The sky is long, and this place is only dozens of miles away from Guangling.
Liu Bei led his army to this place, and before he could go south, he was reported by the cavalry covered in blood.
"Report to the lord, the three generals were ambushed by thousands of elite cavalry of Tai Shi Ci on the slope of more than ten miles outside Guangling City, and the three generals and Tai Shi Ci fought a hundred and fifty battles without a victory, and the army was defeated by the elite cavalry, and now they are retreating here."
"Is General Yide okay" Liu Bei's face changed slightly, but he still took the lead in asking Zhang Fei.
"The three generals are fine, but after the defeat, they are a little angry."
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced around at the left and right generals, and his eyes fell on Sun Gan, "Gongyou, this time the Jiangdong Army marched into Guangling one step ahead of our army, and the Taishi Ci cavalry defeated Yide, and there must be Fan Neng's troops who defended Quanshu to attack the city with a large group of foot soldiers, this time to Guangling, it is useless, how should our army be good?"
Sun Qian opened his mouth to answer, but he heard a hearty laugh: "The envoy gallops north and south, and is also a famous husband in the world, after the Marquis of Wu and the envoy are both in the Han family, now regardless of the flesh and blood, the same room, why does the envoy take the initiative to compromise and deliberately avoid the war?"
Liu Bei's generals changed their complexions, although the scribe who stepped out felt that countless murderous eyes fell on him, but he did not dodge or dodge, and his face was calm and pointed to Guangling, "My Guangling Chen family, several generations of officials, famous in the Guangling Shi clan, my father and son are also kind to the people of Guangling, so that if the king is willing to recover Guangling for the imperial court, he can send someone to sneak into the city, contact the wealthy families in the city and make the king join the outside." ” Liu Bei's face was a little stiff, and the person in front of him was too aggressive, but he also had an old relationship with this person, and this time both of them were nominally ministers under Cao Cao's account, so it was really not good to tear the skin.
"Mr.
Yuanlong's words are wrong, the Jiangdong army is in Guangling City, and now there are few tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are three thousand Tai Shici on the side, our army is only five thousand, how to fight" The person who opened his mouth was Sun Qian, the only strategist under Liu Bei's account.
Chen Deng's eyes showed a slight sneer, "Xuan Degong is unwilling to be the main general of Pi, and he is unwilling to go all out to capture Guangling to protect his soldiers, so he is not afraid of the Son of Heaven condemning."
Hearing this, the second master's eyes that were squinting had a murderous flash, and his arm holding the knife was also tightened.
"Big brother."
At this moment, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but it was Zhang Fei who rode dozens of horses to the front.
"Third brother."
"Third brother."
Liu Bei and Guan Yu raised their feet almost at the same time and stepped forward accordingly.
"The little brother is incompetent, but he let that Tai Shi Ci defeat him."
Zhang Feifei approached, immediately turned over and dismounted, lowered his head with a dejected face, knelt on his knees, and bowed to Liu Bei.
"Why does the third brother need to be like this, on the plain, how can two thousand foot soldiers be the enemy of three thousand elite cavalry, that Tai Shi Ci is the first general in Jiangdong, and the third brother can return safely, I am very fortunate."
Liu Bei stretched out his hand and hugged Zhang Fei to get up, and said excitedly.
"Third brother, that Tai Shi Ci won a fluke today, and if he meets this person another day, he will be killed to vent his hatred."
Guan Yu also spoke.
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was not angry, "Although Tai Shi Ci is brave, he has fought with me for one hundred and fifty times, but he has tried his best, if there is another fifty times, I will be able to cut it under the horse, I only hate his partial general Zhang Cheng, who is actually the commander of the cavalry to charge the battle, most of our army are new soldiers who have been trained for several months, how can they be the enemy" Liu Bei glanced at Jian Yong, who came in embarrassment and raised his hand towards him, and also bowed his head slightly, and looked up at the soldiers behind him, two thousand horse infantry troops, only more than five hundred people fled back.
He was miserable in his heart, he had been fighting for more than ten years, and when he was at the peak of his command, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xuzhou, but now it is still difficult to have a place to live.
Not far from the "report", a sentry rode in the dust.
"Newspaper" went to the front, the sentry rider turned over and dismounted neatly, and bowed to Liu Bei, "Report to the lord, scout to report, Jiangdong general Lu Meng, led an army of 20,000, crossed the Huaishui to the north, and killed Xiaqiu." ” Liu Bei's complexion changed slightly, and then, another horse came with the dust and smoke, "Report to the lord, not long ago Xuyi was in an emergency, and Ji Ning, the old general of Yuan Shu, led an army of 5,000 and sent troops to Xuyi." ” "Lord, our army must withdraw quickly, now our army has been at war with the Jiangdong army, that Ji Ling and the lord have old grudges, if it is captured by Xuyi, it can be shortened but our army's back road, if Tai Shici then takes advantage of the situation to lead the army north, our army will be in the south of Huaishui, into the Jiangdong tens of thousands of troops encircled."
Sun Qian immediately took a step forward to report.
Liu Bei was anxious, but he still glanced at Chen Deng not far away with concern, "Yuanlong, now that our army has strong enemies in the north and south, and the strength of our army is five or six times that of our army, what should I do?"
Chen Deng raised his hand, and sneered in his heart, "Liu Xuande, until now, you still have that benevolent and righteous face. ” "I'm just an envoy of the commonplace, this is a guest general in the army, and I should obey the order of the envoy."
Chen Deng didn't know where he was, he just spoke by himself, and he completely offended Liu Xuande, he opened his mouth to ask himself, in fact, it was not necessary, he just wanted to set a trap for himself, if he still insisted on leading the army to attack Guangling, I am afraid that he would decisively give himself a thousand soldiers and horses, and let him go to death.
"Liu Bei, you can definitely do this kind of thing."
Chen Deng sneered in his heart.
"That being the case, then our army immediately went north, galloped to the aid of Xuyi, Yun Chang, and ordered you to be the vanguard, leading the uncle to the light cavalry of the department first, in addition, Zilong" Liu Bei glanced around, and suddenly did not see Zhao Yun's figure, his face changed slightly, and he immediately opened his mouth to ask, "Where is Zilong" At this time, Chen Zhicai rode his horse to the front, and took out a letter with a face full of shame, "This is Zilong's letter." ” Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to take a look at it, and then his face was full of bitterness.
"I know the meaning of the king, I deeply feel that the king treats me seriously, but this time the cloud went south, but for my brother's illness, I heard that the old Nanyang guarded Zhang Zhongjing, this time in Jiangdong, and with the army of Wu Hou, thought about it again and again, and could only leave with pain."
"My parents have passed away in my early years, if there is no eldest brother to take care of me, I will not be able to successfully reach the crown, and I will not be able to learn art with peace of mind.
"This is Zilong's masterpiece" Guan Yu on the side also glanced at the letter, and said with a slight frown.
"Zilong is loyal and righteous, he will never abandon me, but he doesn't care about thousands of mountains and rivers, since Jizhou, it is his brother's illness, but, with his unsuitable bravery, he can cross thousands of mountains and rivers, that is, there are military disasters, thieves, officials make it difficult, and the chasing soldiers intercept on the way, he can also gallop alone, that Nanyang Zhang Ji, but a weak person, how to accompany him" "Uncle Zhi, immediately send a horse to catch up with Zilong and tell him: If he can find Zhang Ji, he will order a sergeant for him to dispatch, and send him north to return safely."
"Whoa."
Chen Zhi's face was full of gratitude, and he immediately went down to select the horseman
