Chapter 562: Sun Liu Lianjun, who seems to be incompatible with each other
Xiangyang is completely stabilized here.
In a day and a half, Zhao Yun finally encountered the main force of the Sun and Liu coalition on the way from Jiangling to Xiangyang.
After days of running, coupled with some major and minor injuries sustained in previous battles, Zhao Yun finally lost strength and fell from his horse after seeing the coalition's cavalry.
——
"Report!!"
While the dust was flying, through the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhuge Liang in the car saw several rangers running towards the army at high speed in the distance.
"The whole army stops..."
Zhuge Liang greeted Liu Bei outside the car, and Liu Bei quickly issued the order. Although Liu Bei was now the deputy commander, he was very hostile to the Sun family's army due to various inexplicable operations before. Therefore, taking this opportunity, Zhuge Liang took his place.
He was holding Liu Bei's hand and giving orders.
Some of the decisions with Zhou Yu were made by Zhuge Liang. Of course... When being ignored like this, an ordinary coach would be quite angry, but Liu Bei was not... He really enjoyed the feeling of Zhuge Liang taking care of everything for him. He wished he could just be there
Just acting as a decoration - in other words, Liu Bei has found the true meaning of life: that is, it is great to win by lying down.
However... this point seems to have become a hidden danger for the Shu Han in the future. After all, Zhuge Liang is also a human being. He may not be able to outwit the omniscient Yi Xiaotian now, but in terms of loyalty, he is definitely doing his part.
Therefore, no matter how history develops, Zhuge Liang will eventually end up with a reputation of working hard to die, but to put it bluntly, it was Liu Bei who caused Zhuge Liang to die of exhaustion.
"All troops stop!"
Military orders were passed quickly through the long queue.
Even Zhou Yu, who was in the army next door, was a little confused:
"Go and see what's going on."
By the way, although the coalition forces of Sun and Liu are nominally 150,000, 50,000 of them are temporary transport troops composed of common people and county soldiers - 100,000 elite soldiers, Liu Bei has 40,000, Zhou Yu has 60,000, including cavalry.
, Liu Bei had 20,000 troops, Zhou Yu had 10,000 troops, and what Zhou Yu had left was 30,000 naval troops and 20,000 infantry troops. Such an army composition, although said to be stable, is actually not very stable.
It all depends on two brains for control. Compared with the size of Cao Cao's army during the previous Battle of Chibi, it is naturally incomparable.
And the two families themselves have not jointly trained any soldiers and horses. They have their own agendas. Who can put the soldiers and horses they have trained into other people's teams?
Therefore, the two armies actually marched in separate lines. The two teams were not far apart and could barely maintain the fastest contact. When they were stationed, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others would not be able to compete with Zhou Yu and the people he led.
The generals met.
During this trip, Liu Beijun's rangers were responsible for all the reconnaissance tasks, so Zhuge Liang recognized his own rangers at a glance and had a premonition that something was wrong. Only then did Zhou Yu slowly realize that Liu Beijun stopped next to him.

"Report!!"
The Rangers were so fast that they looked as if they were about to fall. When they galloped not far away from Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, Liu Bei shouted impatiently:
"Is there any enemy situation ahead?"
"Report... report to the lord... something big... something bad is going to happen!"
Zhuge Liang was sitting in the car. When he heard these words, his heart felt as if a huge stone had sunk.
Liu Bei looked confused and asked quickly:
"Speak quickly! What is going on?"
"yes…"
The cavalryman had a cold sweat on his face, and after swallowing his saliva, he stuttered and told the truth:
"Yes... we found General Zhao and General Zhang on the road... General Zhao was in a coma due to overexertion, and General Zhang never woke up... The two men were not seriously injured, but... there was not a single soldier around them..."
boom!
The carriage suddenly made a violent noise, and even the groom in front of the carriage was frightened and almost stopped holding the horse.
"military adviser!"
Liu Bei was in a dilemma, and he still hadn't recovered yet. He tremblingly opened the door curtain, only to see Zhuge Liang crushing the carriage carriage with his head. There was only horror and confusion in his eyes.
"Impossible...Is this impossible?"
——
In short, tonight, due to some emergencies, the armies of both sides have all stopped——
In the camp, Zhou Yu and the dwarfs Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng and other generals beside him looked at the two people lying on the bed in shock, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Zhou Yu forcibly calmed down his mentality and asked in an extremely distrustful tone:
"General Zhao, you said... you said that the other side has a repeating crossbow that can shoot dozens of arrows... and a crossbow that can shoot through heavy armor... right?"
"Then...the other party seems to have known that you were coming...they dug a deep hole early and set up a defensive horse...is that right?"
"The governor... my lord... the military advisor... if what Yun Zhi said is even the slightest bit false, I will strike with five thunderbolts from the sky!"
Zhao Yun's face was originally relatively fair, but at this moment there was no color due to weakness, and his face was as white as lime... But when he spoke, his determination was so firm that everyone couldn't help but believe it.
As luck would have it, suddenly a thunder exploded from the sky, frightening the soldiers all over the camp.
Zhao Yun was still pointing at the sky, feeling extremely embarrassed at this moment.
"This... this is a complete accident... Military Advisor! You have to believe me! Our cavalry has already prepared to leave, but they are like prophets... and... and Cao Cao doesn't seem to be afraid of our army at all, and he
He kept saying that...he is right there, and he has the ability to let us take his head..."
"Zilong, you have a good rest. We didn't say we didn't believe you..."
"only…"
Liu Bei sat next to Zhao Yun and breathed a sigh of relief. At least Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were still alive... Liu Bei looked at the cheek in Zhao Yun's hand with affection and couldn't help but shed tears.
But the generals of the Sun family who were watching this scene were full of confusion. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that Liu Bei was really disgusting.
"Captain...I'm going outside to get some fresh air..."
"I...I'm going too..."
"Hey, hey, wait for me..."
After a while, there were only a few people left in the room.
Zhang Fei was still in a coma. Zhao Yun said that Zhang Fei had woken up once during the journey, but because he knew that he had been let go by Cao Cao, he felt unwilling and angry, and passed out again.
Zhou Yu was still clear-headed and looked at Zhuge Liang and gave him a look.
The two of them let Liu Bei have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhao Yun and walked aside to mind their own business. When Zhou Yu opened his mouth, he said anxiously:
"This...how is this possible? No matter how great Cao Cao is, there is absolutely no way he could have such a powerful counterattack in such a short period of time...Didn't he say that they only have three thousand elite soldiers?"
"Then the so-called repeating crossbow is real or fake? Is it really possible to build it?"
Zhou Yu had too many doubts.
The key is that this behavior of outflanking the retreat was a strategy he had also confirmed. In the impression of the two of them, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were fast enough... Zhao Yun also said that they arrived outside Xiangyang City in two days and one night.
In the mountains of Xian Mountain, the other party's preparations...
"Captain, please don't be anxious...allow me...allow me to do the math..."
Zhuge Liang was upset. Being disturbed by Zhou Yu in this way made him even more confused. He had to use excuses to ask Zhou Yu to calm down - so that he could calm down.
