"I won't go, I won't go! Ping 'er is fighting at the front. How can I, as his uncle, leave? "Liu Bei shouted loudly.
"My lord, this matter is urgent. You can't stay here!" Pang Shiyuan said to Liu Bei.
"No, I won't go!" Liu Bei insisted.
"Men, tie up my lord and leave!"
"Pang Shiyuan, what are you doing?"
"Ping 'er, if this matter is irreversible, you should leave immediately to protect yourself! Your father and I are waiting for you to come back! " Liu Bei squeezed out a few tears from the corner of his eyes and said to Guan Ping, who was helping Liu Bei block Taishi Ci.
Liu Bei had used this trick a hundred times. There would always be people who would hear such words and feel like they would die for their bosom friend.
"My lord, rest assured. As long as I, Guan Ping, am still alive, I will not let the pursuers reach you!" Guan Ping's eyes were filled with tears. He was moved by Liu Bei.
You see, with such a lord, who cared about his subordinates in times of crisis and did not leave the battlefield, how could he not be moved? Therefore, Guan Ping was already dead set on sacrificing himself for Liu Bei.
"Haha, it's just hypocrisy!" Taishi Ci had experienced Liu Bei's previous attitude.
In the North Sea, Liu Bei was like this. He was very polite and also very concerned about his subordinates. However, every time he cared about his subordinates, they would all die in battle.
For Liu Bei, Taishi Ci only had one standard, and that was, a person who abandoned his own teacher. Such a person's character could not be good.
Therefore, although Liu Bei's performance was very good, Taishi Ci was not interested. Moreover, after joining the Yangzhou army, Liu Bei's various characteristics were spread as a joke in the Yangzhou army.
"Taishi Ci, I, Guan Ping, respect you as a good man. However, if you want to insult my lord's reputation, I can spare you, but the saber in my hand won't!" Guan Ping glared at Taishi Ci and said. ,
"Haha!" Taishi Ci knew that it was pointless for him to say anything more. Weren't Mi Zhu and Sun Qian like this as well? They were dead set on Liu Bei. In the end, both of them were abandoned. There was also one called Liu Pi. He was given to Liu Bei in Yuzhou. In the end, he was killed by Liu Bei's people. It was truly ironic.
"Guan Ping, you should know that you are no match for me. If you step aside now, you can still live!" Taishi Ci said to Guan Ping. He didn't care about the direction in which Liu Bei had escaped. That direction was none other than one part of their plan.
"If you want me to step aside, then step over my dead body!" Guan Ping was brainwashed by Liu Bei. He was very loyal to Liu Bei.
"Since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill your wish!" Taishi Ci said indifferently.
"Kill!" Once again, the two of them clashed with each other.
Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan were on the way to escape. Suddenly, Liu Bei sighed.
"Milord, what happened?" Pang Shiyuan asked Liu Bei. "Is Milord worried about General Guan Ping?" Pang Shiyuan could see that Guan Ping was hungry. Liu Bei would look back for every step he took. The only person who could make Liu Bei like this was Guan Ping.
"Milord is worthy of being benevolent and righteous. Rest assured, Milord, General Guan Ping will be safe and sound!" Pang Shiyuan comforted Liu Bei.
"Maybe!" Liu Bei sighed. He was indeed worried about Guan Ping. Of course, it was not the kind of concern that a father would have for his son. He was thinking that if Guan Ping died in battle, how would he explain it to Guan Yu? Liu Bei was a person who could throw his own son around like a jar. Not to mention other people's sons, even if it was his own son, if he wanted to protect Liu Bei's life, he would also abandon him.
If Guan Ping died, then so be it. At worst, Liu Bei would cry for Guan Ping.
However, the key problem was that Guan Ping was the son of his second brother, Guan Yu. Guan Yu only had one precious son. If Guan Ping died on the battlefield, although Guan Yu would not blame Liu Bei, Liu Bei would be worried that Guan Yu would be dispirited because of this. In that case, Guan Yu's value would be much less.
"Milord, General Liao Hua has returned!" A messenger ran to Liu Bei and reported to Liu Bei.
"Liao Hua has returned?" Liu Bei did not expect Liao Hua to be alive. "Quick, let him come!"
"Milord!" Liao Hua came quickly and knelt in front of Liu Bei. He cried and said, "Milord, Liao Hua is incompetent. I caused Milord to lose your army and not be able to take Fancheng. All of this is Liao Hua's fault. Milord, please kill Liao Hua!"
Liao Hua was also sad. It was not easy for the Yellow Turban Army to become an army. Then, their boss, Liu Bei, was killed by Liu Bei.
Fortunately, Liu Bei saw Liao Hua's talent and kept him. However, the new boss was not happy for long. The new boss was beaten up by Yangzhou's King of Han, Liu Mang. Originally, it could be said that they were qualified to compete for the overlord of the Central Plains. Later, they were just struggling at death's door.
Later, Pang Shiyuan, the military advisor, found a way in Jingzhou. Their boss, Liu Bei, also went there.
After taking Jingzhou, Liao Hua's status also rose. He became the general of an army with more than ten thousand troops.
He was really pleased with himself. He hadn't even warmed up yet.
Then the King of Han Liu Mang's army came again to kill him. Together with his army, he was wiped out.
Liao Hua had sacrificed many of his personal guards in order to kill his way to Liu Bei's side. When he looked carefully, he found that there were only two or three cats left.
"Men!" Liu Bei looked at Liao Hua's miserable appearance. He was really angry. He really wanted to chop Liao Hua into pieces.
However, after thinking about it, Liu Bei gave up on this idea. This meant that Liao Hua still had some value. Although Liu Bei had taken Jingzhou, there were still a lot of vacancies.
Although Liao Hua was defeated late and he was also from the Yellow Turban Army, he was still someone who could lead an army.
It was just like Sun Qian. Even if Liu Bei knew that Sun Qian's talent was only enough to govern a county, he had no other choice. Liu Bei did not have any talent. He could only pick someone who could take over.
If Sun Qian had not offended Pang Shiyuan, he would have been Liu Bei's favorite. Pang Shiyuan was also not that narrow-minded and wanted Sun Qian dead, Liu Bei would not have been willing to abandon Sun Qian.
Now that the Yangzhou Army had arrived at Fan City, it meant that Sun Qian was probably dead.
"Milord, this is the enemy's deceit. It is not the fault of the soldiers. Please forgive General Liao Hua!" Pang Shiyuan gave Liu Bei a way out. Liu Bei also went with the flow.
"Alright, General Liao Hua, please get up. Victory and defeat are common in war. If everyone was like you, then there would be no more generals in this world!" Liu Bei said to Liao Hua.
"However, you can avoid death, but you can't escape. Now, I need you to redeem yourself. Use your status as a general to gather the defeated soldiers. We will retreat to Xiangyang!" Liu Bei said to Liao Hua.
"Thank you, Milord. Thank you, Military Advisor. Please rest assured. I will not let you down!" Liao Hua cupped his fist and said to Liu Bei.
"Reporting! Not good! Not good! Milord, the Yangzhou Army is behind us!" It turned out that when Liao Hua was defeated, he had also provoked another person. That person was Zhang Yun of Fan City.
When Zhang Yun was defending Fan City, he was bullied by Liao Hua very badly.
When Liu Bei's army fought, it was similar to Liu Mang's scoundrel fighting style. First, they would bombard the enemy with catapults.
First, they would hit all the boulders around them and destroy the city. Then, they would send their troops.
What battering rams? What well railings? What can make you feel disgusted?
Originally, Liu Bei's army was more than Zhang Yun's. Now that he was using all kinds of tricks, it made Zhang Yun go crazy. Liao Hua had angered Zhang Yun a lot.
He was just short of pointing at Zhang Yun's nose and cursing. He had even given Zhang Yun more than a dozen sets of women's clothes.
You said that Zhang Yun's army was not as strong as yours and was suppressed by you. Fine, I endured it and admitted defeat. But now! I have reinforcements, and I beat you until you throw away your helmet and armor.
If I don't take revenge now, when will I?
As for what 'revenge is a dish best served cold', it was all a lie. If you have the ability, you will take revenge on the spot. If you can endure for ten years, then you are a turtle.
Therefore, Zhang Yun, who was chasing Liao Hua, came with five thousand troops.
"Milord! You all leave quickly. I will block this place. I will not let Zhang Yun hurt Milord! "Liao Hua said with a bit of self-sacrificing momentum.
Liu Bei nodded and prepared to run. This Liu Bei's reputation was not just for show.
"No need!" Pang Shiyuan suddenly opened his mouth.
"En?" Liu Bei looked at Pang Shiyuan with a look of disbelief. "Military Advisor, where there is life, there is hope. There is no need to fight because of personal feelings!" Liu Bei said earnestly to Pang Shiyuan.
He was really afraid that Pang Shiyuan would be like what happened in Yingshang and be burned to death by Liu Mang. He was not willing to retreat.
Pang Shiyuan shook his head. He knew that Liu Bei was afraid of death. "Milord, if Zhang Yun did not chase after us, then we would have been defeated. We can only withdraw to Xiangyang and prepare the army for war! But now, this Zhang Yun dares to lead the army to chase after us. Then, don't blame us. We can't waste this merit! "Pang Shiyuan said to Liu Bei. His eyes revealed a kind of confidence.
"You mean?" Although Liu Bei's nickname was Liu Bei, it was undeniable that he was also a tactician. He could be regarded as a rare talent in the art of war.
"Milord, we let Jian Yong lead the army to attack the flank and let the second general camp by the Yangtze River. We were afraid that Yangzhou Liu Mang would send troops. Now, it seems that we were right!" Pang Shiyuan explained to Liu Bei and the others. When Pang Shiyuan asked Guan Yu to camp at the Yangtze River Navy, it was to guard against the Yangzhou Navy. Who would have thought that the Yangzhou Navy would detour to the rear of Fan City. This sudden appearance of the Yangzhou Navy caught Liu Bei's army by surprise. But now, it was not important.
As long as Zhang Yun dared to chase after them, Pang Shiyuan could not blame him.
"It is impolite not to return the favor. This Fan City's army is ours!" Pang Shiyuan had his own confidence.
"Pass down the order, the entire army is to rest and wait for the arrival of Zhang Yun's army!" Pang Shiyuan said to Liao Hua.
Zhang Yun's Yangzhou Army had already experienced the battle of Fan City. Now, they were chasing after Liao Hua and the others. It could be said that they were exhausted but their numbers were more than Liu Bei's current army. But don't forget that Pang Shiyuan still had reinforcements.
This reinforcements was Guan Yu's army that had camped by the Yangtze River. Guan Yu's army had 5,000 cavalrymen and it only took them half a day to reach here from the Yangtze River.
Once the army arrived, they would be able to catch the enemy off guard. If Zhang Yun brought enough troops, he could even reverse the situation.
"Good, let's do it!" Liu Bei also nodded and could not help but praise. Although Liu Bei was the best at running away, who would be willing to run away if they could win the battle?
"Guan Ping. Surrender! You can't win! "Taishi Ci stood in front of Guan Ping as he spoke to Guan Ping.
Although both of them were at the refinement stage, the gap between them was still very big. Guan Ping had just stepped into the refinement stage while Taishi Ci had been in the refinement stage for many years.
If there was a second person in Jiangdong besides Sun Ce who could break through the refinement stage and reach the pinnacle of the refinement stage, then there would be no one else other than Taishi Ci.
If Guan Ping could defeat such a general who was on par with Zhao Yun, then it would be a miracle.
Guan Ping had also lost too much blood. His whole body was pale. He knew that he couldn't hold on any longer. If he could, he wanted to surrender. At least he could survive. However, when that person's words echoed in his mind, he hesitated. That person had always been a strict father in front of him. He had taught him martial arts and the art of war, but he had never taught him how to surrender. If he, Guan Ping, surrendered, that person would be very disappointed!
Thinking of this, Guan Ping's will became firm. "Surrender? Haha, our Guan family only has people who die in battle, no one surrenders! "Guan Ping said to Taishi Ci with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Then I can only apologize!" Taishi Ci admired Guan Yu's character, so he took good care of Guan Yu's son, Guan Ping. Otherwise, Guan Ping would have died under Taishi Ci's spear a long time ago.
But now! Taishi Ci had given Guan Ping enough face, so he would not have any thoughts of killing him.
"I'll send you on your way!" Taishi Ci raised his spear and was about to stab Guan Ping's chest.
But the arm holding the spear was stopped by someone. "Lord …" Seeing the person who came, Taishi Ci could not help but call out the title that he had been calling for a long time.
"General Taishi, there is no lord now, only Sun Ce is in front of you!" Sun Ce said to Taishi Ci with a smile.
"Yes!" Taishi Ci lowered his head. His lord was much happier than before, perhaps because he had been with the governor for a long time.
Sun Ce looked at Guan Ping. "This person cannot be killed, he is useful!" This sentence decided Guan Ping's life.
With the help of Taishi Ci and Sun Ce who was at the pinnacle of the refinement stage, Guan Ping was slapped unconscious.
