"Luck, luck, this pottery thief's luck, why is it always so good, why!?" Liu Bei's fist slapped indignantly on the case. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

He couldn't help but recall that scene back then.

Once upon a time, during the Battle of Guandu, the pottery merchant led the army to attack Yuan Shao's grain camp, and he Liu Bei was ordered to go to the rescue.

Just when he rushed to the grain camp, thinking that he could destroy the potter from behind, suddenly an earthquake occurred, and a trench cracked in the earth, saving the potter's life.

He remembered that when he rode south the iron horse before, it was at the critical moment of the decisive battle, the earthquake happened again, and another deep ditch cracked out of the ground, cutting him and his 10,000 soldiers and horses off from the main force.

In that battle, he ended in a crushing defeat with 10,000 soldiers, and even he himself was shot and wounded by the potter, and almost lost his life.

And this time, although there was no earthquake, the heavens used an inexplicable gale to help the potter defeat the Xianbei Iron Rider in a thrilling way!

Liu Bei was very confused and indignant, why was God so unfair, so kind to the potter, every time at a critical moment, he could use the benefits of time to help the brutal traitor turn the corner.

Liu Bei was indignant, and the rest of the Han ministers in the big tent were also indignant, scolding the heavens for being unfair, and even repeatedly helping the potter, the big devil who harmed the world.

"Your Majesty, now that the pottery thief has defeated Xianbei and the situation has fallen to the Wei State, the minister thinks that it is the best policy for us to withdraw our troops immediately." At this time, Frustrated Professor, who had been suppressed before, once again stood up to persuade the army to retreat.

Liu Bei was silent.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were also silent at this time, and they were speechless for a while.

There is no way, who let the potter slap the two of them in the face, in this situation, there seems to be no other good way except to retreat.

After all, after the pottery merchants destroyed the Qin State and defeated the Xianbei people, they could gather nearly 300,000 troops to relieve the siege of Zhending.

Although Liu Bei has a lot of cavalry, but the number of soldiers and horses is only 150,000 after all, if he has captured Zhending City, he has absolute confidence that he can fight with the pottery merchants, but now under the old city, morale and fighting spirit are frustrated, he does not have such strong self-confidence.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today, it seems that the only way to retreat is the best choice." Another person in front of the tent persuaded him to retreat.

Liu Bei looked up and recognized that the person who spoke was Zhao Yun.

Among the ministers of the Han State, Zhao Yun is the most indisputable with the world, always just loyal to the execution of orders, rarely express opinions, and now even he stands up to approve the withdrawal of troops, it can be seen that the situation has reached this point, and there is indeed no better choice.

"Alas......" Liu Bei let out a light sigh, indicating that he had "changed his mind" and was ready to order the retreat.

At this moment, a royal forest sergeant outside the tent hurriedly entered and presented a secret letter to Liu Bei.

Liu Beizheng was bored, reluctantly opened the secret letter, only glanced at it a few times, but suddenly sat up straight, and his originally gray eyes burst out with endless excitement.

"Haha, God help me, God really bless my big man, haha-"

Suddenly, Liu Bei laughed again, laughing proudly, laughing happily, as if a windfall had fallen from heaven, which made him extremely excited.

The ministers of the Han Kingdom, whether it was Zhuge Liang or Zhao Yun, all looked dazed and surprised, and they didn't know why Liu Bei suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had bumped into some great joy.

"Your Majesty, is there a turning point in that secret letter?" Zhuge Liang first focused his attention on the secret letter.

Liu Bei then showed the density to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang looked at it, his eyes were also shining, and he was surprised, "If what is said in this letter is feasible, this is equivalent to a good opportunity given by God to our Han, we can take the real decision, and we don't need to retreat north." ”

Zhang Fei and the others were suddenly excited, and he shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, what did that letter say, what a God-given opportunity, tell us quickly." ”

Zhuge Liang put away the letter, with a mysterious face, shook the feather fan and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, this matter should not be known to too many people, and after the capture of Zhending later, it will naturally be known." ”

"The prime minister is reasonable, let's not show them this letter first." Liu Bei also nodded.

Zhang Fei was anxious, but there was a way, and the rest of the ministers were also curious, but no one could tell the secret of the letter.

In Sima Yi's gaze, there was a trace of imperceptible jealousy, obviously Liu Bei let Zhuge Liang know the content of the letter, but did not let him read it, which showed that Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang even more.

However, he was cunning and deceitful, staring at the letter and his thoughts were flying, he suddenly guessed seven or eight points, and a playful smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

He arched his hand and said: "It seems that Your Majesty is in the end of the destiny of heaven, and at the critical moment, with the protection of God, he has obtained this heaven-sent opportunity to win the true determination, but the minister is still a little worried." ”

"What is Zhongda worried about?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Sima Yi raised his hand and pointed to the west, "At present, the army of pottery thieves has passed Taihang and is rushing here at full speed, and the more than 200,000 Wei troops in the south must also be converging on Zhending, and the minister is worried that we will not have enough time to wait until that time." ”

Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and a little worry resurfaced on his originally excited face.

Zhuge Liang's eyes moved, shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the pottery thief is now hurrying to save Zhending, and he also gave us a chance, the minister thought that His Majesty immediately sent a few generals to command tens of thousands of iron horsemen, ambush on the road where the pottery thief came, intercept the pottery thief, it is naturally the best to break the pottery thief, even if it can't, it can also delay the pottery thief's marching speed." ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again, his eyes fell on the generals in front of the tent, ready to nod.

Before he could speak, Zhang Fei was the first to jump out and said angrily: "When the pottery thief injured His Majesty with an arrow, the enemy of this arrow is always in my heart, please let my Majesty let me Zhang Fei lead the army to clean up the pottery thief." ”

Zhang Fei's voice fell, and Lu Bu also stood up, and said hatefully: "The pottery thief killed my father-in-law Yuan Shao, and the minister has a blood feud with him, please ask Your Majesty's quasi-minister to kill the pottery thief." ”

Immediately afterwards, the veteran Huang Zhong also came out of the class, and said angrily: "The pottery thief scourges Jing Chu, so that the life of the minister's hometown is miserable, and the minister and the pottery thief have a common enmity, please lead the army to fight and kill the pottery thief." ”

"The pottery thief is cruel and unkind, destroying my homeland in Jiangdong, please punish this thief for Your Majesty." Tai Shici also went out of class to ask for battle.

Yan Liangwen and Chou, the two Hebei generals, saw the situation and also came out together, all of them with the anger of revenge, and they asked for battle.

In the end, Zhao Yuncai slowly got out of class, arched his hand, and said lightly: "Since Your Majesty has a good strategy to break the city, whether you can block the reinforcements of the Wei army is indeed the top priority, and the minister Zhao Yun is willing to worry about the heavy task." ”

In the big tent, all the generals of the Han Kingdom rose up to fight, except for Zhao Yun, all of them were full of anger and had a deep hatred with the potters.

Looking at the generals who were eager for revenge and generously begged for battle, Liu Bei was very pleased, but he was a little dazzled for a while, and he didn't know who to send to fight.

"Prime Minister, who do you think should be sent to intercept the pottery thief this time?" Liu Bei had no choice but to ask Zhuge Liang for advice.

Zhuge Liang slowly swept the generals, and said unhurriedly: "At present, the siege is really the focus, naturally you can't send all the generals out, and the good generals under the command of the pottery thief are like clouds, and this interception of the pottery thief will inevitably have some risks. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei thought so, and his eyes immediately fell on Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

With a wave of his big hand, Liu Bei said sharply: "Lu Fengxian, Zhang Yide, where is Zhao Zilong." ”

"The minister is here." The three generals spoke in unison.

Liu Bei pointed to the west and shouted proudly: "I order the three of you to unify the ten thousand elite cavalry and go west of Zhending to intercept the reinforcements of the pottery thief." ”

"Obey orders!"

The three generals were ordered, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were excited with the fire of revenge, but Zhao Yun was calm, and the three generals took the order.

Liu Bei personally got up, sent most of the three out of the big tent, and watched them ride away.

Then, Liu Bei's eyes looked at Zhending City in the north, his eyes revealed a trace of coldness, and he muttered a sneer: "Tian Dan, I see how many days you can be arrogant......

……

Forty miles east of Jingjing Pass.

The battle flag covered the sky, the dust covered the sun, and the 100,000 Great Wei Infantry Cavalry Army rushed all the way to the direction of Zhending on the Great Plain of Hebei.

Behind him, the towering Taihang Mountains were thrown farther and farther away, and the Hebei Plain in front of him was boundless.

It was noon, the "Wei" character imperial flag was hunting and flying in the wind, leading the 50,000 former army to ride on foot, and the speed did not stop.

"I didn't expect that Tiandan's lieutenant was that person, I hope I can arrive in time......" The potter who was galloping on his horse looked a little solemn and muttered to himself.

The potter's performance like this, Li Bai saw it in his eyes, and his heart became more and more suspicious.

He remembered that just a day ago, the Son of Heaven still trusted Tian Dan a hundred times, believing that even if reinforcements did not arrive, he would be able to hold on for at least four months, so he did not rush to the road, but stopped while walking, so that the soldiers could maintain their vigorous energy as much as possible.

However, after the Son of Heaven saw the list of officers above the rank of lieutenant and above in Zhending City presented by Zhang Yi, his spirit suddenly became vigilant, and he ordered the whole army to march quickly that night, and it was necessary to rush to Zhending City as quickly as possible.

"Why did the Son of Heaven suddenly become worried, what secrets were hidden in that list, which made the Son of Heaven jealous......" Li Bai secretly guessed, but unfortunately he couldn't guess the mind of the Son of Heaven if he wanted to break his scalp.

In desperation, Li Bai had no choice but to laugh at himself: "The Sacred Heart of the Son of Heaven is unfathomable, how can I easily guess it, oops, I have a terrible headache, if I don't guess, it's better to drink." ”

While muttering to himself, Li Bai untied the wine gourd on his waist and poured a large sip of grape wine.

"Kill the pottery thiefβ€”"

"Kill the pottery thiefβ€”"

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound in his ears, like a thunderclap, which burst his eardrums and startled Li Bai, and the wine he had just poured into his mouth squirted out.

Li Bai, who was choked, was anxious to wipe the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and looked ahead, only to see that in the direction of the front, the dust rose to the sky, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen were like a red frenzy, overwhelmingly killing their own army.

A big banner with the word "Lu" flies proudly in front.

It's Lu Bu!

Lu Bu led the Han army's iron cavalry, and suddenly killed from the front.

Woo woo woo -

Immediately after, the sound of a murderous horn rose from both wings and pierced the eardrums.

Li Bai was anxious to sweep left and right, but saw that the wild dust in the direction of the two wings was also swept in, and two surging iron horses, under the guidance of the battle flags of the words "Zhao" and "Zhang", came from the two volleys.

Zhang Fei!

Zhao Yun!

The iron cavalry of the three-way Han army, under the leadership of the three Han generals, suddenly came out from three sides and slaughtered the Wei army in a surging manner.

Li Bai changed color, and the Wei soldiers also changed color, obviously eager to march, they were already exhausted, but they did not expect that the Han army would take the initiative to send iron cavalry to set up an ambush and intercept on the way to Zhending.

Facing the enemy cavalry coming from three directions, the potter's expression only moved slightly, and then a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "Liu Bei, I haven't seen you for so long, and I can't wait to give me a surprise before we meet......

After sneering, the sword in the potter's hand was horizontal, and the spirit of the fearless emperor was burning like fire, and he shouted: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the soldiers of the Great Wei, I and you will fight side by side in a bloody battle, and give the enemy a head-on blow!" ”
