Chapter 352: Leveraging Strength
Xu Chu thought that the loss in the army must have been done by Liu Bei, but just as Xu Chu turned around, he suddenly found that Liu Bei and his people had been bound, and next to him was a masked man!
Xu Chu was surprised by this situation, and even shouted: "Who are you who dare to intercept my Jizhou camp?" ”
The man on the horse smiled and said: "I don't care if you are from Jizhou, Gunzhou or Xuzhou, and when you come to my Runan territory, you have to listen to me!" ”
The masked man behind a group of soldiers and horses, estimated at about 20,000 people, and at that time Xu Chu thought, how can there be so many military horses in the land of Runan, if it is a bandit bandit, it is impossible to attack the military horse at night, if it is instructed by others, it is inevitable that there will be doubts again, when Xu Chu was suspicious, Hua Xiong had already rushed back, seeing this kind of formation, he did not panic first, but said: "Seeking wealth and not life, it seems that you are not ordinary bandits!" ”
The masked man smiled and said, "Yes and what, no matter what, in short, none of you will be able to leave tonight!" ”
The man laughed, and Xu Chu also smiled: "Since you are here to hide your face, you must not want to reveal your identity, if I uncover your fig leaf, see if you dare to speak falsely!" ”
With the masked man's order, thousands of people had already poured up, slashing with swords in their hands, and Xu Chu and Hua Xiong didn't care, the long knife came out, the hammer fell, and hundreds of people fell, but after the hundred people fell, thousands of people came to follow, and they didn't give Xu Chu and others a chance to breathe at all!
Xu Chu shouted angrily, held up the double hammer, borrowed strength on Hua Xiong's shoulder, and a fish rose up, and flew out of a height of three or four zhang, just to take the masked man!
The masked man stood on the horse, remembering that a pair of hammers came to the noodle hall in a moment, and he had already clamped his legs between his horses, and took a few steps back before he dodged a blow, and when Xu Chu was about to strike again, a rain of arrows had already hit behind him!
Xu Chu's intention is very simple, to solve this leader's person first, at least to see his face first, as for Liu Bei's loss, he Xu Chu doesn't care at all, so he has no intention of saving Liu Bei!
The masked man retreated behind Liu Bei, and when he took out a quick knife from his waist and put it against Liu Bei's neck, he shouted: "You two don't surrender quickly, otherwise I will take his life!" ”
Xu Chu did not stop in his hands, first blocking the rain of arrows, and then meeting the people who attacked from the left and right, and Hua Xiong was unmoved. The masked man was suddenly furious, and the long knife in his hand wanted to be cut, but he was hit by Liu Bei's body, and it seemed that he fell under the horse!
At that time, Liu Bei shouted: "Two generals, go quickly!" Come on! ”
Xu Chu saw the masked man fall under the horse, thinking that it was an opportunity, so he wanted to take the next road, and then kill the general, but Liu Bei shouted again: "The military horse is coming again, the general will not leave at this time, I am afraid that there will be no chance!" ”
At that time, Hua Xiong shouted to Xu Chu: "Hurry up, the coming day will be long, and I will report back in the future!" ”
Xu Chu had no choice but to take two horses immediately, and the two of them galloped out with Huaxiong, but went to Xuzhou!
Seeing that Xu Chu and the others had left, the soldiers and horses behind them did not chase after them, and when Xu Chu and Hua Xiong got out in the night, the rope tied to Liu Bei's body didn't know when the road opened, and then heard Liu Bei say: "It was almost broken!" ”
The masked man ripped off the black cloth, although it is not an old acquaintance, it cannot be regarded as a living person, it is Runan Gongdu!
Xu Chu and Hua Xiong wanted to fight against the enemy of 20,000 people, but it was a little difficult, so these two would ride their horses away at a critical moment.
The two horses roared, and when they left the boundary of Runan, Xu Chu suddenly smelled Huaxiong: "Where was Liu Bei hovering before he was ordered to enter the Xu capital?" ”
Hua Xiong thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It's Runan!" ”
Xu Chu secretly exclaimed: "Medium-sized plan!" Hit the nail on the head! ”
Hua Xiong also sensed the smell, so he said to Xu Chu: "What can I do, do you want to kill it back?" ”
Xu Chu shook his head and said: "Liu Bei people, it's not you and I who can be the enemy, and this time the 10,000 troops and horses are all wiped out, you should report to the lord first, and then listen to the decision!" ”
Hua Xiong secretly hated, "This Liu Bei is scheming, presumably that masked man must be Zhang Fei!" ”
Xu Chu shook his head and said: "That person is definitely not Zhang Fei, but now it is expected that it should be the remnant of the Yellow Turban Party that took refuge in Liu Bei in Runan - Gong Du!" ”
Hua Xiong thought so, the two of them and two horses, and they went towards Xiapi City non-stop!
Under the whip of the horse, two days later, he went to Xiapi, Xu Chu saw the lord Gao Fei, and said what happened!
When he heard Xu Chu say that the masked man was Gong Du, Gao Fei was already frowning, Gao Fei did underestimate Liu Bei and his person, he thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to let Liu Bei escape, but he didn't want this Liu Bei to hit him with a backhand, first kill him 10,000 soldiers, and then make a good name, he must be called a villain!
Gao Fei's face was grim, and he said to Chun Yuqiong and Han Meng: "When you first came to my account, do you want to make meritorious contributions?" ”
Chun Yuqiong said yes, but Gao Fei continued: "With you, the two of you have 5,000 troops and horses, and the soldiers surround the land of Runan, remember one thing, before there is no order, surround but not fight!" ”
Chun Yuqiong and Han Meng received Gao Fei's order, and immediately dispatched the military horses to Runan, and at this time Gao Fei smiled and said: "You have a good plan, I have a bridge and ladder!" ”
Immediately, Gao Fei said to Xu Chu and Hua Xiong: "Follow me to Xiaopei!" ”
In the afternoon, Gao Fei arrived at Xiaopei, when Guan Yu went out of the city to greet him, but Gao Fei showed sadness on his face, Guan Yu saw this, but he was suspicious, so he asked: "I don't know if adults are worried?" ”
Before Gao Fei could speak, Xu Chu on the side said: "There are accidents, things are unexpected!" ”
Guan Yu looked at Xu Chu and Hua Xiong, and asked: "These two generals didn't follow my eldest brother to Yanmen Pass to suppress bandits, why did they come back first......
Before Guan Yu finished speaking, Gao Fei opened his mouth and said: "Liu Yuanjun, he suffered a catastrophe and was killed by a group of bandits!" ”
Guan Yu was stunned, and immediately shouted: "Impossible, with the third brother by my eldest brother's side, who can harm my eldest brother?" ”
Gao Fei was very sad, but ordered someone to take out a wooden box, which contained a human head with unrecognizable facial features, and Gao Fei said: "This is the head of Liu Yuanjun, as for Zhang Fei and his people, they are also scattered and do not know where to go!" ”
When Guan Yu saw the human head in the wooden box, his entire face was black and purple, and he was holding the unrecognizable human head in both hands, and he was saddened. Gao Fei persuaded: "Please also ask Yun Changjie to mourn and change!" ”
The reason why Gao Fei wanted to fake Liu Bei's death was just to fish in troubled waters, after all, Liu Bei killed 10,000 of his soldiers, and Gao Fei's trick was not bad!
The reason why Gao Fei concluded that Guan Yu didn't know about Liu Bei was just speculation, but from now on, Gao Fei guessed correctly, after all, Liu Bei's secret plan would not be said to a person who was not involved, so Gao Fei was in the middle of it!
In fact, Gao Fei faked such a piece of news, how effective it would be, Gao Fei didn't know very well, just like Gao Fei didn't expect this Liu Bei to make dangerous moves, Runan is Liu Bei's base camp, and he has been in business for a long time, and Gao Fei also has reason to believe that Zhou Cang and Liao Hua under Yanmen Pass are also under Liu Bei's account!
Liu Bei was already growing in his wings, but Gao Fei secretly hated: "Let the tiger return to the mountain, the disaster will be great!" ”
Let's say that Chun Yuqiong and Han Meng, who led 5,000 troops, immediately rushed to the land of Runan, and when they arrived in Runan, except for Xu Chu and other 10,000 troops, there was no one left!
At that time, Chun Yuqiong passed the news to Gao Fei in Xiapi City, but Gao Fei didn't care, but signaled to Chun Yuqiong: "First garrison in Runan for four or five days, and then return!" ”
Four or five days later, Chun Yuqiong and Han Meng led the troops to return to Xiapi City, and Chun Yuqiong held a human head in his hand, and shouted to the people in the city as soon as he entered the city: "This is the head of the bandit leader who killed Liu Zhijun, which has been cut off by me, and is now hanging on the city wall to set an example!" ”
Gao Fei had long expected that this Liu Bei would inevitably escape, and the reason why he had to send Chun Yuqiong and others to lead the troops to Runan was just a false shot, and with a little momentum, the news of Liu Bei's death spread throughout the city, and then the bandit leader was killed as a victory, but Gao Fei wanted to win over Guan Yu!
Guan Yu is desperate for Liu Bei, Gao Fei wants to win over this person, it is even more difficult, but Gao Fei also has his own plans, even if he can't win over this Guan Yu, he has to create some obstacles for Liu Bei!
Guan Yu, who was in the land of Xiaopei, heard that the murderer of his eldest brother had been killed, and when he rushed to Xiapi City, he said to Gao Feiqi, "Back then, in Taoyuan, I made a blood alliance with my eldest brother and third brother, and became brothers with different surnames, and made an appointment to live and die together, sharing blessings and misfortunes, I don't want my eldest brother to be a member of the royal family, but he was killed at the hands of bandits and bandits, I Guan Yu was terrified, and now the murderer has been killed by Gao Daren, Guan Yu is willing to follow!" ”
Because Liu Bei was still in the news of his death, Gao Fei did not show great joy, but said: "Liu Yuanjun and I are brothers, and Liu Yuanjun's siblings are Gao Fei's siblings!" ”
Gao Fei was in the Wenhou Mansion and prepared a funeral for Liu Bei, which was considered to comfort Guan Yu's heart!
said that in Hebei, Cao Cao had already come to the city, and Yuan Shao was anxious, so he said to Guo Tu and Xu You: "What can I do? ”
The land of Hebei, the land is vast, the grain and grass are abundant, it is a strong place, I don't want Yuan Shao to be in the hands for several years, I have fought a few battles without killing, none of them can win, all of them are defeated, especially with Gao Fei to confront each other, it is a fiasco, so over the years, the strength of Hebei has long been declining, from hundreds of thousands of armor before, to less than thirty or forty thousand military horses, it can be said that it is a matter of prosperity and decline!
Cao Cao attacked the city, Yuan Shao was already worried, at this time, a sergeant had already come to report, saying that Chun Yuqiong, who was in prison, had been robbed by General Han Meng and left, and he didn't know where to go!
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was furious and said: "Chun Yuqiong betrayed me, Han Meng is the same party, if you don't kill these two people, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart, and quickly send military horses to pursue!" ”
The soldier replied in fear: "At this time, there are no soldiers and horses, and all of Hebei are outside the city to meet the enemy Cao Cao!" ”
