Chapter 457: Liu Bei's Relegation to Xiaopei 1
Besides, Liu Bei's army and Yuan Shu's army will meet in Xuyi. Liu Bei's army is weak and dare not challenge. Ji Ling, the chief general of Yuan Shu's army, thought that his troops were more than three times that of Liu Bei, and of course he wanted to destroy Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop. But Ji Ling is a brave man with only bravery and no strategy, and he will not use tricks and rely on fierce rushing and attacking.
Although Liu Bei and Guan Yu did not know any strategy, Guan Yu's combat power was a top-notch general in the world. There were not many people who could fight against him. In this way, the two sides were really good at it. The key is that neither of them had any outstanding strategists, and they would not engage in any conspiracy. The battle between the two armies could only be traditional tactics. Head-on-head fighting, at most, some simple methods such as having children's tricks, stealing the camp, and robbing the village.
Ji Ling led his troops to Liu Bei's village and shouted and cursed: "Liu Bei village man, big-eared thief, you despicable villain, dare to send troops to invade our borders and territory; you are such a bastard who weaves mats and sells food."
When Liu Bei and Guan Yu saw Ji Ling leading their troops to challenge him, they did not show weakness, so they immediately led their troops out to greet him. After being scolded by Ji Li, Liu Bei walked out of the formation and shouted: "Ignorance and reckless man, I came to attack Yuan Shu, who did evil and harmed the unjust members of the village. You are Yuan Shu's subordinate. I think you are concealed by Yuan Shu. As long as you recognize your hypocrisy, put down your butcher knife, dismount and surrender, I will not pursue your crimes. If you dare to resist, it is rebellion, disobey the emperor's imperial edict, and the crime is not to be punished. You have thought it through clearly, otherwise there will be no regrets in the world."
When Ji Ling's deputy general Xun Zheng saw that Liu Bei was still talking nonstop, he immediately rushed out and headed straight for Liu Bei.
After seeing this, Guan Yu shouted loudly: "That ordinary man who came here dares to present him here."
After hearing this, Xun Zheng said, "Old man, what's the use of just giving a mouth? Let's see the truth of the true sword and the true life." Before Xun Zheng finished speaking, Guan Yu had already reached the horse. He raised his sword and fell. Xun Zheng was killed by Guan Yu for one round.
When Ji Ling saw Xun Zheng being killed, he immediately slapped his horse out. Ji Ling made three sharp mouths and weighed more than 50 kilograms. His bravery is pretty good in the world, and it basically reaches a quasi-first-class level, but compared with the top-notch Guan Yu, there is still a gap. They are not the same level of opponents.
Guan Yu and Ji Ling fought back and forth, fighting for more than 30 rounds without a chance of winning or losing. Guan Yu was also secretly shocked in the decisive battle. This man's kung fu is really good. He can withstand my killing of more than 30 rounds, and he is also a figure.
Ji Ling was even more shocked and blocked Guan Yu for more than 30 rounds. Although both sides had offense and defense, Ji Ling's arm was sore at this time. If he continued to fight, who would know if he could escape safely? Thinking of this, Ji Ling stabbed Guan Yu with three ultimate moves hard. Guan Yu did not dare to be too arrogant and defended with all his strength. Seeing that Guan Yu was defending, his offense was slightly weak, Ji Ling immediately patted the horse's back and retreated backward.
When Liu Bei saw Ji Ling retreating, he immediately led a large army to kill Ji Ling's central army. When Ji Ling saw that the main general was defeated, he dared to resist, so he followed Ji Ling back and fled. Liu Bei and Guan Yu led the army to chase and kill, just like cutting melons and vegetables, which was a one-sided battle. Ji Ling was a loss of troops and generals, and retreated all the way to the mouth of Huaiyin River to stabilize his position.
In the following days, both sides formed a confrontation at the mouth of the Huaiyin River, and both sides were very cautious. Guan Yu went out to challenge the camp, but Ji Ling ignored it and just used archers to deal with it. Guan Yu did not dare to use strong troops. After all, Ji Ling had more troops than Liu Bei. Ji Ling did not go to fight. At most, he sent his soldiers to steal the camp and wait for some small actions, but it would not have any effect. Guan Yu also organized some, but none of them succeeded.
Besides, Zhang Fei, after losing Xuzhou, he fled to Huainan with dozens of cavalry to find Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and all the other soldiers were finished. After seeing Liu Bei, how did Zhang Fei whip Cao Bao? How did Lu Bu and Cao Bao collude with each other and collude with each other. The entire process of attacking Xuzhou at night was introduced to Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
After hearing this, the generals were shocked, and Liu Bei sighed even more: "Xuzhou also got it by accident and had nothing to be happy about; losing it now is also destined to be destined, and we have not suffered any loss. Wuwaihu returned to his original appearance. There is nothing big deal. Just pretended to be a dream, and now he has woken up from his dream."
Guan Yu asked, "Third brother, where is the sister-in-law? You won't be careless, right?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei said in shame: "Brother, I'm sorry, as soon as I left the house, I encountered Lu Bu leading a large army to kill him. I didn't have time to save my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law probably has fallen into Lu Bu's hands, and now my life and death are uncertain."
Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei fiercely and said angrily: "Third brother, what did you say when you volunteered to defend the city? How did your elder brother tell you? How did you guarantee it? Today you will tell us that Xuzhou City is lost and my sister-in-law is trapped in the city. What should we do? Where will we settle down in the future?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei was extremely ashamed and knew that he had let down his elder brother's trust. Now he regrets the more he wants, but there is a medicine for regret in the world. The more he thinks about it, the more he regrets, the more he regrets it. In the end, he draws out his sword and wants to commit suicide, thanking Brother.
Liu Bei suddenly saw Zhang Fei pulling his sword and trying to commit suicide. He immediately held Zhang Fei's hands and snatched the sword, smashed it hard on the ground and said, "Second brother, third brother, brother is like brother, wife is like clothes. If the clothes are torn, you can be sewn; if the hands and feet are broken, can you still be taken back? The three of us have been together in Taoyuan, and we don't ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year. Although we have lost Xuzhou City and our family, how can we let the third brother commit suicide for this matter?
Moreover, Xuzhou was not mine, and now he lost it, there is nothing to regret. Although his family was trapped in the city, I think Lu Bu would not make things difficult for them. Besides, we can find a way to rescue him. When Lu Bu was desperate, I took him in and gave him a party and gave him to Xiao Pei to stay. He would never forget these things. The third brother lost Xuzhou because he was careless. It was not because he didn't do his best, so why did he commit suicide?"
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he used his ultimate skill and burst into tears, touched Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and cried. The three brothers hugged each other, cried and made a fuss.
Later, Guan Yu said, "Brother, third brother, I am still worried about my sister-in-law in the city. Lu Bu is a despicable and shameless person, and he is even a big pervert. He doesn't think about anything when he sees a woman. Once Lu Bu's husband becomes vicious, his sister-in-law will definitely commit suicide to protect his reputation."
After hearing this, Liu Bei said helplessly: "I can't help but find so many things now, let it go to fate."
However, when Yuan Shu in Shouchun learned that Lu Bu had attacked Xuzhou and occupied the city, he immediately summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures. Yang Hong said first: "Lord, our army and Liu Bei's army were in the Huaihe area, and both sides had a victory or defeat. Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu was very brave in fighting. If he wanted to eliminate or defeat Liu Bei quickly, he must use external forces to make Lu Bu send troops and come from behind Liu Bei. Then our army and Lu Bu's army can form a two-sided attack, and Liu Bei will undoubtedly be defeated."
Yuan Shu said: "You said it nicely. How could Lu Bu send troops to support our army? He wouldn't work with our army to deal with Liu Bei. In the past, he came to surrender to me when he was desperate. I was idle with his character, and he was a two-faced man who was not taken in. Now he went to ask for help from him. Do you think he would send troops? Unless he is really an idiot."
After hearing this, Yan Xiang shook his head and said, "Lord, this is not necessarily the case. Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei's Xuzhou and grabbed it. Now he has turned against Liu Bei into enemies. The grudge between them has been settled. Lu Bu will be able to retaliate against him sooner or later, and he does not want to leave Liu Bei as a disaster. Leaving Liu Bei will not do him any good. As long as we find the right person to convince him, there is still great hope. If the lord promises to give Lu Bu some food and money, it will definitely succeed."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu said, "Who is more suitable to send?"
All the officials under Yuan Shu looked at Zhang Miao. Everyone knew that the best candidate was of course Zhang Miao. He had always had a very good relationship with Lu Bu and Chen Gong. If he had taken action, he would definitely convince Lu Bu to send troops.
When Zhang Miao saw everyone looking at him, he knew that he could not hide anything, otherwise Yuan Shu would definitely be suspicious. After all, he is making a living under other people's hands, so he should help him do something. He can't just stop working every day and eat.
Zhang Miao went out to Yuan Shu and said, "General, Lu Bu and Chen Gong, I have some friendship, but I don't dare to make sure I can succeed. Lu Bu is very greedy for money. If you don't have something to tempt, you will probably be difficult to succeed."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu was overjoyed and said, "If Meng Zhuo comes out, it will definitely be a success. Meng Zhuo, don't worry, you can also promise to give Lu Bu some food, money, etc. As long as he sends troops, everything will be easy to say."
Zhang Miao obtained Yuan Shu's permission and went to Xuzhou overnight. After arriving in Xuzhou late at night, Zhang Miao did not go to see Chen Gong. He went directly to see Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu was easy to deal with, and Chen Gong was a cunning person and was not easy to convince.
When Lu Bu heard that Zhang Miao was asking for a meeting, how could he not see him? After all, the two of them were old friends. If it weren't for Zhang Miao's intake and support, he wouldn't have a place to stay, and it would be even more impossible for him to occupy Yanzhou. This was done with Zhang Miao's help.
After seeing Zhang Miao, Lu Bu said, "I haven't seen Brother Meng Zhuo for a long time. I heard that you are an official in Yuan Shu now. I wonder what's going on today?"
After hearing this, Zhang Miao looked at Lu Bu and said, "General, I am now the messenger of Yuan Highway. I came to ask the general to send troops to attack Liu Bei with our army. This will not only relieve the danger of the highway, but also eliminate the general's addiction. Of course, if the general is willing to send troops to eliminate Liu Bei, the highway will send 50,000 stones of food, 500 war horses, 10,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 silk to the general, which can be regarded as a hard work for the general."
