Zhang Xun and Zhang Liao joined forces with 30,000 troops to attack Xiaopei, while Liu Bei had to defend the city to the death.

After Liu Bei received Yang Feng's troops, Xiaopei's troops expanded by nearly 20,000, and the city's food and grass were enough to support it for half a year. Yuan and Lu's coalition forces could not conquer it for a long time.

Before, Yuan Lu had fought in the Huai River. At this time, no one was present, so the generals and soldiers on both sides were uncoordinated. In addition, Guan and Zhang were invincible and could not win several times in front of the formation. The coalition instead reduced their morale.

The army besieged the city, beating drums and gold all day long, and shaking flags and shouting, and there is no peace in the surrounding villages.

The people were afraid of being harmed by war, so many households fled north with their elderly and children. Because of the shelter, Ganjiazhuang just gave up spring plowing and hid in the shelter to consume the food before consuming it.

Ganji spent almost all of this time in shelter. Seeing that no one came to rob the village in Lantian, he returned home every day to get some hot food.

"Tian'er, when will they finish the cooking? We still have hot steamed buns to eat. Your sister doesn't know what's going on in the city..." Ganji said worriedly.

"There are many soldiers and horses in Xiaopei City. When the troops were increased last year, I also bought a lot of food. My sister shouldn't be hungry for a while, just fear... "

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu will increase their troops..."

Gan Ji said with a sad face: "Tian'er, you are so good at farming. If we had known that we would have found a place without war, it would be better than being scared here. Your sister hadn't lived a good life after marrying Xuande..."

"It's a chaotic world now, where is the world not in chaos? Even if there is such a place, it's hard for us to get there..." Lan Tian sighed.

Gan Ji knew in his heart that in this chaotic period, bandits in all prefectures and counties were in trouble, so how could the people in Guizhou dare to travel alone?

The coalition forces failed to defeat them for a long time, and Yuan Shu was not in a hurry to Lu Bu was in a hurry.

Xuzhou had always had a shortage of military and food, and the consumption during the war was even greater than that in daily life. Zhang Liao was unable to conquer Xiaopei for a long time, and Lu Bu's food problems became increasingly serious.

Last year, Lu Bu acquiesced Han Xian and Yang Feng plundered the prefectures and counties. If he now walks the old path of two people for military rations, then he, the Xuzhou master, might have really done his best.

He sent people several times to order Zhang Liao to fight and attack quickly, but the news he received was that Liu Bei was tenacious in defense. If he wanted to get off Xiaopei, he would have to increase his troops.

In midsummer of August, Lu Bu finally decided to increase his troops to Xiaopei.

When Lu Bu went to war, he asked Gao Shun to lead his own army, but now he was in charge of the city defense of Xia Pi, so he was not sent to Xiaopei. Now he wanted to increase his troops and select generals. He either took charge of the commander himself or Gao Shun.

After repeated thinking, Lu Bu decided to ask Gao Shun to lead his army to support Zhang Liao and stay in Xia Pi to prevent Yuan Shu from attacking him. It is better to believe him than to believe anyone.

Gao Shun received the order and was about to leave the mansion, but Lu Lingqi stopped him again.

"Miss, I'm going to carry out military affairs now. If you have anything, I'll talk about it when I come back." Gao Shun said anxiously.

"My father is now in power with Liu Bei. I heard that the army has shortage of food and grass. Will you go to Xiaopei..." Lu Lingqi's implication is whether Gao Shun will learn from Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian will rob the village.

Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Miss, Gao would starve to death and would not do anything to bully the weak. Mr. Ziyu, I will try my best to take care of him..."

"And his sister..." Lu Lingqi reminded.

Gao Shun nodded and said, "I know this in my heart. Please take care of yourself, Miss. The lord and Yuan Shu will be together. Maybe they will marry you to Shouchun..."

After Gao Shun said that, he turned around and left, leaving Lu Lingqi standing there blankly.

Lu Lingqi looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, not knowing whether it was sweat or tears, but in short, it dripped on the ground and dried up instantly.

She sighed that she was always destined to be destined, and that it would be a fate if she really wanted to marry Shouchun.

"What's my son standing in the sun? Come with me to the backyard to cool off, and then tell me about the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" you asked someone to copy, and then tell me about it." Lu Bu walked behind her and said.

Lu Lingqi wiped the sweat from her face and turned around and replied: I understand.

The father and daughter walked into the back flower yard, and Lu Lingqi carried out many bamboo slips from the room and placed them on the stone table.

In the past two years, Lu Lingqi has been idle and occasionally calls Gao Shun to recall the plot together and asks people to copy it slowly. Because there are many forgotten places, the copying speed is not fast, and it was not until recently.

The bamboo slips can not record many words, and the clerical staff is streamlined and simple, and in the end there are still more than a hundred volumes.

Because the text in the book is too concise, Lu Bu is more willing to listen to Lu Lingqi's oral narratives. Recently, he has been quite addicted to listening to it, so he often urges his daughter to teach him.

Today's content is the last few volumes. Because Lu Lingqi was in a bad mood, she didn't have any emotional fluctuations.

Lu Bu thought his daughter was infected by the story. After listening to the book, he sighed: "Genghis Khan, who is in the world, has only a pile of loess left in the end. He is really a chat and laughing with the emperor's tycoon. He is so drunk in life. This story is well written..."

"Father, then I'll pack up and go back to the room?" Lu Lingqi picked up Shu Jian and said.

"Wait a minute, there are five wise men in the Legend of the Condor Heroes. If you say that being a father is one of the five wise men, who should he belong to?" Lu Bu asked with interest.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and said, "Daughter doesn't know, can this be compared?"

"How can't I? I, Lu Bu, have the martial arts skills in the world, should be the supernatural powers, hahaha..."

Lu Lingqi did not answer. When she saw Lu Bu laughing happily, she did not refute it. She did not have much magical powers and did not know what her character was.

Gao Shun, another oralist of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, arrived at the camp outside Xiaopei City at the end of August. After Zhang Liao received the ceremony, he handed over the command directly.

Gao Shun has a very strong control ability. The soldiers he trained can always obey orders and are not afraid of death when fighting on the battlefield.

He was not like Lu Bu, who could promise his soldiers money and women after the war, but his arrival directly changed the situation of Xiao Pei.

The spring river was warm and the duck prophet, Liu Guanzhang found that the siege soldiers were more brave, Xiaopei's defensive pressure suddenly increased, and his confidence in defending the city was reduced.

In early September of the third year of Jian'an, Gao Shun's reinforcements arrived ten days after they captured Xiaopei. Liu Bei led the remaining troops to flee to Xudu, and his wives, concubines and family fell into the enemy again.

The smoke of Xiaopei dissipated, and the farmers who were hiding in the shelter in Ganjiazhuang had eaten their old capital for half a year, and most of them had almost exhausted their surplus food, so they had to go out for activities.

As soon as Lantian helped Gan Ji to the gate of the yard, he saw the patrol customer Li Yang running over hurriedly.

"Young owner...Young owner...Xiao Pei was captured by Lu Bu's army..." Li Yang said gasping.

"Where is Xuande? Where is my daughter?" Gan Ji asked with a handicap from Lantian.

After staying in the shelter for a long time, Gan Ji's legs and feet were not so nimble. He thought that Liu Bei defeated the enemy, but he was defeated again.

"It is said that General Liu escaped... Your daughter fell in the city..." Li Yang lowered his head and whispered.

"Ah...my Qian'er..." Gan Ji was so angry that he fainted.

"Entertainment Father..."

"The owner of the house..."

The two helped Ganji to the couch in the room. Ganji did not open his eyes until the evening, but his forehead was hot and haggard.

Gan Ji was obviously sick. Lantian had never experienced this situation. He asked anxiously: "Little Lizi, do we have a doctor in our village?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "Now the war is in chaos, many people in the nearby village have fled. If our village had not had a shelter, where could we find a doctor? There should be a doctor in Xiaopei City, but the situation in the city is unknown now..."

"Tian...tian'er...qian'er..." Gan Ji called weakly.
