Outside Langya County, Langya originally belonged to Xuzhou, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Langya was captured by bandits, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou at the time, was unable to recapture Langya. After that, Gongsun Zan sent Liu Bei's three brothers to attack Qingzhou, and he also surrendered Langya County.
After the attack, Langya County was subordinate to Qingzhou.
Since Liu Bei took charge of Xuzhou, he was not as unambitious as Tao Qian. In order to expand his power, Liu Bei sent troops to take back several cities and counties north of Xuzhou that were affiliated with Xuzhou. On the other hand, Gongsun Zan did not seem to have any
How to fight back? It's like he gave these cities and counties to Liu Bei.
After the Battle of Hangu Pass, Liu Bei knew that his power was the weakest. In order to prevent the annexation of other princes, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to garrison the north and south of Xuzhou respectively to prevent Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce from attacking. At the same time, he also sent his advisers.
Chen Deng went to Yanzhou and asked Cao Cao for an alliance.
However, Liu Bei's worries seemed to be unnecessary. Nearly a year had passed since the Battle of Hangu Pass, and neither Gongsun Zan nor Sun Ce made any movement. It seemed that they all began to huddle in their own territory and slowly develop. Since the other party did not move, Liu Bei naturally did not
You'll be polite, and vigorously develop troops in Xuzhou. In such troubled times, only if the strength of his men is strong enough, they will not be bullied by others! Liu Bei knew this very well.
But in this case, Zhang Fei, who was sent to Langya by Liu Bei, would suffer. With Zhang Fei's temperament, he would just stay in Langya without being able to go anywhere. It would be a kind of torture, if not for Liu Bei's order.
, Zhang Fei ran back with his soldiers and horses long ago. But no matter how bold Zhang Fei was, he did not dare to disobey Liu Bei's orders. He could only vent his anger on his subordinates every day, and he did not know how many soldiers were killed.
Zhang Fei randomly found an excuse and was whipped.
Of course, Zhang Fei is reckless and impatient. How could Liu Bei not know that? Naturally, he would not trust Zhang Fei to come to Langya alone. For this reason, Liu Bei specially sent his advisers Zhuge Jin and Mi Zhu to follow Zhang Fei.
Fei's side. Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, and although Mi Zhu has joined Liu Bei not long ago, I heard that his younger sister will soon marry Liu Bei, and she can be regarded as Liu Bei's brother-in-law. For these two people, Zhang Fei has to sell more or less.
To save some face, I dare not be too rude. After arriving in Langya, Mi Zhu took over the government affairs of Langya, and Zhuge Jin was also responsible for the military affairs of Langya. As for Zhang Fei, there is no war now, so of course he is doing nothing.
No need to worry about it.
Holding the intelligence just sent in his hand, Zhuge Jin looked a little solemn and walked quickly into the prefect's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Zhuge Jin asked the soldier guarding the door of the mansion: "Where is General Zhang now?"
The soldier naturally recognized Zhuge Jin and quickly saluted Zhuge Jin. However, when he heard Zhuge Jin's question, the soldier immediately became hesitant and even showed a look of horror on his face. When he saw the soldier
Zhuge Jin's face immediately turned livid. Although the soldier did not dare to say anything, Zhuge Jin had already guessed what Zhang Fei was doing now! Zhuge Jin immediately stopped making things difficult for the soldier and snorted coldly.
Just walked towards the official residence.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Jin walked to the entrance to the front yard of the official residence, he heard bursts of painful screams coming from inside. Hearing this sound, Zhuge Jin's face became a little ugly again. Without saying a word, he was a
Striding into the yard, I saw several soldiers standing on both sides of the yard, and there were three wooden stakes placed in the middle of the yard, with three soldiers tied tightly to them, but all three soldiers were shirtless.
, with bloodstains all over his body. And Zhang Fei, who Zhuge Jin was looking for, was holding a wine jar in one hand and a long riding crop in the other. Zhang Fei was seen staring at a pair of red eyes, drinking from time to time.
He took a sip of fine wine and whipped his whip from time to time. The riding whip hit the soldier's body hard, leaving streaks of blood. Just the screams from the soldier made Zhuge Jin tremble all over.
"General Zhang!" Zhuge Jin couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly. He rushed forward and reached out to grab the riding whip from Zhang Fei's hand. He shouted loudly: "General Zhang! I'm saying this.
How many times have we passed! We can’t whip the soldiers! Why does the general break the rules again and again? The general’s whip broke the hearts of the soldiers! Who else will charge into battle for the general in the future?”
Out of nowhere, someone suddenly rushed out and snatched away his riding whip. Zhang Fei immediately stared with red eyes and was about to get angry, but when he saw it was Zhuge Jin, he swallowed his words again. Not at all.
It is said that Zhang Fei is afraid of Zhuge Jin. To be precise, Zhang Fei is afraid of Zhuge Jin's younger brother Zhuge Liang! Although Zhuge Liang usually smiles and looks harmless, every time Zhang Fei does something wrong, that fair boy
He can always make himself accept punishment, but Zhang Fei still can't get angry. Facing such a person, Zhang Fei usually doesn't dare to offend him. Now, even if he is Zhuge Liang's brother, Zhang Fei still doesn't dare to use violence. Seeing him
It was Zhuge Jin who snatched his riding whip, and Zhang Fei could only shrink his head and said: "Um, Mr. Zhuge, um, these three boys made mistakes, I just punished them slightly!"
"Hmph!" Only Zhuge Jin would believe Zhang Fei's excuse! You don't need to ask Zhuge Jin to know that these three soldiers made some trivial mistakes at most, but they happened to encounter Zhang Fei who was drunk and crazy, which was very unlucky.
The ground was beaten half to death. If Zhuge Jin hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid these three people would have died under Zhang Fei's riding whip! But no matter what, Zhang Fei was always Liu Bei's sworn brother, and Zhuge Jin didn't have to criticize him too much.
He could only snort coldly and let the soldiers on both sides release the three whipped soldiers and take them down for medical treatment. Zhuge Jin threw away the whip and said to Zhang Fei seriously: "General Zhang
! I have something important to discuss, so let’s move to another place!" In Zhuge Jin’s view, Zhang Fei has nothing but martial prowess. If it weren’t for the fact that he is Liu Bei’s sworn brother, Zhuge Jin would look down on this crude man.
person!
Zhang Fei smiled and threw the wine jar in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and said to Zhuge Jin: "Should! Should! If not, go to the meeting hall to discuss it! Come here! Prepare a bowl of hangover tea for me.
!" Zhang Fei was not careless when it came to handling business matters. After giving his instructions, he followed Zhuge Jin directly to the meeting hall not far away.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, the two of them took their seats respectively. Zhuge Jin had a long face and said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang! According to the latest intelligence, Luo Yang has sent a large army to separate the Xiqiang, Xiongnu and Jiaozhou! It seems that this
This rebellion really pissed off Luo Yang! Luo Yang even sent his main force, the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry, to destroy the Xiongnu!"
Zhang Fei smiled heartlessly and said: "Although Luo Zihui seems to be very talkative, this kid is really petty! Guys like Xiqiang and Xiongnu dare to make trouble on his head, wouldn't they be asking for death?
Way? That’s fine! Those who are not from my race will have different minds. Keeping these guys will always be a disaster. Let Luo Zihui deal with them all in one go! Hahahaha!”
Zhuge Jin was not as open-minded as Zhang Fei, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang! This matter is not that simple! Can't you see that Western Qin's massive military move at this time is not a good thing for us in Xuzhou?
information!"
Zhang Fei didn't get angry when Zhuge Jin shouted like this. He just shrugged with some confusion on his face and asked: "Mr. Zhuge, you also know that my old Zhang is not very smart. What's the problem? Just open up."
Just tell me, it’s so secretive, I can’t understand you!”
Zhuge Jin secretly despised Zhang Fei, snorted coldly, and said: "Since the battle at Hangu Pass, my lord sent generals and us to Langya to garrison, just to prevent Gongsun Zan from invading! But for such a long time, Gongsun Zan has always been
The reason for not moving is because Luo Yang's army is always watching. Now Luo Yang has sent his army to the northwest. For Gongsun Zan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he miss it? So it won't be long before Gongsun Zan will definitely send someone.
Attack Xuzhou! When the time comes, Langya, where we are stationed, will definitely be Gongsun Zan’s first target of attack!"
After listening to Zhuge Jin say all this, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, waved his hands carelessly, and said: "What did I think it was? It turns out it's just like this! Hahahaha! It's nothing! It's nothing! Gongsun Zan will come as soon as he comes.
, am I still afraid of him? Humph! Back then, this old boy lied to my elder brother to help him kill Liu Yu, attack Yuan Shao, and attack Qingzhou. He clearly promised to give Qingzhou to my elder brother! But in the end, he went back on his promise! He is here too
Good! I can just settle the accounts with him for my eldest brother!"
"General Zhang!" Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't care at all, Zhuge Jin was also anxious and said quickly: "General, how can you underestimate Gongsun Zan? Gongsun Zan has dominated the three states of You, Hebei, and Qingzhou for many years, and his power is second only to Luoyang.
My white horse Yi Cong is the most elite cavalry in the world! If Gongsun Zan invades, Xuzhou will be in danger!"
In response to Zhuge Jin's words, Zhang Fei curled his lips, stood up directly, and said to Zhuge Jin: "Mr. Zhuge! When it comes to writing and writing, I, Lao Zhang, can't compare to you if I bundle a hundred of you, but if you want to
When it comes to marching and fighting, you are not as good as me, Lao Zhang! You heard me right! Humph! It would be better if Gongsun Zan doesn't come! If he comes! I will definitely let him taste the power of my eight-foot-long snake spear!" said
Then, Zhang Fei suddenly swung his fist and hit the low table next to him, immediately smashing the low table into pieces.
Seeing that Zhang Fei had made up his mind, Zhuge Jin knew that no matter how much he tried to dissuade him, it would be of no use. He could only endure it for the time being, but secretly made up his mind to write a letter and send it to Pengcheng later.
The lord sent someone to take charge of the overall situation. If Zhang Fei alone relied on this reckless man, I'm afraid Langya wouldn't be able to stop Gongsun Zan's tiger and wolf army!
