Chapter 41 The calm before the war (1)
After following Liu Bei to Xinye City for ten days. Since he saw the battle between Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, Zhou Yukun was very eager, so he gave advice to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei every day, hoping to learn something. Guan and Zhang were not stingy with Zhou Yukun and often accompanied him to train.
However, the consequence of this situation was that Yuan Xinwen, who was neglected, was very angry. Yes, she was very angry. Because after she returned to Wu Kingdom and found Zhou Yukun, she had not had much time to be alone with him, and she still had many questions to ask him to solve her doubts [31 Novel Network
On this day, Liu Bei suddenly called everyone together. Zhou Yukun was surprised to find that there were so many people around him at some point, and only one of them had met Zhou Cang. After Liu Bei's introduction, Zhou Yukun also remembered them. There were three people who looked like counselors, Xu Shu, Jian Yong, and Sun Gan; there were two generals Guan Ping and Liu Feng.
"This time I called everyone to come, mainly to tell you a big event that has happened recently. Cao Cao had already killed Yuan Shao five days ago and won a great victory. During these five days, he led his troops to clean up the remaining party within Yuan Shao's jurisdiction, and it is expected that the north will be completely unified within these two days." Liu Bei showed a serious expression abnormally.
Xu Shu asked with a serious face: "Master, what do you mean..."
Liu Bei nodded: "Yes, given my hatred with Cao Cao, he expected that he would lead his troops south soon. And my Xinye City is at the border of Cao Cao's territory, and he appeared under the city in almost a blink of an eye. My Xinye City is originally a temporary residence that Liu Biao lent me to live, and there are only a few thousand soldiers. How can I resist Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops?"
Zhou Yukun looked at Liu Bei with surprise. He didn't expect that Cao Cao, who looked unreasonable, was so powerful that he wiped out Yuan Shao in just a few days. What Zhou Yukun couldn't guess was that Cao Cao's first achievement in this battle should actually belong to him.
Sun Gan suggested: "Lord, otherwise we will retreat for the time being to avoid Cao Cao's edge."
"Retreat? No matter where we can withdraw, even if we can leave, do you want to leave the city and escape like in history? We fight to the death, and they are the ones who have killed or injured. In the end, wouldn't it be the cart before the horse?" Liu Bei frowned and rejected his proposal.
Xu Shu actually persuaded: "My lord, I also recommend evacuation. However, evacuation cannot be evacuated blindly. We can secretly let the people leave in secret. On the surface, we have to fight to the end and fight with them like we are swearing to the death to the end, and get enough time for the people to evacuate. When the people leave safely, we will evacuate quickly. Cao Cao will definitely be suspicious at first and dare not pursue them. When he wakes up, we will run a long way!"
Liu Bei thought hard in a dilemma. "The plan is very good, but I still have two questions. First, where is our evacuation destination? We can't run around and leave the people without a stable place; second, I have mentioned before that our troops are insufficient and only a few thousand, how can we deal with Cao Cao's elite cavalry?"
Xu Shu smiled slightly and said, "I have already thought of these two points of lord. First, we can send someone to Jingzhou City as lobbyists. I believe that Liu Biao will not ignore his people. As for the second most important point, I have sent a letter to Ma Teng in the northwest before, hoping that they can send troops to help, because I remember that the lord and General Ma Teng had a friendship."
Liu Bei suddenly realized and laughed: "Yuan Zhi is really the first to predict the enemy's opportunity. He has already prepared everything. It's a waste of me to think about the strategy to retreat to the enemy. As for the fact that it is true that I have an old thing with General Ma Teng, and I hope they can agree to help us this time."
Afterwards, Liu Bei asked everyone to prepare for a big battle and began to prepare a series of matters closely. Since Zhou Yukun had no idea about these things at all, he did not get involved. If he failed to help, it would be embarrassing.
Seeing that Zhou Yukun had been wearing ordinary cloth clothes and silk pants, Guan Yu was preparing to tailor a pair of armor for him. After all, when he was about to go to the battlefield, how could the general fight without armor?
Two days later, Zhou Yukun, who was familiar with fighting in armor in the yard, suddenly heard a noise outside, and walked towards the front yard curiously. When passing a corner, Zhou Yukun was careless and pretended to be full of his arms with the other person on the other side.
I heard a "ah" scream, and a familiar shout and scolding came: "Which guy hit me? Don't you have eyes?"
Zhou Yukun shouted, "Why did you meet this guy here? It's better to run away quickly. Thinking of this, just as oil was about to disappear without a trace, I heard the man's even more harsh shouting: "Ah!!! It turns out that it was you, the stinky beggar. I finally caught you. The last time the account has not been settled with you!"
It turned out that this person was Ma Chuling, who had fainted before and was sent to the infirmary by Zhou Yukun. Zhou Yukun dared not explain, so he ran away directly. Seeing this, Ma Chuling immediately stood up and chased after him.
So, a chase that continued the previous one began again. After running for a while, Zhou Yukun realized why he still ran away? Last time, he was afraid of her because his injury had not healed. This time, why was he afraid of her?
Zhou Yukun braked suddenly, stood there, shouting: "Stop, wait!"
Ma Chuling didn't listen to him. Seeing Zhou Yukun stopped, he jumped directly and rushed towards Zhou Yukun Tiger. Seeing this posture, Zhou Yukun discovered for the first time that this girl was really a tiger, and her movements were similar!
In a daze, Ma Chuling had already pounced on Zhou Yukun, wrapped his legs around his waist, and tied his neck with both hands, making him unable to move. Then, Ma Chuling twisted his body in the air, and even threw Zhou Yukun out of the way, and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, Zhou Yukun was crying. He thought he would no longer be as embarrassed as before, but he didn't expect that he was thrown to the ground by her in one move. After careful calculation, he seemed to have been defeated by her three times, and she was pressed to the ground every time. Does this girl have any bad habits?
Ma Chuling rode on Zhou Yukun. She wanted to use her fist to hammer him hard, but when she saw him wearing armor, she had nowhere to start. In desperation, she could only tightly tie Zhou Yukun's neck and kept muttering: "Let you peek at me, let you peek at me..."
Zhou Yukun was so squeezed that he couldn't breathe and rolled his eyes. In a blur, he saw a group of people walking towards him, one of whom was the handsome and handsome Ma Chao. He stretched out his right hand with difficulty and made a harsh voice: "Teacher... brother... save me!"
Ma Chao's face changed in the distance and shouted in anger: "Yunlu, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Why doesn't a girl know how to pay attention to her behavior?"
Ma Chuling was so scared that he shivered. He immediately let go of his hands, jumped up from Zhou Yukun, pretending to be wronged. "Brother Ma Chao, he was the one who bullied others first!"
"You still dare to argue? I'll apologize to others!"
Liu Bei next to him didn't know what happened, but looking at Ma Chuling, a petite and cute little girl, it shouldn't be her fault. "Brother Ma Chao, maybe my subordinates did it wrong. This little sister might have been wronged!" Ma Chuling nodded in tears.
Ma Chao was unmoved at all and said to Liu Bei seriously: "My Lord Liu Bei, you don't know anything. My sister is a naughty and rebellious person. Only she causes trouble for others, but no one dares to provoke her! Moreover, I know the person she bullied. She is the junior brother I just accepted before!" (To be continued)
