Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 98
Zhang Fei reined in his horse and turned around, only to see him widening his angry eyes and roaring, Jiao Liang, who was sneaking up from behind, suddenly covered his chest, and emerald green bile leaked from the corner of his mouth.

Jiao Liang wobbled, and let go of the hand holding the rein. There was no one to control the sitting horse, and a sudden stop threw the frightened Jiao Liang out.

This beast also understands human nature, it clearly felt Zhang Fei's murderous aura.

Zhang Fei yelled at this guy until he died of fear, and the one who had been dragged off the horse before used his hands and feet together, rolling and crawling towards the main formation.

Zhang Fei followed with his horse, but was pierced through his chest by the snake spear, ending his young life.

Liu Xian was dumbfounded, the horses around him seemed to be trembling, and no one dared to go out to fight.

Liu Qi has also seen the methods of generals in Jingzhou, but none of them are as powerful as Zhang Fei. He admired infatuatedly: "The three generals are really brave."

At this time, Liu Xian remembered his father's words, how to fight with the opponent in front of the battle, so he drew out his sword and directed the whole army to charge, but Zhang Fei, the god of killing, was on the opposite side, and the soldiers were all cowering. I dare not go up.

"Those who are afraid of war will be killed without mercy." Liu Xian immediately cut down a person to stand up.

The Lingling soldiers had no choice but to swarm forward. At this time, Liu Bei's troops had already lined up, and Xu Shu commanded the whole army to cover and kill them.

Liu Xian's army came out of the canyon. If their morale was like a rainbow, they could still fight the bloody way. But at this time, their fear of battle was very strong, and the formation was firmly suppressed by Xu Shu, so they showed signs of defeat right after the battle.

"Little general, our formation is at a disadvantage here, why not quickly retreat into the valley?" the deputy general beside him reminded Liu Xiandao.

Liu Xian thought it was true. Although he had more troops, they were all crowded in the rear and could not deploy, and the soldiers in front had to face several times the enemy.

Just as Liu Xian was about to retreat, the rear army suddenly sent an early warning signal. Gan Ning was cutting off his retreat from the dense forest. The turmoil and panic were spreading to Taniguchi, and the entire Lingling army suddenly panicked.

Xu Shu sat on the horse and laughed, "General Gan has won."

At this time, Liu Xian was completely at a loss. Surrounded by several followers, he could only break out to the rear desperately, because the road in the valley was narrow and trampled by people and horses, countless people were killed or injured.

When Liu Xian ran for his life, his horses were on a rampage, and he finally rushed to the end of the team, only to find that the soldiers behind him were stronger.

Seeing that he couldn't break through, the lieutenant general once again suggested: "Little general, it's better to take off the armor, we will be able to escape if we take advantage of the deep water and go down the current."

Quanling is at the confluence of Shenshui and Xiangjiang River, so Liu Xian and others also knew the nature of water, so they rode Qujia on horseback with several relatives, and jumped into the deep water after them.

It’s midsummer at this time, and the big river is just to relieve the heat. The deep water flows from south to north and finally flows into the Xiangshui River. If you are good at water, you can really escape downstream.

Liu Xian started this, and those soldiers who wanted to survive also went into the water one after another, regardless of whether they knew how to swim or not.

Gan Ning, who was in the fight, was instantly overjoyed, all the athletes under him were quite good at swimming, seeing this situation, he personally led more than a hundred people down the river to intercept them.

An army without a commander is like a snake without a head. The soldiers of Lingling were defeated in less than an hour, and the soldiers who dared not go down the river and wanted to survive surrendered immediately.

"Report to the lord, our army has defeated Liu Xian, and we are currently cleaning the battlefield." The scout came back and reported.

"Where is the chief general Liu Xian?" Xu Shu asked.

Scout: "During the scuffle in the valley just now, he was seen escaping from the deep water."

Seeing Xu Shu's regretful expression, Liu Qi asked in puzzlement, "Our army has already won a big victory, why is the army division unhappy?"

Xu Shu smiled wryly: "I thought Liu Xian could be captured alive by a double attack, but I didn't expect him to escape by water. It would take time to capture Quanling without the help of this person."

In ancient times, the defenders of the city had a natural advantage in combat, and even military wizards faced difficulties with a solid city defense.

As the seat of Lingling County, Quanling's city defense is far stronger than that of Yingdao, Yingpu and other small counties. If Liu Du really resists in the corner, the thousands of soldiers are really not enough.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can you count all the military advisers? When we get to the city of Quanling, the eldest son and I will talk about it with all our strength." Liu Bei comforted.

"Uncle's words are justified." Liu Qi echoed.

After a while, Zhang Fei rode his horse and returned with a wild laugh, "Brother, that Gan Xingba is really powerful. Those who followed Liu Xian on the waterway were regarded as fish in the river by him, and they caught them in one net, hahaha."

"In this way, Quanling will not be difficult to break." Xu Shu smiled knowingly.

"Gan Xingba really has a skill, uncle's tent is really like a cloud of fierce generals." Liu Qi praised.

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said modestly: "Bei is the guest general of Jingzhou, and my general is the son's general."

"Qi is here to be taken care of by my uncle, if she stays in Xiangyang, she might not survive," Liu Qi sighed.

Zhang Fei led the crowd forward, and on the way, he met Gan Ning, who was shirtless, and was escorting Liu Xian back to ask for credit.

Liu Bei encouraged Gan Ning, and then asked the embarrassed Liu Xian: "The eldest son was ordered to take over as the prefect of Lingling. Your father and son are so brave. They dared to fight against each other. What's the point of being captured this time?" Say?"

Liu Xiangang was in his early twenties, and he was full of vitality at first, but after the battle just now, he finally recognized himself and the strength of Lingling County.

A person who was originally all-powerful in Lingling is nothing after leaving Lingling.

Liu Bei saw that Liu Xian was ashamed, so he asked someone to untie the rope for him.

Liu Xian clasped his fists and saluted: "I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and I offended the eldest son and Liu Shijun. Just now, I have been convinced by the first battle. I would like to lead the way and go to Quanling to say that I will surrender my father. I don't know."

Liu Bei was overjoyed after hearing this, "Knowing your mistakes can make you better. This is the blessing of Lingling people. What do you think?"

"It's all up to uncle to decide." Liu Qi replied.

After recruiting and surrendering Liu Xian, the army continued to march northward until the city of Quanling.

Liu Du stood at the top of the city and saw his son in front of the opponent's formation. Before Liu Xian could speak, he asked someone to open the city gate and went outside the city to plead guilty and surrender.

After the army settled in Quanling, all counties in Lingling County were not flattened.

In order to stabilize the situation in Lingling as soon as possible, Liu Qi still used officials at all levels according to Liu Bei's suggestion, but Liu Du and his son were not easy to arrange.

Xu Shu suggested: "If these two stay in Lingling, it may be harmful to the eldest son. It is a pity to abandon them at the time of employing people. Besides, they still have the merit of dedicating the city. Why don't you let the master bring them back to Guiyang for use?"

Liu Qi heard Xu Shu's intention that Liu Bei was leaving, so he quickly said: "Qi has never governed a county, please leave a few uncles to help, I think Gan Xingba is good."

Although Gan Ning is subordinate to Liu Bei, he is currently handed over to Lan Tian, ​​so he hesitated for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Shu said: "My lord, what the eldest son said makes sense, why don't you send Ziyu to assist me?"

"Can Lan Ziyu do it?" Although Liu Qi has heard many people praise him, but after all, he only met once.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Eldest Young Master, this person is comparable to Yuan Zhi and Kong Ming." Liu Bei laughed.
