Ganyu County was breached, Tao Ying died, Ximen Qing and Wang Ying did not dare to escape for their lives, and fled back to Tancheng from Ganyu City in a panic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, it was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Deng Yuanjue who withdrew to Tancheng.
Ximen Qing and Wang Ying told Tao Ying about it, saying that they were attacked by Qingzhou's sailors. Both of them resisted desperately, but there were too many Qingzhou soldiers to stop them. failed to keep Tao Ying, so he specially ran back to Tancheng to report the news.
After listening to Ximenqing's words, Liu Bei was overjoyed, the Tao family was dead, and there was no shadow of his predecessor Xuzhou Mu in Xuzhou, which was beneficial to him. Not enough, but his face sank, he pointed with his big hand, and shouted angrily: "Hmph, you two are Tao County's henchmen, you can't protect your master, and now you dare to come back." Are you just trying to escape for your life and abandon Tao County's order to escape! ”
This is really a bit wronged Ximen Qing and Wang Ying, when they ran away, they pulled Tao Ying and fought with Ruan Xiaoqi, but they were not their opponents.
Wang Ying hurriedly screamed: "Liu Zhoumu, this is really wronged, the two of us are desperately trying to save Tao Gongzi." Who knows that there are tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, and the two of us have four arms, how can we stop it. ”
Ximenqing rolled his eyes, pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, stepped forward and said: "Liu Yuanjun, we can't beat the Qingbing with few people, I wanted to kill him a few more Qingzhou soldiers to avenge Tao Gongzi." It's just that I'm afraid that no one will come to report the news, so that the Qingzhou thieves will come and attack Tancheng, so I left this cheap life. ”
What kind of person is Liu Bei, he saw the essence of Ximenqing at a glance, and said disdainfully: "I heard that the two of you are doing evil in Ganyu, and the people are constantly complaining!" Someone pulled these two thieves out and beheaded them! ”
This Liu Beiyi didn't like the obscenity of Ximen Qing and Wang Ying, and came; Second, because they are Tao Ying's people, it is useless to keep them, and they may be a scourge.
As soon as Liu Bei said this, Ximenqing and Wang Ying were so frightened that they almost peed their pants directly.
Wang Ying secretly gritted his teeth, ready to resist and run away when the pawn came to him to go out, anyway, he couldn't be caught.
Ximenqing hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Liu Zhoumu spares his life, this is all some rumors and rumors, how dare the villain." The Qingzhou soldiers killed Tao Gongzi, and the villain must avenge him. Please also ask the lord to give him a chance, so that the villain has a chance to die on the battlefield. ”
At this time, four Liu Bei's personal guards came in, and they were about to pull out Ximenqing and Wang Ying, and there was only the cry of Ximenqing and Wang Ying begging for mercy in the hall, Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Wu Yong and others were very disdainful at all, and they didn't come out to plead at all.
But Song Jiang thought secretly on the side: "There are not many people around me who can be used, and these two people also have some skills, why don't I protect them." ”
"Wait, lord, please listen to Song Jiang's words. Now that the Qingzhou soldiers are attacking, why not let them make meritorious contributions. Song Jiang finally came forward to protect Ximen Qing and Wang Ying, said loudly to everyone, and then approached Liu Bei and whispered.
"The lord, Ximen Qing and Wang Ying are Tao Ying's people, and now that Tao Ying has just died, the lord will execute the two of them. There is that fool who thinks that the lord can't tolerate people, which is not good for the lord's reputation. Song Jiang arched his hand and said.
"Spare your life!"
Liu Bei thought about it, originally he was mainly looking at them unpleasantly, two little people, he really didn't care about it.
"Let them go, you two listen to people, now it is the opportunity of the war in Xuzhou, and there is Gongming to intercede for the two of you, and the right to spare you two. Let the two of you make meritorious contributions. Liu Bei waved his hand and let the two of them go.
Ximen Qing and Wang Ying picked up a life, staggered and ran to Liu Bei to bow: "The villain bows to Liu Zhoumu, thank you Zhou Mu for not killing." ”
Then he bowed to Song Jiang gratefully, and then ran to the corner, and from this moment on, Ximen Qing and Wang Ying switched to Song Jiang again. Because Ximen Qing and Wang Ying found that among the people present, only Song Jiang looked up to the two of them, and they didn't mix with Song Jiang or anyone.
……
Ximen Qing and Wang Ying This is just a small matter, and the news they brought is mainly that the soldiers and horses of the Third Route of Qingzhou sent troops to invade other counties in Donghai County.
Liu Bei's face was heavy, he looked around, and said: "Now the Qingzhou soldiers Wang Jin Yi Yi and Shi Bao Yi Yi have converged to attack our Tancheng. Then what Ruan Xiaoqi's sailors attacked the eastern county, what do you think? ”
Guan Yu stroked his long hair, and said with a murderous aura: "Big brother, let me lead the army all the way to directly send troops to exterminate that guy!" ”
Song Jiang objected: "Outside the city, Wang Jin and Shi Baojun are the main force of the Qingzhou soldiers, and they must first defeat this army, as long as the siege is lifted all the way." The Eastern Sailor is just a minor illness. Reinforcements from the three southern counties can be summoned to defeat the army outside the city. ”
Today's main soldiers and horses in Guangling County belong to the Chen family, and this Chen Deng immediately stood up and said: "My lord, now I have Yuan Shu in the south of Xuzhou and Luo Gan in the north, and the situation is very unfavorable to my Xuzhou. Only a part of the troops and horses can be dispatched to help, not all, such as Guangling County to guard against Sun Ce and others. The most important thing is to ask for help, on the one hand, he sent people to Jingzhou to beg Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu from behind, and on the other hand, he sent people to Jeju to ask Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Qingzhou. ”
Mi Zhu nodded, echoed Chen Deng's suggestion, and took the initiative to say, "I am willing to go to Yuan Shao for help." ”
Liu Bei's fellow countryman Jian Yong also came out and said: "My lord, I will be able to persuade Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to send troops and force Yuan Shu to withdraw from the army." ”
Liu Bei clasped his hands together, thought for a moment, nodded and ordered: "Okay, Xianhe sent an envoy to Jingzhou, Zizhong sent an envoy to Jizhou, and I hope you will invite rescuers as soon as possible." ”
"Yun Chang, you lead the troops to guard the west gate, General Cao Bao guards the south gate, General Zang Ba guards the north gate, and Yuan Long guards the east gate. Song Jiang led his troops to patrol the city. The third brother and General Deng should go and rest separately. Liu Bei arranged for everyone.
"No."
"Yes!
"Command."
The names of those who were called came out to promise, Guan Yu said arrogantly: "Big brother, why wait for reinforcements, I will lead the army to defeat Wang Jin and Shi Bao first, and then transfer troops and horses to destroy those sailors, and finally go south to repel Ji Ling." Xuzhou can be insured, so you don't have to wait for reinforcements. ”
However, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Deng Yuanjue led the army to kill before, and they did defeat Wang Jin, and also beheaded Chen Da and Yang Chun, which was also very majestic. But in the end, Shi Bao killed, and the meteor hammer injured Zhang Fei and Deng Yuanjue, and the two armies retreated regardless of victory or defeat.
Guan Yu is sending troops, which is very risky, and if he doesn't defeat the Qingzhou soldiers, Tancheng will be lost first. Liu Bei hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's better to wait for Yuan Shao and Liu Biao to send troops, and they will definitely be able to force back two strong enemies, so let's take care of the city and disperse." ”
"Yes!" Guan Yu was not good at refuting Liu Bei's words.
Everyone retreated, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong packed up and sent envoys to Jingzhou and Jizhou, and Guan Yu, Chen Deng, Zang Ba, and Cao Bao each guarded the city gate.
