Chapter 24: Receiving Help (2)

At the same time, in the camp tent on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Liu Bei was wandering among them.

For some reason, he only felt a turmoil in his heart, as if there was always an invisible thread in front of him, so that he could not reach what he wanted.

"I don't know what happened to the second brother and the third brother, and how Kong Ming and Zilong ...... on their side"

Thinking so, Liu Bei planned to summon another guard over and send him out to investigate.

But at that moment, he heard a whoosh, and a sharp arrow pierced through his tent and shot straight at him.

Liu Bei's eyes were quick, and he immediately grabbed the sharp arrow, and then rolled on the spot, blocking his body with the table.

"Who is it?"

Shocked, he was about to use his Soul ability to summon someone to track down the Assassin, only to find that no more arrows were coming in.

He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the arrow in his hand, but found that the arrow was not even equipped with an arrow, only the body of the arrow, and on the body of the arrow, a strip of cloth was tied.

Liu Bei curiously spread out the strip of cloth, and there were only ten words written on it: Zhou Yu wants to kill Zhuge and return to Jiangxia quickly.

Seeing this trace, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei quickly stood up and ran out of the camp, but he looked around and saw no one.

This made him feel even more uneasy.

After thinking for a while, he summoned his own soldiers and ordered them to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp immediately and go to Nanping Mountain to support the military division.

After making these arrangements, Liu Bei was still not at ease, he rode a horse to inspect the camp for a week, and finally ordered the remaining soldiers and horses of the whole battalion, traveled lightly, abandoned the camp and set off, and returned to Jiangxia.

However, not long after he left the camp with his soldiers and horses, he ran into Lu Su's army head-on.

Looking at the "friendly army" in charge of Lu Suminghuo, as well as the famous generals such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zhou Tai in the army, Liu Bei's heart sank to the extreme.

"Zijing, why didn't you wait to chase after the Cao thief, but you came to me?" At a distance of about ten meters, Liu Bei reined in his horse, stopped moving forward, and asked loudly.

Seeing Liu Bei's movements, Lu Su narrowed his eyes.

He also noticed that Liu Bei was carrying fewer soldiers than they had originally expected.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Fei took away 10,000 soldiers and horses, Guan Yu only took 2 people, and there should be at least 10,000 people guarding Liu Bei's side.

As a result, there are now no more than 100 people.

Lu Su was a little confused about the reality of the other party, and after thinking about it, he decided to open his mouth to test it: "Xuande Gong, we heard that you asked General Guan and General Zhang to pursue Cao Thief, and we are worried that there will be insufficient guards around you for fear of being attacked by thieves, so we hereby ask you to follow us and go to the camp of the Metropolitan Governor to take refuge." ”

Although Liu Bei is a little reckless from time to time in order to revive the Han Dynasty, after all, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not understand the plan in Lu Su's words.

Hearing this, he directly threw the arrow tied with the strip of cloth in front of Lu Su, and asked loudly: "Is what is said on this strip of cloth true?" ”

Lu Su took the strip of cloth, opened it and looked at it, he was shocked, he didn't expect that this matter would be revealed so quickly.

However, after all, he was the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, and he quickly regained his composure when he encountered an accident.

After thinking about it, he replied loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor and Kong Ming are close friends, and they cherish each other, how can they kill him?" This must be a framing of Cao Thief's internal response, intending to separate our Sun and Liu families. Xuande Gong will follow me back to the Dadu Governor's camp, and the truth will be known at a glance. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled, he didn't say anything more, and immediately pulled out his male and female double-strand sword.

As soon as he heard Lu Su's words, he understood the other party's intention, which was to take advantage of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's departure and put them under house arrest, so as to order his subordinates.

"Alas...... Unexpectedly, it was really as Kong Ming expected......"

Before Kong Ming left, he reminded him that he should be careful of the Jiangdong Army's backlash, and he must keep at least one of Zilong, Yide, and Yunchang by his side, or, if there are no above three, at least 10,000 elite soldiers must be left.

But he was still stubborn, and sent them all out, so that there was no one around at this time.

"It's just a pity that the hundred siblings who follow me, if you want to fight your way out of the encirclement here, I'm afraid you will lose most of ......"

Liu Bei thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but regret it a little, he had always been like this, he cared more about the people he was sheltering than his own safety.

And on Lu Su's side, when he saw Liu Bei pull out the male and female double-strand swords, he already knew that they had no way out.

Although I don't know who wrote this strip of cloth, but at the moment, it seems that this Liu Bei believed what the strip said, and sent the remaining 10,000 elite soldiers to Nanping Mountain to save Zhuge Liang, which gave them such a god-given opportunity.

"Sure enough, the destiny is in my Jiangdong!"

Lu Su thought so, beckoned, and motioned to Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zhou Taice to step forward immediately and capture Liu Beisheng, who was alone.

However, at this time, a continuous burst of explosions suddenly sounded in Lu Su's army, and countless bright fireworks exploded under their feet, causing everyone to roll on their backs, and the scene was full of smoke and dust.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was stunned, and then he heard a crisp voice in his ear: "Xuande Gong, come with me." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned again, but before he could react, his horse was slapped by the woman and led him into the woods.

However, before they could escape far, Liu Bei stopped his horse and said, "Wait! And my 100 siblings! ”

"At this time, how can I have time to take care of your guards!"

When the woman heard Liu Bei's words, she was immediately angry.

She wanted to turn her head away and stop caring about this idiot.

But seeing that he was still obsessed with the intention of returning, he could only sigh and put his hand on the reins of his horse.

"You fool! If you don't go back, Lu Su and Zhou Yu won't be able to catch you, and they won't dare to attack your guards. But once you go back and get caught, all your hundred guards will be dead! ”

Hearing this woman's words, Liu Bei suddenly realized, thought about it, and said, "What you said does make sense. I understand...... Shangxiang, thank you. ”

After a pause, Liu Bei asked again, "It's just ...... How did you end up here? ”

The woman who was called Shangxiang by Liu Bei heard this, but she didn't rush to answer, she put her finger on her lips and motioned for Liu Bei not to speak.

Then she pulled the two horses out of the woods, slapped them on the buttocks, and sent them to run west.

After doing all this, she returned to Liu Bei's side and said:

"You are the husband that my Sun Shangxiang recognizes."

"I know that my husband is in trouble, so I came here to save him, why not?"
