Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang
Chapter 741: The Ending of Guan Family’s Rebellious Son
They are scared.
Because of the name Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, I was afraid and frightened.
But it was obvious that this hint of fear could not scare the Xianbei king Kebineng who led 300,000 Hu cavalry into the pass.
That's right...
The army has entered the pass.
The dangerous Yanmen Pass could no longer stop the trampling of the Hu cavalry. In this situation, he claimed to be invincible.
At this time, Zhang Liao had just started to climb the stairs, but the Xianbei King Kebineng had already expressed his greedy ambitions to Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi.
"Two young masters of the Cao family..." The high-pitched tone and rampant tone were just like the superiors speaking to the inferiors, "When I came here, I discussed with the generals. It seems that these brothers under my command have some complaints about the more than 30 cities and counties granted by the Great Wei... They said that such a few cities are not enough for us to share, not to mention the brothers of Wuhuan and Xiongnu? Two young masters of Cao, you are giving me these 30 cities, and you are also giving me more. Isn't that reasonable?"
Threaten, coerce.
Ke Bineng's hateful and greedy face made people's molars clatter.
But now...
Cao Zhang frowned, and he and Cao Zhi looked at each other, obviously... also a little hesitant.
If you don't agree, the Hu cavalry has already entered the pass. If you agree, who knows... these damn Hu people will make more excessive demands.
For a moment, Cao Zhang was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"We don't ask for much..." Ke Bineng suggested, "How about twenty more cities and counties? You choose, and we will occupy whatever is given to us. As long as the two Cao family masters agree, from now on, our 400,000 troops will obey your orders..."
When Ke Bineng said this, the leaders behind him also shouted and echoed him.
"Hundreds of thousands of us are meeting here to form an alliance? The two Master Caos will not object, right? Hahaha..."
"If they don't agree, can't we just take it ourselves? If we take it ourselves, it won't just be twenty more."
"I've been drooling over all the little girls I've seen along the way. How do the Han Chinese say this? Yes, yes, drooling, drooling—"
More and more rampant words echoed here.
It was these words that made Cao Zhang realize in an instant that he was naive. His plan to attract Hu's help... was too naive.
He is...he is inviting a wolf into the house!
But…but now, due to the current situation, he has to fight for the position of the new king of Wei, and also has to fight against the increasingly powerful Han army in the south. He…he has no choice!
"Ten... The maximum number of cities this general can give you is ten?"
Cao Zhang tried to bargain...
The more he did this, the more sad he felt. He really realized that he was wrong. If these barbarian dogs had not entered the pass, when had he, Cao Zhang, ever been afraid of them?
But it's too late. I have to continue on the path I have chosen.
"Hehe..." Ke Bineng looked at him mockingly and said lightly, "Do you think I am bargaining with you?"
It was this sentence that completely angered Cao Zhang. With a whoosh, his sword was already unsheathed. "What? What do you mean? My sword is not worth bargaining for?"
The long-lost fighting spirit was ignited again.
The atmosphere is extremely tense!
And just as the atmosphere was turning cold, even the prospects of this alliance... were filled with doubts.
"woo woo woo woo--"
"Boom boom boom——"
The sound of trumpets and drums rang out again.
It turned out to be the Wei's General Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, who stepped onto the platform.
In fact, his personal guards had been stopped backstage, and there were only four of them accompanying him up. But even with these five people, including him, their steps were sonorous and powerful, like dragons and tigers, and even every step was in time with the drum beat, creating a momentum of sweeping away thousands of enemies.
"General Zhang?"
Cao Zhang saw Zhang Liao and subconsciously chanted, asking: "Is General Zhang's injury okay? In front of Suanzao County... General Zhang fought against dozens of Han generals with his own body, and he fought hard with more than ten wounds on his body. His domineering and powerful aura is so moving that it makes people feel heartbroken!"
Cao Zhang's original intention was to inspire the fighting spirit of the Wei people.
But... this question...
The fear of the King of Wuhuan and the King of Xiongnu was immediately reduced.
——『So you are injured?』
——『A sick tiger? What are you afraid of?』
With this in mind, the backs of Subuyan, the king of Wuhuan, and Huchuquan, the king of Xiongnu, which had been bent due to fear, could not help but straighten up again.
"General Zhang Liao, haha, this is incredible, with more than ten wounds on his body?" Su Puyan laughed. "How dare you come to this alliance?"
"Who are you?" Zhang Liao stared at Su Puyan with extremely contemptuous eyes.
"The new king of the Wuhuan court, Su Puyan, is me—"
He raised his tone deliberately.
But as the voice of the Wuhuan King spread.
"I haven't heard of it." Zhang Liao responded in an indifferent tone, "But your former king, the one who was known as the bravest among the Wuhuan, Tadun, was beheaded by me. My crescent halberd is still stained with his smelly blood——"
"you--"
The Wuhuan King Su Puyan never expected that Zhang Liao would be so domineering and merciless, and he immediately flew into a rage...but the other party's cold face and intimidating look made him dare not act rashly.
This is the chill from the bones——
"Huchuquan, the Xiongnu king?" Zhang Liao turned his eyes to Huchuquan again. He noticed the other party's side and added, "Zuo Xian Wang is here too..."
"So what if he comes?" Liu Bao, the Left Wise King, frowned and glared at Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao smiled and said calmly, "When you were afraid of the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty, who took the initiative to propose to send back the abducted Cai Zhaoji? And you kept flattering the King of Wei. Why? The King of Wei is not in this northern border anymore, isn't he dead? Cai Zhaoji was not sent back, but you brought tens of thousands of Hu cavalry? How impressive!"
Taunt, mock, expose the truth...
Domineering exposure——
It was these words that made Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang hesitate to speak. He wanted to refute... but Zhang Liao pointed out the fact that he bullied the weak and feared the strong, and that the Southern Xiongnu had been playing both sides and flattering the powerful and bullying the weak in recent years.
What does he have to refute?
"You...you...ah..."
With a helpless sigh, Huochuquan and Liu Bao could not help but take a step back.
At this time, it was still Xianbei King Kebineng. He squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Liao, "If you are injured, you should rest and recover. The wind is strong on the martial arts stage, don't get blown down by the wind. It's not worth dying here!"
Still using a haughty tone.
However, Zhang Liao's tone was even more arrogant and domineering than his, "Who are you, you little scoundrel?"
"Hmph..." Ke Bineng snorted coldly and turned his head to Cao Zhang, "Is this how you, the Great Wei, treat our 400,000 Hu Yong?"
"The art of hospitality? Haha..." Zhang Liao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this ironic word. He didn't know whether it was a laugh of contempt or a laugh because he foresaw that some people were about to meet with disaster.
At this time, Ke Bineng asked again, "Then, let me ask one more question. How many people did the seriously injured General Zhang bring to this meeting?"
"Eight hundred! Tiger soldiers!"
When he chanted the number "eight hundred", Zhang Liao's eyes became completely sharp.
This is also the number...
This made Ke Bineng burst into laughter.
"Eight hundred? Hahahaha, a mere eight hundred people also came to the alliance? Hahaha, hahahaha..."
However, Zhang Liao ignored Kebinen and turned to Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi. He then took out the seal of King Wei and held the edict of King Wei high above his head.
"Here is the order from the King of Wei. Prince Zhang and Prince Zhi, why don't you kneel down and receive the order—"
really…
When he saw the imperial edict and the seal of King Wei, Cao Zhi subconsciously knelt on one knee and bowed forward. Cao Zhang also hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and bowed towards Zhang Liao.
The Xianbei king Kebineng, the Southern Xiongnu king Huochuquan, and the Wuhuan king Subuyan subconsciously moved closer to Zhang Liao, some wanting to see the seal of the King of Wei, and some wanting to see the words on the imperial edict.
They were very curious about what kind of edict King Cao Cao of Wei would send at this time?
To which incompetent son will the Great Wei be passed on?
But there is a saying that goes - curiosity kills the cat!
When the long scroll of imperial edict was slowly unrolled, almost everyone held their breath and concentrated to the extreme...
So much so that Cao Zhang couldn't help but stick his head out, wanting to see "his" name in the edict. This... was the approval of his father, which would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But he was destined to be disappointed because there was no one's name in this edict.
All there is is: a dagger forged from fine steel!
The dagger is revealed——
A dagger with a cold glow suddenly jumped out from the imperial edict. Zhang Liao was prepared. He picked up the dagger and with a flash of his body, the dagger appeared in front of the Xianbei King Kebineng like a ghost.
Ke Bineng was horrified upon seeing this and quickly stepped back, wanting his personal guards to block the attack for him.
Who would have thought... Zhang Liao's movements were as fast as lightning. Without even waiting for the Hu guards to make any move, the dagger had already drawn a brilliant arc in the air. The Xianbei King Kebineng drew his sword to block it, but there was only a "clang" sound, and the dagger had already chopped off the sword, and then... in just a moment it slashed across the throat of the Xianbei King Kebineng.
In an instant, blood splattered——
Before his death, Kebineng opened his eyes wide, looking at Zhang Liao in disbelief, but he was just looking, because apart from his eyes that were popping out of horror and surprise, he no longer had any consciousness.
Fast enough——
Quick enough——
But the only thing missing is some cruelty!
As for the Hu people, they could have been killed more cruelly.
When this scene happened, everyone on the meeting stage was shocked, but Zhang Liao moved extremely quickly, with no concealment of his murderous aura. He threw the dagger in his hand violently and stabbed it steadily and accurately into the neck of the Wuhuan King Su Puyan.
"Boom-"
He fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he would die like this.
What is even more unbelievable is that the same Wuhuan tribe had two kings slaughtered by Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. Two royal courts fell into the hands of this man!
"Hannan... this..."
Cao Zhi exclaimed and quickly turned to look at Li Miao.
Xiahou Dun only felt murderous aura rising from all directions and heard the sound of someone seriously injured falling to the ground, but because he was blind, he had no idea what was happening.
He was also shouting, "Hannan, what happened? What happened?"
Only Li Miao was not as surprised as Cao Zhi and Xiahou Dun. This was Guan Lin's plan, and this plan... had just begun when the truth was revealed.
In this plan, all he needs to do is protect himself!
Avoid accidental injuries
It was for this reason that Li Miao calmly took Cao Zhi and Xiahou Dun to run off the stage as soon as possible.
"We cannot stay here for long due to the unexpected situation. It is best to leave first!"
Li Miao's departure was extremely wise.
Because, just as the true intention was revealed... just after Zhang Liao killed the two Hu "Chanyu" with his own hands, the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu's personal guards all came towards him to hack and chop.
Even after witnessing all this, a group of Hu Yongs in the audience rushed towards the stage.
Their king died in public, which was a huge shame and humiliation for their tribe and the entire Hu people!
only…
Under this high platform, the eight hundred Tiger Guards brought by Zhang Liao, who were originally blocked, had already guarded the steps.
The first person shouted.
"Eight hundred brave warriors, slaughtering the barbarians, fighting on the battlefield, returning wrapped in their horsehide—"
That is, after this sound.
"He died wrapped in his horsehide..."
"He died wrapped in his horsehide..."
One after another, voices that were extremely excited rang out.
These Tiger Guards had already pointed the long-handled weapons in their hands forward... Each of them was extremely indifferent, but surging murderous aura was already gushing out of their bodies.
"Eight hundred brave warriors are here, come here and die, you barbarian dog—"
Along with the passionate shouts of eight hundred people, "clang" the weapons of both sides had already crossed each other. Under the bright sun, the faces of this first group of Hu people were gloomy and dull, and beads of sweat as big as beans dripped to the ground for unknown reasons.
And their expressions were so weird.
Just when the Han soldiers who were meeting in the audience were confused.
"Ugh-"
A streak of blood had already appeared on their necks.
The entire first row of Hu soldiers fell to the ground... their eyes were wide open with astonishment, and the shattered Hu scimitars fell to the ground.
This scene happened so fast that many people didn't react, but the eight hundred Tiger Soldiers were no longer content to defend the important roads, and they began to take the initiative to attack...
The weapon that could cut through iron like mud was swung out again, ruthlessly harvesting... the lives of these Hu people, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
These wild wolf-like Hu soldiers and generals, the tribesmen and warriors who were born to fight, seem to have become weak sheep now...
In front of these eight hundred brave warriors, they could only wait to be slaughtered and be slaughtered without any ability to resist!
This is still the same team... that once crossed the river and frightened 100,000 people in Jiangdong!
What they are doing now is a feat that is even more glorious than before, worthy of a separate page in the family tree!
Their hometown is Bingzhou!
Their former name was Bingzhou Wolf Riders. They were the protectors of this land, and they hated the wolves from outside the Great Wall who made a living by plundering the border.
This is a hatred that wells up from the bones, and it is the awakening of blood.
Undoubtedly, they are ten times more terrifying today than when they were in Xiaoyaojin!
They are the team that fought out of hell——
...
Below the martial arts arena, the Hu soldiers were engaged in a life-and-death battle.
On the martial arts arena, Zhang Liao fought against twelve people alone, including the Xiongnu king Huochuquan, the Xiongnu left wise king Liu Bao, and those Xianbei and Wuhuan warriors who were angry about the death of the "Chanyu" and wanted to die with Zhang Liao.
only…
For Zhang Liao, even though it was not easy, at least it was not difficult to face this group of smashers!
Thanks to the elixir, Zhang Liao's body has recovered. Thanks to his sword and leather armor, his damage is enough to break all the weapons of the Hu people. His defense... is as solid as a rock.
Of course, even if that’s not the case!
Just to deal with this bunch of bastards!
That was much easier than the time when Zhang Liao faced more than a dozen brave Han generals in front of Suanzao County!
"what--"
"help me--"
"Dong, dong——"
Two more people died at the hands of Zhang Liao.
One of them had almost half of his body cut off by Zhang Liao’s sword. Even when half of his body was in the air, he was still shouting “Save me, save me” -
With loud "bang, bang" sounds, the guard fell to the ground tragically.
These barbarians, who were originally full of murderous intent, suddenly did not dare to step forward...or rather, no one dared to be the first to step forward!
The man in front of me...
This man named Zhang Liao, he...he...he is so terrifying!
He seemed destined to be someone else's nightmare.
Who will go first? Isn't that early death?
"Form a formation, attack together, attack together..."
As the Left Wise King Liu Bao watched the increasingly unfavorable battle situation, he couldn't understand why so many of them couldn't do anything to Zhang Liao.
Could it be that the Hu people were destined not to pass that damn pass?
"Where's the archer?"
"Where is the support from the audience?" Liu Bao asked angrily...
One of the guards quickly replied: "The steps of the platform are blocked by the soldiers brought by Zhang Liao. The thousands of us below the platform cannot attack them at once."
That's putting it mildly.
It’s more than just that I can’t kill him.
The Hu people in the audience were almost killed...
"What about the military camp? We still have 100,000 soldiers at the foot of the West Mountain. No, our three tribes combined still have 400,000 soldiers... With so many people, a single spit from each of them could drown Zhang Liao's men!"
Liu Bao continued to ask, his voice already a little irritable.
“The flare has already been fired, but…but…” the guard hesitated.
Yes, the signal arrows had already been fired, and the 400,000 Hu troops at the foot of the Western Hills should have known the situation here long ago.
But? Where are the people! Where are the people?
For a moment, Liu Bao was really screwed. He felt... as if what they brought was not an overwhelming force, but an invisible and intangible air——
So...the question is?
What about the 400,000 Hu soldiers at the foot of the Western Hills?
They are not air, they really exist, but now they... are not much better than the Hu people here?
It can even be said to be even more miserable and more desperate!
...
At the foot of the West Mountain.
It was crowded and bustling with people. At this moment... the 400,000 Hu people were in chaos and uproar.
Just now, they heard about the incident on the alliance stage.
They subconsciously picked up their weapons and armor, mounted their horses and headed towards the meeting platform. Especially the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, who were originally discussing whether they should plunder a few villages and capture a few girls for their own enjoyment, but the tragic death of the king made them extremely angry.
There were crowds of people, their eyes were fierce and murderous.
However, today, they are destined to find it difficult to release this murderous aura, because... the entrance to the entire valley has been completely sealed.
There was a sudden explosion, and the huge rocks buried the entire valley entrance. Facing the towering stone pestles, one had to climb over them to get out!
The difficulties here...are beyond words.
"Who the hell blocked this mountain road?"
"Where do we get out? Where do we get out?"
"Climb, climb up! The king has been killed. We must crawl out to avenge him even if we have to crawl."
"That's right, let those Han people see that we are not easy to bully..."
"And by the way, we took over Bingzhou—"
As they were talking, more and more Hu people began to climb up the rocks.
And that stone pestle... was on the upper slope, and Tian Yu was looking at them with a frown.
But, they at the foot of the mountain are like ants... yes, ants on a hot pot.
At this time, a soldier came to report, "General, they are all gathered at the stone pile at the entrance of the valley... It seems that they are planning to climb over this stone pestle!"
Hearing this, Tian Yu smiled and sighed, "You're already here, and you still want to go back?"
Having said this, Tian Yu immediately gave the order.
"Have all the utensils sent from Luoyang been arranged?"
"All right!"
"The crossbowmen and flying ball soldiers brought by General Guan are all in place now!"
"Everyone, stand ready, waiting for the general's signal."
"What are you waiting for!" Tian Yu raised the military flag and said, "Beat the drums and give the signal. Bomb, kill all the barbarians who enter the pass--"
That was when his voice fell.
"Boom boom boom——"
"Boom boom boom——"
The sound of drums rang out from all directions...At the same time, the Hu soldiers who had climbed up the stone steps with great difficulty were feeling proud.
"Our army of 400,000? How can these mere stones stop us? What a joke, hahahaha, hahahahaha..."
"Beat the drum? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think we are three-year-old kids?"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The other Hu people were also laughing, thinking that once they climbed up the stone steps, nothing would be able to stop their cavalry!
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because all you could hear was a series of continuous and intermittent "boom" noises... The rocks in all directions suddenly roared like thunder, and the whole valley seemed to be shaking.
Then... all the stone steps on the stone walls around the valley... were shattered by the explosion and then rolled down into the valley...
Huge rocks fell like meteors, and countless Hu people were smashed into powder. Countless blood, brain matter, and fluid were squeezed out. The whole scene was extremely horrifying, even a little cruel.
"what--"
"Run, Stone, run--"
"Save me, save me—"
"Please give me a hand, please, give me a hand—"
For a moment, screams and neighings rang out. Many of these Hu people were cavalrymen, and their horses were frightened in such chaos, rushing around like headless flies.
The number of people who were trampled and crushed into pulp was countless.
As for those surviving Hu people who were far away from the valley entrance, they could only flee in all directions, just like ants on a hot pan, trying to find a place to survive, but... it was obvious that this beautiful vision was in vain at this moment.
In their eyes, this was destined to be a disaster, a horrific disaster.
only…
Where are we now?
As they fled in all directions, suddenly...
"Boom, boom, boom—"
Explosions also began on the ground throughout the valley, blasting throughout the entire Hu army camp. Huge tongues of fire rose close to the ground, burning and spreading throughout the place.
The foot of the West Mountain was an area with lush trees, and Tian Yu thoughtfully built wooden houses and forts for them. Even the cloth tents that the Hu people brought with them, each of these... was a natural fuel for the fire.
The explosions continued to sound.
Fire helps the wind, wood helps the fire, the whole place is like purgatory...
More and more barbarians were engulfed by the fire.
The wailing and screaming of hundreds of thousands of people have filled the valley.
Is this still the place surrounded by green mountains and shady trees? Is this still the Han Dynasty that the Hu people wanted to enter so badly?
This place has clearly become a Shura field that belongs exclusively to the Hu people.
"Eternal Heaven..."
Some Hu people are already screaming helplessly towards the sky, asking the heavens why they are treated like this?
They were born in a barren land? Shouldn't they go to plunder, seize, and rob the rich Central Plains?
Did they...did they do something wrong?
"Eternal Heaven...Eternal Heaven, please open your eyes and take a look...see what your people are going through?"
"Eternal Heaven, please open your eyes and save your people! Please save your people!"
An old Hu man who looked like a wizard...held up a scepter and asked his Changshengtian.
only…
He did not wait for Changshengtian, but found that "dots" appeared in the sky... These dots were slowly descending. They were spheres, they formed lines and drew surfaces. As they descended lower and lower... the entire sky was covered by them.
The overwhelming, gray side quickly enveloped the area, and shadows spread across the valley.
"Is this? A revelation from Changshengtian?"
The wizard-like Hu man was still fantasizing.
But at this moment, the "Eternal Heaven" he mentioned was smashing glass bottles down from the overwhelming sphere.
Then the glass shattered... the fish oil and saltpeter powder inside spread out... fueling the already ignited fire. The flames shuttled through the entire valley like an angry beast. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the sky red. The heat waves rolled, and it seemed as if even the air was burning.
It was from this time that 400,000 Hu people...
Their cries for help completely intertwined into a tragic symphony, leaving no room for maneuver.
There is another place in the mountains...
Huang Zhong and his group of crossbowmen were already ready, and their mission...
Last hit!
They want to eradicate all the evil and make the final move to ensure that no one escapes.
"Draw the crossbow, fire ten rounds at once, start—"
"Up-string——"
"shoot--"
The violent crossbow formation fired tens of thousands of crossbow arrows, covering the valley.
The valley on this day experienced rubble, explosive packs, air-dropped incendiary bombs, and finally the end of the crossbow. The whole series completely formed a closed loop.
And witnessed the whole process.
The entire process of 400,000 barbarian men being buried here.
Tian Yu only felt a sense of shock and horror, even more than shock, it was already a bit like madness.
"hehe…"
In the end, he couldn't help but laugh, a laugh with complicated emotions. Even in this laugh, he felt a faint refreshing feeling!
So comfortable——
So refreshing——
How can you not feel uncomfortable and refreshed?
Emperor Wu of Han spent half his life doing this;
Huo Qubing's unprecedented and unparalleled performance enabled the Han Dynasty to sweep away the Xiongnu and recover the Western Regions...
Now... this fire has been realized directly!
You know, 400,000 Hu men died here. What does this mean?
It means that from now on, there will be no men in Mobei...
It means that recovering the Western Regions has turned from an ideal into reality.
Especially for Tian Yu, everything he had been pursuing for decades was about to be realized, right before his eyes.
This made him suddenly realize something, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and start to daydream.
"General Tian... General Tian..." It took a long time before a soldier reminded him.
"What happened?" Tian Yu was startled when his thoughts were pulled back, and he asked quickly: "But some Hu people escaped..."
"How could they escape in this situation?" The soldier laughed, and then reported solemnly: "It was General Guan, he has led his men to the meeting platform."
"what…"
Hearing this, Tian Yu was shocked and almost forgot about it.
They were throwing rocks, explosives, raining fire from the sky, and firing thousands of crossbows, but... but over there on the meeting platform, Zhang Liao was still fighting hard!
With this in mind, Tian Yu waved his hand quickly, "Quick, follow me to rescue General Wenyuan——"
...
Surrounded by mountains, on the meeting platform, the bloody setting sun——
When Tian Yu arrived, Guan Yu had just stepped onto the meeting platform...
As Tian Yu and his men quickly came on stage, looking at the blood all over the place, he couldn't help but feel nervous and tense to the extreme.
嗏
All the tension completely disappeared the moment we reached the summit.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
As the laughter rang out on the stage, Tian Yu came on stage. He saw Guan Yu laughing, Zhang Liao laughing, and the blood-soaked tiger guards behind Zhang Liao laughing...
Everyone was smiling brightly.
This…
Tian Yu rubbed his eyes and noticed that the entire meeting platform was littered with the corpses of the Hu people, numbering thousands.
That's when.
Guan Yu's laughter subsided, and he stroked his newly grown beard slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Wenyuan, if I had known this earlier, Guan would not have rushed to save you?"
As these words came out, the obviously wounded Zhang Liao used his crescent halberd to support himself on the ground, and then replied: "Yunchang? Don't you know Zhang Babai who defeated Sun's 100,000 men at Xiaoyaojin? Hahaha, what we have before us are just a few thousand barbarians? How do they compare to the 100,000 men of the Eastern Wu? Hahaha, the Liao army regards them as dirt chickens and clay dogs!"
Homemade chickens and clay dogs, these are Guan Yu's usual expressions. Now, when they come out of Zhang Liao's mouth, there is no sense of incongruity at all.
But Zhang Liao mentioned Zhang Babai and Sun Shiwan...
Guan Yu couldn't help but suddenly start to daydream!
He thought of the place where all the stories came from.
I thought of the starting point of all stories.
All these breakthroughs and all the wonderful stories started with the literary and military tests he conducted on his son Guan Lin.
With this in mind, Guan Yu chanted aloud: "The roar of tigers and dragons shakes a thousand miles, and the blue eyes of Jiangdong are startled... If I had a son, I would like him to be like Sun Zhongmou, and Hefei would send 100,000 people to their heads!"
When he said this, Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed, and it seemed as if the pain from the wounds on his body had all healed at once, and he sighed.
"Good poem?"
Then he quickly asked: "Yun Chang can also write poetry?"
"I can beat dates!" Guan Yu replied jokingly, then turned around and said seriously, "My son wrote it!"
"Your rebellious son Guan Lin?"
"That's him! He's a rebellious son, but he's also Guan's favorite son!"
“That’s what I told you!” Zhang Liao spread his hands. “I told you who could write so well. Haha…hahahaha…the roar of tigers and the roar of dragons can shake a thousand miles…your son has vision, he has vision. With this vision, he deserves to win until now, to win until now…”
In the first few words, Zhang Liao's tone was excited and passionate, but in the latter part, it became melancholy and complicated.
And this... is exactly how he feels at this moment.
He did it. Today, he killed the leaders of the Xianbei, Wuhuan and Southern Xiongnu with his own hands, and annihilated their personal guards and followers... He burned all the Hu people in Mobei to ashes, which was something that even the "Nie" family's Mayi conspiracy could not accomplish.
The Nie family did not lead the Hu people into the encirclement back then...
Today, Zhang Liao achieved it!
It can even be said that Zhang Liao personally moved the Mayi plot to Jinyang City and to the Western Hills. What the Hu people owed the Han Dynasty and the "Nie" family two hundred years ago, they have all been repaid today.
But at the same time, this is based on the last hope of destroying the Wei Dynasty with one's own hands.
On one side is justice, on the other side is loyalty——
This has created the Zhang Liao of today, and the Zhang Wenyuan of this state of mind——
"Wenyuan..."
As if sensing that Zhang Liao was in a bad mood, Guan Yu took the initiative to speak.
Zhang Liao interrupted Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, I want to do something..."
"what?"
"I want to change my clan's surname back to Nie!" Zhang Liao looked up at the sky.
Guan Yu paused for a moment, and then he quickly figured something out. "During the Mayi plot, the Nie family was originally a hero, but unfortunately the news leaked out, and the Huns did not enter the ambush... It has been three hundred years since then, and the Nie family even changed their surname to avoid retaliation from the Huns... For the past three hundred years, they have been sleeping on straw and hiding their courage——"
At this point, Guan Yu clenched his fist, and stretched his strong fist toward the west. He said solemnly, "General Nie Wenyuan, if you are going to conquer the west, can I be your vanguard?"
This...is obviously a joke.
But it was also the same joke, "Hahahahaha..." Zhang Liao and Guan Yu laughed at the same time.
This is a knowing smile, a smile that shows mutual understanding...
They laughed so happily...
However, Tian Yu, who was a spectator, looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Liao in surprise.
It was hard for him to understand. These two people... maybe half a year ago they were fighting for different masters on the battlefield until death... but now, they could laugh heartily on the same platform, and work together to conquer the West... this important event -
This kind of friendship... is truly enviable to others.
at this time…
Zhang Liao seemed to suddenly think of something. With the help of Guan Yu, he picked up the seal of King Wei, the sword of King Wei, and the unfolded imperial edict that had fallen to the ground.
Then, he limped to Cao Zhang, who was also seriously injured.
"Ziwen..."
"Hu...Hu..." Cao Zhang was also injured in the chaos, and his injury was serious...
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he wanted to escape, but was injured by Jiang Wei who came to support him...
A sword pierced through the shoulder!
What hurts more than this injury is his mood.
Is it over?
Is it all over?
His vision of becoming the King of Wei, his grand ambitions, his...the power he longed for so much, are they all over?
Apparently out of grief, Cao Zhang did not respond to Zhang Liao's words.
But Zhang Liao still handed him the imperial edict, "Take a look, it contains your father's handwritten edict..."
"Ziwen, take a look at what your father wrote to you?"
At this time... Cao Zhang just looked up. He took the imperial edict tremblingly, the edict that he had longed to see but in the end did not see the name on, and slowly unfolded it.
On it, the familiar words written by my father emerged vividly.
These are nine sonorous words!
"All the men of Wei should first kill the barbarians—"
There is no gain or loss of the Wei Dynasty, no explanation from the Crown Prince of the Wei Dynasty, and even no love between young men and women. What there is... is just the attack and hatred against foreign races.
And this is Cao Cao’s attitude;
And this is Cao Cao's final decision——
It was this line of familiar words that made Cao Zhang's hands tremble...tremble violently——
"Look at what you have done?" Zhang Liao continued, "Haha, your father is much wiser than you. Is it Han? Is it Wei? Is it Wu? This is our own family affair behind closed doors! How can we allow outsiders to interfere? How can we allow foreign races to harm us?"
At this point, Zhang Liao shook his head deeply.
Then he stared at Cao Zhang with hatred, "You have been following your father in the army since you were a child, but now it seems that you still don't understand him! Your father has always been a hero. Your father's original dream was to become the General of the Western Expedition of the Han Dynasty. These barbarians... have always been his bottom line, and you have lost sight of the main point and pursued the trivial. You are... a coward——"
That was when Zhang Liao uttered his last sentence and he turned his head away angrily.
A general has already spoken.
"Quickly take Cao Zhang back to Luoyang and hand him over to Uncle Liu for punishment—"
Half a day later...
The official in charge of counting the battle reports had already produced preliminary results. He faced Guan Yu and Zhang Liao and reported loudly.
"General Guan, General Zhang, this battle is a great victory!"
"The four hundred thousand barbarians who entered the pass will be killed—"
...
...
Luoyang, once the palace of the King of Wei, is now the emperor's headquarters.
Under the surveillance of several Han soldiers.
Cao Cao stepped onto a high platform, looking at the stars in the sky, looking at the mountains in the distance that were just out of reach, and imagining that on the other side of the sky, the battlefield belonging to the "General of the Western Expedition" had already begun.
He couldn't help but sigh and read it out loud.
"Going north to the Taihang Mountains is so difficult and steep! The winding and winding paths will break your wheels."
"How bleak the trees are! The north wind is blowing sadly. Bears are crouching in front of me, and tigers and leopards are crying on both sides of the road."
"There are few people in the valley, and the snow is falling heavily! I stretch my neck and sigh deeply, and have many thoughts about my journey."
Thinking of this... Cao Cao paused for a moment, then continued: "The journey has gone on for a long time, and both men and horses are hungry. Carrying bags to collect firewood, using axes to cut ice to make porridge. The poem written by Dongshan is so sad, it makes me sad... makes me sad!"
Just when Cao Cao was feeling deeply moved...
"King Wei, Prince Yunqi wants to see you—"
A Han army soldier stepped forward and asked Cao Cao.
"Here he comes again. It seems... he wants to wait with me for good news from the northwest—"
Chant this sentence...
Cao Cao turned around and walked down the stairs step by step.
Soon, Cao Cao walked into the house. Because it was the former palace of the King of Wei, Liu Bei specially gave Cao Cao's room to him to live in temporarily.
Except that someone was watching him all the time, his freedom was not restricted.
After entering this room, Cao Cao suddenly felt something was wrong...
Although Guan Lin felt strange, after all... there was no oppression or aura when he talked to him or stood next to him, but now... there was something wrong in the room.
This is a completely different feeling from Guan Lin.
It is a dangerous signal.
Soon, Cao Cao locked the signal behind the curtain. He glanced behind the curtain and burst into laughter, "Hahahahahahahaha".
While laughing, he said with relief, "So it's not Guan Lin!"
"Haha, I told you, why don't you come to see me?"
Following Cao Cao's voice...
The sound of footsteps came from behind the curtain.
The steps were very slow, very gentle, but... unusually firm.
Cao Cao saw the person clearly, and it was indeed the one he guessed. Without waiting for the person to speak, Cao Cao spoke first: "Sometimes, I really envy Xuande, because he has someone like you by his side, but I... Haha, once upon a time, I also had a counselor, close friend, and brother like you... It's a pity that God is jealous of talents..."
Without waiting for Cao Cao to finish his words.
The man who walked out from behind the curtain has already spoken, "People say that if Guo Jia doesn't die, Wolong won't come out. This is a gain and a loss, but it is a blessing for my lord and a great misfortune for the King of Wei..."
Having said this, the man paused.
Then his gaze changed from gentle to fierce, and his eyes changed from meticulous and long to the knife in the bag, with the sharp edge exposed -
He turned his back to Cao Cao and said calmly:
"What the King of Wei said just now is very true. When I am by my Lord's side, I am like Guo Fengxiao by the King of Wei's side. I do what my Lord cannot do, and I kill those whom my Lord cannot bear to kill—"
