The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 32: Liao Hua and Du Yuan
With the goal, Liu Bei immediately ordered that all the troops immediately withdraw from Fancheng and go to Jiangling.

And let Guan Ping and Guan Feng lead the soldiers to run around the city to announce that Cao Cao led an army of 50 to kill, those who are willing to follow, pack up quickly and keep up with the large army.

And Zhang Fei had already led [-] soldiers to attack Jiangling first.

Guan Yu and Mi Zhu were also sent out to Jiangxia to ask Mr. Liu Qi to send more ships.

Both Liu Pi and Gong stood at the gate of the city and kept directing the people: "Don't panic, everyone. Uncle Liu Huang will not abandon you. Uncle Liu Huang said, if you want to leave, you can go together. If you can't, you can fight Cao Cao to the death!"

"Uncle Liu Huang is really a good man"

"Uncle Liu Huang, we are following you"

"Yes, Uncle Liu Huang is the king of benevolence and righteousness, why would he abandon us? Everyone, don't panic, walk slowly, don't run around and bump around"

Seeing that the people became orderly, both Liu Pi and Gong breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

This time they were in charge of breaking the empress and appeasing the common people, under the command of Pei Feng, and the two of them were the deputy generals.

Zhao Yun protected his family, and the rest of the generals followed Liu Bei and waited for his orders.

"Have the people in the city retreated?" At this time, Pei Feng walked up to the two of them.

"It's all over." The two nodded.

"Okay, you command five thousand soldiers to protect the people, and I will take the thirteen Sima to accompany you." Pei Feng expressed his thoughts.

"Yes" Liu Pi and Gong both cupped their hands.

. . . .

A few days later, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang rode slowly on horseback, with sad faces on their faces.

"Military Master, it has been some time since Yun Chang went to Jiangxia, why hasn't there been a reply?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously.

Zhuge Liang shook his head, also a little puzzled and said: "The reason is very likely to be Liu Qi."

"Liu Qi? Could it be that he refuses to send troops?" Liu Bei was startled, thought for a while and said, "In this case, I'm afraid I have to trouble the military division to go to Jiangxia to persuade Liu Qi. The military division once offered advice to Liu Qi and saved his life. For the face of a military division, he will not refuse."

"For the present plan, that's the only way to go." Zhuge Liang nodded.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei was still worried, and said to Sun Qian, "Mr. is also going with the military division."

"Yes" Sun Gan knew the importance of the matter, and hurriedly cupped his hands.

Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction. With the help of a military adviser and Gongyou, Liu Qi will be convinced.

"Guan Ping, Guan Feng, the two of you lead five hundred soldiers to protect the safety of the military division and your husband along the way, remember to be careful, and don't make any mistakes," Liu Beiyu commanded earnestly.

"Yes, we will swear to protect the military division and sir," the two said firmly.

"My lord, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian bowed their hands towards Liu Bei, and galloped out on horseback. Guan Ping and Guan Feng also quickly led their soldiers to follow.

"Be careful." Liu Bei stretched his neck, quietly watching Zhuge Liang and others disappear into the distance.

"Now I need to rely on you all," Liu Bei said from the bottom of his heart, bowing his hands to the people around him one by one.

Xu Shu and Jian Yong quickly said: "My lord, don't worry, I will protect you to the death!"

The remaining generals, Mi Fang, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Chen Dao, and Xia Houlan also expressed their opinions and vowed to protect Liu Bei to the death.

In Jingzhou City, Cao Cao's army approached the city. Cai Mao took Liu Cong, Mrs. Cai, and a group of civil and military officials out of the city to kneel down and beg for surrender.

Liu Cong held the official seal high, tears streaming from his eyes, trying desperately not to slip down.

My father's foundation was so handed over to others, I was really unwilling, but my uncle and Mr. Kuai Yue were eager to surrender. I was only a child, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't help it.

Cao Cao walked slowly in front of Liu Cong, holding the official seal in his hands, his sharp eyes wandered around Liu Cong, and finally sneered, he rode his horse and walked towards the city.

When they came to the main hall, Cao Cao sat down on the head, and Liu Cong and others knelt down in front of him again.

Beckoning to Cai Mao, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Jingzhou's 28 horses, more than [-] warships, and money and food everywhere are enough for our army for a year. With such a strong force, why did the general surrender without fighting?"

Cai Mao was sweating coldly, and stammered: "How dare Jingzhou soldiers and horses resist the prime minister's mighty division, the prime minister's ingenuity is unparalleled in the world, and he uses soldiers like a god. He is victorious in every battle, and the prime minister is the world..."

Cao Cao couldn't bear such flattery, so he quickly waved his hands to make Cai Mao stop, and said, "Okay, I will make you the Marquis of Zhennan, the commander of the navy, you must train the navy carefully, and wait for the call."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Cai Mao was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

With a wave of his hand, Cai Mao and others retreated, leaving only Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai.

"Liu Cong, would you like me to make you the governor of Qinzhou?" Cao Cao said with a blank expression after glancing at the two of them.

Mrs. Cai quickly knelt down and said, "When the city was dedicated, the Prime Minister promised my son to be the Lord of Jingzhou forever. Why did you send my mother and son to Qinzhou?"

"The war in Jingzhou has not yet settled, Liu Bei and Liu Qi refused to surrender, so I will make you the Lord of Jingzhou, how can he be able to stabilize the country?" Cao Cao pointed to Liu Cong, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Liu Cong replied: "Since this is the case, Liu Cong does not want to be an official, but wants to guard his parents' homeland. Please grant me to be a citizen!".

"Qinzhou is close to the imperial capital. Let you serve as an official with the dynasty and avoid being harmed by thieves. This is also for the sake of your mother and son. Let's leave immediately."

He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Liu Cong's mother and son down.

"Yu Jin! Take fifty soldiers and kill Liu Cong's mother and son on the way to Qinzhou," Cao Cao ordered to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin quickly accepted the order: "Yes"

On a desolate path, two men walked side by side, one with a long gun and the other with a gold threaded knife.

Both of them were dressed in common clothes, covered in dust, and they seemed to have traveled a lot.

"Liao Hua, do you think we can be reused?" Suddenly, the man with the gold-threaded big ring knife said.

The man with the gun said affirmatively: "Trust me, Du Yuan, my intuition tells me that Uncle Liu Huang will definitely become a big deal, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for us to seek refuge early, and besides, the martial arts of the two of us are not bad, so we can do it anyway." Let’s become a general! It’s better than us occupying the mountain and becoming king.”

If Pei Feng heard what these two people said, his jaw would drop in shock. Du Yuan was not killed by Liao Hua?Haven't they met Guan Yu who killed six generals in five passes?Didn't Du Yuan kill Liu Bei's two wives because he kidnapped Liu Bei's two wives and planned to become the wives of the village, but Liao Hua's dissuasion was ineffective?

"It makes sense. If we go to other places, others may not be able to see our two yellow turban generals. I heard that there are many yellow turban generals under Liu Huangshu's tent. Liu Pi, Gong Du, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, they are all there." Du Yuan said with bright eyes.

Liao Hua also nodded and said, "That's right, Uncle Liu Huang is our best choice."

But at this moment, a call came from the front, which made the two of them stop immediately.

"Run, Cong'er"

"Ah, what are you doing! You bastards are not as good as beasts, let me go, ah, help me!"

"Let's go and have a look!" Liao Hua and Du Yuan looked at each other, ran over quickly, stopped behind a tree, and saw the scene ahead.

I saw a little boy running towards him in a panic, and a middle-aged woman was pinned down by a group of soldiers and was about to do such a mess, and her clothes were torn off in large pieces.
