~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Liu Bei was leading the army to fight with Yuan Shu in Guangling, he was stabbed by Lu Bu again and fell from the throne of Xuzhou Mu. Why say "again"? Think about what happened to Cao Cao before, is it very similar to Liu Bei? The same is to fight on the front line, and the same is to be "set on fire in the backyard" by Lu Bu to seize the foundation. The difference is that Cao Cao had already achieved the climate at that time, and he relied on his own strength to return to the situation little by little and regain control of the overall situation. And Liu Bei has only been in charge of Xuzhou for more than a year, and the interior has not yet been straightened out, so he was overwhelmed by a strong enemy like Yuan Shu, and then he was blown up by Lu Bu, and almost fell into a state of no return.

In the dilemma of having wolves in front and tigers in the back, the three Liu Bei brothers led more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers and were sandwiched between Guangling Huaiyin and Xiapi in the small county of Haixi, struggling to survive. No money, no food, no soldiers, no hope...... It is a portrayal of the tragic days of Liu Bei's three brothers, and it was during this period that the soldiers and officials under their command killed each other and ate flesh-eating people.

This was the most critical and miserable time in Liu Bei's life, and it was even worse than the danger of Chibi a few years later.

Historically, it was the Mi brothers who reached out in time to help, gave food to the soldiers, and sent 2,000 guests and tens of thousands of Hu Gu at one time to help Liu Bei tide over the difficulties and recover his vitality - but this time there was no such good luck.

Liu Bei was cheeky and sent a request to the Mi family and the Chen family. Seeing that Liu Bei was so miserable, Chen Qi's father and son were already disappointed, and instead put their hopes on Ma Han, the rising star of Luoyang, and refused on the grounds that all the food of the soldiers in Xiapi was under the supervision of Lu Bu. And the Mi brothers still miss the old friendship, and transported Qianhu grain rice to Haixi by sea ship, which can be regarded as saving the group of hungry and green-eyed people from the miserable situation of Ru Mao drinking blood. However, there are no reinforcements, money and food.

Of course, Liu Bei is not a person waiting to be killed. After breathing a sigh of relief, he surrendered to Lu Bu.

Although it is the same as history in the surrender of Lu Bu, the outcome is different due to the lack of strength. Due to the lack of food support from the Mi brothers, Liu Bei's vitality was greatly damaged, and there were only seven or eight hundred soldiers left under his command, barely enough for one battalion. Therefore, as in history, he was not appointed by Lu Bu as the assassin of Yuzhou and stationed in Xiaopei. Resist Cao Cao (just such a person, purely to deliver food), but use it as another department to face Yuan Shu together.

Well, compared to Cao Cao, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang wanted to beat Yuan Shu more, if it weren't for Yuan Shu, they wouldn't have fallen to this point. So from this point of view, they and Lu Bu are the same enemy.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. In the battle of Huainan in history, Lu Buzheng was able to defeat Yuan Shu's army because of the help of Yang Feng and Han Xian, who defected from the battle. And in this time and space, because these two have long been cleaned up by Ma Han. Lu Bu lost the biggest chance to win, but joined Liu Guanzhang, which changed the situation again, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Ma Han didn't pay attention to who won and who lost in this battle of Huainan that he had inadvertently changed. There is only one thing he cares about: how to get out his three thousand Danyang soldiers.

"I need Ji Ling's information on this journey, the more detailed the better." Ma Han finally gave instructions to the Mi brothers.

"Whoa!" Mi Zhu and Mi Fang stood up and bowed together.

……

In the spring of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu's seven-way army. Crossing the Huaishui and forcing the next Pi. Lu Bu garrisoned on the north bank of Surabaya, forming a horn with Xiapi City, like a hungry tiger forced to the precipice, bowing his fangs and trying to fight.

In February, Ji Ling's army first arrived on the south bank of Surabaya, and a few days later, the banner of Lei Bo's army was also issued in Suiling, which was less than 100 miles away from Xiapi.

It was at this moment that the battle broke out. However, the first battle did not take place between Lu Bu and Ji Ling, who faced off across the river, but between Wu Jing and Liu Bei, the Guangling Taishou appointed by Yuan Shu.

Wu Jing is not very famous, but his identity is not small, he is Sun Jian's brother-in-law, Sun Ce, Sun Quan's uncle, that is, Wu Guotai's brother. After Sun Jian's death, his old department has been protected by Wu Jing, among which there are many future famous Jiangdong generals, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zu Mao and others. However, at this time, Wu Jing had already lobbied Yuan Shu to return all the seeds of these famous generals to his nephew Sun Ce to help him succeed, and he could no longer produce any decent generals under his own command.

Wu Jing set out from Guangling with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and after arriving in Huaiyin, he requisitioned some ships to carry baggage, and the army went up Surabaya. In order to prevent the surprise attack of Lu Bu's army, Wu Jing's soldiers and horses went to the west bank of Surabaya. At first, it was fine, but I never expected that when the army marched to the confluence of Suishui and Surabaya, Wu Jingjun was crossing the river when he was suddenly attacked from the flank.

The attacker was none other than Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had already set his sights on Wu Jing's army early in the morning, and at this time, Wu Jing didn't know that Liu Bei had surrendered to Lu Bu, so he was unprepared.

Liu Bei was like a poor and crazy guy at this time, his eyes were red when he saw Wu Jing's baggage boats on the river, and he would fight for his life without Lu Bu's order.

Due to the lack of troops, Liu Bei could only and had to choose to attack, he was like a hungry wolf, following Wu Jing, a fat cow, all the way to the next minister. When Wu Jingjun crossed the river, Liu Bei knew that the opportunity had come.

Wu Jingjun had just crossed halfway, and the forward was assembled on the opposite bank to prevent the enemy from attacking and harassing, but no one expected that the attack would come from the flank.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, each with 200 foot soldiers, launched a surprise attack on the army of Wu Jingdian, who had not yet crossed the river. Wu Jingjun was caught off guard, fell into a panic, and was instantly rushed to pieces. Zhang Fei, the evil god, in this chaotic battle, is like a crocodile entering a pool, fierce and abnormal, with a spear like the wind, and he is clothed in all directions. In just a moment, he broke through the enemy army and rushed to Wu Jing's Chinese army, if it weren't for Wu Jing's subordinates sacrificing their lives to resist and win the gap for Wu Jing to jump and escape, this future Uncle Wu would have to fold here.

When Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led a group of soldiers who had eaten human flesh to kill Wu Jing and fled by jumping into the river, Guan Yu led more than 100 soldiers to storm the transport ship by the river. Most of the transport ships are pawns and shipwrights, where are these wolf-like fierce opponents. For a time, people were like falling stones, and the river was dyed. With the exquisiteness of Guan Yu's knife method, cutting people is like solving an ox, and two big knives have been cut alive.

The Chinese army and the rear army were annihilated, the main general was missing, and the more than 1,000 Yuan troops scattered in a hurry and ran away.

Zhang Fei is still not addicted to killing. I was trying to get more than a dozen boats to grab the ferry and land on the shore to kill Yuan's army, but I didn't expect that the army of thousands of people would disperse. For a while, the leopard's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't react.

Liu Bei was not surprised at all, he walked over with a bloody halberd, and said with a smile: "When the elder brother and the second brother fought Yuan Shu in Guangling that day, the third brother was staying in Xiapi, so I don't know that this Yuan Shu's army is tens of thousands. But there are very few regular soldiers, and only two or three percent of the main soldiers are a thousand people in Mali, and the rest are mostly strong recruits, with no training, and even fewer battles. Therefore, he dared to attack Wu Jing with only 500 soldiers and 3,000 men. ”

Zhang Fei took a sip: "This bird breath has been held for too long, and it has only been slashed for less than half an hour, and Wu Jing has been allowed to run away." It's really not fun...... How is the second brother there? ”

Sun Qian smiled and pointed to Hedong: "Well, the second general is sharpening his knife on the shore......

……

Ji Ling soon discovered that it was not a good thing to run too fast, and he thought that the seven-way army was coming. Lu Bu couldn't escape. I didn't expect to depart at the same time, but the arrival time was very different. He and Lei Bo arrived one after the other, and the rest of the Fifth Route Army didn't even see a shadow. A few days later, there was news that Wu Jingna had been defeated all the way.

Ji Ling didn't quite believe it at first. But with the appearance of Liu Beijun, who was fully loaded with capture, the banner of Wu Jingjun was preached, and a large number of transport ships on the river. There is also a long list of captives, all of which prove one point - Yuan Shu now only has a six-way army.

At this moment, Ji Ling and Lei Bo were a little nervous.

Liu Bei set up a large camp on the east side of the north bank of Surabaya, and formed a zigzag shape with the camps of Xiapi and LΓΌ Bu. At the same time, he presented the captured banners and some of the money and grain captives to Lu Bu, which was greatly appreciated by Lu Bu and invited him to celebrate with the camp.

So Liu Bei left Zhang Fei, who had a deep grudge against Lu Bu, to guard the camp, and led a team of servants to the meeting with Guan Yu.

Since he learned that he had folded all the way to the army, Ji Ling was in a very bad mood, standing on the south bank of Surabaya all day long, looking at the two large camps in the east and west, calculating how to attack. He is a general in Yuan Shu's army who has dealt with Liu Bei a lot, and he knows that this person is very difficult to deal with, and his two sworn brothers are even more enemies, and it is difficult to match.

In the middle of the struggle, Youhu looked at it and said: "Liu Bei's camp door is wide open, and a team of people comes out...... Ben Lu Bu barracks went. ”

Ji Ling also saw it, but he just said lightly: "It must be Lu Bu who invited Liu Bei to celebrate the camp, and he always has to be rewarded for his work all the way." ”

The group of men and horses on the other side of the river had just entered the Lu Bu military camp, but they saw three horsemen appear from the mountain col in the north, and went straight to the Lu Bu camp without a banner.

Ji Ling and Hu Congju sighed: "Where did these three horses run from?" What is the intention? ”

At this time, Lu Bu, who was feasting Liu Bei's brothers with the generals in the big tent, was eating bloodshot mutton, and after sitting on the case, he squinted his eyes, released his threat, and asked the same question: "Where did you come from?" What is the intention? ”

There were three people in the middle of the big tent, and there were halberd-wielding armorers on the left and right behind them, eyeing them fiercely.

The person at the head, tall and tall, with broad shoulders and a large body, faced the coercion of the tiger in the world, but his face was not pale, and he calmly bowed his hand: "A certain Chen to Chen Shuzhi, on behalf of the lord, he will present a thing to the general, and convey a word - please suspend the attack on Ji Lingjun within three days." ”

As he spoke, a slender package had already been handed to Lu Bu, and the Tao was found from this person.

As soon as Chen said this, the pot suddenly exploded in the tent.

Gao Shun lowered his face: "Who is the head of your family?" Dare to speak to the general like this. ”

Wei Xu jumped up even more, put the meat cleaver on the case against Chen Zhi's neck, and said with a cruel smile: "I'm not afraid to sue you - you're about to die anyway." The general has already made a plan, and tomorrow the two armies will attack together to break Ji Ling first! What kind of thing is your lord, dare to ask my general to postpone the war! ”

Wei Xu's hand holding the knife tightened, and the tip of the blade pierced the skin, and a trace of blood meandered down.

Chen Zhi didn't even move half of his eyebrows, and he didn't look at Wei Xu, staring straight at Lu Bu.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu glanced at each other and nodded slightly: "Good man, if you can accept this heroic man as a servant, his master must not be an idle person." ”

Being despised by Chen, coupled with Liu Bei's evaluation, made Wei Xu angry and ashamed, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, and the wrist holding the knife tightened, and he wanted to move-

And Chen Zhi also seemed to be aware of it, and his drooping hands clenched suddenly......

At this critical juncture, Lu Bu suddenly heard a loud laugh: "Hahahaha!" It turned out to be him! ”

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and their eyes were all surprisedβ€”what Lu Bu was holding in his hand was actually a black and shiny iron arrow! (To be continued......)
