It was an elaborate conspiracy.

Three attacks, all in carefully designed locations. The northern road is close to the border plug. Because of the rise of Xianbei, it has been Koubian for many years. The people of the border counties were unbearable and moved their families south. Although Chidao is cultivated every year, the people are getting fewer and fewer. It is that the front is not next to the village, and the back is not to touch the store. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away. The border army can only guard important checkpoints, and can only let the large wasteland along the road go. Just like the beacon that was burned down by Xianbei. Without people, there is no output. If there is no output, how can we replenish? Such a long supply line is really unsustainable by military vehicles alone. Once you encounter a bandit, you can't save it. In the long run, it can only be damaged and abandoned.

Time is also painstakingly designed. First night raids, then road raids. Galloping all the way during the day, it is the people who are sleepy and lacking. When you move into a house, vigilance is minimized. The fourth watch day is also a time of deep sleep. Close the door and set it on fire. The entire building was set on fire. The convoy of the township was all burned in flames. There is no proof of death. As for the whereabouts of the horseshoe gold cake in the car, there is no way to find out.

Even Liu Bei felt. The beacon dug a hole and attacked at night, and the carriage rushed on the road. Both attacks, both prepared for tonight.

Originally, everything was fine. Even Shi Lian, who has the most experience in the rivers and lakes, did not feel any different. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei saw through it.

Because. The young prince is prepared for this undercurrent hidden under the prosperity of Shengping every day. There has never been any slackness.

When he saw the moment the sand was long, Liu Bei's hair suddenly stood on end. When he was young, an icy eyeball also made his cold hair stand on end.

The coachman and the guards in the bunk were asleep. The thieves, who pretended to be officials of all sizes, immediately sealed the doors and windows, piled up firewood, and poured pine oil. Dozens of people with sharp knives in their hands, torches held high. Outside the courtyard walls, there were also crossbowmen who had quietly arrived.

"Don't let one go." The one-eyed bandit leader, rushing left and right and shouting.

"Whoa!"

After months of planning, today it has finally come to fruition. Bold words and ambitions are like a fish in the throat, and they don't vomit or be unhappy. The one-eyed bandit leader suddenly raised his sword: "The sky is dead!" ”

"Huang Tian should stand!" The roar was deafening.

Presumably, the villagers and others have woken up. But that's it. It's hard to get out.

As his gaze swept over, the bandits holding torches held high stepped forward one after another, ready to light the firewood.

Without warning. Arrows rained down on the roof.

I don't know when, the Linxiang Tiger Ben actually climbed to the roof!

The fire-raising bandits were shot and died tragically. The leader of the one-eyed bandit was hit by several arrows in his body, and when he was desperately dragged out from left and right, he was still screaming madly: "Arson!" Arson! ”

The backyard hooves thundered.

Xu Rong and Cheng Pu took the lead, killing left and right. The knife fell on this side, and the snake spear danced wildly over there. One hundred dragon riders, one hundred tiger riders, like thunder. Fight your way through the crowd. The severed limbs were thrown off, and the blood collapsed like rain. Chop melons and vegetables and chop up all the remnants of the enemy. chased after the fleeing one-eyed bandit leader and ran away.

Liu Bei had already seen it when he checked in. It is a typical Han style brick and wood structure. The house is on the second floor. The tops are covered with tiles. Wooden buildings do not collapse quickly when they catch fire. Beams, such as the beams that support the roof, are also very resistant to burning. When they caught fire, they were mostly choked by the smoke and suffocated to death. Everyone wore new breathing masks and opened the roof in advance. Even if it is on fire, it can escape. That's how it adapts to change.

Wait for the bandit to say, "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." Liu Bei was sure of what he was thinking, and immediately ordered the roof embroiderers to attack.

Previously, he called Shi Jian into the Jingshe, which was to ask him to inform Xu Rong and Cheng Pu and act according to the plan.

In the face of several bloody battles, he dared to shake the Linxiang Tiger Ben ridden by King Xianbei when he won the victory. This rabble is powerless.

Shi Lian didn't bother to cut off his head.

Such miscellaneous soldiers can only be entered into the martial arts lord. Not a military meritorious.

Remove the firewood and wash all the pine oil. opened the doors and windows, and went down to the secret room from the forage warehouse, and rescued the officials in the house. Xu Rong and Cheng Pu, who were covered in blood, led the army to return. Relying on the sacrifice of the dead soldiers around him. The leader of the one-eyed bandit jumped into the river alone and disappeared. Most of them are not dead.

Anyway.

Eliminate the troubles in your heart, and the road should be calm.

Liu Bei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhi Chang, who escaped death, burst into tears, and knelt in front of Liu Bei with all the officials. Bow again and again. Jun Hou En's parents, how can he not be deeply grateful.

Liu Bei was relieved and ordered everyone to get up.

The officials in the center wiped away their tears and got up. Looking back on this day and night experience, I was terrified.

Liu Bei asked kindly. The officials rushed to answer. Knowing everything, saying everything. Originally. These officials are all locals. The family has long since moved into the county seat of Gaoliu. It is the duty to stay alone. Thinking of his wife and children at home, he could survive by luck, and he couldn't help crying.

Shi Lian came to report, you can go.

Liu Bei got up. The chief hurriedly reached the ground and said: I implore the prince to stay for half a day. Wait for the horse to report to the county, and then it's not too late to go.

The officials also knelt down and begged.

Seeing that Zhichang's face was embarrassed, Liu Bei woke up. A place of corpses, a yard full of blood. Matters. If there is no general Fu Han and Linxiang Marquis as a guarantor, how can a group of small officials explain it clearly. Once the convoy travels far away, there is no evidence. Shangguan blames it, how can he bear it.

Thinking of everyone's suffering, Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

The officials thanked him again and again.

The chief hurriedly ordered people to hurry up and rush to the county seat to report. Liu Bei also ordered Shi Jian to assist the officials in sorting out the corpses.

Such a bloody scene, how can ordinary fighting officials see it. The pungent smell of blood is faintly disgusting when you smell it from afar. How dare you come closer?

The embroiderer is dressed in embroidered clothes and armor, and he cherishes it very much. He was dressed in a cloak and a hat to cover the bloodstains, and carried the corpse without mentioning it.

It's almost noon.

The seven maids were about to prepare a meal, and the chief had already invited the prince to eat in the lobby outside the door.

Liu Bei nodded immediately. and let him go first, and he will arrive later.

Wait for Liu Bei to arrive on the first floor of the house. The hall was already full of food and wine. Although it is not rich, it is carefully prepared by the officials in the center. Liu Bei was invited to the main seat by the officials. The retainers who accompanied him lived in the west, and he asked him to live in the east.

The chief resigned again and again, and the officials of the center all sat down in the hall.

The food has been tested to be non-toxic. It's not that they don't trust the officials, it's a matter of routine. The body of the prince and the prince's daughter, the body of millions of people in the hometown. There is no room for error.

Seeing Liu Bei raise his glass, the central official sitting under the hall hurriedly got up to accompany him. Drink with the kings and ministers of the hometown.

After three rounds of drinking, the two sides gradually got acquainted. There was a small official who dared to enter the hall and saluted the townspeople. Liu Bei also drank it with a smile.

The little official was convinced. The gratitude is palpable. Then he drank the wine in his cup and bowed down.

After returning to their seats, all colleagues raised their glasses to each other. This situation and this scene can be said to be with the younger generations. Ancestor I once entered the room in front of the hall and saluted the heroes of the Northland!

Although the officials in the center were eager to try, no one dared to get up. Seeing that his colleagues were all looking at him, he got up, picked up the pot and cup in front of him, and bowed inside.

"Dare to ask the prince, can you allow the official to toast?"

"Why not?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Then he stepped forward with a pot and poured it for Liu Bei first. and retreated into the hall, and filled his cup for himself. Follow the cup with both hands and drink it all.

Look up again. I saw Liu Bei smiling, but he didn't drink. Instead, he stared at the wine pot that he casually placed on the floor and asked with a smile: "Could this thing be the legendary 'Jiuqu Mandarin Duck Pot'?" ”
