Liu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Nan Rong probably didn't know. When I asked Duan Duan to come forward, I not only conquered Han Sui, but also Bian Zhang, but Bian Zhang refused me. I didn't think there was any problem, and it was common for not conquering me. But now, I think it's not that simple here." He paused and his face became cold: "I suspect that he had collusion with Zhang Jiao, and the Qiang people in Liangzhou suddenly rebelled, and the scale was so large, it was definitely not without reason."

Fu Xie's face suddenly became very strange: "My lord means that the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou is just the beginning?"

Liu Xiu nodded.

Fu Xie laughed, and he shook his head repeatedly: "General, that's why you're too worried. As far as I know, Taiping Dao preaches in Shandong is not a secret matter, but in Liangzhou, I have never heard of Taiping Dao (second update, please vote!). Is it a different way of preaching in Shandong and Shanxi? It would be too far-fetched to say that this Qiang Rebellion is related to Zhang Jiao."

"Don't you believe it?" Liu Xiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Fu Xie to not believe his inference. After thinking about it, he felt relieved. He knew the slogan of Zhang Jiao Taipingdao's uprising, but Fu Xie didn't know that, so he naturally didn't know the secret revealed by the eight words "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand up."

"I don't believe it." Fu Xie smiled slightly: "The Qiang people do not believe in Taiping Dao, so they cannot join forces with Zhang Jiao."

Liu Xiu did not explain again: "Since that's the case, then Nanrong will wait and see. I believe my judgment will not be wrong. It will take one or two years or six months later. There will definitely be something wrong in Shandong."

Fu Xie curled his lips and looked at him disdainfully. "General, let's talk about the surprise soldiers."

Liu Xiu smiled: "I welcome you very much if you are willing to surrender to Sima. If you are willing to take risks with me, I welcome you too, but I want you to replace me. I cannot accept it."

Fu Xie frowned: "I'm not going to replace the general, but..."

"Don't get it wrong. I don't mean to misunderstand you either." Liu Xiu raised his hand and interrupted Fu Xie's words. "I mean, you're here (the second update, please vote!) Our army is too short to control those rough men. Such secret actions must be absolutely obedient. Once the command is not effective, there is a risk of annihilation."

Fu Xie was a little hesitant.

"Nan Rong. I know you are good at martial arts, and your martial arts are pretty good." Liu Xiu patted his shoulder, "But your martial arts are not convinced by those tiger soldiers."

"Justice's martial arts are enough?" Fu Xie was a little dissatisfied for a moment.

"Why don't we try our hands?" Liu Xiu grinned and stood up. He put one hand behind his back and the other hand to invite Fu Xie. Fu Xie hesitated for a moment, but he could not resist his curiosity. He drew out the long sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and bowed to Liu Xiu: "Please take the weapon by the general."

"No. I'll just use empty hand to play two moves with you." Liu Xiu roughly understood his level when he saw Fu Xie pulling his sword. He didn't need to use weapons. Fu Xie was a little angry. He lowered his face and shook the long sword in his hand: "Then the general should be careful."

"It's okay, just try it." Liu Xiu said confidently.

When Pang De saw this, he was startled and wanted to come forward to stop him but did not dare. He looked at Hao Zhao for help, but Hao Zhao was very calm, "Don't worry, no one in our army can defeat the general." Hao Zhao laughed softly again: "Look carefully, it will be of great benefit to your future martial arts practice."

When Pang De heard this, he immediately became excited, opened his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu without blinking.

Fu Xie called out again, held the sword and stepped forward, twisted his wrist and stabbed it. He did not dare to do his best, for fear of hurting Liu Xiu, and the direction of the stab was only Liu Xiu's legs. Liu Xiu just took one step lightly, and let him fall into vain. Fu Xie rushed forward and stabbed another sword. Liu Xiu easily avoided it. Fu Xie stabbed several swords, and saw that Liu Xiu was very relaxed to avoid it. Only then did he realize that Liu Xiu's martial arts were indeed very good. He no longer held back and used all his skills. The sword light was tremendous, and he stabbed Liu Xiu like a sword.

Liu Xiu once fought with Wang Yue, who was known for his fast swords. Wang Yue stabbed him with thirteen swords in one breath, and finally stabbed him in the corner of his clothes. Although Fu Xie's sword skills were not bad, they were not enough compared to Wang Yue. He made the sword so powerful that he could not get angry, but when he met Liu Xiu, he actually got tired of himself.

Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked with a slight joking question: "Nan Rong, how about it?"

"General is very fast." Fu Xie gasped in dissatisfaction, "But retreat without advancing, defense without attack, it cannot be called a magical technique."

"Is that true?" Liu Xiu blinked, "Then be careful, I'm going to attack."

Fu Xie tightened his hands and set his posture: "Fu Xie is waiting for advice." As soon as he said the word "Fu Xie", Liu Xiu had already jumped forward and raised his hand to hit him. He was startled and raised his arms to pat him, but he felt his wrist numb and his long sword had already lost his hand. Liu Xiu grabbed the sword in his hand, his wrist trembled, and the tip of the sword trembled like a flowery brocade. The sword and sword were not far from Fu Xie's nose, reflecting Fu Xie's eyes shimmering.

Before Fu Xie could react, Liu Xiu had already taken two steps back, pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers, handed the hilt in front of Fu Xie, looking at Fu Xie, smiling without saying a word.

Fu Xie was sweating all over his head, lowered his head in shame, reached out to take the long sword and put it into the sheath. "The general is indeed a wonderful skill."

"It's just a brave man." Liu Xiu waved his hand, "Tan Shihuai's martial arts are several times higher than me, and he was still killed by the hands of a tiger soldier in the end. A person's power is limited after all. Only by concentrating more people's strength can he conquer everything and be invincible."

Fu Xie pulled out his handkerchief from his arms and wiped off the sweat beads from his forehead. After hearing Liu Xiu's words, he also smiled: "Since that's the case, why should the general take risks?"

"It depends on where to use it." Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "Five hundred tiger soldiers, even if they can fight, what effect can they play against tens of thousands of people? But if these five hundred people hide in the dark, seize the opportunity and give a fatal blow, it is completely different. Assassins have the use of assassins, and they cannot be wiped out at all. As far as I know, the imperial court has quelled the Qiang Rebellion several times, recruited people to assassin."

Fu Xie nodded and sighed again: "It's a pity that assassination can only solve the temporary predicament, and he is powerless to completely quell the Qiang Rebellion. Liangzhou is still a mess now."

"This is not something that an assassin can do." Liu Xiu disagreed: "There has never been a solution to all problems in the world. Just like there is no magic pill that can cure all diseases. You must prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease. Nanrong, I want to solve Tianlang now, and the assassin is a very effective medicine. It is guaranteed to be cured by the death."

After hearing this, Fu Xie couldn't help laughing.

...

Fu Xie claimed to be strong and not as weak as Xun You. But when he was awakened by the mountain wind in the middle of the night, he still felt a little regretful, and his eyes looked at the tiger soldiers around him became more awe-inspiring. These rough warriors ran on the mountain road for a day with weapons and dry food on their backs. They were all energetic and simply after dinner. People who were not on duty no matter whether they could sleep or not, they stopped moving when they entered the sleeping bag. Some people quickly snored, and you can imagine that they were sleeping very sweetly. The cold wind in winter nights seemed to have no effect on them.

"I'm awake from the cold?" Liu Xiu walked over from a distance and handed a pot of wine to Fu Xie. "Take a sip and warm your body."

"The general is not asleep yet?" Fu Xie took the wine pot and took a sip. The hot wine rolled down his chest and abdomen, and his body suddenly became a little hot.

"I've slept and am preparing to pay." Liu Xiu smiled gently.

Fu Xie was stunned for a moment. Liu Xiu is now the General of Guard. He is under the Three Dukes and above the Nine Ministers. It would be fine if he led the team to carry out the raid mission, but why did he still stand guard in person? When he thought of the unconditional obedience of the tiger soldiers to Liu Xiu, he couldn't help but sigh in secret. Liu Xiu's prestige among these tiger soldiers was indeed not something he could replace. He believed that even if there was a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of him, as long as Liu Xiu gave the order, these tiger soldiers would not even frown and rushed forward.

"The general is comparable to the famous general of Hanyang County, and the flying general Li Guang." Fu Xie praised sincerely.

"Is Li Guang from Hanyang?" Liu Xiu was a little surprised. Li Guang could be said to be the number one general in the Western Han Dynasty, even surpassing Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Who doesn't know General Li who "the forest is in a dark place to catch the wind, and the general leads the bow at night."

"Yes." Fu Xie sat up against a stone: "Hanyang County was originally Tianshui County, and it was analyzed from Longxi. Cheng Ji, the hometown of Li Guang, is now a county in Hanyang, only a hundred miles away from Jicheng."

"So that's it." Liu Xiu also sat down next to the tree and chatted softly with Fu Xie. Li Guang is a tragic figure. "Feng Tang is old and Li Guang is hard to be granted", which is something that many people regret. "Is there anyone in Cheng Ji's Li family now?"

"It's gone, it's gone long ago." Fu Xie was a little sad: "Since Li Ling surrendered to the Huns, the people of Longxi have been ashamed of the Li family. Even the descendants of the Li family are unwilling to call them his descendants."

Liu Xiu frowned and said nothing. The Li family seemed to have always had tragic characters. When Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, Li Xin was the contrast material for Wang Jian's success. When Li Guang came to Li Huo, it became a tragedy under the shadow of Wei Huo. When Li Ling arrived, it was even more tragic.

"In fact, it is not only the Li family, but most of the military men are just like this. Since Emperor Guangwu used his skills to win scholars, the status of military men has been much worse than that of the previous dynasty." Fu Xie smiled bitterly, "Now those who come to Liangzhou to be officials are mostly Confucian scholars from Shandong. These Confucian scholars are good at cherishing their reputation and not doing evil to the people, but those who are bad are levying heavy taxes, greedy for military pay, expelling the people and Qiang people, and forcing them to rebel, but they transferred him to the post. When the Qiang chaos continues, they will discuss what to abandon Liangzhou. Alas--" Fu Xie said his anger and sighed a long time ago, and could no longer say anything.

"Maring the country in culture and maintaining the country with martial arts is not neglected. Just as people have two hands and legs, it is impossible to lack any one." Liu Xiu sighed quietly. Although his feelings were not as personal as Fu Xie, they were also very profound. He encountered such problems when he ran schools in Jinyang and academies in Chang'an. Those Confucian scholars only had classics of saints in their eyes and had a strong contempt for military studies.

Fu Xie nodded in agreement. He was a little lucky. He originally thought that Liu Xiu was just a slander who was a slander who was to please the emperor, but now he felt that the rumors were wrong. Not to mention the military achievements made by Liu Xiu in Bingzhou, it was not something that ordinary people could do by being able to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. In fact, through ancient times, many people have relied on pleasing the emperor, but they have indeed learned real things and have made immortal contributions. It is just that those who write history are prejudiced and refuse to record their achievements.

...

Under the leadership of Pang De, Liu Xiu and others ran in the vast mountains for three days. On the third night, Pang De excitedly told Liu Xiu: "General, if we cross that mountain, we will see the Qiang camp."

Liu Xiu was also very happy that the extraordinary personal qualities of the tiger soldiers made this action extraordinary and smooth. They arrived at their destination in advance, providing plenty of time for the next action.

Liu Xiu called Xu Qian: "Let everyone pay attention to their hidden whereabouts, release the scouts ten miles away, and try not to conflict with the other party's Qiang people."

Xu Qian agreed with his fists and turned around and left.

"Master Wang, you can work hard tonight. Let's go to the front with Ling Ming to inquire about the Qiang camp." Liu Xiu found Wang Zhi. "Ling Ming is still young, please take care of him more."

"Here." Wang Zhi looked at Pang De with appreciation and waved his head: "Boy, let's go."

Pang De knew that Wang Zhi was a master of Tianshidao. He had excellent sword skills and magical hidden art. Being able to act with him was a very rare opportunity to ask for advice. He quickly followed him excitedly and led the way for Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi followed him for a while. He felt that he was walking too slowly. He reached out and raised Pang De's arm and shouted: "Boy, be careful."

Before he finished speaking, he had already jumped up. Pang De felt a flash in front of him, and a big tree hit him head-on. He was so scared that he almost screamed. Before he could react, Wang Zhi pointed his toes on the tree and then jumped down. He led Pang De to run in the mountains and forests, as fast as a galloping horse. Pang De soon fell in love with this kind of movement. He tried his best to move his legs and ran with Wang Zhi's rhythm. After a period of hard work, he could barely run under Wang Zhi's leadership.

"You can teach me." Wang Zhi looked at him with satisfaction: "Don't hold your breath, don't put too hard, relax."

Pang De nodded vigorously and adjusted his breathing according to Wang Zhi's instructions.

The old and the young were running to teach their teachings and ran for more than ten miles in one breath. Although Pang De was sweating all over, he was not the feeling of exhaustion. Instead, he felt his blood boiling all over and couldn't help but want to roar.

Wang Zhi suddenly glanced and shouted "Be careful". His body had risen from the ground, like a long arrow shot out. Pang De was stunned. He had already felt that Wang Zhi's body movement was incredibly fast when he ran along the way just now. Seeing this scene, he realized that Wang Zhi had not done his best just now.

He glanced at the direction where Wang Zhi was running, saw several figures running among the woods, and quickly took down the bow and arrow from behind and chased after him.

Wang Zhiren was in mid-air, and his sword was unsheathed. The sword light flashed, and he pushed a feather arrow shot out, and threw out the sword with a trembling hand. However, the man rushed to a Qiang man behind the hiding tree, and his palm slapped the man's chest like lightning. The Qiang man shouted wildly and flew backwards, fell to the ground with a loud bang, twitched twice, and stopped moving.

At the same time, Wang Zhi had already pounced on another Qiang man, and his long sword also pierced the chest of a Qiang man archer.

With every move, Wang Zhi showed his might and killed three people in a row. Pang De ran over and shot a Qiang man who was about to attack with one arrow.

"Look for it quickly, if there are any people who missed the net." Wang Zhi regretted it, just because he saw Pang De's good qualifications and rushed on a whim. Unexpectedly, the Qiang people actually put the scouts so far and exposed their whereabouts. If all the Qiang scouts in this team were not killed, the operation would have the possibility of failure.

The two quickly searched within a radius of several meters. After a while, the two gathered again. Pang De's face looked ugly: "Master Taoist, one ran away."

Wang Zhi stomped his feet in regret, turned around and ran towards the highest peak with Pang De.

Among the valleys, the Qiang people's camp is far away.

"Master, what should I do?" Pang De asked worriedly.

"Go back to report to the general, and he will decide whether to advance or retreat." Wang Zhi's old face could not be held back, and he looked at the camp in the distance fiercely: "If the general decides to retreat, I will enter the camp alone and take the life of the bullshit wolf."

Pang De shrank his neck and thought to himself that this old Taoist priest was really violent.

After receiving the reward, Liu Xiu pondered for a while, and finally glanced at Wang Zhi with a guilty look on his face: "Is there really only one person?"

Wang Zhi didn't say anything, Pang De nodded: "General, I'm sure there was only one person escaped. The Qiang people wouldn't have thought that we would attack here. They were routine patrols, otherwise those five people wouldn't have been prepared."

"General, please let me assassinate Tianlang alone and redeem your sins." Wang Zhi said in a hoarse voice.

"Are you alone?" Liu Xiu shook his head: "No, I want to go, so I will go together."

"General?"

"Don't worry, Tianlang will not believe it so easily when one-sided words." Liu Xiu smiled and turned to look at Fu Xie, "Nan Rong, if you were Tianlang, would you believe it?"

Fu Xie locked his eyebrows and thought about it carefully for a while, "The possibility is not high."

"That's it. We still have a chance." Liu Xiu patted Wang Zhi's shoulder, "Don't show off his skills anymore. If you have this energy, you can use it when you see the Tianlang."

Wang Zhi felt ashamed and quickly bowed to the point.

Liu Xiu ordered the entire army to start and immediately march towards the Qiang camp in the light of the sky before dawn.

...

Tianlang stared at his eyes full of booze. He looked at the scout kneeling in front of him and grinned. He wanted to smile but couldn't laugh. He reached out and took the wine pot from a half-naked Qiang girl, gushed and rinsed, and slurped in his mouth. He raised his neck and swallowed it. Then he cursed: "Which mountain nest is your mother sleeping in? Is it a dream that Tang Shu (the Qiang people call ghost Tang Shu) in the mountains? When he runs, he doesn't touch the ground. Is that a human or a god?"

"Master?!" The scout raised his pale face and stared at his eyes that were more white than black. He was about to argue, but Tianlang glared fiercely and swallowed the words back. He thought about the situation desperately, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but wonder if he had really encountered monsters and monsters in the mountains. How could a person fly?

"Did you think it clearly?" Tianlang saw the suspicious look on his face, and was even more sure of his guess. He stroked his chest, grabbed his messy chest hair, and curled his lips: "It's only been four days since Liu Xiu arrived in Jicheng. Even if he wanted to sneak attack me from Nanshan, he wouldn't have come so quickly. Do you think he really knows how to fly? He is not the flying general Li Guang. Besides, Li Guang is not really good at flying, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by the Huns."

"Master?" The scout was completely confused. The fear and desperate running of the night not only made his physical strength reach the limit, but also made his spirit on the verge of collapse. After being questioned by Tianlang, he did not dare to persevere anymore. He stood there stupidly, doing his last bit of strength to prevent himself from falling in front of Tianlang.

"Get out!" Tianlang saw his shaking and might fall down at any time, and was even more angry. He kicked him out, and then he hummed back to the tent and cursed: "Damn it, I don't know if I'm stuck on the belly of a slut, and my legs couldn't stand firm. He dared to run to me and talk nonsense."
To be continued...
