Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1073 What can be obtained from revenge

   "What?" Li Jue yelled at the table, "There are thirty cavalry outside the city calling for formation? Where are the troops? And why did they come?"

   Li Jue's subordinates replied: "Yes, General, it doesn't look like the Guanzhong Forbidden Army, it should be from Longxi... The leader said... said... that he wanted to avenge Ma, General Ma..."

"General Ma? That General Ma?" Li Jue raised his eyebrows, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Oh...hahahaha, is it the Ma family's brat who came to take revenge? Hahahaha, okay, I still have some guts, let's go, Go and see..."

On the city wall, Li Jue saw more than 30 riders standing in a stone's throw away from the city. When he saw Li Jue's head exposed, he immediately roared at the top of his voice. His voice was stiff, and it was indeed Longxi's accent. .

   "Li thief! Come down and die!" Ma Chao saw Li Jue's figure, couldn't help but hit his head with blood, and shouted while waving his spear.

Speaking of it, the current vocabulary and polysemous words of Dahan are not as strange and colorful as those of later generations. Lizi and thief are already considered serious words. , it is already an insult to the extreme that it will make people blush and feel ashamed

  Li Jue stood on the city wall, patted the battlements and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you are really a cub of the Ma family! What's the matter, do you want to go to Huangquan with your stupid father?"

Ma Chao angrily bent his bow and shot an arrow at Li Jue, but this angry arrow only shot down the city wall below Li Jue, and Li Jue's oily skin was not even stained. Jue burst into laughter.

   Ma Chao became more anxious and angry, and even seemed to vent his anger on the longbow. He threw the bow under his feet and let the horses trample on him, but brandished the spear and roared at the top of his lungs...

   Li Jue smiled and looked around.

  Laughter can be a good medicine.

  The boredom and worries that had accumulated in Li Jue's heart for the past few days suddenly seemed to be a lot easier before he knew it. Looking at Ma Chao's troops under the city, Li Jue suddenly felt a little moved.

   He brought thirty riders, all of whom had the guts to come to revenge and challenge. Although such revenge and challenge were so ridiculous in Li Jue's eyes, they gave Li Jue a new motivation.

   Now Li Jue's soldiers are his confidantes. However, under Li Jue's successive battles during this period of time in Guanzhong, these confidant soldiers became fewer and fewer.

  Seeing Ma Chao yelling outside the city this day, Li Jue was amused, and finally sobered up from the decadence of the past few days, and suddenly realized why he was so troubled here?

  Although Li Jue didn't know the words to take a step back, it didn't prevent Li Jue from realizing that he still had a way out. As long as he returned to Xiliang and accumulated strength again, there might not be a day when he would fight back!

  Wanting to understand, Li Jue felt a little relieved, so he didn't take Ma Chao's clamor too seriously, and waved his hand and said, "Let them go! I'm in a good mood today, so I don't care about this brat!"

  However, Ma Chao was willing to retreat like this, and he continued to yell and scold endlessly in the city.

Li Jue was thinking about what to say to his confidants now, and where to go next, but was distracted by Ma Chao's words of old thief on the left and old ghost on the right, so he couldn't help feeling angry and shouted: " Damn you bastard! Since you are begging to die, I will send you to reunite with your dead mother!" After saying that, he mobilized three hundred cavalrymen, put down the drawbridge, and rushed out of the city, ready to kill Ma Chao in one fell swoop. .

   Seeing that Li Jue had finally moved, Ma Chao let out a long breath slowly.

For Ma Chao, storming the county seat was obviously a dead end. Only by letting Li Jue leave the city would he have a slight chance of defeating and killing him. But before that, Ma Chao had no idea whether Li Jue would accept his challenge or leave the city. But at the moment, Ma Chao's gamble is basically a win...

  Seeing Li Jue coming out, Ma Chao went forward with thirty cavalry, fighting and walking, and unknowingly deviated from the city of Chiyang.

Li Jue thought that as long as he went out, he would be able to take down Ma Chao in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to be so slick, and failed to encircle him several times, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious in his heart. Chase and fight hard.

  If you can't even deal with the first yellow-haired brat, what's the point of making a comeback?

   Just when Li Jue was very angry and angry, a whistle sounded suddenly, and more than two hundred riders rushed out of the woods on the side, screaming loudly and killing the generals!

not good!

   Got it!

  Li Jue woke up suddenly at this time, thinking about turning around and going back to the city, but before he had time, he was hit sideways by more than two hundred riders who rushed out, and the formation suddenly became disorganized.

   "Where is the old thief!" Seeing such a good opportunity, Ma Chao's eyes were red, and the muscles on his face looked a little hideous for a moment.

At first, Li Jue didn't care about it, and his mind was still on the big man holding a long knife rushing from the side. He casually used his spear to sweep away the spear stabbed by Ma Chao, but he didn't expect that in a flash, Ma Chao's spear seemed to be made of iron, it didn't move at all!

   Li Jue's heart sank suddenly, and when he tried to escape again, it was already too late.

   Ma Chao, who had planned for a long time, swung Li Jue's spear away with a fierce blow, and stabbed at one of the gates with one shot!

Li Jue tried his best to turn around and avoid the shot in the chest. However, Ma Chao's shot may have contained all the power of revenge. Li Jue did not have time to completely dodge, and was shot by Ma Chao on the armor on his chest. Suddenly, the armor split, flesh and blood flew across, and a large piece of bright red blood spewed out with a puff.

   Li Jue let out a loud cry, and couldn't hold the spear anymore. He fell on the horse's back, staggered and fled to the side.

   Ma Chao yelled, relying on the long legs of the Xiliang horse and its explosive power, he urged the horse to catch up. He shot down the soldiers who came to rescue Li Jue with a few shots, and then stabbed Li Jue in the back shoulder with one shot!

   Ma Chao roared, with both arms piercing his arms, he actually lifted Li Jue, who had been pierced through his shoulders, from the horse's back, and lifted him into the air like this!

  Li Jue spurted blood, tried to look up at the sky, and then suddenly lowered his head...

   "Father!" Ma Chao raised Li Jue and howled, like a scarred lone wolf, "I have revenge for you! I have revenge!"

  ………………

   "What do you want to do?" After a long silence, Zhao Yun said to Bai Que indifferently, "Revenge? Who do you want to avenge? Those people who were killed by you back then should come to you for revenge?"

  Baique froze for a moment, then brandished his saber and roared, "I don't care! I deserve to be killed by me!"

  Zhao Yun lowered his eyelids, ignored the white bird's unreasonable troubles, and said directly: "Where is the commander-in-chief?"

Not to mention that Zhang Yan is fine, but when Zhang Yan is mentioned, it is like adding fuel to the fire, and the white sparrow immediately shouted: "You still have the face to ask! You ungrateful guy! If the commander-in-chief hadn't taken you in back then, you would have I don’t know how many times I’ve died! Now I’m still killing the Grand Commander…”

  Zhao Yun didn't say anything to refute it, nor did he look annoyed, he just stared at the white bird expressionlessly.

  The white sparrow was still yelling and screaming, but under Zhao Yun's gaze, his words gradually faltered, and after a while, he lowered his sword and stopped talking.

When Zhang Yan decided to attack Yinshan, Zhao Yun was not there at all, let alone the word murder. If there is only a slight possibility, it is to tell Zhengxi General Fei Qian that Zhang Yan might come However, if Zhang Yan hadn't attacked, or hadn't even hurried on his way, walking the mountain trail at Huguan, he wouldn't have fallen into an ambush.

So in fact, Bai Que also knows in his heart that Zhao Yun has nothing to do with the situation where the commander-in-chief is today. It is just a subconscious transfer of responsibility to say that the commander-in-chief was harmed by Zhao Yun. Not having to bear the heavy responsibility for the casualties of the commander-in-chief Zhang Yan, it will be somewhat easier psychologically.

  However, Zhao Yun's silence made Bai Que a little bit speechless...

  In the current situation, I wanted to talk about it for a while, and then really angered Zhao Yun. Don't talk about raising troops to attack, just blocking the entrance of the valley and setting fire, people like myself will die.

   "...What exactly do you want?" After a while, Baique couldn't hold back and asked.

   "Let me see the commander-in-chief." Zhao Yun's tone was still as calm as water, as if Bai Que's previous abuse had never happened at all.

   "You, you, you!" Bai Que was angry, and then stomped his feet angrily, "If you really want to see the commander-in-chief, come in alone!"

  Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, then said: "Good!"

   After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to wait outside, and then he was about to ride into the valley alone.

Zhao Yun's personal guard hurriedly dissuaded him, but was stopped by Zhao Yun's light sentence: "... in front of the road to life, most people will struggle to survive... the brothers in Black Mountain, those who can't think about it, have already died... After so many years Struggling to survive, do you want to die today? Keep the Taniguchi well, and someone will come when he goes."

  Zhao Yun usually doesn't speak much, but what he says must be targeted.

  At this moment, that is the case.

  Zhao Yun expected that the surviving Black Mountain Army no longer had the courage to resist, and the clamor on the surface was just a manifestation of inner fear...

   Sure enough, when Zhao Yun walked to the valley entrance alone, the guys who had been screaming louder than the other all fell silent, and then looked at the white sparrow in bewilderment.

  Bai Que wanted to lift the saber several times, but the hand holding the handle loosened and tightened, and then loosened, but he still couldn't lift it up. Finally, he sighed, turned around and left without saying a word.

   Seeing this, the rest of the people hurriedly removed the fence that was better than nothing for Zhao Yun, and let Zhao Yun in.

Zhao Yun entered the valley, then got off his horse, thrust the spear into the ground, tied the reins of the horse directly to the spear, untied a bag from the horse's back, and threw it to a black mountain soldier beside him, then turned to the surrounding area Some of the remaining Black Mountain soldiers shrank and said: "...Here, let's share some food first...Don't worry, this time I'm here to find a way for everyone...No matter what, it's better than anything else..."

  Curly hair was on the side, subconsciously caught the sack of dry food, and then stared blankly at Zhao Yun's gradually receding figure. Before he could figure out what was going on, several black shadows rushed towards him.

   "...let me see, what's there to eat..."

   "...I said you are a bitch, don't grab it..."

   "...fragrant, really fragrant..."

The few soldiers who shouted at Zhao Yun for revenge and shouted to kill them, almost fought around a bag of dry food, and swallowed it desperately when they grabbed a piece of dry food, fearing that they would eat less than others a star and a half...

"... Floating clouds..." Maybe it was after noon, the temperature was a bit lower, or maybe it was some other reason, which gave Zhang Yan some energy, and forced himself to half lie down and half sit. When he saw Zhao Yun, he didn't feel any pain. Nonsense, straight to the point and said in a hoarse voice, "...Let's talk, how will General Zhengxi deal with me..."

   "Commander..." Zhao Yun arched his hands, and then explained Fei Qian's arrangements for the Black Mountain Army, including the arrangements for the commander of the Black Mountain Army. Of course, Zhao Yun did not say that he took the risk to ask Fei Qian for the treatment of these leaders of the Black Mountain Army.

  After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Yan half-closed his eyes, remained silent, and said nothing. If his chest was not still heaving, most people would probably think that he was already dead. After a while, Zhang Yancai said: "...Why didn't Zhengxi mention XX...but he thought XX was dead?"

  Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

  Zhang Yan let out a ha, then snorted again...

"Great Commander..." Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "...Yun still remembers that he was originally in Changshan, and he was considered a small rich family. However, there was a severe drought in the north that year, and Zhuanghe had no harvest. , Dingxiang, Changshan, and Yanmen counties and counties have fallen countless, and tens of millions of people have no choice but to flee to their deaths to avoid the flames of war..."

As he spoke, Zhao Yun took out a small grass ring from his bosom, was silent for a while, then slowly placed the withered grass ring in front of Zhang Yan, and continued, "...the way to escape is utterly tragic... Yun's parents and younger sister are on the way...Yun Wuneng can only watch his blood relatives die...Unexpectedly, he doesn't even have a mat...Yun, the only thing he can do is to dig a piece of soil pit, and use this grass ring..."

   Speaking of this, even Zhao Yun, who is as stable as water, has a choked voice.

Zhao Yun took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and then said: "...Yun also remembered that when he first came to Montenegro, he heard that the commander-in-chief once said that he does not ask for high-ranking officials, he does not ask for gold and silk, but only asks for a job in this difficult world. , looking for a farming paradise, looking for a peaceful and healthy place..."

  Zhang Yan's chest rose and fell, and he stared at Zhao Yun for a long time and said: "...then...then now you have found a happy land for farming and calmed Ankang?"

Zhao Yun met Zhang Yan's gaze and said, "Yun, I don't know whether it is or not... However, Yun has seen Baibo's hearty smile when he was harvesting in Pingyang in the past, and he has also seen Bingbei's soldiers planting the banner of the Han Dynasty on the ground. On the top of the Yin Mountain... Grand Commander, this time, maybe you are wrong..."

   "Huh? Cough cough..." Zhang Yan wanted to get angry, but the pain all over his body couldn't support his agitated emotions. He coughed again and again, and it was difficult to breathe for a while.

Zhang Yan pushed away the water that the white sparrow handed over, stared at Zhao Yun, and roared in a low voice: "Ahem, in this world... in this world... there is no good official! They are all corrupt and perverting the law, and careless about human life! Don't look at the current situation...cough Cough... What if, what if he changes? He becomes no different from other corrupt officials! What do you say? What are you going to do?"

  Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, and said, "Yun... I don't know..."

"Haha, I know, I know!" Zhang Yan didn't know where the strength came from, but regardless of the pain in his body, he stood up unsteadily, grabbed Zhao Yun, and said, "Promise...promise a certain thing! So-and-so gave this head to you!"

  The white sparrow shouted from the side: "Commander!"

   "Shut up!" Zhang Yan turned her head and shouted in a low voice, "...Look at me like this, how long can I live?! I die early, so I can give my brothers another way of life! Worth it!"

Zhang Yan turned her head, ignored the white bird, and grabbed Zhao Yun tightly with both hands. With so much force, the festering wounds on her body burst open again, and blood and pus leaked out little by little, "Promise me! Look at me!" For the sake of love for so many years, promise me!"

   "Commander, please tell me..." Zhao Yun said.

Zhang Yan stared into Zhao Yun's eyes, and said word by word: "From today onwards, you are the commander of Montenegro! Take my head back! If I am wrong, let me take a look at this farming paradise, I am willing to die! If he still changes in the end, then I am not wrong! You must avenge me, avenge me! Call the brothers in Black Mountain, kill him for me, kill him! Promise me, promise me! "

  Zhao Yun was stunned, looking at Zhang Yan, he didn't expect Zhang Yan to make such a request, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not...
