He is a bit negligent and hopes to make amends. Our leader has prepared drinks inside, please."

A literati in Confucian robes came out with a smile, apologizing to Liu Zheng.Then he opened his mouth and led Liu Zheng into the cottage.

Liu Zheng didn't see Ou Xing, it was just Ou Xing's counselor who came out to greet him. His first impression of Ou Xing was not very good.

If Ou Xing really welcomed him, he would definitely come out to greet him in person, so only one counselor from his sect was sent over, which shows that Ou Xing didn't really welcome Liu Zheng, but he had to send someone over because of face. Check out Liu Zheng's tone, and don't know what Liu Zheng is doing in his territory.

Liu Zheng knew well that his attitude towards Ou Xing had become a lot colder, but he didn't show it at this time.

Under the leadership of the counselor, he began to walk up the mountainside along a gravel road among the mountains.

Ou Xing's lair was built halfway up the mountain. In this area of ​​a high mountain, among the mountains and ravines, there is only one path to go up the mountain, so it is a good place.

Liu Zheng is a local, and he is quite familiar with some of the local environment, but after all, it is the environment after 2000, which is very different from the primitive forest two thousand years ago. The subordinates often clean it up, but it is still lush and difficult to clean up.

The vicinity of Yichun County has always been a place favored by Taoists since the end of the Han Dynasty. Not only near Yichun, but also in the entire Yuzhang County, there are many monks who believe in Taoism. Those monks established Taoist temples in various deep mountains.

For example, Longhu Mountain and Sanqing Mountain in Yuzhang County are all among the mountains. The Mingyue Mountain where Ou Xing is located is also located in a remote place.

Along the path on the mountainside, after a short walk, a small flat mountain building appeared, with seven or eight houses built of bricks and stones appearing here, and a relatively large hall like the Juyi Hall in the epee , there seemed to be vague figures coming and going.

The counselor also guided Liu Zheng and the others to start walking towards the room with the heavy sword.

Soon, Liu Zheng approached the room. The room was not very bright, and there were some tables and chairs. On a wooden chair in the center, there were some animal skins. A big shirtless man was half lying on it. Next to it, there are two maidservants fanning the air to cool off.

It's the end of August, and it's the hottest time of summer. Although the Mingyue Mountain is warm in winter and cool in summer, it can't stand the scorching sun, and it still makes people feel steamy.

1 Chapter Fifty

Liu Zheng followed the counselor into the hall, and when he saw the man lying on the chair, he immediately recognized that this man was Ou Xing.

Ou Xing, at first glance, looks like he is big and thick, but from the sharp edges and corners of his body, he can know that his own martial arts must be extraordinary, otherwise he would not be the leader of this generation of Shanyue people.

At this time, the Shanyue people's cultural level can be imagined, and they are not very advanced. Those who can become leaders are all strong in their own strength, just like the leaders of the Nanman, Meng Huo, Sha Moke and others.

As soon as Liu Zheng came in, before he could talk to Ou Xing, Ou Xing had already spoken first.

"Which one of you is Liu Zheng?"

Ou Xing opened his eyes, looked at Liu Zheng and his party, but didn't look carefully.

Didn't even bother to take a closer look.

Before Liu Zheng said much, the Confucian scholars on the other side continued to explain to Ou Xing.

"Boss, this is Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng's prestige as commander-in-chief is very powerful. He killed Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, and he is also the commander-in-chief of Runan County in the Yellow Turban Army. If we can join forces with Liu Zheng and commander-in-chief, we will surely It is not a problem to be able to overthrow the imperial court in one fell swoop and occupy the four Jingnan counties!"

The counselor seemed to be quite interested in Liu Zheng, so he hurriedly explained to Ou Xing.

Ou Xing didn't pay attention to what he said as a counselor, and waved his hand to tell him not to continue talking.

"Okay, okay, I know, I've heard of Liu Zheng's name, didn't he kill that bastard Qin Jie, do you think this king can't do it, if Qin Jie didn't die early, my king You can also kill that bastard a thousand times, hum."

On the way here, Liu Zheng once heard from Su Fei that Ou Xing had been making trouble around Changsha County for a long time. He refused to obey the court's discipline and did not pay the king's tax. , once joined hands with Huan Sheng, the prefect of Changsha County, to plan to wipe out Qu Xing.

But a lair where Ou Xing could not be found, almost sending troops to encircle Ou Xing was a disappointment, and did not really destroy Ou Xing, but because of this, it also became enemies with Ou Xing.

Originally, Liu Zheng defeated Qin Jie, because he said it would make Ou Xing treat Liu Zheng better, but Ou Xing originally planned to kill Qin Jie by himself, but was snatched by Liu Zheng. Attitude can't get any better.

Thinking of these things in Liu Zheng's mind, his impression of Ou Xing dropped a lot again, and he had already reduced Ou Xing to a position of incomprehensibility in his heart.

Working with such a person will only ruin your own big business.

"Sir, there is nothing wrong with what you said before, but there is one sentence that is wrong. Now I am no longer the commander of the Yellow Turban Army Runan Daqu. The Yellow Turban Army lost the battle in Jizhou, General Tiangong was killed, and the Yellow Turban Army was divided. Collapsing, I also quit the Yellow Turban Army, and now I am not a member of the Yellow Turban Army, but just an outlaw fighting for myself."

Although Liu Zheng didn't have a good impression of Ou Xing, he still had a good impression of the counselor who led him up the mountain, so he immediately revealed his identity. He came to find Ou Xing this time, not on behalf of the Yellow Turban Army of.

But I came here in my own name.

"It's not representing the Yellow Turban Army, so why are you here?"

Ou Xing frowned, and immediately asked.

"The Yellow Turban Army's uprising failed. In order to preserve the soldiers and horses under my command, I had no choice but to leave the Central Plains and go south to avoid disaster for the time being."

Liu Zheng pondered for a while, and said something to Ou Xing.

But Liu Zheng had just finished speaking, but Ou Xing immediately showed a hint of sarcasm.

"Oh, it turned out to be a bereaved dog. I came to Mingyue Mountain and wanted to make a living. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Although my Mingyue Mountain has a large land and rich resources, and it is backed by the waters of Poyang Lake, it can only accommodate these boys under my command." , your men and horses, stay wherever it is cool."

"However, if you want to take refuge in me and join my command, then I can also consider letting you make a living in my territory."

Ou Xing first forced Liu Zheng to say something with a displeased expression, but then he remembered something, and immediately relaxed his tone.

It is said that if Liu Zheng is willing to join his subordinates, Liu Zheng can make a living in this area.

Liu Zheng didn't say much when Ou Xing spoke from the beginning to the end, but kept a smile on his face.But after hearing what Ou Xing said in his heart, the last bit of affection for Ou Xing disappeared.

Seeing Liu Zheng's face became a little embarrassed, the counselor on the side hurriedly spoke again and shouted at Ou Xing.

"Boss, no, Liu Zhengqushuai and the others are in trouble at this time. We should give a lot of help and win them over. After all, you plan to raise troops to attack Changsha County next year. With the help of Liu Zhengqushuai and the others, you will be able to do so in one fell swoop." Success."

After hearing Ou Xing's words to Liu Zheng, the counselor knew that Ou Xing's attitude would definitely offend Liu Zheng, and it would be bad if the two sides had an unpleasant quarrel.

Originally, the counselor still hoped that Liu Zheng could cooperate with Ou Xing to deal with the imperial court together.

At this time, Liu Zheng also heard what the counselor said, that next year he will raise his troops to attack Changsha County, and the historical Ou Xing will indeed raise his troops to attack Changsha County.

However, after only a month of trouble, he was wiped out by Sun Jian, the newly appointed prefect of Changsha County by the court.

It is conceivable that Ou Xing's reputation is just in vain. Seeing him like this, Liu Zheng knew that it was normal for him to be eliminated by Sun Jian.

"Since the leader of the district star does not welcome me, I will take my leave."

Liu Zheng didn't wait for Ou Xing to say more, and said goodbye immediately.

He came here this time, and he was only thinking of the ceremony before the soldiers. If he could talk, he would discuss cooperation with Ou Xing and let his troops settle down in Ou Xing's territory.

Liu Zheng is also willing to cooperate with Ou Xing. After all, Ou Xing's subordinates are somewhat soldiers. Although they are not as good as Zhao Hong's remnants of the Yellow Turbans, they are more or less a small force with some people. Together, they are also a force.

But judging from Ou Xing's appearance, this is not an agreement.

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and planned to leave with his people.

When the counselor saw it, he became anxious immediately.

"Liu Zhengqu is handsome, Liu Zhengqu is handsome, don't worry, don't rush to leave."

Liu Zheng took two steps, turned his head to glance at the counselor, then at Ou Xing again, and left a word.

"It's useless to talk too much if you don't speculate."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zheng left from the hall, but before he could say a few words, he was scolded by Ou Xing.

"Stop! What kind of place do you think I am here? Do you come and leave whenever you want?"

Chapter 151 Leave

Ou Xing was also irritated by Liu Zheng's attitude. He was used to being the king of the mountain, and he had never met such a person who dared to disobey him.

Stretching out their hands, some guards standing in the hall immediately moved towards Liu Zheng, as if they were planning to forcibly keep Liu Zheng and others behind.

Liu Zheng turned his head to look at Ou Xing, with a sneer on his face, he dared to bring someone here alone to Xing's lair in Mingyue Mountain, so why was he not sure?

Several of the most powerful generals around him were brought here, whether it was Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, or Zhou Cang, they were all stronger than Ou Xing.

So Liu Zheng simply dismissed it and walked out.

"Stop them!"

As soon as Ou Xing saw Liu Zheng, he ignored him at all.
