Chapter 163
Wu County, North Gate.
Zhao Lei's army lined up neatly, Zhao Yun led the Yangzhou soldiers, Zhang Liao led the [-] Shi army soldiers, and the two were on the left and right sides.
Between the two, Zhao Lei rode on a horse and led the Chinese army.
At the forefront of the Chinese army formation, a huge brown-red banner stood in mid-air, and was blown by the strong wind, fluttering with the wind. On the banner, there was a black and huge "Zhao" character embroidered in it. The majestic atmosphere and majestic momentum give people a very majestic feeling at a glance.The words on the banner were written by Cai Yong himself to Zhao Lei, for the purpose of strengthening the army.
Zhao Lei was wearing golden armor, a golden helmet on his head, and a lightning sword hanging from his waist, riding on a white horse.It looks majestic and imposing.
"Block!" There was a loud and crisp metallic sound.
With a ferocious face, Zhao Lei pulled out the Lightning Sword from his waist and roared loudly to the three armies: "The army sets out to destroy Dong Zhuo!"
"Mighty! Mighty! Let's go! Let's go! Destroy Dong Zhuo! Destroy Dong Zhuo!" the soldiers shouted.
With Zhao Lei's order, the army outside the city immediately set off and marched towards the destination, Chenliu, where the princes were.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao led [-] armored soldiers as the vanguard and marched first. After a while, Zhao Lei, Zhang Han and others served as the central army, leading Gao Shun and Gao Lan who were in command of the left army, and Zhang He and Dian who were in command of the right army. Wei set off.Then Wenpin and others led the rear army and slowly followed behind. Finally, the soldiers of the grain and grass troops led by Zhou Cang were postponed to protect the food security of the army.
The dark army of [-] troops marched slowly, gradually moving away from Wu County.
At this time, the soul-stirring sound of the piano came from the tower.
After Zhao Lei heard it, he felt the melody was very familiar.He turned his head to look, and although he could only vaguely see the shadow on the tower, Zhao Lei could feel the parting emotion from the sound of the piano.That's right, it was Cai Yan, she was playing the Jiaoweiqin on the city tower, saying goodbye to Zhao Lei.
Reluctance, loneliness, anticipation, all kinds of complex emotions blend in the sound of Cai Yan's piano.
Although Zhao Lei was also very reluctant to part with Cai Yan, he could only suppress the pity in his heart, took a deep breath, and suddenly looked away, never looking at the shrinking and disappearing figures on the tower.
"Hey, Xiaolei is reluctant to part with his wife." Zhang Han said with a smile, alleviating Zhao Lei's sad mood.
Zhao Lei smiled and punched Zhang Han lightly.
……
The army set off from Wu County and arrived at Hulao Pass, and the journey was very long.
The journey is roughly like this: Zhao Lei led the army, passed through Qu'a Port, crossed the Yangtze River, arrived at Guangling County, passed through Xiapi, Langya and Peixian counties in Xuzhou, arrived at Dongping in Yanzhou, and then set off from Dongping County to Rencheng to station. Finally, head to Chenliu, the base of the alliance.
It took two months to march all the way.
The army rested for a day after arriving in Rencheng, and went to Chenliu the next day.
Cao Cao had already left a lot of food near Chenliu for the army of the princes to eat.This has supplemented the grain of Zhao Lei's army, and with his own grain and grass, this is enough for Zhao Lei's army to last for a period of time.The army continued to advance. Along the way, as the dead men sent by Wang Yue continued to send back news, Zhao Lei learned that most of the princes had arrived at Hulao Pass.
Bohai prefect Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others arrived first.
In addition, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, Kong Ni, governor of Yuzhou, and other princes had just arrived at Hulao Pass.
After walking for about half a day from Rencheng, the army finally arrived at the plain near Chenliu.
It took almost two months to go all the way, and finally we are about to reach the destination. At this time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The location of the alliance of princes was in Chenliu City, and the princes from all walks of life set up camps in the city, taking care of each other, and no one disturbed anyone.At this time, when Zhao Lei was still an hour or two away from Chenliu City, suddenly, a soldier of the former army ran up to Zhao Lei and reported: "My lord, the soldiers and horses ahead blocked the way of our army's advance. The road is blocked."
Zhao Lei frowned, he was almost at the meeting place, why would there be an army blocking the way?Could it be that someone among the princes wants to go with him?
"Zilong, follow me with the army and horses of the headquarters!" Zhao Lei waved his hand to signal the soldiers to leave, then turned around and gave Zhao Yun an order.Seeing Zhao Lei leave, Zhang Han also took the initiative to follow.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly galloped forward, while Zhao Lei and Zhao Yun galloped towards the front army.When they came to the front of the army, Zhang Liao looked dignified, leading the vanguard to confront the army blocking the road, and neither side acted rashly.
Zhao Lei stepped forward and shouted: "I am General Wei, Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou, and led the soldiers of Yangzhou to join the alliance. Which army are you, how dare you stop the army from advancing?"
"I don't care who you are, I have followed our master's order to guard this place, and no one can pass through?" The enemy general on the opposite side replied.
"May I ask who your general is?" Zhao Lei asked.
"How can my general's name tell you about such a small character?" The enemy general laughed.
"If you don't say it, get the hell out of here. A good dog won't get in the way." Zhao Lei walked for more than two months just to come to Chenliu for the League. Now that someone dares to stop him, how could Zhao Lei not angry?
"You're courting death." Hearing Zhao Lei humiliate him, the enemy bent his bow and set up an arrow to shoot towards Zhao Lei.
Just as Zhao Lei was about to draw his sword to get rid of the flying bow and arrow, he saw an arrow flying from behind also hit the arrow shot by the enemy general, and the two arrows fell to the ground at the same time.Zhao Lei turned his head and saw that Zhang Han was holding the bow with a smile. It was obvious that he had shot the arrow just now.
"Zilong, get rid of him." Zhao Lei dispatched Zhao Yun and said.
Zhao Yun slapped his horse forward and grabbed the enemy general.The two sides fought for more than ten rounds, and the enemy general was stabbed by Zhao Lei and fell off the horse, and died instantly.
Zhao Lei looked at the body lying on the ground, and sneered, "You still come to stop me with this little ability?"
Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from a distance.
"Zhao Lei, you bastard, how dare you kill my general."
Zhao Lei searched for the source of the voice, and saw a lot of people on a high ground in front of him.Not long after, he walked in front of Zhao Lei's former army.
In the opposite army formation, a middle-aged man who was wearing brocade clothes and a belt without armor but with a long sword hanging from his waist came out.The middle-aged man was young, with a wretched appearance and a short stature. At first glance, he looked like a bastard.The middle-aged man's thin lips were tightly pressed together, looking a bit cold and stern.
"Yuan Shu? Why are you here?" Zhao Lei recognized Yuan Shu, and pointed at Yuan Shu with a horsewhip in his hand.
"Zhao Lei, you bastard, why did you kill my general?" Yuan Shu said angrily without answering Zhao Lei's question.
"Whoever asked him to lead troops to stop me will die." Zhao Lei said disdainfully, as if he didn't take what happened just now to his heart.
"I don't care, you killed my General Ji Ling, how can you just say that and forget about such a big enmity?" Yuan Shu yelled at Zhao Lei angrily.
Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that it was Ji Ling who was killed by Zhao Yun.This Ji Ling actually has some martial arts skills, he can be regarded as a general of the first-middle level, but in front of Zhao Yun, his martial arts skills seem to be a little stretched.But why did Ji Lingwei block his way?Zhao Lei thought about it, and thought that this might be Yuan Shu's long-planned plan to kill himself before the alliance, but he failed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Yuan Gonglu, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? It was obviously your subordinates who stopped me first, and you deserve it if you die. I came here day and night after receiving Meng De's call. It's all right if you don't come to welcome me. How decent it is to quarrel with me here because of a subordinate! It's really a disgrace to the old Yuan family. No wonder Yuan Benchu is famous all over the world, but you are famous as the son of the Yuan family Not obvious, stupid, what big things can you do?"
"Hahaha……"
"Funny, really funny..."
The soldiers behind Zhao Lei burst into laughter after hearing Zhao Lei's words, and cooperated with Zhao Lei to mock Yuan Shu very tacitly.
"The person you killed me is still arguing with me?" Yuan Shu said angrily.In fact, what made him angry was Zhao Lei's last sentence, which had always been Yuan Shu's shortcoming.
"Are you mistaken? You are just the rear general, but I am General Wei. After all, you are also my subordinate, so the one I killed earlier was my subordinate's subordinate. Is there anything wrong?" Zhao Lei said.
"You, you." Yuan Shu's face was ashen, and he scolded: "Zhao Lei, you are too deceitful."
Zhao Lei used his official position to overwhelm Yuan Shu again, how could Yuan Shu not be angry?
"Am I wrong?" Zhao Lei laughed.
Yuan Shu's body trembled, and Zhao Lei was furious.
However, Zhao Lei continued to smile and said, "Yuan Gonglu, you are a rear general, but you are just a miscellaneous general. If you didn't have the title of the fourth generation and third father of the old Yuan family, what would you have? But you are a miscellaneous general, You don’t have the right to conquer all directions, so why send troops to stop me, the dignified general of the imperial court? Do you want to rebel? Now that you support yourself and separate yourself from one side, do you want to seek to usurp the court?” Zhao Lei asked rhetorically.
"Conspiring to usurp the dynasty?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted, "Son Zhao Lei, don't spout blood."
The four generations and three princes of the old Yuan family are all loyal officials of the Han Dynasty. If Yuan Shu is labeled as a usurper by Zhao Lei, Yuan Shu's life will not be so easy.His eyes burst into flames, and he said loudly: "I don't care, Zhao Lei, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about it or leave here."
Zhao Lei was amused in his heart, and kept staring at himself.That's why he was looking for trouble when he had nothing to do, and got into trouble with himself here.
Zhao Lei immediately refused, saying, "Yuan Gonglu, you are just my subordinate, why are you trying to stop me? I think you just want to rebel."
Yuan Shu immediately said: "Stop talking nonsense, it's useless to talk to a pariah like you, let's go to war!"
Zhao Lei raised his head and said loudly: "Fight, fight, I have nothing to fear!"
