Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!

Xu Chu's knife slashed over, seemingly plain, but it concealed profound skills, the big knife drove the surrounding air, and a strong murderous aura came to his face.

"Bang!"

The swords and halberds intersected, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and a huge liliang was transmitted to Dian Wei through the double iron halberd.

"This guy has a lot of strength...... Dian Wei frowned, he didn't dare to underestimate Xu Chu, so he immediately abandoned Zhang Yan and went all out to meet Xu Chu.

In an instant, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were entangled together, both of them were like fierce tigers, fighting, and the qi waves driven by the two could be felt within two meters around.

Zhang Yan retreated to the middle of the formation, commanded the archers to release arrows outward, and hoped to stabilize the formation as soon as possible.

The two armies fought fiercely on this land, and Zhang Yan, in order to be able to reach Dingtao within one day, did not bring heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, and lost the protection of his armor, and the number of casualties greatly increased.

For a time, corpses were strewn all over the field, rivers of blood flowed, and screams were repeated.

The fierce battle between the two armies attracted the attention of the scouts of Lü Bu's army, and when the scouts saw the Xuzhou soldiers being ambushed by Cao's army, they immediately rode back to Dingtao City and informed Lü Bu of this important news.

After receiving the news, Lu Bu immediately ordered 500 cavalry, led Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others, and asked Chen Gong and Hao Meng to guard the city and go to rescue Zhang Yan.

Although the Xuzhou soldiers were ambushed by the Cao army, under the command of Zhang Yan, they gradually stabilized their positions and began to counterattack the Cao army.

The battle between the two armies was fierce, Dian Wei and Xu Chu fought for more than 20 rounds, and they were evenly divided, while Tai Shici, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng and others were leading their troops to fight fiercely with Cao's army.

Xiahou Yuan led his troops to rush to Zhang Yan's position, but was repelled several times by Zhang Yan's command archers.

Cao Cao rode a horse, watched from a distance, and saw the combat effectiveness of Zhang Yan and others, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "I haven't seen you for several months, I don't want the Xuzhou soldiers to have such combat effectiveness, Zhang Yan's account seems to have added a few more fierce generals......"

At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly led his army to kill, and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other cavalry followed, directly rampage from behind Cao's army.

For a time, the Cao army was in a mess, and Lu Bu took the lead, taking the lead, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were both brave, and the cadres were like a sharp knife, and they were like a sharp knife, and they smashed into the encirclement of the Cao army like a bamboo.

The arrival of Lu Bu surprised Cao Cao, and the collision of hundreds of cavalry was stunned to kill a bloody road, and soon the Xuzhou soldiers could be integrated.

"Dian Wei!" Lu Bu suddenly saw that Dian Wei was fighting with Xu Chu, shouted, and immediately rode his horse towards Dian Wei, and Fang Tian painted a halberd and stabbed towards Dian Wei's vital point like a lightning speed.

Dian Wei was taken aback when he saw Lu Bu suddenly arrive, there was Xu Chu in front and Lu Bu in the back, if he was caught between these two people, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death.

It was too late, it was too fast, Dian Wei's double iron halberd swung forward, forced Xu Chu away, turned the horse's head, and rode the horse to the side to kill him.

Lu Bu hurried over, and when he saw Dian Wei fleeing, he pounced, and he didn't chase it, but shouted directly at Zhang Yan: "Zhang Andong, please follow me quickly!" ”

Zhang Yan was also overjoyed when he saw Lu Bu arrive, he saw that Lu Bu and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others had turned their horses' heads and rushed out towards the outside, so he immediately ordered the whole army to follow Lu Bu and others to break through together.

Lu Bu was in front, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were on the side, Zhang Yan, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng and others also followed, Cao Jun couldn't resist, and was killed by Lu Bu and others, and rushed towards Dingtao City.

Cao Cao saw that Zhang Yan was rescued by Lu Bu, and did not order a pursuit, the purpose of his ambush was not to expect to be able to eliminate Zhang Yan, but to think of a purpose to weaken Zhang Yan.

Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others returned to Dingtao together, and the gate of Dingtao City was closed and strict precautions were taken.

After Zhang Yan entered Dingtao City, he only felt that his face was dull, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by Cao Cao. He asked his subordinates to take a closer count, and then he learned that more than 1,500 people were killed in this battle, and more than 2,000 were injured to varying degrees.

The whole army, like a defeated rooster, hung its head.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Yan arched his hand and said to Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, I really don't know how to thank you this time......

Lu Bu said: "Zhang Andong doesn't have to be like this, now that our two armies are allied and advance and retreat together, we should help each other." Besides, last time under Puyang City, if Zhang Andong hadn't led the army to arrive in time and lead our army out of the encirclement, I am afraid that our army would have been wiped out. One life for another, and we can be considered even. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu turned to Gao Shun and said, "Many of Zhang Andong's subordinates are injured, and immediately go to ask the doctors in the city to treat them well." ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Yan then asked Niu Jin and Xu Sheng to take the wounded soldiers to the barracks with Gao Shun to wait for treatment.

He also asked Tai Shici and Xu Chu to lead troops to guard the city gate to help Lu Bu's soldiers and horses defend the city.

However, on the grounds that the Xuzhou soldiers had come from afar, Lü Bu suggested that Zhang Yan's army should rest first tonight, and let Zhang Liao arrange the military camp.

Zhang Yan did not refuse, so he asked Tai Shici and Xu Chu to follow Zhang Liao with the soldiers, while he returned to the Taishou Mansion alone with Lu Bu.

In the Taishou Mansion, Lu Bu had already prepared a banquet, personally feasted Zhang Yan, and asked people to prepare some good wine and food, and sent them to the military camp together for Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng and others to enjoy, and let Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others accompany him.

In the hall, there were only three people, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, and Chen Gong.

Lu Bu is still grateful for Zhang Yan's quick rescue of Lu Bu, after all, he is already at the end of the crossbow, and the only one who can rely on him is Zhang Yan. If Zhang Yan doesn't come to rescue him, I'm afraid that he is very likely to be eliminated by Cao Cao.

A few months ago, Lu Bu took advantage of Cao Cao's troops to lead the troops and Yanzhou was empty, at the invitation of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, he appointed himself as the pastor of Yanzhou, and fought without declaring war.

There are too many ups and downs in life, and Lu Bu has nothing to say about his failed life.

"Zhang Andong, you and I are too lonely to drink like this, why don't you enjoy a song and dance?" Lu Bu was depressed, so he wanted to relieve himself with singing and dancing.

Zhang Yan said: "Brother Feng is the master, I am the guest, and the guest is as the master as he pleases." ”

Lu Bu smiled, so he said to the maid beside him, "Go and invite Mrs. Cicada!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the maid left the hall and entered the back hall.

After a short time, a very beautiful woman came out of the back hall, the woman's long black hair was noblely coiled, dignified and elegant, and her jade-like cheeks were inlaid with two shining eyes like stars, as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water.

A charming face with a shallow smile, big eyes looking forward to life, once it appeared, the smart eyes swept over the people in the hall, and when they saw Zhang Yan, they bowed to Zhang Yan very politely.

The woman walked to Lu Bu's side, also owed a debt, and said to Lu Bu: "I don't know what the general called me?" ”

"Diao Chan, I'm here to feast Zhang Andong, there is wine but no singing, it's too lonely, you are the best at singing and dancing, why don't you dance a song for me?" Lu Bu grabbed the woman's hand and said with great pity.

When Zhang Yan heard Lu Bu call this woman Diao Chan, he didn't know Weishenme, his eyes involuntarily looked towards the woman, but when he saw Diao Chan, every move, every smile was fascinating.

It's just that her petite body and unbearable waist look a little weak, which makes people feel sad when they see it.

"Is she Diao? Sure enough, it's a peerless beauty......"

Diao Chan looks like he is only in his early twenties, but Lu Bu is thirty-eight or nineteen years old, no matter how Zhang Yan looks at it, he feels that Diao Chan follows Lu Bu and looks a little compromised.

Zhang Yan retracted his gaze, afraid that staying on Diao Chan for a long time would arouse Lu Bu's suspicions. When he lowered his eyes, he inadvertently saw that Chen Gong, who was sitting opposite him, was staring intently at Diao Chan, and his eyes showed a bit of greed.

Diao Chan's beauty is enough to fascinate all beings, and Chen Gong is also a man, so naturally he is no exception. However, Chen Gong quickly withdrew his gaze, and inadvertently collided with Zhang Yan's gaze, and their eyes met.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Gong noticed that a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yan's mouth, and the Dao essence light shot out of those deep eyes seemed to have seen him through, making him a little uneasy.

Soon, the musicians were invited into the hall and played silk bamboo and qin on the side, and Diao Chan had already walked to the center of the hall and began to dance to the beautiful music.

Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan intently, looking at Diao Chan's graceful figure and dancing, as if he could forget all the troubles in the world.

Zhang Yan also watched Diao Chan dance, but he noticed that Diao Chan's face was expressionless, and his deep eyes were even more dim, and his eyes were gloomy, like a soulless body, just writhing mechanically.

For some reason, there was a trace of pity in Zhang Yan's heart, in the depths of this beautiful face, what kind of person is Diao Chan?

Lu Bu watched the singing and dancing while drinking, and from time to time he let out one or two cheers, the wine was not intoxicating, people were drunk, and soon, Lu Bu was drunk in this graceful song and dance.

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was drunk, so he stopped singing and dancing, Diao Chan and the maid helped Lu Bu into the room, and Zhang Yan slept in the guest room of Taishou Mansion under Chen Gong's arrangement.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, Zhang Yan came to the guest room, ready to sleep, but the voice of Diao Chan always floated in his mind, and that pitiful appearance always made people feel distressed.

In his heart, an evil fire also sparked, which made his heart itch and toss and turn, but he couldn't sleep.

The night gradually deepened, but Zhang Yan had no intention of sleeping, so in desperation, he had to go out of the room and go to the pavilion in the courtyard to admire the moon.

In the Taishou Mansion, quietly, the place where he lives is the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, where Lu Bu and his wife and concubine live, and the guards are only guarding outside the courtyard, so generally no one disturbs.

Zhang Yan walked out of the room and went straight towards the gazebo, which he had noticed when he passed by here during the day. I know that there is a rockery, and the pavilion is built on top of a lotus pond, the scenery is pleasant, and it is a good place for leisure.

He had just bypassed the rockery and was about to reach the pavilion of the lotus pond, but suddenly heard a coquettish sound, and looked over, and saw a woman sitting in the pavilion, reflecting the bright moonlight, and he could clearly see the woman's face, which was actually Diao Chan.

In the dead of night, Diao Chan sat alone in the gazebo, and frowned, as if he had something on his mind.

In one day, let Zhang Yan see Diao Chan twice, and this time it was a lonely man and a widow, as if God arranged Haode. Since it is such a coincidence, Zhang Yan is naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity, and it is also haode to have a beautiful woman to chat with him on a lonely night.

So, he turned out from behind the rockery and said with a smile: "Mrs. Cicada is so Yaxing, I didn't expect to admire the moon here?" ”

Diao Chan suddenly heard Zhang Yan's voice, and saw a black shadow appear, Deng Shi became nervous, hurriedly took two steps back, and asked, "Who?" ”

Zhang Yan walked into Diao Chan, walked under the moonlight, immediately showed his identity, and said respectfully to Diao Chan: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Cicada, it's me, Xuzhou Mu and Anton General Zhang Yan, we met at the banquet tonight ......"

Diao Chan saw Zhang Yan coming, his heart was a little relieved, and he immediately bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "It turned out to be Zhang Yuanjun, the little woman is so polite!" ”
