Liu Bei slumped down on the ground, his expression suddenly dull, staring at the coffin, muttering to himself: "Second brother, why did you leave your eldest brother alone, second brother...!"
Liu Bei's eyes turned red, and crystal tears suddenly fell down.
There is a saying that a man should not shed tears lightly, but he has not yet reached the point of being sad.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became brothers with different surnames, sharing life and death, honor and disgrace. For Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were far more important than the women in his backyard. Liu Bei could abandon women and wives, but he could never
Two brothers would not be left behind. Guan Yu was killed, and Liu Bei found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he looked at Guan Yu lying quietly in the coffin. He felt sad but even more angry.
The person who killed Guan Yu was undoubtedly Wang Can's subordinate.
To take revenge, the natural choice is to kill Wang Can.
Zhang Fei took a deep breath, wiped his reddish eyes, walked slowly to Liu Bei, helped Liu Bei up, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I'm going to avenge my second brother, are you going?" His tone was decisive and revealing.
An unquestionable feeling.
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Yide, the deceased is the most important, so bury Yunchang first, and then send troops to attack Shangyong."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei nodded and agreed.
Liu Bei said again: "Let's go, I will personally carry the coffin for the second brother and carry the second brother back." After saying that, Liu Bei pushed back the coffin lid, then walked to the left side in front of the coffin, preparing to carry the coffin himself.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei also walked to the right side in front of the coffin and prepared to carry the coffin. When the soldiers standing in the distance saw this, two soldiers quickly ran over and stood behind the coffin.
A group of people carried the coffin back to the camp.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei carried the coffin and walked slowly.
Liu Bei shed tears as he walked.
He was grieving in his heart, on the one hand because he was not a real brother but he was better than a real brother and he suddenly let go; on the other hand, because he lost one of his generals and lost an arm. The two factors combined made it difficult for Liu Bei to accept.
Unable to hold back the sad emotions.
Liu Bei carried the coffin back to the camp, and the entire army buried Guan Yu in a grand ceremony.
In front of Guan Yu's tomb, Liu Bei murmured: "Second brother, eldest brother will temporarily place you here. After the situation is stabilized, eldest brother will move you back. Don't worry, eldest brother will definitely kill Wang Can and avenge you. You are underground
, I want to bless my eldest brother Wang Can. My second brother, have a safe journey!"
Zhang Fei stood aside, listening to Liu Bei's intermittent words, and felt a little sad in his heart.
…
Early the next morning, Liu Bei led his troops and rushed to Shangyong City to attack Shangyong.
Liu Bei's more than 10,000 soldiers were all dressed in plain clothes and wore mourning clothes.
Wang Can received the news that Liu Bei was sending troops, so he did not garrison Shangyong, but boldly attacked. He had strong generals such as Dian Wei, Pang De, Gan Ning, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren under his command. Even if Zhou Tai and Lu Meng were unable to participate in the battle, they were enough to defeat Liu Bei.
Therefore, Wang Can stationed troops outside the city and faced Liu Bei's army.
Without saying a word, Liu Bei ordered the enemy to be killed.
The army rushed to kill, and more than 10,000 soldiers under Liu Bei's command rushed forward.
Zhang Fei was wearing fish scale armor and a white shirt outside. He was riding a horse with a snake spear that was eight feet long, roaring loudly. Zhang Fei was filled with resentment. Now when he met the soldiers under Wang Can's command, he vented them all.
Wherever the zhangba snake spear passed, people were turned upside down, corpses were flying, and flesh and blood was scattered everywhere. It could be described as a hell on earth.
The blood dyed Zhang Fei's white clothes red, and the blood stains splashed onto Zhang Fei's face, making Zhang Fei's cheeks even more disgusting and terrifying.
While Zhang Fei was fighting hard, Dian Wei, Pang De, Gan Ning, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren surrounded Zhang Fei.
These five people aimed at Zhang Fei.
At this time, Liu Bei also went to the battlefield in person. Liu Bei carried two swords, one in each hand. His martial arts were also quite good. Although he could not compare with Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and others, he still came and went on the battlefield.
Zongheng killed the soldiers with fear. However, Liu Bei and Zhang Feiguang obviously did not have the courage to fight because their strength was not as good as Wang Can.
This is not only the number of generals, but also the number of soldiers, and the quality of weapons and equipment.
In terms of soldiers alone, Liu Bei brought more than 20,000 soldiers, but when he attacked Shangyong City, there were countless casualties, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers. However, Wang Can brought nearly 10,000 soldiers from Hanzhong.
Twenty thousand people, and adding the garrison of Shangyong City into it, the number of soldiers becomes even larger, surpassing Liu Bei's soldiers.
Not only that, each soldier is equipped with a Han sword, and the weapons are more advanced than those of Liu Bei's soldiers.
As soon as the two armies clashed, Liu Bei's soldiers were immediately at a disadvantage.
Zhang Fei was besieged by Dian Wei and five others, and was also in danger.
After Liu Bei led his men to fight for a while, he found that his soldiers were retreating steadily, and he and Zhang Fei were also in trouble, unable to resist, so he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.
A big battle that ended in an anticlimax.
Wang Can saw Liu Bei retreating and did not send troops to pursue him. He withdrew his troops and returned to Shangyong City.
For Wang Can, it is almost impossible and very difficult to kill Liu Bei in one fell swoop.
Furthermore, Liu Bei cannot be successful for the time being and cannot pose a threat to Wang Can. Now that Lu Bu has been killed and Xuzhou has no owner, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu must be ready to plot against Xuzhou, so someone must contain Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, otherwise the situation may not be stable.
Under control, Cao Cao became the dominant one, sweeping Xuzhou and Yangzhou.
In addition, Yizhou suffered from successive battles, and the soldiers needed to rest and recuperate. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other princes jointly attacked Yizhou, which put great pressure on Yizhou and had to stop and recuperate.
Wang Can withdrew his troops and returned. He was neither sad nor happy, and his mood did not change.
However, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei returned with their soldiers, and both Zhang Fei and Liu Bei fell silent.
Zhang Fei faced the siege of Dian Wei and five others alone and fell into a quagmire. Fortunately, his mount was powerful enough and he was able to retreat calmly. Under such circumstances, even if Zhang Fei wanted to avenge Guan Yu, it was difficult to find a chance, so
When he returned to the camp, he was gloomy and silent.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei sat in the tent, neither speaking.
The atmosphere was unusually solemn.
At this time, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, and Jian Yong strode in. Jian Yong saluted Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, clasped his fists and said, "Jian Yong, a humble official, pays homage to my lord!"
Liu Bei asked: "Xianhe (Jian Yong), what's the matter?"
Jian Yong raised his hands and said, "I would like to ask my lord and the three generals to retreat and return to Runan!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he stood up as if he had put a few thumbtacks under his butt. He looked unhappy and shouted loudly: "Wang Can kills my second brother. This is an irreconcilable hatred. I will not stop fighting until I kill Wang Can!"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, and when he saw Liu Bei nodding in agreement, he felt calm in his heart. Although both of them had no choice, they were unwilling to retreat.
Jian Yong immediately said: "Third general, Wang Can is very powerful. Today's battle has shown that we cannot defeat Wang Can. If the second general is alive, he is not willing to see the third general and the lord stay here."
Zhang Fei curled his lips and said: "Bullshit!"
Jian Yong smiled bitterly and continued: "The third general, Lu Bu, was killed, and Xuzhou immediately fell into turmoil. Now Yuan Shu is returning to Xuzhou in a hurry, with the purpose of capturing Xuzhou and expanding his own power. If we continue to stay in Shangyong,
If we let Yuan Shu develop, wouldn't it be an advantage to Yuan Shu?"
"The Second General's revenge cannot be avenged now, but it does not mean that he cannot be avenged in the future."
"My lord recruits talented people to increase his strength, and one day he can kill Wang Can."
"Now that my lord has occupied Yuzhou and is separatist, it is time to make vigorous progress. Runan is bordered by Yangzhou and Xuzhou. My lord cannot sit back and watch Yuan Shu capture Xuzhou, so he must return to Runan as soon as possible. Withdrawing the troops does not mean abandoning the hatred of the two generals, but
It’s to keep the hatred in your heart and think about the Lord’s great cause!”
When Jian Yong said what he said, Liu Bei nodded inconspicuously. After listening to Jian Yong's words, Zhang Fei also understood that Jian Yong's words were reasonable and related to Liu Bei's great cause, so he could only remain silent.
After a long time, Zhang Fei said: "Brother, withdraw your troops!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Only after Zhang Fei agreed could he order the withdrawal of troops!
