Chapter 1183 Depressed Liu Bei
Li Tong stood on the incomplete wall of Runan and looked into the distance. The soldiers and horses in the distance were slowly retreating, and the huge "Liu" flag was particularly eye-catching.
Li Tong doesn't think he is a genius defending the city, and the white cloth wrapped around his head can be used as proof. However, under his auspices, Runan Town has been standing under the siege of Liu Biao's army and persisted for more than 20 days - however, at this point, everything should be over.
"Liu Biao is also very resolute. As soon as he heard the great victory of our army in the battle of Guandu, he immediately turned his head and left without hesitation." Wang Lang, the governor of Runan standing next to Li Tong, couldn't help sighing.
"That's not Liu Biao's flag." Li Tong said.
"Hmm?"
"That's Liu Bei's. He claimed to be a relative of the Han clan, so he drew a circle of red on the edge of the flag to represent Huode.
"Hmm, this country bumpkin is good at drilling. Isn't he still Yuan Shao's staff a few days ago? In a moment, he has become the guest of Liu Biao.
Li Tong also spat on the ground with dissatisfaction. Liu Bei and his two brothers have been attacking near Runan under the banner of Yuan Shao, but they dare not confront Cao's army head-on. It was not until Liu Biao's army arrived that they raised the flag happily and announced that they would fight against Cao thieves as relatives of the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Biao's army has become a joke since he first entered Runan. Liu Biao has been riding on the wall to watch the scenery. When he learned that Yuan Shao was defeated in the Guandu War, he made up his mind to send troops. Unexpectedly, the war in Jizhou suddenly changed. After ten months, Zhao Yun occupied Youzhou, and the Ma army surrounded all sides, making Cao Cao fall into trouble.
If that's all, the main general Cai Mao will be very happy. However, just three days ago, he suddenly got information that there had never been any movement. Ma Jiajun stationed in Yangzhai County suddenly entered Xiangcheng under the leadership of General Zhang Ji, and the soldiers pointed straight to the Minshan Grain Road.
Although Zhang Ji's men are less than 5,000 soldiers, the attitude of the forces behind him cannot be ignored. Yesterday, after finally confirming that Zhang Jiyou sentry did visit the geography of Minshan, Cai Mao also received an order from Liu Biao to withdraw.
That's why today's ridiculous scene happened.
"Perhaps, only people like Liu Bei will be loved by the times." Wang Lang was silent for a moment, and a little sigh suddenly appeared on his face. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Jingzhou: "As for those guys who are untimely and can't even figure out the situation, they will be swallowed up sooner or later."
"Why can't I understand what you said?" Li Tong is a little confused.
Wang Lang pointed to the distant "Liu" and said lightly, "Nothing, I just think this guy will become a big trouble in the future."
Li Tong laughed, but in the middle of the laugh, he couldn't laugh: "Why did the Ma family suddenly help Cao? Isn't the situation of the two families now a life-and-death hatred?
"The army is impermanent and vertically." Wang Lang smiled bitterly. He couldn't figure out why this was. He could only deceive himself and explain, "Let the big man take care of the above things." Sometimes we little people don't know that it's a kind of happiness.
Li Tong nodded without understanding and acquiesced to Wang Lang's explanation. After shaking and driving away the messy thoughts in his mind, he ordered, "Runan's victory, reward the three armies tonight. If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
At the same time, a wine banquet was also held in 50 miles away from Runan. However, the wine in this military account is a little bitter, which makes Liu Bei feel more bored after drinking it. Especially when he saw Cai Maohao drinking on the throne, Liu Bei was even more full of emotion that he didn't know what to say.
"Xuandegong, although we didn't take Runan City this time, we dealt a heavy damage to Cao Thieves. However, Xuande Gong subdued the yellow scarf thief in Runan and paced the eastern front line of Jingzhou, which was also a great achievement. Seeing that Liu Bei seemed to have something on his mind, Cai Mao raised the wine bottle high and said, "Please drink this cup!"
"After joining our Han army, there will be no longer the name of yellow scarf thief in the future, and the general made a mistake." Liu Bei was full of sadness, and saw that Liu Pi and Gong, who were accompanying the last seat, looked angrily and had no choice but to turn around.
However, Cai Mao was born in Jingzhou, and he was also a meritorious official who assisted Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou. Calling Liu Bei 'Xuan Degong' in Cai Mao's eyes, he already looked up on Liu Bei. But he didn't expect that this usually humble and peaceful guy dared to contradict himself in front of everyone, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
Cai Mao was about to scold Liu Bei, but suddenly felt that the two violent breaths behind Liu Bei suddenly locked him down. Looking up, I saw that Liu Bei's two righteous brothers were standing tall and serving, and a snake spear trembled. The owner of the snake spear, the leopard, glared angrily, and Cai Mao blurted out a word and came forward to fight fiercely. The red-faced man holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife on the other side was even more powerful. His slightly narrowed Danfeng eyes seemed to lift half, and a wisp of electric light burst into Cai Mao's heart, making the wine bottle in Cai Mao's hand almost impossible to grasp.
Cai Mao has heard about the names of these two for a long time, and now there is no one under the account that can withstand a war. Cai Mao had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to curse Ma Chao fiercely: Damn it, if you hadn't cheated my general Huang Zhong away, how could I be afraid of these two?!
Unfortunate, the curse cannot be used as courage. Cai Mao's face turned sharply and showed a good look with difficulty: "Xuan Degong's words are reasonable. It's just that I made a mistake and punished myself!"
Liu Bei immediately got up and said 'I dare not' and accompanied him for a drink. When he sat down, Liu Bei staggered slightly: When he put down the wine bottle, he clearly saw the flashing jealousy and viciousness in Cai Mao's eyes... This made his originally sad mood even more sad.
"Lord Xuande, the lord knew your great achievements. After discussing with the ministers, he decided to transfer Xinye County to the governance of Xuande..." The taste of the wine had changed, and Cai Mao was not in the mood to drink any more, and directly said the purpose of the banquet.
"This..." Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and soon understood Liu Biao's intention. He carefully said, "He is virtuous and shallow, and it is useless. This time, you are so loving that you should come to Xiangyang and thank you for your beauty.
"It doesn't matter, so that you already know that Xuandegong is an affectionate and righteous person, and you will live up to your high expectations." Cai Mao waved his hand casually and dismissed Liu Bei's request lightly.
Liu Bei saw this action and his face was even more dark. Cai Mao's reaction seems simple, but it represents a lot of meaning. Liu Bei and Liu Biao said that there were still half royal relatives, but Cai Mao, Liu Biao's in-law, refused Liu Bei so casually, obviously revealing two important information to Liu Bei.
First, don't talk about the Han Dynasty. Jingzhou is our Jingzhou, which has nothing to do with Liu Bei.
2, close relatives, you, Liu Bei, are just a beggar. You can't sneak into the high-level officials of Jingzhou and provoke us
Liu Biao's relationship is humiliating!
There is no greater sorrow than death. At this time, Liu Bei really felt the sadness of heaven and no way to earth. Looking at the empty wine bottle in his hand, he didn't know what else he could say. I had to make an excuse to leave the table at will. As soon as Liu Bei left, nearly half of the generals in the tent left the table, including some middle-level lieutenants who were not ambitious under Cai Mao. Seeing this, the wooden wine bottle in his hand smashed, and the viciousness in his eyes was about to come out with the broken wood chips.
Then, Liu Bei went into his account without saying a word. But when the curtain was lifted, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said at the same time, "Brother, be careful, there is someone in the account!"
Liu Bei was shocked, but then his face darkened, and he still lifted the curtain and walked into the account. Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed in and looked up. He saw that there was only a subordinate in the account who was putting some food on Liu's record table.
"Brother, but the banquet is not full yet, so I specially asked the servants to bring another meal?" Zhang Fei turned his head and asked, but his eyes were not half an inch away from him.
But before Liu Bei opened his mouth, Guan Yu's face was already gloomy: "He is not a man in our army. How can he have such a calm and calm temperament?"
When the Ding heard this, he turned around, with a reassuring smile on his harmless fat face. He bowed and saluted, "General Guan's eyes are like electricity. The villain is the shadow of the Ma family. He is ordered to come to see Liu Shijun..."
