Chapter Ninety-Eight: Liu Bei Receives One Thousand Western Liang Army
When Zhang Fei saw that the enemy general was defeated and fled, he immediately galloped on horseback, chased after him, and shouted from time to time: "The enemy general is gone, and Yanren Zhang Yide is here!" β
Zhang Fei, who was in the midst of the chaos, was dressed in military uniform, brandished a spear in his hand, and successively overturned dozens of Xiliang cavalry who stopped in front of the horse. The rest of the Xiliang army saw Zhang Fei descending from heaven like a divine soldier, carrying guns and riding everywhere, and immediately stirred up a bloody storm, and one by one they were frightened by Zhang Fei's bravery.
The distance between Zhang Fei and Li Meng also became closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides was the distance between a horse. Seeing the enemy general close at hand, Zhang Fei waved his gun violently, and the soldier pointed directly at the back of Li Meng's head.
Li Meng is also a veteran of the battlefield, feeling the evil wind coming behind his head, he fell on the horse's back with lightning speed, Zhang Fei stabbed the air with a shot, and then raised his eyebrows, leaned over and grabbed Li Meng's tail, and then shouted, Li Meng's war horse was pulled by Zhang Fei and immediately turned to the ground.
Seeing Li Meng who got up in embarrassment, Zhang Fei's eyes were full of banter.
The spring rain had stopped, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and I saw that the streets of Xingyang City were covered with mutilated corpses, and there were deafening shouts of killing everywhere, and occasionally one or two dog barks were heard in the deep alleys, accompanied by a creepy "pop" sound.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened angrily, his spear pointed at Li Meng's faΓ§ade, and shouted: "The thief will not get off his horse and die!" β
Li Meng knew that it was impossible to escape, let alone surrender, and he didn't know where he came from at the moment, so he immediately slapped the horse and danced the knife, and took Zhang Fei directly, and shouted in his mouth: "Black guy, it's not you who know that you are dead!" β
Zhang Fei didn't take Li Meng in his eyes, but now when he heard Li Meng call himself a black man, he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and immediately raised his gun and rode the horse, entangled with Li Meng.
Although the spear does not have its own Zhangba snake spear to make it easy, each shot of Zhang Fei is powerful and fast, and every shot is like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, like thunder.
There were three or five rounds of battle, Li Meng gradually clumsy, and he was stabbed in the throat by Zhang Fei with a shot, and his body died.
He turned over and dismounted and grabbed Limmon's head, hung it from the saddle, and immediately rode his horse back.
When Zhang Fei rushed back to the city gate, the gates of Xingyang City had been occupied by Gongsun Zhan, and he was clearing the remnants of the Xiliang army at this time.
After climbing the city tower and taking off his Zhangba snake spear, Zhang Fei immediately drove his horse to find his eldest brother.
Just when Zhang Fei couldn't find Liu Bei left and right, suddenly the soldiers and horses of the headquarters came to report, saying that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan had quarreled in the Taishou Mansion.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he paid it back, and immediately went straight to Xingyang Taishou Mansion with the Zhangba snake spear.
Xingyang Taishou Mansion,
"Brother Bogui, I don't agree with you killing the surrendered Xiliang army, they are all people with parents, wives and children, if you kill them, won't it be impossible for their parents to send black-haired people?"
Looking at Gongsun Zhan with a resolute face, Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and became angry.
"Hmph, Xuande, if you don't kill them, when the decisive battle with Dong Thief comes, they will turn against each other, what should we do? I advise you not to be kind to women, so as not to cause murder, and to make a decision to kill Xiliang 8,000 soldiers to prevent future troubles! β
In the face of Liu Bei's bitter admonition, Gongsun Zhan snorted coldly, without giving Liu Bei any face, and still decided to kill the surrendered eight thousand Xiliang troops, because he really didn't have extra time to judge these defeated soldiers, besides, what he was worried about was not unreasonable, if these Xiliang troops defected during the battle with Dong Zhuo, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the coalition army.
"Brother Bogui, can't you really sell a foolish brother?"
Liu Bei still did not give up, and still admonished bitterly.
Gongsun Chan sighed: "Xuande, I don't want to spare their lives, but I also have hardships, as the saying goes: "If you are uncertain in the future, there will be great trouble in the future!" β
Liu Bei saw the resoluteness on Gongsun Zhan's face, and secretly complained in his heart, that is eight thousand Xiliang soldiers, Gongsun Chan said to kill it, and he didn't know how to cherish it, and he was a major general, this time the princes met the alliance, and he only brought the Yellow Turban Uprising to follow his five hundred Youzhou soldiers, he really wanted the eight thousand Xiliang army in his heart, but the annoying thing is that Gongsun Chan has never let go, for it, for it!
Liu Bei sighed, what white-haired people send black-haired people, that is all his nonsense to deceive Gongsun Zhan, what he wants is undoubtedly the eight thousand Xiliang male soldiers, and there is also a free supply of food and grass for the coalition army, if you can get it, why not do it.
Seeing the helplessness and heartache on Liu Bei's face, Gongsun Zhan also sighed, his old classmate is good at everything, but he has a little woman's kindness.
"Ah, Gongsun Zhan, An dares to harm my brother!"
Just when the two of them couldn't hold on to the prisoner of war for a long time, Zhang Fei's angry shout came from outside the Taishou Mansion, and after a while, they saw Zhang Fei breaking in with a snake spear.
"Yide, what are you doing here, why are you so rude to Brother Bogui"
Seeing Zhang Fei coming to stir up the situation, Liu Bei immediately twisted his ears and scolded.
"Hey! Brother, hey! It hurts me, brother! Brother let it go."
If there is anyone in the world who can cure Zhang Fei's violent temper, except for his father in the grave, it is the righteous brother in front of him.
Seeing that Liu Bei was getting more and more energetic, Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "I heard from my subordinates that my brother and Gongsun Taishou were quarreling, and I was afraid that my brother would lose, so I came to protect my brother!" β
When Liu Bei heard this, his face was overjoyed, and his eyes flashed with wisdom, because he turned his back to Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan did not notice Liu Bei's abnormality.
I saw Liu Bei kick on Zhang Fei's thigh, Zhang Fei couldn't dodge, and was kicked back by Liu Bei, steady his body, Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei suspiciously, when he saw Liu Bei's disappointed face, after a helpless face, Zhang Fei immediately knelt down towards Liu Bei: "Brother, what did I do to make you unhappy, you say it, I will definitely change!" β
Liu Bei shook his head and pointed at Zhang Fei with a look of hatred for iron: "I told you not to act recklessly, don't act recklessly, but you didn't listen to me, and rushed into Brother Bogui many times, and today you broke into the Taishou Mansion with a spear, but why?" β
As he spoke, Liu Bei cried, he was like a father who cried in disappointment when he saw that his child was not successful.
Seeing his brother hiding his face and crying, Zhang Fei knew that he had made a mistake, and explained angrily at the moment: "Today I heard from my subordinates that my brother and Gongsun Taishou quarreled, and I was quite anxious to see my subordinates, lest my brother lose his ......."
"Shut up!" Liu Bei immediately interrupted Zhang Fei's words: "I have known Brother Bogui since childhood, and the love we only see is just like you and me, Boguian can harm me, and Brother Bogui is generous and benevolent, known in the country, how can he be the kind of person you said!" β
"Why did you quarrel?"
Zhang Fei raised his head and asked
Liu Bei pursed his lips and sobbed: "Just arguing about the lives of the eight thousand Xiliang soldiers, the name of Bo Gui's benevolence and righteousness is allocated to the four seas, who in the world doesn't know, that doesn't know?" β
Hearing Liu Bei's praise, Gongsun Chan hurriedly waved his hand and smiled modestly, but Liu Bei's next words made Gongsun Chan look embarrassed. I only heard Liu Bei say again: "Now Bo Gui wants to kill these eight thousand soldiers, I don't want Brother Bo Gui to bear the notoriety of being a butcher, so I am trying hard to persuade the quarrel that was caused!" β
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately raised his head and said: "Gongsun Taishou, this is your mistake, you and my brother are both from Lu Shangshu's disciples, and Lu Shangshu is a great Confucian in the world, benevolence and righteousness are spread all over the world, how can his protΓ©gΓ© be an innocent villain, I know that the essence of Confucianism lies in the word "benevolence", you have studied with Lu Shangshu for so long, you won't know it, besides, my brother also said that Gongsun is too good in the name of benevolence and virtue, spread in the sea, why did he do such an act of killing prisoners! β
Zhang Fei's words made Gongsun Chan speechless, looked at Liu Bei who was still crying, and looked at Zhang Fei who knelt on the ground, Gongsun Chan had a feeling of being played, but he didn't dare to refute Zhang Fei's words, because Zhang Fei was sneering word for word, and every sentence was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.
After pondering for a while in the hall, Gongsun Zhan sighed: "Xuande, it is absolutely impossible to leave all these 8,000 Xiliang soldiers behind!" β
Gongsun Zhan paused, and continued: "But you can leave a thousand people, I see that you don't have any armor, I will allocate the 1,000 people left to you, as for the grain and grass, just deduct it from the one that Yuan Shao gave me."
"Lord ......"
Strategist Tian Kai wanted to say something, but Gongsun Zhan immediately interrupted him, turned to look at Liu Bei and asked, "Xuande, this is my last concession!" β
Liu Bei secretly thought in his heart: "A thousand is a thousand, it's better than nothing", sighed sadly at the moment, saluted Gongsun Zhan, and then led Zhang Fei to the military camp to select soldiers.
Looking at Liu Bei's figure walking farther and farther, Tian Kai took a step forward and said: "Lord, why do you want to promise Liu Bei, he is obviously making a treacherous plan to force the lord to comply!" β
Gongsun Chan looked at the empty door motionlessly: "Whether he is true or false, as a classmate, I have the obligation to help him, and I don't want to insult my husband's reputation!" β
Gongsun Zhan turned to look at Tian Kai again and said, "Xiaoxian, you go to report to Yuan Shao, just say that Xingyang has been obtained, and ask him what to do next!" β
"No!"
Tian Kai responded, and immediately got up and stepped out of the Taishou Mansion.
Gongsun Zhan slowly walked to the table, leaned over and took the wine bottle on the table in his hand, and muttered: "Xuande, I've known each other for decades, don't I know what you think in your heart, the thousand Xiliang soldiers, the right to help you."
After Gongsun Chan finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the spirits in the cup, and then waved his big sword and strode out of the Taishou Mansion
