The next day.
Gao Pei was about to put on his armor and set off. Song Zhen walked in with his inner armor: "General, the situation of assassinating Liu Bei this time is complicated. Among the Chu army, there are Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who are powerful. After the assassination is successful, it may be difficult to escape. This inner armor is just in case of emergency.”
Looking at the inner armor in Gao Pei's hand, Gao Pei took it and looked at it carefully, with a happy smile on his face: "Yes, it is a good armor. You are also interested, so I will put it on."
With that said, Song Zhen took off his outer armor and immediately helped him put on his inner armor.
While wearing it, he said: "General, I have selected thirty good players from the camp. They all have some real skills. After entering the enemy's camp, no matter what, we cannot leave you for three steps. If there is a change, we can quickly Get away.”
Gao Pei smiled and said: "Why are you so careful? Does Liu Bei still want to kill us?"
Song Zhen said: "I think Liu Bei has a smile but a black heart and is a hypocrite. When he returns to Chu, he will definitely show his fangs and seize our Shu land. When he reaches the enemy's stronghold, he may be harmed, so he is like this."
After thinking about it carefully, Gao Pei couldn't laugh anymore: "If it's true as you said, I will die if I go here!"
Song Zhen nodded: "So you need to be more careful."
Gao Pei: "Well, I will go and discuss with General Yang right now. Bring more troops and horses, and send a thousand cavalry as support. If there is a change in the army, you can come quickly to greet it."
When he said that, he put on his armor and took Song Zhen there.
When Yang Huai heard this, his face darkened. After careful consideration, he ordered three thousand cavalry to accompany him and two thousand to support him outside the stronghold at any time.
After the arrangements were completed, we headed to Liu Bei's military base.
Liu Bei's military camp.
Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty, if Yang Huai and Gao Peiruo come happily, we need to be on guard. If they don't come, the cavalry will attack the pass quickly without hesitation. The terrain of Jianmen Pass is dangerous and difficult to defend, so we can only take advantage of it. The one who attacks unprepared has a chance of winning.”
At this moment, a strange wind suddenly blew into the tent and rolled the commander's flag to the ground.
Liu Bei asked in horror: "What sign is this?"
Chen Gong was horrified and thought quickly in his mind: "This is a warning. Yang Huai and Gao Pei must have the intention of assassinating him, so he should be on guard against it."
So Liu Bei put on his armor and took his sword for defense.
And Chen Gong was still thinking about the strange wind just now. This wind came so strangely that the paper in the account was not blown up. It was blowing Liu Bei's flag flying in all directions. Could it be...
Chen Gong didn't dare to think about it any more.
At this time, soldiers from outside the military camp came into the tent and reported: "The guards at Jianmen Pass, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, have come to see us off."
Chen Gong immediately stood up and told Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun: "No matter how many men and horses are locked up, none of the horse and infantry troops will be released, nor will they be allowed to enter the tent."
The two of them were ordered to go.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei brought a thousand troops and horses, led sheep and served wine, and came to the military tent. They saw Liu Bei and Chen Gong sitting inside. Yang Huai and Gao Pei met their eyes and walked toward the tent.
As soon as they arrived at the door, Xu Sheng stopped Song Zhen and others behind him and said: "The two generals can enter the tent, but the guards are not allowed to enter."
Yang Huai and Gao Pei suddenly became vigilant and said, "In that case, you can step back, Song Zhen and Chen Da, and you two can come in."
Xu Sheng stopped him: "Except for the two generals, no one else is allowed to enter."
When Yang Huai heard the news from outside the tent, he squinted at Liu Bei in the tent and said slowly: "Since there are many conditions in King Chu's tent, a certain family will not enter. The farewell gift has been sent, and there are important matters of city defense in Guanzhong. I won't stay any longer, I'll take my leave first." As he said this, he raised his hand and bowed slightly to Liu Bei in the tent before going back and forth.
Jianmen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If these two people go back alive, it will be difficult to attack the pass. Liu Bei immediately stood up and laughed: "Hahaha, the two generals are too worried, please take account."
Yang Huai and Gao Pei's eyes met, and then they led the people into the tent. Yang Huai and Gao Pei sat on the right side of the men, Song Zhen and Chen brothers stood behind, and thirty elite guards stood outside the tent ready at all times.
Yang Huai said with a smile: "I heard that the King of Chu has returned from afar, so I sent him a small gift."
Liu Bei said: "It is difficult for the two generals to guard the pass. You should drink this glass of wine first."
Their eyes met, and they raised their glasses but did not drink. Gao Pei said: "Now the Jingwu coalition forces are attacking Chu, and the military situation is urgent. I dare not disturb you." When he said that, they both stood up at the same time, and touched the Dagger, "Don't pass here. When you pass the customs tomorrow, you should be released."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "In that case, thank you both..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Gong, who was on the opposite side, saw that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were about to take action and scolded: "Come and I will take down these two thieves."
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who were hiding behind the tent, responded and rushed in with more than fifty people. Xu Sheng outside immediately drew his sword and killed the more than thirty people outside.
Something happened suddenly.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei were startled at first, then reacted quickly and drew their swords to kill Liu Bei directly. Song Zhen and the Chen brothers reacted faster and quickly drew their swords to intercept Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.
For a while.
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were intercepted, and there were no guards around Liu Bei. Yang Huai and Gao Pei went to kill them, and hurriedly drew their swords to parry. The thirty people outside were all carefully selected masters. They broke through Xu Sheng's troops and rushed into the tent to fight with fifty swordsmen and axemen.
Song Zhen led Chen San and Chen Wu to fight Zhao Yun; Chen Da led Chen Er and Chen Si to fight Huang Zhong. Although Zhao Yun and Huang Zhongzhong were strong, they could not display their power in the small military tent and were surrounded by three people. Blocking the attack, they watched anxiously as Liu Bei was beaten by Yang Huai and Gao Pei and couldn't resist. They became even more anxious and their sword skills were messed up.
Zang Ba heard the commotion inside and immediately rushed into the tent. Seeing that Liu Bei was in critical condition, he immediately rushed over and intercepted Yang Huai, giving Liu Bei a chance to breathe.
The Guanzhong garrison outside heard the commotion inside and immediately rushed into the military camp on horseback. Liu Bei's army didn't understand what was happening at all. It didn't matter whether they stopped or not. They were stunned on the spot, but they couldn't get orders from their generals.
"General, leave quickly!"
When Song Zhen saw Zang Ba rushing in, he immediately left to assist Gao Pei and Liu Bei. Liu Bei was forced to retreat continuously. Taking this opportunity, Song Zhen rushed out with Gao Pei.
Seeing that Liu Bei was being forced to retreat, Zhao Yun felt anxious and fought hard to fight off Chen San and Chen Wu. He rushed in front of Liu Bei to protect him, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time.
Chen Da and others immediately left.
Only a dozen of the more than thirty elites were left, protecting everyone and rushing out of the military tent. Outside the tent, the cavalry rushed under the tent at the critical moment. Xu Sheng could not resist, but he did not dare to let the cavalry rush into the tent, so he had no choice but to block it.
At this time, Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others rushed out of the military tent, pushed back Xu Sheng's troops, then hurriedly got on their horses and left surrounded by cavalry.
"Hurry up and chase them. We must not let them escape back." Seeing that they were about to escape, Chen Gong immediately ordered.
Huang Zhong rushed out with his sword in hand. As soon as he turned his head, he saw his own cavalry getting ready to go. He immediately rushed over and mounted his horse: "Follow me and kill!"
Immediately he galloped his horse and whip, rushed out, closely chasing after Yang Huai and others.
At this time, Zhang Xiu had long expected that there would be a big battle in Liu Bei's military tent today, and he led a thousand Jingqian troops around the path to between the two armies.
At this time, Zhang Gan came to report: "Your Majesty, the Chu army is chasing the Shu army, less than ten miles away from here."
Zhang Xiu nodded: "The whole army is ready."
