Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 201 The human world is never a pure land

People, people all over the mountains and plains.

They headed into the woods and ran across the river bank.

There were even fierce men who couldn't see clearly in the crowd and rushed into the vacuum around Zhang Fei in a panic.

The Third Master was in his sage time, and this unarmed young man did not trigger his killing instinct, so he calmly allowed him to turn around and leave, and swarmed back into the crowd.

Just pretend nothing happened.jpg

Zhang Rao died, and none of the soldiers who treated him so kindly and favored him tried to avenge his commander. They all threw away the corpses of their meal stamps, fearing that they would be a step too late for others.

The cannon fodder in front could not advance even an inch. Seeing that all the supervising troops in the rear had fled, they followed Sayazi and ran away.

Viewed from a height, the thick formation, which had no structure at all, began to fall apart from back to front at a rapid pace, like melting snow.

The rear team changes to the front team, and if it runs faster than the friendly forces, it will be considered a success!

Tens of thousands of people blocked the narrow crossing, trying to squeeze out a way out. Those who rushed out could not help but look back, their faces filled with the joy of surviving the disaster, and then ran towards the other side of the river with all their strength.

This state of vitality and competition between all things makes Xu Jiashu feel familiar - come to think of it, isn't the cafeteria open for meals?

Shaking his head to get rid of this inexplicable thought, he continued to search for Guan Yu.

Judging from this situation, the one who died should be the commander-in-chief on the opposite side, but I don’t know which leader of the Yellow Turbans was so unlucky to meet two of the world’s most powerful generals, Guan and Zhang.

As far as the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are concerned, only one Guan Hai is famous. This is because he acted as a villain in the story of Xuande's rescue of Kong Rong. The other Yellow Turban leaders did not leave much reputation.

After all, although they appear to be the most powerful among the Yellow Turban remnants everywhere, in fact they just take advantage of the rogue bandit's fighting style, and they happen to meet an opponent like Jiao He. They are able to expand infinitely due to the right time and place. In essence, they are just puffed up.

Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled who made up the numbers, there were only about 100,000 young men and women, scattered among a few Qu Shuai's men.

Even because they were accustomed to burning, killing and looting, the banditry habits were long-standing and difficult to change. As a result, the Qingzhou soldiers in history were not an elite force. Instead, they were used as a breakthrough many times to cause the entire line to collapse. After defeat, they still persisted in looting.

Let's put it this way, as the first pot of gold in Boss Cao's warlord career, the well-established army lasted for twenty-eight years from its establishment to the time of Cao Cao's death. None of Cao Cao's generals came from the Qingzhou Army, and none of them specialized in Not even a single Qingzhou soldier general is known to manage the Qingzhou soldiers.

At that time, a general in Cao Wei usually commanded about 5,000 soldiers, but the tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers did not have a well-known general. This shows how unworthy these people were, and even Wei Emperor Wu could not lead them.

This kind of amateur armed force that relies purely on quantity is what Boss Cao uses as a treasure when he has no capital. Now this version that has not been trained by Cao Cao directly encounters a top-match lineup like Liu Guanzhang, and it is really like destroying everything.

The neat Xiliang horses were like rocks in the flowing water. They stood motionless among the crowd and were particularly conspicuous. Guan Yu quickly joined the crowd, holding Zhang Rao's head in his hand.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked calm, not surprised at all by this kind of thing.

Don't act like you've never seen the world before, just sit down, it's just a routine operation.

"Yun Changzhen is a divine man!"

Seeing that his face was as red as usual (meaning as red as usual) and that his breathing was not disordered, Xu Jiashu couldn't help but praise him.

Don't blame me for praising people for not having any new ideas. Now he can finally understand why Boss Cao respects Guan Yu so much - this man disappears when he is not careful, and when he reappears, the enemy general has already beheaded him. What is he other than a god?

Although Lu Lingqi didn't care about her appearance, she couldn't help but look at the red-faced and bearded man repeatedly from the corner of her eye. Apart from the soldiers in front of Zhang Rao, she was probably the only one who witnessed Guan Yu taking the lead from a distance. process.

This guy is a pure monster.

She couldn't help but imagine that in the same scene, if Guan Yunchang launched a beheading action towards Xu Zimao, I was afraid that she would only have one chance. If she couldn't hit his vital point, then she would have to try to shoot a horse. But what if he had changed his horse at that time? What to do with a good horse?

For example, our own Red Rabbit is not only very fast when running, but also quite spiritual. It is extremely difficult to hit when running at high speed.

How does this work?

As a deputy general, Lu Lingqi must save Xu Zimao's life no matter what!

Um.

Miss Lu secretly thought that the best way is for Xu Zimao to hold him back for a while, and it will be much easier to handle when the horse slows down.

He looked at Xu Zimao, who was still having fun - this kid, relying on his talent, has never seen him practicing martial arts. What if he really encounters a monster?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly reached out and punched Xu Jiashu, and said with a cold face: "Practice your martial arts well when you go back. I will supervise you."

"Why?" Ignoring Miss Lu's symbolic Muay Thai warning, Xu Jiashu stood up and argued, "I, Xu Zimao, am today where I am today because of my extraordinary talent. Oh, don't hold on, I practice, I practice, I practice again. Isn’t it okay?”

"Hmph!" Lu Lingqi then put down her hands that were pulling her ears and whispered: "That's about right."

Xu Zimao likes to make friends with people who are skilled in martial arts, but how can there be any reason in the world that anyone can be a friend? If you meet someone you can't make friends with, it will be too late to regret that you didn't practice martial arts well.

What's more, there are so many monsters in the world, and there are two of them among these three brothers!

I have to say that the performance of Guan and Zhang in this battle really shocked Miss Lu. Considering that she had never seen Lu Bu on the battlefield, the two brothers of Gao Tangling in front of her were enough to refresh her. The cognitive limit has been reached.

These two guys might not be able to compete with my father!

Xu Jiashu didn't know the twists and turns in the young lieutenant's heart. He just said that after the overall situation was decided, the jealousy in Miss Lu's heart finally burst out. She quickly covered her ears and pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy. .

"pain"

He turned his back to everyone, raised his head and looked at Lu Lingqi, trying to imitate Kunkun in making a cute expression - just like dog eyes, which the straight man doesn't need to learn, and he can't learn it.

For example, Xu Jiashu is not very good at studying now, at least far behind Kun Kun.

But it happened that Miss Lu, under the influence of her father, had been a tomboy since she was a child. Even when she grew up, she didn't have any lady friends. She usually only played archery and hunting. Where had she seen such a scene?

The two of them were not of a high rank, so the novices were pecking each other back and forth.

"Huh?" Miss Lu thought she had really hurt him, so she urged her mount to come forward to check, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Let me take a look."

But before he got completely close, he noticed another very annoying presence - Dong Bai in Xu Jiashu's arms.

I almost forgot about her.

Seeing Dong Bai blinking his eyes and pretending to be innocent, Lu Lingqi was furious. She took a deep breath, and her body drew an exaggerated curve.

you again!

how old are you!

Anyway, the enemy general was beheading him and the Yellow Turbans were fleeing. She was too lazy to endure it for the sake of the overall situation. She stretched out her hand and was about to slide the little girl off the horse when another plan suddenly came to her mind.

I have a plan.jpg

Hao Wan, who was hanging in the air, turned around, passed over Dong Bai in Xu Jiashu's arms, put it on his ear, and started to rub it gently.

"Does it still hurt?" She stepped forward and asked in a low voice, one part sincere and one part pretentious: "I accidentally used a little force. You won't blame me, right?"

Seeing this, Xu Jiashu was determined - a great success!

"It still hurts." He took advantage of the victory and complained aggrievedly: "It's so cold, and my ears already hurt from the cold, but you still pull them."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to refuse Miss Lu's service.

If I had to say it, it would be like a green tea that "don't worry about it."

Take advantage! At this point, Lu Lingqi finally came to her senses - it had been colder than this many times along the way, and she never complained that her ears hurt from the cold. Why did she suddenly do this now?

Is this guy just pretending?

However, Miss Lu did not intend to expose Xu Zimao's disguise. Instead, she followed the words and asked, "Then let me get closer and rub it for you."

As he said this, he got off his horse, rode with him, and sat behind him.

"No!" Dong Bai finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to stop, "It's too crowded here!"

Seemingly realizing that there was something wrong with her statement, she quickly explained: "The deputy envoy is tall. I'm afraid the horse won't be able to sit on it, so it's better not to get on."

Hearing this, Miss Lu paused, raised her head and asked, "What about you?"

No, being in the public eye, dismounting is completely admitting defeat, and you will lose face!

Dong Bai thought about it and decided to choose the lesser of two evils.

"I'm very small and can't take up much space." In order to avoid mentioning the biggest pain point of being "short", she wisely chose to rephrase, "The horse can bear it, it'll be fine."

"."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Jiashu, who thought the situation was under control just now, finally discovered that Lu Lingqi's target was not herself at all, but Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, and her intention was Peigong! And looking at this, Dong Bai couldn't resist it and was completely at a disadvantage!

"Um...", an idea flashed in my mind, "Brother Xuande, where is your Eight Hundred Parts?"

His thoughts became smoother and smoother. Xu Jiashu pointed at the Yellow Turbans who were retreating like ants and said: "After all, there are tens of thousands of people here. We can't stay long, so we'd better join them early."

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi just gave up.

When I got back on the horse, I felt happy, and even the turbulent waves temporarily calmed down a little as my breathing eased.

It was clear that the outcome was decided.

After all, the Xiliang cavalry behind him was obviously protecting this person, and it was unrealistic to force her off the horse. It was already a big victory for her to show weakness, and it was enough to vent her unhappiness these days.

Miss Lu looked at Liu Bei with beautiful eyes, and suddenly remembered something.

With the terrifying fighting power displayed by Guan and Zhang, what kind of monster would it take to make them obey and not dare to disobey at all?

It's hard to say. Lu Lingqi felt that even if Liu Xuande killed a tiger with his bare hands in front of her eyes, she probably wouldn't be too surprised. In addition, he was using extremely rare double swords, which made it even more unpredictable and confusing. The road is numbered.

"Uh"

Liu Bei was enjoying watching the play when he was suddenly cueed and seemed a little caught off guard. Then he looked around on his horse, trying to find the Eight Hundred Steps that he said was "inseparable from life to death".

No.

still none.

Nowhere.

A few drops of sweat flowed from his forehead to his temples. He raised his sleeve to wipe it. He really didn't know how to make up for the boast he had just made.

In the end, it was the Xiliang cavalry brought by others to complete the attack around the back. If the two sworn brothers hadn't stolen the show, they would have lost their old face here.

"Perhaps the formation of the bandit army is too thick and I haven't seen it yet," Liu Bei suggested apologetically and guiltily, "We might as well head directly towards the camp and join them."

Miss Lu on the side saw his honest and enthusiastic look, and did not feel that her guess was wrong. Instead, she frowned slightly and became even more wary of this Gaotang Ling - this person's skills are definitely among the best in the world, and may even be better than those of Gaotang Ling. My father is still strong.

What's even more frightening is that despite being extremely skilled in martial arts, he is still willing to be patient and not take action, which shows that he is still an extremely cautious warrior!

"This Liu Bei is obviously very strong but too cautious."

Unknowingly, in Lu Lingqi's mind, Liu Bei has become an image of an invincible but willing to stay in a low position, a hidden master. Not only is it not to be underestimated, it is simply unfathomable!

"As Brother Xuande said," Xu Jiashu nodded, as long as Miss Lu and Dong Bai don't quarrel again, "Then let's go back."

The Xiliang cavalry behind them moved with them, advancing in a slow and neat formation.

After Zhang Rao's death, the main force of the Yellow Turbans had long abandoned the frontline troops and fled. Those with faster feet had crossed the river. The remaining cannon fodder had to step aside as they dared not touch their troubles.

"Don't kill me." An old man couldn't dodge, so he simply sat down on the ground and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, "I still have a lot of land in my family, and these land deeds are all for you, all of them, don't kill me. "

Xu Jiashu could see that his clothes were made of high quality materials, but they were already extremely tattered. Even the yellow scarf tied around his head was stained with dim and mottled blood. It was not fresh. He had been tied by countless hands. Several heads.

In the previous battle, he must have been hiding far behind, otherwise there would not be any fresh blood on his body.

His body was covered with dense whip marks, and he must have been severely beaten by the supervising team. If Zhang Rao hadn't transferred the supervising team away, he might have died in their hands long ago.

As soon as Xu Jiashu raised his hand, the Xiliang cavalry stopped instantly, preventing him from being trampled into a withered bone by the Liangzhou horse. Seeing this, the old man hurried forward and offered all his wealth like a treasure. These were the wealth he had accumulated over generations. , is also the only thing that supports him to survive.

"Old man, you'd better keep it for yourself," Xu Jiashu shook his head, "Find a place without war and spend your remaining years peacefully."

He really couldn't bear to tell the old man that although this thing was well-kept - at least in better condition than the bruised old man himself, it had already become worthless.

The entire Qingzhou has been turned into ruins and order has been lost. Who will acknowledge a few scraps of paper?

"."

The old man raised his head blankly, first looking at the young general who saved his life, and then at the land deed in his hand, touching his lips up and down, "Where can I live my old age in peace, all my children are dead. "

There wasn't much anger in his tone, not even much pain, it was like cold ashes, leaving only a little sadness.

It's not that he doesn't know that the land deed is useless, it's just that he has lost his children and has nothing else to think about.

Hearing this, Xu Jiashu also fell silent.

I do know some peaceful places - Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, or to be more confident, Anding County in Liangzhou, but this old man probably can't even leave Qingzhou, so what's the point of talking about those places?

Even if he didn't die now, or even if he was lucky enough to survive today, he would not be able to live long without the support of the Yellow Turban Army after losing his cannon fodder value.

Xu Jiashu knew all this, but he had no choice.

In the huge Qingzhou, there are more than a million displaced people?

"Yes," he sighed and said softly, "It's the same everywhere, this world has never been a pure land."
