Seeing that they were about to reach the Dangyang Bridge, Han Gang and Zhao Yun increased their speed, hoping to escape from danger as soon as possible. At this moment, the figures of Zhang Fei and the others had already gradually entered Han Gang and Zhao Yun's eyes.
Gazing at the few people in the distance, Han Gang was mentally exhausted, but he suddenly became puzzled." Shouldn't Guan Yu be sent to ask for help? Why are you still here?"
At this moment, Zhao Yun shouted,""Yi De, quickly help me."
Without needing Zhao Yun to say anything, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and the other generals had already led their troops and rushed out from Dangyang Bridge. He was prepared to rescue the two of them.
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly called out to his soldiers. With a serious expression, he looked at the thousands of people in the distance. He realized that with Liu Bei's current strength, how could there be so many of them even when he was chasing after them? One had to know that Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and the others were leading more than five thousand soldiers. How many soldiers did Liu Bei have in total?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask himself doubtfully. He didn't dare to attack rashly. Thinking back, Xiahou Dun had fallen into an ambush last time, so Cao Cao didn't dare to take it lightly.
After Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the rest successfully rescued Han Gang and saw that the Cao army did not attack, Guan Yu whispered to Zhao Yun and Han Gang,"Young Master Liu Qi has already sent troops to rescue them, and most of the people have already boarded the ships. Zilong, quickly take Yu Qi onto the ships! Third Brother and I will cover your retreat."
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Han Gang smiled in a relaxed manner. He had already guessed that Liu Qi must have sent scouts to this area. After receiving the news, he brought a large group of ships to rescue Liu Bei. There were so many people. Although they were killed by the Cao army for a while, there were still more than 100,000 people. How many ships would that take? This also explained why Guan Yu, who had never appeared at Dangyang Bridge in history, had appeared here at this time. It was obvious that Liu Qi had arrived a long time earlier than in history.
Immediately, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the others protected Han Gang, who was covered in dozens of wounds. They slowly retreated until they reached the other end of the Dangyang Bridge. The Cao army in the distance did not retreat.
This attitude of neither attacking nor retreating caused Zhang Fei to be extremely irritated. He immediately gestured to Guan Yu and the others behind him, indicating for them to leave safely. After he defended the narrow Dangyang Bridge, he immediately shouted,"Yan people, Zhang Yide, who else dares to fight me?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound waves swept across the Cao army, causing many soldiers to panic. However, since their lord had not given the order to retreat, they did not dare to move. One had to know that the general on the bridge in front of them was a terrifying figure. Not only did he have a ferocious expression, but his burly figure was also a powerful person.
When Cao Cao heard Zhang Fei introduce himself, he sighed to his left and right,"When Commander Yun was in Xuchang, he once said that his third brother Zhang Yide took the head of a general from a million soldiers as if he was taking something out of a bag. Seeing it today, it really lives up to his reputation.”
As he spoke, Cao Cao seemed to recall Zhao Yun and Han Gang, who had just charged out from his army, and sighed in jealousy.
Seeing that the Cao army still did not move, Zhang Fei could not help but shout,"Why are you fighting and not retreating?”
This voice was much louder than before. Moreover, everyone saw that Zhang Fei had finished shouting his previous words and was waiting for General Cao to fight. They did not expect Zhang Fei to suddenly shout out when he was waiting with rapt attention. Moreover, this sound wave was even louder than the previous one.
The Cao soldiers were not mentally prepared and subconsciously took a step back. However, they did not expect Xia Houjie, who was at the front, to suddenly fall off his horse. Looking at the yellow foam at the corner of his mouth, it was obvious that his internal organs had been injured. Indeed, Xia Houjie was a relative of Cao Cao. However, due to his limited ability, he was not put in an important position. When he was chasing Zhao Yun, he was stabbed in the chest by Zhao Yun. After falling off his horse, in order to give Cao Cao a good impression, However, he did not rest much. When Zhao Yun and Han Gang fled, he quickly mounted his horse and chased after them.
He was already injured in his internal organs, and he was now in the lead. He was nearly a hundred meters ahead of the Cao soldiers. He was afraid that Zhang Fei would come and kill him. He was frightened twice in a row, and his heart could not take it anymore. He fell off his horse and convulsed to death.
This time, the Cao soldiers were even more terrified. Some of the soldiers at the front saw that Zhang Fei could kill with a shout, so how could they dare to stand close to him? They hurriedly retreated, but they didn't expect that their retreat would cause a huge change in the formation behind them. They squeezed and pushed each other, causing many to fall. Among them, many were trampled to death and injured by their comrades.
At this moment, Cao Cao understood that his morale had been shaken by Zhao Yun and Han Gang's attacks. Now that such a thing had happened, his morale was already low. In addition, Cao Cao was afraid that the other party had an ambush on the other side. He did not dare to stay here any longer and ordered loudly,"Retreat ten li."
What was a distance of ten miles? It was only a short journey. From this, it could be seen that Cao Cao wasn't willing to retreat just like that. After he investigated the other party's strength, he would definitely make further moves.
To be honest, Zhang Fei was also very surprised by the current situation. He didn't expect that he could scare off Cao Cao's army without killing them. However, since the situation was already like this, Zhang Fei didn't think too much about it. He looked at the people behind him who had already boarded the ships. After Cao Cao's army retreated, he ordered the surrounding soldiers,"Cut down this bridge and follow me onto the boat."
With that, he turned his horse around and ran back.
By the time Zhang Fei returned to Liu Bei's side, everyone had already boarded the boat. Zhang Fei hurriedly boarded the boat and asked the anxious Liu Bei,""Big brother, how is that kid Yuqi?”
Hearing Zhang Fei's concerned words, Liu Bei looked at the solemn faces of the crowd and replied softly,""Yu Qi is currently unconscious, but his injuries are quite serious and he has lost too much blood essence. Fortunately, he is a little younger and might need to recuperate for a few more days in the future. If it was an older person, this would probably be enough to take his life.”
After saying this, Liu Bei was already sobbing. Thinking about how Han Gang was fighting so hard for his family, although Liu Bei was a formidable person, he could not help but feel very touched. Liu Bei wiped the turbid liquid from the corner of his eyes and bowed to Zhuge Liang respectfully,"For the sake of the Bei family, the military advisor's beloved disciple is so tired.”
At this moment, Zhuge Liang did not know what to say. He quickly went forward to help Liu Bei up and said softly,"My lord, you don't have to do this. This is what I should do.”
Ignoring Zhuge Liang's humble words on behalf of his beloved disciple, Liu Bei said to Zhao Yun,""Fourth brother, because of your sister-in-law and nephew, I almost lost fourth brother. Tongyu Qi, now that Yuqi isn't here, I'll give you an order first. If something like this happens again in the future, put your own safety first and don't do anything dangerous. If you don't listen, even if you save the Bei family, I'll kill them in front of you.”
The moment Liu Bei's words came out, everyone was shocked. Zhao Yun immediately reacted and knelt on the ground, sobbing with gratitude,"My lord's kindness, Yun Wan's death cannot repay it.”
Even Zhao Yun, the valiant general, was so touched. Everyone felt their hearts ache. They thought about the commoners who stayed on Dangyang Road. They did not know that these heroes of the world basically had red eyes and sour noses. Liu Bei could not control his emotions and walked out of the cabin. Everyone behind him followed.
Standing on the deck, tears streamed down her face as she looked at the corpses of the commoners that were still clearly visible on Dangyang Road.
Coincidentally, Cao Cao had heard that Zhang Fei had cut down the bridge and guessed that there were no ambushes. After rebuilding the pontoon bridge and catching up, he saw Liu Bei's ship heading into the distance.
At this moment, Cao Cao, who was riding on his warhorse, and Liu Bei, who was staring in this direction, looked at each other. The two of them did not curse loudly, nor did they do anything extreme.
After a long while, when they were getting further and further away, the sunset was placed in the eyes of the two heroes of the world. The two of them smiled at each other and looked away.
Cao Cao muttered to himself,""This time, Liu Bei is trapped in the sea. It won't be easy to capture and kill him in the future, but…this way…I won't be lonely in the future, right? Haha! Haha! Haha!"
Hearing Cao Cao's sudden laughter, the soldiers were stunned. However, no one dared to ask.
At this moment, Liu Bei had already sorted out his emotions and once again entered the cabin. However, he did not expect Liu Qi to board the boat that Liu Bei was on and apologize,""Uncle! I have been commanding the soldiers to settle down the people and did not have time to talk to you. Please don't blame me.”
Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei smiled and did not continue with the latter's obviously humble words. Instead, he thanked him,"I was in danger today, thanks to your help. I thank you here.”
The uncle and nephew exchanged pleasantries before Liu Bei asked in puzzlement,""Just now, my second brother, Guan Yu, said that he had just sailed the ship not far away when he saw nephew coming to help with hundreds of other ships. I wonder how nephew knew about the danger of Dangyang today?”
Liu Bei's words caused Liu Qi to feel depressed. He looked at the crowd and said,""Uncle, please don't blame me. I promised not to tell anyone about this.”
Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei was puzzled. He quickly looked at the military advisor Zhuge Liang, who was also surprised, and asked,"Could it be that there is an expert helping me? Did you expect this?"
As soon as Liu Bei said that, Liu Qi smiled bitterly and thought,""It would be better if this person was under me.”
Looking at Liu Bei's inquiring gaze and thinking about his uncle's strong support during his crisis, Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said,""Uncle, please follow me."
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Liu Bei followed Liu Qi out of the cabin. When they reached the deck, Liu Qi said,""The words I said to uncle today must not be known to others. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see that person in the future.”
After hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. From his eager expression, it was obvious that he was very interested in the " expert " who could predict his danger.
At this moment, Liu Qi said softly,"When I left Xinye, Yu Qi taught me to do this. I didn't know why at first, but today, I understand that Yu Qi had already predicted today's predicament, right?”
After hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei was completely stunned."Could it be that the disciple is more powerful than the master? Impossible! Looking at his usual performance, although Yu Qi was intelligent, he was far inferior to his master's wisdom and foresight.”
Liu Qi did not care about Liu Bei's puzzled mood and said solemnly,""Uncle, please don't tell anyone about it today.”
As soon as Liu Qi said that, Liu Bei quickly agreed,"Nephew, don't worry. I will definitely keep this matter to myself and won't tell anyone. I only know what I'm doing.”
Liu Qi nodded and didn't say anything else. After a long while, the two of them entered the cabin.
Liu Bei looked at everyone's questioning gazes and then at the similarly interested military counselor. He hesitated for a moment but did not continue to say anything.
However, Zhuge Liang seemed to have sensed something from Liu Bei's strange gaze. After a moment of surprise, he pondered for a moment before finally smiling and looking at the room where the unconscious Han Gang was. His silence was filled with pride.
Zhuge Liang's expression was seen by everyone and they were all confused. However, Liu Bei knew that the military counselor had already seen something from his expression. He sighed in his heart,"Getting this master and disciple is probably the greatest blessing of my life, right?”
