Yecheng did not send any more arrows, so Yuan Fang took matters into his own hands and ensured adequate food and clothing.
Liu Bei is like Yuan Fang's cash machine. Yuan Fang picks up people and picks up the city again. This time, Yuan Fang wants to pick up arrows from his hand.
Arrows were still falling like locusts outside the ship. Liu Bei was not aware of Yuan Fang's plan at all, and was still firing arrows without hesitation.
Unknowingly, the right side of the ship was filled with arrows and began to tilt to one side. Yuan Convenient ordered the ships to turn around and continue to receive arrows on the other side.
More than half an hour later, the other side was also filled with arrows, and the ship regained its balance.
Yuan Fang looked at the densely packed arrows on the boat and sneered: "It's time to return home with full load. Order all the boats to return to the north shore."
"No!" Hao Zhao excitedly went to pass the order.
The ships received the order, and the beating of drums and shouts of killing suddenly stopped, and they quickly retreated towards the north, loaded with arrows.
Yuan Fang felt that this was not enough, so he ordered the officers and men on board the ships to shout in unison, "Thank you Liu Xuande for the gift of arrows."
The five hundred soldiers also understood this and were so excited that they shouted at the top of their lungs to the other side.
"Thank you Liu Xuande for the gift of the arrow¡ª¡ª"
"Thank you Liu Xuande for the gift of the arrow¡ª¡ª"
The playful shouts passed through the night and went straight to the south bank.
On the shore, Liu Bei was still on guard, staring nervously at the water, urging his soldiers to keep firing arrows.
Zhang Fei also led thousands of dry camp soldiers and horses to come to support, but no enemy ships were seen.
Gradually, Liu Bei began to have some doubts. Suddenly, his big ears moved slightly, as if he heard something strange.
With a frown, Liu Bei urgently ordered to stop firing arrows.
The sound of breaking through the air dissipated, and Yuan Jun's "thank you" sound came clearly to his ears.
All the soldiers of Sergeant Liu were confused and could not understand what it meant.
Liu Bei was confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized it.
In an instant, Liu Bei's gray face was filled with shame and annoyance, and his fists were clenched, making a cracking sound.
"What a shame, little Yuan Fang actually tricked me into giving me tens of thousands of arrows" Liu Bei gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes filled with anger as if he was being teased.
Zhang Fei, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu Bei¡¯s curse words, and suddenly realized that
Zhang Fei immediately flew into a rage, his angry eyes widened, and shouted: "Brother, this kid Yuan Fang is teasing us like this. He is really bullying us. Please order me to kill him across the river. I will definitely behead that kid with my own hands." The head is dedicated to the big brother to relieve his anger."
Zhang Fei yelled like this, and the officers and soldiers on the left and right also woke up, and they realized that their lord had fallen into the enemy's plan and was deceived into receiving tens of thousands of arrows.
Liu Bei suddenly felt ashamed and glared at Zhang Fei, secretly reproaching him for shouting loudly to reveal the truth.
However, Liu Bei regained his composure in a blink of an eye and sighed: "Brother, I also want to fight across the river and take back the plain. However, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have not been peaceful recently. The governor Tian asked me to strictly guard Gaotang and not go to war. There is nothing I can do about it, brother." "
"But brother"
"No need to say more, let's go back to camp."
Liu Bei was teased in front of everyone. He didn't want to stay for a long time. He didn't listen to Zhang Fei's words anymore, so he beat his horse and went back to the camp.
While Liu Bei was still hiding his hatred, Yuan Fang had already led dozens of ships and returned fully loaded.
By the water camp on the north bank, Generals Guo Huai and Zhu Ling were waiting anxiously. They heard the sound of drums on the river and the light of arrows intertwining into a web. They were worried that Yuan Fang would be in danger.
When they saw the warship returning, Guo Huai and Zhu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to meet the trestle.
Ships that had been turned into "hedgehogs" by arrows entered the camp one after another. Zhu Ling and Guo Huai were both wise and brave generals. They suddenly realized this, and surprise appeared on their faces.
"It turns out that the young master actually used this method to deceive Liu Bei into giving tens of thousands of arrows!" Zhu Ling's face was filled with surprise.
Guo Huai also sighed: "I didn't expect that the young master got tens of thousands of arrows in vain with his little plan. There was no need for Yecheng to allocate them to us. The young master's methods are really unpredictable for us."
The two generals were amazed and delighted, and rushed towards Yuan Fang's ship to greet him.
"Young master, we have arrived at the shore. Everyone is very excited. From a distance, I can hear them praising the master's clever plan." Hao Zhao said excitedly.
Yuan Fang smiled faintly, and then made an unexpected move.
He tore off the armor on his shoulders and wrapped a white bandage tightly around it several times, making it look like it had been bandaged.
"Sir, what are you doing" Hao Zhao was surprised and confused.
"Wait a while to get off the boat. Just tell me that when I was borrowing an arrow, a cold arrow penetrated the wall of the boat and unfortunately hit my left chest. I was seriously injured."
With that said, Yuan Fang grinned, leaned against Hao Zhao, and pretended to be injured.
Hao Zhao didn¡¯t know Yuan Fang¡¯s intention, but he didn¡¯t have time to ask more, so he had to help Yuan Fang and stumble out of the boat.
When Guo Huai and Zhu Ling saw Yuan Fang like this, they both looked shocked. They rushed forward to support him and asked what was going on.
Yuan Fang frowned and couldn't open his eyes, looking in pain.
"Young master wants to borrow arrows from a straw boat, but he doesn't want to be hit by a cold arrow. He is still seriously injured. Please help him back to camp quickly." Hao Zhao had no choice but to lie on Yuan Fang's behalf.
The second general was even more frightened. He hurriedly lifted Yuan Fang and hurried to the camp.
Along the way, the soldiers were all shocked when they saw their young master being injured. Soon, word spread in the military camp.
Hao Zhao and others lifted Yuan Fang out of the tent. Zhu Ling, who didn't know what was going on, was busy calling the military doctor.
At this time, Yuan Fang jumped up and stood in front of them lively.
Zhu Ling and Zhu Ling were stunned immediately. Looking at Yuan Fang who had returned to normal, they looked at each other blankly, completely blindfolded.
"Young master, aren't you injured?" After a while, Zhu Lingcai let out a sound from between his teeth in surprise and joy.
Yuan Fang smiled: "To tell you the truth, I pretended to be injured on purpose. You just need to know about it. You must not reveal it to a third person. Rumors will spread to the outside world that I was indeed seriously injured." Arrow wound."
Including Hao Zhao, Zhu Ling and Guo Huai, the three generals trusted by Yuan Fang, all stayed there in confusion.
"Sir, what is the purpose of this?" Guo Huai asked puzzledly.
At this point, Yuan Fang no longer needed to hide anything in front of his trusted generals, so he revealed his plan in full.
Now that the Yellow Turban bandits are raging in Beihai, Yuan Fang, based on his historical knowledge, expected that Kong Rong would be defeated, so he would definitely send someone to ask Tian Kai and Liu Bei for help.
According to the original history, Tian Kai and Liu Bei would leave Pingyuan County and go to Beihai to rescue Kong Rong. But now, Yuan Fang has captured Pingyuan and is eyeing Gaotang. Under this pressure, how can Tian Kai dare to dispatch Liu Bei to rescue Kong Rong? melt.
If Liu Bei does not mobilize his troops and leaves, there will be more than 10,000 enemy troops stationed in Gaotang City. How can Yuan Fang forcefully cross the Yellow River and capture Gaotang with only 10,000 troops and horses.
So Yuan Fang took the opportunity to pretend to be seriously injured, so that Liu Bei could leave Gaotang boldly and go to Beihai to rescue Kong Rong.
At that time, Yuan Fang could take advantage of the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and seize Gaotang City in one fell swoop.
After listening to Yuan Fang's explanation, the three generals suddenly realized what they were saying. They were overjoyed and couldn't help showing expressions of admiration on their faces.
"The master's straw boat borrowing arrows is already a clever trick. When borrowing arrows, he takes advantage of the situation and pretends to be wounded to underestimate the enemy. This is another trick. This series of clever tricks and the master's cunning really make us admire him to the ground. "
Guo Huai was filled with admiration and sincere respect for Yuan Fang.
Hao Zhao and Zhu Ling also expressed admiration and admiration, not knowing what words to use to express their feelings.
Hearing the praises of the three good generals, Yuan Fang certainly felt a little proud in his heart, but he did not show it and remained calm and calm.
As soon as he lay down on the couch, Yuan Fang said with a smile: "From today on, I will pretend to be injured, and you will make more preparations secretly. As soon as Liu Bei falls into his trap, we will cross the Yellow River and capture Gaotang."
"Promise!" The three generals responded in unison.
On the same day, Yuan Fang tied a bandage, pretended to be injured in the tent, and handed over all military affairs to his subordinates.
The news that Yuan Fang was hit by an arrow spread quickly. When the soldiers of Yuan Fang learned the news, their morale naturally began to turmoil.
However, Zhu Ling and other generals were very resourceful and used various methods to appease the morale of the troops, while secretly preparing for the battle across the river.
Seven days later, Liu Bei arranged a detailed operation on the north bank and spread the news of Yuan Fang's injury to the Gaotang camp.
At this time, Liu Bei was still depressed and annoyed because he was tricked by Yuan Fang that day and defrauded tens of thousands of arrows. When this unexpected news came, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Yuan Fang's little envoy defrauded me of arrows, but he was seriously injured. This is really a reward for evil, haha~~" Liu Bei held the piece of information in his hand and laughed happily.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu on the left and right also showed proud smiles, as if they had a bad breath.
"Brother, since that kid is injured, why don't we take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and recapture Pingyuan City?" Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation and called for war.
Liu Bei suppressed his laughter andBut he was silent for a while.
It is not impossible to take advantage of the situation to attack the north and recapture the plains. However, once the plains are recaptured, the connection with Gongsun Zan will be re-opened.
At that time, Gongsun Zan will continue to send people to intervene in Qingzhou affairs, and Liu Bei will always act as Gongsun Zan's thug.
"It would be a good thing to let Yuan Fang's son stand in the middle and cut off the connection with Youzhou. I can take the opportunity to go to Beihai to rescue Kong Rong. That Kong Rong is a famous person in the world. If I can get along well with him"
After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a strange look.
In the blink of an eye, he had a generous look on his face and said sternly: "Things have their own priorities. Prime Minister Kong Guo of Beihai was surrounded by Yellow Turban thieves and asked us for help many times. If I don't go to save him, wouldn't I be dishonoring my benevolence? I have decided to hurry up. I sent an urgent letter to Governor Tian, ??asking him to allow me to go to Beihai to rescue Prime Minister Kong."
