Chapter 469: Helpless Zhuge Liang
Guan Yu's return suddenly boosted the morale of the soldiers in Linjiang City, and Liu Bei was even more upbeat than ever, personally led the army out of the city, met Guan Yu, and prepared to attack Guan Yu before and after to defeat the invasion of the enemy.
"Hmph, the first battle of Chibi, our army suffered heavy losses, nearly 100,000 casualties, more than 50 generals, even Fu Wei was killed in battle, it can be said that it is the heaviest loss in my life, if it is not for the return of the second brother, even if I can barely defeat Sun Quan Xiao'er, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any ambition in this life, and now the return of the second brother makes my life full of hope again, when the three of us brothers fought a country with bare hands, not to mention that there is still a land of beneficial states, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and millions of people? Sun Quan, what you did to me before, I must double it back! ”
Liu Bei unfolded the double-strand sword in his hand and personally charged forward, and when the soldiers under his command saw this, their morale suddenly soared, and they reached the peak in just an instant, and they all rushed up with a roar, and launched a desperate fight with the enemy.
"Big brother, third brother!" Seeing Liu Bei and Zhang Fei leading the crowd to kill from a distance, Guan Yu's tiger eyes were filled with tears, and he immediately rushed up, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand was even more murderous, and he had already killed hundreds of enemy soldiers in a moment.
"Second brother, second brother, roar ......."
Seeing Guan Yu approaching, Zhang Fei was also very excited, and roared under great joy, his roar was different from the ordinary, because he himself had the skill of "Heaven-shaking Roar", the performance of this skill requires very harsh conditions, but the power is very terrifying, under this roar, the skill was immediately displayed, which not only led to a decline in the combat strength and morale of the Jiangdong Army, but also caused tens of thousands of people to flee.
Originally, under the impact of Guan Yu, the Jiangdong Army's position was already in chaos, and now Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led the crowd to kill again, and Guan Yu formed a front and back attack, which made the Jiangdong Army even more miserable, especially Zhang Fei successfully performed the skill "Shaking the Sky Roar", which led to a decline in morale and combat power in the army, and more than 10,000 people fled, almost unable to form an army.
"Haha, as soon as the second brother came, our army immediately turned defeat into victory, this is really an endless day for my Han family," Seeing the enemy retreat, Zhang Fei didn't bother to chase after him, came to Guan Yu, and said with a loud laugh, but he looked at Liu Bei, who was also full of smiles, and said with a smile: "Of course, if the second brother doesn't come, we will eventually defend Linjiang, but it's definitely not as easy as winning today, second brother, don't you know, these days when you're not there, we all want to kill you, right, How did you escape from Liu and Xiao'er? Tell me about Lao Zhang. ”
At this time, Liu Bei ordered the troops to return to the city, and he was also by Guan Yu's side, and he was also full of interest in Zhang Fei's question, looking at Guan Yu with an expectant face.
"Big brother, third brother, don't hide it from you, this time it was not me who escaped, but Qin Gong put me back, Qin Gong Nian is a family member of the Han family in us, and suggests that we join forces to eradicate those princes with different surnames first, in order to show sincerity, Qin Gong specially praised the Son of Heaven and canonized the eldest brother as the Duke of Shu, oh, I forgot to introduce," Guan Yu pointed to Deng Zhi who was dressed as a personal soldier next to him and said: "Big brother, this is Deng Zhi Deng Bo Miao, he was ordered by the Duke of Qin to escort the younger brother to Shuzhong, and the canonization edict of the Son of Heaven was also sent, In addition, the 1,000 soldiers accompanying the younger brother were also borrowed by Mr. Deng from the Padang Taishou Du Raid, if it were not for their strong momentum, I am afraid that the younger brother would definitely die in the enemy army even if he came to Linjiang City. ”
Then Deng Zhi bowed slightly, saluted Liu Bei, and expressed his sincerity in cooperating with Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei heard that Liu He actually protected him as the Duke of Shu, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, because he had just lost to Sun Quan before, and it can be said that his prestige had fallen to a low point, even if he repelled Cheng Pu's attack this time, he still couldn't stop the decline of his reputation in Shu, and it might even cause a popular uprising, but now that he was canonized as the Duke of Shu, this is different, this will make his reputation more than when it was at its peak before, not only will there be no crisis, but it will be more convenient to unite the army and the people, concentrate on the decisive battle with Sun Quan again, and regain the lost land.
Therefore, Liu Bei was naturally very polite to Deng Zhi, and at the same time praised Liu He fiercely, and even called Liu He his brother without any restraint, and talked about the origin of Liu Yu in Youzhou.
It's just that Zhang Fei is a little unhappy, he hates Lu Bu the most for the heroes in the world, but the second one is Liu He, who thinks that this Liu He is sinister and cunning, scheming, and very disdainful, but for Liu He's sake of putting his second brother back, he didn't say anything.
After that, Liu Bei decisively restored Guan Yu's position, and appointed Guan Yu as the Taishou of Ba County, and ordered him to lead the army to garrison the eastern defense line, and then returned to Chengdu with Deng Zhi to discuss the alliance with Liu He.
As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Chengdu, he summoned Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and others to discuss the alliance with Liu He, Zhuge Liang actually had a lot of complaints about this, because Zhuge Liang could see that Liu He was definitely not so kind to help Liu Bei, and he was just doing this now to buy people's hearts, and at the same time encourage Shuzhong to start an all-out war with Jiangdong, and then Liu Hehao took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and gain benefits. Therefore, Zhuge Liang advocated giving up grievances and re-allied with Sun Quan to fight against Liu He.
However, Liu Bei was very unimpressed by this, and Zhengse said: "In terms of righteousness, Liu and my brother are both relatives of the Han Dynasty, and we should support each other, sweep away the princes with different surnames, and realize the prosperity of my Han family; From a personal point of view, Sun Quan'er repeatedly failed to pay attention to faith and righteousness, and shamelessly attacked us, which became a constraint for us, and how many big plans did we turn into water? In the first battle of Chibi, our army suffered heavy casualties and was almost destroyed, such a blood sea of deep hatred, if I don't report it, how can I face the soldiers of the three armies? What's more, Sun Quan Xiao'er is leading the army to attack the land of Yizhou, although the northern part of Yizhou is temporarily stable, but Sun Quan personally commanded Tai Shici to attack the southern part of Yizhou from Jiaozhou, and with their support, Meng Shu and others of the Nanban tribe rebelled, how could I give in at this time? Kong Ming doesn't need to persuade anymore, the alliance between our army and Liu Hexian is imperative, I am ready to take Yide as the Taishou of Ba County, transfer Yun Chang back, take Yun Chang as the general, Kong Ming as the military division, lead the army to conquer the rebellion of Meng Shu in the south of Yizhou, and then take back the four counties of Jiaozhou and Jingnan, at that time, if Sun Quan Xiao'er intends to reconcile with me, I may still consider it. ”
"No, Liang will definitely not live up to the expectations of the lord and quell the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians, but the matter of the alliance with Liu He, the lord still needs to consider it carefully, or even if he agrees now, he must be careful in the future, and don't fall for his tricks."
Although Zhuge Liang insisted on not forming an alliance with Liu He, but now that Liu Bei had made a decision and asked him to assist Guan Yu in quelling the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians, he had no choice but to agree, and instructed Liu Bei to be careful of Liu He.
