In Xiapi City, the flood was raging, and hundreds of people were displaced and suffered great disasters.

The sound of crying for help comes and goes, and it can still be heard from afar.

Lu Bu's army was a full 100,000 and watched from the wall.

"Lord, the city gate is gone, let's rush!"

The generals under his command were full of warlike intent in their eyes.

When Xiao Ji heard this, he was very anxious, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Generals, don't be impulsive, now that the water is raging, rushing down rashly will not help at all, and you will even be buried in water ......"

Lu Bu was deeply convinced of this, and even if he really wanted to attack the city, he would have to wait until the water receded or stabilized.

What's more, most of the soldiers under his command are northern sons, and there are countless landlubbers who can't water.

Anyway, after the flood flooded the city, the morale of the defenders in the city plummeted, and the food and livestock were gone, Liu Bei was basically at the end of his rope, and he was not in a hurry.

A few days later, the raging water in the city calmed down, and the water level, which had been two people high, receded most of it with the concerted efforts of the military and civilians, and almost dropped to the calf position.

Due to the low terrain of Xiapi City, it is difficult to drain water, and it will take many days for the stagnant water accumulated in the city to be completely drained.

Lu Bu naturally wouldn't give Liu Bei a chance.

In the city, everywhere the streets and in front of the houses were full of muddy water.

As the pastor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei was wearing a black regular clothes, and beside him were Chen Zhi and other personal soldiers, who walked in the water, deep and shallow, inspecting the people in the city.

Compared with the previous peaceful and self-sufficient, the people of Xiapi today can be described as miserable, which can be described in one word, that is: miserable.

Almost all the grain and livestock were swept away by the flood, leaving only a small remnant, and many people had not eaten or drunk for many days, and their faces were yellow and thin, and they were homeless.

"Liu Zhijun is here! Liu Yuanjun is here! ”

Liu Bei's appearance caused a commotion.

Many people looked over, with anticipation in their eyes, and wanted to wait for Liu Bei to give an explanation.

I have to say that despite this catastrophe, they are still full of confidence in this Liu envoy.

Seeing the people suffering, Liu Bei's face was also full of pathos, and tears came as soon as he said it.

Stretching out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, Liu Bei made a big salute, and turned around in the same place one by one, until the people shouted 'make the king can't make it', 'make the king hurry up, don't bother me and wait', Liu Bei slowly straightened up, his face was still full of remorse.

"Make the kings suffer, and be prepared for the wrong!"

The tone was full of remorse.

Hearing this, many people were moved, and their hearts turned to Liu Bei: "So that you don't have to blame yourself too much, everything is that Lu Bu is cruel and unkind, and treats us like mustard." This time, we will advance and retreat with you! ”

But there are also a few irritable old brothers who don't eat this set at all, and scold Liu Bei all the time: "Liu Xuande, don't pretend to be here here, if it weren't for you, how could we suffer from this catastrophe!" ”

When the accompanying soldiers saw that someone was insulting the lord, they made a gesture to capture and behead these mobs.

"Don't do it!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei shouted to stop him, and reached out with his body to stop the soldiers behind him.

Then he took out the sword at his waist, handed it to the irascible man, and said apologetically: "This strong man, I am deeply sorry for your anger. If you have hatred, just kill me, and you will never resist! ”

"My lord, no!"

The soldiers and the people were in a hurry.

Chen Zhi's eyes were even more condensed, staring at the man, as long as there was a slight change, even if he disobeyed the lord's order, he would kill him first.

In any case, the life and safety of the lord will always come first.

"Han boy, don't mess around, Liu Yuanjun loves the people like a son, the death of your mother-in-law and baby can't be blamed on Liu Yuanjun's head, even if you want to hate, you should hate Lu Bu who dug the embankment, it was he who made your family ruined!" Someone who was familiar with the man persuaded him from the side, and threw all the pots on Lu Bu.

"Yes, yes, Liu Yuanjun is a great person!" The rest of the people also hurried to persuade them.

The people, every word you say to me, are all saying good things for Liu Bei. The man frowned, his heart became entangled for a while, he looked at the sword in his hand, and then looked at Liu Bei, who closed his eyes and died generously, gritted his teeth, and threw the blade in his hand with hatred.

Only dropped one sentence: Me and Lu Bu, never die!

Went elsewhere.

After the man left, everyone was relieved and relieved.

At this time, a ragged woman timidly ripped off Liu Bei's robe.

In her arms, a child about seven or eight years old was in her arms, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Liu Yuanjun, I know that you love the people like a son, you are a benevolent and righteous king, and it is not a pity for a slut to die, but I beg you to send food to save the child......"

The woman's voice was quiet, as if she was too hungry to do anything.

Liu Bei was quite embarrassed by this.

The flood swept away too much grain and livestock, not to mention the common people, and even the defenders were shrinking their clothes and food every day.

There is simply not enough food, let alone a surplus to help the innocent and suffering people.

Although he can't get food now, Liu Bei still made a promise to the people: "Don't worry, I have sent people to Xuzhou City quickly, and asked General Cao Bao to press grain and grass to come, I believe that there will be three or five days at most to arrive in Xiapi." When he arrives, we'll all have something to eat, so let's wait! ”

Hearing this, the originally depressed people suddenly rekindled the light of hope.

After inspecting the circle, at the time of parting, Liu Bei once again encouraged the people: When we expel the national thief Lu Bu, we will definitely be able to revive our homeland!

The voice is loud and powerful.

If they don't even have their own confidence, the people will have no fighting spirit to survive.

When he returned to the Xiapi County Mansion, before he entered the mansion, the guards guarding the door stepped forward and said: "Lord, General Cao Bao has sent someone, and he looks embarrassed, as if he has lost the battle. ”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Liu Bei was still quite happy in his heart, thinking that Cao Bao was finally here, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, Liu Bei's heart suddenly 'chuckled', and a strong uneasiness swelled.

"Quick, tell him to come to the lobby to see me!"

Liu Bei said hurriedly.

Soon after he sat down in the lobby, a general in armor walked in outside, and the armor was badly damaged, but fortunately the person was not injured.

Seeing Liu Bei sitting upright, the square-faced general knelt on the ground, his expression on his face was like that of a dead father, and he howled bitterly: "Lord, it's gone!" It's all gone! ”

"I don't know which Wang Ba leaked our route, causing our army to be ambushed by Gao Shun's army on the way here."

"Our army couldn't resist and was killed and crushed, even General Cao Bao...... He ......"

"What's wrong with him!" Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he stood up from his seat suddenly.

"General Cao, he died under the random guns of the trapped camp." Speaking of this, the generals were already in tears.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, all the food was robbed, and the general Cao Bao died......

Burst!

A lot of bad news came one after another, and under the rush of fire, Liu Bei spurted out a mouthful of blood, and shouted at the sky: God will kill me!

With that, his body leaned back and fainted on the spot.
