Just when Wang Bao and the others hesitated, Liu Bei's rear team was completely defeated, Guan Yu was also a human, Xiahoudun was bent on capturing Liu Bei Xue shame alive, and the combat effectiveness of thousands of tiger and leopard riders was not three or four thousand foot soldiers plus a few fierce generals could resist.

Guan Yu and the others couldn't resist the sharp eyes, so they had to slap their horses and rush over from the people.

The main general, a cart of Liu Bei's subordinates, also fled in all directions, the soldiers fled, and the common people directly faced the Cao army like a tiger. Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the crowd, followed by crying dad and shouting mother, running all the way.

But where are two legs better than four legs? Xiahoudun has also been on the battlefield for a long time, and Cao Cao also emphasized to the generals before this expedition that now that the north has been decided, Jingzhou has been under the rule of Liu Biao for a long time, even if Jingzhou is captured, it must be kind to the people and appease the people.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiahoudun did not order the troops to pursue him from the crowd, but kept shouting at the people to get out of the way. This kind of shouting was only partially effective, and soon Xiahou Dundun's cavalry troops cut the people into two parts along the road that the crowd gave way to, and those who were not surrounded by the Cao army were the troops who ran desperately to get rid of the Cao army and catch up with Liu Bei. Of course, the vast majority of these people are young and able-bodied.

But most of them were still left in place by the Cao army who was surrounded from all sides, including Wang Bao, Fan Tie and others, according to their skills, they must have outrun the ordinary people, but Xu's mother was old and trembling in the crowd, and the three of them did not dare to leave, so they followed most of the Xinye people and became prisoners of the Cao army.

"Brother Wang, what now?" Fan Tie was dumbfounded when he saw that there were cavalry all around.

"Don't worry, in Cao Cao's army, it's better than in Liu Bei's army, no one is chasing here, but I don't know how Cao Jun, the general, will treat the people."

"Whipping and intimidation are indispensable, but I'm afraid that we will all be driven to Xuchang." Hu Wei said a little frustrated.

"What are you afraid of, it's hundreds of miles away from Xuchang, it's not easy to find a few opportunities to escape, I told you, if Cao Jun really tortures or something, you must hold back and don't show any horses. If someone bullies Mother Xu, I will take the lead, and I will temporarily play the role of the old lady's maiden nephew, you are the brothers I usually know, and you must protect the old lady well no matter what! ”

"I know, I listen to you!" Although they were frustrated, thinking of this task, Fan Tie and Hu Wei did not dare to slack off.

At this time, Guan Yu and the others had already returned to Liu Bei's brigade, and some fast-paced infantry also caught up, followed by some Xinye people. Xiahoudun did not chase after him, the Hanchuan Plain was flat, and it was too easy for the cavalry to catch up with Liu Bei.

It was about to get dark, and it was important to send someone to deal with the captives. In this era, the common people were also one of the wealth of the princes and warlords, and Cao Cao had the ability to raise a large number of soldiers only by relying on the large number of people under his command and high taxes. Xiahoudun, who had followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north for many years, naturally understood this truth, and sent sentry cavalry and Zhen Liu Bei's troops to temporarily stop and deal with these prisoners.

Most of the people who escaped from Xinye and followed Liu Bei were poor people or family members of soldiers. Those who are a little richer have long gone to relatives and friends, or simply hid in Xiangyang City. Although Xiahoudun did not trample on the people, he did not prevent his soldiers from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

These soldiers ran all the way and chased hundreds of miles to catch up with Liu Bei, and they had fought several times before, but at this moment, when they saw tens of thousands of people, they rushed into the crowd without hesitation and began to harvest wealth.

Soon, there were shouts and shouts in the short silence of the crowd, mixed with the shouts of Cao Jun's soldiers, and some money fans tried to cling to their wealth, which basically quickly attracted Cao Jun's whip.

Syllable! Syllable! The sound of leather whips rang out everywhere.

Wang Bao and the others soon became the targets of several Cao Jun, but the three of them did not bring any valuable items, and several Cao Jun muttered a few words in their mouths, and then targeted Xu Mu. Mother Xu was pampered in Xinye, so she quickly attracted several Cao Jun in terms of dress.

The old lady knew that she couldn't save anything from this situation today, so she took the initiative to hand over the burden.

A Cao Jun took the burden, turned over the burden and immediately laughed, wanting to recover a lot, and a few Cao soldiers who arrived later did not give up and wanted to search the old lady. Wang Bao hurriedly walked over and blocked in front of the old lady: "Master Jun, Master Jun, please raise your hand, my aunt has already handed over the burden." Although this dress is valuable, it must be very cold at night in this wilderness, and if there are no clothes to protect from the cold, his old man will definitely not be able to bear it. Why don't you take my clothes? ”

The soldier originally wanted to search for anything valuable hidden on Xu's mother, but when Wang Bao said this, it seemed that he wanted the old lady's clothes, and he suddenly became angry, and raised his hand to whip it: "Get out of Lao Tzu, it's really disappointing!" ”

Wang Bao didn't dodge or dodge, and was whipped firmly, but the Cao soldier didn't continue to search Xu's mother, and he found a more valuable target, so he turned around and left.

Of course, Mother Xu knew that Wang Bao was standing up to protect herself, and these young people had been following her along the way, Mother Xu thought that she had met a bad person, and was always worried that her property would be seized by these people, and now that her property was taken away by Cao Jun, this young man actually stepped forward to help herself, saving herself from the humiliation of being searched by Cao Jun. When the Cao soldiers left, Xu Mu beckoned to Wang Bao and the others to come over.

Wang Bao saw that his actions just now won the favor of the old lady, and he forgot the pain just now, and got to the old lady's side with Fan Tie and others.

"Young man, thank you just now, where do you live, old lady, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Old lady, be quiet. Yes, a few of us are Mr. Xu's subordinates. Dedicated to protecting your elderly. ”

Mother Xu thought about it, so it was, no wonder she could always see these people walking around her when she came out of Xinye City, it turned out to be her filial son's subordinates, and immediately said: "Uncle Liu Huang is now short of soldiers and major generals, I think you are not bad, why don't you go to serve in the thousand armies, what are you doing here with an old lady?" In this way, at night, you will take the opportunity to run away and catch up with Uncle Liu Huang, and if my son asks, you will say that it is my opinion. ”

When Wang Bao and the others heard this, this old lady was really sensible, no wonder the main guild came to save this person by himself. If she were an ordinary woman, she heard that it was her son's subordinates, and she would definitely stay by her side, so she didn't say a word but asked herself to catch up with Uncle Liu Huang and continue to fight against Cao Jun.

Of course, Wang Bao and the others can't just leave.

Wang Bao smiled: "Old lady, I know that you are good to us, but Uncle Liu Huang and Mr. Xu have explained that we will protect your old man's house for a good life, and if we go back like this, it will definitely be a capital crime." In this way, let's find a chance at night to see if we can escape together, if we can avoid Cao Jun. We will send you to Mr. Kong Ming in Xiangyang for a temporary stay. After settling you, we will go back to Uncle Liu Huang and Mr. Xu. ”

"This ......" This is Liu Cong's line designed in advance, Xu's mother really didn't know how to refute it for a while, he knew that his son was friendly with Zhuge Liang, since Zhuge Liang was in Xiangyang, whether he surrendered to Cao Cao or not, he would definitely treat himself well, it seems that these young people still have some brains, and they are worthy of being sent by their son.

"Old lady, don't worry, we will definitely not move if it is too dangerous. But we'll send you out at the first opportunity! ”

Xu's mother can only do this, after all, her son is Liu Bei's military advisor, if he is taken as a prisoner and taken to Xuchang, there will be no good result. If his identity is revealed, Cao Cao will definitely use himself to blackmail his son.

Seeing that Xu Mu was moved, Wang Bao and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then waited for it to get dark and take advantage of the night to find an opportunity to escape. However, this problem also made Wang Bao and the others very difficult, if there were only three of them, it would not be difficult to escape when the garrison of the Cao army was relaxed in the second half of the night, but with the addition of an old lady, the difficulty coefficient suddenly increased several times.

The lord said that he had Jinyiwei to assist, but now he doesn't know where they are, and Wang Bao also completely hopes to put it on Jinyiwei. At that moment, the three of them agreed that as long as they had the opportunity, they would run with the old lady, and they would be responsible for carrying people, and Fan Tie and Hu Wei would be responsible for covering. Once there is danger, Fan Tie and Hu Wei will definitely become cannon fodder to attract the enemy, and the three of them still have this awareness, since the first assassination of Liu Cong, they have this awareness.
