Wen Ping finally opened a bloody path, rushed to Lu Bu's side, and slashed an enemy, "Lord, we're here, are you okay?" "Lu Bu was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or the enemy's.

Only then did Lu Bu raise his head and glance at Wen Ping, "Okay, you can arrive in time, continue the attack, and kill Liu Bei!" ”

At this time, Lu Bu also thought that this was a good opportunity for him to solve Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was urging his subordinates to attack behind the mountain!

Wen Ping received the order, killed the Jingzhou army in front of him, and then took advantage of the situation and led his subordinates to attack the back of the mountain.

Lu Bu had a chance to gasp for breath, in just this moment, he had already killed dozens of enemies, and his physical exertion was extremely great, but fortunately, Zhuge Liang was not injured.

At this time, the horn sounded again in the northeast direction, and the infantry of the Central Army of the brigade was killed, and the troops of the Rong 1st Division also arrived.

At this moment, the Central Army occupied an advantage in numbers, needless to say, in terms of equipment.

When the artillery battalion of the 1st Rong Division also joined the attack, the Jingzhou army completely broke up and turned around and fled south.

Wei Yan saw that there were more and more reinforcements from the Central Army, and it was impossible to have any more chance to kill Lu Bu, and it was meaningless to make senseless sacrifices, so he took the initiative to lead his subordinates to retreat south.

Although Liu Bei wanted to kill Lu Bu very much, Wei Yan withdrew, and he continued to entangle, but he was made dumplings.

Chen Gong also persuaded him to stay in Qingshan without fear of running out of firewood.

Liu Bei had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army, but he wanted to withdraw the army, but the special operations regiment of Wenpin was entangled with him.

In the end, it was Liu Bei who sacrificed a thousand people behind the palace to get the large army out of the pursuit of the central army.

After defeating the Jingzhou Army and Liu Bei's army, the Rong 1st Division and the Special Operations Division did not pursue the enemy, they were more worried about Lu Bu's safety.

Surrounded by everyone, Lu Bu slowly walked down the mountain.

Along the way, he saw many pictures of the soldiers of the Central Army dying together with the enemy, Lu Bu just stepped forward silently, helped them tidy up their military uniforms, wiped the blood stains on their faces with their sleeves, and then silently saluted a military salute.

With firm beliefs and strict military discipline, as well as a strict system of rewards and punishments for military merits, all of which make the officers and men of the Central Army have a tenacious fighting spirit and sacrificial spirit that far surpasses that of other armies.

At the foot of the mountain, Wen Ping took the surviving soldiers of the 1st Special Operations Regiment in a row and accepted Lu Bu's review.

Lu Bu heavily praised Wen Ping and his special operations regiment, who desperately came to rescue him and other senior generals of the Central Army, because of their desperateness, this regiment was reduced by half in the first battle.

As many as 1,000 casualties, it can be seen that the battle situation is fierce, Lu Bu asked Li Su to do a good job in the post-war pension work, and promised to give priority to the special operations regiment to replenish high-quality troops and equipment.

After meeting with the large forces of the two divisions, Lu Bu was really relieved, and at this time, the intelligence department sent information, saying that Zhuge Liang's family and Mr. Shi Tao and Meng Jian had arrived in Wuguan safely.

relieved of his worries, Lu Bu was looking forward to Jingzhou Jun and Liu Bei being able to continue to catch up.

However, what disappointed him was that he knew that he had arrived at Wuguan safely, and he never saw the shadow of the pursuers.

When Zhuge Liang and his family were reunited, Lü Bu ordered to rest in place for a few days before calmly setting out on the road.

In September 200, Lü Bu successfully recruited Zhuge Liang, a hermit from Jingzhou, who first appointed Zhuge Liang as deputy chief of the general staff of the Central Army, and then entered the advanced training course for senior officers of the Army University with Xu Shu.

First familiarize yourself with the system, training methods, and strategic and tactical thinking of the Central Army, so that you can better command the army in the future.

This time, Jingzhou carried out and dug up Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

Although he sacrificed a lot of people, he destroyed several times as many enemies, and killed Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei, who was a fierce general with 10,000 enemies.

Moreover, this time Lu Bu made a fuss in Jingzhou, and went deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou to tap talents, which greatly hit the prestige of Liu Biao and Liu Bei in Jingzhou.

It greatly increased the fear of Lu Bu among the officials and people in Jingzhou, and further established Lu Bu's invincible image.

The discussion of the people of Jingzhou and the promotion of the Central Military Intelligence Department have made all kinds of gossip fly.

Many of them said that Liu Biao was useless, weak and incompetent, and when he heard that Lu Bu was coming, he hid far away, and he didn't even dare to fight in front of him.

Let Lu Bu run to the hinterland of Jingzhou and dig up all the hermits in Jingzhou to Chang'an, which is enough to witness how Lu Bu is thirsty for talent, regardless of his own danger, and should set an example for the princes of the world!

There are also rumors that Liu Bei had ill intentions and wanted to sneak attack Xiangyang, but he met Lu Bu by chance, and as a result, stealing chickens and rice did not lead to rice, and he also took Zhang Fei's life.

Liu Biao was in a hurry in this piece of gossip, and he couldn't afford to get sick.

And when Liu Biao fell ill, the original unobvious battle for inheritance quickly became white-hot.

Liu Biao has two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong.

Originally, Liu Biao liked his eldest son Liu Qi very much, because Liu Qi's handsome appearance was very similar to Liu Biao when he was young.

But later Liu Cong married the niece of Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao's step-room, and loved the house and Wu, and Mrs. Cai began to like to favor Liu Cong and hate Liu Qi.

Cai often slandered Liu Qi in front of Liu Biao, which made Liu Biao gradually alienate Liu Qi and prefer Liu Cong.

Moreover, the generals of the Jingzhou Army, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, are both kind to Liu Cong, so although they are the eldest sons, Liu Qi is deeply uneasy.

Liu Qi had a close relationship with Liu Bei, who was famous for benevolence and righteousness and was an elder of the clan.

In October, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu was defeated and killed in a battle with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and Jiangxia's situation was critical.

Liu Qi listened to the advice of Liu Bei and Chen Gong, invited himself to be the Taishou of Jiangxia, and left Xiangyang, a place of right and wrong, in order to protect himself.

Although Liu Biao was sick, he was not confused, he knew Liu Qi's intentions, and he also felt guilty, so he agreed to Liu Qi's request, appointed him as Jiangxia Taishou, and sent the general Wei Yan to lead the army to help him.

Liu Bei suffered from Liu Biao's suspicion, one day was better than another, and everything was restricted.

Liu Bei had the idea of self-reliance, he secretly made friends with Jingzhou celebrities, interacted with major wealthy families, and even had close contacts with some of the generals of the Jingzhou army.

He visited Mr. Shui Jing again and wanted to ask Sima Hui to go out of the mountain to help him.

Sima Hui politely declined Liu Bei's invitation again, but solemnly recommended "Phoenix Chick" to him.

Liu Bei, according to Sima Hui's guidance, personally visited the "phoenix chicks" who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

The first time I visited Pang Tong, it was like visiting Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong avoided it.

The second time, Liu Bei braved the heavy snow to ask for a meeting. At first, Pang Tong was still reluctant to meet Liu Bei, because Liu Bei was really not the ideal lord in his mind.

Later, seeing that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but Liu Bei was standing in the snow and refused to leave, Pang Tong was deeply moved.
