The sunset gradually disappeared in the sky, the cold autumn wind blew the flags on the tower of Lu'an City, the twilight was dim, and the faint smoke shrouded the rolling hills and the tumbling Baisha River in the distance, which seemed particularly bleak and desolate.

The autumn frost had not yet arrived, but the open space below the city was already full of withered branches, fallen leaves, and weeds trampled by horses' hooves and soldiers.

The remains of the warriors and horses had been removed and buried by the soldiers of both sides, but the broken weapons, mutilated banners, and congealed blood were still everywhere, and the smell of death was still stirring in the air.

Sun Jian is standing at the foot of this Lu'an City at this moment, standing on this land that has been invaded by war.

Behind him are the stars, including experienced and loyal Han Dang, Cheng Pu and other veterans, as well as young generals such as Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and Jiang Qin, who dare to rush and dare to break through the newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers.

It can be described as the general of the dry city, and the stars are shining.

However, he was not half complacent, and his mood was as solemn as his face. The faces of Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, Han Dang and others behind him were also full of embarrassment and resentment.

It's been a whole day since they came back from the dense forest, but what about Wang Li, who Huang Zhong swore by in his mouth? What's more, not to mention Wang Li and the main army under his command, even the horse hair under the crotch of those knights, they haven't seen a single one.

Obviously, they were swept away by Huang Zhong.

And because they were in a hurry to get back, they even abandoned the veterans under their command in the forest. That's a full one or two thousand elites, one or two thousand veterans who have accompanied them through most of the Jiangdong and taken down countless rebel heads, so because of Huang Zhong's old thief's words, they were treated as a drag and became Wang Li's prisoner!

This is really and unbearable, oh no, it's unbearable!

"Gong Jin, do you think Wang Deyu will come? It can't just be the smoke that Huang Zhong Lao Er is talking nonsense about, right? Sun Jian glared at Sun Ce and Han Dang fiercely, turned his head to Zhou Yu on the side and asked.

Zhou Yu had already learned the whole thing from Sun Ce's mouth, he raised his head and stared at Lu'an City in front of him, and nodded slowly: "I will definitely come!" As long as Lu'an City is still surrounded by us, he will definitely come! ”

Following Zhou Yu's gaze, he saw a big flag embroidered with the word "Lu" on the head of the city waving in the wind, Sun Jian's heart moved slightly, and he nodded firmly: "Yes, he will definitely come back!" It seems that my grandson may be able to see the old man again today! ”

"Marshal, according to the words of the young general and Yigong, there are only three Huang Zhong in the forest, and the words in their mouths are just to bluff me and others, how can you and Gongjin be sure that Wang Deyu will come to Lu'an in person?" Obviously, Huang Gai knew the old man in Sun Jian's mouth, and he was a little puzzled in his heart.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly, and a hint of sarcasm hung on the corner of his mouth: "Xunzi Honor and Disgrace" once wrote: Where righteousness lies, does not lean into power, does not care about its interests, the whole country does not change its eyes with it, and it is the courage of a gentleman to uphold righteousness without yielding.

Obviously, our former general is such a gentleman. In the past, the main soldiers passed through Jingzhou General Zumao and died in the battle of Da Xian Mountain, and today Lu Kang is defending Lu'an and Huang Zhong is ordered to rescue, isn't it all reflecting the righteousness of the former general? ”

Righteousness is the very high embodiment of Confucianism, is the personality of scholars and gentlemen, Guanzi advocates "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the four dimensions of the country", Confucianism advocates "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith", all of which cannot be avoided from a simple righteous word.

And righteousness is divided into many kinds, such as: "Young chivalry, befriending Wuduxiong." Liver and gallbladder holes, hair shrugging. In the negotiation, life and death are the same, and a promise is heavy. "Treat each other with sincerity and sincerity, this is the righteousness of friends!

"As a Great Song minister, he died as a Great Song ghost. A piece of loyalty, the bright moon shines on the autumn water. "Blue blood and Dan heart, loyal to the country, this is the righteousness of the country!

"Thirty merits, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. When will the courtiers perish? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. "The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, sacrifice life and forget death, save the world, this is the righteousness of the nation!

Wang Li is indeed a hot-blooded person who is worried about his talents, but Zhou Yu only mentions Wang Li's letter to Sun Jianyan and the danger of Da Xian Mountain and the dispatch of troops to Lu'an to rescue Lu Kang, which is obviously sarcastic Wang Li is just a hypocrite, except for the righteousness of friends, he has no mind for his family and country.

Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai talked eloquently to Lu'an City, but Sun Ce on the side was already furious when he heard the word "Huang Zhong", as if Huang Zhong stepped on his tail, his face was red, and he gritted his teeth and jumped out word by word.

"If the old man Huang comes, Sun must let him taste what is called the first shot in the world and what is called the first torture in the world!"

……

The sun finally set, but the sky erupted with a brilliant afterglow, as if a huge paintbrush was swaying wantonly on the horizon, and the sky was also dyed crimson, like a magnificent sea of red.

"Knock knock!"

Several agitated war drums suddenly sounded outside the city, and tens of thousands of infantry and iron cavalry suddenly appeared in the open field ahead. They swept over the mountains and fields like a sea tide with the momentum of the Yellow Spring falling from the top to the poor, from far to near in the sight of everyone.

The horses' hooves are surging, and the jingos are numerous.

In the sound of war drums, five ironclad dragons flew in, and their arrogance was so great that it was like the Milky Way falling into the nine heavens; The speed of the disease is like a thunderbolt in the sky.

"Brother Wentai, since you're here, let's meet here!" Approaching the city gate, five long dragons suddenly bypassed the city gate and came to everyone's eyes, and a long howl came from the array.

The phalanx in the middle suddenly opened, and a white cavalry of more than a thousand people flew out of the ranks like lightning. They were disciplined and solemn, and although they were galloping, they still kept a neat pace, and a touch of white tassels flowed like water on their helmets.

The person at the head is nearly thirty years old with a white horse and a white saddle, kicking the waist and hips of the shadow, and wearing white clothes with the wind, it is Wang Li Wang Deyu, the former general of the Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian's eyes froze, and he patted his horse to greet him: "When I got up early in the morning, I heard the magpie chirping outside my tent, Sun was thinking about which old man he would reunite with today, but it turned out that Deyu was here in person, but I don't know what Deyu came here for?" ”

This Sun Wentai is worthy of being called a hero along with Cao Cao and others, knowing that this general will be Lu'an today, but he disguised himself as a little white who didn't know anything.

Wang Li smiled faintly, and did not break through Sun Jian's careful thoughts, but spoke like a knife to Sun Jian's heart: "Brother Wentai, don't talk nonsense, you left Jiangdong a few months ago to have a bird's-eye view of the Lujiang River, do you still remember what Wang said to you in Danyang that day?" ”

If one day Wang Mou leveled the secluded, Hebei, Yan, and Henan, and hunted on both sides of the Yangtze River with you, what should you do?

The man's husband should be a war horse, galloping the field, happy and revenge, repaying kindness and resentment!

Wang Li's words brought Sun Jian back to the scene when they met in Danyang that day, and the conversation between the two of them flashed back to his mind.

Sun Jian's cheeks were slightly red, and he already understood Wang Li's current meaning: This Yuzhou is in Wang Li's pocket, and it should not be his place to stay, but he himself violated the oath of the day, how can he talk about a man who is happy and vengeful?

Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't want to anger the little overlord on the side with these words, Sun Ce rode out, and the overlord pointed his gun at Wang Li and shouted: "Wang Deyu, Sun heard that you said to the big-eared thief at the beginning: What is the matter of the country and the enmity?" Why do you rehash the old jokes today? ”

"Jokes? Sun Bofu, you are simply a joke in the world, your father is a man of promises, you dare to say in front of tens of thousands of athletes in your Jiangdong today, what he said that day was just a joke, how do you let your father govern the army? ”

Wang Li smiled coldly, and suddenly his face changed, "General Ben and your father have always been brothers, as a junior, you don't know how to advance or retreat, you actually want to be on an equal footing with General Ben and your father, what is the reason?" ”

"This..."

Sun Ce was speechless for a while, his face was red and blue for a while, and his hands holding the overlord gun were also bruised. Of course, he remembered that Wang Li had said that he and his father and son had their own friendships and had nothing to do with each other, but the premise was that he had to admit that Wang Li was indeed an equal relationship with his father.

Seeing that Sun Ce was forced by Wang Li to say anything, Sun Jian waved his hand at Sun Ce, and Ce immediately stepped forward: "Deyu, Sun Mou is indeed grateful to you for your great kindness, Sun Mou also said at the beginning that no matter what the outcome is in the future, the virtuous brother will always be the benefactor of my Jiangdong Sun family."

On that day, you and Yuan Benchu were deadlocked in the Central Plains, and the puppet emperor issued an edict to divide the world equally, Sun did have the intention to take this opportunity to take Lujiang.

However, you are right, the matter of Jiangshan has nothing to do with enmity, you and Yuan Highway are the brother-in-law of the Huangfu family, you and Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde also have a lot of affection, and the big-eared thief has received a few kindnesses from you, but now? Aren't they all defeated by your hands?

Sun may be a little sorry for you, or maybe he will take advantage of the danger of others to fall into the ground, but this Lu'an is not your ban, and Lujiang County is only surnamed Lu and not Wang, if you insist on saying that Sun is treacherous, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, right? ”

Wang Li laughed, the Zhongxing sword in his hand suddenly came out of the sheath, and slapped it on the war horse: "Right is right, wrong is wrong." Brother Wentai is right, this is a bit of the happy revenge of the year!

Since Brother Wentai is still the iron-blooded man with clear grievances back then, then Wang dares to ask: Brother Wentai, do you dare to fight with Wang today? ”

Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife was raised at the same time, and a long roar was full of pride: "Sun has always been good friends with Deyu, and he also admires Deyu as a person. ”

"Boom!"

The strong shouts of the soldiers on both sides exploded under Lu'an City like a tsunami, and the battle was about to break out.
