Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 203: One hundred secrets and one sparse (1)

On the fourth watch of early spring, it was still pitch black, and the drowsy Liu Beijun marched in the darkness, only daring to light a few torches to lead the way, but many soldiers fell behind on the road.

It was already the fifth watch when Cao Ying was approaching, Guan Ping ordered torches to be thrown at Cao Ying. At this time, the sky was gradually brightening. Taking a closer look at the light and fire, Cao Ying was clearly an empty camp.

"Uncle, go away, there is an ambush among us." Guan Ping yelled at Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei was still surprised, he heard a sound of shouting and killing, and Cao Jun was in all directions. Zhang Xiu, Le Jin, Shi Huan, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian and others led their troops to charge over.Guan Ping beckoned his men to block it first.

Broken, ambushed.Liu Bei hurriedly took off his armor, neither greeted his subordinates, nor returned to Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and Xiapi, seeing that there were only a few people in the northwest direction, they slapped their horses and ran desperately.

Liu Bei's subordinates were originally the surrendered troops of Cao Jun and Yuan Shu, as well as the peasants with hoes, and they immediately surrendered again.But Cao Jun was just preventing Liu Bei from running back, but Liu Bei took advantage of the hole to escape.Guan Ping thought that Liu Bei had escaped, so he fled back to Pengcheng with his entourage.

Cao Cao interrogated the soldiers, and learned that Liu Bei led the troops himself but could not find them. He suspected that Liu Bei had fled back to Pengcheng, and immediately surrounded Pengcheng.

Mi Zhu and Jian Yong were still waiting for Liu Bei at the top of the city, and they kept sending people to inquire about the battle situation. After learning that Liu Bei was besieged and his whereabouts were unknown, they discussed together and led a thousand soldiers to protect Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Xiahou to escape from Pengcheng. To Guan Ping who fled back.

"Frankly, where is the master?"

"Ah? Didn't he come back?"

"My lord may have gone to find Yunchang or Yide before returning." Mi Zhu said.

"Cao Cao will definitely take Xuzhou first, then let's go to Xiapi and join Yide." Jian Yong suggested going to Xiapi.

It was almost noon when Cao Cao's army came to the city, and the defenders who lost their command simply gave up resistance and surrendered in Kaesong.Cao Cao was annoyed when he failed to find Liu Bei.Hearing that Guan Yu was going to Xuzhou and Zhang Fei was going to Xiapi, he immediately divided his troops into two groups: Zhang Xiu and Le Jin led [-] troops to Xiapi, and himself led [-] troops to Xuzhou, and ordered Liu Bei to be killed if found.

Besides, Liu Bei ran for more than [-] miles alone, and he couldn't hear the shouts of killing at all. When he saw no one was chasing him, he slowed down, rested for a while, and raised his horsepower.I never figured out why I ended up like this, since I can't figure it out, let's think of a way out.Xinma reined in, and walked another thirty miles, looking around, he was lost, there were mountains everywhere, and he couldn't figure out where he was.Holding back the hunger in my stomach, I continued to walk along the mountain road.

Finally, when the evening was approaching, I passed a small stream. The stream was clear. It was not the rainy season, and the stream was not deep. Liu Bei could only fill himself with water.Liu Bei shed tears, how could this be?I kept a low profile, compromised, and finally seized the opportunity to make a comeback. When the victory was in sight, it was all gone overnight.

Twelve years ago, I brought straw sandals, straw hats, and straw mats to Zhuojun to sell them. I met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and started my military career. Before regaining Xuzhou, he was defeated by Cao Cao in less than three days in Pengcheng, and his two brothers were gone. What should I do?Go and seek refuge with Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei is even more tenacious than Xiaoqiang, he has no idea of ​​not wanting to live at all.After running around for a day, watching the sky gradually darken, Liu Bei drank enough water, led the horse across the stream with tender grass roots in his mouth, and found a small road with faint traces of people passing by.

Holding the sword in one hand and leading the horse in the other, Liu Bei walked carefully along the path.At the end of the path, I found a small abandoned village. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. The roofs of the broken earthen houses were gone, and only the dilapidated earthen walls could vaguely tell that it was a house.

From the entrance of the village to the center of the village, Liu Bei did not see a single person. There was an earthen platform in the center of the village. The erosion of the years had turned the earthen platform into a mound. Liu Bei climbed up the mound and looked around. Finally, he found that there was a person at the south end of the village. The house looks very tidy, and there is a faint light smoke on the roof, so there must be people living there.

Liu Bei looked around carefully again, and made sure that only this family climbed down from the mound.

"Is anyone at home?" Liu Bei slapped the door with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the double-strand sword. "I'm a passing guest."

After a while, the door opened a crack, looked at Liu Bei with a pair of eyes, looked around for a while, and the door opened.The person who opened the door was a man in his 30s. Although he didn't look very strong, he was very capable.

"My little brother, please be polite. I got lost in the mountains, where is this place, and how far is it from Jizhou?" Liu Bei asked, clasping his fists.

"This place is called Peijia Village, and there is only my family in the village. The big mountain in the distance is Woniugang. This village belongs to Hui County, and it is still far away from Jizhou. I don't know how far it is. I didn't go there. over that far."

"Thank you." Liu Bei nodded, it seemed that he hadn't run out of Yanzhou yet, and was closer to Qingzhou.Liu Bei groped his whole body while talking, he had nothing on his body except the double-strand sword, the most valuable thing was the horse, Liu Bei pointed at it to escape for his life.

"My little brother, I'm hungry. If I can borrow a meal, I will be rewarded in the future." A king's meal is inevitable.

"What did you say, sir, there is nothing delicious in the farmer's house, so please don't blame me. It happens that the meal is already cooked, please come in, sir."

The man brought Liu Bei into the house, and asked his wife to serve the meal. It was just coarse cornbread and wild vegetables. Although he had been hungry for a whole day, Liu Bei still couldn't swallow it. Is there any wine and meat at home?"

The man shook his head, "Although I'm a hunter, I haven't hunted recently, please forgive me. There are a few chickens in the house, but I have eaten them all because of my weak body. I'm sorry, sir."

"Well, you are Orion!" Liu Bei was displeased, why Orion didn't hunt, "I don't know my brother's name? How long have you lived here?"

"My name is Liu An. My father and son are hunters in Woniugang Mountain. My uncle is a resident of this village. After my uncle passed away, I lived here."

This man is Liu An, the nephew of Liu Quan from the old family. After he buried Liu Quan beside Pei Dahu's grave, he and his wife kept a filial piety in Peijia Village.Pei Yuanshao once left some chickens and sheep. Because Liu An's wife had been in poor health after giving birth, they were slaughtered and eaten to make up for her health. In order to take care of his wife, Liu An could not go hunting in the mountains. Three days ago, there was no meat in the house. Liu An Ann also planned to try her luck the next day.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu. Speaking of which, Brother and I are still in the same family."

"I don't know Mr.'s name?"

"My name is Liu Bei." Liu Bei didn't think that a wild farmer and hunter in a desolate mountain village could know his name, so he said indifferently.
