Being able to come from the Jinniu Road, the team was naturally flying their own flag. Liu Chan's eyesight was very good, and he saw the word "Zhang" on the general's flag when he was still far away.
Could it be the third uncle? Why is he here.
But Liu Chan immediately thought of the reason and felt warm in his heart.
What else could be the reason? It must be the reinforcements sent by the old man and others because they were afraid that they would be disadvantaged in the war.
It was a long and difficult journey, and to be able to reach Hanzhong at this time must be because the old man sent his third uncle here as soon as he received the battle report.
And the third uncle must have mobilized troops as quickly as possible to help him, so that he could finally meet him in front of Yangping Pass.
Suddenly a general broke away from the marching team, whipped his horse and galloped over. The horse was completely black, with only white hair on its four hooves. It was the dark clouds trampling on the snow.
"Adou——!"
Before anyone could get close, the loud voice came over first. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Fei?
Mr. Zhang arrived on horseback. After dismounting, he strode over without waiting to greet each other.
Just when Liu Chan raised his hand to say hello, Zhang Fei grabbed his hands first and stunned him.
Zhang Fei said nothing, and looked Liu Chan up and down, backwards and forwards, left and right, exhaled a breath of relief, and then said: "Adou, are you injured?"
Liu Chan felt warm in his heart and smiled: "Don't worry, third uncle, Chan is not injured."
Whether it was on the slopes of Changban or in the middle of the Jingzhou River, this person was among the people who saved him back then.
In fact, he told a little lie, after all, he was hit by an arrow in his left arm.
But as Liu Chan's physique has improved, his immunity, self-healing ability, etc. have also improved. The scabs on the arrow wound have now fallen off, leaving only a scar. It is estimated that in a while, even the scar will not be visible. .
"That's good." Zhang Fei said with a smile, and then glanced at Liu Chan's army, and keenly discovered that nearly a quarter of them were suspected of being burned by fire, and there were also seriously injured people.
Seeing this situation, and meeting Liu Chan and his troops here, Zhang Fei immediately "understood" what happened.
"Adou, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers, so you don't have to worry about it. My two brothers and I didn't often suffer defeats back then, and we also built a foundation." Zhang Fei said, his chest clapping loudly, "Uncle Third, this time I will personally order troops to help you, and we will fight back! This time we will definitely make Cao Jun look good!"
Zhang Fei received an order to send his general with 5,000 troops to Hanzhong for support. He was anxious at that time. How could 5,000 troops be enough?
He also sent his next general, a bird general. If he didn't come, he wouldn't be called Zhang Fei!
So Mr. Zhang immediately secretly ordered 15,000 men and horses, ordered Zhang Da to stay in Langzhong, and led the army to come day and night with Fan Qiang as his deputy general.
It seems to be okay now, it's not too late. Although it seems that the three counties are lost, it's good that Adou is fine.
Liu Chan was stunned for a while, then looked at Ma Chao and found that he had a similar expression. The two looked at each other for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Now it was Zhang Fei's turn to wonder.
"What are you laughing at! Although we have lost the city at this time, the cities in the three counties are not strong cities. We have prepared more siege equipment from Hanzhong, so we will not be able to defend it for a long time."
Liu Chan stopped smiling and said, "Third uncle only saw wounded soldiers, why didn't he see the prison cars in our army?"
"...What kind of prison car." Zhang Fei looked at the Red Star Army for a while, and the soldiers voluntarily moved away from his sight. Sure enough, he saw a horse-drawn prison car among them, with five people sitting on it.
"Third uncle, let's take a look and see if you can recognize it?"
Zhang Fei walked over with a puzzled look on his face. There were five people in the prison van, three of them had unkempt hair, and the other two had clean and tidy faces. They didn't look like prisoners.
One of the two clean and tidy people was naturally Xia Houshang. Because Liu Chan had a good impression of him, he did not treat him harshly.
The other one is Xu Huang. Liu Chanjing is a famous general of his generation, and he also has the intention of recruiting him, so he didn't do anything to him after being captured... Of course, the big bump on the back of his head that Ma Chao knocked out has not been there until now. Eliminate it.
Mr. Zhang didn't recognize Xia Houshang, but he recognized Xu Huang at a glance.
"Hahaha, Gong Ming, are you okay?" The cheerful Mr. Zhang walked to the prison car with a bright smile on his dark face... so bright that Xu Huang wanted to punch him.
"Humph!" He snorted coldly and looked away.
Unexpectedly, Master Zhang came around to him again and continued to smile: "Gongming's appearance now is much more pleasing to the eye than when he was in Hanzhong, huh? Hahahaha."
Xu Huang's face turned red with anger: "If you want to kill me, kill me. I am not your capture, so who have the right to humiliate me here?"
"Huh? Do you think someone can't capture you? Come on, come out, we'll see how we can fight him!"
Liu Chan immediately stepped forward and pulled him away: "He hasn't had any food or water for several days, so my third uncle defeated him. How can he win without using force?"
Zhang Fei nodded, that's true.
Liu Chan immediately changed the subject: "This is Xia Houshang, the general of Cao's army this time."
Xia Houshang, who was stroking the sachet in his hand, did not react as violently as Xu Huang, and even smiled and nodded.
Liu Chan had sent several people to Yecheng in front of him. Before he was sure that Ah Yue was safe, he did not want to stalemate the relationship with Liu Chan and others.
Zhang Fei also smiled at Xia Houshang: "Do you want to surrender to me?"
Liu Chan was stunned, is it so direct?
Xia Houshang's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "My Lord is so kind to me that I dare not betray it."
Zhang Fei nodded and said no more.
Liu Chan pointed to three other unkempt men: "They are Shen Dan, Shen Yi, and Meng Da."
The three of them looked up hopefully, thinking about chatting with Zhang Fei, in case they could escape death...
Zhang Fei stared at him: "Humph, I've been a rat, putting the prince in danger, and I want to use your head to make a wine vat!"
The three of them shrank their necks and did not dare to say another word.
Zhang Fei looked at the prison car and then looked at Liu Chan. His eyes were full of praise and joy: "Adou's suppression of the rebellion and defeat of Cao's army this time is far better than that of my third uncle, but he is overly worried. We are all old, and we will help the Han Dynasty in the future." , it’s up to you.”
[Zhang Fei’s favorability +3] (96)
Liu Chan said with a smile: "Third uncle, please don't tell me a joke. General Ma has helped me a lot this time, but he has never said that he is old?"
Ma Chao twisted his beard and smiled in cooperation, looking at Zhang Fei proudly.
"Humph, that person is far away from here. If he were here, how could he lose to Meng Qi?" Zhang Fei said angrily, but there was no sadness and loneliness in his words.
The few of them talked for a while, but Liu Chan didn't want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Ma Chao and planned to return to Chengdu.
Zhang Fei led the army to come and had already spent a lot of money, so he returned with Liu Chan.
Liu Chan originally said he was coming for armed training, but it turned out to be a fight.
Zhang Fei wanted to lead his troops to fight, but instead it became a large-scale armed training...
It's really unpredictable.
"Oh, I almost forgot the military advisor's instructions." Before leaving, Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and quickly summoned someone, who was carrying something on his back.
"The military advisor said that this thing is a curved shaft plow. He sent it to Chief Wen together with the carpenter and ordered him to build a large number of these plows. They will be of great use!"
Liu Chan was overjoyed: "Is this Quyuanli?"
This was the first time he saw the real thing, so he quickly took it over and started playing with it, looking at it from left to right.
Although the eldest prince Liu had always been indifferent to grains in his past and present lives, he had never done any farm work for a day.
But after all, he had read a lot before, and as his talent for farming improved, he was now considered a technical talent.
Liu Chan said happily: "It's absolutely true! Choosing Hanzhong first to promote is also a clever move."
Hanzhong has fertile land but a small population, so it needs such advanced tools to save manpower and animal power.
Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this and said: "It's not just Hanzhong. A certain military advisor has been busy promoting this thing recently. Shu County, Guanghan, Qianwei, Brazil... this thing is almost spread in Yizhou."
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
You can always trust Zhuge Kongming.
"We need to return as soon as possible, so General Mengqi has to worry about this."
Ma Chao cupped his fists and said, "Prince, don't worry. I will send it to General Wei and tell the military advisor about it."
Liu Chan nodded. He had just mounted his horse and was about to go. His hearing was also good, but he heard a noise in the distance.
"What are you going to do?"
"I just want to ask for directions." A man's voice said helplessly.
"Asking for directions? Who would ask for directions from the army! You still have such a precious sword hidden, tell me quickly, who sent you to assassinate the prince!"
