Outside the main tent.
Two big men, one red and one black, were waiting with their spears in their hands.
In this army.
Their attitudes were completely different.
The red-faced man sat on a pile of grass, resting with his eyes closed, ignoring the patrolling soldiers.
The black-faced man looked left and right, very curious about the Mo saber in the patrolling soldier's hand. He even wanted to lean forward and observe it carefully.
The archers guarding the camp immediately aimed at him.
He felt a fatal killing intent.
"Is it necessary to tease me?"
The dark-faced man retreated resentfully, muttering so loudly that even the soldiers guarding the camp gate could hear him.
This black fellow!
"Third brother, this is an important military place.”
Liu Bei walked out with a calm expression. His eyes revealed 30% frustration, 30% loneliness, and 40% worry.
The people beside him looked over and their hearts immediately clenched. They wanted to know what had happened to this person.
"Big brother, how is it?"
The black-faced man, Zhang Fei, quickly went up to him and laughed even louder, as if he was showing off to the patrolling soldiers. He shouted,"General Lu, did you entrust big brother with an important task?”
"The transportation of rations and supplies is related to the combat strength of the three armies, so of course it's an important task!”
"What?"
Zhang Fei was furious and said,"This General Lu is Big Brother's teacher, but he doesn't know how to judge people.”
"Third brother, don't speak nonsense!"
Liu Bei was shocked and stopped him,""Before the three armies move, the rations are the key to victory. This is the test my teacher gave me!”
"My big brother is related to the imperial family and has the ambition to rise to the top. I think General Lu is deliberately making things difficult for him!”
Zhang Fei was unmoved and said,"Ask my big brother to transport the grain. I'll burn the grain and see what else you can transport!”
"Third brother, shut up!"
The red-faced man, Guan Yu, opened his eyes. A red light flashed in his eyes as he berated.
"Second brother!"
"General Lu is a veteran general on the battlefield. His actions have a deep meaning. It's not your turn to question him!”
Guan Yu slammed his Green Dragon Crescent Blade onto the ground and said calmly,""We'll listen to Big Brother!"
"I'll accept the order…"
"Big Brother, you really took on this idle matter. I won't do it!”
When Zhang Fei heard that the order had been accepted, he exploded again!
"If you don't want to do it, then leave. No one will keep you!"
Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who were gradually surrounding him and said coldly,""If the two armies disobey the order, I will definitely kill you first. Second brother, follow me!”
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, don't abandon me. It's just transporting grain. I'll do it!”
……
At the same time.
Zhu Xi's army camp.
Three horses rushed over from afar.
"Stop! If you dare to come forward again, kill without mercy!”
"Please report that Nie Yi's descendant requests an audience with the General of the Flying Cavalry!”
"Name!"
"Zhang Liao!"
"Your surname is Zhang. How can you be a descendant of the Nie family?”
"Our ancestor made a big mistake and offended Emperor Wu and the Xiongnu. In order to avoid disaster, he had no choice but to change his surname to Zhang!”
"Wait!"
The squad leader of the night watch picked up the torch and shone it in front of Zhang Liao and the others. After confirming that they were all Han Chinese, he ordered the soldiers to report.
"Feng Xian, Brother Shun 'er, we'll be able to meet General Zhu in a moment.”
Zhang Liao retreated from the camp's alert range and forced a smile. No one would feel good about the disgraceful history of their ancestors.
"Wenyuan, it's been hard on you!"
Lu Bu patted him on the shoulder. Gao Shun was not good with words, so he cupped his hands and expressed his gratitude.
Without Zhang Liao, they wouldn't even be able to get close to the camp, let alone see General Zhu Rong.
"Men, bring them in!"
When the night guard received the news, he waved his hand and ordered people to bring Zhang Liao and the other two into the camp.
Collecting weapons.
Checking his body.
After confirming that there was no threat, he covered his eyes and was led into the main tent.
"Untie it."
With a calm order, the three of them saw the light again. They immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully,"Greetings, General Zhu!"
"Get up."
"Which one of you is Nie Yi's descendant?"
Zhu Ni's tiger eyes darted around the three of them, unable to determine who was Zhang Liao. All of them were strong and powerful, and would be good candidates to become soldiers.
"General, I am!"
Zhang Liao walked forward on his knees and placed his right hand on his chest. He went straight to the point and said,"This commoner has come to beg the general to lead me to attack the Xiongnu to wash away the sins of our ancestors!”
Zhu Rong was silent.
Nie Yi.
A minister during the reign of Emperor Wu.
The famous instigator of the Battle of Mayi.
Back then, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were like fire and water. Nie Yi's familiarity with the Xiongnu and his anxiety about the endless border troubles of the Western Han Dynasty suggested sending troops through Emperor Wu's close ministers.
Hence, he decided to do it.
There was the first Han-Hun war.
However, this battle ended with a strong start but a weak end.
During the process, Nie Yi used himself as bait to pretend to surrender to the Xiongnu army minister Chanyu at that time. In order to gain the trust of the Xiongnu army minister Chanyu, he offered Liangzhou Mayi and indulged the Xiongnu army to get all the property that should be obtained.
Because of this, the military minister Chanyu was lured into the trap set by the Han army. This allusion was the origin of the idiom " invite the monarch into the urn."
However, unexpectedly, the plan went smoothly. The military minister Chanyu only saw livestock in the city and did not see any Han people. He suddenly became suspicious and let the Xiongnu army take down a bunker and capture a Han Wei Shi.
In order to survive, Wei Shi told him that 300,000 Han troops were lying in ambush. The military minister, Shan Yu, was shocked and retreated. The ambush set up by the Han army was useless.
If Nie Yi had given up on the ambush and attacked directly, he would definitely have gained something. However, Nie Yi chose to withdraw his troops and return to his division. The " Mayi Plan " ended in complete failure.
This allusion was the origin of the idiom "fail at the last step".
Nie Yi was questioned by Emperor Wu.
The Nie family had also become the sinner of the entire northwest, especially Mayi City, where no one from the Nie family was allowed to enter.
"General Zhu, please!"
"Please, give me, give the Nie family, a chance to atone for their sins!”
Zhang Liao also knelt down with his other leg. He knocked his forehead heavily on the ground, causing blood to flow out of the soft ground after the snow melted.
Lu Bu and Gao Shun turned their faces away. They couldn't bear to see this scene.
"Sigh."
Zhu Xiong sighed softly and waved his hand." The Death Warrior Camp of the front line is still short of three positions. You guys can go."”
Death Warrior Camp.
They weren't really trained warriors of sacrifice.
Instead, they were a bunch of death row prisoners who had committed capital crimes. They would be reused and thrown into the battlefield to stand at the forefront. If they could kill an enemy, it would be a profit. If they could not kill, it would be extremely good to waste a trace of the enemy's stamina.
"Thank you, General!"×3
