"Lord, there are two main reasons for this defeat, one is that Cao Cao is scheming, and he has already ambushed military horses around our army's camp. Second, Cao Cao invited a general, and the last general was not the enemy of this person's move, and was almost killed by this general. ”

In order to get rid of his own failure this time, Zhang He first told Cao Cao about Cao Cao's ambush of military horses, and concealed the fact that Cao Cao had many military horses. Let's talk about him being defeated by the generals sent by Cao Cao. Although, saying this may make Zhang He a little discouraged, but this is a fact that the whole army has seen, and it is not easy for Zhang He to say how heroic he is. However, saying this will make Yuan Shao more convinced, and it will also arouse Yuan Shao's curiosity, when Yuan Shao is clear, he will have a sense of fear of the general, so that he does not dare to rashly lead the army to White Horse City, so that the fact that he was defeated by Cao Cao's 50,000 horses can completely cover up the past.

Yuan Shao was really shocked and said: "Cao Cao is so good at planning? Who is the general, you say? Even Zhang He, you are not his enemy? I'm afraid that even if it's as strong as Lu Bu, Liu Yi and the like, it can't be done, right? ”

"My lord, this will be bare-faced and long-bearded, and make a big sword...... Well, and riding a fiery red war horse, it seems to ...... It seems that the horse is the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu rode at the beginning. Zhang He seemed to be trying to recall, and said to Yuan Shao: "This general is a single horse, directly into the big array of the last general, one person and one horse, rushing to kill in the last general's array, like riding the wind and waves, the last general tens of thousands of military horses, but it can't stop its work for a moment." He rushed straight to the last general, and the last general was about to face the battle. But he was able to suddenly rush in front of the last general dozens of steps away, and the big sword cut down like thunder. The last general at that time. He could only try his best to block, but he was defeated by one move, and even the last general's war horse was shocked to death by this person's bravery. Fortunately, the last general was with him, desperately trying to save the last general who was shot away by his people, and only then did he get back a small life, or else. The last general is afraid that he will never see the lord again, and he will no longer be able to serve the lord. ”

After Zhang He finished speaking, his face palpitated. and a little emotionally to Yuan Shao.

"How can this general defeat you in the midst of thousands of horses? Snow ......" Yuan Shao's expression changed, and he gasped in horror.

You must know that Zhang He is the first fierce general under his account in Yuan Shao's mind. Even this first fierce general is in the guard of thousands of horses. They were all struck by the enemy's blow and made such a miserable appearance. So who else in your own army can compete with this general? Fortunately, it's Zhang He, if it's him, then wouldn't it be difficult to resist even the fierce general's move? Isn't he just being killed?

As soon as Yuan Shao thought of this, he shivered ruthlessly.

It seems that White Horse City is really a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it is really not suitable for me to take risks.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao wanted to retreat a little, at least. Before figuring out who the fierce general was, before solving the fierce general. Yuan Shao really didn't dare to go to White Horse City again.

"So, do you know who that enemy general is?" Yuan Shao asked a little timidly.

"This ...... Let me think about it, I was hit by that general, and my head was still a little dizzy, huh...... It seems to ......"

"The lord, the general, before the enemy general broke into the camp, it seems that he reported his name, remember, he called himself Guan Yu, he sat on the mount, it seemed to be called the red rabbit horse, at that time, the last general still felt a little familiar, this red rabbit horse, isn't it the red rabbit horse of Lu Bu among the people and the red rabbit among the horses? That horse is Lu Bu's mount, but the person is not Lu Bu. A general next to him answered at this moment.

Zhang He's heart was happy, and secretly said Guan Yu, Guan Yu, it's not Zhang who wants to hurt your eldest brother Liu Bei, now it's not Zhang who said it, if you want to blame, it's only your own name, now, let Yuan Shao know that it's not Zhang's business to kill your eldest brother Liu Bei.

"Guan Yu? Who's this? How does it sound familiar? Yuan Shao said with a little doubt.

Well, don't be surprised, Liu Guanzhang's battle in Tiger Prison Pass has already become a beautiful talk of the people of the world, but it is not limited to people like Yuan Shao. Even if Liu Bei is in Yecheng now, Yuan Shao has not seriously faced Liu Bei from the grassroots in his heart, so although Guan Yu's name is already known to the world, Yuan Shao has never taken it to heart, so there will be such doubts.

"Lord, Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, Guan Yunchang." Behind Yuan Shao, a strategist stood up and said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao looked at it, but he was frustrated.

"Liu Bei's brother-in-law? Guan yu! ”

For no reason, Yuan Shao was furious in his heart, and said angrily: "What a Liu Bei, Yuan was kind enough to take him in, and he actually made his brother secretly help Cao Cao, causing Yuan to lose his army and lose his generals?" ”

"The lord guessed, it is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten, the lord can remember this Liu Bei is two-faced and three-stabbed, and when he tells the lord good things, he dares to yin the lord. In my opinion, if the lord wants to defeat Cao Cao, he must first destroy this ill-intentioned traitor. He suggested without hesitation.

In his heart, he hated Liu Bei for biting Tian Feng, and his friend Tian Feng was still in Yuan Shao's custody. Therefore, seeing that there is finally an opportunity to get rid of Liu Bei now, how can he miss it?

"Remove Liu Bei?" Yuan Shao was stunned, although he didn't care about Liu Bei's life or death, but he remembered that Liu Bei had the name of Uncle Liu Huang, and he killed Liu Bei, would this affect his reputation?

"Lord, you are so good to support Liu Bei in Yecheng, but what about him? but assassinated the lord behind his back. The lord should not forget that Liu Bei once voted for Cao Cao, but he turned against Cao Cao and took Cao Cao's Xuzhou. Now, the lord is leading the army to fight outside, in case Liu Bei does something behind us and causes civil strife in our rear, then how can the lord talk about destroying Cao? If Liu Bei doesn't kill, we will be unstable internally. Please think twice. Frustrated admonishment.

"Good!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said to the left and right: "The army will retreat to Liyang first, and then go back to Yecheng to kill Liu Bei, stabilize the interior, and then send troops to destroy Cao Cao!" ”

Yuan Shao seemed to have been persuaded by frustration with great difficulty, and ordered the army to turn around. In fact, in Yuan Shao's heart, he really wanted to hug Fu Zhi and kiss him a few times. Because, he heard Zhang He talk about the courage of the fierce general. His heart was really timid. I have long wanted to lead the army to turn around, and I will talk about it when I figure out the situation. Involved in danger for no reason, Yuan Shao really didn't want to.

Frustrated speech. Just gave Yuan Shao an excuse to lead the army back to his powerful territory.

Yuan Shao really didn't want to die before he left the school. Like him now, even if he doesn't wave his army to attack Cao Cao, he can be a king of peace according to Jizhou, and he has enjoyed endless wealth in his life, but whenever there is something dangerous, Yuan Shao doesn't want to risk his life. That's really not going to happen.

In this way, Yuan Shao's army of hundreds of thousands came in a mighty way. I went back in a big way, but when I came, my heart was high, and I came back. But a little depressed.

That day. Yuan Shao let the army be stationed in Liyang first, and his own army and Zhang He, Fu Zhu and other generals, Pegasus rushed back to Yecheng.

As soon as he arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao immediately sent someone to directly escort Liu Bei, and in the main hall of Yecheng, Yuan Shao was about to push Liu Bei out of Lu and behead him on the spot.

Liu Bei really doesn't know why Yuan Shao suddenly returned to Yecheng from the front line, let alone what happened to Guan Yu in Cao Cao's army.

Yuan Shaoyi returned to Yecheng. tied him up, and Liu Bei knew that something might have happened to Lu Dao. But. In terms of kung fu that is not shocked, Liu Bei is also quite outstanding. After so many changes, Liu Bei naturally would not be killed by Yuan Shao inexplicably.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao ordered someone to push Liu Bei out of the noon gate and behead him, Liu Bei said very calmly: "At the beginning, Liu Bei was desperate and came to meet him, but fortunately he was taken in at the beginning, and Liu Bei was grateful." Before, Liu Bei did not do a very authentic job in some things, and offended Ben Chu, so Ben Chu wanted to fight and kill, and Liu had no complaints in his heart. However, Liu knew that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the children of the Yuan family, all heroes, were open-minded and upright. Therefore, now I want to kill the next, it shouldn't be for the little things in the past. It seems that Liu Bei has done something wrong recently and offended Ben Chu, so he will let Ben Chu be killed. Liu Bei was stupid, thinking about it, but he couldn't think of what Liu Bei did wrong, which made Ben so angry. Hehe, I don't want to be a fool in the next life, I hope I can be smarter in the next life. So, can you please say that Ben Chu is going to kill Liu Bei for what reason he wants to kill Liu Bei now? ”

"Humph!"

Frustrated, he preemptively said: "Liu Bei! Don't you really know? The good deeds you did yourself made our army lose our troops, and our vanguard general Zhang He can only lie in bed to recuperate from his injuries now, and you still have the cheekiness to ask our lord why he killed you? ”

"I don't know! Liu Bei really doesn't know! Liu Bei listened to the frustrated question, and realized in his heart that it turned out that Yuan Shao had returned from defeat, and even Zhang He was injured. But what does this have to do with you? For this, Liu Bei didn't have a weak heart, he raised his head proudly, looked at Yuan Shao, stared at Yuan Shao and asked: "At the beginning, Liu Bei really didn't know, please make it clear to the public." ”

"This ......" Yuan Shao was also trying to observe Liu Bei, but to Yuan Shao's disappointment, this Liu Bei didn't have a trance flickering from beginning to end, and he really didn't seem to know anything about the front line.

This made Yuan Shao wonder if the things on the front line really had nothing to do with Liu Bei? You must know that Yuan Shao has always been an indecisive person who does not have much assertiveness. Therefore, he was suspicious in his heart, so he told Liu Bei that Guan Yu almost killed Zhang He.

When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed.

He said to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong is afraid that after listening to one side, he will conclude that Liu Bei made Guan Yu defeat Zhang He?" Hehe, that's ridiculous. To know Lu Dao, Liu Bei and his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei were separated after Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Liu Bei fled in a hurry and threw himself into the Ming Gong's account, and he didn't know where Guan Yu was now. Perhaps, the current Guan Yu is treacherous, betrayed my Liu Bei, the eldest brother, and switched to Cao Cao, he fought for Cao Cao and defeated General Zhang He, can this matter have anything to do with me Liu Bei? To know the way, to know the face but not the heart, just like Lu Bu's generals, who followed Lu Bu to fight in the south and the north, he was not disloyal to Lu Bu, but he didn't betray Lu Bu? Even Zhang Liao voted for Cao Cao, and it is difficult to guarantee whether Guan Yu also voted for Cao Cao. ”

"What's more, whether it's Guan Yu or not, you have to say two things, in this world, people with red faces and long beards are not only Guan Yu, right? If anyone who wants to borrow Guan Yu's prestige, someone with a long beard, calls himself Guan Yu, that is Guan Yu? Are you going to kill Liu Bei? Which of you knows Guan Yu? Can you recognize that the person who defeated General Zhang He is Guan Yu? Liu Bei said, but at this moment he was a little angry and said: "If you kill Liu Bei because of this, although Liu Bei can't resist." But I am definitely not convinced. Liu also believes that the eyes of the people in the world are bright, even if Liu does not have such a false name as Uncle Huang. But the people of the world will also give Liu Bei an explanation. ”

Yuan Shao listened to Liu Bei's words, but was really persuaded by Liu Bei. He felt that what Liu Bei said was reasonable, and he couldn't kill Liu Bei because of one side of the word and a suspicion.

"Besides, doesn't Ming Gong know about me Liu Bei? Prepare in Yecheng and keep your own. I'm afraid that if there is any abnormal behavior, it shouldn't be able to hide from Ming Gong's eyes, right? Liu Bei squinted at Yuan Shao at this time. A reminder.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he knew that Liu Bei was reminding him that he had sent a lot of people to keep an eye on Liu Bei, under his noses. Liu Bei really didn't seem to have any chance to have any contact with the people in Cao Cao's array.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shaoha smiled, stood up, and walked to Liu Bei's side. personally untied Liu Bei. said to Liu Bei: "Brother Xuandexian, don't be angry, this is also a test of you at the beginning, okay, I knew that Lu Dao had wronged you, and now I am not accompanying you." ”

"Hmph, it's all you, if it's not you. How could Yuan mishear the greedy words and almost kill a good person by mistake? Yuan Shao was not accompanied by Liu Bei. While glaring at Frustration angrily, he scolded Frustration.

Frustrated by Yuan Shao, his face was red, and he threw his sleeves away angrily.

Yuan Shao ignored the frustration, invited Liu Bei to take a seat, and set up a banquet for Liu Bei to suppress the shock.

During the banquet, Yuan Shao discussed the matter of sending troops again.

I don't know why Lu Dao is, when Yuan Shao heard that the general might be Guan Yu, his heart was a little calmer, and he was no longer frightened at that time. This time, he lost his men and horses in vain, and he was defeated for a while, which made Yuan Shao's face unbearable, especially remembering what Tian Feng, who was still imprisoned, said that he would be unfavorable if he was not in school, which made Yuan Shao a little unconvinced, and Cao Cao had already started a war, and if Cao Cao was not destroyed, how would he face the world? How to talk about righteousness?

Therefore, it is imperative to attack Cao Cao again.

At that moment, a general pushed the cup and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Gao visited General Zhang He, listened to what he said, and understood that the general sent by Cao Cao, he actually relied on the speed of the red rabbit horse obtained from Lu Bu, and rushed into Zhang He's military formation, and took advantage of Zhang He's lack of time to react, and attacked General Zhang He with all his strength when General Zhang He was unprepared, that is to say, General Zhang He's defeat was not defeated in martial arts, but in the strength of the strength that was too late to fight. Gao is confident that as long as he touches that general, he will be able to kill that general if he is prepared. ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao listened to the general's words and was in a good mood.

This general is Gao Lan, one of the four famous generals of Hebei in history.

In later generations, there was a lot of controversy about Gao Lanneng being listed as one of the four famous generals in Hebei. Because this general usually seems a bit low-key, except for some romance biographies, there is a little account in the battle of Guandu, saying that he and Cao Cao's general Xu Zhu did not win or lose the battle, Gao Ran does not seem to have too many achievements.

However, I believe that he can be compared with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Hesan, and he should also be a capable person. You must know that after Yuan Shao captured Hebei, his generals were like clouds, but why was no one else proposed to replace Gao Lan's position? Therefore, no matter how bad Gao Ran is, it should not be much worse than Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He.

At least, in Yuan Shao's mind, Gao Lan's status is not inferior to Zhang He.

Zhang He and Gao Ran are Yuan Shao's right-hand men. Therefore, when Yuan Shao saw that it was him, he immediately approved it, gave Gao Ran 100,000 military horses, and immediately led the army to attack Cao Cao, and his army arrived later.

Especially after listening to Gao Ran's analysis, Yuan Shao didn't realize how terrible the general who was suspected of being Guan Yu was.

And Liu Bei, who escaped death, although he strongly denied to Yuan Shao that the person who defeated Zhang He was not Guan Yu, but in his heart, he knew that the general who could easily defeat Zhang He in the enemy formation must be Guan Yu, except for Guan Yu, he really can't see anyone else who can do this.

Liu Bei knew that if Guan Yu was really in Cao Cao's army, then he would be in danger, and this time Yuan Shao would send troops to fight again, I am afraid that he might not be able to get benefits. I escaped once, and if I dodge it again, I'm afraid I'll be able to dodge it again.

He thought that if he stayed in Yecheng any longer, Yuan Shao would come back from defeat in the future, and he might not even be given a chance to speak. Therefore, he felt that he should follow Yuan Shao on the expedition, so that even if there were any changes on the front line, he could know the situation at the first time, and when the time came, he could also quickly make a countermeasure.

Therefore, Liu Bei also said to Yuan Shao in a timely manner: "Duke Ming, fortunately Duke Ming is wise and will not let Liu Bei die unjustly, so, to conquer Cao Cao, Liu Bei also wants to make a contribution to Duke Ming, not to mention, although I can't confirm whether it will be Guan Yu, but Liu Bei's heart is also a little suspicious, and I want to go to observe before the battle to see if it is really my second brother." ”

Yuan Shao now saw that Liu Bei was speaking earnestly, and he no longer doubted Liu Bei, so he immediately agreed to Liu Bei's suggestion, and allowed Liu Bei to be the vanguard deputy general, which is equivalent to Chun Yuqiong as Zhang He's deputy general before, and held the same responsibilities.

When Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao's agreement, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he excused himself to leave, and hurriedly returned to discuss with Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Chen Zhi and others.

Voting for Yuan Shao was not easier than when he first voted for Cao Cao, which made Liu Bei walk on thin ice, and if he was not careful, he would lose his life, which increased Liu Bei's determination to leave Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Shao has fought with Cao Cao, Liu Bei only needs to hide aside and wait for the opportunity to rise. (To be continued......)
