The land of Shenzhou is still in chaos, if there is that saint flying in the sky and looking down, it can be seen that the fighting in the north is still going on, and the beacon fire in the south is also burning. Only the Central Plains area, because of the previous flood, is exceptionally clean and deserted. In this clean land, a convoy of hundreds of people slowly moved forward like a long colored worm.

More than 200 Taishan soldiers in front and behind, these elite soldiers who have been baptized by blood and fire, their faces are cold, although they are holding guns and halberds on foot, but the steps are brisk, because of the synchronization of hundreds of people's movements, the very light footsteps are like thunder, knocking down on the ground, and like a heavy drumbeat, ringing in the ears, arousing the blood in the heart. There were more than a dozen horsemen scattered around, all of them with broken armor, and even the scars on the war horses under their crotch could be seen. Cavalry is a class that needs numbers to be used for maximum effectiveness, and having lost too many of their companions, they seem lonely, lonely but still strong. Because they were once the strongest cavalry in the world, Lu Bu's exclusive class and the state wolf cavalry.

At the front of the convoy, Zhang Liao looked at these angry soldiers with the reins in his hand, and praised:

"What a thud!"

Behind him, Gao Shun and Chen Gong nodded in admiration, only Zang Ba led his brother with pride on his face. And Le Jin, who was dressed in cotton clothes and unarmed, was surrounded by a fierce general, and his face was pale.

Looking at the spacious road in front of him, he seemed to see the high-walled and rich Chang'an, the traffic in the city, and the glittering light of hope, and even seemed to breathe the air full of vitality, and he couldn't help but feel the spirit that he hadn't seen for a long time in his heart, like a new life.

In the middle of the convoy, three very simple but spacious carriages drove quietly.

The flood washed all night, and the supplies in Xiapi were as clean as the streets on the second day. Fortunately, there were still a few craftsmen in the city who survived by luck, and the carriage was never something that needed to be polished for a long time, especially when the owner's requirements were only spaciousness and sturdiness. As for the horses needed to pull the carts, there are many horses that have lost their owners forever and are left alive and sufficient.

Of the three carriages, the most spacious one was not occupied by people, but was stacked with valuables that Lu Bu had accumulated for a long time, of course, it was unknown whether these valuables were gold, silver, jewelry, or skeins and other commemorative items that Diao Chan gave him for the first time.

The second carriage was not very spacious, but it was the warmest and most comfortable, because on it lay Lu Bu, who had not recovered from his serious injuries. The flying general has difficulty moving, and he has a wife and concubine to serve, and he strokes Diao's slightly bulging pregnant belly every day, although his body is in pain, and his power is gone, but he feels a rare relaxed and comfortable day for decades.

The third carriage was simple and narrow, and a pair of brothers sat quietly on it. The senior brother sat cross-legged, his face was calm, Tai'a Jian rested on his knees, his upper body was straight, there were occasional potholes on the road, and the simple carriage was bumpy, but he couldn't let his body shake slightly, obviously trying to seize all the available time to practice diligently.

Compared with the diligence of the senior brother, the junior brother seems a little slack. He was leaning against the carriage, lifting the heavy curtain with his hand, looking at the scenery and slowly retreating, feeling bitter in his heart.

It's too slow...

Chang'an and Xiapi are tens of millions of miles apart.

When he came, his brother and sister traveled lightly, and it still took more than a month to set off from Wancheng, even if you subtract the ten days and a half months delayed by several accidents on the way, it will take 30 days to travel day and night. And now, dragged down by foot soldiers and carriages, how can the speed be more than doubled?

Moreover, at this turbulent time, if Cao Cao found a convoy of more than 200 elite soldiers swaggering past Puyang and Chenliu, not to mention sending heavy troops to encircle and suppress, he would also have to send scouts to investigate, which would mean potential big trouble.

Lin Li crossed his fingers and counted for a long time, and reluctantly came to the conclusion:

If they continue to advance in their current state, it may take two or three months just to run all the way through Cao Cao's army from top to bottom, ignoring their big goal.

Rushed out in November last year, and now the Lantern Festival has passed, there have been fears and ups and downs along the way, and now the dust has settled, Lin Li has felt deep exhaustion in his bones, he can't wait to return to Chang'an Mansion at this moment, he wants to know the information of several cities during this time, wants to know the minds of Huang Zhong, Pang De and others, and wants to see her.

Therefore, two months, which were not too long, seemed particularly long, and he could not accept it.

He put down the curtain and stood up, and was about to open his mouth to stop the carriage, when the curtain was lifted by a white and slender hand, and Lu Lingqi's small face came in from the outside, and she shouted at Lin Li with her eyebrows:

"Hey, we'll come back after dinner in a while!"

Lin Li suddenly sat down, wanting to cry without tears.

That day's competition turned into his crushing battle of words, although everyone finally recognized the result, but on the second day of everyone's return journey, Lu Lingqi euphemistically proposed a competition.

Lin Li looked at her slightly red face, looked at her slender waist and fingers, and her constantly spinning brain seemed to be down and accepted her request.

And then there was no doubt that there was a fiasco...

After three moves, Zhan Lujian was easily picked off, the crescent halberd stretched out to his throat, cold sweat appeared on Lin Li's forehead, he exhaled and inhaled deeply, he pushed the halberd away, and surrendered defeat.

Strictly speaking, this is not a big deal, because among the princes in these years, except for Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao (during the period of Emperor Ling, he could serve as the lieutenant of the eight lieutenants in the West Garden, which shows that the force value is not bad), Cao Cao (the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden), Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Ding Yuan, Zhang Yang, Yan Baihu, etc., the rest of the princes who accounted for the majority are not good at the force value, and can even be said to be weak, such as Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu...

No matter how self-comforting he was in his heart, being defeated by a young female doll was still a little ashamed and ashamed for Lin Li, who was a little macho, so when Lu Lingqi came to him to "discuss" when he had something to do, he still gritted his teeth and accepted it.

In the past ten days, he has made a little progress compared to the beginning, from the first three or five moves to seven or eight moves yesterday afternoon, which can be called a qualitative leap, but repeated defeats still seriously frustrated his self-confidence, and it has also become a nightmare for his return.

"This day must not be passed again!" Lin Li gritted his teeth.

Shi Ah was woken up by his embarrassment, covering his face and being ashamed.

...

After lunch, everyone was resting, Lin Li refused the request for "discussion", and asked Zhang Liao and other important people to come and board Lu Bu's love carriage together.

“... Probably like this, when he arrives at Xiaopei, Wen Hou can quietly enter the city and buy a clean mansion to recuperate from his injuries. As for the security issue, there is a Xiao general with 200 Taishan soldiers and more than a dozen wolf cavalry guards, Liu Bei has not returned, with the weak garrison force in the city, he can keep the Hou worry-free. As for Liu Bei's return, not to mention whether it is possible for him to search the city on a large scale, Yiwen Hou has recovered seventy or eighty percent of his martial arts, and he can't go anywhere in the world, let alone a small city. ”

Lin Li swallowed his saliva, looked at the people who were still a little surprised, and continued,

"Of course, I proposed parting ways because of three things. First, it is naturally because I can increase the speed of the march and return to Chang'an as soon as possible, so that I can prepare for the implementation of the plan in the future; Second, staying in Xiaopei to recuperate is indeed beneficial to Wen Hou's injuries; As for the third point..."

Lin Li looked at him earnestly and said:

"You don't know, I got acquainted with Wei Yan and Yan Xing on the way here, among which Yan Xing was seriously injured by Xiahou Yuan and was seriously injured under Xiaopei City, and Wei Yan had an affair with Mi Zhu's third sister and was unwilling to leave for a while, so I had the heart to let the two of them stay and be a nail, and in the future, Xiaopei can also have internal help. It's just that the two of them have been exposed, and I can't directly leave soldiers and horses to help, if Wenhou is also in the city, he can be an ambush soldier and help each other. ”

Lu Bu smiled:

"Now we are all young generals under Lin Gong's account, Lin Gong has orders, how dare Bu disobey? Besides, if a certain stays in Xiaopei, it is indeed a matter of killing three birds with one stone, Lin Gong doesn't know that Cicada is already pregnant, and it is better to rest in the city than to be tired. ”

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Li smiled and said:

"May Wen Hou give birth to Lin'er and crisscross the battlefield."

He glanced around and deliberated:

"Since Wen Hou agreed to stay, we will discuss the personnel arrangement. Xuan Gao and go to Chang'an with me, and then train a brave and invincible Taishan soldier. ”

Zang Ba bowed down to receive the order, knowing that this was the lord's promise that he would lead an army by himself.

Gao Shun was moved when he heard the words, glanced at Lu Bu, and his square face showed no mood fluctuations, and said:

"I would like to go to Chang'an first."

Lin Li was a little strange, and said in his heart why this diehard Lu Bu didn't want to leave a personal guard, but when he saw General Gao Meng looking at Zang Ba, there was a trace of envy and longing in his eyes, and a trace of itching, his heart moved, and he said with a smile:

"I have heard the prestige of the Eight Hundred Battles, and the fierce generals (ahhh

Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard this.

Lu Lingqi shouted:

"I'm going to Chang'an first!"

Lin Li's heart beat like a drum, and he said gently:

"As a child, be filial and obedient, now Wen Hou is seriously injured and needs someone to take care of him, who will you leave behind?"

Lu Lingqi was shocked when she heard this, and said:

"But I haven't been to Chang'an City, they all say that Chang'an is good, but I don't know what kind of good, I've been longing for a long time."

Without waiting for Lin Li to open his mouth and persuade again, Zhang Liao pointed to Chen Gong and said with a smile:

"Just let me and the military advisor stay and take care of it."

Lin Li was a little regretful, but he knew that just from the perspective of the people in the carriage, the only candidate who could achieve his goal of ambushing Xiaopei was Zhang Liao, who was brave and resourceful, and if Chen Gong stayed, it would be the icing on the cake, with Chen Gongtai, it was enough to crush the intelligence of Liu Bei's current camp, and with the bravery of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Yan Xing, it could be called impeccable.

But... He really likes Zhang Liao (you can see the cries at the end of the first chapter), of course, I hope to be able to get close to this general.

Lin Li put away his regret and said decisively:

"You can arrive at Xiaopei tomorrow, when you can change your clothes and enter the city in batches, but please not attract a trace of attention, after entering the city, go straight to the city lord's mansion, accompanied by Taishan soldiers, enough to prove. In the future, Liu Bei will be broken, and you will be the first to make the first contribution! ”
