Chapter 503
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and tried his best to move forward.
The pain between the intercostals is getting more and more painful, and even inhaling will pull the wound, let alone running. Since his debut, except for a limited number of times, he has almost never been hiking, even a horse will have one. Now he has injuries but has to walk, which makes him unable to bear. His legs are as heavy as lead, but his lungs are as painful as a knife, and his breath is getting faster and faster.
Zhang Fei handed the spear to his left hand, pulled Liu Bei's arm with his right hand, and put it on his shoulder. Liu Bei wanted to refuse, but he couldn't hold on anymore, so he could only whisper: "Yide, thank you."
"Mr. Fu, are you hungry and have no strength?"
"Stop calling my husband the Lord. I am now a military marquis." Liu Bei gasped and sweated like rain. "I was hit by the spear of the scoundrel around my waist, and I was afraid that my ribs would be broken and I could not move."
Zhang Fei said oh, and then he realized that Liu Bei was injured. Before that, Liu Bei was just slower and could not see that he was injured. He was also very annoyed when he thought of that encounter. He turned around and did not see Mi Fang, but only Chen Dao. From this, it can be seen that Mi Fang was not even Sun Ce's guard knight, but just an ordinary guard cavalry general, and his martial arts skills were not as good as Chen Dao. He was defeated by an unknown person, which was really annoying.
"I'll give up this plan sooner or later." Zhang Fei cursed in a low voice.
"It's not good for you." Liu Bei's face changed drastically. "Yunchang was seriously injured and it was difficult to move. It angered Sun Ce. How could he take his anger on Yunchang?"
When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu's name, he did not dare to be arrogant anymore. Guan Yu followed the main force and said that he was recuperating his wounds, but in fact he was a hostage. Jian Yong was also among them. The four of them were divided into two places. It was clearly Sun Ce who made this arrangement on purpose, so that they could not act rashly.
"I'll carry you." Seeing that Liu Bei was sweating coldly and even his battle robe was wet, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and squatted in front of Liu Bei. Liu Bei refused. Zhang Fei was very strong, but after all, he was a man. After all, he was marching with someone on his back. No one knew how long it would take to go. If he met an enemy, he would not have the strength to fight, which would be even more dangerous.
Seeing that Liu Bei refused, Zhang Fei became even more annoyed. Sun Ce asked for more than 100 powerful crossbowmen from King Chen, each equipped with a war horse, but refused to give Liu Bei a horse. It was really too much to deceive people. There were more than 20 horses in it that were snatched from them. In addition to the war horses, he also snatched nearly 100 of their cows that transported their supplies. They had nothing except their own armor and weapons.
Zhang Fei became more angry as he thought about it. He asked Liu Bei to hold the tree and rest for a while. He came to Sun Ce angrily with a spear, spread his arms and blocked Sun Ce's way. Sun Ce held his mount and looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
"I..." The words of shouting came to your mouth. Zhang Fei remembered Liu Bei's reminder again and swallowed it back. "I want a horse."
Sun Ce refused. "The military marquis has no horse."
"The injured should have a horse."
"Is Xuande injured?" Sun Ce turned around and looked at Liu Bei not far away. Liu Bei was originally holding the tree, but when he saw Sun Ce turn around, he immediately leaned against the tree and sat down, looking like he was about to die. When Sun Ce saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief. "When did he get injured?"
Zhang Fei felt very embarrassed and refused to say that he was injured by Mi Fang. He gritted his teeth, fell to the ground, and kowtowed twice.
"Please be kind to the general."
Sun Ce was very surprised. Kowtow was a big gift, and it was not necessary to pay solemnity to pay homage to the emperor. It seemed that Liu Bei was very injured, and Zhang Fei was really anxious. He thought about it and ordered someone to bring a horse and hand it to Zhang Fei. "This horse is for Xuande to ride. If you have the opportunity to fight with the enemy later, you can take it. If you can take the war horse, you can ride it in the future."
"Okay!" Zhang Fei got up, and didn't thank him, and took the horse away. Xu Chu was furious and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Sun Ce. "Forget it, although he is stubborn, he is a righteous man, so it should not be too humiliating."
Xu Chu snorted and stopped.
Zhang Fei led the horse to Liu Bei and helped Liu Bei on the horse. Liu Bei sat on the horse's back, hugged the horse's neck, and breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped on the horse's back, and he found a bit of familiarity and barely felt a little safe.
"Thank you Yide."
Zhang Fei didn't say anything, holding a spear in one hand and holding a horse in the other, rushing to the road.
——
Chiting.
Jiang Qi looked at the deserter kneeling in front of the horse and felt a little uneasy.
Sun Ce had defeated Liu Bei's troops and won a great victory, which was beyond his expectations. The deserter was pulled out of the tent in the middle of the night, and became a prisoner in a daze. He didn't know the specific situation, but only knew that Liu Bei surrendered. The battle was short, and Sun Ce had almost no losses. Now Sun Ce let go of the captured Dongjun soldiers and only took their troops to the east. The deserter was not sure where they went.
This is another accident. What does Sun Ce want to do?
Jiang Qi waved his hand and signaled to let the deserters go. They didn't even have weapons or armor, so it was useless to bring them with them. Instead, they had to supply their food. They were touched into the tent in the middle of the night. What soldiers did Liu Bei bring? Jiang Qi felt contempt and had no good feelings for these Dongjun soldiers. He asked the vanguard captain Zhang Nan and Jiao Tu to strengthen their vigilance, sent more scouts to inquire about Sun Ce's movements, and he stopped and camped for rest.
He came from Liyang and marched for more than 300 miles in a row. He needed rest and even more. He needed to explore the terrain and understand the surrounding situation. Yuan Tan asked him to pick up Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei has surrendered, should he continue to pursue or turn to Junyi and move closer to Yuan Tan, he also needed to ask Yuan Tan for instructions before making a decision.
He was ordered by Yuan Shao to reinforce Yuan Tan, but he was not clear about the matter between the father and son. Some people said that Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tan to Yanzhou to pay attention to Yuan Tan and focused on cultivating him. Some people said that Yuan Shao rejected Yuan Tan. The history of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years shows that the crown prince is not the heir. It is common for the prince to be deposed. This is a chronic disease of the royal family. Although the Yuan family has not yet proclaimed emperor, it is a matter of time sooner or later. Yuan Shao is not old, but Yuan Tan is already older, and it is normal for father and son to be jealous of each other.
Both statements make sense, and there is no consensus. For him, it is difficult to grasp the scale of whether he should listen to Yuan Tan's orders and how much he hears it. When this situation is unclear, it is always not harmful to ask for instructions.
Before the camp was established, Xinpi rushed to Jiang Qi's camp. He came to meet with Jiang Qi on the order of Yuan Tan to assist Jiang Qi in the battle, and was very puzzled by Jiang Qi's stop. When he learned that Liu Bei's entire army had been wiped out and had surrendered to Sun Ce, he was shocked.
"Is this news accurate?"
Jiang Qi said it was very accurate that he had received similar news from different deserters.
