Chapter 311 The fierce generals of Jizhou challenge the battle
That night, Liu Jian gathered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in his room.
Liu Jian talked a lot with the three of them. He didn't talk about military matters. Most of them were memories, recalling the interesting things that happened to the five tigers in Zhuoxian when they were in their prime.
These matters are private topics among the five tiger brothers and are rarely discussed with others. They are considered private topics among the brothers after dinner.
They may seem like boring trivial matters, but these trivial matters carry the profound and deep-seated friendship between the Five Tigers of Zhuo County.
Even though time has passed and the status of the Five Tigers of Zhuoxian is no longer what it used to be, their sincere feelings for each other are still as pure, passionate and romantic as they were then.
Whenever they talked about excitement, Liu, Guan and Zhang laughed heartily, recalling the rashness, freedom and even stupidity of their youth. Sometimes the three of them shed tears of joy.
Zhang Fei reached out and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, laughing and saying: "Zilong, Zilong, tell me, what happened to me back then was funny or not?"
Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head: "Yide is a man of true temperament, how can I laugh at you?"
Zhang Fei's smile was a little awkward: "Isn't this funny? Hey! When I slaughtered the Xie Liang Zheng family, I was about to yell on the spot, 'The murderer is Zhang Yide from Yan!' Fortunately, I was stopped by Brother Jian.
If not, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause for my brother!”
"At that time, I didn't really want to be famous. I was just unconvinced by my fourth brother and wanted to compete with him. Thinking about it now, it was really stupid!"
Zhao Yun praised: "A man is born between heaven and earth. Competing with others is a man's bloody behavior. How can it be said to be completely stupid if it is reasonable?"
Zhang Fei picked up the water, drank the water to moisten his throat, and said: "It may not look good to others, but when I think about it, it was stupid at that time... Hey, let the two brothers see the joke!"
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled. His usually arrogant face was filled with warmth at this moment.
Liu Jian sighed: "The flowers will bloom again, and no one will be young again."
This sentence made the three people present stunned.
Although none of them are too old, looking back at the things they did as teenagers back then, they seem like they have changed forever, as if they were a lifetime ago.
A person's youth is gradually passing away, and you don't notice it at first, but when you really look back, it is the most emotional.
The truth of Liu Jian's words is simple, but it can make it clear and concise, which deeply touches people's hearts.
Even a proud man like Guan Yu couldn't help but indulge in memories of the past at this moment.
The hand he had been stroking with his long beard stopped now, hanging motionless in mid-air.
But Guan Yu himself didn't notice it.
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
When he was young, Zhang Fei came back to his senses, patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If not, how about letting Zilong be my sixth brother?"
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this.
"Yide, don't make fun of me!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Who is making fun of you? The fourth brother of our Zhuoxian County Five Tigers only joined in later! Now we can add the sixth brother to the list! My third brother has already said that he has always been
I regard you as a brother, why do you refuse?"
Zhao Yun said helplessly: "Yun is just a warrior. I have received such kindness from my lord and have nothing to repay. I am extremely grateful to be able to serve under my lord. How dare I accept the name of my brother..."
Zhang Fei said impatiently: "Why do you care so much about you? A man from Yanzhao can speak and act more easily! If the third brother treats you as an outsider, how can you still sit here with the three brothers today and recall the past together?
?”
Facing the kind and encouraging glances of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Zhao Yun said with some embarrassment: "But, I am not from Zhuo County, how can I be called...the Six Tigers of Zhuo County?"
Zhang Fei didn't reply, he just raised his hand and pointed at Guan Yu.
"uh-huh!"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Fei solemnly.
Liu Jian patted the table gently and said with a smile: "Then the matter is settled. From now on, Zilong, you are my brother! Don't refuse!"
Zhao Yun stood up and said to the three people present: "Thanks to your brothers for not giving up, Yun is willing to live and die with you!"
This has been said very directly, that is, I am willing to be the little one for Liu Jian and others.
Starting today, the Five Tigers of Zhuoxian County will become the Six Tigers of Zhuoxian County.
This is another expansion of the small group of heroes in Zhuoxian County after many years.
Liu Jian was very happy. People like Zhao Yun were the best candidates to serve as brothers.
Of course, even if Zhao Yun is not regarded as a brother, Zhao Yun's loyalty to Liu Jian remains the same, but Liu Jian still hopes that he can join.
He is righteous and loyal to himself, and is an indispensable person among his core members. If Zhao Yun is not allowed to join, Liu Jian will not even be able to pass this test in his heart.
Becoming one of the Six Tigers of Zhuoxian County does not require any special sworn ceremony. As long as everyone changes their titles and calls them brothers in private.
It’s so random, it’s so willful!
Then, Zhao Yun suddenly changed the topic to the current war.
"Third brother, Lu Bu and Hu Zhen have stationed their troops and horses outside the city. Although they are not attacking the city, they are like a hanging sword and pose a considerable threat. How should we deal with it?"
Liu Jian then said: "Now Lu Bu and Hu Zhen have a lot of siege equipment in their hands, and they are quite sophisticated. It is not a good idea to confront them head-on. However, we have captured Niu Fu and Hua Xiong alive one after another! The enemies are all scared, and they will not forgive them.
Dare to fight with us easily, now is the time when the two sides are at war, if we can overwhelm them in terms of momentum, we are not afraid that they will dare to attack at will,"
"After all, Dong Zhuo can no longer accept defeat. This will give us time to reorganize our troops in the city, strengthen the city's defenses, and gather Chen Guo's generals!"
Guan Yu said: "But if it is delayed indefinitely, it may not be a good thing. The food and grass left by Liu Chong is limited. Although only a few of us know about this matter, there will be oversights as time goes by. I hope brother will think twice."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Yes, only a few of us know about this matter, but there is no need to be afraid, because I, Duke Ju, and Mr. Ma Jie have discussed this matter, and the three of us agreed that
It won't be long before Dong Zhuo will send someone to negotiate peace with us."
Zhang Fei said: "Brother, how can you be so sure that Dong Zhuo will send someone to negotiate peace? Is it just because we captured Niu Fu and Hua Xiong?"
Liu Jian said: "This is only one reason. The other reason is that Dong Zhuo failed to gain the upper hand in the battle with Yuan Shao. Now that Sun Jian has arrived in Nanyang, we have defeated Niu Fu and Hua Xiong's troops in the north. Dong Zhuo fought on two fronts.
Because of the tight situation, morale must be low. I heard that he has already taken action against the prominent families in Nanyang County, so the prominent families in Jingzhou and Yuzhou must go all out to support Yuan Shao,"
"If the major families in Jing and Yu fight desperately, it will be impossible for Dong Zhuo to defeat Yuan Shao no matter how powerful his troops are. His best choice at the moment is to ease the relationship with us and only form a confrontation with Yuan Shao. If the North and the South
The line is tight, and any mistake would be a disaster for Dong Zhuo."
Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this.
Liu Jian looked at Guan Yu again: "Yun Chang, according to my duty, although I can't fight with Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, I can fight with generals!"
"Fighting General?"
Guan Yu heard this and said curiously: "Under such circumstances, the two armies still have to fight against each other. Isn't it child's play?"
Liu Jian said: "Although it is a bit childish, for Lu Bu and Hu Zhen now, if they do nothing, they may not be able to explain to Dong Zhuo!"
"Among the enemy generals, Lu Bu has always maintained that he is brave and invincible. If he fights one on one, in their eyes, it may be what he wants!"
"But they don't know that there are so many powerful generals on our side. If we fight in formation, we will definitely defeat the other side! By then the soldiers of the three armies will be strong, then the city can be defended and the morale of the army can be used."
"Of course, the other party must also think so."
When Guan Yu heard this, he said: "If this is the case, brother, you might as well send a letter to Hu Zhen and ask for a fight. A certain idea can be fought for five days. As long as the design is proper, we can definitely take this opportunity to promote the prestige of our army!"
"
Liu Jian said: "Good!"
…
…
The next day Liu Jian sent an envoy to the enemy camp with a letter of war to invite a fight.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's letters were also delivered to Hu Zhen.
In his letters, Dong Zhuo scolded Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, his words were sharp and his words were so noisy that they would be ashamed to the ground.
Dong Zhuo also gave the two of them an ultimatum: if they were defeated again, they would be punished by military law.
In addition, Dong Zhuo also tactfully stated in the letter that he wanted to have peace talks with Liu Jian in the near future, and asked Hu Zhen and Lu Bu not to create extraneous matters, so as not to affect his plans.
However, the two of them were not allowed to lose their own morale during this period.
Dong Zhuo asked Hu Zhen and Lu Bu to restore their military power no matter what.
To be honest, this is a bit difficult for Hu Zhen and Lu Bu.
I won't let you hit me casually.
Do you need to boost morale? Isn’t this difficult?
Is it possible to let the soldiers kill Jizhou soldiers in their dreams?
Just when Hu Zhen and Lu Bu had trouble with Dong Zhuo's order, the Jizhou Army's letter of challenge arrived!
Liu Jian asked for a fight and asked to fight with Xiliang soldiers.
