Xuande

Chapter 566 Yuan Benchu, You Are A Complete Coward
Yuan Shao's biggest mistake was failing to kill Gongsun Zan before Liu Bei arrived, and he himself thought so. As for the defeat of the Xianbei cavalry, in Yuan Shao's view, it was the stupidity of Suli and Mijia.

If you want to pretend to be aggressive without strength, then you can only let them accept the cruel reality.

Still want to ask me how many counties more territory?

Well now, my life is gone.

Yuan Shao thought these two bastards were funny, but when he witnessed Liu Bei's army, he suddenly felt that Su Li and Mi Jia were not as stupid as he imagined.

At most, it is a bit weak.

Really, compared with the all-round armored army led by Liu Bei, including Yuan Benchu, Mi Jia and Su Li, it is really a bit weak.

At least, they can't guarantee that even the "cannon fodder" in front-line combat is fully armed to the teeth. Even these cannon fodder are armored and well-equipped, and the array on the battlefield is very neat. A sharp look.

Suli and Mijia were beaten to annihilation by such an army?
Tian Feng looked at the powerful army he saw in front of him in shock. He felt that his impression of the army would change for a long time.

He never thought that the army was so tidy and terrifying. In his eyes, the big soldiers were just a group of beasts who couldn't get enough to eat. The word elite always belonged to a few people.

Only a few people around Yuan Shao could have such fine armor.

But when so many soldiers who wrote the word "elite" on their bodies stood neatly in front of him and kept quiet without saying a word, Tian Feng felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.

He looked around, and from the eyes of the people around him, he could see that this kind of fear should not be unique to him.

"General, Liu Thief's army is very elite, we must be careful."

Qu Yi, who was in charge of front-line hand-to-hand combat, saw Liu Bei's army with an ugly expression on his face. He suggested to Yuan Shao that the commander should retreat a little, preferably to a safer position suitable for escape.

Otherwise, he felt that when the former army collapsed, Yuan Shao would not have time to escape.

When he was defeated and fled back to the camp before, Yuan Shao didn't blame him again, or the news of the annihilation of Suli and Mijia's entire army had actually shocked Yuan Shao, making Yuan Shao understand that Qu Yi didn't lose on purpose.

Really can't beat it.

So instead of blaming Qu Yi, he placed him on the front line again, asking him to lead the infantry formation to challenge Liu Bei's infantry formation, and then he arranged for generals Han Meng and Lu Xiang to lead the cavalry to attack Liu Bei's formation. On the left wing, arrange for generals Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu to lead a part of the cavalry to attack the right wing of Liu Bei's formation.

In addition, he arranged for General Lu Kuang to continue to lead troops to encircle Zhuoxian County, attack and suppress Gongsun Zan, and try not to let Gongsun Zan successfully leave the city to join Liu Bei, forming a situation of two sides attacking.

He himself stays with Tian Feng, commanding the most elite part of the Chinese army, as the last decisive existence on the battlefield, he will use himself as the general of the Chinese army, and when necessary, personally command the army to attack and fight Liu Bei to the death.

Tian Feng objected to this.

"As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, you shouldn't take such a risk. Please give me the command of the central army. You can lead the rear army to hold the line. In times of crisis, you can also withdraw from the battlefield and join Wuhuan to restore the flag. drum."

Yuan Shao shook his head.

"Facing such a dangerous situation, a man, how can he abandon the army and flee? If I abandon the army, how can the army fight to the death for me? You see, Liu Bei's commander-in-chief is in his army, and he is not afraid of danger. How can you be afraid of danger?"

Tian Feng shook his head.

"Liu Bei's army is very elite. He is under the protection of absolute security. It is difficult for our troops to threaten his central army, but the general is different. This is a very dangerous thing. If the general is attacked, it will damage the morale of the army. It is a serious blow!"

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng helplessly.

It's this time, and you still say such heart-wrenching words?

Tian Feng seemed completely unaware of how heart-wrenching his words were, or he was aware of it, but he didn't have that kind of thought. The tense battlefield had already made this man who had no EQ give up his EQ directly.

At this tense moment, a cavalryman with a banner suddenly ran out from Liu Bei's army on the opposite side, and approached Yuan Shao's army alone on his own.

He brought news of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei wanted to set up a table in the middle of the two armies, get a jug of wine, drink with Yuan Shao, and catch up on the old days.

After Yuan Shao got the news, he frowned.

"What does Liu Bei want to do?"

"Delay for time? Isn't that necessary?"

Tian Feng also frowned: "He may have some conspiracy, the general should not go."

"Hmph, I don't believe he can have any conspiracy!"

Yuan Shao said coldly: "He invited me, if I don't go, wouldn't I be afraid of him? Even if Yuan Benchu ​​is at the end of his rope, he will definitely not be afraid of Liu Xuande!"

Having said that, Yuan Shao sent someone to report back to Liu Bei, saying that he was willing to accept Liu Bei's invitation to drink and reminisce about the past.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Shao arrived at the place invited by Liu Bei under the escort of his general Su You. He saw Liu Bei sitting on the seat with a smile and stretched out his hand to invite him to sit down.

Standing beside him was a handsome young general in white robe, who was eyeing Yuan Shao covetously.

After Yuan Shao sat down, Su You also stood aside, staring at Zhao Yun, not to be outdone.

"Liu Xuande, didn't you invite me here just for a drink?"

Yuan Shao poured himself a glass of wine, and Liu Bei, who just got up to pour wine for Yuan Shao, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and sat back in his seat.

"Why, in Yuan Benchu's eyes, Liu Xuande is the kind of person who insists on having some purpose no matter what he does? I never do things without purpose?"

"do not you?"

Yuan Shao took a sip of the wine: "I even suspect that you have poisoned the wine."

"I won't do such a bad thing."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "You know it too, so you drink it."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Yuan Shao put down his wine glass and stared at Liu Bei: "You want to capture and kill me here?"

Yuan Shao looked at the young general in white robe, and said with a sneer, "Then you brought a little less people."

"I didn't even carry a weapon, I wouldn't do such a thing."

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "Thinking of the past when we used to drink and dance together, and plan to deal with eunuchs together, I feel that at least at that time, we were still friends, so this last drink should be drunk, which is different from Yuan Gonglu , He was never my friend, so when I killed him, I killed him very simply."

"Don't mention that idiot again, it's embarrassing to Yuan Shi."

Yuan Shao sneered and said: "Do you think you can kill me so easily? I still have [-] to [-] troops, and I won't be defeated so easily by you. Liu Xuande, don't think that you are the number one general of the big man. will be afraid of you."

"No, no."

Liu Bei shook his head again and again: "At the beginning, I didn't intend to kill you here. I wanted to capture you, send you to Luoyang, and then kill you so that you can live a few more days and eat more food." It’s time to eat, drink a few more wines, but now, I decided to kill you on the battlefield, so that you won’t even be able to eat your next meal.”

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao said coldly, "You hate me that much?"

"It was okay before, but this time you joined forces with Xianbei people and Wuhuan people to ravage Youzhou. You really made a big mistake."

Liu Bei sneered and said: "We fight by ourselves, without others, I can control the war losses, I absolutely believe in the military discipline of my army, but you just called the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people here, I heard, They ravaged most of the counties and counties in Youzhou, and Youzhou was smashed to pieces."

"So what? Isn't it nice?"

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "When I think of destroying your hometown, killing your villagers, and making you suffer, I will be very happy. If you make you suffer, my goal will be achieved."

"You should direct your anger at me, vent on me, and try your best to kill me, instead of ravaging Youzhou."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "The brave are angry and draw their knives at the stronger ones. The cowardly are angry and draw their knives at the weaker ones. Yuan Benchu, you are a coward through and through."

"What did you say?"

Yuan Shao's complexion changed suddenly: "Even if Yuan Benchu ​​died here today, he would never frown, and he would never turn around and run away! Am I a coward?"

"You are a coward, otherwise, why don't you want to bring troops to kill Luo Yang and me, but want to ravage Youzhou?"

Liu Bei sighed, and said with emotion: "Since I started, I can say that every enemy I dealt with is a strong person in the eyes of outsiders. When I dealt with them, no one thought that I would definitely win.

This is how the Lujiang rebels were like, like the eunuchs, like the Jinwen School, like the Yellow Turban Army, like the Liangzhou rebels, like the Qiang people, like the Xianbei people, He Jin and Yuan Kui The same is true of the alliance.

My enemies have never been considered weaker than me, and I have always fought against such opponents, until I became a general, a recognized strong man in the world, and I never bullied the weak.

Yuan Benchu, how about you?Who are you dealing with?Besides me, how many times have you dealt with someone stronger than you and your family?Have you faced them face to face and fought with your life?

No, never, you either hide behind the scenes, or stay away from the control of the battlefield, until now, you have to face me head-on, are you a brave man?No, Yuan Benchu, you are a coward through and through. "

"Liu Xuande!!!"

Yuan Shao slapped the table and glared angrily: "I am a coward? You killed my whole family, my wife and children, how dare you call me a coward?!"

"In this matter, I am a loyal minister, and you are rebellious. The nature is different."

Liu Bei poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

"I originally thought that you were somewhat heroic and would not do things that would break through the bottom line, but I was wrong, Yuan Benchu, I am very disappointed in you, so I am not going to give you a decent way to die, you are not worthy."

"Okay, you can try and see if I crush you to death, or you kill me."

Yuan Shao stood up suddenly and walked back.
