Chapter 181: Zhang Yide from Yan is here!
Chapter 181: Zhang Yide from Yan is here!
"Third brother! Third brother!!" At the foot of Xiling City, Guan Yu dismounted from his horse and looked at Zhang Fei, who committed suicide with a spear on the top of the city wall. He felt dizzy.
He took one step forward, one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking completely lost...
After Liu Wu returned to Jingnan, Guan Yu left Xuchang alone on horseback.
Back then, he passed through five gates and killed six generals, rode alone for thousands of miles, and after going through untold hardships, he finally reunited with his brothers in the ancient city.
Now, he wants to meet his brothers again, and no one can stop him!
He traveled day and night, not daring to stop for even a single day, and finally returned to Jingxiang, where he finally met his eldest brother and third brother, but... but how could this happen?
Since Taoyuan, the three brothers have fought in many battles, and traveled all over the place. Even during the most difficult time when they were being pursued south by Cao Cao, the three of them never separated.
The Peach Garden Alliance, the words of living and dying together, are still ringing in our ears...
Guan Yu's face turned pale. He looked at Zhang Fei on the city wall and muttered to himself, "When we swore brotherhood in Peach Garden, we did not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year..."
"Third brother, why did you break your alliance and oath?!"
Zhuge Liang saw Guan Yu's figure, but at this moment he did not feel the slightest joy at the return of the general. Kong Ming looked at Zhang Fei, who was covered in blood on the city wall, and sighed.
Wow! ~
Wolong raised his sleeves and covered his face with a feather fan, hiding the sorrow on his face.
However, he forgot that Zhang Fei had always been very close to Liu Wu. When Liu Wu fled to Gong'an, Zhang Fei had even advised Liu Bei about this.
Now that Zhang Fei was asked to attack Xiling, he did not want to destroy the foundation of his own nephews, nor could he go against his brother's wishes. Given the straightforward and simple character of this Third General, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and had no choice but to commit suicide to face his brother and nephews.
Zhuge Liang was filled with regret. He should have thought of this earlier. When his lord asked Zhang Yide to attack the city personally, he should have persuaded him to stop.
Now that Zhang Fei has died to show his will, the lord is in a critical situation and has lost a great general. What should he do?
"My lord..." Kong Ming wanted to say something to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was completely disheartened at the moment and could not listen to anything.
In these years, Liu Xuande had failed again and again in his quest to restore the Han Dynasty. It was only with the desperate help of his two brothers that he was able to make a comeback time and time again.
Since the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood, it was Yunchang and Yide who protected him and fought all the way. It was the two brothers who supported his hope of restoring the Han Dynasty.
On the battlefield to suppress the Yellow Turbans, they charged left and right for their own sake.
In Xuzhou, for their own sake, they fought against Lu Bu and refused to give in.
In Xuchang, for their own safety, they risked their lives and broke into Cao Cao's residence.
In Jingzhou...
In Jiangdong...
In Chibi...
Even though Yide was clearly on Liu Wu's side in his heart, when he and that evil son were fighting each other, he still stood on his side.
But now...
Liu Bei regretted that he should not have forced Zhang Fei to attack Xiling City. He should not have forced Zhang Fei to destroy the foundation of his closest nephews with his own hands.
Although he hated Liu Wu, how could Liu Wu's foundation be even a fraction of that of his own brother? !
Liu Xuande's injuries, which had never been healed, became even more serious due to the surging of his qi and blood.
Tread~
Liu Bei's legs went weak and he was about to fall backwards.
"My lord!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Liu Huangshu's heart was broken, and he burst into tears: "Third brother, you are so confused..."
……
Tick tick tick~
On the top of the city wall, blood fell to the ground along the Zhangba Snake Spear, raising a cloud of dust.
Zhang Fei looked at the people below the city with difficulty.
He saw his elder brother Liu Xuande,
He saw the military advisor Zhuge Liang,
He also saw his second brother Guan Yu who had returned from the north...
The second brother also came back, and the brothers were finally reunited. The three brothers could drink together again in the future...
In the future?
The light in Zhang Feihuan's eyes dimmed. The severe pain in his chest and his increasingly weak body kept reminding him that he had no future.
Zhang Yide regretted that he shouldn't have committed suicide just now.
He was not afraid of death, what he was afraid of was that he would never be able to reunite with his two brothers again.
Although my eldest brother is sometimes indecisive, procrastinates, and tends to do foolish things, I always admire his benevolent heart and his ambition to support the Han Dynasty.
The second brother was arrogant, but he was loyal and righteous throughout his life, had superb martial arts, and was famous throughout the world, so he convinced me.
Over the years, the three brothers have been inseparable. Even if they have to go through fire and water, or risk their lives, Zhang Yide feels extremely happy as long as he follows his two brothers.
Zhang Yide whispered to himself: "What a pity..."
Unfortunately, after today, I will never be able to see my two brothers again.
His life experiences flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern...
That was at Hulao Pass, where the eighteen princes fought against Dong Zhuo.
Eighteen large flags stood in the open space.
In the camp, all the princes in the world gathered together, but they were stopped by Lu Bu under the tiger's prison.
The trusted generals they sent out were killed outside the city one by one.
The princes were terrified and anxious.
The princes quarreled endlessly,
They are just like the noisy common people in the market. Where is the dignity of the princes of the world?
Zhang Yide really couldn't bear it anymore, so he held a 10-foot-long spear in his hand and rode his horse like the wind towards the rider at Hulao Pass holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, who was surrounded by corpses of generals!
Spears and halberds clashed and the fighting was fierce.
A blue dragon sword roared towards them,
There were double-edged swords swinging like clouds. That day, three heroes fought against Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass.
On that day, everyone in the world knew the names of the three brothers!
……
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
That was before Changbanpo, when Cao Mengde's army chased the three brothers all the way.
Zhao Zilong rode alone, moving back and forth among Cao Cao's army.
A white armor kills red,
He rescued Madam Gan, Madam Mi, and the Mi brothers...
He protected Ah Dou.
He killed seven people in and out seven times!
Amid the roar of mountains collapsing and the earth cracking, Zhao Yun was trapped in a siege and could not break out.
It was my eldest nephew who rode his horse with his spear in hand and charged into the army.
Awu was like an eagle feather arrow, piercing through the heavy siege of Cao's army. He fought side by side with Zilong and helped him finally break out of the siege.
Two blood-red figures, riding their horses at full speed, rushed towards the Dangyang Bridge that they were guarding.
He let them pass, and one man on horseback, with a spear in hand, immediately blocked the way in front of Dangyang Bridge.
He stopped before Cao Mengde's carriage.
It also stopped Cao's army of more than 10,000 people... "Yanren Zhang Yide is here!!!"
……
call! ~
Zhang Fei was in a trance, as if he had woken up from the past. His eyes fell on Guan Yu outside the city. He grinned and said, "Second brother, you are finally back..."
Under the city,
Hearing his third brother, who used to roar like thunder and could take the head of a general in an army of millions, now calling him weakly, this brave general who had killed Yan Liang, beheaded Wen Chou, and passed five passes and killed six generals, was already in tears and did not dare to look up.
Liu Bei standing aside had a pale face and his eyes were tightly closed and he didn't want to open them.
Zhuge Liang felt sad, sighed, and turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it.
Zhang Fei looked at his brothers who had gathered outside the city, but his heart was sad. Everyone was there, but unfortunately his eldest nephew was not there.
The first time I met my eldest nephew was at the market in Zhuo County. The three brothers met that day and immediately hit it off. So they burned incense and worshipped heaven and earth in their own peach garden and became brothers...
In Taoyuan, Zhuo County, three figures were laughing non-stop.
"It is a great blessing in my life to meet you two brothers today!"
"Brother Xuande has great ambitions. Guan is willing to follow you till death!"
"Me too!"
The spring breeze blows, and the garden is filled with colorful fallen petals.
Under the big peach tree with twisted branches, the sacrificial animals of pig, cow and sheep have been placed on the altar.
In front of the offerings is an ancient and huge incense burner.
Three figures knelt respectfully in front of the altar. A young man passed three lit incense sticks to the three people and said incoherently, "Father, two uncles, please..."
Looking at the young man holding the greasy chicken leg in his mouth, Liu Xuande's face flushed, "Awu! How can you be so rude? Have you forgotten all the rules your father taught you?"
Normally, the boy even had a full meal as a luxury, but in the home of his third uncle who started out as a butcher, he was able to eat meat for the first time.
"Hahaha, big brother, are you afraid that Ah Wu will make me broke?" Zhang Yide laughed and touched the boy's head: "We are my own nephew, why should we have so many rules?"
The spring wind became stronger and stronger, blowing the smoke into disarray and shattering the scene before my eyes...
The peach orchard, full of spring colors, turned into a vast expanse of white snow in the city of Gong'an.
It was a pitch-black night, but what met my eyes was a blinding white.
The snow fell heavily and seemed to never stop.
Liu Wu's figure was getting farther and farther away from Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei wanted to call out to his nephew, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what. The whole world was silent.
Liu Wu is gone.
Liu Wu's figure disappeared on that snowy night.
I should have stopped Wu...
Endless regret surrounded Zhang Fei, and the darkness around him completely surrounded him like a tide...
Xiling City Head,
Zhang Fei's body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
puff~
A heavy voice sounded, and Zhang Fei fell down...
call! ~
The strong wind roared on the river, and the Jiangling fleet took advantage of the strong wind, sailing to the outside of Xiling City with its sails filled.
On the leading ship, Liu Wu was sitting in the cabin, with the cabin door facing the top of Xiling City.
Wow! ~
The river breeze lifted the bamboo curtain at the cabin door.
On the top of the city wall, a black tower-like figure collapsed with a bang, and was seen clearly by those bright eyes...
