Chapter 582 Who dares to shoot!

When Taishi Ci escorted the grain and grass to Zhang He's military camp, it was already noon. The delivery of grain was originally done by people below, but Taishi Ci insisted on being present to supervise Liu Xin because he had not made any achievements, so Zhang He had no choice but to Not only that, Taishi Ci had to personally take care of every detail, from weighing the grain and grass, to checking the quantity, to signing and stamping, every step was indispensable for his participation.

As a result, the speed of handing over food and fodder was naturally slowed down, and by the time everything was finished, it was already midnight.

Liu Xin spoke highly of Taishi Ci, saying that he was highly skilled in martial arts, loyal and brave, and especially good at riding and shooting. However, Zhang He now had a different view of Taishi Ci. No matter how he acted, he looked like a mother-in-law. He doesn't look like a happy person at all. It's just a delivery of some food and grass, but it can be delayed until midnight.

Criticisms come true, it's already midnight, Taishi Ci can't be allowed to take his people back overnight. Zhang He had no choice but to open up another open space behind his military camp for Taishi Ci and others to set up camp. Fortunately, drinking is prohibited in the military camp, and there aren't that many people. Due to the red tape, everyone had a hasty dinner and then went back to camp.

After tossing for a long time, everyone was a little tired. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Zhang He couldn't help but get up a little late. Taishi Ci had already delivered the food and grass, so he was light-hearted and slept very sweetly. He didn't get lazy until three o'clock in the morning. I left the camp and came to see Zhang He.[

Although Zhang He criticized Taishi Ci's performance, Taishi Ci was not under his command, so he had to hold back his displeasure and said, "General Ziyi is here to say farewell to Zhang. It's just that Zhang is on official business." , I’m sorry Zhang can’t send me off.”

Taishi Ci also returned the gift and said with a smile: "How dare I bother General Zhang to send you off? However, even though I am here just to escort grain and grass, after I return, my lord will definitely ask about Lujiang City and Liu Bang." The current situation of the young master, if the general does not go to the city in person to see it, how can he reply to the lord?"

It was noon when Taishi Ci came here yesterday. If he delivered the grain and grass according to the normal procedure, he could rush back that night. He deliberately slowed down and delayed it until midnight just so that he could go to the city to watch today and find an opportunity to shoot Liu. Bang.

Although Zhang He didn't know that Taishi Ci's actions were all because of a mysterious mission, Taishi Ci's words seemed to make sense. And since Zhang He withdrew his troops that day, except for receiving Liu Xin's order yesterday, Zhang He divided his troops to guard various fortresses. Apart from Dao, he has never been to Lujiang City, and he really does not know Liu Bang's current situation. If Liu Xin asks, he will not be able to tell him about the ugly Yin Mao.

Zhang He couldn't help but stood up and said: "That's fine, you and I will go to the foot of Lujiang City together."

At that moment, the two of them each led their elite troops and came to Lujiang City. They were still a few miles away from Lujiang City, and they saw flags fluttering under Lujiang City, and the darkness was filled with soldiers and horses. Zhang He couldn't help being surprised, and asked around: "Where is that?" What happened?"

Zhang Ren also had a look of confusion on his face, raised his hands and said: "Reporting to the general, the reconnaissance cavalry sent out has not returned, and I don't know where these troops came from. Could it be that Yuan Shu heard about our army's movement and came to attack it?"

Taishi Ci was also surprised and said: "This is not right. If Yuan Shu went out with his army, the scouts should have come back earlier to report. There must be something fishy."

While he was talking, he suddenly saw hundreds of horses galloping in front of him, but they were all scouts sent by Zhang He and others. The first person came forward and turned over and fell off his horse, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said: "General Qi, In front are the three generals’ troops surrounding Lujiang City!”

After hearing the report from the scout cavalry, Zhang He was stunned. Liu Xin gave the order to attack Yuan Shu in three groups. One of them was Zhang Fei's second army. However, there has been no news about Zhang Fei and others since the war started. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei suddenly appeared here and surrounded Lujiang City when he did not dare to attack the city. Obviously, he wanted to compete with him for the credit.

Zhang He was immediately furious and shouted: "Since we know that it is Third Brother and the others who are here, why didn't you come and report earlier!"

The scout bowed his head and said: "My subordinates saw the sign of the incoming person and went to investigate, but were detained by the Third General. I have not returned since. Please punish me, General!"

Zhang Ren advised from the side: "General, calm down. Let's hurry up and take a look. The third general is irritable, so don't cause any trouble."

Zhang He also suddenly thought of Liu Bang. He couldn't help but gallop his horse and whip, and shouted softly: "Hurry!"

It turned out that Zhang Fei attacked Liu Bei's camp at night, and then found out that Lujiang was still in Yuan Shu's hands. He couldn't help but said with great joy: "God has taught me, old Zhang, to achieve such a great success!" So Zhang Fei didn't even care about Anfeng County, and immediately sent his troops southward. Attacked the Lujiang River. When we arrived at the Lujiang City, we saw a large banner with the word Yuan on top of the city fluttering in the wind. There was not a single Han soldier outside the city. Zhang Fei laughed out loud and immediately ordered the siege of the city.

As soon as this force was deployed, they encountered the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Zhang He. Because they were all his own people and Zhang Fei had a high status, these reconnaissance cavalry were required by rules to come forward to pay homage and report what they discovered to Zhang Fei. Fei's reference. Only now did Zhang Fei know the reason for Zhang He's retreat. Zhang Fei had never followed the rules, and in his opinion, it was God's will that he could catch up with the siege of Lujiang City, so he immediately ordered all the scouts to be detained. It wasn't until he completely surrounded Lujiang City that he let the scouts go back to report to Zhang He.

Zhang He and others could not go far when they saw Zhang Fei coming over with a smile and said loudly: "Fourth, you are late, please stay aside and watch me attack the city!"

The several legions under Liu Xin usually compete with each other, but this time he mobilized three legions at once to attack Yuan Shu. Capturing Lujiang and capturing Yuan Shu alive is not only a matter of meritorious service, but also a matter of concern to everyone. The honor of the Grand Army, given this opportunity, Zhang Fei would not let it go. Not only did he not let go of this opportunity, he also specially transferred his Chinese army from the north gate of Lujiang to the south gate so that he could show off to Zhang He. Show off, and secondly, it can block Zhang He's advance route so that he can monopolize this power. This once again shows that Zhang Fei is rough on the outside, but has a delicate side on the inside.

Because one of the orders Liu Xin conveyed to Zhang He was that he must try to save Liu Bang's life, so Zhang He couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Zhang Fei surrounding Lujiang City first and preparing for a massive attack. Zhang Fei, who had no other thoughts at that time, came to grab the credit and said hurriedly: "Third brother, you don't know yet, but Liu Bang, the Marquis of Juchao, is being detained in the city by Yuan Shu." [

"Liu Bang, Marquis of Juchao?" Zhang Fei had just heard this news from the scouts, and couldn't help laughing loudly, "That is the adopted son of the eldest brother. Since he has been adopted, let's go with Po It’s the same as the water that comes out, so it doesn’t matter what he does!”

Of course Zhang Fei knew that what he said was a bit far-fetched, but he wanted to seize the first victory in capturing Lujiang City, so naturally he was unwilling to resort to rat weapons. He said this at this time just to find an excuse for the casualties that might be caused to Liu Bang. .

Zhang He was just about to give some advice when he heard Tai Shici say: "Let me tell you two generals that my lord already knows about Liu Bang. The last general also wants to go to find out what happened. How about we let the last general go to the city first to have a look?"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "Well, you are a young boy, but you still want to compete with me, Zhang, for credit! You can go see it if you want, but you can only watch it from a distance of two arrows away!"

This fierce Zhang Fei is indeed rough and fine. Lujiang City is now surrounded by his second army. Even if Zhang He, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici all come to Lujiang City, they can only rely on their own first army to attack the city. Second Army Corps. But Zhang Fei once heard Liu Xin say that Taishi Ci had miraculous shooting skills. Therefore, Zhang Fei kept a careful eye and did not let Taishi Ci get within two arrows of the city, lest Taishi Ci take the opportunity to kill him. Yuan Shu, robbed himself of the credit. Why was it two arrows instead of one? It was because the strong bows equipped by the Han army had a longer range.

Faced with Zhang Fei's contempt for himself, Taishi Ci did not feel dissatisfied. He raised his hands and said: "I will obey the general's orders! Scoop!"

As expected by Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci held a bow in one hand and whipped a whip in the other and galloped towards the foot of Lujiang City. In fact, Taishi Ci was very happy at the moment. He was not a brave man, otherwise Jushou would not have entrusted him with such a major event. He, Taishi Ci, had already heard from Zhang Fei's words just now that Zhang Fei didn't seem to be interested in Liu Bang. Now he could act according to the situation and use Zhang Fei's help to get rid of Liu Bang and keep himself out of the matter.

Zhang Fei was a little anxious when he saw this. He reined in the reins and ran towards the city. Zhang He and others also rode their horses to catch up. So the whole group came to the foot of Lujiang City and stationed their horses two arrows away to watch towards the city head.

There were already crowds of people on top of Lujiang City. Bows were strung, swords were unsheathed, and cold light was shining on the Han army formation below the city. Yuan Shu held his hands on the battlements and shouted towards the city: "Zhang He, you have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. Do you dare to come to this city? Don't Liu Xin want his son's life? I have the jade seal in my hand, which is sent by Tianwang. If you know the truth, please retreat quickly and ask Liu Xin to come and surrender as soon as possible. I can protect him. Prosperity and wealth.”

Zhang He and others all looked at each other. This Yuan Shu was too arrogant. He had already arrived at the city. He could still be so confident. It seemed that the Imperial Seal had turned him into a complete lunatic.

Taishi Ci was already furious and said: "Yuan Shu, don't be so arrogant, I will wait for someone to shoot you!"

Zhang Fei shouted behind him: "Taishici, you are not allowed to enter within the two arrows!"

Tai Shici drew out an arrow and said, "Please don't worry, General Zhang. I will shoot him right here to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

At this time, the tens of thousands of troops above and below the city were buzzing with cries, and what they said could be heard clearly. Yuan Shu looked at such a long distance and did not believe that the man really had such a magical skill and could shoot him. However, Beware of a big mistake, Yuan Shu pulled Liu Bang beside him and blocked him in front of his chest, saying loudly: "Haha, haha, Liu Xin's son is here, I want to see which of you dares to shoot!"
