Chapter 762: Harming others will ultimately harm yourself
"Ah...no...it's nothing - if the master asks about the feasibility, Liang will definitely answer that there will be a chance."
"To win Hanzhong, we need the cooperation of many parties... As long as General Zhang can fight smoothly in the first battle..."
"Report!!!"
Zhuge Liang was probably frightened by this sudden reporting sound and got used to it.
This time he didn't seem so surprised.
I just thought that the road ahead might be blocked, so I planned to send people to dig the road quickly, but——
"Report!!!"
Another sound——
"what happened?"
Liu Bei was a little confused, but Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of the team, raised his spear horizontally and stopped two different groups of people who were rushing towards him.
One group of people were not riding horses, and the other group were riding horses.
The man without a horse looked covered in mud, but he didn't look very embarrassed, but the man on horseback was shaky and about to fall down after shouting that sentence.
"No way?"
Zhuge Liang gulped because he clearly saw that the soldier on the horse was one of Zhang Fei's personal guards.
"Military advisor! Lord! No... it's not good!"
Led by Zhao Yun to the two of them, a group of generals also approached the carriage——
"You speak first!"
Zhuge Liang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and pointed at the cavalryman who was obviously almost dead.
He staggered off his horse and fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face as he howled:
"Lord! Military advisor... General Zhang... General Zhang was defeated! Two generals, Chen Ying and Bao Long, were beheaded! General Xing Daorong was captured alive! General Zhang was injured and disappeared after breaking through with General Liu Xian - our army has 10,000 cavalry
All the troops were defeated by the enemy!"
"This! How is this possible!!"
Zhuge Liang jumped up from his seat.
While Liu Bei was frightened, he finally realized that he was not dreaming.
"Me! Where is my third brother now! Where has he gone? Is he still alive!?"
Liu Bei fell out of the carriage at such a speed that even Wei Yan and Zhao Yun on the side did not stop him.
But even if he threw a dog to eat shit, Liu Bei could still get up from the ground, because he was too shocked and frightened. He quickly got up and grabbed the collar of the cavalryman and shook it wildly, as if he wanted to get the answer from the other party.
However, it was only at this time that the cavalryman said with his last breath:
"I don't know... when the last general and General Zhang, General Liu and others broke through the encirclement, the enemy general Xu Chu hit General Zhang on the right shoulder with a knife. From then on, the last general and General Zhang got lost..."
"Lord! It is not a pity for us to die because we failed to obey the military advisor's order! But... But please, my lord, send troops quickly to save General Zhang!"
After shouting these last words excitedly, the cavalryman finally died of his injuries.
Tragic news—completely tragic news tore everyone’s eardrums apart, and also tore apart the beautiful illusions in everyone’s heart.
During the silence, the other messenger who was kneeling at the scene seemed a little embarrassed.
Only Zhuge Liang suppressed his anger at this moment and pointed at him:
"you say!"
"Military advisor... I... I won't... Needless to say, right? This... this is the letter General Huo Jun gave you... I... I... we... we have actually stopped General Zhang... but..."
"Yes... I'm sorry... Military Advisor... I... I broke my horse on the cliff on the way. It's really not me... I don't want to get here as soon as possible..."
This little pawn is obviously confused.
Before he sent the letter, Zhang Fei had just left, but by the time he arrived in front of the main army, the news of Zhang Fei's defeat had already reached him.
He looked at the mud all over his body and remembered that he had lost his horse due to a mistake yesterday. At this moment, guilt and fear swept through his body - it was not because he failed to deliver the letter on time that he delayed the rescue of the army.
Timing, right?
You little pawn, you don’t have any complicated ideas.
Zhuge Liang felt irritated after hearing this, so he just took the letter from the other party and glanced at it——
Snapped--
Zhuge Liang slapped his hand on his forehead, making an extremely clear sound.
Liu Bei looked back with tears in his eyes, only to see Zhuge Liang's first hysterical rage so far:
"Liu Xian! Yang Bai! You have harmed others and yourself! You have caused our army to lose its way forward! The crime cannot be punished, the crime cannot be punished!"
——
The truth is just like what Zhuge Liang heard...in fact, it is even worse than what he heard.
Just as Zhang Fei expected, when the cavalry behind him dropped their bags and went into battle lightly, planning to take Yangping Pass in one day, a black cavalry appeared on their only way.
"No! There's an ambush!"
Zhang Fei, who was walking at the front, suddenly woke up from his previous elation.
The pressure from the cavalry that appeared from the end of the line of sight was so strong that when the horse under Zhang Fei's crotch felt the evil aura coming towards him, it jumped up on the spot and let out a cry that was almost like a whimper.
"General! There don't seem to be many people on the other side! Do we have to retreat at this time?"
At this time, Liu Xian and Yang Bai were still encouraging Zhang Fei.
It can only be said that one is that they are too short-sighted, and the other is that they have never really faced off against Cao Jun.
No one in the world can question Zhang Fei's courage.
However, being brave does not mean that Zhang Fei is a complete reckless man.
Otherwise, he could have been fighting against Cao Cao for so many years, defeated repeatedly and still saved his life.
Just a glance——
He then recognized the other party's identity.
He had seen a lot of the leader's Fire Cloud Sword, so he naturally understood the other person's identity.
Xu Chu——
Perhaps he was the general he was least willing to face in the entire Cao camp.
When the two armies are evenly matched, of course he can challenge the opponent in a duel, but... so what if he wins now?
"General! There is no place for an ambush in this valley! The opponent seems to have less than half of our army, so let me come and meet them for a while!"
Perhaps because he believed in himself too much, or because he really had never seen how the word invincible was written, Xing Daorong took his mountain-breaking ax and rode out, intending to challenge his opponent in a duel.
But…
Xing Daorong seemed to have got the situation wrong.
Placing an extremely powerful heavy cavalry army in such a long and narrow valley is enough to be called an ambush.
The only reason why the opponent no longer increases its troops is because, with only five thousand soldiers and horses, the opponent can fight back and forth across the entire Taurus Road without any pressure.
Yang Bai was cheering and Liu Xian was smiling. Only then did Zhang Fei realize how stupid the decision he had made before was, and he could see the true colors of these people in an instant.
"General? Why don't you speak?"
The opponent seemed unmoved. Although he saw them from a distance, he still had no intention of charging.
Yang Bai greeted Zhang Fei, but heard Zhang Fei say something.
"Um?"
"General, what did you say?"
Yang Bai was in a daze. He clearly saw Zhang Fei's mouth moving, but couldn't hear any sound.
Why is there a touch of warmth in my ears?
Why are the soldiers covering their ears and showing fear on their faces?
Yang Bai touched his ear and saw a trace of blood on his hand——
As the pain came, Yang Bai's smile turned into confusion, and soon turned into panic.
Yang Bai was probably the first person in the world to have his eardrums shattered and lose his hearing when Zhang Fei yelled "Retreat" on the battlefield.
