Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 102 On the way to Zhangwu County

Loading is also a technology:
Packing and bundling all the selected dry food and placing them on one cart after another is called a baggage cart.Liu Bei and others actually loaded the goods, and at Cao Cao's request, they also brought a small amount of precious porcelain, which was made by Yuan Shiyi himself. It is said that if conditions permit, His Highness can decide whether to sell the porcelain and make some money...

No vegetables are included.

Vegetables cannot be kept fresh.

The dry food prepared by Liu Bei and others was mostly bacon, supplemented by millet.The former is easy to carry and easy to preserve; the latter is currently the main ration for people in the north, and is mostly loved and sought after by the people in the north... In short, after a busy night, Liu Bei and others finally ordered three thousand troops to head to the city of Nanpi County. At the door, I wanted to meet Liu Bian and his party.

As for Liu Bian's preparations, he did not give in too much: the pure guards headed by He Xian prepared enough money and silk and deposited them in the carriage, and Liu Bian took care of them personally; the three young men Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi also Here we come... Except Liu Bian in the carriage, everyone else rode on horses, guarding the surroundings of the carriage——

Before Liu Bian and his party arrived at the city gate, they were chased by He Miao.

He Miao's face was ashen, but he raised his hands respectfully and said: "Your Highness! Please allow me to follow you!" - Not only did He Miao himself come after him, He Miao also brought fifty cavalry, and he vowed:
"Your Highness, please rest assured that there are still more than [-] cavalrymen stationed in Nanpi County and they will still maintain the security of Nanpi County. Your Highness can rest assured."

What else could Liu Bian say? ——Liu Bian knew what He Miao meant: As his second uncle, if He Miao watched him sneak out... ahem ~ walked out of Nanpi County without authorization, it would be impossible for He Miao to remain indifferent. You must come to protect your nephew!

Furthermore, He Miao did not trust Liu Bei and others.

When He Miao paid a visit to Liu Bei, He Miao once said to Liu Bian privately: "Your Highness, Your Highness, how can you be so confused! You are actually close to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and you are not willing to talk to me, your second uncle. A few words... Don't put all your hopes on Liu Bei and others!

I'm not afraid that Your Highness will get angry, Your Highness, you and Liu Bei and others have known each other for a long time, and it's enough to trust each other, but you should never be unguarded against Liu Bei and others!In case Liu Bei and others have different intentions, what should you do? "

These words successfully blocked Liu Bian's mouth, leaving Liu Bian unable to refute——

After that, He Miao led fifty cavalrymen to accompany Liu Bian as expected, saying that they wanted to be His Highness's backing - His Highness did not just go with the three young boys. At any rate, there were dozens of guards around him. If we are really in danger, what can we do to save His Highness's life and escape intact?
Embarrassed, embarrassed!It is said that Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao really have different intentions. I'm afraid He Miao is not his opponent if he joins the siege with everyone?
——There are so many flaws that he doesn’t even know where to start!

In this way, Liu Bian's team grew inexplicably.

And successfully met with Liu Bei and others.

At that time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Shi Yue and others did not come to say goodbye to Liu Bian and his party.

This is understandable: after all, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Shi Yue were all promoted to county magistrates. Just last night, Cao Cao and others arrived in Dongguang County, Chonghe County, Xiu County and stayed in Nanpi County respectively. Concentrating on governing the counties and cities in various places, I am really busy and can't take any time for a while...

Of course, Liu Bian, who intentionally caused this consequence, also knew the reason and did not feel sad or sad about it.

—Look!In order to escape easily and leave Nanpi County temporarily, I worked very hard!
Liu Bian thought to himself, but couldn't help but look around at Liu Bei and the others, especially the heroic white-bodied military general Zhao Yun. Liu Bian was calm on the surface, but ecstatic in his heart, and said: "Everyone, let's set off? - Bingfa Zhangwu County !”

"Here!" everyone responded.

As a result, Liu Bian and his party went to Zhangwu County in a mighty manner... to provide support.

In the name of transporting baggage trucks!
Unknowingly, the time changed from early morning to evening. Liu Bian and his party were traveling a little slower and still had not arrived at Zhangwu County.

Moreover, the closer they were to Zhangwu County, the quieter everyone's expressions became.

Because wherever the march went, it was deserted and inhabited!

This... is outrageous.

It's like the inside and outside of Luoyang City in the past, and now the inside and outside of Nanpi City... These are simply two worlds!No matter how prosperous Luoyang City was in the past, it was just as depressed outside Luoyang City; now, no matter how prosperous it is inside Nanpi City, there are overgrown weeds outside Nanpi City!
Along the way, although Liu Bian and his party did not encounter any enemy troops, they were tortured by the bumpy ground, not to mention that most of the villages they encountered were empty; the houses they saw were also dilapidated; Most of the civilians are old and skinny.

Can that field be called a field? ——It is completely a replica of when Liu Bian and his party first entered Nanpi County: the fields are all desolate!
Most of the fields are overgrown with weeds. People wish they could pull out all the weeds and order them to sow and grow vegetables!
hateful!

Why did you leave Nanpi City and feel that the other counties in Bohai County remained unchanged and had not changed at all? !
While riding in the carriage, Liu Bian looked at the roadside from time to time, feeling increasingly heavy.

What made him even more unbearable was that by chance, they could encounter squires who had died of starvation on the road? ——Those squires were fat and bloated, mostly made of luxurious silks. Those silks were horribly broken, like beggar's clothes on the roadside, covered with dust and dirt... Fortunately, they could still see one or two The refugees, when the refugees saw them, their faces changed completely and they all ran away!

What kind of nonsense is this?

Liu Bian pursed his lips, becoming more and more angry as he watched.

"Your Highness..."

Xu Shi caught a glimpse of his unkind expression, and Cao Ang called out in a low voice.

"——Xiao Cao."

Liu Bian glanced at Cao Ang and sighed softly: It's so boring, he really shouldn't express his anger!

correct!The reason why he called Cao Ang "Xiao Cao" was because Liu Bian felt that Cao Ang's name was too convoluted. Calling him "Xiao Ang", "Ang Ang" or "Ang'er" would be childish and disgusting. Anyway, Liu Bian didn't. happiness!
He also gave Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi nicknames: Da Yuan and Er Yuan.

"Your Highness, if you feel tired, why don't you please take a nap in the carriage?" Cao Ang suggested thoughtfully, "Maybe we can arrive at Zhangwu County after Your Highness takes a nap?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly, but shook his head, continued to look around the world outside Nanpi County with his eyes, and said, "Xiao Cao, aren't you afraid? There are so many scary scenes."

Liu Bian said the last sentence very softly.

Cao Ang blinked and said happily: "Don't be afraid! I will protect His Highness!"

Liu Bian glanced at Cao Ang, couldn't help it, and laughed lightly.

When you're feeling troubled, wouldn't it be nice to have a few words with Cao Ang? ——Liu Bian thought in a daze.

Then, he heard Dayuan and Eryuan complaining:

"Your Highness, when will you arrive in Zhangwu County?"

"We've all been traveling for a day, it's true..."

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Bian looked for fame and saw Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi looking pale and listless.

Liu Bian was slightly unhappy: Compared with Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were portrayed as spoiled children who could not suffer much——

This will not work!

He must train Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi as soon as possible to prevent Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi from holding them back!

Cao Ang cannot be left behind either!
Clenching his hands into fists, he remembered that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came to him separately for a heart-to-heart talk:
Yuan Shao said: "Your Highness, do you think it will be safe for you to travel to Zhangwu County this time? Can you please bring my two useless sons with you? I hope that my sons can be baptized and grow up as soon as possible!"

Cao Cao said, "Your Highness, I have placed my eldest son with you. Can you still use it smoothly?"

Liu Bian: "..."

What else could Liu Bian say? - He can't say anything!

After all, Liu Bian's right-hand man will not come from the sky, he can only cultivate it manually... If he can cultivate these three guys, Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and make them his confidants, can he relax a little bit? ?

Thinking of this, he said unceremoniously: "Da Yuan, Er Yuan, you are too noisy! Even if you arrive in Zhangwu County, you must pay attention to the movements around Zhangwu County! I am so disappointed, you all Not as smart as your father!" After saying this, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's ears turned red and they didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Liu Bian regretted silently: If he really wanted to train his right-hand man, he should choose a few satisfactory talents?Such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, but... but the talents they trained were Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi?

Too bad there is no such thing.

If given the chance, I will definitely find Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi!

Liu Bian clenched his hands into fists and vowed. Before he could figure out how to find Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, he heard He Xian's voice outside the car, saying: "Your Highness, it's getting late. How about setting up camp at night?"

"Okay." Liu Bian said.

Then, Liu Bian watched the formation of the camp again after a few months:

One part of the infantry took out a huge tent made of cowhide from the baggage, and another part of the infantry cut down several nearby big trees, cut them into four straight wooden stakes, nailed them to the ground, and used them to prop up the tent. Several more infantrymen stepped on the extra tent corners and nailed them into the ground... In this way, military tents appeared one after another.

Several military tents were built in one place to form a camp.

When Liu Bian got out of the car, he saw everyone busy:

Some people went to the nearby forest to cut down some mulberry trees to drill wood for fire, and dug holes in the ground to set up small wooden frames.When the fire came out, some dry firewood was immediately placed to prevent the fire from extinguishing. After the fire stabilized, lamps were taken and distributed to the infantrymen in each tent.

Some people used porcelain pots to hold some corn from the luggage, washed it in the river, and then boiled it in water.

Some people simply went shirtless and dove into the river to catch fish.

Others go into the woods to dig wild vegetables, pick some edible fruits, or hunt...

After a while, everyone brought all kinds of food and put them into the water to boil.

Soon, wisps of light smoke rose from the deserted flat ground.

——This march has changed its flavor and turned into a survival game in the wild!

Liu Bian couldn't say anything, but it was interesting to see Liu Bei and others playing with the infantry:
Liu Bei led Zhang Fei around, and while eating with the infantry, they chatted in completely different ways; Zhang Fei had a tigerish face the whole time, as if he didn't like talking to the infantry; Guan Yu and Zhao Yun sat face to face, kneeling, and seemed to cherish each other. I feel that the expressions of the infantrymen around him are quite relaxed and comfortable; Jian Yong's sitting posture is really unrestrained, and his eating habits are really unique...

Wait a moment!Did some strange person break in?

Gazing intently at the figures of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Liu Bian lamented that Liu Bei was worthy of being Liu Bei and was really close to the people... No wonder he attracted the lifelong following of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in the future.

A trace of envy flashed in his eyes. Liu Bian wanted to get into Liu Bei's social circle, but... "Your Highness, is this dinner delicious?" Suddenly, Cao Ang's question sounded in his ears.

After coming back to his senses, Liu Bian glanced at Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi in front of him. He couldn't help feeling sad, and had a strange thought: Admit it!I admit that you are suitable to conquer the second generations such as Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, rather than the first generation such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei!

The age is there: the Han Emperor is equally matched with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others, but you, Liu Bian, are more than one generation lower than the other person out of thin air. You should focus on the children of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others!
Liu Bian: "..."

Tired of heart!

Some truths are just too ridiculous.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Cao Ang asked again.

Liu Bian waved his hand and sighed: "It's too difficult for me."

"What?" Cao Ang was confused.

Liu Bianshi refused angrily, not wanting to help Cao Ang and others solve their doubts at all.

"I am tired and want to rest," he said.

Cao Ang pointed his hand and said: "Your Highness, go this way!"

Then, Cao Ang and others sent Liu Bian to a tent.

Afterwards, Liu Bian slept in his clothes.As for Cao Ang and others, they took turns keeping vigil for Liu Bian.

But he was opposed by He Xian and other guards.

He Xian said: "How old are you? Go to bed quickly and build up enough strength to cope with Zhangwu County tomorrow?"

--joke!He Xian thought to himself: I have endured serving His Highness at such a close distance, but now I have to take away the opportunity to stay vigil?
Don't think about it! !
Cao Ang and others couldn't resist He Xian and the guards, so they had to sleep obediently.

It's a pity: no one can get a good rest.

Just as they were drifting off to sleep, everyone suddenly heard a heartbreaking scream coming from outside the tent!
Liu Bian was suddenly awakened.

"What, what's going on?" Liu Bian was taken aback and shouted, "What's going on? What happened?"

He Xian hurriedly entered the account, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness! It's not good! There is an enemy attack..."

what?
Liu Bian gasped and suddenly felt no longer sleepy: Enemy attack?
Who!

So bold!

Dare to play a sneak attack under the noses of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun...don't you want to live?

... When he first heard the news of the enemy attack, Liu Bian was not panicked at all, really.

Calmly, he said: "Do you know that Uncle Wang and others know?"

"——I don't know!" He Xian said firmly.

Liu Bian just wanted to be livid and said angrily: "You haven't sent someone to notify Uncle Wang and others yet!"

"Here!" He Xian trotted out of the tent for a while, then returned the same way, and came to see Liu Bian with a grunt, "Your Highness, Liu Sheren..."

"It's time to call Magistrate Liu." Liu Bian corrected.

He Xian wiped away the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and replied, "Magistrate Liu and others are already launching a counterattack."

"Very good!" He took a breath, "Next, we will hide here until Uncle Wang solves the problem."

He Xian: "..."

Things are turning, and this time it's He Xian's turn and he has nothing to say.

...At the same time, in different corners, Xun You and his party, who set off to return to Luoyang City, also encountered the same situation!
