This mysterious person who suddenly shot out to block the performance of the koji is naturally Zhang Xiu.

He is now fully prepared, how can he be hindered by a koji performance that is killed halfway? Therefore, when he saw that Lu Yan was about to kill Liu Bingyi, he immediately decided to make a move.

Although Lu Yan's skills are also good, he is not a threat to Zhang Xiu at all, so Zhang Xiu has no need to take advantage of Lu Yan's killing of Liu Bingyi to make a sneak attack, but on the contrary, rescuing Liu Bingyi under Lu Yan is more conducive to Zhang Xiu's prestige.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu chose to shoot head-on and blocked the fatal blow for Liu Bingyi.

Hearing Lu Yan's question, Zhang Xiu glanced at him coldly, and then said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Linqiang Lu Yan, but your martial arts are really commonplace, and you don't deserve to know my name, you only need to know one thing, that is, you are dead today." ”

Lu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed wildly: "You have such a big breath, I have never met an opponent in this life, do you think that just by relying on you, you can make me die?" Today I will show you how good I am. ”

After the koji speech finished speaking, a knife in his hand slashed straight at Zhang Xiu, the sword light was better than snow, and the speed was no less than thunder, which made people look frightened, and even Zhang Xi's face changed.

But only Liu Shu's face remained unchanged, although the other party's knife seemed to him to be irresistible, but he believed that his friend Zhang Xiu could crack the blow lightly.

Zhang Xiu's appearance did not disappoint Liu Shu, he coldly looked at the single knife that came in a hurry, but with a slight deviation, he dodged the seemingly impossible single knife, and then almost at the same time, the short gun in his hand stabbed rapidly.

The thorn was like a flash of light in the dark night, though only for a moment. But it was enough for everyone to see hope, only to see a muffled snort, and the single knife in his hand was almost out of his hand. Even so, the back of his hand was already a blur of flesh and blood. It's shocking.

This time, Koji's eyes were no longer as calm as before, but became a little frightened, because he didn't expect that the other party's shot could be so fast, and he actually came first, directly stabbing a bloody hole in the back of his hand, such an incredible skill, he expected that he would never be able to do it.

The frightened Koji Yan saw that the other party's martial arts were so strong. He was by no means a nameless person, so he couldn't help but pretend to be calm, and said with a sneer: "Who is Your Excellency?" is obviously a master, but he still hides his head and tail like this, pretending to be a small soldier, which is really despicable. ”

At this time, Wei Duan recognized the identity of this person, and couldn't help blurting out: "Are you Zhang Xiu?" ”

But seeing that Zhang Xiu did not deny it, he said with a smile: "Exactly, Wei Thorn History, I haven't seen you for many years." Always good? ”

Wei Duan couldn't help grinning bitterly, and said secretly: "My old life is about to be taken away by you, what else is good?" ”

In fact, Wei Duan originally knew Zhang Xiu. Because whether it was Han Sui, Ma Teng and Zhang Ji who were famous generals in Xiliang back then, as a high-ranking official in Xiliang, he still had a good impression of Zhang Ji's nephew, but today Zhang Xiu pretended to be a small soldier, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, until Zhang Xiu made a move to deal with Lu Yan, he saw Zhang Xiu's appearance from the front, so he recognized it.

And the moment he recognized Zhang Xiu, Wei Duan's heart sank suddenly. Of course he knew. Today's Zhang Xiu is already Liu Qi's subordinate, and today Zhang Xiu is here. It is enough to prove that these rebel generals in front of him are all organized by Zhang Xiu, relying on the prestige established by Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew in Zuli. Most of the soldiers under his command are afraid that they will help these rebel generals, at most they will not help each other, but his cronie Lu Yan is not this person's opponent at all, the other two captains have been killed, and Sima of the right army immediately threw down his weapon and surrendered the moment Zhang Xiu admitted his identity.

When Lu Yan heard the name of the military general who defeated him, he was also very frightened, he knew that although he was still the number one person in Xiliang, he was not even a little worse than Zhang Xiu and other fierce generals.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that the elder brother is Brother Zhang Xiuzhang, hehe, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful, if the elder brother comes up and reports the big name, the younger brother will never dare to fight against the elder brother, since the elder brother wants to kill Wei Duan today, this is not to work for the elder brother, as long as the elder brother commands, the younger brother immediately takes care of this person." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Yan immediately turned around, stared at Wei Duan coldly and said, "Wei Tingshi, you offended Brother Zhang Xiu today, even I can't help you, if you know each other, you should surrender obediently." ”

Seeing this, Wei Duan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, but since he had made up his mind, there was no possibility of change, and he said sharply: "I, Wei Duan, am an important minister under the command of Duke Qin, and I have received the kindness of Duke Qin, and I should repay him with death...... Ah......h

Wei Duan didn't finish his sentence, and was already stabbed in the chest by Lu Yan, and he couldn't help screaming.

But he saw Lu Yan and said coldly: "Wei Duan, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, you don't think about the people, and when you are dying, you even think about sowing discord, I really don't know that I would do things under someone like you, this is really my shame." ”

Wei Duan's eyes widened, and he pointed at Lu Yan in pain, but he didn't speak anymore, but in an instant, he fell weakly, and a pair of eyes were still staring at Lu Yan with hatred.

Lu Yan kicked Wei Duan's body hatefully and scolded: "This old thief, he is already dead and dares to be so arrogant, hehe, I am not even afraid of Wei Duan who is alive." Are you afraid of a dead Wei Duan? ”

But when facing Zhang Xiu next, Lu Yan's face was like a peach blossom in Sanchun, how bright and brilliant he was smiling, and how flattering he was.

It's a pity that his flattery seems to have been used at the wrong time, because it just so happened that Zhang Xiu didn't look at him at this moment.

At the same time, the murderous intent in Zhang Xiu's eyes was unprecedentedly strong, because he knew that Wei Duan still had some prestige here, no matter what, and now that he had killed Wei Duan, it had caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers. Therefore, he just took the opportunity to kill the Koji to make the people angry.

So, Zhang Xiu snorted. sighed softly: "Lu Yan, I didn't say that I wanted to kill Wei Tingshi. Wei Tingshi is an official position appointed by the Son of Heaven. I have always been famous in my Liangzhou, but now you disregard the order of the Son of Heaven and the expectations of the people, and you actually killed Wei Tingshi without authorization, which is really unbearable. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu took the spear handed over by Zhang Xi and said slowly: "Koji Yan, don't talk nonsense, let's take your life." Today, I will vow to kill a person like you who is unrighteous and unkind, so that the people of the world can understand what courtesy, righteousness and shame are. ”

After finishing speaking, the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand swung rapidly, and instantly pierced into Lu Yan's body. There was nothing fancy about this shot, it looked like it was just a mediocre stab, and the koji performance didn't have any power to parry.

"Why did I surrender on my own initiative, and I worked so hard, but you treated me like this?" Koji Yan's face was full of disbelief, and he asked slowly.

"Hey, hey. Have you heard my Zhang Xiu's name, haven't you heard my Zhang Xiu's likes and dislikes? Ben will hate you most in his life for your capricious and ungrateful villain, if you were a man. Resist me to the end, maybe I can spare your life, but unfortunately, your bones are too soft, and I really don't care to be with people like you. ”

Zhang Xiu pulled out the spear in his hand, then kicked the koji performance to the ground, pulled out the waist knife, and cut off the head of the koji performance. shouted loudly: "Lu Yan rebelled and killed Lord Shi Wei Duanwei of Liangzhou." We will kill the thief and avenge Lord Wei. Wei Da loved the people before his death. Benevolence and righteousness are outstanding, and I am willing to return to the Duke of Chu for the peace of the people, and we should inherit the will of Lord Wei and return the peace of my ancestors to the people. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, the rest of the people all reflected, and they all pushed Cao Liu Bingyi as Zu Li's chief, commanded Zu Li's military and political affairs, and buried Wei Kang with a ceremony, and announced that Zu Li would return to Chu Gong from now on, and hoped that Zu Li's Zhang Xiu could contact Chu Gong and accept Zu Li's surrender.

Zu Li's change happened very suddenly, and when the news reached Guzang, Liu Qi's 20,000 troops had successfully settled in, and it was too late for Liu Bei to attack even if he wanted to.

After hearing the news, Liu Bei did not wake up from the shock for a long time, Zu Li's loss was tantamount to a blow to him, and from then on, the passage from Anding to Wuwei was cut off, which also made Hexi and other places precarious.

Liu Bei's face was pale, and he patted the case and said: "Liu Qi'er, he is really cunning enough, he originally thought that his target was Hanyang, but he didn't expect him to be so greedy, not only took away Hanyang, but even Zu Li didn't let go." Damn, why didn't I think of Zhang Xiu's influence on Zu Li? If I had known that this was the case, I should have personally stationed Zu Li and let Yi Dewei guard Gu Zang. ”

But seeing Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's not appropriate, because Jia Xu in Liu Qi's army is a Guzang person, if the lord leaves Guzang, this place will inevitably be taken by him, and then the land of Hexi will really be unsafe, fortunately, although we have lost Zu Li now, we still have the area north of the Great Wall to rely on, as long as we are good at the Hu people here, there is still a relatively safe supply channel, which is much better than losing the Hexi garrison, right?" ”

"But in this way, our plan to reopen the Silk Road has been completely in vain, and you think of any merchant who would dare to travel back and forth from beyond the Great Wall? What's more, how can the Hu people be reliable when they see profit and forget their righteousness? Once the arson loots, what should we do? Pass my general order, immediately mobilize the Feng'er army in Chang'an, meet with Anding Taishou Hao Zhao, and attack Zu Li, this time no matter what, Zu Li will be recaptured. Liu Bei's expression was full of anger, and he yelled at the military office.

But seeing Zhuge Liang's dissuasion: "The army garrisoned by the young master can't move, in case Liu Qi sends troops from Wuguan, won't we even lose the fundamental land?" What's more, now that Zu Li's overall situation has been decided, we work hard, but we may not be able to win. Or it is impossible to win, alas, this time Liu Qiqi won a move, we had better respond to all changes with the same, and we must not be impulsive. (To be continued)
