Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Bei was speechless. He had been ambitious since he was a child and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world to make a career. If he could hide this from others, how could he hide it from Ma Chao, who had the prophet of time travel?  Speaking of which, Liu Bei is indeed a rare talent. He came from a poor background and had no political capital. He only relied on his status as a Han clan clan member to deceive and win people's hearts. In the end, he was able to divide the world into three parts and achieve the hegemony of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is unconvincing.  Will not work.  ??The fundamental reason is that in addition to Liu Bei's own talent, Guan and Zhang are also an indispensable part of Liu Bei's success.  Throughout history, the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil for nearly a hundred years, and the population of China was reduced from more than 50 million to only a few million. The culprits were ambitious people like Liu Bei, and of course, Cao Cao and Sun Quan were included.  The only reason to blame is that there were no heroic figures like the First Emperor and Gaozu who could eliminate the princes and unify the world in a short period of time.  Ma Chao did not give Liu Bei a chance to refute, and cursed: "Big-eared thief, it is precisely because of such a moth-like ambition like you that all the people in the world are in ruins! Both Guan and Zhang are rare and peerless generals. If you invest in this general  Serving under my command, why worry about not being able to make achievements? In the future, you will be remembered in history, and you may be crowned king! But you are so ambitious and unwilling to be subordinate to others. You are trying to divide the Han family. I am harming others and myself, and I will never tolerate you!  Waiting for these ambitious people to seize control of the country and keep fighting! Now that you are at the end of your rope, what can you say?" Liu Bei shouted loudly: "You don't talk nonsense! You claim to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but you are playing tricks in secret?  , oppressing the young king, robbing the mother of the country, and killing innocent people indiscriminately, how are you different from the Dong thieves now? How long can you continue to be arrogant?" Ma Chao said with disdain, "What I did.  As for this, future generations will comment, so I won¡¯t bother you, Liu Bei, to lie! I will order an attack on the city, and I will never show mercy. I hope you will take care of yourself! As for Zhang Fei¡¯s body, I have already ordered people to bury it.  A fierce general mistakenly surrenders to his master. If he serves under his command, what will he achieve?" After saying this, he ignored Liu Bei.  He shouted loudly: "Listen to the thieves on the city wall. You will only die if you follow Liu Bei. I will lead my troops to destroy Liu Bei. God's will and the will of the people will only kill Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Those who take the initiative to surrender can  The land and tools were allotted and turned into civilians. Those who helped the emperor will not be tolerated. " There was an uproar in the city. It had only been a few months since Liu Bei had collected the Yellow Turban bandits, and the loyalty of the soldiers was greatly lacking.  After seeing Ma Chao's methods this time, he already had the intention of surrender.  Liu Bei was furious and shouted: "You little thief, don't use your evil words to deceive the public. Yuan Shao's army will rush to Xuzhou immediately. By then, there will be a million troops in the battle, and it will be easy to wipe out all the remaining members of your party!" Ma Chao smiled slightly, turned around and shouted: "Stone Pao  The camp is ready to capture Xiaopei and reward the whole army!" The army cheered and were all gearing up to attack the city.  At this moment, the Xiangyang artillery was ready, and more than 20,000 soldiers started to move together, carrying horses and horses. It didn¡¯t take long to pile up a hill of stones.  Following the order, one hundred and fifty trebuchets immediately launched their force, and large stones flew straight towards Xiaopei City.  These stone bullets are different from the ones used to hit people just now. The lightest ones weigh twenty or thirty kilograms.  The newly reinforced Xiaopei City was immediately riddled with holes. The defenders on top of the city did not dare to show their heads, and they all lay down under the female wall.  While the trebuchet kept firing stone projectiles, Ma Chao organized people to use ladders to cross the moat. The first ones to cross were the archers and sword and shield soldiers.  Most of these archers were personally trained by Huang Zhong and Cao Xing, and all of them were extremely accurate. After crossing the moat, they cooperated with the sword and shield soldiers below the city to suppress the archers at the top of the city!  Because of the suppressed firepower of the Xiangyang artillery, few people in Chengtou Mountain dared to lower their heads, let alone bend their bows and set up arrows.  As the infantry continued to cross the river, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses soon gathered under the city, including Gao Shun's trapped camp.  ¡°After more than half an hour, the city head has been smashed into shape. In many places, even the parapets have been knocked down. The outer layer of stones has long since fallen off, leaving a layer of solid rammed earth.  Cao Xing took advantage of the fact that there was no one to defend the city, and ordered people to light firewood at the city gate under the gate tower. Using kerosene as a medium, the fire was raging.  Seeing that the large rocks were about to be exhausted, Ma Chao ordered the gunner to replace the small rocks and adjust the range to increase the range. The flying rocks fell into the city with full force.  There was chaos in the city, and the noise could be heard from far away.  The more than 10,000 troops outside the city also prepared ropes and ladders, ready to attack the city at any time.  But he said that the morale of the troops in the city was disorganized and it was a matter of life and death. How could these yellow scarf thieves be willing to sacrifice their lives for Liu Bei?  As soon as the Xiangyang artillery was launched, people started to become deserters and hid in private houses and under the city walls, waiting for Ma Chao's army to attack and surrender.  Liu Bei frowned when he saw this. He also has a relatively loyal direct tribe under his command. These people were recruited from the plains and have been following him for two or three years.  But this team only has less than 10,000 people. In the battle just outside the city, more than 2,000 people were killed, leaving less than 5,000 people. If they only defend one?, but it can be resisted for a while.  This is Liu Bei's last fortune. He doesn't want to become a mere commander. Now that he has broken up with Ma Chao, there is no place in the north.  There is little point in defending Xiaopei. Even if you can hold on for a day or two, you will not be able to escape the defeat of the city.  At that moment, he did not send anyone to defend the city. Instead, he called together the remaining 20,000 troops and said loudly: "My fellow soldiers, now Ma Chao is bullying others. We may not be able to resist him. However, Ma Chao oppresses the good, controls the government, and acts perversely. Guandong  The princes have formed an alliance to fight against Ma Chao! I want to go south to Yuzhou to join the princes in the fight against Ma Chao! If you are willing to continue to follow me, Liu Bei, to make achievements, I will treat you with all my heart!" He said with tears streaming down his face!  The skirt of his clothes actually bowed down and saluted all the soldiers.  There was an uproar among the more than 20,000 soldiers, and 30% of them bowed down on the spot, saying in unison: "Follow the Lord to the death! Never surrender!" Liu Bei did not stand up, but wiped his tears and continued: "If you don't want to suffer with Liu Bei,  I treat them as brothers, and there is still a lot of money and food in the city, so you can divide it and disperse." At this point, another three people bowed down and said loudly: "I am willing to follow my lord to attack Ma Chao!" Liu Bei was very happy!  , took a closer look, and saw that most of these people were young and powerful, and all of them were very excited.  The remaining nearly 10,000 people looked ashamed and did not dare to look at him!  Then he bowed three more times, stood up and said loudly: "Thank you all brothers for your help, I will be rewarded in the future! Now Ma Chao is about to attack Xiaopei, I can't wait for a moment, so the best way is to get out quickly!" "  I am willing to listen to my lord's orders!" Liu Bei said: "Ma Chao is ruthless and will massacre the city if he captures Xiaopei. I want to lead the people in the city to Shouchun. All I need to do is get to Lingbi. There is nothing Ma Chao can do to stop us!  "(To be continued)
