Just when Zhang Liang looked at the adopted son who was kneeling on the ground and wanted to agree in a panic, the bearded general who had been busy directing things to be thrown suddenly strode over!
At this moment, the bearded man, although his face was still bruised and swollen, did not mean anything funny. Instead, his eyes were wide with anger. He was like a furious lion, advancing step by step towards Zhang Liang's adopted son who was kneeling on the ground!
"General! Don't listen to the instigation of shameless children!"
Finally, the bearded man stopped next to Zhang Liang's adopted son. He first looked at the man with an extremely disgusting look, and then shouted to Zhang Liang in a deep voice:
"Don't forget, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have fought countless battles, big and small! In these battles, no matter whether they are won or defeated, the generals have always charged forward, and there is absolutely no example of the generals escaping first! Today, if the Great
The general ordered us to flee first, but did we think about it later?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's face instantly turned extremely ugly while he was still kneeling on the ground!
He raised his head and glanced at the bearded man fiercely. Just as he was about to continue to argue, he suddenly heard other people around him echoing:
"Yes! Brother Chen is right!"
"We would rather die fighting together with our brothers than live in an ignoble existence!"
"General! You can't escape alone. If you escape alone today, everything will be completely over!"
Suddenly hearing so many people sharing the same hatred and saying that they could not escape alone, even though Zhang Liang's face turned dark, he did not dare to say anything more!
He knew that if he continued to insist on his own way and persuaded Zhang Liang to escape first, it would probably cause public outrage! Who knows, he would be beaten to death by these rough guys and then thrown into the water to feed the fish.
Therefore, he could only keep winking at Zhang Liang, hoping that Zhang Liang would have the final say! Shut up these bastards, and wait until he can save his own life first!
However, although Zhang Liang is not a decisive person like Lao Cheng and Li Jing, strictly speaking, he is definitely not a coward!
In the Zhenguan Dynasty, no one who could get the appreciation of Xiao Lizi and climb to the position of Duke was a coward, even those who had their eyes closed and hanging books in their bags, the same!
Zhang Liang's hesitation and hesitation before was just caused by the war situation and the fact that he was such a big man!
Now, after the big bearded man gave him a heads-up and looked at the hard advice from the old people around him, Zhang Liang suddenly came to his senses!
Yes, in the Tang Dynasty, it was okay to lose in battle. After all, how many victorious generals are there in the world?
Didn't even His Majesty the Emperor suffer a heavy defeat at the hands of Xue Ju and his son?
However, a defeat is a defeat, it’s not a big deal, just regroup and fight again!
But after being defeated, abandoning his comrades, or even using his comrades as a shield to cover his escape, the nature is completely different!
Zhang Liang could imagine: If he really did that, even if he survived and returned to Chang'an, his whole life would be completely over!
No one would trust a bastard who betrays his own identity!
No one will speak for a shameless deserter!
Even if the emperor missed his old relationship, he would not punish himself in any way.
But from then on, Zhang Liang, and even his entire Zhang family, could only become the laughing stock of the Tang Dynasty military generals until he died and his descendants!
"Fighting means death! Escape... You may survive by escaping, but in the future, you will be even more uncomfortable than death..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang suddenly clenched his fists tightly, as if he had figured something out, and then slowly released them. Finally, he burst into laughter!
He was not laughing because he was too nervous and had a mental disorder.
It was because he suddenly remembered his past, the time when Xiao Lizi was not the emperor and he was not the Duke of the country!
Speaking of which, Zhang Liang is different from people like Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Li Ji. He is truly from the grassroots!
In the early years, due to his poor background, Zhang Liang had no choice but to turn into a bandit and went to Wagang Mountain to become a small bandit.
Later, because he was a little bandit who dared to fight, he was appreciated by Zhai Rang and promoted to a small rebel leader.
Later, when Wagang Mountain was torn apart, he followed the trend and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. After being introduced by Fang Xuanling, he finally became the subordinate of Xiao Lizi.
I still remember that at that time, he was full of courage! Whenever he fought, he always fought in a life-threatening way. One person would dare to charge into an enemy group of thousands or tens of thousands of people! That's why he was named
The title of Madman Zhang!
At that time, he was also very loyal!
Once Zhang Liang was captured by Prince Li Jiancheng. He was no longer tempted by the high official, generous salary, money and beautiful women!
He was brutally beaten and tortured in every possible way, but he didn't get any relief!
But now?
After spending too much time in affluence and getting used to the life of a spoiled wife and a beautiful concubine, Zhang Liang seemed like a different person, no longer as daring and courageous as before.
"Afraid? Am I really afraid?"
Lower your head and look at your hands, which have become white and fat because of being pampered over the years.
Zhang Liang suddenly laughed even louder, until he choked with tears and snot, and only when his subordinates asked him in confusion, did he stop smiling.
At the same time, his eyes became colder little by little!
Zhang Liang at this moment is completely different from the Zhang Liang who was indecisive and hesitant just now!
"General!"
The bearded general was the first to notice Zhang Liang's changes!
As an old man who has been with Zhang Liang for many years, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sore nose. The seven-foot-tall man didn't cry when he was pushed to the ground and beaten violently. When he was beaten into a pig's head, now, he actually cried!
Because, he felt that the Zhang Liang from before was back! That crazy Zhang who dared to fight, kill, and risk his life was finally back!
"Crying? Why are you crying! I'm not dead yet. It's too late to cry in my grave after I die!"
Looking at the red eyes of the bearded lieutenant, Zhang Liang smiled and patted him hard on the shoulder, and then his eyes fell on the Goguryeo ship that was getting closer and closer.
"Children! Why are you still standing here! The enemy is coming, why don't you get your weapons! Are you waiting for them to come and kill you?! Damn it, you are all turning into pigs. Do you still remember how to fight?!"
"Remember! Remember!"
"We can't forget this?!"
Hearing Zhang Liang's familiar yet unfamiliar voice, everyone else on the boat burst into tears!
It seems that with this long-lost cry of "children", the bravery that was once buried deep in their bones finally started to flow in their blood vessels again!
Crazy Zhang's unit, which frightened the enemy and made them retreat without a fight, came to life at this moment!
