Don't look at Zhang Fei's loud voice and short temper, but his wisdom is not low, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to get to his current position with martial arts alone, but most of the time, everyone ignores his IQ.

It is precisely because everyone did not expect that Zhang Fei would break through backwards, which is equivalent to giving him a chance to survive. At the beginning, when the army headed for Xijingzhou, it attracted the attention of the Celestial Empire.

And that night, by the moonlight, Zhang Fei suddenly led the 20,000 troops in his hands that had not moved to kill Yizhou, and for a while Xu Shu was caught off guard, and when he began to make arrangements for the transfer of troops, he had already rushed out of the first layer of encirclement and began to approach Zhuge Liang.

This is Zhang Fei's cleverness, he guessed that he would lead an army of 100,000 out, and Zhuge Liang would definitely come to the rescue, which was also the main reason why he chose to break through backwards. In fact, Zhuge Liang had already arranged for Liao Hua to lead 50,000 troops to wait for him here, and as soon as the two sides converged, the strength immediately became stronger, and he began to frantically go in the direction of Yizhou.

Xu Huang, Wen Chou, Bu Qi and other army generals didn't expect things to develop like this, they thought that with Zhang Fei's character, even if they knew that they would die, they would choose to die by Liu Bei's side, but they didn't think that they would retreat, which made many of their arrangements useless at all, and in the end they didn't even have the opportunity to meet, so they watched the food in their mouths converge with Zhuge Liang, and then retreated in the direction of Yizhou.

"I can't just let him run like this, I'll chase him." Xu Huang said with an unconvinced look. originally thought that he could take down Zhang Fei and make a great contribution, but he didn't think about it, but it turned out to be like this, he felt that he was being played, and he felt that there was a sullen breath in his heart that he couldn't spit out.

"That's right, let's go after it." Wen Chou and Bu Qi on the side also had unwilling expressions.

Seeing that the three army generals expressed their positions, Xu Shu knew that he couldn't stop him at this time, and he was also worried that Zhuge Liang would retreat to Chengdu after the meeting, if that was the case, it would be troublesome if the problem of Yizhou was solved, so he expressed his support, but also proposed that Zhuge Liang was scheming, and he must not be impatient and fall into the trap of the other party. If you can't catch up, you have to go back immediately.

The military advisor agreed, and the three army generals immediately agreed, and then each led 100,000 troops, a total of 300,000 horses, and chased in the direction where Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang retreated.

......

After Zhang Chao took the Western Regions and captured Guan Yu and his son Guan Xing, he hurriedly came to the place where Liu Bei was trapped.

This place is only a hundred miles away from Yizhou, but it is on this section of the road that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Celestial Empire have long been blocked, making it impossible for Liu Bei to advance and retreat. When Zhang Chao arrived here with 50,000 Zhang Jiajun first, it happened that Jiang Yiqu, the deputy commander of the First Legion, and Cheng Yin, the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion, were leading the troops to attack Liu Bei's camp.

This kind of attack has lasted for half a month, and during this time, there have been casualties on both sides, especially Liu Bei, who was besieged, and his available troops were less than 25,000, including 20,000 of his guards, the Qilin Army.

Zhang Chao rushed here, and naturally took over all the power. After a simple night's rest, early the next morning, he appeared outside the Xishu military camp with 20,000 Zhangjia heavy cavalry and 30,000 Zhangjia light cavalry.

Zhang Chao's arrival naturally alarmed Liu Bei in the camp. After learning that it was the First Emperor of Heaven who arrived, he had a bad feeling, that is, his second brother Guan Yu must have had an accident, and Xicheng should have been lost.

Thinking of his trip, Fei Dan did not rescue his second brother, but instead put himself in, Liu Bei felt a pang of pain in his heart. I know that there is not much time left for me.

Outside the barracks, Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white clothes and white robes, rode a white crane horse with a majestic look, and not far away, Liu Bei also rode a black healthy horse to meet him.

Originally, Liu Bei was supposed to be riding a white Lu horse, but because of the burning of the company camp, the war horse had already run away, and there was no healthy horse to match, so that when he appeared, he was far less majestic than Zhang Chao.

"Brother Xuande, it's been a long time." Seeing that Liu Bei stopped more than ten zhang away from him, Zhang Chao couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Zhang Zhiyuan, you are very proud." Looking at Zhang Chao, who was smiling and happy in front of him, Liu Bei at this moment couldn't wait to eat his meat raw. If it weren't for this person, with his identity as the imperial uncle of the Liu family, maybe the whole world would be his now.

"Smug?" Zhang Chao originally wanted to catch up with Liu Bei, and even thought that if he could, he would take it for his own use. Even if he has already killed Cao Cao, what does it matter if he has this person's life, after all, he doesn't want to be named a good killer in history, saying that even if Liu Bei is cunning, he doesn't believe that he can set off any storms under his own strength. It's like Yuan Shao, the former Jizhou pastor, isn't he living a good life now, but he is imprisoned in Jinyang City and can't come out?

Even if you can accept Yuan Shao, you can also accept Liu Bei. After all, this person has the blood of the Han royal family, which will still be of great benefit to him in the future to unify people's hearts.

It's just that Zhang Chao has the heart to accept it, it doesn't mean that he can't kill this person, if he doesn't tame himself, then he won't be polite.

"Do you think I'm proud? Tell you, wrong? From the beginning, you were all wrong, whether it was you Liu Xuande, Cao Mengde or Sun Wentai of Eastern Wu, you thought that I would fight for power and profit like you and create a world for all generations? Do you think I'm just trying to be an emperor, so that I'm above ten thousand? Do you think that I must stain the mountains and rivers with blood just for the sake of that false name? ”

Zhang Chao's sudden questioning caused Liu Bei to be stunned, but then he sneered: "Isn't it?" So why did you Zhang Zhiyuan do all this? ”

"Why? For the honor of my China, for the dignity of my China, for the glory of my descendants of Yan and Huang, do you understand? Zhang Chao was impassioned when he said these words, but when he looked at Liu Bei at the same time, his eyes did show a trace of disdain.

Among all the friends and enemies, there are not many who can really understand Zhang Chao, but Cao Cao is one.

Only Cao Cao saw Zhang Chao's goals and wishes, but unfortunately, he didn't want to be a Hanchen first, he was an anti-monarch, and he was a courtier of the Heavenly Dynasty, for the sake of the so-called reputation, he refused and cut himself in the world.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei's pattern and mind are too small, he has always thought that what kind of person he is, what kind of person others will be, and he doubts Zhang Chao because of this, but he really doesn't know that in terms of goals alone, the two sides are too different, and naturally the achievements are thousands of miles apart.

Zhang Chao is not a good man, but this is just a means for him to the enemy, just like he is against the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the Rus and the Western Regions, and the enemies such as Wei, Shu, and Wu, he will not be soft, and even if he disagrees, he will raise troops to fight, and he will not hesitate to shed rivers of blood. But on the other hand, he is very friendly to the people under his rule, even if it is to the original foreign nations such as Goryeo and Sanhan, but now they have submitted to his people, and even allow them to obtain the same survival and living treatment as the descendants of Yan and Huang, this is his goal, to create Huaxia into an absolute power, to make the Celestial Empire more powerful by means of assimilation, so as to stand in the forest of the world, and obtain supreme dignity and glory.

Now that he was reborn, he chose the way of an emperor, and he was born in troubled times, Zhang Chao either didn't do it, or did it, at least he had to rely on his own efforts to bring enough superiority and real benefits to the people.

For a long time, Zhang Chao has been working hard for this goal. Strive to build a powerful and formidable eastern power.

Now it seems that he has done it, although it is said that such a country is an imperial system, and the king will inherit it in the future, rather than a democracy, but this is not what he meant, but it is really what the national conditions need.

It is not democratic only because it cannot be democratic, under the feudal society, in the era of the rampant family of scholars, if it is really necessary to democratically elect the emperor, I am afraid that the good situation will fall apart again. It would be better for him to take power, at least to achieve a balance in which everyone can benefit from the growth and development of the country.

Of course, there are some things that Zhang Chao disdains to say, what he values more is to do it, and now it seems that he has done it. Even Liu Bei was surrounded by himself, seeing that the destruction of Xishu was imminent, he was one step closer to his ultimate goal.

Putting aside the goal in his heart first, his eyes fell on Liu Bei's body, looking at this man who was still wearing a yellow robe emperor's suit, but was obviously a little down, Zhang Chao shook his head lightly and said: "Brother Xuande, why bother to struggle senselessly, surrender, at least you can fall into a decent place." ”

"Don't think about it." Liu Bei is also a person who has been an emperor, so he naturally has his own pride, not to mention that there are still 20,000 Qilin troops around him, which means surrendering, he is really unwilling.

"Okay, then I'll give you a chance." As if he saw what Liu Bei was thinking, Zhang Chaoyan said: "I know that you have 20,000 Qilin troops, so let them compete with my 20,000 Zhang family army." If you win, you give you a way to survive and let you go, but if you lose, you have to surrender. If not, you will be slain and cast into the wilderness. ”

A dignified emperor, even if he is dead, his opponent respects him and his past, and he must be buried alive. Just like after Cao Cao killed himself, Zhang Chao also gave a very grand funeral ceremony, which can be regarded as respecting him and putting him in the ground.
