"Could it be that the heavens really want me, Zhang Yun, to die in Fan City?!" Zhang Yun's heart sank when he heard the battle cries coming from Fan City.
"What's going on? Does Zhang Yun have reinforcements in the city?" Zhang Yun thought that Liu Bei's army had broken through the gates and rushed into the city. Liao Hua also thought that Zhang Yun's reinforcements were in the city.
"Hm?" Zhang Yun originally wanted to die in battle on Fan City. His heart was already dead, but he found that Liao Hua's offensive had actually slowed down.
Liao Hua was shrinking the defensive line. What was going on?
"General, General, good news, good news!" A thousand-man Xiangyang Navy general ran over and shouted to Liao Hua.
The battle above Fan City had already reached this point. Even Zhang Yun himself had to go to the battlefield to fight, let alone a thousand soldiers.
"What good news?" Zhang Yun was now numb. The war had already reached this point. What good news could there be?
"Our reinforcements! Reinforcements!" The thousand-man general panted as he shouted.
"Our reinforcements?" Zhang Yun was stunned. Since when did he have reinforcements? "Could it be that Big Brother is back?" Zhang Yun's eyes widened as he asked. He thought that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had returned with their men.
"No, no!" The general shook his head.
"Then what is it?" Zhang Yun was confused.
"Soldiers of Fan City, hold on! The reinforcements are here! We have won!" A familiar voice rang out behind Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun looked over and saw that the person holding a sword and wearing armor was none other than the person Zhang Yun was familiar with. "Young Master Ran?"
This person was Kuai Yue's son, Kuai Ran.
"Uncle Zhang!" Kuai Ran also saw Zhang Yun and walked over.
"Young Master Ran, these are?" Zhang Yun saw that Kuai Ran's troops were gradually replacing his men and occupying the key points of Fan City. Liao Hua's troops were being pushed back by Kuai Ran's troops.
"Could it be?" Zhang Yun was not a fool. Looking at the soldiers behind Kuai Ran, he knew that there were many of them. All of them were veterans, and Liao Hua's subordinates would crumble in an instant.
The Kuai Family definitely did not have such elite soldiers. Even if they did, there would not be so many of them.
If these were the Kuai Family's hidden troops, what good would it do them to hide them?
Fan City had fallen and the Cai and Zhang Families were in trouble. The Kuai Family was the same.
There was only one place that had so many soldiers and Kuai Ran... Yangzhou Army! "
Zhang Yun asked.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang. These are the soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy!" Kuai Ran confirmed Zhang Yun's guess.
"I knew it, I knew it!" Zhang Yun smiled bitterly. No wonder Sun Ce appeared on the battlefield with Jiangdong's Chu Army. It turned out that the Yangtze River Navy had arrived.
He did not expect that before Liu Bei finished dealing with the wolf, the Yangzhou Army would arrive. It seemed like Fan City was going to be wiped out.
"Uncle Zhang, I think you've misunderstood!" Kuai Ran explained when he saw Zhang Yun's ashen expression.
Kuai Ran explained to Zhang Yun, "Uncle Zhang, the Yangtze River Navy didn't come of their own accord. They came because of Fan City's invitation!"
"Invited? Haha, who invited them? Your Kuai Family? " Zhang Yun looked at Kuai Ran mockingly. "Your Young Master Kuai married the younger sister of King of Han, Liu Mang. Now that you have offered Fan City to him, you must be rich!" Kuai Ran and Liu Mang were not only sworn brothers, but they were also in-laws.
"Uncle Zhang, that's not what I meant! You … "Kuai Ran did not know how to explain it to Zhang Yun.
"Hmph, our Kuai Clan is related to His Highness King of Han, but Cai Mao is His Highness King of Han's brother-in-law. He is the Little Prince's uncle. Zhang Yun, why don't you say that?" A middle-aged man who looked similar to Kuai Ran walked out.
"Kuai Liang!" Zhang Yun revealed the man's identity.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yun frowned and asked Kuai Liang.
"What else could I mean? Look carefully, this letter is for you. It's written in black and white. Take a look for yourself! "Kuai Liang said as he handed a letter to Zhang Yun.
On the letter was written, 'To My Younger Brother Zhang Yun'. There was only one person who could call Zhang Yun 'Younger Brother', and that was Cai Mao. Zhang Yun opened the letter suspiciously.
Soon, he finished reading his book.
"How can this be?" Zhang Yun was stunned when he finished reading the letter.
"What happened to the general?" Zhang Yun's deputy asked.
"Big Brother has surrendered to King of Han, Liu Mang!" Zhang Yun said subconsciously. The letter was Cai Mao's letter to Zhang Yun to persuade him to surrender. In other words, Cai Mao was telling Zhang Yun that he had already surrendered to His Highness King of Han. The reason he could not return in time was because of Pang Shiyuan and Liu Bei. Since he could not return, Cai Mao would follow His Highness King of Han's army to attack Yi Province.
As for the crisis in Fan City, His Highness King of Han would take care of it.
As for how he appeased Zhang Yun in the letter, it was just a simple sentence. He asked Zhang Yun to go to Shouchun to visit his sister and nephew after the matter in Fan City was settled! The nephew was naturally the son of King of Han, Liu Mang, and Lady Cai.
Zhang Yun was a member of a noble family. He had been influenced by his family's interests since he was young. The reason he fought to the death in Fan City today was not because of his country. In fact, he knew that even if he surrendered to Liu Bei, the Zhang family would still be defeated. What Liu Bei wanted was not Fan City, but the wealth of the aristocratic families in Fan City.
How could he open the city gates and surrender to someone who wanted to rob his family?
However, things were different now. Although Liu Mang might increase the price of the Cai family's army supplies, it was an investment.
But this had become an investment. Who should he invest in? Naturally, it was the Little Prince, Liu Mang's only child from Lady Cai.
Liu Mang's power had already been revealed. Even if he could not unify the world, he could still split it with Cao Cao and the others. It would not be a problem for him to become a feudal lord.
If Liu Mang were to ascend the throne after a hundred years, the Cai Clan and the Lao Clan would rise with the tide.
After all, they were the young prince's family.
In an instant, the haze on Zhang Yun's face was swept away.
"Haha, many thanks to Brother Liang and Nephew Ran for delivering the letter to me!" Zhang Yun's attitude towards Kuai Liang immediately changed. From Young Master Ran to Nephew Ran, he now treated Kuai Liang as Brother Liang.
"Sigh!" Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Yun and shook his head. Although he looked down on Zhang Yun, this was still a prerequisite for the survival of the noble clans. Benefits were the only things that were truly trustworthy.
How could the Kuai family not be the same?
"Brother Zhang Yun, now is not the time to be thankful. You should immediately hand over the defensive layout of Fan City to us. I still need to lead the Yangzhou Army to help you defend Fan City!" Kuai Liang said to Zhang Yun.
"That's what I should do, that's what I should do! Zhang Yun nodded again and again. His whole face was filled with joy.
"But there is no hurry now!" Zhang Yun suddenly changed his mind.
"Hmm?" Kuai Liang frowned, thinking that even Cai Mao's letter could not move Zhang Yun.
"Brother Liang, you misunderstood!" Seeing Kuai Liang's frown, Zhang Yun knew that Kuai Liang had misunderstood.
"I just want to borrow some troops from Brother Liang!" Zhang Yun said to Kuai Liang.
"Borrow troops?" Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Yun doubtfully.
"Yes, I want to borrow some troops. I must have my revenge!" Zhang Yun said fiercely as he looked at Liao Hua who was anxiously arranging the defense.
Over the past few days, Zhang Yun had been mocked and ridiculed by Liao Hua more than once or twice. But each time, Zhang Yun could only be angered by Liao Hua until his face turned red.
He, Zhang Yun, could only endure. He might even die in battle in Fan City.
But now, the opportunity had come!
Kuai Liang and Kuai Ran had brought the Yangzhou Army, the elites of the Yangzhou Army. With these troops, Zhang Yun would be able to contend against Liao Hua. He wanted to let Liao Hua know that he, Zhang Yun, was not someone that could be compared to Liao Hua.
"Haha, Brother Zhang Yun, how many troops do you want to borrow?" Kuai Liang laughed. Zhang Yun had always been a prideful person. Now that such a prideful person was asking to borrow troops, it showed how badly Liao Hua had bullied Zhang Yun.
"Three thousand, no, no, no, two thousand is enough!" Zhang Yun still had some troops under his command and two thousand from the Yangtze River Navy was enough.
"Alright, I will lend you five thousand troops. Brother Zhang Yun, you can take your revenge!" Kuai Liang said to Zhang Yun.
"Then, many thanks, Brother Liang!" Zhang Yun did not decline and led the 5,000 soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy towards Liao Hua.
"Steady, steady!" Liao Hua was now in a terrible situation. Just a moment ago, he was still in a good situation. He didn't expect that Zhang Yun's army would suddenly have reinforcements. Moreover, there were so many of them.
The city walls that Liao Hua had just conquered were now gone. Even some of Liao Hua's defenses were about to fall.
"Where is Liao Hua? Come out and die!" Zhang Yun's voice echoed in the sky.
"Zhang Yun?" Liao Hua also saw Zhang Yun.
"Liao Hua, today is the day you die!" Zhang Yun also saw Liao Hua and couldn't help but show joy in his eyes. He raised his sword and led his five thousand troops to attack Liao Hua.
"Steady, steady! Axemen, come forward! Archers, shoot! Shoot!" Liao Hua wasn't frightened by the whole situation, so he was still in order.
"Be careful of the sword rain! Shield bearers, come forward!" When Zhang Yun saw Liao Hua's troops shooting a rain of arrows, he couldn't help but panic. He had forgotten that he didn't bring a shield with him. He was afraid that he would suffer heavy casualties.
But what made Zhang Yun's eyes light up was that they didn't need to use shields. As long as the arrows didn't pierce through the helmets of the Yangzhou Yangtze River Navy, then the Yangzhou Navy would stand up and continue to charge.
Zhang Yun saw several hedgehogs that were about to be shot out of the city, but they couldn't break through his armor at all. They continued to fight in his direction.
"Haha! Haha!" Zhang Yun couldn't help but laugh. "Liao Hua, today is the day you die!"
Pang Shiyuan also saw the situation in Fan City and clenched his fists. His fingernails almost dug into his flesh.
Fan City, Fan City, just as Fan City was about to be captured, the Yangzhou Army appeared. Hateful, hateful!
Guan Ping who was fighting with Taishi Ci managed to escape with the help of his personal guards. He rushed to Liu Bei's side and said, "Milord, Military Advisor. The situation is urgent. Please leave quickly."
Pang Shiyuan saw that Guan Ping's hand was bleeding. The blood flowed down his arm and dyed his sword red.
He didn't know if the blood on his body was his own or the enemy's.
He looked very tired.
"Ping 'er, aren't you suppressing Taishi Ci over there?" Liu Bei asked Guan Ping. This was because Guan Ping had been attacking while Taishi Ci had been passively defending.
"Milord, I am not Taishi Ci's opponent!" Guan Ping shook his head. Although his attacks were bold and powerful, it was useless if he couldn't hit the enemy.
On the other hand, Taishi Ci's situation was the opposite. Although Taishi Ci's spear couldn't pierce Guan Ping's vitals, it could still pierce Guan Ping's body from time to time, causing his wounds to split open and blood to flow out.
Sooner or later, he would be exhausted to death by Taishi Ci.
"Milord, let's retreat!" Pang Shiyuan gritted his teeth and said this. Yangzhou Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang! Pang Shiyuan hated this name to the bone.
Hearing Pang Shiyuandou's words, Liu Bei could only nod and retreat.
Liao Hua's soldiers were being pardoned. Each of them started to run as fast as they could. They wished that their parents had given them a pair of extra legs!
"Haha, Liao Hua, where are you running to? Die!" Zhang Yun chased happily.
"Damn it!" Liao Hua's teeth were about to shatter. This Zhang Yun was like a dog skin plaster. He couldn't tear it apart and kept chasing after him.
"Ah!" A blood-curdling scream came from the other side. Hu Che Er's entire body was sent flying. His entire body was embedded in the ground.
He and his horse were nailed to the ground of Fan City.
"Ghost, Ghost, Devil!" The Xiliang soldiers were scared silly. Hu Che Er was the God of War of Xiliang. In Xiliang, Hu Che Er was invincible. Even if he lost an arm, he was still a hero. However, such a fierce general was nailed to the ground by this young man. It was enough to see how terrifying this person was.
