Three Kingdoms

Zhang Fei naturally had no way of knowing what Zhang Ze and Xu Huang were thinking when they were far away in Hanzhong. He just knew that he was severely humiliated by the Zhengxi troops and even had a brush with death.

After walking around on the verge of death, Zhang Fei suddenly realized that his current opponents were not ordinary Yellow Turban thieves, nor Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu's side troops, but General Zhengxi, who had rich combat experience and many scheming tactics. There are fierce soldiers under him.

Although Zhang Fei speculated that those who were planning to assassinate him that day were probably Zhengxi soldiers who sneaked in, but even so, Zhang Fei looked at the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers with a somewhat strange look.

Can these Jingzhou soldiers be trusted?

Are there still some assassins among them?

When a person is suspicious, everything he looks at often feels like he is being sneaky. Zhang Fei was not immune to this. Even though he knew in his heart that most of these Jingzhou soldiers would almost never have a second assassin, he still couldn't let go of the knot in his heart. These days, when seeing Jingzhou soldiers, they always look around and try to figure it out. Many Jingzhou soldiers, including Liu Qi, feel that Zhang Fei seems a little weird, and they inevitably attract some rumors...

But suspicion is just weird. Now in Anhan, Jingzhou soldiers are Liu Guanzhang's other leg. How can they do anything easily?

Zhang Fei has not been idle these days. He wants to lead his troops out of the city, not to fight Zhengxi, but to clear out the "bandits" around Anhan.

Now in Anhan, due to the gathering of soldiers, the city and outside the city are gradually showing some signs of corruption. Think about the place where the jujube alliance was, after the allied forces retreated, the original name of the jujube completely disappeared. In the territory of the Han Dynasty, there was no other reason than the gathering of a large number of people, which completely destroyed the local small farmer economy...

An Han now gradually had some signs.

You may not have a few friends in your life, but how can you not have a few enemies, or those people you have long disliked and never found a chance to deal with?

Although there seems to be no change around Anhan, many people around Anhan have started sneaking around under various banners. Maybe they are the original rogues in the city, or maybe they smell fishy surroundings. A knight-errant thief, or...

In short, people from all walks of life, under the banner of this and that, plundered the mountain strongholds around Anhan, including human beings and, of course, some Han people. Anyway, at this chaotic time, the sinister side of people's hearts was exposed. I thought I'd take advantage of the chaos and make a fortune.

Such a trick could not last long. These guys pretending to be gods from all walks of life did not seek the same interests. As the chaos continued, some of the first people who took the lead tacitly stopped and huddled in their homes. Inside the camp, a pitiful signal for help was sent to Anhan, as if they were the biggest victims.

So, when Zhang Fei led his soldiers to sweep away the people around Anhan and eliminate these guys who caused chaos, in fact, those who were eliminated were basically thieves and gangsters who couldn't stand up to the stage, and those who were dizzy after seeing the sweetness. rogues, and for those "miserable" victims, they not only eliminated their opponents and enemies, but also wiped out surrounding bandits, and they paid for it with money and food contributed by their enemies...

Everyone is happy.

Except for those who suffered military disasters for no apparent reason.

Once the killing spreads, it is difficult to stop. It is like a tide that covers the past, wave after wave. Under such a surge, even some sense will be crushed without a trace.

At the south gate of Anhan, Zhang Fei held his sword and led the team of soldiers into the streets of Anhan.

On this day, based on the intelligence from the surrounding heroes, a place where "bandits" gathered was cleared, and more than thirty thieves were killed. Naturally, the blood-stained heads were brought back as a warning to others.

A pair of eyes were staring at Zhang Fei quietly from a two-story building by the road.

"Is this the guy?"

Half of his head with a timid expression was exposed at the window edge. He quickly glanced at Zhang Fei, who was commanding the soldiers to hang the "bandit" head at the city gate, and quickly retracted, "...Yes, yes This flag...it's him, with a black face and a big beard, it's unmistakable, it should be unmistakable..."

"...Okay, go get your bows, arrows, swords and guns ready..."

"Young Master, Young Master...this, this..."

"Break a certain family, kill a certain clan member, if you don't avenge this, you will be ashamed to be a human son!" Uncontrollable anger appeared in the young boy's eyes, and he stared at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable at the city gate. He turned around and looked around, but saw nothing. Only the looks of fear or avoidance from pedestrians on both sides of the street.

what happened?

Based on the situation of the past two days, Zhang Fei also felt a little guilty in his heart.

But just when Zhang Fei hadn't figured out what to do and was about to take people to the Anhan government office, suddenly there was a chaos in the street. What seemed to be a frightened mule and horse, dragging a firewood cart, headed towards Rushing towards Zhang Fei and others!

Several Anhan people were injured by the carriage and seemed to have fractures. They screamed and couldn't get up for a while, while more Anhan people evaded in a panic and headed towards Zhang Fei and others. Come.

Behind the carriage, there seemed to be more than a dozen people armed with spears and knives, shouting and moving forward crazily. When they met the people blocking the front, they slashed forward with knives and spears without caring!

Blood flew out, and men's screams, women's screams, and children's cries merged into one. Some people tried to huddle up to avoid the swords and guns, but were immediately trampled under their feet, and they could only cry out. For a moment, the scene was The chaos was overwhelming.

"The thieves are so brave!" Zhang Fei shouted and ordered, "Come forward and kill them!"

When some of Zhang Fei's men began to intercept the mules and horses that were coming, and more than a dozen knife-wielding men rushed behind them, suddenly about ten people rushed out of the store on one side of the street. Howling and killing Zhang Fei, on the second floor of this store, in the window, a long bow was also stretched out. Two or three people were bending their bows and aiming arrows at Zhang Fei. Among them was just now The young man who spied on Zhang Fei.

Corpses and blood stretched on the street. Zhang Fei was not afraid of the sudden attack. Chang Shan grabbed it in his hands immediately and swept away, directly swinging away the two or three people who rushed over first, and then there was a crash Shaking out the long spear, it was just two very short thrusts, and the other two thieves rushed to kill Zhang Fei. Their heads were like tofu puddings that had been poured with chili oil and were white. Brains and bright red blood shot out, splattering on the faces and bodies of the people behind them.

"Evil thief! Die!" The young man above the window roared and shot a long arrow.

Zhang Fei swung his long spear out of the way like a windmill, then jumped diagonally and let go of the three or four arrows coming towards him. Zhang Fei frowned, and an unknown fire rose in his heart. Damn it, why did I, Old Zhang, encounter such a mess again!

"Bring this thief to see someone!"

Zhang Fei, who was aroused with anger, waved his long spear, and in the blink of an eye, all the people who rushed out of the store were assassinated on the spot. Several of Zhang Fei's guards rushed into the store with blood on their faces, and the sound of fighting moved quickly from downstairs. Arrived upstairs.

The young man threw down his long bow, drew out a short blade, and stared at Zhang Fei fiercely: "God's way is clear, there will always be a time! The evil thief is waiting for you under the underworld!" After saying this, he stabbed himself in the chest with a knife. It reached the handle, then fell from the window and fell onto the street.

"Ah...he is also a bloody man..." Upon seeing this, Zhang Fei lost some of his anger, dragging his long hair and rushed to the young man, tilted his head slightly to look at the young man's face, and recognized, "Are you Who? Why did you assassinate Yu?"

The young man coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared at Zhang Fei, but he was already breathing less in and out more. After a while, the anger in his eyes dimmed and turned into the color of a dead fish.

┗｀o′┛嗷

Zhang Fei couldn't get the answer, so he couldn't help but yelled up to the sky in depression. The sound was like thunder, shaking across the streets of Anhan...

…………………………

In the Anhan County Yamen, Liu Qi and Mengda sat at the front and left, and then Liu Bei sat on one side, Kuai Qi and Yi Ji sat at the end, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat behind Liu Bei, and the original ones sat opposite. Some officials from Sichuan and Shu, including Wu Ban, were also mixed in. No one spoke for a while in the lobby, and the atmosphere was extremely dull and awkward.

Liu Qi was very angry. He had to decide whether to fight, right? In Anhan City, Zhang Fei was assassinated on the street. Liu Qi felt like he had been slapped in the face, so naturally he found Meng Da angrily. , I want an explanation.

Meng Da coughed twice, and then said: "This... the person who assassinated General Zhang has been identified... is the son of Lei Shi in Leijiazhai, northwest of Anhan..."

"Now that we have found out, why can't we see the culprit being captured?" Liu Qi said dissatisfied.

Meng Da smiled bitterly, glanced at Liu Bei, and then said: "This is so that General Liu can know that this Lei Family Village... was destroyed a few days ago, and all the money, food and property in the village were swept away. ...Most of the young and old in this village are dead, so...this Lei family, haha, how to capture this..."

"Huh?" Liu Qi was not a fool. After thinking about it for a while, he turned to look at Zhang Fei with some hesitation, and then looked at Liu Bei.

"Huh?!" Zhang Fei's cheeks bulged and he was about to jump up. Suddenly his shoulders sank. He turned around and saw Guan Yu's eyes like a knife throwing at him. He gasped twice and said again. He sat back down again, holding his mouth in silence.

Liu Bei quickly raised his hands and said: "Two generals clearly know that the second and third brothers of a certain family ambushed the Western Conquest troops in Wulijian Mountain a few days ago. How can they have anything to do with this... Leijiazhai?" "

Liu Qi also said: "That's exactly it!"

Meng Da still smiled bitterly and said: "That's why this matter is quite strange..."

"What's so weird about this!" Zhang Fei couldn't hold it back any longer, straightened his body and said loudly, "A certain person who bravely killed the enemy in front of the battle array still has to suffer such a dirty humiliation!"

As soon as Zhang Fei finished speaking, a small voice emerged from the Sichuan and Shu officials on the opposite side: "Kill the enemy bravely? Oh, haha, losing soldiers is called Fen, and losing generals is called brave, isn't it?"

Zhang Fei couldn't bear such cynicism. He immediately jumped up and was about to rush to the opposite side to pull it out, but Guan Yu held him back.

Liu Bei turned around and said, "Second brother and third brother, you go out first."

"Brother!"

"Get out first!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Zhang Fei came out angrily, while Guan Yu squinted his eyes slightly, looked around, then bowed his hands to Liu Qi and Meng Da who were standing above him, said goodbye, and then went out.

Liu Bei bowed his hands to Liu Qi Mengda. He first apologized for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then turned slightly to the side of the Sichuan and Shu officials and said: "In military affairs, there is no final conclusion about victory or defeat? To take a step back, even if a certain second brother The third brother accidentally made a bad move at Wuli Stream, but he ran around and intercepted and killed the soldiers and horses of the Western Expedition at the foot of Nanchong City. Can't we call it a failure?"

The officials on the Sichuan and Shu side remained silent and did not respond further.

Liu Bei didn't mean to wait for these people to reply. He turned to face Meng Da and Liu Qi and continued: "Now that the Jingxiang, Sichuan, and Shu alliance is jointly fighting the Western Conquest, we should go hand in hand and work together internally and externally. How can we be at odds with each other and only increase the number of soldiers?" The laughingstock? It is not a lie to say that the soldiers in the Western Expedition are strong. If we are not united, how can we resist it? Outside Anhan City, the Lei family's village has absolutely nothing to do with a certain third brother! Although a certain brother and a certain brother are only fluent in writing, they are also How can you do such an unjust act if you know benevolence and righteousness? I hope you will investigate this matter thoroughly and prevent the dead from being wronged and the living from being humiliated!"

Liu Qi slapped his hand on the table, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! A certain Jingzhou soldier came here. My father wanted to know Liu Yizhou for many years, and they were friendly and couldn't bear to sit idly by, so he helped each other! If you don't want to come here, you won't get it in vain. The wrongdoer! Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"

Meng Da said repeatedly: "Young Master, calm down, calm down. I also feel that this matter is fishy, ​​and I have sent people to investigate. I will definitely clear the world..."

Obviously, it was impossible to know the truth of this matter for a while, so in a slightly embarrassing situation, Liu Qi left with Liu Bei and others.

After seeing off Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others, Meng Da walked slowly and returned to the hall with a frown. He sent a group of Sichuan and Shu officials to do their work before turning to the study.

As for Wu Ban, he was already waiting in the study room early.

After sending the servants out, the two looked at each other. Meng Da gently knocked on the table and whispered: "This Leijiazhai..."

"I didn't do it." Wu Ban shook his head immediately, and then looked at Meng Da.

Meng Da raised his eyebrows, "Neither did I. This Leijiazhai is usually well-behaved, and it is also a side branch of Nanchong Lei. How could someone ignore the good and the bad and attack indiscriminately?"

Wu Ban was silent for a moment and nodded. "Although Zhang Yide was not seen when we arrived at Wuli Jian... But looking at Liu Xuande, it's not like..."

Meng Da nodded, then a bright light in his mind jumped, and he said with a strange expression: "Someone... heard... Liu Shaojun and Liu Xuande, um, that..."

Wu Ban opened his eyes and glanced at Meng Da in disbelief, then hesitated and shook his head, "Wouldn't this mean that he had cut off his limbs? It shouldn't be like this..."

"Yes..." Meng Da nodded, and immediately the two of them fell into silence, with the same thought swirling in their minds. Who did this?
