The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 11
In order to reach Orange Mountain earlier, Zhang Fei and Liu Chan decided to set off at least one hour earlier.They brought out Liu Gou who had come to pass the letter, gave him something to eat, and asked him to lead the way.

This night happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. A full moon hung high in the sky, moving on the shallow clouds, and the shadows of the trees on the surrounding hillsides were dancing.

As the cold wind blows, the leaves make a slight sound, like the strings of a zither that stirs the mind of a night traveler.The moonlight is shining brightly, shining on the ground and snow, making the line of sight extend a lot.

There were 500 of them in a group, and no one was allowed to speak loudly. The horse went to the bell, and riding the moonlight was just right, so they could set off to the reserved place without lighting a torch.

Because Liu Chan was young and his riding skills were not good enough, he rode the same horse with Zhao Feng.And being wrapped in Zhao Feng's cloak, he only showed his head, and he didn't feel cold at all.

This Baling Mountain seems to be nothing from outside the mountain, but once you enter the mountain, you will know that the mountain road is difficult.The roads are all stepped out along the edge of the mountain, narrow and steep, and with snow, it is really slippery.Even generals like Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei didn't dare to sit on their horses after walking for a while, so they had to dismount and walk.

Liu Chan originally wanted Zhao Feng to hold his hand, and it was enough for everyone to walk together.Zhao Feng was fine, he handed over the horses to his subordinates, and continued to move forward with Liu Chan on his back.Liu Chan is a lazy person, but he smiled disrespectfully.

However, the armor on Zhao Feng's body was very cold, which made Liu Chan feel very uncomfortable, so he asked Zhao Feng to let him go.Zhao Feng didn't want the young master to suffer, so he took off the armor and put it on the horse, which made Liu Chan feel better.

And that Liu Gou was quite honest, I didn't see him playing any tricks on the road, he just led the way honestly, without any appearance of trickery.Fortunately, Liu Chan was afraid that he would cheat, so he specially arranged three guards with excellent martial arts skills to watch his every move closely!

After marching for half an hour, they finally came to the foot of Orange Mountain.

Looking at it under the moonlight, it is not a very high mountain.It's just that the trees on the mountain are quite dense, like a black shadow, making a soft rustling sound in the wind, and I don't know why this mountain is called Orange Mountain.Is it because the mountain is full of orange trees, or is it because the shape looks like an orange?But it's night now, so of course Liu Chan can't confirm it.

According to the previous agreement with Zhang Fei, just in case, Liu Chan could only wait at the foot of the mountain and could not go up the mountain.

However, Liu Chan still had more thoughts.He ordered someone to bring Liu Gou to the past, and solemnly warned Liu Gou that he must never tell about the ambush at the foot of the mountain.Now that Liu Gou knew Liu Chan's identity, only Nuo Nuo swore that he would not disclose any news to him until he died. Liu Chan couldn't help kicking him in the butt before agreeing to go up the mountain with Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, prided himself on being unparalleled in martial arts, and was provoked by Liao Hua before, so he deliberately brought only three guards and the Liu dog up the mountain.No matter how Liu Chan persuaded him, Zhang Fei refused to bring more troops.In the end, Liu Chan couldn't, so he had to let him go.He and the 500 people found a hidden mountain col to hide.

Not long after, there was a sound of horseshoes from the other side of the hillside. It should be that Liao Hua's people had arrived, and there were only about ten people.

In fact, the distance between the two sides is still quite far. One is on this side of the mountain and the other is on the other side of the mountain. It should be hundreds of meters away.But now that the empty mountains and forests are quiet, human voices and the sound of horseshoes can naturally be heard far away.Then I heard the sound of those people starting to climb the mountain.

Liu Chan was curious and wanted Zhao Feng to go with him to see the situation.Zhao Feng was a little reluctant.Because he was worried that if the other party found out that there was an ambush, Zhang Fei and Liao Hua might not be able to talk.

But Liu Chan brazenly told Zhao Feng to put his heart in his stomach, the two of them just sneaked past, and the others stayed here to wait for orders, so they wouldn't be discovered.

In fact, Zhao Feng was quite curious about the situation on the other side.And seeing Liu Chan's resolute expression, if he refuses again, the young master will probably run over by himself, and it will get worse.Zhao Feng had no choice but to agree to go with Liu Chan, but he still did not forget to warn Liu Chan that all actions must be obeyed by him.

Liu Chan patted his chest to reassure Zhang Fei and ensure that all actions are under command.However, Liu Chan was a big kid, so before he went out, he took off the white cloak of a guard and covered his head, and then lurked towards the opposite hillside.In this case, no trace of human beings could be seen in the snow, and Liu Chan couldn't help but feel very proud of his ingenuity.

Soon, they approached Liao Hua and his party.

Someone said: "You all stay here as guards, and I can go to see General Zhang Yide alone."

This person should be Liao Hua.Then they heard the scattered footsteps of Liao Hua's guards scattered in all directions. They should be looking for a guard position.

At this time, Zhao Feng signaled to Liu Chan that he wanted to follow Liao Hua up the mountain.However, Liu Chan grabbed Zhao Feng and told him not to be so impatient. Negotiations are usually tedious and can't be finished in a while.They should lurk there for a while first, to see if there is an ambush behind Liao Hua like them.

Zhao Feng couldn't help admiring Liu Chan's boldness and carefulness.But he was afraid that the whereabouts of the two of them would be discovered by those vigilant guards, and if the young master was in danger, then he would be to blame for death!So I don't want to get too close to the security zone of those guards.

Seeing that Zhao Feng was too cautious and seemed indecisive, Liu Chan felt a little upset.In fact, what if the other party finds out?At worst, he revealed his identity!As Liu Bei's son, negotiating with Liao Hua, a yellow scarf thief, must have a higher standard than Zhang Fei.

So, Liu Chan pulled Zhao Feng by force and searched up and down the opposite hillside, and found eleven security personnel in total.But Liu Chan was still a little confused, so he went down the mountain to the mountain pass where Liao Hua came to check, and confirmed that there was indeed no one there, so he was sure that Liao Hua was not cheating.

In fact, Liu Chan didn't know which direction Liao Hua would come from, otherwise he would have hidden his troops on the opposite hillside just now.In this way, even if the situation changes, they can rush out immediately.However, according to the current situation, this problem does not seem to be a problem anymore.

Feeling relieved after seeing the situation, Zhao Feng asked Liu Chan about his next action plan.He suddenly discovered that his young master's maturity had surpassed his own, and he was too precocious.

The two of them had been moving on the ground just now. Although their hands were wrapped with thick cloth strips to prevent frostbite, their waists were still very sore.Liu Chan stretched, then nodded and agreed to go up the mountain.

The two turned to the side of the ambushing people first, and then climbed from the hillside there, so as to avoid passing through the warning area of ​​Liao Hua's guards.

It took the two of them some time to reach the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is a very flat place, on which a small pavilion with red bricks and green tiles is built, with a pair of stone tables and chairs placed in the middle, which is also antique.

Now, at dusk and sunset, brewing a pot of tea in this small pavilion, listening to the surrounding pines, and watching the sunset in the west, it will definitely be a beautiful enjoyment.However, even on a full moon night like now, the bright moon hangs over the hills and the pines sing softly, the artistic conception is also good.

Zhang Fei and Liao Hua were both sitting in the small pavilion, the light inside the pavilion was poorer than that outside, Liu Chan couldn't tell what their expressions were.

Zhang Fei said: "General Liao, I, Zhang, believe in your sincerity. However, I really cannot agree to your request."

Liao Hua said in a dejected tone: "General Zhang must have known from the captives that the villain and Fuyun Futianyuan were both from the Yellow Turban Army. And he was the one who took me in when I was in danger. Because of these two affections, the villain pleaded for him."

Hearing what the two said up to this point, Liu Chan already knew that they had almost finished talking, and Liao Hua seemed to have gained Zhang Fei's trust.

After Zhang Fei thought about it, he said with some embarrassment: "General Liao, Zhang is a rough person. I can only say that if you and Fu Tianyuan can join us, I welcome it very much. But if someone wants to defy the destiny, I have no choice but to send him to the west!"

Hearing this, Liu Chan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Who?" Liao Hua immediately shouted nervously.

Liu Chan secretly blamed himself for not having enough concentration, so that his whereabouts were exposed.With a wry smile, he lifted the white cloak above his head, and stood up from the ground together with Zhao Feng.

Liao Hua felt very surprised when he saw a man and a boy suddenly appearing on the snowy ground, and they were so close to him.Even Zhang Fei himself was very surprised to see someone approaching him so imperceptibly without being noticed.

Liu Chan smiled and asked Zhang Fei and Liao Hua not to be surprised. They just went up the mountain, and quickly revealed to Liao Hua that they were Liu Chan and Liu Adou.

Maybe Liao Hua didn't know Liu Chan's name.But the name of Liu Adou, who is on the seven stars, has already been heard all over the world.Liao Hua was surprised at first, then pleasantly surprised, bowed and said: "The villain Liao Hua has seen the young master. I didn't know it was the young master just now, it was really a sin." His expression was very humble.

Liu Chan told Liao Hua not to be polite.Then he walked into the pavilion and said, "General Liao, when you saved my mother, Mrs. Gan, my Liu family didn't even have a chance to thank you! Come, please sit down."

Although what Liu Chan said was a polite remark, in the eyes of outsiders, it was really rare for such a remark to be uttered from the mouth of a young man.Liao Hua couldn't help being surprised by Liu Adou's precocity.

Liu Chan was afraid that Liao Hua would be apprehensive because of his appearance, so he asked Liao Hua to relax and negotiate with Zhang Fei, saying: "I came out secretly with my third uncle this time, General Liao can just negotiate, and you don't have to worry about me. "

Liao Hua nodded in agreement, and said to Zhang Fei: "The villain's request just now is really difficult. If General Zhang can forgive me, the villain will be very grateful."

Zhang Fei was silent for a long time.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Liao Hua's face, Liu Chan couldn't bear to make it too difficult for him, and said, "General Liao can plead for that Fuyun Futianyuan, but it's not impossible, but you have to tell the truth."

"What's the truth?" Liao Hua said happily.

"It is said that a group of businessmen encouraged you to attack Jingzhou officers and soldiers. Who are they?"

"It's true. However, they talked with Fu Tianyuan in secret, and even I don't know their origins." Liao Hua said.

"Since this is the case, then we must capture Fu Tianyuan this time. But General Liao, don't worry, I will hand him over to Military Adviser Zhuge. He is a kind-hearted person, and he will definitely be able to subdue Fu Tianyuan. Then, you can become colleagues again. How about that?" Liu Chan said with a smile.

Liao Hua was secretly surprised that the young man in front of him was so decisive, and there was a famous Zhang Fei beside him, so he actually made a decision by himself?However, Liao Hua knew that it was difficult for Fu Tianyuan's temperament to be inferior to others, but with a little luck, he nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fei didn't expect Liu Chan to have such good eloquence, he persuaded Liao Hua in a few words, which he spent a long time just now.I am even more satisfied with Liu Chan, the prospective son-in-law.

Then, the next thing will be easy to handle. Liao Hua told the whole story of the Baling Mountain Village, and the three began to discuss the plan to attack the Baling Mountain Village.
