The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 125 Chapter 125
In Lv Bu's Chinese army tent, Zhang Yan, Lv Bu and others sat as guests and hosts, and Chen Gong asked someone to serve wine and food, and warmly entertained Zhang Yan.

"Zhang Andong came from a long way, and Lu Mou is so sorry for being so far away. This glass of wine is an apology for Zhang Andong!" Lu Bu picked up a glass of wine, held it in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhang Yan drank a glass of wine first, and then said: "Brother Lu, you don't have to be so polite. This way, it will make us look a little bit different. On the way I came, I heard that Brother Lu had won consecutive battles, and Cao Cao fled in embarrassment. , was forced to retreat to Puyang, this is the first time I have seen such a brave person as Brother Lu. Speaking of which, I should be the one who toasts Brother Lu and congratulates Brother Lu."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan filled a glass of wine, raised it towards Lu Bu, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, today I will borrow flowers to present Buddha, and I wish Brother Lu can conquer Puyang and kill Cao Cao!"

Zhang Yan drank it down in one gulp, and Lu Bu drank a cup too.

At this moment, Chen Gong who was sitting on the side suddenly asked, "I wonder how many troops Zhang Shijun brought this time?"

"Twenty thousand elite soldiers." Zhang Yan replied truthfully.

"To deal with Cao Cao, 2 people is too little, right?" Chen Gong said expressionlessly.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's less, isn't there still your army? Your army is strong and strong. Brother Fengxian is skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and is unparalleled in the world. What's more, brother Fengxian travels thousands of miles every day and night. Eight hundred, the red rabbits and horses who travel across mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, look around the world, how many people can be enemies with Brother Fengxian?"

After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed loudly, and said loudly, "Well said, what a peerless world! Zhang Andong knows me best...Come, let's drink this cup to the brim!"

Zhang Yan also laughed, raised his wine glass, and had another drink with Lu Bu.

Seeing that Lu Bu was so arrogant, Tai Shici and Xu Chu were not happy in their hearts, and showed a trace of disdain on their faces, but neither of them spoke, and sat there quietly, drinking dull wine alone.

Chen Gong was also drinking too much. Seeing that Zhang Yan had been flattering Lu Bu, Chen Gong was extremely upset, thinking that Zhang Yan must have some purpose in doing so.

Sure enough, after Zhang Yan put down his wine glass, he immediately said to Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, our army has already traveled a long distance and is exhausted. Moreover, some soldiers in the army are not satisfied with the water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, which affects the morale of the entire army. I wanted to lead the army to attack the city tomorrow, but the morale of the army is low, and the soldiers are even more exhausted, they may need to rest for two days, I hope Brother Fengxian can understand."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Lu Bu's face disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly asked: "So, these two days, are you planning to attack the city?"

Zhang Yan sighed heavily, and said, "I'm also powerless. Brother Fengxian will have to take the trouble to lead the army to attack the city in the past two days, but I won't stand by and watch. I will lead some troops to fight against the city. Brother Feng Xian has a strong momentum!"

"Hehe, Zhang Andong, you and I have signed an offensive and defensive alliance, but you suddenly gave our army such a hand. What do you mean? If you don't have the sincerity to cooperate, it is not impossible for our army to attack the city independently. !” Lu Bu sneered.

"Brother Fengxian, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't lead the army to attack the city, but that there is really nothing I can do. Most of the soldiers in the army are not acclimatized, vomiting and diarrhea, have no energy at all, and can't even stand upright. On the battlefield?" Zhang Yan quickly explained.

Chen Gong suddenly interjected: "My lord, this situation in Zhang Shijun's army is beyond anyone's control. Since Zhang Shijun's army needs to rest for two days, let him rest for two days. I The army's fighting over the past few days has also exhausted the soldiers. It just so happens that our army can also take advantage of this opportunity to rest for two days. When Zhang Shijun's army is finished resting, our army will also be rested. At that time, the two armies If we attack the city at the same time, Cao Cao will be unable to take care of the head and tail, and Puyang City will definitely be captured."

Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Chen Gong, and when he saw Chen Gong winking at him, he understood, so he said: "That's fine, if that's the case, then both our armies will rest for two days. However, Zhang Andong must move the troops to Go to the city of Puyang and surround Cao Cao tightly, Cao Cao in the province took advantage of these two days to escape."

"What a Chen Gong, actually saw my intention!" Zhang Yan thought to himself.

He laughed and said, "Of course!"

Afterwards, a group of people sat together and ate and drank, while Lu Bu and Zhang Yan chatted about some irrelevant topics.When the banquet was over, Zhang Yan led Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others out of Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu led Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to send Zhang Yan to the gate of the village, watched Zhang Yan leave, and then turned back to the camp.

"Gongtai, Cao Cao is hiding in Puyang City, but you let me rest for two days. Isn't this giving Cao Cao a chance to breathe? I don't understand why you want me to do this?" Lu Bu frowned, puzzled asked.

Chen Gongdao: "Zhang Yan said that his soldiers are not satisfied with the environment, but it's just an excuse. In fact, he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. He wants our army and Cao Cao to fight with each other, and then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Humph! He His abacus is resounding, but it is a pity that it still cannot escape my discerning eyes."

Lu Bu said angrily: "So Zhang Yan's plan is this way? If Gongtai wasn't by my side, I would have almost been fooled by him! But, Cao Cao would be better off!"

Chen Gongdao: "Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Although our army said it was going to take a break, we can't take advantage of Cao Cao too much. Our army can conduct feint attacks from time to time, harass Cao Cao, and make Cao Cao a frightened bird. In addition, if Zhang Yan's army does not If he moves, our army will not move. Whatever he does, our army will do. Otherwise, I am really worried that after Cao Cao is eliminated, he will bite our army back!"

"Zhang Andong, a benevolent gentleman, since he has signed a covenant with our army, he will definitely not do such a thing. Maybe Zhang Andong's army is indeed caused by the inaccurate environment?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but laugh Can't help but said immediately.

Chen Gong reprimanded sharply: "You brat, what do you know? Zhang Yan's happiness and anger are not visible, and the city is very deep. Don't think that he calls you brother and brother, you can really treat him as your brother. Don't forget , whose subordinate are you, and who is your lord!"

Lu Bu's face also suddenly became gloomy. He glanced at Zhang Liao beside him, lowered his voice, and said slowly, "Wen Yuan, if I find out that you have done something wrong to me, I will never forgive you!"

The voice was not loud, but to Zhang Liao's ears, these words were powerful and shocking.He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Zhang Liao's life was saved by my lord. This life has already been given to my lord. In this life, Zhang Liao will never do anything to offend my lord. Otherwise, let Zhang Liaotian beat you." Five thunders, no place to die!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao expressed his position so excitedly, Lu Bu immediately said, "I don't want to ask too much about the matter between you and Zhang Yan, but how to deal with your relationship in the future, you can do it yourself."

After saying these words, Lu Bu went straight into the camp, and Chen Gong followed closely beside Lu Bu.

Outside the gate, Zhang Liao stood there dumbfounded, watching Lu Bu and Chen Gong disappear into the darkness, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Ah!" Gao Shun, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly sighed softly, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Wen Yuan, you are the lord who knows best, just now the lord said Don’t take it to your heart. From now on, just keep in touch with Zhang Yan less.”

Zhang Liao said aggrievedly: "But Brother Gao, I only met Zhang Yan twice... There is really nothing between us!"

"Since there is nothing, it's better. Ever since the lord has Chen Gongtai by his side, he has become suspicious, and even my words... Forget it, don't mention it. We all follow the lord's adversity Brother, big brother would like to advise you, be more careful in doing things in the future, and don't leave anything in the hands of others..."

"Brother Gao, are you reminding me to beware of Junshi Chen?" Zhang Liao asked in a low voice as his thoughts turned quickly.

Gao Shun smiled without answering, turned around and walked into the camp.

Zhang Liao frowned, feeling confused for a while, what Gao Shun told him meant very clearly, that he wanted to beware of Chen Gong.However, Chen Gong has been advising Lu Bu all the time, and has become an indispensable role around Lu Bu. Why did Gao Shun suddenly tell him these words?

Zhang Liao thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, but he silently remembered what Gao Shun said.

At the same time, Zhang Yan brought Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others back to the barracks. Just as he jumped off his horse, Xu Sheng immediately ran out of the barracks and came to Zhang Yan with a panicked face. Said: "My lord, the scouts came to report. Yu Jin led Chen Ying, Mi Fang, Deng Yi and others, starting from Wuyan, conquered Fanxian County and Dong'e in succession, forcing Cao Jun to retreat to Dongwuyang, and beheaded more than 2000 people. Yu Jin Leading the army to pursue, but encountered Yuan Shaojun's ambush in Cangting, Deng Yi was beheaded by Yuan Jun's general Wen Chou, Yu Jin, Chen Ying, Mi Fang led the crowd to break through, our army suffered heavy losses, and more than 8000 people were killed in battle. Mi Fang and others only survived with more than 2000 remnants. But General Wen Chou of the Yuan Army led the cavalry in pursuit all the way. , led the army to invade other lands, and the counties under Dongping Kingdom and Rencheng Kingdom surrendered without a fight in order to protect themselves. Currently, Wen Chou is stationed in Shouzhang County of Dongping Kingdom."

Hearing this news, Zhang Yan suddenly felt shuddering. Before he could say anything, a scout galloped quickly from outside the camp, came to Zhang Yan, immediately reined in the horse, got off the horse, knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Yuan Shao personally led an army of [-] people. They have crossed from Liyang to the south and have arrived at Baima. The front vanguard is expected to arrive in Puyang at noon tomorrow."

Sure enough, blessings and misfortunes never come singly, Zhang Yan was about to speak, but suddenly heard a scout outside the gate of the village shouting in a long voice: "report—"

The scouts galloped over, and when they reached Zhang Yan, they immediately jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists in a panic and said, "My lord, General Xia Houyuan of the Cao Army suddenly attacked Chen Liu of Lu Bu's army, the prefect of Chen Liu Unable to resist, Zhang Miao retreated to Yongqiu with his younger brother Zhang Chao. In addition, General Cao Jun Xiahou Dun led an army to attack Dingtao in Lu Bujun's Jiyin County..."

A series of news, like snowflakes, flew over concentratedly at this time, making Zhang Yan feel a bit chilled, the sudden appearance of Yuan Shaojun, the sudden surprise attack of Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan, all seemed to be arranged in advance Same……

The problem that worried Zhang Yan the most still appeared. Cao Cao finally teamed up with Yuan Shao...
