It was early noon when Tai Shici escorted the grain and grass to Zhang Yun's military camp. The delivery of the grain was originally done by someone from below, but Tai Shici insisted on being there to supervise because of his new investment in Liu Xin and failing to make any contribution. Not only that, but Taishi had to personally intervene in every detail, from the weighing of grain and grass, to checking the number, to signing and drawing, every step was indispensable for his participation.
In this way, the speed of handing over the grain and grass will naturally be slow. When all the processing is completed, it turns out to be midnight.
Liu Xin spoke highly of Taishici, saying that he was a man of high martial arts, loyal and brave, especially good at riding and shooting, but Zhang Xi now has a different view of Taishici. No matter how Taishici handles things, he is a mother-in-law. It's not like a sharp person, just handing over some grain and grass, it can be delayed until midnight,
It’s midnight now, so I can’t let Taishici take someone back overnight. Zhang Xi had to set up another open space behind his barracks and set up a camp for Taishici and the others. Fortunately, drinking alcohol is prohibited in the barracks, and there are not so many. Red tape, everyone spent some hastily dinner together and then went back to camp.
After tossing for a long time, everyone was a little tired. As the commander of the three armies, Zhang Xun couldn’t help but get up a little later, but Tai Shi Ci had already delivered the grain and grass, and he was light-hearted, so he slept very sweetly. I left the camp lazily and came to see Zhang Yun,
Although Zhang Xi was quite critical of Taishici’s performance, Taishici was not a person under his control, and he had to hold back his unhappiness, and said, “General Ziyi is here to say goodbye to Zhang, but Zhang is on official business. Forgive me that Zhang can't send it off."
Tai Shici also replied and said with a smile: "How dare General Lao Zhang be sent off by the general at the end. However, although this is only an escort for grain and grass, the lord will definitely ask the general about Lujiang City and Liu Bang after he returns. The current situation of the son, if he does not go to see the city, how can he reply to the son?"
It was noon when Tai Shici came here yesterday. If the grain and grass were delivered according to the normal process, he could rush back that night. He deliberately slowed down and delayed it until midnight, so that he could go to the city today and look for a chance to shoot Liu. Bang,
Although Zhang Xi didn’t know that Taishici’s work was due to a mysterious mission, Taishici’s words seemed to make some sense, and since retiring from the army that day, Zhang Xi except for receiving Liu Xin’s order yesterday, he divided his troops to guard every place. Outside of the Tao, I have never been to the city of Lujiang again, and I really don’t know what Liu Bang is doing. If Liu Xin asks about it, he will not be able to tell how ugly Yinmao is.
Zhang Xi couldn't help standing up and said, "It's okay, you and I will go to Lujiang City together for a while,"
At the moment the two of them were leading soldiers, coming down to Lujiang City, a few miles away from Lujiang City, they saw the banners under Lujiang City, all the soldiers and horses under the pressure, Zhang Yun couldn't help being taken aback, and asked left and right: "There What happened,"
Zhang Ren was also at a loss and said, "Reporting to the general that the scouts sent out did not return, and I don't know where these men and horses came from. Could it be that Yuan Shu heard that we were waiting for the army and came to meet him?"
Tai Shici also said in amazement: "This is not right. If Yuan Shu goes out to the army, the scouts should come back sooner and report it. There must be something wrong."
While talking, I suddenly saw hundreds of horses galloping forward, but they were all scouts sent by Zhang Xun and the others. One of them came to the front and turned over and fell off his horse. He knelt down on one knee and said, "General Qi, The three generals in front of him surrounded Lujiang City."
After listening to the report from Scout Cavalry, Zhang Chen was taken aback. Liu Xin gave the order to attack Yuan Shu in three ways. One of them was Zhang Fei’s Second Army, but after the war, there has been no news of Zhang Fei and others. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei suddenly appeared here, and while he was afraid to attack the city, he surrounded Lujiang City. Obviously, he wanted to grab the credit with him.
Zhang Xi was furious and shouted: "Since you know that it is the third brother and the others, why don't you wait to report it early?"
The scout bowed his head and said: "The subordinates waited to see the banner of the incoming person and went to inquire, but they were detained by the three generals. Since then, please be punished by the army."
Zhang Ren persuaded from the side: "The general calms down, let's go and take a look. The three generals are irritable, don't cause any trouble."
Zhang Yun also suddenly thought of Liu Bang, and he couldn't help but raise his whip, and said softly: "Quick,"
It turned out that Zhang Fei attacked Liu Bei’s camp during the night, and then discovered that Lujiang was still in Yuan Shu’s hands. He couldn’t help but exclaimed: “It’s really God who taught me this great work,” So Zhang Fei ignored Anfeng County and immediately swept his teacher south and went straight. Fly on the Lujiang River, and take a look at Lujiang City. On the head of the city, the big banner with Yuan character flutters in the wind. There is no big soldier outside the city. Zhang Fei laughed and ordered the siege of the city.
As soon as this force was deployed, they ran into the scouts sent by Zhang Yun. Because they were all their own and Zhang Fei’s status was quite high, these scouts were required to come forward to meet and report what they found for Zhang Fei’s status. Fei reference, only now did Zhang Fei know the reason for Zhang Xun’s retreat. Zhang Fei has always been unruly, and in his opinion, it is simply God’s will that he can catch up with the siege of Lujiang City, so he immediately ordered all these scouts to be detained. , Until he surrounded the city of Lujiang, and then let the scouts go back to report to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Xi and the others couldn't get far, they saw Zhang Fei greeted him with a smile, and said loudly: "Fourth, you are late, stay aside, watch me siege the city and play,"
The big legions under Liu Xin competed with each other on weekdays, and this time he attacked Yuan Shu, but mobilized the three legions in one go. The defeat of Lujiang and the capture of Yuan Shu alive were not just a matter of meritorious service, but also related to each other. With this opportunity, Zhang Fei will not let go of the honor of the big army. Not only did he not let go of this opportunity, but he also specially transferred his Chinese army from the north gate of Lujiang to the south gate, so that he could show off to Zhang Yun. Showing off, secondly, it can also block Zhang Xi’s marching route so that he can monopolize this power. This once again shows that Zhang Fei has a rough appearance, but has a detailed side inside.
Because Liu Xin’s order to Zhang Yun included one of his orders that he must try to save Liu Bang’s life, so seeing Zhang Fei preemptively encircle Lujiang City and put on a posture of aggressive attack, Zhang Yun was a little bit dumbfounded. At that time, where did Zhang Fei come to grab the credit, and hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't you know, Juchaohou Liu Bang is now being detained in the city by Yuan Shu,"
"Juchaohou Liu Bang," Zhang Fei had heard the news from those detective riders just now, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, "That's the son of the eldest brother who has passed away. Since he has passed away, then he will play with him. It’s the same as the water that goes out, do whatever it takes."
Of course, Zhang Fei knew that his words were far-fetched, but he wanted to grab the first victory in the attack on Lujiang City, so he was naturally unwilling to cast a rat-avoidance weapon. At this time, he said these words to excuse Liu Bang for possible casualties. ,
Zhang Xigang wanted to persuade him, but he heard Tai Shici say: "Enjoy the two generals. The lord already knows about Liu Bang, and the general will also want to go to find out. How about letting the general go to the city to see it first,"
Zhang Fei coldly snorted: "Well, you stinky hairy boy, you also want to compete with my old Zhang and you can't do it. You can go and see it. You can only look far away from the land of two arrows."
This fierce Zhang Fei is really rough and fine. Lujiang City is now surrounded by his Second Army. Even if Zhang Xi, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici all come to Lujiang City, they can only rely on their own first army if they want to attack the city. The Second Army, but Zhang Fei had also heard Liu Xin say that Taishici had a magical shooting technique, so Zhang Fei kept his eyes on him and kept Taishici from within two arrows of the city, lest Taishici would take the opportunity to shoot and kill. Yuan Shu, took the credit for himself, why is it two arrows instead of one? That's because the strong bow equipped by the Han army has a longer range.
Facing Zhang Fei’s contempt for himself in his words, Tai Shici didn’t think he was scornful, and said, “Finally, the general will follow the general order, slam,”
Sure enough, as expected by Zhang Fei, Tai Shici armed his bow and swung his whip towards the city of Lujiang. In fact, Tai Shici was happy at the moment. He was not a brave man, otherwise Jushou would not be able to entrust such a major event to this event. He, Tai Shici has heard from Zhang Fei’s words just now that Zhang Fei doesn’t seem to have a cold with Liu Bang. He can now act on his own, using Zhang Fei’s hand to get rid of Liu Bang and put himself out of the way.
Zhang Fei was a little anxious when he saw it. He leaned the rein and rushed down the city. Zhang Yun and others also rode horses to catch up. So the group came to Lujiang City and stopped two arrows to watch towards the city.
The head of Lujiang City was already crowded with people, bows up, swords out of sheaths, a little bit of cold light facing the Han army formation under the city, Yuan Shushou held the battlements and shouted towards the city: "Zhang Yun, you have eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard. I dare to come to this city. Doesn’t Liu Xin want his son’s life anymore? I have a rumored jade seal in my hand, but it is from heaven. If I know, I will retreat quickly and ask Liu Xin to come down as soon as possible. I can protect him. Prosperity and wealth,"
Zhang Yun and others looked at each other. Yuan Shu was too arrogant and arrogant. He was already on the ground. He could still have such confidence. It seems that Chuan Guo Yu Xi has turned him into a complete lunatic.
Tai Shici has already furiously said: "Yuan Shu, Xiu is rampant, waiting for someone to shoot you with an arrow,"
Zhang Fei yelled behind him: "Tai Shici, you must not enter within two arrows."
Tai Shici drew out a feather arrow and said: "Please rest assured, General Zhang, the general will shoot him an arrow here to dispel my hatred."
At this time, the tens of thousands of troops on the city and under the city were all silent. What they said was clear. Yuan Shu looked at such a long distance and didn't believe that the man really had this magical skill and could shoot himself, but he was not careful. It was a big mistake. Yuan Shu pulled Liu Bang by his side against his chest, and said loudly, "Haha, haha, Liu Xin's son is here. I want to see if any of you dare to shoot."
