It had been some time since Lü Bu had followed Zhang Yang back to Hanoi, and by this time, he had less than 3,000 men left.

Gao Shun's trapped camp is still intact, but there are only more than 1,200 people left in the wolf cavalry battalion, less than 600 in the Shenbow battalion, more than 300 infantry, and a baggage battalion of more than 100 people.

Zhang Yang naturally knew Lü Bu's plight, so in the name of "jointly deploying Hanoi", he lent him 10,000 horses and horses, and supplemented him with grain, grass and ordnance.

Lu Bu refused several times, but in the end he couldn't resist Zhang Yang's stubbornness, so he accepted it.

On this day, Zhang Yang invited Lu Bu to the house for tea, and after thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu decided to tell Zhang Yang the truth about Dong Zhuo.

……

"Alas! I don't want Dong Zhuo to be so heroic, but Yuan Shao is so hypocritical. In this way, it seems that I was confused at the beginning. Zhang Yang listened to everything, sighed and said regretfully.

"If it weren't for Lu Bu being by the lord's side, I'm afraid I wouldn't know the truth, not to mention that General Zhang was far away in the party at that time."

"Feng Xian, in fact, I have heard of your loyalty. In the future, if you have any problems, do not hesitate to speak. ”

"Thank you General Zhang, General Lu Bumeng rescued him, it is difficult to repay the great kindness, how dare you ask for it again." Lu Bu said modestly.

"Fengxian, don't you believe me?" Zhang Yang was slightly angry.

In fact, Zhang Yang guessed well, after going through a lot, Lu Bu is no longer gullible to anyone now.

"General Zhang's words are serious, Lu Bu is indeed all right now, and he doesn't want anything."

"Alas~~ Fengxian, why are you like this. Then I ask you, do you know that this is the first time you and I have met? ”

"If you count the time before the water pass, it should be the second time." Lu Bu thought and said.

"It's the third time." Zhang Yang smiled bitterly.

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked puzzled.

"Naturally, you won't know that you have already set up 10,000 soldiers and horses for the general." Zhang Yang looked at Lu Bu helplessly.

"Where did the general start with this?" Of course, Lu Bu was puzzled, since the princes of Bishui Pass begged Dong, he had never seen Zhang Yang, how could he say that.

"Naturally, you haven't heard of it," Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Can you know that after you escaped from Chang'an, you received an edict in the name of Li Dao's fake Son of Heaven?" ”

"Oh? Could it be that he wants to intercept and kill Lu Bu by the general? ”

"Not bad. In fact, I did set off with 50,000 soldiers and horses, but it was not to kill you. ”

"Lu Bu is stupid."

"After you went to seek refuge with Yuan Shu and were rejected, did you really think that Yuan Shu was willing to let you leave like this?"

"Isn't he ......?"

"Exactly, he sent Ji Ling to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to chase you behind, but because you didn't see Ji Ling, you didn't know."

"Is it the general, you blocked it for Lu Bu?" Lu Bu finally understood.

Yuan Shu was narrow-minded and thought that since he rejected you, he was afraid that he would be in trouble in the future, so he decided to get rid of you. Hehe, if you just look at this style of acting, the personalities of the Yuan brothers are indeed similar. My scouts reported that they had found Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, so I led a large army to stop them. It's just that I did underestimate Yuan Shu, although he is incompetent, but he also knows how to raise soldiers. I fell into Ji Ling's trap and lost more than 10,000 horses, so I withdrew to join you, but I didn't know that you had already been picked up by Yuan Shao. ”

"This ...... Because of Lu Bu alone, the general lost his troops and lost his generals, and I ...... I'm ashamed of the general. With that, Lu Bu got up and bowed his hand to thank him.

Zhang Yang hurriedly got up and let go, and the two sat down again.

"It's just...... Why is the general willing to help Lu Bu? ”

In fact, it was just a coincidence, and he had always been dissatisfied with Yuan's style of acting, and Feng Xian was poor at that time. is also a soldier and a horse in the state, do you want me to help outsiders? ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his nose was sour, and his eyes were moist. In such a sinister world, there are still people who can be so righteous.

"General Zhang," Lu Bu took out Mo Yue's token from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yang, "Although this thing is owned by the thief, Lu Bu still has to give it to the general." On the one hand, if there is a villain who wants to assassinate the general in the future, the general can clasp his chest with his right hand, saying that the blade of the long sword has been damaged, or he may be able to save the day; Both, I, Lu Bu, swear by this card that I will never be the enemy of the general. ”

Zhang Yang smiled and pushed the token back to Lu Bu with his hand.

"How?" Lu Bu was puzzled, could it be that Zhang Yang didn't believe in himself?

"Hehe, Lu Bu's loyalty, how can he be entrusted to mundane things? But since you have said this, there is a proposal below.

"General, please."

"How about you and I becoming brothers?"

"Lu Bu can't ask for it!"

The two came to the courtyard, set up an incense burner table under the tree, bowed down and swore an oath, and formed brothers with different surnames.

Lü Bu finally had an ally in the troubled times, and Zhang Yang, after learning that Lü Bu had nowhere to go, suggested that he stay for the time being.

Zhang Yang set aside a separate residence for Lu Bu, and Lu Bu and Diao Chan moved in.

In order to prevent Lu Bu's brothers from being uneasy, Zhang Yang repaired several houses next to him and gave them to Zhang Liao and others.

So except for Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Gao Shun, everyone else lived here.

Everything seems to be gradually getting better, but everyone including Lu Bu ignores the existence of one person.

……

In the quiet and peaceful night, Lu Bu leaned against the wall and half-leaned on the bed, Diao Chan lay quietly on his chest.

"Diao Chan, after several twists and turns, has finally settled down now. I just hope that I don't have to live a life of exile in the future. ”

"Fengxian, no matter what happens in the future, I will not leave your side." Diao Chan shrank slightly towards Lu Bu and whispered.

"I'm going to stay here for a while." Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.

"Maybe that's the fate." Diao Chan smiled.

The next moment, the two of them left the bed at the same time, and Diao Chan suddenly had a thin sword in his hand and stabbed out of the window, and Lu Bu also punched him.

Just as they were talking, the instinct of the warrior told them that there was someone outside the window. So the two attacked at the same time.

The thin sword and fist stopped at the same time, because the person with a smile outside the window, both of them were all too familiar - Zhang Feng.

"What do you want?" Lu Bu said angrily.

"If you think this will calm your anger, kill me." Zhang Feng's eyes flickered, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Kaede, what are you doing here?" Diao Chan wondered.

"I figured it out, as long as you can be happy, as for other things, it doesn't matter." As he spoke, Zhang Feng threw the dagger in his hand into the courtyard.

"You ......" Lu Bu was also puzzled by Zhang Feng's move. What happened made him suddenly repent.

"I only hope you can be happy," he said, taking out a letter from his bosom and handing it to Lu Bu, "A few days ago, I met a person from the branch and intercepted this letter, and I have killed that person to avoid the rumors of walking. It's just that I've been hesitating to hand it over to the general for the past two days. ”

Lu Bu took the letter, opened it and looked at it, his hands trembled instantly.

There are not many words on the letter: his subordinates knew that Mo Shuai loved Xuan'er very much, so he took it upon himself to let him go, and now he is Cao Cao's staff. I hope that Mo Shuai can persuade the four sages to forgive Xuan'er and allow him to make meritorious contributions.

This letter was not fabricated, when Zhang Feng was wandering outside the city a few days ago, he did meet the person sent by Lu Yuan to deliver the letter-Feng Xu. Zhang Feng didn't know what Feng Xu was going to do when he came to Hebei, but he knew that there must be something important. So he took advantage of Feng Xu's rest, secretly approached, and killed him with one move.

After that, he searched for this secret letter, and when he learned about Duan Xuan's whereabouts, he took the letter to Lu Bu's residence.

After Lu Bu finished reading it, he became angry again after calming down.

"Diao Chan, I'm afraid that this peaceful day has come to an end." Lu Bu sighed and said.

"Feng Xian......" Diao Chan's eyes flashed with sadness, after all, she didn't want Lu Bu to wander all the time.

"General, if you want to kill Brother Xuan, I have a plan."

As Zhang Feng told his plan, Lu Bu and Diao Chan's eyes widened.

North Sea.

Zhang Fei brandished a spear and pierced the Yellow Turban Rebels beside him.

"There is no order to speak of, alas." He shook the man's body aside and shook his head in disappointment.

"Having said that, General Zhang's martial arts are also really strong, and these chaotic armies composed of ordinary people are indeed worrisome."

The person who spoke was called Tai Shici, he was a righteous person, affectionate, and very calm. Liu, Guan, and Zhang came to help Beihai Xiang Kong Rong because of his request for help. Guan Hai, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, had been living by plundering, but just like this, he couldn't meet the basic needs of this team, so he decided to attack Beihai in a vain attempt to occupy a city where he could rest.

Kong Rong usually emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, and because of this, he can't even quickly organize people to defend the city when he is invaded by thieves.

In desperation, he had no choice but to send Tai Shici Quartet for help.

But the princes of the Quartet only cared about strengthening themselves, and pushed and delayed in every way, only Liu Bei led the army to help.

After a battle without suspense, Guan Hai finally withdrew.

At this time, the news of Liu Yu's death also came.

The contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan continued to intensify, making Liu Yu think that Gongsun Chan would be unfavorable to him sooner or later, so he did it first.

Liu Yu led an army of 100,000 to attack Gongsun Zhan, but failed because of the same mistake as Kong Rong - he only focused on benevolence and neglected to train the army, resulting in this 100,000 army being unable to resist the fierce attack of Gongsun Zhan's white horse and righteous servants, and was suppressed in an instant.

Ignoring the mediation of the imperial court, Gongsun Chan coerced Duan Xun, an envoy sent by the emperor, to behead Liu Yu and his wife and children.

Liu Bei couldn't help but regret that his former classmates and friends also slowly lost themselves in this troubled world and became fierce and cruel.

And Zhang Fei is more worried about Gongsun Zhan, what Yuan Shao is afraid of is that Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu will join forces to deal with him, now that Liu Yu is dead, a single Gongsun Zhan, I am afraid it will be difficult to pose a threat to him anymore.

Hebei's territory gradually gathered, and Yuan Shao changed from the original Bohai Taishou to the biggest overlord in Hebei.

And Gongsun Chan is gradually walking into the grave he dug himself.

Liu Bei didn't realize that the heroes he once admired were about to disappear, and he was gradually replacing their glory......
