The first thousand and sixty-six chapters gather the fierce generals
Although the three brothers Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are somewhat famous, they are only within a very small range. For most of the princes present, Liu Bei is really not in their eyes.
You must know that Liu Bei and the other three came to participate in the alliance with Gongsun Zan, and they were regarded as Gongsun Zan's personal followers. This time without Cao Cao's help, it is conceivable that Liu Bei and three others were insignificant existences among the coalition forces.
However, most people don't know much about Liu Bei and the others, but Kong Rong knows a lot about Liu Bei and Lu Zhi. After all, Kong Rong and Lu Zhi can be considered good friends, and they also have some understanding of the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Zhi.
Understood.
When they heard that Kong Rong said that they knew something about Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, everyone couldn't help but look at Kong Rong.
After all, Zhang Fei's voice shook the world, and even people with no knowledge of it realized that Zhang Fei was a fierce general. He might not be much worse than Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and he might even be stronger.
That was fine during the Taiping Era, but nowadays, with all the chaos happening, a strong general with powerful force will naturally become the target of many people.
Since Zhang Fei has the potential to be a powerful general, naturally some people will come up with the idea of recruiting him. However, everyone doesn’t know much about Zhang Fei. When Kong Rong said this, they all stared at Kong Rong.
Rong, I want to get some useful information from Kong Rong.
Only when Kong Rong slowly told what he knew about the deeds of the three brothers Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, did everyone roughly understand that Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's sworn brother, and Liu Bei was Lu's brother.
Zhi's disciples, and even some of Liu Bei's previous experiences were narrated by Kong Rong.
Of course, everyone didn't take Liu Bei's small officials to heart, but they also heard something from Kong Rong's words, that is, if you want to recruit a strong general like Zhang Fei, it is best to start with Liu Bei.
In this era, being sworn to Jinlan is really like a brother. Unless Zhang Fei is the kind of treacherous person, otherwise, Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, will definitely have a great influence on Zhang Fei.
Several princes even planned to win over Liu Bei. If they could bring Liu Bei under their command, wouldn't they be able to get a strong general like Zhang Fei?
While everyone was thinking about this, Yuan Shu on the side looked at everyone with a strange look and said with a bit of disdain: "Everyone, don't forget that the three Liu Bei brothers are Gongsun Zan's subordinates. Are you pretending that Gongsun Zan doesn't exist?
"
As soon as Yuan Shu said these words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, they only wanted to win over Zhang Fei, but they forgot that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were brothers in the same school, and the three brothers Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were accompanying them.
Gongsun Zan came to join the alliance together, and they were obviously Gongsun Zan's men. If they went to poach, they might not be trying to offend Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan's strength is quite strong. At least most of the princes present are not as powerful as Gongsun Zan. After some people figured this out, they naturally gave up their thoughts, but there were still some people who were unwilling to give in and wondered whether they could
Win over the three Liu Bei brothers for their use.
Not to mention the various thoughts of the princes here because of Zhang Fei's voice, here Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others led an army of nearly ten thousand roaring in.
They pursued all the way, but were a step too late. When they reached the vicinity of Hulao Pass, they could only watch as Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and the others fled away with their men.
After confirming that they could not catch up with Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others, Yan Liang and Wen Chou briefly discussed it and headed straight for the coalition camp.
As one of the princes who formed the alliance, Sun Jian was naturally slightly superior in status. At this moment, he came on horseback. When they got closer, a group of princes headed by Yuan Shao said to Sun Jian with a smile on their faces:
"It's really gratifying for Grandmaster Sun to come here victorious and boost the morale of our army."
If they really ambushed Lu Bu and Taishi Ci, that would be fine. But this time they can be said to be extremely well prepared. However, even under the circumstances, they were not able to keep Lu Bu, Taishi Ci and others, and even allowed them to stay.
A few people led the remaining soldiers and horses and fled, which in Sun Jian's eyes was simply a failure.
Hearing Yuan Shao say this, Sun Jian couldn't help showing a bit of shame on his face, shaking his head and saying: "The alliance leader is so embarrassed that he killed Sun. Mr. Jushou's plan was perfect, but he never expected us to execute it."
If you are not strong enough, you are not able to keep Lu Bu, Tai Shici and others, and even let them attack the army, so how can you talk about a great victory!"
What Sun Jian said was true, but Yuan Shao and the others looked at each other and smiled. Yuan Shao could only hear Yuan Shao say solemnly: "Prefect Sun is different from what he said. This time, he successfully ambushed Lu Bu, and Tai Shi Ci's troops destroyed the opponent."
Judging from this alone, the conspiracy to rob our army’s food supply route cannot be considered a great victory!”
Kong Rong stroked his beard and said to Sun Jian: "We need a big victory, so..."
Sun Jian is not a fool. Kong Rong has said so. If he still can't react, then he is too slow.
The successive defeats of the coalition forces naturally had a great impact on the morale of the army. Therefore, for the coalition forces, a victory was too much needed to boost the morale of the warriors. Now Sun Jian and others ambushed Lu Bu. Although Taishi Ci did not end well, it still did not end well.
As Yuan Shao said, at least it destroyed the opponent's plan to plunder the grain road, which can be regarded as a great victory.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Jian nodded slightly towards Yuan Shao.
At this time, Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Everyone who has won the victory should have a banquet to celebrate. However, the army is currently attacking the city. When Hulao Pass is broken, we will celebrate in Hulao Pass."
The attention of Sun Jian and others naturally shifted to Hulao Pass. At this time, the battle above could be said to be intense. The defenders in Hulao Pass were resisting the offensive of the coalition forces below.
However, after being uncomfortable at the beginning, the defenders on the city wall have gradually adapted to the offensive, and are faintly suppressing the siege coalition forces under the city wall.
Originally, Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao and others attacked fiercely at the beginning, and even killed them on the city wall. However, when the generals guarding the city reacted, they naturally drove Sun Ce and others off the city wall, and they were no longer able to attack.
Go up to town.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon. For most of the day, the corpses killed by the armies of both sides were piled up like mountains under the city.
In the evening, all the princes who had been staring at the city wall couldn't help sighing. As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao finally couldn't help but give the order: "Pass my order and withdraw the troops!"
The sound of ringing gold sounded, and the crisp sound of ringing gold spread in all directions. The soldiers of the coalition army who were originally attacking the city were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound of ringing gold. Then they reacted and receded like an ebbing tide.
Seeing the coalition soldiers below who had fought desperately with them retreat like a tide, the soldiers guarding the city were also a little unable to react.
However, when everyone came to their senses and looked at the retreating coalition soldiers, many people couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and many even fell to the ground directly, as if they had lost all strength.
Even Chu Yi, who had been standing on the top of the city, secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. In fact, most of the city defenders had never experienced war and could be regarded as new recruits. If it were not for the fact that a considerable number of Western soldiers had been recruited previously.
As for the Liang soldiers, I am afraid that the battle situation will not be so stable.
In Chu Yi's view, the first station of defending the city is the most important and the most difficult, but as long as the first station is overcome, the soldiers will undergo earth-shaking changes after gaining experience and seeing blood.
Become an experienced soldier directly.
As for the coalition forces, their morale is also at its peak only at the first stop. If they cannot defeat it in one battle, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army and the confidence of the soldiers.
Chu Yi can't guarantee that he can defend Hulao Pass 100%, but after this battle, at least the certainty of holding Hulao Pass can be improved by more than a few chips.
Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others led the remaining soldiers of less than a thousand people into Hulao Pass.
In the general's palace, Lu Bu and Tai Shici prostrated themselves on the ground, looking like they were begging for forgiveness. They heard Lu Bu say: "The last general did something wrong, which caused the army to be tricked and suffered heavy losses. I have failed to entrust you to the marquis, so please forgive me."
I will punish you!"
Taishi Ci also knelt there obediently. Although it was not entirely their fault, after all, no one expected that a normal act of robbing food would fall into the opponent's plan.
But no matter what, as the generals in charge of the army, they naturally have to bear the main responsibility for this defeat.
Chu Yi glanced at Lu Bu and Tai Shici. The two looked a little embarrassed. This was after cleaning up. It can be imagined that the two were ambushed and the situation must be extremely dangerous.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi looked at the two of them and said, "You two are about to pass by!"
Lu Bu opened his mouth and slowly explained how he ambushed the grain road normally and how he fell into the opponent's plan. Taishi Ci then added that the two of them spoke to each other, perfectly recreating the situation at that time.
The generals around listened to the two men's stories, and the scene of how the two fell into the scheme appeared in their minds.
In particular, Lu Bu looked angry and said: "If Sun Jian, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the red-faced Guan Yu hadn't joined forces, why would Lv be like this!"
It can be seen that Lu Bu was very unhappy that he was being besieged by a group of people. But he, Lu Bu, had nothing to fear when fighting alone.
Whether it is Yan Liang, Wen Chou or Sun Jian, everyone present knows that these people are all powerful generals. Even if they are not as good as Lu Bu, there are so many people present. Except for Lu Bu Huang Huazong, no one can guarantee that they can win the opponent.
of.
Lu Bu was able to save his life under the siege of so many fierce generals. Apart from marveling at Lu Bu's unparalleled military power, what else could everyone say.
Even Chu Yi was amazed by Lu Bu's luck. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Sun Jian alone were enough for Lu Bu to handle, let alone Guan Yu.
It can be said that Lu Bu was not surrounded and killed by the four men. It was really Lu Bu's luck. Even Chu Yi had no doubt that if Huang Zhong had arrived so late, Lu Bu might have been surrounded and killed by the other party.
Taishi Ci coughed lightly and said, "In addition to these few people, there is also a fierce general Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. If this person hadn't held me back, maybe General Lu wouldn't have been so difficult."
Everyone has heard about the names of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu from Chu Yi, but no one paid much attention to them at the time. Now it seems that what Chu Yi said at the time, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, are brave enough to be worthy of any man.
It's really not false.
Chu Yi waved his hand and signaled to Lu Bu. Tai Shici and the two stood up and said, "This battle is not your fault. Even Chu did not expect that the other side would put up such a formation to ambush you two."
Just as Chu Yi said, he did not expect Yuan Shao to be so courageous. He even sent people like Yan Liangwen, Chou Sun Jian, and Guan Yu together. Such a gorgeous lineup was almost half of the top military forces of the coalition. Lu Bu, Tai Shi Ci
They were really lucky to be able to escape alive.
With a bit of unwillingness, Lu Bu said to Chu Yi: "Master Marquis, is this the end of the matter?"
It was obvious that Lu Bu was very unhappy about the defeat in this battle.
Chu Yi smiled and said: "Why, Fengxian still wants to leave the city?"
Lü Bu snorted coldly and said: "Lü is bold and begs the Marquis to let me lead the trapped camp out of the city. In the end, the general will definitely turn him upside down."
Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said: "There are many fierce generals in the coalition. In a single fight, no one is Fengxian's opponent. But if the other party attacks regardless of their status, even if Fengxian leads the camp, you will still be unable to defeat them with both fists."
When the time comes, even the trapped camp will have to join forces."
Obviously, Chu Yi did not agree to Lu Bu's proposal. Although the trapped camp was strong, it was no match for the coalition forces who were besieging them regardless of their status.
At this moment, the general Fang Yue quietly walked up to Chu Yi and spoke in a low voice. Chu Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly under everyone's gaze and said: "You may as well follow me to recruit a strong general.
"
Except for Cao Cao, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia, everyone else really didn't know about Dian Wei. Now when they heard what Chu Yi said, many people looked curious.
To be called a fierce general by Chu Yi, he must be at least a strong man like Tai Shi Ci or Gan Ning.
Although today's battle opened everyone's eyes and saw many generals in the coalition forces, there are still very few who can be called strong generals.
Now everyone is extremely curious. Who is the person called Dian Wei? That Chu Yi values so much that he even wants to conquer him personally.
Soon everyone followed Chu Yi to the school field in front of the general's mansion.
From a distance, I saw a burly man standing there. This man gave people an invincible feeling just by standing there, and his whole body was filled with a real evil spirit. Many people couldn't bear it just by looking at him.
My heart trembled, and I felt like I was inferior to the other person.
