Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 77 Kill his mother
'hiss. Liu Zhang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at Li Yi in front of him. He had some doubts about whether Li Yi was a human or a ghost.

I saw Li Yi's disheveled hair, which had not been washed for a long time and was twisted into locks. The clothes on his body were torn and torn by the thorns in the mountains and forests, and the skin and flesh all over his body were covered with old and new wounds. Mixed.

Not only was his body scarred, but his spirit was also not very good, his face was haggard, and he looked more than ten years older than before he left for Hanzhong.

Li Yi's originally dark hair was actually mixed with some white hair, and his energy seemed to have been drained out, making him look like a walking corpse.

Miserable, what a miserable word.

This made Liu Zhang, who had resorted to the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, a little bit unbearable. He showed a look of regret and asked condolences: "Colonel, why are you doing this?"

After hearing Liu Zhang's question, Li Yi woke up from his dazed state. He shed tears before he said a word, and two lines of clear tears kept flowing down his face.

He prostrated himself on the ground and first begged, "Mr. Ming, please avenge me and Captain Pang."

Then he raised his hand, used his sleeve to stop his tears, and told how he went to Hanzhong to defend against Zhang Lu, but was attacked and killed by Zhang Lu.

"Zhang Lu, the rice thief, refused to let Captain Pang and I enter the pass on the pretext that the camp was not established in Yangping Pass. Captain Pang and I had to camp outside Yangping Pass."

"More than ten days later, Zhang Lu said that all the necessary matters had been settled and that he would welcome me into the customs. However, when Captain Pang and I were setting up camp, he led his troops to cover up the attack."

"How can we resist if our camp is not complete?"

"Zhang Lu's troops were mixed with a lot of Yi Yi, and they were very powerful. Captain Pang was unprepared and was killed on the spot."

Speaking of this, Li Yi showed a painful expression. He and Pang Le were not only colleagues, but also brothers with different surnames who had good family ties.

At that time, when he saw Pang Le being killed, his heart ached like a knife. He wanted to go forward and fight with the leader of the tribe who killed Pang Le, but was stopped by his own guards. The group of people panicked and ran towards the mountains and forests to escape pursuit. .

In the past, he and Pang Le often said that they did not want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they wanted to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. But now that Pang Le is dead, he is still alive.

"Ming Gong, please make the decision for me and Captain Pang." After another plea, Li Yi bowed down again.

His enmity with Zhang Lu was not only Pang Le's death, but also the bloody feud between his men.

Most of his subordinates were children of his own family and fellow villagers. They followed him and wanted to seek wealth and fame, but they did not expect to die outside Yangping Pass.

After escaping from death this time, there were only a few people left around him.

In this current situation, unless Zhang Lu was killed to avenge his hatred, he would not even dare to return to his hometown.

'What a deep hatred. When Liu Zhang listened to Li Yi's words explaining what happened, he could hear Li Yi's gnashing of teeth, and blood seeped out of the corners of Li Yi's mouth.

I hate Zhang Lu to the core.

But think about it, the private military system was rampant in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and most of the generals' subordinates were relatives and fellow villagers. If relatives were killed, it would be abnormal not to hate them.

Furthermore, a general who loses his private army loses the foundation for survival in the army and can only slowly remain in obscurity.

Just like the battle of Xiaoyaojin, Ling Tong led 300 soldiers to cut off Sun Quan's queen. All 300 people died in the battle. Ling Tong cried bitterly at that time.

Later, when Ling Tong saw Sun Quan, he burst into tears again. Although Sun Quan promised to supply him with double the number of troops, how could the soldiers who supplied Ling Tong compare with the [-] personal guards Ling Tong had before him.

The three hundred personal guards before Ling Tong were veterans of the war. They were the best of the best, and one was equal to ten.

The private soldiers are no better than other soldiers. The private soldiers know the basics and share weal and woe with the generals.After losing these [-] personal guards, Ling Tong basically became a little transparent in the later period. Before Ling Tong's death, the most important thing he did was recruit soldiers. If he couldn't recruit soldiers, he would capture Shanyue as a soldier, and even less. He died at thirty, which most likely had a lot to do with the death of his three hundred personal guards.

Even if Liu Zhang now takes pity on Li Yi and allocates 2000 people to Li Yi, he is still not as loyal and reliable to Li Yi as Li Yi's previous troops.

For the generals who seek to be promoted and rewarded in troubled times, this can be described as a mortal enemy.

Liu Zhang looked at Li Yi and estimated that with his mental state, Li Yi would not live long. He might be like Ling Tong, who would die before the age of 30.

He did not immediately agree to Li Yi's request for revenge, but asked Pang Que to get a document and give it to Li Yi to read.

Li Yi took the document handed to him by Pang Que with a puzzled expression. When he saw the beginning of the line, he couldn't help but grasp the bamboo slip with both hands. As a military general, his strength should not be underestimated. The bamboo slip immediately made a snapping sound. .

'Zhang Lu. Li Yi knew the owner of this document.

He stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, mixed with devouring hatred, and read line by line, wanting to know Zhang Lu's intentions. As he read, he gritted his teeth.

When he saw the end, he threw the bamboo slips heavily on the ground and cursed: "Zhang Lu, this rice thief, is so shameless."

"There are such shameless people in the world."

Li Yi raised his hand and expressed his loyalty to Liu Zhang: "Ming Gong, Captain Pang and I have absolutely no differences of heart. We are loyal to heaven and earth."

"Zhang Lu, a thief who has ulterior motives, attacked me and Colonel Pang, and dared to issue a document slandering me and Captain Pang for having ulterior motives."

"How can Captain Pang's spirit rest in peace in heaven?"

"Please give me a clear warning."

Zhao Wei, who was on the side, did not wait for Liu Zhang to speak. He took over Li Yi's words and comforted Li Yi: "Li Xiaowei, you are loyal, and I can prove it. Ming Gong naturally has no doubts."

"It's just that Bajun has just been pacified, and there is a bit of money and food shortage. Ming Gong intends to conquer Zhang Lu in the future, and he also asked the captain to calm down the thunder and wait for a while."

Li Yi looked dejected when he heard this. As a general, he naturally knew the importance of money and food, so he had to accept this decision.

Then he seemed to have remembered something, and asked Liu Zhang for his orders: "Ming Gong, Zhang Lu's mother, the Lu family, is now in Chengdu. Please kill her first to comfort Captain Pang's spirit in heaven."

"Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Zheng is also in Chengdu. Please kill him as well."

Li Yi gritted his teeth with hatred. Since he couldn't immediately raise an army to attack Zhang Lu, he would kill Zhang Lu's mother and brother first to vent his hatred.

Liu Zhang, who had been overtaken by Zhao Wei just now, did not have any fluctuations in his heart that Zhao Wei had taken the stage while taking away the opportunity to show his trust in Li Yi or to attract Li Yi's loyalty.

For Li Yi, who rebelled with Zhao Wei in history and then killed Zhao Wei anyway when Zhao Wei faced defeat, Li Yi's loyalty was not worth mentioning.

What's more, now that Li Yi's private army has been wiped out by Zhang Lu, it has little value.

However, he could not let Zhao Wei act arbitrarily. He pointed at Zhao Wei and said with some embarrassment: "We gathered together the day before yesterday to discuss the rebellion of the Sou Yi people in the south. We should first appease Zhang Lu and prevent him from causing any changes."

"Zhao Qing had some advice at the time. Zhang Lu's rebellion has not been revealed to the public now. He needs to treat Zhang Lu's mother and brother kindly to correct his feelings."

Hearing this, Li Yi was in a daze and turned to look at Zhao Wei, his and Pang Le's boss for many years, with incomprehensible surprise in his eyes.
