Chapter 15: Lu Bu is dead
Purple and gold crown, divided into three forks, red forehead, red glow, silk robe like fire, fog lock embroidered flowers. The bow in the bag is bent like the autumn moon, and the arrows in the pot are all steel. Stepping down the Red Rabbit Horse of the South China Sea, the sword in the box is often bloody. Famous all over the world, heroic battle three heroes. The appearance is unparalleled, and the text is high and martial arts. The painting halberd is horizontally determined, the majestic weather is different, the sea is full of pride, and the enemy has made great contributions, only Wenhou Lu Fengxian.
After riding alone in Pingmian County, in order to show off in front of his wife and daughter, Lu Bu was full of spirits, took the lead in the battle, and grabbed merit when he encountered the enemy, but he only suffered the defenders of the pass along the road, and only dared to fight, so he had no one in front of Lu Bu, and all of them turned into ghosts under Fang Tian's painting halberd, even if he couldn't go out, he was killed by Dong Zhuojun on the wall under the head of Lu Bu, who was a pervert in close combat. From Mianxian County to Xiajiao, Dong Zhuo's army was like a bamboo, and there were only two ways for the Yizhou defenders along the way, one was to surrender, and the other was to annihilate the whole army, and no defender could delay and block this Dong Zhuo's army for a day and a half. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu, who is more sensible, is in the army with Diao Chan, as long as the defenders of Yizhou surrender, Dong Zhuojun will not commit any offense against them, or accept or release, but also avoid many killings. It was not like Kang Peng who led the troops for the first time, and behaved abnormally under great pressure, forcing the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou to resist desperately.
On September 21 of the third year of the first peace, Lu Bu's army was killed outside the city, Zhang Xiu proposed to send an envoy to persuade him to surrender, Lu Bu promised, the messenger entered the city to see Yang Huai, the general of the guard, and handed Lu Bu a handwritten letter, saying that as long as Yang Huai led the army to surrender, he could be spared from death, and promised to be a meritorious knighthood. Yang Huai was furious, ordered to behead the sacrificial flag, and led 5,000 elite soldiers out of the city to fight Lu Bu.
In front of the two armies, Yang Huai, who didn't know the height of the sky, raised his gun and scolded: "The three family slaves, the capricious rats, dare to offend my Yizhou County, quickly dismount and surrender, so as not to stain the general's steel gun." ”
Lu Bu was poked by Yang Huai in front of Diao Chan and scolded: "The anti-country traitor dares to behead my envoy and suffer death!" With a clamp between his legs, the red rabbit horse looked up to the sky and neighed, rushing towards Yang Huai like lightning, raising his hand is a halberd that breaks the sky, Yang Huai raised his gun and received it, and was immediately shocked by Lu Bu to the tiger's mouth, and his chest was like being hit by a boulder, and he almost vomited blood on the spot and died. Only one move, Yang Huai, who was still menacing just now, was arrogant and ran back to the horse, Lu Bu was willing to give up, relying on the horse to catch up quickly, raising his hand and a halberd with all his strength, hitting Yang Huai's heart, beating him to a broken tendon and fracture, and his internal organs were ruptured and killed on the spot, Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to drive the army to kill, the Yizhou army was leaderless, and was defeated by Dong Zhuojun, and Dong Zhuojun took advantage of the situation to seize Xiafen City.
"Congratulations to Wen Hou, the general has made meritorious contributions, and our army has won another great victory, I believe that the Taishi will be very happy." After the battle, Zhang Xiu congratulated Lu Bu. But Lu Bu kept a straight face, didn't say a word, as if he had something on his mind, Zhang Xiu knew that he was in a bad mood, and didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so he immediately excused himself to go out of the list and slip away.
Lu Bu sat down with a straight face, and when he was troubled, Diao Chan hugged his second daughter Lu Qiling and came looking for him. Diao Chan guessed what was on his mind, sat beside him and said softly: "Wen Hou, but you are troubled by the insult of the enemy general in front of the battle?" ”
Lu Bu said sullenly: "At the beginning, Ding Yuan was very good to me, and said that I had Hu blood, only by recognizing him as my father-in-law, he could be promoted and reused for me, in order not to let my ability be exposed in the wilderness, I begged to recognize him as my father, and later, Ding Yuan treated me more and more meanly, and I did all the dirty work, but the official position has always been a state master. It was Dong Yi's father who found me, and even his precious red rabbit horse was rewarded to me to ride, and he ordered me to kill Ding Yuan, Dong Yi's father was originally the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and his official position was higher than me and Ding Yuan, can I not listen to his orders? I acted on the orders of the imperial court, but I didn't expect to end up with the infamy of this capricious three-surnamed slave. ”
Diao Chan said in his heart that you didn't tell the truth, Dong Zhuo not only gave you the red rabbit horse, but also gave you a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, but you know that you can change your mistakes, and it is not extremely bad. Diao Chan said softly: "Wen Hou did the right thing, Ding Yuan is unjust, the Taishi is benevolent and loves the people, you killed Ding Yuan and voted for the Taishi, but you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and you are worthy of your heart, why should you care about what others think of you?" ”
Speaking of this, Mink Chan said softly: "Wen Hou, are you capricious, explanations are useless, you can only use your actions to prove, help your benevolent and caring father-in-law sweep the world as soon as possible, let the world be unified again, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that you can stop scolding you, and prove to the world that you are the invincible loyal Wen Hou in the world." ”
Although Lu Bu has made great progress, his mind is still relatively simple after all, and the depression just now was swept away by Diao Chan's words, and he stood up and shouted: "Okay, I want to help my father-in-law rule the world and prove to the world that I am the invincible loyal Wenhou in the world!" ”
Lu Bu yelled and floated out far away, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers didn't know why, but they didn't dare to come over to ask, only Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart, Zhang Xiuxin said, "I hope so, when the army set out to fight, the old generals of the Xiliang Army, including my uncle and Li Dao and Guo Yan, were all against you leading the troops alone, because they were afraid that you would be capricious, and it was Taishi and Jia Junshi who withstood the pressure to let you and me send troops alone, I hope you don't let Taishi down." ”
After breaking the argument, although the rugged mountain road is still bothering the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but no one dares to be as stupid as Yang Huai along the way, Dong Zhuojun goes, the passes along the way are either switched and surrendered, or abandoned the city and fled, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu's other important target Luoyang defenders are when Dong Zhuojun just arrived in the city, they mutinied and killed the main general who tried to meet the battle, and Kaicheng surrendered to Dong Zhuo's army, so that Dong Zhuo's army drove straight in, and the speed of the march far exceeded the main force led by Kang Peng.
On this day, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu's troops killed in front of Yangping Pass, which is another throat pass into Sichuan, built by the mountains and rivers, the treacherous terrain even passed the Jiameng Pass that Kang Peng could not conquer for a long time, there is only a wooden plank road built in the air in front of the pass can be passed, especially the terrain in front of the pass is narrower, almost all of them are within the range of the archers on the pass, not only the catapults can not be deployed, even the foot archers can not be arranged much, Yan Yan who guards the Yangping Pass will naturally not surrender, and he also has a death order from Jia Long in his hand - not allowed to fight, You have to stick to it.
Zhang Xiuxian led the army to inspect the front of the pass, and saw that the terrain in front of the pass was precipitous, so he was not in a hurry to attack Yangping Pass, but returned to the camp to negotiate with Lu Bu and said: "Wenhou, this Yangping Pass is really worthy of its name, if our army is attacked, there will be many casualties among the soldiers, not to mention, it may not be able to take it, according to the last general, this Yangping Pass can only be outwitted, not forced." ”
Zhang Xiu's opinion is very insightful, but Lu Bu, like his impostor father, was carried away by a series of victories, and Lu Bu said with a grin: "Shouda (PS: Zhang Xiu's words are not recorded in history, this word comes from the novel "The Legend of Konu") Don't panic, measure this small pass, the city of projectiles, how can I withstand my army?" Shouda will sit down for the time being, wait for Ben Hou to take down Yangping Pass, and come back to drink celebration wine with you. ”
Zhang Xiu was startled, and hurriedly stopped: "Wenhou can't underestimate the enemy, this Yangping Pass is not as dangerous as the small pass we encountered on the road, the terrain is dangerous, and even more than Tongguan, not to mention that the guard general Yan Yan is a famous general in Sichuan, brave and strategic, and his name is among the three people who repeatedly explained that the Taishi was careful before leaving, so we should be cautious." But Lu Bu listened to it, ignored Zhang Xiu's dissuasion, and led the army on his own.
Lu Bu's Haikou was boasted, but before arriving at Yangping Pass, Lu Bu was still dumbfounded! The heart said, how can there be a pass in the world that is built in the middle of the valley? In front of the pass, it is difficult to arrange a thousand infantry, let alone catapults, even with a bow on their feet!
Seeing that Yangping Pass was so steep, but Lu Bu was still unwilling to go back empty-handed, and went to the pass to scold, wanting to lead Yan Yan to fight, but Yan Yan refused to fight, but the leader scolded back at the pass, but the grumpy Lu Bu was angered by Yan Yan several times, and killed directly in front of the pass, but they were all shot back by the bow and arrows like raindrops on the pass. From noon to night, Yan Yan couldn't say it, he wouldn't come out, and Lu Bu had to return empty-handed.
"Wen Hou doesn't need to be in a hurry." Zhang Xiu comforted Lu Bu, who returned to the camp with a belly of fire, and said: "Although the terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous, the defenders are inferior to our army in terms of equipment and training. ”
"I've been scolding for a long time, but Yan Yan Lao'er just can't come out." Lu Bu said angrily: "The old thing is very thick-skinned, how can you lead him to battle?" ”
Zhang Xiu smiled and said proudly: "Wen Hou, have you forgotten who the first scolding general of the Xiliang Army is?" Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "I have already thought of the words to scold him, 'Salted old man, salted old man!'" 'What do you think, Wenhou?' ”
"Good! Just scolded like this, no matter how thick-skinned the salted old man was, he couldn't help it. Lu Bu clapped his hands and laughed.
The next day, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu went to the front of the pass to fight, Yan Yan was naturally a tiger out of the hole, Zhang Xiu immediately played his true character of scolding, and led a group of loud Dong Zhuojun soldiers to scold Yan Yan, "Salted old man, salted old man!" "Salted old man, come out and let grandpa pickle you!" "Salted old man, if you don't come out, you will be castrated!"
From the morning to the west, Yangping Pass still did not move, but Lu Bu couldn't sit still, and personally led the troops to forcibly attack Yangping Pass, but in the narrow open space in front of Yangping Pass, Dong Zhuojun could not give full play to the advantage of being outnumbered, and could only invest a small number of troops into battle each time.
In the melee, Yan Yan suddenly grabbed the Guan Lou, pulled the bow and aimed at Lu Bu who was standing in front of him is arrow, which hit Lu Bu's heart, Lu Bu screamed, turned over and rolled off the red rabbit horse, Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed forward and carried Lu Bu out of the chaos, but after a while, Dong Zhuo's army suddenly cried and cried, and the rear army was in chaos.
"Congratulations to General Yan." Seeing Dong Zhuojun fleeing in embarrassment by throwing off his armor and the scene of the earth-shattering cry, Yan Yan's deputy general was overjoyed and congratulated Yan Yan: "That Lu Bu is the number one military general in the world, and today he died under the arrow of General Yan, and from now on, the number one military general in the world will be General Yan!" ”
Yan Yan's old and resolute face was not waved, and he was not moved at all, but he secretly asked himself in his heart, "Did I really shoot Lu Bu to death?" I guess I saw it shoot into his heart. ”
"Send a few people to Dong Zhuojun's camp to check." Yan Yan said lightly: "Let's see what they do." ”
At dawn, the Yizhou Army's fine work cheered and ran back to Guanzhong, shouting as they ran, "Lu Bu is dead, Dong Zhuojun's whole army hangs filial piety, Lu Bu is really dead!" ”
