The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260

But he said that Gan Ning led the victorious soldiers down the river.Not far from Baidi City, he suddenly saw a mountain facing the river in front of him, a burst of murderous aura rose to the sky, it seemed that hundreds of thousands of troops were ambushing there.He hurriedly stopped the boat and sent a small boat to sentry.The spies came back and reported seeing nothing.At this time, the sun was slanting to the west, and the murderous aura was getting heavier, Gan Ning was terrified.If there really was an ambush, Zhang He's army would be wiped out.They sent people to visit again, and the people who came back reported that there were only eighty or ninety piles of rocks by the river, and there were no horses.Gan Ning thought, there must be an ambush here, but the spies didn't find it.But the military situation is urgent, and there is no time to observe it carefully.So he wrote a letter and sent it back to the base camp to King Jin.I want Zhang Xi's army to suspend the attack.

After I got the letter, I immediately understood - the eight diagrams.It was Zhuge Liang's mystery.Those eighty or ninety piles of stones are eight formations.I heard about this thing a long time ago, but I didn't believe it was so magical, but now I believe it.Immediately repair a book and send it to Zhang He.Tell him how to break the formation.

In fact, it is too easy to break the eight formations.Lu Xun was so stupid that he was confused.How can this kind of evil art trap me.I asked Zhang Xi to find a dozen or twenty black dogs on the spot, kill them and take their blood.Bring it in the army, if it reaches the position of the eight formations, spray it with dog blood.After spraying, tell the soldiers to move the broken stones away, isn't it over?The living are also suffocated by urine.

Guo Jia wrote back to me and said, "No, I understand that stuff too, so I can't help it."

Zhang He's army had already passed Kui Pass.Because they were not very familiar with the terrain, they sent the Shu army to descend. Zhan Yan, Chen Feng, Deng Fu, and Guo Mu divided into four vanguards and marched along the four mountain roads.Zhan Yan was on his way into the army when he happened to meet that the mountain people near Baidi City rebelled against Cao Cao.The two leaders, one named Wen Bu and the other named Deng Kai, said they were willing to surrender to King Jin.Zhan Yan didn't dare to call the shots, fearing that he was a spy, so he asked someone to report to Zhang Xi, but Zhang Yun didn't dare to call the shots.Guo Jia said with a smile: "Take it, these two people are not spies, they are really surrendering." Zhang Yun said: "Why are you so sure?" Is that right?" Zhang He smiled wryly and said, "You are still as careful as a hair." Baidi City is within eighty miles of the army after leaving Kui Pass.Xu Chu and Cao Ren had already set up two camps outside the city to block the way of the army.Zhang He set up camp fifteen miles away.Send Zhuoying and Chen Feng to fight.After a while, news came back that Chen Feng and Xu Chu fought for two rounds, and Xu Chu cut him off his horse.Xu Chu led his troops to charge, Zhuo Ying was defeated and returned.

Zhang Xi was overwhelmed when he heard that, except for him and Guo Yuan, there was no one else in the army who could compete with Xu Chu.Although there are many Shu generals, there are too few outstanding martial arts.Zhang He sent generals Chen Shi and Li Yan to fight.

It was not easy for Xu Chu to win this time.However, Chen Shi and Li Yan still came back in disgrace.Worried, Zhang Song came in from the outside.Zhang Song covered his face and said: "General Zhang is standing still here, is it because he expects the thunder to kill Cao thief?" Zhang Yun rolled his eyes: "What can I do, there is no general in the army, no one is Xu Chu's opponent." Zhang Song smiled. Said: "I'm here for this?" Zhang He was startled: "Could it be that Mister is going to fight? This, this is not possible?" Isn't that giving Cao Cao a head for nothing, eating too much?

Zhang Song shook his head and waved his hands again: "Misunderstanding, I want to recommend someone." Zhang Yun said in his heart, there are no powerful people in Sichuan, who do you recommend? "Who?"

Zhang Song said: "How come General Zhang forgot, isn't Zhang Liao in the army?" Zhang Yun thought right, when Liu Zhang surrendered, Zhang Liao happened to be the Left General in Chengdu.This time, he was probably tired from running, so he surrendered.However, King Jin forgot about him at the time, and didn't pay much attention when he was called.It wasn't until Zhang He went out to fight and ordered troops in Chengdu that he saw Zhang Liao's name on the roster.It stands to reason that Zhang Wenyuan is now General Yuan.Zhang He slapped his thigh: "Please, please come quickly——slowly—slowly. No, he is an old general of Cao Cao. If he meets Cao Cao and wants to surrender again, he should How to do?"

Zhang Song smiled and stretched out five fingers: "Don't worry, Zhang Wenyuan is no longer the Zhang Wenyuan before. A phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken. He has surrendered four or five times. It's a shameless person, and it's impossible to replace him like this endlessly. Moreover, a good horse won't turn back. It's impossible for him to surrender."

Zhang He nodded and said, "Okay—" he shouted outside, "Send Zhang Wenyuan to answer."

Zhang Liao felt uncomfortable, the feeling of being bullied around made him want to commit suicide.In the past, he used to sit high in the military tent and send others to ask questions.I didn't expect to come to this field today.

As soon as the curtain was raised, Zhang Liao walked in, listless and weak: "General Zhang, what is the important thing for you to find the last general?" Zhang He knew Zhang Liao's ability and admired him very much, so he got up quickly and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan Please sit down, please sit down. I have something important to discuss with you."

Zhang Liao thought to himself, discuss important matters with me, you are flattering me too much, I, Zhang Liao, are basically idlers in the army now.Mixed with the sappers every day.Come to me to discuss important matters, just kidding.

"Wen Yuan, have you ever heard that Xu Chu killed Chen Feng and defeated Li Yan in front of the battle?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "I heard."

Zhang He laughed and said, "Tomorrow I want Wen Yuan to fight and defeat Xu Chu. I wonder if Wen Yuan is willing?"Let you go, you go.

Zhang Liao was electrified all over his body, and his eyes widened: "Let me go? Really let me go?" Zhang He sighed and said, "Although our army is large, there are very few who can defeat Xu Chu. I think about it. , only Wenyuan is suitable." Zhang Liao stood up and sat down again: "Aren't you afraid that I will surrender to Cao Cao?" Zhang Yun said: "No, Wenyuan is loyal and not a villain."

Zhang Liao was silent for a while: "I may not be Xu Chu's opponent." Zhang Yun said with a smile: "Cao Ying lacks generals, and Xu Chu has no helpers. I will ask Guo Yuan and Li Yan to go with you. It is a great achievement for the three of you to defeat Xu Chu." One piece. I will ask King Jin to reward you."

Zhang Liao didn't care about rewards, he just wanted to get his dignity back, and he cupped his hands: "Don't worry, general, Zhang Liao will behead Xu Chu tomorrow." This bragging is a bit big, Zhang Yun laughed it off, as long as Xu Chu was beaten away, there was no excessive demand .

Zhang Liao didn't think so in his heart.When he walked out of the handsome tent, he gritted his teeth.Over the past few years, I have been living in exile, living under the fence, and being treated coldly, and my heart has been completely chilled.Rejuvenation, just tomorrow.

Xu Chu thought it was Zhang Yun who would fight in person today.Unexpectedly, Zhang Yun was quite airy, so he just didn't show up.From far away, three generals, with tens of thousands of cavalry, came out of Yuan Jun's camp.Xu Chu wondered why the leader looked a bit like Zhang Liao?Look carefully, but who is not Zhang Liao?
Zhang Liao is rather aloof. When he was in Xuchang, basically all the generals had a normal relationship with him.Not to mention Xu Chu, who was several times more crazy than Zhang Liao.The two used to look down on each other, tearing each other down and attacking each other.When Xu Chu saw that Zhang Liao had surrendered to Yuan Jun, he felt so contemptuous!Forget it.Xin said, you Zhang Liao used to act like a dog in front of Lao Tzu, but when you turned around, you became a traitor.Why didn't I realize that you are such a thing?

"Yo! Yo! Yo, isn't this the invincible general Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan? Why, he surrendered to Yuan Xi. I said, how does it feel to be a seller for glory? How much benefit did Yuan Xi's bastard give you to betray Prime Minister Cao? ——" The two have been arguing for so many years, but Xu Chu has never taken advantage of it. This is good, Zhang Liao drooped his head and was speechless.He could be elated and talk endlessly.Zhang Liao brought up everything from sellers seeking glory, spineless, traitorous sons of bitches, and shameless vulgarities.Zhang Liao didn't say a word, and the veins on his right arm holding the big knife were exposed, and he tightened his grip more and more.The muscles of the whole body were tense like a rock, and the spirit was highly concentrated, and the image of chopping off Xu Chu's head with a big knife flashed in his mind over and over again.He designed all the angles.Finally made up his mind, shook the rein of the horse, and rushed out.

Although Xu Chu scolded the shrew, he knew Zhang Liao's skills.Beware of his sudden attack.With a loud shout, he raised his knife and rushed over. "When" heavy weapons intersect.The shock made the eardrums of the soldiers on both sides ache.Zhang Liao took a step back and Xu Chu shook.Compete with each other.Zhang Liao would not give up just because he failed one move. The two horses circling, lying on the saddle suddenly, swung the knife across, and danced a 180-degree white light while lying flat.He wanted to cut off Xu Chu's lazy waist.This is a powerful killer move that he has practiced in recent years. It is extremely lethal and terrifying.Fortunately for Xu Chu, if it were someone else, he would surely die.At the moment when Zhang Liao's sword and the armor around Xu Chu's waist sparked, Xu Chu turned over and fell off his horse, falling to the ground.Don't wait for Zhang Liao to chop.Without further ado, Zhang Liao cut off one of Zhang Liao's horse's legs with a broadsword.The war horse screamed and fell down, Zhang Liao rolled to the ground.Xu Chu slashed at the front door with his sword.Zhang Liao rolled over like a lazy donkey and rolled to the side. Xu Chu chased after him with a big stride, chased one step, and slashed.Five times in a row, Zhang Liao was about to die.Li Yan straightened the bowstring and shot an arrow.Xu Chu instinctively dodged when he heard the sound of the bowstring.Zhang Liao took the opportunity to stand up.Guo Yuan pulled a war horse from his side, and winked at Li Yan: "Come on, let's end Xu Chu together." The two rushed out together.Guo Yuan held the horse in his left hand, and threw the reins to Zhang Liao.Turn around and kill Xu Chu.Seeing that Xu Chu didn't like it, he ran fast and jumped onto the horse's back ten steps away.Zhen Sheng laughed wildly: "Come up together, I will kill you one by one." Zhang Liao, Li Yan, and Guo Yuan were also quite obedient, and they went up together as expected.

Zhang Liao and Guo Yuan's two big knives, one for the neck and the other for the heart, cut at the same time.Li Yan went around behind Xu Chu, and stabbed straight into the back of the heart with his spear.

Xu Chu changed his moves very quickly, leaned over on his horse, and avoided Li Yan's fatal shot.Taking advantage of the situation, he used the handle of the knife to poke Guo Yuan's lower abdomen on the right side. Guo Yuan screamed and almost fell off his horse.Xu Chu withdrew his sword and slashed at Zhang Liao's left chest from bottom to top.If it is cut at this time, the shoulder strap is designated to be slanted, and it becomes two halves.Zhang Liao's broadsword slashed towards Xu Chu's neck, halfway through, with no deviation in angle, Xu Chu's swarthy neck between his armor and helmet was covered by the blade's light.If things go on like this, they will definitely end up together.

Xu Chu had no choice but to face the attacks of the three masters, he took the fastest and most effective countermeasure.According to common sense, at this time, Zhang Liao must withdraw his moves and change his moves.But the Zhang Liao of today is no longer the Zhang Liao of the past.He became decadent, disheartened, saw through the cruelty of the world, and hated all kinds of things in the world.One by one, the face of the villain dangled in front of his eyes, making him feel that being a beast is much better than being a human.Before I die, I want you to know that I, Zhang Liao, am an upright and fearless man.

Zhang Liao didn't dodge at all.Xu Chu was frightened out of his wits.Sure enough, as the saying goes, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.At the last moment, Xu Chu couldn't withstand the pressure, he was defeated by Zhang Liao's relentless belief in begging for death, he wanted to survive.The broadsword deflected violently, trying to save himself.

Before it was too late, I heard two popping sounds at the same time.

Xu Chu had heard this kind of voice countless times in his life.Every time he heard it, the opponent's blood would spurt from his neck, and if he didn't do it, he would spray it on his face.That was the moment when he felt the most comfortable and comfortable.But this time, he couldn't feel comfortable, nor could he feel comfortable. He knew clearly that the crisp sound came from his neck.The thick bone connecting the head was chopped off by Zhang Liao's brave sword.The head flew into the air like a rubber ball and fell to the ground.The moment he landed, Xu Chu seemed to see that half of Zhang Liao's body also flew into the sky.Falling with his head—

One of Zhang Liao's left arms, together with his shoulder, was torn off by Xu Chu's big knife—then his eyes went dark, and he fell down on the horse's back——

"Kill—" Guo rescued Zhang Liao, shouted, and Yuan Jun's brigade rushed over.Cao Jun was defeated.

"What? Xu Chu is dead—how is this possible? Who can kill Xu Chu?" Cao Ren gasped, then roared.

"Yes, Zhang Liao, I heard that he himself was also seriously injured and was in danger." "It's bad, I only have five thousand soldiers and horses, and I can guard and wish Xu Chu's death only by being horns with Xu Chu and echoing each other—"

Marching Sima Huanjie broke in from outside the tent and said loudly: "General, Yuan Jun has arrived, meet the enemy quickly." Cao Ren fell to the ground and said, "Come so fast, come quickly, meet the enemy." wore.He raised his sword and rushed out of the gate of the village.Yuan Jun's shout of killing could be faintly heard, probably within five miles.He randomly led a horse, got on the horse's back, and was about to rush out.Huan Jie rushed up and pulled the rein of the horse: "General, don't be arrogant, let's retreat."

Cao Ren smiled wryly and said, "Thanks to my brother Cao Cao's great kindness, I am rich today. If my brother is in trouble, how can I run away? If I retreat, Zhang Yun will definitely send his army straight to Baidi City. There are only 30 remnants in the city. If you resist [-] people After I swear to the death, you can go back quickly and persuade the prime minister to retreat to Ziguihui and Sima Yi. By the way, Zhuge Liang once said that he left the eight formations by the river to let the prime minister pass through this place in times of crisis. The prime minister knows How to break the map, if you pass by, you will escape and ascend to heaven."

Huan Jie cried: "General——" Cao Ren slapped Huan Jie's face with a horsewhip: "It's not proper to cry and cry. It's a great honor for a man to die on the battlefield. Don't be afraid. Drive—" Clamping his legs With the belly of the horse, he rushed out with five thousand soldiers and horses.

Huan Jie withdrew two or three hundred soldiers, left Houzhai, and reported to Cao Cao.
