Early the next morning, the main force of Xuzhou, under the personal leadership of Deputy Director Tao, pulled out the camp and set up the army, and continued to rush north to Quyang to rescue, by the way to seek a decisive battle with Liu Beijun in the field. At the same time, Liu Huangshu, who went south to block the main force of Xuzhou to reinforce, also received the camp, led the army to slowly go south to the enemy Tao Ying, the two armies were in a hurry, met on the official road at noon, each shot the position and set up the formation, and the commanders of the two armies led their generals to leap out of the battle, and publicly answered in front of the formation.

"Big-eared thief, let's finally meet again!" Deputy Director Tao was full of armor and high spirits, and pointed at Uncle Liu Huang with a horsewhip and scolded vividly: "Under Quyang City, you won my Fengyu Army by luck, I want to see if you still have such luck today!" Hurry up and get off the horse and be bound, and spare you from death! ”

"Tao Ying thief, Hugh is rampant!" Uncle Liu Huang scolded without fear: "Last time in Yanzhou, if you weren't lucky enough to meet Yuan Shang on the battlefield, your head would have been cut off by my second and third brothers, and today I will also see, do you have that kind of luck as a thief?" Generals, who dares to take off Tao Ying's thief's head with me?! ”

Seeing that Tao Ying did not line up the invincible gentleman's army in front of the battle this time, but arranged it on the right wing, Zhang Fei, who was the most noisy with the surname, naturally wanted to step forward, and didn't want Uncle Liu Huang to grab him quickly, so that Gong Du, who was also surnamed Ge Anxious, grabbed the first battle, and was the first to rush into the formation, and then Uncle Liu Huang said in a low voice: "The third brother is in a hurry, the Tao thief will love to cheat the most, and see what tricks he has." Zhang Fei, who had suffered countless losses from the Junzi Army, thought so and retreated honestly.

It was very unexpected for everyone to have Tao Ying this time and Uncle Liu Huang, who had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two fierce men, and he did not cheat for the first time, and he happily released the new general Zhou Tai to fight against Gong Du, and Zhou Tai was also worthy of the name of the first outlaw of the Three Kingdoms. Why did you come up with an iron heart to die with yourself? The three peach brothers in the back are also inexplicable, I don't understand where Tao Ying got such a superb product, and he is simply a madman who doesn't want to die on the battlefield!

Can't stand Zhou Tai's crazy tricks, under timidity, Gong Du, whose martial arts are not as good as Zhou Tai, quickly couldn't parry, and was almost picked off the horse by Zhou Tai twice, Zhang Fei saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly patted the horse to help the battle, Tao Ying also rushed out of Xu Chu here, wielding a knife to stop Zhang Fei, Zhou Tai took the opportunity to shout, a shot hit Gong Du's thigh, Gong Du screamed and abandoned the gun and fled, Zhou Tai did not chase, but with red eyes and a gun to pounce on Zhang Fei, it was still a posture that came up and ended up together, although Zhang Fei was not afraid of Zhou Tai's desperate, But he couldn't stand being besieged by Xu Chu and Zhou Tai together, and suddenly the left and right sides were in danger, and Guan Yu and Liu Bi were worried that Zhang Fei would lose and rushed up together, Tao Ying also rushed out of Chen Zhi and Jiang Qin, and joined forces to fight Guan Yu, and Zhou Tai abandoned Zhang Fei to fight Liu Bi, and the seven generals were divided into three teams and fought hard into a group.

This is probably the fairest and most convincing battle for the enemy since the debut of Deputy Director Tao, the unsolvable and shameless gentleman's army without dispatching the fighting generals, completely according to the rules of the fighting generals preferred by this era, relying on the personal force of the generals to solve the problem, the drums and cheers on the battlefield shook the heavens and the earth, the seven generals swords and guns, the horses' hooves were chaotic, the roar was like thunder, and the fighting like a lamp turned around, and it was seen that the soldiers of the two armies were boiling with blood, shouting and cheering.

Although Guan Yu Zhang Fei is brave, but Tao Ying is a lot of people here, after forty or fifty rounds of melee, the madman Zhou Tai fought on his left shoulder and ate Liu Bi's knife, and took the opportunity to stab Liu Bi in the heart with a shot, stabbing Liu Bi's chest with a heart guard, Liu Bi screamed in fright, abandoned the knife and fled back to the main formation, Zhou Tai also ignored the wound on his shoulder, roared and rushed to Guan Yu on the other side, Guan Erye, who was being beaten by Chen Zhi and Jiang Qin, saw Zhou Tai so crazy, afraid of being entangled by this madman who didn't want to die, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rode his horse to escape, Chen To, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin joined forces to chase after them, and Uncle Liu Huang, who was behind him, was worried that the accomplice would fail, so he hurriedly ordered the golden gong to be sounded, beckoning the second and third brothers to flee back to the camp together.

When the general is beaten, the golden gong is basically equivalent to admitting defeat, which is a great blow to the morale of the army, Liu Beijun's morale is suddenly discharged, Tao Ying's side took the opportunity to order a general attack, and the main force of Xuzhou, which has more than 30,000 troops after the incorporation and surrender, shouted up, and Liu Huangshu, the master of battlefield life-saving, took the lead in escaping, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two fierce men, fought hard to protect the brigade and retreated to the north. At the same time, Tao Ji couldn't wait to send someone to Tao Ying to ask for battle, and asked to lead the gentleman's army, which was the fastest in the world, to rush to the front of Uncle Liu Huang to intercept it, but Tao Ying said angrily: "Tell Tao Ji to get back for me, don't take the Junzi army to risk, we still have more than 70,000 Yuan Shu troops in the north, and there are also Yuan Shu reinforcements from Zhang Xun and Liu Xun in the south. ”

Tao Ying was reluctant to take the gentleman's army to consume, undoubtedly a great help to our Uncle Liu, there was no enemy interception ahead, and Uncle Liu, who was experienced in escaping, could naturally show his strength and exert his skills in oiling the soles of his feet, leading the remnants of more than 15,000 defeated soldiers to run for their lives, the defeated but not chaotic skills, the orderly loss of armor, and the escape speed faster than a rabbit, so that Deputy Director Tao could not help but admire - no wonder he didn't lose his life after so many defeats, talent! And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have long been accustomed to saving the life of the eldest brother, leading the team of the palace to fight to the death, repelling the Xuzhou army's charge and raid again and again, and trying to keep the team not chaotic, and not giving the Xuzhou army the opportunity to completely break down and scatter the army, so except for Liu Beijun's soldiers who did not run fast enough and fell behind, the Xuzhou army did not get many direct gains in the pursuit process.

So chasing and slashing Uncle Liu Huang ran for more than 30 miles, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Tao Ying decisively ordered Mingjin to collect the troops, camp on the spot and rest overnight, our Uncle Liu Huang continued to lead the army to run wildly, and escaped more than 30 miles in one breath, until it was less than 40 miles away from Quyang, Uncle Liu Huang let the team stop, take a break on the spot, and immediately set off to continue to escape as soon as the sky was dark, and at the same time sent a messenger to Shouchun to contact Xiao Yuan Sangong, saying that the army could not resist the main force of Xuzhou, and I was afraid that it could only support one more day at most, Ask Xiao Yuan Sangong to decide what to do next.

Liu Beijun is not the opponent of Xuzhou's main force, which is of course expected by the civil and military officials of Yuan Shujun, and at the same time, the scout sent by Xiao Yuan Sangong to supervise the battle also truthfully reported that Liu Beijun had done his best, but even the fighting generals could not defeat the Xuzhou army, so he was forced to retreat, so after the news was transmitted back to Shouchun, Xiao Yuan Sangong was disappointed and there was not much surprise, but he quickly summoned his subordinates to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Lord, Tao Ying's thieves are very sharp, it seems that our army can only retreat to the Feishui defense line." Changshi Shu Shao hurriedly said: "The lord can order General Qiao Rui to still retreat to Yinling, order General Lei Bo to return to Shouchun, and then let Liu Bei lead the army to retreat to the west of Feishui, and deploy defenses along the river, thinking that Shouchun is the outer defense line to ensure the safety of Shouchun City." The two cities of Shouchun Yinling formed horns with each other, waiting for the next wave of reinforcements from the two generals, Zhang Xun and Liu Xun, to relieve the siege. ”

Shu Shao's suggestion was for the sake of Yuan Shujun's interests, and at the same time he was still pushing Uncle Liu Huang to the forefront as cannon fodder, so Yan Xiang did not object to Shu Shao's suggestion this time, but just improved for Shu Shao: "Lord, don't let Liu Bei retreat from Feishui, you should let Liu Bei camp in the east of Feishui, firstly, you can prevent any eventuality, and secondly, Liu Bei's team will be in battle against the water, and there is no way to retreat, so it will inevitably fight to the death, even if you can't fight Tao Ying's thief, you can also consume a lot of Tao Ying's thief's troops." Xiao Yuan Sangong was very satisfied with Yan Xiang's suggestion to harm others and benefit himself, and immediately nodded and agreed, and adopted Yan Xiang's plan.

Xiao Yuan Sangong's order was issued, and the Qiao Rui army and Lei Bo army, who were about to face the doom of being attacked by the Xuzhou army inside and outside the city of Quyang, were relieved, and the loyal Qiao Rui led the army to retreat to Yinling, defending this important town and lonely city, and Lei Bo's army also quickly withdrew from Feishui, preparing to deploy defenses along the river on the west bank of Feishui, preventing the Xuzhou army from crossing the river and attacking the city, and the Quyang crisis was completely resolved. However, to Xiao Yuan Sangong's surprise, Lei Bojun had just withdrawn to the other side of Feishui, and Liu Beijun had already crossed Feishui at the upstream ferry and boarded Feishui and Feishui first.

Uncle Liu Huang was able to escape so fast, in addition to Uncle Liu Huang's own escape skills, and then there was Deputy Director Tao's misjudgment of the Quyang battle situation, and he felt that Xiao Yuan Sangong should not immediately give up the plan to attack Quyang City, so he led the main force directly to Quyang City to seek a decisive battle, and Uncle Liu Huang took the opportunity to abandon the official road and did not leave, led the army to the west, and went straight to the mouth of Shaobi Lake in the upper reaches of Feishui. As a result, by the time the messenger of Xiao Yuan Sangong turned his head and found Uncle Liu Huang, it was already too late, and more than 13,000 Liu Beijun had already crossed the Feishui, and the temporary pontoon bridge had already been burned to ashes.

Uncle Liu Huang crossed the Feishui from the upstream without waiting for the order to be delivered, and the news was transmitted back to Shouchun, of course, Xiao Yuan Sangong was angry, but the battle situation had reached this point, and Xiao Yuan Sangong, who urgently needed cannon fodder to arrive at the enemy, did not dare to turn his face with Uncle Liu again, so he could only hold back his anger and allow Uncle Liu's team to go north and camp outside Shouchun City to rest. At the same time, Lei Bo also quickly withdrew the Feishui along the river, and a total of 30,000 troops were arranged on the west bank of Feishui to guard the riverbank, preparing to stabilize the Feishui defense line first, and then take some things called Huazi to give alms to Uncle Liu, and coax Uncle Liu Huang to re-arm the Feishui and add a line of defense for the old nest Shouchun.

In just three days, Uncle Liu's team ran back and forth for nearly two hundred miles and fought a big battle, and it was obviously impossible to let Uncle Liu Huang cross the river overnight that night, so Xiao Yuan Sangong could only temporarily press it overnight, and the next day as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Yuan Sangong sent his younger brother Yuan Yin out of the city again, rushed to Liu Beijun's camp to negotiate with Uncle Liu, and asked Uncle Liu to cross Feishui immediately, and set up a camp on the east bank of Feishui to resist the army of Xuzhou - in order to facilitate Uncle Liu to cross the river, Xiao Yuan Sangong didn't even burn the eight pontoon bridges on the Feishui River.

Finally got rid of the pursuit of the main force of Xuzhou and escaped Feishui, Xiao Yuan Sangong even had to let his team cross the Feishui formation, Uncle Liu Huang this time is no matter how good his temper is, he can't bear it, after listening to Yuan Yin's order from Xiao Yuan Sangong in the big tent of the Chinese army, Uncle Liu Huang was furious and shouted: "Second brother, third brother, blow the trumpet and order the troops, and call the whole army to assemble in the open space in the camp!" ”

"No!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei agreed together, and hurriedly ordered to blow the trumpet and count the troops, but Yuan Yin's legs were a little weak, and he asked timidly: "Xuande Gong, what are you doing with the troops?" ”

Uncle Liu Huang didn't speak with a straight face, until he estimated that the army had almost assembled, Uncle Liu Huang got up from the table with a blushing face, strode in front of Yuan Yin and pulled Yuan Yin up and left, Yuan Yin's personal soldiers came up to stop him, but he was kicked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and rolled all over the ground, and was taken down by Uncle Liu's guards, all of them were disarmed, Yuan Yin struggled and shouted, and even asked Xuande Gong what he wanted, but our Uncle Liu Huang didn't say a word, just dragged Yuan Yin to the open space in the camp, At this moment, the open space in the camp was already crowded with Liu Beijun's soldiers, and the black pressed a large group.

Forced Yuan Yin to the dense Liu Beijun soldiers, Uncle Liu Huang finally spoke, pointed to the tired and many injured soldiers under his command, and yelled at Yuan Yin with red eyes: "Lord Yuan, please take a look, see clearly!" How tired are my soldiers now? And how many soldiers were wounded? Of the 26,000 soldiers who crossed the river, how many are left now? How many are left?! We have all been miserable to this point, you still want us to cross the fat water and camp on the backwater, do you think that our Runan soldiers have not died enough? Do you think that the lives of our Runan soldiers are not valuable? Why don't we Runan soldiers die and die alone, and you won't be at ease? ”

"Straight sissy thief! Tell me to cross the river and camp, why don't you go?! ”

"Bastards, how many people have died in order to save you? You still want us to cross the river to die, and your conscience is eaten by dogs?! ”

", kill this straight thief, kill him, hack him to death!"

The result of Uncle Liu Huang's words was very natural, Liu Beijun's soldiers, who had already been full of anger, suddenly blew up their nests, and the vulgar countryside scolded all over the world, countless wounded Liu Beijun soldiers also drew their knives and raised their guns, scratched and stepped forward to surround Yuan Yin, and many people rushed up to punch and kick Yuan Yin, but poor Lord Yuan Yin was scattered, dodging Liu Beijun's fists and feet, while screaming like a pig, "Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong help!" Please Xuande Gong, you cross the river and set up camp, it is not my idea, it is Yan Xiang, it is Yan Xiang who instigated the lord to do this, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me! ”

Uncle Liu Huang didn't speak with a gloomy face, until Yuan Yin was beaten to the point that his nose was blue, his face was swollen, and his head was bleeding, Uncle Liu Huang gave Guan Yu Zhang Fei a look, Guan Zhang and the two understood, strode forward to drive the soldiers away, and slipped the poor Lord Yuan Yin back, and then Uncle Liu Huang pointed to Yuan Yin, who was bleeding from the mouth and nose, and shouted: "Go back and tell Yuan Highway that if you want to continue to join forces to fight the enemy, you can, three conditions, one, deal with the villain Yan Xiang, and give an explanation to the soldiers of my army!" Second, let the wounded soldiers of our army enter Shouchun City for treatment and rest, and the herbs and food must be supplied in full! Third, our army only defends the river, but it is not fat! Do you understand? ”

Yuan Yin, who had just finished the beating, was still a little dizzy, and his reaction was a little slower, Zhang Fei's big slap had already been slapped, and Yuan Yin's teeth were slapped away twice, and poor Lord Yuan Yin quickly nodded, spraying blood and replied vaguely: "I understand, I understand, I understand." ”

"Go back and tell the news!" Uncle Liu Huang waved his big hand, and snorted loudly and coldly: "Tell Yuan Highway that I, Liu Bei, have done my best to him, and if he wants to do it, the three Taoyuan brothers will accompany him to the end!" Yuan Yin hurriedly nodded again and again, and was finally escorted out of the camp by Liu Beijun's soldiers, and then Liu Beijun's soldiers immediately put the whole camp on alert, ready to face the battle, and did not mention it.

………………

After Yuan Yin brought Uncle Liu's words back to Shouchun City, the stunned little Yuan Sangong was dumbfounded, but he finally figured out how to write two idioms, one idiom is called luring the wolf into the room, and the other is called seeking skin with the tiger. And after opening his mouth and stammering for a long time, Xiao Yuan Sangong finally came back to his senses and roared like thunder: "Send troops!" Troops now! Kill Liu Bei, the boy who weaves mats and sells shoes! Kill him, kill this ungrateful bastard! ”

"My lord, no!" All the civil and military officials of Yuan Shujun, including Yan Xiang, knelt down and shouted together: "Lord, the enemy is now, you can't send troops to fight Liu Bei!" Sending troops at this time will only cheapen Tao Ying's thief for nothing! ”

"What then? What to do? Xiao Yuan Sangong roared and asked: "Liu Bei's team of thieves is stationed outside Shouchun City, when Tao Ying's thieves attack, if he takes the opportunity to make trouble, what will happen to the lonely Feishui defense line?" What about the 30,000 troops who are alone outside the city?! ”

Yuan Shujun's civil and military officials were speechless, and after a long time, Shu Shao said cautiously: "Lord, in fact, Liu Bei's request is not excessive, and his purpose is just to not let the army die in vain, the three conditions he proposed, the lord may wish to consider ......." ”

"No!" Yan Xiang was shocked, and hurriedly jumped up and shouted: "Lord, you must not agree, especially let Liu Bei Pifu's wounded soldiers enter the city, his wounded soldiers enter the city, it is equivalent to inserting a knife in Shouchun City, once it changes, it is too late to regret it!" ”

"Yan Xiangpifu, you shameless villain, how far do you want to mislead the lord?" Shu Shao couldn't bear to scold, "Liu Bei led the army into Huainan, threw his head for the lord and spilled his blood to death, sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers under Quyang City alone, and joined hands with our army to resist Tao's sincerity, heaven and earth can be proven, and the moon can be learned!" But you, you puppeteer, instigated Liu Xuande to make things difficult in every way, suspicious of everything, and instigated the lord again and again to push such a friendly team to the front to die, which forced Liu Xuande to this step, and also pushed the lord into a dangerous dilemma, you deserve death! Sin deserves death!! ”

After scolding, Shu Shao rushed to Xiao Yuan Sangong and knelt down on his knees, and shouted with his eyes: "Lord, please behead Yan Xiangpifu, and join forces with Liu Bei's friendly army to fight against the pottery thief with the heart of An Youjun!" If not, the consequences of my Shouchun army will be unimaginable! ”

There was silence in the lobby, even Yuan Yin, who had lost two teeth, stopped moaning in a low voice, and everyone's eyes also glanced at the faces of Xiao Yuan Sangong and Yan Xiang, waiting for Xiao Yuan Sangong's reply with bated breath, waiting for Yan Xiang's reaction, and Xiao Yuan Sangong and Yan Xiang also had a cloudy and uncertain face together, sometimes green and sometimes white, sometimes gritting teeth and sometimes tight, hesitating together and not making up their minds. After a long time, Xiao Yuan Sangong finally exposed his fierce and timid surname, pointed at Yan Xiang with his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Take it." ”

The guards in the hall strode forward and surrounded Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang did not resist, let alone beg for mercy, but just knelt down on Xiao Yuan Sangong's knees, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord, the matter has come to this, you are the minister who got off the car and cut it in half, and the minister has no regrets, the minister only asks you for one thing, don't let Liu Beijun enter Shouchun City, otherwise, Shouchun is safe, and the lord's surname is life, but all of them will be pinched in Liu Bei's hands." ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong's lips continued to tremble, and after a long time, Xiao Yuan Sangong ordered: "Go to prison for the time being, and take strict care." Shu Shao, you bring 10,000 pieces of grain and a batch of wine and meat to reward Liu Beijun, and tell him that in addition to the conditions for letting the wounded soldiers enter the city, Gu Du agreed, and his wounded soldiers stayed outside the city for treatment, and Lang Zhonghe medicine was supplied by Gu. Shu Shao agreed, and Yan Xiang kowtowed three times to Xiao Yuan Sangong, and silently followed the guards out of the court and went to prison, leaving a hall full of dejected Yuan Shujun civil and military officials, and even more depressed Xiao Yuan Sangong.

Xiao Yuan Sangong's conditions this time were not harsh, so when Shu Shao entered Liu Beijun's camp with wine, meat, rewards and food, our Uncle Liu Huang finally nodded and agreed to Xiao Yuan Sangong's conditions, agreeing to let his wounded soldiers stay in the camp for treatment and recuperation, and no longer forcibly ask for wounded soldiers to be stationed in Shouchun City.

After negotiating with Shu Shao, our Uncle Liu Huang's gloomy face finally showed a relieved smile, and murmured in his heart: "Tao Ying thief, you also have a time when you are scheming?" Do you think that I will easily believe that one of your shameless thieves is just a verbal promise, and really lend me a foothold in Yangzhou County? If I don't pretend to make peace, with your vicious surname, you will have to annihilate me at all costs? Missed this opportunity to wipe out my team, you little thief want to have a next time, that is, don't even think about it! ”

"Hehe, now it's okay, thanks to you, I have kept the team and am invincible, who wins and who loses on the Shouchun battlefield, but it is up to me Liu Xuande to decide! If you Tao Ying thief want to win Shouchun, you have to pass my level first, and if you don't come up with something that satisfies me, you don't expect to win Shouchun smoothly! ”

(To be continued)
