The night sky is clear and full of stars. In the summer night of Jizhou, the cool breeze is blowing, the night insects are chirping, and a few nightingales are crying, which is particularly infiltrating in the wild.

When Liu Yuan saw the scout's return, he grabbed the reins, ignored the low roar of the lion and tiger beast, and asked, "Where has Zhang Jiao been?" How far is the boundary bridge? ”

Liu Yuan wanted to prevent Zhang Jiao from escaping from the Jieqiao to cross the Qinghe, so he galloped his army overnight, wanting to make a detour to catch up with Zhang Jiao's army, block the way to the Jieqiao, and block it in Guangzong, so as to gather and annihilate it.

"Lord, Zhang Jiao's army has been left behind by our army thirty miles behind. Guangzong is more than 20 miles south, and the boundary bridge is 10 miles southeast of Guangzong. ”

"Hmm." Liu Yuan nodded, looked at the morning star in the sky, and said, "It's almost dawn, let everyone speed up, and at the same time pay attention to hiding, don't miss the trace." ”

"Whoa."

Dian Wei listened to Liu Yuan's instructions, and his face became suspicious.

"Young master, Zhang Jiao's army is now just a lost dog, and they are all foot soldiers, my cavalry only needs to chase all the way, and kill the tail to make it collapse, and then win a complete victory. Why bother? ”

"Lao Dian, although your words are good, have you thought about it, such a chase all the way, although it can severely damage the Yellow Turban Army, and even break up this army and win, but it is a bit of a conflict with our goal."

Liu Yuan sighed.

"How so? Isn't our goal to annihilate us" Dian Wei paused, looked at Liu Yuan, and showed a little surprise.

"Annihilation! Specifically, to kill Zhang Jiao! Liu Yuan waved his horse whip and said: "In this night, the killing is in chaos, the black lights are blind, and you can't just run away!" ”

"You know, Zhang Jiao is the leader of the Taiping Sect and the belief of the Yellow Turban Thief! If he doesn't die, the yellow turban will be difficult to calm down. Therefore, you must kill him to be considered a real victory! If you compare the remaining 30,000 troops under Zhang Jiao's command with Zhang Jiao himself, I would rather give up these 30,000 people than kill Zhang Jiao! ”

"That's why I deliberately let Zhang Jiao escape. As long as he enters Guangzong, he will be a turtle in an urn, how can he escape from the palm of my hand?! ”

"Oh!"

Dian Wei really realized at this time, and a pair of innocent eyes revealed a trace of essence, looking at Liu Yuan with admiration.

Liu Yuan made Dian Wei a little embarrassed, but he laughed and scolded, threw off the horsewhip with Dian Wei, and galloped away

In the west of Qinghe County, the trees are abundant, and under the dark night, there is a group of men and horses moving forward.

When the people walked in, they saw that the first person was Liu Bei Liu Da'er, who almost died on the way to Liwu, and beside him was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who had a red face and a long beard and a cold saw.

To say that this Liu Bei didn't want to go the same way with Liu Yuan at the beginning, but he entered Hejian County from Liwu and galloped all the way, wanting to go to Qingzhou, exterminate some yellow scarves, and make a little merit. Unexpectedly, all the way away, it was unimpeded, and he only encountered a small group of Yellow Turban bandits, and he did not encounter an opportunity to make a lot of merit at all.

But it turned out that Zhang Jiao vowed to defeat Lu Zhi and aggressively subordinate him, and actually summoned most of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou to Ye County.

Liu Bei has been from Hejian to Bohai, and then to Leling and finally entered Qingzhou Beihai, visited Bohai Taishou Kong Rong, learned of this situation, and then waved his army westward and entered the Qinghe.

A few days ago, Guan Yu learned that Liu Yuan was dealing with Zhang Jiao in Julu, so he thought of helping.

A few years ago, Liu Yuan was kind to him, and a few days ago he saved the lives of him and his eldest brother Liu Bei, with Guan Yu's surname, if such a great favor is not repaid, it will be like a worm eating the heart, like a fish in the throat, this time is not steady.

So after learning the news, he begged Liu Bei to wave his army to Julu to help Liu Yuan.

Liu Bei hated Liu Yuan deeply, so he was reluctant at that time, because it was difficult to refute Guan Yu's face, so he agreed to think about it for a few days.

This made Guan Yu very unhappy, but the eldest brother's decision must be obeyed, so it was not good to say anything more.

Seeing this scene, Jian Yong, Liu Bei's strategist, talked to Liu Bei for one night, which made Liu Bei change his mind, and the next day he personally told Guan Yu that he was willing to help Liu Yuan. Guan Yu was overjoyed, only saying that Liu Bei was righteous, and he went to help Liu Yuan for him.

No, this army of about 1,000 people is the 'elite' that Liu Bei recruited and trained all the way

When the sky was just dawning, Liu Yuan's army had already set up camp at the boundary bridge and completely settled down.

The soldiers should eat, rest, rest, feed the horses, and patrol the patrols.

Liu Yuan pretended to sleep in the big tent for a while, and after completely recovering his spirit to the peak, he was about to go out of the tent to play a dozen Tai Chi, but a scout came to report that an army of about 1,000 people had been found more than 30 miles south of the boundary bridge.

Liu Yuan asked about the situation, so he didn't care too much, and only asked Dian Wei to bring five hundred people to explore.

Dian Wei took five hundred guards, galloped on horseback, and approached the army in a short time.

"Stop!"

Through the dim morning light, Dian Wei couldn't see clearly, so he stepped forward and drank: "Who?" Get your name in! ”

Liu Beijun heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, he had already prepared, his sword and gun were unsheathed, and he waited intently, but when he heard the other party asking, Liu Bei didn't know how to answer.

Because of Emperor Ling's will, Liu Bei had the opportunity to pull up a team. But this army does not have a regular name, to put it bluntly, it is just a militia group. At this time, Dian Wei asked what kind of lieutenant Liu Bei wanted to set up for himself, and he felt embarrassed in front of so many subordinates, so he gritted his teeth, beat his horse and walked up to the front, and said: "Zhuojun Liu Bei, dare to ask who is blocking the way?" ”

Guan Yu squinted, and the Qinglong Sword in his hand was held tightly, following Liu Bei's side. Because, in that morning mist, there was a huge crisis, as if a murderous fetus was pregnant, which made him feel alarmed again and again.

"Haha, it turned out to be Liu Xuande in person!"

When Dian Wei heard this, he remembered Liu Bei who he had seen in Anxi, and couldn't help laughing: "I am the commander of Dian Wei under the command of the champion Hou, and Lord Xuande is safe and sound!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Dian Wei walked out of the morning mist with five hundred brothers, revealing in front of Liu Bei and the others.

"Brother Yun!"

Dian Wei nodded at Guan Yu and smiled innocently.

Guan Yu's body completely relaxed at this time, and a cold and arrogant face that had not changed for thousands of years also showed a slight imperceptible smile.

"Brother Dian."

Seeing Dian Wei, a hint of obscurity flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and he was most afraid of showing a sunny smile on his face, and said: "It turned out that it was Dian Commander in person, and Liu Bei was polite." ”

The few people talked to each other for a moment, and then walked in the direction of the boundary bridge.

"Commander, I heard that the champion Hou Ye is circling the giant deer and the demon Zhang Jiao, but I don't know how the commander was born here?"

Liu Bei and Dian Wei were parallel, but they asked the doubts in their hearts.

"Haha, Lord Xuande, you're outdated." Dian Wei smiled heartily: "Just yesterday, my young master has defeated Zhang Jiao and driven him around, no, now he is being blocked by the young master in Guangzong!" ”

"Ahh

Liu Bei showed surprise on his face, and then asked: "I heard that Zhang Jiao's 100,000 army is the elite of the Yellow Turban, one in a million, is the champion Hou transferred the Youzhou army again?" ”

When Dian Wei heard this, his face showed displeasure, and he said bluntly: "Does Lord Xuande think that my young master must be reinforced to defeat Zhang Jiao?" ”

"Well, the Warden Commander misunderstood. I mean, Zhang Jiao's army is elite after all, and it should have taken a lot of effort for Champion Hou to defeat him. Liu Bei laughed dryly, only to feel that the big man in front of him was also hateful.

"Hmph, I'm an iron rider in Youzhou, invincible in the world, a mere yellow turban thief, what can I do?" Dian Wei raised his head and said proudly: "The young master broke Zhang Jiao with an army of seven thousand, and he just turned his back!" ”

At this time, Liu Bei was stunned, Guan Yu was also stunned, and Jian Yong was even more stunned.

The Youzhou army is so powerful?

Seven thousand against one hundred thousand?

Naturally, they didn't know that Zhang Jiao's army had lost 20,000 early, and only 80,000 remained. But what is the difference between 100,000 to 7,000 and 80,000 to 7,000?

"This, this" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and then at Jian Yong, not knowing what to say.

Guan Yu, on the other hand, looked gloomy, and then was happy.

gloomily, I can't take this opportunity to repay the kindness, and I am happy that the engong is not in danger, and my heart is comfortable.

Jian Yong, on the other hand, was full of contemplation.

Why is the Youzhou Army so strong?

What are the reasons for this?

When Dian Wei took Liu Bei and Guan Yu into the Jieqiao camp, Liu Yuan was slowly playing Tai Chi.

A few people didn't bother, just watched from the sidelines.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Yuan's ordinary posture as soft as an old man and an old lady, but his face was full of solemnity.

He only felt that with Liu Yuan as the center, a huge circle was formed within a radius of several zhang, like a giant bowl upside down, which made people very uncomfortable.

As for Liu Bei, he looked indifferent, as if he couldn't see any mystery, but the light in his eyes that crossed from time to time was seen by Dian Wei on the side.

Dian Wei looked at Liu Bei thoughtfully, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

After a while, Liu Yuan slowly collected his efforts, raised his head and saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

"Immortality! Brother Xuande! ”

Liu Yuan knew that Guan Yu had already changed his words, but he didn't call him Yun Chang, but kept using the previous name, calling Qi Changsheng.

Guan Yu and Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yuan said: "I am going to use troops against Guangzong today, and I want Brother Xuande to help me, I don't know what Brother Xuande wants?" ”

Liu Bei was full of smiles, but he was very worried in his heart: "What if Liu Yuan asks me to be cannon fodder?" ”

But he said: "Master Hou has a life, and he will not give up!" ”

"Okay." Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Then the heavy responsibility of disturbing Guangzong and finding out the news will be handed over to Brother Xuande." ”

"Yes." Liu Bei was happy in his heart, and secretly said that it was a good errand, as long as Liu Yuan didn't let her be a pioneer and cannon fodder, then everything would be fine.

Looking at the backs of Guan Yu and Liu Bei leaving, Liu Yuan stood for a long time before returning to the big tent with Dian Wei.

"Young master, it's amazing that I found this Liu Bei!"

Dian Wei's brows furrowed deeply.

"Oh? Why? Liu Yuan showed a smile on his face and said, "You can talk about it." ”

"Well," Dian Wei scratched his head, organized the language for a while, and said: "I always feel that this Liu Bei is a little mysterious, he seems to be covered with a veil, so I can't see through it, it's really nerve-wracking, by the way, young master, you boxed just now, I saw that Liu Bei's eyes flashed from time to time, he must be a master!" ”

"Hehe, you're right."

Liu Yuan smiled, his face suddenly turned pale, and said, "This Liu Bei is indeed a master. You can't cultivate, you can't see it thoroughly, but in Ben Hou's eyes, he is clear. ”
