Chapter 315 Nanshan Peach Blossom Spring ([-])
Liu Yu is indeed even more powerful now!
Maybe deep down in his heart, he still needs to be grateful to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao hadn't provoked Lu Bu, how could he have won such a vicious general?

After Dong Bi occupied Shuofang, Lv Bu vowed to open up the territory and create an inexhaustible achievement.

Therefore, he was actively preparing for the battle in Wuyuan, never expecting that Yuan Shao would attack his rear at such a time.

Lu Bu was shocked when he learned that Yuan Shao had entered the cloud.

But he didn't take Yuan Shao seriously. In Lu Bu's heart, the only person who could compete with him was Dong Pi.

but……

After a disastrous defeat in Yunzhong, he led Zhao to capture Wuyuan.

Zhang Liao, a general of Lu Bu's company, fled to Youzhou with the remnants of the defeated general before he could call him back in time.

Fortunately, the six generals of the direct line were still there, and Fu Xun, the counselor, summoned people to join him, and finally gathered 3000 people.

With just these 3000 people, it is impossible to take back Yunzhong.

Fu Xun is very capable, but not a qualified counselor.To be precise, Fu Xun is a talent who is good at managing internal affairs. He can let Lu Bu not worry about the supply of materials and soldiers in the rear, and he is quite capable of governing the local area.But in response to that sentence, the ruler is short and the inch is strong, and the military adviser who asked Fu Xun to make a plan really embarrassed him a bit.

After the news of Dong Zhuo's death came, Lv Bu knew that the general situation was over.

The most urgent thing at the moment is to find a place to stay. For nothing else, Lai Yinger is pregnant and cannot withstand the long journey.

So Fu Xun came up with an idea for him: take refuge in Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is a very shrewd person, and he has his own way of dealing with the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

After Dong Bi captured Shuofang, judging from the way Dong Bi dealt with the Hu people, it was not just a simple suppression and killing.

The combination of rigidity and softness is the best policy.

Liu Yu also knew that his temperament was soft. Since the death of Gongsun Zan, Youzhou lacked the suppression of hardliners, and the Xianbei people became more and more arrogant.Therefore, Youzhou must have a person with sufficient prestige and tough methods to sit in charge.

There is no doubt that Lu Bu, who has just participated in the killing of Huling, is undoubtedly a suitable character.

Lu Bu defected when he was at the end of his life, and Liu Yu naturally expressed his kindness.

Just at this time, Yuan Shao was looking forward to Shu, and actually made his mind on Youzhou. How could Liu Yu be soft on Yuan Shao?

Lu Bu wanted to take this opportunity to avenge his hatred, and at the same time show his strength to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou.

So, he faced his old opponent.

The last time Liu Bei caught Lu Bu by surprise, coupled with Yuan Shao and Helian's flanking attack, he withdrew from the cloud.

In Beiping, Liu Yu gave Lu Bu enough support, and at the same time sent an additional counselor for Lu Bu.

Tian Chou, a native of Youbeiping, is named Zitai.

This person is a member of the Tian clan, but he is not of the same clan as Qu Tianyu, who was part of Gongsun Zan's tribe earlier.

According to seniority, Tian Yu is three years younger than Tian Chou, but he is Tian Chou's uncle.Tian Chou is also a person who is good at change. When Gongsun Zan was the prefect of Yuyang earlier, he was quite wary of the Tian clan, so much so that he took refuge in Liu Yu.

Now is a good time, Lu Bu won Tian Chou, and he is very grateful to Liu Yu.

This is trust!
No matter what Liu Yu's purpose was, for Lu Bu who was almost at the end of his life, it was an indescribable touch.

There is Fu Xun inside, and Tian Chou outside...

After Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and only lost three thousand flying bears, and he was close to Banshi.

Feng Shui took turns. Earlier Liu Bei beat Lu Bu and fled, but now he was beaten by Lu Bu, terrified.

Ban's is not a strong city, to be precise, it is a stockade.

Lu Bu was wearing a golden armor of the Tang Dynasty and a battle robe of red satin and hundreds of flowers.Wearing a purple gold crown with bundled hair on his head, the feathers of a young chicken are swaying in the wind.

The red rabbit beast whistling under the crotch, and Fang Tian painted a halberd in his palm.

Shouted loudly outside Ban's city: "Wu that one ear, you used tricks earlier and joined forces with barbarian slaves to attack me... A certain family is here today, the thief in the city, how dare you fight me, Lu Bu, to the death?"

In the previous two battles, Liu Bei relied on sneak attacks to win, and then in Beiping, he was defeated by Lu Bu with sneak attacks.

Guan Yuwen Chou didn't have a real fight with Lu Bu. Although he knew that this vicious tiger, Lu Bu, had fought Dong Pi to a draw, he didn't know how powerful Lu Bu was.After the two looked at each other, Guan Gong twisted his beautiful beard with his hands, and Dan Feng narrowed his eyes, "Brother, I would like to fight and kill this vicious tiger!"

Liu Bei stood at the top of the city, looked at Lu Bu, his face was very calm, and it was obvious that he had just suffered a big defeat.

Glancing at the weak soldiers in the city, Liu Bei knew that at this time, a victory was really needed to boost morale.

Nodding immediately, "Second brother, be careful!"

Guan Gong immediately went down to the city, got on his horse and dragged his sword, and rushed out of the gate of Ban's city.

Qinglong Yanyue Dao fluttered and turned the blade. After Guan Yu was out of the city, he didn't say a word. He urged his horse to charge towards Lu Bu.Lu Bu was scolding, but Guan Yu would kill him after leaving the city without saying a word.

Fang Tian's painted halberd hung with an arc of light, and stabbed towards Guan Yu.

On the other hand, Guan Yu suddenly turned around on his horse back, his big knife flew up from the ground, and struck at Lu Bu with great force.

With a clang, as soon as the two fought, Lu Bu's eyes lit up.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu's broadsword, which was knocked out, suddenly made a very strange circle in the air, and fell lightly.

Lu Bu's pupils shrank involuntarily, the halberd fluttered, the crescent twig was hanging on the edge of the knife in the air, and was about to turn his hand to lock it, but saw the Qinglong Yanyue knife suddenly turned, and unexpectedly broke away from the twig, and followed Fang Tian to draw the halberd The spatula style just falls down.

Unexpectedly, there is such a strong general under Liu Bei's command?

Lu Bu became more and more excited and cheered up. With a slash from the eucalyptus, he turned over, opened his sword, and fought with Guan Yu.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than thirty rounds. Apart from gaining the upper hand at the beginning, Guan Yu gradually lost to Lu Bu.

At this time, Wen Chou, who was fighting for Guan Yu, rushed out with a gun and a galloping horse, shouting: "Brother, don't panic, Wen Chou is here!"

The Eight Treasures Packed Dragon Spear unleashed a non-returning marksmanship, stabbing directly at Lu Bu with tremendous force.

To be honest, if Lu Bu hadn't practiced his martial arts hard after the battle between Luoyang and Dong Pi, his halberd technique would have made great progress compared to when he was in Luoyang.Otherwise, it may not be possible to block the joint attack of Guan Yu and Wen Chou.Three people and three riders, horses circling in front of the formation, swords and halberds coming and going, it is extremely exciting.For a while, Lu Bu and the two were evenly matched, with neither winning nor losing.

When Liu Bei, who was holding the formation for the two, saw it, he took off the iron spear and rushed out of the formation.

The three teamed up to fight fiercely in front of Ban's formation.

Lu Bu was attacked by the three of Liu Bei, and gradually he couldn't resist it.

Cao Xing and Hao Meng couldn't help but frowned.The two of them knew that Lu Bu was arrogant and didn't like others to help.

If you go out at this time, instead of being praised, you will be reprimanded.

Lu Bu was beaten out of breath by the three men, and his halberd techniques gradually became disorganized.Guan Yu's sword is heavy, Wen Chou's spear is fast... Although Liu Bei is not as good as the two, he keeps looking for his openings to attack him like a fly, which makes Lu Bu unable to concentrate.

"One ear, shameless thief..."

Seeing that Lu Bu was out of support, Tian Chou suddenly waved his command flag, and with the sound of war drums, two troops suddenly rushed out from both sides of Ban's village.

Wei Xu on the left and Hou Cheng on the right each led a thousand flying bear troops into the formation.

When the three of Liu Bei saw it, they immediately knew something was wrong.Turning around to rescue Ban's village, but was entangled by Lu Bu.

A bloody battle, from noon to dusk.

Liu Bei's army was defeated and retreated. After Lu Bu chased and killed him for ten miles, Fang Zhang won the victory and returned to Shiban.

Since then, Yuan Shao's army was completely driven out of Youzhou, and Liu Bei gathered up the remnants, secretly complaining in his heart...

I'm afraid that in this way, it will be difficult to explain to Yuan Shao!
Could it be that, as Ziyuan said, he really wanted to take refuge in that junior?

Liu Bei hesitated.

Xu You once gave Liu Bei an idea: Yuan Shao has three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the youngest son Yuan Shang.

Among them, Yuan Shang's mother, the Liu family, was quite loved by Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shang himself is extremely intelligent...

The three brothers were not very harmonious, and the Liu family wanted Yuan Shang to take over Yuan Shao's class, and often suppressed Yuan Tan.

As long as Liu Bei moves closer to Yuan Shang, his life will be safe.

When the time is right, break away from Yuan Shao's department, the sea and the sky will be brighter, let him gallop!

But the key point is that Yuan Shang is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it would be embarrassing for Liu Bei to seek refuge with a nephew.

But in this situation, there is only this way.

Liu Bei made up his mind, and immediately ordered someone to report to Dingxiang Xu You, asking Xu You to contact Yuan Shang secretly to show his loyalty.

******
Liu Bei is looking for a way out, but Dong Bi is having a headache in Nanshan.

This Nanshan is actually the Qinling Mountains we usually call, but it is not the Qinling Mountains in a broad sense, but simply refers to a section of mountains at the junction of Weinan, Sanfu and Liangzhou (now central Shaanxi Province).Because it is located in the south of Guanzhong, it is also known as Nanshan.

Gaobaiyin, which is about 2000 meters.

The fault on the north side has collapsed, and the mountain is majestic, like a screen wall.

Tai Shigong once mentioned in "Historical Records", saying that the Qinling Mountains are the greatest obstacle in the world and have the title of the danger of Kyushu.

If you don't enter Nanshan, you don't know the complexity of the mountain road.

This Nanshan is like the waist of a bee, with several branches from east to west.

When he first entered Nanshan, he could still tell the direction, but after going deeper into it, Dong Pi found that the foothills were like a maze, making people dizzy.There are ferocious beasts such as vipers and clouded leopards in the mountains, which often attack the team.

Fortunately, Dong Bi spent his last life in the mountains, so he knows how to live in the mountains.

That period of memory seemed to be very blurred, but when Dong Bi picked it up again, it was very handy.

However, with such a large group of people, it is inevitable that some people will still be attacked by insects, snakes and beasts.

Especially when camping at night, because of the hot weather, poisonous insects were often infested. In just a dozen days, nearly a hundred people were killed or injured.

Later, it was Hua Tuo who found a plant that freed soldiers from the plague of poisonous insects.But for Dong Bi and his group, this poisonous bug was just the beginning, and the real test came soon.

How to tell the direction in this maze of mountains?
How can thousands of people maintain smooth communication all the time?

A series of questions were placed in front of Dong Bi.Especially the problem of direction... The team stretched for more than ten miles, and it was inevitable that various situations such as falling behind and getting lost would occur.Occasionally, small groups of people disappear without a trace.

The more you go into the mountains, the more serious the phenomenon of soldiers slipping away.

Dong Bi was sitting by the campfire, holding a long black stone in his hand, playing with it over and over, thoughtful.

Cai Yong and Liu Hong walked over and couldn't help being surprised when they saw the stone in Dong Bi's hand.

"Xiping, what are you doing with a magnet?"

Dong Bi looked at Liu Hong in surprise, "Teacher, do you recognize it?"

"Nonsense, why don't I recognize it? This thing existed in the Warring States Period, and it is also recorded in the Shan Hai Jing that there is a magnet on the mountain, and there is gold and copper under it. Hehe, isn't it because of this that Sinan was made out of it? Is it...Xiping, you don't mean to use this as Si Nan, right... Didn't your brother-in-law find two deputy Si Nans in the Treasury in Hu County?"

"No, I was thinking, how to equip every army with this thing. At least it can keep everyone from getting lost in the mountains."

"Difficult, very difficult... It's not easy to have a Sinan for every 50 people. Not to mention anything else, such a magnet can only make one Sinan. A Sinan for a hundred people requires at least [-] yuan of the same magnet. If It's easy to handle in normal times, but now..."

Liu Hong shook his head again and again.

But Dong Bi seems to have listened to it, but he doesn't seem to have listened to it.

compass?I was a forest ranger in my previous life, but I was specially trained on how to make a compass.

The current Sinan is actually the predecessor of the later compass.But it is very big, and it is very troublesome to carry.

Dong Bi knows how to make a compass, but the biggest problem is the magnetic needle inside the compass.

"Cheng Li!"

"Here!"

"Go to Mr. Yuan Tan and see if he has steel needles for acupuncture...they are steel needles, not gold or silver needles... Also, ask He Yi to ask grandma if she has any sewing needles Things like that. Oh, if grandma doesn’t have them, you can ask Tiger Girl. The girl’s family will definitely bring these things.”

Cai Yong wondered: "Xiping, do you want to mend clothes? Just do it for those women!"

Dong Bi shook his head, smiled but did not answer.

After a while, Cheng Li came running over with a pack of sewing needles.

Dong Bi took out a sewing needle and rubbed it lightly on the magnet.This is a very simple method of artificial magnetization.

Then he ordered someone to bring Sinan here.

On the other hand, he took a throwing knife he got from Dong Lu and began to think about it.

Soon, a simple compass was made.Dong Bi first used Si Nan to identify the direction, and then took out a self-made compass, but there was no difference.After distinguishing the north from the south, Dong Bi summed up a sentence based on the experience of later generations.

Up north down south, left west right east.

As long as the north can be distinguished, other directions will become easier immediately.

Cai Yong was still a little ignorant, but Liu Hong had guessed the reason behind it.You know, if Liu Hongruo is placed in later generations, he will be an astronomer.He was most surprised by this kind of thing, grabbed Dong Bi and questioned him all night.

Don't underestimate these eight characters!
At that time, these eight words were enough to have a huge effect.

Dong Bi had people build five hundred sets of simple compasses overnight, one set for ten people. After a period of trial, the effect was very obvious.The number of people who were left behind and lost their way was significantly reduced, and everyone looked at Dong Bi differently.

As mentioned before, artificial magnetization was an unimaginable thing at that time.

Building Sinan is very complicated.

However, Dong Bi used the simplest method, which is to apply wax in the middle of the magnetic needle, then stick a silk thread on it, and hang it in a windless place to show the direction.This is called the thread hanging method. According to normal history, it should come from the hands of Shen Kuo during the Northern Song Dynasty.Dong Bi relied on the memory of later generations to advance this hanging method by 1000 years, which can be said to be one day.

After the direction problem was solved, the speed of the march also increased.

Dong Bi's mood gradually improved, but this good mood did not last for a few days, and a new trouble came before him.
