With Zhang Langbing's coming to block, the water coming to cover the earth, and in response to various countermeasures, Liu Bei, who was far away in Xiangxi, was a little irritable and uneasy, and it was difficult to fall asleep for a few days. He had been sitting in the camp for more than half an hour, frowning and sighing from time to time. The whole person looks shrunken and restless.

At this time, the tent was separated, leaking into the starry sky, and soon closed again, and there was an extra Shandong man with a beard of two feet long and a face like a heavy jujube, and he was carrying a plate of ginseng soup, and this person was Guan Yu. It turned out that he didn't need to do these things, but he just looked at Liu Bei and wanted to enlighten him.

Guan Yu put the ginseng soup on the table, the silkworm's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Danfeng's eyes did not have the light of arrogance, but with a faint worry, he said softly: "Big brother, since it is Lord Liu's intention, why do you have to take the matter on yourself?" ”

Liu Bei sighed heavily, and said with a confused face: "Zhang Lang has been kind to our brother several times, how can he have the face to counterattack Yuzhang?" ”

Guan Yu slapped his iron palm on the case heavily, with an angry face, and said coldly: "It's all this damn Cai Mao, who instigated Liu Biao to form an alliance with Cao Ying and march into Jiangdong, and now the eldest brother is in a dilemma." ”

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, and said depressedly: "In the eyes of others, it seems that our brother has picked up a big bargain, and Liu Biao is also good for us, and he sent everyone a good errand that he thinks is a good soldier, with 100,000 soldiers, plus Jiangdong has internal and external troubles, it seems that there is no reason not to win this battle." ”

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "You can't blame the big brother for this, if Zhang Lang really can't keep Yuzhang, you can only blame them for not having the ability." ”

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Second brother, this matter is not as simple as you think. I'm afraid we're going to be in big trouble. ”

Guan Yu was surprised: "What's the matter, eldest brother Yuzhang doesn't have many troops now, it shouldn't be difficult to take it." ”

Liu Bei said lightly: "I'm afraid that our brother has fallen into the struggle for the throne of Liu's cousin." It was fine before, but now Liu Biao is sick in bed, and I don't know what his situation is. ”

Guan Yu raised his head proudly, and said arrogantly: "Liu Biao relies on the eldest son Liu Qi the most, even if Liu Biao leaves, the successor is Liu Qi, and the eldest brother has a good relationship with Liu Qi, what are you afraid of?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Second brother, you don't know, Liu Biao has been very fond of Cai Mao's sister since he accepted her as a concubine, especially after giving birth to Liu Cong, he has been much worse than before for Liu Qi, plus Cai Mao has a heavy army in his hands, and has the full support of the Jingzhou clan, Liu Biao can't ignore his thoughts, if Liu Biao really goes, it is normal to set up Liu Cong to succeed him." If this is the case, then it will be even more difficult for us to survive in the future. At this time, Liu Bei's face was gloomy.

Guan Yu was also a little annoyed: "Then what did the eldest brother say?" ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I don't know what to do for a while." ”

Guan Yu narrowed Danfeng's eyes, gently stroked the long beard, and also fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei continued: "Jian Yong is proficient in divination, although the star image of Lord Liu is faint, but there is no premature death, I am afraid that the struggle between Liu Qi and Liu Cong for power has only really begun now, and no one can grasp the development trend of things in the future." ”

Guan Yu suddenly opened Danfeng's eyes, and his eyes sparkled and said: "In this case, instead of saying that the eldest brother is under the account of others, it is better to take the opportunity to stand on his own, take the four counties of Jingnan as a place to live, and then marry Zhang Lang, and then try to Liu Biao Jingxiang, which is also a way." ”

Liu Bei said angrily: "How can the second brother have this idea. Lord Liu is very kind to me, how can I do such an unrighteous thing. Besides, you don't know that although we have 100,000 soldiers and horses, how many of us will listen to our brothers? The 30,000 horses led by Qiao Xuan and Liu Qi, the Taishou of Changsha, were simply self-proclaimed, and they sent troops without my orders. Not to mention Huo Jun on the other side, this person is Jing Yue's protégé, and the relationship between Jing Yue and the Cai family is not ordinary, I just want them to garrison Wu Chang this time, he is good, even Liu Yang took it down for me. If we do raise troops, this person will not be reliable. ”

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes lightly glanced at Liu Bei, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Secretly figuring out the meaning of Liu Bei's words just now, it seems that the eldest brother has finally changed his mood after so many tribulations, although it is not very obvious, but he has finally taken this step.

Just when Guan Yu was secretly happy in his heart, Liu Bei stood up and said with a decadent face: "We have been operating in Yidu for several years, and it seems that we are going to be ruined, that is our brother's hard work for many years." ”

Guan Yu was also silent.

The night outside the tent became quieter.

Zhang Lang marched overnight, and two days later, 15,000 men and horses had entered Zabaqiu.

Zhang Lang immediately asked his subordinates to start arranging the camp. Because Baqiu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountain is steep and abnormal, and there is Ganshui flowing through in the west, the terrain is very favorable, and it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack key points. And there is only an official road in the middle, leading to Nanchang, and the whole place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are dangers to defend. The queens soon began to knotting rafts and set up checkpoints and sentinels. Stop Dazhai at the intersection that must be passed.

Zhang Lang sent people to guard the pass, and at the same time asked people to collect the situation on the four sides, especially the information about the precautions of Pingdu Town. Although I got a lot of news from Quan Cong, time is changing every day, and no one can guarantee that there will be a new situation.

Zhang Lang was inspecting the progress of the construction of the camp, and suddenly a soldier came to report that Zhang Ning had come to meet with three thousand skeleton soldiers.

Zhang Lang was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly went to see this bewitching beauty.

Zhang Ning came at the right time, with her secret weapon, the possible surname of taking Pingdu Town will greatly increase.

Zhang Lang hurriedly asked the soldiers to call Zhang Ning to see him.

The last time I met Zhang Ning, I could already trace it back to half a year ago, but after meeting a few times, I said goodbye in a hurry. I'm going to have to figure something out today.

Zhang Ning hasn't changed at all, charming, bewitching, even if he wears a dark red phoenix armor, he still looks so windy.

Zhang Lang wandered around her with a somewhat provocative look, but he didn't dare to go overboard, and focused his eyes on her face after a while. The slightly long face originally felt a little insufficient, but with the small mouth with the cherry red surname and the watery peach blossom eyes, it had a different temptation and style.

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "I don't know if I should call you Miss Zhang or General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Ning glanced at Zhang Lang angrily, I don't know why, every time I see him, I always feel that I can no longer maintain the quiet state of mind I used to, and I am often stirred up by his frivolous eyes and unique language.

Zhang Ning tried his best to make a cold expression and said: "Military law is like a mountain, maybe Master Zhang knows better than me." ”

Zhang Lang said solemnly: "That's what I said." When Zhang Ning just breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Lang suddenly turned around, lowered his head and smiled: "Zhang Ning, doesn't it feel too raw to call you like this?" ”

Zhang Ning said angrily: "General Zhang, there are no rules, and there is no square circle." Think it out for yourself. ”

Zhang Lang seemed to have an understanding, and said with a crooked smile: "yes, how about calling you Miss Ning in private, or Xiao Ning?" ”

Zhang Ning almost rolled his eyes angrily, and said helplessly at Zhang Lang's hooliganism: "General Zhang, don't you feel that this is really too much, and it is difficult for a strong man?" ”

Zhang Lang deliberately lowered his head and pondered: "Oh, excessive? I don't feel it, huh? ”

Zhang Ning really didn't have anything to do, Zhang Lang suddenly raised his head and took a step in, and said in a low voice: "Miss Ning, today I let you know what is excessive." ”

Zhang Ning immediately remembered the first time he saw Zhang Lang, the domineering behavior, the provocative look, it was vivid, every time he thought of it, his heart rippled, and he couldn't tell what it felt. Shy? Helpless? Zhang Ning himself couldn't say clearly.

Zhang Ning took a step back, and there was a little panicked look on your face, but in Zhang Lang's eyes, it became extremely tempting.

Zhang Lang actually just wanted to tease, he didn't want to really have any radical behavior, he just stared at Zhang Ning with his eyes, and said with a smug smile: "Zhang Ning, you seem to be afraid of me?" I'm afraid I'll disrespect you. ”

Zhang Ning saw Zhang Lang's smiling expression, knowing that he had played it once, he was angry in his heart, and he really felt a little unbearable, and he wanted to walk away several times, but he stood there stiffly under his feet.

Zhang Lang didn't want to go too far, his face suddenly turned grim, and he said seriously: "Zhang Ning, how is your skeleton soldier?" ”

Obviously, he hasn't come out of the incident just now, and Zhang Lang's return to the pistol made Zhang Ning stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Just stared at him blankly.

Zhang Lang stared at her.

After a long while, Zhang Ning came back to his senses, and said with a calm face: "General, rest assured, the current skeleton soldiers are more powerful and lethal than those in Wulong Mountain, and their camouflage techniques are more comprehensive." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, but said indifferently on his face: "Zhang Ning, you did a good job." ”

Zhang Jingjing said: "This is what subordinates should do." ”

Zhang Lang approvingly: "Hehe, there is no need to say this, I still have something I want to ask you." ”

Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Lang vigilantly, trying to find out what intentions were on her face, but she was quickly disappointed, especially when she looked at the strange eyes, her heart was a little confused. Zhang Ning immediately sorted out his thoughts, thought carefully for a while, and then said: "As long as it is within the ability of his subordinates, he will do his best." ”

Zhang Lang smiled a little excessively, there were some faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes unconsciously, and he said in a strange tone: "Zhang Ning, you seem to be very afraid that I have other intentions, looking at your expression, it's like guarding against thieves, I'm so bad." As he spoke, he pretended to be pitiful.

Zhang Ning's heart once again poked Zhang Lang out, although he was a little embarrassed, but there was no trace of guilt in his watery peach blossom eyes, but he was a little proud, and said seriously: "The general is wrong, where would his subordinates have such thoughts." ”

Zhang Lang knew that Zhang Ning was lying, but he had no other way in his heart, so he could only not pursue it: "Zhang Ning, your father's revenge has been avenged, right?" ”

Zhang Ning's face immediately turned gloomy, but he still controlled his emotions and said strongly: "Thank you, General, my father has a spirit in the sky, and he can rest in peace." ”

Zhang Lang said again: "Then "Taiping Technique", did you get it back?" ”

Zhang Ning suddenly woke up, and said cautiously on his face: "General, "Taiping Technique" is a family heirloom......

Zhang Lang interrupted her with some impatience and said, "Is it difficult for me to rob your things?" Did you get it back? ”

Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Lang suspiciously and said, "It's back." ”

Zhang Lang said excitedly: "Then do you understand the words on it?" ”

Zhang Ning really couldn't believe that Zhang Lang had no intentions, and his eyes lit up as if he had seen a treasure, showing a greedy expression, like a living hound seeing the target. Zhang Ning suddenly regretted a little, regretting why he was so honest, wouldn't he lie about it?

Zhang Ning ignored Zhang Lang's eager gaze, the pair of eyes that could seduce people just turned slightly, a faint smile appeared on the face of the demon, and he pretended to be sorry and said: "General Zhang is disappointed, in fact, his subordinates don't understand what is said above." ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slyly, I want to fool me, are you a little tender? Little girl, you're still almost. You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. Zhang Lang deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "You can't understand? That's a great pity, but don't worry, I just met a strange man some time ago, he traveled through strange books, and he was proficient in all kinds of languages, and I immediately ordered someone to send someone to invite him here, and the problem will be solved. ”

Zhang Ning was taken aback, he didn't know if what Zhang Lang said was true or false, but looking at his confident and smug expression, he almost looked determined to win, and he had no bottom in his heart, and said a little sadly: "General, this book is inherited from my father, how can I let others watch it casually?" Don't embarrass the little girl. ”

Zhang Lang suddenly sighed and said: "Zhang Ning, I said that I have no ambition for your "Taiping Technique", I just have another strange book in my hand, but I can't read the words on it, I hope you will help me, but it seems that you are very unhappy." Zhang Lang said sullenly.

Zhang Ning really couldn't figure out whether what Zhang Lang said was true or false, and said tentatively: "What kind of strange book is it?" ”

Zhang Lang said lightly: "It's a book of early heaven." ”

"Escape to the early heavens"? Zhang Ning was surprised.

"Do you also know the Book of Escape? This time, it was Zhang Lang's turn to be surprised.

"Yes, there is a record of the Taiping Heavenly Book about the Book of Escape Early." Zhang Ning didn't want to think about it.

Zhang Lang suddenly showed a smile on his face, although he didn't make a sound, but it could be seen that he was smiling proudly, his eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to the edge.

Zhang Ning suddenly came to his senses, screamed, and suddenly covered his small mouth.
