Chapter 603: Secret Layout

Seeing the tiger and leopard ride retreat like a tide......

Liu Pan did not have the idea of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and at the same time ordered the guards around him to wave the order flag, so that the red-eyed soldiers on the front line slowly withdrew their troops.

The purpose of this battle has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to take risks.

Although it was only less than half a day to fight with the tiger and leopard cavalry, the casualties of the Jiangxia army definitely reached an astonishing number.

The boundless military array, which was originally like an ocean, was less than half in his eyes, and the heavy casualties could be imagined.

After this battle, the combat power of his men and horses will not be the same as before.

After all, it is the world's elite tiger and leopard riders who are fighting!

Speaking of which, this time the Jiangxia army definitely took a big advantage, taking advantage of the dispersion of the tiger and leopard cavalry to cover up the killing, and finally able to force the other party back, there are very signs of winning without force.

Of course, a victory is a victory, and it doesn't matter what the means are.

Liu Pan has been in battle for a long time, so he naturally knows this.

The goal of this trip has been achieved, and by the way, he can also train the troops, which is already quite good, and he did not ask for more.

Naturally, he didn't need to deal with the matter of cleaning up the battlefield personally.

glanced at the direction where Liu Bei's handsome banner was, turned the horse's head and prepared to go over to see this person, to be honest, I was not very interested in this person in my heart.

Don't talk nonsense like Liu Bei's benevolence......

As a confidant general raised by Jing Shenggong, how could Liu Pan not understand the delicate relationship between Jing Shenggong and Liu Bei?

At the beginning, the reason why Jingsheng Gong accepted Liu Bei was to let Liu Bei act as a barrier in Jingzhou to resist the threat of Cao's army from Nanyang.

But who expected that Cao Jun would not arrive for a long time, but asked Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold in the Xinye area, which was very depressing.

In particular, Liu Bei is very good at interpersonal relationships, and I don't know when Liu Bei's supporters appeared in the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion.

Coupled with Liu Bei's 100,000 male soldiers, and the assistance of peerless fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, my heart is numb when I think about it.

What made Jingsheng Gong most depressed was that Liu Bei was invited in by him on his own initiative, which was similar to luring a wolf into the room.

Before, Jingsheng almost killed Liu Bei......

It's a pity that Liu Bei's luck was so good that he was able to escape the danger of his life, and he had no chance after that.

Liu Pan, as a general of Jingzhou, knows these things well......

It was impossible for him to have a good impression of Liu Bei.

The reason why the reinforcements were in time at the moment was also the order of the eldest prince, and the situation dictated, otherwise he really didn't want to come over in person.

"Hey, why don't you chase the fleeing tiger and leopard?"

At this moment, a horse suddenly fell from the sky, and even people and horses were wrapped in rolling black flames, indescribably mighty and domineering, and the sound was like thunder.

Liu Pan's heart sank, feeling as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast, and his hairs stood on end, and he felt frightened.

quickly reacted, and when he saw Zhang Fei, who was as majestic as a demon god, he said angrily: "If General Zhang is so capable, why don't you chase and kill yourself?" ”

On Zhang Fei's body, he sensed a very familiar aura of oppression.

has been with Huang Zhong for many years, and it is not that he has not felt such a terrifying power, and he has some experience, at least he was not shocked by Zhang Fei's full momentum at this time.

"What kind of are you talking about?"

Zhang Fei was murderous at this time, and when he heard this, he suddenly had a pair of copper bells with big eyes, and shouted angrily: "If there are a thousand soldiers in his hands, he will definitely not ask the tiger and leopard to evacuate easily!" ”

"What's there to say about that?"

Liu Pan was under great pressure and sneered: "When the general gathers a thousand men, he can quickly catch up!" ”

"You!"

It's really a pot that can't be opened, Liu Pan's words are simply a scar that falls barely, where can Zhang Fei endure this, and he was suddenly furious and about to take action.

Hehe......

Liu Pan's eyes were full of cold light, and there was no timidity at all.

The aura of the guards behind him was majestic, and the military aura above his head was awe-inspiring, and he could provide majestic power at any time, making his strength instantly increase to the peak of the first-class, and the momentum would not be too much worse than Zhang Fei.

If he didn't have the experience of dealing with peerless generals in the past, it would be fine, but he was good friends with Huang Zhong......

At that time, Huang Zhong was only in his early fifties, and he was still at his peak, with a body of power and strength, and he was definitely above Zhang Fei.

It was also under Huang Zhong's guidance that his cultivation ability could reach the peak of the second rate in a short period of time from the third-rate realm, and there was no reason to be afraid of Zhang Fei at all.

"Yide can't come nonsense!"

At the moment when the atmosphere was tense, Liu Bei's reprimand came.

Obviously, Zhang Fei was very much at it, the rolling black flames on his body suddenly dissipated, and the evil aura on his face disappeared with it, as if it was not him who was about to start fighting just now.

Liu Pan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to signal that the guards behind him did not need to be nervous, and then looked at Liu Bei and his party who were galloping on horseback.

"Bei, thank you for the general's rescue!"

Liu Bei came on horseback, hurriedly turned over and landed on the ground, and said with gratitude on his face.

Liu Pan didn't hold it up, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted back: "You don't have to be polite, you are also ordered by the eldest prince to come!" ”

"Oh, the general turned out to be the general of Jiangxia!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was very surprised, and hurriedly invited enthusiastically: "It's not a good place to talk right now, it's better to go to the hill next to you to talk!" ”

Liu Pan did not refuse, followed with his personal guards, and went directly to the small hill next to him, where he could see signs of disarray within a radius of ten miles.

"This time, thanks to the general, and a certain nephew!"

"No need to be polite, when the eldest prince sent someone over, he said that if the envoy is out of the question, Jiangxia will not be able to withstand the rolling soldiers of the Cao army!"

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say it, after many years of training, I finally gathered 100,000 elite soldiers, but I couldn't resist the repeated impacts of Cao Thief's department, and finally my brain became the current scene!"

"You don't need to be like this, Cao Thief is powerful and dominates the north, and he has millions of soldiers, which is not so easy to deal with!"

"I wonder what my nephew thinks?"

"The eldest prince invited Juntun to be stationed in Fankou and form an angle with Jiangxia to fight against Cao thief!"

"That's great!"

Liu Bei just groaned slightly, and quickly agreed.

In fact, he originally wanted to go to Gangneung City, which has strong walls and hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, and the geographical location is very important.

If you really occupy Gangneung City, there will be more room for you to play in the future.

It's just that the Cao army is too embarrassed at the moment, and the men and horses that his subordinates can gather will definitely not exceed 30,000, and they are all newly defeated.

If it is against the main force of the Cao army again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The previous 10,000 tigers and leopards chased so hard, and it is estimated that there are also factors in this regard.

Liu Bei has extremely rich combat experience, and he may not be good at specific strategies and tactics, but his vision and ability are definitely not bad.

Unless, Liu Pan's subordinates, who came to support, are willing to obey orders.

But, this is not possible......

Liu Pan's department can retreat 10,000 tigers and leopards with a huge battle loss ratio, which is definitely an elite man.

Such elite people are absolutely rare in the hands of Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi.

In these troubled times, only with soldiers in hand can there be a chance to struggle for survival.

Not to mention that the relationship between him and Liu Qi is quite delicate, even if the relationship is close, it is impossible to be generous to such an extent.

At the critical moment, he supported Liu Bei and saved him from being wiped out.

Liu Pan felt that he had completed the task, and immediately bid farewell to Liu Bei.

As a result, it was only Liu Bei's enthusiasm to stay, and he planned to stay for one more day, and wait for Liu Bei to gather enough rout troops before leaving.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that Liu Bei's methods of winning over relationships were too powerful, even if he resisted in his heart, he couldn't resist it.

And in the next day, a steady stream of routs came in, which opened his eyes and surprised him very much.

You must know that Liu Bei is not a local battle!

Even if they fight on the mainland, at least half of the generals who are generally scattered will disappear completely, and they will not take the initiative to take refuge with the boss who was defeated before.

But on Liu Bei's side, the situation is a little weird.

As if the light emanating from his body, he attracted one after another routed army generals, and the more and more people gathered, he quickly gathered tens of thousands of routs.

Among them, there are peerless generals such as Changshan Zhao Zilong, who made Liu Pan stunned, and he didn't know what to say.

Sure enough, as the eldest prince said, Liu Bei has been able to survive the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, and he will survive the original heroes to death, which is definitely outstanding.

Not only was he observing how Liu Bei and his party successfully collected the rout, but Liu Bei's side was obviously very interested in him, the Jiangxia general.

Although Liu Bei did not go out to investigate in person, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the two peerless generals, took the initiative to come to make friends and gossip.

It feels very funny, but fortunately, before coming, the eldest prince had already given instructions, so Liu Pan also knew everything, which was enough to save face.

Liu Bei soon learned about the situation on Jiang Xia's side......

"I don't want that nephew, there are still some means!"

"After all, he is the eldest son of Jingsheng Gong's knee, and he has been strictly cultivated since he was a child, and his personality may not be hard enough, but it is impossible to say that the eldest prince does not have much ability!"

Liu Bei's henchmen smiled and talked to him about it.

"That's right, Cao Jun's strength is about to attack Jiangxia, if a certain nephew hasn't said anything yet, then it's really hopeless!"

"It's just a pity that Jingsheng Gong passed away too quickly, and the time left for the eldest prince is too short, otherwise we can get more help!"

"Indeed, but the current situation is not bad for us!"

"Yes, if the eldest prince's Jiangxia army is too strong, our life will not be too easy, so it's just right!"

"It's just that the Cao thief is powerful right now, and if Jiang Xia's strength is too weak, he may be in danger of overturning at any time, so what can he do?"

"The lord doesn't have to worry, in addition to us and the eldest prince of Jiangxia, Sun Quan, who wants to come to Jiangdong, is also shocked at this time!"

……

It is said that Liu Qi sent his general Liu Pan to personally lead 20,000 trained Jiangxia troops to rush to the aid of Liu Bei, who was defeated, and repelled the desperate tiger and leopard cavalry in Dangyang in time, giving Liu Bei a chance to breathe and retain more strength and combat power.

He didn't act in a way that was entirely kind......

Liu Bei's losses are too heavy, and it is not a good thing for the Sun-Liu Alliance in the future, so he naturally wants to help in secret.

In addition, he also didn't want the Xuzhou faction under Liu Da'er to end quickly.

In real history, with the death of Mrs. Mi, the Xuzhou Group, which was originally one of the main forces of Liu Bei's group, declined rapidly until Mi Fang's defection to Jiangdong came to a complete end.

It is precisely because of this that after the Chibi War, Liu Bei's group easily completed the transfer of power, making it easy for the newly defected Jingzhou scholars to take refuge, and they did not encounter serious internal friction and infighting.

Liu Qi naturally wouldn't let Liu Bei live so smoothly......

Liu Pan was sent to support in time, so that Mrs. Mi, the backbone of the Xuzhou Group under Liu Bei's group, was still alive and well.

As long as Mrs. Mi does not die, the momentum and influence of the Xuzhou Group will not decline rapidly. When Liu Bei accepts Jingzhou scholars in the future, it will be impossible to complete the transfer of power so smoothly.

On the other hand, I don't want Liu Bei's strength to lose too much, and he will be in too weak position in the Sun-Liu Alliance in the future.

In the official history, the so-called Sun-Liu Alliance is a joke......

Liu Bei's men and horses at that time were only 10,000 infantry troops supported by Jiangxia, as well as the so-called Jiangxia Naval Army, and 10,000 garbage soldiers and horses controlled by Liu Qi.

The Battle of Chibi was almost completed by Soochow!

As for Liu Bei, it is estimated that Sun Quan has pulled up the warship in order to increase his momentum, and he has no right to speak in the Sun-Liu Alliance.

Don't look at the romance, Zhuge Liang is mythologized, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't play much role at all.

Could it be that Zhuge Liang didn't make the Eastern Wu tongue battle group Confucian, and Sun Quan didn't have the possibility of a showdown with Cao Jun, what are you kidding?

With the support of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the two main battle factions, as well as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang and other military bigwigs, Sun Quan could not really be captured.

Liu Qi means that Liu Bei will retain more strength and have more say in the Sun-Liu Alliance in the future.

When the Battle of Chibi ended and the Sun-Liu Alliance shared the results, I thought that Sun Quan would definitely not despise Liu Bei at that time, so that Liu Bei quietly took advantage of it.

Sending Liu Pan to support has so many benefits, Liu Qi naturally will not let it go.

At this time, he has not yet raised any ambition to dominate the world, but he has not thought of being a puppet at the mercy of others.

Whether Jiangdong takes Jingzhou or Liu Bei becomes the lord of Jingzhou, it is not a good thing for Liu Qi.

The best result is that Jingzhou's forces are mixed, and no one has the possibility of being dominant, which is the best result for Liu Qi.

Therefore, the ambush that should be fought must be done well in advance, and then you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

At least, before Liu Bei has not completely straightened out his internal situation and separated the victory from Jiangdong, he will not easily offend Liu Qi, a special existence.

Just when Liu Qi was secretly arranged, Liu Dang, the leader of his guards, hurriedly ran over and reported: "Eldest prince, we caught a messenger from Eastern Wu at the Xiakou Wharf, saying that he was condoling Jingshenggong!" ”

Liu Qi had a strange smile on his face, and said curiously: "Oh, which one is Jiang Dong?" ”

"Lu Su!"
