Chapter 300: Battle of Changsha

Looking at the Han army camp stretching outside the city, Zhang Fei at the head of Changsha couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he has followed Liu Bei until now, and Zhang Fei can be said to be the veteran who has followed Liu Bei for the longest time except for Jian Yong. Especially after Guan Yu's death, Zhang Fei was the most trusted person around Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei was originally a butcher in Zhuo County, and the butcher here does not only refer to killing pigs and selling meat, but also to the name of the local hero. For example, the general He Jin, before he became a relative, he was called a butcher. Butchers are generally rich and powerful people in the local area, and the Zhang family is a well-known butcher in Zhuo County. This also explains why Liu Bei was able to have the money to recruit troops when he decided to raise troops. Liu Bei's family is in the middle of the road, relying on weaving mats to make a living, how can he be rich, and Guan Yu murders and absconds, it is impossible to be rich, only Zhang Fei has a lot of family resources, which gives Liu Bei the original capital to start a business.

However, Zhang Fei's money can only be regarded as having No. 1 in Zhuo County, and if he wants to change to a larger place, it will be nothing. After scattering all the wealth, he recruited 500 soldiers, and then Liu Bei took Guan Zhang and his brothers plus 500 soldiers to join the battle of clearing the Yellow Turban.

With no money and no one, it is difficult to get ahead on your own. Just like Liu Bei's brothers, although he established a lot of meritorious deeds in the battle of clearing the Yellow Turban, when the court rewarded him, in the end, he got the county order of Wenxi County, and Dong Zhuo, who suffered a defeat in the battle of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was not only exempted from punishment because he bribed Zhang Rang with money, but also had to sit on high-ranking officials and ride horses.

Although Liu Bei and Guan Zhang are not brothers, they are better than brothers, and the personalities of Guan Zhang are also very different, or the opposite. Guan Yu was naturally arrogant, looking down on those scholars and doctors but treating them well, but his kindness was a gift in the eyes of more people, and few people liked to accept it. And Zhang Fei is just the opposite, saluting the doctor, but he is not good to his subordinates, and he is beaten and scolded if he is slightly unsatisfactory. Liu Bei persuaded Zhang Fei more than once, but unfortunately Zhang Fei just didn't listen, and he still did the same.

At this time, Liu Bei stayed in Guiyang, Zhang Fei had the final say in Changsha City, at this moment of crisis when people's hearts were fluctuating, Zhang Fei still did not change his past habits, and scolded and beat those subordinates who made mistakes in their busy work, and those who were "bullied" by Zhang Fei did not have a grudge in their hearts.

If you put it aside, you can only endure being beaten and scolded by Zhang Fei, but now that the imperial army is outside the city, you Zhang Fei still treats people like dogs, you are ten thousand enemies, but tigers have napping times, let alone people. Fortunately, Zhang Fei had his son Zhang Bao by his side at this time, and those who had a grudge against Zhang Fei did not take action, but as long as Zhang Fei left Changsha, those people would probably take action.

Zhang Fei didn't know that his popularity had reached this point, and he still had a sense of accomplishment when he saw his subordinates doing things in a reluctant manner. But Zhang Bao doesn't think so, in order to protect his father's personal safety, he can be said to be inseparable. Although Zhang Fei felt that Zhang Bao was a little nervous, his son's filial piety still made him very useful.

"Xingguo, you will sweep the battle for your father, and you will come if you go for your father." Zhang Fei saw a team of men and horses coming out of the Han army camp outside the city, and immediately commanded Zhang Bao beside him.

"Father, be careful." Zhang Bao hurriedly admonished.

Zhang Fei nodded, ordered a thousand men and horses, went out of the city to set up a formation, and rushed to the general first and shouted: "Zilong, I haven't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same." ”

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are old acquaintances, in the early years, when Zhao Yun was still working for Gongsun Zhan, it was convenient for Liu Bei's brother to get acquainted, Zhang Fei admired Zhao Yun's martial arts and character very much, and thought that he could have the opportunity to do business with Zhao Yun with his brother Liu Bei's means of winning people's hearts, but he didn't want to cut off Hu halfway to the current saint, so he kidnapped Zhao Yun away.

Now Zhang Fei is one of the few remaining thieves in the world, and Zhao Yun has become a famous general in the world, and the identities of these two can almost be said to be very different.

"Yide, gossip Huti, do you dare to fight me?" Zhao Yun knew that it would be difficult to persuade Zhang Fei to surrender, so he simply didn't bother to do that and directly invited Zhang Fei to fight.

Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this, "Zi Longye, who knows me, gossip and don't mention it, and eat my old Zhang a spear." ”

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei have a deep relationship, anyone around Liu Bei may surrender to the imperial court, but Zhang Fei is impossible, his ending, except for death in battle, there is no second possibility.

Zhang Fei was known as Zhang Fei in later generations, and his strength was indeed amazing, except that Lu Bu in his heyday could suppress Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun was slightly inferior to Zhang Fei in terms of strength alone, but Zhao Yun's characteristic was that his staying power was amazing, and he was very energy-intensive. Each general has his own unique characteristics, Guan Yu's fastness, Zhang Fei's fierceness, Huang Zhong's quasi-determination, and Zhao Yun's persistence. At present, although Zhao Yun is at a disadvantage, no one dares to make a conclusion at this time.

When the duel between the two masters in the world, the people outside the city of Changsha were fascinated and dumbfounded, and everyone's attention was attracted by the battle under the city, so that when Zhang Bao found out that something was wrong, it was too late. Zhang Fei was fighting fiercely with Zhao Yun, and suddenly he heard a noise in Changsha City behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the city was already in chaos, and his son Zhang Bao was fighting with people, and those who besieged Zhang Bao, Zhang Fei was very familiar.

"Shaft dares!" Zhang Fei roared, and he wanted to go back to the city, not wanting Zhao Yun to stretch out his spear, so he sneered and asked, "Where is Yide?" ”

“…… Zilong, weren't you like this in the past? ”

"How can you play on the battlefield, Yide, don't think about going anywhere today." Zhao Yun shook the gun in his hand as he spoke, and suddenly saw several spear flowers stabbing towards several key points on Zhang Fei's body. Zhang Fei had no choice but to fight again, but this time he had concerns in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would play abnormally, but Zhao Yun did not have Zhang Fei's burden, and without a stick of incense, Zhang Fei had already hung a lottery, although it did not hurt the vital point, but the blood was also quite bluffing.

And Zhang Fei didn't take the skin injury seriously, but the battle in Changsha City grabbed Zhang Fei's heart, and he fought to repel Zhao Yun with a single blow from the injury, Zhang Fei turned around and left. Seeing that Zhang Fei ran away without looking back, Zhao Yun immediately put the gun in his hand across the saddle and reached out to take the bow and arrow. According to Zhao Yun's archery skills, even if he couldn't kill Zhang Fei with one arrow, he could still make Zhang Fei injured a lot, but Zhao Yun aimed for a long time, and finally put down his bow and arrow, and didn't choose to sneak attack from behind.

No matter how strong the fortress is, it can't resist the attack from the inside, the hearts of the people in Changsha City have long changed, and Zhang Fei can still hold it when he is in the city. But once he left the city, Xiao Zhang's reputation could not continue to suppress those who were half-hearted, as soon as he saw Zhang Fei being entangled by Zhao Yun outside the city, those who had already made contact with the Han army outside the city and waited for the time to come and abandon the darkness and turn to the light decided to do it.

When Zhang Fei hurried to the city gate, he happened to see Xiang Lang's son Xiang Tiao jumping to urge his subordinates to close the city gate. Zhang Fei was furious when he saw this, and immediately urged the horse to collide with him. As soon as he saw Zhang Fei, Xiang Tiao was so frightened that he lost two and a half souls of the three souls, and the remaining half souls had no idea, so he stood in place and watched Zhang Fei rush over.

"Close the gates! Close the gates! Just as Zhang Fei was about to ride his horse through the crack in the city gate that was about to close, he finally came back to his senses and shouted in horror.

Xiang Tiao is Xiang Lang's own son, but the most valued person in the Xiang family is not Xiang Tiao, but Xiang Lang's nephew, that is, Xiang Tiao's cousin Xiang Favor. And Xiang Lang, Xiang Tiao's father, treats Xiang Pet better than Xiang Tiao. This makes Xiang Tiao's heart a little unbalanced, who is your own child?

Xiang Tiao can only think about this in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it. After Liu Bei provoked the imperial court, Xiang Tiao was also recommended by his father to Zhang Fei's command to be dispatched. Zhang Fei salutes the doctor, it stands to reason that Xiang Tiao is Xiang Lang's own son, and Zhang Fei should not be embarrassed by Xiang Tiao. But the bad thing is that Zhang Fei also has a problem with alcoholism, and he likes to beat people when he is drunk, and he doesn't distinguish between objects, which means that whoever meets Zhang Fei is unlucky when he is drunk and crazy, and his identity is useless at this time.

Xiang Tiao is young, I don't know Zhang Fei's problem, but he won the lottery, and met Zhang Fei, who was drunk and crazy, if it wasn't for Zhang Bao's incident to find his father, Xiang Tiao, who was thin and weak, might not be able to call Zhang Fei to death. In order to recuperate from his injuries, Xiang Tiao stayed in Changsha for several months to recuperate, and after Zhang Fei arrived in Changsha, Xiang Tiao's good days came to an end. In terms of personal ability, Xiang Tiao is indeed inferior to Xiang Pet, but no matter what his ability is, he still has dignity. Xiang Tiao is young and vigorous, which is the age of good face, but when Zhang Fei was upset about how to resist the Han army, Xiang Tiao was just a few words of argument, and he was thrown away by Zhang Fei, who was in a bad mood, and he couldn't find the north.

It was these public slaps that completely slapped Xiang Tiao to the side of the court. Since Zhuge Liang's capture in the Northern Imperial Court, Xiang Lang, who is also from Jingxiang, has vaguely become the leader of the Jingxiang faction, and as Xiang Lang's eldest son, Xiang Tiao's identity has also risen. Zhang Fei didn't care about Xiang Tiao's face, which made Xiang Tiao's hatred for Zhang Fei increase.

What hatred is most afraid of is accumulation, at the beginning, Xiang Tiao was slapped in public because Zhang Fei had been lying on the bed for more than a month, and now he was slapped in public, and this new hatred and old hatred suddenly came to the tip of his heart. The thought of revenge made Xiang Tiao lose his mind, and he didn't care about the consequences of his surrender, in short, as long as he could see Zhang Fei unlucky, Xiang Tiao would be satisfied.

"Close the gates!" Xiang Tiao jumped to urge the soldiers to hurry up and close the city gate, but before the words fell and Xiang Tiao didn't have time to react, the spear in Zhang Fei's hand arrived. Zhang Fei's spear is called Zhangba Snake Spear, and the characteristic of Zhangba Snake Spear is that it is long, and the general spear is about the same as one meter seven or eight, but the spear used by Zhang Fei is more than twice as long as the ordinary spear.

The ruler is short, the inch is long, and Zhang Fei's spear is long, which means that he has the advantage when he fights against others, and before others rush to him, the spear in his hand can already touch the opponent.

Seeing Zhang Fei's snake spear, Xiang Tiao was almost scared to death, and I don't know if it was out of fear of death, Xiang Tiao's body moved, and dodged Zhang Fei's snake spear, but the city gate could not be closed because of this, so he could only watch Zhang Fei enter the city majestically.

Xiang Tiao's heart was weak, he immediately turned around and ran, Zhang Fei was willing to let it go, and chased after him with a shout, with a posture of vowing to slaughter Xiang Tiao. But before Zhang Fei could catch up with Xiang Tiao, the city gate behind him was wide open, and the Han army outside the city entered the city.

"Not good!" Zhang Fei shouted, turned around and rushed in the direction of the city gate. He was so angry that he rushed into the city to settle accounts, but forgot to order the city gate to be closed. And the soldiers who closed the city gate before saw that Zhang Fei was only looking for Xiang Tiao and forgot about them, so how could they stay where they were and wait for Zhang Fei to turn back to them to settle accounts, and one by one they smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away. As a result, the city gate was ajar until the Han army rushed over and took over the city gate.

As soon as he saw the Han army set up a formation to meet him, Zhang Fei knew that it would be difficult for him to recapture the city gate alone, so he had to turn his horse and go to the city again. He wanted to gather a group of people first and then turn around to seize the city gate, but at this time the city was already in chaos, especially after the Han army invaded the city, the people who had been guarding the city before also lost their heart, and they hid in the people's houses, changed into ordinary people's clothes and became obedient people.

Zhang Fei finally gathered the three hundred men, but before he could take people to recapture the city gate, Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Wang Ping and others had already come to him with people.

There were too few soldiers at hand, and there was no heart to fight in this situation, and after a while, Zhang Fei became the commander of the light pole again. Fortunately, Zhang Fei is brave, except for Zhao Yun, no one in the Han army can stop him, Zhang Fei wants to leave, Wang Ping, Yan Yan and other generals can only watch him go away at this time.

If Zhang Fei chooses to go out of the city at this time, it is really possible to succeed. But he has a reason why he can't go, and his son Zhang Bao hasn't been found yet. Before Zhang Fei swept the battle for Zhang Fei at the head of the city, but there was chaos in the city, someone led the troops to rob the city, Zhang Bao took people to fight with people, Zhang Fei returned to the city after he first wanted to kill Xiang Tiao, and then gathered people to recapture the city gate, and for a while he couldn't care about Zhang Bao's life or death. And now that it is impossible to do anything, Zhang Fei wants to escape with his son.

But at this time, I remembered to look for my son, where to find it? Zhang Bao was in the city before, but now the city has long been occupied by the Han army, Zhang Fei will be in the net when he goes at this time, but if he doesn't go, Zhang Fei is unwilling. When he was in a dilemma, Zhang Bao appeared in front of Zhang Fei under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers.

"Xingguo, have you hung the lottery?" Seeing the blood stains on Zhang Bao's body, Zhang Fei asked with concern.

"Father, the child is incompetent and has lost the city, if it weren't for the desperate protection of these personal soldiers, he might have been a prisoner of the Han army at this time." Zhang Bao said to Zhang Fei with a look of shame.

"Who hurt you?"

"Father, the child's injuries are not serious, we can't stay here for a long time now, if we have anything to say, let's wait until we get to a safe place." Zhang Bao opened his mouth to remind Zhang Feidao.
