In the north of Yecheng City, it is a vast corn field, if it is as usual, like now it is the end of June, the millet seedlings should have the length of the ruler, and most of them have produced long ears, or maybe they will be under the scorching heat of the summer, wilting and not having a trace of life, just waiting for the ears to be yellow, cut by the farmers in Yecheng, and the four transactions will be used as taxes.

But now, this field is full of black and oppressive people, seemingly shaking uneasily, just like the corn beams when they are about to harvest. The green stalks were trampled under their feet, and many of them seemed to be retaliated, twisted fiercely in the black and red wet soil, and the upturned pole head squeezed out white juice from the broken places.

There are too many people, so much so that no matter how much Liu Bei, who is only a hundred steps away from the city wall of Yecheng at the moment, cares for the people's livelihood, he has to find a foothold for the nearly 80,000 troops gathered outside Yecheng that now nominally belong to him. It can be seen that Liu Bei at this time is very unhappy.

It's not just the group of Black Mountain thieves who have been nesting in the mountains for many years and can't even solve the problem of basic food and clothing, who love and hate and generally regard destroying the corn fields that do not belong to them as a pleasure to kill time, but also Yuan Xi, who thought that he would surrender the city knowing that he was invincible, didn't know what was wrong, and he had such a tough attitude.

The spies who entered and exited the city had already sent accurate information, and at this moment Yecheng was full of calculations, in fact, there were only 20,000 Jizhou soldiers, if it was forced to defend the city, with these troops, plus hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass that had almost accumulated the entire Jizhou harvest for several years, in exchange for others, such as him Liu Bei. Even if you stick to it for half a year, it won't be a problem. But at this moment, the highest governor in the city is Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, who was still alive when Yuan Shao was still there. A swinger who hardly interferes in military affairs, where did he get such a full confidence, which is what Liu Bei can't figure out the most.

Liu Bei is not drilling, but under the halo of pig's feet, a kind of prophetic awareness of danger, with this luck, Liu Bei does not know how many seemingly nidal robberies he has avoided in the past ten years. And at this moment, both the strength and the time of day have an absolute advantage. This feeling appeared again, and Liu Bei couldn't figure out what went wrong.

In the previous scolding battle with Yuan Xi, Liu Bei actually didn't take advantage of it. Don't look at this Yuan Xi'er, he has accumulated a lot of reputation so far. was even overwhelmed by the eldest brother Yuan Tan before, but that was also the matter of the old Yuan family's own family. Liu Bei, as a hero who cherishes the feathers he relies on for survival more than his life, after Yuan Xi is more serious, he really can't think of anything that can be morally suppressed to stop the second son of the Yuan family. I could only grit my back molars and listen to the loud voices of the soldiers under Yuan Xi's command. On the other hand, he secretly sent Zhao Yun to contact Zhang Yan, who was "pacifying" the Black Mountain bandits. While thinking about what was wrong.

The Montenegrin thieves are very "obedient". After Liu Bei's orders were conveyed layer by layer, in addition to the two thousand Black Mountain soldiers who were arranged by Zhang Yan to block Liu Bei in front of Liu Bei as a "meat shield", the Black Mountain thieves who were crowded in the rear were slowly moving towards the east and west sides of Yecheng, and from time to time there were bursts of noisy shouting and scolding to maintain order.

"Something is wrong!" Liu Bei has also taken Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with five hundred county soldiers to fight on the battlefield since the Yellow Turban Rebellion more than ten years ago, although he is not proficient in every move on the battlefield, he is by no means a novice. At this moment, the actions of the Black Mountain thieves made Liu Bei seem to suddenly pluck a tight string in his heart.

Even if it's a novice on the battlefield. You should also know that Liu Bei's original intention was to borrow the Black Mountain bandits, although their combat strength was not good. But the advantage of winning is in the number of people, even if you can't talk about Yecheng being surrounded by groups, but it is more than enough to make a siege of three que, now in the southwest of Yecheng, facing Cao Cao's troops of the White Horse Port, only four hundred miles before and after, as long as Yuan Xi can't bear it and really wants to escape, nine out of nine will collide with Cao Cao's military formation. Therefore, Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to pass on the message, which was to use a total of 50,000 Montenegrin soldiers led by Chu Cheng and brought by Zhang Yan to divide 20,000 each to block the east and west gates of Yecheng, not to win the battle, but to win the time for the Montenegrin thieves and the Youzhou cavalry to win the attack if Yuan Xi broke through.

But before Liu Bei was angry with Yuan Xi, his heart was not here, but when he found out, he suddenly discovered that he was supposed to obey the orders to march to the east and west gates of Yecheng. Liu Bei really hoped that this was just because the Black Mountain thieves were not in accordance with the rules when marching, and they did not understand that in this situation, this kind of action as a rear army was very easy to cause unease in the Youzhou soldiers as a friendly army.

"Liu Bei Pifu! Weavers and sellers! Being in the plains and anti-Qingzhou, living in Youzhou and imprisoning the master, pretending to help each other and seek my city! Is it true that everyone in the world is stupid? Liu Bei is still not sure what Zhang Yan, who has said that he is sincerely seeking refuge in several letters, what his intentions are, but on the wall of Yecheng, the dozen or so soldiers with big voices are more and more cheerful, and they directly carry out personal attacks. Liu Bei's Youzhou soldiers under the city wall were about to be blown up. Although these people may not understand the great truth of the lord's sorrow and humiliation, the lord's humiliation and death. But who has been scolded for being the boss of his own family for so long, the anger in his heart is also rising upwards as the rising sun shines higher and higher. Many Youzhou soldiers didn't know how many times they clenched the spears and short knives in their hands, and just waited for Liu Bei's order, so they went to the pioneer to drive out the "friendly army" of the Black Mountain thieves who had been squeezed over like "the same enemy" to fill the pit, and then they went to the city to fight and made meritorious contributions.

"My lord! The Black Mountain Thief's movements are not quite right! Liu Bei's cronies Chen Dao also noticed the movements of the Black Mountain Thieves, especially now that there are 2,000 Black Mountain soldiers blocking the front of the city, and there are tens of thousands of Black Mountain thieves behind them, how do you look like they are going to surround their own nearly 20,000 soldiers, and they also heard Liu Bei's instructions to the Black Mountain Thieves before, and Chen Dao, who has been holding back until now, reminded Liu Bei in a low voice.

"Huh?" Chen Zhi's words happened to make Liu Bei, who felt that something was not quite right, suddenly enlightened. Liu Bei doesn't have the heart to pay attention to what Ye Chengzhong is scolding anymore! Chen Dao's words were like a wake-up call, which exploded in Liu Bei's ears. What do the Montenegrin thieves want to do? Originally, Liu Bei was not so easy to believe in one, but he had only been under his command for less than ten days, and he had been born as a thief before. Even a few days ago, he had just had a huge conflict with his own army. It's just because of the desire for Yecheng, and the luck psychology that has already detained Zhang Yan's slave and wants to use Zhang Yan's power. It was only then that Liu Yuanjun, who had the halo of pig's feet in the late Han Dynasty, lost his vigilance for a while. At this moment, after listening to Chen Zhi's reminder, if he doesn't wake up, he won't be Liu Bei.

"How long has Zilong been gone? Why haven't you come back yet? Liu Bei's hands holding the reins now trembled a little, but his expression remained unchanged at all, and Chen Zhi, who asked in a low voice, said to warn.

"Zilong thinks he won't be able to squeeze in for a while!" How many are the 80,000 army? This concept is not easy to say, in short, at this moment, from the city of Yecheng to the north to the side of the mountain more than ten miles away. The wide territory is already crowded with people. If there were cannons in this era, one shell would go down, and it would be this dense formation. There were hundreds of casualties and thousands. That is, Liu Bei is still more than 100 steps away from Yecheng, and he can avoid the range of the strong bow, otherwise as long as he really starts attacking the city, I am afraid that he has not yet rushed to the city. will cause great casualties. It's in such a dense formation. Riding back and forth, as Chen Zhi said, you have to squeeze it. Not to mention that the bandit soldiers in Montenegro intentionally or unintentionally used geese to continuously shrink the "territory" of Liu Bei's soldiers.

"Liu Bei Pifu! You're not human! Aren't you good at war? Don't you have a peerless general! Don't you covet the wealth of my Yecheng! You're here to attack! A certain lord is looking down on you big-eared traitor from the top of the city wall! Why don't you dare to move lightly? "The scolding on the wall of Yecheng has not weakened at all, and I don't know how many loud sergeants have been replaced, Liu Beijun's side has been silent for a long time because of lack of preparation, and the scolding over there has not decreased much at all.

"My lord. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, although he does not know what the Black Mountain thief has in mind for such an action. I really have to guard against it! The lord must not stand here again, quickly retreat to the Chinese army with the last general, and after finding out what the black mountain thief wants, it is better to do it again! "Chen Zhi, who can be used by Liu Bei as a general of the guard, is not under Zhao Yun, but has no reputation in Liu Bei's army. Seeing that Liu Bei also noticed the abnormal movement of the Black Mountain thief, when his fierce general Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun were not by his side at the moment, he did not instigate Liu Bei to startle the snake, and made the most correct decision for Liu Bei in the shortest possible time.

"Good! Uncle Zhi is reasonable! Liu Bei nodded knowingly, seeing that a black mountain thief was only more than ten steps away from his military horse recently, Liu Bei lowered his voice and said, making a look of being angered by the scolding of the head of Yecheng City, holding a horsewhip and nodding the head of Yecheng City, slowly turning the horse's head, it seemed like he was going back to the army to give an order, under the escort of Chen Zhi, in a small road that his soldiers were easy to squeeze out, and walked towards the Chinese army.

"Lord, Liu Bei was still in front of the formation just now, and he disappeared at this moment." The scolding array at the head of Yecheng City continued, and on top of the Yecheng City Tower, while conjecturing about the beautiful vision after relying on the Black Mountain Bandits to annihilate Liu Bei's army, Yuan Xi, who was drinking with his beautiful maid in his arms, and entertained himself Yuan Xi, who had not put Liu Beijun in the eyes of the soldiers who were coming to the city, was suddenly bumped in by the Yecheng soldiers who had ordered to stare at Liu Bei before, and said in a panic.

"What? Missing? What do you all eat? How long has it been? Yuan Xi knows that all the beauty of the future is the premise that Liu Beijun, who is outside the city at this moment, is all annihilated. Just now, Liu Bei, who was still interested in this soldier, was angry, but he was helpless against the thick walls of Yecheng, and used it to accompany wine and have fun. At this time, he suddenly heard the news that Liu Bei's figure was missing, and Yuan Xi asked anxiously.

"It's about time to burn incense!" The soldier lowered his head deeply, not daring to look up at Yuan Xi's eyes that wanted to eat people, and he hesitated for a moment before he said stubbornly.

"I'll go to you for a stick of incense!" Yuan Xi pushed away the beautiful maid who was covering her chest, picked up the wine bud at hand, and smashed it at the soldier who came to report the news, with an angry look, and said: "Since Liu Bei is missing, why do you have to wait until a stick of incense to report, if you run away to Liu Bei this time, I want your whole family to die!" ”

"No! Nuo ...... "This soldier didn't dare to dodge at all, and was hit on the forehead by the bronze wine shot by Yuan Xihan angrily, and the blood flowed down instantly, and the soldier didn't dare to wipe it, just kowtowed in fear, and claimed to be guilty."

"Humph! Don't knock! Go and tell those guys who are still yelling to change their words! Send a letter to General Zhang, the leader of the Montenegrin volunteers! Let Zhang Yan act quickly, and Liu Bei must not be allowed to escape his life! Yuan Xi kicked the case in front of him several times. Standing up with the hilt of the sword, with a hideous look on his face, he saw that the soldier was still waiting for Yuan Xi's next words. roared angrily: "What are you doing stunned? Waiting for death here? Why don't you go soon? ”

"Liu Bei Pifu! Ignoring the laws of the Great Han! Unprovoked offense against my state and county! God hates it! Anyone who has insight, why not fight it together! ”

Just now, he was still attacking Liu Bei personally, but the sudden change of rhetoric at this moment made Liu Bei, who was being protected by Chen Zhi and hiding among the soldiers of the Chinese army, suddenly feel a little uneasy.

"Handsome! Where Childe is, he has already heard clearly, and he is in ...... Hey? Yuan Xigongzi signaled! We are the first to ......" Yu Poison just used the attitude of asking three questions and not knowing. Pretending to be stupid, he sent away Zhao Yun, the general of Liu Beijun, who was already suspicious, and was reporting to Zhang Yanyu, who had a gloomy face, that Chu Cheng, who was being detained by Guan Yu, was at this time, when he suddenly heard the wind coming. Zhang Yan and Yuan Xi agreed on a signal to flank Liu Bei in advance.

"Humph! Our second son of the Yuan family is also an anxious son, and after saying that he would wait for the time, Liu Beijun's fighting spirit retreated slightly. Strike when morale is declining. It's still half an hour away. Why are you so breathless? The corners of Zhang Yan's mouth showed a sneer, and she said to the poison: "You just said that Cheng'er is near the left?" Still being detained by Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu? Hum! This Liu Bei really looks up to me Zhang Yan! ”

"Yes, handsome! The last general will lead the cavalry to Guan Yu's place, and he must rescue the son! Yu Poison understood the displeasure in Zhang Yan's tone. As Zhang Yan's confidant general, he naturally knew what his handsome man really thought in his heart after betraying Cao Cao, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said.

"Nope! This time, I went in person! Zhang Yan closed her eyes and muttered for a moment, then glanced in the direction of Yecheng. It is not the same as turning the horse's head viciously, and suddenly the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked with a sneer. He said suddenly.

Guan Yu didn't know at this moment that Zhang Yan, the first thief of the Black Mountain, had already set his eyes on Chu Cheng, who seemed to be cowering even though he was loosely tied at this moment. This young marshal of the Black Mountain thief, the eldest prince of Chu, who was arrogant before, no longer has the same turbulent momentum as before. Only when he occasionally lowered his head, looking at his own cavalry not far in front of him from the corner of his eye, Chu Cheng's eyes showed a little ruthlessness.

Chu Cheng is not stupid, so naturally he will not hope that he will be fast and can escape the sight of this peerless fierce general with a green and red face next to him and return to his own army. Yesterday's amazing knife alone made the Black Mountain thief who was still by his side a moment ago lose his life in an instant without even seeing who was coming, which was enough to make Chu Cheng, who was very life-sparing, unable to have the slightest thought. What's more, at this moment, the second master Guan next to him is in a very bad mood because of the scolding on the head of the city wall, God knows that if he moves slightly, the next moment will be the end of the first two places.

"Uncle!" In the end, he was still sharp-eyed, just when Yechengzhong suddenly changed his slogan, Chu Cheng suddenly found that he had never been so eager to see what he had never wanted to see, his "uncle" Black Mountain thief, the figure of Zhang Yan, Chu Cheng was so excited that he almost cried, and the figure that was still on the horse just now straightened up a lot because of Zhang Yan's arrival.

"General Guan! Zhang Congzi took care of General Meng in front of the battle this time, and Zhang was really grateful! At present, the main office is in urgent need of a general like General Guan to serve, and Zhang no longer dares to entrust General Guan to take care of this rebel! How about that bring it back? Zhang Yan had already stopped when he was still more than twenty steps away from Guan Yu, not at all intimidated by Guan Yu's arrogant and indifferent expression and the eyes of the guards around him with a bit of hatred, and immediately rushed at Guan Yu with his fists, and said extremely politely.

"Is there a warrant from a certain big brother?" Guan Yu didn't seem to see Zhang Yan here. Without lifting his eyelids, he squinted his eyes slightly and stroked his beard, and asked indifferently.

"Didn't your eldest brother say that I would ask you to take care of my son-in-law's hangover? Now that my handsome family has come to pick it up in person, why do you still need a warrant from Rausch? Didn't you treat my son-in-law as a prisoner? Guan Yu's words were too polite, Zhang Yan's face was cold when he heard it, but Yu Yu Yu beside him was not as good as Zhang Yan's "cultivation", so he directly said angrily.

"Humph!" Guan Yu didn't even bother to reply this time, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand pointed obliquely at the ground, and even his face was "reluctant" to give Zhang Yan the same poison.

"You red-faced thief!" Yu Poison had never been ignored like this, his chest was already angry, and he turned his head to Chu Cheng beside Guan Yu and said: "Don't be afraid, Childe, come here, I really don't believe that this red-faced thief dares to do something to Childe in front of the handsome!" ”

"Huh?" Yu Poison's words made Chu Cheng's mind a lot more lively, but yesterday's Guan Yu's knife was indeed too infiltrating, Chu Cheng didn't even dare to raise his head, and only dared to look at his "uncle" with the corner of his eyes. Seeing that although Zhang Yan didn't speak, he bowed slightly, and Chu Cheng was relieved.

"Dare!" Chu Cheng hesitantly glanced at Guan Yu, whose face was sinking like water, and saw that Guan Yu did not have the slightest expression because of Yu Poison's words, and was just about to move, but suddenly saw Guan Yu suddenly turn around, a pair of eyes that seemed to be risking killing intent stared over, and the word "dare" was like a thunderbolt on his tongue, and it was like a thunderbolt when he landed, which made Chu Cheng intuitively feel that his crotch was a lot warmer. The hands holding the reins trembled involuntarily, and the legs that controlled the shape of the horse's belly suddenly became stiff and did not obey the call, and it was actually an "oops", and Guan Yu's roar was so frightened that he fell off the horse.

"Cheng'er!"

"Childe!"

"Huh!? Ha ha! Heaven can do evil, self-inflicted, can live! (To be continued......)
