Chapter 306 When the old friends meet, they will cut two swords first if they are brothers
In February of the sixth year of Jian'an, there was a severe cold.
An elite cavalry detoured from Jibei Kingdom and entered Pingyuan County under Lu Bu's control. They would then use Pingyuan to enter Qinghe County under Yuan Tan's control.
This cavalry has Zhang Liao as the chief general and Wei Yan as the deputy general, and both of them are famous generals with both wisdom and courage.
After being captured by Lu Yan after fighting for Lu Bu, Zhang Liao defected to Cao Cao under Lu Yan's persuasion. Cao Cao cherished Zhang Liao's talents very much and gave him many opportunities to perform meritorious service. Cao Cao even took Zhang Liao with him when he attacked Wuchao.
Every time, Zhang Liao never betrayed Cao Cao's trust, and now Zhang Liao has accumulated meritorious service and been promoted to a backbone general.
Zhang Liao has long been famous throughout the world for his repeated military exploits, but Wei Yan has only just shown his talents, so there is no problem between the two of them who is dissatisfied with the other.
However, since he set foot on the land of Pingyuan County, Zhang Liao has been silent and seems to be distracted more often.
Wei Yan, a thoughtful person, understood the reason why Zhang Liao was in such a state after a moment's thought, "Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's old general. I heard that he was captured by Lu Qiaoqi after he was killed for Lu Bu.
Now that he and Lu Bu have a chance to meet again, I really don’t know if there will be any surprises..."
Zhang Liao and Wei Yan moved forward with their own thoughts. As the introducer, Xin Pi naturally had to follow the army.
Xin Pi obviously also discovered Zhang Liao's abnormality, and he also knew the relationship between Zhang Liao and Lu Bu.
In order to maintain confidentiality, Zhang Liao's army will pass through Pingyuan County controlled by Lu Bu. There is no way, Cao Cao chose Zhang Liao as the main general, so they have to advance according to the planned route.
When the army arrives outside Pingyuan County, they will rest and replenish their supplies here, and then they will go straight to Gaotang in Qinghe County, and finally arrive in Qinghe.
It was already evening when we arrived at Pingyuan County.
The army's camp had not yet been set up. Suddenly, a group of more than a dozen cavalrymen appeared in the city and quickly arrived outside Zhang Liao's military camp.
"Zhang Wenyuan! Come out!"
"Zhang Liao! Get out!"
"Zhang Liao, come out, grandpa, I will fight you for three hundred rounds!!!"
This group of cavalry stopped outside the camp and asked Zhang Liao by name to leave the camp. Some even clamored to challenge Zhang Liao in a single fight.
"General Zhang, why don't I go and send them away?" Wei Yan listened to the shouting outside, his half-lidded eyes gleaming.
Zhang Liao held down Wei Yan who was about to leave and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I will deal with them myself."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao picked up his crescent halberd and rode out of the camp on his horse.
Wei Yan was still uneasy and followed Zhang Liao out of the camp. After all, he and others had a heavy responsibility and they couldn't let anything go wrong halfway.
When Song Xian saw Zhang Liao coming out, he immediately rushed forward with his sword in hand, "Zhang Liao! Look at the sword!"
Zhang Liao and Song Xian have been old comrades-in-arms for many years. It's hard to say how deep their relationship was at the time, but at least there was still a friendship.
Now when old friends meet, Zhang Liao still feels a little uncomfortable when the other party picks up the knife and chops him without saying a word.
Song Xian's horse is very fast and his expression is fierce.
Zhang Liao had no expression on his face. He waited until Song Xian's sword was about to fall on his shoulder, then he suddenly exerted his force and swept away Song Xian's sword with his halberd.
Song Xian's broadsword was hit at the point of impact by the halberd pole. His arm suddenly shook and the sword almost flew out of his hand.
Song Xian and Zhang Liao exchanged blows, and after suffering a hidden loss, he stood up and said, "What a good guy! I haven't seen you for several years, but your strength has increased so much?"
Before Zhang Liao could say anything, two more people rushed out from behind Song Xian.
"Zhang Wenyuan! Wei Xu (Zang Ba) came to ask for advice!"
Even though two generals came out together, and both Wei Xu and Zang Ba were known for their bravery, Zhang Liao was still happy and unafraid when facing them.
Over the years, as one of the generals who was friendly to Lu Yan, Zhang Liao also took Dali Pills and practiced Lu Yan's innate skills.
Moreover, Zhang Liao often competed with Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong and others in martial arts, and his martial prowess naturally became stronger.
Today, Zhang Liao is still capable of fighting even if he faces Lu Bu, let alone the two in front of him, Wei Xu and Zang Ba, who are only quasi-first-class masters.
Wei Xu and Zang Ba attacked from two sides, Zhang Liao calmly and calmly responded to their attacks.
The two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but an expert could tell at a glance that Wei Xu and Zang Ba had already tried their best, while Zhang Liao still had some strength left.
"Bah!" Song Xian spat on the ground and said: "Although it is unethical to do this, this guy seems to have not tried his best..."
"Old Wei and Old Zang, I'm here to help you!"
Before Song Xian finished speaking, a deep and deep voice suddenly came: "Aren't you embarrassed enough? Get out of here!"
Hearing this voice, not only Song Xian, but also Zang Ba and Wei Xutong immediately stopped and retreated. Even Zhang Liao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and slowly put away the crescent halberd.
The person who came was wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown, a Xichuan red cotton flowered robe, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and an exquisite lion belt around his waist. He was the Marquis of Wen, Lu Fengxian, who was still as majestic as before!
Zhang Liao looked carefully and saw that Lu Bu had not changed at all except for a few wrinkles on his face. Although his aura was less arrogant and domineering, he had become more restrained and solid.
Seeing Lu Bu coming, Wei Yan also led a hundred or so cavalry to come behind Zhang Liao. There was nothing he could do, Lu Bu's pressure was too terrifying.
Zhang Liao nodded slightly to Wei Yan, indicating that he shouldn't be too nervous.
Then, Zhang Liao stepped forward on his horse, cupped his fists and said, "Zhang Wenyuan, I have met Marquis Wen!"
Lu Bu stared at Zhang Liao for several breaths. Just when Wei Yan thought that Lu Bu would take action if he disagreed, Lu Bu said: "Yes, your progress has even exceeded my expectations."
"?" Wei Yan and Zhang Liao were a little confused by Lu Bu's sudden praise.
"It seems that guy Lu Yan is really good at cultivating talents." Lu Bu continued.
Upon hearing about Lu Yan's talent training, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao couldn't help but shudder, thinking: "If copying books can be considered a training method, then Lu Qiaoqi's method of training talents is indeed very terrible, even comparable to
Call it scary..."
Although the two of them were not asked by Lu Yan to copy books, they had seen Xia Houlan, Tai Shici, Lu Lingqi and others copying books to death...
Lu Bu's observation was so keen that he clearly saw Wei Yan and Zhang Liao's fleeting tremors.
Lu Bu was shocked in his heart: "When Lu Yan's training methods were mentioned, they actually showed frightened looks?! It seems that Lu Yan was very harsh on their training!"
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but look back at the generals behind him, and thought to himself: "It seems that I will have stricter requirements on them in the future."
Song Xian and others, who still didn't know that they would be in bad luck after returning, suddenly shouted: "Zhang Liao, Marquis Wen said that your martial arts have improved greatly. We brothers are not convinced, so we came here to challenge you!
"
Wei Xu also continued to say at this time: "Your progress is indeed very great. After the comparison, we are convinced!"
So that’s it?
Wei Yan felt relieved, but Zhang Liao felt dumbfounded.
If you want to learn from each other, you should tell us earlier, and we will become like enemies of life and death. What kind of trouble do you want to make?
