Chapter 21: The Tranquility Before the War
The bracelet was on the ankle, and it couldn't be taken off again, and there was no interface, but how did Liu Bei open it?
There must be some mechanism in this.
At first, Lingxi was still thinking hard and wanted to take it off, but later he gave up.
This ring is delicate and beautiful, but when you walk, you can't help but jingle when you walk, which attracts people's attention, and it makes Lingxi feel that she is trapped by someone, and she feels a little uncomfortable.
Now that I have made it clear to Liu Bei, I can't go, so what should I do, Lingxi can't think of any way, let alone one of her, even if it is three of her, she may not be able to defeat Liu Bei and Chen Gong.
A few days later, Liu Bei came to find Lingxi, he seemed to be in a good mood, and said briskly: "There is a temple fair in the city today, can I take you out for a walk?" ”
He never mentioned the events of that night, as if nothing had happened, he was still Liu Xuande, who rode with Lingxi, and she was his guest, Lingxi.
Lingxi couldn't bear to be depressed, she was not a person who admits death, the days still have to pass, and the way to think about it slowly was to know that Liu Bei would not hurt her, so she nodded lightly.
Liu Bei seemed to have known that she would agree, so he took her hand and walked out.
Lingxi struggled a few times, but couldn't break free, so he went with him.
Liu Bei is now a pastor in Xuzhou, different from ordinary people, he took Lingxi directly to the Xuzhou City Tower.
"Overlooking the six counties of Xuzhou here, it is really magnificent, but it is a pity that the counties in front of it are still in Cao Cao's hands."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Liu Bei felt speechless, when he didn't want to get along with Lingxi, both of them thought about that person in their hearts.
"Look, okay?" Liu Bei asked Lingxi instead.
"Now that they are your people, you love them very much." Lingxi stood on top of the city tower, looking at the bustling crowd below, and couldn't help but be a little moved.
Liu Bei has Liu Bei's ability, he not only puts the word benevolence and righteousness on his lips, but now he is only acting as the pastor of Xuzhou, but he is working for the benefit of the people here everywhere.
His reputation and reputation are very good, unlike Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao has also done a lot of things on his own turf. When he was in Yanzhou, in order to restore agriculture and support the war, he set up tuntian, recruited exiles, and arranged for the Yellow Turbans to descend soldiers.
Seeing that Lingxi was stunned, Liu Bei thought that she was homesick when she saw the people below, and slowly spoke: "Lingxi, come here to have a look." ”
He dragged Lingxi to the other side of the tower.
This is directly opposite the city gate, and the outside is outside Xuzhou, and you can't see the people coming and going inside, but you can see a vast heaven and earth, the avenue, and in the distance, overlapping and overlapping mountains.
Outside the city gate, there is a tall tree on the left and right, and it seems that it should have a lifespan of several decades if it is not a hundred years.
It's now May, the weather is getting hot, and under the trees, there is a shade.
Liu Bei saw that Lingxi was staring at the tree, so he said: "When I was a child, there was such a tree in front of my house, maybe it was more prosperous than this, the shade under the tree, every hot season, people who came and went loved to enjoy the shade in front of my house and rest. ”
"At that time, my mother would bring out cool water and entertain people who passed by."
Liu Bei recalled his childhood, and his eyes flickered.
"At that time, my family was poor, and my mother and I made a living by weaving straw mats and straw sandals, but those who passed by my house, every time they saw that tree, they would say, "This tree is blessed, and with his protection, your family will definitely produce talents."
"When I heard it, I just laughed stupidly, and I didn't know what they were talking about."
"Why are you telling me this?" Lingxi listened quietly to his story, and spoke for the first time.
"It's nothing, it's just seeing things and thinking about people. Do you know that you said that one day, I will have what he has, and this sentence gave me a lot of support when I was most helpless. ”
"Xuande, you are very good, I can understand that you detain me here, but I can't bear your feelings......"
"Lingxi, don't talk about this today, the lights in the city are brilliant at night, which is rare since years of war, why don't we drink and admire the moon here, how about it?"
Liu Bei stopped Lingxi from what he was going to say.
Lingxi said: "You are really not in a hurry, didn't you detain me to attract Cao Cao to attack, don't hurry up and prepare for war now, lest it be too late." However, since you have such a Yaxing, I really have nothing to do, so I will drink with you. ”
"Okay." Liu Bei replied heartily, and once again avoided the topic of Cao Cao, or, these were about their military aircraft, how could they tell Lingxi.
As the sun sets, the scenery above the castle tower is unique.
Lingxi stood on the edge of the city wall, thinking in his heart, this Xuzhou is really a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city wall is high and thick, and I am afraid that the jade will be burned if it is attacked.
And Liu Bei stood aside, he got used to Lingxi, who didn't like to talk to him much at the moment, although it was different from the lively and cheerful when they met before, talking and laughing with him, but he was not angry at all, but he was fascinated.
The breeze blew through Lingxi's ears, and the hair flew with the wind, and it was dyed with the afterglow of the setting sun, turning into a golden appearance, dazzling.
"The wind is clear, the water flows for a long time, my brother walks in the sky, since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and a promise is made to the end......" Lingxi unconsciously hummed a song.
Beauty groans.
"How did I forget, Lingxi was the singer in Wang Yun's mansion that day, and she didn't lose to the beauty Diao Chan." When Liu Bei heard this singing, he smiled and said, "But you are really weird, the sentences you say are wonderful, and the songs you sing are wonderful, but I have never heard of them." ”
"Because you don't know it." When Lingxi said it, he felt that it was not appropriate, to be precise, because he did not live long enough, if he lived another two thousand years, then it would be understood.
No matter what the others are, it is also Liu Xuande, who is comparable to Cao Cao and took the lead later.
Lingxi looked up at Liu Bei, and sure enough, he saw that he looked confused.
……
Thousands of miles away in Xuchang City, Cao Cao's head disease is almost better, he has had this disease since he was a teenager, for many years, it has not been cured, when he is not sick, there is nothing wrong, but once the headache starts, it is like a landslide and the ground cracks, and even faints in pain.
Lingxi has been away for ten days, he knows that Lingxi is in Xuzhou, how could he not know, Liu Bei They did this, for fear of leading him to attack quickly and fiercely.
In the conference hall, there were civil and military columns, and Cao Cao sat above: "What do you think of Xuzhou?" ”
"Lord, please send troops to Xuzhou quickly, I will go to war, 50,000 elite soldiers, and I will definitely be able to take Xuzhou!" Xu Chu said.
"Lord, I invite you to fight in Xuzhou, only need 30,000 elite soldiers, and break through Xuzhou City, Liu Bei is too deceitful!" As soon as Cao Ren heard the word Xuzhou, he remembered that Guan Yu took away the spirit rhino under his eyelids that day, and he was angry.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send troops in a hurry." On the other side, Xun Yu got up and said.
"What does Mr. Xun mean, that Liu Bei deceived people too much, was bold and reckless, and now he has united with Lu Bu, can we let him bully the lord!"
Xun Yu said: "The general also knows that Liu Bei and Lu Bu have joined forces, then Lu Bu is the first brave general in the world, and there is another Chen Palace by his side, the general is sure?" ”
"Then what do you say!" Cao Ren's stomach was full of anger, and his tone couldn't help but be heavier.
"Zixiao, don't worry, listen to what Xun Yu says." Cao Cao spoke: "Xun Yu has any good plans, it doesn't hurt to be blunt." ”
Xun Yu said slowly: "At present, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are united, they are guarding Xuzhou and Xiaopei, forming a horn trend, once there is a change, take care of each other, and in addition, Xuzhou is a strong city, and the strong attack is only afraid of too heavy casualties, on the contrary, Xu Xu Tuzhi can be broken." ”
"How do you do it?" Cao Cao asked.
"A quick attack will only make them huddle together and share the same hatred, but leave some time to sit and watch the changes, they will have a gap, at this time, they only need to make a little planning, send a capable person to Xuzhou to provoke the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu, so that they can fight internally, and then it is not too late to make plans."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
The strategists below all seconded the proposal, and the generals on the other side gradually figured it out.
Cao Cao took a deep look at Xun Yu and walked down.
"What Xun Yu said is good, it's just ......"
"It's just that the lord is worried about Mrs. Huan's safety, and I'm afraid that Mrs. Huan won't be able to wait that long." Guo Jia stood up: "The lord has always been resolute and never said just two words. ”
Yes, the fighter is important, but the rhino is even more important, he doesn't want the spirit rhino to be hurt in the slightest, and he doesn't believe that Liu Bei is really as gentlemanly as he shows.
If at this time, he can be told that everything is fine with Xi'er, then it will be okay to wait for a while, but Xuzhou is far away, he doesn't know her situation at all, and the people sent to investigate have never heard from Xuzhou.
……
At night, Liu Bei sent Lingxi back to the pavilion and left.
Lingxi lay down, and his name suddenly appeared in his heart.
What does Cao Cao need most now, does he most want to know that she is safe?
