Liu Bei's three brothers entered the pass with great ambitions, destroyed Hu Zhen, incorporated a large number of Xiliang soldiers, and saved Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and was named "Uncle Huang", for a time, Liu Bei was out of the limelight and became a rookie in the eyes of the princes of the world.

The good times didn't last long, before Liu Bei finished his addiction to "Uncle Huang", first the grain and grass were robbed by a group of rogues of unknown origin, and then they were instigated by Li Su and Guo Yan, and Lu Bu grabbed food, as a result, the battle was defeated in succession, 20,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out by Lu Bu, and the three brothers were even more embarrassed and fled for their lives.

That night, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei ran wildly for nearly a hundred miles before they got rid of the chasing soldiers behind them, and they were as desolate as lost dogs.

Thinking that he was proud to enter the Guanzhong, seeing that the great cause could be accomplished, but he didn't want to be crushed by Lu Bu, Liu Bei's heart was sulking, it was not uncomfortable, dozens of times, Liu Bei was almost angry.

This time, even the hard-earned family funds have been lost, Liu Bei's mood can be imagined how bad it is, Zhang Fei was sullen all the way, and Guan Yu was like a frosted eggplant, listless.

"Big brother, what should we do next?" Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei had not spoken, so he had no choice but to ask.

In fact, the three of them should now be said to be homeless, since Liu Bei decided to march into Guanzhong, Gongsun Zan sent someone to take over the plain, which is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the three of them, and now the battle is defeated, and all the soldiers who came over with five thousand dead hearts were killed, and the three of them have no face to go back.

After running for a long time, Zhang Fei felt hungry, so uncomfortable, and his black face was screwed together.

"The world is so big, but there is no place for my three brothers!" Liu Bei said melancholy, this battle was lost, and there was no room to turn over, and the blow to him was too great.

But he Liu Bei will not admit defeat so easily, he will not bow to fate, he will definitely rise! When that day comes, I will destroy all the princes of the world, including you, Lu Bu.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui gathered a large army in martial arts, just wait for the beginning of spring, and then attack Longxi on a large scale, and then we will definitely be able to eliminate Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, we might as well go to them, with my current identity, they will definitely welcome it!" Liu Bei said with confidence.

"The eldest brother is reasonable, with the help of Ma Han, he will destroy Lu Bu to avenge today's revenge!" Guan Yu said lightly.

"However, martial arts are still far away, should we fill our stomachs first, eldest brother, second brother, I'm so hungry!" Zhang Fei scratched his head, revealing a hint of shame.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu: "······"

Lu Bu and Pang De joined forces, and more than a thousand wolves rode with a large number of baggage, walking mightily on the road to Longxi.

"Big brother, according to the results of the preliminary inventory, the grain and grass we got this time is only enough for the soldiers to eat for a month."

Hou Cheng informed Lu Bu of the data obtained from the inventory.

Lu Bu sighed in his heart, according to the plan, he would reorganize Xu Rong and Dong Yue's Xiliang army, otherwise with his current strength, it would be impossible to compete with Ma Han's army of more than 100,000.

Now the situation he is in can be said to be precarious, and it is not a long-term solution to stay in Longxi, which is desolate, sparsely populated, and barren, and cannot be developed for him at all.

Looking at the current Guanzhong, it is quite depressed, and it cannot be compared with the Guanzhong in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, even if he occupies the entire Guanzhong, but it is impossible to provide him with a steady stream of materials and troops to support him to dominate the world.

Only by conspiring against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, as Jia Xu said, and then annexing Liu Zhang, who was in Xichuan, could he obtain huge resources and provide a foundation for the struggle for world domination.

Compared with the beacon fire in the Central Plains, the people in the land of Sichuan and Shu live very comfortably.

Liu Bei got Sichuan Shu, he could have done a lot, but because he insisted on going his own way, the attack on Eastern Wu was defeated, and the elite of Sichuan and Shu was exhausted, so that the later Sichuan and Shu collapsed, and Zhuge Liang was eager to repay Liu Bei's love for being alone, and went north out of Qishan several times, not giving Sichuan Shu enough time to recuperate, and when Jiang Wei took power, Xishu was already destitute, how could he still have the strength to fight Wei!

Regardless of history, Lu Bu's heart was depressed.

Grain and grass can only last for a month, which means that you must get grain and grass from other places, otherwise, you can only obediently wait for Ma Han to capture himself and the state army.

Longxi is barren, and it is impossible to get grain and grass, even if there is, I am afraid that it will be robbed by Xu Rong and Dong Yue, so I still have to wait for myself.

"Where did you get your boy's broadsword?"

"General Hui, when I was chasing the enemy that day, I accidentally found it from the battlefield, when this knife went deep into the ground, and I pulled it out with several brothers!"

"Take it and I'll see!"

Hou Cheng took the big knife from a cavalryman beside him, it was Guan Yu's Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, that day Lu Bu chased Liu Bei in a hurry, ignoring the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife inserted in the ground, and was picked up by the wolf rider who followed behind.

"Big brother, isn't this the red-faced big knife? Ha Luha, this time that red face lost a lot! Hou Cheng was very proud.

When Lu Bu heard this, he came back to his senses and saw Hou Cheng holding Guan Yu's big knife, with a proud face, and said in his heart, Guan Yu has no Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, just like a tiger without its claws, this battle, presumably Guan Yu's arrogance has been wiped out by me.

"It's a good knife!"

Pang De, who was walking in front, heard Hou Cheng speak, slowed down his pace, and when he saw the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, his eyes shot fiercely, and then a greedy look was revealed.

The blade is made of dark iron, and it exudes a sharp aura, which is very suitable for battlefield fighting.

Hou Cheng brandished the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife and slashed several times in mid-air, exclaiming: "No wonder Guan Yu is so powerful, he can slash Huaxiong with one sword, and it has something to do with this knife!" ”

"Can you lend me a look?" Pang De looked at the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, his eyes straightened.

"Then go ahead." Although Hou Cheng has an opinion on Pang De, it is not easy to refuse, besides, Lu Bu is on the side, if he refuses, wouldn't he not give Lu Bu face, Pang De was recruited by Lu Bu.

Pang De took the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, his hand sank suddenly, and his heart said, it's so heavy. Frowning, Pang De also held the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife and played a few tricks, and he suddenly couldn't put it down.

Lu Bu saw that Pang De was so fond of the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, so he said to the wolf rider who found the knife: "I will exchange this knife with you for ten gold, are you willing?" ”

"Ten gold! Willing! The wolf rider was almost overjoyed when he heard that Lu Bu actually bought this knife for ten gold, and hurriedly agreed, even if Lu Bu didn't exchange it for gold, and asked him directly for it, he didn't dare to say a word.

Hou Cheng was puzzled, "Big brother, you also like this knife?" Didn't you have the Fang Tian Painting Halberd? He also loves this knife, if Lu Bu doesn't want it, he will definitely want it.

"Ling Ming, I'll give you this knife!" Lu Bu said with a smile.

"What? Give me this knife? Pound was stunned by the sudden happiness.

Hou Cheng was suddenly a little dissatisfied, Lu Bu actually gave this knife to Pang De, he also liked it, can't the eldest brother see it?

"Of course." Lu Bu smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for the sword!" Pound hurriedly clenched his fists, if it weren't for the fact that he was marching now, everyone was riding on horses, and Pound would definitely kneel on the ground excitedly to show his loyalty.

"When this knife is in Ling Ming's hand, it will definitely shine."

Pang De got the Glaive Blue Dragon Knife, and happily ran to the side to admire it alone.

At this time, Longxi became a three-legged trend, Xu Rong led 15,000 Xiliang soldiers stationed in Tianshui County, Dong Yue led 30,000 Xiliang soldiers to defend Fengxiang, and Jia Xu led the state army to retreat to Xining.

The three parties were originally one family, but because Ma Han defeated Dong Zhuo's main force in martial arts, he had the potential to wave the army in Longxi, and for a while, it shrouded Longxi with a layer of darkness, which made Xu Rong and Dong Yue's army panic.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were arrested by Lu Bu, originally wanting to use Dong Zhuo to control Xu Rong and Dong Yue, but Xu Rong and Dong Yue didn't eat at all.

The situation is already very clear, there is a shortage of food and grass, people's hearts are fluctuating, and there is a huge disparity in troops, and in such a situation, it is almost impossible to counterattack and win against Ma Han.

Xu Rong has secretly sent a signal of surrender, and is ready to wait until the beginning of spring, and then return to Mahan to seek his own safety.

Dong Yue also has the intention of surrendering, but he will not surrender Ma Han, he is Dong Zhuo's relative, if he leads the crowd to surrender Ma Han, he will definitely be unable to escape death, it just so happens that Longxi is backed by Hanzhong, if he surrenders to Zhang Lu and hides in Hanzhong, Ma Han will not be able to help him.

Xining City.

Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others came to the outside of the city early, and they had already received a notice from Lu Bu to send someone back in advance, and he would arrive in Xining today.

Regarding the matter of Chang'an, Jia Xu and others have also learned that Li Su and Guo Yan broke through Chang'an, Wang Yun was burned to death, Lu Bu also rescued his family, and most importantly, Lu Bu captured Liu Xie.

Jia Xu naturally understands the value of Liu Xie, although the current Liu Xie is just an emperor with the title of the Son of Heaven, but this title, as long as it is managed well, is still very useful.

"Big brother! (Lord)" Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and others were all pleasantly surprised when they saw Lu Bu in the dust, and they rushed up to hug Lu Bu.

"Strategist, in this operation, the problem of food and grass has not been fundamentally solved!" Lu Bu hurriedly threw this question that had been bothering him to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, and gently tugged at his sparse goatee, "How long is the grain and grass enough for us to support?" ”

"A month."

"A month, it's really troublesome."

"Trouble? In this way, the military advisor has an idea. Lu Bu was a little happy, as long as this problem could be solved, he would have the confidence to subdue Xu Rong and Dong Yue, and then fight Ma Han to the death.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, "Lord, you also think too highly of me, this idea is said to be there, in fact, one month is still relatively sufficient for us, judging from the information sent back from the front, Ma Han should attack Longxi, it should be another month." So, as long as we find more grain and grass in this month, we can do it. ”
