Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 33 Xiaopei falls again, Gan Ji falls ill

Zhang Xun and Zhang Liao combined [-] troops to attack Xiaopei, and Liu Bei could only defend the city with few troops.

After Liu Bei won Yang Feng's army, Xiaopei's troops expanded by nearly [-], and the food and grass in the city were enough to last for half a year.

Yuan Lu had fought in the Huaishui before, but at this time his master was not present, so the generals and soldiers of both sides were not on the same page. In addition, Guan Zhang was brave and invincible, and the generals were unable to win several times before the battle, which lowered the morale of the coalition forces instead.

The army besieged the city, beating drums and beating gold all day long, and waving flags and shouting, and the surrounding villages did not have a single day of peace.

The people were afraid of being harmed by the war, and many households fled north with their old and young families. Because of the shelter in Ganjiazhuang, they just gave up spring plowing and hid in the shelter to store food before consumption.

During this period of time, Ganji spent almost all of it in the shelter. Lantian saw that no one came to plunder the village, so he returned home every day to get some hot food.

"Tian'er, when will they finish playing? We still have hot corn buns to eat, and your sister doesn't know what's going on in the city." Ganji held the corn flour corn buns with a worried expression on his face.

"There are many soldiers and horses in Xiaopei City, and a lot of food was also added when the troops were increased last year. My sister will not be hungry for a while, I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

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

Ganji said with a sad face, "Tian'er, you are so good at farming, if you knew that we would find a place where there is no war, it would be better than worrying about being here. Your sister hasn't had a good life since she married Xuande."

"It's a chaotic world now, how can there be no chaos in the world? Even if there is such a place, it will be difficult for us to go," Lan Tian sighed.

Ganji also knew in his heart that in this time of war and turmoil, all states and counties were infested with banditry, how could the people in the head of Guizhou dare to travel far alone.

The coalition forces were unable to attack for a long time, Yuan Shu was not in a hurry and Lu Bu was in a hurry.

Xuzhou's military rations have been in short supply, and the consumption during the war was even worse than usual. Zhang Liao was unable to capture Xiaopei for a long time, and Lu Bu's food problem became more and more serious.

Lu Bu acquiesced to Han Xian and Yang Feng's plundering in the prefectures and counties last year. If he followed the old path of the two for military rations, then he, Xuzhou Mu, might have really achieved his end.

He sent people several times to order Zhang Liao to attack quickly, but the news he got was that Liu Bei was tenacious in defense, and if he wanted to quickly take down Xiaopei, he would have to increase his troops.

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

When Lu Bu needed to divide his troops, he always asked Gao Shun to lead his own army, but now he was in charge of the city defense of Xiapi, so he didn't send Xiaopei.

After repeated thinking, Lu Bu decided to let Gao Shun lead an army of [-] to support Zhang Liao, and stay in Xiapi to prevent Yuan Shu from attacking him. It is better to trust anyone than yourself.

Gao Shun was about to leave the mansion after receiving the order, when Lu Lingqi stopped him again.

"Miss, I'm going to perform military duties now, what's the matter I'll talk about when I get back." Gao Shun said anxiously.

"Father is now at odds with Liu Bei. I heard that there is a shortage of food and grass in the army. Will you go to Xiaopei?" Lu Lingqi's implication is whether Gao Shun will follow Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian to plunder the village.

Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "Miss, don't worry, Gao would rather starve to death than do such things as bullying the weak. I will try my best to take care of Mr. Ziyu."

"And his sister." Lu Lingqi reminded.

Gao Shun nodded and said, "I know this well. Miss, please take care of yourself. My lord and Yuan Shu get back together. Maybe I will marry you to Shouchun."

After Gao Shun finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Lu Lingqi standing there blankly.

Lu Lingqi looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, she didn't know if it was sweat or tears, but the drops dried up instantly on the ground.

She lamented that she was always destined but never destined to marry Shouchun, that was fate.

"What is my son doing standing in the sun? Come with me to the backyard to enjoy the cool air, and by the way, tell my father about the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" you asked someone to transcribe." Lu Bu walked behind her and said.

Lu Lingqi wiped the sweat off her face, then turned around and replied: Got it.

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

In the past two years, Lu Lingqi had nothing to do, and occasionally called Gao Shun to recall the plot of the story together, and asked someone to copy it out slowly. Because there were many forgotten places, the speed of copying was not fast, and the book was not completed until recently.

The number of words that can be recorded on the bamboo slips is not many, and the staff of officials is streamlined and streamlined. In the end, there are still more than 100 volumes.

Because the text in the book is too condensed, Lu Bu prefers to listen to Lu Lingqi's dictation, and recently he is quite addicted to listening to it, so he often urges his daughter to explain the book for him.

Today's content is the last few volumes. Because Lu Lingqi is in a bad mood, she doesn't have any emotional fluctuations when she talks about it.

Lu Bu thought his daughter was infected by the story. After listening to the book, he sighed: "Genghis Khan, who ruled the world, ended up with only a pile of loess. He is really an emperor and hegemony. He is talking and laughing, and he can't live a drunk life. This story is very well-made. it is good."

"Father, shall I pack up and go back to my room?" Lu Lingqi picked up the letter and said.

"Wait a minute, there are five unique talents in Legend of the Condor Heroes. If you say being a father is one of the five unique talents, who should it be?" Lu Bu asked with great interest.

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

"Why not? I, Lu Bu, are invincible in martial arts. It should be my supernatural power, hahaha."

Lu Lingqi didn't answer, she didn't say anything to refute when she saw Lu Bu laughing, but she didn't know much about his supernatural powers, and she didn't know his temperament.

Gao Shun, another dictator of the Condor Shooting, arrived at the camp outside Xiaopei City at the end of August, and Zhang Liao handed over the command right after seeing the ceremony.

Gao Shun's commanding ability is very strong. The soldiers he trained can always obey orders and prohibit them, and they are not afraid of death on the battlefield.

He is not like Lu Bu, who can promise soldiers money and women after the war, but his arrival directly changed Xiaopei's situation.

The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, Liu Guanzhang found that the siege soldiers were more brave, Xiaopei's defensive pressure suddenly increased, and his confidence in defending the city dropped sharply.

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

During this period, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to rescue him, but was also defeated by Gao Shun.

The smoke from Xiaopei's gunpowder dissipated, and the peasants of Ganjiazhuang who were hiding in the shelter, after half a year's income, most of them were running out of surplus food, so they had to come out to do some activities.

As soon as Lan Tian helped Gan Ji to the gate of the courtyard, he saw the farmer Li Yang running over in a hurry.

"Shao Zhuang Master Shao Zhuang Zhu. Xiao Pei was captured by Lu Bu's army." Li Yang said panting.

"Where's Xuande? Where's my daughter?" Ganji asked as he broke free from Lantian.

After staying in the shelter for a long time, Ganji's legs and feet were not so agile. He thought it was Liu Bei who repelled the enemy, but he was defeated again.

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

"Ah, my Qian'er!" Ganji became so angry that he passed out immediately.

"Father."

"The owner."

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

Ganji's condition is obviously sick, Lantian has never experienced such a battle, he asked anxiously: "Xiao Lizi, is there a doctor in our village?"

Li Yang shook his head and said: "Now the army is in chaos, and many people in the nearby village have fled. If there is no shelter in our village, we will also escape. Where can we find a doctor? There should be a doctor in Xiaopei City, but the situation in the city is unknown now."

"Tian Tianer Qianer," Ganji called weakly.

　Thank you for the reward when I came, Hanmei, Yan Shisan, and thank you for the book friends who voted.
