Chapter 42: Strange (II)
Originally, Lu Fang was leading people to look for the traces of Liu Chuang and others on the east bank of Shushui, but he was also surprised when he heard that Xiangben's granary was attacked. Although there is not much grain and grass that has been burned, the hidden news inside is worrying. Is it a good thing that Lu Bu did? At this time, Lu Bu suddenly attacked the granary, undoubtedly sending a signal: he is likely to join forces with Yuan Shu!
If this is the case, Liu Yuanjun will be attacked on his back......
In this case, Elfang did not dare to assert himself.
On the one hand, he led his troops to withdraw to the west bank of Shushui and rushed to Xiangben to check; On the other hand, he rushed to Qu County with 600 miles of expedited starry nights, and passed through Elk.
It's too big, too big for him to control. This matter must be reported to SΓΉ Elk Zhu and asked him to make a decision!
At least Elfang herself didn't have the guts to take on such a huge responsibility......
Of course, he can't withdraw all the soldiers on the east coast, and he must leave some people behind to continue to search for Liu Chuang's whereabouts.
But what's the use of that?
After he led his troops to withdraw to the west bank, the soldiers and horses on the east bank were sharply reduced, and the net of heaven and earth laid before was useless, and there were flaws everywhere along the Shushui. At noon the next day, when Lu Fang led his troops back to Tan County, Liu Chuang crossed Shushui again at a ferry port downstream from Shushui, and then followed the ancestral water, quickly marched towards Haixi, and was sure to reach Haixi before Lu Zhu woke up.
According to Liu Chuang's calculations, Lu Zhu is not such an easily fooled person.
Maybe he will be a little flustered at first, but he will soon react, and at that time, he will definitely concentrate his forces and frantically encircle and suppress Liu Chuang.
Time is of the essence, and the sooner you arrive in Haixi, you can reduce some of the dangers.
However, a day passed.
Liu Chuang found that Lu Zhu did not move.
It's not scientific! Could it be that such a simple siege of Wei to save Zhao made Lu Zhu fooled? Liu Chuang was very puzzled in his heart, but he did not slow down and continued to march towards the western part of the strait. That night, people were sleepy and tired, and Liu Chuang ordered to find a place to rest.
"By tomorrow evening at the latest, we can enter Haixi's rule."
Guan Hai let out a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Chuang and said, "At this time, I think Lao Huang has already connected with that sea loach. As long as the sea loach boat can reach the end on time, we will be completely safe. Although the old loach was cunning, his virtue was not bad. β
Sea loach, it is Xuezhou.
Every time Guan Hai mentioned Xue Zhou, he would show disdain.
Liu Chuang even thinks that there may still be some contradictions between Guan Hai and Xue Zhou. You never met with Xue Zhou, and Xue Zhou never ignored Guan Hai. On the other hand, the two may have never met, but they are both 36 road commanders, and there is no competition between them. Therefore, no one obeys anyone, no one pays attention to anyone, and it has been stalemate until now.
"How far is it from Dunqiu to the beach that Lao Huang said?"
"About a day."
"So we'll not be able to arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest?"
Guan Hai thought for a while, nodded and said, "If you follow the rules, you can go overnight tomorrow night, and before noon the day after tomorrow, you can reach that beach." β
A day and a half!
Liu Chuang rubbed his fingers, then got up and walked to the side of the carriage.
Elk and Little Douzi have been staying together, and after a few days of running, although she didn't say anything, she could see that she was very tired.
Xiaodouzi is also very hard, but she still does her duty dutifully.
Putting the boiled porridge into a bowl, she carefully handed it to the elk, "Miss, let's eat something." β
"I'm not hungry."
Although Elk Jin is not the kind of lady who is dressed and fed, she has never tasted such hard work since she was a child, under the care of her father and brother? Running along the way, cautious and fearful. Although she rode in the carriage, she would still feel tired after this bump.
"Eat some."
His voice changed suddenly, and Lu Qian hurriedly turned around, and saw Liu Chuang holding a bowl in one hand, stirring with a wooden spoon in the other, and then holding a spoonful and handing it to Lu Jin's mouth, "It's been really hard for you in the past two days...... You can't do it without eating. This is just the beginning, from now until we arrive in Yingchuan, and it is even possible that after we arrive in Yingchuan, we may not be able to settle down immediately...... If you don't have enough to eat, how can you run with me? Nothing else counts, this is not a trivial matter that burns my body. β
Elk's face turned red all of a sudden, and he looked at Xiaodouzi viciously.
It's just that Xiaodouzi has already run away, but that little face is red......
"I don't want you to feed me, I can eat it myself."
Lu Jin was full of shyness and wanted to take the bowl from Liu Chuang's hand. But Liu Chuang didn't let go, and stubbornly handed the wooden spoon to her mouth.
"I have been running with me for thousands of miles, and it is hard to be tight.
Let me feed you this bowl of porridge, and Quan Zuo will thank you for your trust in me. The past two days have been very hard, and some words have not had a chance to be said. I saw your letter...... I also have nine words and a rhyme, you will bear me, and I will not live up to you. Well, open your mouth. β
These few words, which are not particularly tender and sweet, are extremely sweet in the ears of the elk.
At the thought of abandoning his family and following Liu Chuang like this, Elk's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled in his eyes. But the sweetness and satisfaction in her heart made her feel extremely happy. Even if it's hard and dangerous, it's worth it.
Open your mouth and drink the porridge water.
Liu Chuang's face once again appeared with a simple smile that was very familiar to Elk.
Looking at this scene from a distance, he couldn't help but pout, and Guan Hai, who was pantothenic in his heart, couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Da Liu, Meng Yan's trick, you taught it?" β
Liu Yong originally had a smile on his face, thinking in his heart: Looking at this, the old Liu family will inevitably be prosperous in the future.
But Guan Hai's words made his face sink suddenly.
"Children's situation, what are you lying here to watch?"
"Aren't you watching too...... Well okay, when I didn't say anything.
I'm most afraid that you will show that black face, and it will sink so much that it will scare you to death. I guess this trick won't be taught by you, you are such a rigid guy, I guess you haven't touched a woman's hand until now...... Hehe, Da Liu, tell me, have you slept with a woman? β
Liu Yong's face turned purple, he glared at Guan Hai, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and spit out a word: "Get out!" β
"Hahaha, sure enough, I said it...... Okay okay, I'll get out, I'm not going to say anything.
You're a martial idiot, how can you be interested in women? But I tell you, this woman is a different story, and you're going to have slept with it...... I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll now. Hahaha......"
Guan Hai clutched his stomach, laughed and ran away.
Liu Yong looked at Guan Hai's back, shook his head helplessly, and showed a wry smile.
There was a hint of warmth in those eyes, which were always full of indifference. He tilted his head, not knowing what to think. But after a moment, he shook his head again.
"Woman, ......"
He muttered to himself, and laid the iron-spine spear across his lap, his fingers rubbing over the spear as if it were a lover's skin.
In the middle of the night, he closed his eyes and crossed his knees and pretended to sleep!
Moose was already asleep.
She and Little Bean were in the carriage, snoring evenly.
Liu Chuang leaned on the wheel, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, breathing according to the ancestral technique of breathing, adjusting his spirit and restoring his energy.
In the middle of nowhere, very quiet.
The call of an owl could be heard in the distance, looming, adding a sense of peace to the tranquility.
When the moon was in the sky, Liu Chuang seemed to be asleep.
The sound of hooves came from afar, waking him up from his trance.
Liu Chuang stood up suddenly, picked up the coiling dragon stick from the carriage, and showed a vigilant look on his face.
"It's a servile heart."
When Liu Chuang walked to Guan Hai's side, he listened to Guan Hai say softly.
After a while, the two horses arrived in front of the camp, Pei Wei and Li Lun turned over and dismounted, and then took down a person from Pei Wei's horse, "Give me a good look at this guy." β
Pei Wei commanded, and the brothers Zhang Cheng and Zhang Chao had already stepped forward and firmly pressed the person who had woken up and wanted to struggle to the ground.
"Childe, Qu Shuai, when I was just on patrol, I met this person, who was a messenger from Siwu County.
He said that the night before yesterday, LΓΌ Bu led his troops to attack Xiapi, and Zhang Fei was driven out of Xiapi and had retreated to Siwu. Zhang Fei had sent a messenger to order all counties in Donghai County to immediately reinforce and prepare to recapture Xiapi. But in this matter, I always feel mysterious, Lu Bu really took the next Pi? β
When Liu Chuang heard this, he was beaten hard, and suddenly had an urge to slap himself......
Fuck, forget about it!
