More than a dozen people, more than a dozen horses, and several old soldiers stood on the city tower and looked around for a long time, all of them were shocked after confirming that the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Expeditionary troops who had just passed here not long ago had fled back to Yizhou.

The old man squatted beside the stable, smoking the dry tobacco that had been with him for decades, and he was worried.

There are no people in this city, counting Lao Zhangtou, there are only eight defenders in total, and the youngest is over half a hundred years old.

When the other seven old soldiers were young, they had to call Lao Zhangtou the old captain, and now the recruits have become rickety veterans, and Lao Zhangtou still takes them to fight in the army.

They have no children and no relatives all their lives, and the military camp is their only destination.

Looking at the group of young soldiers who were dressed very majesticly and gnawed on their nests and had nothing to eat, the old man couldn't help but pout, he fled in such a hurry, there must be pursuers behind him, and it may not be long before he will appear outside the city.

Sure enough, before Lao Zhangtou's bag of cigarettes was finished, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the east and west of the city at the same time.

He knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand to the ground, stood up, and gave a few orders to the two old subordinates, and after watching the two brothers who had been with him for more than 20 years staggering up the city tower, he sighed and walked towards the west gate.

Rushing all the way, even the saliva can be drunk, why not turn over and dismount, look around where there is a well, and suddenly find an old man with gray hair standing in front of him, just wanted to come forward to ask, but was stunned, surprised to find that the old man was wearing a military uniform.

Why don't you blink your eyes, your mind is spinning rapidly, although not long after joining the army, he can also tell the difference between the military uniform of an ordinary soldier and a general and a captain, he has seen it since he became a general in his early twenties, but this beard is white but he is still a low-level pawn, but it is the first time he has seen it.

Lao Zhangtou put his hands behind his back, like an uncle next door, walked up to He Bushun, and glanced at the thousand fierce soldiers behind him, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

On this point, why not shun instantly respected the old man, the gang of guys behind him, even the brave soldiers of the Tianji Battalion were stunned when they saw it, the old man's calmness was by no means an ordinary person.

Lao Zhangtou took out a cigarette pouch and pot from his waist, lit the fire, took a few puffs, choked and only rubbed his eyes, but under the old man's aura, he was silent, and honestly waited for instructions.

"That's all there are here?" After being silent for a long time, Lao Zhangtou finally opened his mouth, but it was obviously a questioning tone.

The mourning dog who caught who bit whom was about to rush up, but was stopped by He Bushun, he looked the old man up and down, and said cautiously: "You are always?" ”

Lao Zhangtou didn't even raise his head, looked at the yellow earth under his feet, spit out smoke rings, and said in a deep voice: "I'm nothing, just a bad old man who has been a soldier for more than 50 years." ”

He Bushun heard Master He Old Man say that as long as a person concentrates on one thing in his life, he must achieve something, this is the perception of Old Man He's own life, and it is also to let He Bushun concentrate on practicing martial arts, He Bushun has always scoffed, and when I saw the old man today, I suddenly felt that what Master said was very reasonable.

The old man who has been a soldier for more than 50 years and has been thrown in the barracks for most of his life is quite a bit of a master in the eyes of He Bushun.

Lao Zhangtou suddenly raised his head, his face was sad, he pointed to the only wooden house in the city that could barely be called a house, and said: "The emperor and his old man are inside, and he is hungry, and even his subordinates have eaten all our brother's rations for three days, have you brought dry food?" ”

He Bushun subconsciously swallowed his saliva, this is also what he was trying to say to the old man, when he came out, he only cared about being handsome, and forgot about the dry food, but fortunately, the group of people who brought it turned out to be not willing to farm the land in their respective villages.

He Bushun, who was also hungry, looked at the old man's expectant eyes, shook his head embarrassedly, and the two looked at each other, and there was silence for a while.

Lao Zhangtou finished smoking a bag of cigarettes in front of everyone, and said: "Don't worry if you don't have food, you can't stay here anyway, the chasing soldiers are already here, you hurry up and take the emperor and his old man, let's run." ”

"That'...... What about you? He Bushun suddenly asked a question that he shouldn't have cared about.

The old man with a face full of vicissitudes looked around the dilapidated old city, smiled, and did not speak.

A violent sound came from the direction of the east city gate, and Lao Zhangtou turned his head suddenly, looked at the city gate that had begun to shake violently under the impact of hitting the wood, gritted his teeth and said: "There's no time to talk nonsense, take people away!" ”

After that, Lao Zhangtou thrust the cigarette gun into his waist, and ran towards the East City Gate, his movements were as swift as the young man's, causing He Bushun and the thousand wicked men under him to look at him in surprise and admiration.

Seeing that Lao Zhangtou rushed to the city tower, why not rush to the wooden house immediately, commanding a group of people to help the weak Liu Bei out, but found that the hero, who had been fighting horses all his life, could no longer sit on horseback.

As long as you can ride a horse, there is always a way to escape, but if you rely on only two legs, I am afraid that you will not even be able to reach the White Emperor City, and you will have to be caught up by the pursuers of Eastern Wu.

The mourning dog rushed up, threw the trance-stricken Liu Bei on the horse, pulled out a rope tied to the tent from under the saddle, and tied it without saying a word.

When the dozen or so young soldiers who fled back with Liu Bei saw it, they were immediately shocked, and shouted for help, but when they saw the mourning dog turning their heads to look at their fierce eyes, they immediately lost their voices.

The strength of the mourning dog's hand made He Bushun grin when he looked at it, and he had been carefully guarding the side, for fear that he would strangle His Majesty the emperor to death, and after tying Liu Bei Wuhuanda to the horse, He Bushun also deliberately walked to Liu Bei, stretched out two fingers to probe his nose, and after making sure that he was still angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Why not wave his hand, all the 1,000 people under his command turned over and got on the horse, and the one who was entrusted with the important task was naturally the only one who was not so hateful Xiaodouzi, not because of how exquisite Xiaodouzi's equestrian skills were, in addition to being afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would wake up and see the face of the mourning dog and faint again, only Xiaodouzi's thin figure could put a big living person on horseback.
