Three Kingdoms King of the North

Seeing Guan Yu defending Jian Yong, Liu Bei felt displeased, but still said with a smile on his face: "Second brother, Xianhe will be with you as your brother, and your brother will naturally know how he behaves. It was just a joke, so don’t take it seriously.”

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Guan Yu, out of trust in him, naturally believed what he said, so he didn't say anything, but left the big tent and went outside to patrol the camp.

Looking at Guan Yu's leaving back, Liu Bei couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.Ever since the last night attack on Han Zhan's barracks outside Pingyuan County failed and Zhang Fei was involved instead, Guan Yu has on different occasions persuaded himself to make peace with Jizhou in order to settle the suspicion.

For Guan Yu's proposal, Liu Bei always smiled and agreed every time, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.He knew very well in his heart that with so many famous ministers and generals in Jizhou, even if he made up his mind to submit to Jizhou, he might not have a bright future.Instead of living a mediocre life like that, it would be better to help Gongsun Zan with determination. If the other party can win the world, maybe he can follow him.

Considering that Jian Yong did not wait to successfully send his letter to Ji County, Liu Bei immediately wrote a new letter.After finishing writing, he handed it to Zhang Fei and told him, "Third brother, this letter is of great importance. Please go to Ji County yourself and hand this letter to Brother Bogui."

Zhang Fei took the letter and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, younger brother will definitely deliver this letter to General Gongsun's Mansion in Ji County intact."

The reason why Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to deliver this letter was of course because he considered that Jizhou soldiers would intercept him on the road. If ordinary people were sent there, the letter might fall into Han Zhan's hands.But if Zhang Fei goes out, there are not many people in the world who can stop him.

Zhang Fei took Liu Bei's letter to Gongsun Zan, led a hundred cavalry, left the camp and headed towards Ji County.Although as soon as he left the stronghold, he was discovered by the Tanma arranged by Han Zhan nearby.However, Tanma recognized that it was Liu Bei's righteous brother Zhang Fei who was delivering the letter this time, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but hurried to the city to report to Han Zhan.

Knowing that Liu Bei actually sent Zhang Fei to deliver the letter, Han Zhan couldn't help being taken aback, wondering if there was anything important in Liu Bei's letter to Gongsun Zan?Otherwise, why would you send Zhang Fei, a military general with overwhelming strength, to act as an ordinary messenger?Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others who were standing nearby saw that Han Zhan had been silent for a long time. Although they were anxious, they couldn't take the initiative to ask.

After a while, Han Zhan woke up from his contemplation, and saw Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others standing aside, looking at him with concern.He quickly laughed at himself and said, "The Marquis is thinking, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to deliver the letter, what is written in the letter, I can't help thinking about it."

"My lord!" Dian Wei bowed and asked, "Zhang Fei has just left the camp. I believe that as long as we hurry up, we can catch up in an hour at most. The last general asks for orders to go and arrest Zhang Fei and others."

Han Zhan stared at Dian Wei and thought, "Although your ranking is higher than Zhang Fei, if you want to defeat the opponent, there are not hundreds of confluences. I guess there is no winner." Therefore, for Dian Wei's request , He shook his head, and said slowly: "The combat power of Youzhou soldiers, I think everyone has seen clearly in the battle yesterday. These are veterans of many battles, but Liu Bei who commanded this army Their level is limited, so they can't bring out their best combat power. Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to Ji County. I think it's the same purpose as sending Jian Yong to Ji County. It's nothing more than asking one of Gongsun Zan's confidant generals to assist them in commanding this army. Troops, to increase the chances of winning the battle with our army. But now that the Youzhou Army has been newly defeated, the morale of the army is fluctuating, and the morale is low. What an easy thing."

Dian Wei saw that Han Zhan was not willing to send himself to chase Zhang Fei, so he closed his mouth and silently stepped aside, thinking to himself: I have seen Zhang Fei in the past, his martial arts are as good as his own, I really want to fight Thinking about it, it is estimated that there are not hundreds of rounds, and it is impossible to tell the winner.

Zhang Fei led a group of cavalry and arrived in Bohai County after three days of traveling.

Du Bo, who led the team, smiled and said to Zhang Fei: "Third General, we will reach Jixian after two more days of walking."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei showed a proud smile on his face: "I thought that Jizhou Mu would send people to chase us after we left the camp. But after walking for so long, we didn't see anyone stop us. It seems that they Didn't realize we left the camp at all."

Although Du Bo didn't say anything about Zhang Fei's statement, he was thinking in his heart: "The scouts in Jizhou are scattered around the camp. How could they not find out that more than 100 people left the camp? So I didn't chase, probably because I saw the three generals and felt that there was no chance of winning, so I stood still."

Zhang Fei came here early in the morning, and he still hasn't had any water or rice yet.Seeing that he had already arrived in the territory of Bohai County, he didn't have to worry about Han Zhan's soldiers coming out from all around, so he announced loudly: "Listen, all soldiers, get off your horses and rest, and find a place to eat some dry food before leaving."

Seeing Guan Yu defending Jian Yong, Liu Bei felt displeased, but still said with a smile on his face: "Second brother, Xianhe will be with you as your brother, and your brother will naturally know how he behaves. It was just a joke, so don’t take it seriously.”

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Guan Yu, out of trust in him, naturally believed what he said, so he didn't say anything, but left the big tent and went outside to patrol the camp.

Chapter 418

Han Zhan and Liu Bei, who were confronting each other outside Linji City, would never have imagined that Zhang Fei, who was sent to Ji County to ask Gongsun Zan for help, would encounter Yuan Shao and his son when they passed through Bohai County. Captured.

From the moment Zhang Fei left the barracks, Liu Bei was silently counting the days in his heart, hoping that Zhang Fei could bring Gongsun Zan's reinforcements and confidant generals as soon as possible.As for Han Zhan, although he knew that Zhang Fei had brought people to Ji County, he didn't take it to heart at all. According to his thinking, let alone Gongsun Zan sent two subordinates, even if Gongsun Zan came here in person, with his current strength, Still beat him until he cried.

Xun You, who besieged Linzi, sent a letter to say that Tian Chou in the city seemed to have noticed that the army was leaving, and had sent troops to attack the camp, but was defeated by Guan Hai and returned home.The letter also said that people in Linzi City are already in panic, if they take this opportunity to attack the city, they will surely succeed in one fell swoop.

Han Zhan summoned Zhao Yun and the others to the big tent, and after reading Xun You's letter, he asked, "Everyone, do you think Xun Gongda should be ordered to lead troops to attack the city?"

After reading the letter, Zhao Yun said to Han Zhan: "Master, if we want to return to Linzi, we must first completely defeat Liu Bei's soldiers and horses here. Otherwise, as soon as we return to the division, they will attack our army from behind. It's impossible to guard against."

In fact, Han Zhan wanted to eliminate Liu Bei, but it was just a matter of lifting his hands. The reason why he didn't do it for a long time was entirely because he hadn't figured out how to deal with Liu Bei.Once he handles it improperly, he will form a deadly enmity with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and it will be an endless situation.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he waited for a while, and seeing that Han Zhan still didn't speak, he said again: "My lord, I know that you want to recruit Guan and Zhang. But if you continue to fight with Liu Bei, it will only waste money and food. Why don't you act decisively and send troops?" Take down Liu Bei's camp."

"My lord, what General Zilong said is true." Tai Shici echoed, "Now that Zhang Fei is not in the camp, there is only one Guan Yu left. Even if he has the courage to be unworthy, under the siege of the few of us, he will be defeated." It's also hard to support alone. As long as he can be captured alive, he will be killed or cut, isn't it just a word from the lord."

Tai Shici's suggestion made Han Zhan's heart skip a beat.He pinched his chin and began to think. He felt that he had not considered this matter carefully.Since Liu Bei's last big defeat, he has been huddling in the camp and not fighting. If this stalemate continues, it will indeed be a waste of money and food.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan stood up and began to give orders: "Zilong, Dianwei obey!"

When Zhao Yun and Dian Wei heard Han Zhan calling them, they guessed that the other party was planning to send troops to attack Liu Bei, so they quickly and loudly replied, "The last general is here!"

"Immediately mobilize your troops and follow me to attack Liu Bei's camp." Considering that Liu Bei is a cunning man who might run away if the situation is wrong, Han Zhan ordered Tai Shici again: "Ziyi, take five thousand Soldiers and horses, go around to the west of Liu Bei's camp and ambush, and don't let Liu Bei escape."

Half an hour later, Han Zhan's army arrived outside Liu Bei's camp.Han Zhan glanced at the "Liu" flag fluttering in the camp, pointed forward with a whip, and ordered decisively: "Attack the village!"

With the sound of war drums, thousands of swords and shields covered more than [-] groups of soldiers carrying wooden ladders, and rushed towards Liu Bei's camp.Seeing Han Zhan's army rushing over, the defenders of the camp fired arrows desperately while sending someone to notify Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, who was in the big tent, heard the shouts of killing outside, and was about to send someone out to find out what happened, when suddenly a soldier ran in from outside, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and said with a look of panic: "My lord, something is wrong. The Jizhou army has begun to attack the camp."

Han Zhan and Liu Bei, who were confronting each other outside Linji City, would never have imagined that Zhang Fei, who was sent to Ji County to ask Gongsun Zan for help, would encounter Yuan Shao and his son when they passed through Bohai County. Captured.
