Qu County, Mijiazhuang.

On the manor school field, the sound of killing shook the sky, the atmosphere was solemn, and the eight hundred Zhuang Ding were practicing the formation martial arts.

Guan Yu carried his hands behind his back, walked between the ranks, and from time to time scolded those Zhuang Ding who he couldn't look down on.

On the stage, Liu Bei looked at the Zhuang Ding who were practicing hard below, nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appeared on his gray face, and he twisted his short beard from time to time.

Mi Zhu on the side smiled and said, "Lord, can these subordinate servants be worthy of a battle?" ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect Zizhong that you have so many domestic servants, and all of them are strong people, if you train, you will definitely be an elite." ”

"It's good if the lord is satisfied." The corners of Mi Zhu's mouth raised a touch of pride, "My Mi family has been running Xuzhou for many years, although I am not the richest in Shanghai, I still have some family background, these 800 people are only partial, and there are more than 2,000 Zhuang Ding Men guests, who are still on the way to come." ”

At Mi Zhu's suggestion, after Liu Bei retreated to Qu County, Mi Zhu gave Liu Bei full support, offering food and horses, and also dedicated nearly 3,000 domestic servants to Liu Bei. After receiving Mi Zhu's full support, Liu Bei finally recovered a little and gathered more than a few thousand elite soldiers.

With the soldiers and horses in hand, Liu Bei felt a little more at ease.

Liu Bei smiled, his eyes lit up with confidence, and he touched his short beard and said: "Zizhong's friendship should be remembered in him, he will succeed in his great deeds, and he will share wealth with you Zizhong." ”

Mi Zhu was happy in his heart, but he was busy saying: "The lord is a hero in the world, and everything his subordinates do for the lord is out of sincerity, and he dare not covet rich returns." ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, appreciating Mi Zhu's performance more and more.

At this time, Sun Gan beside him said with a smile: "Right now, the Su thief is fighting with Lu Bu in Xiapi, and it is expected that there will be no winner in a few months, so the Lord Justice will take advantage of this time to recuperate, train the soldiers, and wait until the two thieves are defeated and injured, and then we will move westward to seize Xiapi in one fell swoop and recover Xuzhou!" ”

Liu Bei laughed, his eyes looked in the direction of Xiapi, and his mind was already sketching out a blueprint for recovering Xiapi and defeating Su Zhe and Lu Bu.

Zhang Fei also gritted his teeth and scolded: "I hope that Su Zhe's kid doesn't kill Lu Bu and leaves that three-surnamed slave to me, so that I can slaughter him with my own hands and wash away my shame!" ”

Mi Zhu took advantage of the situation and said with relief: "General Yide rest assured, although Su Zhe is strong and strong, he may not be able to attack Xiapi, General Yide has the opportunity to kill Lu Bu and take revenge!" ”

Zhang Fei laughed, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to fly to Xiapi immediately and unscrew Lu Bu's head.

Liu Bei also laughed, Sun Qian also laughed, and for a while, there was a high atmosphere all around.

"Newspaper~~"

At this moment, the scout galloped on horseback, broke into the school field, rushed to the general's platform with a roll, and knelt down in front of Liu Bei.

"My lord, Su Zhe has broken through Xiapi a few days ago and forced Lu Bu to death, and now he is leading a large army to kill my Qu County!"

Thundered!

A thunderbolt from a sunny day, when the air thundered down, instantly bombarded everyone present.

Liu Bei was stunned, Mi Zhu was stunned, Zhang Fei was stunned, everyone present was stunned and discolored, and his body froze in shock.

"How is this possible, then how could Su Zhe break through Xiapi so quickly? And forced Lu Bu to death? Liu Bei, who came back to his senses, asked in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

Mi Zhu and others on the left and right were also shocked, and the words "unbelievable" were written on their faces.

The scout truthfully reported how Su Zhe broke through the Ximen of Xiapi with the help of wolf smoke, broke the city in one fell swoop, and finally forced Lu Bu to a desperate point and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

Silent.

Everyone opened their mouths wide and gasped, looking at each other, with incredible words written on their faces, and suddenly they had heard something wrong with their ears.

After a while, Mi Zhu said in a trembling voice: "This Su Zhe, his luck is really good, why did the west wind rise at such a critical moment?" ”

Everyone was stunned and puzzled.

Sun Qian said: "This Su Zhe is the head of the Nine Wonders, I heard that he has the magical ability to predict the wind and rain, could it be that he just relied on predicting that the west wind was going to rise, so he chose to use the wolf smoke to cover at that time and attack the Ximen of Xiapi?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei immediately scolded: "His grandmother's, what bullshit predicts the wind and rain, and he is not a god, I don't believe that he has this god-like ability." ”

Sun Gan shook his head and said: "General Yide doesn't know, that Su Zhe rose in Hanwei, destroyed Liu Bei in a few years, broke Cao Cao, killed Yuan Shu, captured Yanyu and Jing Sanzhou, and now killed Lu Bu, and infected my Xuzhou, relying not only on extraordinary wisdom, but also on his ability to predict changes in the wind and clouds, this is not the first time." ”

Zhang Fei was also stunned, and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Liu Bei had recovered from the shock and sighed: "I didn't expect it, we still far underestimated this Su Zhe, and now that he is leading a large army to kill, it seems that a vicious battle is inevitable." ”

For a moment, everyone's nerves suddenly tensed.

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered to quickly strengthen the defense of Quxian County, and at the same time train the soldiers day and night, and be sure to train the thousands of servants offered by the Mi family into a usable army before Su Zhe's army arrived.

The order was handed over, but Sun Gan said: "Although we have thousands of soldiers and horses, but the strength is far inferior to that Su Zhe, and Qu County is a lonely city, it is not easy to resist Su Zhe with our own strength, I think that the lord should send someone to Qingzhou as soon as possible, ask for help from Cao Cao, and ask him to lead the army south to help." ”

Liu Bei nodded heavily: "Gongyou's words are reasonable, his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, it is impossible for Cao Cao not to understand this truth, he will definitely lead the army to the rescue." ”

At that moment, Liu Bei repaired a book and sent a messenger to Qingzhou under the stars.

For a time, the shadow of war shrouded in Qu County, and there was a tendency for mountains and rains to come and the wind to fill the building.

……

West of Qu County, Tancheng.

This Donghai County Governance Office, since Liu Bei's defeat and escape from Qu County, has nominally been attached to Lu Bu, and now that Lu Bu is gone, it is natural to return to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe led more than 30,000 troops to the city, and the officials defending the city immediately opened the city and surrendered.

Tancheng is still 300 miles away from Qu County, Su Zhe decided to take a temporary rest in Tancheng, and then continue to advance eastward after the soldiers are slightly replenished.

In the hall of the county government, Su Zhegao sat on it with a solemn expression.

In each wing of the lobby, more than 100 sword and axe hands stood solemnly, all murderous.

Footsteps sounded, and several pro-soldiers dragged a general, who was tied up with flowers, into the lobby.

Gao Shun.

This Lu Bu's last subordinate general has now become Su Zhe's prisoner, and he plans to dispose of Gao Shun first on the way to conquer Liu Bei.

Gao Shun, who was dragged into the hall, held his head high, did not kneel in the face of Su Zhe, and went to be proud and fearless.

Su Zhe looked at him with eagle eyes, and said coldly: "Gao Shun, Lu Bu is dead, I read that you are also a loyal man, give you a chance, submit to me, help me achieve great causes, save you from death, do not descend, today next year is your sacrifice day!" ”
