When Tai Shici escorted the grain and grass to Zhang He's military camp, it was already noon. The matter of delivering the grain originally came from someone below to do it, but Tai Shici insisted on being present to supervise Liu Xin because he had not made any contributions, and Zhang He had to be left to him. Not only that, Tai Shi Ci has to personally inquire about every detail, from the weighing of grain and grass, to checking the number, to signing and drawing, his participation is indispensable at every step.

In this way, the speed of handing over grain and grass is naturally slow, and by the time everything is processed, it is already the middle of the night.

Liu Xin spoke highly of Tai Shici, saying that he was strong in martial arts, loyal and brave, and especially good at riding and shooting. However, Zhang He now has a different opinion on Tai Shi Ci, no matter how you look at it, this Tai Shi Ci is a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, not like a cool person at all, just delivering some grain and grass, and it can be delayed until midnight.

Slander is slander, it's already midnight, and you can't let Tai Shici take people back overnight. Zhang He had to open up another vacant land behind his military camp for Tai Shici and them to set up camp. Fortunately, alcohol was forbidden in the barracks, and there was not so much red tape, so everyone had a hasty dinner together and went back to the camp.

After tossing for a long time, everyone was a little tired, and Zhang He, who was the chief general of the three armies, couldn't help but get up late. And Tai Shici had already finished delivering the grain and grass, and he had nothing to do, so he slept very sweetly this night, and he didn't lazily leave the camp until the third pole of the sun and came to see Zhang He.

Although Zhang He had a lot of complaints about Tai Shici's performance, Tai Shici was not a person under his control, so he had to hold back his unhappiness and said, "General Ziyi is here to bid farewell to Zhang." It's just that Zhang is on official business, so I can't send Zhang off. ”

Tai Shici also returned the salute and said with a smile: "How dare the last general have General Lao Zhang to send him off." However, although the last general came here to escort grain and grass, after going back, the lord will definitely ask the last general about the current situation of Lujiang City and Liu Bang Gongzi, if the last general does not go to the city to take a look, what words will he use to reply to the lord? ”

It was noon when Tai Shici came here yesterday, and if he delivered the grain and grass according to the normal process, he could rush back that night, he deliberately slowed down and dragged it until midnight, just so that he could go to the city today to see and find an opportunity to shoot Liu Bang.

Although Zhang He didn't know that Tai Shici's actions were all because of a mysterious mission, Tai Shici's words also seemed to have some truth. And since he retired from the army that day, Zhang He has never been to Lujiang City except for receiving Liu Xin's order yesterday to divide his troops to guard the main roads, and he really doesn't know Liu Bang's recent situation.

Zhang He couldn't help but stand up and said, "That's fine, you and I will go to Lujiang City together." ”

At that moment, the two of them each led elite soldiers and came to Lujiang City. A few miles away from Lujiang City, I saw the banner under Lujiang City, and the black pressure was full of soldiers and horses. Zhang He couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked left and right, "What's going on there?" ”

Zhang Ren was also at a loss, and arched his hand and said: "General Hui, the scouts sent out have not been returned, and I don't know where these horses came from, could it be that Yuan Shu heard that our army was moving and came to meet it?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was also surprised: "This is not right, if Yuan Shu goes out to the army, the scouts should come back earlier to report it, there must be something strange in it." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw a hundred and ten horses galloping in front of him, but they were all scouts sent by Zhang He. The first one came to the front and turned over and fell off the horse, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand and said: "General Qiyu, the three generals' men and horses in front of them have surrounded Lujiang City!" ”

Listening to the report of the scout, Zhang He was stunned, Liu Xin issued an order to go out in three ways and attack Yuan Shu, one of which was Zhang Fei's second legion, but after the war, there has been no news of Zhang Fei and others, who knew that Zhang Fei suddenly appeared here, and took advantage of the fact that he did not dare to attack the city and surrounded Lujiang City, obviously to grab this credit from him.

Zhang He was suddenly furious, and shouted: "Since you know that the third brother is coming, why didn't you report it earlier!" ”

The scout bowed his head and said: "The subordinates saw the banner of the person who came, and went to inquire, but they were ordered by the three generals to detain them. ”

Zhang Ren persuaded from the side: "The general is angry, let's hurry up and take a look." The three generals have a short temper, don't cause any trouble. ”

Zhang He also suddenly thought of Liu Bang, couldn't help but whip his horse, and shouted softly: "Quick!" ”

It turned out that Zhang Fei attacked Liu Bei's camp at night, and then found out that Lujiang was still in Yuan Shu's hands, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "God really taught me to do this great thing!" So Zhang Fei didn't even care about Anfeng County, and immediately waved his army south and went straight to the Lujiang River. When I arrived at the city of Lujiang, I saw that the big banner of Yuan Zi was fluttering in the wind on the head of the city, and there was not a big Han soldier outside the city, Zhang Fei laughed even more, and immediately ordered the siege of the city.

As soon as this force was deployed, it ran into the scouts sent by Zhang He. Because they are all their own people, and Zhang Fei's status is quite high, these scouts need to come forward to meet according to the rules, and report what they found for Zhang Fei's reference. Only then did Zhang Fei know the reason for Zhang He's withdrawal. Zhang Feifei has always been unruly, and in his opinion, it is simply the will of heaven that he can catch up with the siege of Lujiang City, so he immediately ordered all these scouts to be detained, and waited until he surrounded Lujiang City, and then let those scouts go back to report to Zhang He.

Zhang He and the others couldn't go far, so they saw Zhang Fei greet him with a smile, and said loudly: "Fourth, you're late, stay aside, and watch me attack the city and play!" ”

These major legions under Liu Xin compete with each other on weekdays, and this time he crusaded against Yuan Shu, but he mobilized the three major legions in one go. Conquering the Lujiang River and capturing Yuan Shu alive is not only a matter of meritorious service, but also a matter of honor for the major legions, with this opportunity, Zhang Fei will naturally not let it go. Not only did he not let go of this opportunity, but he also specially transferred his Chinese army from the north gate of the Lujiang River to the south gate, so that he could show off to Zhang He, and secondly, he could block Zhang He's march route, so that he could monopolize this merit. This once again shows that Zhang Fei is rough on the outside, but he has a meticulous side on the inside.

Because there was one of the orders that Liu Xin conveyed to Zhang He, he must try to save Liu Bang's life, so seeing Zhang Fei preemptively besiege Lujiang City and put on a posture of attacking in a big way, Zhang He couldn't cry or laugh. Where did he have any thoughts at this time, Zhang Fei came to grab this credit, and hurriedly said: "Third brother, you don't know yet, Liu Bang, the Marquis of Juchao, is now being detained in the city by Yuan Shu. ”

"Juchaohou Liu Bang?" Zhang Fei had heard the news from those scouts just now, and couldn't help laughing loudly, "That's the eldest brother's son who has passed out, since he has been passed out, it's the same as the water that was spilled, and he should do nothing!" ”

Of course, Zhang Fei knew that what he said was a bit far-fetched, but he wanted to snatch the first merit in capturing Lujiang City, so he was naturally reluctant to throw a rat trap.

Zhang He just wanted to persuade him, but he heard Tai Shici say: "The two generals of Qiqi, the lord already knows about Liu Bang, and the last general also wants to go to find out, why don't you let the last general go to the city first?" ”

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "Okay, you stinky hairy boy, you also want to compete with my old Zhang for success!" If you want to see it, you can only see it from a distance of two stones! ”

This fierce Zhang Fei is really thick and fine. Lujiang City is now surrounded by his Second Legion, even if Zhang He, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici all come to Lujiang City, if they want to attack the city, they can only rely on their own Second Legion. But Zhang Fei also heard Liu Xin say that Tai Shici has a magical archery skill. Therefore, Zhang Fei kept an eye on it, and did not let Tai Shi Ci get close to the city within two arrows, lest Tai Shi Ci take the opportunity to shoot Yuan Shu and rob himself of his own credit. Why is it two arrows and not one, it is because the strong bow equipped by the Han army has a longer range.

Faced with Zhang Fei's contempt for himself in his words, Tai Shici was not dissatisfied, and arched his hand and said: "The last general will obey the general's order!" Scold! ”

Sure enough, as Zhang Fei expected, Tai Shici held a bow in one hand and raised a whip in the other hand and galloped towards Lujiang City. In fact, Tai Shici is happy at the moment. He was not a brave man, otherwise he would not have been able to entrust him with such a great event. Tai Shici had already heard from Zhang Fei's words just now that Zhang Fei didn't seem to be interested in Liu Bang, and he could now act at the opportunity, using Zhang Fei's hand to get rid of Liu Bang and keep himself out of the matter.

Zhang Fei was a little anxious when he saw this, and he pulled the reins and ran to the city, and Zhang He and others also rode their horses to catch up, so the group came to the city of Lujiang, and stood at the head of the city outside the two arrows.

The head of Lujiang City was already crowded, the bow was wound, the knife was unsheathed, and a little cold light was facing the Han army array under the city. Yuan Shu held the battlements in his hand and shouted towards the city: "Zhang He, you have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and you dare to come to this city, don't Liu Xin want his son's life!" I have the jade seal of the country in my hand, but it is the hope of heaven, and I know each other, so I quickly retreated and asked Liu Xin to come and surrender as soon as possible, so that I can ensure his glory and wealth. ”

Zhang He and the others all looked at each other, this Yuan Shu was too arrogant, they were already in the city, he could still have such confidence, it seemed that the jade seal of the country had turned him into a complete madman.

Tai Shi Ci was already furious and said: "Yuan Shu, Hugh is rampant, wait for someone to shoot you with an arrow!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted behind him: "Tai Shi Ci, you must not enter within two arrows!" ”

Tai Shi Ci took out a feather arrow and said, "Please rest assured, General Zhang, the last general will shoot him an arrow here to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

At this time, the tens of thousands of troops in the city and under the city were silent, and the words spoken by a few of them were clearly transmitted, Yuan Shu saw such a long distance, but he didn't believe that person really had this magic skill and could shoot himself. But there is no big mistake in being careful, Yuan Shu pulled Liu Bang beside him to block his chest, and said loudly: "Haha, haha, Liu Xin's son is here, I want to see, which of you dares to shoot!" ”
