In the dark night, a meteor fell, leaving a beautiful arc and dazzling brilliance.
Outside Xiapi City, Zhen Yao watched the sky at night, and happened to see this short-lived meteor, and he was startled when he was unexpectedly, and he was busy pinching his fingers, and he was even more furious.
Second brother!
The second brother died like this!
At this moment, time and space seemed to freeze, and the past between the three brothers was vivid, that kind of love, that kind of love, like a surging river bursting its embankment, was out of control in an instant.
Zhen Yao knelt on the ground with a puff, raised his head suddenly, and raised his head to the sky and roared: "No!! ”
Two lines of tears, snatching out of the eyes!
Saddened! Distressed! Resentment! Fury!
Rumble!
A handful of sky-high anger burned Zhen Yao's stomach full of resentment, his eyebrows tightened, his eyes were concentrated, the two rows of Hao teeth clenched up and down, kept gnashing his teeth, his hands were on the ground, and his ten fingers were violently clasped on the ground, leaving ten clearly visible lines, and the moment he lowered his head, tears slipped quietly.
Zhen Yao got up little by little, raised his head again, and the expression in his eyes had changed dramatically, and there was a cold killing intent.
********************
The fire is all over the sky in Xiapi City, what is the battle situation? Zhen Yu didn't know, but he always had a bad feeling, which made him very flustered, unprecedentedly flustered!
This may be the reason for the deep brotherhood!
"Strategist! Look! The young marshal is back. The reinforcements in the forest suddenly pointed ahead, looked back and said to Zhen Yu.
Zhen Yu hurriedly looked forward, but when he saw a single person riding alone, he looked embarrassed, and he must have been ambushed by Liu Bei without words, but after looking around, he was alone with his second brother Zhen Yan.
"Young marshal! Young marshal! ”
Zhen Yu waved his hand to greet Yuan Xi, and gave a look to the soldiers beside him, ordering him to go and answer.
Yuan Xi had long since lost his pre-war ambitions and had been replaced by unkempt. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and his expression was almost overwhelmed and confused.
Zhen Yu stepped forward. Holding Yuan Xi with both hands, he said hurriedly: "Young marshal!" What about my second brother? ”
Second brother
Zhen Yan
Yuan Xi turned around at this time, staring at Zhen Yu with dull eyes, tears seemed to roll in his eyes, and he grabbed Zhen Yu's hands with one hand. Crying: "Brother Zhen! Second Brother Zhen, Second Brother Zhen, Second Brother He"
Zhen Yu is even more anxious!
Holding Yuan Xi's shoulders with both hands, he shook suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he had guessed the ending, but he couldn't believe it!
"What happened to my second brother!! Young marshal! You mean! ”
Woohoo! Woohoo!
Yuan Xi gasped heavily, waved his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said loudly: "Second Brother Zhen! He died at the hands of that butcher to save me! ”
Zhen Yu was stunned, his hands left Yuan Xi's shoulders, and he sat on the ground. Although he had already guessed the ending, the moment the news came out of Yuan Xi's mouth, Zhen Yu couldn't help but shed tears!
Yuan Xi was a little afraid, he also hated Zhang Fei to death, hated Liu Bei to death, and hated Zhang He even more!
At this time, Yuan Xi was already full of anger, and the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, that is, there are clear grievances, and revenge will be avenged! Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Zhang He! These names appeared again and again in Yuan Xi's heart, and hatred had surrounded Yuan Xi.
"Big-eared thief!! Don't kill you. I Yuan Xi swears not to be a person!! ”
Yuan Xi finally stood up and roared wildly on his back, the sound was earth-shattering and crying, stretching for thousands of miles. Soar into the sky.
Hearing this, Zhen Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears, knelt on one knee, and bowed: "I implore the young marshal to send troops to Xiapi, kill Liu Bei, and kill Zhang Fei." Kill Zhang He, kill everything, and avenge my second brother! ”
Although Yuan Xi was newly defeated and was carried away by anger for a while, after venting this anger in the form of a shout, his consciousness came to his senses again.
Hearing Zhen Yu's request, Yuan Xi hurriedly helped Zhen Yu up and said, "Brother Zhen! At this time, I am waiting for a new defeat and low morale, so this matter will be discussed tomorrow. ”
Zhen Yu arched his hand again, and said impressively: "The young marshal has already attacked Xuzhou once at night!" Then Liu Bei would never have thought that there would be a night attack after the night attack! This is the perfect fighter! ”
That Yuan Xi can be regarded as a rough art of war, and he also has his own understanding of the phrase "soldiers, treacherous ways", Zhen Yu's words can't help but Yuan Xi suddenly realized, and couldn't help nodding his head and saying good.
"The three armies obey the order! Half an hour later, go all out to attack Xiapi! Avenge the death of your brothers!! ”
The three armies shouted in unison: "Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”
*****************************
In Xiapi City, the firelight was all over the sky, and the crackling sound was non-stop.
The battle has ended, and Liu Bei's army is cleaning up the battlefield, counting casualties, and rationally arranging prisoners.
Liu Bei stood on top of the city, staring at the busy soldiers under the city, motionless, as if in a daze.
Today's defeat to Yuan Xi in a battle, presumably Zhang He's identity will be revealed, then Yuan Xi is a character who must be retribution, there will definitely be a new round of attacks, and the next few days will be the really difficult days.
Looking up at the sky, he secretly said to himself: "Yuan Long! Whether we can survive or not is up to you! ”
I don't know when, Mi Zhu came behind him, leaned over and said, "Lord!" In this defeat, Yuan Xi killed a total of 1,000 enemies and captured 3,000 people. ”
Liu Bei just nodded, didn't turn back, and asked again: "How many men and horses did our side lose?" ”
Mi Zhu said: "Our losses are less than fifty people, but there are not many bows and crossbows and rolling logs left. ”
After this battle, Liu Bei had some general understanding of the situation on his side, the strength was less than 2,500 people, there were few defensive equipment left, and there were a lot of prisoners, roughly estimated to be about 7,000 people.
After a moment of silence, Liu Bei let out a long breath and said indifferently: "Zizhong! Tell Ma Zhong that the captives will stay if they want to stay, and let them go home if they don't want to stay. ”
"This"
Mi Zhu was shocked: "If you let these captives go home, they will vote for Yuan Xi again, wouldn't this help the thieves?" If the Yuan thief raises an army to attack Xiapi again, how can we stop it? ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Even if you keep these captives, can you make them fight the Yuan thieves with all their might?" If it is on the verge of defection. Isn't it self-defeating? ”
Mi Zhu still insisted on his own point of view, and tried to persuade Liu Bei: "Xiapi prison is big enough, we can place the prisoners there, and it will not be too late to release them after the war!" ”
hehe
Liu Bei laughed helplessly. Turning his head, he said, "How long do we have enough food to eat?" ”
Mi Zhu blurted out: "Enough for more than a month!" ”
Liu Bei asked again: "What about the prisoners?" ”
"This"
Mi Zhu was a little embarrassed to speak, and was silent for a moment, and bowed his hand and said, "Lord! I know what to do, please rest assured. I will do a good job in this matter and never let the lord down. ”
"Hmmm! Go ahead. ”
As soon as Mi Zhu walked on the front foot, Yuan Tan came on the back foot.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said aggressively: "Big-eared thief! How dare you play with me! It's shameless! ”
Liu Bei faced Yuan Tan and let out a cruel laugh and said, "Shameless!?" I Liu Bei thinks that I have a clear conscience in my actions, so how can I say that I am shameless? It's better than some people borrowing knives to kill people. ”
Although the killing of Yuan Xi was secretly instructed by Yuan Tan to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also vague at the beginning, pretending to agree, which led to today's good show.
But Liu Bei deliberately didn't kill Yuan Xi, this move really made Yuan Tan resentful!
Yuan Tan had a kind of deception in his heart. The feeling of being deceived, so he came to Liu Bei to settle the score.
But like this kind of conspiracy to kill people with a knife, how can Yuan Tan put it on the table and say, if it is shameless to say that Liu Bei has backtracked, then how should he Yuan Tan comment on killing people with a knife?
Yuan Tan had no choice but to suffer a dumb loss!
"If you don't kill Yuan Xi today, then he will make a comeback tomorrow, and then see what other means you have! Hum! ”
Liu Bei smiled indifferently, looking very indifferent, and turned around to face the distance again. said: "With you Yuan Dagongzi by your side, it is not enough to worry about this little life at all." ”
At this time, Yuan Tan not only needed to be attached to Liu Bei, but also needed to use Liu Bei, so he couldn't do without Liu Bei. And what about Liu Bei? It's not so easy to control. Yuan Tan's little caution was just a drizzle for him, and it was not enough to worry about it at all.
If the relationship between the two is so unbalanced, then there will be situations like this! One side is obviously bullying the other, while the other side has nothing to say and has to accept it patiently.
At the right time. Mi Zhu led a group of Yuan family soldiers to the city gate, and the soldiers knelt down one after another to express their high respect for Liu Bei's magnanimity.
"Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent, righteous and kind, and our brothers will definitely remember it in our hearts, and we will never oppose Uncle Liu's army in the future."
"My family has a seventy-year-old mother, and a daughter-in-law who has just started, and the daughter-in-law still has a big belly, if it weren't for the emperor's uncle to let me go home, it is likely that I would not even be able to see my child for the last time."
"Brothers! Quickly kowtow to our benefactor! ”
“”
At this time, Mi Zhu walked up to the city and said in his ear: "Lord! Let's get the word out like that, okay? ”
Liu Bei just smiled knowingly, secretly stretched out his thumb and praised it, then poked his head out and said loudly: "I am the uncle of the Han Emperor!" It is a courtier of the Han family, and you are all the people of the Han family, and I, Liu Bei, swear today that I will never kill a prisoner! ”
Thousands of Yuan troops under the city immediately shouted long live! The loudness of the sound resounded in the sky, shaking the whole Xiapi!
Liu Bei waved his hand and said indifferently: "Go back quickly!" ”
Yuan Tan on the side didn't understand Liu Bei's approach, he thought that Liu Bei was just a hypocrite greedy for fame and fortune, the current situation was so tense, and the number of troops was too short, and letting the prisoners go home at this time was not to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Yuan Tan pulled Liu Bei and asked, "Liu Bei!" How many men do you have? Can you stop Yuan Xi's army? Now put the captives back, don't you want to live? ”
Liu Bei ignored Yuan Tan at all, and didn't need to explain anything to Yuan Tan, just glanced at it and dropped a sentence: "I'm willing!" ”
And after Zhang He, who came with the army, saw this scene, he strengthened his belief in his heart even more, but there was a voice and a force that kept dragging him, making him unable to open his legs and make a decision. (To be continued.) )
