Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were overjoyed and thanked and retreated. Xun You asked Cao Cao: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are flattering disciples, why did the lord make him so prominent, and even teach the capital to supervise the water army?" ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, and said to Xun You: "I don't know people!" It's just because the army in the north that I lead is not accustomed to water warfare, so I have the right to use these two people; When it's done, don't bother with it. ”

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun went back to see Liu Cong and said to Liu Cong: "Cao Cao Xu Baoxuan General Yongzhen Jingxiang." ”

Liu Cong finally put his mind at ease, and the next day, he and his stepmother, Mrs. Cai, held the seal ribbon talisman and personally crossed the river to greet Cao Cao. After Cao Cao comforted Liu Cong, he led the generals to enter the outside of Xiangyang City. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun ordered the people of Xiangyang to burn incense and pay respects, and Cao Cao said good words. Cao Cao entered the city and sat down in the mansion, that is, he summoned Kuai Yue to come closer and comforted him: "I don't like Jingzhou, I like it differently." ”

Cao Cao then named Kuai Yue as the Taishou of Jiangling and the Marquis of Fancheng; Fu Xun, Wang Cang, etc. are all Guannei Hou; And with Liu Cong as the history of Qingzhou's assassination, he taught the journey. Liu Cong was shocked when he heard this, and excused himself and said: "Cong is unwilling to be an official, and is willing to guard his parents' homeland." ”

Cao Cao said: "I moved your mother and son to Qingzhou to teach you to follow the court as an official, so as not to be harmed by others in Jingxiang." ”

Liu Cong refused, and Cao Cao ordered Yu Ban to forcibly send Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong to Qingzhou.

Xiangyang was established, Xun Youjin said: "Jiangling is an important place in Jingxiang, and the money and grain are extremely extensive. Liu Beiruo based on this, united with Liu Du and Han Xuan, and it was difficult to shake. ”

Cao Cao sneered: "I can't forget it! ”

Tanma newspaper said: "Liu Bei led the people to travel more than ten miles a day. ”

Cao Cao taught his subordinates to select 5,000 iron horsemen, advance in the starry night, limited to one day and one night, and catch up with Liu Bei. The armies followed.

However, it was said that Liu Bei led 100,000 people and more than 3,000 troops and horses to Jiangling one by one. Chen Zhi protected the old and young, and Zhang Fei broke off. Mi Zhu said: "Yun Chang went to Jiangxia, but there was no response, I don't know what to do. ”

Liu Bei: "Dare to go down with your feet." ”

Mi Zhu promised, and led the 500 troops with Liu Feng to Jiangxia for help. On that day, Liu Beizi walked with Jian Yong and Mi Fang. In the middle of the line, suddenly a gust of wind blew in front of the horse, and the dust rose to the sky, obscuring the red sun. Liu Bei was shocked and asked, "What is this?" ”

Jian Yong is quite familiar with divination, and he has a lesson in his sleeve, and exclaimed: "This is a great omen." It should be tonight. The lord may quickly abandon the people and go away. ”

Liu Bei sighed: "The people have followed each other from Xinye, and I can't bear to abandon it?" ”

Jian Yong said: "If the lord loves and does not give up, disaster is not far away." ”

Liu Bei asked, "Where is the front?" ”

Left and right replied: "The front is Dangyang County." There is a mountain called Jingshan. ”

Liu Bei taught him to settle down in this mountain. At this time, it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the cool breeze penetrates the bones; Dusk is approaching, and cries are heard everywhere. At the fourth watch, only the northwest shouts were heard. Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly got on the horse and led more than 2,000 elite soldiers of Bai Yu in the headquarters to meet the enemy.

Cao Bing came from the cover, unstoppable. Liu Bei fought to the death. When he was in danger, fortunately Zhang Fei led the army to arrive, opened a bloody road, and rescued Liu Bei to go east. Gao Ran stopped first, Zhang Fei stood up for the eight snake spears and fought Gao Ran to the death, and retreated from Gao Ran.

Zhang Fei protected Liu Bei and fought and left. Running until dawn, when he heard the sound of shouting and killing gradually moving away, Liu Bei stopped his horse. Looking at his entourage, there are only more than 100 riders; The people, the old and the young, Mi Fang, Jian Yong, Chen Zhi and other cadres, all do not know their whereabouts.

Liu Bei cried and said: "One hundred thousand living beings, all because of their love for me, suffered this great disaster; The generals, the old and the young, do not know survival; Although the people of civil engineering are rather sad! ”

Liu Bei was crying sadly, and suddenly saw Mi Fang with a few arrows, staggered, knelt on the ground and cried: "Uncle Chen has gone back to Cao Cao!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Uncle Zhi is my confidant general, Anken is the opposite?" ”

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Maybe he sees that I am exhausted today, and he will turn to Cao Cao in order to enrich his ears!" ”

Liu Bei refused to believe it: "Uncle Zhi obeys me in adversity, his heart is like an iron stone, and he cannot be shaken by wealth." ”

Mi Fang said: "I saw him go to the northwest. ”

Zhang Fei pressed his sword and prepared to turn around: "Wait until I personally look for him and ask for an understanding." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Third brother, Uncle Hugh is here." Uncle is here, there will be an accident. I expect that my uncle will not abandon me. ”

Zhang Fei refused to listen, and led more than 20 riders to Changsaka Bridge. Zhang Fei saw a forest east of the bridge, and had a plan: to teach his entourage more than 20 horsemen, all cut down branches, tied to the tail of the horse, and went back and forth in the woods, rushing up dust, thinking that he was a suspicious soldier. Zhang Fei personally speared on the bridge and looked west.

Chen Zhi from the fourth watch, led the Bai Yu soldiers to fight with the Cao army, clashed back and forth, killed until dawn, found Liu Bei, and lost Liu Bei's old and young.

Chen Zhi pondered: "The lord entrusted the second lady Gan, Mi and the young master Adou to me; Separated in the army today, what face do you have to see the lord? It's better to fight to the death, so as to find the whereabouts of the master's mother and the young master! ”

Chen Zhi looked back and left, and only thirty or forty Bai Yu cavalry were with him. Chen Zhi patted the horse to find it in the chaotic army, and the sound of the people in the county crying shook the heavens and the earth; There are countless people who are shot by arrows and abandon old women and leave.

When Chen was walking, he saw a person lying in the grass, and he stepped forward to see that it was Jian Yong. Chen Zhi hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen the two housewives?" ”

Jian Yong replied: "The second master mother abandoned the car battle and left with Adou in her arms. I came with a flying horse, turned the hillside, was stabbed by a general, fell off my horse, and the horse was taken away. I can't fight, so I'm lying here. ”

Chen Zhi asked one of his cavalrymen to ride a horse and lend one for Jian Yong to ride; He also ordered the two of them to support Jian Yong to report to Liu Bei, and Chen Zhi sighed: "I went to heaven and earth, so I can find the master mother and the young master." If you can't find it, you will die on the battlefield! ”

After Chen finished speaking, he patted his horse and went to Changban Slope, and suddenly a person flashed on the road and shouted: "Where is General Chen?" ”

Chen Zhilema asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man replied, "I am a sergeant under Liu Yuanjun's tent to escort the chariots, and I have been shot here by arrows." ”

Chen Zhi asked him, "Do you know the whereabouts of the second lady?" ”

The sergeant replied, "Just now I saw Mrs. Gan wearing a disheveled hair, accompanied by a group of common women and going south." ”

When Chen Zhi saw him say this, he hurriedly rode his horse south regardless of the fleeing sergeants. I saw a group of people, hundreds of men and women, walking hand in hand.

Chen Zhi shouted, "Is there Mrs. Gan in it?" ”

Mrs. Gan saw Chen Zhi from behind and cried loudly. Chen Zhi dismounted and sobbed: "If the master mother is separated, it will be a crime!" Where are Mrs. Mi and the young master? ”

Mrs. Gan said: "Mrs. Mi and I were chased by Cao soldiers, abandoned the chariot battle, walked among the people, and ran into a Cao soldier and scattered. Mrs. Mi and Adou don't know where to go. I escaped here alone. ”

As he spoke, the people shouted and fled in all directions, and rushed out of a group of Cao soldiers. When Chen drew his gun and got on his horse, he saw that the enemy general in front of him was immediately tied to a young man.

The young man's back, General Cao, was carrying a big knife and leading hundreds of Cao soldiers, who was the general of Cao Ren's department. When the guide saw Chen Dao, he rode over and asked.

Chen Zhi shouted, raised his gun and rode the horse, and took Chun Yu as the guide. Chun Yudao couldn't resist Chen Dao, and was stabbed off the horse by Yun's shot, and went forward to save the young man and capture two horses.

The young man bowed and said, "In the next Zhou Yu, thank you for the general's life-saving grace." Dare to ask the general, but Liu Xuande's subordinates? ”

When Chen Zhi heard the name Zhou Yu, it seemed a little familiar, so he asked Mrs. Gan and Zhou Yu to get on the horse, and they opened a bloody road and sent them straight to Changban Slope.

I saw Zhang Fei immediately on the bridge, shouting: "Chen arrives!" Why are you against my big brother? ”

Chen Zhi explained: "I can't find the master mother and the young master, so I am backward, why does Yide say that I rebel? ”

When Zhang Fei saw Chen Zhi say this, he said: "If Jian Yong hadn't come to report the news first, I would see you today, how could I be willing to take a break!" ”

Chen Zhi asked Zhang Fei: "Where is the lord?" ”

Zhang Fei pointed to the rear and said, "It's only not far ahead." ”

Chen Zhi said to several Liu Beijun soldiers: "You wait to take Mrs. Gan and Zhou Yu to see the lord first, and I will still go to Mrs. Mi and the young master." ”

After Chen finished speaking, he led several elite riders to go back to the old road to look for it. As he was walking, he saw a Cao general carrying an iron spear and a sword on his back, leading more than a dozen people to come on a prancing horse.

Chen Zhi didn't say anything, and rode his horse and shot straight to the general. That Cao Jiang was defenseless for a while, and he was only one with Chen Zhi, and was stabbed down by Chen Zhi's shot. The rest of the cavalry were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and Chen Zhi heard someone say: "General Xia Houen has been killed, flee quickly!" ”

It turned out that Cao Cao had two swords: one named "Yitian Sword" and one "Qingyu Sword"; The Heavenly Sword Cao Cao wore it with him, and the Qingyu Sword was worn by Xiahou En.

This sword is as sharp as clay. This Xiahou En relied on his own bravery, carried Cao Cao on his back, and only cared about leading troops to loot and plunder. didn't want to bump into Chen Dao, so he was stabbed to death by Chen Zhi with a shot and snatched the Qingyu Sword. Chen Zhi pulled out his sword and saw that the word "Qingyu" was engraved on the sword, and he knew that it was a sword.
