In 1867, when Liu Yongfu led the Black Flag Army to move to Annan, he did not know whether the front was a broad road or a dead end road. However, the Black Flag Army has no room for maneuver in the country and can only take one step at a time.

That evening, Liu Yongfu led his troops through a place called Daling. This is the only way for the Black Flag Army to enter Annan.

The future was uncertain. Liu Yongfu had sent people to explore the road in Daling beforehand. He reported that there were hundreds of people guarding Daling, and the leader was Xu Yuanbin.

"Xu Yuanbin?" Liu Yongfu thought, as if he had heard of it somewhere.

The spy added that Xu Yuanbin was from Nale, Qinzhou, the same hometown as Liu Yongfu, but he had an upright personality and was not easy to talk to.

Liu Yongfu was disapproving after hearing this and waved his hand: "Don't worry about whether he is a god or a devil. Let's wait until we meet!"

Soon, the Black Flag Army was surrounded by a group of people at the foot of Daling Mountain. The opponents are facing each other with swords and guns, showing no weakness to each other.

Encountered this situation before leaving the country. Many people in the Black Flag Army were a little panicked, but Liu Yongfu remained calm.

"May I ask if this is Leader Xu's team?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" someone on the other side said arrogantly.

"Please tell me that Qinzhou Liu Yongfu wants to pay a visit to Leader Xu!"

"Who is Liu Yongfu? I've never heard of it!" The other party said contemptuously, "No matter who you are, you have to think about this place. Leave money to buy the way!"

"Ignorant people! Haven't you heard of the Black Flag Army?" Someone in the team was dissatisfied and refuted loudly.

"The black flag army and the white flag army are just a group of rabble defeated by the Qing army!"

Liu Yongfu raised his eyes and glanced at the opponent's troops, and said calmly: "I think you are only number 300, right? Really start to fight Come on, do you have a good chance of winning?"

"Hehe! We are waiting for work, and we are condescending, so we have a better chance of winning!" Liu Yongfu said, "We are bandits, and you are the same. We are two people from the end of the world. Why bother to meet each other? "

"Well said!" At this time, a person stood out from the opponent's formation and clapped his hands.

Liu Yongfu looked at the people who came and said, "If my guess is correct, it should be Leader Xu, right?"

"My wife, Xu Yuanbin, has long heard that Liu Yongfu is heroic and courageous. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

" Leader Xu has received the award. We are just a group of people running around for survival. "

"You should all leave. If you continue to pretend, it will become a joke." Xu Yuanbin waved to the team behind him, "Xu has heard about it a long time ago. General Liu is a talented man who likes to fight against injustices. How offensive he was when he tried so boldly!"

Liu Yongfu said: "Liu is not that generous, but he just wants to give me a way."

Xu Yuanbin said with his hands. In the evening, General Liu might as well go to the camp and stay overnight. Let's sit down and talk about the situation in Annan. "

"Liu is worried that no one will ask him about the situation in Annan, so he would rather obey his orders!" Liu Yongfu dismissed his entourage and followed Xu Yuanbin alone. account.

That night, Xu Yuanbin entertained Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army with good wine and food.

Xu Yuanbin was originally the leader of a rebel army in Guangxi. Feeling that the living space in the country was limited, he recently led his troops to occupy Daling and made a living by collecting tolls.

The two of them sat down. Xu Yuanbin first raised the topic: "Although Guangxi is vast, it cannot be used for exhibitions. General Liu enters Annan this time. What are his plans?"

Liu Yongfu: "To be honest, I heard that Annan Miao Yao If they rebel and dominate each other, Vietnam the Wang family will be defeated and cannot save millions of lives, so they want to go to Vietnam to help the King of Yue attack Miao Yao. If he can, he will do it. If he can't, he will make other plans. Foresight! The Black Flag Army will have great potential here!"

Liu Yongfu: "With all due respect, Leader Xu's entrenched position in Daling is not a long-term solution."

Xu Yuanbin: "Oh? Please give me a clear path." "

" A large number of Qing troops gathered in Guangxi to pursue and intercept the rebels from all walks of life.Liu Yongfu said, "Wu Ya finally had tens of thousands of troops and retreated. How could Leader Xu resist them?" "

Xu Yuanbin sighed: "Xu knew that it would be difficult to stay alone in this mountain. He wanted to go to Vietnam to find a way to survive, but there was still something unfinished. General Liu will go first and follow after I get settled. I hope you can help me more in the future! "

" We are all looking for a way to survive in a foreign land, so you're welcome! "

Liu Yongfu and Xu Yuanbin exchanged words with each other and had a very happy conversation. In the end, they became brothers at the wine table.

A few days later, in the Juyi Hall on Suwei Street in the north of Annan, red candles were swaying.

One person said: "Brother Deng came to visit late at night, shouldn't he just rush through the door, right? "

Another person said: "Brother Liang guessed it right, I do not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. "

" You and I have known each other for many years. If Brother Liang has anything to say, you might as well say it directly. "

The man named Deng looked around and whispered: "I'm afraid the peaceful days for you and me are coming to an end. What does "

" mean? I dare not say it in other places. On Suwei Street, even the Annan government will have to give you and me two points of thin noodles. "

" It's not the Annan people who have trouble with us this time. "

" Who is that? "

" Liu Yongfu, and his Black Flag Army. The name "

" seems a bit familiar. Didn't he settle in Annan because he couldn't survive in China? How capable can it be? "

" He betrayed Wu Yazhong, traveled thousands of miles to receive food and salary, and recruited Xu Yuanbin for free... In my opinion, this person is not an ordinary person. "

" He also came to Suwei Street? "

" is on its way. "

" This is the territory you and I have built with our lives, no one can take it away! "

" This is his letter of visit. It is easy for us to welcome God , but it is difficult to send him . "Deng Zhixiong said, taking out a letter and handing it to Liang Junxiu.

Liang Junxiu took the letter and glanced at it: "Then let's work together to kill him! "

" is a bit confusing. Liu Yongfu has 300 people under his command, and we only have 200 people. "

" Why is Brother Deng so angry? We are landlords on Suwei Street. "

" This is the only advantage we have left. When the time comes to take action, I'm afraid both sides will suffer. "

" So what are your countermeasures? "

" Doesn't he want to visit us? Just sing him the Hongmen Banquet. If he lives a peaceful life, he will have food and wine to eat, but if he plots something evil, hehe, that can only mean he is unlucky, and we are not vegetarians either! "

" is decided, we will act accordingly. "

At dusk two days later, Liu Yongfu led the Black Flag Army to camp near Suwei Street.

At night, Nong Xiuye ​​sneaked into Liu Yongfu's tent like a gust of wind.

After the greetings, Nong Xiuye ​​said: "General Liu came early. . "

Liu Yongfu was puzzled: "How do you say this? Didn’t you come first and I come later? "

Liang Junxiu told Liu Yongfu that the two Qing peasant army leaders stationed in front of him on Suwei Street were Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu. After these two men were swept away by the Qing army, they led their remnants to retreat into Vietnam and accepted the orders of the Vietnamese government. He held an official position and had more than 200 people under his command.

A few days ago, Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu heard the news that Liu Yongfu was leading the black flag army approaching Suwei Street. The two then greeted Liu Yongfu and asked the Black Flag Army to take over Suwei Street. Unexpectedly, Liu Yongfu arrived before he could take action.

Liu Yongfu was shocked when he heard Nong Xiuye's conspiracy: "Fortunately, I came early, otherwise. It's time for you to make a mistake. If you had killed Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu first, I would not have come to Suwei Street knowing that. "

Nong Xiuye ​​asked Liu Yongfu what he meant.

"We are new here. We don't distinguish between friends and foes. We must not make enemies. We should treat others with justice and trust, otherwise we will not be able to gain a foothold in the future! "

" The problem now is that Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu may not be able to tolerate the Black Flag Army? "

Liu Yongfu: "Well, let me go and meet these two first.

Nong Xiuye ​​thought for a while and said, "That's fine. We have more people than them, so we won't suffer any losses in a fight." How many people does General Liu plan to take with him? "

" Three are enough, me, you, and Liu Chengliang."

" what? Nong Xiuye ​​became anxious, "That's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you make the wrong step, you'll lose your head!" "

" If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs? "Liu Yongfu said with a smile, "We have no conflict of interest with them at the moment, and I don't think they dare to mess around. Besides, I’m not afraid even if it’s the Hongmen Banquet! "

Nong Xiuye: "Then we have to bring musket . "

Liu Yongfu: "No! That only adds to the animosity. Don't bring anything with you except a short sword. "

Nong Xiuye ​​couldn't persuade Liu Yongfu, so he had to let him go.

At noon the next day, when they saw Liu Yongfu, Nong Xiuye ​​and Liu Chengliang coming to visit with gifts, Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu were surprised at first, and then embarrassed. .

The two of them welcomed Liu Yongfu and the other three people into the lobby, and asked people to serve them wine and food. Liu Yongfu didn't take any precautions. As soon as he came, he raised his bowl and drank three large bowls with each other.

Nong Xiuye ​​sat aside and secretly said. He was anxious because he noticed that there were swordsmen lying around. But Liu Yongfu was calm and he couldn't reveal it in person.

After several large bowls of wine, the people at the table were tipsy.

Liang Junxiu laughed: " General Liu is so happy, aren't you afraid that we will poison the wine?

Liu Yongfu laughed loudly: "Liu has long heard about the two leaders' personalities. If you really want to take my life, why are you at the wine table?" We are all from the Qing Dynasty. Now we have fled to Annan to make a living. Why bother to fight each other with swords and guns?

After hearing this, Liang Junxiu blushed and said, "General Liu's words make us look like villains. I'll drink this bowl of wine first as a token of respect!" "

During the dinner, Deng Zhixiong repeatedly signaled Liang Junxiu to take action, but was stopped by the latter. Nong Xiuye ​​and Liu Chengliang's hearts were in their throats several times, but Liu Yongfu remained calm.

After some digging, After a heart-to-heart exchange, Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu were also impressed by Liu Yongfu's courage and openness. Deng and Liang even became brothers with Liu Yongfu.

When Liu Yongfu first entered Vietnam, he showed his heroic appearance, magnanimous mind and extraordinary character. Their magnanimity subdued Xu Yuanbin, Deng Zhixiong and Liang Junxiu, the "Three Heroes of Vietnam". These three people also reciprocated and provided food and salary to the Black Flag Army, helping the Black Flag Army overcome the difficulties of unfamiliar territory.
