Chapter 81: Abandoning the City
Under Pi City, the smoke of gunpowder curls.
Because of Zhao Yun's charge, Cao's army attacked the city in vain, and Xiapi City finally won the victory in the battle to defend the city.
Of course, only today.
It is foreseeable that tomorrow, Cao's army will attack the city, and it will inevitably be more violent.
And there are not many defenders in Xiapi City.
The city will be broken sooner or later, and it is inevitable.
The soldiers were very tired, and many of them lay directly on the city wall, resting with blood and water. Mi Zhu is organizing the people in the city, cleaning up the corpses, caring for the wounded soldiers, and bringing food.
Upstairs at the city gate, Zhao Yun was stripped off to only a pair of nasal calf pants, and a doctor was treating his wounds.
Riding alone to rush into battle, with his own strength, shaking tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Cao Cao's middle army and rear army, it is very awesome to say, and it is also very imposing, in fact, it is a small life in the fight, a little careless, it is not the legend of invincibility in the world, but the impulse of fools.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun still did it.
After today, he Changshan Zhao Zilong is an invincible legend.
Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei previously felt that Zhao Yun's strength was at most between the best and the best, and even inferior. At this time, the comparison in their hearts was thinking about whether they could beat Zhao Yun.
It's a matter of mentality.
No matter how strong a warrior is, in the face of tens of thousands of troops, whether he can have the courage to fight it alone is the criterion for distinguishing whether a warrior is invincible in the world or not. Under the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu alone blocked the princes of the Eighteen Roads outside the pass, which is the invincible momentum of the world; Today, under the city of Xiapi, Zhao Zilong alone attacked tens of thousands of Cao troops, making Cao Cao have to flee in embarrassment, which is also the invincible courage of the world.
Ask yourself, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still lack such courage.
It's not that they can't do it, it's that the time hasn't come.
In other words, when Zhao Yun entered the city today, he was almost shot in the back.
At that time, there were still many Cao troops surrounding the city wall, and it was naturally impossible for Zhao Yun to enter the city through the city gate.
After killing some of the Cao Jun who were in the way, Zhao Yun approached the city wall, and then jumped directly, inserting two spears on the city wall halfway, and Zhao Yun jumped onto the city wall in three or two steps.
Xia Pi City is less than three long high, and a Condensing Gang Realm martial artist can easily jump on it.
However, in the process of Zhao Yun jumping onto the city wall, some people in Cao Jun, who was chasing behind, felt that they could pick up the leak, so they mobilized a few bed crossbows, and aimed at Zhao Yun who was jumping. At that time, Zhao Yun was in the air, and he had nowhere to hide, and he couldn't block it.
Fortunately, Guan Yu made a timely move, and cut down all the crossbow arrows with one sword, and Zhao Yun was able to jump onto the city wall.
……
"Zilong, good job!"
After the wounds on Zhao Yun's body were treated, Zhang Fei leaned over and said enviously.
Zhang Fei's strength is actually not weaker than Zhao Zilong's, but he lacks an opportunity, an opportunity to fight thousands of troops alone. And today, Zhao Zilong seized this opportunity and became famous.
It is foreseeable that after today, the legend of Zhao Zilong will be spread in the world.
"Yes, Cao Cao retreated today, and the whole battle Zilong is invincible!" Liu Bei also smiled.
Of course, Liu Bei was laughing bitterly at this time.
Although, today's siege, Cao Cao gave up halfway, but what about tomorrow?
Relying on the Condensation Realm martial artists to rush into battle is not always successful.
What's more, after today, Cao Cao must be prepared for this situation.
"My lord, Zhao Yun has the trust of my lord, and I failed to invite Mr. Kong Ming."
Seeing the lord, Zhao Yun said with a little shame.
"What, Zhuge Kongming's original promise was that he couldn't fart?" Guan Yu touched his beard and asked unhappily.
Although Liu Bei didn't ask, he was also a little unhappy. You Zhuge Liang promised at the beginning, after our Lao Liu escaped from Xuchang, as long as he went to Longzhong to ask you to go out of the mountain, you Zhuge Liang would go out of the mountain to help, how can you regret it today?
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "On that day, when the last general met Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. only said that the time had not come. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was a little stabbed.
"When is the time?"
"Could it be true that after we take refuge in Yuan Shao, the so-called time has come?"
There are some words that Liu Bei is not easy to ask, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu will not take care of these.
Zhao Yun said: "Mr. Kong Ming didn't say the original. However, Mr.'s friend Pang Shiyuan, he told the reason. Pang Shiyuan said that although the lord won Xuzhou, he could not hold Xuzhou. Before Mr. Kong Ming came out of the mountain, the lord would be defeated by Cao Cao. ”
This is what Zhao Yun himself summed up.
What Pang Tong said at the time was definitely not like this, but isn't that what Pang Tong meant?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, shocked in their hearts, and a little scared.
Liu Bei also gasped in his heart.
He Liu Bei was full of ambition, and when he recaptured Xuzhou and was about to fight with Cao **, Pang Shiyuan, who was thousands of miles away, and Zhuge Kongming, actually decided that he Liu Bei would be defeated, and he was defeated quickly. Sure enough, Zhao Zilong has not returned, and Peicheng and Xuzhou City have fallen one after another. Then, if it weren't for Zhao Zilong today, I'm afraid that Picheng would have fallen a long time ago.
"Strategizing in the strategic, winning thousands of miles away."
At this moment, Liu Bei only thought of such a sentence.
At this moment, Liu Guanzhang, the third brother, finally saw the "power" of the strategist!
……
After a long time, Guan Yu asked, "Who is Pang Shiyuan?" ”
can easily assert success or failure, it is impossible for Guan Yu not to be curious, of course, Guan Yu is more wary. Then what kind of Pang Shiyuan has such talent, wouldn't it be easy to dig a pit and bury the three brothers?
Zhao Yun thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Kong Ming said, 'Sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, you can settle the world with one'." And that Pang Shiyuan is Feng Xiao, a friend of Mr. Kong Ming. ”
Wolong and phoenix chicks, can you settle the world with one?
Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't think they were bragging at this time.
Sitting in the grass house, laughing about success or failure, he concluded his Liu Bei's defeat in a word, how could it be bragging?
Liu Bei paced around in the city gate tower, with some remorse: "It's hateful, it's a pity that I almost missed the two great sages!" ”
"No, I have to go to Longzhong in person, and ask Mr. Kong Ming, as well as that phoenix chick, to go out of the mountain to help!"
After standing still, Liu Bei said firmly.
Saying that, Liu Bei seemed to be ready to go down to the city, as if he was going to Longzhong.
"Big brother, do you really want to go to Longzhong in person?" Guan Yu stopped and asked.
Liu Bei turned around and asked, "Second brother, third brother, what do you think, how does Mr. Kong Ming compare to Chen Deng?" ”
"Ten times, a hundred times more!" Guan Yu replied.
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Chen Deng's casual layout can make us die for a lifetime." If we can ask Kong Ming and Pang Shiyuan to help, why worry that the Han can't prosper, why should we be chased and killed by Cao Cao like now? ”
Zhang Fei snorted: "But, but, didn't Zilong say just now, Mr. Kong Ming said that the time for him to go out of the mountain has not yet come." ”
Liu Bei shook his head: "It's not that the time has not come, but that our etiquette is at a loss." ”
"The real great sage, if the master is not personal, how can he be invited?"
"For example, King Wen invited Jiang Shang, King Qin invited Shang Ying, and Gaozu invited Han Xin, which one of them didn't come in person to invite these great sages?"
Zhao Yun praised at this time: "The lord went to invite him personally, presumably Mr. Kong Ming would not be able to shirk it." ”
"It's just, what should I do in Xiapi City?"
How to settle in Xiapi City?
Liu Bei really didn't think about it at this time.
However, since they are going to Longzhong in person, why not lose this Xiapi City, which is about to be broken, to Cao Cao?
"Tonight, let's pack some bags, don't need food and grass, just take the soldiers and horses and family members out of the city, and go straight to Longzhong, this Pi Xiaocheng, just throw it to Cao Cao!" Liu Bei said decisively.
