Chapter 60: Advancing to Xuzhou
"Lord!"
A familiar shout came from outside the hall, and Liu Bei looked at it, but Liu Hui and Guan Yu were hurrying over, and under the smile on their faces that could not be hidden, it must indicate the arrival of good news.
"Zihui! Cloud Chief! ”
Liu Bei stepped forward to greet him, smiled indifferently, and asked, "But there is good news?" ”
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh wildly.
Liu Huizuo bowed and said, "Lord! In the battle of Shouchun, more than 700 enemies were annihilated, more than 800 were seriously wounded, and nearly 4,000 people were captured. What a big win! ”
Guan Yu even sighed with emotion: "Big brother! Such a big victory is a big victory that we have never had since we started our troops in Zhuo County! Yuan Shu of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, is not still defeated by us!? ”
Guan Yu's arrogant temperament is gradually accumulated by each victory, and since Liu Bei already knows the general trend of history, he categorically cannot let Guan Yu's temperament develop wantonly.
"Alas!"
Liu Bei sighed deliberately, and then said: "Yun Chang, don't be happy too early, this Yuan Shu is not in Shouchun at all, to put it bluntly, we just took down this empty palace and defeated the remnants of Yuan Shu's abandoned army." ”
When Guan Yu heard this, his face, which was already red, swollen even redder.
Liu Bei continued: "Although we have defeated the remnants of Yuan Shu this time, we must not breed arrogance and chronic affection! Cloud Chief! Sooner or later, you will become the commander of one side, and then this arrogance will surely become a danger to the defeat of the city. ”
Guan Yu was ashamed, hugged his fists and said: "What the eldest brother teaches is that the younger brother remembers!" ”
"Zihui! How's the matter with grain and grass? At this time, we are waiting for nearly 10,000 troops, and food and grass are really the biggest problem in front of us. ”
Liu Hui showed a smile and replied, "My lord! There are still as many as 50,000 stones of grain and grass in Shouchun City, which is enough for us to support for more than a month, and the lord can rest assured. ”
Liu Bei strode up to the hall, turned to face the generals, and said sharply: "The army will rest for a day, and tomorrow it will march into Xuzhou!" ”
*************************
Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
The breeze is gentle, and the sky is clear.
On the winding official road, a horse-drawn carriage came. On top of the carriage, a middle-aged man, wearing a scarf on his head, leaned on his back in the cabin, one foot hovered on top of the carriage, and the other foot drooped on the side of the carriage, swaying back and forth, very comfortable.
On the side of the carriage, a man strode forward with the reins in his hand, with an iron beard and teeth, black face and red lips, a square sunhat on his head, and a pair of warrior boots on his feet.
"Mr. Xu! The front is to the boundary of Pengcheng. ”
Zhou Cang looked around, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, turned around and smirked, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, looking like he had finally returned home and couldn't hide his surging mood.
Xu Shu smiled and responded to Zhou Cang, staring blankly ahead, worried about Liu Bei, the lord of Huainan, who was far away, and unconsciously let out a sigh: "Hmm! It's finally here, and I really don't know how the lord is doing. ”
"Ah Fu!" (Xu Shu's milk name, and Adou are of the same nature.) )
A kind and kind voice came from the carriage.
Xu Shu turned around and said, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
"Uncle Liu Huang is the orthodoxy of the Han family, the emperor uncle of the Son of Heaven, and he is even more kind to the four seas and famous in China. You must be good at assisting Uncle Huang, and you must not live up to this chest to learn. ”
"Mother! Remember your teachings, children. ”
In ancient times, scholars were not powerless, and Confucianism had six arts, which were to shoot the number of books with etiquette and music. Among them, archery represents archery, which is the art of drawing a bow and archery; The royal representative drove a car, but he had the ability to drive a horse-drawn carriage.
Xu Shu is a scholarly family, but he was ignorant when he was a child, and felt that martial arts was the way to level the world, so he focused on practicing swordsmanship and archery skills, which made other homework slightly inferior.
And after killing and escaping, Fang suddenly woke up to the fact that no matter how strong the martial arts are, it is just the work of a reckless man, and only by cultivating ten thousand enemies can it be the real road to peace in the world.
This time I returned to my hometown to visit relatives and welcomed my mother to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, and happened to meet my fellow villager friend Shi Tao. Shi Tao talked with Xu Shu for a long time and invited him to rush to Jingzhou to study, where Sima Hui, a famous scholar, was running a school.
Sima Hui! Yingchuan Yang Zhai people, and Xu Shu Shi Tao is a fellow villager.
And Xu Shu! has also moved the heart to go south to study, but I owe a promise to my lord Liu Bei, and my mother does not allow it. Only then did he accompany his mother and Zhou Cang to Xuzhou.
Before reaching the city gate, Zhou Cang stopped the carriage, and his face was a little heavy.
"Mr. Xu! You see. ”
Zhou Cang looked back at Xu Shu and pointed his finger in the direction of Xuzhou City.
Xu Shu looked around, on the head of the city several zhang high, there were many soldiers, and the flag covered the sun. At the city gate, there is an additional sentry post to strictly check the passers-by.
Not far away, a team of dozens of people was galloping back, and the stirred up a burst of dust swept the sky!
The atmosphere in Xuzhou is obviously wrong, and there is a bit of a smell of mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings.
"What's wrong?"
In the tent, Xu Mu poked her head out, squinted her eyes and stared forward, and asked.
"This is not Cao Jun of Xuzhou headquarters, but the elite of Cao Cao in Xuchang."
Zhou Cang couldn't help but say on the side of the carriage.
Xu Shu nodded, was silent for a moment, and turned to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang! Let's go to Xiapi. ”
The carriage traveled not far from the city of Pengcheng, Zhou Cang looked up, was shocked, paused for a moment, pretended to be calm, and hurriedly led the horse forward.
Xu Shu seemed to have discovered Zhou Cang's abnormality, and hurriedly waved his sleeves to shade the sun, looking up at the city.
"Sir! Don't look around. ”
Zhou Cang lowered the brim of his hat and quickened his pace slightly.
"Stop that carriage for me!"
There was a thunderclap roar above the city, and then there was the sound of horses stomping behind him.
Zhou Cang paused, stopped the carriage, turned around and bowed to greet him with a smile.
Dozens of big men in front of him, all wearing armor and hanging swords from their waists, turned over and dismounted, glared angrily, and did not answer, and directly inspected the carriage.
The strong man pressed the sword with one hand, crossed his waist with the other, held his head high, glanced at Xu Shu with squinted eyes, and said unceremoniously: "The person inside is your mother?" ”
Xu Shu shook his hands and smiled: "Exactly!" ”
"Where did you come from and where are you going?"
Zhou Cang owes his body, takes out dozens of big coins from his arms, turns the horse, reaches out and stuffs it into the strong man's hand, hehehehehe is a smile.
"I'm waiting to come from Yingchuan, this is my son-in-law, and the one in the car is my housewife. This time, if you want to go to Picheng and visit relatives and friends, you will return in about three or five days. ”
The strong man looked at the big money in his hand, smiled knowingly, nodded his head, and did not continue to speak, but shouted towards the city wall: "There is no suspicion of visiting relatives and friends down to Pi." ”
Those strong men turned over and got on their horses, and Xu Shu took the opportunity to ask: "Dare to ask this official, what happened to this Pengcheng?" ”
"Didn't you come back in three or five days? Better hurry, there may be a war here! ”
Fight!? Xu Shu was stunned.
"What about Xiapi?"
When the strong man turned around, he threw out a sentence: "Fight under the pi." ”
Xu Shu looked at the city, the blind eye was very conspicuous, and the chirp ambition made him shudder!
