Chapter 56: Who is the Black Hand?
Recommended reading: "Big Brother! Big brother! ”
"Third brother, why are you here, what's going on?" Looking at Zhang Fei, who suddenly appeared in front of him, kneeling and crying bitterly, and Mi Zhu, who was carried in on a soft couch, Liu Bei was also a little stunned, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong in Xuzhou!
"Big brother, Xuzhou City, it's lost, it's all lost!" Zhang Fei put his head on the ground, howling and crying, when the eldest brother led the troops to the battle, he deliberately entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of staying in the nest, but in less than two months, he lost the Xuzhou City that the three brothers had worked so hard to get.
"Mi Zhu, what's going on, let's talk about it carefully!" Seeing that Zhang Fei was already crying, Liu Bei had no choice but to turn around and interrogate his eldest brother!
"Lord, it's hard to say, Xuzhou City was taken away by Lu Bu's white-eyed wolf!" Mi Zhu is also a face of defeat, Xuzhou is lost, his family is also lost, I don't know when I will be able to turn over.
It turned out that after Liu Bei set out on the expedition, Zhang Fei and the Mi family brothers were left to guard the city, and the three of them were also conscientious at the beginning, strictly guarding against death, but Xuzhou did not invade from other places, and the internal government affairs were handled by officials at all levels.
Ten days ago, it was the day of the winter solstice, according to the usual convention to meet the civil and military, to celebrate, Liu Bei was not there, the banquet was naturally presided over by Zhang Fei and the Mi family brothers, Xuzhou civil and military all participated, the result was a whim, many people were drunk, especially Zhang Fei, who was addicted to alcohol, the eldest brother and the second brother were not around, it was rare to have no one to restrain them, and they were drunk like mud
As a result, in the middle of the night, the 'tiger dove' Lu Bu suddenly led the troops to sneak attack, Xuzhou Dahu - Chen Deng opened the door to do an internal response, almost effortlessly took all the key points in the city, Zhang Fei was drunk and unconscious, unable to resist, and was taken out by his subordinates, but Xuzhou City was lost!
"Winter solstice? It's been more than half a month, why don't you report it early? "Liu Bei is also panicking now, as soon as Xuzhou is lost, the 30,000 horses under his subordinates will be homeless, if the city has just been lost, take advantage of Lu Bu's unstable foothold, immediately return to the army to rescue, maybe it can be recaptured, but now half a month has passed, everything is too late!
"Lord, Xuzhou was lost, I immediately sent someone to fly the horse, and sent six groups of messengers in a row, all of them were mud cows into the sea, there was no trace, and I was helpless, so I came to report in person, but I encountered a group of black-clothed people on the road ambush, and all the guards led were killed, fortunately, the three generals were brave, and this was a bloody escape!" Mi Zhu was already crumbling at this time because of excessive blood loss from the wound, but several Lang Zhong who surrounded him were helpless.
I have seen countless arrow wounds, but I have never seen such a terrible one, I saw that the wound on Mi Zhu's thigh was swollen like a small steamed bun, red and swollen, the incision was much larger than the ordinary arrow wound, and the blood flowed non-stop.
"Don't pull it hard, there are barbs in the arrow cluster!" Fortunately, Guan Yu rushed over when he heard the news at this time, and the second master's eyes were like lightning, so he hurriedly pulled out a few Langzhong, and carefully checked the wounds, asking for a sharp little head, and personally took the arrow.
"Lu Bu is treacherous first, and after Chen Deng eats inside and crawls outside, these two will be punished by heaven, but who intercepts and kills our army's messenger?" Liu Bei felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and the envoy he sent back to Xuzhou was also gone, otherwise Zhang Fei and the Mi family brothers would have taken precautions long ago.
"It must have been done by Lu Bu's 'three-surnamed house slave', sooner or later he will be killed to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Zhang Fei clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger, and his steel teeth rattled even more.
"I'm afraid this matter is really not Lu Bu's doing, hiss! Hiss! , Second General, start lightly! Mi Zhu grinned at the arrow wound, but the shrewdness of the businessman in his heart was still there, "Lu Bu is far away in Xuzhou, it is impossible to send people all the way to Huainan to intercept and kill the messenger, not to mention that if he wants to block the news, he will not open the net and let me and others go out of the city, I am afraid that there is another black hand behind the scenes!" ”
"But there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and this person is like a god, and the layout is far-reaching, our army has only arrived at Shouchun City, and the communication has been cut off, it can be seen that this person has long expected that Lu Bu will take Xuzhou, or, the two have already colluded?" Liu Bei is now remorseful, he has been staring at Yuan Shu, wanting to reap the benefits, but he didn't expect others to have already targeted him, it's really 'praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow finches behind!'" ’
"Ahh It hurts me too! ”
With a scream, the arrow cluster on Mi Zhu's thigh was finally taken out, and Lang Zhong next to him hurriedly applied a lot of gold sore medicine, and carefully wrapped it in white linen cloth outside, and someone else went to boil the decoction for internal use, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
"Big brother, please look at this arrow, I'm afraid the secret is on it!" Guan Yu stared at the cluster of arrows in his hand with a solemn expression.
"Oh, what's the difference between arrows?" Liu Bei hurriedly took the arrow, and several people around him also gathered around, and even Zhang Fei stopped crying, stared at a pair of ringed eyes, and looked carefully.
The arrows are very sophisticated, four feet long, the thickness of the little thumb, the bitter bamboo is the rod, the back is sticky to the swan white feathers, the iron arrow, engraved with a blood groove, the edge is extremely sharp, and it is a standard military arrow at a glance!
The only difference is that behind the arrow, there are four barbs in the opposite direction, intertwined with each other like dog's teeth, at first glance it is a sharp weapon for killing and bloodletting, but there is no name and surname on it, and there are no characters, how to find its source?
"Big brother, please look here!" With Guan Yu's fingers, people found that there was a small pattern in the hidden place of the arrow body, which was a naughty puppy, with a very small body, curly tail, but the head was surprisingly large, and it also opened its mouth, revealing four sharp dog teeth, the lines of the pattern were not complicated, but the carving was vivid.
"What does that mean?" Everyone looks at each other, leaving traces on the shaft of the arrow is common, but most of them leave their names, surnames, or the official position of the person who stays, and it is not for nothing to say that they leave a totem as a mark, but who would be so bad taste, using a grinning puppy to make a totem mark?
"This is a 'canine barb arrow', it seems to be unremarkable, but it is actually extremely powerful, once it is shot, the wound is several times larger than the usual arrow wound, and the blood flow is like an infusion, it will soon kill people, the more terrible upper barb, deep into the flesh, it is difficult to take it, if it is pulled hard, it will bring down a large piece of flesh, so that the injury is aggravated, and the death is faster!" Saying that, Guan Yu glanced at Mi Zhu, who was pale on the soft couch, if he hadn't been quick just now, I'm afraid~~
"Such a vicious arrow, unheard of, who created it?" Everyone took turns to look at this 'canine barb arrow', and their hearts were surrounded by a chill, the arrows were designed to be so vicious, so how powerful should the person with this arrow be?
"Second brother, do you know where this arrow came from?" Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and he had already guessed some with his intelligence, but he didn't dare to be sure!
Nodding, Guan Yu's face was also as heavy as water, and he first looked at the fact that there were no idle people around the big tent, and then he spit out four words in a low voice~~'Xuanjia Iron Rider! ’
"Shhh Hiss! Suddenly there was a gasp in the big tent.
"If this matter is really the work of the 'Xuanjia Iron Horse', then the stakes are great!" Thinking of this, Liu Bei waved his hand violently, and his own soldiers immediately poured out, closed the tent door, surrounded him, and forbade anyone to approach.
Everyone knows that the 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' is the trump card in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor - Xiao Yi, the descendant of the lineage, the battlefield rush, unparalleled in the world, in other words, except for Xiao Yi himself, no one can mobilize this army and horses, even Cao Cao is afraid that he can't do it, but why did he intercept and kill the messenger of Xuzhou?
"Can the second brother be sure that it was the Xuanjia Iron Rider who did it?" Liu Bei thought about it at a deeper level, if the matter only went to Xiao Yi, it was not very scary, I was afraid that the characters behind it would be troublesome, as for the one who could stand behind Xiao Yi and command behind the scenes, there was only one person in the world!
"How dare the little brother believe nonsense, the Xuanjia Iron Horse, the elite is incomparable, the little brother is also envious in his heart for a long time, has several times in the name of visiting, went to check their training methods, during the period several times to see the arrow, it is said that this 'canine barb arrow' is that Xiao Yi created, and equipped with the Xuanjia Iron Horse alone, there is no such weapon in other armies, as for the pattern of the puppy, it is also the person who scribbled graffiti after being drunk, but it was loved by the soldiers in the army, and used as a symbol.
"The second brother has a heart!" Liu Bei nodded, he knew Guan Yu's character very well, that was a gossip used as gold, and he would never say something that he was not sure of, it seemed that it was really Xiao Yi's doing, but why?
Xiao Yi and Lu Bu have fought on the battlefield several times, and it is said that they still have an enemy with one arrow, and they are undying opponents, but he and Xiao Yi have always been kind, why did the other party want to 'help the enemy and harm the friend' this time?
Just when everyone was puzzled, a personal soldier ran in in a panic.
"Report ~ Conquer the Governor of the West ~ Ghost Face Xiao Lang ~ Xiao Yi led the troops into the camp to ask for a meeting!"
"He's coming!"
It's the end of the month, can you, dear readers, give the baron a tip and a monthly pass?
I promise to be honest at home tomorrow, and I don't want the girl to woo!
