In this ambush battle, Yuan's army had an absolute advantage.

Even though it is raining heavily now, even though Liu Bei's reinforcements have arrived. But before Wen Zhao and the others finished clearing the obstacles on the road, Yuan Shu still had enough time to let people shoot Liu Bei and the others with arrows.

However, a sudden winter thunderstorm and this pouring rain made Yuan Shu feel a little frightened.

On the way out, Yuan Shu secretly thought: "Could it be that God is innocent and cares for Chen Xu and the others?" ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu was a little panicked in his heart, and even had the idea of withdrawing his troops.

At the same time, Wen Zhao had also led his subordinates to the outside of this narrow mountain road. Through the pouring rain, he looked at the blocked road in front of him, and his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.

"Could it be that Liu Bei is really destined by heaven, and even God is helping him?"

After learning that Liu Bei's three brothers were surrounded, for a moment, Wen Zhao didn't even want to bring troops to the rescue.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Liu Bei is just a well-known figure. But Wen Zhao, who came from later generations, knew that this person was by no means a thing in the pool.

His incomparable personal charm and indomitable character are definitely an extremely beautiful landscape among the princes of the late Han Dynasty.

As long as he is given a chance, Liu Bei will become a powerful hero and a fierce opponent of Wen Zhao. It was with these in mind that Wen Zhao hoped that he would be able to die in ambush.

However, thinking of this period of time, Liu Bei left a good impression on him, thinking of the rough and bold Zhang Fei, and thinking of Guan Yu of the righteous Bo Yuntian.

Wen Zhao suddenly felt that if the three of them really died here, the history of the late Han Dynasty would definitely be overshadowed a lot.

And Wen Zhao himself couldn't cross the hurdle in his heart.

Not only that, the generals under Wen Zhao did not know Liu Bei's ambitions. In their eyes, the three Liu Bei brothers are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are worthy of befriending.

Therefore, after knowing that the three of them were ambushed, many generals asked Wen Zhao to fight, hoping to lead the troops to the rescue.

In any case, the current Liu Bei and the three are still nominally Wen Zhao's subordinates. If he categorically refused the generals' request to send troops to rescue Liu Bei, I am afraid that it would make the generals under his command feel cold.

Because of the trouble of Liu Bei alone, it is not the work of a wise man to make everyone under his command centrifuge.

What's more, the current Wen Zhao, whether in terms of fame or power, far surpasses Liu Bei.

If he is still jealous of Liu Bei, who has achieved nothing, then what should he do to Cao Cao in the future, who has suppressed Liu Bei in history?

Only when there is no fear in the heart can great things be achieved. If you don't have the ambition to level the four seas, swallow the universe, and don't have the extraordinary mind and courage, it will be difficult to truly achieve hegemony.

It was for various reasons that Wen Zhao finally decided to lead the troops back and rescue Liu Bei and the others.

However, as soon as he led his troops back and approached the ambush covered in fire and smoke, he heard winter thunder and encountered heavy rain.

This year's winter has been exceptionally long and the weather has been exceptionally cold.

The cold rain drips on the body, even if it is as strong as Wen Zhao, it feels cold.

He shuddered, looked at the people who were shrouded in heavy rain, and retracted his thoughts, as if he remembered something, but his heart was extremely anxious.

He hurriedly shouted: "You guys help clear the obstacles on the road first, and rescue Xuande and the others as soon as possible." Hugh had to delay here too much so that he would not get sick. ”

Yes, Wen Zhao was afraid that the generals and these soldiers would have a fever and illness after being drenched in heavy rain.

In this era, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, and you can't give injections and water infusions. Sometimes it can be a high fever that can take people's lives.

If there are too many soldiers who catch a cold, it is also likely to cause infection and bring plague.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the enemies of the princes were not only the rest of the forces, but also natural and man-made disasters, as well as distorting plagues.

After the order went down, Wen Zhao personally stepped forward to carry the stones, and Zhao Yun hurriedly came to advise: "Lord, I can do this kind of thing later, you better go to the bottom of the big tree to take shelter from the rain first." ”

Wen Zhao said: "If I don't lead by example, who will do my best?" ”

After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhao Yun, but in the pouring rain, he desperately carried the stones on the road.

Zhao Yun saw that he couldn't persuade Wen Zhao, so he immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The lord is still doing it himself, how can I be lazy?" ”

After finishing speaking, he also came to Wen Zhao's side, picked up a big stone alone, and moved to the rest of the place.

Dian Wei also showed no weakness, aimed at a boulder of more than 300 catties, stepped forward to pick it up, and moved the boulder away without changing his face.

Wen Zhao saw the secret tongue, and thought in his heart: "If you go to the next life, with Awei's strength, even if you move bricks, you can make a lot of money every day, right?" ”

Sergeant Chen, seeing that his lord and several generals are all doing it himself, where can they be lazy?

Everyone worked together, and it didn't take long for all the rocks blocking the road to be removed. At this time, the sudden heavy rain suddenly stopped.

Liu Bei, who was slightly burned, looked at the person covered in mud in front of him, and almost didn't recognize him as the general Chen Xu.

Seeing that Liu Bei and the three of them were all fine, Wen Zhao's mood was a little complicated. But there was still a big smile on his face.

Wen Zhao took a step forward, held Liu Bei's hands tightly, and asked with concern, "Has Xuande ever been injured?" ”

"It's okay to be prepared, but why is the general like this?"

Wen Zhao held Liu Bei's hands, left two big black handprints on the back of his hands, and immediately said with some embarrassment: "I am worried about the three of Xuande, so I personally carried the soil and stones, so that there was some mud on my body." ”

"Don't blame Xuande for soiling his hands."

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately said gratefully: "The general's concern and love will definitely be remembered for life." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also a little moved, and they stepped forward to thank them.

Wen Zhao looked at Guan Yu, whose beard was a little burnt, and immediately said to him: "Yun Chang's beautiful hair is scorched in some places, when I return to the city, I will ask someone to help Yun Chang repair it, and then order someone to make a sachet to protect it." ”

"Otherwise, it's a pity that Yun Chang's beautiful hair is a pity."

In addition to Liu Bei, which prince in the world has been so concerned about Guan Yu, who was born poor and has no reputation?

He is a person with clear grievances, and when he heard Wen Zhao's words, he immediately bowed down and saluted: "The general is loved, Guan Yu is ashamed of it." ”

Wen Zhao wiped the mud on his body a few times, stepped forward to support Guan Yu's arms, and said, "Yun Chang's appearance is extraordinary, his bravery is outstanding, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool. ”

"When I first met Yun Chang, I immediately fell in love with him, and I hated to talk to Yun Chang every day......

"Ahh

Wen Zhao, who was enveloping Guan Yu, had just said a few words, suddenly let go of Guan Yu's hand, turned his head and sneezed.

It was only then that he felt a chill rush over him.

When the generals saw Wen Zhao sneezing, their faces immediately changed, and they persuaded: "Lord, I'd better go back to the city first, change into dry clothes, and then talk about anything else." ”

Liu Bei and the three of them also showed concern and gave advice.

Wen Zhao laughed twice and said, "I just saw that the three of Xuande were fine, so I was a little excited. What you said was that it would be better for me to go back to the city first. ”

"Ahh

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhao sneezed again.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. However, Yuan Shu was terrified, and after retreating to the camp with the army, he was sullen all the time.

Suddenly, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the sergeants of the army are drenched in heavy rain, many people have not changed their clothes, they are sick and fainting, and I hope Your Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Shu Huo Ran got up and said, "Let people cut down trees, build fires to keep warm, and dry clothes." In addition, let Chen Lan lead the troops to arrest all the medical workers in the nearby city, and let them treat the sick soldiers. ”

After the man was ordered to leave, Yuan Shu secretly thought in his heart: "Yan Xiang and Yang Hong are the most resourceful people under my command. Both of them tried their best to persuade me to withdraw from the army, which shows that this battle really cannot be continued. ”

The disadvantage of the teacher, as well as the winter thunder, coupled with the weird and inexplicable pouring rain, made Yuan Shu feel cowardly in his heart.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu asked Yan Xiang and Yang Hong to summon them and prepare to discuss with them about the withdrawal of the army.

At this time, Yan Xiang stayed in his tent, with a decadent look on his face and his eyes were also gloomy.

Ever since he was scolded by Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang felt ashamed and embarrassed, hiding in the tent every day, not daring to go out to meet people.

Although Yuan Shu's words were a bit excessive, they were not unreasonable. If he did not heed Yan Xiang's strategy and failed, the responsibility was not on Yan Xiang.

But some time ago, Yuan Shu obeyed Yan Xiangyan's words, but he was repeatedly frustrated. Even though there was no major defeat, it also showed that Yan Xiang's resourcefulness was not as good as the strategists under Chen Xu's command.

This is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to Yan Xiang, who has always boasted of being a self-conceived person.

Coupled with the trust of Yuan Shu, which he had also lost now, for a while, Yan Xiang was actually a little disheartened.

"I am ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty, and I have no shame to stay here anymore, so I have to resign to Your Majesty."

Yan Xiang just had this thought, and suddenly heard some noise outside the tent, and only heard a voice sound: "Lord Yan, Your Majesty has invited you to the big tent to discuss matters." ”

Yan Xiang, who was disheartened, suddenly heard this voice and was stunned.

Then, he was overjoyed, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and went out with the heralds to rush to Yuan Shu's tent.

When Yan Xiang arrived, he found that Yang Hong was already sitting in the lower position.

When Yuan Shu saw him coming, he immediately got up to greet him and said, "I didn't hear your good words before, which caused the attack on Xuanyuan Pass to be frustrated. The two of you have been summoned this time to discuss the withdrawal of the army. ”

But he didn't want to, after Yan Xiang heard Yuan Shu's words, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not withdraw at this time!" ”
