――――――

After relieving his breath, Liu Bei raised his eyes to look at the battlefield in front of the battle, and said to Zhang Fei in a low voice: "Compared with Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, the two Xiliang generals who are fighting at this moment are the real cronies under the command of Li Thief.

Did the third brother see the general, who was of medium stature with a resolute expression in front of the prancing horse? That is, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the vanguard generals of the Western Liang Army who pacified the Southern Xiongnu last year, and the burly and sturdy generals who followed Zhang Liao were Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang of Qiaoxian County.

Zhang Liao was once one of the two generals that Lu Bu relied on the most, and was the captain of the most elite Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry Army under Lu Bu.

Three years ago, Lu Bu was trapped under Wuguan City by Li Thief, and was forced to sacrifice his two most powerful generals, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, to Li Thief, in exchange for his own chance to live. Since then, Zhang Liao has been under the command of Li Thief, and has been entrusted with important tasks by Li Thief, and has become famous and well-known to the world in recent years.

And Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang, who are behind Zhang Liao, are not high in official position and not famous at the moment, but this person must not be underestimated, because in the Runan area of Yuzhou, Xu Chu's name can be described as a household name. In March last year, he dragged nine ploughing oxen and walked a hundred steps in front of tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves, frightening the Yellow Turban thieves to flee in a hurry, and then followed Xu Chu to Xiliang and served under the command of Li Thief. To this day, the name of Jiuniu Xu Chu is still widely praised and talked about in various counties of Yuzhou.

In the eyes of the brother. Xu Chu's martial arts and combat power are still above Zhang Liao, and even not below the third brother, he can be called a rare fierce general in the world. Therefore. The third brother must remember not to fight with Xu Chu, so as not to be entangled by him and unable to get out. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei keenly realized that he might have said the wrong thing, and he really shouldn't say that Xu Chu's martial arts were not under Zhang Fei. So he paused for a moment, and deliberately emphasized: "The third brother must remember the instructions of the brother, remember not to fall in love with war, and not to entangle with Xu Chu." Maybe the third brother has also heard of it. There are also several prestigious top generals under Li Thief, among which the Flying Tiger General Huan Fei, the Flying General Li Zhi, the Tiger General Dian Wei, the Shenwei Heavenly General Ma Chao and the Shengong General Huang Zhong are the most powerful, all of whom are the top generals in the world.

Besides. There are also four generals, five tiger generals and more than a dozen Zhonglang generals under the command of Li Thief, all of whom are first-class battlefield generals, and many of them are talented. Because of this, the strength of the Xiliang Li thief is extremely strong. forced the princes of the Central Plains to unite to jointly resist the Western Liang army to capture the Central Plains. ”

I have to say. Liu Bei's explanation can be described as painstaking, the purpose is to let Zhang Fei know the importance and truly realize the strength of the Xiliang Army. It's a pity that Liu Bei would never have imagined it at this moment, it was precisely because of his detailed explanation that Zhang Fei's stubbornness and competitiveness were completely provoked, which made Zhang Fei's fighting spirit rise, and he couldn't wait to immediately have a great battle with the five most prominent generals of the Xiliang Army.

At the same time, Liu Bei's explanation also has a benefit. That consumed a lot of time, which directly saved Zhang Fei the time of waiting for the fighter. Now you can go straight to the battle. Because Zhang Liao and Xu Chu had already entered the battlefield and fought with Yan Liang, the first confrontation combined the strength of the three of them to fight Yan Liang hard, and the danger was full of dangers, and he could be beheaded by any of the three of Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and Gan Ning at any time.

――――――*********――――――

"Xingba, don't be surprised, a certain Liao is coming!"

In front of the two armies, when the pale-cheeked Gan Ning used all his strength to resist Yan Liang's another round of slashing and slashing, he was already exhausted and on the verge of running out of oil. Back to the horse, he used his bloody hands to hold the war knife, let the war horse turn around on its own, still refused to wait to be killed, still had to continue to fight, even if he died tragically under Yan Liang's knife, he would die on the way to charge, and never abandon the death of the war knife.

At this moment, Gan Ning had hatred in his heart but no regrets. He hated himself for letting his guard down when he killed Wen Chou, so that he was seriously injured; also hated that he couldn't avenge Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, so that the two of them lost their lives and died tragically in front of the battle, with their heads in different places. But he didn't regret it in his heart, but felt that he had died a well-deserved death, and his death was vigorous, and his husband should be like this in troubled times.

Once upon a time, he Gan Ning was still the leader of the water thieves entrenched in the big rivers and lakes, and he also lived in swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and he was engaged in a bookless business of licking blood on the knife edge, and fighting and killing people were like commonplace every day. At that time, he was not called Gan Ning, and preferred others to call him a Jinfan thief, because he was a thief who killed people and oversold goods. When he first became a water thief, he didn't like to be called a "thief", and hoped that others would call him Gan Ning Gan Xingba, but the Gan family was confiscated by the government, and in a blink of an eye, the huge family was completely destroyed, and the clansmen were scattered all over the country and became refugees.

Since then, Gan Ning no longer shows people by name, but swaggers through the market all day long with a conspicuous Jinfan, only in this way will others ignore his name, but remember the name of the Jinfan thief; In addition, his banner of brocade also has a purpose, that is, to hope that those who have been affected by him will come to him for help, because he has money and food in his hands, which can ensure that the separated people will not starve to death in the wilderness. It's a pity that not many clansmen have come to him from beginning to end, because he is the plague god of the Gan family, even if he flees and starves to death, no clansman is willing to have the slightest entanglement with him.

This is a secret hidden deep in Gan Ning's heart, and he has never mentioned it to anyone, even the brothers Gan Wen and Gan Wu don't know that he still has this sad past.

However, at this moment, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the two armies knew that his name was Gan Ning Gan Xingba, but few people knew that he was once the leader of the Jinfan thieves. That was enough, and he finally called back to his original name, and he did it openly and loudly, not afraid of being heard, and he didn't have to worry that his people would grit their teeth and avoid it when they heard it. Even if he was killed by Yan Liang in the next second, he had no regrets. Because he was a general under the command of the general Li Li, he personally killed Yuan Shao's confidant general Wen Chou, and then died on the battlefield in a stubborn battle. Before he died, he never wagged his tail and begged for mercy, he died like a man, without regret to the ancestors of the Gan family, and worthy of the Gan clan.

For more than 20 years, he was a sneaky and spurned thief; Now, in just over a month, he Gan Ning is a brave and fearless general, even if he died on the battlefield. It is also a well-deserved death, without regrets.

However, just when Gan Ning was determined to fight to the end and returned to fight Yan Liang again. But seeing a horse coming out from the side, the person on the horseback was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who had only a few connections with him.

"Xingba, don't be surprised, a certain Liao is coming!"

In a flash of lightning, the fatal knife that originally slashed at Gan Ning was intercepted by Zhang Liao's horizontal knife. Shengsheng rescued Gan Ning from Yan Liang's knife.

"Bell!"

With a bang. Zhang Liao shook his arm and swung Yan Liang's sword, and then swung his knife as fast as the wind to counterattack Yan Liang, causing Yan Liang to be stunned and hurriedly resist, which was worthy of Zhang Liao's fierce knife. However, this halfway sword intercepted Yan Liang's horse charge, forcing him to pull the reins of his horse and unable to launch a strong and ferocious attack with the power of the war horse's sprint. On the other hand, Zhang Liao was not, he killed halfway. saved Gan Ning with a forehand knife, and shook back Yan Liang with a backhand blow. Even if he waved his sword like rain, he used the power of the war horse to charge and beat Yan Liang back.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battle situation reversed, Yan Liang, who was originally firmly in the upper hand and had the chance to win, became the target of passive beating, while Gan Ning, who was already in danger, turned the danger into a disaster. At the same time, Zhang Liao, who was ordered to go out of the camp to save Gan Ning, suppressed Yan Liang as soon as he made a move, and quickly occupied the main attack position and seized the upper hand.

"Yan thief is rampant, Xu will give you a ride and let you walk with Wen Chou!"

The house leaks and even rains, and the blessing is not a single line.

Just as Yan Liang tried his best to fight back and try to get out of Zhang Liao's strike range, there was another loud shout from behind him, and then a strong air flow with a sharp roar hit Yan Liang's back.

Suddenly, Yan Liang was shocked into a cold sweat, his back was cold, and he immediately stabbed his backhand at the broken air flow behind him without thinking about it. Luckily, this moment Zhang Liao was in the middle of turning back and couldn't attack from the front, which allowed Yan Liang to gather all his strength and strike a backhand with all his strength.

"Ahh

In the sound of a sharp weapon strike, Yan Liang's hands holding the knife suddenly loosened, and the war knife was almost lost, but fortunately, the instinct of being a military general prompted him to clench the handle of the knife in time, because the weapon is the life of the military general when fighting. However, the moment he clenched the sword, he suddenly felt a strong and explosive force from the hilt, and then this huge force split in two, frantically surging into his arms, rushing into his chest cavity in an instant, causing his chest to shake, and then a sharp pain like a needle bayonet came from his chest and abdomen. At the same time, his arms trembled and paralyzed, his thick and powerful arms swelled and thickened like inflated, and a burst of pain instantly poured into his mind, which was immediately intertwined with the severe pain in his chest and abdomen, forcing Yan Liang to scream in pain.

Sigh!

"Click!"

In the scream of pain, Yan Liang's entire upper body was shocked by the huge force and tilted sideways, while the war horse under his crotch neighed in horror and retreated in panic. Coincidentally, the panicked retreat after the frightened war horse saved Yan Liang, making Yan Liang's body sway, and he re-clamped the horse's belly when his body swayed, thus avoiding the bad luck of falling off the horse, and narrowly saved his life.

When he stabilized the startled horse and sat down again, he finally saw that the knife just now was the unparalleled power of the nine-ring iron-backed war knife in Xu Chu's palm.

At this time, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu came to kill again one after the other, and for a moment Yan Liang no longer had time to care about the severe pain on his body, his cheeks were extremely distorted, and he gritted his teeth and swung his knife to meet them.

"Bell, bell!"

In the sound of the loud weapon slamming, Yan Liang almost didn't even have a room to catch his breath, he spun in place like a spinning top, dismantled the front and back blocks, leaned forward and leaned back to parry with all his might, and fought hard for more than a dozen rounds with one enemy and two in one breath.
