On the hill, an old man and a young man sat on two rocks and chatted, as if they were talking about stories that were completely unrelated to themselves. The soldiers rested in the mountains, the crackling sound of the bonfire burning at night, and the burning bonfire also warmed the cold hearts of the Xuzhou soldiers.

"My lord, after Sun Qian tricked me out of the city, I led my troops to the Cheng clan to find the lord. But I don't want to be out of the city not long ago, there are subordinates from Changyi killed, it turns out that in Changyi City, someone has already fornicated with Xuzhou Mu Tao, they have been bought by Taozhou Mu.

So as soon as I left, the generals defending the city rebelled with Sun Gan, and when I wanted to come back, I couldn't enter the city if I wanted to. Liu Bei didn't know when he led a group of soldiers and horses into Changyi City, so I could only lead the troops to continue north to inform the lord! ”

Wang Taishou lowered his head as he spoke, and his old tears were all over his face. Tao Ying comforted him beside him: "It's okay, all this is providence, I don't blame you." You can abandon Changyi to save me, I'm already very satisfied. All this is Sun Qian's business, and I will definitely not let them go! ”

Tao Ying swore fiercely. This potter originally had such a strong relationship with his brother, why did he make such a fuss today? It's only been a year, has the power really made him so unbearable? Brother, in his eyes, is it not as valuable as a piece of land?

After staying outside the city for a night, knowing who the real culprit was behind the scenes, Tao Ying was not afraid. So the next day, after dawn, Tao Ying decided to go north to gather his men.

Incorporated Wang Taishou's Changyi military horses, and along the way, Tao Ying met Li Dian who came to find him. When he was about to arrive in Jinxiang, he ran into Xu Sheng again.

So the soldiers and horses under his command began to gather more and more, and when Tao Ying arrived at Juye City, nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses had gathered around him at this time.

These soldiers and horses are basically the elite soldiers and horses of Xuzhou brought by themselves, and they are also the living force of Pengcheng. When he arrived at Juye, he saw a large group of men and horses coming from outside the city, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly sent the Hell Demon Army to meet him.

When he arrived outside the city, he found that it was not Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, but Tao Ying's military horses. Seeing that Tao Ying was alive and well, Zhuge Jinyi was so happy.

The Tao Ying army was welcomed into the city, Juye City was used as Lu Bu's base, so the grain and grass were abundant, after Tao Ying arrived, the 40,000 troops moved in, and a meal came down, so that the grain and grass of Juye City were stretched.

Therefore, in order to be able to return to Pengcheng as soon as possible, Tao Ying ordered people to find Lu Bu. Then he asked an envoy from Qingzhou to mediate and solve the issue of the ownership of Shanyang County as soon as possible.

It is said that when Zhuge Jin turned Lu Bu away, Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses and kept asking for Tao Ying's news. The loss of the military food land, the giant field, made Lu Bu lose all his grain and grass. The soldiers looted all the surrounding villages, still struggling to fill their stomachs.

The cold wind blows in winter, and many soldiers have no cotton clothes, so they can only huddle together in groups of three or two during the day, and gather around the campfire at night to roast the fire, and almost eat the bark of the tree.

Seeing that the soldiers were complaining a lot, and there were many people who fled, Chen Gong came to the vicinity of the Jinxiang garrison to find Lu Bu with all his worries. Lu Bu was also sad at this time, he originally led the troops stationed in Xiaopei, so he placed his family in Xiaopei, but he didn't expect that news suddenly came from Xiaopei yesterday, saying that the state pastor sent his general Cao Bao to raid Xiaopei, Xiaopei was defenseless and had been broken by Cao Bao.

Cao Bao attacked Xiao Pei, and the families of Lu Bu and the generals naturally needless to say, they must be captured alive by Cao Bao, but they took pity on the beautiful Diao Chan. If Diao Chan falls into the hands of Cao Bao, Lu Bu can simply blow up his lungs!

In the afternoon, the sun was a little warm. On a sunny day that I haven't seen for a long time, Jinxiang City in December is shrouded in gold. Lu Bu sat on the low Jinxiang city wall, and the city was long gone, only a large number of soldiers were roasting the fire.

Chen Gong stood beside Lu Bu and asked softly: "Lord, now, our grain and grass are not enough to support three days, and the soldiers can only drink some water every day to satisfy their hunger, and the subordinates heard that Changyi City is opening a warehouse to release grain, and many soldiers have fled to take refuge in Changyi City. ”

Chen Gong was hunched, and he couldn't see Lu Bu's expression. Lu Bu's face was gloomy, the sunlight outside the city was getting thicker and thicker, the continuous woods were bare, and occasionally a few birds that were not afraid of the cold were still chirping.

"Is there a whereabouts of the second son? Who occupies the city of Changyi? ”

Lu Bu is the same as Tao Ying at the moment, there is a fire in the backyard, so he also looks a little decadent, and even a little powerless.

Chen Gong hurriedly replied: "Lord, my subordinates sent people to inquire in the area of Changyi, and the spies reported that the second prince is still alive at the moment, and it seems that he has reorganized the army and horses, and now he may be looking for the lord everywhere!" ”

"What? The second son is still alive? ”

As soon as he heard that Tao Ying was still talking, Lu Bu was a little surprised. After the surprise, there are some surprises, as long as the second son is still alive, then it proves that there is still hope for himself! He is the second son of Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou want to do it, as long as the mess in Shanyang County is quickly solved, the potter will definitely be willing to sell the face to the second son and release it to his family!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu asked again: "Is it the second prince's men and horses that occupy Changyi City, or Cao Cao's men and horses?" ”

Chen Gongdu shook his head, and Lu Bu's face changed and he said, "Could it be the people of Qingzhou?" Yuan Shao was also involved and wanted to get a piece of the soup? ”

Chen Gong shook his head again, for this tricky Chen Gong, Lu Bu didn't have a good face at all.

"Then you say who occupies Changyi City, what do you always shake your head for?"

Lu Bu is the most coveted by these literati such mother-in-law and mother-in-law, guess what, guess his big-headed ghost! Seeing that Lu Bu was on fire, Chen Gong hurriedly said: "It's Liu Bei's military horse, Liu Bei deceived Changyi City, and robbed the second son's grain and grass, and he spread rumors everywhere that the second son was dead, and it was killed by the lord, and he has used this as an excuse to gather nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses." ”

In two or three days, 20,000 horses were actually enveloped, which really surprised Lu Bu.

His own army of 50,000 is all strong men who have been caught all the way from south to north, and this Liu Bei's appeal is really not blown out. Lu Bu asked himself how many men and horses he still had, and Chen Gong said that there were less than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

"Thirty thousand?"

Lu Bu patted his thigh angrily and stood up, his feelings have been talked about for a long time, Liu Bei's 20,000 horses were all pulled away from himself? This bastard actually made his own idea!

"Liu Bei villain, I must let him know that I am powerful!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said fiercely, this Liangzi, he waited for Lu Bu to tie up with Liu Da'er, don't let yourself have a chance to turn over in the future, otherwise you must fight to Xuzhou to avenge this revenge. He Lu Bu has always been heartless, and he will not be as timid and cautious as Tao Ying, he will do it when he says he will do it!
