Under the clear and silent waters, there are swimming fish slowly passing by.

"Lang Jun knew that I died in the water, but he never saw it in person, so naturally he couldn't imagine my appearance at this time." Mei Niang's voice is still very gentle.

"So......" she thought for a moment, "are you a ghost?" ”

"I'm the spirit, because Taishan Mansion Jun has mercy on me, or I'm just a little thought in Lang Jun's heart, what's the difference?"

…… Who is Taishan Fujun? She wondered in confusion, why wasn't it Hades, or some god of death, but what Taishan Mansion King?

"Lang Jun has both a divine sword and magical powers, and there is no sub-person in the world, why hasn't he gone for a long time and stayed here?"

"I'm just a little tired," she immediately defended herself, "I've just finished a fight, and I'm a little tired." ”

Mei Niang seemed to smile silently.

"Lang Jun didn't have to have this battle," she asked, "Lang Jun, why did he fight?" ”

She suddenly opened her eyes.

The corpse of a young woman, presumably herself having died by throwing herself into the water, was so neatly dressed, and a pair of small silver earrings reflected a quiet and lovely light in the moonlight, and slowly folded to the bottom of the water.

Lu Xuanyu still sat there, looking at the woman motionlessly, her body seemed to be shrouded in that little light, so it also lit up with a light that zigzags and meanders like flowing water.

"You seem to have fallen asleep briefly, and I'm still thinking that you can't stay underwater for too long," Black Blade said, "How do you feel now?" 】

[Much better,] she struggled to move her limbs, "Let's go." 】

【Where to go?】 Blackblade asked, "What are you going to do?" 】

She broke through the water, and crawled out softly and silently, and the young woman had drifted slowly with the river in the direction where the moonlight was, and she stood by the bank of the river and looked again in that direction.

To save you.

She thought silently to herself.

…… To save a lot of you.

Chapter 112

The news of Cao Cao's expedition to Xu finally reached Qingzhou, so the busy plain city in spring was also silent for a moment, especially in the county capital.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat aside, followed by Jian Yong, Tian Yu, and Zhao Yun, they looked at each other, and then they looked at Liu Bei who was sitting in the upper seat with a tacit understanding.

Three days ago, Tao Qian's distress document Pegasus was delivered to Linzi, and Tian Kai immediately decided to send troops to Xuzhou after receiving the document.

Qingzhou is dilapidated, and there are not enough soldiers and horses, so Tian Kai in addition to Linzi soldiers and horses, and transferred back thousands of soldiers and horses temporarily borrowed from Liu Bei.

It's just that today, Tao Qian's other document was also sent to the county government of Pingyuan City.

Tao Qian hoped that Liu Bei would send troops, so he also wrote a letter to ask for help here, but it was only a few days late.

This presented Liu Bei with a problem, so he found his advisers and generals to hear their opinions.

"If you want to send troops, what is the strength of Cao's army, and what is the strength of our army?"

"Cao's troops are huge, and they have newly recruited tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers last year," Jian Yong pondered for a while, "but among them, I can't count more than 10,000." ”

It doesn't sound like a terrible number, but the reality is a bit discouraging to them.

"But Tian Qingzhou took away 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the generals led less than 2,000 troops, and there were many people without armor."

Among them, there are hundreds of soldiers who worked together with Lu Hangyu to defend Boling County, and when he thought of this, Zhang Fei suddenly spoke up again.

"There are also three hundred soldiers at Lu Xiaolangjun's place, and if they are in one place, they will be full of two thousand."

Liu Bei glanced at him with a slight reproach, "What does this Xuzhou matter have to do with him." ”

How difficult it was for those 300 soldiers to come, these people in Plains City also knew it. And on the battlefield of Xuzhou, don't say 300 people, it is 3,000 people, and they may not be able to block a blow in front of Cao Cao's army, how can they use the little money that others have worked hard to save to fight for that reputation?

After temporarily excluding Boquan's hundreds of troops, everyone still has to return to this question, to go, or not to go?

"Cao Cao's riots were two years and slaughtered Xuzhou. Tao Gongzu sent a letter to ask for a righteous teacher, how can I not go? ”

Jian Yong thought for a moment and threw out a question.

"Has the general ever thought about it, why didn't Tian Qingzhou invite the general to go with him?"

There was no bloody alliance between Tian Kai and Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian, and this alliance was loose and unstable. He took away the 5,000 soldiers, and the generals he used were all his cronies, and this behavior itself hid a hint: Tian Kai's purpose, Tian Kai's behavior, may not be consistent with Liu Bei, and for this purpose, he needs absolute control over the army.

Since he is a Xingyi teacher, why may it not match Liu Bei's expectations?

Liu Bei quickly figured this out, and was shocked, "Tian Kai also wants to make Xuzhou?" ”

"Taking advantage of the situation, this is also done by soldiers, why did the general do this?"

Then, Tao Qian's late letter has a special meaning, which can be regarded as a kind of Tao Qian's request, a guarantee of faith, or it can be regarded as the last cry for help in despair.

But this is completely a guess from Tao Qian's starting point, Tao Qian is hundreds of miles away in Xuzhou, and they are in Pingyuan City under Tian Kai's nose, so they always have to return to reality and see how the situation is for themselves.

"Cao Cao is powerful, Tao Qian and Tian Kai are working together, and they have not been able to repel Cao's army, not to mention the scale armor hidden in the abdomen, there is such a scheme?" Tian Yu said, "Our army is weak, if we act rashly, what is the fear of the next two eyes? ”

Guan Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the young scribe.

What's the concern? Who is afraid? It's just that sending troops will offend both Cao Cao and Tian Kai.

But this kind of talk has no effect on Guan Yu.

"Introspection is not guilty, why should the husband be worried?"

The husband walks in heaven and earth, and should be above board, even if he is in a desperate situation, if he asks himself if there is not the slightest guilt worthy of guilt in his life, where is there any fear!

Tian Yu was stunned by this sentence for a moment, but he already knew what kind of character the three brothers were about, so he immediately wanted to use something more realistic and more in front of him to continue to persuade them, at least temporarily to make their blood a little cooler and calmer.

"If you want to go to Xuzhou, you must first have enough food and soldiers, the plain city is so desolate, how to supply the general to fight this battle?" He said, "Could it be that the general wants to take away the clothes of the good and cheap in the city, but he can't eat in his mouth?" ”

The room was quiet for a moment, so the footsteps under the corridor became extremely clear, and Tian Yu unconsciously turned his head-

He saw a somewhat unfamiliar land hanging fish.

Although the young man said that he came from a humble background, it is said that he made a living by killing pigs before coming to Pingyuan City, but many habits are actually not like Qianshou, such as his clothes must be neat and tidy, he never sits and lies down, and he is a person who attaches great importance to his image.

But at this moment he was extremely embarrassed, half of his body was bloody, his face was covered with sweat, and locks of hair were sticking to his face.

He came from outside the county hall, and everyone knew him, and they did not stop him, and even the mud footprints in that place were left behind him, so that it was noticed that even his shoes were lost on the road.

Zhao Yun was the most keen, and immediately stood up, "What happened to Boquan?" ”

The boy shook his head.

"I'm coming back from Xuzhou." After she finished the first half of the sentence, she said the second half very abruptly, "The commander doesn't need to loot the people's wealth in the city, Boquan still has a lot of money and food, and I can give some to the commander." ”

What is the current situation in Xuzhou, this sentence is what many people want to ask, but they look at Lu Hangyu's eyes and feel that they don't need to ask anymore.

"How much food does Boquan have," Tian Yu worried, "can it supply thousands of soldiers and horses all the way?" ”

The young man turned his head to look at him, and a little dried aquatic grass on his face, mixed with blood, was clearly imprinted in Tian Yu's eyes.

"I have to go, which of the three comes first? Which comes first? ”

Is there anything more important than foot soldiers, foot food, ?

Is there anything that you have to fight for, even if you are starving, even if you are short of soldiers and major generals?

Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and finally stood up after the case.

"It's not a state thing." He said word by word, carefully speaking, "It's a matter of the world." ”

Since ancient times, there have been deaths, and the people have no faith and cannot stand.

So, where is the people's trust?

The foundation of the Han dynasty for four hundred years is not in Luoyang, not in Chang'an, not in the imperial court, not in the hands of the Son of Heaven!

How can we convince the people that there is still justice in this great man?

Everyone's eyes were on the lord of the upper position, and after a little thought, he swept his gaze from everyone's faces inch by inch, and finally stopped on Tian Yu's face, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Count the grain and grass, plan the baggage and carry the matter, and you will have to work hard for the country."

This sentence can hardly be regarded as a hint, but an explicit one, so Guan Zhang's eyes immediately showed brilliance, and Tian Yu only owed deeply.

"Yes."

Everyone already knew what Liu Bei was going to issue next.

Although it is just the light of fireflies, it may not be able to illuminate the world!

"Tomorrow morning, we will set off from the village," he said, "first to Beihai, and then south to Xuzhou." ”

"Yes!"

A group of people took their own orders and left, but when they arrived at Lu Hangyu, Liu Bei was really thinking about what work he could send him.

…… After all, Boquan's gossip, he also heard some from Yun Chang, there was everything, and he finally collected some Jizhou soldiers, but he only practiced for a few months. If he really wants to pull it out, he feels a little embarrassed by this child.

But the young man suddenly stepped forward, "Lord." ”

The lord was stunned by the shout, and his eyes looked at him a little dullly.

Lu Hangyu is different from others, although he always calls himself a "villain" and a "villain", but anyone can see that this young man is unruly and does not really recognize who is the master, so when he calls Liu Bei to his face, he always calls him "Ling Chang" according to the habits of the people in the city.

Of course, this kind of ranger spirit is not uncommon, most of the people around Liu Bei are from the Northland rangers, and even he himself has such a habit. Therefore, Lu Hangyu recruited troops in Boquan with a similar identity as a guest general, and Liu Bei did not stop him.

He is open-minded, and always feels that if he is a like-minded person, he will always come together, if he says goodbye in the middle of the way, although he regrets it, but there are too many regrets in the world, what is this one?

Except for the scribes such as Tian Yu, none of these brothers would have gone through a ceremony to pay allegiance to him.

But Lu Hangyu's expression was a little wrong now, so Liu Bei noticed a little nervousness, and made up for some of the things he didn't have.

For example, "entrusted to the king, the title of the book is in the book, and the show must die" and other pictures.

But Lu Hangyu's "commission" seemed to be completely different from that of others, she took off the long sword behind her back and handed it over.

Liu Bei was a little confused, but he still took it.

This is a good sword, without light and obscure, and has its own awe-inspiring atmosphere, but the sword boring is different from the sword seen in daily life, it is extraordinarily wider, and this sword is generally longer than an ordinary sword, so it always feels very uncomfortable to wield.

He took it in his hand, looked at it seriously, and then looked up at the boy.

"My sword isn't a very special sword," Lu Xuanyu's eyes were so serious, "but I've never let anyone else touch it." ”

So Liu Bei understood the meaning of his action and handed the long sword back.
