At night, the flames soared into the sky.

The sound of messy and hurried footsteps kept coming, breaking the silent night sky.

When Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led the army to the place of battle, the battlefield was full of stumps and broken arms, and the scene was bleak and tragic. One by one, the wounded soldiers lay on the ground, screaming and groaning, sighing. The soldiers who chose to surrender on their knees remained in place, waiting for Liu Bei to arrive.

These soldiers heard the footsteps and saw Liu Bei's soldiers, as if they had seen a life-saving straw, and they were very excited.

Among the soldiers, most of them were soldiers under Liu Bei.

Lü Bu was killed by Dian Wei, Gan Ning, and Pang De, and these soldiers did not have any sense of guilt, and naturally returned to the army and became Liu Bei's soldiers again. Liu Bei rode on a horse and looked around the battlefield, and when he led the troops to hurry, he had already sent scouts to inquire about the news, and he also knew the news that Lu Bu had been killed.

Lu Bu died, and Liu Bei was the happiest.

However, Liu Bei did not show the slightest excitement, but made an inquiring gesture.

He found a few soldiers under Lu Bu's command and inquired about the situation in front of all the soldiers. At the same time, Liu Bei blamed himself bitterly, regretting that it should not have come too late.

Liu Bei shouted loudly, saying that if he had arrived earlier with the soldiers, he would definitely be able to save Lu Bu, and these words moved the soldiers under Lu Bu to tears. But the soldiers who followed Liu Bei were expressionless, they knew that Liu Bei had killed the soldiers sent by Lu Bu to deliver the news, and they knew that Liu Bei was stagnant with the soldiers.

It can be said that Lu Bu's death was caused by Liu Bei.

The soldiers knew it, but they wouldn't say it, because they also wanted Lu Bu to die.

Moreover, they were not soldiers under Lu Bu, they were Liu Bei's soldiers, so they were naturally loyal to Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei looked at the surrounding situation with an indifferent expression, rode his horse to Liu Bei's side, and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, Lu Bu was killed, Lu Meng, Dian Wei and others have not retreated for a long time, they should not go far, should we catch up and take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and ordered: "Since you haven't caught up, you don't need to chase after it, and prepare to collect the troops." ”

"No!"

Zhang Fei replied abruptly, but he was still very excited, because Lu Bu was dead, and this white-eyed wolf was finally killed, which was too happy. When Zhang Fei was happy in his heart, he suddenly thought of Guan Yu somehow, thinking that Guan Yu had no news yet, and he felt that it was not a good taste.

Liu Bei asked the soldiers to clear the battlefield, and then retreated with the soldiers.

The army returned in vain, and by the time they returned to the camp, it was already dark.

Chen Gong learned that Liu Bei had returned to the camp with the soldiers, and hurriedly ran to Liu Bei's camp. Liu Bei led the troops to rescue Lu Bu, rushed to the road all night, and slept all night, while Chen Gong was worried about Lu Bu's safety, and he didn't close his eyes all night, his eyes still had dark circles, and his expression looked tired and haggard.

Chen Gong bowed to Liu Bei, and then sat down.

Liu Bei was heartbroken, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Gongtai, last night I led my troops to rescue General Lu, although I galloped all the way, but I was also a step too late, so that Lu Meng killed General Lu and had already led the army to retreat. Alas, now that General Lu has been killed, he has an unshirkable responsibility. If I had arrived earlier, it wouldn't have been like this. ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes, making an expression of regret.

When Chen Gong heard this, his body was shaky as if he had been struck by lightning.

Lu Bu was killed, so what should Xuzhou do?

Lu Bu has only one daughter under his knees, and even if he has a son, he is not yet an adult and cannot take charge. In the face of the wolf-like princes, without Lu Bu's Optimus Prime, Xuzhou will definitely not be able to keep it, and after the big clan in Xuzhou learns that Lu Bu was killed, they will also be ready to move and wait for an opportunity to rebel.

Chen Gong stroked his forehead with his hand, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Bei said: "Gongtai, the matter has come to this point, please mourn and change!" ”

Chen Gong's expression was solemn, and he hugged his fists and said, "Duke Xuande, the palace still has important matters, so let's return to the camp first." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Gong turned around and left Liu Bei's camp.

After Chen Gong left the camp tent, a burly man walked out from behind the screen of the camp tent, and this person was naturally Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his brows tightened, and he said, "Big brother, didn't you say that once Lu Bu died, he would have a 100% chance of subduing Chen Gong?" Why didn't he open his mouth to persuade him, but let Chen Gong leave. ”

Liu Bei said: "Third brother, things have to be divided into occasions, and it is not appropriate to talk about these things now." ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei had a confident expression on his face.

Chen Gong is already in his possession, as long as he waits for the opportunity, he can subdue Chen Gong. As for the land of Xuzhou, it is about to be in his pocket, as soon as Lu Bu dies, Xuzhou changes hands, and Liu Bei also has a chance to regain control of Xuzhou.

Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, the second brother hasn't come back now, what should we do?" ”

Liu Bei's eyes were cold, and he said, "Wait, wait for the news of Shangyong." ”

……

Yuan army camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, his expression was decadent, and his face showed a disgraced expression.

He led thousands of soldiers to stop Lu Meng's advance, but was beaten by Lu Meng, and only a few hundred soldiers remained, which simply lost the face of the old Yuan family. Although everyone in the world regards Yuan Shao Na as the representative of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu thinks that he is the heir of the Yuan family and the most important eldest son of the Yuan family.

Below the tent, Qiao Rui and Li Feng sat on the left and right.

Qiao Rui had a wound on her buttocks, so she had to kneel up straight, otherwise she would touch the wound.

Yuan Shu convened the two to discuss the matter of retiring the army. Now that Yuan Shu's strength is weak, there is no point in staying here, so Yuan Shu wants to slip away. Just as the three of them were discussing, the curtain of the tent was opened, and a soldier quickly ran in, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "General, Liu Bei came back with news, Lu Bu was killed!" ”

"Lu Bu was killed?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu stood up suddenly.

He was breathing a little short, rubbing his hands together and pacing back and forth in the tent. Yuan Shu stared at the soldiers, his eyes flashing with Dao essence, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the news reliable?" ”

The soldier Zhengse said: "Absolutely reliable, even Lu Bu's head was cut off." ”

"Smack!"

Yuan Shu slapped his palms and secretly praised it.

He sent the soldiers out, then walked to the center of the camp tent and said with a smile: "Wow, as soon as Lu Bu dies, Xuzhou will have no master." Even if Lu Bu has children under his knees, they are not in the climate, and it is impossible for them to sit firmly in Xuzhou. Yangzhou is next to Xuzhou, as soon as Lu Bu died, it created an opportunity for us, as long as Xuzhou was obtained, the general's power could go to the next level. ”

As soon as Lu Bu died, Yuan Shu rejoiced.

From this, it can also be seen that Lu Bu has found two 'good' allies.

Qiao Rui also rejoiced, and said with a smile: "Chen Gong is Lu Bu's military advisor, now that Lu Bu has been killed, Chen Gong has great power, as long as the lord subdues Chen Gong, isn't Xuzhou the lord's bag?" ”

Li Feng nodded in agreement.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he said loudly.

He immediately asked the soldiers to inform Chen Gong and asked Chen Gong to come to the camp to discuss the matter. Yuan Shu was full of expectations and wanted to subdue Chen Gong and take Xuzhou, but after the soldiers went to spread the news, they came back and said that Chen Gong did not see Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shu die. As a result, Chen Gong directly rejected Yuan Shu's request and was unwilling to submit to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's brows furrowed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Chen Gong doesn't cooperate, it's not easy to do things!

Li Feng said: "Lord, since the soft one can't work, let's come to the hard one." Now that it is impossible to attack Wang Can, we immediately withdraw our troops, return to Yangzhou, re-recruit soldiers to attack Xuzhou, and take Xuzhou in one go while Xuzhou is not stable. At that time, even if Chen Gong was unwilling, there was no way to refuse. ”

Yuan Shu nodded yes and ordered: "The army packed up and retreated immediately!" ”

At noon, Yuan Shu left the camp with the soldiers and returned to Yangzhou.

Liu Bei knew that Yuan Shu had sent someone to invite Chen Gong, but in the end he was refused. Now that Yuan Shu left in a hurry, Liu Bei could also guess Yuan Shu's thoughts, but Liu Bei did not stop him and let Yuan Shu leave. Only with Yuan Shu's good cooperation, he can easily subdue Chen Gong and enter Xuzhou.

Everything is running according to Liu Bei's ideas.

However, Guan Yu's matter made Liu Bei very sad, and now he doesn't know whether Guan Yu is alive or dead.

It stands to reason that Liu Bei has achieved the purpose of this trip and can withdraw his troops, but Liu Bei did not get any news from Guan Yu, so he had to stay to investigate Guan Yu's situation.
