135. Shang Cai Cheng Po
Finally, under Han Fei's persuasion, Shi A's heart moved. However, he also made a request, to meet Liu Bei first, and no matter what the result was, he and his apprentice Sun Wu should be let go. However, Shi Ah also promised that he would never come to assassinate Liu Bei's people again in the future!
Han Fei nodded and shouted outside, "The three generals are going to invite the lord to come!" I have something to discuss! ”
At this time, Liu Bei outside the tent accosted: "Zicong, I am outside the tent, you can only talk if you have something." And if that assassin can release Zicong, I will let the two of you leave together! ”
"Lord, you are just right outside, so that you and Brother Dian will enter the tent together, and I have something to discuss with you!" Han Fei shouted again.
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Dian Wei. Dian Wei nodded, walked out of the crowd, and went straight to the big tent. Liu Bei followed behind him, and the two of them were each one meter away.
Dian Wei came to the outside of the tent and shouted inside: "Zicong, I'm going to come in." With that, he lifted the curtain and entered inside. When I came in, the assassin was standing at the head of the bed, and Han Fei was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and the two of them didn't look like they were holding and being held hostage at all. Although he didn't know what was going on, Dian Wei was secretly relieved to see that Han Fei was fine. At this time, he opened the curtain again, and Liu Bei walked into the tent!
Liu Bei was also stunned when he came in, but he immediately calmed down, looked at Han Fei and asked, "Zicong, you're not injured, are you?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine! And this..."Saying that, Han Fei pointed at Shi A, and then continued, "It's the high disciple of the Sword Saint Wang Yue, Mr. Shi A!" ”
Liu Bei didn't think anything about it, Dian Wei behind him instantly widened his eyes after hearing this, who is Wang Yue? That's the top existence among the rangers, I think who of them didn't want Wang Yue's guidance at the beginning! However, Wang Yue is very strict in accepting apprentices, and it is said that he has only accepted a dozen apprentices in his life, and only one person is this Shi A!
In order to give Liu Bei a hint, Dian Wei took the first step and hugged his fists and said: "I am Chen Liudianwei, dare to ask Mr. Shi A, Wang Daxia has always been good?" ”
Shi A didn't answer but looked at Han Fei suspiciously, Han Fei smiled and said, "They don't know about Old Man Wang. ”
Shi A nodded and said, "I haven't seen the family teacher for many years, but Han Fei has seen the family teacher before!" Chen Liudianwei, I know you, facing the enemy head-on, I am not your opponent! But it's not easy for you to keep me! ”
Dian Wei nodded and retreated behind Liu Bei again. Liu Bei had already understood something at this time, it seemed that this person was a talent! So he spoke: "This Mr. Shi, I have arrived in the tent, I don't know if you can release my military advisor Han Fei!" I hereby promise that as long as you let Han Fei go, I will also let you two leave safely! ”
"Ahem!" Han Fei coughed and said, "Lord, Shi Ah is not embarrassed by me!" This time, Yuan Shu sent him, but Yuan Shu was already dead in the mound at this time! So I would like to recommend Mr. Shi Ah to the lord. ”
"Oh!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his subordinates really didn't have any talents in this area. He looked at Shi A and said, "Mr. Shi Ah is really willing to submit to me?" ”
Shi A has been paying attention to Liu Bei since he spoke outside the tent, and at this moment he has determined that this Liu Bei is indeed a person who is a corporal of Lixian, and he can be regarded as a master! In addition, there are fierce generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei, and there are wise military advisors like Han Fei, maybe they can really achieve hegemony!
At this time, hearing Liu Bei's inquiry, Shi A knelt down on his knees without hesitation: "Shi A visits the lord!" ”
"Good, good! Sir, please get up! Liu Bei immediately said happily, "Mr. Wude's help is better than 100,000 soldiers and horses!" In this way, Shi A took his apprentice Sun Wu to Liu Bei, Sun Wu was taken down by several of Han Fei's guards just now, and he was slightly injured, and he was also let go at this time.
The matter between Shi A and Sun Wu is settled, and all that remains is to appease his relatives. A total of three people died and two were seriously injured that night, Han Fei buried all the three who died, and sent a very generous compensation to each family! The bounty was doubled for the seriously wounded, and everyone who had participated in the battle last night received a bounty. This is not the end, after Liu Bei learned of the situation, he added another bounty to each person.
After this incident, Liu Beijun hated Yuan Shu, and the craftsmen stepped up the construction, and it took three days to build the remaining four catapults.
On the other side, Guan Yu sent Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to bring 5,000 men and horses back from mining 30 boulders. Now the catapults and boulders are ready, just waiting for Liu Bei to give the order to attack the city!
Shangcai Chengzhong also learned the news of Shi Axing's assassination failure, and the city was gloomy! Knowing that he would have to face the boulder bombardment of catapults, Hashirui didn't know how to deal with it. There was no way, he quietly asked people to remove the sandbags blocking the south gate, and he was ready to evacuate at any time.
Finally, on this morning, the sky was clear, Liu Bei and his generals opened a formation under the city, and then five catapults were pushed to the front of the formation and arranged in a row. The soldier pushed the catapult to the designated position and began to expertly load the boulder!
The boulder had been installed, and a soldier ran back to the formation to report to Liu Bei. Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered the launch! Five boulders flew towards Shangcai City in an instant. As a result, three pieces were smashed on the city wall, and the city wall was smashed three times in a row, and a huge crack was visible to the naked eye!
Han Fei looked at it and ordered to continue the launch! In the second round, four of the five boulders hit the wall, which could no longer withstand such a heavy blow, and was smashed into a huge gap. The city was immediately disorganized, and many of the soldiers on it were buried in the ruins!
Liu Bei saw that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered Zhang Fei to lead people to attack the city! At this time, the defenders in Shangcai City had already been frightened by Liu Beijun's boulder, how could anyone dare to stay at the head of the city! As a result, with only one charge, Liu Beijun took the north gate of the city!
Qiao Rui is also a ruthless person, seeing that Liu Beijun occupied the city gate, he immediately ordered to set fire! The oil that had been stored in the castle tower was also spilled. The fire will not be easily extinguished together, Zhang Fei saw that there was no way the fire was too fierce, so he had to lead everyone to retreat from the city.
Qiao Rui asked people to open the south gate, and he personally rushed out of the city gate with a large group of men and horses and fled straight to Shouchun. Lei Bo and Le retreated to a valley with the remaining fire oil, and joined Han Hao and his party, who had already been ambushed here, and they only waited for Liu Beijun to chase after them, and they wanted to set fire to the mountain to stop their army.
However, what they didn't expect was that Liu Beijun occupied Shangcai but did not pursue them, but chose to rest in Shangcai City! All the preparations were useless, so the three generals were quite unwilling to lead their men and horses back to Shouchun City!
