Chapter 56: Liu Bei Sends Troops

Even though Zhou Yu's bronze and fire high-ranking dragon clan hybrids have the ability to command thousands of armies and horses, they can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and they can also release a large-scale fire element attack to annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops, but at this moment, he was caught off guard by Zhang Fei, who is also a high-ranking dragon clan hybrid but specializes in martial arts, just like a mage who is put in the face by a warrior, and he can only flee in a hurry.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu was reckless, the high-ranking bloodlines of the Bronze and Fire Dragon Clans exploded in an instant, his whole body was shrouded in flames, his clothes were flying, his beard and hair fluttered vertically upward, his hands crossed and crossed, and two ten-meter-long fire blades slid straight towards Zhang Fei.

However, Zhang Fei just roared, and Zhou Yu's flame attack dissipated, and the Zhangba snake spear poked forward, in Zhou Yu's eyes, it was like a winding green dragon rushing over, Zhou Yu was startled and fell to the ground. Zhang Fei roared and rushed towards Zhou Yu, and the Zhangba snake spear danced, like a giant python, about to harvest Zhou Yu's life.

The end of life is in front of him, Zhou Yu looked at the approaching Zhangba snake spear, there was no panic in his eyes, no remorse, only dazed, a child's blank paper, death is just around the corner, what else do you think about anything else.

In a trance, Zhou Yu saw two young generals inserted in front of him and Zhang Fei, resisting and fighting, and then a pair of solid arms helped Zhou Yu up, Zhou Yu came to his senses, and saw Zhu Ran and Xu Sheng fighting with Zhang Fei, the blades were constantly clashing, sparks were flying, Zhou Yu sighed: Sure enough, his own force is not good.

Lu Meng, who was standing beside Zhou Yu who helped Zhou Yu up, said: "Dudu, the enemy army is fierce, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it." ”

Zhou Yu also knew that he couldn't resist it, but as soon as Lu Meng said it, he was embarrassed to say that he retreated for the sake of face. Zhou Yu was hesitating, Guan Yu brandished the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife and attacked the horse, shouting, "Guan Yu is here, who dares to give death!" A knife split Zhang Fei, Zhu Ran, and Xu Sheng.

Zhou Yu shouted helplessly: "Withdraw!" ”

Zhou Yu's whole army retreated to Jiangxia, entered the city from the west city gate, Jiangxia soldiers had not finished entering, Guan Yu Zhang Fei led the army into the city, and continued to pursue Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu had no choice but to lead Lu Su, Lu Meng, Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng and others from the east gate of Jiangxia and threw themselves to Lujiang County in the east. Zhou Yu and the others fled in a hurry, and I don't know how many Jiangdong soldiers were left in Jiangxia City, all of them were taken by Zhang Fei Guan Yu's obscenity and surrendered.

It is said that Liu Bei used Jiang Wan's strategy to capture a county with the strength of a county without much effort, and there were many prisoners, and he was overjoyed. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little jealous, they were relieved when they thought of Jiang Wan's talent and easily took Jiangxia County under his arrangement.

As for Jiang Wan, he didn't think about trying it out, but he caught Jiangdong Zhou Lang off guard, not only captured Jiangxia County, but also surrendered and enriched more than 10,000 soldiers. Confidence is full, so Zhou Lang is not very good, but he still said to Liu Bei clearly:

"Jiangxia is a lonely city, easy to attack and difficult to defend, now although Jiangxia has been taken by us, Zhou Yu has fled; However, Sun Quan reorganized his army and led the army to attack from Lujiang or Chaisang, and Jiangxia was afraid that he would not be protected. ”

"Ah, what then?" Liu Bei's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and he cried. Just now Liu Bei was about to tell Jiang Wan about moving to Jiangxia, I am a dignified uncle of the Han Emperor, and I have no face to live in a county town, but I didn't expect to hear Jiang Wan say that Jiangxia is not guaranteed.

"Don't worry, my lord." Being relied on will have a great sense of accomplishment, and Jiang Wan felt it at this time and said:

"If we take Jiangxia City, we may soon be recaptured by Sun Quan, but we have gained a large number of soldiers in Jiangxia. These surrendered soldiers, if the Jiangdong soldiers attacked, it was very likely that they would rebel. But we can use these surrendered soldiers to attack other places, for example. Jiang Wan pointed to Runan, Xuchang, Wancheng, Shangyong, Xiangyang, and Jiangling around Xinye on the map.

"Directly attack Xu Du?" When Jiang Wan pointed to Xuchang, Liu Bei exclaimed, "I'm afraid this won't work!" Xu is the lair of Cao thieves, how can he not let go of heavy troops? ”

"Well, since the lord thinks so, let's fight somewhere else." Jiang Wan replied blandly, the lord did not agree, there was no need for the ministers not to advise, and Jiang Wan did not know the political benefits after seizing Xuchang.

In fact, it is not only in Zhang Quan's script that exists after the crossing, but in history, when Liu Bei was driven to Xinye, Cao Cao was still gradually encroaching on Yuan Shao's territory in the north, and he had no time to take care of Liu Bei, and Cao Cao's army was placed in the north, and Xuchang was guarded by Xun Yu with a small number of soldiers. At this time, if Liu Bei copied the path from Xinye and attacked Xuchang directly, it was very likely that he would directly take Xuchang and make Emperor Han Xian control him, not only in terms of strength but also psychologically, and deal a heavy blow to Cao Cao.

However, after analyzing this, it is also possible that Liu Bei did not expect to attack Xuchang at that time, but thought more. Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Ma Teng, etc., can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he can't. Liu Xie is in his hands, he can't kill it, and he has wronged himself if he pays tribute. So Liu Bei in history did not take action, and wandered in Xinye for six years.

"Zhang Xiu's Xiangyang and Jiangling, let's not attack them first. After all, when I asked Zhang Xiu to borrow Xinye, he agreed without saying a word, and now I turned my face to take his city, and others said that I lacked benevolence. Liu Bei said.

"Okay." Jiang Wan replied, you can play as much as you like, anyway, you are the lord.

"Liu Bi of Runan and Ma Chao of Shangyong are both harsh people, I should go and ask for my life; Cao Ren of Wancheng in Nanyang, after capturing General Zhang Xiu's Wancheng, did not allow the people of Wancheng to go south to follow the British lord, I couldn't stand it for a long time! Good! We can send troops to Runan, Wancheng, and Shangyong. Gongyan's plan is good! I, Liu Xuande, can meet Gongyan, it's really a blessing to me! Liu Bei said.

"Wait, lord, I heard the lord mention Zhang Xiu just now, Nanyang is Zhang Xiu's homeland, why don't we take some soldiers and grass from Zhang Xiu on the grounds of attacking Nanyang?"

"This idea," Liu Bei looked at Jiang Wan, "Okay." You go and draft the paperwork! ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and asked Jiang Wan and Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 soldiers to the west to fight Shangyong Ma Chao, Guan Yu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north to fight Wancheng Cao Ren, and he took Zhang Bao Guan Ping to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses along the mountain road to the east to fight Runan.

Let's talk about Liu Bei first, Runan Liu Pi has been supported by Yuan Shao to harass Cao Cao in the south, after the defeat of Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, Liu Pi gave up, and Xun Yuxiang, who stayed in Xuchang, directly took Runan, but because there was no general and no soldiers, he let Liu Pi go in Runan.

Liu Pi was originally a reckless character, Xun Yu didn't come to beat him, and he didn't want to do anything, so he was happy and happy, and continued to play in Runan City.

When Liu Bei's army invaded Runan City, Liu Pi was still competing with many guests in a large mansion to compete in martial arts, boxing and drinking. Liu Bi saw Liu Bei coming, and thought that it was the friend he had received who came to see him, and was greeting him, when he saw Liu Bei's face familiar, Zhang Bao's fierce voice beside him was solemn, and he saw that Liu Bei's military appearance was strict and neat, and the flag was in the air; Immediately alerted, he turned and retreated into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and let the guards protect themselves.

said that Liu Bei was looking for Liu Bi, and when he saw Liu Bi, Liu Bi had already retreated to the house, and the gate of the house was closed in a hurry. At this time, Runan's soldiers also gradually attacked Liu Beijun, and Liu Beijun resisted the attack of Runan's soldiers while hitting the door or climbing over the wall to attack the house.

The gate couldn't be opened for a while, and Liu Bi's guests in the courtyard were all martial arts masters, and Liu Bei's soldiers who climbed over the wall to get in were knocked to the ground in a few clicks. The defenders of Runan kept attacking, although the quality was not very good, but there were many people, and Liu Bei gradually fell into a disadvantage.

It is said that this mansion in Runan has accepted Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and today it has accepted a more important person, Wei Yan.

Wei Yan in the courtyard of the house was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Bei was attacking, and immediately decided to follow Liu Bei, and the meeting gift was to defect from the battle. So Wei Yan secretly ran over and opened the gate, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, he quickly interspersed the guards who were guarding Liu Bi, grabbed Liu Bi, and shouted:

"Uncle Liu Huang of the Great Han is coming, you are not ready to be arrested!"

Everyone who was fighting was stunned when they heard Wei Yan's shout, and Liu Bei Guan Ping was also stunned, they could only say that Wei Yan's words were too nonsensical and wonderful. Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty, as long as he brings the "emperor", is very deterrent.

At this time, Zhang Bao was not idle, and stepped forward to snatch the weapons of all the guests in the mansion, Liu Bei also reacted and stepped forward to capture Liu Pi. The soldiers surrendered.

Liu Pi shouted:

"Weavers! In vain, I took in your three brothers, but today you will take revenge, take my Runan, and hurt my life!"

Liu Bei said lightly, and let everyone hear it again:

"You have Nanan, but you have it today, but you are harsh and deceitful to the people, and you have failed the gift of the Holy God to you, and I, as the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, took over Runan for the Son of Heaven today, which is justifiable. Of course, you are kind to the three of us brothers, and I will not kill you today. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he asked Zhang Bao to drive Liu Bi away.

Wei Yan looked at Liu Bei with blank eyes, and Liu Bei came to him in his anticipation and shouted:

"Axeman, take this man down!"

In the astonishment of Wei Yan and everyone, Wei Yan didn't have time to react, several pairs of arms pressed Wei Yan, and two shiny knives were on Wei Yan's neck.

"You! You! I am gracious to you, why do you want to kill me! Wei Yan shouted.

A person who can betray others for you is likely to betray for the sake of others.

"On the verge of defection, I, Liu Xuande, hate this kind of person the most in my life, and I should be beheaded!" Liu Bei shouted, his eyes staring at Wei Yan's big eyes, Wei Yan felt that his eyes were pierced by Liu Bei's gaze, and then Liu Bei said lightly:

"But seeing that you have made meritorious contributions to our army, you will offset the merits and demerits, and no longer pursue them, so you can stay by my side."

"Thank you, lord!" Wei Yan fell to his knees.

Many of Liu Pi's guests knelt down to follow Uncle Liu Huang, and Liu Bei agreed one by one.

Liu Bei captured Runan, harvested Wei Yan and other generals, tens of thousands of soldiers, countless grains and grasses, and his strength soared.
