Chapter 340, Liu Bei was defeated again
Guan Hai was a little proud, "Yes, I learned that Cao Cao sent troops to Wancheng, and he was fighting with you, we together, we must not let Cao Cao take advantage, who doesn't know that Cao Cao is ruthless, he killed so many of our Yellow Turban brothers at the beginning, and the Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou is even more inhumane and wanton slaughter of the city, if he is allowed to win the battle, he will definitely not spare us when he turns back." This did not take advantage of the time when they returned to the army to cross the river, we hit them in an ambush again, which Cheng thought, Cao Jun is really good, we have injured a lot of brothers, the soldiers died, walking, the original nearly 20,000 people, now only we are 2,000 left, the general rest assured, don't look at us these people are all mud legs, none of them are bad seeds. ”
Zhang Xiu said, "So, if you see Cao Cao again, do you dare to fight with him?" ”
"Of course, what is there to be afraid of, the head has a big scar, and twenty years later, he will be a good man." Guan Hai shook his head and said nonchalantly.
"Okay, it's all good, in that case, I'll keep you."
Zhang Xiu thought to herself, no wonder they were so embarrassed, it turned out that they had just fought with Cao Cao, and after understanding what had happened, Zhang Xiu waved his hand and left these people behind.
Xu Shu also pretended to remind, "General, so many people suddenly come to vote, be careful of fraud." ”
Zhang Xiu shook his head, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, besides, if they hadn't cut off Cao Cao's grain channel, how could Cao Cao have withdrawn so quickly." ”
Zhang Xiu's troops, when they were full, were less than 4,000, and 2,000 people came at once, so they were naturally very happy, and when they returned to the house, they asked people to put down the banquet again, and called Guan Hai to drink together.
Guan Hai was originally the leader of the Yellow Turban, and letting him pretend to be the leader of the Yellow Turban was performing in his true colors, which would not arouse Zhang Xiu's suspicion at all.
This banquet was drunk until the second half of the night, Guan Hai was drunk, Xu Shu personally led someone to send him to the camp, I wanted to ask him where Zhao Yun was, Guan Hai was drunk and became a puddle of mud.
Xu Shu pretended to patrol the camp and kept circling around the camp.
"General."
Suddenly, someone behind him called him, Xu Shu hurriedly turned around, this voice was a little familiar.
When he turned around, there was a sturdy lieutenant standing behind him, his appearance was quite upright, but his face was dirty and he had a beard, Xu Shu looked at it several times, and he was not impressed at all.
The lieutenant waved his hand at him, and walked into a tent first.
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and followed in curiously.
"Yuan Zhi, don't come for a few days, don't come unharmed."
This time, Xu Shu heard it clearly, it was Zhao Yun's voice.
"Lord, is it really you?" Xu Shu was pleasantly surprised.
Seeing Zhao Yun nodding, Xu Shu hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down, "See the lord for his humble duties." ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly helped him up, "Yuan Zhi, don't be formal, this is Zhang Xiu's camp after all, it's better to be careful." ”
Xu Shu was excited, nodded hurriedly, and looked at Zhao Yun without blinking, "Lord, you have suffered, Yuan Zhi really didn't expect that you would come to Wancheng in person." ”
Zhao Yun smiled, "Don't worry, Zhang Xiu's troops are not necessarily much more than mine now, even if he sees through it, what can he do to me?" ”
Don't look at the two thousand people brought in, they look messy at first glance, but they were carefully selected by Zhao Yun.
After a while, Zhang Ning, Tong Fei, Tai Shici, and Wu Anguo also arrived.
There are people guarding the outside to avoid being overheard and revealing secrets.
Zhao Yundao: "Sun Ce has already sent troops, Yuan Zhi should have gotten the news, right?" ”
"Just got it."
Seeing Zhao Yun with a smile on his face, Xu Shu was suddenly startled, "Lord, is this matter related to you?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded, "Yes, I wrote to ask Sun Ce to send troops, now is the opportunity, first, Cao Cao has just withdrawn from the army, and he will not send troops south for a while; Both, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, Cao Cao had to turn his attention to Lu Bu, and I brought troops to vote, and I had sent people to Xiangyang to spread the news before coming, Zhang Xiu got so many people at once, Liu Biao must be dissatisfied, and at this time, Sun Ce sent troops, just giving us a chance. ”
Xu Shu understood it at a glance, "I understand, I have received a letter from the military advisor not long ago." ”
After waiting patiently for a few days, Sun Ce lived up to expectations, fought successively, and the offensive was quite fierce, and he was about to take Jiangxia.
Xu Shu found Zhang Xiu again, "General, the opportunity has come." ”
"What do you want to do, sir?"
Xu Shu had already made a bamboo in his chest, and immediately talked eloquently, "Liu Biao now knows that we have just increased our strength by 2,000 troops, and he must be dissatisfied in his heart, it just so happens that the war in Jiangxia is tight, so it is better for us to take the initiative to ask for orders to fight against Sun Ce, I think Liu Biao will not refuse this request." ”
"Okay, just do it."
Zhang Xiu nodded, and clapped her hands together.
Zhang Xiu immediately sent someone to Xiangyang, this will Liu Biao is worried because Sun Ce raised troops to make a mistake, Zhang Xiu took the initiative to ask for help, which is in Liu Biao's arms, Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army, for Liu Biao, Sun Ce has become the top priority at the moment.
What's more, he is not very relieved about Zhang Xiu, I wish that Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses could be put into the battlefield and consume it well, even if Zhang Xiu's entire army is destroyed, it is not a bad thing for Liu Biao.
discussed with Cai Maokuiyue, and both of them strongly agreed.
In particular, Kuai Yue immediately proposed to Liu Biao that Zhang Xiu's men and horses should be placed on the front line of the fiercest fighting.
Liu Biao immediately sent an envoy to Wancheng to convey Liu Biao's order, and asked Zhang Xiu to quickly move troops to Jiangxia.
Zhang Xiu gathered the soldiers and horses together, a total of 6,000 people, and in order to confuse Liu Biao, he deliberately left more than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in Wancheng.
If everyone is taken away at once, Liu Biao will definitely be suspicious.
Even so, Liu Biao was still not very relieved, when Zhang Xiu's men passed by Xiangyang, Liu Biao ordered people to guard strictly and close the four doors, for fear that Zhang Xiu would suddenly turn against him and plot to seize Xiangyang.
At the same time when Zhang Xiu moved troops to Jiangxia, Cao Cao's side, Xiahoudun also suffered defeat, although he sent reinforcements, but still failed to change the situation of Liu Bei's defeat, Xiahoudun took Liu Guanzhang back to Xudu together.
The huge Xuzhou all fell into the hands of Lu Bu.
Cao Cao dealt with the things around him, and immediately met Liu Bei, who had just suffered a defeat and escaped death, looking very embarrassed.
Cao Cao comforted a few words, then patiently asked what happened, and only after asking did he know that it was almost the same as the last time he lost, last time it was Zhang Fei who drank and misunderstood, killed Cao Bao, and gave Lu Bu a chance, this time it was Zhang Fei who robbed Lu Bu's military horse and angered Lu Bu for no reason.
Liu Bei lowered his head and sighed, standing respectfully in front of Cao Cao, like a schoolboy who had done something wrong.
Cao Cao secretly sneered in his heart, "This Liu Bei has a dignified appearance and a good temperament, I can't imagine that the commander of the army is so unbearable, obviously he is not Lu Bu's opponent, but he is not at ease at all, he has to deliberately provoke him, he really doesn't have a long memory at all." ”
