Xuzhou, Xiaopei.

The soldiers in the palace were talking to each other, and they were talking about someone who was now "despising" their lord in the inner hall.

"Xuande, Yunchang, Yide, I can find you so hard." Jian Yong sat on the mat and said with a smile. The reason why it can still be called "sitting" is only because he is not completely lying on the mat, but it is almost there.

In the eyes of the soldiers outside the door, this guy was too rude, but their General Liu even replied with a smile, which was a bit unbelievable.

"Hehe, Xianhe, the three of my brothers followed Gongsun Zhan to the Bishui Pass Huimeng, and you went back to Zhuo County, and there has been no news since then, why are you here now?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Actually, I went to Qingzhou to look for it first, but I heard that the three of you brought troops to rescue Tao Qian, so I came here to meet. But I didn't want to just come here, so I heard that Xuande rejected Tao Qian's kindness and refused to accept this Xuzhou pastor. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he put away his smile and said, "Tao Gongzu is famous for his benevolence in the world, and I raised troops here to help him resist Cao. At this time, he was seriously ill, and I didn't do my best to help, but I took away other states and counties, wouldn't the people of the world scold me Liu Bei for being unrighteous? ”

"Hehe, Xuande, this is a bad word! Although you have good intentions, the people of this state may suffer because of you! Jian Yong said, glancing at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with his spare eyes. They were signaling with their eyes behind Liu Bei at this time, hoping that he could persuade this stubborn big brother.

"What does this mean?"

"As long as Tao Qian is the pastor of this state for one day, Cao Cao will covet Xuzhou, even if you are here, you will always be a guest general. To put it mildly, the officials from all over Xuzhou may not obey you. If Cao Cao really came to attack, with Xiao Pei's little force, it would be difficult to support it alone, and he could not mobilize the soldiers and horses of various counties, how to protect the people. Even if Tao Qian is willing to listen to your strategy, this news will be conveyed back and forth, won't it delay the military situation. But if you receive the state pastor and make overall arrangements, then how dare Cao Cao use troops at will. I can hear that as soon as you came, Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of the army. Jian Yong's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Liu Bei and said.

"Tao Qian's two sons can both have the right to take the position of state pastor, how can I, Liu Bei, fight for it."

"Eh, why should Xuande deceive himself, with the talents of his two sons, he is not even half as good as Tao Qian, and it is not enough to be a county official, how to be the lord of this state. Besides, if Tao Qian took the initiative to let you, and if you didn't take it by force, he would definitely send out official documents everywhere, and how could anyone criticize him? Moreover, to tell the truth, although he loved the people, he did not know how to protect them; Although he has a benevolent heart, he does not know how to make the people rich, and only knows how to stick to the rules. Isn't it a pity that this Xuzhou treasure land! ”

"This ...... The matter is still open for discussion. Xianhe came from afar, and the journey was tiring. Yide, first arrange a place for Xianhe, and later, I will set up a banquet in the house for Xianhe to receive the wind. ”

……

In the pavilion, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

"Today, the eldest brother's attitude has eased a lot by what you said, and sure enough, you Jian Yong is eloquent." Zhang Fei looked at Jian Yong with a smile.

"Humph! Zhang Yide, others don't know about you, don't I know? You also understand these words, but why don't you say them to Xuande? Jian Yong asked with a little anger.

"Xianhe made fun of me, I, Zhang Fei, am just a rough person, how can I know so much?"

"Whew! You don't understand? You don't know how to persuade Xuande, but you know how to let your Yanyun eighteen horsemen win the hearts of the people! It's just that you have a friendship with Xuande, and you're afraid that others will say that your three brothers conspired to seize Xuzhou, and you want an outsider to say it! Jian Yong slapped the table angrily.

"Xian and Mo Qi, Xian and Mo Qi. Hehe, Xianhe still understands me. This time, Xianhe is here, it must be to help my eldest brother establish his career, and I am very happy in my heart! Today's dinner, how about you and I not get drunk and don't go home? ”

"I, Jian Yong, think I'm quite thick-skinned, how can I not feel it at all in front of you Zhang Yide."

"Hahahaha......" Zhang Fei looked at Jian Yong, who was aggrieved, and laughed......

————————————————

Yanzhou, Jiyin County, a suburb of Chengshi County.

Lu Bu was followed by a long procession, quietly moving forward on the path. Many of the team were bandaged, and some were even seriously injured.

It was the second half of the night, and after more than an hour of fighting, and after slaughtering countless civilians, they finally came out of the city.

Although the people had almost no combat effectiveness, there were too many people after all, and Zhang Liao and others were blocked outside Puyang City, so most of the 10,000 horses in the city still failed to escape.

They passed through Lihu and Juyang all the way, preparing to retreat to Shanyang County. At this time, they had already come to the vicinity of the Cheng clan, and after here, they also left Jiyin County.

Diao Chan fell asleep quietly in Lu Bu's arms, and in order to prevent a frontal encounter with the enemy in the city, Diao Chan had been hiding behind Lu Bu. And because he was afraid of chasing soldiers, Lu Bu didn't dare to let her ride alone, so he let her sit in front of the horse and rest by herself.

But he didn't know that Diao Chan was actually awake all the time, but he didn't know how to face Lu Bu who was full of murderous anger in his eyes, so he had to pretend to be asleep.

There was a small river ahead, and Lu Bu motioned for everyone to let the horses drink water by the river, wash their faces and rest. In the absence of adequate medicine, this is the only way to alleviate the pain.

Diao Chan pretended to be awakened and let Lu Bu report him off the horse, but he kept his head down and didn't look at Lu Bu. Lu Bu didn't know what to say, so he was so embarrassed and silent.

Perhaps, at this time, Diao Chan thinks that he is a butcher who kills people without blinking, alas......

Zhang Liao and the other brothers all squatted down by the river, took a few sips of water in their hands, and washed their faces, but found that Hao Meng was not nearby, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"He must have gone looking for his two handmaidens." Cheng Lian shrugged his shoulders and expressed his protest against his brothers' heavy sex and light friends.

"Okay, if you feel unfair, how about finding two?" Cao Xuan joked with him.

"He, forget it, don't make your legs weak and can't fight, it's going to be troublesome." Wei Xu said with gritted teeth.

"You're looking for a fight, isn't it!" Cheng Lian said, with a stroke of his hand, a large handful of water was splashed on Wei Xu's body.

"Good boy, take it." Wei Xu was not to be outdone, and returned him a handful.

Gao Shun, who was saddling his saddle in the distance, watched them play by the river and couldn't help but smile bitterly - it was really rare for this group of people to have such idleness in such a situation.

Song Xian walked up to him, sighed and said, "Although most of Yanzhou is still in our hands now, if the people are really so easy to agitate, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the future." ”

Gao Shun looked at him and nodded helplessly, "Yes, but I didn't expect that Cao Cao to keep such a hand." ”

"Have you noticed," Hou Cheng walked over from the side, "The general's eyes have changed." ”

After speaking, the three of them all turned their heads to look at Lu Bu, who was wiping the halberd in the distance, and stopped talking.

……

Chen Gong sat under the tree with Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, and also talked about Lu Bu.

"Feng Xian was forced to do something to the people today." Zhang Miao said.

"Is he really forced to be helpless, or is he murderous by nature, maybe I did something wrong when I welcomed him to Yanzhou." In the surprised eyes of the two, Chen Gong said what he thought.

"Gongtai, you and I have been in contact with him for a long time, and you should know his personality. Feng Xian is by no means indiscriminately killing innocent people. Zhang Miao retorted.

"Big brother, I also think that Feng Xian will do things this time...... Something seems inappropriate. Zhang Chao said in a low voice.

"With the situation at that time, couldn't the people really be calmed down and explained clearly? Feng Xian...... It seems to have become more irritable than before. Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in disbelief. The man who met his eyes was full of murderous energy......

……

Just as everyone was resting around the campfire in groups, no one noticed that hundreds of black shadows were quietly approaching them.

As an archer, Cao Xing's eyes are much better than ordinary people, even if it is just a flash of cold light in the grass in the distance, he can catch it.

He just caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a figure on the side who had disappeared after his head was spied down, so he hurriedly beckoned the people around him to be careful.

The tension quickly spread, and everyone picked up their swords and stood up, carefully guarding their surroundings.

Suddenly, there was the sound of arrows being shot, and Cao Xing's face also showed panic. Because he could hear that it wasn't a bow, it was a crossbow!

"Everybody, get down! The other party used a hard crossbow! Cao Xing couldn't care much anymore and shouted loudly.

However, there are still many people who are slow to react, and this round of shooting has cost hundreds of lives.

The other party's accuracy is very high, and in this dark night, they are the best target when they are illuminated by the fire.

"Everyone, put out the bonfire!" Lu Bu instantly understood Cao Xing's concern, the order was quickly transmitted, and all the fires were extinguished. Everyone tried to keep their bodies as low as possible, and carefully observed the enemies in the darkness around them.

"Ahh ~~~" The screams rang out again, and the other party ignored the grass and fired at them again from a height close to the ground.

Fortunately, the other party couldn't see them this time, and the casualties were not large. But if they continue to be so passive, they will undoubtedly be wiped out.

Cao Xuan motioned for all the archers of the Divine Bow Battalion to put up their arrows, and then conveyed his intentions to Zhang Liao with his eyes.

After years of fighting, they were tacitly aware of each other's thoughts, and Zhang Liao immediately beckoned the soldiers around him to slowly crawl forward, and at this moment, the other party fired another volley, and the arrows flew over Zhang Liao's head.

Zhang Liao stabilized his mood and led more than 100 soldiers to continue to advance. As he approached the enemy's approximate location, he jumped up with a roar and slashed at the enemy.

The other party was obviously taken aback, and in the panic, many crossbowmen were slashed before they could get up.

Seeing that the sneak attackers were suppressed, everyone stood up excitedly and rushed forward. But at the same time, they saw torches in the distance, and more than 10,000 horses. Obviously, the other party had been lurking not far away before, and first sent a crossbowman to consume it, and when the crossbowman was suppressed, he rushed to kill.

Lu Bu had been crouching to protect Diao Chan, and at this time, they all raised their heads to look at the unknown enemy over there.

Lu Bu suddenly felt the tremor coming from Diao Chan beside him, he hurriedly looked down, saw Diao Chan's eyes full of sadness, and slowly stretched out his finger, pointing to the middle of the enemy centaurs.

Lu Bu fixed his eyes and saw that Zhang Feng was standing in the middle of the enemy, looking at this side with a cold gaze.

After he left Puyang, he has been watching the big drama of Lu Bu and Cao Cao's confrontation. Later, when he saw that Cao Cao had withdrawn his army, he was disappointed, so he sneaked into the city, wanting to cause some trouble for Lu Bu again. found that Puyang was on fire, and the people of the whole city confronted Lu Bu and others, so they enjoyed the whole process with great interest.

It wasn't surprising that Lu Bu was able to escape in the end, but gradually, he found himself losing interest in torturing Lu Bu. So, after following Lu Bu for a long time, Zhang Feng finally confirmed the direction of his withdrawal - Shanyang County.

So he stepped up, and didn't even rest at all, rushed to Chengshi County, and in the name of Cao Cao's subordinates, he went to meet Li Jin, a righteous man in the county who did not hide from Lu Bu and seized Yanzhou.

At his instigation, Li Jin summoned the nearby mountain rangers, and persuaded the county officials to send some troops as well, gathering more than 10,000 people, and ambushing Lü Bu here at night.

The moment Diao Chan saw Zhang Feng, her heart was cold again, although there was still some distance, but she could also see clearly that Zhang Feng's gaze, just like Lu Bu beside her at this time, was as emotionless and full of murderous aura.

He was finally tired of torturing himself and Lu Bu, and he was finally going to make a killing move.

In the darkness of the night, the scarred tiger was confronted by a mad dog that was wounded and could not be healed......
