Chapter 662: Mediation for the two of you only
The army was stationed in the wilderness only fifty miles away from Xiao Pei, and Ji Ling received Lu Bu's invitation, and he was very puzzled in his heart.
This time, he led the army to come in order to crusade against Liu Bei, and Lu Bu inexplicably suddenly invited him to Xuzhou for a banquet, which really made him feel a little confused.
Lu Bu and Yuan Shu had already agreed on their in-laws, and he ordered someone to come to invite him, but Ji Ling was inconvenient not to go, so he had to bring more than a dozen personal soldiers, hurry up, and go in the direction of Xuzhou.
After entering Xuzhou City, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the official mansion, Ji Ling saw Lu Bu, who had already received the news, standing outside the main gate waiting for him.
exchanged a few words with Lu Bu, and as Lu Bu entered the official mansion, he had only walked a few steps before Ji Ling stopped.
He saw three figures appear in front of him.
Although he had never seen Liu Bei and others, Ji Ling had a description of Liu Bei and others.
Liu Bei has a short beard with a white face, Guan Yu has a long beard with a red face, and Zhang Fei has a face like the bottom of a pot.
The characteristics of these three men are so obvious that they can be recognized at a glance.
Seeing Liu Bei and the others standing in the front yard of the official mansion, Ji Ling's eyes suddenly opened, turned his head to look at Lu Bu, snorted heavily, and turned around to leave the official mansion.
As soon as he turned around, before he could take a step, Lu Bu reached out to stop him.
"Why is General Ji in a hurry to leave?" Blocking Ji Ling's way, Lu Bu smiled and asked him.
"Wen Hou is inviting someone to come to the banquet, what does this mean?" Raising his hand to point at Liu Bei, who was walking towards them, Ji Ling asked Lu Bu with an angry face: "Why is Liu Bei also here?" β
Before Lu Bu could answer, Liu Bei had already arrived beside Ji Ling, holding his fists and arching towards Ji Ling.
Liu Bei's face was full of smiles, and he was going to say a few polite words to Ji Ling, but Ji Ling turned his head and snorted coldly, not planning to pay attention to him at all.
was stunned in front of Ji Ling, Liu Bei didn't mind, but turned his gaze to Lu Bu with a worried face.
Glaring at Liu Bei and asking him to make a noise, Lu Bu said to Ji Ling with a smile on his face: "Recently, there have been many military disasters, and the people have suffered a lot, and the soldiers have fought for a long time. The general came from afar, intending to crusade against Xuande, and he was already clear in his heart. β
"Since Wen Hou knew that he came to crusade against Liu Bei, why did he invite both of me to the banquet, what is his intention?" Glaring at Lu Bu, Ji Ling asked hatefully.
Although he was full of resentment, Ji Ling never dared to say too much, after all, he was in Xuzhou at the moment, and Lu Bu was strong in martial arts, don't say one Ji Ling, even if he came to three or five Ji Ling, I am afraid he would not be his opponent.
In front of Lu Bu, Ji Ling still didn't dare to be too arrogant, and after asking such a question, he turned his head to the side and stopped looking at Lu Bu.
"It is better to settle the dispute, not to settle it!" Stretched out his hand and took one of Ji Ling's hands, and then stretched out his hand to Liu Bei.
Seeing Lu Bu stretch out his hand, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to pull him.
"It's just a mediation for the two of you today, and there's nothing else to do!" Holding Ji Ling and Liu Bei's hands, Lu Bu said to Ji Ling: "For the sake of a certain thin face, the two of them have the right to collect their troops, if they really want to fight in the future, it is not too late to fight again!" β
Liu Bei, who originally knew that he couldn't beat Ji Ling and came to find Lu Bu for help, agreed with Lu Bu's statement a thousand times.
Ji Ling, who could lead the army to crusade against Liu Bei, got Yuan Shu's order, how could he easily return to the army.
Liu Bei repeatedly agreed to the boycott, but Ji Ling turned his head to the side and was silent for a long time.
Seeing that Ji Ling was silent, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Get a halberd for a certain person!" β
Lu Bu wanted to take the halberd, and Ji Ling was suddenly shocked.
If he didn't give Lu Bu face, he would really be annoyed by Lu Bu, first kill him, and then lead the army to attack the Huainan army stationed near Xiaopei, and the Huainan army will definitely suffer a big loss.
A moment later, two personal soldiers came to the front carrying Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd.
Letting go of Ji Ling and Liu Bei's hands, Lu Bu took the Fang Tian painting halberd carried by the soldiers from the side, strode to the open space on the side, and shouted to a personal soldier not far away: "Shoot an arrow at so-and-so." β
Hearing Lu Bu's shout, the soldier was stunned and didn't dare to move.
"Shoot an arrow at so-and-so!" Seeing that the soldiers didn't dare to move, Lu Bu glared at him and shouted angrily.
was shouted by Lu Bu, and the soldiers didn't dare to be any more lazy, so they hurriedly took a longbow from the side, put an arrow on the bowstring, and aimed at Lu Bu.
Looking at Lu Bu, who was standing facing the soldiers with the bow in his hand, Liu Bei was full of beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know what Lu Bu was going to do.
Ji Ling pouted, a little unimpressed.
From Lu Bu's posture, he could already see that Lu Bu was going to perform a halberd splitting arrow in front of him and Liu Bei.
The generals on horseback led the army to charge into battle, and most of them could drop the arrows that the enemy was shooting head-on to the ground with weapons, and Ji Ling was also one of such generals, so he didn't take Lu Bu's posture seriously.
"Archery!" Another broken cry came from Lu Bu's mouth, and the pro-soldier holding the longbow hurriedly let go of the hand that pulled the bowstring.
With the trembling of the bowstring, the arrow "swished" and flew towards Lu Bu.
Seeing that the arrow was about to fly towards the front door, Lu Bu roared, and the halberd in his hand drew a semicircle horizontally forward.
The halberd collided with the arrow, and the arrow made a crisp "pop" and fell to the ground.
Seeing that Lu Bu really used the halberd to knock the arrow down, Ji Ling shook his head and didn't say anything, but then the shout of a soldier of Lu Bu suddenly made his face stunned.
"The arrow was split in two from the middle!" The soldier picked up the arrow that had been chopped by Lu Bu from the ground, ran to Lu Bu, split the two pieces vertically from the middle, and raised the arrows like two thin chopsticks high, and shouted to Lu Bu.
Hearing the soldier's shout, Lu Bu smiled inadvertently, but Ji Ling and the others standing in the front yard couldn't help but be stunned.
Splitting the oncoming arrows is not difficult for fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but they ask themselves, if they want to be like Lu Bu, it is not easy to split the arrows vertically.
"You five!" Looking around at the stunned crowd, Lu Bu raised his arm, pointed at the five pro-soldiers, and said to the five pro-soldiers: "Shoot arrows at a certain one at the same time!" β
The five pro-soldiers got the order and hurriedly stood in a row, each of them opened their longbows in their hands, and all the arrows on the bowstrings were aimed at Lu Bu.
"Shoot the arrows!" When the five pro-soldiers drew their longbows, Lu Bu gave them another shout.
The five soldiers with longbows received the order, and Qi Qi let go of his hands and shot the arrows towards Lu Bu.
Although the arrows are fired at the same speed, the speed and angle of the arrows are different due to the strength of the bowstring and the arm strength of the soldier who draws the bow.
Five arrows flew towards Lu Bu, but between the lightning and flint, Lu Bu let out a loud shout, picked up the halberd in his hand, and slashed towards the oncoming arrows.
With a few crisp sounds, five arrows flying towards Lu Bumian fell to the ground one after another.
When the arrows landed, without waiting for the soldiers to step forward and pick them up, Ji Ling strode over, picked up all the arrows that had been chopped down, and checked them one by one.
The several arrows that were fired at Lu Bu were all split vertically from the center, the incisions were new, and the chopping was very neat, even more neat than a person chopping wood.
"Wen Hou is brave, and the last general is convinced!" Looking at the neatly cut arrow in his hand, Ji Ling clenched his fists with both hands, bowed down to Lu Bu, and said to Lu Bu: "With such a skill, there is probably no second person in the world who can do it except for Wen Hou!" β
Putting the halberd head down and inserting it on the ground, Lu Bu stepped forward and patted Ji Ling's shoulder gently, and said to him with a smile: "I invited the general to come here today, just to mediate between the general and Xuande, I don't know what the general wants?" β
"This ......" Lu Bu once again mentioned that he wanted to mediate between him and Liu Bei, Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, and said to Lu Bu: "I'm afraid that when I return to Huainan, it will not be good to ...... Yuan Gong"
Seeing that Ji Ling's face was embarrassed, Lu Bu raised his hand and shouted to the soldiers on the side, "Come with a short spear and a bow and arrow." β
A soldier quickly took a short spear and a bow and arrows and sent them to LΓΌ Bu.
Taking the short spear and bow handed by the soldier, Lu Bu held the spear in one hand and the bow in the other, and said to Ji Ling: "A certain shot an arrow at this short spear fifty paces away, if one of its arrows can be broken, General Ji will return to Huainan and inform Yuan Gong that it was a certain mediator, and the general had no choice but to turn back." If an arrow breaks the shaft of the spear, the general doesn't need to pay attention to the mediation of the general, just start a war with Xuande! β
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Liu Bei's face was as shocked as earth.
Although the shaft of the spear is wooden, it is very hard, and it is very difficult for the arrow to penetrate him, even if it is chopped with a large knife, if the strength is insufficient, it is impossible to split it in two with one sword.
Lu Bu said that he would shoot the spear shaft in two with an arrow fifty paces away, and everyone present had a trace of suspicion in their hearts.
Even if Lu Bu was brave, it was extremely difficult to shoot fifty steps away and break the spear shaft in two.
looked at Lu Bu suspiciously, hesitated for a while, and then Ji Ling nodded helplessly.
Although he was still very skeptical about whether Lu Bu could break the spear shaft with one arrow, Ji Ling was not completely optimistic about Lu Bu.
After all, just now five oncoming arrows flew to the ground, and all of them were neatly cut, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"Put the spear on the line!" Seeing Ji Ling nodding, Lu Bu threw the short spear at a nearby soldier.
The soldier ran to a distance of fifty paces from Lu Bu before he stopped, and plunged his spear deep into the ground.
When the soldier had inserted the short spear, Lu Bra raised his longbow, his eyes narrowed slightly, aimed at the short spear fifty paces away, and let go of his hand sharply.
With the trembling sound of the longbow string in Lu Bu's hand, an arrow "swished" and flew like lightning towards the short spear fifty paces away.
