"Big brother!" When Zang Hong addressed Zang Ba as big brother, even Guan Yu himself felt a little confused. There were so many coincidences in this world. No one would have thought that Zang Hong and Zang Ba were actually brothers. Only after hearing Zang Hong's explanation did Zhang Fei and the others understand the reason for this. It turned out that in the early years, Zang Ba had become a deputy general under Zhang Ji in order to find a way out. After a few years, he had wanted to return to Shandong to find his brother Zang Hong to do something together. However, he did not expect that Dong Zhuo and the princes of the east of the country had started a war at this time. Since they wanted to fight, they naturally did not go back. This had been going on for five or six years. Zhang Fei thought about it and could not help but laugh. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun saw Zhang Fei laughing and asked doubtfully,"Why are you laughing, brother?"
"If it wasn't for Yun Chang's heroic heart, if Xiaowu had taken down Eternal Peace City, wouldn't he have gone on a killing spree? I'm afraid these two brothers would never have seen each other again.”Although Zhang Fei was joking, he did not expect Zang Ba to be scared. If Guan Yu had not been a hero with a heroic heart, he would have died in the hands of Zhang Xiaowu, and it would have been a very ugly death. Thinking of this, Zang Hong and Zang Ba thanked Guan Yu for sparing his life. Guan Yu, on the other hand, kept waving his hands in embarrassment. On the other hand, Zhang Ji's face darkened when he saw Zhang Fei talking about him again. He could not say anything for a long time, and his brothers were secretly amused. He thought to himself that Zhang Fei was the only one who could cure the fifth son of the Zhang family. If it was anyone else, they would probably have no way out if they did not talk to him for a while.
"After we settle Zang Ba's men, we will ask Yuan Shao to send troops. Now that the Guandong army has the advantage, we should take Dong Zhuo down and welcome the Emperor back to Luoyang!”Zhao Yun said to Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei heard this, he only nodded. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his solemn face.
"If that's the case, that's good." Zhang Fei sighed.
"Why do you say that, brother?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.
"There are only two reasons why Yuan Shao returned to his old nest. One is that Gongsun Zan has returned, and the other is that the Imperial Court has conferred a prefect to him, giving him a great opportunity to expand his strength. If we don't win, perhaps he'll hold a mocking mentality and fight one or two rounds for us to see. If we win, he doesn't want me to become big. At this moment, he wants to go back to his hometown and think of a way to get rid of me, this big trouble in his heart!”Zhang Fei raised a hand and said," I'm completely disappointed in these Guandong dukes. Other than a few of Cao Cao, they're all masters who have little experience. This time, the dukes have returned to their hometown one after another. It's difficult to get them to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo!”
"Although our army is brave! However, with too few people, they wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. Without the help of the dukes, it would be very difficult to take down Dong Zhuo!”Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said.
"If I'm not wrong! "If we take down the Western Liang Army, we'll have at least 100,000 troops, and they'll all be soldiers of the same standard as our army!”Zhang Feng said. After hearing such a comment, everyone else became silent.
"The Imperial Court and the dukes will never agree to let us raise so many soldiers.”Zhang Ping also said," Now that there's a sudden war, the imperial court and all the vassals in the world want to protect themselves first before plotting something big. Unless there's a reason to expand their forces!”
"Hehehehe!" Zhang Fei laughed softly, and everyone was puzzled again." Reason? What a coincidence, I happen to have one here!”
"Hmm?" Everyone could not help but look at Zhang Fei, who was still smiling proudly.
"Attack the eastern Xianbei! I wonder if this reason is sufficient!”Zhang Fei smiled and looked around at the generals. They were stunned at first, then laughed out loud.
"It's just that…this way, the crusade against Dong Zhuo will have to be delayed.”Zhao Yun said worriedly,"As the saying goes: To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the interior…"
"To hell with resisting foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the interior! No matter how we fight against Western Liang, it's still the Han Dynasty fighting against the Han Dynasty! If the Xianbei in the east were not eradicated! It will definitely be a great disaster in the future!" Zhang Fei interrupted Zhao Yun's words and then looked at everyone sternly."Listen up! Anything could be forced, but as long as it came to national and national issues, any important matter had to be sidelined! The interests of the nation were above everything else! Do you remember it?" Zhang Fei shouted.
"Yes, sir!" Everyone stopped smiling and replied seriously. Zhang Fei saw that everyone understood, and then he stopped looking at Zang Ba with a murderous look. However, Zhang Fei's words had given Zang Ba quite a fright. He had always known that Zhang Fei was unusually brave, but he did not expect that just a shout like that would scare him so much that he did not dare to think about anything. Fortunately, Zhang Fei was not a cruel leader. Otherwise, if he were to work under such a powerful person, he would probably be trembling in fear for nine out of ten days.
"Big brother!" Zhao Yun suddenly bowed to Zhang Fei. Seeing that he had something to say, Zhang Fei said,"Just tell me what it is!"
"I want to fight Lu Bu!" Zhao Yun said with a sharp gaze. Her words were sonorous and forceful. Guan Yu was also shocked. He looked at Zhang Fei to see what he would say.
"What a coincidence! I also heard that he is very powerful!" Zhang Fei said to Zhao Yun with a smile.
"He is mine!" Zhao Yun said anxiously, her eyes filled with anxiety and fanaticism. Zhang Fei smiled and said, He had to have such a gaze! One day, one day, you will realize that you will surpass the current you and me, but you have to remember one thing, that is, good opponents are meant to be respected and surpassed, understand?”
"Thank you for your guidance, elder brother!" Seeing that Zhang Fei had no intention of competing with him, Zhao Yun smiled. Guan Yu gently placed his hand on his beautiful beard and smiled without saying a word. He understood that once his third brother started to seriously examine him, it would be very easy for him to surpass his current strength.
As expected, when Cao Cao told Yuan Shao about the invasion of Chang 'an, Yuan Shao was obviously unhappy. He kept talking about other things and did not mention the matter of the west. Cao Cao was anxious and wanted to ask Zhang Fei for help, but he did not think that it would be better if he did not mention Zhang Fei. When he mentioned Zhang Fei, Yuan Shao said directly,"I'm the alliance leader! If he couldn't give the order, what was the use of being the alliance leader? Although our army has won a few battles, the Western Liang army has already stabilized their formation. Even if Ma Teng rushes his troops here, it will be too late. I have already sent a letter to Ma Teng the day before yesterday, telling him not to come. I think he has already returned to the army.”Yuan Shao's words almost made Cao Cao lose his temper. He really didn't expect Yuan Shao to be such a decisive person. Disappointed, Cao Cao bid farewell to Yuan Shao and Zhang Fei and headed west. Seeing that Cao Cao was about to do something stupid, Zhang Fei immediately ordered Zhao Yun to send 2,000 cavalry to protect him. Zhang Fei knew that it was useless to persuade Cao Cao at this time, so he could only let Zhao Yun guarantee Cao Cao's safety and not care about anything else.
Cao Cao was currently in a fit of anger. He did not have any other thoughts in his mind. He led his army to the west and did not even have a destination. Zhang Fei knew that something would happen sooner or later, but he could not accompany him. He could only pray that God would let Cao Cao escape this calamity. Fortunately, Zhao Yun had 2,000 black armored cavalry in Cao Cao's army. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have been buried in another place within three days.
In the end, Yuan Shao still ordered the vassals to return to their respective nests. However, when Zhang Fei was about to return, he heard that Liu Biao and Sun Jian were fighting in Changshe. Zhang Fei was shocked and immediately asked Lu Meng to bring 5,000 troops to rescue Sun Jian. Lu Meng was also extremely worried because his uncle Huang Gai was in Sun Jian's army. It had only been a few days since they had reunited. If something happened, it would not be impossible for him to regret it. Zhang Fei also knew what Lu Meng was thinking, so he asked him to bring troops to rescue Sun Jian. Because Sun Jian's forces were pitifully few, no matter how brave Sun Jian was, Liu Biao's forces were numerous. Even if he slowly exhausted them, it would still be enough for Sun Jian to suffer. Zhang Fei also knew what Liu Biao was up to. He must have taken a fancy to the jade seal on Sun Jian's body. Although Sun Jian had denied taking the jade seal, Zhang Fei could feel that Sun Jian had indeed taken it. A person's eyes would not betray him. Sun Jian's eyes had long allowed Zhang Fei to see through the truth of the matter. However, Zhang Fei respected Sun Jian as a famous figure, so he did not want to push him too hard. There was already something strange about the jade seal. If it was a trick of the Xi Liang army, the alliance of the vassals would collapse in less than a season. Therefore, many vassals had this idea. They didn't want to argue with Sun Jian. No one wanted to fight a chaotic battle at this time, especially in front of Dong Zhuo. Of course, Liu Biao also knew that the jade seal was with Sun Jian, so in order to avoid causing big trouble in front of the vassals, he moved the battlefield to a small place like Changshe.
Lü Meng's army did not stop. They took ten days 'worth of rations and rushed to Changshe. According to the scouts, Lü Meng would arrive at the small mountain outside Changshe City where Sun Jian and Liu Biao were confronting each other in another day. This mountain was called Qilin Mountain. This name was given by Emperor Gaozu. Back then, a country in the Western Regions presented a strange beast from various countries. None of the officials knew what it was, so Emperor Gaozu himself named it Qilin. The place where the Qilin was raised was called Qilin Mountain. Later, Zhang Fei learned about it. This damn Qilin was actually a fucking gibbon!
Sun Jian and Liu Biao were currently fighting on Qilin Mountain. Relying on the advantage of the terrain, Sun Jian had already repelled several threatening attacks from Liu Biao. Han Dang had seized a rare opportunity to break out of the encirclement and run to Changsha to ask for reinforcements. However, water from afar could not put out a fire nearby. In another two days, Sun Jian's troops would run out of food and die. At this time, unless there was a divine weapon helping the heavens, Sun Jian would not be able to escape!
"My lord! Now that Liu Biao's army has surrounded this Qilin Mountain, although we have the advantage of terrain, in another day, our rations will be gone. What should we do then?”Huang Gai asked Sun Jian.
"It's impossible for Changsha's reinforcements to arrive in less than ten days. Right now, Liu Libiao can't wait to eat me. If I surrender, there will be no way out.”As he spoke, Sun Jian let out a long howl towards the sky. This long howl frightened Liu Biao, who was far away in the army. However, he calmed down and thought, Although Sun Jian was known as the Tiger of River East, he had no choice but to accept his fate!
"My lord! Look! There's a group of people coming this way!" Just as Huang Gai was feeling dejected, he saw a gust of dust in the distance. He could tell at a glance that it was a group of people rushing over. When he got closer, he could see the large character 'Lu' written on the flag. At first, Huang Gai thought it was Lu Bu's troops. In his shock, he saw that the troops rushing out of the dust were all black-armored warriors!
"Black Armored Army!" When Sun Jian saw the group of people, he actually laughed and shouted," The heavens won't kill me--" Liu Biao was extremely frightened. He really didn't expect Zhang Fei to come back with his troops. With Zhang Fei's relationship with Sun Jian, it was easy for him to think that these troops were here to help Sun Jian. Just as he was about to retreat, he saw that the leader was actually a general, a child. Moreover, there were only 5,000 soldiers behind him. Liu Biao thought," I have 20,000 troops, so why would I be afraid of your 5,000 troops?" With this thought in mind, he immediately prepared for battle.
Unexpectedly, Lu Meng came to the front and asked,""Is that Liu Zhennan?"
