Two corpses hung from the head of Guangling City.

Not long after it was hung, although the corpse changed color, it did not stink and decay.

Hanging there are Chen Jue, Chen Deng and his son.

The people sent out to search for Liu Bei sent back news one after another, but none of the people found his whereabouts.

The wing room in the backyard of the Guangling official mansion.

Lu Bu sat in the room, and Zhang Liao and Ji Ling sat on both sides.

"Still not any news?" It was already certain that Liu Bei had escaped from Guangling, and Lu Bu asked the two of them.

"There is no news." Zhang Liao replied: "Liu Bei seems to have put on his wings and flew. ”

"He must have used some method." Lu Bu said: "It's unlikely that you can catch him, but you still can't let him go easily, send more people to look for him in Xuzhou, and be sure to find him." ”

"Understood!" Zhang Liao responded.

Just thinking about where Liu Bei went, the guards outside the door reported: "Qi Yu Wenhou, someone has brought Guan Yu's whereabouts." ”

Guan Yu has followed Liu Bei for many years, and he is also a rare fierce general, if he can be caught and unable to return to Liu Bei, it is tantamount to cutting off one of Liu Bei's arms.

Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" ”

The guards brought in a young man in his early twenties.

Judging from the costume, this person should be a merchant retinue.

"Who are you? Where have you seen Guan Yu? Lu Bu asked.

"Wait for the warmth." The young man bowed down and replied: "I am Zhang Gong's entourage in Zhongshan, and I accompanied Zhang Gong to Xiapi two days ago, and I seemed to see Guan Yu on the way. ”

"How many people are there around him, and where exactly?" Lu Bu asked.

"There are only twenty or thirty people around Guan Yu." The young man replied, "They went to Zhongshan, and they should still stay there." ”

"Did Shiping send someone to follow him?" Lu Bu asked.

"Someone has been sent to keep an eye on it." The young man replied: "Knowing that Wen Hou is at war with Liu Bei, Zhang Gong asked me to come and report as soon as possible." ”

Lu Bu waved his hand: "It's been a long journey, you go to eat some hot rice first, and I'll ask you later." ”

The young entourage retreated, and Zhang Liao got up: "Wen Hou, I am willing to lead five hundred troops to pursue Guan Yu." ”

"Zhongshan is the territory of the Yuan family in Hebei, and bringing troops in will definitely cause a lot of trouble." Lu Bu said: "The pursuit is definitely necessary, but you have to think about how to chase." ”

"I asked the soldiers to pretend to be civilians." Zhang Liao replied: "Even if Zhongshan and Guan Yu pinch each other, the Yuan family can't say anything. ”

"Compared with Wen Yuan and Guan Yu, who is higher in martial arts and who is lower?" Lu Bu suddenly asked.

"He's not much like me." Zhang Liao said: "If we fight alone, we should win and lose each other. ”

"If I am not ten percent sure of defeating him, I will definitely be worried if Wen Yuan goes." Lu Bu said: "Give me five hundred people, and I will go to Zhongshan in person." ”

"Zhongshan is the boundary of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao is not so friendly to Wen Hou." Zhang Liao persuaded: "It's better not to go in person." ”

"Since I've changed, I don't recognize a lot of people." Lu Bu said: "While the movement is still free, it is okay to go to Zhongshan in person." ”

"But ......," Zhang Liao wanted to persuade again.

Lu Bu raised his hand to stop him: "I know your ability, but the other party is Guan Yu after all." You only have a five-to-five chance of winning, and I'll grasp it better. ”

Zhang Liao and Ji Ling glanced at each other, and neither of them knew how to persuade him to stay.

In terms of martial arts, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu are about the same, and Ji Ling is even weaker.

No matter who they go, they are not sure that they will be able to defeat Guan Yu.

Speaking of which, only Lu Bu went in person, and it was possible to capture Guan Yu.

"Wen Hou went to Zhongshan, what should we do if there is news of Liu Xuande again?" Ji Ling asked.

"Bring the army back to Xiapi first, and don't easily provoke any forces before I come back." Lu Bu said: "If Cao Cao sent someone to Xuzhou and asked me where I went, he would say that he would pursue Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was captured, he immediately sent troops to Huainan to relieve Cao Gong's worries. ”

When it came to attacking Huainan, Ji Ling didn't say anything.

After all, he was once a general of Yuan Shu.

Letting him lead his troops to attack his former colleagues and subordinates really made it difficult for him.

Zhang Liao has no scruples in this regard.

He asked Lu Bu, "Wen Hou really wants to attack Huainan for Cao Cao?" ”

"If we don't fight Huainan, Cao Cao will beat us." Lu Bu said: "With Xuzhou's soldiers and horses, they are not the opponents of the Cao family. If we don't stabilize him first, will he let us go free? ”

Xuzhou only has thousands of soldiers and horses, and counting the troops who captured Liu Bei, there are only six or seven thousand people.

Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops are not counting the Qingzhou army that defected to him in the early years.

With the military strength of Xuzhou to compete with the Cao family, there is really no chance of winning.

"No more scouts." Zhang Liao said: "Make sure where Guan Yunchang is, and wait for Wen to lead the troops over, so that he will not be in vain." ”

"Send scouts at this time, and wait until you determine where Guan Yunchang is, and then it won't be easy to twist him." Lu Bu said: "I can send people after I get on the road." ”

"Please be careful." Knowing that Lu Bu had made up his mind, Zhang Liao and Ji Ling congratulated in unison.

Five hundred elites were selected and they were put on the clothes of the people, and Lu Bu left Guangling with the team.

Zhang Liao and Ji Ling stayed in Guangling for a few days, and only then did they lead their troops to withdraw when they knew that the officials who had arrived from Xiapi were in place.

Leaving Guangling, Lu Bu rushed to Zhongshan with his team.

Zhongshan belongs to the Yuan family in Hebei.

At the beginning, Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, was married to Zhongshan Wei Zhongdao.

Due to Wei Zhongdao's early death, Cai Yan had to return to his mother's house in Chang'an, and then Li Dao Guo Yan caused trouble in Chang'an, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu took the opportunity to enter the Central Plains in the name of King Qin.

Cai Yan was also taken away by Liu Bao, the right virtuous king of the Huns, at that time, and never returned to the Central Plains.

In addition to the Zhongshan Wei family, there is also a big household name.

That is the Zhen family, the richest man in Zhongshan.

The Zhen family has been in business for generations, and the Yuan family in Hebei also has to rely on them to support the army.

Yuan Shao even proposed marriage to Zhen Mi, the daughter of the Zhen family, for his second son Yuan Xi.

Although the two have not met yet, the marriage has already been set, and they will be married soon.

Going to Zhongshan, Lu Bu really didn't want to have anything to do with these two.

If you mess with any of them, it won't be too much trouble for him.

Passing through Xuzhou, Lu Bu divided the soldiers disguised as ordinary people into more than a dozen waves and entered the Zhongshan realm.

Along the way, he sent many scouts to investigate Guan Yu's whereabouts.

If it's a headless search, you may not be able to find it.

Fortunately, Zhang Shiping had a heart, and people kept staring at Guan Yu.

Everywhere Guan Yu goes, someone will report to Zhang Shiping.

has been in business for many years, and Zhang Shiping's eyeliner is even more than that of local heroes.

Lu Bu had just arrived in Zhongshan, and he got the news.

On the first night in Zhongshan, Lu Bu stood outside the tent, looking out into the dark distance.

The guard trotted to the side: "Qi Qi Wen waits, Zhongshan Zhang Gong asks to see." ”
