Jingyang, located at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, on the shore of the Jing River, is in the hinterland of the 800-mile Qinchuan River, and is an important hub area in Guanzhong with the Jing River and the Wei River in the south. Jia Xu and Li Ru led the troops to retreat and gradually approached Jingyang.

The original station of the two was in Gaoling, but they were defeated in successive battles and had to retreat towards Jingyang.

In the evening, the night was as dark as ink.

The army set up camp and rested.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Jia Xu and Li Ru sat above, and Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Dian Man and Zhou Cang sat below. Huang Zhong, Dian Man, Xu Rong, and Zhou Cang's expressions all looked aggrieved, because the four of them were defeated one after another, all because of Jia Xu and Li Ru's orders, if it weren't for Jia Xu and Li Ru's orders, they wouldn't have failed every time.

Huang Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Jia, if we retreat again and again, when will we counterattack?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head lightly and said, "The time has not yet come, don't worry!" ”

Dian Man rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Jia, look at Mr. Guo and Mr. Xun, they have always blocked Cao Cao outside Hangu Pass and have not taken a step back. On the other hand, we have been defeated all the way, although we are pretending to fail, but after the news of the failure is transmitted back to Chengdu, we don't look good on our faces! ”

Zhou Cang continued: "Lord Jia, if the lord asks, what should we do? ”

The two of them asked questions repeatedly.

Jia Xu listened to the words of the two of them, and a smile rose on his serious cheeks. He reached out and took out a letter from his cuff, then handed it to Huang Zhong, and said, "This is a letter sent by the Lord's messenger, you all take a closer look at it, so that you don't be anxious and worried." ”

When Li Ru heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

As partners with Jia Xu, he naturally knew what Wang Can wrote in his letter to Jia Xu.

After Huang Zhong saw it, he said loudly: "Be bold, let it go!" ”

It is a very simple and popular eight words, but it has Wang Can's signature and seal. After Huang Zhong read it, a bitter smile appeared on his face, although Wang Can did not express anything clearly, but the eight words on the letter showed Wang Can's attitude, and also gave Jia Xu and Li Ru the greatest support.

After Xu Rong, Dianman, and Zhou Cang finished reading, they also sighed.

The four of them could only accept their fate and continue to feign defeat and retreat.

Li Ru put his hands on his knees and rubbed them gently, and said: "Don't worry, after we arrive in Jingyang, we will launch a counterattack, wait patiently for a while, don't worry!" ”

Dian Man perked up, with an excited look on his face, and asked, "Mr. Li, is that really the case?" ”

Li Ru nodded and acknowledged.

Dianman looked at Jia Xu again, expecting Jia Xu's reaction.

Jia Xu looked at the expression on Dian Man's immature cheeks, a little helpless, why did he choose this big man with tendons in the first place? Knowing this, it was time to choose Huang Xu. Jia Xu sighed, nodded and said: "To fight with Yuan Shao, we must first be arrogant and make Yuan Shao arrogant, so the location of the counterattack is set in Jingyang, and after arriving in Jingyang, we will start the counterattack." ”

Dianman laughed and said, "Great, I finally don't have to continue to lose." ”

Huang Zhong continued: "Aman, don't think that you won't be defeated and retreat, you have to continue to retreat early tomorrow morning, there are still three or two days before Jingyang here." ”

"Huh?"

Dianman exclaimed in surprise and shriveled down.

In the big tent, hearty laughter sounded.

……

Runan, the county guard's house.

This used to be the place where Wang Can rose, in the past when Wang Can just came to this era, it started from Runan, when Wang Can was a member of the Yellow Turban in Runan, and now only a few years have passed, Wang Can is already Yizhou Mu, Zhennan General, Shu Marquis, and his status is completely different.

It's just that after Wang Can went to Hanzhong to take up his post, Runan was handed over to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army to garrison.

After Liu Bei led his troops to Runan, he quickly occupied Runan.

Liu Bei took Runan as a foothold, expanded rapidly, gained a firm foothold in Yuzhou, and was already a prince.

It can also be seen from this Liu Bei's ability, he used Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as generals, killed chickens and monkeys with thunderous means, and killed the gentry who dared to rebel, but he opened a warehouse to release grain and help the people, so as to win over the people, so that the people were grateful to Liu Bei, and let the people of Yuzhou support him and recognize him.

In a short period of time, Liu Bei had his own power.

However, Liu Bei still feels that there are not enough talents, because only Jian Yong and Sun Qian, two Wenchens under his command, are more outstanding, and the rest of the Wenchen are more average, as for Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, although the two are quite successful in business, they can transform from businessmen to officials at once, and there is not enough time for the two to show their talents.

Many things were done by Liu Bei himself.

Although Liu Bei was very tired, he was overjoyed in his heart, because he enjoyed it.

In the study, Liu Bei was reviewing the military affairs of Yuzhou.

At some point, the door creaked open, and an attendant quickly ran in and reported: "My lord, it's not good, the third general and the second general are fighting!" ”

"Smack!"

The brush in Liu Bei's hand fell on the bamboo slip, and he immediately got up and asked, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

After he stood up, he walked directly out of the study, and he no longer had the heart to review military affairs. Liu Bei asked as he walked, "What happened, how could the second brother and the third brother suddenly fight?" ”

The attendant replied: "The villain didn't know, only knew that a soldier came back to report the news, and the third general was furious when he learned about it, and the second general stopped the third general, and the two had a conflict." ”

Liu Bei frowned, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He can do without Runan, he can do without Yuzhou, but he must not do without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, because these two people are not only the generals under his command, but also his second and third brothers. The three of them share hardships together, and their feelings have surpassed that of ordinary brothers, and if something happens, it is undoubtedly a broken bone and a tendon, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

Not long after, Liu Bei came to the place where the two had a conflict.

At this time, the two were still twisting together, arguing loudly.

Liu Bei drank away the attendants, sent the surrounding soldiers away, stepped forward, and shouted coldly: "Second brother, third brother, what are you two doing, your own brother, still don't let go?" ”

Liu Bei spoke, and the two immediately separated.

Zhang Fei looked indignant, and said angrily: "Big brother, a soldier just reported that Chen Gong, the envoy sent by Lu Bu, came to Runan City. In the past, Chen Gong took away Lu Bu's eldest brother from Xuzhou, and now he has come to Runan, which must not be bad. After I got the news, I was going to take the soldiers to kill Chen Gong, but the second brother stopped me and didn't let me kill Chen Gong. Big brother, you give a comment, did the second brother do the right thing? ”

Guan Yu's face was red, he reached out and stroked his long hair, and shook his head slightly.

Liu Bei said: "Third brother, your second brother did the right thing, he stopped you for me, not to let you take revenge." ”

Zhang Fei looked puzzled, and said: "Big brother, there is a life-and-death feud between us and Lu Bu, if it wasn't for the eldest brother to take Lu Bu in, he would still be a stray dog now, but the eldest brother was kind enough to take him in, but he took Xuzhou, such a wolf-hearted person should have been killed a long time ago." And Chen Gong is the one who picked up Lu Bu, and he should be killed! ”

Liu Bei said: "Third brother, Chen Gong is here, there must be something important, and let's hear what it is first." ”

Zhang Fei wanted to speak, but was glared at by Liu Bei.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei stopped talking.

PS: The fourth watch is completed, and I have taken a break at the end of work.
