Chapter five hundred and fiftieth: A tiger meets a wolf before a tiger
Before Zhang He could figure out why Cao Zhi, who was so friendly two days ago, turned against him today.
"Broken!" Zhang Jia turned around to leave the front door. Just as he turned around, he saw the wooden box blocking the front door being lifted up like powder. After being smashed back to the ground, it shattered into countless pieces of wood.
After the box was cleared, a young man in white clothes with a gun appeared. He was tall and handsome, with broad shoulders and a thick back. Zhang He felt terrible. He had already identified his opponent from the man's weapons and appearance. He was Cao Zhi's.
Another prisoner, Gongsun Zan named Zhao Yun, followed Yi on a white horse.
When Zhao Yun saw the situation in the house, he shouted loudly and thrust an iron spear like a poisonous snake straight towards the door in front of Zhang He who was retreating. He did not hold back at all, as if he was determined to kill Zhang He.
Zhang Hena knew that he would be in such a dangerous situation, with a tiger at the back and a wolf at the front, and he would be attacked from the front and back. His retreat was precisely to neutralize the strength of the people coming from the rear window in the shortest possible time, so as to deal with the cold arrows attacking from the front entrance.
At this time, under the attack of the two masters, Leng Jian was gone, but the pressure on him only increased.
"Guan Yu, I always thought you were a righteous man who valued friendship and loyalty. I didn't expect that within a few days of your brother's departure, you would defect to Cao Zhi. You are so shameless." Zhang He said angrily while blocking a knife with his left hand and dodging another shot.
When Guan Yu, who was flanking Zhang He, heard this, his eyes were cold and his red face remained unchanged. He seemed to be indifferent no matter what he heard. Guan Yu was tall and thin, but the hands holding the sword seemed to have endless power.
"Ding!" Zhang He struck back with his sword. Unexpectedly, he hit the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that Guan Yu struck first. With two completely different and contradictory powers, one soft and one strong, he struck through the air with Guan Yu's amazing skill.
, was caught off guard and was shocked. The sword's strength was completely eliminated, and it became empty and swaying. It didn't use even half of the strength, but the person was full of momentum, one light and one heavy. It was difficult to adjust. As a last resort, he had to
Move sideways.
At the moment when the two men were fighting, Cao Junbing's guards had already rushed in with three or four people. Seeing that Guan Yu was frustrated and moved away, they immediately took up the vacant position and attacked Zhang He with swords, spears and swords, without giving him any chance to breathe.
Zhang He knew that he was in a desperate situation, but he was still undaunted. He suddenly turned around and swung his sword, making a seemingly ordinary sword strike. But in an instant, it became extremely fierce, and the two soldiers who supplemented him in the "ding-ding-ding-ding"
The two weapons were also struck. After all, these two were ordinary soldiers. Although their skills were not weak, they still couldn't compete with Zhang He. The two felt that the strength contained in the opponent's blade was very strange, and not only did their own strength disappear.
, and was sent a heart-rending force that forced her to fall back miserably.
Just as Guan Yu moved sideways, Zhang He repelled the blocking soldiers and still gave way to the rear window.
In an instant, Zhang He knew clearly where the only way out was. Without hesitation, Zhang He ran up to the tables on the wall like lightning, jumped up and rushed towards the rear window. But before Zhang He could reach the rear door, Guan Yu had knocked him away.
Through the window, several powerful arrows shot in from outside the window hole.
Suddenly a look of horror appeared on Zhang He's face, and he unexpectedly turned his body in the air into a temporary back somersault. The arrow he caught flew past Zhang He's chest and opened his chest.
Zhao Yun, who had stopped attacking from the front, couldn't help but shout "Okay!" when he saw Zhang He's beautiful dodge. He admired Zhang He in his heart for his well-deserved reputation. They tried their best and used all kinds of tricks, but they still couldn't hurt anyone.
Zhang He's strength is evident in his solid martial arts skills, and his ability to adapt to temporary situations is even more extraordinary.
However, Zhang He knew his own affairs. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were both formidable opponents. Zhang He would not be able to gain favor from any of them if they fought alone, not to mention that if the two of them joined forces, he would definitely die. Fortunately, the two of them still cared about their face at this time. When one of them fought with Zhang He, the other never intervened. However, just these few fights and the dodges just now made Zhang He not only break out in cold sweats, but also suffered a huge loss of physical strength. No matter which one of the two takes over, he won't be able to support it for much longer.
Guan Yu had just been dodged by Zhang He's skillful move, and he was furious. When he saw the soldiers of Cao's army who were standing aside actually helping him, he felt so embarrassed that he shouted: "Get away!", reorganized his formation, and He moved his sword and attacked again. Suddenly, shadows of swords filled the sky in the small room, attacking Zhang He overwhelmingly.
Zhang He knew at a glance that even if he defended himself as solidly as an iron wall, it would be useless. Under Guan Yu's sword power, his defense would become vulnerable. Zhang He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to risk his own injuries. , but also had to forcefully take on Guan Yu. Zhang He turned his sword at will, and the steel sword in his hand turned into a rain of swords in the sky, scattering towards Guan Yu like a stormy wave on a cracking bank.
Guan Yu looked like he was just in time, and his sword turned into numerous silver sword shadows, waiting to hit Zhang He's steel sword head-on. Unexpectedly, when the two of them were approaching, Zhang He's sword suddenly became violent, and he could only hear the sound of "ding-dong". Like a wisp, in the blink of an eye, Zhang He struck out seven swords in succession as if he was trying to compete with Guan Yu in speed. Each of the swords aimed to kill his opponent, blocking all his attacking moves, and forcing him away again.
This desperate fighting style is the most troublesome. When Zhao Yun saw Zhang He forcing Guan Yu back again, he knew that Zhang He was taking advantage of the momentum to counterattack and wanted to break through the gap through the front gate he was guarding. When Zhang He's sword kept drawing towards him, Zhao Yun ignored him. How to change, after blocking the opponent's sword power again, he put away his gun and retreated, not engaging in a trapped beast fight with the opponent. But as soon as Zhao Yun and Zhang He's sword came into contact, he understood the seven swords of Zhang He and Guan Yu. , I have used all my strength, and now I am pretending to break through him, which is just the end of my efforts.
At this moment, a group of soldiers poured in like a tide at the main entrance, charging with swords drawn. Just when Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were about to stop them, a burly man with a black head suddenly appeared from behind the two soldiers guarding the rear window. A masked man in gray clothes appeared strangely a few feet behind Zhang He. He held a sword in his left and right hands and struck directly at Zhang He's back. With the sword in his left hand on the way, the masked man shouted in a deep voice. : "Zhang He!"
At this time, Zhang He was worried about the impact of the soldiers in front of him, so he hurriedly took a few steps back. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind. Zhang He dared not hesitate, but he turned back and slashed with a sword. Zhang He raised the sword with all his strength and used it with all his strength. With the remaining strength, there was a "dang" sound, and the swords collided. Before Zhang He could see clearly who his opponent was, he felt a light touch in his hand, and the steel sword in his hand was cut off in half by the opponent's blade.
Just when Zhang He was stunned, the opponent's other sword had already been cut down.
"Bang! Ah!" Zhang He was hit by a masked man on his left shoulder with a knife. Zhang He groaned, and his legs could no longer hold on. "Boom!" He knelt down on the ground. When everyone thought that Zhang He had nothing to do, It was possible to escape, but the fact is that there was no tragedy like blood splattering and the blade entering the body.
Zhang He looked blankly at the back of the knife that hit his left shoulder, said "Uh", fell to the ground, and fainted.
The originally fierce fight could no longer continue. Guan Yu was closest to the masked man, pointing his knife horizontally, and shouted angrily: "Why did you intervene?"
The masked man put away the wide-faced fine iron sword in his right hand, lifted his mask, and showed a nonchalant smile. He glanced around the room and faced Guan Yu. Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "My lord, thank you for your help, but my lord has
It's an urgent matter and there's no room for delay. Please get ready and hit the road!"
Guan Yu was about to say something, but under the invitation gesture of the masked man, he could only say "Humph!", sheathed his weapons with Zhao Yun, turned around and left the messy room.
After the two people left, the masked man said to the soldiers: "Quickly, deal with the aftermath!"
After the masked man finished speaking, amidst the busy figures of a group of soldiers, he held up the scimitar that slashed Zhang He unconscious and quickly left the house. He meandered through several gates in the residence for officials.
Arriving outside the Chuanshe, the masked man in gray clothes walked quickly along the wall, turned a street corner, and saw several officials sitting on horseback. He knelt down and reported: "Brother, everything has been solved!"
"Mancheng (Li Dianzi), thank you for your hard work!" No surprises, right?"
It turned out that the man who had just masked and attacked Zhang He was actually Cao Zhi's lieutenant general Li Dian, so there was no doubt that the eldest brother he claimed was Cao Zhi. As expected, it was Cao Zhi who poked his head out in the darkness to ask Li Dian, and Cao Zhi was dressed in military uniform.
, hidden completely under a brown cloak. On a hot day, this cloak is still the kind with a hood, but the hat has not been put on the head at this time.
To the left of Cao Zhi was a young man in military uniform who was also sitting on a white horse. He looked at Li Dian below with an envious expression, with an expression of regret that he had missed something. This person was none other than the one who hurried back after seeing off his new aunt Cai Wenji.
Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu arrived at Baoqiu just when Cao Zhi was about to return to Jizhou. At first he thought that there would be a battle to fight as soon as he arrived in Youzhou, but he never thought that as soon as he arrived, Cao Zhi would turn back, so as to disappoint this restless young man.
.
But later, Cao Xiu immediately rekindled his hope, because he was catching up with Cao Zhi's bold change of Li Ru's plan to avoid the edge. While avoiding the edge, he also mixed in a bold counterattack plan. While everyone was frightened, it also made everyone nervous.
Little Cao Xiu was eager to try.
Young people always like bold and exciting things. When Cao Xiu heard that Cao Zhi was going to Yanmen on a trip to the Great Wall, he didn't want to miss it and begged Cao Zhi to take him with him so that he could learn more.
Cao Zhi originally didn't want his little nephew to be in danger with him, but he did not have enough manpower at present, and he was afraid that Cao Xiu would cause trouble if he stayed in the army, so after careful consideration he decided to take him with him. The risk factor of the trip to Yanmen should be high.
Not big. So he decided to take him on the road, which made Cao Xiu very happy.
But when Li Dian responded to Cao Zhi's request to help Guan Yu, Zhao Yun helped Guan Yu and made a quick decision, but he clamored for him to carry out the decision again. This time Cao Zhi did not agree. Cao Zhi thought that Cao Xiu was not stable enough and went to help Guan Yu. Zhao Yun either caused trouble or used his hands.
He didn't want to see too bloody scenes happen. After all, he had a good feeling for Xun Chen and Zhang He. It would be a pity to kill such people with one knife.
