Chapter 264: Battle of Xuzhou (2)
In Xuzhou in July, the air is already quite hot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info glanced at the hot sun in the sky, Zhang Fei, who had been roasted and restless on the city wall, while wiping the stinky sweat on his face, complained to Liu Bei: "Big brother, this Xuzhou is the land of four wars. There are few soldiers and horses, and they can't hold Cao Cao's 200,000 army offensive, so why should we suffer this kind of crime? ”
Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Min next to him, and saw that Zhang Min frowned slightly, and his face was already unkind, so he hurriedly reproached Zhang Fei with a righteous and stern face: "Third brother, Hugh is talking nonsense, Taozhou treats me with the grace of knowledge, I think when our brother was desperate, who took us in?" Be grateful, and draw a knife to help when you see unevenness on the road! Cao Cao raised a riot army to attack Xuzhou, wanting to avenge his father, kill the Li people, and plunder the people. ”
Zhang Fei pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and when he saw that Zhang Min was not far away, he couldn't help but whisper: "Big brother, what do you say?" Although Tao Qian gave us all the soldiers and horses, he also gave half of Lu Bu's house, this is really going to fight, who will go first? ”
Liu Bei rolled his eyes, his face did not change, and he said in a low voice: "The military advisor has already said, the southern city is wide, and we may go first."
Zhang Fei was puzzled, although Zhuge Liang had been following Liu Bei for a while, they were still losing battles, and even now they could only defect to Tao Qian to protect themselves. This made Zhang Fei, who followed his eldest brother three times to visit the thatched house, very dissatisfied, thinking that Zhuge Liang was a deceitful Confucian.
He was bored by the sun, and muttered, "Is it the poor sour and rotten man who can only talk about it?" Big brother, but Cao Cao has 200,000 troops in front, and Nancheng goes first, but we only have 50,000 horses, don't we die faster when we rush up in such a hurry? ”
Liu Bei looked at the third brother with an angry face in some surprise, and said with a dumb smile: "Third brother, this is not like your style, every time you encounter a war on weekdays, you are always charging forward, why do you say such depressing words today?"
"Hehe", wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Fei smirked: "That is, if I fight for the territory for the eldest brother, I Zhang Fei will definitely charge forward and move forward, but now the eldest brother always listens to the villager of Niang Xipi, and always loses the battle, and now you have to help others defend the city, I Zhang Fei is not interested, and I am not interested."
Liu Bei looked calm, turned his head, and said lightly: "Third brother, don't worry, we will definitely win this battle." Don't forget that we have 50,000 horses. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Fei's swarthy face, which didn't care about anything, also became interested, these 50,000 horses were the largest army he had led since he followed Liu Bei. After being excited for a while, Zhang Fei's bronze bell-like eyes widened, and he asked, "What if I lose?" ”
"You can't lose." Liu Bei said firmly.
Zhang Fei saw that the eldest brother was unwilling to explain anything more, so he had to shut up and not ask.
The weather was hot and dry, Zhang Fei's body was dark, and he couldn't stand it after being dull for a while, he saw that his eldest brother didn't care about him, so he had to turn to Guan Yu next to him, and shouted: "Oh, what kind of book do you read on such a hot day for the second brother."
Guan Yu is holding "Spring and Autumn" in his left hand, covering his beautiful hair with his right hand, his eyes are looking straight ahead, his face is grim, and he looks like a master.
Zhang Fei glanced at Guan Yu, the second brother is the second brother, since he returned from Cao Cao, since he became famous, he has been as steady as Mount Tai, and his expression did not change his face, which made him admire tightly.
Seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother ignored him, Zhang Fei was trying to find a cool corner and take a rest, his eyebrows and eyes rolled, and he was stunned for a moment.
Hey? It seems that something is wrong, take a closer look, he laughed in his heart, hurriedly pulled Liu Bei's cuffs, and looked at it: Big brother, the second brother's "Spring and Autumn" is reversed! And you see, his hand holding the book is still shaking!
Liu Bei saw that it was indeed the case, and just wanted to ask Guan Yu why he was like this, Zhang Min had already shouted, "The enemy army has been found ahead." ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei Zhang Fei was shocked, looked around, and saw that countless soldiers and horses were pouring out in front of him, could it be that Guan Yu had already discovered it, otherwise why would his hands tremble when he had always been steady? The two of them couldn't help but cast a blaming look at Guan Yu, meaning that he had already discovered the enemy army?
Guan Yu saw the two of them looking at each other, his face did not change, and he said lightly: "I just discovered it, and I have been reading "Spring and Autumn" all the time."
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, their eyes were full of suspicion, and Zhang Fei muttered: "The "Spring and Autumn Period" in the second brother's hand is reversed!" ”
Guan Yu took a closer look, his face immediately turned red and purple, and he hurriedly put away "Spring and Autumn", and changed the topic: "There are so many enemies, how should we deal with it, big brother?"
Liu Bei suddenly reacted, looked forward, and saw that most of the enemy troops were infantry, and the cavalry was only a few hundred, and the total number was only a few thousand, so he thought that it should be a vanguard force.
He was overjoyed in his heart, the heart of the Dao military division is really a god, and he can anticipate the enemy's opportunities.
The plan has already been decided, and there is no longer any hesitation at the moment, Liu Bei ordered loudly: "Second brother and third brother, you and others will each lead a thousand soldiers and horses in their headquarters, and when the enemy army approaches, immediately go out of the city to meet the enemy, besiege the left and right, and be sure to annihilate the enemy army." Remember, be sure to wipe them all out. ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in his heart at the same time: Big brother has never been as serious as me, and I think this time I want to come for real.
The two took the order and left, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's back, his palms were clenched, his nails were stuck in the flesh and he didn't feel anything, and he thought silently in his heart: Military advisor, will we really get Xuzhou this time......
In Xicheng, Lu Bu held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, looking at the front tightly, since Dong Zhuo was killed by himself, he became a slave with three surnames who was spurned by everyone, and after several transfers, he finally took refuge in Tao Qian in Xuzhou.
Although Lu Bu is lustful, he is also a person of great affection, although Tao Qian in Xuzhou does not treat him very well, but he has not been embarrassed by him, but all this goodwill began to slowly dissipate after Liu Bei came.
Liu Bei is just a broken aristocratic son, relying on hypocrisy and false righteousness to win people's hearts, how can he compare with him, the world-famous Lu Wenhou? But Tao Qian just didn't know how to lift, not only befriended Liu Bei, but even rumors spread that he was ready to give him the position of Xuzhou pastor.
The arrogant Lu Bu, how could he endure such grievances and insults, he wanted to ask Tao Qian for an explanation at the moment, but fortunately he was finally stopped by the strategist Chen Gong, Chen Gong told him to let him bear with it for the time being, he had a way to help him drive away Liu Bei, and even won the position of Xuzhou pastor. It was Lu Bu who endured a lot of dissatisfaction.
Behind him stood Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Gao Shun and other confidant generals, to say that among these generals, the most capable and loyal to him was Gao Shun and his trap camp. (To be continued.) )
