The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Listening to Yan Xing's self-report, he knew that he was under Liu Bei. Xianbei Tuqi immediately stirred. The centurion was about to raise his sword when he heard the sound of strings.

Bang!

The fire is blazing. The scimitar in his hand cracked with a sound. The splinters slashed across his cheeks, and for a moment the blood flowed like a waterfall. In the blink of an eye, half of his head and neck have been dyed red.

But the centurion did not move. Staring at the hand of the knife, his gaze was empty.

The turtle scimitar, after a hundred battles, is like a saw. Today is a crash.

The knife is in the person, and the knife is dead.

"Where is Tuoba Jiefen?" The voice is high and falling. When the centurion heard this, he raised his head and saw Liu Bei, who was wearing a red gold unicorn armor that had swallowed all the light, and was majestic.

Turn back the clock. It was as if he had returned to the White Sandalwood City. At that time, the Linxiang Marquis, who was still the captain of Hu Cai, also stood at the head of the city. The sword in his hand fell, and the blood-stained armor was stained. I don't know how many prairie boys have been killed.

"Your Excellency hasn't arrived." The centurion looked up at Liu Bei with a calm gaze. There seems to be an enlightenment in my heart.

"Seeing this, such as a big order in person. Why don't you get off your horse and avoid dying. Liu Bei sighed in his heart.

The centurion shook the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "The general, who has come all the way from Baitan City, must be as tired as me." After saying that, he turned over and dismounted. The backhand pulls out the spare scimitar from the waist. Step by step, he walked towards Yan, who was holding a battle flag.

Behind him, the riders shouted incessantly. The centurion stopped and replied in a loud voice.

Unload the burden of thousands of pounds, in exchange for a light body.

Then he stepped forward and picked up his sword, howling and throwing himself at the battle flag.

Yan Xing's drunken and hazy eyes suddenly became clear. Raise your sword on your chest and bow your head.

The centurion laughed happily and slashed head-on.

The wind cut his neck, and Yan Xinglang's eyes widened slightly.

The knife flashed.

The centurion froze a relieved face, split in two with his left and right bodies.

From both sides of the flame horn banner, pass by.

Pulling a long waterfall of blood, they each fell to the ground.

Yan Xing, who was splashed with a rain of blood, gave the loveless centurion the most neat relief.

Staring at the corpse of the centurion split in half. Xianbei Tuqi's face was full of respect. Punch your chest and salute immediately. Then they dismounted their swords and fell to their knees.

"The general is above, I am willing to go to the tent, and I am willing to be driven!"

"That's good." Liu Bei sighed. This group of Xianbei horsemen was about 500 people. Just put together a song and handed it over to the Tibetan tyrant. The centurion's last nonsense does not need to be translated: "I die, but I surrender." ”

Buried centurion. Liu Bei invited the remaining four centurions into the fort. Inquire about the whereabouts of Tuoba Jiefen and Tuoba Yu.

As soon as this team of Xianbei Raiders appeared, Liu Bei knew that things were not as simple as he thought. The number is too different. It's reasonable to think about it. It's just to plunder a caravan, why do you need 10,000 elite horsemen.

After questioning the four centurions, the previous judgment was more certain. According to the history of Liangzhou Thorn, there are more than 10,000 bald people who are fresh and humble. But this group of Xianbei Turquoise was only five hundred. Where are the rest of the riders?

Several centurions shook their heads. He said that he had not seen Tuoba Jiefen and Tuoba Yu for several months. And the only one who should cooperate with the Taiping Road and plunder the caravan is this group of 500 riders.

In other words. It was not only the Taiping Dao that secretly plundered the caravan under the guise of bald Xianbei. The bald Xianbei also used the name of plundering caravans to commit misdeeds. There were only 500 horsemen who plundered caravans in the Hexi Corridor. The remaining 10,000 horsemen rushed into the Hexi Corridor and disappeared.

Both sides use each other to have their own needs.

If the Taiping Road is a quest for wealth. What is Xianbei asking for?

Liu Beifang got into a huge conspiracy again. Alas, even Xianbei has learned the routine. You said that you are not good at riding horses and herding sheep, and you are studying the art of war.

Sure enough, people's hearts are not ancient......

Arrange for the four centurions to rest. Liu Bei then walked into the inner room.

Seeing the master Li Ru, he was playing with the scimitar of the centurion who died in battle.

"What did Wen You find?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.

Li Ru presented the scimitar to Liu Bei: "My lord, look at it." ”

The scimitar in the centurion's hand is shattered by the Soul Chaser. Then he drew his spare scimitar and dismounted. What Li Ru had in his hand was the spare scimitar.

The best turtle steel knife is also as open as a saw, and it is scarred. to the verge of breakage. In the words of later generations, the durability has been reduced to zero.

Li Ruyan said: "The bald Xianbei confessed that Tan was defeated, and the wolf ran all the way, panicking like a lost dog. Tribesmen, herders, artisans, and even families were left on the grasslands. Just like this hundred-battle steel knife, it has long been as dull as a saw, and it will shatter with a single blow. On the verge of ruin. The lord thinks that what does bald Xianbei need most at this time? ”

Li Ru's words can be described as in one sentence.

As Liu Bei saw before. Losing the nourishment of civilization, bald and fresh is rapidly degrading into barbarism. At this time, the most urgent thing is to obtain the nourishment of civilization. Rise again.

Then my heart moved: "Supplies." ”

Li Ru smiled and nodded, and added, "As the lord said." The Baldness Department needs a territory to recuperate and mend weapons. ”

Liu Bei then woke up: "So." Bald Xianbei needs to occupy a territory, and it is better to have a fully functional city. This city, which will allow them to be well supplied, is both under our noses and unknown to the public. In this way, you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind for the coming days. ”

Li Ru arched his hand and said: "What the lord said is extremely true. If you storm the cities under the four counties of Hexi, there will be news coming out, and how can you not know the history of Liangzhou. And the bald Xianbei rode far away, and there was no siege weapon, how could I capture the throat of my dynasty that I had been painstakingly operating for more than 200 years. The city is not better than the beacon. It is by no means one or two Taiping Dao internal responses that can take down the entire city without realizing it. ”

"Take the picture." Liu Bei had a faint premonition that the bald Xianbei was hidden under his nose.

Shi Jian immediately took the map of Xiliang given by the officials of the Liangzhou Assassin Shi Mansion before setting off and spread it out to take a look.

Liu Bei looked along the Hexi Corridor all the way. His eyes suddenly mentioned: "Here!" ”

Li Ru smiled slightly. The lord can be called clear.

Liu Bei looked at his expression, how could he not know. Then he smiled and saluted: "The master book has known it early, so why bother me to trouble myself." Don't do it again in the future. Between you and me, there is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Li Ru, who was afraid of being jealous of his wisdom, was accustomed to being cautious and taking steps forward. For yourself and for others, leave room for yourself. It was under Liu Bei who received the food, and his temperament was difficult to change for a while.

Seeing Liu Bei so upright. This was both ashamed and moved, and solemnly returned the salute: "Confucianism knows its mistakes." ”

Clearly follow the treachery. The main fruit is the master!

The four counties of Hexi are too busy to take care of themselves.

Even if the reason is explained, it will be doubted. It is difficult to send troops in a hurry. And the history of Liangzhou is now in Chang'an. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. By then, the big picture has been decided. The bald Xianbei is fortified in the city, how can it be easily captured.

Without further ado.

Liu Bei then sent his troops north and went straight to Juyan.
