I looked down on Liu Bei in my heart, but I couldn't say that on my lips, Cao Cao persuaded: "Xuande, there is no need to worry, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, this is nothing. . . ”

"Shame on your duty." Liu Bei repeatedly sued for the crime.

After a pause, Liu Bei said again, "Duke Cao sent troops to help, and he was grateful for his humble duties, all of which were the fault of his humble duties. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, pretending to be generous and said, "Forget it, it's all over, don't mention it again, Xuande rest assured, the old man will send troops to Xuzhou in the near future, and he will definitely avenge you." ”

"If Cao Gong comes forward in person, Lu Bu will definitely not be an opponent." Liu Bei hurriedly flattered.

Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten the wretched qi he had eaten at Zhang Xiu's place, and immediately laughed, "Although Xuande is relieved, Lu Bu, the old man is as easy as a finger." ”

With Chen Deng's dark chess, Cao Cao's confidence doubled, and with Liu Bei's praise, Cao Cao's heart was also a little fluttering.

After a while, he saw Zhang Fei and Guan Yu again, and Cao Cao looked at these two people more and more, envious and jealous.

Cao Cao thought to himself, what kind of virtue does Liu Bei have, he has been adrift all his life, has been defeated repeatedly, and has been tossed for so long, and now he doesn't even have a place to stand, but why is there such a tiger general by his side who has been following him unabandoningly.

Moreover, Liu Bei's subordinates are all dignified and extraordinary, Cao Cao looked back, and then looked at his subordinates, and felt very uncomfortable.

The first one is forbidden, and Lao Cheng is a one-man general, but his appearance is mediocre, his behavior is restrained, and he is more depressed than a literati;

The second Cao Hong, a brave general, but not to mention his appearance, he is five feet tall, his facial features are compact, and he is almost squeezed together;

The third Zhu Ling, who is brave and resourceful, loyal and commendable, always stares at a pair of big eyes, and always has a jaw that covers the sky, always playing with people, let alone in the future...... Tall, short, short, chubby, skinny, all grimacing.

Cao Chun Ren Jun is not bad, Xiahou Tang originally looked good, but since he was blind in one eye, his appearance has become very scary, Cao Cao sighed, turned his head and saw Xu Chu behind him, this is not to mention, he is like a ghost in broad daylight.

Look at the people around Liu Bei, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Chen Zhi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, they are all first-class appearances, either elegant and elegant, or heroic and upright, especially Liu Bei himself, Cao Cao is more and more envious.

Cao Cao was born strong, but his appearance was born shorter than others, he used to be with Yuan Shao, for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was called an envy in his heart, and now he met Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's appearance was not lost to Yuan Shao at all.

After staying in Xu for too long, Cao Cao gathered his men and embarked on another journey to the east.

……

There was nothing to say all the way, and in less than three days, Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were stationed in Jiangxia, and Kuai Yue also rushed to Jiangxia in person.

That night, Kuai Yue invited Zhang Xiu to come, set up a banquet for wine, and gave a good comfort, Zhang Xiu knew Kuai Yue's intentions under Xu Shu's point, although the wine and food were rich, Kuai Yue was cunning, this was to let Zhang Xiu work hard for him, eat and drink enough to be obedient to him.

It's like a farmer's livestock, well-fed and well-fed.

Zhang Xiu pretended to be grateful, and generously expressed his attitude during the banquet, "I was taken in by the lord, so that I can have a place to live in Jingzhou, over the years, the lord has treated me well, and now Sun Ce is coming, and he should do his best to serve the field and solve problems for the lord." ”

In the turn of the day, all 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers went out of the city and set up a formation outside the city, with 5,000 men and horses in front of the team, and Zhang Xiu was the second echelon, following behind Kuaiyue.

The 30,000-strong army was covered with flags, swords and spears flashed, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, the archers were guarding the left and right, and the drummers stood and cheered, forming an indestructible formation.

A murderous aura rose into the sky, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, and the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

Zhao Yun stayed behind Guan Hai, on the left and right sides, with Tai Shici on one side and Wu Anguo on the other.

Tai Shi Ci leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "I thought that Kuai Yue would put us in the front, but unexpectedly, he put us in the second echelon." ”

Zhao Yundao "Kuai Yue is resourceful and thoughtful, he must have a deep meaning in doing this, first of all, Zhang Xiu came from afar, only five or six thousand people, as the commander of the three armies, Kuai Yue naturally has to show generosity, if Zhang Xiu is directly put in the front, the purpose is too obvious, he is also afraid that Zhang Xiu will be suspicious; In addition, Zhang Xiu is sandwiched in the middle, but also in case Zhang Xiu does not work hard, once the time comes, launch a charge, we will follow the flow of the army to rush forward, even if we don't want to rush, the team behind will force us to rush forward. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded, "That's right, Kuai Yue must have thought so, but he made a mistake." ”

Zhao Yun smiled mysteriously, "He thinks that if we are arranged in the middle, we will charge with the large army, but he doesn't know that we are just stuck in the middle of them, so that it will be difficult for the Jingzhou soldiers to take care of the end at that time, and Kuai Yue will definitely reap the consequences." ”

Sun Ce's side also set up a formation, more than 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers with bright armor, banners flying, Sun Ce straddled the horse and held a gun, and stood at the front of the team, Zhou Yu on the left, and Sun Quan on the right.

Huang Gai, Chen Wu, Ling Tong, Ling Cao, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai...... All of them are majestic and murderous, and the Jiangdong soldiers are energetic and majestic, although the number of people is less than 10,000 on Kuaiyue's side, the momentum is not inferior.

The generals on Sun Ce's side are all very young, except for Huang Gai Chengpu, most of them are around twenty, these people are full of fighting spirit and energy, and they are bound to roll up an unstoppable storm of youth on the battlefield.

"Big brother, it's better to be careful, I always feel that Zhao Yun is scheming and may not be trustworthy."

Sun Quan frowned and reminded loudly.

Sun Ce received a secret letter from Zhao Yun last night, and after Sun Ce read the letter, he laughed heartily and gathered all the soldiers in one go, even the soldiers and horses left behind on the riverside.

Sun Quan had a lot of complaints about Sun Ce's arrangement, so desperate that he put all the bets on Zhao Yun, Sun Quan felt that it was too risky.

Sun Ce's face was displeased, and he glanced at Sun Quan with a little reproach, "Zhongmou, how can you think so, Zhao Yun is a righteous gentleman, upright and heroic, and treats people with sincerity, will he harm me?" Don't forget, he and Kuai Yue also have a deep hatred like the sea, his father was killed in the past, and Zhao Yun was also dead, now is the opportunity for us to work together to take revenge. ”

Sun Quan had no choice but to keep silent, but Zhou Yu smiled lightly, full of confidence, "Bo Fu, Zhong Mou, you two can rest assured, this battle will undoubtedly be won, and Jiang Xia is also within reach." ”
