Chapter 139: Angelica, Angelica (1) (6k)

On the south bank of the water, the two horses are side by side on the riverside.

The big black man with a slightly dark face looked to the side and had been paying attention to dressing, but now he was a tall young man who was hiding in Tibet because he was in a hurry for days, so that his clothes and armor and face were covered with dust.

"This trip made Feng suffer first. Just having a black face has only this one benefit, even if you experience more wind and frost, this complexion can't be darker. It's not like some people, who have to dress up like a woman all day long. "The black-faced man is naturally Zhang Fei.

On the same day, he led people to receive Liu Bei and others outside Gaoliu City, and before he could settle down, Liu Bei arranged for Liu Bei to attack the Xianbei Khan Court with Lu Bu and others.

At that time, although Liu Bei knew that the Han army would be defeated in Liangshan and the siege of Python Mountain was inevitable, he actually did not have the slightest idea of how to attack the Xianbei Khan's court, so he just asked Zhang Fei and others to act at the opportunity.

Lu Bu on the side pulled the corners of his mouth casually, patted the stomach on his body, and for a while, a puff of smoke and dust rose on the sides of the two.

"No matter how down-and-out you are, it's a lot better than a black man like you. Some people have to rely on their skills to have something to eat, but some people can have food just by their appearance. A certain family happens to have both, and you ......" Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Fei, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

"Feng Xian loves to talk and laugh, I am a first-class good man like this, and I will definitely find a woman from a big family to be my wife in the future." Zhang Fei grinned.

"That's what you want." Lu Bu rubbed his forehead, "I'm different, and only the most beautiful woman in the world is worthy of me as a hero." ”

"Heroes of the world? I think it's the world's most money-hungry and lustful person. Zhang Fei said with a smile.

Coming all the way, the two have some understanding of each other's temperament, and now the relationship is not bad, at least joking.

It's just that one day if they really want to go to the step of swords facing each other, neither of them will keep their hands, and these two people also know it.

"What's wrong with being greedy for money and lustful? No one is greedy for money, and no one is lustful, but I dare to say it bluntly. Lu Bu said with a smile.

Zhang Fei didn't refute, just looked at the north shore.

It's late at night, but the lights are still shining in the Xianbei camp on the shore. The Xianbei rangers patrolling the shore held torches in their hands, and kept coming and going, like fish swimming in the water.

Danhan Mountain is where the Xianbei royal court is located, and now although Tanshi Huai is out on the expedition, it also leaves a large number of military horses here, and it is by no means an easy task to cross the river.

"What do you think?" Zhang Fei asked suddenly.

The two of them have been here with their troops for many days, and under secret observation, they know everything about the defense on the opposite side, but they probably have seen a lot.

Although there is only a river apart now, it is very difficult to cross the river.

Lu Bu also looked up at the north shore, although he had always been brave and brave, but in the current situation, he didn't dare to speak out, "Although there are many defenders on the other side, it is not that you and I can't fight." But only the crossing of the river was the most difficult. ”

The art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers can attack it halfway.

I think that except for Song Xianggong, a fool who claims to be benevolent and righteous, no one will give up such a fighter.

They have already explored the topography of the water, and the whole river is turbulent, and there is only one place suitable for crossing the river.

Xianbei people have already erected a pontoon bridge here, and it is also the main road for Xianbei to travel between the north and south banks.

"How to cross the river is really difficult. It's just that looking at the movements of the Xianbei people on the other side now, most of the brothers have done it, and our side must do it as soon as possible. Zhang Fei also frowned.

In the past few days, they have naturally noticed the movement of the Xianbei army under Danhan Mountain, and they think that the victory and defeat have already been decided on the side of Liangshan.

Now if Liu Bei's plan is smooth, he should have retreated to Python Mountain at this time, Liu Bei had told him his plan and Guan Zhang and the others, so now he is not very worried about the situation on Liu Bei's side.

Now that the Xianbei army is mobilized, it is a good opportunity for them to implement their plan, if they miss it, I am afraid that it will be thousands of times more difficult to do it again.

Zhang Fei suddenly patted the armor stomach on his body and laughed, but it startled Lu Bu, who was pondering at this time.

"I came up with an idea to cross the river." Zhang Fei looked at Lu Bu with a smug expression.

Lu Bu was not deceived by him, and after getting along for a long time, how could he not know that this reckless black man had a delicate mind in his heart.

Now that this appearance is revealed, most of them are going to dig a pit.

"Let's hear it first." Lu Bu said cautiously.

Seeing that Lu Bu was so cautious, Zhang Fei sighed, it seems that his own kung fu is not at home, and he accidentally reveals a flaw, so he should be more careful in the future.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fei touched his nose and said with a smile, "Will I still harm you?" ”

"Actually, this strategy is very simple, my brother once told me and my second brother a story about crossing the river in white." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

When he was still in Zhuo County, Liu Bei once told the story of crossing the river in white clothes in the name of opening up the horizons of the two, and naturally applied the matter to an unknown person of unknown dynasty.

"It's a doable plan."

Lu Bu, who had listened to the strategy, nodded, although this plan sounded quite dangerous, but if you think about it carefully, it can be regarded as a good strategy to deal with this matter now.

"If you act according to your strategy, one person in front needs to negotiate with the Xianbei people, and one person in the back to block you. You and I are just right, but I don't know who is in front and who is behind. Lu Bu asked with a smile.

He's not a stupid guy who is willing to blow up, so he naturally knows what the problem is.

The person who negotiated with Xianbei in front of him had already crossed the river and was down-to-earth. With the skills of the two of them, even if they are detected by the Xianbei people, they may not be able to fight to the death.

But for the people who are hiding behind him, if he is on the pontoon bridge, if he is seen through by the Xianbei people halfway, then he can only fight by the water, and he falls into the embarrassing situation of hitting him halfway, but I am afraid that it is extremely difficult to survive.

Thinking about it like this, he also understood why Zhang Fei subconsciously showed that smiling look.

I didn't want Zhang Fei to say with a smile: "Feng Xian has been in the border area for a long time, so naturally Feng Xian went forward to negotiate, and I blocked the people and horses in the rear." ”

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Fei carefully, and there was some playfulness between his words, "Yide believed me so much?" ”

"My brother once said that it is difficult to say how Feng Xian's conduct is, but if you do business with Feng Xian, as long as you make money, I am afraid that no one can be more trustworthy than you Lu Fengxian."

Lu Bu smiled: "Xuande knows me. ”

…………

In the lower reaches of the water, on the south bank of the pontoon bridge set up by Xianbei, some merchants who sold horses came today, but there were more than 100 people, but they brought a lot of good horses.

The leader was a tall young man, burly, with a long robe stretched extremely tightly on his body.

"So, you're here to sell horses in the Northland?" The head of the Xianbei hundred, who was responsible for guarding the south bank and inspecting the passers-by, asked.

The pontoon bridge is heavily guarded, and there are Xianbei soldiers guarding the north and south banks, and there are several hundred-man teams on each side.

The tall young man was naturally Lu Bu disguised as a horse dealer, and when he faced the inquiry, he first secretly stuffed this hundred people with some silver coins, and when he saw this person quietly accepting it, he said: "I wanted to go to the northwest to sell horses, who wants to meet the Han army coming north." ”

"I wait for these businessmen, what I am most afraid of is those soldiers, those Han soldiers have always looked down on businessmen, and when they go to war, if they are bumped into, I am afraid that the horses we are waiting for will be collected as military funds."

"I have long heard that the Great Khan welcomes the Han merchants the most, and this Danhan Mountain is a stable and prosperous place, so I want to try my luck, and I finally go out of the jam, and I can't return in vain, right? There are still many people in the family who are still waiting for these horses to be sold for food. When Lu Bu talked about this set of words, he was full of emotion and sincerity.

This is a set of rhetoric that he pondered all night, both tragic enough and touching enough.

The Xianbei Hundred Elders also sighed when they heard this, "Who would have thought that your Han family would be so miserable." However, the rumors you have heard are true, my Great Khan has always treated you Han businessmen well, as long as you go to the other side of the strait to do business in a proper manner, you don't have to be abducted and deceived when you were in the Han family, and naturally you will not be treated badly. ”

Lu Bu said yes again and again, but the Xianbei hundred people suddenly said: "I think I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

"I often walk outside the plug, and I may not be sure if I see it occasionally." Lu Bu's expression remained unchanged.

Hearing this, the Xianbei Hundred Leaders nodded, and waved his hand to let the Xianbei soldiers on the pontoon bridge let them go.

Lu Bu walked in the front and stepped onto the pontoon bridge.

The pontoon swayed from side to side, and the water under it rolled eastward.

These landlubbers, born in the Northland, are invincible on horseback, but when they reach the water, they are afraid that they will be at the mercy of those southerners who are good at floating.

A moment later, Lu Bu and the other hundred people had already crossed the river.

After getting off the bridge, he deliberately approached a hundred people who came forward to check, and Wei Xu led people to faintly guard on both sides of the pontoon bridge.

What Lu Bu said was nothing more than his previous set of rhetoric.

To the south of the pontoon bridge, it was already Zhang Fei's turn and others to be inspected by the Xianbei soldiers.

At this time, the Xianbei Bairen who had spoken to Lu Bu before suddenly remembered where he had seen Lu Bu, and he turned around reluctantly and shouted loudly towards the other side, "Be careful of that person, he is the butcher of the Northland." ”

He finally remembered where he had seen him.

Now Lu Bu's reputation in the north is not small, naturally not a name obtained for nothing, before he took Wei Xu and others to run rampant in the north, and the number of Xianbei people killed was innumerable, plus he was very brave, every time he led the troops to raid, he was in the front, so he got the name of the butcher of the north.

And this hundred-man leader had seen Lu Bu from a distance, but it was extremely far away at that time, and Lu Bu was riding on a war horse covered in blood, so he didn't recognize this person for a while.

With his shout, the defenders on the other side and Lu Bu and the others were all stunned.

It's just that Lu Bu came prepared, so he reacted very quickly, he pulled out the ring knife on his waist with his backhand, and slashed the Xianbei Hundred Elders on his side who had not reacted to the ground with one knife, and then took a step back, and Wei Xu and others were blocked on both sides of the pontoon bridge.

At this time, with the action of Lu Bu and others on the north bank, Zhang Fei on the other bank naturally no longer covered up, he drew his knife in front of him to open the way, and took advantage of the stunned defenders on the south bank to lead people to temporarily seize the pontoon bridge.

Then he followed with his sword, and led his cronies to guard the south bank of the pontoon bridge, covering the others to cross the river first.

On the north bank of the pontoon bridge, although Lu Bu brought all the elites of the state under his command this time, Wei Xu and others were also regarded as Mengshi who were trapped, but in the end, they fought more with less, and at this time, they had gradually fallen into disadvantage under the siege of the Xianbei people.

He casually knocked down a Xianbei soldier with a knife, raised his hand to wipe a handful of blood stains splashed on his face, turned his head to look back, and saw that the people and horses brought by Zhang Fei were still in the middle of the crossing, and Zhang Fei also took a few personal guards to break off in front of the pontoon bridge on the south bank.

A pontoon bridge, dangerous on both the north and south banks.

"Fengxian, there are many Xianbei people, I'm afraid we won't last long, why don't we make a decision early?" Wei Xu shouted loudly.

Wei Xu is his confidant and his playmate who grew up together, what is the purpose of Wei Xu's loud shouting at this time, needless to say, Lu Bu naturally knows it.

Wei Xu wanted him to break through.

Now they seem to be in danger, one of them is naturally that there are many people in this place, and they are outnumbered. The second is that they have to defend the pontoon bridge for Zhang Fei and others on the north bank, otherwise if this side is lost, Zhang Fei and others will be attacked by the north and south, and in such adversity, even if the overlord is reborn, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

And when they crossed the shore, they brought a lot of horses, if Lu Bu ordered a breakthrough at this time, they, who had grown up on horseback, wanted to break through, even if there were twice as many Xianbei people here, they would not be able to stop it.

Lu Bu wiped the blood on his face casually, and smiled at Wei Xu behind him: "Businessmen pay attention to the word integrity, break the contract halfway, who will dare to do business with us in the future?" Besides, if I abandon him and fly away today, who knows that I won't abandon you when he is in danger? ”

"Ah Xu, what I learned from that Liu Xuande is not just to have a name of benevolence and righteousness. Although he has had me, but I also have what he can't do, don't forget, when merging states, galloping in the battle array, I am a flying general! ”

He grabbed a spear in his hand, and the long knife in his hand slashed horizontally along the momentum of the spear, and the Xianbei soldier with the spear could not dodge, and was killed by him with a knife, he held the spear in his hand, swept it in one style, and forced the Xianbei soldiers who surrounded him to retreat.

He drew a thin blood-colored line on the ground in front of him with the bloodstained spear in his hand.

With a knife in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, he walked alone in front of the pontoon bridge on the north bank.

This long-time fighter, full of blood, laughed loudly.

"Whoever crosses this line will die."

…………

On the south bank of the pontoon bridge, the situation is no better than that of Lu Bu's side.

As people continued to step on the pontoon bridge, the number of guards around Zhang Fei was also decreasing, and at this time, there were more than ten people in front of him who stopped in front of the bridge.

Fortunately, the area around the pontoon bridge was not large, and Zhang Fei and others made the first move and snatched the oil prepared on the side of the pontoon bridge first.

The pontoon bridge here is a humble place, and naturally there are fire oil prepared on both sides of the river, and once something happens today, the pontoon bridge can be burned down immediately.

At this time, Zhang Fei and others had already blocked several attacks of the Xianbei people, and countless people were killed by the spears in Zhang Fei's hands, and the Xianbei people were also extremely surprised by Zhang Fei's bravery.

First there was the butcher of the state, and then there was this person, how many heroes in the north.

It's just that this person, even if he is brave, is just one person.

Zhang Fei pulled a spear into a person's chest, and directly dragged this person left and right with the spear in his hand, and the Xianbei people in front and behind couldn't stop it, and he was forced to retreat continuously.

The Xianbei people in front of him saw Zhang Fei so brave, and they didn't dare to force him forward for a while.

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, held a spear independent of the pontoon bridge, and said sharply: "As Zhang Yide, who will decide to die together!"

He was already very loud, but now he used all his strength, and the Xianbei people were intimidated by his momentum, although there were many people, they didn't dare to take a step forward for a while.

"Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, what do you want to wait!"

Naturally, the Xianbei people could not retreat with just a few words from him, and the pontoon bridge here was a heavy place for Xianbei, and if they lost this place, they would definitely be severely punished when the Great Khan returned.

However, Zhang Fei's actions delayed a lot of time for the sons on the pontoon bridge, and at this time, their front had already crossed the pontoon bridge and joined the battle situation of Lu Bu in front.

Lu Bu received the help of the reinforcements behind him, and under the great momentum, he temporarily suppressed the Xianbei people on the opposite side.

He hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Huanyan, if you don't cross the river at this time, when will you stay?"

Zhang Fei asked Zhou Chong and the others, who were guarding beside him, to get on the pontoon bridge first, and finally stepped on the pontoon bridge himself, and walked after breaking off.

Seeing Zhang Fei stepping on the pontoon bridge, the Xianbei people who were originally intimidated by his momentum reacted.

It's just that the road on the pontoon bridge is narrow, and it is inconvenient to fight, so the Xianbei people on the south bank are divided into two groups, one group of people bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot Zhang Fei and others, and the other people are moving towards the front of the pontoon, preparing to cut off the pontoon.

At this time, Zhang Fei had just walked to the center of the pontoon. The rest of the knights who came with them had already crossed the river, and now only him and Zhou Chong, who were walking a short distance ahead, were left on the pontoon bridge.

Seeing that the bridge was close in front of me, it was a sudden change.

The pontoon bridge shook from side to side, and it turned out that the Xianbei people on the south bank were already vigorously slashing the pontoon bridge, and the pontoon bridge was already out of balance at this time, and they were afraid that they would cut it off in a few moments.

At this time, the rain of arrows of the Xianbei people also came, Zhang Fei grabbed the chain on the pontoon bridge with one hand, and waved the spear in his hand with the other, and the arrow shot from his side fell down.

It's just that he is a good general on the road in the end, and now he is half-hanging above the river, even if he has a skill, he can't show it.

At this time, although he shot down a lot of arrows, there were still some omissions, but the old force had weakened, and the new force had not risen, even if he saw it, he never had the extra strength to stop it.

He could only watch as the arrows were fired at him.

At this time, Zhou Chong, who was walking in front of Zhang Fei and still had a few steps to set foot on the north shore, swooped backwards, stopped in front of Zhang Fei, and forcibly blocked those arrows for Zhang Fei.

Xianbei people have always been good at shooting, and the two sides of the water are not wide, and the arrow is still full of strength when it is missed here, directly from Zhou Chong's back, and out from the front chest.

Zhang Fei had not yet come to his senses, but Zhou Chong used the last strength of his body and pushed him forward fiercely.

This timid servant who only promises to Zhang Fei on weekdays and says that the owner is right, for the first and last time in his life, yelled loudly at the owner he respected the most, "The owner of the village is leaving, don't look back." ”

Zhang Fei was pushed by him, and at this time he had already come to the edge of the pontoon, but he was still looking at Zhou Chong in a daze, until Zhou Chong could no longer hold the iron chain on the pontoon, and fell into the water like this.

A flower of blood swelled up in the water, first a little, then a clump.

Red and scarlet.

He watched as his blood stained the waters red.

Lu Bu grabbed him by the shoulders with one hand, dragged him off the pontoon, and dragged him to the shore.

He roared, "Ring Eyes, cheer up!" Now is not the time for you to be sad and sad, do you want to see these people stay here and bury you! ”

Zhang Fei slapped himself the cheek, trying to cheer up.

He roared, raised the spear in his hand high, and yelled, "Kill!" ”

With the horses he brought, he rushed forward, and Lu Bu and Zhang Fei then opened the way, although Xianbei was outnumbered, but after a bloody battle, they still had a way out.

…………

In a hidden forest on the north bank of the revenge water, Zhang Fei and others who rushed out were resting here.

When they came from Gaoyanagi North that day, they brought more than 400 people, all of whom were the elites of their subordinates who could fight between them, but now they lost nearly 100 people just by seizing a pontoon bridge, and most of the others were injured.

With the current strength of their army, if they want to attack the Xianbei Khan Court, it is tantamount to asking for their own death, so they still have to find Wang Yan first.

And this is the place where Lu Bu and Wang Yan agreed at the beginning, and the two agreed at that time that if Lu Bu could come to the Khan Court, Wang Yan would come here to meet.

At this time, Zhang Fei was sitting alone on a round stone, he didn't know what he was holding in his hand, and he bowed his head and was silent.

Lu Bu came to his side and sat cross-legged, "But you're thinking about the person who died to save you?" ”

"I've never treated my people badly. My brother has said this many times, but I have never changed it. Zhang Fei said suddenly.

Lu Bu nodded, "Just like I love money, there are always some things, I know that it is not a good thing, but it is difficult to change. ”

"He's been with me for years. I don't want to die today to save me. If I had listened to my brother and been kind to them on weekdays, would I feel less guilty now? ”

Zhang Fei sighed, and when Heng Ge held a spear and broke the bridge, he didn't see any change in his expression, but now it was difficult to hide the sadness on his face.

Why is it that there is always something to lose, so that there can be something to gain?

He spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a jade.

Zhou Chong knew that the owner of his house respected scholars the most, so he used all his savings over the years before leaving, bought this piece of jade, and engraved the text in the middle with his own hands.

Zhang Fei had never looked at it carefully when he gave it to Zhang Fei before, but now he looked carefully and found that it was originally engraved with two words.

The handwriting is clumsy and rough, but the meaning is excellent, just like the heart of the person who gave it.

Jue, also.

There are only two words on it.

Angelica.
