Chapter 491: The War Begins
Liu Bei suddenly heard Gongsun Zhan's voice, and a confused look flashed in his eyes, but in the next second, he thought of something, staring at the white horse generals under the city with a pair of dark eyes, but who was his senior brother Gongsun Zhan.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side saw Gongsun Zhan, their faces were dark, they didn't seem to think that they would be able to meet each other again one day, because of Sun Jian's strong attitude, their party had to abandon each other in order to preserve their interests, shouldn't they be destroyed by Sun Jian, how could they be here?
"Senior Brother Xuande, you must avenge me!" Gongsun Zhan's heart sank slightly when he saw that Liu Bei did not speak, but in order to be able to repay Sun Jian's revenge for leaving Liaodong like a lost dog, he did not hesitate to suffer the eyes of the world, not to mention that he still had grace and Liu Bei.
"Open the city gate, a certain family will personally welcome the arrival of the senior brother!" Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he took a step towards the stairs of the city wall, and Guan Zhang and the others hurriedly followed behind each other and left together.
"Boom!" The towering suspension bridge let out a deafening roar, turning into a black steel dragon and falling with a blast, bringing up dust from the sky.
"Squeak!" With a bang, the heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, and after a while, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande led everyone to the city gate, looking at Gongsun Zhan in the distance with a hearty smile on his face.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan's gloomy face inevitably disappeared, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers in the distance behind him slowly appeared at the edge of the city, jumped off the war horse, came to Liu Bei, and stretched out strong hands to hold him firmly, "Hahaha!" I knew that my junior brother would definitely help someone! A hearty smile slowly sounded in the sky above the city.
"Senior brother, why did you end up like this?" Liu Bei looked at the soulless soldiers in the distance, a puzzled look flashed in his eyes, how could the other party say that he was also a famous white horse general, and the white horse righteous servants under his command were even more terrifying to the foreign races!
"Hey! Rong will stay in the city and talk to you carefully, these things can't be said clearly in a moment! When Gongsun Chan heard Liu Bei's inquiry, the mood in his heart, which had just recovered, became heavy again.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei naturally knew why Gongsun Zhan ended up like this, thinking of the strong and powerful style of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Zhan, who was not close to the strength of a super-first-class general, was able to lead some soldiers and horses to escape, it was already a blessing in misfortune, if it weren't for this person's recent breakthrough to a first-class general, I am afraid it would have become history long ago.
"Hahaha! Senior brother, look at me, patronize and ask you about things, go into the city to arrange a place for you to live, and you must participate in the reception banquet later! Liu Bei deserved to be a hero, and when he noticed the unnatural look on the other party's face, he didn't know that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, so he showed an apologetic smile at the moment, turned around and walked towards the city with Gongsun Zhan.
Time passed minute by minute, and after Liu Bei arranged all the soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Zhan, he looked at the sky where there was already a trace of sunset in the distance, and then he realized that the problem of arranging soldiers had taken an afternoon. There was a rumbling sound in his stomach, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he hurriedly led everyone to the mansion to sit down and prepare for a long-time banquet.
"Smack!" Liu Bei looked at the people seated, with a confident smile on his face, stretched out his slender palm and patted it, and suddenly the door was pushed open, and a young girl walked in with a red gauze on her face, looming and evoking everyone's infinite reverie.
After a long journey along the way, Gongsun Chan suddenly saw such a beautiful woman with a look of intoxication in his eyes, and Gongsun Yue and the others around him were not much different, if it weren't for the fact that he was not familiar with life when he first arrived, I am afraid that he would have already stepped into the dance floor and danced with those dancing girls.
"Hahaha! Senior brother, senior brother, I would like to give you a glass here! Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhan and his party whose eyes were almost on the dancing girl, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged, and he slowly raised his wine glass to salute the other party in the air, and then drank it all, letting the cool wine enter his throat.
Gongsun Chan and the others trembled slightly when they heard this, and then they reacted, with a look of embarrassment on their faces, and they also raised the wine glass in their hands and drank it all.
After a short time, the dancing girls who looked like fairies among the flowers sat down beside the guests, stretched out their slender and round fingers and carefully lifted the wine glasses, filling the wine glasses in their hands for everyone.
For a while, everyone present showed a smile of excitement on their faces, and some of them were even careless rubbing oil on each other's bodies, Liu Bei didn't seem to care about these, and then slowly said, "Everyone, these dancing girls are carefully selected by a certain family, and they will leave with you after the banquet!" ”
Gongsun Zhan was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so generous, and was about to speak, when he heard the other party's words sound again, "Hey! Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, clothes are torn, they can still be sewn, hands and feet are broken, and they will continue? Therefore, there is no need for senior brother to refuse! ”
When Gongsun Zan heard this, the big stone that had always been raised high in his heart could finally fall safely, and he was even more grateful to Liu Bei, choking on the words that came to his mouth.
After everyone heard the words of the lord, they showed a happy look on their faces, and the banquet seemed to have entered its peak because of the words of the other party.
At the same time, a force appeared not far from Jinyang County, Taiyuan, and was quietly moving in the direction of Jizhou.
"General, we have now entered Taiyuan County, which is the county seat of Bingzhou, and Liu Bei and Liu Xuande live in the county town!" A scout rode his horse and galloped over, and when he saw Yue Fei, who was leading the soldiers and horses cautiously forward, he quickly turned over and dismounted, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed slightly.
Li Gang and Zong Ze glanced at each other when they heard this, obviously seeing a solemn look in each other's eyes, although in this era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty because of the arrival of the lord Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, the world's heroes have not become bigger and stronger like the original historical trajectory, and it is already very good to be able to barely maintain a state, but they are still very jealous of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, which is not much different from the strength of Yue Fei.
"Order the troops to go full speed and not make too much noise to avoid being detected by the enemy!" Although Yue Fei wanted to have a good fight with the rumored Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he had to give up this idea because of the mission.
"No!" When the soldier heard this, he suddenly received the order, then turned over and rode his horse forward quickly, taking advantage of the cool moonlight to carefully rush in the direction of Jizhou.
The next day, Liu Bei and his entourage slowly opened their eyes, looking at the scene of the mess of cups and plates, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of their mouths, and they were about to say something, when they heard hurried footsteps, and then a soldier hurriedly ran in, clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and said, "The lord is not good, I waited for the fine work sent out and didn't come back overnight!" ”
"What?" Liu Bei, who had a shocked look on his face, stood up suddenly, his dark eyes staring at the soldier for a moment, as if to say why such an important matter was only reported now.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Report to the lord, we found the corpse of the person who died of exhaustion, and it was difficult to find it hidden in the dark, and the body was all sealed with blood! At this moment, another pale soldier quickly ran in, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed slightly.
"Bastard! Someone dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, I really don't want to live! When Zhang Fei heard that someone dared to assassinate the eldest brother's elite scout, his face suddenly sank, and a loudspeaker-like voice rumbled in everyone's ears.
Guan Yu's slightly narrowed Danfeng eyes at this moment also slowly opened and closed, a wisp of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to stroke the beautiful beard on his chin, "Big brother, why don't you let a certain family lead a team of soldiers and horses to check it out, but I want to see which thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to come to find death!" A cold voice rang in everyone's ears.
Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but shiver as if they were falling into an ice cave, and subconsciously tightened the clothes on their bodies, as if they could warm the cold and biting cold.
"Good! The second brother Ru led a cavalry to check the situation, and a certain family wanted to avenge those dead brothers! Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes turned red and he slowly raised his head, and he didn't think about agreeing directly, as if he felt boundless anger at the unknown enemy daring to kill his scout.
"Big brother, let's go with a certain family, you can have a care with the second brother!" Zhang Fei's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he also came out to ask for his life, and Gongsun Zan on the side hurriedly said when he saw this, "Senior brother, a certain family is going with Yun Chang, but I want to see who is so bold!" ”
Liu Bei looked at his senior brother Gongsun Zhan, who suddenly asked for his life, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Hahaha!" Since there is a senior brother who has come out, this matter must be stable, Yide must obey your second brother's orders! ”
"Got it, big brother!" As soon as Zhang Fei heard that he could also go, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his heavy palm and patted his strong chest to reassure.
"Brother Rulin, those scouts we killed won't be discovered, right?" Yue Fei's eyelids couldn't stop beating for some reason, it seemed that he would be like this every time he encountered danger, and asked Zong Ze beside him uneasily, after all, those scouts under Liu Bei were killed by him, and only this person's answer could make him feel at ease... to be continued
