Chapter 389: Night Attack on Xuzhou (II)

Chen Deng secretly exchanged a look with Cao Bao, and said, "Since it is Liu Envoy Jun and a messenger has arrived, it must be an urgent military situation, how can it be delayed?" Even if there is a military law and military regulations, it has to be flexible, and if you mistake the military situation, it is a capital crime! ”

The military marquis said in fear: "I also know that it is powerful, but I only dare to open the city after I have to show General Zhang." ”

Chen Deng waved his hand and said, "General Zhang is drunk and lying in the high hall at this time, how can he see things?" You have the right to open the city gates, let the messenger into the city, and the responsibility will be borne by the official! ”

The military marquis knew that Chen Deng was the lord of the state pastor's mansion, and was ordered by Liu Zhoumu to be responsible for all the affairs in the city, and even Zhang Fei was respectful when he saw Chen Deng on weekdays, since Chen Zhubo took responsibility, the military marquis did not dare to say anything anymore, and ordered the city to be opened immediately.

Lu Bu had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and when he heard the city gate creak open, he was overjoyed, and as soon as he urged the red rabbit horse, he rushed in like a smoke, and the five hundred wolf riders behind him also rushed in.

The military marquis saw Lu Bu's face by the light of the fire, and said in shock: "You-you are not a messenger-"

Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd, and a halberd pierced the throat of the military marquis, who was killed immediately, and there was chaos at the gate of the city. But there were only more than 200 soldiers guarding the city gate, how could they be the opponents of these wolf-like wolf riders, but in a blink of an eye, they were killed by the wolf cavalry.

Cao Bao greeted him, and said excitedly: "The virtuous son-in-law is here, and he is really anxious for the old man." He also led Chen Deng to Lu Buma and said: "Today, thanks to the help of Yuanlong, I was able to open the city gate." ”

Chen Deng bowed his hand and said, "Chen Deng has seen Wen Hou. ”

Lu Bu and Chen Deng also knew each other, and they bowed slightly at the moment and said, "Thank you Mr. Yuanlong for your help." After something is accomplished, there will be a reward. He turned back to Cao Bao and said, "Where is Zhang Fei?" ”

"The thief is drunk and sleeping soundly in the palace, and the virtuous son-in-law can be caught when he passes. Everywhere in the city, a certain person has been installed, and the virtuous son-in-law directly manages and sends someone to take over. Cao Bao smirked.

Lu Bu hated Zhang Fei to the core, so he immediately ordered someone to lead the way, and quickly killed the horse and went to the mansion.

At this time, Zhang Fei was lying on the couch with his bare belly and was asleep, snoring like thunder, and he couldn't hear the shouting and killing sounds in Xuzhou City at this time. Hurriedly shake it up left and right. reported: "General Zhang, something is wrong, Lu Bu has opened the city gate, and the killer is coming!" ”

Zhang Fei was shocked. The drunkenness is gone. Hurriedly pulled through the armor. He didn't even wear the clothes inside, so he put on a chain armor with a bare back, and asked while putting on his boots: "The four gates of Xuzhou are guarded by sergeants." How did Lu Bu get into the city? ”

Left and right sued: "Cao Bao and Chen Dengju turned against the lord, and it was the two of them who opened the city gate by fraud, and Lu Bu was able to enter the city." ”

Zhang Fei was furious, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Cao Bao dog thief, sure enough, he harbored evil intentions and lured wolves into the house, the most hateful thing is that Chen Deng, my brother treats him so well, he also rebelled, and if he doesn't kill these two thieves, it is really difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Zhang Fei hurriedly rushed out of the house, jumped up and kicked the snow black horse, took the snake spear, led dozens of cavalry soldiers, and was about to go to the west gate.

As soon as he left the house, he bumped into Lu Bu who was roaring. When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, and they didn't even say any more nonsense such as scolding, and the two of them used all their strength on the blades and started a desperate fight.

At this time, many places in the city were on fire, shouting and killing, Zhang Fei knew that Xuzhou had been lost, and he did not dare to fight, so he gave up Lu Bu and turned his horse to look at the south gate and left. Lu Bu was about to chase after him, but his brother-in-law Wei Xu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, the major events in the city are undecided, and my brother-in-law can't be rash!" ”

Lu Bu thought about it, compared with capturing and killing Zhang Fei, taking Tancheng was the top priority, so he also restrained the red rabbit horse, looked at Zhang Fei's back that disappeared into the night, and said hatefully: "Today's right is cheaper than this butcher!" ”

Zhang Fei rushed all the way to kill, compared to the dawn, it was close to the south gate, just when Sun Qian also fled here, and the loss of Gu Dao was all sighing, and Zhang Fei gritted his teeth with hatred.

Sun Qian said: "The matter has come to this, and I can only go to Xuyi to find the lord and think of a good plan." Three generals, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late. ”

Although Zhang Fei was unwilling, he had to leave Tancheng. Soon after leaving the city, he heard the sound of horses behind him, and a group of chasing soldiers rushed to the horse, led by a spear in hand, and shouted from afar: "Butcher Zhang is leaving!" Zhang Fei looked back and saw that it was Cao Bao.

It turned out that Cao Bao saw Zhang Fei fleeing, remembered that the old grudge was difficult to settle, and bullied Zhang Fei with few soldiers, so he led a team of men and horses out of the city to chase after him, wanting to kill Zhang Fei and relieve the hatred in his heart.

Zhang Fei saw Cao Bao, he was so angry that he screamed, if it weren't for you, the dog thief, how could Tancheng be lost, all his anger was sprinkled on Cao Bao, although there were many people in Cao Bao, Zhang Fei was not afraid, and rushed over single-handedly, with all his beards open, like a fierce god.

Cao Bao brought a lot of people, but many people were so frightened by Zhang Fei's appearance that they left in a hurry, and they didn't dare to meet Zhang Fei at all. When Zhang Fei was about to rush to the front, Cao Bao realized that there were few people around him, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and he turned his horse as if fleeing back. Zhang Fei's kicking snow black horse was much faster than his mount, and when he reached the edge of a small river, Zhang Fei had already caught up with his horse, and according to Cao Bao's heart, there was a spear, and Cao Bao used the spearhead of the spear to pull away the spearhead of the Zhangba snake spear in a panic. Zhang Fei grabbed the spear shaft with his backhand, pulled it down fiercely, and pulled it on Cao Bao's back, Cao Bao screamed, fell off the horse, and fell into the shallow river.

Zhang Fei scolded angrily: "Betraying the master dog thief, today is your death date!" When he lifted the Zhangba snake spear, he was about to stab down, but he heard a sharp sound of horses' hooves, and rushed out of the oblique stab, shouting: "Ring-eyed thief!" Hugh hurts! A shot stabbed at Zhang Fei.

Originally, Zhang Fei was about to kill Cao Bao with a spear, but unexpectedly, the strong wind behind him surged, Zhang Fei had to abandon Cao Bao, turn around and return to the fight, and at a glance, it was Lu Bu's general Gao Shun. Gao Shunfang entered the city, heard Cao Bao go to find Zhang Fei's bad luck, thought about how Cao Bao would be Zhang Fei's opponent, remembered that Cao Bao was Lu Bu's father-in-law, he hurriedly went out of the city to chase, coincidentally Cao Bao was just knocked off the horse by Zhang Fei, in danger, stabbed with a shot, saved Cao Bao's life.

Zhang Fei was red-eyed when he saw everyone at this time, and all of Lu Bu's subordinates seemed to have a deep enmity with him, so he raised his spear and fought with Gao Shun. Gao Shun is also a well-known general under Lu Bu, and he has no intention of being afraid of Zhang Fei, holding a steel gun and fighting with Zhang Fei.

After more than 30 rounds in a row, the two of them did not know whether they won or lost, Zhang Fei was extremely flustered when he escaped, and he put on the armor bare-chested, at this time he was sweating all over his body, and he was wet and uncomfortable on the armor, Zhang Fei stood up and said: "I am not comfortable wearing this armor, and I will fight with you for 300 rounds when I go back and change my clothes!" ”

Gao also stood up on his horse by the way, and watched Zhang Fei go towards his team.

Zhang Fei was just lying about Gao Shun, he was going to change his clothes, Zhang Fei just saw that Lu Bu's men and horses behind Gao Shun were gathering more and more, and he thought that if he continued to fight, he might not be able to calculate any cheapness, so he simply smeared oil on the soles of his feet - and slipped away. Sun Qian and the dozens of horsemen had been waiting for Zhang Fei like that, and after Zhang Fei passed, the horse didn't stop, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Go!" He had already passed in a relaxed manner, Sun Gan and the others were all on the horse, and seeing that Zhang Fei had left, he hurriedly followed behind.

Gao Shun just sneered, didn't chase after him, jumped off the horse, and helped Cao Bao up from the water. Cao Bao endured the severe pain in his back, and thanked Gao Shun repeatedly, Gao Shun helped him get on the horse, and went back to the city to see Lu Bu together.

Zhang Fei led dozens of horsemen to eat and sleep in the open, Xiaoxing walked at night, and drove Xuyi non-stop.

At this time, Liu Zezheng and Ji Ling confronted each other in Huailing, Ji Ling refused to defend the city, and the Xuzhou army had no good way to break the enemy for a while. Liu Ze was discussing with the generals in the big tent, and suddenly Zhang Fei led Sun Qian to break in. The generals couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that Zhang Fei and Sun Qian were covered in blood, disheveled, and unbearable.

Zhang Fei knelt down in front of Liu Ze, knocked his head to the ground with a bang, and cried loudly: "Big brother, little brother is sorry for you, you lost Xuzhou!" ”

All the generals gasped, as soon as Zhang Fei and Sun Qian came in, everyone faintly felt that something was not good, Zhang Fei was ordered to guard Tancheng, how could he suddenly appear in Xuyi, unless there was a heavy change in Xuzhou, sure enough, as soon as Zhang Fei opened his mouth, it was really as everyone guessed, Xuzhou was lost.

Guan Yu stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Fei up, and asked urgently, "Third brother, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Fei couldn't cry, but just muttered to himself: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have disobeyed my eldest brother, I got drunk and made a mistake, so that Cao Bao and Chen Deng's two dog thieves had a chance...... Big brother, I'm sorry for you......"

Zhang Fei, who was excited, couldn't say a few coherent words, or Sun Gan told the whole story of the matter as it was, saying how Zhang Fei had a conflict with Cao Bao at the banquet, and how he accidentally injured Chen Deng, and later Cao Bao colluded with Chen Deng, opened the city gate, and welcomed Lu Bu into Xuzhou.

When the generals heard this, they were all angry, angrily scolding Cao Bao Chen Deng for his disloyalty and Lu Bu's injustice, but Liu Ze's face sank like water and he didn't say a word.

Zhang Fei was potting for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword, and shouted: "I'm ashamed of my eldest brother, I'll apologize for myself!" As he spoke, he wiped his neck.

Liu Zeyi grabbed his wrist and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, how can a manly man kill himself for one thing, third brother, take back your sword, what is it if you lose Xuzhou, take it back with me tomorrow." ”

"Big brother, don't you complain?" Zhang Fei said with wide eyes.

Liu Ze said indifferently: "How can a mere city be as good as the brotherhood between you and me?" Since Lu Bu harbors evil intentions, he will betray sooner or later, and it is better to rebel early than late, so if he digs his own grave, he can't complain about others! (To be continued......)
