Zhou Yuanfu didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he could only make it up randomly.
"The Wei family does not live long, and thousands of miles of grass fall easily. The only real butcher in the world is Wang Situ."
Cai Yong was very curious about prophecies and did not reject things about gods and ghosts, but he could not understand the mystery for a while.
…
Although the Han army was victorious, the whole army was in a sad state. They killed 3,000 enemies and lost 800 of their own. The Han army was also injured this time. There were either cries or wailing in the army.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Huangfu Song held up his wine glass.
"Thanks to Captain Cao coming to our aid today, our army was able to turn defeat into victory!"
Cao Cao didn't dare to stand up and hurriedly stood up.
"General Huangfu is ridiculous. General Huang happened to catch up with the battle today and did his duty as a minister. Even if Cao doesn't come, General Huangfu can still defeat the thieves. Cao is just the icing on the cake, haha."
If you see through something, don't talk about it. Brothers can do it.
Huangfu Song was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Meng De is too modest. I will report it to the imperial court to ask for credit for Meng De and his colleagues!"
"Why are you stopping me? I killed the old thief Zhang Jue today, why can't I even have a drink? If it weren't for me, you would all have been killed by Zhang Jue!"
Zhang Fei suddenly opened the curtain and said loudly.
The soldiers and Liu Bei also caught up behind him. Liu Bei apologized to everyone while pulling Zhang Fei.
"If you don't understand etiquette, go home and discipline yourself properly. If you bark here, everyone will take notice of you!"
Qu Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, said provocatively.
"Straight bitch, who are you scolding? Do you dare to fight your Grandpa Zhang for 300 rounds?"
Zhang Fei suppressed a nameless anger and surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield of Guan Yu today. Later, Xiahou Dun took the credit again, which made him so angry that he was so angry. He heard that a celebration banquet was being held in the Chinese army's tent. Look at the heavy casualties of Zhuojun's children in his camp.
He was gloomy, but he didn't even have a drink, so he broke into the Chinese army's tent regardless of Liu Bei's dissuasion.
Qu Yi was equally depressed. Since the beginning of the army, the direct troops he led had never suffered such heavy losses. Most of these were brothers in the clan. How could it not make people feel distressed to lose so much all at once?
Both of them were so angry that they started fighting in front of the Chinese army's tent. They fought for hundreds of rounds with no outcome.
Liu Bei was crying beside him but kept trying to persuade Zhang Fei.
Huangfu Song had a gloomy look on his face. In this battle, he killed 3,000 enemies and lost 800 himself. Even though he won, it was a miserable victory. He was not happy to begin with, and he was even more upset when he saw Zhang Fei coming over to make a noise.
"Liu Xuande, the reason why the whole army is in trouble today is because your second brother Guan Yunchang faked defeat and defected to the enemy. I think you are a disciple of Lu Shangshu, so I will give you three points and I will not deal with you for the time being, so you can take care of yourself!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that he was in the wrong. He knew that if Zhang Fei continued to make trouble, the situation would be out of control, so he pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it across his neck.
"Third brother, if you still don't stop, I will have no choice but to die to apologize!"
When Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei acting like this, he stopped and said he was not convinced.
"Qu Yi, I'm really afraid of you. If I meet you one day, I will kill you!"
Qu Yi also fought heartily in this fight, and knew that he had met a real opponent, so he faced off tit for tat.
"I'll meet you someday so that you can know how powerful our Xiliang men are!"
Zhang Fei continued to argue, but Liu Bei was so scared that he lost his courage and forcibly pulled him away.
Everyone went back to the tent and continued drinking, but they were not interested.
Cao Cao drank a glass of wine and asked: "I am here to help you on the order of General Zhu Jun. But before I came here, I heard that General Huangfu had repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban thieves. It is said that the Yellow Turban thieves have been scared out of their wits. Why do you see what you see today?" , its momentum is extraordinary?"
Huangfu Song snorted angrily and said nothing. He couldn't say that he was careless and underestimated the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army.
Yan Zhong saw Huangfu Song's expression of embarrassment, so he took over the conversation and explained in detail how Guan Yu went into battle and how he was captured in one move, blaming the three brothers for today's events.
After hearing this, Huangfu Song's expression suddenly relaxed.
Fu Xie's face turned red after hearing this, and he thought to himself that although Guan Yu was indeed guilty in this matter, it would not put all the blame on him. Today's horn was clearly for the purpose of risking his life, and he was completely exchanging his life for his life. Therefore, the officers and soldiers fell into a passive position. But looking at Huangfu Song's expression, he agreed with what Yan Zhong said and opened his mouth. After all, because Cao Cao was there, he did not say anything.
After hearing this, Cao Cao also sighed, thinking that winning or losing in a battle is a normal thing, but Liu Guan and Zhang have such a bad reputation, can they ever turn around?
"I have always heard about the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. I heard that the three of them were unstoppable. They led five hundred Zhuo County disciples to kill many Yellow Turbans. It seems that they are hard to live up to their reputation!"
While we were talking, someone came to report the losses. More than half of the tens of thousands of troops and horses were lost. After hearing this, everyone was unhappy, and the banquet broke up unhappy.
Let us also say that after Liu Bei and Zhang Fei returned to camp, Zhang Fei was still angry and scolded him for a long time, and saw Liu Bei frowning.
"Brother, are you worried about being bitten by Huangfu Song?"
Liu Bei was indeed worried about this matter, but he sighed: "My second brother was captured by the thief in Zhoucang. I don't know whether he is dead or alive?"
"Brother, you are still worried about the unfaithful Guan Yu. It really pisses me off! That thief must be having a good time with Zhou Cang."
"I have been thinking about this matter in the past few days. Our brothers may have fallen into someone else's plan to alienate each other. We have been besieging the city for several days. This is not the first time Zhou Cang has met his second brother. Why did he only write a letter recently? There must be fraud in this. , but I was so confused at the time that I became suspicious. Today, when my second brother was arrested, I realized that I must have fallen into the opponent’s plan.”
Zhang Fei said anxiously: "Brother, let me tell you what you are good at. We fell into the trap of that thief Guan Yu. Others don't know his martial arts, but you and I don't know it either. How could he be defeated with just one move? Stop it, it's obviously just an act! I heard people say that Zhou Cang has been accepted as a closed disciple by Zhang Jiao. Among the Yellow Turban thieves, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Guan Yu thinks that he has no chance of getting ahead by following his elder brother. So he turned to Zhou Cang's family. Brother, we are brothers who have been in love for more than ten years. Half a year ago, that thief was just a traveling businessman. A businessman pursues profits and sells his brothers at the slightest profit. You don't want this kind of person. , When we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will definitely take his head!"
Liu Bei frowned when he heard this and said: "Third brother, don't say that. The second brother was indeed a merchant, but you are the butcher of pigs and I am the weaver of straw sandals. We are all connected by the same destiny, and we must be connected by the same spirit."
"Brother, what you said is wrong. You and I are both craftsmen, and we all rely on our skills to make a living. How can we be compared with a small businessman like Guan Yu?"
Liu Bei raised his head to look at Zhang Fei and saw that he was so proud, and wondered where Zhang Fei's sense of superiority came from.
The two brothers checked the troops and found that there were only a few dozen people left out of 500.
Zhang Fei persuaded Liu Bei to return to Zhuojun first, but Liu Bei missed Guan Yu and refused to leave. Zhang Fei finally became anxious. If Liu Bei didn't go with him, he would have to break all ties. Seeing Liu Bei's decisive attitude, he had no choice but to return to his hometown.
Make plans.
From then on, each of the two families stopped their troops and rested inside and outside the city, preparing for the final decisive battle.
A few days later, Zhang Jiao's head was sent to Luoyang. Huangfu Song wrote a letter pleading for merit for the generals and asking for reinforcements. When Huangfu Song wrote the memorial, he put all the blame for the loss of troops on Liu Bei. The Han Emperor Liu Hong was furious and wanted to send him to Luoyang.
