Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 288 Is it war or peace?

On the mountain on the left bank of the canyon, Xi Zhicai had been observing the battle between the two armies in the canyon. He originally thought that if Zhang Liao's five thousand cavalry came, even if they didn't wipe out all the enemy troops, they should be about the same.

However, the sudden appearance of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and others surprised him.

"Enemy reinforcements?" His eyes fell on Guan Yu, and he exclaimed, "This man is brave! Unless the general takes action, there will be no opponents!"

At the same time, Xi Zhicai concluded that Cao and Wang Dong met Guan Yu and the others, and they did not stop them.

Sure enough, the scout came to report:
"The drama staff, General Cao and Company Commander Wang, sent their subordinates to report. The enemy's reinforcements numbered about 2000, all of them light cavalry. The three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were in the lead. Guan Yu, in particular, was extremely brave and should not be challenged alone. .”

"Well, you go back and tell General Cao and the others that it is enough to continue to harass the enemy, and withdraw immediately if nothing can be done."

After the scouts left, Xi Zhicai immediately ordered someone to tell Zhang Liao the news of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

Soon Zhang Liao got the news.

"Guan Yu?" Zhang Liao knew some information about Guan Yu before, and read in his mouth: "The Guan Yu who killed Li Meng, Wen Chou, followed Liu Bei and brought hundreds of people out of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's hands?
Sure enough, no wonder no one can stop him. "

Afterwards, he looked at the battlefield again. Most of Cheng Pu's original soldiers and horses had been damaged, and he himself was seriously injured for breaking the rear.

"Listen to my general!" Zhang Liao loudly ordered to the left and right: "Mingjin retreat!"

Since it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who came to support them, Zhang Liao did not intend to force them to stay, otherwise the casualties would be difficult to estimate.

Even if the camp is there, I am afraid Guan Yu will not be able to keep him, let alone Zhang Fei.

When the order to withdraw troops was issued, Zhang Liao quickly began to distance himself from Cheng Pu's army, and then retreated slowly in an orderly manner.Only the soldiers beside Guan Yu were trembling with fright.

"The enemy has withdrawn?"

Zhang Fei, who was following behind, was very disappointed: "I just started to fight vigorously, why did I withdraw." He shouted to Zhang Liao at the top of his voice, "Thief, don't leave, and fight with me, Zhang Fei, for another [-] rounds!"

Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi in the rear were equally astonished. After recovering, Sun Ce patted his horse and hurried towards Cheng Pu.

In the canyon, the sound of fighting disappeared, and the two armies confronted each other one behind the other.

Zhang Liao rode forward, looked at Guan Yu, first cupped his hands, and then asked: "Is the general who wielded the sword in front the same as the general Guan Yu who beheaded Li Meng and Wen Chou not long ago?"

"Hehe..." Zhang Fei was delighted, and laughed loudly: "Haha, did you hear me, elder brother, he called second elder brother a general, so doesn't that mean that I, Zhang Fei, am also a general. Not bad, I have very good eyesight!"

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei immediately, and the other party immediately fell in love.

Guan Yu sat upright on the horseback, holding a big knife in one hand, and stroking his long beard with the other. He seemed to enjoy Zhang Liao's address, and responded unhurriedly: "It is Guan, Guan If you want to take General Cheng Pu and others away, will you stop him?"

For a while, the atmosphere between the two armies became tense again.

But Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Since it is General Guan who wants to take someone away, it is naturally not easy for Zhang to stop him, please do it."

"Don't fight now?" Zhang Fei complained, "What a fucking disappointment!"

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Pu's party began to retreat to the north, and Guan Yu was in charge of breaking the rear.

However, Zhang Liao kept his word and did not stop him.

Not long after Cheng Pu and others left the canyon, Gao Shun finally arrived without stopping.He looked around, only to find countless corpses on the ground, wondering: "It's over, the enemy has been wiped out?"

"No?" Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Let them go?"

"What?...Let go?" Gao Shun was so shocked that he came here in a hurry, ready to fight, but unexpectedly, the enemy was let go by Zhang Liao, and asked, "Why?"

Before Zhang Liao could explain, Xi Zhicai, Cao Xing, Wang Dong and others appeared.Xi Zhicai said: "General Gao, don't be angry. The enemy has sent strong reinforcements. In order to avoid unavoidable casualties, General Zhang just let them go."

"Strong reinforcements?" Gao Shun asked, "Who leads the troops, and how many troops?"

"Two thousand light cavalry." Xi Zhicai said truthfully, "It was just led by the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei."

"Guan Yu?...Why does it sound familiar?" Gao Shun recalled, exclaimed: "The Guan Yu who beheaded Li Meng, Wen Chou, escaped Yuan Shao with hundreds of people, and was hunted down by Yuan Shu?
By the way, I seem to have heard the general say that if you encounter Guan Yu, you must never fight alone, there is no chance of winning! "

Wang Dong had experienced Guan Yu's force, if it wasn't for his agility, he would have been beheaded.He smiled wryly and said, "Guan Yu is really difficult to fight. I am afraid that only the general can fight him. Even if he is trapped in the camp, it will be difficult to keep him. However, if the Shenbing camp uses secret weapons, it may be able to kill him."

"All right."

Zhang Liao interrupted them and ordered: "This battle is over, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then go to the county seat. I will report the progress of this battle to the general in a letter. I still need to ask the general about how to arrange it next."

……

A few days later, Lv Bu, who had just visited Hepu County, Jiaozhi County, and Yulin County, passed by Cangwu County, just received the battle report sent by Zhang Liao to Jia Xu.

"I didn't expect Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to join Sun Jian." Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu and said, "In this way, Sun Jian is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings added. Next, how will the general decide whether to withdraw troops or continue to go north to fight Sun Jian?"

Lu Bu put down the battle report written by Zhang Liao, smiled and said: "Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave and invincible, they attach great importance to brotherhood. Only Liu Bei is the leader. However, Liu Bei is probably not a person who is willing to live under others. He has ambitions.

As for whether to continue going north, I'm afraid we can only be powerless.Now Sun Jian controls the four counties of Jingzhou, except Lord Wuling, the other three counties have many waterways, how can they attack without a navy, isn't that courting death? "

"Oh?" Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu with great interest, and asked, "Then... the general means to accept as soon as he is good? But, Sun Jian may not agree, right? He has suffered a big loss this time, so he won't Give up easily."

"I'm talking about Wenhe, you are now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so you should share my worries, right?" Lu Bu pretended to be pitiful and said, "Now just dealing with all kinds of things in Jiaozhou is exhausted, and there is a limit to how good one can be. Overwork will die young, don't you think?"

Jia Xu twitched her face slightly, and said in her heart: I haven't fully understood you, Lu Bu. I say you are a god or a demon, but sometimes it is so true that you are just a person!

"General, if you trust Jia, you can allow Jia to write a letter to Sun Jian to know the benefits, and then borrow the prestige of the general, Sun Jian must be willing to sit down and have a good talk with us." Jia Xu said.

"Wen He is a great talent, completely trustworthy, so you can do whatever you want, and my general will take care of everything." Lu Bu said with a smile: "This general will get married next month, and I don't think there will be a war at that time. It's going to be troublesome."

"By the way, General Ben will cook in person tonight, and you come to try new dishes too."
