Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 262 The complacent Yuan Shao and Liu Bei
As Gao Shun cut down that section, Yuan Shao's defenders on the city wall cried loudly.

At this moment, Zhao Yun couldn't help but turn his head and look over, tears streaming down his face.

Looking at the soldiers behind him, Zhao Yun said in a trembling voice: "Come here, collect the bones of these soldiers and bury them together."

"They lived and died together."

"After death, let them be together under the underworld, so that they will not be lonely."

All the soldiers stepped forward one after another.

Zhao Yun raised his head, took a few deep breaths, then looked at the city wall and said loudly: "Soldiers on the city wall, put down your weapons and get down from the city wall."

"From now on, as long as you don't pick up weapons, you will be free."

Only then did Yuan Shao's garrison soldiers on the city wall put down their weapons and walked down the city wall crying.

Zhao Yun waved his hand.

Forty thousand troops entered the city in an orderly manner and took over Pingyuan City.

After Zhao Yun entered the city, he immediately sent people to join forces with the commander's cavalry to intercept Zhang Xiu's return route from the rear of Pingyuan City.

Zhang Xiu received the order and led five thousand cavalry straight to Yecheng.

This trip to Yecheng to attack the city was fake.

It is true that he is about to besiege Yecheng.

When Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to Yecheng, Zhang Fei had already arrived at Yecheng.

The person responsible for guarding Yecheng now is Yuan Shao's counselor Shen Pei.

Shen Pei once served Taiwei Chen Qiu, and his temper was as strong and unyielding as a Hebei righteous man.

Zhang Fei, who hurried back, learned that Zhao Yun led his army to surprise the plains, and Shen Pei's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Immediately, he ordered the resting city defense troops, as well as the major family branches in the city, to rush to the city wall as quickly as possible.

In the afternoon, they saw dust rising from the sky.

Thousands of cavalry came galloping like wind and clouds.

These thousands of cavalrymen hung the flag with the word "Zhang".

It was surprisingly the five thousand cavalry led by Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu led his cavalry to stop by the moat.

The officers and soldiers of Yuan's army on the city wall looked at the mighty cavalry and trembled with fear.

Shen Pei looked down at the outside of the city, took out a bow and arrows from behind, nocked an arrow from the bow, and shot at Zhang Xiu. He said coldly: "What's there to be afraid of? As long as we don't open the city gate, we can rely on a group of them." Can the cavalry still attack the city gate?"

The arrow landed not far in front of Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, picked up the arrow, smiled and said to Yuan Shao's soldiers on the wall: "Listen, Yuan Shao's soldiers on the wall, the plain has been captured by our Jiangdong Army!"

"Now, I am just serving as a vanguard and informing my family's cavalry captain."

"I, Jiangdong, have sent 14 troops from Xuzhou. We have captured Pingyuan, killed your Pingyuan commander Guan Yu, and captured all the soldiers."

The soldiers of Yuan Shao's army on the city wall immediately exploded.

Guan Yu is dead?

The plain was taken?

An army of 14 is coming?
God!

The Yecheng city defense army, including all the major family branches, will not exceed [-]!

how to respond?

Shen Pei's face also turned slightly pale.

14 troops?
Is Jiang Dong crazy?

So many troops were dispatched this time!

However, according to previous intelligence, Jiangdong should not be dispatched on such a large scale.

They simply don't have the financial resources to send out such a large army!

Seeing the frightened expressions of the soldiers around him, Shen Pei secretly cried out.

Few of these people are actual soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

Many people are children of aristocratic families who have spent their entire lives in fine clothing and fine food.

They will definitely find a way to inform the army fighting on the front line.

By then, the frontline troops are likely to come back!

Duke Yuan had told himself before that he had united with the princes of Guanzhong, Ma Chao, and others to attack Cao Cao from the west.

Is it—

Shen Pei hissed and sneered at Zhang Xiu outside the city: "Nonsense, where did the 14 troops from Jiangdong come from? Where did the 14 troops come from! You can deceive others, but you can deceive us. It's just wishful thinking!"

"I estimate that you only have an army of ten or twenty thousand at most."

Looking at the soldiers around him, Shen Pei scolded: "Why are you nervous? I thought it was something big, but it was just a group of cavalry attacking the plains."

"Guan Yu, the commander-in-chief of the plains, has never heard of his reputation before. He is just a person brought up by Liu Bei's flatterer to get credit. He has no ability. I have long advised the lord not to use him. The lord is deceived by Liu Bei and does not listen to me. You know, this will happen eventually!"

“Everything is expected.”

"How can I compare to Guan Yu in judging matches?"

"Get off the city wall and go back to play!"

"For the rest, just follow my orders."

"As long as you listen to my orders, I guarantee that this group of Jiangdong rats will be nothing more than gibberish."

The generals looked at Shenpei suspiciously.

But seeing the judge humming a little tune and leaving leisurely, the generals still left with doubts.

Zhang Xiu suddenly felt puzzled when he saw that instead of being nervous, the soldiers on the city wall had all left.

But it doesn't matter, his mission has been completed.

After that, just keep walking around and scare them.

Junior brother, reinforcements will soon arrive to scare them.

As for why you do this, that's not your business.

Besides, Shen Pei went all the way down the city wall and returned to the mansion. Then he hurriedly ordered his nephew to guard the city wall and always pay attention to the changes in the enemy forces outside the city.

And he himself immediately wrote a letter to Yuan Shao ahead, asking Yuan Shao not to worry too much about Yecheng.

Although Yecheng was attacked by the enemy, he could rely on the city's high defenses, the city's defense army, and the major family tribes to sustain it for a long time.

Moreover, there are nearby counties that can add additional manpower.

The top priority is to attack Cao Cao with the Guanzhong princes Ma Chao and others, decide the outcome in one battle, and capture Xudu!
After capturing Xudu and destroying Cao Cao, he sent troops to attack Xuzhou.

And now he is writing letters to various counties in Youzhou and Jizhou, asking them to prepare soldiers.

Once Yuan Shao's army captured Xudu and attacked Xuzhou, the soldiers from various counties in Youzhou and Jizhou quickly gathered to suppress the Jiangdong army that had captured the plains from all directions, making it impossible for the Jiangdong army to return to support Xuzhou.

By then, winning Xuzhou will be a matter of hands.

After writing the letter, the reviewer immediately sent someone to rush the letter to the front line.

Guandu.

Under Jushou's plan, Yuan Shao's army crossed the Yellow River, camped step by step, and set up camp five miles apart. They used arrow towers and catapults to bombard Cao Cao's camp directly in front.

At the same time, the cavalry was sent around both sides to constantly harass Cao Jun.

The coalition forces of Cao Jun and Huang Gai were forced to retreat continuously.

First, they did not have strong cavalry to deal with the harassment of Yuan Shao's army of cavalry.

Secondly, Yuan Shao's frontal army was several times larger than the combined forces of Cao Cao and Huang Gai.

Moreover, they have too many arrow towers and catapults.

Cao Cao was not safe in this regard, so he could only be beaten passively and keep retreating.Pang Tong went crazy.

Yuan Shao's army was obviously many times more powerful, but yet it was so cautious.

He could only hope that Wu Hou Lu Yi would come to reinforce the craftsmen and use thunder chariots to fight against the enemy.

And Yuan Shao's army commanded his tent.

Yuan Shao was having a drink with the civil and military officials, looking at ease.

Liu Bei was also very proud at this moment.

This was the first time he led cavalry since Zhuojun raised troops, and it was four thousand cavalry!
He and Zhang He each led their cavalry, harassing the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Huang Gai from time to time from the left and right sides.

Every day is so leisurely.

Yuan Shao looked at the excitement of the generals and laughed and said: "Years ago, Tian Feng kept persuading me to form an alliance with Cao Cao and Jiangdong and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, otherwise I will definitely lose."

"How are you now? Hahaha!"

All the generals laughed.

Only Jushou lowered his head, sipping his drink and feeling sad secretly.

This lord is so chilling.

Not to mention other things, just this step-by-step strategy of harassing the cavalry on both sides is what Tian Feng told himself to tell his lord before his death!

However, at this moment, he no longer wanted to refute.

Yuan Shao and the generals laughed and laughed for a while, and then ordered the army to march another five miles, set up camp, and then go back to rest.

Liu Bei said goodbye to Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Guo Yuan and others, and returned to the camp alone.

Lying on the bed with his hands on the back of his head, Liu Bei sighed.

How long?
I have never fought such a happy battle.

When Ma Chao's army attacks from the west, Cao Cao will be completely finished.

At that time, the army will go south to capture Jiangdong, and then capture Yizhou.

The world will be unified.

Now as one of Yuan Shao's trusted generals, he has a bright future.

Maybe, become a general or something.

The scene when he was named a general came to mind, and Liu Bei's smiling face gradually became filled with sadness and regret.

pity.

Just a great general.

Thinking back to the past, I wanted to imitate Emperor Guangwu.

In the end, there is nothing we can do.

when?

Luck?

life?

Drowsily, Liu Bei's eyelids felt very heavy.

He couldn't help but fall asleep.

It seemed that Liu Bei had not slept for long before he woke up.

It's a little bit cold all around.

Somewhat extraordinarily quiet.

Liu Bei got up from the bed in confusion and walked out of the tent.

The sky was pitch black.

The cool wind whizzed.

The dim light was a little extra cold.

There were still soldiers patrolling around, but surprisingly there was no sound.

Liu Bei looked a little wary. He held the hilts of the two swords at his waist and walked towards a group of patrolling soldiers to ask about this strange thing.

Suddenly, a voice said: "Brother."

This voice—

Liu Bei hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

Behind him, he saw Guan Yu looking at him motionless.

Liu Bei was startled and said: "Second brother, if you are not stationed in the plain, what are you doing here? Do you know how important the plain is? If the plain is lost, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Guan Yu said quietly: "Brother, you have truly become Yuan Shao's general. All you care about is Yuan Shao's business."

Liu Bei released his hands holding the hilts of the two swords and smiled bitterly: "Second brother, I told you before that I don't want this either."

"But the situation is here."

"Now Yuan Shao is destined to return."

"Look at the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Huang Gai facing him, they have no power to fight back!"

"Now Yuan Shao has united with Ma Chao to attack the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Huang Gai from both sides."

"As soon as Ma Chao arrives, Cao Cao and Jiang Dong will be finished."

"When the time comes and the world is unified, what's the point of being stubborn?"

"Don't keep complaining that I'm not like before."

"If there is any possibility, I, Liu Bei, am so easy to give up?"

"Today's world is the world of nobles."

"Even if I hold the title of imperial uncle, do you think any noble family will support me?"

"Make bricks without straw!"

Guan Yu laughed forcefully and said: "Everything is up to you, brother! I can only follow you here."

"The third brother is quite reckless. Big brother, please exercise more restraint in the future. Otherwise, I'm worried that he will be harmed by villains."

Liu Bei was startled and said hurriedly: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?"

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei quietly, sighed deeply, and gradually disappeared.

Liu Bei hurriedly ran over and was about to grab Guan Yu.

However, he came up empty.

Liu Bei looked around and said in panic: "Second brother! Second brother! What do you mean by this? What do you mean you can't follow me anymore? We three brothers have sworn an oath, but we have sworn an oath! Second brother! Second brother!"

Suddenly, the situation in front of Liu Bei changed.

Liu Bei opened his eyes and looked at the tent above his head, feeling a little sad, lost and panicked.

It turns out that it was just a dream.

But he was a little immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

After a while, he sighed, got up from the bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked out of the tent.

A campfire crackled outside.

Patrolling soldiers kept coming and going.

Liu Bei shook his head, and his mind kept thinking about the sympathetic and regretful look on his second brother Guan Yu's face in the dream.

Returning to the camp, Liu Bei knelt in front of the desk, picked up a brush, and was about to write a letter to Guan Yu, asking him about his current situation and asking him to defend the plain.

Before he finished writing, a voice came from outside: "General Liu, my lord is sending an urgent order, all generals must gather in the commander's tent!"
