The messenger sobbed and said, "General Gao Shun is seriously injured, Lord Guo Tu and Master Li Ru... They ......"

Ma Yue's heart jumped suddenly, he picked up the messenger in his chest, and shouted: "What's wrong with Guo Tu? ”

For the horse butcher, although Li Ru surrendered, he was a completely irrelevant person, and naturally had no feelings at all. But Guo Tu is different, starting from Yingchuan, Guo Tu began to follow the horse butcher's command to offer advice, although it was not voluntary at first, but later he has always been loyal to the horse butcher and never abandoned.

The messenger said gloomily: "Lord Guo Tu, he died in battle. ”

"!" Ma Yue was furious, threw the messenger to the ground, and shouted, "Guo Tu is a scribe, how can he get to the battlefield? How could he die in battle? It's nonsense! ”

"General." The messenger hurriedly turned over and got up, knelt on the ground and cried, "General Gao Shun escorted Guo Tu and Li Ru up the mountain to inspect the terrain, who would have thought that an enemy army would suddenly be killed in the deep mountains and dense forests, and the leader was Zhang Fei, a general under the command of Liu Bei, the captain of Si Li, General Gao Shun was defeated and seriously injured, and Guo Tu and Li Ru were also killed. ”

Zhang ...... Fly! ”

Ma Yue's steel teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, Jia Xu looked at his face, and knew that Ma Yue had moved to be really angry. Thinking about it again, when Ma Yue was likely to send troops to Luoyang to avenge Guo Tu, Jia Xu's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of gloom, although the situation in Liangzhou and Guanzhong is very good, it is far from the time to attack Luoyang.

This is not to say that Ma Yue did not have the strength to attack Luoyang.

In fact, with Ma Yue's strength at that time, he could destroy Liu Bei in Luoyang with a single hand! But having the strength to destroy Liu Bei and really sending troops to destroy Liu Bei are two different things. Liu Bei was not only the lieutenant of the school, responsible for guarding the security of Luoyang and Gyeonggi, but also the default agent of the Kwantung princes of the Eighteenth Road.

If Ma Yue raised troops to attack Liu Bei, it was likely to attract the collective crusade of the remaining seventeen Kwantung princes, and even the princes of the whole world, and the scene of the crusade against Dong Zhuo was likely to be repeated.

"Whew."

Ma Yue let out a long sigh of relief, Huo Ran relaxed his fists, his expression also regained his composure, and asked in a deep voice, "What about General Gao Shun?" ”

The messenger said: "I have arrived at the Thirty Mile Pavilion in the east of the city." ”

Ma Yue waved his hand and said to Dian Wei: "Where is Dian Wei?" ”

Dian Wei took a step forward and said quickly, "What does the lord command?" ”

A trace of sadness flashed leisurely in Ma Yue's eyes, and he said gloomily: "Pass the order, the whole city will be silent, and the army will go out of the city for twenty miles, and line up to meet General Gao Shun and Lord Guo Tu...... Return! ”

"The last general commands."

Dian Wei suddenly agreed and took the order to leave.

……

Twenty miles east of Chang'an City.

Gao Shun woke up faintly, and saw Ma Yue standing in front of the soft couch at a glance, only to see Ma Yue's pale face, deep eyes, undisguised gnashing hatred between his eyebrows, and a little faint sadness. This hatred is naturally hatred of Zhang Fei and hatred of Liu Bei, but this is mourning, but it is mourning Gao Shun, and even more mourning Guo Tu.

"Lord... Male..."

Gao Shun struggled to sit up, but he held up empty, only to find that his entire left arm had been folded shoulder-to-shoulder.

"Don't move!" Ma Yue hurriedly took a step forward, pressed Gao Shun, and said in a condensed voice, "Gao Shun, you lie like this, don't move." ”

After saying that, Ma Yue turned around and shouted, "What's the sentence? ”

Ju suddenly stepped forward and said quickly: "The end will be." ”

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "Immediately rush to the old camp in Hetao and bring the eldest lady to Chang'an." ”

Ju said suddenly: "Obey." ”

"Remember!" Ma Yue said sharply, "You must be fast, rush to the old camp as fast as possible!" ”

"Yes."

Ju suddenly agreed, and galloped away.

Ma Yue turned around and said to Jia Xu beside him: "Wenhe, immediately send someone to find all the Langzhong within a radius of 300 miles from Chang'an (Ma Yue has moved nearly a million people from Guanzhong to the north, but there are still many people who have escaped arrest by hiding in the mountains, so there are still people living near Chang'an), and do everything possible to stabilize General Gao Shun's injuries!" You tell them that if you can't keep Gao Shun's surname, Lao Tzu will destroy their nine clans!! ”

The general under his command was seriously injured and disabled, his henchmen and strategists died tragically, and the huge grief had made Ma Yue lose his mind a little, Jia Xu wanted to comfort him, but his lips spurted twice, and he couldn't say a word after all. At this time, the horse butcher is like an active volcano that is about to erupt, and anyone who stops it can only ignite the fire [***].

After Jia Xu left, Ma Yue subconsciously said: "Gongzhi, immediately send someone to Wudu Taishou Duan ......"

Ma Yue's words stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and then became iron-blue, and all the generals around him couldn't bear to turn their heads sideways, their faces showed gloomy colors, and the atmosphere on the scene seemed depressed and dignified. Suddenly, Ma Yue turned his head and looked straight at the stretcher carried by the two soldiers, on which was Guo Tu's cold corpse.

"My lord."

A member of the tooth general suddenly stepped forward, holding a tray in his hand, and solemnly handed it to Ma Yue, the tray was also covered with a thin white cloth, and there were red blood streaks coming out of it. Ma Yue stretched out his hand to lift the white cloth, and saw a bloody head on the tray, with round eyes and hideous eyebrows, it was Zhang Fei.

"Zhang Fei!" Ma Yue's eyes suddenly revealed a chilling coldness, and he said word by word, "Immediately send Zhang Fei's head to Luoyang, and then tell Liu Bei that within ten days, the soldiers will come to the city!" Break Luoyang, chickens and dogs don't stay! ”

The tooth general knelt on the ground and said quickly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Ma Yue Huoran turned around and said sharply: "Fa Zhen." ”

Zhang Yetai Fa Zhen (Fa Zheng's grandfather), who came to Chang'an with Ma Yue, hurriedly took two steps forward and said to Ma Yue: "What does the lord command?" ”

Ma Yue said: "With 800 miles of urgency, order Wudu Taishou Duan Xuan, and Du Wei Yang Feng immediately lead the army to Chang'an, if you don't arrive in Chang'an within three days, this general will not spare it." ”

Fa Zhen hurriedly responded: "The subordinate receives the order." ”

"Fu Xie."

"The lower official is here."

"Starry Night rushed to the north, let Mr. Fu Zhu go to Longxian to preside over the overall situation of Liangzhou, and then ordered General Ma Teng to gather all the combatable troops in the ten counties of Liangzhou, and ordered him to immediately go to Chang'an to assemble."

"The Commander Receives the Order"

"Ma Chao!"

"What does my brother command?"

"With an expedited period of 800 miles, order Wang Yuan, the chief of the Western Regions (who has been surrendered and is still appointed by Ma Yue as the chief of the Western Regions), to gather the 36 countries of the Western Regions such as Shanshan and Cheshi, and rush to Chang'an within two months to stand by."

"The little brother takes the order."

"Xu Chu."

"The end will be."

"Led 3,000 iron horsemen to immediately rush to the old camp in Hetao and escorted grain and grass to Chang'an."

"The last will obey."

"Fang Yue, Xu Huang."

"The end will be."

"As the main and deputy vanguard, lead eight thousand iron cavalry to immediately kill Hangu Pass, and order the Hangu Pass guard to surrender Zhao Cen Xianguan, but if he does not surrender ......" Ma Yue said this, his eyes revealed a palpitating coldness, and he said word by word, "Heguan is razed to the ground, and no people and animals are left." ”

"Yes."

The distribution was decided, and the generals took their orders and departed.

Only then did Ma Yue take a deep breath of cold air, and his gaze became deeper than ever. Ma Yue was not unaware of the consequences of attacking Luoyang at this time, and he dispatched troops to gather almost all the troops that could be mobilized to Chang'an, just to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle in advance.

Destroying Liu Bei and occupying Luoyang will inevitably be attacked by the Kwantung princes and even the princes of the world, which will be an unprecedented decisive battle. If he wins, the horse butcher will win the whole world! If he loses, the horse butcher may lose a piece of armor, and Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and even the old camp in Hetao will be lost.

It was an unprecedented gamble, but it was not the original intention of the horse butcher.

But even if the final result is to go to the prairie to be a horse thief, the horse butcher has decided to fight this earth-shattering battle, not for anything else, but for the dead Guo Tu and the seriously injured Gao Shun!

Some people may laugh at Ma Yue's stupidity and laugh at Ma Yue's idiot, but Ma Yue's thoughts are actually the same as Cao Ying's, both of them can be called eloquent, they can be described as the world's heroes, most of the time they can stay calm and rational, but this does not mean that they do not have reverse scales.

They also have reverse scales, and if they are touched, they will immediately invite crazy revenge.

The big husband has something to do and something not to do, this ...... It's a human being, a man of flesh and blood.

……

Jixian County, Gongsun Zhan's official residence.

After the defeat of Zeguo, Gongsun Zan fled back to the camp of Zhao State in panic, Yuan Shao immediately launched a fierce attack with a large army, Gongsun Zan army was disheartened, defeated back to Youzhou, and the 60,000 Youyan army under his command was lost, and only a few hundred relatives fled back to Jixian County. After escaping back to Jixian County, Gongsun Zhan was frightened and caught the cold, and immediately fell ill in bed.

Gongsun Zhan's face was like gold paper, and he leaned on the head of the bed and continued to Gongsun: "Xu'er." ”

Gongsun continued: "Father, the child is here. ”

Gongsun Zan said: "Yan Gang, Guan Jing and Zhao Yun, do they have any news?" ”

Gongsun continued to say gloomily: "Father, General Yan Gang and Mr. Guan Jing have all died in battle, and General Zhao Yun's whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Alas......" Gongsun Chan let out a long sigh before asking, "What is the situation now?" ”

Gongsun continued: "Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi is attacking Zhuo County, and Zhang Ji, the assassin of Bingzhou, is also taking the opportunity to send troops to attack Dai County, and these two counties will soon be captured. ”

Gongsun Zan said: "Yuan Shao's ambition is not small, and his appetite is not only Zhuojun, he is going to annex the entire Youzhou." ”

Gongsun continued to panic: "Father, what should we do now?" ”

Gongsun Zhan said: "Xu'er, while you sent people to recruit reinforcements from Liaodong and Liaoxi to Jixian County, you went to Liangzhou to ask Pingxi General Ma Yue for help. As long as Ma Pingxi is willing to send troops to the rescue, with the tiger and wolf army under his command, Yuan Shaoxiaoer will be an opponent. ”

Gongsun continued: "Yes, father, the child will arrange it." ”

……

Chang'an, Ma Yue's official residence.

Jia Xu stubbornly persuaded: "Lord, it's not yet time to attack Luoyang." ”

"Don't fight Luoyang?" Ma Yue glanced at Jia Xu with compassion and asked, "How can you catch Liu Bei if you don't fight Luoyang?" How can you avenge Gongze and Gao Shun? ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, it is a personal vendetta to avenge Gongzhi and Gao Shun, but attacking Luoyang is a great disrespect to the imperial court, and it is against the righteousness of the people and ministers, I am afraid that it will attract the collective condemnation of the princes of the world, and it is likely to repeat the tragedy of Dong Zhuo." As a result, the situation of our army is extremely passive. ”

"I can't care so much." Ma Yue said sharply, "If you can ignore the death, injury, or cripplement of the brothers around you, is General Ben still human?" If avenging the brothers of life and death is a great disrespect to the imperial court, then what's the matter! Even if you do Dong Zhuo once, what is the regret? ”

"Alas......" Jia Xu sighed, and then persuaded, "Since the lord insists on avenging the prince and General Gao Shun, then before sending troops, you should first go to the court, explain in detail the crimes of Liu Bei, the captain of Sili, and let the court tie Liu Bei to Chang'an and listen to the fate of the lord." ”

Ma Yue's expression moved, and he asked: "The entire Luoyang is under the control of Liu Bei, can he tie himself up to Chang'an and send him to death?" ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "Of course Liu Bei will not tie himself up to Chang'an, this is just an official article, the purpose is just to create an excuse for the lord to send troops, which means that the lord raised troops to attack Luoyang this time, not to be disrespectful to the imperial court, but to kill Liu Bei, the captain of Sili, to avenge his subordinates." ”

Jia Xu is also painstaking, this may not be able to eliminate the hostility of the princes of the world, but at least it can save some of the influence, as for how useful this can be, even if the resourcefulness is as profound as Jia Xu, it is difficult to predict. But it's man-made, and it's better to do it than not to do it.

"That's fine." Ma Yue pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, you can play the Son of Heaven immediately." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Xu will arrange this." ”

……

Luoyang, Liu Bei's official residence.

"Third brother!"

"Third brother, ......

Liu Bei and Guan Yu brothers are crying around the wooden box containing Zhang Fei's head, not far in front of the two, standing proudly The tooth general who came to send people's heads, seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu crying sadly, the tooth general couldn't help but have a cruel smile on his face, and said coldly: "My lord also said that within ten days, the soldiers will come to the city, break Luoyang, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ”

"Kill you!"

Guan Yu roared, turned around and smashed a punch to the door of the tooth general, the tooth general snorted and stretched out his hand to block the grid, only to hear a click, the tooth general's hands were smashed by Guan Yu to pieces, and then, Guan Yu's other iron fist smashed again, and the tooth general could no longer resist, so he could only watch Guan Yu's big iron fist smash on his face.

"Poof."

The blood splattered, and the front door of the tooth general was immediately smashed into bloody flesh.

"Big brother!" Guan Yu smashed the tooth general who came to write the war book with a punch, turned to Liu Bei and shouted, "It's better to do your best, kill to Chang'an, slaughter the horse butcher and avenge the third brother and Mr. Jian Yong!" ”

Liu Bei was even more heartbroken than Guan Yu for Zhang Fei's death, and hated the horse butcher to the bone, but he knew better that to fight the horse butcher with his own strength was undoubtedly to touch the egg with a stone, but it was just self-destruction! Unlike Guan Yu, who thought about revenge, Liu Bei's first thought was how to resist the revenge of the horse butcher.

Although the horse butcher is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a wolf, he also has the advantage of doing what he says and never breaking his word! Since the horse butcher said that he would attack Luoyang to avenge his subordinates, within ten days, the horse butcher's army will definitely appear under Luoyang City, which is an undoubted thing.

"Second brother." Liu Bei stopped his grief and said to Guan Yu, "If you want to take revenge, I'm afraid you don't have to kill Chang'an, within ten days, the horse butcher will definitely lead the army to attack Luoyang." ”

"That's right." Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Then we will wait for him in Luoyang!" Last time in the grassland on the dam, a certain failed to kill him, this time in Luoyang, a certain will not spare him, and will definitely break his body into thousands of pieces, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart. ”

……

Wang Yun's official residence.

Cai Yong, Liu Hong, Lu Yu and other court officials have gathered together.

Liu Hong sighed and said: "This is a disaster, the horse butcher is a wolf in the northwest, and his surname is extremely ferocious, compared to Dongzhuo in Xiliang, Liu Bei is not good to provoke him, alas, ......"

"yes, who's to say no." Lu Yu smiled bitterly, "If you really want to let the horse butcher enter Beijing, can the Han Dynasty still be good?" ”

Wang Yun frowned and said, "Then what do you mean by your lords, do you really tie Liu Bei to Chang'an?" ”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly: "For the safety of the imperial court, it would be nothing to sacrifice a small Si Li lieutenant, but the problem is that Liu Bei has the military power of Si Li in his hands, even if we have the heart to tie him up to Chang'an, but is he willing?" In case of urgency, Liu Bei jumped over the wall in a hurry to burn the jade, so what should I do? ”

"Ugh." Wang Yun sighed and said with annoyance, "If Feng Xian is still in Hedong, he can let him lead the old department of the state to Luoyang to preside over the overall situation, and Liu Bei can only accept his fate, but now that Feng Xian has gone to Yanzhou, looking at Luoyang and Jinggi, no one can restrain Liu Bei, now that I think about it, it is really a mistake." ”

"Who's to say it's not." Liu Hong said, "At the beginning, the lower officials reminded the lord that he could not hand over the power of leading the new army to Liu Bei, but the lord didn't listen, what was the result?" Now it's going to be a big disaster. ”

Cai Yong said: "Lord Liu Hong, don't talk about these useless things now, everyone should quickly think about how to think of a way to help the court overcome the difficulties in front of you." ”

Wang Yun's expression was cold, and he said: "It's better to issue an edict in the name of the Queen Mother, put Liu Bei into the palace, and then bury a soldier in the palace in advance, and just wait for Liu Bei to arrive and ambush the soldiers to tie him up to Chang'an, how about it?" ”

Cai Yong and the others nodded again and again: "This plan is very good. ”

"Okay." Wang Yun got up and said in a deep voice, "Then it's decided." ”

It's just that Wang Yun and the others didn't expect that someone actually listened to their conversation word for word, and sold the news to Liu Bei at a high price.

……

Xuzhou.

Cao Jun's big camp, Cao Ying's big army tent.

Since the army surrounded Xuzhou City three days ago, Cao Ying annoyed Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan's generals attacked at night.

Seeing that Xuzhou City was about to be breached, Cao Ren, who stayed in Yanzhou, suddenly came to the Cao army camp.

"Lord, something is wrong."

Cao Ying was waiting for the good news of breaking the city in the tent, and suddenly woke up to see that it was Cao Ren, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zixiao is not in Yanzhou, but what is the matter with coming to Xuzhou?" ”

Cao Ren hurriedly said: "Lord, Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao and Zhizhong Chen Gong is reversed!" ”

"What! What did you say? Cao Ying was startled and said, "Zhang Miao and Chen Gong are reversed?" ”

Cao Ren said bitterly: "Exactly." ”

"Impossible." Cao Ying shook his head and said, "This is absolutely impossible. ”

"It's really the other way around." Cao Ren hurriedly said, "Not only did they rebel, but they also welcomed Lu Bu, the Taishou of Hedong, into Yanzhou and enshrined him as the pastor of Yanzhou, Lu Bu's Bingzhou army has successively conquered Chenliu, Jiyang, and Shanyang counties, and Taishan County has also defected to Lu Bu, only the East County guarded by Mr. Xun Yu and the Jibei Kingdom guarded by Mr. Cheng Yu are still under the control of our army." ”

"This ......"

Cao Ying's little eyes suddenly rolled around, and he didn't know how to deal with the predicament in front of him in a hurry.

Guo Jia lost no time in persuading: "Lord, now that Xuzhou City is almost attacked, Tao Qian has been frightened by the lord's soldiers, if the lord takes the initiative to ask for a strike at this time, even if he puts forward some harsh conditions, Tao Qian must not dare to refuse." On the contrary, if Tao Qian knew the news of Lu Bu's attack on Yanzhou, not only would he not be able to seek benefits at that time, but he was afraid that Tao Qian would in turn entangle our army, so that our army would suffer from the enemy on its back and the situation would not be good. ”

Xun You also persuaded: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, rather than hastily withdrawing the troops at that time, it is better to take advantage of the current situation and take the initiative to withdraw the troops." ”

"That's it." Cao Ying pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Immediately send an envoy into the city and explain to Tao Qian the intention to strike the army, but the condition is that Tao Qian must compensate 100,000 stone of grain, 50,000 catties of refined iron and 2,000 pairs of armor, if you don't agree to the conditions, you will continue to attack the city until the city is broken." ”

Xun You said happily: "You will arrange it." ”

……

Wudu County, Duan Xuan's official residence.

Yang Feng hurriedly entered, hugged his fists at Duan Xuan and said, "General Duan Xuan." ”

Duan Xuan also clenched his fists and saluted back: "General Yang Feng." ”

Yang Fengdao: "The general summoned the last general overnight, I don't know what is important?" ”

Duan Xuan handed the book in his hand to Yang Feng, and said in a condensed voice: "A moment ago, Ma Pingxi sent an urgent report of 800 miles to the horse, ordering you and me to gather in Chang'an with a large army. ”

Yang Feng's face suddenly became solemn, he took the book and browsed it at a glance, and said while reading: "Ma Pingxi's wording is so harsh!?" It seems that the situation is very serious, can the general know what happened in Chang'an? Could it be that Ma Pingxi wants to do his best to attack Luoyang with the Guanzhong army? ”

Duan Xuan said: "From the general's point of view, should we go to Chang'an?" ”

Yang Feng didn't answer and asked, "Is it okay not to go?" ”

Duan Xuan smiled bitterly: "Although the horse butcher is cruel and murderous, he is true to his word, and it is not okay not to be afraid." ”

Yang Feng said: "That's it, the military situation is urgent, you and I should quickly get up the army and go to Chang'an, if you really miss the trip, I'm afraid that it will be the end of the head landing immediately." ”

……

Hangu Pass.

Zhao Cen held a sword in his hand, bent down and stood in front of the closing door, more than a dozen lieutenant generals lined up behind him, and farther away, the five thousand remnants under Zhao Cen had been assembled, but all the soldiers were empty-handed. This time, they went out of the customs not to fight, but to surrender.

In the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, Xu Huang, Fang Yue, and Dian Wei came slowly around Ma Yue, who was wearing a golden battle armor, shining like a god of war under the light of the slanting sun, which made people dare not face it.

Zhao Cen led more than a dozen generals to rush forward a few steps, standing on the side of the road, Zhao Cen raised the sword above the top, and said loudly: "The last general, Zhao Cen, is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Ma Yue stretched out his hand to take the sword in Zhao Cen's hand, and after a little look, his eyes showed emotion, it turned out that this sword turned out to be the seven-star sword of the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn.

The seven-star sword is still sharp, but I don't know how many times it has changed hands, things are people, and I can't help but sigh in the horse butcher's heart.

Zhao Cen saw Ma Yue caressing his sword and pondering, he was silent for a long time, so he had to sing again: "The last general, Zhao Cen, is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Ma Yue finally came back to his senses and asked in a deep voice, "You are Zhao Cen?" ”

Zhao Cen said respectfully: "It's the villain." ”

Ma Yue squinted for a moment, and suddenly said, "Lead the horse to lead the way." ”

Zhao Cen was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed gloom, and more than a dozen generals behind him showed humiliation, and they were already filled with righteous indignation. Ma Yue saw it in his eyes, and his heart was just cold, these Liangzhou rebels are all arrogant and fierce generals, if they don't set up some rules, I'm afraid that it will be bad in the future

……

Luoyang, Liu Bei's official residence.

Guan Yu hurriedly rushed inside, only to see Liu Bei's face pale, looking at the screen in the hall in a daze.

"Big brother, Tanma reported that Zhao Cen, the guard of Hangu Pass, has surrendered." Guan Yu took a breath and said hurriedly, "The horse butcher's army has passed the Hangu Pass and is heading straight for Luoyang. ”

"Got it."

Liu Bei replied lightly, and then there was no response.

"Uh~~" Guan Yu took a breath and continued, "The younger brother has gathered all the troops that can be mobilized in the four counties of Hongnong, Hanoi, Hedong, and Henan to Luoyang City, but all of them together are only 8,000 people, less than half of the 20,000 army of the horse butcher, and the strength is still at a disadvantage." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Bei hummed again, and then didn't react again.

Guan Yu was stunned and said, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Alas......" Liu Bei sighed, and asked instead of answering, "Yun Chang, did you see the angels in the hall when you came?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Naturally, I saw it, and the younger brother thought that he was announcing the decree to the eldest brother." ”

"No, it wasn't sent by the Queen Mother to announce the decree." Liu Bei shook his head, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said in a condensed voice, "That's Wang Yun and Liu Hong who sent them to urge their lives!" ”

"What! Urgent? Guan Yu was puzzled, "How can the eldest brother say this?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Wang Yun and Liu Hong, these court officials are not well-intentioned, they want to escort their brother to Hangu Pass to make amends to the horse butcher, so as to protect Luoyang and their small property." ”

"Huh?" Guan Yu said in a speech, "There is such a thing!?" These hateful wall grass, the younger brother led the troops to raid their homes. ”

"Not busy." Liu Bei said with pity, "If they are unjust, don't blame me for being unkind, my brother has prepared the way for them to go, and everything has been arranged." In order to avenge his subordinates, didn't the horse butcher announce that the world wanted to break Luoyang and leave no chickens and dogs? Hey, hey, that's good, I'll help him fulfill his wish. ”

"Big ...... Eldest brother. Guan Yu was confused when he heard this, and asked in a loud voice, "You...... What are you talking about? ”

Liu Bei slowly turned his head, stared at Guan Yu deeply, and said: "Second brother, you don't have to know what's going on, let alone ask, there is only one thing you have to do now, that is, immediately follow your brother into the palace to see the driver, take the son and the jade seal out of Luoyang today, and go to Xuzhou to join Lord Tao Qian." ”

"What...... What the? Guan Yu was shocked and said inexplicably, "Took the Son of Heaven and the Jade Seal and went to Xuzhou to join Lord Tao Qian?" ”

"That's right! Now Luoyang is no longer safe, and the Son of Heaven must not fall into the hands of the horse butcher! Looking at the world, only Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian really cares about the Han family and is a true loyal minister. Liu Bei said this, and said in a deep voice, "After protecting the Son of Heaven out of Luoyang, don't look back, no matter what happens in Luoyang, don't look back, and remember it." ”

Guan Yu hurriedly said: "What about you, big brother?" ”

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The eldest brother has his own clever plan, and he will come to Xuzhou soon to reunite with the second brother and the Son of Heaven." ”

"Big brother!" Guan Yu pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't rest assured, shook his head and said, "If you want to go together, you have to stay together, and the little brother will never go alone." ”

"Second brother!" Liu Bei lowered his face and said solemnly, "The stakes are very high, and don't be rash." ”

Guan Yu's heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big brother! ”

……

Yanzhou.

Lu Bu turned his horse, his eyes showed strong unwillingness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! Damn thief, I swear to you! ”

Chen Gong sighed and said: "Lord, the Cao army is huge, our army is difficult to resist, and now there is no other way, but to go to Xuzhou first to join Lord Tao Qian, Lord Tao Qian is known as benevolence and righteousness, and must be willing to take in the lord." ”

General Zhang Liao also persuaded: "Yes, lord, let's go to Xuzhou first." ”

Lu Bu looked back at behind him, and there were less than three thousand left in the old department of Eight Thousand and Prefecture at this time, so he had to sigh and say gloomily: "Okay, let's go to Xuzhou for the time being." ”

……

Luoyang, the queen mother's dormitory.

Liu Bei was alone, and entered the palace gate step by step.

"Quack quack...... Rumble. ”

With a piercing creak, the heavy palace door slammed shut.

The figure was in a trance, and the two eunuchs who closed the door also disappeared into the deep corridor in the palace, Liu Bei slowly turned around, only to see that the forbidden palace was deep and the way to come was extinct, and a terrifying cold color quietly bloomed at the corner of Liu Bei's mouth.

In the chaotic footsteps, Wang Yun, Cai Yong, Liu Hong and others rushed out.

Liu Bei smiled coldly and said gloomily: "Ladies and gentlemen...... I've been waiting for a long time, right? ”

A trace of guilt flashed across Wang Yun's face, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "Lord Liu Bei, you are finally here." ”

"If I don't come...... the smile on the corner of Liu Bei's mouth suddenly became extremely cold, and then said, "How can you adults go on the road with peace of mind?" ”

(To be continued)
