Chapter 566 Yuan Benchu, you are a complete coward
Failure to eat Gongsun Zan before Liu Bei arrived was Yuan Shao's biggest mistake. He himself thought so. As for the defeat of the Xianbei cavalry, Yuan Shao believed that the two idiots Su Li and Mika were stupid.
If they don't have the strength but want to show off, then we can only let them accept the cruel reality.
Still want to ask how many more counties I want?
It's okay now, my life is gone.
Yuan Shao thought these two bastards were funny, but when he saw Liu Bei's army with his own eyes, he suddenly felt that Su Li and Mika were not as stupid as he thought.
At best, it's a bit weak.
Really, compared with the all-armored army led by Liu Bei, including Yuan Benchu, Mika and Suli, it was really a bit weak.
At least, they can't guarantee that even the "cannon fodder" who fight in front-line combat are fully armed to the teeth. Actually, these cannon fodder have armor and sophisticated equipment, and the array on the battlefield is very neat. You can see hundreds of battles at a glance.
Elite appearance.
Suli and Mika were defeated by such an army until they were completely annihilated?
Tian Feng looked at the powerful regiment he saw in front of him in shock. He felt that his impression of the army would change for a long time.
He had never thought that the army could be so orderly and terrifying. In his eyes, the soldiers were just a group of hungry beasts, and the word "elite" always belonged to a small number of people.
Only a few people around Yuan Shao could have such sophisticated armor.
But when so many soldiers with the word "elite" written on their bodies stood neatly in front of him and remained silent without saying a word, Tian Feng felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.
He looked around, and from the eyes of the people around him, he could see that this fear was not unique to him.
"General, Thief Liu's army is very elite, we must be careful."
Qu Yi, who was in charge of front-line combat operations, saw Liu Bei's army and looked very ugly. He suggested to Yuan Shao that the commander should retreat a little, preferably to a safer position suitable for escape.
Otherwise, he felt that when the former army collapsed, Yuan Shao would not have time to escape.
When he was defeated and fled back to the camp, Yuan Shao did not blame him again. In other words, the news that Suli and Mika's entire army was annihilated had actually shocked Yuan Shao, making Yuan Shao understand that Qu Yi did not defeat on purpose.
It's really unbeatable.
So he did not blame Qu Yi, but once again placed him on the front line and asked him to lead the infantry formation to attack Liu Bei's infantry formation. Then he arranged for his generals Han Meng and Lu Xiang to lead the cavalry to attack Liu Bei's formation.
On the left wing, arrange for generals Zhang Nan and Jiao Hu to lead a cavalry unit to attack the right wing of Liu Bei's army.
In addition, he arranged for his general Lu Kuang to continue to lead troops to surround Zhuoxian County, attack and suppress Gongsun Zan, and try not to let Gongsun Zan successfully leave the city to join Liu Bei, creating a situation of two-sided attack.
He himself stayed with Tian Feng and commanded the most elite part of the Chinese army. As the last person who could win the battle on the battlefield, he would use himself as the general of the Chinese army. When necessary, he would personally command the army to attack and fight Liu Bei to the death.
Tian Feng objected to this.
"As the commander of the entire army, you should not risk doing such a thing. Please leave the central army to me to command. You can lead the rear army to suppress the battle. In critical moments, you can also withdraw from the battlefield and join Wuhuan in order to revive the flag.
drum."
Yuan Shao shook his head.
"How can a man abandon his army and run away when faced with such a dangerous situation? If I abandon the army, how can the army fight to the death for me? You see, Liu Bei's commander is among his troops. He is not afraid of danger. I
How can we be afraid of danger?"
Tian Feng shook his head.
"Liu Bei's army is very elite. He is under absolutely safe protection. It is difficult for our troops to threaten his central army. But the general is different. This is a very dangerous thing. If the general is attacked, it will have a negative impact on the morale of the army."
It’s a serious blow!”
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng helplessly.
It’s already this time, and you’re still saying such heart-wrenching words?
Tian Feng didn't seem to realize how heartbreaking his words were, or maybe he did, but he didn't have such thoughts. The tense battlefield had made this man with no emotional intelligence give up his emotional intelligence.
At this tense moment, a flag-bearing cavalry suddenly ran out from Liu Bei's army formation on the opposite side and approached Yuan Shao's army formation on horseback.
He brought news about Liu Bei.
Liu Bei wanted to set up a table in the middle of the two armies' formations, get a pot of wine, and have a drink with Yuan Shao to talk about old times.
After Yuan Shao got the news, he frowned.
"What does Liu Bei want to do?"
"Delaying time? There's no need for that, right?"
Tian Feng also frowned: "He may have some conspiracy, general, don't go."
"Humph, I don't believe he can have any conspiracy!"
Yuan Shao said coldly: "He invited me. If I don't go, wouldn't I be afraid of him? Even if Yuan Benchu is at the end of his rope, he will never be afraid of him!"
With that said, Yuan Shao sent someone to send a message back to Liu Bei, saying that he was willing to accept Liu Bei's invitation to have a drink and reminisce about the past.
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Shao, escorted by his general Su You, arrived at the place where Liu Bei invited him. He saw Liu Bei sitting on his seat with a smile and extending his hand to invite him to sit down.
Standing next to him was a handsome young man in white robes, staring covetously at Yuan Shao.
After Yuan Shao sat down, Su You stood aside and stared at Zhao Yun eagerly, unwilling to be outdone.
"Liu, why did you invite me here just for a drink?"
Yuan Shao poured himself a glass of wine. Liu Bei, who had just stood up to pour wine for Yuan Shao, was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and sat back down.
"Why, in the eyes of Yuan Benchu, Liu Zaiyi is the kind of person who must have some purpose no matter what he does? I never do anything without purpose?"
"do not you?"
Yuan Shao took a sip of wine: "I even suspect that you have poisoned the wine."
"I won't do such a shameless thing."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "You also know, so you drink it."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Yuan Shao put down his wine glass and stared at Liu Bei: "You want to capture and kill me here?"
Yuan Shao looked at the white-robed young man and sneered: "Then the number of people you brought will be a little short."
"I don't even have a weapon, so I won't do such a thing."
Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "Remembering the past when we drank together, danced together, and planned to deal with the eunuchs, I felt that at least at that time, we were still friends, so this last drink should be drunk, unlike Yuan Gujiu
, He has never been my friend, so when I kill him, I kill him very simply."
"Don't mention that idiot again, it will embarrass me, Mrs. Yuan."
Yuan Shao sneered and said: "But do you think you can kill me so easily? I still have an army of forty or fifty thousand, and I will not be defeated by you so easily. Liu, don't think that people say you are the number one general of the Han Dynasty. I
I will be afraid of you."
"No, no."
Liu Bei shook his head repeatedly: "Benchu, I didn't want to kill you here. I wanted to capture you, send you to Luoyang, and then kill you to let you live a few more days and eat more.
I’ll have a few more drinks during the day, but now, I’ve decided to kill you on the battlefield so that you won’t even be able to eat the next meal.”
"oh?"
Yuan Shao said coldly: "You hate me so much?"
"It was okay at first, but this time you made a big mistake by joining forces with the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to ravage Youzhou."
Liu Bei sneered and said: "We fight alone without anyone else. I can control the losses in the war. I absolutely believe in the discipline of my army. But you just called the Xianbei and Wuhuan people here. I heard,
They ravaged most of the counties in Youzhou, and Youzhou was completely destroyed."
"So what? Wouldn't it be nice?"
Yuan Shao smiled and said: "When I think about destroying your hometown, killing your fellow villagers, and making you suffer, I feel extremely happy. If I make you suffer, my goal will be achieved."
"You should direct your anger at me, vent your anger on me, and try your best to kill me, instead of ravaging Youzhou."
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "The brave are angry and draw their swords against the stronger. The timid are angry and draw their swords against the weaker. Yuan Benchu, you are a complete coward."
"What did you say?"
Yuan Shao's expression suddenly changed and he said: "Even if Yuan Benchu died in battle today, he would never frown or turn around and run away! Am I a coward?"
"You are a coward. Otherwise, why would you want to ravage Youzhou instead of leading troops to kill Luoyang and me?"
Liu Bei sighed and said with emotion: "Since I gained momentum, I can say that every enemy I have dealt with is a strong person in the eyes of outsiders. When I deal with them, no one thinks that I will definitely win.
The Lujiang rebels are like this, the eunuchs are like this, the Jinwen school is like this, the Yellow Turban Army is like this, the Liangzhou rebels are like this, the Qiang people are like this, the Xianbei people are like this, He Jin and Yuan Wei
The same is true for the alliance.
My enemies have never been considered weaker than me. I have been fighting against such opponents until I became a general and a recognized strong man in the world. I have never bullied the weak.
Yuan Benchu, what about you? Who are the people you have dealt with? Apart from me, how many people have you dealt with who are stronger than you and your family? Have you faced them face to face and fought with your life?
No, never. You either hide behind the scenes or stay far away from the battlefield to control. Until now, you have to face me head-on. Are you a brave man? No, Yuan Benchu, you are a complete coward."
"Liu!!!"
Yuan Shao slapped the table and stared angrily: "Am I a coward? You killed my entire family, harmed my wife and children, and you still dare to call me a coward?!"
"In this matter, I am a loyal minister and you are a rebel. They are of different natures."
Liu Bei poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
"I originally thought that you were somewhat heroic and would not do things that would break the bottom line, but I was wrong. Yuan Benchu, I am very disappointed in you. Therefore, I am not going to give you a decent death. You don't deserve it."
"Okay, you can try and see if I crush you or you kill me."
