Lu Bu said his calculations freely. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Liao and other subordinates suddenly realized that they thought that Lu Bu had suffered the loss of the potters in the arrow, but they didn't expect that Lu Bu would find a good opportunity from the bad things again.

"Father is handsome and wise, if that kid from the potter really dares to attack Liu Bei with all his might, then he will die, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot." Lu Lingji had an admiring expression on her face.

Chen Deng also showed a hint of wonder on his face, and arched his hand: "As Wen Hou said, this is indeed an opportunity to take Xuzhou completely, Wen Hou is clever." ”

Lu Bu smiled, a trace of pride swept up on his knife-cut face, and his eyes shot like a knife blade in the direction of the Tao Army camp in the south of the city, "Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for the fisherman to profit." ”

At the head of the city, there was laughter.

……

Three miles west of Picheng, on the bank of the Surabaya River, the camp of the Liu family.

Liu Bei and his 1,000 remnants of his army were stationed here, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, all of whom were anxiously waiting for Liu Bei's return.

The two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, stood at the camp gate and looked forward to it.

Finally, Liu Bei rode back with a relieved and relaxed smile, and the soldiers of the whole battalion were relieved to see him like this, thinking that the result of this meeting was that Lu Bu overwhelmed the potter, and they would continue to be protected by Wen Hou from being pursued by the potter's boy.

Liu Bei returned to the big tent with a smile, and as soon as he entered the tent, his smile instantly became gloomy, and he said with a solemn expression: "Yun Chang, Yide, you quickly clean up, and then go to inform Jian Yong, we will abandon the camp tonight, only take a dozen personal soldiers, and evacuate Xuzhou by water." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan and Zhang were immediately full of color, and suddenly became suspicious.

"Big brother, this meeting has been discussed, why do we have to flee Xuzhou?" Zhang Fei asked in a loud voice.

"Be quiet!"

Liu Bei put his finger in front of his mouth, made a silent movement, and quietly lowered the curtain, but only then sighed in a low voice: "Shicai's expression is just afraid that the soldiers will know the truth and the army's morale will collapse, in fact, Lu Bu didn't talk about that kid, he has decided to stand by." ”

Boom - a thunderbolt fell in the air, causing the two brothers to be shocked and stunned, their faces full of disbelief, they couldn't figure out how with Lu Bu's might, they would be forced to make concessions by the potters.

Liu Bei sighed again, and then when they met, the two sides competed with arrows, and Lu Bu lost to Li Guang in the pottery merchant department.

After hearing this, Guan Zhang and the others calmed down and fell into shock again.

"First of all, Lian Po's old horseman was very good at martial arts, and then Li Guang came out, and his divine shot surpassed Lu Bu, how many strange people did that kid from the potter collect?" Guan Yu was furious with a bare face and muttered to himself.

The two brothers were shocked for a moment, Zhang Fei first sobered up from his shock, and said puzzledly: "Even if we want to withdraw, we should also withdraw with these thousand brothers, why did the eldest brother leave them?" ”

Liu Bei sighed again, his old face was full of helplessness, as if there was something unspeakable.

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, stroked his beautiful hair, and said silently: "The scouts of the pottery merchant traitors must have spread all over my camp at this moment, if we retreat with the whole army, the little traitor will definitely attack immediately, and we will be dragged down at that time." ”

Zhang Fei's figure shook suddenly, and he understood Liu Bei's true intentions.

His eldest brother wanted to attract the attention of the potters at the cost of sacrificing more than a thousand soldiers, so as to cover the silent escape of the three brothers.

Zhang Fei was silent, he didn't say anything about Liu Bei's decision, but the silence meant that he didn't agree with this approach from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei, sighed again, his gray face wrinkled into folds, and unbearable tears filled up in his sunken eyes, "These soldiers have been following the eldest brother for a long time, and the eldest brother treats them as brothers and sisters, if it weren't for the great cause of supporting the Han family, to keep a useful body, I would rather fight with them on the battlefield and live and die together......"

Liu Bei's voice was full of emotion, and when he talked about the sad place, he couldn't help but cry.

Big brother looks like this, how can Zhang Fei not be moved, and soon sighed: "Big brother, don't blame yourself anymore, we all understand your difficulties, big brother, for the great cause of supporting the Han family, let alone sacrificing a few soldiers, even if the eldest brother wants to sacrifice my old Zhang, I will never blame the eldest brother." ”

Liu Bei restrained his tears, hugged Zhang Fei, and said with relief: "Yide, you can understand the hardships of the eldest brother, the eldest brother will be satisfied, our three brothers have sworn to live and die together, how can the eldest brother sacrifice you to survive, if it really comes to that day, the eldest brother will die with you." ”

Zhang Fei was moved by these words, his nose was sour, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a little tears.

Guan Yu was naturally moved in his heart, but he was not as emotional as Zhang Fei, he quickly calmed down and asked, "Big brother, where will we go after we withdraw from Xuzhou?" ”

"Go to Xudu and defect to Cao Cao." As soon as Liu Bei spoke, he felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately changed his words: "No, we are not going to Cao Cao, we are going to the Son of Heaven." ”

……

When Liu Bei fled back to the camp in disgrace, the pottery merchant was also taking his two hundred soldiers and returning to the camp five miles away in high spirits.

Along the way, the soldiers were full of praise for Li Guang's archery skills, and even Fan Xu, who had never understood how to praise people, was also amazed by Li Guang.

Before dusk, the potters returned to the camp.

As soon as she entered the big tent, the hanging heart of the left-behind Hua Mulan was put down, and she hurriedly asked the potters what the results of the meeting were.

Without waiting for the potter to speak, Fan Xu pointed at Li Guang and said: "Madam, Lao Fan, I will give you a grand introduction, it is this Li Shenji, who frightened Lu Bu with an arrow, and scared Lu Bu to protect Liu Bei anymore." ”

Hua Mulan was in the clouds, her pretty face was full of surprise, and she didn't understand what he said, so she couldn't help but look at the potter.

The potter told him how to choose Li Guang, so that he could outcompete Lu Bu with arrows, and told Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be amazed at Li Guang, a newcomer who had just been promoted by the potter.

"I said Li Guang, I saw our wife, and I didn't see you yet." Fan Hao was a little unhappy when he saw that Li Guang looked like a wooden stake.

Li Guang still didn't say a word, and only bowed his hand to Mulan, which was regarded as a salute.

Fan Xu couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "I've never seen you say a word from beginning to end, you're a dumb person." ”

"I'm not dumb." Li Guang glared at him and finally spoke.

"Ouch, it's really not dumb." Fan Xu was startled by him, but said: "Since you are not dumb, you should say a few more words, and you will not be less meat." ”

Li Guang closed his mouth again and continued to be silent.

"First a foodie, then a drunkard, and now he summoned a three-stick man who couldn't make a fart, and sure enough, how strange the temperament of a talented person is......"

The potter sighed for a while in his heart, and suddenly his expression suddenly became murderous, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, now is not the time to talk nonsense." Lu Bu must want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, we can't give him this opportunity, tonight Fan Xu led 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp to prevent Lu Bu from taking the opportunity to stab him in the back, and the rest of the men and horses attacked Liu Bei's camp with me at night, and quickly fought and destroyed the big-eared thief. ”

The spirit of the generals immediately tensed.

"Husband, it's not wrong to guard against Lu Bu, our army has just arrived in Xiapi, why rush to attack Liu Bei, let the soldiers rest and recuperate before fighting."

The corners of the potter's mouth raised a sneer, "Madam, you don't know Liu Bei well enough, this big-eared thief is best at escaping, and now that the situation is unfavorable, he probably has the intention of escaping, we must kill him before he smears oil on the soles of his feet!"
