Chapter 227: Reunited after a long absence, never knew each other

In Luoyang City, in the Shangshu Xingtai Administration, Li Mi offered advice to King Yang Zhao, the King of Henan, to use the "Copper Cutle" plan to attack the Gaomen clans in Luoyang, kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and eliminate the possibility of Yang Su and these Shandong Gaomen who were dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty. The ones at the forefront were the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the five surnames and seven families, known as the seven families of the five surnames, including Boling Cui, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Taiyuan Wang, etc.

Xingyang was when Xiang Yu and Liu Bang signed an alliance with each other and demarcated the east of the "Chu River and Han Border". Not far to the west was Sishui County. This Sishui County was called Chenggao in ancient times. According to legend, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the emperor, King Mu of Zhou, once kept tigers that were tributed by the princes, so it was also called Hulao. The terrain here is steep and the position is conspicuous. It is known as "the two capitals are tied and the three Qins are throated". It is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and ridges intertwined, which is a natural danger. It has the momentum of "one man is at the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open", and has been the gateway of Luoyang since ancient times. Therefore, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all dynasties have built passes here and guarded it throughout the ages - that is the famous Hulao Pass.

It is said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, led his troops to Luoyang. Because the deposed Shao Emperor and changed the establishment of King Xie of Chenliu - later Emperor Xian of Han - was angered the princes of the world. The eighteen princes, with Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo under the order of Cao Cao. When the troops arrived at Hulao Pass, they first encountered Hua Xiong, the general under Dong Zhuo. After several fierce battles, not only was the famous general Liu Sandao, who was killed, but the unparalleled general Pan Feng, even though he held a god in his hand.

The soldier was "a big axe that was so hungry that it was too thirsty" but was also killed by Hua Xiong. Fortunately, Guan Yu went to fight and killed Hua Xiong with a wine, and avenged the revenge for Wushuang General Pan Feng. Although Hua Xiong left, there was another Wen Hou Lu Fengxian who was "Lu Bu among the people and Red Rabbit among the horses". Under Hulao Pass, Liu, Guan and Zhang fought against Lu Bu together, and they really killed the sky and the earth and the sun and the moon. After this battle, Hulao Pass became more famous in the world and became the only martial arts holy land in the world that could be compared with "one water and the other day".

But the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Whether it is Liu, Guan, Zhang, Sanying, Wenhou, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong, they are all gone. Hundreds of years of world changes, and the romantic figures are still looking at the present day. At this moment, a group of people are slowly moving from the east, showing the passive documents, and successfully crossing Hulao Pass and heading towards the west of Luoyang.

The number of people in this team is not large, only thirty or fifty. However, the horses in the team are all tall and long-legged sporting horses, and the knights on the horse's back are by no means comparable to ordinary people. As they look at them, they naturally reveal a tough temperament that only soldiers who have lived after the rest of their lives. Although they are wearing regular clothes and not wearing armor, these knights are of their own army, and there is no doubt that they are from the army.

The team was composed of two strong and burly young men. The man on the left side had a pair of four-edged gold-robed maces, and the underside was yellow and slim. The leopard head was round, and the left and right cheeks were painted with two blood-red spots, making him look very majestic. The man on the right side was carrying a bamboo-jointed steel whip and stepped on a snow-clad black horse. He was eight feet long, and his skin was dark like cast iron, and his face was even more like charcoal. He was as strong as a lion.

The victory of the evil tiger is even more eye-catching. The two of them led their cavalry to support each other, watching the six directions and listening to each other, and strictly protecting the old man in the middle of the team who had a slightly grayish beard, but still not in the slightest spirit. Beside the old man was a tall, thin, and straight middle-aged man with a beautiful beard. There was a famous boy behind him. He looked very handsome, but he was also a little stupid and seemed not very smart.

The old man was obviously very interested. While pressing the reins, he kept talking about the past and present, and he was talking about the country. He was talking about the "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu" in Hulaoguan. The young man with a little dazed eyes widened and was fascinated by the hearing. When he heard that Lu Bu was finally unable to defeat the three Heroes fighting together and attacked the horse and returned to Hulaoguan for a while, he finally couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Grandpa Wei, Lu Bu is really an amazing hero. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are so despicable. He is not afraid of the three who work together to fight him. He also insists on not calling him helper. When Yao Jin grows up, he must learn from Lu Bu, not Liu, Guan and Zhang."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and praised: "Okay, good boy. Being open and honest, one must have a big heart." He turned around and said to the tall, thin and straight middle-aged man with beautiful beards, "Brother Zhai is really lucky to receive Yao Jin as his apprentice."

The middle-aged man with beautiful beard shook his head repeatedly and said, "Yaojin, a child, has a good personality. Unfortunately, he is not very smart. He teaches him martial arts and always understands it for a long time. He often forgets what he is told to do. What he is wrong, injustice!" He bent his hand and raised his middle fingers, knocked his disciple hard on his head, and scolded him, "Yaojin, how many times have he told you? Your Highness is just a title of King Wei, but he is not surnamed Wei. He can't even remember such a thing, what else can I use to accept you as an apprentice?" His tone was very stern. The young man seemed to be very awe of his master, and he was depressed and dared not say a word again. Seeing his disciple's appearance, the middle-aged man with beautiful beard felt even more angry and cursed more fiercely.

Since the old man was called "King of Wei", of course, he was Yang Shuang, who was the younger brother of his son Yang Jian and was known as the "King of the Mountain". He was originally guarding Dengzhou, Shandong, but this time he received an imperial edict from his brother to go to Luoyang to serve as the chief marching manager. Yang Shuang realized that the situation was serious and immediately selected a group of capable subordinates. He left Dengzhou with light chariots and did not disturb the place along the way. He rushed to Luoyang day and night. In the team, the young man carrying double maces was named Qin, named Qiong, and named Qiong. In the name of the young man carrying double maces was Qin, named Qiong, and named Qiong. In the team, the young man with two maces was named Qin, named Qiong, and named Qiong.

Shubao has the courage of thousands of men and is extremely loyal. In addition, the man with a face that looks like black charcoal has a more surname, Yuchi, his name is Gong, and his courtesy name is Jingde. Although he looks rough and barbaric, he actually thinks in detail. Both of them are extremely rare generals, and Yang Shuang is very eye-catching, so he specially promoted the two of them from the grass and became his two personal guards. When he goes to Luoyang, if there is no accident, Yang Shuang will respectively order them to be the left and right cavalry generals to help him hold the military power of Luoyang tightly.

As for the middle-aged man with beautiful beard, he was a great man from the green forest on Henan Road, named Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang was in the green forest and had a family and country in mind, and was a friend of Yang Shuang. The stupid child was named Cheng Yaojin, and was an orphan. He was accepted as an apprentice by Zhai Rang because of a chance. Although his mind was a little bit unreal, he was better because he was simple in character and could concentrate more when practicing internal skills, so he was a god compared to those of the same age. Zhai Rang believed in the principle of "strict teachers produce high disciples", so he loved this little disciple very much. He always spoke more fiercely to his disciples on weekdays and praised them less.

Cheng Yaojin knew that his master was for his own good, and he was grateful in his heart, so he didn't dare to talk back. On the contrary, Yang Shuang knew Zhai Rangdao's character of being so silly, and he loved Cheng Yaojin very much. Seeing that he was scolded so much, he smiled and persuaded him a few words. After saying that, he couldn't help but feel: "Brother Zhai, you must know that life is in this world, but decades have passed on. Thinking about it, Liu Sandao and General Pan Feng were also geniuses in the world, but because they were no successors, they are still unknown. His life achievements and careers have almost been lost and no one knows them. On the contrary, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang have passed on their children and daughters and grandchildren. Even if they don't speak morals and bully the few, their reputation can be passed down through the ages. It's really unfair."

King Wei charged forward and was invincible, and was listed as one of the "Nine Elders of Xingsui". However, because he was a member of the Yang clan, in order to avoid suspicion, he had never married for many years and had never given birth to a child or a half daughter. Even though he knew each other, he was lonely in old age and had no regrets about it. Seeing his situation, Zhai Rang sighed. However, Yang Shuang was also an older person after all. If he was moved by this, it would definitely not be a good thing. At that moment, Zhai Rang quickly turned his mind and pointed forward: "Walking through the valley ahead, it would be a flat horse, only a few dozen miles away from Luoyang. Daxing is much closer to Luoyang than Dengzhou to Luoyang. Calculate the time, your nephew, the King of Henan, should have arrived long ago. I wonder what the situation in Luoyang is like now."

When it comes to serious matters, Yang Shuang was excited on the spot. He snatched his beard and pondered, "I have only seen him twice. Once when he was old, A Guang once brought him to visit me - that was more than ten years ago. Another time, in the 19th year of Kaihuang, Your Majesty deposed A Yong and changed A Guang to the crown prince. I set off for Daxing to watch the ceremony. At that time, Zhaoer came out to welcome the guests on behalf of his father. Although his actions and behavior were also considered to be normal, it was nothing special.

Compared with Yong's sons, they did not look particularly outstanding. I didn't expect that just two years have passed, Zhao'er actually did several earth-shaking major events one after another. Especially in the battle of Jiuzhaigou, with my 300 soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty fighting against 30,000 Tubo soldiers... Haha, it's really amazing, but it's really strange. Did I take it past all the time, or did he have another adventure in the past two years and have won the favor of some aliens?"

Zhai Rang had never seen Yang Zhao, so he naturally couldn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "The so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with different characteristics. Some people are talented and intelligent, so they are too early, such as Kong Rong, who knew Li Li at the age of seven, and Gan Luo, who was twelve, who was a prime minister. Some people are too late to know. As the saying goes, "

Yang Shuang nodded and said, "That's right. Haha, since Brother Zhai knows that it will take sooner or later, then there is no need to be so strict with the child Yao Jin in the future. Maybe in a few years, he will suddenly become smart."

Zhai Rang glanced at his apprentice and smiled and scolded, "He? Let's forget it. Don't say that in a few years, even in a few decades, it won't work. This kid is as stupid as a cow. He just has strong strength but is not smart. What's the use? Alas~ I don't ask him how to make a name for himself in the future. I just want him to be able to make a living in this life and never starve to death."

Cheng Yaojin listened to the master and King Wei in a tight manner - he didn't know if he understood it. At this time, he suddenly spoke and said, "Master, it's not enough to just have food. The disciple loves meat the most, and only after eating meat can he have strength."

Zhai Rang and Yang Shuang were both stunned when they heard this. They then realized that Zhai Rang was so angry that he was so angry that he was glaring at the eye. King Wei couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter. Although he was old, he was not weak. In addition, his internal cultivation was deep, so he was still full of energy. At this time, the team was about to pass through a valley. The valley was very narrow, and at most two carriages could only be allowed to run side by side. The left and right mountain walls were dozens of feet high. At first glance, they looked flat as if they were like a knife.

Cut the axe and cut. The heroic laughter of King Wei stirred back and forth between the rock walls, spreading straight like thunder. In an instant, the mountain was shaking. Countless pieces of sand and stones broke out from the mountain and fell from the sky. Suddenly, a long laugh came from the cliff. The sound sounded very feminine, but Yang Shuang's laughter was majestic, but it could not be suppressed. The sound was in my ears, like a cone or a needle. Those with slightly inferior skills in the team immediately felt a stinging pain in their minds.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong's pupils shrank rapidly at the same time, regardless of where the sound came from. He shouted loudly: "Prince, let's go!" The whip was raising rapidly, and immediately led the entire team to sprint towards the exit on the other side of the valley. The valley was not long at all, and the horses in the team were all selected horses. Seeing that they could escape from the sky in a blink of an eye, they did not expect that a "boom" thunder suddenly came from the rocks ahead! The violent sound of the sky was deafening, and the solid mountain that had stood for thousands of years collapsed. In the blink of an eye,

Millions of pounds of rocks mixed with mud and trees, pouring down like mountain torrents. Everyone in the team changed their expressions, subconsciously pinned the reins tightly in their hands, and returned to the horse in time to avoid them. If the reaction was half a minute late, they would be automatically sent to the door to be buried by the landslides and rocks. They were still shocked, but they could only hear another dull thunder sound from behind. The landslide of the same scale was also repeated at the entrance of the valley. When the dust settled, the entire section of the valley had become dead. King of Wei Yang Shuang and others were blocked in the valley, and no matter whether they wanted to move forward or retreat, they could not be obtained.

Yang Shuang's face darkened, and he picked up the pair of water and fire prisoner rods hanging from the silver hook on the saddle, and shouted in a deep voice: "I am Yang Shuang here. To take my life, these stones alone are not enough. Rats with hidden heads and tails, come out and meet people."

The figure ambushed on the cliff again smiled darkly, and five or six people appeared in response. They were elegant for the person, with sword eyebrows and beautiful beards under the jaw, but it was Yang Su, the former Duke of Yue. He clasped his fists with his hands, arched at Yang Shuang at the foot of the mountain, and smiled and said, "I, Yang Su, have seen His Highness King Wei. I have met him again after a long time of separation, and His Highness's style remains the same as before. It's really gratifying."
