Chapter 59: Don’t run away, Ring-eyed thief, fight me to the death!
Liu Bei made full use of the advantage of his long arms and quickly stopped Zhang Fei's horse reins to prevent Zhang Fei from going forward.
Ever since Guan Yu wanted to kill Hua Xiong but was killed by him instead, tragically losing his second brother, Liu Bei has paid more attention to Zhang Fei and paid more attention to protecting him.
Especially when it comes to Hua Xiong.
If he had been able to stop his second brother Guan Yu from signing a military order when they were in the princes' camp, he would not have died...
Now, Hua Xiong had just killed Sun Jian, and his two generals were in great power, and his record sounded scary.
How can this be the time to be impulsive?
Although Liu Bei was eager to avenge his second brother Guan Yu, he also knew that if he could kill Hua Xiong, who was in his prime at this time, it would surely allow his third brother and himself to soar to the sky!
Completely famous throughout the world.
However, he could only think about these in his mind.
At this moment, I really didn't dare to let my third brother do this.
He was worried that his third brother would become a victim of Hua Xiong's knife.
After a lot of persuasion, Liu Bei finally stopped Zhang Fei and apologized on behalf of Zhang Fei to the Sun Jian soldier who was glaring at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei's words were unintentional, as they came all the way here to rescue Governor Sun.
Persuade Sun Jian's soldiers to leave.
Otherwise, Liu Bei was really worried that this guy would say something like "coward" again, which would provoke Zhang Fei to go fight Hua Xiong again.
"Xuan De, what should we do now?"
Tao Qian's camp was first attacked by Hua Xiong, and he was defeated, which was a heavy blow.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei followed behind, chasing Hua Xiong together, hoping to regain some face.
As a result, before Hua Xiong caught up, he heard such horrifying news.
After suffering two consecutive blows, each one heavier than the last, Tao Qian was instantly frightened and wanted to retreat and stay away from Hua Xiong.
Compared with Bao Xin and Sun Jian who died at the hands of Hua Xiong, it seemed nothing shameful for someone like him who was able to survive an ambush by Hua Xiong.
But he didn't want to talk about withdrawing troops.
After all, he is also an important figure and needs to maintain some face.
So the problem was thrown to Liu Bei.
As for Liu Bei, regardless of his level of military strategy, tactics, and knowledge, his emotional intelligence was extremely high.
When he heard Tao Qian's question, he understood what Tao Qian meant.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Master Tao, the villain is fierce and vicious. Governor Sun was killed. We have too few soldiers and horses to pursue him. Even if we catch up with him, it will not be easy to kill the villain Hua Xiong.
The villain Hua Xiong attacked the camp last night and caused quite a commotion. It is unlikely that Governor Sun was the only one who dispatched troops.
There must be other loyal and righteous people.
In Bei's opinion, it would be better to stop here and wait for the other loyal and righteous men to come and reunite with them before pursuing Hua Xiong.
I wonder what Mr. Tao thinks?"
"The rest of the people are cowards. They knew Hua Xiong had come out of the pass, so they were too busy trying to hide. How could they dare to lead troops here?
Even if someone dared to come, by the time they got here, Hua Xiong would have already run back to Sishui Pass!"
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, before Tao Qian could nod, Zhang Fei's loud voice rang out.
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and told him not to speak.
Tao Qian touched his beard, his expression unchanged, and automatically filtered out Zhang Fei's voice.
He nodded and said, "Xuan De 's words are sound, Hua Xiong's colleagues are indeed fierce.
With too few people, they were afraid that they would not be able to win the battle, but they were unwilling to leave.
The best strategy is to wait here for the rest of the troops to arrive, and then move forward together..."
Tao Qian actually wanted to leave at this moment, but since Liu Bei said so, he couldn't bring himself to say goodbye.
I had no choice but to agree.
I also feel that there shouldn't be any danger in waiting here.
Hua Xiong has already defeated the powerful Sun Jian's army and beheaded Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha. This place is quite far away from Sishui Pass. Hua Xiong, who has already gained enough credit, should stop while he is ahead.
No matter how brave you are, it is impossible to turn back.
Thinking of this, I felt much calmer.
When Liu Bei saw that Tao Qian agreed with his opinion, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
His thoughts were similar to Tao Qian's. They both felt that Hua Xiong would not be able to lead his troops back under the current circumstances. If they stopped here, they would have both the money and face saved.
He took out a water bag from his arms and handed it to Tao Qian: "Master Tao, have a drink of water."
The water bag was placed in his arms, and the water inside was still warm. Tao Qian thanked him, reached out to take it, and felt more and more pleasing to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
I pulled out the cork and took two sips when I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
He turned his head suddenly and saw the scout that Liu Bei had just sent out to gather information running back.
Before they arrived, they had already shouted loudly: "Hua Xiong is coming with his cavalry!
Hua Xiong is coming with his cavalry!!"
The voice sounded panicked.
Tao Qian's whole body trembled, he was shocked, and then he spat out a mouthful of water, spraying Zhang Fei's face.
Then he couldn't help but started coughing violently.
Apparently he was choked by the water.
Not only Tao Qian, everyone was extremely shocked.
I really didn't expect that Hua Xiong would be so bold that he actually dared to lead his troops to fight back at this time!
Hasn't he already gained enough military merit?
"Xuan De, ahem...what should we do now?"
Tao Qian, whose face was red and neck was thick from coughing, tried hard to resist the urge to ride his horse and run away, and looked at Liu Bei anxiously asking.
"Let's just go and meet them...uh..."
As soon as Zhang Fei's voice rang out, he was glared back by Liu Bei.
She could only wipe the water sprayed by Tao Qian on her face with her hands and glared at Tao Qian fiercely.
"We have few soldiers, and the enemy is taking advantage of their victory and is very aggressive. It would be unwise to fight them head-on.
Now, the best option is to leave.
It's just the right time to lure the enemy deeper.
Hua Xiong is just a lone soldier. If we chase him too far, he won't be able to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Qian nodded repeatedly.
This young man has a very useful brain!
"Yes! Lure the enemy deeper!"
He spoke out loud.
Then he rode away with Liu Bei and his men.
When facing Hua Xiong, his favorite thing is to lure the enemy deep into his territory!
Zhang Fei also followed Liu Bei and rode away on horseback, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Now, we are riding away in a hurry. Isn't that just running away?
How did it become luring the enemy deeper?
In the rear, Hua Xiong and his cavalry were rapidly approaching.
After seeing Liu Bei's flag and the fleeing people, he immediately shouted: "Don't run away, you thief with round eyes! Stay and fight me to the death!"
