The night of fighting gradually passed, and the sky not far away was already white.

I thought it would be a good day today, but although the weather was good, the hearts of the people who were running away at the moment were all gloomy.

After running for a night, Lu Bu finally led his troops to stop and rest.

At this time, he was full of gray faces, covered in blood, and got off the red rabbit horse with a frustrated face, sitting in place and panting.

Zhang Liao also looked tired and led a group of soldiers and guards by Lu Bu's side.

After arranging for the soldiers to rest, Zhang Liao ordered people to go around to recruit the scattered soldiers of the Bingzhou army.

But as the horses from all over the place came back one after another, the echoes in their mouths made Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's hearts feel like falling into an ice cave, and they were cold.

"Captain Qiyu, all the battalions have been burned down by the Northern Army, the soldiers of each battalion are dead and scattered, only scorched earth is left in the camp, there is no one, no one can be called."

When Lu Bu heard the news, his face suddenly showed sadness and remorse.

After a night of fierce fighting, tens of thousands of soldiers are now left behind, which shows how heavy the casualties of their own side are in this battle.

But Lu Bu still didn't give up, he thought about waiting.

At this time, Zhang Liao persuaded Lu Budao, "The hearts of the people are scattered, they can no longer be used, the three armies are scattered, and it is extremely difficult to gather. If Zhang Fei and others lead the army to arrive, we will wait for the danger, and after a short rest, we need to set off immediately. ”

In the face of Zhang Liao's exhortation, although Lu Bu nodded in agreement, he did not move in the end.

He said to himself:

"I think that since my conquest, I have been invincible in the border counties of the state, and I have entered the Central Plains, and I have rarely met opponents, and the only one in the world who can fight me is Liu Jian and Zhang Fei's Hebei army......"

"Although I was also defeated by Liu Jian before, after all, it was because Hu Zhen was narrow-minded and deliberately deceived me, which led to the defeat of the army...... But I, I'm ...... I never thought that I could lead the army alone and suffer such a big defeat. ”

When he said this, Lu Bu's tiger eyes were faintly red, and his lips seemed to tremble a little.

But he finally knew that the man had tears and didn't flick, and as a famous general in Bingzhou, Lu Bu did not allow himself to show his cowardly side in front of others.

He quickly put his emotions back!

Lu Bu's lonely state fell in Zhang Liao's eyes.

Zhang Liao wanted to comfort him a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them back.

It's just that under such a big defeat, Zhang Liao didn't know how to comfort Lu Bu.

"Hiss......"

Zhang Liao suddenly had a painful expression on his face, and then reached out and touched his waist, and unconsciously, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed from his forehead.

Lu Bu was shocked when he saw this, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Liao waved his hand lightly and said: "Don't worry, it's okay, it's just that when he broke off last night, he fought with a general in Hebei, and he hit him in the back with the handle of his knife...... But luckily, I only had blunt trauma and was fine. ”

Hearing Zhang Liao say this, Lu Bu's face showed a surprised expression.

"Among the generals in Hebei, apart from Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang and others, there are still people who can hurt you?"

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly.

To be honest, he really didn't know why Liu Jian's command could have so many fierce men who could fight habitually.

In just a few years, Liu Jian's strength is almost equal to Dong Zhuo.

In this world, there is no second person who can do this.

"Alas, this time with the Hebei Army, although it was a stolen camp, but I have already found that the combat power of the Hebei Army is very different from the last time we met, especially that Zhang Fei, it seems that he has grown a lot, Liu Deran's subordinates, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight in the future......"

Zhang Liao turned his head and said to Lu Bu Zhengrong: "Du Wei's words are wrong. ”

Lu Bu looked at him in surprise.

Zhang Liao frowned and looked at Lu Bu: "Zhang Fei can grow, can't Du Wei?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Liao said: "Although the last official doesn't know what kind of person Zhang Fei is, he also knows that this person has a gap with Du Wei, and has a deep grudge against each other...... But what Zhang Fei can do, why can't Du Wei? ”

"Could it be that the lieutenant is so willing to be overtaken by him, and let the northern thief ride on his neck?"

"No matter what Captain Du thinks, I, Zhang Liao, am definitely not a person who rests on his laurels!"

"Seeing that the people and horses of Hebei are so majestic today, and there are many fierce generals, although I Zhang Liao is frightened in my heart, I am also very happy!"

"In this world, there will always be strong soldiers and fierce generals who can compete with us! What a blessing! ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was immediately moved.

He looked at Zhang Liao in a daze for a long time, and suddenly sighed.

"Wen Yuan is young, but his pride and ambition are far above me, over time, your skills and achievements will be far better than mine!"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "I never thought of these. ”

Lu Bu sighed: "Wen Yuan is right! ”

"That ring-eyed thief can change so far, and so can I, Lu Bu!"

"It's just that, according to Wenyuan's opinion, how should Lu exercise himself in the future...... Is it martial arts, or is it the ability to use soldiers? ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "If the commander really wants to change and not lose to that Zhang Fei, then according to the general, what the commander needs to change is not martial arts and soldiers, but vision and mind!" Du Wei can no longer regard himself as a martial artist on one side, but should look at the world with the perspective of the world, and taste the heroes of the world! ”

Lu Bu nodded slowly, he turned his head to look at the bottom of the hillside, and the soldiers who escaped from the ascension to heaven with him and survived slowly: "If it weren't for Bu's shallow knowledge, how could he make the sons suffer such a great disaster." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu seemed to suddenly remember something.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Liao and said strangely: "It's just that today I am fighting with Zhang Fei, and it is in danger, but that Zhang Fei seems to have deliberately let me go, I don't know why?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "If it was Zhang Fei in the past, would he do this? ”

Although Lu Bu didn't meet Zhang Fei much, he also knew through several fights with him that he was like fire and straightforward......

Zhang Liao arched his hand and said: "This may be where Zhang Fei has already improved, but since Zhang Fei has been refined, Du Wei can't lose to him, Du Wei should think carefully, why Zhang Fei acted like this today!" Don't lose to Zhang Fei! ”

Lu Bu frowned and sat down in place with a confused expression.

He looked up at the sky, a look of confusion in his eyes.

yes, why? Why did Zhang Fei deliberately let himself go......

"Captain, if you want to think about it, don't think about it here, please get on the horse, let's evacuate here and make plans while we go, how about it?"

Lu Bu nodded, and then turned on his horse with Zhang Liao, commanding the remnants of the defeated army to continue their escape journey.

The crowd galloped extremely fast, and after galloping for half a day, they stopped to rest after making sure that the pursuers would never catch up again.

Along the way, Lu Bu has been thinking about that question, why did Zhang Fei let himself go!

Now that Zhang Fei has grown, he can't lose to him!

Zhang Fei can transform, and he Lu Bu can naturally do it.

Lu Bu was thinking about the horse when he inadvertently turned his head and saw a bird's nest in the tree next to him.

And in the nest, there were young birds that fell from the tall trees.

One, two......

When Lu Bu looked up, he saw that the bird's nest was not attacked by birds of prey or animals!

Even in the nest, there were no adult males and females, so they flew out to forage for the children......

Suddenly, Lu Bu seemed to suddenly open his mind.

He figured out something in an instant!

"I see!"

Lu Bu muttered to himself and slowly said these four words.

……

……

In Lutan, tens of thousands of Hebei sergeants were cleaning the battlefield, counting the number of heads and prisoners, and verifying the captured baggage so that they could report to Liu Jian.

Last night was a fruitful one.

First of all, Liu Jian led the crowd to defeat the 20,000 elites of Lu Bu and Niu Fu.

Among them, 10,000 elites are Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, these soldiers will be the most elite troops under Lu Bu, and the rest of the Bingzhou army is still in Guanzhong, but when it comes to combat power and elite, compared to this army, it is really far behind.

But as far as Lu Bu himself is concerned, this battle can be said to have greatly damaged his vitality.

In addition, in addition to the great merit of breaking the enemy, in this battle, Lu Bu's Yuan Cong generals Wei Yue and Cheng Lian died in battle, which was not only a loss for Lu Bu, but even a huge loss for Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, the person who was shot under the horse by Huang Zhong with an arrow was Lu Bu's brother-in-law, Wei Xu!

This person is not only Lu Bu's general, but also his relative, and now he was shot and wounded by Huang Zhong, and he was captured alive, and he can definitely become a good bargaining chip for Liu Jian when he turns back.

And Yan Liang, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang and others also brought a big gift to Liu Jian.

That is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, who was captured alive by them and captured in front of Liu Jian by them when he entered the palace.

One is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and the other is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, both of whom are now captured alive by Liu Jian...... Now, Liu Jian can make a lot of money.

In this battle, Liu Jian defeated the powerful Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army with lightning speed, not only wiped out the crowd, but also killed the generals in his army, and also captured two important people......

But Liu Jian didn't seem to be interested in these things.

He just beckoned his good brother Zhang Fei to come to his tent and talk to him.

"Yide."

"Brother!"

Liu Jian rubbed his hands and smiled at the younger brother in front of him, who had become a qualified general, with a look of relief on his face.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Last night, I fought with the Bingzhou army, and I was responsible for containing Lu Bu...... It's just that someone told me that Lu Bu was in danger at that time, and you had already entangled Lu Bu, but at the last moment, you seemed to deliberately let him go...... Is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Fei groaned slightly, and then nodded very affirmatively: "Back to my brother's words!" There is such a thing! ”

"Why?"

Zhang Fei said very solemnly: "Actually, in Northern Xinjiang all these years, I have been commenting on major events in the world with Wen Ruogong, Brother Yun and others, and listening to them analyze the situation in the world...... According to my brother, at this time, Lu Bu must not die! ”

Liu Jian's face showed a look of relief.

"Yide!"

"Brother forgive sins!"

"Nonsense, what are you guilty of?! You can still have the general trend in mind on the battlefield, and you are very comforted by my brother's heart! ”
