Cao Thief

Chapter 9 Someone Comes on a Snowy Night ([-]) Please recommend for collection
After nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply.

The cold wind kept howling, rolling up dust all over the sky.

Around the time of Haishi, snowflakes as big as goose feathers fluttered down one after another, dyeing the world into a vast expanse of white in an instant.

This is the first snow since the beginning of winter in Nanyang County, and the snow is heavy.

I saw thousands of miles covered in silver, and in the dark night, there was a trace of dignified and solemn air.

In the middle of the night, the wind gradually died down, and the snow also weakened...

A convoy came slowly from the east, before and after the convoy, there were knights in cloaks guarding them, approaching from far away, getting closer...

"Zhongye, where are you?"

In the carriage, came an old voice.

A knight urged his horse to go, leaned slightly on the horseback, "Mr. Yuan An, after crossing the stream ahead, you will be in Yangcian Town!

With such a heavy snowstorm, I'm afraid it's not convenient to continue on the road.Why don't you go to Yangchu Town to rest for a while, and then set off on your way at dawn? "

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and then someone whispered.

After a while, the old voice sounded again: "Forget it, it's better not to disturb the place, otherwise it will be another trouble. I remember that there was a carriage post outside Yangjuan Town, which was abandoned a few years ago. Why don't we just rest at the inn tonight, and when the snow subsides, we will leave immediately... Decao, what do you think? On such a snowy night, let's just cook wine and talk... This time when I return to Xiangyang, the old man has decided to return to Lumen Hidden in the mountains. My brother persuaded me many times, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet again in the future."

"Mr. Yuan An's kind intentions, how dare De Cao refuse to obey?

Cooking wine in the wind and snow is also a beautiful thing... Hehe, it's a pity that Mr. Zu Wen is not here, otherwise, it would be even more satisfying. "

"It's impossible for you to let that old guy out of the mountain!"

There was a burst of laughter in the carriage, followed by the old voice again, "Zhongye, let's rest at the Sheep Book Station tonight."

"Here!"

The knight outside the car bowed to his command, and then let out a series of whistles.

More than a dozen horses rushed out of the convoy and galloped away into the distance.Only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and soon disappeared.The knight reined in his horse and circled in place, seeing that there was no confusion in the convoy, he urged his horse to keep up, and followed the convoy along the main road, moving slowly.

Yangchu Town is under the administration of Biyang County.

After entering Yangcian Town, it was equivalent to entering Liu Biao's sphere of influence.

In the first year of Jian'an, after the emperor escaped from Guanzhong, General Zhang Ji of Xiliang saw that Guanzhong was dilapidated, so he led his subordinates to leave Guanzhong and came to Jingzhou.

Later, Zhang Ji was killed by an arrow in the battle for Rangcheng.

Zhang Ji's nephew took the opportunity to take over the military power and became the commander of this Xiliang army.Zhang Xiu was a general under Dong Zhuo's command back then, and when he left Guanzhong, he had the title of General Jianzhong.At this time, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and got the name of orthodoxy.Especially after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he shifted his sphere of influence to Yuzhou, and successively captured Yingchuan, Chenguo and other places, which made Liu Biao suddenly feel the pressure.

Wancheng is very close to Xu!
Liu Biao, at the suggestion of Kuai Liang, his counselor, divided Nanyang County into two and handed over [-] counties to Zhang Xiu for his recuperation.

However, don't think that Liu Biao did it out of kindness.

He asked Zhang Xiu to be stationed in Wancheng. On the one hand, he wanted Zhang Xiu to become a barrier for Jingzhou, and on the other hand, he wanted Zhang Xiu to compete with Cao Cao.

In order to show his sincerity, Liu Biao also ordered the withdrawal of soldiers and horses from Jiyang as a boundary city for both sides.

Of course, the so-called withdrawal of soldiers and horses is not completely defenseless.General Liu Biao Deng Ji was stationed in Xinye, with over ten thousand elite soldiers under his command, in order to guard against Zhang Xiu.From Xinye to Jiyang, horseback riding can come from morning to evening.Moreover, the Jiyang Hopeful Clan has always been hostile to outsiders like Zhang Xiu.When Zhang Xiu first arrived in Nanyang County, his foothold was not stable, so of course he did not dare to easily become an enemy with Liu Biao, and simply formed an ally.

And Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and has always been prestigious.

Neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shu dared to fight Liu Biao easily.

This also made Jingzhou gradually restore calm under Liu Biao's governance.Although it can't be said that you don't pick up things on the road, it's safe to come all the way.

The convoy marched along the main road, and saw the shadow of the sheep book station from a distance.

The knight waved his hand on the horse, signaling the team to speed up.But at this moment, there was only a sound of clashing weapons coming from a distance, vaguely, it seemed that someone was fighting.A fast horse galloped from the direction of the post station, stopped in front of the knight horse, and cupped his hands and said: "General, the post station was preempted by someone. We tried to drive him away, but the opponent had a weapon in his hand and violently resisted." , and injured two brothers.”

The knight was wearing a windshield, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

Only eyes that were as bright as stars were exposed. Hearing the report from his subordinates, his eyes could not help but squint, and a cold light flashed across them.

"Come and watch with me."

As he spoke, he urged his horse to move forward. When passing by a carriage, the knight suddenly reached out and grabbed a long spear erected on the carriage.

Dozens of knights followed immediately, and they arrived at the gate of the station in the blink of an eye.

This inn was originally under the jurisdiction of Yangchu Town.However, due to various reasons, it was later withdrawn.

A small independent courtyard with a row of houses and an abandoned stable.Several knights were standing in the courtyard, standing with a big black and strong man.The masked knight reined in his horse and watched, and saw that the big man was about eight feet tall, thick and strong.He was wearing a gray short coat with a cotton robe over it.A double-strand steel fork in the palm dances imperceptibly, whirring.

As for the knights on their own side, although they had the advantage in numbers, they couldn't do anything to the big man.

On the contrary, following the roar of the big man, the steel fork drew a series of cold lights, forcing the knight to keep retreating, gradually failing.

Under the eaves, there were still four people standing.

One of them is more than eight feet tall, with a dark complexion, broad shoulders and round waist.

He was holding a large iron hammer in his hand, which seemed to be used for hammering iron... After a cursory glance, he estimated the weight of the hammer to be around sixty catties.

The knight narrowed his eyes and thought: Where did these two heroes come from?
Looking over the shoulder of the man carrying the hammer, he saw a woman squatting halfway under the eaves, with one arm around a child, and the other hand grabbing a child's arm.

Seems like a family?

The knight was a little puzzled, and suddenly heard a loud roar coming from the yard.

The strong man with the steel fork suddenly turned around on the snowy ground, fighting in all directions at night, forcing the three knights back.

"Good man, don't be mad, take a shot at me first... Boys, stand down!"

The knight jumped off his horse, picked up his spear, stepped forward and rushed into the yard.Several companions backed away quickly, only to see his big gun shake, the Yin and Yang handles closed, and the spear pierced out, as fast as lightning.There was a gust of wind hanging from the big gun, and it rushed to the strong man.

The strong man squinted his eyes involuntarily, took a step back, and pushed the steel fork across his chest.

Hearing the sound of clang, the big gun in the knight's hand was immediately disintegrated, but the strong man's footsteps were also flimsy, and he stepped back several steps.

Before he could stand still, the knight laughed loudly and strode forward.

The hand slides against the gun barrel, grabs the center of the gun barrel, presses down with the hand, and stops to drink.

The big gun whirred and slammed down hard.The strong man frowned, gritted his teeth, and lifted the steel fork upwards, locking the gun barrel with a click.The barrel of the gun was locked, but the heavy force from the big gun made the strong man tremble and his feet went limp.

The knight laughed loudly, "Man, you have been fooled!"

The spear suddenly turned in his hand, and the metal and iron rubbed against each other, making a piercing sound.

The knight stepped sideways, walked with the gun, and twisted outward...

The steel fork seemed to be locked by a spear, and the strong man could no longer hold on to the steel fork, and flew out of his hand.

Before the brawny man could react, the knight stepped forward quickly, and kicked the brawny man hard on the chest.Kicking the burly man, he sat down on the snow... The knight backhanded and stabbed with a big gun... The black man and woman who were watching the battle couldn't help screaming.

The strong man couldn't help closing his eyes, and said in his heart: It's over!

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

The burly man opened his eyes and saw the gleaming spear tip dangling in front of his eyes.

"A man can be killed but not humiliated. I can't beat you. You can kill me. Why bother to humiliate me?"

The knight laughed, and took off the wind scarf on his face, revealing a handsome face.He shook his head, and suddenly retracted the big gun.

"Man, you have good skills!"

The strong man stood up slowly and stared at the knight, "But he is not your three-in-one enemy."

"Since that's the case, I won't kill you either... As long as you leave the station, I'll treat it as if nothing happened, how about it?"

"you……"

The strong man hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"My dear brother, let's go."

The black man standing under the eaves was an honest man. With a promise, he put away the hammer, took a small and thin child from the woman's hand, hugged him in his arms, picked up his luggage, and prepared to leave.The strong man walked aside, picked up the steel fork, and waved to another child.
