Chapter 378: Disobedience to the Dictatorship

Hua Xiong said with a smile,

"This time, the heavy cavalry was able to inflict a heavy blow on Liu Bei's army, mainly by surprise.

In the future, Liu Bei will presumably be on guard, and it will not be so easy to succeed. ”

"There is another problem, which restricts the development of heavy cavalry."

Hua Xiong sighed.

"What's the problem?"

Yu Ban asked curiously.

"Money!

The money for one heavy cavalry is enough to support at least five light cavalry. ”

A qualified heavy cavalryman not only requires a soldier to have a strong physique, but also has strict requirements for the quality of the horse.

Rao is Huaxiong now has a big family, and he only made up 3,000 heavy cavalry.

But just this made him feel a little distressed.

"Therefore, the heavy cavalry can only be used as a surprise army."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"However, although the heavy cavalry has many drawbacks, its strength is beyond doubt."

Zhang Liao calmly analyzed,

"In the past, cavalry always had a headache when facing the infantry in formation.

But if there is heavy cavalry, those infantry will not be afraid after forming a formation. ”

"Not bad." Tai Shi Ci nodded and said, "The lord set up such a heavy cavalry, and it was really far-sighted. ”

Everyone was in awe.

……

Let's talk about Liu Bei's camp.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi escaped smoothly.

But the army they led suffered heavy casualties.

Huaxiong's heavy cavalry charged down, and Liu Bei's soldiers killed more than 3,000 people and seriously injured more than 1,000 people.

The most important thing is that their plan was thwarted before it could be implemented.

There was a wail in the barracks, there were wounded soldiers everywhere, and morale was extremely low.

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who had no fighting spirit, his brows were tightly knit and he couldn't speak.

"I didn't expect that there was such a heavy cavalry hidden in Huaxiong's battalion!"

Zhuge Liang sighed, his eyebrows full of loneliness.

He expected that Hua Xiong would be on guard.

But he didn't expect that Hua Xiong would hide such a terrifying cavalry.

When he launched a charge, Hua Xiong released the Xuanjia cavalry and dealt a devastating blow!

Not to mention Zhuge Liang, even Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others all had a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

How can this battle be fought?

Just then, a soldier rushed over.

"My lord, a messenger has been sent from the Huaxiong camp."

Everyone was stunned.

At this juncture, what did Huaxiong send an envoy for?

Could it be to humiliate us?

Everyone looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and then said,

"Bring the messenger here."

After a while, a literati was brought in, it was Li Ru, who had been to Tan County before.

"Xuande Gong, I haven't seen you for a few days, your complexion is getting better and better."

Li Ru said with a smile.

When Liu Bei heard this, it was particularly harsh.

How many battles have you lost in a row, but your complexion is okay?

He said impatiently,

"Li Ru, you have something to say! If you want to humiliate me, get back quickly, and don't let me cut you!" ”

"That's it! If you have something to say, get out of here! ”

Zhang Fei also glared at Li Ru angrily.

Li Ru was not in a hurry, stroked his beard and smiled,

"With the flames of war, I don't know how many lives will be sacrificed.

My lord is compassionate and wants to negotiate with Xuandegong.

Half an hour later, my lord's guild was in the center of our two camps, waiting for Duke Xuande. ”

After Liu Bei and the others heard this, they all looked at each other.

Huaxiong has the upper hand, and he still has to negotiate with his own side?

What exactly does he want to do?

"Big brother, Hua Xiong is a scheming person, maybe he wants to harm you."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said.

"General Yide, please rest assured, my lord will only bring three people, and he will not bring weapons, and Xuande Gong can also bring three people."

Li Ru said with a smile.

Seeing that Liu Bei was silent, Li Ru smiled, turned around and walked away.

Zhang Fei and the others had no intention of stopping him.

"What do you think, lord?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Bei frowned, and said helplessly,

"What can I think? Of course, I went to the appointment. ”

"Big brother!" Guan Yu was also a little anxious, "What if Hua Xiong wants to be unfavorable to you?" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and sighed,

"If the stalemate continues, it will be a dead end.

It's better to go to the meeting and see what kind of medicine is sold in Huaxiong's gourd. ”

"My lord is right."

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei made up his mind and said in a deep voice,

"Second brother, third brother, military advisor, wait for the three of you to accompany me."

"Yes!"

The three of them responded in unison.

Half an hour later.

Hua Xiong had already ordered people to build a shed in the middle of the battlefield.

For the sake of safety, Liu Bei sent a few soldiers out first.

When it was determined that Hua Xiong only brought three people, and there were no weapons, and there were no ambushes around the shed,

Only then did Liu Bei relax and leave the camp with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang and came to the shed.

"Huaxiong, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Liu Bei sat down opposite Huaxiong and said lightly.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang stood behind him.

And behind Hua Xiong, there are Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici.

Hua Xiong looked at Liu Bei with a smile and said,

"Liu Xuande, you have all ended up in this field, do you still plan to continue to fight with me?"

Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei looked angry and said angrily,

"Huaxiong, don't be arrogant! I have the ability to fight with Zhang Fei for 300 rounds! ”

Hua Xiong glanced at him and laughed disdainfully,

"Zhang Yide, if you are not convinced, then we will make a move.

Lao Tzu specializes in all kinds of disobedience! ”

"Okay, who's afraid of whom?"

Zhang Fei didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.

"Third brother!"

Liu Bei slapped the table heavily and glared at Zhang Fei angrily.

Seeing that his eldest brother was so angry, Zhang Fei hurriedly closed his mouth obediently.

Liu Bei took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice,

"Huaxiong, what do you want to do?"

"I want to give you a way out."

Hua Xiong said slowly.

Liu Bei was stunned, and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei behind him were also stunned.

They even thought they had misheard.

"What kind of life?"

Liu Bei said cautiously.

"I can let you leave Xuzhou."

Liu Bei couldn't believe his ears.

He took a closer look at Hua Xiong and saw that it didn't look like a joke.

"Then what conditions do you have?"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and spoke.

He naturally knows that pie will not fall from the sky for no reason.

Hua Xiong is willing to let himself go, which is naturally conditional.

"My conditions are very simple, you can only leave Xuzhou with 3,000 men.

Other than that, you have to leave Zhao Yun behind. ”

Hua Xiong's eyes were fixed on Liu Bei.

"It can't be! I must take all my men and horses away, and Zilong is my favorite general, and I will not leave him behind. ”

Liu Bei refused without thinking about it.

In this troubled world, only with soldiers and horses in hand can you have the confidence to speak.

If you only leave with 3,000 people, whether you go to Cao Cao or Liu Biao, it will be sent to the fence.

Hua Xiong smiled, his smile full of irony.

"Do you think you have the capital to bargain with me?"
