Besides, Hu Zhen didn't know if Sun Jian behind him would come to chase him, nor did he know how many people he would send to chase him, and he didn't know when Sun Jian would catch up. Therefore, Hu Zhen did not dare to stay at all.

But Hu Zhen's entire army, including himself, was tired and wanted to die, and he couldn't afford to send troops to fight and fight a bloody way, so he just confronted Liu Bei here.

"Brother, why don't you attack immediately, don't you let the thieves go again." Zhang Fei personally rushed back to the Chinese army and asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said: "Brother Xian, do you know when people are the most tired? ”

Zhang Fei said: "I look at Hu Zhen's department, and I'm already very tired now. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but smile, when he crossed over, when he watched the basketball game, those coaches who were young players under his command would often call a timeout at the end, the most intense, and the most critical time of the game. This pause is to do nothing, just let the opponent's veteran players cool down from the competitive state, and the body is extremely tired all of a sudden.

"Brother Xian, if you try it yourself in the future, you will know that when people are most tired, it is not when they exercise vigorously, but after strenuous exercise, take a little rest, and that is the most tired time." Liu Bei smiled, but that smile, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel cunning, as if it was a fox who stole a chicken, "Go back to the front army and lead the troops," Liu Bei said: "I will give the order to attack in a while, and I will ask the virtuous brother to charge into battle." ”

……

"Is this Hu Zhen's head?"

Looking at the human head sent by Zhang Fei in front of him, Liu Bei asked. As the time of crossing is getting longer and longer, Liu Bei's heart is getting harder and harder, and it doesn't matter if he looks at the head or something, it doesn't matter at all.

In the battle just now, Liu Bei waited for Hu Zhen's department to rest for a while, and then beat the drum and marched into the army.

However, after a short rest, everyone's hands and feet were almost numb, and where there was still the power to resist, no matter how much the officers at all levels agitated, they could not raise the spirit to resist.

Therefore, after being attacked by Liu Bei with soldiers and horses, the men and horses under Hu Zhen's command had almost no ability to resist, and they were killed by Liu Bei's troops without leaving a piece of armor, and there was no one who even fled.

And Liu Bei's Qingzhou army still attacked according to the training on weekdays. First, the archers in the back row were mighty, and when a rain of arrows fell, they couldn't raise their heads. Subsequently, the pikemen in front of him came down with a surprise attack and broke up the Hu Zhen troops. Then, the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward to mend their swords and behead them, contain the prisoners, and even capture Hu Zhen alive.

The Qingzhou army just dispatched the front army, and lost the defeat of Hu Zhen's troops, and captured Hu Zhensheng alive, Liu Bei was also lazy to see Hu Zhen, and directly asked Hu Zhen to cut off his head and take Hu Zhen's first order to surrender.

After defeating the largest group of troops led by Hu Zhen in front of him, Liu Bei ordered his subordinates to advance and march towards Taigu Pass.

Liu Bei first sent a large group of cavalry to do reconnaissance cavalry, which is called "hard detective" in military terms. Along the way, Liu Bei captured all the defeated soldiers left behind by Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, who had already lost their organization, and they were sleepy and lacking horses, and they were captured by Liu Bei's Qingzhou army with almost no resistance.

Liu Bei ordered that the Qianghu and Xiongnu who were defeated should all be picked out and beheaded for public display. The Han soldiers under Hu and Lü were also singled out and killed, so that the soldiers would not be around them and form a group, even ordinary soldiers, who could not be completely pardoned, and all of them were used as coolies.

This practice of treating the Hu and Han soldiers under Dong Zhuojun's command separately, treating the Han military merits and soldiers separately, and treating ordinary soldiers as coolies, is also aimed at recovering this group of soldiers. These soldiers are all elite soldiers from Bingzhou and Liangzhou, which are very rare, and if they can all be recovered, they will also bring an elite cavalry to Liu Bei.

Brainwashing is not just preaching, Dr. Goebel once said, "A lie repeated a thousand times is the truth," but only if there is a Gestapo who blocks out all other voices. Punishment is also essential for the brainwashed audience, because making the audience feel scared is also a necessary condition for the brainwashing to be successful. Only when everyone feels fear, will they feel pressure, and with pressure, they will have motivation, and they will actively move closer to the Qingzhou Army and Liu Bei and be loyal.

Along the way, Liu Bei not only captured a lot of Hu Zhen and Lu Bu's defeated soldiers, but also collected a lot of horses, many of these horses were scrapped, and they could only be killed and eaten for meat, but there are still many horses that can be used if they are raised, some can be used as war horses, some can't be war horses, or can be used as ploughing horses.

Waiting for Liu Bei to lead the army, to Taigu Pass, Sun Jian was attacking the city, in order not to let Sun Jian misunderstand, Liu Bei first sent a messenger, saying that he had already brought troops to arrive, if Sun Jian had time, he invited Sun Jian to come to meet and discuss the plan to break the enemy.

After Sun Jian defeated Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, he began to attack Taigu Pass again, but he failed to capture it for a while.

Seeing that Sun Jian came to Liu Bei's military camp without any suspicion, Liu Bei felt a trace of guilt again, saying that Liu Bei was not wary of Sun Jian, although he did not have the intention of harming others, but the heart of defending people was sufficient. Who let Sun Jian have a history of killing the allies, Liu Bei didn't want to be like those two unlucky Jingzhou assassins and Nanyang Taishou.

Fortunately, Sun Jian was bold and was not afraid that Liu Bei would harm him, otherwise Liu Bei and Sun Jian would not have been able to fight together.

When Sun Jian came to Liu Bei's camp, he immediately smelled the smell of meat, but it was Liu Bei's army, who was killing horses and eating meat, and a horse had hundreds or thousands of catties of meat, enough for two hundred soldiers to have a full meal. Although horse meat is a bit rough, the conditions in this era are difficult, and being able to eat horse meat has greatly improved the food.

The same is true for Sun Jian and Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Liu Bei both take the civilian route, and unlike the kind of generals from a family of gatekeepers, they all have to lead by example in the army, and they eat and drink the same standard as the soldiers everywhere. They all pay attention to a husband who does not eat, and he does not eat. If you don't sleep, you can't sleep. If one does not drink, he will not drink. makes a look of loving soldiers like a son, and naturally can't eat and drink. Therefore, the two of them also ate horse meat very fragrantly.

Even Sun Jian asked Liu Bei for some wounded horses and dead horses, saying that he wanted to reward the officers and soldiers in the army. Liu Bei was not stingy, and very generously gave Sun Jian 300 injured horses and 300 dead horses. Sun Jian thanked him with great joy.

Liu Bei was really polite, it was obviously Sun Jian who fought hard, so Liu Bei picked up a bargain, gave Sun Jian hundreds of injured horses and dead horses, and sent Sun Jian away.

After eating and drinking, Sun Jian discussed with Liu Bei how to attack Taigu Pass, and asked: "Xuande Gong, is there any good plan to break this strong city." ”
