Zhang Fei's camp was ablaze with lights, and dozens of torches illuminated the ground like daylight.
There was a huge cross wooden stake standing in the middle of the torch. Zhang Qing's bare arms were tightly tied to the wooden stake. Under the wooden stake were several jars of wine.
"Third General, you have issued a military order that prohibits drinking and corporal punishment of soldiers. If the military advisor finds out about this, what should we do?"
The military commander looked at Zhang Fei's movements and couldn't help but frown.
"Li Qin, of course I know the military order, but taking Shouzhang County is the top priority now. As for drinking and corporal punishment of the soldiers, I just put on a show to show Xia Houyuan. The purpose is to lure Xia Houyuan over.
As long as I can capture Shouzhang County and help my elder brother achieve great things, even if the military advisor wants to chop off my head, I won't even frown, why do you want to stop me?"
Zhang Fei looked at the military academy captain Li Qin. He was arranged by Cheng Yu and his role was to supervise Zhang Fei to see if he had violated the precepts.
"Since the three generals have said so, then you can do it."
Zhang Feibao glared, and Li Qin couldn't help but shudder, quickly put on a smile and agreed with Zhang Fei's action.
"Okay, all the ministries are ready for me. As long as Xia Houyuan dares to come, let me keep him."
"promise."
After arranging his troops and horses, the next thing Zhang Fei had to do was wait for news from the scouts. He was performing a show for Xia Houyuan's scouts. If they didn't come, then Zhang Qing's beating would have been in vain.
"Third General, enemy scouts were spotted five miles away."
The secret sentry arranged by Zhang Fei finally received the news.
"Okay, Zhang Qing, if it hurts, just call me out. It's best to curse a few words. I'll give you some money."
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he lifted a jar of wine with one hand, raised his head and drank a few sips, then whipped Zhang Qing.
"ah,"
Although he was well prepared, Zhang Qing still couldn't resist the whip when it hit him fiercely and shouted loudly.
The shrill shouts directly tore the silent night into pieces. Xia Houming, who was looking for Zhang Fei's camp in the distance, quickly gathered his men and rushed in the right direction.
"Snapped."
"ah."
Another whip came, and Zhang Qing shouted again.
"Snapped."
"Snapped."
"Snapped."
Although Zhang Fei had been very careful when he started, Zhang Qing's body was still criss-crossed with scars after being struck with more than a dozen whips.
"Sir, isn't this Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide? Why are you drawing soldiers here so late at night?"
A scout asked Xiahou Ming in confusion.
"Why? This guy likes drinking the most. Didn't you see the wine jars at his feet? He must have eaten too much. This kid has broken the taboo again."
As a clansman of Xia Houyuan, Xia Houming was naturally familiar with Liu Bei's men Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
"Then what should we do now?"
Hearing Xia Houming's words, the scout couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, he didn't have such a master, otherwise he wouldn't know when he would die.
"Let's go back to the city immediately. Tell the general everything here and let him make a decision."
Xia Houming led ten scouts and rushed directly towards Shouzhang City.
Xia Houyuan stood up immediately after hearing Xia Houming's report.
"What are you talking about? Zhang Fei is drinking and corporally punishing the soldiers? Is he drinking and corporally punishing the soldiers at night?"
"Well, yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
Xia Houming nodded firmly.
"Order the whole army to set off immediately and attack Zhang Fei at night. I will kill him without leaving any trace of him."
If Xia Houming is confirmed, Xia Houyuan will mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city to attack Zhang Fei at night.
"General, do you think this is Zhang Fei's plan?"
Xiahou Yu, the commander of the army, could not help but frown.
"Scheme? If the person coming is Guan Yu, I won't go there no matter what. But the butcher Zhang Fei, besides some brute strength, what else does he have? Drinking and beating people, this is what he should be like."
Although Xia Houyu put forward different opinions, Xia Houyuan ignored them at all.
"There is no need to send people to stay in Shouzhang County."
Although what Xia Houyuan said made sense, Xia Houyu still felt that something was wrong.
"Stay behind? Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's vanguard. He has at least around 10,000 troops or even more. And although this man is vulgar, his force is really not weak. The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength to ensure victory."
Xia Houyuan patted Xia Houyu on the shoulder and spoke to him seriously.
"Xia Houyu understands, I will prepare now."
Xia Houyuan said that he had accepted the job. If Xia Houyu made his opinions clear, he would be in trouble. Besides, everything the general said made sense.
Xia Houyuan was known as the Divine General. The troops under his command were as fast as the wind and prepared for a surprise attack. They had arrived at the outskirts of Zhang Fei's camp in half an hour.
"kill."
Seeing that Zhang Fei's camp was indeed defenseless, Xia Houyuan did not hesitate, kicked his horse's hoof, and rushed out.
"kill."
"Kill."
"Kill them."
The gods marched down the mountain like tigers, each shouting and rushing towards Zhang Fei's camp.
Xia Houyuan's army rushed down and directly entered Zhang Fei's camp.
"General, what is going on?"
Xia Houming looked at the empty camp with a confused expression on his face.
When Xia Houyuan saw the empty camp, he immediately knew that he had fallen into a trap, or fell into the trap of Zhang Fei, a stupid old man.
Stupid will be stupid, and falling into the trap will fall into the trap. The most important thing now is to evacuate quickly and retreat to Shouzhang.
"Xiahou Miaocai, I, Lao Zhang, have been waiting here for a long time."
Zhang Fei, who was shirtless, held a spear in one hand and pointed it at Xia Houyuan on horseback.
"Brothers, fight out with me."
Xia Houyuan held a gun in one hand, slapped his horse and killed Zhang Fei.
"Brothers, kill."
Zhang Fei waved his snake spear and rushed forward. Behind him were the soldiers of the vanguard army who had been holding back for half the night.
On one side were Zhang Fei's vanguard troops with overwhelming momentum, and on the other side were the somewhat panicked marching soldiers who were caught in an ambush. In terms of morale alone, Xia Houyuan and the others had already lost.
"Butcher of Zhuo County, you dare to plot against grandpa."
Xia Houyuan was so angry that he swung his gun and stabbed Zhang Fei directly in the chest.
"clang."
Zhang Fei used a snake spear to knock Xia Houyuan's spear away, and then turned the snake spear to stab Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan swung his gun to block Zhang Fei's snake spear, but his arm was numbed by his huge force.
"kill."
Although he knew that he was no match for Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan still had to bite the bullet and push forward, because now he was the hope of the entire army.
The two of them fought quickly and exchanged dozens of moves in a row. Xia Houyuan went from attacking and defending at the beginning to only defending but not attacking.
"kill."
Zhang Fei roared loudly, and the eight-foot-long snake spear turned into a black golden hoop, and hit Xia Houyuan fiercely.
Feeling Zhang Fei's strength, Xia Houyuan directly held the gun with both hands and swung it horizontally to block Zhang Fei's heavy blow.
