Zhang He tied his mount and raised the suppression in his hand, indicating that the suppressionists and armored cavalry stopped moving forward.

Both the Arc and the Elf soldier tied the mount, turned over and dismounted, stood beside the mount, broke a piece of prepared dry food, stuffed a small half into his mouth, and stuffed a large half into his mouth, and then took off the kettle on the horse's back, poured some in the human mouth and some in the horse's mouth.

Since the battle at noon yesterday, they have not taken off their armor and horses, and they have not had a good rest for a day and a half. They followed Liu Weitai, Fan Fang and others all the way, and they wanted to chase them in panic and launch a fatal blow, which will shock the defenders of M Anci City. They never thought that Liu Bei would come out on the way, pick up Liu Weitai and others, and block their way.

Zhang Fei led 8,000 infantrymen to form an array in front of them, and Liu Weitai and others lined up behind Zhang Fei, clearly trying to rob. Zhang He couldn't swallow this, and the armored cavalry and the ellipticals could not swallow this. If the prey that had been hunted for a day and a night was taken away, what kind of face would the ellipticals have to dominate the northern border?

They have defeated the elites of Xiliang Jingqi.

Seeing Zhang He stop moving forward, Yan Liang, who was following behind, rushed over. He looked at the situation in front of him and saw Zhang Fei opposite him. Zhang Fei was riding on a black horse, standing with a spear, and the snake-shaped spearhead was very eye-catching in the winter sun.

"Who is this idiot?" Yan Liang smiled. As an infantry general, he was immediately in front of the formation with a spear. He looked majestic, but in fact he was stupid. As a general, his most important responsibility was to command the army to fight, rather than charge himself, unless the battle was at the time of deciding the outcome. Even if Yan Liang himself was brave and good at fighting and had excellent martial arts skills, he would not do such a reckless thing.

"Zhang Fei, a subordinate of Liu Bei." Zhang He briefly described the last battle outside Zhuo County. He personally experienced the war in Liu Bei's attack on Tuo Yi. Although he knew the truth was not that Liu Bei defeated Tuo Yi, but that Tuo Yi took the initiative to retreat, he also saw Guan Yu's bravery and competed with Guan Yu for several matches. Since Zhang Fei was as famous as Guan Yu, he must have good martial arts.

After listening to Zhang He's introduction, Yan Liang laughed. "Yunyi, I think you are a little too cautious. This person may not deserve his name."

"How can you know it's not a trick to lure the enemy? It's better to be more cautious." Zhang He smiled and said, "Liu Bei had followed Sun Ce for several months and knew Sun Ce's method of training troops. Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's confidant. These nearly 10,000 infantry soldiers must be the elite soldiers he usually lives with day and night. If we attacked for a strong force, our losses would be greater."

Yan Liang nodded. "Ye Yi makes sense. What are you going to do?"

Zhang He looked into the distance. There was a small river behind Zhang Fei. Gongsun Zan's old subordinates who were chasing him all the way were lined up there. The terrain was very good. With Zhang Fei setting up a formation in Hexi, it would be difficult for them to launch a frontal impact. If they orbited from both sides, they would have to slow down their speed because of the frozen river. For cavalry, speed is attack power, and slowing down is equivalent to self-destruction.

Yan Liang thought for a while and understood Zhang He's concerns, and couldn't help but put aside his contempt for Zhang Fei. Judging from this situation alone, Zhang Fei was not as reckless as he seemed. This is a person with a very careful heart. "Ye Yi, I have a suggestion."

"Please speak Zishan."

"It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Since Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's right-hand man, we might as well change our target." Yan Liang raised his chin and looked at Zhang Fei opposite him. "We will work together to kill Zhang Fei and cut off Liu Bei's arm."

Zhang He thought about it and laughed. "Zishan, since Liu Bei is here, Zhao Yun beside him must have come too. Zhao Yun has more than a thousand cavalry under his command, which is also considered elite. If we join forces, Liu Bei will definitely send Zhao Yun to reinforce. In this way, there will be no one to protect Gongsun Zan's troops across the river, and the cavalry may be able to succeed in one blow. It is better to kill Liu Bei's head than to cut off Liu Bei's arm. What do you think?"

Yan Liang laughed loudly and patted Zhang He on the shoulder hard. "Junyi, no wonder all the troops in Guandu were defeated. Only you can kill Han Yin and make great contributions."

Zhang He sighed softly, and was about to speak, Zhang Fei on the opposite side shouted: "Ha, Zhang Fei from Yan is here, can you dare to fight?"

Zhang He looked back at Yan Liang. "I'll try Zhang Fei's Snake Spear first, and ask Zishan to scoop the formation for me."

Yan Liang was very satisfied and bowed. Zhang He took the initiative to fight the front and gave him the military achievements of the surprise attack. How could he not be happy? Zhang He turned over the horse, raised his halberd, called another knight, and gave a few instructions. Then he kicked the war horse and came to the front of the formation. The knight also got on the horse, quietly retreated to the back formation, and rushed to Zhuo County with a few halberd soldiers. Zhang He came to the front of the formation, and was thirty steps away from Zhang Fei, strangled his mount, and bowed his hand.

"Zhang He, I have met the general."

Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Zhang He, I recognize your halberd. Last time, he took advantage of the danger and fought with my elder brother Yun. He almost died. If he didn't go home, he would hide. Did he run to Youzhou to commit suicide?"

Zhang He was not angry either. "I heard that the general is as famous as General Guan and is also the one who is the Lord of Liu's family. The snake spear is a powerful weapon for cavalry warfare. Today, I will come to ask the general for advice." Zhang He turned around and pointed to Yan Liang who was watching the battle. "Look at General, that is Yan Liang, a famous general in Qingzhou, and he has also been famous for his long time. He came to fight against the general. I hope the general will not disappoint us."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he muttered in his heart. If it were only Zhang He, he wouldn't care. But with Yan Liang, it would be a little trouble. He naturally had heard about Yan Liang. This person had fought with Chen Dao and Taishi Ci. Chen Dao had fought with Guan Yu. Taishi Ci's martial arts were said to be comparable to Sun Ce. Yan Liang could fight with them, so he was naturally not a weak person. If he could not defeat Zhang He quickly, he would inevitably have trouble with Yan Liang.

Of course, the greater trouble is not personal safety, but when he is entangled, the infantry formation behind him may be attacked by cavalry. He took the initiative to fight to make time for Liu Bei to line up, and Zhang He also fought for the opportunity to rest for the halberds and armored cavalry. When they finished resting, they would definitely attack on their own initiative. Without his command, he had no idea whether these eight thousand infantry could block the impact of the cavalry.

But now that things have come to this point, it is impossible to retreat. Zhang Fei had to raise the snake spear, wave it backwards, and then kick the horse and start charging.

Zhang He also raised his halberd to greet him.

The sound of war drums sounded, and the two horses intertwine. Zhang He knew that the halberd in his hand was not as long as Zhang Fei's snake spear, and he was also entangled. He just waved the halberd to match the spear and the spear and halberd to each other, and a string of Mars exploded. Zhang Fei saw that Zhang He was guarding the door tightly and Yan Liang was on his side. He could not do his best and had no chance to win quickly. The battle was inevitable, so he raised the snake spear again to signal to the central army.

The sound of war drums exploded to cheer for Zhang Fei.

Yan Liang was not willing to be outdone, and also ordered the knights to beat drums, shout, and cheer for Zhang He. At the same time, he widened his eyes and watched Zhang He fight with Zhang Fei while paying attention to the movements on the other side.

On the other side of the river, Liu Bei heard the sound of war drums and the cheers of the soldiers on both sides, and couldn't help but complain secretly. He used infantry to fight the cavalry, but Zhang Fei was not in the central army's command and actually went to the front of the formation to fight with others. If there was a mistake, the eight thousand infantry would suffer heavy losses, not to mention the ten thousand old subordinates of Gongsun Zan who had just bought it and had not yet been warmed up.

Liu Bei thought about it and called Zhao Yun to come forward to take a look. Zhao Yun expressed his objection. He believed that although Zhang Fei was fighting, he was not an ignorant person. He either wanted to use his martial arts to establish his authority, or to entangle Zhang He and buy time for Liu Bei. With Zhang Fei's martial arts, Zhang He would find it difficult to hurt him and there would be no danger. On the contrary, the old subordinates of Gongsun Zan whom Liu Bei had just accepted could not escape in the face of Zhang He who was chasing Zhang He, and these infantrymen could not escape and could only fight. However, they had just changed their ownership and were unstable. Once they were attacked by cavalry, they might collapse. Even Liu Bei might be in danger of his life.

Liu Bei felt it was reasonable and hesitated for a moment. At this time, a scout came to report, and not only Zhang He was chasing him, but also a general named Yan Liang. He was watching the battle for Zhang He, and he might plan to fight on the wheel and entangle Zhang Fei. Liu Bei was anxious when he heard this and urged Zhao Yun to go and respond. Zhao Yun had no choice but to agree, but he left all the guards to Liu Bei, and he only brought two knights across the river and came to the front of the formation.

The fierce battle in front of the formation was in full swing, and the two men had changed from hedge to fighting, with two horses hovering, and spears raised at the same time. Zhang Fei's snake spear head was simply a four-foot long sword. It could not only prick, but also chop and chop, and had a length advantage, forcing Zhang He to only have defensive power and no counterattack. But Zhang He was not in a hurry. He patiently waited for the opportunity, and the halberd in his hand made it tight and compact, and he held Zhang Fei's slams again and again.

Zhang Fei secretly saw Zhao Yun coming to the formation, and was overjoyed. He broke away from the contact with a group of war horses and shouted, "Zilong, why are you here?"

Zhang He put away his halberd and looked at Zhao Yun. Seeing that there were only two cavalry beside Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Liu Bei had enough cavalry protection around him, so the chance of a successful raid was not great, especially after running around for a day and a night, and after not having a good rest, if he forced his attack, the price would be heavy.

Zhang He decided to give up, but Yan Liang was a little reluctant. He felt that although it was not small, he might not have no chance of success. If he could defeat Liu Bei in one battle, Yuan Tan would have a greater chance of conquering Youzhou. Therefore, even if the price was higher, it was worth it.

Zhang He disagreed with Yan Liang's opinion, and did not want to hurt Yan Liang's face. Just as he was thinking about how to express it, Xu You came to the front and brought Yuan Tan's order. Zhang He was the prefect of Zhuo County and Yan Liang was the prime minister of Hejian. He would negotiate with Liu Bei to divide Youzhou together.

Yan Liang was very happy to jump into the Hejian court. He took advantage of the situation and proposed his own plan, hoping to make a big move and hit Liu Bei hard.

After hearing this, Xu You glanced at Yan Liang, shook his head, and sighed. "No wonder Xianyi has been refusing to use you. You are indeed not a talent. Can you occupy Youzhou by defeating Liu Bei? We fought with Liu Bei and both sides were injured, wouldn't it be a good thing for Zhang Ze?"
