A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 441: Fan Zhang’s plans for evil are always daring, and the war turns into a foresight

Yin Shi is the transition between night and day, when people sleep the deepest, and it is also the best time for night attacks.

At this time, all the generals in Zhang Fei's camp were drunk by Zhang Fei, and he himself lay on the couch and fell asleep, snoring loudly like thunder.

Not far away from Zhang Fei's hangover, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da gathered in a military tent, whispering to each other and expressing their resentment towards Zhang Fei.

"Zhang Fei is so rude, he actually forced me to drink alcohol. After all, we are also old men who have been following the king for more than ten years. Why are we forcing each other like this?

Where is the face and where is the military law? Do we have to compromise like this to serve Zhang Fei? "

Zhang Da was very resentful of Zhang Fei's actions, and everything he said showed his anger.

Fan Jiang sighed and said: "Zhang Fei is fierce and the king's sworn brother. If he sues suddenly, Zhang Fei will not be harmed. At most, he will be scolded, but it will hurt both of us. In the end, Zhang Fei will be punished." Beat to death."

"Your Majesty is so benevolent and General Guan is so righteous. Why do you act alone? It's true. I can't bear it anymore.

Zhang Fei is drunk today. The guard Junhou guarding the door is a fellow countryman of mine. Why don't we sneak into the tent and capture him. . . How about then defecting to Cao Cao? "

Seeing Zhang Da's gesture of slitting his neck with his hands, clearly intending to assassinate Zhang Fei, Fan Jiang was shocked and said: "No, Zhang Fei is the king's sworn brother. If we kill him, we will become the hatred of the king. I swear to kill him." Of.

Now the king is powerful in the world, and neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan can stop him. If we conquer the world from now on, will there be room for you and me?

Furthermore, even if you surrender to Cao Cao, if the king uses a large army to force you, who knows that Cao Cao will not send you and me to make peace with the king.

Moreover, your Majesty has treated you and me well. We are just middle-aged people. We are people from the countryside. Now we have been promoted to the position of partial general. What a great favor.

The only person who resents me today is Zhang Fei'er. How could it affect the king? Please forgive me, I really can't do the same thing with you, and I will definitely stop you. "

Faced with Fan Jiang's tough attitude, Zhang Da had no choice but to give up in frustration, and finally said: "What can I do?"

Fan Jiang frowned and finally made a decision: "Zhang Fei doesn't regard you and me as brothers, so why should we sacrifice our lives for him? Now that you and I return to Cao Cao with our respective tribes, we have fulfilled the kindness that the king has shown to you and me. righteous.

When the king sees this later, he will definitely blame Zhang Fei and let the king know what you and I mean. If I meet the king again in the future, I will have something to say. "

Zhang Da slapped the table, stood up and said, "Just do it!"

Just when the two were about to leave, taking advantage of the darkness and leading a thousand men and horses to leave, the camp was suddenly attacked by Han Hao. The Zhao army was unprepared and fled in all directions.

The two of them looked at each other and Fan Jiang said: "If you continue to act as usual, Zhang Fei deserves this disaster." After that, he took the lead and left.

The huge sounds of fighting and shouting woke up the hungover Zhang Fei. He opened the door curtain, grabbed a passing soldier and shouted angrily: "What happened?"

When the soldiers saw it was Zhang Fei, they quickly said: "The Korean army attacked at night. Our army was not prepared, so they rushed into the camp and were killing us wantonly."

Zhang Fei threw the man to the ground and said to his left and right: "Take my spear, how dare you, the rats, bully me like this."

Then he turned around and asked smoothly: "Who is on duty tonight?"

The pro-army Sima replied: "Fan Jiang, Zhang Da."

Zhang Fei stopped and before he could reply, he saw Han Hao and others rushing towards him.

There was no time to put on armor, so Zhang Fei had no choice but to wear a brocade robe, hold a spear and charge into the Korean formation with 500 soldiers.

Although Zhang Fei was drunk, he still danced with his spear tightly and kept killing and wounding Han troops, which made Han Hao anxious.

"Generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da led the troops to retreat. I don't know what they are talking about!!!"

A soldier came not far from Zhang Fei and shouted loudly.

"What?" Zhang Fei suddenly became angry. After thinking about it, the spear in his hand inadvertently slowed down a lot. Seeing this, Han Hao was overjoyed and said: "Good opportunity, crossbowmen, join me to shoot Zhang Fei!"

With bows and arrows, and hundreds of people on the left and right, they shot at Zhang Fei densely.

"Ah, it hurts me so much!" Zhang Fei was shot with an arrow in his chest, and his right hand was also pierced by the arrow. He took a few steps back, then cut off the arrow shaft with his spear, so as not to affect his operation, and continued to kill with his spear. enemy.

But it was obvious that the strength of the dancing spear was getting weaker and weaker. He was scratched many times by the Korean army and saw his defeat.

Han Hao was about to fire another arrow to completely end Zhang Fei's martial name.

At the critical moment, when Zhang Fei stepped on the ghost gate, a loud shout rang in Han Hao's ears. He was so shocked that his hand shook, and the arrow shot crookedly, shooting Zhang Fei's hair crown off, making him look like a mountain ghost.

"Stop hurting my father!!!"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Fei's eldest son, Zhang Bao, who was waiting in front of Zhang Fei's tent to listen to his orders and serve as an army commander.

I saw him leading a dozen knights from his team into the formation of hundreds of Han Hao's crossbowmen, killing the Korean army's crossbowmen and scattering them in all directions.

Han Hao fought with him with a knife, but he was no match.

Seeing Zhang Fei's weak strength, Zhang Bao was about to faint. Anger and courage arose in his heart. He pushed Han Hao back with all his strength. He thrust his spear straight into Han Hao regardless of his own safety.

Han Hao was frightened and quickly rolled to the side to protect himself.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Bao immediately turned his horse's head and killed him in the direction of Zhang Fei. When he came to Zhang Fei's side, he dismounted and supported Zhang Fei who was on the verge of collapse.

"Father, mount your horse quickly!"

Zhang Fei's consciousness gradually blurred, and he subconsciously leaned on Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao hugged him, helped him get on the horse, and then handed it to the cavalryman who was about forty years old. While fixing Zhang Fei on the horse, he entrusted:

"Old Liu, my father is begging you. Now that he is seriously injured, don't go to the camp. Go directly to Chang'an to find the king. There is a great doctor in the king's army who can save my father's life!"

Lao Liu was a military lord under Zhang Bao's tent. He was Zhang Bao's close comrade in the army. He had always regarded him as a brother. Now we know that Zhang Bao is Zhang Fei's son.

The old Junhou held the reins of Zhang Fei's horse in one hand and the reins of Zhang Fei's horse in the other to reassure Zhang Bao. Then the two horses headed towards Chang'an under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry.

Seeing Zhang Fei walking away, Zhang Bao picked up the iron spear stuck on the side and said to Zhao Jun who was still defending: "Uncles, fight out with me!"

"Follow the Major General."

Under the leadership of Zhang Bao, the remaining 100 or so people of the Zhao army who were surrounded relied on Zhang Bao's bravery and will to survive to pierce through the Korean army's line and head west.

Han Hao couldn't catch up with him. He looked at Zhao Jun going away and sighed: "The tiger father has no dog son!"

Then he ordered people to clean up the battlefield and return to the pass. Zhang Fei must have been injured, and Zhao Jun would not arrive later.

On the other side, Chang'an.

Although Liu Bei suppressed Xu Huang with great force and made him breathless, after all, he was able to defend the city not in Chang'an City, but at the Wei Bridge, which is more than ten miles north of Chang'an. Relying on the intersection of the Wei River and the Jiao River, he was able to defend the city. Shou.

Although the city wall of Chang'an is tall, it was burned by Li Jue. In addition, many refugees and bandits searched for useful things in the ruins of the city, lifting bricks and moving wood, so it was very dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. It was extremely difficult to repair it in a short time.

But precisely because of this, Xu Huang's 20,000 men were surrounded by Liu Bei in the north and Lu Bu in the south, obviously putting themselves in danger.

July 9
Liu Bei, who had been attacking for more than ten days, still failed to capture the Wei Bridge occupied by Xu Huang. At this moment, the scouts came to report, and Cao Cao arrived with an army of 60,000.

Having no choice but to do nothing, Liu Bei had no choice but to order a retreat and set up camp twenty miles north of Wei Bridge. Lu Bu's army also retreated to Baling to defend.

July
Cao Cao camped tens of miles between Weiqiao and Baling. He had 60,000 troops and the camps stretched for more than ten miles. If there were high-strength stone bricks to protect the body, it would be comparable to a new Chang'an.

July

The two armies faced each other for several days, with many fierce battles, with each other winning or losing, and neither one could do anything to the other.

Just when Liu Bei and Cao Cao thought that the battle might be over, something suddenly changed. They received the battle report from Tongguan on the same day.

Zhang Fei fell into the trap and was defeated by Han Hao, the defender of Tongguan. He was seriously injured. Zhang Fei's cavalry of 5,000 men attacked, but not a single one was left alive.

In addition, Zhang Fei's generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da led more than a thousand cavalrymen to Chang'an to join Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and promoted Han Hao, the commander-in-chief of Tongguan, to the rank of General Jianwei and Protector of the Outer Army. He named him Long Live Pavilion Marquis in recognition of his merits. Han Hao defeated Zhang Fei with 30000 men and severely injured Zhang Fei. The military exploits of Cao Cao were reported to all the armies, and the morale of Cao's army increased greatly.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, was furious. Seeing his sworn brother lying on the bed with little air coming in and a lot of air coming out, covered in blood, Liu Bei shed tears on the spot and demanded that Zhang Fei must be saved no matter what the cost.

The military doctors were constantly coming in and out, and the ground outside the military tent was dyed red with the blood spilled in basins.

After several days of rescue efforts by more than a dozen highly skilled military doctors, Zhang Fei was finally rescued.

"General Zhang suffered multiple wounds on his body, including injuries to his heart. From now on, he may no longer be able to bend a bow and sword, mount a horse with a sword, or walk for a long time. Otherwise, his condition will worsen at best, and his life will be in danger at worst."

Liu Bei thanked the doctors repeatedly and asked people to give these doctors heavy rewards.

The leading elderly doctor waved his hand and refused: "There is no need for a large reward. If the king is so interested, please allocate more funds to our Yecheng Medical Hospital so that we can purchase some medicinal materials to treat the poor people."

Most of these doctors came from the doctors' palaces of the Bai Kingdom. After Liu Bei went to the Bai Kingdom to marry the Bai family, he saw why the Bai Kingdom's five thousand battalions were so elite. His generals said that military doctors were the key.

Because of the existence of the Doctor's Mansion, there are doctors everywhere in the Bai Kingdom. Anyone who is a scholar knows a little bit of medical knowledge. There are hundreds of military doctors in the five thousand battalions, several of whom are doctors who specialize in external trauma.

Just when he was leaving, he shamelessly asked King Bai for a doctor. One of them, dozens of good doctors, and hundreds of ordinary doctors, were all on their way back to Yedu.

In addition, these doctors set up a medical hospital in Yedu, imitating the Bai Kingdom's medical doctor's office, as an official medical clinic and also Liu Bei's imperial doctor.

And this old man was the doctor he asked for at that time. Although he was not as good as Hua Tuo, he was still superb.

At this time, Liu Bei also sighed countless times, fortunately he lost his face at that time, otherwise he would have lost his third brother now.

After visiting Zhang Fei, who had been in a coma, Liu Bei, who had not slept for several days, left the military tent and carefully closed the door curtain to prevent the cold wind from entering.

He said to Zhang Bao, who was also injured on the side: "It's lucky to have you this time, otherwise your father would be in danger. You have great achievements, wait until I become a teacher."

Now that your father is seriously ill and it is inconvenient to recuperate in the military camp, I can send someone to find a carriage covered with layers of brocade and silk to take your father back to Yecheng to recuperate. "

Zhang Bao wiped the tears from his eyes and saluted Liu Bei: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bei quickly stepped forward to help him up, and said intimately: "Your father is my sworn brother, just like my right hand. There may be many defeated troops on this road. Be careful, try to go as slowly as possible on the road, don't go bumpy, and make more stops."

Now your father cannot stand any fatigue. "

Then someone gave Zhang Bao five hundred fine cavalry and asked him to protect Zhang Feidong when he returned to Yedu.

Looking at the retreating team, Liu Bei fell into infinite sadness.
