The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 251 The ruthless Liu Bei welcomes the emperor!

"Brother Wen Yue misunderstood, and ordered the three armies to speed up through this valley."

Liu Bei gave up, but under the night, a cold light flashed in his pupils, with a bit of killing intent in it. He had wanted to kill Han Sui a long time ago, but he had no chance.

Han Sui was not dead, and he was in trouble for a day.

Of course, his emotions and anger are not visible, although he wants to kill Han Sui, but on the surface he calls him brothers, but Han Sui is the same.

As if, two old cunts collided together.

And this time when he left the pass, Liu Bei wanted to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Han Sui. As long as he could kill him, it would not be difficult for him to completely control the pass.

At the same time as he thought, the cavalry had already rushed to the valley.

Drive, drive.

Thousands of Xiliang soldiers didn't notice anything wrong, they galloped on horses with swords and guns in hand.

However, on both sides of the hill, the corners of Xu Huang's mouth curled up into a sneer. Sure enough, as Military Master Xun You said, Liu Bei really caught up.

If they hadn't come to set up an ambush, I'm afraid Liu Bei would lead these iron cavalry to flatten their camping position tonight. After all, wild infantry are no match for iron cavalry.

What's more, they camped without a camp.

"General, when will you do it?" On one side, the general said nervously.

"Don't worry, send an order to the three armies, and wait for me to raise the fire." Xu Huang raised his hand to signal that he was not in a hurry, but there were many traps in front of him.

In the valley, there are also some fire starters all over the place.

After running for a few miles, just as he was about to rush out of the valley, he heard a scream in front of the cavalry, accompanied by a rumbling crash, which was heart-piercing.

It was a horse trap, and countless horses had their legs broken.

Before Liu Bei and others came back to their senses, countless torches were instantly raised on the hills on both sides, and at the same time, more and more fire arrows were ignited in the dark night.

Those rockets are so dense that the scalps of those who watch them feel numb.

"No, I've been tricked, hurry up, withdraw!"

Liu Bei was the first to react. He had already drawn out his double swords, and his whole body tensed up.

"Fire the arrows!" Liu Bei had just finished shouting, and countless raindrops of arrows fell from the hills on both sides, let alone shooting and killing the cavalry, the key point was that the fire arrows instantly ignited the fire starter.

"boom!"

The fire soared into the sky, and half the valley was ignited in an instant.

Looking at the pervasive fire, Liu Bei was a little dumbfounded, with a slightly panicked expression.

At this time, he could only keep waving the double-pronged sword in his hand to block the arrows. The distance between the hills and the valleys was not too close, and most of the arrows were already exhausted.

Falling on the defenseless armored soldier, it was somewhat hurt, but Liu Bei was wearing armor, and there was a bloodstain on his cheek.

"Don't make a mess, don't make a mess!" In the distance, Liu Bei could vaguely hear Ma Teng shouting there, but most animals are afraid of fire, especially this kind of raging fire.

"Brother, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, what should we do now." Zhang Feiheng's spear stopped Liu Bei's side, and the hair around his face was scorched a lot.

At this moment, he was terrified, looking around and drinking violently.

Liu Bei was equally irritable, especially in the entire valley, where countless soldiers screamed, and more of them were painful moans, which were heart-piercing and creepy.

Liu Bei was anxious, he glanced left and right, his whole body was trembling, why, why was he so stupid, and fell into Cao Cao's trick again?

Moreover, at this moment, the fire has sealed the entire valley. Judging from the situation, thousands of them will be buried in the sea of ​​flames within half an hour at most.

Seeing that he will be able to dominate the Guanzhong, and sooner or later he will be able to help the Han family, but why did God make such a joke with him again?He is not reconciled, really not reconciled.

However, as the fire grew longer, the surrounding scenery became clearer and clearer. Although the hills on both sides were lush and green, they were not steep, otherwise these arrows would not be unable to shoot them.

Scanning along the hills on both sides, Liu Bei's eyes tightened, and he shouted anxiously: "Everyone listen to the order, follow me over the wall of fire, rush up the hills, avoid the fire, and fight Cao Jun in blood."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the reins of the horse and pierced the horse's hindquarters with his double sword. Immediately, the horse neighed and galloped towards the slightly sloping hill.

Approaching the wall of fire, the war horse jumped up, fell steadily, and then moved forward with some difficulty.

For a moment, Liu Beijun, who was about to be covered by the sea of ​​flames, seemed to see the hope of life, and ignored the fire walls on both sides, jumped over and rushed up the hill.

"General, they are rushing up."

Xu Huang narrowed his eyes, looking at the cavalry rushing forward, he slowly drew out his sharp blade, and said coldly: "The mere remnant soldiers are nothing to worry about."

"The archers are ready, shoot and kill the enemy cavalry for me, I want to see what kind of prestige this group of defeated soldiers will have."

Saying that, those archers stopped shooting the remnant soldiers in Qiugu, and by the light of the fire, they all aimed at the cavalry who rushed up.

Just listening to 咻咻咻, bursts of arrows shot out.

Immediately, many cavalry fell off their horses, and their life and death were unknown.

"Damn it!" Liu Bei pushed aside the arrows vigilantly while looking at the surrounding battle situation. The situation was not optimistic. Even if he rushed to the top at this time, he would not have any advantage.

After all, iron cavalry on the plains can give full play to their greatest advantages.

"Brother, don't worry, watch me, Zhang Fei, charge up and poke these bastards into a hundred transparent holes." Zhang Fei was so angry that he wanted to speed up.

"Third brother, don't be impulsive." Liu Bei shouted anxiously, he knew that there was nothing to do, and he should rush back to Tongguan as soon as possible, just in case.

"Third brother, quickly follow me to the side path, we retreat to Tongguan, Tongguan is where the foundation of my three brothers is, there must be no loss."

As he spoke, he led dozens of guards and ran towards the distance on a gentle slope. Zhang Fei glanced at the top of the hill, gritted his teeth resentfully, turned and left.

Along the way, more than a hundred riders rushed out with Liu Bei.

After rushing out of the valley, Liu Bei reined in his horse and stood up.

Looking back, I saw that the sea of ​​flames was still burning, and I don't know how many soldiers were buried in it, and even said that the smell of cooked meat faintly wafted in the air.

If you don't know, there may be a bit of burnt smell, but when you think that these are people, you can't help but retch after smelling this smell.

Behind him, more than a hundred cavalry all looked indifferent, a little unsure of joy and sorrow, perhaps the expression of the rest of their lives after a catastrophe.

As for Liu Bei, his muddy and deep pupils made it hard to see what he was thinking, maybe he was worrying about what happened just now, but there was a sharp flash of sternness in the depths of those pupils.

Eight thousand cavalry, almost all of them are folded here.

And these eight thousand cavalry belonged to the princes in Guanzhong, and had nothing to do with him. However, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Candidates, Cheng Yin and others were also missing during the fire.

"Phew, I hope they all die in it." Liu Bei secretly said something, and immediately turned his head. If these people really died here, it would be extremely beneficial for him to control Guanzhong.

"Withdraw!" Liu Bei said coldly.

Immediately, he was ashamed and led the army to retreat.

The hundred or so riders behind him were also silent and retreated westward one after another, but the hunchbacked figure looked a little lonely, which made people sigh.

Fifth watch, outside Tongguan.

Xiahou Dun served as the allied army of the Guanzhong princes, and he was even mixed in the team. At this time, a group of hundreds of cavalry came back in a bit of a mess, and held several general flags.

"Who is guarding the city tonight, we are waiting for General, General Cheng, General Ma's subordinates, don't let us pass quickly." The leader shouted in Xiliang dialect.

The guard at the top of the city frowned slightly, a little suspicious.

Didn't they go out of town?Is it a trick?It looks a bit similar, and these people are under the command of various generals, so they can't tell the difference.

"Where are General Hou, General Cheng, and General Ma? Why are you the only ones back?" The guard frowned and shouted loudly.

"Cao's army was treacherous and set up an ambush on the way. Our army suffered heavy casualties. The generals have long since disappeared. I am afraid that they have already died in the chaos."

That department will answer with a high drink.

"Cao Jun set up an ambush?" The guard hesitated, "So, wait for you later, and I will report to join the army."

"Hmph, are you Liu Bei's subordinates? How dare you even stop us? And the enemy army is right behind. If you dare to stop me later, I will punish you severely after I enter the city."

The general snorted coldly.

"Uh, this..." the guard hesitated, but at this moment, a torch was flying in the distance, although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see a lot of cavalry.

Indistinctly, countless fighting sounds could be heard.

"Also, is there really someone chasing and killing?" The guard was stunned.

"Why don't you open the city gate quickly? If something happens to me, you won't be able to bear the charge." The general of Xiliang Department shouted, and hundreds of people behind him shouted loudly.

"In this way, the matter is urgent. You go and gather the city guards and let them enter the customs first, but you are ready to drive them out at any time. I will report to join the army."

After guarding the expediency, he still chose to compromise.

But before he could finish speaking, Guan Ping, who was at the age of a weak crown, came striding forward. His brows were heroic, like Guan Yu's. Looking at the hundreds of soldiers gathered in the city, Guan Ping immediately frowned.

"I have seen General Guan. Under the city are the subordinates of several generals such as Ma, Hou, and Cheng. It is said that the lord was ambushed and all three armies were lost. They escaped by luck."

"Look, general, there are still quite a few chasing soldiers behind, do you want to let them in first?" the guard asked in a low voice.

"Put it in? Are you responsible for something?" Guan Ping snorted coldly without thinking, then he looked at the hundreds of people far below the city, frowning slightly.

He has been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child, and his eyes are quite vicious. With the help of the firelight, he can clearly see that the expressions of these people are not really escaped from death.

Rather, be wary of dikes.

That hand is almost all around the blade, as long as an accident happens at the first moment, they can draw their swords and fight. This is by no means an ordinary soldier, it must be an elite soldier.

"Tiger and leopard rider?" Guan Ping murmured. I'm afraid this is Cao Cao's plan to lure Liu Bei out of the city on purpose, so that he can send someone to go to Tongguan city gate.

"These people are not soldiers from Xiliang. They were probably sent by Cao Cao to tell the brothers that they are ready to shoot and kill these thieves at any time."

Guan Ping said almost firmly.

"Not Xiliang soldiers?" The guard was stunned for a moment, then swallowed hard.

Guan Ping didn't pay attention to this person, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Everyone, robes, there is a strict order to join the army tonight, no one is allowed to open the gate of the city."

"Why don't you take shelter under the city wall first, and I'll send someone to report to join the army. In addition, I will let the archers of the city head prepare, and welcome you into the city after Cao Jun's iron cavalry leaves, okay?"

The words fell, and the air froze instantly.

Both sides can feel the solidification of the air.

In the army formation, Xiahou Dun hesitated, this Guan Ping was really disgusting, but they couldn't get close to the city, just when he was about to send an order to attack.

Guan Ping yelled violently, "Fire the arrow!"

Huh, huh huh!

All of a sudden, countless archers stood up from behind the city wall, their fingers that had already been ready to shoot loosened one after another, and arrows shot out.

"Withdraw," Xiahou Dun shouted immediately.

At this time, a strong attack is almost impossible, so he can only retreat.

After leaving more than ten corpses behind, he fled in embarrassment and mixed with the more than 2000 cavalry that had been killed.

Looking at the towering Tongguan Pass in the distance, Xiahou Dun's expression was gloomy, and he was only one step away. As long as the man opened the city gate just now, the pass would be his.

"Damn it!" Xiahou Dun cursed secretly.

Now that the opportunity has been lost, these iron cavalry are useless at all, so they can only retreat one after another at the moment, and then think of a way.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Tongguan unwillingly, and immediately led the army and disappeared into the night.

On the top of the wall, Guan Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was careful, otherwise Tongguan would not be safe, worried that Xiahou Dun would go and return, Guan Ping had been staying vigil.

It's dawn, and the morning dawn shimmers.

Guan Ping was a little tired, but when he was about to go down the city wall, Liu Bei led more than a hundred riders not far away and indeed returned, but he looked a little embarrassed.

"My lord, this is"

Liu Bei didn't pay attention to Guan Ping, but glanced left and right, and said anxiously: "Nephew, is there anyone else back besides me?"

Guan Ping shook his head puzzled, and said again: "However, Cao Jun sent someone here last night, as if he wanted to gain access to the city gate, but I saw through it."

Liu Bei panicked again, fortunately.

"Nephew, I'm sorry to trouble you and stay here. Whenever you meet the princes from all walks of life in the pass, you will directly bring people to kill me with knives, and say that these people are colluding with Cao Cao."

Liu Bei said with a grim expression.

"Collusion with Cao Cao?" Guan Ping was a little suspicious.

"Okay, let's do it, especially Han Sui, if he comes back, he must be killed." Liu Bei's voice was sonorous, "As for Ma Teng, he can save his life."

Relatively speaking, Ma Teng has much less ambition. If he stays long enough, he can better control the pass for him, but I don't know if these people have escaped.

"En," Guan Ping nodded solemnly.

Although he didn't know what happened, his father said that he must obey Liu Bei's orders.

After entering the customs, Liu Bei immediately summoned the remaining powerful ministries to discuss matters. At the same time, Liu Bei made it clear that Han Sui and other vendors were seeking glory, intending to annex these ministries.

Near noon, Xiangyang City, Jingzhou.

And on this day, the outside of Xiangyang City was extremely lively.

Zhang Xiu and his civil and military officials all went out of the city to greet them, the scene was extremely grand, and the object of greeting was the current emperor.

Before that, when Zhang Xiu knew that Yi Ji persuaded Dong Cheng to bring the emperor to Jingzhou, he really didn't even think about it. Before that, he just wanted to sanction Cao Cao and rectify his name.

This is good, the real thing came directly.

And from now on, Zhang Xiu is the one who obeys the emperor's order and refuses to be a minister. It's just that Zhang Xiu is a good person, so he won't do the kind of thing that imprisons the emperor and kills the concubine.

Heck, he's a nice guy.

A good guy who likes to compare the size and explore the depth.
