With only five hundred people, Wei Yan dragged down the pace of two thousand Jingzhou cavalry, Wei Yan saw that the Jingzhou cavalry was so weak, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sneer, after entering the Bingzhou army, he unconsciously improved his vision a lot.

After Cai Mao got the news on the battlefield, he was anxious, and hurriedly sent Wen Ping to lead 500 cavalry to support, this time there were 100 thunderbolts into the battle, if they were damaged, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Jingzhou army to attack Jiguan, and no general dared to ignore the role of thunderbolts on such a battlefield.

Thunderbolts are not only used to siege cities, but also to defend them.

Seeing that the thunderbolt was damaged, Wei Yan gave an order, and the flying cavalry headed towards Huguan, Wen Ping led the cavalry to rush for a while, and withdrew to the army, and the thunderbolt on the pass began to attack outside the city again after Wei Yan led the flying cavalry into the pass.

After Wei Yan stirred up such a peace, the thunderbolt outside the pass was still the slightest threat to Jiguan.

The defenders on the pass erupted in loud cheers, and the weakness of the Jingzhou army made their confidence high.

In desperation, Cai Mao had no choice but to order Mingjin to temporarily withdraw his troops, if he could not suppress the Bingzhou army in terms of cavalry strength, he would always be on guard against flying cavalry from within the city when attacking Jiguan.

"General Cai, the elite of the flying cavalry, the world knows, just a thousand flying cavalry, can contain more than 2,000 Jingzhou cavalry, this strength can not be underestimated, I once heard that Liu Bei has two fierce generals, both have the courage of ten thousand people, and now Liu Bei has just returned to the army, if he can borrow one, he may not be able to block the state army." Kuai Yue Road.

Cai Mao's eyes lit up when he heard this, when he asked Liu Bei to support Cao Cao, he didn't have any good intentions, what shocked Cai Mao was that Liu Guanzhang and the three were able to defeat Lu Bu, this matter has spread among the princes' army, and ordinary soldiers also have a trace of respect for Liu Guanzhang.

"Okay, just use the words of Lord Kuai to come and invite the three Liu Bei brothers." Cai Mao said.

After returning to the army outside Keiguan, Liu Bei behaved unusually low-key, he only had 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and on a battlefield like Keiguan, 3,000 people were put into the battlefield, I am afraid that they would not even be able to make waves.

"Lord, now that the Jingzhou army has suffered repeated setbacks outside Jiguan, I'm afraid Cai Mao will let the lord take action." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei looked worried, these 3,000 people can be said to be the foundation of his life in the Jingzhou army" Kong Ming, what can I do? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The lord doesn't need to worry, with the bravery of the second and third generals, why can't you kill the generals and capture the flag on the battlefield." ”

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and then understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, this is the best moment to improve the influence of his three in the Jingzhou army, and now the Jingzhou army is in danger, if it is because of his three brothers, let the Jingzhou army gain an advantage, then his status in the Jingzhou army will be higher.

If you want to enter Jingzhou, the most important thing is to be able to control the army, otherwise if you don't have military power in your hands, it is not easy to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou's army has always been in the hands of the Cai family and the Kuai family, and the opportunity is rare.

The battle against Lu Bu has greatly improved the reputation of the three of them, as long as they can win the respect of the generals of the Jingzhou Army, take advantage of the situation to win over so many people, plus Zhuge Liang's means, why can't he take the Jingzhou Army as his own.

In front of the Bingzhou Army, the Jingzhou Army may not be like this, but in Liu Bei's eyes, if he can get the Jingzhou Army, it will be the beginning of his great cause to start again.

"Kong Ming's words are very true." Liu Bei nodded.

The voice fell, Zhang Fei angrily broke in, "Big brother, that Cai Mao is so rude, the three of us brothers supported Huguan and defeated Lu Bu, that Cao Cao still has a reward, but when he returns to the army, there is nothing, and now the war outside Jiguan is tight, but Cai Mao thinks of us and others." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Yide's temperament is still so reckless, as expected, General Cai's invitation this time must be because of the reward." ”

The big tent of the Chinese army, Cai Mao heard that Liu Bei was coming, and hurriedly went out of the tent to greet him, at this time the Jingzhou army was able to block the generals of the Bingzhou army by force, but there was no, and when the cavalry charged, the bravery of the generals would affect the direction of a war on a certain crossing, and now the lack of soldiers in the Jingzhou army is not a soldier, but a general who can take charge alone.

"Liu Yuanjun came, but he couldn't welcome him from afar, so don't blame him." Cai Mao arched his hand.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "General Cai is the chief general of the army, how can he be prepared, and General Lao is like this." ”

Seeing Liu Bei's respectful attitude and Cai Mao's smile, what he was most worried about was that Liu Bei relied on his own merits and didn't know what he was doing.

After taking a seat, Cai Mao said: "A few days ago, the army was busy with affairs, Liu Zhijun supported Huguan and made great contributions, but he did not have time to reward, Liu Zhijun defeated Lu Bu, which greatly boosted the morale of our army. "Speaking of three hundred war horses, he is also a little painful, now after the war with the Bingzhou army, it is impossible to get war horses from the state, but Ma Teng has the intention of taking refuge in Jingzhou to support hundreds of war horses in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Thank you, General Cai." ”

"Liu Yuanjun may have heard that today's war is a little unfavorable to the Jingzhou army, there are fierce generals such as Zhao Yun and Wei Yan in Jiguan, and yesterday Wei Yan led the cavalry to burn eighty percent of our thunderbolts." Cai Mao changed her words.

Liu Bei said: "Although there are only 3,000 people under the command, it is within the responsibility of the courtiers to obey the general's dispatch and defeat the traitors. ”

Cai Mao laughed when he heard this: "Liu Envoy Jun can have this heart, it is the luck of the Han Dynasty, the cavalry in the army, can be allocated to the envoy 2,000, mainly to guard against the cavalry in the city, I don't know what the envoy wants?" ”

Liu Bei secretly rejoiced in his heart, the cavalry in the Jingzhou army was only 5,000 people, and he could get 2,000 cavalry at a time, as long as he could hold these 2,000 cavalry tightly in his hands, he would have the foundation to settle down in Jingzhou." ”

"Okay, Liu Yuanjun will go back to the army to prepare first, tomorrow our army will attack Jiguan again." Cai Mao said.

Looking at Liu Bei's departing figure, Kuai Yue said worriedly: "General, Liu Bei is not an ordinary person, if he has another 2,000 cavalry, it will definitely be troublesome to return to Jingzhou in the future." ”

Cai Mao said with a smile: "It's okay, if Liu Bei's division is divided, General Ben will let him return to Jingzhou, otherwise, he will stay in Jiguan forever." ”

After General Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Cai Mao and Kuai Yue have less conspiratory, and then the lord can act like this." Then Zhuge Liang whispered, and Liu Bei nodded again and again.
