Gao Aocao saw Li Bi's figure, turned over and shouted to his subordinate generals: "Listen to me, whoever catches the enemy Li Bi will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and the land and mansion will be picked at will." It doesn't matter what he shouted, the shaved soldiers who were chasing and killing the Western Wei soldiers were like stimulants, looking for Li Bi all over the world.

Several lieutenant generals around Li Bi have died in battle, the army has been completely dispersed by Gao Aocao, and his younger brother Li Biao has also been beheaded, thinking of this, he hid under a dead wood and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, the sky has completely darkened, who can't see the road, he can't run away, Gao Aocao's army will not be able to find him for a while and a half, and both sides are in a stalemate.

Fortunately, there is no moon in this dark night, the sky is foggy, it seems that tomorrow is a sunny day, in the end, it is the biting cold wind in the deep winter, Li Bi blew all night and froze it all night. There are still dotted torches shaking on the mountain, but most of the shaving army are stationed at the foot of the mountain, he doesn't know if he is surrounded, but at this moment, it is best not to act rashly, and it is easiest to escape in the second half of the night when people are sleepy and tired, so Li Bi tightened his collar and shrank into the deep pit, his body was full of dry grass and branches as cover, and his two eyes were slightly closed.

There are fewer and fewer people on the mountain, most of the noise comes from the shaving army at the foot of the mountain, they are roasting the fire eating cooked beef and drinking burning knives to keep warm, Li Bi even feels uncomfortable at this time, legs, feet and fingers gradually go to the intuition, this is the night to freeze, if there is a fire to roast in the activity, maybe it will be much better. Li Bi thought to himself. But the mountain wind whistling all over the mountains completely shattered his sweet dream, and he was deep in the cold at the moment, and he had no equipment to protect against the cold, even if he had, he couldn't use it.

Finally stayed up until the second half of the night, there was basically no one on the mountain, and the light of the torches under the mountain was also flickering, it seemed that Gao Aocao's shaved army was asleep, Li Bi tried to move, and felt that his bent legs could not be straightened, but the strong desire to survive forced him to struggle to stand up, and the cat bent his waist and looked around. There was no one nearby, so he hurried to the back of the mountain, and all the way down he was already panting heavily, and white smoke was coming out of his mouth.

Li Bi sneakily hid behind a big tree and looked at the road on the side of the mountain, it seemed that no one was set up here, the surroundings were very quiet, the noise of the shaving army in front of the mountain had long been left behind, Li Bi secretly thought in his heart that he would go north and then turn west along this big road, and run thirty or fifty miles over two mountains to reach the boundary of Guanzhong. If nothing else, I can return to Chang'an by tomorrow afternoon. But at this moment, he didn't dare to be careless, he looked left and right like a thief, and after making sure that there was no one, he had to hurry up and throw off his feet and run hard.

Running down the mountain road, at this time Li Bi didn't care about any image, and ran all the way to the north, he felt that his heartbeat and footsteps were too loud, and it seemed that it was easy to be discovered by Gao Aocao's shaved army in this quiet night, but he couldn't stop, stop and die faster.

As he ran, he began to slow down breathlessly, and after a day's battle and no lunch or dinner, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, and he felt really hungry and thirsty. I plan to get some food in this place, but the deserted village is still in the war era, and the surrounding is deserted and lifeless, where to eat and drink for him.

At this moment, he saw what seemed to be a fire in front of him, and his intuition told him that there might be danger, but he was hungry and cooing, and he really didn't have the strength to run again, so he simply walked forward with his waist bent. When he came to a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp, Gao Aocao's shaved head! It's been four or five miles away, how can there still be his people. Li Bi couldn't help but greet Gao Aocao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

He just wanted to turn around and run away, intending to retreat back to find a way to bypass this level, but a deep voice came from behind him: "Don't move, raise your hands and stand up slowly." Then a steel knife was already on his neck, looking at the cold light on the edge of the knife, Li Bi stood up like a dead heart and said: "Today, your ancestral grave is smoking, I surrender." It means that this person can already exchange himself for a golden mansion and land.

Li Bi was escorted back to the camp of the shaved army in embarrassment, and Gao Aocao learned that the enemy general was captured alive, and he immediately ran to the camp gate without even putting on his shoes. When he saw Li Bi's appearance, Gao Aocao couldn't help but scold his subordinates and said, "How can you treat General Li like this? Hurry up and loosen the tie! In his own camp, Gao Aocao didn't worry about Li Bi's escape at all, because he couldn't escape at all.

As soon as the morning dawned, Gao Ao Cao withdrew to Luoyang with Li Bi, and Gao Huan was overjoyed after the good news, and took the fold to Murong Heng and Sima Ziru, Sun Teng and others to circulate one by one, and said with great joy: "Can such a victory be shown off to the emperor and ministers in the last dynasty?" It is estimated that he was also aggrieved by Yu Wentai's bullying, so Gao Huan would say this.

Because Luoyang and Yecheng were not far away, Gao Huan simply took his direct troops into Luoyang, and the other troops returned to their original stations under the leadership of their respective army commanders. He wanted to personally reward Gao Aocao's shaved army, and also pay tribute to General Zhao and General Wei, as well as other soldiers who had fallen in battle.

Yuwentai in Guanzhong learned that Li Bi was captured, and he was as sad as a mourner, and asked Su Xuan and Sichun in horror: Gao Huan won't take advantage of the situation to attack Tongguan, right? Because of the drought in Guanzhong at this moment, the food of the official family was once exhausted, and some local troops began to find their own military rations to supply. The situation in Guanzhong is very unstable, and if there is a slight disturbance, Yuwentai will definitely not run away, and he will definitely die.

Xie Sichun thinks that Gao Huan is in Luoyang, indicating that he will definitely have the next move, at this time the best way for Yuwentai is to go west with the army of Shuai Dajun and go to Longxi and Longnan to eat, if Gao Huan really enters Tongguan, then he only has one way, go south into Shuzhong, clear the forces of Nanliang, and call himself emperor in Bashu like Liu Bei.

The answer given by Su Sui is just the opposite of Si Chun, he thinks that Gao Huan will not attack Tongguan again in the near future, the reason is that Nanliang and Hou Jing have not solved it yet, and he will not go all out to enter the pass, otherwise it must be the internal emptiness Hou Jing and Xiao Yan take advantage of the void, Gao Huan will immediately fall into a dilemma, with the talents of Murong Heng and others, they will not be unable to see such a situation, so Yuwentai only needs to find a solution to the problem of military rations, and everything else is easy to do.

Yuwentai looked at Xie Sichun and then at Su Sui, and immediately decided to follow Su Sui's opinion, this Xie Sichun really lacked a lot in the analysis of the situation and the overall situation, which was a little far behind Su Sui. So the Western Wei army still mobilized troops and collected and prepared grain and grass everywhere.

There is an inconspicuous family in Pangezhuang in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, the male owner of this family is surnamed Xu, he is a farmer, and the female protagonist died early. There are three children, two boys and one girl in the family, and the eldest son is named Xu Fu, who is a literati who can read and write. The second daughter's name is, and she has not been heard from since she was sent to the palace many years ago, and she does not know whether she is alive or dead. The third son is named Xu Longzhi, and because he is only seventeen years old, he has been studying at home and has not engaged in labor production.

But it was a coincidence that the male owner surnamed Xu was sick and died, and before he died, he took the hand of his eldest son and youngest son and said: "We are in-laws with the Gao family in Yecheng, and your mother is a woman of the Gao family. ”

The two brothers wept bitterly in front of their father's bed, and after a while, the old man left and went straight to the Western Bliss. Xu Fu, as the eldest son in the family, married a daughter-in-law named Liu two years ago, this Liu is the daughter of a local down-and-out scholar in Luoyang. Since entering the family, the Liu family has also been virtuous and filial, and has a good way to run the family, in addition to supporting the elderly, his father is to save money for his uncle Xu Longzhi to study.

Liu's usually don't go out of the door, but the things at home are arranged properly by her, and the neighbors don't praise her. Xu Fu, as the eldest son in the family, has never had any responsibility, when the old father was still there, his father was in charge of everything, and now that his father is gone, there is a daughter-in-law Liu in the family, and he is still an innocent and lovely farmer without distractions.

Not far from the Xu family, there is a person named Mo You who has a holiday with the Xu family and his son because of money, and has been holding back and wanting to harm them, and now that the father of the Xu family is gone, the remaining Xu Fu is obviously a worrisome IQ goods, this Mo You feels that his time for revenge has come, so he is close to Xu Fu if he has nothing to do, and gradually the two have become good brothers.

Mo You saw that the time had come, so he began to gradually persuade Xu Fu to separate from his younger brother, he said: "Your family now depends on you and your wife to manage this, your younger brother does not do anything to produce all year round without touching the hoe and enjoys it, if I separate the family with him, why should your hard-earned money be used to support him to study, even if you really become a big official in the future, it is not certain whether you miss your love or not." ”

Mo You "persuades" and "enlightens" Xu Fu every day, this Xu Fu is a soft-eared person, he smiled at first, and then he also muttered in his own heart, what Mo You said is not completely unreasonable, Xu Longzhi even if he really becomes an official in the future, it is better to say, in case the bamboo basket is empty, when will he have to support him, plus his younger brother is growing up year by year, he should marry a wife at the age of eighteen, this bride price must be distressed, and it will be more burdensome to add another person to eat at home, Thinking of this, he went back to discuss with the Liu family about separating the family with his younger brother.

When Liu heard this, he immediately became angry with Xu Fu: "Tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that he is still your own brother, now that his parents are dead, he can only study, isn't the separation of the family now forcing him to die?" Now although my father has passed away, we have worked hard in the past two years, and I usually spin, make clothes, embroidery and sell, and I have also accumulated some surplus money, and there is no problem in supporting him to study in three or five years. But Xu Fu stopped doing it when he heard this, and he immediately refuted: "It's not a problem for you to provide for three or five years, he always has to marry a wife and have children, can you and I afford these burdens?" If he has no hope of becoming an official in three or five years, then how long will we have to provide for him? Have I worked all my life as a slave for my brother? ”

Although Liu also understands her husband Xu Fu's feelings, she still can't bear to drive her younger brother out of the house and separate the family, so what will relatives and neighbors think of them and the couple? So he said categorically at the moment: "Although the days ahead may become more and more bitter, but if we all persevere, who can say that there is no hope tomorrow?" "The Liu family is adamantly disagreeing with the separation.

The next day, Xu Fu hung his head and told Mo You all about it, Mo You pretended to persuade him, and thought to himself: How can I have another plan to bring down the Xu family? At this time, a gambler friend of Mo You came to him for a drink, and Mo You had an idea to persuade Xu Fudao: "Brother Xian, don't worry about this matter first, life is a moment of happiness in the world, brother, I will take you to a place to go leisurely." For a while, he led Xu Fu to the gambling house to gamble.

In the first few days, Xu Fu was quite lucky, he could win dozens of taels of silver every day, how did he know that this was the "good brother" Mo You colluded with the scoundrels of the gambling stall, deliberately gave him sweetness, and wanted to seduce him into a bloody trap behind him.
