Chapter 22: The Pursuers

On the winding ancient road, the three riders went away.

Xu Shu frowned, his eyes were full of horror: "So that's the case!" This Cai Mao is also too ruthless, and he is so ruthless, but my lord, if I want to pacify Eastern Wu with 5,000 troops under my command, it will not be easy. ”

"Drive!"

Liu Bei whipped his whip and suddenly increased his speed, stared intently ahead, and sneered contemptuously: "It's not an easy task, it's even more difficult!" The Jiangdong Sun family has gone through three generations, and it has a lot of heritage, and the army and the people are united, and it is simply impossible to start. I'm waiting for this to go, and I'm going to die! ”

Kong Ming, who was beside him, suddenly spoke: "Then the lord is using this to escape?" Or do you insist on stepping on Soochow? ”

Ha ha

Liu Bei laughed, glanced at the young Kong Ming, and asked, "If I insist on stepping on the Eastern Wu, is Kong Ming willing to help me!?" ”

Kong Ming is not good at riding horses, as can be seen from his hands holding the reins and his stiff legs, but even so, Kong Ming still smiles: "That's nature! ”

"Good!" Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then I'll tell you the truth, Dongwu!" I'm going to settle it! ”

After saying that, Liu Bei and Kong Ming couldn't help laughing wildly, that divine synchronization can only be described with a heart and a soul.

Xu Shu suddenly felt that it seemed that Kong Ming and the lord Liu Bei were originally old friends who cherished each other, and it was very likely that they were old acquaintances in their last life.

"My lord! In view of Cai Mao's insidiousness, Liang thought that we should rush to Jingzhou by another road, otherwise Cai Mao would inevitably send heavy troops to encircle and suppress, and I couldn't wait for just three people, so how could I stop it? ”

"My lord! Seconded below. ”

Liu Bei sneered: "This road is the nearest road, if it is a temporary change of road, even if it is non-stop, it will take three more hours, and Liu Biao's wanted warrant will be sent to Jiangxia as soon as possible, if we wait for half an hour, Jiangxia will be in greater danger." In this way, the pursuers sent by Cai Mao are just a small harm, so what is the reason? ”

Kong Ming said: "Lord! Even so, Jiangxia still had the elite soldiers of the lord stationed there. Moreover, the lord is kind to Huang Zu, and he will definitely show mercy to the lord's subordinates, but the heavy army is not enough, as long as we escape Cai Mao's pursuit, we will be able to return to Jiangxia safely. ”

Behind him, Xu Shu caught up: "Lord! Kong Ming is right, this road is really dangerous. It's better to go the other way. ”

Ha ha

Liu Bei laughed: "Kong Ming is really resourceful, but don't forget, I boasted of Haikou in Xiangyang, and I want to set foot in Dongwu within three months, if it is half a minute late, I will know for Sun Quan within half a day, once Sun Quan is prepared, it will be really difficult for me to enter Jiangdong, so no matter what, this road must be taken!" Time waits for no one!! ”

Liu Bei's eyes were very firm. Without the slightest hesitation when he said this, Zhuge Liang only understood at this moment that his own lord had actually been eyeing Dongwu for a long time, and even if there was no such episode, he would definitely make a move against Jiangdong Sun Quan.

However, Jiangdong Sun Quan has strong strength, a solid foundation, and is assisted by ministers such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su, where did his lord get the confidence to be able to take down the six counties and eighty-one counties of Jiangdong with 5,000 troops?

Xu Shu on the side was puzzled and said, "Lord! But in a hurry. How can you easily send troops to Eastern Wu, once there is a single mistake, the whole army will inevitably be wiped out. ”

Before Liu Bei could speak, Kong Ming took the lead and said, "Yuan Zhi!" Don't you see it yet? In fact, the lord has been planning Soochow for a long time. Today's battle may have been prepared for a long time. ”

"Ahh

Xu Shu was taken aback, and even his face was gloomy, his own lord was really bold!!

Liu Bei threw a look of praise at Kong Ming, and smiled lightly: "Kong Ming is really a god." ”

"Where, where! The lord praises falsely, how can Liang deserve it? Kong Ming turned around mechanically, squeezing out an ugly smile. He asked again: "But the lord wants to cross the river at night with lightning speed, go straight to Chaisang, and kill Sun Quan!?" ”

Liu Bei was taken aback at first, but then calmed down, if Zhuge Liang didn't have any ability, how could he be called Wolong!?

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger's !!"

For Kong Ming's question, Liu Bei only had these eight words and a faint smile as an answer, even if it was such a simple response, it was enough to prove everything.

Thundered!

An inexplicable tremor struck, and suddenly it was like an earthquake, the whole earth was trembling slightly, and the dust on the official road seemed to be pulled by an inexplicable force, jumping irregularly.

"My lord! The pursuers are coming. ”

Kong Ming and Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei in unison, Liu Bei reined in the war horse, turned around and looked, the dust behind the hillside was full of dust, followed by hundreds of elite horsemen swept like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, the bright steel knife kept waving in the air, and the provocative shout was very penetrating, so that Liu Bei, who was ten miles away, had an inexplicable restlessness.

Liu Bei pulled out his double-strand sword, held one on the left and one on the left, and snorted coldly: "Cai Mao's movements are really fast enough!" Yuan Zhi, Kong Ming, you two go first, you have to rush back to Jiangxia as quickly as possible, go quickly! ”

Xu Shu was stunned, how can this work? It is the duty of a courtier to protect the lord, but now instead of saving the lord's life, he must let his own lord be fulfilled, is it possible that he was born to be a deserter?

Xu Shu took a deep breath: "Kong Ming! You go! I stayed behind to protect my lord. ”

Liu Bei was stunned, glanced back at the two, Xu Shu didn't leave, and Kong Ming, who was twenty years old, didn't even look like he had escaped.

After being overjoyed, Liu Bei frowned, pretended to be angry, and shouted: "The sword has no eyes, wait to leave quickly, don't hesitate, and kill your life!" I crawled out of the pile of dead people, and these minions can't kill me, don't worry. ”

Xu Shu laughed contemptuously, rode his horse on a level with Liu Bei, and looked at the elite rider in the distance: "Lord!" Did you forget? Shu Ranger was born, if you talk about swordsmanship, you may not lose to the lord! ”

This is already very clear, Xu Shu is going to fight with Liu Bei, even in the face of death, he is still calm and fearless, with such a strategist, Liu Bei suddenly felt very happy.

Glancing back at Kong Ming, Kong Ming turned over and dismounted, and shook the fan: "I've been riding a horse for so long, I'm really tired, I'll go to the forest to sit and rest first, rest and rest, and when this gang of thieves is destroyed, let's rush to Jiangxia together." With that, he calmly walked into the dense forest.

Xu Shu and Liu Bei couldn't help but smile at each other, don't look at Kong Mingming's young age, but he seems to have a kind of momentum on his body, calm, calm, and quite a kingly demeanor.

Xu Shu stretched out his hand in front of Liu Bei and shook it slightly.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Bei suddenly asked.

Xu Shu looked embarrassed: "Lord! You don't want me to fight the elite cavalry with my bare hands, do you? ”

"Oh!" Only then did Liu Bei react, and casually threw a sword to Xu Shu, and teased: "Yuan Zhi! Don't be reluctant, protect yourself first and then kill the enemy. ”

Xu Shu didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"The big-eared thief is gone!"

"Hugh took away the big-eared thief !!"

“”

Sou!

A tiger arrow swirled, piercing the air, causing a sharp roar, and shooting straight at Liu Bei, how weird was that angle? It's so daunting that I forget what resistance is!

But who is Liu Bei!? After more than ten years of fighting, basically the battlefield has become his main home, firewood, rice, oil and salt are swords, halberds, hooks and forks, and a tiger and arrow, what a way!

The ears unconsciously stirred, and the fighting spirit in his heart was instantly ignited, as there were more and more generals under his command, it seemed that he had not fought on the battlefield in person for a long time, so let's fight hard today!

Suddenly, the hand was cold, and the arrow broke amazingly!

A white lightning galloped out with a chilling horse roar, Liu Bei braved the wind, and went straight into the thief army alone, only to hear the gong, qiang, qiang, a chaotic golden sound sounded, a wave swept by, and eight people had already fallen off the horse, and at this time it was unrecognizable.

Followed by Xu Shu and Liu Bei, they launched a second attack again, one in front and one in the back, although there were only two people, there was an arrogant posture of attacking back and forth.

Xu Shu is worthy of being a ranger, if you talk about swordsmanship, I am afraid that Liu Bei is not his opponent, although Xu Shu is a literati at first glance, but there is a ruthless intent in his bones, a strong and unyielding fighting intent, compared to Liu Bei, a master of swordsmanship, what he lacks is only the murderous aura after becoming a god in a hundred battles!

Cavalry fighting, life and death are only in a moment, when you pass by with the other, it is the time to decide your fate, although at this time Liu Bei and Xu Shu are already covered in blood and panting, but they are still the darlings of fate, after dozens of rushing and killing, they are still sitting proudly on the horse, and the other party has fallen a piece.

But even so, the enemy still has an irreversible advantage, even if they line up for Xu and Liu to cut, it is enough for them to be so tired that they can't lift their swords, not to mention that the thief will not be this kind of lamb to the slaughter at all.

Liu Bei gasped heavily, the sword in his hand had begun to tremble, and he waved his sleeves to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Liu Bei glanced at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi!" I killed seventy-three, what about you? ”

Xu Shu took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and wiped off the blood stains on the long sword, a chilling chill penetrated into his heart, and snorted coldly: "Don't worry, lord!" Shu only killed four fewer people than the lord, and after the next rush, Shu will definitely be able to surpass. ”

Liu Bei looked ahead with cold eyes and snorted coldly: "Then what are you waiting for?" Kill me! ”

Xi Yuyu!

The war horse under the crotch roared violently, a white lightning bolt went straight into the thief formation, and the long sword once again waved wildly, fighting left and right, and the momentum of seeing death as home, and the horse leather shroud had shocked all the thieves.

At this time, it is difficult to become the motivation to win Liu Bei, for them, it is more important to save their lives, because only by saving their lives can they have the opportunity to win the heavy reward of the thousand gold, and living is the king. (To be continued.) )
