What kind of person is Liu Bei?

This is an issue that is destined to be controversial in any era, because it is difficult for any one person to reach the state of purity...... This naturally includes the era that belongs to Gongsun Xun in front of us.

So what kind of person is Liu Bei?

Come to think of it, most passers-by will say that Liu Bei is an ambitious hero.

After all, from the long time ago the lost boy who made shocking remarks to the big mulberry tree in front of his house; to leave the comfort zone and resolutely take the initiative to participate in the wave of the times; Finally, to sit in Huainan, in the heyday of holding both the two Huai and half of the Jiangdong region, as well as the entire Xuzhou Wohuai Dragon...... From the macro perspective of this era, he is almost the inevitable person after Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao on the road of Gongsun Xun, and he is probably the last person to stand in the way.

Such a person can be called a hero in any case.

As for the subordinates and friends who have had contact with Liu Bei, I am afraid that they will still think that this is a person who can win people, he is really able to be a corporal of courtesy, magnanimous, and the kind of person who makes people willing to die for it.

Of course, there are also some people, because of their position, they will think that Liu Bei is an ungrateful person, a shameless person who repeatedly opposes Gongsun Xun, who has great favors with him, for personal ambitions, this kind of person should have died a long time ago!

If you go further, such as the old friends Lu Fan and Han Dang, who are opposite him today, I am afraid that they will come to conclusions such as 'ranger style', 'emotional', 'no distinction between priorities', and 'life and death'.

However, if the person who has the closest relationship with Liu Bei, that is, Zhang Fei, who has followed Liu Bei since more than ten years ago, to answer, the answer to this question may be simpler, because he knows very well in his heart that Liu Bei and himself are the same kind of people, and they are both Yandi rangers.

It's just that Liu Bei is a ranger leader with ideas, while he, Zhang Fei, is just an ordinary ranger who is ordinary and charging ahead.

Between Deng County and Chaoyang County, along the river, is a plain area divided into several pieces by the river, the land is fertile, the household registration is dense before the chaos, it has always been the essence of Nanyang, and because of geographical reasons, there have been many classic battles here. Not to mention those ancient things, just say that a few years ago, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian fought in this place Lianjie and Megatron Huaxia, and the Yuan Shu who fought completely collapsed, and Liu Biao, who was beaten, fell into the water, so that the latter almost did not dare to look north from then on.

And his strange death after the victory directly affected the overall situation of the world, and rendered a certain legend for this place.

It is said that Sun Wentai was ambitious, but was disgusted by Cai Yang's ancestor Guangwu Spirit, so he died on the spot. And this time Gongsun Xun did not go to Nanyang in person, according to Jiangxia rumors, it was also because he was afraid of Guangwu.

Back in front of him, even putting aside those gods and monster legends, since Liu Bei left Deng County to the north, and the Yan army hurriedly left Chaoyang to the south, the entire battlefield has been filled with a strange atmosphere...... Because Liu Beijun's resolute attitude and the huge gap in strength between the two sides are really too incompatible, but no matter how you think about it, you feel that it is no problem.

First of all, the simplest question, will Liu Bei surrender?

This question, don't say that those people from Xuzhou surrendered, even those who came from Liangzhou also understood, how could Liu Xuande surrender? Surrender is still called emotional, life and death? surrendered, he was worthy of those henchmen who died in Guandu? Surrendering his efforts in the last year, and even the nearly ten years of effort since he left Gongsun Xun, didn't it become a joke?

People live in search of value...... You can't just because Gongsun Xun doesn't give them this opportunity, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Cui Yan are roughly like this.

In a word, if it really wants to fall, it will already be lowered.

And since it can't be lowered, then it will naturally die...... In a sense, Liu Bei is still very grateful to Jiangxia Xiaotianzi, because the Han family can give him a way to die that seems valuable, but may actually be more valuable.

So this battle, from the very beginning, was filled with a tragic atmosphere of suicide!

In the face of such a situation, the strength of the army occupies an absolute advantage, and the Yan army on both sides of the river will naturally have a slightly impetuous complex psychology...... The generals of Liangzhou and Hanzhong were eager to try, and these people who had been on the edge of the world for hundreds of years tried to make a great achievement from this victorious battle, and then followed the dividends of Jia Xiang's reign to make themselves and their families jump into the mainstream; Correspondingly, the generals of Xuzhou seem to be a little evasive and ashamed, of course they also want to make meritorious contributions, otherwise they would not be honest to this point, but in the face of Liu Bei, even if the latter has only been their master for less than a year or two, there is still a shameful mentality of betraying the master, not to mention Chen Qun; As for Sima Yi and Han Fu, they were more calm, but Lu Fan, Han Dang and other senior officials who followed closely behind and personally pressed the formation, they couldn't help but focus on the results of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others, as well as the follow-up issues such as Nanjun and Jiangxia in the future.

For a while, the whole Yan army had a strange sense of restlessness that put their minds outside the battlefield.

On the evening of the twenty-sixth day of March, the two sides marched for a day, separated by less than 30 miles, but neither side followed Sun Jian's intention of running overnight, but stationed themselves on the spot, and waited until the early morning of the second day, as a mist drifted up, before they invariably raised their troops and continued to advance.

At this time, Liu Bei's army of 6,000 people, evenly divided into three divisions, without any fancy, the forward Zhang Fei and the deputy general Zhou Li led 2,000 people in front, Liu Bei and Jian Yongti 2,000 Chinese troops were in the center, and Li Tong led 2,000 people to the rear of the palace, and the three divisions were two miles away from each other, and they went north along the west bank of the river to meet the enemy...... Rather than putting on a statement, it's a so-called Arrow Array.

Correspondingly, Yan Jun is a little more complicated, but only slightly.

First of all, Lu Fan followed Xun You's suggestion and assigned 5,000 local troops from Nanyang to Han Dang, so that the latter would march early from the east bank of the river with some boats, planks and other things that were convenient for building pontoon bridges at the beginning, so that it was not only convenient to outflank, but also a gesture to facilitate rescue in case of emergency.

Secondly, on the west bank of the river, Lu Fan lined up 15,000 people of the 15th battalion of the 11th battalion of the front army, which was also a long column, and he himself led up to 5,000 Chinese troops to supervise the battle and press the formation...... The army formation stretched, the forward was out of the camp for ten miles, and half of the troops behind had not left the village.

Obviously, this is still a cautious gesture just in case, and it can be regarded as a gesture of extreme respect for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, because the 11th battalion is already nearly three times the strength of Liu Beijun's entire army, if the other party can really use that bit of soldiers and horses to penetrate the 11th battalion and break his Chinese army, Lu Fan can only say that he deserves to die.

Of course, such a posture also has a bit of a sense of being forced by Jia Xu's Tongquetai Q&A...... Everyone knows that his Lu Ziheng's appointment as the Grand Sima and the Metropolitan Governor is a very high political courtesy, a kind of preference and grace from Gongsun Xun, and everyone knows that Jia Wenhe is a 'temporary worker', but the times are unpredictable, who would have thought that Yizhou would be laid down in three months, and then let Jia Xu seize the opportunity of this era and make that wonderful political move?

So, when Gongsun Xun once again threw the merit of ending the war in the world to him, Lu Fan really didn't want to make any mistakes, so as not to laugh at his generosity.

In the morning, shortly after the sun had risen in the east, the sun easily pierced the mist from across the river, and half an hour later, the two armies collided directly as they were galloping back and forth to deliver messages.

There was no conspiracy, no whims, just marching together along the passage on the west bank of the river, and then meeting directly on the way, and a battle ensued.

Then, in a state of equal strength, the two divisions of the first battalion of the Yan Army and two thousand people collapsed directly!

The combat experience is simple to the extreme, and even a little boring - the mediocre Yandi ranger Zhang Yide led the infantry with the deputy general Zhou Li behind, and only led the only two or three hundred inferior horse cavalry in the army, personally slaughtered in front, and came up to attack the enemy's main general! And the commander of the first battalion, Xie Zheng Xie Mingxian, the commander of the Tuntian Commander of Yuzhong, had not had time to draw his sword, but he was snatched in front of him by Zhang Yide with a black horse under the crotch given by his old friend Li Jin, and easily picked the opponent off the horse with a spear, and then cut off the opponent's banner!

Seeing this situation, the deputy general Gongsun Xu may have just entered the battlefield, and he was frightened and walked away, as for the camp itself, they were all soldiers and horses in the Tuntian, among which there were many Wudu Qiang people, the main general was killed in battle, and the deputy general fled, so he was naturally at a loss, and the enemy army of two thousand then pounced, and the first battalion naturally collapsed in an instant.

In the whole battle, the only one worth sighing about was Xie Wei, who was from a poor family for several generations, who was favored by Yan Gong because of his humble background but diligence, and pointed out to the five senses Zhonglang to set Gongsun as a deputy, and turned from a descendant to a person with a good future in Yan Kingdom. And according to his prudence and diligence, coupled with this great opportunity, it is not possible that the Chen Jun Xie clan will evolve into a Han Yuan Yang-like family one hundred and ten years later.

But it's a pity that before the family could be carried forward, Xie Wei died innocently here because of his great opportunity, leaving only a wife and an infant only son Xie Zhang...... You must know that in this battle, the generals of Xuzhou are not enough, but the generals of Liangzhou and Hanzhong are everyone competing for the first, if it weren't for him Xie Wei is the person who is the general of the five senses, where would it be his turn to get the first place in the ranking of his Zhongzhong battalion?

As soon as the battle began, a battalion was easily defeated, and Zhang Yide, who was heavily armored and steel helmeted, didn't even say anything about it, maybe even because of his strong beard, and the attendants around him couldn't even see his expression clearly...... Since Zhang Fei was successful, he didn't say much, but on the one hand, he asked people to repay the rear army, and on the other hand, he ordered the whole army to take advantage of the situation and replace many Liangzhou horses, and then regardless of the rout, he continued to go north to meet the enemy.

Unlike Liu Beijun's three divisions, which naturally opened a reasonable distance, the gap between the various divisions of the Yan army was very short, but there was no way, who let Lu Fan hold his weight and have to put on this kind of single formation?

In fact, at this time, the first battalion had already collapsed, and Lu Fan's headquarters had just left the camp, while the second battalion quickly rushed to the front of the battlefield and directly gathered the rout.

The second battalion is a battalion in the Xuzhou army sequence, only a thousand people, the main general Kong Xiu is the general of Zhendong Guan Yuai, born in Mount Tai, only because he looks down on the rest of the Xuzhou army sequence in his bones and his own merits, backstage, this is put in the second position.

And Kong Xiu saw the collapse of the front camp early, Rao is person is a veteran of the battlefield, and instinctively ordered to rein in the rout, but he still found it incomprehensible. It wasn't until Zhang Fei's banner appeared in the field of vision, and there were actually two or three hundred horsemen coming first, that his people suddenly realized that it was natural on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were overjoyed, and then took the initiative to pat their horses forward, trying to organize the troops to rush face to face.

In other words, of course, there is a reason why Kong Xiu is so stance...... He has been with Guan Yu for a long time, and he has always been obedient to Guan Yunchang's divine martial arts, but the people who are convinced of Guan Yu have a very subtle and extreme attitude towards Zhang Fei, who is also the 'enemy of ten thousand people' in the mouth of Yan Gong.

Some people are afraid of Zhang Yide for this, but some people think that Zhang Yide is not worthy of his name and is not enough to be compared with Guan Yu. But Kong Xiu obviously belongs to the latter, he saw Zhang Yide appear in the field of vision from afar, on the one hand, he instantly understood the collapse of the former camp because the other party was as famous as his own Guan Zhendong, but on the other hand, he actually wanted to besiege and kill Zhang Fei in order to make a miracle!

The quality of the individual soldiers of the second battalion is actually far inferior to those Qiang people in the first battalion, but the victory lies in excellent discipline, since Kong Xiu gave the order, the whole army immediately cheered up, a few cavalry in front, foot soldiers in the rear, shouting forward, and Zhang Fei saw this and did not speak, but still struggled to lead his two or three hundred cavalry to come first.

Between the two armies, the rout of the first battalion was like a wave, rolling directly to the sides, but the second round of fighting broke out quickly.

"Where is Zhang Yide?" Kong Xiu was in good shape, wearing iron armor and holding an iron spear, and asked first. "Sima Kongxiu, another subordinate under the eastern command of Xuzhou Guan Town, is here!"

And under the banner of Zhang Zida, a thunderous response suddenly sounded: "Zhang Fei is here!" ”

When Kong Xiu heard the voice, he felt a little frightened, but he still relied on his soldiers to fight in the direction of the sound, and saw the black-armored, black-bearded and white-faced general from a distance, and then rushed straight to kill.

The two sides faced each other, and the two iron spears swung almost in unison, seemingly tied...... And the Xuzhou soldiers and horses behind Kong Xiu were naturally excited.

However, after this combination, Zhang Yide was not in a hurry and calmly reined in the horse, but Kong Xiu was already secretly frightened to death.

In other words, he prides himself on being vigorous, and when he was in Qingzhou, he never even accepted Pan Zhang, and only respected Guan Yunchang alone, but just came up with two iron spears intersecting, although he tried his best to hold the shelf, but the right arm of the force has been shocked to the point that it is difficult to hold the spear.

Taking advantage of the momentum of returning to the horse, his people hurriedly changed hands on the horse, but they were ready to reverse the one, so they fled immediately, surrounded and killed the other party, and waited for reinforcements behind them.

However, the two sides joined again, and this time Zhang Yide, who had already understood the depth of the other party, did not stay any longer, and as soon as the iron spears of the two sides collided in the air, Kong Xiu's weapons were instantly taken off, and he could only lean over on the back of the horse to try to escape.

And Zhang Fei was bored, and he wanted to let Guan Yu go in front of him, but he couldn't help but stick a spear in his hand and immediately inserted the other party into his heart.

Poor Kong Xiu's Taishan general, before he could make a contribution, he also died on the spot, it can only be said that he died at the hands of Zhang Fei, but it cannot be said that he is incompetent.

On the other side, after Zhang Yide killed the other party casually, he also sighed, but he was too lazy to pause, but directly led the two or three hundred cavalry to rush and kill the soldiers and horses of the second battalion - after all, Kong Xiu is good at training, and his department has excellent discipline, although the main general is dead, but the soldiers of the second battalion are still under the command of several Qu military marquis to carry out military orders, collect the rout, and strangle the cavalry on the opposite side.

But that's about it.

When Zhou Li, who was behind Zhang Fei, led the infantry to arrive and catch the second battalion of soldiers and horses, Zhang Yide led the cavalry to sweep everywhere, focusing on killing officers, and as several Qu military marquis died under the spear of this tiger general, the second battalion from Xuzhou also collapsed.

However, correspondingly, this time Zhang Fei's department also naturally suffered due attrition on the battlefield.

Moreover, it was not easy to defeat the second battalion, Zhang Feibu didn't have time to catch his breath, and saw the smoke and dust billowing from the north, and the third battalion that was actually from the Liangzhou sequence had been rapidly supported in place, and the leader was Jiang Xu, who was born in Tianshui, Liangzhou.

Zhang Yide sneered rarely, and then turned back and instructed Zhou Li: "I will move forward, and I will bother Zhou Sima to take care of the overall situation for me in the back." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Li to agree, Zhang Yide roared angrily, and the sound shook the wilderness, and then rode forward, driving the defeated soldiers straight to the third battalion.

"It's time to start."

There is still a lack of people in Henan, the White Horse Temple outside Luoyang City, the rain in late spring and early summer is one after another, and Sun Xun, the Duke of Yan, is playing animal cards with Wang Xiang and a monk in a room in the temple.

"What did Your Highness say?" Wang Xiang is recognized as a 'dumb', but the monk Zhu Bajie is not, since he is puzzled, he naturally asks.

"Lone is talking about the war in Nanyang." Gongsun Xun said disapprerovantly while looking at the cards. "According to the war briefing from the fast horses on the front line a few days ago, the battle is either yesterday or today."

Zhu Bajie sighed for a while, but he didn't play his cards in time.

"What does this mean by the eight-precept monk?" Seeing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help frowning. "Is it sad when you feel sad? Or do you want to persuade orphans to do less killing? Monks should know that I promised the people of the world that I would not listen to the words of monks, Taoist priests, wizards and the like on major matters, let alone believe in your theories of ghosts and gods. ”

The monk is the transliteration of the Sanskrit teacher, and when only the preaching monks were in the White Horse Temple and Wutai Mountain, they were naturally 'monks', and later Zhu Bajie became a monk, and he became the first Han monk in the world.

"The little monk doesn't dare to talk about state affairs." Zhu Bajie played the cards carefully, and then replied helplessly. "Today, His Royal Highness came down to the White Horse Temple, and when he came up, he told the temple that he was not allowed to shave his ordination without permission, and the little monk had no words...... It's just that I really pity those who died innocently on the battlefield! In fact, if it weren't for the world's suffering, the connection of wars, and the desire of everyone to escape from the world, why would the followers of our sect become so numerous in the previous decades? ”

"The monks don't have to mention the affairs of the believers." Gongsun Xun said coldly. "I asked you to be ready to come forward to appease the Xuzhou believers who migrated after the autumn, and you will appease ...... Why do you say so much? ”

Zhu Bajie wanted to speak and stopped, so he could only bow his head and continue to play cards, and after a round of cards, and then in front of Monk Zhu, he still couldn't bear it: "Your Highness, the little monk is presumptuous, can't Xiangyang and Jiangxia really surrender?" Why do you have to fight and kill? The little monk didn't mean to interfere in military and political affairs, but if he could persuade him to surrender and save thousands of people from the scourge of war, what if Yan Gong killed the little monk? ”

"Monk, monk!"

Gongsun Xun suddenly pushed down the animal card in front of him, and then sighed. "You are speaking in ignorance...... Do you think this battle is avoidable? Or do you think that the war in the world is really just the result of the superiors ignoring the common people? Some of them are, and some of them are really unavoidable. ”

Zhu Bajie and Wang Xiang stood solemnly together to plead guilty.

"Sit down." Gongsun Xun is naturally impatient with this. "Monk, we have been friends for decades, and today we are facing each other privately in our hometown, and we have official business, so it is not a breach of promise, so I will be honest with you...... The battle of Nanyang is indispensable, and it is not something that can be decided between Gu and Liu Xuande, because the battle of Nanyang is not a war between Gu and Xuande at all. ”

Zhu Bajie folded his hands in the seat, bowed his head, and revealed his hairy head to show respect.

"When the Yan Kingdom reaches this point, it is bound to overthrow the Han Dynasty, and Jiangxia still exists, and those who disobey me will inevitably gather in Jianghan. At this time, breaking the last foundation of Xiangyang, the powerful family, and breaking the last foundation of Jiangxia, the last foundation of the Han family, is a must for my Yan Guoding...... Without Liu Xuande, I am afraid that Liu Biao will not be able to escape, even if Liu Biao runs away, there will be Cai Mao and Kuai Liang struggling to defend in Xiangyang. There will always be people who, in the name of the Han family, gather the opponents of the Yan Kingdom and work hard. ”

At this point, without waiting for Zhu Bajie to express his teaching, in the dripping rain, Gongsun Xun rarely sighed: "Actually, whether it is Cao Mengde before or Liu Xuande now, I am very grateful, especially Xuande, if it weren't for his actions today, if it were not for Liu Biao's actions today, if he really surrounded Liu Biao under Xiangyang City, with the danger and solidity of Xiangyang City, God knows how many more people would die." And now he has taken the initiative to leave the city to fight, almost as if he is trying to help me! Someone has to do something! If I don't go to hell, who will? Isn't that the language of your Buddhist family? ”

"His Royal Highness's meaning is understood by the little monk, but there is no such Buddha word in the forty-two chapters!" Zhu Bajie hurriedly replied solemnly.

"Today there is ...... Plus! ”

The spring thunder rolled over, the rain was even worse, and the inside and outside of the White Horse Temple were silent, and Zhu Bajie and Gongsun Xun wanted to speak at the same time.

Hundreds of miles away, under the sun, Zhang Fei was expressionless, calmly killed Jiang Xu under the horse, and then covered in blood, with less than two hundred knights left to continue to the north.
