The ground is covered with heavy snow and the cold wind is like a knife.
In the military camp outside the city, Liu Bei was wearing a thick cotton coat and was warming himself by the fire in the tent. Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and the cold wind mixed with broken snow poured in. Liu Bei raised his head and saw that Guan Yu had fallen on him.
There was a thick layer of white snow. He quickly stood up and said, "Yun Chang, come over and warm yourself by the fire. This year's heavy snow is really going to freeze people to death!"
Guan Yu came over, sat down next to Liu Bei, then took out a letter and said, "This was just sent by Su Shuang."
After Liu Bei received the letter, he didn't read it first. Instead, he patted Guan Yu's shoulder and swept away the falling snow on his body. Then he unfolded the letter, took a look at it, and couldn't help but say "Eh".
Guan Yu asked: "What happened?"
Liu Bei said: "Wen Zheng has sent us two hundred war horses, thirty collars of steel armor, one hundred sets of cotton-padded clothes and one hundred horizontal knives. In addition, there are one thousand gold coins and some other things."
Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "It's more than a thousand miles from Liangzhou to Hebei? It has been very difficult to send some cotton clothes here in the past. How can we have so many things this time?"
"Where is Su Shuang?" Liu Bei said, "Invite him over quickly."
After a while, Su Shuang appeared in Liu Bei's tent, and Zhang Fei rushed over after hearing the news. Liu Bei said: "Third brother, come here and drink some wine to ward off the cold. Mr. Su, isn't it dangerous on the road back from Liangzhou this time?"
"
Su Shuang stretched out his hand on the flame and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Xuande, although this trip is a bit hard, it is not dangerous."
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "What does this have to do with me? Sir, you are too modest. When you go to Liangzhou this time, will you see Chen Shijun?"
"seen."
"How is Wen Zheng's complexion? His injury is getting better."
"Chen Shijun's style is still the same, and he is more powerful than last year!"
Liu Bei felt relieved and asked again: "From Liangzhou to Youzhou, there are Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes blocking the road. How can we transport so many things?"
Su Shuangdao: "Most of the Huns in the clouds have been moved to Taiyuan County by Dong Zhuo. General Xu Rong personally led the convoy to Yanmen County with two thousand soldiers and horses, so there is not much danger along the way."
Zhang Fei drank several bowls of wine, his body became hot, and he said loudly: "What good things did Wen Zheng send this time?"
Su Shuang smiled and said: "Everything is on the gift list. In addition, there are some things specially given to the three generals."
"Oh, Wen Zheng just said that he had a special gift, but he didn't write it in the letter, but he didn't know what it was?"
Su Shuang said: "I'm also very curious, but the box is nailed tightly, so I can't know. The things have been brought over. Why don't Mr. Xuande go and take a look now?"
Liu Bei got interested, and regardless of the snow still falling outside, he and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to the tent where the goods were stored. There, a large box was placed on the ground. The big box was more than a foot long and rectangular. Zhang Fei
When he saw it, he laughed and said: "It looks like a big coffin, but I don't know who can grow so big!"
Liu Bei said displeasedly: "Yide be careful what you say! Wen Zheng has his whole heart, how can you be so rude?"
Zhang Fei breathed out the smell of alcohol and said nonchalantly: "Wen Zheng doesn't care about this!"
He couldn't wait for the soldiers to take action, so he ran forward and pried open the big box. He saw that there were several long boxes inside, and the gaps were filled with catkins and wheat straw. Zhang Fei muttered and opened them one by one.
After the first box at the top was opened, there was a pair of swords in the scabbards. He grabbed one and pulled the sword out of the scabbard. With a clear and sweet sound, he saw a sword that was longer than the Huanshou Sword.
Appear in front of everyone.
"Good sword!" Zhang Fei knows the goods. One look at the satin pattern on the sword, and he knows that the sword in his hand is made of the best steel. This sword is already so good, and the other sword will not be any worse.
Go. He put the sword aside and opened the second box, but it was a long weapon. Zhang Fei lifted it up and felt that it was much heavier than the usually used swords, shields, spears and spears.
When he looked carefully, he saw several large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes engraved on it, "Qinglong Yanyue Sword". Zhang Fei grabbed the three-meter-long "Qinglong Yanyue Sword" with both hands and waved it in the tent. The wind suddenly started,
The soldiers on the side changed their colors in shock and hurriedly moved away. Guan Yu shouted: "Third brother, be careful!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "I was so happy when I saw such a fine weapon that I got carried away for a moment. Don't blame me, brothers!"
He weighed the long-handled machete in his hand and said: "It's too long and too heavy. It's not suitable for foot combat, but it can be used for mounted combat."
When Zhang Fei opened the third box, Guan Yu opened another small box and saw another letter inside. He did not open it to read it, but handed it to Liu Bei's hand. Liu Bei opened it and saw
The fonts on the top look like iron paintings with silver hooks, and they were written by Chen Cheng himself.
"The male and female double-pronged swords were given to brother Xuande, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was given to the second brother Guan, and the eight-foot-long snake spear was given to the third brother Zhang."
After Liu Bei finished reading, he said with a smile: "Wen Zheng is serious about it."
Zhang Fei grabbed the "Zhangba Snake Spear" and said: "This spear is good, but where is it 1ft 8ft? It's obviously only 1ft 23, and it's not curved. Why is it called Zhangba Snake?"
spear?"
"This..." Liu Bei pondered for a while and said, "Maybe Wen Zheng has another deeper meaning."
Zhang Fei refused to give up and asked: "What is the deep meaning?"
“…..”
Guan Yu couldn't stand it any longer, so he stopped Zhang Fei and said, "Wenzheng also sent us thirty steel armors. Why don't you, third brother, go pick out a good pair?"
A piece of iron armor costs at least a thousand guan. How about a few thousand guan for a steel armor? With thirty collars, that’s nearly 100,000 guan. Moreover, armor is an important weapon of the military and cannot be bought casually if you have money. Zhang Fei was immediately
He diverted his attention, stopped worrying about the name of the weapon in his hand, and went to pick out armor excitedly.
Both he and Guan Yu have quite large bodies, and ordinary armors cannot be worn at all, so special ones are needed. As expected, among those armors, there is an extra large pair and a slightly smaller pair. Needless to say, they are for Guan Yu and Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei is ready.
Seeing Zhang Fei's happy look, Liu Bei's face darkened. Guan Yu saw him at the edge and asked, "Brother, it seems that you have something on your mind?"
Liu Bei looked around and said to Guan Yu and Su Shuang: "It was three years ago that we met Wenzheng. Three years later, Wenzheng already occupied a state and was granted the title of Liangzhou Mu by the imperial court. Looking back at us,
You are still trapped within a hundred miles radius. In comparison, why would you rather feel ashamed?"
As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but remain silent. He and Zhang Fei were both fierce generals that were rarely seen in the world, but with a small army and few generals, how much waves could they cause in Hebei, a place where tens of thousands of people fought at every turn? Now Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao
In the battle for Hebei, more and more troops and horses from both sides have accumulated on the front line. Their troops of only one or two thousand people are in danger of capsizing at any time.
Youzhou is not as prosperous as Hebei, and most of the place is still occupied by Liu Yu. Gongsun Zan has very few places to raise troops. The supplies received by Liu Bei and other collateral lines have never been sufficient, if Chen Cheng hadn't sent a lot of money
, I am afraid that the number of soldiers and horses in hand will be much less.
The current situation in Hebei is unclear. Even with Guan Yu's military bravery, he dare not say what will happen. But he was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The wealth and lives of thousands of soldiers are entrusted to my brother. What can I do?
So depressed? Now the situation is unfavorable, so let’s use the swords in our hands to find a way out!”
When Liu Bei heard this, he perked up and said, "Yun Chang is right!"
He said to Su Shuang next to him: "I was just sentimental for a moment, but it made my husband laugh."
Su Shuang said: "How dare you? How dare you? Mr. Xuande did not give up and allowed me the right to trade. But I am only a merchant, how can I be worthy of the title of sir? Mr. Xuande is now a general with thousands of troops.
The future is bound to be bright and promising!”
"Then I will accept Mr.'s good advice."
Su Shuangdao: "Zhang Shiping went to Liangzhou with me, and was received by Chen Shijun at the same time. He was responsible for delivering the gifts to General Tian Yu, and I was responsible for delivering the gifts to Xuande Gong. The things on both sides were similar. But Chen Shijun could
There are no weapons specially made for General Tian!"
"Haha," Zhang Fei walked over in steel armor at this time and laughed: "This shows that in Wen Zheng's heart, I am more important!"
Liu Bei said: "Otherwise, it's just that the state is more prudent in its use of troops, unlike us who often go into battle to fight."
"Hey, doesn't Wen Zheng often lead his troops to the front?" Zhang Fei shouted: "I have heard that in the battle of Huangbei Mountain, Wen Zheng led his personal guards to attack the defense line of Huangfu Song Army, wearing dozens of weapons.
Shout for a fierce battle!"
His voice was so loud that even if he spoke normally, others would think he was yelling.
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "As a state shepherd, he still likes to charge into battle. Is there no one to dissuade him?"
Su Shuang smiled and said: "Chen Shijun is famous for his bravery and bravery. Nowadays, people in Liangzhou call him the 'Overlord of Xiliang', while the Qiang and Hu people call him 'Shenwei Tianjiang' and 'Flying General'. People like Chen Shi
For a peerless warrior like you, probably no one would dare to persuade him."
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and thought about the battle at Huangbei Mountain, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
In the third year of Chuping, wars were going on in most parts of the country, and there was fierce turmoil everywhere. The ownership of counties and counties often changed several times in a month. But the biggest change was that the imperial court lost Guanzhong, a place that provided soldiers, money and food. All the
Everyone knew that He Jin's time was short, but the imperial court in Luoyang suddenly collapsed.
The following year, He Jin changed the reign name in the name of the emperor and named it "Xingping". Each title was more auspicious than the last, but how could they cover up the declining decline of the imperial court? Even Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others were waiting for the imperial court
Take your last breath.
Just after the New Year, Cao Cao of Dongjun launched a fierce attack on Jibei Kingdom, completely expelled the local Yellow Turban remnants and Taishan bandits, and captured the entire Jibei Kingdom. He then sent troops to the west, defeated the imperial troops, and captured Chenliu.
.During this battle, Cao Cao defeated his immediate boss Liu Dai. Chen Gong, a native of Dongjun, immediately suggested that Cao Cao take over as the shepherd of Yanzhou. Cao Cao happily accepted the offer and regarded Chen Gongtai as his confidant from then on.
Yuan Shu also once again sent his strongest general, Sun Jian, with 30,000 troops and marched directly to Hulao Pass. Many battles also broke out in other places. The princes ignored that spring was the time for farming, and started another uprising.
