Liu Bei gritted his teeth and struggled forward.

The pain between the ribs is getting worse and worse, and even inhaling will pull the wound, let alone walk and run. Since his debut, except for a limited number of times, he has hardly marched on foot, even if he has a horse. Now that he is injured, he has to walk, and he can't bear it. His legs were as heavy as lead, but his lungs hurt like a knife, and his breath became more and more rapid.

Zhang Fei handed the spear to his left hand, and with his right hand pulled Liu Bei's arm and put it on his shoulder. Liu Bei wanted to refuse, but he couldn't support it anymore, so he could only whisper: "Yide, thank you." ”

"Fujun, are you hungry and have no strength?"

"Don't call me the prince of the mansion anymore, I'm a military marquis now." Liu Bei gasped, sweating like rain. "I was hit by a spear from that shaft in my waist, and I was afraid that I would break my ribs and couldn't move."

Zhang Fei sighed, and then he knew that Liu was injured. Before that, Liu Bei was just moving slower, and he didn't see that he was injured. Thinking of that encounter, Zhang Fei was also very annoyed. He turned around and didn't see Elfang's figure, only Chen Dao. It can be seen that Elfang is not even Sun Ce's guard knight, just an ordinary guard general, and his martial arts are not as good as Chen Dao. It's really infuriating to be defeated by an unknown person.

"Sooner or later, I will break this strategy." Zhang Fei cursed in a low voice.

"Yide, no." Liu Bei's face changed greatly. "Yun Chang is seriously injured and difficult to walk, which angered Sun Ce, he is angry with Yun Chang, how did he get it?"

Hearing Guan Yu's name, Zhang Fei didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Guan Yu left with the main force, saying that he was recuperating from his injuries, but he was actually a hostage. Jian Yong was also among them, and the four of them were divided into two places, and it was obvious that Sun Ce deliberately made this arrangement, so that they would not dare to act rashly.

"I'll carry you." Seeing that Liu Bei was in a cold sweat like a bean, and even his battle robe was wet, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and squatted down in front of Liu Bei. Liu Bei resolutely refused. Zhang Fei has great strength, but after all, he is a human being, and when he marches with a person on his back, no one knows how long he will have to walk, in case he encounters an enemy, he has no strength to fight, and it is even more dangerous.

Seeing Liu Bei's refusal, Zhang Fei was even more annoyed. Sun Ce asked for more than 100 strong crossbowmen from King Chen, each of whom was equipped with a war horse, but he refused to give Liu Bei a horse, which was really too deceitful. More than 20 horses were stolen from them. In addition to the war horses, he also stole nearly a hundred of their cattle that were lightly carried. They have nothing left but their own armor and weapons.

The more Zhang Fei thought about it, the more angry he became, and asked Liu Bei to rest on the tree for a while, carrying a spear, and came to Sun Ce angrily, opening his arms and blocking Sun Ce's way. Sun Ce stopped his mount and looked at Zhang Fei in puzzlement.

"I ......" The words of the battle came to his mouth, and Zhang Fei remembered Liu Bei's reminder again, and swallowed it back raw. I want a horse. ”

Sun Ce refused. "The marquis has no horses."

"The wounded should have horses."

"Xuande is injured?" Sun Ce turned to look at Liu Bei not far away. Liu Bei was originally holding on to the tree, but when he saw Sun Ce turn around, he immediately leaned against the tree and sat down, looking like he was about to die. Sun Ce saw it and breathed a sigh of relief. "When was he injured?"

Zhang Fei felt very embarrassed and refused to say that he was injured by Elfang. He gritted his teeth, fell to his knees, and knocked his head twice.

"Please be gracious, General."

Sun Ce was surprised. Kowtowing is a big gift, and it doesn't have to be so grand to meet the emperor. It seems that Liu Bei's injury is not light, and Zhang Fei is really anxious. He thought about it, ordered someone to bring a horse, and handed it to Zhang Fei with his own hands. "This horse is borrowed from you for Xuande to ride. Later, if you have a chance to fight the enemy, you can take it, and if you can get the warhorse, you can ride it later. ”

"Good!" Zhang Fei got up, didn't thank him, and led the horse away. Xu Chu was furious and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Sun Ce. "Forget it, although he is stubborn, he is a righteous man, and he should not be too humiliated."

Xu Chu snorted and stopped his steps.

Zhang Fei led the horse to Liu Bei and helped Liu Bei onto the horse. Liu Bei sat on the horse's back, hugged the horse's neck, and let out a long breath. Stepping on horseback, he found a sense of familiarity, and barely felt a little safe.

"Thank you."

Zhang Fei was silent, holding a spear in one hand and a horse in the other, and hurried away.

——

Akatei.

Jiang Qi looked at the deserter kneeling in front of the horse, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

Sun Ce had already defeated Liu Bei's troops, and it was a complete victory, which exceeded his expectations. This deserter was pulled out of the tent in the middle of the night, and he became a prisoner in a daze, I don't know the specific situation, I only know that Liu Bei surrendered, the battle was very short, and Sun Ce had almost no losses. Now Sun Ce let go of the captured Dongjun soldiers, and only took his headquarters to the east, where exactly to go, and the deserters are not clear.

This was another accident. What does Sun Ce want to do?

Jiang Qi waved his hand and motioned to let go of the deserters. They didn't even have weapons or armor, and it was useless to take them with them, but they had to supply them with food. was touched into the big tent in the middle of the night, what kind of soldiers did Liu Bei bring? Jiang Qi was disdainful, and he didn't even have a good impression of these Dongjun soldiers. He asked the forward lieutenants Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch to strengthen their vigilance, and sent more scouts to inquire about Sun Ce's movements, while he stopped and camped to rest.

He rushed all the way from Liyang and marched for more than 300 miles continuously, and he needed to rest, and he also needed to explore the terrain and understand the surrounding situation. Yuan Tan asked him to pick up Liu Bei, and now that Liu Bei has surrendered, whether to continue the pursuit, or turn to Junyi and move closer to Yuan Tan, you also need to ask Yuan Tan to make a decision.

He was ordered by Yuan Shao to reinforce Yuan Tan, but he was not clear about the matter between the father and son. Some people say that Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tan out of Yanzhou is to attach importance to Yuan Tan and focus on cultivating him, and some people say that Yuan Shao is rejecting Yuan Tan, the history of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years shows that the prince is not equal to the heir, and it is not uncommon for the prince to be deposed, which is a royal disease. Although the Yuan family has not yet been crowned emperor, it is a matter of time, Yuan Shao is not old, Yuan Tan is old, and it is normal for father and son to be jealous of each other.

Both arguments make sense, and there is no agreement. For him, whether he should listen to Yuan Tan's orders or not, and to what extent, it is difficult to grasp the scale here. When the situation is unclear, it never hurts to ask for more information.

Before the camp was erected, Xin Bi rushed to Jiang Qi's camp. He was ordered by Yuan Tan to join Jiang Qi and assist Jiang Qi in the battle, and he was very puzzled by Jiang Qi's stoppage. When he learned that Liu Bei's entire army had been annihilated and had surrendered to Sun Ce, he was taken aback.

"Is this news exact?"

Jiang Qi said that he was very exact, and he had received similar information from different deserters.

Xin Bi thought about it for a while, and said to Jiang Qi that Sun Ce's lone army went deep, and the biggest problem was the lack of food, and he fled east probably to Xiaohuang to ask for food. The autumn harvest has just ended, there is a large amount of new rice in the warehouse of Xiaohuang County, and every family has new rice. The top priority is to catch up with him, entangle him, and prevent him from having a chance to capture Xiao Huang and replenish food. He wrote another handwritten letter, asking Jiang Qi to send a fast horse to Junyi, asking Yuan Tan to gather heavy troops and encircle and annihilate Sun Ce.
