The sword flashes and the blood flows like a river.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten corpses fell to the ground.
There were more than ten transparent holes on Li Fang's body, which showed that the Wolf Cavalry soldiers hated them deeply. Even though he was already dead, some people kept stabbing him until his flesh and blood were blurred.
"Your Highness~~"
Zhang Liao quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "General Zhang Liao, I would like to pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Hongnong."
Liu Bian leaned over and helped Zhang Liao up with his own hands: "The general is loyal and loyal. I understand in my heart that it is all thanks to the general's help that I can completely escape from the prison. I should thank the general."
"Be alone..."
"How dare you!"
Zhang Liao hurriedly supported Liu Bian, shaking his head and sighing: "How can a junior general be so virtuous and capable of being able to withstand His Highness's bow? You are really trying to defeat a junior general. You must not dare to do this."
Liu Bian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and completely let go of his worries: "The situation just now was so dangerous. If the general had even the slightest evil thought, how could he survive in this world? How could he not bear this tribute to the general?"
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Zhang Liao's thick arms supported Liu Bian, making him unable to bow down: "Your Highness is a rich man, how can you condescend to worship the junior general? If it weren't for the support of the general, how could the junior general be as powerful as he is today."
"The general will always keep this kindness in his heart and never dare to forget it. Today, His Highness can be spared his life. It is also because the general has a spirit in heaven that he ordered the general to be temporarily transferred to Shenyuan Pass. This is the general's way of repaying his kindness.
"
The little mouth is so sweet.
It was actually attributed to the late General He Jin.
Liu Bian raised his lips slightly, smiled, and went straight to the topic: "The general is lucky to have such a loyal subordinate like you, but general, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back after you killed Lang Zhongling Li Fang.
.”
"It's better than this..."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bian directly offered an olive branch: "You can follow Gu to Nanyang with your troops and horses. Gu can guarantee that if you rise strongly in the future, you will definitely have a place as a general."
"this......"
Zhang Liao seemed a little embarrassed.
He glanced at the subordinates beside him and shook his head in embarrassment: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but my brothers need to eat. I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Nanyang at all with these many people."
"I think we should go back to Shenyuan Pass. The general has already thought about it. If Dong Zhuo is really blamed, the general will blame it on His Highness, claiming that His Highness's ambush was revealed, and Li Fang died on the battlefield."
On the surface, it seems like a good excuse.
But......
In Liu Bian's eyes now, it was full of loopholes. He didn't even need the help of the military advisor alliance to blurt out:
"General, you are confused. Now your subordinates are unharmed, but Xiliang Xiaoqi died for no reason."
"This is the ending..."
Liu Bian shook his head in embarrassment and exhaled: "I'm afraid Dong Zhuo won't believe it even if he is beaten to death. With your current embarrassing situation of being neither a wolf knight nor a brave knight, how can you keep this head on your neck?"
?”
"this......"
How could Zhang Liao not know such a situation?
only......
He really couldn't bear to let these brothers suffer.
After all, they were all Zhang Liao's carefully selected soldiers from Hebei. After getting along with each other for such a long time, Zhang Liao had already regarded them as his brothers of life and death.
"General!"
Liu Bian interrupted without hesitation: "I know you are afraid of causing trouble, but I can tell you clearly that the caravan leaving the customs has already gone to sell food, which is enough to ensure the rations of your battalion."
"Although I can't guarantee that they will eat well and drink spicy food, as long as I have something to eat, they will never starve. At first, you were recruiting soldiers and horses for your uncle. Now that your uncle is gone, I am willing to take on this arduous task.
responsibility."
now.
Liu Bian patted his chest and stared at Zhang Liao with burning eyes: "Gu sincerely invites me and is willing to join hands with the general to create a great cause. Could it be that the general wants to reject Gu's kindness?"
When Zhang Liao was hesitant, the soldiers around him advised him:
"General, please promise His Highness that we never want to return to Luoyang again."
"Even if you follow His Highness and eat chaffy vegetables, it's better than suffering the bird-like attitude at Dong Zhuo's place!"
"That's right, I've long had enough of Xiliang offal's arrogance, they look down on us, and we are so cowardly that we don't serve them anymore."
"Yes, I won't serve you anymore, I won't serve you anymore."
"General, please promise Your Highness."
"Promise, Your Highness."
"..."
The expected return.
Zhang Liao didn't feel comfortable refusing, so he nodded and knelt down on one knee: "The last general, Zhang Liao, voluntarily submits to His Highness. From now on, he will have nothing to fear in the face of swords, mountains and seas of fire."
Liu Bian hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up, with a smile on his face, and praised him greatly: "I can only get help from the general, so why worry about killing the rebels and rebuilding the prosperous world!"
*****
The night is hazy and the stars are twinkling.
Luoyang, outer city.
Mass graves.
A little firelight moved slowly under the night.
Tai Shi Tong held a torch in one hand and a wooden sign in the other. He poked his head around and looked around: "Master Shi, I, Tai Shi Tong, really didn't expect that you were actually helping His Highness escape by planning such a large prayer procession."
"Alas~~~"
Sighing, Tai Shitong said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that you fell into Dong Zhuo's hands in the end. I'm afraid you weren't prepared to survive from the first day, right?"
"It's good now. King Hongnong doesn't know if he can leave Luoyang safely. Anyway, you don't even have anyone to collect the corpse. If I, Tai Shitong, hadn't found out about those bastards and left you in this mess of graves, you might not even have a memorial tablet.
have."
"Thinking back to those days..."
Taishi Tong was talking to himself, and he was brave enough to look for it: "Let's sit down and discuss Taoism together. I, Taishi Tong, am very good at asking questions, but I am still no match for you, Shi Zixuan."
"..."
I don't know how long it took.
finally.
Taishi Tong found a grave with fresh soil.
"This should be right here, right?"
He pierced the torch into the soil next to him, then arranged the sacrifices neatly, took out a wooden board from his backpack, picked up a bald pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the tomb of Taoist Shi Zixuan by the weak firelight, and then blew the
Dry ink.
Taishi Tong inserted the wooden sign into the soft soil in front of the grave and arranged the sacrifices: "It is impossible to confirm that it is you by digging the grave, but I believe that if you can find this place, you must have a spirit in heaven.
, guided me there.”
"so!"
Tai Shitong was certain and affirmative: "I believe that the one buried here must be you. Rest in peace. I will come to see you every new year and festival in the future."
"If you leave like this, you won't be able to find anyone in Luoyang City with whom I can sit and talk. I offer you this pot of wine. After so many years, although you don't have a deep impression of me, I regard you as a close friend."
.”
"Come!"
Tai Shitong raised his drink and said, "Let's do it."
Gululu~~~
Tai Shitong took a big drink.
When he put down the wine pot, he saw the grave trembling slightly, the dry soil on the upper layer rustling down, and a big hand suddenly popped out of the grave!
"Fake...fake corpse..."
Tai Shitong was so frightened that he started fighting with his upper and lower teeth. He collapsed to the ground with a thud and his body was shaking like chaff. He wanted to turn over and escape, but his body was filled with lead water and he could not move an inch.
