On Wang Xuan's way back to Jiangdong, he captured Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji's two uncles and nephews, and recruited them to his command, which was undoubtedly a windfall.

In addition, those Xiliang cavalry are all one person and two horses, and they take turns to change, and three thousand people are six thousand horses!

Even if nearly 2,000 war horses were lost in the previous battle, the remaining 4,000 war horses still made them rush a lot faster.

Only eight days later, they were already on the banks of the Huai River!

After the Jiangdong side got the news from Wang Xuan before, they had already sent people to collect the boats on the north and south banks of the Huai River, tow them to the south bank of the Huai River, and prepare to blockade the Huai River.

However, when he reported the news before, he also explained clearly the location of his crossing of the river, so there was a Jiangdong sailor on the other side of the Huai River, ready to come over to meet them at any time.

More than 20,000 of them were directly on the north bank of the Huai River, and such a big movement naturally could not be hidden, and there was no need for them to send a special signal, and soon a small fleet of boats would dock and watch them vigilantly.

When the other party confirmed that this was not the enemy, but the return of a large army led by his own lord, the sailors on the ship all cheered.

It didn't take long for hundreds of boats to dock and take them across the river.

More than 20,000 people, thousands of horses, these boats had to make several trips back and forth to transport them all across the Huai River.

They had already arrived at the door, and Wang Xuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly a spy sent an urgent report: "Report!" Lord Qiqi, a group of cavalry appeared in the rear of our army, the number of opponents is unknown, and about hundreds of people appeared in the front, I don't know if there is a large army in the rear! ”

"Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be the pursuers sent by Dong Zhuo? Wang Xuan was awe-inspiring in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Sun Ce and Huang Zhong to join forces and take the five hundred cavalry battalions to deal with it.

If the enemy really only has a few hundred people, then let's not say, just destroy them. But if there were still large forces in the rear, then the goal of the cavalry battalion would be changed to hinder the enemy, delay their advance, and buy time for Wang Xuan's army to cross the river.

After another half an hour passed, the spies went and returned: "Report! Lord Qi, the group of men and horses that appeared after our army was only a few hundred people, and there were no follow-up troops. The commander of that team called himself Liu Bei, the clan member of the Han family, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, said that he was going to Jiangdong to join you......"

"Liu Bei? That guy is coming to me? Wang Xuan was a little confused.

When the princes met in the previous alliance and jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he had met Liu Bei a few times, but that's all, he didn't even say a few words, why did Liu Bei come over to join him?

If you want to come to him, it should be Cao Cao, after all, he has been with Cao Cao for so long, and he has hinted at Cao Cao.

"Wenhe, Liu Xuande came to join me, should I accept it?" If Cao Cao came to join him, he naturally agreed without hesitation. can be replaced by Liu Bei, Wang Xuan was a little hesitant in his heart.

First of all, Liu Bei's subordinates did not have any strength, only a few hundred remnants of the defeated generals remained, except for Guan Yu, who had outstanding martial arts talent, there was nothing for Wang Xuan to see.

Secondly, Wang Xuan is also ambitious and has the intention to usurp the Han, and when the time comes, whether Liu Bei, a member of the Han family, will come out to rebel, which is also something worth considering.

In addition, there is another consideration, in the original history, the big-eared thief Liu Bei took refuge in many people in his life, but except for Cao Cao's life, none of them had a good end.

Even if Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi, a famous Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, was one of the three dukes, just because Liu Bei took refuge in him for a few months, Lu Zhi was deposed and arrested by the imperial court, which is really a bit evil......

"That's it, it's the so-called money to buy horse bones, after all, Liu Xuande came all the way to join me, if I turn it away, I'm afraid it will discourage some people who want to come to me." Wang Xuan didn't wait for Jia Xu to answer, and said to himself.

"Exactly, although Liu Xuande is just a small person, but now that the Kwantung princes have been defeated, it won't take long for Dong Zhuo to sweep through the Central Plains, and there will definitely be no fewer people who want to come over and defect to the lord. Liu Xuande is a role model, even if he pretends to be for the world! Jia Xu had a smile on his face, giving people a sense of inscrutable.

Wang Xuan thought about it, now Liu Bei is just a small person, and if he has the heart to take precautions, he will definitely not give Liu Bei the opportunity to oppose the guest. On the contrary, he opened the hanging, and his strength grew rapidly, even if he accepted Liu Bei, he couldn't set off much turmoil, but he was able to have two more powerful younger brothers, why not?

In this way, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he said to a crony next to him: "Pass my order and let General Huang come to see me with the Pingyuan Order." ”

The cronies took the order and left.

It didn't take long for Huang Zhong to bring Liu Bei over, and Guan Yu was still with him.

As soon as the two sides met, Liu Bei pushed the golden mountain and bowed down to the jade pillar, crying: "Now that the Dong thief occupies Luoyang, the Son of Heaven is in trouble and falls into the hands of demons and monsters. My plain made Liu Bei willing to follow Wang Tingshi, only hoping that the assassin Shi could eliminate Dong thief and save the Son of Heaven from fire and water, Liu Bei would never give up! ”

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes, Liu Bei had something to say in his words, which had a taste of "descending Han but not Cao". At first glance, he heard that he was sincere, thinking that the other party really wanted to defect to him, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, the other party came to defect to him just to deal with Dong Zhuo, and when Dong Zhuo was finished, he would have an excuse to leave, and he didn't care about it at all.

"Xuande is serious, wait for me to return to Jiangdong, I will naturally not treat you badly." Wang Xuan did not deliberately break it, but helped Liu Bei and the two brothers up.

With the help of a short contact, he sensed the strength of Liu Bei and Guan Yu at close range.

Liu Bei is really weak, when the princes' alliance had just started before, the two brothers had not yet begun to cultivate.

Even if so much time has passed, Liu Bei has barely broken through to the first level of Qi training, and Guan Yu has broken through to the peak of the first layer of body refining - it should be that in the past two or three months of crusading against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei has obtained some cultivation resources from Gongsun Zhan and barely stepped into the path of cultivation.

Wang Xuan's eyes flashed with a faint clear light, and he secretly used the Qi Hope Technique to spy on Liu Bei and Guan Yu's luck.

Needless to say, Liu Bei is just a pale yellow luck at first glance, similar to Zhang Ji, but if you look through the fog carefully, you will find that any pale yellow luck is just fake, there is clearly a lilac natal luck above Liu Bei's head, and a thumb-sized carp swimming around his natal luck!

"The carp is also a dragon species, and it can transform into a dragon by jumping over the dragon gate, and this Liu Bei is really a hidden dragon!" Wang Xuan was secretly frightened: "With the blessing of the Hidden Dragon Fortune, Liu Bei's cultivation speed will not be slow, I am afraid it will be even faster than Zhang Xiu!" ”

As for Guan Yu, his luck has not reached this natal level, but he also has a dark cyan natal luck, which is half a level stronger than Zhang Xiu's pale cyan natal luck.

Wang Xuan still wanted to see more, but the tingling pain in his pupils made him have to withdraw his Qi Lookout technique, and a mouthful of reverse blood almost spurted out of his chest, and he forcibly swallowed it again.
