Chapter 438: The Poisonous Scholar Jia Xu? No, no, no, it’s the Poisonous Scholar Zhang Yide!
Zhang He felt like he had fallen into an icy cave; even his hands and feet were cold.

They were just lies before, but I never expected that these villains would actually run to Zhang Fei's army to verify it!

God really played a big joke on him.

My life is over!

Even when Zhang He's eyes were covered with the rag again, he had not yet recovered from this shocking incident.

By the time he came to his senses, he himself didn't even know how far he had walked up the mountain.

What made him even more panicked was that he seemed to be the only one among the Jizhou cavalry on this trip. The rest of the soldiers seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and not even a trace of their voices could be heard.

broken!

A thought that made Zhang He tremble in his heart popped up in his mind. It was well known that Liu Xuande, Guan Yu and Zhang Yide loved to kill bandit leaders the most. Could it be that he was the bandit leader that Zhang Yide wanted to kill this time?

Zhang He was in a complicated mood and looked bitter. What should he do this time? What should he do?

Do we really want to surrender to Zhang Yide?
"General Zhang, we have arrived at the agreed place."

The voice of the Black Mountain Soldier rang in Zhang He's ears, and then the rag covering his eyes was removed by the Black Mountain Soldier, allowing him to regain his sight.

The moment the rag was removed, the features of the face that came into Zhang He's eyes were so familiar to him: it was Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide.

Without waiting for Zhang He to speak, Zhang Fei quickly stepped forward and gave Zhang He a bear hug.

"Hahaha, Junyi, I was right, wasn't I? You can't wear thief Dong's clothes. Look, you've got into trouble, haven't you?"

"Come on, I'll secretly welcome you back!"

Zhang He was shocked. Why is Zhang Yide so close to me? He is as close as a brother. Oh no, there must be a trick here!
He subconsciously wanted to deny it outright, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Zhang Fei's sharp eyes swept over him, as if to say, "Zhang Junyi, don't be shameless!"

Zhang He was startled and then he remembered the ranking in "Liangzhou Popular Romance". Zhang Fei was ranked before Huang Zhong!
Huang Zhong was beaten to the point where he was in danger of losing his life, let alone Zhang Fei?
Zhang He realized that his life no longer belonged to him, but was held in the hands of Zhang Fei, so he had no choice but to follow Zhang Fei's wishes and said against his will, "Thank you for your help, General San."

"Hey, what's the trouble?"

After saying this, Zhang Fei waved his hand behind him and said, "Come out! Did you see clearly? I didn't lie to you. Am I right? Jun Yi and I have a very good personal relationship!"

Zhang He’s face turned pale. What did he see?
Zhang Fei's soldiers pushed out the Jizhou cavalrymen one by one, with complicated expressions on their faces. Some even said bluntly: "General Zhang, I may have had some doubts before, but now it seems that you are indeed General Wei's spy."

"I used to think that even if I was a spy, the general couldn't be a spy."

"Hahaha, I told you, what the general said to the Black Mountain Army in prison some time ago was true, right? If you lose the bet, remember to pay me later!"

"I don't." Zhang He tried to explain, but was grabbed by Zhang Fei by the wrist.

Zhang Fei lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Junyi, choose between a spy and a traitor. You don't want to be labeled a traitor, do you?"

Zhang He's body stiffened. The former could be considered a meritorious person, but the latter would be infamous forever.
Zhang He was not overly afraid of being infamous for eternity. It should be noted that Zhang Fei's "Liangzhou Popular Romance" could spread all over the country. If Zhang Fei spread rumors that he was a traitor, wouldn't the whole Han Dynasty be in an uproar through the mouths of novelists? Being infamous for eternity was not an exaggeration!

What a great guy Zhang Yide is!

What a cruel heart!
Zhang He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could fight Zhang Fei to the death right now.

But after a moment's thought, he loosened his clenched fist. Zhang He lowered his head dejectedly, and suddenly seemed to have aged forty years. "Zhang Yide, what on earth do you want me to do?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh and feel a little scared. He thought to himself: It's just as Wenhe said, this is to kill Zhang Junyi's heart. Zhang Junyi resisted the repeated suppression of General Huang, Dian Wei, and the three-surnamed slaves, and remained tenacious. But he still couldn't stand the heart-breaking words. I think Wenhe is a bit cruel.
"Cough cough."

Zhang Fei cleared his throat. He knew that this was not the time to think about these things. He said to Zhang He in a concise manner: "Leave this place and follow me back to the camp. We can talk about other things later."

"." Even though he was reluctant, Zhang He still squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Yes."

There were no accidents on the way back to Jinyang with Zhang Fei. As soon as he entered Zhang Fei's camp, Zhang He knew that the loss of Bingzhou was not unfair. Whether in terms of equipment, armor, swords, or horses, these elite soldiers from Chang'an were far superior to them.

He even discovered a desperate fact: the initial breakout was clearly intentional by Zhang Fei, as if he had fallen into a trap from the very beginning.

If it were before, Zhang He would definitely blame all these things on Jia Xu. But now it seems that the so-called poisonous scholar Jia Xu might not be as the rumors say.

The real poisonous scholar is probably Zhang Fei or Zhang Yide!
"Third General, you have returned victoriously?"

Just when Zhang He was feeling annoyed, he suddenly heard a voice, which was very familiar.

He looked up and saw that it was Cao Cao, Cao Mengde.
Zhang He's heart skipped a beat. You know, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were close friends and confidants. Yuan Shao was the person who knew Cao Cao best. Yuan Shao even said that Cao Cao was treacherous and narrow-minded.
During the journey, Zhang He heard about Cao Cao's plight and was so hungry that he ate tree bark.
He was the one who started it all, so this hatred is only slightly less than the hatred for killing his father, right?

According to what Yuan Shao said, wouldn't he have to face Cao Cao's revenge like a storm in the near future?

Zhang He closed his eyes in despair.

But, strangely, he did not hear Cao Cao's scolding or cursing.

What you get instead is praise?

"I think General Zhang is resolute and courageous. Even when he fell into a den of thieves, he was still thinking about how to defeat the enemy. This is really admirable."

Zhang He opened his eyes and tried to find anything wrong on Cao Cao's face. However, after staring for a long time, he could not see anything wrong with Cao Cao's expression. It was just like what Cao Cao said, the expression on his face was indeed one of admiration.

Could it be that Envoy Yuan was lying?

Zhang He said inexplicably, "Captain Cao, don't you hate me?"

Cao Cao fell into silence for a moment, then said self-deprecatingly: "Hate? If I wasn't inferior to others in skills, how could I end up in this situation? Some of the soldiers were killed, some were seriously injured."

Zhang He was horrified. Is this really the Cao Mengde that Yuan Shikai mentioned?
