The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 120

Within a few days, Liu Bei finished reorganizing the army and led an army of [-] to Yizhou to support Liu Zhang in fighting against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

The generals under his leadership include Liu Bi, Gong Du, Liao Hua, Du Yuan, Xia Houlan, Wei Yan, Wenpin, Huo Jun, Pan Lin, and Huang Zhong.

Under the leadership of Zhang Song, Liu Bei's army marched mightily, entering Xichuan and coming to Yizhou unimpeded.

When Liu Zhang got the news, he hurriedly led civil and military officials out of the city to greet him with grand etiquette.

When Liu Bei and Liu Zhang met for the first time, tears filled their eyes. They are not many Han family members. It is not easy to persevere until now, and they have gone through many difficulties.

The two were very speculative, and they chatted for a long time before they entered the city. Liu Bei saw that Liu Zhang was dissatisfied with the general, and he understood it, so he quickly ordered all the troops to be stationed outside the city, and only led the general and Liu Zhang into the city.

Seeing Liu Bei's actions, Liu Zhang's heart warmed up, he glanced at his hand and martial arts, and said with a wink, "Look, I'll say that Liu Bei is my brother of the Han clan, and he will never try to take my city and do harm to me."

His generals and counselors turned blue and white one after another, and forcibly endured it.

After entering the city, Liu Zhang hosted a banquet to welcome Liu Bei. At the banquet, Liu Zhang asked why the famous Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not come. Liu Bei replied with a smile, they are guarding Jingzhou, Jingzhou is their foundation, so they have to be more careful.

Liu Zhang quickly understood that Liu Bei and Sun Quan had some conflicts, and Liu Bei came all the way to Yizhou to help him for himself. This kindness is really rare.

Feeling a little moved, I thought about it for a while, and thought that Liu Bei didn't lead many troops, so I said, "Zhang Lu's army is aggressive, and my brother's army is very small. I intend to let my brother command an elite army, the Baishui Army, to help Give me a helping hand, brother!"

Liu Bei was touched, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother, Bei will definitely defeat Zhang Lu's army, so that he dare not take half a step into Yizhou."

Liu Zhang nodded with a smile, and wanted to hand over the Baishui Army's sword order to Liu Bei, but at this moment someone suddenly coughed, it turned out to be the counselor Liu Ba.

Liu Zhang was puzzled, and saw Liu Ba stood up and said with a smile, "My lord, although the Baishui army is elite, it cannot exert its power without the command of familiar generals. Why don't you let the two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei assist Liu Shijun?" , so that the power of the White Water Army can be brought into play!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately approved by Liu Zhang's counselors and generals. One of the generals, Zhang Ren, had a gleam in his eyes, and stood up directly to persuade, "The two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei are the captains of the Baishui Army. I know the command like the palm of my hand, I think Liu Shijun will be satisfied!"

Said, glanced at Liu Bei, Liu Bei could only smile and nod.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Zhang Ren sneered in his heart, then cast a look at Yang Huai Gao Pei that you know, and sat down again.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei looked at each other, knowing that they were just asking them to supervise Liu Bei.

After being stunned for a while, Liu Zhang was a little embarrassed. It was originally a good intention, but he didn't expect such a misunderstanding to be caused by a sentence from his subordinates.

He sighed in his heart, he has been in a high position for a long time, why can't he hear the mysterious sounds, but he can only say, "What do you think, brother?"

Liu Bei had no choice but to stand up and clasped his hands and said, "Since there are generals who are proficient in the White Water Army, Bei is naturally overjoyed. The chances of defeating Zhang Lu are one more point!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was not angry, Liu Zhang felt relieved and said with a smile, "Okay, then let the two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei lead the Baishui Army to follow my brother to resist Zhang Lu. The two generals need to obey my brother's command."

Yang Huai Gaopei quickly got up and took the order, "Obey!"

The banquet broke up unhappy, everyone pretended to be confused, only Liu Bei and Liu Zhang kept smiling and talked a lot.

The subordinates of the two were serious in secret, and their eyes flashed sharp lightning from time to time, Zhang Ren was the worst among them.

On Liu Bei's side, it was naturally Wei Yan who counterattacked, and he stared back without any scruples. The only military adviser who followed, Pang Tong, smiled and did not stop him.

Pang Tong naturally has his reasons for doing so. How can he break the deadlock of harmony without causing conflicts?
Liu Zhang can't be provocative, but his subordinates can!In particular, military commanders are born with pride and are particularly easy to use.

Not only Wei Yan, Wenpin, Huo Jun, Huang Zhong, Xia Houlan, Liu Pi, Gongdu, Liao Hua, Du Yuan, Pan Lin, etc. were all shooting cold arrows. In an instant, the generals of the two camps were not afraid of the secret rivalry. with.

Finally, after the banquet was over, Zhang Lu arranged for Liu Bei's army to temporarily stay in nearby Peicheng, and soon went to the front to resist Zhang Lu.

The next day, when Liu Bei went back to have a banquet with Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's subordinates dissuaded him from going to the Hongmen banquet. After thinking over and over again, Liu Zhang felt that Liu Bei would not harm him, so he went in a carriage.

Only a few generals followed, Zhang Ren, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Liu Gui, Ling Bao, Deng Xian, Li Yan, Li Hui, Meng Da, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong.

This time it was indeed a Hongmen banquet, but Liu Bei was unwilling, so the military adviser Pang Tong privately ordered Xia Houlan to assassinate Liu Zhang on the spot with a sword.

Because Xia Houlan's reputation is not obvious, but her swordsmanship is quite good, she can reduce her attention and succeed in plotting.

And when they came, Xiahoulan had been standing behind. The people on Liu Zhang's side would definitely think that Xiahoulan was an insignificant person. They didn't know that Xiahoulan was just indifferent.

The banquet began soon. Liu Zhang and Liu Bei sat side by side, and the two sides sat on each side. After drinking for three rounds, Pang Tong laughed and said, "My lord, you need to have fun drinking, but at this time, when you first arrive, you don't bring a dancer, why not?" Just let people dance swords to help Yaxing?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhang's subordinates, Zhang Ren and others immediately became vigilant, and looked at Pang Tong with unfriendly eyes.

Pang Tong smiled and didn't seem to see it. Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine, let's dance the sword for fun!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Zhang, and saw that Liu Zhang was a little scared, his expression was extremely unnatural, and he was in a cold sweat. Liu Bei quickly comforted Liu Zhang, "Don't worry, brother, brother is here!"

Sure enough, Liu Zhang felt more relieved when he heard this, and he also smiled, but it was a little unnatural.

Pang Tong ordered, "Xia Houlan, dance your sword to help you enjoy yourself!"

"Yes!" Xia Houlan stood up.

Xia Houlan slowly drew out the long sword from her waist. It was a cold long sword with dazzling light.

The sword dance started, and the swaying was full of elegance and charm, so beautiful that Liu Zhang couldn't help admiring it.

But he didn't know that the danger was approaching step by step, getting closer, one step, two steps, three steps.

Soon Xia Houlan approached Liu Zhang, with a flash of coldness in her eyes, she was about to make a move. Suddenly, Zhang Ren stood up with a bang, "I'm here to help too!"

With a sound of swiping, she drew out her sword and stabbed at Xiahoulan. Xiahoulan gritted her teeth and flashed a cold light. Regardless of her own danger, the long sword stabbed at Liu Zhang like lightning.

Zhang Ren can't believe that there are such people who are not afraid of death?

Before he had time to think about it, he could only return his sword to save Liu Zhang. The two swords clanged and sparked when they collided. Although it was extremely dangerous, Zhang Ren rescued Liu Zhang in a dangerous manner.

Liu Zhang swallowed, looking at Xia Houlan who was fighting against Zhang Ren, he was terrified. The general's sword had pierced his face just now, and he still felt the sting of the cold wind.

Liu Bei was afraid that Xia Houlan would suffer, so he slapped the table hard and scolded, "Stop it all, step back!"

It was said that Xia Houlan and Zhang Ren had no choice but to stop, and Zhang Ren didn't want to continue the fight. Although this general was not his opponent, Liu Bei had a lot of people here.
