After the defeat of Xuzhou in the First World War, Liu Bei took the remaining hundreds of people to defect to Yuan Shao, and also inquired about Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun along the way, but there was no news.

"My lord, Lord Yuan Shao is invited." The soldier saluted.

Liu Bei frowned, nodded, and ordered: "In summer, you can go with me." "Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were scattered in the battle, Guan Yu's whereabouts are unknown, and the only personal generals who can carry them are Xiang Xia.

"Yes, my lord." Echo the summer.

In the lobby, Yuan Shao sat in the middle of the high hall, and on both sides stood civil and military generals.

"Liu Bei pays a visit to Yuan Gong." Liu Bei bowed and did the same.

"Liu Bei, I heard that you just finished fighting with Cao Cao, how many soldiers and horses do you have left? What about Cao Cao's combat power? Yuan Shao sat on the high seat, stroked his beard, looked at Liu Bei and asked.

Liu Bei got up and flicked his sleeves again, saluted and replied: "Back to Yuan Gong, Liu Bei still has more than 300 soldiers and 50 war horses. Cao Cao brought about 100,000 soldiers and horses on this expedition, and there should be more than 90,000 left in this battle. ”

"Cut, just such a few soldiers and horses are not enough to stuff your teeth, and you are embarrassed to come to my lord." The military general on the side made a disdainful voice.

Some wise and strategic strategists stood up and asked, "Liu Bei, I heard that your two brothers Guan Zhang are invincible, why can't you see your two brothers?" ”

Liu Bei replied in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, my two brothers are scattered..."

After listening to Liu Bei's answer, the strategist looked at Yuan Shao, shook his head and sighed.

Yuan Shao's face tightened, and he said with some displeasure: "Oh? Since you have come to me, you must have wanted to be protected by me. But with your current strength, what can you do for me? I think of Yuan Benchu as the fourth and third dukes, but I don't want to raise some useless people. ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and said, "Yuan Gong is right. Then, he bowed and saluted, "Duke Yuan, although my two brothers are not here, this one—" He said, moving away and pointing his arm straight at Summer.

"My little brother is also very good at martial arts. In this battle of Xuzhou, thanks to him, I was able to save my life, and he alone could defeat Cao Hong and Cao Ren. Liu Bei said lightly.

Instantly, all the eyes in the court were focused on Xiang Xia. When I heard about it in the summer, I was a little frightened and a little embarrassed. Always half-bent over, bowing his head and clenching his fists, this time I want to bury my head lower.

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiang Xia curiously, and asked, "Raise your head and let me take a look." ”

Although she was not very happy, she was under the eaves, and he told her to do so. Xiang Xia raised his head and looked directly at Yuan Shao.

In the eyes of the warriors on the side, seeing Liu Bei 'touting' Xiang Xia like this, and seeing that his lord was very interested in Xiang Xia, his heart was naturally more or less unbalanced. began to mumble to each other, mocking Xiang Xia's thin figure, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person with superb martial arts, it must be that Liu Bei is bragging.

But in the eyes of the strategists on the sidelines, this was not the case. Tian Feng, a strategist with status under Yuan Shao, also looked at Fan Xiang Xia carefully, then frowned, squinted, pinched his fingers and calculated, and stroked his beard, his eyes flashed with excitement.

Tian Feng stepped forward with some excitement and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xiang Xia was asked so suddenly by Tian Feng, and he didn't react. Yuan Shao coughed a few times, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Tian Feng's gaffe and usurpation. Tian Feng would observe his words and look at his feelings, and retreated, but his eyes never looked away from the summer.

Yuan Shao then asked, "What's your name?" Where are you from? Under whose command? Have you ever had a meritorious record? ”

Xiang Xia hugged his fists and bent over, and replied one by one: "My name is Xiang Xia,... Changshan people also. He was under the command of Gongsun Chan and had no merits. ”

Yuan Shao listened carefully at first, and when he heard that he had no merits, he suddenly lost interest, and said a little absent-mindedly: "Okay, retreat." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei felt that the situation was not very good, his brows were tightly locked, but he didn't know what to say again, and was about to bow and leave. Xiang Xia took a step forward, clasped his fists and saluted: "Gong Yuan, there is another word below." ”

Although Yuan Shao was not very interested, he still coped: "Oh? Say it, then. ”

"Although the two elder brothers of Guan Zhang are in exile, once the two elder brothers know the news of our lord Liu Bei, they will definitely come to follow, and they will naturally serve Yuan Gong at that time. And although my lord does not have many soldiers and horses, my lord can consume the 10,000 combat power of the Cao army with more than a few thousand combat power, and please think twice about it. Although Xiang Xia bowed down, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

When Tian Feng heard Xiang Xia say this, he nodded and stroked his beard in agreement, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes.

Yuan Shao thought about it, and after a while, he muttered: "In this case, then you can stay." ”

"Xie Yuangong." Liu Bei brought another salute to the summer.

Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves again and waved his hand, telling everyone to retreat. At the right time, Tian Feng stood up and saluted: "Lord, I have something to say." ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng, and then thought of his behavior just now, and saw that he looked secretive, and nodded in response.

Tian Feng had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said excitedly: "Lord, it is really a wise move to leave Liu Bei behind." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? I guess Guan Zhang Xian is not here..."Yuan Shao asked suspiciously.

Tian Feng excitedly didn't know how to place his hands, and said eagerly: "Lord, I saw that the person you asked about just now had an abnormal face, I pinched my fingers and found that that person was lucky enough to be a noble person from heaven." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he stood up, patted the handsome case excitedly, and asked in surprise: "Really?" ”

"Can't be wrong, can't be wrong! If the lord has the help of that man, the world will be just around the corner. ”

…

One day, Xiang Xia and Wei Yi went out of the city to inquire about Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and unconsciously found the outside of the border city. Walking on the road, looking around, from time to time I will ask passers-by.

"Still haven't heard from them...", he hung his head in frustration towards the summer.

"Don't worry, Fairy Gu, maybe Mi Fang has news of the general." Wei Yi comforted, and continued: "Fairy Gu, you are tired after walking for so long, let's find a place to rest." ”

Xiang Xia nodded with a bitter face, and continued to walk forward, only to see an antique pavilion in front of him, and there were a few women with heavy makeup standing in front of the pavilion. As soon as they approached, they were blocked by a mother-level figure.

"Two gentlemen." Mom winked at the two and shouted sharply.

Xiang Xia and Wei Yi both had black lines on their faces, and asked strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

Mom shook the pink silk in her hand and said with a smile: "Two masters, good luck!" The two masters are the hundredth to pass by our house, and our family will be entertained with free wine, and please invite the two grandfathers inside. ”

As she spoke, her mother stepped forward and took her to the summer. Xiang Xia wanted to push her away, but hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need!" You leave this good luck to the next person, eh, eh, I won't enter, don't drag me..."

"Sisters, there is another master, what are you doing in a daze." Mom said hello again, and several other women hugged and began to push Wei Yi.

Wei Yi had never faced such a situation before, and stammered in a panic: "You... What do you do? Let me go! ”

In this way, the two inexplicably entered the Qinglou for the first time in their lives, and after being pushed and pulled in, they were pressed to sit on a table.

"Two masters, wait a minute. Little two, bring good wine and good food. Mom patted Summer on the shoulder and smiled.

was surrounded by this group of flowery girls, and couldn't get out for a while. Now that they're all in, there's free dishes to enjoy. Xiang Xia thought about it for a while and said, "You don't need this wine, let's take a few more dishes." ”

Wei Yi looked at Xiang Xia in puzzlement, and his eyes seemed to ask, Immortal Gu, why did you compromise.

Xiang Xia cleared his throat, stuck out his tongue, and explained, "Anyway, I'm tired of walking, so I don't want to move around even more when I sit down." Besides, we don't have to pay for food, we will leave after eating, and we should see each other! ”

Wei Yi snorted, but he was still not very happy.

"An, I won't talk to your daughter-in-law in the future!" Xiang Xia quipped when he saw this.

When Wei Yi heard this, he suddenly sat down and said solemnly: "Let's leave after eating." "If he shouldn't come down, he doesn't know where the fairy girl will go.

Xiang Xia nodded, dismissed his mother and the women, and waited boredly for the food to be served, looking around. Not far from their table, there was a graceful man sitting, the man picked up the wine glass and drank it, seeing that Xiang Xia was looking at him, he smiled brightly at the summer, and raised the wine glass and nodded.

Xiang Xia smiled awkwardly, thinking about things with her head in her head, how could she think that the man was a little familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it, could it be that she was thinking too much?

After the delicious dishes were served, Xiang Xia didn't want to think about it anymore, his taste buds were hooked, and he was also hungry, and began to bury his head in eating. She is basically a vegetarian in the vegetarian days, the conditions are relatively difficult, and it is rare to have such a big fish and meat.

"Fairy Gu, eat slowly, don't choke." Wei Yi reminded loudly, Xiang Xia only responded softly, and continued to gobble up.

The man glanced at Xiang Xia from time to time, and when he saw her naughty eating appearance, he only felt funny.

"Alfalfa boy, eat and drink well." Mom beckoned to the man.

When Xiang Xia heard this, he looked up at the man and saw that the man was also looking at him with a smile. He rolled his eyes, thinking that the man would find that he was also looking at him and would look elsewhere, but he didn't expect the man to become even more intense, and his smile deepened, staring at him tightly.

Xiang Xia glared at the man dissatisfiedly, and buried his head again. Wei Yi also sensed that something was wrong, and asked, "Fairy Gu, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay... Let's eat it. Xiang Xia took food in his mouth and said in a daze.

"Hmm."

"The two sons of Alfalfa, why don't you summon the slave family when you come today?" A woman in a curly green coat walked towards the man.
