Of course, Lu Ren would not be so kind to help Cibei. In fact, what Lu Ren said to Cibei was what Lu Ren had planned a long time ago. Originally, according to Lu Ren's original intention, it was to carry out the trade with the Himiko tribe subtly and slowly, but he didn't expect that Cibei would directly come to himself like this, and the result was that some of the things that Lu Ren was going to do could basically be put on the bright side.

Of course, this is a good thing, others are willing to take the initiative to cooperate, it is much better than playing insidious little by little here, right? However, from another point of view, the second Bei Guild proposed to Lu Ren to send troops to support at this point, so how bad is the status and strength of the Himiko clan in the Yamadai region?

However, when the time is calculated, Himihu sent people to the Wei Dynasty in the second or third year of the Wei calendar, and the year of the Common Era is AD238 or AD239, and now Lu Ren is in the time point of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, AD208, in other words, the matter of Himiko sending people to the Wei Dynasty is twenty years later, roughly speaking, it is just in the period when the strength of the Himiko tribe is gradually weakening, and the war situation on the Wajima side is also beginning. Cibei is that his family knows his own affairs, and he feels that the strength of his own clan is gradually weakening, and he happened to run into Lu Ren by mistake, so it makes perfect sense to ask Lu Ren to send troops to support.

Not to mention what the idea of inferiority is, Lu Ren's reluctance to send troops to Yamatai certainly has its own reasons. The main reason is, of course, that Lu Ren does not want to send out his already limited forces at this critical time, and on the other hand, Lu Ren also does not want to waste his precious troops on the territory of Wajima.

On this issue, Lu Ren's plan to Cibei seems to be Lu Ren's money to fund the Himiko clan, but in fact, Lu Ren's biggest intention is to let the local people of Wajima fight their own battles. It's ridiculous to say, Lu Ren's method was still learned from the devil soldiers, to put it bluntly and politely, Lu Ren actually cultivated the Himiko tribe and the tribes that were friendly with the Himihu tribe as a puppet army.

What is the Puppet Army? To put it bluntly, it is synonymous with cannon fodder.

Knock -

Zhang Fei put the wine jar heavily on the table, and the muffled sound of the wine jar hitting the wooden board made Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, the two lieutenants, feel nervous. saw Zhang Fei holding his hands in his arms, a pair of leopard eyes staring at the old round, and sat down at the table to look at the wine jar on the table. The corners of his mouth curved downward, his throat kept moving, and his face was stinking terribly. He looked like a child looking at the candy in other people's hands, but he couldn't eat it. If Lu Ren saw this scene, he might laugh heartily, and then a word popped out of his mouth - cute. Yes, in a sense, Zhang Fei is actually a very cute person.

However, Zhang Fei's cuteness is for people who are purely watching dramas. The current picture is a bit funny, but Fan Jiang and Zhang Da couldn't laugh, but they each wiped cold sweat. As Zhang Fei's lieutenant general, Liu Bei Ke had something to say to them, so that the two of them had a mission to supervise Zhang Fei. The question is, do Fan Jiang and Zhang Da dare to provoke Zhang Fei?

Zhang Fei stared at the wine jar for a long time, and suddenly his left hand pressed the wine jar, and his right hand slowly raised, seeing that the posture was to pat the sealing mud on the wine jar. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who were standing on the side, were suffocated at the same time, Zhang Da suddenly dodged and bumped into Fan Jiang, and Fan Jiang was unprepared by Zhang Da in front of Zhang Fei's table.

Directly in front of Zhang Fei was the jar of wine, and when he saw Fan Jiang flashing out, he tilted his head behind the jar and glanced at Fan Jiang, and said sullenly: "What are you doing?" ”

Fan Jiang glanced at Zhang Da angrily from the corner of his eye, and cautiously knelt down on one knee to Zhang Fei and said, "Third General, before you came to Jiangling, you personally promised your lord that you would not drink a drop of wine before you returned to Jiangxia. But now ......" Seeing that Zhang Fei's face was getting more and more ugly, Fan Jiang really didn't have the courage to say any more.

The big tent was quiet for a few minutes, and Zhang Fei suddenly slapped the table hard: "Wow, ah, ah, I'm so angry!" ”

This series of muffled shouts scared Fan Jiang and Zhang Da a lot, and it seemed that Zhang Fei was going to get angry. According to the usual painful experience, as soon as Zhang Fei started the fire, the two of them suffered.

However, Zhang Fei was angry, and now he didn't send it to the two of them, nor did he pat the sealing mud on the wine jar, but crossed his hands on his waist and roared angrily in the tent: "Big brother is really, why do you have to listen to that hairy boy (referring to Zhuge Liang) in everything?" Now it's clear that Kong Ming doesn't let me drink alcohol, but he wants to use my eldest brother to pressure me. You say, I can not listen to anyone, but I can't ignore my eldest brother, right? ”

"Yes, yes......" Fan Jiang and Zhang Da secretly wiped their sweat and nodded like pounding garlic.

Zhang Fei then roared in a voice that could burst the eardrums of the two of them: "What's even more infuriating is that Kong Ming also made a bet with me, if I can not drink a drop of wine before returning to Jiangxia, he will lose twenty jars of Yizhou's finest wine to me." You say, why did I Lao Zhang promise him at that time? NND, I also came to the energy as soon as I heard about the good wine in Yizhou, and I fell for Kong Ming when I was hot-headed! Kong Ming, a hairy boy, looks like a gentleman, but in fact, he has more bad water in his stomach than anyone else! ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da each lowered their heads, not daring Zhang Fei to see their strange expressions that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Zhang Fei ignored the two, and stared at the wine jar for a while before punching the table fiercely, striding out of the tent with his hands on his waist and sulking, and still muttering in his mouth: "If you don't drink, you won't drink, my old Zhang is a dignified eight-foot man, even if he falls for Kong Ming, he can't lose his credit, and besides, I promised my eldest brother's ......."

Zhang Fei came out of the big tent here, and Fan Jiang and Zhang Da over there glanced at each other, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief. They each stretched out their sleeves and wiped them, and their foreheads were full of cold sweat. The two of them just wanted to sit down and take a break to catch their breath, but they heard Zhang Fei's almost frantic roar outside the tent: "Wow, ah, I'm angry, I'm angry!" Why was Zilong able to take thousands of people to Xinye to fight with the vanguard of the Cao army, but I, Lao Zhang, wanted to do this bird errand of transporting grain and grass here! Kong Ming, you are eccentric! Where is my old Zhang not as good as Zilong, isn't he handsome without Zilong, and he is not as pleasing to the eye as Zilong in the past!? ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da in the tent glanced at each other, both laughed dumbly, and whispered: "It seems that this is not a question of whether he is handsome or not, right?" General Zilong is much more kind, and he is both civil and military and can listen to people's words, how can he go crazy at every turn like our third general? General Zilong and the Shan Army Division went to Xinye to use clever tricks, if they changed our three generals, they would definitely fight with Cao Jun. ”

After muttering, the two chased Zhang Fei out of the big tent, and saw Zhang Fei punching the sandbag punch after punch to get angry. After pounding for a while, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped, tilted his head as if he remembered something. After a while, Zhang Fei patted his head and said with a smile: "Big brother and Kong Ming just don't let me drink, I'm afraid that I will make a mistake after drinking, but I didn't say anything else and didn't let me drink!" Well, let me think about it...... Fan Jiang, Zhang Da! ”

"In! What did the three generals command? ”

"Go and tell the cook, go to the nearby orchard to buy dozens of catties of all kinds of fruits, and squeeze out the juice for me to drink! Isn't this always a bar? It's not drunk again, and the eldest brother and Kong Ming have nothing to say, go quickly! Oh yes, when Lu Yihao hadn't left Jingzhou, he sent me a few juice squeezing utensils, and I remember that the cook had a commonly used one, so I used that squeezing! Also, Mi Yatou came to Jingzhou this time to send some high-quality sugarcane from Yizhou to me, and squeezed the remaining catties of what I ate! ”

“…… No, no. ”

――――――

Here, Zhang Fei is in the port, and Xia Houdun has led nearly 10,000 cavalry to approach Jiangling City. The defenders of Jiangling had little combat effectiveness, and they were all busy loading trucks and transporting grain, plus filling their pockets and deserting, and they were defeated by Xia Houdun's cavalry outside the city alone and intercepted a batch of grain trucks. Immediately afterwards, Xia Houdun bribed a group of captive Jiangling defenders, first sent them back to Jiangling, and then when attacking Jiangling City, these prisoners opened the city gates, and Jiangling City fell into the hands of Cao's army. The grain, grass and military supplies in Gangneung City could no longer be transported. From then on, everyone knows what Xia Houdun will do, that is, after a short rest, he will prepare to attack the port where Zhang Fei is located.

This kind of important military situation was soon known to Zhang Fei, who was in the port, and Zhang Fei, who was in charge of big fish and meat with juice, was furious when he heard the news, and the dining table was lifted by him on the spot, and he jumped up and shouted: "Cao Bing came so fast!" Come on, order troops and prepare horses! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da immediately took action, but they were called back by Zhang Fei just after they came out of the account. The two of them were puzzled, and saw Zhang Fei tilting his head and reaching out to pick up his beard like a steel needle, as if thinking about something. The two were dumbfounded again, they had also followed Zhang Fei for a few years, had they ever seen Zhang Fei think like this when they had been? Looking at that posture, Zhang Fei still plans to use it?

Zhang Fei said to himself: "I only have more than 3,000 soldiers brought from Jiangxia here, and they are all foot soldiers, but the one-eyed Xia Hou has 10,000 cavalry, not counting the defenders who surrendered in Jiangling City, and left the port to fight against Xia Houdun, my foot soldiers and Xia Houdun's cavalry to touch, I have suffered too much in terms of combat strength...... Besides, there is still a batch of grain and grass in the port being loaded, no more or less, if I lose it, I must not be blamed by the eldest brother, Kong Ming's kid will be made fun of by him. Hmmm......"

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were really speechless, Xia Houdun's cavalry may arrive at any time, Zhang Fei, who has always heard that there is a battle to fight, is happier than anything else, but he learned Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu here, isn't this making people laugh and cry?

Speechless, Zhang Fei suddenly smiled, called the two of them closer, and whispered a few words. After the order, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da glanced at each other, and there was the same sentence in their hearts: "This is our brave but reckless General Zhang San?" (To be continued.) )
