"Ziyi!" "Ziyi!" Seeing Taishi Ci flying backwards, Xu Sheng and Bu Zhi, who were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, quickly exclaimed, leaving their enemies behind and rushing towards Taishi Ci.
.
Guan Yu originally wanted to step forward and kill Tai Shici completely, but when he saw that the soldiers on the left and right were injured a lot, he could not delay it any longer, so he had no choice but to give up. He snorted coldly and shouted: "I will spare your life today! Go back."
Practice your martial arts more and come to me again!" After saying that, Guan Yu turned his horse's head and continued to rush out of the camp with the soldiers of the Chu army.
Taishi Ci, who was being helped up by Xu Sheng and Bu Zhi, happened to hear Guan Yu's words and couldn't help but spurt out another mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and glared at Guan Yu's back and hummed: "Guan Yu! I will avenge today's revenge!"
"
However, Guan Yu couldn't hear Tai Shici's oath. Guan Yu returned to the front and started killing. The Qinglong Sword in his hand was like a magic weapon to kill people. Sun Wu soldiers would die as soon as they touched it. Under the leadership of Guan Yu
, the passage that was tightly blocked before was opened by Guan Yu in the blink of an eye! It’s just that Guan Yu is powerful, but the Chu soldiers following Guan Yu are not that capable. When Guan Yu finally rushed out of Sun
When I looked back at the Wu military camp, I saw that there were only more than 300 Chu soldiers left!
Feeling that his attack on the camp had failed and that he had lost all face, Guan Yu was livid. After joining Guan Ping's troops with more than 300 Chu soldiers, he fled directly towards Guangling City. And Sun Wu's army
After chasing for a while, they retreated very consciously, so Guan Yu's troops returned to the city safely. Although the attack on the camp did not achieve the expected effect, they were ambushed by the enemy and only suffered losses.
To have such a small number of people is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
Three days later, in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, the battle reports from Langya and Guangling had been delivered to Liu Bei. Looking at the two battle reports in his hands, Liu Bei couldn't help but frown. Sitting below, there was also Liu Bei Yi Zhiru.
Zhuge Liang, his right-hand man, and a group of Xuzhou civil servants and generals. Liu Bei read the battle report again, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said to everyone sitting down: "Now Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce are attacking at the same time! Is there any clever way for you to defeat the enemy?
?”
"This..." Hearing Liu Bei raise this question, everyone here was hesitant and unable to explain. Seeing everyone's appearance, Liu Bei was also annoyed in his heart, but he did not dare to vent it. Liu Bei was in charge.
Xuzhou has not been around for a long time and has not yet established a firm foothold in Xuzhou. He cannot offend these subordinates who represent the Xuzhou family too much. In the end, Liu Bei could only look for help and turned to Zhuge Liang, whom he now trusted the most.
Seeing Liu Bei's eyes turning, Zhuge Liang also had a headache. It's good that he is talented, but it doesn't mean that he can solve every problem. As the saying goes, it's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Liu Bei's current strength is too poor, even if he is alone
Liu Bei was not sure of winning against either Gongsun Zan or Sun Ce, let alone facing a flanking attack from Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce! Zhuge Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "My lord! I wonder what the situation is like on Chen Yuanlong's side.
?”
The Chen Yuanlong in Zhuge Liang's mouth refers to Chen Deng, the son of Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family in Xuzhou. At this time, Chen Gui had returned home due to illness due to his old age, and Chen Deng took over Chen Gui's position.
Become a leader in Xuzhou officialdom! Zhuge Liang had previously suggested to Liu Bei that the only way to guard against attacks by Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce was to contact Cao Cao, so Liu Bei sent Chen Deng to Yanzhou to contact Cao Cao, hoping to form an alliance with Cao Cao.
Together they fought against Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce. More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Now Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce really sent troops to invade, but there was no news from Chen Deng. This made Zhuge Liang a little anxious.
Hearing Zhuge Liang's question, Liu Bei also understood what Zhuge Liang meant, and could only shake his head with a wry smile, and said: "Yuanlong also sent a message before, saying that he had been received by Cao Cao. But Cao Cao had no idea about the alliance.
But no clear answer was given, so Yuan Long had no choice but to continue to stay in Dongjun."
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang's face became more solemn. Of course Zhuge Liang could see what this news meant. Obviously Cao Cao did not intend to help Liu Bei fight against Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce! That's right. In the battle of Hangu Pass, the losses
The biggest one should be Cao Cao! After all, Cao Cao is the leader of the Luoyang Alliance. When the alliance was formed, it was mighty, but it failed to win a single battle. For Cao Cao, this invisible loss is the most fatal! So now
Cao Cao must be concentrating on recovering his losses, and he will never dare to participate in the battle between Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and Sun Ce without permission!
If this is the case, it would be troublesome. Liu Bei is the weakest among the princes in Guandong. Without Cao Cao's help, Liu Bei would never be able to stop Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce's offensive! After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang raised his head and said:
Liu Bei said: "My lord! Why don't you write a letter and send it to Dongjun, stating the interests in the letter, and ask Yuan Long to deliver it to Cao Cao to see if you can persuade Cao Cao to send troops! After all, Cao Cao's strength is greatly damaged now, if my lord
After being eliminated by Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce, the next target is only Cao Cao himself!"
"Yeah!" Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Liu Bei also nodded one after another. Then, without saying anything, he spread out a piece of brocade silk from the low table in front of him, and wrote on the brocade silk according to Zhuge Liang's wishes.
A secret letter. After drying the ink, Liu Bei immediately called for a sergeant, handed the secret letter to the sergeant, and asked the following messenger to deliver it to Dongjun.
Although he saw Liu Bei doing what he said, Zhuge Liang's expression did not improve. He himself did not know how useful this secret letter could be. It seemed that Cao Cao's reinforcements could not be counted on for the time being! Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes.
He opened his eyes and gently swung the cattail leaf fan in his hand on his chest. After a long time, Zhuge Liang finally said: "My lord! Although Gongsun Zan has many soldiers and horses, most of his men are cavalry like white horse Yi Cong. Langya has three generals and his brothers and sons.
Brother Zhong is stationed there, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. On the contrary, although Guangling is guarded by the second general, Sun Ce has too many talented people and strangers! It’s better to let his subordinates go to Guangling in person to assist the second general in defending the city!"
Liu Bei was a little surprised by Zhuge Liang's advice. He thought that Zhuge Liang would go to Langya to help Zhang Fei first, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would choose to help Guan Yu. In Liu Bei's view, Guan Yu was both civil and military, and acted cautiously, so he was more cautious than Zhang Fei.
Only those who are trustworthy. When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's expression, he knew what Liu Bei's doubts were, and immediately explained: "My lord! Although Gongsun Zan has many soldiers and horses, there are very few generals and advisers! Langya has three generals like this
With strong generals, and brothers Jia and Zizhong to give advice, it may not be easy to defeat the enemy, but there is no problem in guarding Langya! On the contrary, Sun Ce has advisers such as Zhou Yu and Kuai Yue under him, and military generals such as Taishi Ci and Cheng Pu.
, it’s really difficult to deal with! Although the second general is powerful, he is arrogant and afraid that he will fall into the enemy’s conspiracy, so his subordinates must help the second general!"
After Zhuge Liang explained this, Liu Bei finally understood. Even though he nodded, he glanced at his other subordinates. Except for Jian Yong and other old subordinates who had been with him for many years, all of Xuzhou's subordinates were looking down.
Everyone remained silent. Seeing this scene, Liu Bei's eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent, but in the end he endured it, nodded and said to Zhuge Liang: "Sir, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange on your own!
If Guangling City really cannot be defended, sir, there is no need to defend it! I can tolerate the gains and losses of a city!" Liu Bei was worried that Zhuge Liang would be stubborn and insist on defending Guangling even though he knew it was impossible to do. Now Liu Bei had a taste of it.
It has the advantage of having a top counselor at his disposal. If anything happens to Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei really doesn't know what to do!
Although arrangements had been made for the time being, Liu Bei was still feeling agitated. After briefly handling some trivial matters, Liu Bei waved his hand and signaled everyone to disperse. Liu Bei rushed straight to the study in the backyard alone and looked at the guard.
The soldier at the door of the study, Liu Bei had a gloomy face, and made a gesture to the soldier. The soldier had been following Liu Bei for many years, so he naturally understood the meaning of Liu Bei's gesture. Even with those around him
The subordinates scattered in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, the entire backyard was surrounded.
Liu Bei slowly walked to the door of the study, but did not rush in. Instead, he took a deep breath, slowly dissipated the solemn expression on his face, and replaced it with a smiling face. He made sure that his expression was not
After asking some questions, Liu Bei opened the door and walked straight in. He saw that Liu Bei was not the only one in the study. There was also a man in official robes sitting in the center of the study, holding a scroll in one hand.
, holding tea in one hand, reading a book and drinking tea at the same time, life is so leisurely!
Seeing Liu Bei come in, the man didn't look too surprised. Instead, he smiled lightly, put down the book and teacup in his hands, stood up, bowed to Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "I have met the Marquis of Chu!"
Liu Bei returned the greeting to the man with a smile and said: "Sir, you're welcome! When you came earlier, Liu Bei was discussing important matters with the military commanders, so I didn't come to see you in time. Please forgive me for not coming to see you in time!"
The man heard Liu Bei's words, but did not express any meaning. Instead, he smiled and said: "Haha! It's normal for the Marquis of Chu to be busy with official duties! He can take time out of his busy schedule to see Qin Mi, Qin Mi
Mi is so honored! How dare you complain? Lord Chu must not be overly anxious!"
