Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 4 Getting into trouble again

"How do you know that I'm not the emperor's uncle's nephew?" Liu Jing looked into Liu Pi's eyes without fear.

Since Liu Pi participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping, he has moved to the north and south for more than ten years. He has known countless people and has rich life experience. In his eyes, what he saw was a kind of self-confidence, a kind of calmness that was different from ordinary people, which was a calm expression that ordinary impostors could not achieve.

"How can you prove that you are the uncle's nephew?"

"The emperor's uncle studied under Lu Zhi and was friends with Gongsun Zan. In the early years of Zhongping, the emperor's uncle and his second brother Guan Zhang fought against the Yellow Turbans in Zhuo County. They made many military exploits, but were hated by the middle officials. According to Ping Yuan, saving Xuzhou, fighting against Cao bandits, being worshiped by the Han emperor as the emperor's uncle and Zuo general, and conspiring with Dong Cheng and others to eradicate the country's bandits, can these be used as evidence?"

Liu Pi stared at Liu Jing for a long time, then slowly withdrew his sword, and said coldly: "If you dare to impersonate, I will cut you into pieces!"

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "Uncle Huang was forced by Cao Jun and is surrounded by enemies. What good does it do for me to pretend to be his nephew at this time?"

"Of course there will be benefits!"

Seeing that they were exhausted, Liu Pi waved his hand and said, "Prepare them a small tent, and give them meat rice!"

. . . . . . . . .

"My lord, you still have a way to coax them. If they suspect that you are a spy of Cao Jun and you suffer, how can there be meat rice?" Li praised Liu Jing vaguely.

Liu Jing, however, seemed a little preoccupied. He pretended to be Liu Bei's nephew temporarily. On the one hand, he wanted to make a living. On the other hand, he didn't want to be treated as a spy of Cao Jun, tortured, and tied up in the end. He needed to remain free. body, escape at any time.

He lowered his voice and said: "We are full, let's escape in the dark!"

"Why?" Wu Xiu was stunned.

"We probably entered the battle zone. They are obviously defeated and defeated soldiers. They are likely to be surrounded by Cao Jun again. It is extremely dangerous to be with them. We must escape as soon as possible."

Wu Xiu was stunned and nodded again and again, "Your Highness!"

"Anyway, let's fill up our stomach first!"

Liu Jing was really hungry, so he picked up the bowl and ate it. This was the first meat meal he ate in the Three Kingdoms era, but he didn't expect it to be horse meat rice.

. . . . . . .

In the middle of the night, Liu Jing tied the leather bag to his body and kicked Wu Xiu awake, "Let's go!"

Wu Xiu was still not awake, so he got up in a daze and followed him to the outside of the tent. Liu Jing probed to the left corner and saw that the big man who watched them was curled up under a tree and fell asleep.

"Come on!"

Liu Jing waved his hand and led Wu Xiu, who had just woken up, to the edge of the camp. When he came in, he noticed that there was a gap in the northeast corner of the camp. It seemed that there were not many defensive troops.

The two rushed to the gap, and sure enough, the defense was lax. Dozens of guards hid in the corner and slept. The two were overjoyed and ran towards the gap. Suddenly, Liu Jing grabbed Wu Xiu and pushed him to squat down. .

"what happened?"

Liu Jing rubbed his eyes and stared out of the camp. Under the dim moonlight, he saw a group of black shadows slowly approaching the gap in the camp. After dozens of steps away, Liu Jing was so startled that his heart would jump out of his chest. Cao Jun is going to attack the camp.

He pulled Wu Xiu up and ran back, shouting: "Cao Jun is here! Cao Jun is here!"

The shouts woke up the sleeping defenders, and they also noticed movement outside, so they immediately rang the gongs and drums.

'when!when!when! The ear-piercing sound of gongs reverberated in the camp, and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos. Cao Jun, who was about to attack outside, came shouting and charged.

Liu Pi rushed out of the tent with a knife and shouted sharply: "All brothers rise up and fight, if Cao Jun breaks through the camp, no one will survive!"

More than [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army rushed to the front of the camp. The camp was built on the hillside, and the terrain was dangerous. As long as the defense was proper, Cao Jun could not attack for a while.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army had no way out, so they had to fight their backs. Their morale was gradually stimulated.

At this moment, drums were beating loudly at the foot of the mountain, and flames shot up to the sky from all sides. Cao's army of thousands of people rushed over from the north. This was the army of general Gao Lan, and another army from the south came. The coach of more than ten thousand Cao Jun.

When Yu Jin heard that the sneak attack had failed, he couldn't help being furious, "The Yellow Turbans dare to bully me, attack me on three sides!"

Cao Jun's drums were loud, and [-] Cao Jun attacked the camp from three directions, north, south, and central. The soldiers rushed towards the camp like a tide, and arrows shot at the camp. . . . . .

"My lord, let's run from the back mountain!" Wu Xiu had never experienced such a big battle before, he was so frightened that he shuddered, and held Liu Jing tightly, for fear that he would leave him and run away.

Liu Jing had no intention of running away from the back mountain at this time. He had just escaped at an hourly speed two days ago, but unexpectedly fell into a melee again.

Although he has no experience in combat, he is very clear-headed. Their Cao army must have sealed off the back mountain, and escaping is a dead end.

"We have no way out except to hope that the Yellow Turban Army can persevere."

Liu Jing smiled wryly. He found that the situation was more severe than he thought. In the melee, let alone Liu Bei's nephew, even pretending to be Cao Cao's father was useless.

"Then what should we do, are we going to die here?" Wu Xiu almost cried with a sad voice.

Liu Jing glanced at him contemptuously. He originally thought that this assistant was good, knowledgeable and reasonable, dared to pretend to be Liu Biao's nephew, and had the courage to do great things.

But when death came, the other side of his timidity and fear of death was fully exposed. Liu Jing saw through this person. He let himself pretend to be Liu Biao's nephew just to give Liu Biao an explanation. He was afraid that Liu Biao would punish him. In fact, he had nothing to do with it. With great courage, he is just a cowardly villain in his bones.

Liu Jing was really bored in his heart, he broke free from Wu Xiu's hand, and said coldly: "No one wants to die now, but it's God's will if they really want to die, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"

He ignored Wu Xiu, and strode towards the camp. The battle in front of the camp was extremely fierce. The Yellow Turban Army occupied a favorable position, and the wood and stones fell like hailstones, repelling Cao's army time and time again. The cloth ball that has been soaked in water, when Cao Jun's rocket shoots in, will rush up to extinguish it immediately.

Although the Yellow Turban Army fought bravely and had high morale, Liu Pi was worried and stood under a tree staring into the distance.

"What is the general worried about?" Liu Jing stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Liu Pi sighed, "I'm afraid that Cao's army will be besieged. The food in the army has been cut off, so we can only kill horses to satisfy our hunger. If Cao's army is besieged for five days, we will be finished."

"Has the general ever thought of surrendering?"

Liu Pi shook his head, "I heard that Cao Cao issued an order to kill all the Yellow Turbans in Runan this time. Surrender is also death."

Speaking of this, Liu Pi patted Liu Jing's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile, "Whether you are the uncle's nephew or not, I still want to thank you tonight. If you hadn't found Cao Jun in time, we would all be finished."

Liu Jing's face became hot, he knew that Liu Pi had actually seen through him, if he was really Liu Bei's nephew, he would not have thought of running away in the middle of the night.

"What is the general's plan?"

"I want to break out and go back to Ancheng County first, and then go south if it doesn't work."

Liu Jing shook his head, "Ancheng County has been captured by Xia Houyuan's iron cavalry. General Gong's army was wiped out. I met him on the road. It is impossible for the general to go south. I advise the general to stick to the camp and wait for Uncle Liu Huang to come to rescue."

When Liu Pi heard that Ancheng County had been destroyed and the entire army of Gong Du was wiped out, Liu Pi's face turned pale. This was his last hope, and it was also shattered.

"Uncle Liu Huang can't take care of himself, how can he take care of me?"

Liu Pi lost all thoughts, turned around and walked towards the camp wearily, Liu Jing followed behind him and said: "General, Uncle Liu Huang will definitely come to rescue us!"

There was a sneer at the corner of Liu Pi's mouth, "Is it because his nephew is here?"

"no!"

Liu Jing said anxiously: "If he doesn't come to rescue us, he won't be Uncle Liu. General, defending the camp to the death is our only way to survive."

Liu Pi stopped, thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps you are right. Uncle Liu's benevolence spreads throughout the world. If he doesn't come to save me, he will lose his trust in the world."

Liu Pi's spirit was cheered up again, and he bowed to Liu Jing gratefully, "Thank you, my lord, for clarifying the confusion, Liu Pi almost missed a big deal."

He roared, "Hold the camp for me, if the camp is broken, no one will survive!"

. . . . . . . . .

Cao Jun's five attacks were all repulsed by the Yellow Turban Army by taking advantage of the right time and place. More than a thousand people were killed or injured.

At this time, Gao Lan came in a hurry with two Yellow Turban prisoners of war, "General, this is the enemy patrolling we caught. We have good news!"

"What good news?" Yu Jin asked, glaring at the two prisoners.

Gao Lan kicked two Yellow Turban prisoners of war to the ground, "Say it!"

A prisoner of the Yellow Turban Army said tremblingly: "The food in the camp has been cut off, so we can only survive by killing horses, and we can last for five days at most."

The news made Yu Jin narrow his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then Gao Lan stepped forward and said, "Since the enemy army is running out of food, why not besiege them!"

Yu Jin shook his head, "Liu Bei has already fled to the west, the prime minister only gave us two days, I don't want to wait any longer."

He resolutely issued an order, "Pass my order, the army will evacuate immediately!"

. . . . . . . . . .

At dawn, the Yellow Turban Army unexpectedly discovered that Cao Jun had withdrawn, and the camp was full of cheers. Liu Pi was also overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The army descends the mountain and retreats to the east!"

When Liu Jing heard the order to go down the mountain, he was very anxious and rushed to Liu Pi's side and shouted: "General, this is Cao Jun's trick to lure troops. If you go down the mountain and wipe out the whole army, you can't evacuate. You should send someone to send a letter to the emperor asking for help! "

Liu Pi had run out of food, and he didn't want to kill any more horses. How could he listen to Liu Jing's persuasion, and said angrily, "Who the hell are you? How dare you disturb our army's morale? If you dare to say anything more, I will kill you!" .”

Liu Jing didn't expect him to turn his face so quickly. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Okay! I wish the general a smooth journey."

Liu Pi sneered, "You pretend to be the emperor's uncle's nephew, do you want to run away now? Dreaming!"

He ordered around, "Tie these two up and bring them to the emperor!"
