The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 388
"Report! Your Majesty, Liu Bei personally leads the army to challenge!"

"what!"

Hearing the guard's report, Wei Tao couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Although Liu Bei is not a coward, he cherishes his soldiers and horses very much. How could he send troops at this time? Isn't he afraid that I will catch them all? As far as I know, although there is a law to correct the generals Most of the soldiers and horses from Shuzhong were brought here, but that can be said to be the last vitality of Shuzhong, so is Liu Bei going to fight me here?"

Liu Bei's previous actions were almost opposite to each other, so Wei Tao couldn't help being puzzled.

"What Your Majesty said is very true. Liu Bei is a hero. He will definitely not know that our army is in full swing at this time. Hanzhong is still in Shu. There is no need for him to fight His Majesty at this time. It's a fraud!"

Lu Xun spoke at this time.

"Your Majesty is the founding king of the country, but His Majesty is also the number one military general in the world. Although he is not like the former General Sun Ce who walks alone among thousands of troops, His Majesty the General is a man of gold. Please don't leave the guard easily. If this is the case, even if Liu Bei has some plans, the ministers will not panic.

It wasn't that Lu Xun was aware of the plans of Liu Bei and others, but that Lu Xun deduced that no matter what Liu Bei's plans were, Wei Tao was always the biggest target.

More importantly, in the hearts of Lu Xun and others, the lives of all soldiers including themselves are not comparable to that of Wei Tao alone, so this is an important reminder at this time.

"Bo Yan's words are very true, but now that Liu Bei is coming to challenge me, I have no choice but to respond. Otherwise, the morale of our army may drop, and it will be difficult to mention it!"

Although Wei Tao valued Lu Xun's words, he came here in person this time to unify the Central Plains in the shortest possible time and restore the vitality of the Central Plains people.

Although wars are more frequent now than in history, and the casualties of the three kingdoms fighting each other are much better, but the continuous wars still greatly damage the vitality of the Central Plains, and now they can barely suppress the surrounding foreigners.

If the struggle continues, who can guarantee that the chaos will not happen?
Therefore, Wei Tao is going to act as soon as possible to unify the Central Plains, and then implement the policy of nourishing the country and strengthening the army, and then use the military strength of the upright to dominate the Quartet, and restore the strong wind of "those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away" in the heyday of the Han Dynasty!

With a certain mind, Wei Tao immediately ordered this.

"This battle cannot be avoided, and there is no need to avoid it. All soldiers, follow me to fight!"

"promise!"

Now there are no cowards under Wei Tao's command. Hearing Wei Tao's order, Qi Qi loudly responded.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

As the drums sounded, Wei Tao scanned his eyes and found that Liu Bei was indeed in front of the formation, and behind him, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others were all following behind him.

Seeing this, Wei Tao was even more puzzled. Could it be that Liu Bei thought that this meant he could compete with him?

Now I have a cloud of counselors and a rain of brave generals. These days are just giving Jiang Wei and other less advanced people some opportunities to show their abilities. In fact, this time I also brought a lot of brave generals to follow.

But although he was puzzled in his heart, Wei Tao didn't show any expression on his face. Instead, when he saw Liu Bei, he immediately fixed his eyes and let out a loud drink.

"Liu Bei! Are you here to accept the surrender now? In the battle of Yangping Pass, Er Pingbai had a dangerous pass and lost more than [-] people, which was almost the same as my siege. How dare you face me now? An enemy? Forget it? If you are willing to accept the surrender now, I will make you King of Han, and you can swear to heaven! As long as the King of Han does not do anything against you, you will not be held accountable for past festivals. Inside, apart from treason, there is nothing unforgivable!

Hearing Wei Tao's words, all the generals and soldiers of the two armies were surprised.

A promise from the Son of Heaven is as important as Mount Tai, and it is impossible for Wei Tao to regret what he said in front of the two armies.

And really speaking, what Wei Tao said is not bad, at least such conditions are already considered excellent for the princes along the way.

If Wei Tao could be blocked from outside Yangping Pass at this time, Wei Tao's words would naturally have no effect, but at this time, Liu Bei was newly defeated and retreated to Hanzhong City.

Although it is true that the reinforcements later made up for some morale, the morale of Liu Bei's army at this time was still low in comparison.

After hearing Wei Tao's words, many soldiers subconsciously wanted to surrender by chance.

Since he was able to treat Lord Liu Bei so kindly, he certainly wouldn't embarrass little soldiers like himself too much.

Together with this idea, morale will naturally be affected.

Liu Bei has been through battles for a long time, although he is not as brave and diligent as he was in his prime of life, he is still able to understand such changes in the battlefield, and immediately understands that what Wei Tao said is not to recruit himself, but to suppress his own side morale.

"Don't talk nonsense, rebellious ministers and thieves! You, Wei Tao, were only a small pawn. Thanks to the late emperor's attention, you were able to be promoted. I didn't expect you to be ungrateful at all. Instead, you supported your own self-respect and separated one side. Now, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, establish Puppet court. You want to talk about me after going against the grain like this?"

Liu Bei's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately reprimanded him loudly.

"I am an imposing man, the soul of a man. Life and death are the soul of a man. How can I make you such a repeated villain? If you want to fight, then come to fight! And let you know that everyone in my man is a hero!"

The 400th year of the Great Han Dynasty, plus Liu Bei's wide application of benevolence on weekdays, so when he heard Liu Bei's words, the morale of the soldiers under his command was immediately boosted, and the previous depression was not seen.

"What a Liu Bei!"

Wei Tao sighed secretly, but this did not exceed Wei Tao's expectations. If Liu Bei didn't have such skills, Wei Tao would be surprised.

But just when Wei Tao wanted to make a move again, that Zhang Fei suddenly jumped out, pointing at Wei Tao with the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand.

"Zhang Yide from Yan is here! Wei Tao! How dare you come to compete with me for a while!"

Hearing Zhang Fei's shout, Wei Tao couldn't help squinting slightly, and Lu Xun who was next to him said so immediately.

"Your Majesty must not be impulsive, and seeing that Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong beside you Liu Bei are all murderous, I am afraid there is a deceit for a while, if Your Majesty steps forward, I am afraid that you will follow the other party's wishes and be forcibly besieged by the other party!"

While talking about Lu Xun, he winked to the side, and immediately someone understood and leaped out.

"Zhang Fei sleeps wildly, Donglai Taishici is here!"

Hearing Tai Shici's words, Zhang Fei had an irritable character, so he immediately rushed to fight with him, and the two horses went back and forth evenly.

Seeing this, Wei Tao didn't care, he just watched the two fight.

But at this moment, Na Fazheng was in a cold sweat.

"My lord, Wei Tao must have taken precautions. If he doesn't go into battle in person, then he will only have the advantage of this time. If he misses this time, Wei Tao must be surrounded by heavy soldiers. No, please General Han Sheng to do it early!"

"Han Sheng! Maybe shoot him?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and his heart was also anxious. Liu Bei had already pinned his success or failure on this one action. How could he continue to endure? After asking a question, he couldn't help but add again.

"Whether it is successful or not, shoot it for me. If you can shoot and kill the person, Han Sheng is the first one. If you can't, I don't blame it!"

Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, estimated the distance between the two armies, and after a while, he spoke slowly.

"My lord, there is only [-]% certainty of such a distance, and such a distance, even if we shoot Wei Tao, it may not be able to kill him!"

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! As long as Han Sheng can attack Wei Tao, his army will be in chaos. At that time, our army will win this round!"

Hearing what Huang Zhong said, Fazheng couldn't help but speak.

"The people who followed Wei Tao this time are all the elite of his army. If they are destroyed here, within ten years, Wei Tao will never be able to invade our Western Shu again. Moreover, Cao Cao must step up his attack, and our army can do it too. Make a difference too!"

"So, let me give it a try!"

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

And Huang Zhong didn't see any movement, but a pair of eagle eyes stared at Wei Tao. After a while, Huang Zhong grabbed the good bow under his crotch suddenly, and instantly put the bow on the bow, pulling the bow like a full moon, and then shot the arrow!
"laugh!"

Everyone saw a flash of lightning, and arrows flew out. After a moment, Wei Tao was lying on the saddle, and at the same time, countless guards surrounded Wei Tao.

After a while, we heard the sound of gold ringing from behind Wei Tao's formation, and then saw Wei Tao's army retreating slowly.

"Wei Tao's army is well-organized, but there is no way to take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

Fazheng first sighed, then shook his head slightly, turned to look at Huang Zhong and asked.

"Dare to ask General Han Sheng, what happened to Wei Tao? Was he severely injured?"

"Mr. Qi, I don't know about this matter. The guards around Wei Tao are extremely fast. I am not sure whether I shot him or not. If the adviser wants to know, I am afraid I need to send someone to find out the truth."

Huang Zhong was also a little puzzled, even though he had confidence in his own archery skills, but after all the distance was so far, Huang Zhong really couldn't handle it.

Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately ordered someone to investigate.

After a while, it was natural that a scout came to report, Wei Tao's camp was closed, and even though there were many rangers patrolling, it was impossible to spy out the truth.

"How is this?"

Liu Bei couldn't figure out what was true and false for a while, so he could only look at the truth with his eyes.

"This must be a bluff!"

After Fazheng pondered for a while, he immediately said with great joy.

"If Wei Tao is fine, he must be cheating his death, just like in the past when he crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Sun Quan. If he is dead, he must retreat immediately, or act as if he is not injured. This is to confuse me. The army made it retreat calmly! Now it is like this, only because he is seriously injured, he can't die at the top, and he can't do it at the bottom, so I just don't want us to know!"
