The sky gradually brightened. Liu Bei opened his eyes. However, Guan Yu's face was haggard. Can't help but say strangely: "Second brother. Do you have any thoughts."
Guan Yu replied: "It's nothing. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night."
The time Liu Bei and Guan Yu stayed together. Compared to her own woman. I don't know how many times it will be exceeded. No one knows Guan Yu's temperament better than him. Can't help but laugh. Said: "You are not brothers. But you are better than brothers. Is there any thought that can't be said to brothers."
Guan Yu felt a little ashamed. He folded his hands and said: "The eldest brother taught me. The younger brother knew he was wrong. Don't dare to hide it from the older brother. The younger brother fell in love with a woman."
Liu Bei laughed loudly and said: "The male college should be married. The female college should be married. What's so embarrassing. It's just. I don't know whose girl has such a good blessing. It can be favored by my second brother."
Guan Yu lowered his head. He whispered: "Unfortunately she is already married."
Liu Bei asked about the situation. Indulge for a moment. He said with a serious face: "Why do a big husband suffer from being wifeless? The second brother must not do anything unscrupulous."
Guan Yu promised: "Don't worry, big brother. Little brother is not someone who doesn't know the importance."
the following few days. Cao Bao and Qin Yi returned to the barracks one after another. Became the deputy general of the Xuzhou army. Guan Yu also seemed to devote himself to the training of the army. but. Whenever I see Qin Yi. A strange expression will appear on Guan Yu's face. Also lost to his red face. Even if a little excited. Others can't see much clues. But Liu Bei was very clear. Guan Yu still couldn't let go of that woman. Especially at night. Two people slept at the same table. The scenes where we used to talk so happily no longer exist. Guan Yu often wanders secretly. Sometimes I didn't even hear what Liu Bei was saying. Liu Bei saw it. Anxious in my heart. Guan Yu is his strongest support in the world. It's not good to always be like this. He must come up with a solution.
Although Guan Yu's condition is not good. The five hundred "alternate" officers seemed to have taken stimulants one by one. All body and mind are thrown on the training ground. The seventy soldiers under their respective men were trained to scream. The Xuzhou Army's face is completely new.
Liu Bei saw the fierce fighting spirit of the soldiers on the training ground. Nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at Cao Bao and Qin Yi standing beside Guan Yu. Suddenly had a plan. Said: "General Qin."
Qin Yi also leaves early these days and returns late. Fumble with the soldiers. People lose weight without saying. Every day when I go home, I am too tired to stand up. Du Xiuniang stood in front of her, who looked like flowers and jade. Wanting to get in touch with each other is too much but not enough. but. Qin Yi did not regret it. Guan Yu promoted him to become a lieutenant. He took home more military pay than he used to. The living conditions at home have gradually improved. Mother's illness also has money to ask the doctor to treat it. His gratitude to Guan Yu came from the bottom of his heart. I really want to perform well.
"The end is here." Hearing Liu Bei calling him. Qin Yi hurriedly folded his hands and stood upright. Awaiting further orders from Liu Bei.
but. Liu Bei did not give the order directly. Instead, he pointed to the soldiers who were training hard in the school field. Said: "General Qin. If these soldiers were placed a few days ago, they would be worth a battle with Cao Jun."
Qin Yi said without hesitation: "If there were some strong soldiers that day, I would be able to teach Cao Cao to come and go. All this is the merit of General Guan."
Liu Bei smiled slightly. Said: "I heard that Ruo Rong, the prefect of Pengcheng, burned and killed the people in Guangling. Liu was a Xuzhou animal husbandry. How could he ignore it. General Qin. Liu ordered you to immediately lead three thousand elite soldiers to Guangling. Qing suppressed the ruongrong group. Gangsters. The people of Guangling have a bright future."
Qin Yi was stunned. As a military commander. Can get the opportunity to lead troops alone. This shows the lord's trust in him. Of course, it should be regarded as an undesirable good thing. But the problem is. Ruorong has more than ten thousand elite soldiers. It is said that there are three to four thousand horses alone. But Liu Bei only gave him 3,000 people in total. Whether such a small number of people are going to be wiped out or to die. Qin Yi was really not sure.
Seeing Qin Yi silently. Liu Bei's face suddenly became gloomy. He said lightly: "General Qin even hesitates to suppress Ruorong. What else to say about facing Cao Cao. Ask him to come back or not."
Qin Yi hurriedly slapped haha. Said: "The lord has misunderstood. At the end, he will not be familiar with the roads of Guangling. I was thinking about whom to look for as a guide."
Liu Bei's face immediately turned cloudy. Nodded and said, "General Qin will worry about the guide. Liu will arrange it for you. Rescuing soldiers is like fighting a fire. The people of Guangling are being slaughtered. You can't delay it for a moment. Go back and pack up. Get all the people. Set off now. ."
Qin Yi muttered in his heart. What can't be delayed for a moment. You didn't know today that Ruo Rong murdered and set fire in Guangling. Of course. He can only keep these words in his heart. He kept promises. Arched his hands. Since I went to count the people and horses.
Guan Yu looked at Qin Yi who left in a hurry. In front of her eyes, Du Xiuniang was holding her baby again. I couldn't help saying: "Big brother. Only three thousand people for him. Isn't it a bit less? Or else. Let the younger brother take a trip in person."
Liu Bei secretly said. Isn't this arrangement all for you? but. He knew that Guan Yu had a very high temperament. It's not easy to explain it to him. Had to wave his hand. Said: "It's okay. There are other arrangements for my brother. General Cao. You lead 10,000 horses to catch them. You will leave in three days."
Cao Bao's leg injury did not fully recover. He wanted to maintain the position of the Cao family in Xuzhou. I had to force myself to come to the school every day. Although the one under the stage has been cleaned. But the dark red blood stains are still faintly visible. It was there that his nephew Cao Jin was split into two by Guan Yu. He also dared not speak. now. I heard that Liu Bei asked him to lead his troops to Guangling. Cao Bao breathed a sigh of relief. Thus. Finally, there is no need to look at Guan Yu's face anymore. He wished to start now. Where can I wait for three days. Hastily succumbed to promises. Also walked off the school grounds to order soldiers.
Liu Bei didn't even sit firmly in the position of Xuzhou Mu. Where is the remaining energy to gather intelligence everywhere. His understanding of Guangling still rests on the news brought back by the messenger. But he didn't know that Ruo Rong had fled to Jiangnan now. And Gan Ning personally acted as the executioner. Behead him in public. Guangling and Wu Jun are both busy scenes now.
Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong have all crossed the Yangtze River again. Came to the territory of Guangling. Begin to recruit people from Guangling, Pengcheng and other places. Just in case. Except for Zang Ba and Xu Sheng who came to Wu Jun with them. Gan Ning sent Huang Gai to lead three hundred naval soldiers. Follow them separately. Serve as a guard. Did not receive Liu Xin's order. He only dared to send so many soldiers across the river to fight.
Among these people are Zang Ba and Huang Gai. The others are from all counties in Xuzhou. And Zang Ba has been the prefect of Langya for a while. There is still a certain appeal in Langya. Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong are all celebrities in Xuzhou. This group of people launched a call in Guangling. Soon people gathered. Many temporary camps have been planted along the Guangling River on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Although Xuzhou has only five counties under its jurisdiction. There are millions of accounts. The population is even closer to five million. To know. When Liu Xin just arrived in Xiangyang. The entire Jingxiang County has a population of only 6 million. Of course. With the development of these years. The population of Jingzhou has now exceeded 9 million.
Cao Cao's army was not a blind massacre in Xuzhou. Anyone who voluntarily surrendered the city. Cao Jun will also converge. Even so. The three counties of Langya, Donghai, and Pengcheng, as well as some county towns in Xiapi County, were severely damaged. It is estimated that no fewer than 300,000 people will die by Cao Jun's butcher knife.
Because of the Phantom Spy, the news of Cao Jun’s invasion and the establishment of refugee camps in Jiangxia and Wu County was distributed in time. More people were able to flee their homes in advance. Thus saving lives. but. Most people chose to flee to Jiangxia.
To travel from Xuzhou to Jiangxia, you need to pass Qiaojun and Runan. There are Yuan Shu's territory. Not all princes are like Liu Xin. Treat population as an important resource. in contrast. Many princes moved a large number of people from abroad. Especially those who have escaped. The penniless people are seen as a burden and a source of turmoil. Yuan Shu thought the same way. He ordered many levels to be set. People in Xuzhou are forbidden to pass through Qiaojun and Runan.
Although some people escaped the checkpoint by chance. Tossed and turned to Jiang Xia. But more people were forced to return to Xuzhou again. therefore. Until today. Jiangxia’s refugee camp only accommodated more than 5,000 people who had fled from Xuzhou.
in fact. For ordinary people. Born in troubled times. But to be able to survive. Whether it is the refugee camp in Jiangxia or the refugee camp in Wu County. As long as you can have a bowl of rice to eat. Can continue to survive. It’s not always the same everywhere. The reason why so many people chose to flee to Jiangxia. I would rather risk being forced by Yuan Shu's army. Even those young women are still at risk of sex. He didn't want to flee to Wu Jun. There is only one reason. That is the surging Yangtze River in front of them.
The Yangtze River is a great moat. Not only in the military. For the people fleeing. It is also insurmountable. It's even more difficult. For so many days. With Mi Zhu and others to bear the ship fare. Gradually, more than 500 fishing boats and merchant ships gathered on the riverside. It only transported a hundred thousand people intermittently. The appeals of the three famous Xuzhou men, Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong, are indeed extraordinary. Just two days of effort. On the riverside of Guangling County. All at once gathered more than 400,000 people who had fled from the counties. Many people are also rushing over after hearing the news.
but. Liu Xin’s information is delivered faster than Liu Bei’s. It's really going to be much faster. After Gan Ning personally beheaded Ruo Rong. Yu Fan sent Meteor Kuai Ma. Day and night. Send the news here to Xiangyang. And a daily report. Don't dare to neglect in the slightest.
at this time. In front of Liu Xin was the emergency military information sent by Yu Fan from Wu Jun for two consecutive days. The military report on the first day said. Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao and others went to Jiangbei in person. Organize refugees to cross the river. The military situation on the second day had reported that the number of refugees gathered in Jiangbei was as many as 100,000. And these military sentiments came from Wu Jun. It will take at least a day and a half. Calculate like this. It should have been Mi Zhu's fourth day to Jiangbei. I don't know how many people have gathered there.
