"Kids, stop fighting, come back, come home! The family is waiting for you to come back and reunite, Yan'er, Lei'er, Da Lang......" Xu Laohan didn't realize the danger at all, and still shouted over there.
Zhang He glanced at Lu Bu, who slowly took out the sky-looking bow, his palms trembled slightly, and finally did not move.
On the side, dozens of old people, women and children surrounded the city, calling for children, husbands, fathers, and the sound of the wind and crying, calling to the murderous old and state army under the city.
No one could hear who was calling at the head of the city, but everyone returned to their homes, and before they knew it, the swords in their hands had been loosened.
"General, no!" Sensing Lu Bu's killing intent, one of the generals hurriedly rushed up and shouted to persuade him.
Zhang He looked down, waved his hand, and motioned for Xu Laohan to be helped down. Xu Laohan also discovered the sky-looking bow in Lu Bu's hand, and was looking at himself murderously, taking two steps back in shock, almost unsteady on his feet, and fell into the arms of the soldier who stepped forward to support him.
"Wen Yuan, you dare to stop me!" The city didn't see the noisy old man, full of anger and nowhere to vent, Lu Bu scolded, and the sky-looking bow in his hand almost smashed on Zhang Liao's head.
"Zhang Liao doesn't dare!" Zhang Liao was stunned, but he didn't dare to dodge, rushed to Lu Bu, bowed his body, and said: "General, Zhang He knows how to advance and retreat, and he is quite talented as a general, this action is just that he is deliberately provoking the general, and the general must not be fooled." And looking at the situation in this city, the soldiers in the city are by no means less than 2,000 people, and most of them are old and weak, our army can fight in one battle, why bother with this old man? ”
At the head of the city, Zhang He heard it clearly, sighed in his heart, glanced at the young Zhang Liao, gritted his teeth, and instructed the soldiers behind him: "Send Xu Lao back and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
The old and state army followed? If Lu Bu killed Xu Laohan for his own anger to vent his hatred, even if the old Bingzhou army under the city worshiped Lu Bu again, it was impossible to watch his father and elder being killed and indifferent, and the people in the city would also hate Lu Bu for being ruthless and resist desperately.
It's a pity that in the end, he stopped again!
No one expected that Lu Bu would suddenly come back with the old Bingzhou army in the middle of winter, and no one would have thought that at the juncture when Liu Bei's father-in-law led a large army to suppress Chang'an, Dong Zhuo would release his number one vicious dog. If it weren't for Zhang He, who was in charge of the northern defense line, he would have been alert, in order to prevent the Hu people from breaking into Duobu's eyeline, he would almost have succeeded.
That's the case, for a while, Zhang He failed to gather an army, in a hurry, Zhang He made people report to Jinyang to prepare early, and hurriedly led dozens of guards to Shuofang City to set up enemies. At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people in Shuofang City, and there were only more than 800 people who could fight, which was not enough for the 5,000 elites in the city.
In desperation, Zhang He's only basis is that, as Zhang Liao said, with Liu Bei's benevolent government in the past two years, he has won the support of the whole state, and can win the death force of the military and people of the state. And Lu Bu's subordinates are all from Bingzhou, their fathers and elders are here, and they have been away for a long time, and they are homesick, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. may even mess with his army's morale, and because of Lu Bu's arrogance, he will be repelled by surprise.
After listening to Zhang Liao's persuasion, Lu Bu quickly woke up from his anger, snorted coldly, looked up at Zhang He, and scolded: "Zhang He, a dog thief, with this shameless trick, what can you do to me?" Someday you will take your life! ”
The old Bingzhou army under Lu Bu were all old veterans who followed him to kill the frontier when he was still under Ding Yuan's account, all of them were brave and good at fighting, and they had never listened to Lu Bu alone, even Dong Zhuo had to be careful to use it, for fear that if he was not careful, he would hurt himself. This is also why Lu Bu has rarely had a chance to make a move since he was invested in Dong Zhuo's account. 3
This time, it was not easy to see Dong Zhuo get angry because of Liu Bei's "ignorance of good and bad", and won the opportunity to attack and merge the state from the Xianbei grassland from Dong Zhuo. In this issue, with the success of the first battle, with his huge prestige in Bingzhou, where he passed, he fell from the wind, and it was best to kill Jinyang to kill Liu Feng Xiao'er together. How could I have met such a general in this small Shuofang City, the soldiers and civilians in the city were even more determined to stop themselves, but Lu Bu, who was originally war-hungry, became very irritable, and he lost the frenzy of the past.
"Lu Bu, Ding Yuan treats you as kind as a mountain, accepts you as a righteous son, and hands over the entire Bingzhou army to you, you wolf-hearted beast, don't want to repay, but will take revenge, take Ding Yuan's head to hold Dong Zhuo's stinky feet, you have lost the face of the men! You, a slave with three surnames, a shameless and unvirtuous villain, what face do you have to come back to the state! Seeing that Lu Bu withdrew his hand, Zhang He didn't let him go, spat at him fiercely, and scolded.
Lu Bu was about to return to his own formation, and when he heard the sound, he suddenly jumped like thunder: "Zhang He dog thief, you come down to the city, you have to be arrogant, come down and fight with a certain battle!" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang He laughed, "Lu Bu, you brute with a beast's face and a beast's heart, you let the good man of Bingzhou go to the people of Liangzhou as slaves and maids, and for the sons and grandsons, my lord and father finally settled in the state, and let the father and elder of the state live and work in peace and contentment, you brute, you still want to take the food from my father's mouth, lick the ass of Dong Zhuo's old thief, fight with you, and defile Zhang's hand for nothing!" Three family slaves, if you are still an iron-clad man, in front of the elders of the state, you will apologize for your crimes! ”
"Bastard!" Lu Bu was furious, the blue tendons on his handsome face burst out, his blood-red eyes were almost bursting out, and the murderous aura in the sky filled the sky, so Zhang Liao was also stunned, and he didn't dare to say much.
"Snap", pinched off a long feather arrow, and threw it on the ground, Lu Buzhuan took out an arrow from his back, pointed at Zhang He, and scolded hatefully: "Dog thief, don't be quick to speak, come down and fight with a certain one!" ”
What Lu Bu hated in his life was that some people said that he killed his father and joined the enemy, in all fairness, Ding Yuan treated him as a good person, promoted him all the way, and accepted him as a righteous son. However, Ding Yuan was short-tempered, and when he was in a bad mood, he beat and scolded Lu Bu at every turn, and he didn't give the slightest affection, let alone listen to half a word of advice.
"Three domestic slaves, suffer death!" Zhang He shouted violently, took the first step, and a long arrow broke through the air and went straight to Lu Bu's door.
Zhang Liao looked at the head of Shuofang City, and saw the joy and anger of the soldiers in the city at a glance, as if expected, and as if a little unexpected, he was stunned for a while: there, he was unanimous with contempt and hostility towards Lu Bu!
General Bingzhou Fei has been spurned by the father of Bingzhou!
Lu Bu shouted violently, and the Changling arrow came out of his hand, and the feather arrow flew up to meet the pass. only heard a "click", Zhang He's arrow was actually broken by Lu Bu's arrow, and the arrow momentum was not slow, chasing Zhang He's door. Zhang He's heart sank, but he didn't flinch, he shouted angrily, and the spear slashed down against the incoming arrow, and when he "dang", the tiger's mouth was numb for a while.
Flying General Lu Bu, sure enough, lives up to his reputation!
defeated Zhang He with one arrow, Lu Bu didn't stay longer, snorted coldly, pulled out his horse and returned to his own formation. Zhang He didn't come to chase after him, and let Lu Bu go back calmly.
Xu Laohan came to his senses, and then he came to Zhang He tremblingly, and said ashamedly: "General Zhang, old and incompetent, we can't avoid this military disaster for the general, we ......"
"Lu Bu is brutal and unkind, Zhang is just doing his best, and he doesn't want to slaughter each other, in fact, he doesn't have much hope, but he is tired of the old gentleman and suffers from the cold!" Zhang He saluted Xu Laohan with his fists, but he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his death and not save him, and said, "The big war is coming, the old man, please go back, the war is uneven, don't come out, forgive Zhang for not sending it!" ”
Xu Laohan opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but finally lowered his head gloomily, bent his waist, and went trembling with the support of his daughter-in-law.
Turning around, the soldiers had already drawn their swords and clenched their spears, and in the sky, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell, staining the cold blades, and the bright iron armor reflected the resolute faces of the sons of the state. Zhang He's chest was full of pride, and he suddenly shouted: "Over forty years old, out of the ranks!" Under 20 years old, out of the ranks! Only son, out of the ranks! If there is no brother around the parents to serve left and right, be out of the ranks! ”
Under the city, Lu Bu had already completed the whole team, and when he heard these few military orders coming from the city, he couldn't help but turn around and look coldly at the defenders at the head of the city.
Zhang Liao hesitated slightly, looked at his own soldiers who were already listless for the call of the city, and sighed slightly, the other party already had the heart of death, but on his side, he couldn't raise his fighting spirit because of his father's native feelings.
At the head of the city, the soldiers had already understood Zhang He's intentions, and many people hesitated for a long time, but they still didn't dare to disobey the order, and walked out with a blushing face.
The cold drifting snow hit Zhang He's face one after another, Zhang He's eyes were heavy, and he didn't wipe it, nodded, and clasped his fists to the soldiers, and said, "Put down your weapons, take off your armor, you guys, go home!" ”
Rows of people stood up in unison, and those who were still standing in place behind them were less than one-third of the original. Originally, he was holding back his strength to teach these bastards who had lost all the face of the men in the state, but the general's words forced them to lay down their weapons, and all the soldiers looked at each other, and no one took the first step for a while.
Finally, a soldier hesitated, but still clenched the sword in his hand: "General, we have received a great favor from the envoy, and we have not reciprocated a single or two, how can we retreat from the battle at this time?" ”
"General, my two elder brothers have followed Lu Bu away, and now I don't know if they are alive or dead, but I still have a daughter-in-law who can support my parents, and I won't leave!"
"General, we're not leaving!"
"Kill all these bastards!"
"Don't go!"
"Don't go!"
……
The only few who flinched, in the shouts of their companions, retreated and looked at Zhang He hesitantly.
