The horse's hooves were so fast that the mud splashed up fell on Liu Bei's armor.

"Third brother, you..." Guan Yu complained and leaned forward, waving his sleeves and robe to wipe away the mud and dirt for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suddenly got excited, blocked Guan Yu's arm and said: "Second brother, hurry up and organize the army. We have to go and support him."

"Although the third brother is a bit reckless, his martial arts skills are not inferior to Guan's. Qiao Rui only sent two hundred soldiers to stop him. It's really a big mistake. Let the third brother try his best." Guan Yu raised his eyes with a hint of aloofness.

Out of the corner of the eye.

Liu Bei said with a serious face: "The third brother really wants to leave, but hundreds of soldiers can't stop him. I'm afraid he will risk his life or death..."

"That rainy night, my third brother once said..." Guan Yu was so shocked that his eyebrows trembled, and he quickly turned his horse's head to salute Liu Bei, "Brother, wait a moment, I will go to marshal the army right away."

Guan Yu had just turned around when he suddenly heard a horse neighing behind him.

Looking back, I couldn't help but be startled. It turned out that the bad-tempered elder brother had two swords in his hands and was chasing Zhang Fei alone.

The receding back figure is very much like the hero in the past when he was asking for the Yellow Turban.

Liu Bei had traveled less than a mile when he suddenly saw two riders in front of him, coming from the northeast. The black figure at the head seemed to be Zhang Fei.

"Brother...brother..."

Zhang Fei rode his horse and waved, his tone mixed with joy.

His eyes shone on the double swords, and his frowning face shone in the cold light.

Liu Bei said to himself: What is going on? Could it be that the third brother encountered an old friend?

The sound of hoofbeats stopped, and two horses arrived.

Liu Bei looked at the person who came curiously, and saw that the person was wearing ordinary armor, with immature features under the helmet and no beard, like a young general of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was sitting astride a horse. Compared with Zhang Fei, he could be estimated to be about seven meters long.

It can be described as "mediocre and unremarkable".

The visitor could hardly contain the excitement in his eyes. He clasped his fists and saluted early, and greeted him warmly: "I have met Liu Shijun, and I have heard about his name for a long time. Today I can see Tianyan. It is really three lives."

Fortunately."

"The general has been praised too much. Bei is deeply ashamed. Third brother, he is..." Liu Bei raised his hands politely and thought to himself, what on earth is going on? He turned his questioning eyes to Zhang Fei.

"The person I just met is Quhou, a subordinate of Naiqiao Rui. His surname is Long and his given name is Xiang. What is his surname...?" Zhang Fei looked at the man naively. (Quhou, a low-level officer in the Three Kingdoms era, commanded two hundred armies.

died)

Long Xiang cupped his fists and added: "The clouds are rising."

"Yes, yes, it's Yunqi. It's one word different from the second brother. I was hungry just now, so I didn't remember everything..." Zhang Fei scratched his head and smiled at Liu Bei.

"Since he is the Quhou of General Qiao, then why..." Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. Seeing that both Zhang Fei and Long Xiang looked relaxed, doubts sprouted in Liu Bei's heart.

Zhang Fei was waiting to explain when he saw Long Xiang falling from his horse, bowing his head in front of Liu Bei's horse, and replied sonorously: "Although Xiao Ke is in Huainan, my heart has been in love with the envoy for a long time. Recently, he went to Huaiyin with the army.

It is estimated that the envoy may take this route, so he is waiting for relief nearby."

Admiration, calculation, waiting, relief.

Every word seems to have a profound meaning. Although Long Xiang is not very old, his few words carry great weight.

The usually calm Liu Bei was very surprised. He immediately began to feel encouraged. Such a young Quhou under Qiao Rui appeared on his only way to retreat, but he behaved so humbly. Could it be that he was also from Hebei?

Or is it Qiao Rui’s conspiracy? How come we didn’t discover it in previous fights?

Long Xiang was able to gain Zhang Fei's trust in a short period of time and follow him on horseback alone. His courage and courage alone were enough for Liu Bei to treat him with courtesy.

Liu Bei immediately dismounted, helped Long Xiang up with both hands, and politely replied: "General Long, please get up. How can you be so virtuous as to..."

As soon as Long Xiang stood up with reverence, Liu Bei asked eagerly: "I don't know what the relief I just mentioned is..."

"Aren't we running out of food? General Long wants to provide some military rations." Zhang Fei answered quickly.

"Third brother..." Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and thought to himself, how could such top-secret military information as the food shortage be disclosed to outsiders so easily?

After he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression immediately turned 180 degrees. He grasped Long Xiang's wrist with both hands and asked kindly: "General Yunqi, are you serious about this?"

"The last general has brought enough rations with him. It should be able to solve your urgent need and support him to go to the west of Haixi for supplies. There will be no problem." Long Xiang nodded with certainty on his face, but in his heart he was shocked by the strength of the emperor's uncle's hands.

"Yunqi... Bei really doesn't know what to do..." Liu Bei's name for Long Xiang changed again and again, which showed how quickly his mood changed. It also showed the difficulty of his current situation. But after being overjoyed, he suddenly asked: "

Yun Qi is waiting here. When I mentioned Haixi just now, does it mean that Qiao Rui knows my intention?"

Long Xiang's hands turned red from being held, and he quickly shook his head and responded: "You can rest assured, General Qiao's main force is dozens of miles away from here, and he doesn't know what you mean. It's just a guess by Mr. Long."

Seeing that Long Xiang was acting strangely, Liu Bei quickly let go of his big hand and looked at him again with admiration.

"Yunqi Longxiang, the name and character of the king comes from the "Book of Han". She should be a queen of a famous family. I don't think Qiao Rui has hidden dragons and crouching tigers under his command. I am really ignorant..."

Long Xiang replied humbly: "I don't want to praise you, but the last general is actually from a military family in the capital of Guizhou. Haixi just guessed it by chance, it's just good luck..."

"This name? This word? Born in a military household?" Liu Bei looked suspicious.

"Alas, this matter..."

Just as Long Xiang was about to explain the reason, he suddenly saw a red flag waving in the distance from the gap between the horses. He clasped his fists to Liu Bei and said, "The food has been prepared, so you and the general can go and receive it first."

"Oh...very good..."

Liu Bei smiled and agreed. When he got on the horse, he looked at Zhang Fei and said to himself that with his third brother accompanying him, even if Long Xiang cheated, he could get away. He could go slower on the road for a while, and his second brother should prepare the troops and horses quickly.

.

Long Xiang got on the horse and was about to crack his whip, but Liu Bei suddenly stopped him and said: "It's less than a mile away, why don't we chat while walking? Yun Qi said that he came from a military family, and Bei was really puzzled..."

"That's fine." Long Xiang nodded calmly.

The three people and three horses were walking slowly. Long Xiang was sandwiched between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, explaining to them the origin of their names and characters.

When they reached the place where the grain was piled, only one officer holding the flag was left standing guard, while the rest of the soldiers had withdrawn one mile to the southeast.

The officer stared ahead with a serious face. When he saw Long Xiang and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was chatting and laughing, and his heart suddenly dropped. (Officer, a grassroots officer in the Three Kingdoms era, commanded one hundred soldiers, ranked in rank

below Quhou)

After Long Xiang waved his greetings, the officer bowed to everyone, then drove his horse and left the grain field.

Looking at the grain sacks piled up into a hill, Liu Bei finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. He pinched his clean jaw and was about to say something, when he heard the rapid hooves of horses behind him.

"Second brother is here." Zhang Fei reminded quickly.

Long Xiang looked back and saw that the general was holding the Green Dragon Sword and his long beard was waving in the wind. It was Guan Yu, the leader of the Five Tigers. He was indeed a majestic weapon and a man of heaven.

"Big brother, third brother..." Guan Yu shouted loudly while running.

"Second brother." Liu Bei waved his hand in response.

"Xu..."

Guan Yu pulled the reins back, and the horse immediately stopped on the spot. He glanced at the "mediocre" Long Xiang, and then greeted Liu Bei with fists in his hands: "Brother."

"Second brother, this is Long Xiang, Long Yunqi. If he hadn't helped in time, you and I, three brothers, might have starved to death in the wilderness." Liu Bei pointed at the people beside him and explained enthusiastically.

When Guan Yu was marching just now, he learned that Qiao Rui's troops suddenly retreated, and that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were traveling with a strange young general. He was afraid that something would happen to the two brothers, but when they got there, they realized that they were fine.

Nearly two thousand years later, when Long Xiang saw the real Guan Gong, he was so excited that he raised his fists and was speechless. He only said four words: "Hello, General Guan."

"Nice to meet you." Guan Yu responded with a slight nod. He had just seen the grain piled next to him and probably guessed what happened.

Just when Long Xiang wanted to say a few compliments, the officer who left just now waved his flag in the distance again, and everyone could see it clearly.

Guan Yu suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Long Xiang like a god of death, as if to say: How dare you to cheat in front of Guan?

Unexpectedly, Long Xiang's expression did not change. He smiled, clasped his fists at everyone, and said sternly: "Envoy, General Guan, and the three generals, all my subordinates are summoning each other. For fear of being suspicious, Long will leave first."

"Go..." Liu Bei looked regretful, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him had different expressions.

Long Xiang immediately pulled the reins and turned around, watching the red flag wave and heading away. Zhang Fei hurriedly dismounted and went to unpack the sacks containing grain. Perhaps he was so hungry that he grabbed a handful of rice and chewed it raw.

"Third brother, don't panic. Long Xiang's identity is unknown, and the two hundred people in Qiao Rui are also acting strangely. Be careful that there is a trick in the rice."

"Second brother is worried too much. Long Yunqi is sincere and praises me for looking like a heavenly being. I can rest assured if I eat his rice."

After hearing this, Guan Yu had a question mark on his face. He lowered his head and looked at his long beard. He thought to himself that Long Xiang didn't know this word. How could his third brother be praised for being like a heavenly being? He hadn't even praised himself like this just now.
