Liu Bei said that he couldn't leave, and he didn't even wait for the Mi Zhu Mifang brothers who went out to do errands.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, and when he came to the gate of Cao's camp surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry guards, he happened to meet Zhang Quan, a young general on duty.

Zhang Quan is Zhang Xiu's son, and he is an only son.

After Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu's advice to surrender to Cao Cao, Cao Cao still appointed Zhang Xiu as the Taishou of Wancheng to show his trust, but Zhang Xiu sent his only son Zhang Quan to Cao Cao as a personal guard, which was actually a proton in disguise.

This time, the army also brought Zhang Quan out, and it was Zhang Quan's turn to be on duty.

Seeing Liu Bei and his party hurrying over, Zhang Quan stepped forward to stop and interrogate: "What does Uncle Huang want to do?" ”

Liu Bei clenched his fists and said, "On the order of Cao Gong, go to Chen State to ask for military rations." ”

Zhang Quan stretched out his hand and said, "Since I was ordered by Duke Cao to go to the State of Chen to ask for military rations, please also show Duke Cao's edict." ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be suffocated, where could he get Cao Cao's edict?

However, the situation was urgent, and Liu Bei really didn't dare to stay in Cao Ying, so he said at the moment: "Because of the urgency of the military situation, Cao Gong only gave an order, but he never gave an order. ”

Zhang Quan frowned and said: "This, but the last general did not dare to let it go, and asked the imperial uncle to forgive me." ”

Seeing that Zhang Quan refused to let him go, Guan Yu's narrow phoenix eyes suddenly opened, and he was about to draw his knife with his backhand.

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Guan Yu, and said to Zhang Quan in a righteous and stern manner: "Zhang Quan, I am the uncle of the Han Emperor, and I am not a spy, am I not even allowed to enter and leave the barracks?" Even Duke Cao didn't dare to humiliate me like this, you are a little military marquis, dare to do this? ”

Zhang Quan was stunned when he heard this, in the end, he was just a small military marquis, and he was a proton, and he really had no status in Cao Ying, but Liu Bei was a dignified uncle of the Han Emperor.

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stepped forward immediately, intending to break through.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and more than a dozen cavalry soldiers also rode horses to accompany each other.

Seeing that Liu Bei's war horse was about to collide with Zhang Quan, Zhang Quan subconsciously flashed to the side, and when he saw Zhang Quan get out of the way, more than a dozen Cao Jun armor soldiers behind him also followed suit.

As soon as Zhang Quan flashed away, Liu Bei hurriedly rode his horse out of the gate.

Not long after Liu Bei and his entourage left, Zhang Quan saw Xu Chu coming on a horse with an arrow in hand.

When he arrived at Yuanmen, Xu Chu threw the arrow in his hand to Zhang Quan, and shouted: "The lord has an order, and no one is allowed to leave the camp without his order, and those who violate the order are ...... No mercy! ”

Zhang Quan hurriedly said: "General Xu, just now Liu Bei led more than a dozen horsemen out of the camp, saying that he was ordered by Cao Gong to go to Chen State to urge grain. ”

"Nonsense, Chen Guo is in a big drought, the treasury is empty, how can there be military food to urge?" Xu Chu was furious when he heard this, and asked Zhang Quan again, "How long has Liu Bei been gone?" ”

Zhang Quan replied, "I walked for about half an hour. ”

"Half an hour?" Xu Chu snorted and shouted, "You immediately report to the lord, and say that Liu Bei has run away." ”

After speaking, Xu Chu turned back and beckoned the dozen riders behind him, and shouted: "You guys come with me!" ”

At that moment, Zhu Chu led more than a dozen horsemen and guards to chase Liu Bei, and Zhang Quan hurried to report to Cao Cao.

When Zhang Quan arrived, Cao Cao was questioning Sun Qian.

For Liu Bei, Cao Cao still has a little scruples, after all, Liu Bei's reputation is too loud, if he treats Liu Bei too harshly, Cao Cao's own reputation will also be damaged, but for Liu Bei's advisers, Cao Cao will not have too many scruples.

"Sun Qian, don't hide it for Liu Bei anymore!" Cao Cao stared at Sun Gan, his small eyes revealed a terrifying essence, Sun Qian didn't dare to meet Cao Cao's gaze, and subconsciously avoided his eyes.

Cao Cao smiled coldly, and then asked Sun Qian: "Say, what are you doing in Yuan Ying?" ”

Sun Qian waved his hand and said calmly: "Duke Ming, what should have been said has already been said below, and when I went to Yuan Ying, I was ordered by my lord to go to tell Yuan No, so that he thought of the common people in the world, and this group surrendered to the court." ”

"Sun Qian!" Cao Cao said coldly, "My patience has a limit. ”

Sun Qian smiled coldly and asked Cao Cao, "But I don't know what Ming Gong wants to say?" Why don't you say it clearly? Ming Gong wants to hear what he said, does my lord intend to secretly collude with Yuan and plot against Ming Gong? If Ming Gong really has this thought in his heart, hehe, then he can't say it, I'm afraid that Ming Gong will be disappointed. ”

Sun Qian is an honest person, but if you think that honest people are easy to bully, then you are very wrong.

When Cao Cao was at a loss, Zhang Quan hurriedly entered and reported to Cao Cao: "Lord, Liu Bei has run away." ”

Sun Qian smiled when he heard this, and said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong, there is no need for such a trick to do more, right?" ”

Sun Qian also said that Cao Cao had arranged it a long time ago, and the purpose was nothing more than to deceive him and hack him into telling the truth.

"What, Liu Bei ran away?" Cao Cao's face changed greatly when he heard this, because Zhang Quan was really not arranged by him in advance to deceive Sun Gan, in other words, Liu Bei and Yuan did not secretly collude, otherwise, he had just intercepted Sun Gan here, why did Liu Bei run away? If he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, what will he run?

At that moment, Cao Cao shouted: "Chase, even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you have to catch Liu Bei back for me!" ”

"No!" Zhang Quan suddenly agreed, took the arrow from Cao Cao, turned around and went out of the tent to gather the army.

Just now Cao Cao handed over to Zhang Quan is not an ordinary arrow, the front of this arrow is carved with a lifelike tiger head, but the back is written with a leopard character, this is Cao Cao's guard elite cavalry "tiger and leopard horse" transfer arrow.

(Dividing Line)

Turning back to Liu Bei, he took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and more than a dozen horsemen to run for dozens of miles, and finally dared to stop and rest in the pavilion on the side of the road.

Guan Yu asked Liu Bei at this time: "Brother, what happened?" ”

Liu Bei sighed and said gloomily: "Yun Chang, the disaster is serious, I am careless in planning for my brother, and I am in Cao Cao's place, Cao Cao will definitely be responsible after knowing it, if I don't leave at this time, you and my brother are only afraid that their lives will be guaranteed." ”

Guan Yu frowned and said, "What did my brother say about Gongyou's envoy to Yuan Ying ten days ago?" ”

Sun Qian secretly sent an envoy to Yuan Ying, Guan Yu actually knew, but what kind of task Sun Qian was shouldering, Guan Yu didn't know, and he didn't ask Liu Bei.

At that moment, Guan Yu asked Liu Bei: "Brother, what is Gongyou sending to Yuan Ying for?" ”

Liu Bei knew that this matter could not be hidden, and there was no need to continue to hide it, so he gave the Son of Heaven an edict, and then he tried to deceive Cao Cao under the pretense that Yuan would perform a good show.

Hearing Liu Bei tell the truth, the only bit of resentment in Guan Yu's chest disappeared.

The Son of Heaven gave such a thing, of course, the less people know about it, the better, but he can't blame Liu Bei for not telling him, if he were Liu Bei, he would do the same, this is not a distrust of his brother, but for the sake of secrecy.

Guan Yu said again: "Brother, now that the matter has come to this, Xu Du is afraid that he will not be able to go back, where should we go?" ”

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky, and his heart faintly filled with the lament that the world was so big that there was nowhere to stay.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei didn't feel the sadness coming from it, and immediately called Zhang Fei and Chen Zhiye to him, and said with tears: "The second brother, the third brother, and the uncle Zhi, you all have the courage of ten thousand people, and you are all the talents of the generals, but it is only with me Liu Bei that he has fallen to this, and now, I can't delay you anymore, you better quickly surrender to the master." ”

"Brother, what are these words?" Guan Yu said, "Could it be that my brother forgot the oath he made when he was married in Taoyuan?" ”

Zhang Fei even pulled out the ring head knife and said indignantly: "Since the elder brother dislikes the younger brother, the younger brother will die in front of you!" ”

After saying that, Zhang Fei took a knife and wiped it on his neck, and when Liu Bei saw this, he hurriedly rushed up and grabbed the ring knife in Zhang Fei's hand.

"Third brother, if you cut yourself, you will not want to be an only child as a brother!" Liu Bei snatched the knife from Zhang Fei's hand, but his eyes looked at Chen Zhi, most of his pretentiousness just now was for Chen Zhi to see.

Liu Bei wanted to see if Chen Zhi would follow him without regrets at such a critical moment?

Chen Zhi did not disappoint Liu Bei, and said: "Lord, listen to the ancients below, a good woman does not marry a second husband, how can a good minister be a second master?" Now that I have recognized the Lord as the Lord, there is no reason to disobey it! ”

"Okay, okay, Yun Chang, Yide and Shuzhi, you are all my Liu Bei's good brothers, all good brothers." Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao's hands together, slapped the arms of the three of them hard, and said with tears in his eyes, "Liu Bei hereby swears that if he turns his back on the three brothers in this life, he will be killed one day!" ”

"Brother, don't!"

"Why does the eldest brother have to swear such a poisonous oath?"

"The lord's words are serious, and my uncle is terrified."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi hurriedly stopped it.

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, and said: "There are three brothers to help each other, the world is so big, where can I not go?" ”

Guan Yu asked, "Where did my brother go?" ”

"I've figured it out." Liu Bei nodded and said, "So far, we can only go to Jingzhou to vote for Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng will definitely not refuse us for the sake of being a fellow Han family member." ”

Guan Yu said: "Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the house, my brother defected to him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference, it is better to go to Yuan Shao." ”

"No." Yuan Wei shook his head and sighed, "Yun Chang, have you thought about it, Yuan No Xiao'er is Yuan Shao's nephew, this little thief doesn't know for what reason, he is desperate to regard me as an enemy, if I go to Hebei to vote for Yuan Shao, he will not be able to guarantee that he will not be a minister in the same palace with Yuan no thief, with Yuan no thief's heart, how can he tolerate me?" ”

I have to say that Liu Bei is still very far-sighted.

If Liu Bei still went to Hebei to defect to Yuan Shao as in history, and Yuan Que also arrived in Jizhou safely, then the first thing Yuan Que did would definitely be to find an excuse to slaughter Liu Bei.

Even if he can't kill him, he will definitely try to assassinate Liu Bei.

Guan Yu thought so deeply and said, "It's true, Yuan no thief can't be unguarded." ”

"So." Liu Bei sighed and said, "We can only go to Jingzhou." ”

Zhang Fei frowned and said: "It's nothing to go to Jingzhou, but what about the two sisters-in-law who stayed in Xudu?" And the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are still in the Cao Jun camp, what should I do? ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "But I can't take care of them." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the direction from which they came.

Guan Yu put his hand on the canopy and looked east, but he saw that there was a lot of smoke and dust on the official road when he came, and in the smoke and dust, he could faintly see more than a dozen fast horses galloping towards this side.

At that moment, Guan Yu said sharply: "Brother, it must be Cao Jun's pursuers who have arrived, wait for the younger brother to kill them!" ”

"Yun Chang is back." Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed Guan Yu, shook his head and said, "But you don't have to fight with Cao Jun, let's leave quickly." ”

At that moment, Liu Bei's four people and more than a dozen personal soldiers turned on their horses and went to Nanyang along the official road. (.)
