Eastern Han Dynasty, not the Three Kingdoms

Huang Bing suddenly turned hostile and cursed: "Where did you come from, you little bastard, to dare to scare your grandfather?" Everyone around saw Huang Bing's anger and went up to push Yang Xiaoer to the ground. Yang Xiaoer struggled and raised his head and said: "Boss, I am here to pass on a message for Brother Liu San. I admire you very much, how dare I deceive you!"

Huang Bing stepped forward and pulled Yang Xiaoer's hair, staring at him and saying, "How can a rich young man travel alone and carry so much gold? This lie is full of loopholes. You are trying to deceive your grandfather."

Yang Xiaoer looked at Huang Bing and calmed down, saying, "If you don't believe me, Boss, you can send your men to check. If I'm lying, I'll be in your hands. It's up to you to decide whether to kill me or shave me!"

Huang Bing saw that Yang Xiaoer looked calm and not panicked after telling a lie, so he was skeptical. He ordered the third in command to take people to check it out. In order to save time, he even let them ride the only three or four horses.

Huang Bing asked his men to let go of Yang Xiaoer, pulled over the abducted young wife, and asked: "Brother Yang, do you know this woman?" Yang Xiaoer took a look and said, "This is the sister-in-law from Liujia Village. I went to find Liu San and saw her many times in Liujia Village."

The woman was furious, glaring and gritting her teeth, saying, "Bah, who is your sister-in-law? You and Liu San are both damned beasts..." Bang! Before she could finish her words, Huang Bing slapped the woman in the face and cursed, "You damned bitch, how dare you talk to my brother like that? You're asking for a beating." The woman covered her face and fell to the ground crying, but Huang Bing ignored her. He turned around and pulled Yang Xiaoer over, saying, "Brother, it's not that I'm worried about you. It's just that there are one or two hundred brothers who depend on you for their livelihood. I'm sorry to offend you." Yang Xiaoer sighed at Huang Bing's insidiousness while still perfunctorily chatting with him. Both sides were eagerly awaiting news from the second-in-command.

The second in command led three of his men on horseback and came to the vicinity of Yangjia Village. They sneaked into the village and saw Liu San and a young man sitting under a big tree from a distance. Not far away was a BMW tied up. The BMW was quite majestic and the young man was also dressed luxuriously. Tea was placed on the side. A woman came over to refill their tea. The young man casually threw out a small piece of gold as a reward. The second in command saw it clearly. The golden gold was indeed generous. He was a playboy and a big fat sheep. After observing for a while, he saw nothing unusual. He looked around the village again and found no young men, only women and children walking around. The second in command hurried back, fearing that if he was too late, the big fish would escape.

Huang Bing and Yang Xiaoer were chatting idly. Yang Xiaoer, mindful of Ma Chao's instructions, kept his words submissive and didn't dare to say much. Huang Bing, seeing he hadn't gotten any more information out of him, gradually lost interest. The second-in-command returned by sunset and reported to Huang Bing that there was indeed a large fish, but the village had few strong men.

Huang Bing immediately began to gather his men, and his confidants began to shout at his followers to assemble. There were only a few dozen bandits who actually fled with him. The rest were ruffians who had defected to him, and the starving people who really couldn't survive, about two hundred people. They left a few guard tents and made a lot of noise until dusk before they were ready to go.

The second in command and several trusted bandits who had seen blood, surrounded Huang Bing and rode in front. Huang Bing was holding a double-pronged steel fork, wearing half a set of iron armor and an iron helmet, and was riding on his horse with a proud look on his face. Several bandits around him were also wearing leather armor and flattering him. The rest followed behind. The real bandits and scoundrels carried knives, some carried tasseled spears, and at the very least, they carried farm tools. The hungry people who were forced to follow behind followed with sticks, their faces were pale, their clothes were in disarray, and some even wore women's clothes. They followed the team like zombies.

By the time they reached Yangjia Village, it was completely dark, and every household was lighting oil lamps. Huang Bing pulled Yang Xiaoer ahead to lead the way, heading straight for Yang De's house in the center of the village. Ma Chao lived there, and he couldn't let him escape. Huang Bing shouted, and the bandits rushed towards the village with a roar.

The bandits followed Huang Bing inside, while the ruffians and hungry civilians rushed into every house and began to loot. Yang Xiaoer ran ahead, and when he reached the center of the village, he dodged and hid in the shadows. Huang Bing was so focused on catching Ma Chao that he didn't pay any attention.

Ma Chao stood on his horse with his spear in hand, looking at the group of bandits running towards him. He was not nervous at all and just watched the thieves rushing towards him quietly.

When Huang Bing was almost there, he saw a knight shouting to the second in command to come forward and test the waters. The second in command stepped forward and shouted, "Would you like to give your names?" Ma Chao sneered. A group of bandits were trying to imitate the battle formations and fight against generals. Without answering, he started to spur his horse faster and shot with a spear, stabbing the second in command off his horse.

Huang Bing took one look and shouted, "This is a tough spot, let's attack together." However, he did not move forward, and a group of bandits rushed up. Ma Chao raised his spear and fired, taking out a bandit with each shot. In a few moments, ten bandits had been stabbed by his spear.

At this time, the sound of gongs rang out. The young men and women around the village had already put up sharp blades on the fences, and the women and children all held torches in their hands. Shouts were heard all around the village, scaring the ruffians and hungry people who were robbing farmers' homes to run out quickly and gather in the village.

Huang Bing watched Ma Chao, who was like a killing god, kill more than ten core bandits on his side in a few rounds. He heard loud shouts around him and knew that he had fallen into a trap. He quickly arranged for people to fight their way out. At this time, the bandits were in a panic and had no order at all. They squeezed Huang Bing so hard that he couldn't even turn his horse's head. Huang Bing was so anxious that he chopped down several people before turning his horse around and running out of the village.

The crowd in front became chaotic, and many people fell into the trap in the squeeze, wailing continuously. Finally, someone rushed out of the village and stepped on the sharp blade of the fence, which pierced his foot in an instant. He was nailed to the ground and hugged his foot and wailed.

The people who had rushed out of the village in front could not get out again. Ma Chao was chasing them from behind with his spear in hand. Ma Chao was followed by torches, like an army of thousands. Huang Bing could not get out, so he had to bite the bullet and lead his men to charge Ma Chao again. Ma Chao stabbed Huang Bing in the abdomen in a split second, and then hit him on the spear. He shouted: "The bandit leader Huang Bing is dead. Kneel down and surrender and you will not be killed." The people around him shouted: "Officers and soldiers are suppressing the bandits. Kneel down and surrender and you will not be killed." "Officers and soldiers are suppressing the bandits. Kneel down and surrender and you will not be killed."

The bandits, first frightened by Ma Chao's bravery, then wounded by traps and sharp blades in the fences, now saw Huang Bing dead again, and the surrounding area seemed to be surrounded by a huge army. They were frightened several times, and most of the truly brave bandits had been killed by Ma Chao. Now Ma Chao still looked at them with awe. Everyone threw their weapons to the ground and knelt in surrender.

The villagers, armed with torches and ropes, began to tie up the bandits. A few fierce bandits, not seeing the soldiers approaching, gathered together and prepared to launch a violent resistance. Ma Chao, sensing something was amiss, rode forward, spear in hand, and stabbed several of them to death. The bandits were utterly terrified and dared not move again. They were all tied up and awaited their fate.

After the villagers had tied up the bandits, Ma Chao led Yang Xiaoer and others to raid the bandits' lair, rescued two or three women, and emptied the bandits' home. It was already the next morning when they finished all this.
