Chapter 540 Zhang Fei angrily rebukes Fan Jiang and Zhang Da? Su Yu: Well done!
As night falls
雒城
Zhuge Liang squeezed out another 20,000 troops for Liu Bei.
It must be said that Zhuge Liang seemed to be born with the divine body of a high-ranking official.
It seems like it's all over.
But if you squeeze in, you can still get something.
In addition, there were 20,000 troops that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had brought from Jiameng Pass.
Liu Bei had also gathered more than 40,000 people in Luocheng, and his influence was growing rapidly.
However, Liu Bei was constantly worried that Cao Cao's army would advance south from Yangping Pass and launch a surprise attack on Luocheng.
Therefore, using the word "worried" to describe his current state of mind is the most appropriate.
That night, Zhang Fei couldn't sleep, so he came to the city tower to inspect the situation.
To be honest, Zhang Fei really has a lot of free time.
Normally, when he sleeps, his snoring is louder than thunder!
They can even achieve the feat of sleeping with their eyes open.
But now, he can't sleep, so he has to come to the city wall to put some pressure on the soldiers guarding the city.
When the soldiers on the city wall saw Zhang Fei arrive, they saluted him with trepidation.
Although the soldiers appeared very respectful, Zhang Fei still sensed something was off from their eyes.
Where is the city gate captain?
"Why don't you come to see me when I've arrived?"
Most of the soldiers guarding the city tonight are from Zhang Fei's command.
Therefore, Zhang Fei was not polite when he spoke.
The centurions looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were very insecure!
If Zhang Fei knew the truth, he'd probably tear down the city wall!
"Say it!"
"This general doesn't have that much free time to waste with you!"
Zhang Fei's expression gradually became agitated.
The city gate captains responsible for night watch were rotated among the centurions.
A centurion was considered a mid-level officer under Liu Bei.
At this moment, the two centurions on night watch were nowhere to be seen, which meant that something unexpected had happened.
"Plop!"
A centurion with a weak constitution immediately knelt down before Zhang Fei.
“General Zhang… General Zhang, tonight’s guards at the city gates are Colonel Fan Jiang and Colonel Zhang Da.”
"The two were drunk and are currently fast asleep."
"What?! Drunk?"
Zhang Fei flew into a rage and grabbed the centurion by the collar.
"I've already quit drinking, otherwise my older brother and second brother would have beaten me up!"
"Those two bastards, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, actually dared to drink alcohol in private?"
A surge of energy rushed to Zhang Fei's forehead.
At that moment, he was both angry and aggrieved.
What angered them was that Fan Jiang and Zhang Da had openly violated the alcohol ban.
What's frustrating is that I haven't had a drink for many days...
Where are the two thieves now?
"I'm going to tie them to trees and hang them up to whip them!"
Zhang Fei characterized Fan Jiang and Zhang Da's drinking behavior.
The centurions dared not hide anything any longer and quickly led Zhang Fei to where Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were indeed honest.
They lay in a corner of the city gate tower, side by side, fast asleep.
They didn't care at all whether the bricks of the city gate tower were uncomfortable to the touch.
"You scoundrel! Prepare to die!"
Zhang Fei kicked Fan Jiang, sending him flying several meters.
Zhang Da was the same.
The two were kicked in different directions by Zhang Fei and forced to separate.
Feeling intense pain, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da opened their eyes.
Upon seeing that it was Zhang Fei, the two men trembled with fear and could barely speak.
"Bastard!"
"Who the hell gave you two the guts to openly defy the drinking ban imposed by our elder brother?"
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da repeatedly begged for mercy:
"General, spare my life! I will never dare to do it again."
But Zhang Fei had a really bad temper.
The only ones who could control him were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and half of Zhuge Liang.
Of course, in a certain melodramatic TV series in later generations, Zhuge Liang was also furious, acting like a resentful wife, and almost ran away from home to go back to Wolonggang to live in seclusion! (Purely modified)
At this moment, faced with Fan Jiang and Zhang Da's pleas for mercy, Zhang Fei didn't hesitate and launched a flurry of punches and kicks!
Amidst cries of agony, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen, their bodies covered in blood, making them almost unrecognizable.
"Pooh!"
Zhang Fei spat heavily on Fan Jiang's face again.
Zhang Da tried to get up from the ground, but Zhang Fei kicked him down.
"General... if the fighting continues, those two will be killed!"
Several centurions, unable to bear it, mustered their courage and tried to persuade Zhang Fei.
But Zhang Fei was furious and didn't care at all.
He even slapped one of the centurions across the face!
"Why didn't you stop these two scoundrels from drinking?"
The centurions were dumbfounded.
Seriously... can't you be reasonable for once?
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da are your subordinates, but their official positions are much higher than ours!
He was a captain of the rank of centurion, and could command ten centurions.
Can a subordinate persuade their superior?
Unfortunately, Zhang Fei didn't care about that.
In his view, these centurions had also failed in their duties.
So Zhang Fei waved his hand and dragged Fan Jiang, Zhang Da, and all the centurions present to several big trees in the city, tied them up, and whipped them!
More than their own pain, Fan Jiang, Zhang Da, and the other centurions cared about their reputation.
Needless to say, his soldiers will definitely remember this dark history of being tied to a tree.
It's entirely predictable that they'll outwardly comply but inwardly disagree, or even feign compliance while secretly defying you!
Even among his colleagues, he became a laughingstock.
Don't even think about ever holding your head up again.
Zhang Fei nearly killed Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, and also beat the other centurions until they were bruised and battered, before he even considered stopping.
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da coughed up the blood that had accumulated in their chests.
Then, the two supported each other, limping along.
Unfortunately, the injuries were too severe, and he couldn't go far at all.
In the end, it was only with the help of his trusted soldiers that he was able to return to his bed to rest.
The two of them had a brush with death.
But ultimately, he was thick-skinned and didn't die outright.
The next morning.
Upon learning of Zhang Fei's actions in whipping Fan Jiang, Zhang Da, and several centurions, Liu Bei summoned Zhang Fei to his side and gave him a severe scolding.
But Zhang Fei ignored Liu Bei's warning.
He's lived like this all these years.
Although his soldiers changed batch after batch.
But no matter which generation it is, there will always be some grudges who get beaten up by him.
If you can't stand being beaten, you might as well reflect on it.
Have you been working on increasing your health and armor all these years? Why did you turn into this state after just one light hit?!
Liu Bei sighed heavily.
Fine, fine, let Zhang Fei do as he pleases.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed. On his way back to his residence, he opened the fine wine he had obtained from Fan Jiang and Zhang Da and enjoyed a delicious meal.
But what he didn't know was.
Several intelligence guards in a nearby alley had overheard everything that was happening.
Is Luocheng impregnable?
Ha, what a joke!
The message was quickly relayed back to Yangping Pass.
Ma Liang has now become Su Yu's secretary. Yes, this is a proper secretary, and also the only one working the day shift.
Others like Huang Yueying, Huang Wudie, and Wang Yi were all evening shift secretaries.
Upon learning of Zhang Fei's angry rebuke of Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, Su Yu immediately made arrangements.
Lieutenant Fan, Lieutenant Zhang, do you two want revenge?
The embrace of my Cao camp is open to the two of you!
