On the crooked and barren official road, an army of more than 1,000 people slowly advanced, but it was slightly inferior to the Han army, and much neater than the ordinary rebel army, comparable to the ordinary county soldiers. The leader of the team was black armor and resolute, with his eyes closed on his horse and let the horses slowly advance with the army, with only a few dozen cavalry behind him, and the others were foot soldiers. Suddenly, this person turned around and shouted at a person as if he was not embarrassed: "Zhang Yi, when will you arrive in Luyang?" The man named Zhang Yi hurriedly replied: "Back to the young master, it's almost there, at most it will be a day's journey away." After hearing this, the man said angrily, "How many times have you said it?" Don't call the young master, don't call the young master, call the general, this general is going to fight Luoyang with Bozhi that kid, call the general. After speaking, he glared at the crowd full of anger.

It turned out that this person was Chen Lin's brother-in-law, Zhang Ba Zhang Yuanhua in Anyang, Runan. Since Chen Lin entered Hanzhong and became the Taishou of Hanzhong, the entire Chen family has moved to Hanzhong, and Zhang Ba has lost many companions all of a sudden, but fortunately, Zhang Ba and Chen Lin are no longer children. Over the years, Zhang Ba has neither been out of office in Anyang, nor has he made many troubles, but has quietly done some business for the Zhang family, and after being bullied by Zhou Cang, he has practiced martial arts ruthlessly. However, Zhang Ba seems to have stopped at this, except for the previous moves that are more exquisite and proficient, there seems to be little improvement. But Zhang Ba's whole person is no longer the reckless brute bull he was back then, not only has learned the art of war in a decent way, but also trained a family of more than 1,000 soldiers. Zhang Ba learned from Chen Lin back then, Zhang Ba has been buying equipment for his soldiers in recent years, so these thousand or so people have a good look, and even the army in Runan is not as good as Zhang Ba's soldiers. In a blink of an eye, for several years, in addition to communicating with Hanzhong every month, Zhang Ba never saw Chen Lin again, this time the world went crazy Dong Zhuo perversely, first Changsha Taishou raised troops to fight Dong, and then Chen Lin, who was far away in Hanzhong, also talked about soldiers. Zhang Ba couldn't sit still, Zhang Ba told his father Zhang Ting that he couldn't be a rich man who accompanied his children every day, and he wanted to make contributions. So Zhang Ba set off with the soldiers he had trained, and got in touch with Chen Lin at the same time, saying that they were gathering in Luyang.

Suddenly, the front of the army that marched well shouted that the enemy was attacking, Zhang Ba's eyes opened, and he cut off the memories of the year, and his eyes went straight ahead, only to see that the army had arrived at a relatively open place at some point. Zhang Ba hurriedly ordered the whole army to fight, only to see more than 1,000 troops retreating in front and advancing in the rear, forming a large square formation, with dozens of Zhang Ba's cavalry surrounding the middle. A force of nearly 1,000 people appeared in front, under the banner of Yuan and Li, Zhang Ba didn't know which way it was, and asked people to go and ask for questions in the attitude of calming things down. Zhang Ba saw that the opposite side was also in formation, and the number of people was equal, so Zhang Ba slowly walked out of the military formation with his horse, and dozens of cavalry stopped in front of the formation.

I saw that Zhang Ba asked over there, and rushed out of a horse, quite heroic, in his thirties, and behind him was a Li character flag, the man saw Zhang Ba, and shouted unabashedly: "A certain is under the command of Nanyang Taishou Yuan, Li Feng and Li Tianman are also, which way is the soldier and horse coming, why do you violate my county for no reason?" The tone turned out to be directly accusing Zhang Ba, Zhang Ba was angry, and he suppressed it again, calming down his mood, Zhang Ba knew that this was probably the subordinate of Yuan Shu, who pretended to be Nanyang Taishou, and said: "A certain is Runan Zhang Ba Zhang Yuanhua, Wen Hanzhong Taishou Chen raised an army to crusade against Dong thief, and he came to meet each other, and was about to go to Luyang to see the general for convenience." ”

This Li Feng is a new general of Yuan Shu a few months ago, after Yuan Shu escaped from Luoyang, he was sought after by many people because he scolded Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, and at the same time Yuan Shu has the aura of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shu has also recruited a lot of talented people in Nanyang. This Li Feng has good martial arts, and he is another general in Yuan Shu's army, which is quite favored by Yuan Shu. Therefore, Li Feng also knew more or less about Yuan Shu's current situation, remembering the discussion of Yuan Shu and others a few days ago, Li Feng heard that Zhang Ba was here to defect to Chen Lin, and his face turned bad instantly.

It turned out that this Yuan Shu originally saw that Sun Jian was good, and wanted to subdue Sun Jian for his own use, and it was quite smooth at first, but he didn't want to think that since Sun Jian got Lou Gui's refuge, Sun Jian no longer hated Yuan Shu, and he felt like he was on his own. In addition, there is information that when Chen Lin passed by Nanyang, he was also welcomed by the people of Nanyang along the way, which made Yuan Shu quite jealous. So Yuan Shu discussed with the strategist and decided to suppress Sun and Chen to a limited extent, so as not to be too showy, which Yuan Shu could never accept. Originally, Yuan Shu planned to invite Sun Jian to assassinate Yuzhou in order to win over Sun Jian, but now, there is no door.

So Li Feng's attitude became sharply bad, and he said sarcastically: "Zhang Yuanhua? Nobody, also come to join in the fun, what a big deal to ask Dong is a big deal, how can you and other ignorant people be involved, a certain persuasion you and others to retreat quickly, otherwise Hugh blames a certain gun for being merciless, hum. Li Feng's words angered Zhang Ba, no matter what the reason, the two armies were so contemptuous before, and Zhang Ba was already furious. But at this time, Zhang Ba was still able to restrain himself, what a surprise it would be if Chen Lin, Zhoucang and others knew. Zhang Ba's hands were already bruised, he gritted his teeth, kept silent, and tried not to let himself rush up and stab Li Feng to death with one shot.

Zhang Ba's efforts Li Feng did not appreciate it at all, seeing that Zhang Ba was silent, Li Feng thought that Zhang Ba was weak-hearted, and saw that the armor on Sergeant Zhang Ba was quite exquisite, and his greed rose again, so Li Feng said: "It's okay, this general doesn't have to worry about the ignorant people, leave the armor on his body, and you can leave home safely." ”

Well, Zhang Ba admitted that he was still so impulsive all these years, because as soon as Li Feng finished speaking, Zhang Ba's whole person went berserk. Angry and shouted: "I'm angry, Li Tianman ate a certain shot." "The typical fighting general began, and Zhang Ba's running war horse also scared Li Feng, seeing Zhang Ba's angry appearance, menacing, he was about to eat himself. Li Feng was also angry, and rushed towards Zhang Ba with a gun, but the closer Li Fengma looked at Zhang Ba, the clearer he became, and seeing the hideousness on Zhang Ba's face, Li Feng was suddenly a little scared. The bang was the collision of two iron guns, and Li Feng only felt a huge force coming down from the barrel of the gun, which shook the right hand of the gun. The hand on the left hand that was pulling the reins almost let go of the reins, and the whole person was about to fly away from the horse. Li Feng secretly shouted in his heart, what a lot of strength. But before Li Feng could turn his horse's head, there was a chorus of exclamations from the army behind him, Li Feng didn't know why, he looked back, and saw that a sharp iron tip had arrived in front of him, straight to his eyes. Li Feng thought, why did this person turn the horse's body so quickly, and then there was a crisp pop, and the tip of Zhang Ba's spear skewered Li Feng's head, like a scarecrow, hanging on the head of Zhang Ba's spear, and the war horse ran out more than ten zhang away.

died, Li Feng died, and both parties were stunned. The man named Zhang Yi in Zhang Ba's army had some insight, and when he saw that Li Feng was dead, the matter was irreparable, so he shouted: "The enemy general is dead, the general is mighty, kill." As soon as Li Feng died, these soldiers and horses had no will to fight, and seeing that Zhang Ba's army was menacing, there was no resistance at all, they were all chaotic and scattered.

Zhang Ba killed Li Feng, his anger came down, and when he looked back, he saw that the army was chasing and killing Li Feng's department, and shouted: "Don't chase, assemble and line up." After finishing the matter, Zhang Ba looked at Li Feng's corpse with a big hole in his head and scolded: "Waste, just like this, it's embarrassing." It turned out that Zhang Ba actually regretted Li Feng's death, and was satisfied that Li Feng was vulnerable, and he didn't know how Li Feng would have behaved if he knew. I'm afraid that Li Feng will say: "Wouldn't it be more wronged if so-and-so is dead, you are wronged, and so-and-so will find someone to reason." ”

Zhang Ba sat on the horse without saying a word, and Zhang Yi saw Zhang Ba's embarrassment, so he said cautiously: "General, the matter has come to this, let Lord Chen know earlier, so that it is easy to make arrangements." This Yuan Taishou is not a food, and now that he has killed his general, I don't know what will happen to Yuan Taishou, it is better to join Lord Chen as soon as possible. Zhang Ba suddenly stood up and said: "Convergence, must converge, immediately hurry up and look for Bozhi everywhere to see where Bozhi's army is, whether it is in Luyang." If Bo Zhi is not in Luyang, and our army runs stupidly, wouldn't it be slaughtered by others, find, find it quickly. "Zhang Ba is really no longer the reckless person he was back then, at least not entirely.

Chen Lin was on the march that day, and suddenly the scout rushed back and said to Chen Lin: "Lord Yu, the scout met the scout of Zhang Gongzi of Runan, saying that something big had happened. "As soon as Chen Lin heard it, Zhang Ba, something big happened? hurriedly brought it in, and as soon as he said it, Chen Lin was startled. This Zhang Ba, who was not in order, actually killed Yuan Shu's general. So Chen Lin discussed with Jia Xu: "Wenhe, Yuanhua is a certain brother-in-law, and this time he is leading the army to join him, he must not be saved, what is Wenhe's clever plan?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while: "Yuan Highway seems to be open-minded, but in fact he is suspicious and jealous, this time Zhang Gongzi killed one of his generals, not that Yuan Highway cherishes talents, but I am afraid that Yuan Highway will not be able to bear it on face, and he will definitely retaliate." The scout also said that the original reason for the matter was that Li Tianman drove Zhang Gongzi first, and Zhang Gongzi came in the righteousness of the world, and the lord could start from here, preemptively ask Yuan Dao, and then there was to join Zhang Gongzi as soon as possible, with the lord here, I was afraid that Yuan Dao would not dare to be blatantly embarrassed. After Jia Xu finished speaking, he held a rough map and looked at it, and said: "Lord, look, according to the plan, our army will go straight to Wancheng, and then cross the river east to Luyang, which can meet Sun Taishou." At this time, Zhang Gongzi is here, our army is here, it is better to ask Zhang Gongzi to go south, and our army will cross the river in Anzhong and join Zhang Gongzi in advance. ”

Chen Lin looked at it, and had no choice but to do so, so he ordered the army to turn around and go straight to the water, not to Wancheng. At the same time, he sent someone to contact Zhang Ba, and wrote a letter to preemptively ask Yuan Shu why he intercepted the thief rebel army and undermined the righteousness of the imperial court, and suddenly charged Yuan Shu with disloyalty and injustice. Jia Xu smiled, and there was a trick in his heart, and Wuying suddenly received an order inside, so he started to act, only one day, everyone in Nanyang County was discussing, Yuan Shu privately pretended to lead Nanyang Taishou, and at the same time said that Yuan Shu was Dong Zhuo's minions, leading troops to intercept the righteous army of Dong, where and where was there yesterday and a big battle with the Runan righteous army who came to ask for Dong, and so on.

After receiving these rumors, Chen Lin looked at Jia Xu with a smile: "Wenhe, what a good means." Jia Xu was shocked, this matter was not discussed with Chen Lin in advance, Jia Xu regretted it, and thought that he would never dare to do it in the future.
