Chapter 568 It seems that Yuan Shao is still stronger than Yuan Shu
On the battlefield, the Han army was completely fanatical.
Lu Bu is charging, Zhang Liao is charging, Li Su is charging, Zhang Yang is also charging, even Xu Huang, who has broken through the front defense of the Chinese army, is also charging, Shi Huan and Zhang He who are fighting with Xu Huang are also charging.
Zhang Fei, who had killed Zhang Nan and captured Jiao Chu alive, also rushed over.
Pang De, who pierced Han Meng's body with a spear, also rushed over.
Finally, Liu Bei saw that Dong Zhuo was also eager to try, so he nodded and asked Dong Zhuo to lead the charge and charge forward without hesitation.
So this [Yuan Shao’s Battle for Hegemony] has another contestant.
They were all rushing forward, frantically tearing at the fragile formation of Yuan Shao's army, like a group of hungry wild wolves, biting the prey's body crazily, with blood splattering everywhere...
Looking at this crazy scene, Cheng Li, who was standing next to Liu Bei and looking from afar, sighed.
"How many people in the whole world can resist such an army? All those who talk shamelessly will be completely destroyed under the deterrence of this army. No one in the world can resist the power of the general, and no one in the world can resist it.
No one will dare to resist."
Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Cheng Li who was sighing with emotion.
"I like to hear what Zhongde said, but fundamentally I can still confirm that this matter is impossible. The hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is driven by profit. Whenever interests are involved, no matter what I do,
If I am strong, there will be people who dare to resist me.
People, that's it. If you don't have a knife to your neck, if you don't face the most serious threat to your life, or if you don't even see a corpse lying in front of you, you will never regret what you have done, so no matter how you threaten, it is useless.
"
Cheng Li looked at Liu Bei.
"Li doesn't disagree with what the general said, but with the strength of the general, Li believes that everyone will have some scruples when they want to do something that goes against the will of the general."
"Really? What if I say I want to be in the field?"
Liu Bei looked at Cheng Li with a smile.
"Dutian..."
"Yes, Du Tian."
Liu Bei said with a smile: "This is something that even Emperor Guangwu could not conquer the world back then. Emperor Guangwu was so strong that he could not completely conquer the world. There were still so many people who raised armies to resist. How can my prestige be compared with that of Emperor Guangwu? So,
There will definitely be many battles to fight in the future.”
Cheng Li thought for a while.
"General, is your future ambition to live in the fields?"
"Naturally, if you don't cultivate your land, the big man will have no future."
Liu Bei nodded, looked at the fierce battlefield, and said slowly: "To clear out the rebellion and stabilize the world, the most we can do is maintain the Han Dynasty until my death, but if we succeed in conquering the fields, the Han Dynasty will be able to maintain it for a while longer.
Everything I am doing now is to prepare for Du Tian. The reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were able to be arrogant for a while is because I want to remove more resistance for Du Tian in the future, so that there will not be too many enemies in the future.
.”
After Cheng Li heard this, he was silent for a while before speaking again.
"This is something that touches on the fundamentals. Throughout the ages, anything involving land has never been properly handled. There will always be countless opponents inside and outside, and in the center. So if the general wants to act like this,
The stakes are high.”
"So, Zhongde, are you willing to help me?"
Liu Bei looked at Cheng Li: "If I want to conquer the fields, will you support me?"
Cheng Li blinked and then laughed.
"The Cheng family is not a family with huge wealth and countless lands. If the general wants to save the land, then let's do it. The Cheng family has the support of the general, and the land is not a problem. The general is willing to repay his kindness with his life.
"
Liu Bei's expression softened when he looked at Cheng Li.
"That being the case, my respect for you is not in vain... By the way, Zhongde, I told you before, do you want to change your name?"
Cheng Li nodded.
"The general said that when he dreamed of his subordinates, he met an immortal holding the sun on the top of Mount Tai. Li thought that in this case, he should follow the general's dream and change his name from the character "Li" to the character "昱". What did the general think?
?”
"Yu..."
Liu Bei smiled: "One day above, Cheng Yu, good, good, not a bad name. If Zhongde is willing, I can change the name."
"only!"
Cheng Yu was very happy.
While the two were talking, the situation on the battlefield had become even more one-sided. Zhang Fei, Pang De, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo and other worldly heroes brought powerful troops and horses to besiege Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's Chinese army formation was defeated by thousands of people.
It was riddled with holes and collapsed into disgrace.
Tian Feng desperately mobilized soldiers and horses from all walks of life to come to support and resist the impact of the Han army's cavalry, but it had no effect. The impact from the Han army was still so sharp. After Yuan Jun lost his military formation, the scattered soldiers and horses could not resist the cavalry.
Instead, it became a living target for the Han cavalry.
Before that, Yuan Shao's cavalry had been defeated by the Han cavalry.
Yuan Shao has the last remaining cavalry of 500 people, which is his most elite army. He spent a lot of money to recruit and train elite cavalry. Everyone wears armor and has strong combat effectiveness. They are Yuan Shao's key bodyguards.
An important presence who always protects Yuan Shao from escaping death.
Once this army enters the battlefield, it means that Yuan Shao's life cannot be guaranteed.
And if this army does not enter the battlefield, the last layer of defense of Yuan Shao's central army formation will be torn apart by the swarming Han army's sudden cavalry in a short period of time, and they will die without a burial place.
"General! The matter has come to this. If we don't retreat, it will be too late!"
Tian Feng grabbed Yuan Shao's hand and forcefully asked Yuan Shao to retreat immediately.
With the protection of five hundred elite cavalry, it is not difficult to escape from the battlefield.
But Yuan Shao smiled bitterly after a period of silence.
"Yuan Hao, do you know what Liu said to me just now?"
"?"
Tian Feng was stunned and said hurriedly: "General! Now is not the time to talk about this! General, please retreat immediately! Leave it to Feng to deal with it. Feng will definitely buy time for the general to retreat!"
However, Yuan Shao seemed not to hear what Tian Feng said, and kept talking to himself about what was in his heart.
"Liu told me that I have always been a coward, a coward who only dared to insult those weaker than himself, but he was not. He was a brave man, because his enemies were always stronger than him, but he still dared to challenge.
And won."
"General..."
"I was very unconvinced at the time. I thought how could I be a coward? Who was I afraid of? I have never retreated. A temporary retreat is nothing. The situation is not conducive to me. I retreat, reorganize the army and fight again. This
Not a coward.
But just now, I thought about it again, and I found that he might be right. I might really be a coward. I rarely fight against people who are really stronger than me, and I never do anything too serious.
Something too risky.
But Liu is different. From the time he raised his troops, he has been fighting against people we think are very powerful and difficult to deal with. No one thinks he can definitely win, but he wins every time, and what about me?"
Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Tian Feng: "Maybe the gap between him and me is here. He always dares to go against people who are stronger than him, but I don't. In other words, my position is already too high.
It's hard for me to find someone better than me, so, I...I'm really not as good as him."
Tian Feng was stunned on the spot.
"General, you..."
"The Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke, what did you give me? We were of such high birth and so noble, but in the end, we were completely killed by Liu, a border bastard. Yuan Hao, you say, the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke
What’s the point?”
Yuan Shao's eyes were red, tears overflowed from his eyes, and he said sadly: "After all the wealth and wealth, are our Yuan family really stronger than others? If so, why can Liu kill us all? If not, the ancestors of the Yuan family
What are you doing?
Yuan Hao, I really don’t understand. Four generations and three princes, is this an honor or a curse for the Yuan family? Should the descendants of the Yuan family feel honored for this, or should they hate this curse?"
Tian Feng didn't know what to say at all.
On this battlefield of blood and fire, where people were dying every moment, Yuan Shao achieved his own epiphany?
What's the point?
Yuan Shao quickly wiped away his tears and his expression became serious again.
"I have done many wrong things, and I have also committed many unforgivable crimes. I admit all of them, but Liu said that I am a coward. I absolutely cannot admit it, so Yuan Hao, I will not leave, or I will win."
, or die in battle, the last person of the Yuan family has only these two paths to take."
"General, you can leave."
Tian Feng said sadly: "If you stay here, you will definitely die. Liu Bei's army is too strong, we are no match..."
"Yes, that's why I can't leave."
Yuan Shao's face twitched, and then miraculously showed a smile.
"The Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third Duke, finally encountered a stronger opponent than themselves. Such an opportunity for the weak to defeat the strong is so precious to Yuan family! How can I leave? I can only die.
Only here can I prove that I am not a coward!"
Tian Feng had nothing to say.
Yuan Shao pulled out the sword from his waist and held it tightly.
"This battle is not someone else's battle, but a battle between me and Liu. He hasn't left the battlefield yet, how can I leave? Either he dies or I die! Yuan Hao, let's go."
"Where can I go?"
Tian Feng smiled bitterly and said: "General, as things stand now, even if I don't die here, I will die somewhere else. If you don't give up, general, please take me with you to die."
"Then I'm sorry, Yuan Hao."
Yuan Shao laughed loudly and said: "On the Huangquan Road, you and I are walking together, so we don't seem lonely anymore."
"So good."
Tian Feng also pulled out the sword from his waist.
So, the two men led five hundred personal guards and cavalry and launched a final charge against the surging fanatical Han cavalry.
Yuan Shao specially asked people to hold his commander's flag. He wanted Liu Bei to see his commander's flag. He wanted Liu Bei to see his final battle until his final death.
Liu Bei did indeed see it. The flag was indeed very conspicuous. Liu Bei stood at a high place and looked into the distance. He saw that the handsome flag representing Yuan Shao did not move backward, but instead bravely moved forward, rushing towards the surging Han cavalry.
Know what choice Yuan Shao made.
"It seems that Yuan Shao is still a little stronger than Yuan Shu."
Liu Bei sighed and said slowly: "Yuan Shu still chose to beg for mercy at the last moment, but Yuan Shao did not beg me for mercy until the end, but chose to charge into the battle. Sure enough, there are some differences between the two after all."
Cheng Yu sneered.
"So what? The four generations and the three princes are nothing more than a handful of loess. The general's flag is pointed at him and he is invincible. The Yuan family is destroyed and the world surrenders. After this battle, there is no one who dares to resist the general at least openly.
Already."
"That's what I said, but seeing my old friend leave me makes me feel a little melancholy."
Liu Bei said slowly: "There is a saying that clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. I am very nostalgic for the old. The more old I am, the more reluctant I am to let go of it. Even if I hate him to death in my heart, when he is really dead, I still can't bear it.
It’s such a melancholy life…”
Cheng Yu said nothing more and looked at the turbulent and crazy battlefield.
Together with Liu Bei, he watched the handsome flag representing Yuan Shao clash left and right, and was finally surrounded, and finally fell down, never to be seen again.

PS: Damn, I have a second yang, it really hurts...
PPS: However, the symptoms were much milder than the first time. I had no fever and my throat was fine. If I hadn’t taken an antigen test on a whim, I would have thought it was a normal cold and cough.
PPPS: But it’s still uncomfortable. Everyone should be more careful, wear a mask, go out as little as possible these days, and stay safe.
