The Three Kingdoms

Zhang Liao was wearing a battle armor and a cloak. He stood with a burly body, his hands on his back, and his eyes were gloomy. Looking at the Wu army outside the city, his mind seemed to return to Xiaoguan when the Lu Kingdom was defeated in the past.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to come to this step!"

History seems to be repeating itself.

When the Lu State he and Lu Bu established was defeated, internal and external difficulties, Lu Bu had already surrendered, and his soldiers and horses were trapped in Xiaoguan, and he had a desperate situation.

only……

Looking at the banners outside the city, Zhang Liao could not bear the bitterness on his face. He never thought that this time the soldiers came to the city to destroy his city gate, and the one who took his life was actually his sworn brother Lu Bu who he grew up with and followed when he was young.

That day he clearly fell in love with the lord Cao Cao, but he was reluctant to lead his troops to surrender above Xiaoguan. He was worried about this, maybe he should have thought of such a day.

In these years, he fought for Cao Wei, destroyed Jin and Liang, and fought in the north and south, but he always carefully avoided fighting him.

But after all, they couldn't escape the decisive battle on the battlefield.

Moreover, in this battle, Lu Bu approached the city in a victorious posture. He just returned to the predicament of the year again, and once again faced the choice of surrendering or fighting to the end.

"General, the Wu army is getting closer, as long as they cross the moat, they will attack the city directly!"

Beside Zhang Liao, six or seven school lieutenant generals looked worriedly at Wu Jun approaching outside the city, and someone said worriedly.

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

Zhang Liao's eyes were firm: "Why worry? With their troops and horses, even if Lu Bu committed suicide and wanted to break the city, it would be wishful thinking!"

"General!"

At this time, a young general walked up from the bottom of the city to the top of the city, and then bowed respectfully to Zhang Liao's back.

This young general is about seventeen or eighteen years old, very young, but his appearance is obviously similar to Zhang Liao's face, but his temperament is less calm and more vigorous .

He is Zhang Liao's only son, Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu is the only son of Zhang Liao. When he surrendered to Cao Wei with his father, he was already seven or eight years old when he left Xuzhou, and he started to understand. He naturally knew the relationship between his father Zhang Liao and his uncle Lu Bu.

And when Yu Jin led his troops to leave Hulao Pass, he was already disappointed with Cao Wei, so he was willing to open the city and surrender, but his father Zhang Liao was persistent and was always unwilling to surrender to Lu Bu outside the city.

"There are people coming from outside the city again!" Zhang Hu took a step forward and reported in a low voice.

"killed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao replied indifferently.

He knew that Lu Bu wanted to surrender, but he couldn't surrender, so he told Lu Bu in this way that no matter what he did, he would not surrender to Soochow.

"Father, the person here is our acquaintance!" Zhang Hu reminded.

"Who?" Zhang Liao frowned.

"Uncle Fang Li!" Zhang Hu hurriedly said, "Uncle Fang Li who escorted my mother and I to Xiaoguan to meet my father!"

At the beginning, he was supporting troops in Xiaoguan, and Lu Bu in Xiapi had already surrendered. Being in a dilemma, he wanted to surrender to Cao Wei, but he had two considerations, one was Lu Bu, and the other was his wife and children who were still in Xiapi.

In the end, Lu Bu asked his family general Fang Li to escort his wife and children into Xiaoguan. Only then did he really make up his mind to surrender to Cao Wei.

"It's him?"

Zhang Liao's eyes were clustered, and there was a cold light in his eyes, but he sighed helplessly: "Bo Jing, let him come up, I really want to see, Boss Lu sent him here, what do you want?" say what?"

"promise!"

Zhang Hu bowed his hands respectfully and accepted the order.

Not less than half a moment later, he led a middle-aged man to the top of the city.

"Fang Li pays homage to Second Master!"

Fang Li is Lu Bu's family general, not a general in the army, so the honorific title he used is also the honorary title of the mansion.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, although the three of them are not as uproarious as Liu Bei and others, but they are indeed sworn brothers who support each other on the grassland.

Lu Bu is the head, Zhang Liao is the second, and Gao Shun is the youngest.

"Fang Li, long time no see!" Zhang Liao said flatly.

"How is Second Master?" Fang Li smiled.

"Do you think I look good like this?" Zhang Liao sarcastically said, "I have lost to your master now!"

"Second Master was joking!" Fang Li said seriously, "It was Cao Wei who lost to our Great Wu, not Second Master who lost to the Commander. The Commander said that if the two armies are equal in strength, we don't know who will win!"

"You are very good at comforting this general, but now we are in the midst of two armies. I and Lu Fengxian are my masters. I and you are already life and death enemies. What does Lu Fengxian have to say?"

Zhang Liao's tiger eyes gathered a stern look, and asked coldly.

"The commander asked me to pass a word to Second Master!" Fang Li cupped his hands.

"Say!"

"The commander said that His Majesty has already promised him that he is willing to use all the meritorious service he has established in Dawu, even if he is called Baiding, in exchange for the second master's life. As long as the second master is willing to open the city and surrender , and protect you too!"

Fang Li said word by word, "Second Lord, please think about it carefully!"

"Don't think about it!"

Zhang Liao felt a little trembling in his heart. It was impossible to say that he was not moved at all, but he couldn't show it. His indifferent expression was expressionless, and he said decisively: "Go back and tell Lu Fengxian that since Zhang Wenyuan had already chosen Cao Wei back then, he is willing to do it for him. Choose to bear, the battle at Hulaoguan, and the battle between me and him are inevitable. If he has the ability to kill this general, I, Zhang Wenyuan, have no complaints against him, but if he wants this general to surrender, I will give him Three words, can't do it!"

"Second Master..." Fang Li paused.

"go back!"

There was a murderous intent in Zhang Liao's voice: "I won't kill you because we have old relationships. If you say something more, I will immediately behead your head and sacrifice the flag!"

Hearing this, Fang Li felt a chill in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and left without saying a word.

"Father!"

At this time, Zhang Hu became a little impatient. He looked at Zhang Liao's face, and said, "The current situation, we are just fighting against trapped beasts. Sooner or later, the Hulao Gate will not be able to hold. Why..."

He brought Fang Li in, hoping to persuade his father to open the city gate and surrender.

"Why should you be buried with a court that is about to be destroyed, right?"

Zhang Liao interrupted him with a squinting look: "Bo Jing, everyone can surrender, except father, it's as simple as that!"

"why?"
