Chapter 813: The Battle of Grains
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were a little flustered when they saw the pottery merchant treating the two of them like this.
These two people have followed Lu Bu for a long time, although in terms of ability, the strength of the two of them is among the best among the generals under Lu Bu, but because of Lu Bu's personal reasons, the most important in the Bingzhou army is Song Xian or his brother-in-law Wei Xu and others, and they don't attach so much importance to these two real strong generals.
On the contrary, the degree of utilization is higher.
Of course, the potter's attitude towards the two of them today, in terms of actual conditions, is also highly utilized, but his performance of Corporal Lixian made the two feel very comfortable.
Even if it's used? Prime Minister Tao has done enough to save face! The use is willing, too.
To a certain extent, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun do not belong to the kind of people who are strong in utilitarianism, and people who are not strong in utilitarianism generally only value other things.
That's how much it's valued.
Obviously, the potters have given Zhang Liao and Gao Shun enough attention now.
Gao Shun first saluted the potter and said: "I will return to the prime minister with Wen Hou, from now on, we will be the generals under the command of the prime minister, and it is natural for the prime minister to use the two of us, there is no need to do this, although the order can be given." ”
When Gao Shun said this, his tone was neither salty nor light, cold, and people couldn't hear joy, anger and sorrow.
It's a matter of his own personality, and while his words may sound perfunctory, those who know him well know his personality.
Gao Shun can say such a thing, which is enough to show that he completely accepts the potter.
Zhang Liao was even more direct, he said to Tao Shang: "Prime Minister doesn't have to be like this, since it is useful to the two of us, then we are naturally duty-bound, and the two of us will go to order troops, and we will set off immediately." ”
The potter nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "There are two generals." ”
The two then took the order and left.
Seeing that the potter's words made Zhang Liao and Gao Shun so obedient, Lu Bu smashed his mouth a little sourly, and sighed: "Alas, time has passed, and the new man is better than the old man." ”
The potter turned his head to look at Lu Bu and said, "Father-in-law, the word is not appropriate, what new person is better than the old one?" That's what describes men and women. ”
Lu Bu muttered, "It's almost the same anyway...... These two white-eyed wolves. ”
The potter raised his eyebrows, turned his head and instructed Zhuge Liang: "My father-in-law's weight loss effect has been stagnant in the past few days, you tell the man, tomorrow's rations will be reduced for him, so that he can't control his mouth." ”
When Lu Bu heard the personal vendetta of the pottery merchant's communion, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Virtuous son-in-law, don't treat a certain person like this!"
But as if he hadn't heard Lu Bu's words, the potter beckoned Pei Qian and asked him to count the Tiger Guards and go with him to prepare for the expedition.
As for Lu Bu, he was left in place by the potter.
The potter still has two brushes in the aspect of picking up the old man...... Wang Yun is a lesson from the past.
Looking at the back of the potter's departure, Lu Bu's face showed a trace of sadness.
"This son-in-law is really a bit of a cheating father-in-law." Lu Bu said helplessly to himself.
Zhuge Liang walked to Lu Bu's side, shook the feather fan, and said: "Wenhou, don't blame the juniors for talking too much, the words you said are really a little unpleasant, no wonder the teacher is angry with you...... Although they are both sons-in-law, you still have to be more sincere to the teacher. ”
Lu Bu couldn't hold back any longer, he stepped to Zhuge Liang's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhuge Liang's placket, and said angrily: "What you said is light, Ben will not give you food, you give Ben a sincere look in the future!" ”
……
Tao Shang led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Tiger Guards, Trap Camp and other elite troops, and went straight to the direction of Qigu.
And on Qi Gu's side, there was really a commotion right now.
Needless to say, the person who attacked Qi Gu's grain and grass was Liu Bei, who ordered the elite soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and came to sneak attack.
In Qi Valley, although there were Li Tong and Zhao Yun's follow-up soldiers and horses to guard it, Liu Bei had already prepared for this matter.
With this battle, you can know that Liu Bei's mind can be described as extremely meticulous.
In order to fight against the pottery merchants, after pacifying Jingnan last year, he advised Liu Biao to secretly start making pottery army's clothes and armor in large quantities in Jingzhou for future use.
And today's sneak attack, these imitation pottery merchant army armor played a useful role.
Liu Bei and the elite of Jingzhou led by him dressed up as Tao's reinforcements and marched towards the location passed by Cao Cao's Eagle Snake Soldiers.
And the banner he played was the banner of Huang Zhong, the former warlord of Jingzhou.
Liu Bei's thinking was very thorough, before tonight's battle, he found Wei Yan, who had cooperated with Huang Zhong, and learned in detail about all Huang Zhong's marching formations and troop habits, and used his marching methods in this sneak attack army, trying to make his own soldiers and horses disguised the same as Huang Zhong.
With such careful preparations, Li Tong and Zhao Yun, who had just arrived, were caught off guard, and they really fell for his trick.
After Liu Bei's army approached Qi Gu's granary, he immediately launched an attack.
When Zhao Yun and Li Tong saw this, they knew that they had won the plan.
They immediately organized soldiers and horses to start a counterattack, and held on to the spot, and launched an offensive and defensive battle with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei entangled many elites under Liu Biao this time, and seconded Wei Yan and Wen Ping, two generals, plus Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi and other generals, just to complete their efforts in one battle, to completely burn the grain and grass of the potters.
Liu Bei and his elite men rushed into the granary, without saying a word, the first thing was to set fire to it with great fanfare, burning the entire camp everywhere.
He seemed to have made up his mind, and he wanted to take advantage of the strong wind tonight to completely turn the potter's grain and grass in Qigu into ashes.
However, although Liu Bei's calculations were ingenious, in the face of strong generals like Zhao Yun and Li Tong, his plan was not satisfactory.
After Zhao Yun discovered that something was wrong, he immediately organized the Jinling White Horse Army and launched an effective counterattack against the Jingzhou army.
The Jinling White Horse Army was extremely powerful, and with their exquisite skills and brave and resolute style, they quickly rushed away from the front of the Jingzhou Army and rushed towards Liu Bei's location.
But just after the Jinling White Horse Army broke through the front of the Jingzhou Army, after the shield soldiers of the Chinese army dodged a passage, they saw a group of bow and crossbow troops appear in the rear of Liu Bei's army.
These people aimed the crossbow in their hands at the Jinling White Horse Army, and then listened to "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The front row of the Jinling White Horse Army was swept down!
"Jinling repeater?" Zhao Yun, who was not far away, was shocked.
Looking at the other party's repeating crossbows, although it is not ten consecutive shots, but it really has several consecutive shots, it is indeed a repeating crossbow!
But the Jinling crossbow is a divine weapon exclusively developed by the potters and Zhuge Liang, and it is the most top-secret weapon in the Jinling army.
"Zhao Zilong, eat me with a spear!"
A sound like a loud thunder exploded in my ears, and I couldn't stop hearing it.
Zhao Yun hurriedly turned his head, only to see a huge snake spear slashing from the oblique thorn.
The snake spear was originally a weapon of stabbing, hooking, picking, and poking, but the spear in front of Zhao Yun attacked him with the method of chopping.
In the whole world, Zhao Yun only knows one person who uses a snake spear like this.
"Zhang Fei!"
