The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

There was a battle in the south of the Tanshui River. After the battle, Xu Xian ordered all the troops to count the results of the battle. A total of more than 300 enemies were annihilated and more than 100 captured. Most of the annihilated and captured soldiers were the enemy's infantry. Because Zhang Fei didn't arrive in time, the result of the battle was not ideal. Fortunately, Zhang Fei was not "missed" this time, otherwise, according to the law, he would be executed.

Although the results of the battle were not satisfactory, Zhang Liao's camp was burnt down, and all the supplies he had left in the camp, such as rations and weapons, were completely destroyed by the fire. He is incapable of attacking Xu Xianbu again.

On the same day, Xu Xian led his troops to cross the Shu River.

It is too close to the water, and the lowly place will be very humid and not suitable for camping. Therefore, even though the infantry and cavalry soldiers have gone through fierce battles and crossed the river again, they are all tired, the sky is not early, and the snow does not stop. However, Xu Xian did not immediately order the camp to be built. Instead, he went south for seven or eight miles and was far from the water, so he chose a place and ordered all the ministries to set up camp for rest.

The next morning, Sun Ce's messenger arrived.

The messenger told Xu Xian that Sun Ce had just sent his troops across the Tan River and was heading towards Langling to rescue them.

This time to help Li Tong, of course, was not Xu Xian's personal behavior. Before departure, he had communicated with Sun Ce, and the two agreed to rescue Li Tong together. At the moment, Xu Xian asked the messenger to go back and tell Sun Ce that his trilogy would also arrive at Langling the day after tomorrow.

The messenger rushed back to Sun Ce's army and reported Xu Xian's reply.

However, the speed of Li Tong's defeat exceeded Xu Xian and Sun Ce's expectations.

Shortly after the messenger left, Xu Xian pulled out his battalion and sent his troops to the south. Before the afternoon, he received an urgent report from the direction of Langling:

Li Tong's fortress had been broken down early in the morning. Lü Bu killed, burned, looted and looted. Thousands of people attached to Li Tong suffered heavy casualties. Li Tong took more than 3,000 loyalists and escaped from the camp, because the northwest of Langling was mountainous. , then ran to the southeast, that is, was heading in the direction of Xu Xianbu.

Xu Xian asked in astonishment: "Li Wenda has been operating Langling for a long time, the barriers are strong, and there are plenty of supplies and troops. Even if it is not as strong as Lv Bu's army, he can always defend himself for a while, but how can he lose so quickly. ?"

The scout who reported the incident replied, "I heard that Zhou Zhi's clansmen and the old clan rebelled and opened the camp gate to welcome Lv Bu in. It was not yet dawn, and many soldiers and people were sleeping. The camp was defeated."

Xu Xian sighed and said, "So that's the case." Although it was Li Tong, and even more pity for the thousands of people who fell into the hands of Lv Bu, but the matter had come to this point, and more words were useless, so he immediately ordered, ordered, "Li Feng cited Headquarters will ride first, and I will lead the infantry behind to meet Li Wenda. ... Yide, if you encounter Lu Bu's pursuers, you must not fight with love, as long as you can secure Li Wenda and me to join forces."

Zhang Fei agreed.

Therefore, Zhang Fei led the cavalry of the headquarters first, and Xu Xian led the infantry of Xun Pu, He Yi and other troops to follow, riding and foot soldiers and horses, all the way to the south, and after dark, only a short rest. down, then go south.

For half a day and one night, braved the wind and snow, marched for dozens of miles and reached the north bank of Rushui.

Zhang Fei arrived first, he was stationed by the Ma River, looked at the other side from a distance, and vaguely saw a group of people walking towards this side under the snow.

It was already the end of October, it had been snowing for several days, and the temperature dropped very fast. When crossing the Shushui the day before yesterday, the Shushui had not yet been frozen, but at this time the river surface of the Rushui had already frozen, Zhang Fei called someone. He went to test the thickness of the ice and found that it was not enough to withstand the passing of the troops. He was in a hurry and couldn't find a boat. He sent two scouts to break the ice and crossed it to check whether the troops on the other side were Li Tong's troops. .

Soon, the scout came back, trembling with cold, and reported to Zhang Fei: "It's Li Wenda's department."

Zhang Fei asked, "Could there be soldiers chasing him?"

The scout replied, "I heard that Li Wenda's soldiers said that there were troops to chase, but the troops were withdrawn at about noon yesterday."

He died in the Jiang Palace on the south bank of the Yingshui River. During his lifetime, he admired the strict military discipline of Lv Bu's troupe. Lu Bu's army was indeed strict in military discipline, but it was only limited to wartime. Those who were in chaos died, etc., strictly abide by the military law. In the non-war period, the military discipline of Lu Bu's troops was not very good. Therefore, after the storming of Li Tong's camp, his soldiers burned, killed and looted, and for the same reason, On a cold day, knowing that your friends were eating and drinking spicy food in Li Tong's stockade, Lu Bu's tribe, who was ordered to pursue Li Tong's remnants, was unwilling to be frozen outside. , then withdrew and turned back.

Hearing that there were no soldiers and horses chasing after Lu Bu, Zhang Fei relaxed a little, knowing that once the river froze, it would be difficult to find a boat on the other side. , a total of three small boats were found before and after, and a few soldiers were sent to the opposite side and handed over to Li Tong. Li Tong had already reached the shore at this time. He already knew that the people on the other side were Zhang Fei's army, and they came to meet him. He felt relieved, and he also sent his soldiers to search for boats. In addition to those sent by Zhang Fei, he got a total of eight boats. . The boat was not big, but since there were no chasing troops, it was easy to float across the river. In the evening, the snow gradually stopped, and Li Tong's ministry completed the crossing of the river.

Zhang Fei and Li Tong met for the first time.

The two met and looked at each other.

Zhang Fei is four years older than Li Tong. He is elegant in literature. Although he is brave in battle, he has a Confucian style in view~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Tong is younger than Zhang Fei, and he is a newly defeated general. Let’s look at Zhang Fei again. Fei is like a Confucian general, so he didn't dare to ask for big things, and he was very respectful. However, after a few chats between the two, Li Tong realized that Zhang Feigu was a good conversant, and in terms of temperament, the two seemed to be inseparable. How many.

This is indeed the case.

Both Zhang Fei and Li Tong are good rangers. They are both in the army now. The age difference is not too big. Moreover, Lu Bu is now their common enemy. Of course, they have a lot of common language. The only drawback is that Zhang Fei's family In Zhuo County, Youzhou, Li Tong’s family is located in Jiangxia, Jingzhou. They have different dialects in the north and the south. Although they both speak Mandarin, they are both self-study and are inevitably influenced by their local dialects. It is not standard, so it is slightly difficult to communicate.

Li Tong was defeated and fled. He had fought two battles with the pursuers on the road. His face was stained, and his clothes were stained with blood. Since yesterday morning, he has only eaten a little dry food. , quite considerate, talking for a while, told the soldiers to boil water to make rice, and let the soldiers cut down trees and grass, built a wooden tent, and invited Li Tong to rest inside.

Li Tong did not enter the tent, but he said to Zhang Fei: "I was accidentally killed by a thief, but fortunately I did not give up. Although I am tired now, I can't bear to go into the tent alone to rest. General, with the tent, Tong will rest with the trilogy again."

Zhang Fei was in a hurry to meet Li Tong, and he did not bring luggage with him. Li Tong escaped from the camp, and he would not have accompanied the army with luggage. Therefore, he had to wait until he joined forces with Xu Xian before setting up a tent for Li Tong's part to warm and rest.

Zhang Fei was less gracious, but Li Tong was not. In the word "Wide", he placed more emphasis on "virtue" in governing the army, that is, kindness and righteousness. In the past two years of famine, he devoted himself to his family, and shared the blame with the scholars. Sharing the joys and sorrows with the part, and sharing food and clothing, this is his consistent style.
