Zhang Fei stared at the wine jar for a long time, and suddenly his left hand pressed the wine jar, and his right hand slowly raised, seeing that the posture was to pat the sealing mud on the wine jar. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who were standing on the side, were suffocated at the same time, Zhang Da suddenly dodged and bumped into Fan Jiang, and Fan Jiang was unprepared by Zhang Da in front of Zhang Fei's table.

Directly in front of Zhang Fei was the jar of wine, and when he saw Fan Jiang flashing out, he tilted his head behind the jar and glanced at Fan Jiang, and said sullenly: "What are you doing?" ”

Fan Jiang glanced at Zhang Da angrily from the corner of his eye, and cautiously knelt down on one knee to Zhang Fei and said, "Third General, before you came to Jiangling, you personally promised your lord that you would not drink a drop of wine before you returned to Jiangxia. But now ......"

Seeing that Zhang Fei's face was becoming more and more ugly, Fan Jiang really didn't have the courage to say any more. The big tent was quiet for a few minutes, and Zhang Fei suddenly slapped the table hard: "Wow, ah, ah, I'm angry!" ”

This series of muffled shouts scared Fan Jiang and Zhang Da a lot, and it seemed that Zhang Fei was going to get angry. According to the usual painful experience, as soon as Zhang Fei started the fire, the two of them suffered.

However, Zhang Fei was angry, and now he didn't send it to the two of them, nor did he pat the sealing mud on the wine jar, but crossed his hands on his waist and roared angrily in the tent: "Big brother is really, why do you have to listen to that hairy boy (referring to Zhuge Liang) in everything?" Now it's clear that Kong Ming doesn't let me drink alcohol, but he wants to use my eldest brother to pressure me. You say, I can not listen to anyone, but I can't ignore my eldest brother, right? ”

"Yes, yes......" Fan Jiang and Zhang Da secretly wiped their sweat and nodded like pounding garlic.

Zhang Fei then roared in a voice that could burst the eardrums of the two of them: "What's even more infuriating is that Kong Ming also made a bet with me, if I can not drink a drop of wine before returning to Jiangxia, he will lose twenty jars of Yizhou's finest wine to me." You say, why did I Lao Zhang promise him at that time? NND, I also came to the energy as soon as I heard about the good wine in Yizhou, and I fell for Kong Ming when I was hot-headed! Kong Ming, a hairy boy, looks like a gentleman, but in fact, he has more bad water in his stomach than anyone else! ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da each lowered their heads, not daring Zhang Fei to see their strange expressions that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Zhang Fei ignored the two, and stared at the wine jar for a while before punching the table fiercely, striding out of the tent with his hands on his waist and sulking, and still muttering in his mouth: "If you don't drink, you won't drink, my old Zhang is a dignified eight-foot man, even if he falls for Kong Ming, he can't lose his credit, and besides, I promised my eldest brother's ......."

Zhang Fei came out of the big tent here, and Fan Jiang and Zhang Da over there glanced at each other, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief. They each stretched out their sleeves and wiped them, and their foreheads were full of cold sweat. The two of them just wanted to sit down and take a break to catch their breath, but they heard Zhang Fei's almost frantic roar outside the tent: "Wow, ah, I'm angry, I'm angry!" Why was Zilong able to take thousands of people to Xinye to fight with the vanguard of the Cao army, but I, Lao Zhang, wanted to do this bird errand of transporting grain and grass here! Kong Ming, you are eccentric! Where is my old Zhang not as good as Zilong, isn't he handsome without Zilong, and he is not as pleasing to the eye as Zilong in the past!? ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da in the tent glanced at each other, both laughed dumbly, and whispered: "It seems that this is not a question of whether he is handsome or not, right?" General Zilong is much more kind, and he is both civil and military and can listen to people's words, how can he go crazy at every turn like our third general? General Zilong and the military division went to Xinye to use clever tricks, if they changed our three generals, they would definitely fight with Cao's army. ”

After muttering, the two chased Zhang Fei out of the big tent, and saw Zhang Fei punching the sandbag punch after punch to get angry. After pounding for a while, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped, tilted his head as if he remembered something. After a while, Zhang Fei patted his head and said with a smile: "Big brother and Kong Ming just don't let me drink, I'm afraid that I will make a mistake after drinking, but I didn't say anything else and didn't let me drink!" Well, let me think about it...... Fan Jiang, Zhang Da! ”

"In! What did the three generals command? ”

"Go and tell the cook, go to the nearby orchard to buy dozens of catties of all kinds of fruits, and squeeze out the juice for me to drink! Isn't this always a bar? It's not drunk again, and the eldest brother and Kong Ming have nothing to say, go quickly! Oh yes, when Lu Yihao hadn't left Jingzhou, he sent me a few juice squeezing utensils, and I remember that the cook had a commonly used one, so I used that squeezing! Also, Mi Yatou came to Jingzhou this time to send some high-quality sugarcane from Yizhou to me, and squeezed the remaining catties of what I ate! ”

“…… No, no. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Here, Zhang Fei is in the port, and Xia Houdun has led nearly 10,000 cavalry to approach Jiangling City.

The situation in Jingzhou changed rapidly. The purpose of Cao Cao's sending the vanguard was to harass Jingzhou and prevent Liu Bei from having time to integrate Jingzhou, and if there was any opportunity, Cao Cao would not mind letting Zhang Liao and others directly attack.

Liu Bei originally occupied Xiangyang City, but because he didn't have time to integrate, the composition of Xiangyang's personnel was not pure, and many of Cai Mao's subordinates didn't have time to clean it up. Later, it was precisely because of these people that Cai Mao, who had quietly surrendered to Cao Cao, used these people to make trouble in Xiangyang City, so Zhuge Liang immediately realized that Xiangyang could not be defended, so he asked Liu Bei to make other arrangements in a hurry, not to be trapped in Xiangyang. At present, the most important thing is to empty the Gangneung side.

As a result, the battle moved south to the Gangneung area. After Xia Houdun arrived in Xiangyang, he also kept harassing Liu Bei's money and grain transportation. The Jiangling defenders had little combat effectiveness, and they were all busy loading trucks and transporting grain, plus filling their pockets and deserting, and they were defeated by Xia Houdun's cavalry outside the city and intercepted a batch of grain trucks.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Houdun bribed a group of captive Jiangling defenders, first sent them back to Jiangling, and then when attacking Jiangling City, these prisoners opened the city gates, and Jiangling City fell into the hands of Cao's army. The grain, grass and military supplies in Gangneung City could no longer be transported. From then on, everyone knows what Xia Houdun will do, that is, after a short rest, he will prepare to attack the port where Zhang Fei is located.

This kind of important military situation was soon known to Zhang Fei, who was in the port, and Zhang Fei, who was in charge of big fish and meat with juice, was furious when he heard the news, and the dining table was lifted by him on the spot, and he jumped up and shouted: "Cao Bing came so fast!" Come on, order troops and prepare horses! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da immediately took action, but they were called back by Zhang Fei just after they came out of the account. The two of them were puzzled, and saw Zhang Fei tilting his head and reaching out to pick up his beard like a steel needle, as if thinking about something. The two were dumbfounded again, they had also followed Zhang Fei for a few years, had they ever seen Zhang Fei think like this when they had been? Looking at that posture, Zhang Fei still plans to use it?

Zhang Fei said to himself: "I only have more than 3,000 soldiers brought from Jiangxia here, and they are all foot soldiers, but the one-eyed Xia Hou has 10,000 cavalry, not counting the defenders who surrendered in Jiangling City, and left the port to fight against Xia Houdun, my foot soldiers and Xia Houdun's cavalry to touch, I have suffered too much in terms of combat strength...... Besides, there is still a batch of grain and grass in the port being loaded, no more or less, if I lose it, I must not be blamed by the eldest brother, Kong Ming's kid will be made fun of by him. Hmmm......"

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were really speechless, Xia Houdun's cavalry may arrive at any time, Zhang Fei, who has always heard that there is a battle to fight, is happier than anything else, but he learned Zhuge Liang here, doesn't this make people laugh and cry?

Speechless, Zhang Fei suddenly smiled, called the two of them closer, and whispered a few words. After the order, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da glanced at each other, and there was the same sentence in their hearts: "This is our brave but reckless General Zhang San?" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Two days later, in the early morning.

Xia Houdun led 10,000 cavalry and rushed to Jiangling Port with a thunderous momentum. He had already inquired that Zhang Fei only had 3,000 foot soldiers in the port, and if you added the Jiangling garrison who had left behind in the first place to transport grain, there would be no more than 5,000 at most. And he himself has 10,000 cavalry, and the Jiangling garrison is also about 20,000, so it is not easy to make use of such a large military advantage, and it seems that he can't take advantage of himself to capture the port in one go. So Xia Houdun led the cavalry to the port first, leaving the escort Han Hao to check the Jiangling soldiers, and he would lead the team to come later.

The port has gradually appeared in sight, and from a distance, it seems that the people in the port are still busy carrying grain, grass and military supplies onto the ship, and they are not prepared at all. Xia Houdun sneered, secretly thinking that Zhang Fei was just a brave man, and he was really unprepared enough to defend the city.

Hurried a little closer, Xia Houdun suddenly found that Zhang Fei was standing at the crossing alone, with the signature weapon Zhang Eight Snake Spear on his shoulder, and he was actually holding a toothpick in his left hand and was flossing his teeth there indifferently! Slightly startled in his heart, he hurriedly took the horse, and the 10,000 cavalry also stopped and lined up in formation, just waiting for Xia Houdun's order to rush over.

Zhang Fei saw that Xia Houdun's cavalry had all stopped, and laughed and said: "Xia Houyuanrang, when Xu Du said goodbye, how many years have we not met?" Today, in front of the two armies, let's not rush to fight, talk about a few old words, and drink a few sips of wine before fighting! ”

Seeing Zhang Fei's leisurely demeanor, Xia Houdun was suspicious. Looking at the port behind Zhang Fei, the shipwrights were still carrying grain and grass, but they couldn't see a few soldiers who were ready to fight, and they were even more puzzled, fearing that there would be an ambush. Secretly instructed the Tanma to look around, and soon the Tanma reported that there seemed to be a surge of people in a hill to the south, and there was a faint murderous aura; To the north, there was a lot of dust dancing, as if a large group of men were coming.

Xia Houdun thought secretly: "Zhang Fei, is this trying to attack me on both sides?" But how many people is he? Could it be that Liu Bei sent another man to support? With this possibility, they are transporting grain and grass by water, and it is not difficult to send some soldiers and horses back here......"

Just thinking about it, Zhang Fei slapped his horse forward with a big grin, threw a wine gourd at Xia Houdun and said, "Then, there is a high-quality wine inside!" I've always been reluctant to drink, it's cheaper for you. ”

Where is the reluctance to drink? I really can't pull down my face, I'm embarrassed to drink...... (To be continued.) )
