Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 259 [Liu Bei vs. Yuan Shao]

"Brother Meng De, what's your plan next?"

That night Liu Bei and Cao Cao were sitting in front of the bonfire, and Liu Bei asked.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Cao Hong and others were also sitting on the side.

Cao Cao looked up at the pitch-black sky, with sadness and unwillingness on his face, and after a while he said:

"This failure made me see the true colors of the princes of the Central Plains. In front of their interests, the big man and the emperor are not important."

"I want to help the big man and save the emperor. From now on, I can only rely on myself. But now my strength is too weak, and I can't compare with the thieves. Today is a painful lesson!"

"Tomorrow, I will take the soldiers back to Chenliu, and recharge my energy in the future, so that I can become stronger as soon as possible."

"In this way, we can help the big man and save the emperor!"

Liu Bei was touched by Cao Cao's words, and said sincerely: "Brother Meng De sees it clearly, but now that the Central Plains princes are divided, it is difficult for you and me to become stronger.

Since brother Mengde will return to Chenliu tomorrow, I also intend to return to Youzhou, and take the rest of the soldiers to plead guilty to General Gongsun. "

Gongsun Zan gave Liu Bei [-] infantry, but now there are less than [-] left.

Of Cao Cao's 5000 men, there are now only a thousand left.

It was even worse for Kong Rong, there were only 5000 left out of 300 people, not to mention, even he himself was seriously injured and died!
Underestimating the enemy and lacking experience in leading troops in combat are the direct reasons for the failure of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Kong Rong.

However, the more important thing is that the troops are too weak!
The next day, Liu Bei and Cao Cao parted ways, and Kong Rong's body was brought back by Cao Cao.

And Liu Bei was ready to seek refuge with Gongsun Zan again, but he had no other better choice.

A few days later, when the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led nearly a thousand people through Hanoi, they did not expect that Yuan Shao had been waiting here for a long time.

On the only way north to Youzhou, Yuan Shao led five thousand elite soldiers to ambush here.

In order to deceive others, his large army had already asked Guo Tu to bring him back to Bohai Sea.

As for Xu You, who has been in Bohai, he did not follow this time, and guarded the house for Yuan Shao.

"Report to my lord, Liu Bei and others are here, with an army of less than a thousand people." A general rushed to report to Yuan Shao.

"Haha... It seems that we have suffered a defeat. The number of 3000 people is now less than [-]. What a mess!"

Yuan Shao laughed out loud after hearing this.He was not optimistic about Liu Bei and Cao Cao from the beginning, and this result was also what he expected.

"Send thousands of people to stop them and have to retreat, we should also go to meet them, haha."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and said, "I heard from Cao Cao that the three brothers Liu Bei are very skilled in martial arts. When we meet later, you should learn from them."

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely learn from them in the end!" Wen Chou sneered, disdainful of such unknown people as Liu Bei's three brothers.

"My lord's destiny is where the lord's seal is. Naturally, the jade seal belongs to the lord. Whoever refuses to hand it over will surely let them be wiped out!" Yan Liang said with a serious face.

Yuan Shao was very pleased, looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou and said sincerely: "With your help, why not worry about the great cause!"

Not long after, they finally met Liu Bei.

"Uncle Liu Huang, what a wait!"

Yuan Shao watched Liu Bei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, one on the left and one on the right, and there were four thousand troops behind them, most of them cavalry, all of them were in high spirits.

"Brother, the visitor is not kind!"

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, he felt malice from Yuan Shao's eyes.

"There's another fight?" Zhang Fei was excited.

"Second brother, third brother, we have never had any contact with Yuan Shao. According to the current situation, he has been waiting here for a long time, we should be more careful."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei patted his horse forward, looked at Yuan Shao and asked, "I don't know why Leader Yuan is waiting here on purpose?"

Although Liu Bei already had some guesses in his heart, he still believed in Cao Cao and Sun Jian in his heart.

Yuan Shao didn't know Liu Bei well, and he looked down on Liu Bei, so he spoke directly: "I heard that Uncle Liu Huang got the jade seal, and I'm worried that you won't be able to keep it, so let me keep it for you, and return it when the emperor is rescued later."

Sure enough, Liu Bei's worries became reality.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart, who leaked the news about Yuxi?Is it Cao Cao or Sun Jian?He's not sure.

Liu Bei refused to admit it, and argued, "I don't know what Leader Yuan meant by this, but the jade seal is naturally in the hands of the Son of Heaven, so what happened to me again? I'm afraid you heard some rumors?"

At the same time, Liu Bei winked at Guan Yu, telling him to retreat at any time.

Yuan Shao's face sank when he heard Liu Bei's words, and he tore his face: "Since you don't know good and bad, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Then ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou, "No matter what you do, I just want to get the jade seal!"

"I will understand at the end!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou stepped out, Yan Liang said, "I'll give you a chance, as long as one of you can beat the two of us, I can consider letting you go!"

Liu Bei originally thought that Yuan Shao wanted the whole army to fight together, but he didn't expect to send two generals to compete with them.

With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei present, Liu Bei knew the truth, but he pretended to be in a difficult position, hesitating for a long time before reluctantly agreeing: "Is this really true?"

Yuan Shao just nodded slightly, without saying a word.

"Haha... Big Brother, Second Brother, let me try their abilities first this time!"

Zhang Fei patted his horse forward, holding the eight-foot long hair in his hand, and went directly to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

However, suddenly a man and a horse floated past his eyes.

"Third Brother, protect Big Brother and leave this place to me!"

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu had already arrived in front of Zhang Fei, facing Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and said calmly, "Don't waste time, let's go together!"

"Second brother, why is it like this every time, are we still brothers?" Zhang Fei was unhappy and complained.

Guan Yu's face became serious, and he reprimanded Zhang Fei: "Life and death are at stake, don't play your temper, go, protect big brother, if something happens, I won't have you as a brother!"

Guan Yu was rarely so angry, and Zhang Fei was frightened. He was stunned for a while, and said, "Got it."

When Zhang Fei returned to Liu Bei, Liu Bei whispered to him: "Third brother, Yuan Shao has many soldiers. For Yuxi, we will definitely not give up. We must be prepared to evacuate at any time. The second brother wants to hold them back and fight for us. To gain time!"

"Brother, I was wrong, I misunderstood the second brother." Zhang Fei finally understood.

"It's good to understand, the three of us will always be brothers, until death!" Liu Bei comforted Zhang Fei, and at the same time urged: "The third brother always pays attention to Yuan Shao's movements."

"Well, brother, don't worry!" Zhang Fei raised his head and looked at Yuan Shao.

On the other side, Wen Chou fought Guan Yu first.

But he was dismounted in less than ten rounds, and seeing the situation was not good, Yan Liang immediately stepped forward to make a rescue.

Afterwards, the two fought Guan Yu together!

With one against two, Guan Yu still easily dealt with it.

Seeing the opportunity, Guan Yu made a sudden attack, beheaded Wen Chou and let him know his life or death. At the same time, he turned around and shouted to Liu Bei: "Brother, let's go!"
