Sometimes, Zhang Fei was a little stunned, if it wasn't for Guan Yu to remind him, he might really stay in Xiaopei and fight with Cao Cao, and he didn't think about abandoning Xiaopei City. He is that kind of person, when he does things, he will definitely renew his commitment and keep his loyalty until he has to do things.

However, now that Guan Yu reminded him, Zhang Fei could react immediately. He understood that what Guan Yu said was right, although he and Guan Yu and Liu Bei are still righteous brothers, but in his and Guan Yu's hearts, they are now more towards the New Han Dynasty and the little brother Liu Yi back then.

Seriously, if it weren't for the original promise, not because of the worship of heaven and earth, not because of the loyalty in my heart. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already abandoned Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei is thick and fine, don't look at his usual swagger, he is stunned from time to time, but in Zhang Fei's emotions, there is also a thoughtful side. He heard Guan Yu say what happened after meeting Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Zhang Fei immediately felt that Liu Bei, the eldest brother, asked him to defend in Xiaopeicheng, which actually meant putting him to death. Or, Liu Bei, the eldest brother, in order to finally get Xuzhou and gain a foothold in Xuzhou, he plans to exchange his life. In other words, in Liu Bei's heart, he, the third brother of righteousness, is not as important as a small Peicheng or Xuzhou.

Zhang Fei's heart was a little lonely, and he quietly listened to Guan Yu's words.

"Second brother, Cao Cao's army is estimated to be coming soon, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you say, should we withdraw the military horses now?" Zhang Fei said a little disheartened.

From Zhang Fei's standpoint, he thinks. There was no need for Liu Bei to let him defend in Xiaopei City. Well, it's not that Zhang Fei doesn't dare to defend, it's not that Zhang Fei is afraid of death. But as Guan Yu said, even if he dies, he must die worthily. Zhang Fei has also fought for so many years, and he doesn't understand anything. In his heart, although he is not afraid of Cao Cao, there are some things. It can be seen clearly with the naked eye, that is, with Cao Cao's current strength, Liu Bei is afraid that it is unlikely that he will gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou. Pin your hopes on Yuan Shao. Even Zhang Fei, a rough man, felt a little unreliable.

Moreover, regarding Liu Bei's sudden announcement of the emperor's blood edict and public denunciation of Cao Cao, Zhang Fei also felt that Liu Bei, the eldest brother, was a little unauthentic. Well. Didn't you say it well? Send the emperor's blood edict to Yuan Shao. In exchange, Yuan Shao sent troops to support Xuzhou. This is well said, you can see the situation of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fighting, they are in Xuzhou, they can take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold, but Liu Bei announced the emperor's blood edict to the world on his own. Liu Bei did so. Even Zhang Fei didn't think it should be. If you have a good job, you will give it to Yuan Shao. Wouldn't it be nice to let Yuan Shao go to war with Cao Cao? If you have to make so many things, Yuan Shao doesn't seem to want to pay attention to his Liu Bei's life or death at all.

Well, Zhang Fei felt that even if it was himself and he was put on a position, his heart would be inappropriate.

In addition, Zhang Fei believes that aside from various reasons, there is no need for Liu Bei to put himself in a mortal situation. This question, don't take anything Liu Bei has no way to talk about. Because, Zhang Fei feels that all the problems he is facing now are actually not problems. Because, Liu Bei's situation, no matter how unfavorable it is, he is not without a good place to go. Zhang Fei thinks, it's a big deal, everyone goes to the New Han Dynasty together, won't there be no problems?

Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out in his heart, Liu Bei, the eldest brother, why every time they talked about joining the New Han Dynasty, he would look gloomy and not think about it at all? This question has been doubting Zhang Fei's heart for a long time. From the time when Liu Yi was appointed by the first emperor as the disaster relief grain officer, Liu Yi went to Julu County, Jizhou, to relieve the people there. At that time, they were still in Anxi County, and at that time, they could go to Liu Yi completely. However, Liu Bei, the eldest brother, went to vote for Gongsun Zhan. followed, their dealings with Liu Yi were not small, but every time, Liu Bei, the eldest brother, seemed to have some opinions on Liu Yi, and always at some critical moments, it seemed that he had a relationship with Liu Yi, and when Liu Yi needed their help, Liu Bei chose to retreat.

For example, when Liu Yi was in Julu County, facing the attack of Zhang Yan of Montenegro, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu wanted to go to help, but Liu Bei, who had just voted for Gongsun Zhan, was indifferent at all. Later, Liu Yi joined forces with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to destroy Zhang Yan, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu wanted to fight Liu Yi together, but Liu Bei retreated again and returned to Pingyuan County with them for no reason.

Zhang Fei really couldn't figure it out, they were originally good brothers, why did they make them look like strangers and enemies? When the Liu Yi brothers needed them the most, they had to stand by and watch, and these have always been things that Zhang Fei felt a little sorry for Liu Yi in his heart.

In Xuzhou, Liu Bei also let him and Guan Yu attack Liu Yi, almost letting them kill Liu Yi by mistake.

Well...... Don't say any of this, anyway, now in Zhang Fei's heart, he really doesn't have any expectations for Liu Bei.

He didn't blame Liu Bei for wanting to put him to death, but felt that, as Guan Yu said, if it was something worthwhile, even if he was broken, he would defend Liu Bei for Liu Bei, and he didn't need Liu Bei to act like a fool at all.

Therefore, Zhang Fei is now, in frustration, he suddenly has the idea of evacuating Xiaopei.

Guan Yu did not respond directly to Zhang Fei's words, but stretched out his hand and pressed Zhang Fei's shoulder and said: "Third brother, you can do this matter, in short, now there is a way out for you, you immediately go and see if that secret path can still be used, if it can be used, even if it is besieged by Cao Cao, it can ensure that you can escape from Xiaopei safely." Remember, after escaping from Xiaopei, you don't have to come back, let's go to Luoyang to meet the Liu Yi brothers first. If I have the opportunity, I will also go to the second brother. ”

"Good! I know what to do. Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu say this, and knew that Guan Yu had acquiesced to his idea of evacuating Xiaopeicheng.

He thought for a while and said, "By the way, second brother, you're going back to Xuzhou overnight, right?" If Xiaopei is lost, Cao Cao's army will soon reach Xuzhou. When the time comes, you have to be careful, second brother. ”

"I don't have to worry about you, third brother, the second brother has already made arrangements. When the time comes, I will find an excuse to go to Xiapi. Guan Yu then told Zhang Fei that Mi Zhu had sent his second brother Mi Fang to Xiapi.

"It turns out that the second brother has already made arrangements, so I can rest assured. In this way, I will look at the situation and keep Xiaopei for three or two days. Zhang Fei also used his brain and said: "If that secret road can really lead directly to about ten miles outside the city, then." I'm afraid I can't leave too early, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll run into Cao Cao's army head-on. The most rear. After Cao Cao's army surrounds Xiaopeicheng, let's leave from the secret passage. ”

"Oh, yes, third brother, you also know how to use your brain. Well. You don't say. I forgot that the exit to the secret passage was on the west side of the city. Guan Yu kidnapped the long hair, glanced at Zhang Fei appreciatively, and then frowned again, and said, "By the way, third brother, it's not too early now, so I'll take advantage of the night to secretly leave the city first." Remember to check out the secret passage right away. I doubt it. That secret passage may be an ancient secret passage in Xiaopei City, and it will not be dug out by the Mi family. After all, ten miles, how much manpower and material resources do it take to excavate it? Xiao Pei has always been a place where soldiers fight, and there is a secret passage underground, which is not surprising, and I am afraid that the secret passage will fall into disrepair and be blocked. ”

"Okay, it's not too early, I'll send you out of the city...... Alas, second brother, we can't sit down and have a drink this time, and when we meet next time, we will be drunk again. Zhang Fei was a little reluctant.

"Don't drink during this time, drink and make mistakes, remember to remember." Guan Yu didn't say anything more, told Zhang Fei, turned around and left.

Zhang Feizhen sent Guan Yu to the city gate, Guan Yu refused Zhang Fei to send him again, and the group quietly disappeared into the night.

Zhang Fei had been fighting for a day, and he was already very tired. However, he still beat his spirit and ordered his own soldiers to supervise the soldiers defending the city, so that everyone should be careful. Then, he called his own generals, ordered a hundred or two hundred people, and found the place where Guan Yu said the entrance to the secret passage.

Three tall aspen trees are easy to find.

The courtyard where the poplar tree is located is inhabited, Zhang Fei stepped forward and opened the door, and the people in the house made a code, and sure enough, it was the person Mi Zhu arranged to guard here.

Well, although these people were arranged here by Mi Zhu, they didn't know that there was a secret passage here. Zhang Fei took a moment's notice, and saw that they didn't know what they were guarding, they only thought that Mi Zhu asked them to guard this courtyard here and guard the Mi family's assets.

Since they didn't know the Dao, there was no need for Zhang Fei to let them know the Dao, so he took some money and handed it to them, so that they could leave Xiaopei and go back to report to Mi and the others that Zhang Fei had received this courtyard. Those people, when they heard that Cao Cao's army was about to besiege the city, knew that it might be dangerous for them to stay in Xiaopei City, so they didn't say anything, and hurriedly left Xiaopei and went back to Xuzhou to report the situation to Mi Zhu.

Zhang Fei ordered people to guard the courtyard, not allowing anyone to approach, and then took dozens of cronies to surround the rockery in the courtyard, looking for a mechanism that could open the entrance to the tunnel.

When he did it deliberately, it didn't take long for Zhang Fei to find a big stone that could be moved, and after moving the big stone away, he saw that there was indeed a ring.

Under the pull, the rockery can actually be separated from it, revealing a dark and secluded secret passage entrance.

Zhang Fei seems to be brave and resourceful, but he is a lover of culture. It is rumored that Zhang Fei's calligraphy is quite good, and I heard that he can also paint, especially good at painting plums.

In other words, Zhang Fei himself is not an illiterate person, on the contrary, he is still more interested in some elegant things. Well, saying this, it is not to say how cultured Zhang Fei is, but to say that Zhang Fei actually has a little understanding of some things.

As soon as he saw such a cleverly designed secret passage entrance, and then looked at the craftsmanship of building this secret passage entrance, Zhang Fei somewhat agreed with what Guan Yu said to him, this secret passage is estimated to have been discovered by Mi Zhu occasionally, and it is definitely not excavated by Mi and others. If it is a newly dug secret passage, there will definitely not be that sense of historical heaviness.

Well, in this era, there should not be an archaeologist's statement, but, according to what later generations said, this Zhang Fei should also be said to be an archaeologist with half a bucket of water, or in other words, Zhang Fei has indeed read a lot of books and is quite interested in some ancient things.

As soon as he saw the entrance to this secret passage, his whole body was a little stunned.

A dark entrance to a secret passage. It is a staircase obliquely down to the bottom, and I don't know how deep the road is to the bottom, wet and heavy mildew. Pouring out of the secret passage.

Those classes were paved with a kind of white stone, if it weren't for the fact that he had already known that Lu Dao was the entrance to a secret passage, Zhang Fei would have thought that he had found a treasure.

Zhang Fei did not rush into the entrance of the secret passage, but waited for the mildew in the secret passage to dissipate a little before entering.

While he waited, he carefully observed the situation around the entrance to this secret passage, even. He held torches on the stone steps paved with white stones, and squatted down to take a closer look. While watching, I wiped the dust off the white stone steps with my hands.

Those soldiers all looked at Zhang Fei a little inexplicably, but no one dared to say more.

"Huh? This white stone seems to have words. Come. First clean the dirt on these white stones, and let so-and-so see what is written in these words. Zhang Fei touched the white stones, touched some lines, and felt that it was words, so he asked the soldiers to come over and sober up.

After a while, the soldiers sobered up a lot of white stone steps.

Zhang Fei took the torch closer, and he saw clearly, those were indeed words. However, he didn't know him. OK. Among the people who came, there was a civil official who was knowledgeable and admired by Zhang Fei. Usually, this civil official has a good relationship with Zhang Fei, and he can talk to Zhang Fei more easily, and he has been introduced by Zhang Fei as a confidant.

The civil official approached to take a look, but he sighed and said: "Three generals, it's amazing, these characters are not the Chinese characters we use now, they should be the pre-Qin script, to be precise, they should be the scripts of Wei among the Seven Warring States Kingdoms." On this white stone, the words that should be carved are only carved by the stonemasons who excavated these white stones, mainly engraved numbers. There is only one useful piece of information among them, which is that these white stones were excavated and transported by Lu Gong, and there are dates on them. ”

"Lu Gong? What Lu Gong? Zhang Fei said puzzled.

"Well, the three generals and so on." This civil official is pinching his fingers and calculating something, and he also looks like he has words on his lips.

"How?" Zhang Fei saw it for a while, but the civil official was still frowning and calculating, and couldn't help but urge.

Syllable!

The civil official patted his thigh, and said with a little excited expression: "Third general, my subordinates know what to do." Hehe......"

This guy, as he spoke, actually laughed stupidly, making Zhang Fei anxious, "Which Lu Gong is it?" You mean. ”

"Hehe, Third General, don't worry about this, wait for your subordinates to talk to you slowly."

"Uh, okay, let's take it slowly." Zhang Fei saw that this guy was so excited that he didn't know where he was, he glared at him angrily, waved his hand and said, "Brothers, quickly, take a look along this secret passage and find the exit at the other end." Well, be careful, everybody. ”

"Let's go, talk as we go." After Zhang Fei finished explaining to the soldiers, he asked the civilian official to follow and speak.

"Third general, I guess you can't imagine who dug up this secret passage." This guy still wants to sell Guanzi.

"Phew, do you want to say it? I can guess, why do I need to ask you? Zhang Fei raised his leg and really wanted to give him a kick.

"Don't, don't...... Three generals, you should know the way of the founding emperor of our Han Dynasty, right? The civil official said.

"Zhilu Dao, Emperor Wu of Han? Emperor Gaozu? Zhang Fei remembered that the Great Han Dynasty was divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and said the two emperors respectively, after saying that, his eyes widened, and he said to the civil official in surprise: "You mean, this secret road was excavated by the emperor?" ”

"No, no, but, there should be some relationship." The civil official waved his hand and said to Zhang Fei: "Third general, you can't guess, right?" This secret path may be longer than the history of our Han Dynasty, and it has something to do with Emperor Gaozu of our Han Dynasty. ”

"Huh? Our old black remembers, Emperor Gaozu, isn't he from Pei County? Lu Gong? Is it Empress Lu's father? Zhang Fei actually knows some allusions to the Han Dynasty, at least he knows that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, is a native of Pei County, and he knows that Liu Bang, the queen of Liu Bang.

"Ha Luha, that's right, if the subordinates are not miscalculated, this secret passage should be dug up by Lu Gong's order. At that time, I was afraid that only Lu Gong could have such a large amount of human and financial resources to dig such a secret escape in secret. ”

"Oh? Or is that really the case? Tell me, how did you figure it out? Zhang Fei is really a little curious about this.

"Third general, you don't know what to do." This civil official is really knowledgeable, and he actually knows a lot of things that others don't know.

He said, "According to the calculations of his subordinates." Duke Lü took refuge and fled to Pei County, and when he came to Pei County, it was still during the Qin Emperor's period. At that time, Gao Zu should have been a teenager. At that time, although the Qin Emperor unified the world, made the cars the same, and unified the measurement of words or something. However, at that time, the Qin Emperor's rule in the world was still too short, so even if the script was unified, it was not possible for all people in the world to use the same script in a short period of time. Therefore, the words engraved on the white stone are the characters of Wei at that time. However, if these words were discovered by the imperial court at that time, they would be beheaded, so the words engraved on the white stone also looked relatively obscure and should not be noticed. ”

"In addition, Duke Lu's family has a lot of money, and in order to take refuge, it is necessary to dig a secret way to escape. Therefore, this secret road is estimated to have been excavated by Lu Gong, the wife of Gaozu and the father of Empress Lu. In other words, this place is very likely to be the location of Lu Gong's Lu Mansion. (To be continued......)
