Yuan Xi's head was buzzing when he saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei in front and Liu Bei behind.
Although Liu Bei was beaten by Cao Cao and Lu Bu in the following years, and he once defected to Yuan Shao, the only ones who could beat him were Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
Now that we don't have as many soldiers as the opponent, why should we close down the formation and take the lead to win?
Not to mention winning, even if you run, you may not be able to escape!
Seeing that the opponent had already set up a battle formation, Yuan Xi knew that he would not be able to do anything unless he took action.
He climbed onto the broken city wall and shouted to Liu Bei in the distance: "Is this Mr. Xuande coming?"
"Did Duke Xuande come to kill Duke Cao and his family on orders from Tao Zhou Mu?"
Before the battle, Zhang Fei yelled and cursed: "Where did this ignorant kid come from, farting here!"
Yuan Xi shouted: "Father Yuan Benchu!"
"Zhang Kai, the captain of Taozhou Mu, instigated the soldiers to kill Cao Song's family. In order to cover up others' deception, he also wanted to kill the people of Xuzhou who were taking refuge there!"
"I will put an end to his evil deeds and kill Zhang Kai!"
"Everyone in the city can testify to what I say!"
Zhang Fei hesitated after hearing this and muttered to Guan Yu beside him: "Yuan Shao's son, second brother, what should we do now?"
Guan Yu looked back at Liu Bei. Zhang Fei understood and said happily: "Listen to big brother!"
Liu Bei returned the two swords in his hands to their scabbards and stepped forward on horseback. When passing by Guan and Zhang, Guan Yu said: "Brother, be careful, beware of sneak attacks from the other side."
Liu Bei nodded slightly, rode his horse to the place where he could shoot, clasped his fists at Yuan Xi on the city wall and said, "Liu Xuande, I wonder which young master of Yuan Zhoumu is on the city wall?"
Yuan Xi stood up straight and stuck out his head: "I, Yuan Xianyi, have met Mr. Xuande."
Liu Bei nodded and said, "I am here to escort Duke Cao back to his hometown. Logically speaking, since the young master has already greeted Duke Cao first, I should have retreated."
"But I don't know if Master Cao can really send Master Cao back safely, so please send Master Cao out and let us escort him, okay?"
Yuan Xi naturally knew that Liu Bei wanted to detain Cao Song and negotiate terms with Cao Cao, but if he sent Cao Song away, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
He immediately said: "Having learned from Zhang Kai's mistakes, I forgive you for not daring to obey your orders."
Zhang Fei shouted: "In that case, let's decide the winner!"
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei, who muttered and closed his mouth.
Liu Bei said: "I should have sent troops to attack, but there are still people in the city, so there will inevitably be some casualties."
"If that's not the case, you and I will have a game, and the winner will take away Duke Cao. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Xi secretly complained in his heart.
He looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with confident expressions on their faces, clearly having great confidence in Liu Bei.
It’s no wonder that Liu Bei’s initial reputation was not based on his birthplace, but on his own abilities.
"Dian Lue" records: "Pingyuan Liu Ziping knew that (Liu) Bei was brave."
"Three Kingdoms": "Liu Bei is the hero in the world and is feared in his entire life." The word "xiong" here means brave.
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao: "(Liu) Bei was brave and ambitious, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei served as his wings."
Being brave in front of ambition shows that Liu Bei's reputation was built by himself!
Among the five major swordsmanships of later generations, Liu Bei's Gu Yingfa is on the list and can be regarded as the founder of the sect.
To deal with people like Liu Bei, Yuan Xi had a good idea before going out to challenge him.
He forced a smile and said: "Mr. Xuande is the pillar of the country, and my father also appreciates him very much."
"How dare you use weapons rashly? How will you explain to your father if you hurt your husband?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help shouting: "You have such a loud tone, your brother Yuan Tan doesn't even dare to say that!"
"During the battle in the plains, was he still beaten by his brother and fled into the battle?"
Yuan Xi was startled. Has Yuan Tan ever suffered a loss?
But Yuan Tan is quite capable if he can come back alive from Liu Bei's hands.
He chuckled while thinking about how to delay time. The longer the delay, the more variables there would be.
Maybe Cao Cao's army is nearby and sees something happening in Fei County. If they come over, Liu Bei will retreat without a fight.
After hearing this, Liu Bei raised his riding whip, pointed at Yuan Xi and said: "I will give you half a moment. If you fail to make a decision, I will attack the city!"
Yuan Xi thought to himself, Liu Bei is not sloppy in his work. The city wall in Feixian County is only one foot high, and there are gaps everywhere. If Guan Zhang rushes in, his side will be one-sided.
Time passed by, and Yuan Xi could not think of a way to break the situation. At this time, his eyes narrowed and he saw two plumes of thick smoke rising from the hillside in the distance and rising straight into the sky.
He took out his telescope and looked over, and he was overjoyed.
Guan Yu also saw a fire on the hillside in the distance. He rode his horse to Liu Bei and said: "Brother, there is a warning signal on the hillside. People will definitely see it after a long time. You can't stay here for a long time!"
After Liu Bei heard this, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Attack the city immediately!"
Yuan Xi shouted at the top of the city: "Mr. Xuande!"
"Our army's five thousand reinforcements are on the way!"
"I advise Mr. Xuande to leave quickly, lest he won't be able to leave again!"
Liu Bei heard this and shouted to everyone: "This is a lie, an attempt to demoralize our army!"
"Everyone, follow me and quickly attack the city and capture it!"
The soldiers responded in unison and rushed towards the gaps.
On the hillside in the distance, Qu Yi handed the telescope to Gao Lan and said, "Choose for yourself."
"Those three people should have heard that they followed Tian Kai to deal with Mr. Yuan."
"The Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Xuande in the middle used to be a straw shoe weaver."
"The red-faced guy next to me is a date seller."
"That black face is a pig butcher."
"You can choose as you like. As long as you defeat one, you can return to Yecheng."
"If you can capture one alive, Master can still recommend you."
Gao Lan held up his telescope and looked at Liu, Guan, and Zhang who were attacking the city in the distance, and sneered: "If what you said is true, don't you look down on me too much?"
"Although my injury has not healed yet, I am still a general in Jizhou!"
"Let me deal with a pig butcher?"
Qu Yi glanced at the indifferent look, "Young master said, any one will do. The opponent is a pig. Even if you win, he can fulfill his promise."
"But remember to cover your face before going out, so as not to be recognized by Zhang He in the city."
Gao Lan covered his face, got on his horse, and said loudly: "Give me a quarter of an hour, and watch me kill the red-faced and black-faced people under the horse!"
Qu Yi saw Gao Lan charging out with a gun and rushing down the hillside. He shouted: "Be careful!"
He thought to himself that this child was still young and energetic.
Qu Yi has become much more honest since he suffered a secret loss from Zhao Yun last time.
He felt that the stargazing method that the young master boasted about when he changed his identity was not necessarily groundless!
Otherwise, how would he know that the unknown Zhao Yun was so powerful?
This time Qu Yi went to visit Gao Lan. Before departure, Yuan Xi specially told Qu Yi to choose from Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Qu Yi thought to himself that Liu Bei was Prime Minister Pingyuan, but he knew that Guan and Zhang were his two personal soldiers. Is it difficult to fight these three?
He was full of doubts, but Qu Yi knew that Yuan Xi definitely did not choose these three people for no reason. Yuan Xi was a very bad person!
He raised his telescope, and in the mirror, Gao Lan was riding his horse quickly, rushing towards Zhang Fei.
