Chapter 590 Ambush Liu Bei
Chapter 590 Ambush Liu Bei
While the two were chatting, a large number of people actually appeared at a corner in the distance.
"Be quiet."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were delighted and quickly whispered orders to the surrounding soldiers.
The two of them lowered their heads and looked carefully into the distance. There were three people leading the team.
One has big ears and the other has a big beard.
The third one was disheveled, with disheveled hair, wearing a Taoist robe and bare feet, and looked a little weak.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu had dealt with the first two men and recognized them as Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
Without much thinking, they knew that the third one must be Zhuge Liang.
It turned out that when Liu Bei received the news of Soochow's defeat, he personally brought people to support Zhuge Liang's retreat.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other excitedly, praising Lu Bu for his clever plan.
After all, according to the news, Zhuge Liang was still at Nanping Mountain in Red Cliff the day before, pretending to borrow the east wind; but now he has crossed the river and arrived at Xiakou. How can people not sigh in surprise?
When Liu Bei and the others slowly approached, they could vaguely hear their conversation.
Zhuge Liang asked weakly: "My lord, didn't we agree before that Yide would come to pick me up? Why was it sent by Yunchang?"
"This…"
Liu Bei paused for a moment, his eyes flickered, and then continued. "Yide has been training hard recently and has been busy with affairs."
When he heard the mention of his third brother, Guan Yu sighed slightly, with a look of worry on his face.
Zhuge Liang naturally noticed this and asked hurriedly: "My lord, General Yide will not be injured, right?"
"No, no, my third brother is very skilled in martial arts. As long as he doesn't meet Lu Bu, most people are probably no match for him."
Liu Bei told the truth, but he did not tell the real reason why Zhang Fei did not come.
It turns out that after Zhang Fei's previous failure, his personality became even more eccentric and irritable.
Even when walking alone on the road, he frowned, often muttered, and cursed Lu Bu with all kinds of unpleasant words, looking very angry.
He also became a little obsessive in practicing martial arts. During his usual sparring sessions with Guan Yu, the latter keenly noticed that Zhang Fei's marksmanship was becoming more and more insidious and narrow, and he liked to throw embroidery needles with red threads from time to time.
In this regard, Liu Bei and Guan Yu often enlightened him and told him some common things about victory and defeat, so that Zhang Fei should not pay too much attention to what happened before.
As long as you work hard, you can definitely defeat Lu Bu.
However, Zhang Fei couldn't listen at all. After drinking a jar of wine, he murmured and scolded the two elder brothers in a bad tone.
He would say that if I mastered some magical skills, I would definitely be invincible in the world, and an embroidery needle could kill Lu Bu.
Then, regardless of the instructions of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, he pinched his orchid fingers and walked out coyly, practicing hard in the backyard, hoping to defeat Lu Bu one day.
On the mountain road, Liu Bei didn't want to mention Zhang Fei's affairs too much. He planned to wait for the military advisor to return and then ask him to slowly think of a solution.
Looking at Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Bei asked: "Commander, why do you have scalded blisters on your face?"
Guan Yu was also concerned. "Yes, you still have two big bumps on your forehead. What happened?"
Anyway, there were no people from Soochow around, so Zhuge Liang decided that for his own face, he had to tell some white lies.
"The war in Soochow was fierce, and sometimes I had to go to the front line in person, so I was injured.
But these are nothing. It is worth dying for my lord to restore the Han Dynasty. "
"Military advisor, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Bei had tears in his eyes and nodded gratefully. "Now that Soochow is defeated and without the natural protection of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan may not be able to support Lu Bu's army. What should we do next?"
Zhuge Liang had already made plans and even had assumptions about this in Longzhong.
He wanted to shake the feather fan, but found that there was nothing in his hand, so he had to lift the black hair from his face.
"My lord, Lu Bu relies on no one but his own courage. The natural dangers of the Yangtze River caused him great difficulties.
Without the natural danger of the Yangtze River, we can take advantage of other terrains, namely high mountains and steep mountains. "
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei nodded slightly, and he understood that the former referred to Liu Zhang of Yizhou.
Yizhou's territory is very large, including the current Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and other places. In terms of area, it is the second largest warlord after Lu Bu, and he indeed has the confidence to dominate.
But Guan Yu was disdainful. He thought to himself: "In the beginning, Lu Bu did rely on the courage of one man, but now he has many good generals, and he is no longer what he used to be."
Not wanting to listen to Zhuge Liang's chatter about how to make a big cake, Guan Yu used the excuse of checking out the enemy's situation and urged his horse forward alone.
"Do it."
Seeing Liu Bei's men entering the ambush, Dian Wei roared.
As soon as they were startled by the roar, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang felt their eyes flash, and then a rope pulled them from front to back to the bottom of the horse.
Guan Yu was also faced with a tripping rope, but with his quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly turned the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with the blade facing forward, and the tripping rope snapped.
"Big brother."
Seeing that Liu Bei was in danger, Guan Yu was eager to turn around and rescue him, but he heard shouts from around him, and two generals rushed out.
"Get out of the way."
Eager to save his brother, Guan Yu still waved his sword and ran back.
puff!
A Lu Jun was unable to parry, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword passed by, and half of the soldier's shoulder was cut off.
Guan Yu wanted to raise his sword to cut down another Lu Jun, but suddenly there was a sound of wind in his ears. He thought to himself that it was not good, so he lowered his head to avoid it.
A short halberd flew past Guan Yu's back.
"Your opponent is me."
"He Fangxiao dares to block my way." Guan Yu shouted angrily.
Dian Wei laughed and shouted, "Dian Wei is Lu Bu's general."
"I, Xu Chu, have long wanted to learn how to use the Qinglong Yanyue Sword." Xu Chu raised his fists wildly.
"Ah? It's actually Lu Bu's army?"
This surprise was no small matter. Zhuge Liang, who was lying on the ground, was in a panic. He was sure that Zhou Yu would kill him and made an escape plan in advance. Why would Lu Bu send someone to ambush him?
Why did Lu Bu know?
Zhuge Liang's eyes became dull and he allowed Lu Jun to tie him up tightly.
At this time, his heart was filled with despair. When he knew that it was Lu Bu's army, he had no regrets anymore.
Previously, he was unwilling because he thought he had the ability to compete with Lu Bu, but now he felt weak and had no fighting spirit.
Since Guan Yu was stopped by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Liu Bei was naturally tied up, but he was dissatisfied.
"Second brother, don't worry about my life for now. As long as we take down these two, my brother will be safe and sound."
He had just fallen off his horse and didn't pay attention. He didn't hear that the other party was Dian Wei or Xu Chu, otherwise he would not have dared to speak nonsense.
Guan Yu smiled bitterly, held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in front of his chest, and stared at the opponent with a solemn expression.
"Are we going together or alone?"
Guan Yu's voice was cold. In his heart, he wanted to fight alone. He was confident that he would never suffer a loss if he risked his life.
However, what he really faced was Lu Bu.
