The generals around him were afraid of being whipped for saying the wrong thing, so they followed Zhang Fei's words and said, "It's because I miss Guan Yu too much that I feel this way." So Zhang Fei ordered people to bring wine and drank a lot. Drunk, and then fell asleep directly in the camp. Fan and Zhang were looking for opportunities when they suddenly heard the news. They were overjoyed. At ten o'clock in the morning, they sneaked into the camp with a short knife and made up a reason. They pretended that they had confidential matters to report, and then When he came to Zhang Fei's bed, he didn't dare to make a move.
It turned out that Zhang Fei had a strange sleeping habit of sleeping with his eyes open. The two of them walked to the side and did not dare to come forward. Suddenly they heard Zhang Fei's thunderous snoring, so they dared to get closer and then pierced Zhang Fei's chest with a short knife. Heart, Zhang Fei screamed and died in his sleep at the age of fifty-five.
The two succeeded in one blow, cut off Zhang Fei's head, and took more than a dozen people to Soochow overnight. On the second day, the army learned of the news and led soldiers and horses to chase him, but the thieves had already escaped. Far. Zhang Fei had a general called Wu Ban who came from Jingzhou to see the First Lord. The First Lord used him as a Yamen general to assist Zhang Fei in guarding Langzhong. After learning about Zhang Fei's murder, he sent a memorial to the emperor and asked Zhang Fei to Zhang Bao, the eldest son of Zhang Bao, packed the body with a coffin and asked his younger brother Zhang Shao to guard Langzhong. Zhang Bao came to report the specific situation in person.
At that time, the First Lord had chosen a date for the Eastern Expedition. All the officials, big and small, followed Kong Ming for ten miles before returning. Kong Ming returned to Chengdu and was in a very low mood. He said to everyone: "If Fa Zheng is still here, we can definitely stop this Eastern Expedition." action."
It is said that after Yu Yi came back from Kong Ming, he went to find Su Xianxian and said: "In the past, the four of us, Your Majesty, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, which is known to the world. Now my second brother has been unfortunately killed by Soochow. As brothers, , we should take revenge, now the First Lord is marching eastward, I am leading the leading troops, totaling more than 200,000 people, I may have to go out for a long time!"
Tears flowed from Su Xianxian's eyes after hearing this, and she hugged Yu Yi tightly and said, "How could the First Lord let my husband go? I will go to my father and ask him to persuade the First Lord!"
Yu Yi gently pulled Su Xianxian's hand away and said softly: "It makes no sense for the late master to go now. Even the prime minister is still on the ground. I'm afraid that if dad goes again, he will be killed. I'm going to the east now. He is a man who has made great achievements. A man has ambitions in all directions. Take good care of yourself, maintain your health, and wait for my triumphant return!" After saying that, he opened the door, left his mansion, and walked in the direction where Huang Shumin and Lei Chunze lived.
After Huang Shumin and others entered Chengdu, they were bored in every possible way. When they heard that the First Lord was preparing to expedition eastward, and that the Young Lord was leading an army of 200,000, they became energetic and sharpened their guns in preparation for the attack. As for Yu Sisi and Yu Daye, who were sent back by Lei Chunze first, they were also raised in Huang Shumin's home and received Huang Shumin's devilish training. Since Yu Yi was the king of Jingzhou, their identities were different, but Yu Yi treated them well. He was very strict. Lei Chunze once persuaded Yu Yi to take the two children to his side. Yu Yi did not agree and just smiled and said: "Although I am the king of Jingzhou and rely on the Su family, I am also constrained by the Su family. It is not safe for Daye and Yu Sisi to be placed in the Su family." Therefore, the two children were never around Yu Yi.
In addition to returning to Su's house every day, Yu Yi would teach Yu Sisi and Yu Daye whenever he had time. Sometimes he would even let the two go to Kong Ming's house to receive Kong Ming's teachings. Decades later, the two children also When I grew up, I heard that my father was preparing to conquer the east, and they all wanted to participate.
Yu Yi had just arrived at Huang Shumin's home. Yu Sisi and Yu Daye were also there. They bowed and said in unison: "Father, please let us go on an expedition!"
Yu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "We don't have the right time and location for this attack. Whether we have the right people or not depends on the situation. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go out!"
Huang Shumin has a deep affection for her two children and echoed: "I agree with your father's idea. You should stay in Chengdu!"
Yu Sisi and Yu Daye were unhappy after hearing this, pushed the door open and left the hall.
Yu Yi sighed, pointed to the door and said, "Look, you've spoiled both children!"
Huang Shumin smiled and said: "Compared with the children of the powerful people in the court, they are much better!"
At this time, Xiaoli also came in, dressed in smart black clothes, her eyes gleaming, and said: "I heard that we are going to send troops to Soochow?"
Huang Shumin nodded and said: "Yes!"
At this time Lei Chunze also came, Yu Yi nodded and said: "Just in time, everyone is here. Let me briefly explain the situation. The First Lord raised 750,000 troops to attack Soochow, and I, as the vanguard, have two With 100,000 troops, this war is not a point-to-point war like in the past, but an overall war, and we must fully plan."
Everyone nodded. Yu Yi glanced at it and continued: "I want to divide the 200,000 horses into several teams. Huang Shumin will lead 50,000, Xiaoli will lead 30,000, Lei Chunze will lead 40,000, and the others will follow me. , as a backup.”
Xiaoli said: "These soldiers are all mixed soldiers from Chengdu and Jingzhou. Their quality is very different. If they are divided among us, I am afraid they will not obey the command and delay the important event!"
Lei Chunze said: "Young Master, you assigned so many troops to me, but I have never led them before. What should I do if I fail?"
Xiaoli's words reminded Yuyi, and he quickly said: "I will go to the First Master as soon as possible to bring over 200,000 soldiers and horses, and then you will come to select and conduct another training. As for Lei Chunze, I want to fight this time, You’d better give full play to your skills, and we’ll try our best to fight a cross-technical battle!”
Everyone discussed the details of the certificate and finally finalized the plan. Yuyi left the hall. When he walked outside the door, he happened to meet Xiaoli and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xiaoli nodded, turned around and left, leaving Yu Yi messy in the wind.
It turns out that Xiaoli's temperament has changed since she returned to Chengdu. Coupled with her long-term underground life and various trainings in Xuchang, it was difficult for her to return to a normal life, so she ignored Yu Sisi and downplayed her relationship with Yu Yi. , has been living independently, and what he does every day is to train, improve his physical fitness, and constantly surpass himself.
When Yu Yi saw Xiaoli leaving, he sighed. He felt indebted to Xiaoli in his heart.
But after Zhang Fei left, the First Lord was frightened every day. He couldn't sleep or eat well. He walked outside the camp to observe the sky. Suddenly he saw a falling star in the northwest. It was as big as a bucket, and he felt very puzzled. , sent someone overnight to ask Kong Ming.
Kong Ming said: "Judging from the celestial phenomena, a general has died. There will definitely be news within three days."
So the First Lord suspended his troops and waited for the news. The next day, a close official came to report: "Wu Ban, the general of Zhang's chariot and cavalry department in Langzhong, sent someone to deliver a letter."
The First Master suddenly stood up and asked: "Is my third brother going to die?" After saying this, he opened the letter of approval with great trembling. It was indeed the news of Zhang Fei's death. The First Master could no longer stand and burst into tears. , fainted on the ground, and everyone stepped forward to save him.
