"What?" Li Jue shouted, "There are thirty cavalry formations outside the city? Where are the troops? And why are they here?"
Li Jue's subordinates reported back: "Yes, General, it doesn't look like the Forbidden Army in Guanzhong, it should be from Longxi... The leader said... said... said he wanted to avenge Ma, General Ma..."
"General Ma? That General Ma?" Li Jue raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed, "Oh... Hahahaha, is it the brat of the Ma family who is here to take revenge? Hahahaha, okay, I still have some courage, let's go
, go and have a look..."
After climbing the city wall, Li Jue saw more than 30 horsemen standing within a stone's throw of the city. When he saw Li Jue's head exposed, he immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs. His voice was stiff. It was indeed the accent from Longxi.
.
"Li Thief! Come down and die!" When Ma Chao saw Li Jue's figure, he couldn't help but beat his head with blood, and shouted while waving his spear.
Speaking of which, the current vocabulary and polysemy of the Han Dynasty are not as weird and colorful as those of later generations. Zhuzi and thief are already relatively serious words. If you add shameless, unsentimental, unfaithful and unscrupulous words,
, it is already an insult so extreme that it will make people blush and feel ashamed.
Li Jue stood on the city wall, patting the battlements and laughing: "Hahahaha, he is really a cub of the Ma family! What's wrong, do you want to follow your stupid father to the underworld?"
Ma Chao angrily bent his bow and shot an arrow at Li Jue, but this angry arrow only hit the city wall below Li Jue. It did not even touch Li Jue's oily skin, which caused Li Jue's anger.
Jue burst into laughter.
Ma Chao became even more anxious and angry, and even seemed to vent his anger on the long bow. He threw the bow at his feet and let the horses trample him, but he waved the long gun and roared at the top of his lungs...
Li Jue smiled and looked around.
Laughter can be a good medicine.
The annoyance and worry that had accumulated in Li Jue's heart for the past few days suddenly seemed to be a lot more relaxed without even realizing it. Looking at Ma Chao's troops under the city, Li Jue suddenly felt something in his heart.
He brought thirty knights with him, all of whom had the courage to come for revenge and challenge. Although such revenge and challenge were so ridiculous in Li Jue's eyes, it gave Li Jue a brand new incentive.
Nowadays, the soldiers who follow Li Jue can be regarded as his confidants all the time. However, due to the continuous battles during Li Jue's time in Guanzhong, these confidants have become less and less.
On this day, he saw Ma Chao shouting outside the city. Although it was funny, Li Jue finally woke up from the decadence of the past few days and suddenly realized why he had to be trapped here?
Although Li Jue didn't understand what it means to take a step back to open up the world, it didn't stop Li Jue from understanding that he still had a way out. As long as he returned to Xiliang and gathered strength again, he might not be able to fight back one day!
After thinking about it, Li Jue felt a little at ease, so he didn't take Ma Chao's clamor too seriously. He waved his hand and said, "Let them go! I'm in a good mood today and won't argue with this brat!"
However, Ma Chao was unwilling to retreat like this, and he continued to yell and curse at the city gate without mercy.
Li Jue was just thinking about what to say to his subordinates and where to go next, but he was disturbed by Ma Chao who was outside the city saying "old thief" to the left and "old ghost" to the right. He couldn't help but feel angry and shouted: "
Damn you brat! Since you want to die, I will send you to be reunited with your damn father!" After saying this, he fired up three hundred cavalrymen, lowered the drawbridge and rushed out of the city, preparing to kill Ma Chao in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Li Jue had finally taken action, Ma Chao slowly let out a long breath.
For Ma Chao, storming the county seat is obviously a recipe for death. Only by letting Li Jue leave the city can he have a chance to defeat and kill him. But before that, Ma Chao had no idea whether Li Jue would accept his challenge or leave the city.
But at the moment, Ma Chao's big gamble has basically won...
Seeing Li Jue coming out of the battle, Ma Chao went forward with thirty horses to meet him. They fought and walked away, but unknowingly they had strayed away from the foot of Chiyang City.
Li Jue originally thought that he could take down Ma Chao, a young boy, in one fell swoop as long as he took action, but he never thought that Ma Chao was so naughty and failed several times to contain him. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
Chase and fight fiercely.
If you can't even handle this first yellow-haired kid, how can you talk about making a comeback?
Just when Li Jue was furious and furious, a whistle suddenly sounded, and he saw more than two hundred riders pouring out of the woods on the side, roaring loudly and coming to kill them!
not good!
Fell into a trap!
Li Jue suddenly woke up at this moment and wanted to turn around and go back to the city, but he couldn't make it in time. He was suddenly hit by more than two hundred riders who rushed out, and the formation was suddenly scattered.
"Where can I go, old thief!" Seeing such a good opportunity, Ma Chao's eyes turned red, and the muscles on his face looked a little ferocious for a moment. He roared in the sky, and then stabbed Li Jue with his spear.
Li Jue didn't take it seriously at first. He was still focusing on the big man holding a long knife who rushed from the side. He casually used his spear to sweep away Ma Chao's spear, but unexpectedly, he suddenly
Ma Chao's spear looked like it was made of iron, and it didn't move at all!
Li Jue's heart suddenly sank, and when he tried to escape again, it was already too late.
Ma Chao, who had been planning for a long time, struck hard, knocked away Li Jue's spear, and pierced one of the doors with one shot!
Li Jue tried his best to twist his body to avoid the shot in the chest. However, Ma Chao's shot may have contained all the power of revenge. Li Jue did not have time to completely dodge, and was hit by Ma Chao's shot on the armor in the chest.
, the armor suddenly burst open, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a large amount of bright red blood spattered out with a pop.
Li Jue yelled and couldn't hold the spear anymore. He fell on the horse's back, staggered and ran away.
Ma Chao howled and screamed. Taking advantage of the Xiliang horse's long legs and strong explosive power, he urged the horse to catch up. He shot down the soldiers who came to rescue Li Jue with a few shots, and then shot Li Jue in the back shoulder!
Ma Chao roared, and with all his strength, he lifted Li Jue, who had been stabbed through the shoulder, from the horse's back, and lifted him into the air!
Li Jue spurted blood, tried his best to look up at the sky, and then suddenly lowered his head...
"Father!" Ma Chao held up Li Jue and howled like a scarred lone wolf, "My child has avenged you! I have avenged you!"
…………………………
"What do you want to do?" After a long silence, Zhao Yun said calmly to Bai Que, "Revenge? Who do you want to avenge? Should the people who were killed by you back then also seek revenge from you?"
Bai Que was stunned for a moment, then waved his sword and shouted: "I don't care! You deserve to be killed by me!"
Zhao Yun lowered his eyelids, no longer paying attention to Bai Que's unreasonable troubles, and said directly: "Where is the commander-in-chief?"
Not to mention that Zhang Yan was okay, but the mention of Zhang Yan was like adding fuel to the fire. Bai Que suddenly shouted loudly: "You still have the nerve to ask! You ungrateful guy! If the commander-in-chief hadn't taken you in back then, you would have been there long ago.
I don’t know how many hundreds of times I’ve died! Now I’m still hurting the commander-in-chief..."
Zhao Yun did not refute, nor did he show any signs of anger, he just stared at Bai Que expressionlessly.
Bai Que was still shouting and screaming with all his teeth and claws, but under Zhao Yun's gaze, his words gradually became stagnant. After a while, he lowered his sword and stopped talking.
When Zhang Yan decided to attack Yinshan, Zhao Yun was not present at all, let alone a murder. The only possibility was to talk to Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, about the possibility of Zhang Yan's advance.
However, if Zhang Yan had not attacked, or even been in a hurry, and had taken the mountain path at Huguan, he would not have fallen into an ambush.
So in fact, Bai Que also knows in his heart that the current situation of the commander-in-chief has little to do with Zhao Yun. Saying that the commander-in-chief was harmed by Zhao Yun is just a subconscious transfer of responsibility. It seems that by saying this, he will
He no longer has to bear the heavy responsibility for the casualties of Commander-in-Chief Zhang Yan, which will make him feel more relaxed mentally.
However, Zhao Yun's silence made Bai Que unable to speak anymore...
The current situation made Tu Yi talk happily for a while, and then he really angered Zhao Yun. Let alone raising troops to attack, just blocking the entrance of the valley and setting a fire would be a dead end for people like him.
"...What exactly do you want?" After a while, Bai Que couldn't hold it in anymore and asked.
"Let me see the commander-in-chief." Zhao Yun's tone was still as calm as water, as if Bai Que's previous insult had never happened.
"You, you, you!" Bai Que sulked, and then stamped his feet angrily, "If you really want to see the commander-in-chief, then come in alone!"
Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay!"
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to wait outside before riding into the valley alone.
Zhao Yun's personal guards quickly tried to dissuade him, but Zhao Yun stopped him with a simple sentence: "... When faced with the road of survival, most people will struggle to survive... The brothers in Montenegro, those who can't think about it, have already died long ago...
After struggling to survive for so many years, do you think you want to die today? Guard the mouth of the valley, and you will come as you go."
Zhao Yun usually doesn't talk much, but whatever he says must be targeted.
This is the case at this moment.
Zhao Yun expected that these remaining Montenegrin troops no longer had the courage to resist, and their superficial clamoring actions were just a manifestation of inner fear...
Sure enough, when Zhao Yun walked to the mouth of the valley alone, the guys who had shouted louder than the other fell silent, and then looked at Bai Que at a loss.
Bai Que tried to lift the sword several times. The hand holding the handle of the sword loosened and tightened, then tightened and loosened, but he was still unable to lift it. Finally, he let out a long sigh, turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing this, the remaining people hurriedly moved the better-than-nothing fence for Zhao Yun, allowing Zhao Yun to come in.
Zhao Yun entered the valley, then turned over and dismounted, thrust the spear into the ground, tied the horse's reins directly to the spear, then took off a bag from the horse's back, threw it to a Montenegrin soldier on the side, and then looked around
Some of the remaining Black Mountain soldiers who were cowering said: "... Take it, let's share some with everyone first... Don't worry, I'm here to find a way for everyone to survive... No matter what, being able to live well is better than anything else.
powerful……"
Curly Hair was on the side, and he subconsciously caught the bag of dry food, and then stared blankly at Zhao Yun's retreating figure. Before he could figure out what was going on, several dark figures next to him rushed towards him.
"...Let me see quickly, what's there to eat..."
"...I said you are a bitch, don't rob..."
"...Smells, really smells..."
Several soldiers who had previously shouted at Zhao Yun for revenge and shouted to kill, now almost got into a fight around a dry food bag. After grabbing a portion, they swallowed it down desperately, fearing that they would eat less than others.
One and a half stars...
"...Floating clouds..." Maybe it was after noon and the temperature was a little lower, or maybe it was some other reason that gave Zhang Yan some energy, and she forced herself to half lie down and half sit. When she saw Zhao Yun, she didn't
Any nonsense, straight to the point, he said in a hoarse voice, "... Let's talk about it, what General Zhengxi wants to do with us..."
"Commander..." Zhao Yun handed over his hand, and then told Fei Qian about the arrangements for the Montenegrin Army, including the arrangements for the commanders of the Montenegrin Army. Of course, Zhao Yun did not say that the treatment of these Montenegrin Army commanders was because he was taking risks.
I asked for it in front of Fei Qian.
After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Yan half-closed his eyes and remained silent without saying a word. If his chest were not still heaving, most people would have thought that he was already dead. After a while, Zhang Yan said: "...Zheng
Why didn’t Xi mention so-and-so... but thought so-and-so was dead?”
Zhao Yun was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Zhang Yan snorted, then snorted again...
"Commander..." Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "... Yun still remembers that he was originally a small wealthy family in Changshan. However, that year there was a severe drought in the north, and there was no harvest in the village. However, he encountered Xianbei going south.
Countless counties in Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Changshan, and Yanmen have fallen, and millions of people have no choice but to flee to avoid the flames of war..."
As he spoke, Zhao Yun took out a small grass ring from his arms, was silent for a while, and then slowly placed the withered grass ring in front of Zhang Yan, and continued, "...the journey of escape was tragic.
...Yunzhi's parents and little sister were on the way...but Yun was powerless and could only watch the death of his blood relatives...Unexpectedly, there was not even a mat...Yun, the only thing he could do was to
Maybe dig a pit and use this grass ring..."
Speaking of this, even though Zhao Yun was as smooth as water, his voice was choked with sobs.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and then said: "...Yun also remembered that when he first arrived in Black Mountain, he heard that the commander-in-chief once said that he did not ask for high-ranking officials, nor gold and silk, but only wanted to be able to survive in this difficult time.
In this world, I want to find a happy land for farming, and find peace and well-being..."
Zhang Yan's chest rose and fell, and then she stared at Zhao Yun for a while and said: "...then...then now you have found a happy land for farming and are in peace and well-being?"
Zhao Yun met Zhang Yan's gaze and said: "Yun, I don't know whether it is or not... However, Yun has seen Bai Bo's heart full of joy when he was harvesting in Pingyang, and he has also seen the soldiers in the north planting the flag of the Han Dynasty.
On the top of Yinshan Mountain... Commander, this time, maybe you are wrong..."
"Huh? Cough cough..." Zhang Yan wanted to get angry, but the pain all over his body couldn't support his excitement. He coughed repeatedly, and it was difficult to breathe for a while.
Zhang Yan pushed away the water handed over by Bai Que, stared at Zhao Yun, and roared in a low voice: "Ahem, there is not a single good official in this world... in this world! They are all corrupt, perverting the law, and taking human life lightly! Don't look at it now.
...Ahem...What if, what if he changes? He becomes no different from other corrupt officials! What do you say? What are you going to do?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Yun... I don't know..."
"Haha, I know, I just know!" Zhang Yan didn't know where she got the strength, but regardless of the pain all over her body, she stood up unsteadily, grabbed Zhao Yun, and said, "Promise...promise to something
!Some...someone gave this head to you!"
Bai Que shouted from the side: "Great Commander!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Yan turned around and shouted, "...Look how long I can live like this?! I'll die early, so I can give my brothers a way to live! It's worth it!"
Zhang Yan turned around, ignored Bai Que, and grabbed Zhao Yun with both hands. The festering wounds on her body burst open again, and blood and pus seeped out bit by bit, "Promise me! For the sake of it,
After so many years of friendship, promise me!"
"Commander, please speak..." Zhao Yun said.
Zhang Yan stared into Zhao Yun's eyes and said word by word: "From today on, you are the commander of Montenegro! Take my head back! If I am wrong, let me take a look at this farming paradise.
I am willing to die! If he changes in the end, then I am not wrong! You must avenge me, avenge me! Call the brothers in Montenegro and kill him for me, kill him! Promise me, promise me!
"
Zhao Yun was stunned and looked at Zhang Yan. He didn't expect Zhang Yan to make such a request. He didn't know whether he should agree or not at the moment...
