Winter November 12. When Liu Bei was in Fuli County, he gathered more than 50,000 troops. Hua Fei tearfully gave the order to forcibly relocate to the east of Yingshui and the people who still loved their homes and did not leave.

Although, he knew very well what "home" meant to the people; Although, he knew that by doing so, countless old people and children would surely be sad because of this, and therefore crying helplessly.

Although, he also knows what kind of harm this will bring to ordinary people.

However, as a person from later generations, a person who grew up under the light of the red flag. He couldn't just watch the disaster happen.

He has a heart and great love. He had no choice, he had to bear this pain, this infamy. He felt that it was better for him to be scolded alone than for the people to suffer from the enemy's swords and guns.

The enemies faced this time were Wei Wu Cao Cao, the three Taoyuan brothers, and the little overlord Sun Ce and others. Such an enemy is too strong and too terrifying.

Hua Fei didn't have the slightest certainty that he would be able to keep them away from the land east of the Yingshui. Therefore, after some planning, he developed a very bold strategy.

If things go the way he wants. Then, the middle zone between the east of Yingshui, the west of Xuzhou, the north of the Huai River, and the south of Yingchuan; This vast and fertile land.

Here, it will become a big battlefield of four-way melee. In this big melee, the number of troops from all sides participating in the battle will be as high as more than 280,000, or even more.

In such a large-scale war, if the people want to survive, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Hua Fei believes that a home can be rebuilt if it is gone, and there is nothing left if people are gone. Therefore, under the idea of the lesser of two evils, he resolutely gave the order.

At this time, in the north of the snowy Fuli County. Hua Fei personally led thousands of cavalrymen, and was constantly throwing all kinds of materials into the blazing red fire. The smoke was billowing and the stench was pervasive.

The army had long since withdrawn, behind this black smoke; Before Liu Bei's army. Hua Fei only left, the two thousand elite horsemen who acted quickly, to be responsible for the break.

Hua Fei, who was throwing the items, would stop from time to time, straighten up and look at the snowy southwest. Of course he wasn't, looking for an opportunity to be lazy.

He was just waiting, waiting for the best time to evacuate.

The face beside him was white with smoke, and the black Wood urn asked angrily, "My lord! Do you really want to give up such a large area of land to the enemy army like this? ”

Hua Fei tugged at the corners of his mouth and said bitterly: "Of course I don't want to, but the enemy army is too strong." We have to attract them and attack each other before we have a chance to counterattack. ”

Wood tilted his head sideways and thought for a moment, thinking that this was indeed the case, but asked again: "Then why do you have to let that villain Yuan Shu occupy this land first?" ”

Hua Fei looked at the far southwest and said softly: "Cao Bao is a villain, and the villain is greedy and unjust. And Yuan Shu's personality, compared to Cao Bao, can be said to be surpassing, but not inferior. ”

When Wood heard this, he opened his big eyes and didn't know why.

But Hua Fei said again: "The fertile black land in the east of Yingshui, if you let Yuan Shu, a greedy guy, swallow it first." If you were Cao Bao, would you be willing? ”

When Wood heard this, he glared angrily and said, "I'm not Cao Bao!" ”

Hua Fei saw that this reckless man would be wrong, so he shook his head helplessly, and changed his words: "If it's you, are you willing?" ”

Wood protested, "Of course I ......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Hua Fei, but lowered his head a little aggrieved, and whispered with red eyes: "Not happy." ”

Hua Fei asked again: "Since you are not happy, but Yuan Shu has already taken one step ahead of you and occupied the territory you want, what will you do?" ”

Wood looked up at the southwest and snorted contemptuously, "Huh! After a while, he said loudly: "With the weak soldiers under his Yuan Shu, he dares to grab the territory that Lao Tzu wants?" ”

Saying that, he suddenly waved his right fist and shouted angrily: "Then I, I have to beat them to death." ”

Hua Fei looked at him and smiled. He whispered, "Isn't this enough?" ”

Wood's eyes widened when he heard this, and he reached out and scratched his head. I don't know, what is this Hua Fei talking about?

In fact, this is Huafei's plan. First give up a good piece of land, attract these two armies, and fight first. There may even be a competition for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, of course, is wise and martial. However, since ancient times, dominating the world, land grabbing is an indispensable link. With land, you can farm; in order to raise a large number of soldiers.

With such a large piece of land, would Cao Cao be willing to give it up to Cao Bao and Yuan Shu? Hua Fei didn't know, how would Cao Cao feel?

However, the reason why he dragged Liu Bei's army here at the risk of his life. Just because Yuan Shu's strength can be said to be the weakest link among the three parties.

Xuzhou is rich, and the equipment of the soldiers is okay, and Cao Cao is heavy, and the equipment under his command is also not weak. Only this Yuan Shu is extravagant and wasteful, and the most important thing is not to pay attention to the development of armaments.

Then give him the territory first, so that he is like a child, but with meat and bones in the eyes of the wolf. This is undoubtedly the best choice.

It's a pity that even though he gave up Xia Cai County early, this Yuan Shu didn't cross the river for a long time. This makes Dehuafei inevitably a little worried!

Until the afternoon, the fast horse in the southwest direction came with the news that Yuan Shu had led a large army to cross the Huai River, seized the county seat of Xia Cai, and was confronting Chen Zhi in Yingshang County.

Hua Fei, who got the information, clenched his fists violently, and ordered urgently: "Keep the fireworks continuous, and the whole army will eat as fast as possible." ”

After the order, he glanced at Tai Shici who was guarding on the side. Tai Shi Ci nodded in understanding, and then let the horse ride quietly, heading towards the southwest.

The one who made the appointment, and the time passed but he went to two meals. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in the southwest was loud, and several people rode their horses and galloped, shouting: "Lord! Yuan Shu had crossed the Huai River and taken away the county town of Xiacai of our army. ”

Hua Fei pretended to be shocked and shouted in the midst of this deafening scream: "What? ”

At this time, Liu Bei, who was being dizzy by the black smoke for several days. On the wall of Fuli, this voice can also be heard.

In his heart, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hurriedly tilted his ears to listen, Hua Fei was frightened, and what would he say.

Unexpectedly, he listened in vain for a long time. But except for the northwest wind, there was a faint panicked sound of horses' hooves. This Hua Fei was actually stunned and didn't say a word.

But it sounded in his ears, and Zhang Fei shouted excitedly: "Brother, look, the smoke has dispersed, the sky is clear, this damn Chinese dog thief, finally stop smoking us." ”

Liu Bei frowned, stretched out his hand to cover it, and was shocked by the 'buzzing' pair of big ears. When I looked up, I saw the black smoke dissipate. The long cold sky saw the snow drifting again.

Guan Yu tore off the wet cloth covering his face, pointed to the outside of the city and said in a deep voice: "This must be Hua Fei's house, I heard that Yuan Shu's army has crossed the river, but I am afraid that Yuan Shu will cut off the back road, so I hurriedly lead the army to retreat, so that the smoke can disappear and the fog dissipates." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei opened a pair of ringed eyes in a hurry, and looked out of the city. Sure enough, outside the north gate, there were only countless firewood piles with black smoke rising up.

As for Hua Fei's army, it has long disappeared. Only a small tail remained, about 2,000 cavalry, which was slowly heading southwest.

"Huh?" Zhang Sanye suddenly found that the people at the back of the cavalry were Na Huafei and Tai Shici. This discovery made his "wahaha" look up to the sky and laugh, and even the tiger whiskers trembled.

He punched 'Bang!' 'It smashed on the cold walls. "Great! You cowardly Chinese dog thief, you have smoked your third master for several days, today, you dare to only lead such a small number of troops, I see where you are running this time? ”

With that, he turned around and ran towards the city, shouting, "Brother! That hateful Chinese dog thief, at the rear of the enemy's army, and wait for me to take his dog's head, so that I can get out of this evil breath in my heart. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but arouse his hatred for Hua Fei. This Hua Fei dared to use such foul-smelling smoke to smoke him Guan Yunchang for several days.

Think of him Guan Yunchang, since his debut, how many times has he suffered such evil? Thinking of this, he raised his knife and squinted his eyes and said, "Go too!" The words followed Zhang Fei and went downstairs.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the two brothers going down to the city one after another, so he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "The two virtuous brothers must not be reckless, beware of the tricks of the Hua thieves!" ”

Guan Yu stopped when he heard the sound, and Zhang Sanye, who had already got on the war horse. But he waved the Zhangba snake spear and shouted: "Brother, don't worry, Fei knows." ”

Yan Yan opened the city gate, led the 10,000 elite soldiers that Liu Bei had just handed over to him, and hurriedly chased down in the southwest direction.

Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Second brother! Na Hua Fei led the army to the southwest, and in my opinion, he must be going to fight against Na Yuan Shu."

Guan Yu heard the sound and nodded silently.

But I heard Liu Bei say again: "You and I three brothers, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, have been adrift and have no fixed place for nearly ten years. Right now, Hua Fei and Yuan Shu are in a hurry, but it is a great opportunity for you and me. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he stretched out his hand and said, "What do you mean by my brother's words?" ”

Liu Bei raised his sword and looked north, and said in a deep voice: "Hua Fei is flying to the south, once he fights with Yuan Shu's army, he will definitely have no spare strength to defend the various county towns in the northeast of Yingshui. ”

Guan Yufeng's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "What my brother said is very true!" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and left the northeast, and said loudly: "The second brother can quickly lead the elite troops of the headquarters to the north and take the opportunity to recover Zhuyi and other places; And for his brother, he led the army westward to recover the cities of Shansang. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he was arrogant. He thought to himself: "My three brothers have been wandering for many years, if they can take this opportunity to occupy a large amount of land in the four countries of Liang, Pei, Lu, and Chen, why do you need to send people everywhere under the fence?" ”

Thinking of this, he saluted Liu Bei with a knife. He said loudly: "Brother, don't worry, Yun Chang will go and take the northern cities for his brother." Then he turned and went down to the city, gathered up the army, and hurried towards the north.

Liu Bei, who also commanded 5,000 elite soldiers in his henchmen, quickly marched towards Shansang County after leaving the county seat.

At this time, Yuan Shu also got the news that Hua Fei was in the area of Fuli County.

is in a hurry to send troops, ready to go to kill this thief, who dares to use intrigue and trickery to make him suffer a lot. By the way, you can also take over the county seat along the way. ”

Hua Fei didn't know that he was about to fall into, Yuan Shu and Zhang Fei's front and back attacks. He was unconsciously leading the elite horsemen to march in a southwesterly direction. (To be continued.) )
