Cao Cao happily listened to his men reporting to him the results of the battle. In this battle, more than 10,000 Yellow Turban rebels were beheaded, more than 2,000 were captured, and flags, golden drums, and many horses were captured.
While listening, Cao Cao kept talking to Liu Ming, proudly telling how remarkable the results of this victory were.
Liu Ming didn't care very much about this. Not to mention the huge number of horses that Cao Cao said, they were just dozens of rogue horses! In other words, what use were the captured flags and golden drums? Moreover, the Yellow Turbans fled in a hurry, so
You can imagine how many supplies he had to carry! The only thing that can be mentioned here is the beheading of more than 10,000 people and the capture of 2,000 prisoners. However, Liu Ming has been used to seeing big scenes recently, and he is no longer interested in such numbers! It’s just that
, in order not to dampen Cao Cao's interest, Liu Ming still cheered him up. But in his heart, Liu Ming was thinking about why Zhang Fei didn't come back!
No! Whoever you miss will arrive! Liu Ming was thinking about Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei came back!
Zhang Fei was still far away from Liu Ming, so he shouted loudly: "Brother, I'm back, do you see what I brought you?" Zhang Fei said while waving something with his hand.
.
Liu Ming took a closer look and almost became angry. What happened? Zhang Fei held a human head and danced wildly in his hand. After all, Liu Ming is a civilized person with modern education! Seeing such a barbaric behavior
, how can it not be awkward! And Liu Ming also muttered in his heart: Third brother! Third brother! What's wrong with you bringing me a head? Bringing me a head, isn't this a bad thing for me! You are the most arrogant, you still shout like this
Loud! What is there to shout about?
However, Cao Cao, who was next to Liu Ming at this time, asked Liu Ming with great interest: "General Liu, this man's voice is like a huge thunder, full of energy, burly physique, and overwhelming evil spirit. His hands are dancing with his head. He must be a fresh beheader."
The general's head is here to claim credit! Such a fierce general, who is the general's subordinate?"
Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was still common to hold a person's head to ask for credit. This was not because Zhang Fei was sincerely trying to bring trouble to himself. Seeing Cao Cao asking again, he replied: "This is my third brother Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide
.He is a reckless person who would make the general laugh."
At this time, Zhang Fei had already come to Liu Ming and saw that Guan Yu was also there, so he ignored the other person beside Liu Ming and said loudly to Liu Ming: "Brother, second brother, look!
This is the head of the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Bao. This time we have made a great contribution!" After saying this, Zhang Fei burst into laughter with pride.
After Liu Ming and others listened to Zhang Fei's narration, everyone knew what happened.
It turned out that Zhang Fei led his cavalry to pursue the fleeing Yellow Turban defeated troops in a detour. Relying on the speed of the cavalry's horses, he had caught up with the defeated Yellow Turbans in a short time.
However, when Zhang Fei saw the fleeing Yellow Turban defeated army, these people were still gathered together. Although they were running away in a panic, there were still a lot of people! After all, there were still tens of thousands of troops!
So Zhang Fei used the high mobility of the assault cavalry to repeatedly shoot and harass, exhausting the defeated Yellow Turban troops and causing heavy casualties!
During this period, the defeated Yellow Turban army organized several manpower to counterattack Zhang Fei, intending to eliminate Zhang Fei's small pursuers!
However, the mobility of the assault cavalry led by Zhang Fei is too high! This truly complies with the sixteen-character policy of Grandpa Mao: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is trapped, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue
.
Under such a blow from Zhang Fei, these Yellow Turban defeated troops moved slowly and suffered heavy casualties.
Just when Zhang Fei thought that the battle would continue like this, a Yellow Turban general suddenly led his troops to fight against Zhang Fei and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Heavenly Army! How dare you, general?"
Fight with me!"
When Zhang Fei heard that someone dared to challenge him, how could he ignore him? Especially such a big yellow turban thief. Zhang Fei immediately accepted the challenge! Although Zhang Bao also had some martial arts skills, how could he be Zhang Fei's opponent?
?
The result of a single line was that Zhang Fei won easily, Zhang Bao's head was missing, and the remaining members of the Yellow Turbans fled in all directions.
Zhang Fei was thinking about Liu Ming's instructions, and the cavalry had indeed killed many yellow turban thieves. Zhang Fei himself also killed the yellow turban thief Zhang Bao, so it was a happy day. So, Zhang Fei led the cavalry back.
Take credit.
Everyone understood and praised Zhang Fei. Cao Cao also said: "What a reckless man! General Liu, ordered his wise brother to lead the cavalry, advance and retreat in a controlled manner. More than 300 cavalry pursued tens of thousands of defeated troops and beheaded them."
Countless, but he himself was unscathed! It can be seen that he is brave and brave, and his military skills are unparalleled! He killed the bandit with the first treasure, which shows that he has superb martial arts! Such a talented person is called a reckless person, and there is no hero in the world! It can be seen that under General Liu's account,
There are many heroes and talents. Although I have a small army and few generals, it is just like that, so General Liu would not have deceived me just now." Cao Cao's words were originally intended to make fun of Liu Ming.
But when Zhang Fei heard someone speaking ill of his eldest brother, regardless of whether the person was praising him or not, he got angry and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you question my eldest brother like this! Come, come, come! Come with me!"
I, Lao Zhang, walked up to me and asked me, Lao Zhang, to teach you a lesson!"
On the side, he also had an angry look on his face, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly in his hand.
Liu Ming said quickly: "Third brother Xiu is so rude! This is General Cao, please apologize to General Cao!"
Zhang Fei reluctantly apologized to Cao Cao and stepped aside.
Cao Cao hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The three generals are indeed gentlemen! But Cao's words were inappropriate, please forgive me." Cao Cao said politely, but in his heart he secretly marveled at Liu Ming's role in Zhang Fei.
The weight in Guan Yu's heart, especially for a fierce man like Zhang Fei, was shouted at by Liu Ming. He showed no dissatisfaction and obeyed orders! It really made Cao Cao take a look at Liu Minggao.
In fact, with Cao Cao's character, how could he understand what brotherly love is? He just wishfully thought that Liu Ming was strict with his subordinates and supported by his generals.
When everyone saw this, they returned to the camp together and met Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
When they arrived at the camp, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also came back victorious. Everyone talked about the harvest and credit.
Huangfu Song first said: "In this battle, General Liu first made contributions and made contributions. Later, his subordinates successively killed the first wave of Yellow Turban bandits, Zhang Bao, especially Zhang Bao. He was the younger brother of Zhang Jiao, the chief Yellow Turban bandit."
, and it also makes Han Guang, one of the three leaders of the Yellow Turban Rebellion Party, the chief contributor this time! I will definitely work with Gong Wei to recommend Han Guang to the imperial court."
Zhu Jun also said: "This is exactly the reason! I will definitely recommend General Liu to Brother Yizhen."
Afterwards, everyone also praised Cao Cao for his contribution. But with the counting report, everyone discovered that the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Liang was gone!
Cao Cao reacted immediately and said quickly: "The thief Zhang Liang must have escaped with Zhang Bao! After Zhang Bao's death, he hid in the rebel army and escaped. Otherwise, who among the Yellow Turbans could make Zhang Bao escape?"
Bao sacrifices his life to stop our army from pursuing you!"
Everyone felt that what Cao Cao said was reasonable and nodded in approval.
In fact, Cao Cao was quite right. At that time, Zhang Bao saw Zhang Fei leading the cavalry to constantly harass and kill his own troops, but he was unable to do anything to Zhang Fei's team. At this rate, the team could not run fast, and I am afraid that the official
The army's follow-up troops arrived, and no one could escape by then, so he resolutely fulfilled his brother's wish. After asking his brother to avenge himself, he resolutely rushed out and sacrificed his own life in exchange for his brother Zhang Liang and those who
A chance for the Yellow Turban soldiers to escape.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Cao Cao then said: "The Yellow Turbans have been newly defeated, and their foundation is unstable. They have no supplies and no city to help them! At this time, we should attack day and night to defeat them! This is a good opportunity for us to expand our results and make achievements.
!Cao is not talented, so I have to resign first." After saying that, Cao Cao saluted everyone present and hurriedly led his troops to chase Zhang Liang.
Liu Ming was a little stunned, and thought to himself: Cao Cao just left like this, didn't he cooperate with the brigade to fight together?
Liu Ming did not expect that after Cao Cao left, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both said happily: "This Ah Man can leave. The middle-ranking officials and party members are not worth trying!"
Liu Ming was completely speechless. He said in his heart: It seems that there are quite a lot of things going on here, and he still has to deal with them carefully.
Huangfu Song said to Liu Ming: "General Liu, General Cao has led his troops to chase the bandits. I expect that the bandit Zhang Liang will defect to Guangzong and join his brother Zhang Jiao.
Let's regroup now. Only Han Guang's cavalry is extremely fast. You can go to Guangzong at starry night and tell brother Ziqian that Gongwei and I will be there soon, and ask him to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Then our three armies will meet up.
Let’s defeat the thieves together!”
Liu Ming took the order and led Guan and Zhang to rush to Guangzong with their own troops.
Liu Ming led his troops to Guangzong, and did not dare to delay for a moment along the way. On this day, he was already near Yecheng, when he suddenly saw a group of soldiers and horses escorting a prison car and the people in the prison car.
, it was Lu Zhi! There was another person talking to Lu Zhi next to the prison car.
Liu Ming was very surprised, why was Lu Zhi locked up? He quickly stepped forward and asked what happened to Lu Zhi.
When Lu Zhi saw Liu Ming, he was also very happy. When he saw Liu Ming asking him, he replied: "I am surrounding that corner. There are many enemies and cannot be broken. I wanted to wait for the yellow turban thieves. When the food and grass are exhausted, my three-pronged army will
We encircled the city and defeated it together. However, the imperial court sent Zuo Feng from Huangmen to investigate. That Zuo Feng is a villain! Regardless of whether our soldiers sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, they competed for the bribes I asked for. Not to mention that I have been honest all my life.
, I didn’t have the money to give him, even if I had money, how could I let myself down and do such a sloppy thing! So I refused him and said: "We are still short of military rations, how can I have more money to serve the angels?" That villain Zuo Feng asked for a bribe.
When he failed, he left with hatred. Unexpectedly, the villain returned to the court and said that I was too lazy to fight because I was too lazy to fight, wasting food and money, and lining my own pockets. Therefore, the court was furious and sent General Dong Zhuo to lead the army in my place.
And take me back to the capital for questioning."
Zhang Fei usually ignored the villain's behavior and pitied Lu Zhi's plight. At the same time, he also admired Lu Zhi's righteousness, so he said to Liu Ming: "Brother, this old man is very pitiful. Why don't we save him later?"
Make a plan. Brother, what do you think?"
Liu Mingxin said: How about it? I didn’t know the current situation and I was retaliated against. How many things can be accomplished just by being honest! How much value can something be accomplished without a bloody blow? But at this time
In this situation, Liu Ming couldn't say that.
Liu Ming was just thinking about what to say when he happened to see the person next to Lu Zhi and stopped talking. So Liu Ming ignored Zhang Fei's question and asked Lu Zhi: "Who is the person next to Mr. Lu?"
?”
Lu Zhi said: "This is my registered disciple Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. He also led the troops to help me. Unexpectedly, we met like this." Lu Zhi turned his head and said to Liu Bei: "This is Liu Bei, who is famous all over the world.
Ming Dynasty, General Liu Hanguang is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is now a member of Youzhou Biejia. General Huangfu asked him to be transferred here to break the bandits. You can come forward to pay homage. You should learn more from General Liu in the future."
After Liu Bei heard this, he came over to see Liu Ming as a gift.
When Liu Ming heard that this person was Liu Bei, he was happy: Not bad. After meeting Cao Cao, he finally met Uncle Liu Huang.
Liu Ming looked at Liu Bei carefully and saw that Liu Bei could not be said to be handsome, he could even be said to be strange.
Liu Bei is not small in stature. He is seven feet five inches tall. According to modern terms, he is about 1.7 meters tall. However, Liu Bei's ears are also too big. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that his ears are droopy and his shoulders are droopy, his big ears are very attractive.
, there is absolutely no way he can run away. If we say he is blessed with big ears, let’s leave it alone. But there is definitely something wrong with Liu Bei’s eyes. These eyes are too wide apart! He can almost see his own ears. And
His face is paler, but his lips are too red. If these are not surprising! Then Liu Bei's arms are absolutely laughable. How does Liu Ming look and feel like an orangutan in the zoo? Liu Bei's hands
They are almost touching the ground. If Liu Bei were on the waist of a cat, he would be absolutely the same as an orangutan, walking with all four palms on the ground. (Original text of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: His ears hang down his shoulders, his hands reach his knees, his eyes can focus on his ears,
The face is like a crown jade, and the lips are as if they were greased.^_^)
But this time, Liu Ming had the experience of seeing Cao Cao at the bottom before, so he didn't lose his composure.
However, Liu Ming still suppressed his laughter. After returning the gift to Liu Bei, he quickly shifted his mind and thought: This Lu Zhi is actually Liu Bei's teacher, which is really unexpected. Well, let's see what Liu Bei says this time. So Liu Ming asked Liu Bei.
: "What does Duke Xuande think of the matter concerning the command?"
Liu was flattered. He didn't expect that Liu Ming, who was famous all over the world, would call himself Xuande Gong. It was really unexpected! But who was Liu Bei? He immediately followed the stick and said to Liu Ming respectfully: "My lord,
You are famous all over the world, how can I accept that you call me Duke? Besides, you and I are both clan members of the Han Dynasty, and I am also the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the queen of Zhongshan Jing. You can just call me brother."
Liu Ming nodded and said in his heart: This Liu Bei is really beyond his appearance, he is really good at building relationships. However, Liu Ming is still happy to take advantage of this first. As for what happens in the future, we will talk about it later. So Liu Ming said with a smile.
: "In that case, brother Xuande! What do you think about the matter of the master?"
