"What? Xiapi has been lost? How is this possible? ”

After a night of escape, it was easy to escape from Ascension and arrive near Xiapi, Liu Bei was only left with a few personal guards, and the battle was a miserable defeat.

Guan Yu and Chen Zhi, who had led the remnants of the army, were nowhere to be found, and they were facing Wang Yu's main force, but they were afraid that it would be more auspicious and less auspicious. The broken back was very dangerous, and it was not much stronger to run with Liu Bei, He Yi was beheaded by Wei Yan, and He Man was captured by Zhao Yun......

Cao Bao on the other side saw that the situation was not good, and ran away without even saying hello, looking at that appearance, it is likely that he doesn't even want to go down to Xiangcheng, and even with his old buddy Jian Yong, he is nowhere to be found.

Liu Bei still wanted to regroup and fight to the death after returning to Xiapi, but who would have thought that the spies who explored the way first brought back the worst news with a pale face - the banner of the hussar general fluttering at the head of Xiapi City!

The news of the five thunders thundered, and Liu Bei, who had not yet recovered from the blow of the fiasco, was blackened in front of his eyes, and his mind was buzzing. The cruelty of reality has exceeded his imagination, and the Xiapi defended by the main force has been lost? Is there anyone in this world who is more miserable than himself?

He was sluggish, but the guards did not dare to be in a daze, the pursuers of Qingzhou were in hot pursuit, and it was clear that they wanted to kill them all, and since Xiapi City was lost, the danger here increased exponentially. When the Qingzhou army settles down the city, it will inevitably sweep the four fields, and then it will be impossible to run away.

Several people surrounded Liu Bei and got on the horse, and fled westward in a panic - there are still soldiers in Pengcheng! Zhang Feitong took 5,000 elites to defend Pengcheng, of course it was impossible to recapture Xiapi, but it was still possible to ensure security, and the strategic importance of Pengcheng was not much worse than that of Xiapi, and Zhang Fei was guarding it. It's still very stable.

Halfway through, Liu Bei gradually came to his senses, and asked the scout who was exploring the way: "Xiapi still had a letter yesterday, why did he ...... overnight" If he couldn't figure out the answer to this question, he really didn't close his eyes when he died.

"Returning to the lord, in fact, ......" The scout was also a fine person, but he just looked at it from a distance, asked the villagers a few words, and then touched the whole process.

"Sure enough...... Liu Bei muttered, "I should have thought of ...... a long time ago"

Wang Yu's call for help last night. Once made Liu Bei's confidence high, but later the Hidden Mist Army was prominent, and the situation reversed, he only cared about fleeing for his life, and he didn't have time to think about it. Now reminded by scouts. He finally realized that last night's signal was not a call for help at all, but a clarion call for a general attack.

It's too late to think about it now, it's just a vain remorse, regretting his own cleverness, and hating Wang Yu's cunning and deceit.

God doesn't seem to plan to let the desperate Liu Bei stop. In the midst of remorse, a guard suddenly screamed, Liu Bei looked up in amazement, and he didn't have time to blame the guard. The sight of his eyes was taken aback, and his mind was occupied by new mysteries.

Xiapi City, which has already changed hands, and has not even experienced too many battles, has actually risen wolf smoke!

Liu Bei and the others were taken aback and came out of the incognito woods. I climbed a small hill and looked in the direction of Xiapi.

I saw the gate of the city open. A large crowd of people rushed out of the city gate, through the suspension bridge over the Yishui River, rolling westward. It seems that there is turmoil in the city, and there are troops loyal to Liu Bei who are unwilling to surrender and flee.

But Liu Bei has suffered so many losses, and he is not as naïve as before, so he doesn't believe that a name like Zhang Jaw will not be able to control the city defense when most of the city surrenders, and he will be so embarrassed.

Even if Wang Yu's existence is not considered, the defeat he ate in the plains back then is still fresh in his memory.

Therefore, he not only ignored the excited reminders of the guards, but also suppressed the impatience of several people, signaling everyone to be calm and not impulsive.

His caution was justified, and after those who looked like deserters had crossed the river, another group of cavalry came out of the cave in the city gate. According to the cleanup, they should be chasing soldiers, but looking at their unhurried and tidy posture, they can't get anything to do with the pursuers.

At the same time as the cavalry, the warships on the Yishui River were launched, and the drafts of these ships were relatively deep, but there were no figures on the boats shaking, and it was obvious that they were loaded with baggage.

Behind the cavalry is the foot soldiers of the brigade, the lineup is neat, but the weapons are a little messy, walking in the front is a young general, carrying a huge iron thistle bone on his shoulder, followed by dozens of strong men in the same costume, murderous, extremely strong, not a good road at first glance.

Of course, it was not a good way, just when a few guards began to congratulate the lord for his foresight, he did not act recklessly, and ran into the enemy's ambush, Liu Bei was one step ahead again and realized what the idea of Zhang Jaw was fighting.

Serial Scheme!

It's a serial scheme!

While annihilating his own main force and elite, he ordered Zhang Jaw's main force to quickly move south, relying on prisoners and stratagems to deceive open the city gate of Xiapi, take Xiapi lightly, and finally rely on Xiapi's troops and beacon fire to design Zhang Fei again......

Complete three strategic goals in one day and night, and pacify most of Xuzhou! This is Wang Yu's calculation! What is the alliance with Yuan Shu, Que Xuan, and what will be the alliance to ask for relatives are all fake, from the very beginning, his goal is himself, that is, Xuzhou!

At the same time, Liu Bei had the heart to dive to death.

Okay, come and grab which door Xuzhou! If he didn't come, would it be possible for Yuan Shu to reconcile with Qingzhou? When the two sides fight, and then come to help the war, the situation will be too favorable, too much......

It's okay to come, but I was fascinated by Xu Yu's vision, and I actually thought about a showdown with Wang Yu in Xiapi, and I also thought of some surprises.

Now, I finally see what a miracle soldier is. Liu Bei laughed miserably and cried, three battles a day, and Xuzhou, his foil was not an ordinary competent.

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to risk their lives to report to the three generals, so that he will not fall for the enemy's tricks." The shrewd scout clenched his fists and begged for his life.

"It's too late......" Liu Bei shook his head dejectedly.

Pengcheng is more than 100 miles away from Xiapi, which is not too close, and if it is a step-by-step march, it will take at least two days. But now that the Qingzhou army is victorious, you don't have to think about the back road or anything, you just need to go all out. In addition, they have a fleet of ships to transport baggage, and they can rush through with light troops, a distance of 100 miles, and they can complete it in less than evening.

Liu Bei was skeptical. The other party's plan to take Peng Cheng is likely to be different from that of taking down Pi. Although there are many defenders in Xiapi, they are mainly based on the yellow turbans that have been absorbed, and Pengcheng is a stronghold that they regard as a back road, there are not many defenders, but the composition is relatively simple, it is Zhou Ang's subordinates, and it is the most complete and effective unit in Yuan Shao's old department.

Such a force. Under the command of a fierce general like Zhang Fei, even if the Qingzhou army can deceive the city gate, it will have to go through a hard battle and pay a heavy price to capture Pengcheng.

Thinking of Wang Yu's habit of liking to leave the most difficult tasks to himself, Liu Bei was very skeptical. Can Zhang Fei get the opportunity to show his bravery?

As for the message, the chances of the messenger reaching Pengcheng before the jaw opening are very low. The marching speed of the Zhang Jaw army was not slow, and it was very well arranged, the cordon and scout nets were very open, starting from Liu Bei's position, there were only two ways to reach Pengcheng, or to break through. Or go around in big circles.

As he spoke, the south gate of Xiapi also opened, and hundreds of soldiers formed a team and rushed out. They ran in different directions, like a big net, sprinkled on the south bank of Surabaya.

"Let's go!" Liu Bei didn't know that this was a net for him. At that moment, he did not hesitate, and rushed down the hill first. Rushing to the southwest through the mountains.

"Lord, the three generals ......"

"It's too late, I just hope that Yide Taji will escape this catastrophe." Liu Bei smiled miserably and shook his head, the second brother may have died, but Wang Yu should not kill the third brother, after all, at that time, the second brother had not yet settled the war, and there was still the possibility of repeatedness, and if the third brother was successful, there would be no suspense on the basis of the war.

With the friendship between Wang Yu and the third brother, presumably he will not die. And the third brother is very righteous, he should not turn his back on himself, as long as he lives, he will have the opportunity to meet again in the future!

……

While Liu Bei comforted himself and fled, Zhang Feizheng looked at the beacon fire in the distance in disbelief.

According to the prior agreement, the three cities of Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Xiaxiang will form horns with each other, and one city will be lit with beacon fire, which means that the city is under attack, and the other two parties should rescue as appropriate.

Now that Xiapi has been attacked, the beacon fire has been continuous for a long time, and it is obvious that he has fallen into a rather critical situation, and it is reasonable that he should try to rescue him.

But Zhang Fei had seen the city defense of Xiapi and the deployment of Chen Dao, and felt that no matter how strong the Qingzhou army was, it should not be in danger so soon.

On the one hand, brotherhood, on the other hand, the overall situation, Zhang Fei was entangled, he was not in a hurry to send troops, but sent a large number of scouts to spy eastward. I waited anxiously for more than two hours, and around noon, someone finally came to report.

"Three...... Three generals, big things are not good! Xiapi City has been breached, Gong Du defected to the enemy, Liu and Huang died when the city was broken, General He Man gathered more than a thousand remnants of the army, and fled in the direction of Pengcheng! ”

"What?" Zhang Fei's scalp exploded, his beard stood up like an angry hedgehog, he picked up the scout who reported the news, and roared loudly: "What about the eldest brother and second brother? Where are they now? He Man can escape, with the bravery of the second brother, there is no reason why he can't kill him? ”

The scout couldn't breathe well, and replied with difficulty: "Liu Yuanjun and General Guan went to ambush Wang Pengju, and the result was ......"

"What...... ......" Zhang Fei let go of his hand in a daze, almost unable to believe his ears. After a long time, he suddenly woke up, and a spirit stood up and shouted, "Someone! Take my cloak and send troops immediately, I will go and save my two brothers! ”

"Third general, Liu Yuanjun and they don't know their whereabouts, where are you going to save people?"

"You can always find it, even if you can't find it, you can't let Pengju pursue it unscrupulously!" Zhang Fei obviously didn't have any feasible plans, just sending troops for the sake of sending troops.

"That'...... Pengcheng. ”

"A certain person will answer He Man first and let him defend the city!" While speaking, the guards had already presented the snake spear and led the black horse, Zhang Fei did not hesitate, picked up the spear on the horse, and ordered the troops out of the city, like a moth to the fire, to meet the Qingzhou army that killed Pengcheng.

Two hours later, He Man entered the city with the remnants of the army, and after a while, the big banner of the word "Liu" at the head of the city was overturned, and the four big characters of "Hussar General" were written on it, and the fire-like flag was raised.
