Chapter 39, Liu Guanzhang

"Alas~"

A man stood on the head of Zhuoxian County and sighed, this person was seven feet tall, his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were like grease, and the most unusual thing about ordinary people was his ears.

The earlobes were so wide and low that when he lowered his head, they seemed to touch his shoulders.

If Zhang Hao is here, he doesn't need a man to introduce himself, just by looking at these strange big ears, he can guess who he is.

Yes, he is Liu Bei, Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei's grandfather was an official, and his family was quite good when he was a child. However, after the death of his grandfather, his father also died early, and the family was in a state of decline, so he could only rely on his mother for his life and make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes.

When he was fifteen years old, Liu Bei went out to study, and was sponsored by Liu Yuanqi, an uncle of the same sect, and together with his son Liu Deran, he worshiped under Lu Zhimen, who was the Taishou of Jiujiang at the time.

Studying with Liu Bei was Gongsun Zhan, who was older than him, and Liu Bei regarded him as his brother, and the relationship between the two was very good.

After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei responded to the call of the imperial court and organized a rebel army in the township, preparing to defect to Gongsun Zhan, who was now serving as the county magistrate of Zhuo County.

On his way here, he ran into two people.

One is nine feet tall, with a red face and a long beard, and his surname is Guan and Yuzi Yunchang.

One is eight feet tall, with a black face and a beard, and his surname is Zhang Feizi Yide.

The three of them all felt that each other was very human, and they hit it off at first sight and walked together. After coming to Zhuoxian, he slept every night, like siblings, so he was commensurate with brothers according to his age.

Gongsun Zan saw Liu Bei again after many years, and he was very happy. At this time, Gao Sheng's Yellow Turban Army came to attack the city, so he sent Liu Bei to guard the eastern city wall.

With the help of his two good brothers, Liu Bei successfully defended and did not let the Yellow Turban Army climb the city wall for a single step.

At this moment, he looked at the dense camp outside the city, and his heart was full of emotion, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Fei is a violent temper, he always listens to Liu Bei sighing there, and his heart is also irritable.

"Big brother, why do you always sigh, the eldest husband should face the difficulties and let go, why do you sigh like a woman."

Guan Yu habitually stroked his favorite long beard, and said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, how can you talk to the eldest brother, the eldest brother is worried, and it is not something we can understand." The three of us are like brothers, and we should solve problems for our eldest brother. ”

"But the eldest brother just sighed, and he didn't say what he was worried about." Zhang Fei said somewhat innocently.

"Alas," Liu Bei sighed again and stopped: "Don't argue between the two virtuous brothers, it's hurt and angry." ”

He looked out of the city, with a sad face: "I am lamenting the suffering of all the people in the world, you see these Yellow Turban Army outside the city, which of them was originally not a good family, a simple people, but now they have been forced to become thieves." How can this not be heart-wrenching. ”

"This is all to blame for the Son of Heaven for listening to slander and ignoring the government, causing villains to be in charge, fighting for power and profit, regardless of the lives of the people." Zhang Fei blurted out, "Since this world has collapsed, there should be benevolent people who come forward to support the Han family." So it's useless to sigh like you, big brother. ”

"Yide, how dare you talk about the Son of Heaven." Liu Bei looked at him and said.

Guan Yu helped Zhang Fei speak: "Big brother, Yide is right, now there are people with lofty ideals in the whole world, who doesn't say that the Son of Heaven is stupid, and he is close to the villain and far from the virtuous." ”

"Even Yun Chang said that?"

"Big brother, isn't it your ambition to save the common people from fire and water, and to help the community from danger? Now that the Taiping Road is harming the people, and the Yellow Turban Army is causing chaos in the world, as Yide said, it should be the time for a benevolent person like you to work hard. With me and Yide by your side, I believe that one day, you will be able to achieve what you want. ”

Guan Yu looked directly at Liu Bei, and his eyes revealed a sense of encouragement with you.

Liu Bei no longer sighed, nodded heavily, and reinvigorated: "Yes, I shouldn't just worry about the present and stagnate, but I should look to the future." One day, I, Liu Xuande, can work with my two brothers to change this troubled world. ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "This is my eldest brother Zhang Yide." ”

At this time, there were suddenly drums outside the city, and it was the Yellow Turban Army that was about to attack. The three of them didn't have time to sympathize with each other, so they immediately began to arrange manpower and prepare for defense.

……

Because of yesterday's gambling contract, Gao Sheng, Cheng Yuanzhi, and Zhao Mu each led their troops to attack Zhuoxian, and the three of them adopted the method of drawing lots to decide who was responsible for which side. Gao Sheng drew to the east gate, Cheng Yuanzhi drew to the north gate, and Zhao Mu drew to the south gate.

At the same moment today, all three walls were attacked by the Yellow Turbans.

Because the lives of the three were at stake, they asked their subordinates to attack the city at all costs. Although the losses are heavy, they are more effective than before.

Because of the relationship between the Yellow Turban Army's main attack on the east before, most of the troops in the city were concentrated there.

Today, the other two walls were suddenly attacked, which caught the defenders of the city by surprise. Breakthroughs were made on both the north and south fronts, and they reached the top of the city for the first time in a month.

Seeing that his subordinates had already rushed to the city and fought bloody battles with the officers and soldiers, Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhao Mu thought of going together: I didn't expect that Gao Sheng, a fool, could also hit by mistake and make a plan.

Although he conceived a little differently, after all, the strategy of attacking the city separately was indeed something he came up with.

But so what? Gao Sheng's luck was too north, and he won the east gate with the most concentrated guards in the city, and he was still fighting with the officers and soldiers at the moment.

And the two of them had already reached the top of the city, and were about to storm the city.

Cheng Yuanzhi thought: Even if you are lucky enough to come up with such a method, it's a pity that you will die in the end, which you can take the initiative to mention.

The Yellow Turban Army has already reached the top of the city, and with the large number of people, it will not be easy to take them down.

Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, the two generals who were responsible for guarding the two city walls, had already sent many messages to Gongsun Chan asking for help.

And the reinforcements that arrived were still not enough to resist more and more Yellow Turban Army. The north and south gates are in danger.

Outside the East Gate, Gao Sheng's subordinates came to report: "Da Qu Shuai, Cheng Qu Shuai and Zhao Qu Shuai's subordinates have all climbed the city tower, and now they are fighting a bloody battle with the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can attack the city." ”

"What did you say?" Gao Sheng was shocked, "I haven't made progress on my side yet, why are the two of them so fast?" ”

If they were allowed to go in first, they would not have to apologize with death.

A cronie beside him analyzed: "Da Qu Shuai, if your subordinates guess correctly, the reason why the two Qu Shuai can be so fast should be due to the strategy you proposed to attack the city at the same time. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Gao Sheng hurriedly asked.

"Originally, our army besieged the city on all sides, but it attacked one wall alone, so that the main defensive forces in the city were arranged in the east, while the other three sides were weaker.

Today, the strategy of the Da Qu Marshal was used, and the officers and soldiers in the city did not have time to react, so that the Da Qu Shuai was still attacking the stronger east, while the two Qu Marshal were attacking the weaker north and south. ”

After the subordinates explained, Gao Sheng understood after a while, and immediately scolded: "Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhao Mu, the two bastards, actually took advantage of Lao Tzu, and in the end they still wanted Lao Tzu's life." ”

He suddenly felt that the lottery was also arranged by them, and he deliberately let himself draw the East Gate, so as to harm himself. Completely forgot that it was the lottery he proposed at the time, and he was lucky to draw the east gate first.

Gao Sheng roared angrily: "Immediately send my order, let everyone withdraw, let's attack Ximen!" ”

The subordinate persuaded: "Da Qu Shuai can't do it, even if we rush over now, it will be useless, the two Qu Shuai are already too far ahead."

Gao Sheng was furious and thundered: "Bastard! Beast! Dog thief! Go, bring me my broadsword, and I'll personally lead the siege!" ”

He was going to make a last stand, and if he really died in front of everyone because he lost the bet, it would be better to die on the battlefield.

With his weapons in hand, Gao Sheng led his men and rushed directly to the battlefield. Because the main general personally came to the battlefield to join the battle, the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers was suddenly greatly boosted, and they changed their previous decline, sacrificed themselves and forgot to die, and became more and more brave the more they fought.

Gao Sheng was self-reliant and unstoppable, and soon climbed to the top of the city, killed a clearing, and together with his subordinates, gained a firm foothold in the city.

Subsequently, more and more Yellow Turban soldiers also boarded up and fought with the officers and soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Gao Sheng's heart was extremely happy and proud, maybe he could enter the city first and turn defeat into victory.

Just when he wanted to continue to expand the position where the Yellow Turban Army stood at the head of the city, a black-faced man stood in front of him, it was Zhang Fei.

Gao Sheng looked at Zhang Fei contemptuously: "You, look at your dress, is it the guard of the East Gate." Since you came to die, it just so happened that the provincial Daqu Shuai came to look for you. ”

At this time, the situation in the city is no longer optimistic, and if it drags on, there will be a danger of breaking the city.

It just so happened that Zhang Fei saw Gao Sheng, who was surrounded by many people, and immediately guessed that this should be a yellow turban leader, as long as he was killed, the crisis in the city could be alleviated.

"Phew, you thief is talking wildly, you don't know your own catties, look at your grandfather Zhang's life! Take your life! ”

Zhang Fei roared angrily, as if he suddenly covered the shouting and killing sound on the city, and almost scared Gao Sheng to death. Even so, the knife in his hand was a little hard to hold.

Seeing that Zhang Fei had already rushed over, Gao Sheng shouted loudly to give himself courage: "Don't think that I will be afraid of you if you scream, everyone will come with me and kill this black dog official!" ”

It's a pity that the few subordinates who rushed to the front were not Zhang Fei's opponents, and they were all stabbed in the chest with the spear in his hand.

When Zhang Fei killed in front of Gao Sheng, taking advantage of the fact that the two subordinates had blocked it for a while, Gao Sheng wanted to hack Zhang Fei to death together with his subordinates.

As soon as the knife went down, the subordinates in front of him were dead, but his own knife was blocked by Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei looked at the frightened expression on Gao Sheng's face, and before he could react, the spear in his hand was like a bamboo, directly stabbing Gao Sheng and his men, stringing them together.

Then picked up the knife of the dead soldier on the ground, and cut down the head of the high promotion with a knife, Zhang Fei once again showed his earth-shattering voice: "The enemy general is dead, the head is here!" ”

After seeing Gao Sheng's head, many yellow turbans shouted in horror: "Da Qu Shuai is dead!" Daqu Shuai is dead! ”

This made the morale of the Yellow Turban Army drop suddenly, how high it rose before, how fast it fell now.

The yellow turbans on the city were soon driven down again.
