Chapter 298: Brothers Are Like Brothers
As he spoke, Guan Yu had already galloped to the city gate, squinting his eyes on the moat suspension bridge, and immediately slashed his sword.
Cao Bao and the tens of thousands of Danyang troops behind him were intimidated by his momentum and did not dare to rush forward in an instant.
"Raise the drawbridge!" When the general guarding the city gate saw Guan Yu, he could be regarded as having a backbone, and he naturally believed in Guan Yu's order.
As long as the drawbridge was raised and the Danyang army was separated from the moat, they would have enough time to withdraw into the city and calmly close the city gates.
Cao Bao saw the suspension bridge slowly rising, and stared at him anxiously on the horse, and waved his big hand: "Give me a strong attack, don't let the suspension bridge rise." ”
It's a pity that at this time, his soldiers are still dozens of steps away from the drawbridge, and by the time the vanguard soldiers reach the moat, the drawbridge has risen more than a foot high, and it can't be stopped no matter what.
Cao Bao was frustrated, when suddenly "whoosh" two feather arrows flew and pulled the hemp rope of the suspension bridge in the middle.
With a "boom", the drawbridge fell down again and rested on the moat.
It was Tai Shi Ci Xu Huang who killed.
Guan Yu saw that these two people were following him like ghosts, and he couldn't help but secretly complain.
He turned his horse back to the city, and at the same time hurriedly shouted, "Close the gates!" ”
It's a pity that Tai Shici and Xu Huang have already rushed to the city, and they directly crashed open before the city gate was closed, and rushed in.
At the entrance of the city gate, Tai Shici and Xu Huang shot and axed, and defeated hundreds of defenders of the city.
However, soon the Danyang army killed it, quickly crushed this group of defenders, led by Tai Shi Ci Xu Huang, and killed into the city......
……
Liu Bei was sitting in the Assassin's Mansion to deal with business, when suddenly Guan Yu hurriedly walked in and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, the big thing is not good, the Danyang army rebelled and came in!" ”
"Damn!" Liu Bei slapped the brush in his hand on the table, and then he asked Guan Yu suspiciously: "Yun Chang didn't coerce the Danyang army to go out of the city, why did he let the Danyang army kill it back?" ”
At that time, Liu Bei was relieved to let Guan Yu and the Danyang army out of the city, that is, he was confident that Guan Yu had the ability to subdue Cao Bao, even if Cao Bao had two hearts, he was not afraid, but he never expected that he was as brave as Guan Yu, and he was beaten into such an embarrassed appearance by the Danyang army.
"It's hard to put into words," Guan Yu sighed ashamedly: "This matter must be instigated by Liu Ping behind his back, he sent Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, three generals, I am not an opponent......"
"It's Liu Ping again!"
Liu Bei gritted his teeth angrily, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, he didn't remember how many times Liu Ping had done bad to him.
But at this time, he didn't have time to get angry, because there were already shouts of killing outside.
"Quick, mobilize people and horses, and pacify the Danyang army!"
Although the Danyang army has strong combat strength, there are only more than 10,000 people after all, and there are 20,000 non-Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou City, plus 2,000 soldiers under Liu Bei, which is enough to resist the Danyang army.
It's just that those armies are all commanded by Zhang Fei, and now Zhang Fei is searching in the south of the city, so it is the same for Liu Bei to hand over to Guan Yu to command.
At this time, I saw Mi Zhu hurriedly running in, and said with a panicked expression on his face: "Lord, the big thing is not good, the Danyang army has come in!" ”
He is a sworn enemy with the Danyang faction, and he has persecuted the Danyang generals in every way, and now the Danyang army has rebelled, and when he enters the city, I am afraid that he will be the first to be beheaded.
"I know!" Liu Bei's face looked calm and composed: "The Danyang army is only more than 10,000 people, why should Zizhong panic?" ”
"Lord, you don't know yet, I was just about to throw myself into the barracks below, but the door of the camp was closed, and they didn't let me in at all, obviously they wanted to sit on the ground and watch." Mi Zhu said eagerly.
"What?" This was another heavy blow to Liu Bei, even heavier than hearing about the rebellion of the Danyang army.
The 20,000 soldiers in Xuzhou immediately closed their doors and defended themselves, obviously preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the two did not help each other.
In this way, he doesn't have many soldiers under him, what can he do to resist the Danyang army?
In fact, the composition of those 20,000 soldiers was rather mixed, and there was no strong stance to speak of.
If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, they will naturally take up arms to protect the territory and the people, but now the rebellious Danyang Army is their own people, and they are the Paoze brothers who have been on the battlefield, and it is normal for them to choose to wait and see.
After all, when the situation is uncertain, it is the best choice for them to protect themselves, they just need to sit back and wait to see who wins, and then who they are loyal to.
At this time, the shouting and killing outside the door was getting closer and closer, Liu Bei was no longer calm, his eyes were empty, and he felt overwhelmed.
It's all like there's a mastermind behind it.
Could it be Liu Ping?
"Big brother, don't hesitate any longer, the younger brother will protect the eldest brother and the two sisters-in-law first, and then talk about escaping from the place of right and wrong," Guan Yu said anxiously.
"Brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, let's find Yide and go together," Liu Bei's face was resolute.
Guan Yu was a little dazed when he heard this, and when he heard what Liu Bei meant, he actually wanted to abandon the two sisters-in-law and run for their lives alone.
Of course, more than 10,000 Danyang troops rebelled, they did not have soldiers to compete with, and the other party had generals such as Tai Shici and Xu Huang, and it was impossible to escape with his wife and family.
But you can't throw the eldest brother's two wives to Cao Jun, among them, Mrs. Gan is already pregnant, and Mrs. Mi is Mi Zhu's sister, so it's not appropriate to lose anyone.
"Big brother, Yide and I will definitely be able to fight our way out and protect ......"
"With them, none of them can escape, don't say any more, go quickly!" Liu Bei lowered his head and walked out quickly.
In the face of the chaotic army, Liu Bei is a more prominent person in this era, and it is similar to Emperor Gaozu who abandoned his children back then.
In fact, although their choice is ruthless, it cannot be miscalculated, but it is the calmest and most correct judgment made under the circumstances, but it is just emotionally unacceptable.
Guan Yu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly rushed out with Liu Bei......
Mi Zhu can only follow, he has already staked all his net worth on Liu Bei, and he can only go to the dark with Liu Bei.
……
Liu Pingshou waited anxiously for news in the Fan Mansion, and after a while, he saw Zhang Liao stumbling back, obviously injured.
After asking, I learned that things were going well, Cao Bao led the Danyang army to rebel, and Tai Shici and Xu Huang went to hunt down Guan Yu.
It's just that Zhang Liao's injury was a big accident, but fortunately, Zhang Liao's injury was not a big deal.
Thinking that the natural situation in Xuzhou City was changing at this time, Liu Ping naturally couldn't sit still here, so he led Zhang Liao Fan Xian, escorted by dozens of Fan Xian's henchmen, and secretly came to Xuzhou City.
After all, before the situation is clear, it is better to be safe.
At this time, a general suddenly came over, clasped his fists at Liu Ping, bowed and said, "The last general, Cao Bao, meet Pinggongzi."
The soldiers under the last general all obeyed the orders of the son.
Welcome to the city! ”
As he spoke, Cao Bao bowed down and made a gesture of please.
