Northeast of the battlefield, twenty miles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tens of thousands of Han cavalry are still on the road to Zhending City, rushing wildly.

They were completely defeated in this battle, even generals like Zhang Fei and Lu Bu couldn't suppress the panic of the soldiers, and went straight for more than 30 miles before they could stop the wild running.

The returning scouts claimed that the Wei army had stopped the pursuit and set up camp on the spot, and Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Lü Bu, ordered the troops to stop advancing and wait for Zhao Yun's headquarters.

When it was dark, Zhao Yun finally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet them.

Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were surprised to find that Zhao Yun was 5,000 soldiers and horses when he left, and when he came back, he was still 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the banners were neat, and it didn't look like he had retreated in a hurry after a big battle.

"Zilong, what's the matter, didn't the pottery thief catch up with you?" Zhang Feiqi said.

Zhao Yun shook his head, "The potter had already chased after me, and when he saw me in formation to block it, he didn't launch an attack, but just invited me to the front for a while." ”

A moment before the battle?

Zhang Fei's thick eyebrows furrowed, and a little suspicion suddenly flashed in his eyes, so he asked: "What did the Tao thief Zhaozilong say a while before you were in battle?" ”

Zhao Yun opened his mouth to speak, but after remembering the "slanderous" words of the pottery merchant to Liu Bei, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to say it in public, but said lightly: "I didn't say anything." ”

"Didn't say anything? No way. Zhang Fei's face became more suspicious, and his expression became solemn, "Since the pottery thief invited you to the front for a while, how could he not say anything, is it just a matter of chatting about family life, Zilong, are you deliberately hiding something?" ”

Zhao Yun's expression changed, obviously not expecting that Zhang Fei would be suspicious of him.

In desperation, Zhao Yun had no choice but to say truthfully: "The potter really didn't say anything, he just wanted to recruit me, and I categorically refused." ”

Although he said it truthfully, he was concerned about Liu Bei's reputation, but he did not say the words of the pottery merchant "slandering" Liu Bei for colluding with the Hu people.

When Zhang Fei heard the word "surrender", his body moved, which immediately touched his sensitive nerves, and his gaze staring at Zhao Yun added a little suspicion.

Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Fei's eyes were different, and he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, so he said with a straight face: "General Yide, don't you doubt my loyalty to the big man, if I am really moved by that pottery thief, will I still bring these five thousand soldiers and horses back to meet you now?" ”

Zhao Yun's frank words immediately stopped Zhang Fei, and temporarily suppressed the suspicion in his heart.

Zhang Fei thought about it and felt reasonable, so he said: "Zilong is loyal to the Son of Heaven, of course I know, but I'm very strange, at that time, such a good opportunity, why didn't you take the opportunity to take the life of the pottery thief?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's eyebrows showed a trace of disdain, and he said calmly: "I, Zhao Zilong, am an upright man, I met before the battle, but I suddenly performed such a thing as a killer, and I Zhao Yun can't do it." ”

Zhang Fei was refuted by Zhao Yun's disdain, and immediately ate a mouthful of turtles, and when he looked around, he felt an urge to be annoyed and angry.

"Zilong is also reasonable, if he does this, it will damage the national prestige of our Han, we will kill the pottery thief sooner or later, and we are not in a hurry." At this time, Lu Bu stood up and said a fair word for Zhao Yun.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, shook his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, what you all said makes sense, let's see how you go back and explain to Your Majesty." ”

After that, Zhang Fei flicked his horse and rode away like a rage.

Lu Bu also glanced at Zhao Yun and rode away.

The meaning of the two of them was obviously that this defeat was related to Zhao Yunxian's order to withdraw his troops at that time.

Zhao Yun was calm and calm, without any guilt, and turned his horse to follow.

The 20,000 defeated soldiers drove dozens of miles in a row night and night, and finally rushed back to the Zhending camp before dawn.

At this moment, Liu Bei had already gotten up early in the morning and summoned Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi to come to the imperial tent to discuss matters.

"At this time, I don't know how the battle situation is in Yide?" Liu Bei stared at the map, his eyes revealing a little concern.

After all, Zhang Fei and the others were not going to Dai to attack this time, but the nearly 100,000 troops personally led by the Emperor Pottery Merchant of the Great Wei.

Liu Bei can hate the potter, he can scold the potter, but he never dares to underestimate the potter's ability to use troops, which is the reason why he has concerns.

"This battle, it is the strongest three generals of my Han Dynasty to join forces, even if they can't succeed, at least they can retreat with their whole body, as long as they can slightly delay the advance speed of the Wei army, it is enough." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with relief, with a strategizing indifference.

Liu Bei relieved his heart, nodded and said: "Lu Fengxian's martial arts are already martial saints, and the martial arts of Yide and Zilong have also reached half-step martial saints, and the three of them join forces, it can be said that no one in the world can be defeated, not to mention that they are riding with 30,000 fine horses to intercept the exhausted Wei army, there should be nothing to ask ......."

Before the words fell, the Imperial Forest Sergeant outside the tent hurriedly reconciled, and shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty, Yide and they have returned from defeat, and they are asking to see them outside the tent." ”

Defeated!

Liu Bei's body shook suddenly, and a cold sweat broke out in an instant, and his expression and eyes, as if his ears had heard it wrong, were anxious to glare at Zhuge Liang.

The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand was no longer shaken, and his elegant and indifferent face was calm and calm, and the color of surprise was dense.

"Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, it seems that you still underestimate the pottery thief......" Sima Yi shook his head and sighed beside him, as if he had expected the current result.

Zhuge Liang frowned, and questioned: "30,000 iron horsemen, come and go like the wind, even if you find that the situation is not good, you can withdraw the troops in time, at most it will be in vain, how can you return defeated, this doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense......"

"The defeat has already been defeated, what's the use of not making sense, let's call them in and ask first." There was a hint of sarcasm in Sima Yi's tone.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi and knew that he was targeting himself, but he was not good at attacking.

"Quick, pass the three of them in!" Liu Bei couldn't wait to shout in a deep voice.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the three defeated generals walked into the big tent gloomily, and pleaded guilty to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suppressed his anger first, and with a blushing face, he asked him how the three of them would be defeated.

Therefore, Zhang Fei explained how they suddenly controlled the enemy, and first gained an advantage, and had the opportunity to join forces to kill the pottery merchant in one fell swoop, but he didn't want to be blocked by Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, two Wei generals, who joined forces to block it, which was a bad thing.

Then he collapsed the Wei army with all his might, but for some reason, suddenly, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, burst out with amazing energy, reversed the disadvantage in one fell swoop, and turned defeat into victory.

Zhang Fei detailed and tired the process of their defeat, did not dare to leak a word, and said it all, of course, he did not forget to tell Zhao Yun the first order to withdraw the troops, and the meeting with the pottery merchant in front of the formation, and also truthfully said.

Liu Bei was surprised, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were also surprised, and their expressions were full of unbelievable meaning, as if Zhang Fei was making up a story, which made them unable to believe it.

"Yide, you and Zilong are the martial arts of a half-step martial saint, and Fengxian is even more brave as a martial saint, do you mean, the three of you joined forces, but you were blocked by two Wei generals whose martial arts were not good for you?" Zhuge Liang's tone and expression almost directly confessed that he was questioning Zhang Fei for lying.

Zhang Fei saw that Zhuge Liang didn't believe it, so he was anxious and shouted: "Didn't I say it very clearly just now, do you have to say it again." ”

Zhao Yun sighed lightly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge and General Yide are all telling the truth, the martial arts of those two Wei generals are indeed far inferior to the three of us, but their defensive power is extremely strong, and the cooperation between the two is even more seamless, not leaking, Yun is really surprised, there are such people in this world who attack the weak and defend the strong." ”

Zhao Yun has always been sincere and steady, and he will not speak like Zhang Fei, sometimes he will be light and heavy, he has said so, and now whether it is Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, there is no way to ask questions.

"I haven't fought directly for many years, but I didn't expect that the pottery thief's command would envelop such strange people again......" Zhuge Liang muttered.

Liu Bei blushed again, and said in a deep voice: "Even if there are strange people and strange people under the command of the pottery thief to help, but you say that when the Wei army collapsed, it suddenly regained its vigorous strength, what is going on?" ”

"This ...... This minister really didn't understand what kind of means the pottery thief used to miraculously stimulate the potential of the Wei army. This time it was Zhao Yun's turn, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Liu Bei clenched his fists, his gray face burned with anger, he was silent, and suddenly remembered what Zhang Fei said, Zhao Yun and the potter's meeting alone, his eyebrows couldn't help but look suspicious, and he opened his mouth to ask.

"Father, good news, another letter has been sent from Zhending City."

At this time, an excited voice interrupted Liu Bei's suspicions, and a military general with a fat body and a meaty face broke into the big tent in a hurry.

Hearing the word "send a letter", in the big tent, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang raised their heads at the same time, and a trace of surprise suddenly burst out in their gloomy eyes.

"Shan'er, quickly present the letter." Liu Bei couldn't wait to beckon.

The fat military general's name is An Lushan, who has half the blood of the Wuhuan people, and can be regarded as a noble son of Wuhuan.

After Liu Bei surrendered Wuhuan, he originally wanted to win over the Wuhuan people, but it happened that in recent years, this An Lushan has performed extremely well, and Liu Bei recognized him as his righteous son.

Although An Lushan is not the prince of Liu Bei, but after having the identity of the son of heaven, his status has risen with the rubbish, and now he is the official general of Anton.

And Liu Bei's move also won the heart of the Wuhuan people, these years Liu Bei went to the east and the west, and the Wuhuan cavalry can be said to be for him to go to the soup and fire, forgetting life and death, and made great efforts.

"Father, please take a look." An Lushan trembled with fat flesh, stepped forward, and respectfully presented the secret letter with his fat hands.

Liu Bei snatched the secret letter, couldn't wait to open it, and just glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, has he decided to launch it?" Zhuge Liang saw the clue and asked with a smile.

Liu Bei closed the letter and did not show it to everyone, but sneered: "Although the three of Yide were defeated, they finally did not sacrifice more than 10,000 soldiers in vain, delaying the pottery thief for a day, even if he won a game, he couldn't change the overall situation after all." ”

Although Liu Bei did not say it explicitly, the meaning of this statement was very clear, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Zhuge Liang's question just now.

In the big tent, the originally gloomy atmosphere suddenly boiled, and the haze of failure was swept away in an instant.

Zhuge Liang's face also resurfaced that confident smile, the feather fan also shook, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed the destiny of heaven, and there are nobles to help you at the critical moment, and the minister is here to congratulate Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, also jumped up from the ground and shouted excitedly: "Big brother...... Oh no, of course Your Majesty is the destiny of heaven, the potter is a bird, I think his good luck is coming to an end, the Wei State is falling, the Han Dynasty is just around the corner, Your Majesty must be the first emperor of the ages who has no ancients before and no one who has come after. ”

Listening to the compliments of his subordinates, the smile on Liu Bei's face became more and more gloomy and confident.

(The third shift is delivered, and there are two more shifts in the evening)
