Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 602 The Battle of Xinye
"Military Master, what should we do now?" Seeing Liu Bei's depressed face, Guan Yu who was beside him hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang.At this time, Guan Yu had already trusted Zhuge Liang very much. Seeing the crisis of the situation, he hurriedly asked.

"For the current plan, we can only divide our troops into two groups in order to deal with the war on both sides." After a long silence, Zhuge Liang finally spoke slowly.

"Military Master Zhuge plans to divide the troops, and I ask the military master to give instructions." Seeing that Zhuge Liang had already made a decision in a short period of time, Liu Bei asked with joy on his face.

"My lord, I took two generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to the south of the city together with Liu Qi, and recovered all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. The two generals Zhao Yun and I went to Bowangpo in the north of the city to meet for a while, and my Junior Brother Pang Tong." Zhuge Liang first came to Liu Bei and said to Liu Bei, then turned to Shan Fu and said: "Can we successfully solve the siege of the soldiers and horses of the counties in Jingzhou this time and take them for our own use? Brother Shan Fu, please work hard." Zhuge Liang came to Shan Fu's ear and whispered.

"Military Master, Zhang He Gaolan, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. I wonder how many soldiers and horses the Military Master plans to lead?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang had already planned the matter, Liu Bei got up and asked concerned.

"To deal with Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Pang Tong, I'm afraid we can't do it with our Xinye troops, so this time I'm planning to lead a thousand soldiers and horses as a countermeasure, and I don't really intend to go to war with them. Just wait until the lord recovers the soldiers and horses of the counties in Jingzhou, it will not be too late to fight them?" Although Zhang He is a very talented general, Zhuge Liang still doesn't take it to heart. What really worries Zhuge Liang is Pang Tong, As Zhuge Liang's younger brother, Pang Tong is still very familiar with Zhuge Liang's tactics. Even if Zhuge Liang is evenly matched, if he wants to defeat Pang Tong, he needs to prepare well. The horse is several times stronger than Xinye, so Zhuge Liang is naturally unwilling to use his limited force to face Zhang He's army head-on. He just wants to hold Pang Tong back with suspicion. When soldiers and horses were not sure of defeating Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang believed that Pang Tong would definitely retreat.For Zhuge Liang, the most important thing right now is time.

"I'm afraid it's too dangerous for the military commander to do this. I heard from Mr. Shan Fu that your junior brother Pang Tong is known as a phoenix chick, and his ability is not small. I'm afraid the military commander's suspicious tactics may not be able to deceive him. " Hearing what Zhuge Liang said was easy, but Liu Bei was sweating. He had no confidence in Zhuge Liang's decision, and Zhuge Liang's appearance must have given Liu Bei the hope of defeating Lu Bu. Liu Bei didn't want Zhuge Liang to make any mistakes.

"Hehe, my lord, please don't worry about this. Pang Tong knows me very well. How can I not know Pang Tong deeply? This battle is just a surprise, and my lord should not care about it. For those who achieve great things, some setbacks are always inevitable Yes." Seeing Liu Bei's worried expression, Zhuge Liang smiled and said relaxedly.

"That's it, it's decided like this. Let's set off without further delay." Seeing Zhuge Liang's confident look, Liu Bei nodded, turned around and came to Zhao Yun who was beside him and said, "The general is outstanding in martial arts. The general trusts me a lot, and I hope that the general will protect me in the same way that he protected me that day and protect the safety of Zhuge Military Division. Regardless of whether you win or lose this battle, as long as you can protect Zhuge Military Division, it will be a great achievement."

"My lord, don't worry, even if Zhao Yun loses his head, he will protect Zhuge's army well." Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhao Yun quickly said yes.

However, it is said that soldiers and horses from various counties in Jingzhou met in the south of Xinye City and jointly elected Zhang Yun as the commander-in-chief. ", Liu Bei and Liu Qi sat down under the banner.

"Liu Bei, that day when you came to Xiangyang in poverty, the king of Xiangyang thought you were a member of the royal family, so he took you in Xinye to let you recuperate. Now that the king of Xiangyang is seriously ill, you took the opportunity to kidnap the eldest son of the king of Xiangyang with the intention of seizing Jingzhou. What a shame! The crime is heinous, today I will lead the army to clear the door for the king of Xiangyang, and kill you, a bastard who does not know the heights of heaven and earth, come and kill me." Seeing Liu Bei and Liu Qi appearing together, Zhang Yun hurried forward, He yelled at Liu Bei who was on the opposite side.Zhang Yun understands that Liu Bei's purpose of letting Liu Qi appear here is to clarify the whole matter, but as Cai Mao's confidant, Zhang Yun does not want to really clarify the matter.

"Don't get angry, General Zhang Yun. The matter is not what you said." Seeing Zhang Yun confuse the public, Liu Qi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Liu Huang didn't kidnap me, I came here voluntarily , it was all because my stepmother Cai Shi colluded with Cai Mao and wanted to persecute me, so I had no choice but to come to Uncle Liu Huang to seek asylum. Thanks to Uncle Liu Huang, I can live to this day. I will fight back to Xiangyang together, and deal with the two traitors, Cai Mao and Cai Shi."

"Everyone, don't listen to the slander. The Eldest Young Master is now in Liu Bei's hands, and he was coerced by Liu Bei to say this. You and I will rush there and save the Eldest Young Master now." Seeing that Liu Qi actually spoke for Liu Bei, Zhang Yun quickly changed the subject , if Liu Qi and these people are really made clear, I am afraid that the Cai family in Xiangyang will be in great trouble.

"That's right, let's save the eldest son first." Hearing Zhang Yun's words, all the people echoed, and then shouted loudly, and they were about to charge towards Liu Bei with all their might.

"Hmph, let Guan Guan and Zhang Fei come out." Seeing the movements of the soldiers and horses in the counties of Jingzhou in front of him, Liu Bei snorted coldly and waved his hand to his side. With the command flag waving, the two wings of the army led by Zhang Yun charged forward. Out of two groups of soldiers and horses, the first two generals were none other than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Little thief Zhang Yun dares to lead troops to my Xinye, do you want to seek death?" At this moment, Zhang Fei saw Zhang Ba Snake Spear shaking in his hand, and came to the side of Jingzhou Army.

"Jingzhou soldiers dare to come to my Xinye to provoke. It seems that it is a long time to live. When will my brother not surrender?" Majestic said.

"General Zhang Yun, you were originally my father's favorite general. Now that your father is seriously ill, how can you help Cai Mao to fight against me? If you can turn to the light, I would like to say a few words for you in front of Uncle Liu Huang, so as not to kill you." In a different place, the fame of a lifetime is buried invisible." Seeing that the Jingzhou Army had been surrounded, Liu Qi continued to speak.Although the Jingzhou soldiers had already been surrounded, the Jingzhou army must have had several times more soldiers than the Xinye soldiers. Liu Qi also didn't want to see a situation where both sides suffered losses.

At the moment when the battle was about to start, not far away were two horses standing side by side, the first one was none other than Lu Bu, and the one standing next to Lu Bu was none other than Dian Wei.Seeing the situation in front of him, Dian Wei licked his lips, and said coldly: "My lord, what should we do now? Liu Bei seems to have controlled the situation. I didn't expect the Jingzhou army to be so stupid and have so many soldiers. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are surrounded."

It turned out that after Zhang He and Pang Tong set off with their troops, Lu Bu did not stay idle. Instead, he took his Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner two soldiers and horses to the surrounding area of ​​Xinye quietly by day and night.

"Hmph, I think these Jingzhou soldiers might really surrender to Liu Bei. So many soldiers and horses surrendered to Liu Bei like this. Wouldn't it make the fathers and villagers in Jingzhou feel cold, why don't you help them make up their minds." In the distance, Liu Bei's soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers guarded against each other, but no one attacked first, Lu Bu said to Dian Wei next to him.

"Hey, my lord, just watch." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Dian Wei smiled, turned and left.

"How about it, hasn't General Zhang Yun made up his mind yet? Does General Zhang Yun really think that he can leave Xinye?" Now, all the Xinye soldiers are no longer interested in finding out whether Liu Bei really detained Liu Qi.Although they felt that it was obviously impossible for Liu Bei to detain Liu Qi as Zhang Yun said, they must be Jingzhou soldiers, and they were reluctant to call Liu Bei under control, so they all turned their heads and looked at Zhang Yun. As the leaders of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, they naturally wanted to know Zhang Yun's thoughts, and Zhang Yun was also in a panic at this time. Once a fight broke out, Zhang Yun was not sure that he would be able to defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Zhang Yun also felt a little worried about escaping his life from them, but it was not advisable to surrender to Liu Bei. No matter how Liu Bei looked at it, he was not like the big tree that Zhang Yun wanted to rely on.

"Whoosh" at this moment, the sound of a feathered arrow piercing through the air sounded, and immediately after that, a Jingzhou soldier fell to the ground.At the same time, a soldier standing in front of Liu Bei had a feathered arrow hit his chest and penetrated the soldier's chest.

In this tense atmosphere, the soldiers involuntarily slashed the weapons in their hands towards the enemy in front of them, and the battlefield that was originally quiet for a while suddenly became fiery.

"What's going on?" Seeing such a situation, Liu Bei's face changed first. Although it seemed that Liu Bei's side had controlled the situation, Liu Bei didn't want the two sides to really fight. He was severely injured, and he would have great trouble dealing with Zhang He and Pang Tong in the future.

"Go up and kill Zhang Yun for me." Seeing this, Zhang Fei on the side instantly became frenzied. With a thrust of the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, he rushed up in an instant, and rushed straight to Zhang Yun.

"Kill Zhang Yun first, brothers, let's go." At this time, Guan Yu on the other side also rushed over. As a general, Guan Yu's natural way of killing Zhang Yun played a major role in this war.
