The enemy army has reached Xiapi City again!!

Poor Xiapi City has become a shame for the county, and in just three years, it is the third time that different armies have come to the city.

As early as when Tao Qian was the pastor of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu sent troops to crusade. Tao Qian was defeated by Yuan Shu, so he had to cede Xiapi County to Yuan Shu in exchange for Yuan Shu's retreat.

Later, Ji Ling invaded Xuzhou on a large scale, but the army was defeated, and Liu Bei recovered all the lost territory occupied by Tao Qian in one go, and Xiapi changed hands for the second time.

A few days ago, Guan Yu and Mi Fang jointly served as the vanguard, fought against Ji Lingjun, and Mi Fang unfortunately died in battle, Guan Yu was only spared, and the vanguard army was almost wiped out.

Ji Lingqi opened victoriously, morale was like a rainbow, and he broke through Guangling, Huailing, Xiaxiang and other places, and pushed the battle line to Xiapi City in one go.

It was only at this time that the defeated Liu Beijun regained his footing, blocking Ji Ling's edge in front of him.

Liu Bei's battle situation here is not optimistic, and Cao Cao's situation is similar.

Zhang Xun was like a hanger, and successively broke through Yunxian, Dingling, Wuyang and other places, and most of Yingchuan County fell, and even had the posture of entering Sili and other places in one go.

However, as the rumors spread, the offensive of the Zhong army suddenly stalled, giving Liu Bei and Cao Cao a chance to breathe.

Rumors of this kind of thing have always become more and more exaggerated. And the secret method of burning the national fortune is already a bit appalling, and with the spread of rumors, the final result is even more crooked.

For example, one of the most widely circulated theories now is that what Yuan Shu ignited was not a national fortune at all, but used the people of Zhongguo as sacrifices, and if he wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the current army, he must sacrifice 10,000 essence people to the demon god every day.

Because it was in a period of war at this time, the manpower was already frequently transferred, and under the impetus of some forces, Ding Zhuang, who was normally transferred, became a sacrifice to be sacrificed.

This led to turmoil in the hearts of the people in Zhongguo, and there were even more than a dozen civil rebellions. Although this rebellion was suppressed at the first time, it really affected the progress of the Zhong army.

The Zhong army has become stronger, but it is still a normal person, and it still needs logistics materials such as food, and the rebellion has caused the transportation of materials to be blocked, and the front line has to stop.

Of course, it is unknown how many shadows of Cao Cao and Liu Bei were in these rebellions.

On the lower Pi City, Liu Bei climbed the city wall and looked at the Zhongjun camp in the distance, with a bitter smile on his face.

After being displaced for so long, he finally had a state to live in, but he didn't expect that only half a year later, Yuan Shu would make a comeback, and the momentum was far from being comparable for the first time.

"Big brother...... cough cough cough ......"

Beside him, Guan Yu came up to take a look, and just opened his mouth to speak, followed by a light cough.

"Yun Chang, why are you here? It's windy up there, and you're still injured, so don't run around. ”

Liu Bei suddenly turned around, saw Guan Yu, hurriedly walked a few steps, helped Guan Yu up, and asked with some concern.

In the previous battle, Ji Ling's combat power far exceeded Guan Yu's expectations, causing Guan Yu to have to resort to the forbidden secret method to get out.

But since it is called the forbidden secret method, it naturally has side effects, as soon as the secret method time is over, Guan Yu will be counterattacked by the skill, and he will be directly hit hard, so don't think about going to the battlefield again in a short time.

"Big brother, it's all my fault, if I hadn't been too careless, Mi Fang wouldn't have died, and we wouldn't have lost so badly."

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, his eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and said.

"Alas, Yun Chang doesn't have to be like this, it's really that the enemy's strength is far beyond our expectations, and this battle is not Yun Chang's fault."

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Guan Yu up and comforted him softly.

"It doesn't matter if you're prepared, it's a pity that the people of Xuzhou have suffered two military disasters within a year, and this is all about preparation!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei's grief came to his heart, and he couldn't help but whimper.

"Lord!"

Seeing this, the surrounding subordinates immediately rushed forward, and you comforted me with a word.

"My lord, against Yuan's use of evil methods, regardless of the lives of the people, people with lofty ideals in the world will not sit idly by. Besides, although our army was defeated, its vitality was not injured, and it still had the strength to fight with Yuan Shu, why was the lord so discouraged? ”

It was Xu Shu who spoke, and I saw that he was dressed in a strong suit, wearing a sword at his waist, his aura was lofty, and his body was full of vitality.

Seeing this, Liu Bei stopped crying, wiped his tears, and said to Xu Shu: "What Mr. Yuanzhi taught is that he made a gaffe and made you laugh. ”

The rest of the people naturally shouted the words of benevolence and virtue of the lord, and many people were even more excited to have a lord who loved the people like a son.

When everyone dispersed, Xu Shu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Bei's sleeve and said, "Lord, have you heard of the recent rumors?" ”

"Rumors? Is Mr. Yuan Zhi talking about Yuan Yi and the demon Dao Yuji? ”

"My lord, this is exactly what happened." After speaking, Xu Shu stared at Liu Bei with both eyes and said, "Does the lord think the rumors are credible?" ”

Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Although the rumors are a little bizarre, they are groundless, and there is some basis for comparison. ”

"What the lord said is very true, Shu is rough through the art of observing qi, and he also found that Zhongguo's luck is abnormal."

"Oh? Yuan Zhi still has the ability to observe qi? I don't know if Yuan Zhi has a way to crack Yuan's evil art? ”

Xu Shu shook his head a little embarrassed, hugged his fists and said: "The lord forgives the sin, Shu is not good at learning and art, and he only has the art of observing qi, if it is not for the rumors to remind him, I am afraid that he will not be able to find the abnormality of Zhongguo." ”

Liu Bei's bright eyes immediately dimmed a lot, but Xu Shu immediately spoke: "But Shu knows one person, knows astronomy, knows geography, knows people, knows yin and yang, knows gossip, knows Qimen, and knows Dunjia." The mastery of the art of luck, no one in the world can be the right, if the lord can move him out of the mountain, it is easy to break Yuan's rebellion! ”

Liu Bei's face was a little strange when he heard this, and he stared at Xu Shu for a while before he said, "Mr. Yuanzhi, I don't know if Lingtang is healthy?" ”

Xu Shu was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Jiaci is in Xuzhou City now, and Cao Mengde's hand must not be able to reach Xuzhou City." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly smiled to hide his embarrassment.

He reacted completely subconsciously just now, after all, the scene of Xu Shu reciting Xuande is too well-known, and Liu Bei is one of the protagonists of the incident, so he has long been tired of hearing it.

But then Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "What Yuan Zhi said is Zhuge Kongming, who is known as Wolong?" ”

"However, it's Brother Kong Ming!"

"Yuan Zhi until the place where Mr. Zhuge lives in seclusion?"

"I didn't know before, but just now, I received a letter, and Brother Kong Ming, who has not heard from me for a long time, sent a letter to his subordinates, inviting me to drink and talk!"

Liu Bei immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Please also ask Mr. Yuanzhi to help me!" ”
