Lu Bu turned his horse back, and regardless of his subordinates, he rode his horse first and came to the carriage of the rear army.
In the carriage, the Kyushu general's worldly sustenance, Mrs. Yan, his daughter Lu Qiling, and his beloved concubine Diao Chan were all together.
"Madam, Diao Chan, Cao's thieves are powerful and it will be difficult for them to engage in battle today. Please let me protect you and quickly retreat to the west. When I regain my strength, I will destroy this group!"
"Alas, in the Yanzhou army, there is no such thing as Fang Guang, a little thief, and no martial ethics. Now Cao Ah'an's head is already hanging on the red rabbit horse!" Lu Bu's face turned red, and he couldn't help but explain in front of his relatives.
Fan.
Madam Yan and Diao Chan were already used to fleeing with him, having gained experience from Guanzhong to this point.
The two women repeatedly comforted Lu Bu, the most powerful general in Kyushu, leading his light soldiers and retinue in a carriage, and hurriedly fled westward.
After everyone had walked a few miles, they heard a commotion behind them. It was Bingzhou's army and horses that collapsed on the battle formation, and the defeated troops rushed here.
"Hurry up and stop your formation. Are you running away like this? Aren't you afraid of becoming prey in the mountains and being hunted by Yanzhou's troops and horses?"
Behind the carriage, Lu Bu stood horizontally holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, trying to stop the rout.
The morale of the army was weakened, but all the generals pretended not to hear, and they surged towards the west like a tide.
Lu Bu even killed several people, but was unable to stop the decline. After a moment's delay, Cao's army was approaching from behind.
"Lu Fengxian, please accept your orders!"
The leading general of Cao's army was Xiahou Dun, who had just escaped death. Xiahou Yuanrang, who was almost given a blindfold, looked at Lu Bu, and his eyes almost burst out with fire.
"The defeated general also dares to speak bravely, but can he dare to come forward and die?"
Lu Bu glared at Xiahou Dun and shouted wildly. This time, Cao Jun learned the lesson. Xiahou Dun stopped stepping forward and waved one hand on his horse, and the overwhelming rain of arrows came over like a dark cloud.
"Send your wife, Diao Chan, and Ling'er to the west quickly. I'll stop Cao's army of thieves!"
The halberd in Lu Bu's hand was dancing like a windmill. He was not afraid of the rain of arrows, but he was deeply afraid that his close relatives in the carriage would be injured by Cao's army.
Among the rebels, several members of Lu Bu's tribe protected the carriage and fled westward in a hurry.
Seeing that Lu Bu was alone, Xiahou Dun led the army to step forward to take the man. Behind him, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun Buqu, and Chen Gong also arrived just in time.
There was a melee between the two armies, Cao's army arrived one after another, and Bingzhou's army was defeated again.
Lu Bu's generals broke out of the encirclement and rushed westward. Along the way, Lu Fengxian anxiously looked for his family's carriage, but there were many wrong roads, so where could he find it?
In the Battle of Yanzhou, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in Bingzhou in one battle. In Xuzhou in the east, Liu Daer also ushered in the first highlight moment of his life!
On top of the city in Guangling, Zuo Rong saw Xuzhou's military and horse banners. He was so happy that he personally took his subordinates and went out of the city to greet him.
The governor of Xuzhou, with a gentle smile on his face, personally helped up Zuo Rong, the Jiangnan Lu Bu, and entered Guangling City with his army and horses.
Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao's army is not far from Guangling City, and the war is about to break out.
Guangling Zuorong's close confidant, seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei strong, instantly felt a lot more at ease.
During a night of banquets, Liu Xuande talked and laughed freely. He was very humble when talking about the military career of the three brothers.
The person's name, the shadow of the tree, and Big Er's performance against the Xiliang Army have long been famous all over the world. At this time, this guy is so low-key and invisible, but his strength is infinitely higher.
During the banquet, a middle-aged man with a sad face was dragged here by force.
This person was none other than Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, the leading civil servants of the Eastern Wu Dynasty in later generations. He was also the person who Sun Quan could rely on when Sun Ce passed away, and who could rely on him when internal matters were uncertain.
At this time, Zhang Zhao, despite his reputation as a literary talent, was drifting between Xuzhou and Yangzhou.
He escaped from the war in Xuzhou and wanted to go south to Yangzhou. When he was in Guangling, he was half invited by Zuo Rong and kept in the governor's mansion half under house arrest.
Zhang Zhao, who was feeling miserable, originally came to the banquet full of worries. Seeing the majestic appearance of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and hearing Xuande's modesty, a thought flashed through his mind: this man is a leader among people.
While the wine was intoxicating, Zuo Rong even promised that if Liu Yao was killed and Yangzhou was taken by himself, Guangling would be given to Liu Bei, and the grain and fodder from the south of the Yangtze River would be used as the cornerstone of Xuzhou.
If only a few months ago, brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang would have entered Chang'an and tore apart Li Cui and Guo Si just for this promise.
Now, a few months have passed, and Liu Bei, who is becoming more and more familiar with the rules of the game at the level of governor and governor, listened to Zuo Rong's words, but he just smiled and said nothing, did not answer, and did not object!
After the banquet was over, both host and guest were happy. On the next day, brothers Liu Guan and Zhang led 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xuzhou, together with Zuo Rong's tribe, and came south together.
Liu Yao's army and horses had already been waiting here. When he saw Xuzhou Mu Banner Liu Xuande appeared in the north, Liu Yao was furious and led his generals Fan Neng and Zhang Ying out into battle.
In Liu Bei's army, Guan Yu stood up with his sword drawn and walked step by step in front of the two armies.
"Liu Xuande, I heard that you are a hero in the world, and I thought in my heart that the descendants of the Han clan are extraordinary after all. But I didn't expect that today, you would fight against our Yangzhou troops for the sake of the traitor Zuo Rong?"
"Who is this thief? Doesn't Xuande know? You are helping Zhou to commit evil, are you not afraid of the punishment of the Liu family princes in the world, Your Majesty?"
Liu Yao was a man of integrity and uprightness, and had an excellent reputation. Compared with Zuo Rong, he was incomparable.
Liu Bei knew this well and allowed Liu Yao to scold him, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Yangzhou Mu thought Xuande was being slighted by his opponent, and was furious. Fan Neng, his best general, drew his spear and mounted his horse, heading straight for Guan Yu.
The second brother faced unknown generals throughout his life, and together with Zhang Yide, his kill rate was still higher than Lu Bu's.
Today, in front of the two armies, the leading scholars from Yangzhou and Guangling were watching together. Guan Yunchang couldn't help but think of his elder brother's instructions.
For the first time, Guan Yu did not use his taunting skills in front of a general who was far inferior to him.
Later generations of martial saints just reined in their horses and dodged the thrust of the tool man Fan Neng. Yun Chang stretched out one arm, like a spiritual ape, grabbed Fan Neng's belt and lifted him up.
in hand.
The general, who weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, looked like a child in the hands of Xie Liangwufu.
In the formation of the two armies, they saw Fan Neng kicking his limbs wildly and screaming strangely, but he could not break free from Guan Yu's single arm, and they were shocked in their hearts.
This hand is much sharper than cutting off the head with a knife.
"Okay, General Guan, kill this man quickly. When the general comes back, I will pour him wine to celebrate!"
When Zuo Rong saw Guan Yu's meritorious service in front of the formation, he was so happy that he couldn't help shouting.
In my ears, there was suddenly a sound of thunder.
"ah!"
"Who is my second brother? Where can you, a merciless man like you, control him?"
"The thieves of Xuzhou will be beheaded here today!"
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, beside Liu Bei, Zhang Fei held the snake spear in his hand, looking like a dragon and a snake, raising his head high.
Zhang Fei's first roar broke through Zuo Rong's defense, and he thrust out a spear, hitting Zuo Rong in the back of the heart. The Guangling Prefect died on the spot without even shouting a single word of injustice.
