Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 495 The Shouchun Controversy
"Boom." Just as Ji Ling beheaded Wei Zhongdao and stabilized the morale of the army, he heard the deafening sound of horseshoes in the distance. Where the smoke and dust billowed, a group of troops had already killed them. There was only one person in front, with a red face and long beard. , dressed in a dark green robe, with a Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, rushed towards this side.

"Sir, please keep an eye on Yuan Shu here. I'll go to the front and have a look." Seeing someone killing him, Ji Ling hurriedly arranged for Cui Zhen to control Yuan Shu, and led his troops to the front of the formation.

"Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's power is gone, and Shouchun will be owned by my brother. If you don't surrender immediately, when will you wait?" Guan Yu rushed to the front of the battle, saw Ji Ling fighting, and shouted loudly.Knowing that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu successively led troops into the boundary of Yangzhou, Liu Bei knew that Lu Bu's purpose of coming here was to snatch the fruits of victory and occupy Yangzhou, so he brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei here non-stop, just in time to meet Yuan Shu fleeing , Ji Ling rebelled, how could such a good opportunity be missed.

"Hehe, it turned out to be General Guan Yu, but it's unfortunate that you came. A certain family has already decided to serve the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister's troops will arrive soon. I also ask General Guan Yu to retreat and set up camp, so as not to hurt the peace of the two armies." Hearing Guan Yu Ji Ling laughed out loud. Ji Ling knew that Liu Bei was following Lu Bu's order to conquer Yuan Shu, and now he surrendered to Lu Bu, and Liu Bei and the others could be regarded as his own, so he was not worried that Guan Yu would do anything wrong. things to come.

"So that's how it is." Hearing Ji Ling's words, Guan Yu was startled and angry. Could it be that he was a step too late, and could only watch Lu Bu occupy Yangzhou and control Yuan Shu's old department dryly?Guan Yu is really not reconciled, but in the face of such a situation, what can he do even if he is not reconciled?Fall out with Lu Bu?With such consequences, Guan Yu did not dare to make decisions without discussing with Liu Bei.

"Hmph, you bastard, dare to speak wild words. We are ordered by the court to punish the traitors. How can we stop just because you say a word? You said you have already surrendered to the Prime Minister, so take out the generals of the Prime Minister!" Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.” Guan Yu was still hesitating, but he heard a loud voice behind him, and saw a person behind him galloping out. This person was defeated and held a double-strand sword, but it was Guan Yu’s elder brother Liu Bei. It is also.

"You bastard, how dare you lie to me. I almost fell for you. The thief took his life." Hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu immediately understood what Liu Bei meant. Killing Ji Ling to incorporate Yuan Shu's army and control Shouchun City, as long as he can act quickly enough, even if Lu Bu comes, the deal is done, so what can Lu Bu do?Having figured this out, Guan Yu no longer hesitated, and rode out on his horse, fighting with Ji Ling.

"Guan Yu, you are doing this to disobey the prime minister's order. Are you trying to rebel?" Seeing Guan Yu slashing at him, Ji Ling quickly raised the three-pointed two-edged knife to block it, and then said viciously.

"Bewitching words to confuse the crowd, eat me again." Guan Yu was willing to let go, but another attack came. One knife, but still couldn't take Ji Ling down.

"Hmph, let's stop here for today's battle. Everything will be resolved when the Prime Minister arrives." Seeing himself being slowly restrained by Guan Yu and gaining the upper hand, Ji Ling was unwilling to continue fighting with Guan Yu, just thinking about it When Lu Bu came, it would be a great achievement for him to dedicate Yuan Shu and Shouchun City to Lu Bu.

"Don't go, thief, look at my Zhangba Snake Spear." Ji Ling was about to leave at this moment, and one of the people in the oblique stab came out, with the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand flexibly winding, and the attack trembled like waves, moving towards Ji Ling wave by wave. The attack came.This person is none other than Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei.

"Bold, how dare you sneak up on me. If the Prime Minister finds out, he will definitely tear you to pieces." At first, Ji Ling heard that Liu Bei didn't believe his words, but Ji Ling thought that Liu Bei was cautious and didn't trust others easily, as long as he waited for Lu Bu to arrive , the misunderstanding between the two families can be resolved. Who would have thought that Zhang Fei would suddenly attack him violently? Only then did Ji Ling finally understand that Liu Guanzhang wanted his own life, but at this time Ji Ling wanted to resist Zhang Fei again. It was too late for Fei's sneak attack.I saw Ji Ling's trident trembling, just caught the two spears stabbed by Zhang Fei, and after hearing two "puff puffs", Ji Ling saw that there were still two blood holes on his chest, bright red blood Flowing out from these two blood holes, gradually diluting the clever life.

"Puff puff puff puff." Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear kept shaking, and several blood holes appeared on Ji Ling's body. Immediately after Ji Ling raised his head to the sky and screamed, he staggered and fell under the horse, his body gradually cold.

"Hmph, you should have been rewarded long ago for letting you help the evildoers." Seeing Ji Ling lying on the ground, Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

"Brothers, follow me to kill the traitors and capture Shouchun City." Seeing Ji Ling's death, Yuan Shu's army was in chaos, Liu Bei roared, and the sound of killing followed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came from both sides of Liu Bei respectively. Slashed out and rushed towards Yuan Shujun's formation.

Before Ji Ling rebelled, he first killed Wei Zhongdao and then hijacked Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shu's army's morale fluctuate. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang led the team in such a charge, but they were smashed to pieces. The originally huge army collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers fled. Yuan Shu's gains from collecting people's fat and anointment for many years were swept away by the rebel army in a short time.

"Brother, Yuan Shu's army and horses are too tough to fight. How come they were defeated so quickly?" Seeing that his side was just an impact, Yuan Shu's army was completely defeated, and the rest of the soldiers and horses fled without using their own efforts. Some were dumbfounded, and said to Liu Bei with a chuckle.

"Yuan Shu is extravagant, promiscuous, and disliked by the people. At this time, he lost a lot. Naturally, no one is willing to continue to work for him. He can only end up with a tragic ending of defeat. But these are not important to us. What we have to do is to take Shouchun City, surrender Yuan Shu's troops, and then annex Yangzhou, even if Lu Bu comes, there is nothing we can do about it." After Liu Bei rode forward, the soldiers pointed directly at Shouchun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei two The people caught up afterwards, and a group of people went straight to Shouchun.

Liu Bei rushed all the way, and when he arrived outside Shouchun City, he saw a group of soldiers escorting Yuan Shu's carriage just into the city, and then the gate of Shouchun City was closed tightly, blocking Liu Bei and others from the city gate.

Where is Yuan Shu?If you want to survive, you should go out of the city and surrender. Do you want our army to rush into the city and drive you all to death? " Seeing such a scene, Zhang Fei first rode out on his horse and shouted loudly towards the top of the tower.

"Hahaha, General Zhang Fei, I'm afraid you came too late, I have already occupied this Shouchun city." At this moment, someone shouted loudly from above the tower, and then a figure appeared on the Shouchun tower However, this person, Liu, Guan and Zhang, all knew each other. This person was none other than Zhang Liao, the Lv Bu army general who killed all the way from Yanzhou.

"Why should the general be polite to them, we might as well go out and kill him alone." At this moment, another person appeared behind Zhang Liao, and this person was Hua Xiong who had been by Zhang Liao's side all along.

It turned out that after Cui Zhen gained Ji Ling's trust, he deployed people everywhere in Shouchun City to welcome the arrival of Lu Bu's army at any time. When Liu Guanzhang killed Ji Ling, Zhang Liao's troops arrived at Shouchun City and quickly took control of Shouchun City. This is why Cui Zhen led Yuan Shu all the way back to Shouchun City.

"General Hua Xiong, don't be impatient. Liu Guanzhang is a hero in the world. If we attack rashly, we are not sure of victory. It is better to firmly control Shouchun City. When the Prime Minister arrives, it will be a great achievement." Zhang Liao Shaking his head, he did not agree with Hua Xiong's suggestion.

Looking at the three of Liu, Guan and Zhang outside the city, Hua Xiong's eyes fluctuated, and he walked away silently for a while. Although Hua Xiong really wanted to find Guan Yu's bad luck and avenge that day, but after weighing it up and down, he did not It is not sure that he can win, not to mention that Guan Yu has a more powerful Zhang Fei beside him.

"Brother, our army killed Ji Ling, and the morale is high, so it is better to attack the city immediately." Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong on the top of the city, and suggested to Liu Bei beside him.

"Third brother, don't panic, Zhang Liao is extraordinary, let me talk to him and see if he can be persuaded." Liu Bei hadn't answered yet, but Guan Yu stepped forward to stop him.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhang Liao, who dared to face the top of the tower, clasped his fists and said: "General Zhang Liao, although you and I are our own masters, but Guan admires the general's character very much. He knows that the general is a loyal man. Now that Lu Bu is in power, General, why don't you abandon the dark and turn to the bright, follow my brother, and do your best for His Majesty and the Han Dynasty?"

"General Guan, you are also someone Zhang Liao admires. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been constant disputes in the world, and the people have suffered unspeakably. It was not until the birth of General Lu Bu, who frightened the heroes with his peerless force, that the Han Dynasty came into its present state. If you see that the world has just become unified, and the people have just seen the dawn of peace, why should the general insist on going his own way, and lead the world back to the abyss of division and war for the sake of irrelevant fame. The general might as well assist the prime minister with me. Let’s work together to benefit the people of the world, what do you think the general will do?” Guan Yu spoke of Zhang Liao’s righteousness and loyalty, and wanted Zhang Liao to surrender to Liu Bei, but Zhang Liao used the welfare of the people of the world to speak of Guan Yu. Said it was a complete tie.

"Second brother and third brother, since Shouchun has been taken by Lu Bu, let's go." Now that Yuan Shu has been captured by Cui Zhen and taken to Shouchun, Shouchun City has also been taken by Zhang Liao. The sense of crisis suddenly became much stronger, so he could only turn around and leave, and set up defenses first, preparing for Lu Bu's possible attack.
