Chapter 735: Liu Bei's thoughts
When Cao Ang rushed to meet Cao Cao, Liu Bei, who was standing in another battle formation, had already received his orders.
As soon as the herald left, the anxious Zhang Fei was already staring at his eyes the size of copper bells, and scolded viciously: "Hmph! Cao Cao is just that, I didn't expect Cao Ang, a little kid, to dare to shout in front of his eldest brother, I really want to tie him up and beat him! β
"Huh! Wing Dexiu wants to lie! β
Liu Bei tilted his head to glance at him, and strictly stopped him from yelling, and then turned his gaze to the soldiers of the Chu State who were fighting hard in the distance, looking a little hesitant.
"In my opinion, it is enough to be sure that that person is not Wang Xu, but with Lu Bu's bravery, Cao Cao's plan may have failed!"
"Big brother, do we obey orders or not?" Guan Yu forcibly restrained the impatient Zhang Fei and asked first.
Liu Bei was silent and did not reply, a look of helplessness inadvertently flashed on his face, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "The fight is definitely going to be beaten, but I don't know if Cao Cao will break his promise even if we really capture and kill the person who pretended to be Wang Xu." If it is the excuse that this person is not Wang Xu, so that the promise made in public before is invalidated, then how can the three brothers have a place to stay, and I don't know when the will to revive the Han family will be realized! β
"He dares!" Zhang Fei finally lost control again, and stepped forward angrily and said: "No matter whether his plan succeeds or fails, what do we have to do with it, we just act according to the order, since we have completed the task assigned by the imperial court, he should fulfill his promise, if he still shirks, it means that he has no idea of fulfilling his promise at all." β
"Why don't our three brothers go away, there is the second brother and me, as well as Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Jian Yong. Where in this world can I not go? We're going elsewhere. Again, big things. Anyway, for so long, the eldest brother has also suffered from the bird anger of the Cao thief! β
"Alas!"
Liu Bei sighed again, and his spirit also seemed a little tired: "Although the world is big, but in the current situation, where can it be used as a safe place for my brothers?" Cao Cao, Wang Xu, and Sun Jian divided the world into three parts, and almost divided up the country of my Liu clan to the slightest, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and the troops were self-respecting. Although our brothers have the ability, they can be alone, how can we fight each other? β
"No matter what, it's better than living like now, and you can die happily!" Zhang Fei immediately said angrily.
"Huh! Third brother, what is not dead, the eldest brother naturally has the plan of the eldest brother, you don't have to be impulsive! β
Guan Yu stood up in time, stroked his long hair, and first persuaded Zhang Fei. Only then did he turn his gaze to Liu Bei, who was full of sadness, and Danfeng's eyes flickered. "Big brother. Although the third brother is impulsive, there is some truth in what he said, if Cao Cao breaks his promise, we go down like this, it is not a way after all, in the eyes of the foolish brother, why don't we go to the state? β
"Merge states?"
Liu Bei thought about it, but shook his head and said, "Alas! Although the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou have the help of the Chu State, they are worry-free for the time being, but with the current strength of the Chu State, it is impossible to help them with all their strength after all, but they are just using him to contain Cao Cao, maybe it will not be long before Cao Cao will withdraw and lead the male army to recruit in person. With the talent of high cadres, it must not be matched! β
Guan Yu was also a little worried by Liu Bei's words, his brows furrowed slightly unnaturally, and his red face became a little ugly.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "In this case, after our brothers pass, it is better to find an opportunity to replace them!" If the land of the annexed state is extensive, and the reputation of the eldest brother is raised, under the banner of reviving the Han family, countless loyal ministers and good generals will come to join him, and the people will definitely support him. β
"Alas!"
Liu Bei sighed dejectedly again, and said bitterly: "No, if I join a high-ranking cadre and conspire to abolish and stand on my own, wouldn't I become Lu Bu and others?" It will be laughed at by the people of the world! The sage said, if I do this unrighteous act, how can I stand in the world? Not to mention how to call on all the ministers and righteous people in the world? β
"My earlier idea was to take advantage of the accident of the King of Chu to go to Nanyang to take up his post, and get 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers to protect himself! Regardless of whether the king of Chu lives or dies, he will inevitably be controlled by Cao Cao, which will cause chaos in the Chu country, and then we can pretend to obey Cao Cao, but in fact, take advantage of the civil strife in Chu to seek to obtain Chu's land, absorb outstanding people, and strengthen our own body, so that it is the right way! β
"But now the trapped person is not the king of Chu at all, what does it mean to say this?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei helplessly.
"That's it, that's it!" Liu Bei shook his head again and again, sighed and took over: "No matter what, we always have to go out in this battle, otherwise let alone get canonized by the imperial court, I'm afraid there is still a danger to my life, no matter whether Cao Cao breaks his promise or not, I can only make a final conclusion after this battle." β
Zhang Fei was sulking at the moment, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Then I'll take the lead!" β
"No!"
Liu Bei's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Zhang Fei, who was about to turn over and get on the horse, and reprimanded: "I am afraid that that person's martial arts are not inferior to Lu Bu back then, and even surpassing, the third brother Hugh must be reckless!" You will go with Yun Chang, and I will answer you personally. β
Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he is a person who is thick and fine, with his current age and martial arts cultivation, of course he knows how powerful the person who pretends to be Wang Xu is, so he did not refute it, but laughed loudly: "Okay, then listen to the eldest brother, let's three brothers capture and kill this person together." β
At this time, the army of Chu that broke through was frantically attacking the Cao army's camp, making the entire eastern part of the Cao army's formation a little unstable.
But even so, it doesn't mean that they can resist all the time.
The Chu State Iron Cavalry itself is well-trained and strong enough, not to mention, now that they are under siege, they are even more trapped beasts facing a desperate situation.
Since it is already a desperate situation, the potential of people to burst out at this moment is of course even more incredible, if it were not for the fact that this army must all be strangled, on the conventional battlefield, any general with real talent will try his best to avoid this situation.
The superposition of these two phases directly caused the combat effectiveness to soar exponentially, and nearly a thousand iron horsemen regarded death as home, stepping on the corpses and blood of enemies and comrades, and kept advancing!
What's even more terrifying is the arrow at the front of this torrent, the person who seems to be crazy!
No matter how strong Cao Jun's array was organized, he could always tear it open a small gap, and then the Chu State Iron Cavalry, who was not deadly behind him, continued to expand the gap!
At least, even Ju Yi, a proud general, is a little scary at this moment.
Although he pacified the Yellow Turban in his early years, although Huangfu Song and others pacified the Yellow Turban, he has been in the army for nearly 20 years, and has fought with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, fought with the Bingzhou Elite Soldiers, fought with the Karasuma Ranger, and fought with the Huns outside the Saiwai, not only helped Han Fu beat Yuan Shao, but also defeated Gongsun Zan for Yuan Shao, and he thinks that he has seen all kinds of people, but he feels that today is really eye-opening!
He vaguely felt that it was the so-called "Lu Bu among the people" who was the world's number one fierce general, if he talked about martial arts alone, he might not be able to compare to the killing god in front of him.
The first deceased soldier is his own training, proud of the elite soldiers, all of them are good hands, among them there is no lack of masters, coupled with his unique tactics summed up based on years of battlefield experience, echoing each other, he believes that even if he does not say that he is the best in the world, he will not lose to any elite troops.
But today he was convinced, and the killing god was stunned by his own strength, tearing apart the array for him from the front, trampling all his pride under the iron hoof.
At first, he was merciful everywhere, because he knew Wang Xu, and deep down, Wang Xu was one of the people he respected the most when he was young.
He still remembers the first time he met Wang Xu, when everyone got together and united as one to exterminate the yellow scarves that caused chaos in the world.
At that time, he was just a small character, but he witnessed the miracle of a little boy creating zΓ o!
At that time, he, like many lieutenant generals and colonels, admired that person in his heart, even to the point of reverence Cheng DΓΉ!
At that time, when he learned that the young man was framed by the eunuchs and imprisoned, he, like his comrades at that time, scolded loudly and vented his anger and grief!
It's a pity that the years are not forgiving, in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, the world has changed greatly, things are not people!
Now, he is no longer the ignorant young man he once was, he is already a famous general in the world, and even stands on a different position from the object of his reverence!
Two armies are fighting, each for its own master!
But although he understands this truth, he still can't bear to watch the other party die tragically, at least not at his hands!
So, when he first started, he kept his hands!
Unfortunately, slowly, he discovered the anomaly!
The impression of Wang Xu in his mind was too deep, and he soon understood that the person in front of him was by no means the person he respected, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his hands and feet.
At the same time, he also chose to remain silent about the fact he discovered, not because he wanted to betray Cao Cao, but because he didn't want that person to die in his hands.
The world is not only black and white, but also many other colors!
Therefore, he chose to remain silent, and only firmly carried out the orders he received - to strangle the enemy army in front of him with all his might!
This is also the only way for him to relieve the guilt in his heart!
But I didn't think about it, it didn't take long for him to be messy again!
Even if he had done his best, he found that this person pretending to be Wang Xu was too terrifying, not to mention quickly strangling the other party and making up for the guilt in his heart, but the entire army array under his command retreated again and again under the impact of the army of Chu State! There is even a danger of being broken by the other party!
He was really panicked!
At this moment, three fast horses galloped past him like a violent wind, but on the way they galloped, the soldiers of Cao Jun quickly gave way to both sides from a long distance, leaving a wide passage.
Of course, Ju Yi noticed such a movement for the first time, and suddenly turned his head to look at it, and recognized the three of them.
It is the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!
As they quickly approached the soldiers of the Chu State, Xiang Tian and Zhang Jing also noticed the abnormal changes in the Cao army's military formation, Zhang Jing swung his knife and slashed over the two Cao soldiers who were entangled, looked at the three people in the distance, and the moment they saw their faces clearly, their whole faces instantly became ugly.
"Liu, Guan, and Zhang are all here, and they really look up to us!" (To be continued......)
