(Thanks to the fluttering flames and the Oriental Pastoral for the tip)

The fire burned all night, and the next morning, the fire gradually went out, but the smoke was thicker, and the whole Yiyang City was like a big coal, suddenly doused by water, and the whole city was gasping in the black and white turbid steam.

Although the fire burned fiercely, in fact, Liu Beijun's losses were not great, and the next day, the soldiers who scattered and fled heard that Liu Bei was still alive, so they gathered ants from all sides. Counting the number of people, the missing, those who were burned to death by the fire, plus the one killed by the ambush of Simon, the loss of soldiers and horses was less than a thousand people.

Yiyang City.

The city, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was now a piece of ashes, and Liu Bei, who had re-entered Yiyang, rode his horse and walked silently on the broken streets.

The soldiers hung their heads and looked for traces of survivors on the rubble, and from time to time there were burnt soldiers who were carried past the roadside, and the painful wails pierced Liu Bei's heart.

He was not heartbroken by the miserable situation of the soldiers, but what made him heartache was that he was humiliated by that rebel in such insidious ways. It is not terrible to lose under anyone's hands, but losing to Liu Feng, Liu Bei's self-esteem has never been hit so hard.

"My lord, I found it."

Under the leadership of several soldiers, Liu Bei came to a burned house, and in the middle of the backyard, a large hole two feet wide was exposed.

"The last general has already sent someone into the cave to investigate, this leads to a mountain outside the east city, according to the footprints found at the scene, the enemy should be hidden in a forest not far from the entrance of the cave, because it is very close to the city, our scouts did not pay much attention at that time."

Staring at the entrance of the black forest, Liu Bei's gray face, the muscles were twitching faintly.

This rebel, what kind of bullshit "retreats", as Liu Bei guessed before, there really is another conspiracy, but Liu Bei didn't expect that Liu Feng would set such a subtle trap, such a cunning scheme, it really made him can't believe that Liu Feng could come up with it.

Kicking a piece of gravel into the pit, Liu Bei said hatefully: "Send someone back to Xiakou immediately, and ask Xu Yuan to come to meet him quickly." ”

Port of Bachu.

Two hundred warships, five thousand naval troops, Guan Yu's command of the Jiangxia army entered the port in the evening, since the end of the battle of Jiangling, Baqiu Port is the first time to station such a large fleet of the scale, the entire port of Wu army suddenly became lively again.

However, the Wu people were not to welcome the arrival of their allies, but to be on full alert in case of accidents, which was the order of their governor Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu also had another order, Baqiu Port was open to both Liu Bei's side and Liu Feng's side, whether it was a cargo ship or a warship, as long as they were not hostile, they would be allowed to dock without discrimination.

On the three-story fighting ship, there was a deathly silence, and the sailors inside and outside did not dare to make a sound, walking and doing things lightly, and did not dare to make even the slightest noise, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

In the inner cabin, a body lay quietly on the cold floor, the neck of the body was a trace of thin threads, the miserable white face still maintained a hideous expression, and the pupils in the angry eyes had been scattered.

This is a corpse, Guan Ping's corpse.

Next to him, the majestic warrior was silently staring at the corpse at his feet, his red face trembling slightly, his snort was as heavy as thunder, and his beautiful hair was swaying and dancing like a waterfall.

Squeak, the door opened, and a tower-like black-faced officer cautiously walked in, and when he saw Guan Ping's corpse on the ground, he immediately showed sadness.

Following Guan Yu for many years, Zhou Cang can be said to have grown up watching Guan Ping, and seeing that the little general who was once familiar with him is now in a different place, how can he not be sad.

Temporarily hiding the sadness in his heart, Zhou Cang said softly: "General, there is news from Yiyang. ”

"Say." Guan Yu's expression was still as cold as iron.

Zhou Cang whispered: "Liu Feng made a plan to burn Yiyang, the lord lost a thousand soldiers, and now Liu Feng has retreated to Linxiang, the lord ordered the general not to move lightly, and after Xu Yuan came, the two armies met and then took Linxiang directly." ”

"Liu Feng, Liu Feng-" Guan Yu silently recited this familiar name, and the picture of his beloved son being beheaded by that person came to mind, and the anger in his heart rolled up like gushing magma.

Suddenly, his tiger eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army will leave Hong Kong immediately, and kill Linxiang in the starry night." ”

The murderous aura of the hunt spread out from that majestic body like a tide, and Zhou Cang, who was a few steps away, was overwhelmed by the unprecedented murderous aura.

Zhou Cang's breath quickened, trying his best to calm the disordered mind, and cautiously reminded: "But the lord has an order, so that the general must not move lightly, and he must wait until Xu Yuan is not allowed to go south." ”

Guan Yu glared at him fiercely: "What's the point to wait, Liu Feng, that brute, am I still afraid that he won't succeed." Immediately order the whole army to pull out! ”

"No."

Following Guan Yu for many years, Zhou Cang had never seen this beautiful bearded man who despised the world, and he had such an angry moment, obviously the death of his beloved son really angered him. Guan Yu, who was furious, even the lord Liu Bei was afraid of three points, and Zhou Cang dared to disobey again, so he hurriedly left the cabin as promised.

The cabin was quiet again, Guan Yu leaned down, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and caressed his son's cold face.

"Dingguo, don't worry, my father will definitely cut off the head of that beast with his own hands, and your revenge will be avenged soon."

………………

In Linxiang City, a few hundred miles away, Liu Fengzheng led his 1,000 triumphant soldiers and marched into the city with the good news of burning Yiyang.

Liu Feng has always been low-key, but this time he deliberately held a grand triumphal ceremony, in order to boost the morale of the officials and people of a city, and use victory to strengthen their confidence and fighting spirit.

"Lord, your move to burn Yiyang is really an eye-opener for us."

Taishou Fuzhong, the veteran Huang Zhong couldn't help but praise. If Huang Zhong's "joining" was still due to helpless reasons, now after learning the news of Liu Feng's defeat of Liu Bei, the whole person has been convinced of Liu Feng's strength, and this title has been changed to "lord" like others.

"The old general has won the award, Liu Bei has always despised me, I just grasped his weakness, so I can win a surprise, but he has been on guard, and I am afraid it will not work if I use the same trick next time."

Liu Feng looked around at everyone under his humility, and suddenly found that Liu Qi was not present, so he asked, "By the way, what about Brother Zide?" ”

"Ahem-" Ma Yan coughed a few times, approached Liu Feng, and almost whispered: "Zhou Mu is drunk and has not woken up yet, I have already sent someone to call him." ”

Liu Feng was stunned at first, then came to his senses, and sighed secretly in his heart: "This kid, just like Xia Koushi, never forgets to have fun at any time." ”
