The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 92 Heading to Jiangxia
Both Qiao and Qiao couldn't understand, but Qiao Guo soon realized that although he hadn't met Sun Ce, he had heard that Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, was extremely brave, so he thought what Li Yuan said made sense, and asked Said: "Then why is Xuzhou better than Jingzhou?"

"Xuzhou was very rich under Tao Qian's governance, not much worse than Jingzhou. Although Jingzhou changed hands recently, Li Yuan was a man of great talent and strategy. It didn't take much effort to capture Xuzhou, let alone hurt any people. In addition, he His generals are like clouds, Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu are resourceful men, and their soldiers are brave in battle. Under his protection, no prince can threaten Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is not far from Wancheng, even closer than going to Jingzhou. It’s closer, so going to Xuzhou is the best choice.”

Li Yuan explained carefully to Mr. Qiao Guo, just to let him go to Xuzhou to Xiapi.After pondering for a long time, Qiao Guolao nodded and said, "Mr. Li is right. If that's the case, I'll go to Xuzhou later."

Seeing that Qiao Guolao was persuaded by himself, Li Yuan was very happy, and continued: "Now Xiapi in Xuzhou is Li Yuan's new administration, so it is most suitable to settle in Xiapi, but if you go to Xiapi from Lujiang, there is a [-]% chance that you will meet Yuan. Yao, so we must take a detour."

"That's right, going to Lujiang now is to send mutton to the household registration, and Yuan Yao will definitely recognize him, so how should we go to Xiapi by detour?" Qiao Guolao suddenly found that Li Yuan knew a lot, and felt that his identity would not Simple.

"I can go west to Jiangxia first, and then take a boat from Jiangxia to Chaisang. From Chaisang, I can go to Yuzhang by land, and then go to Danyang from Yuzhang. After a day's rest in Danyang, I can go to Jianye's Jiangxi. Going to the port, you can take a boat from Jiangjiang to Guangling to reach Xuzhou, and once you enter Xuzhou, you don't have to worry about Yuan Yao's pursuit."

Li Yuan has already planned the route. Although the journey is far away, it is indeed much safer than returning to Lujiang. After all, he only brought Xu Zhu and twenty Tiger Guard soldiers with him. No matter how brave he is, he cannot defeat Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops. .

If there is no need to go to Sun Ce, Li Yuan can make an appointment with Hua Xiong of Shouchun to meet him before departure. As long as Huaxiong's army goes out of Shouchun to attack Lujiang, Yuan Shu will be too busy to deal with Li Yuan. You can take the opportunity to return to Shouchun, but you still have to go to Danyang to find Sun Ce, so this strategy is useless at all.

Seeing that Li Yuan was confident, Qiao Guolao had no choice but to accept his proposal, "In that case, let's do what Mr. Li said."

"Master Li, I have a question in my heart, can you answer it for me?" Qiao Guolao asked.

"Please tell me, Mr. Qiao."

"Can you tell me your true identity? With your talent, I always feel that your identity is not simple. You can think about the retreat route so thoughtfully. I'm afraid you have been prepared for a long time." Qiao Guolao is human after all. It is not so easy to be deceived by Li Yuan because of his maturity.

Li Yuan was a little surprised. He underestimated Qiao Guo's old age. After all, the other party had lived for decades, so how could he be deceived so easily, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, I have no ill intentions towards you." , Everything I do is for you."

"In this case, why is Mr. Li unwilling to tell me his real identity?" Not only Qiao Guolao, but even the younger and younger Qiao were curious about who Li Yuan was.

"Excuse me, Mr. Qiao. I can't tell you who you are for the time being. I have heard that Qiao, the younger and younger in Wancheng, is beautiful and beautiful. However, Yuan Shu has already occupied Lujiang River. He will attack Wancheng soon. When he finds out that he is so beautiful, he will definitely not let go." But, that’s why I specially came here to invite you to go to Xuzhou. I didn’t expect Yuan Yao to have already taken a fancy to you before Yuan Shu was dispatched. It’s really unpredictable. Please forgive me. I can tell you when I get to Xuzhou My true identity." Li Yuan apologized.

When Da Qiao heard that Li Yuan praised her and Xiao Qiao's beauty, she felt a little shy. She wondered if Li Yuan liked them and that's why he came to find them. This time, she really guessed right.

"Since Mr. Li doesn't want to reveal his identity, then forget it. I don't think you look like a bad person, so I'll go with you later." Elder Qiao Guo has visited countless people, and seeing Li Yuan's righteousness, he shouldn't murder him. them.

Qiao Guolao and Xiao Qiao packed up their luggage, while Li Yuan went back to the inn to inform Xu Zhu that he was going to Jiangxia. After half an hour, Li Yuan and his party left Wancheng.

Xu Zhu felt a little strange along the way, and asked, "Young master, why did you leave in such a hurry, and who are these three people? Aren't we going to Danyang by boat? Why don't we go to Danyang now and go to Jiangxia instead?"

"When did you talk so much?" Li Yuanbai glanced at Xu Zhu, "I offended Yuan Yao in the city just now, and he is likely to return to Lujiang to lead troops to attack Wancheng, so I left in such a hurry. These three are Qiao Guolao and Xiaoqiao are my new friends. They might be murdered by Yuan Yao if they stay in Wancheng, so I took them with me. Now I can’t cross the Lujiang River to Danyang, so I can only take a detour from Jiangxia waterway."

Li Yuan answered Xu Zhu's questions one by one. Xu Zhu glanced at Xiao Qiao and seemed to understand why Li Yuan insisted on going to Wancheng. There was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Yuan couldn't help but turn pale when he saw it. He glanced at him, "I find that you are more and more like a play...that guy."

In fact, Qiao Guo was much more surprised when he saw Xu Zhu and the others than when Xu Zhu saw them. He knew that Xu Zhu was not someone to be trifled with when he saw Xu Zhu's figure. , and they all respected Li Yuan very much, so he had to re-examine Li Yuan's strength.

"Mr. Li, these people look so fierce. Is it okay for them to follow us?" Xiao Qiao was a little scared, and leaned towards Li Yuan.

"Don't worry, they are all my guards, they are loyal." Li Yuan comforted.Seeing that Da Qiao felt uncomfortable for a while, he pursed his small mouth.

"Everyone, it is very likely that Yuan Yao will lead his troops to chase us, so we must hurry to Jiangxia, then take a boat to Chaisang, and then to Yuzhang. Try not to stop on the way, can you hear clearly?" Li Yuan asked road.

"Yes, my lord!" The guards answered uniformly, and they knew they were well-trained.

So Li Yuan and his party went to Jiangxia without stopping, eating and sleeping in the open. Qiao Guolao was already in the middle of the year, and his old bones were about to be tossed to pieces, but after several days of traveling, Li Yuan and others finally arrived without any danger. Jiang Xia didn't meet Yuan Yao's pursuers all the way.

Jiangxia is located to the west of Wancheng. It is a city along the river with well-developed waterways. There are only two cities in Jingzhou that can cross the river to the south of Jingzhou, Jiangxia and Jiangling.
