Chapter 166 Lantian Battle (2)

Li Jue finally decided to take the initiative and sent an envoy to Pei Qing's camp to invite Pei Qing to lead his army to a open area at the junction of Lantian and Shang County. In order to avoid Pei Qing making excuses to refuse to go, Li Jue also deliberately gave Pei Qing a set of women's clothes and asked the envoy to tell Pei Qing that if he didn't go, he would not be embarrassed, just need Pei Qing to wear this set of women's clothes.

Pei Qing was furious when he heard this, "Li Zhiran looked down on me, Pei Qing so much? Isn't it just a decisive battle? Isn't it? I will definitely lead the army to go there in three days and ask him to wash his neck and wait for me!"

Pei Qing then ordered the soldiers of the three armies to prepare for their troops and prepare for their decisive battle with the Western Liang army three days later, without regard to the military advisors who were desperately winking at him by Pei Qing's side...

"Haha, okay, Pei Qing's son is young and energetic after all, and cannot bear it. But that's true. Pei Qing is the leader of the coalition and the emperor's prospective brother-in-law. How can he endure humiliation and wear a woman's clothes with such an identity? Not to mention him, even anyone here would definitely not be able to withstand this humiliation. Since he has approved the decisive battle, we don't have to worry anymore. In three days, I will definitely let him see the strength of my Xiliang Army!"

Li Jue was overjoyed after hearing the news. He then ordered Ma Teng as the left-wing army, leading his eldest son Ma Chao, general Pang De, and Xiliang warlords Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and others to attack Pei Qing's right wing, Han Sui as the right-wing army, leading his son-in-law Yan Xing and Xiliang warlord Liang Xing, candidate Cheng Yin, Li Kan and others to attack Pei Qing's left wing. Li Jue led Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and more than 90,000 people to attack Pei Qing's middle wing. This battle concentrated nearly 180,000 troops, claiming to be 250,000, and only 5,000 people to stay in the camp, vowing to do his best to severely damage Pei Qing's army.

After this meeting, Jia Xu quietly found Zhu Fu and said to him: "Duke Zhu saved me."

Seeing this, Zhu Fu was immediately amused and said to Jia Xu: "Have you found the wrong person? I am just an ordinary lieutenant, how humble the 200,000 Xiliang army? Besides, our army has an absolute advantage in this battle. It is really a bit inexplicable that Mr. Jia said that he asked me to save you."

Jia Xu could only hear Jia Xu say lightly: "Although the number of soldiers in Xiliang is large, Xu dares to predict that our army will be defeated in this battle, so there is no problem asking for help. As for why Xu asked for help from the general, why should the general pretend to be confused? The last time in the battle of Luo, the general raised his arms and shouted, which directly led to the collapse of our army. This shows that the contact between the general and Mr. Pei is relatively close, so Xu believes that only the general can save me."

After hearing this, Zhu Fu was shocked. He really didn't expect that his affairs would be clearly understood by him. The reason why he did not immediately choose to surrender to Pei Qing in the previous battle was mainly because he was self-reliant to do things without any leakage. No one would find that he was related to the defeat of the army, but now that he was in danger.

But Zhu Fu certainly would not admit it, so he denied it: "What does sir mean? My father is still in the army, how could I do such a thing? Besides, I am humble in the army and have little prestige. How could I directly collapse our army with just a few words? Not to mention me, even if the sir shouts a few times, can our soldiers be defeated directly?"

"I have also thought about this question. It is precisely because Ling Zun is in the Xiliang army that others will not doubt you. As for the lack of prestige you mentioned, this is indeed a problem. But if you have the ability to transform yourself in Pei's hand, it may not be too difficult to make you do this. I guess the reason why Pei's envoy, the scholar named Xie, came to you to persuade you to surrender and help you solve this problem?"

"Do you even know this?" Zhu Fu believed it immediately after hearing Jia Xu say this. He immediately pulled out his sword and said lightly: "But you can't threaten me. As long as I kill you, my secret will be enough to save it."

"Haha, of course I would have expected this, so I had already agreed with my nephew Jia Gong that once I couldn't come back, I would ask him to report the investigation results and my destination to Li Zhiran. At that time, I'm afraid that even your father and brother would die, right?"

"Haha, I was just a joke before," Zhu Fu knew that he could not do anything to Jia Xu, so he had to say with a dry smile: "Mr. Fu Zaizhi was disappointed with the Xiliang Army. Since Mr. Fu was willing to believe me and hiding me, I was of course willing to do my best to ensure Mr.'s safety. Since that's the case, Mr. Hu only needs to find a way to bring Baojun to our army with him."

"So, thank you General. Ling Zun is now being watched by Li Jue very much, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out. I wonder if Xu needs help?" Jia Xu smiled faintly and asked.

"No need," Zhu Fu smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he had a bad relationship with Zhu Yi, he was a father and son after all. How could he ignore it at a critical moment? So he told Zhu Yi that he had surrendered to Pei Qing one night and advised Zhu Yi to leave with him.

After hearing about this, Zhu Yan's impression of Zhu Fu changed drastically. He felt that it was his blessing to be favored by Pei Qing. However, Zhu Yan refused to leave, and even refused to let Zhu Hao leave. He said that he had a way to protect himself so that Zhu Fu would not have to worry, and asked Zhu Fu to assist Pei Qing well.

At this moment, the Kanto Alliance Army was immediately furious after hearing the news. Liu Qi, Kong Rong, Liu He and others all changed their faces, and even Liu Bei's expression became very unnatural. Although they claimed to be a 100,000 army, they actually only had 50,000 people. Even if Chen Dao's 7,000 people and the Feixiong Army led by Li Su who had just arrived, there were no 70,000 people. Although the other side could not have a 250,000 army, there were still 200,000 people. The number of people on both sides was close to one against three, which was really unsure.

"Hehe, look at your cowardly appearance. When we attacked Shangluo, we were 50,000 and 100,000. Didn't we win the same way? But we still won? Although there were more enemies and more people in this battle, we would still fight against two. What's so scary?" Seeing the expressions of the leaders, Zhang Fei's face was full of disdain and he said with a loud laugh.

Since Pei Qing agreed to help create the Romance version of Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's attitude towards Pei Qing has taken a 180-degree turn. He spoke politely, and his tone was even more flattering. Now, in order to show his bravery and calmness, he directly mocked the leaders.

However, Liu Bei was very anxious because Zhang Fei's ridicule was not just one person, and he offended several princes at once. The good interpersonal relationship he had worked hard to establish was directly destroyed by him.

So Liu Bei shouted, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. The generals are just a little worried about the situation, but they are not afraid. After all, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. There are so many unpredictable factors in each battle. The generals did not expect to win. What's wrong with the defeat first?"

"Hehe, I'm just talking casually." Zhang Fei didn't dare to talk back to Liu Bei. He said a few words awkwardly, and then stopped talking, but the disdain in his eyes was still very obvious.

At this time, Liu He asked Guan Yu again: "I don't know what General Guan thinks?"

Guan Yu glanced at Xian Yu Fu, and then said lightly: "Although the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, someone regards it as if nothing is needed, it's a pity that a certain sword has not been refined yet and his sword skills are not proficient, which makes it difficult to win the number of killings in this battle. However, someone will definitely assassinate several enemy generals and ask for credit for the leader of the alliance."
