Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 54: Yan Liang and Wen Chou's Shock

Since setting out, Yan Liang and Wen Chou have been paying attention to Liu Bei's movements.

Today has arrived the deadline stipulated in the military order, but Pei County has not been captured yet, so they brought their troops here directly to prevent Liu Bei and his men from escaping.

"General Yan, what do you mean?"

Liu Bei glanced at the soldiers around him, his eyes fell on the two leading generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and asked without changing his expression.

Wen Chou snorted coldly, "We should ask the envoy. Today is the deadline to capture Pei County. Will the envoy forget the military order?"

"If we fail to capture Pei County today, we will be executed according to military law!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers around him took a step forward.

Zhang Fei was immediately furious when he heard this. His eyes widened as he shouted, "Chop off your grandmother's leg! Today I want to see who dares to touch my brother!"

Guan Yu also said coldly: "If you want to kill my brother, you must step over my body first!"

The two men were tall and powerful, far superior to ordinary people.

The fearless spirit of fearlessness displayed at this moment frightened the surrounding soldiers for a moment, and no one dared to step forward first.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were quite annoyed when they saw this.

Yan Liang snorted coldly, "It seems that you are going to disobey military orders! Then don't blame me for being ruthless! Archers, get ready!"

At his command, the crossbowmen immediately stepped forward.

The crossbow in his hand is strung and ready to go!

In the era of cold weapons, the power of crossbows was more terrifying than that of bows and arrows. They were highly accurate and powerful, and even ordinary people could use them.

At short and medium distances, crossbows are invincible.

If you are not wearing heavy armor, it would be impossible to resist!

Now Liu, Guan, and Zhang are all dressed in cloth, without armor; but even if they were wearing armor, they could not withstand the terrifying penetrating power of the crossbow arrows at this distance!

"Brother be careful!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces changed drastically, and they stepped forward to block Liu Bei behind them.

But Liu Bei said, "Second brother, third brother, please step back. I have something to say to the two generals."

Wen Yuyan smiled and said, "Sir, the military order is as strong as a mountain. Even if you beg for mercy from this general, it will be useless. Besides, this is the military order you signed yourself. No one forced you to do it."

He thought Liu Bei was going to beg him for mercy.

But Liu Bei just said: "Generals, today is indeed the last day stipulated in the military order, but it is not yet evening and the sun has not yet set. Why should you be so anxious?"

"The three of us brothers are here. If Pei County is still not taken by the time the sun sets, it won't be too late for the two generals to kill us."

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "Okay, then wait until the sun sets. Don't say that I didn't give you time!"

"But you are only allowed to stay in this tent and are not allowed to go anywhere else!"

Liu Bei looked calm and turned around and walked back to the tent without hesitation.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also followed him in.

Watching the three people enter the account, Wen Chou frowned and looked at Yan Liang, asking: "Gong Ji, why don't you just do it? Liu Bei is obviously stalling for time."

"Even if we give him 50,000 troops now, he won't be able to capture Pei County before dark. Why bother talking to him?"

Yan Liang smiled and said, "It's just a matter of surviving for a while. What's the harm in giving him a few hours? Shu'e, don't worry. We just need to keep an eye on them."

After that, he gave orders to the surrounding soldiers: "Surround the camp, send more people to patrol, and don't let anyone go out!"

"promise!"

……

Inside the tent, Liu Bei also heard Yan Liang's orders outside.

Yan Liang did not lower his voice, obviously speaking for him to hear.

"Two cowards!"

Zhang Fei was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. If he were asked to fight against Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he could easily stab these two guys to death!
But facing so many soldiers and crossbowmen, he was helpless. It was like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog!
Liu Bei sighed, "I have caused you trouble. Now... there is really no way to escape. I am at the end of my rope."

At this point, he really had no other choice.

Just as Yan Liang said just now, he was just delaying time and would still die in a few hours.

"Brother, why do you say that?"

Guan Yu said solemnly, "We brothers swore an oath in Taoyuan, vowing to live and die together. Now that we are martyred together, we have fulfilled the oath we made in Taoyuan!"

Zhang Fei nodded heavily and said, "Me too!"

With tears in his eyes, Liu Bei grabbed the hands of his two brothers and cried, "I have you as my brothers in this life, and I will die without regrets!"

"Big brother!"

The three brothers hugged each other tightly.

……

Time passed little by little, the sun gradually set, hanging on the top of the mountain and casting its last ray of afterglow to the world.

The sky is filled with red clouds, as bright red as blood.

Liu Bei and two other men walked out of the tent together. At this point they had no intention of resisting. Even if they died, they wanted to die with dignity.

Seeing this, Yan Liang sneered in his heart and waved his hand, saying, "Get ready!"

The soldiers next to them stepped forward and tied up the three men, and then the executioner stepped forward and was about to execute them.

"Report——!"

Just as the executioner was about to take action, a voice suddenly rang out.

A scout came running over and said to Generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, "Generals, there has been a change in Pei County!"

"For some reason, the defenders in the city all retreated, leaving from the southwest gate and abandoning the city! Now all the gates of Pei County are wide open!"

Upon hearing the news, Liu, Guan and Zhang suddenly looked up, their faces filled with shock.

The same is true for Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could they abandon the city and flee?"

Wen Chou grabbed the scout by the collar and yelled.

The scout's face flushed red, and he said fearfully, "But General, it is true. If you don't believe me, you can go and see it now."

Hearing this, Yan Liang knew that this was true, but he did not intend to let Liu Bei go. He said coldly: "It must be a trick by the other party to lure the enemy. Don't pay any attention to it!"

"Executioner, prepare to act!"

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Bei stood up and looked directly at Yan Liang with sharp eyes.

"I wrote to Lu Bu, asking him to return Pei County to me. Now that he has withdrawn his troops, Pei County has been captured by me!"

"We will take Pei County in ten days. The military order has been completed as promised!"

At this time, the sun on the western hill finally set completely.

Wen Chou gnashed his teeth and said, "Nonsense! Don't try to deceive yourself here! Do you think you can fool me so easily? Where is the executioner? Hurry up and execute the military law!"

"Uncle! Stop it!"

Yan Liang shouted at Wen Chou to stop him, and with a gloomy face he ordered, "Untie them!"

"Gongji!"

Wen Chou was very anxious, this was a good opportunity to kill Liu Bei and his two companions!

Yan Liang was a little annoyed and scolded him directly: "Do you want to tarnish the reputation of our lord?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Chou suddenly became speechless.

He looked at Liu, Guan and Zhang with hatred, then left angrily.
