Chapter 578 - Liu Xie's Calculation

Liu Bei's face at this time was still slowly sad, and he didn't seem to have recovered from Guan Yu's death.

Then I received the news of the heavy casualties in my rear.

At the same time, he looked at Zhuge Kongming not far away, hoping to get some good news from Zhuge Kongming

But....

"My lord.... Bright incompetence! ”

At this time, Zhuge Kongming's face felt powerless for the first time, and he felt like his heart was about to collapse.

He knew what Liu Bei wanted to ask, but he could only bow to Liu Bei.

"Liang and Shi Yuan and the others have been stepping up their training of the soldiers under the command of the lord, but now they have not recovered from the previous panic.

If you force yourself on the battlefield, I'm afraid there will be big problems..."

is also a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, of course Liu Bei also understands this.

He knew that this victory was the happiest thing, but it was also the most dangerous thing.

Don't look at the time when Guan Yu was able to use those soldiers who surrendered to defeat the Jiangdong soldiers, but that was also Guan Yu's own extraordinary bravery, and it was a big victory.

They're just fighting with the wind.

In such a life-or-death situation, these surrendered troops to the battlefield may become a burden to them, and if necessary, they will even directly turn their backs on themselves and surrender to the other side.

This is also why since ancient times, there have been so many people who have killed and surrendered to the army.

It's not that they are ruthless and disregard for human life.

But they themselves know that sometimes there is no way not to do it!

And Liu Bei is even more desperate than those people now, because he has not just won a big victory.

He has already dispersed all those surrendered troops and entered his command, it can be said that except for Zhang Fei, who looks down on those surrendered troops.

Everyone, including Wei Yan and Liu Pan, already has those Jiangdong and Cao clan's generals under their command....

Now these people are inseparable from their former soldiers, if they want to slaughter them all.

I'm afraid that the entire Liu Bei command will be completely chaotic at that time.

That's the real killing!

Today's Liu Bei is in such a dilemma.

If he continued to train the soldiers, Cao Jun had already spread the news, and these people were all full of panic, and there was no way to take care of them at all.

There was no time for Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others to take them into their own pockets and fight for Liu Bei with peace of mind.

Even if you give enough money and food as a reward now, it will not be enough.

The sentence "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward" is true, but this is just for the old soldier, or the family members who are concerned about it, or the soldiers who already have affection.

In these old soldiers, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and he will not listen.

After all... Under the heavy reward, they also have to wonder if they have a destiny?

This embarrassing situation made Liu Bei's face extremely ugly, and Huo Jun, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and others tried their best to buy him time.

He didn't take advantage of it.

However, Liu Bei is not a fool, he was not unusually angry at this time, nor did he say any frustrating words.

His face was just gloomy, and after a sigh, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Report!"

Just when Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered how he was going to solve the current problem, one of the scouts suddenly rushed in.

Then he shouted at Liu Bei with a face full of horror.

"The lord is not good, General Zhang Fei led the troops away... He... He seems to have gone to fight with the Cao army! ”

As soon as the scout's words were finished, the faces of Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming and the others beside him changed dramatically.

"What are you going to do at this time!"

"Why didn't anyone stop General Zhang!"

These two questions appeared from Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming's mouths at the same time, but soon the two of them couldn't help but sigh.

Because these two questions don't need to be answered by others at all.

Zhang Fei went out at this time regardless of Liu Bei's order, what did he want to do, do you need to say more?

Guan Yu is dead... This in itself was a very fatal blow to Zhang Fei.

Although it is said... Guan Yu did not die on the battlefield in this life, but his death was inseparable from the Cao clan and Jiangdong.

If it weren't for the cooperation between Jiangdong and the Cao family, and then constantly seriously injured Guan Yu, how could he die so desolate at such an age?

Although everyone didn't say these things, they kept suppressing their anger in their hearts.

It is because of this feeling that everyone did not fight with Na Jiangdong to the end.

But... Originally, their idea was to scavenge enough benefits from Jiangdong this time, and then they could continue to fight for the rest of the time.

Slowly swallow this Jiangdong into your stomach, and you can even try to take Jiangdong, or even counterattack Liu Xie...

But no!

It's not that they don't have a chance, they have already tried out the heritage of Jiangdong, and they have found their next path step by step.

But seeing that he was about to start his next plan, Cao Shi came.

Even broke all their plans, even... Let them perish!

And the next moment, Liu Bei had received a message again that made him not know whether to be happy or painful.

"My lord, there is a messenger in Chang'an named Jiang Gan, who came to meet the lord...."

"Jiang Gan?" When Liu Bei heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned in place, "Jiang Gan... Jiang Gan is coming... It seems that His Majesty is preferring... Hehehe...."

After hearing Jiang Gan's name, Liu Bei seemed to think of something, thinking of the years when he had followed the little emperor.

But....

"Tell him that the old man doesn't want to see him now..."

"Lord!" Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both spoke at the same time, but before they could say anything, they were directly interrupted by Liu Bei.

"The old man knows what you want to say... But now is not the time! ”

Liu Bei took a deep breath directly, and then his eyes became more serious for some reason.

"In this situation, we can't just wait... Kong Ming, I think you can see it. ”

“......”

"The old man calculated the majesty at the beginning, and now this is the revenge of the majesty!

The old man overestimated himself too much, and thought that he had seen through His Majesty's methods, but he never thought of it... Didn't expect... Huh...."

"My lord..."

"What Jiang Gan's purpose is, the old man knows, but the old man doesn't know how to face His Majesty's thoughts.

I don't know what to do now.

In that case, it's better to... Let's do it first! ”

“.....”

"Someone, go find out the news of Yide, see Yide... How's it going? ”

"No!"

"In addition, summon Wei Yan and tell Wei Yan that if he can, he will fully cooperate with Yide!"

"No!"

"Also, give the order to go down, and the army is ready..."

"My lord!" Zhuge Liang interrupted the other party's words again, "Now we can't act rashly, since General Yide has made a move."

Then I must have my own ideas..."

"But Yide's impulse..."

"General Yide was indeed impulsive back then, but now it is different.

Please also trust General Yide! ”

"......" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Kongming in front of him, he didn't know if he should continue to believe in them, but at this moment, he didn't have any other better ideas.

In the end, he just nodded silently.

"Good!"

.......

"Where are the crossbowmen? Shoot me! Shoot them! ”

At the junction of Runan and Nanyang County, Cao's army has now set up a very strong defensive line.

And the first person in charge of this line of defense, or the commander of this line of defense, is now the famous general of the Cao army in the Central Plains, Cao Ren!

The one who was Guan Yu from the Celestial General.... Cao Ren, who became an iron-armed general!

In front of them, there was the Jingzhou army that rushed to kill, and it was also the elite of the Jingzhou army.

once followed Guan Yu to shock Huaxia, and also broke out of the great reputation of the general Gao Xiang.

And the elite of the Cao army in the Central Plains looked at Gao Xiang and the soldiers under his command who rushed to kill without any fear.

It's just that he is constantly responding to the attacks of the Jingzhou army.

In the shouts of a school captain, arrows shot directly from Cao Jun's hands, forming a rain of arrows above Gao Xiang's head.

The rain of arrows fell suddenly, as if to take the lives of all the Jingzhou soldiers.

"Vertical shield! Top! ”

The majestic voice appeared in the ears of the Jingzhou army, and at the same time, a large number of shields were also pressed above their heads before the arrow rain fell.

The rain of arrows fell, but the casualties of the Jingzhou army were not too big...

The two sides fought each other back and forth, and no one had the slightest intention of backing down.

But as an attacking party, Gao Xiang failed to break through here, and failed to break into the enemy's formation, which was already half a failed attack.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, Gao Xiang's heart was so urgent at this time.

He wanted victory so badly!

Although Gao Xiang's reputation is far inferior to that of Guan and Zhang, there is no doubt that he is also a veteran who has been fighting in the army for many years, and there is also Liao Hua, who Zhang Fei is now specially transferring to him.

This is a veteran who has followed Guan Yu for many years, and he was born in the Liao family in Xiangyang, and his family learning ability is quite good.

In addition, such as Sun Wolf Hou Yin and others, these Nanyang veterans back then, or the fierce generals and ghosts around Guan Yu, have now been transferred to Gao Xiang's command.

It can be said that there are many talents!

Having them help Gao Xiang attack the land of Runan from Nanyang is the greatest help that Zhang Fei can do now.

But such a lineup has played like this, not to mention the hinterland of Runan, this time they were blocked from the gateway of Yuzhou without even seeing Cao Ren's face.

This kind of gap that cannot be described in words made Gao Xiang have to be sad and angry in his heart.

He really couldn't understand how he could become what he is now.

Why did you leave General Guan Yu, you can't even enter the gateway of Yuzhou....

Damn it!

At the same time, Deng Fang, the general on the other side, was not polite, this general, who was getting worse and worse, was now making the final glow for Liu Bei.

He didn't receive any orders from anyone, but Deng Fang knew that now that he was in the area of Xiangcheng, he was the only one who could contain Cao's army again.

In addition, he is brave and good at fighting, so even now his body can't hold on.

But still unswervingly walked out....

At this time, he was facing the fierce general who had participated in the Nanyang Armageddon, Xu Chu!

"How can this old guy be the same as Guan Yu back then, brave and good at fighting, and take the lead in every battle.

Even if the soldiers under his command have been defeated repeatedly, their morale is difficult to drop by half a point....

Under Liu Xuande's command, there are a lot of capable people! ”

Xu Chu looked at Deng Fang in front of him, spoke in a very appreciative tone, and then beheaded one of the deputy generals under Deng Fang...

By the way, he grabbed the rushing Shamoko, and then turned his hand to wipe the other party's neck.

If it weren't for Deng Fang's timely appearance and desperately stopping the other party.

This knife really took the Shamoko away directly.

At the same time, the army slaughtered and left, so that Deng Fang, who had just rushed into the army formation to save Shamoke, had to retreat first.

At this time, there were also many rookies and good generals under Deng Fang's command, such as Hu Bo, the younger brother of Hu Ji in Nanyang, who was just emerging now, and Liu Shi, the son of Liu Yong, who was born and died with Liu Bei...

In addition, there are many warriors that Shamoko has found from among the barbarians....

Although these people are good and bad, they are now considered to be generals in the army, and they still have some abilities.

Coupled with the unique way of leading troops that combines Deng Fang's bravery and Han barbarianism, it also made him soar all the way at the beginning.

It's just that all of this has become a joke.....

"With Lu Qian as the main general, he went to Lushan to attack Gao Xiang, and commanded the military division Du Xian, commanding 8,000 troops, with Bao Shao as the deputy general, and Guo Dan and others as partial generals."

"With Jia Kui as the main general, full of favor as the army, and Niu Jin as the deputy general, send troops to Rushui to attack the thief Gao Xiang and others!"

"Order Liu Bao, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, to collect the Huns and cavalry 10,000 people, attack the north around the outside of the fortress, and sweep away the bandit Elfang!"

"Order Yan Rou of Youzhou, Xian Yufu and others to immediately rectify thousands of Wuhuan elite horses, go straight to Guanzhong, and support Yanling Marquis Cao Zhang!"

When Jingzhou began to resist vigorously, the soldiers and horses on the other side also began to attack.

The Cao clan finally began to mobilize troops and horses intensively, and Liu Xie showed a cruel smile to these people.

"It seems that the Cao family has begun.... Since Liu Bei doesn't plan to be obedient... Then let him disappear! ”

........

The Cao clan's orders were directly transmitted, and countless generals were mobilized.

Among them, there is now the first general of the Cao clan, Cao Ren, who thinks he can keep pace with Xiahoudun.

There are also those directly from the supreme commander of the Cao army, Cao Ang, the king of Wei in the Han Dynasty.

There are also the hands of commanders from all sides.

These orders directly caused Gao Xiang and Deng Fang, who had just rushed out, to be hit head-on.

Gao Xiang still has contacts and contacts, there are enough soldiers and horses under his command, and his style of play is not so aggressive.

In addition, although Lu Qian Du Xi and others are all good generals for a while, they are old and cautious after all.

It's just that Gao Xiang can't find any loopholes, and it's okay to protect himself.

But Deng Fang on the other side is really dangerous, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu Chu are really more explosive than one another.

From the very beginning of the great war between the two sides, it entered an extremely dangerous situation.

At first, there were back-and-forth between the two sides, but then Guo Jia was the kind of person who was good at finding opportunities in desperate situations.

The toughness of his soldiers is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers and horses.

The Tiger Guards and the brand-new Tiger and Leopard Riders are not to be underestimated.

As the fighting continued, these people began to enter the battlefield in earnest.

The soldiers and horses under Deng Fang's command had slowly begun to hold on.

The deputy general Shamoke even wanted to lead his troops to attack around the rear at the most critical moment of the fight, wanting to help Deng Fang break the situation here.

It's just that what Shamoke didn't expect was that he was obviously the first to react, but he was directly stopped by Xu Chu at a critical moment.

This time, without Deng Fang coming to him, under the wielding of the long knife, the barbarian little king Shamoke died so tragically here....

Even to death, his eyes were staring at the sky, as if he wanted to question the sky what was going on...

The next thing is much simpler for Cheng Yu.

After Xu Chu killed the other party, Cheng Yu immediately ordered the army to kill all of them, and then let them go straight to... Deng Fang is gone!

The place where Deng Fang defended was originally the kind of place where there was no danger to defend, and after taking the initiative to attack, he was also ready to fight to the death.

After Shamoke died in battle, Deng Fang also knew that he had no chance, and Deng Fang, who had not had much time, glanced at the soldiers behind him with some guilt.

And then....

"Kill it!"

With Deng Fang's roar, the two sides collided again, but unfortunately this time the barbarians under Deng Fang's command were brave.

But in the end, it is still inferior to the opponents of the Tiger Guards and the Tiger and Leopard Riders.

After a short fight, Deng Fang's soldiers and horses completely collapsed, and Deng Fang himself bumped into Xu Chu who rushed over again.

Xu Chu, who roared angrily, the long knife in his hand was stained with blood again, and he directly killed Deng Fang on the spot...

As for the many other generals and colonels, many soldiers and horses... It's like a joke.

"Kill them all... The scout has already received news, and Zhang Fei and Guan Ping are coming over soon.

But think about it... Now Liu Bei's command can still make a move, I'm afraid that the only thing that can be done is Guan Yu's old department in Guan Ping's hands, and the Qianghu soldiers and horses under Zhang Fei's command.

This Deng Fang wants to buy time for them, so give them this opportunity..."

Cheng Yu's words slowly spread into the ears of the others, and suddenly all the Cao Jun generals around him showed a hideous smile.

Seems.... They saw something great about hope.

"Kill them all!"

"Kill!"

After a stick of incense, the battle here finally ended with none of Deng Fang's survival...
