He rode back on a white horse, if the chaos in front of him could be painted, maybe he could paint a scene of floating life. In a battle, the appearance of the troubled times was shown, soldiers and horses were fighting, and everyone was running away.
Until the end, Liu Bei's remnant army was basically disintegrated, either dead or surrendered. The general in white found a leaning carriage by a dry well. The horse in front of the carriage was dead, and there was no one staying beside the carriage. , but faint crying came from the carriage.
The curtain was lifted, and the general's expression was complicated. There lay an infant child lying there, and a woman's body was covering him on one side of the child.
An arrow was shot in the back of the woman, and she was silent, and the blood stained the swaddle red. Maybe it was because he was so uncomfortable that the child kept crying.
The general in white stretched out his hand and gently took the child out of the woman's hand.
"The last general, I will send you out safely."
After leaving a heavy sentence, he drove the horse and left the carriage.
The child who was carried into the general's arms stopped crying, opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, and raised his hand to grab the general's collar.
The general glanced at the child, smiled, and looked forward, where countless Cao troops were blocking the way.
He patted the child's body with his hand, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, the horse will run fast later, young master, hurry up."
As he said that, the war horse under him rushed out suddenly, like a wind blowing from the ground, and rolled towards Cao Jun.
Cao Jun wanted to stop the general in white, but wherever he passed, no one could stop him from shooting him. Even if the general stepped forward, he would be picked off his horse within a few rounds.
One horse, one man, one shot, the thousands of horses and horses seemed to be in vain, and the wind rang from the face of the child in the arms of the general, and instead of being frightened, the child giggled.
"Have Liu Bei's soldiers and horses been leveled?"
On the hillside, Cao Cao asked the people around him.
The people on the left and right faced the flags down the mountain, bowed down and returned: "Return to the general, it is basically settled."
Cao Cao looked at the scene below, the people were scattered, and there were countless casualties. He listened to the answers from the left and the right and nodded silently: "Yeah."
Suddenly, he saw the army at the foot of the mountain, a white horse rushed out of the army formation amidst heavy siege, and rushed towards the outside of the army.
A general in white was sitting on that white horse, his robe was stained with blood, and he was waving his spear, trying to fight his way through the army.
There was a strange look in Cao Cao's eyes, pointing to the white armor general in the army: "Who is that man?"
Left and right were stunned, they all shook their heads and said, "I don't know."
After watching the white armor general for a long time, Cao Cao laughed softly: "Although this is a troubled world, there are still countless loyal and brave people."
Outside of Xingyang, he was also ambushed by thousands of armies and almost died there. At that time, he also lamented the scene of troubled times. But she was rescued by a person, and she was also dressed in white. At that time, she also looked like this, unstoppable.
Cao Cao stood up and shouted at the man at the foot of the mountain: "The white armor general, leave your name!"
The white war horse passed through the crowd, and when he heard the roar from the mountain, the general in white turned his head.
The horse's hoof stomped away the flying dust and broke through the army formation, leaving only a sound.
"Chang Shan, Zhao Zilong!"
"General." A general stepped forward to plead with Cao Cao: "The final general is willing to stop this person."
"No need." Cao Cao waved his hand as he rode Juechen in the distance: "Since Liu Bei is broken, let him go, but Liu Bei has been taken down?"
The general looked a little embarrassed and said: "Someone came to report just now, but Liu Bei was not caught and let him go east."
This did not seem to be beyond Cao Cao's expectation. There were many brave generals around Liu Bei, even his second and third younger brothers were not inferior to Lu Bu in the past. It was really not so easy to keep him.
"Zihe." Cao Cao turned around and said to a general behind him, "You lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to chase Liu Bei, and then order Mr. Gu to lead the army from Jiangling to stop him, and the rest of the troops stay here."
Looking around, he continued, "Comfort the rest of the people and straighten out the luggage."
"Step, step, step." Some slow horseshoes sounded lightly on the road.
A white horse was coming along the road. Zhao Yun sat on the horse and put away his spear wearily, and stretched out his hand to take the child out of his arms.
The infant child smiled and raised his hand towards him, Zhao Yun smiled dryly: "My lord likes to drive horses?"
"Hehehe." The child waved his hand, as if to answer.
"After that, I will teach you." Zhao Yun said with a smile.
Looking back at the way he came from, he could still vaguely see Cao Jun in the distance.
It's just that he doesn't know when it will be after that, the world is changing too fast, he's afraid that things will change again then.
······
When Liu Bei's horse stopped, he had already escaped from Cao Jun's pursuit. The only ones who escaped with him were a group of horses and horses who were with him at that time, only a few hundred people.
The horse under him stopped and lowered his head to eat the grass on the side of the road. Liu Bei sat on the horse with a gray expression, his shoulders drooping.
"My lord." The young man in white came to his side, and he was also the one who ran out of Cao Jun just now.
"This is not the time to be emotional. When I escape, Cao Jun will definitely chase after me. Take a short rest and go to General Yuguan as soon as possible."
"I know." Liu Bei looked slumped on horseback, but he replied again: "I know."
The hand holding the rein tightly showed that he was very restless at this moment.
Zhang Fei, who was standing by the side, led his horse in panic and came over, looked in the direction of Cao Jun, and his rough face was silent for a while.
When Liu Bei was about to leave with his army, he stepped forward and said.
"Brother, I can lead an army to stop the pursuers."
Immediately, Liu Bei's face was pale, and he stayed at this moment, he knew what Zhang Fei was planning.
Shaking his head absentmindedly: "No, you go with me."
As he spoke, he was about to urge the horse to pass by Zhang Fei.
"Crack." Zhang Fei grabbed Liu Bei's reins, and he, who was supposed to be hot-tempered, was rarely calm at this moment, and said to Liu Bei, holding his spear.
"Brother, you know that if you walk like this, Cao Jun will definitely catch up."
Liu Bei didn't answer for a while, and at this point, he can't blame anyone, and he can't keep anyone.
"Take all the cavalry, and nothing will happen."
There is very little he can do.
"Yeah." Zhang Fei grinned at the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother."
Turning his horse, Liu Bei went east and he went west.
"Brother, be careful on the road, a cavalry army, follow me!"
With a loud shout, Zhang Fei led a cavalry army away.
Liu Bei's hand holding the rein was shaking, and his clothes were wet with hot tears. Gritting his teeth, as if exhausting all his strength, he spit out two words from his mouth.
"Troubled times..."
It was already night, and in front of the Long Banqiao, the river was rolling, and there was only a wooden bridge connecting the two banks of Hengduan. If Cao Jun wants to chase Liu Bei, he must cross this bridge.
Zhang Fei led the cavalry to stop in front of the bridge. Breaking the bridge was the fastest way to stop Cao Jun, but this bridge couldn't stop Cao Jun for long.
Looking at the woods on both sides, Zhang Fei waved to the cavalry behind him.
"Everyone tied branches and leaves behind their horses and ran through the forest."
The cavalry took the lead, and more than a hundred cavalry moved very quickly, and they were ready in almost the time of a cup of tea.
The tails of the horses were tied with branches and leaves, and they were carried on the ground. As the cavalry ran back and forth in the forest, the smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of hooves kept ringing. It was impossible to see clearly through the night, as if there were thousands of cavalry in the forest.
But Zhang Fei immediately stood at the end of the bridge alone, looking at the end of the road.
Not long after, the neighing of war horses came, and a Cao flag appeared in his eyes.
It was a group of cavalry, about 5,000 people, marching quickly, it was a fine army.
When they rushed to the long version of the bridge, the leading general reined in his horse and raised his hand, and the five thousand people gradually stopped and looked at the opposite side of the bridge.
A big man with a black face stood at the end of the bridge and rode on a horse, with a rather long spear on his shoulders, his beard stood upside down, and he had a fierce look on his body.
Cao Chun narrowed his eyes, he had seen this person before. One of Liu Bei's brave generals, named Zhang Fei, is said to be Liu Bei's sworn brother, and it seems that he died here.
In the forest on both sides of the bridge, smoke and dust billowed, figures swayed, and there were endless sounds of horseshoes. It seems that there is a large army on the side, and the number of people will definitely not be much less than them.
Strange, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have been dispersed, where did this army come from
Cao Chun frowned in surprise.
Seeing that Cao Jun in front of the bridge did not move lightly, Zhang Fei knew that his strategy had succeeded, so he swung the spear from his side.
There was a sharp wind, and he shouted loudly.
"Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide from Yan are here, who will fight!?"
That shout carried a sweeping evil spirit, and the sound stopped the clouds, as if it made the river rushing under the bridge stagnate.
The war horse under Cao Jun retreated unconsciously.
Cao Chun was also startled by the roar of this life, and almost believed that Zhang Fei really had an army by his side, but he always felt that something was wrong.
few days ago.
"General Zihe." Cao Chun was stopped by a voice behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a man in white with a bamboo hat.
Cao Chun bowed down and said, "Military Master, what's the matter?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just want to tell you something." The man in white waved his hand and stepped forward.
"It's a good thing that General Zihe marches cautiously, but this time, if General Zihe leads the army, I hope the general will not fall into the trap of suspicion."
After finishing speaking, the gentleman in white waved his hands and walked away with a smile.
"Suspicious strategy?" Cao Chun stood there in a daze, puzzled.
···
Cao Chun stood in front of the bridge and did not speak, but waited for a while, and the sound of horseshoes in the woods continued.
His expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up, not to mention where Liu Bei got these thousands of cavalry.
Just talking about the sound of hooves, the horse has been running endlessly, and the horse doesn't know whether it is tired or not.
If there are soldiers and horses by the side, why deliberately make such a noise to deceive people
"Zhang Fei!" Cao Chun raised the long knife in his hand and pointed at Zhang Fei at the bridgehead and said loudly.
"Don't show off your suspicious tactics anymore, the calculations you wait for are all in the calculations of my military adviser!"
"Bah!" Zhang Fei spat, held the spear with both hands, and said with a ferocious face: "Is it a trick of the army, you will know if you try it?"
"Then try it!" Cao Chun clamped his horse's belly: "Even if there are really thousands of cavalry, I will wait for the tiger and leopard to ride, and I will not be afraid of you."
With a wave of the long knife, the snow-white light of the knife was reflected, and the sound of killing broke the quiet night.
"kill!"
···
"Wow!" The wine was poured into three bowls, and a few drops spilled out.
The three people in front of the wine looked at each other and smiled, raised their wine bowls, and knelt down facing the sky and the earth.
Three sticks of incense were burned in front of him, and the green smoke was scattered.
The surrounding peach trees were in full bloom, and the blooming scene should be the best scene he had ever seen in his life.
The three kneeling people held up wine and read in unison: "I, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, have become brothers, and we will work together to rescue the poor and help the crisis; report to the country, and go to An Lishu. Don't expect to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. , I wish to die on the same day, same year, same month. Emperor Heaven and Empress Dowager, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ungratefulness, and heaven and man will kill together!"
The three wine bowls collided and were drank down in one gulp.
"Hahaha, although the world is big, I will go with the horse!"
"Okay! Let's go together!"
When the strong wind blows, the flowers fall all over the garden.
···
"Brother." Zhang Fei greeted Cao Jun who was rushing, grinning.
"In the next life, talk again in Taoyuan!"
When the river turned over, a black wind blew up along the river bank, and it stayed there for a long time.
