When Poison and Yu Fuluo discussed giving Huang Shang as Xi Shi to Chen Nuo, Huang Shang went all the way out of the camp and walked to the foot of a mountain.

"How did I get here?"

Huang Shang suddenly raised his head, saw that the mountains near him were good, and he was intoxicated, and looked at them twice: "Here, there is a familiar feeling." But why did this familiar feeling occur, she couldn't say for a while. I just know, it's really familiar. It's as familiar as if I had been nostalgic here in my previous life, but this life is lost in the red dust. If it were in the past, she would never be so sentimental as she seems now, let alone think about these things that have nothing to do with her. But because I walked here, I was attracted by the mountains here, I was at a loss, I forgot the way back, and walked all the way up the mountain.

On the side of the mountain road, a broken thatched house appeared. The mountain is high, and the thatched hut is underneath, but it is so low that it looks lonely, cowering in the wind.

"Here ......"

"Where is this? Have I been here before? A thought burrowed into Huang Shang's head and lingered. She couldn't remember the approximate situation, but she remembered that it seemed to have been there in a dream, and there were so many that she couldn't remember it. In a state of confusion, she walked to the broken thatched hut with a sword at her waist.

When I looked up, I saw a plaque. On a wooden board mottled with black lacquer, a large Liti character is written on it......

Yi!

It's an old post station.

"Station?" When Huang Shang raised her eyes and looked again, looking at the broken 'post' on the plaque, for some reason, a familiar and pathetic feeling struck violently, and drilled uncontrollably into her chest, which made her in the autumn wind, and couldn't help but shudder deeply. The corners of the eyes immediately felt moist. Reaching out to touch it, a hot tear slipped down her index finger. Her grim face was slightly moved at this moment, and she became sad.

The autumn wind blew the hair on her sideburns and covered her eyes. At this moment, her eyes became empty again. Hollow is a wooden door. The wooden door had been broken, and it seemed that it couldn't even hold its last breath at this time, and it was blown by a breath of wind and pushed open with a bang. Huang Shang did not hesitate, raised his hand, looked into the house and left.

Although it was noon, the sunlight was already covered by the mountain wall, and the sight of the house was not bright. Fortunately, the moment Huang Sheng entered the house, he stayed in place for a while, and soon became familiar with the light inside. In the house, there was nothing but a bed, a case, and a seat. There was not a trace of cotton wool to be found on the couch except for a pile of grass; The wooden case was broken, and a broken urn was placed on it, and there were some remnants of water stains in the urn; Mat...... There is a big hole in it, and it should be no different from sitting on the ground when a person sits on it. In the corner of the house, there seems to be a wooden cabinet, but unfortunately it has already collapsed into a decayed wooden board, and there is no trace of the past.

The musty smell in the house swelled at the nose.

Huang Shang, when her eyes slowly moved to these ordinary objects, her heart was like boiling water, turning and boiling. It was hot and her tears were hot. Inexplicable tears, flowing for some reason. She reached out to wipe it, but she couldn't wipe it clean. She froze in place, her mind like a rotating wooden horse, and some broken pictures kept surging in. These images, she can even be sure, she has never experienced them before, but they are so unforgettable that she dare not completely deny them.

"In this world, there is no one else in my family except Master. But the old man I saw just now ...... Old man, is he really just an old man? He...... Who is he? ”

There was also a small door next to the house, and the door was pushed open, and only then did I find that there was a small world behind the house. There is deserted land, and there is a smaller thatched house. This thatched hut seems to be used for livestock. Seeing the manger in front of her, a feeling of suffocation hit her strongly, making her brain dizzy again. Too familiar to forget, even in a past life, you have to find that sense of familiarity.

"Past life?" Huang Sheng was stunned, and she didn't understand why she grafted this familiar feeling to her previous life. Is it incomprehensible in this life, so it can only be attributed to the previous life? Perhaps, this is the only explanation. She looked at the manger for a moment, touched the broken reins on the post, and reluctantly put it down for a long time. After putting it down, she turned around and was about to leave. However, her acuity made her just have this idea, and her ears suddenly moved, and she immediately turned around and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The sound of the wind rolls up the grass on the hut.

Is it a delusion? Her eyes wandered, and instinct made her more vigilant. At this moment, a Hola sound came from inside the house to her ears. Huang Shang did not hesitate at all, pushed open the wooden door with an arrow step, and walked in. Seeing a black shadow about to rush out of the portal, she was moved by her body and reached out to grab it.

"Who are you?"

The moment she caught the man, her expression returned to coldness. However, after this cold question, the person she captured turned his face, smiled stupidly at her, and followed her to learn: "Who are you?" A face, as black as his clothes, black as iron, probably only when he spoke, a mouthful of white teeth was slightly exposed. He was imprisoned in a black robe, and his hair was shaggy and disheveled, looking extremely ragged.

"Look for death!" Of course, Huang Sheng was not happy with others parroting, so he picked up one foot and kicked him to the ground. The man seemed to have no temperament, and when she kicked him to the ground, he did not get up, but began to cry. This cry...... It's like a three-year-old child who needs the care of an adult. Huang Shang's hand that was about to draw his sword suddenly stopped at this moment. She looked at him carefully for a moment, and when she saw that he didn't fight back, he didn't get up, but just cried vigorously, a little stunned.

At first, she watched from the wall and didn't speak, and when he kept crying, it seemed that there was no more follow-up, and she was also stupid, and she didn't know what to do next.

"Sister, sister......"

"Huh?" Huang Sheng thought that he had heard it wrong, and Zhang Er listened carefully twice, only to realize that it was indeed his sister who was calling. And in the end, his sister turned into an infinite apology: "It's all my brother Xiao Susu who is not good, it's my brother Xiao Susu who lost my sister......"

"Brother is brother, what brother is Xiao Susu, it's a mess." Huang Sheng frowned, listening to him shouting, almost not laughing. Originally, she was angry with him for talking nonsense and ignored it, but looking at his downturned expression on the ground, the tenderness of motherhood made her unbearable. She took a step back and said to him, "Okay, you don't have to do this, I won't kill you, you get up!" However, the man on the earth did not pay any attention to her words except crying, and continued to do his thing. However, after seeing Huang Sheng take a step back, his sister, who was shouting in his throat, came suddenly, while clutching her throat with her hands, and kept shouting: "Thirsty...... After screaming like this twice, his eyes suddenly saw that one of the parties in the room had decided the case, and without a moment's hesitation, he immediately rolled his body and crawled to the side of the case....... Stretched out his hand, grabbed a broken urn directly in his hand, and sat up with the urn.

Huang Sheng watched his actions silently, didn't say a word, and didn't come out to stop him. I thought he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but I didn't want him to hold the broken urn, so he smiled at her stupidly, and then glanced out the door. Without lingering, he looked back into the broken urn twice, and did not immediately make a gesture to drink water. At this time, his right hand was gently raised, his five fingers were clenched in the palm of his hand, and the middle knuckle was raised, and he struck lightly against the wall of the broken urn.

"Boom!" It was an ordinary sound, but it sounded like a heavenly sound to that person's ears. After his blow, he looked up at Huang Sheng stupidly, as if to find the color of approval in her eyes. However, Huang Shang's body did not move, and his eyes could not wave. The man was not discouraged, his eyes looked away from her, and he smiled stupidly at the space outside the door. At the same time, the curled knuckle of his middle finger retracted, turning his ring finger up, and his thumb curled up, striking lightly against the wall of the urn.

"Knock~knock!" It looked like it was just a blow, but it was clear that there were two sounds. But if you don't listen carefully, it's no different from a sound. Listening to this bland sound of hitting the knot, Huang Sheng had also lost his patience: "I should go back!" "Thinking of this, I haven't seen my master in Liyang for many days, and I should have gone back to return directly to my master after telling Yu Poison about it, but I don't know how I came here because I didn't know how I was sent by God. Thinking of this, Huang Shang didn't hesitate anymore, and wanted to move out.

However, just as she was about to leave, an elderly man dressed in a gray robe walked in outside the door.

She was all too familiar with this man.

"Shi ......" saw his grim face, Huang Shang's whole body was shocked, and he retreated again and again. She was halfway through her words, but she saw that the old man immediately shook his head at her, signaling that she didn't need to make a sound, just listen to the sound of the urn in the room.

"Knock, knock, knock......" sound, like fairy music, made the old man listen to it infinitely, closed his eyes and shook his head. Huang Shang, who was standing on the side, couldn't hear the subtlety, but it was not good to disturb the old man, so he stepped aside, looked at his nose with his eyes, looked at his heart with his nose, and didn't say a word. Inside the room, there was only the sound of the urn being struck. And the person who struck the urn did not appear to be in any panic because there was suddenly another person in front of him, and he still kept knocking.

With a 'bang', the old man opened his eyes, walked up to the man gently, and asked him, "What is your name, do you have a place to go?" If not, can you follow me from now on? ”

"Hee-hee, haha." The man let go of the broken urn and grabbed a drum from the old man's waist, and was about to snatch it to play.

"Presumptuous!" Huang Sheng saw that Liu Shang's eyebrows were raised, and she was about to step forward to tear him away, but the old man called her away: "You might as well!" He turned his head, untied the drum around his waist, held it in his hand, and asked him, "Do you like it?" Seeing him nod, he smiled: "If you like me, I'll give it to you!" Seeing the sound of the drum beating in his hand, the old man smiled: "This thing is the most suitable for you, isn't it?" As if he was asking him, as if he were asking himself, the man didn't answer anyway, and he didn't explain.

"Master, this is ......" Huang Shang finally couldn't help it and stepped forward.

The old man glanced at her and said, "Don't speak, you listen again." A drum was in the man's hand, striking a rhythmic syllable, and the old man listened to it and enjoyed it inexhaustibly. Even when Huang Sheng heard it at this time, his eyes lit up. As soon as the drum stopped, Huang Sheng couldn't hold it back, and immediately said, "Master, the drum beat just now ......"

"Not bad!"

The old man immediately nodded and said, "You mean to say that you are familiar with this drum sound, right?" Yes, this is exactly the technique of Gu vowel attack that the teacher has used, but it's a pity that you haven't been able to get the essentials and have never been able to comprehend its essence, so you haven't gotten the true transmission of the teacher until now. But you see that he is clearly destined for me, and it seems that I have to include him in the door. ”

Huang Shang was quite ashamed when he heard it, but when he heard that he was going to accept him into the door, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "But he ......"

The words were not spoken, and were cut off by the old man: "You mean that he is very abnormal, right?" It doesn't matter, I want his attainments in this area, as for his people...... It's better not to remember something, and to be confused. Without further ado, he lowered himself and said to the man, "If you don't tell me your name, I'll call you...... That's it for the black robe. It just so happens that your senior sister's name is Huang Shang, and it rhymes with your name. Black robe, let me ask you again, do you have a place to go? If you don't answer, it means no? Well, since you don't have a place to go, why don't you follow me in the future, okay? If you still don't answer, then I'll just assume that you're the default. In that case, then follow me from now on. ”

Stretched out his hand and grabbed the palm of the black robe tightly.

The black robe, raised his head and looked at the old man stupidly, and when he saw the old man laughing, he also smiled. The old man pulled him, but he did not refuse, instinctively stood up and followed him. When the old man saw it, he smiled and said to Huang Shang: "It seems that you will have one more junior brother from now on." Without waiting for Huang Sheng to answer, he grabbed the black robe and grabbed himself out of the door. Huang Sheng was slightly stunned, didn't say anything else, and hurriedly followed. But the old man walked in a hurry this time, and he had walked several feet away in an instant.

Huang Shang didn't dare to stay, so he hurriedly chased after him, and it took a few arrows to barely catch up with the old man. The old man's body slammed suddenly, and he turned around and asked her, "What are you doing with me?" Huang Shang was stunned for a moment, and said strangely in his heart, who else can I follow if I don't follow you? Before the words came out, the old man immediately ordered: "By the way, Yu Dashuai has already sent someone to find the teacher before, and the teacher only knows the news of your return." You don't have to apologize, I want to tell you that Yu Dashuai has something to discuss with you, so you can go now, even if he supports you to go out to work, you don't have to go back and forth as a teacher. That's ......"

The old man said, grabbed the black robe, and looked forward and left. Looking at the old man's distant back, Huang Sheng was slightly stunned, and a look of despair swept over her entire face.

"Does the master have this junior brother, so he doesn't want clothes anymore?"

Huang Shang was stunned, and the sourness in her heart couldn't be poured out. But these were just momentary thoughts, and after thinking of the master's confession, he didn't dare to delay, and his body moved, following the direction of the drug camp, and hurried away.

……

……

Xuzhou, Kaiyang City.

Inside the city was the trapped Zang Ba and his troops, and outside the city was the combined army of Tao Qian and Liu Bei. The coalition forces numbered tens of thousands and surrounded Kaiyang City. After half a month of siege, Kaiyang City is still unbroken. The round of attacks just now also had no effect. Deaths are getting worse day by day.

Liu ...... Liu Fujun, I think it's going to be like this today, right? ”

Tao Qian is really distressed, most of the people who died are the elite Danyang soldiers in his hands. This army is strong, it can be said that it is his trump card division, the number is not large, and it is not so easy to recruit and train, seeing that after a battle, he has died so much, how can it not be painful? However, Liu Bei, who was in charge of supervising the war, was excited after hearing Tao Qian's words and argued with him.

I only listened to Liu Bei's generous statement: "Tao Envoy Jun, it's not me Liu Bei who is unkind, I don't know how to cherish these people and horses, and I don't know the heavy casualties." It is really a day of opening the sun and not pulling it out, if it is in the throat, we will not have a day of peace. Moreover, before leaving, I Liu Bei promised Tian Tingshi that once he returned to Xuzhou, I would immediately send reinforcements to him when everything was settled down and assist him in dealing with Chen Nuo. But now, even if we want to reinforce Qingzhou, if Kaiyang doesn't pull out one day, I will be pinned down by him on the front line of the East China Sea one day, and I can't easily take half a step out of Langya. How? If I wait for a move, there will be Zang Ba behind me who will suffer after Kaiyang waits for us, so I can't act rashly. But the news from Qingzhou is also known to you, not long after I left, Chen Nuo joined forces with Beihai Kong Rong to subvert Qingzhou in an instant, and besieged Tian Tingshi in a city in Changguo, and the situation was already dangerous. Even if I can wait here, how can he wait there? If before we aid Qingzhou, and Changguo is broken by Chen Nuo, and Tian Assassin Shi is defeated, then wouldn't I, Liu Bei, be dishonest in people and the world, and tell me how Liu Bei will face the people of the world and Tao Envoy Jun in the future? ”

Tao Qian didn't expect his words to attract such a long statement from him, and he didn't feel ashamed.

He hurriedly stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said to Liu Bei: "The envoy is really a person of faith, I might as well do it." She stepped back behind him, not daring to interject any more. Liu Bei didn't have time to pay attention to him, and seeing the defeat ahead, he immediately stepped forward to supervise the battle.

Liu Bei moved, and behind Tao Qian, the general Cao Bao sneered, and came out and said to Tao Qian: "Liu Fujun, he is just touching his mouth with his upper lip, not a single soldier in his hands, and he uses my Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and the death or injury is none of his business, of course he doesn't know how distressed." As for the matter of Qingzhou, no one talked about him behind his back, saying that when he needed help the most in Tian Tingshi, he took all the elite soldiers and horses around him to Xuzhou, but he pretended to leave some of the remnants of the defeated soldiers to Tian Tingshi, which is really a hypocritical and righteous person......"

"Are you finished?" Tao Qian glanced around, fortunately there was no Liu Bei's ears and eyes, seeing that Cao Bao was in a hurry, he quickly interrupted him. Cao Bao snorted, posed as a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, smiled, and continued: "Also, the reason why Qingzhou lost so quickly is not because Liu Fujun suddenly ran away? Thinking that the situation in Qingzhou was already very difficult at that time, his escape made it difficult for Tian Thorn Shi to support himself, and it was overturned overnight. Hmph, you don't know about these envoys, and you must also deeply understand that Liu Bei is just a little person! But I don't understand, but you are still indulged in him, and you still have to be polite to him face to face......"

"Shut up!"

Speaking of Qingzhou's retreat, Tao Qian can completely use Zang Ba to make trouble, he had to withdraw troops to prevaricate in order to stabilize Xuzhou, and the world will not blame him. But in the final analysis, only he understood that before the news of Zang Ba came, he already had the intention of retreating, so he seized the opportunity to retreat. Speaking of this matter, he has always had a trace of guilt, and now when he heard Cao Bao mention it, his heart was uneasy, and he couldn't help but be involved. He asked Cao Bao to shut up, knowing that he was not convinced in his heart, so he eased his breath and said: "People will have some selfish intentions, not to mention that the situation was indeed a little unoptimistic at that time, and he was only afraid of being burdened by staying in Qingzhou, he could see the opportunity to retreat and protect himself, we are indeed understandable, and there is no need to talk about him in the future." ”

Cao Bao snorted and asked, "A shrewd person like him, I don't know how Tao Yuanjun will treat him in the future with him?" To say something unpleasant, when Tao Envoy Jun is here, he may be in the way of the Envoy and dare not act rashly, but if Tao Envoy Jun is a hundred years later, is the foundation of Xuzhou handed over to the hands of the two sons? You can make you live by yourself, with the ability of the two sons, can you suppress a cunning person like Liu Bei? If so, then; If not, Xuzhou will change hands and be laughed at by others! ”

Tao Qian raised his brows, was silent for a moment, and his face changed several times in an instant.

He glanced at Cao Bao, and then said, "This matter cannot be presumptuously discussed! Although Tao Qian didn't have more words, in Cao Bao's opinion, what he just said did go to Tao Qian's heart. The foundation of Xuzhou, no matter how righteous he Tao Qian is, he will choose his son as his successor, if an outsider threatens him, he naturally can't help but attract his attention. Cao Bao smiled, didn't say a word more, silently retreated.

Tao Qian, thinking about what Cao Bao said just now, weighed his two precious sons, shook his head, and sighed helplessly, I have to admit that the two sons are indeed inferior to Liu Bei. If he is a hundred years later, whether the military administration of Xuzhou is handed over to any of the two sons, he will not be Liu Bei's opponent. When the time comes, Xuzhou will change hands, which is really the laughing stock of the world! Can...... Is it better to prevent trouble before it happens, and just get rid of him? It seems inappropriate, although Xuzhou at this time is yellow. The calamity has been removed, but the four realms are still not peaceful. Not to mention that there is Zang Ba in Kaiyang in front of him, and the Xiapi area behind him is also extremely unstable, and there is even more chaos along the river, which really makes him feel uneasy. And Liu Bei, regardless of his character, fortunately, he can lead the troops, and there are two fierce generals under his command, who can borrow a force from him, so it is not good to offend. It seems that at least for now, he and Liu Bei can only live in peace and keep him by his side, as for the future...... More on the future.

Tao Qian thought about it like this, but at this time, he rode around on horseback, but it was Liu Bei who arrived.

For some reason, when Cao Bao told Liu Bei, it was not so natural for him to see Liu Bei at this time, and he even had a faint anger in his heart. Liu Bei didn't see it at all, and when he hit the horse to Tao Qian's side, he immediately sighed: "Although Tao Yuanjun's subordinates are fierce, they are too strong, they don't listen to the dispatch at all, and it is easy to miss the fighter if the command is not moving." It seems that if we want to improve their combat effectiveness, we can only continue to strengthen military discipline. As long as they are like a mountain, they naturally have no reason not to listen, and they can be the king's teacher at that time. ”

Liu Bei's words are really good, he has strong Danyang soldiers in his hands, but their military discipline is really not good, which is also a headache for Tao Qian. Listening to Liu Bei's last sentence of 'the king's teacher', he was really useful in his heart, and immediately changed his opinion of Liu Bei. At this time, he had the intention of taking the school Liu Bei, and as soon as he finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Liu Fujun, what you said is reasonable, this is ...... There is no denying it indeed. If Danyang soldiers can pay equal attention to bravery and military discipline, it will not be difficult to make a difference in the future. I see that there are few people around you, so it's better to be like this...... I will allocate a Danyang army of 3,000 people here to return to the palace, and you will dispatch it. As for what this team can train into in the future, it depends on you. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This ...... How does this work? This is 3,000 Danyang soldiers! ”

Tao Qian laughed and said, "How can you not do it, unless you don't have this confidence......

"In order to prove whether I, Liu Bei, have this confidence, it seems that I, Liu Bei, can't help but accept the grace of Tao Yuanjun today. In this way, I Liu Bei...... But it's disrespectful! Hearing Liu Bei's words, Tao Qian raised his head and brushed his beard. Although he didn't say anything, he said in his heart: "Although Liu Bei is a hidden danger to my Xuzhou, if you can use him well, it will also be a big help." In my lifetime, and observe him well, if it can be used to me at last, I will keep him; If you can't ......"

The news of Tao Qian's transfer of 3,000 Danyang soldiers immediately reached Cao Bao's ears behind him, and Cao Bao heard that it was two eyes together, and scolded fiercely in his heart: "This old horseman is ignorant and unwise, and he has been busy with him for a long time. didn't want to move him, but made him closer to Liu Bei! Cao Bao's hatred was hard to dissipate, but it was not easy to come out to object, so he just snorted and looked at Liu Bei coldly. Liu Bei was overjoyed in his heart, and said a lot of good things to Tao Qian, almost forgetting that he was on the battlefield at this time.

As soon as he rode a horse, he galloped and reported to Tao Qian: "Newspaper~~ A group of men and horses appeared more than ten miles north of Kaiyang City, and they are rushing towards this side!" ”

"Centaurs up north?"

Tao Qian and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they both saw uneasiness in each other's eyes. Before Tao Qian could speak, Liu Bei had already opened his mouth to ask him: "Who are these people, what banner are they flying, and how many are there in total?" The detective hurriedly replied: "The number of the other party is between five or six hundred, and it is under the banner of Chen. ”

When Tao Qian heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "It seems that Chen Nuo finally can't sit still in Qingzhou, and he is going to meddle in my Xuzhou affairs again." Fortunately, he only sent five or six hundred people who were useless this time, but it just means to prove his existence, I don't need to pay attention to it! ”

After the scout rode down, Liu Bei brushed his beard and said: "These five or six hundred people are indeed useless, but since he sent them, it means that he Chen Nuo has officially intervened in my Xuzhou affairs, and he should not be treated sloppily." In this way, at present, we have been glued to Zang Ba under Kaiyang City, and it is not a way, since he is here, we can wait for a temporary truce, retreat ten miles from the city and go to the village, and see what he does. Tao Qian listened to Liu Bei's advice, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops, and retreated ten miles to re-establish the camp.

As soon as he set up camp here, Tao Qian and Liu Bei sat down in the tent to discuss matters, and a soldier outside the tent presented a letter and handed it to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian opened it and looked at it before and after, and he couldn't help but laugh. Liu Bei was beside him and asked with concern: "What is it that makes Tao Yuanjun uncontrollable?" "......Look at it yourself," Tao Qian smiled, and passed the letter to Liu Bei to read. Liu Bei Zhanxin looked before and after, but after a moment's scanning, he saw the general idea. He put the letter down and laughed: "Chen Nuo brought five or six hundred soldiers and horses to pretend, and now he is shameless to send a letter, in a vain attempt to scare off Tao Zhijun with a few words, let Tao Zhijun retreat soldiers and horses, and avoid fighting, this kid is also arrogant enough, it's really funny." ”

Tao Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "He Chen Nuo also thinks too highly of himself, no wonder he makes such wild remarks, for such a junior, it is all about his drunken gaffes, I don't have to pay attention to it." Liu Bei shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Chen Nuo's letter reminded me that our side has been besieging Kaiyang for a long time, and we can't attack it for a long time, if we don't work hard, I'm afraid that when he breaks the Changguo and takes the history of Tian Thorn, maybe he will use today's incident as an excuse to blame us for not giving face, and then he will take advantage of the military momentum to raise troops to the south, under the guise of reinforcing Zang Ba, and openly annex my Xuzhou territory, which is indeed unprepared." For today's plan, when the final attack on Kaiyang is launched, we must take this city in one fell swoop, otherwise Xuzhou is in danger! ”

When Tao Qian heard this, his brows trembled, and he nodded and said, "If you want to take Kaiyang as soon as possible, now you have only one way to increase your troops." Speaking of which, most of my Xuzhou soldiers and horses were transferred to Kaiyang City by me, and the other half were stationed in the East China Sea to guard against the Pi rebels. Now it seems that in order to take Kaiyang as soon as possible, I have to use this army and horses, and I will fight with the thieves with all my strength! When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and said: "If Tao makes Jun can do his best, then it will not be difficult to open the sun." ”

Tao Qian didn't say a word, and immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Tan County, Donghai, and present it in front of Chen Deng's case. When Chen Deng received the letter, he did not immediately send troops, but wrote a letter, and Xingye asked someone to send it to Tao Qian. Tao Qian opened it and looked at it, his brows were furrowed so much that he couldn't open it, as if he couldn't make a decision. Liu Bei next to him saw it and asked, and Tao Qian handed over the letter to him. Liu Bei unfolded the whole reading and said with a smile: "Chen. Yuanlong is really worrying, the bandits on the other side of Xiapi don't have a seizure from time to time, and they don't have a seizure at this time, how could they have a seizure immediately after we transferred the East China Sea garrison? Of course, this layer of hidden danger can not be ignored, Tao Envoy Jun might as well pass the order, but after receiving the order, the East China Sea garrison secretly came to increase Kaiyang, and it was not to be publicized. As soon as they arrive, Kaiyang City will soon be broken, and once Kaiyang is broken, I will send them back later, even if they don't know it, are they afraid of other hidden dangers? ”

Tao Qian listened carefully, nodded and said: "What Liu Fujun said is reasonable, just do what you want!" "On his side, before sending another letter to Chen Deng's case, Chen Deng must take the seal letter and let the East China Sea garrison secretly reinforce Kaiyang. Chen Deng read the letter again and again, and when he saw Tao Qian's earnest words, he had no need to remind him anymore, and did what Tao Qian said in the letter, and secretly transferred the East China Sea garrison to Kaiyang.

Just when Tao Qian made a big move outside the city, Gao Shun, the leader of Chen Nuo's reinforcements who was sent this time, had already led his troops into Kaiyang City a few days ago.

Although in order to stabilize the military spirit of Zang Ba in the city, he deliberately sent the letter handed over to him by Chen Nuo immediately after entering Kaiyang City, and handed it to Tao Qian. But Tao Qian, although he disagreed, did not reply to the book in time in order to stabilize Gao Shun and others. In the past few days, not only has Gao Shun been anxious, but Zang Ba and others have been so anxious that they are restless, waiting for news from outside the city. However, after a few days of delay, there was still no response from Tao Qian, and the other party withdrew and did not withdraw, and fought and did not fight, which was really anxious.

"Big brother, if you continue to wait like this, you can really suffocate someone. If that's the case, why don't you open the city now! Anyway, sooner or later, Lao Tzu is going to arrest Tao Qian's guy, and let out this evil breath for your eldest brother! ”

"Yes, big brother let's fight!" ……

Seeing that Sun Guan and Wu Dun couldn't sit still, and shouted on the side, Zang Ba was also a little moved. He is not a bad seed, Tao Qian is blocked at the door of his house, if he wants to fight, he naturally wants to fight, otherwise why wash the shame of Tan County? However, now it is no longer a question of whether to fight or not, the point is that he cannot die. Chen Nuo asked Gao Shun to come over with a message, telling him to be able to endure it, stick to Kaiyang, and not move around. Chen Nuo is kind to him, since the benefactor has this request, how can he destroy the righteousness for his own selfishness? Zang Ba quietly listened to the two of them shouting, and when he couldn't listen to it anymore, he patted the wooden case and shouted: "Second, third, you shut up for me!" If you bother Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will kill you two first! ”

He couldn't sit still, got up from the seat, went out the door, and went directly to Gao Shun.

Seeing Gao Shun, he immediately complained: "Ah, this, I'm almost overwhelmed by the voice of the battle below." General Gao, tell me the truth, does General Chen's words work with Tao Qian? If it works, how come there is still no movement after all these days, and there is no withdrawal of their troops? ”

Gao Shun was asked by him, and said slowly and quietly: "Please believe General Chen, if you want to come to Tao Qian, he can listen to the persuasion after seeing the letter, and finally withdraw from the army, that is the best." If he is still stubborn and insists on attacking Kaiyang, then morality is lost on his side, and when we fight again, it will also be righteous and awe-inspiring. However, speaking of which, although he did not reply to the letter for a few days after this letter went, I don't know what he planned to do, but he also did not send troops to attack these days, which is also a good sign, as long as General Zang has been patiently waiting, I believe that there will be a day when the truth will be revealed. ”

When Zang Ba heard this, he smiled dumbly: "I thought I wanted to ask for accurate information from General Gao's mouth, but now it seems that General Gao doesn't know either." "That being said, Gao Shun is the leader of the reinforcements sent by Chen Nuo after all, and he can't be neglected. He didn't want to mention the matter of replying to the letter here, so he just pretended to be relaxed, and instead asked him about some Qingzhou things, and talked about Chen Nuo two sentences, and his words were respectful. When the two of them were talking in the house, they didn't want an arrow to hit the city, and they were picked up by the soldiers in the city, and when they saw a book tied to it, they immediately took it down and presented it to Zang Ba.

"What does it say?"

The letter was in Gao Shun's hand, Gao Shun opened it and read it, and his face changed. Hearing Zang Ba's question, he immediately replied: "It's Tao Qian's reply that sent people into the city." "Give it to Zang Ba to see. Zang Ba looked back and forth for a moment, his face also changed, he threw away the book, and scolded: "Tao Qian, this bastard, since he didn't agree to withdraw the army, why did he go earlier, he had to grind and chirp so many geniuses to hold back a fart!" Hmph, it's just right, he doesn't want to withdraw his troops, just let him come over, and see how my Zang Ba cleans him up? ”

Although he said that, after all, Gao Shun was here, and when he thought of Chen Nuotuo's words from Gao Shun, he didn't feel sorry: "This, I promised General Chen to protect Kaiyang City well, but this time...... Tao Qian didn't move for a long time, and at this time he suddenly had a reply, probably because he had transferred additional troops and horses from elsewhere, and it seemed that he was going to launch a final attack on my Kaiyang City. Before the other party's army arrives, I think General Gao, you should go out of the city as soon as possible, so that you can tell General Chen about the situation on my side, and tell me how grateful Zang Ba is to him. ”

Zang Ba has been in Xuzhou for a long time, and he can know some of Tao Qian's family background, and he also knows that Tao Qian's soldiers and horses sent to Kaiyang this time are really not all of them, and there should be reservations. In fact, as early as after Chen Nuo's letter was sent out and there was no reply for many days, he already had this kind of vigilance in his heart. At this time, it seems that since he did not agree to withdraw his troops, and it was delayed for a long time, most of them went to transfer troops. Before the soldiers arrived, he didn't want to involve Gao Shun as well, so he had this admonition.

Gao Shun didn't hear it, and he didn't speak for a while. Outside the house, Sun Guan and Wu Dun also heard the news and immediately gathered around.

"Big brother, I heard that the thieves have a reply, but with this matter, do they agree to withdraw their troops?"

"Why didn't the eldest brother speak, could it be...... Hmph, it's best if he doesn't retreat, let's go kill his mother. ”

Wu Dun was the most impulsive, and he was about to rush out, but he was stopped by Sun Guan in time. Sun Quan turned around, looked at Gao Shun, and said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, aren't you the reinforcements sent by General Chen, the matter has come to this point, don't you have no choice?" Do you want to watch us fight the thieves cleanly? ”

Seeing a pair of burning eyes, Gao Shun's scalp was also numb. Yes, Sun Guan's words are not wrong, he is here to save people, not soy sauce! As soon as he thought of this, he was anxious and had no choice, when his eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his hand and patted his forehead, and hurriedly said, "Everyone! You see that I'm in such a hurry, I almost forgot about business. Hehe, don't worry, General Chen left me a bag when he left, so that I could open it when the thieves were unwilling to retreat. Now, it's time to ......"
