Chapter 347: When the Monkey Meets the Gorilla

Liu Bei finally mastered most of Xuzhou's troops, but most of Xuzhou's territory was still not in Liu Bei's hands. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to Liu Bei's plan, the formation of an alliance is just the beginning.

Liu Bei's alliance is almost all over Xuzhou, but there are still people who don't want to wear it on a rope with Liu Bei. Rather than being dispatched under Liu Bei's command, it is more comfortable to be the master of your own house.

Therefore, Liu Bei's second plan is to eliminate these disobedient people.

Half a month after the formation of the alliance, the operation of the entire alliance has been normalized. And the so-called 80,000 horses under Liu Bei's command were also integrated together and trained intensively.

As the saying goes, it's the mule that is the horse, pull it out and slip it. It's time for Liu Bei to flex his muscles.

Guan Yu led 1,000 Liu Bei's own army and 10,000 alliance troops to the north. And Liu Bei also led a thousand of his own army and 10,000 alliance troops to the south. As for Liu Ye, he stayed at home to take care of the family.

This scene is so similar to the history of Cao De's previous life. It's just that in the original history, Liu Bei was preparing to fight Yuan Shu, and now Liu Bei is preparing to recover the entire Xuzhou; In the original history, Liu Bei kept the housekeeper as the third brother - Zhang Fei, and now Liu Bei left behind the third brother - Liu Ye. It's just that Liu Ye, the third brother, is much more reliable than Zhang Fei, the third brother.

At least, Liu Ye will not be addicted to alcohol, Liu Ye will not make mistakes because of alcohol, and Liu Ye will not beat and scold the soldiers.

Therefore, Liu Bei was very relieved to separate from Guan Yubing.

To the north of Donghae County is the Lang Evil Kingdom, and to the south of Donghai County are Pengcheng Kingdom, Xiapi Kingdom, and Gwangling County.

Guan Yu's first target in the Lang Evil Country was a group of bandits gathered in the Zhengrong Valley.

This group of bandits is led by a macho man surnamed Wang. This manpower is infinite, and it is good to make a team as big as a grinding plate. On that day, in order to serve the people, this man divided a cow into two halves from the middle with an axe.

Now, under the leadership of Wang Mengnan, they are gathered in Zhengrong Valley, specializing in robbing passing business convoys, but they are also living freely.

And Zhengrong Valley is also a part of the road that business travelers must take in order to save time, so Wang Mengnan is still relatively wealthy. After several years of formal and informal development, the number of minions under his command has also reached 3,000.

At the beginning, Liu Bei had sent an invitation letter to this Wang Mengnan, but this Wang Mengnan thought that he occupied such a favorable terrain, and if he surrendered to Cheng, he would have to ask Liu Bei for some benefits. And even if he doesn't surrender, Wang Mengnan has more than 3,000 monkey spirits who play in the mountains and forests, and he is not afraid of Liu Bei.

When Wang Mengnan learned that Liu Bei's army had camped at the foot of the mountain, Wang Mengnan immediately sent a letter to Guan Yu, who came with the troops.

Oh, what is the so-called thing that Lord Liu Meng's arrival is also stirring up the people. At the beginning, our family told Liu Mengzhu that it is not impossible for me to surrender to Cheng, give me the name of a Zhonglang general, reward some gold and silver at will, and supply my brother with all the equipment, grain and grass. Could it be that the Lord of the Liu League sent a large army to deliver something to our family?

Wang Mengnan's conditions didn't seem to be much, but his attitude was too arrogant, so Liu Bei didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly sent a large army to the mountain.

When Guan Yu received Wang Mengnan's flirtatious letter, he wrote a reply very simply.

Either you immediately go down the mountain and surrender, and my three brothers treat each other politely, or I will kill people and set fire to your cottage two days later!

Guan Yu is no one, how can he be afraid of the little thief. And after Wang Mengnan received Guan Yu's reply, he jumped to his feet and scolded, not measuring his strength.

So, a war was inevitable.

Wang Mengnan dared to argue with Liu Bei's three brothers because he occupied the steep terrain and dense jungle of the Zhengrong Valley.

Jungle warfare doesn't have to be as easy as plain warfare. No one knew how many enemy troops were hiding in the thick trees, and no one knew how many traps there were in the bushes.

However, Wang Mengnan was doomed to be unlucky when he met Guan Yu and Liu Bei's 1,000 family army.

The more than 5,000 people brought by Liu Bei himself have been wandering around in Taihang Mountain for nearly three years. They may be a little lacking in plain field warfare, but they are familiar with exterminating some bandits in the mountains and forests.

If the minions under Wang Mengnan's command are regarded as a group of monkeys jumping up and down in the woods all day long, then the thousand family troops led by Guan Yu are terrifying gorillas!

You will jump up and down in the mountains and forests, and so will we; We are not bad at the survival skills that you are familiar with; However, if you want to talk about strength, it's embarrassing, but we win.

In fact, after the two armies met in the mountains and forests, it was completely a group of gorillas that abused the monkeys.

It only took Guan Yu a day and a half to bring a thousand family troops to the outside of Wang Mengnan's cottage.

Wang Mengnan, who refused to admit defeat, proposed to fight Guan Yu alone. Guan Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, I do as you wish, come on!

Wang Mengnan rushed out towards Guan Yu with a pair of grinding axes. And after Guan Yu easily dodged Wang Mengnan's attack, there was an extra human head on the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand.

One round, only one shot. The monkey king in the eyes of the monkeys was taken off by Guan Yu.

"To descend or not to descend?"

The five words that were understated jumped out of Guan Yu's mouth word by word. However, the monkeys had no doubt that the squinting-eyed, red-faced, long-bearded man would kill them all.

So, they fell. And just as they opened the gate of the village to greet Guan Yu, the two thousand reinforcements sent by the 10,000 alliance troops who followed Guan Yu also arrived.

At this time, Guan Yu was even more relieved and boldly walked into the cottage with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife.

Wang Mengnan is dead, and he must die.

In fact, Wang Mengnan's force is actually good. And the current Liu Bei also lacks such talents. But he died, and before he and Guan Yu were alone, his mind was in turmoil. Because, he didn't expect that his biggest reliance would be so vulnerable under Guan Yu's attack. Therefore, he was not reconciled; So, he made a desperate bet; So, he went to the underworld to report.

More importantly, he had to die.

This battle can be said to be Liu Bei's first battle to recover the entire Xuzhou, so this battle must be vigorously and resolutely off to a good start. In this way, we can deter it, so that we can show Liu Bei's military might.

And the reason why Guan Yu chose this Wang Mengnan is also like this. As I said earlier, Wang Mengnan's force is actually not weak, but he was beheaded by Guan Yu with a knife.

If you want to stand up, you have to pick the hardest persimmon, and you have to gnaw off most of it in one bite. In this way, we can kill the tiger and set an example for the monkey, and in this way, we can make the rest of the persimmons frightened!

Next, Guan Yu almost took a tour of the Lang Evil Country.

In fact, those who did not participate in the alliance at Liu Bei's invitation were basically bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests. Because they have natural dangers to rely on. And all the county guards, county commanders, and generals who occupy the city, they all know that attacking the city is too simple for the three Liu Bei brothers. Their strength and defense are not worth mentioning at all. So, they wisely chose to save their lives.

Moreover, the danger in the eyes of the bandits was just a joke for the more than 5,000 troops under Liu Bei's command.
