Chapter 32: The clouds grow out of the enemy's fear
Liu Bei looked at the Tanma who had just returned and asked, "Where are those thieves fleeing now?" ”
Tanma replied: "It's almost close to the territory of Jizhou. ”
Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward and said: "Big brother, those thieves have been ravaging the plains for many days, and at this time, it is estimated that they want to go north to make peace with the Black Mountain thieves, but they can't let them succeed." ”
Liu Bei nodded and looked at Tanma: "You go and inform Taishou and Don't drive here to join forces, the thief is at this time!" ”
"Yide, let's go!"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei's galloping figure, and his heart was also agitated, how fortunate he was to be able to follow his eldest brother to make contributions!
……
At this time, the people of Zuo Zhangba, who fled all the way, also noticed the sudden acceleration of the marching speed of Liu Bei and the others behind him, and at this moment he no longer had the luck of leaving the plain to survive, and he understood that Liu Bei was coming at him.
Zhou Cang, who was in the rear, suddenly noticed that the left bearded Zhangba in front of him had stopped, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Qu Shuai, why did you stop moving?" ”
I saw Zuo Zhangba shook his head and said, "Do you think that with Liu Bei's current pursuit speed, we can still leave the plain safely?" Let the brothers all stop, I want to talk to Liu Bei. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard Zuo Zhanghachi's words, and at this time they could still vaguely see the hustle and bustle of the cavalry behind them.
How could a group of teams organized by the homeless people to raid be able to resist the three-way elite cavalry led by Liu Bei, at this time, the idea put forward by Zuo Zhangba was not different from the most realistic.
……
This is the first official meeting between Zuo Zhangba and Liu Bei, and Zuo Zhangba took the initiative to come to the front of the formation, looked at Liu Bei and said:
"Envoy, why are you so hard to force each other, as long as you let us enter Jizhou, we can swear here that we will never invade the plain."
Hearing Zuo Zhangba's words, Liu Bei drove his horse to the front of the battle: "When you plundered the plains and townships, did you ever think that there would be today. ”
Zuo Zhangba closed his eyes slightly and said: "I'm just waiting to survive, so why should you care about me waiting for a few cheap lives." ”
Liu Bei said angrily: "What a life-seeking, your so-called survival is to disregard the lives of others." If I don't kill you today, how can I be righteous! ”
Zuo Zhangba originally thought that Liu Bei was willing to talk to him when he came to the front of the battle, but after hearing Liu Bei's words, he knew that the hope of continuing to talk was slim, but he still struggled to say: "What if I wait for the wish to surrender?" ”
Liu Bei heard Zuo Zhangba's words, and there was no loosening on his face: "It's okay to surrender, but the first evil must be punished, otherwise it won't be enough to anger the people." ”
Seeing that after Liu Bei finished speaking, there was a commotion among the soldiers below, and it was obvious that Liu Bei had already moved them. As Zuo Zhangba pulled out his long knife, the bottom returned to quiet: "Are you really not afraid that I will wait for the fish to die and the net will be broken?" ”
Liu Bei didn't look at Zuo Zhangba much, and returned directly to the formation, and he actually had a conclusion about this thief from the beginning inside the plain:
These five or six thousand people are very scarce for the current plains, whether it is to recover this group of thieves, or to appease the hearts of the people of the plains, this person must die.
Liu Bei stood in the formation and shouted: "Today, only the head of the evil will be punished, and those who descend will not die!" ”
Seeing that the cavalry on the opposite side had already made a charging posture, Zuo Zhangba couldn't help but regret the decision to stop just now, and he never thought that at this moment, because of Liu Bei's words, the army's heart would be shaken.
Knowing the purpose of Liu Bei's trip, Zuo Zhangba naturally would not sit still, at this time, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he held the long knife in his hand and slashed at the leader in front of him who had already laid down his weapon.
Zuo Zhangbachi has been able to crisscross Hebei for many years, and knows that at this time, only by performing more ruthlessly than his opponent can he stabilize the people under him. looked at Liu Bei and said, "Kill!" ”
Seeing that the eight murderous faces of the left beard were revealed, Liu Bei no longer hesitated at the moment, and the male and female double-strand swords were already out of the sheath: "Kill the thief!" ”
Liu Bei's voice did not fall at this time, and he saw Guan Yu rush out of the formation first: "Wait for a certain person to take down the head of the thief for my brother!" ”
After staking all his subordinates, Zuo Zhanghachi also took advantage of the chaos to gather his own soldiers and retreat.
Seeing Liu Bei's side move, Zuo Zhangba didn't look at the battle situation, and drove the horse to flee into the distance. He had no interest in a fight whose outcome was already predestined, and at this point it was still vital to save his life, and he only hoped that the outcasts would buy him a little more time to escape.
Zuo Zhangba's idea was destined not to come true, and the moment he turned around, Guan Yu had already rushed over. After swinging his knife and slashing a few thieves who were in front of him, Guan Yu automatically had an extra path in front of him.
Soon, Liu Bei and others also led the cavalry to rush in, and they did not encounter any resistance, so they broke the formation temporarily organized by Zuo Zhangba. Zhang Fei roared angrily: "The thief head fled, you won't come down early!" ”
Just after Zhang Fei shocked everyone, Guan Yu at this time also caught up with Zuo Zhangba's party. Although there is only one person and one rider, Zuo Zhanghachi has had enough of the suffering of this red-faced man a few days ago.
What's more, now that there is no time to delay, Zuo Zhangba gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers beside him and said: "After you stay in the palace, you can leave by yourself after killing this general, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness between you and me." ”
After Zuo Zhanghachi finished saying this, the soldiers beside him glanced at each other, and finally silently chose to stop. As one of the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban, these pro-soldiers have also followed for many years, and they can really trust life and death.
"Qu Shuai, I'll stay too."
Hearing this, Zuo Zhangba couldn't help but glance at Zhou Cang with a complicated look, this was the first time he had slowed down the speed of the war horse under him. Then at this moment, he couldn't make more choices, so he could only look at Zhou Cang and stay in place.
At this time, there was only one person left by his side, and it could be seen that he attached great importance to Zhou Cang. When the soldiers are gone, they can be recruited again, but the generals who can really be used are rare.
But Zhou Cang chose to stay, in addition to being for the sake of Zuo Zhangba, he also had his own reasons.
In fact, he has long been tired of such a life of running around, burning, killing and plundering, since the death of the great sage and good teacher, the so-called Yellow Turban Army has completely become a group of thieves, which is not his original intention to join the Yellow Turban.
After seeing Zuo Zhanghachi abandon his own personal soldiers, it also became the last straw that crushed his heart, and at this moment he only wanted to die.
At this time, the few personal soldiers left by Zuo Zhangba had been killed by Guan Yu in an instant, and then Guan Yu saw Zhou Cang standing in place, as well as Zuo Zhangba, who had fled a little. He never thought that such a vicious person would have loyal people to work for him, and he saw a kind of determination in Zhou Cang's eyes.
However, this did not affect Guan Yu's movements, he did not forget that his trip was for the eighth level of the left beard, Guan Yu lifted the cold saw in his hand and went to Zhou Cang to kill.
Zhou Cang saw Guan Yu riding his horse towards him, he suddenly felt a sense of oppression coming to him, in this case, Zhou Cang still chose to raise his knife to meet Guan Yu, since he stayed here, he had to do something.
Guan Yu's Green Dragon Glaive Knife landed directly on top of Zhou Cang's long knife, and Zhou Cang was already out of strength under one blow. Zhou Cang saw that the blade was about to fall on his body, but he saw that Guan Yu's knife turned around, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife slapped on Zhou Cang's body, knocking Zhou Cang off his horse.
"Your life, stay for the time being."
Zhou Cang, who was lying on the ground, looked at Guan Yu's departing figure, but he had a thought in his heart: General Guan is really a celestial being...
