Chapter 5 The Generous Lu Bu
Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Wei came back to her senses, looked at the pearl in her hand, blinked her big eyes, and asked in disbelief, "General, you, did you really give me these?" ”
Zhang Lang nodded, "Of course!" Is there still a fake? ”
Xiao Wei's big eyes showed gratitude, and she quickly knelt down, "Slave and maid thank General Xie!" Zhang Lang smiled, "Get up." Xiaowei stood up, holding the pearl and didn't know where to put it, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhang Lang looked at the two boxes of jewelry in front of him, revealing a look of thought. He instructed Xiaowei, "Go and find me two small wooden boxes." If you can't find it, you can get two small cloth bags. Xiaowei answered and hurriedly ran out of the side door.
A moment later, Xiao Wei came back, holding two small wooden boxes the size of palms in her hands, and handed them to Zhang Lang, "General." Zhang Lang took the small wooden box, selected the best of the two boxes of jewelry, put them into the two wooden boxes, and closed the lid. Walk up to the top and sit down, and put two small wooden boxes in your hand. Xiao Wei blinked at Zhang Lang with big eyes, her pretty face was full of curiosity.
Zhang Lang raised his voice and said, "Someone." ”
A guard dressed in armor and carrying a long knife at his waist rushed in. His eyes involuntarily glanced at the jewels next to him, and he clenched his fists and asked, "What does the general command?" ”
"Go and call the generals."
"Yes." The guard said yes, turned and ran out.
Not long after, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and other members of the so-called Eight Warriors such as Zang Ba Hou Cheng strode into the hall. When Zang Ba and the others saw the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, their eyes lit up, but Zhang Liao Gaoshun never squinted.
"General!" Nine people prayed together.
"No need to be polite." Nine men straightened up.
Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the two jewelry boxes, glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "Just now, the prime minister sent someone to send two boxes of jewelry to commend the merits of the day. ”
The nine people clasped their fists together and said, "Congratulations to the general." Zang Bahou Cheng and the other seven people showed a look of frustration, because they knew that with Lu Bu's greedy character, it was impossible to give these rewards to them. Compared with Zang Ba and Hou Cheng and the other seven people, Zhang Liao Gaoshun did not show the slightest concern.
Zhang Lang said: "It is not my work to repel Wang Kuang during the day. You and all the armies have contributed a lot. Pointing to two boxes of jewels, "These two boxes of jewels, one for the nine of you, to comfort you for the toil of these days." ......" The nine ** were surprised, and the seven people including Zang Ba Hou Cheng showed a look of surprise, and hugged their fists together and said: "Thank you for the reward!" Zhang Liao Gaoshun also hugged his fists and thanked him.
Zhang Lang smiled slightly, "This other box of jewels will be awarded to all the soldiers who fought with me today." Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, the seven of you will take these two boxes of jewels back to the barracks first. ”
"Yes!" The seven men excitedly clenched their fists in agreement, and then happily walked out of the lobby and walked outside with two boxes of jewelry.
Zhang Lang walked to the door of the hall and watched the seven of them disappear into the gate. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun stood behind Zhang Lang on the left and right, while Xiao Wei stood in the hall, her big eyes floating towards this side from time to time.
Zhang Lang turned around, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun hurriedly lowered their heads.
Zhang Lang glanced at the two of them and walked straight to the top. Pick up the two small wooden boxes prepared in advance and give them to each of them. Xiao Wei was surprised, she originally thought that Zhang Lang was going to keep the most precious jewels for herself, but she didn't expect that she would give them away now!
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun took the wooden box, puzzled, Zhang Liao asked, "General, ...... this?" ”
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Why don't you open it and take a look?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Liao answered and opened the wooden box. Seeing several exquisite gold and jade artifacts in the wooden box, he was surprised, "General, ...... this?" ”
Zhang Lang patted Zhang Liao and Gao Shun on the shoulder, "Although I have a lot of subordinates, I know that only the two of you are truly loyal and brave!" The two boxes of jewels just now are a reward for the military exploits of the soldiers today and the hard work of these days. And these two boxes are my extra heart for the two generals! ”
The two generals were greatly moved, and immediately bowed down and said: "The general is kind!" The subordinates can only repay them with their livers and brains! "Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are not greedy for money, and the reason why they are so excited is not because of the two boxes of gold and jade that Zhang Lang gave them, but because Zhang Lang attaches great importance to the difference they express. The so-called 'death for a confidant', this is the mood of the two at the moment.
Zhang Lang helped the two of them up, patted their arms, and blamed himself: "I was too frivolous in the past!" Snubbed the loyalty of the two generals! ”
The two generals hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "The general's words are serious!" The last will be terrified! ”
Zhang Lang laughed, "Happy today!" Come, drink with me! The two generals put their arms and walked towards the back hall. Xiaowei hurriedly followed.
……
Early the next morning, more than 200,000 troops of the princes of the Eighth Route opened a battle formation under the Tiger Pass. Flags surged, spears were like forests, roars were like thunder, iron horses were galloping back and forth, and smoke and dust were billowing out.
The door of the Tiger Prison was wide open, and Lu Bu led 40,000 cavalry under his command and 20,000 Xiliang soldiers led by Zhang Ji Fan Chou poured out of the gate and set up a battle formation with their backs to the Tiger Prison Pass. The infantry was held back, and the cavalry was in the front, and the momentum was violent, and it was completely an offensive posture. On the city gate, there was a big banner of Dong Zi, and Dong Zhuo sat under the banner as always to watch the battle. There is an incense table in hand, and there are wine and dried meat on the table. Li Ru, who was a military advisor, stood on the side. Behind stood a row of Flying Bear Army warriors in heavy armor, like an iron wall!
Zhang Lang rode a red rabbit horse, carrying Fang Tian's halberd, looking at the army of princes not far away, his mood was much calmer than yesterday, he had gradually become accustomed to the role of Lu Bu.
The drums of war sounded, and a fierce general flew out of the army of the princes. Zhang Lang rode out naturally. When the two horses intersected, Zhang Lang raised his halberd and fell, and the fierce general was picked up and flew out.
The princes were furious, and Gongsun Chan and the others shouted behind them: "Who dares to fight? ”
"I'm coming!" One will fly out of the military formation. It was Mu Shun, the general who was fooled and guarded.
Mu Shun killed Zhang Lang. As soon as Zhang Lang pulled the reins of the horse, the red rabbit horse man stood up, and at the same time, Zhang Lang stabbed out with a halberd with one hand. Mu Shun was taken aback, he didn't have time to react, and was stabbed off the horse.
All the princes were shocked.
Beihai Taishou Kong Rong General Wu Anguo urged the horse to fight. After less than five rounds of fighting, he fled timidly, and Zhang Lang chased after him. Six generals came out together to try to save Wu Anguo. When Wu Anguo saw that someone was coming to help in the war, his courage grew stronger, and he turned his horse's head and roared with a double hammer to kill him.
Zhang Lang and the Seven Men fought a big battle between the two armies. The scene was full of smoke and dust, and the war horses were shuttling back and forth. The drums of war on both sides beat loudly. Everyone held their breath and watched the battlefield!
