"Quickly shrink the formation! Take the prisoners back to the city and guard them with two thousand soldiers. The rest will line up quickly! Feed the war horses with fodder."

Seeing that the battle was over, Jushu ran out of the city to give orders to everyone.

Pengcheng is only more than two hundred miles away from here. Liu Bei must have gathered an army and is on his way here.

The soldiers quickly dismounted, fed their horses with fodder or beans, and took out water from their bags to drink.

They all understood that the only way to survive was to defeat Liu Bei. Pi County was just a small town, and it was better to mount a war horse and fight Liu Bei than to defend the city.

At this time, war horses are the life of the soldiers. They organize their equipment, collect arrows, replace the spears that were split into two pieces, and throw aside the chipped knives.

"General, if nothing unexpected happens, Liu Bei will arrive outside Pi County in two hours. It will be dark by then. Should we set up camp first?"

"No! We won't have time to sleep tonight."

Jushu arranged for the prisoners to be sent to Pi County, but the people of Pi County had already left.

When Liu Bei decided to ambush Li Pu before Pi County, he had already moved the people in the city away.

No matter what Liu Bei was thinking, he was benevolent and righteous and loved the people and treated them better than others.

The empty houses in the city became cells for holding captives. The army set up dozens of cauldrons and began to cook extremely delicious mutton.

These sheep are the trophies of brothers Zhang Fei and Zhang He who defeated the Xiongnu and Qianghu in the grassland.

There were hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. After Li Pu entered Xuzhou this time, he asked the logistics troops to transport them. Although there were bloody battles along the way, he had no worries about food and drink.

Good food, coupled with repeated victories in battles, made it possible for his morale to never be low even if he repeatedly fought against the enemy.

"Brothers! Eat big! After defeating Liu Bei this time, we will have a celebration banquet in Pengcheng!"

"Ho ho ho."

The soldiers were eating meat and were speechless. They just roared twice to show their agreement, then turned around and continued eating meat.

Li Pu didn't blame him, he just laughed and cursed and picked up a piece of mutton chop from the pot and started eating it.

The soldiers have been fighting bloody battles since they followed him. How could they not understand what they were about to face?

But it doesn’t matter!

As long as the general is still there, as long as the bloody cloak behind the general is still fluttering, and the ax in his hand is still swinging, the French-destroying army cannot be defeated!

This is the experience accumulated from several or even dozens of wars. When charging, you only need to stay behind the general and follow the general forward. There are no tactics, just a simple charge.

Crush all enemies!

After the army had eaten and drank enough, they tidied up their armor, picked up their swords and guns, and mounted their horses.

They were all silent, and every ten people held torches, as if waiting for something.

It was already late at night. They had been ambushed at noon and had a bloody battle with Guan Yu until Shen Shi (3 to 5 o'clock). They had eaten, drank and rested for two more hours. Now it was Xu Shi (7 to 9 o'clock).

The sun has set in the sky, but the moonlight in the sky is extremely white. It is the middle of the month. Although the moonlight in the sky cannot illuminate the earth like daylight, it can still make people see clearly without lighting a torch.

thing.

In Pi County behind him, countless torches were lit on the city wall, and the city wall was ablaze with light.

Jushou stood on the city wall and looked worriedly at the army in front of him. Although he knew that the army trained by Li Pu was extremely elite, as long as Li Pu was still there, these soldiers would not be defeated even if they fought to the last man.

But today has been three battles in a row, and Jushou doesn't know whether the soldiers' spirit can persist, although he intends to persuade Li Pu not to fight again.

But Li Pu insisted on fighting, and Ju Shou could not say anything. He could only arrange other things for Li Pu, and the rest was up to Li Pu.

Jushu stood on the city wall and looked towards the front of the army. Although he could not see the bright red cloak, Jushu knew that General Pan Fengpan was there.

Suddenly the ground began to tremble slightly, and the birds in the forest in the distance should have returned to the forest, but now they were frightened and flew up, chirping randomly.

"Here we come." Jushu murmured to himself.

"Here we come." Li Pu looked into the distance.

"General, what's going on?" Lai Wen was holding a sheep's head and eating the sheep's tongue.

Li Pu raised his hand and hit Lai Wen on the helmet with a knife. Lai Wen was hit so hard that he couldn't hold the sheep's head in his hand and it flew out.

Before Lai Wen could dismount and pick it up, Li Pu caught him.

"Throw that broken sheep head away from me. Don't embarrass me for a while."

"No." Lai Wen replied, but his eyes still glanced at the sheep's head on the ground, and he smacked his lips sadly.

Not far away, a large military formation gathered in front of Li Pu. At a glance, there was no visible edge. There were at least 60,000 troops, and everyone was wearing armor.

"It seems that the Mi family has really spent a lot of money." Li Pu sighed, the Mi family is actually so rich.

In such troubled times, to seek refuge with a prince so early is either a wise and courageous person, or a fool. Li Pu thought about the consequences of the Mi family, and it was obvious that Mi Zhu was a wise person.

The two armies' formations slowly approached and stopped two arrows away from the other side's formation.

In front of the opposing army's formation, three cavalrymen walked to the center of the two armies holding torches.

"Follow me." Li Pu ordered.

"No." Lai Wen rode behind Li Pu, holding a torch with one hand and placing the other on the handle of the throwing ax at his waist.

Li Pu came to the formation of the two armies and took a closer look. It turned out to be Liu Bei.

"Brother Xuande is here well." Li Pu bowed his hand.

"The incomparable brothers are still as charming as ever." Liu Bei also casually flattered him.

"Brother Wushuang, how are my second and third brothers?"

"Brother Xuande, don't worry. Brother Yide is galloping around in Bingzhou. It's hard to see each other thousands of miles away, but brother Yun Chang is in Pi County at the moment, waiting to see you, brother Xuande."

"You... the second brother and the third brother are fine. Brother Wushuang, I want to ask you, why do you keep making trouble for my third brother? It was like this in Jixian, and it is still like this in Xuzhou now. There is no enmity between us, right?

"

Liu Bei was a little confused. He had never met Pan Feng, so why did he come to Xuzhou to beat him?

Why don't you go and fight Cao Cao, who is working hard on the expedition? Cao Cao is right next to you!

"Haha, Brother Xuande is joking. Not only do you and I have no grudges, but on the contrary, I also admire Brother Xuande's character."

Li Pu laughed and said.

"Then why did you..."

Liu Bei was a little confused. He admired me so he came to beat me? Co-author: Do you admire people so much?

"Brother Xuande thinks, which one is more important, the hero or the current situation?"

"Current situation?"

"no."

"Is it important to be a hero?"

Li Pu shook his head.

"No."

"Then what's important?"
