Liu Pi went to Liu Bei lightly, but before he could speak, he was killed by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun who had been lying in wait for a long time.
It's a pity that Liu Pi came from a reckless background and was a big bandit whose name was recorded in the history books, but he died in a cowardly way.
After executing Liu Pi, Liu Bei decisively asked Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to gather Liu Pi's old troops in the city, and everything seemed to go extremely smoothly.
Only Gong Du, who was also the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal District with Liu Pi, was furious when he heard the news: "What a Liu Bei! What a deceiver and thief! I have traveled thousands of miles to come to join him, but he actually wants to kill us and seize the troops."
Everyone!"
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
Gong Du was unwilling to surrender, but instead launched a decisive counterattack against Liu Bei's army, causing chaos in Pingyu City.
Outside the city...
Cao Ren gasped when he heard the commotion: "What's going on? Is there a fight in the city?"
"Don't make it!"
The deputy general was also a little confused.
"Young Master He wants us to pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army and open the city gate, but that's not the case!"
The "Yellow Turban Army" approaching outside was actually Cao Renjun in disguise.
According to He Yan's plan, Liu Bei and Liu Pi would definitely have a grudge against each other after they had a dispute.
At this time, seeing Cao Ren, who is also a member of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Pi will definitely invite Cao Ren and the others into the city to increase his bargaining chip and threaten Liu Bei...
I never expected that Liu Bei was not the Uncle Liu who looked like a rabbit, but Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty who came from troubled times.
If such a person is under a dangerous wall without knowing it, he is not worthy of being remembered in history.
"Captain, what should I do?"
"You still have to ask? Let's hit him!"
Cao Ren's reaction was even faster.
No matter what the process is, he only wants the result!
As long as he can kill Liu Bei and Liu Pi in one battle, he will be the biggest winner!
Setting up a ladder and raising his bow and arrow, Cao Ren launched an attack.
Unlike Liu Bei's army and the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Ren's men are veterans who followed Cao Cao in the north and south!
After just a few attempts, they successfully opened a gap in the not-so-high city wall and opened the city gate.
Liu Bei, who was still fighting against Gongdu in the city, heard that the "Yellow Turban Army" outside bravely broke open the city gate, and knew that something was serious.
"withdraw!"
"Get out of town!"
Liu Bei shouted loudly, Zhang Fei hurried to the east gate to open a way, while Zhao Yun stayed behind to organize the army.
As soon as Zhang Fei rushed out, he saw Cao Ren wearing a yellow scarf, and he roughly knew the whole story: "Cao Zixiao?"
"Zhang Yide!"
Cao Ren and Zhang Fei were old acquaintances, so he immediately drew his gun and fought with Zhang Fei.
"Zhang Yide! You and Liu Xuande have wasted their kindness to Sikong. Not only have you not repented, but you have also aided the evildoers. You deserve to be killed!"
"fart!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and the powerful sound wave made Cao Ren's mind go blank for a while.
"Liu Yuzhou and I serve today's Emperor! His name is Cao Cao, Sikong, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty! How can we talk about wasting our kindness?"
Cao Ren also laughed angrily when he heard this: "Sikong is a Han traitor? If Sikong was a Han traitor, the Han Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago! If Liu Xuande was a true hero, why didn't he lead the troops to attack Chang'an when Dong Zhuo seized the emperor? Welcome him back.
Emperor?"
"Strong words!"
Neither of them could speak against the other, so they could only taunt each other while fighting.
Liu Bei joined forces with Zhao Yun to break out of the encirclement.
Cao Ren has sharp eyes and is very familiar with Liu Bei and his party. After discovering Liu Bei's trace, he immediately shouted: "Liu Xuande! Stop!"
Liu Bei turned a deaf ear and quickly whipped the horse's buttocks with a riding crop to speed up.
"Zhang Yide! Get out of my way!"
"Delusional!"
Cao Ren wanted to chase Liu Bei, but Zhang Fei stopped him and refused to give him a chance.
It wasn't until Liu Bei escaped from the city that Zhang Fei truly showed his ability to become an enemy of ten thousand people.
He flipped his wrist, and the heavy snake spear became as light as a willow branch in his hand, and stabbed three inches under Cao Ren's armpit.
Cao Ren didn't have time to put away his sword to resist, so he had to step aside to make a gap.
Now that he had found his way out, Zhang Fei did not bother with Cao Ren and rushed out as soon as he caught the horse's belly.
"Stop him!"
Cao Ren's voice became louder, but Zhang Fei became more ferocious, slashing two soldiers horizontally. They were covered in blood and made people frightened.
"Cao Zixiao, farewell!"
Seeing Zhang Fei rushing out of the city, the anxiety on Cao Ren's face suddenly disappeared.
"It depends on the second level of ambush set by Yu Lang."
————————
————————
As soon as Liu Bei left the east gate, he fled away and ran for ten miles before he began to gather his old troops.
Zhang Fei from behind also caught up at this time and exposed the identity of the "Yellow Turban Army".
"It's actually Cao Ren? Shouldn't he be following Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shao in Guandu at this time?"
When he heard that Cao Ren was personally leading the troops, Liu Bei's brows were as furrowed as the roots of a tree.
Cao Ren's reputation has now emerged, and Liu Bei is well aware of Cao Ren's difficulty.
"And I had doubts before. Liu Pi had been living in the mountains and wilderness in Runan County. How could he arrogantly take the official road and go north from Runan? You must know that Runan Governor Man Boning is not a simple figure. He
If he really wants to defend, Liu Pi will never have the chance to make peace with our army!"
Liu Bei's troops began to feel a little uneasy at this moment, and wanted to gather some troops before leaving this place of right and wrong.
"Liu Xuande, farewell to Xuchang, but his style remains the same!"
After a loud noise, Man Chong actually led his troops to fight out from the nearby woods.
"Man Bonin!"
When Liu Bei saw Man Chong, his horror was palpable, but he didn't know that Man Chong was more, if not less, shocked than him.
It turned out that He Yan had arranged an ambush against Liu Bei just before the battle.
"Liu Xuande is a great man in the world. If the situation in the city is not right, he will definitely not be willing to fight and will definitely rush out of Pingyu and flee."
"We'd better plan an ambush outside the city first. In this way, even if he can escape from Pingyu, he may not have any chance of survival!"
Cao Ren, who knew very well how difficult Liu Bei was, was the first to agree to this.
"I just don't know where to set an ambush?"
"East."
"Why?"
He Yan thought for a moment and then uttered three words: "I guessed it!"
"..."
He Yan had no choice but to say: "To the west is Liu Biao. Liu Bei running to someone else's territory without saying hello may cause a lot of misunderstandings. To the north is the battlefield of Sikong and Yuan Shao. There are often troops in and out. Liu Bei probably doesn't want to gamble, and we and others
The probability is that he will enter through the south gate. So if Liu Bei wants to escape back to Yuan Shao, he has no choice but to run east."
"Besides, there are only four choices in total. Even if you get the wrong answer, you should get the right one."
Faced with He Yan's extremely irresponsible arrangement, Cao Ren and Man Chong agreed after some struggle.
It's just that Manchong felt that this matter was still a bit unreliable.
It wasn't until he saw Liu Bei appear in front of him that Man Chong realized——
