Three Kingdoms: Concubine Yu Ji Lu Pheasant, I Overthrow the Han Dynasty

"The best strategy is to kill Lu Lingqi and force Zhang Liao and others to surrender."

"Right now, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng are dead, and Lu Bu's old generals include Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, and Cao Xing."

"Based on Gong's understanding of them, Wei Xu and Gao Shun will never surrender, but Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing are very likely to surrender."

"Zhang Liao is both civil and military, and he is a rare handsome talent."

"Cheng Lian is a brave general, and his martial arts are not inferior to the two generals."

"Although Cao Xing's martial arts are weaker, his archery skills are by no means inferior to Lu Bu's."

"If Duke Xuande can recruit these three people, it will definitely be even more powerful."

Guan Yu was thinking of Mrs. Du, so naturally he refused to go to Qingzhou immediately.

"Brother, I think it's the best strategy."

Liu Bei has always loved talents, so naturally he couldn't bear to give up such an opportunity.

Otherwise, Zhang Liao and others will inevitably defect to Yingwu, which is not what Liu Bei wants to see.

"Okay, use the best strategy." Liu Bei made up his mind, "Yun Chang, Yi De, gather troops and horses, go to kill Lu Lingqi, Wei Xu, Gao Shun, and recruit Zhang Liao and others."

Over there, Cheng Lian broke out of the siege and quickly found Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao saw Cheng Lian running back covered in blood all alone, he couldn't help being shocked: "Wen Yi, what happened, where is Marquis Wen?"

Cheng Lian gasped: "Marquis Wen has fallen for the trick. Liu Bei and Chen Gong teamed up to ambush the archers and shot Marquis Wen to death."

"My brothers are all dead, only I fought my way out of the siege and came back to report."

Zhang Liao was extremely shocked.

Lu Bu is dead?

Killed by Liu Bei and Chen Gong?

Immediately, Zhang Liao remembered the disagreement just now.

"Oh, I was careless." Zhang Liao felt great hatred in his heart, "I forgot that Liu Bei is the clan of the Han family."

Cheng Lian immediately asked: "Wen Yuan, Marquis Wen is dead, what should we do now?"

Zhang Liao calmed down, and thought quickly: "With Liu Bei's ambition, he will definitely not let us go."

"In the past few days, our soldiers and horses have been less than five hundred."

"But Liu Bei's soldiers and horses still have as many as seven hundred."

"We still have to divide our troops to protect the eldest lady and the ladies, so naturally we are no match for them."

"For the moment, if you want to protect your wife and eldest lady, there is only one way."

Cheng Lian was shocked: "Wen Yuan, you... you want to surrender to Liu Bei?"

Zhang Liao's face darkened: "Liu Bei killed Marquis Wen, and I, Zhang Liao, had a sworn hatred against him. How could I surrender to him."

"Wen Yi, hurry up now..."

Cheng Lian was listened to by Zhang Liao, his eyes lit up, he said "yes", he hurriedly pulled over a horse, and left quickly.

Zhang Liao looked in the direction of Liu Bei's courtyard and murmured to himself, "Liu Bei, if you kill Wen Hou, Zhang Liao will surely kill you."

Then, Zhang Liao immediately got on his horse and yelled: "Order, set the food and grass on fire immediately, and follow me to Madam's residence to protect Madam and Miss."

After a while, the food and grass were ignited, and the fire that soared into the sky immediately illuminated almost the entire Xiaopei City.

This is all the rations in Lu Bu's army, which were burned up by Zhang Liao.

Tomorrow, either go grab the people's rations, or starve.

Liu Bei and Chen Gongzheng led 700 troops and rushed to this side in a hurry, when they saw the fire soaring into the sky.

"Not good..." Chen Gong immediately yelled, and hurriedly said to Liu Bei, "Mr. Xuande, the best strategy is useless. Let's quickly leave the north gate and go to Qingzhou."

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why did Gongtai say that?"

Chen Gong sighed, "Cheng Lian escaped just now, so he must tell Zhang Liao about Lu Bu's death."

"But Zhang Liao burned the food in a rage, apparently to warn Duke Xuande that he would never surrender to Duke Xuande."

"This..." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Fei called out and said, "Since Zhang Liao is unwilling to surrender, why should we waste time, we should leave as soon as possible."

leave?

Guan Yu rolled his eyes straight away, what about Mrs. Du?

"Brother..." Guan Yu immediately said, "Little brother has an old relationship with Wen Yuan, maybe he can be persuaded to serve my brother."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "I almost forgot about the friendship between Yun Chang and Wen Yuan."

"It all depends on Yun Chang."

Chapter 031 Dead Zhang Fei and Dead Guan Yu are Different

"My lord, a fire suddenly broke out in Xiaopei City."

When Yingwu was about to rest, Wang Jian ran over suddenly.

Xiao Pei is on fire?

Ying Wu's heart moved, he immediately followed Wang Jian to the outside of the tent, and looked towards Xiaopei City.

"The fire is concentrated in one place, it is very dense, it seems to be food and grass."

Wang Jian nodded: "My lord is wise, he is definitely food and grass."

Ying Wu frowned, and muttered to himself: "If Lu Bu and Liu Bei fled the city tonight, they could only do so quietly. How could they burn the food and grass?"

"If they want to lure our army into the city to ambush, they are not strong enough."

"According to reports from scouts, there is no other army within a hundred miles."

"Could it be, internal strife?"

Wang Jian nodded: "The last general also guessed in the same way."

Shang Yang was left in Xiapi City, otherwise, it would definitely be an internal strife.

Suddenly, a black-armored soldier came to report: "I want to report to my lord, a general from Xiaopei City called himself Cheng Lian, and asked to see my lord, saying that I have something important to report to my lord."

Cheng Lian?

Ying Wu knew, however, that Cheng Lian was a hero under Lu Bu's command, and his martial arts skills were still higher than those of Zhang Liao.

"Send him over immediately."

After a while, Cheng Lian arrived covered in blood.

"The last general, Cheng Lian, pays homage to General Qin, and begs General Qin to send troops immediately to capture Xiaopei and save my eldest lady and wives."

Ying Wu frowned, and asked: "Cheng Lian, explain the whole story clearly."

"Here." Cheng Lian responded, and then gave a general account of the changes in Xiaopei City.

Ying Wu heard this, and couldn't help being surprised: "Lv Bu was shot by Liu Bei and Chen Gong?"

Cheng Lian hurriedly said: "Back to General Qin, that's exactly what happened."

"When Wen Yuan heard the news, he made a decisive decision and burned the food and grass to stop Liu Bei's solicitation."

"In the current situation in Xiaopei City, our army has only [-] people, while Liu Bei's army has [-] people, and Zhang Zhiyong is even more concerned."

"Wen Yuan can only shrink his troops to protect the safety of the two wives and the eldest lady."

"Wen Yuan asked the last general to go out of the city to seek help from General Qin. If the general is willing to send reinforcements, the last general will serve under General Qin's account."

This is the case.

Yingwu squinted his eyes, looked at Xiaopei city still illuminated by the fire, and said without hesitation, "Wang Jian, send an order to reorganize the army immediately and send troops to Xiaopei."

Wang Jian was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you must be careful, this is..."

Before Wang Jian could finish speaking, Ying Wu waved his hand: "Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao are both loyal people."

"Then Liu Bei is a hypocritical and shameless person, and Chen Gong is a disaster at both ends."

"Lü Bu was once humiliated by Yuan Shao, and he will never go there again."

"Cao Cao and Lu Bu have a deep hatred, how can Lu Bu vote for Cao Cao?"

"So, Lu Bu has no choice but to go south to Huainan and join Yuan Shu."

"As for Liu Bei, who claims to be a clan member of the Han family, if he goes south with Lu Bu, his previous reputation will be ruined. This is not what he wants."

"With Chen Gong's character, he wouldn't abandon the Han family to become a thief. It is inevitable that these two people will collude and kill Lu Bu."

"Therefore, this matter will definitely not be false."

"Take Xiaopei and capture and kill Liu Bei, just tonight."

Wang Jian was also suspicious, and he responded, and hurried to summon soldiers and horses.

Not long after, Wang Jian assembled three thousand black armored troops.

This is the main force of Yingwu.

Although there are only three thousand, it can stop an army of ten thousand.

Therefore, Ying Wu personally led the army, with Zhao Yun, Wang Ben, and Cheng Lian as generals, and killed Xiaopei.

When entering the city, there was no obstacle.

The sergeants guarding the city have all been transferred away.

Entering the city, there was no ambush as expected, the army rushed all the way to the county government.

The fierce battle in the county government is going on.

Guan Yu's attempt to surrender was a complete failure, and Zhang Liao cursed Liu Bei and Guan Yu instead.

This annoyed Guan Yu, so he went into battle himself and fought Zhang Liao.

Then Zhang Fei came on the field and was stopped by Wei Xu.

Zhang Liao is barely the opponent of Guan Yu, but Wei Xu is even more not the opponent of Zhang Fei.

In desperation, Cao Xing had no choice but to step forward, together with Wei Xu, to attack Zhang Fei.

But even so, Zhang Fei couldn't be stopped.

Gao Shun entered the field, and the three attacked Zhang Fei together, and the battle was barely tied.

But after dozens of rounds, Zhang Liao couldn't stand it anymore.

With no generals to send, Lu Lingqi went into battle immediately, and together with Zhang Liao, they fought against Guan Yu and won the battle again.

Seeing this, Chen Gong said to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, the opponent has no generals to send, and the battle has reached a balance point."

"If Duke Xuande makes a move, Zhang Liao and the others will undoubtedly be defeated."

"Cheng Lian is missing, he probably went out of the city to seek help from Qin Wu."

"Once the Qin army arrives, our army will have no chance."

Liu Bei was startled, and immediately waved his double-pronged swords and galloped forward to help Guan Yu.

In this way, the pressure on Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi was great, and they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

After more than a dozen rounds, when Zhang Liao couldn't hold on anymore and his injuries were getting worse, the shouts of killing finally sounded.

Chen Gong sighed slightly: "After all, it's still a step too late."

Liu Bei also heard it, and he, who was always good at running away, had no hesitation, and immediately steered his horse away from the battle group: "Yun Chang, Yi De, retreat quickly."

Zhang Liao was so angry that he finally broke out, and shouted: "Son Liu Bei, save your life."

At this moment, Liu Bei regretted it to death.

If I knew this earlier, I really shouldn't waste time here.

Zhang Liao and others couldn't get entangled, and the Qin army was approaching again. Liu Bei's situation could be described as extremely dangerous.

At this moment, Zhang Fei yelled: "Big Brother, Second Brother, you go first, after I, Zhang Fei."
