"Zhang Fei leads his army to fight? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

While asking casually, Tao Ying quietly moved the chess piece in the corner of the chessboard. Lu Su on the opposite side immediately noticed it and quickly grabbed Tao Ying's hand and asked Tao Ying why he cheated every time he played chess. Tao Ying denied it.

, the messenger who was kneeling on one knee in front of the case clasped his fists and replied: "Replying to my lord, there are about five or six hundred people, including about twenty cavalry, and the rest are all infantry."

"Go on, don't pay attention to Zhang Fei's challenge to fight. No one is allowed to leave the stronghold to fight." Tao Ying ordered without looking back: "Moreover, send more scouts to the northwest to see if there is any enemy ambush.

"

The messenger took the order and left, while Tao Ying and Lu Su continued to argue about whether the chess pieces had been secretly moved. However, Deputy Director Tao's trick was quickly exposed. Lu Su, who has a super memory, pointed out more than thirty previous positions in turn.

, proving that the chess piece had indeed been moved, Deputy Director Tao admitted without blushing that his sleeve might have moved the chess piece, and then regretted more than thirty moves in one breath, asking to start over from the chess piece that was accidentally moved by his sleeve.

Of course Lu Su refused. While the two were arguing, a group of Xuzhou military generals including Xu Chu, Tao Ji, Sun Guan and Xu Sheng came to the Chinese army's tent and asked for orders to leave the camp to fight Zhang Fei.

"My lord, Zhang Fei is shouting and fighting outside the camp. I wonder why my lord ordered the camp to be closed and not allowed to go out to fight?" Xu Chu was the first to shout: "The general asked me to lead a thousand troops to fight against those who came to die."

Ring-eyed thief, I will behead the ring-eyed thief and bring it back to the lord."

"Second brother, let me go." Tao Ji also rushed to say: "My younger brother will lead the army of gentlemen out into the battle and keep it safe so that none of the ring-eyed thieves can escape!"

"Third General. The Junzi Army has won enough battles. Let me lead the Fengyu Army into battle." Xu Sheng also came to fight for it, and many Xuzhou generals who didn't know the heights of the world also volunteered to fight Zhang Fei.

.

"Can't go out to fight." Tao Ying finally turned around, crossed his legs and said to the generals: "Don't you think it's strange? Our army has more than 10,000 people, and Xuzhou's ace troops such as Junzi Army and Feng Yu Army are also in Fang Yu.

Camp, how dare Zhang Fei come with only five or six hundred people to die? If what I expected is correct, this must be a trick of the enemy. There must be an ambush behind Zhang Fei's team. If you rush into battle, you will definitely be hit.

count!"

"Please don't worry, my lord." Yuan Zhong, a veteran from Xuzhou, came out and said with cupped hands: "Today's sentry cavalry detection is the responsibility of the last general. The last general dares to use Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee. There is not a single soldier within thirty miles of the camp.

The enemy is ambushing a single soldier! The generals led by our scouts are also the two sons of the last general. If the scouts are wrong, please behead the father and son of the last general!"

"Second brother, the terrain to the north is open and the roads are wide. It is not easy for the enemy to ambush you." Tao Ji retorted unconvinced, and then analyzed: "Besides, the ring-eyed thief has always had a bad temper. Second brother, you are in Cao Cao."

The thief threatened in front of the envoy that he would not withdraw his troops until the big-eared thief was killed. Maybe the ring-eyed thief heard the news and lost his composure, so he came with five or six hundred people to die."

"Really?" Tao Ying rolled his cunning triangular eyes and calculated. At the same time, because Zhang Fei's fiery temper left a deep impression on Tao Ying, Tao Ying was inevitably a little shaken. "Is this really the case? The ring-eyed thief couldn't calm down and came to the door to die.

Coming? If so, this is a great opportunity to cut off the big-eared thief's arm."

"Lord, why don't you go to the gate of the camp and see with your own eyes to see if the enemy is luring the enemy?" Lu Su put forward a new suggestion, and Tao Ying was very satisfied when he heard it. Tao Ying finally stayed and led Lu Su, Xu Chu and other generals there.

Observe the movement in front of the camp gate.

Arriving in front of the gate of the camp, there was indeed a force of five or six hundred Liu Bei's troops fighting in the distance. Zhang Fei's unique loud voice could also be heard clearly, and he cursed Tao Ying's family in a voice like a broken gong.

Tao Ying's eighteen generations of ancestors were scolded one by one. Hearing these vicious curses, the thick-skinned Deputy Director Tao and the calm Lu Su didn't care, but the Xuzhou generals were furious.

They all asked for orders to go out to fight, but Tao Ying refused to agree to anything. He even climbed up to the gate of the village, raised a primitive telescope he had made by himself, and observed the enemy's movements from a high position.

At this time, Zhang Sanye, who was still relatively rough, saw the generals gathering in front of the Xuzhou camp and guessed that Tao Ying must have arrived in person, so he shouted loudly: "You ungrateful little thief Tao Ying, don't you want to take Taoyuan?"

The heads of the three brothers? Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are here. Rats who are not afraid of death, come and fight! Zhang Fei puts the heads on his head, let’s see who can cut them off?!”

"Fan Jiang and Zhang Da can be cut off, but it's a pity that these two don't know where it is yet." Tao Ying muttered in his heart, ignoring Zhang Fei's so-called vicious provocation - such a curse word in the Three Kingdoms era, Deputy Director Tao really

He had never taken it seriously, but was patiently observing the enemy team. However, what confused Tao Ying was that there was nothing suspicious about Zhang Fei's five or six hundred men. At the same time, the rear of the enemy team was calm, and in the distance

There was no Chenyan flag, and there was no place where a large number of troops could be hidden, so Tao Ying inevitably became more suspicious, "Did Zhang Fei really come to die on his own?"

"Lord, the terrain is open and there seems to be no ambush." ​​Lu Su next to him also said: "At least within ten miles to the north, there cannot be an ambush. I think it is possible to fight. Our army has been stationed in Fangyu for nearly a month, and there has never been an ambush.

After the First World War, the morale of the army has been slackened a lot, so fighting another battle will also be good for boosting the morale of the army."

Tao Ying nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Su's judgment, but Deputy Director Tao was suspicious and cunning. After thinking about it for a while, Tao Ying said: "It's better to be cautious. Let's let the crossbowmen be ready.

I provoked Zhang Fei to come over and charge the camp to see if he really came to lure the enemy."

"Poor General Zhang Yide, you wish for your own good." Lu Su, who had witnessed Tao Ying's scolding tactics during the battle with Sun Ce, muttered quietly, and then conveyed Tao Ying's order for the Xuzhou army to deploy strong bows and crossbows behind the village gate.

, prepared for a sneak attack, and a large number of archers and crossbowmen were deployed, Deputy Director Tao also cursed...

"Zhang Fei is a thief! Your uncle Tao Ying is here, you have the guts to come over and fight me to the death! If you don't dare to come, you have lacked calcium since childhood and lacked love when you grew up. Your grandma doesn't love you and your uncle doesn't love you! The left side of your cheek needs a twitch.

The right cheek deserves a kick! The donkey kicks when the donkey sees it. The pig sees the pig and tramples it! You are an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, disrespectful, short-lived and short-sighted coward! You don’t learn how to be mean! There are so many mean moves, but you choose to learn the meanest ones.

!Tie bitch, you don’t want to learn, go and learn! Your bright smile will make wolves hang themselves! Your gentle cry will make chickens fly! Your cool and unrestrained stance will fill the air with stench! You will sweat with excitement and suffer from lice.

! If you don’t dress up, you’re uglier than a ghost! When you dress up, the ghost will be scared to death————!”

"Hahahahaha!" Even though Lu Su had already experienced Tao Ying's poisonous tongue skills, he was always steady and calm. He couldn't help but laugh out loud at Tao Ying's series of curses. The Xuzhou generals below the sentry tower laughed even more.

Many people laughed and cried. The laughter hurt their stomachs. However, Tao Ying on the sentry tower did not even blink an eyelid and continued to curse incessantly, "Zhang Fei, the dog thief, you were born

Haven't you been thrown out three times but only caught twice? Your teeth are like the stars in the sky, bright in color and far apart! When your mother takes you shopping, people ask: Mom, how much did you buy your orangutan?

of?!"

"Tao Ying, little thief——! Little thief————!"

Unfortunately, he encountered Deputy Director Tao in provoking a scolding war. Poor Mr. Zhang has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. Not only did he fail to anger Deputy Director Tao, who was thicker than the city wall, but Mr. Zhang, who was the first to provoke a scolding war, did not.

He was so excited that he flew into a rage. With his eyes full of smoke, Mr. Zhang threw away Yan Jiang Shiqi who came to stop him. He straightened up his snake spear and used his war horse. He rushed towards Tao Ying desperately, roaring like thunder.

, "You little thief Tao Ying! Die!" The Liu Beijun soldiers behind were all shocked and rushed over.

Of course, Tao Jun's crossbowmen who were ambushing behind the fence quickly told Mr. Zhang not to quarrel with Deputy Director Tao. Xu Sheng waved his flag, and thousands of Tao Jun's crossbowmen went into chaos.

Arrows were fired, and the poor soldiers of Liu Bei's army waved their round shields, and countless people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Mr. Zhang was also hit by two arrows in a row, and fled back in embarrassment. He retreated outside the shooting range and continued to curse.

The Xuzhou soldiers who followed were filled with joy and wildly laughed at Mr. Zhang’s lack of composure and Liu Bei’s army’s embarrassment.

"Still unwilling to leave? Are you really here to die? Or are you determined to lure the enemy?" Tao Ying blinked his triangular eyes and calculated. Suddenly he saw several soldiers of Liu Bei's army who were seriously injured by arrows rolling in a pool of blood. Tao Ying suddenly had a plan in his mind.

He got off the sentry tower and called Xu Chu, and told Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, you lead a thousand troops out of the camp to fight Zhang Fei, but you must remember that you are allowed to fight and retreat, but you are not allowed to pursue. If Zhang Fei is defeated, no matter the chance,

No matter how good it is, no pursuit is allowed without my order! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"

"Got the order!" Xu Chu happily went down to organize the army. Tao Yingze called the veteran Yuan Zhong, pointed at the wounded soldiers of Liu Bei's army rolling in a pool of blood and ordered: "General Yuan, General Xu will come out in a moment.

After the battle in the stronghold, you immediately lead people to arrest the wounded enemy soldiers and interrogate them as to why Zhang Fei came here alone to challenge the battle. If you ask for a confession, report it to me immediately, but remember, interrogate them separately and do not give them a collusive confession.

Opportunity."

"No." Yuan Zhong agreed respectfully and murmured in his heart: "Our new envoy in Xuzhou is really cunning and suspicious to the extreme. He even pays attention to details such as preventing collusion. My old master has been kind and honest all his life.

How could you give birth to such a cunning son?"

Not a moment later, Xu Chu led his army out of the camp with a sharp steel sword in his hand. As soon as he and Zhang Fei's team met, he slapped his horse and attacked with his sword without saying a word. Zhang Fei didn't say a word, but he straightened up his snake spear and started fighting with Xu Chu.

In one place, Tao Ying led the generals to watch the battle at the camp gate. Yuan Zhong also led a dozen people to capture several wounded soldiers of Liu Bei's army, and interrogated them separately without mentioning the military situation.

The general battle between Xu Chu and Zhang Fei is naturally one of the pinnacle duels in the Three Kingdoms era. The two generals fought endlessly with swords and spears in the formation. It is true that their swords are powerful enough to break mountains, and their spears are also powerful.

The rocks were broken, the horses' hooves were everywhere, ghosts and gods were howling, and now the anger should bleed, the shouts shook the world, and the murderous aura filled the bullfight! The Xuzhou soldiers who had always been weak in the fight were dizzy and frightened, and the well-informed Liu Beijun soldiers

Everyone was amazed, saying that they had never seen a fiercer battle in their lives than this.

When Generals Xu and Zhang fought for seventy or eighty rounds, Yuan Zhong also came to Tao Ying with the prisoner's confessions and reported to Tao Yingzou: "I have reported to my lord, the confessions have come out, and several prisoners have confessed that Zhang

Feipifu secretly led his troops out of the camp to fight with our army last night. Several prisoners also said that the ring-eyed thief is not angry. My lord, you have repeatedly threatened to cut off the big-eared thief's head and asked the big-eared thief to fight with our army.

When he was rejected again, he quietly led his troops southward overnight to fight with our army."

Because he had been brainwashed too much by the great master Luo Guanzhong, Tao Ying, who was well aware of Zhang Sanye's violent temper, heard such a confession. He immediately believed it to be true and ordered without hesitation: "Tao Ji, Sun Guan listen to the order, you each lead your troops out.

Camp, Sun Guan's troops will be divided into two groups to outflank the two wings of the Ring-Eyed bandits. Tao Ji, you lead the gentleman's army out of the camp from the west gate and go back to capture the Ring-Eyed bandit's back!"

"No!" Tao Ji and Sun Guan happily clasped their fists and agreed, and quickly went down to lead their troops who had already assembled on standby to fight. Over there, Lu Su smiled and said: "My lord, General Zhongkang is having a great time, I'm afraid he will complain to my lord again.

Already."

"I'll wrong him again. I only want to win and don't like taking risks." Tao Ying replied with a smile.

After a while, Sun Guan took the lead and led 3,000 Langya soldiers out of the camp. The soldiers divided into two groups and surrounded the two wings of Zhang Fei's team. Zhang Fei's army, which only had 500 or 600 people, was frightened and kept screaming. Zhang Fei was also a little flustered and sold out.

Xu Chu, who was about to kill him, turned around and left without hesitation. He immediately raised his troops and chased him. Sun Guan, who had not yet completed the double-teaming, refused to miss the opportunity to make a meritorious deed. He also raised his troops and chased him without blinking an eye.

Tao Ji, who went out to camp, was even more greedy for credit. He also led Tao Ying's most precious army of gentlemen to pursue him. Seeing this, Tao Ying cursed Xu Chu for resisting the order, so he had to quickly send a horse to convey the order to all the armies.

The three generals Xu Chu, Sun Guan and Tao Ji were not allowed to pursue them in order to avoid being ambushed.

After receiving Tao Ying's order, Sun Guan and Tao Ji had no choice but to stop the pursuit, but Xu Chu said that they could not hold him back, and even said that he would come back and apologize to Tao Ying. Tao Ying cursed and had no choice but to leave Lu behind.

Su and Xu Sheng guarded the camp, and personally led two generals, Tao Ji and Sun Guan, to pursue Xu Chu. They planned to bring back Xu Chu, the most aggressive and violent Xu Chu in the Xuzhou army.

They chased Xu Chu for more than 20 miles in one breath, and finally caught Xu Chu's horse rein. Tao Ying, furious, was about to whip his whip at Xu Chu who resisted the order to pursue. Suddenly, dust and smoke billowed from the northwest. More than two thousand infantry lined up and rushed over. The first two were

The generals were none other than Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who hated each other with Deputy Director Tao. Liu Bei shouted from afar: "Third brother! Third brother! Are you okay?!"

"The big-eared thief is here too?" Tao Ying's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: "Did the big-eared thief find out that Zhang Fei led his troops out of the camp privately and quickly come over and lead the army to rescue him? If that's the case, this will actually expand the results of the battle.

Great opportunity. However, you still have to be careful of ambush."

At this time, Liu Bei's reinforcements had merged with Zhang Fei's defeated troops. Perhaps seeing that Zhang Fei was unharmed and only slightly injured, Liu Bei immediately ordered a retreat, ordered Guan Yu to retreat, and then pulled Zhang Fei and led his army to run north. Seeing this

In the scene, Tao Ying first stopped and wanted to chase Xu Chu, and then shouted at Tao Ji: "Lead the gentleman army up, shoot the big-eared thieves with arrows at the rear, catch a few enemies injured by arrows, stop the pursuit immediately!

Bring the captives and I will interrogate them myself!"

Tao Ji loudly agreed, raised his sword and gave the order, leading the neatly formed Gentleman Army to charge forward, constantly drawing his bow and firing arrows to kill the fleeing Liu Beijun. Guan Yu, who was in the rear, had suffered countless heavy losses from the Gentleman Army, and he knew that in this kind of situation,
