Troubled Times Begin Chapter 258 Escape

When the battle was in the east of the city, Liu Beizheng led his 2,000 men and horses to retreat quickly to the west of the city.

"Big brother, the battle behind the voice is very fierce!" Listening to the sound of swords and fighting from the rear, Zhang Fei, who has always been a battle maniac, couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart and spoke.

"No matter how fierce the battle is, it's none of our business, what we have to do now is to get out of the city and west to the port as soon as possible, and I'm afraid of changes!" Liu Bei didn't look back.

"What variables can there be, will that Zhang Liao suddenly regret not giving us a boat?" Zhang Fei muttered.

"That's not it, Zhang Wenyuan can make Yun Changdu look at us differently, he must be a person of faith, but this place is the core battlefield of Cao Cao and Lu Bu after all, then Cao Ren will definitely react tonight that we calculated him, in order to prevent Cao Cao from sending a large army on the way to stop us after learning about it, we need to seize all the time we can use, and take a boat south to Jingzhou as soon as possible to be safe!" Liu Bei said with a little urgency.

The so-called don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Liu Bei's current situation is just the opposite, after calculating Cao Cao, he is naturally a little afraid that Cao Cao will be angry and angry and disregard the overall situation of the crusade against Lu Bu to retaliate against him.

"This Cao Cao must have suffered a lot of damage after this battle, and he may not be Lu Bu's opponent when he plays, how can he have the spare strength to hunt us down!" Zhang Fei said with a glare.

"Third brother, you underestimate Cao Cao too much, Lu Bu's unplanned person is definitely not Cao Cao's opponent, although our plan this time has caused the tens of thousands of troops led by Cao Ren to suffer heavy losses, at most it has only slowed down Lu Bu's defeat a little." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

He doesn't dare to say that he is excellent in other aspects, but this pair of eyes is still very accurate, although Lu Bu is unparalleled in the world, he is too far behind Cao Cao in terms of warfare, and I am afraid that sooner or later he will be calculated to death by Cao Cao.

A cadre of people led the army out of the west of the city quickly, and came to the port of Tanxian, and immediately found that more than a dozen large sailing ships had been docked on the port, looking at the size and shape of those sailboats, not to mention two thousand people and horses, even four thousand can be fitted.

"General Liu, the ship has prepared enough grain and grass for five thousand soldiers and horses for a month, and you can board the ship at any time!" On the edge of the port, there were hundreds of elite soldiers from Tanxian County waiting on the side, and when they saw Liu Bei leading their troops to come, they did not panic, obviously they had already received Zhang Liao's orders, and one of the leading captains stepped forward at this time.

"Thank you!" Liu Bei was not polite, and directly led his troops to the ship. Grain and grass was one of the conditions he had drawn with Zhang Liao in advance, otherwise where would his two thousand men and horses go to supply along the way.

After a short time, all the soldiers boarded the boat, Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to cut the rope of the wharf, and the sailboat slowly slid towards the river.

"Whew, it's finally over!" Listening to the sound of the waves of the boat treading the water, Liu Bei made up his mind that at this point, all his previous calculations were preliminarily completed, and the rest only needed to reach Jingzhou smoothly.

Guan Yu stood on the deck and squinted, looking at the distant firelight in the east of the city without saying a word.

"Second brother, what do you want?" Zhang Fei was an idle person, walking around the deck from time to time, and seeing that Guan Yu seemed very silent this night, he came over and asked again.

"If Lu Bu is finally defeated in the hands of Cao Cao, it is not a pity for him to die when he sees that he forgets his righteousness, but a well-known man like Wen Yuan doesn't know how he will end!" Guan Yu said with a rare wistfulness.

Although he is arrogant, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and he disdains those he doesn't like, but he is very interested in his friends, Zhang Liao's ability and character are quite to his taste, so Guan Yu was faintly worried about him at this time.

"Huh!" Zhang Fei suddenly didn't know what to say, in this troubled world, if the lord who followed the generals was defeated, the generals below would either surrender or be killed, if Lu Bu was defeated, God knows what the result would be for Zhang Liao.

"Second brother don't worry, if Lu Bu is finally defeated, Zhang Wenyuan should be fine, although Cao Cao is treacherous, but he is a person who loves talents and cherishes talents, Zhang Wenyuan is such a powerful general, he will never be willing to kill, and he will definitely use all means to make Zhang Liao work for him." At this time, Liu Bei also walked over and patted Guan Yu on the shoulder.

"I hope so!" Guan Yu nodded slightly, he could only think so, after all, his current situation was not as good as Zhang Liao.

"Big brother, second brother, after so many days of planning, now that we're finally on the boat, why don't we have a drink?" Zhang Fei on the side couldn't bear the dull atmosphere, so he proposed.

"Okay, wait for my brother to call Xianhe, let's not get drunk and don't return!" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and saw that he was also a little moved, so he nodded. After so many days of thinking about breaking away from Cao Cao's camp, the heartstrings are tight, and at this time, you can drink some wine and relax.

After making a decision, the three brothers walked to the cabin with great interest, and before entering the cabin, Liu Bei finally glanced at the ground farther and farther away, and his expression was full of determination. After so many years, he is still standing still, this time out of the Central Plains and into Jingzhou, it is his last chance, if he can't turn over, I'm afraid that the foundation of this life is hopeless.

、、、、

In the direction of Dongcheng in Tanxian County, the flames were everywhere, and there were tragic shouts and killings everywhere, and the casualties of the Cao army were very serious, after all, from the surprise attack to the counter-raid, and the dumplings were made from the city to the outside of the city, and the blow to morale was absolutely huge.

In the center of the battlefield, Zhang Liao sat on his horse, looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, his face was a little angry, just a little bit, he was going to kill the enemy tonight, and he didn't expect to be destroyed at the last moment.

"Report your name!" Carrying his hook and sickle gun to make deep marks on the ground, Zhang Liao asked coldly to the big man who suddenly appeared in front of him and saved Cao Ren.

"Cao Hong Cao Zilian, if you want to hurt my eldest brother, pass me first!" Cao Hong held the big knife in his hand and said with a very solemn face. His martial arts were slightly inferior to Cao Ren, and he was naturally jealous of this person who could defeat Cao Ren within fifty moves.

"Your surname is Cao, too? Then I'll kill you together, and then give the heads of the two of you to Cao Cao!" Zhang Liao sneered, but he didn't say anything more, and directly pulled out his horse and rushed over.

"It's coming!" Seeing that the enemy was approaching, Cao Hong lifted the spirit of his whole body, and slashed over with a preemptive knife with a heavy sound of breaking wind.

"Humph!" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, raised the hook and sickle spear, and stabbed it hard.

"Poof!"

A low voice sounded, Cao Hong immediately felt that his arm sank, and there was a feeling that the weapon was about to fly out of his hand, he hurriedly held the long knife in his hand, only to stabilize his figure, and then looked up, and saw Zhang Liao's relaxed appearance, there was some fear in his heart, this guy is even more powerful than he imagined!

"Kill!" On the cruel battlefield, Zhang Liao did not have any mercy in his heart, and after a short exchange of weapons, he roared again, and the spear once again rolled up a stronger wind and wave to attack and kill the past.

"Drink!" Seeing that the other party was killed again, Cao Hong gritted his teeth, and also danced his long knife again, although he knew that Zhang Liao was not an opponent that he could match, but if he didn't fight the battlefield, he was afraid that he would die faster.

"Brother Hong, don't worry, I'm here to help you for my brother!" Cao Ren also relieved himself at this time, and hurriedly pulled out a horse to help.

"Wait for the rats, even if the two of them are together, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, but his face remained unchanged and rushed over.

"Kill!" The two sides collided with each other, but they immediately launched a life-and-death struggle, although it was one against two, but Zhang Liao was not afraid at all, and the hook and sickle spear in his hand showed a yellow energy, like a wave of waves, one tide after another, directly attacking Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

"Bastard, Zhang Liao's thief dares to bully me like this?" Forget it if you can't fight alone, two people hit each other and one is still suppressed, Cao Ren felt that he couldn't hold his face at the moment, and he burst into tears at the moment, and the spear in his hand kept blocking and rising, wanting to fight back.

"Hmph, if you wait for such skills, let's go back and practice for a few years first!" Zhang Liao sneered, he didn't intend to give the other party a chance to fight back at all, he put the gun together, and attacked the two of them even more violently, although the target was a little scattered, but with his strength, it was enough to roll up such a big wave of qi to roll the two in.

"This Zhang Liao hasn't reached the limit yet!" Feeling that the strength of the opponent's weapon had reached a higher level, Cao Ren finally knew how powerful Zhang Liao was at this time, and the two brothers had no room to fight back, so they could only take a defensive position first and resist the opponent's offensive.

"No, Brother Hong, let's retreat first and let the soldiers block it!" After suffering for hundreds of moves, although Cao Ren was unwilling, he knew that if he continued to fight, he was afraid that his two brothers would fall into it, so he glanced at Cao Hong at the moment, and the two of them used their heavy attack skills together, and after forcing Zhang Liao to take a step back with a powerful blow, they both pulled their horses and retreated, so that the guards on the side blocked Zhang Liao.

"The thieves will be gone, and this is your grave tonight!" Seeing that the two of them actually retreated, Zhang Liao's expression turned cold, and he hurriedly led his elite iron cavalry to chase after him.

"General, the city gate has been opened, let's retreat quickly!" At this time, there were sudden bursts of cheers in the direction of the city gate, and then there was a military captain Cao who shouted loudly not far from Cao Ren.

'Oh no! Zhang Liao looked startled, and his brows furrowed tightly, the combat effectiveness of this Cao army is really not to be underestimated, and they actually broke through a gap in this situation, so that he would not be able to kill the two enemy leaders, after all, with the elite soldiers of the Cao army covering for them, it was difficult for him to pursue them immediately.

"Good opportunity, Brother Hong, let's retreat!" Cao Ren's face was happy, and he hurriedly greeted Cao Hong, and the two of them stepped back together, as for Zhang Liao, who was chasing and killing, there would naturally be loyal guards to resist them for a while.
