Chapter 83 Like-minded, Kong Rong praised Liu Bei

"Hit the mark!"

Zhang Rao looked at the fire baskets thrown down from both sides of the valley in horror.

In this dark night, the vision was affected, and the firelight was together, and the yellow turban thieves couldn't tell the road in front of them and behind them.

Coupled with the smoke that gradually ignited, it was even more blinding.

A group of yellow turban thieves screamed and scurried in the valley.

However, the battlefield is ruthless, and fire and water are even more ruthless.

This is a life-and-death situation, whether it is Guan Yu or Ying Xun, no one dares to have the slightest mercy on the battlefield.

I saw the fire starting.

The county soldiers who were lying in ambush on both sides began to shout in unison.

"On the orders of Xuande Gong, thank the God of Fire!"

"On the orders of Xuande Gong, thank the God of Fire!"

"On the orders of Xuande Gong, thank the God of Fire!"

“.”

The shouts of the two thousand soldiers in unison were loud enough to reach the valley.

Zhang Rao also knows some strategies, but for ordinary yellow scarves, the god of fire is more deterrent than so-and-so!

In the way of the other, give back to the other.

Although pretending to be a ghost cannot hide from a wise person, it can deceive a fool.

The yellow turbans in the valley had been burned by the fire and fled in all directions, and at this time they heard "Thank you to the god of fire!" They all thought they had offended the heavens, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Moment.

In the darkness of the night, a hideous lightning bolt suddenly flashed, followed by a roar.

Although Guan Yu and Ying Xun had already been instructed by Zheng Ping, they were still shocked when they saw lightning and thunder at this time.

"Zheng Xianmou in Beihai, can you even predict when there will be thunder and rain?"

"It's terrifying to have such a ghostly power!"

Ying Xun subconsciously, there was a little more panic in his heart.

However, Ying Xun's panic is actually a bit superfluous.

Zheng Ping lives in Qingzhou, and ten years ago he used the manpower of the Zheng family to observe and record the weather in Qingzhou.

He also studied a large number of ancient books on celestial predictions, and even studied the art of divination.

Even so, Zheng Ping could only roughly predict some obvious changes in the sky, such as rain in three days.

And when it will rain tonight, Zheng Ping can't predict.

For this reason, Zheng Ping also specially left Tai Shici in the camp, that is, to avoid this rainy time before the fire plan succeeded.

But Zheng Ping will not tell everyone about these risk prevention.

As a strategist who gives advice, he must be calm and unrevealed, and he can secretly check and balance without saying anything, so that people can feel unpredictable.

This is true of the people who do their best and obey the destiny of heaven.

There are many luck and coincidences in the victory of this world.

For example, the great magician Liu Xiu, Zhang Jiao, who deceived believers by thunder and rain, and Zhou Lang, who was favored by Dongfeng, and so on.

After stabilizing his mind, Ying Xun put away the panic in his heart and began to organize the county soldiers to shout.

"On the order of Xuande Gong, please ask Lei Gong to rain and save the people!"

And Guan Yu on the opposite side, the same!

Soon, the shouts of the county soldiers rang out on both sides of the valley.

"On the order of Xuande Gong, please ask Lei Gong to rain and save the people!"

"On the order of Xuande Gong, please ask Lei Gong to rain and save the people!"

"On the order of Xuande Gong, please ask Lei Gong to rain and save the people!"

And in the valley, the Yellow Turban thieves, who had already been burned by the fire, also echoed one by one.

In a moment.

I could only hear the rain falling from the night sky, and the fires in the valley were gradually extinguished.

However, the appearance of this rain made the Yellow Turban thieves in the valley even more frightened.

Please "Vulcan" again, and invite "Lei Gong" again, can such officers and soldiers still resist?

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Zhang Rao's hair was burned in half, and he sat on the ground with a mutter, letting the rain wash away.

can ask the god of fire to lower the fire, can ask Lei Gong to rain, such Liu Bei, who can resist?

"No wonder before Yide went to Youzhou, let Guan Mou not offend Mr. Xianmou, this scheming is too much" Guan Yu wanted to say the word "dirty", but he felt that it was inappropriate.

If he hadn't known Zheng Ping's deployment in advance, Guan Yu would probably have been frightened by the scene of inviting the "God of Fire" and "Lei Gong".

This is too good to bluff people!

Almost subconsciously, Guan Yu thought of the first time he met Zheng Ping.

In the face of the defeated county soldiers, he calmly falsely claimed to be a thief and captain, and he killed the county soldiers who wanted to escape without hesitation, which was obviously fake, but it gave people a feeling that it was more real than the real thing!

Although the rain was not heavy, it fell in the middle of the night.

Hesitating, Guan Yu and Ying Xun had already blocked the valley, and it was difficult for the Yellow Turban thieves to escape from the valley, so they could only let the rain rain for most of the night.

Cold, hungry and sleepy, and then smoky by fire, including Zhang Rao, these Yellow Turban thieves truly experienced the ruthlessness of fire and water.

Guan Yu and Ying Xun prepared rain gear and a place to shelter from the rain in advance, although they were a little embarrassed, but they were much more comfortable than the yellow scarves in the valley.

By dawn, the rain was receding.

Guan Yu and Ying Xun returned to the valley again.

The Yellow Turban thieves had long lost their will to fight, and only Zhang Rao and his guards were still trying to struggle.

Seeing Guan Yu and Ying Xun coming, Zhang Rao was shocked and angry.

"Thief, dare to claim to be a god!"

Zhang Rao, who thought about it all night, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

If this Lei Gong was really invited by Liu Bei, why did the rain stop until now?

It wasn't until Guan Yu and Ying Xun arrived with the county soldiers who were also drenched in the rain that Zhang Rao figured it out.

What please "Vulcan", please "Lei Gong", it's all Guan Yu and Ying Xun who are bluffing people here!

Guan Yu snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Ying Xun laughed: "As long as you yellow turbans falsely claim to be gods, don't allow our officers and soldiers to falsely claim gods?" Give you a chance, cut yourself! ”

Commit suicide?

Zhang Rao doesn't want to cut himself!

He still has more than 10,000 young and strong yellow scarves and more than 100,000 old and weak women and children under the drama city, why should he cut himself?

"Stubborn!"

Guan Yu saw Zhang Rao's intention, and directly bullied him, raised his knife and slashed directly at Zhang Rao.

Zhang Rao wanted to resist, but how could he block Guan Yu's blade?

With this knife, half of Zhang Rao's body was gone.

After Guan Yu brought back Zhang Rao's head and the Yellow Turban Descendant, Liu Bei in the camp took a long breath.

Last night frightened Liu Bei a lot.

It rained in the middle of the night, and Guan Yu and Ying Xun did not return for a long time, nor did they scout report the battle situation.

If it weren't for Zheng Ping playing chess all night, Liu Bei would have wanted to personally lead the troops to the valley.

"Cloud Chief!"

Liu Bei walked forward, caught Guan Yu, and looked at Guan Yu carefully, and saw that he had no signs of injury, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu also saw Liu Bei's worries, and hurriedly said: "Let my brother worry, it's the foolish brother who is not thoughtful." The night rain came suddenly, and the foolish brother was worried that Zhang Rao would take the opportunity to escape, so he only cared about guarding the mountain pass and forgot to send a message to his brother. ”

"Chief Yun, let's report the specific battle situation first." Zheng Ping was calm overnight.

If the night rain causes the strategy to fail, Guan Yu and Ying Xun will return to the camp early.

If you don't go back, it proves that the strategy has been successful, and you don't have to worry about it.

It's just that Liu Bei was really worried, so he played chess with Liu Bei to relieve Liu Bei's worries.

Guan Yu nodded, and reported the specific battle situation of the ambush in the valley to Liu Bei and Zheng Ping in 1510.

Hearing the time of the fire and the time of the rain, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Fortunately, God is beautiful, so that Zhang Rao can be killed in a battle." ”

Zheng Ping pondered for a while, and suggested: "Fu Jun, the Yellow Turban thieves have lost their courage, you can put this group of Yellow Turban thieves back to disrupt the morale of the rest of the Yellow Turbans." ”

"Next, it's time for negotiations!"

Liu Bei's purpose is not to completely annihilate these more than 100,000 yellow scarves, but to let these more than 100,000 yellow scarves return to the countryside again.

Kill Zhang Rao, let the Yellow Turban lose his heart, the initiative lies with Liu Bei, whether it is war or peace, it all depends on Liu Bei's thoughts.

Zhang Rao died in battle, Liu Bei would "please God", this exciting news began to spread among the Yellow Turban thieves, and it also caused panic among the Yellow Turban thieves.

"Even Zhang Qushuai is dead, who can defeat Liu Bei?"

"You didn't see it, last night it was the God of Fire who came to the world, and it was the Lord of Lei who came to the world, I was surprised that I could survive."

"This Liu Bei, is it the reincarnation of General Tiangong? How can you ask for the magic of the gods? ”

"I heard that Xuande Gong has always been benevolent, could it be that he is really the reincarnation of a great sage and good teacher?"

"I don't care about anyone's reincarnation, I only care, this grain is in Liu Bei's hands, can he take care of our food?"

"Several Qu Shuai are discussing, saying that Liu Bei has the heart to negotiate with us."

"Peace talks? We are thieves and he is officials, how can we negotiate peace? ”

"This is not something that we villains can understand, but if we can manage the food, peace talks are actually good."

"Does Liu Bei only take care of our food, or does he even take care of our wife, children and parents?"

"It's good to have something to eat, don't think too much!"

“.”

The Yellow Turbans were all talking, although they were all frightened of Liu Bei's "please God" technique at the beginning, but in the back, more Yellow Turban thieves only cared about whether Liu Bei could take care of food!

And under the drama city.

Because Zhang Rao died suddenly, the remaining Yellow Turban thieves hurriedly gathered together to discuss peace talks with Liu Bei.

"Officers and soldiers can't be trusted, and if you make peace with officers and soldiers, isn't that looking for death?" The thief was the first to express his opposition from the money.

Another thief marshal Wang Ying also echoed: "Since Zhang Rao is dead, we will recommend a new Qu Shuai, we have more than 100,000 people, what officers and soldiers are you afraid of?" ”

"Even if Liu Bei can ask for divine skills, can he kill all of our more than 100,000 people?"

"I recommend Guo Zu as the new Qu Shuai!"

Guo Zu is a scar-faced man with a vicious face, and he used to be a bandit leader, but later chose to cling to Zhang Rao because of Zhang Rao's power.

Now that Zhang Rao is dead, Guo Zu is the most capable and ruthless of the remaining Yellow Turban thieves.

"Guo Shuai is Qu Shuai, I have no opinion. But now we have no food, and we can't beat Liu Bei's. Another thief spoke.

Guo Zu snorted coldly: "Who said to fight?" We went to Le'an to attach ourselves to Xu and Qu Shuai, and Xu and Qu Shuai occupied several cities, which were enough to shelter us. ”

"As for those in this drama city, those who are willing to follow, follow us to Le'anguo, and those who don't want to follow will stay in this drama city and ask that Liu Bei for food."

Wang Ying said in a condensed voice: "If you want to go to Le'anguo, you can't take the old and weak women and children, otherwise Liu Bei will lead the troops to chase after us, and we won't be able to go far at all." ”

"What's more, with the old and weak women and children, how can we kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions under the command of Xu Hequ Shuai?"

These people are essentially from the bandit leaders, and they are different from Zhang Jiao's group of yellow turban commanders.

The people are old and weak, and they are used to make up the numbers.

When it can be used, it will drive troops to attack the city, and when it cannot be used, it can be discarded at any time.

Bring the people to Le'an country?

Think you didn't die fast enough?

Soon.

Guo Zu and the others had already reached an opinion, leaving only a few thieves who wanted to stay to negotiate peace with Liu Bei, delaying time by the way.

The rest of the thieves, such as Guo Zu, Wang Ying, Congqian and other thieves, took their cronies and the old and weak yellow turbans who were willing to follow, and fled to Le'an Kingdom.

By the time Liu Bei got the news, Guo Zu and the others had already fled away.

"It's better to escape, so that when you settle the people, there will be thieves to make trouble." Zheng Ping didn't care about Guo Zu and the others who fled.

It can not only reduce the trouble of relocating the people, but also increase the trouble of Jiaohe, so why not?

Liu Bei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there is no need to continue to increase the damage, the next thing is to pacify.

Knowing that the thieves had retreated, the officials and people of the drama city were relieved.

Kong Rong is even more pro-handsome in the drama city, and went out of the city to greet Liu Bei.

Although he had long heard that Zheng Ping praised Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and faithfulness, Kong Rong met Liu Bei for the first time.

Seeing that Liu Bei was extraordinary and heroic, Kong Rong couldn't help but secretly marvel.

"I have heard for a long time that the plain is anxious and righteous, and today the drama city can not be abused by thieves and soldiers, all of which are the work of Liu Xiang!" Kong Rong dismounted and bowed to Liu Bei to express his gratitude.

Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to Kong Rong, and solemnly returned to salute: "Wenju Gong is in trouble, he is just a contemptuous husband in Zhuo County, and he should not be given a big gift by Wenju Gong." ”

"Wen Jugong is older, just call the word Xuande in the following table!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was so humble, Kong Rong had a better impression of Liu Bei, and insisted on worshipping: "Then the old man will hold a big one and call Xuande with a cheeky face." ”

"Heroes no matter their background, not to mention that Xuande is not a layman, today he saves Beihai and deserves to be worshiped by the old man!"

After a while, Liu Bei introduced: "Wen Jugong, this is Ying Xun, the younger brother of Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, and the word Ji Yu." This time, he was able to kill the thief Shou Zhang Rao, thanks to Ying Fujun borrowing 2,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Kong Rong hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Taishan Ying Zhongyuan is extraordinary, and the old man has heard of it for a long time, and he can't wait to see it." His old man will definitely come to visit him to thank the prince for his kindness today. ”

Ying Xun also hurriedly returned the salute.

Kong Rong's gaze fell to Zheng Ping on the side again, thinking of Zheng Ping's assertion in the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xianmou, although the old man thinks that he is diligent in political affairs, he has governed Beihai Country in a mess, and he feels ashamed." ”

"If it weren't for your old advice, the old man probably wouldn't have been able to support the arrival of reinforcements."

Kong Rong is talented, but his talent is not in governing the state and county, this is the wrong position for good talent.

But compared to talent, Zheng Ping admires Kong Rong's loyalty to the Han more.

Knowing that King Qin's matter was difficult, Kong Rong still wanted to save Liu Xie, the young emperor of Chang'an.

The interests can tie the Haoqiang clan in Qingzhou to Liu Bei, but only the same ambition can make Liu Bei have more companions on the road of the world.
