Chapter 158 Han Jun camped outside the city
"The lord's order, I should obey it, but I am unwilling!"
Yu Ban sighed, looked back at his lieutenant general and asked, "Man Cheng thinks, why did the lord make this decision?" ”
Li Dian, whose name is Mancheng, was just over twenty years old at the time, but he was an early teenager, mature and steady, and there was no young man's frizz. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Dian's uncle, Li Gan, was quite heroic, and had a very high local prestige in Shanyang County, and during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he organized thousands of diners to protect the territory and the people. When Cao Cao went east to conquer the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Li Gan led the people to take refuge and made great contributions in the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu for Yuzhou, and was trusted by Cao Cao.
But it is a pity that Li Gan died at the hands of traitors in the rebellion of Zhang Miao and Lu Bu. Li Gan's son and Li Dian's cousin Li Quanzhi was a talented man, and he wanted to avenge his father violently, but he was defeated, and he himself was killed in the chaos. Fortunately, Li Dian stepped forward in time, gathered the remnants of the army, and resisted desperately, which prevented the situation in Yanzhou from deteriorating further.
The fledgling Li Dian quickly attracted Cao Cao's attention, and he was exceptionally promoted to the deputy general of the Qingzhou Army, assisting in the training of the forbidden army.
Although Li Dian is a member of the army, his words and deeds are quite like a literati and a Confucian scholar, and he only spoke after giving a salute at a glance: "The wisdom of the lord is a hundred times better than that of you and me, and it should not be speculated." But since the general asked, I will tell you what is in my heart. At this time, Xiapi City seems to me to be like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. Therefore, when out of sight and out of mind. ”
Yu Ban nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, the army has withdrawn to Yanzhou, and with only the strength in your hands and me, even if we take Xiapi City, it is estimated that we will not be able to defend it." ”
Li Dian said: "That's right. Although the Xuzhou soldiers will inevitably suffer great damage after these two battles, they may not have the strength to fight to the death. The situation in Yanzhou is unknown, once there is a change, the Qingzhou soldiers will inevitably be indispensable! ”
Yu Ban sighed regretfully, "Then I can only let Liu Bei live a few more days." ”
Liu Bei, who had been wandering around outside the Ghost Gate, finally picked up a life and escaped from Chu Wang Mountain under the desperate protection of Zhang Fei.
Although the miserable and desperate cry could no longer be heard in his ears, and although there were no longer dense locust-like arrows above his head, the frightened and sad expression on Liu Bei's face did not improve in the slightest.
Before and after, a total of 10,000 Xuzhou elites, was it lost in vain?
Liu Bei felt that his heart was dripping blood, since the first year of Zhongping, he recruited Xiangyong to fight against the Yellow Turban, he has been displaced for more than ten years, and after a lot of hardships, he finally has a decent foothold, and the number of troops under his hands has finally exceeded 10,000 people. But in the blink of an eye, it was like Nan Ke dreaming, and when he woke up from the dream, did he have to go back to the days under the fence in the past?
Cao's two expeditions, under the viciousness of the war, coupled with Han Jun's shameless blackmail, Xuzhou has long since lost its previous stability and wealth. Countless victims have been displaced, waiting to be fed, and people are panicked and in ruins. The most important thing is that the ruling class in Xuzhou, the old subordinates left by Tao Qian, cannot make him completely relieved and trusted. Liu Bei originally wanted to establish his authority through a big victory and deter those clans who were about to move. But it's a pity that it backfired, and now Liu Bei can really be said to have lost his wife and broken his soldiers, not to mention losing face, and his ruling foundation is probably crumbling at this time.
Yang Tian took a deep breath, Liu Bei bit his lip fiercely, the smell of blood stimulated his nerves and made him regain his strength.
The word "sluggishness" will never appear in Liu Bei's body. He's failed too many times, so he's less afraid of failure than anyone else. For him, failure is just a foreshadowing of success. Even if there is the blood of thousands of people on this foreshadowing.
Liu Bei indifferently glanced at Zhang Fei, who was like a blood gourd beside him, and said: "Yide, order someone to clean up the battlefield, blow the trumpet to collect the defeated soldiers, and those who don't arrive before dark will be treated as deserters!" ”
Zhang Fei nodded weakly, losing too much blood, coupled with two defeats in a row, Zhang Fei, who was as strong as Xiong Zhen, completely lost the momentum that he was not afraid of the sky and the earth before.
Liu Bei had already figured out that Cao Cao had really lost interest in Xiapicheng in a short period of time. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to return to Xiapi City, and he was still more relieved that Guan Yu was sitting in the city.
The top priority is to expand the force as much as possible, and only in this way can he firmly control Xuzhou.
However, the news brought by a fast horse shattered his plans.
"Report to the lord, 20,000 soldiers under the city of Chen Bing, and ask the lord to meet him!"
Liu Bei's face immediately became extremely ugly, his chest rose and fell violently, and he almost suffocated to death without taking a breath.
The mind that had finally stabilized was violently turbulent again, and Liu Bei gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Han Jun Xiao'er, you are so shameless!" He is really the number one traitor today! ”
Zhang Fei's impression of Han Jun was also very ordinary, but he didn't understand where Liu Bei's anger came from at all, so he blinked his eyes suspiciously and asked, "According to the calculation of time, Han Jun'er is also a trustworthy person, why is the eldest brother so indignant?" ”
Liu Bei sneered, "Yide, do you really think so?" ”
Without waiting for Zhang Fei to answer, Liu Bei continued: "If you don't come early, you won't come late, but it just appeared when Cao Jun just retreated, if it wasn't for Han Junxiao'er's intention, I wouldn't believe it!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Liu Bei almost gritted his steel teeth, and said word by word: "Don't believe it, you wait and see, this shameless boy will definitely ask me for money and food again!" ”
"He dares!"
Zhang Feihu roared and said angrily: "If Han Jun'er is really so greedy, I will definitely take down his head!" ”
Zhang Fei soon learned that Han Jun's head was not so easy to take down. There are many people like him, and they even dream of wanting Han Jun's life, but Han Jun has been able to live well to this day, and his head is naturally not so easy to take down.
When Han Jun proposed with a smile on his face that in order to relieve the danger of Pi, the Youhe Army was non-stop along the way, even marching day and night, and urgently needed to replenish military resources and reward him, the Zhangba snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand stabbed Han Jun in the chest without hesitation.
But unfortunately, before the snake spear spear pierced Han Jun's chest, Zhang Fei's chest was pierced by an extremely fast crossbow arrow.
"Oops" screamed bitterly, and Zhang Fei, who was already exhausted, fell off his horse as soon as it was dark in front of him.
Gao Shun was holding a dark crossbow machine, and Cong Hanjun, who was full of indifference, flashed out behind him.
"Third brother!"
Seeing Zhang Fei fall off the horse, Liu Bei felt severe pain in his heart, with tears in his eyes and anxiety on his face, but his body didn't dare to move. Because, the crossbow machine in Gao Shun's hand was aimed at his chest at this time.
Han Jun coldly glanced at Zhang Fei, who was lying on the snow and was uncertain about his life and death, and looked at Liu Bei's eyes, which were also as sharp as knives, "It seems that Xuande Gong seems to have deceived me, and the people of Xuzhou don't seem to welcome our arrival!" In order to solve the danger of Xuzhou, I personally led the army to come, marching night long, day and night, not avoiding wind and snow, not afraid of hardships. Why? Just because Xuande Gong once said that the people of Xuzhou look at me and Wang Shi like a great drought and look at Ganlin. Could it be that this is Xuzhou's hospitality just now? ”
Liu Bei's face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't care about Zhang Fei's life or death anymore, so he could only apologize again and again.
Han Jun waved his hand impatiently and said, "Xuande is going to talk about these nonsense without nutrition again, change places, change places, and change places for me, full of sincerity but in exchange for a basin of cold water, how will you feel?" ”
Liu Bei blushed, Han Jun took charge of this matter, and if he held on, he was really speechless.
"Since we are not welcome in Xuzhou, then I will no longer go into the city to ask for fun, it is getting late, and I can only camp outside Xiapi City. Xuande Gong rest assured, the military discipline of our army is like iron, and not a single soldier will break into the city to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. ”
Han Jun seemed to be in a state of interest and threw down this sentence, and said again: "As for this murderer, I naturally want to take it away." Although Han Jun is not talented, he is also an official of the imperial court, a marquis of the Han Dynasty, this thief is so bold that he dares to intend to be unfavorable to this marquis in broad daylight, and he regards the legislation of the imperial court as nothing, so naturally he can't be spared! ”
Liu Bei slammed a spirit, and just wanted to intercede for Zhang Fei, but saw a team of armor soldiers with a cold expression walking out behind Han Jun, and walked forward to set up Zhang Fei without saying a word.
Han Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that Xuan Degong deliberately harbored this thief?" Or, was this thief actually instructed by Xuande Gong? ”
This hat was buttoned too big, Liu Bei didn't dare to wear it casually, so he could only sigh lightly, didn't dare to squeak again, and helplessly watched the team of armor soldiers drag Zhang Fei away like dead dogs.
"There is no more deception than this! Han Jun thief, I, Liu Bei, swear to the sky, in this life and this life, I will not share the sky with you! ”
Returning to his mansion like a walking corpse, Liu Bei's resentment that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out completely. The reason why people are called people is because people have seven emotions and six desires, no matter how deep Liu Bei's city is and how thick-skinned he is, he can't be truly joyless and sad.
The 10,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and he was severely humiliated by Han Jun, coupled with Zhang Fei's unpredictability in the enemy camp, his whole person almost exploded.
Yes, he's going crazy.
Guan Yu's mood is naturally not much better, his face was originally red, but at this time, it seemed to be cooked, the red was black, and the red was scary.
