On the second day, in the peach orchard, Liu Bei and others placed black cows and white horse sacrifices and other items, and the four of them burned incense and bowed again and swore an oath: "Reading Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, although Xu Ning has different surnames, they are brothers, they will work together to help the poor; Report to the state, under An Lishu; I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven soil, learn from this heart, betrayal and ingratitude, heaven and man kill together! ”

After Liu Bei and the four of them worshiped heaven and earth, they then said to Xu Ning and the other three: "I have eight out of twenty this year, I don't know how many brothers are this year?" ”

Xu Ning also said happily and loudly: "Tianpeng is twenty and six this year. "After a year of closed combat power, Xu Ning is almost twenty-six this year.

Then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said their ages one after another, and at the end, everyone agreed on their age.

Liu Bei's eldest brother, Xu Ning ranked second, Guan Yu was the third, and Zhang Fei was the fourth.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother." Liu Bei hugged each other with his fists and was polite to Xu Ning and the other three for a while.

"Big Brother ......"

(Here Liu Bei's four brothers greet each other with a thousand words)

After a few days, when Xu Ning and the four of them packed up their military horses and weapons, they all hated that there were no horses to ride. While Liu Bei and the other four were thinking, Zhang Fei's servant reported that two guests had come: "The owner, there are businessmen who have come to invest in the village, please ask a few owners to take a look." ”

So Liu Bei and Xu Ning went to the door to greet each other. Especially Zhang Fei, who was rude, hurriedly rushed outside and picked up these businessmen.

The two merchants drove a herd of horses and threw themselves into the farm because of the problem of lodging and food. Liu Xuande said: "God bless me!" ”

After the four of them went out of the village to greet them, they learned that these two merchants were Zhongshan merchants: one named Zhang Shiping and the other named Su Shuang, who went north every year to sell horses, and recently came back because the thieves intercepted the way of the two of them. Liu Xuande invited the two to eat wine and meat in the village, and treated each other with sincerity.

Then Liu Bei told the two businessmen that he wanted to crusade against the thieves. The two businessmen were overjoyed in their hearts, and threatened to give away fifty good horses to Liu Bei and the four of them, which made Zhang Fei so stunned that he was a toast: "Come on, come on, the two heroes drink." ”

Then the two merchants saw Liu Bei's warm hospitality and gave them five hundred taels of gold and silver, and one thousand catties of iron, which were used to build weapons.

After Liu Bei treated the two businessmen well, the two of them also said goodbye because they had to rest for a few days on the road.

Guan Yu said with a red face and a dry face: "It's really a hero's help!" The four of us brothers finally have some resources to start a problem. Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair, so handsome and chic.

Xu Ning touched his chin and sighed in his heart: "Is this the protagonist's aura?" Someone is here to deliver things, so cool! ”

A few days later, Liu Bei invited Xu Ning, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to a well-known blacksmith shop, wanting to use the good iron given by the two merchants to build a few good weapons for himself and others.

"Second brother, what kind of weapon do you need? Let's hear it. Liu Bei smiled and said to Xu Ning, he no longer dared to underestimate Xu Ning, who seemed to be physically weak.

Xu Ning thought about it again and again, when he was fighting with Sun Wukong in the South Heavenly Gate of Heavenly Court, he used the nine-toothed nail rake to feel it, but because of that, he sent himself to the Hades Palace without saying a word. He didn't even have a treasure artifact with him.

"Big brother, I want to build such a weapon......"

Therefore, Xu Ning plans to create a weapon similar to the nine-tooth nail rake! After all, Xu Ning is used to it.

When Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Xu Ning's narration, they all looked at Xu Ning stupidly, and Liu Bei said to Xu Ning politely: "Second brother, you can't laugh at this, there are only so many irons, how can it be used to build it indiscriminately!" ”

Zhang Fei was not as elegant as Liu Bei, he laughed directly in front of everyone in the blacksmith shop: "Second brother, where are you a weapon!" Is it clearly a rake for scraping manure with a few more nails? ”

Guan Yu looked cold, and at this time, he also frowned and whispered to Xu Ning: "Second brother, are you wrong in your description." ”

Alas! To tell the three of you clearly, this is a replica of the nine-toothed nail rake that my Marshal Tianpeng became famous for in the first battle. Do I still have to say to you, stupid Zhang Fei, your second brother, I am an immortal who can talk to each other in the sky and Rulai.

The blacksmith who carefully recorded their description of the weapon was also dumbfounded, he had never made such a rake like a dung-like weapon.

Xu Ning looked at Liu Bei, who was hesitating, and Zhang Fei, who was smirking on the side, and immediately made a promise: "Big brother, second brother, third brother don't worry, just build it according to what I described, and let you see the power of my nine-tooth nail rake when the time comes." ”

Liu Bei saw this Xu Ning said very seriously, so he was also a little relieved, maybe his brother has some housekeeping skills that they don't know yet: "Okay, just build it according to what my brother said, and when the time comes, I will look at my brother's divine might." ”

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu both showed warlike intent and curiosity in their eyes, but they wanted to see what tricks the second brother was playing in his heart: "Look at the majesty of the second brother at that time." ”

So Liu Bei ordered a good craftsman to build his double-strand sword. The nine-tooth nail rake described by Xu Ning weighs 100 catties, and Yun Changzao Qinglong Yanyue knife, also known as "Leng Yan saw", weighs 82 catties. Zhang Fei made eight steel spears, each with full body armor.

Then Liu Bei and the other four gathered more than 500 brave and strong men in the nearby villages, and threw them into the current Liu Yan's account together.

"Boom!"

The sound of drums filled the entire camp.

"Report, report that the Yellow Turban thief will lead Cheng Yuanzhi to command 50,000 troops to invade Zhuo County." A messenger rushed to Liu Bei, Xu Ning, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were sitting in the camp.

Zhang Fei immediately slapped on the table and shouted: "Okay, I've been waiting for a long time, a few brothers will take a break for the time being, and I'll kill this Cheng Yuanzhi." ”

"Yide, don't be reckless, sit down." Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei shouting like this, others have 50,000 soldiers and horses, how can they fight.

Just when Xu Ning also wanted to scold Hanzi for being reckless, a soldier wearing armor came to the camp tent and clenched his fists and said: "Taishou Liu Yan ordered your five hundred soldiers to go to meet the enemy, and when the time comes, the army will come back and destroy Cheng Yuanzhi." ”

Liu Bei immediately stood up and clasped his fists at the person who sent the order and replied, "Liu Bei takes the order." ”

Xu Ning smiled after waiting for no one else in the camp to come: "This Lord Taishou wants us to die!" 500 against 50,000 people, even if the army is overwhelmed by then, our 500 people will be completely annihilated. ”

"Alas! The eldest husband has done something and has not done anything, and since he is already under someone else's account, he must obey orders. Liu Bei sat on the chair and closed his eyes and pondered, but he never thought of a good countermeasure.

"This dog thief is too guarded, I'll fly to get his head." Saying that, Zhang Fei was about to rush out of the camp tent to the posture of the Taishou Mansion, if no one stopped him, Zhang Fei's temperament would definitely be done.

"Fourth brother sit, don't be impatient." Xu Ning even flattened the Monkey King, is he still afraid of this little Cheng Yuanzhi? Then he said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, since Taishou wants us to meet the enemy, then we will go, which is both dangerous and hidden." ”

When Liu Bei heard Xu Ning look like this, he thought that Xu Ning had some good countermeasures, and hurriedly asked, "What does the second brother mean by this?" What opportunities? ”

"Since we want to go out of the city to meet the enemy, then we are not afraid, at present, Cheng Yuanzhi's army has not yet reached the city tower, although the 50,000 army is huge, but we only need to go to the foot of Daxing Mountain, where there is no big road, only intricate mountain paths, where the 50,000 army is of no use at all, and they are all blocked behind."

Xu Ning looked at the rough map on the table, and said to Liu Bei with a mysterious look: "When the time comes, our four brothers will lead five hundred warriors to attack and retreat, and we are afraid that we will not be able to rise in the army. ”

When Liu Bei heard Xu Ning's big talk, his heart was full of enthusiasm, and he suddenly said: "Okay!" is worthy of being my second brother, resourceful. According to what the second brother said, he immediately went to Daxing Mountain. ”

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Ning and touched his head, and said with doubts: "Second brother, you are good at kung fu, and your brain is so good, what did you eat?" ”

"Hahahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter from inside the camp.

So Liu Xuande and the other four people, commanding 500 sergeants, rushed to the foot of Daxing Mountain overnight, until the foot of Daxing Mountain, made all preparations for countermeasures, and just waited for Cheng Yuanzhi's arrival.
