"Huh?!" Zhang Fei was very surprised. He didn't expect that he would beat Lu Bu away so easily, but Zhang Fei never thought about it! He only thought that it was possible that this family slave with three surnames was afraid of his grandpa Zhang Fei.
"Come on, give me Lao Zhang and send Zhang Xiu to my brother!" Zhang Fei's mission was to save Zhang Xiu, because there might be an emergency situation, so Pang Tong and Liu Bei only took the personal guard battalion for a few miles Outside, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and others were waiting. For Zhang Xiu's safety, Zhang Fei asked his Qingzhou Army to allocate more than half of its troops to protect Zhang Xiu.
"Third general, where are you going?" The lieutenant at the side asked Zhang Fei in a daze. Their mission was to save Zhang Xiu, and other factors were not the main factors.
"My old Zhang is here, so naturally I can't return empty-handed, I have to fight anyway!" Zhang Fei said frankly.
"But the third general, my lord said, save General Yangwu and withdraw immediately." The lieutenant next to him wanted to dissuade Zhang Fei's nonsense.
"Hugh is so long-winded, how can Zhang Fei not understand my brother's words! I am going to meet Uncle Zhi! Retreat with him!" Zhang Fei shouted at the lieutenant general. He also knows how to tell some lies. This sentence helped Chen Dao say His face is not red and his ears are not red.
"But!"
"Get out!" Zhang Fei didn't bother to talk to the lieutenant general and rushed into the battlefield with his personal guards.
"Hey!" The lieutenant general had no choice but to lead his soldiers and horses towards Liu Bei who was several miles away. He couldn't persuade Zhang Fei, so he had to send Zhang Xiu safely to Liu Bei's camp first. , Let’s talk about the next thing later!
"Mr. Xuande, thank you for your kindness. I, Zhang Xiu, have been rescued by Mr. Xuande. I will repay it later!" Zhang Xiu didn't hesitate. His little life was taken by Liu Bei. Without Liu Bei, he might have died on this land, so Zhang Xiu is still very grateful to Liu Bei.
"My dear brother, you don't need to say too much. You are injured. You should go back and rest first. We will discuss it when our army arrives!" Liu Bei also greeted Zhang Xiu, very attentive. I am afraid that even Liu Bei's parents have never enjoyed it. such treatment.
"Thank you, Lord Xuande!" The wound on Zhang Xiu's body was still bleeding and needed to be bandaged. He didn't know why Liu Bei's siege army would appear tens of miles away, but now is not the time to think about these things, now is the time to take care of the wound and rest.
"Hehe!" Looking at Zhang Xiu's leaving figure. Liu Bei's carefulness feels good. This Zhang Xiu is still very useful. Although he was ambushed by Lu Bu now, and the 20,000 troops he brought out were dead and crippled, Zhang Xiu still has a lot of background. He was in Nanyang Wancheng still has soldiers and horses, this is what Liu Bei wants, as long as Zhang Xiu is surrendered. Then those are all his. Zhang Xiu was saved this time, Zhang Xiu must be grateful to him. The time to conquer Zhang Xiu is not far away. With Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses, Liu Bei can also cross the Central Plains again.
"My lord?!" Pang Tong frowned and interrupted Liu Bei's fantasy. "My lord, how strange?!"
"Strange?!" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Pang Tong said, and Pang Tong continued to explain, "My lord, don't you think the rescue went too smoothly?"
"Smooth? Didn't it go well!" Liu Bei was a little surprised, didn't the rescue go smoothly! Do you have to beat them to death, and finally the whole army is wiped out!
"It's because it went so well, so Tong's heart is uneasy!" Pang Tong is not suspicious, but in his opinion, Zhang Fei will go back, and Zhang Fei will have to return with injuries. At least half of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses have lost, but now He came back so soon.
"Shiyuan, don't worry, just call the deputy general of the third brother and ask!" Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei's deputy general to call and ask. The more he said, the deeper the frown of Pang Tong was. Just outrageous.
"What, the third brother went to fight again with the guard camp?!" Liu Bei was a little dissatisfied. Originally, they just left after saving Zhang Xiu and didn't get entangled with Lu Bujun. After all, Liu Bei didn't want to save Zhang Xiu and suffered a heavy loss. , originally thought that Zhang Fei was the queen of the palace, but who knew that he would go up to fight again and help Chen Dao? Chen Dao is holding white-eared heavy armor. Do you need your help
"Not good!" Pang Tong suddenly yelled and poured cold water on Liu Bei's head, "My lord, this Zhangxiu was placed on purpose by Lu Bu!"
…
Pang Tong and Zhang Xiu guessed rightly. Lu Bu was indeed letting Zhang Xiu go on purpose. This time he chased and intercepted Zhang Xiu, and ambushed Zhang Xiu in order to take revenge on behalf of those Bingzhou Wolf Riders who were ambushed and killed half of them in Hefei. For Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu wished to kill him directly, but Chen Gong's words made Lu Bu stop the Sea God Halberd in his hand.
Zhang Xiu is easy to deal with, but he is just a man. Although Jia Xu is an old poison in his hands, Jia Xu is a person who protects himself. That is to say, in order to protect himself, as long as no one touches his interests, he It is impossible for Jia Xu to advise Zhang Xiu. In this way, even if Zhang Xiu has soldiers and horses, it is nothing more than a gang of mobs. Moreover, Zhang Xiu is still a rootless duckweed. He lives in Nanyang County, Wancheng. , Zhang Xiu didn't know how to govern his subordinates at all, and he resorted to military force. All those in Nanyang County who could escape had already fled from Nanyang to Jingzhou. How could they be in Nanyang!
Therefore, it is very simple to deal with Zhang Xiu. As long as you send an army to cut off his food and grass supply or cut off his road to Jingzhou, then Zhang Xiu is basically half disabled. There are only four neighbors next to him. One is Jingzhou, which is his employer, and can be regarded as his half master. Liu Biao in Jingzhou controls Zhang Xiu by using grain and grass to control Zhang Xiu. After all, Zhang Xiu’s Nanyang is not a land of grain production, and Zhang Xiu does not know how to manage it, so it is naturally barren One piece, he has to replace Liu Biao of Jingzhou to guard the northern gate of Jingzhou. If he is not obedient, the supply of food and grass will naturally be reduced. Zhang Xiu has a lot of soldiers and horses in his military hands.
Originally, with the boss Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu should be able to eat enough, but some time ago Zhang Xiu wanted to change jobs and switch to Boss Cao, which made Jingzhou boss Liu Biao very angry. Zhang Xiu's salary is gone!
But Boss Cao is unkind, not only wants to accept Zhang Xiu as a younger brother, but also helps Zhang Xiu take care of his sister-in-law. Naturally, Zhang Xiu quit, and decisively fired Lao Cao's squid, killed Cao Cao's son, Cao Ang, and awarded Wei , it can be said that the feud with Lao Cao has been forged, Zhang Xiu has been so repeated that it is difficult to get the continued support of others, but among the princes there are only interests but no courtesy, justice and shame! So Lu Bu still has to cut off Zhang Xiu's food and grass to kill Zhang Xiu. As for the remaining two leaders, Yuzhou Liu Bei and Hanzhong's Zhang Lu, Yuzhou Liu Bei returned to Yuzhou this time, he consumed Yuzhou's background but got nothing. The root has been hurt, and it is almost enough to be able to protect itself. Although Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has food and grass, the distance is too far. It is so far away that Zhang Xiu has not persisted far, and he may run out of ammunition and food.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu is not difficult to deal with. The one who is difficult to deal with is another person, Liu Bei and Liu Daer, who attacked Yangzhou most vigorously this time. After seeing what happened here, it is impossible for Lu Bu's army to enter Yangzhou to hide Liu Bei, so Chen Gong did not intend to hide it, and let Lu Bu swagger into Yangzhou with Bingzhou wolf riders, and the trapped camp and Taishan army had to rest during the day and night Marching, hiding their whereabouts, Bingzhou wolf cavalry entered Yangzhou, Chen Gong guessed that this time Liu Bei would not pull out his own soldiers to fight the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, this is unrealistic, because no matter what the cavalry is, it will not be ambushed, or the road is not good , can also rely on the high maneuverability of the horse to leave quickly, so if you want to intercept the Bingzhou wolf cavalry so that he does not participate in the Shouchun offensive and defensive battle, then only the Xiliang cavalry can do it.
Chen Gong's original plan was to ambush all the troops of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so the Taishan Army was included in Chen Gong's calculation. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry could be killed, but Zhang Xiu had to be let go, because once Zhang Xiu died, Just relying on Zhang Xiu's two sons and a younger brother in Wancheng, it is impossible to play against his evil neighbor Liu Bei. Liu Bei can annex Zhang Xiujun under the guise of revenge for Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu brought 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry this time, but Zhang Xiu still had more than 10,000 heavy armored cavalry and 20,000 infantry in Wancheng. This is not a small strength. The soldiers and horses falling into the hands of Zhang Xiu are at most a reckless man with a gang of mobs, but once they fall into the hands of Liu Bei, it will be over. Zhang Xiu is just a reckless man easy to deal with, but Liu Bei is a traitor. Now With a counselor like Pang Tong in his hand, it can be said to be even more powerful. The only thing Liu Bei is restricted now is soldiers and horses. Once Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are annexed, Liu Bei and Pang Tong's ability may make the whole Yangzhou uneasy.
So no matter what, Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses in Wancheng must not be handed over to Liu Bei, so Zhang Xiu can't die, at least he can't die before Lu Bujun cleans up Liu Bei. Lu Bu didn't expect that Liu Bei would come to rescue Zhang Xiu. At first, Lu Bu was still thinking about how to let Zhang Xiu go, but now Liu Bei stepped forward and gave a step, and Lu Bu naturally went down the step.
but! Lu Bu looked at the battlefield with a sneer, Zhang Xiu can be let go, and the rest of the Xiliang iron cavalry can also be spared, but this white-eared heavy armored infantry has to stay. Liu Bei's threat to Lu Bu's army is too great up.
And the reason why Liu Bei made a comeback again and again, and resurfaced after failing again and again, and each time he got more than before, besides Liu Bei's luck, there is another reason for this five thousand white-eared heavy armor Because of pawns.
With them, Liu Bei is a force that cannot be underestimated no matter where he is.
Therefore, Lu Bu must destroy this white-eared heavy armored infantry. When he put down Zhang Xiu, he was actually liberating the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, so that they could start besieging the white-eared heavy armored infantry together. . (to be continued..)
