Chapter 308: Striking the West
The life expectancy of the ancients was generally not high, and few lived to seventy. Life is rare for seventy years, and a person like Zhang Fei who runs for sixty can already be regarded as a long life. It's a pity that he is old, but the comfortable life he should live has nothing to do with Zhang Fei. Since getting acquainted with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei has lived a wandering life. Back then, Zhang Fei was a wealthy family in Zhuo County, with a lot of money, if he chose to be a stable rich man, he could live a carefree life. But in order to support Liu Bei, Zhang Fei scattered all his family resources, followed Liu Bei, and entrusted the 200 catties of meat to Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei has paid a lot, but he has not received the due reward, and now he has to do his best for Liu Bei's great cause, and at the age of nearly sixty and the younger generation of the Han army, he will do life and death on the battlefield. Zhang Fei is fierce, but that was 20 years ago, people will be old, there are talents from all generations, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and people of Zhang Fei's generation have either become dry bones in the grave, or they are in high positions and do not have to bow down to everything.
Zhang Fei did not regret the choice he made back then, although he lost a lot, he also gained a lot. Gains and losses are not based on the evaluation of outsiders, but mainly on how you look at it. If you feel worthwhile, that's worth, even if others feel sorry, that's someone else's opinion, not your own. Just like getting married, it is one thing in the eyes of others, but whether it is made in heaven or not depends on the feelings of the parties.
As long as you think it's worth it, why care what others say! As long as it doesn't interfere with others, the gossip of those idlers doesn't have to be taken seriously.
"Father, let's let the child go, you old man ......" Zhang Bao had to shut up before he finished speaking, because his son Zhang Fei was already blowing his beard and glaring at him, nothing else, just because Zhang Bao mentioned the old word.
"Stinky boy, is it old to be a father?" Zhang Fei glared at Zhang Bao and asked.
"Not old, not old, my father is energetic, more energetic than a child." Zhang Bao hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Humph! Say good things to fool Lao Tzu. Zhang Fei snorted, "Xingguo, tonight's action is only allowed to succeed and not to fail, let you go alone, I don't worry about my father." But at Zhao Zilong's level, you may not be able to deal with it. ”
"Father, although Zhao Zilong is famous, the child is not a vegetarian, if he really meets the child, the child really wants to compete with him."
"Bastard! Serious matters matter, if you dare to forget to do business, when you come back, Lao Tzu will have to skin you. ”
"Yes, yes, my father taught me." Zhang Bao hurried to be.
Going out of the city tonight to attack the Han army at night was Jian Yong's proposal, and for Jian Yong, an old friend who had known him for many years, Zhang Fei would not doubt Jian Yong's loyalty to Liu Bei. Jian Yonghui proposed to Zhang Fei to go out of the city to attack the Han army at night, and Zhang Fei also understood that this was a helpless move, otherwise once the siege equipment of the Han army was pushed under the city, Guiyang would be even more difficult to defend.
There is no city in this world that can hold on to the end! Zhang Fei knew very well that blindly defending would not help Liu Bei get out of his current predicament. The key is still Liu Xie, the son of Han Tianzi, so to speak, as long as Liu Xie hangs up at this time, then Liu Bei can get through this difficulty. But it is not easy to ask Liu Xie to have an accident, if Liu Xie stays in Xiangyang, then Zhang Fei can only stare in a hurry, but now Liu Xie is in the Han army camp outside Guiyang City. The Han army's protection of Liu Xie is naturally foolproof, and for Zhang Fei, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Risk is often proportional to reward! The higher the risk, the higher the reward. In the case that Liu Bei is at a disadvantage in any way, if he wants to turn the situation around, he must make a big gamble. Just as Cao Cao went to attack Wuchao in the first battle of Guandu in the romance, once he failed, then Cao Cao could only accept the fate of being defeated by Yuan Shao, Zhang Fei was also ready to gamble with his life tonight to kill a bloody way for Liu Bei.
Jian Yong's proposal was to let Zhang Fei lead a surprise attack on the Han army's logistics camp and destroy the Han army's siege equipment. But Zhang Fei did not plan to attack the Han army logistics camp in person, he dressed his son Zhang Bao as his own, pretending to lead the team to attack the Han army logistics camp, and he himself led the selected dead soldiers to prepare to attack the Han army's handsome tent while the Han army was busy rescuing the Han army's logistics camp. If you can kill Liu Xie, the son of heaven, in one fell swoop, it will be worth it to let Zhang Fei exchange his life for his life.
Zhang Bao knew Zhang Fei's plan, so he wanted to exchange with his father and let him attack the Han army commander's tent. Compared with attacking the Han army's logistics battalion, the Han army's marshal's tent must be more tightly defended, and the risk of attacking the Han army's marshal's tent is higher. If the survival rate of the attack on the Han army's logistics battalion is 50%, then the survival rate of the surprise attack on the Han army's marshal's tent is less than 10%.
Zhang Fei naturally didn't want his son to take risks for himself, if the attack on the Han army's logistics camp was not smooth, he would have a chance to get out, but if he was trapped by the Han army during the surprise attack on the Han army's commander's tent, it would really be a matter of life and death.
At midnight, Zhang Bao led his men and horses out of the east gate quietly, sneaked around the Han army's logistics camp in the northeast corner of the camp, and suddenly launched an attack. The Han army was caught off guard and asked Zhang Bao to rush into the camp with people to kill for a while, but the Han army's reaction was also extremely fast, and Zhang Bao was not arrogant for long before he was intercepted by the Han army who rushed to hear the news and fought for a while.
Most of the siege equipment of the Han army has been ignited by Zhang Bao and others, Zhang Bao's task has been half completed, if Zhang Bao chooses to retreat at this time, no one will blame Zhang Bao after the war. But considering Zhang Fei's actions tonight, Zhang Bao didn't leave, in order to share the next pressure for Lao Tzu, Zhang Bao fought to the death, and took his own family and horses to fight endlessly with the Han army that kept coming, and the whole person was almost killed into a blood gourd, and the spear in his hand had broken two, and the second one used in his hand was the second one snatched from the hands of the Han soldiers.
Zhang Bao knew that his task was to attract the attention of the Han army, so he was not as good as the generals in the Han army, but just led people to blindly rush to kill, specifically looking for trouble with the Han soldiers. With Zhang Bao's martial arts, dealing with soldiers is bullying people, but as the old saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will bump into a ghost sooner or later.
"Off...... Tan Zhi ...... "Looking at the Han general who blocked his way, Zhang Bao had already guessed the identity of the other party without using the other party's name and surname.
“…… Rejuvenate the country, dismount and be bound. Guan Ping looked at his former acquaintance and said softly.
"Huh...... Guan Ping, is Zhang Xingguo in your eyes the kind of person who will be captured? Zhang Bao asked with a sneer when she heard this.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both thousands of enemies under Liu Bei, the two cherish each other heroically, have a very good relationship, and their children are also influenced by their fathers, and they have a harmonious relationship with each other. Especially Zhang Bao and Guan Ping's younger brother Guan Xing, the relationship was so good that they were called brothers. It's just that after Guan Yu repaid Liu Bei's kindness with death, the family members who stayed in Changsha asked Liu Xie's people to secretly "pick up" Chang'an. Guan Ping surrendered to the imperial court, and the Guan family settled in Chang'an. In the romance, Guan Ping is Guan Yu's righteous son, but in the official history, Guan Ping is Guan Yu's biological son, but Guan Yu's third son, Guan Suo, seems to be a historical fictional character.
Among the heirs of the Guan and Zhang families, Guan Ping is the oldest, Zhang Bao is commensurate with Guan Xing's brothers, and Guan Ping was also a big brother in the mouth. It's just that time has passed, and the "big brother" of the year has now become an opponent on the battlefield. For Guan Ping's awesomeness, Zhang Bao knows it. Although Guan Ping missed Guan Yu's personal teaching because of Guan Yu's murder and escape, but after reuniting with Guan Yu, Guan Ping's martial arts still have made great progress, especially after returning to Liu Xie, Liu Xie will be out of Tong Yuan to point out its shortcomings, the stone of other mountains can attack jade, although Guan Ping's current martial arts dare not say that it can be compared with Guan Yu in the past, but it is still not a big problem to stabilize Zhang Bao's head.
"Tanzhi...... Elder brother...... I don't know how Dingguo is doing lately? Zhang Bao asked out loud.
“…… Dingguo is now studying in Taixue, if Xingguo meets, why don't you go back to Chang'an with me? ”
“…… There is only Zhang Xingguo who died in battle in this world, but there is no Zhang Xingguo who surrendered. Brother Tan, I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know that Brother Tan's martial arts have the demeanor of Uncle Guan back then. ”
“…… It's not a big problem to clean up you bastard. Guan Ping knew Zhang Bao's temperament and knew that it was impossible for him to bow his head just by talking about it. The only way to take him down is to take him first, and then look at the means of the Son of Heaven. Guan Ping is self-aware, knowing that his eloquence is not good, and if he wants to persuade him to surrender, Guan Ping can only say that the dead are alive, and the living ones are alive today.
"Today, it's time to learn Brother Tan's tricks!" Zhang Bao shouted, urged the horse and rushed over to Guan Ping. Guan Ping was not polite when he saw this, and with a swing of the Qinglong knife in his hand, he urged the horse to meet him.
The two generals were fighting fiercely, and suddenly heard a war drum sounding, Guan Ping was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, pulled out his horse and retreated from the battle circle. He didn't want to take advantage of the danger of others, after all, Zhang Bao, who was fighting with him just now, was making a fool at this time.
Zhang Bao was really dumbfounded! He was face to face with Guan Ping, so when the war drums sounded behind Guan Ping, he could naturally see the situation behind Guan Ping. Under the reflection of the torches, the big beetle flag representing the Son of Heaven is so eye-catching, Zhang Bao wants to suspect that he is wrong.
This Son of Heaven ...... It's not good to stay in your own tent, what to do in the logistics battalion! The hatred in Zhang Bao's heart! His son Zhang Fei had already gone to attack the Han army's commander's tent, and the reason why he stayed in the logistics camp was also to distract the Han army. But the Son of Heaven just ran to the logistics camp, so didn't his son Zhang Fei pounce on the air? Even if he worked hard to get into the Han army's tent, the main master is here!
"Guan Tan's desire to show favoritism!" As Cao Zhang, who came from behind him, asked with a shout, Guan Ping sighed helplessly, "Cao Ziwen, if you want to attack, just say it, don't say these!" ”
"Hey...... The saint was worried that something would happen to you, so he specially ordered me to come to help capture Zhang Bao. ”
Hearing Cao Zhang's statement that the saint intended to capture Zhang Bao alive, Guan Ping's hanging heart was only half of it, but before he could speak, Cao Zhang had already raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and stabbed Zhang Bao directly.
"Be careful!" Guan Ping blurted out. As soon as the words came out, Guan Ping regretted it, he was in a hostile relationship with Zhang Bao at this time, reminding Zhang Bao that there was no difference between him and collaborating with the enemy. Fortunately, Cao Chang didn't care, entangled Zhang Bao was a vicious fight, Zhang Bao was anxious, and wanted to inform his father Zhang Fei who was still leading people to attack the Han army's tent as soon as possible about the news that the Son of Heaven was in the logistics camp. Seeing Zhang Bao fall off the horse, the colonel who was already waiting on the side pounced on Zhang Bao and tied Zhang Bao's rope and brought it to Liu Xie, the son of heaven, who was watching the battle.
"Zhang Bao?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.
Zhang Bao: "......"
"Isn't it? Don't play dead dog, squeak. ”
"It's your grandfather......"
"Smack!" Before Zhang Bao finished speaking, he was slapped back by Liu Xie, and Liu Xie wiped his hands and said angrily: "Who are you grandfather?" Do you still want to be a generation older than you? ”
Zhang Bao glared at Liu Xie angrily, but Liu Xie didn't take it seriously, and said slowly: "Zhang Bao, do you think that the voice of your Zhang family's father and son can hide from these resourceful people under me?" It's too underestimated, isn't it? Rest assured, it won't be long before your father and son will be reunited. ”
"You...... You already knew? ”
"Hmph, the general trend of the world is now clear, do you father and son think that those people under Liu Bei are really dead set on Liu Bei? When the catastrophe came, they flew separately, and if they wanted to know the situation in Guiyang City, some people were willing to report to the imperial court. After Liu Xie said this, he waved his hand and motioned for someone to take Zhang Bao down to listen to the fate.
"Who told the news?" Zhang Bao struggled and refused to leave, wanting Liu Xie to tell him the answer. If he didn't know, Zhang Bao felt that he would die blindly.
"Hehe......" Liu Xie smiled when he saw this, leaned into Zhang Bao's ear and whispered, "I want to know who it is?" I won't tell you. ”
"You!" Zhang Bao was so angry that he jumped like thunder, but he was held down by Liu Xie's personal guard behind him, and he couldn't move.
"Take it down, bring it down, don't be too polite to be too polite, just don't kill it." Liu Xie waved his hand and ordered.
Seeing Zhang Bao being dragged down and thrown into the prisoner car, Guan Ping couldn't bear it, and Cao Zhang, who was on the side, saw it and persuaded softly: "Tanzhi, don't worry, it's okay to let Zhang Bao suffer a little, who told him that he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't have any eyesight, he is a prisoner and arrogant." It's better to suffer a little now than to have someone cut off their heads. ”
"Ziwen, how can you be sure that I won't kill Zhang Bao? Maybe I'm going to send him to death after the reunion of his Zhang family father and son, so that their father and son can have a companion on Huangquan Road? ”
"Ah......" Cao Zhang was stunned by Liu Xie's question, Guan Ping hurriedly pushed Cao Zhang aside, and knelt down in front of Liu Xie to plead and pleaded: "Shengshang Mingjian, Guan Ping ......"
"Frankly, you don't have to say it, I know what you want to say. You have been born and died for the court all these years, and this affection still has to be given. Liu Xie didn't let Guan Ping finish his words, and stretched out his hand to help Guan Ping and said.
"Holy Lord, you're a little biased." Cao Zhang leaned over and said.
"Hmph, Tanzhi is an honest man, of course I want to favor him."
“…… Does the Holy One think that the last general is not honest? Cao Zhang asked aggrievedly when he heard this.
"Honest? Would an honest man do such a thing as marrying a son? Liu Xie ruthlessly exposed Cao Zhang's shortcomings.
