Chapter 42: The First Battle of the Three British

Liu Bei led Guan Zhang to ride a horse all the way back to Lousang Village, talked and laughed all the way, dismounted and entered the door to meet his mother. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother, a few days ago, there was a list in the city, but the rebels can resist the yellow scarves, and the son has formed five hundred township warriors, and they will be pulled out soon." After speaking, he pointed to the two brothers and said, "These two are the brothers of the son's sworn worship, and they have come to pay a visit." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bowed respectfully: "Mother." ”

"Good! Good! Seeing that these two people were dignified and majestic, Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned the two to sit down: "Sit down quickly, my son will prepare some food and wine with me." ”

Liu Bei followed Liu to the courtyard, Liu saw Guan Zhang's sight, grabbed Liu Bei's sleeve and walked forward happily, with a snickering expression, as if the aunt had taken advantage of the grocery shopping, and didn't want people to know, covering her mouth and trotting all the way home.

"Mother, why are you smiling like this?"

"Wu'er is happy to get two fans, how can I not be happy for my mother?" There was an inexplicable light in Liu's eyes, and Liu Bei was uncomfortable for a while.

"My son has really grown up and will accumulate capital for himself." Liu touched Liu Bei's head, "Your classmate Gongsun Zhan, that Jian Yong in the same village, and the two people in front of you are all good helpers for you to establish merits in the future, I hope Wu'er will make good use of them." ”

Liu Bei avoided his gaze and moved his eyes to the haystack on the side.

Jian Yong, who never left when traveling, Gongsun Zhan, who drank and skipped class together when he was a classmate, just got married, and the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who did not want to be born on the same day in the same year but died on the same day in the same year are capital? A good helper for me to make a difference? Do you want me to make good use of it?

"Mother, Jian Yong is my best friend, Gongsun Chan is my classmate, Guan Zhang is my sworn brother and your son!" Liu Bei's eyes were full of brilliance.

"yes, that's right." Liu Shi was stunned for a moment and said inexplicably.

Liu Bei choked, and there was an inexplicable sense of humiliation in his heart.

Liu didn't think about it, and continued to whisper to Liu Bei: "Bei'er, listen to what my mother told you." Thinking that Gaozu rebelled against Qin back then, he was just a small hall chief, and there were only 100 people around him, and his subordinates were only Xiao He and Fan Xu. Now Jian Yong is your Xiao He, and the two brothers are your ......"

"The child knows." Liu Bei's heart was depressed, and he interrupted Liu's words and didn't let her continue.

Bidding farewell to his mother, Liu Bei led Guan Zhang and more than 500 villagers to meet the school captain Zou Jing, and Zou Jing was overjoyed to introduce Liu Yan to Liu Guanzhang.

The three of them met Liu Yan to announce their names, Liu Bei talked about his clan, and Liu Yan was overjoyed: "There is another hero in my Han family." He recognized Liu Bei as his nephew.

Liu Yan was talking to the three of them when he suddenly saw a herald break in, reporting that Cheng Zhiyuan had led his troops to attack Zhuo County.

Liu Yan was shocked, and hurriedly asked Zou Jing to lead Liu Bei and the three of them to bring five hundred soldiers and horses to meet the battle, the number of people was huge, before leaving, Liu Yan took Liu Bei's hand and repeatedly admonished: "Xuande, this is dangerous, remember not to fight ruthlessly, just want to drag the thief's footsteps, wait for me to transfer troops to rescue, don't lose your life!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and thanked Liu Yan and led the troops away.

At the foot of Daxing Mountain, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them stopped the army and rested on the mountain.

Daxing Mountain is a lonely mountain, there is no other peak around, like a stone pillar rising from the ground between the flat land, the terrain is higher, and you can see the distant scene from the foot of the mountain.

"Big brother, look!" Zhang Fei was lying on the ground, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and hurriedly got up and said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both shocked and raised their eyes.

Behind the woods on the side of the mountain was a grassland, and a thin black line could be faintly seen fluctuating at the boundary between heaven and earth in the distance.

In the distance, Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao led the Yellow Turban Army to walk carelessly, and the Yellow Turban Army behind them was like mountains and seas, one after another carrying knives, guns or hoes and other farm tools walking forward, all with yellow turbans on their heads to wipe their foreheads.

Liu Guanzhang watched the black line in the distance getting thicker and thicker, slowly turning into a yellow rectangle, the formation was crowded, and after a while, it had become a phalanx and pushed forward, covering the entire grassland, but the yellow turban soldiers on the horizon behind were still appearing in a steady stream, not to mention tens of thousands of people marching, and the dust under their feet could almost cover the day.

"Array!"

Liu Bei finally knew what Liu Yan meant by the disparity in numbers, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, and he would still be discovered if he retreated at this moment, so it was better to fight here.

Watching the Yellow Turban Army in the distance, which was like a mountain and a sea, slowly moving forward, everyone seemed to see a large thundercloud in the sky pressing down on them, pressing on the chest of the five hundred townsmen and making them breathless.

"Suck ...... ...... "Liu Bei's breathing in his mouth was also a little heavy, and he became slightly short.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were also a little nervous, but after all, both of them were born generals, and there was no panic or fear in their hearts that would occur when they first went to the battlefield, just because they were a little excited about the battle that was about to start.

When the two armies lined up opposite each other, Liu Guanzhang and Cheng Zhiyuan stood at the front of the battle formation respectively, only to see Zhang Fei raise the horsewhip in his hand and yell at Cheng Zhiyuan: "Why don't the anti-country and traitors surrender early!" ”

"Anti-national?" Cheng Zhiyuan was furious in his heart: "If we didn't fight back, we would have died a long time ago, how could they, people in rich places, know how we have survived all these years!" ”

"Ignorant rats, watch me teach you a lesson!"

Cheng Zhiyuan turned his head and saw that the deputy general Deng Mao couldn't bear this kind of slander even more, obviously he was forced to a dead end and fought back, and he was also said to be a rebel and anti-country, and he slapped out in anger.

"Haha! Well done! Zhang Fei raised the eight snake spears in his hand and stabbed forward, hitting Deng Mao's heart, turning over and falling off his horse and dying.

After killing Deng Mao, Zhang Fei proudly raised the spear in his hand and showed off his might.

"Deng Mao!"

Cheng Zhiyuan watched Deng Mao being beheaded, and suddenly became angry, his fingers cracked, and he slapped his horse and danced the knife and went straight to Zhang Fei, vowing to avenge the dead Deng Mao.

Guan Yu saw that he dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to meet him, and cut Cheng Zhiyuan in half with one sword.

After beheading Cheng Zhiyuan, Guan Yu didn't say much, but stopped beside Zhang Fei, stroked his beard and watched the Yellow Turban Army, watching the enemy move.

Liu Bei saw that he had beheaded the generals led by the Yellow Turban Soldiers, and instead of rejoicing, he looked at the reaction of the enemy formation with some nervousness at this time.

If the normal officers and soldiers are killed when they see the commander killed, they must attack and swear to fight to the death, recapture the commander's body and return to the place where the troops were sent to Shangguan, but the Yellow Turban Army is not a regular army, I don't know if it will rush to kill, if the Yellow Turban sees Cheng Zhiyuan killed and flees in chaos, then this battle is considered Liu Bei's victory; However, if these tens of thousands of people rushed up to fight together, they only had more than 500 people, just like ants against a giant, they were easily pinched to death, if they saw that the Yellow Turban had a tendency to rush and kill, they had to quickly lead the army to escape, and the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to pursue without a commander, so they could only escape with their lives.

Liu Guanzhang was watching the reaction of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side intently at this moment, and if there was a change, he would have to flee for his life at any time.

I only heard a voice coming from the yellow turban formation at this time: "Qu Shuai is dead!" Run! ”

"The two generals of the officers and soldiers are like tigers, and they actually killed Cheng Qushuai and General Deng Mao with one blow!"

"Run!"

"If we don't go again, the next one will be us!"

Although there are also people of insight in the army who know that the officers and soldiers have a great disadvantage, they shout not to flee, and want to organize troops and horses to meet the attack, but they still can't stop the rout of the entire army.

Liu Bei saw that the enemy army was in chaos, and knew that the battle had been won, so he was overjoyed, and waved his hand behind him: "The enemy army has been chaotic and will kill me with me!" ”

Liu Bei led 500 people to chase the fleeing Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield, and countless people surrendered and returned with a great victory.

Liu Yan went out of the city to greet him and reward the sergeant, Liu Bei said the weakness of the chaotic discipline of the Yellow Turban, and the generals of Youzhou were relieved.

The next day, Liu Yan received a letter from Gong Jing, the Taishou of Qingzhou, saying that he was begging for help by the Yellow Turban, and Liu Bei stepped forward to ask for help.

"This ...... All right. Zou Jing. ”

"The end will be."

"You lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Qingzhou with Xuande."

"No."

So Zou Jing and Liu Guanzhang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Qingzhou, just in time for the thief army to besiege the city.

Zou Jing said: "Our army is newly arriving, we should attack it unprepared, and immediately send troops to attack while the thieves have not found our reinforcements." After speaking, he immediately led the soldiers and horses to kill the thieves.

Liu Bei felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to follow.

Zou Jing thought that this wave of Yellow Turban Army was as vulnerable as the Yellow Turban Army led by Cheng Zhiyuan, and he didn't care much in his heart.

Liu Bei saw that Zou Jing was in danger, and immediately led Guan Zhang to rescue Zou Jing, and led the army to retreat thirty miles to the village.

Zou Jing was injured in the battle and could not fight again, so he handed over the command to Liu Bei, who said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "There are many thieves and I am outnumbered, and we must surprise our troops to win." ”

Then set up various strategies with Guan Zhang, the next day out of battle, Liu Bei led the army to march noisily, and fought and retreated to lure the enemy to the mountains, to the agreed place, only to hear a cannon, Guan Yu led a thousand soldiers and horses from the left side of the mountain to kill, Zhang Fei led a thousand soldiers and horses from the right side of the mountain to kill, Liu Bei also immediately turned around and rushed to kill, broke the enemy army under the three-way attack, and relieved the siege of Qingzhou.

After Qingzhou Taishou finished the army, Zou Jing was about to lead Liu Bei back to Youzhou, Liu Bei said: "I heard that Zhonglang will fight Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, and he will be a teacher of Lu Zhi and want to help him." ”

So he led the five hundred townships that had fought with Liu Bei at the beginning, and Zou Jing himself led the troops back.

On the march, Zhang Fei caught up with Liu Bei and asked puzzledly, "Big brother, why did you lead the troops in a hurry." After returning to Youzhou, under Liu Yan, he has made so many military exploits, and he will definitely be rewarded! ”

Guan Yu seemed to be worried: "Yesterday, Zou Jing led the troops to attack and was defeated. Today, we will lead the troops and win a great victory. Big brother is worried that Zou Jing is unhappy? ”

Liu Bei said: "Yes and no. ”

Guan Zhang asked, "How do you say it?" ”

Liu Bei said: "The main thing is that Liu Yan is too guarded, this time the troops seem to be a little distrustful of us, obviously I asked for war but ordered Zou Jing to lead the army, there may be no more development in the future, it is better to go." ”

"Hmm." Guan Yu nodded.

"Then let's go to Guangzong now?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Well, go to Guangzong." Liu Bei nodded.

"Haha! That's great! I've long wanted to see the demeanor of this world-famous Lu Shi. Zhang Fei patted his horse and rushed out.

"Slow down, be careful." Liu Bei Guan Yu sighed helplessly and accelerated to keep up.
