At that time, Liu Bei had lost so badly that his crotch was almost gone. That was why he gritted his teeth and came to Jingzhou. He even acted like a grandson in front of a junior like Huang She. He did not expect that after coming to Jingzhou, this salted fish would really make a comeback.
Huang She killed Liu Biao, and Liu Bei killed Huang She. It was really an eye for an eye.
"Endure for a while and the wind will be calm!" Liu Bei took a deep breath. Anyway, he, Liu Bei, had been a tortoise for a long time. He did not care about this little bit of time.
"My lord, after taking Fancheng, we will send an envoy to Yangzhou!" Pang Shiyuan continued.
"Send an envoy?" Liu Bei frowned. His current miserable state was ultimately caused by the Yangzhou army.
Xuzhou and Yuzhou were either chased around by Lü Bu or his son-in-law Liu Mang. Liu Bei could not afford to offend them, but he could hide. But now, Pang Shiyuan wanted him to send an envoy to Yangzhou? Was this to provoke the Yangzhou army?
"My lord, if we send an envoy, we will make peace!" Pang Shiyuan was also very uncomfortable, but he had to endure. "My lord, now that Cao Cao and Liu Mang have each taken back the north and the Central Plains, the two of them will have a battle sooner or later! If it were you, my lord, in the face of a great enemy, what would you do? "Pang Shiyuan asked Liu Bei.
"If I were those two …" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment. "I would eliminate all threats! To ensure that we can have a decisive battle! "If it were Liu Bei, he would definitely eliminate all unfavorable factors!
"You mean?" Liu Bei's eyes widened.
"If we don't send an envoy, I'm afraid that the Yangzhou army will enter Jingzhou next!" Pang Shiyuan said.
No matter if it was Liu Mang or Cao Cao, they wouldn't allow anyone to take advantage of the situation.
Cao Cao was dealing with Ma Chao, but for Liu Mang, it was Liu Bei's Jingzhou.
"If necessary, we have to bow our heads!" Pang Shiyuan also threw caution to the wind. His face was not as good as Liu Bei's. He had been beaten by Liu Mang many times.
Pang Shiyuan felt like killing someone when he heard Luo Yunyang call him Little Fire Chicken at the Ying River. Pang Shiyuan had also been toyed with by Liu Mang during the trip to Jingzhou.
If it was in the past, Pang Shiyuan would not bow down to Liu Mang even if he had to die. But now, Pang Shiyuan was even more terrifying.
Liu Bei thought for a while and gritted his teeth. He had been acting like a grandson for so many years, this time was not a big deal. "Alright, for our great cause, we'll endure Liu Mang!"
"Haha, the Lord is the Lord. You can endure the things that the world can't endure, only then can you accomplish the things that the world can't accomplish!" Pang Shiyuan also flattered from the side.
Above Fan City, Zhang Yun's army was already struggling bitterly. After taking Fan City, they would receive supplies from Fan City to recuperate. "Liu Mang, you brat, I, Liu Bei, will definitely trample you under my feet!" Liu Bei swore in his heart.
"Report!" A report came from the watchtower of Liu Bei's camp.
"My lord, the gate of Fan City is open!" The scout on the watchtower reported.
"The gate of Fan City is open. Liao Hua has taken Fan City. Good, good!" Liu Bei clapped his hands and shouted in joy. The sooner he took Fan City, the sooner he, Liu Bei, could return to Jingzhou. He could sit back and watch Liu Mang and Cao Cao fight to the death.
"No, no, no, General Liao Hua is still attacking the city!" The scout shook his head and said.
"Hmm?" Liu Bei pushed the scout aside and looked up at the watchtower.
He saw that the drawbridge of Fan City had been lowered and the gate was opened. He saw a group of people rushing out of the city. Even Liao Hua and the others were shocked. That was why they allowed this group of people to charge out.
Looking at their marching route, he snorted. Liu Bei coldly snorted because these people were heading towards the catapults of Liu Bei's army.
"They are simply daydreaming!" Liu Bei's snort was not without reason.
Liu Bei's army's main force was with Liao Hua, but there were also a lot of people protecting the catapults. He was afraid that Zhang Yun would send people to destroy the catapults.
If Zhang Yuncong had sent his troops to resist and destroy these trebuchets from the very beginning, they might still have a chance to survive. But now?! Hmph, Zhang Yun's city was almost unable to hold on. Half of the soldiers on the city walls were Liu Bei's men.
So what if those trebuchets were destroyed?
Even if Liu Bei wanted to destroy these catapults before he left, the help from Fan City might still help Liu Bei with this task.
"Where is Hu Che Er?" Liu Bei shouted to his subordinates. Although those catapults would be destroyed sooner or later, Liu Bei was not willing to let Zhang Yun do it for him.
Even if Liu Bei didn't want his things, he wouldn't give it to you.
"This general is here!" A one-armed general came forward and half-knelt in front of Liu Bei. This person was Hu Che Er.
Hu Che Er had followed Liu Bei for some time. In the past, Hu Che Er followed Zhang Xiu. But after Zhang Xiu died, Hu Che Er wanted to replace him. In the end, he was tricked by Jia Xu and lost one of his arms.
Those were the most miserable days of Hu Che Er's life. But now, Hu Che Er was slowly coming out of it.
However, he didn't have a good time in Liu Bei's army.
He was actually under Liao Hua. Looking at Liao Hua's army while Hu Che Er could only watch from the side, he naturally didn't feel good in his heart.
"Hu Che Er, as a man, it doesn't matter if you lose an arm. As long as you are still alive, you will have the opportunity to take revenge. Today, I will give you a chance to show yourself. You will lead three thousand troops and I will take down Zhang Yun's army!" Liu Bei smiled and said to Hu Che Er.
That smile seemed to be full of hope for Hu Che Er.
"Hu Che Er will not let Milord down!" Hu Che Er said gratefully to Liu Bei. In Hu Che Er's heart, Liu Bei was equivalent to Hu Che Er's second parent. Once a general was crippled, his fate could be imagined.
In the past, Wu Anguo, who could fight with Lu Bu for dozens of rounds, because of losing half of his hand, directly died in the chaotic times. Needless to say, Lu Bu, who lost his entire arm.
On the other hand, Liu Bei did not dislike Hu Che Er. Although Hu Che Er's status had plummeted, he was still a military officer.
"Western Liang's warriors, come with me!" Hu Che Er got on his horse and directly rode towards the enemies coming out of Fan City.
He watched as Hu Che Er led his 3,000 soldiers and left with high morale.
Pang Shiyuan also took a step forward and said, "Milord, why are you so good to an outsider? Those who are not of our race must have different intentions!" Although Pang Shiyuan was unscrupulous, he still had one thing in him, and that was a high sense of pride in his identity as a man.
Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the common people considered themselves as China. At that time, they were indeed from all sides.
They were the overlords of Asia. This sense of pride came from everyone's heart.
"Haha, Military Advisor is right. Those who are not of our race must have different intentions. However, a dead man will not have disloyalty!" Liu Bei said with a smile.
Liu Bei was just starting out. Therefore, whether it was in the army or in the city, he lacked a lot of talents. Although Hu Che Er was an untrained wolf, he betrayed Zhang Xiu once. He would also betray Liu Bei.
However, would Liu Bei be worried? No, no matter how powerful an untrained wolf was, it would not be able to fight against a mountain wolf.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei was a mountain wolf king.
For Liu Bei, Hu Che Er was just a one-time consumable.
Right now, Hu Che Er's 3,000 Xiliang soldiers were still useful to Liu Bei. Once this effect was offset, Hu Che Er would die.
Liu Bei only needed to give a few words of encouragement. He didn't even need to give Hu Che Er this. He just needed to smile at Hu Che Er and Hu Che Er would stick out his tongue and wag his tail, begging for comfort.
Pang Shiyuan also nodded and no longer spoke. This might be an opportunity for Hu Che Er.
This was because both Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan were not interested in the soldiers coming out of Fan City.
In their view, Zhang Yun was just a cornered dog jumping over the wall.
However, they had indeed wronged Zhang Yun.
"General, not good, not good. The city gate has been opened!" Zhang Yun was still fighting on the city wall. Don't underestimate Zhang Yun. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was used by Zhou Yu to drive a wedge between them. Because of this, Cao Cao was able to kill Zhang Yun and Cai Mao. At first glance, he was just a minor character.
But when you face him, you will find that he wasn't that bad.
It wasn't easy to protect one's family property in this chaotic world.
Jingzhou was very prosperous. The only place that could compare to Jingzhou was Xu Province.
As for Tao Qian, the Prefecture Overseer of Xu Province, he was someone who could lead troops to conquer foreign tribes and fight with the Ten Attendants. In the end, he was the one who caused the Tao Clan to fall apart. Xu Province eventually became his burial ground.
On the other hand, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao kept their foundation in Jingzhou. On the other hand, Jiangdong's Little Conqueror, Sun Ce, was eyeing them covetously.
The reason why Zhou Yu wanted to drive a wedge between Cao Cao and Zhang Yun was because these two people were too big of a threat to Jiangdong. They had to be killed.
Zhou Yu wouldn't have done this if they were two idiots. Because a godly opponent was better than a pig teammate.
Now, Zhang Yun's face was covered with blood. He didn't know whether it was the blood of the enemy or his own. He had changed his sword again and again. Although Zhang Yun was only a second-rate general, when he went crazy, even a first-rate general would have to avoid him.
Liao Hua didn't fight with Zhang Yun for the first time, but Zhang Yun was able to defeat him.
"Haha, Zhang Yun, surrender! Your city gate has been breached by my lord's army. As long as you surrender, I will plead for mercy in front of my lord and leave your corpse intact! " Liao Hua wasn't far from Zhang Yun. When he heard such news, how could he not use it to attack the morale of Zhang Yun's army?
"Dream on!" Zhang Yun snorted. The battle had already reached this point. There was no point in surrendering. The grudge between Fan City and Liu Bei's army had already been established. It was either you and I, or I, die.
There wouldn't be a third outcome.
"No, no, General. The city gate was opened from the center of the city! Not from outside the city! "The soldier continued.
"Could it be that Liu Bei had already arranged for his troops to be in my city?!" When he thought of this news, Zhang Yun was both annoyed and angry. Before Cai Pa left, she had repeatedly reminded him to protect Fan City.
He didn't expect that a spy would sneak in.
"Zhang Yun, you no longer have a chance! Zhang Yun, you may not be afraid of death, but do you want everyone around you to die with you?! " Liao Hua had been with Liu Bei for a long time. Naturally, he was familiar with the military. When attacking a city, the top would attack the enemy's plans. Only when the bottom would attack the city.
This was the highest level of psychological warfare.
"General, look! Why are those soldiers attacking us?" Liao Hua was still trying to persuade Zhang Yuner when he heard the exclamation of his personal guard.
Liao Hua followed his guard's gaze and saw that a group of troops had suddenly charged out of the city. Not only did they not take down the city walls to attack Zhang Yun, but they were also attacking his own troops.
"How can this be?!" Liao Hua was stunned. His troops were caught off guard. Siege wagons, walls, and the like were all destroyed by this group of troops.
"Haha! Haha! " Zhang Yun was also shocked. However, Zhang Yun wasn't someone to be trifled with. No matter how surprised he was, he acted like another Mo Yang.
"Liao Hua, Liao Hua, you have already been fooled by me. Do you really think that these people are your troops?! These people are my ambush! "In an instant, these people who didn't even know Zhang Yun's name had become his troops.
Liao Hua turned his head and stared at Zhang Yun.
These troops are Zhang Yun's ambush troops? Could it be that Zhang Yun still has reinforcements?!
Good, good, this Zhang Yun is really good at hiding his strength.
Even Liao Hua was shocked by Zhang Yun's calmness.
One had to know that Fan City couldn't hold on any longer and could fall at any time. However, Zhang Yun had been silent all this time and only sent out his troops now.
It was really tolerable!
"Hmph! So what if this is the case?! " Liao Hua raised his saber and pointed it at Zhang Yun. "If you had been like this before, I, Liao Hua, would not have been afraid of you. But now that Fan City is about to fall and you only have one army left, even if you take the catapults, Fan City will change hands!" Liao Hua continued.
Fan City couldn't hold on any longer unless Zhang Yun had reinforcements. On the city walls, Liao Hua already had more troops than Zhang Yun.
Originally, Zhang Yun could still rely on the city walls to defend for a while. However, the city walls couldn't hold on any longer.
Even if the catapults were destroyed, they wouldn't be of any help to the overall situation!
