Chapter 45 Dragon Enters the Sea

Zhang Shun led his team to the north for a while, then turned northwest. After walking for several days, over mountains and ridges, we almost reached Changping Pass. Changping Pass is located on Danzhu Ridge, also known as Jiangzhu Ridge and Changping Beishan. It is located at the junction of Changzi County and Gaoping County.

"Minutes of Reading History Fangyu" clearly records: Danzhu Ridge is 40 miles southwest of Changzi County and 45 miles south of Gaoping County. It is said that the Qin general Bai Qi trapped 400,000 Zhao soldiers here, and in the Sui Dynasty it was Changpingguan is located here. This place has always been a strategic location and an important transportation thoroughfare. The road where Danzhu Ridge is located is called Lu'an Luoyang Road, which is the only way from Shangdang to the south, passing through Gaoping, Jincheng, and over the Taihang Mountains to Luoyang.

Before Zhang Shun arrived at Changping Pass, he received a report from a scout sent by Zhao Lizi: "There is a fierce battle ahead at Changping Post. There are enemies coming from the north and attacking the officers and soldiers of Changping Post. They are suspected to be the ones we are looking for." Shaanxi Rebels."

Zhang Shun was greatly excited when he heard this. It's better to come early than to come by chance. There must be other rebels fighting against the officers and soldiers, so he ordered Zhang Sanbai and Zhao Lizi to join together. A total of 400 people waited for the opportunity to attack the backs of the officers and soldiers, while he led the Chinese army to suppress the formation. Chen Changzhen and Xiao Qinhu led 200 people to guard the surrounding areas and guard Ma Daochang's transport camp.

Unexpectedly, the defense line of the officers and soldiers guarding Changping was already shaky. As soon as Zhang Sanbai and Zhao Lizi's troops appeared behind them, the officers and soldiers were greatly shocked. The entire line collapsed immediately, and the soldiers abandoned their helmets and fled.

At this time, it was "Lao Huihui" Ma Shouying who led the troops to attack the officers and soldiers. They had followed Zijin Liangliu to the eldest son, but they were defeated by Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi. The rebels had no choice but to flee south again. The vanguard was Ma Shouying.

"Lao Huihui" Ma Shouying saw the officers and soldiers suddenly dispersed, and then a group of troops with unknown banners appeared. He couldn't help but feel happy and surprised, and quickly sent someone to investigate. Ma Shouying's spies happened to meet the scouts sent by Zhao Lizi. After some contact with each other, they discovered that both sides were rebels. They were overjoyed and went back to their camps to report.

When Zhang Shun received the news, he was overjoyed. He secretly glanced at Zhang Shenyan, a third-grade official, and thought to himself: No matter what conspiracy or trick you have, it is of no use at this moment. Now that I am a dragon in the sea, I can only do it in an upright and upright way, and everyone can use their own methods.

So after the initial contact between the two parties, the matter of a meeting between the leaders of both parties was mentioned. Zhang Shun was not afraid of this, so he ordered Zhang Sanbai and others to restrain his troops, and he took Wukong, Chen Changzhen and Xiao Qinhu to meet him.

This Ma Shouying was originally a frontier soldier. He was a comrade with many leaders of the rebel armies in Shaanxi. He was senior and quite prestigious. He heard that Zhang Shun had brought three people to meet him, and not to be outdone, he only brought three highly skilled guards to meet him.

When Zhang Shun saw Ma Shouying, his impressions of him were as expected: Ma Shouying was strong, his clothes were old and dirty, he had a big beard on his chin, and his small eyes were cunning. But when Ma Shouying looked at Zhang Shun, it was a different scene. The leader on the opposite side of Ma Shouying's road was a fierce bandit. Who would have thought that he looked like a clean and wealthy young man, dressed in green clothes, riding a bad horse, and looking harmless to humans and animals.

But how could Ma Shouying dare to look down on him? He saw that half a body behind this man was a sturdy man with a height of 6 feet 5, and behind him were two big men, one looked like a red-faced Guan Gong, and the other looked like a black-faced Zhang Fei. Everyone is a fierce general and their momentum is overwhelming. Ma Shouying himself secretly regretted that he had trusted him so much that he dared to come to the meeting with three guards, and there was a desire to retreat in his heart.

What kind of person is Zhang Shun? He could see the timidity on the other side at a glance, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Which hero is in front of you? The young man is Zhang Shun from Henan, nicknamed 'Optimus Prime'. I have met this old hero." .”

After all, Ma Shouying was a thief. Killing people and stealing goods was a common thing. Although he felt fear in his heart, he did not change his expression and returned the greeting: "Don't you dare. Since ancient times, heroes have been born young. But in front of you, a young hero, I have grown old." . My name is Ma Shouying, and people in the world love me and call me 'Lao Hui Hui'. Thank you 'Optimus Prime' for your help. If you need help in the future, please ask."

"Everywhere, we just draw our swords to help when there is injustice on the road. We are all suffering people oppressed by the government, and there is no hero. It's just that we brothers have suffered a disaster and can't survive, so we have come to join our rebel army. I wonder if Brother Ma is willing to take him in?" Zhang Shun asked directly without fighting with him.

"I don't dare to call you Brother Ma, just call me 'Lao Huihui'. I, 'Lao Huihui', am just a leader under the second boss. If you want to join the gang, you need the consent of the 'second boss'." 'Lao Huihui' saw this If a person doesn't understand the rules, give him a hint.

"Then I am being disrespectful, 'Lao Hui Hui', who is this 'Second Master'?" Zhang Shun understood clearly. After the "Lao Hui Hui" uprising, he still did not dare to use his real name for fear of harming his family. It is estimated that this is also the case for other rebels, so a rule has been formed that they are called "nicknames" but not names. He signed up just now, and he signed up to respond in order to show respect. However, he still reminded himself that in future conversations, he would still use nicknames to address each other.

"The second master is the leader of our thirty-sixth battalion. He is also nicknamed 'Zijinliang'. I have sent someone to report to the second master. After a while, the second master should arrive." Ma Shouying explained.

Zhang Shun felt strange after hearing this, but it was not convenient to ask any more questions. He just chatted with him about the customs and customs of Shanxi and Shaanxi. After waiting for about a stick of incense, someone came and whispered to Ma Shouying, and Ma Shouying said to Zhang Shun: "Brother Optimus Prime, our second boss has arrived, please follow me."

Chen Changzhen, who has been a bodyguard for many years, was shocked when he heard this. He quickly whispered to Zhang Shun: "My lord, this is against the rules of the world, don't go lightly."

Zhang Shun listened, thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he replied in a low voice: "The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. You will pay attention to my eyes in a while, but it will be disadvantageous. You will protect me in time to kill the general."

Later, Zhang nodded to Ma Shouying and led three of his men to follow him to Changping Pass. At this time, Zhang Shun's subordinates were shocked when they saw that Zhang Shun was following Ma Shouying to the enemy camp, and quickly reported to Zhang Shun's other subordinates.

At this time, Ma Daozhang, Chen Jindou, Zhao Yutou, Chen Jingzhi, Zhang Sanbai, Zhang Wuhao, Liu Yinggui and Zhao Lizi all gathered together. Seeing the panic on everyone's faces, Taoist Ma said comfortingly: "Don't panic, everyone. My Lord is the safest thing to do. We just have to wait."

Recently, some readers have reported that some of the author's dialogues are written in classical Chinese and are somewhat obscure and should be translated. I thought this was too watery before, but I remembered it after a reader reminded me. This online work belongs to fast food literature and should not be read carefully. The author will try to pay attention to these issues when writing later. And what has been written before is not easy for the author to change. I will explain it roughly in this chapter later so that everyone can read it quickly.
