Liu Wei's meeting with Empress Dowager He this time was quite peaceful.

Rarely, Empress Dowager He asked about the outside and paid attention to the war in the imperial court.

even cared for Liu Wei for the first time, looking like a mother.

Liu Bian's heart was full of ancient wells without waves.

That's good.

The relationship between mother and son is like this, which makes him, a strange soul, feel uncomfortable.

……

当刘辩西归雒阳，朝廷接连开了数天大朝会，商讨稳定地方以及刘辩所谓的创业之时，南逃的吕布终于迎来了自由的空气，和鲜艳的朝阳。

It was a small village outside the city of Xiapi.

There are lofty mountains, dense trees and many unknown wild fruits, as well as a wide variety of mountain animals.

Lu Bu has been living here for four days.

He and Zhang Chao led people to build two thatched huts in the mountains, and went into the mountains every day to hunt and collect wild fruits.

Although it may sound a little harder, Lu Bu and Zhang Chao's archery skills are outstanding.

Not only did the group not go hungry, but they also saved a lot of jerky.

On this day, as soon as the morning dawn rose, Lu Bu had already entered the mountain with a bow and arrow.

By noon, he had walked down the forest with a bear on his back.

Halfway through, he met Chen Gong, who was lying on his back on the big bluestone and basking in the sun, and the wine gourd rested on the side of his chin, looking particularly comfortable.

"When I look at the public platform, I always feel like a complete layman."

With a muffled bang, Lu Bu threw the bear on the edge of the big bluestone, and he sat on it.

陈宫被这一声闷响吓了一跳，起身看了眼被吕布坐在的黑熊，笑道，“不俗的人却只能依靠俗人混一口吃食，奉先可莫要嫌弃才对啊。 ”

Lu Buhaha laughed, and said: "If there is no public platform, I would have already been hung on the gate of Yangzhai, don't dislike these two words public platform in the future, my life is yours." ”

"I have my own purpose too." Chen Gong's eyes drooped slightly, watching Lu Bu use a short halberd to deal with bear meat on the spot.

"I know that the friendship between you and me is not so deep, but the grace of saving lives is the grace of saving lives." Lu Bu said.

Chen Gong lay down on his back again, turned his face to the hot morning sun, and said, "We can go down the mountain now." ”

"The court's pursuers have retreated?" Lu Bu was a little surprised.

Although the days in the mountains were leisurely, they were not to his liking.

Chen Gong replied and said, "It should have been a few days since they retreated, and they didn't leave Yuzhou." I have inquired in the past two days, and the emperor has already been a teacher, counting the days, I am afraid that he has already arrived in Luoyang. ”

"After the emperor's division, the chasing soldiers shrank on all fronts, and it seems that they should have completely given up chasing and killing us."

Lu Bu stabbed the halberd into the bear's head, and said with a dangerous glint in his eyes: "The little emperor is actually a teacher. ”

"It's a matter of time." Chen Gong said.

“朝廷自去岁开始，便一直东征西讨，战事从未停止。”

"With the current situation in the land of Gyeonggi, how can there be so much money and food to support the war? The emperor has survived until now, and I think it's very incredible. Next, the imperial court will definitely have to recuperate for a while, and after the summer harvest next year, with the temperament of the little emperor, I am afraid that it will start a war against the princes again. ”

"However, this year, it should be a break."

Lu Bu snorted disdainfully and said, "The little emperor likes to charge people with some inexplicable crimes, and then raid his family and exterminate his family. The wealthy family in the Central Plains is like a forest, and now they are tossed by him, and they almost can't see a family for dozens of miles. ”

"The accumulation of tens of hundreds of years of heritage of those wealthy families is very deep. The emperor must have gotten a lot of money and grain by raiding those people and exterminating the clan, otherwise I would have known that it would be impossible to achieve enlightenment now with the grain stored in the land of Gyeonggi. ”

Chen Gong smiled and shook his head, "I really can't say that what the emperor did was wrong about this matter. ”

"If it were me, if someone wanted to beat me, I would definitely not let them go easily because they were coercion."

"As far as the current strategy of the imperial court is concerned, it is indeed very outrageous for the Hao clan to encroach on local fields. If the emperor doesn't kill a group of people, it's not easy to do, and I can really understand it. ”

Lu Bu didn't like Chen Gong to speak for the emperor, he pulled the halberd out of the bear's head with force, continued to peel the fur, and asked, "Next, where should we go from here?" ”

"The army of the imperial court has retreated, so I think it is better to attack Yingchuan directly. Backed by Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, find a way to form an alliance with them, and the tripartite army can work together to directly take Henan Yin, and the soldiers will come to the city of Luoyang. ”

Chen Gong opened his mouth, dumbfounded for a moment.

He didn't say it very well, but he really felt that Lu Bu was really whimsical.

"I inquired, and the imperial court has 10,000 troops at its disposal in Yingchuan." Chen Gong said silently.

Lu Bu looked stunned for a moment, and sneered proudly, "The emperor is guarding against me, who is the leader of the troops?" ”

Chen Gong: ......

A defeated general who had no soldiers and no pawns and fled in a panic, Chen Gong really couldn't understand what reason the imperial court had to guard against him?

However, he did not correct these irrelevant topics, but said: "The leader of the troops is said to be only a captain, named Yao Luo, I heard that he is a soldier trained by the emperor himself, and he is the leader in the Xiyuan army. ”

"It's just a little guy to worry about." Lu Bu said disdainfully, "It's just an army of 10,000, which is really a lot." ”

Chen Gong smiled silently.

He had to admit that Lu Bu really dared to think about it.

"Fengxian, our best choice now should be to defect to Xuzhou!" He said.

When Chen Gong was planning the escape route, he had already counted this point in it.

"You're talking about defection?" Lu Bu asked.

Chen Gong suddenly didn't want to speak.

He was silent for a long time before he nodded, "It's a defection." ”

Zhang Chao prepared a thousand soldiers and horses to respond, but the suspicious soldiers were repeatedly arranged along the way, and now there are only more than 300 people left.

What can a person do at this point?

Anyway, Chen Gong couldn't imagine what place he could seize with these people.

What if you don't defect?

"Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is humble and has no ambitions, if the general goes to defect, he should be very happy." Chen Gong said the path he had planned for Lu Bu a long time ago, "Yuan Shu and Liu Biao both have different aspirations, and if the general rushes there, he will be suspicious." ”

"The humble man just hides his suspicions deeper." Lu Bu said in a muffled voice.

He didn't know much about Tao Qian, he just knew this person.

The blind and arrogant demolition of the stage made Chen Gong suddenly feel a little disappointed in his heart.

"This is the best choice for the general." Chen Gong sat up, pointed to Xiapi City, which was faintly visible in the hazy light and shadow, and said, "The general defected to Tao Qian, gained his trust, and fought for the temporary shelter in Xiapi." At that time, Xuzhou soldiers can be recruited and make a comeback. ”

Lu Bu stood up and looked at it with his hands on his hips for a long time, "This city ...... It's a good place. ”

"It's a great place to make a comeback." Chen Gong said.

"When will you go?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and asked.

"How's tomorrow?" Chen Gong asked rhetorically.

Lu Bu thought for a while, "The day after tomorrow, I'll dispose of this bear and get some jerky." Go hunt another beast and give it to Tao Qian. ”

Chen Gong couldn't help but wonder.

This is a rare sentence in Lu Bu's mouth.

……

Perhaps, as Liu Wei said, some things are really fate.

When Lu Bu and Chen Gong were planning to meet Tao Qian and wanted to temporarily borrow Xiapi as a place to live.

Another person who has thousands of things to do with Xuzhou is gradually approaching Xuzhou at this moment.

After Liu Bei fought several battles with Gongsun Zan in Qingzhou, he was temporarily sent to help Qingzhou assassin Shi Tian Kai to resist Yuan Shao's crazy expansion of strength after he entered Jizhou.

The scale of the fighting was not large, it was only a few small battles, and it did not have a big impact on the situation on all sides.

Liu Bei's three brothers lived for more than a month, and then set off again.

They received a distress letter from Beihai Xiang Kong Rong.

The Yellow Turban Army was trapped in Beihai, and Beihai Xiang Kong Rong sent Tai Shici to ask Liu Bei for help in person.

The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army dispersed in a hurry when they learned that reinforcements from Beihai had arrived, and before they could fight.

Liu Bei led the army to go, basically just went through the motions, feasted with Kong Rong for three days, and ate three days of wine.

And it was at this time that the news of the imperial court's withdrawal came.

Without the suffocating pressure of the imperial army, Yuan Shao swelled almost instantly.

Yuan Shao, who was eager to pursue huge strength, bypassed Yanzhou, and then immediately used troops to the east, north, and south.

After Gongsun Zhan learned the news, he immediately ordered Liu Bei and Tian Kaitun to be stationed in Qi County to beware of Yuan Shao's northward movement.

At this time, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses to the south, the forward had already arrived in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was a little panicked, and after scolding Yuan Shao for being shameless, he had to ask for help everywhere.

Liu Bei and Tian Kai are also among them.

After receiving a letter of help sent by Tao Qian, Liu Bei was a little difficult.

In front of the low anti-brigade gate in Licheng, he said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Gongsun Bogui and I have great favors, and Tao Qian and I are also old acquaintances, but we only have more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, where should we go?" ”

Zhang Fei was humming and lifting the stone, and he was covered with big men, "Some little things, what is the trouble of my brother, just ask the grandson and uncle directly?" He told us to go, let's go! He won't let us go, so let's ...... It really shouldn't go. ”

Guan Yu nodded.

"Brother, Yide said the truth once rarely, we are using Gongsun Zhan's money and food to raise soldiers, and the armor is all from other people, so it stands to reason that we should listen to others."

"If Yuan Shao doesn't go north to attack Qi, we can lead the army south, whatever we want. But Yuan Shao has also used troops to the north now, and Qidi may be attacked at any time. ”

Liu Bei, who was entangled in his heart, nodded helplessly, "It seems that this is the only way." ”

"I'll repair a book, which of you two will take a trip and personally send it to Gongsun Bogui?"

With a bang, Zhang Fei threw the boulder of dozens of catties at his feet, "I'll go!" ”

"Staying in this small broken house all day, the stuffiness is about to suffocate people to death, and it is just time to go out to move your hands and feet."

"In this case, then the third brother will take a trip." Liu Bei said with a smile.

While he was talking, a man walked in outside.

"Liu Fujun, how about a drink?" Before the man could get closer, he cried out with a lump of meat in his hand.

Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh when he saw someone coming, "Where did Tianfujun come from?" ”

The person who entered the door was none other than Tian Kai, the Qingzhou assassin who was stationed in Qi County with Liu Bei.

"What do you come from, eat wine!" Tian Kai was hearty, and scolded with a smile when he heard the words.

Liu Bei sighed lightly, "I'm afraid that today will disturb Tian Fujun's Yaxing." ”

Tian Kai handed over the meat he brought to the guys of the reverse brigade to pick it up, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard by himself, and asked, "What makes Xuande depressed, why don't you tell me about it?" ”

Liu Bei took out the distress letter sent by Tao Qian, "For the affairs of Xuzhou and Qi County!" ”

"Oh, that's what happened." Tian Kai glanced at it and laughed, "Eat wine first, after eating, you and I will go to Xuzhou together, the soldiers and horses galloping to help Qi County are already on the way, Xuande doesn't have to worry." ”
