Lu's relatives

Chapter 435 Yin people are always Yin!

It will be light.The sound of horseshoes came from the northwest direction of Yecheng.Liu Bei, who hadn't slept well all night, was surrounded by Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, and Youzhou soldiers and generals behind him.

Today is the day we agreed with Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, to join forces.If there was no such thing as last night, Liu Bei must be full of joy.But now, under the premise of still looking forward to, there is a little more uneasiness that I have never felt before.Liu Bei couldn't tell where this anxiety came from. After thinking hard last night, it was only because of the regret that so many excellent black mountain bandits cannon fodder, but they can only be used once.

"How can you allow other people to snore on the side of the couch!" Liu Bei looked at the approaching Black Mountain bandit army, muttering something in his mouth, and the cruelty in his eyes flashed past.The smile on his face grew stronger with the arrival of Zhang Yan, who was the first to bear the brunt.

"The sinful minister Zhang Yan, you are late to join Liu Shijun! The real crime deserves death!" At this moment, Zhang Yan completely lost the arrogance and arrogance he had when he was in Yuan Xi's mansion in Yecheng. Kind of sincere.And when Liu Bei asked Gongsun Zan to send troops to Jizhou, Gongsun Zan appointed Tian Kai as Qingzhou governor. Originally, when Yuan Tan asked to inherit Yuan Shao's "inheritance", he expressed the official position given to his second brother Yuan Xi. Gongsun Zan's intention is self-evident.Liu Bei could be regarded as being prompted by Gongsun Zan's "good intentions", and finally obtained the exclusive title that should have belonged to him.

"General Zhang is too polite. What virtue can Bei have? It is flattering to have volunteers from Montenegro! Besides, General Zhang arrived early in the morning, which shows sincerity, but Bei's place is simple and neglected! I'm neglecting you!" Under the halo of the pig's feet, Liu Bei seemed to have an irresistible charisma in his dealings with others.Coupled with Liu Bei's "guilty heart" at the moment, he seemed even more modest, and in front of Zhang Yan, he really acted like a benevolent master.

"Liu Shijun... No, my lord! Zhang Yan is a vulgar person who doesn't understand etiquette. I am so grateful to my lord for treating me so well, I dare not die to repay it!" Zhang Yan showed a grateful look, and wanted to pay respects when he dismounted from his horse, but was rejected by Liu Bei. Embracing it with one hand, with four eyes facing each other, Liu Bei's eyes were full of tears, which made Zhang Yan Haoxuan startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, lest he couldn't help laughing and let it go, he paused for a while After a while, he changed the subject and said in a passionate tone: "I don't know when the lord is going to attack Yecheng? Zhang is willing to be the vanguard and lead [-] elite soldiers under his command to attack this city for the lord!"

"Ah! Not busy, not busy!" Liu Bei didn't want to scare Yuan Xi, who had finally let go, because of Zhang Yan's "impulsiveness". Seeing Zhang Yan's appearance, it seemed that he didn't know the black bandit Liu Bei, who originally planned to make two-handed preparations, also encountered difficulties for a while.That matter cannot be concealed.As long as Zhang Yan returns to the camp and Chu Cheng is gone, he will definitely ask questions. Liu Bei will not believe that Zhang Yan will be like a poison, and will be "deceived" by such a cheap pretense of asking Chu Cheng to drink.Even though Zhang Yan looks like he is returning to his heart now, Chu Cheng is Zhang Yan's follower after all, and he inherited Zhang Yan's own surname. If it is known that Chu Cheng is in custody, it is really impossible to say whether Zhang Yan, the black mountain bandit leader who is angry, will cause any trouble.Liu Bei was not afraid of Zhang Yan's troubles, but if the matter in Yecheng was delayed, it would not be what Liu Bei wanted to see.But if you don't let Zhang Yan go back, let alone this group of people who are "travelling", they rushed here just after dawn, as long as Zhang Yan casually says that the soldiers are exhausted, Liu Bei really has no way to keep him. After thinking about it, Liu Bei could only continue to hold Zhang Yan's big oily hand, forced himself to express some relief, and said, "General Zhang rushed here early in the morning, it must be very hard work! This place is not a place for conversation. How about ordering the lieutenant generals to set up camp on the spot, prepare and prepare thin wine, first wash the dust for General Zhang, and then deal with the affairs of Yecheng?"

"My lord is so loving, how can Zhang, a rough man, bear it?" Zhang Yan pretended to be clear, and looked like he had easily entered Liu Bei's barracks without any thought. It was a hideous face, but it could Showing a bit of simple and honest look, he said to Liu Bei: "To be honest, my lord, don't look at the brother who claims to have millions of people under his command, but what kind of strength is there? It's a million mouths waiting to be fed! This wine, Hehe, brother, I haven’t tasted it for a long time.”

"It's okay! It's okay! Yesterday, my nephew was left in the army to drink, and he still hasn't woken up yet!" Hearing what Zhang Yan said, it made Liu Bei's suspicion that Zhang Yan deliberately let himself relax his vigilance faded a lot.It is also thanks to the "no-promise" of the Black Mountain bandit soldiers in the past few days, but Liu Bei's army has really seen what is called the legend of the hungry wolf. For a corn pancake, Zhang Yan seems to have said it inadvertently. His self-deprecating words have convinced many people.Naturally, Liu Bei also took advantage of this opportunity to explain the matter of detaining Chu Cheng last night in a different way, which can be regarded as a better excuse, at least before Yecheng succeeded, Zhang Yan would not let Zhang Yan mobilize troops because of Chu Cheng's matter. to attack.

"This kid is lucky! It's just too much trouble for the lord! Just let him sleep enough!" Just as Liu Bei expected, Zhang Yan just blushed slightly after hearing this, as if he was embarrassed because he caused trouble to Liu Bei Yes, just casually coped with a few words, did not continue to ask.The mind seems to be attracted by the things that Liu Bei said about drinking and drinking.

"That's great! General Zhang, please!" Seeing Zhang Yan approaching, Dang even in front of Liu Bei ordered the Heishan school not to go with the Heishan bandits who hadn't woken up yet and the forward Heishan who had come here earlier The elite soldiers will make peace, but set up camp on the spot, waiting for Liu Bei's orders.Seeing that the Heishan bandits who came with Zhang Yan sat on the ground in an instant after hearing this order, 2 people yawned, making Liu Bei feel like he was about to yawn, so he hurriedly dragged Zhang Yan away. Walking towards the army with his hand, he did not lose his composure on the spot.

After all, it is not yet Chen's hour, and there is no big fish or meat to entertain Zhang Yan.They just called the Huotou Army, killed each of the pigs and sheep, cut them into large pieces and threw them into the cauldron, and served them with only black sauce. Although it was rough, the quantity was enough, which was enough to show Liu Bei's sincerity.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan ate and drank for a while, and expressed his loyalty to Liu Bei, and was appeased by Liu Bei for a while to arrange a rest, that the drums in the army sounded. Liu Bei was also happy to prevent the soldiers under his command from seeing the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, Zhang Yan, and his party.However, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yan is still devouring it now, Liu Bei is really afraid that time will be delayed for a long time. If Zhang Yan asks about Chu Cheng again, before the letter comes from Yecheng, he can only He kept urging Zhang Yan to drink.

Emperor Tian lived up to Liu Xuande.Just when the sky was getting dark, and even a strong man like Zhang Yan was a bit full, and Liu Bei was almost at the end of his words, the envoy from Yecheng who Liu Bei had been waiting for finally arrived late, saying that he had already "can't wait." "When Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan who wanted to meet Liu Bei, was already waiting on the city wall of Yecheng, Liu Bei, who was disgusted by listening to Zhang Yan's babbling, was saved. Zhang Yan, who was full, went to see it together.

Liu Bei was finally relieved by the news of Yuan Xi, but he didn't know that Zhang Yan was also relieved.A pig weighs more than 100 catties, and a mouthful of sheep weighs more than [-] catties. Even if Zhang Yan is really the reincarnation of gluttony, it is impossible for him to eat so much black sauce that is boiled in white water and salty when he wakes up in the morning!But in front of Liu Bei, even if Zhang Yan ate too much meat and was greasy and wanted to vomit, he had to continue to suppress the resentment that his illegitimate son Chu Cheng was detained by Liu Bei, and chewed the half-baked pig and sheep, and poured it on his stomach. Drinking bad wine, you have to pretend to be enjoying it, so that Liu Bei won't see any flaws, almost using your old life to buy time for that "ally" Yuan Xi, and it's hard for him.

When Liu Bei and Zhang Yan left the barracks one after the other, it was already midnight, and the Heishan bandits and Youzhou soldiers had already received the letter from the two commanders and were ready to go.Perhaps because of what happened last night, the military forces of the two sides are very different, and they don't like each other very much.Liu Bei and Zhang Yan turned a blind eye to the situation, and rode away together as before, talking and laughing.Liu Bei has already ordered his confidant Chen to see an opportunity. If there is no change in Yecheng and the Heishan bandit army, he will secretly release Chu Cheng after his own army enters the city, and find another opportunity for Zhang Yan to accompany him. No, it's over.Liu Bei is confident that after winning Yecheng, he can persuade his soldiers not to continue to entangle this matter with his three-inch tongue. Of course, this is under the condition that the Black Mountain bandits are still obedient. At worst, he can just make up a separate reason to transfer this hatred It’s also good to go to other places. For example, my third brother who has not been rescued until now. Compared with a small guard, the three generals are still in the enemy camp. This excuse should be easy to divert hatred, right?Of course, if the Heishan bandits don’t change their minds, and the doubt is that Yecheng has changed and the Heishan bandits are needed as cannon fodder, then it’s a different matter. It happens to be possible to expose this matter in the name of protecting the young master of Heishan. Liu Bei is right and left. However, Liu Bei has a lot of tricks for manipulating people's hearts.

It’s no wonder that Liu Bei made two-handed preparations. To be honest, until now, compared to the black mountain bandits who were “facilitated” by Kong Rong and were guarded by Liu Bei, behind Zhang Yan’s troops, Guan Yu has arranged more than [-] people to monitor them. For Yuan Xi's sudden "dedication of the city", of course, it can also be said that it is just a matter of handing over defense, and Liu Bei has maintained full precautions.He Liu Bei is the ancestor who manipulated people's hearts, and after more than ten years of wasting, what has he not seen?Naturally, he would not believe that such a good thing would happen to him for no reason.Therefore, although Liu Bei kept Zhang Yan by his side this time, he also brought Zhao Yun, the general of his personal guard, by his side, and even put a part of the black mountain bandits brought by Zhang Yan at the front of the army, fighting like if Yuan Xi was "Sincerely" to meet each other in the city, it's okay to say, the master of power, no matter what, there must be a pomp, and the left and right can also set off Liu Bei's power.If Yuan Xi is cheating this time, it's just right!From Kong Rong's letter to Zhang Yan's arrival just now, Liu Bei has always placed the position of the black mountain bandit on the role of cannon fodder and selection of the strong, and they will all be dismissed to enrich the population.As for the promise to Zhang Yan through Kong Rong's words at the beginning, why lead an army by yourself, listen to Xuan's words, just kidding!He Liu Bei is the "royal family" and the governor of Jizhou who is about to be confirmed. It is already a favor to give them a way to survive. How could he choose to cooperate with the bandits for a long time?
"My lord, the gates of Yecheng haven't been opened yet!" Liu Bei and Zhang Yan rode out of Yecheng together, each with their own scheming plans, but it was unexpected, but expected, and it was a good deal. General Yuan Xi, who entered the city with Liu Bei's army, did not appear, and the gates of Yecheng, which had a thick city wall, were still closed. Zhao Yun, who followed Liu Bei and was more used to guard against Zhang Yan, frowned and said.

"Could it be that this little boy Yuan Xi is cheating?" Zhao Yun, who found Liu Bei's side, and after discovering the strange situation in Yecheng, his gaze that was already fixed on him became more vigilant, making him Indeed, he had the intention to capture or kill Liu Bei directly, and then rushed to the area before the black mountain bandit who Liu Bei had placed in front of the formation happily.But now that Zhao Yun is by his side, Zhang Yan's prestige to Zhao Yun is also very popular, so he can only put aside this tempting thought for a while, and immediately put on a look of righteous indignation, cupped his hands and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, let me go and call Brothers, come here and ask Yuan Xi to give you an explanation, my lord."

"Huh? Huh! Let's go, General Zhang!" The number of people speaking was over ten thousand, boundless. Liu Bei, who was a little skeptical of Zhang Yan's sudden excessive enthusiasm, turned around and saw that there was no military discipline at all. The lazy marching of the Heishan bandits was almost about to overwhelm the Youzhou soldiers. Liu Bei, who was suddenly taken aback, also knew that there were only 6 or [-] Heishan bandits, and perhaps only Zhang Yan could do it. It's restrained, and at this time, there is also a change in Yecheng, Liu Bei has no intention of guessing Zhang Yan's intentions for a while, so he can only agree to Zhang Yan's "request" quite silently, let Zhang Yan leave, and concentrate on dealing with it The current situation.

"Liu Bei! My lord, may I ask! Jiyou and Youzhou have already stopped fighting! You are in the administration of Youzhou! Why do you offend our state and county for no reason?" At this time, there was no amplification equipment, so the basic communication was by roaring. Zhongdu specially raised a few loud voices for training to deal with the situation like today.Not to mention, when these more than ten people yelled together, they really sent their voices far away, even Liu Bei and the soldiers of the "Allied Army" rear army in Montenegro could vaguely hear them clearly.

"Huh?" Liu Bei almost laughed out of anger.This Yuan Xi child is too lazy!This is also a bit nonsensical.I have led an army and have been stationed outside Ye City for several days, and there are also several letters between inside and outside the city, why did it suddenly become that I came here for no reason?Didn't he just say that he wanted his own soldiers to help guard Yecheng?However, Liu Bei was Liu Bei after all, and seeing Yuan Xifang's questioning like this, he also understood that today's affairs could not be good.Although I don't know where Yuan Xi's confidence came from, could it be that he really thought that with his [-] Jizhou soldiers and the strength of the city of Ye, he could resist the combined nearly [-] soldiers from filling the city with their lives?

"Son Yuan Xi! You are so rude! Is this the Yuan family's way of treating guests like this? If you hadn't begged someone to help you defend Yecheng from Cao Cao and Lu Bu's attack, why would we bother to come here?" So?" Liu Bei naturally had loud soldiers "assisting" Liu Bei to answer.However, Mr. Zhang did it for him on weekdays, and he was not prepared for such emergencies, so his momentum was inevitably lowered.

"Ha! Liu Zhizhong, do you think that my lord, Yuan Gongyuxi, also lures wolves into the house like Tao Gongzu? Besides, the war between Hebei and Youzhou has just reached peace. Even if my lord has invited foreign aid, why would he ask his old enemy to come to help him? Liu Zhizhong is just rhetoric! Besides, even if Liu Zhizhong is really a gentleman, why does he pretend to be the governor of Jizhou and deceive himself and others!" Then he shouted loudly again.

"Go and order Zhang Yan, let his subordinates surround Yecheng, listen to my orders, and prepare to go to war!" Originally, Liu Bei would not be so easily fooled by such low-level aggressive tactics, anyway, he spent more than ten years in the battlefield However, these days, I was overjoyed at first because of "getting more help from the Tao", and then I was very sad because I failed to attack Pingyuan and fell to Zhang Fei, and my heart was hurt by it. , but history has proved that it is just a good pretend, but in fact it is also a quick temper.After hearing Yuan Xi's upside-down, blind-eyed nonsense, how could he control the anger in his heart?Although his face was still calm and unwavering, Zhao Yun, who was familiar with Liu Bei, could still see the anger in Liu Bei's heart at the moment from Liu Bei's slightly trembling hands holding the rein.

"Little Yuan Xi! Do you dare to come out and see him!" Seeing Zhao Yun turning his horse's head to find someone and ordering Liu Bei to go, Liu Bei signaled to the loud soldiers who gathered beside him, and shouted to Yecheng.Seeing that Zhao Yun hadn't passed by for a while, the Black Mountain Army behind him had already made some movements. Liu Bei only thought that Zhang Yan had "loyally" carried out his order, and managed to calm down.And shouting this sentence, Liu Bei's meaning is also very simple, it is inexplicable to see if Yuan Xi is in the city this time, and if he breaks Yecheng in a short while, and then receives the news of Yuan Xi's escape, that would be terrible. I can't solve the hatred.

"Why don't you dare! How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? You, Liu Bei, dare to violate my Yuan family's foundation, and you deceive each other with clever words and sell your name! Do you think no one will see through your trick! As the son of the Yuan family, a certain Why don't you dare to meet?" Yuan Xi's reply through the dozen or so loud soldiers was the same as what Liu Bei had said to himself a few hours ago, making Liu Bei laugh outright, little baby, I also know how to allow others to snore on the side of the couch? !
