Zhang Yanqin led the iron cavalry battalion and the iron armor battalion to copy, because of the advantage of the armor, the Yuan army could not resist, so they could only retreat in a hurry.

The Yuan army began to retreat, and the Yuan soldiers who had already climbed the city wall were all reduced to the swords of the defenders.

Liu Bei stood on the city wall, looking at the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry led by Zhang Yan, he was very surprised, he never thought that after only a few months of separation from Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was able to create such a sophisticated army of soldiers and horses, which shows how strong Xuzhou is.

At the beginning, Tao Qian insisted on giving him the position of state pastor, but he didn't accept it, and he regretted it too much.

Now he is like a lost dog, driven by people, he is very close to the Han family, how could he fall into such a field?

There is a huge gap in his heart, the more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he becomes, Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, making the Han Dynasty prosperous, the slogan is easy to shout, but it is really done, but how easy is it to say?

At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei was only twenty-four years old, and he married Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as brothers with different surnames, and made an appointment to explore the rivers and lakes together and restore the Han Dynasty together.

Now, ten years have passed, and Liu Bei is already thirty-four years old, and he has long passed the age of standing, but looking back on the past ten years, the road is full of thorns and sadness. And he, still has nothing.

The sky has no eyes!

"Big brother, do you have something on your mind?" I don't know when, Guan Yu walked to Liu Bei's side, and when he saw Liu Bei's brows furrowed and a sad face, as if he was thoughtful, he asked.

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "No...... Nothing ......."

Guan Yu glanced at the Xuzhou soldiers outside the city, and saw that Zhang Yan was majestic, and all he commanded were heavily armed cavalry and infantry, and the equipment was far beyond his imagination. His Danfeng eyes opened a gap slightly, stroked his long hair, and said slowly: "Big brother, we have been brothers for ten years, eating and sleeping together, what else can't you say?" Is the eldest brother regretting that he didn't promise Tao Qian to take over Xuzhou? ”

Liu Bei sighed heavily, "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the ones who know me are also Yun Changye!" ”

Guan Yu comforted: "The matter has passed, what's the use of the eldest brother regretting it?" Besides, even if the eldest brother agreed to Tao Qian and took over Xuzhou for him, since Tao Qian and below, both civil and military affairs are devoted to Zhang Yan, how long can the eldest brother be in charge of Xuzhou? Big brother must not shake his confidence because of a temporary difficulty, Yide and I will swear to follow the eldest brother to the death, and in this life, we will never turn our backs on the eldest brother. I believe that one day, God will see the efforts of the eldest brother and let the eldest brother make a difference! ”

When Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's words, he felt a lot more relieved in his heart, and said slowly: "Thanks to you and my third brother, I am not lonely on the road of life." We have been brothers for ten years, and we have had too many bitterness along the way, and it is precisely because of your company that I can go further on the road of life. Back then, Yue Wang Goujian had been lying on his salary for 20 years, compared with him, my ten years of time have not been in vain! ”

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei had regained his strength, looked at the Xuzhou soldiers who were slowly coming outside the city, and said, "Big brother, the third brother has already accompanied Kong Beihai to the city gate, let's go down as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, took the double swords back into their scabbards, and went down the city tower with Guan Yu.

At the city gate of Zhuxu County, the city gate was wide open, and Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei walked out of the city gate one after another, waiting quietly at the city gate.

After the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Iron Armor Battalion led by Zhang Yan came to clean up the remnants of Yuan's soldiers, they sorted out the formation and came to the city gate together.

Kong Rong saw Zhang Yan leading such an elite team to arrive, his mouth was almost closed in surprise, he would never have imagined that after only a few months of separation from Zhang Yan, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou could be trained to be so strong.

Zhang Yuanjun worked tirelessly and came from afar, which really moved Wenju very much. I have already asked people to prepare a banquet in the county government, and invite Zhang Yuanjun to enter the city, and we will wait for Zhang Yuanjun to pick up the wind and wash the dust! Kong Rong admired the young Zhang Yan very much, and there was more humility in his words, after all, this time is different from the past, Zhang Yan not only led the troops to rescue, but also Xuzhou Mu, no matter which point, he is worthy of his respect.

"In the past, Xuzhou was in trouble and was threatened by Cao Cao, and Master Kong led the army to rescue him in order to advocate benevolence and righteousness. Now that Master Kong is in trouble, how can I not come to the rescue. Zhang Yan hugged his fists.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, Zhang Yan glanced at Liu Bei, who was standing beside Kong Rong, and said busily: "Isn't this Lord Pingyuan Ling?" I didn't expect that we would meet again here. Lord Liu, don't come to harm, are you okay? ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the envoy, everything is fine with me." Liu Beipi smiled and arched his hand.

At this time, Zhang Fei interjected: "Zhang Yuanjun, why did you come so slowly, if you come a little later, we all have to be buried in this city!" ”

"Yide, don't make a mistake!" Liu Bei reprimanded.

Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, I'm not making a mistake, I'm telling the truth." Saving people is like fighting fire, Pengcheng is not too far from Beihai, but he was stunned for three whole days, and if he came a little later, we would all die without a place to be buried! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly explained: "Don't blame Zhang Yuanjun, my third brother has always been straightforward, but in fact, he is really unintention......al."

"Haha...... General Zhang San is right, I should hurry up again. Zhang Yan immediately turned around and pointed to the hoplites and hoplites behind him, "However, my soldiers are wearing such equipment, even if you want to be fast, you can't be fast!" ”

He paused, turned his head again, and said to Kong Rong and Liu Bei: "Fortunately, I arrived in time and didn't let Yuan Jun succeed, otherwise, I would really regret it for life." ”

Kong Rong said: "Zhang Yuanjun, this is not the place to talk, let's go into the city and talk about it slowly!" Please! ”

"There's Lord Laucon!"

A group of people entered the city one after another, whether it was cavalry or infantry from Xuzhou, they were all placed in the barracks near the school field, 8,000 soldiers, no less than one.

Since the day of their creation, the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Iron Armored Battalion are still fighting for the first time today. Today's first victory also happened to give the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Iron Armor Battalion a good start.

In the hall of Zhuxu County, Kong Rong gave up his seat, after all, Zhang Yan is the state pastor, and the big Kong Rong is the first level, and Zhang Yan is here to rescue, so he naturally has to give enough face.

Kong Rong sat on the left with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and Zhang Hong, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin, and Xu Sheng brought by Zhang Yan sat on the right.

Zhang Yan was sitting precariously, and said with some embarrassment: "Today is inevitably a little noisy, but it is a little difficult for Master Kong." ”

"What did Zhang Yuanjun say, with Zhang Yuanjun's identity, he was naturally seated, please don't say anything embarrassing." Kong Rong picked up the wine lord and said loudly, "Come, Zhang Yuanjun, I will toast you with a glass and wash the dust for you!" ”

Zhang Yan was not polite, and took the wine and drank it all.

After three rounds of drinking, Kong Rong became interested in Zhang Hong, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Zhang Yuanjun, is this gentleman ......?"

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce it." This is a famous man in Xuzhou, surnamed Zhang Minghong, the word Zigang, and the current driver in the state. ”

When Kong Rong heard Zhang Hong's name, he was suddenly surprised, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Because Zhang Hong is too famous, and he has never been a celebrity, but now he is Zhang Yan's other driver, which shows the great charm of Zhang Yan. He hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Oh, it turns out that Your Excellency is the famous Mr. Zhang Zigang, Wen Ju has admired the name for a long time, and he has never met. ”

Zhang Hong said: "Kong Beihai has won the award, Kong Beihai is famous all over the world at a young age, and Zigang is nothing compared with Kong Beihai." ”

Kong Rong Ziwenju, a native of Lu State (now Qufu, Shandong), is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, and is a literary scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the head of the famous "Seven Sons of Jian'an" in history. And the most familiar with him is the story of Kong Rong when he was young, and the story of Rang Pear, which is still widely circulated.

Kong Rong generation of Confucian scholars, with the policy of governing the country and the country, spent several years in Beihai, repairing cities, establishing schools, raising talents, showing Confucianism, and won the love of the people.

However, in the military, Kong Rong is a talent who does not enter the stream. It is precisely because of this that he was attacked by Yuan Tan and fled to Zhu Xu in embarrassment.

Kong Rong arranged for Zhang Yan and others to rest in the county office, but Zhang Yan refused, Zhang Yan took Zhang Hong, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng and others back to the barracks, saying that it was more convenient to discuss military aircraft.

After returning to the barracks, Zhang Yan left Zhang Hong alone and asked, "Mr. Zigang, Yuan's army will attack the city tomorrow, and his troops are several times that of mine, do you have any strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Zhang Hong said: "The lord only led the iron cavalry battalion and the iron armor battalion to support this time, which is enough to show that the lord is confident, and in today's battle, I also saw it with my own eyes, the iron cavalry and the second battalion of the iron armor are not afraid of Yuan Jun's swords and guns at all, wearing such haode armor, there is no need to be afraid of Yuan Jun at all, just rush up, what other strategy?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Sir, are you sarcastic about me?" Others don't know, don't you know sir yet? What I want is not a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but a strategy to destroy the enemy. Those who retreat from the enemy, just let Yuan Jun retreat, I have such a strategy. But if you want to frighten the enemy army and make it fearless, you will never dare to underestimate our army, but you still need such a great wisdom and strategy of Mr. to mention it. ”

Zhang Hong thought for a moment, and then said: "Lord, Yuan Jun came this time, it can be described as menacing, Yuan Shao appointed Yuan Tan as the assassin of Qingzhou, and his purpose is to seize the entire Qingzhou. Qingzhou borders Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou, and if Yuan Shao gets Qingzhou, he can expand his territory, increase taxes and people, and second, he can use Qingzhou as a military outpost to win the Central Plains. It can be said that Yuan Shao is bound to win Qingzhou. Our army is now at war with Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a deep friendship, if our army offends Yuan Shao again, it is tantamount to making enemies for themselves. In case Yuan Shao and Cao Cao join forces, how many people in the world are their opponents? I thought that this time the lord led the army to save Kong Rong, and it should be for the purpose of saving, not to make enemies with Yuan Shao and make enemies for himself. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yan frowned, and felt that Zhang Hong's words were very reasonable, so he said, "Sir, you go on." ”
