After the siege of Qingzhou was lifted, the Youzhou army rested for three days, and Zou Jing was going to lead the army back to Youzhou. Liu Bei, who had long wanted to break away from Liu Yan, used the excuse of defecting to his teacher Lu Zhi not to go with him. Zou Jing also knew the knot between Liu Bei and Liu Yan, so he didn't force it, and only returned with the Youzhou army. The five hundred warriors recruited by Liu Bei lost some in the two wars, and Zou Jing also selected some volunteers from the Youzhou army to follow Liu Bei and made up the number of five hundred.

After the two armies separated, since Liu Bei said that he was going to defect to Lu Zhi, he naturally couldn't be untrustworthy, and he still wanted to make contributions on the battlefield, so he naturally wanted to find the biggest battlefield. It's just that on the way to Guangzong, Liu Bei was a little worried, Li Xiang saw him like this, and asked, "Big brother, what's on your mind?" ”

Liu Bei was a little difficult to speak, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "We are all our own brothers, so I won't hide it from you." Although Lu Zhonglang is my teacher, he has many disciples of the old man, and he doesn't like Master Lu. When we went to Guangzong this time, I don't know what kind of attitude Master Lu will have, and whether he will not accept us. ”

Li Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Big brother is too worried, students who are good at learning are naturally liked by the teacher, but good learning does not necessarily make the country rich and secure, and if you don't study well, you may only be able to do nothing." And people will become, talents who look good when they are young may not necessarily be talents when they grow up. Big brother, although you can't say that you have achieved fame now, you have broken two yellow scarves in a row, and your talent can already be seen, why are you afraid to see the teacher back then? If you can make another contribution in the battle of Guangzong, Lu Zhonglang will definitely be impressed by you. ”

Liu Bei was originally an indomitable person, and after listening to Li Xiang's persuasion, he cheered up and said: "What the second brother said is that when you go to Guangzong this time, you must make great achievements and show your ability in front of the teacher!" Second brother and third brother, work hard with me! ”

Li Xiang and Zhang Fei agreed in unison, and then they both laughed, looking radiant. It's just that Li Xiang muttered in his heart, according to the original book, Liu Bei didn't make an inch. However, it is not that there is no chance at all, as long as Li Xiang, a person in later generations, secretly supports the move, Liu Bei is still very likely to change his fate.

Sure enough, when they arrived at Guangzong and saw Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was very pleased that Liu Bei could take the initiative to come to help in the battle, and allowed him to stay under his command and obey orders. But the next day, he said that Zhang Jiao had 150,000 troops, and Lu Zhi only had 50,000 men. And Zhang Jiao's younger brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are now in Yingchuan, and they are holding on to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Now he ordered Liu Bei to lead the people of the headquarters, add another thousand people to him, and go to Yingchuan to inquire about the news, see when they can destroy Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and then join the army to break Zhang Jiao together.

Liu Bei could only obey orders and led 1,500 people to leave Guangzong and go to Yingchuan. On the road this time, Liu Bei was even more depressed. Lu Zhi didn't wait to see his prophecy come true, and after only one day of coming, he was sent to Yingchuan.

Li Xiang knew that it was time to change history, and said, "Big brother, we have to hurry up." That Liang Zhang Bao is not the opponent of Huangfu Zhonglang and Zhu Zhonglang, and he can't catch up if he goes late. ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Why did the second brother say this?" The Yingchuan Yellow Turban is also huge, Huangfu Zhonglang and Zhu Zhonglang are outnumbered, and they have not been able to defeat Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao for so long, why do you say that the two Zhonglang thieves are in front of you? ”

Li Xiang had already thought of an excuse and said, "Actually, I'm guessing randomly. Since ancient times, the big battles that can win more with less often rely on external forces, the most commonly used are water, fire, and food shortage. It's the crisp autumn season, the weather is dry, and if there is a fire, even a million troops will be reduced to ashes. The two Zhonglang are both well versed in the way of soldiers, how can they not know such a simple strategy? Just waiting for the right moment. We don't know when this time will come, so it's better to hurry up so as not to miss the feast! ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "The second brother is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a deep knowledge of the art of war, and he will become a great weapon in the future." Okay, just listen to the second brother, send an order to the whole army, move forward at full speed, and rush to Yingchuan as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Fei heard that if he walked slowly, he might miss a big battle, and he was impatient for a long time, so when he heard Liu Bei say this, he simply acted as a herald himself, urging the march with a loud voice.

All the way to the hurry, when they arrived at Yingchuan, Li Xiang was relieved to find that the camp of the Yellow Turban Army was still there, and it had not been broken by the official army. He took a closer look and saw that the Yellow Turbans were indeed camped in a meadow. The grass was a man's height, and it was yellow and dry. What is it to camp in such a place, not to seek death? It is said that it should not be, although the Yellow Turban Army does not have a few people with outstanding wisdom, but the peasants don't even know how to burn the wasteland? That's what they do! How could you not know that camping in such a place would be burned?

Liu Bei also frowned when he saw this scene, and said, "How could the Yellow Turban Thief be so careless? If you camp here, will you not throw yourself to death? ”

Zhang Fei looked at it and said with a grin: "That's because they're stupid!" Such a good opportunity can't be missed, let's hurry up and meet the two Zhonglang, the eldest brother will dedicate the plan to burn the company camp, and he will make a great contribution! Will the emperor's reward be less in the future? ”

Li Xiang shook his head and said: "No, there are more than 100,000 people in the Yellow Turban Army, one is a fool and the other is a fool, can't everyone be a fool?" As soon as one person shouts, everyone else will be alert and everyone will be alarmed. But now all the Yellow Turban Army is honestly living in the camp, which is unreasonable. Big brother, the Yellow Turban Army must be doing this to lure the enemy, and the two Zhonglang adults should be reminded to take precautions. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "As it should be, let's go into the camp and ask to see the two adults." ”

Seeing Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Liu Bei first said what Lu Zhi meant by sending them, and then talked about what happened just now. Who knew that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other and smiled, nodded slightly, and Huangfu Song said: "In your opinion, since the Yellow Turban Thief has set up this plan, how should we crack it?" ”

Liu Bei really didn't think about this question, he just wanted to remind the two Zhonglang not to be fooled, how to design it later, shouldn't it be their business? But now that the two adults asked, he couldn't help but answer. Fortunately, Liu Bei was also quick, glanced back at Li Xiang and Zhang Fei, and immediately had a way, and said: "In my humble opinion, although the Yellow Turban Thieves are numerous, they are chaotic and unclear, as long as they are in chaos except for Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, their army will be chaotic." These two righteous brothers of mine have the courage of ten thousand people, and the head of the general in the million army is like probing for things, and then you can find out where the two are first, and then let the two of them each lead an army, and take two directly, and they will be able to win! ”

Liu Bei also fought hard, in order to leave a good impression in front of the two bigwigs, he almost flew Li Xiang and Zhang Fei. And Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have long noticed Li Xiang and Zhang Fei, one of these two is tall, with a calm bearing, and the other is knotted with muscles and flesh, fierce and vicious, and they are the material of a fierce general at a glance. Now hearing Liu Bei say this, they are all interested. It was still Huangfu Song who opened his mouth and said, "Oh, these two righteous brothers of yours have such martial arts? The old man is going to give it a try. Coming, twenty warriors in the selected army, waiting for orders outside the tent! ”

Then he turned to Li Xiang and Zhang Fei and said, "Two warriors, I don't know what to call them, where are they from?" ”

Li Xiang and Zhang Fei each stepped forward to report their names and places of origin, and Zhu Jun interjected and asked: "Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, you are a good person from Hedong, how did you meet the two of them from Zhuojun and become brothers?" ”

Li Xiang didn't hide it, and said: "Because there is a bully in the township who bullies people, the villain is not popular, so he killed him, and he had to flee for five or six years. When he arrived in Zhuo County, it happened that Liu Taishou of Youzhou went out to recruit volunteers, and the villain wanted to join the army to kill the enemy, so as to wash away the crime, so he met two brothers. Under the talk, they were like-minded, so they married Jinlan and sought wealth together. ”

Huangfu Song laughed and said: "As long as you can really take Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's head, even if you kill the powerful family, I will keep you fine!" ”

As he was talking, someone outside the tent reported that all twenty warriors had arrived and were waiting for orders. Huangfu Song said: "Okay, Yun Chang, Yide, it's time for you to show your skills, come with me!" ”

When a few people came out of the tent, they saw twenty tall and mighty men lined up in two neat rows, and saw Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun come out and kneel on one knee together to salute.

Huangfu Song turned around and asked Li Xiang and Zhang Feidao, "Which of you comes first?" ”

Zhang Fei shouted, "I'll come first!" But it's too troublesome to get on one by one, so let's go to ten at a time! ”

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, the warriors who were summoned were all angry. Even if you look fierce, it doesn't mean you can look down on people! They are also a few good players in the army, and they are all a little arrogant, and they all glared at Zhang Fei with resentful eyes.

Zhang Fei didn't care about those, he took the snake spear with a big face, pointed at them and said, "I won't pick people, this row in front, let's go together!" ”

Although the ten people were angry, they still restrained themselves, looked at Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and waited for their orders. Huangfu Song said: "Since Yide is so loud, let him be." Ten of you go up together, and if you win, each of you will be rewarded with ten pounds of meat and a bucket of wine. But if you lose, you will have ten military sticks, understand? ”

The ten people agreed in unison, each holding a weapon and surrounding Zhang Fei in the middle. Zhu Jun hurriedly added: "This is a competition between comrades, don't be a killer!" ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Zhu Zhonglang, please rest assured, I will show mercy to my subordinates." As for them, it's better to let them play to their heart's content, and make excuses after the province loses. If they can really hurt me, or even take my life, it's because I don't have enough martial arts to complain about others! Do it! ”

The ten people were even angrier when they heard this, and without waiting for Zhu Jun to speak, they rushed forward with a roar. But as soon as they rushed up, Zhang Fei slashed the eight-foot-long spear horizontally, and two of them couldn't dodge it at that time and were smashed out!
