Chapter 41
South of Bowangpo.
Dust and mist rolled in, covering the sky.
Forty thousand Jingzhou legions came in force like a moving fortress.
Liu Biao, who was sitting high on the horse, kept his brows furrowed and alert.
The Yiqi scouts returned from time to time and sent Liu Jun's latest intelligence.
"Report to the lord!"
"Liu Bei personally led 10,000 troops and formed a formation south of Bowangpo, blocking our army's path! Liu
Biao was shocked and shouted:
"After passing the order, the army formed a formation and steadily advanced to the north."
"You are not allowed to attack without our military orders."
Orders were passed down layer by layer.
The 40,000 Jingzhou troops immediately formed hundreds of military formations, large and small, and continued to advance north step by step.
When the setting sun set, an army appeared in front and blocked the way. A general with the character"Liu" on his side Flags swaying in the setting sun
"Liu Bei, are you really commanding the army yourself and want to fight me head-on?"
Liu Biao frowned, and there was excitement but suspicion in his eyes. He was excited because he had the opportunity to complete his victory in one battle.
As long as Liu Bei's main force is defeated here, Nanyang can be recovered easily.
What is suspicious is that Liu Bei He is so arrogant and conceited that he dares to fight four times his army head-on with 10,000 troops?
"Could it be that there is some fraud in it?"
Liu Biao remembered Deng Mu's existence and couldn't help but speculate in his mind.
To be on the safe side, Liu Biao did not order a large-scale attack and stopped advancing more than a hundred steps in front of Liu Jun's formation.
The two armies were hundreds of steps apart, forming a confrontation.
1 The cavalry galloped out from Liu Jun's army, and under the banner of envoy, they arrived in front of the formation.
"Where is Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Jingsheng?"
"My lord Liu Xuande, I want to fight with you for a while, do you have the courage?"
Liu Biao was slightly shaken, and his eyes were a little more suspicious.
The battle between the two armies was about to begin, but Liu Bei actually wanted to invite him to stand in front of the battle line for a while?
What does this mean?
"My lord, could it be that the big-eared thief doesn’t have the guts to fight my lord?"
"He invited the lord to stand in front of the formation, did he want to plead guilty to the lord and submit?"
Cai Mao was extremely confident and immediately guessed this.
After all, there was a huge disparity in strength between the two armies. Liu Bei was afraid of the large army in Jingzhou, so it was not impossible for him to surrender and beg for mercy.
Liu Biao's spirit suddenly perked up.
If Liu Bei really surrendered, he would not have to fight a bloody battle or use a single soldier. With one strike, Nanyang can be recovered.
Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the best strategy!
"Hum, I would like to see how Liu Bei pleads for mercy! Liu
Biao smiled coldly, raised his whip and shouted:
"Degui, you stay and take charge of the overall situation."
"Zhongye, lead a team of troops to escort me to meet Liu Bei."
The second general took the order.
The envoy returned to the formation to reply.
Soon, Liu Bei and the two of them rode out under the escort of Zhang Fei.
Seeing that Liu Bei moved first, Liu Biao, under the protection of Wenpin and more than ten mounted guards, rode out. The horses came out of the battle.
Two cavalry and more than ten cavalry, seven steps apart, stopped advancing in a tacit understanding.
Liu Bei and Liu Biao.
The royal family members with red roots and the wild grass-roots descendants of the Liu family finally faced each other for the first time.
"Brother Jing Sheng, be polite!"
Liu Bei was the first to speak and bowed his hands to Liu Biao.
In Liu Bei's eyes, Liu Biao was a registered royal family member and a world-renowned celebrity.
Although they are enemies today, Liu Bei still has respect for this fellow clan member.
Liu Biao It was different. From the first moment he saw Liu Bei, his head was held high and his eyes were contemptuous.
That attitude was like a rich man with a millionaire looking coldly at a poor relative who came to his door.
Facing Liu Bei's gift, Liu Biao didn't even respond. The meaning of return gift
"Liu Bei! He looked angry, pointed his riding crop, and reprimanded sharply:
"I thought that you had some kind of benevolence and righteousness, so I gave Nanyang County to you."
"Who would have thought that you would pretend to be benevolent and righteous, allowing your subordinates to plunder the people of Nanyang and harm the people!"
"Today, at the request of the people of Nanyang, I am going to punish you, a violent person like you!"
"If you still have some conscience and shame in your heart, quickly take your troops and get out of Nanyang, and I will forget the blame."
"Otherwise, I will make you regret it!"
Liu Biao was upright and arrogant, and he angrily rebuked Liu Bei.
The momentum of his words made Liu Bei look like a fool.
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he was still thinking about what kind of words he should use to anger Liu Biao and attract him. He pursued in anger.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything rude, Liu Biao gave him a mean, arrogant and sarcastic rebuke.
There was no trace of the magnanimity of a famous person in the country!
He didn't even care about the slightest bit of friendship between his fellow clansmen!
Liu Bei was astonished and immediately followed him angrily. With his heart rising, he thought about retorting.
But for a moment, he couldn't curse.
After all, he was not very good at falling out with others and speaking harshly.
Zhang Fei beside him was furious, and in his mind When I was neutral, I remembered Deng Mu’s confession.
"Liu Biao, you old bastard, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!"
"Who doesn't know that you are afraid that my brother will steal your Jingzhou, so you send troops to cause trouble for my brother? Why do you pretend to be a wise master who provokes the people and punishes crimes?"
Zhang Fei pointed his snake spear at Liu Biao, and with a simple and rude word, he pierced the Emperor Liu Biao's new clothes.
Liu Biao's face was red with anger, and he pointed at Zhang Fei and wanted to scold him.
How could Zhang Fei do this? Giving him a chance, he took the lead and cursed again:
"You old bastard, as the lord of Jingzhou, you allow Cai Mao and Kuai Yue to take over the people's land and dominate the countryside!"
"As a descendant of the Liu family, you saw that the Han Dynasty was about to fall. You held the army of a state but did not want to help the Han Dynasty. You just wanted to hide in Jingzhou and be your local emperor!"
"In order to secure your position in Jingzhou, you married a woman from the Cai family, so you allowed the Cai family's siblings to run against your eldest son Liu Qi, but you doted on your younger son Liu Cong!"
"A bastard like you, who is a disloyal minister, an unclear ruler, and an unkind father, are you worthy of scolding my brother, and worthy of talking about conscience and integrity?"
"Liu Biao, I tell you clearly that you are not worthy of being the shepherd of Jingzhou!"
"My eldest brother is the official Jingzhou Shepherd appointed by the imperial court, and now he is coming to take over Jingzhou on the orders of the Emperor!"
"If you know this, take your wife and children as soon as possible and go to Xudu to be your Taiwei. My eldest brother Renyi, thinking that we both have the same surname as Liu, will spare your life!"
"If you still occupy the manhole and don't poop, I will chop off your dog's head, kill your whole family, and leave you dead without a burial place!"
Zhang Fei spit out sweet things, exposed all Liu Biao's dark history, and scolded him bloody
"Zhang Fei, you, you——"
Liu Biao's eyes popped open, his face turned purple from suppressing it, and he almost vomited blood after being scolded.
