The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 595 594 The Burning Yangtze River (34)

As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, a scout walked into the hall with an urgent report, and said loudly to Sun Quan: "Master, Zhu Ran urgent report!"

Sun Quan took the urgent report, read it hastily, and the expression on his face suddenly froze, because Zhu Ran said in the letter that Zhang Fei was going to lead the remnants of his troops into Sichuan and was going to capture Yizhou.

This news made Sun Quan very conflicted after reading it, because Zhu Ran had wronged Zhang Fei once before, and he didn't know whether this time would be the same as last time.

However, judging from this news, Sun Quan felt that it was a bit inconsistent with the facts. There were not even 1000 Zhang Fei's remnants. It was simply impossible for him to lead these tribes to capture Xichuan and occupy Yizhou.Liu Zhang in Yizhou has always been in a peaceful corner and has never communicated with the outside world. Although it is impossible to know how many soldiers Liu Zhang has, in Sun Quan's view, if Liu Zhang does not have [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, it is not enough to deter the entire Yizhou. state.Moreover, [-] soldiers and horses is only the lowest number. In his opinion, Yizhou occupied by Liu Zhang is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and there will only be more soldiers and horses, not fewer.

Just imagine, Zhang Fei took the remnants of less than 1000 people to capture Yizhou, unless Liu Zhang ordered to give up all resistance and let Zhang Fei take the soldiers and horses directly to the city of Chengdu, and Liu Zhang also named Zhang Fei. Fly singled out.Otherwise, no matter how powerful Zhang Fei is, he would never be able to break through the many passes in Yizhou and reach the city of Chengdu.

After a while, Sun Quan threw Zhu Ran's letter on the corner of the table, and said angrily in his heart: "This Zhu Ran, I remember that his father has assisted my father and elder brother successively, and he is very kind to my Sun family." There is a great credit, otherwise, he would have been beheaded long ago. The incident last time was already unpleasant, and I also asked Zhu Zhi to punish Zhu Ran severely. I didn’t expect him to still not repent, and tried to harm Zhang Fei again. Now Guan Yu is dead, if Zhang Fei is forced to escape by him again, I will not spare him!"

Therefore, Sun Quan still issued his own order, ordering people to go to Guangzhou, first remove Zhu Ran from the position of governor of Guangzhou, and then bring him back to Nanchang, and he will personally punish him severely.

After the order was issued, Sun Quan asked Chen Dao to stay in the city for a few days, and then put Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang in the dungeon in front of Chen Dao.

After that, Sun Quan said some heart-warming words and asked Chen Dao to stay in Nanchang for his use.

The death of Guan Yu gave Chen Dao a certain blow. He was absent-minded, but he still nodded in agreement with what Sun Quan said.

In the end, Sun Quan asked Chen Dao to rest in the post house. After Chen Dao left, Sun Quan ordered Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang to be released, and asked them to stay by his side for the time being. He also said that everything that happened just now was just a pretense for Chen Dao to see.

Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang were very grateful to Sun Quan, so naturally they had nothing to say, and said that they would never do such a thing again.

Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "The crime is only Zhu Ran's. It has nothing to do with you and others. But now it is a critical moment. I have to do this deliberately in front of Chen Dao. I hope you will understand. These days, you will stay by my side first. Well, as soon as there is any movement, I will send you to another place."

In fact, in Zhou Yu’s letter to Sun Quan, the pressure from Chaisang was more or less mentioned. Zhou Yu had elite soldiers, but no strong generals. Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong were all young men selected by Sun Quan from the army. General, martial arts are very good, just can be sent to Zhou Yu for some experience.

In contrast, they are easier to use than Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others. After all, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai are all veterans, and their seniority in the army is too high to be willing to work under Zhou Yu. Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, Tan Xiong and others were different. They were newly promoted generals and absolutely obeyed Sun Quan's arrangements.

After Chen Dao bid farewell to Sun Quan, he first went to the post house, and then went directly from the post house to the place where the families of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei lived.

Sun Quan arranged all the family members of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in a courtyard for the convenience of monitoring and management.

They live in a courtyard with three entrances. Liu Bei's family lives in the innermost, Guan Yu's family lives in the outermost, and Zhang Fei's family lives in the middle. The three families live in harmony and enjoy themselves happily. , but know nothing about it.

Chen arrived once before, and found it based on the route he remembered, but he didn't rush in, but wandered around the manor first.

As a result, Chen Dao discovered that there were many suspicious people outside the manor, all of them pretending to be traders, monitoring every move inside from all directions.Although they try their best to cover up and hide them, Chen Dao can still spot them at a glance, because their walking steps and postures are unique to soldiers.Moreover, there was a sharp edge in their eyes, none of which could escape Chen Dao's eyes, and Chen Dao could see it at a glance.

"Now that the second master is dead, this place is under surveillance again. There are too many three families. It is very difficult to take these people out..." Chen Dao thought silently in his heart, "The second master is dead, now I can only go to the third master, but where is the third master?"

Chen Daoxiang's head was getting dizzy, and he still couldn't think of how to bring these family members out, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and walked towards the mansion with a big swagger.

When Chen arrived at the gate, he happened to meet Guan Xing and Zhang Bao at the gate, waving their guns and clubs, attacking each other, the sound of "Tuo Tuo Tuo" kept ringing, and the two teenagers were fighting heartily. , did not see Chen Dao walking towards them at all.

Chen Dao stopped at the gate, watched Guan Xing and Zhang Bao intently, and saw that they were serious about it. Although they were holding wooden sticks, what they were dancing were saber and spear respectively, and the moves they used were different. It was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's moves, which made him couldn't help but see that these two people had some shadows of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on them, and judging by their skills, they were also very good. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are like fierce generals.

Just when Chen Dao was fascinated by it, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Pian Pian boy ran out of the mansion, saw Guan Xing and Zhang Bao fighting inextricably, and immediately reprimanded him: "Both Stop it!"

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao didn't listen to the boy at all, they kept fighting non-stop, and didn't pay attention to the boy who ran out at all.

Perhaps the young man was in a hurry, so he picked up a wooden stick from the side and joined the battle circle. After stabbing left and right, he separated Guan Xing and Zhang Bao. He stood in the middle and looked at each other one after another. After looking at Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, he said angrily, "I won't let you fight anymore, can't you all hear me?"

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao said in unison: "He hit me first!"

The young man sternly said: "If you can't make a slap, both of you are responsible. If I find you fighting like this again next time, I will not take it lightly! Go back to my house!"

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao both muttered and walked into the mansion angrily, like a rooster who has lost a fight, not daring to be stubborn in front of that young man.

After Guan Xing and Zhang Bao entered, the young man glanced at Chen Dao who was walking towards him, his eyes suddenly lit up, he hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chen, why are you here? Are you here?"

This person was none other than Guan Yu's eldest son, Guan Ping, who was a few years older than Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, so he was more sensible.

Chen Dao definitely knew Guan Ping. He was not a few years older than Guan Ping, and he had also studied martial arts with Guan Yu, so he was considered a senior brother, so Guan Ping always called Chen Dao his eldest brother.

"This is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk!" Chen Dao grabbed Guan Ping and whispered.

Guan Ping's sharp eyes quickly scanned the surroundings outside the mansion, then nodded, and said to Chen Dao: "Brother Chen, come in with me!"

Chen Dao followed Guan Ping into the mansion, and when he came to the living room, Guan Ping ordered the maidservant to bring tea, and he held up the tea and said to Chen Dao, "Brother Chen, you know that father never allows us to drink alcohol, so There is only tea at home and no wine, please forgive me, brother Chen."

Chen Daodao: "It's okay. I don't usually drink much. By the way, what happened at the door just now, do Guan Xing and Zhang Bao often fight like this?"

Guan Ping said: "Well, the two of them are the most naughty and often cause trouble, but neither of them will accept the other. Guan Xing said that my father is the most powerful, and Zhang Bao said that his father is the most powerful. When the two of them couldn't argue, they fought hard. It's not once or twice. However, Brother Chen, don't worry, they are still young, and when they get older and understand something, they won't be what they are now."

Chen Dao nodded and said, "Second master and third master are not here, you have to support the whole mansion by yourself, and you have to take care of the affairs of the three families. It's really difficult for you."

"I can't say it's difficult. My aunt usually handles these trivial matters at home. I'm mainly responsible for taking care of my younger brothers and sisters. As long as they don't cause trouble, nothing will happen in the house." Guan Ping said.

"The third lady is dignified and virtuous, so it's hard for her." Chen Dao knew that the aunt Guan Ping mentioned was Zhang Fei's wife, Mrs. Xiahou. Mrs. Xiahou was Xiahouyuan's niece. Zhang Fei met Mrs. Xiahou by chance. Since then, they have become husband and wife, which is also a good story.

Afterwards, Chen Dao changed the subject and immediately asked, "This place has been closely monitored by Sun Quan's people, do you know?"

"I know! But there is nothing we can do. After all, we are dependent on others." Guan Ping said.

Chen Daodao: "The second master sent me here this time to take you all away. You stay in the mansion for a few days first, and let me take you away after I think of a way."

Guan Ping excitedly said: "Really?"

Chen Dao nodded, but he never dared to tell Guan Ping and the others the news of Guan Yu's death in battle, for fear that they would not be able to accept the fact.

Afterwards, Chen Dao bid farewell to Guan Ping, returned to the posthouse alone, and began to rack his brains to think of a way to rescue them.
