Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 318 One Mountain Cannot Allow Two Tigers

Under the turmoil of his heart, Chang Xi didn't pay attention to the landscape in the courtyard, but hurried past the shadows of flowers and trees under the guidance of his personal guards, but suddenly stopped when he crossed the veranda.

He looked up and looked around.

Although he didn't see any obvious soldiers defending, the instinct from the battlefield, as well as the faintly perceived prying eyes, reminded him at the same time.

Up to this point, there has been a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps. It seems that there is no cover, but in fact the security is very strict.

Chang Xi nodded at the image of loose outside and tight inside, but he was not surprised.

After all, this is Wang Zheng's private residence.

And when he stepped forward again, and finally approached the hall, he saw dozens of guards standing outside the hall, all of them were tall, not to mention wearing armor, and all of them had straight backs and serious faces.

They exude a murderous aura and a brave look, so that Chang Xi couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: this is a real tiger warrior.

And these elite tigers are guarding here, solemnly and silently reminding everyone who comes here with their armor and weapons.
where is this place!
Who is here again!

If Wang Zheng was in another place, it could be said that this place was just a county mansion, the heart of Langya and even the territory of the Heavenly Army, then when this young man returned, there was only one real name for his place.

Handsome account.

He's not in the barracks, he doesn't have flags, gold and iron horses, but he's still full of swords and halberds. He's a terrifyingly handsome guy!
When the steady steps sounded, Chang Xi, who had been sitting upright for a long time, couldn't help but look up.

It was dusk at this time, and in the pale golden twilight, a tall and stalwart young man came striding forward.

This is the Tiangong General!
There is no doubt, just looking at each other, the eyes of the other party are as sharp as knives, and the hidden majesty and domineering, even with a gentle smile on his face, still makes Chang Xi feel the danger and danger at the first time. The deadly, more instinctive pupils shrank suddenly.

He understood immediately.

If there is no smelting of iron and blood, what else in the world can make this young man who can't wait for the weak crown, so young, have such an aura to dominate the world?

And with such a high-ranking weather person like a king, who else can there be in Kaiyang City at this time, outside the king's government?
He stood up abruptly, and then bowed and lowered his head, the movement was so violent that the armor collided and rattled.

"The last general pays homage to General Tiangong!"

"Chang Jun, please get up." It seemed that he had seen Zongjiao alive and kicking again with his own eyes. At this time, Wang Zheng was in a good mood. Although the smile on his face was vague, it seemed very sincere and brilliant.

He personally helped Changxi up, Wang Zheng looked at his face carefully, and praised him, "Mount Tai is indeed a land of outstanding people. Not only is the mountain majestic, but it can also give birth to a mighty hero like Changjun."

Immediately, he glanced at the teacups on the table again, and said apologetically, "The tea is cold."

"It can be seen that I will return late, and I have toiled these heroes to sit for a long time. It is my fault!" He also ordered the maidservant at the side: "Hurry up and serve new tea. The water should not be too hot, nor too cold, just warm."

"promise!"

"Thank you, General." Chang Xi sat down again with a moved face, and first started to find a topic: "The last general heard that the general had gone to Yangzhou before, and even helped Yuan Gonglu to attack Liu Bei, and the soldiers went to Guangling, fighting all the way. They were all victorious, and Guangling City was conquered within ten days, such a force is hard to match even the famous generals of ancient times!"

"Chang-jun is absurd." Wang Zheng waved his hand casually: "If I had known Chang-jun's intentions, Japan would say nothing and would not choose to go to Yangzhou at that time."

Of course, this is just polite talk, not to mention Changxi, even if Lu Bu came to vote at that time, his importance in Wang Zheng's heart may not be as important as Liu Bei.

However, Wang Zheng did not expect that Yu Jin's persuasion to surrender would be so smooth, and Chang Xi's surrender would be so fast.

And even though he knew that Wang Zheng's words were just a deliberate flattery, Chang Xi felt valued even though he was willing to say such a formal scene, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, feeling more and more that his choice that day was right.

Now that this topic was brought up, Wang Zheng simply took the opportunity to get straight to the point, and couldn't help sighing: "Just talking about the trip to Yangzhou, it's still halfway, and it's a pity that it hasn't been fully accomplished!"

"I'm also afraid that I won't die if I beat a snake, and I will inflict harm on myself!"

"The general has already helped Yuan Shu conquer the next county." Although Chang Xi heard this for the first time, he understood it immediately, and persuaded him, "Yangzhou Mu is stronger than Liu Bei, let alone now that he has another county. A few days ago, Xi heard that a great battle had just taken place in Huai Ling City. Yuan Jun was victorious and Liu Jun was defeated. The main general Guan Yu also retreated hastily and retreated to Xiapi. , and went down to three cities in seven days, and now the soldiers are approaching Xiapi city."

"If Xiapi loses again, relying solely on Donghai County, Liu Bei will not be able to last long, and he will be defeated and die!"

What, Guan Yu lost?

Wang Zheng was greatly surprised, he couldn't help looking at Chang Xi in amazement, he was silent for a while, and then he smiled and said, "I never thought that Mr. Chang was so well informed."

"The general will not know about this matter, but you already know it like the back of your hand."

"Although Xi is reckless, he also knows the reason why the master is worried about his ministers." Chang Xi said seriously: "I know that the general attaches great importance to Liu Bei, and I have to pay special attention to Xuzhou's movements. Fortunately, I have lived for more than ten years and have nothing else to do. There are a lot of old friends, and under the exchange of what we need, if there is any disturbance around us, we can indeed detect it early."

"Now that the general knows about this, he must be at ease."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng shook his head, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chang, this matter is a bit strange."

"The news will never be wrong." Seeing that Wang Zheng didn't believe it, Chang Xi's expression turned a little ugly, and he immediately said firmly:
"The last general is willing to guarantee the head of the project!"

"Mr. Chang misunderstood." Seeing his face change instantly, Wang Zheng laughed dumbly: "What I mean is not that your news is inaccurate. The outcome of the Battle of Huai Ling may be as the general said, just."

Having said this, Wang Zheng paused, took a sip of the tea soup, and said to Chang Xi word by word: "Soldiers, tricky!"

"The meaning of the general." Chang Xi was taken aback.

"I suspect this is Liu Beixing's plan to cheat." Wang Zheng snorted coldly, "To lure Yuan Jun into his ears!"

People in later generations like Wang Zheng naturally know that the Three Kingdoms did not have Han Xinbaiqi's long-term victorious and invincible national scholar. Liu Bei didn't say that he was chased around by people in the first half of his life. And Guan Yu also lost to Maicheng.

It's just that no matter what, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Pan Zhang and others who defeated the two brothers are all not ordinary people, so they can be famous in history.

Tigers just take a nap, and the only ones who can sneak up and pick up cheap ones are jackals, tigers and leopards, and they have nothing to do with ants.

So what are Yuan Yin and Qiao Rui? What are they cats and dogs?
Especially Yuan Yin and Yan Xiang, Wang Zheng had worked together before, and he knew very well that he was capable, and military affairs were not Yan Xiang's forte, and Yuan Yin was even more of a fool.

As for Qiao Rui, he is even worse than Yan Xiang and Ji Ling, and I have never heard of it.

The combination of these people, even if they could really defeat Guan Yu by relying on their superiority in military strength and resources, shouldn't it be so fast?

What's more, before that, Guan Yu had won consecutive victories, and the morale of the army was booming.

"It's really surprising that the general said that." After thinking for a while, Chang Xi nodded slowly: "It's not impossible to pretend to be defeated."

"Anyway, this is good news." At this moment, Wang Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and immediately jumped up, staring at Chang Xi with burning eyes.

"If it is really defeated, it would be great!"

"And if it's not bad, it's Liu Beixing's plan to swindle defeat, so he will cover it up more carefully to prevent Yuan Jun from discovering the clues, lest the swindle defeat to lure the enemy will become a real defeat instead!"

"Careful to cover it up, you will know the enemy and you will be very few." Wang Zheng clapped his hands and smiled lightly, muttering to himself: "Then Donghai and Xiapi at this time, without knowing the truth, must have people's hearts fluttering and morale low!"

"The general is attacking Yuan Jun left and right, completely cutting off Liu Bei's life?"

Chang Xi felt that he had guessed Wang Zheng's intentions, and felt that he needed to take this opportunity to show his loyalty, so he also stood up and said loudly: "The last general has been in the army for a long time, and I often regret that I have not accomplished an inch of merit, so I cannot repay the general's high expectations."

"If the general wants to send troops to the East China Sea and Xiapi, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

"Haha." Wang Zheng glanced at Chang Xi with admiration, and said with a smile, "I am very happy that Mr. Chang has such a courageous heart."

"Don't lie to the general."

He personally walked down the hall, came to Chang Xi, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him solemnly: "I really want to ask Mr. Chang to help me, so as not to get rid of this powerful enemy!"

As he said that, Wang Zheng glanced at the sky outside Tangtang, and his tone was emotional.

"It is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

"Although Xuzhou is big, Liu Bei and I cannot coexist after all."

Xuzhou, Donghai County, Tan County.

"Xiapi army urgent report!"

"Three days ago, Yuan Jun captured Xiaxiang City, and now it is less than a hundred miles away from Xiapi!"

"Guan Sima has something to say. I would like to abide by the order of the prefectural animal husbandry. No matter how Yuan Jun yells and scolds and provokes, he will never fight, just show weakness!"

"What's going on in the battle ahead, let's talk about it one by one!"

"promise!"

After listening to the messenger's report, the state shepherd Liu Bei stood up and paced quickly in the hall, his mind was spinning, and he had already made a decision.

Yuan Jun is now at the position he envisioned!

And now, the time has come!

Noticing that the two messengers in the hall were covered in dust and tired faces, Liu Bei first encouraged him warmly: "You are all meritorious people who have been running around for days, so let's go down and have a good rest first."

After the two resigned, Liu Bei's soft side disappeared in an instant. His face was sinking like water, his sword eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were shining brightly, revealing the true color of the future Emperor Zhaolie.

"Decree!" He shouted to the guard outside the door: "Within half an hour, all civil and military officials in the city will gather here!"

"promise!"

Call the general, and not long after, the city of Tan County was full of hustle and bustle, and there were little fires everywhere.

Regardless of the general Wenru, or riding alone, or leading three or four soldiers, they quickly gathered at the same place from all directions, and the horseshoes that came one after another beat on the stone floor, making a rapid hoofbeat, and completely broke the silence. A peaceful summer night.

In just the effort of a cup of tea, all the officers above Dubo arrived.

At this time, Liu Bei sat calmly in the main seat in the lobby, but his official uniform was replaced by armor, not to mention the full-length drape, and he was no longer as graceful and gentle as usual.

Still so comfortable to wear!
With such emotions, after the generals saluted, Liu Bei stood up, pressed his sword and looked around, with a sonorous and forceful tone:

"Bei just got the military report!"

"Yuan Jun has captured Xiaxiang City, and it is less than a hundred miles away from the main city of Xiapi!"

The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

The big man immediately took half a step forward and shouted loudly: "Tie Yuan is tricked! If you go so deep into my territory, you will kill yourself!"

"Brother, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be let go!"

It was Zhang Fei.

"My lord." At this moment, Mi Zhu thought for a while and asked, "How many troops are there in the Yuan army who is now approaching the city of Xiapi?"

"Yuan Jun's three routes converge, plus the reinforcements sent by Yuan Hou." Liu Bei stared at Mi Zhu, and said in a deep voice: "According to what the sentry cavalry said, there are now a total of [-] infantry and [-] cavalry!"

so much?
When everyone gasped, Zhang Fei snorted heavily: "How can Yangzhou rats with less than [-] people be vulnerable!"

"Brother, I would like to be a striker. I only need [-] warriors. With the joint efforts of my second brother, I will kill all the invading thieves and restore my peace in Xuzhou!"

Zhang Fei was the first to ask for a battle, not only because he was naturally brave and fond of fighting, but also because he missed a major event a few days ago because he drank too much. Guangling slumped for thousands of miles, directly allowing Yuan Jun to drive straight in, and completely captured the entire county.

Therefore, it is even more humiliating to take the crime and make meritorious service. Zhang Fei could not wait to have wings at this time, and immediately flew to Xiapi to fight the enemy with Guan Yu.

At this time, someone on the side raised an objection.

"Guan, the two generals Zhang are truly brave." The man said: "But at this time there are only five or six thousand people in Xiapi, and the number of people brought by Zhang Sima is just over 6000. They are facing several times their own strength. It is not easy to win the enemy, but how difficult it is to kill them all!"

The implication of these words was immediately understood by everyone.

If Yuan Shu could be given a head-on blow with the certainty of endlessly punishing these troops, causing his vitality to be seriously injured, then this strategy of luring the enemy to go deep would not be successful!

In the final analysis, Yuan Gonglu's background is too strong.

"That's right." Another person also agreed: "Before, the Guan Sima formation killed the enemy generals and caused the enemy to collapse. How brave? What is the result?"

"In just a few days, Yuan Shu dispatched another general and reinforcements, gathered up the remaining defeated soldiers a little bit, and there will be another mighty army of [-] people!"

"If this stalemate continues to consume, our generals and soldiers are capable of fighting, but the supply of food and grass will not be able to support such a large-scale battle several times."

"There is one more thing that must be observed."

At this time, Mi Zhu on the side took the initiative to step out, pointed to the west, and reminded everyone: "The tens of thousands of yellow scarf bandits occupying Langya and Pengcheng also need to be careful!"

"You mean Wangzheng?" Zhang Feibao stared wide-eyed, full of murderous intent:
"I can't wait to use this scorpion's courage to let him come here to die!"
