Xuzhou, under the city of Xiaopei.

Pengcheng was on fire, and although Hou Cheng was busy rescuing Huan Qi, he did not forget to send a fast horse to inform Zhang Liao and Zang Ba.

It's just that the cavalry sent did not meet Zang Ba, and there was no one along the way, and it was not until Xiaopei City went down that they saw Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses.

Zhang Liao was of course a little surprised when he learned about this.

But at this moment, Zhang Fei, who had been silent in the city, suddenly shouted: "Zhang Liao! My eldest brother has said all the good things, but we really don't know, now that the horses have been handed over, you still don't retreat quickly, could it be that Lu Bu sent you to trouble my eldest brother? ”

Of course, Zhang Fei didn't really think so, but when he saw Zhang Liao's appearance, he knew that Duan Xuan's side must have succeeded, so he deliberately provoked.

When Jian Yong heard him shout, he finally couldn't help it, squatted on the edge of the city tower and covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

This Zhang Yide!

In fact, it's not just him, I'm afraid everyone understands what Zhang Fei meant.

Since you, Zhang Liaoxing, have come over to ask for the guilt, then now that you have something over there, how can I not block you?

It doesn't matter if it's someone else, but Zhang Liao's temper is there, and when he hears Zhang Fei call it like this, he is naturally annoyed.

"Zhang Fei! You don't want to spew blood, it's clear that you waited to take my horse first, and now you bite it, what is the reason! Don't think that if people say you are brave, I am afraid of you! ”

"Ah~ drink! It's a man who will rest under the city, and Zhang will go down to the city to fight with you! ”

"Third brother, forget it." Guan Yu and Liu Bei stopped him at the same time.

"General Wenyuan, we really don't know the truth about the horses. If we knew that it was General Lu's horse, how would we dare to accept it? Please ask General Wenyuan to go back and explain more clearly, and General Lu is not to blame. ”

"Big brother, why not delay him a little longer?" Zhang Fei was a little sorry and muttered quietly.

"Third brother," Guan Yu smiled, "Zhang Liao is also a bloody man, such a righteous man, don't embarrass him anymore." ”

"Alas, well. You are the one who is good, and I am the one who is evil. Zhang Fei shrugged and said.

In fact, he really wanted to go down and fight with Zhang Liao, if nothing else, there had been no battle for a long time, as a martial artist, Zhang Fei was also uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"That's it! In that case, I brought the horse back! Although Zhang Liao was rude, he could also distinguish the importance of the matter, and if he stayed, he was afraid that something would happen.

And just like that, a simple tune off the mountain ended.

……

But why did Zang Ba disappear halfway?

The reason is simple, because he met Zhao Yun again.

Zhao Yun's sudden appearance really made Zang Ba break out in a cold sweat. Because if Zhao Yun raided Pengcheng at this time, maybe it would really succeed.

In fact, Zhao Yun didn't know about the plan this time, he came for another big thing that surprised Zang Ba even more.

Just three days ago, a person suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Yun, and this person should have died - Zhang Bao, who was the old man of the thirteen sages of the former HB General Hall, and was also his own brother.

Of course, Zang Ba also knew the seriousness of this matter, so he gave up chasing Zhang Liao and went to the place where Zhao Yun and his subordinates had been hiding.

Zang Ba could be sure that Zhao Yun was not lying, because if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have exposed himself.

It turned out that Zhao Yun and the others had been hiding in a forest in the northwest of Pengcheng, and because of the supply of Mi Zhu, they did not need to go out.

As he continued to go deeper, Zang Ba also had to admire the ability of Zhao Yun and Long Feng's battalion, who were able to use vegetation as a camouflage to completely hide these thousands of men and horses.

Zhao Yun's residence was nothing more than a tent set up on two old trees, all covered with branches and leaves, and it would not be found from a distance.

Entering the tent, Zang Ba saw a person sitting in the middle at a glance - a middle-aged man with a disheveled head.

Hearing someone coming, he slowly raised his head, and under the light of the torches, his face revealed.

Zang Ba couldn't believe his eyes, they didn't look like a human face at all - there were about seven or eight scars horizontally and vertically, the whole face looked like a bark, and most importantly, this person's eyes were gone.

"Is Zilong back?"

"Yes, Xuangao is also here."

"Oh? The slaves are here too? ”

"Hmm."

The reunion of former companions is such a scene, no one can say what it feels like.

"You ......" Zang Ba hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask, but couldn't open his mouth.

Although his face was completely ruined, his demeanor and tone were definitely Zhang Bao.

"I want to ask why I didn't die, hehe, I told Zilong, okay, let's talk to you again......"

……

In February of the first year of Zhongping (184 AD), the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Only nine months later, the rebel army got the news that Zhang Bao, the "Digong General", was besieged by Zuo Zhonglang's generals Huangfu Song and Julu Taishou Guo Dian and was defeated and killed.

Of course, there are also rumors that his division and strict government betrayed him. While Zhang Bao was resting, Yan Zheng suddenly rebelled, assassinated Zhang Bao, and offered his head to ask for merit.

However, this is not the case.

That night, the person who really died was Yan Zheng.

On the day of the defeat, the momentum of the Han army was unstoppable, and Zhang Bao was about to be surrounded.

His subordinate Yan Zheng proposed to change clothes with Zhang Bao, pretending to be him to continue to command the battle, and let Zhang Bao evacuate.

Zhang Bao naturally didn't agree, but Yan Zheng and the other three subordinates had already had this plan. Therefore, one of them directly knocked Zhang Bao unconscious.

In this way, Yan Zheng stayed on the battlefield in Quyang as a "Digong General", and at the same time left a subordinate. Zhang Bao, on the other hand, was protected by the other two divisions and taken away from the battlefield.

Originally, if things developed like this, Zhang Bao would go to meet Zhang Jiao.

However, the unexpected happened.

One of the two divisions who protected Zhang Bao had a bad idea, and while the others were resting and he was on duty at night, this person actually led his subordinates to kill the other division and his subordinates.

His purpose turned out to be to escort Zhang Bao to ask for merit from the Han Court.

Zhang Bao woke up and saw the scene in front of him, and he already understood what was going on, so he scolded.

And this angered the division even more, he tied Zhang Bao to a tree and gouged out Zhang Bao's two eyes with his hands.

The next day, Zhang Bao was escorted by him to Quyang to return.

Perhaps it was God's mercy, because he couldn't see, Zhang Bao didn't see his feet clearly, stepped on the air halfway, and fell down the mountain.

waited for the sub-division to take people down to look for it, but there was no trace of Zhang Bao.

Because at that time, Zhang Bao had already been rescued by a woodcutter who happened to pass by.

The scars on his face were also repeatedly scratched by the stones and branches on the slope when they fell.

Zhang Bao has no way to find a companion anymore, because many bones on his body have been broken, and even if he recovers from his injuries, what can he do if he can't see anything and has no companions by his side?

……

"Actually, even if you weren't injured at that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the Thirteen Sages old." After listening to Zhang Bao's story, Zang Ba sighed and said.

"Yes, even if I travel day and night, I may not be able to see him for the last time." How many years have passed, and Zhang Bao naturally knows that Zhang Jiao was terminally ill and dying at that time.

"How did you find Zilong?"

"In order to avoid the official army, I had to beg for a living, all the way south, originally I just wanted to Xuzhou to see if the Yellow Turban Grain Depot was still there, I didn't want to know from the former subordinates, you two actually fell out for this grain depot?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun and Zang Ba were silent for a while.

"Alright, you can rest here for the time being." Zhao Yun said and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Zang Ba also followed.

The faces of the two are not good-looking, because the appearance of Zhang Bao is a problem.

"I finally know what you're worried about."

"He's still alive, it's trouble." Zhao Yun said expressionlessly.

"Are you afraid that once HB's Yefeng finds out about this, he will attack him again."

"Although he is a waste, his reputation has been spread. Even if he doesn't think too much now, it is difficult to guarantee that people with a heart will not make a big fuss about it. ”

"Do you want to ......" Zang Ba didn't say anything.

"Why did he appear in Xuzhou...... Now I can only protect him temporarily, and if one of my former companions wants to attack again in his name, then I can only ......"

Zang Ba knew that Zhao Yun had seen too much life and death after a Yellow Turban Rebellion.

His problem is that he is indifferent on the outside, but he is too emotional in his heart, and now he will never allow war in the world, especially in Xuzhou.

Zhao Zilong, what is Ye Feng!

"Oh, I haven't asked you yet. I was going to Pengcheng to look for you, but why did I meet you halfway? It was only at this time that Zhao Yun finally had the heart to talk about something.

"It's just because of some entanglements with horses, I'm chasing Wenyuan."

Zang Ba then told Zhao Yun what had happened.

But after Zhao Yun heard this, he frowned.

"How?" Zang Ba saw him like this, so he asked.

"With what I know about Liu Bei, he wouldn't act like this."

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding."

"You'd better rush back to Pengcheng immediately."

"Why?"

"Zhang Liao has brought out most of the soldiers and horses now......"

Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Zang Ba was also surprised, "Could it be? ”

"I wish I had a lot of heart."

Zang Ba didn't say anything more, because after Zhao Yun said this, he also reacted a little wrong, and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Yun, took his subordinates who were waiting outside the forest, and hurried towards Pengcheng.

……

"The slave is gone?" Zhang Bao asked calmly.

"Gone."

"I've always been curious, since you have fallen out with him before, why do you still meet like a close friend, aren't you afraid that Liu Bei will be suspicious?"

"I'm just protecting Xuzhou, not Liu Bei's subordinates, what can he do if he is suspicious."

Hearing Zhao Yun say this without emotion, Zhang Bao couldn't help but smile, "Sure enough, it's still the Zhao Zilong I know." ”

Then, Zhang Bao raised his lowered head, and Zhao Yun had an illusion, as if there was a sharp gaze shooting from those two black holes.

"What?" Zhao Yun asked.

Zhang Bao smiled slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you want to tell him when to kill me." ”
