Chapter 22 The Technique of Peace
It is said that Liu Bei saw Zhang Jiao's approach to summon the Yin soldiers and ghost generals, and according to the original plan, he hurriedly rode his horse and ran back according to the original plan, leading Zhang Jiao to a good place in ambush, and then killing him after breaking the demon law.
But when he arrived, he suddenly changed his mind, and rode his horse to the side for miles, ready to sleep until the war was over.
Because after the black dog blood and other filth were spilled, the fishy smell was too bad, Liu Bei had to go to the side to avoid it first, and he could just avoid this battle with the victory in his hands.
That corner should also be, in a panic, he broke out of the encirclement, and ran out for several miles just to bump into Liu Bei!
Seeing Zhang Jiao, Liu Bei was also very helpless, if it was normal times, Liu Bei would definitely not dare to single him out, but Zhang Jiao has been broken now, what are you afraid of him doing?
I thought that I could meet Zhang Jiao who ran away, it seems that this is the will of God, so let's play with him!
So he took his sword and rode his horse in the middle of the road to block his way, and gestured with one hand and said, "Here, there used to be a mountain, but now it is gone!
"Here, there used to be a road, but now it's gone!
"If you want to pass from here, or go back, you have to leave money for the master to buy road money!"
Liu Bei suddenly burst out of his mind with these few lines of Zhang Weijian's version of Cheng biting gold, learning his movements and gesturing, how to shout at Zhang Jiao!
"Today is really, the sky is going to kill me!" Zhang Jiao was full of emotion, and it was not that he had not thought about escaping, but now he was exhausted.
"If you don't want to die, you can slip away, give money and give money!" Liu Bei pretended to be a little impatient, picked up his sword and pointed at him and said.
In fact, Liu Bei deliberately delayed time and deliberately let him go, after all, it was not good for him to capture Zhang Jiao.
I also have to accept a strange punishment that I don't know, I originally wanted to hide, who knew that this could also be encountered, and I couldn't do it too obviously, so I wanted to tease him on a whim.
Zhang Jiao dismounted, knelt down in front of Liu Bei and said, "Hero, money, I don't have it now......!"
"Back then, the Nanhua Immortals gave me three volumes of the Book of Heaven, so that I could call the wind and rain, I knew that my qi was exhausted, and I was willing to exchange the Book of Heaven for my life!"
Liu Bei suddenly became interested, "Take it and take a look!"
I saw Zhang Jiao take off his armor, take out three bamboo slips from his underwear, hold them above his head with both hands, and present them to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took the bamboo slips, the bamboo slips exuded a smell of sweat, mixed with some fishy smell, and couldn't help but cover his nose and frown.
Immediately ripped off a piece of clothing and wrapped it up and put it away, and took the bamboo slip's hand and rubbed it on his pants a few times with a disgusted face.
Then he put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed it, and immediately retched!
Seeing this, Zhang Jiao said embarrassedly, "This book is kept close to you all year round, so naturally...... Hey, hey!"
Liu Bei didn't pay attention to Zhang Jiao, probably looked at the content on it, and rolled his eyes, "It's really a book from heaven!"
At that time, the prevailing text was Lishu, and the Han Li was almost the same as the current simplified Chinese characters, but the bamboo slips were written with small seals, which was far from the same, and Liu Bei seemed to be the Book of Heaven.
It knows Liu Bei, but Liu Bei doesn't know it!
Thinking that Qin Ni should know each other, even if he doesn't realize it, it should be no problem to learn it again, so he snorted coldly, "Why don't you get out of here!"
When Zhang Jiao heard this, he jumped on the horse as if he had been amnestied, and kept saying words of thanks in his mouth!
He slapped the horse's buttocks vigorously and fled forward without looking back.
Just after running less than 100 meters, suddenly a cold light flashed, and then I heard Zhang Jiao scream and fell off the horse.
Liu Bei turned around, only to see a pair of people and horses suddenly flashing in front of him, surrounding Zhang Jiao, led by Cao Cao, who fired three arrows in a row with his bow and arrows, swishing, all straight into Zhang Jiao's chest.
It turned out that after Dong Zhuo was replaced by Huangfu Artemisia, Cao Cao was outnumbered, and he suffered a loss in Zhang Jiao's demon law, and he did not dare to face the enemy head-on.
So he took his headquarters soldiers and horses to fight guerrillas, although he couldn't hurt the root of Zhang Jiao's soldiers and horses, but it also gave Zhang Jiao a headache.
It's like making dozens of small cuts on you, but you can't kill you, run away when you're done, you can't catch him, you can't do anything about him, and you're angry!
In the past few days, Cao Cao either burned his granary or burned his barracks, set fire to it and ran, and then retreated without a fight after calling for battle.
The soldiers and horses who made Zhang Jiao were physically and mentally exhausted, and it was a serious lack of rest.
No, Cao Cao was about to burn his granary again, but he faintly heard shouting halfway through, and wanted to go over to see what was going on.
Suddenly, he saw Zhang Jiao, so he shot him off the horse with a bow and arrows, and was afraid that he would use the demon method again, so he made up three more arrows.
Poor that horn, in the early years, he also benefited the people, and now he has ended up like this!
"Destiny is hard to disobey!" Liu Bei sighed, "It's not that I won't let you go, it's that God won't let you go!"
"Brother Xuande," Cao Cao was stunned when he saw Liu Bei, "Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, you also have merit, and we will receive this credit together!"
"How about getting an official position?"
Liu Bei didn't think so, this was not his original intention, but he just took pity on Zhang Jiao!
"Thank you for your kindness!" Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Zhang Jiao was shot by you, I don't dare to take it!"
Cao Cao wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Liu Bei, "Brother Meng De quickly took his head, and let the rest of the party stop fighting before the battle, which can also reduce some casualties!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" So Cao Cao personally raised his sword, cut off Zhang Jiao's head, hung it on the battle flag, and rode his horse into the chaos.
"Zhang Jiao's head is here," Cao Cao shouted sharply, "Nian'er and other thieves are blinded, you can put down your weapons today, don't blame the past, go home!"
When everyone saw Zhang Jiao's head, they immediately put down their weapons, knelt down towards it with tears in their eyes, kowtowed three times and left.
In the early years, Zhang Jiao relied on "Taiping Technique" to ensure that the wind and rain were smooth, and also benefited the people, and he was deeply loved by the people.
Now that he is in a different place, he has also received the favor of Zhang Jiao before, and he kneels three times to express his heart.
There are also those who are reluctant to leave.
Seeing this, Liu Bei asked the reason, it turned out that he wanted to collect a corpse for Zhang Jiao and let him be buried in the ground!
It is good to remember his original intention, the dead are the greatest, and after Liu Bei and others discussed, they let them take Zhang Jiao's body.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Jiao's corpse, secretly stuffed some silver taels to the corpse collectors, wiped his tears and said, "Zhang Jiao and I are also acquainted, you take this money, buy him a coffin for burial!"
The people knelt down and kowtowed several times in a row and said, "Thank you, thank you..."
Liu Bei picked them up, explained a few words, and then let them go.
Looking at their departing backs, Liu Bei muttered in a low voice, "There is only so much I can do for you!"
"You can't take your book for nothing!"
The scene that happened just now was seen by Cao Cao, although he didn't hear what Liu Bei said clearly, but he was sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
It's definitely buying people's hearts!
"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, what kind of housework!" Cao Cao sighed with emotion, "It's just doing!"
At the same time, Cao Cao was also more sure that it was right to assassinate Liu Bei in the first place, and if he was allowed to develop, he would definitely be a scourge in the future.
"Someone!" Cao Cao beckoned and called, and immediately two men who looked like generals appeared in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao leaned into their ears and whispered a few words.
"Yes!" the two replied.
"Go ahead!"
