Cao Cao's army besieged Penglai.

Liu Bei, who was far away in Xinye, also got the news.

Under Liu Bei's account, Zhao Yun inevitably felt lost in his heart every time he thought of Yuan Xu.

Yuan Xu treated him with the grace of knowledge, and his mother was even picked up in Penglai!

The night was dark, but there were oil lamps lit in Zhao Yun's house.

Sitting at the table, he was alone with the wine bottle, drinking it one by one.

The door was pushed open, and a gust of wind poured in, and a man entered the house.

"General Zhao is so Yaxing!" The person who entered the house was Hu Ban, and when he saw Zhao Yun pouring himself a drink, he grinned: "Drinking alone, why don't you call so-and-so?" ”

"General Hu sits!" Ask Hu Ban to sit down, Zhao Yun, who was already three points drunk, said: "I heard that the Cao army is attacking Penglai, does the general have any ideas?" ”

"General Zhao is worried about Childe?" Hu Ban asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yun nodded silently.

"The general went out to inspect today and did not participate in the court meeting." Hu Ban whispered: "Liu Yuanjun learned that Cao Cao was attacking Penglai, and he was about to ask Jingsheng Gong to ask for troops and horses to go north to solve the difficulty!" ”

"Is that really the case?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.

"That's the case!"

Zhao Yun suddenly got up and said, "Since the envoy has this intention, he should go to ask for battle!" ”

"General, no!" Hu Ban hurriedly stopped: "Although the envoy was intentional but did not make the trip, why are you and I here?" Could it be that the general has forgotten? ”

Staring at Hu Ban, Zhao Yun frowned.

Huban is right!

Although Liu Bei had the heart to go north to solve the difficulty, he did not make the trip.

At this time, rushing to the battle will surely arouse his suspicions.

Sitting down again, Zhao Yun's face was very bad.

A glass of wine was poured for him. Hu Ban said: "I have followed Liu Yuanjun for a long time, but General Zhao doesn't know his temperament? Make you cautious. But whatever is exported, it is decided to do it. Attack on Cao Cao. It is only a matter of time before the siege of Penglai is lifted. ”

"A certain person is worried that the king will not want to send troops." Zhao Yun said: "It's just that it's delayed for a long time, and Penglai is afraid that it will be ......."

"The general is worried!" Hu Ban said: "I also left eyeliner in Yecheng, and there will be messages coming back from time to time. Xian Xin's son always tries to turn the tide, how can he withstand the siege of the city? ”

"If you care, it's chaotic, or General Hu can see it through!" Zhao Yun raised the wine bottle: "That's it, the general will accompany a certain person to drink today, and he will not return home if he is not drunk!" ”

"General Zhao invited, dare not obey his orders!"

learned about Zhuge Liang from Xu Shu's mouth. Liu Bei almost didn't sleep all night.

Tossing and turning, he sat up in the middle of the night.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gan, who accompanied the attendant, asked softly: "If you don't sleep, is it because you have something on your mind?" ”

"The Han family is in decline, and the heroes support the army and are self-respecting, and every time I think about it, I feel uneasy." Liu Bei said: "In the early years, I conquered the Quartet, but I suffered for the Han Dynasty. ”

"The envoy is a concubine and a husband." Mrs. Gan got up and poured a cup of tea for Liu Bei. He held it in front of him and said, "If you are not tired, the concubine can accompany the envoy to talk." ”

Taking the tea, Liu Bei said: "I often wonder why I have been like rootless duckweed for so many years. Wandering around but with nowhere to stay. ”

"The king is the hero of the world." Mrs. Gan said: "Although there were occasional difficulties in the early years, sooner or later it will be a great achievement!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, put the teacup aside and said, "So-and-so is sleepy again." You and I should rest in peace! ”

Mrs. Gan responded and slept with Liu Bei.

It was decided to borrow troops from Liu Biao and go north. Liu Bei didn't delay much.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Shu went to Xiangyang. He took Guan Yu and Zhang to Nanyang.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei accompanied Liu Bei, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, and galloped all the way to Nanyang.

One day later, they came to Nanyang City.

There are nameless mountains outside Nanyang City.

According to Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang is living in the mountains.

On the day he came to Nanyang, he settled down in his residence, and Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and couldn't wait to enter the mountain.

The mountains are lined with trees, and the roads are difficult to navigate.

The mountains are full of trees, and there are no houses to be seen.

Almost about to get lost, Liu Bei faintly heard singing from above.

"Listening to the piano in the grass hall, the shadow of the silent moon is heavy, and it is still lingering! At night, the stream is murmuring in the heart, and the hut is clear and clear. I have returned, and Cai Wei has thrown himself into the urn. ”

"All the past, the cold toad reflects the forest; All the past, the waterfall and the pond are deep. The pine waves groaned to themselves, and the valley was yin. ”

"Leisurely going forward, winding paths smell good. The pear blossoms in front of the court are dried silver. Lazy and leaning, brushing the dust from the window, I only wish that my ears are lonely Mei Lanqing! ”

Listening to the singing, Liu Bei's spirit suddenly perked up: "Quick! The one who sings this song must be a great sage! ”

"How does my brother know that he is a great sage?" Following Liu Bei to speed up his pace, Zhang Fei asked.

"There's a bit of a retreat in the song." Walking quickly up the mountain, Liu Bei said: "But all the great sages don't know much about the world. This song has the feeling of seeing through the world, how can it be made if it is not a great sage? ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and followed Liu Bei up the mountain as soon as possible.

The song may not sound far away, but it is not easy to search in the mountains.

After walking for a long time, Liu Bei vaguely saw a woodcutter in front of him, cutting down trees.

"Sir, please accept a certain bow!" Stepping forward quickly, Liu Bei bowed and made a big salute.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also saluted.

The brothers were dressed in official uniforms, and the woodcutter was taken aback when he saw this.

"I am a village man in the mountains, how can I receive the great gifts of the princes?" Falling on his knees, the woodcutter said, "It really torments me! ”

The woodcutter's actions surprised Liu Bei and the others.

"Sir is a great sage, why is this so?" Liu Bei asked in amazement.

"I'm not a great sage." Kneeling on the ground, the woodcutter said, "I don't know why you are like this! ”

"The gentleman just sang ......"

"I guess I misunderstood!" The woodcutter said: "This song was composed by Mr. Wolong in the mountains, and I just had nothing to do for a while, and I just sang it casually!" ”

Only then did Liu Bei know that he had recognized the wrong person.

He didn't feel disappointed, but his eyes lit up, and he helped the woodcutter up and asked, "Dare to ask Zunjia, where does Mr. Wolong live?" ”

Pointing to the mountain, the woodcutter said, "From now on, I will see the ravine to the south, and I will be there at most five miles!" ”

"Thank you!" After thanking the woodcutter, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei up the mountain quickly.

Before he saw the woodcutter, although he was anxious, he was not too impatient.

Knowing Zhuge Liang's residence from the woodcutter, Liu Bei's pace became faster and faster.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and he was so anxious that he slipped and fell on his horse.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up.

"Brother, don't worry!" Guan Yu persuaded: "But a mountain dweller, why do you need to be like this? ”

"How can Daxian not be anxious when he is in sight?" Liu Bei said: "Yuan Zhicheng doesn't deceive me, Mr. Zhuge is really a good talent in the world." If you can get it, it should be like a tiger with wings! ”

Very disapprovingly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't want to say much, but just reminded Liu Bei to pay attention to his feet.

The brothers followed the woodcutter's instructions, first up the hill, looking at the ravine, and then turning south.

After walking four or five miles, Liu Bei saw terraced fields on the mountain in front of him, and a few huts were faintly visible!
