Chapter 8: The Repatriated Fan Jiang
Soochow. Wuchang County.
The lobby was lined up with civil and military forces, but it was noisy.
Since LΓΌ Meng crossed the river in white, Guan Yu was killed, and the relationship between Eastern Wu and Shu Han was completely broken.
Wu Lord Sun Quan frowned, looking at the two factions in front of him with their own rhetoric - the main battle faction and the main peace faction. These two major forces have repeatedly admonished Sun Quan, who has been disturbed all day long, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.
"Silence!"
After thinking about it for many days, Sun Quan had already made up his mind.
However, before he could express it, he heard the news that Fan Jiang and Zhang Fei had surrendered.
Fan Jiang was waiting carefully outside at the moment, and was overjoyed when he heard the news that Sun Quan had summoned him.
entered the lobby and bowed to Sun Quan from afar. "Meet Wu Hou..."
"Zhang Fei hated Wu Hou deeply, looking forward to Liu Bei killing Wu day and night, and he also threatened to catch His Majesty and vowed to skin and cut the flesh, I was humiliated and beheaded Zhang Fei at the risk of death! I only wish to smear my liver and brain and serve Wu Hou! β
Hearing this, Sun Quan's blue eyes flashed with a hint of anger, straightened his purple hair, and immediately got up.
"Good, good, good!"
"Lonely want to see, what does this person who threatens to skin me look like?"
When Fan Jiang heard Sun Quan say this, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a hint of joy. Hurriedly opened it from the carry-on package and carefully put it down.
Sun Quan only glanced at it from a distance, and he felt like he was falling into a cold cave, as if the head was about to come back to life at any time, and he opened his bloody mouth and asked for his life. "Yes, that's great!"
Sun Quan was frightened, his eyes turned to Fan Jiang, and he was furious.
"A Guan Yu has already made Liu Bei hate me so much, and now there is another Zhang Fei, you trouble!"
"Come on, drag it down and behead it!"
When Fan Jiang heard Sun Quan's sudden change, he was shocked, knelt on the ground and slammed it, begging for mercy again and again.
Just then, a voice came. "Marquis Wu, slow down, the minister has something to do."
Zhuge Jin glanced at Fan Jiang, who was still kneeling and begging for mercy, and gestured towards Sun Quan.
"The minister's suggestion was to leave Fan Jiang alive and repatriate him. In addition, the generals Fu Shiren and Mi Fang were brought back to Chengdu together and returned to Mrs. Sun. In this way, Liu Xuande's resentment can be eliminated and alleviated. β
Sun Quan thought about it, and he could only do this.
"Good. Let you be the envoy, and you can set off. β
Repatriation?
Fan Jiang was stunned, and several people dragged him out with a pull.
When he was dragged down, he looked at the back of a person present, and wanted to call for help, but he was shocked by the dark eyes and couldn't speak.
β¦β¦
At this moment, the night gradually dissipated, and the early morning sun sprinkled the earth, illuminating the sneaking figure of Zhang Da and his army.
"General, we have escaped from Shudi, and we should be safe now." Wang Xiaowu said with a sigh of relief.
Zhang Da smiled slightly, did not answer, but his eyes fell on the valley in front of him.
"Attention, everyone, there's a valley ahead, let's rest there first." Zhang Da ordered.
Everyone followed Zhang Da's guidance and soon came to the valley.
During the night of the flight, everyone was tired, hungry and thirsty.
Zhang Da adhered to the principle of not giving up any brother, and stubbornly blocked several attacks from Ma Dai's pursuers alone.
Along the way, from Langzhong to Jinniu Road, and then from Jinniu Road to Yangping Pass, and finally Yangping Pass escaped to Chencang Road at night.
But even the iron body can't bear it, not to mention that Zhang Da is just a mortal after all, not a god.
However, only a quarter of an hour or so later, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.
"General, someone is catching up!" The soldier reported in a panic.
The soldiers around them stood up and looked nervously into the distance. I vaguely saw a cavalry unit approaching rapidly, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the earth.
Zhang Da sighed, "Sure enough, it is worthy of Xiliang Iron Rider, I didn't see it riding, I heard its sound first, it was very fierce!" Ma Mengqi, who killed Cao Cao and abandoned his robe, is really worthy of his reputation! β
"Damn it!" Wang Xiaowu cursed, "How could they be so fast? β
Hearing Zhang Da say "Xiliang Iron Cavalry" Wang Xiaowu was shocked and asked Zhang Da: "Could it be that the hussar general Ma Chao personally chased after him?" β
Zhang Da wiped the scarlet blood stains on the spear of the Zhangba snake and replied: "It's not impossible, we rushed out of Yangping Pass and already slapped Ma Chao's face, according to his temperament, it's not impossible." β
"Brave horses, I'll lead away the pursuers, everyone be careful!" After Zhang Da finished speaking, a trace of determination suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"General, don't..."An old military commander saw that Zhang Da was going to risk his life to lead away the pursuers, and he dragged Zhang Da's sleeve with tears in his eyes.
"General Zhang Da, along the way, we are old immortals, and we have dragged you back. It's up to us to lure away the pursuers, how can we bear to let you take another risk? β
Another veteran with gray temples knelt in front of Zhang Da and said tremblingly.
Zhang Da took a deep breath, "I understand your intentions. However, I, Zhang Da, will never abandon any brother! β
"Wang Xiaowu listens to orders! I now order you to be the deputy general, continue to lead everyone to Chencang, I have an old relationship with General Hao Zhao, the guard general of Chencang, you take the Zhangba snake spear in my hand to explain the situation to him, naturally will ensure everyone's safety! β
Wang Xiaowu took the Zhangba snake spear and wanted to dissuade it, but Zhang Da was about to leave without looking back.
Looking at Zhang Da's heavy and determined figure, Wang Xiaowu burst into tears in an instant.
Every time Zhang Da passed a soldier, no matter how tired they were or how badly injured they were, they would invariably stand up and silently watch Zhang Da leave.
Until Zhang Da walked for a long time, a long time, he didn't see their eyes away.
As if saying in my heart: "General Zhang Da, you must return safely!" β
