Chapter 72: The Righteous Man

On the plain, Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat at the same table, their faces gloomy, and said: "Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, making the world spurn, and now he is fighting with Yuan Shao in Longcuo, and it is expected that he will be defeated."

The three of my brothers live in the plains, they are restricted everywhere, they are involuntary, and it is by no means a long-term solution, so they want to lead the troops to Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, I don't know what the two brothers want? ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other after hearing this, and didn't know why Liu Bei suddenly wanted to leave, Zhang Fei glared and asked: "Although the plain is small, it can accommodate you, if you go to Bao Xin, I am afraid that it will not be like this!" ”

Guan Yu pondered for a while, looked at Liu Bei and said: "Today, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are fighting, and the victory is not divided, if you leave at this time, I am afraid that the people of the world will regard my brother as an unrighteous person!" ”

After listening to the words of the two brothers, Liu Bei sighed, and said with tears in his eyes: "After my brother is King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, and the same clan as Liu Yu, I can't avenge him now, so I am ashamed, how can I help Gongsun Zhanyan again?" After saying that, he closed his eyes and let the tears flow.

Guan Yu saw his brother crying sadly, and he couldn't bear it, so he stopped talking, while Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, his beard was upside down, and he was extremely helpless.

The three brothers were silent, when suddenly a soldier walked in and said respectfully: "Report to the lord, Tian Kai sent someone to ask to see!" ”

When Liu Bei heard that Tian Kai had sent someone to come, his heart moved slightly, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said, "Please come!" ”

When the soldiers went out, Liu Bei said solemnly: "It must be Yuan Tan who sent troops, and Tian Kai asked my brother to go and help!" ”

When the words fell, the soldier ushered one person in.

When the visitor saw Liu Bei plopping down and kneeling, he bowed loudly: "Today, Yuan Tan led the troops to invade the border, and General Tian specially ordered the villain to come, please General Liu lead the army to help!" ”

Liu Bei glanced at Guan Zhang after hearing this, and then said: "I already know about this matter, you can go back first, and then go by yourself after I finish reorganizing my army!" ”

When the visitor heard Liu Bei's answer, his face was overjoyed, and he bowed and left.

After this person left, Zhang Fei said with a happy face: "I knew that the eldest brother couldn't be so ruthless, so the younger brother went to gather people, and then the soldiers were happy!" ”

"Third brother stays!" When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei getting up and wanted to leave, he immediately stopped it, and asked, "When will I send troops to help Tian Kaiye?" ”

Zhang Fei looked confused when he heard the question, and asked: "It's obvious that the eldest brother said it himself just now, why are you so forgetful?" ”

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Confused, I just said that I led the troops to leave, how can I lead the troops to help Tian Kai?" ”

After listening to it, Zhang Fei thought about it carefully, and then his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Bei with an incredulous expression, not knowing how to speak.

Liu Bei no longer paid attention to Zhang Fei and said: "My intention has been decided, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, I will not send troops to fight with benevolence and righteousness, and I will not help again, the two brothers quickly reorganized their troops, loaded their baggage, and immediately set off to defect to Bao Xin!" ”

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, no longer persuaded him, and got up to agree, while Zhang Fei pursed his lips and glared at Liu Bei, for a moment, sighed heavily, shook his head and left with Guan Yu.

The three thousand men and horses were assembled quickly, and the grain and grass in the city were not too much, and they were soon loaded. ”

Liu Bei turned over and dismounted, and said to everyone: "Liu Yu is a benevolent gentleman, an elder in the world, his benevolent name spreads far and wide, and he has educated Youzhou, and now he was killed by Gongsun Zan for no reason, my heart hurts!"

Although Gongsun Chan was in the same door as Bei and was very helpful, this matter was difficult to forgive, so the leader resigned and never joined the army again! ”

The plain is very close to Youzhou, and everyone has heard about Liu Yu's affairs, and when they heard that Liu Bei left the plain because of this matter, although they were reluctant to express their support, they all said loudly: "General Liu is really a person of faith and righteousness!" After saying that, they all bowed on both sides of the road.

Liu Bei was shocked when he saw this, with tears in his eyes, bowed down to return the salute, and personally stepped forward with Guan Zhang and the others, helped everyone up one by one, and thanked Fang again and again before leading the troops to leave and defect to Bao Xin.

……

Yuan Tan had already led the troops to Le'an, and challenged under the city all day, at the beginning Tian Kaishang led the troops out of the city to fight, but there was no victory, so he closed the city gate, and let Yuan Tan lead the people to scold in every way, and resolutely did not come out.

In the big tent outside the city, Yuan Tan said angrily: "That Tian Kai is called a famous general in vain, but he only knows how to stick to it, and he is really a rat!" ”

His general Cen Bi got up and replied: "Imada Kai sticks to the city, relying on the city wall and not fighting, it must be a plan for Tuoyan, Liu Bei of the plain, known as Gongsun Zhan's horse head, now Zhi Tian Kai is surrounded, he will definitely lead troops to rescue, and he must not be guarded against!" ”

Yuan Tan woke up violently after hearing this, and the previous few defeats were related to Liu Bei's leading troops to kill, and immediately ordered: "Peng An, order you to lead 5,000 men and horses and set up an ambush halfway, if Liu Bei leads troops to, wait for more than half of his army, and then kill it, his army will be chaotic!" ”

Peng An listened to the tone, got up to receive the order, and then turned around and led the troops out of the tent to ambush Liu Bei.

After Yuan Tan gave Peng An's instructions, he relieved himself in his heart and said loudly: "In the city of Jintian Kaigui, no matter what insults you have, you will not fight?" ”

Pioneer Wang Zhao replied: "Imada Kai's subordinates are all new soldiers, less than training, the last general thinks that the general can use the strategy of exhausting the troops, no more, two days, and then attack the city with strong troops, but a battle is also down!" ”

Yuan Tan was overjoyed after hearing this, and praised: "General Wang's plan is very clever, you are the vanguard, and you will lead the troops to do it, if you succeed, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

After hearing the great joy, Wang Zhao immediately took the order and left.

In the city, Tian Kai was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly Fu Zhi remembered something in his heart, and hurriedly stopped and shouted loudly outside the door: "Someone! ”

The guard outside the door heard the shout, quickly entered, and bowed: "General! ”

"Hurry up and find General Wen Ze!"

"No!"

After a while, Wen Ze strode in.

"I don't know what the general commanded the general?"

Tian Kai looked at the only general in his hand who could handle it, nodded and said: "I can't defend the city for days, Yuan Tan will come up with a strange plan, I think about it left and right, I am afraid that it will bully my recruits, use a plan to exhaust the soldiers, and hit morale, so I call you to come and discuss countermeasures!" ”

After listening to the thoughts, Wen Ze also felt reasonable, so he replied: "The general can rest assured, if you want to use the strategy of exhausting the army, it will be night, I will wait until it is dark and lead the troops out of the city with ropes, and ambush in the dark, if they do not come, they will be killed, and the enemy will be defeated!" ”

After hearing this, Tian Kai was overjoyed, and solemnly bowed: "Please ask the general for this matter!" ”

Wen Ze saw Tian Kai saluting himself, his face was shocked, he hurriedly dodged sideways, stretched out his hand to help Tian Kai up, and said: "The general can't be like this, leading the troops to kill the enemy is the duty of the last general, tonight the general only guards the city, if the enemy arrives, he will be defeated and return!" ”

Tian Kai was excited and praised: "It's really strong! ”

The two of them discussed some details, and then ordered Wen to go down and prepare.

Tian Kai looked at Wen Ze who was leaving, and sighed softly, in the original battle of Beihai, if it wasn't for his greed for merit and rashness, which led to a big defeat, how could he be persecuted by a little Yuan Tan?

Thinking of this, Tian Kai suddenly remembered Liu Bei, he sent someone to deliver the letter for a few days, why did he still not see the leader of the troops to help?
