As Liu Bei spoke, there were two lines of clear tears in his eyes.
"Brother, Guan Yu will follow you to the death without any second thoughts. I hope that my eldest brother will learn from it."
Seeing Liu Bei crying, Guan Yu quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Liu Bei.
"I just said that casually. Don't be offended, brother. Zhang Fei will follow his brother to the death without any second thoughts."
Zhang Fei also prostrated himself before Liu Bei.
"Hey, Brother Wei is speaking from my heart. I have been training rural warriors since the Yellow Turbans to destroy the Yellow Turbans. However, after several years, I am still just a small county magistrate. I have really wronged you."
Looking at the two brothers prostrating themselves in front of him, Liu Bei's tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Others are getting better and better as they get better and better. People go to higher places. How can I not be so good? I only have two powerful generals with ten thousand enemies, but I get worse and worse as I get worse. Until now, I am just a Yangquan order. How can I not be sad?
"Brother."
"Brother."
Seeing the two brothers whose eyes were also full of tears, Liu Bei couldn't help but put away his little daughter's attitude and helped the two men up.
"Two brothers, I, Liu Bei, swear that I will become heroes who help the Han Dynasty, and you are the most elite tiger generals in the Han Dynasty. Believe me, Bohai County is our opportunity to rise."
Seeing Liu Bei return to his original state, Jian Yong couldn't help but nodded. The reason why he chose to follow Liu Bei in the first place was because he was impressed by his perseverance and belief. He also believed that Liu Bei's future would be limitless.
"My lord, if that's the case, then I'll go arrange the food, grass and baggage."
"Well, then there is Lao Xianhe, Yun Chang, I guess Yuan Shu will definitely send his cavalry from the north to the south to surround the prefect Gongsun. If they want to go south to Zhangwu, they will bear the brunt.
So now you gather all the cavalry and march southward to Zhangwu on a starry night, and hold that place in my hands."
Liu Bei was not a mediocre person. Since he had guessed that Gongsun Zan was going to return north, Yuan Shu would definitely not let him go due to his temperament, so Zhao Yun went south to encircle him.
Whether Gongsun Zan returns to the north or Zhao Yun goes south, Zhangwu is the key place.
Whoever can hold Zhang Wu in his hands will have the advantage of the home court and his chances of winning will be greatly increased.
"I will lead my troops to Zhangwu right now. Please rest assured, brother, as long as I am here, the enemy will not even think of entering Zhangwu."
After saying this, Guan Yu hugged Liu Bei and walked out of Liu Bei's house without looking back.
"Brother, what about me?"
Seeing that both Jian Yong and Guan Yu had something to do, Zhang Fei also came out to ask for something to do.
"Yide, you go to the military camp immediately, organize all the soldiers and horses, and be ready to go south with me and station in Zhangwu."
"promise."
Half an hour later, Guan Yu led five hundred cavalry out of Quanzhou and ran south towards Zhang Wu.
The five hundred cavalry were military supplies donated to him by wealthy horse merchants when he started the uprising. They have always been his trump card and will not be easily dispatched unless it is a critical moment.
Quanzhou is not far from Zhangwu, and the straight-line distance is only more than 200 miles. Guan Yu led 500 cavalry on the starry night and arrived outside Zhangwu County in three days.
Through the military orders given by Gongsun Zan, he easily took control of all Zhang Wu's troops. Seeing the low city wall, he immediately sent troops to start strengthening it. At the same time, he recruited strong men on the spot to build the city wall together.
At the same time that Guan Yu was stationed in Zhangwu, Gongsun Zan also plundered Gaocheng County and began to lead his troops back north. At the same time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also gathered troops from the two places between Fuyang and Chonghe, leading more than 20,000 elite troops.
, began the pursuit of Gongsun Zan.
Time passed day by day, and two days later Liu Bei finally arrived at Zhangwu County with his 1,500 infantry. On the third day, Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalry finally entered the land of Bohai County and began to speed up.
Rush to Zhangwu County.
"Report to the second general that a large number of cavalry has been found in the north, with about 10,000 horses and horses, rushing towards Zhang Wu."
As soon as Zhao Yun entered Bohai County, Guan Yu's scouts stationed in the north of the border discovered their itinerary. They did not dare to delay and quickly flew to report to Guan Yu.
"Okay, I understand. I order everyone to be prepared. The enemy may come at any time."
"promise."
Although he knew that Zhao Yun's cavalry would go south, when his cavalry came with ten thousand cavalry, even if Guan Yu had the courage to take the enemy's general's head out of ten thousand troops, he couldn't help but be extremely worried.
After all, they only have 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry. Even if they include the 500 defenders left by Gongsun Zan, they only have 2,500 people.
Although there are thousands of capable people in Zhangwu City, it is difficult to use these people for great purposes, and it is impossible to guarantee who their hearts are towards.
"Second brother."
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Guan Yu, who was in a daze, immediately turned his head.
"Brother, when did you come?"
"I just arrived. I see you are in a daze."
Liu Bei looked at his brother of the opposite sex and couldn't help but smile.
In terms of martial arts, Guan Yu may be on par with Zhang Fei, but in terms of military training, marching, fighting, and strategy, he is much better than his third brother.
"Guan Yu has lost his composure. I hope my elder brother will punish him."
"Where are you worried about Yuan Shu's cavalry going south?"
Liu Bei, like Guan Yu, looked to the north, where Yuan Shu's fine cavalry was galloping towards him.
"Well, Zhangwu County is too small after all. It doesn't even have a moat, and we only have 2,500 soldiers under our command. It will be difficult to defend against an enemy four times my size."
Guan Yu nodded to Liu Bei, this battle is not going to be easy.
Although they were defending the city, Zhangwu's city wall was only three meters long. Even if they temporarily increased the height, it was only about five meters long. Moreover, there was no moat outside the city, so it was really difficult to defend.
"Second brother, do you know the main purpose of Yuan Shu's cavalry going south this time?"
Liu Bei looked into the distance without looking back.
"Intercept Gongsun Zan."
Guan Yu gave an answer with certainty.
"That's right, although Zhang Wu is very important, it is not as important as imagined. Governor Gongsun is the key. As long as we can make Yuan Shu's cavalry feel that Zhang Wu is not easy to mess with and that a forced attack will do more harm than good, I believe they will not
It will be a head-on collision."
Liu Bei's words stunned Guan Yu.
"So when the enemy cavalry attacks, I will lead my troops out to challenge them. I will first kill a few of his generals and dampen their sharpness. Do you dare?"
In fact, Liu Bei is not a coward, nor is he a crybaby. Everything about him is just an appearance. When it comes to seizing major events and opportunities, he can often take the lead and move forward bravely.
He is the most determined person in the Three Kingdoms. He is like an invincible Xiaoqiang who can stand up again from setbacks every time.
"What's the problem? When the time comes, let me chop off the heads of a few enemy generals and serve them to my brother."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu smiled softly and said, "I just killed the enemy, so what's the difficulty?"
"Okay, then I'll have to wait and see how powerful my second brother is."
"I won't let you down."
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, then looked north together, and laughed.
