Chapter 144: Liu Bei's Battle (4,000 Chapters)
Yang Ang snatched Liu Bei and ran away without any hesitation.
The follow-up soldiers and horses are coming, and with only his hands, there is no chance of victory. Only when he arrives in Yangping Pass can he be considered stable, and taking Liu Bei is too much credit.
In the panic army, Xu Shu was full of chagrin.
Fang Cai was in a hurry and only cared about retreating, he didn't expect that there would be an ambush here. Because Liu Bei was at the forefront, he was captured by the enemy at once, and he was completely unstoppable.
A soldier approached and asked worriedly:
"Strategist, what should I do now?"
When Xu Shu heard this, he looked at it from afar, shook his head with a sigh, and said:
"Let's wait for Yide and Zilong to come over!"
Yang Ang waited for work, and the soldiers were full of energy, and they ran faster. And they traveled a long way, their physical strength was exhausted, and it was impossible to catch up, so they could only watch the enemy army go away.
As for Yang Ang's goal, it is obviously to go to Yangping Pass.
When the enemy army entered Yangping Pass, they had nothing to do. Only by waiting for Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to come over, they can also try to break through Yangping Pass and rescue Liu Bei.
This plan, based on Xu Shu's speculation:
The main forces in Yangping Guanzhong were all transferred.
Yang Ang was ambushed, and there were not many soldiers and horses under his command, and there were also people left and right.
Liu Bei was tied tightly.
Then he was thrown on a horse, and the bumps along the way made him very uncomfortable.
At the same time, Liu Bei's mood is also complicated.
Fang Cai didn't notice it for a while, but he was taken prisoner, and he was still taken by a nobody like Yang Ang.
At this moment, Liu Bei felt very ashamed.
He didn't know what to say.
Hanzhong was not taken, but was pursued by Cao's army, and finally escaped alive and was captured again.
I was so miserable.
As for his results, Liu Bei is not completely desperate at this moment. With the military advisor and Yide and Zilong here, they will definitely try to rescue him, hoping to succeed sooner.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief.
What a miserable life for me!
Yang Ang, who was only a stone's throw away from Liu Bei, was in a completely different mood. Originally, he was ambushed at the exit, just wanting to take advantage of it and leaving, but he didn't expect to pick up a big achievement.
I really don't have anyone else with this luck.
This is the blessing of God.
It's also the day to die, you Liu Bei!
If the two armies clashed, of course Yang Ang would not dare to be arrogant, but Liu Bei had already become a prisoner, so there was no need to scruple about anything.
Where the intersection was, Xu Shu waited anxiously.
Liu Bei has the grace of knowing him, of course he doesn't want to see Liu Bei have an accident. Time is pressing, they must reorganize their troops and horses as soon as possible, and then take Yangping Pass, so that they have a chance.
Follow-up soldiers and horses gradually appeared.
It was Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others who successfully broke through.
waited to see Xu Shu and his party waiting in place.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were suspicious, they looked left and right, but they didn't see Liu Bei.
Although they didn't know what was going on, they all realized that the situation was not good, Zhang Fei hurriedly walked up to Xu Shu and asked:
"Strategist, my eldest brother, right?"
Xu Shu saw that it was Zhang Fei, and said abruptly:
"Just now, I broke out with the lord, and just arrived at the intersection, I didn't expect to meet an ambush. The lord was caught off guard and was taken away by the enemy general, and now he has gone to Yangping Pass. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was obviously stunned, and then he was extremely angry, he lifted Xu Shu up with one hand, and shouted:
"What are you talking nonsense, my eldest brother is such a hero, how can he be captured so easily. It must be that you are uneasy and kind, and you deliberately calculated my eldest brother. ”
Xu Shu's strength, of course, is far from being Zhang Fei's opponent, he is being pulled at the moment, and he has no power to resist at all.
Of course, Xu Shu did not resist and said:
"I do have a dereliction of duty in this matter, so that the lord fell into an ambush, if General Zhang feels that he has to kill Shu to relieve his anger, then do it, Shu has no resentment."
Different from Zhang Fei's hysteria.
Although Zhao Yun frowned, he still kept his senses.
He hurriedly came up and persuaded:
"Yide, you can't blame the military advisor for this matter, how can you be so rude, besides, even if you kill the military advisor now, what can you change, can the lord come back?"
Zhang Fei still didn't give up, gritted his teeth and said:
"Then why did you station troops here, but didn't rescue my eldest brother as soon as possible, and said that you didn't have ulterior motives."
In this regard, Xu Shu said calmly:
"General Zhang's concerns, Shu naturally knows, but our army has traveled a long way, and the enemy army is waiting for work, General Zhang thinks we can catch up, in fact, Shu has been waiting for you to arrive.
Even if the lord is taken back to Yangping Pass, the main force of Yangping Pass is not there, as long as we seize this gap and take Yangping Pass as soon as possible, we can rescue the lord. ”
Zhao Yun suddenly took Zhang Fei's hand and rescued Xu Shu, and said at the same time:
"Yide, the military advisor and the lord are also close friends, he also doesn't want the lord to have an accident, now that the lord has fallen into the hands of the enemy, we should work together to rescue the lord."
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei finally calmed down.
He knew that there was no benefit to Xu Shu, but he was angry and couldn't help it.
Now that he has eased up, he didn't look at Xu Shu, but locked the direction of Yangping Pass, gritted his teeth and said:
"Big brother, wait until I rescue you."
Zhao Yun is still very self-aware.
Although their force is extremely strong, how to use troops to plan is far inferior to Xu Shu.
Otherwise, how could Xu Shu be a military advisor?
Zhao Yun opened his mouth and asked:
"Strategist, now that everyone has arrived, what should we do now?"
Xu Shu swept his eyes, nodded and said:
"Without further ado, we will immediately chase to Yangping Pass, now although our army has suffered certain losses, but the strength is still there, if there are only thousands of defenders in Yangping Pass, there should be no problem in saving the lord.
Although the enemy army was ambushed at the intersection, it was an accident that the lord was taken captive, and it would take some time for them to reach Yangping Pass, which was a good opportunity for us to tackle the problem. ”
After Xu Shu finished speaking, Zhao Yun nodded, pulled Zhang Fei and said:
"Yide, I'll wait until I go to the rescue of the lord."
Without Liu Bei, Zhang Fei would have lost his backbone, not like a generation of fierce generals, but a little childish.
Since Zhao Yun has said it, he will not delay.
Immediately led the army forward.
Time was tight, and they couldn't take much care of it.
Really waiting for the Yangping Pass defenders to come back to help, they want to rescue Liu Bei, there will be no chance.
Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Previously, the army stormed Yangping Pass, but did not achieve any effect.
Now it's just taking advantage of the situation.
Yang Ang took Liu Bei all the way back to Yangping Pass.
Although he didn't know Xu Shu's plan, he was sure that he had taken their bosses away, and it wouldn't be long before these people would definitely catch up, so there was no need to doubt it.
Therefore, Yang Ang asked people to send a letter to Yang Ren again.
These soldiers and horses under him may not be able to defend against Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, but when Yang Ren comes back to help, they will be invincible at Yangping Pass, and there is no need to worry at all.
Thinking of this, Yang Ang looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile:
"Liu Xuande, did you ever think that you would have today?"
Liu Bei was embarrassed and reprimanded:
"You dog thief, you design an ambush, if it weren't for the absence of my general, you would definitely cut off your dog's head."
But Yang Ang didn't care.
No matter how Liu Bei shouted, the result was the same.
He had a smug smile on his face.
At this moment, Yang Ren had already led the army to Dingjun Mountain.
Cooperate with Xu Huang and Zhang He to chase and kill all the way.
There is no doubt that they won this battle by a big margin. If Liu Bei had chosen to take the initiative to face the battle at the beginning, they might not have been able to win so easily, but Liu Bei chose to run away.
Because he was afraid of Yang Ren's existence, he was afraid that he would be made dumplings by the enemy.
Now Liu Bei has no logistics and no reinforcements, and in the face of the attack of the two armies, he has no chance of winning at all.
So Liu Bei ran away and paid a terrible price.
In Liu Bei's military camp.
Xu Huang couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Uncle Liu's retreat, sure enough, is still not lost back then, let them run away this time, and when the prime minister's army comes, one day this Liu Bei will be taken."
Zhang He also affirmed:
"Liu Bei has wolf ambitions, and wants to seize Hanzhong and plot the world, but he really thinks things are too simple, and the world will definitely be owned by the prime minister."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang asked Yang Ren curiously:
"General Yang, how many soldiers and horses did you leave behind to guard the pass?"
Yang Ren didn't hide it, nodded and said:
"Don't hide it from the two of you, now there are no soldiers and horses in Yangping Pass, I sent Yang Angren to ambush at the intersection, and I don't know if there will be any gains."
"Oh, that's it."
Xu Huang was slightly surprised.
But at the moment, he didn't expect much.
After all, Liu Ranran's prestige is well known, and it is too difficult to take down Liu Bei, at most he will take a small advantage.
Everyone put things in order.
Following.
Suddenly, there was an urgent report.
The three will gather in the big tent, and someone reported:
"General Yang Ang led people to ambush the intersection, and just happened to meet Liu Bei's rout, so he attacked with arrows, and finally took Liu Bei, and now he has withdrawn to Yangping Pass.
It's just that there is still Liu Bei's army in the follow-up, and he asks the generals to return to the army to support, and the time is urgent and urgent. ”
The moment they heard the news, the three of them were stunned.
Xu Huang said with a strange face:
"You mean, Liu Bei was captured?"
The person who came said respectfully:
"Now Liu Bei is already a prisoner."
Xu Huang and Zhang He led the troops, but Xu Huang was the main general, he stood up without hesitation and said:
"It's really good, I didn't expect to be able to take down Liu Bei, General Yang, you have made a great contribution."
Yang Ren was a little embarrassed, but in fact, he couldn't figure out the situation.
But now that there is news coming to the door.
This means that this matter will never be faked.
"General Gongming, then we will support Yangping Pass as soon as possible!"
As soon as his thoughts turned, Yang Ren spoke.
Now Yang Ang does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, if he is taken by Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei is rescued back, it will be a pity, this matter is very important.
Xu Huang did not hesitate, nodded and agreed:
"Okay, I'll go to Yangping Pass later, and when the situation is confirmed, I will personally write to the prime minister and ask for credit for the two of you."
The current Hanzhong is already considered to belong to Cao Cao.
It's just that Zhang Lu is still in charge.
Cao Cao was transferring troops to Chang'an, plotting for the land of Xiliang, and he didn't have time to send someone to take over Hanzhong, so he just dragged Liu Bei anyway.
He is very confident in Xu Huang and Zhang He.
Hearing Xu Huang's words, Yang Ren was overjoyed, he had just arrived under Cao Cao now, and he had no merit, but with Yang Ang's capture of Liu Bei, it was enough for them to be crowned marquis.
In these years, Guan Neihou is not worth much.
but he is also in the midst of the queue.
Without delay, Xu Huang immediately ordered his troops and horses and hurried to Yangping Pass with all his might.
Outside Yangping Pass.
After a night of pursuit, they finally reached the front of the pass.
Xu Shu said solemnly:
"This Yang Ren captured the lord, and he must inform Xu Huang of them as soon as possible, perhaps now that Cao Jun has learned the news, several generals will attack the city with all their might, and they must take Yangping Pass as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with the current strength of our army, it is impossible to take the pass at all, and the enemy will take advantage of the victory. ”
Although Zhang Fei had resentment in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off in saving Liu Bei.
At this moment, the soldiers and horses are tired, this is inevitable.
They simply can't stop and rest.
If they wait for Xu Huang and them to arrive, Yangpingguan will be wishful thinking.
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others will be in front.
They led the troops to the pass, and Zhang Feilang shouted angrily:
"Dog thief, don't let my eldest brother go yet."
Put?
How is this possible?
Yang Ang is not stupid, and he finally got the credit, and today is it
I have to keep this old life.
With Liu Bei here, it is not a problem to soar.
He replied from the tower:
"You, if you have the ability, you come up and shout outside. By the way, you may not know that it won't be long before reinforcements arrive at my Yangping Pass.
Wait for the lost dog, just wait for death! ”
Although Yang Ang knew that he was by no means the opponent of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, these two were famous warriors in the world.
But at the moment, personal strength is not the most important thing
I am in Yangping Pass.
And Zhang Fei and the others don't even have many siege equipment.
So you want to take Yangping Pass?
It's just wishful thinking.
Even if he is only human, it is enough to delay for a while.
Meantime.
Yang Ang directly slipped Liu Bei up and shouted on the city tower:
"Liu Bei is here, whether you can take him away depends on whether you have such great ability."
Zhang Fei fixed his eyes and saw that it was Liu Bei.
At this moment, Liu Bei closed his eyes slightly, looking haggard, and he was extremely angry when he saw Zhang Fei open his teeth and claws.
And this is exactly the effect that Yang Ang wants.
Anyway, Zhang Fei can't get in, so what if he is shouting outside?
It doesn't affect him anyway.
Zhang Fei bared his teeth and shouted:
"Dog thief, you are waiting, you dare to treat my eldest brother like this, and when I enter the customs, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives!"
Xu Shu frowned, and said:
"Zilong, Yide, we can't delay any longer, even if we use human lives, we have to rescue the lord as soon as possible."
The two generals each led their troops and horses and began the attack with the only equipment they had.
They came in a hurry.
There was simply no time to prepare anything else.
Anyway, in the current situation, they have no other choice but to work hard, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent.
On the tower of the city, covered by a rain of arrows, you come and go.
And so the battle broke out.
And it was extremely intense, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were all desperate.
Yang Ren is also desperately guarding the pass.
For his own life, but also for the credit in his hands.
He must defend Yangping Pass.
No one can take Liu Bei away from him!
Hearing the sound of fighting outside, Liu Bei's eyes closed more and more tightly.
