Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Heart of Defense

"Big brother, you're here!" Guan Yu saw Liu Bei and Zhang Fei coming over on horseback, so he patted the horse's belly with his face, stepped forward, pointed to the army in front of him and said, "Big brother, these are four thousand Danyang soldiers, all of them are strong and strong, and they are all personally selected by me!" ”

Liu Bei looked at the four thousand troops in front of him, and was very happy in his heart, and said, "Okay, good, they're all infantry!" ”

"Yes, it's all infantry!" Guan Yu said.

"It's okay, our cavalry has it too!" Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Take the army, go back to the barracks!" ”

"Yes, big brother!" Guan Yu ran to Cao Bao after finishing, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Cao Bao from a distance and said a few words, and when he saw Cao Bao nodding, the army started.

"Big brother, this Tao Qian is really, give us 4,000 soldiers and horses, and fucking let Cao Bao come over, doesn't this show that he doesn't trust us?" Zhang Fei complained after Liu Bei.

"He also has a reason not to trust us, we are new to the city, why does he trust us, he has added 4,000 soldiers and horses to us, which is very generous!" Liu Bei said calmly: "Now is not a question of who is in charge of the military power, Cao Cao's 50,000 army is still in front of us, what we need most now is internal unity!" ”

"Got it, big brother!" Zhang Fei asked at this time: "Big brother, what did Mr. Mizhu tell you to do, how do I feel that he is just to let you be a guest!" ”

"I don't know this very well, to tell the truth, today's gathering, as if we are a witness, what are the two Randi of Mi Zhu and Sun Qian for, and we can do it completely without the plan they want to implement, is it just to let us know what they have done? Is it necessary for them to do so? Liu Bei said in a low voice: "Yide, I guess even Zhou Mu Taoqian doesn't know about this plan!" ”

"There's such a thing, okay, they can afford us!" Zhang Fei blew his cheeks with his mouth and said: "They can't get used to Tao Qian, they can afford us, hehe, big brother, let's take the initiative to play with them in the future, the military mutiny in Pingyuan County, I still remember, didn't they all have a good relationship with the local forces, I, if Cao Cao is really repelled this time, then let's find a reason to stay!" ”

"Stay?" Liu Bei said in surprise.

"That's right, why go back, Xuzhou is no worse than Qingzhou, I think Tao Qian is also generous, we settled in Xuzhou, it must be much stronger than settling in Qingzhou, you went to Qingzhou, what can you do, it's not every time you follow Tian Kai, good words, being used as a gun!"

"Then if we stay here, we will also be used as guns!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"That's not the same, I get along with the people here, you see that Mr. Mizhu is graceful and generous, and that Sun Qian, I feel that it is another Xianhe, they are polite to us, if both sides are used as guns, then it is better to be in Xuzhou, and it is comfortable to be used as guns!" Zhang Fei said casually.

"You don't have a good relationship with the people here!" Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and said, "This Cao Bao, you will tear your face as soon as you meet him!" ”

"Hey~ Cao Bao'er, I'll kill him sooner or later!" Zhang Fei looked at Cao Bao not far away, glanced at him, and said, "Hmph! ”

"If you want to stay, you can do it!" Liu Bei sighed deeply and said: "It's okay, running around, all of them are wandering around the territory of the Beirao forces, when will they be able to have their own territory!" ”

"We have too few soldiers, even if we have territory, we can't hold it!" Zhang Fei said helplessly: "Like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who doesn't have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands, we are tired and tired, and we only have thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands, and this little soldier can only occupy one county!" ”

"It's also reasonable, but the territory is bigger, the resources are more, the troops can be expanded, and the troops will be stronger, so the territory and the army are actually very related, the strong will only be stronger, and the weak will only be weaker!"

"It's still possible to emerge from a different army, big brother must not be presumptuous, haha......" Zhang Fei finished laughing and said: "Oh, I was serious just now, and I suddenly felt a little unaccustomed!" ”

"Poof~" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei in front of him and said, "Yide, it's good to know you and Yun Chang!" ”

"Hey~ Why is my eldest brother like this, it is a blessing that Yun Chang and I can know you in my previous life, if it weren't for you, I might still be selling pork now, or I would be a miscellaneous soldier, where would there be a general!" Zhang Fei slapped himself in the face and said, "Oh my mother, there are so many flies, why don't you clean up these corpses, if you continue like this, you may have to get the plague!" ”

"Yes, Yide, you really reminded me now!" Liu Bei reined in his mount and shouted at Guan Yu and Cao Bao: "Yun Chang, Cao Bao!" ”

When Guan Yu and Cao Bao heard Liu Bei calling them, they stopped, and the ones behind them also stopped.

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

"Yun Chang, it's not a way to put the corpses here here, you send someone to dig a pit in the mountain, take advantage of this time, bury these corpses in it, and if you don't deal with it, maybe there will be a plague in Tancheng!"

"The plague?" Cao Bao said: "Liu Yuanjun is good, it should indeed be dealt with, it should have been dealt with by the defenders in the city before, but everyone was scared, so no one dared to come out to deal with the corpse, worried that Cao Jun would be ambushed around here, and once he left the city, he would not be able to go back!" ”

"Well, let's do it!" Liu Bei looked at Tian Kai's military camp and said, "Tian Kai will send scouts at any time, and as soon as Cao Jun moves, I will send someone to inform you!" ”

"Yes, got it!"

"I'll go to the barracks now, and call some more people to help you, so that you can solve the battle quickly!" After Liu Bei finished, he rode to Tian Kai's military camp and galloped away.

"This corpse stinks and dirty, Yide, you go to the barracks and pull some carts over, so it's easy to do!" Guan Yu then said to everyone: "Do you have any cloth or anything on your body, tear it off and cover your nose, it won't be disgusting!" ”

"Then I'll get it!" Zhang Fei covered his nose and rode away.

......

Tian Kai's tent

"Xuande, what should we do with this Cao Cao!" Tian Kai frowned and thought: "The scouts sent just now, Cao Cao has already captured Pengcheng!" ”

"So fast!" Liu Bei was startled for a moment and said, "What about the people inside?" ”

"It's all gone!" Tian Kai replied casually, then looked at Liu Bei, and said dissatisfiedly: "Now I don't care about Peng Chengrao's affairs, think more about our situation, if we lose, we will have to lose our heads!" ”

"Report!" A guard walked into the camp tent and said, "Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent someone to send us military rations!" ”

"How much was sent?"

"Fifty thousand stones!" Tian Kai took a sip and said, "So little, I am an army of 10,000, plus the 4,000 Danyang soldiers, there are 14,000 mouths!" ”

"General, let's go out and have a look first!" Liu Bei got up and said.

"Let's go!" Tian Kai swaggered out, saw the two leading generals, and said, "You are responsible!" ”

"General Tian, we are the subordinates of the state pastor Darao, Xu Tan in Danyang, he is Danyang Zhangzhi!" At this time, one of them is human.

"Oh, okay, I, General Xu, the food given by your family is also very small, I have 14,000 mouths here, you go back and let your family give more!" Tian Kai waved his hand and motioned for them to go back.

"Lord Qiqitian, my family is an adult, it takes time to raise food, and I can't get a lot of it at once, but he will try his best to prepare military rations for you, and ensure that you won't go hungry!" Xu Tan said with a smile, as if he was apologizing.

Tian Kai stuck his waist and looked back at Liu Bei, seeing that Liu Bei was expressionless and didn't speak, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, I know, you go back and thank your family on my behalf!" ”

"Yes! Lord Nada said goodbye, and this grain will be placed here! After Xu Yan, Zhang Zhen and the two of them went back with the grain soldiers.

"What do they mean?" Tian Kai looked at Liu Beidao.

"Huh? What does that mean? Liu Bei said.

"Didn't they keep us in captivity, give us three or five rations at a time, and then he sent it to us, let's ...... The lives of this 10,000-strong army were pinched in Tao Qian's old immortal hands! Tian Kai gestured his hands, as if he had lost his mind.

"Don't be impatient, as the saying goes, it's easy to invite the Buddha and it's hard to send the Buddha, and he's also afraid that we'll mess around here, so he will come up with this trick, as long as we don't mess around here, he won't be fine?" Liu Bei said: "After all, forcing us to death will not do Tao Qian any good himself!" ”

"His grandmother's!" Tian Kai said helplessly: "I, Tian Kai, are kind enough to help him Tao Qian, without asking for a penny in return, but he prevents us from being more powerful than thieves, I know today, why bother at the beginning, Tao Qian is so ruthless, I Tian Kai should not come, let him be slaughtered by Cao Cao!" Tian Kai smashed his fist on the grain and grass.

Liu Bei on the side looked at Tian Kai, who was complaining in front of him, and suddenly felt that Tao Qian was doing the right thing, Tian Kai's performance was obviously to take advantage of the war, and now he was choked by others, and it would be difficult to be arrogant when the time came.

"Oops, this stinks, big brother, we're back!" Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Bao and others all came back one after another after finishing their errands, and they all pulled their faces, and it was obvious that they were disgusted with the work just now.

"Where have you been? All of them are in great pain! Tian Kai watched Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others walk in from outside, and asked curiously.

"Oh, Lord Tian, just now I asked them to carry the corpse, the corpse is placed there, it is easy to have a plague, this is not good for anyone!"

Zhang Fei walked over and said, "Yes, this corpse is ......."

"Hey, Zhang Yide, you really stink, go wash it!" Tian Kai suddenly smelled the smell of Zhang Fei's body, and immediately ran away, and then he looked at the people who walked in with disgust: "Over that hillside, there is a stream, you go to wash first and then come back, the barracks will be stinky to death by you!" ”

When everyone saw Tian Kai like this, they had no choice but to walk out of the camp again and go to the hillside one by one.
