The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 40 Liu Bei's Hypocrisy

"Brother, according to my consciousness, you should go to Gongsun Zan and ask him for some soldiers and horses. When the time comes, my second brother and I will lead the troops and attack Hulao Pass at night!"

"With the force of my second brother and I, it's easy to win a small Hulao Pass."

The man like black charcoal stared at the leader Liu Bei with his eyes the size of copper bells wide open.

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, the maroon-red Guan Yu with slightly squinted eyes looked at Liu Bei with a strange light in his narrow phoenix eyes.

Seeing this scene, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Bei's mind, and then he sighed and said, "Second brother, third brother, although the elder brother and that General Gongsun came from the same class, it's a pity."

"Brother is just a down-and-out Han family member who has always been looked down upon by that Gongsun Zan."

As Liu Bei spoke, he kept sighing, and at the same time his voice was slightly choked, as if he was about to cry.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fei became anxious immediately, and quickly said: "Brother, I didn't do it on purpose, it's just a small Hulao Pass, even if there are no soldiers and horses, my second brother and I can take it!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei's big hand and said, "Third brother, why is eldest brother willing to let third brother and second brother go all out?"

Liu Bei managed to fool Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two peerless generals, but he would not be willing to let them attack Hulao Pass.

At that time, if one of them is injured and dies, then he will die of heartache.

After all, a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

Especially with Liu Bei's current status, it is extremely difficult to recruit fierce generals or counselors.

If it wasn't for relying on the identity of the clan of the Han Dynasty and relying on the blood of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to subdue them, how could they subdue these two peerless generals?

Liu Bei knew this well, so he naturally disapproved of Zhang Fei's reckless behavior, and at the same time felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, although these third brothers are brave, they just can't use their brains. This reckless behavior may cause trouble someday."

Liu Bei's mouth twitched as he recalled the consequences of Zhang Fei's recklessness.

Just like before, Liu Bei finally got a credit for quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and got mixed up with a county magistrate of Anxi.

As a result, after Zhang Fei was addicted to alcohol, he whipped the officials and caused great trouble for Liu Bei, and because of this, Liu Bei finally got the opportunity, because this matter disappeared.

As for Liu Bei, he couldn't criticize Zhang Fei too much, otherwise this hard-won general might fly away.

Especially at that time, the disaster had already happened, and it was even more impossible to fall out with Zhang Fei.

In desperation, Liu Bei had no choice but to give up his official position and leave, and finally fell to where he is today, and the last chance Liu Bei had planned to get ahead was also cut off by Zhao Yun.

For this, Liu Bei was very uncomfortable. Could it be that he, Liu Xuande, really had no chance?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of what the fortune teller said when he was a child, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"I, Liu Xuande, will surely become famous in the future!"

At this moment, Liu Bei's eyes were full of coldness. In order to be able to stand out, he swore sworn brothers with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and even drew in feelings for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

He even left his newly married wife behind, and often talked with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all night long. Now that the great cause has not been accomplished, how dare he give up lightly?
"Big brother!"

"Second brother, third brother!"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei hugged each other, weeping in pain.

Above the Hulao Pass, Xu Rong was sleeping with his clothes on, and was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

"Report to the general, report carefully, the rebels Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are making a big fuss in the camp of thieves today!"

"It is said that the rebel Yuan Shao kidnapped Yuan Shu's military adviser. I heard that Yuan Shu brought a thousand soldiers to confront Yuan Shao!"

"what."

Xu Rong, who was surprised just now, said with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Something interesting."

After a while, Xu Rong waved the soldiers who came to report to leave, and said with a look of enlightenment in his eyes: "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this alliance. As long as you seize the right opportunity, they are just a bunch of mobs!"

"Force? What a fart! However, the next plan still needs Lu Bu's arrival, otherwise, if you want to complete this plan, you still need Lu Bu's arrival."

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xu Rong's eyes and he said secretly.

On the other side, Cao Cao listened to the information reported by his personal guards, looked at Zhao Feng, who had a calm face without any fluctuations, and suddenly smiled.

"Military division, everything is well handled. With a military division by my side, why should Cao Mengde fail in his career!"

Cao Cao said with a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If something happens to a military commander with his small body, he will be in trouble!"

"No, in addition to arranging his identity, I also need to arrange a strong general for him to protect the safety of the military division for me. Otherwise, if the military division bumps into each other, it will make my heart hurt to death."

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng with a look of faith in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Feng naturally didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking. He glanced at the sky, then cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, it's getting late, and my subordinates will leave first."

After Zhao Feng finished speaking, Cao Cao, who was excited, realized that it was almost midnight, and Cao Cao suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

Then he waved to Zhao Feng and said, "Military Master, you go down first, I still have some things to think about."

"Then, my lord's subordinate will leave." Seeing this, Zhao Feng said with a slight smile.

"Go."

After a while, Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng's leaving back, showing a hint of deep thought. At the same time, he also started to join the army and began to look for Zhao Feng's bodyguards.

Three days later, on the only road between Hulao Pass and Luoyang, a black cavalry force of [-] was galloping.

Before the [-] cavalry, there was a general wearing a three-pronged beam and purple-gold armor. Under the general was a red horse with a handle more than ten feet long. , Fang Tian's painted halberd weighing a hundred catties was placed on the back of the war horse.

At the same time, on the side of the horse, a simple longbow and a pot of arrows dangled back and forth while the horse was galloping.

"Scout, how far is it from Hulao Pass?"

The general suddenly asked a Bingzhou cavalry behind him.

"Reporting to my lord, there are still about ten kilometers away from Hulao Pass."

"Go to Chuan Wenyuan General."

The general turned his head and gave orders to the Bingzhou cavalry.

"promise!"

Hearing the words, the Bingzhou iron cavalry showed a look of awe, and then went towards the middle army of the army.

Lu Bu watched the Bingzhou iron cavalry leave, revealing a bright light.

That's right, this general is the legendary Red Rabbit among men Lu Bu and Horse.

After several days of galloping, Lu Bu finally arrived at Hulao Pass with [-] Bingzhou cavalry.

Not long after, a general wearing a silver battle armor and holding a silver-white spear came on horseback.

"Zhang Liao, I have seen the lord!"

Zhang Liao, who rode his horse, saluted Lu Bu respectfully.

"Wen Yuan, is Li Jue honest this way?"

"My lord, Li Jue has been honest all this way, and he didn't make any small moves."

"but."

That Zhang Liao said, showing a touch of doubt.
