【Chapter 718】 Woe to Xiao Wall
In front of the Allied front.
Just as Li Li lamented Wen Chou's extraordinary martial arts, the allied princes were quite dissatisfied with Wen Chou's appearance in front of the battle, and the most publicized of them was the most public.
Before this, Zhang Yang felt that among the generals of Jizhou, Wen Chou and Yan Liang were the most arrogant, and there was no one in their eyes, every time they saw him come to see Yuan Shao, these two people always had to interrogate, and then reluctantly let him in. And these are in Zhang Yang's eyes, that is, picking his nose and eyes, and deliberately making things difficult for him, which makes him lose face and often resent.
However, Wen Chou and Yan Liang are both Yuan Shao's trusted henchmen and generals, and their weight is much heavier than his publicity, so even if he is unwilling and bitter, he has nowhere to confide, so he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, swallow his anger, and admit that he is unlucky, I don't know when he offended these two plague gods, and let them look at him so unpleasantly.
Therefore, now seeing Wen Chou fighting with the enemy general Gan Ning in front of the battle, Zhang Yang's mood is very complicated, and the expression on his face is ugly and very unhappy.
In terms of the current situation and his own interests, Zhang Yang hoped that the allies would defeat the Western Liang army in one fell swoop this time, and even if they could not capture Hangu Pass, they would inflict heavy losses on Li Li and his Western Liang army, so that he could continue to claim Hanoi County, and even pick up a Hedong County for nothing. Therefore, at this moment, he rationally hoped that Wen Chou could kill the enemy general Gan Ning and win the first battle for the allies.
However, in terms of personal emotions and likes and dislikes, Zhang Yang hoped that Wen Chou would be defeated, defeated by Gan Ning and returned, and even died completely in front of the battle with blood splashed on the spot, which was no better. Because he doesn't want to see Wen Chou's dead face again, and he doesn't want to be angry with Wen Chou and Yan Liang anymore. It's a hundred, out of sight and out of mind, so that I don't have to sulk for these two plague gods in the future.
Like Zhang Yang, there are things like intrigue and ghosts. Among the Allied forces, there are not a few, and this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe even Yuan Shao didn't know that Zhang Yang, who he trusted very much, actually had a grudge against General Wen Chou Yan Liang, and it had been a long time, but he had been holding back, so that Yuan Shao had always been kept in the dark and didn't know what was going on. And it is even more impossible for him to know why Zhang Yang is attached to him or to serve him. He was respectful and very well-behaved in front of him, but in fact, he was not sincerely loyal to him, but forced by him and had to do it.
Hanoi is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. Bordering Jizhou, there were white wave thieves in the north, and the Montenegrin army in the east was harassing, and he was disrespectful to Li Li in the west in his early years. As a result, Li Li was very displeased with him. He had already been deposed from Hanoi Taishou. In such a complex environment, Zhang Yang must find a backer for himself, so as not to have a way out and save his life when Li Li does something to him one day earlier. And there are not many princes he can rely on, either to take refuge in Yuan Shao in Jizhou, or to Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and under one of the two choices, he decisively chose to rely on Yuan Shao. Because Yuan Shao's power is greater than Cao Cao's.
But this was all a choice made two years ago, when Zhang Yang had no third way to choose. can only secretly cling to Yuan Shao and survive in the cracks. But now it is different from the past, Lu Bu has seized Cao Cao's foundation and occupied Yanzhou, while Zhang Yang and Lu Bu are old acquaintances and have a very close personal relationship, which provides Zhang Yang with more choices. Moreover, Lu Bu's military advisor Chen Gong had a deep conversation with him several times in private, and the intention of wooing was revealed in and out of his words, which made Zhang Yang quite moved, and he was still hesitating and considering it, and had not yet made a final decision. He was prepared to wait a little longer and make a decision after the battle of Hangu was over, for fear that he would lose the whole game if he accidentally did so.
"Does the alliance leader know the origin of this enemy general Gan Ning? Why had I never heard of such a fierce general under Li Thief before, and he could draw with Wen Chou? Just when Zhang Yang was secretly calculating, Liu Bei, who was not far away, asked Yuan Shao softly.
Yuan Shao's eyes froze when he heard this, a faint gloom appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan has never heard of this thief's name, so he must be a reckless ranger." Li Thief has always known unknown people, and most of the generals under his command are reckless warriors from common people; As long as someone defects to him, regardless of character or rank, he will be included in his command. The same must be true of this Gan Ning in front of him. However, this thief has some courage, and he actually fought against Wen Chou for more than 40 rounds, and Li Thief finally included a more capable martial artist. ”
After finishing speaking with an unhappy expression, Yuan Shao looked at Wen Chou's eyes in the battle in front of the battle, which was quite unkind, full of anger.
Because Liu Bei's seemingly amiable inquiry revealed schadenfreude, Yuan Shao's face was a little unbearable, and he felt that Liu Bei seemed to be laughing at the incompetence of his generals, which made him lose face.
At the same time, Wen Chou's appearance in front of the battle also made Yuan Shao very dissatisfied, how could the dignified Hebei General and the head of the Four Courtyard Pillars not even be able to fight against an unknown Gan Ning?
What the hell is going on, could it be that the generals under the command of Li Thief are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and they have such a strong combat power when they are pulled out at will?
Liu Bei noticed that Yuan Shao's expression was quite displeased, and immediately gently comforted: "The alliance leader doesn't have to worry. For example, General Wen Chou is really a rare brave and fierce general in the world, with great strength and superb gunmanship, and he has not fallen behind in the war so far. Therefore, in this first battle, even if General Wen Chou cannot win, he will not be defeated, and if nothing else, this battle will end in a draw. Even so, General Wen Chou's martial arts are comparable to the three brothers of my family, and he can be called a fierce general in the world, which is very rare! ”
"Huh?" Yuan Shao could still hear Liu Bei's words at first, and the anger on his face had subsided for the most part, but after hearing Liu Bei's last words, his face suddenly changed again, and he was gloomy in an instant.
At this moment, he had an illusion in his mind: "The martial arts of my Jizhou Admiral Wen Chou can only be compared with the third brother of you, a mat weaver and a shoe seller, which means that the martial arts of your Liu Bei and your second brother Guan Yu are far above Wen Chou?" Could it be that the strongest generals under my Yuan Shao's command can only be compared to reckless horsemen like your third brother Zhang Fei, how can this really be reasonable? Is this a shame that I have no generals under Yuan Shao? ”
Just when Yuan Shao was secretly angry, Cao Cao, who had never spoken before the Le Ma formation, suddenly interjected: "What Xuande said is good. In the past, Guan Yu Wenjiu became famous in the first battle, and Xuande himself also relied on a pair of double-strand swords to gallop among the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops under the command of Dong Thief, and retreated after the battle. It can be seen that Xuande and Lingdi Guan Yu are both heroes in the world, and it is very rare that Wen Chou can be compared with the three Xuande brothers. ”
"Meng De has won the award, and he is ashamed to be ashamed. Hehehe! Liu Bei smiled happily and said modestly with his hands.
"Humph!" Just as Liu Bei laughed heartily, Yuan Shao snorted lightly with a calm face, and then raised his voice to shout at Wen Chou, who was fighting in front of him: "Gan Ning is just a nobody, quickly take off the head of this thief, there must be no mistake!" ”
"Ahh As soon as Yuan Shaoyang shouted, the Jizhou generals behind him exclaimed, among which Yan Liang's voice was the loudest. And his face turned pale in an instant, he couldn't believe his ears, how could his own lord shout at Wen Chou at this time, wouldn't this be equivalent to directly asking for Wen Chou's life?
In fact, just as Yan Liang thought, Yuan Shao's angry shout had an immeasurable impact on Wen Chou, and directly buried the life of the general of Jizhou and the head of the four court pillars.
When Yuan Shao's angry and stern voice reached Wen Chou's ears, it was just when Wen Chou and Gan Ning were fighting together, and the two were evenly divided under one blow, but just as Wen Chou raised his iron spear and was about to give Gan Ning a blow to the head, he suddenly heard Yuan Shao's angry shout. Suddenly, Wen Chou raised the spear above his head for a moment, and looked back in amazement, the whole action was completed in a very short time, only two seconds before and after.
But it was precisely this short two-second stagnation that Gan Ning keenly captured the fighter and immediately put it into action. But seeing that he waved his hand and slashed at Wen Chou's right hand raised above his head, and his body quickly broke away from the horse's back when he swung the knife, jumped up, and kicked Wen Chou's chest with both feet.
At the critical moment, Wen Chou relied on his extraordinary hearing to judge from the sound of the war knife breaking through the air that Gan Ning's war knife was slashing towards his head, and he didn't have time to turn back, let alone swing his gun to block, so he could only lean on his side to try to avoid Gan Ning's killing blow.
Facts have proved that Wen Chou's judgment is very accurate. The moment he leaned back, Gan Ning's sword roared past his ears with a fierce and powerful air current, striking the shaft of the spear in his hand with unmistakable precision, and the huge force of the shock almost knocked him off his horse. Fortunately, he was a skilled horseman, his legs clamped between the belly of the horse, and his leaning upper body rotated half a circle against the horse's back, narrowly regaining his shape. However, the moment he sat down, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and a large black shadow obscured his vision, and rapidly enlarged in his eyes.
"Bang, bang!"
The two flying bodies and kicks landed on Wen Chou's chest one after another, causing Wen Chou, who had just stabilized his body, to have no time to make any precautions, and was kicked up alive without even screaming in pain. With a crisp cracking sound, he rolled weightlessly in the air, mouthful of blood blurting out, and then slammed into the ground.
However, Gan Ning, who kicked Wen Chou with both feet, did not stop there, and he had landed smoothly before Wen Chou landed. When Wen Chou's back hit the ground, Gan Ning strode his knife to kill, and the cold light of the war knife went straight to Wen Chou, who was paralyzed on the ground, and slashed over, trying to split Wen Chou's head in half.
"Bang-poof!"
In the flash of light, Wen Chou, who was seriously injured and vomited blood, reluctantly swung his spear towards the oncoming war knife, which could shake away Gan Ning's powerful slash. However, he was shocked by the huge anti-shock force on the spear, and he slid back more than ten steps against the sand and stones, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
"Suffer death!" With a loud shout that followed closely into the ears of Wen Chou, who was covered in blood, he looked up in amazement and saw a blood mist in front of him, the blood that had just been sprayed covered his eyes, and through the bright red blood mist, he suddenly saw a cold light hitting his neck.
At this moment, Wen Chou, who was already powerless to resist, used all his strength to stab the iron spear that had been holding on to his hand along the ground and straight to the direction where the cold light attacked.
