"My lord, I have found the old lady and them, they are now taking refuge in a valley, my lord come with me. When Liu Fan was hurrying overnight, he met Bao Ren who was rushing over, and Bao Ren didn't care about his exhaustion, turned around and led the way in front, and the Explosive Flame Devouring Spirit Beast, which was originally listless, instantly recovered his spirit.

The stars of the night flickered like a gaze, Qinshan, a canyon in the vast mountains was hiding more than 200,000 troops, Su Hu's garrison followed Guo Jia out and escorted the people of the Liu family all the way to Yizhou, because the escape was in a hurry, there was not enough food and grass supply in the team, and the army could only go to a county town to rely on the nobles who had fled from the Liu family and the Xia family to sell and buy food to supply the army. Now the only money and food we have are running out, or the army will run out of food in two or three days.

When Liu Fan followed Bao Ren to the camp, Liu Yu and Xia Tielin, Guo Jia and others were discussing the military situation in the big tent, and it had been almost more than half a month since they fled from the imperial capital, and the formation of the army was not fast.

"I wonder if we are now stationed here for a while? The soldiers who have been rushing for days are tired, and there is resistance in the hearts of our brothers. Su Hu was also tired, and he didn't dare to rest when he came out with the army from the Tiger Prison Pass. The garrison of Tiger Prison Pass did not know what reason left Tiger Prison Pass, and now there are many complaints in the army.

Liu Yu frowned and looked at the map, although there was no army blocking the road here. But they were terrified if they didn't pass by a city, and when Su Hu said this, he also discovered the recent rumors in the army, the Liu family had betrayed the empire, and now they were preparing to flee the empire with them. didn't wait for Liu Yu to speak. The sergeant outside became noisy, everyone glanced at each other, Su Hu walked out, and it didn't take long for the noise outside not to stop, but to get louder and louder.

Before Xia Tielin and Liu Yu could react, Liu Fan opened the big tent and walked in accompanied by Su Hu. Then all kinds of complicated expressions appeared on everyone's faces. In particular, the expressions on the faces of Liu Yu and Xia Tielin were more complicated.

"Meet my grandfather, father-in-law. Liu Fan walked in, saw the mental state of Liu Yu and Xia Tielin, and immediately understood the current situation of the two, as soon as they entered the camp, although there were more than 200,000 troops to escort them, the situation was not very good. The morale of the soldiers was low, and the defense of the barracks was not well done.

Liu Yu's expression paused, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Liu Fan's side, and tears flowed down unconsciously: "It's good to come back." It's good to come back, when you come back, there will be a backbone in the family. ”

"Grandfather, what happened? Are they okay with my mother?" Liu Fan looked at the officers in the barracks, and Liu Fan didn't know a few at all. Not from the Praetorian Guard, nor from the Liu family and the Xia family.

"They're all good. But the others, gone. There are few left. Liu Yu sat on the seat weakly, he could still hold on to it since Liu Fan appeared and breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down weakly, Xia Tielin also sighed and sat next to Liu Yu.

The big tent was opened, Liu Xiaohuan appeared in the big tent under the escort of the Fan sisters, He Ying and Xia Xuelian followed behind, everyone saw the expression on Liu Fan's face just paused and pounced, lying in Liu Fan's arms and crying, especially Xia Xuelian and He Ying cried the most. Liu Xiaohuan leaned on Liu Fan's shoulder and cried with a whimper.

"Don't cry, now we have more important things to solve, you go back first, I'll let Fan'er go to see you later." Liu Yu stood up and drove everyone out, now is not the time to cry, the army's morale is already low, if they cry like this, the morale that they have gathered so hard will be cried. ...,

"Mother, you go back first, I'll settle the matter here first, and I'll go to see you. Liu Fan comforted the three of them a few words, and the three of them nodded and walked out.

Before the figures of the three of them disappeared from the big tent, Zhu Mingyu and Bao Chunlai walked in together, and Liu Fan and Zhu Mingyu saw each other again, and both of them had a feeling of being speechless. And Bao Chun came and went crying and knelt at Liu Fan's feet: "All are unified, dead, all dead!"

"Bao Chunlai, get up, hurry up, who is dead?" Liu Fan pulled Bao Chunlai up, and Bao Chunlai's cry made Zhu Mingyu, who had been gritting his teeth and insisting, cry out.

"Dead, your brigade and my brigade, less than a thousand people survived, and the entire 20,000 brothers plus 25,000 people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division died to cover our escape. Zhu Mingyu stood in front of Liu Fan, clasped his hands into fists, his tone was very angry, and he gritted his teeth tightly to prevent his tears from flowing.

"Tell me what's going on? Weishenme, what's going on, who's dead?"

Liu Yu beckoned, and Liu Fan slowly walked to Liu Yu's side and sat down beside Liu Yu. Liu Yu told Liu Fan what happened in the imperial capital and all the things along the way, including the help of the Liu family with the help of the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and Guo Jia's persuasion of Su Hu of the Tiger Prison Pass garrison, and the predicament that the Liu family is facing now. He also told Liu Fan about the people who died along the way in order to escape from the imperial capital, and Liu Fan was also heartbroken when he listened.

"This damn Zhang Rang, is he going to kill our Liu family? Brother Weishenme, they are all dead? Damn, Zhang Rang Weishenme wants to do this. Liu Fan's heart was furious, among his elder brothers, only the crippled Liu Long and Liu Ming, who had a somewhat inflexible mind, were all dead. Even Liu Fan's eldest brother Xia Xueyan and Hu Yanhu were all dead.

"Lord, we must find a foothold in today's plan, now our army is demoralized, we have reached the Yuzhou level, as long as we pass Yuzhou, we can enter Yizhou, now I am worried about the assassination history of Yuzhou and whether the general of Yuzhou Town Guard accepts Zhang Rang's order to let us pass safely. Guo Jia stood next to him and didn't speak, and when everyone finished speaking, Guo Jia frowned and pointed to the map and said.

Liu Fan shook his head solemnly and said: "There is no need to go to Yizhou, the civil and military marquis of Yizhou has been assassinated, and we can't enter Yizhou at all, the uncontrolled army in Yizhou has been wiped out by the Sea Clan, and the rest of the army has already taken refuge in Zhang Rang, and we are going to throw ourselves into the net." ”

"If Yizhou can't work, we will go south, go to Jiaozhou to join the two of Liewuhou and Fengwuhou, these two are friends with us, and the troops in our hands can also protect us, as long as we can ease up, we can make a comeback. Xia Tielin's face changed, and he quickly returned to normal, he didn't expect that the Wenwu Hou of Yizhou would be assassinated, and the troops of the Wenwu Hou had been controlled by Zhang Rang.

Liu Fan shook his head and said: "This is not good, on the way here, I heard the news that the Liewu Marquis and Fengwu Marquis in the south, and the Tianwu Marquis in the west, have all been defeated, and now they have suffered heavy losses, and they can't protect themselves." I also received news that the Empire began to want us, and we are all wanted by the Empire now, and so are the Eight Great Martial Marquis, who have also been stripped of their titles and entered the slavery status. ”

The expressions on everyone's faces were stunned, they were only concerned about fleeing for their lives in the past few days, and there was no source of news at all, but they didn't expect that in just a few days, such a big thing happened in the empire. The corps of the Liewu Marquis and the Fengwu Marquis in the south were actually defeated by the demon clan, and the Tianwu Marquis corps in the west was also defeated, and they were defeated cleanly. What surprised everyone even more was that everyone became wanted criminals of the empire overnight, and the two kings and the eight martial marquis became wanted criminals of the empire. ...,

"Where did you get this news from?" Liu Yu looked at Liu Fan in disbelief, and still couldn't accept it in his heart, usually high up, the West King and the East King, who were one of the four kings of the empire, became wanted criminals in the empire, and what was even more unacceptable was that the Eight Martial Marquis had all become wanted criminals, what did Zhang Rang want to do, he wanted to destroy the foundation of the empire's rule!

"The news is absolutely reliable, now that we have become the most wanted criminals of the Empire, we may not be able to pass Yuzhou, and it is unlikely that we will go south and merge with the state. Liu Fan shook his head and frowned at the map, the most worrying thing still happened, Liu Fan did not follow the base now, and he became a wandering army, so that the troops that had been gathered together in a few days would soon collapse.

"Lord, we only have one way to go now, from Yuzhou to Qingzhou, where we still have Zhu You's 200,000 troops available. Guo Jia quickly analyzed the previous form, and now the only army that can be used is the troops of Qingzhou General Zhu You, and when he arrives, Qingzhou will have a base area, and there is no problem with a base area.

Before Liu Fan could speak, Guo Jia shook his head again and said: "No, Qingzhou is short of food, and now the food crisis can only be self-sufficient, rashly entering Qingzhou with an army of more than 200,000 under his command, the problem of insufficient grain and grass will be more serious, Qingzhou is not good, we are now in Yuzhou, Dong Zhuo's troops are in the north, and they have passed through Yangzhou in the south, and Xuzhou has entered Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Yangzhou." ”

Guo Jia's self-talk made everyone hesitate for a while, Guo Jia's head suddenly turned heavily on the map, and a fine light flashed in his eyes: "Lord, go south, we choose to go south, we go south to Yangzhou, Yangzhou has been a rich land since ancient times, and there are canals and Jingzhou, Xuzhou, a major grain-producing area, will be connected first, and we can get enough grain and grass supply." Moreover, Yangzhou's military strength is weak, which is suitable for us to occupy Yangzhou for a long time. ”

Guo Jia's words surprised everyone, what does Guo Jia mean by this, is the arrival of the warlord era? Seize Yangzhou, is this the beginning of the warlord? Liu Fan looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia's eyes flashed a gleam, nodded to Liu Fan, and his eyes were telling Liu Fan that now is the time for you to become a warlord.

"Okay, let's go south to Yangzhou and seize the place in Yangzhou!" Liu Fan said ruthlessly, go south to Yangzhou, occupy Yangzhou to recruit troops and horses, and attack the imperial capital! (Welcome to your support, is my biggest motivation.) )
