Xu Shu walked out of the county office and thought, "Sure enough, it's him! If it weren't for him, I would have taken off Liu Bei and Kong Ming's heads, and God really won't help me!"

He returned in vain, went to see Cao Cao, and said: "Liu Bei refuses to surrender, and the lord can quickly march to Fancheng." ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Cross the river and attack Fancheng on the same day, and the people in the city, regardless of men, women, and children, will be killed!"

Since the two cities were separated by the White River, and the water was fast, he ordered the soldiers to cross the river while filling it in.

That night, Xu Shu secretly summoned several lieutenants of the White Tiger Team and said, "In order to preserve our strength, I have asked the prime minister to withdraw the large army to the headquarters, leaving only 500 people, including you. Although the First Battle of Shinno caused heavy casualties to our troops, our mission continued. I have confirmed with my own eyes in Fancheng that the kid has returned to Liu Bei. Last time, because the fire was too big, we evacuated early and let it escape, this time, you must find a way to take his life and avenge the death of the leader of the Heavenly Wind and his dead brothers!"

"Yes!" the lieutenants said in unison, "we will definitely complete the mission to the death!"

Liu Feng led people to assist Sun Qian and Jian Yong to post lists everywhere in the city, and there were countless people watching the list, and the people were talking about it. In order to avoid causing a big panic, Liu Feng personally went to various places to explain and relieve the tension of the public.

After posting all the list articles, Sun Qian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your help, Liu Gongzi, you are still quite responsible, and Ling Zunzhen is proud of you." ”

Liu Feng waved his hand and said: "What is within the division, why worry about it." I've been in this small county for a long time, and I always want to go out to do something big, and it just so happens that Uncle Liu Huang is here, and I plan to follow him, so naturally I have to behave better. ”

Jian Yong said: "Uncle Huang's popularity is indeed very good, and the common people love him, which is in stark contrast to Cao Cao. ”

"So you all follow him with all your hearts. Liu Feng said with a smile. In fact, since the last time he competed with Zhao Yun, he has been looking for an opportunity to worship him as a teacher, but he can't find the right time.

The next day, everyone escorted Liu Bei to the riverside. At this time, the place was full of people, and when they saw Liu Bei coming, they knelt down and said, "We would rather die than sacrifice our lives to follow the envoy!"

Seeing that everyone embraced him so much, Liu Bei couldn't help but stain his brocade robe with tears, and said: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, Liu is incompetent, he is not defeated by Cao Cao, and he has to burden everyone, what face will be left in the world!"

After that, he wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. Zhiming stopped him and said, "Uncle Huang, didn't you say, 'Share happiness and hardship'? If you go like this, how can you be worthy of us loyal soldiers! How can you be worthy of the people of the two counties! How can you be worthy of the people of the Han Dynasty!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei ran over and bowed to the ground together. Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, don't forget the Taoyuan righteousness of the three of us! If the eldest brother jumps, we will also jump down!"

Guan Yu also said: "Big brother, don't blame us for talking too much, if you want to die, we will die together!"

Liu Mi and Liu Feng also helped persuade them. Liu Bei heard all this, looked at the thousands of sincere faces, and immediately burst into gratitude, and said, "Everyone, please get up, please get up." ”

"If the eldest brother doesn't get on the boat, we can't afford to kneel!" Guan Yu and Zhang Feiqi said.

The people also shouted in unison, "If you don't get on the boat, I can't afford to kneel for the chief!"

Kong Ming said: "Lord, get on the boat quickly, don't let everyone suffer." We haven't lost yet. ”

Liu Bei got on the boat with tears in his eyes with the support of his left and right. The crowd got up and boarded the boat.

Due to the large number of people, everyone can only follow the principle of women and children, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled first. While every boat was packed, there were fifty or sixty able-bodied young men standing on the shore. In fact, they have a chance to escape from the path, but no one wants to survive, and they would rather stay and fight the enemy to the death.

Liu Bei still wanted to continue to carry people, but Sun Gan whispered: "Uncle Huang, you can't get on it anymore, it's already seriously overloaded, I'm afraid that the ship will leak before it docks, and the shipwreck will be over." ”

Liu Bei could only agree. He looked at it and found that Zhiming was missing, and when he saw that Zhiming was also in the crowd on the shore, he called his name.

"Take care, my lord, I have decided to stay and fight!" Zhiming clenched his fists and said loudly. The main purpose of his choice to stay was to confirm the true identity of the fake Xu Shu and then try to get rid of it.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, and they both jumped up from the boat and jumped ashore.

Zhiming was stunned. Zhang Fei winked at him and said, "You kid dare to stay, why don't we dare!"

Zhao Yun also jumped ashore and said, "You all stayed, what reason do I have to stay on the boat!"

"Okay, the four of us will stay and slaughter Cao Cao's old man!" Zhang Fei said excitedly.

"No!" Zhiming shook his head, "We all stay, who will protect the lord? Who will protect the two ladies? Who will protect the Kong Ming military division? You better get on the boat, it is enough for me to stay alone, besides, there are so many strong men to accompany me." ”

"No, you must leave someone with you to take care of everything. Guan Yu said, "Third brother, Zilong, you get on the boat, I will stay and fight with Zhiming, and then I will go to Xiangyang to meet you." ”

Zhang Fei was obviously reluctant. Guan Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it, you guys should leave quickly." ”

"Then you guys be careful, we'll see you in Xiangyang!" Zhao Yun pulled Zhang Fei on the boat together.

"You must protect my eldest brother!" Guan Yu said to the soldiers on the ship.

The soldiers nodded and said goodbye. So, the flotilla moved slowly. People on the boat and on the shore waved goodbye to each other, and the family was forced to separate from each other. The warriors on the shore are ready to fight Cao Jun to the death, which may be the greatest glory before the end of their lives.

The people on board cried. Seeing this situation, Liu Bei's heart was like a knife. He blamed himself deeply, hated himself for being weak and incompetent, unable to protect his people, and regretted not accepting Liu Biao's bequest. If he had been able to let go of his principles of being a human being, he would not have had to fall to such a point today, and the soldiers and the people would not have to suffer, because of his stubbornness, which caused today's situation. He hid his face and wept, tears pouring down like a waterfall, unable to help himself.

Kong Ming felt uncomfortable at the moment, as Liu Beijun's military advisor, although he commanded the army to win two games in a row, he still had to flee with everyone for his life, and he had to watch some people who admired him on weekdays to die. He regretted that he had not forced Liu Bei to take over Jingzhou.

The flotilla faded away. Suddenly, a woman on the boat stood up, holding the baby in her hand, and shouted on the other side: "Ah Chu, you must be safe! Xiao Sheng can't live without his father!"

Ah Chu on the shore replied loudly: "Alan, you have to take good care of Xiao Sheng! I will definitely go over to find you!"

"You must not die!" said Alain, and the baby began to cry.

"Don't worry, I won't die, you wait for me! I will always love you!" Ah Chu estimated that he would not escape death, so he conveyed his last love to his wife and children.

Unfortunately, his voice grew smaller as the fleet faded.

When Zhiming heard Ah Chu shouting Ah Ran, he couldn't help but think of his sister, Ah Chu seemed to be himself at this moment, wanting to stay away from his family and go to the battlefield.

Ah Chu saw that his wife and children were gone, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. Although men don't flick when they have tears, but people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless?

The person next to him comforted him: "Don't cry, we are all the same, connected by the same fate." ”

Zhiming walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Ah Chu, Ling Zheng's name is Alain, and the sister-in-law is also called Alain, although they have left us, we should not be too sad, we must cheer up and fight the enemy together!

Ah Chu was infected, wiped away his tears, clasped his hand and said, "Good brother, let's work together!"

Zhiming raised his arms and shouted: "Let's work together and swear to kill Cao Jun until death!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Swear to kill Cao Jun until death!"

Guan Yu held the Qinglong Glaive Knife high and said, "This big knife of mine was originally created to kill the Yellow Turban Thief, but now it is dedicated to killing Cao Jun. Since everyone is a tough guy who is not afraid of death, please go home and pick up your weapons and go with me to kill the enemy! Cao Jun is also a mortal, so we don't have to be afraid! If you meet Cao Cao, don't ask too much, take off his head and throw it into the river to feed the fish!"

"Good!" the strong men said in unison, "I am willing to fight the enemy with General Guan!"

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Since everyone has joined forces, let's gather under the north gate in an hour." ”

The strong men disbanded one after another and went home to fight. Ah Chu found a nail rake and said to the sky: "Alan, you must raise Xiaosheng as an adult, I may not be able to go back, I'm sorry!"

A nearby wine seller picked up a jar of wine, smashed it on the ground, and scolded: "Damn, if I don't kill him today, I won't be able to live enough!"

Ah Chu ran over and said, "Brother wine, don't waste this wine today, instead of letting Cao Jun spoil it, it's better to let the brothers drink it happily!"

The wine seller nodded, and shouted at the people around him: "Everyone, come on, there is high-quality wine here, everyone has drunk and has the strength to kill the enemy!"

The strong men gathered around, one of them picked up a jar of wine, and poured it into his stomach, and he broke his vows today without drinking a drop of wine.

Ah Chu also put down his weapon for the time being and drank bitterly. He would rather die drunk on the battlefield than fall awake.

Guan Yu and Zhiming had been waiting under the north gate, and someone came to ask them to drink together, but they were refused.

After drinking, the strong men broke the wine jar one after another, and they were all full of energy. Ah Chu, who is not accustomed to alcohol, only feels that the world is spinning at the moment, but his subconscious is very clear. The effect of alcohol made him temporarily forget the pain of being away from his wife and children, and only had the heart of killing the enemy to serve the country.

There was no one else in the city, only a handful of birds and domestic animals that could not moan. Dogs bark wildly in the streets, as if to herald the arrival of bad omens. Cao's army is coming, the wolf smoke will rise again, and the flames of war will be ignited again in silence.

An hour later, the strong men arrived one after another, and there were many of them. Iron forks, shovels, hoes, nail rakes and other ordinary agricultural tools have now become weapons. The crowd was drunk and stood still under the city gates, staring intently ahead, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army. Their hearts are free from distractions, they are not afraid of death, and they share hatred for their enemies.

At dusk, Guan Yu went to the city tower and looked into the distance, and found that the dust was rising in the distance, the flags were fluttering, and the sound of people shouting and neighing came into everyone's ears from far and near. The strong men who had not yet drunk roared angrily and prepared to fight.

Cao Jun came overwhelmingly, and when he was more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, he stopped. Cao Cao took the lead, holding a long whip in his hand, full of domineering, and Xu Shu was beside him.

Guan Yu came out of the battle and said angrily: "Prime Minister Cao, why do you have to put my eldest brother to death?"

Cao Cao pointed at the other party and said, "Yun Chang, I have been kind to you, have you forgotten? If you are willing to surrender now, I will protect you with glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"

"Phew!" Guan Yu spat out, "That's right, you did have been kind to me, but I have already repaid the favor, and you and I have already cleared up." You are a Han Xiang, but you are actually a thief, and you actually crusade against my eldest brother in the name of the Son of Heaven, you are the authentic rebel!"

"Yun Chang, Yun Chang, you have a good martial arts, and you can't defeat my tens of thousands of troops! I advise you to go back and persuade Liu Bei and let him surrender as soon as possible!"

"Fart!" Guan Yu was furious, "My eldest brother would rather die than surrender to the Han thief!" Tell you, my eldest brother and Kong Ming's military division have already led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians across the river, and I am the only one left here, ready to fight you to the death!"

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "they will go to Xiangyang." Don't they know that Xiangyang is now under the jurisdiction of the old man?"

"No matter what, we must be defeated now before we can pass through this city!" Guan Yu raised his sword and shouted.

One of Cao's troops came out in response, it was Xiahou Yuan. Guan Yu slapped the horse and danced the knife to face the battle. The two battled each other for nearly twenty rounds, evenly matched.

Xiahou Yuan used the trick "Shadow Ghost Eye Knife" to create a phantom to confuse the other party. Guan Yu sneered, swung the Qinglong Knife diagonally upward, and cracked the illusion with the momentum of slashing the wind and splitting the clouds.

Xiahou Yuan was broken by his tricks, his fighting spirit gradually lost, and he was gradually defeated. Seeing this, Zhang He rushed out to help.

Seeing that someone came to help, Xiahou Yuan's fighting spirit was rekindled, and he and Zhang He adopted a pinch-attack tactic to take the other side directly. Guan Yu was not afraid and coped with it.

After more than a dozen rounds, Guan Yu suddenly used the sword picking technique, and in an instant, the weapons of the two were blown away. The two men who lost their weapons hurried back to their positions.

Then, four soldiers of the White Tigers rode out on horseback. One person rushed to the front, suddenly jumped up from the horse, flew above Guan Yu, drew his knife and stabbed down.

Guan Yu stabbed upwards with a swift sword, piercing his body, and the tip of the opponent's knife was only a foot away from him, and then, he threw the big knife forward, and the soldier was thrown out, knocking the other three people away.

Cao Jun was shocked, but he didn't expect that even the soldiers of the White Tiger Team would be vulnerable in front of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu said to the people behind him: "Warriors, don't do it now, let alone when!"

As a result, the strong men raised their weapons one after another and shouted in unison. Cao Cao ordered the army to encircle and suppress the enemy.
