Li Zhang

Ling Yuncong has been avoiding Li Zhang ever since he arrived in Dingnan Army, and Li Zhang didn't bother to meet him either.When Mu Yun's crazy actions were in progress, Li Zhang was not far away from them, watching Mu Yun commit suicide and fall from his horse, he was as shocked as Ling Yuncong who was almost killed with Mu Yun.Afterwards, Ling Yuncong refused to leave the army with the wounded soldiers, so he randomly found a vacancy in the army and settled down by himself.

Pingdu had cooperated with Ling Yuncong in the attack on Yizhou. After hearing Li Zhang's brief explanation of his experience of being captured, he admired him quite a lot. .After Li Zhang knew about it, he didn't ask any more questions.

They have been close since they were young, and they thought they would always help each other, but they completely changed their lives after that day that they couldn't look back on.Ling Yuncong was really ashamed and hated, and Li Zhang couldn't really let go of it. The two brothers who used to talk about everything now find it hard to even meet each other.

When Ling Yuncong came over, Li Zhang had just finished the bowl of miscellaneous grain noodle soup.Ling Yuncong silently took out a paper bag and put it on the table, turned his head to look elsewhere and said, "Brothers caught some rabbits during the daytime patrol, and asked me to bring some for you."

Li Zhang was stunned for a moment, reached out to open the paper bag, and saw that it was a roasted brown rabbit hind leg, he couldn't help but leaned closer and took a deep breath: "It smells so good!"

He said that he had torn off a piece of meat, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully, Ling Yuncong saw it with a peeping eye, and unconsciously let go of his tense spirit.

"Let's eat together, cousin."

Li Zhang moved the map on the table away, and greeted Ling Yuncong to sit at the table, with a calm tone, as if nothing had happened, but after all, it was no longer the intimacy it used to be.

Ling Yuncong felt bitter in his heart, looked up at Li Zhang's gentle and calm eyes, and spoke a little nervously: "I, I have eaten! This is what they left for you!"

Li Zhang laughed, shook his head and exposed Ling Yuncong's lies: "I took them around for nothing these days, and they didn't even have enough to eat. Thank God they don't blame me, they don't think of me anymore. It's my cousin's share!"

Ling Yuncong blushed suddenly, stared at Li Zhang and said earnestly: "No one will blame you! The Battle of Zhaozhou is just around the corner, and it is only a temporary crisis. Even if the army's morale is shaken, it has not yet broken up! As long as we seize the opportunity and fight a battle, we will be able to completely reverse the disadvantage!"

Li Zhang stared at Ling Yuncong and asked, "Cousin sees an opportunity?"

Ling Yuncong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't tell. Although the enemy is weak and we are strong now, we are trapped in the enemy's stronghold. If you insist on a decisive battle with Kolubi, you should do so as soon as possible. I will go on patrol today At that time, he found signs of troop mobilization in the south, or..." He stared straight into Li Zhang's eyes, took a deep breath and said, "It's also our chance!"

Li Zhang was not too surprised when he heard that the enemy's situation had changed, but because of Ling Yuncong's opinion, he had new ideas.He spread out the map, sorted out the information again, and recalculated the progress of the two sides, with a focused expression and no distractions.

Ling Yuncong looked at his cousin who was frowning and thinking in a daze, thinking of all the past, it seemed like a lifetime away.The self-confidence and pride that once belonged to me, after repeated fate, has become no longer sure even myself.However, the timid retreat once belonged to Li Zhang, but under the hard work of the years, shed the gloomy shell and revealed the true colors of self-esteem and self-love.

He suddenly thought of Li Zhang who he had seen in the Wangfu school, with the same concentration and confidence, but he was mistaken for Sima Yi and Li Zhang to play together in order to please him.Thinking of my own self-righteousness in front of Li Zhang, I can't wait to leave this tent immediately!

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He habitually held the saber at his waist, but he remembered the sword cut off by this pure Jun sword and Li Zhang's stunned and confused expression. Looking at the Longyuan Sword in the tent, looking at the dragon-patterned jade ornament on the head of the sword, his messy mind suddenly calmed down.

He stared blankly at the Long Yuan sword, his heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness, so hot that he lost all other consciousness.

Li Zhang didn't know that Ling Yuncong had been through a lot of troubles in his heart for a while, and while thinking about the three-point chance of winning after repeated deduction, he looked at Ling Yuncong and asked seriously: "If I can attract Rouran people here, Cousin, are you sure you can help General Su take down Rongjiazhuang?"

Ling Yuncong came back to his senses for a moment: "Look Rouran here? This is the edge of the plain, how will you protect yourself if you are surrounded? It's too dangerous!"

"If this is not the case, it will be difficult to break the current deadlock, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to get rid of the other party's control. Rong Xie may not agree with Cheng Xuan's opinion of Rongjiazhuang as an important place. Under their own calculations, they will all be willing to join forces first. Take out the stronger Dingnan Army first. No matter how tight the defenses around Rongjiazhuang are, it is not really a fortified wall. My uncle once led the Lingjia Army to fight a similar tough battle. If General Su gets the help of his cousin, he should be able to fight as soon as possible. Breaking through Rongjiazhuang. When the time comes, Rong Xie will definitely come back to save him, but Cheng Xuan will definitely refuse, and their disagreement is our opportunity!"

Ling Yuncong's eyes widened in astonishment, he stared at Li Zhang and asked in disbelief: "How do you know that the father general fought that battle? Wang Yuzhang blamed the father general for acting without permission. Ten army sticks!"

Li Zhang looked at Ling Yuncong who was still agitated by the past, put his shoulders on his shoulder and said comfortingly: "The more credit Wang Yuzhang robs, the less credit is really convincing in the end. If there is no more than ten years of bloodbath of the Ling family army Conquering and killing, how can Wang Yuzhang have such a glorious past! Does the final whereabouts of him and his uncle explain everything?"

Ling Yuncong lowered his head, thinking of his father's tragic death, he was filled with guilt: "I killed my father, my mother, and even you! I, I'm sorry!"

As Ling Yuncong said, he was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but was supported by Li Zhang: "Since my cousin knows his mistake, why don't you take the credit for the crime?"

Li Zhang looked serious, and Ling Yuncong stopped his movements unexpectedly.

Li Zhang knew his intentions and continued: "Although it was a mistake, it was because of my cousin. Poor my mother was troubled by me and died in Baoen Temple... You can't do my mother, and I can't be the past It was just a misunderstanding. Without this war, you and I would never see each other again. But since the disaster of war has already happened, there is no excuse to do what should be done. General Ping trusts me and entrusts Dingnan Army to me, so I cannot let Ding The Southern Army was destroyed by me! Cousin, please help me!"

Ling Yuncong was completely stunned.Li Zhang's frankness and sincerity have greatly exceeded his expectations. The cousin who used to respect him in everything has now truly become a general who takes responsibility on his shoulders, and has become a general who welcomes him like his father. Difficult to overcome the backbone of the army!He finally saw the distance between himself and Li Zhang.

Pingshan, Dingbei army camp.The soldiers of the Dingbei Army, who lacked food and clothing, were sitting around the fire in twos and threes, eating the wild animals and fruits they had found. In the only simple tent, Su Qingyang, who was tired and worried, was looking at the map while waiting to go out to check. The scout who scouted the situation.The personal guard brought the dinner, and just as he put down the bowl, Zhao Boxi rushed in with a bowl of steaming snake soup, talking loudly about the harvest in the camp, as bold and forthright as ever.

Su Qingyang's gloomy mood was relieved by Zhao Boxi's yelling, and he picked up the hot soup and drank it, and the chill disappeared immediately.However, even though the chill had receded, the heaviness in my heart remained the same.He got up and raised the curtain, looked at the low clouds in the sky, and said worriedly: "The north wind has been getting stronger these two days, and the soldiers have thin autumn clothes and no food to eat. If there is no good way to get out of trouble, the situation will be in danger!"

Zhao Boxi has always followed Su Qingyang's order, but this time he was full of questions, and at this moment he asked all of his brains: "Why does the general insist on attacking Rongjiazhuang? Why do you stay here all the time? After being locked up, you are already a tired and disabled teacher, why don't you just return to Sizhou, take a supplementary rest, and then fight to the death with the thieves?"

Su Qingyang hesitated for a moment, and explained the situation of Rongjiazhuang: "The news Li Zhang found out is that Rongjiazhuang is an important material storage place for the northern barbarian invasion, and it is the real granary for the thieves. If we can get it In short, we will completely reverse the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and pass on our plight to the bandits. The northern barbarians will not last long, and the crisis can be solved!"

When Zhao Boxi heard that it was Li Zhang's information, he frowned instinctively. Seeing Su Qingyang's unsuspecting tone, he couldn't help questioning loudly: "How could Li Zhang know so clearly? Also tell the defense of Rongjiazhuang?"

Su Qingyang paused, did not tell the whole story about the hidden guards, but just defended Li Zhang: "Li Zhang has been with the emperor for a long time, and it is normal to have some sources of news that we don't know. As for the defense of the Rong family village, since the Rong family is willing to manage it , even Shanggu County Sheriff can be secretly replaced by him, the most important Rongjiazhuang will naturally not be easily discovered. I am afraid that Li Zhang himself will be surprised when he comes to Rongjiazhuang's heavy defense !"

Zhao Boxi didn't know, but he said that Su Qingyang also changed his attitude because Li Zhang was reused. Unexpectedly, he couldn't accept it, but he didn't insist on his own opinion.

While talking, the camp suddenly became noisy, and the sound of horseshoes broke the silence of the night. Someone rushed over and told Su Qingyang: "Liu Xi and Liu Pian will escape from the camp!"

Su Qingyang was startled and suspicious when a black shadow passed by outside the tent, and he raised a dart to attack Su Qingyang's face, and was caught by Su Qingyang.

Amidst the exclamations of the guards and Zhao Boxi, Su Qingyang noticed the strangeness of the darts flying between his fingers, and hid them in his sleeves calmly. Then, he ordered Zhao Boxi to find out the situation of Liu Xi's escape in person, and sent the guards to carry out the inspection of each battalion. After checking the situation of the team, he took out the dart under the lamp for a closer look, and found that the body of the dart was actually made of soft lead. After disconnecting it, he saw the letter hidden inside.He read it calmly, and frowned thoughtfully.

On the other hand, the Dingbei Army's raid on Rongjiazhuang caused Cheng Xuan to give up his plan to continue going south, and went west to capture Shimen, an important place for manufacturing arsenals. command center.After the Dingbei Army retreated into Pingshan, the Rouran Army quickly captured a large area in the north of Jizhou, completely separated the Dingbei Army trapped in Pingshan from the Dingnan Army held back by Rong Xie, and implemented the battle plan of dividing and annihilating them Most of it.

Cheng Xuan had the chance to win, he ignored Wei's new line of defense at Xiaoguan and Hulaoguan, and tried his best to wipe out the two armies that Wei could really fight.Because Shimen is the main weapon manufacturing center of the imperial court, with a complete administrative area and solid city defense facilities, Chengxuan changed the government office into a palace, brought Sima Qiu from Zhangyuan, and ordered Rong Xie to transfer the supplies to the imperial court in the name of Sima Qiu. into the stone gate.

Rong Xie originally wanted Cheng Xuan and the Dingbei Army to fight for both losses, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman. Unexpectedly, after breaking through the siege, the Dingbei Army would raid Rongjiazhuang and introduce Cheng Xuan and Rouran people to Jizhou. There is no reason to continue to oppose the order.

In anxiety, the township soldiers caught several deserters from the Dingnan Army, and learned that the generals of the Dingnan Army clashed with Li Zhang because they were dissatisfied with Li Zhang's command.In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, Pingdu withdrew his command and put Li Zhang under house arrest.

Rong Xie immediately felt that there was an opportunity, so he reported the situation to Chengxuan, and took the opportunity to ignore the transfer of materials.Cheng Xuan didn't quite believe it, so he sent several groups of agents to investigate. The reports of the agents were all consistent with Rong Xie's information. It was all due to the fact that under the pressure of the Dingnan Army's increasing shortage of food and grass, the generals asked to give up the pursuit, but Li Zhangjian refused to agree. Xia Pingdu catered to the crowd and completely isolated Li Zhang.There is even more news that Li Zhang went on a hunger strike because of this anger, and even his old illness relapsed, tossing and turning in the tent, and no one paid attention to him.

Cheng Xuan had known that Li Zhang was a man who accepted death, and he had no doubts so far. He immediately transferred [-] Rouran troops to Xiling, commanded by General Hexi, and together with Rong Xie and Kelubi, they attacked the southern army and vowed to Annihilated the Dingnan Army in one fell swoop.

Not long after Hexi left, Liu Xi and Liu Yun came to join him.Because Sima Yi sealed off the capital after Liu Dianzhai's incident, the news in Beijing could not be sent out. Cheng Xuan didn't know the result of Liu Dianzhai's disposal. When he heard that Sima Yi was going to destroy the Liu family, he couldn't help shouting in his heart, "God help me!" also!"

He inquired about the situation at that time in detail, and Liu Yun angrily told how his elder brother tricked him out of the palace after he got the news, and fought with the officers and soldiers who were chasing them at the city gate to cover him from escaping from the capital, but he was seriously injured and captured again.Liu Xi kept his head down and listened, his stiff shoulders clearly revealed his struggle and excitement.

Cheng Xuan was no longer suspicious, and introduced the two of them to Sima Qiu, who would come forward to praise the loyalty of the Liu family, and as the new emperor, promised to be a high-ranking official and noble, and bought people's hearts.Liu Xi and Liu Yun thanked each other perfunctorily, and Sima Qiu casually dismissed the two of them, and hurriedly ran back to the backyard to continue playing with the clams.

Liu Xi and Liu Xu left the palace, looking around, they were all Rouran who were driving the people of Wei, they didn't know where to go.After walking aimlessly for a while, Liu Xi looked around for no one, and said to Liu Yun in a muffled voice, "What does this mean? Do you want us to join Rouran? Look at them, they don't look like they are people from the Great Wei!"

Liu Yun was even more bored, thinking about what his father had done and the nearly lost heads of the whole family, he said in a low voice bitterly: "You look like a thief, he is already a soft person, I am afraid that King Anding is just a puppet I hate that my father gave him a lifetime of fame in vain!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help grabbing Liu Xi and yelling in a low voice: "Dad didn't even discuss such a serious matter with the eldest brother! What's more, the second brother is in the frontline army that is trapped without food! Second brother, you Are you saying that Daddy is bewitched?!"

Liu Xi was dejected, and reluctantly comforted Liu Yun, saying: "Father is sincere. He taught us to be grateful and repay him since we were young. We can't be ungrateful on our own. Since Master Jin sent you to find me, it may not be all right for Daddy. Let's It is also filial piety to take credit for father's crime!"

Liu Yun gave a muffled "hmm", but asked uncertainly: "What should we do? If the thieves leave us in Shimen, they still won't be able to make meritorious deeds!"

"Master Jin has no specific instructions?"

Liu Yun shook his head: "Just let us play by ear."

As soon as the words were finished, hurried footsteps came from behind them. Liu Yun and Liu Xi turned their heads together, only to see Cheng Xuan's entourage hurriedly said: "The two generals let me find it! My lord, please go there!"

The author has something to say:

Continue to ramble, so the upper, middle and lower of this "middle market" can only change the numbers. OTL has no documents for a long time, so it will be delayed for a while, and there will be things that are not thoughtful.People who haven't even read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" seriously must not stand up to scrutiny if they write only based on the imaginary feeling of war.I just don’t want to be too child’s play, I just feel that Li Zhang’s hard work should have a chance to bloom, just to give Li Zhang real happiness, I force myself to write this, tired but happy.
