Outside the window, Meiyu was pattering underground, and a middle-aged man with a height of eight feet and a magnificent appearance was pacing the room, sighing from time to time. It was thought that Cao Cao could stop for a while during the rainy season. But the scheming Cao Cao unexpectedly sent the vanguard Cao Ren and the deputy vanguard Li Dian, and led an army of fifty thousand to attack Xinye. In the hasty challenge, Liu Bei was defeated. Under the desperate protection of the generals, he was able to escape to Fancheng. But Fancheng...
"Cough cough cough..." Liu Bei's thoughts were interrupted by a rapid cough.
"Xun'er, you are awake. But I was terrified for my father," Liu Bei said as he touched Liu Xun's forehead. Liu Xun is Liu Bei's son, now fifteen years old, and was born to Liu Beizheng's wife, Mrs. Gan. His facial features are exquisite, his behavior is extraordinary, and his whole body reveals a kind of kingly air. Under the strict guidance of Mrs. Gan, Liu Xun has read many books since he was a child, and is diligent and studious. Also under the tutelage of Guan Yu, he practiced good kung fu. Coupled with the influence of the environment, Liu Xun has developed a determined and steady personality since he was a child, so there is a kind of maturity that does not match his age.
"It's okay, father, I also suffered a little injury. It's okay if my father is okay." Liu Xun saw tears in his father's eyes and smiled to comfort his father.
"Father, I'm hungry. Let my mother make me a bowl of rice porridge. Mother's rice porridge..." Before Liu Xun finished speaking, Liu Bei couldn't help sobbing.
"What's the matter, father? What's the matter, what's the matter with mother?" Liu Xun saw his father's expression and felt that something might have happened to his mother, so he kept asking.
"Son, your mother was shot by Liu Bei when she broke through the encirclement, and she has already left..." Liu Bei couldn't say any more and couldn't help crying.
When Liu Xun heard this, he immediately felt that the world was spinning like a bolt from the blue, which was unacceptable. Think of my mother carefully teaching herself since she was a child, never letting herself be wronged at all, and recalled that everything is vividly visible, as if it had just happened. Liu Xun still couldn't believe that his mother was no longer there, and his heart was like a knife, tears streaming down his eyes.
"Lord, it's okay, Cao Ren led the army here," Zhao Yun shouted as he ran in.
"Cao Thief, deceive people too much, it's a big deal to fight with them." Liu Xun was obviously very angry, and he wanted to put the other party to death.
Seeing that Liu Xun was like this, Zhao Yun thought that his body should be fine, so a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After all, Zhao Yun was on the same team as Liu Xun when he broke through. If Liu Xun had any accidents, Zhao Yun would definitely blame himself for a lifetime.
"Xun'er, don't worry, this battle has to be discussed long-term. Fancheng is our last city, so I can't miss it," Liu Beiyu said earnestly.
"Yeah, son, Cao thief is a crowd, we need to avoid his edge and make plans," Zhao Yun echoed.
How could Liu Xun know this truth, but his mother was killed by Cao Jun. Liu Xun was deeply saddened, and he was angry for a while, so he couldn't manage that much. Therefore, he had to go out in a hurry and fight Cao Jun desperately.
Liu Bei put on his armor and took Zhao Yun out to check the enemy's situation. As Liu Xun recovered from his serious injury, Liu Bei wanted to let Liu Xun rest in bed, but Liu Xun disagreed. Although the wound on his chest was still aching, Liu Xun put on his armor and went out with Liu Bei.
As soon as Liu Bei, Liu Xun and others stepped on the city wall, soldiers came to report. General Zhang Fei was swearing at Cao Ren, so he led a thousand soldiers out of the city to fight Cao Ren. Liu Bei followed the sound of fighting, and saw that Zhang Fei and Cao Ren were in a fierce battle under the city, and the Cao army was densely packed and black.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was in a dangerous situation, Liu Bei was anxious and angry, so he asked Guan Yu beside him, "You know your third brother is reckless, why don't you stop him."
"I stopped, but you know the hot temper of the third brother, you can't stop it", after speaking, Guan Yu sighed, as if he was blaming himself for failing to stop the third brother in time, causing him to be in a dangerous situation now.
Liu Xun was observing the battlefield situation at this time, and Zhang Fei was besieged by Cao Ren, which seemed dangerous. However, Cao Jun relied on a large number of people, absent-minded in fighting, and a loose formation. Liu Xun thought to himself that as long as I led the army to attack, I would surely be able to blaze a trail and rescue the third uncle.
So Liu Xun asked Liu Bei for his life and said, "Lord, although Cao's army is many and powerful, but the formation is loose. As long as you give me a thousand elite soldiers, I will lead the army to attack, and promise to break a bloody path and save San Shu.
After Liu Bei heard it, he admired Liu Xun's idea very much, and was about to agree.
Zhao Yun and Guan Yu said in unison from the side: "The son is of the lord's bloodline, how can he personally commit the danger, we are willing to lead the army to kill Cao Jun and rescue General Zhang Fei."
Liu Bei looked at everyone and said loudly: "All the generals are my blood relatives, Liu Bei, and I can't be special. I will personally help Liu Xunlei." Guan Yu and Zhao Yun repeatedly asked Liu Bei for orders to go with them.
Liu Beicai reluctantly allowed Zhao Yun to go with Liu Xun to rescue Zhang Fei.
Liu Xun and Zhao Yun led one thousand elite soldiers to gather under the city gate. Hearing the sound of the drum, Liu Xun said impassionedly: "The whole army will charge with me, destroy the enemy, and rescue General Zhang."
Immediately, a thousand elite soldiers fought out bravely with the sound of drums. I saw Liu Xun taking the lead, flickering from left to right, and dropping the enemy to the ground. He was so majestic. He was really a young hero.
A general in Cao Ying drove his horse to Liu Xun to kill him, and shouted: "Who will come? Name it."
Liu Xun followed the prestige and saw this man with a stubborn face and a hideous face. This person is Cao Tong, Cao Ren's younger brother, and Cao Tong is very arrogant because he relies on many soldiers.
Liu Xun was not timid, and shouted to Cao Tong: "I am your grandfather, Liu Xun."
After Cao Tong heard it, he became angry and swung his axe up and slashed. Liu Xun hurriedly caught the big axe with the "Beidou spear", and the sound of the weapon colliding was really deafening. The weapon Liu Xun used was the "Beidou Gun". According to legend, this gun was made from the only piece of iron ore on the Beidou Mountain. It was light, strong, and easy to use.
Liu Xun and Cao Tong, you come and me, kill in the dark, and the fight is inseparable. Liu Xun thought about it, the enemy generals are very powerful, it is difficult to win the enemy, only outsmart. After making up his mind, Liu Xun deliberately sold a flaw and ran back on horseback. Cao Tong thought that Liu Xun was defeated, so he was overjoyed and pursued Liu Xun. He was bound to kill Liu Xun.
Seeing that Cao Tong was about to overtake him, Liu Xun immediately returned to his horse and stabbed Cao Tong with one shot. Cao Tong fell to the ground. Liu Xun ended Cao Tong's life with another shot.
Upon seeing this, Li Dian wanted to rush over to rescue him, but was stopped by Zhao Yun. The two fought for dozens of rounds, regardless of the outcome. However, Li Dian was a bit inferior after all, and gradually became exhausted, so he returned to his horse and ran. Because of the large number of enemy soldiers, Zhao Yun did not chase after him. He just wanted to cut a bloody way and rescue Zhang Fei.
Sure enough, as Liu Xun expected, Cao Jun was so arrogant that he was suddenly attacked by Liu Jun, so he quickly collapsed. At this time, the fierce battle between Cao Ren and Zhang Fei was going on, but unexpectedly the front army collapsed. Cao Ren didn't want to fight, so he found the right opportunity, sold a flaw, and ran away immediately. Upon seeing this in the city, Liu Bei ordered Sun Qian and Jian Yong to guard the city, while he and Guan Yu led two thousand men and horses out of the city to kill Cao Jun. Cao Jun was defeated and Cao Ren and Li Dian counted their troops and found that more than two thousand people had been lost. So Cao Ren ordered the sergeants to rest in Xinye and fight another day.
When he arrived in the city, Zhang Fei knelt down and apologized to Liu Bei, "Thank you, Lord, for your life-saving grace. I rushed out of the city and brought trouble to the Lord."
Liu Bei said: Third brother must not be reckless in the future. Remember today's deeds and redeem it later." Zhang Fei nodded without saying a word, as if he knew that because of his recklessness, he almost caused a disaster.
The sky gradually dimmed. Liu Xun sat on the stone bench in the yard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, thinking that tomorrow will be a good weather. However, the current dangerous situation is not as beautiful as the weather. Thinking of this, Liu Xun sighed deeply. Although our army had a fluke win today, Cao Jun only injured a bit of fur, and our army was in Xinye. Of the ten thousand troops accumulated, there are only about five thousand people left, and this amount of troops simply can't beat Cao Ren's fifty thousand troops.
But I can't be discouraged or discouraged, Liu Xun tried to persuade himself to maintain confidence. If I can't overcome even this difficulty, how can I rejuvenate the Han Dynasty with my father and benefit the Han people? As long as you work hard, there must be a way to defend the city. Thinking of this, Liu Xun's heart is full of strength.
The moon now seems brighter than before...
