King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 937 Intercepting Liu Bei
"Report!" Li Lin hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a light knight from the Liao Army rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "King Liao, General Zhao sent a young man to report that countless people from Fancheng poured out of the city and headed south. There are so many people that it is impossible to tell whether Liu Bei and others are among them, and how to deal with them, General Zhao asks Liao Wang to judge!"

"This is Liu Bei!" Li Lin frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Go! Shi Yuan, follow me to have a look!"

"No!" Pang Tong cupped his hands, looked at Li Lin's leaving back, and sighed slightly in his heart.My lord, Zhuge Kongming knew that you would not be cruel to the common people, that's why!but…………

"Alright!" Pang Tong muttered to himself, and followed Li Lin's footsteps closely.Isn't that why I joined Li Lin's command?You don't have to worry about being too sharp and being caught by surprise, and you don't have to worry about the birds running out of bows, do your best and show your ambitions!No reservations, no doubts, just keep your true self!
"Shiyuan, hurry up!" Li Lin, who had already left the camp, shouted outside.

"Yes!" Pang Tong shook his head, clearing the interference in his mind, and now he is dealing with Kong Ming, so he must not be careless!Be sure to send out all distracting thoughts, and put all your thoughts on the war......

With only two hundred light cavalry, Li Lin and Pang Tong hurried to Fancheng, where they reined in their horses at a high pole, watching with cold eyes countless hundreds of letters swarming out of Fancheng, heading south.In the tide-like flow of people, it is really difficult to find Liu Bei and his party,
"Pass my order!" Looking at the crowd for a while, Li Lin turned his head and ordered a Qingqi guard next to him: "Go to Zhang He's camp immediately, and order Zhang He to mobilize his troops and horses immediately, and take Fancheng in half an hour! "

"No!" The Zhuo Jun Qingqi clasped his fists and steered his horse towards the west.

"Shi Yuan!" Raised his horsewhip, pointing at the flow of people in the distance.Li Lin asked solemnly: "Are you saying that Liu Bei and others are among them?"

"Hehe!" Pang Tong smiled faintly, nodded and said, "It's likely to happen!" After the words fell, he seemed to have seen something, pointed at the crowds in the distance, and said with a frown, "Look, my lord!"

Li Lin took a closer look and saw dozens of horse-drawn carriages mixed in the flood of people in the distance. Before he could recover, those horse-drawn carriages scattered in all directions and followed the flow of people to the distance.

"Who are those carriages?" Li Lin was in doubt, when suddenly he heard Qingqi, the guard beside him, shouting urgently: "My lord, a soldier has left the city!"

"What?" Even if Li Lindang took his attention away from the carriages and looked towards the gate of Fancheng, he saw a group of soldiers and horses coming out slowly. The three leading generals were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhong Yao, and Chen Dao. Hundreds of white scorpion soldiers followed closely behind. Judging from the behavior of this army, it seemed that they were trying to cut off the rear for the people.

"How courageous!" Li Lin gave a little praise, then turned and ordered: "Give me an order, order Gao Lan to immediately set up soldiers and horses, and attack Liu Bei! Order Zhao Yun to gather Qingqi and rush to the bank of the Xiangjiang River before Liu Bei! Order the cavalry to bite Liu Bei's soldiers and horses! Remember, don't hurt the people for no reason!"

"Promise!" Li Lin's words were heard, and several Qingqi guards roared away beside him. Pang Tong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My lord's order is a bit difficult for a strong man. It is necessary to kill Liu Bei without harming the people! Hey! "

"That's all I have to do." Li Lin sighed slightly, looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "When our army first arrived in Jingzhou, if there were too many kills, it would not be good for our chief Jing Xiang. Besides, since the disaster of the Yellow Turban , the people of the world have repeatedly suffered from military disasters, and I give this order, if it can save a few innocent people..."

"My lord, Gao Yi!" Pang Tong nodded, turned his head and watched Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhong Yao and his troops go away, and said with a smile: "This Liu Bei has some courage, but right now he is a little puzzled!"

"Huh?" Li Lin turned his head in doubt and asked, "Why don't you worship?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said blankly: "Looking at what Liu Bei and others have done, it seems that they are ruining the future for the people, but since Liu Bei has this intention, why didn't he lead the army to break through alone, but encouraged the people?"

"This..." Hearing what Pang Tong said, Li Lin was obviously stopped by the question, and his brows were frowned, puzzled.

"That's all!" Shaking his head and smiling, Pang Tong saw that Li Lin's face was a bit dignified, and advised him: "Since Liu Bei did this, there must be his purpose. No matter what it is, as long as Liu Bei dies here, I will be done with this trip!"

"That's right!" Li Lin nodded.

"My lord!" Pang Tong looked at Li Lin hesitantly, and said hesitantly, "I don't know whether I should ask or not."

Li Lin glanced sideways at Pang Tong, and joked, "Say it, why are you so polite!"

"Your servant looks at the lord, and it seems that he attaches great importance to Liu Bei. According to my subordinates, Liu Beitu has the name of the emperor's uncle and has countless names, but there are very few soldiers and horses, so it is difficult to do anything. In contrast, whether it is Liu Zhang in Yizhou , Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Yuan Shang, Jiangdong Sun Quan and others are even more difficult to deal with than this Liu Bei! The minister thought that after our army took Jingzhou, it is better to train the navy here, and take this opportunity to take Hanzhong in the west. Zhouzhou, take the victorious army to take Jiangdong again! What is the King of Liao's intention?"

"Hehe!" Li Lin smiled slightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Yizhou, Hanzhong, these people are rubbish! Our army's future enemies, one is Liu Bei, the other is Jiangdong, and the rest are nothing to be afraid of!" Pang Tong heard the words. Dazed, he glanced at Li Lin suspiciously, seeing that Li Lin didn't want to say anything more, he didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Pang Tong hesitated and said: "My lord, the big event has been decided, why don't you go back to the camp and wait for the good news?"

"No!" Li Lin shook his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowds in the distance, and said in a word: "I want to see Liu Bei fall off the horse with my own eyes, so I can feel at ease!"

"No!" Not to mention Li Lin, Pang Tong and other two hundred Qingqi riding on a high slope watching the people of Fancheng move south from a distance, but also Zhang He and the second battalion of Gao Lan.

Zhang Yun dared not neglect Li Lin's command.Immediately, all the soldiers and horses in the battalion were exhausted, and sent troops to Fancheng. After half an hour, they rushed to the foot of Fancheng, and took Fancheng without any effort.After taking down Fancheng, in order to prevent Liu Bei from copying the plan of burning Xinye, Zhang He led the crowd to appease the people who had not moved in the city, and searched Liu Bei's soldiers at the same time.Half an hour later, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the city, Zhang He felt a little more at ease, so he recruited Li Tong, Gao Lan led his troops and horses, and helped Tai Shici's cavalry pursue Liu Bei.

On the other hand, Taishi Ci received the order of General Li Lin to patrol outside with cavalry in search of Liu Bei's army. Hearing that he found Liu Bei's trace, he hurried to Fancheng and joined Li Tong and Gao Lan outside the city. Go south to pursue Liu Bei.However, it was said to be a pursuit, but in fact it was nothing more than putting pressure on Liu Bei and others, and it was the cavalry under Zhao Yun's command who really acted as the ultimate move!Besides, Li Lin didn't give any complicated orders, just two.As long as Liu Bei soldiers and horses, kill them!Those who kill people without reason, kill!

"Father!" He rode his horse and galloped.Tai Shiheng pointed to the distance and shouted: "I saw Liu Bei's soldiers and horses!"

"Call me general!" Tai Shici roared angrily. After all, his son followed him. In the army, there were no father and son, so Tai Shiheng had to call Tai Shici a general, not to mention Tai Shiheng, even Li Ping. On the right occasion, you can't call Li Lin your father. After finishing speaking, Tai Shici waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, remember to kill today!"

"Drink!" With a chorus of shouts, the three thousand cavalry behind Tai Shici suddenly dispersed, like fierce tigers, and rushed towards Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.Behind this hall is Liu Pan, the guard general of Fancheng. When he heard the report from the spies that a soldier and horse had killed him from behind, Liu Pan knew, but did not wait for him to have any countermeasures. kill.

Taking advantage of the gap, he glanced behind him and saw the troops approaching quickly. Liu Pan smiled bitterly and said, "It's troublesome!" Immediately, Liu Pan only sent the only [-] Fancheng soldiers beside him to form a formation to resist the enemy.

Tai Shici breathed out slightly, pointed his spear at the enemy army that was already close in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

"Drink!" Three thousand cavalry rushed into the formation of Liu Pan's soldiers and horses like wolves and tigers. After only one encounter, Liu Pan's soldiers and horses collapsed.

"This is the rumored Youliao iron cavalry?" Liu Pan gathered points in astonishment, suddenly saw a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, and hurriedly took out his sword to block it.

"boom!"

"what!"

Wielding the bloody spear, Tai Shici squinted at the people in Fancheng who were crying and running in the distance, and said with a frown, "Trouble! Old Wang! Take half of the brothers to the left wing, and I will go to the right wing." , avoid these people!"

"Understood!" The old king was the deputy general who had followed Tai Shici for many years. Upon hearing Tai Shici's order, he nodded immediately, waved his hands and shouted: "Brothers, whoever wants to make meritorious service, follow me!" Thousands of cavalry followed the old king and ran away.

With blue veins popping out of Tai Shici's forehead, he shouted loudly: "The rest, follow me to the right wing!"

"Drink!" When Tai Shici's three thousand cavalrymen caught up, the people of Fancheng would still be crying and running around, but when Gao Lan and Li Tong led tens of thousands of Liao soldiers to catch up.The people of Fancheng were almost desperate. The men stared blankly at the approaching Liao soldiers, and the women hugged the babies in their arms tightly. There was a lot of crying here.

"Weeping so much!" Tai Shici yelled viciously, so that the people here did not dare to say another word.

"Say!" Pointing at a man with a spear, Tai Shici yelled: "Where did Liu Bei run away?" .

"Damn it!" Tai Shici frowned.Just about to reprimand a few words.But seeing that man slumped on the ground, looking around, the people here are also panic-stricken and speechless, yes, after all, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, the pressure on these people is really too huge.

"Report!" Suddenly a light cavalry rushed over, clasped his fists and reported: "General Taishi, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are found ahead!"

"Oh?" Tai Shici's eyes froze, he smiled, raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers, the King of Liao has an order to give a thousand pieces of gold to those who kill Liu Bei!"

"Drink!" The morale of the Liao army suddenly rose, and the faces of the people here were even more disastrous.

Riding his horse past the man in a playful manner, Tai Shici raised his whip and shouted loudly: "The King of Liao has an order, anyone who hurts the people for no reason, beheaded!" Listen to what Tai Shici said.

Looking sideways at the trembling man lying on the ground, Tai Shici looked down upon him, and then shouted: "Let's go!"

"Promise!" Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers squeezed away the many people who were so frightened and numb, and chased forward.It wasn't until the Liao army was gone that the people here came back to their senses. They looked at the Liao army in astonishment and puzzled, and talked a lot.

"The Liao soldiers... didn't come to kill us?"

"No... didn't you say that the Liao soldiers were going to massacre the city?"

The man sitting paralyzed on the ground slowly got up and patted the dirt on his body. A woman with a baby in her arms had already rushed to him and asked caringly, "Father, are you alright?"

"No...it's okay." The man scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "The Liao army doesn't seem to be as vicious as the rumors say?"

"Why not!" An old man said in fear: "I heard that the Liao army killed nearly a million people in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou. Nearly a million!"

"Millions...then why don't they kill us?"

"Hmm... Didn't you listen to that general just now? That Liao king issued a strict order that anyone who hurts people for no reason, beheaded!"

"Oh, who is the king of Liao?"

"This one……"

"I know, King Liao!"

"Oh?"

Not to mention that more and more common people saw that the Liao army did not harm them, so they stopped and talked about it. Tai Shici, Li Tong, Gao Lan and a group of tens of thousands of people were still rushing ahead.However, due to the increasing number of people, it seriously affected the advance of Tai Shici and others' army, and Tai Shici's cavalry could not display their speed. Fearing their last resort, they had to divide their troops and disperse tens of thousands of horses under their command. The middle and large generals led him, scattered and pursued Liu Bei.

After a while, Tai Shici was still looking for it without a clue, and he still didn't see Liu Bei. From a distance, Tai Shici seemed to see Zhu Ling's figure. Of course, Zhu Ling's soldiers were also chasing him. Among Liu Bei's men and horses, Tai Shici rolled his eyes and immediately rode forward and shouted: "Wenbo! Wenbo!"

"Huh?" Zhu Ling was also suffering from the large number of people here, unable to rush, unable to kill and kill, when he was restless, he heard someone calling from behind, when he turned around, he saw that it was Tai Shici, waved his hands and shouted: "General Ziyi!"

Taishi Cice immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Have you ever met Liu Bei?"

"Meet it!" Zhu Ling nodded, and then said discouragedly: "Liu Bei led the army and told me to defeat him, but he still told this guy to run away. The king of Liao strictly ordered not to hurt the people for no reason. All the cavalry under my command are Cavalry, the road is impassable, unable to pursue!"

"Hey!" Tai Shici smiled, patted Tai Shici on the shoulder and said: "Wenbo pursued all the way, people are tired and horses are exhausted, let's stay here to rest, then Liu Bei, leave it to me, oh, yes, where is Liu Bei going?" gone?"

"You!" Zhu Ling got angry when he heard the words, and gave Tai Shici a blank look, but seeing that what he said was reasonable, he was indeed a little tired after leading the army all the way for a long time, so Zhu Ling looked around and pointed in one direction Said: "There, Liu Bei went there, remember, I will share half of the credit!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Tai Shici laughed, and suddenly his complexion changed, and he shouted viciously: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" Immediately, the people here retreated to both sides, Tai Shici laughed, and led thousands of people. The Liao soldiers marched away.

"This Ziyi!" Zhu Ling smiled wryly and shook his head.However, if Tai Shici and Zhu Ling were chasing Liu Bei, then who were Li Tong, Gao Lan and the others chasing?
"Liu Bei has gone east!" a group of Liao soldiers shouted.

"Liu Bei has gone west!" Another group of Liao soldiers shouted.

"What?" Li Tong and Gao Lan looked at each other, a little dazed.

After pondering for a while, Gao Lan frowned and said, "You go east, I go west!"

"En!" Li Tong nodded.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei is here!"

"Liu Bei ran southeast!"

"Liu Bei ran to the southwest!"

"Kill Liu Bei! Kill Liu Bei!"

Such voices sounded in the Liao army from time to time, all talking about Liu Bei's whereabouts, which caused the generals of the Liao army to be shocked-how many Liu Bei are there?At the same time, Li Lin, Pang Tong and others had already arrived at the bank of the Xiangjiang River, watching the people clamoring to cross the bridge and cross the river. As early as half an hour ago, Zhao Yun had arrived here with five thousand Qingqi, only waiting for Liu Bei to show up body, Zhao Yun led the army to surround and kill.

Unavoidable to startle the snake, Zhao Yun kept asking five thousand Qingqi to wait upstream, while he visited here alone. After waiting for two hours, Zhao Yun did not wait for Liu Bei and his party, but Li Lin, Pang Tong and other two hundred Qingqi. Standing on the upper reaches of the high slope, Li Lin and the others only asked a dozen or so guards to dismount and stand beside them. Li Lin and the others stared intently at the crossing bridge, watching the people swarming across the river.

"Shi Yuan!" Frowning, Li Lin said suspiciously: "Do you think it is possible that Liu Bei is among these common people?"

"My lord means..." Pang Tong understood, and said in surprise: "Liu Bei pretended to be a commoner and crossed the river under our noses? It shouldn't be so. We saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhong Yao leading the army with our own eyes. After coming out of Fancheng, General Zhao's Qingqi followed him from a distance. There were Generals Tai Shici, General Gao Lan, General Li Tong, and General Zhu Ling who led troops to pursue and kill them. Still behind!"

"Isn't it strange?" Frowning, Li Lin said suspiciously: "What Shi Yuan just said, I haven't figured it out for a long time. Since Liu Bei wanted to lead the army to break through, why did he encourage the people to move south? I'm afraid there is a fraud in it!"

Hearing this, Pang Tong stroked his beard and said, "My lord, I'm a little skeptical..." However, before Pang Tong finished speaking, he saw a Qingqi rushing not far away, and he clasped his fists and said happily: " Report to King Liao that General Tai Shici has captured and killed Liu Bei!"

"Really?" Li Lin couldn't believe it.

"It's absolutely true!" Qingqi clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"Huh!" Li Lin heaved a long sigh of relief, and Pang Tong cupped his hands beside him to congratulate him: "When Liu Bei died, the worry in my lord's heart disappeared. Congratulations!"

"Hey!" Li Lin nodded, feeling a little lost for a moment.Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty in history, finally fell here, so the only thing left is Jiangdong!Without Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, this Jiangdong, hum!What can I do?Just rely on him Zhou Yu, Lu Su?If it weren't for being unfamiliar with the waters of the Yangtze River now, I would have asked Zhao Hu to lead the navy into the Yangtze River long ago!
