.Once upon a time, Liu Bei was very high-spirited.
After getting acquainted with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he became more powerful in the world. Now, he is old, over fifty years old, and his belly is even more fat. So when Liu Bei sat astride the war horse, he had an extremely ridiculous premonition.
Maybe today, he will die here.
The Zuo family in Chengdu is a long-established powerful family. It is said that the Zuo family had already taken root in Chengdu when Emperor Gaozu was dormant in Hanzhong before Emperor Gaozu settled the world. Hundreds of years later, although the Zuo family has declined, its strength still exists.
After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, the attitude of Zuo Hou, the head of the Zuo family, has been very obscure.
He did not clearly support Liu Bei, nor did he express opposition. Even when Liu Bei occupied Chengdu, Zuo Hou did not have a clear attitude. Of course, there are many powerful families like Zuo Hou. Liu Bei did not dare to be too tough.
In terms of attitude towards the Zuo family, most of them focus on soliciting.
Without him, the Zuo family holds Xichuan Salt Industry and is not weak in strength.
Even if Xichuan's economy was poor, it had little impact on the Zuo family. Holding more than a dozen salt ponds was enough to make him invincible. Since Liu Yan entered Sichuan, after twenty years of turmoil, he has always been in Chengdu.
Liu Bei did not dare to go too far towards Zuo, so he could only use gentle methods.
Unexpectedly, it was Zuo who finally took action and ruined Liu Bei's plan.
Liu Bei mounted his horse and just rushed out of the government office when he saw Zhang Fei, covered in blood, galloping from a distance...
The eight-foot-long snake spear was dripping with thick blood.
The armor all over his body was even more mottled and tattered, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Brother, leave quickly."
"Yide, how is the situation?"
"The North Gate has been lost... The Zuo family united with the six powerful men in Chengdu, gathered more than 5,000 people, and colluded with Cao's thieves. Cao's general Zhang He and Dianman Xu Yi have occupied the North Gate. Wu Yizheng led his people to resist, but the morale of the army
It's already sluggish, so I might not be able to sustain it for too long. Now Nanmen is still in Lu Ji's hands, brother, hurry up and break through with me."
"Oh!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
But now there is no room for him to hesitate any longer, and he doesn't even bother to bring his family, meet up with Zhang Fei, and head towards the south gate of Chengdu. At this time, Chengdu is in chaos, and defeated armies can be seen everywhere... These defeated armies have already been lost.
In order to control the city, there was even a phenomenon of gangsters killing innocent people and robbing property. The houses were in flames. How could Liu Bei care about this? Together with Zhang Fei, he fought desperately to break through to the south of the city.
Along the way, there were countless casualties.
When we arrived at Nanmen, Nanmen was also in a mess.
Fortunately, Lu Ji was able to stabilize the situation at this time. After seeing Liu Bei, he shouted loudly: "My lord, Chengdu cannot be held. Yan Yan, an old man, is leading his troops and is approaching the south. If we don't break through, it may be difficult to escape."
"Breakout, breakout!"
At this time, Liu Bei could no longer figure out where to go, so he could only rely on instinct and walk in embarrassment.
How could this Zuo family suddenly rebel?
Liu Bei thought he treated Zuo well, but he couldn't understand why Zuo Hou was like this.
However, reality no longer allowed him to think about it any more. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Lu Ji took advantage of the night to rush out of Chengdu.
The night is deep, and the hustle and bustle of Chengdu in the distance has been left behind.
Liu Bei suddenly reined in his horse and said, "Yide, where are we going?"
He was confused and a little at a loss at this time.
I thought that winning Chengdu would be a new beginning. But I didn’t expect that Chengdu would become the end of the world.
Yan Yan conquered Yue Wei and made Nanzhong surrender.
It is impossible to return again... Meng Huo and other thirty-six Dong kings were almost completely wiped out. Although Nanzhong was rich, there were no soldiers available. If he returned to Nanzhong, he would definitely not go there if he died.
"Is there no place for me in this huge world?"
"Brother, don't be discouraged, let's go to Shu County. .com updates quickly"
"ah?"
"Brother, have you forgotten that there are still some soldiers and horses in the Shujun country? Let's go there first, and then we can make plans after we stabilize our position. At that time, I am willing to lead three thousand troops to recapture Chengdu for my brother and kill all the villains.
."
A country belonging to Shu County?
It seems like this is the only place to go.
Liu Bei thought of this, nodded, regained his energy, and rushed on the starry night with Zhang Fei and others.
The sky is bright.
Chengdu has disappeared.
Going forward, crossing the river in front, we will reach Gangwon.
After passing Jiangyuan, you can reach Linqiong directly, and you can't even breathe a breath.
Liu Bei's nervous mood suddenly relaxed. But when he relaxed, he suddenly felt sad and burst into tears.
Chengdu is gone!
My wife and children are gone...
He was as frightened as a bereaved dog, which was a true reflection of him at this time.
After years of building a foundation, now only Zhang Fei and Lu Ji were left. How could he not feel sad?
At this moment, a rumble of war drums was heard.
"Yide, where are you beating the drum?"
Liu Bei hurriedly stopped his mourning and raised his eyes to look.
But I saw a group of men and horses coming out of the river bend in front. The leader was a general, wearing a three-pronged golden crown with purple gold hair, Tang Ni treasure armor, and a lion belt around his waist. He was wearing a moon white printed huā satin war robe, a lion and a tiger.
The beast has a painted halberd in the palm of the hand.
Behind that general, there were two other generals.
One is nearly ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist.
In the palm of his hand is an iron caltrop bone with red hair and eyes. It is none other than Samoko. The other one is a young general, Wu Zima, with a golden dragon spear in his palm. Eight hundred flying camel soldiers are arrayed in a three-man formation.
behind.
"Cao Peng!"
Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly clenched the sword in his hand.
Cao Peng smiled slightly on his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Xuande, Peng has been here waiting for Mr. Xuande for a long time."
For a moment, Liu Bei was in a daze.
The boy who cut off the banner of his camp with a sword back then has now become a demon who wants to take his life.
After years of hard work, it was almost destroyed by Cao Peng.
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward when he heard Zhang Fei yell, "Zishan, take the king away. A certain family will fight to the death to cover you."
After that, he urged his horse and rushed towards Cao Peng.
Cao Peng sat firmly on the horse without any fear.
Samoko walked as fast as flying, dragged the caltrops backwards, and rushed towards Zhang Fei. Seeing that he collided with the war horse, Samoke suddenly roared and jumped into the air. The caltrops carried a
A sharp wind whizzed towards Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei raised his snake spear to meet him on horseback. He heard a loud clang, and Ma Xiyu screamed and retreated repeatedly. And Zhang Fei himself felt numb in his arms...
This barbarian is so powerful!
And Samoko was not much better. After his feet landed on the ground, he took a dozen steps back and sat on the ground.
When Zhang Fei saw him, he urged his horse and rushed forward without saying a word.
The young general behind Cao Peng raised his horse and twisted his gun to stop Zhang Fei.
This young general is none other than Sun Shao!
But I saw the golden gun in his hand flying up and down, turning into thousands of pear flowers, and the shadows of the gun were heavy. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was not sloppy at all, and raised his snake spear to fight with Sun Shao. The two fought for more than ten rounds, and Sun Shao gradually
Can't resist it.
After all, Zhang Fei was experienced, and after the initial panic, he quickly stabilized his position.
At this time, Liu Bei and Lu Ji had fought their way out of the siege under the desperate protection of the White Soul soldiers. Cao Peng tried to rush over several times, but was blocked by the White Soul soldiers who were not afraid of death. Seeing that Liu Bei had fled far away, Cao Peng was furious.
"Shasha, Bowen, you two are chasing the big-eared thief, and the third general will leave to me."
As he spoke, the liger beast roared, carrying Cao Peng, and rushed towards Zhang Fei like lightning. Under the joint efforts of Shamoke and Sun Shao, Zhang Fei was on equal footing. But now Cao Peng suddenly came to kill him, but Zhang Fei was
He has a big heart.
Shamoke and Sun Shao stepped back, and Cao Peng arrived in front of Zhang Fei.
The painting pole halberd was hung by the strong wind and was blowing towards him. Zhang Fei raised his spear to meet him, but when he saw the painting pole halberd pressing against the snake spear, he suddenly trembled and swiped along the snake spear, almost cutting off Zhang Fei's arm.
Zhang Fei was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and moved his horse to dodge. He was secretly horrified in his heart: This Cao Peng is indeed a powerful general under the command of the thief Cao.
"Third General, you and I had a fight ten years ago. At that time, I used a trick to win a small victory over you." Cao Peng's cold voice reached Zhang Fei's ears. Zhang Fei didn't speak, but just kept his head down.
Dancing the snake spear, he fought desperately. Cao Peng sat on the liger, seemingly unconcerned, and blocked Zhang Fei's violent attack with a halberd from the left and a right halberd.
"I made a vow at that time that one day I would fight you openly and honestly.
But now I know that the so-called fairness does not exist at all. I was young back then, and the three generals were at their peak. But now, I am at my peak, and the three generals are old. This reminds me of a saying: Thirty years
Hedong, Hexi in thirty years! Under the current situation, are the three generals still stubbornly resisting?"
Zhang Fei knows what Cao Peng is talking about!
However, his naturally stubborn nature made it impossible for him to bow his head.
"You little thief, don't make any noise, you and I will fight until death today."
As he spoke, Zhang Fei's snake spear became more fierce.
But Cao Peng's expression changed and he shouted sternly: "As the three generals wish."
The painting pole halberd changed from the slow and slow moves before, and suddenly became fierce and unstoppable. It was like a ball of fire, and the moves were fierce. Zhang Fei was able to resist it at first, but after more than thirty rounds, he was out of breath.
As Cao Peng said: He is already old!
The two horses pedaled wrongly. Cao Peng saw that Zhang Fei's reaction was no longer very sensitive. He suddenly pulled out a big sword from the horse's back. The cold light flashed and the two men had passed each other. When Cao Peng reined in the horse, he lowered his head to the sword.
When he looked at it, he saw a stream of blood slowly flowing along the knife edge and dripping onto the ground.
Behind him, Zhang Fei stumbled twice on his horse, swayed twice, and fell headfirst to the ground.
The armor on his body was broken, and blood flowed out from his chest, dyeing the earth red...
"There have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years...Three generals, twenty years ago was the era when you were galloping around the world. Twenty years later, the era has changed. Today, it is better to be buried in a corpse."
In his year, he was beheaded in his sleep."
Cao Peng sighed quietly, waved his hand, and ordered people to collect Zhang Fei's body.
"Continue to pursue Liu Bei and let go of the big-eared thief."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Under the protection of Lu Ji, Liu Bei left in a hurry.
The shouts of killing behind him gradually disappeared. Liu Bei reined in his horse and looked back, tears streaming down his face.
"Yide, rest!"
Cao Peng is really terrible, he can be so accurate in calculating his escape route... If I had known that this guy was so powerful, I would have killed him first when he tried to turn against Cao Cao in Xiapi. Unfortunately, I was worried at that time
There were so many that raising tigers was a disaster. Thinking about it now, Liu Bei couldn't help but regret it.
"My lord, just go through the forest in front and there will be a bridge.
Crossing the bridge is Gangwon, we should rush there as soon as possible to avoid any further mishaps."
Seeing that Liu Bei was a little distracted, Lu Ji hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
Only then did Liu Bei come back to his senses, nodded, shook the reins, and was about to gallop. But he heard the sound of bells in the forest. A group of men and horses came out of the forest to kill Liu Bei and blocked Liu Bei's way. Under the moonlight,
Liu Bei recognized at a glance that the leading general was none other than Zhao Yun, and his expression changed drastically.
"Zilong, do you want to kill me?"
Zhao Yun looked calm, but his eyes when looking at Liu Bei were extremely complicated.
"Mr. Xuande, you are well."
Liu Bei laughed miserably and said: "Zilong, when you surrendered to Cao Peng, I knew you had no choice but to do so. Today I have fallen into this situation... Rather than die in Cao Peng's hands, I would rather be killed by you to restore the friendship between us.
."
How could Liu Bei not know what happened at Changbanpo?
Zhao Yun entered and exited Changbanpo seven times, killing countless generals and soldiers of Cao Cao. Finally, Cao Peng took his family and threatened Zhao Yun to surrender. Zhao Yun had no choice but to surrender to Cao Peng, and he was never heard from again.
Xiang Lang came back to tell Tiao that Zhao Yun had rebelled.
Liu Bei knew it was a lie, but he could do nothing about it.
"How are you two ladies?"
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and said quietly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, the two ladies are fine.
The young master did not make things difficult for them, but sent them to the Western Regions... Now the second uncle is doing business in Rile, and the eldest uncle is starting a new business in the Western Regions, and is gradually getting better. The eldest young master is... very good, and very happy.
When I returned to the province with my wife's family two years ago, I went to visit the Western Regions. The eldest son had been renamed Mi Chan, and he was very strong. However, neither his wife nor his two uncles told him his identity.
The eldest uncle said that they would never tell the eldest son the truth in their lifetime.
I only hope that he can be happy, grow up in the Western Regions, and take over his career in the future... and will not let him return to the Central Plains."
Liu Bei burst into tears when he heard this.
This time, he really cried, but there was still some joy in it.
As soon as he raised his hand on the horse, Liu Bei suddenly dropped the sword in his hand and said, "Zilong, take my head and take the merit."
Zhao Yun's horse stomped on the ground.
The gentian gun in the palm of my hand was also tightly held in my hand...
He looked at Liu Bei and gritted his teeth, but still couldn't make up his mind.
After a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh, "My Lord, this is the last time Yun calls you Lord, please go."
"ah?"
Zhao Yundao: "Don't mention what happened back then.
I am a small soldier, and I should have been killed by Duke Xuande. However, on Changban Slope, the young master treated Zilong even more seriously. I should have died early for several offenses, but the young master tolerated them all. I will kill Duke Xuande today.
, is unkind and unjust, but letting Mr. Xuande go is disloyal. Please let Mr. Xuande go, and you should apologize to me."
After saying that, Zhao Yun raised his big gun and ordered his soldiers to get out of the way.
Liu Bei was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed.
He ignored Zhao Yun's thanks and urged his horse to leave.
Lu Ji followed Liu Bei closely, and when he passed by Zhao Yun, he secretly took a look at Zhao Yun.
To be honest, he was desperate just now and didn't want to escape from death.
What a fool!
If it were me, I would kill him...
When Lu Ji thought of this, murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart.
What will happen if I kill Liu Bei?
But then I thought about it, when he abandoned Lu Bu, he formed a deep hatred with Cao Peng. You must know that Cao Peng has a close relationship with the Lu family, and now the Lu family has established a foothold overseas, established a country, and joined Cao Cao.
Even if he kills Liu Bei now, he is afraid that he will not end up well in the hands of Cao Cao.
I really regret that I looked away...
Zhao Yun watched Liu Bei and others leave and sighed quietly.
"From today on, Yun and Duke Xuande will no longer have any grudges.
If he charges on the battlefield in the future, Yun will never be merciful again... But, Mr. Xuande, do you still have a chance?"
