Chapter 43: Liu Bei is injured
After Liu Ziping completed the indicators of recruiting troops that day, he found an opportunity to recommend to Meng Yi that Liu Bei was brave and resourceful when he fought the Yellow Turban Thieves, and he was a rare talent, and explained Liu Bei's situation at this time. On the one hand, Meng Yi urgently needed soldiers and horses, on the other hand, he was also deeply sympathetic to Liu Bei's situation, so he went to the court and asked to lead Liu Bei to fight against the traitors in Youzhou.
When Liu Bei and his entourage learned the news, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, at least they didn't have to worry about it every day and ran around. This time, thanks to Jian Yong's help, everyone got out of a desperate situation, Liu Bei hugged Jian Yong, and said movingly: "Xianhe, I really want to thank you this time, if it weren't for you, I Liu Bei wouldn't know what to do." ”
Jian Yong patted Liu Bei's back and said with a smile: "Xuande, you are also polite, we are all old friends for so many years, it is natural to do this, I think we should meet General Meng Yi as soon as possible." ”
"Hehe, I Zhang Fei can kill the enemy again, happy! Ha ha...... Big brother, let's get on the horse! Zhang Fei excitedly picked up the snake spear and stepped onto his mount with ease.
"Haha...... Big brother, Xianhe is right, let's go as soon as possible! Guan Yu couldn't suppress his mood after speaking, took the long knife, and galloped forward.
"Second brother, you wait for me! Driving~" Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu rushing to the front, and hurriedly followed.
"Haha, second brother and third brother, don't be too fast, be careful when riding!" At this time, Liu Bei turned to Jian Yong and said gratefully: "Xianhe, let's go too." ”
"Alright, let's get on the horse!" After saying that, the two got on their horses and ran forward.
After arriving in the plains, under the recommendation of Liu Ziping, Liu Bei Chengdi visited General Meng Yi, in view of Liu Bei's experience in combat, Meng Yi let Liu Bei serve as the commander of the army, although the position was a little humble, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also expressed dissatisfaction in private, but after all, the opportunity is rare, and he is still guilty, so he gladly accepted.
Zhonglang gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou and led Liu Bei to Youzhou to prepare to join Gongsun Zhan. At that time, the thief army captured the right Beiping County, Liaoxi County vassal country, Gongsun Chan fought bravely, led 3,000 cavalry to retreat them to Liaodong County vassal country, now the two armies are deadlocked in the Shimen land of Liaodong vassal country, Gongsun Chan did not dare to take the initiative to attack because of the weak strength, and the thief army was afraid of Gongsun Chan's brave and good fighting, stuck to the city, and avoided the battle.
Zhang Chun and other thieves originally had 9,000 soldiers and horses, and Gongsun Zhan lost 4,000 in the battle, and now there are only 5,000 disabled and tired soldiers in the city, after Meng Yi learned the information of the scouts, the more he thought about it at this time, the more relaxed he became, and said to Liu Bei with a smile: "Xuande, in this battle, the victory and defeat have been divided, our army is all cutting-edge divisions, plus the elite cavalry of Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, it will definitely be decided in a battle, and I will take the credit this time, haha......"
Liu Bei saw that Meng Yi had not yet fought so lightly against the enemy, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, compared with the five thousand soldiers and horses behind him, although he did not suffer any damage, but after all, these were all soldiers and horses who had just been recruited, they had never been on the battlefield at all, and it was not known how effective the combat effectiveness was, and now Meng Yi had never fought with the enemy once, and he did not know the enemy's combat style, and the battlefield was Youzhou, and Meng Yi did not know the geographical situation of Youzhou, at this time he made a conclusion so easily, didn't he know the truth that the arrogant army would be defeated? But he is a guilty body, and this kind of disobedience is not what he should say, so he casually dealt with it: "General Shenwu, he will definitely win a big victory." ”
"Haha...... Xuande has said it, by the way, Xuande, you are from Youzhou, where have we been? Meng Yi turned his head and asked.
Liu Bei looked around and said: "General Qiyu, we have just passed Liaoxi County, and now it is in Liaodong County, and not far ahead is General Gongsun's camp, and after we and General Gongsun converge, we will be able to pacify the thief army in one fell swoop." ”
Meng Yi paused, suddenly waved his hand, and said: "No need, General Gongsun has already fought many times, and now he is tired, don't bother him anymore, we will directly attack the thief army." ”
"Huh?" Liu Bei was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
"Ahh Meng Yi was full of confidence and questioned Liu Bei.
"No, no, no, I don't have that meaning in Xia, I just think it's better to play steadily." Liu Bei saw that Meng Yi had no sense of the overall situation in order to seize the credit, and was worried that he would be blind and arrogant in his desire for merit, so he made a bold suggestion.
"Are you suspicious of General Ben, Liu Bei, don't forget, you are still a criminal, if it weren't for General Ben's sympathy for you, you would still be in prison!"
"The general is right, I hope the general will forgive his sins, Liu Bei is only shallow in learning, and he has no eyes." Under the eaves, he had to bow his head, Liu Bei had no choice, so he took the initiative to slow down and walked away with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind, Meng Yi saw him like this, so he felt that he was cowardly, and ignored it, but secretly scolded Liu Ziping for having no eyesight and finding such a thing to make trouble for himself.
"Big brother, why did you come to the back?" Zhang Fei was chatting with the soldiers just now, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he asked.
"The general is not ready to join Gongsun Zhan, he is going to attack the rebels alone!" Liu Bei said in a low voice.
"What, this...... The ambition is not small, and I want to grab the credit! Guan Yu whispered contemptuously.
"Second brother and third brother, I always have an ominous feeling today, you all be careful!" Liu Bei instructed.
"Got it, big brother, don't worry!"
"Kill! Kill! ”
Not long after the army left, a large number of shouts of killing suddenly came from all around.
Just as Meng Yi led his troops through the bushes, he suddenly killed countless thieves from both sides, and Liu was shocked and said: "It's not good, it's an ambush." At this time, many Han soldiers were shouted by the sudden thief army to turn over on their backs, and a large number of people were cut down to the ground by the thief army before they could react, the neighing of the war horses, the sound of fighting was everywhere, where did these five thousand recruits see this formation, the thief army was all hideous, crawling out of the pile of dead people, these recruits were torn apart by the thief army in a few clicks, Meng Yi shouted: "Stabilize me, those who retreat will be killed, and those who kill the enemy will be rewarded!" "Where do these recruits care about rewards, slashes, and beheadings, all of them think about saving their lives, and they will talk about it after they escape.
Meng Yi was surrounded by his own soldiers at this time, and the rest of the Han soldiers were fighting on their own, Liu Bei hurriedly shouted to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Yun Changyide, you protect Xianhe and leave quickly, don't let him get hurt." "Liu Guanzhang and the three of them are all good at martial arts, and they can hold on to it for a while, but this Jian Yong is a literati who has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has long been stunned when he sees this fighting scene, how can he fight these soldiers who have been trained in war all year round, Liu Bei had to order Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to escort Jian Yong away.
"Yes, big brother, then you have to be careful!" After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei finished speaking, they reined in and slashed and killed, protecting Jian Yong and preparing to break out of the encirclement.
According to the report, the thieves learned that the Han Dynasty had an army of 5,000 people would pass through here, so they ambushed here early, the thief army was bound to win, in order to maintain the same number, so the whole army was dispatched, the combat effectiveness of the thief army was really strong, and Meng Yi's new army ran away, so the number of the enemy and us has opened a big gap, at this time Meng Yi and his personal soldiers were surrounded by the thief army, seeing that the personal soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, Liu Bei saw that Meng Yi was in danger, thinking that if the commander died, What kind of crime did he wear, and hurriedly rode his horse and rushed forward, shouting in his mouth: "Kill!" ”
said that it was too late, and suddenly an arrow shot straight at Liu Bei, Liu Bei hurriedly dodged, unfortunately was shot in the thigh, and fell directly under the horse, at this time Liu Bei was still conscious, thinking that he couldn't die here, if he died, there would be nothing, no matter, he didn't do it, he endured the pain and pretended to die. The enemy saw Liu Bei fall in response to the arrow, lying motionless on the ground, they all thought he was dead, so they didn't care, and rushed directly to the commander Meng Yi, this battle Meng Yi's army was attacked, and finally because he was outnumbered, he was killed by the enemy, and Liu Bei was in a hurry, pretending to be dead and escaped.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong escaped from the tried, but when they looked back, Liu Bei was gone, so anxious that they stomped their feet, so they turned around halfway and decided to find Liu Bei, and the three of them rode back to the battlefield, only to see that there was nothing else here except the corpse and blood, Jian Yong was so frightened that he cried directly, thinking that Liu Bei would not die, but he let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go in order to save himself: "Xuande, Xuande, where are you?" ”
Guan Yu Zhang Fei's heart was also trembling at this time, and he hurriedly rummaged through the corpse, and he had to see the corpse if he didn't die, and shouted while flipping: "Big brother, big brother, where are you, you come out." ”
"This ...... This is Meng Yi's corpse! Zhang Fei found Meng Yi's body and said, because Meng Yi's armor is different from others, so it is very easy to recognize.
"What, Meng Yi is dead!" Guan Yu Jian Yong hurriedly ran over and took a closer look: "His head was cut off by the enemy as a trophy!" ”
"Yun Chang, Yide, come here!" At this time, Liu Bei heard Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's voice, and knew that they were coming to find him, but his leg was injured, and his thigh was constantly bleeding, and his body couldn't move at all at this time, he might have bled too much, and the person was also extremely prostration, so he shouted out with his last breath.
"Ah, big brother, big brother, you're not dead yet!" Guan Yu and the other three heard Liu Bei's cry and immediately ran over.
"Xuande, Xuande, wake up!" At this time, Liu Bei's face was bloodless, his lips were pale, Jian Yong quickly looked at Liu Bei, and said: "His thigh is injured, and the blood in his thigh has been flowing, help him stop the bleeding, otherwise he will die!" ”
"Good!" Guan Yu broke the arrow on Liu Bei's leg with his hand and said, "The arrow inside can't be taken now, and the person who takes it out is really gone!" ”
"What then?" Yide was already sweating profusely.
"Stop the bleeding first!" Guan Yu tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and tied Liu Bei's legs: "We have to move the eldest brother back and let the doctor save him!" ”
"Where to go?"
"Go...... Why don't you go to Gongsun Zhan, isn't the eldest brother the same brother as him, he won't die without help, and the closest thing is only his camp! After Guan Yu finished speaking, he gently picked up Liu Bei and said, "Come, you go find a trailer, preferably flat!" ”
"There's one down the hill, I'll get it!" Zhang Fei hurriedly got up, these trailers were all escorted by Meng Yi's army to deliver grain and grass, and now the grain and grass have been burned, and some trailers have also been burned, destroyed, and there are few that can be used.
"Big brother, you hold on!" Guan Yu hugged Liu Bei and said.
"Yide, hurry up!" Jian Yong shouted anxiously.
"It's coming, hurry up, put the big brother up!" Zhang Fei pushed the car up like a fly at this time, and when he encountered unevenness on the road, he even lifted the car.
"Go, slow down, don't shake!" Guan Yu gently put Liu Bei up.
"The blood is still flowing, what should I do!" Jian Yong put his head in front of Liu Bei's nose, listened to it and said, "Come on...... I feel that Xuande has no breath anymore, hurry up! ”
"Shut up the fuck, my eldest brother didn't become like this to save you!" Zhang Fei was furious at this time, turning his head and scolding Jian Yong while towing the truck.
"Hey~ It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's hurt Xuande!" Jian Yong said with tears in her eyes at this time.
"You all don't have to say a word, it's important to find a doctor quickly!" Guan Yu said expressionlessly.
"Humph!" Zhang Fei stopped arguing with Jian Yong, and pulled the car vigorously: "This mountain road is really steep, crooked." ”
"Three heroes, please wait a minute!" Zhang Fei had just finished complaining when he heard someone calling them.
Guan Yu looked back, it turned out to be a young girl, at this time Guan Yu and the others were surprised, this barren mountain range, not far away is still a battlefield, how can there be such a young and beautiful girl, she carried a basket in her hand, and slowly approached them.
"Girl, may I ask you what's the matter, we have something urgent now, let's talk while we go!" Jian Yong said.
"I am a practitioner of medicine, I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and the people in your car were wounded by arrows, and the arrows have injured their blood, if they are not saved, they will definitely bleed too much and die!"
"Ah, the girl is a doctor, great, it's my eldest brother in the car, I implore the girl to come to the rescue, he will be grateful again in the future!" Guan Yu arched his hand and said.
"Yes, girl, save my eldest brother!" Zhang Fei also said.
"No need to be polite, get out of the way!" The girl approached Liu Bei, looked at the wound on his leg, and then took out a utensil from the basket and said to Guan Yu: "Red-faced, there are fresh mulberry leaves in this vessel, you feed him to your eldest brother to eat!" ”
"Why did you eat mulberry leaves when you were injured?" Guan Yu opened the utensils, took out the mulberry leaves and asked.
"It's important to save people, I'll talk to you when I'm fed!" As she spoke, the girl untied the cloth that bandaged Liu Bei's wound with her own hands, looked at it carefully, and her flesh and blood were blurry and she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Dare to ask the girl, how to feed this mulberry leaf?" Guan Yu broke Liu Bei's mouth with his hand, but Liu Bei's mouth wouldn't move at all, Guan Yu said helplessly at this time.
"Give it to me!" The girl took the mulberry leaf from Guan Yu's hand, bit the mulberry leaf into her mouth, and after chewing, she broke Liu Bei's mouth open, and handed the mulberry leaf to Liu Bei's mouth with her mouth, repeatedly, and then fed Liu Bei water: "Black-faced, you pull out the arrow!" ”
"Ah...... Oh......" Zhang Fei was already stunned when he saw that this girl was feeding her eldest brother with her mouth, and when he saw the girl calling him, he reacted and said, "Isn't there more blood?" ”
"Not now, you see, the blood here has stopped from the arrow wound!"
"Really!" Zhang Fei looked at it carefully, prepared the posture of pulling out the arrow, and said, "Get ready, I'm going to pull it!" ”
Seeing this, Guan Yu stepped forward and pressed Liu Bei's thigh, Zhang Fei didn't say a word, and pulled out the arrow in Liu Bei's body.
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly applied the already chewed mulberry leaves in her mouth to Liu Bei's wound, then tore off a piece of cloth from her body, tied Liu Bei's wound, and said, "Okay, his life is not in danger!" ”
"Then when will my eldest brother wake up?"
"About three or five days, you don't have to feed him anything else these days, give you the mulberry leaves in the utensils, mash the mulberry leaves every day, give him to take it, three times a day, three or five days can be recovered!" The girl took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from her face.
Zhang Fei took a closer look and said, "Girl, your handkerchief, my eldest brother seems to have it, let me take a look, it seems to be ......" Zhang Fei reached out and took out the handkerchief that Liu Bei was carrying from Liu Bei's pocket.
"It's really similar, it's a coincidence!" Guan Yu took the handkerchief in Zhang Fei's hand and said.
"It's good that he has a brother like you, take good care of your eldest brother, I'll go first!" When the girl had finished speaking, she turned and walked up the hill.
"Girl, please stay, we haven't thanked you yet!"
"No need, help your eldest brother well, here is a thank you to me!" After saying that, the girl disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"This ...... What about people? Zhang Fei twisted his eyes and said in disbelief: "It can't be that I met a fairy!" ”
"Xuande will not die, there will be a blessing, it's really good!"
"Yes, the eldest brother's destiny has been reborn, and even the gods have come to help him!"
At this time, in Gongsun Zhan's place, he got a report that the enemy army was pouring out, so he did not go to rescue Meng Yi, and directly led the army to attack Shimen, Zhang Chun knew that he had lost his base and the general trend had gone, so he left his wife and children and fled into Xianbei. Gongsun Zhan made meritorious service and continued to pursue, but due to the deep penetration of the lone army, he was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in Liaoxi, and the soldiers were defeated when the grain was exhausted, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded. Houqiu Liju's army was also exhausted and left Liucheng. After Gongsun Chan came back, he put his merits on the court, and saw that Liu Bei was still guilty and seriously injured, and he was also very sympathetic to him, so he shared some of the credit, and the court then issued an edict to worship Gongsun Chan as the captain of the school, and the marquis of the capital pavilion, and also led the history of the governor of the country, and at the same time exempted Liu Bei from responsibility, and the others were rewarded according to the size of the merit.
