Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"promise."

"General Niu, the general let you in." The guard said respectfully.

General Niu nodded, and was about to go in, when the guards stopped Zhang Xiu and said, "This man can't go in." Although Zhou Xing was a lieutenant, Xia Houyuan still attached great importance to it, and the nearby guards were also very strong, and strangers were not allowed to approach.

"It's okay, this man is my subordinate, go in and discuss something important with the general." After General Niu finished speaking, he stuffed a handful of money into the soldier's hands without any trace.

The guards saw that General Niu was generous, and it was normal for him to bring someone in to see the general, and he did not stop him. General Niu is a general in the army, and his status is much higher than him. General Niu has to bow and bow. In the army, who can achieve the position of Zhonglang general, is there any simple character? The guards still have this kind of wink, not to mention the money. By the way, other generals came to see Zhou Xing He always looks arrogant, how could he be so polite.

"General Niu?" Zhou Xing questioned. As Xia Houyuan's deputy general, Zhou Xing couldn't pretend that he didn't know General Niu, otherwise it would be a joke to spread the word.

"That's right, I'm humbled to meet the general." General Niu said.

"Okay, in terms of positions, you and I are equal, so you don't need to salute, just talk with us at the same level. I heard that you have something to do with me. I don't know what it is?" Zhou Xing said.

"It's not me, it's this General Zhang. He has something important to discuss with the general." After speaking, General Niu walked behind Zhang Xiu with a respectful expression, without any slack.

Zhou Xing looked at Zhang Xiu with some puzzled eyes. General Niu is also a Zhonglang general, and his status is not low. When he saw this person, he showed such respect. Could it be that this person is some important figure in the army, and the secret Come to the army to investigate the situation.

"Who is this?" Zhou Xing didn't dare to neglect, he got up and asked.

"Xiliang Army, Zhang Xiu." Zhang Xiu said lightly.

When he heard the words Xiliang Army, not only Zhou Xing, but also General Niu turned pale. He didn't expect Zhang Xiu to be so bold as to openly say that he was from the Xiliang Army. Call someone to come in, even if he has ten heads, it is not enough to chop off.

"Xiliang Army?" Zhou Xing was about to pull out the sword from his waist.

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly: "If General Zhou is confident that his skills are better than those of Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, even if he tries to use his sword in front of me, he will bleed for five steps, and it will not look good."

Zhou Xing was startled. He naturally knew that Zhao Yun and Lu Bu were fierce generals of the Xiliang Army, and they were rare opponents in the world. He thought he was invincible.

"Oh, I don't believe it. If this general calls someone in, neither of you will be able to escape."

Zhang Xiu stared at Zhou Xing's eyes and said word by word: "I guess you dare not."

"Why?" Zhou Xing asked puzzled, his hand still resting on the saber, ready to attack at any time.

"It's very simple, because what I see in your eyes is fear, you are afraid of death, so you don't call people, but cooperate with me." Zhang Xiu said.

Zhou Xing said angrily: "Don't think that this general is afraid to call people." He is a military general, and he is naturally bloody in his bones. Being so despised, it is hard to guarantee that he will do something in a fit of anger.

"Hehe, General Zhou, why do you do something that you regret for the rest of your life just out of a moment of anger. You only have one life, and you have nothing when you die. Doesn't General Zhou know this truth?" General Niu stepped forward to persuade.

"You guys go, I'll pretend I don't know anything." Zhou Xing put his hand on the saber down. Yes, he was afraid of death, and he was able to take the position of lieutenant general because of a coincidence back then. He joined Xiahouyuan's subordinates. As Xiahouyuan's status gradually improved, his status also became higher, but he was still a small Zhonglang general who had not been promoted for many years. Cao Jun's general's salary was very low. The position of a general seems to be quite good in the army, and it is okay to support a family. It is impossible to live a life of luxury.

"Since I'm here, I don't intend to go out like this. General Zhou has been in the army for a long time. He has made great achievements in order to be rich and prosperous in the future, and I can give you a fortune and protect your life. " Zhang Xiu said.

"General Xiahou has treated me with such kindness as a mountain. I will not betray him. Go away. If you don't leave, I will call someone." Zhou Xing really didn't understand that a general of the Xiliang Army dared to stand in the enemy's camp. A general who threatens the opponent with words.

"I didn't say to make you betray Xia Houyuan, but let you become the chief general in the pass, how about it?" Zhang Xiu said.

An imperceptible burning flashed in Zhou Xing's eyes, becoming the chief general, that is the No. 1 in the pass, whoever dares not to obey his orders, the difference between the chief general and the deputy general is one word, but the treatment is very different.

"The general has been in the army for many years, and he has made many contributions to Cao Cao. The reason why he has not been promoted is because you have the insurmountable mountain of Xiahouyuan above you. Once he dies, you will be able to rise smoothly and become the chief general. Command the three armies and issue orders." Zhang Xiu seductively said.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Xing said, "What do I need to do?"

"After becoming the chief general in the army, everything will follow my orders." Zhang Xiu said slowly.

"Follow your orders? Why?" Zhou Xing snorted coldly, "It would be better if I arrest you to meet General Xiahou, and you will get more benefits."

"I am a general of the Xiliang Army. Isn't this enough? With the general's skill alone, let alone sending the two of us to Xiahouyuan, I will not be able to protect myself." Zhang Xiu said: "In this world, there will eventually be It belongs to the Xiliang army, and you wait until the Hulao pass is breached before surrendering, which is very different from surrendering now. As long as you are obedient now, you will have endless glory and wealth in the future, but when it comes to military pay, Xiliang The army is twice the size of other armies, with the merits of the general, you can easily get rewards, Chang'an is prosperous, and the world knows, what kind of things can't you get when you have money?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Xing couldn't help asking even though he knew the purpose of the Xiliang Army.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, just be your commander-in-chief with peace of mind and obey our orders. Both Hulaoguan and Luoyang will become the Xiliang Army." Zhang Xiu knew that Zhou Xing's psychological defense had been defeated. become his puppet.

Zhou Xing thought for a long time, and chose to give in. In the face of the danger of his life and wealth, he betrayed Xia Houyuan, the general of the Cao army who had always trusted him.

Leaving Zhou Xing's tent, General Niu felt the chill behind his back. He had never been so excited before. In the enemy's camp, he was negotiating terms with other generals, and he was still so righteous. Thinking of Zhang Xiu's exhortation, he hurried back to his own Department, start preparations.

Three figures came around the tent where Xia Houyuan was. With some help from Zhou Xing, these guards did not stop them. Seeing the layout around the tent, Zhang Xiu shook his head secretly. With so many open posts and secret posts placed, I am afraid that if there is any movement, soldiers will immediately file in.

"Okay, the matter here has been settled, let's go back together." Zhang Xiu whispered.

Zhou Xing nodded, and left with Zhang Xiu. He didn't understand why Zhang Xiu asked him to come to Xia Houyuan's tent for a walk. Could it be that he could become the general in the army by doing this? It was too simple.

Just as Zhang Xiu and Zhou Xing left, seven or eight black shadows came out from the darkness, looked at the ground, and walked towards Xia Houyuan's camp.

Before the two soldiers could react, their throats were pierced by the triangular army, and they let out a low whimper. The soldiers who were hiding or in the open along the way were all dealt with one by one. From the beginning to the end, they did not make any noise. sound.

The smell of blood continued to spread, and the tent was opened, and a black shadow rolled in.

The pitch-black tent made the black figure feel a little uncomfortable. After pausing for a moment, he began to grope towards the bed.

Xia Houyuan, who was sleeping soundly, trembled a few times with his closed eyelids. The black shadow could not doubt him, and the triangular army stabbed at Xia Houyuan's neck. As long as he succeeded in one blow, Xia Houyuan would be gone forever.

A hand accidentally caught Heiying's hand, the tiger's eyes suddenly opened, and he picked up the saber beside him and stabbed forward.

Caught off guard, Hei Ying rubbed his chest, which was sore from being stabbed by the sword, handed the three-edged army stab to his right hand, sneered, and rushed forward.

Xia Houyuan hastily drew his sword out of its sheath, and faced the black shadow. Seeing this, the two black shadows on the sidelines quickly joined the battle. The three of them cooperated, and Xia Houyuan fell from the advantage just now to the disadvantage. In terms of personal ability, a man in black is definitely not his opponent, but there are three of them on the other side, and they cooperate seamlessly, with quick movements and strong martial arts. They seem to have more advantages in the dark.

When he saw the assassin of the Triangle Army, Xia Houyuan knew who it was. He thought that his martial arts skills were extraordinary, and he beheaded the three of them with his own strength, but he didn't expect such a situation to happen.

The sound of the four people fighting startled the guarding soldiers around the tent, just now seven or eight people just opened a road along the way, it is really impossible to kill all the soldiers around the tent.

The approaching soldiers were constantly attacked, and their attacks were short and harsh. Even though these soldiers were the elite of the army, they still had no power to fight back. Fortunately, there were a large number of them, and they still broke into the camp.

Xia Houyuan opened his eyes wide, watching the three edged army thorns passing by the tip of his nose, he was startled, and shouted: "There are assassins."

The roar in the dark night was particularly loud, and the soldiers farther away also approached Xia Houyuan's camp.

"There are assassins, hurry up and protect the general." General Niu led more than [-] soldiers and rushed over, just blocking the way of the team. There is still a certain distance from the personal guard camp to Xiahouyuan's camp. The forces around Xia Houyuan are not weak, but General Niu's main task is to provide greater opportunities for assassination.
