"Peiguo Xu Zhongkang is here, who dares to come up and send him to death?! If you know each other, quickly kneel and surrender! ”

On the bank of the soaking river, Xu Chu, who had been killed all over the blood, immediately guarded the soaking water bridge on the way back to the city of Liu Bei's defeated army, and the soldiers of Liu Bei, who had escaped the bridge, did not dare to come back to respond, and the soldiers of Liu Bei, who had not had time to cross the bridge, were all frightened. However, an infantry of the Xuzhou Army belonging to Zang Ba's team took the opportunity to rush up and rushed to Xu Chu's side to assist in guarding the bridge, completely cutting off the return route of Liu Bei's defeated army.

Seeing that the Xuzhou army was about to be encircled, one of Liu Beijun's generals was in a hurry, and in order to regain the way back, he shot Xu Chu and shouted, "Piff, die!" ”

Xu Chu did not move, sneered and did not dodge, the Qu general saw Xu Chu Tuo's heart secretly happy, and he shouted again, the spear stabbed Xu Chu in the chest, until the gun reached the chest, Xu Chu suddenly reached out of his left hand, grabbed the gun and pushed the head of the gun forward, the Qu general only felt a huge force hit, both hands could not hold the gun and the tiger's mouth was ground out of blood, the end of the gun hit the front chest of the Qu general, blood splashed, the gun pierced the chest of the Liu Beijun Qu general, protruding from the vest, and the Qu general also opened his eyes in surprise, With an incredulous look in his eyes, he fell off his horse and died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, of course, the Xuzhou army was thunderous, and Liu Beijun's generals and soldiers were all horrified, scrambling to flee from Xu Chu's side. Zhang Fei on the Xiaopei city wall not far away saw that his eyes were spitting fire, and he was about to rush down the city wall to fight Xu Chu to the death, and Uncle Liu Huang, the master of battlefield life, hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei and said loudly: "The third brother must not be reckless, the enemy is outnumbered, and he must not act impulsively, it will only be in vain." ”

"What about the soldiers on the other side of the river?" Zhang Fei pointed to the defeated soldiers of Liu Beijun, who were surrounded by the Xuzhou army on the other side of the water, and shouted: "There are at least six or seven hundred soldiers of our army on the other side, if the junior brother does not meet them, what will they do?" ”

"I am outnumbered, third brother, you are injured again, you are not the opponent of Xu Zhongkang for the time being, you still need to be patient." Uncle Liu Huang said with tears in his eyes: "As for the soldiers who have not had time to withdraw from the river, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky, so we can only look at their creation." Zhang Fei stood stunned for a long time, and finally smashed the snake spear on the city wall, roaring and venting, and the tiger's eyes were already full of tears.

Today's battle, although not the worst battle that Uncle Liu Huang lost in his life, but definitely the most lost battle, four thousand troops out of the city and the gentleman's army field duel, in the case of taking advantage of the advantage of troops and fierce generals, was shot by the gentlemen army of less than 1,000 people suffered heavy casualties, Guan Yu was seriously injured, Zhang Fei also hung the color, forced to retreat and was stabbed in the waist by Zang Ba, only about 1,000 people escaped back to Xiaopei alive, and the rest were either annihilated, or completely surrounded by the Xuzhou army, and there was no chance to flee in all directions.

After so many years of fighting, Uncle Liu Huang was really the first time that the enemy defeated the strong with the weak, and it was the first time that he was beaten so badly when the strength was basically equal. And what made Uncle Liu Huang even more frightened was the rapid growth of the comprehensive strength of the Xuzhou army, not to mention the gentleman's army with clever tactics that could not be solved, Uncle Liu Huang was proud of the fierce generals, Xu Chu and Chen Zhi, who suddenly appeared, also completely killed Uncle Liu Huang by surprise, and there were countless elite soldiers of Liu Beijun's army who died under the knife of these two fierce generals in the melee, if it wasn't for Uncle Liu Huang's desperate pulling, I am afraid that Zhang Fei, who was wounded, would also die in the hands of these two people!

"I really underestimated Tao Ying'er, I knew this was the case, I really should have listened to Mi Zifang's suggestion and sent assassins to kill this deceitful child!" Sighing quietly with great regret, Uncle Liu Huang quickly calculated in his heart, "What should I do next?" Stubbornly defending Xiaopei and waiting for reinforcements? Send someone to ask Lu Bu for help? Or send someone to Tao Yingxiao'er to sue for peace? Or, simply give up Xiaopei and go to the East China Sea, or go to the North Sea to join Kong Rong? ”

After some hard fighting and persuasion, most of the remnants of Liu Bei's army who were trapped on the south bank of the soaked water still put down their weapons and surrendered, and a small number of recalcitrant resistors were also killed by the Zang Bajun army and the Junzi army, which occupied an absolute advantage, so far, the battle of the Junzi army's long-distance attack on Xiaopei City finally ended, and the Xuzhou army ate nearly half of Liu Bei's troops in one breath at a small price. It facilitated the next siege of the Xuzhou army.

The results of the battle have been brilliant so far, the first time to join forces to fight the gentleman's army and Zang Ba army, up and down of course are jubilant, the call to take Xiao Pei on the situation is also one after another, Tao Ying conformed to the army's heart, decided not to withdraw to the county for the time being, and ordered to camp ten miles south of Xiao Pei City, monitor Xiao Pei's enemy's every move on the spot, and at the same time ordered to kill pigs and sheep, reward the three armies, Xuzhou army, naturally also sounded another round of earth-shattering cheers.

When it was about to get dark, the camp was set up, and after handing over the vigil task to the new army who came from Liuxian, Tao Ying set up a banquet in the tent to reward the generals and celebrate today's great victory. During the banquet, Zang Ba and other Langya generals had no choice but to praise the ability of the Junzi Army to run long distances, eight hundred miles away, in less than six days to kill Xiaopei City, and killed the enemy by surprise, Tao Ying was humble again and again, and repeatedly praised Zang Ba's single-handedly resistance to Liu Lu's joint army, and Zang Ba and others talked very happily. But at this time, the guards outside the tent suddenly rushed in to report, saying that Liu Bei had sent Jian Yong as an envoy to ask to see Tao Ying.

"What did the big-eared thief send an envoy for?" Tao Ji said inexplicably: "Do you want to come to sue for peace again?" ”

"What else can you do but be cheeky and make peace?" Tao Ying sneered, and immediately remembered that because Zhang Fei seized Lu Bu's war horse and started a war, Liu Beigang and Lu Bu fought and immediately sued for peace, and snorted coldly: "If I guessed correctly, after Jian Yong entered the account, he would definitely explain again and again that the attack on Liuxian was restricted by the alliance, and the soldiers who killed me in Xuzhou were also blindless on the battlefield. ”

"He wants to be beautiful!" Tao Ji said angrily: "He has less virtue in Xuzhou? In addition to killing the generals and soldiers of our army, the evil deeds of the Mizhu brothers, which one was not instructed by his big-eared thief behind his back? ”

"But we don't have proof." Tao Ying spread his hands helplessly, then turned to Zang Ba next to him and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan, all the losses in the battle in Liuxian are all your soldiers, and when Jian Yong comes in and refuses the errand of the big-eared thief to sue for peace, I will ask you." ”

Zang Ba laughed knowingly, agreed, Tao Ying also laughed, and then ordered to summon Jian Yong, and after Jian Yong entered the account, he really pushed all the faults of the previous battle of Liuxian County to the waste paper of the Cao Lu Covenant, and repeatedly stated that Liu Bei was forced to send troops because of the restrictions of the covenant, and the original intention was also to take the opportunity to persuade Lu Bu to withdraw the army, but there were no eyes on the battlefield, which hurt the surname of the Xuzhou soldiers. Now Tao Ying led his troops to the north and killed several times the soldiers of Liu Beijun in one go, and no matter how much anger he had, it should be gone. Therefore, Liu Bei asked Tao Ying to see the love and kindness of the past - that is, to see the face of Liu Bei leading the army to rescue Xuzhou last time, so that this matter would be over, and the two families would be reconciled again from then on and never offend each other.

Uncle Liu's words may be okay to pit others, but if you want to pit Deputy Director Tao, it is a dream - in this world, no one knows better than Deputy Director Tao what is the sad end of re-friendship after turning his face with Uncle Liu! But it's still that sentence, Deputy Director Tao is the kind of person who wants to be a bitch and wants to set up an archway, and he has indeed received Liu Bei's favor, so he can't say anything if he refuses, he can only put a soft mouth and pretend to be tempting, and Zang Ba also stood up without hesitation, holding Zhang Fei to kill Sun Kang, resolutely opposing reconciliation with Liu Bei, and directly said that if Tao Ying promised Liu Bei to make peace, he would lead the army to read the power again!

With Zang Ba's cruel words to pull hatred, Deputy Director Tao took the opportunity to get out and asked Jian Yong to persuade Zang Ba first, only if Zang Ba agreed to make peace, he could consider accepting Liu Bei's peace, Jian Yong had no choice but to plead to Zang Ba who was also bowing and bowing, and Zang Ba, who worshiped his brother Sun Kang who was killed, scolded him with confidence, not only refused, but also asked Liu Bei to send Zhang Fei's head to pay tribute to Sun Kang's spirit in the sky, and then he could consider accepting Liu Bei's request for peace. Jian Yong was even more helpless, so he had to obediently return to Xiaopei and report Tao Ying and Zang Ba's answers to Liu Bei.

Of course, Liu Bei couldn't give Zhang Fei's head to Zang Ba to sue for peace, and secretly scolded Zang Ba and the thief Kou Deli for not forgiving people, Liu Bei only had two choices, one was to stick to Xiaopei and wait for a turnaround, and the other was to abandon Xiaopei and flee overnight, and go to the territory of other princes to continue to swagger and deceive. And after weighing it again and again, because he was reluctant to give up Xiaopei's throat, which was rich in grain and grass and the terrain was dangerous, and considering that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both injured, and there was no one to protect him during the breakthrough, Liu Bei finally gritted his teeth and chose the former, and decided to gamble again, and waited for the turnaround in Xiaopeijian City.

Of course, Liu Bei, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, is not just blindly passive, in order to strive for a turnaround as soon as possible, Liu Bei sent Sun Gan, a strategist he had recruited in Xuzhou, and asked Sun Gan to go north of the city overnight, carrying a letter asking for help to Changyi City, Shanyang County, in the north, to ask for help from Lu Bu stationed there, asking Lu Bu to fulfill the alliance agreement and send troops south to rescue Xiaopei. At the same time, in order to move Lu Bu to send troops, Uncle Liu Huang also made an unprecedented frank statement in a letter, explaining to Lu Bu in detail the fiasco of his own army, and also telling the combat characteristics of the Junzi Army, so that Lu Bu could understand the danger faced by Xiao Pei, and also made Lu Bu, who was also good at cavalry warfare, curious, and gave birth to the idea of going south to fight with the Junzi army.

Xiaopei was only about 250 miles away from Changyi, and in order to gain time, Sun Qian traveled day and night with a fast horse, and it only took more than three days to arrive at Changyi - the key was that there were no stirrups, otherwise the speed would definitely be faster. Fortunately, in order to annex Xuzhou, the embarrassed duo of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, they were also eager to understand Xiaopei's war situation and the situation in Xuzhou, so they summoned Sun Qian on the same day, which bought a lot of valuable time for Uncle Liu Huang.

After the meeting, Sun Gan, who had been instructed by Liu Bei, did not hide it at all, and answered the questions of Lu Bu and Chen Gong completely, and said everything, not only detailing the battle situation of Xiaopei, but also focusing on the hooligan tactics of the Junzi Army The extremely dangerous surname, and at the same time took the initiative to report to Lu Bu that there are still 60,000 or 70,000 grains and grass in Xiaopei City, and Lu Bu only needs to send troops to rescue, just bring the food consumed along the way, and after arriving in Xiaopei City, Liu Beijun can immediately dedicate 50,000 Hu to Lu Bu's military rations, in order to thank Lu Wenhou's life-saving grace - Because of Mi Zhu, the richest man in Xuzhou, as a backer, Liu Bei really doesn't have to worry too much about food.

After listening to Sun Qian's introduction, Lu Wenhou was really moved, and said a few times: "Xuande is my brother, since he is trapped, I am personally leading the army south to rescue, by the way, let my Bingzhou Iron Cavalry go to touch Tao Yingxiaoer's gentleman's army, and see if Tao Ying'er's gentleman's cavalry is so powerful." ”

"Slow down." Chen Gong hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, then turned to Sun Qian and said, "Mr. Gongyou is tired from afar, please go down and rest first, and then give a reply to Xuande Gong after I have carefully discussed it with the lord." ”

"Wen Hou, Mr. Gongtai, Xiao Pei's situation is as dangerous as a tired egg, please send troops quickly, it will be too late." Sun Qian pleaded with a sad face.

"Mr. Gongyou, don't worry, it's not to persuade the lord not to send troops to rescue Xuande Gong, it's just that our army is now confronting Cao Thief head-on, fighting on two fronts, why do you have to discuss it carefully?" Chen Gong asked rhetorically with a smile.

Sun Qian was finally relieved when he heard this, so he took his leave and went to the pavilion with Lu Bujun to rest. As soon as Sun Qian's front foot left, Lu Bu immediately couldn't wait to ask Chen Gong: "Gongtai, Liu Bei and Tao Ying have fallen for our army's clever plan and turned their faces to fight, it is a godsend opportunity for our army to send troops to Xuzhou to fish in troubled waters, why did you stop me from sending troops immediately?" ”

"Lord, the situation has changed, our army's plan to annex the five counties of Xuzhou is only afraid that we have to think about it in the long run." Chen Gong frowned and said: "Lord, I miscalculated a little before, I underestimated Tao Ying's ability to be a child, judging from Liu Bei and Sun Gan's description, Tao Ying is by no means as easy to deal with as we expected. ”

"Hah!" Lu Bu laughed out loud and said proudly: "On the battlefield, who have I been afraid of? There are less than 1,000 people in Tao Yingxiao'er's Junzi Military Region, and one of us is enough to break it, so why should I be afraid of him? ”

"Of course, Wen Hou's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, but the combat methods of this gentleman's army are too strange, and Wen Hou rashly fights a decisive battle, but I am afraid that it will be equally difficult to win." Chen Gong warned: "Lord, you are the number one general in the world in the cavalry team, but when have you seen that nearly a thousand cavalry can turn around and release arrows while fleeing?" This tactic may seem simple, but in fact it can be ever-changing, and it is difficult to resist the enemy. ”

Lu Bu thought about it, although his Bingzhou cavalry was elite, only a very small number of elites were able to turn around and release arrows while escaping, and the Junzi army of nearly a thousand people could do this, and its bravery was indeed worthy of vigilance. And Chen Gong observed his words and took the opportunity to suggest: "Lord, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, now our army only knows Tao Yingxiao'er's gentleman's army, it is best not to rush into battle." Otherwise, once Tao Yingxiao'er can't fight for a long time, and Cao's army comes to attack Yanzhou again, won't our army have to suffer from both sides? Dilemma? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Gong's voice suddenly became cold, and Yin Yin said: "In view of this situation, according to the opinion of the following, the lord might as well sell Liu Bei to destroy the thief, and escort Sun Qian to Xiaopei to Tao Ying, indicating that our army went south because of Liu Bei's instigation, and took the opportunity to ask Tao Ying for peace and borrow food, Tao Ying must promise in order to deal with Liu Bei calmly, and also to borrow the strength of our army to resist Cao thief." And our army can not only get military food to alleviate the urgent need, but also get Tao Ying's strong reinforcement, if necessary, you can ask Tao Ying to send troops to Yanzhou to help our army break Cao! ”

If it was replaced by Boss Cao or Deputy Director Tao, Chen Gong's bad idea of lacking virtue and smoking would probably be adopted, but it is a pity that Lu Wenhou is not Boss Cao who would rather teach me to bear the people of the world and stop teaching the people of the world to bear me, let alone Deputy Director Tao Buqun who would rather teach the people of the world to bear me and stop teaching me to bear the people of the world. So after listening to Chen Gong's bad idea, which was actually very correct, Lu Bu was not happy and angry, and said: "Gongtai, Liu Bei is allied with me, and now ask me for help, if you don't agree with sending troops, forget it, why do you still persuade me to betray Liu Bei?" If I use your strategy, who will dare to join forces with me from now on? ”

"Lord, this is a troubled time, there is only deception and no woman's kindness." Chen Gong was anxious and said, "Haven't you forgotten how Han Fu treated Yuan Shao at the beginning, and how did Yuan Shao repay Han Fu?" Yuan Shao received countless great favors from Han Fu, and still took Han Fu Jizhou, Yuan Shao did this, how could the lord not do it? There is also the Cao Ying thief, and Lu Bo's extravagance ....... ”

"Shut up!" Lu Bu took another shot and shouted: "The public platform has to say again, I am Lu Bu, an upright man in the world, I don't care to do that kind of thing of chicken and dog thief!" I have made up my mind, send troops to help Liu, and Gongtai will have to persuade again! ”

"Alas, our army has one more strong enemy." Chen Gong sighed secretly, but said with a secret smile: "I also entered the Demon Dao, I abandoned Cao Ying and followed this son, isn't it because this son is not as vicious and vicious as Cao Thief?" If Wen Hou uses me, wouldn't he be the same as Cao Thief? ”

Thinking of this, Chen Gong no longer persuaded him, but just arched his hand and said: "Since the lord has made up his mind, then he will no longer persuade him, just ask the lord for the matter, when the lord goes south, please let Chen Gong accompany him, and there will be a discussion in case of trouble." ”

"It's good, but what about Changyi?" Lu Bu asked embarrassedly.

"Do you know the difficulty of fighting on two sides now?" Chen Gong muttered in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, the lord, General Gao Shun has always been steady, and his camp is only infantry, and the decisive battle with Tao Ying Xiaoer's gentleman's army is difficult to come in handy, the lord can leave Gao Shun to guard Changyi, Zhang Chao assists, even if the Cao thief comes, it is enough to hold on until the lord leads the army back to help." ”

Lu Bu was very satisfied when he heard this, and immediately nodded and agreed, and decided to lead an army of 8,000 to the south, rescue Liu Bei and find an opportunity to capture Xuzhou, and asked Chen Gong to arrange it quickly, Chen Gong agreed, and hurriedly went down to prepare for the expedition. But as soon as Chen Gong left, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in pink immediately rushed out of the back hall, opened her arms and threw herself into Lu Bu's arms with a sweet fragrance, hugged Lu Bu, buried her little face in Lu Bu's broad chest and rubbed it, Lu Bu's majestic and majestic face also showed some loving color, stroked the bun on the head of the girl in her arms, and said with a smile: "Cocoon, why are you here?" ”

"Just now I heard my dad shouting angrily in the backyard, and I was worried that my dad was angry and ruined, so I came over to take a look." The girl in pink replied sweetly, and said, "Daddy, don't you usually get angry often, okay?" Cocoon heard Lang Zhong say that being angry hurts the liver and is not good for her father's health. ”

"Okay, okay, Daddy promised Cocoon that he would be less angry in the future." Lu Bu agreed with a smile.

"Daddy is so nice." The girl was very excited, and hugged Lu Bu coquettishly and said: "Daddy, Cocoon just heard that Daddy is going on an expedition again, and Cocoon has no one to accompany you, Daddy, this time you will take Cocoon with you to go on the expedition, okay?" Cocoon is bored at home and wants to go out of the city to see the snow. ”

"This ......, Daddy is going to fight, not to go to the mountains and rivers, besides, you are a girl's family, there are no eyes on the battlefield, in case you ......."

"I'm not afraid, Daddy is the bravest general in the world, and he will definitely be able to protect Cocoon!"
