In October of the third year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei was defeated by the Imperial Army and led his troops to Xiaopei. Cao Cao went out to talk with Liu Bei, talking about gains and losses, the lives of soldiers, and the righteousness of the country and the people. Liu Bei was silent. Later, the two families stopped fighting. Book of Eastern Han
The book continued, and Yang Lei thought of Cao Cao's plan. There were not many people in the room who were stupid. Soon, Jian Yong said,""My lord, why don't we attack them with our troops and listen to Cao Cao's words and let them retreat calmly? Although Cao Cao has retreated now, his vitality has not been damaged, and his army is still there. In the future, he will certainly become a great disaster.”
At this moment, Lu Bu finally understood and said angrily,""What a cunning old thief."
When Liu Bei heard this, he swept his eyes around and saw that everyone was looking at him. He said,"It's not that I don't want to lead my troops to attack, but because I listened to Cao Cao's words, the two families had no choice but to stop fighting.”
After a pause, he saw confusion on everyone's faces. "Cao Cao's army of 100,000 is stationed at Xiaopei City. Although they have just suffered a defeat, Cao Cao's army is very strict. His army does not show any signs of panic or depression. Instead, their morale is high, as if they want to avenge their previous humiliation." Moreover, Cao Cao's army seems to have entered a dangerous place and is surrounded by our army on three sides. However, Xiaopei has few soldiers and has been attacked for three days in a row. The soldiers are tired and useless. Therefore, Little Pei Shi couldn't be counted. There are still 20,000 good soldiers in the Great Stronghold of Jiuli Mountain, plus 30,000 soldiers under my command, which should be 100,000 against 50,000. With 50,000 elite soldiers against 100,000 soldiers trapped in a dangerous place, even if they could win, it would be a tragic victory. After the battle, I'm afraid less than one-tenth of our 50,000 troops will remain. At that time, the one who will benefit will be Yuan Shao in Hebei or Sun Ce in Jiangdong, not me and Cao Cao. Therefore, the two families had no choice but to stop fighting.”When everyone heard this, they all nodded and said that it was great.
Yang Lei thought about it for a while. It made sense. Under such circumstances, he probably wouldn't start a war. After all, it was 50,000 against 100,000. In the era of cold weapons, no one was confident of winning.
Ten days later, the scouts reported that the Cao army of Lingbi had retreated, and Sun Ce's army of Si County had returned to Huainan. At this point, Cao Cao and Sun Ce's plan to attack Liu Bei failed. However, Sun Ce occupied Huainan and was ready to fight to the death with Yuan Shu, who wanted to take back Huainan. Zhang Xiu of Wancheng had planned to make a move when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, but when he saw Cao Cao's army retreat and Li Tong leading the army to guard the western border of Runan, he knew that he could not do anything, so he stopped.
A celebratory feast was held in the Xu Prefecture Governor's mansion. Other than Chen Deng who was still in Guangling, all the other generals who had participated in the battle had arrived. The two rows on the left were Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yang Lei, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba. The last row was Wei Xu, Gao Shun, Sun Guan, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Liu Pi, and Huang Xu. On the right side was Sun Qian, followed by Jian Yong, Chen Qun, Mi Zhu and Sun Kang.
Liu Bei looked around and was very satisfied. Eh, other than the lack of civil officials and strategists, there were indeed enough generals. The generals, Song Xian, Guan Ping, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Chang Xi, Yin Li, Wu Dun, and the others had yet to arrive, but the civil officials were only missing Chen Deng. Thinking back to how he had been schemed against by Cao Cao's strategists, he was confused. If Yang Yuting had not attacked Yu Jin's army in the rainy night, Tan City would probably still be surrounded by Cao Cao's army. He still lacked a strategist. When would his own Zi Fang appear? Forget it, let's not talk about this for the time being. Today is a celebration, so I advise the generals not to mention drinking.
Lu Bu was very happy. It was very simple. Today, he was the leader of the generals. What did this mean? It meant that he, Marquis Wen, was ranked first in Liu Bei's eyes. He could not help but surpass Yang Lei, who was skilled in both literature and martial arts. He had even surpassed Guan Yu, who was incomparably brave and resourceful. As for Zhang Fei, hmph, hmph, I won't lower myself to the level of a butcher. However, Yang Lei was easy to talk to. However, with Guan Yu's arrogance, Zhang Fei's straight-faced man did not express any dissatisfaction today. What did this mean? It also meant that they also recognized him as the number one general under Liu Shijun. Lu Bu thought excitedly as he drank.
In fact, this seating arrangement had been decided by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yang Lei last night. At that time, Zhang Fei had been very dissatisfied and had clamored to fight Lu Bu for 300 rounds. Although Guan Yu did not say anything, he narrowed his eyes. Even Yang Lei felt a little strange. Liu Bei explained to them. At this time, Yang Lei knew that Lu Bu was older than Liu Bei, and was also a Marquis Wen and General Vigorous. Most importantly, Lu Bu and Guan Yu were in-laws, so they were all related. To put it bluntly, Lu Bu was already tied to them. Zhang Fei was still not convinced, shouting that the servants of the three surnames could not be trusted easily. Liu Bei only said one sentence, if Lu Bu betrayed me again, there would be no place for him in the world. When Guan Yu and Yang Lei heard this, they expressed their support. As for Zhang Fei, he did not say anything. After returning to the residence to rest, Yang Lei tried to persuade him a few more times. Only then did Zhang Fei agree that he would not mess around at the banquet. Hence, Lu Bu was now at the banquet, looking very pleased with himself.
Wei Yan sat in the back row. As he drank, his eyes kept sweeping across the row of generals in front of him. Zhang Liao and Zang Ba were his superiors, Lu Bu was once his superior's superior, Guan Zhangyang was the lord's sworn brother, and Huang Hansheng was an expert who could fight Wen Hou for fifty rounds and still be slightly better at archery. Xiahou Yuan, whom he and Chen Dao had defeated together, had been defeated by this person. This person was over fifty years old, but he was really incomparably brave. In addition, he was also from Jingzhou. Hmph hmph, it's all because Liu Biao doesn't know how to use people, that's why we generals came to submit to the lord. His lord was truly courageous. He was able to easily defeat Cao Cao and Sun Ce's 200,000-strong alliance army. Following his lord would definitely lead to a bright future. Moreover, his lord was so benevolent that the people would have long built a shrine for him. Wei Yan pondered as he drank his wine.
Liu Bei quickly fixed his eyes on Wei Yan. This person had a similar face to his second brother, except for the big beard. According to Wen Yuan, it was him and Chen Dao who joined the army and defeated Xiahou Yuan and rescued Liu Pi. En, he was really a tiger general. If he were to polish it well in the future, he would definitely become a great person. That's right, that person called Chen Dao, why does he feel like he's the same person? Liu Bei sized him up again and suddenly understood. His eyes swept over Gao Shun. This Chen Dao's temperament was very similar to Gao Shun's. Liu Bei was a little excited. Wasn't this the loyal and brave general he had been searching for? However, he still had to talk to him face to face and understand him deeply before he could confirm it. After all, he was looking for the leader of his personal guards. The banquet was filled with laughter. Yang Lei looked at all of this and suddenly thought of an idiom: the world is at peace.
A few days after the banquet, Yang Lei suggested to Liu Bei that he wanted to form a force like the Breaking Ranks Camp, the elite of the elite. Liu Bei agreed and appointed the commander of this army, Chen Dao and Chen Shuzhi from Runan, and named them the White Soldiers. Yang Lei, who wanted to personally command this unit, was depressed for a long time.
However, after seeing Chen Dao, he felt that this person was really quite honest, but just like Gao Shun, he was very upright. Yang Lei finally understood why Liu Bei had chosen Chen Dao to be the leader of this elite troop. It was because he wanted Gao Shun, who was by Lu Bu's side, but he could not get his hands on him, so he had found a replacement. Yang Lei thought about it and found it funny. However, since he was Liu Bei's personal guard, he still had to be careful. Therefore, he selected a thousand soldiers from the garrison of Tancheng. They were all good at horse and horse combat, and they were even good at archery. As for the result of his training, Yang Lei was confident that it would not be worse than the Breaking Ranks Camp.
However, Zhang Liao was later transferred back to Tancheng. Zang Ba was promoted to the position of the chief commander of Jiuli Mountain, and Wei Yan was his deputy. Although Wei Yan's appearance surprised Yang Lei, he wasn't too surprised. After all, he was from another time and space. He clearly knew that many things had deviated from the right direction. At the very least, Liu Bei no longer had Xu Prefecture. As for Liu Pi, Liu Bei made him a lieutenant and appointed him in Xuzhou. All in all, Xuzhou was developing well and was thriving. If not for the sudden arrival of a messenger, perhaps Yang Lei would really doubt whether he was still in the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms.
That person had arrived with Chen Gong's messenger, and it was already December. Sun Ce had already given up on Huainan, not because he could not defeat Ji Ling, but because Liu Biao had sent Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, and Huang Zu to attack Hukou with the water army. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai had fought hard and retreated to Yuzhang. Sun Ce was afraid that Liu Biao would take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong, and he was afraid that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei would attack together, so he abandoned Huainan and returned to Jiangdong. Before Zhou Yu retreated, he sighed and said,"If you want to become a king in Jiangdong, you must first occupy Jianghuai before you can gain an advantage." Now that he had abandoned Huainan to defend the Yangtze River, he would only be able to defend it in the future, but it would be even more difficult to advance.”However, things were urgent, and Sun Ce also thought that Yuan Shu was just a skeleton in a coffin, so he said to Zhou Yu,"If we give up Huainan today, I will defeat Liu Biao in the future and bring my troops to take it back.”Zhou Yu was silent.
When Liu Bei saw this messenger, the civil and military officials were looking at the intelligence report, thinking about whether they should give Yuan Shu a blow and seize the rich land of Huainan. A report interrupted the heated debate between the civil officials and generals. The soldier reported,""There's a person outside the door who claims to be Gongsun Zan's messenger. He's here to ask for help.”Everyone was stunned. Liu Bei hurriedly called for them to come in.
As soon as the messenger entered, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei stood up and said in unison,""Zilong." Yang Lei was dumbfounded. Wasn't Zilong Zhao Yun? He hurriedly looked over and saw that this person had a fair face, two sword-like eyebrows, a nose that was like a hanging gallbladder, two round ears, and a trace of light flashing in his eyes. He was about 1.85 meters tall and about 25 or 26 years old. He was really a handsome guy (please don't force Zhao Yun's age).）。
When Yang Lei saw this, he praised her in his heart. In the future, she would definitely be a superstar with both strength and idol.
When Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei, he hurriedly bowed and said,""Envoy, please send troops to save Lord Gongsun.”
Shocked, Liu Bei hurriedly asked for more details. Zhao Yun slowly said. When Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao started a battle, Ju Yi took the lead and defeated the White Horse Yi's followers. Then they were defeated in successive battles and were now surrounded in the capital of Yi. Gongsun Zan saw that the situation was urgent and sent Gongsun Xu to ask the Black Mountain Army for help. He also thought of his old classmate Liu Bei and sent Zhao Yun, who could be saved by Liu Bei, to ask for help.
Liu Bei was thinking. The Chinese character that looked like a black tower behind Zhao Yun and the other burly man took a few steps forward and walked straight to Guan Yu. They bowed and said,"Zhou Cang (Pei Yuan Shao) greets General Guan.”Guan Yu was stunned for a moment before looking at Zhao Yun. "These two met on the way here," said Zhao Yun."They've admired your reputation for a long time, so they've come to meet you."”Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this. He asked the two of them to stand up and stand at the side. He would make arrangements for the two of them after the discussion was over.
