Chapter 262: Xingping 1/3
The snow was all over the ground, and the cold wind was like a knife.
In the barracks outside the city, Liu Bei was wearing thick cotton clothes and was roasting a fire in the big tent. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a cold wind mixed with snow poured in. Liu Bei raised his head and saw that a thick layer of snow had fallen on Guan Yu's body. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Yun Chang, come over and bake the fire, this year's heavy snow is really going to freeze to death!" ”
Guan Yuzai walked over, sat down beside Liu Bei, then took out a letter and said, "This is what Su Shuang just delivered." ”
After Liu Bei took the letter, he didn't read it first, but patted Guan Yu's shoulder and swept away the snow on him, and then unfolded the letter, and only after taking a look at it, he couldn't help but let out a "huh".
Guan Yu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Bei said: "Wen Zheng sent us two hundred war horses, thirty collars of steel armor, one hundred sets of cotton clothes and one hundred horizontal knives this time, in addition to a thousand gold and some other things. ”
Guan Yu thought for a while and said, "How many miles from Liangzhou to Hebei?" It was not easy to send some cotton clothes in the past, how could there be so many things this time? ”
"Where is Su Shuang?" Liu Bei said: "Hurry up and invite him over." ”
A moment later, Su Shuang appeared in Liu Bei's big tent, and Zhang Fei rushed over when he heard the news. Liu Bei said: "The third brother came over to drink some wine to ward off the cold." Mr. Su, this time when you come back from Liangzhou, the road is very dangerous, right? ”
Su Shuang stretched out his hand to the flame and said with a smile: "Thanks to Duke Xuande, although this trip is a bit hard, it is not dangerous. ”
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "What does this have to do with me?" The gentleman is too modest. When I went to Liangzhou this time, I saw Chen Yuanjun? ”
"See."
"How is Wen Zheng's complexion? The injury is healed. ”
"Chen Yuanjun's demeanor is still the same, compared with last year, his body is more imposing!"
Liu Bei's heart calmed down for a while, and then asked: "From Liangzhou to Youzhou, there are Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes blocking the road, how can you transport so many things over?" ”
Su Shuangdao: "Most of the Huns in the clouds have been moved into Taiyuan County by Dong Zhuo, and General Xu Rong personally sent the convoy to Yanmen County with 2,000 soldiers and horses, so there is not much danger all the way over. ”
Zhang Fei drank a few bowls of wine, his body was hot, and he said loudly: "What good things did Wen Zheng send over this time?" ”
Su Shuang said with a smile: "Everything is on the gift list, and in addition, there are some things that are specially given to the three generals." ”
"Oh, Wen Zheng just said that there was a special gift, but it wasn't written on the letter, but I don't know what it is?"
Su Shuangdao: "I'm also curious, but the box is tightly nailed, and I can't know." The things have already been brought, why don't Xuan Degong go and see them now? ”
Liu Bei was interested, and he didn't care that it was still snowing outside, so he went to the tent where the goods were stored with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. There, a large box was lying on the ground. The big box was more than a zhang long and rectangular, Zhang Fei saw it and laughed: "It looks like a big coffin, but I don't know who can grow so big!" ”
Liu Bei said unhappily: "Yide is cautious! Wenzheng is in a heart, how can you be so rude? ”
Zhang Fei spewed out the smell of wine in his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "Wen Zhengcai won't care about this!" ”
He could not wait for the soldiers to do anything, so he ran forward and pried open the large boxes, only to see that there were several long boxes inside, and the gaps were filled with catkins and wheat stalks. Zhang Fei muttered a sentence and opened them one by one. After the first chest on the top was opened, there was a pair of swords in the scabbard, he grabbed one, drew the sword out of the sheath, and with a crisp and pleasant sound, a sword longer than the ring head appeared in front of everyone.
"Good sword!" Zhang Fei is knowledgeable, and when he looks at the satin pattern on the sword, he knows that the sword in his hand is made of the best steel. This sword is already so good, and the other sword will naturally not be much worse. He put the sword aside and opened the second box, but it was a long-pole weapon, and Zhang Fei lifted it up, only to feel that it was much heavier than the usual sword, shield, spear, and spear.
When I looked closely, I saw several big characters engraved on it, "Qinglong Yanyue Knife". Zhang Fei grabbed the three-meter-long "Green Dragon Glaive Knife" with both hands and waved it in the big tent. The wind suddenly rose, and the soldiers on the side changed color in shock, and hurriedly avoided it, Guan Yu shouted: "Third brother, be careful!" ”
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "When I saw such a good weapon, I was overjoyed, and I forgot for a while, don't blame the two brothers!" ”
He weighed the weight of the long-handled machete in his hand and said, "It's too long, it's too heavy, it's not suitable for foot combat, but it can be used in cavalry combat." ”
When Zhang Fei opened the third box, Guan Yu opened another small box and saw that there was another letter inside. He didn't open it to look at it, but handed it to Liu Bei's hand. Liu Bei unfolded it, and saw that the font on it was like a silver hook iron painting, which was written by Chen Cheng himself.
"The male and female double-strand sword was given to Brother Xuande, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was given to Second Brother Guan, and the Eight Snake Spears were given to Third Brother Zhang."
After Liu Bei finished reading, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Wenzheng has a heart." ”
Zhang Fei grabbed the "Zhangba Snake Spear" and said, "This spear is good, but where is there a Zhangbachi Spear?" Obviously, there is only one zhang two or three, and it is not bent, why is it called a zhang eight snake snake spear? ”
"This .........", Liu Bei pondered for a while and said, "Maybe Wenzheng has another deep meaning." ”
Zhang Fei didn't give up, and asked, "What is the deep meaning?" ”
“..........”
Guan Yu couldn't stand it anymore, stopped Zhang Fei, and said, "Wenzheng also sent thirty collars of steel armor over, why don't you go and pick a good pair of them?" ”
An iron armor needs at least a thousand times, and a steel armor can't be thousands of times? Thirty collars is nearly 100,000. Moreover, armor is a militaristic weapon, and it is not something that can be bought casually if you have money. Zhang Fei was immediately diverted, no longer caring about the name of the weapon in his hand, and went to pick out the armor in a hurry.
He and Guan Yu are both quite large, and ordinary armor can't be worn at all, so they need special ones. Sure enough, among those armors, there was a very large one, and a slightly smaller one, needless to say, it was for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Looking at Zhang Fei's happy appearance, Liu Bei's face darkened. Guan Yu met him on the side and asked, "Brother seems to have something on his mind?" ”
Liu Bei looked left and right, and said to Guan Yu and Su Shuang: "We intersected with Wenzheng three years ago. Three years later, Wenzheng already owned the land of a state, and was named Liangzhou Mu by the imperial court. On the other hand, we are still trapped within a radius of 100 miles. In contrast, rather than ashamed? ”
As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but be silent. He and Zhang Fei are both rare fierce generals in the world, but there are few soldiers, how many waves can be set off in Hebei, a place where tens of thousands of people fight? Now that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao are fighting for Hebei, there are more and more soldiers and horses piled up on the front line on both sides, and their troops of one or two thousand people are in danger of capsizing at any time.
Youzhou is not as rich as Hebei, and most of the places are still occupied by Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan can use very few places to raise soldiers, Liu Bei's side line has not been sufficient, if it weren't for Chen Cheng to send a lot of money, I am afraid that the number of soldiers and horses in his hands will be much less.
Now the situation in Hebei is unclear, even with Guan Yu's martial arts, he doesn't dare to say what it will do. But he was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The lives of thousands of soldiers are entrusted to the elder brother, why is the eldest brother so depressed?" Now that the situation is unfavorable, then use the sword in our hands to break a way! ”
Liu Bei perked up when he heard this, and said, "What Yun Chang said is true! ”
He said to Su Shuang on the side: "I was sentimental for a while, but I made Mr. smile."
Su Shuang said: "How dare you? Meng Xuande did not give up, and allowed me the right to trade. But if you are just a businessman, where can you be worthy of the title of Mr.? Xuande Gong is now a general who commands thousands of troops, and the future will definitely be promising! ”
"Then I will inherit Mr.'s good words."
Su Shuangdao: "Zhang Shiping went to Liangzhou with me, and was received by Chen Yuanjun at the same time. He was in charge of transporting the gifts to General Tian Yu, and I was in charge of the gifts to Xuande Gong, and things were similar on both sides. But Chen Yuanjun didn't make weapons for General Tian! ”
"Haha," Zhang Fei walked over wearing steel armor at this time, and laughed: "This shows that in Wen Zheng's heart, it is more important for me to wait!" ”
Liu Bei said: "Otherwise, it's just that the country has made the use of troops more stable, and it's not like us who often go into battle to fight." ”
"Hey, isn't Wen Zheng often leading troops to the front?" Zhang Fei shouted: "I've heard that in the battle of Huangbei Mountain, Wen Zheng led his guards to attack the defense line of Huangfu Song's army, and he was wearing dozens of vultures and arrogant battles!" ”
His voice is so loud that even if he speaks normally, others will think he is yelling.
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "As a state pastor, he still likes to charge into battle so much, isn't there anyone to dissuade him?" ”
Su Shuang smiled and said: "Chen Yuanjun's martial arts are famous all over the world. Nowadays, the people of Liangzhou are called 'Xiliang Overlord', and the people of Qianghu call him 'General Shenweitian' and 'General Fei'. A peerless general like Chen Yuanjun, probably no one dares to persuade him. ”
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking about the situation of the battle of Huangbei Mountain, and couldn't help but be very fascinated.
In the third year of the first peace, most of the world was at war, and all parts of the country were in fierce turmoil, and the ownership of counties often changed several times in a month. But the biggest change is that the imperial court lost Guanzhong, a place to provide soldiers and money and food, and everyone knew that He Jin's time was short, just to see when the imperial court in Luoyang collapsed.
The following year, He Jin changed the yuan in the name of the Son of Heaven and named it "Xingping". The era name is more auspicious than the other, but how can it hide the declining trend of the imperial court? Even Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others were waiting for the imperial court to take their last breath.
As soon as the Chinese New Year began, Cao Cao of Dongjun launched a fierce attack on the northern kingdom of Jibei, completely expelled the remnants of the local Yellow Turban and the thieves of Mount Tai, seized the entire northern kingdom of Jibei, and then used troops to the west, defeated the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and captured Chenliu. In this battle, Cao Cao killed his top boss Liu Dai again. Chen Gong, a native of Dongjun, immediately suggested that Cao Cao take over as the pastor of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao happily accepted it, and regarded Chen Gongtai as a confidant from then on.
Yuan Shu also sent the strongest military general in his hand, Sun Jian, again, and ordered him to lead 30,000 troops to take the Tiger Prison Pass. In other places, many battles broke out. The princes ignored that spring was the time for ploughing, and a new round of war was set off.
