There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

But even so, he still held a trace of luck in his heart.

After all, Liu Qiong's grandfather is Fu Wan, and he has no relationship with Dong Cheng. It stands to reason that as long as he surrenders sincerely, the pottery merchant will not do anything to him. After all, he is only a vassal. Completely compared, the nature is completely different.

Thinking of this, Dong Cheng stabilized his mind and straightened his back.

I heard that pottery merchants love talents and recruit talents widely. Although I, Dong Cheng, am not strong, I am not bad. How can I say that I was also the number one figure in the Xiliang army back then, and even if he wanted to come to him with the surname Tao, he would not take me Shut it out?

Thinking of this, Dong Cheng made a long bow to the pottery merchant and said, "Prime Minister Tao, I would like to ask you to surrender."

Before he could finish speaking, the pottery merchant suddenly raised his hand and pointed at him and said, "Why is he still here? Pull it down and deal with it with Fu Wan. Don't stay here to make me an eyesore. People like this are on the battlefield next time." If you see it, just chop it up, don’t have to arrest me for interrogation, I don’t have time.”

"promise!"

Dong Cheng's face suddenly became stiff.

Just when the pottery merchant led his troops to intercept the fleeing warships of Liu Qiong, Fu Wan and others on the big river, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Liu Qi, Wei Yan, Pin, Pang Degong and others in Jiangling City also led their troops. He rushed out of the city, walked along the river from the north bank, and headed straight to the west.

Because of the situation discovered in advance, the fleet of Jiangling City was going upstream and sailing away, so Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who were in charge of the battle on the north bank, were given military orders to take advantage of this free time to attack Jiangling City. The method is to completely capture Jiangling City, take the entire territory of Jingzhou into the palm of your hand, and take down this last piece of hard bone.

But when the Jinling army attacked, they got news from the scouts, saying that a group of soldiers and horses were rushing out of Jiangling city and fleeing westward quickly.

This army is completely different from Liu Qiong's fleet. It is light and simple, and its speed is faster than the fleet, but its scale is not one-tenth of that of Liu Qiong and Fu Wan's fleet.

Zhao Yun had only received an order to capture Jiangling City in advance, but when he learned that Jiangling City had another army rushing upstream from the dry road, he didn't know what to do.

Right now, the pottery merchant is leading the water army to stop the Jiangling City fleet. If he sends someone to report the truth to the pottery merchant now, it may be because there is not enough time. Over there, it also needs the strong attack and guard of the army.

After all, Jiangling City is the most important right now.

Zhao Yun organized soldiers and horses and asked the ministries to prepare to attack the city from the north by land. At this juncture, Guo Jia came to see him and put forward different opinions.

Although Zhao Yun alone was responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses, Guo Jia still had a very high proportion of voice and advice.

Guo Jia said to Zhao Yun: "Now the prime minister is going to the waterway to intercept the fleeing people in the city, in order to catch the false emperor and end the two-day situation. Although General Zilong is ordered to attack Jiangling City, he will be different from his orders. Shou, if there is no false emperor on the fleet that the prime minister is currently chasing, but instead hides in this soldier, wouldn't the prime minister's painstaking efforts be in vain?"

Zhao Yun nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Mr. Feng Xiao's words are very true, but it's only from Jiangling City?"

"Although Jiangling City is large and strong, and it is dangerous and difficult to attack, it is based on the presence of capable people. If Guo's guess is correct, there are no capable people in the city. It's all right, the general is a brother of the prime minister, why bother to rush to attack, just give the credit for capturing Jiangling to others, and lead the cavalry to the west at full speed, chasing that soldier and horse, even if you can't take it, at least you can find out the truth and figure out what is wrong No matter what happened, it would not be in vain for the lord and the general to become sworn brothers."

Only then did Zhao Yun suddenly realize that he thanked Guo Jia, then found Huang Zhong, and asked him and the Jinling generals to preside over the attack on the generals, while Zhao Yun himself led the cavalry and ran westward.

Zhao Yun and the others were all elite white horse riders, and they were extremely fast. Even Liu Bei and the others were horsemen, and they caught up with them very quickly.

However, a spy responsible for investigating the situation in the rear reported the truth about Zhao Yun's pursuit to Liu Bei and others.

Liu Bei was in a hurry at the moment, but when he heard that Zhao Yun was chasing him, the speed under his feet was even faster.

Guan Yu said to Liu Bei: "Brother, it's not a long-term solution to let people be chased behind their buttocks like this. It's better for the younger brother to go to the rear and the elder brother to go first. After the younger brother retreats from Zhao Yun, it's not too late to chase after the elder brother!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! The third brother has already fallen into the hands of the bandit Tao. I am at a loss and don't know what to do. If the second brother makes a mistake, I would rather die with you two! "

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Guan Yu felt a little blocked for some reason.

But at this moment, the sound of horseshoes behind him reached the ears of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.

Liu Qi frightened his horse and caught up with Liu Bei: "Uncle, the enemy army has already caught up, what should we do now?"

8 Chapter Eighty

The Jinling White Horse Army was very fast, and they were also cavalry, but under the fast pursuit of the White Horse Army, they finally caught up with Liu Bei.

Seeing that the momentum was unstoppable, Liu Bei knew that there was no way to avoid it now.

At that moment, he said to Guan Yu in a deep voice: "Second brother, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Both Wei Yan and Wenpin were single-handedly promoted by Liu Biao back then, and they have a very close relationship with Liu Bei. In their hearts, Liu Bei and Liu Qi are more important than the seven-year-old emperor, so they also followed Liu Bei this time.

Liu Qi saw that Guan Yu and Liu Bei were ready to turn around to meet the enemy, so he immediately ordered Wei Yan and Wen Pin: "Please also ask the two generals to help my uncle!"

The second general will naturally respond to everything.

As a result, the Jingzhou cavalry stationed their horses one after another, turned their horses' heads together, and waited for the attack, carefully guarding against the pursuers behind.

When I was young, I saw the Jinling White Horse Army headed by Zhao Yun rushing to Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun waved his gun and commanded the soldiers of the three armies to stand still.

Zhao Yun rode forward slowly, and carefully looked at the cavalry on the opposite side.

But these cavalrymen on the opposite side were all wearing armor, with a murderous look, and their eyes and expressions were like tigers and wolves, but there were no chariots in their team.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun felt relieved.

At least he can be sure that in such a formation, the puppet emperor of the Jingzhou army is definitely not hiding in it.

Zhao Yun's mood relaxed a lot, he rode forward, cupped his hands at Liu Bei and said, "Mr. Xuande, long time no see."

Liu Bei drew out the double-pronged sword at his waist, and said, "General Zhao, Your Excellency should call me General Hussars."

Zhao Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "The hussar general appointed by the emperor himself was Tao Jun, when did he become Xuande Duke again? Why didn't I know? Now that Yide is under the prime minister's account, he is receiving a lot of hospitality. Day, doesn’t Duke Xuande want to see him?”

As soon as these words were said, Liu Bei's face suddenly changed.

He clenched the hands of the double-strand swords tightly, and even moved slightly.

Liu Bei showed a frosty face, and said: "Zhao Yun, tell the potter, if he dares to hurt my third brother, even if I, Liu Bei, are a ghost, I will never let him go."

Zhao Yun flicked the gun and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't Duke Xuande follow me back to Jiangling City and ask the Prime Minister for advice in person?"

Guan Yu was listening, and couldn't help being furious: "What a brave man!"

After all, he slapped his sword and danced his horse, and commanded his cavalry to charge towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was not afraid of him, so he rode up on his horse.

The cavalry of the two sides immediately went back and forth to fight in the dark night.

The cavalry of both sides are very powerful, and in this dark night, they fought on the bank of the river.

The soldiers on both sides fought against each other, and Guan Yu was duty-bound, so he naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting Zhao Yun.

The Azure Dragon Saber and the Silver Spear fought back and forth, and the two fierce generals set off a storm of frantic fighting in the battle formation of both sides.

Even in the dark night, the two sides fought extremely fiercely. For more than ten feet, no soldiers from either side could approach them.

The torches of the two armies were insufficiently prepared, and they could only engage in confrontation in limited light, but even so, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu did not seem to be hindered in the slightest. The weapons in their hands seemed to have eyes, and there was no jerky stagnation. .

And at this moment, there was a sound of beating drums from Fang upstream.
