Chapter 40: The Three Peach Brothers

The night wind is howling, and the stars are brilliant.

On the official road, a force of tens of thousands of people is advancing at a rapid pace, everyone holding torches in their hands, like a fire dragon in this night. Since there were not only cavalry in the army, but also infantry and all kinds of baggage soldiers, firemen, equipment, etc., although it was already advancing at a high speed, it was still very slow.

Liu Chang led his troops to follow the brigade, and suddenly a horse rode with him, only to see that this person's head was entangled in red stains, his appearance was majestic, his square face and sword eyebrows, and his heroic strength was extraordinary, and the person who came was Sun Jian, a general under Zhu Jun.

"Brother Shiming, this thief has made a lot of contributions, congratulations!" Sun Jian smiled at Liu Chang on horseback.

Liu Chang returned the salute and said, "Brother Wentai has a good reputation!" This time, the former thief was all thanks to the proper use of General Huangfu and the courage of his subordinates. And this time it was caused by General Cao Mengde's courage and use of soldiers like a god. Little brother, I just moved my mouth and offered a little bit of a thin plan. ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Jian couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and then said, "Liu will really be humble when he joins the army, I'm afraid that after this time, your name will soon spread all over the world!" ”

At this time, Liu Chang had been appointed as a military lieutenant under Huangfu Song, which was equivalent to the post of chief of staff of the corps in later generations. It can be said that the status of the Huangfu Song coalition is not low now. Liu Chang listened to Sun Jian's words and laughed: "Haha, then thank you to Captain Sun Jiyan." After Liu Chang finished speaking, he looked at a sergeant who came with Sun Jian behind him, and saw that this person's face was resolute, and his body shape was on par with Sun Jian, and he immediately asked: "Brother Wentai, I don't know what the person behind you is called?" ”

Sun Jian glanced at the sergeant, turned his head and said with a smile: "This person is my fellow countryman, his surname is Mao, and his name is Darong." ”

When Liu Chang heard this, it turned out that this was Zu Mao, the brave general who died in place of Sun Jian in front of Bishui Pass, and couldn't help but admire. And Zu Mao saw Liu Chang asking about himself, and after listening to his father-in-law's introduction of himself, he immediately said to Liu Chang: "Humble Zu Mao, I have seen Liu join the army." ”

Liu Chang returned the salute and said, "Fortunately! Fortunately! After speaking, Liu Chang entered his consciousness into the system and checked Zu Mao's attributes.

Character profile: Zu Mao, the word Darong. A native of Fuchun County, Wu County, Eastern Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian is a fellow villager and followed Sun Jian in his early years. Because of his body shape similar to Sun Jian, he is liked by Sun Jian, and he is good at making double knives.

"System, what's going on? Why did he suddenly come out of nowhere, and the force he belonged to was Sun Jian's? Liu Chang saw that his forces had suddenly increased Sun Jianbu, which made him a little inexplicable.

"Back to the host, this is because Zu Mao only has Sun Jian in his heart, and nothing else, so there is such a thing."

Well, Liu Chang knew the reason and quit the system without doing anything else. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a blade on Sun Jian's waist that did not look like this era, and immediately asked: "Brother Wentai, I don't know what kind of blade is on your waist, why don't I think it is from this dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Jian stroked the saber on his waist, and said with a loud smile: "Haha, I really have a good pair of eyes when I see the virtuous brother." Immediately took off the matching knife, held it in his hand, and continued, "This knife is called the ancient ingot knife, according to legend, it is the saber of my ancestor Sun Wu, it is said that the king of Wu defeated the Chu army, and found this knife from the treasury after entering the Chu capital Ying, and gave it to my ancestor Sun Wu. Now it has reached me, but the knife is still sharp. ”

"Dingdong, discover the treasure ancient ingot knife."

As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, the sound of the system sounded, and then Liu Chang continued to enter the system space.

Treasure Name: Ancient Ingot Knife

Treasure Subject: Weapon

Treasure Category: Artifact

Treasure Introduction: According to legend, it was built by the famous craftsman of Chu, and was included in the palace of the king of Chu by the king of Chu, after the king of Wu broke through the capital of the king of Chu with the assistance of the general Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, and found this thing in the palace, the king of Wu gave it to the general Sun Wu who had meritorious service in battle, and then it was the saber of the soldier saint Sun Wu. Sun Wu has two sentences on both sides of the knife face.

Treasure Blessing: Strength attribute +5, Command +2, and the ability to calm the blade wielder.

Holder: Sun Jian

"Obediently, this ancient ingot knife not only increases force, but also increases command, and can calm the knife wielder, this is too mysterious, right?" After reading the introduction of the ancient ingot knife, Liu Chang couldn't help but be surprised, and complained to the system.

"Back to the host, this ancient ingot knife can be seen as two parts."

"Huh? Two parts, what do you mean? Liu Chang listened to what the system said, and it was even more strange, how could it be divided into two parts, if it wasn't just a knife?

The system continued to explain: "This knife is a pre-Qin treasure, and the knife body itself is an artifact, and it is a weapon, so it can add force to the value of five, and its knife surface can have two sections of military art, so it can increase command." Then, this sword was equipped by the soldier saint Sun Wu, so the sword bearer will think of the sages and persuade himself, so he has the ability to calm the sword bearer. ”

"I see, that's ......" Liu Chang heard this, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was really so. I don't know what Bingsheng carved on the knife, he immediately withdrew from the system, looked at Sun Jian back to his senses, and saw that he was pulling out the ancient ingot knife and handed it over with his backhand, Liu Chang was not hypocritical, he immediately took it with both hands, weighed the weight, and secretly lined his heart:, this knife is so heavy, it is estimated that it weighs forty or fifty pounds, fortunately, he took the knife with both hands just now, otherwise he would have made a joke.

"Good knives!" Liu Chang praised while turning the knife face to see what kind of art of war was engraved by the soldier saint Sun Wu.

I saw that there were 16 characters on the book: "Upper army to fight, second to fight, second to fight, second to attack the army, and then to attack the city". On the other side, it is engraved with the twenty-four characters of "its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know that yin and yang move like thunder". is only more than 40 words, but it exhausts the mystery of using soldiers. Liu Chang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is worthy of being a soldier saint! I really don't know if I'll be lucky enough to see it. Now he is especially looking forward to who will give him a privilege to explode, so that he can draw a lottery for himself, maybe he can draw Sun Wu, Xiang Yu or something, and the worst can also come to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

Liu Chang returned the ancient ingot knife to Sun Jian and continued to ride the horse forward.

The horse's hooves are obtained, and the steps are chirping. After nearly three and a half hours of rapid marching, the army led by Huangfu Song finally arrived at Yingchuan City. Yesterday's battle has been a rapid march today, and everyone from top to bottom has been exhausted, and immediately, Huangfu Song arranged for everyone to rest.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed since Liu Chang followed the Huangfu Song coalition army to Yingchuan. Suddenly, a group of sergeants came from the north outside the city. Looking at its incomplete attire and armor, it is obviously not a regular Han army. Seeing that the other side was coming towards Yingchuan City, the guards of the city closed the city gate first, and the feather arrows on the city tower were fired indiscriminately, so that the two sides remained in one stone's throw away.

The captain of the city gate went up to the city wall and shouted to the soldiers outside the city, "Who is coming?" ”

As soon as the lieutenant's voice fell, one of the incoming soldiers rode forward and said: "In Liu Bei, Xiazhuo County, I came to assist General Huangfu Song to quell the rebellion on the order of General Lu Zhonglang. I have Lu Zhonglang here to send a letter, please pass it on to General Huangfu. Immediately, after Liu Bei finished speaking, he sent someone to tie the letter to the arrow and shoot it into the city tower.

The lieutenant glanced at the letter, hurriedly picked it up, and then ran towards the Chinese army.

At this time, in the marshal's mansion of the Chinese army, Huangfu Song was gathering all the generals to study the crusade against Peng Tuo. Suddenly, the captain of the city gate flew in.

"Report to the ......" The captain entered the lobby, and then bowed his hand to the main throne Huangfu Song: "General Qiyu, there is a group of soldiers outside the city, claiming to be reinforcements sent by Lu Zhonglang. Another letter was forwarded to the general. After speaking, he handed over the letterhead in his hand to Huangfu Song.

Liu Chang, who was in the lobby, heard that Lu Zhi had sent reinforcements to support Huangfu Song, and he couldn't help but think of a few people in his heart. immediately came to the captain's side and asked softly: "This brother, is Liu Beijun from outside the city?" ”

When the captain heard this, he was surprised, and immediately said: "It is said that Liu is resourceful in joining the army, and he is completely obedient today, and he does not hide from the army lord, and the leader does call himself Liu Bei of Zhuojun." ”

"Ah......" At this time, the people who heard Liu Chang's conversation with the captain couldn't help but be confused by Liu Chang's talent, and they all guessed: This Liu Chang will not be the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, but can be a prophet and a true god!

When Liu Chang heard this, he knew that he was making a big deal, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone, a certain Liu Chang is not the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, but I have sent someone to Jizhou to inquire about the news before, and later, the scout reported that Lu Zhi ordered a person named Liu Bei to lead the army south to support me and waited for me to inform Lord Huangfu, but I fought for days and forgot about it. As soon as I heard that General Lu Zhonglang's reinforcements had arrived, I remembered this again. But in my heart, I thought: Brother Peach is here.

"Oh......" Everyone half-believed Liu Chang's explanation.

"Ahem......" Just as everyone was wondering whether Liu Chang was the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, Huangfu Song's voice came out, "Everyone, since the reinforcements sent by Lu Zhonglang have arrived outside the city, why don't I go together to greet them?" ”

"Okay, when the reinforcements arrive, they should go out of the camp." Zhu Jun was the first to agree, and soon everyone also expressed their needs.

After a short time, Liu Chang followed everyone to the city wall, raised his eyes, and saw that the army under the city was not in good armor, and it was obviously not an official army, but a righteous army. And in front of this rebel army were three cavalry generals. Liu Chang squinted slightly, looking at the three people on horseback.

First of all, the person in the middle, I saw that this person's face was like a crown of jade, his ears were hanging down his shoulders, and his arms were even more slender, Liu Chang thought to himself that this must be Uncle Liu Huang. On its right side, this person's face is like a heavy jujube, tall, dressed in a blue-green robe, and a big knife in his hand is refracted by the sun, glowing with a trace of blue light. After confirming Liu Bei and Guan Yu, he looked at the third person, only to see that this person had a thick and round waist and was holding a Zhangba snake spear, but his face was quite white and his facial features were also very strong. "Could it be that he is Zhang Fei?" Looking at this last person, Liu Chang really didn't dare to be sure. Liu Bei and Guan Yu are similar to those in later books, but they are not so exaggerated, but at least they are similar, but this Zhang Fei is a little unconfirmed.

Huangfu Song saw the soldiers under the city and immediately ordered the door to be opened and released. Soon, Liu Bei led his men into the city, and then brought the two horseback riders to pay their respects.

When Liu Bei saw Huangfu Song, he arched his hand and said: "In Xiazhuo County, Liu Bei, on the order of his family teacher Lu Zhonglang, came to support General Huangfu. ”

Huangfu Song heard this and asked, "Why did Lu Zhonglang send reinforcements to live with me?" ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard the inquiry, he arched his hand back: "General Qiyu, that's because the family teacher heard that the general was trapped in the Changshe, so he came down to help, hoping to help the general." However, when I arrived at Changshe, the defenders of Changshe had already told the general that he had won a great victory, and then moved to Yingchuan, and came to Yingchuan to meet the general in Xia. ”

"Well, good! Although our army has recovered Yingchuan, your army has come thousands of miles away, and Song deeply admires this perseverance. Huangfu Song paused, looked around and continued, "In this way, you will be safe when you come, so let's stay here for the time being!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was finally taken in, and immediately knelt down and said, "General Xie!" ”

After some greetings, Huangfu Song ordered his husband to cook and prepare to wash the dust for Liu Beijun. And Liu Chang approached Liu Bei and whispered, "You are Liu Bei?" ”

"Exactly. Under Liu Bei, the word Xuande. I don't know what you call you? ”

"In Xia Jiwu Liu Chang, the word Shiming."

"Haha, Shiming, good words!" Liu Bei listened to Liu Chang's self-introduction and couldn't help but praise it.

Liu Chang shrugged his shoulders and looked noncommittal. Later, he asked: "I don't know who the surnames of the two strong men behind Xuande are?" ”

Although Liu Chang has a system to check, he feels that instead of relying on the system like that, it is better to ask like this, so as to increase his courage and practice eloquence; Second, you can also make friends with each other and get acquainted.

Liu Bei saw Liu Chang ask the two brothers behind him, and immediately returned: "These two are the righteous Jinlan when they were in Zhuo County." The one in the green robe with the big knife is the second brother Guan Yu, and the one in the black robe with the spear is the third brother Zhang Fei. After listening to the introduction, Liu Chang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hugged their fists one by one. In his heart, tens of thousands of grass and mud horses were running wildly, and Zhang Fei's image really made him unable to believe that he was at the end of the Han Dynasty.
