Chapter 584: Dead in a Nest

Because the matter of offering the jade seal of the country and persuading Yuan Shu to become the emperor will spread sooner or later, as long as it spreads, Liu Bei's reputation will stink. Now that he has neither soldiers nor money, and no matter how bad his reputation is, he can only continue his career as a mat weaver and a shoe seller. At this time, Liu Bei had no choice, whether he went to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao alone, it would be difficult to find a place, and he might even be beheaded by Cao Cao or Yuan Shao on the spot, and invite people to buy hearts by executing him.

Jian Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he really couldn't think of a better way, so he had to follow Liu Bei on the road back to Lujiang with anxiety.

For the mountain roads in this area, Liu Bei and Jian Yong had already sent people to be familiar with them, and Zhang He had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and the men and horses sent to various important roads were not ready, so they could easily return to Lujiang City.

In order not to anger Yuan Shu, of course Liu Bei would not tell Yuan Shu that he had already killed all the 60,000 troops, but said that he was concerned about Yuan Shu's safety, so the constellation rushed back, and the army arrived later.

Of course, Liu Bei doesn't have to worry that his lies will be exposed, and now Liu Xin's army is everywhere, and it is understandable that those 60,000 people are blocked and cannot return to Lujiang for a while. And now the leader is Yuan Shu's trustworthy general Qiao Rui, even if something goes wrong with that army, it is Qiao Rui's responsibility.

Yuan Shu knew that there was an old enmity between Liu Bei and Liu Xin, and instead of doubting Liu Bei's words, he trusted him even more. So, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu appeared together on the head of Lujiang City.

Liu Bei didn't know why Yuan Shu made a "stinky coaxing" teenager to be a shield, and he hid behind and listened for a while, only then did he know that the young man was Liu Bang, the Marquis of the nest. Back then, Liu Xin's inheritance of the "eldest son" to Liu Chong was once rumored, and it also made the evaluation of Liu Xin by the scholars mixed, and Liu Bei, who had long been concerned about the general trend of the world, had naturally heard of it. Liu Bei suddenly had a new goal. The heirloom jade seal is precious, but where Yuan Shu hid it couldn't be understood for a while, but Liu Xin's eldest son Liu Bang was right in front of him.

In addition to Liu Xin and Liu Chong, only Liu Chong's daughter and son-in-law, that is, Liu Bang's biological father and mother, knew the secrets of that year. Liu Chong had died of illness a few years ago, and it was impossible for his daughter and son-in-law to tell the secret. As for Liu Xin, if he tells the truth, his status as a royal family will arouse suspicion, and he can only continue to keep this secret, at least until the world is calm, he will not say it.

In this way, both Yuan Shu and Liu Bei were convinced that Liu Bang was Liu Xin's eldest son. When Yuan Shu moved Liu Bang from Juchao to Lujiang City, he didn't think about using Liu Bang to blackmail Liu Xin, but he just wanted to control Juchao's taxes in his hands, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, it was this Liu Bang who played a big role, which was enough to withstand thousands of troops.

Liu Bei's mind is much more complicated than Yuan Shu, of course he wouldn't think that he could blackmail Liu Xin with just one child. But Liu Xin's military strength is the strongest, the most extensive, and the most financially powerful is an indisputable fact, if Liu Xin's eldest son can be controlled in his hands, as long as it is operated properly, it will also have a hundred benefits and no harm.

When he saw that Yuan Shu was a little frightened by Tai Shici's arrow, Liu Bei felt that the opportunity had come, and offered to take care of Liu Bang for Yuan Shu in time.

Yuan Shu didn't want to stay in the city any longer, and Liu Bei's words hit his heart. So Yuan Shu hurriedly handed Liu Bang over to Liu Bei, and he turned around and wanted to go down to the city.

Although Zhang Fei's archery skills are average, his eyesight is very good, and he saw Yuan Shu breaking away from Liu Bang's shield from afar, and shot him with an arrow.

The defenders of the city had already been frightened by Tai Shici's arrow, and when they saw another arrow under the city shooting with the momentum of thunder, they couldn't help but shout in unison. Yuan Shu's reaction was very fast, and when he heard the shout, he knew that something was wrong, and pulled over the personal soldier standing behind Liu Bei. only heard a miserable scream of "ah", and the personal soldier actually "flew" past Yuan Shu's side, and hit the pillar of the city tower with a "bang", and he couldn't fall down.

Yuan Shu looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but gasp. The soldier slammed into the pillar, and a feathered arrow was stuck in the center of his eyebrow, which was not more than halfway. I think that the arrow passed through the center of the eyebrow, went straight through the back of the head, and nailed the soldier to the pillar, so that it did not fall. In addition to the accuracy of this arrow, the power is even more amazing. Where did Yuan Shu dare to stay in the city, he was busy like a lost dog, and quickly hid in the city gate building.

Liu Bei had already taken over Yuan Shu's position and controlled Liu Bang, who was trembling like chaff, before turning his head and shouting "bitter". It turned out that the pro-soldier was not an outsider, it was his close adviser Jian Yong. Jian Yong has been friends with Liu Bei since he was a child, and he has followed Liu Bei's side for so many years to give advice, never giving up, who would have thought that he would die here today.

Since Liu Bei decided to defect to Yuan Shu, Jian Yong has been hiding in the shadows and has never appeared in Lujiang City. It's just that this time the matter is special, Liu Bei needs to discuss with Jian Yong from time to time about regaining the jade seal, so he asked him to pretend to be a personal soldier and follow him. In order to prevent being discovered, when Jian Yong pretended to be a personal soldier, he followed Liu Bei wherever he went, but Yuan Shu "took the sheep" and used him as a "shield".

When Zhang Fei saw that he had been hit by an arrow, he scared Yuan Shu away, and he couldn't help but dance.

Tai Shi Ci sneered: "What is there to be happy about when a blind cat meets a dead mouse!" ”

Zhang Fei still said triumphantly: "Anyway, it's always true that my old Zhang's arrow hit the city, Taishi Ziyi, are you convinced!" ”

Tai Shici pursed his lips, but he couldn't speak. He did taunt Zhang Fei just now for not being able to shoot at the head of the city, but Zhang Fei's arrow not only hit the head of the city, but also killed a person. When Zhang Fei bent his bow and arrows, he was indeed aiming at Yuan Shu, but Tai Shici was an expert in using bows and arrows, and he had already seen that Zhang Fei's arrow was shot out, but the target was to go straight to the pillar of the city tower.

If you want to say that Jian Yong deserves to be unlucky, it stands to reason that Yuan Shu is also from the military, and it should be seen that this arrow missed him, but he was frightened by Tai Shici's arrow first, and turned his back again, he didn't know what the path of this arrow was, and it was just a subconscious action to pull a personal soldier to block it.

Zhang Fei's archery skills, the bullseye in fifty steps is not a big problem, and it is difficult for him to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, not to mention that it is now two hundred steps away. However, Zhang Fei's bow and arrow accuracy is a little worse, but his strength is definitely not small. Not only is his strength not small, but the strong bow he is equipped with is also very special, and the power of this arrow should not be underestimated.

Tai Shici and Zhang He used three-stone bows, while Zhang Fei used six-stone bows. Looking at the generals under Liu Xin, only Huang Zhong is equipped with a six-stone bow, and most of the others are three-stone bows. Because the harder the bow requires more strength, Tai Shi Ci and they can't pull the six-stone bow, but the physical strength is too much, and actions like three arrows and five arrows can't be done.

Huang Zhong is a bow god, and it is understandable to use a six-stone bow, but why did Zhang Fei choose a six-stone bow? Because Zhang Fei knew that his archery skills were there, he couldn't do some complicated and fancy archery moves anyway, so he simply showed his strength. And in battlefield battles, he almost never uses a bow and arrow, so for him, the result of a nine-stone strong bow or a soft bow is the same.

But the power of the six-stone bow is indeed extraordinary, and Yuan Shu hid in the city tower for a long time before he came to his senses, and he still had palpitations. Yuan Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief, looked outside through the door of the building, and saw that the "pro-soldier" was nailed to the pillar, and no one dared to step forward to put him down.

Yuan Shu plucked up his courage, stretched out half of his head to take a closer look, and was so frightened that he hurriedly came back. He has seen many dead people, but it is rare to see such a tragic death. The "pro-soldier" had wide eyes, his mouth wide open, his face distorted, red blood and white brains seeping out from the center of his eyebrows, and his expression was full of strangeness, as if he was unwilling, resentful, aggrieved and fearful.

Jian Yong did feel frightened before he died, he knew that Liu Xin's men were as strong as a forest, but even if a person could shoot a bow and arrow so far, he actually came two at once, how could they be enemies of such an army, he knew that this was the case, then persuade Liu Bei to weave mats and sell shoes with peace of mind, what else is the world to fight for?

However, Jian Yong felt more that he was dead. He was aggrieved, he stood there dignifiedly, he didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, why did you Yuan Shu pull me, otherwise why would he suffer this fatal arrow. He also resents Liu Bei, if he listens to his own advice, if he listens to his own advice, how can Beitou Cao Cao or Yuan Shao come from today's disaster? He is even more unwilling, it is a kind of helplessness to die before his ambition is rewarded.

When Jian Yong saw that arrow coming head-on, and he couldn't avoid it, several feelings came to his heart at once. With the sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Jian Yong let out a desperate cry, and then his mind stopped here, leaving only a strange expression and a strange posture that continued to shake Yuan Shu's heart.

Yuan Shu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly jumped up and shouted hysterically: "Quick, tell the people in the city that if he releases the arrow again, he will throw Liu Bang down!" ”

General Yang had been staring at Yuan Shu nervously, thinking that he was stupid by Zhang Fei's arrow. Hearing Yuan Shu speak, General Yang breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to the battlements, and said loudly: "Listen to the people under the city, Your Majesty has a will, if you dare to cast cold arrows again, you will knock Liu Bang, the Marquis of Juchao, down from the city!" ”

Zhang Fei heard General Yang's shout under the city, and said angrily: "What kind of birdman, dare to threaten me Lao Zhang, see me shoot you again!" ”

He raised his bow and aimed it at General Yang, but he did not draw his feather arrow. After all, this six-stone strong bow is not a joke, a person like Zhang Fei, who rarely uses a bow and arrow, once in a while, takes no less effort than a big kill, and he still feels a little numb in his arms. Anyway, he has already shocked Tai Shici once, there is no need to show his ugliness again, of course Zhang Fei will not shoot this arrow.

Zhang Fei bluffed there, but Tai Shici suddenly shouted: "Not good! ”
