Chapter 232: Shooting the Halberd (Part I)
Liu Wei was naturally willing to go with Zhang Fan in his heart, but as soon as Dong Zhuo opened his mouth, Liu Wei was immediately too frightened to speak again. The ministers www.biquge.info all the ministers glared at Dong Zhuo angrily, of course, they could only look at each other angrily.
After all, Xiucai met a soldier, and it was unreasonable to say. They still know the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Zhang Fan snorted coldly and said, "Dong Tingshi has such a big tone, could it be that he looks down on the cavalry under my command?" β
Dong Zhuopi didn't smile, and said in a threatening tone:
"Champion Hou misunderstood. I didn't have that intention, but Zhuo brought 3,000 cavalry this time, and the prince estimated that there were about 1,000 cavalry. The Holy One is still guarded by our army, so it's safer......"
Zhang Fan didn't intend to give him face at all, and sneered:
"Although there are only a thousand under my command, each of them can be used as ten, and a thousand troops can be defeated. Although there are many of you, all of you are traitors, how can you compare? β
Sticker seller?
Dong Zhuo was so angry that he almost turned his back on his anger, his angry hair rushed to the crown, his copper bell-like eyes were round, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, his facial features were fiercely squeezed together, and his already vicious face was even more terrifying. His fists were clenched, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were full of fierceness, and he was about to eat Zhang Fan......
The emperor was frightened and cried on the spot, and all the ministers were silent, and involuntarily moved two steps back.
On the contrary, Zhang Fan, who was in the center of the air pressure, did not move at all, his expression was as usual, he smiled coldly, and said defiantly:
"What? Are you trying to kill me? I'm afraid you don't have the ability! β
Dong Zhuo saw that Zhang Fan had no fear, and he was eager to try. On the contrary, he was empty in his heart. This time, he brought 5,000 horsemen to Luoyang, and another 2,000 horsemen were stationed in the west of Luoyang City, and only 3,000 horsemen came out today.
His rich experience in the past convinced Dong Zhuo that Zhang Fan was not pretending to be a bluff. But he really didn't take these three thousand cavalry seriously.
So many cavalrymen had no idea where they had suddenly appeared, and their own spies had not received any information. So he couldn't figure out how many people there were under Zhang Fan's hands......
But even if the other side did not ambush the troops, judging from the amazing morale of the opponent's cavalry and the proud achievements in the past, he was not sure that he would retreat with his whole body. Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly, who could guarantee that there were no Zhang Fan's ambushes nearby?
Where did Zhang Fan get the confidence?
Of course, it was the recent recruitment of several fierce generals that gave him enough confidence.
Except for LΓΌ Lingqi and Ling Tong who stayed in Zhongshan to protect Zhen Mi and his strategists, the rest of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, Le Jin, Li Dian, Jiang Qin and others all went out with the army.
If it really starts, these fierce men with 10,000 enemies will casually warm up, and it is estimated that the 3,000 cavalry on the opposite side will really not be enough to kill!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, at least to ensure Zhang Fan's safety, it will definitely be no problem, so Zhang Fan is not false at all.
If you want to fight, then fight.
The two sides are needle-pointed, and they don't give an inch. The atmosphere is extremely tense, and it is on the verge of breaking out-
The princes and ministers trembled, trembling like chaff, and they wanted to immediately put on their wings and flee from here, for fear of harming the pond fish. They were also worried that the two sides would accidentally injure the Son of Heaven when they fought, so they all looked at Shangshu Lu Zhi.
Although everyone present is not the highest official position, in terms of prestige alone, he should be respected.
Lu Zhi studied under the great Confucian Ma Rong and was the same senior brother of Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin. His disciples include Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan and so on. He once quelled the barbarian rebellion, and was defeated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is not an exaggeration to say that the model of the scholar and the foundation of the country is dry.
Lu Zhi Yellow Turban Uprising was the general of Beizhong Lang, and was ordered to lead the army to fight with Zhang Jiao in danger, and won consecutive battles, Zhang Jiao led the army to retreat to Guangzong County, and defended the city. Later, he was framed and imprisoned by Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng for refusing to pay bribes. After that, the imperial court worshiped Dong Zhuo as the general of Dongzhong Lang and succeeded Lu Zhi to pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, but Dong Zhuo was defeated.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo is his junior, and his qualifications are far inferior to him. Zhang Fan once studied under Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan was his fellow brother, so Zhang Fan was also his nephew.
Because of this, Lu Zhi dared to mediate. Lu Zhi cleared his throat and said stubbornly:
"The two generals are the pillars of the country, with great achievements, great power, and great history. If there is anything to do, you might as well calm down and discuss it, and don't be rash......"
Dong Zhuo was originally very inward-looking, and he has been strong until now, and when he saw that there were steps down, he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a sigh of relief:
"Since the Son of Heaven is in person, there is Lu Zhonglang to intercede for you...... As long as you get out of the way now, I will not blame you for the past and let you go. β
Zhang Fan sneered: "Who spares who is not necessarily!" However, it is not appropriate to make a big move in front of the Son of Heaven, and Lu Gong can't help but give face. β
Zhang Fan didn't plan to really do anything with Dong Zhuo, and he didn't have any benefits at all. Although he is not afraid of things, he is not here to fight Dong Zhuo today......
As soon as Zhang Fan stretched out his hand, a drawing rod Fang Tianhald with a flowing treasure suddenly appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Dong Zhuo's eyes shrank, and he immediately drew his long sword and shouted:
"Zhang Fan, what do you want?"
Lu Zhi was also taken aback by Zhang Fan's actions, and hurriedly shouted:
"Wait, don't do it, don't do it......"
Most of the civil and military officials were shocked by Zhang Fan's move, and there were many discussions. Liu Wei and Liu Xie did not blink their eyes, and their colors rippled......
Zhang Fan glanced at Dong Zhuo, who looked nervous, with disdain, and said lightly:
"Insert this halberd into a hundred and fifty steps outside the gate, and if I shoot an arrow at the tip of the halberd, you will retreat, and I will escort the Son of Heaven back to the court; If I missed, I led the troops back. β
Dong Zhuo lost his ugliness, revealing his weakness and being a little embarrassed. However, he is also a military general, and he is skilled in bows and horses.
He knew that a hundred steps through Yang was already a great marksman, and there was no one in ten thousand. As for being able to shoot the tip of the halberd in one hundred and fifty steps, it seemed to him that it was a fantasy at all.
This kind of thing is like a weight, and a hundred catties is almost the limit. Even if you add five pounds or even one pound, you may not be able to lift it.
In his opinion, one hundred steps to be able to hit the tip of the halberd is already considered the limit, not to mention adding another fifty steps, even if it only adds ten steps, it is basically impossible to shoot......
The best marksman in his army, it was already quite difficult to shoot a person from a hundred and fifty paces away, and it was a fool's dream to shoot the tip of a small halberd!
After making up his mind, Dong Zhuo pretended to be generous and said:
"Good. If you can really do it, then I think my skills are not as good as others, and I am willing to gamble and lose. β
"Remember your words." Zhang Fan handed the halberd to Lu Zhi and said politely:
"There's Gong Loulu."
Lu Zhi took the halberd as the arbiter and stopped talking. Although he didn't quite believe that Zhang Fan could do it. But it has come to this point, and it is useless to say more, so I can only take one step at a time, and secretly pray that he can create a miracle......
Lu Zhi began to stride forward from under the gate, his pace was moderate, and each step was almost the same distance. After counting one hundred and fifty steps, he stopped, and forcefully inserted the end of the halberd into the ground for more than three inches.
Zhang Fan looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Dong Tingshi, is there a problem?" β
Dong Zhuo observed the whole process just now, Lu Zhi was quite fair, basically a normal pace. Looking into the distance, not to mention the tip of the halberd, the entire halberd is almost a small black line.
Dong Zhuo is determined in his heart, so that you can shoot the tip of the halberd, then I will lose and have nothing to say......
Dong Zhuo had already judged Zhang Fan to lose in his heart, but said with a smile on his face:
"No problem. Prince, please! (To be continued.) )
