The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 253
Guan Yu retreated quickly. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that Zhang Fei was still in love with fighting. He knew that Zhang Fei was a very belligerent person, and he would not retreat easily even if the winner was not clear. What are you doing, retreat quickly, there will be a chance to fight in the future, come with me!"

"Damn Li Tong, I, Mr. Zhang Fei, will fight you again in the future!" Zhang Fei felt unwilling, and gave Li Tong a hard look, and then retreated with Guan Yu.

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to retreat, Li Yuan waved his weapon in pursuit immediately, "The generals of the three armies obey the order, and the flying cavalry army is about to arrive. Chase Liu Bei with all their strength, and don't let them escape!"

Tai Shici and Li Tong led troops and horses to pursue Liu Bei's rear army. Li Yuan, Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong also led large troops to keep up. If Liu Bei can be killed now, there will be one less disaster in the future.

Li Yuan's army was killing loudly, and kept chasing and killing Liu Bei who was trying to escape. Liu Bei's rear army had been killed by Tai Shici and Li Tong, and they were defeated. At this moment, they only hated their parents for losing two legs. run so slow.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei closely guarded Liu Bei. They had to ensure Liu Bei's safety. If they couldn't keep Liu Bei, it wouldn't make sense for them to go back to Jiangxia.

"Guan Yu, are you afraid of me, Tai Shici? Why do you run away every time!" Seeing that he could not catch up with Guan Yu, Tai Shici had no choice but to shout from behind, hoping to anger Guan Yu and make him come back to fight again.

Guan Yu's face showed anger, his right hand was tightly holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and even his veins were bulging. It can be seen that he was very angry, but he was still very clear-headed, and he was not dazzled by anger because of Tai Shici's provocation.

"Tai Shici is really deceiving people too much, second brother, I'll teach him a lesson for you!" Second brother Guan couldn't stand it anymore, and Mr. Zhang couldn't bear it anymore. After speaking, he wanted to turn around and fight Tai Shici.

"Third Brother, don't pay attention to him. It's just Tai Shici's provocative method. If you turn around, you will be fooled." Guan Yu grabbed Zhang Fei, and with Zhang Fei's character, he would really run back to fight Tai Shici. There are so many horses and fierce generals like a cloud, no matter how powerful Zhang Fei is, he can't win.

Liu Guanzhang and the others didn't dare to kill how many soldiers behind them, and ran away towards Jiang Xia, because these soldiers belonged to Liu Biao and not theirs, and they didn't have much loyalty to them, so they wouldn't feel it a pity if they died. , Now going back alive is the most important thing.

Two hours later, the shouting finally stopped, and Li Yuan's army barracks became a mess, dozens of camps were burned down, and extinguished fires were everywhere. Fortunately, Chen Dao's soldiers and horses put out the fire in time and did not lead to a big fire. Although Zhao Yun's flying cavalry army arrived, Liu Bei was still allowed to escape, and Li Yuan felt a little regretful that Liu Bei could not be left behind.

"Brother, I am late." Zhao Yun apologized.

"It doesn't matter. Although Liu Bei escaped, he didn't succeed in the night attack, and our army's losses were minimized, and most of his soldiers and horses were killed. This counterattack was very successful." Li Yuan's only mistake was that he didn't expect Liu Bei would set up an ambush in Qichun. He thought that Liu Biao had recalled all the soldiers and horses near Jiangxia to Jiangxia. However, Liu Bei took the risk of letting soldiers pretend to be civilians, and then attacked them at night, which really made him hard to guard against.

"My lord, the lost soldiers and horses have been counted," Xu Shu came over to report, "Chen Daojun lost a total of 400 soldiers, and Taishi Cijun and Li Tongjun also lost more than [-] soldiers. Burn it."

"Well, Liu Bei's night attack can be regarded as an unsuccessful success. I don't know if it is the plan of the Kuai brothers or Li Shan's plan." Li Yuan wondered, "If it is the plan of the Kuai brothers, it is likely to be Kuai Liang's plan. Is it possible that he has already come to Jiangxia?"

"It might be Kuai Liang, but who is Li Shan that the lord is talking about?" Xu Shu had never heard of Li Shan's name.

"Li Shan is probably Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru, because of some coincidence, he joined Liu Bei and changed his name." Li Yuan told Xu Shu about Li Shan's identity.

"I see. No wonder the lord is so afraid of Liu Bei. With the help of a smart and vicious person like Li Shan, and the bravery of Guan and Zhang, Liu Bei really needs to take precautions." Xu Shu knew that it was not so difficult for Zhang to assist Liu Bei. deal with it, but it will be different with the addition of a resourceful and decisive Li Shan.

Li Yuan's army rested for a while, and continued to set off after dawn.

After Liu Bei's night attack failed, Li Yuan counterattacked, losing more than 3000 soldiers, and less than [-] soldiers came back with him. He was obviously the one who attacked, but he lost more soldiers than Li Yuan's army, which is a bit shameful.

When Liu Bei led his soldiers back to Jiangxia, their morale was low, their armor was not neat, and their faces were blackened by the smoke. Cai Mao had already seen Liu Bei's defeat from the top of the city, and he despised Liu Bei even more in his heart.

In the conference hall, all the Jiangxia generals came together, and Cai Mao sat on the main seat. Originally, Huang Zu was the prefect of Jiangxia and controlled the Jingzhou navy, but Cai Mao had a higher position, and Huang Zu was also his, so he gave up the main seat. To Cai Mao.

"Liu Bei, looking at your appearance, I don't need to ask you to know that you came back after being defeated." Cai Mao was full of disdain. Back then, Liu Bei volunteered to ambush Li Yuan's army in Qichun, and said that he would definitely hit Li Yuan hard, but the end result was defeat. Back, and more than half of the [-] soldiers and horses they brought with them were lost.

When Liu Bei came back, he knew that he would inevitably be ridiculed by Cai Mao, but he was indeed defeated. Even he himself did not expect to lose so many soldiers and horses. He clasped his fists and said, "That's right, I, Liu Bei, was careless. I shouldn't underestimate it." Li Yuan, the ambush should have been successful, but Li Yuan was extremely guarded, and was discovered by his patrol soldiers, so I ask General Cai to punish him!"

"Humph, Liu Bei, what's the point of punishing you? Now Li Yuan is about to attack me Jiangxia. The soldiers stationed in Jiangxia were originally fewer than Li Yuan's, and now they have lost more than 3000 soldiers and horses. How can you make up for this loss by punishing you?" I came back." Cai Zhong jumped out and mocked, "I warned you not to ambush at the beginning, but with Li Yuan's vigilance, how could he be unprepared? The death of three thousand soldiers in our army is really unjust."

Cai Zhong is Cai Mao's son, and he is also very dissatisfied with Liu Bei.

"Yeah bah, what are you, if you let you go, you won't even be able to bring back a single person!" Seeing Cai Zhong scolding Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately scolded back. His voice was like a bell, and his words were extremely intimidating. , Cai Zhong was actually scared back several steps by him.

"Zhang Fei, what do you want..." Cai Zhong was also a little scared when he saw Zhang Fei's fierce look.

"Zhang Fei, don't tell me you still dare to rebel!" Seeing Zhang Fei scaring his son, Cai Mao immediately stood up and cursed, wanting to get someone to take down Zhang Fei.
