To the east of Yeyuan, before Cao Ren's camp.

Zhang Fei stood on his horse, and while ordering his soldiers to shout insults and shouts, he looked at the camp in the distance, feeling a little uneasy for some reason in his heart.

One of the lieutenants stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang, Niu Jin has been in for a long time, but he never showed up. Shall we go in?"

Zhang Fei waved his hand and sighed: "No, I only have [-] troops under my command. Wancheng sent troops this time, at least [-]. The difference in strength is too great. It is feasible to call for a battle. , is really difficult."

The deputy general frowned and said, "But general, after Niu Jin was injured, he never came out again, and Cao Ren never showed up. How long will it last?"

Zhang Fei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "If Niu Jin is afraid of us, it's a good thing that he can't hold back like this. After all, the purpose of the elder brother asking me to call for a battle today is to delay Cao Ren, so that he can join forces with the second elder brother and others to fight for it." Attacking Xia Houyuan, the more time Niu Jin wastes, the more he will show our wishes, which is really the best strategy. But I always feel that there is something wrong, but I can't say exactly what it is."

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei's big bearded face trembled involuntarily, and an inexplicable sense of blockage appeared in his mind.

It's so fucking frustrating.
After contemplating for a long time, Zhang Fei Lingtai suddenly woke up, and he said to himself: "I invite the battle here to delay Cao Ren, but if Cao Ren had already led his troops to the elder brother's place in advance, what would happen? ? Hey, I was careless for a while, and it’s too late to regret it! Mistake, what a mistake!"

The lieutenant general's expression changed greatly when he heard the words, and he hurriedly said: "General Zhang, since this is the case, the master's side must be in danger and the general needs to quickly order to retreat. I will go to help!"

"No!"

Zhang Feimeng raised his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have just carefully observed the defense of this big village. Cao Ren left behind a garrison here of at least [-]. If we retreat to my brother's place, we will let him go." It is not advisable for these ten thousand people to follow behind. The elder brother has Er Ge, Zhang Jai, Gao Lan and other famous generals. Make trouble for big brother!"

"promise"

Having said that, Zhang Fei couldn't help but secretly sighed. He lost the opportunity to defeat Xia Houyuan today. It will be even more difficult to defeat him and Cao Ren in the future.
But if it is really delayed with Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and other Cao generals like this, how can we last long with the land of Runan County?

Where is the way out for our army?Zhang Fei couldn't help feeling a little sad and inexplicable.

********************
The story is divided into two parts, not to mention Liu Bei's attack on Runan, and the battle situation is numerous, but to talk about the side of Jiuli Mountain. After discussing with Yuan Shang and making an agreement, Chang Xi immediately bid farewell to leave the mountain and led the crowd back home.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Lingqi and Yuan Shang stood side by side, looking at Chang Xi who was drifting away from a distance, a trace of worry could not help but appear in his heart.

"You really believe him?"

After being silent for a long time, Lu Lingqi slowly opened her mouth and expressed the question in her heart: "Changxi is capricious, despicable and shameless, and he has no faith at all. He promised to join hands with you today, but after a long time, maybe someday I will stab you in the back, and then you may not even know how you died. Just like when my father was killed by Cao Cao, he immediately switched to Cao Cao. After two years, now he wants to betray again. This person, you have to be on guard all the time, even so, do you still want to convince him?"

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words: "Comparing me with your father, your comparison makes me very happy."

"Yuan, how dare you take advantage of this girl?!" Lu Lingqi closed her eyes, looking very dangerous.

Yuan Shang hurriedly changed the subject and said, "What kind of person is Chang Xi? It doesn't do me any harm. It's just an empty promise. I won't suffer any losses at all. At worst, it's just a matter of breaking up. That's his loss. "

Lu Lingqi was surprised when she heard the words: "Why?"

Yuan Shang snorted and said: "Because he is too cunning, too treacherous, and too dangerous. Even if a person like him does not turn against him, Cao Cao will definitely destroy him sooner or later!"

Lu Lingqi was stunned upon hearing this.

"However, although he is a bit despicable and shameless, he has a flexible mind and a lot of face. All the strong thieves in the world have a little friendship with him. If he is used well, it can be said to be of great help to our Yuan family in the future. As for He is capricious, despicable and shameless, and he has no faith, in front of me, he is really like a floating cloud!"

Lu Lingqi couldn't help being curious when she heard the words, and said, "Even Cao Cao doesn't want to stay with such a sinister person, why are you not afraid?"

Yuan Shang patted his chest and said proudly: "Because I am more repetitive, despicable, shameless, and less creditable than him!"

Lu Lingqi's face suddenly showed deep surprise, and after thinking for a long time, she opened her mouth slowly.

"Hey, I heard you say it so frankly. To be honest, I really regret it now. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to join forces with you, a shameless person, to fight against Cao. I think we should break up."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "Break up? Why! If you say good things, you just let go of the pick? Do you have any sense of responsibility? If you want to repent, I will let my father write a letter to the emperor, and order the Tingwei Mansion to handle you!"

Lu Lingqi stared at Yuan Shang for a long time, then said in a sinister manner, "I suddenly have a strong urge to kick you off the top of this mountain."

Under the cliff, the autumn wind is fresh and the birds are flying around, which seems to be endless.
Yuan Shang swallowed a mouthful of foam, and took two steps back: "Don't mess around, I'm just making a joke, who do you think you are? The emperor will take care of you? Just kidding!"

Lu Lingqi stared at Yuan Shang viciously, and after a while, she suddenly gave a "puchi" smile, and a warm smile appeared on her pretty face, as if it could dissolve ice and snow and disperse dark clouds.

The bandit leaders standing not far away couldn't help being a little stunned.

It has been two years, since the big leader took charge of the village affairs in Jiuli Mountain, none of the bandits saw her smile like today. Every day, every moment, the big leader's face is icy and cold, as if a piece of Melting black ice, bitingly cold, frighteningly cold.

Where is the sun coming out today?The big leader not only laughed, but also smiled so brightly.

Have you eaten something dirty?

While admiring the beauty of Lu Lingqi's smile, all the thieves couldn't help showing a deep respect for Yuan Shang from their hearts. They could melt the corner of this big leader like an iceberg for thousands of years and make her smile. It's just a moment, but it also requires a lot of skill!
People who can do this kind of thing are either quick-witted and excellent, or extremely cheap, and they all have a goddamn taste in their bones.

This third son of Yuan, he should not belong to the second type, right?

At this moment, Lu Lingqi seemed to be aware of her gaffe, she straightened her face, and returned to her usual iceberg beauty, cold and permeating.

"You haven't said yet, why did you come to my Jiuli cottage suddenly? Didn't you lead your troops to Runan to meet the big-eared thief? Could it be that the guy refused to take you in?"

Yuan Shang chuckled, and said: "Miss Lu is too underestimating the character of her subordinates. As soon as we arrived in Runan, we were warmly received by Liu Bei and the others. There was a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet every five days. Go home, don't go home and don't sleep, it's only been a few days, and I've gained three laps of weight."

Lu Lingqi sneered, and said: "You, surnamed Yuan, are exaggerating too much. With Liu Bei's hypocritical nature, how can he have a good time with a prodigal son like you?"

Yuan Shang sighed for a long time, and said with emotion: "Perhaps, this is the so-called fate. During this trip to Runan, Liu Bei and I really get along very well. Mi Zhu, Gong Du, Sun Qian, Jane Yong, especially Zhang Fei, and I have never seen each other for so long. I wish I could kowtow to the ground and become brothers with different surnames. It is really touching. Liu Bei also gave me hundreds of war horses, not a single one, It's all free, which makes people feel a little embarrassed."

Lu Lingqi's eyes widened in astonishment when she heard the words, and said, "Liu Bei is in a county. In such a tight situation, he actually gave you hundreds of horses? He must be crazy!"

"Women's family has no experience, right? Or how can someone get along with the emperor's uncle, but you can only be the leader of a bandit? Encourage it!"

Lu Lingqi: "."

After a while, Lu Lingqi suddenly remembered something, and she opened her mouth slowly through gritted teeth.

"surname Yuan"

Yuan Shang turned his head away gently, and said with a smile, "What advice does Miss Lu have?"

"You've been rambling here for a long time, but you still haven't told me your purpose of going to Jiuli Village"

Yuan Shang's smile froze suddenly.

"You bastard full of nonsense! Hurry up and tell me something serious, and if you don't speak plain words, my aunt will light your sky lantern!"
