Knock Knock Knock –

The city gate of Hanzhong was quickly breached under the hard impact of the Shu soldiers rushing to the city hammer. Of course, the reason why the Shu soldiers were able to break through the city gate so easily was inseparable from the fact that there were no defenders in the city.

Seeing the opening of the gate of Hanzhong City, a trace of joy suddenly appeared on Liu Bei's face, now Ao Lie's Yan army was blocked by Zhang Fei on the periphery, this is a God-given opportunity for himself to seize Hanzhong, he did not hesitate, and immediately roared in his throat: "Enter the city!" Hurry into town! ”

Nearly 100,000 Shu soldiers began to pour into Hanzhong City in batches under Liu Bei's shout, and some sergeants at the back of the team, under the command of generals at all levels, arranged a defensive formation at the gate of the city to prevent the Yan army from intervening sideways.

Seeing Liu Bei leading the army into Hanzhong City, Ao Lie was in a hurry, and was just about to turn around and call his subordinates to cross Zhang Fei and go to stop Liu Bei, who expected that a Zhangba snake spear would be the first to be raised and stopped in front of Ao Lie. After Zhang Fei stopped Ao Lie, he said: "Brother Mohan, to be honest, I am very embarrassed, I don't want to use knives and guns against you, but I can't disobey my eldest brother's military orders." Simply, you and I have a heads-up, if you can beat me, my old Zhang will no longer interfere in the affairs between you and my eldest brother, and it can be regarded as an explanation for both of you. ”

Ao Lie knows that now is the best time to seize Hanzhong, but he does not want to lose Zhang Fei's friend, if he does not agree, then it is equivalent to letting Zhang Fei not come to the stage, after this battle, Liu Bei will definitely embarrass Zhang Fei, if it is replaced by someone else, such as Guan Yu, Ao Lie does not mind making Liu Bei embarrassed, that may make Liu Bei and Guan Yu have some unhappiness, and lay the groundwork for poaching Guan Yu, but Zhang Fei has a straightforward personality, if Ao Lie refuses to fight with him. will make Zhang Fei feel that Ao Lie looks down on him, so, between the all-out battle situation and private feelings, this time, Ao Lie resolutely chose the latter, he didn't want Zhang Fei to be embarrassed, even if the most difficult price was that Ao Lie would lose the initiative in the fight for Hanzhong. As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and Hanzhong can be recaptured in the future, but if it loses Zhang Fei's recognition. Then you'll never get it back.

"Good! So promise you. Today, you and my brother will fight happily! You don't have to keep your hands, you can just let it go! Ao Lie only thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed to Zhang Fei's appointment.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong heard Ao Lie's answer, and their hearts were very anxious, if Hanzhong fell into the hands of Liu Bei and wanted to take it back, I am afraid that they would have to pay three times more soldiers, horses, grain and grass than today to do it, which is definitely not in the interests of Yan and the imperial court. The two of them took a few steps forward at the same time. Ao Lie said loudly: "The lord can't agree, if you don't take Hanzhong today, our army will definitely pay more sacrifices and costs in the future!" ”

Ao Lie smiled and said without looking back: "The two prime ministers don't need to persuade anymore. The king's mind is decided. "Ao Lie's resolute attitude towards Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong as official positions, and at the same time claiming to be the king, is already very obvious, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong know that it is impossible for Ao Lie to change his mind. They glanced at each other, sighed, and then retreated to the army. They are afraid of it. Since Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to resist the Yan army, they have been worried that Ao Lie will suspend the army's march because of his friendship with Zhang Fei, and the importance of brotherhood may be Ao Lie's only weakness. Obviously, Liu Bei also touched Ao Lie's life, and did not hesitate to let his brother stand up and restrain Ao Lie with brotherly affection.

As if he had seen a ghost, Zhang Fei stared at Pang Tong who was retreating with wide eyes, and shouted loudly: "Military advisor, you are not dead? Why did you follow Brother Mo Han? ”

Pang Tong stopped and looked at Zhang Fei indifferently, now he can calmly face the bleakness of being betrayed by the old lord, and answered Zhang Fei's words in a tone without sadness or joy: "Tong is not dead, he did not die under Liu Bei's calculations, since the day he followed Liu Bei, he has tried his best to help him take half of Jingzhou, and he has offered plans to help him seize Yizhou, but how did he treat Tong?" The birds are hiding their bows, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking! Since he can use Tong as a bait for a bitter scheme, then why should Tong still follow him by the side of a merciless and unrighteous person? General Zhang, Tong is now the vice minister of Yan State, and he doesn't want to mention the past anymore. ”

Pang Tong's words made Zhang Fei feel extremely shocked. When Liu Bei and Pang Tong divided their troops, Zhang Fei was also present, but with his thick nerves, how could he notice Liu Bei's small actions in secret? Now combined with Pang Tong's words, it seems that the eldest brother gave up Pang Tong in order to seize the city, but how is this possible? The eldest brother is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, how could he do such a thing? But if Pang Tong is talking nonsense, Zhang Fei can't believe it. Although the time they got along was only two years, Zhang Fei admired Pang Tong very much, it can be said that if there was no Pang Tong, there would be no three brothers today, people like Pang Tong, if it wasn't for some unexpected changes, how could he abandon Liu Bei and join Ao Lie's command?

Ao Lie looked at Zhang Fei's expression struggling in confusion, and knew that he was at war with heaven and man in his heart at the moment, suffering great pain, all along, Zhang Fei regarded Liu Bei as the most amiable and respectable brother, in Zhang Fei's eyes, Liu Bei is a big hero who stands up to the sky, everything he does is to look up to the sky and look down on the earth, but now, Liu Bei's tall and majestic image collapsed instantly, and the pain in Zhang Fei's heart can be imagined.

"Concentrate! The big war is coming, how can you be distracted! Ao Lie didn't know how to comfort Zhang Fei, so he had to use this heads-up initiated by Zhang Fei to temporarily distract him.

Zhang Fei was attracted by Ao Lie's words, and asked a little dejectedly: "What the military advisor said, is it true?" Ao Lie shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, those are all things in the past, if you want to ask clearly, go ask Liu Bei after the war." Now, what you have to do is forget about everything else and concentrate on fighting a certain battle! Distracted on the battlefield, this shouldn't be something you Zhang Yide did! ”

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Ao Lie's friendship with him was no different from Liu Bei's to himself, it was the kind of very firm brotherhood, all the time, Ao Lie's care for himself made Zhang Fei very grateful in his heart, if he met Ao Lie first, maybe he would have been one of the five tiger generals under Ao Lie's command now, not to mention it, let's just say that today's situation, eighty percent of the 10,000 elite cavalry under his command defected to Ao Lie's side, and the Shu soldiers brought by Meng Da and others were only 40,000 people, And Ao Lie's Yan army originally had 100,000 people, plus the cavalry who had defected to the past and the soldiers under Zhu Jun, there were 120,000 troops, if Ao Lie didn't miss the old feelings, or if he was more utilitarian, there was no need to agree to this heads-up, just let the army run over, with Zhang Fei's strength, it would be impossible to stop the Yan army for too long. But Ao Lie didn't do that, and agreed to his appointment without hesitation, you know, the bet of this appointment is the entire Dongchuan region!

"Thank you, I owe you another favor." Zhang Fei put away his messy thoughts, shifted his attention to the upcoming showdown with Ao Lie, and said to Ao Lie seriously. Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he is not unsophisticated, how could he not understand Ao Lie's friendship? In response to the famous saying of later generations, Zhang Fei embroidered flowers, which is thick and fine. Ao Lie is not only a person close to Zhang Fei, but also a respectable opponent, only by going all out can he be worthy of Ao Lie's friendship and worthy of an opponent like Ao Lie.

The next moment, the Zhangba snake spear churned up in Zhang Fei's hand, and the tip of the spear was two feet long, as if it had come to life, like a snake letter with a poisonous tongue, revealing several afterimages, shrouding Ao Lie's vital body. There was a time when Ao Lie had to learn martial arts with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei every day, but at that time, Ao Lie was still young, his martial arts had not yet reached the realm of transformation, and his body functions were still in the development stage, so he did not have the strong physical fitness as he did today, so during that time period, the competition between the three of them was all point-to-point. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and although they have met many times during this period, they have not been given the opportunity to compete again due to various reasons. He hadn't fought for ten years, but Zhang Fei was sure that Ao Lie's martial arts must have reached the top, so as soon as he made a move, he also wanted to test Ao Lie's entry over the years to see which realm Ao Lie had entered.

Facing Zhang Fei's stirring spear shadow, Ao Lie smiled slightly, the overlord gun in his hand was like an arm and fingers, and he poked lightly into the heavy spear shadow, without exerting force at all, but using the weight of the overlord gun itself, using the technique of clumsiness and overcoming rigidity with ingenuity, and the essence of heavy sword without edge and great ingenuity.

Under Ao Lie's point, the shadow of the spear stirred up by Zhang Fei was like a balloon that had been punctured, and it instantly dissipated into nothingness. With just one move, Ao Lie let Zhang Fei see the profundity of the Formation Breaking Overlord's marksmanship. "Huh? How did you know the flaw in this trick? Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask loudly.

Ao Lie shot out like lightning, quickly stabbed Zhang Fei's left shoulder, and said loudly: "The principle of heaven and earth and all things, there must be a right, naturally, there is no arrangement, one yin and one yang, and the yang disappears when the yin is long!" The meaning of Ao Lie's words is to tell Zhang Fei that everything between heaven and earth is mutually reinforcing, there must be yin and yang, everything is not absolute, and the same is true of martial arts moves, no move can be flawless, the more aggressive the move, the easier it is to be broken by light techniques.

Zhang Fei swung his spear to block a shot from Ao Lie's stab, and his tone was mixed with a hint of envy and a hint of admiration: "So, you have already penetrated the realm of no tricks to win?" ”

Ao Lie took advantage of the gap between the wrong horse and replied to Zhang Fei lightly: "Don't you know the way if you try again?" Ao Lie's tone of saying this was not like he was on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, but more like a discussion with a mentor and friend, which made Zhang Fei's heart more tranquil.
