Chapter 158: What Happened?
"Brother, what did Pei Qing'er tell you to go? Isn't it a matter of continuing to dig a trench? Hehe, I don't think he has anything else to do but dig a trench right now. ”
After Liu Bei came back, Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask, and his words were full of sarcasm for Pei Qing.
However, he saw Liu Bei scolding: "It's nonsense again, Pei Yuanjun ordered our army to start a decisive battle against the Xiliang army in three days, and asked us to be prepared. ”
Liu Bei said something solemn, but Zhang Fei didn't think so after hearing it, and said with a smile: "Brother, why do you believe it?" This must be Pei Qing'er's old shrinking turtle, and he felt that he couldn't hang his face, so he ordered an attack, but our exit is so narrow, as long as the other party sends big shield soldiers and spearmen to form a formation, or just sets up obstacles at the intersection, and then sends sergeants to guard it, we can only stare dryly, so his so-called attack is just a formality, I believe that he let us pretend to launch a wave of attacks, and then Mingjin withdrew the troops, and then we prepared in vain and wasted our feelings. ”
However, then Liu Bei shouted in a deep voice: "If you are prepared, prepare well, where is so much nonsense?" How could a coalition leader be a joke with an army of more than 100,000? If you don't get the first credit at the start of the big fight, watch your skin when you come back! ”
Zhang Fei hurriedly and cautiously said: "I'm just joking, making my brother laugh, brother don't worry, this time the big battle has already been prepared, if you want to say anything else, you can call me for such a thing, when the time comes to count the heads, I will definitely kill the most." ”
However, when Zhang Fei said this, he saw Guan Yu's gaze was very cold, and immediately said in a sneering voice: "Of course, I mean that I have killed the most except for the second brother, and the biggest credit for this is, of course, the two of us brothers snatched it." ”
Guan Yu's face looked a little better, and he said lightly: "Don't say that, there are still many capable people in this world, maybe someone will snatch our heads, so we still have to prepare seriously, don't really be robbed of the credit by then, then we will be ashamed." ”
Although he said this, Guan Yu's face had a look of self-sacrifice, what he said just now was just modesty, really in terms of killing the enemy, he prides himself on being the second in the world, who else dares to call it the first? Even Lu Bu, who is known as Lu Bu among people, may not be as good as himself in terms of his ability to kill enemies, but he has no chance to show his martial arts.
Three days passed quickly, and Xie Juzhen had already returned, bringing a letter from Li Dao agreeing to fight, and telling Pei Qing what he had done in the Xiliang military camp.
Pei Qing was very happy when he heard the news, and said hard work to Xie Juzhen, and then asked Xie Juzhen to retreat, and did not say anything about "taking immortal medicine" for Xie Juzhen.
Although Xie Juzhen was slightly disappointed in his heart, he didn't show it, but continued to do his own thing, he believed that as long as he did well enough, Pei Qing would definitely give himself the immortal medicine.
However, Xie Juzhen didn't know that the reason why Pei Qing was like this was actually to test Xie Juzhen to see how he would react, after all, the genes of the famous generals matched for Xie Juzhen's father and son were not simple, and they must not be allowed to be won by people with bad intentions.
Seeing Xie Juzhen's reaction, Pei Qing's heart was still quite satisfied, but now was not the time to match them with the genes of famous generals, so Pei Qing didn't say anything, first, time was indeed tight, and second, it was just a good test of their father and son's temperament.
On the morning of the day of the battle, Pei Qing got up early, he made arrangements for everything, came to the school field, ordered the generals, announced discipline, and then led the army to set off slowly.
Because there are narrow mountain roads from Shangxian to Shangluo, there is no room for the army to advance, Pei Qing's army naturally cannot be carried out, and can only be four or five people at the same time, in this case, Pei Qing took the lead and led the soldiers to walk in front, but Liu Bei took the initiative to ask to be the pioneer in order to be able to compete for merit.
Pei Qing didn't say anything about this, smiled faintly, and agreed to Liu Bei's request.
So Liu Bei led his right-wing army to the forefront, advancing rapidly, and when they reached the end of the narrow passage, they had already seen the open area not far ahead.
After arriving here, Liu Bei led the army to stop, because he didn't know what the situation was ahead, for fear that he would be sniped by the other party as soon as he showed his head.
However, at this moment, I only heard someone shouting loudly not far ahead: "But Pei Yuanqing's coalition army is here?" Very good, you arrived as promised, and in that case, I will not break my promise, and immediately lead the army back five miles to make room for you, just hoping that you will not be frightened and retreat back? Hahaha......"
Liu Bei heard the other party say this, probably knew what happened, and listened to Zhou Cang's explanation of this, and finally understood the cause and effect of the matter, since someone in the Xiliang Army has spoken, Liu Bei, as the commander of the forward, naturally can't remain silent, so he said: "The leader of the coalition alliance, Pei Yuanqing, obeys the general's orders, and Liu Bei, the minister of the plains, is ordered to lead the army here, and your army can retreat as promised, which is naturally excellent, I hope that your army can keep its promise, retreat the army to five miles away, and wait for our army to line up and then attack, If you break your word and get fat, you should lose your trust in the world and make future generations laugh. ”
I saw that the man laughed and said: "You can rest assured of this, but Pei Yuanqing didn't dare to take the lead by himself, and put the responsibility of commanding the front army on you What kind of plain minister, do you still think you can have the confidence to defeat us?" I think you might as well surrender, and I will definitely arrange a good position for you when the time comes. ”
However, Liu Bei shouted loudly: "You wait for the thief of Xiliang, hold the Son of Heaven hostage, mess with me beyond the outline, and make my Han Jiangshan and society unstable, I, Liu Bei, as the king of Zhongshan Jing, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, should take it as my responsibility to sweep away the evil demons and appease my Han Dynasty, how can I be in the same stream with such rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”
"Tsk, I really didn't expect that there is a Han clan here, you want to provoke me to attack at this time, and you use this as an excuse to refuse to fight, it's really a good calculation, it's a pity that I won't fall for you, since you dare to say such a big thing, I must also have some ability, I will definitely capture you alive in the battle array, but I won't kill you, and humiliate you, a distant Han clan, haha,....."
The one who spoke was Li Dao, he saw Liu Bei insulting him so much, his heart was extremely angry, and he secretly decided that he must capture Liu Bei alive today and humiliate him well, but if they attack at this time, they will immediately retreat back into the valley, so that they will not be able to compete with the other party, and they will not be able to capture Liu Bei alive, so they spoke like this, and ordered the army to retreat slowly, and wait until Pei Qing's army came out half of it and immediately launched an attack, which is called a half-crossing attack, although it is now crossing the valley instead of crossing the river, but the principle is the same, I believe that in this way, the enemy army will definitely return with a crushing defeat, and I can also take the opportunity to capture Liu Bei alive, so as to deter the enemy army and hit or even disintegrate their morale.
However, he didn't expect that when he personally led the army to retreat within three miles, he suddenly became chaotic after the battle, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly found his own soldiers on the left and right, and shouted and asked, "What's going on?" What's going on in the back? ”
