Not long after Zhang Xi prepared to drink and eat, Zhang Xi saw a large group of people coming in the direction of Hanjinkou.

Zhang Xi was immediately startled because there were too many people.

According to the report of the horses, although the whole team was scattered, it stretched for more than ten miles, and it looked like there were at least fifty or sixty thousand people.

Zhang Xi is called a confused. How can there be so many people?!

But fortunately, Zhang Xi was not stunned for too long, and his own Erha jumped up and down again, telling Zhang Xi that the lord Liu Bei would arrive soon, and asked Zhang Xi to quickly open the gate to greet him.

Zhang Xi hurriedly opened the gate of the village and led a hundred soldiers to greet him, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see Liu Bei.

It's just that it's not the same as Liu Bei that Zhang Xi thought, although this Liu Bei's clothes are a little torn and a little gray, but the whole person is refreshed and smiling.

Moreover, when Zhang Xi saw Liu Bei, before he could salute, he saw Liu Bei bow to himself first, and said.

"Prepare for this great disaster, thanks to the power of the chief, please be prepared."

Zhang Xi hurriedly supported Liu Bei, who was about to bow down, this is not right, and it is not in line with the courtesy of monarchs and ministers in this era.

"Why did the lord say this?!" After Zhang Xi helped Liu Bei, he hurriedly asked in surprise.

I'm guarding the ferry here, cooking a meal by the way, why is this my own credit?!

Liu Bei was still smiling, smiling very happily.

But Zhang Fei had already rushed out at this time, grabbed Zhang Xi's wrist, and said with a laugh, "Yuan Chang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I want to die of Lao Zhang!" ”

Zhang Xixin said that you are not surnamed Feng, so you have nothing to do with this. Anyway, the voice was light, and the shock was tinnitus.

"The three generals, don't come unharmed, or you go take a shower and change your clothes first?!" Zhang Xi said as he stayed away from Zhang Fei.

One is that the ears can't stand it, and the other is that the nose can't stand the smell of blood and sweat mixed together, and the smell is really unbearable.

It's not that Zhang Xi can't accept the smell of blood, when he was guarding the city in Exian County, Zhang Xi was already used to this taste.

The key is that this time it is too close, Zhang Fei seems to be fighting out again, and he hasn't taken a bath for dozens of days, this smell is mixed together, who can stand it.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then Zhang Xi, who was laughing and shocked, began to have tinnitus.

It's Liu Bei, who came out to solve the siege at this time.

"I'm not busy with the old days, but I'm tired from a long journey." Liu Bei smiled and said to Zhang Xi, "Yuan Chang, let the soldiers re-establish the village in the periphery, guide the people to enter the camp and rest in peace, and tomorrow morning, introduce the people into Jiangxia and settle them well." ”

Zhang Xi hurriedly agreed, and then bowed his hand to Zhang Fei, which was regarded as a farewell, and went to take care of his own affairs.

It's just that Zhang Xi is also very strange, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei really don't look like they have just experienced the battle royale of Changbanpo. And the number of these people is outrageous, right?!

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only said that Liu Bei escaped from pursuit, and the history books said that Liu Bei led more than a dozen horsemen to flee for his life, and there was no mention of the fate of the people.

But Zhang Xi thought about it, in the case of that kind of chaotic army, the fate of the people should not be good, even if Cao Cao's army did not kill, but it is estimated that it is lost, and it is impossible to act with Liu Bei and reach Hanjin Pass.

Why are there so many people this time?!

And speaking of the people Xu Shu's family?!

As soon as Zhang Xi thought of this, he hurriedly asked people to find Kou Erha, and after a while, Erha appeared.

"Brother, what are you looking for me?!" Kou Feng asked.

"Gongzhong, let me ask you, have you ever seen the lord and the families of Zhuge Junshi and Xu Junshi?!" Zhang Xi asked with a solemn face.

Kou Feng thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen it." ”

Zhang Xi instantly chuckled in his heart.

But then, Kou Feng said, "Why did my brother ask about this, the women's convoy has always been escorted by Bai Yu soldiers, and as a foreign minister, even if I flee, I must have some taboos." ”

What do you mean by that?! Who doesn't know the taboo?!

Zhang Xi suddenly became furious, these two ha, it is simply underbeaten.

"Who asked if you haven't seen each other, what I'm asking is, have the families of the generals under the lord's account been lost in the chaos?!" Zhang Xi gritted his teeth and made his words clear.

But Kou Feng still looked at Zhang Xi with an inexplicable expression, and said, "This time, General Guan and I went to meet the lord, although the lord was pursued by the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, but he also repelled the tiger and leopard cavalry, and killed nearly a thousand people. Why do you say that the army is in turmoil?! ”

Well?!

What?!

You repeat?!

Liu Bei was not scattered by the tiger and leopard riding on Changban Slope, and he also killed the other party, causing thousands of casualties to the other party? !

Hey, please, you have to talk about some logic when you write, is it okay to write a tiger and leopard ride? !

But Zhang Xi asked Kou Feng for details, and he couldn't say why.

Kou Feng said that he followed Guan Yu to the rescue, so he caught up with a tail and helped chase and kill a tiger and leopard horseman, but because the other party was a cavalry, the infantry led by him couldn't catch up at all, so there was nothing to gain.

In other words, before Kou Feng and Guan Yu arrived, the tiger and leopard riders had already lost a lot, and as for how they lost, Kou Feng really didn't know.

Zhang Xi could only put aside this question for the time being, and first arranged for the soldiers to set up camp and prepare for defense.

Liu Bei brought too many people, and people came in one after another, and Zhang Xi was busy all night, so he barely managed to collect these people.

Immediately after Zhang Xi couldn't rest, he had to introduce Su Fei and Chen to Liu Bei, and after Liu Bei praised the two, Chen and Su Fei took turns to direct the navy to transport the people to Jiangxia.

Then at noon the next day, Zhang Xi waited for the soldiers led by Guan Yu after the break, so that he could hand over the defense and go to sleep well.

After waking up, Zhang Xi couldn't wait to find Xu Shu to confirm the safety of their family.

Fortunately, Xu Shu, along with Xu's mother and Mrs. Xu, were safe and sound, and they were all in Xu Shu's account.

Then Zhang Xi took the opportunity to ask Xu Shu what was going on in the battle of Changbanpo.

With less than 10,000 troops, scattered to protect more than 100,000 people, how did they not be scattered by tigers and leopards? !

This Zhang Xi never figured it out, and Xu Shu, as a witness, gave Zhang Xi an answer on the spot.

The reason is very simple, some people hang man-made, some people open hanging, and some people open Wushuang.

The person who made the hanging is Zhang Xi, the person who opened the hanging is Zhang Fei, and the person who opened the Wushuang is still Zhao Yun.

Zhang Xi's legacy of training methods was meticulously inherited by Zhang Fei, and according to the characteristics of the Mandarin Duck Formation and Wugang Che, Zhang Fei also made certain improvements to the command method.

Zhang Fei demanded that the primary schools must maintain sufficient contact with each other at any time, and if they encounter a situation of separation, the separated primary schools can assemble on the spot, echo their nearby companions, rely on Wugang cars to defend on the spot first, and then find a way to send reinforcements to rescue.

With this set of command methods, Zhang Fei focused on training soldiers on weekdays, which was in Changbanpo, and gave Liu Beijun a new life.

Liu Bei ordered the whole army to disperse to protect the people, and Zhang Fei repeatedly instructed the small schools to march according to the drill before they dispersed, so while protecting the people, although the small schools were a little far away, they still maintained the habit of echoing each other.

Liu Beijun marched slowly like this, marched to Changban Slope, and was finally caught up by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horseman.

Of course, not all the tigers and leopards were ridden, but the 1,000 tigers and leopards led by Cao Xiu were in the forefront, and the remaining 4,000 tigers and leopards were half a day's behind, and under the leadership of Cao Chun, they rushed towards Changbanpo.

Traveling three hundred miles in one day and night, even if it is a tiger and leopard ride, it is already very difficult at this time, so Cao Chun will divide his troops and let Cao Xiu lead the forward to continue to advance, striving to bite Liu Bei first, he led the rear army to rest for half a day, and then followed.

And Cao Xiu did lead a thousand tigers and leopards to ride and catch up with Liu Bei near Dangyang County.

When he first caught up with Liu Bei, Cao Xiu was also startled - why did Liu Bei have so many troops?!

It stretches for more than ten miles, and the number of people is no less than 100,000. Cao Xiu almost gave up the attack.

Just kidding, using a thousand cavalry to impact an army of more than 100,000, even if the tiger and leopard cavalry is a strong army in the world, there is no such combat option to die in vain.

But soon, Cao Xiu realized that Liu Bei could not have so many troops, and the whole of Jingzhou did not have so many troops.

Taking a closer look, Cao Xiu found that these hundreds of thousands of people were all ordinary people.

And Liu Beijun, in order to protect the people, actually took the initiative to disperse into dozens of squads.

Cao Xiu was immediately overjoyed.

Anyone who can do this is either a natural hero or a fool. Obviously, Cao Xiu thought that Liu Bei was the latter.

After seeing clearly what was going on with the enemy in front of him, Cao Xiu immediately sorted out his cavalry and made an attack formation.

And when Cao Xiu's cavalry appeared, a small school behind Liu Beijun's palace had already discovered that the situation was wrong.

Although he was flustered, after such a long time of drilling, he let the little school know what he should do first at this time. Immediately, a bamboo whistle was blown to echo the contact.

After blowing the bamboo whistle, the colonel immediately ordered to start placing the Wugang car in the direction of Cao Jun's attack.

After hearing the bamboo whistle, the nearby junior colonels also hurriedly approached, united the forces of three or four junior colonels, and reasonably arranged a circular Wugang car formation.

Now there are more soldiers under Zhang Fei, and the first colonel is not the original 150 to 200 people, but 200 to 300 people, so the strength of nearly 1,000 people has laid down a car formation surrounded by more than 100 Wugang cars.

As for the people, they don't need these soldiers to rush away, as soon as they saw the banner of Cao Jun, they desperately fled at the moment, although many of them escaped, but in the end it did not affect the formation of this first batch of soldiers.

And at this time, Cao Xiu also made a mistake - underestimating the enemy.

But this really can't be blamed on Cao Xiu, he is young and has not been riding the tiger and leopard for a long time.

In addition, in Cao Xiu's concept, how could a group of infantry, even if they form a formation, in the plains, be the opponent of a thousand cavalry.

What's more, he still led the tiger and leopard ride, and he captured and killed Yuan Tan's tiger and leopard ride.

Therefore, Cao Xiu was like a cat playing with a mouse, just jokingly watching Liu Beijun's soldiers blow the whistle to gather troops and form a formation. Until he saw the other party and began to connect the carts in a circle.

At this time, Cao Xiu realized that he seemed to be a little careless, and the other party seemed to be a car formation.

But Cao Xiu still felt that he was the dominant party at this time. It's not that I haven't encountered a car formation in these years, and this kind of thing that can only be defended has long been eliminated by history.

Moreover, Liu Beijun's chariot formation is not a chariot, but a cart used by the common people to load firewood and grass, which is not too strong in itself, and there are no defensive measures.

You don't even need to get close to the car formation, you only need to ride and shoot on the periphery to kill and injure the soldiers in the car formation.

Only I beat you, not you.

Cao Xiu thought about it very well, but when he saw that the cart-like thing in his eyes was connected end to end, a one-zhang high wooden board was suddenly erected on the outside of the cart, and the spear and bamboo pole stretched out along the gap in the cart to form a simple antler, and Cao Xiu couldn't help it.
