270. Chapter 270: Confrontation
Fan Chou took a breath and finished telling all the battles before sighing: "Although I didn't experience that war, I still admire the spirit of the soldiers in Bingzhou. β
"Nearly two thousand remnants of soldiers, after being besieged by the Xiliang army, not a single one surrendered."
After speaking, Fan Chou sighed.
People have a natural fear of death. Generosity is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.
Therefore, even if he was on the enemy side, Fan Chou couldn't help but sincerely admire those soldiers who joined the state.
Chen Xu heard Xu Huang stab Hu Zhen to death with an arrow, and then fell into the water and was shot by countless arrows; and Guan Haining was unyielding, and after falling to the ground with several arrows in his body, a trace of red flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his fists, his joints 'clicking', and only then did he hold back his anger and the grief in his heart.
At the beginning, Chen Xu, who only saw a coffin, still had some illusions and apprehensions in his heart. After seeing that the person lying inside was Yang Feng, Chen Xu was grieving, but he also had a trace of happiness in his heart.
Among the three generals of the middle army, Chen Xu values Xu Huang the most. This time, let him go out with the army as a deputy general, which is not without the intention of promoting.
It was only the change in the situation of the battle that the middle army was annihilated. However, in Chen Xu's heart, he always hoped that Xu Huang would still be alive.
I heard that Xu Huang fell into the flood and was shot to death by the Xiliang army. The glimmer of hope in Chen Xu's heart was shattered.
Chen Xu raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Where are the bodies of Gongming and Guan Hai?" β
seemed to feel the vigorous anger in Chen Xu's heart. Fan Chou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The flood in the Baibo Valley is too big, and the current is very fast, so I haven't recovered General Xu's body. β
No one is alive, no corpse is dead. When the generals of the state heard this, they were immediately angry.
Fan Chou was afraid of incurring the anger of Chen Xu and others, so he hurriedly began to explain.
"Not only Xu Huangjun, but even the body of General Hu Zhen was washed away by the flood, and the soldiers had no time to salvage it. It wasn't until after the war subsided, after many days, that General Hu Zhen's body was found to have been soaked in the river. β
Hearing this, the generals of the state softened slightly. The body of the chief general of the Xiliang Army was not salvaged at the beginning. It can be seen that the failure to find Xu Huang's body is not a deliberate slack in the Xiliang Army.
Seeing that everyone's faces were slightly softened, Fan Chou struck while the iron was hot and said: "Although General Guan Hai is loyal and righteous, he has several arrows in his body, and he swears not to surrender. β
"However, because General Guan Hai was wearing heavy armor, he barely managed to save his life. Now, General Guan Hai is in the Xiliang military camp in Hedong County, receiving treatment, and his life is no longer in danger. β
Chen Xu suddenly heard that Guan Hai was not dead, and he was overjoyed. He hurriedly got up and grabbed Fan Chou's arm and said, "Ah Hai is really not dead? β
Fan Chou, who was pinched by Chen Xu's arm, felt a burst of pain coming, and his face changed.
In the past, there were many rumors that Chen Xu was a peerless general.
At first, Fan Chou thought it was boasting. But today, feeling Chen Xu's amazing strength, he believed this rumor.
Seeing Fan Chou's somewhat red face, Chen Xu knew that he had lost his temper. He let go of Fan Chou's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." β
Fan Chou quietly withdrew his arm and said nonchalantly: "It's okay! β
Then, he sighed faintly again: "At that time, although General Hu Zhen was killed by Xu Gongming. Hu Feng, the deputy general of the Xiliang Army, still ordered not to hurt General Guan's life. β
"However, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, which makes General Guan seriously injured."
"General Hu Feng later cleaned up the battlefield and found that General Guan had not yet died, so he quickly called medical workers and made every effort to rescue General Guan."
After confirming that Guan Hai was not dead, Chen Xu regained his composure again. He sat back on the throne, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
After carefully observing Chen Xu's face, Fan Choucai said: "My Xiliang Army and Bingzhou have never had a grudge in the past. It was precisely because of the general's reckless sword use that he was defeated. β
"I hope the general will take this as a warning, don't despise my Xiliang Army."
Lu Bu on the side, annoyed that Fang Cai Fan scolded him, and he was always angry in his heart.
After hearing Fan Chou's words, Lu Bu suddenly scolded angrily: "Rebel ministers and thieves, anti-country and traitors." It's just a fluke victory, how dare it be so rampant? β
When Zhao Yun and the others heard Lu Bu's words, they all nodded and pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords. What Fan Choufang said was a little contemptuous of the state army.
Although Lu Bu spoke out, it was because of his own personal grudges, but he also maintained the face of the Bingzhou army.
Fan Chou has never had a good face for Lu Bu. After hearing his words, Fan Chou just said lightly: "The master didn't speak, and a guard dog actually dared to bark here?" β
When Lu Bu heard this, he was furious, and he didn't care whether Chen Xu agreed, he pulled out the sword in his waist and was about to step forward to kill Fan Chou.
Fan Chou still stood with his head held high, looking at Chen Xu on the main seat. He knew in his heart that Chen Xu would definitely not sit idly by and watch Lu Bu kill him.
However, Chen Xu had no intention of stopping it. He just had a gloomy face, squinted his eyes, and didn't move.
Seeing that Lu Bu had already been killed, Chen Xu still didn't say anything. Fan Chou's heart couldn't help but be a little afraid. He shouted, "Your master has not spoken, how dare you kill me?" β
When Lu Bu heard this, he was even more angry in his heart. But the strength in his hand involuntarily tightened a little. Then, he secretly glanced at Chen Xu a few times with his spare eyes.
Lu Bu could feel that Chen Xu was not Dong Zhuo, let alone Ding Yuan. For some reason, every time he saw Chen Xu's ancient and modern face, he always felt a little timid.
After all, he is now living under Chen Xu. If you kill someone rashly, I don't know what Chen Xu will think.
Taking advantage of Lu Bu's distraction, Fan Chou hurriedly hid to the side. Rao was like this, and his right arm was also stabbed by Lu Bu.
"Uncle, stop for the time being!"
At the moment when Fan Chou felt the shadow of death, Chen Xu's heavenly voice came to his ears.
Although Lu Bu could kill the defenseless Fan Chou, but now he didn't dare to disobey Chen Xu's orders. Moreover, Chen Xu called him 'uncle', which had already given Lu Bu enough face.
Lu Bu will not be embarrassed.
He gathered his sword and stood, and there was a red stain of blood on the tip of the sword in his right hand. Fan Chou covered his arms and looked at Lu Bu with a resentful face.
Chen Xu stepped down from the main seat, came to Fan Chou, stared at him and said gloomily: "Although I respect your loyalty and bravery, I will not tolerate you again and again to drive a wedge between me and Wen Hou. β
"If you don't know what to do, I don't mind killing you and letting the Xiliang Army come to discuss it with another person."
Chen Xu's words made Fan Chou's heart tremble suddenly. He endured the pain in his arm and did not continue to speak.
When Fan Chou first came, he said that Lu Bu had killed the lord twice, just because he wanted Chen Xu to be jealous of Lu Bu, and it was best to kill Lu Bu directly.
This is Fan Chou's first separation.
Just now he said that Lu Bu was one of Chen Xu's dogs, and he wanted to anger the arrogant Lu Bu and make him feel a sense of humiliation in his heart. In this way, Lu Bu will definitely have a heart knot.
This is Fan Chou's second separation.
Fan Chou's intentions can not be described as vicious.
Chen Xu didn't pay any attention to Fan Chou, but came to Lu Bu, bowed to him, and said, "Qiling married me, you are my uncle and my elder." β
He raised his left hand, pointed to the sky, and said, "I, Chen Xu, swear here, that my uncle will not live up to me in this life, and I will never fail my uncle." If this oath is violated, it will be like this case! β
"Click!"
After Chen Xu finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the saber in his waist and cut the table next to him in half.
Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Fan Chou on the side sighed in his heart: "Chen Wenzhao, there is really the wind of a hero!" β
After thinking about it, he handed the letter in his hand to Chen Xu and said, "If you can withdraw your troops and conclude an alliance with the Xiliang Army again." We can not only release General Guan Hai, but also be willing to subordinate the two eastern counties to the two counties and give them up! β
What kind of courage is it to give up the two eastern counties? When the generals heard this, they immediately discussed it.
Chen Xu snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what you said about the two eastern counties of Sili, but Hedong County and Hongnong County? β
Fan Chou shook his head and said, "It's Hanoi County and Henan Yin." β
When Chen Xu heard this, he laughed angrily and said, "Now these two county towns have been taken by our army. β
"You have given us the two counties that we have conquered as gifts. Do you want me to join the state army, ignore the tragic death of the general, the destruction of 30,000 soldiers, and conclude an alliance with Xiliang? β
"Such a naΓ―ve idea, is it to deceive me and be incompetent?"
After Chen Xu finished speaking, he suddenly stepped forward and put the sword in his hand on Fan Chou's neck.
When the rest of the generals heard this, they also suddenly realized, and they scolded one after another: "The thief is so cunning! β
Fan Chou ignored it at all, the sharp blade on his neck, puffed up his chest, and said with a laugh: "My Xiliang Army doesn't want to be an enemy of Bingzhou, it's not that I'm afraid of you. β
"Now Kei Pass, Hangu Pass, and Luhun Pass are all heavily guarded. The county seat of Puzi and the camp in the south of Qiyuan blocked the road for the Bingzhou army to go south. β
"I, the hundreds of thousands of sons of the Xiliang Army, are getting ready to go. Does Chen Bingzhou really want to be with me Xiliang and never die? β
Speaking of this, Fan Chou's voice was full of expression.
He has such confidence, and he is not at fault.
Kei Pass, Hangu Pass, and Luhun Pass are all dangerous passes in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the state army wants to storm these checkpoints, it will not be easy.
Puzi County and the camp in the south of Qiyuan, due to the high mountains and dangerous roads, as long as the defending general does not go out of the city to face the battle, it is also difficult for the state army to conquer.
Faced with such a situation, either the two sides will strike or form a long-term confrontation. If this is the case, neither the state army nor the Xiliang army will have enough food and grass to continue to support this protracted war against Japan.
Chen Xu's mind was in a hurry, he suddenly threw away the sword in his hand, stepped forward to pull Fan Chou, and said with a laugh: "It's just a joke, just to see the general's courage!" β
