Chapter 378: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
Su Zhe's expression moved slightly, but he didn't open his eyes, but just raised his hand and signaled Xu Chu to be restless.
Xu Chu was helpless, so he had to suppress his excitement, stood aside and didn't dare to squeak anymore, waiting for Su Zhe to continue listening to the music.
Su Zhe seemed unmoved, and continued to shake his head, savoring the graceful sound of this pair of Jiangdong Shuangshu and the ensemble of the qin and flute.
After a long time, the song ended.
Su Zhe opened his eyes at this time, clapped his hands and cheered: "Wonderful, really wonderful, even I, a person who doesn't know much about music, listened to it fascinated, it was really wonderful." ”
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were praised by Su Zhe, and the two sisters raised their thin lips, and they all showed relief and joy.
Da Qiao didn't say anything, but Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "General, if you like to listen to it, Sister A and I can often give you an ensemble in the future." ”
"Really?"
"That's still fake."
Su Zhe laughed and said: "Being able to drink fine wine and enjoy the beauty of the piano and the dong flute is really a great joy in life, hurry, hurry." ”
The laughter stopped abruptly, but Su Zhe sighed: "It's a pity that I am about to lead the army to the battle now, and I don't know when I will be able to enjoy your sisters' piano and flute ensemble again." ”
"What, is the general going far away?" Xiao Qiaoqiao's face was blank, and her eyes seemed to show a little reluctance.
Da Qiao said: "I heard this General Xu say that Liu Bei ran away, could it be that the general plans to take advantage of the situation to pursue and take Xuzhou in one fell swoop?" ”
Su Zhe's heart moved, and when he looked at Da Qiao's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little different.
I didn't expect Da Qiao to be able to judge his next strategy from Xu Chu's few words, it seems that this Jiangdong beauty is not only a good-looking vase, but also quite insightful.
"Yes, Liu Bei retreated, Xuzhou will definitely be in chaos, this is a good opportunity given to me by God to take Xuzhou, how can I miss it." Su Zhe admitted calmly.
Da Qiao took a few steps forward, saluted Su Zhefu, and said: "My sister can't help the general, so I can only pray here that the general will go to triumph and play, conquer everything, be invincible, and succeed." ”
"Yes, yes, I also wish the general success, you will definitely do it." Xiao Qiao was busy and blessed, and echoed the way.
Su Zhe said happily: "Okay, good, accept the auspicious words of your two sisters, I will definitely succeed in this battle, and when he triumphs, I will listen to the ensemble of the two of you and the flute!" ”
With that, Su Zhe laughed, turned around and strode out.
The two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, were sent to the door, watching Su Zhe go away, and their starry eyes flashed with a little reluctance.
……
Two days later, Su Zhe led an army of 40,000 to leave Shouchun, marched eastward along the Huaishui River, and successively recovered Zhongli, Xuyi and other Huainan cities abandoned by Liu Bei.
On the day of the recovery of Xuyi City, Su Zhe received a message from Xuzhou, confirming Pang Tong's previous speculation:
Lu Bu really raised an army, defeated Zhang Fei, and succeeded in a sneak attack on Xiapi, taking Liu Bei's lair in one fell swoop.
After learning the news, Su Zhe was even more decisive that Liu Bei must have no choice but to withdraw his troops, and hurried to recover Xiapi City.
Su Zhe immediately led the army north along Surabaya, followed Liu Bei for a hundred miles, drove straight in, and went deep into Xuzhou.
Seven days later, Su Zhe conquered Xiaxiang City, the last barrier in the south of Xiapi City.
After capturing the city, Su Zhe stopped the pursuit and ordered the 40,000 troops to rest on the spot, preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
He didn't have to chase any further.
Liu Bei wants to attack Xiapi with all his might, and Lu Bu wants to desperately defend Xiapi, what reason does Su Zhe have not to make room for these two difficult brothers, so that they can rest assured and boldly fight to the death, no matter who loses or wins, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Then, Su Zhe swaggered forward to clean up the mess, isn't it the best solution for him.
All Su Zhe has to do now is to hold a parasol at the head of Xiaxiang City, blow the wind, drink a little wine, and sit and wait for Lu Bu and Liu Bei to hurt each other and separate a male and female.
……
Hundreds of miles away, south of Pi City.
Above the head of the city, a big banner with the word "Lu" flew dazzlingly.
Lu Bu's halberd stood proudly at the head of the city, and his knife-like face once again burned with the domineering arrogance of the world's number one general.
He looked down at Liu Bei, who was pressed by the black outside the city, and looked at it with disdain as if he were a mustard, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "Liu Da'er, do you think that I, Lu Bu, will succumb to the feet of you, a weaver and a trader, dream of you!" ”
Gao Shun beside him frowned and said: "Wenhou, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are three times that of ours, and this battle should not be underestimated." ”
Lu Bu's expression was still disdainful, his eyes looked at the young man in Confucian clothes on the other side, and asked, "Chen Yuanlong, how are you preparing?" ”
Chen Deng hurriedly arched his hand: "Back to Wenhou, everything is ready, just wait for Wenhou's order." ”
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, looked out of the city again, and said coldly: "Very good, if Liu Bei dares to attack the city, I will let him see my methods, and it will be too late for Benhou to make him cry." ”
Outside the city.
30,000 soldiers of Liu were arrayed in the south of Xiapi City, although the number was large and the formation looked terrifying, but each soldier had the word anxiety written on his face.
The reason is very simple, because most of them are from Xuzhou, and many of them are from Xiapi, and now that their hometown has been taken away, their wives and children are trapped in the city, so it is strange that they can not be anxious.
Liu Bei looked at the city from afar, and the big banner with the word "Lu" made him more and more disgusted.
"Yide, look at the good things you have done, if you can defend Xiapi, why did you force us to such a situation." Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei, full of complaints.
Zhang Fei was ashamed, gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, it's all my fault, you give the order, I will definitely take back Xiapicheng for you, I will personally twist the head of Lu Bu's three family slaves!" ”
Liu Bei did not reproach Zhang Fei, but said happily: "Okay! Yide, for your brother, I will give you a chance to take revenge, how Lu Bu took Xiapi from your hands, you will give your brother how to take it back! ”
"Big brother, just look at it, I won't disappoint you this time!"
Zhang Fei got the order, the fighting spirit was wild, and the horse galloped away, reaching the front army formation.
He pointed his eight snake spears at the head of Pi City, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, give Lao Tzu to break through Xia Bu Pi, whoever is the first to climb the head of Xia Pi City, there will be a heavy reward, whoever can cut off Lu Bu's dog head, double the reward!" ”
When the order was handed down, the soldiers and soldiers of Liu, who were originally uneasy, barely cheered up, brandished their weapons and shouted in response.
The drums of war sounded.
Zhang Fei rode out first, and thousands of Liu troops burst into formation, and groups of military formations overwhelmingly pushed up towards the south gate of Xiapi.
The siege is only in the blink of an eye.
At the head of the city, Lu Bu was disdainful, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, he waved his halberd, and shouted: "Chen Yuanlong, let those guys catch up with Benhou." ”
Chen Deng hurriedly explained a few words to the left and right.
A moment later, the sound of crying sounded in the city, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of old and weak women and children were driven to the city.
