Zhang Ren handed over the letter to the public and circulated it.

Ling Bao looked at it and said: "It's just a pity that Liu Bei doesn't trust Brother Yang Huai very much, this letter was still sent with great difficulty, and he can't agree with us on how to deal with Liu Bei, which is a bit troublesome." ”

"It's not a defense!" Zhang Ren waved his hand and said: "It is easy to have an accident if you set a plan in the letter, if Liu Bei is aware of it, it is easy to plan it, and the specific plan is better to let the messenger pass it on!" ”

Zhang Ren then called the messenger in and advised: "Tomorrow I will lead my troops to challenge Liu Bei, Liu Bei has no brave and good generals, if he goes to war, I don't think he is the opponent of our army, when the time comes, let General Yang Huai see the opportunity to act, if he can defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop, it would be better." But if Liu Bei's strength is not as weak as he imagined, please General Yang Huai not act rashly, it is better to think long-term! ”

"No!" The messenger obeyed Zhang Ren's instructions and returned to Fucheng overnight.

After getting Zhang Ren's response, Liu Bei once again convened the generals to discuss the strategy to deal with Zhang Ren.

Fa Zheng offered a plan to Liu Bei: "Zhang Ren also thinks that the strength of our army is not strong, so that the lord can fight with Zhang Ren tomorrow, pretend to be invincible, and retreat into the city." Then General Yang can pretend to seize the city gate when our army is defeated, lure Zhang Ren's army into the city to chase and kill, and catch turtles in an urn! ”

Liu Bei immediately agreed and ordered: "Okay, just act according to filial piety, and the generals will ...... tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Ren raised a large army to cross Fushui and rushed to Fucheng to fight Liu Bei.

In order to avoid the army crossing the river, Liu Bei took the opportunity to attack it halfway, Zhang Ren first made the cavalry cross the river, lined up on the north bank to respond, and then made the sword and shield soldiers and archers cross the river to cover in formation, and finally the main army crossed the Fushui in turn.

The 30,000-strong army lined up on the shore before gradually advancing towards Fucheng.

Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others stood at the head of the city and looked at Zhang Ren's army from afar.

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "This Ren is really worthy of being a good general, 30,000 troops crossed the river, orderly, without panic, it is really flawless!" ”

Chen Zhi, who was close to Liu Bei on the side, reminded when he heard this: "If Zhang Ren can be captured alive today, the lord can concoct it according to law like subduing Yang Huai Gaopei, subduing Zhang Ren, and taking Shuzhong Junjie in the palm of his hand!" ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Ren's army, which was slowly advancing in formation, nodded and said, "Yes, such a talent, I am bound to win!" Take your troops out of the city! ”

Then the gate of Fucheng was opened, and Liu Bei also led the generals of Guanzhong out of the city.

The army lined up outside the moat under the city, waiting for Zhang Ren's army to arrive.

"Stop!" Zhang Renze's horse stood in front of the army, with a wave of his big hand, the 30,000 army immediately stopped, cavalry, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, archers, all arms cooperated tacitly, the speed of action was the same, and it was uniform when it stopped.

Liu Bei was looking at Zhang Ren's army array, and Zhang Ren was also looking at Liu Bei's army array.

Zhang Ren quietly looked at Liu Bei's military formation, and the general Liu Bi on the side said in a low voice: "General, there is something wrong with Liu Bei's formation!" ”

Liu Bi's status in the Yizhou army is not inferior to Zhang Ren, but when the troops are dispatched, there can only be one commander, because Zhang Ren made great contributions to resist Zhou Yu, so this time Liu Bei was dispatched, Zhang Ren was the commander, and Liu Bi was subordinate to Zhang Ren.

But Liu Bi's talent is not much less than Zhang Ren's.

Liu Bi pointed to the rear army of Liu Bei's army and said: "General, look, the military formation in front of Liu Bei's army is as immobile as a mountain, and the soldiers are lined up like a forest, all of them are majestic warriors. However, the rear army is mostly old and weak, and the ranks of soldiers are uneven, which is a flaw! ”

Zhang Ren groaned: "Liu Bei fought for half his life, and on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, there were still not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and it was not until he took Jingzhou that his strength increased greatly.

He put these soldiers with low combat effectiveness in the rear army, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, if it is an engagement, our army can send cavalry to break through Liu Bei's rear army to create chaos, so Liu Bei will be defeated! ”

Zhang Ren's general Ling Bao arched his hand and said: "The general knows the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses, but I don't know how his general is, and the last general is willing to give it a try!" ”

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "Go ahead!" Drumming Challenge! ”

"No!" Ling Bao ordered his horse to ride out and come to the front of the two armies with his spear.

In Zhang Ren's army, the soldiers also beat the war drums, and the majestic and heavy war drums resounded around Fucheng.

"I am Admiral Yizhou Ling Bao is also, who dares to come out and fight with me!"

Zhang Ren held a spear in his hand and pointed at Liu Beijun on the opposite side and shouted and cursed.

"How handsome Yizhou is, this life is so majestic, when he is a fierce general, which of you dares to fight Lingbao?" Liu Bei saw that Ling Bud was eight feet tall, and couldn't help but sigh at the number of handsome men in Yizhou, and looked at the generals on the left and right, looking for the generals who could fight Ling Bao.

"The last will go!" As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, a red-faced and long-bearded general rode out with a knife.

"Guan Yu?" When Ling Bao saw the coming, her face couldn't help but change slightly, and she felt a little drumming in her heart.

"I'm Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang is also!" Wei Yan saw that Ling Bao had mistaken himself for Guan Yu, so he couldn't help but be furious and reported his name.

"I thought Guan Yu was here, it turned out to be a nameless rat!"

Wei Yan's appearance is somewhat similar to Guan Yu, when he first went into battle, Ling Bao thought it was Guan Yu coming, but after a closer look, he knew that this was not Guan Yu, because Wei Yan is only in his thirties now, while Guan Yu is nearly fifty years old, and the age difference is more than a round.

Seeing that it was not Guan Yu, Ling Bao relieved his heart, and rode straight to Wei Yan to kill with a gun.

"Today is the time for me to make a name for myself!"

Wei Yan was also arrogant, and when he saw Ling Bao despising him, he couldn't help but be furious, and ran to kill Ling Bao with a knife.

The two horses intersected, Wei Yan's eyes widened angrily, a tiger roar erupted from his mouth, and the gold-backed machete in his hand was raised high, like Mount Tai pressing the top, and went straight to the top of Ling Bao's head.

Ling Bao didn't expect that Liu Bei didn't bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other generals on this trip, but there were masters like Wei Yan.

Ling Bao didn't dare to be careless, and with a backhand wave of the spear in his hand, he moved a thousand catties in four or two moves, and pushed Wei Yanjin's back machete aside.

The two horses staggered, and the two generals quickly pulled out their horses to fight, only to see a golden light flashing in the air, swords and guns intersecting, and the sound of gold and iron was endless. Ling Bao's moves changed with Wei Yan's changes, although Wei Yan was fierce, but under the hard fight, Ling Bao did not fall behind at all.

This Ling Bud is a Sichuan Shu fierce general, in the romance has fought with Wei Yan, fighting for dozens of rounds without winning or losing, and now this time and space two are fighting again, it is really a good talent, chess opponent.

In the Jingzhou military array, Huang Zhong saw this and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Wen Chang has an arrogant temperament, and he was mistaken for Yun Chang by Ling Bao, but he has a fighting spirit and has forgotten his previous advice. ”

"Is there a way to remind you?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Huang Zhong groaned slightly, and shouted loudly into the formation: "Wen Chang, don't keep attacking and save some physical strength, you will suffer if you continue like this!" ”

Wei Yan in the formation listened to Huang Zhong's words, and said secretly in his heart: "It's not good, I almost ruined the lord's big business!" ”

"I have to kill this guy today!" Wei Yan is also a shrewd person, and quickly came up with a way to deal with it, and a loud shout in his mouth was regarded as a response to Huang Zhong. However, the one move in his hand is not changed, the knife technique is sharp and fierce, and he still uses ferocious killing moves to attack Ling Bao.
